History of depression: Former Missouri Auditor Tom Schweich openly contemplated committing suicide for years before he shot himself on February 26, according to new police reports on the Republican gubernatorial candidate's death released Tuesday . Former Missouri Auditor Tom Schweich had talked for years of taking his life - and had become increasingly agitated over politics - but left no suicide note when he fatally shot himself, investigators said Tuesday. Police in the St. Louis suburb of Clayton said they have found nothing to suggest the death of Schweich, who was running as a Republican candidate for governor in 2016, was anything other than a suicide. Newly released police reports show Schweich felt so abandoned by GOP supporters that he told an aide on February 26, the day of his death, that he would have to either 'run as an independent or he needed to kill himself.' Schweich's death and the apparent suicide a month later of his spokesman Spence Jackson have sent shockwaves through Missouri politics. The latest police information came as Governor Jay Nixon on Tuesday announced plans to appoint fellow Democrat and county treasurer Nicole Galloway as Schweich's replacement. Schweich had told an Associated Press reporter by phone minutes before his death he was ready to go public with allegations that the Missouri Republican Party chairman had told donors that Schweich was Jewish. Schweich was Christian but had Jewish ancestry. He perceived the remarks as anti-Semitism. Police investigative reports released Tuesday to The Associated Press in response to an open-records request show that friends and political advisers had discouraged Schweich from publicizing his concerns. Some of them told investigators that Schweich appeared to feel betrayed and alone because they didn't agree with him. Overwhelmed: Schweich shot himself in the head at his home in St Louis (above) just moments after calling an Associated Press reporter to set up an interview to discuss anti-Semitism in his own party . Anti-Semitc? Missouri GOP chairman John Hancock (pictured) had allegedly told donors at a party that Schweich was Jewish. Schweich is a practicing Christian, but has ethnically Jewish roots . Clayton Police Detective Lt. Don Bass said while that was 'part of the puzzle,' Schweich's motive to kill himself still is unclear to investigators. Police found no evidence that Schweich was involved in a scandal or extramarital affairs. And while Schweich had been prescribed two-dozen different drugs for such things as pain relief and Crohn's disease, which causes bowel inflammation, toxicology tests found no illegal drugs in his system. His wife, Kathleen, told investigators that Schweich had never been seen by a psychiatrist. Kathleen Schweich told investigators that her husband had talked about killing himself previously while holding guns, but she didn't think he would actually do so. She told police she thought he acted spontaneously. 'It is her belief that the stress of the disease along with the stress of the campaign caused him to take his life,' Clayton Police Detective Tom Bossch wrote in an investigative report. On the morning of his death, Schweich had talked by phone with his chief of staff, Trish Vincent, and 'was extremely upset over what he considered a lack of support from anyone' about his plans to publicize allegations about the GOP chairman, the report said. Schweich told Vincent he would have to 'run as an independent or he needed to kill himself,' the report said. Vincent got in touch with a family friend, who later was on the phone with Schweich when he made another statement about killing himself, threw down the phone and then shot himself, according to the police reports. In mourning: Schweich's relatives comfort each other outside his funeral on March 3, a week after he shot himself dead . Left behind: Schweich, second from left, makes a few comments after his swearing-in ceremony on January 12 this year in his Capitol office in Jefferson City. At left is his wife, Kathy, and to his right are son, Thomas Jr., and daughter Emilie . Double the tragedy: Just a month after Schweich's death, his former spokesman Spence Jackson (pictured) took his own life . State law requires the governor to find a replacement immediately when vacancies occur in the auditor's office. Nixon originally named his longtime aide, John Watson, to serve as auditor while he searched for a permanent replacement. For Galloway, now the Boone County treasurer, to take over, Watson will have to resign. Nixon said Galloway's swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for the week of April 27. Galloway, 32, made her political debut in 2011, when Nixon appointed her to serve as Boone County treasurer following the death of Treasurer Jan Fugit. Galloway was elected to a four-year term the following year. Galloway will serve the remainder of Schweich's term, which runs until January 2019. She said Tuesday that she plans to run for re-election at that time. Schweich had been sworn in for a second, four-year term in January after facing no Democratic opposition in the November election. Missouri Republican Party Executive Director Jonathan Prouty sent out a scathing statement while Nixon still was touting Galloway's appointment to reporters, saying the pick goes against the will of voters and that she will be 'entirely beholden' to the governor. Galloway denied that. Galloway's appointment will mean Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder will be the only Republican of six statewide elected officials. The Democratic-led executive branch contrasts with an overwhelmingly Republican Legislature. • For confidential help, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or click here . • For confidential support on suicide matters in the UK, call the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90, visit a local Samaritans branch or click here .

A group of technologically-challenged senior citizens are left completely and utterly befuddled by popular messaging app Snapchat after attempting to use it for the first time, in order to send the perfect selfie. In the latest video from the Elders React series on TheFineBros YouTube channel, the clueless men and women are given their first introduction to Snapchat with hilarious - and mixed – results, all of which are caught on camera. And while many of them say they understand the appeal of the social media app, which allows users to share photos that will disappear within 10 seconds, they still can't really wrap their heads around the point of it. 'I'm not into all this,' a woman named Darlene says of that app. 'This is yet another play on this "tweet" thing that's happening.' Scroll down for video . Not a fan: Don (pictured) struggles to take a selfie in the latest Elders React video, in which he and other senior citizens learn about the photo messaging app Snapchat . Before being given some quick instruction about what to do with the app, many of the elders admit that they have no idea what Snapchat is - never mind how to use it. 'I just found out about Yelp,' Darlene says with exacerbation. Meanwhile, another confused woman named Vera calls the app 'Snapchess'. But before the group can start sending pictures, they are given cell phones so they can learn how to snap their own selfies - which proves to be an almost-insurmountable task in itself. 'I don't know how to use an iPhone,' Catherine says with a laugh before they get started. When Vera realizes that the app involves photos, she is disappointed. 'Oh, it's pictures,' she says. 'I hate pictures.' After they take turns learning how to flip the phone's camera around, they start snapping away, but most of them are quick to voice their displeasure with their photos. Feeling nostalgic: Liz can't wrap her head around the idea that the photos on Snapchat disappear. 'Wouldn't you want to save it?' she asks . 'Oh god that is a gross selfie,' Yehuda, father of the Fine brothers, the creators of the channel, exclaims, while Catherine asks: 'Can I have a better picture? That is an awful picture.' They soon move on to captioning their own photos, which presents its own set of issues, as the seniors struggle with typing their messages. 'I just want to say: "It's Me,"' Don explains with frustration. 'It looks like it says: "Light Me."' But almost all of them enjoy the feature that allows them to color on their photos. 'I always wanted to know what I looked like with a mustache on,' Liz says with delight as she adds purple facial hair to her selfie. After they upload their photos to the app, Alex asks: 'Who would care?' Perfect users: Rhoda notes that politicians should get on the app because of all of their 'sexting' and 'nude pictures' What fun: Rhoda can be seeing drawing a purple bow on her selfie. Most of the elders enjoy using this Snapchat feature . Meanwhile, Johnny has no idea that Snapchat is reportedly worth $19 billion. 'This is definitely going to catch on with kids,' he says of the technology. The revelation that Snapchat is considered disposable social media because their photos will soon disappear soon leaves the group divided. 'Why would you do that?' Liz asks. 'Wouldn't you want to save it for the memory?' 'Oh, that is so stupid,' Darlene adds, however Catherine notes that the feature is 'pretty neat'. And Rhoda quickly thinks of a group of people who would benefit from this app. 'All that sexting and texting and nude pictures and all that, politicians should get onto this thing,' she notes. No thank you: Darline (pictured) is completely unimpressed with Snapchat, calling it 'stupid' Parental supervision: Alex (pictured) says she would never let her daughter have a cell phone during sleepovers at her house because of this app . Although Don is not convinced that the pictures will completely disappear, explaining: 'Nothing is gone forever - not on this stuff.' Darlene remains unimpressed after she learns that there are ways for users to save the pictures against the sender's wishes. 'Well, then what the heck are we talking about,' she says with frustration. The elders then go on to discuss the controversy surrounding teens who are using the app to send inappropriate pictures. 'Don't send the picture in the first place if it's anything that is going to [include] your little naked a**,' Rhoda advises. And Alex says she would refuse to allow her daughter to have cell phones during sleepovers at her house. 'No pictures of girls in their underwear are going to leave this house,' she says.

The new video is a part of the Elders React series on TheFineBros YouTube channel . Snapchat was most commonly used as a means of sending suggestive selfies and messages initially, however is now used more generally .

Negotiations to make a fight between Paul Smith and Andre Ward are set to be concluded this week, with the Liverpool super-middleweight set to meet one of boxing's biggest talents on June 20. Sportsmail understands discussions are virtually finalised for the summer showdown, with a formal announcement of the fight expected imminently. Elements of the deal are still being rubber-stamped and Ward’s WBA world title is unlikely to be on the line. However, the fight, which will be staged in Oakland, California, will run over the 12-round distance. Liverpool boxer Paul Smith (left) is in line to take on Andre Ward on June 20 . Ward (right) has won all of his 24 bouts but has not fought since defeating Edwin Rodriguez in November . It is a huge opportunity for Smith but an even bigger task against a fighter who outclassed Carl Froch in 2011. Smith, 32, has lost back-to-back world title challenges in Germany against Arthur Abraham, albeit in controversial circumstances in the first of those fights when a wide decision was handed to Abraham from a close bout. Smith has lost his last two world title challenges to Arthur Abraham (left) of Germany . Ward defeated Carl Froch in 2011 and could be set for a rematch if he beats Smith . Smith's hope this time round will be that Ward, usually so slick and brilliantly accurate, has diminished through inactivity. The 31-year-old, an Olympic champion and winner of all 27 of his professional fights, has not fought since November 2013. That period of absence will add a fascinating dimension to a fight that will catch the attention of Froch, who would postpone retirement for a home rematch against Ward.

Police have released an image of a bearded young man in relation to a suspected arson attack on a Melbourne church which was once presided over by a paedophile priest. Detectives have issued a photo of a brown haired, Caucasian male wearing a black top who they want to speak to after a fire was started at St Mary's Catholic Church in Dandenong, at 2.15am on April 1. Victoria Police said: 'Detectives have released a FACE image of a man that may be able to assist with their enquiries.' Dandenong Crime Investigation Unit detectives are yet to determine the exact cause of the fire which is being treated as suspicious. The Dandenong fire was one of a string of suspected arson attacks on three Melbourne Catholic churches with links to paedophile priests. The church is said to be the site of child sex attacks perpetrated by now-deceased convicted paedophile Father Kevin O'Donnell. Police have released an image of a bearded young man they want to speak to in relation to a suspected arson attack on a Catholic church in Melbourne . Emergency services were called to a fire at St Mary's Catholic Church in Dandenong, at 2am on Wednesday, and police are treating the blaze as suspicious . Police are investigating whether the blaze is connected to two separate suspicious blazes that were lit two days before at St James Catholic Church in Brighton and St Mary's Catholic Church in St Kilda, where paedophile priest Ronald Pickering served as minister. St Mary's Catholic Church in Dandenong is said to be the site of child sex attacks perpetrated by now-deceased Father Kevin O'Donnell . On April 1, it took firefighters 90 minutes to extinguish blazes at the altar and storage room of St Mary's Catholic Church on Foster Street in Dandenong. Father O'Donnell - who was reportedly known by police as the 'two-a-day man' - was jailed for 15 months in 1995 after he admitted to abusing 10 boys and two girls. He is believed to have committed hundreds of sexual assaults against young girls and boys over the 50 years that he worked in Victorian Catholic churches, before he retired in 1992. He died in 1997. At the Dandenong church in 1958 Father O'Donnell allegedly molested a 15-year-old boy in the presbytery and went on to sexually abuse his brother, sister and friends, The Age reported. He presided over the church from 1958 to 1986, before moving onto Oakleigh. On March 30, heritage-listed St James Catholic Church in Brighton was mostly destroyed by fire and St Mary's Catholic Church in St Kilda was found with a small amount fire damage to a door. Bishop Peter Elliott told 3AW Catholic churches would be increasing their security, and said he did not believe the fires were lit by sex abuse victims. Australian actress Rachel Griffiths said she was 'quite elated' when she heard the 124-year-old James Catholic church had been destroyed by fire. Firefighters extinguished blazes at the altar and storage room of St Mary's Catholic Church on Foster Street . The Six Feet Under star revealed that like many of the church's former parishioners she found it hard to even 'drive past' St James church in Brighton, in Melbourne's south-east. Firefighters desperately tried to battle a fierce blaze that took hold of the building at around 6.30am on Monday morning but it was left gutted. Ms Griffiths told 774 ABC Melbourne the church was plagued by 'tragedy and complicated feelings' and described it as being known locally as 'the haunted house on the hill'. 'We've all attended many funerals of boys that we now know were abused by [Father Ronald] Pickering ... and other perpetrators in the parish - at the actual church that it occurred in,' she said. 'It's been hard for priests to really cleanse this parish, it's been very difficult to rebuild a community and we pretty much all scattered after the revelations came out and found other parishes.' 80 firefighters attended the scene to battle the blaze at St James church in Brighton, in Melbourne's south-east . Australian actress Rachel Griffiths is happy that her former Melbourne church has burned down because of its past links to a paedophile priest . Ms Griffiths revealed she and other local Catholics had avoided being married in the church because of the sick crimes that historically took place inside it. Her mother stopped taking her to the church after her father left them because Pickering wouldn't have a 'divorced woman in the church'. 'I think that's probably one thing that saved our family that so many of my friends' brothers got involved with,' she said. Ronald Pickering abused boys between 1960 and 1980 while working as a priest in Melbourne . 'We stopped going because he stopped my mother at the door.' At least five people killed themselves after being sexually abused by paedophile priest Ronald Pickering between 1960 and 1980, according to research carried out in 2012. The former priest was named by the Catholic Church in 2013 as being guilty of sexually abusing children. However, after emigrating to Britain in the 1990s he was never brought to justice before he died. One victim, Raymond D'Brass, told a 2013 Victorian government inquiry that Pickering groomed him with cigarettes, money and alcohol. He was abused between the age of 9 and 13 while acting as a choir and altar boy at the church. In his statement at the parliamentary inquiry on March 4, 2013, Mr D'Brass said: 'Over this four-year period I am aware that two other boys were also sexually abused by Father Ronald Pickering. 'I was regularly fondled and petted by Pickering, as were other boys. This occurred within the change rooms of the church and within the presbytery. I began smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol with Pickering from the age of nine and on many occasions passed out from consuming the alcohol, which left me vulnerable to such abuse.' Ms Griffiths revealed she and other local Catholics had avoided being married in the church . Photos taken by eyewitnesses show the roof collapsed and plumes of smoke billowing into the sky . He recalled: 'I now have several vivid memories of the sexual abuses, as well as some vague flashes due to the state of intoxication. In 1983, I stopped going to the presbytery after Pickering verbally abused me in front of the other boys for choosing not to attend the upcoming Sunday service and instead going to the cricket with my father. 'He told me that I was not welcome back and that I would burn in hell. Between 1983 and 1987, the two other boys who I know were abused continued to visit the presbytery and receive money, alcohol and cigarettes from Pickering, but I chose not to because I was terrified of him. I have no doubt that they were continuing to be abused by Pickering. 'One night after one of the boys paid a visit to Pickering, he attempted suicide. He was unsuccessful on this attempt, but he would go on to successfully commit suicide a short time later.' Many of the church's former parishioners found it hard to even 'drive past' St James church in Brighton after revelations of child abuse came out . The church is described as a 'a fine complex of Roman Catholic church' on its heritage-listed page . The cause of the fire has not yet been established. 'MFB will determine the cause of the fire and then if it's suspicious it will be passed on to police,' a Victoria Police spokesperson said. More than 80 firefighters and 20 trucks were at the scene where the ancient bluestone church was fully alight on Monday morning. A caller to radio show 3AW, named Andrew, said: 'You can hear that in the background, the roof is actually collapsing now.' 20 fire trucks were at the scene of the fire at the ancient bluestone church . Residents watching the fire were cleared from the area because of asbestos. And a 10 metre exclusion zone was put in place around the building over fears of structural collapse. MFB spokesperson David Jarwood told the ABC the smoke could be seen from 50 kilometres away. 'It's about 50 by 40 metres apparently the blaze is, the structure, so I'm not surprised people can see a plume from Mornington,' he said. Smoke from the St James Church fire could be seen across Melbourne, including the West Gate Bridge. An advice notice put out by the MFB said: 'Emergency services are attending to building fire in North Rd Brighton. The area of North Rd and St James Brighton is currently closed and people are advised to avoid the area.' Smoke from the St James Church fire can be seen across Melbourne, including the West Gate Bridge . The church was built in 1891 and the Parish of Saint James was established a year later. In 1990 a bell tower and bells were installed at a cost of $500,000. The Victorian Heritage Database website said the church 'stands on a site which has great importance in the early history of Catholicism in Victoria as the place where the mission to Brighton was established circa 1854'. It is described as 'a fine complex of Roman Catholic church, rectory and church close, mostly dating from the last century but with additions made in 1908 and in the 1920s'. It has an 'unusually elaborate 1934 decoration of the chancel with Roman mosaic flooring, opus sectile tiling and marble altars and rails. The pipe organ by Alfred Fuller of Kew, placed centrally in the rear gallery, is a rare example of his work'. Investigators are keen to speak to anyone that may have seen any suspicious activity in the area. Police are urging anyone with information about the fire to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppersvic.com.au to make a confidential report.

Masters champion Jordan Spieth is back to work this week at the RBC Heritage Classic after two days celebrating his victory at Augusta National and being showered with attention. Spieth arrived at Sea Pines Resort late Tuesday night after a media whirlwind in New York since tying Tiger Woods' Masters record of 18-under 270 to capture the green jacket. The 21-year-old said it was a dizzying stretch with 26 appearances and interviews in 25 hours. 'It was a little crazy in New York having paparazzi know where we were going to eat dinner even though we never told anybody,' Spieth said Wednesday. Spieth doesn't believe the success will change him. In fact, he said he upheld his commitment to the RBC Heritage in part to chase down Rory McIlroy for world No. 1. 'I wouldn't come to a tournament just to come to a tournament, especially with that goal still in mind,' said Spieth, who moved to No. 2 in the world rankings with the Masters' win. Jordan Spieth returns to golf just days after winning the Masters and will play in the RBC Heritage Classic . Spieth has had two victories and two runner-up finishes in his past four events. He would have liked to have had his normal pre-tournament preparations at Harbour Town Golf Links. Instead, he'll go into his first-round tee time Thursday not having played a hole of practice on the tricky, Pete Dye-designed layout. 'I'm sure Jordan's wiped,' said Kevin Streelman, the Par-3 contest winner at Augusta National last week who finished tied for 12th behind Spieth. 'But he's 21 years old, he can handle it.' Spieth has had success here the previous two years, finishing ninth in 2013 and 12th last year. The RBC Heritage gave him an invite two years ago when Spieth was a rising, yet largely unknown 19 -year-old trying to make his way on tour. The top-10 finish, Spieth said, helped his confidence and status on the PGA Tour. 'This tournament helped with job security,' Spieth said. 'So it's a tournament that's close to me and I love it here.' The 21-year-old was in formidable form at Augusta and equaled Tiger Woods' tournament birdie record . Most Masters champions - and many of the game's best players - take the next week off after a pressure-packed week at Augusta National. Spieth heads a group of five ranked in the top 20 of the world (No. 10 Jim Furyk, No. 14 Patrick Reed, No. 17 Matt Kuchar and No. 19 Billy Horschel are the others) to compete this week. Streelman enjoys playing right after a major, knowing his game is honed in and peaking after a Grand Slam event. 'Your game is really primed and amped up,' he said. 'I'm very prepared.' Kuchar is the tournament's defending champion, holing out from a green-side bunker on the 72nd hole to defeat Luke Donald by a stroke. Spieth's success has him atop the FedEx Cup standings, the youngest player ever to lead that category. Spieth celebrates after putting the winning hole and winning the Masters at such a young age . There have only been two Masters winners the past 15 years to follow up their victories by playing Harbour Town. Vijay Singh tied for third here in 2000 a week after winning the Masters while Zach Johnson was sixth in 2007. Only Bernhard Langer is 1985 followed a Masters victory with a triumph a week later at the RBC Heritage. Spieth believes he'll be the same driven, focused competitor he's always been after winning the major he dreamed of as a child. That might be difficult after this week's spotlight. Spieth got congratulatory Tweets from stars like Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant and about 200 texts and emails since the victory. 'Given some time, that will subside a little bit,' he said. What won't ease up, Spieth said, is his desire to achieve the very best in golf, a quest that continues at Harbour Town. 'I was very much looking forward to getting back here, getting on solid ground and taking a deep breath,' Spieth said. 'I'm really looking forward to this week.'

A Florida postal carrier steered his small gyrocopter through protected Washington airspace for 30 miles to the U.S. Capitol, tracked by the nation's top security agencies, which feared harming tourists on the National Mall if they tried to shoot him down, senior lawmakers said Wednesday. Doug Hughes, 61, is 'lucky to be alive' and 'should have been blown out of the air,' Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House Oversight committee, told reporters just days after the incident that exposed a gap in the government's efforts to ensure the security of the White House, Capitol and other critical buildings in Washington. Senior officials from the Secret Service and Capitol Police briefed top House members behind closed doors. Scroll down for video . Press conference: Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, left, and ranking member Rep. Elijah Cummins, D-Md., speak with reporters on Wednesday . Pilot: The man who piloted the gyrocopter and landed on the West Lawn, 61-year-old Doug Hughes, is 'lucky to be alive' and 'should have been blown out of the air,' Chaffetz said . Campaign: Hughes' stunt was aimed at drawing attention to campaign finance reform . Chaffetz said security tracked Hughes as he approached the Capitol last week after taking off from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. A 'judgment call' was made not to shoot Hughes down, Chaffetz said. Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said officials were concerned about injuring people on the ground if an attempt was made to shoot down Hughes. Chaffetz said a combination of 'lack of communication and some human error' by Capitol Police and other officials allowed Hughes to steer his tiny aircraft within a few hundred feet of the Capitol before landing on the West Lawn. Chaffetz said he was deeply concerned at 'a lack of coordination and communication' among law enforcement agencies charged with what he called 'a no-fail mission' to protect the Capitol and other important sites in Washington, including the White House. Cummings called the incident a 'wake-up call' to all law enforcement agencies involved. Capitol Police, the Secret Service and other agencies need 'to look very carefully at what happened here, dissect it, figure it out and use this to make things better,' Cummings said. Cummings and Chaffetz said they were outraged that members of Congress were not alerted to the potential security threat even as parts of the Capitol complex were placed under lockdown. 'That's inexcusable,' Chaffetz said. Chaffetz and Cummings said they will hold a hearing on the incident next week with representatives of six agencies: the Secret Service, Capitol Police, Congress' Sergeant at Arms, the Federal Aviation Administration, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and the U.S. Park Police. Three of the agencies - the FAA, NORAD and the park police - were no-shows at Wednesday's briefing, irking lawmakers. Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said officials were concerned about injuring people on the ground if an attempt was made to shoot down Hughes . Security: Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said last week that Hughes 'literally flew under the radar' to the Capitol lawn, but added that it's too soon to say whether security changes are needed . Issues: Hughes was charged with two federal crimes, violating restricted airspace and operating an unregistered aircraft. The crimes carry penalties of up to four years in prison and fines . 'They've got a lot of explaining to do' about why they did not attend the briefing, Chaffetz said. Lawmakers were told during the briefing that 'incursions' into the restricted air space around Washington occur nearly every day and are usually 'dealt with in a smooth and professional manner,' Chaffetz said, in stark contrast to the gyrocopter incident. Lawmakers raised alarms about security after Hughes' stunt, which was aimed at drawing attention to campaign finance reform. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said last week that Hughes 'literally flew under the radar' to the Capitol lawn, but added that it's too soon to say whether security changes are needed. 'We are a democracy. We don't have fences around our airspace, so we've got to find the right balance between living in a free and open society, and security and the protection of federal buildings,' Johnson said. Chaffetz said there is a 'heightened awareness' about the risks of small aircraft in the wake of the gyrocopter stunt. Anyone who enters restricted airspace now will have 'a major problem,' Cummings said. Hughes was charged with two federal crimes, violating restricted airspace and operating an unregistered aircraft. The crimes carry penalties of up to four years in prison and fines. Hughes' next court appearance is May 8.

Rarely-seen photos of Captain Robert Scott’s expedition to the South Pole and an American Civil War flag are among the items expected to fetch tens of thousands of pounds at a unique auction in London later this month. More than 250 fascinating and eclectic objects – with estimated values of £500 to £30,000 – will go under the hammer in the one-off, travel-themed auction at Christie’s South Kensington. Filled with historic artefacts, pricey art and souvenirs acquired during the original owners’ travels, the Around the World auction is drawing interest from collectors and those with wanderlust. This 1838 map (estimated value £7,000 to £10,000) was engraved by John Dower and includes a list of the era’s major discoveries . The one-off, travel-themed auction includes a 34-star US flag, with an estimated value of £10,000 to £15,000, from the Civil War era . One of the highly-anticipated lots contains 11 restored photos of Captain Robert Scott's doomed expedition to the South Pole . One of the highlights of the collection – consignors – is 11 professionally restored photos of Captain Scott’s fateful British Antarctic Expedition. Estimated at £20,000 to £30,000, the copies were created using the surviving gelatine positives and paper negatives taken by the captain himself before he and the rest of his party died during their return journey after reaching the South Pole in January 1912. The photos document the building of the expedition’s base hut, the frigid conditions on Ross Island and their long march to the southernmost point on Earth. Christie’s, the world’s largest auction house, said very few copies were published at the time and many remained unseen and unknown until recently. A photo of a Geisha exiting a Kyoto metro station, taken by Steve McCurry, has an estimated value £3,000 to £5,000 . A saddle made by the Edward H Bohlin Company (left) and an incense burner in the shape of Venezuelan military leader Simon Bolivar . A Indo-Portuguese marquetry chest (valued at £20,000 to £30,000) from the late 17th to early 18th century is one of the rare items available . Another unique item that is expected to fetch a similar price is a silver-mounted and engraved leather parade saddle manufactured by the Hollywood-based Edward H Bohlin Company, which served as ‘the saddle-maker to the stars’. Hand-crafted around 1930, the saddle bears the company’s stamp and all the hallmarks of its attention to detail. Edward Bohlin, who was born in Sweden, created saddles, outfits and accessories for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, and US presidents. A model of a British Airways Concorde (valued at £6,000 to £9,000) is one of more than 250 items that will go under the hammer . The travel-themed collection includes a Maori hei tiki pendant from New Zealand (estimated value: £8,000 to £12,000) These Italian marble busts of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, circa 1900-1910, have an estimated value of £6,000 to £8,000 . Another item valued at £20,000 to £30,000 is an elaborate Indo-Portuguese marquetry chest from the late 17th to early 18th century. Christie’s said: ‘The chest displays the blend of East and West seen in Colonial furniture and is typical of work from the former Portuguese colony of Goa. ‘The pattern of intersecting circles that covers the surface of this chest is almost identical to a Contador, or cabinet on stand, in the Victoria and Albert Museum.’ Other items that will go under the hammer on 28 April include a Maori hei tiki pendant from New Zealand (estimated value: £8,000 to £12,000), a rare 34-star US flag from the Civil War era (£10,000 to £15,000), a model of a British Airways Concorde (£6,000 to £9,000), an incense burner in the shape of Venezuelan military leader Simon Bolivar (£15,000 to £25,000), and a silver-mounted section of elephant tusk (£1,200 to £1,800). Stephen O’Connell, co-head of sale, said: 'Around The World, our latest themed auction, is a carefully curated and eclectic sale of works of art, objects, furniture, silver and porcelain and 20th and 21st century design from six continents. 'Individually, the lots on offer are highly unique to their place of origin, and in many cases they draw the eye and mind to a particular geographical place and period in history. 'It’s an exciting sale to be a part of and, for decorators and collectors alike, it is a wonderful opportunity to acquire interesting and unusual works of art from around the globe.'

(CNN)When ISIS overran their villages near Mosul in August 2014, a small group of Assyrians, a Middle Eastern minority with a history reaching back more than 4,000 years, picked up weapons and formed their own militia: Dwekh Nawsha -- "The Sacrificers." Assyrians belong to the rapidly dwindling Christian population of Iraq -- recent estimates from CAPNI, the largest Christian relief organization in northern Iraq put the number as low as 300,000 compared with 1.5 million 20 years ago -- and many among them see the fight with ISIS as a final battle for survival against the Islamists. "'Ah, Assyrians -- I've read about them in the Bible,' is what many people say," says Marcus Naissan, a 25-year-old electrical technician and member of Dwekh Nawsha. "But we are not just history, we are still alive, we are still here." The exodus of Christians from Iraq started prior to ISIS -- and the civil war in the mid-2000s took an especially heavy toll. Today, most Iraqi Christians live in Kurdish areas in the north, which have been a relative haven of stability. And so far, the Kurds have been taking heavy losses to defend Christian and Yezidi minorities against ISIS. Every night, the fighters hear the rumbling sound of coalition airplanes in the sky over Baqufa where they have their safe house just a few miles from the frontline. Here they relax, patrol the empty streets of the village and try to hinder ISIS suicide commandos from entering the near city of Dohuk where UNHCR says almost 100,000 refugees -- many of them Christians -- have found a temporary place to stay. So far, the militia has only assembled and trained 40 fighters. But Rama Baito, manager of the digital media presence of the group, shows me his direct messages on Facebook -- dozens of ex-soldiers, diaspora Assyrians or Christian activists from all over the world contact him and offer monetary support or their own presence on the frontline. "We have 200 people waiting right now, because we simply do not have enough weapons and training capacities," Baito says. Since they are still small and have no heavy weaponry, the Dwekh Nawsha fighters say they coordinate closely with local Kurdish Peshmerga commanders and share the same foxholes on the frontline. The fighters are a very mixed bunch. A young baker, carrying his large military dagger in an elegant sheath, says he brought his father when he enlisted. "But now, we see each other only rarely because he is in another unit of our group," he says. "When I go on vacation, he goes to the field and the other way around. So every time we swap units, I wait for him, give him a quick hug and then leave back home." Right now, ISIS is focused on other fronts -- the yellow fields of the Niniveh plains are quite safe for the mostly young fighters. But none of them thinks victory over ISIS will be quick, nor that fighting will end immediately afterward. All they can do now is patrol the deserted alleys of Baqufa, making sure the wild dogs don't take over the town and hope one day their relatives will be able to return.

Assyrians are an ancient Middle Eastern minority -- they are part of the rapidly dwindling Christian population of Iraq . After ISIS overran their villages, some Assyrians formed a militia to fight for survival against the terror group .

A teenager suffering a rare genetic condition that gave her the body of a 100-year-old has died aged 17. Hayley Okines became well-known three years ago when she was part of a documentary about her premature ageing condition. She suffered from the rare disease progeria which ages the body at eight times the normal rate. Progeria takes its name from the Greek word 'proeros', meaning prematurely old. It involves a mutant protein called progerin that accelerates physical ageing. There are around 74 known cases of the disease around the world and only four in the UK. Scroll down for video . Hayley Okines, who suffered a rare genetic condition that gave her the body of a 100-year-old, has died aged 17 . A 10 year old progeria child will have the appearance of an octogenarian with symptoms including baldness, arthritis and heart problems, but the mind of a 10 year old. Progeria patients normally die from heart attacks or strokes at an average age of 13. But Hayley, from Bexhill, East Sussex, defied the odds to live four more years and even published an autobiography about living with the disease. Last night her mother Kerry posted on Facebook: 'My baby girl has gone somewhere better. She took her last breath in my arms at 9.39pm x.' Today, the Progeria Research Foundation posted on its Facebook page: 'The entire Progeria family mourns together with many as we say goodbye to Hayley Okines, our smart, beautiful and spirited English rose, who passed away today at age 17. 'Gone from our sight, but never our memories, gone from our touch but never our hearts. We will miss you.' Hayley and her family had fundraised for her medical treatment and to raise public understanding of the condition. Her story was catapulted into the limelight after she starred in documentaries called The Girl who is Older than Her Mother and World's Oldest Teenager: Extraordinary People. Her autobiography, called Old Before my Time, detailed pop-star crushes and a dislike of school. But it was also a moving insight into how a child copes with a disease which resulted in Hayley having the body of a 105-year-old. In an interview with The Sunday People in 2013, her mother described the hell of living with the disease. 'The most difficult part is Hayley has the mind of a normal 13-year-old girl locked in an old person's body,' she said.

Hayley suffered from the rare disease progeria which ages the body at eight times the normal rate . Progeria patients normally die from heart attacks or strokes at an average age of 13. But Hayley defied the odds to live four more years . Despite pioneering drug treatment in the US that gave her a new lease of life, Hayley was unable to conquer the disease . 'Someone else has to get her a drink as she's too small to reach taps by herself. 'And buying fashionable clothes is tough because she still wears clothes for a five-year-old. Hayley, who turned 17 on December 3, left school last summer. However, despite pioneering drug treatment in the US that gave her a new lease of life, she was unable to conquer the disease. In recent weeks her health had deteriorated and she contracted pneumonia. After being discharged yesterday she died at home last night. Hayley's parents have previously described the heartache her condition had caused. Her mother said: '[When she was born] she had fine blonde hair, blue eyes and her father and I were besotted with her. 'At 10 months she walked for the first time – we were so proud. 'The only concern was she was so petite and didn't appear to be growing. 'But as I'm only 5ft 4ins I tried to tell myself she simply took after me.' At 13 months, Hayley still wore clothes for a three-month-old, so her mother took her to their GP. Tests revealed she had a rare gene mutation called Hutchinson-Gilford progeria. In an interview, Hayley's mother described the hell of living with the disease. 'The most difficult part is Hayley has the mind of a normal 13-year-old girl locked in an old person's body,' she said . In her short life, Hayley went swimming with dolphins, travelled all over the world, met Prince Charles, Kylie Minogue and Justin Bieber and starred in several TV documentaries . Hayley even published an autobiography about living with the disease, called Old Before My Time . Her mother said: 'We looked it up on the internet and were shocked. We found photos of children who looked like little elderly people. 'They had bald heads and one girl was wearing a wig which made her look so odd it frightened us. 'It said sufferers wouldn't reach puberty and would eventually die from age-related disorders, usually before their teens.' Next came the devastating news that Hayley would only live until the age of 13. Determined to make the most of the time she had, the family embarked on giving Hayley amazing memories. Members of the local community raised thousands of pounds to pay for her to go to Disneyland in California. In her short life, Hayley went swimming with dolphins, travelled all over the world, met Prince Charles, Kylie Minogue and Justin Bieber and starred in several TV documentaries. Despite her terrible prognosis, the teenager remained upbeat. 'In many ways I feel I've been lucky. Because of this I've met more people and done more than many do in a lifetime,' she said.

Walter Scott and his passenger were looking forward to having a cookout when he was pulled over and shot dead by a South Carolina police officer, it has emerged. Scott, 50, and Pierre Fulton, his friend of several years, had met for breakfast on April 4 before Scott drove him to a church so Fulton could collect a bag of vegetables. He then took Fulton home to drop off the bag there before they both headed over to Scott's house. 'They were heading to Walter Scott's house to eventually have a cookout that afternoon,' said Fulton's attorney, Mark Peper. But as they returned home, their car was pulled over for a broken tail light in North Charleston. Scroll down for video . Heartbroken: Pierre Fulton is 'torn up' about the death of his friend, Walter Scott, on April 4, his attorney has said. The two men were heading to Scott's home on April 4 for a cookout when Scott was killed by a cop . Killed: Scott, 50, ran from his car when he was pulled over by North Charleston officer Michael Slager, right, for a broken tail light. As he ran away, Slager shot the father-of-four multiple times, killing him . Scott jumped out of the car fled the scene - and was shot multiple times in the back by officer Michael Slager in a horrifying incident captured on a passerby's cell phone camera. Peper said that his client did not know why Scott ran from the car but that he said there was no confrontation. Following the stop 'there was never a conversation between Pierre and Walter regarding the reason for the stop, what his intentions were - anything along those lines,' Peper said. Scott was behind $18,000 in his child support payments and family members have said he may have run because he was worried about going to jail. Scott, who is black, ran away and a video showed Slager, who is white, firing eight shots at Scott. Fleeing: A dash cam video still provided by the North Charleston Police Department shows Scott leaving his car after a traffic stop on April 4. His passenger said he does not know why Scott fled . Gunned down: A passerby captured this video of Slager shooting Scott dead as he tried to flee the scene . Fulton said he heard the crackle of a Taser and shots fired. From where Scott's car was parked, his client could see Slager chase after Scott but did not see him get shot, Peper said. 'As they turned the corner, he wasn't able to see anything that occurred,' he said. And while his client heard the Taser followed by the gunshots, 'he doesn't recall the timing or how many seconds between it. All that's a bit foggy', he said. Peper said his client has also given a statement to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. Family members said earlier that two were headed to an auto parts store at the time of the shooting. Peper said they may have had errands planned but his client said they were eventually heading to Scott's house. He said his client has asked for privacy so he can deal with the death of his friend.

Sadness: His heartbroken mother, Judy, is pictured leaving her son's funeral in Charleston last weekend . Fight: Activist Cornel West (center) joins protesters against police violence in Manhattan on April 14 . 'He is torn up. He is a mess,' Peper added to ABC News. 'He hasn't been able to talk to anybody about this.' The father-of-four's death sparked a nationwide debate about police brutality and bias against black people after the witness' video contradicted the police account of the event. Slager, 33, had said that he felt 'threatened' by Scott during a confrontation over his Taser, but the footage revealed the civilian running away before he was shot. Scott was laid to rest last weekend. His casket was draped in an American flag and accompanied by his distraught mother, Judy. Slager has been later charged with murder and fired from the police department. He has yet to enter a plea.

A former Fortune 500 executive from New Hampshire who caused a highway crash that killed a Vermont couple and their unborn baby was accused of being 'heartless' in court on Wednesday by angry family members. Prosecutors have said Robert Dellinger told investigators he was trying to kill himself in December 2013 when he drove his pickup truck across an Interstate 89 median and smashed into an SUV carrying 24-year-old Amanda Murphy, who was 8 months pregnant, and her fiance, 29-year-old Jason Timmons. Relatives of Murphy and Timmons tore into Dellinger during the first of the two-day sentencing hearing. Amanda Murphy's mother, Tammy Langlois, and Murphy's sister, Ashley Murphy, cry after speaking about the moment they learned of the accident that killed Murphy, her unborn child, and her fiancee, Jason Timmons, during Robert Dellinger's sentencing on Wednesday . Defense attorney Lucy Karl comforts Robert Dellinger after testimony by the families of Amanda Murphy and Jason Timmons. The former Fortune 500 executive has admitted causing a highway crash that killed them and their unborn fetus . 'I have been robbed and violated. I will never see or touch my child ever again,' Timmons' mother, Debbie Blanchard, said as she fought back tears. 'How could you be so heartless? You still have a family; you have taken mine from me', reports the Valley News of West Lebanon. Dellinger appeared to be deeply remorseful during the hearing, the newspaper reported. 'You have my deepest, most heartfelt apology, condolences and remorse for your loss. I am so sorry,' the 54-year-old Dellinger said through sobs. 'My guilt and remorse will be with me forever. I ask for your forgiveness, and I pray for your healing.' Dellinger, of Sunapee, New Hampshire, was a senior vice president and chief financial officer at PPG Industries Inc. when he left in 2011 because of health problems. He also held high-level posts at Sprint Corp., Delphi Corp. and General Electric Co. Earlier he had told the court he has 'never been suicidal.' Tragic: John Timmons, 29, and Amanda Murphy, 24, were killed instantly in the crash on December 7, 2013 .

Investigators say Dellinger told them that on the day of the accident he 'had a disagreement with his wife and went to Vermont to drive around. He said he was very depressed and gloomy and wanted to have a car wreck and kill himself.' On Wednesday, Dellinger told the court: 'I have never been suicidal.' Assistant Attorney General Geoffrey Ward said in court that Dellinger's truck reached 101 mph in the seconds before the crash and was going 87 mph one second before he hit the SUV. His truck sheared off the top of the SUV. The medical examiner's report compared the injuries suffered by Murphy and Timmons to those of plane crash victims. Dellinger suffered cuts and bruises.

New York City police are searching for a man who was caught on a surveillance camera dumping an unconscious woman on a street in Queens over the weekend. The NYPD released the video Tuesday, along with a photo of the victim in the hospital in hopes of identifying her. The woman was critically injured and still has not regained consciousness. The grainy video, obtained from a store owner in the Richmond Hill section of Queens, shows a man dressed in a hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants dragging the limp body of a woman from the backseat of a parked car at around 12.30am Saturday. Discarded: New York City police are searching for a man who was caught on a surveillance camera dumping an unconscious woman on a street in Queens . The video shows a man dressed in a hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants dragging the limp body of a woman from the backseat of a car parked at 131st Street and Jamaica Avenue Saturday morning . Person of interest: The man walks back to the car, briefly glances at the woman's body on the ground, then gets behind the wheel and drives off . Paramedics arrived on the scene 20 minutes later and transported the victim to a hospital in critical condition . After making sure no one is watching, the man props the woman against the wall of a nearby building, but without his support she slumps to the ground face first. The man walks back to the car, briefly glances at the woman's body on the ground, then gets behind the wheel and drives off. The owner of the business whose camera captured the incident told WABC it was disheartening to see that the unidentified man left the woman all alone lying in the middle of the sidewalk at night instead of calling for help. Paramedics responded to the scene at the corner of 131st Street and Jamaica Avenue just before 1am and transported the unnamed victim to Jamaica Hospital, where she was placed on a ventilator. She was listed in critical but stable condition suffering from injuries to her legs and bruising. Jane Doe: Police have released a photo of the unidentified victim in the hospital (left) and an image of her clothes from Saturday (right) In a hospital photo released by police, the victim appears to be an African-American woman in her 20s. Her face is covered in scrapes, her left eye is bruised and there is a breathing tube in her mouth. The NYPD also disseminated a photo of the clothes the woman was wearing Saturday, including a dark-colored jacket, jeans and sneakers.

With its blend of Portuguese and Chinese culture, it didn’t take us long to discover the unique appeal of Macau. Soon after arriving by high-speed TurboJET ferry from Hong Kong, we were sitting in Antonio, a beautifully tiled restaurant that could easily have been in Lisbon. The food and drink was excellent (owner Antonio Coelho whips up a mean souffle), and the fado singing of entertainer Marcelino was truly memorable. Scroll down for video . Macau has 26 casinos, including the largest in the world, The Venetian . Located at the mouth of the Pearl River Delta at the southern tip of China, Macau comprises a peninsula and two islands – Taipa and Coloane – connected by three dramatic bridges. It was run by Portugal until 1999 when it became a special Administrative Region of China. Wandering with our guide through Macau’s Historic Centre the next morning, it was evident how the Portuguese influence has been maintained through the architecture and cobbled streets. The highlights for us were the Ruins of St Paul’s, elegant Senado Square, and A-Ma Temple, which is more than 500 years old. My husband Neil and I were impressed by just how clean and tidy Macau is – they even have WCs for dogs with entrances marked In and Out. Judith Chalmers and her husband travelled to the city and it didn’t take them long to discover the unique appeal of Macau . After lunch at Cafe Litoral (a fusion of Portuguese, Chinese, Indian, South American, African and Malaysian flavours – it works!) we headed over to the Macau Tower, which has the world’s highest bungee jump. Plunging 764ft in 17 seconds is not for the faint-hearted, but neither is Skywalk X, where you are harnessed and take a thrilling – if that’s the word – walk around the outer rim of the Tower with nothing to hold on to. We were disappointed that, for technical reasons, we weren’t able to see the multi-million-pound production of The House Of Dancing Water. Incredible skyline! View of Grand Lisboa and Wynn Hotel and Casino at dusk . Developed by the man behind many of Cirque du Soleil’s dazzling shows, it features acrobats, motorcycle stunts and fountain effects. Mention Macau and many people automatically think ‘casinos’. There are 26 of them, including the world’s biggest, The Venetian. It looks the size of Wembley and has about 500 baccarat, roulette and blackjack tables. Contrasting scenery! The peaceful Coloane island is world's apart from Macau . Gambling is illegal in Hong Kong, except on horseracing, so thousands from Hong Kong as well as mainland China try their luck here. Free shuttle buses run between the casinos, and as the doorman at our hotel, the Sofitel, said: ‘It’s either that or a Rolls-Royce!’ Lord Stow's Bakery is the home to the Portuguese egg custard tart . The island of Coloane, meanwhile, has green hills, small villages and a peaceful coastline. In the Town Square we were intrigued to find Lord Stow’s Bakery, home to the Portuguese egg custard tart. Launched by Englishman Andrew Stow in 1989, the store is now run by his sister Eileen, and it sells more than 3,000 of the delicacies every day. Macau has a typhoon season from June to September when the bridges can be closed, but a long tunnel keeps the traffic flowing. As a destination, it is far cheaper than Hong Kong and there is plenty of accommodation. The food is wonderful, and when you stir in the Portuguese heritage and influence, you get a fascinating and colourful melting pot. Wendy Wu Tours (wendywutours.co.uk, 0844 875 2436) offers a five-day Hong Kong And Macau Discovery tour from £1,099pp, including return flights, B&B accommodation, transfers, half-day Hong Kong tour, Macau city tour with lunch and direct ferry to Macau.

Macau in China offers a whirlwind of activities and attractions . From the 764ft bungee jump to the 26 casinos, thrillseekers will be satisfied . Nearby the sleepy island of Coloane is waiting to be discovered .

(CNN)Are we alone in the cosmos? Or might there be intelligent life elsewhere? Last week, NASA scientists discussed in very concrete terms the steps to discovering life elsewhere in the universe over the next decade or two. This year is the 20th anniversary of the discovery of a planet around a star like our own sun, 51 Pegasi. Since then, ground-based surveys and NASA's Kepler satellite have discovered nearly 2,000 confirmed "exoplanets," and thousands more candidates await confirmation. Many of these planetary systems are quite unlike our own solar system. Some have large planets like Jupiter that orbit their stars far closer than Mercury, the innermost planet in our solar system. But smaller rocky planets like Earth, though harder to find, appear to be even more abundant. Life on Earth developed in its oceans about a billion years after the planet formed. That suggests that rocky planets with liquid water on their surfaces might also have developed primitive forms of life. Life as we know it is carbon-based and requires liquid water. Astronomers define the "habitable zone" around a star as the region within which liquid water can exist on a planet's surface. Any closer to the star, the water will boil into vapor; any farther and the water freezes into ice. Extrapolating from discoveries to date, astronomers estimate there are perhaps 40 billion Earth-like, habitable-zone planets in our Milky Way galaxy alone. Of course, there is a difference between single-celled organisms -- which developed 3.8 billion years ago and remained the most sophisticated form of life for another billion years or so -- and mammals, which appeared about 200 million years ago. And then the humans, who have existed for only 200,000 years. Intelligent life that can communicate via radio waves with other intelligent life is less than 100 years old here on Earth. So while planets that develop simple forms of life may be a dime a dozen, the number that have sentient beings with whom to converse -- even assuming they evolved as humans did, with ears and spoken language, or eyes and written language -- is likely to be tiny. And life that can use radio waves has existed on Earth for only 0.000002% of the planet's history -- 100 years out of 4.5 billion. If the half dozen or so rocky, Earth-like exoplanets now known are similar, the odds of discovering humanlike life on them are about the same as, well, winning your state lottery with one ticket. Of course, if there are 40 billion Earth-like planets out there, the odds improve quite a bit. If they all have histories like the Earth's, there might be 1,000 planets in the Milky Way that could support communicative beings. But before you start composing your first letter to an alien, think about this: The chance that those beings evolved on exactly the same time scale is minuscule. Another planet's 100 years of brilliance might have occurred a billion years ago, or it might happen a billion years in the future. A lot depends on how long communication capabilities last. Civilizations that can build huge telescopes and broadcast stations also have the technology to destroy their planet. So the duration of the Communication Age on a planet could be short. Not to mention: The average light-travel-time to such a planet could be tens of thousands of years, so unless humans evolve to be ageless, we're not exchanging IMs with aliens anytime soon. If advanced civilizations can maintain their capabilities for millions of years or more, the chances of communicating with them are not negligible. But in that case, they are likely to be far more sophisticated than we are (since they developed the capability far earlier than we did) -- so if they wanted us to know they exist, wouldn't they simply tell us? The SETI project has been listening for such broadcasts for more than 30 years in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Probably the most likely form of life on exoplanets is far more primitive. Astronomers have found signatures of organic molecules, the building blocks of life, in the interstellar material that permeates the space between stars in our galaxy. Possible signatures of living organisms on distant exoplanets include an oxygen-rich atmosphere, such as that created by the first bacteria on Earth, or perhaps methane or carbon dioxide. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, to be launched in 2018, will look for evidence of life in the atmospheres of rocky, habitable exoplanets. NASA's rovers have shown that Mars was once much more habitable. It had fresh-water lakes and streams of water running along its surface. Some water still remains, and there may yet be life discovered on Mars. New missions plan to look at Europa and Ganymede, moons of Jupiter that have liquid water below their icy surfaces. Life elsewhere in the universe, and even elsewhere in our own Milky Way galaxy, is practically inevitable. Signs of life on exoplanets orbiting nearby stars will probably be discovered in the coming decades with advanced telescopes. But the chance of talking to those little green men will probably have to wait for another few hundred million years.

NASA scientists discuss steps to discover life elsewhere in the universe over the next two decades . Meg Urry: Life elsewhere in the universe, and even elsewhere in our own Milky Way galaxy, is practically inevitable . But the chances that we can communicate with that life are slim, she writes .

The number of hayfever sufferers in the UK is predicted to reach 20 million this summer, up a third from last year as warm weather bathes the country. For many, the glorious sunshine and promise of temperatures warmer than the Mediterranean this week will come as a welcome relief. But for millions, the first tentative steps towards summer brings impending misery as a dreaded cloud of invisible pollen descends. Experts told MailOnline that five million people are expected to fall victim to the symptoms  - which include streaming eyes, incessant sneezing and irritating itches at the back of the throat - for the first time. Around 20 million people in the UK are expected to suffer hayfever symptoms this summer, up a third from last year, experts told MailOnline . And by 2030 that figure is expected to surge to 31.8 million sufferers. Dr Jean Emberlin, a leading pollen expert, told MailOnline that a 33 per cent rise in the number of people struck by hayfever this year could occur, 'depending on weather conditions'. She said: 'If we get prolonged periods of warm, dry weather with intervals of some wet weather between, which helps the grass to keep growing, we will experience a lot of high grass pollen counts. 'Grass is the main culprit pollen for hayfever in the UK. 'High and very high pollen counts can trigger hayfever symptoms in people who have not had them before. She added: 'In addition, the good weather typically brings increases in air pollution, which can make symptoms worse, and again lead them to occur in people who have been symptom free before.' In addition, she said pollen is becoming more potent, and greater numbers of plants giving off the allergens is also contributing to a rising number of sufferers. Dr Emberlin said another contributing factor is that the average hayfever season is becoming longer, typically stretching from April to the end of August. She added: 'There is substantial evidence from pollen monitoring records and from vegetation surveys to show that the timing of some of the pollen seasons has been changing in the UK and across Europe over the last few decades. Hayfever seasons in the UK are becoming longer, as warmer weather in spring and autumn means pollen is typically rife from March to the end of August . 'In addition there has been a trend to longer pollen seasons and increasing pollen loads of some types. 'Globally, average surface temperatures have increased by about 0.7°C over the past 100 years, leading to earlier plant growth in many regions. 'The trend towards warming has been more pronounced in winter months, resulting in more changes in the timing of spring pollen seasons than those of summer and autumn.' Hayfever is an allergic reaction to pollen and spores. It happens when the immune system mistakes these harmless airborne particles to be a danger and launches a defence against them. The body produces an antibody and histamine is released which causes the typical symptoms of sneezing, runny nose and eyes, an itching nose and mouth, and possibly a blocked nose. The allergy is a seasonal one, triggered by a range of different pollens ranging from tree to grass, weeds to fungal spores. By 2030, Dr Emberlin predicts there will be 31.8 million sufferers as the situation will worsen. 'As summers become warmer more photochemical smogs will occur on dry days resulting in an increased frequency of days with high concentrations of ozone, NOx and other pollutants that will make symptoms worse, and that will make people more susceptible to allergens,' she said. 'Due to climate change in the future, plant growth may be influenced in a way that more, new and altered pollens are produced, which may affect humans.' Dr Emberlin, speaking on behalf of Opticrom Hayfever Eye Drops, warned the season is expected to start suddenly with pollen counts surging from almost nothing to very high in a matter of days. Friday is set to be the hottest day of the year so far, with the mercury poised to rise steadily to reach 21°C in parts of southern England. In preparation, hayfever sufferers are being encouraged to take action, stocking up on antihistamines and other treatments to lessen the impact of their symptoms. 'It is very important to know the seasons, when it is likely to peak and the days when pollen levels will be particularly high. 'Knowing when the season is about to start means there is lots a person can do. 'If you are not sure of the best treatment you can speak to your pharmacist or GP. 'Steroids are often used to treat hayfever, but they are best taken before the onset of symptoms. Dr Jean Emberlin said: High and very high pollen (pictured under the microscope) counts can trigger hayfever symptoms in people who have not had them before' 'Antihistamines are also commonly used and it is a good idea to get them in and ready to use when the season starts. 'If you have got a big event, like exams or a wedding coming up you can ask your GP to prescribe a short course of steroid tablets to keep symptoms at bay. 'There are lots of options available, the key is just to be organised and ensure you are prepared. 'On days you know the pollen count is high make sure you take antihistamines before you leave the house, and wear sunglasses to keep pollen out of your eyes. 'Make sure you wash your clothes regularly and don't sleep with the window open.' Dr Emberlin said pollen counts can suddenly surge if conditions are right. 'A warm day with a slight breeze can signal the perfect conditions for spores to infest the air, causing pollen levels to surge,' she warned.

Last year 15 million people fell victim to the symptoms of hayfever . This year that number is expected to rise by a third to 20 million . Experts told MailOnline warmer weather can result in very high pollen counts which trigger symptoms in new sufferers . High temperatures also increase air pollution, which worsen symptoms .

1. Heavy drinking males: Scientists at Sheffield University have identified six different types of obese person (file image) There are six different types of obese person, scientists have today revealed. The distinction, they hope, will allow for tailor-made treatments to help different obese people combat their weight. Researchers at the University of Sheffield analysed people with a body mass index of 30 or more - a recognised measure of obesity. They found obese people fall into one of six categories: . The scientists said their findings suggest that clinicians and policy makers should not target obese people as a whole, rather treat them according to the 'type' of obese person they are. Dr Mark Green, who led the study, said: 'Policies designed to tackle obesity and encourage healthier lifestyles often target individuals just because they are obese. 'But a focus on just the group as a whole is not very efficient. We are all different and different health promotion approaches work for different people. 'Our research showed that those in the groups that we identified are likely to need very different services, and will respond very differently to different health promotion policies. Scroll down for video . 'In the future, we hope that GPs will keep in mind these six groups when offering advice to their patients.' BMI has long been used to measure individuals in terms of their height and weight, but does not account for variation across other factors such as health, demographic and behavioural characteristics. The team at Sheffield looked at health-related variables, including whether individuals reported conditions like fatigue, pain, insomnia, depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or cancer. 2. Young healthy females: The scientists said their findings suggest that clinicians and policy makers should not target obese people as a whole, rather treat them according to the 'type' of obese person they are. The largest cluster was 'younger healthy females' - also the youngest group (file image) 3. The affluent and healthy elderly: This group was the least deprived cluster and had positive health characteristics - although the group included a large proportion with high blood pressure - and above average alcohol consumption (file image) Demographic variables accounted for were age, sex, ethnicity and socioeconomic deprivation, while well-being was assessed by asking people how satisfied they were with their lives on a scale of nought to 10. Whether participants smoked and the number of units of alcohol they consumed in the previous week was also taken into consideration. 4. The physically sick but happy elderly: They had a higher prevalence of chronic health problems including high blood pressure (file image) As was whether or not they engaged in active weight management - going to slimming clubs, for example - and whether they made a conscious effort to eat more healthily. Researchers discovered the largest cluster was 'younger healthy females' - also the youngest group. They were the group most likely to display positive health characteristics, and engaged in some healthy behaviours. 'Heavy drinking males' showed similar characteristics, but consumed a high level of alcohol. They were less likely to be managing their weight, though did report above average levels of physical exercise and walking. The 'unhappy anxious middle-aged' group was primarily female, had poor mental health and reported high levels of insomnia, anxiety, depression and fatigue. Their sense of well-being was relatively low, but they did engage in healthy physical activity and weight management, and had the lowest alcohol consumption. The final three clusters captured different patterns among older people. The 'affluent healthy elderly' was the least deprived cluster and had positive health characteristics - although the group included a large proportion with high blood pressure - and above average alcohol consumption. The 'physically sick but happy elderly' group had a higher prevalence of chronic health conditions -including osteoarthritis, diabetes and high blood pressure - but exhibited low levels of anxiety and depression. 5. The unhappy and anxious middle-aged: This group was primarily female, had poor mental health and reported high levels of insomnia, anxiety, depression and fatigue (file image) 6. Those with the poorest health: This group was found to be the most deprived, and had the highest prevalence of chronic health conditions. And they tended not to engage in healthy behaviours (file image) The final group, made up of those with the 'poorest health', was the most deprived, had the highest prevalence of most chronic health conditions, and tended not to engage in healthy behaviours. It also had the highest average BMI. Researchers said health professionals should assess what group obese patients might fall into and treat them accordingly. For example, for the 'unhappy anxious middle-aged' an intervention involving increasing exercise may need to be mixed with psycho-social counselling, while for those in the 'poorest health', group advice on exercise may not be reasonable and more modest goals may be needed. Meanwhile messages about alcohol reduction could help tackle obesity in young adults. The findings are published in the Journal of Public Health.

A delivery driver was questioned under anti-terror laws after taking pictures of police vehicles parked at a bus stop. Kieron Power’s wife had previously been given a £110 ticket for stopping in the same place for 45 seconds behind a police car and van. A week after she received the ticket given out by a council CCTV ‘spy car’, he went back to gather evidence of police cars parked at the stop in Kingston upon Thames, South-West London. Delivery driver Kieron Power was pulled over and questioned under anti-terror laws after taking these pictures of police vehicles parked in a bus stop . Mr Power, 54, from Esher, Surrey, was on his way home after taking the photographs when a police car came up behind him with its blue lights flashing. He said: ‘I didn’t think much, because I wasn’t doing anything wrong, but then all of a sudden another police car appeared in front of me in a pincer movement and I was forced to stop. ‘They told me they were stopping me under the Prevention of Terrorism Act. They said I’d been seen taking pictures of police cars, which I admitted. 'I told them why, but they still demanded my pictures be deleted. I refused, because I had done nothing wrong, and the officer spoke to his commander. Eventually I was allowed on my way – it seemed so heavy-handed. Mr Power, 54, was stopped in a pincer manoeuvre by a pair of police cars after he took photographs of two vehicles parked up in a bus stand - because his wife was given a £110 ticket for doing the same thing . ‘I was annoyed that my wife had been given a ticket for briefly stopping somewhere the police always park, but I never dreamed I would be accused of being a terrorist.’ Mr Power’s wife has paid the ticket for parking behind the Bittoms centre in Kingston after an appeal on the grounds that police were blocking the ‘bus stand’ markings failed. A Kingston police spokesman said: ‘The man was initially requested to delete the photos, however after the officer clarified the Metropolitan Police Service’s approach towards photography of police officers and vehicles with his supervisors, he realised the man was allowed to keep them. ‘The police vehicles parked on the bus stand are part of the Met’s Safer Transport Command and have been given permission by the local authority to park there.’ Mr Power said: ‘I appreciate that police cars need to stop wherever they can for operational matters, but these vehicles are always there. It’s one rule for them and one rule for us, I suppose.’

So, when a woman is granted Victoria's Secret Angel wings, she's deemed something special and the future begins to look pretty bright. The lingerie giant this week added ten new Angels to its coveted roster and one lucky Brit made the cut. So who is Stella Maxwell and how did she make the transition from diplomat's daughter to one of the world's sexiest women? Scroll down for video . Stella Maxwell, who is Irish but now splits her time between Los Angeles and New York, was this week unveiled as one of ten new Victoria's Secret Angels . Stella, 24, was born to Northern Irish parents Stella Maynes and Maurice Maxwell, who worked as a diplomat. She was born in Belgium and was raised there until she was 13. In one of her many moves, her family relocated to Canberra, Australia, then Wellington, New Zealand thanks to her father's job. The 5ft 9in beauty was discovered at Otago University and started her modelling career. She has since gone on to land coveted campaigns for the likes of ASOS, Alexander McQueen, H&M, River Island and Urban Outfitters, as well as Vogue and ELLE editorials.

(CNN)This article contains language that may be offensive to some. Since the news broke last weekend that Hillary Clinton had declared her candidacy, notable among the blitz of news stories are the many that refer to her as the mononymous "Hillary," as if she were a pop star in a pantsuit. The New York Post published an item titled "Lena Dunham backs Hillary for President" while gossip site TMZ refers to the former FLOTUS, U.S. senator, and secretary of state on a first-name basis throughout its news story on the announcement. Even The New Republic posted a piece about the run called "There's Nothing Inevitable about Hillary." She's famous enough by now to go by one name, but should she? While Clinton is arguably more widely known than any of her to-date opponents, she's also a former U.S. senator and secretary of state. She's not Beyoncé. And yet, despite her decorated career in government, we've long called Clinton by her first name, and her first name only, in a way we don't do with men who have held similar, or even vaguely similar, positions of power. According to a University of Utah study, Clinton was called by her first name four times more than her 2008 rival, Barack Obama, and so it goes this time around. After all, Rand's also running for president. So is Marco. When those guys declared, however, they got headlines that included their last names. There's a very good reason for that. Presidential candidates are not just professionals, but professionals declaring their candidacy for a position that many consider to be the most powerful in the world. A position that not only deserves formality and respect, but within a global context seems to require it. Being president of the United States is a serious job. Are there "Ted for President" signs in our future? Unlikely. Were we encouraged to "Vote for Mitt"? Nope. The U.S. Army, meanwhile, is one of the most regimented organizations in the world, whose values put dignity and respect at top priority. Cadets don't call their commanding officers by their first names, even -- maybe especially -- if they're women. So why are we all referring to the possible next commander-in-chief as if we're part of her circle of close pals? Before you point to the fact that Clinton is not the first Clinton to cross this particular political threshold, the issue at hand is not one of practicality: The American public is smart enough to distinguish between this Clinton and that Clinton. George W. Bush wasn't the first in his family to run for office, and when he did, legitimate newspapers didn't go around noting the "W" (or even "Dubya") was up for the job. He was just Bush, as he should have been, just as Clinton is just Clinton, a woman who has done a very good job distinguishing herself from her husband without the need to be referred to by her first name in order to avoid a case of mistaken identity. Of course, the mononymity doesn't seem to be unwelcome: Sections of Clinton's website invite readers to "Like Hillary on Facebook" and read about "Hillary's Story," while the campaign's official hashtag appears to be #Hillary2016. Her campaign chairman reportedly emailed potential campaign donors yesterday with the missive that "It's official: Hillary's running for President." Perhaps Clinton and her advisers believe the single name makes her more personable, and familiar. Maybe it's an effort to distance Clinton from the other gender-based stereotype slapped on her the last time around, when she was "the bitch" to Sarah Palin's "ditz." But while we should like our president -- if not desire to have her as a personal friend -- it's far more important to trust, and respect, her -- and that still requires a level of formality. It's important for the American public to be able to imagine electing a leader not despite the fact that she's a woman, or even because she's a woman, but who, very simply, happens to be a woman. Whether she endorses the idea or not, calling Clinton by her first name serves to, at best, reinforce gender and workplace stereotypes -- that women need to be "approachable," not abrasive or aloof, in order to get the job done and be liked while doing it -- and at worst, infantilize and put her in her place. There's a reason, after all, that we address current and former presidents as Mr. President when we meet them, and not "Hey, Jimmy!" And if there's a reason Hillary Clinton will be elected as our next president, it's not because she let us call her Hillary.

Peggy Drexler: Media, even candidate herself call Clinton just 'Hillary.' This reinforces stereotypes about women needing to be approachable . She says especially in global context, trust, respect important for the potential leader of free world, not familiarity. Just 'Hillary' not appropriate .

Three children have died as one remains in a serious condition after a car crashed into a lake outside of Melbourne this afternoon. The 4WD, containing four children and an adult, crashed into a lake at Wyndham Vale in Melbourne's outer west, just before 4pm. Police believe that all children are under the age of six. According to Nine News reports, one child who died in hospital was aged seven. Another child, who died en route to the Royal Children's Hospital, was aged one and a half. The first child who was pronounced dead at the scene was aged under seven. The relation between the female driver and the four children are not yet known but the woman is currently under police guard in hospital. Scroll down for video . A 4WD containing four children and an adult has crashed into a lake at Wyndham Vale, in Melbourne's outer west . Paramedics work on two of the victims of the crash on Wednesday afternoon. Police later confirmed three of the four children died . The search and rescue team is at the scene to pull the car from the water, which is reportedly about 20 to 30 metres from shore . Locals are shocked as to how the car was able to get into the centre of the lake as it is 'pretty far from the road' The fourth child was flown by air ambulance to the Royal Children's Hospital and remains in a serious condition. The driver was transported via road ambulance to the Royal Melbourne Hospital, according to a Victoria Ambulance spokesperson, and she remains in a stable condition. A police spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia that officers are yet to interview the woman. 'Police do not believe anyone is still in the lake,' a statement from Victoria police said. 'At this stage the exact circumstances of how the car went into the lake are yet to be determined.' Superintendent Stuart Bateson told the Herald Sun that the search and rescue team is at the scene to pull the car from the water, which is reportedly about 20 to 30 metres from shore. He said further tests will be done in order to determine whether the car had any mechanical defects. Victoria police said that the exact circumstances of how the car went into the lake are yet to be determined . A resident named Michelle told 3AW that her neighbour broke open the back windscreen of the 4WD to save the children . A Victoria Ambulance spokesperson said the children were being taken to The Royal Children's hospital via air ambulance . A resident named Michelle told 3AW that her neighbour broke open the back windscreen of the 4WD to save the children. 'Travis jumped into the water, smashed the back screen of the car and got one little boy out,' she said. 'Then they started working on him.' Michelle also told the radio station the vehicle was driving along Manor Lakes Boulevard and 'just went straight over into the lake'. Another resident, Stacie Buckley, told the Herald Sun she was in complete shock over the incident. 'You would never think something like this would happen in that particular spot. The ponds are pretty far back from the road. It’s just completely shocking,' she said. A local told The Age that 'you'd need considerable force to get the car all the way to the centre of the lake'. Witnesses or anyone with further information about the incident should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Further tests will be conducted in order to determine whether the car had any mechanical defects . The relation between the female driver and the four children are not yet known but the woman is currently under police guard in hospital .

Anything To Declare . by John Frost . (Constable £8.99) Stopped by Customs officers, Oscar Wilde notoriously said he had nothing to declare but his genius. Other passengers, as Jon Frost hilariously recounts, try to sneak through the red and green channels considerably more heavily laden. John Frost says he ‘wouldn’t trust a nun with a crutch’ (stock image) During his long career as a Customs specialist at London airports, Frost has had ‘to politely listen to people lying through their teeth at you’ as they attempt to smuggle in snakes, bush meat (zebra, lion, gorilla), combs that double as flick-knives, a monkey sewn into the lining of a coat, another monkey ‘disguised as a hairy child’, corpses ‘propped up in a wheelchair wearing wonky sunglasses’ and a box of dry ice containing a man’s buttock, apparently sliced off by a Samurai sword. Hospitals were put on the alert to look out for ‘anyone who had trouble sitting down’. As they riffle through travellers’ bags, Frost and his team frequently detect drugs: socks impregnated with heroin, cannabis resin in shoes, soup cans or barrels of bitumen. Drugs are often hidden in hollowed-out disposable lighters, AA batteries that unscrew to reveal a stash inside and shaving cream aerosols cleverly made to still squirt real foam out of the top. Once, Frost found a pack of 12 brightly coloured lipsticks, ‘where every lipstick was actually moulded from cocaine paste. Very clever’. The cardboard lining of suitcases or sports bags, originating in Amsterdam, often contained 20 compressed sheets of LSD tabs, worth £10,000 on the street. To deter the Customs inspections, smugglers sometimes litter their luggage with hypodermic needles or razor blades. What Frost looks out for are people whose passports show frequent trips being made to drug-source countries. Flights paid for in bundles of cash can be suspicious. Also don’t stroll around too flashily dressed: ‘It is better to look scruffily right than too smartly wrong,’ he says. It’s amazing how many drug-dealers try to behave like drug-dealers in a film. By and large, the Customs officers would sooner ‘nab some nob on a private plane who thinks it allows him to sneak in a suitcase of cocaine than some kid from the Netherlands with a spliff in his sock’ — though don’t let that make you feel over-confident. One of the hallmarks of a tip-top inspector is that he ‘wouldn’t trust a nun with a crutch’ — and no wonder. They are always confronting nuns smuggling in gin disguised as litre bottles of Holy water — ‘Another miracle!’ The worst part of the job, however, is the strip-search. ‘Every single hiding place and hole in the human body has, at one time, been used by smugglers.’ Frost has to snap on his Marigolds and wait for the ‘swallowers’ and ‘stuffers’ to void condoms filled with drugs into the lavatory pan. ‘It becomes a waiting game,’ he says, philosophically. Yet such criminals are easy to spot. ‘You try walking normally with half-a-kilo of drugs up your jacksy.’ There’s me thinking everyone arriving from South America had piles. It is not only narcotics, of course. Frost’s job is to detect and confiscate weapons, child porn videos, pirated medicines and counterfeit art. He has seen mobile phones containing tiny pistols and stun guns, and straw camels and donkeys from Spain and Tunisia crammed with used hospital bandages. He has to collect the duty due on imported diamonds, fur coats and Rolex watches. Contraband is destroyed, valuables handed to the Crown and booze poured away. ‘The airport drains probably had the only alcoholic rats in the country.’ On one occasion, Frost had to board a Hercules aircraft from Nigeria, where a rat the size of a Shetland pony had been glimpsed in the hold. Though the police went in with their Heckler & Koch MP5 automatic rifles, it was Frost who did the deed, bashing the monster with a B&Q garden spade. As ‘death by rabies is a nasty way to go’, our quarantine rules are strict. Frost also says that they look out for those strolling through the airport in flashy clothing, because he says ‘It is better to look scruffily right than too smartly wrong' Frost often has to do battle with rich folks in private Gulfstream jets who think their pets are exempt — one lot even had the gall to suggest they were on their way to Balmoral to shoot grouse with the Queen. If their dog mixed with the corgis, Frost patiently explained, then the corgis also would have to be destroyed . . . Horses, incidentally, are tricky animals to ship. They get so nervous and frightened, it is not unknown for them to bite their trainer’s fingers clean off at the knuckle. Corpses aren’t given much peace, either. Did you know that if you croak abroad, it can cost £4,500 to repatriate the body, which has to be embalmed and secured in a zinc coffin? (Hence the wheelchair and sunglasses gambit — cheaper.) As coffins are ‘a good vehicle for contraband importation’, these have to be rigorously searched — a ghoulish task, especially if the deceased’s arm shoots up and its wig falls off. And it is also not unknown for stowaways in the hold to be crushed by the retracting undercarriage — and to drop onto the runway at Stansted several hours later as a block of ice. No wonder, to ease the tension, Customs officers play wicked pranks on each other. ‘Never fly into the airport where you also work’ is the strong advice. Otherwise, you can come back from Tenerife and your luggage will have been replaced on the carousel with concrete blocks. Eventually, Frost was upgraded from the rubber gloves to work in undercover surveillance. This meant the painstaking study of airline computer systems, which give details of ticket payments and full details of a passenger’s travel. (Privacy and freedom of movement? Forget it. They know where we are, where we’ve been and where we are all going.) The Customs Investigation Division, which follows international drugs cartels and involves ‘info gathering and smuggling ops’, is based in a Georgian building near Tower Bridge, built in the days of old-fashioned pirates and ships flying the Jolly Roger flag. Here, Frost had to serve alongside MI5 and MI6. The doings of the Serious Organised Crime Agency sound like the plot of a Guy Ritchie movie — with traces of Breaking Bad thrown in. Further jaunty volumes of reminiscence are promised.

Zenit St Petersburg striker Hulk lived up to his nickname on Monday night by dressing up as the aforementioned superhero at the premiere of the Avengers: Age of Ultron movie. The 28-year-old, who acquired his nickname due to his likeness to the actor Lou Ferrigno who played the Incredible Hulk in The Incredible Hulk television show in the 1970s, was all smiles as he posed for photos ahead of watching the film. Accompanied with the caption: 'Hulk at the premier of the blockbuster «Avengers: Age of Ultron» @hulkparaiba #Avengers' the Brazil international was pictured wearing the superhero's iconic green hands via Zenit's official Instagram account.

The 28-year-old (right) recently signed a new long-term deal at Zenit until the end of the 2018-19 season . Hulk, who has 41 caps for Brazil, recently signed a new long-term deal at the Russian club until the end of the 2018-19 season. Zenit's No 7's previous deal, reportedly worth more than £5million a year, had been due to expire in summer 2017. The club did not provide any financial details of the new contract - with the striker having netted 15 goals in 33 appearances for the Russian giants in all competitions at present. Hulk's new contract comes at a time when many Russian football clubs are struggling with financial problems because of the low value of the ruble, which has lost almost half of its value against the dollar in the last 12 months - with Rotor Volgograd going bankrupt earlier this month. Top players in Russia are typically paid in dollars or euros, but club budgets are in rubles, putting pressure on clubs' finances.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is planning a summer swoop for Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke. The club's technical director Michael Emenalo travelled to Spain on Saturday to watch the 23-year-old during Atletico's 2-1 victory against Deportivo, according to Spanish newspaper AS. The highly-rated Spaniard signed a long-term deal with Diego Simeone's side only last year, but Mourinho is reportedly planning to offer second-choice left-back Filipe Luis to his former club as a makeweight for the deal. Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho could be planning a summer swoop for Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke (above) Spanish newspaper AS report that Mourinho could offer Filipe Luis in a part-exchange deal this summer . Luis has struggled to make an impact at Stamford Bridge this season after failing to displace Spanish defender Cesar Azpilicueta from the left-back spot. AS also report that Koke's release clause is around £50million which Chelsea could be willing to shell out as Mourinho looks to add to a midfield that has looked tired at times this season. Koke, an Atletico academy graduate, was instrumental as the club reached the final of the Champions League before losing to local rivals Real Madrid last season and has .

The Liberal Democrats have admitted they are on course to lose at least 20 MPs, but claim this could still be enough to put them back in power. Nick Clegg today continued his tour of 60 seats where the party is defending perilous majorities or hope to make gains, stopping off in Hampshire where the Lib Dems held Eastleigh after Chris Huhne was jailed. But behind the scenes, senior party sources admit their current total of 57 MPs will be slashed to 'in the thirties' after a catastrophic collapse in support. Nick Clegg today continued his tour of 60 seats where the party is defending perilous majorities or hope to make gains, stopping off in Eastleigh in Hampshire . Mr Clegg today admitted that his party was fighting 'tooth and nail' in fewer than a tenth of Westminster seats. Instead of battling to win seats across the country, the party has highly targeted strategy, effectively fighting 60 by-elections in constituencies where his candidates stand a chance. A party source said if the party had a group of MPs numbering 'in the 30s' it could potentially hold the balance of power after May 7 and be able to once again form part of a coalition government. The senior Lib Dem, closely involved in the party's election strategy, said the campaign's focus was increasingly on between 10 and 15 marginal seats - some held by the party and a few targets - with other constituencies either assessed as safe or effectively written off. Assessing the election outcome, the source said: 'Everything is so marginal, we need to get into the 30s and the other parties need to sort themselves out and we will see what the answer is. 'There are now basically two possible outcomes to this election - we can either get a minority government or a coalition with the Lib Dems in it.' Asked if a seat count in the 30s was realistic, the source said: 'Oh yes.' Pressed on whether that was a 'best case' scenario, the senior Lib Dem said: 'I would like to say 150, but I think in fairness you wouldn't believe me. 'There are lots of marginal seats. There's a marginal outcome in 40 seats for us and if we won every one of those marginal contests we would get to 40-odd.' Mr Clegg today admitted that his party was fighting 'tooth and nail' in fewer than a tenth of Westminster seats . Opinion polls by YouGov since 2010 show the dramatic collapse in the Lib Dem support,  to barely 8 per cent . The Lib Dems won 57 seats in the 2010 election but have been hit by a slump in popularity after forming the coalition government with the Conservatives. Mr Clegg travelled to Eastleigh, the scene of a 2013 by-election triumph, to spell out the intensity with which the party would fight in its target seats. The Lib Dems have built up a reputation as formidable campaigners in by-election contests, including in the Hampshire seat which they held following the resignation of disgraced former cabinet minister Chris Huhne, despite a Ukip surge. Mr Clegg and the party's election strategists have insisted the poor national opinion poll ratings, which have seen the party stuck around the 8 per cent mark, are not reflected in the data gathered by canvassers and internal polling. The Lib Dem leader told supporters: 'What we are going to do on May 7 isn't just, as the placards say, win here, we are going to win up and down the country. 'Because in effect what we are doing is running a campaign of not just one Eastleigh by-election but 60 Eastleigh by-elections - north, south, east, west, campaigning with exactly the same vigour that led to that famous victory.' He added: 'In the final week of this campaign two million voters will hear our message on Facebook, on YouTube and on social media. 'So we are fighting a campaign like we have never fought a campaign before. Sixty by-elections up and down the country.' Mr Clegg was all smiles at the Ageas Bowl cricket ground near Eastleigh, behind the scenes, senior party sources admit their current total of 57 MPs will be slashed to 'in the thirties' after a catastrophic collapse in support. The alternatives to a coalition involving the Lib Dems were a Labour-SNP alliance 'saddling our children with the dead weight of debts from this generation' or a 'hapless David Cameron administration dancing to the tune of Ukip, the DUP and - most chillingly and worryingly of all - his own MPs on the right wing of the Conservative Party'. In a rallying cry delivered at Hampshire County Cricket Club's Ageas Bowl stadium he said: 'If you don't want to run the risk of our country lurching to the right, lurching to the left, the only way to guarantee to keep our country on track is to vote Liberal Democrat. 'We will cut less than the Conservatives, we will borrow less than Labour. We have provided a heart to a government with the Conservatives, just as we would provide a brain to a government with the Labour Party on the economy.' He added: 'We will win again. We will campaign like no other party knows how to campaign again. We will serve our local community better than any other party does again. We will speak to more voters than any other party again.' Asked whether he was now even running a national campaign following his call for '60 Eastleighs', Mr Clegg said: 'I am saying that exactly the same zeal of that by-election is what we are applying in the 60-odd seats where we are fighting tooth and nail to get Liberal Democrats elected in this election.' A new survey by Lord Ashcroft had the Tories on 36 per cent, with Labour trailing on 30 per cent, Ukip on 11 per cent and the Lib Dems on 9 per cent . The Tories could be six points ahead of Labour, or three points behind, depending on which opinion poll to believe. The latest batch of surveys agree on only one thing: the result is probably too close to call. David Cameron's day will have been brightened by a six-point lead in a survey by Lord Ashcroft. The Tories are on 36 per cent, with Labour trailing on 30 per cent, Ukip on 11 per cent and the Lib Dems on 9 per cent. Another poll by ICM for the Guardian also gave Mr Cameron's party a lead, but of only three points lead on 35 per cent to 32 per cent for Labour. However, the Sun's YouGov poll had Labour in the lead on 34 per cent to the Tories' 33 per cent, indicating that the battle for No 10 remains agonisingly close for the party leaders. Labour enjoyed a three-point lead in a Populus poll, on 36 per cent (up one point) to the Conservatives' 33 per cent (up one). North of the border, a TNS poll found Scottish National Party support continuing to surge to 54 per cent, almost two-and-a-half times Labour's 22 per cent.

Director of the British Museum Neil MacGregor has announced he is stepping down from the job at the end of the year. Mr MacGregor, 68, who has been at the helm of the museum since 2002, said it was 'a difficult thing' to decide to leave. He previously ran the National Gallery and has also worked as a broadcaster - most notably on his Radio 4 series A History Of The World In 100 Objects which was inspired by the museum's collection. Neil MacGregor, 68, pictured at the British Museum, which he has lead since 2002, said it was 'a difficult thing' to decide to leave after 13 years . Mr MacGregor said last night: 'Working with this collection and, above all, with the colleagues here has been the greatest privilege of my professional life. 'But I've decided that now is the time to retire from full-time employment and the end of this year seems a good time to go. 'The new building has been completed, so we at last have proper exhibition space, new conservation and scientific facilities, and first-class accommodation for our growing research activities. 'We have built strong partnerships with fellow museums across the UK, and are rapidly expanding our programme of loans and training around the world. 'The museum is now ready to embark on a new phase - deploying the collection to present different histories of the world. The museum in Great Russell Street is 'now ready to embark on a new phase - deploying the collection to present different histories of the world', according to its outgoing head . Neil MacGregor's A History of the World in 100 Objects book and Radio 4 series were wildly popular and were inspired by the collection at the British Museum . 'It is an exhilarating prospect, and it will start with the new Islamic galleries and with plans for the future of the Old Reading Room.' The museum's chairman Sir Richard Lambert said Mr MacGregor had done an 'outstanding' job. He said: 'The trustees are hugely grateful for everything he has done to bring the collection to life, and to tell its many different stories. We respect his decision to move on, and want to support him in his new projects. 'We are now starting the process of looking for someone to take on what will be one of the best and most challenging jobs of its kind in the world. 'The museum is in great shape, and we are fortunate to have an outstanding team in place to lead its activities and help build its future with the new director. 'The collection of the British Museum is in a real sense the memory of mankind and the task is to present it in the best possible way in and beyond Bloomsbury for the benefit of present and future generations.' The museum, in Bloomsbury, central London, received 6.7 million visitors in 2014/15 and recent exhibitions have looked at life in China, Afghanistan, and ancient Rome.

Manny Pacquiao has become one of the most recognisable stars in the world of sport after a series of mega-fights and another one to follow on Saturday night against Floyd Mayweather at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The Filipino has been involved in some of the biggest bouts in the world over the past decade or so, facing the likes of Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto and four fights against Mexican warrior Juan Manuel Marquez. But it's been a tough road to the top for Pacquiao from being born into poverty in the Philippines. He spent the early part of his career boxing in the Far East before being given his chance on the big stage in 2001 against Lehlo Ledwaba in an IBF world super-bantamweight title fight in Las Vegas.

Ever since dethroning the South African world champion on that June night at the MGM Grand 14 years ago, Pacquiao hasn't looked back and is set to take on Mayweather in the Fight of the Century on Saturday. Just days away from the $300million showdown on the Vegas Strip, pictures have emerged of Pacquiao as a teenager in a Manila boxing gym, when occasions such as this Saturday night were just a dream. Pacquiao moved away from home a the age of 14 to the country's capital Manila to pursue his boxing career and the rest, as they say, is history. The 36-year-old is now one of the biggest stars in the world. These incredible pictures show Pacquiao training at the LM Gym in Manila in 1996 at the age of 17 after he won his first 10 professional bouts - all of which were in 1995. In the same year that these pictures were taken, Mayweather was preparing to box at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, which ended for him in a controversial loss against Serafim Todorov in the semi-finals. Nineteen years later, Mayweather and Pacquiao will finally cross paths in the biggest fight of this generation. The pair will make their first public appearances of the week on Tuesday as the bout draws ever closer. Boxing fans have already begun pouring into Las Vegas to taste the atmosphere building around the richest fight in history, even though only 500 tickets for the clash were made available for general sale. Pacquiao will host a fans' rally on Tuesday at the Mandalay Bay Hotel with trainer Freddie Roach, promoter Bob Arum and his pet Jack Russell Pacman also present. Attention then turns to the MGM Grand, the venue for the fight on Saturday and where Mayweather will be making his grand arrival. The welterweight rivals were both due to attend the traditional grand arrival that marks the beginning of fight week only for Arum to withdraw Pacquiao, claiming the event is a 'waste of time'. Arum also pulled the plug on a media conference call with Pacquiao last week before a question had been asked, while Mayweather spoke for almost half an hour the following night. The one upmanship is sure to continue until fight day. Pacquiao has been involved in some of the biggest fights over the last decade but Saturday's occasion will eclipse all of them .

Radamel Falcao has been having a tough time of it on the pitch in recent months, but the struggling striker will have benefited from some much-needed perspective after spending Thursday evening in the company of Jonas Gutierrez. Newcastle United defender Gutierrez, who successful underwent treatment for testicular cancer earlier this year, was given a standing ovation at Anfield when he was introduced as a second-half substitute during his side's 2-0 defeat by Liverpool on Monday night. Falcao managed to catch up with Gutierrez and posted a picture of the pair on his Instagram account stating: 'It was a pleasure to spend time with @elgalgojonas ,a great example of bravery and a great person'.

The Colombia striker moved to Old Trafford on a season-long loan from Monaco last summer but has struggled to hit the heights he achieved before suffering a serious knee injury. United will have to pay £46million to make Falcao's transfer permanent but, having only scored four goals all season in 22 appearances for the club, his future with Louis van Gaal's side is looking increasingly uncertain. The former Atletico Madrid striker is currently commanding £280,000 a week in wages and had to suffer the ignominy of playing for United's Under 21 team in March. Liverpool are being linked with the 29-year-old forward but it is understood that Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Valencia are more likely destinations.

When the first iPad launched on 3 April 2010, opinion was split on how popular the product would turn out to be, and whether the tablet market would grow. Now five years - and 225 million sales - later it might be natural to presume that those who doubted the device have been proved wrong. But amid falling sales and a new generation of alternative devices, some industry experts have predicted that the iPad’s days are numbered. Scroll down for video . The first generation iPad was revealed by the late Steve Jobs in early 2010 (pictured), but at the time it was met with ridicule as experts struggled to see how it would prove popular. Five years and 225 million units later, it seems many critics have been proved wrong - for now . When Steve Jobs revealed the original iPad in California in early 2010, it was met with derision by many technology experts, who failed to see how such a product would prove popular. At the time, blogger MG Siegler from TechCrunch said: 'Is it a must-have? The quick and dirty answer is: for many people, right now, no. 'Unlike the iPhone, which filled an already well-established need, there is no existing need the iPad fills.' Rhi Morgan at T3 magazine agreed. He said: 'I can’t see anybody who needs a laptop buying an iPad, and I can’t see people using it as a smartphone either.' But opinion soon swung back in Apple’s favour. Within the first 24 hours of Apple's launch the company sold 300,000 units, and to date, nine incarnations of the iPad have gone on sale, with the Air 2 and Mini 3 being the most recent. 1st generation: 3 April 2010 . 2*: 11 March 2011 . 3rd generation: 16 March 2012 . 4th generation: 2 November 2012 . Mini 1st generation: 2 November 2012 . Air: 1 November 2013 . Mini 2: 12 November 2013 . Air 2: 22 October 2014 . Mini 3: 22 October 2014 . *Note: The iPad 2 was the only iPad that had a number after its name (aside from the Air and Mini). The iPad was soon heralded as being the perfect mid-way device between a phone and a laptop. Considering, at the time in 2010, smartphones were still by and large finding their feet, the iPad filled a gap in the market that many thought simply wasn’t there. The Horn, a technology blog for eCommerce site Gazelle, cited a number of areas that the iPad exceeded in. In education, the iPad found its place as tablets were preferred to textbooks. And, according to The Horn, it ‘altered (and possibly saved) the publishing industry, forcing magazines and newspapers to create tablet-ready versions for digitally savvy customers.’ While the iPad was by no means the first tablet on the market, it successfully grew the industry to such levels that, today, news readers or presenters are often seen clutching an iPad when talking on the TV, where once they would have used paper. Launches of Apple products are often greeted by swathes of adoring fans - and that was none more obvious than with the launch of the original iPad. Pictured is Robert Scoble picking up the inaugural iPad on 3 April 2010 in Palo Alto, California . How far we've come: On the left is the original iPad, launched in 2010, and on the right the iPad Air 2, launched on 22 October 2014 . The latest variant of the iPad, the iPad Air 2, is shown here being unveiled by CEO Tim Cook on 16 October 2014. In total nine different versions of the iPad have made it to market . Queues of people are seen here waiting outside the Apple store in Regent's Street, London after the release of the iPad 2 on 25 March 2011 . But it seems the tide may be turning for the iPad. According to CNN Money, sales for the iPad dropped 18 per cent in the final quarter of 2014 alone. And this year, it’s predicted that sales will fall by five per cent from last year - admittedly still at 60.1 million units - but the lowest level since 2012. Industry expert Giulio Montemagno, from SVP International, RetailMeNot, says that while tablets might have revolutionised some markets, it risks being lost in a sea of other products. ‘This year alone, shoppers are set to spend £6.32 billion [$9.37 billion] using tablet devices in the UK, up from £3.62 billion [$5.36 billion] 2014,’ he said. But he added: ‘We are seeing a strong shift from tablets to smartphones as the lines blur between smartphones, phablets, and tablets.’ Apple's iPad has widely been heralded as kickstarting the tablet industry, creating a huge new market between smartphones and laptops - and seeing many copycat devices made in the process . ‘There are still flashes of life in the iPad,’ Martyn Landi, Press Association Technology Correspondent, told MailOnline. ‘It’s still the fastest selling product in Apple history with more than a quarter of a billion sold in five years - and that's quite something up against the iPhone and iPod. ‘But sales are starting to decline as smartphones are getting bigger and rivals are getting better. ‘iPad numbers were always going to fall at some point because they had a huge market share to begin with - 75 per cent after the first year of iPad - and that was always unlikely to be sustainable once the competition got involved. ‘It's being squeezed from both sides by “phablets” like Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and even the iPhone 6 Plus, but also on the other side by hybrid laptops like the Surface Pro 3. ‘Times and trends change. Right now, it's all about larger screen smartphones and full metal bodies. Tablets are not top of the wanted list for consumers right now, but that doesn't mean they never will again.’ All is not well for the iPad. The rise of new devices like the Apple Watch (left) and larger smartphones like the iPhone 6 Plus (right) mean the place for the iPad in today's market is becoming less obvious . ‘To some extent it’s Apple’s own fault,’ said Phil Morris, Deputy Editor for iCreate Magazine. ‘With bigger screens on its iPhones, consumers aren’t using their iPads like they used to. ‘The new MacBook is going to dent the iPad even further - that machine is like a Mac with an iPad engine, a real sofa-surfers' device. ‘Apple won't let the iPad die though, so we fully expect an iPad Pro later this year’ On whether Apple might consider discontinuing the iPad, though, he said he ‘can’t ever see that happening.’ He added: ‘Sales won’t fall off that dramatically for the iPad to be discontinued.’ Apple store staff in central Sydney welcome the first shopper waiting in line, Alex Lee (centre) of Canada, the moment Apple's iPad 2 became available for direct purchase in Australia on 25 March 2011. Hundreds of customers lined up outside Apple stores for the launch - but will we see such numbers again? With the release of smartphones with larger screens like the iPhone 6 Plus, and other devices like the Apple Watch, the place for the iPad today is becoming less obvious. But, after all, that is what they said five years ago, as well. Will we be celebrating the 10 anniversary of the iPad in 2020, though, and looking back on another successful five years? At the moment, it looks pretty unlikely.

Apple's first generation iPad launched on 3 April 2010 . In its five years on the market, 225 million devices have been sold . But larger smartphones and smart watches may herald its end . Sales for the iPad dropped 18 per cent in the final quarter of 2014 .

A Turkish Airlines flight from Milan to Istanbul made an emergency landing at Ataturk Airport today after its engine caught fire. It's the latest in a series of such incidents that have forced the carrier to divert or recall flights. Television images showed firefighters approaching the plane at the airport and putting out the fire, and the Airbus A320 aircraft's passengers were evacuated safely. The Turkish Airlines plane lands a second time with the right engine on fire after earlier aborting a first attempt .

Turkish Airlines spokesperson Dr. Ali Genc told MailOnline Travel: 'Turkish Airlines TK 1878 Milan-Istanbul flight has landed safely after its first attempt to Istanbul Ataturk Airport. The plane slid off the runway after its landing by its declaration of emergency landing. 'The evacuation has been safely and promptly completed. Our 97 passengers on board have been safely taken to terminal. Currently, there is no injuries or no health problem on any of our passengers reported. 'The necessary investigation has been started to clarify the causes of the incident.' Airlive.net are reporting that while attempting the first landing, the right side landing gear collapsed forcing the pilot to abort. It is believed the right landing gear was damaged on a first landing, that led to the right-hand side fire . The plane was quickly evacuated on landing, and there are no reported injuries from the 97 on board . Passengers were safely led from the stricken plane that ended up on the grass after the emergency landing . The moment of impact once the plane landed at Ataturk Airport saw more flames from the aircraft . People took to social networks to praise the captain's safe landing of the Turkish Airlines flight .

On Twitter Flyingpilot79 wrote that he was glad the flight had landed, and 'that everyone is ok', while Nicholas Guerts added: 'Well done to the #TK1878 crew for getting that aircraft on to the ground safely!' A photo released from inside the plane shows the oxygen masks deployed for the emergency landing . Emergency vehicles queued up on the Ataturk runway to greet the landing of the on-fire plane . The fire was extinguished on landing, and the plane was evacuated of 97 passengers . On March 30, a Turkish Airlines flight made an emergency landing after a note with the word 'bomb' was reportedly found in the toilet. The flight from Istanbul scheduled for Sao Paulo, Brazil touched down in Casablanca, Morocco after declaring an emergency over North Africa. The airline confirmed the Boeing 777 with the flight number TK15 was carrying 256 people and made a diversion due to a 'bomb threat'. It was the second incident in the space of two days where a Turkish Airlines flight out of Istanbul was the subject of a bomb threat. Flight TK-52 from Istanbul to Tokyo was forced to land at Ataturk Airport after the words 'C4-Cargo' were discovered written in the toilet. The words relate to the plastic explosive C-4.

(CNN)Seventy years ago, Anne Frank died of typhus in a Nazi concentration camp at the age of 15. Just two weeks after her supposed death on March 31, 1945, the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp where she had been imprisoned was liberated -- timing that showed how close the Jewish diarist had been to surviving the Holocaust. But new research released by the Anne Frank House shows that Anne and her older sister, Margot Frank, died at least a month earlier than previously thought. Researchers re-examined archives of the Red Cross, the International Training Service and the Bergen-Belsen Memorial, along with testimonies of survivors. They concluded that Anne and Margot probably did not survive to March 1945 -- contradicting the date of death which had previously been determined by Dutch authorities. In 1944, Anne and seven others hiding in the Amsterdam secret annex were arrested and sent to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Anne Frank's final entry . That same year, Anne and Margot were separated from their mother and sent away to work as slave labor at the Bergen-Belsen camp in Germany. Days at the camp were filled with terror and dread, witnesses said. The sisters stayed in a section of the overcrowded camp with no lighting, little water and no latrine. They slept on lice-ridden straw and violent storms shredded the tents, according to the researchers. Like the other prisoners, the sisters endured long hours at roll call. Her classmate, Nannette Blitz, recalled seeing Anne there in December 1944: "She was no more than a skeleton by then. She was wrapped in a blanket; she couldn't bear to wear her clothes anymore because they were crawling with lice." Listen to Anne Frank's friends describe her concentration camp experience . As the Russians advanced further, the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp became even more crowded, bringing more disease. A deadly typhus outbreak caused thousands to die each day. Typhus is an infectious disease caused by lice that breaks out in places with poor hygiene. The disease causes high fever, chills and skin eruptions. "Because of the lice infesting the bedstraw and her clothes, Anne was exposed to the main carrier of epidemic typhus for an extended period," museum researchers wrote. They concluded that it's unlikely the sisters survived until March, because witnesses at the camp said the sisters both had symptoms before February 7. "Most deaths caused by typhus occur around twelve days after the first symptoms appear," wrote authors Erika Prins and Gertjan Broek. The exact dates of death for Anne and Margot remain unclear. Margot died before Anne. "Anne never gave up hope," said Blitz, her friend. "She was absolutely convinced she would survive." Her diary endures as one of the world's most popular books.

Ibrox has been a happy hunting ground for the Edinburgh clubs this season. Three league visits have been made. Three defeats inflicted on Rangers. Stuart McCall believes his side now owe it to their fans to amend that record in their final chance of the regular season when Hearts come calling on Sunday. The Tynecastle side won 2-1 on their previous trip to Govan last August, while Hibernian have racked up 3-1 and 2-0 victories. Rangers boss Stuart McCall wants to win one visit from an Edinburgh club at Ibrox this season . However, a 2-0 success at Easter Road 12 days ago could have marked a turning point for Rangers in their previously flagging push for promotion. And McCall believes a significant home victory over the Championship title winners would be the ideal confidence boost for his play-off hopefuls. ‘There will be a big crowd there on Sunday and we owe the fans a real morale-boosting victory, we got that at Easter Road and it would be nice to turn over Hearts as well,’ he told the Rangers website. ‘I want to see a good energetic confident performance and to go toe-to-toe with a very good side. But I believe we are a very good side when we play our best. ‘I will have a few headaches running up to Sunday regarding team selection, people seem to think there will be three at the back the same as at Hibs, but Hearts are a very different side. Danny Wilson scores the opening goal as Hearts beat Rangers at Ibrox back in August . ‘This game isn’t how people thought it would be at the beginning of the season and if you look at the consistency they’ve shown then it is full credit to them. ‘They will have had all the plaudits and rightly so, but it’s all about us on Sunday and we have a long way to go this season. ‘We want to keep the momentum going and keep the belief in each other. It’s about looking around the dressing room now and knowing you can trust your team-mates, knowing that he is going to go to the end for you and get that ball for you. ‘There if one thing every successful side needs and it is togetherness and a good work ethic – hopefully we are getting that and added to that is confidence and good quality players. ‘We aren’t getting carried away and I am sure there will be one or two ups and downs towards the end of the season. ‘But it’s what happens at the end of the season and Sunday will be a big stepping stone for us.’ Kenny Miller celebrates after scoring against Edinburgh club Hibernian at Easter Road . McCall views Hearts’ 2-0 win over Rangers at Tynecastle in November – when Steven Smith was sent off during the first half – as a pivotal moment in the season. ‘Hearts are incredible, they’ve got 81 points out of 90 and everyone knows how well they’ve done,’ added McCall, who took over from Kenny McDowall last month. ‘They have been playing at such a high level all season - their consistency levels, the amount of goals they’ve scored and their fitness levels. ‘I certainly thought it was a turning point in November when we went there; we were the better side for half an hour and then a sending off changed the game. ‘It went from us being three points behind to nine points and gave them that confidence and knocked us out of our stride a little bit and they have just gone from strength to strength.’

A Tennessee high school's football coach was assaulted in his office Tuesday, allegedly by a student who'd inquired about trying out for the team. Ron Aydelott, head coach for the Riverdale High School Warriors in Murfreesboro for nearly ten years, suffered serious facial injuries in the attack, which will require surgery. Witnesses said Aydelott in no way provoked the attack but that the 17-year-old alleged attacker became violent after he felt 'disrespected,' reports News Channel Five Network. Scroll down for video . Attacked: Ron Aydelott, head coach for the Riverdale High School Warriors in Murfreesboro for nearly ten years, suffered serious facial injuries after being attacked by a 17-year-old student Tuesday . 'He basically just got attacked,' principal Tom Nolan told the Daily News Journal. 'The kid just went nuts on him. Coach Aydelott was sitting down at his desk and the guy just kept whaling on him. 'He finally stopped. The kid then walked into the office, put his hands behind his back and surrendered.' The boy was reportedly in the coach's office in order to turn in paperwork concerning his trying out for the team. The student was arrested by a school resource officer and charged with aggravated assault, according to a statement from the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department. 'It's been pretty crazy since that [the alleged assault] happened,' student Jasper Hold told News Channel Five. 'A kid came in and I guess they got into it and ended up fighting.' 'He basically just got attacked,' Murfreesboro's Riverdale High School principal Tom Nolan said. 'The kid just went nuts on him. Coach Aydelott was sitting down at his desk and the guy just kept whaling on him.' Longtime coach: Aydelott has been a coach at Riverdale nearly 10 years. Prior to that, he coached football at Hillsboro High nearer to Nashville . In addition to coaching Riverdale's football team, Aydelott teaches driver's education classes . Aydelott was transported to a hospital then transferred to Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. 'He will have to undergo some surgery,' Nolan said. 'We're just in total shock.' The boy is due back in court Wednesday, where he'll learn whether he'll be held as a juvenile offender or adult. According to WKRN, the student has no history of disciplinary problems at the school. As for Coach Aydelott, students were sending their positive thoughts in the hope he'll be back to normal soon. 'I hope he makes it through because he was my teacher for a time and he was pretty nice to me and to my other fellow students. So I hope that he gets better soon,' student Kera Pasquerilla said. 'He will have to undergo some surgery': The longtime coach suffered serious facial injuries . Police say the parent, Annika McKenzie, 34, walked into Alverta B. Gray Schultz Middle School in Hempstead, New York last week without being cleared by security and waited in the hallway for her daughter's math teacher, Catherine Engelhardt. McKenzie believed Engelhardt had 'put her hands' on her 12-year-old daughter earlier in the day, according to ABC 7. Engelhardt refused to speak with McKenzie, telling her to first get a security pass. A fight then ensued. Authorities say the teacher was shoved against the wall, placed in a headlock and thrown to the floor. Several students also became involved in the attack, including McKenzie's 14-year-old niece. Another teacher was able to break up the melee and attend to Engelhardt. She was unconscious for several minutes and rushed to Winthrop University Hospital.

Ambulance bosses are routinely making a 21,500-mile round trip to Australia to hire paramedics on £4,500 ‘golden hello’ payments because it is far cheaper than training them in Britain. Managers from the London Ambulance Service, the largest in the NHS, have just filled 225 vacant posts with applicants from Sydney and Melbourne. They were recruited on the back of a series of practical demonstrations on dummies, a written exam and an interview that lasted in all between four and six hours. Ambulance bosses are routinely making a 21,500-mile round trip to Australia to hire paramedics on £4,500 ‘golden hello’ payments . The selection process, held at five-star hotels, was so quick that by 8am the next day applicants had received an email informing them if they had a job. It is the latest example of how the NHS is recruiting overseas because it has failed to train enough staff in Britain to meet the needs of the rising and ageing population. Hospital managers have been flying out to Spain and Portugal to hire batches of 30 nurses at a time. The ambulance service is also severely understaffed and, across England, around 1,250 posts are unfilled – a tenth of what is needed. The Mail attended a fast-track recruitment event last month at the five-star Sydney Harbour Marriott Hotel, overlooking the famous Opera House. Our investigation discovered how: . Growing numbers of paramedics are quitting the NHS. Many are frustrated at having to spend hours queuing outside A&E units which are too full to accept their patients. They are also being called out to a growing number of non-urgent calls from patients unable to see a GP. The selection process, held at five-star hotels, was so quick that by 8am the next day applicants had received an email informing them if they had a job . The increasing demand on ambulances means they are taking longer to reach the seriously ill. As a result, many paramedics are choosing to take up posts as ‘advanced practitioners’ in A&E, GP surgeries and call centres for the 111 helpline where the work is less stressful and they can earn more. London Ambulance Service has been the hardest hit by this exodus. Currently 340 posts are vacant, a fifth of the total workforce needed. Last year alone more than 230 paramedics quit. However, Australia has a surplus.Other understaffed ambulance services in the UK are also going abroad, including to Poland. As well as the 225 paramedics hired from Australia last month, London Ambulance Service hired 175 from there and New Zealand in September. Managers are considering flying out again later this year and calculate that the first recruitment drive saved the NHS £9million. It costs £50,000 to train one paramedic in Britain. Each trip to Australia costs the ambulance service £90,000 in flights and hotel bills, but they return having hired on average 200 paramedics. They are offered a £30,200 salary including London weighting. Jason Killens, director of operations at London Ambulance Service, said: ‘It’s not our long-term solution but is helping us fill a skills shortage while we train more people to become paramedics in the UK.’ He said the paramedics had initially been filtered via an online form. Tim Jones is one of the many Australians being lured to Britain to work as a paramedic. He will join the London Ambulance Service when he finishes his degree course in October. The 22-year-old said it was ‘exciting helping people’, but also hopes it will enable him to see more of Europe. He said: ‘It was pitched as a lifestyle and a job – they really sold it to me.’ He said friends who were offered jobs in September ‘are absolutely loving it’ – including having the chance to see the Tour de France. A lifestyle and a job: Tim Jones, left, during a skills test last month held at Sydney Harbour Marriot Hotel . Kate Tranter and fiancé Will Skelly, from Sydney, will move over together in the hope of furthering their careers. Miss Tranter said: ‘We are big travellers so it will be a good adventure together. We will spend a minimum of two years there.’ Mr Skelly said: ‘I’ve always wanted to go to London as a paramedic because you get a variety of work and then you can shoot off to Spain for the weekend.’ Celia Potter, 23, from Katoomba in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, said she was encouraged to move to London after talking to friends given jobs in September. She said: ‘One friend said they are thrown straight into it, but you also get a mentor for the first year which is good.’

Managers from the London Ambulance Service just filled 225 vacant posts . Applicants all from Sydney and Melbourne recruited after one day of tests . Latest example of how NHS recruits overseas as it fails to train staff in UK . Hospital managers have been hiring batches of 30 nurses on trips to Spain . Paramedics are being offered £4,500 ‘golden hellos’ if they agree to move to Britain within three months. Managers are so anxious to fill posts that 91 per cent of those who turned up to assessments were offered jobs. Applicants told the Mail they had been promised a ‘new lifestyle’ that would enable them to gain valuable experience, visit distant relatives and ‘shoot off’ to Spain for the weekend. The few paramedics who didn’t get jobs when managers first flew out in September were so keen they returned for the latest round of recruitment days – and vowed to turn up a third time if they still weren’t hired. Managers claim they can save the NHS £9million by flying out to Australia rather than training paramedics in Britain.

A Utah man is thankful he is alive after he claims a Delta Airlines plane flew over his home when a large chunk of ice dropped from the aircraft shattering his car's windshield. Todd Larson, 55, told Daily Mail Online he had parked his collectible Dodge Challenger worth $30,000 in the driveway of his Taylorsville home on March 25 when moments later an ice chunk crashed onto his car at 1.53am. 'It hit so hard that four or five neighbors' car alarms went off,' he told Daily Mail Online. 'It missed going through my roof by only inches and if I had stayed in the car and answered by son’s message about picking him up, that piece of ice would have gone right through my chest.' Todd Larson said a chunk of ice fell from a plan smashing through the windshield of his Dodge Challenger parked at his Taylorsville, Utah home (above his damaged Dodge Challenger) He said the FAA did an investigation and found an A1 aircraft that matched within two minutes of the time the incident happened and when the plane was flying above his home . Mr Larson said two minutes later at 1.55am he called police to file the report of the ice chunk falling through his car's windshield, which he believes came from a Delta Airlines A1 aircraft. He earlier told Fox 13 there were four Delta Air Line flights in the area when the incident occurred, according to a representative for the Federal Aviation Administration. On Friday afternoon, Mr Larson told Daily Mail Online that the FAA did an investigation and learned that on March 26 an aircraft within two minutes of the time of incident was in the area above his home. 'The investigator cannot give me the flight number but the time it happened matched within two minutes that the plane was overhead,' he said. 'What caught my attention was that as he turned the plane and put his spoiler down, you could hear the engine change, and I looked up and saw that it was a Delta plane. 'Then I heard a huge crash which sounded like a major car accident.' Mr Larson said the hole in his windshield is about 12.5 inches in length and that the size of the piece of ice that went through was the size of a cinder block. 'The pieces that broke up were the size of a grapefruit and the smaller ones were the size of golf balls,' he told Daily Mail Online. Mr Larson has already paid the $4,000 in repairs which included $400 for the windshield and additional costs for replacing his Bluetooth, emergency phone and electric power seat with a heater that were all damaged in the incident. 'When you’re retired and you have to take that big chunk of money out it makes a big difference in what you can do,' he said. 'You try and stay on a budget and you find a car that you really wanted and it’s damaged in this way. 'My insurance says yes they’ll fix it, but my agent explained to me what happens and told me to call FAA, and said if I didn’t make a claim my car would be worthless so I’m at Catch-22. 'I don’t know why they can’t admit what they did.' Mr Larson said the chunks of ice ranged in size from grapefruits to golf balls (above the chunks of ice following the incident) He said the hole in his windshield is about 12.5 inches in length and that the glass was shattered into a fine powder . Mr Larson said that he has contacted Delta Airlines and the person in charge of the aircraft has not returned his calls. He said they are meant to respond within ten working days, and that after giving them 15, he is left fed up. 'They don’t want to recognize it as their mistake that something happened from their plane,' he told Daily Mail Online. 'One of the people who did the preliminary investigation explained that if it was a part or a panel they are responsible, but ice is an "act of God" or cause of nature. 'I said it could be a malfunction in the plane and they won’t recognize that or give me a call back. 'I want them to admit that it was their fault.' Daily Mail Online calls to Delta Airlines on Friday were not immediately returned. Mr Larson said he wants Delta Airlines to admit the chunk of ice came from their aircraft. On Friday, he told Daily Mail Online he had not had calls returned from the person in charge of the airbus . An incident similar to Larson's occurred earlier this year, when large pieces of ice slammed down into a man's Chicago living room and bedroom, causing destruction including a massive hole in his ceiling. John Connors said apart from his cat Oscar being left scared, who was uninjured during the incident in January, if he had been home he would have been killed. 'I walked in and it looked like a bomb had exploded up in here,' Connors told WLS. At the time, pilot Scott Batzel told Lake View Patch that he thought the ice dropped through Connors' apartment because of a plane flying overhead. Batzel said: 'There’s a slight possibility the ice-ball fell from an airplane. It’s not a common occurrence but it does happen from time to time. 'It’s very likely that many arriving airplanes were operating in that vicinity.' He added: 'Some airplanes use potable water to flush the lavatory toilets. 'Normally the flushed waste is collected in a storage tank but if the tank was leaking, ice could have built up on the outside of the plane and eventually broke free.' In January, John Connors (pictured above with his cat Oscar) experienced a similar incident when ice pummeled through his Chicago apartment leaving his cat Oscar scared and a massive hole in his ceiling .

She's the clean eating food lover who has more than 102,000 followers on Instagram thanks to her healthy and delicious looking meals. But she has a secret weapon that most food bloggers don't have - when people aren't obsessing over her recipes, they're checking out her rock-hard abs. We're talking about Clean Eating Alice, the latest social media sensation to be making a name for herself by living a healthy life. Scroll down for video . Over the last year Alice (pictured before, left, and after, right) has completely transformed her body with the help of healthy eating and the LDN Muscle bikini guide . Alice Liveing, from Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, began her healthy journey just over a year ago. She said: 'After years of bad skin, constant fatigue and feeling uncomfortable about my appearance I decided to completely overhaul my approach to eating. 'I started experimenting with food, and found that simply changing what I ate for breakfast had a huge impact on my mood and energy for that day. 'The term [clean eating] is completely subjective and can mean different things to different people, but my interpretation of it was to develop a healthy relationship with food. 'I didn’t restrict myself or feel like I was dieting as such, and learnt how best to fuel my body with tasty and nutritious food.' In these Instagram snaps Alice shows off toned arms, something she said she had previously struggled with . Alice started sharing pictures of her meals on Instagram, which allowed her to take stock of what she was putting into her body. 'I remember a distinct turning point was when I began to post photos of my food on the social media platform Instagram,' she said. 'The idea that I would be making healthy food, and being able to log and share it on Instagram was nothing novel or new, but was helpful for me to keep track of what I was eating. 'I also found great pleasure in making my food look nice, as well as taste good. 'I am conscious that some people may find it annoying when their friends start posting foodie pics on social media, but however annoying they may find it, it is precisely what enabled me to find a healthy relationship with food and create new and delicious dishes that could then help others.' In this snap Alice shows off her figure in a pair of shorts ready for a New Year's Eve party . Of course you don't get a body like Alice's without putting in a lot of hard work. She revealed: 'I aim to go to the gym between four and six times a week, and follow the LDN Muscle Bikini Guide. 'I think one of the best things about this journey is that I found a way of exercising that I loved which I think is so important, and I have LDN Muscle to thank for that. 'I think that the way I look has gained me a few male admirers, but I try to avoid letting any of this attention go to my head!' On the LDN Muscle website, the weight training programme says it aims to promote a 'natural, lean and aesthetic physique'. But when it comes to health and fitness tips there is often only one question on her fans lips. She said: 'My most frequently asked questions are usually about how to poach an egg, which is always funny, and I guess I have my own technique that I am always happy to share.' Alice - who also uses the Healthy Selfie App to chart her progress - poses in the mirror showing off her extremely defined abs . Alice trains in the gym up to six times a week which is how she maintains her impressive body . She continued: 'Other questions usually focus on what exercise I do, and most notably what abdominal exercises I do. 'I try and answer all questions as I like to help people as best I can.' Alice says that it's been amazing to see her social media following grow and that in the future she would love to be the female Jamie Oliver. She said: 'I would love to bring healthy eating to the masses and be the female equivalent of Jamie Oliver. 'My food isn’t complicated, expensive or pretentious nor does it require ingredients that you can’t find in your local supermarket. 'I will be bringing out some recipe ebooks in partnership with LDN Muscle which will include breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas, as well as launching my YouTube channel and personal training. 'On top of all of this I am just about to graduate from Bird College where I have trained for three years as a musical theatre performer, and I am hoping to also pursue my dream to perform in the West End.' Alice says that what she eats changes every day: 'My recipes are usually created from what I fancy eating on a given day, and what I’ve got in the fridge. 'I usually take out all the ingredients I fancy and then try and think how I can create something tasty with them. 'My meals are always built around a protein source, so I usually start there, for example a chicken breast, or salmon and then try and pack in some veg, such as kale, spinach or broccoli, and then add a carb source, my favourite being sweet potato. 'I always try and experiment with seasoning too, so things like paprika, and turmeric to add some flavour.' She continued: 'In terms of avoiding foods, I stay away from refined sugars, and most processed foods, although I am a big bacon lover. 'Alcohol is something that I just make conscious decisions on now, so for example if I’m going to have a drink I’ll have a vodka and diet coke, rather than a brightly coloured alcho-pop. 'It’s all about not feeling restricted and instead just making better choices, and ultimately enjoying being fit and healthy.' Alice says that she likes to start her mornings with a breakfast such as this breakfast wrap made with egg white and crispy chorizo . Breakfast: . Healthy breakfast 'wrap' with spicy paprika egg white wrap, stuffed with crispy chorizo, avocado, rocket, red onion and tomatoes. For lunch Alice might enjoy a cauliflower rice, chicken sausages, toasted almonds, rocket and tomato salad . Lunch: .

Scientists have discovered an Achilles’ heel of prostate (pictured) cancer that could lead to better treatment for many men diagnosed with the disease . British scientists have discovered an ‘Achilles’ heel’ in prostate cancer which could lead to better treatments. The disease claims almost 11,000 lives a year in the UK, with most deaths occurring after it spreads around the body. The latest study gets to the root of this spread, and could mean better outcomes for the 42,000 men a year diagnosed with the illness. Scientists funded by Cancer Research UK studied samples taken from tumours in the prostate and around the body in ten affected men. Reading the DNA revealed details of how the cancer metastasises, or spreads, allowing them to build a ‘family tree’ of how the disease changes over time. It seems that most of the cells in a tumour stay where they are. However, a small number have the ability to travel through the body, creating new tumours as they go. These cells are the ‘root’ of the cancer and for a treatment to work, they should be destroyed. In future, doctors may be able to find these key cells in individual patients. They could then be given drugs to wipe them out, with each patient’s treatment tailored to the genetic flaw at the root of their cancer. This should kill the new tumours and prevent more from forming, greatly improving odds of survival. Cambridge University researcher Professor David Neal said some suitable drugs already exist, and that new ones are being developed all the time. However, he cautioned that it will be three to five years before the latest knowledge can be routinely put to use in the NHS. Lead study author Professor Ros Eeles, from the Institute of Cancer Research in London, said: ‘We gained a much broader view of prostate cancer by studying both the original cancer and the cells that had spread to other parts of the body. ‘We found that all of the cells that had broken free shared a common ancestor cell in the prostate. ‘The common faults we found in each man could potentially offer new targets for treatment.’ Co-author Dr Ultan McDermott, from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridgeshire, described the finding as a ‘potential Achilles’ heel’. Professor Peter Johnson, chief clinician at Cancer Research UK, said: ‘This research lets us look right into the molecular core of cancer.’ Samples were taken from tumours in the prostate and around the body in ten men with the disease (pictured). Reading the DNA revealed details of how the cancer metastasises - or spreads - allowing scientists to understand how the disease changes over time .

(CNN)The presence of a harmful pesticide at a luxury villa in the U.S. Virgin Islands may have resulted in the illness of a Delaware family, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Friday. Paramedics were called last week to a rented villa at the Sirenusa resort in St. John after the family of four fell ill. They had rented the villa from March 14 to March 22, and were later hospitalized. The illness was reported to the EPA on March 20. "Our preliminary results do show that there was a presence of methyl bromide in the unit where the family was staying," said Elias Rodriguez, an EPA spokesman. Exposure to methyl bromide can result in serious health effects, including central nervous system and respiratory system damage, according to the EPA. The use of the pesticide is restricted in the United States because of its acute toxicity. It's not allowed to be used indoors. Only certified professionals are permitted to use it in certain agricultural settings. "It's an ongoing investigation; we're still on the island doing our assessment," Rodriguez said. "We have been doing different types of air sampling and wipe sampling." Final test results were expected next week. The EPA is working with local government agencies to investigate whether the family was made ill after a fumigation at the resort on March 18 and whether any environmental regulations or laws were violated. "Pesticides can be very toxic, and it is critically important that they be applied properly and used only as approved by EPA," said Judith A. Enck, a regional administrator for the EPA. "The EPA is actively working to determine how this happened and will make sure steps are taken to prevent this from happening to others at these vacation apartments or elsewhere." Depending on the season, the luxury villa where the family stayed rents between $550 and $1,200 per night. Sea Glass Vacations, which acts as a rental agent for several units at Sirenusa, said that the unit directly below the one where the family stayed was recently treated for pests, but that their unit was not treated. The company said it licensed an outside company, Terminix, for the pest control services. "Sea Glass Vacations does not treat the units it manages for pests but instead relies on licensed professionals for pest control services," the company said in a statement. The U.S. Department of Justice has initiated a criminal investigation into the matter, according to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing made Monday by ServiceMaster Global Holdings, the parent company of Terminix. In an email to CNN, a spokesman for Terminix wrote that the company is "committed to performing all work ... in a manner that is safe for our customers, employees, the public and the environment" and is "looking into this matter internally, and cooperating with authorities." "We're thinking about the family, and we join the community in wishing them a speedy recovery," Terminix wrote. James Maron, an attorney who has been a spokesman for the family, has not responded to requests for comment. The SEC filing described the injuries to the family members as "serious."

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.

Premier League stars including Steven Gerrard, Theo Walcott and Phil Jones could face an advertising watchdog probe they plugged an Adidas sale on Twitter. Manchester City's David Silva and Everton's Phil Jagielka were also among around a dozen players sponsored by the firm who urged millions of followers to buy the knock-down goods. This comes amid mounting concern that celebrities and sports stars are cashing in by turning Twitter into an advertising platform. The players posted messages within minutes of each other yesterday, with Arsenal forward Walcott tweeting: 'For 25 hours you can get 25% discount on Adidas.co.uk if you use 'friendsoftheo'.' Premier League stars including Arsenal forward Theo Walcott (pictured) could face an advertising watchdog probe they plugged an Adidas sale on Twitter . Silva tweeted: 'Who is up for 25% savings on @adidas products? Click here to find out more! #friendsofdavid.' Guidance from the Advertising Standards Authority states that when there is payment and control from an advertiser, the sponsored tweet should be obviously identifiable. British celebrities have been advised to include the word 'ad' or 'spon' to show if something is an advert or sponsored. The watchdog has previously banned a Nike campaign featuring tweets from Wayne Rooney, one of its brand ambassadors, because they were not clearly identified as promotional messages. Players including Steven Gerrard (pictured) and Everton's Phil Jagielka were among around a dozen players sponsored by the firm who urged millions of followers to buy the knock-down goods . It was the first UK company to have a Twitter campaign banned, after the ASA ruled in 2012 that the use of the personal accounts of footballers broke the rules. The Manchester United striker, who has more than 11 million followers, tweeted: 'My resolution — to start the year as a champion, and finish it as a champion...#makeitcount gonike.me/makeitcount'. A tweet from Jack Wilshere said: 'In 2012, I will come back for my club — and be ready for my country.#makeitcount.gonike.me/Makeitcount'. Both footballers were banned from repeating the messages and Nike was warned about ensuring all Twitter advertising is easily identifiable. England footballer Phil Jones and Manchester City's David Silva posted messages within minutes of each other . But another one of Rooney's tweets was said to have not breached advertising rules because its language was markedly different from the footballer's usual Twitter messages. This tweet said: 'The pitches change. The killer instinct doesn't. Own the turf, anywhere. @NikeFootball #myground.' The Advertising Standards Authority has not yet received any complaints about the promotional tweets for Adidas. But a spokesman said: 'If we receive complaints that tweets have broken rules, we will investigate. 'Marketing communications must be obviously identifiable as such. 'If any social media account (including celebrity twitter accounts) are tweeting ads and it's not clear from the context that these are marketing communications then they need to be labelled as an ad.' Some fans saw straight through the players' Adidas tweets, with GX Blue ‏tweeting: 'I bet you David Silva didn't write that tweet himself!!' A spokesman for Adidas said: 'To our knowledge, there have not been any complaints about the tweets and we have not been contacted by the ASA with regards to this matter. 'This is a promotion we run several times a year in collaboration with our players to offer fans a sizeable discount and the tweets are clearly identifiable as marketing communication.'

Andy Hornby is non-executive chairman of Pharmacy 2U, which was found to be selling NHS patients' details on without their knowledge . The chairman of the online pharmacy site found to be selling NHS patients’ data without their knowledge is the shamed former chief executive of HBOS. A Mail investigation yesterday told how the personal details of thousands of users of Pharmacy 2U are being sold to companies that target the sick. Now we can reveal that at its helm is the disgraced banker Andy Hornby, who was in charge of HBOS when it collapsed in 2008. Mr Hornby last night faced calls to step down from his role as non-executive chairman of Pharmacy 2U and was condemned for profiting from the sale of his customers’ personal data. Many of those whose details he is selling on are some of the most vulnerable in society – either too ill to travel to their nearest surgery or the disabled. Others who use the NHS-approved pharmacy website used its online doctor consultations. Their details – which included email addresses and dates of birth – were passed on without proper consent. When Mr Hornby joined the company, the UK’s leading online pharmacy, in 2012, it said in a statement: ‘The imminent transition to electronic prescriptions across the NHS represents an exciting opportunity for Pharmacy 2U, and Andy’s insights and leadership will be of significant value.’ It is not known how much Mr Hornby – who works two to three days a week – is earning from the Leeds-based company, but it is thought he received a significant salary increase last year. He is also a principle shareholder. Dr Sarah Wollaston, the outgoing Tory chairman of the Commons health select committee, last night called for Mr Hornby to step down and for a criminal investigation into Pharmacy 2U. She said: ‘He should be called to account for what his company is doing and issue a public statement. He needs to be made to sit down and explain why patient information is being sold on.’ She added that the health select committee should launch an inquiry into the issue after the election. Pharmacy 2U, an online prescription service, sold details including the patients’ email addresses, dates of birth and date of their last prescriptions to marketing firms . Many of those whose details he is selling on are some of the most vulnerable in society – either too ill to travel to their nearest surgery or the disabled . Following the financial crash in the autumn of 2008, a devastating report by the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards accused Mr Hornby and fellow former bosses of ‘catastrophic failures’ as they presided over years of reckless lending. His current role is his third job since then. In 2011 he unexpectedly quit as £1million-a-year chief executive of healthcare group Alliance Boots, a move blamed on stress. Dr Sarah Wollaston, the outgoing Tory chairman of the Commons health select committee, called for Mr Hornby to step down . Four months later he became boss of Coral, a position he still holds. In 2013, he faced calls to quit amid reports the bookmaker was set for a £2billion flotation. Pharmacy 2U admitted that it had sold the names and addresses of ‘up to 5,000’ patients to data company Alchemy Direct but refused to say how much it had charged. It said it had decided to stop selling the information to Alchemy and stressed no medical data had been passed on. Last night Pharmacy 2U said that Mr Hornby is ‘not involved in day-to-day decisions about the running of the business’. A spokesman added: ‘We have asked the Information Commissioner’s Office to work with us to review our privacy policy and have also contacted the General Pharmaceutical Council, our industry regulator, and the NHS, to discuss this matter.’ NHS England said: ‘Any breach of confidentiality is totally unacceptable. This case will be reported to the Information Commissioner and General Pharmaceutical Council and there will be an immediate investigation.’

It's a common misconception that anyone can swan into their local fast food store and pick up a job serving food, flipping burgers or even mopping up spilled soft drinks. However, as Daily Mail Australia recently discovered, it's just not that easy, with potential workers required to pass detailed psychological questionnaires before they can secure an interview. KFC's quiz contains 30 questions, which mostly ask applicants to rank their response from 'strongly agree' to 'strongly disagree' to questions which to some, might not have an obvious answer. Scroll down for video . KFC's questionnaire contains a total of 30 questions which mostly ask applicants to rank their response from 'strongly agree' to 'strongly disagree' Head of Human Resources, Robert Phipps, assured it was designed to rank the thousands of applicants that apply fo jobs with the company . When Daily Mail Australia selected only negative answers, they received an email notifying them that their application had been unsuccessful less than 10 hours later . The questions seek guidance as to how potential employees might react in workplace situations. How would you respond if someone yells at you? What about a change in the workplace, how would you deal with it? Another question asked if it is 'okay for an employee to take a little food if they are underpaid'. KFC's  human resources boss, Robert Phipps, claimed the test was specially designed to rank the thousands of applications which apply for a job with the company. 'We want to get the best possible candidates that we can for our organisation,' Mr Phipps (pictured) said . 'I wouldn't say it's deeply scientific, but it's reasonably scientific,' Mr Phipps told Daily Mail Australia. 'We take a norm sample of what success would look like in the output of the questions, and essentially what it does for us is it gives us a better than normal chance of predicting success around work attributes like honesty, work ethic and whether someone is a team player,' Mr Phipps told Daily Mail Australia. 'It does provide a ranking system and we tend to take those up the top end of the ranking. I wouldn't say that you can fail, unless not getting the job is failing.' Mr Phipps said that the test was not anchored to a personality type, but rather different work styles. 'In terms of personality or what have you, any personality fits in well at our company and then we teach them skills, but it's a question of their values around work ethics that will help us,' he said. 'I wouldn't say it's deeply scientific, but it's reasonably scientific. We take a norm sample of what success would look like in the output of the questions, and essentially what it does for us is it gives us a better than normal chance of predicting success around work attributes like honesty, work ethic and whether someone is a team player,' Mr Phipps said . Mr Phipps said that the test was not anchored to a personality type, but rather different work styles . He estimated that only one third of applicants make it through to the interview process, with employee referrals being 'our number one method of recruitment' - and was unable to estimate how many were hired by the end of the recruitment procedures. 'When you look at our organisation globally, we actually hire a lot of people… we find that by taking an approach like that, and it's not the most difficult of tests, but to be able to do a basic screening test and get to the point where we want to get the best possible candidates that we can for our organisation and its best practice, so we apply it.' KFC's quiz also includes a few situational questions such as: 'Your manager just told you that you need to work this weekend. You have plans this weekend that you do not want to change. What would you do?' He estimated that only one third of applicants make it through to the interview process, with employee referrals being 'our number one method of recruitment' KFC's quiz also includes a few situational questions, however these are nowhere near as difficult as  the scenario questions in McDonald's 23-question multiple choice quiz . The fast food giant has a vigorous recruitment procedure in which applicants must pass a 23 question multiple choice quiz online before their application can be submitted . Contrastingly, some of the scenario questions in McDonald's 23-question multiple choice quiz are far more complicated. While the company says that the questionnaire is designed to 'help McDonald's understand the position in our team that suits you best', Daily Mail Australia has been told that applicants can easily fail the test. 'You are approached by a group of young kids while you are relaxing in the park. They want you to join them in a game of soccer. What are you likely to do?' one question reads, with answer options ranging from 'join in for a couple of minutes just to make them happy' and 'join in with them as you really enjoy playing with kids'. Another question asks: 'You find you have some time available to cook. What do you do?' Questions range from those any job seeker would expect to be asked during an interview, to multiple choice scenarios . When asked why they have decided to apply for a job at McDonaldns s, applicants have the option of selecting 'it'll make my parents happy' or 'it's easy to get a job at Macca's' More convoluted questions are also included in what appears to be an attempt to determine an applicant's personality . Answers range from 'make a meal you are very familiar with', 'grab a cookbook or download a new recipe to follow' or 'be creative and experiment with whatever you find in the kitchen'. The possible responses listed for one question, which describes a scenario in which a man trips and spills his shopping on the floor, differ only slightly. They include immediately helping the man, asking if he needs help and 'let the man know the same thing has happened to you and offer any assistance he needs'. But Mr Phipps said there were 'other stages to the recruitment process that are far more important than the first one' such as face-to-face interviews and trials at the work place. No doubt those who are more serious about securing a position would second guess what response would make the best impression . The answers listed for this question differ only minutely .

KFC and McDonald's require job applicants to fill out a detailed quiz . Questions ask 'Describe your interest in food' and ask if candidates agree that 'It's okay for an employee to take a little food if they are underpaid' Others describe scenarios and offer multiple choice responses . The tests are designed to rank workers by their values and work ethics .

An Iowa politician is on trial this week accused of sexually abusing his wife after doctors said she was no longer mentally capable of legally consenting to have sex. When Henry and Donna Lou Rayhons married seven years ago in their northern Iowa hometown, it was a second chance at love for the devoted couple, both previously widowed. But their domestic routine of church activities and political functions unraveled as Donna's health began to fail. Last year, the 78-year-old woman was moved into a nursing home, suffering from dementia and Alzheimers. According to Henry Rayhon's family, this was decided by her daughters from a previous marriage. Republican lawmaker Henry Rayhons, 78, is preparing to stand trial in Iowa for sexually assaulting his wife, who died last August, days before he was formally charged . Conflict developed over how to care for Donna Lou Rayhons, culminating in a meeting in which staff told Henry Rayhons that his wife was no longer mentally capable of legally consenting to have sex. State prosecutors say Henry Rayhons — a long-serving Republican state lawmaker — ignored that message. On Wednesday, he will stand trial for sexually assaulting his wife, who died last August. The charges were filed days after she died. Many couples experience the hardships of illness, mental decline and living apart, but what happened with the Rayhons has little precedent. Experts could not think of another rape case that happened because a previously consenting spouse could no longer legally acquiesce. 'This is the first one I've seen,' said Mark Kosieradzki, a Minneapolis-based attorney who has tried numerous cases of sexual abuse in nursing homes. 'It's a case that's going to be focusing on the rights of the vulnerable. Just because you're married, it doesn't mean you need to check your consent rights at the door.' Through an attorney, Donna Lou Rayhons' daughters declined to discuss the case. The state Attorney General's office also declined. And Henry Rayhons, who has said that he is innocent, refused an interview through a son. Henry and Donna Lou Rayhons married seven years ago in their northern Iowa hometown, but their domestic routine of church activities and political functions unraveled as Donna's health began to fail . Last summer, when the charges were first filed, Henry Rayhons' family released a statement. 'Donna's location did not change Dad's love for Donna nor her love for him. It did not change their marriage relationship. And so he continued to have contact with his spouse in the nursing home; who among us would not,' read the statement, which went on to call the charges 'illogical and unnatural.' The crux of the case is the question of Donna Lou Rayhons' ability to consent. Iowa law defines an act as sexual abuse in the third degree if the two parties are not living together as husband and wife and if one person 'is suffering from a mental defect or incapacity which precludes giving consent.' Elizabeth Edgerly, a clinical psychologist who serves as chief program officer for the nonprofit Alzheimer's Association, said determining capacity is challenging. 'Is the person capable of saying no if they don't want to do something? That's one of the biggest pieces,' said Edgerly, who frequently lectures on sexuality and Alzheimer's. Rayhons is charged with sexual abuse in the third degree and could serve up to ten years in prison if convicted . But Edgerly also noted that patients can vary day to day and said that physical closeness can be reassuring to many, noting: 'For most people with dementia, even long into the disease, they take comfort in being with people who love them.' Rayhons is charged with sexual abuse in the third degree and could serve up to ten years in prison if convicted. Shortly before the charges were filed, Rayhons withdrew from a race to serve a tenth term in the Iowa House of Representatives. The Iowa attorney general's office sought to move the trial out of Hancock County, where Rayhons lives, arguing that they would not be able to find an impartial jury after the extensive news coverage. But a judge denied the request. Court documents provide a window into the bitter case, which has left a blended family divided. In late March of last year, Donna Lou Rayhons moved to a nursing home in Garner. The clashes over her care built until a meeting in May during which Henry Rayhons was informed of his wife's inability to consent. Suffering from dementia and Alzheimers, Donna Lou Rayhons was moved into a nursing home by her daughters from a previous marriage last year and she died in August . According to court documents, Henry Rayhons entered his wife's room about a week later, pulled the curtains around her bed and a roommate heard noises that suggested sexual activity. As Rayhons left, he dropped undergarments in a laundry basket. Not long after that incident, one of Donna Rayhons' adult daughters went to court and won temporary guardianship. A state crime lab found semen stains on Donna Lou Rayhons' quilt and a sheet that matched Henry Rayhons' genetic profile. The charging document says he confessed to sexual activity that night, but in an interview last year on the Dr. Drew On Call show on the HLN network, his son Dale Rayhons said the police interview was taken out of context. Dale Rayhons said in a recent statement to The Associated Press that he supports his father, adding that: 'to have found love and companionship this late in their lives was an extraordinary and special thing for both Dad and Donna.'

Tottenham are tracking Dynamo Kiev forward Andriy Yarmolenko as they step up their summer transfer plans. Mauricio Pochettino has admitted his scouts are already working behind the scenes on finalising the club's targets ahead of next season. And Ukrainian forward Yarmolenko is emerging as a realistic target for the White Hart Lane club. Tottenham are eyeing a move for Dynamo Kiev's Andriy Yarmolenko, eluding Fiorentina's Marcos Alonso . Paris St-Germain are also watching the Ukrainian star but Spurs scouts have tracked him this season . Tottenham have watched the 25-year-old extensively in recent weeks ahead of a potential summer swoop.

England's premier bowler Jimmy Anderson suffered a frustrating day in his bid to become his country's all-time leading wicket taker in his 100th Test appearance in Antigua. But pace attack colleague Chris Jordan believes the Anderson family celebration party is 'just around the corner' as West Indies fell to 155 for four in response to England's first-innings total of 399. Anderson, watched by his parents, wife, two daughters and agent and needing four wickets to overtake the great Sir Ian Botham's haul of 383, claimed only one early victim in West Indies opener Devon Smith in his 13 overs, which went for 24 runs and eight maidens. Jimmy Anderson moved to within two wickets of Sir Ian Botham's record of 383 Test wickets . Anderson could only take the one wicket on day two of the first Test in Antigua . But even the England back-room staff were surprised that Anderson bowled just four overs in the last session of play with team-mates Jordan, Stuart Broad and James Tredwell sharing the other wickets to fall. It could have been better but a Ben Stokes wicket was ruled a no ball. Jordan took a stunning slip catch off Tredwell to dismiss West Indies vice-captain Kraigg Brathwaite, who claimed after play that he thought Anderson ' looked tired'. But Jordan said: 'Jimmy got us off and running with the first wicket and the rest of us tried to back that up, which I thought we did pretty well. If he keeps doing that and bowling the way he does those wickets are just around the corner. Chris Jordan jumps for joy after taking the wicket of Darren Bravo on the second afternoon . Jordan appeals for an lbw against West Indian batsman Kraigg Brathwaite, but it was unsuccessful . 'The stat is obviously there but I don't think Jimmy or any of us are going about our cricket or thinking about things differently. 'We're just trying to group balls as a bowling unit and create pressure. 'As a group we try and win every session, so we'll come back as hard as we can to break this partnership then make inroads into the tail.' Ironically, No 11 Anderson and Jordan were the pick of the lower-order England batsman in a last-wicket partnership of 38 as the West Indies bowling attack, inspired by a talk from bowling coach Sir Curtly Ambrose, captured the last five wickets for 58. West Indies opener Brathwaite did a good job of seeing off Anderson in a challenging first spell and though he eventually fell for 39, he enjoyed the test. Jordan later took a stunning catch at first slip off Tredwell's bowling to dismiss Brathwaite . 'Obviously when Anderson started with the new ball it was moving a lot, so facing him then was a little more challenging. 'But obviously he bowled a couple of overs before lunch as well so I don't know if maybe he was a little bit tired. 'It was a good challenge facing him when the ball is swinging both ways. The key is to keep as still as possible.' Brathwaite's knock would probably have lasted longer had anyone other than the athletic Jordan been stationed at slip, where he claimed a superb one-handed catch inches off the ground. Jordan is, of course, Barbados born - a fact not lost on Brathwaite. 'It was CJ who caught me, a fella from here, so it was quite unlucky.' About his catch, Jordan said: ' It was a reaction one but it rivals my best at this level.'

Jimmy Anderson claimed his 381st Test wicket on Tuesday in Antigua . The 32-year-old dismissed Devon Smith for 10 on day two of first Test . Anderson is still two wickets behind Sir Ian Botham's record of 383 . Chris Jordan says that the record is 'just around the corner'

Former Chelsea star Michael Essien's £75,000 Range Rover Vogue has been stolen from the driveway of his Surrey home. Burglars targeted the property, in Cobham where Chelsea's training ground is based, and made off with the 4x4. Ghana midfielder Essien, 32, left the Blues for Italian club AC Milan in January 2014 but still owns the property purchased during his time at Stamford Bridge.

Hitting out: Justin Welby said the students killed in Kenya by Islamic militants were 'martyrs' THE Archbishop of Canterbury will today hail the students killed by Islamist militants in Kenya last week as ‘martyrs’, as Church leaders and politicians use Easter to condemn persecution of Christians. Justin Welby will say in his Easter sermon that 148 Christian students slaughtered by Somali gunmen on Thursday were ‘witnesses’ to their faith and suffered ‘cruel deaths’. His comments follow Pope Francis’s denunciation of the ‘senseless’ killings at Garissa University College, in which Christians were singled out and shot. The Pope said in a Good Friday service in Rome that too many were guilty of a ‘complicit silence’ in the face of such attacks. In an overtly religious Easter message, David Cameron says it was ‘truly shocking’ that Christians were still tortured or killed because of their faith in much of the world. Their outspoken comments came as three people were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the attack in the north-east of Kenya, bringing the total number of suspects being held to five. The Kenyan Government said the three, who were trying to cross into Somalia, are associates of Mohamed Mohamud, a former teacher at a Kenyan Madrassa Islamic school, who is believed to have co-ordinated the attack. Meanwhile, a survivor of the killings was found yesterday two days after the massacre. Cynthia Charotich, 19, hid in cupboard and covered herself with clothes, refusing to emerge when classmates came out of hiding at the demand of the Al-Shabaab gunmen. Archbishop Welby will also refer in his sermon in Canterbury Cathedral to other Christians killed in massacres, including in Libya, saying: ‘There have been so many martyrs in the last year.’ 148 Christian studentsat Garissa University College, Kenya, were slaughtered by Somali gunmen on Thursday.

David Cameron has brushed off criticism that he is too posh, insisting he will not change the way he acts or speaks to win voters. The Prime Minister is apparently so proud to be posh he was happy to be pictured eating a hotdog with a knife and fork. The bizarre dining etiquette during a campaign visit to Dorset was almost certainly designed to avoid a repeat of Ed Miliband's disastrous attempt at eating a bacon sandwich. Scroll down for video . David Cameron ate his hotdog with cutlery as he enjoyed lunch with Lilli Docherty and her daughter Dakota in the sunshine during a visit to Poole in Dorset . It seems likely that Mr Cameron was trying to avoid the fate of Labour leader Ed Miliband, who was much mocked for his attempt to eat a bacon sandwich on the campaign trail last year . Few people can appear attractive while eating in public, but on the campaign trail a combination of hunger and not wishing to cause offence to hosts means it can be tricky to avoid. Mr Cameron's pitstop at a garden in Poole, Dorset yesterday include a spot of a lunch. The Tory leader loaded his plate with potato salad, cucumber, tomato and a hotdog before settling down next to Lilli Docherty and her daughter Dakota. But he surprised onlookers with his eating style, picking up a knife and fork to chop the hotdog. The PM has a chequered history with hotdogs. In 2010 he caused offence on a visit to New York when he asked for a plain sausage, without even onions. And in March 2012 he was said to have tried eating one sideways while at a basketball game with President Obama. He also sparked a mini-storm after opting for ketchup of mustard, the condiment of choice for many Americans. The Prime Minister obviously enjoyed his lunch, and was pictured leaning back in his chair in the sunshine . In a new interview the Old Etonian insists he has never tried to hide his privileged upbringing, and refuses to change the way he speaks or behaves . While aides may worry about the impression Mr Cameron gave by eating his BBQ food with cutlery, the man himself is unconcerned. In an interview to be broadcast tonight, he makes clear he is not going to change the way he behaves to hide his 'poshness'. The Old Etonian insists he has never tried to hide his privileged upbringing. He tells ITV's Tonight programme: 'I went to a very posh school, I had a very privileged upbringing with parents who were incredibly loving and brilliant. 'I've never tried to hide that, I'm not going to change my accent or talk in a different way.'

Mr Cameron adds: 'I accept we need to do more to demonstrate that the economy we're delivering, the jobs, the tax reductions the homes we're building, the schools that are getting better. 'That is for people who work hard, who do the right thing. That is not for some sort of them and us economy, it is for hard working people. 'That's what I have been doing for the last four and a half years. But I accept, in politics, perceptions matter as well as reality and you have to, we've got to work harder to get that right.'

Lancashire have signed Australia all-rounder James Faulkner as their overseas player for the bulk of this summer. Faulkner will arrive after his Indian Premier League commitments to replace compatriot Peter Siddle, who will play in the Red Rose's first four LV= County Championship matches before joining the Australia squad. Faulkner was named man of the match as his country beat New Zealand to win the World Cup last month, taking three for 36 to help bowl the Black Caps out for 183 in a seven-wicket victory. Australia World Cup winner James Faulkner has signed a deal to join Lancashire for the bulk of this summer . He said: 'Lancashire is a huge county with a fine history in the game and I am looking forward to joining the squad next month. 'Playing in English conditions will benefit my career and I cannot wait to work with Ashley (Giles) and the rest of the team.' Lancashire head coach Giles added: 'James is a world-class cricketer and we are absolutely thrilled to bring him to Lancashire. Faulkner will join up with the county side following his Indian Premier League commitments . 'While he is better known at the moment for his performances in white ball cricket his record in first-class cricket is fantastic. 'Having James available for all cricket is a real boost for the club and I'm certain all Lancashire cricket fans will be delighted at the prospect of watching him play at Emirates Old Trafford this season.'

(Billboard)The key to rock's longevity is it never defines itself into irrelevance. So while there were some loud, dirty guitars at the 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cleveland on Saturday night, there was as much recognition for rock's antecedents in soul and blues, speaking less to a particular taxonomy than a spirit that's beyond words. It's easy to talk of such spirit when Paul McCartney is there to honor Ringo Starr, and Yoko Ono is on hand as well. Speaking briefly backstage, Ono expressed feeling that it was wonderful for Starr to be honored, "just sad John and George aren't here," referring to her late husband John Lennon and Beatles guitarist and fellow songwriter George Harrison. Starr was certainly happy to be there — after a long wait, he's the final Beatle to be inducted as a solo act. "I've finally been invited, and I love it," said the 74-year-old drummer. "I got lucky, and it was actually in Cleveland," he said to enormous applause. Fifty-one years earlier, Starr had been in town to play the very same Hall; he admitted backstage that he didn't remember the cops stopping the show during "All My Loving" and making the Beatles return to the dressing room for ten minutes until the fans could be calmed. Starr said in a backstage interview that he couldn't recall the incident specifically, but admitted that there had been a lot of shows in between. "I'll remember this one," he promised. Others receiving Rock Hall honors included Paul Butterfield Blues Band, early soul act The 5 Royales, singer Bill Withers, punk rockers Green Day, Lou Reed, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts and Stevie Ray Vaughan. It was a night for the young to honor the old and perhaps prepare for a later visit. John Mayer hailed his longtime idol, the late Vaughan, in a heartfelt speech. John Legend came out to honor Bill Withers with a performance of "Use Me" backed by Stevie Wonder, who inducted Withers. The two then shared "Lean on Me," until Legend went and pulled Withers to the front of the stage to join them. Beck, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bill Withers, Seymour Stein hit Rock Hall's weekend festivities . The 76-year old soul legend hasn't performed live in many years but had hinted in the months leading up to the induction ceremonies that he might sing once more. Withers sounded great, though he may have an even brighter future in stand-up. "This has got to be the biggest AA meeting [in the] Western hemisphere," said Withers, alluding to an earlier moment in the show when Jimmie Vaughan confessed, "I taught my brother guitar, and he taught me how to get sober." He called being inducted by Wonder, "A lion holding the door for a kitty cat." The moment of relative levity was welcome after moving tributes paid to the late Lou Reed by Patti Smith and Reed's widow, music artist Laurie Anderson, who shared the three rules for life that they came up with: "One: don't be afraid of anyone; Two: get a really good b------t detector and learn how to use it; Three: be really, really tender." Smith had to push back tears on at least three occasions. She recalled a night when they wound up in the same hotel and Reed invited her up. She found him in the tub dressed in black and she sat on the toilet and talked with him. Green Day was inducted by Fall Out Boy, who referenced the length of some of the speeches. Cracked Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump: "I feel like I'm in a line at the DMV." As one of the youngest acts, it's not surprising they gave one of the two most exciting performances of the evening. Rock Hall induction ceremony: Lou Reed 'would be amused,' says sister . The other belonged to Tom Morello, Doyle Bramhall II and Zac Brown with harmonica player Jason Ricci performing "Born in Chicago" in tribute to the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. Not only did Ricci slay, but Morello played a nasty scabrous solo that raised the hairs on your arm, it was so alive. Miley Cyrus inducted Joan Jett in her own inimitable way, recalling a time she walked in on Jett smoking pot and being so turned on by her strength, wisdom and soul that the young pop star wanted to have sex with the legendary rocker. Jett joined the Blackhearts and Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl for a mini-set that include such classics as "Bad Reputation," the Runaways' "Cherry Bomb" and "Crimson and Clover," the Tommy James & the Shondelles cover that Jett took to No. 1. It was that kind of a night, and it closed with a rousing version of the Beatles' "I Want to Be Your Man," where just about everybody who could make it out on stage did, including a near-end guitar scrum/lead-off between Gary Clark Jr., Morello, Zac Brown and Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Nick Zinner. ©2015 Billboard.

Various types of renewable energy such as solar and wind are often touted as being the solution to the world’s growing energy crisis. But one researcher has come up with a novel idea that could trump them all - a biological solar panel that works around the clock. By harnessing the electrons generated by plants such as moss, he said he can create useful energy that could be used at home or elsewhere. A University of Cambridge scientist has revealed his green source of energy. By using just moss he is able to generate enough power to run a clock (shown). He said panels of plant material could power appliances in our homes. And the technology could help farmers grow crops where electricity is scarce . Dr Paolo Bombelli will present his research as part of the Pint of Science festival, which is running from 18 to 20 May in 50 cities across nine countries. His idea is relatively simple - by wiring up plants to an electro-chemical system, he is able to harness the waste electrons and energy produced during the photosynthesis process. And the results are surprisingly efficient. He demonstrated how a smartphone-sized block of moss could be used to power a digital clock. The Pint of Science festival is taking place from Monday 18 to Wednesday 20 May 2015. It sees scientists of various disciplines give talks in pubs around the world, with topics ranging from the brain to space, that the public can attend for £3 - the ‘price of a pint’. Dr Paolo Bombelli, with his moss-powered clock, is one of the scientists taking part. This year more than 600 science evenings will take place in 50 cities across nine countries. Cities in the UK include Bristol, London, Manchester and Southampton. A full schedule can be found on their website. An A4-sized area of leaves - about 93 square inches (600 square centimetres) - could charge four AA batteries in one hour on a typical sunny day. Dr Bombelli said his inspiration came from the movie The Matrix. ‘In that movie, they try to generate electrical energy, power, from humans,’ he explained. ‘And although it was a bit crude, the concept is actually correct. ‘But there are perhaps less ethical issues if you take electrons from photosynthetic organisms than humans.’ The apparatus required is also relatively simple - cables, some water and a plant. At the moment, Dr Bombelli is trying to find a way to increase the ‘flux’ of electrons emitted by a plant, making more energy available. ‘If we can crack this, we can get a very large flux of electrons coming out, then we can build a biological solar panel,’ he told MailOnline. Dr Bombelli said his inspiration came from the 1999 movie The Matrix. ‘In that movie, they try to generate electrical energy, power, from humans,’ he explained, shown in this image from the movie. 'But there are perhaps less ethical issues if you take electrons from photosynthetic organisms than humans' An A4-sized area of leaves - about (93 square inches (600 square centimetres) - could charge four AA batteries in one hour on a typical sunny day. The ultimate goal is to develop panels that generate five watts per square metre (11 square ft). By comparison, a solar panel generates 150 to 200 watts per square metre . Dr Paolo Bombelli presented his research at a preview of the Pint of Science festival (left). He is adamant that regular moss (stock image right) could provide an additional source of renewable energy to complement others that are available . For example, he said people could have one of these panels on the roof of their house to power certain appliances in their home. The goal is to generate up to five watts per square metre (11 square feet). By comparison, a solar panel generates 150 to 200 watts per square metre. The uses are not just in the home, though. Dr Bombelli said in regions where people don’t have access to energy, biological solar panels could be useful for tasks such as growing crops. People could be shown how to build the simple systems and, unlike solar panels which require technical expertise to fix, the biological solar panels can be fixed easily. ‘To assemble one is not too difficult,’ he explained. And to demonstrate just how useful the technology can be, Dr Bombelli is gearing up to deploy a plant-powered system in London Zoo. A trap camera powered by moss will be installed in the next four to eight weeks, and ultimately the same camera could be used to capture images of animals in the wild. Rice farming is one area Dr Bombelli sees his technology being useful. It could help power technology in areas where electricity is scarce, possibly increasing yields. Shown is a stock image of rice paddy fields in India, one region Dr Bombelli said his technology could be useful . He noted that there are limitations: the technology is not very mobile, and its power output is low compared to other renewable energies. Nonetheless he thinks it could be part of a ‘portfolio of renewable technology’ to generate electricity. ‘We don’t really think the world is going to be powered by this technology, but it could play a role,’ he said.

Simon Wood, 38, from Oldham won Masterchef last Friday . Wannabe chefs with their eye on a career as the next Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver should take note - it doesn't have to cost a fortune. The new winner of Masterchef Simon Wood, who won the title last Friday, hasn't been on a single cookery course or even had one lesson. Everything the 38 year old knows about cooking is self-taught - learnt form reading recipe books or watching television shows. He told MailOnline: 'It’s all self-taught. There’s no more to it than that. You can achieve anything if you try hard enough and you’re passionate enough. 'I learnt what I know from reading, websites like YouTube, watching TV and talking to people who are also passionate about it. 'I also found out a lot from watching chefs when I go to a restaurant - you go into a lot of restaurants these days and you can see straight into the kitchen. 'I can’t help it, it’s like watching TV and if it’s happening in front of you, you can’t help but watch what they do.' While Simon, who lives in Oldham,  learns about his cooking from reading and watching programmes, he sharpens his skills by practicing on his four children - Liam, 20, Alex, 18, Cameron, 16, and Charlotte, seven. The lucky children are often on the receiving end of their father's culinary masterpieces - in the Wood household lunchboxes can become works of art. He said: 'They only get fancy stuff in their lunch boxes when I’m practising. 'All of my kids like different things, so it can be like a gourmet buffet sometimes when you’re at my house. 'Everyone wants something different, someone wants fish, and someone else wants shellfish - if it’s in the fridge or freezer it’s likely to come out at some point or another. 'They’re not fussy at all though. They’re like me, there’s nothing I don’t like and that has carried on through to them too. It makes life a lot easier.' Scroll down for video . Simon has always wanted to be a chef - when he was eight, he won the opportunity to spend a day in a hotel kitchen and featured in the local newspaper. But he gave up his dream because he and his wife, who he separated from two years ago, had a child very young. The couple met while working at McDonalds and when he was just 19, they had their first child - Liam. Simon as an eight year old after winning the chance to spend a day in a hotel kitchen . The hours that chefs do are notoriously antisocial and so Simon decided to take up a career in IT instead. His children are over the moon that their father is now following his dream though and they watched the Masterchef final on TV together last Friday, when they learnt for the first time that their father had won - because it had to be kept a secret until the programme aired. He said: 'When we watched it together, it was the first time that they found out I had won and it was emotional, it was pretty overwhelming. 'It was a moment in all of our lives that we’ll remember and will treasure and look back on.' Simon has come a long way since the beginning of the show - in the first episode he was so terrified that Greg Wallace, who is one of the judges on the show, pointed out that he was actually 'shaking in his trainers'. Simon said: ' When you first go in there on day one, when you see John and Greg for the first time, they’re practically idols of yours and you’ve not met them before that. 'Then it all starts to get very real very quickly. It’s a daunting prospect that’s in front of you. 'So the next hour and 15 minutes that you get in there can determine the rest of your life really.' But Simon managed to overcome his nerves and was noted as one of the contestants who had grown the most over the course of the show. He won the final with a starter of octopus, with chorizo crisps and a cannellini bean and chorizo salad; his main course was pigeon with carrots, pommes parisienne and a cassis jus; and for the pudding he produced a lemon posset, with citrus tutti-frutti. Simon was noted as one of the contestants who had grown the most over the course of the show . He said: 'You grow so quickly when you’re down there. You get feedback from people that you’d never normally meet and they’re so good at what they do - everyone down there is. 'I got loads of really good feedback down there. I had a really good competition when I found my confidence and got rid of my nerves – I think it showed as well.' For anyone looking to follow Simon's success, he has one simple tip - enjoy it. He said: 'If you don’t enjoy it, it shows in the food that you haven’t made something you believe in or enjoyed making. That comes out on the plate and ultimately for your guests or whoever is eating the meal and that’s no good because food is about passion and giving people a valuable experience. 'If you don’t enjoy it I don’t think your guests will either.' Simon hasn't always been this good, even Masterchef winner's have the occasional cooking disaster. As a young man, he learnt the hazards of absent-minded cooking after he tipped and entire stock he had worked on for hours down the sink. He said: 'My biggest disaster was when I was younger and first started out cooking, I did Christmas dinner for the first time. 'I had a big turkey carcass so thought I was going to make a really nice stock. 'I simmered it for hours and hours and made a really good stock. 'Then I went to drain all of the vegetables and the bones out and ended up pouring it all down the sink because I didn’t put something under it, that was a lesson I learnt really early on – think about what you’re doing. 'I don’t think there is anything I can’t cook though. I think I’ve shown throughout the competition that I’m good with most things that get thrown at me.' Simon is now hoping to open a restaurant of his own . While he enjoys fancy cooking, one of the simplest culinary pleasures for Simon is a meal that can be rustled up in under ten minutes - a plain omelette. He said: 'The first thing I ever cooked as a child was an omelette. 'And if I'm looking for something quick and easy to do, I still always go back to an omelette and a glass of wine, with a salad. 'Nothing in it, just some sea salt and a really good salad with it, that’s it – done. 'Just nice and simple, good eggs, good omelette.' But anyone looking to sample some of the cooking that netted Simon the Masterchef prize can expect something much more intricate when he succeeds in his dream of opening his own restaurant. For the time being he is going back to the IT company he worked for, but his eye is already on setting up his own eaterie. He said: 'I am definitely planning on having a restaurant eventually – it’s every cook or chef’s dream. 'If you can make money doing something you love and enjoy it and help people create memories then that is amazing. 'I think a lot of people remember where they were when they had a good meal with special people at special times - if you can get involved with that by having a restaurant, it’s really good. 'I think I’d want to do classic dishes with a modern twist. 'Something that looks nice, is achievable. But is also quite opulent and refined and nice. 'Also something that isn’t out of everybody’s reach.'

A little boy with autism has sent his toy bear on a round-the-world mission to help him raise awareness about the disability. In January 2013, Dorian Poe, from Burlington, Ontario, sent his favorite toy out on the global adventure, having been inspired by the story of a cancer-stricken girl who, unable to live her own dreams of world travel, sent her teddy bear in her place. Hoping to raise the same level of global awareness about his own condition, Dorian decided to send his Ganz Webkinz bear, called Tikko, out into the world, carrying with him a message of understanding and tolerance for those affected by autism. Scroll down for video . 'It's okay to be different': Dorian Poe, 11, with his beloved bear Tikko, whose travels have raised awareness for autism all over the world . With the help and support of his mother Christine, Dorian, who was then nine years old, sent Tikko off on the first leg of his adventure in back in January 2013. Now, the bear has circled the globe and then some, continuing to share his vital message, while inviting the world to join in with his journey online. 'When I first decided to support Dorian in his campaign, it was because I was happy to see him want to “pay it forward”' Christine tells DailyMail.com. 'I fundraise each year to pay the $24,500.00/year tuition it costs for Dorian to go to a special needs school. I was thrilled to support Tikko because Dorian had found a way to give back to our community; a community that has been wonderful at supporting our fundraising efforts.' Hello, my name is Dorian. I have autism, and so does my pet polar bear Tikko. Tikko is about to go traveling on an adventure; and I need you to take care of him. My polar bear wants to raise autism awareness. Just call him 'Tikko the Autism Bear' or 'Tikko'. Guess what, this guy is much more different than the other polar bears you know. Things you should look out for: . To accompany Tikko the autistic bear on his adventures, Dorian included a letter explaining the characteristics and challenges involved in having autism – using the toy to help other people understand what the various aspects of the condition can feel like. Each family who receivedTikko on his travels would take on the job of raising awareness in his or her community – helping to spread Dorian’s message across the globe, while he remained at home in Canada. But the mother and son could never have known what a phenomenon Tikko would become. 'In January when Tikko took his first trip to Jamaica, I connected with another mom there whose child had autism,' Christine explains. 'There was little to no support for autism in Jamaica.' Hearing such a story from so far away, Christine began to research autism in the other countries Tikko was visiting, and she shared what she learned on the campaign's Facebook page. And two weeks after the Tikko had begun his adventures, Christine became involved in coordinating them. After media attention grew, and demand for visits from Tikko increased, Christine received a donation of new Tikkos from toy company GANZ, who offered 600 bears to the cause in order to help the family cope with the overwhelming amount of interest. ‘For the first few months there was only one Tikko,’ Christine explained. ‘It wasn’t long before we realized we could reach people faster by having more Tikko’s available. So I wrote to GANZ (the maker of the Webkinz Polar Bear), and to date they have donated 600 polar bears to us!’ With so many Tikko bears in the mix, running the campaign became a full-time job for Christine. At the gate: Tikko made it to 24 countries in his first 10 months of traveling . A towering success: The little bear has made it to some of the world's most instantly-recognizable landmarks . She keeps supporters informed with daily updates on Tikko's location on Facebook and Twitter, receives new Tikko travel photos every day, and promotes the awareness campaign across autism networking sites. However, Christine says: 'No matter how busy I am, I always have time to listen and offer support to those dealing with the challenges of having a child on the spectrum.' Tikko's Facebook page documents every destination he has reached in dozens of photos. He's posed at some of the world's most famous landmarks, hobnobbed with A-list celebrities, and even scraped the skies in a daring aerial show, all the while broadcasting the important message splashed across his T-shirt: 'Autism…it’s okay to be different!' The campaign has affected children all over the world who have autism, not in the least the young boy who started it all. A message in motion: Tikko spreads awareness with his motto: 'Autism…it’s okay to be different!' Getting back to his roots: Tikko has even made it as far as the North Pole, which was a dream of owner Dorian . 'Dorian feels a sense of purpose,' says mom Christine. 'He feels he is not only helping the world, but also his school peers. He’s gained confidence, and he’s made & kept friends more easily. 'He’s matured a great deal since starting his campaign. It has also brought us closer together – we share a very special bond.' Today there are still 20 Tikkos on the go, and the work is far from over. 'Tikko is still travelling, and will be for many years to come!' says Christine. 'He is just back from Kuwait, Lithuania, Nice and Scotland. He’s currently in Germany. 'Another Tikko is on the set of the Dragon's Den. Another Tikko is packed and ready to visit Mount Fuji in Japan. The list goes on. Tikko is one busy bear!'

Dorian Poe, 11, from Burlington, Ontario, sends his stuffed polar bear Tikko to other children around the world . Each child who looks after Tikko is tasked with raising awareness about autism in his or her community .

Psychologists and wellness experts have long-known that we're at our happiest when we're doing the things we love. But, according to one new study, a third of Australian women are not finding time for their hobbies and passions. The survey of 1,025 Australian parents, conducted by Officeworks, found that more women had foregone personal interests for work commitments or to finance 'more important' things in the last week, than had men. The cost, says clinical psychologist and Happiness Institute wellness expert Dr Paula Watkins, will be our happiness - and potentially that of our children. According to a recent study of more than 1,000 Australian parents, a third of Australian women are not finding time for their hobbies, choosing work and 'more important things' over their passions . 'We know that we tend to gravitate towards hobbies and interests that use our best strengths but a lot of the other things we do in our lives, including work, do not,' Dr Watkins told Daily Mail Australia. 'This is why it's so important for us to consciously do more of the things that bring us joy.' Dr Watkins says changing work spaces and technology do contribute to stress and brain overload. 'We know that we’re filling life with more info, we know that technology has so many pros - but the information we’re exposed to grows exponentially,' she says. 'We have to look at how we can break up a day at work  because its abnormal for a brain to focus on a screen for 8 plus hours a day.' 'Remember the brain is wired to pay attention, the brains will just keep processing information to the point of exhaustion, so we actually have to take more care of ourselves. Otherwise, we run the risk of over-stressing our brains, by actually not doing very much.' Clinical psychologist and Happiness Institute Wellness Expert Dr Paula Watkins says its important to create space for the things we love to be happy . One interesting finding to come out of the recent survey, Dr Watkins says, is that twenty per cent of women are inspired to start new hobbies through social media. 'Being inspired is a great thing, so long as that translates into our real lives,' she says. 'If it doesn't, it can actually add another layer of stress.' 'What we're seeing is that women could actually be more inspired than ever before, right at the time that we're also more time poor.' So how can we create more space in our lives for the things we love? Dr Watkins says its important to be pragmatic. 'We have to look at our lives and ask: "what can go?"' she says. 'It's not about loading more onto our lives, we've all done that, if we're going to add something in, something else has to go, or we're just going to feel overloaded.' Spending time doing things you love with friends has the advantage of the 'accountability' factor, Dr Watkins says. Dr Watkins also emphasises the importance of being organised. 'Get prepared,' she says. 'Whatever your hobby or interest is, recognise that you're actually going to need the gear to do it. 'Next time an unexpected pocket of free time opens up, you can take advantage of it if you've got the craft stuff you need at hand, for example, or your runners under your desk at work.' Other tips include spending more time sharing your passions with friends - this has the added 'accountability factor' -  and giving to others, perhaps by volunteering your time to others. 'Make a list, then pick one or pick two things you love– you can shelve the other stuff  for another time - it’s there, the seed has been planted,' Dr Watkins says . Finally, Dr Watkins says women should include their 'little people' in the things they love because hobbies and passions are created in childhood. Another worrying statistic that was revealed in the Officeworks survey is that 85 per cent of younger Australians, specifically GenY respondents, said they have also stopped pursing interests that they are passionate about because they feel they should be spending money on 'more important things' or using their time to complete work or home duties. According to Dr Watkins, the current situation of parents failing to pursue the things they love is concerning for generations to come because it sets a dangerous cultural norm in Australia. Pursuing past-times and creative outlets has a positive impact on children, she says and promotes healthy lifestyle choices for teenagers and young adults. 1. Lighten your load . Prioritising your commitments and saying ‘no’ occasionally can free up your time. 2. Use your breaks . Lunch breaks, coffee runs or public transport commutes provide you with opportunities to take time out. 3. Be prepared . Being prepared can help you take advantage of opportunities. Carry your camera with you, store a journal in your bag, leave a pair of running shoes at work. 4. Commute creatively . Create a Pinterest board on your tablet (like an iPad), discover new artists on Spotify or read a magazine about your hobby. 5. Include friends . Combining your social commitments with your passion is a great way to go. It help enhance your feeling of connectedness with your peers while providing you a creative or physical outlet. 6. Prioritise passions . Focus your efforts on one or two interests at a time. Remember, you can revisit other projects later when you have more free time. 7. Pledge a commitment . Joining a club or engaging a coach to mentor you will do two things: continually motivate you and challenge you to further develop your skills. 8. Involve your little people . Many of our hobbies begin in childhood, so share yours with the little people in your life. Childhood is all about learning and exposing your children to new activities. It helps their brain strengthen old connections and make new ones. 9. Make it work . With only 9% of Aussies admitting they’re very happy at work, it’s time to get creative and find ways to enhance your workplace. Instead of attending another office meeting, suggest a walking meeting or build staff members’ hobbies into team-building activities. 10. Gifts that give . Try volunteering or coaching to stay connected to your passion. When you commit your time to others, you’re more likely to leave work on time and prioritise your hobbies.

A third of Australian women are not making time for hobbies and passions . More women than men chose to forego their personal interests for work commitments or 'more important things' in the last week, study finds . 85 per cent of GenY survey respondents said they have also stopped pursuing interests that they are passionate about for work .

Ed Miliband lurched further to the Left yesterday with a land grab to extend state control over the property market. The Labour leader's 'Stalinist' plan to seize unused plots – as well as impose rent controls – shocked experts and investors. Property analysts said the move would take Britain back to the 'dark days of the Seventies'. Scroll down for video . Land-Grabber: Red Ed wants councils to encourage building by raising tax on unused land . Mr Miliband wants to bring in 'use it or lose it' powers allowing councils to encourage building by putting up taxes on undeveloped land. Sites still left idle could be compulsorily purchased for use by another developer. The announcement saw shares in housebuilders, including Barratt Developments, Persimmon and Taylor Wimpey, fall by around 2 per cent before later recovering. The Institute of Directors describes the land grab as a 'Stalinist attack on property rights'. Last night a spokesman said: 'Developers do not generally sit on large amounts of land for long periods. Talking about compulsory purchasing is very difficult – who makes the decisions? 'We don't think that a series of interventions on the demand side of the housing market are particularly helpful when the problem is we are not building enough houses.' Pointing the way: Mr Miliband wants to bring in 'use it or lose it' powers for councils . Andrew Percy, Tory candidate for Brigg and Goole, said: 'It is the sort of policy you might expect from Soviet Russia. 'We should encourage developers to use this land, but threatening to steal people's land is using a stick rather than a carrot.' Mr Miliband's plan to link rents to inflation under new, three-year contracts came under fire too. Alan Ward, of the Residential Landlords Association, said Margaret Thatcher's abolition of rent controls in 1988 had doubled the number of homes on the lettings market. 'Labour's plans would take use back to the dark days of the Seventies and the Eighties which caused a shortage of decent homes to rent,' he added. Melanie Leech, chief executive of the British Property Federation, said: 'In places like London tenants will find this policy on rents may make their budgeting harder, rather than easier. 'Their rent will tick along at CPI inflation for a couple of years and then they will face a potential sharp rise in year three when the rent returns to market. 'Ultimately what will help tenants best is more investment in housing. 'Pension funds and other institutions have billions to invest in this market – developing places that would provide a new generation of high-quality homes that offer greater choice to renters, including the option to sign longer tenancies.' In it together: Mr Miliband said the pledge to cut stamp duty to zero over the next three years would benefit nine out of ten people buying their first home . Richard Lambert, of the National Landlords Association, said Labour's package would make owners less likely to risk their money in providing homes while banks would be deterred from advancing loans. In his policy package, Mr Miliband also said he wanted to 'restore the dream of home ownership' by giving first-time buyers a stamp duty holiday on homes up to £300,000 in value. He said up to half of new homes would be earmarked for local residents trying to get a foot on the property ladder, while higher taxes would be imposed on foreign buyers. Mr Miliband's housing announcements are an attempt to regain the initiative after the Tories unveiled a popular policy two weeks ago to extend the right to buy to all tenants of housing associations. The Labour leader said housing would be a late addition on his party's election pledge card – increasing the number of pledges from five to six. Mr Miliband said the pledge to cut stamp duty to zero over the next three years would benefit nine out of ten people buying their first home, could save up to £5,000 and would cost the Government £225million a year. Chancellor George Osborne dismissed Mr Miliband's stamp duty pledge as a 'complete gimmick'. Naomi Heaton, of London Central Portfolio, an asset management company, said Mr Miliband's housing policy was 'a load of old cobblers'. 'Labour are clearly very bad at their sums, which is why, of course, we are so worried about them running the economy,' she said. 'The average purchase price for a first time buyer outside London is £137,120, according to the Halifax. Following the new stamp duty reforms introduced by the Conservative coalition last December, the stamp duty charge for buyers at this level is just £242. 'This is what the Labour policy would save – not £5,000.' Jenny Luckitt, of campaign group Generation Rent, said: 'These policies to cut stamp duty do nothing for affordability. 'They merely stimulate demand and drive house prices even further out of reach of ordinary first-time buyers. 'Limiting this policy to the first two years of government is a gimmick that will only drive up prices as people scramble to buy before the 'holiday' is over.' Trump card: The Labour leader said housing would be a late addition on his party's election pledge card – increasing the number of pledges from five to six . David Orr, of the National Housing Federation, said: 'Slashing stamp duty could lead to even higher demand on homes for first-time buyers, pushing up prices even further out of reach, while not addressing the supply of homes we so desperately need.' Mr Miliband dismissed the backlash, saying: 'Our proposals will be better for home owners in Britain and for companies building homes in Britain. 'We have a housing market that is frankly not working and we have government that is not unblocking the real barriers there are in the housing market.' Mr Miliband added: 'We won't let those large developers just hoard land – waiting for it to go up in value when it could be used to build homes. 'We'll say: Either you use the land or you lose the land.'

David Cameron took on Church of England bishops yesterday after they questioned the morality of his austerity and welfare policies. In an Easter message to Christians, the Prime Minister insisted the Coalition had spent five years ‘trying to lift people up’ by making work pay and encouraging responsibility. ‘Just because some people have disagreed with our policies, does not mean those policies are missing in moral content,’ he insisted. Scroll down for video . Trip with George: Prime Minister David Cameron visited Marston's Brewery in Wolverhampton yesterday . Statement: In an Easter message to Christians, the Prime Minister insisted the coalition had spent five years 'trying to lift people up' by making work pay and encouraging responsibility . His intervention came as another senior Tory, chief whip Michael Gove, claimed Christians in Britain were being dismissed with a combination of condescension and suspicion. Six weeks ago, the Church provoked a row with ministers by publishing an unprecedented guide to how the country’s 30million Christians should ‘approach the General Election’. Bishops insisted it was not targeted at any particular party, and criticised successive governments while calling for a ‘fresh moral vision’. But much of the 50-page document was widely interpreted as indirect criticism of the Coalition’s welfare policies, which include a £26,000-a-year cap on household benefits, a new universal credit designed to ensure people are always better off in work and tough sanctions to prevent people languishing on jobless benefits. The bishops complained that welfare claimants were ‘described in terms that imply they are undeserving, dependent and ought to be self-sufficient’. They insisted it was ‘game-playing … to claim that anyone who cares about the impact of austerity on the most vulnerable members of society is… careless about the extent of national indebtedness’. The Archbishop of Canterbury the Most Rev Justin Welby - pictured ahead of a service for the re-burial of Richard III at Leicester Cathedral last week - has seen the Church of England come under fire from the PM . Despite evidence that the best-off are paying more in tax than ever before, the bishops also complained that ‘the greatest burdens of austerity have not been borne by those with the broadest shoulders’. Official Treasury figures suggest that the richest 10 per cent of households are contributing most to deficit reduction. Archbishop of York John Sentamu blamed welfare cuts and 'poverty wages' for rising inequality . Speaking to Premier Christianity magazine, Mr Cameron said the ‘values of the Christian faith are the values on which our nation was built’. ‘I’m an unapologetic supporter of the role of faith in this country. And for me, the key point is this: the values of Easter and the Christian religion – compassion, forgiveness, kindness, hard work and responsibility – are values that we can all celebrate and share,’ he added. Mr Cameron conceded he was not a model Christian and was ‘a bit hazy on the finer points of our faith’. ‘But even so, in the toughest of times, my faith has helped me move on and drive forward. It also gives me a gentle reminder every once in a while about what really matters and how to be a better person, father and citizen,’ he added. The Prime Minister said he had attempted to ‘banish the notion that being in government means you can somehow wave a magic wand and solve all the world’s problems’, and instead it was about ‘the right judgement… based on clear values and beliefs’. He said the Government had inherited ‘exceptional pressure on the national finances’ from Labour, adding: ‘I am proud that despite the pressure on public spending, we made clear choices to help the poorest paid and most vulnerable in society. ‘We have increased NHS spending, despite the overriding need to deal with the deficit. We also raised the threshold of income tax to lift the poorest paid out of income tax altogether. ‘More fundamentally, the core of our recovery programme – dealing with the deficit to restore confidence in our economy – is based on enduring ideas and principles: hard work, fair play, rewarding people for doing the right thing, and securing a better future for our children.’ Writing in The Spectator magazine today, Mr Gove said that the popular image of Christianity was at odds with the reality of churches across the country, which daily offered ‘thousands of quiet kindnesses’ to those most in need. ‘To call yourself a Christian in contemporary Britain is to invite pity, condescension or cool dismissal.’ Nick Clegg is on course to lose his seat to Labour, a poll suggested yesterday. A survey of voters in the Lib Dem leader’s Sheffield Hallam constituency put Labour on 36 per cent of the vote compared with 34 per cent for the Liberal Democrats. Prime Minister's wife: Samantha Cameron arrives for a visit to Abbey Court School in Rainham, Kent . Samantha Cameron yesterday visited a primary school in the seat of Rochester and Strood, held by former Tory Mark Reckless, who defected to Ukip and won a by-election last year. Despite his victory, the Conservatives are hopeful of recapturing the seat at the General Election. Reckless’s party Ukip, meanwhile, has said 16 and 17-year-olds should not be allowed to vote in a referendum on membership of the European Union. Its deputy chairman claims children are being exposed to ‘propaganda’ from Brussels in a bid to ‘catch them young’. Suzanne Evans said: ‘It’s everything there from colouring-in books on the Common Agricultural Policy for primary schoolchildren right up to research projects at university level. ‘The amount of money that the EU is putting into this propaganda and throughout the entire education system is enormous. 'Overall the EU has an advertising budget that is larger than Coca-Cola.’ It is thought the Lib Dems would demand 16 and 17-year-olds are given a say in any EU referendum as part of a post-election coalition deal.

Just days before convicted drug smuggler Andrew Chan is set to face death by firing squad, reports have emerged that he has married his girlfriend of three years, Febyanti Herewila. According to a family friend of Chan's, the pair wed inside the chapel at Besi Prison on Nusakambangan Island on Monday with immediate family present. This comes just months after the Bali Nine ringleader proposed to his girlfriend while he was still at Kerobokan Prison in February. Scroll down for video . Andrew Chan (left, pictured with Myuran Sukumaran) has married his fiance Febyanti Herewila at Besi Prison on Nusakambangan Island . Febyanti, known as Feby, is pictured here on Sunday before her visit to the island where Chan is being held . According to Chan's family the pair wed inside the chapel at Besi Prison on Nusakambangan Island on Monday . Febyanti (left) with Chan's brother Michael (right) accepted her now husband's marriage proposal in February . Febyanti immediately accepted his proposal, despite the fact that she knew he was condemned to death by Indonesian president Joko Widodo. Febyanti and Chan met each other in Kerobokan prison in 2012 after a friend introduced the pair. The Indonesian had been visiting the prison as part of her role as a pastor and Chan was carrying out theological studies in the hope of becoming a minister. Since then they have dreamed of his release, even talking about plans to have children together one day. Salvation Army minister and family friend David Soper officiated the wedding. Mr Soper has also been asked by Chan to be his religious adviser in his final hours and witness his execution. Fairfax Media report that when Attorney General H.M. Prasetyo first heard Chan's request to get married, he thought it was a joke. 'There was a wish from Andrew Chan, which I thought wasn't serious and wasn't the last wish, but it turned out to be serious. He wanted to be tied in matrimony with his girlfriend,' Mr Prasetyo told detik.com. 'He's been in isolation so I thought he wasn't serious.' On Sunday Chan's final wish to spend his last days at church with his family was granted.

This week Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were served their execution notices and are set to be executed at the stroke of midnight on Wednesday (3am AEST). Sukumaran has requested to spend his last days before his execution painting for as long as possible, and has vowed to stare down executioners when he's dragged into the jungle. He has painted a series of haunting self-portraits over the past few days, with titles such as 'The Second Last Day' and '72 hrs just started'. They show him looking distraught, while one particularly harrowing artwork has a gaping hole in Sukumaran's heart. Meantime fellow drug smuggler Andrew Chan hopes to spend his last moments at church with his family.

Lawyer Julian McMahon escorted the families of the two Bali Nine drug smugglers to see the pair . There were devastating scenes at Nusakambangan on Monday, as the pair's family and lawyer Julian McMahon visited the death row inmates. Chan and Sukumaran both refused to sign their execution warrants during official proceedings on Saturday, saying they believed it would be unjust to kill them. Chan and Sukumaran, convicted in 2005 for their role in a plot to smuggle 8.3kg of heroin from Bali to Australia, were given the official 72 hours notice on Saturday. Families of both the men visited them in prison on Monday, and were told they will have to say their final goodbyes on Tuesday. Andrew Chan's mother was in tears as she boarded a ferry to 'death island' with the Bali Nine pair's Australian lawyer Julian McMahon. Sukumaran's sister Brintha also look distraught ahead of her journey to visit her brother for what could be one of the last times.

(CNN)SpaceX on Tuesday launched a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket carrying an uncrewed cargo spacecraft called Dragon on a flight from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to the International Space Station. That was the easy part. In a difficult bid to land a rocket stage on a floating barge for the first time, the private space exploration company was unsuccessful. SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted: "Ascent successful. Dragon enroute to Space Station. Rocket landed on droneship, but too hard for survival." He later clarified that the rocket landed, but tipped over. SpaceX tried to land a Falcon 9 on the drone ship in January, but the rocket hit at an angle and exploded. SpaceX has said it will keep trying and, after it masters landing at sea, hopes to someday land rockets on the ground. Usually booster rockets burn up in Earth's atmosphere or, like NASA's space shuttle boosters, they fall back into the ocean. So why try to land one? Musk wants to cut costs. On his company's website, he says that if anyone can figure out how to "reuse rockets just like airplanes, the cost of access to space will be reduced by as much as a factor of a hundred." What about the rest of the rocket and the Dragon? The smaller, top part of the rocket will carry the Dragon into orbit and then break away from the cargo ship and burn up in Earth's atmosphere. The Dragon will dock with the space station a couple of days after launch to deliver more than 4,300 pounds (1,950 kilograms) of supplies, including research equipment and ISSpresso, an espresso maker that astronauts can use to make coffee and tea. The space station crew will spend about five weeks unpacking the Dragon. They'll then stuff it with over 3,000 pounds of science experiments, trash and other stuff to send back to Earth. When they're done, Dragon will leave the space station and mission controllers will guide it to splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off California. This is the sixth SpaceX mission to the International Space Station. The company was the first private space contractor to dock with the station. Tuesday's launch was the second attempt for this mission. Monday's planned launch was scrubbed due to weather. CNN's Catherine E. Shoichet contributed to this report.

They already have a fearsome reputation as the top predator of their time, but it seems the Tyrannosaurs were also prone to eating each other. A new study has uncovered evidence that a relative of Tyrannosaurus rex, called Daspletosaurus, may have indulged in cannibalism. Paleontologists have found bite marks on the fossilised skull of a juvenile Daspletosaurus, which lived around 75 million years ago. This artist's reconstruction shows a Daspletosaurus feeding on the body of another in an act of cannibalism . While some of the injuries appear to have been sustained during combat with other tyrannosaurs, others appear to have occurred after death. The scientists believe that another Daspletosaurus, which could grow to nine metres (30ft) as adults and weigh up to four tons, fed on the youngster's body. Tyrannosaurus rex and its relatives were more intelligent than previously thought and hunted in gangs which included young and older members, researchers have claimed. Scientists believe they have evidence that the top predatory dinosaurs were highly intelligent pack animals, despite T-rex being popularly depicted as a dangerous but dim-witted loner. This is a myth that has grown up because for many years their fossil skeletons tended to be found on their own, researchers say. The new theory follows an analysis of skeletons of the tyrannosaur Tarbosaurus bataar from 90 sites in the Gobi Desert, Mongolia. Tarbosaurus, a cousin of T-rex that lived around 70 million years ago, was a two-legged predator up to 12 metres long and weighing five tonnes. At least half a dozen of the animals appear to have belonged to a single social group, including adults and juveniles, that died together. The findings help to shed light on the brutal world in which the dinosaurs inhabited. Dr David Hone, a paleontologist at Queen Mary University of London, who led the research said: 'This animal clearly had a tough life, suffering numerous injuries across the head including some that must have been quite nasty. 'The most likely candidate to have done this is another member of the same species, suggesting some serious fights between these animals during their lives.' The researchers, whose work is published in the journal PeerJ, were examining the skull of a Daspletosaurus found in a quarry in the Dinosaur Provincial Park close to Calgary, Alberta in Canada in 1994. Daspletosaurus, which means 'frightful lizard', is thought to be a close relative of the more famous Tyrannosaurus rex and roamed north America between 77 million and 74 million years ago. With a massive, heavy skull that could be more than 3ft (1 metre) in length, it would have had a powerful bite and probably preyed on large armoured ceratopsid dinosaurs. The dinosaur latest study was thought to be a juvenile, measuring just under 19.7 feet (6 metres) and weighed around half a tonne. The researchers found numerous injuries on the skull, several of which appeared to match the teeth of tyrannosaurs. The skull of the juvenile Daspletosaurus (above) was covered in bite marks made by Tyrannosaur teeth . David Hone (left) and Darren Tanke (right) studied the fossilised skull at the Royal Tyrrell Museum . One bite to the back of the head broke off part of the skull and left a circular tooth-shaped puncture through the bone. However, there are signs the bone had begun healing, suggesting the injury was not fatal and that the animal lived for some time after it was inflicted. While the researchers cannot say what killed the Daspletosaurus, damage on the jaw bones suggest that a large tyrannosaur bit into the dead creature between one and three times in what appears to be feeding behaviour. Daspletosaurus is thought to have not just hunted but also scavenged for food and the research team say the injuries appear to have occurred after it had begun to decay. Cannibalism is relatively common in the natural world, with more than 1,000 species known to eat their own species. The fossilised skull of Daspletosaurus was found in a quarry in Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada . Daspletosaurus, shown in the artists reconstruction above, led a violent life the study suggests . Tyrannosaurus rex is also thought to have indulged in cannibalism, according to a study in 2010. Writing in the journal, Dr Hone and his colleague Darren Tanke from the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta, said the Daspletosaurus appeared to have lived a violent life involving battles with other members of its own species. They said: 'Numerous wounds were inflicted during life and despite some considerable damage the animal clearly survived as shown by the evidence of healing. 'These were likely inflicted at least in part by one or more conspecifics and perhaps as a result of numerous separate instances of conflict. 'After death, the animal suffered at least one major bite to the right dentary, and perhaps two more from another tyrannosaurid, possibly another Daspletosaurus. 'The specimen must have been decaying prior to the delivery of the bite to the dentary, and the condition of other material suggests scavenging, rather than simply late-stage carcass consumption.'

Palaeontologists believe another Daspletosaurus scavenged on the body . The skull was found in Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta, Canada, in 1994 . It also carried wounds that appeared to have been inflicted during battles .

Dogs are usually maestros when it comes to games of throw and catch - especially when there's food involved. But Fritz the Golden Retriever from California appears to lack any eye-mouth co-ordination skills, as a new video shows. The pooch was filmed wearing bunny ears this Easter trying - and miserably failing - to catch a hard-boiled egg between his teeth. Slow-motion footage shows him licking his lips and enthusiastically leaping up to catch the treat. However, despite his best efforts, the egg narrowly misses his jaw, bounces off his chest and hits the grass instead. A defeated Fritz is then seen hanging his head low, with his bunny ears falling to the ground. The pup has made quite a name for himself with his poor catching skills. Indeed, his YouTube channel boasts more than five million hits. Other videos show him being thrown steak, tacos, bread rolls, pizza and donuts, with misses every time. Fritz's owner, Evan Ball, hopes that one day the dog will be able to achieve the 'paw-fect' catch. He added: 'While we all intently anticipate the day when Fritz masters the skill of catching food in his mouth, we also patiently embrace the journey.'

A billionaire tycoon wants planning authorities to grant permission for his new £4 million beachfront mansion which can jack itself up in the case of flooding which heats itself using the outside air in temperatures as low as -25C. Jim Ratcliffe, founder and chairman of chemical company Ineos, has applied to planning officials in the New Forest to seek to demolish an existing beach hut and replace it with a 'carbon neutral' mansion. The 62-year-old businessman who is based in Switzerland claims that the new house, if built, will be his only UK residence. The proposed beach house in this computer generated image would only be visible from yachts on the Solent . The high-tech planned mansion will be virtually 'carbon-zero' and uses renewable energy such as solar power . Billionaire tycoon Jim Ratcliffe wants to build a futuristic beach house on a site he owns overlooking the Solent . The planning application claims the building will be 'climate-change proof due to its jacking system. The building has been designed by Charles Morris, who was the architect responsible for the Orchard Room at Prince Charles's Highgrove Estate. According the document: 'The development proposals incorporate domestic-scale micro renewable energy systems, including an array of photovoltaic cells, solar hot water and an air source heat pump. 'The solar thermal hot water system provides hot water powered directly from the sun; the photovoltaic cells will provide electrictiy to power immersion heaters to ensure that there is hot water in all weather conditions. 'The air source heat pump will draw latent heat from the air even when air temperature is as low as -25C to heat the house via underfloor heating. 'The dwelling would be so thermally efficient and would harness so much renewable energy that it will not need a boiler. 'The dwelling has been designed to be lifted by 73 piston jacks, with with a capacity to lift 25 tonnes; this will allow the development to respond to rising sea levels over the next 100 years, this is truly innovative and truly unique.' Mr Ratcliffe is seeking to demolish the existing house on the site and replace it with the new mansion . The house has a revolutionary jacking system which can lift the property up in the case of flooding . The £4million luxury mansion will have stunning views of the Isle of Wight and is at the edge of the New Forest . Mr Ratcliffe bought the site in 2005 and has had several previous planning applications rejected. According to the plans, the house would only be visible from yachts on the Solent. His neighbours include Dire Straits lead singer Mark Knopfler and the band's bass guitarist John Illsley who live either side of the planned development. Graham Baker of the New Forest Association told the Times: 'Mr Ratcliffe bough a beach house, a small cheaply built occasional dwelling. He wants to erect a mansion in its place.' Mr Baker claimed the planned jacking system is not sufficiently unique to allow planners to grant the house permission. However, neighbour Frank Woodward, 89, who lives 100 metres away from the beach house said: 'This area was flooded a few years ago so I think it's a good idea. There used to be a much bigger house on that site. 'Mr Ratcliffe has got the money. He has to have a big house. People who are objecting have only been living here for five minutes.'

Jim Ratcliffe is the founder and chairman of chemical giant Ineos . The Swiss-based billionaire said the house would be his only UK home . The house features several revolutionary energy saving measures . The home's heating and hot water systems all use renewable energy .

A cat has been freed after spending 27 days trapped under a bath tub, it has been revealed. Simba was rescued by firefighters in Meckenheim, near Bonn, Germany, after a neighbour heard scratching in her newly refitted bathroom. Owners Helga and Eberhard Henkel had lost their pet in early March and had looked everywhere - even hanging up notices in surrounding streets. Lucky escape: Simba the cat was freed by firefigthers after spending 27 days trapped under a bath tub . Pet rescue: It is thought the animal had crawled under the floor boards as the bathroom was being renovated . But nearly four weeks later, a neighbour raised the alarm after hearing noises from under the bath. It is thought the animal had crawled under the floor as the bathroom was being renovated. According to The Local, Mrs Henkel told a local newspaper: 'It's a miracle, a gift. 'We looked everywhere for Simba, hung up notices, watched out for cats' eyes with a torch at night.' She said that Simba was showing the effects of not having eaten for four weeks - but that he had put back on 300 grammes. Owners Helga and Eberhard Henkel (pictured with Simba) had lost their pet in early March and had looked everywhere - even hanging up notices in surrounding streets . On the mend: Although Simba was 'traumatised' by his experience, he is quickly recovering and has put back on 300 grammes . 'He is skin and bones. You feel all the ribs, the backbone, Simba has fallen sharply and is traumatised,' Die Welt quotes her as saying. The Local quotes Professor Neigel an animal expert from Giessen, Germany, as saying cats were capable of surviving for long periods on only a small amount of water. He said that a month was still a long time for a cat to survive, but that it was not 'out of the ordinary'.

Simba went missing in early March in the town of Meckenheim, Germany . His owner's neighbour heard scratching in her bathroom four weeks later . The pet was freed by firefighters and is now starting to put weight back on .

(CNN)It's not easy being the Pope. Not only does he shepherd nearly 1 billion Catholic souls, he also leads a small but morally significant state with envoys and interests in nearly every country. As scholars like to say, the Vatican has walked the line between spiritual and worldly concerns for centuries. Sometimes, as when St. John Paul II stood up to Communist Poland, the church's moral and political clout have combined to pack a powerful punch. At other times, popes have to make a hard choice: Adopt the sharp tongue of a prophet or the discretion of a diplomat? This Sunday in Rome, Pope Francis faced just such a dilemma. First, the back story: . One hundred years ago, more than 1 million Armenians (some estimates run as high as 1.5 million) died at the hand of the Turks. Many of the victims were part of a branch of Christianity closely aligned with Catholicism. A slew of historians and at least 20 countries call the killings a "genocide." (A U.S. resolution to do the same has languished in Congress.) Turkish officials disagree, arguing that the deaths, while unfortunate, were part of a long-running war that witnessed casualties on all sides. For their part, previous popes had finessed the genocide question. John Paul II used the "g" word in 2001, but didn't dare speak it out loud. Instead, it was tucked into a document signed by the former pontiff and the head of the Armenian church, after they had celebrated Mass together. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI called the killings "a great evil" and "terrible persecution" in a speech 2006, but avoided labeling them genocide. (Benedict found other ways to tick off the Turks, initially opposing their entry into the European Union.) As Pope Francis prepared to celebrate a special Mass Sunday to commemorate a century since the slaughter, Vatican watchers were divided about whether he would use the word "genocide." He did, but in a roundabout way, by quoting John Paul's document. "In the past century, our human family has lived through three massive and unprecedented tragedies," Francis said. "The first, which is widely considered 'the first genocide of the 20th century,' struck your own Armenian people." The middle phrase comes directly from the document issued 14 years ago by John Paul. In citing his predecessor, Francis highlighted one of the Vatican's chiefest concerns, especially on matters of moral import: continuity. Whether holding the line against artificial birth control, declining to ordain female priests or dealing with diplomatic tensions, it sometimes seems as if the church considers inconsistency the most unforgivable of sins. "The Vatican and the papacy love continuity," said the Rev. Thomas Reese, a Vatican analyst for National Catholic Reporter. If Francis had not called the Armenian killings a genocide, particularly at such a high-profile event -- the audience included Armenia's President -- it might have been interpreted as a change in church policy, Reese said. At the same time, Francis didn't want to anger the Turks more than necessary, especially since they have become a key ally against the persecution of Christians by ISIS in the Middle East, which the Pope alluded to in his speech on Sunday. "The fact that he quoted John Paul is a sign that he's downplaying it," Reese said of the Armenian murders. "He's telling people: There's nothing new here." New or not, Turkey was not happy. The nation recalled its Vatican ambassador for "consultations" just hours after Francis' comments, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said. Turkey also promptly summoned his counterpart, the Vatican's ambassador, for a meeting, Turkish state broadcaster TRT reported. In a tweet Sunday, Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu called the Pope's use of the word "unacceptable" and "out of touch with both historical facts and legal basis." "Religious authorities are not places through which hatred and animosity are fueled by unfounded allegations," the tweet reads. "Hatred" and "animosity" are not words often used to describe Pope Francis. Because he often shines a sympathetic face on the world, emphasizing mercy over judgment, it's easy to miss the bluntness Francis brings to the bully pulpit. On matters of doctrine and diplomacy, he may be carrying on Catholic traditions, but in his willingness to engage in geopolitics and the tone that engagement often takes, this pope is decidedly different. He has helped broker a backroom detente between the United States and Cuba, and invited Israeli and Palestinian leaders for an unprecedented prayer service at the Vatican (after annoying some Israelis with an impromptu prayer at the wall that separates the West Bank from Jerusalem.) But Francis has also suggested that force may be justified to stop ISIS' slaughter of Christians, warned of the "Mexicanization" of Argentina and said that satirists who insult religion should expect a retaliatory punch. On Monday, the Pope addressed a roomful of priests at morning Mass. He must have heard the hubbub about his "genocide" remark, but he encouraged his charges to speak frankly, without fear, and to bear the courage of their convictions, just as the early apostles had. "We cannot keep silent about what we have seen and heard," Francis said. CNN's Gul Tuysuz and Jethro Mullen contributed to this report.

Previous popes had finessed the question of whether the killing of 1.5 million Armenians was genocide. Because he often shines such a smiley face on the world, it can be easy to forget the bluntness Francis sometimes brings to the bully pulpit .

As our cities get busier parking spaces become harder to come by and it can be difficult to squeeze into a tight spot in rush hour. But German engineers have come up with an innovative solution - a small electric car that can turn on the spot, shrink in size and even move sideways, like a crab, so it can park itself. The EOssc2 is described as an 'ultra flexible micro-car for mega cities' and is designed to connect to others to form a train. Scroll down for videos . Engineers at the DFKI Robotics Centre describe the EOssc2 (animated) as an 'ultra flexible micro-car for mega cities' and plan on enabling it to drive itself. The concept car can turn on the spot, shrink in size and even move sideways, like a crab, so it can park itself . Crabs have a wide flat body to make it easier squeeze into narrow spaces and the EOssc2 works in a similar way. The arthropods flex the second joint of each leg to move sideways, although some crabs can walk forwards as well. In the case of the EOssc2, the car turns its wheels to manoeuvre and mimic this movement. Its unusual design also features a forward tilt and doors that open like the DeLorean in Back to the Future.

Created at the DFKI Robotics Centre in Bremen, Germany, the concept vehicle is intended to be semi-autonomous. The car's computer and its auto-navigation system enables it to park itself, 'even within narrow and congested roads,' the firm said. Size: 8 feet (2.5metres) to 5 feet (1.5metres) Weight: 1,653 lbs (750kg) Power: 54V - LiFePo4 battery . Speed: 40mph (65 km/h) Motors: Four 4kW wheelhub motors . Sensors: 360 LIDAR sensor on the roof . Testing: Bremen, Germany and Dalian, China . 'Later, an autopilot will be able to drive the car without a single passenger intervention creating the driverless car,' it added. Currently, the two-seater vehicle can be driven in the traditional way, diagonally and sideways. It can also pivot on the spot and shrink from 8 feet (2.5metres) to 5 feet (1.5metres) while maintaining a comfortable seating position, according to the firm. It does this because its wheels are individually powered by separate motors so they can turn in different directions. The car has a top speed of 40mph (65 km/h) and its semi-autonomous features are possible because of inbuilt cameras and a LIDAR sensor on its roof, which lets the vehicle scan its environment and locate itself in it, 10 times a second. It is designed to link with others to from a kind a connected convoy that can save energy over long distances - such as on motorways or as a car-sharing scheme. A team of 10 engineers built the car from scratch over a three year period. The EOssc2 is currently being tested in the cities of Bremen and Dalian, China.

Hibs, Hearts and Rangers united in condemnation of the SPFL's decision to move the Ibrox club's final game of the Championship season back 24 hours. In a move designed to accommodate broadcasters, Rangers will face champions Hearts at Tynecastle on May 3 — 24 hours after Hibs and promotion rivals Falkirk and Queen of the South play. Adamant the final round of fixtures should be played at the same time to avert any competitive advantage for Stuart McCall's side, Easter Road chief executive Leanne Dempster and Hearts chairwoman Ann Budge have lodged formal complaints with the league. In a staggering misjudgment of the public mood, however, the SPFL issued a statement expressing surprise at the fuss before Rangers boss McCall compounded their woe by revealing he also backed Hibs' stance. Hibernian are upset that Rangers' final game of the season has been pushed back for TV purposes . Ramping up the pressure on SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster, Hibs counterpart Leanne Dempster said: 'In previous seasons, the League has ensured that all of the final round fixtures are played at the same time. 'I have been in contact with the SPFL following its announcement that one final-round fixture would kick off after all the other results are known. 'I have reminded them in very clear terms that — as organisers of the competition — the responsibility for protecting its unimpeachable sporting integrity lies with them.' On a day when the relationship between broadcasters and Scottish football came under unprecedented scrutiny, Hearts majority shareholder Budge backed up her city rivals. In a statement, Budge also queried the 'sporting integrity' of Rangers playing 24 hours after their rivals given they are engaged in a dogfight with Hibs for second place. 'This has been done following selection of the game for a live TV broadcast,' she said. 'While we all knew that this was likely to be a strong candidate for televising and that the time might well change, we did not for one minute think that at this late stage, it would be moved to the Sunday, especially given our belief that all Championship games would require to be played at the same time. 'On learning of the change, I immediately attempted to contact the SPFL and objected in strong terms to the proposed late change to this fixture on the grounds of it having a total disregard for the interests of supporters of both clubs and an apparent disregard for sporting integrity. Rangers will play Hearts at Tynecastle in their final game of the season on May 3 . 'Being given 17 days' notice of this change is extremely disruptive and potentially very expensive for the fans, the sponsors and indeed the club. Overseas supporters have been in touch to advise that they will lose substantial amounts on travel; others have advised of lost earnings, holiday problems, etc. 'None of this is good for any of us and on behalf of the club, I can only apologise. 'When it also became apparent to us that our fixture was the only game to be moved, we were equally alarmed as rightly or wrongly, this casts a shadow over the sporting integrity of the Championship. 'While it may not be enshrined in the newly-merged rulebook of the SPFL, it is protocol the football world over for fixtures such as the last day of the Championship to be played simultaneously. 'To move only one, (or even two or four) out of 5 fixtures would seem to be leaving our game wide open to unsavoury accusations. 'I will be sending in a formal complaint to the SPFL in relation to this appallingly late decision. It is no wonder that clubs are finding it harder and harder to gain support from their fans when their interests can be so blatantly disregarded, especially at such short notice. 'I am advised that this complaint will likely have no impact on the original decision but nevertheless, I want our supporters to know that we have taken all and any action that we could have and I will further comment on the situation once we have been updated by the League.' Responding to the criticism, however, the SPFL rushed out a statement saying it was 'unreasonable' to expect all Championship games to kick off simultaneously. 'In response to recent criticisms of the Championship fixture scheduling for the weekend 2/3 May, we'd like to clarify some specific points. On this weekend, the Hearts v Rangers match is scheduled for Sunday 3 May to be broadcast on television and it is not clear to us why this has caused so much surprise. This is a key game in the Championship season and will inevitably attract huge interest from fans around the world. Hearts are already promoted from the Championship, but they too condemned the fixture change . 'It is unreasonable to expect all Championship fixtures that weekend to move to the Sunday when a number of them will be unaffected by the Hearts v Rangers tie. However, as a result of this fixture, all Championship clubs have been invited to submit a request should they wish to move games to the Sunday. 'To date, we have had no request from Hibernian FC to move its fixture to the Sunday at the time of writing (8.45pm, Wednesday 15 April). 'We also note speculation that Police Scotland expressed concern to the SPFL about the scheduling of the Hearts v Rangers match. However, Police Scotland confirmed to us that there were no security issues with the scheduling of all Championship fixtures that weekend. 'Whilst we regret any inconvenience to supporters caused by rescheduled fixtures, the circumstances surrounding the matches on the weekend of 2/3 May are in no way unusual.' After his side drew with Livingston last night, however, Ibrox manager McCall gave his view, saying: 'First and foremost, we've not asked for the game to be changed. Hibs are complaining about it and rightly so. I'd be doing exactly the same. I think every game on the last day of the season should be played at the same time. 'But we've told by the TV, I believe, that it may be the case that the other games are moved to the Sunday. I honestly don't know. It's nothing to do with us. We've not asked for that, but if I was in Hibs' position then, yes, I would be annoyed as well. Of course. 'I was happy to play on the Saturday. We've not tried to gain any advantage - we've been told when to play. TV controls a lot of things. If the game definitely has to go ahead on the Sunday then can we all then move to the Sunday. I'd be happy with that. I would imagine that it will be changed over the next 24 or 48 hours to play at the same time. It would be only right.'

Rangers' final game of the season against Hearts pushed back 24 hours . Ibrox side will face Hearts on May 3 at Tynecastle to accommodate TV . Hibs, Falkirk and Queen of the South play on Saturday May 2 . Hibernian adamant final round of fixtures should be played at same time .

The baby boom generation is set to leave a wave of funeral debt to its children and grandchildren, a report warns. The number of deaths every year in Britain – which have been falling for the past 40 years – will rise by 20 per cent over the next two decades, as the lives of unprecedented numbers born in the post-baby boom come to an end. At the same time the price of a funeral is rising fast, thanks to higher costs for cremation, rising undertakers’ bills as funeral firms are faced with bad debts, and the increasing fees demanded by churches. Loss of baby boomers: The number of UK deaths per will rise by 20 per cent over the next two decades, as funeral costs have already risen by 80 per cent over the past ten years . The report, prepared by an old age think tank, the International Longevity Centre-UK, and backed by insurance firm OneFamily, suggests that younger people who already feel financially hard pressed in comparison to their parents will still be under money pressure even after their deaths. Younger people are finding it increasingly difficult to afford homes or to start families, and in the long-term their pensions are much less secure than those of their parents, many of whom enjoyed the generous and fast-disappearing defined benefit pension system. The report from ILC-UK to be published next week said that death rates are set to go up following a long period in which medical advances, better diet, healthier lifestyles and the growing unpopularity of smoking, and the decline of dangerous heavy industrial jobs, have meant fewer people have been dying despite a rising population. ‘After decades of the number of deaths in the UK falling, 2015 will mark a tipping point where the historic trend starts to reverse,’ it said. ‘As the oldest of the baby boomer generation move through their later years, deaths are predicted to rise by 20 per cent.’ Expensive end: A ‘simple’ funeral, with a cremation, a minister and an undertaker, now costs an average of £3,590, an old age think tank has found . It added: ‘This will have significant implications for current forecasts of funeral costs and highlights a growing need for families to broach the delicate subject of end of life expenses.’ Baroness Sally Greengross of ILC-UK said: ‘More than half of UK households have less than £3,000 in savings and many will struggle to cover funeral costs. ‘We all need to talk more about dying and ensure we are prepared for the inevitable. State support for funerals is complex and inadequate and without reforms will contribute to more people falling victim to funeral debt.’ The report said that funeral costs have already risen by 80 per cent over the past 10 years and costs are set to go up further. A ‘simple’ funeral, with a cremation, a minister and an undertaker, now costs an average of £3,590, it found. However a family that wants to throw in a memorial stone, death notices, flowers, limousines, a wake and somewhere to hold it, is likely to be looking at spending almost £2,000 more. An average ‘full works’ funeral now costs £5,423, the report said. Costs are going up, it found, partly for technical reasons. Crematoria now need to cover costs for removing fillings from the teeth of the dead, for example, because they must remove mercury from the body before disposal. Funeral firms are under growing costs pressures, not least because some families cannot or will not pay their bills, and the fees for a Church of England vicar to conduct the funeral went up in 2013 from £102 to £160. More than one in five families do not have money left by the deceased to help with the cost of the funeral, the report said.

A Labour councillor refused to deal with a local resident because they supported Ukip, it has been claimed. Pensioner Alan Roberts wrote to Bournemouth Borough Council complaining about a lack of action over fly-tipping. He signed off his email with: 'That's why I'll be voting Ukip'. Ben Grower, leader of the authority's Labour group, responded: 'As you now appear to be a supporter of a racist party please do not send me any further emails as they will be put in my junk mail folder and automatically deleted.' Mr Roberts said he was shocked by the 'petty' reply. The 65-year-old said: 'I am certainly not a racist and I do not think Ukip is racist. 'My comments about regaining our country is in relation to the fact that we are getting more and more laws from the EU.' A formal complaint has been lodged against Mr Grower and the council is investigating. However Mr Grower stood by his comments, saying: 'Ukip is a racist party.' He added that he has nothing to apologise for. 'I don't believe that everyone that votes for UKIP is racist just like I don't believe everyone who votes for Labour is socialist.,' he said. A spokesman from UKIP said: 'This is a serious breach of his [Mr Grower's] responsibility to treat all people from Bournemouth in the same courteous and respectful manner, regardless of their race, colour or political persuasion.' Six years ago Mr Grower was subject to another council investigation after it was found he had used an alias to praise his own work on a local newspaper website. He used the pseudonym 'Omegaman' to publicly big up the part he played in the community.

'Behind the scenes, I always thought there were one or two people with their own agendas. 'There was always talk about Tim Sherwood coming in. It was like a bit of a soap opera. 'QPR was in the paper every day. I've been at lots of other clubs, big clubs as well, where you didn't get that. That got on my nerves. That was the big problem for me.

(CNN)So now the real trial is underway: What does the surviving Boston Marathon bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, deserve and why? What's he likely to get and why? Let's start where the penalty phase starts, with the prosecution's case. Prosecutors have listed, as they must, the aggravating circumstances that make this horrific mass murderer deserve the harshest punishment. The killing was "heinous, cruel and depraved." He placed a bomb in a crowd, set it to kill and maim children and adults indiscriminately -- if that's not heinous, cruel and depraved, what is? Cruelty classically consists of a desire to cause pain and suffering in innocent victims, or, at the opposite extreme, it reflects a cold, callous indifference. Tsarnaev displayed both. Cruelty really provides us a lens into the worst of the worst of the worst. The number of dead from the bombing (three) and injured (260), including dozens maimed, also elevate these murders. The victims were vulnerable -- no one more so than 8-year-old Martin Richard. For 2,500 years, we have proclaimed that all human beings are equally valuable, yet we identify certain victims as especially worthy, and those who prey on them as especially culpable. The prosecution's emphasis: The killings involved "substantial planning and premeditation" and a betrayal of the United States -- the very country that gave Tsarnaev shelter and citizenship. And then there's the selection of the site, the Boston Marathon, an "iconic" event. And then there's Tsarnaev's lack of remorse -- opening day, the prosecutor's final shot of Tsarnaev locked up, giving the security camera the finger. From his blood-scrawled justification in the boat after the bombing to this day, the message has been: Screw you, society. Tsarnaev may take the stand to beg for mercy, but only if he now feels or at least can fake remorse. And don't confuse regret with remorse. No doubt Tsarnaev regrets his present predicament, regrets the negative publicity he's brought his friends and family and most poignantly regrets running over and killing his older brother while trying to escape. But that's a far cry from genuine remorse for the victims he's killed and maimed. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was the lesser of two evils, the defense will insist over and over. Tamerlan was the source of his younger brother's malicious intent. As the prisoners inside Washington D.C.'s now defunct Lorton Central Prison once described the street code to me: No snitching, but if someone dies, then "the dead guy did everything." So the defense will claim that Dzhokhar was not fully responsible because he could not be. After all, he was only 19. Biologists teach us our brains don't fully develop until we're 25. Thus, their argument goes, a 19-year-old simply can't be the worst of the worst. In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the death penalty for those younger than 18 when they killed, repeatedly quoting an article by psychologists Laurence Steinberg and Elizabeth Scott. But in the same article, these leading developmental psychologists themselves characterized it as an "open question whether under real-world conditions the decision making of mid-adolescents is truly comparable with that of adults." And they were talking about 17-year-olds. To the best of my knowledge, science has not and cannot establish a definitive connection between organic brain development and moral responsibility. Think about it: When a 19-year-old bravely dashes into a burning building, risking his life to save children inside, we celebrate this heroism. We do not, nor should we, dismiss this bravery as the product of an impulsive not-yet-fully-formed personality. If we can fully celebrate good character and heroic acts of our best young adults, why can't we fully condemn the cowardly viciousness of our worst? What outcome would I predict in the Tsarnaev case? Confronted by surviving victims and images of their dead loved ones, hearing offsetting pleas to "move on," balancing the real suffering in the courtroom against the imagined punishment of life that awaits Tsarnaev, I expect the jury will vote 10-2 (or 9-3) for death. But they must be unanimous for death; a lopsided but divided jury would result in a life sentence. Worse, the historical record and headlines in the next day's anti-death penalty news organizations will probably proclaim: "Jury Chooses Life for the Marathon Bomber" -- even if overwhelmingly the people's representatives were to vote for death as the more appropriate punishment. Requiring a unanimous verdict for death gives the defense an enormous advantage -- one of many. Why? Because in the end, we would much prefer that 1 or 10 or 20 convicted murderers who deserve to die instead live out their lives in the relatively nonpunitive condition of prison than one person who deserves to live be wrongly killed at the hands of the people. And yet, if we really commit ourselves to having the punishment fit the crime, if we rightly reserve the death penalty for the most heinous crimes and criminals, surely the Boston Marathon bomber stands among the worst of the worst.

Robert Blecker: In sentencing phase, the prosecution lays out wealth of evidence that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev deserves penalty reserved for the worst of the worst . He predicts most of the jury will vote for a death sentence, but it must be unanimous; therefore, Tsarnaev will most likely get life in prison .

It is the age old debate but with a modern twist: which Premier League club is the most popular according to Twitter followers. For the first time ever, fans can see a detailed breakdown of how support for every club varies around the world and in the UK supporters can go as in-depth as seeing the three most popular teams in their local constituency. So, what exactly does the data show? The map was created by looking at the official Twitter accounts for each team, using their followers as an indicator of allegiance. Fans can toggle the map to view their club's support worldwide, see the most popular clubs globally and compare their club with a rival. Using the 'Zoom to' function fans can also look at any country around the world. Liverpool may be struggling in the Premier League and looking at a 2015-16 campaign without Champions League football, but in terms of Twitter followers they dominate the UK. Arsenal have strong support in London and the south east and actually have more followers in the backyards of rivals Chelsea and Tottenham. In Manchester, it is a win for Louis van Gaal's United who dominate the area apart from Gorton where rivals City are more popular. United also have pockets of concentrated support across the UK. Chelsea have strong support in the Western Isles, while clubs such as Newcastle, Sunderland, Hull City, Burnley, Stoke City, Leicester City, Aston Villa, Swansea and Southampton dominate their local areas. But while Liverpool completely dominate the UK market, their global appeal is less impressive. Brendan Rodgers' side have a large following across the world with strong support in Thailand, Norway, Iceland, Uruguay and Australia but find themselves playing second fiddle to the Premier League's other giants in other areas. For instance, the rest of Asia apart from Thailand is dominated by Manchester United - who have strong followings in India and Pakistan and edge out Chelsea in Malaysia and Indonesia, too. While in Japan, South Korea and the Philippines it is Arsenal who come out on top. The UK (left) is dominated by Liverpool green while South America (right) is very much a strong hold of Chelsea . London and the south east is a sea of yellow reflecting Arsenal's domination, with pockets of support for Chelsea (blue) and Liverpool (green) North America is somewhat surprisingly dominated by Arsenal (yellow) with pockets of support for Chelsea (blue) and Man United (red) Eden Hazard (left) and Ramires (right) in action for Chelsea against a MLS All-Star team during the club's 2012 tour of America . Somewhat surprisingly, United are only the third best supported team in America - despite touring the states frequently over the years and having American owners. Chelsea beat Van Gaal's side to second but it is Arsenal - whose largest shareholder is American Stan Kroenke - who dominate across the pond. Arsenal and Chelsea also split Europe, with Arsene Wenger's side most popular in northern European countries such as France, Germany and Poland and Chelsea taking the south. Arsenal are also well supported in northern Africa (Algeria and Morocco) but further south United turn South Africa, Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe red. Across the globe, Arsenal are the most popular team with 5.6million followers, followed by Chelsea (5.4m) and Manchester United (4.8m). The reasons behind support for a club in any country or area are of course complicated, but certain trends can be explained. For instance, there is often huge support in certain countries for national heroes. Ivory Coast is pro-Chelsea because of Didier Drogba, Uruguay is a Liverpool stronghold due to the now departed Luis Suarez and Bosnia and Herzegovina is light blue thanks to Edin Dzeko's presence at Manchester City. Arsenal went on tour to Asia in 2013 and they will take part in the 2015 Premier League Asia Trophy in Singapore in the summer . In Asia it is Manchester United (red) who just edge the overall support from Chelsea (blue) and Arsenal (yellow) Liverpool dominate Twitter followers in Australia with pockets of support for Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United as well . The Melbourne Cricket Ground was packed to 95,000 capacity when Liverpool took on Melbourne Victory in July 2013 . And this trend doesn't just happen at the so-called bigger Premier League clubs. Swansea are well supported in South Korea and Iceland presumably because of Ki Sung-yueng and Gylfi Sigurdsson. Enner Valencia being at Upton Park has boosted West Ham's following in the striker's native Ecuador and Everton are still popular in Cameroon even though Samuel Eto'o has left the club. Owners may also have a factor - in Malaysia QPR have a stronger-than-average following which could be attributed to the popularity of the club's owner Tony Fernandes in the country. Russia and the former Soviet countries are very much Chelsea hotbeds and again this may be down to the popularity of Roman Abramovich. With clubs always jostling to expand their fan base and Twitter growing popularity, this could be the new battle ground for clubs. Wayne Rooney, Raheem Sterling and Diego Costa all contribute to the popularity of Man United, Liverpool and Chelsea across the globe .

Twitter has developed an interactive graphic which shows support for all 20 Premier League clubs across the globe . Support for clubs has been broken down into constituency level in the UK and national level across the world . The Premier League's biggest clubs - Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea - dominate globally . Manchester United dominate Twitter followers in Asia while Chelsea are strong in South America . Arsenal come out on top in North America and in most of Europe . Liverpool are strong in Australia and parts of the Far East, including Thailand .

A 'superhero' scientist has ventured into one of the most radioactive places in the world - scaling missile defence system towers, getting bitten by 'radioactive' ants and eating contaminated apples that have grown on trees close to Chernobyl's epicentre. Anonymous scientist Bionerd has attracted thousands of subscribers to her YouTube channel for her visits into the Chernobyl exclusion zone, the site of a devastating nuclear explosion 29 years ago on April 26, 1986, as she measures the high levels of radiation still lingering in the air. Since the disaster the site has been closed off to the world, with Ukrainian scientists agreeing that the area isn't habitable for humans for at least 20,000 years. Despite this, the daredevil researcher claims she has exposed herself to more radiation swimming in the sea and visiting hospital - and says the most scared she's felt during her six visits was getting dangerously close to a rabid fox and walking by abandoned, dilapidated buildings. Scroll down for video . Daring: Bionerd uploaded this picture of her in the Chernobyl power station control room on April 26, exactly 29 years after the disaster . Tasty: Bionerd eats an apple that has grown in radiation-filled Chernobyl, where humans are still not allowed to live due to the cancer risk - but she says she has exposed herself to more radiation going intohospital, and is more likely to develop cancer from swimming in the sea . High: Bionerd free-climbing up the early warning missile detection system in Chernobyl. The area was devastated by a huge nuclear explosion in 1986, but that hasn't stopped the scientist exploring into the no-go zone to film . Speaking to MailOnline Bionerd won't give her real name – because 'Nobody should adore a scientist, one should adore his or her work' – but explains how she has come to 'love' the disaster zone. 'At first it was just about the radiation, the contamination, measuring what was going on. By now, it's for a love of the place', she said. 'Nobody who has not seen this place is able to fully grasp this; a lot of people will think it's crazy. 'But if you've been there and experienced the zone as it truly is - a time capsule - you will understand. Timewarp: An abandoned experiment room in Chernobyl, untouched since the destructive accident in 1986. 31 people died in the immediate aftermath . Abandoned: A derelict operating room in Pripyat - the 'ground zero' city when the nuclear reactor exploded. Bionerd says visiting the abandoned site is like stepping back in time . Damage: The broken pressure gauges from the nuclear power station's control room after the nuclear reactor exploded 29 years ago . Relaxed: Bionerd at the foot of the Duga-3 radar system - known as the Russian Woodpecker - in the heart of the Chernobyl exclusion zone . 'Time stopped the moment the reactor blew, and I don't just mean the readings on the clocks... And if you embrace it, you can understand the zone's true meaning.' The 29th anniversary of the disaster was marked on Sunday, and it is still regarded as the worst nuclear power plant accident in history. Thirty-one people died in the direct aftermath, but the long term effects of the population living close by are still being investigated. As well as conducting scientific experiments measuring the amount of radiation with her bright yellow Geiger counter, Bionerd's videos also show the eeriness of the once thriving and busy area, now abandoned and inhospitable. Yet despite the obvious dangers, Bionerd says she has exposed herself to more radiation when going for a medical procedure in hospital - and is more likely to get skin cancer by swimming in the sea without wearing sunscreen. 'The received dose of radiation [in Chernobly] was far too minor', she said. 'If anything, the medical procedures have exposed me to far greater amounts of radiation than Chernobyl ever will, so if I was to have a 'radiation induced cancer', I probably got it at the emergency room. The Chernobyl power plant after the disaster in 1986 . On April 26. 1986, a sudden power surge at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl, near the city of Pripyat, led to a huge explosion of the reactor which cast highly radioactive particles into the air. The plume spread over wide areas of the then-Soviet Union and eastern Europe, leading to some 350,400 people having to be evacuated and resettled from the most contaminated areas in Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. The fight to contain the contamination led to more than half a million emergency workers exposing themselves to high doses of radiation, and cost 18 billion rubles. The deaths of 31 people - all reactor staff or emergency workers - were directly attributed to the disaster, while the Chernobyl Forum predicts the eventual death toll could reach 4,000 among those with a high level of radiation. The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone was set up by the Soviet military directly after the disaster and covers around 30km of the site, including the epi-centre of the blast. It is one of the most radioactively contaminated areas in the world  - but there are still 197 'Samosley', or 'illegal residents' of the area who refused to move out. Tourism to the zone is growing, thanks in part to the popularity of video games including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Source: Wikipedia . Relaxed: Bionerd with her Geiger counters measuring radiation in Chernobyl. She has visited the site six times to film her experiments . Radiation: Bionerd's array of Geiger counters, which measure the amount of ionizing radiation in the air including alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays . Death trap: More dangerous than the radiation, Bionerd says, are the derelict buildings on the brink of structural collapse . Predator: The Chernobyl exclusion zone has become popular with wildlife, including this rabies-ridden fox . 'It was very stupid of me to go swimming in the sea multiple times without re-applying sun protection, and I hope I won't have to pay for this ignorance one day.' 'When necessary - which which was very few occasions - I was wearing gloves and/or a respirator and/or shoe protection so I don't get contaminated', she added. 'I was extremely cautious about the buildings, as some of them have partially collapsed and are highly dangerous to enter. 'Being buried by a collapsing wall is the true physical danger in the Chernobyl exclusion zone. 'I was also carefully looking out for animals, especially as rabies is a big issue in any rural area in the Ukraine - and thus, also in the Chernobyl exclusion zone, which is a wildlife habitat more than anything else.' Her encounter with a rabid fox is one of the few times on Bionerd's YouTube videos that you hear genuine panic in her voice, as the wild creature comes dangerously close to her car. Reflecting on the impact that nuclear disasters such as Chernobyl has had on the surrounding environment,  Bionerd said she doesn't see it as an 'ideal' energy source. 'In regard to stuff going really wrong, well, that rarely happens - in comparison to total running reactors versus time - and even if it does, it kills a lot less people in total than mining for coal or the smog resulting from emissions from coal plants. Untouched: The operator console of the control room for the nuclear reactor in Chernobyl. The site has barely been touched since the explosion . Defiant: Bionerd and her colleagues in nuclear reactors five and six over the potential reactor core - right in the heart of Chernobyl (see arrow). She says she wants a reliable energy source before shutting nuclear power plants . But after coal, it's still the second-worst source of power because of all that waste that is produced. Both the chemicals during separation and enrichment of uranium or spent fuel as well as the radioactive waste that results in the end of a fuel cycle are a huge issue. 'In theory, I'd say 'Research nuclear reactors: Yes! Nuclear power as an energy source: No!' But there, look at me - on my computer, with the lights on, drinking some coffee i have just prepared using one kW of power. 'We should also look into means of producing cleaner energy, for example nuclear fusion. Dangerous: The sealed-off Chernobyl nuclear power plant, pictured in March 2015 . Massive: Bionerd at the foot of the detection system. She said she finds the attention to her videos 'quite awkward' 'But I cannot demand that we shut off coal plants followed by nuclear power plants within the next ten years, as we need to have a true, reliable and sufficient alternative before that step.' And while Bionerd's videos are rightly receiving praise from around the world due to their scientific content, many have flocked to praise Bionerd's punk style and good looks. How does she feel about that attention? 'If somebody flatters me, it's quite awkward - kind of like if you hand in a manuscript to a book your have put a lot of time and effort into while writing it, and the publisher then writes back to you and just says that you have an absolutely beautiful and marvellous handwriting. 'It's not a bad thing, but it's not really what you want to hear, either.' To see more, visit Bionerd's YouTube channel.

Edinson Cavani found a novel way of burying bad news, as the PSG striker overcame another disappointing night's work against Barcelona with a day out at the zoo. The Uruguayan has struggled in the shadow of Zlatan Ibrahimovic during his time in the French capital, and continued to toil at the Camp Nou, as Laurent Blanc's side went down to a comfortable 2-0 second-leg defeat. But rather than wallow in self-pity, the 28-year-old put on his cardigan and headed for a local zoo. Edinson Cavani strokes the head of a male goat at the animal sanctuary he visited after Barcelona defeat . Cavani perches himself on a wooden fence for a photo opportunity with the llamas his South American friends . The PSG striker beams in a selfie taken with a nonchalant brown bear on his day away from the training ground . Cavani was all smiles as he posed for pictures with goats, bears and perhaps found solace in paying a visit to his fellow South American llamas. The former Napoli forward has registered 18 goals for the Ligue 1 side this season in all competitions, but it hasn't stopped the pedigree of the £55million signing being questioned by the national media. Cavasni has expressed his desire to stay at the Paris club for the duration of his contract, but Manchester United are said to be monitoring his situation closely, with Louis van Gaal not expected to take up the option of signing Radamel Falco on a permanent deal.

Ed Miliband’s US adviser pays no tax in Britain on his reported £300,000 salary, he has admitted. David Axelrod masterminded two presidential election victories for Barack Obama and was hired by the Labour leader amid great fanfare last year. He has helped refine Mr Miliband’s message about tackling the cost of living and making sure the wealthy pay their fair share. Advisor: David Axelrod (right) masterminded two presidential election victories for Barack Obama (left). They are pictured together in February 2008 on a campaign aircraft in Idaho, nine months before his first win . And he will have been aware of Labour’s eye-catching crackdown on non-doms last week. But speaking in the US where he is promoting his autobiography, Mr Axelrod revealed he is not resident for tax purposes in the UK. Asked whether he pays tax in Britain, he told the Daily Telegraph: ‘I don’t do my accounting so I don’t know but I’m not in residence there.’ Labour confirmed it pays Mr Axelrod in dollars through his consultancy firm and that he ‘lives in the US, works in the US and pays taxes in the US’. Hired by the Labour leader: Mr Axelrod (right) has helped refine Ed Miliband’s message about tackling the cost of living and making sure the wealthy pay their fair share . Mr Axelrod makes infrequent visits to the UK to meet Mr Miliband and also offers advice by phone. Mr Miliband made his crackdown on those do not pay tax on their foreign earnings a key pledge in his manifesto. Some remain ‘non-domiciled’ for tax despite spending most of their time in the UK but others, critics of Mr Miliband have claimed, are genuinely only in the country for short periods. Labour frontbenchers have expressed concerns that despite his high salary, Mr Axelrod has been ‘invisible’ ahead of polling day. His biography does not mention his work for Mr Miliband. It is understood that Lynton Crosby, the Conservatives’ Australian election chief, pays full taxes on his earnings in both the UK and Australia, however he is currently working full-time in the UK. David Axelrod: Two presidential triumphs in the US . Behind David Axelrod's self-confessed 'tired and rumpled' appearance lies one of the sharpest political brains of his generation. He won fame in the US after helping to convince Americans to pick their first black president in 2008 and then helped Barack Obama's re-election four years later. But the two presidential triumphs are only the highest profile in a string of Democrat successes that have made the 60-year-old New Yorker a back room political superstar. It began 30 years ago when, fresh from quitting his job as the youngest ever political editor of the Chicago Tribune, he helped oust a three-term Republican senator for Illinois. Three years later, he was a key member of the team that helped re-elect Chicago's first black mayor Harold Washington. But he has not been as successful in Europe. Former Italian prime minister Mario Monti secured only 10.5 per cent of the vote in Italy in 2013 despite the guru's advice.

A former model had to be restrained by police after being caught driving - having downed a bottle of wine before she got behind the wheel. Monica McDermott, 41, could not walk straight when police stopped her black Lexus on a road in Macclesfield, Cheshire. The mother-of-one refused to give a breath sample after coming to a halt on Churchill Way and had to be restrained when she tried to climb out of a police patrol car, a court heard. Monica McDermott, centre, during her modelling days. The 41-year-old had to be restrained by police after she was arrested for drink-driving. When officers breathalyzed her she was three times over the limit . McDermott, now aged 41, pleaded guilty to drink driving at Macclesfield Magistrates' court. She told the court she had drank a bottle of wine while her son was away on a trip, adding: 'I was lonely... I got myself in a state' When police finally managed to breathalyse her, she was three times the limit. McDermott, who works for a marketing company, pleaded guilty to drink driving when she appeared at Macclesfield Magistrates' court. It came after she avoided prison in 2012 when she crashed her car in nearby Alderley Edge while four times the legal limit. She was banned from driving for two years. Monica McDermott (pictured) could not walk straight when police stopped her Lexus on a road in Macclesfield, Cheshire . Prosecuting, Debbie Byrne said a police officer had to use an incapacitating spray when McDermott tried to get out of the police car. She told the court: 'Police received information about a black Lexus driving all over the road and nearly hitting cars. 'The officer turned on the emergency lights but the car made no attempt to stop. He drove diagonally to block her way. 'She crept the car forward like she was trying to drive off. He reached inside to turn the engine off. When she got out she struggled to walk in a straight line. 'She refused to give a breath sample and tried to get out of the police car. The officer used captor spray and called officers to restrain her.' McDermott, of Macclesfield, told magistrates she had been drinking more because she felt isolated after moving home. She said: 'My son was away on a trip and I was lonely. I had been drinking in the afternoon and got myself in a state. My friend said to go around and stay the night. 'I'd had a bottle of wine but thought I'd left enough time and would be ok. I couldn't believe I got in this mess again. 'I could have harmed someone. I'm embarrassed and ashamed.' Probation officer Mike Isherwood said McDermott has had a series of traumatic life experiences. Macclesfield Magistrates' Court (pictured) banned McDermott for driving for four years, but she escaped jail . Adrian Long, chairman of the bench, said: 'We've listened to what you and Mr Isherwood said but it was a very high reading and you have a previous conviction.' She was given an 18-month community order, alcohol rehabilitation programme, 120 hours unpaid work and was banned from driving for four years. Probation officer Mike Isherwood said: 'Her experiences in life have been chaotic. I don't think she'd cope well in prison. I've not seen anyone with such low mood.'

Many people might think that trust issues, long distances and cheating scandals are the biggest strains on a relationship. But they are wrong. It's IKEA. A psychology expert has confirmed that shopping at or assembling furniture from the Scandinavian store chain can be a serious source of friction between a couple, thanks to the high levels of stress caused by both activities. 'The store literally becomes a map of a relationship nightmare,' Ramani Durvasula, a clinical psychologist in Santa Monica, California, told The Wall Street Journal. Scroll down for video . Can your relationship handle it? Experts say that shopping at IKEA can cause serious friction between couples - and assembling the store's wares makes it even worse . 'Walking through the kitchens brings up touchy subjects, like who does most of the cooking. Then you get to the children’s section, which opens up another set of issues. And that’s before you've even tried assembling anything,' she said. Ramani revealed that so many couples admitted to her that they were prone to fighting while assembling furniture, that she decided to include furniture assembly in her therapy sessions. And her couples are not alone; a report by CivicScience states that 17 per cent of couples confessed that they would argue every time they assembled furniture together, and therapists reported to WSJ that couples who are able to successfully assemble furniture together as a team actually have a healthier relationship. 'The Divorcemaker': This Liatorp home entertainment unit requires two people for assembly and involves putting together a large amount of shelving . Shopping for trouble: Clinical psychologist Ramani Durvasula brings furniture assembly into therapy sessions after so many couples described fighting while putting together IKEA items . Getting into particulars, Ramani explained that the more complicated the assembly, the more likely your new IKEA buy will leave you and your partner at odds. She revealed that a smaller unit like a Nornäs coffee table won't put too many demands on your relationship, but it's a different story for a large wall unit like the $1,199 Liatorp unit, which Ramani has dubbed 'The Divorcemaker'. The description of the item on IKEA's website includes a lengthy 'Good To Know' section outlining the different ways you can mess up the unit's assembly, saying that you need two people to put it together. 'Handle with care!' it reads. 'A damaged edge or scratched surface can in exceptional cases cause the glass to crack suddenly. However, never into sharp fragments, only into small pieces. Avoid collisions from the side - this is where the glass is most vulnerable.' Its relationship-ruining qualities don't seem to be doing the the home furnishings giant any harm however, as it has 298 stores in 26 countries, and boasts a revenue of more than $36 billion a year. As for how to avoid having the dreaded 'IKEA meltdown' with your partner, Janice Simonsen, design spokesperson for IKEA US, recommends to WSJ that you agree on a style before walking into the store.

A psychology expert has revealed that the stress of a visit to the store can cause serious friction between couples . She warned that customers avoid one particular unit known as the Liatorp, which retails for $1,199 and is notoriously tricky to build .

An unknown man's theft of a Texas neighborhood's wild peacock was caught on camera by surveillance video as he roughly handled the beautiful bird. Residents of Beckley Club Estates in Dallas, Texas, say that they saw a man approach a male peacock, who was in the middle of its mating ritual and had unfurled its full plumage, before quickly snatching him up on Saturday. Footage from the home of Lisa Solis shows the thief grab the animal by both its claws before shoving him in his black SUV around 7pm. Residents of a Dallas neighborhood saw a man approach a male peacock, who was in the middle of its mating ritual and had unfurled its full plumage, before quickly snatching him up on Saturday . The man is seen bending down and picking up the bird by its claws before shoving it into his black Chevy Tahoe with its feathers sticking out of the door . Solis's neighbor Tisha Crear said she saw the event, and rushed out of the house and yelled at the man, but could only watch as he drove off with half of the peacock's feathers hanging out of the door. Ms Crear said that she had heard peahens screaming before the incident when the bird, the largest and oldest male peacock of those that live in the subdivision, was stolen, according to NBC Dallas. Ms Solid called the theft and aggressive treatment of the bird animal cruelty. 'Do I need to sit on the porch with a shotgun or what do I have to do? Because we are going to protect the peacocks,' Ms Crear said, holding a feather from the stolen bird. Residents of the neighborhood, where peacocks have lived for the past 20 years, filed a report to the police about the missing animal . Surveillance video also shows the black Chevy Tahoe driver stalking the birds for 20 minutes before he grabbed his target. The suspect is described as a Hispanic man who was wearing shorts, a white shirt and a baseball cap. Peacocks have lived in the neighborhood for 20 years, according to the Dallas Morning News. Residents, who have reported the incident to police, are also worried about the birds' long term survival if the peacock patriarch is not able to return and fertilize eggs. Neighbors have previously organized to protect the animals following one resident's complaint.

(CNN)The accidental death of a 2-year-old boy in Milwaukee on Sunday triggered a violent chain of events, eventually claiming the lives of three more people. It all started with a birthday party that little Damani Terry was attending. During the family gathering, he dashed out into the street and was struck and killed by a GMC van, according to Milwaukee police. The distraught driver, Archie Brown Jr., 40, immediately stopped and got out to tend to the boy. But it was too late, police said. Damani was dead. Damani's alarmed family came running, including his older brother, 15-year-old Rasheed Chiles, police said. That was not the end of the situation. Soon, two more people would also die: the driver and the teen were both felled by bullets fired by the same man, police said. That man, identified as Ricky Ricardo Chiles III, was located late Wednesday at a Chicago-area hotel. He committed suicide as authorities closed in with a warrant for his arrest, Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn told reporters. "Chicago police and United States Marshals Service entered the hotel room, whereupon Mr. Chiles took his own life with his firearm," the police chief said Thursday. An accidental death, a fatal retaliation rips apart two families . Damani's family members had previously identified the shooting suspect as the boys' uncle. "Sunday was the worst day I ever lived in my whole entire life," Lena Tidwell, told CNN affiliate WISN. "It's a day I wish had never, never came." Tidwell is the boys' grandmother and the mother of the alleged gunman. She said she was inside eating cake and ice cream at the birthday when her life turned upside down. "I didn't know my grandbaby got hit, and then I heard people just screaming," she said. "Then I just heard gunshots, and my daughter ran in the house with the baby in her arms." The family believes the uncle targeted Brown, and Rasheed was struck by an errant bullet. "I heard he was trying to pick his brother up. He was trying to hold him and save him," a family friend, Stephanie Townsend, told CNN affiliate WITI. Earlier this week, Flynn bemoaned the apparent madness of what happened. "What did we have Sunday?" Flynn asked. "We had some clown take the law into his own hands and murder a guy who was doing what we expect good citizens to do, and oops, accidentally kill somebody else."

Ricky Ricardo Chiles III was suspected in the shooting deaths of two people . Police say the chain of events started Sunday when a 2-year-old dashed out in front a vehicle and was killed . The driver of the vehicle and the boy's older brother died from gunshots .

New York City in the height of summer with children. Would you buy that for a dollar? Precisely. But take your crew 90 minutes north of the Big Apple to Mohonk Mountain House in the heart of the Hudson Valley and you’ll not regret it for a second. It gets its name from the surrounding Mohonk Preserve, on the fringes of the monumental Shawangunk Ridge, a vast cliff band that runs down through Pennsylvania to New Jersey. It is astonishing to find such wilderness so close to the city. The hotel is a faux-gothic Victorian castle and may look too faux to European eyes, but the lake, gardens and trails are a vast adventure playground for all ages. A world away: The faux-gothic Victorian castle hotel Mohonk Mountain House enjoys a spectacular location . Perfect: Felix found the hotel, lake, gardens and trails to be an adventure playground for his young family . One afternoon, we check our two girls into the kids’ club and climb up the Labyrinth trail (one of eight epic scrambles) to Lookout Tower on the high bluff above the lake. We clamber over boulders, up timber ladders and squeeze through tiny gaps in the cliff band. The 360-degree views are inspirational. The kids’ club is the best we have experienced. Our girls make paper bag whales, cork puppets and chalk drawings, dress up and sing songs, go on pony and boat rides. We use the club as a drop-in once or twice a day, using our free time to explore the 5,000 acres of hotel grounds and the surrounding preserve. Water water everywhere: The hotel sits on the banks of Lake Mohonk in New York State's Hudson Valley . Another afternoon, we check in to the spa; another morning, we ride Eagle Ridge on horseback as turkey vultures, red-tailed hawks and bald eagles soar overhead. In between, we have a ball with the children. We take them out on the lake in pedalos, and walk the lakeside path following a baby deer. On the opposite side of the lake, a path down from the cliff leads to a sandy beach and swimming area. High on the cliff above is the Granary restaurant, a wonderful open-air grill that serves lunch and lobster cook-outs. Rooms are divided between the four sections of the hotel, some traditional, some contemporary. All are comfortable, a good size and most come with private balconies. There are no TVs. Splash: Guests of the hotel can enjoy a day on the lake in canoes, one of many available outdoor activities . The hotel began life as a ten-room drinking inn. Then, 145 years ago, two Quaker twins, Albert and Alfred Smiley, fell in love with its setting and bought it to use as a teetotal retreat for the great and good.

Indiana has seen a 'significant increase' in the number of cases of HIV more than two weeks into a short-term needle exchange program approved by Gov. Mike Pence, state health officials said on Friday. There are now 120 confirmed HIV cases and 10 preliminary positive cases tied to Scott County, about 30 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky. That's up from 106 last week, said the Indiana State Department of Health. Health officials who declared an epidemic last month have said they expect the number of cases to rise as more people are tested. But the growing number could put pressure on Pence to extend the 30-day needle exchange program that he approved on March 26. Scroll down for video . More than two weeks into a short-term needle exchange program approved by Gov. Mike Pence, there are now 120 confirmed HIV cases and 10 preliminary positive cases tied to Scott County, about 30 miles north of Louisville, Kentucky . Spokeswoman Kara Brooks said Pence is reviewing reports and recommendations from health officials and will make a decision early next week about extending the program beyond April 25. The Scott County outbreak has occurred among intravenous drug users and primarily involves the use of the high-powered painkiller Opana, health officials have said. The county typically sees about five HIV cases each year. Since Pence approved the temporary needle exchange, 5,322 clean syringes have been provided to 86 participants, health officials said Friday. About 1,400 used syringes have been returned. Brittany Combs, public health nurse for the Scott County Health Department, said the needle-exchange program had 'really picked up a lot this week,' in large part because a mobile unit has been traveling around neighborhoods seeking to get more IV drug users into the program. 'It's that trust factor. You have to gain that trust, and I think we're slowly starting to do that,' Combs said. But the future of the Scott County program, as well as the fate of legislation that would allow needle-exchange programs in other counties, isn't clear. The Scott County outbreak has occurred among intravenous drug users and primarily involves the use of the high-powered prescription painkiller Opana, health officials have said . Pence opposes needle exchanges as an anti-drug policy. Senate President Pro Tem David Long said on Thursday that the emergency exchange for Scott County was 'the right reaction' but wasn't sure if it is the correct approach long-term. Nor was he sure whether the Senate would support legislation sponsored by House Public Health Committee Chairman Ed Clere, R-New Albany, that would allow the 23 Indiana counties with the highest rate-per-population of hepatitis C to establish their own needle-exchange programs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that between 50 percent and 90 percent of people with hepatitis C are also infected with HIV. Health officials say because of this, high rates of hepatitis C are a key indicator of needle-sharing and a potential HIV outbreak. The House approved the bill on April 7 in a 54-39 vote, and the measure is scheduled for a hearing on Monday in a House-Senate conference committee, which will try to work out a final version for lawmakers to consider before the Legislature's April 29 adjournment deadline. Long said Pence isn't alone in his concerns that needle exchanges could promote drug use instead of prevent it. 'At the same time, you adapt and you evolve based on the world we live in, so we're going to have to see if that requires a pivot for us,' Long said. Medical waste containers stored in preparation for Scott County residents that are looking to exchange used needles. The needle-exchange program was created through an emergency executive order signed last week by Gov. Mike Pence in an attempt to curb the state's largest-ever HIV outbreak . Clere said he appreciates Pence's approval of the short-term needle exchange but that 'it doesn't help in other areas of the state that are at risk for a similar outbreak. It's just not enough.' He said the association between needle exchanges and illegal drug activity makes many people, including lawmakers, uncomfortable. But he thinks the exchange program shouldn't be viewed as anti-drug policy, but as 'a proven and effective harm-reduction policy.' 'We simply can't afford to view this as a short-term problem,' Clere said. Money could also be an issue as lawmakers weigh their options. Since 1989, the federal government has banned public funding of needle exchange programs. Pence's executive order didn't include money for the Scott County program. 'They asked the state agencies to find their own money. How sustainable is that?' said Dr. Beth Meyerson, co-director of the Rural Center for AIDS/STD Prevention at Indiana University. 'There's no evidence that the Pence administration is thinking about this in the long term at all.'

A pitcher with the Colorado Rockies is taking some time out from the sport to care for his young son, who was bitten by a rattlesnake last month in Arizona. Right-handed reliever John Axford was placed on the family medical emergency list before the Rockies game on Sunday. His son had surgery last Monday - opening day for the Rockies - on his right foot to remove necrotic tissue. John Axford, right, has been placed on the family medical emergency list by the Colorado Rockies. His son Jameson, left, was bitten twice by a rattlesnake last month and requires more treatment. Axford celebrated h is birthday on April 1 by enjoying cake with his sons, JB, left, and Jameson, right . Axford said the toes of 2-year-old Jameson 'look fine,' but doctors are trying to improve mobility as they combat infection. Jameson will board an emergency medical flight on Monday to Denver for more treatment. 'We still have a long road, a long process to go,' Axford said. 'But at least I'll be able to be closer to him.' His son was bitten twice in the yard of the house his family rented in Scottsdale for spring training. The family was hoping for 'better things' after the surgery. 'The necrotic tissue on his foot ended up being worse than we thought,' explained Axford, who also has a 3-year-old son, JB. 'There was a lot of infection in there and it was a staph infection. The tissue they thought was going to be good turned out to not be great. … His foot is in pretty rough shape in spots.' More surgery will be necessary, and Axford said one of the top surgeons is in Denver. The Axford family will board an emergency medical flight on Monday to Denver so that Jameson, center, can have more treatment . 'The doctors in Arizona have been amazing. They've texted me, called me, keeping me updated with everything,' Axford said. 'They told me they all agreed that this was the worst rattlesnake bite they'd seen in the area. It's pretty unfortunate that it went that way for him, but it was fortunate that it was in the area that it was, on his foot, not somewhere else on his body, especially with the damage that was done.' Axford will be out for at least three days and a maximum of a week. Axford has made one appearance for the Rockies this season, getting a save with a scoreless 10th inning on Wednesday at Milwaukee. But really his mind has been anywhere but the ballpark. His wife, Nicole, has been constantly by his son's side at the hospital. Given Jameson's age, Axford is hoping his son won't remember too much about this incident. 'Hopefully because he is 2 he'll be able to erase it from his memory. But he'll have an incredible scar on his foot to show people and he'll have the story from us,' Axford said. Axford, who has been given sick leave for at least three days and a maximum of a week, tweeted his thanks last month for the support his family had received after Jameson, 2, was bitten twice by a rattlesnake . Rockies manager Walt Weiss went through a health scare with his son more than a decade ago and shared his story with Axford. When Weiss was playing for Atlanta in 1998, his son, Brody, got E. coli and developed a blood disease. Brody Weiss was in critical condition for a few weeks. Now Brody is playing baseball at a community college. 'Dealt with a life-and-death situation with my son and was away from the team for a while, and so I was certainly able to empathize with him, in sharing that story,' Walt Weiss said. 'That doesn't make it any easier for John, but I think it helps when someone can share a similar experience with you.' To take Axford's spot, the Rockies selected the contract of righty Scott Oberg from Triple-A Albuquerque. They also transferred infielder Charlie Culberson (back) to the 60-day disabled list.

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

While Lively, married to Ryan Reynolds remained above board friendly, Churchill was able to live out one dream, getting a photo with the star and even mentioning his crush on husband Ryan Reynolds to the star. 'I am not one to go all fan-boy like so I kept my cool but there was one thing I had to be honest about,' Churchill revealed. 'I said "Blake, I am a massive fan of your work (as are the rest of the legends in my country), however my brothers would not look me in the eye if I didn't admit how much of a massive fan we are of your man Ryan."' And just like that the bond was formed, according to Churchill. 'She absolutely loved it and couldn't stop smiling. I think she loved that I was real and could hold an honest conversation.'

(CNN)Looting, fires and violence descended on Baltimore. Like most who know and love that city, I was heartbroken. I was once a cop in Baltimore. Police, trying to save their city last weekend, were blamed both for doing too little and for doing too much. The ghetto, and I'm talking class and not race, was on full display by Monday. The whole nation saw beautiful Baltimore at its worst. The protests started in response to the death of Freddie Gray in police hands. We still don't know what happened to Freddie Gray. Something bad happened. There's an investigation. Maybe the investigation should be going faster. But maybe rushing the investigation would compromise prosecution. (And forced testimony can't be used in prosecution; police officers too have constitutional rights as criminal defendants.) I don't know. Here's the thing: Police officers who weren't there don't know what happened to Freddie Gray. If there are criminally guilty cops, police have no problem with justice. But those who caused destruction on Monday had little, if anything, to do with Freddie Gray protests. They were, as the mayor put it, thugs. Call them what you will, normally what happens in the hood stays in the hood. Those who cut fire hoses and burned down homes and businesses? Police deal with them every day, literally. Those criminals didn't just appear on Monday, and they won't be gone tomorrow. They live there, without jobs, education, mainstream social skills, or hope. They don't come from stable families. They don't go to church. Most violent criminals are actively or passively involved in the drug trade. In Baltimore this year -- just like last year and just like next year -- police will arrest tens of thousands of poor black men, mostly on drug charges. From the same pool, 200 will be shot and killed. Another 200 will do the killing. These are communities, like the Baltimore's Eastern District, in which more than 10% of men are murdered. If all of America had homicide levels found in parts of Baltimore, there would be over 300,000 murders per year (as opposed to the still shamefully high 12,000 homicides in America). And yet some continue to think of police as the main problem rather than part of the solution. But Baltimore is not Ferguson. The police department is 50% non-white. The mayor is black. So is the police commissioner. The city is 65% African-American. So imagine you're a young white cop, as I was, in a rough neighborhood. A nice retired African-American gentleman calls 911 because the kids in front of his house, also black, are rowdy, breaking bottles, selling drugs, and otherwise being disrespectful. Just out of the police academy, I pulled up to countless of these situations. What to do? Usually I stopped, stared, and they moved on. Sometimes I would get out of my car. But I shouldn't have to. We all played by the same rules. It's about respect. Sometimes I would ask politely. Sometimes I had to order rudely. Sometimes I would ask for ID. Sometimes I would frisk, search, or arrest. That's what cops do. Every day. That's what I did. I had to. That was my job. Ultimately police are in a no-win situation. And when things go wrong, they go wrong fast. People run. There are fights. Guns. People get hurt. Sometimes people die. Sometimes -- not very often -- it's the police officer's fault. But even if there were no racist or brutal cops -- if every cop were a polite, fit, college-educated, bilingual, African-American gentleman or woman -- this wouldn't solve the greater problems of the ghetto or even police abuse. Police abuse has less to do with race than poverty and class. And police will never solve the problems of absent parents, mass incarceration, or a violence culture centered around the economics of drug prohibition. Even so, rather than face up to our problems, we calls for the cops to do something, anything. Yes, bad cops need to be punished. But it's too easy to blame police for all our problems. Problems police did not cause and cannot solve. And then when a cop makes a mistake, as one inevitably will, we jump on all police with a confident smugness and unbecoming glee. The problems in policing mirror the problems of society. We can and should improve police. The best way to do that is to improve society. True justice requires us to look both inward for blame and outward to the suffering around us. The worst thing we could do is nothing at all.

Peter Moskos: When man died in police custody, many unfairly blamed all Baltimore cops. But cops are in a no-win situation . He says those who trashed city are part of larger societal woes of poverty and class. In just blaming cops, we ignore source of strife .

Rafael Nadal's bid for a ninth Barcelona Open title ended in third-round defeat as Italian Fabio Fognini edged a hard-fought encounter 6-4, 7-6 (8-6) to move into the quarter-finals. Second-seed Nadal had easily seen off Nicolas Almagro in the previous round but found himself in trouble against Fognini, who had won in three sets in their previous meeting on the clay of Rio earlier this year. And on the same surface in front of Nadal's home crowd, it was Fognini who took the opening set 6-4 after a crucial break in the latter stages, though the second set was to prove an even tighter affair. Rafael Nadal was dumped out of the Barcelona Open after losing to Italian Fabio Fognini in the third round . In front of a home crowd, the world No 4 was looking for his ninth career title on the Catalan clay court . Fognini was able to save six break points in the opening game before conceding it to Nadal, though neither player really dominated even as the Spaniard went 4-2 up. After Fognini first fought back to 4-4, the set eventually went to a tie-break with Nadal this time having to work his way back from facing match point at 6-3 to level up. Nadal showed his resolve late on but it was Fognini who eventually won through 8-6, with his opponent missing a relatively routine forehand. It was Fognini's first win in his six Barcelona appearances but he will now face Pablo Andujar, who also caused an upset in coming through 6-3, 6-4 against fifth-seed Feliciano Lopez. Nadal, who was denied his 20th win of the season, cut an extremely disappointed figure after his defeat, going so far as terming it 'a disaster'. In quotes published on the Barcelona Open website, the world No 4 said: 'My game was mundane. I didn't have enough power, speed and control in my forehand. I didn't manage to push Fognini back. Fognini edged a hard-fought encounter 6-4, 7-6 (8-6) to move into the quarter-finals of the Barcelona Open . 'Fabio played better and he deserved to win. I did not deserve to win. That's why I will accept the upcoming challenges. I will work hard until I get back to my best. But it will be a while. 'It's a very sad day for me. This tournament means a lot to me, it's one of the best ATP 500 events on the tour and I feel at home.' Defending champion Kei Nishikori had little trouble going past Santiago Giraldo in straight sets, the 6-2, 6-1 win coming in just under 90 minutes. Nishikori, who had beaten Giraldo to win the crown last year, survived several break points to ensure a match-up against Roberto Bautista Agut of Spain. Spaniard Nadal has just one title to his name since winning his 10th French Open in June last year . Fognini (pictued) goes on to face Pablo Andujar, who also caused an upset against fifth seed Feliciano Lopez . Argentina's Pablo Cuevas made a good fist of his third-round match against Bautista Agut, even stretching the first set to a tie-break, but the seventh seed eventually won 7-6, (7-5) 6-2. David Ferrer continued the home presence in the tournament as he fended off Swedish wildcard Elias Ymer 6-3, 6-4 to set up a clash with Philipp Kohlschreiber who beat Benoit Paire 6-4, 7-6 (8-6). Martin Klizan levelled up his head-to-head record at 1-1 against Victor Estrella Burgos after beating him 6-4, 6-3 to progress to the quarter-finals. He faces the winner of an all-home encounter involving Tommy Robredo and Marcel Granollers.

A passenger waiting to board a plane in an airport terminal has been hospitalised with deep cuts on his leg and buttocks after he broke a toilet he was squatting on. Passenger Jin Pai, 35, was standing on the rim of a toilet in Hefei Xinqiao International Airport in the city of Hefei, the capital city of eastern China's Anhui Province, when it smashed to the ground. According to airport officials he had not wanted to let his bottom touch the seat because he was 'worried it might not be clean'. Passenger Jin Pai, 35, was standing on the rim of a toilet when it collapsed, leaving him hospitalised . The smashed up toilet in Hefei Xinqiao International Airport in the city of Hefei . But he was caught out when the porcelain toilet then tipped over and shattered on the floor, cutting the man in several places. The injured man was found bleeding on the toilet floor after he had telephoned his travelling companions for help. He had been too embarrassed to shout for help and had hoped they would assist but he was too badly hurt for anything other than an immediate trip to hospital. Authorities and emergency personnel arrived to check the man into a Hefei hospital, where he received several dozens stitches on his left leg and buttocks. Then man broke the toilet in Hefei Xinqiao International Airport in the city of Hefei . The passenger reportedly confessed to his friends that he was squatting on the toilet, but later changed his story to the police, possibly to avoid paying compensation, and said he was sitting when the poorly built toilet gave way. Authorities said they believed the incident was an accident. Police spokesman Bo Chiang said: 'In any case, we would like to remind people that these toilets are for sitting on, not for standing on.'

The Pillars of Creation are one of the most iconic images ever to be captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Now, astronomers have produced the first complete three-dimensional view of these beautiful columns of interstellar gas and dust. The image, together with data collected by Nasa, suggests these structures only have three million years left before they fade away - a relatively short time in cosmic terms. Scroll down for video . The new observations, taken by the European Space Agency, reveal many new details — including a previously unseen jet from a young star. The original Hubble Space Telescope image of the famous Pillars of Creation was taken two decades ago and immediately became one of its most famous and evocative pictures. The jutting structures, along with the nearby star cluster, NGC 6611, are parts of a star formation region called the Eagle Nebula, also known as Messier 16 or M16. The nebula and its associated objects are located about 7000 light-years away in the constellation of Serpens (The Serpent). Located in the Eagle Nebula, Messier 16, researchers used the Muse instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) create the 3D view. The new study reports fresh evidence for two gestating stars in the left and middle pillars as well as a jet from a young star that had escaped attention up to now. For more stars to form in environments like the Pillars of Creation, it is a race against time as intense radiation from the powerful stars that are already shining continues to grind away at the pillars. By measuring the Pillars of Creation's rate of evaporation, Muse has given astronomers a time frame for when the pillars will be no more. They shed about 70 times the mass of the sun every million years or so. Based on the their present mass of about 200 times that of the sun, the Pillars of Creation have an expected lifetime of perhaps three million more years. Some scientists have put forward the theory that the Pillars of Creation were already killed by a neighboring supernova some 6,000 years ago. If this is the case, astronomers on Earth won’t know for another 1,000 years, when the light from the descruction reaches our planet. 'The original Nasa/Esa Hubble Space Telescope image of the famous Pillars of Creation was taken two decades ago and immediately became one of its most famous and evocative pictures,' said Esa.' This view shows how the MUSE instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope has created a three-dimensional view of the iconic Pillars of Creation in the star-forming region Messier 16. Each pixel in the data corresponds to a spectrum. The 'slices' of data correspond to some of the different chemical elements present. 'Since then, these billowing clouds, which extend over a few light-years, have awed scientists and the public alike.' The jutting structures, along with the nearby star cluster, NGC 6611, are parts of a star formation region called the Eagle Nebula, also known as Messier 16 or M16. The nebula and its associated objects are located about 7000 light-years away in the constellation of Serpens (The Serpent). The Pillars of Creation are a classic example of the column-like shapes that develop in the giant clouds of gas and dust that are the birthplaces of new stars. The columns arise when immense, freshly formed blue–white O and B stars give off intense ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds that blow away less dense materials from their vicinity. Denser pockets of gas and dust, however, can resist this erosion for longer. Behind such thicker dust pockets, material is shielded from the harsh, withering glare of O and B stars. The original NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of the famous Pillars of Creation was taken two decades ago . This shielding creates dark 'tails' or 'elephant trunks', which we see as the dusky body of a pillar, that point away from the brilliant stars. ESO's Muse instrument on the Very Large Telescope has now helped illustrate the ongoing evaporation of the Pillars of Creation in unprecedented detail, revealing their orientation. MUSE has shown that the tip of the left pillar is facing us, atop a pillar that is is actually situated behind NGC 6611, unlike the other pillars. This tip is bearing the brunt of the radiation from NGC 6611's stars, and as a result looks brighter to our eyes than the bottom left, middle and right pillars, whose tips are all pointed away from our view. Astronomers hope to better understand how young O and B stars like those in NGC 6611 influence the formation of subsequent stars.

Lionel Messi is not the best player in the world, neither is Cristiano Ronaldo - that title belongs to Paris Saint-Germain forward Javier Pastore, according to Eric Cantona. Making a rare foray into discussing football matters, Manchester United legend Cantona delivered his surprising verdict that the Argentine was the ‘most creative’ player in the world. ‘The best player in the world, the most exciting player in the world, is [Javier] Pastore from Paris Saint-Germain,’ said Cantona, ‘Why? Because I watched two games just to see Pastore playing, giving passes. He has got something special. Because football is interactive, it's why football is so popular, I think.’ Javier Pastore (right) celebrates after winning the French League Cup with PSG last Saturday . The Argentina international is the best player in the world, according to former striker Eric Cantona . The former Manchester United forward was speaking at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Shanghai . Pastore, who cost the French league leaders £29million, has three goals and five assists this season compared with Messi’s 45 goals for Barcelona and Cristiano Ronaldo’s 51 for Spanish rivals Real Madrid. But statistics did not colour Cantona’s assessment. ‘Pastore can do things that the other ones don't know, he does things that surprise you every time. Not only in scoring goals, spectacular goals - everything. Just passing. He's a very creative player. He's the most creative player, I think, in the world today. It's why I think he's the best player in the world, because I love this kind of player.’ Cantona was third in the Ballon d’Or in 1993 behind Roberto Baggio and Dennis Bergkamp. He won the Premier League four times with United before retiring from playing aged 30. No stranger to prompting debate, Cantona invited more controversy by suggesting Spain had only won the World Cup because of the influence of Barcelona on the national team. Cristiano Ronaldo was crowned the best player in the world for 2014 at the award ceremony in January . The Real Madrid forward has scored 51 goals in all competitions this season . Barcelona forward Lionel Messi has also been overlooked by Cantona despite netting 45 times this season . ‘Catalonia won the World Cup,’ said Cantona, speaking at the Laureus World Sports Awards in Shanghai. ‘Spain won it with 10 Barcelona players in the team. Spain did not win the World Cup, Catalonia did. Barcelona won it. ‘My grandparents are from Catalunya, from Barcelona. They arrived in France in '39. There was a civil war. So, I am very proud of Barcelona and all that they have done. ‘I’m sure that as soon as the youth set-up from Barcelona and other Spanish teams draw new, good players, Spain will emerge again.’

Eric Cantona says PSG midfielder Javier Pastore is world's best player . Pastore cost the French champions £29million from Palermo in 2011 . Argentine has scored three goals and made five more this season . Pastore is the most creative player in the world according to Cantona . Frenchman also says Spain only won World Cup because of Barcelona .

It was a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to work with one of Australia's most well-known personal trainers. But followers of Gold Coast training queen Ashy Bines were shocked to receive an email on Saturday advertising one of her exclusive programs for an eye-popping $US49,500 per year. Ms Bines on Monday apologised to her 'very angry and upset' followers after an extra zero was added to the cost of the yearlong program - the real price being a tenth of that, or $4,950. 'There was a mistake in the wording,' Ms Bines said in an email to her thousands of followers, after questions from Daily Mail Australia. Scroll down for video . Ashy Bines, pictured, upset her followers when she mistakenly advertised the price of one of her courses as $US49,500 - ten times it's real $USD4950 price . 'It was meant to be 10% of the price, but there was an extra zero on the end,' Ms Bines said . 'It was meant to be a 10% of the price, but there was an extra zero on the end. 'This caused a lot of girls to be very angry and upset with me which is the last thing I ever want. Ms Bines blamed the confusion on an unnamed editor. 'Now everyone makes mistakes and my editor made a big boo-boo and felt terrible all weekend after seeing how upset my girls were. 'I am a terrible speller myself hence why I have an editor and I think this is her first mistake in 4 years! 'I apologise for the confusion and so does my editor'. One astonished follower wrote on Ms Bines' Facebook page at the weekend that she would be 'homeless and starving' if she paid the originally advertised price. A spokeswoman for Ms Bines said spots in the program - which involved her taking 'your body, mind and soul to a whole new level of well-being' - have sold out . 'I'd love to do the program with the email where you give one on one advice but 50,000 omg that is what I make in a year,' wrote 'Brandi'. 'Goodness so sad I was super excited and saw the price no way I could do that I'd be homeless and starving.' A Twitter user added: 'When Ashy Bines offers you the chance to get 1 on 1 coaching for 12 months for as little as $49,500 U.S. Dollars. Haaaa what a joke'. A spokeswoman for Ms Bines said spots in the program - which involved her taking 'your body, mind and soul to a whole new level of well-being' - have sold out. Success story: Ms Bines has more than 250,000 Facebook followers . 'This has never been offered before and is a once in a life time opportunity for someone who has severely struggled and serious about their goals,' the spokeswoman said. 'This amazing offer has now been filled and is no longer available.' Ms Bines apologised to her followers a few weeks ago after admitting several recipes were plagiarised in an old edition of her recipe book. In a video, she said she had left recipe sourcing to a nutritionist who was 'better qualified' to give advice. She added that she had expected the work would be completed in a more 'honest and professional manner'.

Liverpool's FA Cup semi-final defeat has put the club under scrutiny and guaranteed this campaign will be judged a failure. The burning ambition at Anfield is for Liverpool to be Champions League regulars with the potential to win the Barclays Premier League. But, after a wretched day against Aston Villa, they are clearly some way from realising that dream. Are Liverpool heading for mediocrity? Or is there sufficient talent to ensure the mistakes are corrected and progress can be resumed? A huge summer beckons and there is no margin for error. Philippe Coutinho opens the scoring for Liverpool against Aston Villa with a smart chipped finish at Wembley . Christian Benteke (centre) scores for Aston Villa to make it 1-1 and start Tim Sherwood's side's recovery . England midfielder Fabian Delph fires in Villa's second goal to win the game and book a place in the Cup final . For all the praise that came Brendan Rodgers’ way last season, when he masterminded an unexpected and thrilling challenge for the title, the manager must accept criticism. Like his team, he has underperformed. Yes, he deserved credit for arresting a mid-winter slump. It was smart to change Liverpool’s formation to 3-4-3, sparking an impressive 13-game unbeaten run in the league. But he has not made a mark on the games that matter. At Wembley we saw a prime example. He switched systems (from 3-4-2-1 to 4-3-3 to 4-1-4-1) but Liverpool never found a rhythm. This was not an isolated case. Changes had to be made after a poor start during the 1-1 draw with Basle that led to Liverpool’s exit from the Champions League. There have been other issues. Picking an experimental line-up in the Bernabeu against Real Madrid last November was perplexing. He was outwitted by Louis van Gaal when Manchester United visited in March — it was a mistake not to start Steven Gerrard — and Mario Balotelli’s signing has given Rodgers a problem that he has not been able to solve all season. Rodgers is innovative, thorough and, crucially, still learning his trade. His teams can have style and he has absolute faith in his ability. So, too, do Fenway Sports Group, Liverpool’s owners. His future isn’t even up for consideration. But that doesn’t mean the pressure is off. Managing Liverpool comes with great expectation and Rodgers must provide the right answers come August. Then there are questions about the club’s transfer committee. It grates at Anfield how much focus is put on the committee, which comprises Rodgers, chief executive Ian Ayre, Dave Fallows, the head of recruitment, chief scout Barry Hunter, Michael Edwards, the director of technical performance, and FSG investor Mike Gordon. Yet of the 17 players they have bought at considerable cost over the last two summers, only three — Simon Mignolet, Mamadou Sakho and Emre Can — could be said to have delivered. Tiago Ilori and Divock Origi, on loan at Bordeaux and Lille respectively, remain unknown quantities but many have been duds, such as Iago Aspas, Luis Alberto, Balotelli and Lazar Markovic. Others — Dejan Lovren and Adam Lallana — look overawed. This is another world to Southampton. Brendan Rodgers looks dejected as Liverpool crash out of the FA Cup after a 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa . Liverpool manager Rodgers (far right) addresses his players during Sunday's game at Wembley Stadium . Wasting money in the market is not a new failing — Gerard Houllier, Rafa Benitez, Roy Hodgson and Kenny Dalglish made mistakes — but this is on a new level. If Rodgers is under pressure, then so are the men recommending players. FSG do not accept failure lightly. They have dispensed with two managers (Hodgson and Dalglish) and one director of football (Damien Comolli) since taking over in 2010 and will not hesitate to act if they feel things are going askew. Gerrard is going, Glen Johnson will follow, Brad Jones, Brad Smith, Jon Flanagan and Kolo Toure are out of contract. Fabio Borini has no Anfield future and nor does Balotelli. Rickie Lambert must leave to get regular football. Lucas Leiva may choose to pursue a new challenge. Raheem Sterling is at loggerheads with Liverpool over the new deal he has been offered. Jose Enrique, Martin Skrtel and Jordan Henderson have 12 months left on their contracts. Liverpool have agreed a new deal with Henderson but Skrtel is thinking about what he has been offered. Simon Mignolet is one of only three players signed over the last two years that have impressed this season . Emre Can has played with a mature head that belies his tender years since joining from Bayer Leverkusen . Put all that together and it doesn’t paint a settled picture. Rodgers did not want another window like last summer’s, with a raft of new faces, but that looks unavoidable. Signing the right players is key but in the likely event of not being able to offer Champions League football, how easy will that be? Concluding deals has been a serious problem. In the past two years, Liverpool have tried to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Diego Costa, Willian, Yevhen Konoplyanka and Alexis Sanchez without success. James Milner is on their radar, as is PSV Eindhoven’s Memphis Depay, the 21-year-old Holland winger valued at £25million. Sami Khedira’s wages are out of Liverpool’s range. They will also look to bring in a striker, but do clubs in upheaval make smooth progress? No. Absent at Wembley, just as he has been for much of the season, was Daniel Sturridge. It has been a wretched campaign for the England forward, one decimated by calf and thigh issues. Missing the semi-final will have done nothing to help his mental state. Without Luis Suarez, this should have been the year Sturridge took centre stage. Can he do it next season? He has the ability and goalscoring instinct but he will be no use to Rodgers if he is not fit for the major games. Mario Balotelli (centre) is one of a number of Liverpool signings that have failed to impress this season . Glen Johnson was sent on as a late sub for Joe Allen on Sunday is expected to leave the club this summer . Rodgers is keen for Milner, pictured in 2012, to help fill the void left by the outgoing Steven Gerrard . And finally there is the squad’s spirit and attitude. Jamie Carragher has said one of the qualities of Liverpool’s greatest sides was ‘finding a way of winning’ when the chips were down. That, however, was then, and now it is different. At Wembley, it was clear the travelling Kop doubted the character of this squad. Much focus has been put on Gerrard but it is risible to pin any blame on him for the defeat by Villa. He didn’t have the swagger of youth but, even at 34, he still looked the one who would save Liverpool, with a late header that was cleared off the line and a pinpoint ball to Balotelli. He has set the example, so who will do it when he leaves? There is a flaw in Liverpool’s mindset. Unless they toughen their resolve, they will continue to fall short. Rodgers has declared that losing can be a catalyst for success. In 12 months, he must hope his words are proven prophetic. Daniel Sturridge has spent much of the season watching from the stands due to a succession of injuries . Liverpool's players, including their captain, were outclassed by Villa at Wembley and deservedly lost .

Brendan Rodgers needs a positive summer to restore confidence at Anfield . Liverpool's transfer committee under pressure to sign better players . Rodgers now also under scrutiny after being exposed in big matches .

Bacary Sagna could end the season trophyless and lower than Arsenal in the Premier League but the Manchester City defender insists he has no regrets about leaving the Emirates for the Etihad. Sagna's acrimonious departure from Arsenal when his contract expired at the end of last season left many Gunners fans dismayed at a perceived lack of loyalty from the defender. The France international has played only 16 times for City this season in an underwhelming campaign both for him and the Premier League holders, who are languishing in fourth. Bacary Sagna (right) insists he does not regret leaving Arsenal for Manchester City last summer . Sangna (right) has only made 16 appearances and City are fourth in the Premier League, with Arsenal second . Sagna departed Arsenal on the back of winning the FA Cup but faces a year without a trophy at City . But the 32-year-old Sagna says if he was faced with the decision again, he would make the same choice. 'I see a lot of comments from fans saying I should have stayed at Arsenal but if I had to do it again, if I had to come back and sign for City, I would have done it again,' Sagna told the Manchester Evening News. 'I'm happy because I came to the champions.' Sagna departed the Emirates on the back of an FA Cup triumph but arrived at City with the club having won the Premier League. A year later, Arsenal are gearing up to defend their trophy against Aston Villa in the final at Wembley but City's Premier League title will almost certainly be claimed by Chelsea. Sagna is philosophical about how City and Arsenal's seasons have unravelled. 'When I signed I just wanted to come, give the maximum, and give my best for the club then after, it’s life, no?' Sagna said. Sagna (left) said he would make the same decision again if he was faced with a similar choice . Sagna believes Manuel Pellegrini's City side will soon return to winning ways and end the season well . Sanga also brushed aside fears that City could be usurped from the Champions League qualifying places and believes Manuel Pellegrini's side will swiftly return to winning ways. 'Everyone looks forward in the same direction, we want to be successful as a team and the coach and the staff and everyone is part of the team,' Sagna said. 'We are doing out best to get back to a winning team and to finish the season well.'

Bacary Sagna left Arsenal for Manchester City on a free transfer last year . The defender insists he does not regret making the switch to the Etihad . City are behind FA Cup finalists Arsenal and face a season without a prize .

It is perhaps the most iconic ship of all time, but the closest most people will get to the Titanic is a visit to the museum in Belfast, or a viewing of the Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet blockbuster. Not so for those with endless funds. One company is offering the chance to dive 12,500ft below the surface of the sea to explore the ship at the bottom of the Atlantic. The tour takes in sights like the famous grand staircase, the ship's huge anchors and the Marconi Room, from which the world's very first SOS was broadcast. The once-in-a-lifetime privilege is being offered by luxury concierge service, Bluefish, and does not come cheap, setting you back a whopping £41,000 ($60,000). Unique experience: Travel to the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to the wreck of the Titanic with concierge service Bluefish . Haunting: Beams of light illuminate the features of the tragic ship, which sank on April 14, 1912 . A port side forward expansion joint on the boat deck of the bow section of the shipwreck. Travellers will learn about the ship in a series of lectures in addition to the dive . The hefty price may seem like a lot but more than 40 people have so far booked the trip to the Atlantic Ocean depths. Director of Bluefish, Steve Sims said: 'We have sent over 40 people down and they have been housewives to technology billionaires, the Titanic really does capture the minds of a wide crowd. 'Bluefish is known for providing the amazing and rare and the Titanic fits both those criteria. 'More people have been into space than set eyes on the Titanic.' Guests will stay aboard the Akademik Keldysh ship at sea and wait for suitable conditions to see the Titanic up close. The transport to the ocean floor is a MIR I or II submersible which are capable of reaching ocean depths of 20,000 ft (98 per cent of the ocean floor worldwide) and withstanding intense pressure. The submersible is constructed of nickel steel and can hold one pilot and two passengers, providing a personal encounter of the vessel. The unique dive takes 11 or 12 hours in total and once you reach the ocean floor powerful lights let you see the main features of ship. As well as this divers can spot harrowing personal items such as shoes or bags caught between the metal rust, which serve as a poignant reminder of the tragic human loss. The starboard railing near the bow of the Titanic. Expeditions take place in a MIR I or II submersible, which is able to withstand the water pressure 12500ft below the surface . The wreck of the Titanic is situated around 676 kilometres from Newfoundland, almost four kilometres below the surface . Not only does the trip offer a truly unique ocean expedition, but it also offers the chance to learn about the majestic vessel in depth. You will take part in a series of lectures and briefings, revealing latest findings about the 269 metre-long liner. There will also be a ceremony commemorating the tragic events and remembering all those who lost their lives on April 14, 1912. Meals, accommodation and personal video are also included in the somewhat hefty price tag. The RV Keldysh and MIRs have made over 15 expeditions to the site of the wreck and have made over a hundred dives. The unique dive takes 11 or 12 hours in total and once you reach the ocean floor powerful lights let you see the main features of ship . Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! More people have been to space than have explored the Titanic, and the dives aim to collect data for scientific experiments . The aim of the dives is not just tourism, but also obtaining imagery from the site, data and physical samples from the wreck to further research and be used in ongoing scientific experiments being conducted by worldwide scientists . Since Deep Ocean Expeditions began dives to the wreck in 1998 no artefacts have been removed from the site . However it hasn't been plain sailing for Bluefish trips to see the famous ship. Only eight people took the voyage between 2002 and 2006 and after the recession put a strain on luxury spending. 'The recession hit and everything went to pot,' Simms told CNN Money. After years of fruitless searching by many organisations the wreck of the RMS Titanic was found by Dr Robert Ballard in 1986. Since that time multiple dives have been conducted by some of the world’s five deep diving submersibles, representing France, USA and Russia . Now the service has picked back up and guests can experience the whole package, or opt to have everything apart from the dive to the wreck, for £6,820 ($10,000). The bespoke concierge service offers a range of elaborate services, besides the Titanic expedition. Whether it is racing half a million dollars Mercedes in the Mojave Desert, a Virgin Galactic flight into space, or having a James Bond experience in Monaco with Bond girls and being rescued by American Navy Seals, Simms sees no challenge as impossible for the right clients. The luxury does not come cheap, with membership to the club being £3,414 ($5,000) per annum before you have forked out for any experience. Star-crossed lovers! Many were captivated by the James Cameron film, released in 1997, which saw the affluent Rose (played by Kate Winslet) fall in love with poor Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) on the Titanic's fateful voyage .

Concierge service Bluefish are offering dives to journey to the magnificent ship on the Atlantic floor . The unique experience will let you see the famous grand staircase along with many other rooms and areas . The dives form part of valuable research, with data being relayed to scientists worldwide .
