He wriggled, he struggled ... and then he broke free. Prince George made a determined crawl for freedom as he watched his father play polo yesterday.

The entertainers: Prince Harry and Prince |
The Manchester derby is one of the fiercest rivalries in world football. Despite their struggles this season, City and United are among the biggest clubs in the country and there will be hundreds of millions of pounds worth of talent on show at the Etihad Stadium. But who has the better players? Does red or blue come out on top when their stars are judged by Sportsmail's High Court? Scroll down to find out... VIDEO Scroll down to watch Yaya Toure hail the singings of Falcao and Di Maria . The likely line-ups for Manchester City against United on Sunday . Goalkeeper: Joe Hart vs David de Gea . The Manchester United goalkeeper has established himself as one of the best stoppers in the Barclays Premier League. He has transformed from the lightweight youngster who joined the club to a heavyweight of the side who is often relied upon to keep them in matches. Manchester City's Joe Hart, in comparison, is too prone to mistakes and his position in the team is all-too often questioned. VERDICT: Hart 8/10 De Gea 9 . David de Gea has enjoyed a fine start to the season in goal for Manchester United . Joe Hart just fails to keep out Diafra Sakho's header in Manchester City's defeat by West Ham . Right back: Pablo Zabaleta vs Rafael . Zabaleta is one of the best full backs in the world, tirelessly running up and down that flank all game. He is almost as important to City's attack as he is their defence. Rafael, however, is is a liability at right back for United. VERDICT: Zabaleta 8 Rafael 6 . Pablo Zabaleta (left) is one of the world's best full backs whereas Rafael is a liability . Centre back: Vincent Kompany vs Chris Smalling . Neither defence has covered themselves in glory this season, with City conceding too many soft goals, but United's centre of defence has been terrible for much of the season. Kompany is much better than Smalling, that's all there is to it. VERDICT: Kompany 9 Smalling 6 . Vincent Kompany is the leader of City's defence, even if he is not quite at his imperious best . Chris Smalling wrestles Branislav Ivanovic to the ground in United's draw against Chelsea . Centre back: Martin Demichelis vs Marcos Rojo . Demichelis was a liability for part of last season but rallied and is now seen as a safe option at the heart of City's defence. Rojo is a better full back than a centre half and seems to struggle with the physicality of the Premier League. VERDICT: Demichelis 7 Rojo 6 . Martin Demichelis (left) has turned his City career around but compatriot Marcos Rojo seems lightweight . Left back: Gael Clichy vs Luke Shaw . Shaw has had a troubled start to his career at United, struggling for fitness and with injury, but since he has got back into the side he is starting to find the form that made him the best young full back in the country. City's Gael Clichy has looked slow and off-the-pace recently, and lacks the ability of Shaw even when fully fit. VERDICT: Clichy 7 Shaw 8 . Gael Clichy is beaten in the air by Sakho and has looked off the pace this season . Luke Shaw (right) is finding his feet after a slow start to his United career . Midfielder: Fernando vs Daley Blind . Blind, at United, can seemingly play anywhere but is making a strong case for being a regular holding midfielder. He can screen the back four as well as join the attack to do damage to opponents. Fernando seems to have struggled a bit since his arrival at City. VERDICT: Fernando 7 Blind 8 . Fernando seems to have struggled since arriving at City but Daley Blind (right) is United's midfield screen . Midfielder: James Milner vs Michael Carrick . Milner has had a very good start to the season and has been rewarded with starts in the majority of City's matches. His energy is very useful to Pellegrini. This would be Carrick's first match of the season but when he's on form he makes United tick. VERDICT: Milner 7 Carrick 7 . The industrious James Milner (right) challenges Jack Colback in City's defeat by Newcastle . Michael Carrick, at training on Friday, is in line to start his first match of the season for United . Midfielder: Yaya Toure vs Marouane Fellaini . The battle of the big men in midfield. Even if he is well off his usual form this season, Toure is one of the league's powerhouses and there is always the potential for a goal from nowhere. Fellaini seems to have turned a corner after his goal at West Brom and lung-busting performance against Chelsea. Toure is still his better, however. VERDICT: Toure 8 Fellaini 7 . Yaya Toure has been below par this season but can still dominate the midfield . Marouane Fellaini looked reinvigorated against Chelsea and here takes on Gary Cahill . Attacking midfielder: Samir Nasri vs Angel di Maria . The Argentine has been played on either flank for United and creates magic with that left foot. Although what he produces is no illusion – he can pick out a man with a pass or score from virtually anywhere and his pace can take him away from opponents. Nasri is more of a touch player and sometimes seems to go missing - but can also produce a goal or a pass from nothing. VERDICT: Nasri 8 Di Maria 9 . Samir Nasri (right) is City's creative spark and will hope to unlock the United defence . Angel di Maria can create chances from set-pieces and in open play and will be vital for United . Striker: Edin Dzeko vs Robin van Persie . Both cost more than £25m but are their club's secondary striker. Neither centre forward has fired this season - Dzeko has scored just twice in the Premier League (although one was a beauty at Hull) and Van Persie has looked off-colour since the World Cup, although United will hope the last-gasp equaliser against Chelsea will galvanise the Dutchman. VERDICT: Dzeko 7 Van Persie 8 . Edin Dzeko has failed to fire this season for City and was in the side that lost against Newcastle . Robin van Persie (right) slams in the equaliser against Chelsea and United hope there will be many more . Striker: Sergio Aguero vs Wayne Rooney . Now on to the talismanic centre forwards. Aguero's record this season speaks for itself: 11 goals in 13 games in all competitions, eight goals in his last seven, joint-top scorer in the Premier League with nine. Although less prolific this season, Rooney will be champing at the bit after his three-match suspension and will lead United's attack . VERDICT: Aguero 9 Rooney 8 .

By . David Mccormack . A special education teacher in Philadelphia has been accused of having a sex at least ten times with a 14-year-old student. Stephanie Amato, a teacher at Ethan Allen School, handed herself in to authorities at the Special Victims Unit on Wednesday night. The 30-year-old has been charged with offenses including involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, statutory sexual assault and corruption of a minor. 'Fun with these kids!': Stephanie Amato, a special education teacher at Ethan Allen Elementary, Philadelphia, has been charged with offenses including statutory sexual assault and corruption of a minor . According to the District Attorney’s office, Amato had been engaged in a sexual relationship with the boy during March and April of this year. The alleged encounters happened in her car and at her home. The two were allegedly sending explicit text messages and Amato told him not to tell. Tasha Jamerson, spokeswoman for District Attorney Seth Williams, called the sex ‘consensual," according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. When the boy's father discovered the relationship, he pulled his son from the school. Stephanie Amato was released early on Thursday after posting 10 percent of bail set at $125,000, according to court records . Amato, 30, has been charged with offenses including involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, statutory sexual assault and corruption of a minor . The child's father, who we are not identifying, spoke exclusively to Action News. 'I was very upset. She took my kid's youth and I really want justice to take care of this woman,' he told WPVI. 'He's not doing too well, he doesn't want to go to school. He feels humiliated, since that happened he changed.' The allegations against Amato were first made in April, said Philadelphia School District spokesman Fernando Gallard. School officials then notified city and school police, and the teacher was removed her from the classroom pending an investigation. Amato, who has been a teacher for six years, was also barred from having contact with her students. On Tuesday she posted several photos on Facebook of her posing with some of her students. One picture is captioned ‘My fav students!!’ 'My fav students!!' On Tuesday Amato posted several photos on Facebook of her posing with some of her students . In another photo - captioned ‘Fun with these kids!’ - Amato is sitting in a car surrounded by four young men. An unnamed source at the school told the Inquirer that Amato would often spend time out of school with groups of her students. She is currently suspended with pay, but after an administrative hearing next week she could lose her pay. Parents were only informed of Amato's arrest through a letter sent home this week. Principal Cassandra Houston said that the district is 'working closely with the Philadelphia Police Department's Special Victims Unit to ensure that a thorough investigation is conducted.'

By . Tom Kelly . and Nick Fagge . Free: Shajul Islam, who was accused of kidnapping a British journalist in Syria, leaving Belmarsh prison last night. All charges were dropped today . An NHS doctor accused of kidnapping two journalists in Syria is expected to return to practising medicine in Britain after the case against him collapsed yesterday. Shajul Islam was alleged to have been a ‘key figure’ in the militant group that abducted British photographer John Cantlie and his Dutch colleague Jeroen Oerlemans. The pair were held at gunpoint, shackled and blindfolded, and told to prepare to ‘meet their maker’ after straying into a terror camp while covering the civil war in Syria last year. Islam and his alleged accomplice, fellow British resident Jubayer Chowdhury, walked free after prosecutors said the victims were unable to give evidence. The doctor’s brother, Najul Islam, who was accused of helping to bankroll the operation and supplying equipment, was also formally cleared. Islam, 27, from Stratford in East London, was given an interim suspension by the General Medical Council after being charged last year. But the suspension could be dropped after his acquittal and his friends say that if it is, they expect him to return to medicine as soon as possible. Islam had always denied involvement in the kidnapping and said he travelled to Syria on a humanitarian mission soon after completing his training at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London. Prosecutors had claimed at a previous hearing that he joined a camp of jihadists, including 15 British nationals, and became a ‘key figure’ because, as a doctor, he was ‘much respected’. The journalists were taken hostage in July last year because the jihadists believed they were spies when they entered the camp to try to interview rebel fighters, the earlier hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court was told. Allegation: John Cantlie, a British photojournalist, who was held captive by Islamic extremists in Syria for nine days before the Free Syrian Army stormed the camp and freed him and Dutch photographer Jeroen Oerlemans . Mr Cantlie and Mr Oerlemans feared . they would be executed and tried to escape, but were shot at and . injured, the hearing was told. They were released after nine days when the Free Syria Army stormed the camp near the border with Turkey. Denial: Henry Blaxland QC said Mr Islam played no part in any acts of terrorism or false imprisonment . Islam was arrested at Heathrow last October after he arrived on a flight from Egypt with his wife and one-year-old daughter. He and Chowdhury, 25, had both denied unlawful imprisonment under terror laws. Islam’s brother Najul, 32, had denied engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts. The . three men had been expected to stand trial at Kingston Crown Court in . Surrey yesterday, but at the start of the hearing, prosecutor Mark . Dennis QC said: ‘The two victims in the case are the two prosecution . witnesses on which the case rested wholly on their evidence. ‘The prosecution are unable to call either victim for the purposes of the trial listed.’ Mr . Dennis added: ‘We notified the defence on Friday evening that the . prosecution will be offering no evidence when the case was listed.’ He then told the court: ‘I formally offer no evidence.’ He gave no reasons why the victims were unable to give evidence. Judge Nicholas Price QC said: ‘I understand, and I formally record verdicts of not guilty for each of the three defendants.’ Henry . Blaxland QC, for Islam, told the court his client ‘played no part in . any kidnappings and is relieved that this case has come to an end and he . has been cleared’. Last week MI5 head Andrew Parker told a parliamentary committee the threat of ‘terror tourism’ to Syria was growing. He . warned: ‘We’ve seen low hundreds of people from this country go to . Syria for periods and come back – some large numbers are still there – . and get involved in fighting. It is a very important strand of the . threat we face.’ | Shajul Islam was due to stand trial alongside co-accused Jubair Chowdhury and his brother Najul Islam at Kingston Crown Court but walked free today .

(CNN) -- Eight people were injured in an explosion at a naval weapons station's boathouse in New Jersey Tuesday morning, the U.S. Navy said. The blast at Naval Weapons Station Earle happened at about 9 a.m. while personnel were performing maintenance on a vessel, the Navy said in a news release. Seven sailors and a Department of Defense civilian firefighter were injured. Though all eight were taken to hospitals, none had life-threatening injuries. By Tuesday night, the Navy said seven of the eight had been treated and released after suffering minor injuries, mostly from smoke inhalation. One sailor remained hospitalized and underwent surgery for a broken arm, the Navy said. "The situation is stabilized. We are investigating the accident," Navy spokesman Mike Brady said. Information on what exploded wasn't immediately available. Authorities are investigating what caused the blast, the Navy said. The workers' names were not immediately released. "The damage from the explosion was contained within the boathouse area," the Navy's release said. Naval Weapons Station Earle, which supplies ordnance to the Navy's Atlantic fleet carrier and other groups, is south of Middletown, New Jersey.

(CNN) -- It's like a scene out of "The Terminator." Rows upon rows of giant robot arms weave in and out of a tightly packed assembly line of unpainted car skeletons. There are no humans in sight -- just huge machines working in jerks and spasms, but quickly, each massive arm doing something different. Some spew sparks and fire, some brush, some drill. Others wipe or probe with their strangely shaped tips. From a second floor glass bridge inside Toyota's Motomachi plant, our tour group stares down at production lines on either side of us, noses pressed to the glass. "Ninety-six percent of the production process is completed by robots," says our guide, who may or may not be a robot herself, if her monotone delivery is a hint. "Thirty workers take care of the robots. They have an average life of 10 to 12 years." The robots, that is. This giant factory full of giant robots produces cars for the world's best selling automaker -- Toyota sold 9.98 million vehicles in 2013. "We need to talk about your TPS reports." Studied at universities and schools around the world, the Toyota Production System is considered by many to be the most well-run and efficient self-correcting production system in the world . Although Toyota has been remarkably transparent about its renowned system -- opening its plants to anyone who wants to observe or study them -- emulators (automotive and beyond) have struggled to match its remarkable success. "Many companies have focused on tangible 'artifacts' of the Toyota approach," says Steven Spear, senior lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management and co-author of the Harvard Business Review article "Decoding the DNA of the Toyota Production System." "Very few have recognized and incorporated the high speed learning dynamic that is essential. The differential results between the tool-oriented imitators and the behavior-oriented emulators are profound." The company itself officially explains its system this way: "The practical expression of Toyota's people and customer-oriented philosophy is known as the Toyota Production System (TPS). This is not a rigid company-imposed procedure but a set of principles that have been proven in day-to-day practice over many years." Future on display . Located two train rides and a short cab trip from Nagoya, the tour begins at the Toyota Kaikan Museum, a bland-looking building at the automaker's headquarters. While 50% of the company's 69,000 employees are located in this area, between the train station and Toyota's headquarters there's hardly anyone in sight. The building's exterior looks pure, corporate generic. Inside its glass doors, however, things get futuristic. Hologram engine displays, alien-like vehicles and Formula 1-winning cars glisten on the floor. Fascinating as they all are, one exhibit demands my attention -- a slender, blue and white robot that starts playing the trumpet. I'd heard about this robot, with its piston-powered lungs and rubber lips; I wasn't prepared for how stirring its music would be. The notes are tender, the vibrato, achingly human. If I were a musician, I think, I'd be worried about the future of my profession. Alongside the trumpet-playing robot is a scaled-down replica of the Toyota Production System, a safety simulator that works like an arcade game and a new Lexus bike. Auto pilgrims . After the museum, it's time for the Motomachi plant tour, located 15 minutes away. We're taken there, of course, on a Toyota bus. All phones and cameras are left behind in lockers. No pictures allowed. The tour is well off Japan's mainstream tourist path -- most visitors have to travel several hours out of their way to get here. There are nine people in my English-language tour group -- a mix of nationalities. All are rapt with attention throughout the tour. Henk van Brummelen, a traveler from Holland, arrived on the train from Tokyo the same morning. He tells me he once ran a chocolate factory in Holland that adopted the Toyota Production System; he's always wanted to check out the production line in person. "It's so amazing to see how calm and easygoing the atmosphere is in spite of the incredible quality control," he says. Three Australian engineers who are backpacking through Japan say the Toyota stop is a priority of their trip. During the bus ride, our guide tells us a quirky fact about Toyota's name. Although the founding family's name was Toyoda, the name of the company was switched to Toyota as the latter requires eight strokes to write in Japanese, and eight is considered a lucky number. Mama . The welding factory is the site of the Terminator-like scene of robotic arms working as fire and sparks shoot over car frames. This plant produces 70,000 cars per year, or approximately 400 per day. That breaks down to a vehicle being completed every 135 seconds. More than 30,000 parts go into each car, and the plant houses 760 robots. After the welding plant, many more human workers fill the assembly line. We walk through a series of bridges above the workers, who glance up occasionally and smile at us while working on car guts. Constant "ding dong" sounds chime in the background, making us feel like we're in a giant video game arcade. These sounds are actually part of a "Just in Time" pull system. They signal that something has gone wrong or a problem has been detected and a worker has called for a supervisor. Yet the lines keep moving quickly. Another geeky fact shared by our guide: Toyota invented a "doorless system," meaning they take the doors off the cars so that workers can get in and out of the car more quickly to assemble parts. The doors are re-attached later in the assembly line. At the end of the tour, we play a series of timed games meant to demonstrate the remarkable skills required of Toyota's plant workers. One involves looping ropes on pegs, and screwing and unscrewing bolts. Another feels like a less-colorful version of Hungry Hungry Hippos. The entire tour takes two and half hours. When it's time to head back to the museum and visit the gift shop, I find a large display featuring boxes of car-themed curry, of all things. I buy one, of course -- at least under factory conditions, everything Toyota produces looks incredible. Touring Toyota .

By . Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor . Middle class families are being prices out of buying their own home, Vince Cable has warned. The Business Secretary sounded the alarm on the housing bubble, warning homes were now ‘unaffordable’ for many. Mr Cable insisted the only way to solve the problem was to ‘build many more houses’. Business Secretary Vince Cable warned buying a home was now unaffordable for people on middle incomes . House prices are soaring by up to 18 per cent across the country, according to Nationwide. Britain’s biggest building society said property values have now been rising for 15 straight months, the longest run since the credit crunch began in 2007. Manchester was the fastest riser last year - up 18 per cent, compared with 17 per cent for London. Parts of the capital, such as Lambeth and Brent, saw extraordinary growth of 30 per cent. Prices went up 14 per cent last year in Brighton and Cambridge and 13 per cent in Oxford and Carlisle. Mr Cable told The Independent: ‘The fundamental problem is a chronic imbalance between supply and demand. A recovering mortgage market is just fuelling demand again. ‘A family on average income is nowhere near able to afford a house at the average price. Property has become much more unaffordable for people on middle incomes.' In the mid-1990s the average home cost around three times average earnings. The figure peaked at more than six times before the 2007 crash, before slumping. But it has now crept back up to 5.5 times average incomes, Mr Cable warned. Earlier this week Tory housing minister Kris Hopkins said it is a ‘good thing’ that property prices are rising. ‘I bought a house and I expect the value to rise, and I'm sure you did as well,’ he told Jeremy Paxman on BBC2’s Newsnight. Chancellor George Osborne insisted he was being 'vigilant' of the problems in the housing market . But Mr Cable insisted: ‘I do not agree with Kris Hopkins that rising house prices are a good thing. If you are an owner-occupier who has paid off your mortgage, it is an increase in your paper or real wealth. ‘But if you are a young family trying to get into the housing market and it is unaffordable, it is an extremely bad thing. ‘The number of council houses actually fell under Labour. But more needs to be done. We must build many more houses - that and only that is the solution to our housing problem.’ Chancellor George Osborne yesterday spoke of the need to be ‘vigilant’ about increases in housing prices. But he insisted that fears of a bubble should not get in the way of giving older people more flexibility on how they deal with their pensions. Challenged over warnings of a house price bubble, Mr Osborne told the Treasury select committee: ‘I say we have to be vigilant. I think we have to keep a close eye. ‘There is of course a regional variation in this. I think you should at least draw a distinction between some of the phenomena in central London, which is caused by international money and the like coming into central London as a form of investment, and what you see in most of the places represented by members of this committee. That's just a feature of our housing market. ‘Ultimately, I want to live in a country where people who have the aspiration and who can afford to buy their own home are able to do so, and that means that we need to build homes for them.’ | Business Secretary warns of 'imbalance between supply and demand'

Hospital drama: One surgeon received a warning for throwing a scalpel across an operating theatre (File photo) Some of Britain’s worst doctors have been allowed to carry on practising despite making fatal medical errors and engaging in criminal behaviour, The Mail on Sunday can reveal. In spite of such failings as overlooking cancer symptoms, botching operations and kerb-crawling, they have been effectively let off with a slap on the wrist. In total, 147 doctors were given formal warnings by the General Medical Council (GMC) in 2013, which is charged with upholding professional standards. Cases included: . In each case, the GMC chose to issue a warning rather than impose a tougher penalty. Last year, 55 other doctors were struck off – 1.6 per cent of the 3,348 formally investigated. A further 86 were suspended, out of the total of 233,000 doctors who are licensed to practise. The identities of the doctors warned last year can be made public thanks to a Freedom of Information request by this newspaper. Warnings are published on the GMC register, which lists doctors by name and registration number, but using this to find out who has been warned and when would take a very long time. Last night, campaigners accused the GMC of ‘going soft’. Katherine Murphy, the chief executive of the Patients Association, said: ‘The GMC is there to protect patients. It must never compromise their safety by failing to deal with serious breaches of professional duty and trust in an appropriate manner.’ One of those who received a warning for missing a cancer case was Stockport gastroenterologist Navneet Ahluwalia, who was asked to examine a female patient with ‘significant abdominal symptoms’. The GMC stated: ‘Despite test results that indicated the need for further investigation, Dr Ahluwalia wrote to the patient’s GP stating “we are not dealing with cancer” and that the results were ‘‘normal’’. This was incorrect.’ The patient was eventually diagnosed with bowel cancer ‘after a significant delay which could have affected her prognosis’. The GMC did not say whether the patient lived or died. Bolton GP Dr Anton Kiss was warned for indecently exposing himself to two women at a Christmas party and smoking cannabis. Dermatologist Dr Hari Narayana received a warning after trying to pick up a prostitute in the street. And surgeon Munir Abdullah Ali was warned after throwing a scalpel in an operating theatre at Royal Oldham Hospital in Greater Manchester. Dr Stephen Grant failed to refer a patient with an unexpected trunk pain . GMC chief executive Niall Dickson denied a warning was a ‘let-off’ for a doctor. He said: ‘We take very seriously our duty to hold doctors to account if a patient in their care is harmed, or other serious concerns are raised about them. These cases are often complex, involving a range of issues. ‘We investigate thoroughly before coming to a decision. Warnings sit on the doctor’s record for five years and are publicly visible on our website.’ | Doctors have missed cancer symptoms, botched operations and kerb crawled .

By . Becky Evans . and Pa Reporter . Cocaine worth £100million has been seized by Royal Navy sailors off the coast of Puerto Rico. Sailors from HMS Lancaster seized 680kg of pure cocaine, made of 22 bales, after boarding a speedboat near the Caribbean island. The Ministry of Defence said the 30ft speedboat, which was hidden by a tarpaulin, had been spotted by a U.S. Customs and Border Agency aircraft, prompting the bust. A Royal Navy gunner on board HMS Lancaster using a machine gun to destroy a speed boat where sailors seized cocaine worth £100million off the coast of Puerto Rico . The boat, which was carrying three people, was destroyed so it cannot be used in further drug smuggling . A lynx helicopter and high-speed pursuit boat were launched from the Portsmouth-based HMS Lancaster to intercept the vessel. Three suspected smugglers threw the drugs overboard, but they were recovered by divers. A total of 22 bales of pure cocaine were . seized along with the three men. They, and the drugs, were handed over . to the Coast Guard cutter Sapelo and then authorities in Puerto Rico. The empty drugs boat was then sunk . by Royal Navy gunfire - in line with standard procedure - to prevent . its use in future smuggling operations. The Type 23 frigate's commanding . officer, Commander Steve Moorhouse, said it was the third success in as . many weeks for the ship, which is working with US authorities as part of . a joint effort to fight drug smuggling in the Caribbean. Armed Royal Navy personnel can be seen pointing guns at the three men after they intercepted the speedboat . A sailor carries two of 22 cocaine bales recovered from the ocean after being thrown overboard by the suspects . 'This . is a great result, not only for Lancaster but also everyone involved in . the multinational effort to stem the flow of drugs in the region,' he . said. 'My ship's company can . be incredibly proud of what they have achieved, their professionalism . and teamwork continue to shine, and our close relationship with our . partner nations and law enforcement agencies is proving to be hugely . successful.' He said in the past three weeks his crew have seized marijuana worth £700,000 and large quantities of heroin and cocaine. Defence Secretary Philip Hammond praised the crew's work today, saying: 'This extraordinary quantity of drugs has been stopped from reaching the streets by the swift actions of the Royal Navy, working closely with the U.S. Coastguard.

Over the past year the U.S. Coast Guard has seized 45,195lb of cocaine and 8,500lb of marijuana during 22 law enforcement interceptions. As well as counter-narcotic operations with the U.S., HMS Lancaster is carrying out other tasks across the Caribbean to support British interests, including providing reassurance and security for British Overseas Territories and the provision of humanitarian aid and disaster relief during the core hurricane season. | Sailors from HMS Lancaster seized 680kg of pure cocaine .

By . Lucy Laing . Walking down the aisle without her brother in the church was never going to be easy for Claire Holmes. Russell was just 26 when he was killed by a brain haemorrhage four years ago, and the family is still grieving. But among the congregation, one teenaged girl went some way to filling the gap in the family. Abi Richardson, 18, was facing death in . 2008 - until Russell's family made . the painful decision to donate his organs. Moving: Claire Holmes (right) invited 18-year-old Abi Richardson (left) to be a bridesmaid at her wedding. Abi was given a second chance at life when she received a liver donation from Claire's brother Russell in 2008 . Delighted: Abi (centre) with her mother Sarah Richardson (left) and Russell's mother, Pauline (right) With a second chance at life, she struck up an unusual and touching relationship with the family of her life-saver. And four years later, she was the first person Claire asked to be a bridesmaid at her wedding. It was poignant moment for Russell's mother, Pauline, to see Abi and Claire together - but one that brought her great comfort. Mrs Holmes, 60, who lives in Southampton, said: ‘It was a lovely wedding day. We all missed Russell so much, but having Abi there as bridesmaid, it was almost as though he was here with us, which made me feel better.’ Their remarkable friendship began in 2009, 12 months after Abi had anonymously received Russell’s liver for her lifesaving transplant. Tragic: Russell Holmes was 26 when he died of a brain haemorrhage carrying furniture in 2008 . Although her son did not have a donor card, Mrs Holmes decided to give Russell's organs up for transplant after his death in October 2008. Russell, 26, had been helping some friends move furniture when he collapsed and was rushed to Southampton General Hospital. Mrs Holmes, who works for an administrator for a yacht broker, said: ‘It was devastating. When we arrived at the hospital the doctors told us that he’d suffered this massive brain haemorrhage and there was nothing that could be done for him. ‘I couldn’t take it in. I thought he must be talking about someone else. Russell was only 26 years old, and he had his whole life ahead of him. ‘Now he was lying in a hospital bed with only a machine keeping him alive.’ The doctors asked Mrs Holmes and her ex-husband Trevor, whether they would agree to Russell’s organs being donated for transplant. She said: ‘It was a lot to take in. But then I thought of a friend’s daughter who needed a heart and lung transplant. Russell didn’t have a donor card, but we knew that he would want to help others. We couldn’t waste his life, so we agreed.’ His liver and kidneys were used for donation. Part of his liver went to Abi, another part of it went to another man, one of his kidneys went to a man and another kidney went to a woman. Mrs Holmes said: ‘I didn’t know any of the recipients, but I bought them each a good luck card and asked the hospital to pass them on. I didn’t expect to hear back from any of them. I just hoped that he had managed to help save another four lives.’ Then three months later, she received a letter through the post from Miss Richardson. Mrs Holmes said: ‘It was a lovely letter. She said she was sorry for the loss of my son, but that thanks to him she had another chance at life. She also said that she would like to meet me. Her mum Sarah also wrote to me explaining that Abi had been born with chronic liver disease and had been waiting two years for a transplant. ‘My heart filled with joy. Of course I’d rather still have my son with me, but it felt wonderful knowing that this young girl had a chance at a future because of Russell.’ More letters were sent between them and then a few weeks later, Abi’s mother telephoned Mrs Holmes, and they agreed to meet up in December 2009 at a hotel in Lyme Regis. Transplant: Abi was born with liver disease and faced death aged 13 sitting on a stagnant transplant list . Friendship: She sent a letter, aged 13, to grieving mother Pauline to thank her for a second chance at life . Mrs Holmes said: ‘I didn’t know how I was going to react when I met Abi for the first time, but when I saw her I was so glad that we had agreed to meet. ‘She was beautiful and had blue eyes, just like Russell. I had been worried that I’d find it unsettling, but instead I found it comforting. ‘Abi put her arms around me and thanked me for everything we had done and we all started to cry. It was so emotional. Even though we were strangers, there was this bond between us.’ Since then, their relationship has gone from strength to strength. They speak on the phone every few days - and in May, Abi was asked to be Claire’s bridesmaid. Mrs Holmes said: ‘I’ve come to love Abi as a daughter, so it felt so right having her as Claire’s bridesmaid on her wedding day. She stayed at our house the night before the wedding, and it all felt so right. Like family: Pauline said having Abi there was like having Russell there in spirit at Claire's wedding day this year . ‘It was wonderful to see her standing next to Claire, in her beautiful turquoise dress. ‘Abi’s parents have also asked me to be godmother to their youngest daughter Lily Mai, which is a huge honour. ‘I can’t have my son back but he has given priceless gifts. Abi has gone from a terribly ill girl to a young woman who celebrated her 18th birthday in October. ‘Losing Russell was the hardest thing in the world and I will never get over it, but knowing that my son has given other people a second chance at life makes it that little bit easier. More than 10,000 people in the UK currently need a transplant. Of these, 1000 each year - that’s three people each day - will die.

By . Ruth Styles . PUBLISHED: . 11:39 EST, 15 February 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 11:39 EST, 15 February 2013 . If you thought the perfect holiday meant relaxing by the pool with a handsome man and the latest Hilary Mantel blockbuster, then think again. While the gorgeous likes of David Gandy are invited, high brow Mantel is not, researchers have found. Instead, the perfect holiday read is Fifty Shades of Grey, ideally perused during an 11 day trip in a sunny location five hours flight from the UK. Holiday heaven: The perfect break would include plenty of time on the beach and the chance to get a golden tan . Well read: The ideal holiday would also involve a copy of 50 Shades of Grey, as well as a hunky Christian Grey type like David Gandy in tow . The dream location also includes a 20 mile private transfer from the airport and direct access to the beach from the accommodation which boasts a private pool. But the ideal jaunt won't come cheap - with the average adult expecting to pay around £2,500 per head for the pleasure. Researchers polled 2,000 adults to uncover the elements that made up an indulgent annual break. Ordering room service, upgrading to first class and paying for a sunbed instead of lying on the sand were also declared elements of a perfect holiday. Two thirds of those polled said peace and quiet was the most important aspect of a dream break away. Sorry Easyjet! Budget travel doesn't feature on anyone's holiday wishlist . Sunshine, camera...pose! Striking a pose poolside also proved popular as did hiring a private butler . The Azores . A picturesque group of nine volcanic islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, the Azores boast an average summer temperature of 25C, which can be enjoyed on one of the scores of golden sandy beaches. Flying time: 3h . Santorini, Greece . One of Greece's most unspoilt islands, Santorini is the most southerly member of the Cyclades island chain and benefits from year round sunshine, crystal clear water and spectacular white sand beaches. The Perivolas hotel, a luxury hotel that used to be a cave, should fit the bill for romantics. Flying time: 5h, 30 mins . Marrakesh, Morocco . Not only is the Moroccan city wonderfully warm all year round, it's the perfect spot for a little retail therapy. Its bustling souks are home to thousands of bargains, while the adventurous can take a day trip to the stunning Atlas Mountains. The all-inclusive Club Med La Palmerie is good value. Flying time: 3hr, 30 mins . Siwa Oasis, Egypt . On the edge of the 'Great Sand Sea' (the Sahara desert), Siwa is a beautiful spot complete with natural springs for bathing in and forests of date palm trees. Stay at Adrère Amellal - a boutique bolthole luxurious enough to satisfy even the fussiest of travellers. Flying time: 4hrs, 45 mins . Bodrum, Turkey . Currently one of coolest destinations in the world, Bodrum is a great alternative to the busy Canaries. Blessed with stunning scenery and fabulous beaches, the Turkish resort is popular with the glitterati, including Jade Jagger. Try the exclusive Sandima 37 Suites for laid back luxe. Flying time: 3hr, 30 mins . Roy Collett, founder of Colletts Travel, which commissioned the survey, said: . 'The perfect holiday has a few must-have elements - guaranteed sunshine and peace and quiet seem high on the list. 'When we are used to such cold and miserable weather here it is understandable how we long for sun and a bit of luxury. 'We work very long hours so rest and relaxation combined with a touch of sight-seeing and shopping is the perfect way to spend a holiday." The study also revealed the formula for a perfect break also includes the holiday being taken in July with the location being drenched in sunshine for nine hours a day. Perhaps unsurprisingly, eight out of ten Brits would want to go abroad for their perfect holiday, and flying first class would be a must. Ideally, once settled into the accommodation, the average holidaymaker would then love to spend at least three of the 11 days lounging by the pool. A further three days would be spent on the beach, soaking up the sun and occasionally participating in water-sports or swimming in the sea. Another day would be spent sightseeing and experiencing the local culture and tourist destinations. And a couple of days would be dedicated to shopping in the local markets and shopping malls. Travellers surveyed also said that they would need spending money of at least £834 and would particularly enjoy having a private butler at their beck and call. Other popular holiday extras include having a meal on the beach, a daily massage and regular sunrise yoga classes. Collett added: 'Flying first class really does seem the ultimate in luxury travel according to this poll. 'Many people may only dream of upgrading their flights but other things that people would want from a holiday are perfectly achievable. 'Depending on what country you are visiting, things like room upgrades, spa services and private transfers can be relatively affordable. 'Travelling further afield has become easier in recent years and visiting destinations like South America, Costa Rica, Cambodia and Vietnam are becoming much more popular with Brits.'

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama is calling for the immediate release of three American hikers seized by Iranian forces along the Iraqi border who will have been in custody for exactly a year on Saturday. "Their unjust detention has nothing to do with the issues that continue to divide the United States and the international community from the Iranian government," Obama said in a statement Friday. "This is a humanitarian imperative, as these three young people are innocent of any crime." The three Americans -- Sarah Shourd, Shane Bauer, and Josh Fattal -- were detained after they allegedly strayed across an unmarked border while hiking in Iraq's Kurdistan region. The Nation magazine reported last month that two witnesses have said they saw members of Iran's national police force cross into Iraq to apprehend the three. Tehran has claimed the three hikers are spies. Iran's intelligence minister has hinted the country may consider releasing them in exchange for the release of Iranian prisoners, according to state media. "I want to be perfectly clear: Sarah, Shane and Josh have never worked for the United States government," Obama said. "They are simply open-minded and adventurous young people who represent the best of America, and of the human spirit. They are teachers, artists, and advocates for social and environmental justice. They have never had any quarrel with the government of Iran, and have great respect for the Iranian people." The president said he spoke with the hikers' mothers this week and noted that the Iranian government allowed the women to visit their children earlier this year. But "I cannot imagine how painful it was for these three courageous women to return home without their children. I told these three mothers that Sarah, Shane and Josh are in my thoughts and prayers, and that the U.S. government would continue to do all that it could to secure their release." Meanwhile, the mothers continue to grow increasingly angry and exasperated as they press the Iranian government to free their children. "This is unbelievable to us at this point," Nora Shourd told CNN's American Morning earlier Friday. "I mean, it is outrageous that they are still there." Shourd, the mother of hiker Sarah Shourd, said at first they thought the ordeal would be "over fairly quickly." She said it has gone on "long enough." Obama also recently spoke with the wife of Robert Levinson, a former FBI agent who went missing in Iran over three years ago. "We continue to have no information about his welfare, and reiterate our call for the government of Iran to provide any information that it has about his whereabouts," the president said. "It is time to facilitate Robert Levinson's return to the family and friends who have suffered so greatly in his absence." | Three American hikers have been in Iranian custody for a year on Saturday .

By . Emma Lowe . PUBLISHED: . 17:49 EST, 13 September 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 18:35 EST, 13 September 2013 . Back in the Seventies, he had one of the most recognisable faces on the planet. Nowadays few would give this bearded man a second glance. Paul Michael Glaser – who was one half of detective duo Starsky and Hutch – strolled into rehearsals in Southampton this week virtually unnoticed. Sex symbol: Paul Michael Glaser as David Starsky in 1976, left; and right as he appeared yesterday as he arrived at rehearsals in Southampton for a touring production of the musical Fiddler On The Roof . Now 70, he is in Britain preparing for his latest role in a touring production of the musical Fiddler on the Roof. Forty years ago the American was a global sex symbol playing Starsky opposite David Soul as Hutch. These days his once curly black hair is grey, he has grown a beard and he is somewhat stockier. When pictured he was wearing a poor-fitting blue T-shirt, cargo shorts and ankle-high socks with trainers. In Fiddler on the Roof, he plays the role of Tevye. The production, directed by Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood, is touring 21 regional venues. However despite ‘enjoying’ working with Strictly’s Mr Nasty, the actor said he had no desire to take part in the come dancing competition. In a recent interview he said: ‘I love any challenge, but I’ve never been a fan of reality shows. I don’t think it’s something I’d enjoy. ‘In the beginning, I found celebrity to be fascinating. ‘I suppose some of me was frightened by it, but the larger part of me really wanted to be a celebrity. ‘When I got there, I couldn’t believe that had been something I’d wanted.' Starsky and Hutch: David Soul, left, played the intellectual Kenneth 'Hutch' Hutchinson and Glaser appeared as the streetwise David Starsky in the iconic Seventies cop series set in California . Speaking about his Starsky and Hutch days Mr Glaser described how women threw themselves at him when he played the detective heart throb. He said: ‘I guess they did, but you know what that’s all about — fame. ‘We all crave a real, intimate relationship and then there’s the candy and that was all candy. ‘Me, I prefer fruit — it’s better for you, although candy can occasionally be quite good. ‘But I don’t think I was prepared for that level of fame, and when I got it, I didn’t like it at all. But that’s part of the package and now I’m OK with it.’ The sitcom veteran returned to the big screen in 2003 in romantic comedy Something’s Gotta Give. He also had a brief cameo in the 2004 spoof film version of Starsky & Hutch, starring Ben Stiller. Fiddler on the Roof is a musical with music by Jerry Bock and book by Joseph Stein, set in Tsarist Russia in 1905. It is based on Tevye, the village milkman, who has always stuck by his traditions when suddenly his headstrong daughters decide they don’t want to have arranged marriages. | Glaser played streetwise California cop David Starsky in the iconic series .

Queen Victoria's relationship with her devoted ghillie John Brown 150 years ago set tongues wagging from the grand hallways of Buckingham Palace to the servants’ quarters at Balmoral. But while rumours that the pair were lovers endure to this day, a top historian has now claimed that they never had sex. The monarch's biographer, AN Wilson, believes that the couple 'hugged one another and slept together' but that the relationship was never consummated. Man and wife: Queen Victoria and her servant John Brown, pictured together, were married but never consummated their relationship, her biographer, AN Wilson, claimed in a new BBC programme . He said: 'I don't believe Queen Victoria had full sexual relations with Brown. I do believe they had a little marriage ceremony at Crathie Kirk, which the minister confessed to on his deathbed.' The historian made the statement in the first installment of Queen Victoria's Letters: A Monarch Unveiled, a two-part series he is presenting on BBC Four. John Brown, who was seven years Victoria's junior, is best remembered today thanks to the acclaimed 1997 film Mrs Brown, starring Dame Judi Dench and Billy Connolly. The strapping 6ft ghillie was brought south from his post at Balmoral to become Victoria's personal groom at Osborne - her house on the Isle of Wight - following her husband's death. On film: The couple portrayed by Judi Dench and Billy Connolly in acclaimed 1997 movie Mrs Brown . Her courtiers were pleased at first that Brown was able to coax her out of her misery but they soon became concerned that she had fallen utterly under his spell. Brown immediately adopted a bullying and familiar manner with her that astonished courtiers and caused the Queen’s daughters to refer to him as ‘Mama’s lover’. He became increasingly high-handed, and soon the rest of the royal household came to loathe him. Other servants snidely dubbed Brown ‘the Queen’s stallion'. Brown encouraged her to drink whisky with him. Begg’s Best was their preferred tipple. She was soon referring to the hirsute Highlander as ‘fascinating Johnny Brown’. A shocked Foreign Secretary, the Earl of Derby, recorded that they slept in adjoining rooms ‘contrary to etiquette and even decency’. The first anti-Brown propaganda, claiming that he was the Queen’s ‘morganatic husband’ (married but with the stipulation that he would have no claim on any title), appeared in pamphlets circulated by the Scottish socialist republican nationalist Alexander Robertson. Victoria began to address Brown as ‘Darling’ in her letters to him, and it was some claimed that during a trip to Loch Ordie, ‘Hochmagandy’ — the old Scottish word for sexual intercourse — had taken place. There are those who believe that the pair went on to have a child together, but suggestions that a child was born nine months later in Switzerland are untenable. Edgar Boehm, the sculptor, who spent several months at Balmoral sculpting a head of John Brown for Victoria and observed them both at close quarters, later told Catherine Walters (one of Edward VII’s mistresses) that Victoria allowed Brown ‘every conjugal privilege’. Further evidence may have existed in the affectionate memoir Victoria wrote about John Brown after his death in 1883. But her senior courtiers refused to let her publish it, fearing that it would further damage her reputation, and had it destroyed, together with Brown’s own diaries. But there are those who disagree with the claim that the pair shared a romantic relationship. Intimate: Victoria began to addressed Brown, above, as ‘Darling’ in her letters, and it was some claimed that during a trip to Loch Ordie, ‘Hochmagandy’ — the old Scottish word for sexual intercourse — had taken place . Close: The strapping ghillie was brought south from Balmoral to become Victoria's personal groom at Osborne, her house on the Isle of Wight, following her husband's death. Above, a painting of the pair . Irish author J.H. Brennan claimed in her book that the reason Queen Victoria kept her strapping servant so close was because he 'channelled the spirit' of her late husband. She argued that the Queen’s senior courtiers went to great lengths to keep the seances she held with Brown secret, fearing news of them would lead to rumours that the Queen had lost her Christian faith, or even her sanity. Another biographer of Queen Victoria, the late Lady Elizabeth Longford, concluded that Victoria and Brown had a platonic relationship. | Queen Victoria's close relationship with John Brown caused controversy .

Should Liverpool have any hope of snatching the Premier League title away from Manchester City, it will require goals, goals, points, and some more goals. Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have answered that call all season – but a surprising set of statistics shows those from the England striker have proven more valuable. Crystal Palace must be beaten at Selhurst Park for Brendan Rodgers' side to maintain their challenge and for that the SAS strikeforce have to be on form. VIDEO Scroll down for Rodgers: I see Suarez and Sturridge as soloists not a pair . Deadly: Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge have scored 50 goals between them in the Premier League . Just two good: The strikeforce, known as the SAS, are among the most lethal in world football . Training day: Suarez and Sturridge prepare for a must-win game at Crystal Palace on Monday night . And it is Sturridge, rather than PFA Player of the Year Suarez, who has done most to get Liverpool to this point. Suarez has scored more Premier League goals this campaign than Sturridge – 30 to 20 – and the Uruguayan also finds the net more frequently – with a goal every 92.8 minutes, compared with 105.5 minutes. But the England star's goals have engineered more points and arrived in more desperate scenarios. Five of his 20 have come when Liverpool were behind in a match, while, quite remarkably, Suarez has managed that only once. Unstoppable: The Uruguayan has been crowned PFA Player of the Year and FWA Player of the Year this season . Strike: Suarez scores his first of four goals against Norwich at Anfield in December . Lofted: Sturridge executes a delightful chip to round off a win over West Brom at Anfield . Further, when you subtract Sturridge’s goals from final scorelines it shows they have accounted for 18 points. For Suarez, that tally is 15 points. So despite playing fewer minutes (2,110 to 2,784), Sturridge has had greater impact in this aspect. Allied to this is Sturridge’s ability to perform against the division’s bigger teams. Clearly, Suarez is no slouch but the average position of teams he has scored against is 14th in the table, while for Sturridge it is 11th. Sturridge has also scored a significantly higher proportion of his goals against Liverpool’s direct rivals with 20 per cent of his total coming against teams in the top six. For Suarez, who failed to score against City, Chelsea, or Arsenal this season, that figure is 16.7 per cent. On terms: Sturridge, pictured scoring at Fulham, has been invaluable to Liverpool with his goals . Opposition: Suarez will face England when he lines up for Uruguay at the World Cup . We need goals: Brendan Rodgers knows his team need a rout or hope City drop points . Suarez is often asked to play deeper that his partner in tight games, perhaps accounting for a drop-off, and even so, he has 12 assists to Sturridge’s seven. Rodgers will not care how the goals come against Palace, he will be well aware Tony Pulis has made his side notoriously hard to break down. Trailing City by a goal difference of nine means that only a rout will give them a chance if City keep winning. These numbers show it may be Sturridge, rather than Suarez, who seizes the initiative. | Luis Suarez's goals have won a total of 15 points for Liverpool so far this season .
This is three less than Daniel Sturridge, who has earned 18 points .

(CNN) -- In a secretly recorded audiotape, the alleged ringleader of an anti-government Michigan militia expresses anger over the "new world order" and the "brotherhood," of law enforcement officers. "In this nation, we think we are free, but you need a certificate to be born, a license to drive, a permit to build, a number to get a job and even a paper after you die," says David Bryan Stone Sr., 45, the alleged head of the Hutaree militia, accused of conspiring to overthrow the government and plotting to kill police officers. "These are permission slips from the terrorists organization called the new world order," Stone says in the tape, which was recorded clandestinely by an FBI agent who infiltrated the militia and obtained exclusively by CNN. Government prosecutors played the recording during an April 2 bond hearing for alleged Hutaree members, arguing that the defendants would be a danger to the community and a flight risk if they were freed on bail before trial. A federal magistrate in Detroit, Michigan, agreed and ordered eight militia suspects to be held in jail pending their trial. Stone, his sons, Joshua, 21, and David Brian Stone Jr., 19; as well as the eldest Stone's wife, Tina Stone, 44, have been charged with seditious conspiracy, attempted use of weapons of mass destruction, teaching the use of explosive materials and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence. Joshua John Clough, 28; Kristopher Sickles, 27; Michael David Meeks, 40; Jacob Ward, 33; and Thomas Piatek, 46, face the same charges. Piatek, of Whiting, Indiana, is being held in Indiana. The eight ordered held in Michigan have pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors said the tape was recorded last winter when Hutaree members were driving to Kentucky for a meeting with other militias but were forced to turn back due to bad weather. Stone allegedly gave a speech inside the van. "People in this nation as well as some around this world are waiting for those individuals like you see sitting in this room to actually make the decision to go to war against this evil, greedy new world order," Stone says on the tape. "They need leaders who are not afraid to stand up and actually mean, 'No more.' We are free and we should not be afraid or ashamed to admit that we are the American militia. We outnumber them. As long as we let them terrorize any American through fear and intimidation, then they are winning this battle and we should step up to the fight that they have started and finish it." Defense attorneys dismissed the tape as just talk -- words protected under freedom of speech. But prosecutors have portrayed the Hutaree militia as a dark-hearted group with evil intent. They said Stone's plan was to create his own country carved out of four Michigan counties, then defend that country against attack by the "One World Order" army. The group allegedly planned to incite that attack by making a false 911 complaint, shooting any police who responded, and then attacking attendees at the funerals of those officers with improvised explosive devices. "Every day, we watch ever so close for those evil blue helmets to appear on our streets -- but as long as through Interpol, law enforcement mercenaries called the brotherhood working for the new world order are doing such a great job, then we don't need to watch for these foreign armies to come to our shores. They are already here," Stone says. Conviction on the charge of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction would carry a maximum penalty of life in prison, while seditious conspiracy and teaching the use of explosive materials each would carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison; the firearm charge would carry a mandatory minimum penalty of at least five years in prison, according to authorities. | Tape recorded last winter when Hutaree members were driving to Kentucky .

Gazing into each other’s eyes, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown sway on the dancefloor as they celebrate their wedding in a haunting video that only serves to highlight just how tragic their union was to become. It is footage that will be both difficult and inspiring for daughter Bobbi Kristina to watch as she admits she is still struggling to . recover from her mother's death in a revealing interview with feted . documentary maker Daphne Barak, who unearthed the video. As Whitney the bride regally embraces a line of children at the ceremony, all dressed in white and playing classical music with small violins, Bobbi, now 20 and married only weeks ago, tells Daphne: ‘She WAS royal. People don’t know that about her…I called her My Royal Woman’. Scroll down for video .

The marriage was to end in 2006 and Whitney was to die after years of drug abuse on February 11, 2012 . Indeed, as they croon to each other at . the lavish wedding on July 18, 1992, Whitney and Bobby - who were very . much considered music's odd couple at the time - look every inch . royalty, with Bobby even teasingly wearing one Whitney’s earrings. The . wedding, held at Whitney’s $10million home in Mendham, New Jersey, was . an excessive affair, attended by a guest list of 800 – a figure Brown . was later to sigh was ‘too much'. Both . the bride and groom wore white, with Whitney’s dress created out of . French lace by Mark Bouwer and costing $40,000, and the wedding party . dressed in shades of purple, the star’s favourite colour. It . is all a far cry from the circumstances of how Whitney’s life would end . on February 11, 2012, after she was found dead in a bathtub at The . Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles, aged just 48. The couple had divorced in 2006 following a fiery and very public marriage. Since . the death of Whitney, one of the world’s biggest singing stars in her . heyday before she spiralled into a desperate addiction to crack cocaine, . Bobbi now has only her memories of her beloved mother to cling on to. Now . living in Atlanta with her husband and De facto step-brother Nick . Gordon, Bobbi makes it clear that both she and Nick considered Whitney their mom, insisting: ‘Our mom was royal.' While Nick, 24, whom Whitney moved into her home about 10 years before her death after learning his mother could no longer care for him, tells Daphne: ‘She was my . mom too!’ Confirming their marriage earlier this . month, Bobbi - who has said Whitney would have wanted their union - . adds: ‘Our mom taught us to be royal. We are different. ‘There . is royalty in our veins. She taught us how to move, how to talk. We . want you to know, that where we come front, WE are royals, because SHE . was royal.’ Lavish: Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown invited 800 guests to their wedding at Whitney's New Jersey estate . Tragic: Whitney Houston and daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown attend Clive Davis' pre-Grammy Awards party at the Beverly Hilton hotel on February 12, 2011. Almost exactly a year to the day later, Whitney would be found dead at the same hotel . Married: Bobbi Kristina Brown and her de-facto step-brother Nick Gordon appear at the premiere of reality show The Houstons: On Our Own in New York in October 2012. They wed earlier this month .

Nick moved in with Bobbi and mom Whitney Houston when he was nine and Bobbi was six . 'In love': Bobbi Kristina Brown and husband Nick Gordon step out in Georgia on January 10. They said their marriage is what Whitney would have wanted . Left with this . memento of one of the happiest days of her parents’ lives, Bobbi . reveals: ‘I was there…she was pregnant with me, but she didn’t know. They found out about me during their honeymoon.’ Speaking about her parents' wedding, Bobbi adds: ‘I love her dress, and the headpiece, the . matching earrings…Mom is beautiful. You see, you picked it up, how royal . she was.’ New film: Documentary maker Daphne Barak chats to Bobbi Kristina Brown at home in Georgia . ‘She used to call . me ‘Stina,’ Bobbi tells Daphne as it becomes clear that time is not helping the grief-stricken daughter: ‘I miss her like hell. She . taught me everything. Now I’m working on my career, but also on myself. ‘I’m working on learning how to be a woman without the woman who taught me to be a woman.’ Referring . to the star she also called ‘Lioness’ because of her Leo birth sign, . Bobbi says the upcoming anniversary of her mother’s death makes her . realise just how much people did not really know Whitney. ‘People did not know her’, she tells Daphne: ‘They write things. But for me, she wasn’t Whitney Houston.' Dedicated . to embarking on a music career like her mother, she says: ‘I am the . only one who can sing her songs like she did. She always said that if . they would make a film about her, only I could play her. ‘She . taught me how to sing Acapella. She taught me that singing Acapella . would make my voice stronger and stronger. She taught me Gospel, she . taught me for 18 years how to be royal, how to be her daughter, a . woman…I am very proud of her.’ On the video, images of the reception filled with candles and . lavender and white orchid arrangements alongside an 18-layer cake flash up . on screen, as A-list guests ranging from Donald Trump . to Whitney’s aunt Dionne Warwick and even P Diddy, can be seen sipping Cristal and . Dom Perignon champagne. Royalty: Bobbi Kristina Brown says her mom Whitney brought her and Nick up to believe they were royal - adding: 'She always said that if they would make a film about her, only I could play her' Heartbroken: Bobbi Kristina Brown says: 'I called my mom my Royal Woman'. She's seen here with her parents in New York in 1994 . Stooping to thank the line of children musicians, Whitney tells them: ‘Thank-you, thank-you for the treat…come, give me a kiss.' As . Daphne asks what Bobbi would want the world to know about Whitney, Bobbi pauses: ‘That she had a heart, you could not . fall in love with her. Even if she cast you off - she so lovable.’ Bobbi is now awaiting the first $1.2million from her the $12million estate her mother left her to claim by the time she’s 30. Sadly, it is patently clear just how much Whitney and Bobby were thrilled to be expecting baby Bobbi. The . couple had met at the Soul Train Music Awards in 1989 and in an interview . on their marriage in Vanity Fair in December 1992, Whitney, then three-months pregnant, prophesised: ‘I think it’s a girl…’ Happy family?

By . Helen Pow . PUBLISHED: . 12:28 EST, 13 February 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 12:28 EST, 13 February 2013 . A 35-year-old married woman from Arizona allegedly posed as a 16-year-old girl on Facebook to con young boys into having sex with her. Jennifer Dempsey is accused of engaging in sex acts with a 14-year-old and 16-year-old in her car at a Phoenix park and at her home between November and January, and police believe she may have many more victims. Phoenix police Sgt Trent Crump said the Dempsey also lied about being pregnant and for the past five years has convinced her family she is dying of cancer when she is perfectly healthy. He said she even attempted to use the fake illness to avoid arrest last week.

'She used her cancer ploy to our detectives to try and stay out of trouble,' Crump told CBS5 News. 'She said this is the reason why she didn't engage in the sexual conduct because she was constantly ill from chemotherapy, all of which we learned in the following days, was not true.' According to Azcentral.com, Dempsey used various names to lure the boys on Facebook. When they came to her home that she shares with her husband, she told the victims the property belonged to her aunt. Crump said Dempsey lied to both teens about being pregnant and even met with one of the boy's parents to discuss the fake pregnancy, which is how her plan was foiled. Cancer hoax: The married woman, pictured left and right in her mug shot, also lied about being pregnant with the teens' children and convinced her family she had cancer for five years . After the meeting, the parents raised concerns about her age with police and also said they'd discovered nude photos of Dempsey on their son's cell phone. Crump said incriminating text messages led to her arrest and a search of her home uncovered further evidence. Dempsey has admitted having sex with the older boy but denies sleeping with the 14-year-old though police said statements she made when questioned corroborated claims she did engage in sex acts with him. To keep the intricate five-year-long cancer hoax alive, Dempsey shaved her head, bought wigs and had a fake chemotherapy port taped to her chest to fool her relatives, Crump said. It is not clear what the motive for the fake illness was. Home: Dempsey had sex with the boys at her Phoenix home, pictured, though she told them it belonged to her aunt . Neighbors told CBS5 they regularly saw the woman with a tube in her chest as she came and went from her condominium complex. 'It was my belief that she was very, very ill,' Carolyn Chavez, the office manager at Dempsey's apartment, told the news channel. 'She wore a tube all the time. We've had other residents with cancer and I thought she fit the profile.' Another neighbor Elizabeth Slipek said: 'It really is shocking.' 'I can't believe somebody would go to great lengths to go to something like that. It's ridiculous, especially as an adult.' Dempsey was arrested on February 7 at her home and booked into jail where she is being held on several counts of sexual conduct with a minor. | Jennifer Dempsey of Phoenix, Arizona, has been accused of engaging in sex acts with a 14-year-old and 16-year-old between November and January .

Basketball superstar LeBron James landed in Rio de Janeiro ahead of the World Cup final on Sunday, and he said the Maracana showdown is bigger than the NBA Finals. Fresh from announcing his decision to leave the Miami Heat and return to his first team the Cleveland Cavaliers, James touched down in Brazil to watch Germany face Argentina. According to ESPN.com, the two-time NBA champion signed a two-year contract with the Cavaliers worth $42.1m (£24.6m). Centre of attention: LeBron James arrived in Rio ahead of the World Cup final on Sunday . Appearance: James spoke in public for the first time since announcing his decision to return to Cleveland . Speaking at a promotional event in Rio, James said; 'This is bigger than the NBA finals in the sense of the world. You have all the players representing their countries. It's the ultimate sport. You have to play as a team. 'The NBA finals is the ultimate for basketball. This is the ultimate for football. I've been watching it from home in the States and it's been an unbelievable tournament.' But James declined to pick a winner between Germany and Argentina after meeting hundreds of fans and watching young Brazilians show off their basketball skills at a warehouse near Guanabara Bay. I'm coming home: James has signed a two-year deal with the Cavaliers worth over $42million . VIDEO 'I'm coming home' - LeBron James returns to Cleveland . Ovation: The baseball scoreboard at Cleveland Indians' Progressive Field welcomes James back . Praise: James singled out Argentina's Lionel Messi as the best player in the world . He said: 'The Germans have a better team overall but Argentina have one of the best, if not the best, player in the world in Messi. We'll see. That is why you play the game.' James announced to Sports Illustrated on Friday that he was returning home to the Cavaliers after four years in Miami. Under the terms of his new contract, James can opt out as a free agent if he wants to next summer. By only signing for two years, James can negotiate another contract with the Cavaliers before the 2016-17 season, when a new television deal is expected to push the maximum salary higher than it currently stands at $20.7m (£12.09m). 'We could not be happier to welcome LeBron James home,' Cavaliers general manager David Griffin said. 'LeBron, through his essay, told us he wasn't going anywhere except Cleveland and that "Cleveland is where he always believed he would finish his career." On the move: James leaves the Miami Heat after four years, during which he won two NBA titles . No comment: James did not confirm whether he would be back in Rio in 2016 to defend USA's Olympic title . VIDEO Miami fans sad to lose LeBron . 'These words and commitment put all of us, including LeBron, in the best position to build our franchise the right way and achieve the kind of goals we all know are possible. Expectations will be at the highest levels but no one should expect immediate and automatic success.' James said: 'It's a really exciting time for myself. I am ready for the challenge.' But one thing James didn't comment on was returning to Rio in 2016 to represent USA in the Olympic basketball tournament.

(CNN) -- The U.N. Security Council signed off Thursday on a 12,600-member peacekeeping force in Mali that will be authorized "to use all necessary means" to protect civilians and cultural artifacts. "We know it's going to be a fairly volatile environment," Herve Ladsous, the U.N. undersecretary for peacekeeping operations, said. The resolution was proposed by France, which deployed about 4,000 troops to Mali in January to drive out Islamist militants who attempted to take control of the country. The peacekeeping force -- known as the U.N. Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali -- will take over July 1 and include some 6,000 troops from Chad and other West African nations already providing security in the country, according to the resolution adopted by the Security Council. "This is not an enforcement mission. This is not an anti-terrorist operation," Ladsous said. Rather, he said, the mission will help Malian authorities restore constitutional order and governance. Elections there are set for July. Islamic extremists with links to al Qaeda carved out a large portion of northern Mali last year, taking advantage of a chaotic situation after a military coup in March 2012. France took military action this year after the militants began to push into the southern portion of the country. The militants banned music, smoking, drinking and watching sports on television, and destroyed historic tombs and shrines in the region. World leaders feared that militants would turn the area into a terrorist haven. The Security Council resolution provides for a peacekeeping force for 12 months.

By . Steve Nolan . PUBLISHED: . 17:54 EST, 6 August 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 06:29 EST, 7 August 2013 . Sentenced: Ayuub Mohammed was sentenced to five years in a young offender's institute for holding up two London hotels . A 15-year-old boy who held staff at two separate London hotels at gunpoint and demanded cash in two armed robberies has been sentenced to five years in a young offender's institute. Ayuub Mohammed threatened receptionists with a handgun at the Arriva Hotel in Bloomsbury and the Howard Winchester Hotel in Argyle Street within the space of just four hours in February. Blackfriars Crown Court heard that Mohammed arrived at the Arriva Hotel on Swinton Street at around 11pm on February 27, pulled a gun from his pocket and demanded cash from the hotel receptionist. He hit a hotel worker with the gun and ordered him to open the hotel safe. The receptionist gave Mohammed a small amount of cash before forcing a hotel guest to hand over £180 in cash and a mobile phone. The court heard that at 3am on February 28th, Mohammed entered the second hotel, the Howard Winchester, and asked a receptionist to search for room availability. He then pulled out the gun and threatened staff, again asking for cash. But he left the hotel empty handed when the receptionist attempted to grab the gun. Following a police investigation, Mohammed was eventually arrested and charged in June.

Rome (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, meeting with allies, kept up pressure on Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi Thursday, demanding that he "cease attacks and the threat of attacks" against rebels who oppose his rule. Gadhafi must withdraw all forces from rebel cities they have entered, restore services to those cities, and allow humanitarian aid in, Clinton insisted. U.S. and NATO bombing of his forces will continue until he meets the terms, she said. "As long as Gadhafi continues to attack his citizens, we will continue to strike his forces," she said. "It is time for the violence to end. It is time for Gadhafi to go. It is time for a democratic transition to begin," she said. The United States is also looking into ways to help the rebels financially, including seizing Gadhafi assets and using them to aid Libya's people, and helping the Transitional National Council to sell oil, Clinton said. Clinton was speaking in Rome, where international powers held their second high-level meeting on the Libyan crisis. The Libyan government, according to state TV, said financing the rebels from frozen assets would be equivalent to theft. Congress is being consulted on the possible use of a portion of the $30 billion in assets, two senior State Department officials said. It was not clear whether any of the money would go directly to the opposition government. European Union High Representative Catherine Ashton said the Rome meeting "underlined the international community's unity and determination to bring the Libyan crisis to a quick and satisfactory conclusion. With the humanitarian situation deteriorating, time is of the essence. Gadhafi must end his attacks against his own people and respect human rights." Also Thursday, the International Organization for Migration said it was suspending its passenger ships between the two rebel towns of Benghazi and Misrata after Gadhafi forces shelled the port in Misrata Wednesday, killing at least five people. IOM media director Jean Philippe Chauzy said operations would be suspended until the organization puts in place a "better evacuation plan." The IOM never again wants to experience what happened on Wednesday, he said. No one was injured on the IOM-chartered boat in Misrata at the time of the shelling, the agency said. Medecins Sans Frontieres, the international medical humanitarian group (known as Doctors Without Borders in English), said a 22-member team is delivering surgical and medical care to the wounded at two hospitals and a clinic. The organization has donated more than 25 tons of medicine and medical equipment, it said in a statement Thursday. Rebels, meanwhile, told CNN that they have taken the southern city of al-Koufra, with Gadhafi forces gone except for a small group on its western edge. The two sides have exchanged control over al-Koufra over the past two months. CNN could not independently verify the claim. Meanwhile, British Foreign Secretary William Hague ordered two Libyan diplomats to leave the country for "actions contrary to the interests of the UK," the Foreign Office announced Thursday. He gave them a week to get out, starting Wednesday, the Foreign Office statement said. The British Ministry of Defence and NATO said Thursday their forces had been engaging Gadhafi's troops over the past several days, destroying ammunition dumps, surface-to-air batteries, and other targets. As for the Rome meeting, Hague said the international community is "resolved to continue to take action" on Libya, and "more countries took part and reiterated that Gadhafi should go." Participants also agreed to help the Transitional National Council with short term financial support with the establishment of the Temporary Financial Mechanism, which was suggested in the first meeting in Doha, Qatar, according to a statement released at the conclusion of the talks. The diplomatic and military moves came soon after the chief prosecutor for the International Criminal Court said in a report there are "reasonable grounds to believe that crimes against humanity have been committed and continue being committed in Libya." The report highlighted the alleged commission of rape by Gadhafi's government, as well as the deportation or forcible transfer of citizens during the civil war that continues to rage in that country. It also noted war crimes, including intentionally directing attacks against civilians not participating in the fighting. ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo issued a statement saying he will soon request arrest warrants against three individuals who are "most responsible for the crimes committed." The individuals were not named. It is not clear if he plans to file charges against anyone on the rebel side, though the report mentioned "alleged war crimes as well as other crimes against humanity" appear to have been committed by "different parties." He warned when he opened the probe two months ago that the rebels are subject to international law just as Gadhafi's forces are. This is the first time the International Criminal Court has begun investigating possible crimes against humanity as they were occurring in wartime, Moreno-Ocampo said. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, on a visit to Bulgaria, said, "I fully support the principle that whoever and whenever there is violation of human rights and international humanitarian law, those people should be accountable and go to justice." NATO began bombing Libya on March 19, after the U.N. Security Council approved a resolution authorizing any means necessary, short of invasion, to protect civilians demanding the end of Gadhafi's nearly 42-year rule. CNN's Elise Labott, Amir Ahmed, Carol Jordan, Mitra Mobasherat and Atika Shubert contributed to this report. | NEW: Libyan government says use of its assets would be theft .

As questions continue to swirl about how to deal with the ever-growing fears of Ebola, relatives of the first person to be diagnosed with the deadly virus in the United States gathered to grieve Saturday. Wiping tears from their eyes, family and friends of Thomas Eric Duncan told CNN affiliate Time Warner Cable News Charlotte he was a "compassionate and respectful young man." As relatives said their final farewells to Duncan, a Liberian national and father of four, at Rowan International Church in Salisbury, North Carolina, they wanted him to be remembered for his acts of kindness, "as opposed to the person who brought this disease to America because he didn't know he was sick," said nephew Josephus Weeks. Duncan, 42, died earlier this month at a hospital in Dallas. His mother and other relatives live in North Carolina. This week, a Central American country closed its borders to anyone who has been anywhere near the disease. And an airline scrambled to inform hundreds passengers that they had been on a plane that carried someone who has since come down with Ebola. When U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry asked the government of Belize to help evacuate a Dallas hospital worker from a cruise ship off its coast on Friday, officials declined to let her on shore. The employee of Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital was a lab supervisor and did not have direct contact with Thomas Eric Duncan, who died there while being treated for Ebola. But she may have had contact with one of his specimens, the U.S. State Department said. A doctor on the Carnival cruise ship has declared her symptom-free and in good health. Still, the lab supervisor and a travel partner have undergone voluntary isolation as a precaution. Belize slaps travel, visa bans . It's been 20 days since she perhaps handled Duncan's fluid samples -- the maximum incubation period for Ebola is 21 days. Meanwhile, on Saturday, a U.S. Coast Guard confirms to CNN a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter flew to the Carnival cruise, lowered a hoist basket, and picked up the lab technician's blood samples. "The samples which are in a container, so the USCG members are not exposed, were then taken by Carnival's on board doctor," said Petty Officer Andy Kendrick, U.S. Coast Guard spokesman. "The test results are expected back, before the Carnival Magic arrives in Galveston tomorrow morning," said Kendrick. "If results aren't ready, health officials will be at the port to make sure the woman is not showing any symptoms, before allowing her to get off the ship." But as sure as it may seem that lab professional is Ebola-free, the State Department wanted to fly her back to the United States -- purely out of caution -- from Belize City's airport. Instead, the cruise ship is hauling her back to Galveston. On top of the no-go, Belize's government has slapped visa and travel bans this week on citizens of affected West African countries and announced more strict measures. "Also, any person of whatever nationality wishing to travel to Belize who has visited any affected area of West Africa within the last 30 days will be prohibited from entering Belize," the government said in a statement on Friday. Cruise ship passengers will be vetted before being allowed to go on land. WHO to review Ebola response amid criticism . Airline worries . Leave no stone unturned is the approach Frontier Airlines is taking, after a passenger came down with Ebola. It is telling up to 800 passengers to contact the CDC. Most of them weren't on flights with Amber Vinson, the second Dallas nurse who contracted Ebola after helping treat Duncan. Vinson flew to Cleveland on October 10 and back to Dallas on October 13. In an effort to further quarantine the deadly virus, the Ohio Department of Health, upped the ante on specific Ebola monitoring requirements on Saturday for those potentially affected by the deadly virus. Ohio health officials Saturday increased the number of people being monitored from 16 to 29. These people were in the vicinity of Vinson or had contact with her. They include people who were in a bridal shop she visited. One of them was a "close contact" and is under quarantine, according to DiOrio. All are healthy. The new measures include daily health monitoring by a local health department official and those being monitored "cannot leave the United States due to the inability to track them down in the event they fail to meet their daily reporting requirements," the statement read. "We're taking an aggressive approach, no doubt about it, but it's just common sense. Some might criticize us for being too aggressive, but we're comfortable taking that criticism," said Dr. Mary DiOrio, state epidemiologist and interim chief of the ODH Bureau of Prevention and Health Promotion in statement. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said she could have had symptoms during that time. The TSA says an officer who patted down Vinson on October 13 in Cleveland has been placed on paid administrative leave "out of an abundance of caution." "A Cleveland Hopkins International Airport Transportation Security Administration Officer who conducted a routine pat-down of a traveler later reported to be infected with Ebola consulted with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention," the TSA said in a statement. "No Cleveland TSA officer came in direct contact with the infected traveler, as all pat downs are completed while employees are wearing disposable medical gloves," the statement continued. The TSA holds firm that the employee is not reporting any symptoms and was instructed by CDC to self-monitor over the next few days, as a precautionary measure. DiOrio told reporters that 87 state residents in the flights were self-monitoring for symptoms of Ebola. The CDC would like people who were on either flight to get in touch with them to answer some questions and potentially undergo monitoring, although it says the risk to anyone was extremely low. But Frontier, as an extra precaution, included anyone who had been on subsequent flights that used the same plane as the one on her return flight. Frontier has also taken that plane out of service. Ohio Gov. John Kasich went so far on Saturday as calling for a travel ban for countries affected by the deadly Ebola outbreak. No Ohio airport currently has direct flights to or from the affected nations in West Africa. "I would say I think it makes sense to have (a) ban in place," he told reporters. "The President of the United States has to make that call. He has to listen to many different people. And I have no doubt in my mind they're considering this now."

The AA revealed that traders have caused three steep rises in the cost of petrol this year alone . Speculators and ‘shady middle men’ are driving up petrol prices, a damning report reveals today. As the scandal of alleged price-fixing by major oil companies deepens, the AA reveals how traders are hitting fuel prices – causing three steep rises this year alone and increasing the cost of filling up a family saloon by £5. Few of the traders’ names – including Glencore, Cargill, Gunvor and Trafigura – are known to consumers outside the oil industry, but their effect on Britain’s 33million motorists and the wider economy is profound. They buy huge quantities of petroleum on the open market and store it until the price goes high enough to make them a handsome profit, at which point they sell. Industry experts say motorists have been fleeced by an average of at least £2,000 each and probably much more over the past decade because of the alleged price-fixing now under investigation. But watchdogs should also ‘shine a bright light’ on the activities of speculators chasing ‘inflated short-term profit’, says the AA. The row comes after European Commission investigators raided the London offices of oil companies Shell and BP on Tuesday as part of a price-fixing investigation. The AA says a major international report highlights how the oil markets in Europe had been hijacked by middle-men whose actions increasingly determine the price paid at the pumps. The respected International Energy Agency says: ‘Increased European reliance on trading houses and third-party suppliers may also leave a growing share of European supply in the hands of market participants with a different set of incentives than those of refiners.’ Tory MP Robert Halfon, who has called for an investigation into alleged cartels and market manipulation in the oil market for the past three years, said there must be a full inquiry. Traders such as Cargill buy huge quantities of petroleum and store it until the price soars and then sells . Traders, like Glencore, are not known to consumers but have a profound effect Britain's 33million motorists . The Daily Mail has chronicled the scandal over several years – highlighting in November 2009 how tankers full of oil were parked off the UK coast waiting until the price went up. Now, says the AA, the middle men, or ‘third party suppliers’, have their own tanks to keep the fuel in storage until the price goes up, making the trade ‘less visible’. AA spokesman Luke Bosdet said consumers needed to be assured that the ‘middle men’ were playing fair by the rules – but there was no way of knowing. He added: ‘The EU and competition watchdogs should shine a bright light on the spivs, shady middle men and speculators driving up prices by operating in the shadows of oil giants like BP and Shell. ‘They are just the tip of the iceberg. There are a lot of companies operating in these markets of whom most British consumers have simply never heard. UK petrol consumption fell to a record low this year and the AA said the 'warning signs couldn't be clearer' 'They include Glencore, Cargill, Gunvor, and Trafigura. 'Their trades in unleaded, diesel and oil . are reported daily in the markets. Their activities have a huge impact . on the prices paid at the pumps. But who are they? 'What exactly do they . do and how do they do it? Consumers have a right to know.’ AA head of public affairs Paul Watters added: ‘The latest swing in petrol prices is the third 8p to 10p-a-litre “price shock” in 12 months, adding up to £5 to the cost of filling a typical fuel tank – from £66 to £71. ‘It is clear that, if petrol and diesel wholesale price movements were transparent, families and businesses would have ten to 14 days’ notice of the next price shock – and hopefully the reason for it.’ UK petrol consumption fell to a record low this year, with 69 per cent of AA members cutting back on car use or spending. ‘The warning signs couldn’t be any clearer,’ the association said. The AA’s own fuel price report said: ‘These investigations are a significant development, perhaps a turning point, in getting to the bottom of what drives the price of fuel on UK forecourts.’ Trafigura’s initial response to calls was ‘no comment’, but when given the full outline of the report, a spokesman said he would seek further clarification.

(CNN) -- The Philippines' first major typhoon of the season has churned across the country, passing close to the sprawling capital Manila on Wednesday and killing at least 38 people. Typhoon Rammasun made landfall near Legazpi City on the country's east coast late Tuesday. The typhoon, known locally as "Glenda," prompted the evacuations of as many as 350,000 people from their homes in towns and cities across the country. Maria Ressa, Editor in Chief of the online news agency Rappler in Manila, said Wednesday morning that conditions in the city were extreme, with howling winds and strong rain. Several roofs had been ripped off by powerful winds. At about midnight Tuesday, the government announced one casualty -- a person killed by an electrical post that was uprooted. 37 other deaths, including a family of three in Lucena city, Quezon province, were announced by the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC). The Council added that there were ten people injured, and eight remained missing. The closest the eye of the storm got to Manila was about 25 km south of the city around 7 a.m. Wednesday (7 p.m Tuesday ET). 84% of the Metro area now has power restored. Concerns about flooding, landslides . Fears over storm surges eased as the typhoon began to move away from the city, weakening from a Category 2 storm to a Category 1, with maximum sustained winds of about 150 kilometers per hour. But concerns remained about the knock-on effects of the rain, including flooding and landslides. Marco Savio of Plan International spoke to CNN from Makati, Manila's business district early Wednesday morning. He said that, at that time, more than an inch of rain was falling per hour in the city, many areas of which are susceptible to flooding. "(The) majority are living in areas prone to floods. Schools are closed, offices and buildings (are) closed." According to a statement from the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the typhoon was expected to affect 43 million people spread across 22 provinces. Around 136,000 households within the affected area are in places highly susceptible to landslides and storm surge. Half of these households, the statement adds, about 342,200 people, are poor. Evacuations have taken place in vulnerable areas on a needs basis. The NDRRMC said that over 7,000 homes were completely destroyed, and almost 20,000 more damaged. Infrastructure also suffered, with 15 roads and four bridges becoming impassable. "A Task Force from the humanitarian community was set up to agree on additional measures to enhance our readiness to respond and remains on standby," UNOCHA Humanitarian Coordinator Luiza Carvalho said. Worst over for landfall city . As the storm passed Legazpi, James Reynolds, a freelance videographer who spent the night in the city, ventured out and saw what he described as a "community effort" to clear the fallen trees and power lines, and repair some of the property damage. "The buildings made of solid concrete are OK, but a lot of buildings, windows have been blown out, doors blown out and some of the lighter structures that people live in haven't fared so well but generally its not as bad as it could have been" he told CNN. The storm significantly intensified just before landfall into a much stronger system. It was expected to be of Category 2 strength but upon hitting land turned into a Category 3 storm, with sustained winds of 205 kilometers per hour. It lost strength as it moved across the island of Luzon. "People in this region have really been on edge since the events of Haiyan," Reynolds said. "The problem with this storm is that it seems to have caught a lot of people off guard." As the typhoon passed, he said that the anticipated storm surge in Legazpi "hadn't been an issue." The storm cut across the main island of the Philippines, hitting numerous population centers across southern and central Luzon. 11 provinces lost power although some were cut off for precautionary measures. The Philippines is hit by an average of eight or nine storms a year. Rammasun is the first to hit since last year's Typhoon Haiyan killed more than 6,250 people, left more than 1,000 missing and caused widespread destruction. Rammasun heads towards China . As the storm continues on past the Philippines, conditions over the South China Sea favor intensification. The storm could be a Category 3 as it gains strength over the sea and nears southern China. The storm is expected to brush the northern part of the Chinese island of Hainan on Friday evening local time (Friday morning ET) as a strong typhoon, likely still a Category 3.

(CNN) -- Lawyers for a leading Kenyan presidential contender want the International Criminal Court to take a step backward in his trial for alleged human rights violations, saying a crucial prosecution witness lied. Uhuru Kenyatta is the current deputy prime minister and a frontrunner in the presidential election next month. His defense is seeking a review of the case, saying doing so will avoid "a serious miscarriage" of justice. Kenyan leaders to stand trial on human rights violations . In a document released Wednesday, Kenyatta's lawyers said a witness identified as "OTP-4" lied about attending a meeting that the candidate was allegedly holding with the Mungiki, an outlawed sect of fighters. Mungiki fighters are alleged to have conducted bloody attacks during the aftermath of the 2007 disputed elections. The ICC has said Kenyatta and a co-perpetrator directed the outlawed sect to attack opposition members and rival tribes during the postelection unrest. ICC to present charges in Kenyan postelection violence . Following the revelation about "OTP-4," the ICC dropped the witness from the proceedings, according to the defense. Prosecutor's documents now don't show any evidence that Kenyatta attended the meeting, the defense said. "In the circumstances, a key fact underlying the confirmed charges has been established to be based upon a lie," the lawyers said. Despite the claims, the ICC said the trial will continue as planned April 10 and 11. "The channel to respond to all submissions presented to the Chamber by any party to proceedings before the court is through a filing to the judges and not through the media," the court said in a statement. Kenyatta and his alleged co-perpetrator Francis Muthaura are among four people accused in the postelection violence, which left more than 1,000 people dead and hundreds of thousands displaced. The court's pretrial chamber confirmed charges against the four last year. Kenya had earlier challenged the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, saying its own authorities would investigate and prosecute the cases. Kenyatta hails from an influential political family in the east African nation.

(CNN) -- I've returned to Washington after a long time away in my home in Britain to get a sense of the political mood in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election. And I'm pretty depressed to discover that everyone is talking about Jeb Bush. It's not that he wouldn't make a strong candidate for the GOP. It's that the thought of a third Bush in the White House feels distinctly un-American. Like you're all giving up on the whole "revolution" thing in favor of English-style aristocracy. Speculation was reignited -- one suspects entirely by accident -- when George P. Bush told ABC that his father is "giving [the presidency] serious thought and moving ... forward." I've heard the opposite, that the candidate hasn't quite got the requisite enthusiasm. He also has plenty of weaknesses hidden by the fact that he hasn't declared yet (voters are always far keener on people who aren't officially running than those who are). As Chris Cillizza wrote in The Washington Post, the former Florida governor's polling is unspectacular, he disagrees with the GOP base on some important issues and his patrician tone is better-suited to a general election than to a primary campaign. Having said that, Jeb would still be a more than worthy addition to the race that right now is full of newbies to national politics (Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, etc.). He has gravitas, executive experience in a major state and a record of winning votes among the groups to which Republicans know they need to reach out. Bush speaks Spanish, his wife was born in Mexico and he took an astonishing 61% of the Hispanic vote in the 1998 governor's race. There's a case for putting Jeb on the ticket just to win Florida back: its growing, non-Cuban, Hispanic population helped give it to Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. But there is one big argument against a Bush candidacy: his name. I hate to sound so superficial, but I sense that it does matter for a whole host of complex psychological reasons. It brings back memories of his brother, George W., who polls suggest is blamed by a significant number of people for America's problems. If the race is Bush vs. Clinton in 2016, then it's a clash of nostalgias -- and Americans' feelings about the Clinton years are probably a lot warmer than they are about the Bush ones. It's job security vs. credit crunch and relative peace vs. endless war. The irony is that Jeb is probably politically a little more polished than either his brother or even father (he doesn't suffer from the strange verbal tics of George W. and George H.W. -- recall that the family patriarch once told people that he'd had "some sex" with Ronald Reagan). But by sheer coincidence of running for office after them, he will be associated with their myriad weaknesses. Moreover, family matriarch Barbara Bush was quite correct when she said that there was something innately unsettling about the thought of yet another Bush running for the presidency. Last year, she told Matt Lauer that although Jeb was the best candidate available (that's a proud mom speaking): "I think it's a great country, there are a lot of great families, and it's not just four families whatever. There are other people out there that are very qualified, and we've had enough Bushes." The same could be said about the Clintons, but you probably won't find a Clinton modest enough to say it. Barbara has stopped saying it, according to The New York Times, because the family has asked her to quit. America is supposed to be a democracy and, as such, its citizens should not tolerate aristocratic oligarchs lightly. If Jeb Bush ran and won, there would have been no decade without a Bush in the White House since the 1970s. And no Republican ticket would have won without a Bush or a Nixon on it since 1928. It's perfectly possible that the Bush family is uniquely talented. But it's more likely that a dearth of political talent in the United States has allowed them to concentrate far too much power in their hands. That they might go up against the Clintons in 2016 makes journalists salivate at the prospect of a "grudge match." But is it really healthy for American democracy forever to be looking backward? Especially at a moment in time when politics is defined by gridlock, I sense that Washington, and the rest of the country, is exhausted by old battles over policy. What's needed is a fresh new start. That might translate into a vote for youth (Marco Rubio), for a new philosophical direction (Elizabeth Warren or Rand Paul) or for the elevation of a "common man" who gets the middle-class (Chris Christie). What I doubt it'll mean is the keys of the White House returning to the Bush family. For all their undoubted service to the presidency, they don't own it. | Tim Stanley: It's depressing to hear people talking about Jeb Bush and a possible 2016 run .

A long-lost avant-garde painting has been found by a sharp-eyed art historian who recognised the work in the background of 90s children's movie Stuart Little. Gergely Barki, 43, a researcher at Hungary's National Gallery, noticed Sleeping Lady with Black Vase by 20th Century painter Robert Bereny while watching TV with his daughter Lola in 2009. The painting, which is up for auction at a starting price of 110,000 euros (£87,200), had been bought by the film's set designer for 'next-to-nothing' in an antique shop in California. Lost and found: Art historian Gergerly Barki spotted the lost painting being used as a prop in 1999 film Stuart Little, starring Hugh Laurie and Geena Davies . Sleeping Lady with Black Vase disappeared in the 1920s but appeared before Mr Barki's eyes, hanging on the wall in Stuart Little, a children's film from 1999 starring Michael J Fox, Geena Davies and Hugh Laurie. Mr Barki recognised it immediately even though he had only seen a faded black-and-white photo dating from a 1928 exhibition archived in the National Gallery. 'I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Bereny's long-lost masterpiece on the wall behind Hugh Laurie, I nearly dropped Lola from my lap,' Mr Barki said . 'A researcher can never take his eyes off the job, even when watching Christmas movies at home,' he said. Mr Barki sent a flurry of emails to staff at the film's makers Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures, finally receiving a reply two year later, from one of the film's set designers. Back home again: The painting, which had been bought by a Stuart Little set designer in a California antique shop for 'next-to-nothing' in the 90s, is now up for auction at a starting price of 110,000 euros (£87,200) Treasure: Gergely Barki poses in front of Hungarian artist Robert Bereny's Sleeping Lady with Black Vase in the Virag Judit Art Gallery in Budapest after the painting returned to Hungary after nine decades . 'She said the picture was hanging on her wall,' Mr Barki said . 'She had snapped it up for next-to-nothing in an antiques shop in Pasadena, California, thinking its avant-garde elegance was perfect for Stuart Little's living room.' After leaving Sony, the set-designer sold the painting to a private collector who has now brought the picture to Budapest for auction. Robert Bereny, the leader of a pre-World War I avant-garde movement called the 'Group of Eights', fled to Berlin in 1920 after designing recruitment posters for Hungary's short-lived communist revolution in 1919. In the German capital, he had a romance with actress Marlene Dietrich, and later returned to Hungary where he died in 1953. Bereny's painting goes under the hammer December 13 with a starting price of around 110,000 euros (£87,200), staff at the Virag Judit auction house said. According to Barki, the buyer at the 1928 exhibition, possibly Jewish, is likely to have left Hungary in the run-up to, or during, World War II. 'After the wars, revolutions, and tumult of the 20th century many Hungarian masterpieces are lost, scattered around the world,' he said. | Lost 20th Century art by Hungarian painter spotted in children's film .

The trial of a Saudi businessman accused in the 1998 Al-Qaeda bombings of US embassies in East Africa got underway in New York on Tuesday with jury selection. Khalid al-Fawwaz, who was allegedly head of al-Qaeda's London office until his arrest in 1999, is accused on four counts of conspiracy to kill Americans and conspiracy to destroy US property. The attacks on the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which were claimed by Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, killed 224 people and wounded around 5,000. Khalid al-Fawwaz was, among other things, head of al-Qaeda's London office until he was arrested in Britain in 1999. He has already spent 16 years in custody . The 52-year-old appeared in a Manhattan federal court on Tuesday to face terrorism charges . Arrested in Britain in 1999, Fawwaz has already spent 16 years in custody and pleads not guilty. On Tuesday, he took a seat in the Manhattan court room, just a short walk from the site of the former Twin Towers destroyed by Al-Qaeda in the 9/11 attacks. He wore a crisp white tunic, neatly pressed and of the type traditionally favored by men in Saudi Arabia, with a crocheted white prayer cap on his head. He had dark shadows under his eyes, his face was pale and partially obscured by a long, pointy grey beard. He folded his stocky frame into a court chair, put black-rimmed spectacles on his nose to consult documents and exchanged pleasantries with his lawyers. US prosecutors claim that Fawwaz was head of al-Qaeda's London office - put in charge personally by bin Laden, who was killed by US Navy SEALs in Pakistan in May 2011. Fawwaz is accused of setting up the London office to publicize bin Laden's statements and serve as a conduit for messages between different al-Qaeda cells . This August 1998 photo shows Kenyan residents looking at the US embassy (left) days after the bomb blast . From around 1993 - five years before the attacks - he was named as an al-Qaeda associate who allegedly began to establish businesses and residence in Kenya. From 1995 to 1998, he allegedly provided bin Laden and other al-Qaeda members with communications, including a satellite phone, and disseminated bin Laden's declaration of jihad in England. US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who has overseen a string of terror trials ending in guilty convictions, opened the first stage of jury selection on Tuesday. A pool of around 200 prospective jurors, who have already completed questionnaires, will be whittled down to 12, with six alternates, who will hear the case. The process is expected to continue until at least Thursday before opening arguments can begin. The Fawwaz trial is estimated to last five weeks, considerably shorter than previously expected. One of his co-defendants, Libya's Abu Anas al-Libi, died in a New York hospital earlier this month after suffering from advanced hepatitis C and cancer. A second Egyptian, Adel Abdel Bary, pleaded guilty last year and is set to be sentenced by Kaplan on February 6. Fawwaz was arrested in Britain in 1999 and fought a nearly 12-year battle against extradition before being sent to the United States to stand trial. | Khalid al-Fawwaz worked as Osama bin Laden's spokesman and helped coordinate and carry out the attacks in Kenya and Tanzania .

Tennis star Serena Williams was today forced to withdraw from China's Wuhan Open after falling ill with a virus during her second-round match. The 32-year-old American, currently ranked world number one, was beating French opponent Alize Cornet 6-5 in the first set when she suddenly asked for treatment beside the court. She had her temperature and blood pressure taken by a doctor, before she officially withdrew and was helped from the court by a trainer. She was reportedly later taken to hospital as a precaution.

It comes just two months after Williams was forced to retired from a doubles match with her sister Venus after a mystery illness left her completely disoriented and unable to serve or throw the ball. Today, the player, who appeared fatigued throughout the match, apologized to fans for withdrawing from the $2.4million hard court competition, according to Sports Illustrated.

Washington (CNN) -- Jeb Bush says he hasn't made up his mind yet on a 2016 presidential campaign, but that didn't stop him Wednesday from taking a thinly veiled shot at the top contender for the Democratic nomination. Bush, the former governor of Florida, didn't mention former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by name, but Clinton was clearly the butt of his remarks in Colorado: . "This last week I saw something that was breathtaking. A candidate, a former Secretary of State, who was campaigning in Massachusetts where she said that 'don't let them tell you that businesses creates jobs,'" Bush said, referring to a line Clinton made last week. While campaigning in Massachusetts Friday, Clinton told the crowd, "Don't let anybody tell you that it's corporations and businesses that create jobs," adding that trickle-down economic policies have "failed rather spectacularly." Clinton backpedaled on those remarks three days later explaining that "our economy grows when businesses and entrepreneurs create good-paying jobs here in America where workers and families are empowered to build from the bottom up and the middle out" instead of handing "tax breaks to corporations that outsource jobs." Republicans have since pounced on the remarks and the former Florida governor also used Clinton's line to build on his own economic vision. "Well, the problem in America today is that not enough jobs are being created. They are created by businesses where people's income rise where they can live a life of purpose and meaning independent of government. That should be the mission. And the only way that we do that is to create a climate of high sustained economic growth where everybody, everybody in this country has a chance at earned success," Bush said. And while that might sound like a stump speech, Bush insists he hasn't made up his mind yet, though he is seriously considering a bid and has met with top donors. His son George P. Bush even said it's "more than likely that he's giving this a serious thought in moving forward" last weekend. His father is expected to make a decision after the holiday season. The former governor isn't the only potential GOP presidential candidate who knocked Clinton this week over the jobs comments. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky slammed Clinton earlier this week while campaigning for Republican candidates in Kansas. "Hillary Clinton comes up and she says, 'Businesses don't create jobs.' Anybody here think businesses don't create jobs?" Paul said, according to Buzzfeed. "I'm here today to endorse Pat Roberts and Sam Brownback, because you know what? They know that businesses do create jobs, and I hope you know that too." Paul also used his time at the mic to tie Clinton's comments to a comment from President Barack Obama on the 2012 campaign trail that was used repeatedly by Republicans to attack the president during his reelection bid. "The president says, 'you didn't build that, it just sort of happened,'" Paul said. Obama's comment that "if you've got a business, you didn't build that" during a campaign rally in 2012 came while Obama was talking about the importance of infrastructure and public services. The remark caused the Obama campaign quite a headache in 2012, and it looks like Clinton's comments on jobs could have the same impact in 2016, if she were to run. | While campaigning in Colorado, Bush hit Clinton over her comments that businesses don't create jobs .
Clinton later walked back those remarks saying tax breaks for corporations don't spur economic growth .

Rich people in America have better and more sleep than people with lower incomes, a study revealed (above file photo) Rich people get more sleep than people with lower incomes, a study revealed. Ethnic minority students, along with students from lower-income families or those living in urban areas get less sleep compared to wealthier white males, according to the Columbia University study. Researchers surveyed 270,000 students in America from both public and private schools between 1991 and 2012, and asked them: How often they slept for more than seven hours a night and how often they sleep less than they should. The recommended amount of sleep for adolescents is nine hours, however students from lower-income families and ethnic minorities did not report having more than seven hours of sleep a night. This could be due to housing quality, obesity and conditions that disrupt sleep, according to researchers . Surprisingly, while these students received less than the recommended amount, they reported they felt they had received enough rest. Girls reported having less hours of sleep compared to boys. Factors that are potentially contributing to the decline of recommended sleep includes the increase use of the Internet and social media, and demands of school and extracurricular activities (above file photo) Stick to the same bedtime: Sleep experts believe going to bed and waking up at the same times on a regular basis is vital for healthy sleep. This is because humans have an inbuilt body clock called the circadian rhythm. Controlled by hypothalamus at the base of the brain, it governs the body's daily alternation between sleep and wakefulness. Take a hot bath: Taking a hot bath before bed can help induce sleep, says Paul Martin, author of a new book called Counting Sheep. This is because your body temperature has a strong influence on how fast you fall asleep. A night's sleep is normally proceeded by a slight drop in body temperature and scientists have established that this drop in temperature tells your body to go to sleep. The theory behind taking a hot bath is to raise your body temperature artificially before allowing it to drop again as it adjusts to the cooler environment of your room. The trick, says Martin, is to take a bath one to two hours before bedtime and keep your bath temperature warm, rather than hot. Treat yourself to a hot, milky drink: It may sound like an old wives' tale but taking a hot milky drink can encourage drowsiness because milk contains sleep-enhancing properties. This is thanks to its calcium content, which sleep experts claim can help you relax. It is also rich in tryptophan, which the body converts into serotonin - a natural hormone in the body that can make you sleepy. This compares to coffee - which is twice as stimulating as tea due to its high caffeine content. Sleep experts recommend drinking coffee no later than within two to three hours of going to bed, so that your body has a chance to process the caffeine. This disparity could mean those from lower-income families and ethnic minorities have not received enough education on the importance of sleep when it comes to health. Students from middle and higher-income families who had parents that received a high school education regularly reported having more than seven hours of sleep. The study also found that girls had less hours of sleep a night compared to boys. The recommended amount of sleep for adolescents is nine hours, however students from lower-income families and ethnic minorities did not report having more than seven hours of sleep a night. Over the years, 15-year-old children had the biggest drop in sleep as it dropped nine per cent from 1991 and 2012 (above a graph of the amount of sleep adolescents receive by age group) Over the years, 15-year-old children had the biggest drop in sleep as it decreased a total of nine per cent - from 71.5 per cent in 1991 to 63 per cent in 2012. And generally, there has been a decline in adolescents who are not getting enough sleep, one-third, which could be a public health concern. Factors that are potentially contributing to the decline of recommended sleep includes the increase use of the Internet and social media, and demands of school and extracurricular activities. | Ethnic minorities, students from lower income families or those living in urban areas get less sleep compared to wealthier white males .

By . Daily Mail Reporter . Coronation Street fans could soon be able to say ‘I do’ in the Rovers Return after the old Quay Street set was granted a wedding licence. The certificate will allow non-religious marriages and civil ceremonies to be performed at the studio, where the ITV soap was filmed for 53 years. The licence covers Stage One, home to indoor sets including the Rovers Return pub and the Underworld factory. Coronation's Street's famous cobbled streets have been granted a wedding licence . The area also includes the homes of some of the show’s most famous characters, from Jack and Vera Duckworth’s old house to the Platt family’s residence and Carla Barlow’s flat. The barge where Ken Barlow’s mistress Martha Fraser lived is also moored there. Brides and grooms will be able to have their photos taken on the famous Weatherfield cobbles once they have got hitched inside. The studio opened as a temporary visitor attraction in April after production moved to a new set at MediaCityUK in Salford Quays. Tours of the set are operated by tourist attractions group Continuum, which applied for the wedding licence last month. The venue can already be hired out for private events, which give guests access to the whole set, but it has yet to host a wedding reception. Evening hire is currently only available on weekdays, at a cost of £2,500, with the venue catering for up to 120 people at a sit-down dinner and 250 at a drinks reception. Non-religious marriages and civil ceremonies will now be held at the soap's famous landmarks such as the Rovers Return, pictured . It has already taken a number of corporate bookings and will hold its first bar mitzvah party next week. Wedding packages and prices are still being finalised and details are expected to be announced early next week. Corrie fans who want to tie the knot there will have to make it a shotgun wedding though - the studios are earmarked for redevelopment and are set to close in October. The wider Granada Studios complex was bought by developers Allied London and Manchester council in a £26.5m deal last year and will ultimately form part of a blueprint for a new city centre neighbourhood. | Quay Street set of popular TV soap have been granted a wedding licence .

New York (CNN)Friends remember Ellen Brody, a mother of three, as someone who wasn't careless or put others at risk. But the Mercedes-Benz SUV she was driving Tuesday evening suddenly moved into the path of Metro-North train, triggering the deadliest crash in the history of the New York commuter railroad, a safety official said. The engineer saw the SUV and applied the emergency brake as the train traveled at 58 mph, just under the speed limit of 60, National Transportation Safety Board member Robert Sumwalt said Thursday. It was 6:26 p.m. The train sounded its horn appropriately. The flashing lights and gates at the crossing functioned properly, officials said. The eight-car train stopped 950 feet after the brake was applied, Sumwalt said. That's about the distance that the SUV was dragged. Brody and five train passengers were killed. A witness who was driving a car behind the SUV told the NTSB that the vehicle stopped at the crossing Tuesday night. The SUV driver came out of her vehicle after her rear window was struck by a gate. The warning lights activated 39 seconds before the collision, the NTSB said. The gates came down a few seconds later -- leaving the SUV in the train's path about half a minute. The witness told investigators that he saw flashing lights that signaled the approaching train. He said he backed up slightly and gestured at Brody to back up away from the gate. She returned to the vehicle and, in what seemed like "enough time to put on a seat belt," suddenly moved the SUV forward into the train's path, Sumwalt said. "What we have here is ... a mosaic," Sumwalt said. "We're going to take different pieces of information ... assemble it and see what that picture looks like." The goal, he said, is to construct "a timeline so we know exactly what happened and when." Steven Harrod, a railroad expert and former professor at University of Dayton in Ohio, said oncoming trains rarely can stop in time for vehicles on tracks. "It is a physical reality," he said. "The train's 'failure to stop' is not a surprise or a cause of the accident... This accident was unfortunate bad luck ... It is a constant battle against vehicles on road crossings." The SUV driver and other motorists had been diverted to the area of the rail crossing after another unrelated accident on a nearby parkway, according to the NTSB. More than a dozen other people were injured in the crash. It's not known why the SUV stopped on the tracks in Valhalla, about 30 miles north of New York City, the NTSB said. Sumwalt said he believed Brody had owned the SUV a short period of time. 'She had just a beautiful soul' "This was a tragic accident and you wonder why it happened, but certainly this it was not her," said Paul Feiner, Brody's longtime friend. "She was not a careless person. She would not ever do anything that would put anybody at risk." A mother of three girls, Brody, 49, worked at a jewelry store for 10 years, according to friends. She had just left the store when she was killed. "Her girls really adore her," said Benjy Silverman, Rabbi at Chabad of the Rivertowns. "Her husband and her were very close. It's really just a beautiful family unit." Virginia Shasha, a co-worker at the store, said: "In one word...she just had a beautiful soul. She looked for the good in others. She was, she looked for the good." Brody's actions behind the wheel moments before the crash are a focus of the investigation, officials said. "There are two big questions here: Why was the car on the train tracks?" Sumwalt asked. "And what caused this accident to be fatal for occupants of the train?" Sumwalt said the NTSB is also examining the train's exits, the "crashworthiness" of the rail cars, and the intensity of the fire -- which may have been fueled by the SUV's gas tank. Some 400 feet of the electrified third rail perforated the first rail car and part of the second in 80-foot sections "breaking apart section by section, just basically piling up" in the cars, according to the NTSB. Brody was killed in the collision along with train passengers Walter Liedtke, European paintings curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; Eric Vandercar, a senior managing director for Mesirow Financial; Robert Dirks, a scientist with D. E. Shaw Research; and Joseph Nadol and Aditya Tomar of J.P. Morgan. Brody's husband, Alan, on Facebook expressed his gratitude to those who have reached out. "Thank you to those who shared their condolences for the terrible tragedy that took my beloved wife, Ellen, whom so many of you knew. We will be saying goodbye to her on Friday Feb. 6th, 10 am at 303 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry, NY."

Toronto (CNN) -- The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has propelled Mitchell Casado into the realm of aviation analyst celebrity -- and no one is more uncomfortable with that than Casado. I found him incredibly shy and modest, even by Canadian standards. Casado never wanted to be on camera. In fact, he was horrified when we at CNN suggested it. At 6-foot-2 and "gargantuan," as he puts it, he hates to see himself on camera. Yet in the cockpit he transforms, and it's clear he has a gift that exceeds controlling a jumbo jet. His eyes light up, and his soft-spoken voice rises in level and confidence. You not only know he can fly, but he makes you want to fly, too. On TV, he's a natural and can take the most complex pieces of aircraft equipment or flight scenario and explain it in a way that's clear and simple. He shuns jargon and acronyms and, unlike other aviation experts, uses words we already know. He's a pilot for the people. But in a profession known for precision, he suffers for his everyman speak and appearance. His hipster facial hair and casual cockpit attire have earned him critiques from anonymous "pilots" sniping from online. The negative comments can cut him to the bone. The reality is he dresses not for corporate aviation but comfort, and his journey to becoming a pilot and aviation analyst is far from typical. Casado, 33, grew up in a tough, blue-collar suburb of Toronto. His father came from Central America, his mother from Europe. At age 7, a gift of a toy plane set him on the route where we find him today. Fascination about flying turned into obsession -- his word -- for all things aviation. At school he'd get in trouble for reading flying magazines tucked inside his textbooks. He wasn't good at math, but his sights set firmly on the goal of flying one day, he studied hard to master calculus and geometry. Because of a birth defect, he suffered almost constant, even violent bullying, and long before he started navigating jets through the air, he was plotting alternate courses home from school to avoid heckling classmates. After high school, he joined the Army to serve his country, and only after that did he turn his focus to flying. His parents helped him get his private pilot's license, but a commercial license proved much more expensive because it required flight school and significant flying time. He took any job he could to earn money, working in kitchens and fast food restaurants. His apartment, for a time, went without furniture. When he eventually had $14,000, he headed to a flight school in western Canada, thrilled to finally be on his way. But the dream turned to disaster when the flight school went bust, taking his money with it. Ocean Shield: A mission of hope and uncertainty in search for Flight 370 . That's when the darkest days of his life began. Homeless, he slept on park benches and in stairways until finally ending up at the place he knew best, the airport. By day, he'd sit in the terminals and at night, he'd sleep in the bathrooms. In the oversized handicapped stalls he would use a roll of masking tape to mark out runways and walk around them practicing approaches. He used a toilet seat for chair flying, imagining the controls and switches in his mind. Eventually he made it back home and began working once more to earn money to fly. It would take him years before that final check flight. When the pilot turned and told him he had passed, Mitchell couldn't help it: he cried. His dream had come true. By 2007 he was ranked in the top 10 of Canada's amateur pilots. Today, in addition to his multi-engine license, he has earned his seaplane rating, flown cargo routes and flown as a "bush pilot" in Canada and elsewhere. When he's not in the air, he works as a simulator instructor on Boeing 737s and 777s. And, of course, there's his new-found television talent. For his on air role, I have pushed him to do in the simulator what he would never attempt as a professional pilot. Hence, he has probably virtually crashed a 777 more than anyone. That's my fault. On TV we have had him fly a 777 at 5,000 feet in the Himalayas. I nearly lost my dinner on that one with all the banking and yanking. Then there was the time I made him attempt to land the plane on a ridiculously small runway on a remote island. Just to make it harder, I told him to make the weather stormy. He had one shot live on TV with countless people watching. To his credit, he landed with room to spare but was so exhausted from the attempt he couldn't answer our anchor's questions afterward. A few days later he got a message from someone at the Federal Aviation Administration congratulating him on the landing. The other day we made him simulate a scenario where the fuel runs out on a 777. It was awful. It was real. We both sat in silence for a minute when it was over. He apologized and left the cockpit. I had become caught up in the "gee-whiz-what-if" angle of the simulator. Casado had not. We may have flown in the virtual world, but as a pilot, Casado knew the heartbreaking loss for 239 passengers' families is real. Casado also has a life outside the cockpit. He's married to his childhood sweetheart, Deborah, whom he married three years ago. When the hours go long -- and they do -- he worries about Buddy and Snowflake, his two Netherlands dwarf rabbits waiting at home. Buddy's a rescue. He speaks to young people, often cautioning those who might be considering flying as a career that the airline industry isn't what it once was. The high-octane, high-paying days of commercial aviation are now a business. There's more he wants to do in life, but for now Casado spends most days flying and instructing in the 777 simulator where I met him. What's unique about the place is it's open to the public, so if you've ever fantasized about taking off from Los Angeles International or landing at Toronto Pearson, or even just doing touch-and-gos at Paris' Charles de Gaulle, Casado is the guy you want in the left seat. He knows a thing or two about dreams, what it takes to make them come true and how sometimes there can be a turbulence along the way.

A teacher who was critically injured when a rock was dropped on her family's car from a Pennsylvania overpass has made 'amazing' strides, her husband said. Sharon Budd, from Ohio, is taking steps, talking in short sentences, eating soft foods and writing and drawing, said Randy Budd. 'It's absolutely amazing how far she has come from this horrific, senseless, violent crime,' Mr Budd said. Sharon Budd, 52, is taking steps, talking in short sentences, eating soft foods and writing and drawing, said her husband Randy Budd (both pictured). He says she is making 'amazing strides' Mrs Budd, pictured with her husband, three sons and a daughter, suffered severe head injuries when the football-sized rock crashed through the windshield of the family's car on July 10 during a trip to New York . 'She continues to amaze the doctors and nurses. In fact, they call her the miracle child,' he told the Akron Beacon Journal. The 52-year-old teacher from Uniontown had a setback this week when she suffered a seizure from which she continues to recover. Her family nevertheless is hopeful she will leave the rehabilitation hospital in Pennsylvania within a few weeks. 'Blood on their hands': Brett Lahr, 18 (left),and his 17-year-old brother Dylan (right), were charged with aggravated assaultand conspiracy charges along with two other teens in the rock-throwingcase . Scene: A group of teenagers threw rocks from this overpass in Milton, Pennsylvania, in July and one landed on the Budds' car . She then would continue her rehab on an outpatient basis. Mrs Budd, of Uniontown, suffered severe head injuries when the football-sized rock crashed through the windshield of the family's car on July 10 during a trip to New York. The teacher, a passenger in the vehicle driven by her daughter, had just finished speaking to her son, who was about to be deployed to Afghanistan with the military. The rock was dropped from an Interstate 80 overpass near Danville, Pennsylvania. Mrs Budd has undergone multiple surgeries, including removal of a portion of her facial bones to ease the brain swelling. Complications forced surgeons to remove a portion of her right frontal brain, her husband said. She also lost the use of her right eye. Injured: Sharon Budd was struck by the rock moments after she spoke with her son Lucas (right), who has been deployed to Afghanistan . Altered: Mrs Budd and her family. Doctors were forced to remove the right frontal lobe of Sharon Budd's brain, which helps determine personality . Mrs Budd's story will be featured Thursday on the nationally syndicated show 'The Doctors.' Thousands of dollars have been raised in online efforts to help pay for her treatment. Dylan M. Lahr, 17; Brett M. Lahr, 18; Tyler Gregory Porter, 18; and Keefer Lance McGee, 17 are accused of the attack on Sharon Budd. They are also accused of another rock-throwing incident, driving vehicles through a cornfield and breaking a home's window with a baseball bat. The four face adult charges of aggravated assault, conspiracy, trespassing, propelling missiles into occupied vehicles, agricultural vandalism and reckless endangerment. | Rock smashed through Sharon Budd's windshield landing on her head .

By . Glen Owen, Mail on Sunday Political Correspondent . PUBLISHED: . 17:42 EST, 26 October 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 20:32 EST, 26 October 2013 . Advisor: The disclosure comes just days after Mr Campbell revealed that he is considering standing for Parliament . Tony Blair was last night accused of helping to secure a plum job for Alastair Campbell’s firm on a ‘dictator’s payroll’. The claim was made after US Government documents revealed the extent of links between the former Prime Minister and the lobbying company that employs his former spin doctor. According to US Justice Department papers, the authoritarian Kazakhstan regime in central Asia is represented in the US ‘through Windrush Ventures Limited, through Portland PR Limited’. The entry appears to indicate that Mr Blair, whose multi-million- pound earnings are channelled into Windrush, secured the contract in Washington for Portland, a public relations firm for which Mr Campbell acts as an adviser. Mr Blair has always denied receiving money to ‘whitewash’ Kazakhstan’s human rights record, insisting that he has been advising on political reforms to ‘make a difference’ to the country and ‘is not personally making a profit’. However, the US document appears to confirm suspicions that Mr Blair has used his connection with its ruler, Nursultan Nazarbayev, to broker a lucrative deal for his former aide. Tory MP Charlie Elphicke said: ‘This appears to confirm what we have long suspected: that Blair has been directly involved in securing plum jobs for his cronies.’ The disclosure comes just days after Mr Campbell revealed that he is considering standing for Parliament and that he will advise Labour leader Ed Miliband in the run-up to the 2015 Election. The former Downing Street communications chief has been spotted in the oil-rich state, which has been ruled for more than two decades by Mr Nazarbayev – a Soviet-era hardman whose regime has been criticised for serious human rights abuses. According to the Justice Department document, the Windrush/Portland arrangement was registered with the US Government in September 2011. Sources said that such a deal was likely to be worth millions of pounds a year. Portland said: ‘We provide communications support for the government of Kazakhstan. It is mentioned on our own website, as is the fact that Alastair Campbell is one of our advisers.’ A spokesman for Mr Blair said: ‘We don’t lobby but we do carry out work on social and economic reform in Kazakhstan.’ Close: Tony Blair pictured with President Nazarbayev when he was still Prime Minister, he denies that he has received money to 'whitewash' Kazakhstan's human rights record . | US government documents have revealed the extent of links between the former PM and lobbying group which employs his former spin doctor .

The old wives’ tale that cows lie down when it is about to rain may not be so far fetched after all, according to a new study by scientists. For researchers have discovered that cows stand up for longer periods when it is hot, proving there is a definite link between their behaviour and the weather. They also suggest that cows lie down when it is colder, which is often what happens to the weather just before it rains. Weather gauge: Cows are more likely to lie down when it is cold, the study shows . The study unwittingly lends credibility to British farming folklore which has long suggested that the sight of a herd of the beasts lying down in a field is a good sign that rain is on the way. University animal scientists specifically researched the body temperature of cattle across the great American west because when cows are too hot, their milk production suffers. And the study, by the universities of Arizona and Northwest Missouri, found that cows stand up for longer when it is hotter because it helps lower their core body temperature. By exposing more of their surface area, it allows their body heat to disperse in the air. When cows get too hot they pant more, eat less and so produce less milk. Cows lie down when they want to conserve heat, and energy, and farmers in particularly hot climates should try and get their herds to lie down more. Research: The study was conducted by the University of Arizona (pictured) and the University of Northern Missouri . But this may also unwittingly explain why it may be true that cows lie down when rain is on the way in more temperate climates. As any weather enthusiast knows, rain is usually preceded by a bout of low pressure which is easy to detect and is also a sign that it is about to get colder. If cows lose heat by standing up, as the US study now suggests, then detecting the arrival of colder weather will make them lie down. Lead researcher Dr Jamison Allen of the University of Arizona presented his findings to a US conference on animal science. He said: 'Predicting heat stress is vital for keeping cows healthy and productive. 'Cows prefer standing to lying on hot days. Cows stand to allow more of their surface area to disperse heat into the air. 'We can predict the animal’s behaviour to stand according to their core temperature. 'But by encouraging cows to lie down, producers will also help their cows conserve energy.' Further studies will look specifically at how cow’s react to other aspects of the weather including humidity. | Cows lie down when it is cold and stand when it is hot, research shows .

Valerie Trierweiler was all smiles as she was pictured in public for the first time since her break-up with Francois Hollande. The former French first lady put on a brave face as she beamed for the cameras outside the Christian Dior Womenswear show at Paris Fashion Week on Friday. However, with no presidential limousine to whisk her home afterwards, she decided to take the Metro instead, with some passengers seemingly unaware that the president’s former partner was on the platform. Smiles better: Valerie Trierweiler, centre, former companion of French President Francois Hollande, leaves after Dior's ready-to-wear fall/winter 2014-2015 fashion collection presented in Paris on Friday . Public transport: With no presidential limo to whisk her away from the Dior show afterwards, the former first lady took the Metro . Blending in: Two passengers were seemingly oblivious to the presence of the former first lady . Trierweiler told Paris Match magazine that when she found out that Hollande was ending their relationship it ‘was like I'd fallen from a skyscraper’. Hollande drew headlines and ridicule worldwide in January after a gossip magazine reported that he had zipped through Paris in a face-covering helmet on a motor scooter for a tryst with French actress Julie Gayet - unbeknownst to his first lady. Trierweiler added: ‘Clearly I had heard the rumours but you heard (rumours) about everyone. I hear them about myself too, all of the time. I paid no attention to them.’ In good spirits: Trierweiler was still smiling as she left the Dior show (left) and seemed in equally good cheer as she prepared to step on to a waiting Metro train (right) According to The Telegraph, Trierweiler, 48, says she has spoken to Hollande on the phone every day since he announced he was ending their 'shared life together.' Hollande apparently called her on the first day of her trip to Mumbai, where she launched a charity in defiance of Elysee staff, and again after a press conference yesterday when she stressed their relationship would not be rekindled. Trierweiler has also confirmed that she will not be returning to the 'cynicism' of political journalism following the split, and instead plans to launch a career as a humanitarian campaigner. Star-studded audience: Friday's Christian Dior show was also attended by Rihanna (left) and Hollywood star Jessica Alba (right) Models walk the runway during the Dior show as part of the Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2014-2015 show on Friday . Following the split Trierweiler made a tour of children’s hospitals in India. While there she told reporters that she blamed the break-up on 'low blows', 'betrayals' and 'back-stabbing'. Other famous people at the Dior show included actress Jessica Alba and pop superstar Rihanna. Hollande, meanwhile, was in the Central African Republic to tell its leaders and French forces stationed there that France will work to stop the country splitting in two.

(CNN) -- At least 40 people were killed in an airstrike on a key hospital in the besieged city of Aleppo, a rebel leader there told CNN. Ralib al-Omar, with the Yusif al-Asma rebel group, said the attack targeted the Dar al-Shifa Hospital and that the dead included two nurses. The hospital is one of the main sources of medical help for people in Syria's commercial hub. Video posted by activists showed a collapsed building adjacent to the hospital. The blast appeared to have hit the hospital's front lobby, which is often crowded with patients, civilians and rebels. The hospital had been attacked this year when an artillery shell hit its maternity ward. | The dead include two nurses, says rebel leader .

The world's very first space detective agency has been launched in a bid to settle disputes in court with the use of satellite images. Satellite imaging specialist Professor Raymond Harris and space lawyer Raymond Purdy have teamed up to form new company Air & Space Evidence Ltd of London. The firm, of which both are named as directors, will enable members of the public to successfully obtain and use authentic satellite imagery to stand up a court case. Scroll down for video . The world's first space detective agency - Air & Space Evidence Ltd of London - has been launched by space experts in a bid to provide satellite images to criminal and civil court cases. Pictured: Satellite image of London . From domestic disputes between homeowners to murder investigations, the space detectives will be able to provide satellite images for any given case. Mr Purdy, 41, who said the agency's services won't cost much more than having a property surveyed, said most of the detectives' work will involve providing and analysing images taken by orbiting satellites. However, in some cases where images with greater resolution are needed, they also plan to use aerial photos from drones. Mr Purdy told New Scientist: 'Trials have been collapsing because courts cannot be convinced of the authenticity of image data. 'We can make a difference by ensuring space images have audit trails that stand up,' The pair will draw upon their expertise in commissioning space images and their familiarity with space image suppliers like Digital Globe of Longmont in Colorado for their work. Mr Harris added: 'Because it is always possible to modify a digital image, you need strong archiving procedures plus information on when it was captured and what happened to it subsequently. We know how to do that.' Satellite imaging specialist Raymond Harris and space lawyer Raymond Purdy have teamed up to form the new company which will enable the public to obtain and use authentic satellite imagery to stand up a court case . He said that as well as major civil and criminal investigations, the agency will also be able to help with fraud cases, waste and environment issues and illegal activity. Private investigator Paul Champion, who is based in Cardiff, described the new company as an 'innovative idea'.

Unhappy: Holly-Mae Donaldson, 13, was sent home from her school in Cheltenham because her skirt, above, was made of banned 'stretchy' material . A 13-year-old schoolgirl was sent home on the first day of term because her skirt was ‘too stretchy’. Holly-Mae Donaldson, a pupil at All Saints Academy in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, had to go home yesterday because her skirt conflicted with the school’s uniform code. The skirt, which was not too short, was deemed unacceptable because it was made of a banned ‘stretchy’ material. Rules for girls say all skirts must be knee-length without splits or pleats, and not stretch. But Holly-Mae has also accused the school of singling her out, as she said other girls wear the exact same skirt but were not punished. She said: ‘I really think it’s pathetic. It’s just the material, and it doesn’t affect my learning. I felt singled out by the teachers, and it’s only the first day of school. ‘I know other girls who have the same skirt as I do, but they haven’t been told they would be put in isolation or sent home. ‘I really enjoyed going to school at the start, but late last year, the teachers seem to be thinking more about uniforms.’ Her mother Diane Donaldson said the decision was ‘appalling’ and that it was almost impossible to find a skirt for her daughter which complies with the rules. ‘I couldn’t believe it when the school called me up. How is the skirt too short, when it goes to her knees?’ she said. ‘They told me it was made of stretchy . material, and not acceptable. I spent the entire summer holidays trying . to find one to fit her as she is so small. ‘Now . they’ve told her they would let her return if she wears the same . trousers which they said last year were unacceptable! It’s really a case . of double standards. I just don’t understand it. Not impressed: Holly-Mae's mother Diane Donaldson (left) attacked the decision to send her daughter home, and said it was difficult to find a skirt that complies with the rules . ‘The school really needs to concentrate more on the education, and less on the pupils’ uniform. I think she is old enough and sensible enough to decide what she wants to wear to school.’ As well as Holly-Mae, All Saints Academy sent two other students home on their first day for having inappropriately dyed hair. The school, which an Ofsted . inspection this year said 'requires improvement', has been criticised . before for sending home a student for wearing the wrong shoes, even . though he had broken his toe the previous day. Principal Peter Kingham said: ‘We have been very clear with our students about uniform expectations. Education: All Saints Academy, pictured, has a strict uniform policy, but inspectors have warned it about poor performance . ‘We have demonstrated what is acceptable and what is not. We have had assemblies on this and written to parents. 'I really think it’s pathetic. I felt singled out by the teachers, and it’s only the first day of school' Holly-Mae Donaldson . ‘The academy has high standards which we are intent on maintaining. We have a parents’ forum where issues such as this can be raised and we encourage parents to join this. ‘Alongside this, we have a procedure for any complaints from parents that we encourage them to follow whenever necessary. ‘Out of 1,000 students in the academy, the vast majority adhere to our policies and practices and accept them fully.’ | Holly-Mae Donaldson sent home from All Saints Academy in Cheltenham .

Maybe it’s his enormous, bulging brown eyes. Or the permanently wrinkled up-turned nose. Or it could be his pointy, over-sized ears. There’s little doubt that Alan, a diminutive five-month-old French bulldog, has a certain je ne sais quoi. ‘Most people associate bulldogs exclusively with England, but this one’s different and definitely full of character,’ says Alan’s besotted owner, Lisa Bristow, a 31-year-old marketing director from London. ‘I can’t walk him down the street without people stopping and admiring him.’ All ears: French bulldogs are loved for their comical looks . They aren’t the only ones. The French bulldog — a kind of ‘bulldog-lite’ which emerged in the 19th century when traditional bulldogs were mated with pugs and terriers to create a miniature version — is one of the fastest growing breeds in Britain, with owners willing to pay £1,000 for one. Last year, the Kennel Club received 6,990 new French bulldog registrations — an increase of 49 per cent on the previous year and of more than 1,000 per cent compared to ten years ago. Enthusiasm for ‘Frenchies’ as fans call them, far exceeds enthusiasm for traditional British bulldogs — the Kennel Club had a thousand fewer registrations for the British breed. Celebrity owners include the Beckhams, whose Frenchie Scarlet is a regular fixture on Victoria’s Twitter page — as well as fashion designer Henry Holland, former Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh and the Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon. X-Men star Hugh Jackman is rarely seen without his cream-coloured French bulldog Dali, while Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding is devoted to her French bulldog Yogi. So what is it about the Frenchie that has turned it into the dog du jour? X-Men star Hugh Jackman is rarely seen without his cream-coloured French bulldog Dali . Certainly not their looks. With their squashed snouts, bulging eyes, stocky bodies and squat spindly legs, they’re unlikely to win any beauty prizes. But for owners, their comical appearance is part of the charm. ‘They are known as the clowns of the canines, and it’s so true,’ says Daisy Dickinson, a 27-year-old beauty writer from Cambridge, whose dog is five-year-old Roxy. Fans often post photos online of their Frenchies dressed up to look as ridiculous as possible. Some dogs have become celebrities in their own right. Sir Charles Barkley, a 21-month-old cream Frenchie, appeared on a range of canine ‘hoodies’ after his owners set up an Instagram photo account that attracted 200,000 followers on the picture-sharing site. Another, Trotter, has nearly 190,000. He is beloved for his exhaustive collection of hats. French Bulldogs are particularly well-suited to owners who live in cities and work long hours. They rarely grow taller than 12 inches or weigh much more than 2st, and dislike extreme temperatures, so are suited to indoor-living. They enjoy human company, are affectionate with owners, and good with children. It’s not the first time Frenchies have experienced a moment in the spotlight. They were all the rage in mid-19th century France. Despite their name, the dogs partly originated in Britain. They were introduced to the Continent by Nottingham’s lace workers who, displaced by machinery after the Industrial Revolution, moved to Normandy in search of work. In Britain, breeders had seen their size as a defect, but by the 1850s in France, they had become a Parisian must-have, known as ‘bouledogues francais’ and popular among artists, writers and high-society ladies. Their return to favour now fits with a longer-term trend for diminutive breeds, or ‘handbag dogs’, which has already seen chihuahuas, pugs and miniature poodles enjoy a place in the spotlight. Kennel Club secretary Caroline Kisko says: ‘People see a picture of a celebrity out carrying a small dog and want one, too.’ But although responsibly-bred Frenchies can enjoy long and healthy lives, living for more than a decade, the breed is prone to health problems. Their short snouts and compact heads, the result of centuries of selective breeding, mean their airways are compacted. They struggle to regulate their temperature, and find breathing in warm weather difficult. Exposure to extreme heat can be lethal. A French bulldog has his teeth cleaned at the Harrods pet parlour . They also have notoriously delicate digestive systems, a reputation for flatulence and a tendency to allergies. French bulldogs can suffer spine and knee pain, and tend to suffer eye problems, such as glaucoma, corneal ulcers and cataracts. The Kennel Club has a register of ‘assured’ breeders on its website, who have been checked over and will only register certain colours of the breed — ‘brindle’, a mix of coloured and black hairs, such as Alan and Roxy; ‘pied’, predominantly white; and ‘fawn’, similar to brindle but with black eyelashes and rims. Other colours, such as the grey-black . ‘blue’ bulldog beloved of celebrities are not approved because they . often suffer from a condition which can result in hair loss and chronic . skin inflammation. Frenchie fans insist that - when properly looked after, this is a breed which can rival any other . And breeders with no Kennel Club affiliation advertise French bulldog puppies online — including Blues — for anything from £500 to £1,600. Frequently, they are based abroad. Some unscrupulous Eastern Europeans breed them in pitiful conditions, and because pets from the EU no longer need to be quarantined, smuggling puppies has never been easier. Last year, the number of dogs coming from Romania increased by more than 1,000 per cent. Another unexpected side-effect of the craze has been the recent wave in bulldog thefts. In February, a seven-month-old French bulldog puppy was stolen from a garden in Aberdare, but was recovered two weeks later. A month earlier, a five-month-old French bulldog was stolen from a home in Stratford-upon-Avon. And a man wielding a knife seized a two-year-old French bulldog from a home in Huddersfield in December. Frenchie fans insist that — when properly looked after, this is a breed which can rival any other. ‘With careful, knowledgeable breeding and care, they can be healthy, lovable, funny little dogs with huge personalities and with no more or less problems than your average Labrador,’ adds Daisy Dickinson. As for Roxy’s status as a fashion icon — it’s just an added bonus. ‘I can see why they’ve stolen the hearts of so many . . . Roxy’s my best friend and I adore her.’ | Breed emerged in the 19th century when traditional bulldogs were mated with pugs and terriers .

Sarah Ferguson showed off her style credentials as she strolled around New York in a chic monochrome outfit yesterday. The 54-year-old appeared to be taking advantage of unseasonably warm weather in the American city as she walked around town without her coat on.

Just two days after an investigation revealed how much personal information public Wi-Fi networks can ‘suck’ from phones, a child has shown how easy the hotspots are to hack. A seven-year-old broke into a Wi-Fi hotspot in just 10 minutes and 54 seconds after watching an online video tutorial. The ethical hacking demo was carried out under the supervision of an online security expert to highlight just how vulnerable the networks are. Scroll down for video . Betsy Davies (pictured) watched an online video tutorial before being asked to hack into a Wi-Fi hotspot. It took the seven-year-old 11 minutes to infiltrate the network by setting up a rogue access point - frequently used by attackers to activate a ‘man in the middle’ attack, and begin eavesdropping on - or ‘sniffing’ - traffic . Experts predict that attacks on free, public Wi-Fi networks will rise in 2015. An investigation by 5 News earlier this week found that hackers can force customers in a café to switch their phones from a legitimate Wi-Fi network to a fake one, without them knowing. This made it possible for thieves to access phones, hack email accounts, steal login details, track people's movements and access online bank accounts. To put these dangers into perspective, virtual private network (VPN) provider Hidemyass.com (HMA) recruited a child to attack a public network. Betsy Davies from Dulwich in South London hacked a willing participant’s laptop while they were connected to an open Wi-Fi network. Sniffing/eavesdropping: The method of passively listening to data on the network without the users knowledge by tricking the network into passing all data through the hacker’s computer first. Man in the middle attack: A method used to intercept traffic between a user’s device and the destination system, such as the café offering the Wi-Fi, making a victim’s machine think the hacker’s machine is the access point to the Internet. DNS cache poisoning: A method of attack whereby ‘updated’ data is used to enable the hacker to divert the traffic to the hacker’s destination of choice. Rogue Access Points/Rogue APs: Wireless access points installed on a company’s network without the company’s knowledge. These access points override the legitimate network thereby allowing the hacker to perform a man in the middle attack and intercept data. Unsecured Wi-Fi network: An unsecured Wi-Fi network is a wireless network that doesn’t request the user to log into it via the use of a username and password. These are usually displayed as OPEN networks. WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy: The first wireless security scheme developed, it was designed to provide security that was essentially equivalent to the privacy that was enjoyed in a wired environment. This is the least secure type of wireless network available. WPA - Used Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP): This protocol further improves the security of WEP without the need to buy new hardware. It still uses WEP for encryption, but it makes the attacks used to crack WEP a bit more difficult and time-consuming. WPA2-PSK: This is the next level up from WPA and was designed for the home and small businesses . As the name implies, the new version uses a pre-shared key (PSK). This has become standard that is now used by most households today. WPA2-AES: This is a version of WPA2 used by businesses. It uses the Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, to encrypt data and is the most secure. It's often coupled with a RADIUS server that is dedicated for authentication. RADIUS - Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS): A networking protocol that provides centralised Authentication, Authorisation, and Accounting management for users who connect and use a network service within a business. These users are authenticated against the company systems for added protection. Channels: Wireless networks use Channels which are separated out so that various communication streams don't interfere with each other. The 802.11 wireless standard allows for channels ranging from 1 thru 14. Brute-force attack: A method in which a hacker will try and break the password by continuously attempting to log in with different credentials until they find one that works. It could take hours, days or months depending upon the complexity of the password being used. Dictionary attack: A method used to ry and break the password of a user or wireless device by going through all the words in a dictionary, trying each one in turn until it finds a password which works. Virtual private network (VPN): A VPN is a way of using the public internet like a secure private network. It encrypts data and routes it through remote servers, keeping the activity and location private and secure. Rogue Access Points are wireless access points, installed on a company’s network without the company’s knowledge. Ms Davies began by searching for, and watching, a freely available video tutorial detailing how to hack a network - a Google search returns over 11 million results, and YouTube lists 14,000 tutorials (pictured) She began by searching for, and watching, a freely available video tutorial detailing how to hack a network - a Google search returns over 11 million results, and YouTube lists almost 14,000 tutorials. The schoolgirl then set up a Rogue Access Point - frequently used by attackers to activate what is known as a ‘man in the middle’ attack, and began eavesdropping on, or ‘sniffing’ traffic. Rogue Access Points are wireless access points, installed on a company’s network without the company’s knowledge. According to follow-up research, nearly two thirds (59 per cent) of people regularly use unsecure, or ‘open’ Wi-Fi hotspots with one in five (20 per cent) doing so weekly or more. Among those who use these unsecured networks, 19 per cent log on to online banking and 31 per cent send emails and personal documents . These access points override the legitimate network, allowing the hacker to launch an attack and intercept data. During this hack, Ms Davies was effectively sitting between the legitimate Wi-Fi network and the customer’s laptop, which is why it is dubbed a ‘man in the middle’ attack. Ensure a network is genuine: Check the name of the network with a shop worker. Check the lock: Secure websites display a green padlock symbol, also known as Https. Make sure this is present when using a site that handles personal data and avoid accessing sensitive documents or pages using public Wi-Fi. Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN): Not all sites display the Https lock symbol, but a VPN will act as an intermediary between the device and the internet server. Downloading an app? Check permissions: Before installing, make sure apps can't access unnecessary information. For example, a drawing app shouldn't need a contacts list. Forget the network: When leaving a publich network, don’t just log off, ask the device to forget the network so it doesn’t automatically log on when in range later. The experiment was overseen by independent online security expert Marcus Dempsey. He is hired by companies to check the robustness of their network systems. ‘The results of this experiment are worrying but not entirely surprising,’ said Mr Dempsey. ‘I know just how easily a layman can gain access to a stranger’s device, and in an age where children are often more tech-literate than adults, hacking can literally be child’s play.’ ‘Adults need to get their heads around online security basics - and stick to them whenever they connect to an unsecure network. ‘As for children, while it’s admirable educators are focusing on skills like coding, it’s important to teach them about the dangers that lurk online, as well instilling a clear sense of the ethics – just as we did with the child that participated in this experiment. ‘After all, as easily as one can now code a computer game, so one can fall into the dark world of hacking.’ A recent Cabinet Office report revealed more than half of people in the UK have fallen victim to cybercriminals. According to follow-up research by HMA, nearly two thirds (59 per cent) of people regularly use unsecure, or ‘open’ Wi-Fi hotspots with one in five (20 per cent) doing so weekly or more. An investigation by 5 News earlier this week found that hackers can force customers in a café to switch their phones from a legitimate Wi-Fi network to a fake one, without them knowing. This made is possible for thieves to access phones, hack emails, steal login details, track people's movements and access bank accounts . Among those who use these unsecured networks, 19 per cent log on to online banking and 31 per cent send emails and personal documents. Cian McKenna-Charley, marketing director at HMA added: ‘The image of cyber criminals hiding in a dark room in some far-flung part of the world is antiquated - they are just as likely to be sitting next to you in a coffee shop or public library. ‘And if a child can perform a basic hack on a Wi-Fi network in minutes, imagine the damage a professional criminal hacker could do.’ | Experts predict a rise in criminals hacking ‘free Wi-Fi’ in 2015 .

By . Mark Duell . PUBLISHED: . 14:58 EST, 16 June 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 01:51 EST, 17 June 2013 . Amateur film-makers will soon be able to give footage an age rating when posting it on YouTube. A project - which will have three traffic light classifications of green, amber and red - is aiming to cut down on the amount of harmful and inappropriate content that can be seen by children online. When amateur film-makers post clips online, they will be able to give them ratings corresponding to British Board of Film Classification levels - grouped into the three sets of U/PG, 12/15 and 18/R18. Protecting children: Videos such as this one filmed during the London riots of 2011 may be subject to an 'amber' rating because they could be distressing for younger viewers .

Video websites - not restricted to YouTube - would also be able to allow viewers to comment on how films were rated, which could alert users and national authorities to any serious mistakes. The idea of a do-it-yourself rating system for uploaded videos was formed though discussions between the BBFC and classification bodies in Italy and the Netherlands, reported The Observer. ‘This is a service we want to offer,’ BBFC policy spokesman David Austin told the newspaper. ‘We already classify some 10,000 videos and films that are submitted to us for release every year. ‘We will be using much the same classification model in the pilot for user-generated content.’ The extraordinary number of videos uploaded to YouTube and other video sharing websites every day has made it impossible for any regulatory board to watch all the footage themselves.

But the idea for an online questionnaire about the content uploaded by an amateur producer was formed after conversations with the Dutch film regulator, reported The Observer. The BBFC said that the questionnaire results will mean ‘different things in different countries’ - such as users in the Netherlands not worrying so much about bad language, compared to the British. It is expected that the system will be tested from this summer. Access that children can get to inappropriate online content is a concern for many parents.

A 1-year-old boy who plummeted two stories from a fire escape in Brooklyn on Wednesday was saved when a quick-thinking passerby saw the child and caught him as he fell, according to police. The woman who caught the baby is Cristina Torre, daughter of famed Major League Baseball manager and former National League All-Star catcher Joe Torre. Joe Torre: Baseball champ and domestic abuse survivor . The boy crawled through the window of a second-story apartment after pushing aside a piece of cardboard that blocked an opening beside the apartment's air conditioning unit, according to NYPD Detective James Duffy. He then climbed onto the fire escape and fell onto the awning of a frozen yogurt shop directly below the apartment and bounced off, Duffy said. That was when 44-year-old Cristina Torre, who happened to be passing by, saw the situation and positioned herself beneath the awning in time to catch the child, Duffy said. The boy was taken to Lutheran Medical Center in Brooklyn and was in stable condition, Duffy said. Joe Torre released a statement Wednesday night saying, "I am very proud of my daughter Cristina's actions today during an incident in Brooklyn involving a small child. Fortunately for that child she was in the right place at the right time to lend a hand." The boy's parents were charged with child endangerment, Duffy said.

By . Pa Reporter . Real Madrid's plans to remodel their Bernabeu stadium were thrown into doubt on Friday after a court in the Spanish capital suspended an agreement between the club and the city government that is crucial to the project. The court ruled that the deal between Real and the Madrid council, which would allow land adjacent to the stadium to be incorporated into the stadium overhaul, should be suspended because the European Commission is examining it for possible illegal state aid. The Commission said in December when it announced its investigation that the property deal appeared 'very advantageous'.

On tour: Real Madrid and stars including Gareth Bale (left) are currently In the United States for pre-season . 'The court is adopting the (suspension) measure due to the launching of a process by the European Commission relating to possible state aid given to Real Madrid,' the Madrid court said in a statement. Real did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment on the court's ruling. Real, the world's richest club by income, chose a design led by German architects GMP for the remodelling of the Bernabeu at an estimated cost of £320million.

(CNN) -- American Airlines announced Tuesday it will resume commercial flights into Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Friday, making it the first airline to do so. Commercial flights ended on January 12, when a 7.0-magnitude earthquake killed more than 200,000 people and damaged many of the country's buildings, including some at Toussaint Louverture International Airport, in the capital. The first flight will depart Miami International Airport in Florida at 6:40 a.m., arriving at 8:35 a.m. in Port-au-Prince, American Airlines said in a news release. "This is that crack in the dam that we so badly needed and our passengers so badly wanted, to start moving regularly scheduled traffic into and out of Haiti," spokesman Tim Smith told CNN Radio. "We'll start out with three main flights a day from south Florida, two from Miami and one from Fort Lauderdale. Then we'll also fly a JFK New York flight into Haiti four days a week." Smith said that, despite damage to the airport, the airline was prepared to deal with passengers. "One of the things we did very soon after the earthquake is that, as we were going in carrying relief supplies, we also sent in some American employees and folks from a construction firm that we worked with on the mainland to actually begin working to repair our facilities there at the Port-au-Prince terminal." Haitian customs officials will work out of a cargo facility because of damage at the main terminal, Smith said. "These flights serve as major milestones toward helping the country rebuild," Peter Dolara, American's senior vice president for Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America, said in the news release. "With commercial air service restored, we can better connect loved ones and provide consistent transportation to and from Haiti." Also beginning March 12, American Eagle will commence new service into Port-au-Prince from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and daily flights from the Dominican Republic cities of Santo Domingo and Santiago. "We have begun our journey to recover from the catastrophic earthquake, but with support from companies like American Airlines, we hope it won't be nearly as long," said Ralph Latortue, consul general of Haiti in Florida. American has served Haiti since 1971 and employs more than 100 people in Port-au-Prince, according to the airline. Since the day after the earthquake, American Airlines and American Eagle have continued flying into and out of Haiti -- carrying relief workers, medical personnel, humanitarian aid and evacuating hundreds of people. A spokeswoman for Spirit Airlines, which had a daily flight from Fort Lauderdale to Port-au-Prince, said the company was working to gain approval to resume its flights beginning Friday. "We're awaiting the response from the airport," said spokeswoman Misty Pinson. A spokesman for Delta Air Lines said it was working with Haitian authorities to reinstate service "as quickly as possible." The work on the American Airlines terminal was carried out by Odebrecht, a Sao Paulo, Brazil-based construction company that built American's terminal at Miami International Airport, said spokeswoman Renata Pinheiro. A cargo building that was undamaged by the earthquake was transformed into a terminal, and immigration and customs services were located there, she said. A terminal that suffered only minor damaged was fixed. "It wasn't a reconstruction of the airport itself, it was really making it operational," she said about the effort. The company's workforce of 75 included 30 Haitian baggage handlers who "became construction helpers," she said. "Odebrecht's people trained them to do welding and painting. The really cool thing that we're super happy about is the fact that the whole thing came about in just three weeks." Among the toughest challenges was finding construction supplies, the company said in a news release. Odebrecht solved that by obtaining materials in Puerto Rico and sending them by barge to the Dominican Republic, then moving them by truck to the Haitian capital. "This has been a genuine labor of love, but also one of absolute commitment," said Antonio Pinto, Odebrecht's project executive in Haiti. "In the most basic human terms, it is essential to reopen this airport and to reconnect the people of Haiti with their families and friends abroad." The company's other projects include rebuilding and fortifying levees in New Orleans, Louisiana, under contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. | American will resume service Friday morning .

The coastal marshes of Essex are disappearing rapidly, with up to 60 per cent having been eroded by the sea in the last 20 years. One aim of the Essex Wildlife Trust's farm was to recreate some of these lost saltmarsh habitats, which are vital for the future of both wildlife and people. In particular, the marshes are of international importance for migrating birds, which come in their thousands to the Essex Coast. The site is also home to a large number of herring, young bass, and 14 other types of fish feeding in the creeks within the marshes. The stunning aerial shots were captured by Terry Whittaker as part of the 2020Vision project.

By . Anna Edwards . A widow has spoken for the first time about the horrific death of her husband who was eaten by his friends after the party got lost at sea in bitter temperatures for nearly two months. Olga Kurochkin, 37, said her life had been ruined by the terrible fate of Andrei whose remains were found in the pitiless eastern reaches of Siberia. Two members of the four-strong party survived the ordeal and, after carrying the head of 44-year-old Mr Kurochkin through the wild, told police they had eaten the man from Saratov after he froze to death. Forensic analysis of Mr Kurochkin's body parts revealed that sections of flesh had been carefully sliced away while joints had been butchered. Andrei's heartbroken wife Olga (pictured on their wedding day) said: 'I never expected such horror could come into my life' after she learned what had happened to her spouse . Olga (pictured with daughter Alyona and husband Andrei) says that her life has been totally ruined and that she only has a few remains of her partner . Speaking to The Siberian Times Mrs Kurochkin said: 'I never expected such horror could come into my life. It has ruined . not just my life, but also the lives of all our relatives, and we are a . big family. 'Can you imagine what I have left? One foot with toes, one finger, and the back of his skull with some hair. 'This is it. This is all I have left . from the man I loved. Having just these remains, how can I say goodbye . to him? I have got almost nothing to cry over. 'I can't think about it, I am losing my mind with this.' Mrs Kurochki, who has a daughter Alyona, 21, is suing survivors Alexander Abdullaev, 37, and Alexei . Gorulenko, 35, for emotional distress. She also wants a criminal prosecution brought against them. 'I don't want to suspect them of murder, this would be just . too much,' she added. 'But I do want them to be punished for what they did, because it is just outrageous to leave it like this. 'Now I want these cannibals to be punished. I fear our police is not keen to investigate this case properly. 'Our law does not say a word about . cannibalism, it is not a crime, so our two survivors can be punished . only for defiling a body and perhaps leaving a human being in danger. 'The . (police) report did not leave me any hope, now I can be sure my husband . Andrei is dead and his body was found there in the taiga. 'I am sure they have eaten him. Now we know that Andrei died somewhere else and they dragged the body . all the way through the snow, eating it step by step. 'But together with the remains of my husband there were also found the bones of animals. 'If they could kill animals, why would they need to try eating a human body? And why did they carry his head with them?' Mr Kurochkin set out with his friends from Dipkun village, Amur region, on an epic fishing trip-of-a-lifetime to eastern Siberia on August 8 last year. Survivors Alexei Gorulenko (pictured) and Alexander Abdullaev are being sued for emotional distress by Olga Kurochkin after they admitted to eating him . Olga and her daughter will have to live with the gruesome fact of how Andrei died . Catastrophe struck early in to their . trip when their jeep sunk in a frozen river leaving the party stranded . in one of the most isolated spots in the world. All . four took refuge in a remote hunting lodge, which they used as a base . for a number of weeks, until they exhausted its food supplies. They . did not seem in any rush to escape from the taiga, despite losing their . fishing tackle and the vehicle, in which they had often slept. During . this period they encountered a number of hunters who had vehicles and . walkie-talkies. At least one let them use his satellite phone. As conditions worsened they began walking back to civilisation at the beginning of October. They left a note in a hunter's house saying they had sheltered under the owner's roof and eaten all his food. They also left 3,000 roubles – around £60. Their progress back to civilisation was haphazard. Had . they been fit and properly equipped, they could have covered the . distance in a matter of days, even with the snow and sub-zero . temperatures. But it took almost seven weeks before two of them were found some nine miles from Dipkun. In . this time it is known all four took refuge in another empty hunter’s . shack near the Daurka River, an area described by locals as lonely and . macabre. In recent years, seven dead bodies have been found there. They were found in the Sakha Republic by a Russian Emergencies Ministry rescue helicopter which saved their lives. Abdullaev eventually confessed to the authorities that they had eaten Mr Kurochkin. 'He died by himself. He froze to . death. Only after that did we start eating him,' Abdullaev told . Neryungri police in the Sakha Republic. 'At one point they were surviving on moss and sawdust. A lie detector test proves they were desperate,' said one official. While he is now assisting investigators, Gorulenko escaped first . to Chita, then Moscow, and then vanished altogether ten days ago, say . reports. The other fisherman in the group Viktor Komarov, 47, has still not been found. Survivors Alexander Abdullaev and Alexander Abdullaev (pictured being rescued) had been missing for nearly two months after their jeep sunk in a frozen river stranding the ice-fishing party in one of the most isolated spots in the world .

A federal judge in Brooklyn, New York, has ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to make the morning-after birth control pill available to people of any age without a prescription. The order overturned a 2011 decision by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to require a prescription for girls under 17. The FDA said it couldn't comment on an ongoing legal matter. But the U.S. Justice Department indicated an appeal of the ruling was under consideration. "The Department of Justice is reviewing the appellate options and expects to act promptly," department spokeswoman Allison Price said. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommended last year that oral contraceptives be sold over the counter in an effort to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies in the United States. Opponents of prescription requirements say prescriptions can delay access to the drug. In 2011, Teva Women's Health Inc., maker of Plan B One-Step, had asked the FDA to make the drug available without prescription to all sexually active girls and women. Sebelius overruled the FDA's recommendation, saying, "I do not believe enough data were presented to support the application." On Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Edward Korman said in his order, "The decisions of the Secretary with respect to Plan B One-Step and that of the FDA with respect to the Citizen Petition, which it had no choice but to deny, were arbitrary, capricious, and unreasonable." Friday's order came in response to a lawsuit launched by the Center for Reproductive Rights. The group was seeking to expand access to all brands of the morning-after pill over the counter, such as Plan B One-Step and Next Choice, so that women of all ages would be able to purchase them without a prescription. "Today science has finally prevailed over politics," Nancy Northup, the center's president and CEO, said in a statement. "This landmark court decision has struck a huge blow to the deep-seated discrimination that has for too long denied women access to a full range of safe and effective birth control methods." In a press briefing, Northup said that according to the order, within 30 days, the pill would be available over the counter without "point of sale restrictions," such as needing to show identification or being a certain age. There may be other settings besides drugstores where the morning-after pill will be sold, Susan Wood, associate professor at the George Washington University's School of Public Health and Health Services, told reporters. "We no longer have to find, on a Sunday morning or a Saturday night, an open pharmacy counter with a pharmacist on duty," she said. The American Society for Reproductive Medicine also supported the decision, applauding the stance that "science should guide policy." But other groups, including the Family Research Council, expressed concerns about the order. "There is a real danger that Plan B may be given to young girls, under coercion or without their consent. The involvement of parents and medical professionals act as a safeguard for these young girls. However, today's ruling removes these common-sense protections," Anna Higgins, director of the organization's Center for Human Dignity, said in a statement. Bill Donohue of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights also disagreed with the ruling, citing what he sees as a "contempt shown for parental rights." "A 12-year-old girl in a New York City school cannot be given an aspirin by her teacher, even if she has a fever. The same girl cannot buy a large soda during lunchtime because Mayor Michael Bloomberg has decreed that it is not good for her. But she can be given a pill, unbeknownst to her parents, that could arguably abort her baby," he said in a statement. The FDA approved Plan B in 1999. The key ingredient in Plan B is a synthetic hormone called levonorgestrel. This drug stops an egg from being released from the ovary, or preventing fertilization of the egg by sperm. If there has been fertilization, Plan B may prevent a fertilized egg from embedding in the uterus. But if the egg has already been implanted in the uterus, the morning-after pill will not work. Emergency contraceptives are intended for use within 72 hours after sex but are most effective if taken within 24 hours. Many developed countries require a prescription for oral contraceptives, including Canada and most of Europe, but other countries sell the pill without a prescription even formally or informally. A 2012 study in the journal Pediatrics found that there is misinformation about emergency contraception, including about what age women can obtain it without a prescription, and who can take it in general. As far as pricing, the morning-after pill goes for about $50, said Susannah Baruch, interim president and CEO of Reproductive Health Technologies Project. | NEW: Justice Department "reviewing the appellate options," spokeswoman says .

One of the longest serving inmates on death row, who snatched a ten-year-old girl as she rode her bike to school and then took her to an orange grove to beat her and cut her throat, was executed last night by lethal injection. Larry Eugene Mann, 59, was pronounced dead at 7:19 pm on Wednesday night at Florida State Prison in Starke, outside of Tampa, after a judge overturned a last-minute, final appeal.

Elisa Nelson, 10, had been riding her bicycle to school when she was abducted by Mann, taken to an orange grove, and killed . The convicted killer, when asked if he had any last words, told a prison officer: ‘Uh, no sir,’ according to the Tampa Bay Times.

After slitting the girl's throat, Mann bashed her head in with a pole before going home and trying to commit suicide by slitting his wrists, telling the responding police officers he had 'done something stupid'. An autopsy later showed that Elisa died from the blunt force trauma from the pole, which had a concrete block at one end.

Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- Police raided a major methamphetamine lab in an Atlanta, Georgia, suburb, discovering a large amount of crystal meth and liquid methamphetamine oil, they said Tuesday. "This is believed to be one of the largest methamphetamine confiscations in the United States," according to a statement from Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Edwin Ritter. A total of 933 pounds of methamphetamine with an estimated street value of $44,641,000 was recovered during the raid Monday afternoon, officials said. Ritter said Jose Galvez-Vela, 33, of Weslaco, Texas, is in custody and has been charged with trafficking methamphetamine. Police requested assistance from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration "due to the size of this lab and extremely hazardous situation," according to the statement. The two agencies removed large qualities of the chemicals from a home in Norcross, Georgia, after police obtained information regarding its production, the statement said. Authorities say the home does not appear to have had anyone living in it and was used strictly for the production of methamphetamine. | NEW: Jose Galvez-Vela, 33, charged with trafficking methamphetamine .

(CNN) -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill late Monday that would have required President Barack Obama and other presidential candidates to prove they were American citizens, born in the United States, before their names could have been placed on the state ballot. The so-called "birther bill" got final approval in the state House last week. Now that Brewer, a Republican, has vetoed it, the bill will not become law unless legislators vote to override her veto. "As a former Secretary of State, I do not support designating one person as a gatekeeper to the ballot for a candidate, which could lead to arbitrary or politically-motivated decisions," the governor wrote in a letter addressed to the Arizona House speaker. Under the measure, if there were any dispute about whether a candidate had proved he or she had been born in the United States, Arizona's secretary of state would have the final say. "This measure creates significant new problems while failing to do anything constructive for Arizona," she added. Obama has been hounded by allegations since he began running for president in 2008 that he was not born in America. Critics contend, among other things, that he was born in his father's home country of Kenya. The U.S. Constitution stipulates that only "natural born" citizens are eligible to be president. Obama has insisted that he was born in Hawaii, and the allegations against him have been repeatedly discredited in investigations by CNN and other organizations. Nevertheless, the issue remains politically potent among segments of the electorate and has served as a rallying cry for many of the president's opponents, most recently potential GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. William Bennett's take on Donald Trump . The author of the so-called "birther bill," Arizona State Rep. Carl Seel, has said the bill was not targeted at Obama, but at "maintaining the integrity of the Constitution." Among other things, a candidate would have to show a copy of his or her birth certificate. If a birth certificate couldn't be produced, a candidate would have to show a combination of baptismal or circumcision records, hospital birth files, postpartum medical records or other documents. Candidates also would have to submit affidavits declaring their citizenship as well as sworn statements regarding their residency for the previous 14 years. "I never imagined being presented with a bill that could require candidates for President of the greatest and most powerful nation on earth to submit their 'early baptismal or circumcision certificates' among other records to the Arizona Secretary of State. This is a bridge too far," wrote Brewer. Fourteen other states are considering similar legislation this year, according to Jennie Bowser, a senior fellow with the National Conference of State Legislatures. Measures have failed in three states -- Connecticut, Maine and Montana. Obama's sister criticizes 'birthers' In an effort to counter the charges of the birthers, Obama's 2008 campaign produced a "certification of live birth," a document traditionally accepted legally as confirmation of a birth. Both the current Hawaii governor, Neil Abercrombie, a Democrat, and the previous governor, Linda Lingle, a Republican, have insisted that Obama was born in their home state. Nearly 75% of Americans believe Obama was definitely or probably born in the United States, according to a March 11-13 CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll. More than four in 10 Republicans, however, believe the president probably or definitely was not born in America. | Gov. Jan Brewer says the bill is "a bridge too far"

Just a stepping stone... A woman models Google Glass, which is being trialled across the U.S. Google hopes one day to use microchips in users' brains . Online advertising giant Google's new wearable accessories are merely a stepping stone to its ultimate ambition - a microchip which can be embedded in users' brains. The company, which uses its search, email and other services to funnel personalised advertising to users, is currently trialling prototypes of its Glass device, which is worn like a pair of glasses. But Google is staking its future on a new service which will use the information it holds on registered users to automatically predict their search needs and present them with the data they want. The ultimate ambition is to literally get inside users' heads: using search queries to read their thoughts and then fulfilling their data needs by sending results directly to microchips implanted into people's brains. Ben Gomes, Google's Vice-President of Search told The Independent that the sinister-sounding vision is far from a sci-fi fantasy and that research had already begun with such chips to help disabled people steer their wheelchairs. 'They are getting a few senses of direction with the wheelchair but getting from there to actual words is a long ways off,' he said. 'We have to do this in the brain a lot better to make that interaction possible. We have impatience for that to happen but the pieces of technology have to develop.' But standing in the way of this ambition is a major civil liberties backlash over claims that Google has conspired with U.S. authorities to open a 'back door' to data it holds on its hundreds of millions of users, allowing spies to monitor their online activities. The company, whose 'Don't be evil' motto has long attracted derision from privacy campaigners, is alleged to have allowed analysts from the National Security Agency to 'mine' the terabytes of personal information it holds. In the so-called PRISM programme, revealed last month in a series of articles in The Guardian, Google and a host of other Silicon Valley firms are alleged to have colluded with the U.S. domestic intelligence agency. As well as Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, YouTube, Skype, AOL, and Yahoo are alleged to have allowed agents access to their data to conduct surveillance on users without court orders. Tainted by scandal: Google faces a civil . liberties backlash over claims that it and other internet firms have . conspired with U.S. authorities to give spies a 'back door' to data it . holds on its hundreds of millions of users . Web-users who want to protect their privacy have been switching to a small unheard of search engine in the wake of the 'Prism' revelations. DuckDuckGo, the little known U.S. company, sets itself aside from its giant competitors such as Google and Yahoo, by not sharing any of its clients' data with searched websites. This means no targeted advertising and no skewed search results. Aside from the reduced ads, this unbiased and private approach to using the internet is appealing to users angered at the news that U.S. and UK governments (the National Security Agency (NSA) in the U.S. and GCHQ in the UK), have direct access to the servers of big search engine companies, allowing them to 'watch' users. Within just two weeks of the NSA's operations being leaked by former employee Edward Snowden, DuckDuckGo's traffic had doubled - from serving . 1.7million searches a day, to 3million.'We started seeing an increase right when the story broke, before we were covered in the press,' said Gabriel Weinberg, founder and CEO, speaking to The Guardian. Although strenuously denied by Google, the accusations contained in leaks by whistleblower Edward Snowden have provoked a crisis of trust in the company, as web users look for ways to surf the internet without being tracked. Nevertheless, Google sees its future in leveraging the the wealth of information it holds on its users to present them with ever more personalised services. Glass is merely a part of the company's wider information ecosystem, which it intends to exploit with a new service called Google Now, which will present users with a series of bespoke 'cards' as they log on. They will tell users the local weather, any problems they might face on their commute to work, details of meetings harvested from their Gmail accounts, their favourite sports teams latest results, and so on. The service is based on what Google calls its Knowledge Graph, a vast store of information which, The Independent reports, is growing at an 'exponential rate'. Just a year after the project's launch, Knowledge Graph is said to hold 18billion facts on around 570million subjects. The next step, Mr Gomes explained, is for this knowledge to be 'present everywhere'. Scott Huffman, Google's engineering director, continued the explanation. 'Fast forward a bit and… I think there is going to be a device in the ceiling with microphones, and it will be in my glasses or my wristwatch or my shirt,' he said. | Google faces major backlash over claims it colluded with U.S. authorities to open a 'back door' to users' personal information .

It's the picture no woman wants taken - semi-naked in bed after a night out, messy hair and make-up smeared across her face as she lies asleep. But more and more shameless men are sneakily snapping pictures of their sleeping one-night stands and posting them online for thousands of followers to see. The new social networking trend - dubbed #bedofshame - has emerged on Twitter and has left women across the land reeling. Trend: A man pulls a face on his camera with a women asleep in the the background and posts it on Twitter . Thumbs up: Men pose next their sleeping partners but the trend has not impressed many women . Geordie Shore reality TV star Gary Beadle unwittingly sparked #bedofshame a few days ago but today he apologised after his comment prompted a furious online backlash. He inspired the trend when he asked his 500,000 followers: 'How many people r doing the walk of shame hahahaha #wakeupwitharandom #awkwardtaxihome.' Just seconds later responses poured in with hundreds of men posting photos of their . half-dressed 'conquests' sleeping in the background. Popular: Two men lie next to sleeping blondes. Geordie Shore star Gary Beadle sparked the trend last month . Many were smiling and were pictured with their thumbs up. Beadle has since been dubbed a 'hero' and 'legend' by his Twitter fans. However, in a statement today he urged people to delete the images after some women branded it 'sickening' and 'disgusting'.

Having just become the highest scoring foreign born player in NBA history, Dirk Nowitzki would be forgiven for looking ahead to his next personal milestone. The Dallas Mavericks power forward leapfrogged Hakeem Olajuwon into ninth place on the NBA's all-time scoring list on Tuesday night, the highest among international players. It's an achievement that Nowitzki is proud of having spent his entire NBA career with Dallas after moving to the States from Germany when he was 20 years old. But his next goal is not surpassing Elvin Hayes in eighth place on the all-time scoring list, it's a second NBA title with the Mavericks. 'When you’re still playing it is more about winning and being on a good team,' he said. 'These other milestones are going to be great in 10 or 20 years when I look back at my career and show them to my daughter and maybe my grandkids one day. 'Right now I’m still working on playing at a high level and chasing my dream – which is another championship.' Dirk Nowitzki became the highest scoring international player in NBA history . The 36-year-old German is a 12-time NBA All Star and his individual accolades also include an MVP crown in 2007 and Finals MVP in 2011, the year Dallas beat the Miami Heat to be crowned NBA champions. Despite all he has achieved individually with both the Mavericks and Germany, that solitary NBA title remains Nowitzki's career highlight. It speaks volumes for a man who has become the ultimate team player and a legend in Dallas. 'I play in a team sport and winning a championship is the ultimate,' Nowitzki said. 'I worked so hard and in 2011 everything came together. We achieved our goal. 'I never wanted to see myself as a big-time scorer who shoots every ball. I want to be efficient and wanted to come through for my team when counted on. Hopefully I can still do that over the next couple years and play at a high level with a good team. The Dallas Mavericks forward moved above Hakeem Olajuwon into ninth place in the all-time scoring list . Nowitzki has spent his entire NBA career with Dallas and won the NBA title in 2011 . 1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 38,387 . 2. Karl Malone 36,928 . 3. Michael Jordan 32,292 . 4. Kobe Bryant 31,887* . 5. Wilt Chamberlain 31,419 . 6. Shaquille O'Neal 28,596 . 7. Moses Malone 27,409 . 8. Elvin Hayes 27,313 . 9. Dirk Nowitzki 26,953* . 10. Hakeem Olajuwon 26,946 . *still active, as of Tuesday 11 November . 'The last couple of years after winning the championship have been tough. We didn’t even make the play-offs one year. That was one of the reasons why I took a huge pay cut this summer, so we can get a good team in here.' Nowitzki continued: 'I came here a long time ago not knowing what to expect when I was 20 years old and Dallas embraced me. The people here were always kind and supported me and it felt like a second home. 'I missed Germany a lot in the beginning, but I found a new home here and it would not have felt right to go and play somewhere else and put on a different uniform. I always wanted to be in Dallas. It has been a great ride and I wouldn’t have wanted to do it anywhere else but here. 'I lived with my parents for 20 years and when I came over I had a tough time adjusting and living by myself. It was a tough time but I had to get through it somehow. I just kept working to try and get better and learned some stuff from the older players. Mavericks fans celebrate Nowitzki's achievement against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday . 'But if someone would have told me 17 years ago that I would pass Hakeem Olajuwon, I would have said “you’re absolutely crazy”. It has been a fun ride with some great people and great supporters and the fans have been great for me all over the world.' Nowitzki hit a jumper from just inside the three-point line early in the fourth quarter of Dallas' 106-98 win over Sacremento on Tuesday to pass Olajuwon, and he finished the night at 26,953 career points - seven more than the Nigerian. 'I was kind of was aware that I wasn’t too far away,' Nowitzki said. 'But once the game was going on I was solely focussing on the next shot and trying to help the team win. It wasn‘t really in my mind during the game but I was definitely aware of it before. 'When I made the big shot I saw the crowd give me a standing ovation and then realised that was it. It was a very special moment to do it at home in front of the fans who have supported me in my 17 years here. 'They gave me a standing ovation and at the next timeout they showed a video in the big screen in honour of me. I had goose bumps.'

By . Associated Press . PUBLISHED: . 10:50 EST, 27 May 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 12:44 EST, 27 May 2013 . An outspoken Japanese politician apologized Monday for saying U.S. troops should patronize adult entertainment businesses as a way to reduce sex crimes, but defended another inflammatory remark about Japan's use of sex slaves before and during World War II. Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto, co-leader of an emerging nationalist party, said his remarks two weeks ago rose from a 'sense of crisis' about cases of sexual assaults by U.S. military personnel on Japanese civilians in Okinawa, where a large number of U.S. troops are based under a bilateral security treaty. Hashimoto also said he had not tried to condone a system of so-called comfort women, but meant to say military authorities at the time, not only in Japan but in many other countries, considered it necessary. Scroll down for video . Sorry I'm not sorry: Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto apologized to the U.S. military for saying soldiers should make use of brothels in Okinawa, while refusing to take back a comment on Japan's use of prostitutes in World War II . He denied any intention to avoid Japan's responsibility over its wartime actions, adding he wanted to shed light on sex offenses in the battlefield and encourage open debate on the problem today. 'I understand that my remark could be construed as an insult to the U.S. forces and to the American people' and was inappropriate, he told a news conference at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan in Tokyo. 'I retract this remark and express an apology.' Hashimoto, a lawyer and former TV personality, created an uproar with comments to journalists two weeks ago about Japan's modern and wartime sexual services, which he said were misquoted. The comments added to recent anger in neighboring countries that suffered from Japan's wartime aggression and have complained about a lack of atonement for the atrocities. Hashimoto said then that the practice of using women from across Asia to work in front-line brothels before and during World War II was necessary to maintain discipline and provide relaxation for soldiers. He added that on a recent visit to the southern island of Okinawa, he suggested to the U.S. commander there that his troops 'make better use' of the legal sex industry 'to control the sexual energy of those tough guys.' On Monday, Hashimoto called the use of comfort women an 'inexcusable act that violated the dignity and human rights of the women, in which large numbers of Korean and Japanese were included.' He did not mention women from other countries, such as China, the Philippines and Indonesia, where many teenagers were forced into sex slavery. Forgotten women: Hashimoto failed to mention the Chinese, Filipino, and Indonesian women also exploited as sex slaves during World War II. Above, Filipino former-comfort women march in 2004 to protest their wartime abuse . An 'inexcusable act': Historians estimate that the Japanese military forced up to 200,000 women to act as prostitutes during World War II . He said Japan must express deep remorse and apologize to the women. He repeatedly denied any intention to whitewash Japan's wartime responsibility. But he didn't apologize for those comments about Japan's wartime brothels, and insisted that the country's wartime government did not systematically force girls and women into prostitution. Historians say up to 200,000 women, mainly from the Korean Peninsula and China, were forced to provide sex for Japanese soldiers in military brothels. While some other World War II armies had military brothels, Japan is the only country accused of such widespread, organized sexual slavery. 'If only Japan is blamed because of the widely held view that the state authority of Japan was intentionally involved in the abduction and trafficking of women, I will have to inform you that this view is incorrect,' he said. Hashimoto urged the government to clarify or revise Japan's landmark apology in a 1993 statement by then-Chief Cabinet Secretary Yohei Kono to clearly state that Japan did not systematically force women into prostitution for its wartime military. The Kono apology acknowledged the military's involvement, both direct and indirect, in the forced recruitment of the women. Hashimoto said the apology does not say whether the operation was run under 'state will' and that such murkiness has contributed to longstanding disputes between Japan and South Korea over the issue. He raised doubts of accounts by some of the women who have come forward as victims of Japan's sexual slavery as reliable evidence of coercion. Before taking office in December, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe advocated revising the Kono apology, but now says he stands by it. Hashimoto said he was quoted out of context in saying he believed that the use the system was necessary. He said he was trying to say that armed forces around the world 'seem to have needed women' in past wars and had violated women's human rights during wartime. Singling out Japan was wrong, as this issue also existed in the armed forces of the United States, Britain, France, Germany and the former Soviet Union during World War II, he alleged, without elaborating. 'Based on the premise that Japan must remorsefully face its past offenses and must never justify the offenses, I intended to argue that other nations in the world must not attempt to conclude the matter by blaming only Japan and by associating Japan alone with the simple phrase of "sex slaves" or "sex slavery,"' Hashimoto said in a statement to journalists. Hashimoto's suggestion to the U.S. troops brought sharp criticism from Washington. The State Department called Hashimoto's comments 'outrageous and offensive.' Okinawa was invaded by U.S. forces in World War II and has had an American military presence since. The 1995 rape of a schoolgirl by two Marines and a sailor spread rage across the island, and more rapes and other crimes linked to U.S. servicemen over the years, along with military land use and aircraft noise, have caused longstanding anti-U.S. military sentiment there. Sense of crisis: Hashimoto made the comments because of a 'sense of crisis' over sex crimes committed by U.S. soldiers stationed in Okinawa, where there has been a U.S. military presence ever since World War II . Hashimoto, 43, has become well known in recent years for his outspokenness. Last year, he formed the Japan Restoration Party with former Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara, a strident nationalist. It is now an opposition party in parliament. | Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto took back his comment that U.S. soldiers stationed in Okinawa should use brothels in order to reduce sex crimes .

Boris Johnson could be catapulted to the heart of the Tory election campaign because he outpolls David Cameron. Conservative MPs liken Mr Johnson's appeal to lager brand Heineken, claiming he 'reaches the voters other politicians don't'. A new poll shows the London Mayor's personal ratings are much higher than leaders of the main parties, as he sets out his brand of 'elementary One Nation Conservatism'. A new YouGov poll for The Times shows how Mr Johnson's popularity outstrips other senior politicians . Mr Johnson is poised to return to the Commons in May as MP for the safe Tory seat of Uxbridge and Ruislip. But there are growing calls for him to front campaign events across the country in the run-up to polling day. When Chancellor George Osborne launched the 'long-term economic plan for London', he did so with Mr Johnson at his side and not the Prime Minister. A new YouGov poll for The Times shows how Mr Johnson's popularity outstrips other senior politicians. The survey of voters in London shows 63 per cent of voters think he is doing well in his job, while just 28 per cent say he is doing badly. In a boost for the Tories, his popularity is also high among Ukip voters – despite his often outspoken attacks on Nigel Farage's party. Some 60 per cent of Ukip supporters say Mr Johnson is doing well, with only 33 per cent saying badly. By comparison, national surveys show other leaders are less popular. The latest personal ratings for Mr Cameron 43 per cent think he is doing well, but 51 per cent said badly, a net score of minus 8. Ed Miliband has a net score of minus 46 per cent, with only 22 per cent saying he is doing well, while Nick Clegg has a net score of -51, with 19 per cent saying he is doing well. When Chancellor George Osborne launched the 'long-term economic plan for London', he did so with Mr Johnson at his side and not the Prime Minister . YouGov's Anthony Wells said Mr Johns has a 'remarkable ability to appeal across party lines.' 'He even manages to attract net approval ratings of 47 per cent from Ukip voters. It is little wonder calls are growing for him to be deployed on a national campaign.' Former Tory minister Stephen Hammond told The Times:: 'Boris is Heineken — he reaches the voters other politicians don't. The election is the politics of aspiration versus the politics of envy. Boris encapsulates the aspiration part of it and we should use him as a party in all sorts of parts of the country.' Others want him to play 'a prominent national role' in the campaign to project a more 'positive and optimistic voice'. Mr Johnson told the newspaper: 'All we're offering is a very simple prescription — to support wealth creation and business, but also make sure that the proceeds of that growth are used to help the poorest and the neediest.

By . Leesa Smith For Daily Mail Australia . An insulted mother has vowed to boycott a Sydney café after she claims she was told to leave because she had her 11 month-old son in a pram. Jessica Smith says her relaxing morning coffee date with a friend ended in complete humiliation when she was forced to leave the almost empty Gnome Café in Surry Hills after she said the manager told her there was no room for her baby’s pram. ‘I found it offensive and unreasonable – if it was a bar I would understand,’ the Redfern resident told Daily Mail Australia. ‘You would think that mums would be bread and butter for a lot of these places.’ Jessica Smith was kicked out of a cafe because her 11-month-old son Benjamin was in a pram (pictured) The Gnome cafe manager said parents and babies were always welcome but there was no space for prams in the small cafe in Surry Hills . The 35-year-old said she deliberately positioned the pram against a wall in a corner. ‘There was only one person sitting inside and one person on an outside table - then when I walked past an hour later there was no one in there,’ she said. She said will never go back to the cafe after the humiliating experience of being turfed out. Ms Smith was so gobsmacked by the incident that she posted her outrage on Facebook saying: ‘Wow, just told we can't have coffee at Gnome on crown because we have a baby with us! Won't be going back there.' The Gnome café manager declined to comment to Daily Mail Australia but replied to a friend of Ms Smith’s who complained on the cafe’s Facebook page. The manger said children of any age were welcome in the cafe but because it was small, there wasn't enough room for prams inside. But Ms Smith said it didn't make sense that prams were not allowed. ‘Essentially he could have asked us to go to an outside table if it was genuinely a space/business issue,' she said. Ms Smith's post sparked a similar reaction from other disgusted mothers . Ms Smith (pictured with her son Benjamin) was humiliated when she was told to leave the cafe . The post sparked a similar reaction from other disgusted mothers. One mother said that type of attitude went out ‘centuries ago’ while another described the incident as discrimination. Another suggested that ordering alcohol would have been met with a different response. ‘But I'm sure if you'd asked for a whiskey or wine they would have happily indulged!’ The woman said: ‘Shame on you for not allowing parents with babies to have coffee on your premises! Will make sure all my friends know about this and we certainly won't be visiting whether we have baby in tow or not!’ The manager’s responded to the comment explaining that although parents and children of any age were always welcome but ‘because we are a small cafe though we just don't have enough space to have prams inside.’ A friend of Ms Smith's was so outraged that she complained on the cafe's Facebook page . | A mother claims she was told to leave Sydney café because her son in a pram .

By . Ruth Styles . PUBLISHED: . 02:39 EST, 5 April 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 18:03 EST, 7 April 2013 . Given the recent horse meat scandal, you'd be forgiven for assuming that British diners would want to avoid meat that isn't beef, pork or chicken. But according to London restaurants, Wahaca and The Blues Kitchen, demand for exotic fare has increased so much, they've added some very unusual items to the menu. At Wahaca, a sustainable Mexican street food chain of restaurants, you can enjoy chapulines fundido - a Mexican delicacy that includes fried grasshoppers. Bugs: Wahaca's chapulines fundido, a Mexican delicacy that includes a side order of deep fried grasshopper . Not to be outdone, Camden's The Blues Kitchen has put fried alligator tail on the menu. According to the restaurant, this translates as 'tender pieces of alligator tail coated in Cajun panko bread crumbs, and served with fresh mint and sweet chili sauce.' Since the horse meat scandal broke, sales of exotic meats such as ostrich and kudu have shot up, according to the man behind a meat retailer that sells everything from camel to crocodile. ‘With all the media attention on horse meat, lots of people are curious to try new things,’ says Paul Webb, director of Exotic Meats. ‘We’ve seen sales increase tenfold in a week.' Kezie Foods, a Scottish supplier of exotic food stuffs has also seen sales go through the roof, according to company spokeman, Julia Toomey. ‘Kangaroo meat is a very popular alternative and is delicious,' she reveals. 'It is low in fat, high in protein and available in the same cuts as beef so can easily be substituted in a regular recipe or meal. Anyone for alligator? The Camden eatery has added a dish made with the scaly reptile to its menu . ‘There are many other alternative meats that are lean and healthy which taste great; springbok, venison, wildebeest and zebra, to name a few, are very popular.’ Like antelopes and zebra, Mexican grasshoppers and alligator tails are packed with protein and can be cooked in much the same way. What's more, say Wahaca, the percentage of protein in grasshoppers is far higher than in any other type of meat, boasting 60 per cent protein to just six per cent fat. But despite most Brits' aversion to creepie crawlies, Wahaca founder and chef Thomasina Miers says eating insects is no different to eating shrimps or prawns. 'It’s just not in our psyche at the moment', she says. 'The chapulines fundido is a great introduction to the beautiful earthy flavour of these insects as it tastes amazing and a salsa is much more palatable for the more squeamish diners out there.' 'Insects do not have to be a novelty food, they are packed full of protein, taste amazing and due to their farming methods are incredibly good for the environment.' Could you? Would you? Does a grasshopper snack sound like something you would want to eat? Tasty: Alligator meat is rubbery in texture and tastes like a bland, if slightly fishy, version of chicken . In Uganda, where I lived for two years, the onset of the long rains in March only ever meant one thing to locals: grasshopper time. For at least a month afterwards, you could expect to find an enterprising trader selling the bugs deep fried and breaded on every street corner - and they were never short of customers. One day, that crowd of buyers included me. The bag of bugs handed over by the smiling trader certainly smelled OK, tangy and rich, and very much like a deep fried prawn. They didn't taste as bad as expected. The texture was worse. It was a bit like chomping on a prawn with the shell left on - disgusting. The taste meanwhile, was a blandly juicy version of the same and badly needed its salt and breadcrumbs. The hardest part was trying not to think . about what it actually was - an insect that under normal circumstances . I'd have been more keen to squirt with bug repellent than eat. While it wasn't entirely revolting, I'm not anxious to repeat the experience. I can't say the same for crocodile, however. In Zimbabwe I was offered the chance to try some crocodile sausages, and having previously munched my way through platefuls of buffalo, springbok and kudu, I thought I'd give it a go. The sausages arrived, pale cream and glistening, and bore a worryingly close resemblance to Scottish white pudding. In the mouth, the flesh was slightly rubbery, similar to squid, and tasted like a bland, fishy version of chicken. The chef at Singita Pamushana safari lodge had made a heroic effort to spice it up with a delicious sauce and thanks to his work, the end result was pretty tasty. Like grasshoppers, it badly needed the extra salt and pepper, but unlike the bug, the squid like texture of crocodile is inoffensive. I'd like to try it again, but perhaps in steak form next time around... | Mexican restaurant Wahaca to serve fried grasshoppers .

If you are struggling to find the motivation to go to the gym this January, these honed and toned models may just give you the extra push you need. Whether they are covered in paint, handcuffed to a radiator or trailing a parachute, the stars of these high-octane ads for Equinox gyms provide some impressive fit-spiration. The campaign, shot by famed photographer Rankin, is an extension of last year's Equinox Made Me Do It adverts, and sees the models in a series of questionable situation. Scroll down for video . The hunky models in Equinox's Equinox Made Me Do It campaign will get you in the mood for hitting the gym . Hot hunks: The campaign stars a series of models all of whom have got into a bit of trouble . The idea of the campaign is that getting into shape can get you into a little bit of trouble. One shot features a woman with a freshly shaven head, razor in hand. Another captures a man in women’s clothes, staring proudly into the camera, and one depicts a man who has seemingly stolen a fountain. Carlos Becil, Chief Marketing Officer for the brand, said that the gym's members are the inspiration behind the campaign. 'Our members were the true inspiration behind the Equinox Made Me Do It campaign, and this year we saw an opportunity to evolve the narrative and the stories portrayed,' he said. 'Everything we do at Equinox is grounded in the idea of high-performance living, empowering our members to be bold, be risk takers and push their limits, inside and outside of the club. This campaign embodies that pride and the adventurous spirit that speaks to the idea that it's about more than just taking risks, it's about owning the consequences.' This model looks amazing as she drags a parachute behind her . This man might be carrying a pig but he certainly doesn't look like he has been pigging out . Rankin spoke of his pride at being involved in the campaign saying: 'I was excited about the prospect of creating their next campaign as it couldn’t have been closer to my style.' The British-born portrait and fashion photographer is well known for his exciting and enticing images, he has also shot a series of videos to promote the gym. During his extensive career he has shot famous faces such as Kate Moss, the late Michael Jackson, Robert Pattinson and Jay Z. Research says that more than two thirds of us will sign up to the gym this month in a bid to beat the Christmas bulge. However, more than a third of those people who sign up will have quit by the end of the year. Powerful: One of the images in the campaign shows a man standing proud in women's clothing, while another shows a woman who has stolen a tiger .

By . Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor . PUBLISHED: . 09:17 EST, 11 March 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 18:38 EST, 11 March 2013 . Labour attempts to split the coalition are in tatters tonight after the government agreed on an unprecedented fudge to spare the Liberal Democrats’ blushes. Ministers spent the day thrashing out a way to prevent Nick Clegg’s party from having to vote against his treasured Mansion Tax policy in a Commons vote being held by Labour tomorrow. Instead the Tories and Lib Dems will back an unprecedented amendment which admits David Cameron and Mr Clegg are at loggerheads over the proposal to impose a levy on homes worth more than £2million. Coalition split: David Cameron, pictured today leaving Downing Street, is opposed to an 'intrusive' Mansion Tax but Nick Clegg (right) wants the levy on homes worth more than £2million . This morning Lib Dem Business . Secretary Vince Cable hinted he would back Labour’s motion which called . for ‘a mansion tax on properties worth over £2million, to fund a tax cut . for millions of people on middle and low incomes’. But he backtracked tonight, insisting he could now support the government line. The coalition amendment, agreed just . hours before the deadline set by Commons officials, states that the . government has cut taxes for low and middle earners while ’at the same . time increasing taxes on the wealthy, including raising stamp duty on . expensive properties and restricting tax reliefs’. But in a highly unusual move, it goes on . to admit that the governing parties cannot agree on targeting . properties owned by the super-rich. It ’notes that both parts of the . Coalition continue to support tax cuts for people on low and middle . incomes... [and it] notes the part of the Coalition led by the Deputy . Prime Minister also advocates a Mansion Tax on properties worth more . than £2million, as set out in his party’s manifesto, and the part of the . Coalition led by the Prime Minister does not advocate a Mansion Tax’. A senior Lib Dem source said the . compromise was an 'ingenious solution' because neither coalition party . wanted to publicly back Labour in a Commons vote. The Lib Dems want to target high value properties, like these flats in Knightsbridge, but have been rebuffed by the Tories . Mr Cable said tonight that the Lib . Dems had refused to support a Labour motion 'designed exclusively to play . cynical party political games'. He added: ’Parties should be judged on . what they deliver on fairer taxes, rather than what they say about . them. In Government, Labour refused to back our mansion tax. ’In Government, Labour rubbished the . Liberal Democrat policy of a mansion tax. In Opposition, they have . simply copied it exactly in an attempt to fill in their blank piece of . paper where original policies should be.’ But the move attracted ridicule from Labour. Party politics: Labour leader Ed Miliband (right) and shadow chancellor Ed Balls are seeking to exploit coalition tensions with tomorrow's vote . Shadow treasury minister Chris Leslie . said: ’It would be astonishing if the Liberal Democrats failed to back a . straightforward motion supporting their long-held policy of a mansion . tax on properties over £2 million. ’The Liberal Democrats have a simple . choice – either they back the policy they set out in their manifesto and . which Nick Clegg made the centrepiece of the Eastleigh by-election . campaign or they don’t. No amount of wriggling or contortion can get . them out of that simple choice.’ The Tories have remained implacably opposed to the idea of an extra annual tax on homes worth more than £2million. Downing Street today said David . Cameron and George Osborne believe the levy would ‘be intrusive, . expensive to levy, raise little and the temptation for future . Chancellors to bring ever more homes into its net would be . irresistible’. Business Secretary Vince Cable drew up the Lib Dem policy on a mansion tax and said tonight the Lib Dems had refused to support a Labour motion 'designed exclusively to play cynical party political games' The Labour motion has been lifted from Lib Dem policy, piling pressure on Mr Clegg’s 57 MPs to side with Mr Miliband. The Lib Dems want to target high value properties but have been rebuffed by the Tories. The mansion tax was a Lib Dem . manifesto commitment at the last election and is being advocated by Mr . Clegg and Mr Cable in the current Budget negotiations. It would involve an annual one per . cent levy on homes worth more than £2 million. Owners would pay the tax . on the value of their home above £2 million. Someone living in a £3 . million property would pay £10,000 a year. But Downing Street warned Lib Dem ministers they could not vote for the Labour motion. Mr Cameron’s official spokesman said: . ‘The Prime Minister will expect, as always, Government ministers to . support the Government in all votes.’ He added: ‘The Prime Minister's view . (on a mansion tax) is the same as the Chancellor's, which he set out at . the end of last year. ‘The Chancellor said then that it was . intrusive, expensive to levy and raises little and that the temptation . for future chancellors to bring ever more homes into its net would be . irresistible.’ Asked if Mr Cameron had discussed the . vote with Mr Clegg, he said: ‘They talk about a wide number of things. I'm sure they also discussed this, yes.’ Only this morning, Mr Cable, who drew up the Lib Dem policy on a mansion tax, hinted he was minded to vote with Labour. He said he had not seen the wording of . the motion – which was published on Friday – but he would examine it . before deciding how to vote. ‘We’ll certainly have a look at it,’ he told BBC Radio 4. ‘We did come to this five years go and we did set . out the logic behind it and how it would practically operate and Labour . had an opportunity in government to do it, didn’t do it, we’re now three . years into the next Parliament, they’ve finally alighted on it, and if . it is a real commitment, I would certainly welcome that.’ | Labour try to engender Coalition split by forcing Commons vote on imposing a levy on high value homes .

Scientists have mapped the quietest places in America, as well as some of the noisiest. Researchers from the National Park Service collected more than 1.5million hours of acoustical monitoring data from around the country and found that the quietest areas were in national parks. The team found sound levels that are as quiet as before European colonization in some wild places of the country, according to Science. Scientists from the National Park Service used a computer program to map the noise levels throughout the entire country. This map shows the combined decibel levels from both natural and human-made noise, which ranged from below 30 decibels to above 60 . National parks, such as Yellowstone in Wyoming, Idaho and Montana, were the quietest places in the entire country, with low levels of human noise . While the most peaceful places saw less than 20 decibels of background noise on a typical summer day, places such as New York City can average up to 60 decibels. The map shows a stark difference between the noisy eastern half of the country and the West, where large swaths of land see measurements below 30 decibels. Noise is measured logarithmically in decibels, with a jet engine around 100 decibels, an office environment measured at about 60 and a whisper at 20. The quietest places in the US are found at the Rockies and westward, with secluded areas such as Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado leading the way. Haleakalā National Park in Hawaii was also among the quietest, lead author Dr Daniel Mennitt told Daily Mail Online. Urban environments and towns along the interstate system got the noisiest ratings, according to maps from a study by Dr Mennitt, Dr Ken Fristrup and Dr Lisa Nelson. Researchers have previously pointed out how long-term exposure to loud background noise can cause health problems. Dr Fristrup has said that constant noise may be creating a 'deaf generation' that is unable to use our bodies' ability to hear sounds far away. The researchers also made a map of the country's noise if humans were taken out of the equation (above). Large amounts of natural noise, which was mapped on a smaller scale than the total noise, was found in areas with rivers and insects, such as the Southeast . The naturally noisiest parts of the country include the area around the Mississippi River (pictured) while naturally quiet places were generally high,dry shrubland . However, the difference between the bustling East and the more peaceful West was not only limited to areas with large amounts of human development. A map of sounds created by natural sources, where scientists redid the map as if there were no people, also shows a country split in half. Warm areas in the Southeast and interior Midwest saw high values and appear in yellow, though the scale for the amount of noise is smaller than for when human sounds are included. Non-human noise came mostly from running water, rain and 'wind-induced vegetation sounds'. The wetlands and area around the Mississippi River also support a huge amount of wildlife and the constant buzz of insects can be heard even in areas with few or no people. Humans' contribution to the noise levels were mapped by subtracting the natural levels from the soundscape (seen above). Even areas without large human populations saw man-made noise from roads and airplanes flying overhead . Big cities such as New York (pictured) can see background noise levels as high as 60 decibels, roughly the same as an office environment or a conversation in a restaurant . The quietest places in terms of natural sounds were high, dry shrubland and barren, flat terrain'. Dr Mennitt and his team then measured the affect that humans have on the soundscape by finding the difference between the total noise and natural noise levels. Even remote spots saw some man-made noise, with the rumble of aircraft overheard destroying the natural stillness. Other patches of would-be quiet were also broken up by roads or other transportation networks. One aircraft can be heard 25 miles from from its path and cars can be heard six miles from the road, the study said. The largest areas without large amounts of unnatural noise were the Adirondacks in northern New York state and parts of the Rocky Mountains. Half of 'low impact' areas were in protected lands. The scientists were unable to collect data from every point in the entire country, and used Random Forest, a 'tree-based machine learning algorithm' to create their maps. Though the researchers originally began looking just at the country's national parks, their more recent research has included data from urban areas and airports. The noise study's combined map bears a striking resemblance to NASA's map of nighttime light, with much of the activity clustered around humans in big cities . | National Park Service scientists created maps of human and natural noise .
Quietest places are national parks such as Yellowstone; cities are loudest .
Some areas can be as quiet as they were before European colonization .

"day, places such as New York City can average up",
"to 60 decibels. The map shows a stark difference",
"between the noisy eastern half of the country and",

"noisiest ratings, according to maps from a study",
"by Dr Mennitt, Dr Ken Fristrup and Dr Lisa",

"how long-term exposure to loud background noise",
"can cause health problems. Dr Fristrup has said",
"that constant noise may be creating a 'deaf",
"generation' that is unable to use our bodies'",
"ability to hear sounds far away. The researchers",
"also made a map of the country's noise if humans",
"were taken out of the equation (above). Large",
"amounts of natural noise, which was mapped on a",
"smaller scale than the total noise, was found in",
"areas with rivers and insects, such as the",
"Southeast . The naturally noisiest parts of the",
"country include the area around the Mississippi",
"River (pictured) while naturally quiet places",
"were generally high,dry shrubland . However, the",
"difference between the bustling East and the more",
"peaceful West was not only limited to areas with",
"large amounts of human development. A map of",
"sounds created by natural sources, where",
"scientists redid the map as if there were no",
"people, also shows a country split in half. Warm",
"areas in the Southeast and interior Midwest saw",
"high values and appear in yellow, though the",
"scale for the amount of noise is smaller than for",
"when human sounds are included. Non-human noise",
"came mostly from running water, rain and",
"'wind-induced vegetation sounds'. The wetlands",
"and area around the Mississippi River also",
"support a huge amount of wildlife and the",
"constant buzz of insects can be heard even in",
"areas with few or no people. Humans' contribution",
"to the noise levels were mapped by subtracting",
"the natural levels from the soundscape (seen",
"above). Even areas without large human",
"populations saw man-made noise from roads and",
"airplanes flying overhead . Big cities such as",
"New York (pictured) can see background noise",
"levels as high as 60 decibels, roughly the same",
"as an office environment or a conversation in a",
"restaurant . The quietest places in terms of",
"natural sounds were high, dry shrubland and",
"barren, flat terrain'. Dr Mennitt and his team",
"then measured the affect that humans have on the",
"soundscape by finding the difference between the",
"total noise and natural noise levels. Even remote",
"spots saw some man-made noise, with the rumble of",
"aircraft overheard destroying the natural",
"stillness. Other patches of would-be quiet were",
"also broken up by roads or other transportation",
"networks. One aircraft can be heard 25 miles from",
"from its path and cars can be heard six miles",
"from the road, the study said. The largest areas",
"without large amounts of unnatural noise were the",
"Adirondacks in northern New York state and parts",
"of the Rocky Mountains. Half of 'low impact'",
"areas were in protected lands. The scientists",
"were unable to collect data from every point in",
"the entire country, and used Random Forest, a",
"'tree-based machine learning algorithm' to create",
"their maps. Though the researchers originally",
"began looking just at the country's national",
"parks, their more recent research has included",
"data from urban areas and airports. The noise",
"study's combined map bears a striking resemblance",
"to NASA's map of nighttime light, with much of",
"the activity clustered around humans in big",
"cities ."

By . Tim Shipman and Sara Malm . PUBLISHED: . 07:19 EST, 20 November 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 11:27 EST, 20 November 2013 . Warning: Gibraltar's chief minister Fabian Picardo has said Spain is no longer considered a 'friendly nation' Spanish vessels entering British territory near Gibraltar may come under fire as they are not identified as being from ‘a friendly nation,’ its chief minister said today. Fabian Picardo has warned that Spanish boats ‘may find themselves shot at’ if they continue to disregard Gibraltar’s marine borders. Mr Picardo also called for more senior assets from the British Royal Navy to be moved to the area. Warning that the Spanish ships could be seen as ‘terrorists’ he accused the country of ‘needling away at the United Kingdom and Gibraltar by taking such action’ in an interview with BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. This came as several Tories demanded a show of force against Spain yesterday after a Spanish vessel made a ‘provocative incursion’ into Gibraltar’s territorial waters. Britain summoned the Spanish ambassador for a dressing down after the ocean survey vessel spent 20 hours defying the Royal Navy’s demands that it depart, escalating the diplomatic tensions over the Rock. The incident was denounced in Britain as the ship withdrew last night. But Tory MP Colonel Bob Stewart, who . was the British United Nations commander during the Bosnian war, said . that if the Government is serious about defending Gibraltar’s . sovereignty it should send major combat units to deter Spanish . grandstanding. Former . Tory MP Louise Mensch added: ‘The next time a Spanish ship enters . Gibraltarian waters and refuses to leave after Royal Navy warnings we . should fire on them.’ The . long-standing dispute between Britain and Spain has flared up over the . past two years. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has blocked the . Spanish-Gibraltarian border and staged numerous incursions into . Gibraltarian waters. The . latest crisis occurred when a research vessel belonging to the Spanish . state, the RV Ramon Margalef, undertook significant surveying activity . in Gibraltar’s territorial waters. A . Royal Navy fast patrol boat was dispatched to order it to leave. A . video that appeared on Sky News showed the Spanish survey ship being . flanked by small inflatable Navy boats. Scroll down for video . Royal Navy patrol boat HMS Sabre (pictured) intercepted a Spanish survey ship and asked it to leave British Gibraltar waters, but it refused. The Spanish ambassador has now been summoned to explain . An audio recording that was also broadcast starts with the captain of the Ramon Margalef saying: ‘We have the permission of the Spanish authorities.’ An officer in one of the British boats . replies: ‘You are in British Gibraltar territorial waters. I consider . you to be violating the United Nations Convention on the Law of the . Sea, article one nine, governing the rights of passage. Your activities . are being recorded and reported via the national authorities. ‘You are to cease your ongoing activities and to leave British Gibraltar territorial waters immediately. Acknowledge.’ The . captain of the Spanish boat then responds: ‘Good afternoon, sir. We are . carrying out our survey work. We will continue with our work. We have . got the necessary permits from Spain to perform such work. Thank you.’ The . boat withdrew only after Spanish ambassador Federico Trillo was . summoned by Matthew Rycroft, Acting Permanent Under Secretary at the . Foreign Office – the third time he has been summoned over Gibraltar . since the current Spanish government took office in December 2011. Tensions have been high in the region since the summer when Spain imposed border checks on every car causing up to six hours of delays . Europe Minister David Lidington said: ‘I strongly condemn this provocative incursion and urge the Spanish government to ensure that it is not repeated. We stand ready to do whatever is required to protect Gibraltar’s sovereignty, economy and security.’ Mr Lidington said Spain has increased the number of its incursions into British territorial waters from around five per month to around 40 per month. The event comes two weeks after a Spanish boat made dangerous manoeuvres near Royal Navy vessels in British waters, putting lives at risk and resulting in a minor collision. A Foreign Office source described relations with Spain as ‘well past the asking nicely stage’. But Conservatives expressed frustration that the Government has not taken a firmer line against Spanish provocation. David Cameron did not protest last week when the European Commission refused to condemn Spain for blocking the Spanish-Gibraltar border over the summer. Colonel Stewart called for troops to be sent to the Rock: ‘I am afraid the Government has got to be stronger. ‘For goodness sake, can we get a stronger response to what’s happening to our people in Gibraltar? Why doesn’t the British Government make more use of the defence facilities in Gibraltar, by sending down more often an infantry company to be based in Gibraltar for perhaps six weeks at a time to exercise there, rather than sending it to somewhere like Kenya.’ Foreign Office Minister Mark Simmonds responded: ‘We must strike a balance between being forceful, strong, determined to ensure the Spanish understand the UK Government’s position. ‘But we must also find mechanisms to de-escalate the situation, which is why we must get back to discussing solutions – without negotiating Gibraltarian sovereignty.’ | Spain is not considered 'a friendly nation' say Gibraltar minister .

Italian side Parma could be forced to cancel their game against Udinese this weekend, amid reports in Italy that they are about to go bankrupt. The club's players have not been paid all season, and have threatened legal action against their employer if they do not recieve some money. According to the Italian press, Parma have just £29,500 (€40,000) left in the bank, and may not be able to pay police and stewards for Sunday's game, leading to a cancellation. Antonio Nocerino challenges Gervinho for the ball, but Parma's players have not been paid this season . Another alternative would be for the game to go ahead behind closed doors, to save on the costs of stewarding. The club have received a bankruptcy petition from the Italian government because of unpaid taxes, and have been docked a point this season for failing to pay their bills.

Parents in a Pennsylvania school district are turning 50 shades of red over word search puzzles given to their middle school students based on an erotic novel and movie. At least five students at Monessen Middle School were given puzzles based on 'Fifty Shades of Grey', the graphic bondage book by E.L. James that was recently adapted to a film. The puzzles contained terms including 'spanking,' 'submissive,' 'leather cuffs' and 'bondage'. Inappropriate: This crossword puzzle, fashioned to explicit novel and now-movie Fifty Shades of Grey, was handed out to students at Monessen Middle School . Raunchy: Some of the words in the puzzle were so risque they had to be covered up for a local news story . Officials in the Monessen School District say they can't say who passed out the puzzles or how many students received one because they just learned about it Monday. Parents complained about it at Tuesday night's school board meeting. 'We just learned of this issue yesterday,' said school board solicitor John Toohey. 'An investigation will occur.' Scene: The puzzle was given to at least five students at Monessen Middle School in Pennsylvania .

(CNN)Dr. John Allen, a gastroenterologist, had to morph into a detective when 10 of his patients came down with the exact same type of rare bacterial infection. Alarmed and mystified, he and his colleagues rushed to find the source of the highly lethal superbug. The culprit, it turned out, was in his own office: a device called a duodenoscope used to check out tiny ducts in the intestinal tract. The pseudomonas bacteria had somehow evaded the standard cleaning process, and it infected one patient after another. If this sounds familiar, it's because duodeonoscopes were also the cause of recent infections and deaths at UCLA. But Allen's patients in Minnesota were infected in 1987 -- and now doctors and members of Congress say they're concerned the Food and Drug Administration might have missed the problem for decades. CRE outbreak: You're due to go in for a procedure. Should you? "This problem has been known since at least 1987," said Allen, the president of the American Gastroenterological Association. "It certainly is disturbing that a fundamental design issue with these scopes would cause problems for this long." On Thursday, the FDA issued advice to hospitals that in addition to following the manufacturer's cleaning instructions, they should "meticulously" clean by hand the specific portion of the device believed to harbor the bacteria. According to FDA spokewoman Leslie Wooldridge, this is the first time the FDA communicated such advice for duodenoscopes. On Monday, Rep. Ted Lieu, D-California, called for congressional hearings. "For the life of me, I don't understand why the FDA didn't issue this advice until now," he said. "I want to know what the FDA knew and when did they know it." Understanding CRE, the 'nightmare' superbug . Dr. William Maisel, deputy director of science and chief scientist at the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said it wasn't until 2013 that there was "convincing evidence" that duodenoscopes could harbor antibiotic-resistant infections even when the manufacturer's cleaning instructions were followed properly, and the agency issued the advisory last week after doing research "so we felt we understood the issue sufficiently." Over the years, the FDA also received dozens of reports about infections from duodenoscopes. "We receive a million adverse event reports [on various devices] each year, and we evaluate the reports based on the information that's provided," he said. But outside the FDA, there was significant concern before 2013 that duodenoscopes -- in particular a small mechanism called the elevator wire -- were difficult if not impossible to clean thoroughly. In 2010, safety expert Lawrence Muscarella published an article in the journal Endoscopy calling for special attention to the elevator wire, and in 2011, a consortium of medical societies warned that automatic cleaning processes didn't always effectively disinfect duodenoscopes and so manual cleaning should be performed. But some experts question whether even the most meticulous and diligent manual cleaning will get all the bacteria. After an outbreak in 2013, a hospital in Illinois tried to get the highly lethal superbug CRE out of a duodenoscope and failed, according to Allen. "They really went to extremes, but they still couldn't decontaminate the scope, and they finally had to just destroy it," said Allen, now the clinical chief of digestive diseases at Yale School of Medicine. Doctors hope that manufacturers will come up with a plan soon. "I do think it will take a redesign of the scope to solve the problem, or new sterilization technology," said Dr. Bret Peterson, a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic and lead author of the 2011 guidelines from the medical societies. Olympus, which manufactured the scope used at UCLA, did not respond to CNN's requests for comments specific to this story. "This is clearly a matter that needs addressing," said Dr. John Greene, an infectious disease expert at the Moffitt Cancer Center who published an article in 2013 on a duodenoscope outbreak in Tampa. "We really should have done this sooner." | Duodeonoscopes were the cause of recent superbug infections and deaths at UCLA .

By . Tim Shipman . PUBLISHED: . 07:18 EST, 26 March 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 06:46 EST, 27 March 2013 . Chancellor George Osborne was forced to defend his mortgage scheme from claims it would push up house prices and help people buy second homes . Government plans to kick-start mortgage lending in a bid to boost growth will simply drive up house prices, the Treasury watchdog warned yesterday. Claims that the scheme to help first-time buyers and those trading up will lead to an increase in house building were dismissed by the Office for Budget Responsibility. Director Robert Chote said it will simply raise prices while planning restrictions hold back house building. ‘I suspect that more of it would have showed up in prices than in quantities,’ he said. Chancellor George Osborne also faced claims from MPs on the Treasury Select Committee that his Help To Buy plans will simply fuel another house price bubble. Labour’s Andy Love accused Mr Osborne of deliberately seeking to boost the property market so people feel better off but warned that would simply price more people out of the market. In last week’s Budget, Mr Osborne outlined plans to help those who cannot afford to put down a 20 per cent deposit on a property. From January, buyers will have to find 5 per cent with the government underwriting the other 15 per cent with a repayment when the home is sold. A separate scheme will see the government share equity with home buyers in new build properties. The OBR’s Steve Nickell also gave a lukewarm welcome to the Help to Buy scheme. On the up: House prices have rise in almost all regions since the 2008 crash, most sharply in London and the South East . Chancellor George Osborne last week promoted his house buying package on a visit to a development in Woolwich, south east London . ‘The key issue is, is it just going . to drive up house prices?’ he told the Committee. ‘By and large in the . short run, the answer to that is yes. ‘In the medium term, will the . increased house prices stimulate more house building? And our general . answer to that would probably be a bit, but the historical evidence . would suggest not very much. ‘Prices will go up and one would hope that that would impact on house builders, but probably not very much.’ But Tory Andrew Tyrie, the committee . chairman, warned that he risked ‘ploughing money back into the boom-bust . property cycle’ while the supply of housing will only ‘increase later, . if at all’. John Cridland, director general of . the CBI, Britain’s biggest lobby group, has also raised his fears that . the Help To Buy scheme could trigger fresh ‘dangers’ of a house price . ‘bubble.’ Quizzed by the MPs, Chancellor repeatedly refused to say whether he thinks house prices will rise. OBR chairman Robert Chote said there was little scope in the planning system to build more homes so the mortgage scheme was likely to force up house prices . ‘I don’t detect that we’re in the middle of a housing boom,’ he said. ‘I think we’re in a very difficult . situation, where the mortgage market is impaired, where very high . deposits are being demanded of people, and families are being priced out . of the housing market. That is neither economically right nor socially . fair.’ Quizzed by the MPs, the Chancellor repeatedly refused to say whether he thinks house prices will rise. He told the Treasury Committee that it . is not his ‘intention’ to help those purchasing a second home but again . refused to rule out that possibility. Example: The proposed scheme is split into two separate streams, the first (above) for buyers purchasing new build homes and the second (below) for everyone else . But he added: ‘The absolutely clear . intention of the scheme is to help people buy their first home or move . home as their family grows.’ He also used his appearance at the . Committee to denounce his Conservative critics who have demanded radical . measures to slash tax or spending further. He told the MPs: ‘You get the argument . from some Right-wing economists that what the economy needs is shock . therapy. I would argue the British . economy has had quite enough shock therapy in the last three or four years.’ Example: The proposed scheme is split into two separate streams, the first (above) for buyers purchasing new build homes and the second for everyone else . | Office for Budget Responsibility says Chancellor's flagship Budget plan will do little to boost building but flood the market with buyers .

(CNN) -- It's been called the "Sistine Chapel of paleolithic art," and it's been closed to the public for more than a decade -- until now. Yesterday, five members of the public who entered a draw were given a guided tour of the extraordinary prehistoric paintings within the Altamira cave in northern Spain. The vivid images, up to 20,000 years old, depict an extinct species of bison, wild boar and other animals, along with sprayed hand prints and engravings. The visit of a lucky few to the twisting, 300-meter-long cave -- sealed in pristine condition by a rockfall for 13,000 years before its discovery in 1879 -- serves a wider purpose beyond their own amazement, however. Small groups drawn from visitors to the nearby museum on one randomly selected day each week until August will be used to test any destructive impact a human presence might have on the ancient paintings through changes in humidity, temperature, CO2 levels and microbiological contamination, the Guardian reports. Wearing protective clothing, masks and shoes, the visitors get a tour of the cave lasting just over half an hour, only a portion of which is to be spent gazing at the rock art. The results will help to determine whether the cave, in the Cantabria region, should be reopened to the public permanently -- a boon to the local economy but an outcome opposed by some scientists. Dismissed as forgeries . Revealed in the late 19th century by an amateur archaeologist led to the site by his eight-year-old daughter, the charcoal and ochre animal studies and other figures at Altamira were at first dismissed as forgeries. The images, in some cases exploiting the cave's natural contours to create an even more lifelike effect, were deemed too sophisticated to have been produced by ancient humans. It was only 20 years later, when the Altamira paintings could be compared with other recent prehistoric finds, that their extreme antiquity was accepted -- and the understanding of early humans transformed. The Altamira cave was first closed to the public in 1977, when the body heat and CO2 from 3,000 daily visitors were found to be damaging the paintings. The site was subsequently reopened to restricted numbers, creating a waiting list of up to three years. In 2002, Altamira -- a Unesco World Heritage Site since 1985 -- was closed a second time when body heat, light and moisture were found to be causing a green mold to grow on the ancient works. Campaign to reopen cave . Since then the Cantabrian regional administration has pushed for Altamira to be opened to the public once more. The goal was to achieve a "balance" between preserving the rock art and making a vital part of Spain's heritage accessible, the director of the Altamira Museum, José Antonio Lasheras, told CNN. However, the Spanish government's main research body opposes the reopening of the cave. "The consequences of doing so are incalculable," Sergio Sánchez Moral, lead researcher at the Spanish National Research Council, told Publico.es. For the past decade, visitors to Altamira have had to be content with replicas of the paintings -- mainly those in the cave's main chamber -- located a short walk away in in the museum. "The original [paintings] can be thrilling because the feeling of entering the cave is difficult to reproduce," Lasheras said. "But people have also felt excited going through the replica." The museum also has a permanent exhibition called "The Times of Altamira," including furniture made of animal bone and antler, depicting life during the paleolithic era. Museo de Altamira, Avda.

Whiskey Element claims to make cheap alcohol taste like expensive whiskey by infusing it with a woody flavour when placed in a decanter (pictured) Rare, vintage bottles of whiskey can cost anywhere up to $1.4 million (£874,150) and can be aged in oak barrels stored in cellars for years. Now, there’s a wooden tool that saves time and money called ‘Whiskey Element,’ which claims to be able to make cheap liquor taste expensive in just 24 hours. The oak sticks are specially designed to ‘age’ the drink by filtering out impurities and infusing the whiskey with a more woody flavour similar to pricier tipples. The sticks have lots of grooves cut in them to increase the overall-surface area touching the liquid. They are intended to be placed in a bottle or decanter of cheap whiskey to replicate the taste of a more expensive tipple. They do this via ‘accelerated transpiration through capillary action,’ according to the Portland, Oregon-based company’s Kickstarter page, which means the liquid travels through tiny tubes in the wood. Time & Oak is raising money to the Whiskey Elements into production. The inventors say they got their idea while working in a liquor store when they asked themselves: ‘What’s the difference between top shelf and well, whiskey?’ ‘And then it hit us. If the goal is for the whiskey to filter in and out of the wood to remove toxins, get infused with flavour, and pull out those rich colours, what if the barrel isn’t the best design to achieve this process?,’ they wrote. Tony Peniche explained that wood barrels are used for containing whiskey because the wood is cut vertically so that capillaries are not exposed to the liquid, meaning that it doesn't slowly seep out of the sides of the wood. The sticks (pictured) have lots of grooves cut in them to increase the overall-surface area touching the liquid.They are intended to be placed in a bottle or decanter of cheap whiskey to replicate the taste of a more expensive bottle. The oak is cut horizontally to allow ‘accelerated transpiration through capillary action' The Elements are made from oak - like the barrels used for ageing expensive whiskey. The idea is that they mimic the ageing process to re-create the taste of pricey liquor after being placed in a bottle of cheap whisky for just 24 hours. They do this via transpiration through capillary action. The sticks are cut horizontally from a large piece of wood, so the grain runs down their length. This so there is a shorter distance for whiskey to travel through its capilaries, and 'age' the alcohol. It also has grooves to increase the surface area of wood touching liquid. The Whiskey Elements remove chemical compounds Methoxy-phenyl-Oxime and Acetaldehyde from cheap whiskey. The impurity found in pig faeces and chemical blamed for hangovers are not found in high-end whiskey. So once the sticks have been used, the expensive and cheap whiskey are more chemically similar and have a similar taste. The sticks are made by cutting the wood horizontally to provide a ‘shorter distance for whiskey to travel through its repetitive exposure to the capillaries, so it matures much faster and becomes of a much higher quality.’ To test the product, the inventors put their sticks through their paces in the lab, where they compared top shelf whiskey costing over $100 a bottle that had been aged for over 10 years, with cheaper versions treated with a Whiskey Element. They analysed the chemicals found in expensive and cheap whiskey. Researchers found that the cheap bottles contained high levels of Methoxy-phenyl-Oxime – found in pig and mouse faeces – and Acetaldehyde, a compound blamed for hangovers. In comparison, the expensive aged bottles contained almost none of either. The researchers then added the oak sticks to the cheap liquor and waited 24 hours before testing them again. Mr Peniche said: ‘The results were amazing. They showed characteristics found in top-shelf aged whiskeys with notably higher levels of the chemicals responsible for good flavours and smells, as well as a significant reduction in Methoxy-phenyl-Oxime and Acetaldehyde.’ Each stick can only be used once for maximum effectiveness and a two-pack is available to pre-order for $12 (£7.50) plus shipping. The company has also come up with natural flavoured sticks so that flavours including vanilla, cherry, maple, smokey and peaty can be infused into spirits.

By . Rob Waugh . The skeleton of a bushy-tailed baby dinosaur that roamed Earth 135 million years ago has been found in Europe. The creature had little 'fuzzy' feathers, almost like hairs. Named Sciurumimus after the tree squirrel species Sciurus, it is the best preserved dinosaur remains ever discovered in Europe. At just 72 cms (28 inches) long, the fanged predator looks like a tiny T-Rex. It is believed to have been a year-old hatchling and had a large skull, short hind limbs and smooth skin. Bushy-tailed: The 135million-year-old fossil of this dinosaur, named the Sciurumimus, has been discovered in Germany. It measures just 72cms long and is believed to have been a hatchling . Its vivid compression with mouth wide open also bears the outline of sharp, serrated little teeth and primitive fuzzy feathers that are more akin to hair. These were over its front, below the belly, and back as well as the tail, suggesting the animal's whole body could have been covered in feathers. It is impossible to say exactly what killed the animal, but it has been speculated that it may have drowned. Previously reported fossils of feathered killer dinosaurs belonged to a group called coelurosaurs that are closely related to birds and from which T Rex and other meat-eating beasts evolved. But Sciurumimus albersdoerferi - dug up out of limestone rock at a quarry near Kelheim in Bavaria, southern Germany, in 2009 - was a megalosauroid which were members of the theropods. Dr Oliver Rauhut said: ‘Here we report an exceptionally preserved skeleton of a juvenile megalosauroid, Sciurumimus albersdoerferi, from the Late Jurassic of Germany, which preserves a filamentous plumage at the tail base and on parts of the body. ‘The specimen is preserved in complete articulation, lying on its right side.’ Fossils of theropods - which include T Rex - are rare and usually fragmented. The best T Rex specimens are about 80 percent preserved whereas Sciurumimus is about 98 percent intact. Dr Rauhut, curator of the Bavarian Paleontological and Geological Collections (BSPG) in Munich, led an international team that examined the animal. He said: ‘This is one of the most complete dinosaur skeletons ever found worldwide. When I first saw it, it was hard to believe it was real because it was so well preserved. ‘It looked as if it had been made by someone to hang in their living room. But tests quickly showed it was genuine.’ He said the find was of ‘outstanding scientific importance’ because of the completeness of the skeleton, the presence of hair-like filamentous structures and its youth. Dr Rauhut said: ‘It is very difficult to say how large the animal would have grown to as an adult. One can't rule out it would have been up to eight or nine metres long but it could also have just been two or three metres.’ The large size of the skull in proportion to the rest of the body was a sure sign it had been very young when it died, he said. Examinations of juvenile theropods can help shed light on the mechanisms of evolution because recent research indicates changes in the processes of growing played an important role in how creatures evolved. The bones of the theropod are even better preserved than those of feathered dinosaurs found in China in the 1990s. Those are the only ones which are similarly complete, but they are millions of years younger, saud the researchers whose findings are published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Dr Rauhut said: ‘The great thing about this discovery is the preservation of the bones. Similarly complete skeletons were found in China of feathered dinosaurs. ‘They look great from afar but if you study them under the microscope, you can see that the bone preservation isn't that great.’ Hair on dinosaurs has been a focus of research because it could have developed into the feathers that were first detected on fossils of Archaeopteryx, the oldest known bird, which were found in Germany in the 19th century. That discovery suggested dinosaurs may have evolved into birds. Dr Rauhut said: ‘This new theropod is probably the most significant fossil found on German soil since the discoveries of the original bird Archaeopteryx.’ | 135million-year-old fossil discovered in Bavarian region of Germany .

(CNN) -- Croatia midfielder Luka Modric will not be sold to Chelsea, according to the chairman of his English Premier League club Tottenham. The 25-year-old has been the subject of transfer speculation after helping the London side reach the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League last season, and his manager Harry Redknapp on Thursday ridiculed a bid of $35.5 million for the player. Modric, who cost Spurs $27 million when he signed from Dinamo Zagreb in 2008, was on Saturday quoted by English newspaper the Daily Mail as saying he wanted to join London rivals Chelsea. In response, Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy issued a statement on the club's website confirming that Chelsea's initial approach had been turned down and that he had not invited an improved offer. "I wish to make it absolutely clear, as I have said previously, that none of our key players will be sold this summer. We are building a team for the future to consistently play at the highest level, and retaining quality players is crucial to that," Levy said. "In respect of Luka Modric, we are not prepared to sell, at any price, to Chelsea Football Club or any other club. We made our stance on this issue abundantly clear in writing to Chelsea. They chose to ignore it and then subsequently made the offer public. "For the avoidance of any doubt, let me reiterate that we shall not enter into any negotiations whatsoever, with any club, regarding Luka. We now consider this matter closed." With Tottenham playing in Europe's second-tier Europa League next season after finishing fifth in the Premier League, Modric appears keen to join a club fighting for major titles. Second-placed Chelsea sacked manager Carlo Ancelotti after a trophyless season following a league and cup double in his first campaign, and the Italian's replacement has yet to be announced. "If somebody comes to the club and the offer is good for me and acceptable to them, then I want to leave," Modric told the Daily Mail. "I want to leave Tottenham as friends. I have enjoyed my time there, but now it is right for me to look at another club. "I have an arrangement with the chairman. When I signed my new contract, he said that, if another club came to sign me, they would consider the offer. I won't ask for a transfer, no. That would be disrespectful. I hope they can reach an agreement that is satisfactory for everyone. "Chelsea are a big club with an ambitious owner. They have great players and they have ambitions to fight for the title and win the Champions League. I want to stay in London. I am very happy here and so are my family." Despite not having a manager in place, Chelsea officials are in talks with highly-rated young Belgium international striker Romelu Lukaku, the 18-year-old striker's club Anderlecht revealed on Friday. Meanwhile, English club Newcastle United signed former France under-21 midfielder Sylvain Marveaux on a five-year contract from Rennes on Saturday. The 25-year-old will bolster Newcastle's midfield ranks following the departure of club captain Kevin Nolan to relegated West Ham. Marveaux follows West Ham's Senegal international striker Demba Ba in moving to St James' Park, where he will link up with compatriots Hatem Ben Arfa and Yohan Cabaye. | Tottenham unhappy with Chelsea's attempt to sign playmaker Luka Modric .

(CNN) -- Despite everything you may have read, seen or heard in the past few years, there are principles and policies that unite Americans rather than divide us. One of these is our belief in the golden rule -- especially when it comes to everyone's freedom to earn a living. It's a nearly universal belief among American voters that all people should be allowed to compete equitably for jobs and be judged only on their skills, experience and performance. In the coming weeks, the U.S. Senate is expected to vote on just this. Fortunately, there is overwhelming bipartisan momentum -- on Capitol Hill and out in the grassroots -- in favor of treating all employees the same. In a majority of states it is still perfectly legal to fire people solely based on their sexual orientation or gender identity. And nearly eight out of 10 voters mistakenly believe it is illegal under federal law to fire or refuse to hire someone because they are gay or transgender. Earlier this month, Project Right Side and Americans for Workplace Opportunity commissioned TargetPoint Consulting to conduct a survey to gauge voter support for the Employment Nondiscrimination Act, a bill that extends workplace protections to gay and transgender employees. The poll found strong bipartisan support for this legislation -- including that of a majority of Republicans. The poll interviewed 2,000 registered voters and was conducted September 3-8. Among voters nationwide, 68% support the protections offered by ENDA. Among Republican respondents, 56% backed ENDA. Such overwhelming support is a testament to the conservative values at the heart of the proposed law, which would ensure all hardworking Americans are treated the same -- that all are judged in the workplace based on their merits and performance -- nothing more, nothing less. In addition to the poll, we used a state-of-the-art modeling technique to estimate attitudes toward workplace protections in all 50 states. Our findings: A majority in every state favor a federal law protecting gay and transgender employees. Support rises above 60% in many states, including Arkansas, Arizona, New Hampshire, Nevada and Pennsylvania. Our polling found that 80% of voters believe that "people shouldn't be fired from their jobs solely because of their sexual orientation or gender identity," while an even stronger 88% agreed that companies should "hire and fire based solely on a person's qualifications not quotas." These core beliefs are why so many of America's blue chip companies have long recognized the importance of fostering open workplaces. Nearly 90% of Fortune 500 companies have nondiscrimination policies covering sexual orientation, while nearly 60% have policies covering gender identity. Why? They do it because it is fundamentally the right thing to do, but their leaders will also tell you this allows them to be competitive in the labor market by attracting the best talent regardless of how they live their private lives. This isn't just smart policy -- it's also smart politics. Although many Republicans still struggle to embrace the freedom to marry, there is a clear consensus within the GOP that all Americans be protected in the workplace. An overwhelming majority of Republicans, 86%, believe "everyone has a right to earn a living including gay, lesbian and transgender Americans." Similarly, 86% of Republicans agree that "we should all follow the Golden Rule and treat others as we'd like to be treated, including gay, lesbian and transgender Americans." These, along with majority support for ENDA, underscore the vastness of the coalition supporting this important reform. Republicans are demonstrating leadership to ensure basic workplace protections for all Americans. Earlier this summer, Republican Sens. Mark Kirk of Illinois, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Orrin Hatch of Utah were part of a bipartisan vote that advanced ENDA out of committee and to the full Senate. Following the committee vote, Hatch said, "I voted for it because it prohibits discrimination that should not occur in the workplace, it protects the rights of religious entities, and minimizes legal burdens on employers." Treating others as we would like to be treated is a fundamental conservative value. This basic tenant of American life is at the heart of workplace protections that will build and strengthen both the country and our competitive enterprises.

Consumers are hot and cross after supermarket giant Woolworths stacked its shelves with an Easter favourite just days after Christmas. Many customers were startled to see hot cross buns at the supermarket on December 27 - some 99 days before Easter. 'Pull your heads in. December is ridiculously early!!!' fumed sports scientist Tim Doyle, who tweeted he would take his hot cross bun purchases to another store's baking aisle. 'I thought it was an urban myth,' wrote a surprised South Australian Federal MP Andrew Southscott on Facebook. 'But Woolies are first off the mark with hot cross buns on the shelf on December 27! Scroll down for video . Not exactly a December favourite: Hot cross buns have already appeared on Woolworths shelves . Woolworths expects to sell more than 50 million hot cross buns in the lead-up to last Easter . While it's not unusual for hot cross buns to appear in stores while Christmas trees are still up, many consumers were stunned by Woolworths' breakneck speed. 'Really Woolworths, hot cross buns in December,'' tweeted mother-of-three Sonya Dunn. 'Unbelievable!' Members of the clergy were quick to join in the condemnation, pointing to the sacred symbol atop the buns. 'It's disappointing,' Uniting Church Reverend Bruce Johnson told Nine News this week. 'They could sell them without the cross on the top and people could buy them all year round'. Even a baker - of all people - urging the supermarkets to restrain themselves. 'I want my children to enjoy the anticipation and excitement that comes from having to wait for something special,' said Steve Plarre, the CEO of the Ferguson Plarre Bakehouse. Coles will roll out their buns in early January. A spokesman said they are a favourite of shoppers, and had a special aside for critics. Christmas favourite: Hot cross buns are a popular buy at both major supermarket . 'Clearly customers who would prefer to wait until Easter before buying buns have that choice,' he told Daily Mail Australia. A Woolworths representative said they release the buns the same time every year. 'Our customers love them,' a spokesman said. They certainly do - the supermarket expects to sell more than 50 million buns in the lead-up to Easter. The grocery giants are far from the only Australian stores to muscle in on big holidays.

Liverpool remain keen on Radamel Falcao but they face competition from Juventus for the Monaco striker. The Italians like the idea of a loan deal and are considering the sale of Fernando Llorente to Valencia, although the Spaniard is not overly keen. Real Madrid maintain an interest in Falcao but need to sell another non-EU player first. Wanted man: Liverpool, Juventus and Real Madrid are all keen on Monaco striker Radamel Falcao . Liverpool have the option of a deal for Samuel Eto'o also but their main concern is whether he is too much of a spent force. Reds defender Daniel Agger is an option for Atletico Madrid should they lose Toby Alderweireld, while another defender, Tiago Ilori, will move from Anfield to Bordeaux on loan on Monday - as reported last week. Option: Liverpool could sign former Chelsea striker Samuel Eto'o on a free transfer this summer . Assou-Ekotto free to go, say Tottenham . Tottenham are willing to let Benoit Assou Ekotto leave on a free transfer. The Cameroon defender has been pushed down the pecking order by the arrival of Ben Davies from Swansea while Danny Rose has also signed a new long-term deal. Assou-Ekotto had a spell on loan at QPR last season but failed to reach the performance levels he showed two and three years ago while under Harry Redknapp at White Hart Lane. The 30-year-old has one year left on contract but Tottenham are willing to cut their losses as they streamline their squad. Tottenham have plenty of interest in Andros Townsend with Southampton and QPR having made enquiries but Mauricio Pochettino wants to keep the England winger as part of his first team squad. Exit door: Tottenham will let defender Benoit Assou-Ekotto leave on a free transfer this summer . Other enquiries have been made for Michael Dawson, Kyle Naughton, Lewis Holtby, Vlad Chiriches, Nacer Chadli, Sandro and Roberto Soldado. Tottenham maintain an interest in Morgan Schneiderlin, Memphis Depay, Mateo Musacchio and Jay Rodriguez among others but Pochettino is not keen to make drastic changes to his squad. He said: 'I've been made aware of some reports claiming we are looking to sell half of our squad. We are fortunate to have a squad full of quality, as I have said on numerous occasions, and we are not expecting to see much movement before the end of the transfer window. 'We will loan out some of our younger players to help further their development. Several of our players are under 21 so we don’t envisage a problem meeting the Premier League’s squad limit of 25.' Target: Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino hopes to resume talks for PSV winger Memphis Depay (left) Reus will leave Dortmund for 'big club' says Beckenbauer . Franz Beckenbauer has angered Borussia Dortmund by hinting they will struggle to hold on to Marco Reus. The honorary Bayern Munich president believes that Reus will leave Dortmund in 2015 with his release clause set at £20m for either his side or 'a big club' like Manchester United or Real Madrid. Talking to German publication Bild, he said: 'I can imagine him at Bayern very well. If you can get a player of his class, you need to try it. If he doesn't go to Bayern in 2015, he will probably go to another big club like Real Madrid or Manchester United. On the move? Germany legend Franz Beckenbauer believes Marco Reus (left) will leave Borussia Dortmund . 'Dortmund will probably not be able to hold on to him. I can understand why Dortmund don't like discussion about Reus. The amount of the release clause probably wasn't a big secret,' he argued. 'Every interested party probably knew it.' They do now, Franz. Zuculini poised to join Valencia on loan from City . Manchester City new boy Bruno Zuculini is poised to join Valencia on loan after red tape prevented a temporary move to Sunderland. The 21-year-old midfielder, who arrived in a £3m deal from Argentinian side Racing Club last month, is not able to join a Premier League club and then immediately move to another on loan due to Financial Fair Play legislation and is now heading to La Liga. Deportivo La Coruna had been considered favourites for Zuculini but will now miss out. They have asked to take Fulham striker Kostas Mitroglou on loan. Loan ranger: Bruno Zuculini is set to join Spanish side Valencia on loan from Manchester City . VIDEO Important to start with a win - Pellegrini . Zuculini has a long-term future at City but they will listen to offers for Matija Nasatsic, Micah Richards, Scott Sinclair and John Guidetti. Anderlecht have asked to loan City's Belgian defender Dedryck Boyata. Norwich sign former Sunderland defender Cuellar . Norwich City are signing former Sunderland and Aston Villa defender Carlos Cuellar. The Spaniard is undergoing a medical on Monday ahead of penning a two-year contract. Cuellar, 32, has been training with Blackburn Rovers recently. Norwich are also in talks to sign Cameron Jerome for £2m from Stoke City. Celtic had also shown an interest in Jerome who was on loan at Crystal Palace last season. Norwich's Holland midfielder Leroy Fer is expected to join QPR for £8million this week. Fresh start: Carlos Cuellar will join Championship side Norwich City on a free transfer this week . Villa, meanwhile, are among clubs looking at a deal for attacking midfielder Sebastian Blanco. The 26-year-old Argentina international plays for Metallist Kharkiv but wants to quit the club following the continued unrest in the Ukraine. Despite being valued at £6million, a deal can be struck for around half the price. Kenny leaves Leeds after being frozen out . Paddy Kenny has left Leeds United. The 36-year-old was expected to move on and has now agreed a deal to go by mutual consent. Kenny wasn't even on the bench for the Championship matches with Millwall and Middlesbrough, or the Capital One Cup clash with Accrington. Leeds United’s bid for Kieran Agard collapsed on Monday after the club and the winger failed to agree personal terms. Gone: Goalkeeper Paddy Kenny has left Leeds by mutual consent after failing to break into the first XI . Agard travelled to Leeds for talks this morning after Rotherham United accepted a bid last night but the move has fallen through. The 24-year-old’s agent, Lee Payne. of Full Contact, told the Yorkshire Evening Post: 'We just haven’t been able to agree personal terms. 'Leeds were hopeful of getting him signed in time to play (against Middlesbrough) tomorrow but they were keeping their offer within a budget and we couldn’t agree to it.' Leeds do, however, hope to strike agreement on a £1m deal for Ternana striker Mirco Antenucci and are discussing a possible loan for Cagliari's Brazilian playmaker Adryan who was had talks with Manchester United in 2012. Bamford and Baker given freedom of the Boro . Chelsea starlet Patrick Bamford will join Middlesbrough on Monday and coach Aitor Karanka hopes to finalise the signing of the Blues' Under 21 captain Lewis Baker in the coming days. Baker is very highly thought of at Stamford Bridge with Jose Mourinho even stating he will have failed as a coach if the 19-year-old does not become a full England international in years to come. Chelsea had intended to give him more games with their first team but Karanka will be able to offer even more consistent game time. Dropping down: Chelsea youngster Patrick Bamford is set to join Championship side Middlesbrough on loan . Everton and West Ham lead chase for Amalfitano . Everton, West Ham, Hull, Sunderland and Crystal Palace have expressed an interest in Marseille midfielder Morgan Amalfitano was in the stands at Loftus Road on Saturday to watch Hull City take on QPR. Amalfitano is available on a free transfer after an ugly fall out with coach Marcelo Bielsa that has culminated in the player being told to stay away from the Marseille training ground. The 29-year-old had a productive loan spell at West Bromwich Albion last season and is in London ahead of talks with Premier League clubs. In demand: Everton, West Ham and Hull are among the clubs interested in Marseille's Morgan Amalfitano (right) West Ham have already spoken with his representatives and are considered favourites to reach an agreement. Everton are considering a number of options following the injury to midfielder Ross Barkley. Fulham in talks with Hildebrand . Fulham have opened talks with former Germany goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand. The 35-year-old is a free agent after leaving Schalke and is well known to coach Felix Magath. Hildebrand's last visit to London did not leave a favourable impression as his blunder allowed Samuel Eto'o to score the opening goal for Chelsea in their 3-0 Champions League defeat of Schalke in November. However, Magath wants an experienced keeper to help his young players. He gave a debut to 21-year-old Finland man Jesse Joronen in goal on the opening day of the season after selling David Stockdale to Brighton and allowing Maarten Stekelenburg to join Monaco on loan. | Brendan Rodgers faces competition from Juventus and Real Madrid for Falcao as he looks to strengthen his attacking options .

(CNN) -- Bayern Munich climbed to third place in the Bundesliga on Saturday with a 4-0 victory over Hoffenheim. Luis Van Gaal's team started brightly and took the lead after two minutes through Germany striker Mario Gomez, who scored his 17th league goal of the season. Gomez's compatriot Thomas Muller doubled the reigning champions' advantage with only 15 minutes gone when he fired home from inside the box after a pass from Franck Ribery. Dutch winger Arjen Robben netted a brace in only his fourth game of the season to seal a comprehensive victory. The win sees the 2010 double winners move ahead of Mainz and Hannover who are both in action on Sunday. League-leaders Borussia Dortmund were held to a 1-1 draw away to Kaiserslautern after having defender Neven Subotic sent off. Jurgen Klopp's team looked to have secured an away victory when Sven Bender put them ahead with nine minutes left, but Subotic picked up his second yellow card four minutes later. With the match entering stoppage time, striker Jan Moravek fired home from the edge of the penalty area to rescue a point for Kaiserlautern. Despite the setback, Dortmund still hold a 10-point lead over second-placed Bayer Leverkusen and are still well-placed to secure their first league championship since 2002. Leverkusen picked up three points after they earned a 3-0 victory away to Eintracht Frankfurt. German international Simon Rolfes put Leverkusen ahead in the ninth minute when he fired a left-footed shot past Frankfurt goalkeeper Ola Nikolov. Rolfes' center-midfield partner Renato Augusto made it 2-0 after 32 minutes, before substitute Hanno Balitsch made sure of the win with a third for Jupp Heynckes' side in the 81st minute. Mid-table Frankfurt have now failed to find the net in their last five Bundesliga outings. Hamburg moved up to seventh position in the table with a 1-0 win over struggling Wolfsburg. A goal from Croatia forward Mladen Petric was enough to defeat Wolfsburg, who recently sacked English coach Steve McLaren. Nuremberg remain in ninth place after a convincing 4-1 defeat at relegation-threatened Stuttgart. Goals from Timmy Simons and Julian Schieber gave Nuremberg a two-goal lead inside 29 minutes, before Patrick Funk reduced Stuttgart's arrears on the stroke of half time. Jens Hegeler and Mehmet Ekici made sure of victory for Nuremberg in the second half to leave Stuttgart languishing in 17th position. Elsewhere, Jefferson Farfan's strike was enough to secure a 1-0 success for Schalke over Freiburg and FC St Pauli scored a 3-1 win at home to Borussia Monchengladbach. | Bayern Munich are third in the Bundesliga after a 4-0 win over Hoffenheim .

By . Graham Smith . UPDATED: . 08:18 EST, 1 February 2012 . Charged: Rachel Farrell, 25, is alleged to have carried out an extended affair with an 11th grade pupil at Bangor Area High School in Pennsylvania . A former high school teacher has been charged with having sex with a 17-year-old student on 'numerous occasions'. Rachel Farrell, 25, is alleged to have carried out an extended affair with an 11th grade pupil she was teaching reading to at Bangor Area High School in Pennsylvania. She has since resigned and has now been charged with three counts of corrupting a minor. The case is the latest to concern a female teacher who has been jailed for, or accused of, having sex with a student. Police believe Farrell also had sexual relationships with up to three other 17-year-old students, Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli said yesterday. She faces further charges should these teenagers decide to testify against her. Mr Morganelli said: 'This particular case was the case we could bring. This may be it. 'It may be that we just don't bring other cases for reasons of lack of cooperation from the alleged victims. 'Farrell forfeited her career. [Sleeping with an underage student] is just not right, it's wrong and it constitutes a crime under our crimes code.' Farrell taught at Bangor Area High School under her maiden name, Rachel Warner, but has been on administrative leave since December when the allegations first emerged. Mr Morganelli said she admitted to both police and her employers that she had slept with two 17-year-old students. She married in June 2010 and is accused of conducting an affair with the student between August of that year and January 2011. Police said the teenager, now 18, admitted having sex with Farrell at 'numerous times at many different locations' such as secluded parking spots. Their relationship is said to have begun after the pair began talking on Facebook and through text messages. Bangor . Area High School superintendent Patricia Mulroy said the district . confronted Farrell as soon it found out about the accusations against . her and that the matter was turned over to county prosecutors. Police believe Farrell also had sexual relationships with up to three other 17-year-old students at Bangor Area High School (pictured) Farrell, of Palmer Township, is free on $5,000 bail. She has cooperated with police, but the investigation is ongoing, Mr Morganelli said. The age of consent in Pennsylvania is 18 for the corruption of minors. Bangor Area High School is no stranger to controversy. A biology teacher fatally overdosed on heroin in 2009, while a male teacher's aide was jailed after admitting drug possession charges and of supplying drugs to students, one of whom went on to kill himself. In 2010, a nude photo of a female teacher's aide was circulated on students' mobile phones. Female teachers having sex with their students has dominated the headlines in recent weeks. Just yesterday, a mother-of-two was found guilty of having sex with a 15-year-old boy she taught tap dancing. Kimberly Sauto, 34, from North Ridgeville, Ohio, had denied having sex with the teenager in the back of her car in August 2011. On Monday, it emerged that a high school teacher has been accused of having 'intimate sexual relationships' with two of her students, kissing a third on the lips and exchanging inappropriate texts and emails with a third. Joanne Léger-Legault, from Ottawa, Canada, was stripped of her teaching permit and fired by the city’s public school board over the allegations. During last week alone, a Reno teacher who had sex with a student and oral sex with six others was jailed; a teacher in New York was sacked after she allegedly performed sexual acts with two pupils and gave them drugs and alcohol; Lousiana teacher was charged with having sex with one of her former pupils and sending him sexually explicit text messages; and an Arizona band teacher was sentenced to 15 years in prison for having a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old student. | Rachel Farrell, 25, is alleged to have carried out an extended affair with an 11th grade pupil .

A female lawn bowls player has been banned from competing for her local team, because the league claims women are 'not as good as men'. Claire Williams, 51, helped get Burway Bowling Club in Ludlow, Shropshire into the top lawn bowls division in the county last year. However, the Shropshire Premier Bowling League (SPBL) has a strict male-only policy and its president has today pledged to 'fight vehemently' to keep her and other women players out. Banned champion: Burway Bowling Club are trying to overturn the ban on women players in the Shropshire Premier Bowling League after Claire Williams, 51, (front) was not allowed to play for her team . Ms Williams' club are appealing to overturn the 21-year-old rule after branding the league regulations old-fashioned and outdated. But Mike Hinton, 73, president of the SPBL, has said there is 'no way' the league will allow a change in the rules and allow women to play. 'The plain fact is we don't think they are good enough,' Mr Hinton said, adding that Burway Bowling Club made a similar - unsuccessful - appeal for change last year. Sexist rules: The league's president has said he will 'fight vehemently' to keep female players like Claire Williams out . 'I would put my house and £1,000 on it not being passed again this year. 'I will be fighting vehemently to make sure women are not allowed to join our league. 'One of the middle leagues changed the rules and they started putting women's names down on the team sheet before men, I couldn't believe it. 'I have been president for 13 years and I am standing down tomorrow, but there is no way we will let this rule change pass. 'The simple reason is because men are generally better players than women.' Ms Williams, who works for the Ministry of Defence, led her side to the top of the Flowfit Ludlow & District Bowls League last year, allowing the team to play in the top county league. However, this achievement also meant that Ms Williams had to be dropped from the team because of the men-only rule. When the issue was raised at the Shropshire Premier Bowling League annual meeting last year, many teams had not held their annual general meetings to discuss the matter, so it was voted down. Yesterday Duncan Pressley, captain of the Burway Bowling Club, said it was time the sport caught up with the times. He said: 'We put a letter in last year asking why women couldn't be included in teams in the league. 'Obviously it was in our interest to have Claire as part of our team. 'She was one of the best players we had and not just of the ladies - she's better than a lot of the men. 'Claire doesn't play for us anymore, but it wasn't just about her. 'Somebody has got to be the first one to put up their hands and say in this day and age should we still be doing this? Outdated views: President Mike Hinton, 73, said there is 'no way' the Shropshire Premier Bowling League will approve Burway's appeal for change as 'women are not as good as men'. 'It's probably the only league in the county which doesn't allow women to play. Ludlow and District has been a mixed league for 15 to 20 years. 'Most sports that aren't intensely physical these days are coming round to the idea that women can be allowed to compete alongside men. 'Look at golf, where women are now allowed in the club house at St..Andrews. 'There are ladies' leagues, obviously, but just within localised areas as far as I know.

Amidst a bitter and ongoing family feud within one of Australia's most wealthy families, Ginia Rinehart has spoken out for the first time since her older brother John Hancock branded her an 'oxygen thief' in court this week. The only one of Gina's four children to have stood by her side during the spat, Ms Rinehart told The Daily Telegraph she feels betrayed her sister Bianca agreed with their brother's comments. 'It has been hurtful that Bianca, while in a public proceeding, chose to effectively side with John's comments about me,' she said. Scroll down for video . The youngest Rinehart, Ginia (left), who sided with her mother, Gina (right), against her siblings has now spoken out against her brothers 'hurtful' comments made in court . 'Nasty and mean comments shouldn't be made about anyone, let alone a family member, and certainly not to be then supported publicly by another family member. Mrs Rinehart also hit out at her two warring children, Bianca and John, following this week's court proceedings, calling them selfish as they try to gain control of the $5 billion Hancock family trust. 'I have always worked in the best interests of our family company and my record shows I have turned Hancock Prospecting into one of the most successful private companies in the country, which is of benefit to all my children given their interest via the trust I requested be set up for them,' she told AAP. 'Hard work, sacrifice and immense dedication, not short-term gambles in hope of quick easy money has got us here with the help of a dedicated but very small executive team. 'This has become a company this family should be genuinely very proud of, as my daughter Ginia is, not attacked or distracted for selfish reasons in public litigation.' Earlier this week a Sydney court heard the son of Australia's richest woman call his youngest sister an 'oxygen thief', in the latest battle over control of the family's $5billion trust. Bianca Rinehart, the eldest daughter of Australia's richest woman Gina Rinehart, appeared at Sydney's Supreme Court on Tuesday to argue why she should be allowed to take control of a $5 billion family trust . Mr Hancock made the comments about Ginia, who has sided with her mother against her siblings, the NSW Supreme Court heard on Tuesday. Appearing as the first witness in the case, lodged three years ago, Bianca Rinehart defended her brother's comments, despite having told her mother in 2004 she was 'deeply concerned about (his) reckless bite the hand that feeds you approach'. Bianca, who had temporarily fallen out with Mr Hancock, told the court: '(It's) not a personal attack.' She added that her brother's drinking and gambling problems had been 'damaging in the past'. 'He doesn't want to see the family business left in the hands of someone... he feels isn't up to the job,' she said. John Hancock called his youngest sister, Ginia, an 'oxygen thief'. Bianca Rinehart told the court this contempt was born out of worry over who would assume 'real and great responsibility' for the family company . The contempt Mr Hancock had for Ginia . was born of worry about who would be 'assuming real and great . responsibility of taking over the family company', according to Bianca. She and Mr Hancock have since reconciled, with Mr Hancock backing her bid to take charge of the family's $5 billion trust. The . court heard their mother Gina reportedly sent Olympic swimmer Grant .

He later forwarded the email to his friend Bianca. The youngest Rinehart, Ginia, was not the only one who angered her older brother. Bianca, .

By . David Baker . PUBLISHED: . 14:07 EST, 30 November 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 14:20 EST, 30 November 2012 . A three year old girl died in a house fire made worse by piles of clutter which set alight and created toxic smoke that overwhelmed her. Amelia Brown was in a first floor bedroom of her home in Grinacombe Moor near Lifton, Devon, when the house caught fire last December. Firefighters were beaten back by the fierce blaze which melted the plastic visors of their helmets and they were unable to recover the little girl’s body until the next day. Tragic: Three-year-old Amelia Brown died in the house fire fuelled by piles of clutter strewn around her family home, an inquest heard . Clutter: The fire, started in the kitchen, was 'accelerated' by the hoards of combustible furniture, clothes and bric-a-brac . An inquest in Bideford, Devon, heard the cottage had been full of clutter much of which belonged to her grandmother Stephanie Brown and that smoke alarms were not fitted in the house. Mrs Brown owned the property, which was full of clothes and furniture, but lived across the road. Det Sgt Barry Mitchell said: 'I saw an . extraordinary amount of hoarding and rubbish. It would have made moving . around the property very difficult and would have made what I would call . normal living activity virtually impossible.' Amelia's grandfather David, who was babysitting managed to escape but she was overcome by fumes and died of smoke inhalation . Devon and Somerset Fire service investigator George Setter said doors could not be closed because of clutter and that Amelia’s door could not be closed because of clothes, household goods and material in the way. He said: ‘The unusually excessive amount of combustible materials’ led to the fierce fire which generated large amounts of toxic smoke affecting all parts of the property’. Mrs Brown, in her 60s, admitted the . property was cluttered saying: 'I’m a great one for make do and mend. While it may have looked shabby, it was functional.' Her . late husband David had been babysitting while Amelia's mother . Abigail was out at a pre-school fundraiser that evening and she added: 'Amelia . was everything to Abigail. We all doted on her. 'She was a non stop . bundle of energy, very curious and always asked questions, very eager to . learn . 'But she also loved dressing up, . dancing and singing. She loved flowers and animals and died with her pet . cat who she had only had for a month but she really loved him. 'Everyone did what they could but it . all happened so quickly. We have been told that anyone who suffers smoke . inhalation is not aware of it. It is very quick and very gentle and we . take some small comfort in the fact that Amelia will not have suffered.' Mrs Brown said they will probably never know what sparked the fire which is thought to have started in the kitchen. The inquest into her death heard there was so much junk that some internal doors could not be closed, including the one in Amelia's bedroom . She said: 'There were no naked flames . or electrical appliances left on. We did not have smoke detectors but . neither do many old cottages. 'We will never forget the beautiful, bright little girl who never stopped telling us she loved us.' Deputy Devon coroner John Tomalin said Amelia died from smoke inhalation and recorded an accidental death verdict. He said: 'It’s accepted by all that there was a large number of items in each room. This was to the extent that internal doors could not be closed.' | Doors in house could not be closed because of clutter in the way .

A suspected terrorist plot to drive a toy car loaded with explosives under the gates of a Territorial Army base and blow it up has been smashed by police. Detectives believe the device was to have been detonated in Luton as part of a campaign of terror attacks in Britain. Evidence of the conspiracy was obtained in a huge surveillance operation. The terror suspects leave Westminster Magistrates' Court after today's hearing . At one stage, undercover police looked on as terrorist suspects apparently used the mountains of Snowdonia as a training ground. They are accused of taking their lead . from copies of the Al-Qaeda magazine Inspire which contains blueprints . for home-grown attacks. The alleged complex 16-month plot . emerged as four British Muslim men appeared in court yesterday charged . with a raft of terrorist offences. Zahid Iqbal, 30, is accused of leading a terror network under the instruction of shadowy Al-Qaeda masterminds in Pakistan. He was joined in the dock by close friends Mohammed Sharfaraz Ahmed, 24, Umar Arshad, 23, and Syed Farhan Hussain, 21. The gang are accused of working to recruit others to fight Jihad and raising vital funds. The four suspect appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court today on terror-related charges . They were arrested at their homes in Luton last week after a multi-million pound investigation that began last year.

Westminster Magistrates' Court heard . the men bought survival equipment, downloaded Al-Qaeda . terror manuals and discussed methods and targets. Swoop: Police guard a house in Bishopscote Road in Luton, Bedfordshire, following a dawn raid on April 24 . Prosecutors said two of the men were caught discussing 'building and modifying' improvised explosive devices. They allegedly referred to 'clocks, timers, remote controls and wires' and following instructions in Inspire magazine. One was overheard saying: 'You don't . want to be expecting something huge and then something little going . off.' Another said: 'I was like driving past the TA centre … if you had a . small toy car, there's a small gap under the gate. You could drive it . under a vehicle that they use.' Ahmed is accused of acting as a . recruiter and making an 'explorative visit' to Pakistan where he may . have undertaken terrorist activities. Hussain is alleged to have been the quartermaster who specialised in the distribution of funds and provisions. Arshad's role was allegedly to provide . practical guidance on activities abroad, what to wear to fit in and to . lead the outdoor training. All four men are accused of possessing . editions of Inspire, a banned publication, and a terrorist book called . 44 Ways to Support Jihad.

By . Hugo Gye . The smallest library in the world has appeared on the streets of New York City - and it has space for just one reader at a time. The bright yellow plastic structure houses 40 books and aims to help city-dwellers take a break from the pace of life in the metropolis by chilling out with a good story. The Little Free Library was designed by a pair of innovative architects using recycled materials to protect the books inside from the elements. Intriguing: A visitor peers in through the side of the world's smallest library, located in Manhattan . Ducking in: The structure, made from an old water tank, has enough space to fit one reader . Collection: A reader browses through the 40 books held by the Little Free Library in Nolita . It was constructed from a plastic water tank and a wooden frame, with holes in the exterior allowing visitors to look in before they enter the structure. Venezuelan architects Marcelo Ertorteguy and Sara Valente said the library creates an 'inhabitable' environment which immerses its users in the experience of browsing and reading books. The library in Manhattan's Nolita neighbourhood has attracted a great deal of interest since it was installed last month. 'The Little Free Library idea was originated about three years ago and rapidly started spreading throughout the country and also popping up in some areas of Europe, Africa and India,' Mr Ertorteguy said. 'It remains a mystery how New York City was one of the very few cities in the country with no libraries.' Bizarre: The library looks strikingly different from traditional buildings used to house books . Project: The structure is one of 5,000 Free Lending Libraries around the U.S. and the world . Design: The architects have spoken of their desire to give New Yorkers a chance to withdraw from the city . The Manhattan library had its origins in a project set up by the Architectural League of New York in association with Pen World Voices Festival, and will remain in place until September. Mr Ertorteguy added: 'We have a big interest to work recycling materials, but what we find much more interesting is to give materials, or objects, new functions. 'For the Little Free Library we wanted to find the perfect object to re-purpose, one that could not only shelter the books from the weather but also one that a person could inhabit - the water tank suited perfectly, the rest was just resolving how to hold it up. 'With the library we wanted to create a place where to slow down, a pocket in New York City's streets where to have the moment to partially isolate from the surroundings and get immersed into another world - the world of the book you pick.' Surprise: The funky-looking structure has prompted a great deal of attention from New Yorkers . Tight squeeze: Two people can just about fit in to the structure but cannot move around inside . Neighbourhood: The library is located outside a school in the trendy Nolita district of Manhattan . There are currently more than 5,000 Little Free Libraries across the U.S. and internationally, but most are nothing more than outdoor bookshelves which cannot accommodate readers inside. The project is intended to give everyone access to reading material even if they live in areas which are not served by public libraries. | Little Free Library in Nolita neighbourhood lends collection of books out .

Virgil van Dijk branded Slovakian referee Ivan Kruzliak the worst he had ever encountered after the controversial red card that crushed Celtic’s Europa League dreams. The Dutchman was sent off after just 36 minutes of the 1-0 second-leg defeat to Inter Milan following two bookings in rapid succession. Initially cautioned for a foul on Rodrigo Palacio, Van Dijk earned his marching orders for a second soft-looking offence against Mauro Icardi. Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk was sent off against Inter Milan following two bookings in rapid succession . Van Dijk (third left) looks away as he is dismissed in the first half for Celtic against Inter Milan . Celtic were incensed by a number of other decisions – including the denial of a penalty appeal by Stuart Armstrong – and Kris Commons earned a yellow card after the final whistle for voicing his opinion towards Kruzliak. It was, however, the dismissal of Van Dijk that left Ronny Deila’s men facing a titanic task, with their fate sealed two minutes from time when Fredy Guarin netted a spectacular strike to clinch a 4-3 aggregate victory for Inter. ‘It was a terrible decision,’ Van Dijk insisted. ‘That is the worst referee I have ever experienced in my career. ‘I don’t know why he made this decision but it was shocking. But I watched the whole game and I don’t understand all of the decisions he made. Van Dijk (right) looks dismayed as he leaves the pitch at the San Siro after being shown a red card . Kris Commons (centre) and Celtic will have reason to feel aggrieved with the referee after the game . ‘I got the red card and the second yellow was just a ball in the air we are challenging for – two players. We are shoulder to shoulder and Icardi got up and asked for the referee to book me again. He did that and it was a terrible decision. ‘I would never ask for an opponent to be booked but it happens in football. ‘What disappoints me most is that they weren’t yellow cards and it happened so early in the game. It was a bad decision and that shouldn’t happen. ‘There was also a shout for a penalty and a lot of other things. Like I said, the referee got so many things wrong. ‘He booked Adam (Matthews) and Nir (Bitton) in the second half and they weren’t yellows, either. It was unbelievable.’ Despite his outrage, Van Dijk also felt a sense of personal responsibility for Celtic failing to reach the last 16. Fredy Guarin (centre) scores from outside the area in the 88th minute to send Inter Milan through over Celtic . Craig Gordon (left) had been in great form on the night for Celtic but could not keep Guarin's strike out . ‘I want to apologise to my team-mates and all the fans who travelled to Italy,’ he added. ‘I let them down and I feel terrible. If I’d stayed on the pitch for 90 minutes, we’d have had a big chance to go through. ‘The guys are all with me. They know it wasn’t a red card and they have supported me already. But it’s an awful feeling as the ref made a decision, I was sent off and I feel like I’ve let them down. ‘We had a good gameplan and we started well. We learned a lot from the first leg at Celtic Park. We stayed close together as a back four and we talked a lot. We had chances and I think we would have had a good chance to go through. ‘It’s so disappointing and I need to learn from this.

A man in his 40s has died after an accidental fire on a canal boat which is believed to have been started by a wood-burning stove. The victim, who has not yet been identified, was found by a dog walker on the Kennet and Avon Canal near Trowbridge, Wiltshire, early this morning. It is thought the boat had been 'well alight' for some time and the windows were said to be too hot to touch when rescuers arrived, just after 7.20am. A man in his 40s has died after a fire broke out on a canal boat near Trowbridge, Wiltshire, early this morning . Firefighters were called to tackle the blaze at around 7.20am, after a dog walker spotted smoke coming from the baot . They found a man in the boat, who was pronounced dead at the scene, after being pulled to land . Firefighters found the man on board the boat, which was stationed at private moorings at Marsh Farm, Hilperton Marsh.

Standing in the cold night air at Burnley, Joe Cole could have been forgiven for thinking about the grander stages he has graced in his career. The former Chelsea and England star’s mind could have wandered to the lucrative offers he turned down to finish his career abroad last summer instead of taking a pay cut to join Aston Villa on a free transfer from West Ham. But after scoring on his first Premier League start for Villa in a typically full-blooded English encounter, there was nowhere Cole would rather have been than Turf Moor. Joe Cole wheels away after scoring his first goal for Aston Villa to put them ahead at Turf Moor . Cole's strike was his first since December 2013, and came on his first start for Aston Villa in the league . ‘This is what it’s all about, playing in the Premier League,’ he said. ‘I could have gone and filled my pockets, and that’s not a criticism of the players who do that because it’s a short career and we’re not really qualified to do anything else after football. ‘I’ve been lucky enough and the fire still burns for me. I just want to play. I prefer to be in Burnley at Turf Moor than playing in the Middle East somewhere in 100 degrees. You know what I mean? It’s a proper game. ‘You have to respect the little kid who just dreamed of playing one minute in the Premier League. If you keep that in mind, you can keep playing for as long as you want.’ Cole has revealed that he turned down the opportunity to play for more money outside of England this summer . The former England midfielder is mobbed by his team-mates as Villa took the lead on Saturday . Cole knows his days at the top of the game, when he was an England regular, are behind him . At 33, the one-time prodigy of English football knows his best years are behind him. Even playing a full game might be asking too much these days. But Cole was excellent for the 67 minutes he was on the pitch, showing some of his old movement and anticipation to fire Villa ahead just before half-time and silence any doubters who question if he still has anything to offer at this level. ‘You deal with things like that,’ he added. ‘Once you get past 30 nowadays, people tend to question you. ‘They always have opinions. Have you got it, have you not got it? Are you going to be good enough to play for West Ham, for Chelsea or for England? Would I be able to go and play in France (with Lille)? ‘It’s just how you feel in yourself. I’m hungry to play, I’ve got the desire. While that’s still there, I’ll have a go.’ Danny Ings' late penalty denied Villa all three points, and Burnley almost snatched a late winner . Cole’s first goal since last December was not enough to prevent Villa’s winless run from stretching to nine games after Danny Ings equalised with a late penalty for Burnley and then hit the post in added time. That was the cue for a section of Villa’s fans to turn on manager Paul Lambert who 24 hours earlier had confirmed the shock departure of his No. 2 Roy Keane. First-team coach Scott Marshall sat alongside Lambert on the bench on Saturday, and afterwards the Villa boss said that he will ‘mull it over for a few weeks’ before appointing a new assistant. Lambert’s side are away again on Tuesday night at Crystal Palace while Burnley have another home game against Newcastle after picking up seven points from their last three games. ‘Momentum is a big factor,’ said goalkeeper Tom Heaton. ‘It shows how far we’ve come from the start of the season that we were a goal down in the Premier League and were disappointed not to have won. We’ll take a point and move forward.’ | Joe Cole scored his first goal for Aston Villa in draw with Burnley .
The 33-year-old still determined to play at the highest level .

] | Standing in the cold night air at Burnley, Joe after scoring his first goal for Aston Villa to these days. But Cole was excellent for the 67 |
By . Louise Boyle . A woman who suffered from a rare condition which made her grow into a 6ft 11ins giant has died suddenly at the age of 34. Tanya Angus, from Las Vegas, spent the last 12 years trying to find a cure for her acromegaly, which meant she couldn't stop growing. Until the age of 21, Tanya was just 5ft 8ins tall and weighed 130lbs. She rode horses, went dancing and had a boyfriend. Scroll down for video . Rare disorder: Tanya Angus was a slender 5ft 8 and 130lbs as a teenager, pictured here in 1995 (left). By 2010 (right), she was 6ft 6in and more than 400lbs. She died suddenly today at the age of 34 . An inspiration: Tanya Angus celebrates her 34th birthday with a friend on November 27, 2012 . Struggle: Miss Angus has died at the age of 34 after her heart failed due to her extreme size . But a tumour became wrapped around her pituitary gland, causing massive amounts of growth hormone to be released into her body. Tanya, . who became wheelchair-bound, had the most extreme form of acromegaly . ever seen, growing to nearly 7ft tall, and more than 400lbs. Ms Angus, who had been working as a . supervisor at a Walmart in Michigan, was fired from her post when her condition worsened, and was dumped by her boyfriend when his parents . questioned whether she was a man. But . she never gave up searching for a treatment to halt her incredible . growth and hoped she could one day have a more normal life. In . August last year, it seemed like Tanya and her family had finally seen a . breakthrough, when a blood test revealed that her growth hormone levels . had fallen at last. Tanya's . mother Karen Strutynski said at the time: 'For the first time ever, . Tanya's blood level for her disease is in the normal range. 'It gives us renewed hope and will give other people renewed hope.' Sorrow: A message was posted on Tanya Angus's website that she had sadly passed away on January 14 . New treatment: The 34-year-old was given renewed hope for her condition last year but it was not to last . The . good news was short-lived. Tanya's Insulin-like Growth Factor levels, . which had fallen from 3,000 at the worst of her condition to just 283, . had started to creep back up into the 500's. The normal range for a . healthy person is around 250. It is thought the extreme pressure on her body, caused by 12 years of coping with her huge size, caused her heart to fail. Acromegaly, which affects 20,000 people in the U.S., is usually caused by a non-cancerous tumour on the pituitary gland. Ms Angus had undergone radiation and surgery three times in an effort to have hers removed, but, as it is wrapped around her carotid artery, it has proved too difficult. If left untreated, acromegaly can be life-threatening, as it causes organs such as the heart and lungs to grow along with height and weight. Sufferers are at higher risk of developing diabetes and high blood pressure, while the pressure on their joints causes swelling and early onset of osteoarthritis. A . notice on Tanya's website, which has inspired and helped acromegaly . sufferers around the world, reads simply: 'It is with deep sorrow that . we announce the passing on of our beloved Tanya Angus at 12.25am on . January 14, 2013, due to her heart and TIA. RIP dear one' Transient . Ischemic Attack (TIA) is a type of mini-stroke, caused when the blood . flow to the brain stops for a period of time. Tanya had suffered a . number of TIAs in recent years. Describing . her acromegaly last year, Tanya said: 'Sometimes I feel really down . about it but to me the most important thing is that I have to tell . people about it. 'I read . emails that people send in saying: ''You're my inspiration,'' or, ''You . are so strong.'' 'If I am helping other people, I feel I can do . anything.' Tanya, whose . condition caused her to spend many hours sleeping, found her outlet . through her website, which helped her gain friends around the world. Last . year, she was able to meet some of them for the first time at an . Acromegaly Conference in Las Vegas, where fellow sufferers told Tanya . how hearing her story had caused them to seek early treatment, and . possibly saved their lives. During . the last 12 years, Tanya underwent three operations to attempt to . remove her tumour, but several different surgeons were unable to reach . part of the growth, as it was wrapped around her inner carotid artery. Her heart, lungs and the joints of her limbs continued to grow as she gained weight and height, causing huge strain on her body. Change: Photographs of Ms Angus ages 17 (left) and 31 (right) reveal how acromegaly has affected her face . Healthier times: Before her acromegaly diagnosis, Ms Angus was a keen horserider . Her . mother Karen and stepfather Allan continued to search for new ways of . tackling her condition, and last year doctors finally agreed to double . the dose of Tanya's growth inhibitor medication, which was administered . by painful injections into her spine. The treatment seemed to finally be . working, until the sad news in October that her growth hormone levels . were rising again. Tanya, . talking in 2009 about the slow onset of her growth said: 'I couldn't . understand why, as I wasn't eating more. What was strange was that my . feet seemed to grow as well. My face also started to swell and was . changing. 'I felt unhappy . with my appearance and spent a fortune on make-up. My figure also . started to change and become more manly and my voice became deeper.' The . 34-year-old, who loved jewellery and enjoyed regular swimming sessions . which helped her body feel weightless, continued to remain hopeful . throughout her life. 'Without hope you don't have anything,' she is quoted as saying. 'I hope they can stop me growing one day.' Helping hands: Ms Angus pictured with her medical team and her mother (in white) in 2010 .

The suspect: Homeless teen Maria Garate was arrested and charged with assault of a four-year-old girl and her father with a deadly weapon, police said . The crazed homeless teen who mercilessly beat a young girl and her father inside a California Walmart with a crowbar has admitted 'hunting' for Asians, authorities announced Thursday. Maria Garate, 18, was arraigned on hate crime charges that will send her to prison for life if convicted for bashing a four-year-old Asian girl in the head with the crowbar Tuesday before her father intervened and was also attacked. 'She targeted the family because they were Asian,’ deputy district attorney Kalila Spain said during a media briefing aired by KPIX. 'She attacked them, this is a premeditated, willful, deliberate act on her part.' More details in the horror case emerged as Garate was arraigned on charges of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon in the commission of a hate crime. Garate admitted to detectives that she attacked the father and daughter specifically because they were Asian. Store employees holding the crazed teen down until cops arrived said she shouted 'that little Asian b***h deserved it' while writing on the floor and trying to break free. She was shackled, handcuffed and wearing a jail-issued jumpsuit during the short hearing, and appeared emotionless as the charges were read off to her. Garate did not enter a plea and was held without bail until her next court date, authorities said. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Court appearance: Garate was informed her charges carry a hate crime accusation that would result in a life sentence if she is convicted . The young girl’s injuries are not believed to be life-threatening, store employees told KBCW, but Garate has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Garate is said by police to have walked into the Walmart with a crowbar and approached the father and daughter browsing the purse section without warning. She then whacked the four-year-old girl and then her father as he stepped in to protect her during the frenzied attack, said cops. ‘The female entered the store and, for no apparent reason, she drew a crowbar that she had carried from her person and struck the child at least twice in the head causing pretty serious injuries,’ A San Jose Police spokesperson told the station. Where it happened: The attacks is said to have occurred in the purse section of this San Jose Walmart . Police have not established a motive for the attack or said if Garate knows her victims. They were taken to a nearby hospital and released after being treated for their injuries. The teen lives in a nearby transient community known as ‘the Jungle,’ sources told the San Jose Mercury News. She is no stranger to authorities, but cops would not say why they came into contact with her in the past. Police also did not say if drugs were a factor.
