The leaked Sony emails are now claiming more victims just days after Wikileaks published thousands of the documents and made them easier to search. This time it is Bruce Jenner, whose alleged gender transition is mocked by the generally soft-spoken and affable Cameron Crowe. This in an email conversation the director was having with former studio head Amy Pascal. Scroll down for video . In a leaked Sony email Cameron Crowe (above) mocks Bruce Jenner's gender transition . He makes a joking reference to Jenner's (above) transition while speaking with Amy Pascal (right) While discussing his upcoming film Aloha, which stars an all-star cast that includes Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, and Alec Baldwin, Pascal asked Crowe if he had anything to show her from the movie in October 2014. Crowe's response to this was; 'DOES BRUCE JENNER WANT BOOBS? HELL YES I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU!!!! (looking at tuesday).' It was revealed in previous leaked emails that Pascal is now fan of Crowe's upcoming film, writing in one email; 'I'm never starting a movie again when the script is ridiculous. I don't care how much I love the director and the actors. It never, not even once, ever works.' She also said of the movie; 'People don't like people in movies who flirt with married people or married people who flirt.' Crowe has yet to respond to this leaked email. This while the two are discussing Crowe's upcoming film Aloha (above), which stars Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper . Jenner meanwhile is set to discuss his transition in an upcoming inter with Diane Sawyer. This as it was revealed reported that only Khloe Kardashian initially supported him through his decision. 'Besides Khloé, the Kardashians were not on board with his transition,' a source told US Weekly. 'His boys, Brody and Brandon stuck by him, but Bruce feels like Kris and her girls only support him publicly to make themselves look good.'

In a leaked Sony email Cameron Crowe mocks Bruce Jenner's gender transition with Amy Pascal . When the director is asked if he has anything to show Pascal from his new movie Aloha he responds; 'Does Bruce Jenner want boobs? Hell yes' Aloha, which stars Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper, was blasted in a previously leaked email by Pascal .

David Cameron yesterday made a last-ditch plea for Ukip supporters to ‘come home’ to the Conservatives. In a direct appeal to voters who have shifted allegiance to Nigel Farage’s party, the Prime Minister vowed to ‘do more’ to respond to concerns about immigration. With the election on a knife-edge, he warned that it is ‘not the time to send a message or make a protest’. Doing so could put the economic recovery at risk by allowing Labour back into power, said the Tory leader. David Cameron tonight issued an impassioned plea for Ukip voters to 'come back home' to the Conservatives . Mr Cameron also conceded that he understood the ‘frustrations’ of Ukip voters. It is a significant peace offering by the Prime Minister, who once dismissed Ukip as ‘fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists’. Speaking in Bristol yesterday, he said to those who had left the Tory fold: ‘Look, we’ve heard the message loud and clear about the things you want to see changed and we’ll change those things. Come with us, come back home to us, rather than risk all of this good work being undone.’ The latest polls have put the Conservatives and Labour virtually neck and neck. A YouGov poll on Sunday had the Tories on 34 per cent, one point ahead of Labour, and Ukip in third place with 13 per cent of votes. A poll in Tory-held South Thanet – where Mr Farage is running for Parliament – shows him in second place, and pollsters now believe Ukip will win just a handful of seats. David Cameron's hopes of staying in Number 10 have been buoyed by opinion polls showing a steady squeeze in support for Ukip. As the election gets closer, voters appear to be drifting away from Nigel Farage's party. After hitting 18 per cent in the polls at the European elections last year, Ukip has seen its support drop by around five points. The Tories, meanwhile, have jumped ahead of Labour. The most recent surveys have given Mr Cameron's party a slender one-point lead - with around 34 per cent of the vote. Mr Farage is also facing a fight to be elected in Thanet South. The Ukip leader has seen a comfortable lead slip and is now trailing in second place behind the Tories. A leaked poll showed the Tories in the lead in the Kent constituency Mr Farage is fighting with 31 per cent support. Mr Farage is on 30 per cent, with Labour in third on 29 per cent. The Prime Minister was joined by George Osborne for a speech at the Bristol and Bath Science Park this evening . But there are deep concerns that support for Ukip, fuelled by the Conservatives’ failure to meet their pledge to cut immigration to ‘tens of thousands’, could swing enough votes in other seats to hand Ed Miliband a victory. Mr Cameron, who also promised a referendum on Europe, said the Government had turned around the economy and cut taxes for working people. Mr Cameron has previously accused Nigel Farage supporters of being 'fruitcakes and loonies' ‘To keep generating the jobs and the growth our country needs, come back to us, come back home to us,’ he pleaded. The PM warned those who voted for ‘a minor party’ risked ending up with Ed Miliband propped up by the SNP’s Nicola Sturgeon, ‘driving him into even more spending, welfare unlimited, debt bloat’. Mr Cameron said the prospect of a minority Labour government held in power by the SNP was a ‘nightmare scenario’ and said the Conservatives ‘need’ Ukip support. ‘We are 23 seats short from an overall majority,’ he said. ‘We can provide that clear, decisive and frankly more accountable government that a majority Conservative government would deliver. We need those 23 seats.’ Mr Farage immediately attacked the Prime Minister and said he would not win Ukip voters back. He said former Labour and Tory voters have found a ‘more authentic home’ where they do not get ‘roundly abused by their hosts’. Meanwhile, the ‘defection’ of a Tory parliamentary candidate to Ukip descended into farce yesterday when it was revealed he had already been dropped by the Conservatives. Nigel Farage hailed the move by Mike Whitehead as a ‘hammer blow’ for the PM. But the Tories said the candidate for Hull West and Hessle had been ‘sacked’ for threatening to stand as an independent.

PM said he understood why Tory supporters had backed Nigel Farage . He pledged to do more on immigration and Europe if re-elected on May 7 . Mr Cameron has previously described Ukip supporters as 'fruitcakes' Made the plea at campaign rally in which he warned over Labour tax plans .

(CNN)Iran's President on Friday hailed the proposed international deal on his country's nuclear program, vowing that Iran will stick to its promises and -- assuming other countries live up to their end of the bargain -- become a more active, engaged player in world affairs. "Some think that we should either fight ... or we should surrender to other powers," President Hassan Rouhani said. "However, we believe none of that. There is a third path. We can cooperate with the world." Rouhani said his government kept its word to Iranians when negotiating the framework deal, which was agreed upon Thursday and sets parameters for talks that could lead to a comprehensive deal by a June 30 deadline. Chief among them is that Iran would keep at least some centrifuges and no longer face international sanctions. He thanked Iranians for their patience and for "resisting" by standing up for the country's rights. As to the rest of the world, the Iranian President said he thinks most now realize that Iran "is pursuing peaceful objectives." That means trying to develop nuclear energy, not nuclear weapons, as many feared. That fear, combined with distrust of Iran's leaders, spurred the sanctions and the Middle Eastern nation's isolation. "We do not lie," Rouhani said, vowing that Iran will be true to its word, "provided the other parties will implement their own promises." What Iranians think of the deal . Those promises include reducing Iran's stockpile of low-enriched uranium by 98% for 15 years and significantly scaling back its number of installed centrifuges. Still, while it will be shrunken and centralized, Iran's nuclear program won't go away. What should happen -- assuming there's a common view that Tehran is doing as required -- is that countries will end their sanctions. That was non-negotiable for Iran, with Rouhani saying the deal shows his government's commitment to removing a major "obstacle ... for business" by addressing the world's worries about its nuclear program. "We need economic productivity, employment for the youth and development of non-oil products," he said. "Thus our people can witness better things for their welfare." It won't be easy, of course, to get Iran and the P5+1 -- the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany -- on the same page regarding the nitty-gritty details of any final agreement, if there is one. After all, it took two extra days past a self-imposed deadline for the parties to reach a framework deal. What's in the deal? 7 key points . That agreement followed about a decade of often failed negotiations and deep-rooted acrimony, particularly between Iran and the United States. Those tensions haven't disappeared, nor is there any guarantee that talks won't fall apart again over the next three months. Even as he applauded what he called a "good deal," President Barack Obama pointed out Thursday that "if Iran cheats, the world will know it." His government is also being pressed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who blasted the agreement Friday as posing a "grave danger" by legitimizing Iran's nuclear program and making it easier for Iran to develop nuclear weapons. On the Iranian side, Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has acknowledged that "mutual mistrust" has long plagued talks. He notes Iran still has "serious differences with the United States," even after Thursday's agreement. Still, Rouhani expressed hopes Friday the nuclear negotiations will change that by further opening up Iran to the rest of world, including long-standing adversaries. "We do shake hands with them. ... Even those countries we have tensions with, we would like an end to the animosity," he said. "Cooperation and interaction would be in the interest of everyone." Netanyahu: Iran must recognize Israel's right to exist .

Iranian President says a nuclear deal would remove a major obstacle for business . "We can cooperate with the world," President Hassan Rouhani insists . He says, "We do not lie," and Iran will abide by its promises on nuclear deal .

After the launch of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, several new owners complained that the slim aluminium phones bent out of shape after being placed in tight pockets. So to avoid another ‘bend gate,’ Apple is rumoured to be planning on using stronger materials to construct its next generation smartphone. The forthcoming phone could feature the same 7000 series aluminium as its forthcoming Apple Watch Sport edition, which is reportedly also used in competition bicycles. Scroll down for videos . And to avoid another ‘bend gate’ Apple is rumoured to be planning on using stronger materials to construct its next generation smartphone. This image shows a bent iPhone 6S . The material would make the next iPhone 60 per cent harder than the iPhone 6, Taiwan-based Economic Daily News reported. The metal is the same as that used to make professional sports bikes but has been altered by Apple to make it lighter, according to Cult of Mac. The forthcoming phone could feature the same 7000 series aluminium as its forthcoming Apple Watch Sport edition (pictured), which is reportedly also used in competition bicycles . The Apple Watch Sport has a lightweight anodised aluminium case. Apple used a new alloy of 7000 Series aluminium that's 60 per cent stronger than standard alloys. The same alloy is used to make racing bikes. The display is protected by strengthened Ion-X glass. Together, the materials make the Sport edition 30 per cent lighter than the other Apple Watch models. Apple polishes the aluminium used in its Sports watch then anodises it to using tint zirconia beads to create a hard and scratch-proof outer layer. ‘We believe this aluminium alloy sets a new standard both in the way it performs and the way it looks,’ Apple’s Senior Vice President of Design Jony Ive said previously. The next generation iPhones, which are expected to be called the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus, are expected to be unveiled in September and may include a A9 chip and Force Touch Feature, which also features in the Apple Watch. It’s also possible that the Californian tech giant will release a four-inch version of the phone called the iPhone 6C. Days after the launch of the iPhone 6, owners revealed they can be bent out of shape when stowed in a pocket. The handset is made from a combination of 6000 series anodised aluminium and stainless steel with titanium inserts, Forbes reported. Apple polishes the aluminium used in its Sports watch then anodises it to using tint zirconia beads to create a hard and scratch-proof outer layer . Addressing ‘bend gate’ after the phone’s launch, Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller said: 'With normal use, a bend in iPhone is extremely rare and through our first six days of sale, a total of nine customers have contacted Apple with a bent iPhone 6 Plus.' Tests showed that the phone bent out of shape under 100lbs of pressure - the same as the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. But accusations of unintentionally bendy handsets have dogged Apple since 2012, when some users claimed the iPhone 5 and later the iPhone 5S had a similar weakness. The reason for the bend is due to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus being made out of aluminium. Aluminium is a relatively soft metal and is fairly ductile and flexible so, if enough pressure is applied, it will bend and move. According to iMore, no part of either of the new iPhones has more than a quarter of an inch (0.64cm) of aluminium in any spot. This means that, in areas of the phones that are weakest, it’s possible it could be susceptible to bending. This is noticeable in images, with many of the bends occurring near the volume buttons and the SIM card slot. These areas have segments of the shell cut out to make room for the buttons and SIM card, so there is less aluminium - and they are more likely to bend. To stop the phone bending, users need to ensure that they do not put increased pressure on the middle of the phone. For example, do not have it sideways in a pocket, as your pocket will push it against your leg, possibly causing bending. Putting it in your back pocket could also have a similar effect, so storing it in a shirt pocket or bag might be a better option. Another option would be to make sure you have a case for the phone so that it can maintain its rigidity even when pressure is applied.

Rumours suggest Apple will used 7000 series aluminium in the next iPhone . Alloy is already used to make sports bikes and the Apple Watch Sport . Would make next handset 60 per cent stronger than the iPhone 6's case . Just days after its launch the handset was shown to be easily bent .

Punters have reacted with a mixture of amusement and fury to the announcement Future Music Festival will not return to Australia in 2016. Many people were genuinely upset over the cancellation - blaming the festival organisers for sending themselves broke by spending too much money on headline acts Drake and Avicii. But others were quick to make fun of Future festival goers, blaming 'shirtless f***wits' for ruining the festival and joking that 'gym memberships and ecstasy dealers' would be hardest hit. Scroll down for video . Music fans pose during the Future Music Festival at Sydney's Randwick Racecourse in February this year . Punters have reacted with a mixture amusement and fury to the announcement Future Music Festival will not return to Australia in 2016 . 'What will we do with all the d*****bags in singlets?' Adam Connelly joked on Twitter. 'BUT WHERE WILL I WALK AROUND WITHOUT A SHIRT WHILST ON PINGAZ?!' Jake Finnigan posted on Facebook. More than 230 people were arrested over drug-related offences at Future Music Festival events around the country, which took place in Sydney, Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane between February 28 and March 9. On Thursday, organisers of the annual event released a statement announcing that it has been cancelled. Many people were genuinely upset over the announcement - blaming the festival organisers for sending themselves broke by spending too much money on headline acts Drake and Avicii . In a statement it was explained that due to low ticket sales and high operational costs, the festival could not continue . In the beginning: The festival first began in 2006 as a standalone one day festival in Sydney . 'It’s been a difficult decision to make but in the end travelling the festival in its current form across Australia simply doesn’t make financial sense anymore' the statement read. Following Thursday's announcement, music fans took to social media to express their disappointment. 'I've been to 5 out of the last 6 futures in Sydney and it's always been my favourite festival. However it was pretty obvious with your lineup this year that there was trouble in the camp,' Matt Duffy wrote on Facebook. 'I reckon Avicii and Drake alone would of sent you broke! I hope some people get crucified for this!' Following Thursday's announcement, music fans took to social media to express their disappointment . The decision comes just one month after the festival made its way through the major cities in the country . Meanwhile Faith Van Lith posted: 'These "superstar" DJs need to stop charging such retarded amounts of money they are destroying their own industry.' Another fan posted on Twitter: 'Future Music festival [because] DJs charge way too much. I mean is it really necessary to charge 250K for an hour?' Promoting company Mushroom Group released a subsequent statement explaining the decision. 'Despite the considerable critical acclaim of the 2015 festival, the last two years of ticket sales for the festival have underperformed, meaning Future Music Festival will not be returning in 2016'. Last time: The decision came just one month after the festival made its way around the country and was headlined by Avicii . On stage: Canadian rapper Drake was also a co-headliner at the dance festival this year . The decision comes just one month after the festival made its way through the major cities in the country this year, which was headlined by rapper Drake and DJ Avicii. Speaking to The Music  Group Chairman Michael Gudinski said: '...the cost to physically stage the events has significantly increased, even in just two years.' 'The fluctuating dollar also hasn’t helped and the increasing popularity of EDM [electronic dance music] in the States has seen DJ fees escalating out of control.' Mixing it up: Known for blending dance and rap artists in to the lineup, Macklemore performed on the 2014 bill . Gudinski believes that touring festivals will eventually be phased out altogether in Australia. '...Australia is following a trend that’s already been seen in America where touring festivals have become a thing of the past...Instead, stand-alone location festivals such as Coachella and Lollapalooza are going from strength to strength.' There is some positive news for disappointed fans as it was confirmed that the under 18 version of the festival, Good Life will continue. Crowd favoruites: Dance group The Prodigy performed at this years festival as well in 2013 and 2010 . Back to work: Future Music also marked the first slew of shows for singer Example this year after taking time off to be with his wife and newborn son . On the road: The festival's huge success saw it travel to Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide from 2007 onward . Mushroom Group also announced they are planning 'a new festival concept' which will take place in the same period that Future Music was held. The festival first began in 2006 as a standalone one day festival in Sydney, however its huge success saw it travel to Brisbane, Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide from the next year onward. Some local and international talent who have taken to the Future Music stage over the years include The Prodigy, Bloc Party, Skrillex, Rita Ora, Kesha and Macklemore.

Michael Carrick's outstanding second-half performance for England against Italy on Tuesday night has put him on course to become the longest-serving outfield player to represent the Three Lions behind Sir Stanley Matthews. Carrick made his England debut against Mexico in May 2001 as a teenager with West Ham United and if – as now seems likely – he carries through to Euro 2016, he will be the first non-goalkeeper since the legendary Sir Stanley to have an international career spanning more than 15 years. Matthews won his 54 England caps over a 23-year period between 1934 and 1957, interrupted of course by the Second World War. Michael Carrick's appearance for England against Italy on Tuesday night keeps him in the longest-serving list . Carrick has played for England for 13 years, 310 days - while Sir Stanley Matthews reached 22 years, 228 days . Sir Stanley runs with the ball in action for England against Brazil at Wembley in an international friendly . Stanley Matthews (1934-57) 22 yrs, 228 days . Peter Shilton (1970-90) 19 yrs, 224 days . Frank Lampard (1999-2014) 14 yrs, 257 days . Steven Gerrard (2000-2014) 14 yrs, 23 days . David Seaman (1988-2002) 13 yrs, 335 days . Michael Carrick (2001- ) 13 yrs, 310 days . ...AND THE LEGENDS HE OVERTOOK . David Beckham (1996-2009) – 13 yrs, 43 days . Sir Bobby Charlton (1958-70) 12 yrs, 23 days . Bobby Moore (1962-73) 11 yrs, 178 days . Gary Lineker (1984-1992) 8 yrs, 22 days . Carrick was hailed by Manchester United team-mate Wayne Rooney as 'the best player on the pitch by a mile' after the 33-year-old was introduced as a half-time substitute in Turin and helped Roy Hodgson's men fight back to earn a 1-1 draw. His longevity already surpasses that of great names like Sir Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, David Beckham and Gary Lineker and if he continues to play in the next European Championship he will overtake Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard too. The only player to have had a longer career since Matthews is goalkeeper Peter Shilton who played for England between 1971 and 1990. It also begs the question why Carrick, who has won four Premier League titles and the Champions League with Manchester United, has been used so sparingly by his country at international tournaments. He played once at the 2006 World Cup in a 1-0 victory against Ecuador, was in the squad but never played by Fabio Capello in the disastrous 2010 campaign in South Africa, and wasn't even selected by Roy Hodgson last year in Brazil, even though England's perennial problem has been keeping the ball. With Rooney now captain and clearly a huge fan of the midfielder, it seems unlikely Carrick will be overlooked again and is now finally getting the recognition he deserves. The 33-year-old may still have a few years left but remains a long way off Sir Stanley's record .

Rip up a piece of paper, and you can piece it back together. Burn a book, and you could theoretically do the same. But send information into a black hole, and it's lost forever – or at least that's what many physicists have been arguing for nearly half a decade. Now, one scientist says this may not be true, and that interactions between particles emitted by a black hole can reveal information about what lies within. For nearly 40 years, physicists have argued that black holes suck in information and then evaporate without leaving behind any clues as to what they once contained. Now, one scientist says this may not be true . 'According to our work, information isn't lost once it enters a black hole,' says Dejan Stojkovic, an associate professor of physics at the University at Buffalo. 'It doesn't just disappear.' His new paper presents explicit calculations demonstrating how information is preserved, he says. This is an important discovery because even physicists who believed information remains in black holes have struggled to show, mathematically, how this happens. The research marks a significant step toward solving the 'information loss paradox,' a problem that has plagued physics for almost 40 years, says Dr Stojkovic. The paradox posed a huge challenge for the field of physics because it meant that information inside a black hole could be permanently lost when the black hole disappeared. Last year, Hawking revised his theory by declaring that black holes were in fact 'grey'. The grey hole theory would allow matter and energy to be held for a period of time before being released back into space . In the 1970s, Stephen Hawking proposed that black holes were capable of radiating particles, and that the energy lost through this process would cause the black holes to shrink and eventually disappear. But last year, Hawking revised his theory by declaring that black holes were in fact 'grey' The grey hole theory would allow matter and energy to be held for a period of time before being released back into space. He says that the idea of an event horizon, from which light cannot escape, is flawed. He suggests that instead light rays attempting to rush away from the black hole’s core will be held as though stuck on a treadmill and that they can slowly shrink by spewing out radiation. Hawking told the journal Nature: 'There is no escape from a black hole in classical theory. [But quantum theory] enables energy and information to escape from a black hole'. A full explanation of the process, Hawking admits, would require a theory that successfully merges gravity with the other fundamental forces of nature. This is a violation of quantum mechanics, which states that information must be conserved.

But last year, Hawking revised his theory by declaring that black holes were in fact 'grey' The grey hole theory would allow matter and energy to be held for a period of time before being released back into space. How exactly it's possible to recover information from a black hole has remained a topic of debate. Instead of looking only at the particles a black hole emits, the latest study also takes into account the subtle interactions between the particles. Interactions between particles can range from gravitational attraction to the exchange of mediators like photons between particles. Such 'correlations' have long been known to exist, but many scientists discounted them as unimportant in the past. 'These correlations were often ignored in related calculations since they were thought to be small and not capable of making a significant difference,' Stojkovic says. 'Our explicit calculations show that though the correlations start off very small, they grow in time and become large enough to change the outcome.'

These are the unbelievable scenes captured on a police car dashcam when a man drove at 80 miles per hour in a bid to escape arrest. Yassir Ali, 29, of no-fixed-abode, was stopped by traffic police in Birmingham at 3.45pm on February 22 after officers suspected the silver BMW 1 series may have been stolen. The camera footage shows the car pull over to the side of the road and a man get out of the passenger seat. Scroll down for video . The BMW drives recklessly through Birmingham, crossing over to the wrong side of the road against traffic . The police car struggles to keep up with the BMW after it flies through several red lights . The passenger stands in front of the police squad car while Ali speeds off. The man attempts to block the squad car while Ali tries to escape at break-neck speeds. After a few seconds, the squad car forces its way past the man and follows the BMW 1 series. The 29-year-old then raced through red lights and on the wrong side of the road, narrowly missing oncoming traffic. The dramatic chase happened as school children left their classrooms on their way home. Yassir Ali, pictured, was jailed for 14 monts for dangerous driving following the high-speed car chase through Birmingham in February . Ali flew through several junctions, ignoring red lights and pulling onto the wrong side of the road in a desperate attempt to avoid capture. The police squad car tries to keep up with Ali, but on several occasions was forced to slow down because of the danger posed to other road users. The dashcam footage shows that roads were very wet at the time of the chase and it was raining fairly heavily. Eventually the police were able to arrest Ali after he lost control of the car as he tried to swerve around a line of traffic and got stuck between a bollard and the front of a shop. Ali was jailed at Birmingham Crown Court for 14 months for dangerous driving. PC Neal Drew, from the Central Motorway Policing Group, said: 'Ali's actions that day were completely unacceptable and by driving the way he did he put innocent members of the public at risk. 'We take this kind of dangerous driving extremely seriously and that has been reflected in the lengthy sentence handed down by the courts.'

The mass stranding of 160 melon-headed whales on two beaches in Japan has triggered fears of upcoming earthquake and tsunami. The whales, which are in fact a species of dolphin, were found washed up along a 6-mile (10km) stretch of the Pacific coast of Hokato, around 60 miles (100km) north of Tokyo. Although officials are still investigating the cause of the strandings, they triggered rumours on social media of an impending earthquake. Scroll down for video . More than 160 melon-headed whales washed onto two beaches at Hokota city, north-east of Tokyo . The fears appeared to be based on the appearance of 50 melon-headed whales six days before the devastating undersea earthquake in 2011 that caused a tsunami and left 19,000 people dead. However, experts have dismissed the claims as being 'unscientific'. For centuries there have been accounts of animals behaving bizarrely before earthquakes. Now scientists have filmed the behaviour of wild animals prior to a quake and believe their study could help improve short-term seismic forecasting. They found that animals in Peru - such as pumas and razor-billed curassow birds - ran for cover days before the event. Researchers believe that the changes in behaviour may be linked to airborne ions. Led by Dr Rachel Grant of Anglia Ruskin University, experts used data gathered from a series of motion-triggered cameras located in the Yanachaga National Park in Peru. The research found that significant changes in animal behaviour began 23 days before the magnitude 7.0 Contamana earthquake that struck the region in 2011. On a typical day, the cameras would record between five and 15 animal sightings. However, within the two-day period in the run-up to the earthquake, they recorded five or fewer sightings. Instead they believe the melon-headed whales may have suffered a parasitic infection. Others believe the sandy shoals around Hokato city may have also made the animal's sonar ineffective. Toshiaki Kishiro, head of Cetacean Resources at Japan's National Research Institute of Far Seas Fisheries, said while it was possible the whales frightened by disturbances in the Earth's electromagnetic field caused by movement in the tectonic plates - there were was no firm evidence of this. Speaking to the Telegraph he said: 'This area of Japan has had many similar cases of beachings in the past, and especially of this species, so we are trying to find out why it happens.' He added that the animals, which measure two to three metres in length, could have been trying to avoid predators like killer whales and come too close to the shore. However, despite attempts to reassure the public, social media sites like Twitter have been ablaze with rumours of an impending earthquake. One Twitter user wrote: 'Is the next one coming? Be ready for a quake.' The whales first began to appear on the beach last week but officials said they had discovered eight more bodies today. Local residents had rushed to the beaches with buckets and towels in an attempt to help keep the marine mammals alive. Scientists are still investigating what caused the whales to become stranded on the beaches of Hokota city . Local resident used buckets of water in an attempt to keep the melon-headed whales alive on the beaches . Officials have spent the weekend removing and buring the dead melon-headed whales after they stranded . However, almost all of the animals have now died although a few were returned to the ocean. The strandings in 2011 before the magnitude 9 earthquake off the coast of Japan is not the first association of whale strandings with tectonic activity. Around 100 pilot whales died in a mass stranding on a remote beach in New Zealand just two days before a large earthquake hit Christchurch in 2011. The 2004 Boxing Day earthquake in the Indian Ocean that also triggered a devastating tsunami also saw 170 whales stranded on beaches in Australia and New Zealand in the days before. Those whales that survived were taken back out to sea by the Japan Coast Guard to return them to the ocean . Japan Coast Guard personnel managed to return some of the whales back to the sea . The whales were stranded on two beaches close to Hokota city around 60 miles north of Tokyo . According to the US Geological Survey, which monitors tremors around the world, there was a small magnitude 5.3 earthquake 157 miles (252km) off the coast of Namie, Japan. Quakes of this size are relatively common along the fault line. However, researchers have found it is possible detect tiny pulses in the Earth's magnetic field in the areas around the epicentre of earthquakes in the weeks before they occur. Researchers at San Jose State University have been developing new techniques to use these pulses to predict earthquakes using highly sensitive magnetometres. However, it is not know if whales have the ability to detect such tiny fluctuations. Tadasu Yamada, a senior researcher at the National Museum of Nature and Science, said investigations were still ongoing into what caused the whales to strand in Hokato. He told public broadcaster NHK: 'We don't see any immediate signs of diseases on their bodies, such as cancer. 'We want to figure out what killed these animals.' Residents struggled to return the whales to the sea after the mammals became exhausted in the shallow water . Once stranded, the animals are vulnerable to dehydration and sunburn until rescuers can use the high tide to move their massive weight back into deeper water. Efforts to save the dolphins stood in marked contrast to the global view of Japan and its relationship with cetaceans. Despite international opprobrium, Japan hunts minke and pilot whales off its coast, and has for many years also pursued the mammals in the Antarctic Ocean, where it takes advantage of a scientific exemption to an international moratorium on whaling. It has never made a secret of the fact that meat from the animals is consumed. A United Nations court ruled last year that the Antarctic hunt was a commercial venture masquerading as research, prompting Tokyo to suspend operations, but it vowed to redesign the programme to make it more scientific. The International Whaling Commission's (IWC) panel of experts said today that it opposed Japan's proposal for its scientific research whaling programme, saying it did not demonstrate a need for killing whales.

The whales washed up along a 6 mile stretch of coast near Hokato, Japan . Experts have dismissed rumours of impending earthquake as unscientific . The strandings sparked comparisons with the appearance of 50 melon-headed whales six days before the earthquake in 2011 that left 19,000 dead . Officials instead believe the whales may have suffered a parasitic infection while others say the animals may have been attempting to avoid predators .

A lack of iron, especially in women, is known to trigger hair loss, possibly because it means less oxygen is delivered to the hair follicle, but should you take iron pills to treat it? ‘This is a bit of a moot point,’ says Dr Vicky Jolliffe, a consultant dermatologist at the Royal London Hospital and a specialist in hair loss. ‘There is published evidence for and against it. All I can say is that in my practice I see lots of girls with low ferritin levels [stored iron rather than iron in your blood], who shed hair and stop shedding once you correct the ferritin level.’ Meal: Eating protein with every meal is vital to strong, healthy hair, as hair consists of protein, experts say . Sally-Ann Tarver, a former president of the Trichological Society now based at The Cotswold Trichology Centre, recommends Florisene pills (£15.95, lambertshealthcare.co.uk), which contain iron, because these don’t seem to cause the digestive irritation linked to standard pills. But Professor Andrew Messenger, a consultant dermatologist at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield, says that while there are many supplements claiming to help promote hair growth, very few have strong evidence to support them. Two years ago, a clinical trial looked into the efficacy of the supplement Viviscal (£29.99, Boots). The study involved 63 women: 33 took the supplement, 30 a placebo. After six months, the hairs in those taking the supplement had increased in width by an average of 7 per cent compared with the placebo group, which were unchanged. However, Professor Messenger remains unconvinced. ‘As far as I am aware, this study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal and did not appear to look at other parameters, such as hair density,’ he says. ‘Whether a 7 per cent increase in hair diameter can be reliably measured is doubtful, as is whether it is clinically significant.’ Research found women with increased hair-shedding responded well to iron supplements . It might be worth checking your protein intake. As Philip Kingsley, a trichologist, explains: ‘Hair consists of protein, so eating sufficient protein is vital to strong, healthy hair.’ He suggests having protein at every meal. A good diet including protein is certainly important, says Dr Jolliffe. She points to the fact that those with anorexia or a very low BMI suffer from hair loss. ‘However, I am not sure I can justify saying you need to eat protein at every meal,’ she says. There is some evidence that an amino acid (or protein building block) called l-lysine may play a role in hair loss. A review published in the Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dermatology found that women with increased hair-shedding responded well to l-lysine and iron supplements (l-lysine is thought to help the body to absorb iron). L-lysine is found in particularly large concentrations in poultry and fish, but it is also in smaller amounts in soy and eggs. However, supplements or dietary changes won’t pay dividends overnight. ‘It usually takes more than two months for the hair follicles to begin to benefit from dietary changes and as hair only grows half an inch a month, it may take as long as six months before you begin to notice any changes,’ says Philip Kingsley. ‘But stick with it because perseverance pays off.’ The caffeine in Alpecin caffeine liquid hair energiser (£7.49 for 200ml, from chemists) is said to stimulate weakened hair roots. But does it work? Professor Andrew Messenger says that a study published last year shows caffeine can stimulate human hair growth in vitro, ie in a test tube. There have also been studies showing caffeine is absorbed quickly through hair follicles, suggesting it could be active when used in a shampoo formulation. What is lacking is good clinical trial data showing an effect in vivo, ie in people, he says. ‘Interestingly, minoxidil, which does prevent hair loss in men, has no effect on hairs growing in a test tube, but does in vivo.’

Trichologist Philip Kingsley says hair consists of protein so eating it is key . He adds that dietary changes and supplements won't pay off overnight . It takes more than two months for hair follicles to begin to benefit, he says .

Researchers have discovered that the brain can remember 'neutral' or boring events more easily when they are tied to an emotion . From what we eat to what we see, we constantly take in details about our environment. And while there is no need to remember many of them, our brain has the remarkable ability to store information that seems inconsequential at the time in case it becomes useful later on. Given new and relevant information, human beings have the capacity to strengthen weak memories using emotions - and researchers have said this points to the adaptive nature of human memory. Psychologists at New York University have been trying to gain an understanding about how the brain stores memories for 'emotionally neutral events' that gain significance through subsequent experience. 'How does the brain store all of this information? And how does emotion strengthen mundane memories?' post-doctoral fellows Joseph Dunsmoor and Vishnu Murty wrote on The Conversation. This study largely focused on how our brains remember emotionally arousing stimuli, such as evocative imagery or traumatic events . In particular, the study has looked into how the September 11 terrorist attacks in the the US affect memory retention. The researchers said we take for granted that we remember highly emotional events better than we remember neutral events, like a lunch date. Emotion increases our ability to remember by affecting activity in brain regions involved in emotional processing - particularly the amygdala and striatum - and also the regions involved in encoding new experiences, like the hippocampus. Scroll down for video . Emotion also increases the strength of our memory over time - a process called consolidation. Strong emotion can strengthen memory for positive events, such as a surprise birthday party thrown by close friends, and for negative events, such as making an embarrassing faux pas at the office holiday party. Researchers said we take for granted that we remember highly emotional events, like 9/11, better than we remember neutral events, like a lunch date. This is because emotion affects activity in certain brain regions. A view over the Hudson River towards the September 11th memorial lights is shown . A power nap of just 45 minutes can boost memory by five times, research has found. A short doze helps you to retain information you have learned and 'significantly' improves recall, scientists said – meaning naps really could help students revising for exams. Participants in the study learned 90 single words and 120 unconnected word pairs such as 'milk taxi'. Some then watched a DVD while others slept. When they were then retested, those who had slept remembered more word pairs, the journal Neurobiology of Learning and Memory reported last month. Scientists from Saarland University in Germany, said that during sleep, bursts of brain activity known as sleep spindles play an important role in consolidating newly learned information. Professor Axel Mecklinger said a nap of just 45 minutes to an hour 'produces a five-fold improvement in information retrieval from memory'. 'The memory performance of the participants who had a power nap was just as good as it was before sleeping, that is, immediately after completing the learning phase.' While many details are not intrinsically emotionally arousing, they can gain emotional significance through our experiences. For example, the memory of a surprise birthday party includes details like what people were wearing and who was there. On the face of it, these details are not emotionally significant but we remember them because of the context in which they were experienced. Dr Dunsmoor and Dr Murty’s research has shown that people have better memory for boring information when it’s presented in an emotional context, regardless of if it is rewarding or negative. ‘In some of our earlier studies, we found that people selectively remember neutral pictures if the pictures had been associated with an electrical shock the previous day, even when the volunteers were unaware that we would later test their memory, they wrote. ‘We have also shown that people remember neutral pictures if they are warned that if they forget them, they will receive a shock the next day. ‘Likewise, being rewarded with money for remembering certain pictures the next day can boost memory for those pictures as well.’ These experiments focus on emotional factors at the time the original memory is created and the findings show how seemingly trivial information associated with a meaningful event can be selectively preserved in memory. Emotion also increases the strength of our memory over time - a process called consolidation. Strong emotion can strengthen memory for positive events, such as a surprise birthday party (stock image), and for negative events, such as making an embarrassing faux pas at an office party . Emotion affects activity in brain regions involved in emotional processing - such as the amygdala (pictured) and regions involved in encoding new experiences, like the hippocampus (also marked) But what happens when the emotional event happens after the original memories were formed? ‘In a recent study, we found that an emotional experience can enhance memory for neutral information encountered previously,’ the researchers continued. Volunteers viewed a series of trivial pictures from two categories, either animals or tools. After a delay, volunteers were presented with a new set of animal and tool pictures – only this time, when the volunteer saw the pictures they received an electrical shock to the wrist. ‘We already knew that memory would be strengthened for the pictures paired with the electrical shock. But here we found that if we paired shocks with pictures of animals, memory was strengthened for pictures of animals volunteers saw before any shocks were delivered. ‘If we shocked volunteers when they where shown pictures of tools, memory for the earlier pictures of tools was strengthened.’ The negative experience selectively increased memory for related information that was completely trivial when it was originally experienced. We use our memory not only to remember the past, but to guide our decisions in the future. Emotion helps us remember relevant information to determine our choices, but without the ability to strengthen seemingly trivial past experiences with new important information, we might end up missing out on future rewards or repeating the same mistakes.

New York University psychologists studied how the brain stores memories . Found boring details become more memorable with emotional context . Emotional experience can enhance memory for old neutral information .

The son of a Syrian imam who was shot dead on a London street may have met his father’s killer just days before the murder. Sources close to the investigation, which is being led by the counter-terrorism unit, told the Sunday Times that Abdul Hadi Arwani, an opponent of Syrian President Bahsar Al-Assad, had visited the area where he was killed with his son days before his death. Arwani, 48, was shot and killed in his car on a quiet street in North West London after being called there last Tuesday, apparently to provide a quote for building work. Scroll down for video . imam, Abdul Hadi Arwani (pictured), was called to a job in the area he was killed days before his death . When the imam, who had links to the Muslim Brotherhood in the UK and abroad, arrived to the house with his son and not on his own, the supposed potential client asked Arwani to come back another day. The man was identified as black and speaking with an African accent. He pretended to have lost his keys which is why he asked Arwani, a part-time builder, to return later. The Sunday Telegraph reported that the man, who has not been otherwise been identified, also told the imam that there was no need for his son to accompany him again when he did come back. Arwani's children are in little doubt their father was killed by the man asking for the building quote. Scotland Yard is looking into whether the man was a hired killer who postponed the hit because because Arwani was not alone. The counter-terrorism unit has special expertise relating to politically motivated assassinations but they are also keeping other lines of inquiry open. Aspects of Arwani’s personal life as well as his financial standing are being considered. The Syrian-born activist and imam died of multiple gunshot wounds to the chest sustained near to the junction of the Paddocks and Greenhill, Wembley. His car was parked on what has been described as a blind bend, just out of sight of CCTV. Home: Mr Arwani, originally from Syria, lived in this home in White City, west London . Arwani’s VW Passat was parked neatly on the side of the road with its engine still running and one window wound down when his body was found . Neighbours, nearby at the time of the murder, have said they did not hear any shots fired, indicating, perhaps, that the killer used a silencer. Arwani’s VW Passat was parked neatly on the side of the road with its engine still running and one window wound down when his body was found. The Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist political group to which Arwani had long-standing links, is outlawed in many Middle Eastern countries. One Syrian opposition activist has said despite Arwami’s standing and his participation in protests against the Assad regime in London in 2012 (pictured) the imam was an unlikely target for assassination . One of the imam’s friends was quoted as saying that Arwani left the group in an official capacity ‘seven or eight years ago’ but had kept ties with some of the group’s senior figures. One Muslim Brotherhood leader, Ali Sadraddine Al-Bayanouni attended a gathering in remembrance of Arwani in the capital last week. Described as ‘non-violent Islamist’ by his family Arwani had links to a number of controversial preachers. Among them was Abu Qatada, deported to Jordan and dubbed Osama Bin Laden’s man in Europe. Arwani also campaigned against the extradition of the hook-welding preacher Abu Hamzr for offences related to terrorism. Despite the connections there is nothing to suggest Arwani was anything more than a peaceful moderate. Leaving Syria in 1982 during the last, failed uprising against the Assad regime, Arwami moved to Britain in the mid 1990s. He studied Islamic Sharia in Jordan where he claimed to have been sentenced to death in his absence by Syrian authorities. One Syrian opposition activist has said despite Arwani’s standing and his participation in protests against the Assad regime in London in 2012 the imam was an unlikely target for assassination. Imam: Mr Arwani was a preacher at the An-Noor Mosque (pictured) in Acton, West London, which has a reputation for hosting fundamentalist speakers . Hassan Anywabwile (pictured) from Trinidad and Tobago was brought in to replace Arwani at the An-Noor Mosque . Bassam Tablieh, a solicitor and opponent of the Syrian government, said there were many more obvious, high priority targets for Syrian authorities to go after in London. Police are also looking into a row over finances and transparency which led to Arwani being ousted from the An-Noor mosque in Acton where he was imam up until 2011. He was replaced at his mosque by a Caribbean preacher involved in an attempted coup d'état 25 years ago. Hassan Anywabwile from Trinidad and Tobago was brought in to replace Arwani at the An-Noor Mosque. Anywabwile's name appears in the Caribbean nation's parliamentary documents surrounding a violent coup attempt in 1990 by Muslim group Jamaat al Muslimeen It is understood that Arwani wanted to register the mosque as a charity with trustees, moving it away from its current status whereby the Acton mosque operates as a company. While the building for the mosque was bought for £1 million, raised in contributions from a number of members of the community, land registry records state the sole owner to be Khalid Rashad, one of the mosque’s founders, through a firm called ‘Brickridge’. The murdered imam had reportedly begun legal proceedings in the high court over the dispute. Rashad, 61, a Muslim convert from Wembley refused to comment on the row or Arwani’s decision to leave the mosque. He referred to a statement that expressed ‘great sadness’ at the imam’s death. It has not been suggested that any members of the mosque were involved in the murder.

Out of prison and free to stroll around Ireland's capital, this is the notorious 'Black Widow' killer who murdered her husband. Catherine Nevin was allowed out on day release on Wednesday afternoon despite being jailed for life in April 2000 for arranging to having her publican husband Tom shot dead. The 62-year-old was permitted to attend an addiction studies course and was pictured leaving Mountjoy prison and making her way from Dublin's Dochas Centre to the Oblates in the city's Inchicore suburb. Black Widow Catherine Nevin leaving Mountjoy Prison as she walks to get a bus. An unsuspecting commuter sat next to her as she made her way through the city centre and to her course in the suburbs . Catherine and Tom Nevin on their wedding day. The 62-year-old was given life in prison for arranging to have her husband shot dead . She walked through the city centre to Dorset Street where she waited for a bus before attending the addiction studies course. Ireland's most infamous woman prisoner went largely unnoticed as she took the bus unaccompanied after leaving prison - with an unsuspecting female commuter sitting down next to her - according the Daily Mirror. Catherine Nevin leaving the Central Criminal Court in Dublin during her trial in 2000 . Dressed in jeans, a blue fleece top and a pair of black Ugg boots, Nevin took in sights she hasn't seen since being jailed 15 years ago. She laughed and joked with a pal for more than an hour at the nearby Applegreen Garage before her course started. She failed last July to have her conviction overturned, though this outing will fuel speculation a full release from jail is imminent. Her temporary release is understood to have been approved by the parole board and sanctioned by the Justice Minister. The course is part of her pre-release plan to help her integrate back into society once freed. Nevin's current study leave is her latest educational placement after she studied the same topic at the Mounttown Community Facility in Dun Laoghaire last October. While attending that course, run by the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Drugs Task Force, she was always accompanied by prison warders. Completion of the course gives participants a FETAC Level 5 Addiction Studies Certificate. It's believed that as well as attending the course in Inchicore, Nevin has also been using facilities at Maynooth University in Co Kildare and Trinity College over the past few weeks. While in prison Nevin has been keeping herself busy. She has a job in the jail library and likes to do makeovers on other inmates. It was revealed in July 2013 how Scissor Sister Charlotte Mulhall, who is serving life for murder, regarded her as a close friend in jail. Despite her high-profile conviction she has never taken responsibility for her role in the murder of Tom and is also still fighting for a share in his substantial estate. Tom Nevin was shot dead in the couple's pub, Jack White's Inn, in Brittas Bay, Co Wicklow, in March 1996. His wife was also convicted of soliciting three men – Gerry Heapes, William McClean and John Jones – to kill him. Despite her high-profile conviction she has never taken responsibility for her role in the murder of Tom and is also still fighting for a share in his substantial estate. Her trial was shrouded in controversy and has gone down in history as the longest ever murder trial in the history of Ireland. The trial and media coverage of the case was dominated by an intense focus on Nevin herself, forcing the judge to order a ban on all reporting of her clothing and appearance. No physical evidence linking her to horrific crime was ever discovered. Her conviction was based largely on the evidence of the three men she is alleged to have solicited. Nevin married Galway-born Tom in 1976. Over the following years they built up a property portfolio, before in 1986 buying the landmark pub where Tom was murdered . His death was initially investigated his death as a pub raid which had gone tragically wrong.

Mother charged: Tyecka Evans, 28, has been charged with manslaughter in the death of her 3-month-old baby, which occurred while she was out clubbing with her sister . A 28-year-old Florida woman has been charged in the death of her 3-month-old daughter who was left home alone while the mother was out dancing last week. Tyecka Shanta Evans, a mother of two from Ocala, was taken into custody Tuesday after her youngest child, 3-month-old Taliya Richardson, was discovered unresponsive at home last Thursday. Evans initially told police she had dozed off and woke up in the living room to find that her daughter had crawled over a pillow on the floor and had a plastic shopping bag over her head. But Evans later changed her story and admitted that she had left her two children, ages 9 and three months, and her 1-year-old nephew home alone at 1am to go to a club with her sister and the woman's boyfriend. When she returned home to the Parkside Garden Apartments on Northwest Second Street from her outing at around 2.40am, Taliya was found unresponsive. Surveillance video from the housing complex shows Tyecka Evans arriving home by car at 2.36am and running into her apartment, reported Fox 35. Moments later, she reemerges and waves at her sister downstairs, signalling for to come up. Evans' young daughter was rushed to Munroe Regional Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead less than 30 minutes later. Home alone: After initially telling police that she was sleeping at home when her child stopped breathing, Evans later admitted that she went out for nearly two hours and found her daughter unresponsive upon her return to Parkside Garden Apartments in Ocala, Florida . Toyana Evans (left), Tyecka's sister, could face charges for lying to police. Both women have criminal records and have been arrested multiple times . Hospital staff said the 28-year-old mom was crying and appeared distraught, reported the Ocala Star Banner. During questioning, she told detectives she did not want to go to the club Thursday night, but her sister kept insisting and eventually she decided to join her. Evans now faces manslaughter charges. She was released from jail Tuesday night after posting $30,000 bail. Toyana Evans, Tyecka's sister, also could face charges for allegedly lying to police, according to the station WESH. Online records indicate that Tyecka Evans has a lengthy criminal record, which includes at least 10 arrests since 2009 on various charges ranging from traffic violations to grant theft and uttering forged bills.

Mauricio Pochettino believes Harry Kane and Ryan Mason have not been able to show the same level of consistency since they returned from England duty and hopes to see a big improvement when Spurs face Newcastle. Kane has been one of the stars of the Premier League, scoring 29 goals in all competitions for Tottenham, and is just one away from becoming their first player since Gary Lineker in 1992 to hit 30 goals in a season. The England forward has been nominated for both PFA Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year. England call-up hurt the form of Harry Kane, according to his Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino . Pochettino believes that midfielder Ryan Mason has also been affected by the call-up . Mason has been one of the best young midfielders in England this season and has burst on to the international scene in his first full season in the top flight. But since being called into Roy Hodgson’s squad for the first time for the games against Lithuania and Italy, the duo have been well below their best as Spurs slumped to a goalless draw against Burnley and a shock 1-0 home defeat against Aston Villa last weekend. Pochettino said: ‘When players get their first call-up, they try to show they are good enough and try to impress the national manager, and because they are over-motivated they expend a lot of energy. ‘When you come back to the team, the consequence is that for two or three weeks you are a little bit down. It is normal and this happened at Southampton too. ‘I remember that we were third in the table and we went to play against Arsenal in November. If we won, with three points we’d have been first in the table. The performance wasn’t good. Why? Because we’d spent a lot of energy and it was difficult to keep our focus on the normal life. Pochettino hopes the pair can improve their standard of recent performances against Newcastle . Kane scored on his England debut after coming on as a substitute against Lithuania at Wembley last month . ‘I remember my first call-up for Argentina against Holland. I was up on a cloud for a month after it because it was unbelievable to play for the national team. When I got back to Espanyol it was difficult. I’d been away for 15 days with my national team and I came back and I said, “Oh, but now I play with Redondo, Batistuta...” You feel like a superstar and then you have to go back to Espanyol.’ Meanwhile, Pochettino has told supporters to judge him on where Tottenham finish next season. He added: ‘This season was one of transition. We brought a lot of young players, we got to a cup final at Wembley. Next season we need to build a team to fight for the top four.’

Mauricio Pochettino says Harry Kane has struggled since England debut . Also believes his team-mate Ryan Mason is suffering as well . 21-year-old Kane has scored 29 goals in all competitions this season .

Former captain of the fictional Star Trek Enterprise, William Shatner has proposed a radical method to solve California’s ongoing drought disaster. He is planning to run a Kickstarter campaign and is hoping to raise $30 billion (£20 billion) to build a pipeline from Seattle to bring water to the state. But the proposal to build a pipeline hundreds of miles long has been declared 'highly illogical' by some experts. Scroll down for video . Former captain of the fictional Star Trek Enterprise, William Shatner (pictured) has revealed radical proposals in an interview with Yahoo News. He wants to build a 4ft-wide pipeline from Seattle down to California to transport water and solve the state's ongoing drought problem . He revealed the crowdfunding campaign in an interview with David Pogue from Yahoo News. Mr Shatner likened his project to a similar pipeline in Alaska - with, in this case, the pipeline running from Seattle to California down the I-5 highway. Since the year 2000, seven western states in the US has seen their driest periods in centuries: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. And scientists in California have warned that the region may be experiencing a century-long 'mega-drought'. The warnings came after sediment studies showed California is currently experiencing the driest spell since 1580, and that the regular rainfall seen during the last century is likely to have been a temporary deviation in a cycle of droughts and very occasional rainfall over the last 3,000 years. In 2013, California received less rain than in any year since its formation as a state in 1850. And the last four years have seen the worst conditions, with the entire state of California now declared to be experiencing a drought. The pipeline would reportedly be used to fill one of the rapidly drying lakes in California. He said Seattle was ‘a place where there’s a lot of water’ - although its state, Washington, is also experiencing a major drought. Without going into specifics, Mr Shatner added he would need a ‘large, four-foot pipeline’ above ground to keep enough water flowing. On his website though, Shatner’s Water, he is letting people suggest other ideas for what to do with the money - if the campaign is successful. If he doesn’t get the funding he requires, Mr Shatner says he will give the money he raises to a politician. However, Kickstarter doesn’t allow campaigners to keep any money if they don’t reach their target, so Mr Shatner may need to use a site such as Indiegogo instead, which does. The funding campaign has not yet launched and cynics have suggested that the proposal was tongue-in-cheek, or may have been a joke. On Twitter, Mr Shatner responded to some of these comments by posting: ‘I know I need experts and @algore and @elonmusk should be asked to weigh in and join the conversation,’ he said. And responding to complaints that Washington was also experiencing a severe drought, he said: ‘I think [Washington] folks are thinking I’m coming in with football field sized sponges in the middle of the night to steal their water.’ The ongoing drought is one of California's worst in history. The last four years have seen the worst conditions, with the entire state of California now declared to be experiencing a drought said the US Department of Agriculture. This graphic shows the areas that have been hit the worst . Without going into specifics, Mr Shatner said he would need a ‘large, four-foot pipeline’ above ground to keep enough water flowing. On his website Shatner’s Water, he is also letting people suggest other ideas for what to do with the money - if the campaign is successful. One of the alternative proposals is pictured . California has had to drastically cut back on water use to deal with the four-year drought that continues to cause devastation. But the Washington Department of Ecology spokesman Dan Partridge said that Mr Shatner’s plan was not necessarily the solution they needed. ‘Frankly we found it highly illogical, to put it in “Star Trek” terms,’ he said. ‘This would involve so many obstacles, so many hurdles that it would have to overcome to become reality. ‘Namely the water of Washington state, you have to acquire a number of rights to use that water and we would not be approving transfer of a huge volume of water out of our state at this point in time when we have a drought of our own to deal with.’ Bone dry: A Californian farmer is pictured surveying his drought-hit land in San Luis Obispo County .

Apple is thought to have sold more than one million of its smartwatches in the first 24 hours it was available for pre-order. But UK buyers who are prepared to wait to get their hands on the eagerly anticipated wearable may want to snap up an Apple Watch on holiday, because Britain is the most expensive place in the world to buy one. The most expensive Edition model costs up to £2,500 more in the UK compared to elsewhere in the world, while at the lower end of the scale British buyers pay up to £63 more for the Sport model. Britain is the most expensive place in the world in buy the Apple Watch. The three models are pictured above. The Sport, shown left is round £63 more expensive in the UK than the US and there is a difference in price of over £1,230 when it comes to the luxurious Watch Edition (right) The gadget is available to pre-order in nine countries. The cheapest model is the 38mm Sport version and costs £299 in the UK. In the US, the same model costs $349, but this doesn't include sales tax. Sales tax in the US depends on the region where the product is sold, but as an example California has one of the highest rates - at 9% - while Montana has zero. With both of these sales taxes added to the price of the Sports model in the US, the total cost works out at $380.41 (£257) and $349 (£236) in the respective states. This is a difference of £42 when bought in California, compared to the UK, and £63 when compared to Montana. The effect is magnified for the top-of-the-range Edition version, which costs from £8,000 for the 38mm model in Britain, compared to a starting price of $10,000 in the US. At the time of writing, $10,000 converts to £6,769 - which equates to a difference of £1,231 before charges are taken into account. The most expensive version of the 38mm edition in the UK is £13,500 in the UK, and $17,000 in the US. When sales taxes are added to the US model, the price rises to $18,530 in California, which converts to £12,543 - a difference of £957. All prices shown in the table above are for the most expensive option in each model and region. Prices also include all relevant sales taxes. Beneath each foreign price is the conversion rate in GBP. In the US, California was chosen because it has one of the highest sales taxes at 9%, while Montana was chosen for the opposite end of the scale because it doesn't have a sales tax. Quebec in Canada has one of the highest sales taxes at 15%, while Alberta has one of the lowest at 5%. Prices and conversions were correct at the time of writing. But the difference isn't just visible between the UK and US. In Australia, for example, the most expensive 38mm Edition costs $21,000 AUD, which converts to £10,832 - a difference of around £2,665 compared to the UK. In fact, during MailOnline investigations the UK price for all three models of the watch, in both sizes with all sales taxes included, still works out more expensive in all the other regions where the watch is currently available for pre-order. The only places the Watch works out cheaper in the UK is when it's compared to the most expensive 42mm Edition model in Australia and China, or the 38mm Edition in Quebec and China. Explaining the price differences, Apple told MailOnline: 'UK prices include VAT. US prices don't include sales tax.' Sales tax is calculated by multiplying the purchase price by the tax rate, which varies widely by jurisdiction, and ranges from zero to around 15 per cent in Canada. The gadget is now available in nine countries, with the cheapest model – the 38mm Sport version costing £299 in the UK. Here, Apple Watch fans in Beijing looking at the devices behind glass and on a display stand . The Apple Watch will go on sale in Apple shops and selected department stores on April 24. It will initially be available in Europe, China, Australia, Canada, Japan and America. It comes in three different versions - Sport, Watch and Edition - with each one made from different materials, such as anodized aluminium, stainless steel and 18 karat yellow or rose gold. Customers can choose either a 38mm or 42mm face, with an estimated battery of around 18 hours. These price discrepancies don't just apply to Apple products, however. MailOnline recently compared prices for the Sony PlayStation 4, GoPro Hero4 Silver edition action camera, Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Neo in black and the Apple iPad Air 2. The US is also the cheapest place to buy the 38mm Apple Watch, where it costs $549 (£366) - £110 cheaper than in the UK where it’s on sale for £479. The watch has already gone on display in Apple stores across these regions, as well as in Galeries Lafayette in Paris (pictured), Isetan in Tokyo and Selfridges in London . Prices were compared on both the UK and US Amazon sites, plus PC World in the UK and Best Buy in the US – with all taxes and VAT included. At the time of the research, the PlayStation 4 cost £327 from Amazon UK and £349 from PC World. This was compared to $435 in the US, which converts to £272. For the GoPro Hero 4 camera, prices were closer between the two countries, but UK customers still paid up to £17 more for the device. In terms of the Samsung Gear 2 Neo, prices ranged from £135 ($216) on the American Amazon site up to £190 on its UK equivalent. And Apple’s price discrepancy doesn’t just apply to its own store. Customers buying the Apple iPad Air 2 from other retailers pay £399 in the UK at PC World, compared to £340 ($544) at Best Buy in the US. MailOnline compared prices for the Sony PlayStation 4, GoPro Hero4 Silver, Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Neo, and Apple iPad Air 2. Prices were compared on UK and US Amazon sites, PC World in the UK and Best Buy in US - with all taxes and VAT included. Prices are shown in pounds and are correct at the time of writing .

Apple's Sport, Watch and Edition wearables are cheaper in US and Europe . The Edition costs up £1,100 more in the UK than it does in the US . But British prices include VAT, while US sales tax is added on top . Customers could save up to £63 buying the Sport abroad too .

Landlord: Despite attacking right to buy, Emily Thornberry has three homes . A senior Labour politician was under fire last night for attacking right to buy – while renting out a property she bought from a housing association. Emily Thornberry has come out against David Cameron’s pledge to extend the right to buy policy from council tenants to those in housing association homes. But eight years ago she and her husband bought at auction a housing association property now worth almost £1million. Tories said Miss Thornberry, who lost her frontbench job after tweeting a sneering picture of a house covered in England flags and with a white van outside, opposed right to buy but not ‘right to buy to let’. ‘This hypocrisy goes right to the heart of Ed Miliband’s Islington-based, out-of-touch Labour Party,’ said Henry Smith, who is seeking re-election as Conservative MP for Crawley. ‘They speak out against plans that help the aspirations of hardworking people on days when it’s politically useful.’ Housing association chiefs have also been accused of hypocrisy for drawing huge salaries and living in mansions while wishing to deny tenants a foot on the property ladder. Ruth Davison, of the National Housing Federation, which represents housing associations, has a£1million home in fashionable Islington, north London. Miss Thornberry yesterday retweeted an article from the federation attacking right to buy. And, in a question-and-answer session last week, the Labour candidate for Islington South and Finsbury criticised the policy directly. She said: ‘I don’t have a problem per se with people being able to buy their council flat or council house, so long as it is replaced like for like. 'And that’s what the problem has been. There has been a massive sell-off but they have not been replaced.’ Council house tenants in England can already buy their home at a discount of up to £103,900. The Tories would extend this to 800,000 housing association tenants who now have limited purchase rights and to 500,000 who have no rights at all. Around 2.7million people live in these properties. The subsidies would be funded by making councils sell their more costly properties when they become vacant. Each would be replaced on a one-for-one basis. The picture that cost Miss Thornberry her job as shadow attorney general was taken during the Rochester by-election, which was won by Ukip. The case highlighted just how much high-value property Miss Thornberry owned. Costly tweet: Emily Thornberry lost her frontbench job after tweeting this picture, with the sneering caption 'Image from #Rochester' while on the campaign trail in Medway, Kent . She lives with her husband, high court judge Sir Christopher Nugee, in a four-storey Victorian townhouse on an exclusive crescent in Barnsbury, north London, worth almost £3million. Emily Thornberry was forced to resign from the shadow cabinet in November after sneering at a home with St George’s flags hung outside and a white van on the drive. She said she had ‘never seen anything like it’ after tweeting a photo of the terraced home while on the campaign trail for the Rochester and Strood by-election in Kent. The then-shadow attorney general, who lives in a £3million north London house, wrote mockingly alongside the photo: ‘Image from Rochester.’ At first she tried to defend her remarks but was told to quit within hours of the tweet. The home’s owner, cage fighter Dan Ware, 37, branded her a ‘snob’. Speaking at the time, leader Ed Miliband said: ‘Respect is a basic rule of politics and I’m afraid her tweet conveyed a sense of disrespect.’ Miss Thornberry also owns a £600,000 flat in Guildford, Surrey, which she bought for her mother in 2000. In March 2007, her husband bought the housing association property in Finsbury at auction for £572,000. The three-storey townhouse was bought from Ujima, a housing association catering largely for ethnic minority tenants, which went bust just months later. It is now let. The fact a housing association sells a property does not necessarily mean social housing stock has fallen. They could use the cash to build in a cheaper area. During part of her childhood, Miss Thornberry lived in a council house. At the age of seven, her parents divorced and she and her two younger brothers moved into social housing with their mother. Labour politicians continued to attack the right to buy extension yesterday. David Lammy, a potential London mayoral candidate, tweeted: ‘Extending right to buy is one of the most senseless and irresponsible pledges ever made by a British political party.’ Last night a YouGov poll for the Policy Exchange think-tank suggested 50 per cent back extended right to buy. Housing fat cat who hates right to buy is a Labour supporter with £1m home . Hypocrite? Ruth Davison, leading critic of David Cameron's plan to extent the right to buy scheme is a Labour party member and the owner of a £1million house in Islington, London . The leading critic of Conservative Party plans to give housing association tenants a right to buy herself lives in a £1million house. As director of policy and external affairs at the National Housing Federation, Ruth Davison has been leading the campaign to prevent millions of people getting a real chance of owning their own homes. But just as she did not advertise the fact that she is a member of her local Labour party in Islington, North London, neither has she revealed just how comfortable her own house is. In reality she has been one of the country’s biggest gainers from the private property boom. She also earned hefty salaries in public bodies for years when Labour was in power. Miss Davison, 44, and husband Chris Bailey, 47, who describes himself as an ‘urban regenerator, non-profit board member and social entrepreneur’, bought a large terrace house in Islington for £440,000 ten years ago. It has now rocketed to more than £1million in value. Yet on behalf of the fat-cat housing association bosses she speaks for, Miss Davison has been across the newspapers and broadcasters this week fighting to stop the Conservative election campaign proposal to extend ‘right to buy’ legislation from council house tenants to the 2.7million people living in housing association properties. Under the scheme, housing association tenants would receive discounts of tens of thousands of pounds on the market value of their homes. Miss Davison told the BBC in response to the Tory right-to-buy plans on Tuesday that it was wrong to effectively give money to ‘some of the most securely housed people in the country on some of the lowest rents’. She added: ‘We are independent organisations and charities – you can no more force a housing association to sell their assets at less than they’re worth than you can force Tesco, or even Cancer Research. So housing associations would have to be fully recompensed for any sale. There will be a cost to the taxpayer.’ Miss Davison’s first major taxpayer-funded role under Labour was at the Audit Commission, with other senior roles at Bedford and Hertfordshire Strategic Health Authority and the National Patient Safety Agency. Last night Miss Davison said: ‘The price of a family house is now beyond the reach of many – I couldn’t afford to buy my home now. ‘We need to build more homes of all types to make housing more affordable for everyone, not just give money away to the lucky few.’

Ronan Ghosh, 39, stole £200 worth of meat and wine from a Tesco store in Birmingham, court heard . A millionaire company director was caught on CCTV shoplifting £200 worth of meat and wine from a Tesco supermarket. Ronan Ghosh, 39, was filmed attempting to smuggle the goods out of the store in a bag after paying for other items at the checkout. The company boss heads a global recycling company with a turnover of £16million, lives in a £500,000 home in an exclusive neighbourhood and runs two BMWs. But a court heard that he was caught shoplifting after heading to a Tesco store following an argument with his girlfriend. His own barrister told the judge the offence ‘beggars belief’. Ghosh initially elected trial by jury but he then pleaded guilty to theft. Judge Murray Creed imposed a 12-month community order on Ghosh and told him to complete 80 hours’ unpaid work and pay £575 costs. Birmingham Crown Court heard on Tuesday that Ghosh visited the Tesco store in Stratford Road, south Birmingham, on February 21 and was captured on its security cameras selecting items, including meat and bottles of wine, which he put into a bag. Lal Amarasinghe, prosecuting, said he then went to the checkout and paid for shopping that was in his trolley, but not for what was in the bag. Ghosh was detained by a security guard and police were called. In 2009, the businessman set up RG Recycling – based in Solihull, West Midlands – after more than a decade working in the plant and recycling industry. Charnjit Jutla, defending, told the court the firm supplies ‘high-value machinery for the recycling industry’. He added: ‘It is a global business. It has a yearly turnover of £16million. It beggars belief as to why he finds himself in this court. He accepts full responsibility for what he has done.’ Mr Jutla said Ghosh, who lives in a tree-lined road in Solihull, was ‘disappointed with himself and shocked and embarrassed’. On the day of the theft, his father had told him his mother had been diagnosed with skin cancer and that had ‘worried him a lot’. Mr Jutla said there was also a will being discussed within the family which had put considerable strain on him. Ghosh told police he had visited the Tesco store after having an argument with his girlfriend. He claimed he had not intended to steal the goods. Ghosh, who lives in a luxury £550,000 house in leafy Solihull, initially elected trial by jury at Birmingham Crown Court but then pleaded guilty to theft. He was given a 12-month community order and must pay £575 in costs . One neighbour of Ghosh said yesterday: ‘He has two really nice cars – BMWs. It’s bizarre that he would do something like shoplifting. He seems really nice and pleasant.’ A number of people in the public eye have been accused of shoplifting. In 2012, celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson was cautioned by police after being caught stealing cheese, onions and discounted coleslaw during five shoplifting episodes in 16 days at a Tesco store in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. The father-of-four later said counselling sessions had identified childhood abuse as a possible trigger for the shoplifting spree. Sue Terry, the mother of Chelsea and former England football captain John Terry, was cautioned along with his mother-in-law, Sue Poole, in 2009 after being caught with £800 of food and clothes from Tesco and Marks & Spencer in Weybridge, Surrey. In 1990, TV presenter Richard Madeley was accused of taking wines, spirits and soap powder from a Tesco store in Didsbury, south Manchester. He was cleared the following year.

In a sport so often dominated by egos, the idiom ‘if he was chocolate, he’d eat himself’ could be used on a weekly basis in boxing. And going by the sobriquet ‘Kid Chocolate’, you might expect Peter Quillin to have an appetite to match his ring alias. Instead, the man who will stand in the opposite corner to Limerick’s Andy Lee next weekend comes across as anything but the egotist. Peter Quillin (left) may be nicknamed 'Kid Chocolate' but he shows none of the expected arrogance . At times, the 31-year-old’s verbal patter buzzes with a modesty and philosophical slant which often betrays the expectations of a hard-hitting middleweight, carrying a 71 per-cent knockout rate in his undefeated record. Only once during the course of an exclusive interview with Sporstmail does Quillin speak with a hint of bite to match the aggression that saw him put Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam on the canvas six times en route to his 2012 world-title win. This comes when he is questioned about the criticism he received after opting to vacate his WBO world championship last year. While Lee is the defending champion next weekend, Quillin, the challenger, is also the former title holder having never lost the belt in the ring. The 31-year-old had been due to defend against undefeated Russian Matt Korobov but turned down a career-best $1.4million pay day when deciding not to fight the mandatory challenger. Lee later stepped in to defeat the Russian (for a much lower purse), leaving Quillin to face accusations of ‘ducking’ his obligations as champion. Only recently did Quillin reveal that he took a sabbatical to deal with the conflicting emotions of welcoming his first child into the world, while seeing his uncle unsuccessfully battle cancer. ‘I learned a lot of patience through that, so I couldn’t care less what people’ s opinions are or what they’re about. Nobody gets paid to care!,’ blasted Quillin about the flak he faced for giving up his belt. ‘It’s about being challenged, you’ll be challenged for all different decisions that you make – [decisions] that I made in my life and I think that applies to anybody else. The American has a 71 per cent knockout ratio, but he is keeping his feet on the ground ahead of the fight . ‘I just worry about myself, keep good thoughts and a positive mind and keep a great mindset for myself and that I’m just focused.’ Quillin’s first son, Joaquin, was born last August, at the same time his close uncle, Eric Munson, battled pancreatic cancer, losing his fight just two months ago. He has been out of the ring for 12 months since his last title defence. Has he been able to shake the ring rust and the emotional baggage? ‘Everything is a challenge in life. I was always in the gym, but I was dealing with mental stuff and I’m glad I overcame those things. ‘Now I’m back to where I need to be at,’ answered Quillin. ‘Testament to that is when I step into the ring with Andy Lee on April 11. I challenge myself to overcome these things. ‘My uncle’s in his casket and gone now so I got a closing period, a one on one with my uncle before he passed. ‘I left him in Grand Rapids (Michigan) on February 2 and he passed three days after. It was like a rough thing, but I had my closing period where I accepted that the fate of God is going to be what it is and I didn’t have no control over that. I just learned some powerful things – that I need to accomplish as much as I can while I’m living so that I don’t have regrets when it’s my time. ‘Now I’m just looking forward and Andy Lee is who’s in front of me right now.’ Moving on seems to be a regular feature of Quillin’s life. Next week’s fight with Lee will take place in the challenger’s adopted home town, but to call Quillin one of ‘Brooklyn’s Own’ is to ignore his path. Born in Chicago, but raised in Grand Rapids, only his ‘Kid Chocolate’ nickname hints at his pedigree. Quillin, who will fight Andy Lee next week, says it will be a big test against the Irish fighter . He was christened with the alias owing to his physical resemblance to the legendary Cuban featherweight champion of the same ring name, but Quillin also has a blood connection to the Caribbean island as his father was born there before defecting to the US. ‘I went there in 2009 and spent two-and-a-half weeks there and it was one of the best times. I got to learn about life and experience, something different other than what I’m used to,’ says Quillin on his pilgrimage to Cuba. ‘Living in the United States all your life, you go out to another country and you assume you know everything until you see other people living a certain way. ‘I had to recheck myself and say I’m not somebody that knows everything … I found out that it’s not really about the money, it’s about your family. ‘My father left Cuba and met my mom in Chicago – my mom’s an African black lady. My mom spoke nothing but English and my dad spoke nothing but Spanish, but my dad learned English from my mom and my mom learned Spanish from my father. ‘My father knew the original Kid Chocolate in Cuba, but he’s no relation. It’s part of my destiny that I was named Kid Chocolate by other people. Quillin has been away from the ring for a while, but is now ready to recapture his title against Lee . ‘I knew I had a big responsibility when it came to taking on the name. It’s a great part of my story to inherit a name like that and fight for the legacy of a fellow Cuban.’ Undefeated in 31 fights with 22 knockouts, Quillin is doing his best to uphold that honour but critics have suggested that he has not always taken on the best opponent available. He has defeated some big names, including an old Ronald ‘Winky’ Wright, while his stoppage wins over tough contenders were impressive and his title win over N’Dam (Lee’s opponent at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games) proved his world-class ability. But Lee is arguably his most testing opponent to date. Quillin is reluctant to compare their respective levels of opposition, however. ‘Andy Lee is just going to be one of those tests for me to go out and challenge [myself]. ‘For me to criticise other people’s performances, that’s not what I came in the game for, I came in the game to be a fighter and worry about fighting. ‘I gave Andy nothing but respect for accomplishing what a lot of people didn’t get to do, which is become a champion so I look at him like a champion and a guy that has never took a loss. ‘You got to realise that Andy is who he is now and Andy today might be different from the Andy that was [around] yesterday or in the future, you never know. ‘We just prepare and train hard to make sure we’re able to learn [about] people right there in that ring and focus on that. ‘You just have to accept sometimes that people try to be great like other people and never become great, but if you’re able to take what you already have and work with those things you become great.’ His words read as a tasty recipe to become a champion.

(CNN)Australia, an important ally of the United States, has agreed to share some of its intelligence with Iran. Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said the deal is "an informal arrangement" with an emphasis on tracking Australians who go to Iraq to fight for ISIS. But one Australian lawmaker reportedly described the move as "dancing with the devil." Over the weekend, Bishop became the first Australian government minister to visit Iran in 12 years, meeting with President Hassan Rouhani. The intelligence-sharing deal was announced in an interview released Monday that Bishop gave to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation while in Tehran. "During my discussions with the national leadership here, it was agreed that we could share intelligence, particularly on the foreign terrorist fighters from Australia who are taking part in this conflict in Iraq," she said. The Iranians "were very agreeable to share that information with us," she added. Like many Western nations, Australia is grappling with the problem of citizens who are choosing to travel to Iraq and Syria to join ISIS, which calls itself the Islamic State. Australia is part of the U.S.-led coalition that's carrying out airstrikes against ISIS. During the fight against the Sunni extremist group, the coalition has found its interests aligned at times with those of Iran, a Shiite-majority nation that has strong ties with the Iraqi government. Iran-backed Shiite militias played an important role in the recent battle to take the Iraqi city of Tikrit from ISIS jihadists. "Iran has a long standing relationship with Iraq, and as you point out, they have a very strong military presence there. They also have an influence over the Shia militia who are operating within Iraq," she said. "So they are in Iraq, in places that we are not. They also have a very sophisticated intelligence network and they have a lot of information that they've been gathering." Bishop, who left Tehran on Sunday, declined to give details of the agreement with Iran. "Obviously, if Iran has information that will be of interest to us, and if we have information that would be of interest to them, in pursuing our common purpose in defeating Daesh, then that's an appropriate exchange," she said, using an alternative name for ISIS. But Andrew Wilkie, an independent Australian member of parliament, criticized the plan. "The announcement by the Foreign Minister that Australia is entering into a security arrangement with the regime in Tehran really should send shudders down the spine of every Australian," he said, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. "When you start dancing with the devil in a place like Tehran, then we run the risk of becoming almost as bad as those who we dance with," Wilkie told reporters.

Australian foreign minister says deal is to focus on tracking citizens who join ISIS . But one lawmaker describes it as "dancing with the devil"

'I'm sure he thought well I'll catch up with her at the finish line and she'll gloat about how she beat me and we'll go about our day, you know. It makes you hold people a little bit tighter and not take things for granted.' Blocker met Glover at Fitness 535 in Columbia, which Glover co-owned. 'I watched her mother her four children], and if I'm half the mother she was, then I'll be doing a really good job,' Blocker said.

(CNN)At first police in Marana, Arizona, thought the shoplifted gun Mario Valencia held as he walked through a busy office park was locked and unable to fire. The cable through the lever and trigger couldn't be taken off, an officer was told by an employee of the Walmart where Valencia took the gun and some rounds of ammunition. But just 10 seconds after the worker told police that ... a shot. Valencia had fired into the air, and less than a minute later a police car slammed into him in a move that ended a crime spree and sparked nationwide discussion on the officer's unusual tactic. The 36-year-old Valencia was hospitalized and within a few days transferred to jail where he faces 15 charges, including shoplifting the .30-30 rifle. That February morning, police have said, Valencia committed several crimes in nearby Tucson before stealing a car and driving to the Walmart in Marana. There he went to the sporting goods department, asked to see a rifle, then told an employee he wanted the ammunition. Officer who drove into suspect justified, chief says . The woman told police she gave Valencia the rounds because he told her he would break the case with the bullets inside. He also told her not to do anything stupid. In spite of that she also said she didn't feel threatened, leading police to charge him with shoplifting and not armed robbery. Walmart told CNN's Miguel Marquez that the store clerk acted appropriately, even using a code to alert security to call police. Valencia took the gun and ammo and fled into a nearby business park where he encountered an officer in a slow-moving patrol car. At one point he pointed the weapon at an officer and at another he pointed it at his head. The officer told him several times to put down the gun, police have said. The officers that were tailing him assumed that he likely couldn't shoot anyone because of the store's lock. Marana police on Thursday said the cable gun lock was still on the rifle when it was recovered. But the wire that goes through the trigger and the lever to reload the gun were loose enough to allow it to still be used, police said. It also should have been wrapped through the lever twice, not once, police said. A Walmart spokesman told CNN that the rifle had been properly locked and might have been affected by the hard blow caused by the police car. Valencia, who is in Pima County Jail, will appear in court again on May 18.

Before he was slammed into by a police car, Mario Valencia fired a rifle with a loosened lock . He shoplifted the gun and ammo from a Walmart, where a saleswoman who showed him the weapon alerted security . Walmart says the lock was properly installed but police say it was loose when it was found .

Your wedding is fast approaching and, as a last hurrah, you decide to celebrate in the most extravagant way possible - with a trip to ‘Space Vegas'. Here even a 'poor space miner can maybe strike it lucky at the zero-g roulette tables'. That’s the fantastic future imagined by one artist, whose awe-inspiring drawings of a next-generation space station in orbit reveal what space travel may one day look like. Taking one of several imaginative space planes, in this future timeline you’ll be partying to your heart’s content in an orbital extravaganza. Concept artist Alex Brady from Cambridge has created beautiful pictures of what space travel might look like. He imagines a space station of tomorrow similar to Las Vegas (shown in image), with neon lights and plenty of attractions . The images were created by concept artist Alex Brady, 32, from Cambridge in the UK, who normally works on video games and movies. But for these drawings he decided to try his hand at imagining what the future of space travel might look like. A space settlement would be a large structure, comparable in size to a town or small city, built in Earth orbit. It would have similar amenities and services to towns and cities on Earth, and would enable people to live in space. The ISS currently houses six astronauts at a time, but a space settlement would have hundreds or thousands of people on board. Future space settlements may also have artificial gravity by rotating around an axis. ‘It’s inspired by super yachts docking at the casino marinas in Monaco, as well as Macao and of course Las Vegas,’ he told MailOnline. ‘I liked the kind of trashy, flashy future in movies like The Fifth Element. ‘They’re absolutely preposterous but also cheerful and dynamic and irreverent.’ In the main image of Space Vegas, a fantastic array of colours and attractiosn can be seen, including a Ferris wheel and a lit-up cowboy. Several spacecraft docked at the space station can also be seen, based on similar designs for space planes. It is located in orbit around Earth, allowing planes to seemingly take off from Earth and then return to the planet with relative ease. The cone-shaped space station is also shown in a state of partial completion, with space planes again making the journey from the ground. ‘It’s inspired by super yachts docking at the casino marinas in Monaco, as well as Macao and of course Las Vegas [pictured],’ artist Alex Brady, 32, told MailOnline. ‘I liked the kind of trashy, flashy future in movies like The Fifth Element' The station is located in orbit around Earth, allowing planes to seemingly take off from Earth and then return to the planet with relative ease . The cone-shaped space station is also shown in a state of partial completion, with space planes again making the journey from the ground . The strange and twisted shapes, seen here, resemble future structures and spacecraft. The cylindrical design would allow the space station to rotate and provides its inhabitants with artificial gravity . And Mr Brady has also given his take on how humans might get into orbit in the future on a variety of space planes. These are commonly known as single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) vehicles, as they could take off from a runway and land back on Earth without having to use an expendable rocket - like the Space Shuttle had to. His designs incorporate efforts from Europe, the US and India. And such imaginings aren’t that far-fetched; Esa recently tested its unmanned IXV (Intermediate Experimental Vehicle) spacecraft.

These planes are commonly known as single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) vehicles, as they could take off from a runway and land back on Earth without having to use an expendable rocket - like the Space Shuttle had to . But when it comes to space stations, Mr Brady says his designs are a little different and more free-form than others that have been devised. ‘I tend to think space stations are usually depicted in a rather austere way, like in the amazing sequences in 2001: A Space Odyssey,’ he said. ‘I don’t like to second guess Stanley Kubrick, he is one of my favourite artists and a genius, but I imagine maybe space cities to be like our cities here on Earth; cluttered, crowded, busy, a little dysfunctional. ‘I think to an extent we like our cities that way. Big but also full of smaller, human details and regional variation.’ He adds that these images aren’t meant to be taken as a wholly serious look at the future of space travel, but rather ‘a light-hearted imagining of the future where even a poor space miner can maybe strike it lucky at the zero-g roulette tables!’ Mr Brady says his designs are a little different than others that have been devised, such as in 2001: A Space Odyssey (image from the movie shown).

England World Cup winner Jason Robinson has revealed he once contemplated suicide during a troubled period of his career in which he was arrested for violent offences. Speaking in the documentary Jason Robinson: Sports Life Stories, which will be broadcast on ITV4 at 10pm on Tuesday, the 40-year-old former dual-code international admitted he had been a heavy drinker during his early days at rugby league club Wigan, which almost led to his downfall. Robinson, who scored for England in the 2003 World Cup final victory against Australia, said: 'I got into a situation where I was drinking sometimes six nights a week. Former England ace Jason Robinson, pictured in 2007,  has revealed he contemplated committed suicide . Robinson played a key role in England's 2003 World Cup win against Australia in Sydney . 'Monday it was Wakefield, 10 pence a pint night. Tuesday I would be over to Liverpool, Wednesday it would be Oldham. Thursday it would be Wigan. And after the game we would go out wherever.' However, it was his arrest for affray, assault and criminal damage which left him considering an attempt on his own life and he credits then team-mate and Samoa star Va'aiga Tuigamala with turning things around. 'I can remember I just sat in my bedroom with an old knife, an old meat cleaver,' he recalled. 'I didn't want life to go on in this way. That night when I contemplated doing it, I wept like a baby. 'Had it not been for him (Tuigamala), coming into the environment I was in and putting a different slant on it, I certainly wouldn't have the hope that I've got now. And hope is something that people can't take away.' Former team-mate Va'aiga Tuigamala (right) convinced Robinson out of committing suicide . Robinson, pictured with Ben Cohen, has said 'nothing will compare to winning the World Cup in Australia' Robinson, who enjoyed immense success before switching codes in 2000, also looks back on England's World Cup win as the pinnacle of his 20-year playing career. 'When you look at the emotion on those players' faces, it was the reality and the relief that we have just won a World Cup,' he said. 'And I will never forget that. Jumping on Will Greenwood's back. Hugging Lawrence Dallaglio. All the hard work. Everything we've done has been for this moment. 'Nothing will ever compare to winning the World Cup, and especially in the backyard of Australia.'

An armed robber who held up a shop with a knife was caught because his own former mother-in-law was working behind the till. Kyle Iveson burst into a convenience store and demanded cash from shop assistant Karen Brown, the mother of his ex-girlfriend and grandmother of his daughter. He attempted to disguise his identity by lowering his voice, but she instantly recognised him and was able to report him to the police straight away. Scroll down for video . Caught: Robber Kyle Iveson, left, was apprehended by his own mother-in-law Karen Brown, right . CCTV images show Iveson, 24, taking a 12in knife into the Thorougoods shop in Clitheroe, Lancashire and threatening Mrs Brown, 54. He escaped with £650, but was quickly arrested and has now pleaded guilty to robbery and being in possession of a bladed article. Speaking after Iveson was jailed for three years at Preston Crown Court, Mrs Brown said: 'He was shouting and swearing and straight away I knew it was him. 'He was one of those people who has a certain type of walk and although he had a scarf around his face and his hood up, I recognised him a mile off. 'I think it was half personal and half to line his pockets - but he's stupid and he thought I wouldn't know it was him.' Terror: Iveson was brandishing a 12in knife when he burst into the convenience store . Threat: The robber demanded money from Mrs Brown while trying to hide his identity . The court heard that Mrs Brown had known Iveson for several years, after he had a year-long relationship with her daughter and the couple had a child together. Prosecutor Neil Basarya said: 'She was in a state of panic and attempted to open the till.The till was opened and a large amount of notes were taken by Iveson. 'At one point he dropped some to the floor and collected them before exiting the shop, still holding the knife up.' In a victim impact statement read out to the court, Mrs Brown described Iveson as extremely aggressive and said the robbery had made her feel vulnerable whenever a customer entered the shop wearing a hood. 'All I want is my life back how it was and then I hope I can return to a normal and happy life,' she said. Defending Iveson, Adam Lodge said he was addicted to heroin and had committed the robbery to fund his habit. Mr Lodge said: 'There is some degree of remorse and he does mention that this incident would have been petrifying for her, but mentions she was not the specific target.' Theft: He pulled out £650 in cash from the till but was arrested by police shortly afterwards . Target: The robbery took place at the Thorougoods convenience store in Clitheroe, Lancashire . Judge Jonathan Gibson told Iveson: 'You had a long kitchen knife and you used that knife to point towards the lady who was serving in the shop. 'Not surprisingly, the offence has had a very significant impact on her.' As well as three years in prison, Iveson is subject to a restraining order which bans him from contacting Mrs Brown in any way. Reliving the moment that Iveson threatened her, Mrs Brown said: 'He just came at it with me, he was holding it in the air. He came round the side of the counter and he had the knife at the side of me. 'He was trying to get the till open and he kept saying "You'd better get that till open now", and calling me a b****. 'I was determined not to let him know it was me, I just kept saying, "Calm down, calm down."' After the sentencing, the victim said that Iveson's jail term was 'not long enough', adding: 'It was terrifying for me and it has ruined my life. It's no comfort at all knowing he will be out again in no time. 'I wish I could say he will change but I know he won't. He picked the shop because he knew I would be working, he knew my shift patterns. 'He came in 15 minutes after I'd started my shift that night, and it made it worse for me knowing who it was because I didn't think he would stop at anything. 'My daughter's relationship with him was a mistake and we try not to have anything to do with him. I have my granddaughter out of it and I wouldn't change her for the world, but otherwise I wish he didn't exist. 'He used to take great pleasure in grinning and taunting us when he saw us but we tried to ignore him and not let him get to us. I'm not surprised he did something like this.'

The nation's largest suppliers of HIV and AIDS medical care is accused of bilking Medicare and Medicaid in an elaborate $20 million dollar scam that spanned 12-states, according to a lawsuit filed in South Florida federal court. Three former managers of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation filed a suit last week alleging the company paid employees and patients kickbacks for patient referrals in an effort to boost funding from federal health programs. Employees were paid $100 bonuses for referring patients with positive test results to its clinics and pharmacies. The lawsuit alleges kickbacks started in 2010 at the company's California headquarters and spread to programs in Florida and several other locations.

The referrals were key to the company's business model and touted by AHF President Michael Weinstein at a 2013 leadership summit, where the complaint alleges he specifically directed staff to immediately raise the patient financial incentive to $50 and to implement the incentive program nationally throughout the organization. Weinstein said small incentives for linking people to services and keeping them there are 'mainstays of public health interventions.' 'Not only has AIDS Healthcare Foundation done nothing wrong, our pro-active approach to finding and linking HIV-positive individuals to lifesaving care and treatment is critical to stopping HIV in this country,' Weinstein said in a statement. He noted that the federal government and state of Florida formally declined to intervene in the legal action, which he says 'speaks volumes about the merits of the case.' Former managers Jack Carrel of Louisiana, Mauricio Ferrer of Florida, and Shawn Loftis of New York, filed the whistleblower complaint. The three were fired from the company after notifying their supervisors about the company's alleged wrongdoing, even though their attorneys said they are protected under the False Claims Act.

Employees were paid $100 bonuses for referring patients with positive test results to its clinics and pharmacies . The lawsuit alleges kickbacks started in 2010 at the company's California headquarters and spread to programs in Florida and several other locations.

Sharmeena: The teenager flew in secret to Syria . The jihadi bride who persuaded three friends to follow her to Syria was brought up in a strict Muslim household which turned to Islamic State apologists Cage when she disappeared, it emerged yesterday. Sharmeena Begum, 15, was raised by her uncle Shamim Miah, a devout Muslim and former religious scholar. He encouraged her to pray each dawn before classes at Bethnal Green Academy in Tower Hamlets. He blames the airport authorities, police and her school for letting Sharmeena flee the country last December, flying from Gatwick to Turkey before crossing the border to Syria. Controversially, he has turned for advice to Cage, the hardline human rights group whose leaders have said IS executioner Jihadi John is a ‘beautiful young man’. In an exclusive interview this week, Mr Miah, 38, sat at the kitchen table of his terraced house, a few minutes’ walk from the academy in East London. It is where Sharmeena lived with him, her mother Shahnaz – until her death from cancer aged 33 last year – and her grandmother, Jahanara, 66. Close to tears, he disclosed how his niece used £1,000 to go to Syria, money given by relatives after her mother’s death as a traditional gift in Bangladeshi families to show respect for the deceased. ‘At first her Nan – my mother –kept the money safe. Then Sharmeena asked to open her own bank account and she gave the cash to her,’ said Mr Miah. ‘She also pressed to keep her passport in her bedroom and we allowed that too. If her mother had not died, she would never have had money to go.’ Mr Miah was born in Bangladesh and came to this country as a boy with his parents. He studied Islam before becoming a takeaway restaurant owner and now works nights at a supermarket. ‘I have known Sharmeena since she was born,’ he said. ‘She grew up in my house with her mother Shahnaz, my sister.’ Shamima Begum's family at Scotland Yard's headquarters, London, pictured with Abase Hussen, father of Amira Abase . Lured to jihad: Kadiza Sultana, 16, left, Shamima Begum, 15, centre, and Amira Abase, 15, right, at Gatwick . He explained that Sharmeena’s father, Mohammad Uddin, had not often lived at the house because his work took him away so often. Mr Uddin, 39, a waiter, has remarried and lives with his new wife in a block of flats in Bethnal Green. Mr Miah has been interviewed by police about his missing niece and the disappearance of her three classmates: Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and Amira Abase, 15, earlier this year. It is thought that Sharmeena was the ringleader, inspiring the other three to follow her to Syria. It has emerged that a fifth girl from the academy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, also plotted to become a jihadi bride. She boarded a plane for Syria from Heathrow on the same Saturday which Sharmeena flew from Gatwick. This girl’s parents alerted police, the jet was stopped on the runway and she was removed. It has also emerged that Amira’s father Hussen Abase is an Islamic militant who marched at the front of a rally led by hate preacher Anjem Choudary and attended by Michael Adebowale, one of the killers of soldier Lee Rigby. Like Mr Miah, Mr Abase is receiving advice from Cage. But her uncle denies his devotion to Islam influenced Sharmeena. He has already been asked by police if she was radicalised at home. ‘The loss of her mum turned my niece’s life upside down despite our Islamic belief that earthly life means nothing,’ he said. ‘It is the hereafter that we prepare for. She turned to religion after her death.’ He feels let down by police and the school, alleging that neither care about Sharmeena ‘because she is a Muslim girl’. Mr Miah added: ‘You tell the police everything you know but they seem to do nothing to get Sharmeena back. I am really scared of what they might do to me if I am blamed for her going to Syria.’ He is also worried for Sharmeena if she does return to the UK. ‘I believe she will be prosecuted. I don’t think she will ever be allowed to return to our home. The police will want information from her about the Islamic State and life will never be normal for her again.’ Reliving the morning his niece disappeared, Mr Miah told how the teenager said her prayers at 5am as usual. ‘The early prayers are what we do every day in our Muslim religion,’ he explained solemnly. Sharmeena then came downstairs and told her grandmother that she had extra classes at school. ‘She left at about nine in Western clothes, leaving her Asian ones. We do not know whether she took a taxi, bus or train to the airport. Or if she was picked up by a car. I came back from the night shift at ten but I was not alarmed.’ Flight to terror: Clutching their luggage, the three teenage friends prepare to board a flight to Istanbul . But by midday, the family was worried. They rang Sharmeena’s mobile but had no answer. At 5pm, it was offering to take messages in Turkish. ‘We realised she was abroad and I rang the local police, who said she was a missing girl who would come home,’ said Mr Miah. He found a UK number on Sharmeena’s phone records which she had rung constantly, including the morning she disappeared. When he called it, a woman’s voice said: ‘Who is Sharmeena? I don’t know a Sharmeena’ and put the phone down. Mr Miah now suspects the woman was an IS recruiter based in London. ‘In my faith, we believe in an eye for an eye, a life for a life, and I would like to kill the person who persuaded her to go away,’ he said. ‘I also feel let down by the authorities, who allowed Sharmeena out to Syria and then three of her friends, all from the same school.’ When Sharmeena went missing, he alerted her father and told him he must go to the academy and warn teachers what might happen to other girls. Mr Uddin did but said staff did not listen to him. Mr Miah went a day later and saw a senior teacher. ‘I said parents should be warned their daughters might go to Syria. I offered to speak to them myself but I have not been invited.’ Frustrated, Mr Miah turned to officials at Cage, who told him Sharmeena went to Syria ‘to get married’ or ‘for radicalisation’ by IS. He feels it is the only organisation listening to him or which might help get her back. However, some of his family blame him for her disappearance, added Mr Miah. ‘We knew nothing about her plan. I am in shock. Her grandmother is so upset. ‘We think only of Sharmeena and worry if she has enough food to eat in Syria. We feel hopeless.’ A Labour councillor’s son seized attempting to cross into war-torn Syria with four children had been targeted by the Government’s anti-extremism Prevent strategy, sources said last night. As counter-terrorism police last night searched the home of Shakil Ahmed – recently pictured with Ed Miliband – and Turkish authorities prepared to deport the group of nine, questions were asked over whether signs of 21-year-old Waheed’s apparent radicalisation had been missed. The politics student’s father, 45, was in hiding yesterday as officers combed the family home in Rochdale, examining a car parked outside and removing several items. The adults in Turkey were named as Waheed’s maternal aunt, Zareeda Bi, 47, her sons Mahboob Yasin, 22, and Habib Yasin, 24, along with Habib’s wife, Samia Bi, 22. On radar: Counter-terrorism police searched the home of Shakil Ahmed, pictured here with Ed Miliband, as it is revealed his son Waheed Ahmed (right) was targeted by the Government's anti-extremism Prevent strategy . Sources claimed Waheed had been monitored by the Government’s Prevent strategy, which aims to stop extremists resorting to acts of terrorism but has been slammed as a ‘toxic’ brand which further alienates disaffected young Muslims. Friends said they had not noticed a change in Waheed’s behaviour. Raided: Police searched councillor Shakil Ahmed's home after his son was seized trying to cross to war-torn Syria . Bassat Yousaf, 21, who has known Waheed since they were at primary school, said: ‘He’s really a quiet guy. Seeing him on the news came as a shock for me. He didn’t seem that kind of person. ‘We used to talk about Palestine and Syria and he sometimes collected charity money. I used to see him collecting a lot of charity money for people whose homes have been blown up.’ The nine were seized as they tried to cross into Syria on Wednesday, but Waheed’s father said he had believed his son was on ‘a work placement in Birmingham’. The Home Office declined to comment on reports of Waheed’s involvement with its Prevent strategy, which last year resulted in 77 reports from worried families to anti-terror police. Police refused to say if the adults would be arrested on their return to the UK.

She tells her mother what's behind her bad mood, explaining: 'I need to move on sometimes'. Saige then adds: 'I will make Jenn's house as clean as I can make it. Her mother replies: 'Why can't you make my house clean?'

A heroic mother saved her daughter from the jaws of a 13ft crocodile in a 10-minute long battle, armed only with a wooden washing paddle. Diwalinen Vankar, 58, had gone with her 19-year-old daughter Kanta, to the bank of the Vishwamitri River, 40 kilometres from Vadodara, in west India, to wash their clothes. As they were wringing out their laundry, a mugger crocodile grabbed Kanta's right leg and dragged her into the murky river.

But the mugger crocodile clasped its powerful jaws round her daughter with its razor-sharp teeth. Vankar said: 'I was using all my force to pull her back, but the crocodile was so powerful I could not move her an inch. 'For a moment I felt the crocodile would drown my daughter as it tried to roll into the water.' But the quick-thinking mother then decided to attack the crocodile - that can grow up to 15 feet long - with her washing paddle. 'For several minutes I tried to pull her with my hands, but then I got hold of the wooden bat and started hitting its head forcefully', she said. 'Her leg was trapped between the piercing teeth as she cried in pain, her hands were scratching the river bank to get a grip but it didn't let her go. 'It took me 10 minutes to finally free her from its jaws.' Kanta suffered a leg injury after the crocodile grabbed her right leg and dragged her into the murky river . This map shows the Vishwamitri River, near Vadodara, where the attack by the crocodile took place . Vankar said she went to wash her clothes in the river as there was a lack of water and electricity in the village . After hearing the commotion, villagers rushed to help and drove Kanta to hospital, where doctors were treated her for a leg injury. She has since been discharged. Speaking from the hospital, her mother said: 'I thank God for saving my daughter. The injuries are not that serious and doctors say she will be fine in sometime.' She said they had been forced to wash their clothes in the river because of a shortage of water and electricity in the village, but vowed never to return. A wildlife officer said the river is home to ferocious crocodiles and villagers have been warned to steer clear of the river. 'She has miraculously survived. These crocodiles are huge and ferocious,' Ashok Pandya, Vadodara wildlife officer told the Times of India. 'We have been warning them not to go near the river.' Last year, six people were killed in crocodile attacks across Vadodara. There are more than 200 crocodiles in the Vishwamitri River.

The former Miss Italy finalist who has accused film mogul Harvey Weinstein of molesting her tried to use the accusation to secure a movie role, it has been alleged. Ambra Battilana, 22, did not 'co-operate' with authorities for four days after her initial report to police saying she was groped by Weinstein during a 'business meeting' at his office in Manhattan. It has been claimed the delay was because the Italian model and her manager were working behind the scenes to try and land her a film role. But once the 'pipe dream' came to nothing, she decided to pursue the criminal case, sources told the New York Post. See below for video . Accusations: Italian model Ambra Battilana, 22, told police the Hollywood producer groped her and put his hand up her skirt during a 'business meeting' at his Tribeca office in Manhattan last Friday night . Beauty queen: Battilana is pictured left during the Miss Italia contest in Rome in 2011 and right in 2010 . After filing her police report on Friday, March 27, Battilana was eventually interviewed by Manhattan DA prosecutors on Wednesday, April 1, at the NYPD Special Victims Squad's office in East Harlem. Sources told the New York Post her former lawyer, Mark Jay Heller, withdrew from the case as he was concerned Battilana did not appear to be a 'serious victim'. The day after submitting her police report, the Italian model attended a Saturday matinee of the Weinstein-produced Broadway play 'Finding Neverland' and even tweeted a photo of her $277, sixth-row orchestra seat. But her new lawyer, David Godosky, refuted the claims, saying: 'She immediately went to the police, immediately cooperating with the Special Victims Squad.' Out and about: Harvey Weinstein is pictured leaving his New York townhouse yesterday, nearly a week after he allegedly groped a model. He voluntarily spoke with authorities and is cooperating with their investigation . Weinstein, who has produced several Oscar-winning films, such as Shakespeare in Love, Pulp Fiction and The King's Speech, is said to have met Battilana on Thursday last week at the opening of a show at Radio City Music Hall. The next day he invited her for a business meeting at his Tribeca Film Festival office on Friday night. She claimed the 63-year-old Hollywood producer asked her if her breasts were real before touching them and putting his hand up her skirt. He also asked her for a kiss, she claimed. Security footage shows the model speaking on the phone as she exited the building half an hour after arriving, it has been reported. Mr Weinstein has spoken to police and denied the accusations, but a recorded conversation between him and Battilana shows he did not deny the incident, it has been claimed. 'He didn't deny doing what she said he did to her,' the source told the New York Daily News. 'The content of the phone call, there's no question about what he did.' She also convinced him to meet him a restaurant and the NYPD were also there to watch that meeting, according to the newspaper. It is not clear if he was aware he was being monitored, but following the call and the meeting, he voluntarily went to speak with police on Saturday. He requested a lawyer and has promised full cooperation with the probe. Weinstein could face misdemeanor charges of forcible touching or sexual abuse if the allegations are credible. No charges have been filed and his representatives say they believe he will be cleared. 'We are confident that we will be fully vindicated,' a Weinstein spokesman said. A source close to The Weinstein Company told Page Six the groping allegations were nothing more than a 'blackmail attempt' and insisted the award-winning producer 'did nothing wrong'. Model: Battilana (pictured) claims he assaulted her at his office on Friday after meeting him at a red carpet event on Thursday night. Afterwards, she called police and they monitored a phone conversation with him . The day after submitting her police report, the Italian model attended a Saturday matinee of the Weinstein-produced Broadway play 'Finding Neverland' and ever tweeted a photo of her $277, sixth-row orchestra seat . Under surveillance: Following the alleged incident, she arranged to meet with him at the restaurant of the Tribeca Grand Hotel (pictured) and the meeting was monitored by police, according to reports . Weinstein's camp have dismissed Battilana as an opportunist with a suspect past. It has emerged that Battilana previously told Italian authorities she witnessed a so-called 'bunga-bunga' orgy involving disgraced Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi at his Milan mansion in 2010. She claimed she had seen young models performing stripteases and baring their breasts to be kissed by the Italian leader during a raunchy dinner party. It was also revealed she told Italian police in 2010 she was 'forced against' her will into having sex for money with a 70-year-old 'businessman of substantial means' when she was underage. Battilana met the wealthy car dealer in September 2009 when she was under 18 and therefore below the age of consent for prostitution in Italy, according to Italian newspaper reports. In her police statement, she said the man invited her into his car, where he then caressed 'my hand and left leg' and proposed 'that I become his 'playmate', she said. Battilana said he then gave her a bag with €2,000, before assuring her it was only 'an advance of the €5,000 he would give me every month'. She added: 'Despite the indecency of the proposal, both because of my psychological subjection in which I found myself and because of the severe poverty of my family I felt forced against my will not to refuse the money.' Weinstein has been married to his second wife, 38-year-old fashion designer Georgina Chapman, since 2007. The couple have two young children together . The relationship ended when she was accepted into the Miss Italia 2010 pageant. Prosecutors in Italy asked for the rape allegation to be dismissed in 2012 but it was not reported whether the judge granted the dismissal - although it is likely it would have been carried out. In 2012, the Alba prosecutor told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera that Battilana never showed up to talk to them about her police complaint so they were unable to verify her claims. After becoming famous through the Miss Italia pageant, Battilana began modeling professionally in 2011, according to social media. She works internationally in Milan, London, Paris and New York. She recently shot an editorial campaign for Bambi magazine in Agent Provocateur lingerie. Weinstein, who is originally from Queens, New York, founded Miramax studio with his brother Bob in 1979 and is worth an estimated $200 million. He is married to British-born fashion designer Georgina Chapman, 38, who founded the luxury label Marchesa. The couple have been together for seven years and have a young son and daughter. Weintein also has three older daughters from his first marriage to his former assistant, Eve Chilton, which ended in 2004. The alleged groping took place on Friday at the Weinstein Company offices in Manhattan (pictured) where Battilana had met Weinstein to 'discuss business'

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce conceded that his side are suffering from a psychological problem after Marko Arnautovic's 95th-minute equaliser saw the Hammers drop points for the second game in a row. Allardyce's side had been on track for their first back-to-back home wins in almost four months but having already had two goals ruled out for offside, Arnautovic eventually punished the fading hosts to earn a draw. Aaron Cresswell had given the home side an early lead at Upton Park but after a strong start it was Stoke who ended up dominating and they left with a deserved point.

It is the fourth time this year that a late goal has cost the ninth-placed Hammers after draws at Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and the defeat at Leicester City last week. Without the late goals they could be above Swansea City and sitting on a club-record 50 points. 'We can't find the right key elements to see that game out. We leave ourselves on a nervous edge,' Allardyce said. 'We are very nervous at that stage over what's happened before and we should be on 50 points now. We've thrown away seven points in two minutes or less in four games. 'If we had concentrated better in those (last) minutes, we would be sitting on our greatest total and finish ever in the (Premier) League. Instead we are scratching our heads on when are we going to finish a game out again. I thought we were going to do it today, but it finished miserably in the end over just a few seconds.' West Ham's performances have dipped since a strong start to the season but there was no sign of any supposed complacency early on against Stoke, and the reawakening coincided with the return of Enner Valencia. It was Stoke's inability to deal with him led to the opening goal after seven minutes. Glenn Whelan tripped Valencia five yards outside the penalty area to give West Ham an opportunity to shoot from the dead ball. Mark Noble looked the most likely candidate and when he stepped over the ball it seemed to leave goalkeeper Asmir Begovic confused. Instead, unlikely scorer Cresswell was the chosen one and he sent the free-kick over the wall and curling into the Bosnian stopper's top left-hand corner to give West Ham the lead with his second goal of the season.

West Ham were well on top, and Diafra Sakho and Cheikhou Kouyate could have added to the lead inside the opening 20 minutes. But as the half wore on it was Stoke who looked the more likely to score. Valencia's influence waned and instead it was Arnautovic who took control, dominating Cresswell down West Ham's left-hand side. Charlie Adam curled an ambitious free-kick over the bar from 40 yards out in search of his second wonder goal in a week before Jonathan Walters silenced an impatient Upton Park with a low strike that looked to have gone in but had instead hit Adrian's side netting. Victor Moses also had an opportunity, bringing down Arnautovic's cross inside the penalty area, spinning and firing in a shot that was deflected just wide. Allardyce would have been pleased just to see his side make it through to half-time unscathed and Stoke went in at the break with a sense of injustice after hearing referee Roger East blow his whistle as they prepared for the latest in a series of dangerous corners. A low-key opening to the second half allowed the home side to settle a bit and they looked the better side until a mistake by Winston Reid gave Adam a chance on the hour mark but a bobble came to the rescue and the Scot shot wide.

Minutes later Arnautovic had the ball in the net, slotting past Adrian, but his run was correctly flagged for offside. The Spanish keeper's goal seemed to be living a charmed life and particularly so as Stoke went within an inch of equalising. Jonathan Walters sent in a cross from the right that was met by the unmarked head of substitute Mame Biram Diouf, who powered an effort towards goal only to see it bounce off the inside of the post, along the goal line and somehow staying out. West Ham looked like throwing it all away again late on. Arnautovic found Adrian's net for a second time but was again flagged for offside. But the Austrian wasn't to be denied and he eventually scored with seconds left to spark wild celebrations in front of the away end. Stephen Ireland flicked the ball on and Arnautovic applied the finish, slipping the ball into the corner to leave a familiar scene for the home support. Stoke manager Mark Hughes said: 'It looked for a long time that we weren't going to be able to do it. 'When we got into the fourth minute of added on time it looked as though it wasn't going to be our day. Credit to the lads, I thought they were brilliant.'

Sit down for a moment. Relax. Then clasp your hands together so your fingers entwine — don’t overthink it! Now look at your thumbs. Which one is on top — the left one or the right? If you are a man, the odds are it will be the left; if you are a woman, it is more likely to be the right. Now unfold your hands and take a look at your fingers, in particular your index finger (next to your thumb) and your ring finger (next to your little finger). It can be quite subtle, but in men the ring finger (measured from the crease where it joins the hand) is likely to be longer than the index finger. In women the two fingers are typically the same length. Scroll down for video . Strangely enough, your hands give clues to what is sometimes called ‘brain sex’ — the way your brain reflects your gender. Of course, we all have different skills and interests, but some are considered more typically male, and occur more commonly in men, while others are described as more typically female, and occur more commonly in women. According to popular mythology, men tend to be more obsessed by things such as cars and obscure facts. You find men in pubs discussing the top speed of a car they are never going to drive, let alone own. They cling to the TV remote control. They like spending time in sheds. Women, on the other hand, are said to be better at empathy and understanding what another person is feeling or needs. In an emotional crisis, they are more likely to offer sympathy. If you are a man you may be surprised to learn that there are more than 400 different human emotions. If you’re a woman you probably knew that already. This is the stuff of jokes and self-help books — but it is also shown to be true through science. The question is, do these tendencies result from nature — with the biological gender we are born with deciding our interests and personalities — or do they result from nurture, with society and upbringing creating the differing ways that men and women behave? In the SBS One series Horizon Professor Alice Roberts and Dr Michael Mosley examine the links between gender and the brain . The SBS One series Horizon asked Professor Alice Roberts and me to investigate. We started from very different positions. Alice thinks apparent brain differences between the sexes have been exaggerated by how our culture treats boys and girls. In the programme she carries out fascinating tests to prove her point, such as dressing up little boys as girls and vice versa and watching how people treat them. Almost immediately, the girls start rough-housing and playing with trucks, while the boys are treated far more gently by the adults around them. She argues that parents’ unconscious actions — such as being gentler with girls and letting boys behave more roughly — often mould children into men and women who embody gender stereotypes. While I agree that lots of wild generalisations about men and women are bandied around, I also think there may be something in claims that our fundamental biology influences how we behave. Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, an expert on the brain who I visited at Cambridge University, has done a lot of pioneering work on this. He believes, broadly, that people of whatever gender fall somewhere along a ‘systemiser’ to ‘empathiser’ spectrum. Systemisters: According to popular mythology, men tend to be more obsessed by things such as cars and obscure facts, like these young train spotters pictured at Chislehurst and Sidcup station . Systemisters are people who enjoy breaking down and analysing systems. They are more likely to become train spotters or computer scientists. They are what he has called ‘male brained’ — as these qualities occur most frequently, but far from exclusively, in men. Empathisers, on the other hand, are more typically ‘female’ brained as they are more typically women. Although there are exceptions, most men — when tested — come out as more ‘systemising’ than ‘empathising’, while for women it is the other way round. While Professor Baron-Cohen accepts social pressures are important in influencing choices and behaviour, his studies suggest the hormones babies are exposed to in the womb can also shape the brain. Higher levels of testosterone in utero, for example — as measured in long-term studies that took samples from pregnant women then followed their children from birth — are associated with offspring who are less empathetic but better at some mental skills later in life. In other words, more testosterone during pregnancy produces babies with a more male brain (we’re not yet sure why some mothers produce more testosterone). Dr Mosley will examine if habits, characteristics and preferences are a result of 'nature or nurture' Empathisers, on the other hand, are more typically ‘female’ brained as they are more typically women . An indirect way of assessing how much testosterone you were exposed to is by looking at your fingers. A number of studies have shown that the greater the difference between the length of the ring finger and the index finger, the more ‘male’ your brain is likely to be. Mine is slightly more ‘male’ than average but much less so than, say, a professional footballer, who is typically male brained with great spatial awareness skills. As you can imagine, this is a controversial area of science. Professor Baron-Cohen does these studies because he is interested in autism, which he describes as an extreme version of the male brain — more interested in systems and often struggling with empathy. When he started his research there was a lot of criticism, based partly on the fear studies like his will be used to support unhelpful stereotypes — suggesting men can’t excel in female areas and vice versa. Ignoring gender differences, however, comes with its own dangers. Take the problem of pain. A while ago, when I was making a programme called Pleasure And Pain, we did a survey where we asked people which of the sexes they thought was better at tolerating pain — 81 per cent of women said ‘women’, while a mere 11 per cent thought men were the tougher breed. A number of studies have shown that the greater the difference between the length of the ring finger and the index finger, the more ‘male’ your brain is likely to be . Although men were more inclined to give themselves the benefit of the doubt, the majority, 54 per cent, still agreed ‘women’ were more stoical. But is this right? One way to find out is to get male and female volunteers to take part in a cold water immersion test. This is a standard pain test widely used because it causes acute pain without doing any long-term damage (as long as you don’t do it for more than 15 minutes). In this test, you put your hand in a bucket of ice-cold water and see how long you can keep it there before the pain becomes intolerable. I’ve done it a couple of times and oddly enough after the initial shock it doesn’t actually feel cold; below about 3 degrees Celsius your pain receptors overwhelm your temperature receptors so you are no longer able to tell if the water is hot or freezing. All you know is that it is incredibly painful. When this test is done in a laboratory setting, men almost always outlast women. This may be pure machismo, but Professor Jeff Mogil of McGill University, Montreal, thinks there is more to it. As he puts it: ‘There are all kinds of reasons to believe there are different neural systems in the brain of males and females.’ That is, our brains process pain differently because our brains are different: our varying ability to withstand pain is proof. He thinks it is unfortunate that much basic pain research has, until recently, been done in male animals. Although men were more inclined to give themselves the benefit of the doubt, the majority, 54 per cent, still agreed ‘women’ were more stoical . Males don’t menstruate or go on heat, which makes them simpler and cheaper to study. But it also means we have been developing and testing drugs on males, assuming that they will work just as well on females, which may not be the case. We’ve come to realise, for example, paracetamol works better on men, while some opioids work better on women. We don’t, however, know why. That situation is now changing as researchers involve more females and start actively looking for differences. Indeed, Jeff imagines a future where pharmaceutical companies produce pain-killing drugs that are specific to one gender. So perhaps we’ll have pink painkillers for women, and blue ones for boys, each honed to work on the specific male or female brain. ‘If that happens,’ says Jeff, ‘that’ll be a first in medicine.’ It may also mean far more effective medication for all of us. Head injury, a leading cause of death and disability in young people, is another area where studying gender differences could bring significant benefits. Is your brain male or female? Documentary premieres on SBS One on Monday at 7.30pm . A couple of years ago, I was in a large military hospital in Afghanistan, filming a series called Frontline Medicine for the BBC. I saw a number of soldiers, male and female, with serious head injuries. I was told that the women were likely to make a better recovery than the men. Why? It may be, in part, because women have higher levels of progesterone. Progesterone is best known as a female hormone, involved in the menstrual cycle and pregnancy, but it is also important for the development of neurones — the cells that carry messages in the brain. Animal studies and a few small human trials have shown that giving progesterone soon after suffering a brain injury improves survival and recovery. Larger studies, some of them funded by the military, are currently underway. This, I think, is why researching gender differences is worth doing. It is not because it will help us understand why men struggle to remember their children’s birthdays or why there are fewer female darts players, but because it may help us find more effective ways to tackle disease.

This was as far away from the Ashes cauldron as it is possible to be but a quiet day of run scoring against sub-standard opposition in picturesque Basseterre at the start of England’s Caribbean tour meant everything to Jonathan Trott. It must have seemed to Trott that he would never again bat for England when he suffered that brutal dismantling at the hands of Mitchell Johnson during England’s ill-fated last Ashes tour almost 18 months ago. Yet here he was, recovered from the mental condition that forced his departure from Australia and now certain of a new role opening the batting in the first Test in Antigua next week. It is quite a comeback. Jonathan Trott and Alastair Cook combine impressively as England produce dominant display . Cook plays behind square as wicketkeeper Jaison Peters looks on in Basseterre, St Kitts . If Trott’s return with 72 was the most pleasing aspect of a dominant day for England then an unbeaten 95 for captain Alastair Cook was almost as important. The pair came together here at the top of the order yesterday for the first time since a brief experiment in Bangladesh five years ago in what was a low-key return to work after the embarrassment of England’s first round World Cup exit. Neither Cook nor Trott could be blamed for that nor for the careful way they went about their batting in this two-day practice match against a St Kitts Invitational XI that would struggle to defeat a decent English club side. Stuart Broad bowls in the Carribean sun as England take on a St Kitts and Nevis Invitational XI . Cook and teammate Jonathan Trott talk in between overs during the St Kitts and Nevis Invitational XI game . Such was the scale of England’s World Cup embarrassment that they find themselves very much on trial again now even though they ended last year’s Test summer with three successive wins against India. The failure of Sam Robson to convince alongside Cook has opened the door for the return of Trott ahead of Adam Lyth and he made the most of his chance in a stand of 158 with his captain made in the most comfortable of circumstances. England had barely broken sweat in bowling St Kitts out for 59, another returnee in Ben Stokes taking three wickets in five balls, before Cook and Trott overwhelmed a local side who had bizarrely warmed up in Inter Milan shirts. Perhaps they are better at football than cricket because there was little to concern two players with much to prove for different reasons in Cook and Trott. The captain is back after being demoted from one-day office and looked the more fluent, despatching anything short and moving on to his 50 off 95 balls to follow the three half-centuries he has scored in his last four Test innings. Trott was the only casualty of the day for England and he had to be almost dragged from the crease when he was eventually caught at short leg. ‘It’s almost like he’s never been away,’ said Stokes. ‘It was really good to see the way he just settled back to how he has been over the last few years.’ Quite how much the England attack got out of their morning work-out was questionable because this was a shockingly indisciplined batting display from a St Kitts side who included just seven players with first-class experience. Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad eased their way back after their own humbling World Cups but the most penetrative bowling came from Stokes, who swung the ball consistently on a typically slow and flat Warner Park pitch. England batsmen Cook plays to the leg side during the West Indies Tour match against St Kitts and Nevis XI . Trott plays to the offside to reach his fifty during the St Kitts and Nevis Invitational XI England tour match . England plan to use Stokes, who was left out of the World Cup after a dreadful run, as their all-rounder in this series, batting at six at least until the return of Moeen Ali which they hope will come ahead of the second Test. Stokes and Chris Jordan are clearly ahead of Liam Plunkett and the newcomer Mark Wood in the pecking order while Adil Rashid and James Tredwell appear to be competing for the solitary spinner’s place next week. Both took a wicket towards the end of the St Kitts innings while Tredwell added a spectacular one-handed slip catch.

With the increasing pressure of modern life, more and more women in their 30s and 40s are suffering stress spots as well as wrinkles. But now help is at hand on the high street with a cream that claims to tackle spots while also fighting the signs of ageing. Superdrug has launched a range of creams with ingredients normally found in teenage spot treatments – as well as those for anti-ageing. Scroll down for video . Superdrug has launched a range of creams with ingredients normally found in teenage spot treatments – as well as those for anti-ageing . A poll of 2,000 women in their 30s, 40s and 50s discovered almost half were still being blighted with blemishes well into adulthood. One in three women said they even shy away from talking to people because they are so self-conscious about the state of their skin . One in three women said they even shy away from talking to people because they are so self-conscious about the state of their skin. And experts say that growing stress levels are a key factor. Stress makes the adrenal glands release male hormones, which then trigger more oil production, blocking pores. The Superdrug range, Clearly Youthful, starts at £5.99 and it is believed the range is the first of its kind on the high street. Clinique has a blemish range but this does not include a full regime of anti-ageing products, while brands such as Murad, which has focused on anti-ageing, are pricier with £49 for a moisturiser. Jill Flood, of Superdrug, said the Clearly Youthful range is inexpensive compared to high-end versions and the products provide a two-in-one solution. She said: ‘The general assumption is that we suffer the most problematic skin in our teens – but we know that for today’s woman this simply isn’t true. Most women will have some type of skin complaint well after their teenage years. ‘The rise of candid images of celebrities being shared has certainly shown that the average woman is not alone in having bad skin days, when even Kate Moss is pictured with blemishes it shows that the problem is universal.’ Dermatologist Dr Michael Prager believes hormones and diet are also to blame. He said: ‘I get a lot of women coming along and saying, “I never used to get spots but now I’m getting them”.’

An eight-year-old boy was taken to hospital after falling victim to a prank when he was suffocated until he passed out. Police in Manchester have now issued a warning to parents over the game, known as 'sleeper', which officers say is potentially fatal. The child's details have not been release but a Greater Manchester Police spokesman said the child is believed to have had underlying health problems and is expected to make a full recovery. Officers from Greater Manchester Police have been forced to issue a warning on Facebook (pictured) after an eight-year-old boy was hospitalised after a playground suffocation prank called 'sleeper' went wrong . The 'sleeper' prank involves a child having their nose and mouth held shut by another child until they black out from lack of oxygen. The youngster was treated in hospital on Wednesday after they were a 'sleeper' victim, police said. Officers in North Manchester believe it is a new craze and have alerted parents. GMP's North Manchester division posted on their Facebook site after the incident: 'Dangerous New Craze Warning - Attention all parents/guardians...We have received reports of a new craze called 'Sleeper' This involves children completely covering the mouth and noses of younger children until they completely pass out. Manchester's city centre chief councillor Pat Karney (pictured) has said the craze must be stopped 'before we have a tragedy on our hands' 'This is extremely dangerous, a child is currently in hospital being treated after falling victim to this game. Please advise every child you know and warn them of the dangers, this could easily lead to concussion or even death. The post has now been shared more than 11,200 times on the social network. GMP's Facebook post received a flurry of responses from followers, some claiming the game dates back several years. Tasha Williams replied: 'This was happening when I was at school although it was someone pushing on your chest really hard or on your throat, it is a stupid game.' Linzi Walker added: 'It's not new it's been going for years and years.' But Pete James said: 'Only buzz I used to get as a kid was putting a crushed carton in the back wheel of my bike and making it sound like a motorbike! What's wrong with kids??' Stuart Roberts worte: 'Are the children of today total numbnuts??' Sebastian Ziola added: 'Back in my day, we played Pogs. Oh how times change.' A senior council boss in Manchester has issued a stark warning about the craze. Pat Karney, councillor for neighbouring Harpurhey ward, told the Manchester Evening News: 'This news will put the fear of God in any parent or guardian. 'I will be talking to the council officers in the area to see how we can provide more information and warnings to local schools and parents. 'It has to stop before we have a terrible tragedy on our hands. The problem is that when kids hear about an incident like this, it goes viral in an instant in today's world.

Since Herman Melville penned his novel Moby Dick more than 150 years ago, scientists have been fascinated by the remarkable attributes of the sperm whale and its kin - the smaller pygmy and dwarf whales. Now, fossils from an extinct pygmy sperm whale that died seven million years ago, have shed new light on the evolution of modern day whales. The remains, which were discovered in Panama, indicate that the organ involved in sound generation and echolocation got smaller throughout the whale’s evolution. Fossils from an extinct pygmy sperm whale that died seven million years ago have shed new light on the evolution of modern day whales. This image shows the right lateral view of the skull of Nanokogia isthmia . Although why this is so remains a mystery. While many whales, dolphins and porpoises have a long fossil record, enabling scientists to understand their evolution, there is limited evidence of sperm whales and smaller pygmy and dwarf whales, which are capable of navigating the ocean deep underwater. Now an international team of scientists, led by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County has discovered a new species of extinct pygmy sperm whale, called Nanokogia isthmia, which clarifies key aspects of the evolution of these animals. The well-preserved skulls of two individuals were unearthed at a sea cliff along the Caribbean coast of Panama. The find will help experts fill in gaps in the evolution of cetaceans. This is the evolutionary tree of sperm whales showing links between extinct and living species, and when the spermaceti organ changed shape . The remains, which were discovered in Panama, indicate that the bone involved in sound generation and echolocation got smaller throughout the evolution of the sperm whale. In contrast modern sperm whales (a stock image is shown) are much larger than their extinct relatives . The sperm whale is the largest of the toothed whales and the largest toothed predator. It's only one of three living species in the sperm whale family, along with the pygmy sperm whale and dwarf sperm whale. Mature males reach an average length of 52 ft (16 metres) with their head making up one third of their length. They mostly dine on squid and swim to depths of 7,380 FT (2,250 metres) to hunt for prey. They are the second deepest diving mammal, following only Cuvier's beaked whale. The sperm whale's clicking vocalisation - a form of echolocation and communication - can be as loud as 230 decibels underwater, making it the loudest sound produced by any animal. It has the largest brain of any animal on Earth, more than five times heavier than a human's and can live for more than 60 years. It reveals an unexpected level of complexity in the evolution of the spermaceti, which is an organ located within the head that plays a key role in the generation of sound and in the whale’s capacity for echolocation. The study, published in the journal Plos One, shows that at one time small sperm whales measuring around seven feet (two metres in length) had a much larger spermaceti organ relative to their size than modern day relatives. It got downsized at least twice during their evolutionary history, including the evolutionary event that gave origin to the living pygmy and dwarf sperm whales. Lead researcher Dr Jorge Velez-Juarbe said: ‘The new discovery gives us a better understanding of the ancient distribution of these poorly known relatives of the sperm whale. ‘Previously we knew of similarly-aged pygmy and dwarf whales from Baja California and Peru, but this new fossil fills in an important geographic gap in the group’s ancient distribution.’ He added: 'Our study is part of a larger scientific effort aimed at understanding the changes in the marine habitats that resulted from the complete closure of the Isthmus of Panama,' referring to the separation between the eastern Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea that took place sometime within the last 10 million years. The new fossil is known from the well-preserved skulls of two individuals which were unearthed at a sea cliff along the Caribbean coast of Panama, shown on this map . The fossils show that at one time small sperm whales measuring around seven feet (two metres in length) had a much larger spermaceti organ relative to their size. A dorsal view of the fossilised skull is shown .

Suggest the bone involved in sound generation and echolocation got smaller throughout the whale’s evolution . Today's larger sperm whales are able to navigate under water with ease .

A newlywed has died of cancer while on a honeymoon road trip just weeks after his wedding. John Sims, who had Burkitt's Lymphoma, died on Saturday, with his new wife Lindsey Sims by his side.

John Sims, who had Burkitt's Lymphoma died on Saturday, with his new wife Lindsey Sims by his side. The pair married March 21 at MD Anderson Cancer Center after John, who was to turn 31 tomorrow, was told his cancer, was terminal . After the wedding they set off on a a cross-country road trip last week, hoping to make it to visit John's friend Dave in Oregon. 'We've driven through the mountains, we've been in snow. We've been in the Rocky Canyons, we've seen waterfalls,' said Lindsey, 29. But their journey came to an end when John's condition worsened and they had to go to a hospice in Grand Junction, Colorado.

'This world will be a much sadder place without John in it,' Lindsey told KHOU11 News. 'The biggest thing that John would want to take away is that there is still love out there,' said Lindsey. Burkitt’s lymphoma is a relatively rare and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It affects lymphocytes - a type of white blood cell - which are found in the blood and in lymph glands. Lymphoma is a disease where lymphocyte B-cells grow in an uncontrolled way. Patients with the cancer experience a swelling in the lymph nodes. If Burkitts lymphoma is in the chest or throat, people can have difficulty swallowing or breathing, whereas if it appears as a lump in the abdomen, it can cause pain, swelling, nausea and diarrhoea. 'Everyone deserves to be loved. You love selflessly, you love with everything you have and he's done that and I've done that and it's made for an incredible story. Something that I will cherish forever.' The pair, began dating in January 2013 after meeting online. But six months into their relationship, John was was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma. It is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's immune system, made up of organs such as the bone marrow and lymph nodes. The rapidly growing cancer started in his leg, but had recently spread to his brain. But after being told the outlook was now bleak, the pair got married at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, where John was receiving treatment. 'My love for you is eternal,' John told his bride in their wedding vows. Lindsey, who has a young daughter from a previous relationship, quit her job as a restaurant manager to help look after John.

A landmark ruling on piracy and privacy on the internet means thousands of Australians could be getting letters threatening legally action if they illegally downloaded and shared Hollywood film Dallas Buyers Club. But internet law experts say the company behind the letters will have a hard time following through on the threats because it is very difficult to prove who is legally responsible for the downloading. The Federal Court ruled on Tuesday that Australian internet companies, including iiNet and other ISPs, should hand over the names and residential addresses of 4,726 people who illegally shared the film. Scroll down for video . Internet companies will have to reveal names, IP addresses and residential addresses of 4,726 people who uploaded the film The Dallas Buyers Club online illegally . Internet companies iiNet Limited, Internode, Amnet Broadband, Dodo Services, Adam Internet and Wideband Networks were all affected by the ruling . But legals experts say even if you are hit with a legal threat there are several ways to defend the accusations, Fairfax Media reports. iiNet's former chief regulatory officer, Steve Dalby, said the letter was not proof and it would be difficult for the film's studio to prove someone downloaded it. He said those hit with legal letters should also consider whether anyone else may have had access to their network. 'They can't detect downloaders so if I downloaded it but never shared it I wouldn't be concerned about it,' Mr Dalby said. 'If they're not guilty and had an open access point that was unsecured or were very free to giving their password out to people then maybe they do have the defence that it wasn't them. 'Most of the agreements state the account holder is responsible for the use of the account but there's no formal, legal obligation for customers to secure their WiFi.' He said if a letter did show up, it was important to seek legal advice. Slaters Intellectual Property Lawyers' Anny Slater told Fairfax Media there were many avenues for people to get advice. 'As to people getting access to justice and support, this case has brought to light the situation so there are many avenues for people to get advice on a cost effective basis,' she said. 'Some might argue innocence, some might argue that they didn't understand the repercussions, some might argue that the only access to the material was this way because prices were so high.' iiNet has warned its customers to expect speculative invoicing - an 'intimidating' letter demanding significant sums of up to US$7000 for an alleged infringement, or threatening court action . The owner of the copyright to Dallas Buyers Club - starring Matthew McConnaughey - have won their court battle . The court ruling handed down by Justice Nye Perram on Tuesday ordered that the identity of those who shared the content online using peer-to-peer sharing network Bit Torrent would be provided to the film's Hollywood studio, Dallas Buyers Club LLC. This includes their names, IP addresses and residential addresses. Internet companies iiNet Limited, Internode, Amnet Broadband, Dodo Services, Adam Internet and Wideband Networks were all affected by the ruling. The ruling means the Hollywood studio can now go after each individual to claim compensation. Justice Perram did not signify any limit to the amount of damages that the copyright holder of the film could claim directly from each individual. 'It is not beyond the realm of possibilities that damages of a sufficient size might be awarded under this provision in an appropriately serious case in a bid to deter people from the file sharing of films,' Justice Perram said. Justice Nye Perram did not signify any limit to the amount of damages that the copyright holder of the film could claim . iiNet has warned its customers to expect speculative invoicing - an 'intimidating' letter demanding significant sums of up to US$7,000 for an alleged infringement, or threatening higher costing court action. However, Mr Perram said in his ruling: 'I will also impose a condition on the applicants that they are to submit to me a draft of any letter they propose to send to account holders associated with the IP addresses which have been identified. The applicants will pay the costs of the proceedings'. He added that this: 'will prevent speculative invoicing'. In his ruling, Justice Perram said the details of each individual had to be kept private by the studio. Marque Lawyers boasted of their win in the courtroom on Tuesday over Twitter, writing: 'Dallas Buyers Club - we won. iiNet required to hand over ID of copyright infringements to the film studio.

Dozens of staff at Manchester United's Megastore, including mascot Fred the Red, are sweating over their futures with the club's world-record £750m kit deal about to kick in. On July 31 Nike, who employ Fred and a number of other workers at the Old Trafford shop, will see their agreement with the club expire. Some claim they are being kept in the dark over whether they will be re-employed, blaming the US sportswear giants for the issue. Manchester United mascot Fred the Red is among club megastore staff sweating over their jobs . A Manchester United fan wearing an Eric Cantona shirt outside the Old Trafford megastore on Sunday . However, Nike say they are in constant communication with the club and have entered into a consultation process with the staff. A United source told Sportsmail: 'All the staff are all worried sick about it. Some have left already because they can't wait. It's out of order. They are all good people who work in there, and a lot of them don't make much more than the minimum wage, and they can do without this. 'It seems as though Nike are using them as scapegoats because they have lost the rights to adidas. You would think someone could just tell them they are going to be alright.' United are yet to make an official announcement about the Megastore after they kept hold of the rights as part of their huge deal with adidas. Fred the Red, who has been United's official mascot since 1994, with former manager Sir Alex Ferguson . The popular Old Trafford mascot poses with former defender Nemanja Vidic in May 2014 . Fred the Red has been Manchester United's official mascot since 1994 and represents the club's nickname, The Red Devils. He wears the No 55 shirt and entertains the crowd at Old Trafford before matches. It could prove to be a shrewd move given that they will not have to pay royalties on any items sold within the facility, which is based the East Stand and attracts visitors from all over the globe. Most staff work in the store itself, although many work in the warehouse behind it. A Nike spokesman revealed that talks were ongoing but failed to give any assurances. 'Nike is in constant communication with Manchester United on the transition of the store management to the club,' they said. 'We are actively engaged in a consultation process with the store employees and have created an employee representation group for this specific purpose.' United will head to the US for a summer tour and are expected to have to wear their existing Nike kit. No agreement has been reached to end the deal early and manager Louis van Gaal is unlikely to want to see his side in action after August 1 - so close to the start of the new Premier League season on August 8.

Condemned Bali Nine pair's ongoing battle to spare their lives has moved to Indonesia's constitutional court, a challenge that has been labelled as a delay tactic. Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran lost a bid to challenge their clemency rejections in the state administrative court, which upheld its earlier decision that presidential decrees were outside its jurisdiction on Monday . As Jakarta waits on the legal efforts of a few other prisoners before setting an execution date, the two Australian's lawyers sought a constitutional court review to make clear the president's obligations on considering clemency on Thursday - a process that could take several months. Andrew Chan (left) and Myuran Sukumaran (right) are now appealing to Indonesia's constitutional court . Attorney-General HM Prasetyo has declared the move by the pair's lawyers as a delay tactic . They also intend to challenge the barrier preventing foreign citizens from constitutional court appeals. However, Attorney-General HM Prasetyo has dismissed the challenge as delaying tactics and says he won't recognise it. Indonesian lawyer for the death row pair, Inneke Kusuma, told reporters the effort was not aimed at delaying the executions, but clarifying a prisoner's rights. The president's obligations when assessing a prisoner's life were unclear, she argued, such as the weight that should be given to rehabilitation. 'This judicial review won't delay the executions but we will tell the government please hold on until this process is done, because if the constitutional court accepts what we lodge, the documents, maybe there will be a new mechanism to consider their clemency,' she said. The pair's lawyers also intend to challenge the barrier preventing foreign citizens from constitutional court appeals . Sukumaran (left) and Chan (right) are now imprisoned on Central Java's Nusakambangan island where they face the prospect of death by firing squad . The lawyers' argument is that President Joko Widodo breached his responsibilities to treat the applications for mercy on their merits, instead rejecting them because he wishes to deny clemency to all death row drug offenders. Mr Prasetyo says the pair have already had their appeals and any constitutional court decision would only apply to future cases anyway - not that of the condemned duo. Meanwhile, his spokesman Tony Spontana said an execution date that avoids the Asia-Africa Conference was still being considered, when Indonesia plays host to various heads of state from April 18 - 24. Mr Spontana said although it was legal - it would not be ethical to carry out the executions while hosting the international event but they would continue to look for a 'good day' during this month for the prisoners to face death row. The Sydney men are now imprisoned on Central Java's Nusakambangan island where they face the prospect of death by firing squad. Two of the other eight prisoners in line for execution with the Australians have applied for Supreme Court judicial reviews, while another is also pursuing an administrative court case.

Would you like a side of pot with your main course? Food pairing menus are all the rage these days, with beers, wines and even coffees all getting the matching makeover from experts. But one US restaurant has taken things a step further by matching their mains to marijuana. Bright spark: The Amsterdam Falafel Shop in Washington DC, US, is the first restaurant in the country with a menu that matches cannabis to food . Canny move: The restaurant's menu pairs five falafels to five strains of marijuana . Amsterdam Falafel Shop in Washington DC, US, has launched its pot-pairing menu which matches five falafels to different strains of weed. This is strictly a take-away operation though, as those who like to indulge won't be able to smoke on the premises. Owners Arianne and Scott Bennett devised the rather sophisticated falafel toppings best eaten when smoking different strains of marijuana. For those who like to imbibe in some OG Kush, the restaurant recommends a falafel sandwich of baba ganoush, beetroot, pickled turnips, coleslaw, garlic parsley and tahini. If it's an Afghani strain that's got you excited, then opt for sliced cucumber, onion and dill salad, fried aubergines, and thinly layered garlic cream. According to the menu, this is the best combo for that particular strain as the 'pot/sandwich pairing has been known to induce intense relaxation.' The falafel topping counter at the restaurant includes julienne vegetables, salads and various dips . If you're looking for more of an energetic experience, the menu advises to pair a baba ganoush and chickpea, pickle, tomato, cucumber, tahini and red pepper sauce salad with a Cactus joint. 'This pairing has been known to induce an uplifting, energizing and euphoric effect,' the menu states. Sparking up Lemon Haze? Go for a hummus, yoghurt sauce, garlic parsley, crunchy onion, pickled cauliflower and Turkish salad combo; a pairing which will give you 'energy and creativity.' It's pairing different weed with different types of food,' Mr Bennett said to Fox News . 'You're tasting different things. I mean, different weed taste differently.' A law was passed in February this year which made it legal for Washington DC residents over the age of 21 to possess, grow and smoke recreational marijuana. There is a limit to the quantity users can possess and usage in public as well as sales within the DC limits is prohibited.

Bristol City will become the first Football League club to win promotion this season should they beat Bradford on Tuesday night. The League One leaders managed to come away from second-placed Preston North End unscathed, drawing 1-1 thanks to Aaron Wilbraham’s equaliser after Jermaine Beckford had opened the scoring just before the hour. Regardless, Steve Cotterill’s side had been destined not to seal promotion at Deepdale because results elsewhere didn’t go their way. Bristol City manager Steve Cotterill was happy to avoid defeat against Preston on Saturday . Three points at Bradford on Tuesday will do the trick. It would take something to go seriously awry for the Robins not to be returning to the second tier after a two-year absence, and they did their job well enough to prevent any late scares in the north west. ‘That’ll be good,’ Cotterill said. ‘We’ll digest that and try and prepare properly for the game. ‘It was important not to get beat here. If you look at it, if we had and then got nothing at Bradford (on Tuesday) then we’re stuck on 88 points. Preston would’ve gone to 83 points today and then have Gillingham at home. ‘You always look at the worst case scenario.’ Bristol City’s elevation to the second tier appears a formality, and Preston remain in pole position to join them. Nevertheless, manager Simon Grayson has warned his players not to get carried away. ‘We’ve said to the players we can only influence our own games, but it’s another point to our tally and another game chalked off,’ he said. ‘But there will be no complacency from the team, we know we have to keep working.’ Cotterill, meanwhile, has always gunned for the League One title rather than just promotion and this result preserved their eight-point lead over Preston, although they have played a game more. His squad are staying in a nearby hotel until the trip to Valley Parade and will train at Burnley in preparation.

A holidaymaker was left stranded in Tenerife after thieves stole her passport ID during a family holiday - and Ryanair staff refused to let her fly home over fears she was an illegal immigrant. Loushanna and Shawn Craig from Erdington, Birmingham, had gone away to the island for a three-day break, marking her birthday and the couple's anniversary. But, despite having flown to Tenerife from East Midlands airport, Mrs Craig was marooned on the island for up to two weeks after her biometric ID card was stolen. Loushanna Craig, from Erdington in Birmingham, had gone to Tenerife with her husband for three-day holiday but was refused to fly home over fears she was an illegal immigrant . The couple were on a trip to the volcanoes when Mr Craig had his wallet stolen, which had her biometric ID, as well as their bank cards inside. The 37-year-old was meant to return to the UK on March 9, but she only arrived back on March 24 - having spent more than three times what she had planned. The mother-of-four, who has a Jamaican passport, has now placed the blame squarely on the shoulders of Ryanair. She claims that she has the right documentation to prove she was allowed to return to the UK, but that the budget airline refused to fly her home anyway. She said: 'The whole experience has been humiliating. I will never use Ryanair again.' Mrs Craig, who moved to Birmingham from the West Indies 14 years ago, does not have a full UK passport because she has not yet been given permission to live here permanently. Mrs Craig, with her husband Shawn, who had her biometric ID card stolen while on holiday . Instead, she has the 'right to remain' status, a Government stamp which shows she resides in the UK. That stamp recently ran out, she said. But she has a biometric ID card, given to her by the UK Border Force, which, when used in conjunction with her passport, proves she has the right to reside in this country. She has previously used it as a passport in EU countries. Prior to the holiday, Mrs Craig had also obtained a visa from the Spanish Embassy in London, allowing her to travel out of the country. After the card was stolen, Mrs Craig travelled to Madrid where she was given documentation to prove that her card had been stolen. But when she tried to return home, she was stopped at the Tenerife South boarding desk and the police were called. She was led away, under suspicion of being an illegal immigrant. 'They just didn't want to know,' she said. 'They weren't interested in seeing the papers. I was led away like a crook. I also had a driving licence and bank cards which proved I was from the UK.' Mrs Craig, who was carrying other cards like her driving licence and National Insurance card, then got paperwork from the British Consulate in Tenerife, which also verified that her card had been stolen. But when Mrs Craig attempted to get home, she was turned back again. She alleges that a Ryanair representative at Tenerife South Airport told her: 'We send you Africans to Britain and they just send you back and fine us 6,000 euros.' She said: 'I was left feeling like a criminal.' Mrs Craig was told her Jamaican passport would have to be surrendered and re-stamped before she could return, a process that would have taken at least three weeks. But Desmond Jaddoo, a community activist, then intervened, speeding up the process, meaning she returned home earlier than expected. He described the saga as 'totally unsatisfactory in its entirety'. He said: 'Ryanair failed to take into account her circumstances, they failed to show any form of compassion and the fact that they stereotyped her is of great concern.' Mrs Craig travelled to Madrid where she was given documentation to prove that her card had been stolen but at the aiport she was stopped at the boarding desk and the police were called . A Home Office spokesman said the airline were right not to accept the ID card as a passport substitute . But a Home Office spokesman said the airline were right not to accept the ID card as a passport substitute. The spokesperson said: 'The biometric residence permit is proof of the holder's right to stay, work or study in the United Kingdom. It can also be used as a form of identification. The holder is not required to carry their permit at all times, but they must show it at the border, together with their passport, when travelling outside of, and when returning to, the United Kingdom.' A Ryanair spokesman said: 'While we apologise for any inconvenience caused, it is each passenger's responsibility to carry travel documentation which meets the requirements of Ryanair, immigration and other authorities.'

A warning for a tsunami as big as one metre (three feet) forecast to hit islands in Japan's far south after a 6.6 magnitude earthquake struck off eastern Taiwan was cancelled on Monday. National broadcaster NHK said waves were possible on several islands in the southern Okinawa chain after a very shallow quake centred on Yonaguni in the southwest, near Taiwan. Witnesses said buildings swayed in Taipei but there was no visible damage in the Taiwan capital. General view of Ginowan city, north-east of the capital of Okinawa Prefecture in Japan ©Kazuhiro Nogi (AFP/File) 'We are issuing warnings via the radio,' Satoshi Shimoji of the Miyako City government told NHK. 'We want residents to get as far as possible from the sea,' he said. NHK said the tsunami -- an irregular wave that alters the sea level, and not necessarily a huge event -- were believed to have already arrived at remote Yonaguni, although no details were yet available. Live footage from coastal cameras showed sea levels had apparently not risen in several harbours within the warning zone. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said in a statement that 'based on all the available data... there is no tsunami threat from this earthquake.' Map locating the epicenter of a 6.6-magnitude quake that hit the southwest edge of Japan's Okinawa province, near the coast of Taiwan on April 20, 2015 . The US Geological Survey said the 6.6 magnitude quake, which Japanese authorities had originally put at 6.8, struck 71 kilometres (44 miles) east of Hualian, Taiwan at 0143 GMT. Japan sits at the confluence of four of the earth's tectonic plates and registers more than 20 percent of the planet's most powerful earthquakes every year. Strict building codes and a long familiarity with the dangers mean that quakes that might cause devastation in other parts of the world are frequently uneventful in Japan. However, occasional disasters prove exceptionally deadly, and more than 18,000 people were killed by a huge tsunami that smashed into the northeast coast in 2011 after a huge 9.0 magnitude earthquake.

An extraordinary image has emerged of what appears to be a cloud formation that draws uncanny similarities to an Aussie Digger wearing a slouch hat. The photo was taken by Brad Allan in Cape York, far north Queensland, as he was heading out fishing at the break of dawn when something caught his eye. Mr Allan, from the Archer River Roadhouse, says the image is quite fitting considering the upcoming centenary of Anzac Day. The 50-year-old describes it as 'the sunrise digger who's been watching over us for 100 years'. An extraordinary image has emerged of what appears to be a cloud formation that draws uncanny similarities to an Aussie Digger in a slouch hat . It was Easter Monday morning when Mr Allan decided to take the boat out to Weipa, a town in Cape York which is north west of Cairns, when he captured the amazing image. 'I was going out fishing at about 5.45am in the morning with my wife and some mates when I looked out at the horizon,' he said. 'I saw the remnants of a storm cloud which oddly looked like a soldier in a slouch hat. 'I quickly took out my phone and grabbed a few shots of the clouds before it changed in the space of five minutes. I guess I was at the right place at the right time.' The image was taken about two weeks before the 100th anniversary of the landing on Gallipoli. 'For those with a bit of an imagination, if you look closely at the clouds you can almost see facial features like a nose and moustache. It's quite eerie but I think it's also quite fitting considering it's the centenary of Gallipoli,' Mr Allan said. 'It's almost like the sunrise digger who's been watching over us for 100 years.' An Australian soldier stand during a ceremony for Anzac Day last year . This comes as travellers heading to Anzac Day events overseas have been urged to heed safety warnings and get insurance. Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said more than 15,000 Australians planned to attend overseas events commemorating the centenary of Anzac Day, with services in Turkey, France, Belgium, Malaysia, Thailand and Papua New Guinea. She said the 100th anniversary of Gallipoli was a significant event for all Australians. Prime Minister Tony Abbott said normal security precautions were in place at Gallipoli. He wouldn't confirm reports Australian spies and special forces personnel had been sent to Turkey amid fears of a terrorist attack. He said appropriate security measures were in place for an international event of this scale. The government has prepared a series of Anzac Day traveller bulletins online. For all destinations, the government urges travellers to take out travel insurance and register on the Smartraveller website. For Turkey, travellers should have a high degree of caution because of the threat of terrorist attack. Anyone travelling to Turkey will need to obtain a visa and only those with attendance passes will be able to attend the official 2015 commemorations. For Anzac Day events in France and Belgium, travellers are advised to exercise normal safety precautions.

A couple have transformed a 600-year-old castle they bought for £65,000 into a luxurious home worth £700,000. Janet and John Brennan have spent eight years and hundreds of thousands of pounds turning Barholm Castle, in Dumfries and Galloway, from a ruin into a stylish castle home. They bought the 15th Century fort, reputed to have been used by leader of the Scottish Protestant Reformation John Knox as a hiding place, for just £65,000. Barnholm Castle in Dumfries and Galloway, which has gone on the market for £695,000 after being transformed from old ruins . John and Janet Brennan (right) bought Barnholm Castle (left) for just £65,000 in 1997 and have spent hundreds of thousands of pounds renovating it . But now it is on the market for offers over £695,000 even though at that price the couple will lose a six-figure sum. However, despite that, Janet, 60, and John, 64, insist the project was a 'labour of love' and they have 'no regrets'. The Brennans first stumbled upon the castle near Gatehouse of Fleet - once home to a branch of the powerful McCulloch clan - in 1997 when it was just a shell of crumbling stone walls. It took two years to complete the purchase, four years to get planning permission and three years of restoration. The castle's large living area, pictured, was formerly the great hall in the fortress, which is thought to have once housed Scottish minister John Knox . Barnholm Castle's great vault is now the luxury home's kitchen, which is big enough for a dining table and all modern appliances . One of the four bedrooms in the £700,000 property. The Brennan's bought the fortress in 1997 and spent four years getting planning permission and two years carrying out the renovation . Even though the property is on the market for £695,000, the couple have spent hundreds of thousands restoring the castle meaning they will actually incur a loss . The grade A-listed building was lovingly transformed into a stunning home while staying true to its historical roots. Mrs Brennan, the chairwoman of the Scottish Castles Association, admitted: 'The restoration cost more than the asking price but it was a labour of love - we were not doing it for profit. 'We've no regrets. Other people take up golf and they buy boats. We bought a castle.' The retired university lecturer added: 'It was a massive project.

'When we drove up the narrow, winding track and saw it we fell in love with it. It was love at first sight. 'We were always interested in castles and visited them over the years. But it was a spur of the moment decision. 'We saved it. It was described as being in a precarious condition.' The castle now has rooms over four floors as well as stunning sea views over Wigtown Bay. The ground floor vaulted chamber has been converted into a kitchen while the great hall has been transformed into a large living space. Four bedrooms are found on the upper floors, including one said to have been used to shelter John Knox. The crumbling ruins of Barholm Castle in Dumfries and Galloway, when it was bought by Mr and Mrs Brennan for £65,000 in 1997 . Mrs Brennan outside the castle shortly after buying it. She described the restoration project as a labour of love . Meanwhile a staircase in the turret leads to upper cap house chamber, with a door to the roof parapet. Mrs Brennan, who has written a book on the subject of restoring castle, added: 'It's an enjoyable experience living in the house. 'It's not that we're selling because we want to leave it - we want to be closer to family. 'I think it would make a fabulous holiday home for someone with deep pockets. 'Or a home for a retired couple who want to live somewhere really special.' John Knox was a Scottish clergyman, who was the leader of the Protestant Reformation in Scotland and often considered the founder of the Presbyterian denomination. He was a Catholic deacon and priest but first joined the movement to reform the Scottish church in the early 1500s. He then went on to teach a number of sons of Protestants who had been captured in St Andrews Castle and called on Knox to become their minister. It was at this time that he is believed to have used Barholm as a place of refuge. In 1547 he was captured by the French, who attacked St Andrews Castle and was kept as a prisoner for over a year. On his release, he travelled to London, where he continued to attack the Roman Catholic faith but left the UK again in 1553 when Mary I became Queen. When he returned to Scotland, he realised how much the teaching of the Reformers was spreading. He then became one of the most well-known preachers in Scotland, with the Scottish Reformation taking place n 1560. Knox is credited with helping to write the Scots Confession of Faith, one of the first formal documents of the Church of Scotland.

Janet and John Brennan bought a crumbling Barholm Castle in Dumfries and Galloway for just £65,000 in 1997 . The couple spent eight years chasing planning permission and spending thousands on renovating the castle . It has now gone on the market for £700,000 and has four bedrooms as well as sea views over Wigtown Bay .

Kristen Lindsey from Brenham, Texas, allegedly hunted the animal down and shot it with a bow believing it was feral and then posted the image on Facebook . A veterinarian has been fired from her clinic after she posted a horrifying image of her holding a cat she had killed by firing an arrow into its head on Facebook. Kristen Lindsey, 31, who lives in Brenham, Texas, allegedly hunted the animal down in her backyard and shot it with a bow, believing it was feral. But a local rescue center say the cat, believed to be called Tiger, was domesticated and had been missing for around two weeks. Beneath the shocking image, Lindsey, a Wyoming native, wrote: 'My first bow kill... lol. The only good feral tomcat is one with an arrow through it's head. Vet of the year award... gladly accepted.' She also said in a comment, before she learned she no longer had a job: 'And no I did not lose my job. Psshh. Like someone would get rid of me. I'm awesome.' The Colorado State graduate lost her job at the Washington Animal Clinic after the image began circulating online and staff have since been distancing themselves from the former employee. Staff at released a statement on Facebook on Friday saying: 'We are absolutely appalled, shocked, upset, and disgusted by the conduct. 'We have parted ways with Ms. Lindsey. We do not allow such conduct and we condemn it in the strongest possible manner,' the clinic said in the statement.' 'Please know that when informed of this we responded swiftly and appropriately and please do not impute this awful conduct to the Washington Animal Clinic or any of its personnel.' Local prosecutors are now considering whether she should face criminal charges. A Facebook page, called 'justice for the cat murdered by Kirsten Lindsey'  has already been 'liked' by more than 7,000 people. A video of the six-year-old cat that Lindsey is believed to have killed riding on top of a tractor has also surfaced online. Scroll down for video . Lindsey, pictured with her mother Becky, said after the picture was uploaded that she didn't lose her job - claiming no one would fire her because she is 'awesome'. However she later learned she had been fired . Local prosecutors are now considering whether she should face criminal charges. She was also slammed online with a number of people saying she should lose her veterinarian licence . Austin County Sheriff Jack Brandes says he was disturbed by the image. He told KBTX: 'This kind of stuff shouldn't happen in our society,' Brandes said. 'It's a very sad thing. 'Hopefully we will get to the bottom of it and get the truth, 100 per cent truth, and get it to the DA and put it in his hands if it needs to go any further.' The Texas Veterinary Medical Association also condemned her reactions, insisting her conduct does not reflect the standards of other vets. In a statement, they said: 'The Texas Veterinary Medical Association (TVMA) strongly condemns the actions of a veterinarian who claims to have recently shot and killed a feral cat with the use of a bow and arrow. 'The veterinarian, who worked in Brenham, Texas, and is not a TVMA member, posted a picture of herself holding the deceased cat on her personal Facebook page along with some insensitive remarks about the incident. A video of the six-year-old cat that Lindsey is believed to have killed riding on top of a tractor has also surfaced online . The Colorado State graduate lost her job at the Washington Animal Clinic (pictured) after the image began circulating online. She has yet to respond to the image . 'This individual’s actions directly violate the veterinarian’s oath taken to use his or her “scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health and welfare, the prevention and relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health and the advancement of medical knowledge.” 'We are saddened and disturbed by the unfortunate actions of this individual, and we remind Texas residents that this conduct is not reflective of the veterinary profession or of the veterinarians who strive to embody the words of the veterinarian’s oath every day. 'Upon learning of the troubling misconduct, the Brenham clinic where the veterinarian was practicing immediately condemned her actions and terminated her employment. 'The clinic’s ownership and staff have expressed their deepest shock and disgust at such behavior and are regretful that the individual acted in a manner that so drastically deviated from the conduct and values the clinic has upheld in its community for years. 'We hope you will stand strong with us against this type of behavior against animals. TVMA values the trust built between veterinarians and the public based on mutually shared care for animals. The clinic issued a statement confirming Lindsey had been fired and distanced themselves from the employee. They said they were 'disgusted' by her conduct . 'We hope that we can unite to prevent actions like this from occurring in the future. She was also condemned online by a number of people in her profession. Larry Wallace, who said he had been a veterinarian for 40 years, said on Facebook: 'I have never in my long career heard of such an atrocious act by a member of my profession. 'This person most be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. 'She took an oath to protect and heal not to killing innocent life. I will be contacting my national association about this matter as she has tarnished the profession for which she has chosen.' Underneath the clinic's statement, Sheilah Christensen wrote: 'She needs to be in jail for animal abuse - follow your state state statutes re animal abuse. Take her license away -- my God, what did she do to the animals in her care at your clinic.' Cruelty to animals is a Class A misdemeanor under penal code 42.092: “A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly tortures an animal or in a cruel manner kills or causes serious bodily injury to an animal.” Lindsey interned at Equine Sports Medicine & Surgery in Weatherford from 2012 to 2013. She created a personal blog called Wyo-Girl-Kristen Lindsey and posted about herself in 2011, saying: 'I love Wyoming and the mountains....the Big Horns especially...but any will do when it really comes down to it. 'I love hunting, fly fishing, pack trips, the outdoors in general, horses, skiing, dancing, whiskey, my friends, my family, God, raising hell, my daddy, and sheep.'

A man trying to elude police jumped into a Missouri creek overnight wearing only his underwear – but his daring gambit did not pay off. Responding officers and firefighters followed the fugitive into the murky waters of Brush Creek in Kansas City and fished him out early Friday morning. The 38-year-old suspect has been taken to an area hospital to be treated for injuries to his arm and leg. He may face charges in connection to a hit-and-run crash. Escape by water: A 38-year-old man stripped down to his skivvies and jumped into Brush Creek in Kansas City, Missouri, after being stopped by police . Up Brush Creek without a paddle: The suspect reached the middle of the creek and spent 10-15 minutes swimming back and forth . According to a Kansas City Police Department’s arrest report, officers were called to a gas station in the 4600 block of Prospect at around 2am after receiving complaints from neighbors about a car blasting loud music. The report states that when police approached the car, a grey 2007 Infinity, and asked to see the driver’s license, the man smiled, said, ‘I’m out!’ and took off from the scene. The Infinity promptly smashed into the north side of the Brush Creek bridge, after which the driver got out of the mangled car and jumped into the water. Police say the 38-year-old suspect stripped down to his underwear and spent 10-15 minutes swimming in chest-deep water, with officers waiting for him on north and south sides of the creek. Surrounded: When firefighters tried to pull him out, he threatened them with a log . Fish out of water: Police officers armed with a BB gun went after the nighttime bather and apprehended him . The bather was complaining of a broken leg, according to Fox4KC, so the Kansas City Fire Department’s water rescue crew were sent in to fish him out. But the half-naked man in the water was not going to go quietly. ‘The suspect picked up a large log and started swinging it at the firemen so they backed off as to not escalate the situation,’ the arrest report states. That is when uniformed police officers armed with a BB gun followed the man into the creek, got him in a choke hold and pulled him out of the creek. Police suspect the man may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol . Prelude: Before he jumped in the water, the 38-year-old driver fled from police and smashed his 2007 Infinity into a bridge . Police suspect the man may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time. As of Friday morning, the 38-year-old has not been formally charged with any crime.

The 38-year-old suspect was questioned by Kansas City police after neighbors complained he was blasting music in his 2007 Infinity . Instead of handing over his ID, driver smiled, said 'I'm out!' and took off . After crashing into bridge, the man stripped down to his underwear and jumped into Brush Creek . It took cops armed with a BB gun 15 minutes to fish out the fugitive .

(CNN)C-SPAN's live telecast of the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Saturday night, hosted by Cecily Strong of "Saturday Night Live," was not Strong's finest hour, though the entire affair seemed like five of C-SPAN's longest hours. Even so, there were some genuinely funny moments, although the ratio was low, and you had to be patient to get to them. But when you step back and look at the event as a whole, and appreciate what's really happening -- in terms of press freedoms and even a U.S. president willing and able to poke fun at himself as well as others -- it's hard not to think of this particular Beltway-meets-showbiz event as a wonderfully American exercise in tolerance and good humor. That being said, it's a very tough room -- and not just because the Washington Hilton ballroom is so cavernous. More than 2,000 credentialed White House journalists and their mostly celebrity guests convened for the occasion. And convened, and convened, and convened, as time dragged on and dinner was served late. President Barack Obama, as Strong's warm-up act, didn't hit the podium until 10:20 p.m. (Strong got her turn at 10:45.) Obama, as in past years, came out strong -- a tough act to follow for any comedian. He had strong comedy lines and delivered them with timing that many stand-up comics would envy. Noting his lame-duck status, Obama said his advisers asked him if he had a bucket list. "I have something that rhymes with bucket list," he claimed to have replied. Obama, noting the night's guest speaker, said, "On 'Saturday Night Live,' Cecily impersonates CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin." Then, after a brief but well-timed pause, he added, "Which is surprising, because usually, the only people impersonating journalists on CNN are journalists on CNN." Obama was nailing his own punch lines frequently, and perfectly. Then, to up the ante on his time at the podium, he welcomed his "anger translator" -- a recurring character played by Keegan-Michael Key on Comedy Central's "Key & Peele." It was a clever surprise, and the crowd reacted with surprising enthusiasm (I wouldn't have presumed most of them knew of Key's character or his series), though Key's jokes lost something in the translation, and didn't pack the punch of Obama's. But the bit ended with a great twist: Obama himself getting so worked up about a snowball being carried into Congress to denounce global warming that the President's "anger translator" had to calm Obama down instead. And then came Cecily Strong, with a sly opening line referring not only to her appearance as one of the few female guest speakers at the correspondents' dinner, but to the upcoming 2016 presidential election. "Feels right," she said, "to have a woman following President Obama." From there, the crowd seemed as tough as advertised, with "oohs" often as loud as laughter, as Strong went from one target to another. She even got "oohs" when her targets were outside the room, as when she said, noting how Obama has aged visibly in office, "Your hair is so white now, it can talk back to the police." But the seemingly tepid response to Strong's routine may have been partly due to the late hour. She came on after not only the dinner service and Obama, but after scholarship awards, correspondent awards and tributes and other bits of official business. And her routine wasn't over until 11:08 p.m. -- making it a longer TV show than even the Emmys. Before the main event finally began, C-SPAN filled the time scanning the room with its cameras, but providing only ambient sound with very few identifying voice-overs or prerecorded features. Once in a while, you could see someone recognizable in the large, oddly eclectic crowd: Tea Leoni, Ivanka Trump, Larry Wilmore, Jane Pauley. For the most part, though, it was like playing a frustratingly difficult Beltway game of spot-the-face-in-the-crowd -- a sort of "Who's Waldo?" And after a few hours watching a gaggle of people chat and eat, all I wanted to do was go home. And I was already home. But I stayed tuned, just so I could watch, and grade, the results. Final tally: Obama gets an A-, Keegan-Michael Key a C, Cecily Strong a B-, and the entire telecast and event an A+ for democracy -- but a D as television.

David Bianculli: Correspondents' dinner, and Cecily Strong as host, were mostly weak, but Obama had some funny zingers . He says "anger translator" bit was funny, but crowd was tough on Strong as event went on and on .

After drawing praise for India’s operation to rescue around 2,000 nationals by air and sea from war-hit Yemen, Minister of State for External Affairs V.K Singh, who is spearheading the rescue exercise, found himself in the thick of a controversy over an unsavoury remark made against the media. The former army chief is currently staying in Djibouti for over a week spearheading Operation Rahat. “Friends what do you expect from presstitutes….” Gen. Singh tweeted last night in response to a channel quoting him saying that he found the evacuation assignment less exciting than his recent visit to the Pakistan High Commission on the occasion of Pakistan's national day. The comment evoked sharp reactions, with the Opposition demanding an apology from the Union minister. But the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has distanced itself from the former army chief’s views. BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said: “Twitter is a personal platform. The meaning of a tweet can be best explained by the person who has tweeted.” But the comment has not gone down well with journalists, and the Broadcast Editors’ Association found the tweet to be offensive. The association’s general secretary, N.K. Singh, said that such comments damage the image of the government. Congress irked . The Congress also grabbed the opportunity to corner the NDA government and demanded that the minister be sacked. “It is very unfortunate that a minister is using abusive language against the media. He is holding a very important position. It is for the prime minister to take a call on this,” said Congress spokesperson Shakeel Ahmed. “Singh’s statement shows utter intolerance and incapacity to hear any kind of criticism or dissent,” the Indian National Congress said on its Twitter handle, quoting its spokesman Abhishek Singhvi. Another party spokesman Sanjay Jha tweeted: “General V.K. Singh’s choice of dreadful terms to attack Indian media is not just politically inappropriate but seriously lamentable.” This is not the first time when General Singh’s tweets have stirred a storm. The Union minister had tweeted “duty” and “disgust” soon after attending a reception hosted by Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit in New Delhi, where Kashmiri separatists were also invited. The Yemen rescue: Indian nationals in Dijibouti before taking off for Mumbai . Singh had represented the government at the Pakistan Day reception and his tweets were read as his displeasure. But the Union minister later clarified that his comment was directed at the media’s twists to the whole episode and that he was misinterpreted. The former army chief has vented his anger at the media several times in the past as well. He has used the word “pressitute” earlier, too, when reports pointing fingers at him for attempting a coup had appeared in the media. The latest episode has hit the government at a time when the flawless execution of Operation Rahat was being hailed by all. The mammoth effort saw 4,000 Indians being brought home safely from the war zone in Yemen besides many citizens of other countries. The former army chief is not known to mince his words. He is not the only one in the government who had uncomfortable relations with a section of media. With PTI inputs . 'Rahat' brings Indians home from Yemen . By Mail Today Bureau in New Delhi . India has pulled off an impressive mission by evacuating nearly 2,000 (by air and sea) nationals during a gruelling operation in the war-hit Yemen. Operation Rahat, as the elaborate humanitarian assistance exercise was christened, has entered its last phase as not many are left to be pulled out from Yemen where Houthi fighters are resisting a Saudi Arabia- led offensive in a war that has left hundreds dead. The Houthis are a Zaidi group that takes its name from Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi, who launched an insurgency in 2004 before being reportedly killed by the Yemeni army. Led by Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, the group carried out a coup in 2014–15 and as of now controls capital Sana’a and the parliament. Three warships, two IAF super heavy transporters, two merchant vessels and two Air India jets helped ferry Indians and some foreigners to safety. Officials said that air operations are being called off, but the naval warships will remain till the last person is evacuated. Minister of State for External Affairs V.K. Singh, who was in the centre of a storm for a remark against the media, led the evacuation operation from Djibouti located on the Horn of Africa across the Gulf of Aden. Singh had created a controversy on Tuesday when he said: “Actually speaking, the operation (evacuation) in Yemen is less exciting than going to the Pakistani embassy.” On Wednesday, he sparked fresh storm by referring to a section of the media as ‘presstitutes’. The Indians were taken out on warships and Air India planes from Yemen and brought to Djibouti before being sent home. It was a Herculean effort considering the numbers involved and the situation on the ground, which was deteriorating with every passing day. As the air operations were being called off on April 8, naval warship INS Tarkash reached Djibouti from Al Hodeidah port with 74 people on board and INS Sumitra entered the Al Hodeidah harbour of Yemen on the Red Sea. Along with destroyer INS Mumbai, the three naval warships made several sorties from Djibouti to the three port cities in Yemen - Al Hodeidah, Aden and Al Mukalla - to bring back the stranded Indians who were told to assemble at these points from the hinterland. The ministry of external affairs coordinated smoothly with various agencies to ensure that the passage back home was safe and secured.

V.K. Singh is leading the operation to evacuate Indians trapped in war-torn Yemen . The minister reportedly said the exercise was less exciting that visiting the Pakistan High Commission . Angry Singh branded a section of the media 'presstitutes' after they quoted him . Congress called his statement 'abusive' and 'lamentable'

Three teenagers have been charged with the vicious bashing of a father and his daughter on the streets of NSW. The attackers, two aged 15 and one aged 14, were arrested by on Friday after the incident took place on Sunday night at Charlestown Square shopping centre, Newcastle. The youths could have been dealt with under the controversial Young Offenders Act, but the seriousness of the incident led police to charge them as normal, according to Fairfax Media.

One 15-year-old boy was charged with assault and affray. The other was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, affray and a count of stealing after he allegedly took a wallet and phone off the 42-year-old victim. The 14-year-old boy was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray. The charges come after shocking footage emerged of the moment a father and his 13-year-old daughter were bashed and robbed by a gang of 25 teenagers outside a shopping centre. Tibor Racsits, 42, had gone to pick up his daughter Kiara from the movies at Charlestown Square in Newcastle, north of Sydney, on Sunday night when they were attacked.

Mr Racsits was walking his daughter down the stairs when he pushed a young man out of the way to get to their car. 'But as soon as I have pushed him out of the way, there was just kicks and punches from the side,' Mr Racsits told the newspaper. He was dragged about 10 metres across the road before they started punching and kicking him.

As a society we believe that our political allegiance depends on which party best marries up with our needs and values, and that these are shaped by our life experiences. But research with twins suggests picking who to vote for in an election might have more to do with your genes than the policies of the parties. To put this to the test, the Department of Twin Research, which hosts the biggest adult twin registry in the UK, recently performed a poll of voting preferences. Deciding who you will vote for may have more to do with your family than who won the leaders debate (above) finds study which looked at the voting habits of twins born in the UK. The aim was to explore how much nature and nurture influence our party political allegiances and potential voting preferences . The twins were all born in the UK and were broadly representative of the UK population. The aim was to explore how much nature and nurture influence our party political allegiances and potential voting preferences so we can draw broader conclusions about people’s voting habits. Twins provide a unique natural experiment for research. Identical twins share 100 per cent of their genes, while non-identical twins - like non-twin siblings - share about 50 per cent. Both identical and non-identical twins normally share the same environment while growing up. Twin studies are useful for exploring whether a trait is forged in the genes, passed down or by the environment a person is living in. As identical twins share exactly the same DNA, traits produced by genes should appear in both twins. However in non-identical twins the DNA will not be the same and so differences can occur. In most cases twins should have shared the same environment when growing up too. So by comparing the differences and similarities between identical and non-identical twins it may be possible to unravel whether a trait is environmental or cultural. However, as twins grow up they can be influenced by different groups of friends, cultural experiences and points of view. This can make it difficult to unpick the influence of environment over genetics. In the case of political views, these can also run strongly in families as they tend to share the same socioeconomic background and parents can often impress their political support upon their children. However, the study of twins found identical twins were more likely to vote the same way than the non-identical twins. Assuming they had similar upbringings and experiences through adulthood, this would suggest there is an underlying genetic influence for political alignment. By comparing the differences and similarities between them the researchers said they can identify how much of a quirk, disease, or trait is due to a genetic predisposition or environmental and cultural factors. Because twin studies adjust for culture and upbringing, they are an ideal way to study political allegiances. The researchers analysed surveys completed by 2,355 twins (comprising responses from 612 full pairs) in March 2015 between the ages of 18 and 80 - most of whom were middle aged. They told the researchers whether they intended to vote, what their political party of choice was, and provided their personal rating of the main party leaders. They found that voting Conservative, or not, is strongly influenced by genetics. When it came to voting Tory, they found that 57 per cent of the variability - differences or similarity - between people’s voting preferences were due to genetic effects. This percentage is called heritability. That means the identical twins were more likely to vote the same way than the non-identical twins - suggesting an underlying genetic influence was stronger than environmental or random factors. For UKIP voting preferences, there was also a moderately strong heritability of 51 per cent. This was closely followed by Labour and the Green Party both with 48 per cent. The exception seemed to be voting for the Liberal Democrats, which was affected entirely by environment with no genetic influence. Identical twins showed exactly the same level of disparity in preference for the Lib Dems as non-identical twins. Geography also played a possible role - as voting for the SNP in Scotland was also completely environmental. These latest results from UK data confirm the trends found in previous research carried out in the US. The researchers analysed surveys completed by 2,355 twins in March 2015 between the ages of 18 and 80 - most of whom were middle aged. They told the researchers whether they intended to vote, what their political party of choice was, and provided their personal rating of the main party leaders . Voting for the Conservative Party, led by David Cameron, pictured above after voting at the last General Election with his wife Samantha, tended to have the strongest heritability according to a study of UK twins . A 2008 survey of 682 pairs of middle-aged twins from the Minnesota Twin Registry showed that self-reported political ideology and right-wing authoritarianism were consistently more similar in the identical twins than fraternal twins. Previous studies have also shown strong genetic influences on right-wing views, be they for or against. 'We and others have demonstrated consistent genetic influences on all measurable aspects of our personalities,' said the researchers. 'The consensus is that these political leanings are mainly due to the genetic makeup of our underlying personalities.' 'Despite this, our survey shows that whether we intend to vote or not does not seem to be influenced by genes and personality. That decision appears to be entirely shaped by environmental factors.' The popularity of Nick Clegg (above), leader of the Liberal Democrats seemed to be heritable, although voting for this party was not heritability and appeared to be influenced by the environment alone, the study showed . The question of whether a leader would make a good prime minister produced mixed responses. David Cameron had the stronger genetic influence on opinions, with 50 per cent heritability, followed by Nick Clegg at 37 per cent. Views on all the other party leaders were purely environmental. Psychology studies have shown our sub-conscious biases for leaders who are tall and with round symmetrical faces so maybe this also plays a role in our choices. But even if we do see party leaders differently, the findings of this study suggest that our choices at the polling booth may not be as free or rational as we would like to believe. Something to think about when you approach the ballot box. Professor Tim Spector is the Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King's College London .

However, voting for the Liberal Democrats is determined by environment . The study suggests there may be an underlying genetic element to politics .

David Cameron urged an audience to support West Ham during a speech yesterday - despite the fact he's always claimed to be an Aston Villa fan. The Prime Minister subsequently admitted he'd suffered a 'brain fade' during the election campaign address in Croydon, where he was outlining his vision for black and ethnic minority communities. He said: 'This a country where people of all faiths, all colours, creeds and backgrounds can live together in one place. David Cameron looks a bit sheepish after accidentally urging the audience to support West Ham - though he didn't correct himself until asked about the gaffe afterwards . Last week the Conservative leader tweeted his delight at Villa reaching the FA Cup final by beating Liverpool . 'We are a shining example of a country where multiple identities work. 'A country where you can be Welsh and Hindu and British, Northern Irish and Jewish and British, where you can wear a kilt and a turban, where you can wear a hijab covered in poppies. 'Where you can support Man Utd, the Windies and Team GB all at the same time. 'Of course, I'd rather you supported West Ham.' The Conservative leader was pulled up on the error after the speech, which he read from an autocue, though the party has since admitted it was not included in his prepared text but was an off the cuff remark. It was omitted from the official transcript of his speech issued by the Conservative Party. Cameron blamed his gaffe on a 'brain fade' like that suffered by Green Party leader Natalie Bennett earlier in the campaign. He said: 'I'm a Villa fan ... I must have been overcome by something ... this morning. 'But there we are, these things sometimes happen when you are on the stump.' The two teams do both play in a claret blue colours - albeit in stadiums 130 miles apart. Only last week Cameron tweeted his delight at Villa reaching the FA Cup final by beating Liverpool 2-1 at Wembley. He told the Birmingham Mail: 'It was a tremendous game with [club stars] Benteke and Delph doing Villa proud, against the odds. I can't wait to watch the final at the end of May.' The PM has been a fan since his teens after after he was taken to Villa Park aged 13 by his uncle Sir William Dugdale, who was club chairman from 1975 to 1982. Sir William died last year. The PM has been a Villa fan since his teens and is pictured here during a game against QPR in 2011 . Piers Morgan was one of a number of football fans to lay in to the Prime Minister on Twitter over his error . His error was swiftly seized upon by his political rivals, as the hashtag #villagate began trending on Twitter. Labour's former communications chief Alastair Campbell - whose own team Burnley also play in claret and blue - said the mistake 'says a lot about his character which impacts upon policy. Out of touch. Phoney. Believes nothing.' Campbell said every sports fan would have their 'stomach churning' to hear the PM apparently forget the name of the team he supported, adding: 'I am sorry but this alone means Cameron has to go. Total million percent phoney, as (Villa manager) Tim Sherwood might say.' Shadow chancellor Ed Balls, a fervent Norwich City fan, tweeted: 'Hey David Cameron ... I'm off to see that football team I support this afternoon. Name escapes me ... they play in yellow ... Watford?' But former Conservative press officer Jonathan Collett, a fellow Villa supporter, said he believed the mistake was down to an error in Mr Cameron's speech. 'PM is a passionate Villa fan. Takes son to matches ... Suspect speechwriter error,' said Mr Collett. Soon after the prime minister's gaffe comedian Matt Lucas took to Twitter, creating an amusing new team name. He posted: 'David Cameron just remembered his favourite football team is Weston Villham.' While former England footballer Gary Lineker posted a video of the 'brain fade' and wrote: 'David Cameron has forgotten which Football Club he supports. Aston Villa last week, West Ham this. Burnely next?'. Cameron backed Aston Villa's new manager Tim Sherwood (pictured) to make an impact in the club's bid to stave off Premier League relegation . Nigel Farage also made fun of Cameron, telling PA he not make 'pretences' about football teams he supports and then change them but revealed his son is a Crystal Palace season ticket holder. The UKIP leader said: 'My grandfather was a Crystal Palace supporter, my grandmother was, my eldest son is a season ticket holder, he's there this afternoon, there's a match against Hull today. 'Football's not a big part of my life but I don't make pretences about teams I support and then chop and change them.' When he was first elected to Parliament in 2001, Cameron said he did not follow football, telling the House of Commons in a debate on hooliganism that year: 'Many of those who have spoken in the debate or have written about the subject are either lawyers or football fans, but I have to confess that I am neither.' The first mentions in the national press of his liking for Aston Villa came after he was elected Tory leader in 2005. He was reported in 2006 to have written on his blog that he 'half-heartedly' supported Villa and could name only three of their players. Mr Cameron was asked about the slip-up in an interview with Sky News' Murnaghan to be broadcast tomorrow. Asked to confirm which team he actually supports, he said: 'I've been an Aston Villa fan all my life, I literally opened my mouth and I was going off-piste about the fact that in Britain you can be a supporter of the West Indies, a supporter of Manchester United, and a supporter of Team GB. 'I was then busking about other things you can support and was ... I don't know what happened to me, it was just one of those things.' Former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell, also a fan of a claret coloured team, enjoyed the PM's gaffe . Asked if it was on the script, he said: 'No, it wasn't on the script, I was going off-script to add to the examples, and I suppose it is just the campaign. By the time you have made as many speeches as I have on this campaign all sorts of funny things start popping out of your mouth.' Asked if he remembered watching Aston Villa beat Bayern Munich in the European Cup final as a child, he said: 'I do, that's why I became a Villa fan.' Pressed to say when it was, he replied: 'I'm not doing quiz time because I'll get them all wrong, but that's not what I'm here to talk about. 'That's why I became a Villa fan, because my uncle was involved in the club, and back in the early 80s, with all those successes, and Andy Gray and Brian Little, and that's what got me going. 'But I don't go very often, in fact I haven't been for years and years, but I try and keep up, and I'm hoping we are going to escape the relegation zone, which we're out of now, and obviously the FA Cup final is very exciting.' The Prime Minister' mistake was soon trending on Twitter as #villagate. He blamed it on a 'brain fade' like that suffered by Green Party leader Natalie Bennett earlier in the election campaign . Reminded of his comment in 2001 in the House of Commons that he wasn't actually a football fan, Mr Cameron said: 'I mean, I'm not a regular attender, I used to play football as a kid, my son plays football, and I try and sort of keep up with what's happening in the Premier League and see how Villa are doing. 'But when they get snug in the middle of the table I tend to sort of, I tend to back off a bit. When we get close to the bottom I get nervous, but I don't know what happened this morning.' Asked a final time to name the year Villa won the European Cup (1982), he said: 'It was early eighties. I'm not going to give you a date because I'll get it wrong.' Asked who scored the one goal (Peter Withe), he replied: 'You're wasting your precious interview time.' In February he publically backed new manager Tim Sherwood to make an impact in Villa's efforts to stave off Premier League relegation, saying: 'I am hoping for a couple of Villa gains to lift us out of the danger zone.' He has been pictured at Villa games in the past, including a clash with QPR at Loftus Road in 2011.

Got the wrong claret and blue side despite being a Villa fan since his teens . Said in his defence: 'These things can happen when you are on the stump'

Kim Kardashian has revealed that she is going to great lengths to make sure that her luxurious designer wardrobe stays in mint condition because she plans on handing ‘everything’ down to her 22-month-old daughter North West. The 34-year-old reality star explained that she is creating an 'archive' of her most infamous outfits, which she stores in clear plastic bags, because she is keen on the idea of North inheriting her wardrobe when she gets older. '[‘I’m saving] every last piece,’ Kim told The Huffington Post of her most memorable designer ensembles. ‘Everything. I have a full archive. The dress that I wore on the cover of Vogue will be hers. All of my Met Gala dresses.' Scroll down for video . Family values: Kim, who is pictured with her smiling daughter North West, revealed that the 22-month-old will inherit her entire wardrobe when she gets older . Mini-me: Kim Kardashian and her 22-month-old daughter North West wear matching back while sightseeing in Armenia . The mother-of-one added: 'I keep everything and put it in these clear plastic bags altogether with the shoes - the whole look of what I wore.' As Kim named her Givenchy wedding dress, which she wore last May to wed Kanye West in Florence, Italy, as the 'prize piece' in her clothing collection, it’s likely that the one-of-a-kind gown will also be handed down to her young daughter one day. Kim credited her husband for 'introducing' her to the fashion world and added that she wants their daughter to follow in their footsteps and be confident in what she wears. She added: 'I took a lot of direction from my husband when he introduced me more to the fashion world. And now I love taking risks. I love wearing things that maybe I couldn’t quite understand at the time.' And Kim maintained that she loves all forms of personal style as long as it's unique to the individual. 'I just love when someone has their own style - even if it’s something that I wouldn’t wear,' she said. 'So I would just encourage North to be herself and wear what she thinks she looks good in. Just be yourself and take risks.' Hot mommy: The 34-year-old, pictured in a figure-hugging nude skirt, said she thinks she dresses sexier now that is a mother . Kim also admitted that she is usually responsible for dressing North, she said the 37-year-old rapper always finds something 'super cute' for their little girl to wear. 'I love when he picks out her clothes,' she explained. 'I know if I go downstairs to make breakfast and ask him to get her dressed that she’ll come down looking super cute. But usually I pretty much pick out her outfits.' And with a mother as glamorous and as make-up savvy as Kim, it's no surprise that North is already developing an obsession with beauty products - and shoes. Last week, The Keeping Up with the Kardashian star spoke with Elle.com about her daughter's budding independence and style preferences while sharing her approach to being a businesswoman, mother, wife and dressing her post-baby body. '[North] is obsessed with make-up and watching me get ready and getting ready herself,' Kim told the website. 'She just loves the process. She could not be more ultimately girly-girl.' Family time: Kim can be seen holding North's hand while she and Kanye tour Armenia . Stellar style: North wore a black fringed dress, black combat boots and an olive green jacket while out with her parents . The mother-of-one noted that after she gives North, who will turn two in June, a bath her adorable daughter always asks for her 'purse' because she really wants to grab her mom's make-up bag, which is inside. Kim said that if she turns around for a second, North will have her lipstick 'all over her face', so she had to give her a 'little make-up bag' of her own. Not surprisingly, the reality TV star, who often matches North's outfits to her own, admitted that she likes it when kid's wear 'mini-me styles' and she loves 'seeing kids in black'. While Kim insisted that North 'gravitates towards really simple things' when it comes to clothing, she noted that her little girl 'loves accessories'. According to Kim, the toddler always requests a pair of shoes to wear first thing in the morning. She added that North 'just discovered backpacks so she loves to put them on'. In fact, North loves luggage in general. The precious tot, who has been photographed lugging a small Frozen-themed suitcase through the airport, always tries to take her mom's luggage. Holiday spirit: North donned a flower and a white ensemble that matched her mother's dress when the Kardashian family went to church on Easter . Matching looks: Kim and North donned neutral coats during a trip to the airport . 'We got the Frozen suitcase so she has to carry it everywhere,' she explained. 'It took us about 30 minutes longer to get through the airport because she had to carry her suitcase herself.’ She noted that North didn't want to be picked up, adding: 'She's very independent . Kim believes that her daughter's independence may have to do with the fact she was adamant about North sleeping in her own room - and now that's where she prefers to be. 'She kind of likes to be in her own room and that has allowed [Kanye and I] to have our time together,' she said. Kim said that she doesn't want to tell anyone how to parent, but it was important to her as a new mom that she set boundaries and dedicate five to ten percent of her day to herself in order to maintain her sanity. In sync: North, who loves accessories, was photographed wearing a YSL bag to the airport and striped pants that matched her mom's button-down shirt . 'It worked for me to be able to get my work out in, make me feel good about myself, put my daughter down to bed at a decent time, and have the night with my husband,' she said. And because those post-baby workouts helped her get back in shape, she has a newfound confidence that has inspired her to flaunt her body in cleavage-baring tops and figure-hugging dresses. '[I think I dress] sexier now than I did before,' she said of her mommy style. Kim, who helped her sisters Kourtney and Khloe launch their latest Kardashian Kids children's collection at Nordstrom.com on Monday, noted that she always gives 100per cent of herself to every project she takes on. 'Nothing comes easy,' she said. 'I know that people joke all the time and try to figure out, you know, what it is that I do, but I work really hard. I get up every day at 5 a.m. and start my day.'

The 34-year-old revealed that she keeps 'everything' she wears and stores the items in 'clear plastic bags' Kim gave birth to North, her first child with husband Kanye West, on June 15, 2013 .

An independent panel of concussion experts formed by the Football Association will meet for the first time in May. The panel of eight medical professionals will advise the FA on what can be done to make the game safer. Head injuries have been under greater scrutiny since Hugo Lloris refused to be substituted following a clash with Romelu Lukaku in 2013, with new rules introduced at the start of the current Barclays Premier League season stating a player suffering a head injury must leave the pitch and only be allowed to return if cleared by a club doctor. The FA have formed a concussion experts panel to help figure out how to make the game safer for players . Recently, the Jeff Astle Foundation has been raising awareness of the danger of long-term head injuries from playing football, with former West Brom player Astle having died in 2002 of a brain trauma caused by heading heavy leather footballs during his career. This weekend saw West Brom wear retro kits against Leicester on Saturday as the foundation was officially launched on Jeff Astle Day at The Hawthorns. The FA's head of performance services Dave Reddin believes the panel will help take safety in the sport to the next level. Jeff Astle died in 2002 after suffering a number of heavy blows to his head during his footballing career . 'The role of the expert panel is to monitor and advise the FA and other football bodies on the appropriate guidelines for all levels of the game,' he told www.thefa.com. 'We have seen an improvement in guidance and communication in this area of sports medicine but we are conscious there is potentially much more to do. 'The group will also be asked to help advise on how football's world governing body should examine and research any long-term effects on the brain through head injury or repeated concussion episodes. George North has been under the spotlight in recent months after suffering a number of concussions . 'I genuinely believe we now have the right people on board to be able to provide the right level of insight for such an important issue.' Reddin, the FA's head of medical services Dr Ian Beasley and representatives of the Premier League, Football League and Professional Footballers' Association will all observe the panel.

Football Association have created a panel made up of concussion experts . The eight medical professionals will meet in May to discuss future plans . Game has been criticised for not dealing with head injuries properly .

Dr Habeeb Latheef is accused of sexually assaulting three women patients during consultations . A married doctor sexually assaulted three female patients while pretending to carry out medical tests, a court heard yesterday. Habeeb Latheef, 48, told them he needed to place objects in their hands to gauge their level of feeling. Instead the family GP allegedly unzipped his trousers and placed his penis in their grip. The patients had booked appointments with the Indian-born doctor to deal with back pain and pins and needles. Latheef is said to have told the women to turn away from him with their hands behind their backs. He put items in their grip, such as a pen and a key, telling the women this would measure their levels of sensitivity. One of the women suspected he was also using his penis and turned to see him bent over and doing up his zip. The alleged offences came to light in December 2011 when a 37-year-old patient contacted police an hour after her appointment with Latheef. The two other allegations from women relate to that year and to 2008. William Hunter, prosecuting, said these two patients at the Hendford Medical Centre in Yeovil, Somerset, did not contact police because they feared they would not be believed. He told Taunton Crown Court the 37-year-old woman visited Latheef with a stiff neck and headache. After a number of tests, Latheef suggested he should measure her sensitivity. The married GP was working at the Hendford Medical Centre surgery in Yeovil, Somerset, pictured . Latheef is on trial at Taunton Crown Court, pictured above, accused of carrying out the assaults over a four year period . Mr Hunter said: ‘He put a pen in her hand. She felt that. He then put a small key in her hand, she felt that. He then put his finger in her hand. ‘She was able to easily recognise each item. Then he put his penis in her hand. He did this more than once. 'It felt different to all the other items. She knew it was a penis. She was shocked. She asked him what he was putting into her hand. 'As she turned around the defendant was bending over and zipping up his trousers. The defendant said it was his finger.’ Mr Hunter said the mother of two was a ‘mature woman’ and knew exactly what she had felt in her hand. Latheef, of Yeovil, denies three charges of sexual assault between February 2008 and December 2011. The trial continues. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Lionel Messi has issued an ominous warning to his opponents with the four-time Ballon d'Or winner declaring he is back to his best after a disappointing and trophy-free 2014. A string of injuries limited Messi's involvement as the Catalan giants lost the La Liga title to Atletico Madrid, the same rivals who knocked them out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals. Messi's misfortune saw the Ballon d'Or go to Cristiano Ronaldo for the second consecutive year while there was also the matter of a tax investigation that carried a potential jail term.

'I am happy. The truth is that I started the season in another way after what happened to me last year,' he said in an interview with Barcelona's club website. 'I was inconsistent last season. I was out for a while due to injury, missing quite a few games. When I came back I didn't feel right. It was a year that I have tried to quickly forget to try and get back to my best through hard work, smiling and effort, like I always have and now, fortunately, I feel very good.' Messi says he is keen to 'get back to my best through hard work, smiling and effort, like I always have' Barca top of the league and his personal goal tally's at 45 from 44 games ahead of PSG on Wednesday . With his breathtaking 2015 form already bringing 34 goals in La Liga and eight in the Champions League, Messi will hit the 400 mark for Barcelona should be find the net in Paris. Being fit again has been key for Messi, but he also says his forward combination with new team-mates Luis Suarez and Neymar have been a calming influence. 'Barcelona have always had great forwards, not just now with Neymar and Luis. But it's true that we are taking advantage of them because they are both great world stars. They give us another thing than goals, so in that sense, I'm calm,' he said.

Ed Miliband today refused to guarantee that Harriet Harman would become Deputy Prime Minister if Labour wins the general election. Just hours before the party launched its women's manifesto, the Labour leader declined several chances to say that his deputy would get the second most powerful job if he gets to Number 10. The snub comes just three days after Miss Harman made clear that she intended to take the role were Labour to make it back into power. Ed Miliband today refused to confirm that deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman would become Deputy Prime Minister if Labour wins the general election . Miss Harman has previously suggested that Gordon Brown's refusal in 2007 to maker her Deputy PM was sexist. Today Mr Miliband also refused to guarantee her the role. He told BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour: 'Well she's the shadow deputy Prime Minister at the moment. 'I've made a sort of self-denying ordinance which is that I don't do what I call measuring the curtains, which is starting to presume the result of the election on May 7th. 'Harriet is an incredibly strong, incredible asset to our party, I can't say fairer than that, but I'm not going to start anticipating what might happen after the election.' His remarks will infuriate Miss Harman, who told the BBC's Andrew Marr show on Sunday that she intended to become Deputy Prime Minister. 'Well I'm Shadow Deputy Prime Minister and I hope that we'll get into government,' she said. Last year Miss Harman used a speech to criticise Mr Brown for not making her Deputy PM when she was elected Labour's deputy leader. 'Imagine my surprise when having won a hard-fought election to succeed John Prescott as deputy leader of the Labour Party, I discovered that I was not to succeed him as deputy prime minister,' she said. 'If one of the men had won the deputy leadership would that have happened? Would they have put up with it? I doubt it.' While refusing to guarantee the job to Miss Harman, Mr Miliband has given stronger assurance to shadow Chancellor Ed Balls that he will have the top job at the Treasury, however. Last month he said: 'I'll tell you who is going to be writing a Labour Budget – it's me and Ed Balls, not Alex Salmond in a million years.' Miss Harman is touring the UK in a pink bus which is meant to showcase 'women's issues' but has been derided for being patronising to female voters . Mr Miliband also defended Miss Harman's 'pink bus', saying he 'loved it' but had not yet been on board. The pink bus – which is meant to showcase 'women's issues' - has been derided for being patronising to female voters. But Mr Miliband defended it, saying at least it 'provoked' a conversation. 'I love the pink bus, I am aspiring to go on it.' He also hit out at suggestions that his wife Justine Thornton had fallen into the 'trap' of being an accessory on the campaign trail, insisting she cared deeply about the country. 'I'd like to see anyone try and stop Justine taking part in this campaign because she'd tell them what for….She is not part of the padding, she is her own person.' Mr Miliband added that she was a 'very successful environmental lawyer' who has recently had her 'biggest case which was about defending Columbian farmers from the might of BP'. Asked about his complicated former love life – including a tryst with former Newsnight economics editor Stephanie Flanders - being played out in the press, Mr Miliband insisted it did not bother him. 'The people I feel sorry for are the people who I have been out with in the past because I am a public figure and they are not.' The Labour leader also admitted his main 'frustration' with his job was not being able to spend enough time with his sons, Daniel, 5 and Samuel, 4. Mr Miliband admitted that he would be hit by his planned Mansion Tax on his £2million north London home . Presenter Jenni Murray told Mr Miliband when she looked at his young sons, she thought of the pressures that had befallen Euan Blair. Mr Miliband admitted: 'It's hard this, I know my first responsibility is to be their dad and I take that incredibly seriously. If I have one frustration about this job, it's making the time for them. I don't want to be an absent father but I am definitely not going to let that happen.' One of Labour's own policies would end up costing his family more, Mr Miliband admitted. He said his own north London townhouse: 'I think I'll be in the £2m to £3m band which is £250 a month. But that is a difference at this election: I believe that people who are well-off, people in my position, should pay a little bit more for the NHS; David Cameron wants to cut taxes further for those who are better off like himself.' Mr Miliband also insisted that he and his older brother were 'moving on' from the Labour contest, in which Ed Miliband was the surprise victor. Asked why, as his critics said, he had 'stabbed' his brother David in the front to go for the Labour leadership, Mr Miliband said: 'What drove me to it is a sense that the Labour Party needed to move on from New Labour. I had strong and deep beliefs about how the country needed to change.' He denied his mother had been too troubled by it, saying 'My mum is pretty stoical. She has faced much harder things to deal with in her life.' Mr Miliband also pledged to try and scrap the 'ridiculous' tampon tax. Currently, sanitary products attract VAT of 5 per cent. He said: 'We reduced it to 5 per cent, I'd like to go further.

They're the fastest-growing nutrition bar in the U.S. with sales topping $100 million. But the FDA has ruled that KIND bars are not as kind on the body as they purport to be. Investigators found that a number of flavors were labeled 'healthy' - brimming with fiber, protein and antioxidants, while being low in fat and sodium. However, upon closer inspection, it was found that 'none of the products met the requirements to make such content claims' and were in fact 'misbranded'. Mislabeled? The FDA has ruled that KIND bars are not as kind on the body as they purport to be . Indeed, Daily Mail Online calculated that one KIND bar flavor - not included in the FDA investigation - contains more calories, fat and sodium than a Snickers bar. A 40g Honey Smoked BBQ KIND Bar - marketed as 'bold and all-natural' - contains 230 calories, 16gms of fat and 125mgs of sodium. Meanwhile, an equivalent serving of Snickers contains 190 calories, 9gms of fat and 91mgs of sodium. In response, a spokesperson for KIND highlighted that nuts are to blame for the imbalance. 'Nuts, key ingredients in many of our snacks and one of the things that make fans love our bars, contain nutritious fats that exceed the amount allowed under the FDA’s standard. 'This is similar to other foods that do not meet the standard for use of the term healthy, but are generally considered to be good for you like avocados, salmon and eggs.'. However, New York University nutritionist Marion Nestle told Today.com that said the problem is not nuts and it's the 'hidden' sugary ingredients that have to change. KIND Bar: Honey Smoked BBQ (40g) Calories: 230 . Fat: 16gm . Sodium:125mg . Protein: 10g . Snickers Bar (40g) Calories: 190 . Fat: 9gm . Sodium: 91mg . Protein: 3g . 'KIND bars are candy bars making health claims, and thereby marketing them as healthy snacks,' Nestle said. The four KIND bars highlighted in the FDA case include the Almond & Apricot, Almond & Coconut, Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Cherry Cashew. On April 14 KIND posted a note on its website stating that it was 'moving quickly to comply' with the FDA's request. 'We're also taking it upon ourselves to conduct a thorough review of all of our snack food labels and website information to ensure that they're compliant,' the message continued. While labeling readjustments will be made to certain bars, KIND reassures fans that recipes will remain the same. It added: 'We couldn’t be more proud of our snack foods and their nutritional benefits. 'Our entire line of delicious snacks made with high quality ingredients like whole grains, nuts and seeds will continue to be available wherever KIND is sold.' KIND bars, the brainchild of New York salesman Daniel Lubetzky, first hit the market in 2004. The clear-packaged snacks quickly became a hit with consumers and sales soared from $15 million in 2008 to nearly $120 million in 2012, according to Fortune. In a bid to expand into the health food market further, Lubetzky came up with a granola-like cereal called 'healthy grain clusters'.. There's said to be 'a multitude of new recipes' in the pipeline too.

James Collins can rest easy. As sensational an own goal as his inadvertently precise lob over Adrian was in West Ham's 2-0 defeat at Manchester City, it was not the weekend's most bizarre. Not by a long way. That honour falls to Mohammad Shatnawi of Jordanian club Al Faisaly, whose effort will be considered as one of the strangest own goals ever. His team were 1-0 down against Al Whidat in the Amman Derby when their opponents pushed forward, looking to double their lead. VIDEO - Scroll down to see Mohammad Shatnawi's amazing own goal . Mohammed Shatnawi bizarrely scored an own goal by kicking the ball over his head at the weekend . Shatnawi appeared to be trying to put the ball out of play after initially making a good save . He watches on in horror as the ball floats ominously towards the net after his overhead kick . As the Al Whidat striker closed in on goal and lashed a venomous strike on target, Shatnawi got down well to stop it with his foot, an impulsive reaction block. But what happened next, as the ball looped up in the air, is inexplicable. Perhaps Shatnawi did not realise he had as much time as he did to collect the rebound. Maybe he thought what he was about to do was the best way to eliminate any impending danger. Or maybe he even mistook his team-mates for opponents. West Ham's James Collins (right) accidentally lobbed his goalkeeper trying to clear a cross on Sunday . Shatnawi kept his eyes on the ball, leaned back, raised his right leg and kicked it over his head, one would imagine in an unorthodox attempt to send the ball over his goal and out for a corner. Instead, his touch was a little too cushioned, and the ball drifted nonchalantly into his own net.

A couple accused of kidnapping two Amish girls from a produce stand before shackling and sexually abusing them have been offered a plea deal that would spare the girls from testifying. Stephen Howells, 39, and his 25-year-old girlfriend Nicole Vaisey, from Hermon, New York, were charged last summer with sexually exploiting the Amish girls and other children. They each face kidnapping and federal child exploitation charges after police say they abducted the girls, then seven and 12, from their family's farm roadside vegetable stand on August 13. On Tuesday, St. Lawrence County District Attorney Mary Rain said that the defendants were advised of the strength of the evidence and offered an agreement to plead guilty in both cases. Accused: Stephen Howells, 39, and his 25-year-old girlfriend Nicole Vaisey have been offered a plea deal after being charged last summer with sexually exploiting two Amish girls and other children . Guilty pleas would mean the victims wouldn't have to testify, including others who are not publicly known, which Rain said is one of her biggest concerns. She declined to disclose the terms offered so it is not clear how much time the duo would serve. Their federal trial has been reset for July 6 on charges they coerced minors to make pornographic videos, and they also face kidnapping charges in state court. The Amish girls were abducted from the stand in rural Oswegatchie, near the Canadian border. The incident touched off a massive search in the community of about 4,000 people, but authorities were hampered by a lack of photos of the girls. The Amish typically avoid modern technology, and the family had to work with an artist to produce a sketch of the older girl. Authorities say the girls were shackled to a bed and sexually abused before they were released 24 hours later and turned up safe at the door of a house in Bigelow, New York, belonging to Jeffrey and Pamela Stinson, who drove them home. Scene: The two girls, then aged seven and 12, were abducted from this farm roadside stand in August . Fears: Authorities can be seen at the family's farm after the abduction in Oswegatchie, near Canada's border . Heroic: A day after the girls were abducted and sexually assaulted, they were left at Jeffrey and Pamela Stinson's home 20 miles from their farm. The couple then returned the girls to their home . Howells, a registered nurse at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center, and Vaisey, a former dog groomer, were arrested on August 15 after voluntarily going to the sheriff's office for an interview. This week, investigators told WWNY that Howells had planned to kill the girls and then bury their bodies to hide the crime but Vaisey convinced him to let them go. The original federal indictment said another young girl, now about 8 years old, also was sexually abused by the couple during the two-year span. Rain said the defendants have not yet responded to the offer and she declined to say how many victims they've identified. 'We are still gathering evidence,' she said. The latest federal indictment, based on computer videos taken from the couple's rural home in Hermon, where authorities say the Amish girls were held, listed six victims. Sources close to the investigation also told WWNY that sexually disturbing video images involving several handicapped adults were found on the couple's computer hard drive. 'Controlled': Howells dominated Vaisey in a sort of master-slave relationship, her lawyers have said . Locked up: Howells, formerly a registered nurse in Ogdensburg, New York, has three children of his own . Arrest: Vaisey, seen in August, and her boyfriend were arrested after voluntarily going for police interviews . 'Everyone is working toward finding a way of resolving this matter,' said Vaisey's attorney, Bradford Riendeau. 'A trial is one way.' He declined to comment on the report from WWNY television that Howells considered killing the Amish girls and Vaisey convinced him to let them go. Riendeau has maintained that Howells dominated Vaisey in a sort of master-slave relationship. During a hearing in August, Vaisey said that she and Howells had been on a 'shopping trip' for slaves on the day of the kidnapping. Calls to Howells' attorney, federal public defender Randi Bianco, were not immediately returned. The couple's house was later bought by a neighbor. It was burned down as a fire department training exercise and the debris cleared. Howells has three children of his own.

These amazing images reveal a kaleidoscope of colours in icy caves underneath a glacier. The rainbow caves are given their various colours by light refracting through the ice - with the thicker the ice, the more emerald they appear. And a photographer, from Kamchatka, in the Russian Far East, also decided to add his own take - by lighting flares and breathing fire to turn the normally blue hues into dark reds. Scroll down for video . The caves are found near the Mutnovsky volcano, 45 miles (72km) south of the regional capital of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky . The caves, found near the Mutnovsky volcano, 45 miles (72km) south of the regional capital of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, were captured by local guide and photographer Denis Budkov. Mr Budkov, 35, trekked inside the dangerous caves - which could collapse at any moment - to capture the colourful scenes. The amazing images reveal a kaleidoscope of colours in icy caves - lit up by flares and fire-breathing (Denis Budkov pictured) 'It was pretty cold and wet inside and the water was flowing down from the roof and walls,' he said. ‘It was zero degrees inside, too, and the lens was getting damp - making it hard to shoot. ‘But when I got deeper inside the caves, I was amazed by the colours I saw. I haven't seen anything like this before. ‘The emerald colours of the ice were spectacular, and worth the risk of the roof caving in to capture the pictures.’ On the left is the location of the caves, and on the right is a picture of photographer Denis Budkov . Mr Budkov, 35, trekked inside the dangerous caves - which could collapse at any moment - to capture the colourful scenes . The extensive caves, some parts of which have water in them, were first discovered by Mr Budkov by chance . The ice cave's unique formations are created by the heavy winter snow becoming compressed and forming ice. Then as the short, summer months arrive, intensive melting of the ice creates ravines which flow and hollow out the caves and tunnels. The incredible lights shining purple, blue, green and yellow are no computer trickery - they are the result of sunlight streaming through the glacial ice into the hidden world below. The cave was carved out of the glacier by an underground river that is sourced in a hot spring gushing from the Mutnovsky volcano itself.

Judge Mary Stacey admitted the victim had been 'scarred psychologically' by the sexual assault but freed Josh Sweet after serving just two months on remand . A burglar who broke into a young teacher's home and sexually assaulted her as she lay in bed has been freed by a judge who handed him a community sentence. The decision's been slammed by a Victim Support charity worker, who said that 'victims deserve justice', after the 24-year-old teacher was left traumatised by the ordeal. Judge Mary Stacey admitted the victim had been 'scarred psychologically' during the case at Birmingham Crown Court, which has left her 'petrified' and afraid to go out. But Joshua Sweet, 20, from Birmingham, was freed and given a three-year community order on account of an early plea and having spent just two months in jail awaiting his court appearance. Madhu Rai, prosecuting, said Sweet broke into the victim's home and took items including car keys and a mobile phone before making his way upstairs, where the victim was asleep. In the dead of night, she awoke to find the intruder 'standing beside her bed' and screamed, which is when the terrifying assault began. Sweet then rolled down her duvet and touched the defendant sexually, saying 'you're not going to make any noise are you?' Miss Rai said the woman was extremely frightened and tried to divert the defendant. Sweet touched the woman’s bottom and upper thigh but as he took hold of the waistband of her pyjama bottoms, her house-mate, the owner of the property, came into the room and he fled. The police were called and Sweet was arrested nearby, but the victim's ordeal continued. In a statement she said she had been 'petrified' at finding a stranger in her bedroom and that the incident, which had caused her to take time off work, had left her feeling vulnerable and unsafe. She said she had put a bolt on her bedroom door and had been reluctant to come out. Sentencing guidelines for sexual assaults range up to eight years for the most serious cases. And although the nature of this case falls in the lower end of the scale, the sentence angered a victim support charity that said offenders 'must be given a punishment that fits their crime'. Joshua Sweet, 20, admitted burglary and sexual assault and was given a three-year community order, ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work and must register as a sex offender for five years . Carolyn Hodrien, victim services director for Victim Support, said: 'From supporting thousands of victims of sexual assault, we know what a devastating impact it can have on people's lives. 'Victims deserve justice and for this to happen offenders must be given a punishment that fits their crime. Community orders can be a really effective way to manage some offenders, but should never be issued for a serious offence or as a quick-fix.' Sweet, 20, of Alwold Road, Weoley Castle, Birmingham, who admitted burglary and sexual assault, was also ordered to do 150 hours unpaid work and register as a sex offender for five years. The judge also made a restraining order banning the defendant from going to the victim's road or having any contact with her. Mohammed Hafeez, defending, said Sweet was a young man with many difficulties and had been the victim of serious offences himself which had had a 'significant' effect on his mental health. He said the death of a daughter had caused him to drink to excess and that he had little recollection of what he had done.

Maximum sentence is 8 years but Sweet served just two months on remand . Support charity says 'victim's deserve justice' in reaction to lenient sentence .

Wellness warrior Belle Gibson sensationally admitted yesterday in a tell-all interview that she had made up her terminal brain cancer diagnosis. The 23-year-old founder of The Whole Pantry app came clean about her circumstances, telling the Australian Women's Weekly, 'none of it's true'. In the interview, Gibson asked her former fans and customers who purchased her app and books to see her as only 'human'. Leading psychologist Jo Lamble told Daily Mail Australia that this is a common reaction from people who are suffering from anti-social personality and narcissism disorders. Scroll down for video . Life-long struggle with the truth: Belle Gibson sensationally admitted that her terminal cancer was a lie in an interview with the Australian Women's Weekly . Lamble has not treated Gibson personally but said, in her professional opinion, she believes Gibson could be displaying signs of both a narcissism disorder and anti-social personality disorder. Lack of remorse is a common trait seen in those with anti-social personalities, Lamble says. 'A lack of remorse definitely fits in. It's like - you do what you need to do to get what you want,' she said. 'So if they need money they will commit fraudulent acts and steal, for example.' While other experts suggested to AWW that she could be suffering Munchhausen Syndrome, Lamble believes this isn't likely to be the case for Gibson. Changing times: 'In the past, a need for that love and attention may have been in less dangerous ways... but now technology has allowed it to get completely out of hand,' says Lamble . 'With Munchhausen, they normally don’t just lie, they go much further to be sick. 'While they definitely fake illness, they also self-harm and don’t normally do it for money purposes, they do it for attention,' she said. 'For example, they will go to lots of different doctors and shop around until someone believes their symptoms. They also might drink poison or swallow things or stab themselves, then ask, "what’s wrong with me?'' 'So I think in this particular case,  she’s made up a story for fame, fortune, signing book deals - which suggests more narcissism and anti-socialism,' added Lamble. Another common trait shared by narcissists is that sufferers are often very charismatic. 'A lack or remorse definitely fits in... you do want you need to do to get what you want': Leading psychologist Jo Lamble says that Gibson's actions point to both a narcissism disorder and anti-social personality disorder . 'Narcissistic people will lie and build themselves up to be an amazing person full of grandiosity, wanting fame and fortune. They love to believe they are special and need all this admiration and attention,' the psychologist said. Lamble says this can often be a sign of neglect. This fits with Gibson's account of a troubled childhood - she was quoted in the Women's Weekly saying she had to bring herself up - doing the dishes and cooking her own food from a very young age, for example. According to Lamble, the common signs of someone showing an anti-social personality disorder are... 1. They deceive and lie . 2. They lack remorse . 3. They can be impulsive and irresponsible . 4. They don’t respect the law . 5. They don’t mind if they hurt family and friends, anyone is open to being deceived . 6. They are very charming and charismatic . 7. They have a certain attractiveness and draw people in . 8. They show a real interest in people . 9. Passionate about things . 'Neglect can lead someone to develop really unhealthy strategies to seek the love and attention they missed out on,' says Lamble. 'In the past, a need for love and attention may have emerged in less dangerous ways  - a lie here, a lie there - but now technology has allowed it to get completely out of hand. 'Social media has become the perfect way to gain that, we know anyone is thrilled when they get new followers -  let alone hero worship, worldwide fans and book deals,' she said. 'I worry about future generations with things like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and people constantly needing excessive praise.' Lamble says our social media culture is fuelling unhealthy expectations for young girls but also a way of accessing information that could be misleading. 'Everyone laughs about Dr Google and how if you have some condition you should see an expert but that goes for all these self styled gurus in anything. 'We might want to buy into a story, it's very appealing for people to love somebody who can turn something around and survive and particularly so if they are very marketable but any idolisation of someone isn't healthy. 'With massive followings and a glamorous story, young minds will follow that and believe it. Our poor doctors must have people coming in every day and people saying this is what I'm doing and why. Let’s look at the science,' she said. 'They love to believe they are special': 'Narcissistic people will lie and build themselves up to be an amazing person full of grandiosity, wanting fame and fortune, says psychologist Jo Lamble (pictured left). She believes Belle Gibson (pictured right) may suffer from a narcissism disorder and anti-social personality disorder. Lamble also believes that Gibson could struggle to change without help. 'She might change her name and come up with some other scheme unless she shows genuine remorse, seeks help, and develops some insight. With what she is displaying, the prognosis is quite poor.' According to the interview, Gibson's new management will be organising for a psychologist to see her.

Wellness guru and app developer Belle Gibson lied about having cancer . 'No, none of it is true,' she told Australian Women's Weekly . 'I am still jumping between what I think I know and what is reality', she said . Leading psychologist believes Gibson could be suffering from both anti-social behaviour and narcissism disorders . Jo Lamble says the wide adoption of technology and social media mean that small lies can easily get out of hand .

Finding a place where you can experience some all-important family time, outdoor fun and a helping of luxury at the same time might sound like a tall order... But if you're partial to a weekend under canvas, family-oriented festival Elderflower Fields might be one of the best tickets you can buy this year. As its founders explain, Elderflower Fields, held in the idyllic setting of Pippingford Park in the Ashdown Forest, is about giving children and families the chance to take part in a huge range of activities. Elderflower Fields Festival will be held in the idyllic setting of Pippingford Park for the second year running . The independent festival was created in 2012 by a small team of friends to provide the perfect environment for kids and grown-ups to fully escape for a weekend. Now entering its fourth year, Elderflower Fields builds upon the winning formula of a festival designed especially for families with children. It’s an exciting experience that opens children and their parents’ minds to new opportunities in sport, music, the arts, the environment and food, all set in the great outdoors. So says Nigel Greenwood, cofounder of So Sussex, the organisation responsible for creating the festival. "We’ve been overwhelmed by the positive comments and feedback received from festival goers over the last three years. Their words sum up the ethos of the festival far better than we ever could and inspire us to improve and make Elderflower Fields 2015 the best yet," he says. The Kalakuta Millionaires were a popular draw on the main stage last year . The view from the back: The Tones played in 2012 to an appreciative crowd . "What's really exciting for us is that the festival is becoming a moment of inspiration for children, their families and festival goers to try out new things." So what can festival goers expect in 2015? "Elderflower Fields prides itself on booking the best up and coming new bands and performers and providing opportunities for young people to engage in and be inspired by music," says Greenwood. The diverse range of artists already confirmed for Elderflower Fields 2015 includes Danny and the Champions Of The World, Patch and The Giant, The Kings Parade, and Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer. Spa in the woods anyone? The chance to sip champagne in a hot tub proved rather popular in 2014... thanks to Bathing Under the Sky . Children go free! The idyllic surrounds of the Ashdown Forest made for one giant playground . Other performance experiences include a storytelling area in the woods, theatre and dance classes, magic and movement workshops, plus a good old fashioned family rave from the brilliant Big Fish Little Fish party people. This year will see the festival partner with East Sussex Music Services for the first time to provide a range of introductory music opportunities for children. This includes instrument try outs, composing workshops, songwriting workshops and a BBC Ten Pieces performance developed with schools before the festival which will then see kids learning the piece during the festival itself. Richard Navarro and other musicians will be taking time from performing to run masterclasses in the Youth Music area. Sea of green: Campers walk down through the fields to the nearby festival areas, with more activities for children going on in the woods than you can shake a stick at . Everybody say hey! The Sports camps run by Premier Sports were a huge hit with children (and parents...) Premier Sport will be running this years sports camp giving children the chance to try diverse sports such as dodgeball, lacrosse and tri-golf. Organisers say they will also be running an orienteering course and a Disc Golf course with Sussex Disc Golf. "We also have SKiL coming to provide drop in activity sessions including stickball and adventure runs, and in this the year of the Rugby World Cup we have the coaches of Lewes Rugby Club running two beach rugby sessions," says Greenwood. Meanwhile the Urban Woods welcomes back climbing, parkour, slacklining and our skateboard half pipe, plus Adventure Unlimited have been called in to provide kayaking, raft building and high ropes. Anything else? Well yes. The So Sussex Sunday picnic has become something of a trademark and is one of the highlights of the weekend. The perfect way to spend an afternoon with friends and family (or even strangers) - it's all included in the ticket. Could Elderflower Fields be the only festival in the world to supply every guest with a free shared picnic filled with delicious tasters of local produce? Yes. And don't mention the legendary chocolate cake... Elderflower Fields has more free activities on offer per child that any other festival, the organisers claim. All sessions are run by a dedicated team of professional organisations providing kids with the opportunity to discover new skills and have fun. Rafting, mud hut building, music masterclasses, parkour, science, disc golf, night walks, slack-lining, bush craft skills, art workshops, sports camp, kayaking, orienteering, pond dipping, drama workshops, climbing wall and more are all included in the price of the ticket. The Green People Woodland Spa is already taking bookings for luxurious festival pampering. It's possible to prebook supervised sports or arts camp sessions via the website so that the kids are taken care of while parents relax. The Double Decker Hot Tub Bus is back as well. As for the music lineup, think Gypsy, folk, blues, rock, cajun, swing, dance and classical. "We're super excited about the line up this year and think we have something for everyone. We also welcome a unique performance being curated on site by East Sussex Music Service as part of the BBC Ten Pieces, as well as the winners of our Youth Music Competition," says Greenwood. 5: Food and Drink: We have some of the finest local food providers at Elderflower Fields this year. Some regular favourites and a few new surprises to enjoy. All supplying affordable high quality meals. We've worked hard with suppliers to ensure all diets are catered for - especially the kids. The cocktail bar will be back with a new stage and late music for the night owls and two further bars will be serving up craft beers, local ales, ciders and more... As the organisers are parents themselves they must know the value of having time to relax and unwind... Happy families from the last three years can vouch for that. Some of the reviews of Elderflower Fields include these rather positive vibes: . "The festival was populated by happy families replete with festival cheer and zillions of small children enjoying their free-range festie-freedom. Pippingford Park is an amazing venue surrounded by some of the most beautiful nature in the south of England, well away from the hustle and bustle of daily life."

Women paid 62p an hour in Mauritius to make ‘feminist’ T-shirts have been beaten by police during protests over pay and conditions at their ‘sweatshop’ factory. Dozens of workers at the factory – exposed by The Mail on Sunday for its low wages and prison-like accommodation for women making the ‘This Is What A Feminist Looks Like’ T-shirts – have been sacked and deported for staging what bosses called ‘an illegal strike’. At the end of a peaceful three-day protest, Bangladeshi migrant workers – who produce clothes for Whistles, Topshop and Next – were surrounded by officers who charged at them, hitting out with batons, before dragging the screaming women away. Scroll down for video . Beaten: Workers were treated roughly by police during protests over pay and conditions at their ‘sweatshop’ factory . As many as 1,800 workers at the Compagnie Mauricienne de Textile (CMT) factory went on strike last week about their pay, harsh treatment, food and concerns about a missing worker. Now 69 of the women have been deported to Bangladesh and scores more now fear for their jobs. Whistles, in partnership with feminist charity The Fawcett Society and Elle magazine, enlisted the factory to make the £45 T-shirts last year and they were proudly worn by Labour leader Ed Miliband, his deputy Harriet Harman and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. After this newspaper revealed the female workers’ poor pay and living conditions – they sleep 16 to a room – Whistles and The Fawcett Society defended the factory, claiming it conformed to ‘ethical standards’. Exposed: The 62p-an-hour factory where 'This is what a feminist looks like' T-shirt was made . But last night, Whistles and Topshop announced investigations, while Next cancelled its orders from the factory. A Labour spokesman condemned the violence. One Bangladeshi worker, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said: ‘Police charged at us, beating us with sticks. We started screaming and running. They hit us and dragged some of the women away. I’m really scared I’ll be deported as well. If I lose my job, my family will be ruined.’ Fighting back tears, she lifted the lid on life inside the factory, revealing that employees were told by bosses to lie to auditors about their working conditions or face being sacked. She said they are often forced to work from 7.30am until 11pm to meet unreasonable targets of making 300 garments a day. She added that the women, who work six-day weeks, are not paid for all of their overtime. The strike was sparked after factory worker Nazma Aktear went missing on March 26 following a hospital visit. Her colleagues grew increasingly worried when bosses failed to provide information about her whereabouts. They downed tools on Tuesday. The day after, as protests escalated, police and government ministers ordered the employees back to work. A dedicated band of 200 women continued the strike on Thursday despite Miss Aktear being found. Bosses paraded a frail Miss Aktear in front of the protesters and repeated orders for them to return to work. But the workers, who receive less than the island’s living wage, refused and the violence ensued. Unrest: A striker is led away by police at the Mauritius factory amid unrest of pay and conditions . Violence: Dozens of workers at the factory have been sacked and deported following the strike at the Mauritius factory where police are accused of brutality . Following our exposé in November, Next met with factory bosses and ‘identified a number of specific shortcomings that required addressing by CMT’ and last week it carried out another inspection and found ‘there are still some outstanding areas of concern’. It has now cancelled its most recent order and future orders pending an inquiry. A Whistles spokesman said: ‘We are deeply concerned by reports of recent events concerning the CMT factory. We are investigating these allegations as a matter of urgency.’ A spokeswoman for Topshop owner Arcadia said: ‘We have started a full and detailed investigation into the reported incident.’ A spokesman for Miliband and Harman said the T-shirts were ‘a campaign run by Elle and The Fawcett Society to promote feminism and we were happy to support it’. Elle, The Fawcett Society and CMT refused to comment.

Professor Ninian Peckitt, 63, has been struck off after a hearing heard that he punched a patient in the face ten times to fix a broken cheekbone . A groundbreaking facial surgeon has been struck off after repeatedly punching a patient in the face 'like a boxer' to fix his broken cheekbone. Professor Ninian Peckitt, 63, claimed he was attempting to reduce the fracture when he hit the patient up to ten times while a colleague held his head, a medical hearing heard. The patient, known as Patient A, had come to Ipswich Hospital in February 2012 after an industrial accident and been operated on by Prof Peckitt, who is a world-renowned facial surgeon. But he required a second procedure after falling off the bed in hospital which displaced his cheekbone. That's when Prof Peckitt struck the patient while he was under anesthetic. Prof Peckitt, an honorary locum consultant in oral and maxillo-facial surgery at Ipswich Hospital, claimed he 'digitally manipulated' the patient's face and denied any wrongdoing. But he was 'erased' from the medical register after the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) panel found that his fitness to practice was impaired. The hearing heard that Patient A could have been blinded by the force of the punches from Professor Peckitt. Chair Dr Ian Spafford said 'under no circumstances' would it be appropriate to apply enough force to potentially damage to the optic nerve. Erica Rapaport, a dental surgeon with more than 30 years experience, said she was told to hold the patient's head before the first punch. She said she was left in 'total shock' and there were gasps from colleagues in the operating theatre as she gave a harrowing account of the procedure. 'He made his hand into a fist and he hit the patient in the face on the left side of his cheek. 'His hand was about six inches away. I think the first time he punched the patient I wasn't holding him and it was then that I was instructed to do so by Prof Peckitt. 'He said that when the patient fell out of bed, the cheekbone which was already fractured was moved outwards so he was trying to re-position it without having to make further cuts to the face. 'He said this at least after the first punch. 'He applied about ten punches like a boxer. He took aim and then punched. 'The first punch was unexpected and then he explained what he was doing. He spoke as he punched again and again.' After graduating in medicine from the University of Sheffield in 1979, Mr Peckitt completed further training with the Royal College of Surgeons of England and became a Fellow of the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery in 2009. He has lectured on titanium implants and been published in medical journals so Miss Rapaport said she came into the hospital on her day off to take part in surgery and learn about his renowned techniques. Christopher Hamlet, representing the General Medical Council, previously told the hearing that the case wasn't based on the outcome of the procedure but the method. Professor Peckitt didn't seek advice from colleagues and quit his post days later. He was also alleged to have failed to check the medical records of a second patient, Patient B, which led to him attempting an unnecessary procedure on her, and to have treated another, Patient C, for a complex facial deformity without seeking the advice of another surgeon. At the tribunal in Manchester, Miss Rapaport was asked to clarify the analogy by panel member Dr Shazad Amin who suggested it implied Prof Pickett took a 'larger swing'. Asked if the punch was more 'of a jab', she added: 'I meant he was looking to take aim. Professor Ninian Peckitt had been an Honorary locum consultant at Ipswich Hospital when he punched a patient to correct a broken cheekbone. He later wrote the patient's face had been 'digitally manipulated' 'When I said it was like a boxer I meant he was carefully aiming where he wanted to hit. 'Then he pulled his hand back to get the maximum hit as he touched the patient's face. 'I can remember a feeling of total shock the first time he hit the patient because I wasn't expecting it and I think anyone who saw what happened was reacting in a similar way and then he asked me to assist by holding the patient's head. '[The punches] were his fist aimed at the side of the patient's face. 'He was looking himself and inspecting it and asked if anybody thought the fracture had moved. 'I understand generally it is nice not to have to make an incision but I do not understand the uncontrolled nature of hitting someone. 'I didn't challenge him at the time. I was too shocked.' Miss Rapaport added that following the operation, Prof Peckitt told her to write that the cheek had been adjusted by 'external pressure' in her operating notes. She said: 'Prof Peckitt asked me to write up the note and I felt very challenged by what he had just done. I asked him if he would write it and he said he would dictate the exact words for me to write down. 'He said "the left malar was adjusted by external pressure". They were precisely his words. 'I particularly [didn't want to] write the note because accurately I would have had to write "Prof Peckitt punched the patient to try and move the left zygoma" and that's not something I would have wanted to do. 'I didn't challenge him. Partly because he is a consultant and partly because I was so shocked that I didn't have the strength to argue. 'I didn't see any damage, I just thought it was a very unusual technique. 'I was holding his head very still. It must have moved a little [when he punched] but not much. 'Prof Peckitt is much stronger than I am so I could only give as much support as I could so it might have moved a little. 'If I asked you to hold something still then I punched it, you don't know how hard someone is going to punch so you don't know how much resistance to apply.' Prof Peckitt has pioneered 'engineering-assisted' surgery techniques and written extensively on the subject, as well as cosmetic surgery. He is now believed to be working as a consultant surgeon in Dubai and elected not to attend the hearing but issued an email in which he 'emphatically denied' the allegations. He claimed he was being 'victimised' but the panel ignored these claims and the professor was struck off. Panel chair Ian Spafford said: 'The Panel has determined that Mr Peckitt's misconduct is fundamentally incompatible with his continuing to practise medicine. 'Therefore, it has determined that, in the particular circumstances of this case, it would not be sufficient nor proportionate to suspend his registration. 'The Panel is of the view that the public interest requires that it be made clear that Mr Peckitt's behaviour is unacceptable in a member of the medical profession. 'The Panel has determined to direct that Mr Peckitt's name be erased from the Medical Register. 'In the light of all the evidence presented to it, it is satisfied that erasure is a proportionate sanction in his case.'

An apprentice electrician fell off a ladder and died in front of his father after he was electrocuted while testing lights in a factory, an inquest has heard. Nathan Brown, 19, was working with his father David, an experienced electrician, when he apparently touched a set of exposed electrical bars powering a crane. The shock caused him to fall 12ft head first onto the roof of a toilet block below the crane. He was airlifted to hospital but later died from his injuries. Tragic: Apprentice electrician Nathan Brown died after being electrocuted while testing lights . Accident: Nathan fell 12ft from a ladder after being electrocuted, and later died of his injuries . The inquest in Oldham heard that Nathan - described by his family as a 'cheeky, happy boy' - trained to become an electrician so he could follow in his father's footsteps. The pair were both working at Eurofabs UK Ltd, a sheet metal manufacturer in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, when tragedy struck in September 2013. Nathan was told to climb up a ladder onto the walkway of a crane and test the lights in the building's roof, taking readings and shouting them down to his father - a task as easy as plugging in a television. But he accidentally touched a 400-volt busbar, a metal strip which conducts electricity within a switchboard, while he was trying to climb high enough to carry out the tests. Forensic pathologist Philip Lumb told the inquest he found burn marks consistent with electrocution on Nathan's arm. Family: The 19-year-old was working with his father David, an experienced electrician, at the time of his death . He said: 'I gather Nathan was an apprentice electrician who was working for his father and contracted by a company called Eurofabs to conduct a complete electrical inspection. 'One of his duties was to inspect one part of the roof. In order to gain access, Nathan had to get on top of a toilet block and place a ladder against an electrical crane to access the platform where the lights were located. 'His father was working in the premises at the time. A short time late his father saw Nathan fall head first into the roof of the toilet block, about 12ft. He did not note any sounds of attempts to break his fall. 'He went to attend to him but found him in a collapsed condition, although his father said he may be able to feel a pulse.' Dr Lumb told the inquest the cause of Nathan's death was electrocution and that he probably suffered cardiac arrest before falling to the ground. His mother Nicole, 47, said she learnt of the accident when she was called by her other son Gary, who worked at Eurofabs. She told the inquest: 'He said, "Don't panic mum but Nathan has had a fall." I remember saying, "Why, what happened?" He said, "He has fallen from a ladder." 'I asked if he was OK and he said he didn't know as he wasn't conscious. He said, "You need to get here as soon as you can mum." I just rushed out the house and got on the car and drove straight over. 'I remember running up the stairs to get to him. I just got more or less up the stairs and I saw the paramedics trying to save him.' Workplace: Nathan and his father were carrying out electrical tests at Eurofabs UK in Rochdale . In a statement Mr Brown, 50, who has been an electrician for 32 years, said that his son had joined him as an apprentice in September 2012 after embarking on a three-year training course, and had completed health and safety training a month before the fatal accident. He said: 'As an apprentice he was learning on the job and only ever allowed to complete basic tasks such as basic electrics, switches, sockets and lights. 'You would only ever allow Nathan to carry out work when safe for him to do so and work within capability, knowledge and competence.' Mr Brown said he had carried out work at the Eurofabs premises twice before, and on this occasion was carrying out a general electrical survey which he likened to an 'MOT.' He said he decided to put a ladder over the toilet block beneath a 10-tonne travelling crane and had not seen the busbar overhead. He told the inquest: 'As far as I am aware the busbar should have been marked up in a sleeve with the marking "danger high voltage". I have never come across a busbar not sleeved and marked with an appropriate sign. 'Had I been aware of the presence of the busbars in such unprotected conditions then I would not have continued to take this work. In all 32 years' experience with busbars I have seen them properly protected and never come across exposed busbars as present on the day of the accident. 'That was the worst and fastest day of my life. It's a blur but I can't get rid of some of those thoughts. The test he was doing would be as simple as plugging a TV into a wall. 'I'm completely devastated by the accident and life will never be the same again. He was the light of my life and my family and I will miss him so much. Time is a great healer and I hope that will be the case.' The inquest continues.

Nathan Brown, 19, was working with father David testing lights in a factory . He climbed up on a crane but accidentally touched exposed power supply . The shock made him fall 12ft head first and he died of his injuries . Inquest hears that the power supply was not clearly marked as dangerous .

Britain faces a 'coalition of chaos' under Ed Miliband and Nicola Sturgeon, David Cameron warned today. The Prime Minister, who travelled to Glasgow this morning to unveil the Tory Party's Scottish manifesto, accused the SNP and Labour of posing a 'clear and present danger' to Britain. He said the two parties were pretending to 'slug it out' ahead of next month's poll – but insisted they were both working to ramp up spending regardless of the deficit. Scroll down for video . The Prime Minister, who travelled to Glasgow this morning to unveil the Tory Party's Scottish manifesto, accused the SNP and Labour of posing a 'clear and present danger' to Britain . Mr Cameron said Ed Miliband could now only become Prime Minister with the support of the SNP. He told activists: 'We meet here in Scotland in the middle of a massive political fight. We've got Labour and the SNP on opposite sides – slugging it out – but if you take a step back they're really on the same side. 'You have a weak Labour party, who want more spending, more borrowing, more debt and more taxes. And the people who will prop them up, the SNP – who want even more spending, more borrowing, more debt and more taxes.' Mr Cameron said together, the SNP and Labour 'pose a clear threat to the future of our United Kingdom', adding: 'A coalition of chaos.' He said: The SNP acting as the chain to Labour's wrecking ball, running right through our economic recovery - and it will be you who pays the price. With jobs losses, massive tax rises and an economy back on brink of bankruptcy.' Mr Cameron's blistering attack comes ahead of tonight's live TV election debates between the main 'challenger' parties - including Mr Miliband and Ms Sturgeon, alongside the leaders of Ukip, the Greens and Plaid Cymru. Mr Cameron walks with the leader of Scottish Conservatives as they launch the Tories' election manifesto today . David Cameron and Nick Clegg are not taking part because they have been in power for the last five years. Mr Miliband is expected to use the BBC debate to issue a warning to Scottish voters that success for the SNP north of the border could deliver a Conservative government in Westminster. The Labour leader has ruled out a formal coalition with the SNP in a hung Parliament, but he is likely to face calls from Ms Sturgeon to join a 'progressive alliance' to bring an immediate end to austerity, which is also backed by Plaid and the Greens. Nicola Sturgeon has called on Ed Miliband to work with the SNP to 'lock out' David Cameron from Number 10 . Conservatives are hoping that the debate would give added bite to their claim that a Miliband administration would be 'in the pocket' of the SNP. Tory deputy chief whip Greg Hands said: 'Will we see the alternative to David Cameron in the Challengers Debate? A Frankenstein coalition to bankrupt and break up Britain.' Mr Clegg, who was campaigning in the north-west, said he asked to take part in the debate, but was 'denied the opportunity' by broadcasters. The Liberal Democrat leader told LBC radio: 'David Cameron, I know, didn't want to participate in it, but I don't see why I should have been denied the opportunity to put the side of the story of what the coalition government has done, even if he didn't want to. 'I find it very odd that the debate tonight doesn't have anybody from one of the parties that have actually been trying to govern our country.' Ms Sturgeon said the debate was 'a fantastic moment of opportunity to deliver the positive change that people are looking for'. 'The SNP will be a positive and constructive voice at Westminster, ready to join others in a progressive alliance to end austerity and protect vital public services like the NHS.' Calling on Mr Miliband to 'change direction', Ms Wood said: 'We're calling for an end to austerity and instead balancing the books through job creation and infrastructure investment. 'It's time weapons of mass destruction were confined to history and we divert funds to improve standards of living and prospects for people.' In the debate, each of the five leaders will be allowed a short opening statement before Dimbleby invites questions from 200 voters. Mr Miliband will be positioned to the far left next to Ms Wood and Mr Farage to the far right next to Ms Sturgeon with Ms Bennett in the middle of the group. The 90-minute programme will cover five subjects. Each question will see one-minute opening statements followed by 10 minutes of free debate.

The PM said the SNP and Labour presented a 'clear and present danger' He said the two parties were 'really on the same side' in the election . Mr Cameron said Ed Miliband can only become PM with the SNP's support . Comes ahead of tonight's live TV debate between the main 'challengers' Mr Cameron and the Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg will not take part .

A Pakistani supermodel has been charged with money laundering offences after she was caught carrying over half a million dollars in Islamabad airport. 21-year-old Ayyan Ali - who has modeled everything from mobile phones to ice cream - was jailed after a staggering amount of money was discovered in her carry-on bag, the Guardian reports. She was charged with attempting to illegally transport more than the legal $10,000 cash limit out of the country on March 14 - and has been in a Rawalpindi prison since. Ali was last seen in public wearing an 'uncharacteristic' black burka outside court as a horde of fellow models gathered nearby. Scroll down for video . Illegal: The staggering amount of cash found on Ali is way more than the $10,000 it is legally allowed to fly out of the country with . Arrested: Pakistani supermodel Ayyan Ali (pictured) has been in jail since March 14, when she caught with over $500,000 in her carry-on bag in Islamabad airport . Found out: Ali was caught with the money in the VIP departure lounge of Benazir Bhutto International Airport (file photo) In recent years she has been one of the most famous models at Pakistan Fashion Week which has been described as a 'three-day extravaganza'. A former model-turned-public relations guru says the country's fashionista circles can talk about nothing else. Frieha Altaf added: 'Some are unkind because they are jealous – everyone b*****s about the beautiful people.' Ever since she was caught in the VIP departure lounge of Benazir Bhutto International Airport, she has been housed in Adiala which is the central prison of the garrison city Rawalpindi. Officials there have denied claims she is receiving special privileges because of her celebrity status with one officer saying private cells are only made available for government officials and the 'highly educated'. She has been denied bail to the outrage of her lawyer who said: 'All agencies have interrogated her and she is no more required for any purpose whatsoever. Sardar Ishaq added: 'She is living with ordinary criminals – ladies involved in murder cases. It will ruin her life.' Many in Pakistan's fashion world think she was manipulated into carrying the money - including the 'grand dame' of the country's blossoming industry. Unfair: Ali's lawyers say she had yet to check in and was going to hand the money over to her brother before flying . Victim? They claim Ali - who has modeled everything from mobile phones to ice cream - is being targeted because of her celebrity status . Anger: 'We respect so-called intellectuals but why don't we respect in this society people who are promoting our culture?' one of her lawyers asked furiously . Maheen Khan said: 'My first reaction was there goes one more girl. A lot of these girls come from very protected families and can be very naive. I think of her as a victim.' Suspicions peaked when she reportedly told a customs court that she was given the money from a businessman with connections in Pakistan's politics. Khurram Latif Khosa - one of the lawyers working on Ali's case - said the money came from a legitimate property sale and the model had no intention of taking it out of the country. He claims she had yet to check into her flight was waiting in the lounge for her brother who was was going to take the cash to Karachi. Khosa says Ali is being unfairly treated by the press and courts because of her position as one of the country's most glamorous and well-known personalities.

High profile: Officials at the Adiala prison where she is being kept have denied claims she is receiving special privileges . He said: 'We respect religious scholars, we respect so-called intellectuals but why don't we respect in this society people who are promoting our culture? 'She is a cultural ambassador projecting an image of Pakistan which is liberal, progressive and can compete with anyone in the world.' PR powerhouse Altaf believes ALi has the strength to recover from the ordeal, saying: 'It takes guts as well as beauty to stand up and be a model in this country. 'You have to have the strength to resist the pressure that comes from society, the social stigma, the questions people always have about you.'

For many it would be a joyous final 90 minutes watching the game they loved before heading for trenches and, in some cases, certain death. Others, already wearing the scars of gruesome battle, flocked to Old Trafford for the FA Cup Final in their military uniforms and bandages. The presence of so many soldiers on the steep terraces led the 1915 showpiece to be christened the Khaki Cup Final. On Friday it will be 100 years since 50,000 gathered at the home of Manchester United for the last football match to be played in England for four, long years. On Friday it will be 100 years since 50,000 gathered at Old Trafford to contest a controversial FA Cup final . Many soldiers already wounded from war or in uniform for training earned the match its Khaki Cup Final tag . The anniversary is being marked in Manchester by the National Football Museum whose exhibition The Greater Game: Football & The First World War tells the story of a controversial match played on the same day thousands of Allied troops were killed in a deadly German chlorine gas attack near Ypres, Belgium. Some claimed the final, won by Sheffield United following a 3-0 victory over Chelsea, should not have taken place at all following the outbreak of war the previous year. And following the final whistle the watching Earl of Derby implored all of those present who had not enlisted to do so, and play 'a sterner game for England'. Far from an open-top bus parade and joyous celebration, the Blades carried their silverware across the Pennines under darkness. Crowds who had gathered in Sheffield to greet their heroes were dispersed by police. No parade was held for the victorious Blades, who carried their trophy across the Pennines under darkness . It was certainly a far cry from what will greet Aston Villa and Arsenal when they meet at Wembley Stadium in May. Head of Creative Programmes at the museum, Andy Pearce, explained that the authorities, desperate for reinforcements for the bloodthirsty battles on the muddy fields of Europe, were not impressed. 'Football fans and players had been targeted for recruitment to the military since the start of the season,' he said. 'By the time of the cup final there was a sense that the game really was up. 'The crowd was largely from the Manchester area, with many already in military uniform, who were either on leave or in training. Many had signed up as part of ‘Pals’ battalions.’ The 11 Sheffield United players who defeated Chelsea in the last game to be played in England for four years . The game was played at Old Trafford as the regular FA Cup final venue at the Crystal Palace had already been requisitioned for military training, and travel restrictions in the capital made an alternative London venue impractical. Collections Officer Dr Alexander Jackson added: 'Anti-football feeling in many sections of the press had reached its peak before the game. Within months many of the crowd, and the players, would be in the trenches.' On Saturday 25 April 2015, members of the Manchester 1914-18 Living History Regiment will be at the National Football Museum to commemorate the final.

The 1915 FA Cup final would be the last game in England for four years . So many soldiers in the terraces saw it be known as the Khaki Cup Final .

Attorneys for two sides agree that in April 1995, a 24-year-old man who had been pointed out by a Southern California college student as her rapist had his truck rear-ended before he was kidnapped, brutally beaten and killed. Where they differ is on the role of now-45-year-old Gianni Van in the murder of Gonzalo Ramirez, whose blindfolded, bloodied body was found on the side of a road. At the opening of his trial Wednesday, prosecutors said Van was enraged after his ex-girlfriend Norma Patricia Esparza told him Ramirez had raped her and he must be held responsible for the attack. She's expected to testify Thursday. Accused: Gianni Van, 45, (left) is accused of the 1995 murder of f Gonzalo Ramirez (right), whose blindfolded, bloodied body was found on the side of an Irvine, California road having suffered 30 blows with a cleaver . Van's lawyer said his client had no knowledge of the plan to harm Ramirez and was threatened that he would suffer a similar fate if he snitched on a friend and friend's employee who carried out the killing. The case has drawn international attention since Esparza — who went on to become a psychology professor and moved to France — was arrested in 2012, provoking an outcry from sexual assault victim advocates who say the case sends a chilling message to rape survivors. During opening statements, Senior Deputy District Attorney Mike Murray showed graphic photos of Ramirez's blindfolded, mangled body lying on the side of the road in a pool of blood. 'Gonzalo Ramirez was targeted, and he was targeted by somebody who was going to make sure he suffered,' Murray said. 'Whether Norma Esparza was sexually assaulted or not, for our purposes today, doesn't matter. What matters is she told the defendant that.' Revenge? Prosecutors say Van killed Ramirez as revenge for raping his on-and-off girlfriend Norma Esparza (pictured). Esparza and Van allegedly entered into a sham marriage before Van's original arrest for the crime. Esparza could not be forced to testify and Van was released. They divorced and Esparza went on to become a psychology professor in France and the mother of a little girl . Arrested: In 2012, Esparza was arrested in connection to the slaying when she re-entered the United States for an academic conference . Prosecutors say Ramirez was taken to the transmission shop of his friend Kody Tran, where he was blindfolded, chained up and beaten. They say he was found having suffered 30 blows from a meat cleaver, reports the Orange County Register. The prosecution alleges Van was aided by Tran and Tran's wife Diane Tran as well as Tran's employee Shannon Gries. His body was found dumped on the side of a road in Irvine. 'It was beyond horrific,' Murray said. 'It was the act of an incredibly angry man...The defendant was out of his mind with anger.' 'He felt that he had been violated,' Murray said of Van. Van is charged with murder during the commission of a kidnapping. If convicted, he could get life in prison without the possibility of parole. Kody Tran died when he killed himself in an unrelated July 2013 standoff with police. His wife Diane has taken a plea deal and was expected to testify against Van. Shannon Gries still faces murder charges. After the killing, Van and Esparza — who had been questioned by police — entered into a sham marriage to avoid prosecution, Murray said. While Van was arrested in 1996, he was released because Esparza could not be forced to testify against her husband, he said. Esparza later divorced Van. Esparza's husband, Jorge Mancillas, had said at a 2013 news conference that his wife had confided in Van about the rape and he took matters into his own hands. Involved?

Kody Tran killed himself during an unrelated standoff with police in 2013. Diane Tran has taken a plea deal and will testify against Van. Shannon Gries awaits trial on murder charges . Van's lawyer, Jeremy Dolnick, said his client knew nothing of the plans to kidnap or kill Ramirez but was shown his severely beaten body strung up by chains at Tran's auto transmission shop and warned he would face the same fate if he ever snitched. 'He didn't ask anyone to kill anyone. He never had homicidal thoughts of revenge,' Dolnick told jurors, adding that Van had confided in Tran about Esparza's rape and that Tran and Gries took matters into their own hands. Esparza, 40, is now the mother of a little girl. She pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in an agreement with prosecutors last year. She is expected to receive a six-year sentence in exchange for testifying at the trials of Van and another defendant. A fourth defendant also pleaded guilty in a deal with prosecutors. Plea: Esparza, here in 2013, claims she was coerced by Van into pointing out her rapist in 1995. She is expected to receive a 6-year sentence after testifying that Van murdered Ramirez .

Gianni Van, now 45, is accused of kidnapping and brutally killing his then girlfriend's accused rapist while in college in Southern California in 1995 . Norma Esparza, who went on to work as a psychology professor in France, was accused in the murder along with three others . Esparza, now the mother of a little girl, was expected to testify against her former boyfriend in a Santa Ana courtroom this month .

It's a charged scene. A woman wearing just a bra and a flared mini skirt sashays across a room, where a smartly dressed man awaits. It could be an outtake from a film noir movie of yesteryear or even a discarded scene from the hit recent film Fifty Shades of Grey. In fact, it's an advert from cosmetics giant Revlon for their latest lipstick. The stylish ad is filmed entirely in black and white, with just a slick of pink visible on the woman's lips. Scroll down for video . Revlon's latest lipstick advert looks suspiciously familiar... It's shot in black and white, the only colour being the pop of pink on the woman's lips .

Truly, L-O-V-E is at the heart of the word REVLON. And O-N (at the end of REVLON) is about being open or "on".' The stylish video features an appropriately jazz-heavy soundtrack. We see the woman - taking on the role of seductress - pushing the man back onto the couch as he laughs, entranced; the couple then dance around. The woman indulges in an impromptu selfie session with an old Polaroid camera and seductively emerges with the prints. She flicks them to the man, who's only too delighted to receive them. It's a collection of photos of her lips, painted in various colours of lippie. Later the woman climbs onto the coffee table in platform heels and almost straddles the man, slowly removing his lie and using it to loosely blindfold him. She takes some Polaroids of herself and seductively emerges from behind a room divider, presenting them . She then whispers something incomprehensible in his ear through lipsticked lips, and leaves. The man removes the blindfold and laughs to find she's drawn a heart in the mirror and left a lipstick kiss within it.

(CNN)Korea's buddae-jjigae -- or "army stew" as it's often called -- dates back to the scarce years of the Korean War when local cooks had to get inventive with U.S. Army rations. While jiigae can refer to any variety of stews, this particular version just happens to feature a variety of canned, precooked meat, most notably SPAM in all its glazed and gelatinous glory. "It's, in fact, a classic example of necessity being the mother of deliciousness," Anthony Bourdain says of the dish during the premiere episode of "Parts Unknown" on Sunday, April 26, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The host of CNN's "Parts Unknown" recently stopped by Anderson Cooper's kitchen to cook up the spicy and funky stew, and talk about his 24 intoxicating hours in the country's capital of Seoul. So, it's probably a good thing budda-jiigae is also a storied hangover cure. Budae-jjigae . (Serves 2-4) Courtesy of Choi Ji-hwang . Ingredients: . 1 12-oz can of Spam, cut into ½-inch slices . 1½ cups tong baechu kimchi, or traditional fermented cabbage (can be found in a well-stocked supermarket or Korean specialty store) 8 oz. sliced Korean rice cakes (can be found in a well-stocked supermarket or Korean specialty store) 1 white onion, thinly sliced . 2 spring onions, thinly sliced . 5 garlic cloves, crushed . 3 hot dogs, thinly sliced . 8 oz. ground pork . 3 tablespoons soy sauce . 2 tablespoons gochujang, or hot pepper paste (can be found in a well-stocked supermarket or Korean specialty store) 3 tablespoons gochukaru, or hot pepper flakes (can be found in a well-stocked supermarket or Korean specialty store) 3 tablespoons cheongju, or a clear rice wine similar to sake . 3 cups anchovy kelp broth (recipe below) 3 tablespoons baked beans . 1½ cups water . 1 package ramen noodles (just the noodles) For the anchovy kelp broth: . 1 dried shiitake mushroom . 4 large dried anchovies, heads and guts removed, wrapped in cheesecloth . 1 5x3" sheet of dried, edible kelp or kombu (can be found in a well-stocked supermarket or Korean specialty store) 4 cups water . ½ teaspoon salt . Cooking instructions: . 1. Place the ingredients for the anchovy broth in a pot and simmer for 20-30 minutes until the flavors are fully infused. Strain and set aside. 2. Place the Spam, kimchi, rice cakes, onions, garlic, hot dogs and ground pork in small separate piles in the bottom of a shallow pot. 3. Add the soy, gochujang, gochukaru and cheongju to the pot and slowly pour the anchovy kelp broth in. Put the baked beans on top and add the water. Place pot over high heat and bring contents to a steady simmer. 4. Cook for 5-10 minutes, then add the ramen noodles. Ladle broth over the noodles to help them break apart. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until noodles are just about cooked through, but definitely still chewy. Serve with steamed rice or enjoy on its own.

Mike Whitehead was standing against Labour's Alan Johnson in the Hull West and Hessle constituency in Yorkshire . Nigel Farage today insisted the Tories had suffered a 'hammer blow' after a former parliamentary candidate defected to Ukip - only for it later to emerge that he had already been sacked from the party last week. Mike Whitehead, who was standing against Labour's Alan Johnson for the Tories in Hull, claimed he was joining Ukip after becoming 'disgusted' at the behaviour of the ruling Conservative group in his area. But the Tories this morning revealed they had already dropped Mr Whitehead as their candidate after he revealed he was planning to stand as an independent against a Tory councillor. A spokesman for the Tories said: 'This man is not our candidate for Hull West and Hessle. He was sacked last week. 'We wrote to him last week to say that his position was untenable and could not stand for us at the General Election. We were already selecting a new candidate for this constituency. This is typical Ukip – cynical, misleading and utterly calculating to try and score political points.' Mr Whitehead, speaking on BBC 5 Live this morning, confirmed he was sacked last week. He said: 'I got an email on Wednesday evening to say that if I didn't stand aside from my intentions to stand in the local elections, they would remove my candidacy in West Hull and Hessle. 'I said I wasn't prepared to do that and so as I wouldn't give them that guarantee they terminated my candidacy in West Hull & Hessle.' Mr Whitehead said he had been increasingly worried about the behaviour of the controlling group of Tories in East Yorkshire since 2011, when seven Conservative councillors from Haltemprice and Howden resigned, citing bullying and intimidation. He added: 'In my opinion, the behaviour of the ruling group has only gotten worse since then.' Mr Whitehead said he could no longer carry on 'in good conscience'. Scroll down for video . Responding to the news, Mr Farage said: 'I am delighted to be welcoming Mike to the party at this exciting time. 'His move to Ukip just underlines that today the real party of opposition to Labour in the north is Ukip. It is another hammer blow to Tory pretensions in the north of England'. Ukip Yorkshire and Humber MEP Mike Hookem said: 'Mike has shown himself to be a man of principle in standing up for what he believes in and I am looking forward to working with him in the near future.' Nigel Farage claimed the scalp was 'another hammer blow' for David Cameron, just a month before the general election . Fellow Ukip MEP Jane Collins said: 'Both Mike and his colleague Mick Burchill, who defected earlier this week will be standing for Ukip in the local elections. 'I think they will both be a great addition to the Ukip team in this area and I am also looking forward to working with them closely.' Hull West and Hessle is safe Labour territory - former home secretary Alan Johnson is defending a 5,700 majority from the 2010 general election when the Conservatives finished third.

Peter Lawwell recently admitted to telling Ronny Deila that it was a matter of getting over the ‘Le Guen hump’ but Celtic’s chief executive might well have cited a couple of names that had met their grim fates closer to home. One thing is for sure: Deila did not need to be an ardent student of the history of Scottish football to appreciate the gravitas of the situation he had become immersed in earlier this season. By late autumn, his side had twice exited Europe while Hamilton Accies had left Celtic Park triumphant. A search party was hardly required to identify his doubters. Celtic manager Ronny Deila admitted that the first six months in charge were mentally tough . Publicly, Deila plastered on the brave face and talked of looking behind the results for progress. Privately, the misgivings about his long-term suitability for the post were beginning to gnaw at him. ‘We played Dundee away (1-1) and we couldn’t play worse than we did,’ Deila recalled. ‘It was unbelievably bad. You know what the players want but you just haven’t got the message across. ‘People are insecure and that’s a hard time for the coach and the players.’ Even for a manager who had been steeped in the nuances of Scottish football, such a period would have been troubling enough. Deila, a Norwegian who had cut his teeth at tiny Stromsgodset, began to look like a man caught in entirely the wrong movie. ‘I have to admit the first six months were tough mentally because you have to really learn a lot of new things and get settled,’ he went on. ‘One thing is the language, the culture is another and then you have to know new opponents, your own team, understand what Celtic is all about and Scottish football. ‘There are so many things to take in and it’s so easy to push too hard and then you don’t get any time for reflection and you just get tired and then you can meet hard games and hard periods. You have nothing to push against.’ The Norwegian was unsure whether he was cut out to be the boss of the Bhoys . Upon his unveiling last summer, Deila was asked if he felt ready to manage a club like Celtic. He could hardly have answered in anything other than the affirmative. However, faced with a dressing room full of strangers, a league and a country he knew little about and the small matter of Champions League qualifiers hurtling towards him, he quickly appreciated the scale of the task he faced. ‘I spoke English at once,’ he recalled. ‘I’d a one-hour speech to them (the players) about how I wanted things. I think that went quite well. ‘But I didn’t know anything about Scottish football. I didn’t know anything about the players. I’d had a full season with my old club and five days later I was ready for Celtic. ‘I didn’t know more than four names in the squad so it takes time to get to know them then bang, you’re in the Champions League and playing games all over Europe, so I was in a situation I had to manage. ‘The players really wanted it. No problem at all. But my way of playing is quite difficult, it’s a lot of things. It’s not straightforward, a lot of relations and rules that we have to get into the players. ‘That takes time to get into. It’s so important to understand if you go back to the big managers they had before, Neil (Lennon) and (Gordon) Strachan and Martin (O’Neill), they also struggled in the beginning. It wasn’t only me. Peter was saying that the whole time - relax, you’re not the first, we’ve been through this before. But it’s harder for a Norwegian guy coming in, who’s unknown, as opposed to someone coming in with a big name.’ He was not alone in those difficult days, however. Realising the need to have individuals familiar with the club’s DNA standing beside him, John Collins was suggested as an assistant. Stevie Woods, the goalkeeping coach under Lennon, was retained while John Kennedy, the former youth coach, was promoted. Collectively, they acted as Deila’s support network. ‘I had unbelievably good back up from Peter, John Collins, John Kennedy and Stevie Woods as well,’ Deila explained. But results have picked up and they lead the Premiership (Kris Commons pictured scoring at St Mirren) ‘I’m a very open person, I say it as it is and I do that with them as well. My staff has been very good and helped me a lot. We’re growing more together, I’ve learned from them, they’ve learned from me and hopefully we know where we want to go. That’s fun and that gives you energy. That’s why I love to be here.’ It’s the small things that are making his life a little easier. In the 10 months he has been in Scotland, language has become less of an issue. ‘The first three weeks, trying to listen to what people were saying for five hours... when I got home, I was totally gone,’ he admitted. ‘I was so tired because I was sitting there all the time thinking “what is he really saying?”. There were so many new things. ‘Broony is one of the hardest. He is so quick. Half the time I just try to laugh at the right moments! But I am getting to understand more. A blip against St Johnstone aside, Celtic have been imperious since the turn of the year . ‘Now I feel more comfortable with the vocabulary, I feel I can express myself better. Before it was always the same words I was using. But I’m looking forward to speaking like every Scot!’ Ahead of Wednesday's game with Partick Thistle, Deila, his players and the supporters are very much now on the same page. A blip against St Johnstone aside, Celtic have been imperious since the turn of the year. From privately wondering if he’d bitten off more than he could chew by coming to Celtic, Deila is now ravenous for more success. ‘It’s fun,’ he said. ‘I want to win more trophies. I feel good. I’ve managed now to enjoy the week better in the past when everything in management was new and stressful. ‘Mentally, I’m in a very good place which is why I’m saying I’m enjoying the moments right now and looking forward to the games. ‘We have built the foundation and now the fun part is starting - to build relationships into the team and get the systems even better and quicker.’

Celtic boss Ronny Deila was unsure he was cut out for the job . Deila struggled for results initially at Celtic Park . But the Bhoys now lead the Premiership and should win the title .

Hillary Clinton's newborn presidential campaign is reeling from new financial links between her family foundation and companies that benefited from her stewardship of the U.S. State Department. On a day when a new Quinnipiac University poll found only 38 per cent of Americans believe she is honest and trustworthy, the leading Democratic Party candidate for president has a mess to clean up. Part of it will involve the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation re-filing some of its annual tax returns to correct errors in how it has reported income from foreign governments. The murky picture also includes tens of millions of dollars Bill Clinton collected in speaking fees from companies that saw their fortunes rise because of U.S. State Department actions while his wife ran the agency. Scroll down for video . Hillary Clinton (seen Wednesday at Georgetown University) was helping approve Russia's purchase of US uranium production as her foundation received millions from executives tied to the deal . Former president Bill Clinton (left) received $500,000 for a Moscow speaking engagement with Renaissance Capital. He also met Vladimir Putin (right), at the time Russia's prime minister, during the visit . In one case a foundation run by the chairman of Uranium One, a nuclear energy company tied to Russia, gave the Clintons' family philanthropy millions while Hillary's State Department gave its stamp of approval to the company's purchase of U.S. uranium. The Russian state atomic agency Rosatom purchased a majority stake in the Vancouver-based company in a years-long process that unfolded from 2009 to 2013 – the same years Mrs. Clinton was America's secretary of state. The executive, Ian Telfer, gave the Clinton Foundation $2.35 million during the same time through his family's Fernwood Foundation. Bill Clinton, the former U.S. president, also received one of his highest speaking fees, $500,000, in June 2010 in Moscow for addressing an investment bank linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin. He earned more than $100 million for his speeches from 2001 to 2013. That number comes from financial disclosure statements filed by Hillary when she was a U.S. senator and, later, secretary of state. Canadian businessman Ian Telfer was only shown as having donated $250,000 to the Clinton Foundation, though tax records reveal that his foundation gave millions when his company was being sold to Russia . An investigation by The New York Times uncovered the connections, based on interviews and public records in Canada, the U.S. and Russia. Chelsea Clinton, the former first daughter whose name is now part of the Clinton Foundation's official moniker, defended the philanthropy on Thursday in New York City. The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation does 'important' work and is 'among the most transparent' of foundations, she claimed during a panel discussion at the Council on Foreign Relations. 'What the Clinton Foundation has said is that we will be even more transparent, even though Transparency International and others have said we're among the most transparent of foundations,' Chelsea, the foundation's vice chair, said. 'I very much believe that that is the right policy. That we'll be even more transparent. That to eliminate any questions while we're in this time, we won't take new government funding, but that the work will continue as it is.' Accepting funds from companies tied to foreign governments presents the appearance of a conflict of interest for the Clinton Foundation, since it's one avenue through which countries could try to influence Hillary and extract sweetheart deals from Washington. The foundation is also under fire for handing the Internal Revenue Service incomplete or incorrect accounting of how much money it received from foreign governments. Chelsea Clinton defended her family philanthropy on Thursday in New York, calling it 'among the most transparent of foundations' Reuters reported on Thursday that the Clinton Foundation and its associated charities will re-file at least five annual tax returns to correct the mistakes. The errors involve under-reporting, over-reporting or misclassifying millions of dollars in donations from foreign governments. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, according to Reuters, the Clinton . Foundation reported to the IRS that it received zero dollars from foreign and U.S. governments. That number stood out because it reported tens of millions in foreign government contributions . in the preceding years. PRESSURE: Likely Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina slammed the Clintons for 'making promises about transparency that they never intended to keep' Foreign governments had continued to give tens of millions . of dollars toward the foundation's work on climate change and . economic development. The foundation listed the donors on its publicly available donor lists, but omitted them in its tax filings. Hillary Clinton is seeing a flurry of new scrutiny applied to her years as secretary of state now that she has announced a 2016 presidential run. Her chief female Republican rival, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, said Thursday that alleged links between the Clinton Foundation, former president Bill Clinton's speaking fees and Mrs. Clinton's leadership at State are disturbing. 'It's the Clinton way: raking in millions from foreign governments behind closed doors while making promises about transparency that they never intended to keep,' Fiorina said in a statement. 'Now they're scrambling to refile their taxes and account for her decisions as Secretary of State.' The Russian uranium story is one piece of a larger puzzle. When Rosatom purchased 51 per cent of Uranium One, which controls a reported one-fifth of the uranium made in the US, the reported $610 million sale needed to be approved by a committee of government agencies, including the State Department. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States approved the majority ownership deal in 2010. Jose Fernandez, a former assistant secretary of state, was the principal State Department representative on the committee, and said that Clinton did not intervene with his work. No one 'has ever produced a shred of evidence supporting the theory that Hillary Clinton ever took action as secretary of state to support the interests of donors to the Clinton Foundation,' according to foundation spokesman Brian Fallon. The Clinton Foundation has become lucrative for one of America's most powerful political families, with Bill Clinton receiving $26 million in speaking fees from donors to the charity. Above, Clinton speaks in January . Approval of Uranium One's sale helped Russian state nuclear agency Rosatom gain control of uranium assets in the US and Kazakhstan (pictured) He said that is was 'utterly baseless' to say that Clinton helped push the deal through while her foundation received a windfall in donations. When Clinton joined the Obama Administration as Secretary of State, she signed an agreement saying that the Clinton Foundation would not receive money from foreign governments and disclose all donors. However, the donations from Uranium One's Telfer reveal that it was still accepting undisclosed donations from private individuals whose businesses and interests aligned with governments such as Russia or businesses. Sixty companies that lobbied the State Department when Hillary Clinton was Secretary donated $26 million to the foundation, at the time run by her husband, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Clinton Foundation only reported that Telfer gave it $250,000, though tax records reviewed by The New York Times show that Telfer's Fernwood Foundation gave $1 million in 2009, $250,000 in 2010, $600,000 in 2011 and $500,000 in 2012. Telfer said that his donations were to support his friend Frank Giustra, who has deep ties to the Clintons and once benefited from Bill's presence on a business trip to Kazakhstan. Up to $5.6 million may have come from other individuals associated with Uranium One. The revelations about possible connections between the Clinton Foundation and Hillary's work in the State Department come as more information has been gathered about how the charity lined the pockets of one of America's most powerful political families. Bill Clinton has made a total of $26 million in speakers fees from donors to the Clinton Foundation, according to a report in The Washington Post. The former president has received more than $100 million in speaking fees since leaving office, though how much of that was from organizations that also donated to his foundation has not previously been known. Some of the biggest donors to the foundation are financial institutions Goldman Sachs, Barclays Capital, Deutsche Bank and Citigroup, which personally paid Bill Clinton $3 million in speaking fees. Then-senator Hillary Clinton listens to a briefing from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, the organization where she would later help approve Russia's purchase of US uranium assets . Bill Clinton's trip to Kazakhstan and its president Nursultan Nazarbayev (pictured) helped paved the way for a major foundation donor Frank Giustra to start a booming uranium business there . Canadian businessman Frank Giustra (right) got a sweetheart uranium mining deal from Nazarbayev in 2008 with Clinton's help, a year after launching a 'sustainable development initiative' with the Clinton Foundation; Giustra pledged $100 million and half his earnings from mining to the foundation . His June 2010 speech to leading Russian officials at an event for Renaissance Capital netted him $500,000. Clinton met with Vladimir Putin, at the time Russia's Prime Minister, during his visit. All of the business dealings linked to the Clinton Foundation took place during the Obama Administration's 'reset' in US relations with Russia. Bill Clinton also engaged in activities in the post-Soviet world not directly tied to his foundation. In 2005 he flew to Kazakhstan with a Canadian uranium mining financier Frank Giustra and met the country's despotic president Nursultan Nazarbayev. Clinton's appearance is seen as helping Giustra secure a deal to start his UrAsia uranium company in Kazakhstan, which would later merge with Uranium One. Giustra would donate $31.3 million to the Clinton Foundation in 2006 and helped start the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative. Russia would ultimately benefit from the deal and Clinton's involvement, and was able to secure more uranium production in its own backyard when took majority control of Uranium One in 2010 and 100 per cent control in 2013. Rosatom said that it would not export any of the uranium out of the United States, though a rancher at the nuclear material facility in Wyoming said that the uranium is often taken for processing in Canada. News of the Clinton Foundation's ties to uranium executives comes after criticism of the Clinton's ties to additional Eastern European money, from the Ukrainian oligarch that became one of their foundation's biggest donors. Victor Pinchuk, the fourth richest man in Ukraine, was found to have done business with Iranian government despite US sanctions against the Middle Eastern country when he sold their oil and gas pipes in 2011 and 2012, according to Newsweek. Many of the recent revelations have come from a book called 'Clinton Cash', written by investigative journalist Peter Schweizer. Supporters of Hillary Clinton's fledgling presidential campaign say that the book is a partisan conservative attack. A spokesman for the campaign said that the Uranium One deal went through the normal approval process and that Schweizer's book is 'twisting previously known facts into absurd conspiracy theories.' The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States also includes representatives from most large arms of government, such as the Justice Department, Department of Commerce and Department of Defense.

(CNN)The commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency will make an emergency visit to the Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp in Syria on Saturday, a spokesman says. Commissioner-General Pierre Krähenbühl will assess the humanitarian situation in the camp and speak with individuals about ways to relieve the suffering of the people who remain there. "The visit is prompted by UNRWA's deepening concern for the safety and protection of 18,000 Palestinians and Syrian civilians, including 3,500 children," agency spokesman Christopher Gunness told CNN's Paula Newton. "Yarmouk remains under the control of armed groups, and civilian life continues to be threatened by the effects of the conflict." Krähenbühl will meet with senior Syrian officials, U.N. and relief agency staff members, and displaced people from the camp itself. The Yarmouk refugee camp, which sits just 6 miles from central Damascus, has been engulfed in fighting between the Syrian government and armed groups since December 2012. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the militant group ISIS and the al Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front control about 90% of the camp. The organization also claims that the Syrian government has dropped barrel bombs on the camp as recently as Sunday in an effort to drive out armed groups. Yarmouk was formed in 1957 to accommodate people displaced by the Arab-Israeli conflict and is the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Syria. The U.N. relief agency estimates that there were 160,000 people in the camp when the conflict began in 2011 between forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and opposition fighters. That number has dropped to about 18,000, according to estimates. Yarmouk has been largely cut off from aid since November 2013. There have been widespread reports of malnutrition and shortages of medical care. "We will not abandon hope," Gunness said. "We will not submit to pessimism, because to abandon hope would be to abandon the people of Yarmouk. ... We cannot abandon the people of Yarmouk, and we will not, hence this mission."

There were scenes of jubilation in the Dutch city of Dordrecht today, as flag-waving locals turned out to welcome King Willem-Alexander and his glamorous wife Maxima today. The visit, which kicked off with a pageant aboard a flotilla of boats on the local canal, was part of Willem-Alexander's 48th birthday celebrations. Koningsdag - or King's Day - is a public holiday in the Netherlands and is traditionally marked with a royal procession either in the capital Amsterdam or in one of the country's major cities. Happy family: The Dutch royals celebrated King Willem-Alexander's birthday in Dordrecht . Warm welcome: The Dutch royal couple were all smiles as they meet well-wishers in the trading city . Today, it was the turn of Dordrecht, a city in the south-west of the country, which was once a major trading port, as well as a military hub. Signs of its martial past were thin on the ground today, however, with the streets filled with a sea of joyful humanity, most of whom cheered and waved as the royals floated past. Taking centre stage was Argentina-born Queen Maxima, who opted for a typically eye-catching ensemble of a raspberry pink coat and hat enlivened with a pair of chunky crystal earrings. Also aboard the royal barge, the Dordtevaar, were the couple's three daughters: Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange, 11, Princess Alexia, nine, and Princess Ariane, eight. Willem-Alexander's brother Prince Constantijn, 45, was also aboard, as was his 48-year-old wife, Princess Laurentien, who opted for a tailored dress in patriotic bright orange. Is that it?

Others used the royal day off to make some extra money, with one enterprising soul setting up a stand that offered selfies with cardboard versions of the Dutch royals for €1 apiece. Koningsdag is a long-standing Dutch tradition that began in 1890 with Queen Wilhelmina who celebrated her birthday on the 31st August. When her daughter Juliana became Queen, the date was moved to the 30th April - a tradition maintained by her daughter Beatrix, even though her real birthday is the 31st January. Since April 2013, when Willem-Alexander took the throne following his mother's abdication, the holiday has taken place his birthday, the 27th April. The celebrations, which kick off the night before with King's Parties, also include vrijmarkts - flea markets - in most towns and mass consumption of a delicious orange pastry called the tompouce.
