By John Drayton Lionel Messi took matters into his own hands and delivered Argentina's team talk following a goalless 90 minutes against Holland. Manager Alejandro Sabella began the chat but Messi soon took over as his team-mates listened intently. And although his side couldn’t muster a win in extra time, they edged out Holland 4-2 on penalties to reach Sunday’s final in Rio de Janeiro. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Mascherano hailed the hero as Buenos Aires celebrates Follow the leader: Lionel Messi (centre) led Argentina's team talk before extra time Stepping up to the plate: Javier Mascherano led the team talk at half-time during extra time Elation: Messi is overjoyed after Argentina's shoot-out win over Holland in the World Cup semi-final Leading the celebrations: Messi (left) runs along with his team-mates to celebrate their win As cool as you like: Messi slots home his penalty during the shoot-out as Argentina win Leading from the front: Messi (second left) takes on water before extra time begins Rest: Messi sits on water cooler box as he waits for extra time to begin in Sao Paulo Captain's duty: Lionel Messi led the Argentina team talk between normal time and extra time Treble-team: Messi is surrounded by three Holland players during the World Cup semi-final Powers that be: Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella (left) and Messi exchange words during the match Aggressive: Messi was tracked throughout the match by Holland's determined midfielders Competing: Messi (left) and Sneijder (right) challenge for the ball during the semi-final VIDEO All Star XI: Lionel Messi - highlights Having scored four goals in the tournament before the semi-final clash in Sao Paulo, Messi had a quiet game against the Dutch. With the score line still blank after 105 minutes, the captain seemed subdued as the Barcelona forward left the next team talk in the hands of Sabella. Indeed, it was his Barcelona team-mate Javier Mascherano who was the most animated player, appearing to put his hand up in his manager’s face. He again stepped up to speak to his fellow players before penalties. Holland and Aston Villa defender Ron Vlaar had kept the dangerous Argentina front line quiet as both teams battled for a place in the final against Germany. Messi was perhaps missing the creative influence of Angel di Maria who missed the game through injury.

Messi led the Argentina team talk between full-time and extra-time. Javier Mascherano took over for half-time of extra-time. He also led the team talk before the side stepped up for penalties. Argentina won 4-2 on penalties and will play Germany in Sunday's final. It will be the third time that Germany and Argentina face each other in a World Cup final.

They say lightning doesn't strike twice but among some gullible Chelsea fans that phrase doesn't appear to apply. A year ago talkSPORT, managed to dupe some Blues supporters into believing that their club was linked with various players during the January transfer window - only for those names to be made up.And 12 months on, the radio station has been at it again outside Stamford Bridge - with the theme being of Star Wars characters this time around dubbed as 'Transfer Wars'. VIDEO Scroll down to see Chelsea fans fooled in Star Wars transfer target prank Chelsea fans were duped into believing that players based on Star Wars characters were transfer targets TalkSPORT dubbed the video 'Transfer Wars' in relation to the sci-fi franchise theme Keen to prove their unrelenting passion for the club though, fans claim to have seen 'trio' JJ Binks (Jar Jar Binks), Artur Detur (R2-D2) and Stew Bacca (Chewbacca) - with all three reported welcome additions to Jose Mourinho's squad. Binks, a centre back or a left winger from the MLS, is described by one fan as the 'new John Terry,' while another says he will be a good signing on the flanks. Bacca is mentioned to play in the similar mould of his older 'brother' Carlos - the Sevilla and Colombia international striker. Unlike his 28-year-old 'sibling' though, Bacca's main 'attributes' are his ability to play as a target man. The 6ft 5in forward would be a welcome addition according to the Blues faithful and is seen as an ideal replacement for club legend Didier Drogba. 'Stew Bacca' was seen by fans as an ideal replacement for club legend Didier Drogba 'Artur Detur' like JJ Binks is another young prospect who can play both as a centre back or as a left winger Detur, like Binks, has the rare tactical flexibility to play in the heart of defence and or on the left flank - a trait that Chelsea supporters clearly feel would be a bonus commodity. The France star's potential arrival is one relished by the west London faithful, although one fan believes he needs another season before he can make a real impact at the club. Although the force is not with all Chelsea supporters, two were switched on to the prank. Upon hearing of Binks a male duo state that they have 'never heard of him,' before querying that the MLS prospect 'sounds like something out of Star Wars.' The duo's suspicions are confirmed upon hearing Detur's name but alas if only their fellow supporters were as clued up. The prank didn't fool these two Chelsea fans (centre and right) though who were wise to the made-up names Luckily for them though there's no pulling the wool the eyes over Mourinho's side at present it seems, as the Blues continue to fight on all four fronts for silverware this season. Saturday's 2-0 win at home to Newcastle saw the Blues move two points clear of title rivals Manchester City at the top of the Premier League. Chelsea travel to Swansea next on Saturday evening looking for their 16th win in 22 league games. Oscar (centre) scored Chelsea's opener as they beat Newcastle 2-0 in the Premier League on Saturday .
Jar Jar Binks, Chewbacca and R2-D2 are all Star Wars characters. Trio were called JJ Binks, Stew Bacca and Artur Detur in talkSPORT prank. Chelsea beat Newcastle 2-0 at home in the Premier League on Saturday. Blues travel to Swansea City in their next league fixture on January 17.

By Helen Lawson PUBLISHED: 13:37 EST, 15 February 2013 | UPDATED: 13:21 EST, 16 February 2013 A trainee lawyer who accused a City law firm of sex discrimination was subjected to a 'full frontal attack' on her abilities by a corporate partner, a tribunal heard today. The same corporate partner was also said to have criticised Katie Tantum, 33, for leaving early when she went home at 6.30am after working all night in the office on a major project. Miss Tantum was a trainee on £42,000 a year at Travers Smith when she told them she was expecting a baby. But she claims the firm 'just stopped bothering' with her when they discovered she was pregnant. Katie Tantum is suing law firm Travers Smith for loss of earnings after claiming she was not offered another contract when she told bosses she was pregnant Miss Tantum claims the company failed to offer her a permanent contract because they did not want to pay maternity leave, despite a glowing review from the firm's head of real estate. Now she is suing for loss of earnings. Helen Croke, a partner in the corporate department, told other bosses during a review of Miss Tantum’s progress that the Cambridge graduate 'lacked drive and enthusiasm' and made mistakes on important documents. She said: 'I saw certain things in Katie that made me talk to Caroline Murphy (her first supervisor). I was very involved in why Katie was not given a job in corporate. 'It was a not a good review. Clearly corporate wasn’t a good seat for her.' When comparing Miss Tantum's review with that of another trainee, Ms Croke said it was like 'comparing apples and oranges.' She said Miss Tantum made mistakes on an important corporate transaction when the team had to work through the night. She added: 'Katie would have been working on very particular types of documents, processing documents and transferring shares. 'Those were the documents I particularly noticed, and other transactions, were coming back and being marked as incorrect. 'I was aware of mistakes. The impression I received from both Caroline and another employee was that Katie’s work on transactions were poor. 'When you’re in a situation where work is frustrating assistants because it was incorrect, that is not the time I can take on a review of a trainee. 'I can’t believe she didn’t know she was making mistakes.' Miss Tantum's lawyer accused Ms Croke of launching a 'full frontal attack' on Miss Tantum in her witness statement after she said the plaintiff 'gave the impression she didn’t want to do what she was doing'. The tribunal also heard that Ms Croke was 'very critical' of Miss Tantum after she worked through the night on the transaction, but left at around 6.30am because she did not feel well. David Massarella, representing Miss Tantum, said: 'You made a comment on her leaving work in the middle of the night. 'She knows she left at 6.30am. She knows that because she went to Pret, which does not open until then.' Ms Croke denies criticising Miss Tantum's behaviour that night. In March last year, Miss Tantum, from Kew, west London, said she discovered she was pregnant and told her bosses. In her witness statement she said: 'I told my supervisor, Mahesh Varia, who seemed supportive and thanked me for telling him. Miss Tantum said she was criticised for leaving early when she went home at 6.30am after working all night 'But Mr Mahesh just stopped bothering with me. I was not given anywhere near the same amount of work, which I found frustrating.' Miss Tantum, who is fluent in French and German, said once she became visibly pregnant she felt the need to tell people she was not planning to take her full maternity leave and was ‘absolutely committed to returning to the firm’. However, in May she learned that she was not to be offered a permanent contract with the firm. She said senior partner Andrew King told her that ‘no one put their hand up’ for her. She said: 'I was one of only three trainees out of 22 not retained permanently or given a minimum one-year contract.' The firm's head of real estate told the hearing he was 'delighted' to find out Miss Tantum was pregnant. Julian Bass said: 'Having shared a room with Katie for six months, we got on very well. When she told me she was pregnant I wasn’t surprised because of her age and so on. 'I was genuinely delighted.' But despite a glowing review from Mr Bass, Miss Tantum was not offered a place in the real estate department, even though there were two spaces for trainees. He said: 'She was a strong contender in the real estate department. She demonstrated the sort of skills which could make her a good real estate lawyer.' The tribunal also heard how the pregnancy was not even mentioned by 'mute' partners when discussing Miss Tantum’s future at the firm. Ms Croke said: 'I don’t believe there is pregnancy discrimination at Travers Smith.' The hearing continues.
Katie Tantum claims she was criticised for leaving early after working through the night at law firm Travers Smith. Firm partner Helen Croke said Miss Tantum lacked drive and enthusiasm.

Germany captain Philipp Lahm claims his team can live with the pressure of the demands to become world champions for a fourth time. Despite Germany’s enormous potential, they have not won the World Cup since Lothar Matthaus led the team to glory in Italia 90.

Lahm, who will win his 110th cap for his country, said: ‘Germany is a three-time World Cup winner and not many teams say that. ‘We have great potential, but we have to go one more round. Our target is to be successful. 'We have to play aggressively, as we did against the USA. We think we are the better team, but we have to prove it. ‘Matthaus was a fantastic player and great personality and done a lot for German football. He was the absolute leader in 1990 and led the team to the title in 1990. ‘We have to defend aggressively and show how classy we are. Ghana was more about heart but not so much about class. ‘The best thing for us is to have control for 90 minutes and then we have more self-esteem.’ Low, whose team could face France or Nigeria in the quarter-final, said: ‘This game is not in our heads. Focussed: Germany manager Low says they aren't looking as far the quarter-finals yet Good point: Low says his team are 'focused and relaxed' ahead of their World Cup showdown ‘If you under-estimate the opponent it is wrong.

We are focused and relaxed. ‘We have the self-esteem to tackle the match and then we have the resources to win the match.’ Germany manager Joachim Low also believes that south American teams are making life difficult at the tournament by defending their territory. The Germany coach added: ‘They are strong, they are at home on this continent and you can feel that. We have been able to cope with the conditions. ‘They will do whatever it takes to satisfy their fans and their countries.’ Plan: Low says that south American teams are making life difficult at the World Cup on their territory .

By Simon Walters PUBLISHED: 18:35 EST, 11 January 2014 | UPDATED: 19:02 EST, 11 January 2014 Privacy and civil liberties campaigner: Former Shadow Home Secretary David Davis The extent to which mobile phones act as ‘spies in our pockets’ has been exposed by a senior Tory MP. Former Shadow Home Secretary David Davis discovered how closely we can be watched when he asked his phone provider for the information it held on him – and found it could track his every move. Mr Davis investigated after American whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed that the security services were forcing phone companies to hand over data on their customers. The campaigning MP, who writes about his discoveries in today’s Mail on Sunday, says the list of times and co-ordinates – known as metadata – showed ‘where I had been at any one time for a year’. It was so detailed that Mr Davis was able to plot out his movements over a day. The one he chose was during last year’s party conference in Manchester, and the data mapped his meetings with members of the public, journalists and parliamentary colleagues. ‘I could see exactly where I had been at pretty much every point of the day,’ writes Mr Davis. ‘So in conjunction with those people’s phone records, the data would show everybody I met that day.’ Mr Davis has been an opponent of efforts by Home Secretary Theresa May to introduce a ‘snooper’s charter’ extending the State’s power to monitor communications. Sinister: Mr Davis found that metadata collected by phone firms tracked his exact location and movements He added: ‘The State rarely asks for information which isn’t of use to it. With this metadata they can learn as much about me as they can by reading my emails or eavesdropping on my calls. ‘Since the Snowden revelations, we know that our security services have engaged in legally dubious monitoring of our metadata. ‘We know that they, along with many Ministers, want the legal power to do this on an even bigger scale. ‘This has serious implications for our privacy.’
David Davis investigated the true nature of mobile phone 'metadata' He found it allowed the precise tracking of his location at any time. 'This has serious implications for our privacy,' warns top Tory.

By Oliver Todd Follow @@oliver_todd The Bundesliga is just edging out the Premier League as the best in the world - according to the number of players left from each league in the World Cup. England's top division had been storming ahead in these stakes but Germany's progression to the semi finals has helped put the Bundesliga on top heading into the last four. Italy's Serie A trails behind with 14 representatives while Holland's win over Costa Rica has helped boost the Eredivisie numbers to 10. Scroll down to see Premier League players flop in Brazil Key: There might be less Premier League players left but the likes of Tim Krul have been key Vital: Chelsea's Oscar will be Brazil's main man in their attacking play following Neymar's injury Clash: Mesut Ozil helped push fellow Premier League man Mathieu Debuchy out of the World Cup Two steps from glory: Manchester City's Zabaleta has been ever-present for Argentina Bayern Munich are still the top club around - with a total of nine men helped by their six starters in the German side, but the likes of Chelsea and Manchester City are not far behind. Most surprisingly, Dutch runners up Feyenoord are the second-best represented with five players - all in Louis van Gaal's Oranje squad Only 20 sides now have two or more players left in the World Cup, and the Premier League boasts four of those: Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Swansea. But while there might be more German-owned players left - those from English clubs still have some of the biggest roles to play. Tim Krul came off the bench to inspire Holland's penalty shootout win against Costa Rica - and Oscar and Willian will be the key men in Brazil's attack with Neymar ruled out. In terms of the most successful final for the English sides, a Brazil v Holland showpiece in the Maracana could see as many as 12 Premier League players on show - if the Dutch fielded both Krul and Swansea's Michel Vorm.

German sides edge out the English, providing one more semi finalist. Premier League's total suffered with Belgium's exit from the competition. Bayern Munich still have more players left than anyone else. Chelsea (four), Manchester City (four), Arsenal (three) and Swansea (two) are the only Premier League clubs with more than one player left in Brazil.

By Matt Barlow Follow @@Matt_Barlow_DM No Neymar means no trophy and no trophy means no escaping the nightmare which has haunted Brazil for 64 years — ever since the last time they failed to win the World Cup on home soil. That appeared to be the consensus as celebrations that followed a 2-1 win against Colombia in a pulsating quarter-final were tinged with sadness. Neymar’s injury had swiftly been confirmed as a broken vertebra, an X-ray was broadcast on television to prove the point and president Dilma Rousseff took to social media to offer her best wishes for a speedy recovery. VIDEO: Scroll down to watch videos of Neymar after his World Cup ending injury Emotional: David Luiz hugs Neymar as he waits to board an ambulance after Friday's win over Colombia Cynical: With the ball nowhere near Juan Zuniga smashes his knee into the lower part of Neymar's back Agony: Neymar clutches his back after going down injured during Brazil's win over Colombia on Friday Carried away: Neymar was stretchered off the pitch and taken to hospital after Brazil's quarter-final win ‘Forca Neymar,’ she tweeted, as did others such as model Gisele Bundchen, Miami Heat basketball star LeBron James and German footballers including Mesut Ozil and Lukas Podolski, who must have been secretly delighted to learn Brazil’s best player cannot face them in Tuesday’s semi-final. Hundreds of bright yellow replica No 10 shirts on market stalls and hawked by street sellers seemed to sag in disappointment, crested hairstyles drooped around Brazil and bookmakers, for the first time, decided the hosts could no longer be considered favourites to win. Neymar will not play again in this tournament. The initial diagnosis predicted an absence of about six weeks from football and, while parallels can be drawn with Pele — the original No 10 who also hailed from the Santos club and was fouled out of a World Cup, ending Brazilian hopes in 1966 — others tried to lift the gloom. Leading the campaign was David Luiz, climbing the popularity polls with a statesmanlike air. Get well soon: Thiago Silva hugs Neymar as the Brazil team wish their star man well after his injury Precaution: Neymar is wheeled into hospital and appears to be on a drip as doctors attend to the injured star Not only is he scoring precious goals, like the brilliant free-kick against Colombia, but the centre-half has a canny knack for connecting with the masses. ‘To play in a semi-final of the World Cup is a dream,’ said Luiz. ‘When I was young, I dreamed of days like this but I am sad because Neymar is out of the competition. 'He is like my brother. He is a great guy, a great person and a great player who brings the good things to football: happiness and magic. ‘Brazil will suffer a lot from this loss but Neymar will help us with his happiness. We have made a pact to support him. He will grow taller from this moment. It would be great if we could win it and celebrate with him.’ Moving: Neymar was flown to Sao Paulo by helicopter to begin his recovery Devastated: Neymar is transported from an ambulance to a military helicopter to be airlifted home Thanks: Neymar managed a wave as he left for Sao Paulo Inside the squad, Neymar is so much more than an icon of youth culture. You can see that the warmth and affection colleagues reserve for him is genuine when you watch them training, where he laughs if one of his tricks fails and he is teased like anyone else. True, he is their most gifted creative force, capable of lifting Brazil out of the ordinary, but he also grafts and offers more humility than you might expect for a diamond-studded 22-year-old whose image appears at every turn and who is adored by millions. ‘Neymar is a boy who fights a lot,’ said Luiz. ‘He dreamed about playing in a World Cup and now he is out because of a foul the defender probably should have avoided.’ Colombia’s Juan Zuniga is Brazil’s new public enemy, the man who rammed his knee into the base of Neymar’s spine as they contested the ball near the end of the quarter-final. Support: Brazilian model Gisele Budnchen said she was praying for a fast recovery for her compatriot Team spirit: Leo Messi also took to social media to wish his Barcelona teammate a speedy recovery Manager Luiz Felipe Scolari claimed his star man had been ‘hunted’ by opponents after his terrific start to the tournament. Neymar suffered a knee injury against Chile when he was cut down in full flight. The Brazil manager, however, swerved the fact that his own side had employed strong-arm tactics on Friday in a bid to silence James Rodriguez, of Colombia. Luiz added: ‘I never crucify players. You do things when you are emotional and don’t think. 'I will just say if he did it with bad intentions because he wanted to injure him, then I think he will feel sad. If he just tried to stop the game that’s natural, that’s football.’ Brazil captain Thiago Silva offered support for Zuniga. ‘I know him from Serie A and he does not have any nastiness in him,’ said PSG defender Silva, who was formerly at AC Milan. ‘What he did was rash but I know it can be difficult to get the ball from Neymar.’ The challenge is to prove there is life after Neymar for a team that have come to rely rather too heavily on his invention and goal threat. Without him, they will fret about how much they can create from open play. National icon: The Barcelona forward is by far the most popular player in Luiz Felipe Scolari's squad Against Chile and Colombia, the goals came from centre-halves Luiz, who scored twice, and Silva, all from set-pieces. Who wins most of these free-kicks and corners? Neymar, by dribbling at defenders. In his absence, there will be a greater onus on others. Oscar is expected to return to a central role, which he will relish, and his Chelsea team-mate Willian is among the candidates to come in against Germany in Belo Horizonte. Almost as bad for Scolari is the loss of Silva. The captain is suspended after picking up a yellow card for interfering with a kick by Colombia goalkeeper David Ospina. Broken: The x-ray showing Neymar's injured back, highlighting the broken bone Silva was magnificent in the quarter-final on Friday. He is the team’s strongest and most reliable defender, providing the stability which allows Luiz to step forward and contribute on the counter-attack. The loss will be eased by the return of defensive midfielder Luiz Gustavo after a one-match ban but will still be keenly felt. ‘This is the moment to show the strength of the squad,’ said Silva. ‘This moment could mark the start of a revolution for us. 'We have proposed to win the World Cup for Neymar. This could unite us. It could give us more determination to win.’
Neymar out of the tournament after injury late in the quarter-final. Brazil players rally round their star forward. David Luiz pledges to 'win and celebrate with him' Captain Thiago Silva says It could give us more determination to win.’

By Bianca London PUBLISHED: 13:07 EST, 5 December 2013 | UPDATED: 04:26 EST, 6 December 2013 When it comes to wrinkle-busting skincare and a holistic approach to looking and feeling younger, Dr Nicholas Perricone is the go-to guy for a host of Park Avenue princesses and Hollywood's leading ladies. He first hit the headlines in the early nineties with his books The Wrinkle Cure and The Perricone Prescription, which claimed that a diet rich in salmon and berries could help you look younger in just three days. And now, the man himself has teamed up with Ocado to bring his service to your front door. Coming to a door near you: Ocado have teamed up with Dr Perricone to offer his three-day diet to shoppers Ocado are introducing a Perricone food basket on their website, which means with just a few clicks all the ingredients can be added to your list and delivered together in your chosen time slot. This anti-inflammatory diet, which is rich in lean proteins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids, is said to be followed by celebrities such as Eva Mendes, Cate Blanchett, Kim Cattrall and Julia Roberts. Dr Perricone believes that wrinkles, lines, puffiness and sagging are a symptom of ‘inflammation’ at cellular level, caused by poor diet, overexposure to sun, air pollution, and other modern-day skin irritants. His plan counteracts premature ageing by directly reducing cell level inflammation through a special diet high in omega oils and other nutritional wonder-foods, as opposed to Botox and surgery. Foods in his diet include salmon, tuna, turkey, olive oil, nuts, fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. One of the key ingredients in the food basket, which starts from £80, is salmon, which contains essential fatty acids that help to dramatically reduce puffiness, increase radiance and add firmness to the skin. Dr Perricone is so convinced by the power of salmon, he recommends you eat it twice a day, but you may substitute it for poultry or tofu if necessary. Youth is one click away: Ocado is introducing a Perricone food basket, which means with just a few clicks all the ingredients can be added to your basket and delivered together in your chosen time slot Famous fans: Youthful Eva Mendes and Cate Blanchett are said to be big fans of Dr Perricone's diet But does it work? Lorna Driver-Davies, NutriCentre Nutritional Therapist, said: 'My initial concern with this diet is the amount of salmon Dr Perricone suggests is consumed to achieve results. 'NHS advice says males and women past child-bearing age (or those who will not conceive) may consume up to four portions of oily fish per week. Women of child-bearing age should only consume up to two portions of oily fish per week. 'This is because of the levels of pollutants found in oily fish, especially the heavy metal mercury which is toxic. As a nutritionist I would therefore not recommend someone eat this much salmon for any kind of diet. 'If they wanted to achieve the same effect, they are better off eating two portions per week and then taking a high quality fish oil supplement which is certified as being clean from heavy metals and other contaminants. 'The rest of the diet is actually really good - particularly almonds, berries and plant oils such as olive oil - think how good Mediterranean skin often looks.' Brains behind the business: Dr Perricone (L) takes a 'no knife' approach to anti-ageing and believes the key lies in healthy foods rich in fatty acids.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to stop Texas from implementing a part of a new abortion law that requires doctors to get admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the clinic where they're providing abortion services. A federal appeals court had reinstated the key part of the law, which is considered among the most restrictive in the country. Abortion-rights groups, which say more than a third of centers that had provided abortions in Texas have since stopped, then asked the Supreme Court to overturn the appeals court ruling. "We may not vacate a stay entered by a court of appeals unless that court clearly and 'demonstrably' erred in its application of 'accepted standards,'" Justice Antonin Scalia wrote in support of Tuesday's order. "Reasonable minds can perhaps disagree about whether the Court of Appeals should have granted a stay in this case. But there is no doubt that the applicants have not carried their heavy burden of showing that doing so was a clear violation of accepted legal standards -- which do not include a special 'status quo' standard for laws affecting abortion," he wrote. Four justices -- Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan -- dissented. Justices dismiss state law restricting medical abortions The original lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Austin by Planned Parenthood on behalf of more than a dozen women's health care providers across Texas, alleged the state's new abortion law violates the constitutional rights of women and puts unreasonable demands on doctors who perform abortions. The bill originally failed to gain approval because of a Democratic filibuster led by state Sen. Wendy Davis. Gov. Rick Perry then called the Legislature into a second special session to continue consideration of the bill. Davis, who is running for governor, blasted Tuesday's decision. "Clinics will close and women's health will be hurt because of this law. This is an abuse of power by politicians in Austin. I trust women to make their own decisions and will continue to work to make sure that women and mothers are safe and have access to adequate health care," she said in a statement.

Police have narrowed their search for the man suspected of fatally pushing a 20-year-old college student under a New York City subway train after new surveillance footage of the alleged attacker was released today. LaGuardia Community College student Joshua Basin died on Friday night after an oncoming train pinned him between the tracks and the platform at the Bedford Avenue stop in Brooklyn. Authorities released CCTV footage on Monday of an L train passenger believed to have fled the scene after allegedly starting the fight with Basin that led to the deadly altercation. Scroll down for video Suspect: Authorities released CCTV footage on Monday of an L train passenger who fled the scene after allegedly starting a deadly altercation Profile: Video footage shows a slim-built white male believed to be in his 30s Narrowing the search: The suspect was wearing brown pants, a black zip-up jacket and sneakers around the time of the attack, police say As the New York Daily News reports, video footage shows a slim-built white male believed to be in his 30s. He is wearing brown pants, a black zip-up jacket and sneakers. Police told the newspaper he has dark blond hair and pock marks on the right side of his face. Joshua Basin, 20, died Friday night after an oncoming train pinned him between the tracks and the platform at the Bedford Avenue stop in Brooklyn. The Howard Beach, Queens resident got into a verbal argument with another man while riding the Manhattan-bound L train, police said. He and the man, thought to be white and in his early 30s, exited the train at the trendy Bedford Ave stop. The man, wearing a black fleece, reportedly said, ‘It’s showtime.’ Manhunt: The NYPD released a sketch of the man who allegedly pushed college student Joshua Basin, right, on the subway tracks Late night fight: 20-year-old Joshua Basin died after he was struck by an oncoming L train at Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn That’s when things got physical, witnesses said. During the fight, both men fell onto the tracks as hundreds of horrified witnesses looked on. Though the attacker - who is believed to have been drunk - managed to escape before the train came into the station, Mr Basin was not so lucky, and was hit by an oncoming train. ‘When I looked, he was trying to pull himself out, but there wasn’t enough time,’ one witness told the New York Post. Another witness told CBS New York: ‘There was a woman kneeling beside (Basin), and she was doing the best she could. Investigating: Police quickly blocked off the scene and have since arrested the man that was picking a fight with Mr Basin, believed to be a white male Nightmare: Hundreds of witnesses waiting on the platform watched in horror as the two fell onto the tracks and Basin was crushed He was taken to Bellvue Hospital with series injuries, and later died. His mother, Zena Basin, described her son as ‘happy-go-lucky,’ – the opposite of a fighter. 'The conductor told us all to back up away from the windows. She kept shouting, "Get back! You don’t want to see this!"' - Sean R Nyffeler, train passenger ‘If you met him once, you will never forget him,’ she told CBS New York. She told the New York Daily News that she’s seeking justice for her son. ‘Whoever did this to my son needs to turn himself in. I need to find out why he did this to my son.’ Police are still investigating the incident; no arrests have yet been made. One Brooklyn resident, Sean R. Nyffeler, who was riding on the train wrote of the horrific experience on his blog. Demanding answers: Joshua's mother Zena Basin told reporters that she has no idea why someone would do this to her son Get back: The train conductor told riders 'You don't want to see this!' as they ushered riders out of the car He said he was sitting in the front car – the one that pinned Mr Basin – and felt ‘two or three dull thuds that jostled the entire car.’ Mr Nyffeler wrote: ‘The conductor... told us all to back up away from the windows. She kept shouting, “Get back! You don’t want to see this!”’ Though he didn’t mean to look at the gruesome scene, he said he looked before police ushered him out of the station. ‘He was stuck...between the car and the platform from his waist down, facing the train,’ Mr Nyffeler wrote. 'He was moving his arms so I knew he wasn’t dead yet, but as I stumbled up the stairs and onto Bedfore Ave. I also knew there was no coming back from that.' Brooklyn bound: The Bedford Avenue stop is in Williamsburg, a trendy Brooklyn neighbourhood that was known for its Orthodox Jewish community The New York subway has been a backdrop to several gruesome deaths this year. Only two months ago, an unidentified man’s severed head was found wedged between the train and the platform as the L train pulled up to the 14th Street and Sixth Avenue station. The same day, 22-year-old Brian O’Mara was struck and killed while wandering in the tunnel between the First and Third avenue stops. It was unclear why Mr O’Mara, who worked at a web firm, was on the tracks. The L train runs east from 14th Street and Eighth Avenue in Chelsea, passing through Union Square, East Village, and then entering Brooklyn via Bedford Avenue. It continues out to Canarsie in Brooklyn. Watch video here .

By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 16:46 EST, 8 October 2013 | UPDATED: 17:14 EST, 8 October 2013 It's been dubbed the 'most unfortunate typo ever.' Senior White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer sparked outrage on Twitter today after he accidentally wrote the n-word instead of 'bigger' in a tweet. Pfeiffer was responding to a post from Johnathon Martin early Tuesday morning when he tweeted: '@jmartNYT also a much [n-word] factor on the right.' Oops: Senior White House adviser Dan Pfeiffer, pictured right with the President, has sparked outrage on Twitter after he accidentally wrote 'n*****' instead of 'bigger' in a tweet Pfeiffer apologized soon after, clarifying that the racial slur was obviously 'a horrendous typo' but it was too late, the Twitter universe had already taken aim. Just four minutes after he clicked post, Twitter user Elise Foley tweeted: 'Dan Pfeiffer, check your Twitter' and Miss Laura declared to the Twittersphere the mistake was 'the most unfortunate typo ever.' Cuffe tweeted: 'Umm, what??,' and Alex Parker declared: 'Woah dude might want to delete this tweet fast.' Unfortunately for Pfeiffer, deleting isn't an option, given tweets from the official White House Twitter account are archived. Then users started suggesting auto-correct didn't pick up the mistake because Pfeiffer uses the offensive term regularly. In context: Pfeiffer was responding to a post from Johnathon Martin early Tuesday morning when he tweeted: '@jmartNYT also a much [n-word] factor on the right' Apology: Pfeiffer apologized and clarified his mistake in a follow up tweet, pictured RB tweeted: 'Better explanation: @Pfeiffer44 meant to write "bigger" but because he uses the n-word so much, his phone auto-corrected to the n-word.' Geoff Hamby added: 'So @pfeiffer44 is accidentally tweeting out the "N-word" huh? Funny thing about auto-correct is it only substitutes commonly used words.' Jonathan Martin's original post, which Pfeiffer was trying to answer, read: 'Glad @NBCFirstRead acknowledged a major factor in polarization: how Amers get information, rise of Internet/cable.' Backlash: The typo tweet sparked outrage on Twitter almost immediately Auto-correct: Some suggested auto-correct didn't pick up the mistake because Pfeiffer uses the n-word regularly In response, Pfeiffer wrote: '@jmartNYT @NBCFirstRead it's a very smart point and massive factor in political polarization.' Then he followed up with the headache-inducing post, hitting the 'n' key instead of the 'b.' No doubt Pfeiffer will be proof reading his tweets from now on.

(CNN) -- "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning" hopes to be the next big, addictive role-playing video game, and its creators are putting an emphasis on "big" with a wide-ranging environment and a deep story line. But did they take on more than they were prepared to do? Big Huge Games studio general manager Sean Dunn was working in Los Angeles and content with his lifestyle there when he got a call about working on "Reckoning." After seeing what the project and the people were all about, he decided to head east to Baltimore and join the team there. "This is a passionate and competitive group who want to take on Beth Soft (Bethesda Softworks)," Dunn said. "This team stayed together despite being bought and sold by Microsoft and THQ before being bought by 38 Studios. These people believe in what they are doing." Dunn said the new "Reckoning" game contains more than 10 novels' worth of back story from best-selling fantasy author R.A. Salvatore, 45,000 to 50,000 lines of dialogue, the artistic vision of Todd McFarlane and the gaming vision of Ken Rolston. But his team of 110 people was tasked with bringing all that creative energy to life. Lead combat designer Joe Quadara, who worked on games for Crystal Dynamics and Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA), said he was skeptical at first about whether the Big Huge Games team could make a game as big as it envisioned. "It started hitting its stride about the sixth month, in where it was 'We are making a huge game, and it's going to be great,' " Quadara told CNN. "Once we all convinced ourselves that we were actually doing it, we stopped looking at if we could do things or not and just started building everything." The goal, Quadara said, was to make a fantastic role-playing game (RPG) that had a great action game built inside. He explained there were constant battles internally on balancing those two types of gaming while still presenting a cohesive story. "There's this weird conglomerate of taking the best minds of the RPG group and taking the best minds of the action group and seeing how we could put those together," he said. "The engine itself is a full-on action game, fighting game engine, but it's also a full-on RPG game engine and puts all those hooks into each other." If trying to design hundreds of weapons with different hit effects and back stories for combat was a challenge, trying to express 10,000 years of history in the game seemed nearly overwhelming for art director Tim Coman. He likened it to riding a bike down a hill. "You stop worrying about pedaling and just keep moving," Coman said. "You just take each individual step as it's coming and focus on 'We're going to get this done, going to get this done.' " "There's a depth there that you know walking in, you're going to be building lots and lots of stuff," he added. "Ken Whitman is our lead effects artist, and he's fantastic. He and I would have conversations daily. How do we push this, yet try to find something that is familiar enough to people so they get it?" Coman's artistic team had debates about what was going to be represented, how it would appear visually and whether it was even needed. Eventually, the decisions came down to creating a huge, open world to appeal to gamers' sense of exploration. "R.A. (Salvatore) came up with a line that we've repeated around here: 'If you want people to save the world, you have to give them a world worth saving.' For us, we wanted to put all that in there so that the players that really are RPG fanatics can see this is a real-deal RPG. And [for] the people that are action-game players, it is a real-deal action game." Both Coman and Quadara admit they don't know how deep the rabbit hole goes when talking about the depth of "Reckoning." "Take the blue pill," Coman said while laughing. "Don't even get me started on the quests, because there is so much lore, over 10 novels' worth of writing, just in the game itself," Quadara added. "The dialogue is so huge. Each person has so much that they've contributed to this game that there is no way one person could fit it all in their head." However, they were able to fit it all on one disk. "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning" is available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. It is rated M for Mature because of blood and gore, intense violence and suggestive themes.

A curry house has been fined £3,000 after two dead mice were discovered next to a sack of onions. Health inspectors also found rodent droppings in the kitchen and food stored inside a dirty shed when they visited Khans Tandoori and Balti Takeaway in Portsmouth, Hampshire. The kitchen sink was also dry and had no soap and the staff toilet was in a poor condition, while layers of dirt, grease and debris had built up in the areas where food was handled and stored. Khans Tandoori and Balti Takeaway in Portsmouth, Hampshire, has been fined £3,000 after these dead mice were discovered next to a sack of onions Magistrates ordered the restaurant to pay a £1,800 fine, £1,117 in costs and a £36 victim surcharge, after owner of Harold Southsea Ltd, admitted five charges under hygiene legislation on behalf of the takeaway. Health officer Christopher Larkin from Portsmouth City Council had discovered the dead mice on sticky boards that had been put out to catch the vermin when he visited the restaurant last July. Staff were forced to close the restaurant to make emergency repairs, and it was only allowed to reopen once the kitchen had been cleaned and disinfected, and the food moved out of the lean-to shed. Other improvements were also made. Magistrates ordered the restaurant (pictured) to pay a £1,800 fine, £1,117 in costs and a £36 victim surcharge, after owner of Harold Southsea Ltd, admitted five charges under hygiene legislation on behalf of the takeaway Inspectors found that the kitchen sink was dry and had no soap, while the staff toilet was in a poor condition 'Food hygiene is of prime importance and we cannot allow poor standards and behaviour like this,' said Alan Cufley, head of environmental health at the Portsmouth City Council. 'When problems are found, we try to work with businesses to help them improve, but if necessary we will take appropriate action, including prosecution, to protect the public.' The restaurant admitted failing to maintain the premises in good repair, failing to maintain them in a clean condition, failing to protect food from risk of contamination, failing to protect the kitchen from pest entry, and failing to control pests. These bags of cleaning products were discovered when inspectors visited the takeaway in July last year Mr Khan, who owns the takeaway, said: 'It's been cleaned up. Basically we have done everything that's required. 'We have been trying to improve it for the future. We have never had it this bad before. 'We have taken measures to have a clean kitchen.' Council environment chief Robert New said: 'There's just no excuse for mice to be in kitchens. 'It has been a priority since I took over. It's about protecting the public.' He added there has been a change of strategy at the council, with officers now tackling 'medium to bad' offenders as a priority, rather than looking at each restaurant in turn. Health inspectors also found food being stored inside this dirty shed. The takeaway was forced to close, and could only reopen once the restaurant had been cleaned, and the food removed from the lean-to Mouse droppings were found on the floor of the kitchen, and in a goods store used by staff .

'Vindicated': Stephen Perry has been cleared of seven sexual offences An insurance boss accused of hiring attractive teenage girls to ogle and grope has been cleared of seven sexual offences. Stephen Perry denied sexually assaulting two 17-year-olds when they worked for him at his Rotherham business throughout a trial at Sheffield Crown Court. The 58-year-old widow was today found not guilty of seven sexual offences against the two women but admitted some of his behaviour 'could have been taken in the wrong way'. rothe Speaking after the case, Mr Perry said he felt 'vindicated' by the outcome of the trial. 'I feel I have been vindicated. These allegations were unfounded and I told the police as much. 'I am a friendly man and one of them described me as a fatherly figure which is about right. I encouraged a friendly, relaxed atmosphere at work and they misconstrued things.' The insurance chief added he would not hire teenagers to work at his firm in the future. 'I have made the decision like Lionel Blair once said that I'm not going to work with children any more. 'I now employ two 45-year-old women in the office who work for me.' During the trial it was alleged Mr Perry told recruitment managers to hire 'cracking' young women and that he liked employees 'young and fresh'. Sean Kilbride, who supplied candidates to the business, told jurors Mr Perry had instructed him: ''If they’re cracking, they’ll get the job, you know what I mean,' before adding he liked employees 'young and fresh'. 'He told me he was looking for 16 and 17-year-olds, preferably a girl,' Mr Kilbride said. One of the women alleged he grabbed her from behind while she was bent over in front of a filing cabinet, while the other claimed she felt 'uncomfortably' with the 'touchy, feely' boss. 'He was eyeing me up and down. I felt uncomfortable. I was trying to shrug it off, it was disgusting. He had his tongue out and was staring at me 'He said: "Don’t ever come to work in a skirt and glasses because I will not be held responsible for my actions if we are left alone."' Mr Perry denied the allegations, insisting he had a 'fatherly' relationship with the two women and that there was no sexual motive behind his behaviour towards them. Jurors at Sheffield Crown Court (above) took just 40 minutes to clear the 58-year-old widow of all charges Accused of putting his hands over one of the girl's faces so that she would not see what was on his computer screen, he said: 'I don’t know where that’s come from.' Both were 17 when they worked for Mr Perry in 2012 and 2013. They were sent to the company where they earned £100-a-week as apprentice clerks, but quit after a few months. During their interviews the women claimed Mr Perry quizzed them on whether or not they had boyfriends and 'oohed' at one woman's bottom in the office. On one occasion one of the women claimed he grabbed her from behind and 'rubbed' his crotch against her. This was strong denied by Mr Perry throughout. Jurors took 40 minutes to clear him of all seven charges brought. Speaking after the trial, the widow said: 'In hindsight I probably did say things that could have been taken the wrong way,' adding he 'may have comforted' one of the women in 'a fatherly manner' by patting her bottom. The only other contact was when he put his hands on one of their shoulders while she was working at a computer to poke fun at her height, he said. Mr Perry admitted to observing one of the women had 'big' breasts but did not touch them, and says he may have 'touched' her thigh instead of slapping it as accused. She was hired, he insisted, on the basis of her CV but that he once had to tell her off for coming to work in what he thought was an inappropriate blouse. At the time of the alleged assaults, Mr Perry's wife was dying of cancer, it was heard.

Not since Wimbledon has Andy Murray played 40 minutes of tennis as nerve shredding as this passage that came on a Parisian lunchtime, the conclusion of which saw him squeeze through to the last 16 of the French Open. Resuming at 7-7 against world No 24 Philipp Kohlschreiber he needed to draw on all his Grand Slam experience to eke out a 3-6 6-3 6-3 4-6 12-10 victory that took two days to complete and 247 minutes on the court. Murray fired home a backhand return winner on his second match point when he finally managed to prise open the highly-skilled German who, if anything, had looked the slightly better player on the resumption. Appreciation: Andy Murray thanks the crowd after winning a nerve-shredding five setter at Roland Garros Epic: Murray overcame Kohlschreiber 12-10 in the fifth set of their French Open third round match Going for it: Kohlschreiber pushed Murray all the way in their match, which resumed at 7-7 in the fifth set Great Scot: Murray is a study of concentration as he plays a backhand on Saturday night 'I didn’t sleep much, I kept waking up, I was ready to play at five o’ clock this morning,' said the Wimbledon champion, who will now face the hugely powerful Spanish left-hander Fernando Verdasco on Monday. Murray had begun with an assured service game and Kohlschreiber responded in kind. The first match point of the day came at 9-8 after he took advantage of a net cord to fire a forehand winner down the line. The 27-year-old Scot got into the rally but was forced back and the German saved himself by firing home an overhead smash that must have taken an age to drop out of the sky. Kohlschreiber had generally served more consistently while Murray struggled to find his first delivery again, as he had done the whole match. But when the world No 24 created a break point at 9-9 the Wimbledon champion responded with a vicious swinger that his opponent could do nothing about. Tense: Murray shows his emotion after hitting a blistering backhand to end the match after 247 minutes Achilles heel: Murray struggled with his first serve, landing just 48 per cent Flying high: A pigeon soars into shot as Murray crushes a backhand in Paris Despondent: Germany's Kohlschreiber reacts during his devastating loss at the clay court major No 1 fan: Murray's girlfriend Kim Sears cheers for the Scot on his way to a dramatic victory On the whole it was the German hitting far deeper and more aggressively and Murray’s best play tended to come when he was scrambling deep around the court’s recesses. Murray missed six out of eight first serves at 10-10 but just about managed to hold on. At 11-10 Kohlschreiber, who had been finding lines and corners with impressive regularity while Murray generally landed it shorter in the court, finally cracked. He pushed two groundstrokes wide and then at 15-40 dropped in a short second serve which his opponent pounced upon and drove forcefully into the corner. It was not especially pretty or elegant but he is into the second week, drawing on what separates champions from excellent all round players like the crestfallen German.
Play resumed in the third-round French Open match on Sunday. Match was suspended on Saturday night at 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 7-7. Murray claimed the match on his second match point, 12-10 in the fifth. The epic five-setter ended after 247 minutes of time on court. He now meets Spain's Fernando Verdasco in the fourth round.

By Damien Gayle A Palestinian man was arrested today in connection with the murders of three Israeli teenagers as warplanes hammered 10 targets in Gaza. Soldiers swooped on a home just after midnight in the West Bank city of Hebron, where Israeli forces have concentrated their search for the killers. The arrest came after protests over the apparent revenge killing of a Palestinian teenager spread yesterday from Jerusalem to Arab towns in northern Israel. Scroll down for video An Israeli military vehicle patrols the West bank city of Hebron this morning, around the same time that soldiers arrested a Palestinian man in connection with the murders of three Jewish teenagers killed near the city The man arrested in connection with the murder of the Jewish teenagers was identified by his family as Hossam Dufesh, the Associated Press reports. The Israeli Defence Force would not elaborate on the arrest An American teenager - the cousin of the murdered Palestinian boy - who was beaten and detained by police during the protests in east Jerusalem was today brought before an Israeli court. Overnight, Israeli airstrikes targeted what the Israelis claimed were rocket launchers and a weapons workshop in the Gaza Strip, after 29 rockets and mortars were fired into Israeli territory. Relations between Israel and Palestine have been tense since Eyal Yifrach, 19, and 16-year-olds Gilad Shaar and Naftali Frenkel were abducted on June 12, leading to a massive Israeli military operation in Palestinian areas. They were later found dead in a shallow grave, a discovery quickly followed by the the apparent revenge killing of a Palestinian boy, Mohammed Abu Khdeir, who was snatched from his home in East Jerusalem. His burned body was found in a forest. Palestinian officials said a post-mortem indicated the 16-year old had been burned alive. Israeli police say they are still investigating the killing of Mohammed Abu Khdeir, but Palestinians say Israeli extremists murdered him to avenge the deaths of the three Israelis. The three Israeli seminary students (from L-R) Naftali Fraenkel, 16, who also holds U.S. citizenship, Gil-Ad Shaer, 16, and Eyal Yifrah, 19, whose killings have sparked the current round of violence The man arrested in connection with the murder of the Jewish teenagers was identified by his family as Hossam Dufesh, the Associated Press reports. His arrest came as violence spread from Jerusalem to Arab communities across northern Israel, with with hundreds of people throwing rocks and fire bombs at police who responded with tear gas and stun grenades. Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said police had arrested 22 Israeli Arabs. Unlike Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, Israeli Arabs hold citizenship rights, but still face discrimination from the 'Jewish State'. Even so, violent riots like those that occurred yesterday are rare. Clashes had mostly subsided by early this morning, but the situation remained tense. U.S. citizen Tariq Abu Khdeir, left, 15, was beaten by police when he was arrested on Thursday after a protest over the murder of his cousin, Mohammed Abu Khdeir, 16, right, became a violent clash with Israeli police Police today asked a Jerusalem court to extend the detention of 15-year-old U.S. citizen Tariq Abu Khdeir, who was badly beaten by police during the clashes. He is the cousin of murdered Palestinian teenager Mohammed Abu Khdeir. His parents say their son, who goes to school in Florida, was the last person with Mohammed shortly before he was snatched. They said Tariq left Mohammed to eat before the Ramadan fast began at dawn Wednesday, and Mohammed was seized shortly afterward. The feared Israeli border police charge at Israeli Arab protesters during clashes in Ar'Ara, northern Israel Police said Tariq Abu Khdeir resisted arrest, attacked officers, and was captured with a slingshot for lobbing stones. Abu Khdeir's face was masked in a keffiyeh, an Arab headscarf that some Palestinian protesters wore during the clashes to conceal their identity, police added. He was detained along with six other protesters, police said, including some armed with knives, adding that several officers were hurt in that specific protest, one of many that day. Amateur video of what Tariq's father Salah said was the beating aired on a local television station, and he said he could recognize his son from his clothing. Pictures of the boy taken after his arrest showed his face badly swollen. The U.S. State Department said it was 'profoundly troubled' by reports of his beating and demanded an investigation. Israel's Justice Ministry quickly launched a formal investigation.

The body of a man, who is believed to have been murdered up to two weeks ago, has been found in large esky by police. Homicide detectives made the discovery at a house in Edmonton in far north Queensland on Wednesday. Local 32-year-old man, David Hickson, was arrested and charged with murder and interfering with a corpse at the Cairns Magistrates Court on Thursday. Scroll down for video David Hickson, 32, was charged with murder and interfering with a corpse at the Cairns Magistrates Court (pictured) on Thursday after police found a man's body in an esky Hickson is believed to have known and regularly associated with the victim, who is yet to be publicly identified by police, according to the ABC. It's believed the victim had recently moved to Cairns. Cairns Regional Crime Coordinator Detective Inspector Bruno Asnicar says information received about seven days ago led detectives to believe the dead man may have been missing and had possibly met with foul play. 'It's important to remember that he wasn't reported missing,' he told reporters in Cairns on Thursday. Homicide detectives made the discovery at a house in Edmonton in far north Queensland 'This has come to the attention of the Cairns detectives and something we've followed up because we believe there was some suspicious circumstances.' He wouldn't divulge the information police had, but said the two men knew each other. Det Insp Asnicar says police were investigating the possibility the dead man's body was moved. He urged anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious, such as an 'unusual' looking vehicle or 'sounds of violence,' in the Edmonton area over the past two to seven days to come forward. Hickson is due to reappear in court on December 17. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

The Ospreys opened their Champions Cup campaign in emphatic fashion by posting a bonus point 42-7 victory over outclassed Liberty Stadium visitors Treviso. Wales fly-half Dan Biggar ran the show, kicking 17 points and orchestrating Ospreys' best attacking moments as full-back Dan Evans touched down twice, while wing Jeff Hassler, scrum-half Rhys Webb and number eight Dan Baker also scored tries. Treviso wing Ludovico Nitoglia scored a late consolation try, converted by former Worcester and Wasps fly-half Joe Carlisle, but there was little for the Italians to cheer on another dismal European occasion for them. Dan Evans scores his second, and Osprey's fifth, try of the match in what was a routine win over Treviso It meant the unbeaten Guinness PRO12 leaders took early charge of Pool Five, teeing up nicely next Saturday's clash against reigning Aviva Premiership champions Northampton at Franklin's Gardens. Saints will start as favourites - they beat Ospreys twice in last season's Heineken Cup - but Biggar and company can head to the East Midlands confident of making an impression. The only worrying note on an otherwise routine afternoon was Wales autumn squad hopeful Baker being carried off midway through the second period after suffering what appeared to be a neck injury. There was a 10-minute stoppage while Baker received attention from medics. Dan Biggar ran the show, kicking 17 points and orchestrating Ospreys' best attacking moments Treviso, back in Swansea little more than a month after they suffered a 44-13 PRO12 defeat against the Ospreys, were soon under pressure when Biggar sparked a brilliant counter-attack from deep inside home territory. And although Treviso halted that move, two successful Biggar penalties during the opening eight minutes hinted at a long shift to come for the lowest-ranked team in this season's competition. There was a fluency about Ospreys' play and after Biggar completed his penalty hat-trick inside 13 minutes, their opening try arrived shortly afterwards following strong set-piece play, slick handling and a neat Biggar pass than sent Hassler over. Biggar added the conversion, and Ospreys were well on their way to a potential bonus-point victory, leading 16-0 early in the second quarter of a one-sided encounter. Dan Baker was carried off midway through the second period after suffering what appeared to be a neck injury Treviso's cause was not helped by the loss through injury of captain Antonio Pavanello, and they were then temporarily reduced to 14 players when Pavanello's replacement Marco Fuser was sin-binned by French referee Pascal Gauzere for pulling down a maul deep inside his team's 22. Ospreys then kept up the pressure, and Webb sniped his way over for a sixth try in seven starts this term - form that suggests he will strongly challenge Mike Phillips to wear the Wales number nine shirt against opening autumn Test series opponents Australia on November 8 - and Biggar's conversion made it 23-0. The Ospreys forwards looked to maintain their grip in the second period, and their dominance led to a further Treviso indiscretion that saw substitute prop Salesi Manu yellow-carded, which as with Fuser's caution cost the visitors dear. Justin Tipuric of Ospreys is tackled by Treviso's Italian No 8 Alessandro Zanni Within a minute of Manu's exit, the Ospreys struck for their third try when Evans grounded possession underneath a pile of bodies, and Biggar's conversion left Treviso 30 points adrift with more than 30 minutes remaining. The bonus-point try arrived with just 54 minutes gone as Treviso's defence found itself scattered to all parts, enabling Baker to enjoy an unopposed run-in before Biggar maintained his 100 per cent success rate by landing a seventh successful kick from seven attempts. Baker's injury did not noticeably disrupt the Ospreys' rhythm, and their fifth try arrived 17 minutes from time following a sharp break and a superbly-timed scoring pass by the impressive Webb to an unmarked Evans. Treviso showed plenty of commitment and desire, despite the scoreline, but their technical, tactical and skill limitations mean it will be a major surprise if they win a European game this season, especially as their other pool opponents are Northampton and Racing Metro. With the game long done as a contest, Ospreys head coach Steve Tandy had all eight of his substitutes on well before the end, including Wales internationals Justin Tipuric, Aaron Jarvis and Duncan Jones, but he knows the European campaign is about to crank up considerably as Northampton lie in wait.
Ospreys beat Treviso 42-7 in their Champions Cup opener. Dan Biggar kicked 17 points and played well throughout. Dan Evans, Jeff Hassler, Rhys Webb and Dan Baker all scored tries.

Outgoing Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin, who said just a few weeks ago that Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst was "wrong for the state of Iowa," has changed his tune. Harkin, who was an ardent supporter of Democratic Congressman Bruce Braley in the race to succeed him, sees promise in Ernst as she prepares to represent the Hawkeye state for the next six years. "I think she has the potential to be one, yes," Harkin told reporters in typical "Iowa nice" fashion on Capitol Hill, when asked if Ernst would be a good senator. They all have the potential when they come here. I think maybe some of the statements she's made in the past -- I don't know -- you know people grow, people grow into jobs. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt." The senator got into hot water while campaigning against her when he compared Ernst's looks to Taylor Swift as the race came to a close, though he's apparently shaken off the results. "Obviously I was disappointed that Bruce Braley didn't get elected. Fine guy, great congressman, but hey, that's the breaks of elections, right?" he said. Ernst beat Braley by eight points in the midterms earlier this month. Her win was a key seat Republicans needed to take the majority in the upper chamber. Harkin did reach out to Ernst on election night to congratulate her for running a "great campaign" but didn't offer any other details. Asked for advice he would give Ernst as he concludes his 40-year career in Washington, Harkin said "if you want to be a good senator, when you come here, forget about the headlines, learn the rules, try to get on good committees, and think about the long term -- about what you can do for your state, for Iowa, in the long term because things don't happen overnight around here. You gotta start thinking about what you want to do that may take you four or five or six years or even beyond to get accomplished."
Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin is retiring at the end of his term. He'll be replaced by Republican Sen.-elect Joni Ernst. Harkin, who backed Ernst's opponent, said she could turn out to be a good senator.

By Claire Ellicott A young patient who died of dehydration at a leading teaching hospital phoned police from his bed because he was so thirsty, an inquest heard yesterday. Officers arrived at Kane Gorny's bedside, but were told by nurses that he was in a confused state and were sent away. The keen footballer and runner, 22, died of dehydration a few hours later. Hospital: Kane Gorny, 22, pictured with his mother Rita, needed drugs to regulate his hormone levels after successfully beating brain cancer. However, during a hospital stay nurses forgot to give him his medication A coroner had such grave concerns about the case that she referred it to police. Yesterday an inquest was told how Mr Gorny died after blunders and neglect by 'lazy and careless' medical staff at St George's Hospital in Tooting, South London. His mother Rita Cronin, a civil servant told Westminster Coroner's Court that staff tutted at her and repeatedly refused to listen to her concerns that her son hadn't been given vital medication. At one point he became so desperate and upset that staff sedated and restrained him – and on the night before his death, his mother said, he was not checked on by medical staff, despite being in a room on his own. Following his death, a nurse allegedly inquired whether the family, from Balham, South-West London, was 'finished' and asked a matron in front of them whether she could 'bag him up'. Mr Gorny, who worked in Waitrose and was training to be a locksmith and shoe repairer, had survived a malignant brain tumour in 2008. Inquest: Rita Cronin, left, and Kane's father Peter Gorny arriving at their son's inquest. Rita told the court she had tried to convince the staff at the hospital her son needed urgent attention but they insisted he was alright The cancer affected his pituitary gland, which controls the body's mechanisms, such as fluid levels. Part of his treatment included a course of steroids to regulate the fluid levels in his body. These drugs, however, weakened his bones and he was in hospital for a routine hip replacement. Doctors told him that, without regular medication to control his fluid levels, he would die. When he arrived at hospital for the hip operation, nurses assured the family they would give him his medication and said: 'Don't worry, he's in good hands – we'll look after him.' But, despite the repeated reminders and insistence by both Mr Gorny and his family, staff failed to give him the tablets and he became severely dehydrated after being refused water. In an interview with the Daily Mail in 2010, Miss Cronin said of the nurses who treated him: 'They were lazy, careless and hadn't bothered to check his charts and see his medication was essential. He was totally dependent on the nurses to help him and they totally betrayed him.' Yesterday Miss Cronin told the inquest she received a distressed phone call from her son on May 27, 2009, in which he told her he'd called the police because he was so desperate for a drink. Help: Police raced to St George's Hospital in Tooting, south London (pictured) but were turned away by staff She then went to the hospital where she found him 'confused and angry', shouting at staff and behaving in an uncharacteristically abusive manner. Despite this, one doctor asked if he was 'coming off the booze' and another asked if he was 'always like this'. Miss Cronin said: 'He sounded really, really distressed. He said "They won't give me anything to drink". 'He also said "I've called the police. You better get here quickly: they're all standing around the bed getting their stories straight".' When Miss Cronin arrived, she recalled: 'They weren't doing anything. They seemed out of their depth. It felt like the two locum doctors were nervous about calling anyone more senior than them.' The inquest heard Mr Gorny was restrained by security guards and sedated with strong medication to calm him down. Later, he was put into a side room and left alone. Miss Cronin said she sat in his room for three hours the night before he died without a single nurse checking on him or giving him vital medicine. 'He was starting to enjoy his life again, even though he had pains in his hip.' Kane's mother Rita Cronin She said she told a nurse who walked past the room that Mr Gorny had not had his medication. When Miss Cronin volunteered to return to the hospital should he wake, another nurse allegedly told her: 'You don't need to do that. If he makes noise, I'll close the door and then he won't wake everyone up.' She added: 'I later realised that her comment was unbelievable but I was so distraught that it didn't register.' The morning of her son's death, May 28, 2009, Miss Cronin arrived at the hospital early to find him delirious with swollen lips and a swollen tongue. She recalled: 'I then heard three nurses outside his room and I said: "There's something wrong with my son. He doesn't look right." 'The nurse said to me "He had a good night. There's nothing wrong with him and he's just had breakfast and a chat with us." 'I thought: "How could he have had breakfast? There's no evidence (of breakfast)." 'The nurse carried on her handover then I interrupted again and said: “He's not right.” 'The other nurse then tutted and said: "She's already told you he had a good night." And with that the three of them walked off.' Miss Cronin said she then noticed that her son hadn't been given his medication because the packet was still on the table by his bed. She told the locum doctor about her concerns, but the doctor said it wouldn't do him any harm. A doctor doing the rounds then checked on Mr Gorny. Miss Cronin said: 'He took one look at him then he started calling to everyone “Get in there quickly”. 'It suddenly dawned on me he hasn't had his medication, hasn't had his bloods done, nobody's given him a drink, nobody's bothered to put his drip back on him. 'Nobody's done anything since yesterday afternoon when he became aggressive.' She said there was a 'flurry of activity' and everyone 'had a very sad look on their face' as they battled to save her son's life. Miss Cronin said: 'The main doctor came out and you could tell he was really angry. He said: “You need to go and see your son. He's dying.” The couple then found their son lying in blood and fluid-soaked sheets and a nurse came in and asked them to help her to change them. The same nurse later came into the matron's office and asked whether they were 'finished', adding: 'Can I bag him up?' The death certificate said Mr Gorny died of a 'water deficit' and 'hypernatraemia' – a medical term for dehydration. Mr Gorny had radiotherapy and chemotherapy following his diagnosis of brain cancer. He was eventually given the all-clear and led a normal life until his mother noticed he was having trouble with his hip. As he waited for the surgery, his life started to return to normal. 'He was out and about like everybody else,' said Miss Cronin yesterday. 'I always used to make him take his tablets for the next morning, just in case he stayed at a friend's house – and he knew the importance of his medication. We all did. 'He was starting to enjoy his life again, even though he had pains in his hip. He was upset he was having a hip replacement - he was worried he would be in a wheelchair when he was 50.' Nurses at the hospital were said to have been offered counselling as a result of Mr Gorny's death. The inquest continues. The case is still being considered by the Crown Prosecution Service.
Nurses forgot to give Kane Gorny his medication and he became so delirious he called 999. His mother said she spent hours trying to convince staff he needed attention but was told he was alright. Alarm finally raised an hour before his death when a doctor realised how serious his condition was.

(CNN) -- Tour de France race director Christian Prudhomme has confirmed the 2013 race -- the centenary edition -- will start on the French island of Corsica. Corsica, which lies off the southern French coast, will host the first three stages of the race from Porto-Vecchio to Calvi, the first time the Tour has ever visited. Prudhomme told AFP: "For the hundredth edition of the race, we wanted to go somewhere new, somewhere spectacular. "In Corsica, we have all of that. We have everything in place for an enchanting start to the race," he added. The opening 201.5km stage from Porto-Vecchio to Bastia is likely to favor the sprinters, while the 153km second stage from Bastia to Ajaccio, is expected to see the climbers come to the fore. The third stage is relatively short, just 145km from Ajaccio to Calvi. Every French region has hosted a stage of the Tour but the race has never previously crossed over to Corsica, the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, for logistical reasons. The 2012 Tour de France will begin in the Belgian city of Liege on June 30.
The 2013 Tour de France will start from the French island of Corsica. Three stages will be held on the island, the first time the Tour has visited. 2013 marks the 100th edition of the biggest cycle race in the world.

Just seven months after he left his post at Good Morning America to join the NBC Sports team, Josh Elliott seems to have landed a very big promotion. A grinning and giddy Elliott joined Matt Lauer, Al Roker and Hoda Kotb this morning as one of the four anchors on Today. The move comes just one month after his six month non-compete clause with ABC expired. Scroll down for video Moving up: Josh Elliott (left) joined Hota Kotb, Matt Lauer and Al Roker (seen above with Tamron Hall and actor Jim Carrey) as one of the four anchors on Today this morning Old gig: Elliott (above with Ginger Zee, Lara Spencer and Amy Robach) left his post at Good Morning America in March Elliott was filling in for Natalie Morales, and assumed her news-reading duties throughout the morning. This is a big move up for Elliott, and something that will likely anger execs over at ABC. At the time of his departure from the rival network, it was said he would be working with NBC Sports, and would appear on Today only to do sports-related segments. This morning however, Elliott looked very comfortable filling in, bringing in some of the banter and humor that he used to help GMA topple Today in the ratings race starting back in April of 2012, after the show's 16 year run as the most watched morning news program. Thrilled: Elliott shared his excitement about hosting the morning news program on Twitter today The show has continued to struggle in the ratings since then, pulling in just 4.7 million viewers the week of October 13 as opposed to Good Morning America's 5.4 million, this according to TV Newser. And while America has kept things simple with just four anchors, Robin Roberts, Lara Spencer, George Stephanopoulos, and Amy Robach, along with meteorologist Ginger Zee, on camera during the two hour program, Today now has nine anchors spread out over four hours of television, including Carson Daly, Willie Geist, Kathie Lee Gifford, Tamron Hall and Savanna Guthrie, in addition to Lauer, Roker, Morales and Kotb. Old pals: Elliot (right) and pal Sam Champion (middle) left GMA within months of one another, with Elliott being replaced by Robach (left) Personal life: Elliot (left) is engaged to NYC news anchor Liz Cho (second from right, seen with Jonathan Tisch and Champion) There is no word yet if Elliott will now be a permanent fixture on the show, or will just be stopping by in the absence of Morales. Elliott, who is engaged to New York City's ABC news anchor Liz Cho, wanted to get out of his gig at Good Morning America so badly that he reportedly took a pay cut to head over to NBC back on March 30. TMZ reported that Elliott felt slighted over the $14 million contract Roberts signed to stay on as anchor of the program, as he was only offered an annual salary somewhere between $4 and $5 million. Permanent gig: It is uncertain in Elliott will now be a regular fixture on Today, or just fill in when Natalie Morales is absent, as she was this morning He ended up signing a contract for just over $3 million a year to go to NBC, with no promise he would ever be on Today. The move came just a few months after his good friend Sam Champion also left the program to take a job with The Weather Channel. Elliott was replaced by Robach while Champion was replaced by Zee.
Josh Elliott made his first appearance as a co-anchor on Today this morning, filling in for Natalie Morales. This comes 7 months after the TV journalist took a pay cut to leave Good Morning America for NBC Sports, with no promise he would be on Today. Elliott had a six month non-compete clause barring him from appearing on Today until this month. Today continues to struggle in the ratings against GMA, with the ABC program pulling in over 500,000 more viewers the week of October 13.

(CNN) -- Hundreds filed by a casket on Sunday to say goodbye to a small-town hero who died shortly after scoring the winning shot to clinch an undefeated season for his Michigan high school basketball team. Friends, family and even competitors braved a cold Michigan day for a pair of afternoon visitations for 16-year-old Wes Leonard of Fennville. Some piled off of school buses and hugged each other in the crisp winter air. "He was just an all around great guy to play against," Craig Peterson, a player on the Bangor high school basketball team, told CNN affiliate WZZM. "He was always respectful, he didn't run his mouth like most of the people would. He just liked to have fun, and was a great athlete." Leonard's funeral is set for 10:30 a.m. Tuesday at Christ Memorial Church in nearby Holland. Leonard died moments after scoring the winning basket in overtime Thursday, securing a perfect season for the Fennville High School Blackhawks. Leonard scored his team's last four points in the 57-55 victory. An autopsy Friday revealed Leonard died of cardiac arrest due to an enlarged heart, according to a statement from Dr. David A. Start, the Ottawa County chief medical examiner.

(CNN) -- Jury selection kicked off Thursday in the federal corruption case of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick and his associates, who are accused of setting up a criminal enterprise in the mayor's office that engaged in racketeering, bribery, fraud and extortion. A panel of 12 jurors, with six alternates, will decide the fate of Kilpatrick; his father, Bernard Kilpatrick; contractor Bobby Ferguson; and Victor Mercado, a former director of Detroit's Water and Sewerage Department. Prosecutors say they were involved in rigging millions of dollars worth of city contracts and extorting city contractors. The jury panel will be whittled from a pool of more than 200 potential candidates. All four men have maintained their innocence. Their attorneys were not immediately available for comment. Ex-Detroit mayor got free trips from pension fund broker, feds say Prosecutors say the defendants were "working together to abuse Kilpatrick's public offices, both his position as a state representative as well as his position of mayor of Detroit, to unjustly enrich themselves through a pattern of extortion, bribery and fraud." At the heart of the scheme was corruption in municipal contracting, mostly centering on the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, said Barbara McQuade, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. Derrick Miller, a former Kilpatrick aide, entered into a plea agreement last year and is expected to testify against his former associates. In September 2008, the ex-mayor pleaded guilty to two felony counts of obstruction of justice stemming from his efforts to cover up an extramarital affair. He also pleaded no contest to charges of assaulting a police officer who was attempting to serve a subpoena on a Kilpatrick friend in that case. 2008: Detroit mayor apologizes to supporters, says he will not resign 2010: Former Detroit mayor indicted on 19 fraud, tax charges .

Sumatra, Indonesia (CNN) -- Few people in the world have the chance to see a former pet orangutan released back into the wild and it was about to happen right in front of me. We were with the Frankfurt Zoological Society orangutan team deep in the Sumatran jungle at the site where Bobo the endangered Sumatran orangutan was to be released. I was standing with the CNN team about 10 feet from the orangutan's crate, watching in anticipation as an Indonesian man was standing on top about to open it. He lifted one wall of the crate and Bobo slowly walked out. The orangutan was very calm as he exited the crate. The first thing he did was look over to where we were standing. That also happened to be the direction where our tech expert John had placed our gopro camera just a few feet away. It was an incredible sight and a great shot. Read more: 'We knew this was going to be a trip like no other' I was actually a bit nervous seeing Bobo look at us. FZS Indonesia Director Peter Pratje warned us not to get too close to the 11-year-old male orangutan. Sumatran orangutans can be very strong and unpredictable. We had no idea what to expect. Did we make him feel threatened? Would he charge a group of onlookers with cameras? Luckily for us, the answer was no. He turned away from us and walked into the jungle. The islands of Sumatra and Borneo are the only two places on earth where wild orangutans roam free. It's illegal to have one as a pet because it's an endangered species, but they're sold on the black market for thousands of dollars. Pet orangutans are hunted and captured as very small babies from remote areas of the rainforest. It's a brutal process. Mother orangutans often fight to protect their babies, like any mother would, so the mother is often killed in the process. It's a cruel way to get a cute pet for only a few years. Most orangutans are too much for people to handle as they grow into adolescence, so the owners seldom keep their pets. That's exactly what happened to Bobo. He was five years old when his owner gave him up. Bobo was then brought to Peter Pratje and his team at the Frankfurt Zoological Society. Read more: Why you should care about the Sumatran rainforest When the FZS obtains a former pet orangutan like Bobo, the only life these animals have ever known is captivity. So the FZS team has to erase all the captive behavior the orangutan learned as a pet and replace it with wild orangutan behavior. It takes many years to individually model this behavior to these orangutans to replicate the lessons that a mother orangutan would've taught her baby. Each orangutan has to learn everything from finding food to climbing a tree. Climbing is very important for Sumatran orangutans. They share the same habitat as Sumatran tigers, so to keep from becoming a tiger's dinner, orangutans must live most of their lives in trees. After Bobo left his crate, he was supposed to climb the tree in front of him to a platform Peter and his team had constructed. But he didn't. Frustratingly, Bobo wasn't using his training. He remained on the ground, walking around, as we followed him for more than half an hour. Read more: Orangutans stressed by eco-tourists After a release, members of the FZS orangutan team usually follow the newly wild orangutan for several weeks during the day for until they're sure the orangutan can survive on its own. Several members of the team were following Bobo that day trying to coax him into the trees with fruit. Nothing worked. Minutes ticked by. Finally, Peter theorized that Bobo was staying on the ground because there were so many people around him walking on the ground. Bobo has been modeling the behavior of human trainers for years, so maybe he wanted to be like us and stay on the ground. We didn't want to hurt Bobo's chances of survival, so we decided to leave him and the FZS trackers to go about their day. It was too early to tell how Bobo will be able to survive in the rainforest by himself. We would have to wait and get an update from Peter later. Walking back to the camp, we were all feeling a sense of awe and hope for the future of Sumatran orangutans and for endangered species worldwide. If this species can be brought back from the brink of extinction, could this be a model for other species?
Jenni Watts produced Expedition: Sumatra, CNN's new environment special. The team traveled round Indonesia charting some of the biggest issues affecting the country. They visited an orangutan conservation group trying to protect the endangered species.

(CNN) -- Most of us have a favorite toy from childhood that still has the power to make us smile, whether it's a Barbie doll, a Micro Machine or the board game Operation. What makes them memorable is the subject of a new book, "Toy Time! From Hula Hoops to He-Man to Hungry Hungry Hippos," a collection of some of the most beloved toys of the 20th century. Author Christopher Byrne crowd-sourced the compilation from readers of the popular website TimetoPlayMag.com and came up with more than 100 beloved toys. The book includes not just the most popular choices, such as Big Wheels and the Etch a Sketch, but also those that prompted the most compelling memories, serving as "a catalyst for the imagination," Byrne said. Most of our favorite toys came into our lives when we were developing our identity and figuring out the world, he said. Some, like the rampaging dinosaur King Zor (1962), have faded from the cultural landscape, while others, like View-Master and Nok Hockey (which both hit the mass market in the 1940s), have been passed down through generations. The toys that stick with us are those that allowed us to explore new worlds and create experiences. "Ultimately, play is something that happens in the imagination," said Byrne, content director of TimetoPlayMag.com. "What makes each Barbie doll unique is how a little girl creates and projects her sense of self and her fantasies onto that piece of plastic." Other toys create strong memories simply because of their nostalgic appeal. "Some, just by looking at them, reflect the design sensibility of the time, becoming almost works of art," he said. "We identify with them in the cultural context of their time." So, how can you tell if a toy will be a hit for your child? When it comes to gift-giving for children, the most important rule of thumb is to know who you're shopping for, Byrne said. "The hot toys are only hot if they're hot for your child," he said. "The toys that become memorable are the ones that connect with our interests."
New book "Toy Time" looks back at memorable toys of the 20th century. The crowd-sourced list includes toys such as View-Master and Nok Hockey. More recent selections include POGS and Trolls.

By James Slack Last updated at 4:09 PM on 18th November 2011 In a damning indictment of community policing, one in four people has never seen a bobby walking the beat. Despite millions of pounds being poured into making the forces of law and order more visible, the streets are still too often devoid of that reassuring presence. Even the ‘Blunkett bobbies’ designed for just that purpose are seen infrequently. Damning indictment of community policing: The revelations will reignite controversy about police efficiency High visibility: The Home Office spent hundreds of millions of pounds on recruiting and training civilian staff to become PCSOs The disturbing findings were uncovered in a survey of almost 50,000 by the Home Office. The British Crime Survey discovered that 55 per cent of the public had seen police officers or police community support officers walking the beat at least once a month. But this fell to one in seven, or 14 per cent, when they were asked if they see officers on a daily basis. And 25 per cent said they had not at any stage seen either a fully-fledged police officer or PCSO on the beat. PCSOs, introduced by David Blunkett when he was Home Secretary, are supposed to spend the bulk of their time pounding the streets. The Home Office spent hundreds of millions of pounds on recruiting and training the civilian staff, who do not have proper police powers and cannot make arrests. The revelations will reignite controversy about police efficiency. One of the most common demands from members of the public is for more officers on the beat to provide reassurance that they are being protected from thugs and burglars. But Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary said recently that fewer than one in ten uniformed officers in some forces are available to man the front line at any one time. Police spending almost doubled, from £7.72billion in 1998/1999 to £14.55billion a decade later. The number of officers increased from 124,756 in March 1998, to a peak of around 141,000. Pioneering: David Blunkett introduced PCSOs when he was Home Secretary But, while officer numbers were increasing dramatically, the proportion of time an officer actually spends on patrol fell, from 15.3 per cent to 13.8 per cent. Police budgets are being cut as part of the Government’s austerity measures – with forces threatening to axe around 16,000 police officers. Last night Roy Rudham, chairman of the UK Neighbourhood Watch Trust, said: ‘It has always been a concern of people that they do not see police officers on the street and with the cuts being implemented the likelihood is they will see even fewer officers. ‘That will especially be the case if crime goes up and police resources are stretched to the absolute limit.’ The Home Office survey also found that only half of the public – 52 per cent – were confident that the authorities were effective at reducing anti-social behaviour. And just 41 per cent felt the authorities were effective in bringing louts to justice. The situation on police visibility has improved. In 2006, four out of ten people said they had never witnessed a police officer or PCSO on the streets. But it will be considered poor progress for the massive investment in extra police and PCSOs. The survey also found that only 4 per cent had used the online crime maps introduced by the Home Office to give people a greater idea of crime levels on their street and to increase police accountability. When the maps were launched at the start of this year, the website crashed – apparently due to high demand. In its report, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary found that there are more officers on duty on a Monday morning than at any other time of the week – and the fewest just after midnight on Friday when drunken violence soars. Antiquated shift patterns, court hearings and training requirements mean that in two forces – Bedfordshire and Devon and Cornwall – only 9 per cent of officers can actually tackle crime, it said. The watchdog found many other forces fared little better, with an average of 12 per cent of officers available to catch crooks and keep people safe. Chief Inspector of Constabulary Sir Denis O’Connor also highlighted how one in three members of the police workforce is not employed in a front-line role. These include staff working in personnel, maintenance and administration. HMIC is predicting the loss of 16,100 officers by 2015, along with up to 1,800 community support officers and 16,100 civilian staff, because of budget cuts. But it says there is so much waste that £1billion – the equivalent of a 12 per cent cut in government funding – could be axed without any reduction in police availability. This would be achieved by getting police out from behind their desks. Critics say repeated promises by Labour to cut red tape failed to deliver. Police Minister Nick Herbert said: ‘We know the public want their local police to be visible and responsive to their concerns. And the police want to be out in their local communities stopping crime, catching criminals and helping victims. ‘That’s why we have swept away central targets and red tape to free up more officers for the frontline.’
Findings uncovered in Home Office survey of 50,000. Only 14 per cent see officers on daily basis. Results in spite of PCSO 'Blunkett bobbies' introduced to boost police visibility.

Gordon Brown gave Labour rising star Chuka Umunna ‘the hairdryer treatment’ in a blistering phone call after the shadow business secretary publicly blamed him for Labour’s struggles on the economy. Mr Brown attacked the shadow cabinet minister for an interview he gave criticising the former Labour leader’s failure to confront Britain’s ballooning deficit in the run up to the 2010 election. Mr Umunna said Mr Brown’s refusal to even talk about Government ‘cuts’ was still costing Labour support, because it made the party look like it did not care about the deficit. Labour are currently 25 points behind the Tories on which party is best for the economy. Scroll down for video Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna (left) and Gordon Brown (right) clashed on the phone over Labour's record on the economy But the remarks sparked a furious response from Mr Brown, MailOnline has learnt. The former Prime Minister told Mr Umunna that he should not accept Tory claims that Labour was spending too much before the last general election, a senior Labour source revealed. The source said: ‘He still cannot accept Labour was running a structural deficit. Even after all this time he won’t accept that he was wrong – it’s unbelievable.’ The deficit – the difference between Government spending and how much it raises in taxes each year – was more than £160 billion in 2010. Labour blamed the huge borrowing splurge on the global recession – because the Government was forced to withstand a huge hit on tax revenue as people lost their jobs, while at the same time increasing spending on benefits. But analysis has since revealed that the ‘structural deficit’ – the amount of borrowing needed even when the economy is growing normally – had grown to more than £100 billion in the last year of the Labour government. In an interview with GQ magazine, published this month, Mr Umunna said Mr Brown’s refusal to face up to the deficit was still hurting the Labour Party. He said: ‘My view is that the seeds were sown under the last government and Gordon - for whom I have a lot of respect - his refusal to use the word “cuts” in trying to frame the economic debate as investment versus cuts gave the impression we didn't understand that debt and deficit would have to be dealt with.’ Shadow chancellor Ed Balls (left) and the Labour leader Ed Miliband (right), who were both Treasury aides under Gordon Brown, have defended the party's record controlling Government spending A source close to Mr Umunna confirmed the pair spoke in a telephone call after the interview was published earlier this month. The source said: ‘It is something they disagree on. ‘Chuka’s argument has always been that pursuing the line that it was Labour spending versus Tory cuts allowed Osborne to make the whole election debate about deficit reduction. They spoke and that is definitely still his view.’ A spokesman for Mr Umunna said: 'Chuka and Gordon are both members of the PLP - or course they speak to each other on a range of issues. Chuka has great respect for Gordon.' It is understood that on this occasion Mr Umunna initiated the call. Conservative MP Henry Smith said the confrontation between Mr Brown and Mr Umunna revealed a 'divided' Labour Party. He said: 'This shows a Labour party still in denial about the record deficit they left behind and with no plan to deal with our debts and ensure a more financially secure future for Britain. 'Brown’s intervention begs the question who’s in charge of a clearly split and infighting Labour leadership team.'
EXCLUSIVE: Source reveals extraordinary call by ex Prime Minister. Mr Umunna blamed former PM for Labour's economic credibility problem. He said Mr Brown 'gave impression we didn't understand debt and deficit' Former Labour leader confronted Mr Umunna in an angry call afterwards.

By Kieran Corcoran A British TV producer was killed in Qatar when a speeding motorcyclist hit her while racing a friend at high speed. Kerry Rome, 33, moved to Qatar to work for TV news station Al-Jazeera, and had been out with colleagues before being knocked down as she crossed the road at 2am, an inquest heard. She was the TV station's first female technical director, and moved to the Middle East for work with her husband Mark Harris, 35. Killed: Kerry Rome, pictured, was knocked down and killed by a motorcyclist in Qatar in 2012 Police initially believed Mrs Rome's death was accidental - but it later emerged that the motorbike rider had no driving licence, and was racing a friend when he hit Mrs Rome on April 20, 2012. A 21-year-old man was convicted of killing Kerry in a Qatari court in 2012 with a judge describing his speed as 'excessive'. An inquest in Stamford, Lincolnshire, heard that the biker hit Mrs Rome - who had just stepped out into the road - while trying to under-take his rival. Moments after stepping into the road she was struck by the motorcyclist as he attempted to under-take his friend. Giving evidence, Mrs Rome's mother Margaret, 62, described the moment she found out about her daughter’s death as 'the worst phone call of my life'. She added: 'My lovely daughter Kerry would be here today if that reckless, dangerous motorcyclist had not been racing with a friend at 2am'. Mr Harris also paid tribute to his late wife, whom he had married just months before her death in an Elvis-themed Las Vegas wedding. 'Excessive': The motorcyclist was undertaking his rival in a street race when he hit Mrs Rome. A Qatari court convicted him of the killing Mark, originally from Market Deeping Lincolnshire, said: 'Kerry was an amazing person. She was kind, generous, there to help and never had a bad word to say about anyone. 'We were career-oriented adults who relocated abroad to make a good life and good careers for ourselves. 'This was all taken away by a man who was out racing a motorbike with his friends.' A toxicology report carried out in Qatar found 296mg of alcohol per 100ml in Kerry’s blood, around three-and-a-half times the British drink-drive limit. Three of Mrs Rome's colleagues told the hearing she did not appear drunk on the night she died. Oliver Walker said: 'We had a few drinks but nothing major as we were dancing close to the stage. It’s not like we were pounding shots at the bar'. South Lincolnshire coroner Professor Robert Forrest said: 'It had appeared that the motorcyclist was undertaking one of his companions when the collision took place.' Middle East: Mrs Rome moved to Qatar for work with her husband Mark Harris He added that there was insufficient evidence to produce a verdict of unlawful killing, instead recording the incident as a death caused as a result of a road traffic collision. A friend of the family said today: 'The family are obviously disappointed that the coroner effectively delivered a verdict of accidental death. 'It is the family’s position that Kerry was not killed in an accident. The motorcyclist hit her during an illegal road race. 'If he had not been taking part in an illegal activity Kerry would still be here today.' Kerry and her husband Mark moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2008 when she became the first female technical director of live news at Al Jazeera English. They then transferred to Doha in October 2011 when Kerry was promoted to Al Jazeera English’s head office. Speaking after the inquest, her mother said: 'She was such a vivacious person and so full of life. Considering how young she was she has done so much in her life. 'When we went out there and saw what life was like we realised how strong a person she was. We are all so incredibly proud of her and what she did.' Kirsty Rome, her sister, added: 'We were all really close, she loved her family. She did more in her 33 years than most do in a lifetime.'
Kerry Rome, 33, was killed around 2am on April 20, 2012. She was hit by biker who was undertaking his rival, inquest heard. Mrs Rome moved to Qatar for work, and had married just months before. She was the first ever female technical director at Al-Jazeera TV station.

By Rob Waugh UPDATED: 04:54 EST, 28 September 2011 Apple has made the launch date of iPhone official - at last. But the company hasn't said what new models, if any, it will be launching, instead inviting journalists to a 'Special Event', with the cryptic invitation 'Let's Talk iPhone'. The company remained typically tight-lipped about what the 'event' might launch - but it seems set to be epic. For the first time, the event is being held at the company's Cupertino HQ in California - at the famous address, 1, Infinite Loop, a geeky programming joke. Few outsiders ever visit the complex - so even seeing the company on its home turf is sure to ignite a media frenzy. Let's talk iPhone: The Apple invitation, with the date, the time and the location Every previous event has been held at conference venues nearby. Apple staff have been 'banned' from holidays in the first two weeks of October in America, and tech insiders expect products from the launch to appear in stores shortly after - probably on October 14. All the signs now point towards an early October launch for the gadgets. Tim Cook, chief operating officer of Apple Inc, is expected to launch the iPhone 5 on October 4. The event will be his first big product introduction 'Having seen first-hand how Apple packs its staff inside its stores for iPhone launches does suggest that whatever new product they announce is imminent,' says Luke Peters, editor of T3. Tech insiders believe that any new iPad is far off in the distance, and that the current flurry of components, rumours and leaks refer inevitably to new models of iPhone. The idea that there are two models - one sporting the fast A5 processor inside iPad 2, and a cheaper model with lower-tech components, seems likely. Al Gore, a board member of Apple Computer, seemed to give the biggest hint yet of what the tech giant had in store for us in October - referring to 'the new iPhones released next month.' This seemed to confirm two rumours: one, that there would be more than one model, and two, that they would both appear late in October. Mr Gore's statements - at a conference in South Africa - also tied in closely with the most credible of the recent iPhone rumours. Al Gore, a board member of Apple Computer, seemed to give the biggest hint yet of what the tech giant had in store for us in October - referring to 'the new iPhones released next month' While the iPhone 5 is much anticipated, there is more at stake than usual. This is because, since legendary outgoing CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs announced his departure, it will be newly installed CEO Tim Cook’s first big product introduction, and the place where the public will experience a new iPhone without Jobs's cultish presentation. People have wondered whether Apple can continue to compete without its creative driving force - especially as rivals such as Samsung continue to gain ground on the tech giant. Apple's new iPhone is now competing with hi-tech touchscreens such as Samsung's Galaxy S II - and the battle has also become the subject of a bitter legal dispute .
Unveiling at 10am PST, 6pm GMT. Invitation is four Apple icons. No statement on whether it's iPhone 5 or new iPhone 4. Rumours of 'voice controlled' iPhone circulate.

Editor's Note: Al Vivian is president & CEO of BASIC Diversity, Inc., a 35-year-old consultancy that specializes in diminishing cross-cultural biases that has worked with clients such as Coca-Cola, Ford, Kroger, McDonald's, the National Security Agency and CNN. He is also an adviser to the United States Army for diversity and cultural affairs. Al Vivian says Eric Holder was right to urge Americans to confront diversity issues now. FAYETTEVILLE, Georgia (CNN) -- Privilege can be a dangerous thing. It releases you from the task of thinking about things that others must. I am an African-American male and I am privileged. Not on race; but on gender, education, religion, income and many other areas. As a man, my authority and intellect are not second-guessed. As a Christian, my moral code is not questioned, nor am I subject to post-September 11 profiling. I have privilege in these areas, and I realize that this privilege creates blind spots. An advantage to any group creates a corresponding disadvantage to all others Recently Attorney General Eric Holder made some statements concerning America's need to confront its racial history, and the need for Americans to engage in cross-racial dialogue. Holder's comments offended some and motivated others, not uncommon when dealing with the touchy issue of race. On confronting our history he said: "To get to the heart of this country, one must examine its racial soul. ... in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards. " Concerning cross-racial dialogue he opined: "If we are to make progress in this area, we must ... have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us." In a recent interview, President Obama responded by saying, America has made "enormous progress, and we shouldn't lose sight of that ... I think it's fair to say that if I had been advising my attorney general, we would have used different language." The president went on to say, "I think what solves racial tensions is fixing the economy, putting people to work, making sure people have health care, ensuring that every kid is learning out here." They were both right; but they were addressing two different things. Obama was talking about fixing the economy to ease racial tensions. Holder was talking about overcoming our fears to dialogue and confronting racial privilege so that we can eliminate inequities that cause the racial tensions. Additionally, Holder was not saying that progress had not been made. He was saying that there is much yet to be done in order to fully engage and leverage the abilities of all of the nation's human capital. Elaborating on history, we must acknowledge that whites have been the benefactors of centuries of history that included half-truths that socially affirmed them to the detriment of all others. Addressing this privilege will take extreme courage, for there will be many loud dissenting voices. For example, there has never been a discussion in America about whether we should or should not celebrate a White History Month. That would be an irrelevant waste of time, because white history has been the basis of practically all that we have been taught. Being able to sit in a classroom and open history books that positively portray a plethora of people that resemble you has been, and continues to be, the exclusive historical privilege of whites. This privilege psychologically and economically benefits every member at every level of the advantaged category so profoundly that its members never have to question their place in society. And that place is on top: the expected and accepted norm. If you are white, consider how different life might be for you now if you had grown up from meager beginnings, while simultaneously being denigrated by a society that had denied equal access to you, your parents and every member of your race during every prior generation. This is the history of black America that Holder is saying we must understand to truly know the heart of America. History is history, and these are the facts. When we choose to exclude vital portions of history, we are no longer teaching history; we're teaching ideology. And if you're a person of color, you're excluded. The classroom experience for those who are not white tends to fit the following quote by poet Adrienne Rich: "When someone with the authority of a teacher, say, describes the world -- and you are not in it -- there is a moment of psychic disequilibrium, as if you looked into a mirror and saw nothing." It's impossible to grasp the true significance of any groups' contributions when they are taken out of context, and told as a separate story during some isolated month. It's like reading a great novel and leaving out chapters. What's missing is what the late Paul Harvey would have called "the rest of the story." George Washington Carver, a black man, had many breakthrough inventions utilizing the peanut. His contributions could sound insignificant until put into context. The south, as a region, made its money through agriculture, primarily cotton. Poor crop management practices eventually damaged the soil throughout the south until it was almost impossible to successfully grow cotton anywhere in the region. The south needed a new cash crop -- then came the peanut. George Washington Carver revitalized the agricultural south; thus the financial south. He saved the south. But because we tell his story out of context, no one understands the significance of his contributions. Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, which was a tremendous invention. However its paper filament was only operable for short periods of time, until a black man named Lewis Latimer contributed his invention, the carbon filament, to the project, making possible the widespread use of electric light. Had there been no Latimer, there would not have been a successful Edison. But most history books have no mention of Latimer. Textbooks currently teach that our great nation became a democracy in 1776. Great nation, strong republic, yes! Democracy, no. The very foundation upon which democracy was built demanded that the political leadership be selected for the people, by a vote of the people. To deny this right to millions of our citizenry for no legitimate reason was to abort democracy before it was born. The uncomfortable and blunt truth is, the United States did not legitimately become a democracy until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 made it law that no citizen could be denied the right to vote based on their race. Until we as Americans change course, grow a spine, teach true history that is inclusive of all races and replace these fallacies and half-truths with reputably documented facts, our citizenry will continue to be relegated to racially segmented ideology instead of history. We are a great democracy, and thus ready for honest dialogue. The time is now, and this discussion must go beyond black and white. It must be inclusive of Arabs, Asians, Latinos and others. It must also go both ways. People of color cannot only talk. We must also listen. All parties must be willing to be critiqued as well as offer criticism. As Holder said, this will be uncomfortable, but "this way we can hasten the day when we would truly become one America." It's unusual when someone who is out of the norm makes his or her way into the seat of privilege, because those with whom you now share this privilege do not expect you to speak for those who do not. Welcome to your seat Mr. Holder, it fits you well. And thank you for not taking the coward's route. By the way, mission accomplished. We're talking. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Al Vivian.
Al Vivian: Privilege creates blind spots that conceal the harm they do. He says whites have had a longstanding racial privilege in the U.S. Vivian: History has largely been written from perspective of white Americans. Holder was right to make his "nation of cowards" speech and urge dialogue.

(CNN) -- Lori Hyde was hunting for a unique vacation experience when her curiosity was piqued by Pretty Joe Rock, a tiny speck of land in the waters off Marathon in the Florida Keys with just enough room for a two-bedroom home and a few clusters of mangroves. She and her husband spent a week on the petite island in February, relaxing and enjoying each other's company, with no one else around but the resident birds. "I was looking for a rental that would be private so that came up as I was searching around and we were like, well it can't get much more private than that," said Hyde, 43, a stay-at-home mom who lives in Woodbridge, Virginia. "It's not an exclusive sort of thing. We're just ordinary people who just did something cool." Indeed, the idea of renting a private island usually conjures up images of multimillionaires spending a fortune to jet off to a tropical paradise in the Caribbean or the South Pacific. If you have a lot of money to shell out, the possibilities are endless. But while a big budget will give you more options and luxurious accommodations, you don't have to be rich to rent your own island for a vacation. It can sometimes take as little as a few hundred dollars a week, a sense of adventure and the willingness to look at locations closer to home. The island mystique Pretty Joe Rock, for example, can be yours for under $3,000 a week, which includes the use of a boat to get you to and from the island. Owner Bob Rainek said he gets a broad spectrum of renters, from blue collar to white collar; from families with kids to couples. "It's almost a universal thing that people have this romantic kind of feeling for islands," Rainek said. "It's a mystique to be on your own private island, to have water 360 degrees [around you.] It's a primal type emotion, as I look at it." Business has been brisk despite the economy, partly because people who might otherwise go to Mexico for a vacation have been scared off by that country's drug-related violence and are looking for something exotic closer to home, Rainek said. He was proud to tout the Florida Keys, which he called "America's Caribbean," as an alternative. Some of the most popular places to rent islands may surprise you. They include the northern United States and Canada, said Chris Krolow, the CEO of Private Islands Inc., a company based in Toronto, Ontario, that has about 200 islands for rent all over the world in its database. Clients come from all walks of life, spending as little as $550 for a week on Republic Island in Michigan (which comes with a log cabin) or more than $66,000 for a week on The Rania Experience in the Maldives (which comes with three villas, a private chef, a yacht and other ultra-luxurious touches.) 'Robinson Crusoe' experience For something in between, a budget of several thousand dollars a week is usually a good start. "We're even finding more and more people who are saving and planning a honeymoon on an island. It's a little bit more expensive than what they had originally planned but it seems to be a growing trend," Krolow said. "It's probably the most romantic experience that you could ever imagine just being on this tiny island with the person that you just married." You can choose a self-catering island, which gives you the use of a home but requires you to bring your own food and make your own meals (the less expensive option), or a full-service island that comes with a staff, according to Vladi Private Islands, a company based in Hamburg, Germany. Its database of about 150 islands for rent includes everything from Île de Chantemesle near Paris, France, to Forsyth Island, New Zealand. Some people seek the thrill of being dropped off in a remote place that's completely undeveloped. On "Robinson Crusoe" islands, you are left to your own devices, make your own meals, bring a tent or hammock and anything else you may need, the company said. Nova Scotia, Canada, is one part of the world that offers such opportunities, added Sabine Rollinger, a Vladi spokeswoman. Krolow recalled a CEO who last year spent 10 days on a deserted spot in the Marshall Islands bonding with his 13-year-old son. "It's pretty much the closest you'll get to being stranded on your own private island," Krolow said. Spending a lot or a little On the other end of the spectrum, there's Necker Island, Sir Richard Branson's 74-acre paradise in the British Virgin Islands complete with luxurious accommodations and a large staff. It's all yours for at least $53,000 a night for up to 28 guests, though you can rent individual rooms for a fraction of that price during a select few "Celebration Weeks." YouTube: See what $53,000 a day gets you on Necker Island It may sound like the ultimate getaway, but people who are looking for that private island feel might be a little disappointed by such a huge resort, Krolow said. And if the idea of having an island all too yourself is too expensive or intimidating, you can try one with a single lodge or hotel perched on top, like the quaint five-room bed-and-breakfast on East Brother Light Station near San Francisco, California. Starting at about $300 a night, it's an island stay that's both private and not too hard on the wallet. Whatever your budget, an island may be waiting.
Many islands can be rented for a few thousand dollars a week. If you have a sense of adventure, some can be had for a few hundred dollars. "It's a mystique to be on your own private island," owner says. Necker Island is on the other end of the spectrum at $53,000-plus a night.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A third person died Friday from an explosion at a rocket test pad operated by a private company in California's southern Mojave Desert, according to the nursing supervisor at Kern Medical Center in Bakersfield. A bird's eye view of the scene in Mojave, California, shows charred wreckage and large pieces of debris. The explosion, which occurred Thursday at the Mojave Air and Space Port in Mojave, California, initially killed two people and critically injured four others. On Friday three people remained hospitalized -- two in critical condition, one in serious condition. The six were employed by Scaled Composites, an aerospace development company founded 25 years ago by Burt Rutan, the aerospace engineer who designed the first plane to fly nonstop around the world without refueling. According to Rutan, the blast occurred during a test involving nitrous oxide flowing through fuel injectors. A source said the workers were testing components of a new rocket motor for SpaceShipTwo, which is a spaceship being built for Virgin Galactic, Richard Branson's space tourism company. "We were doing a test that we believed was completely safe. ... We don't know why it exploded," said Rutan, who was not at the site at the time of the accident. Watch the aftermath of the explosion » The explosion happened during a "cold fire test," he said. A spokeswoman for the space port, which is about 80 miles north of Los Angeles, said the blast was on a remote pad and that the area had been contained. Aerial video of the blast aftermath showed a charred and twisted flatbed trailer attached to a truck cab with a large silver tank next to it. Large pieces of debris appeared to be strewn for hundreds of yards from the center. Rutan won the Ansari X-Prize in 2004 for the first repeat sub-orbital space flight with his pioneering SpaceShipOne. SpaceShipTwo is a small carbon fiber craft designed to carry seven passengers up to 65 miles above the earth, traveling at a speed of about 12,000 mph. A ticket for such a ride was expected to cost $200,000. Entering the edge of space those on board will experience weightlessness for about 15 minutes before beginning the journey back to earth. "What we're trying to do is make space travel affordable and fun. Two years from now we'll be starting to take ordinary people into space," Branson told CNN in 2006. E-mail to a friend CNN's Kate Tobin and Mike Ahlers contributed to this report.

By Associated Press A soccer referee who was fatally punched by a player during a recreational game in suburban Detroit did not expect the attack, one of the player's teammates testified on Wednesday. Dr. Jamal Saleh testified during a probable-cause hearing for Bassel Saad, who is charged with second-degree murder in the death of referee John Bieniewicz. The 44-year-old referee 'did not see the punch coming,' said Saleh, who played for Saad's team during the over-30 men's league game at Mies Park in Livonia on June 29. Bieniewicz, a dialysis technician at a local hospital, had a wife and two sons. Defendant Bassel Saad sobs during a probable-cause hearing on Wednesday afternoon in Livonia, Michigan. Saad is charged with second-degree murder in the death of soccer referee John Bieniewicz John Bieniewicz (pictured), who was punched in the head on June 29 while refereeing an adult-league soccer match in the Detroit-area, died on July 1 Two players from the opposing team also testified that Saad knocked Bieniewicz to the turf with one punch after the referee indicated he planned to eject Saad from the game. The punch, which Saleh said landed around the head and neck area, caused Bieniewicz to 'fall back without any control of his body.' Saleh said he rushed toward Bieniewicz, who was on his back grasping a yellow card in one hand and a red card in the other. In soccer, a yellow card is held aloft by the referee to caution a player following a foul or other misconduct. A red card is shown by the referee when a player is being thrown out of the game. Two yellow cards given in the same game equal a red card. Witness Scott Herkes, left, demonstrates with defense attorney Ali Hammoud how he said Bassel Saad punched soccer referee John Bieniewicz, during a court hearing on Wednesday in Livonia, Michigan In this case, the players testified that Saad had been issued a yellow card following a foul in the first half, and Bieniewicz was giving him a second yellow for being verbally abusive. That's when he was struck, the three players said. A skirmish erupted between players following the attack. Saleh said he quickly checked on Bieniewicz and the referee initially was not breathing but had a pulse. Saleh said he performed CPR and told the unconscious Bieniewicz: 'Wake up, buddy. You're going to be OK.' Player Scott Herkes testified that Saad removed his jersey and left the field with another man as Bieniewicz was being tended to. Herkes said he followed the men into the parking lot and took down the license plate number of the vehicle in which they left. Prosecutors showed a photograph in which Saad appeared to be making an obscene gesture while seated in the vehicle. A man who was punched in the head on June 29 while refereeing an adult-league soccer match in the Detroit-area has died. John Bieniewicz, who was attacked on Sunday at a park in Livonia, Michigan died at Detroit Receiving Hospital on Tuesday, said hospital spokesman Alton Gunn Saad, a 36-year-old auto mechanic from Dearborn, had been charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm before Bieniewicz died on July 1. That charge was formally dropped, and prosecutors issued the murder charge. The probable-cause hearing in Livonia District Court, which will determine whether to send the case to trial, resumed today. It ended with Judge Kathleen McCann denying prosecutors' motion to bring up an alleged 2005 incident in which Saad is said to have been involved in an altercation with another player at a soccer game. Defense lawyer Ali Hammoud said his client's past has nothing to do with this case, and prosecutors' interest in bringing it up shows that 'their case is extremely weak on second-degree murder.'
Bassel Saad, 36, charged with second-degree murder in Livonia, Michigan for the fatal punch on June 29. Saad allegedly punched referee John Bieniewicz after being told he was being ejected from game. Bieniewicz, a 44-year-old dialysis tech at a local hospital, was a married father-of-two.

Earlier this season I picked Thierry Henry as my greatest-ever Premier League striker. One look at the tributes paid to him on Tuesday show plenty of people would agree. Thierry had it all. Pace, power, skill, intelligence — it was the perfect combination. But he backed up all that talent with trophies. When he was in the zone, he was almost unstoppable and single-handedly won us matches on more than one occasion. Sportsmail's Martin Keown (left) runs to celebrate with Thierry Henry (right) during a Champions League win Keown (centre) and Henry (right) were team-mates at Arsenal, where the striker became a living legend When he arrived, I sat with him in the stands at a testimonial. He spoke little English but he was purring over Ian Wright’s movement. If he can learn the punditry game as fast as he did the real one, he’ll be the best in the business by next Christmas! The club asked if I would let him have my No 14 shirt because Henry wanted it. I was after Steve Bould’s old No 5 so I agreed, although I’m sure people will remember him wearing 14 more than me! He is still the best athlete I’ve ever seen wear a pair of football boots and when he scored his first goal I said I’d be able to tell my grandchildren I had played with him. He gave me a puzzled look. After the career he had, maybe now he sees why. Sportsmail columnist Keown still believes Henry is the best athlete he's ever seen on a football pitch .
Sportsmail columnist Martin Keown was honoured to play with the legend. Thierry Henry announced his retirement from football on Tuesday. Keown let Henry have his No 14 shirt in return for Steve Bould's No 5. Sportsmail's Keown admits the Frenchman is the best he played with.

Juan Andres Palese says he's a frustrated entrepreneur. His business, the sale of products for growing and processing marijuana, has always been in a legal limbo in Uruguay, his country. Legally speaking, it's a complicated and risky situation. Selling accessories for the cultivation of cannabis is legal, but the production, sale and distribution of marijuana are not. "It would be fantastic," Palese says, "if we could also have access to the market of consumers." The dream of the Montevideo resident is about to come true. The Uruguayan Senate is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a controversial bill that would make the small South American country the first in Latin America to legalize marijuana. The bill was approved by the lower house of parliament in July with 50 out of 96 votes. It also has the support of President Jose Mujica. The bill has generated international headlines because, if approved, the Uruguayan government would have the authority to regulate the production, distribution and sale of marijuana. The legislation also has the support of the Broad Front, Mujica's party. Approval is widely expected. "More than anything, it's going to give me peace about growing what I like, which is marijuana. That's what I like to consume. It would give me the peace of mind of not having legal troubles for something that should not be illegal," Palese says. The bill rests on the premise that if "the state assumes the control and regulation of the activities of importation and exportation, sowing, growing, harvesting, producing ... storing, commercializing and distributing," then the ills of drug trafficking would be greatly reduced and the quality of the plants improved, benefiting patients and putting drug traffickers out of business. The bill would allow individuals to grow up to six plants of marijuana and possess as much as 480 grams for personal use. Marijuana clubs of anywhere from 15 to 45 members would also be allowed and granted permission to grow up to 99 plants at a time. Users would have to register, and those claiming to use cannabis for medical reasons would have to show a doctor's prescription. Marijuana would also be sold at licensed pharmacies. But many in the traditionally Catholic country of 3.3 million people feel legislators are espousing the wrong policy for the wrong reasons. Alfredo Solari, an opposition senator from the Colorado Party, says making marijuana widely available has the potential to create even higher levels of addiction. "It's a very bad piece of legislation, mainly because it increases the availability of marijuana in the market. There will be a legal market that can be accessed by most Uruguayans. But there will also be a parallel illegal market for all of those who can't get marijuana legally," Solari said. Proponents of the bill say the legislation addresses some of the concerns expressed by the opposition. For one, violators of the law would face sentences of 20 months to 10 years in prison. Those younger than 18 would not be allowed to use marijuana under any circumstances. The legislation also calls for mandatory classes in public schools aimed at drug prevention, and advertising of cannabis in any form would be strictly forbidden. Luis Gallo, a senator with the Broad Front Party, which supports the bill, said current drug policy, which rests solely on law enforcement and prohibition, has produced no results. "This is about regulating drugs. It's doesn't mean that it's a free-for-all, but it doesn't mean prohibition either. It means regulation has to work to reduce the risks and harmful effects of drug consumption," Gallo said. In an interview with CNN en Espanol, Mujica suggested in September that when it comes to drug trafficking, the trafficking part is usually more harmful than the drug itself, especially when it comes to marijuana. "We would like to identify those who consume (marijuana), take them out of the shadows and offer to them a regulated opportunity to consume (the drug) so that they don't have to depend on drug traffickers. We want to take away the market from drug traffickers by competing with them," Mujica said. Supporters of the bill launched a national campaign called "Responsible Regulation." The campaign produced public service announcements in which a doctor, a mother and an attorney suggest it makes sense for Uruguayans to support the law. Once the bill gains approval, there will be a 120-day period to give the government time to adopt regulations to implement the law.
Bill to legalize pot widely expected to pass in Tuesday vote. It would give Uruguayan government authority to regulate production and distribution. Supporters say it will put drug traffickers out of business. Opponents say it's dangerous because it will make more marijuana available.

Australia's Attorney General George Brandis was left red faced after he got sunburnt at the G20 summit this weekend after forgetting to slip, slop, slap.

That's got to hurt: Attorney General George Brandis forgot to put on any sunblock at the G20 summit Mr Brandis was meeting welcoming US President Barack Obama to Australia ahead of the G20 conference Social media went into a frenzy over the sunburn, he was also labelled 'Solar Panel Brandis' Mr Obama was greeted by Australia's most high profile political figures when he flew into Brisbane He was branded 'Solar Panel Brandis' by one Twitter user who posted the pictures of the sunburn. Twitter user @tim_rush posted: 'George Brandis' sunburn seems to get worse every time that shot is retweeted'. Another user @jonkudelka posted: 'George Brandis' sunburn just another example of the dangers of solar power'. Mr Brandis was one of the high ranking Australian officials that apparently snubbed Russian President Vladimir Putin, reported Channel 9. But when German Chancellor Angela Merkel's plane arrived on the tarmac five minutes a smiling Mr Brandis and Queensland Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney rushed out to meet her. Daily Mail Australia approached Mr Brandis' office for comment and they are yet to respond. Mr Brandis (left) with Queensland Premier Campbell Newman (right) appeared to have forgotten to put on any sun screen in the 40 degree heat Although Mr Brandis turned up to greet President Obama he did not turn up to welcome Vladimir Putin Mr Brandis greeted German Chancellor Angela Merkel when she arrived in Brisbane Mr Brandis looked to be in deep conversation with Angela Merkel after she stepped off her flight Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe (L) is welcomed by Queensland's Premier Campbell Newman watched by Australia's Attorney-General George Brandis Mr Brandis is the 36th Attorney General and he has represented Queensland since May 2000. The news comes as new figures show Australian teenagers are turning their backs on sunbathing as the figures have dropped from 38 per cent compared to 60 per cent ten years ago. Professor Ian Olver, the Cancer Council's chief executive officer, said this figure had not shown 'significant' change since 2003-04, with the number of teenagers reporting getting sunburnt in 2013-14 dropping only one per cent compared to 10 years ago. He added that although two in three Australians would be diagnosed with skin cancer by age 70, adolescents underestimated their skin cancer risk, with one in two rating their chances of developing skin cancer as 'low'. 'It's wonderful to see teens understanding that a tan isn't the hallmark of health it was once made out to be,' he said. 'However, while most don't actively seek a tan, we do want them to actively protect themselves. 'Skin cancer doesn't have to be an inevitability. Take the recommended sun protection measures and the odds of preventing it are in your favour.'

A man who was diagnosed with an extremely aggressive form of cancer two years ago is now amazingly in remission thanks to a revolutionary treatment that involved receiving an infusion of the virus that causes AIDS. Marshall Jensen of Utah, was one of 30 leukemia patients to undergo a trial treatment at Penn Medicine recently, in which white blood cells are implanted with a harmless form of HIV programmed to target and kill cancer. The 30-year-old married father of one has so far responded well to the treatment and is now cancer-free for the first time in years. Scroll down for video Cancer free: Marshall Jensen's (right) leukemia is in remission after receiving a breakthrough cancer treatment that involved the HIV virus. Pictured above with wife Amanda (left) and their son Kezman (center) The 30-year-old Utah man was one of 30 patients in an experimental trial, who received doses of the deactivated HIV virus, which act as cancer killing fighters in the body. Of those who underwent of the treatment, 23 are still alive and 19 are now in remission Jensen, wife Amanda and their young son Kezman have been travelling the country ever since he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2012, just one year after their marriage, searching for an effective treatment for his cancer. 'They were a young couple. They weren’t married very long. They had a brand new little baby when all of this started,' neighbor Lindsay Wright told KSL. The Jensens didn't find success though until they met Dr Carl June at Penn Medicine. Dr June and his team of physicians have spent two decades working on a breakthrough experimental treatment using the HIV virus. On Thursday, Jensen was welcomed back to his Utah neighborhood, after travelling the U.S. these past two years for treatment Jensen (center) and his wife Amanda (left) are pictured above with Dr Carl June, who led the gene therapy trial at Penn Medicine 'We were calling it our Hail Mary pass,' Marshall Jensen said. 'It felt right. ... We didn't know how we were going to get out there, what we were going to do, but it worked. By God's grace I was able to come back.' On Thursday, a healthier Jensen returned to his neighborhood in Utah to a surprise homecoming celebration. The connection between leukemia and HIV was first discovered in 2006, when an HIV-positive man named Timothy Ray Brown was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. After receiving a bone marrow transplant from a donor with a rare genetic mutation, Brown's cancer went into remission and the HIV disappeared from his system making him the first man to ever be fully cured of the virus. Dr June is now looking to use the treatment to combat other types of cancer. Jensen (right) pictured above with his wife (left) and their son (center) Since then, Dr June and his team have been working vigilantly on developing a HIV-based treatment for leukemia and this October, published a study showing the therapy's success on 30 cancer patients. The patients who received the treatment had billions of T-cells extracted from their body, which were taken to a lab and implanted with deactivated HIV. The 'serial killer' cells are then put back into the body to fight and kill cancer, and remain dormant until the cancer reappears. While the idea of receiving a dose of HIV may seem scary to some, Dr June says there's nothing to fear about the stripped-down virus used in the treatment. 'It's a disabled virus, but it retains the one essential feature of HIV, which is the ability to insert new genes into cells,' Dr June explained. Of the 30 leukemia patients who received the treatment, comprised of five adults and 25 children, 23 are still alive and 19 are in remission. Seven-year-old Emma Whitehead was the first child to receive the treatment in 2012, and has been cancer-free for two years now. Dr June and his team are now looking at using the HIV treatment to attack other forms of cancers, and will be starting trials this summer for pancreatic cancer patients. Seven-year-old Emily Whitehead was the first child who underwent the experimental T-cell treatment in 2012 (left). She is still cancer-free two years later (right)
Marshall Jensen was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2012 and has spent the last two years searching for an effective treatment. He found a solution at Penn Medicine, where he was accepted into a trial to receive an experimental new gene therapy. The treatment involved implanting white blood cells with deactivated HIV and injecting them back in the body to fight off cancer. Of the 30 patients involved in the trial, 23 are still alive and 19 are in remission - like Jensen.

By James Black PUBLISHED: 15:21 EST, 17 December 2012 | UPDATED: 06:23 EST, 18 December 2012 Many students have already registered for the cut price offer on botox Students at the University of Central Lancashire have been offered Botox and other facial enhancements at discount prices as part of the institution's new master's programme in medicine. Feminist campaigners in the student body are outraged by the offer, claiming that the university has failed its duty of care and is promoting unhealthy ideas of beauty and aging among young people at a vulnerable age, Registered students are now able to book appointments for Botox and fillers, lip enhancers, facial peels and laser treatments, all conducted by healthcare professionals who are studying for an MSc at the university, the Huffington Post reports. The service is offered as part of the university's MSc/PGDip in Non-Surgical Facial Aesthetics for Registered Healthcare Professionals. The graduate programme offers a part-time qualification in facial cosmetic enhancements for healtcare professionals wishing to branch out into the a booming industry. A spokesman from the university said: 'Over recent years, the provision of non-surgical facial aesthetic treatments has emerged as a key growth area within healthcare delivery in the United Kingdom. 'UCLan's MSc/PgDip Facial Aesthetics programme is designed to ensure that practising clinicians, be they doctors or dentists, are recognised to be the leading evidence-based practitioners in their field.' The saddest thing about the situation is the revelation from the Dental Clinic, where the procedures will take place, who claimed that a number of students have registered their interest. Heather Lomax, a UCLan student and member of the UCLan Feminist society has spoken of her outrage at learning of the university's offer. She told the Huffington Post's Faye Grima: 'UCLan is a university, and should be offering education and supporting the health and needs of students, not offering Botox, which certainly has its risks. The very idea of it, of students feeling the need to beat the (perfectly natural) aging process, to have perfect skin, makes me feel sick.' The University of Central Lancashire introduced the course to meet demands in a growing industry Ed Farthing, a third-year English studies student also expressed his disgust with the recent proposals. He said: 'Botox and similar treatments epitomise the ever-growing modern day fanaticism with the "perfect self" image, and often enough force users into a never-ending life of constant addictive usage.'

By David Mccormack PUBLISHED: 18:17 EST, 21 January 2014 | UPDATED: 18:28 EST, 21 January 2014 Shelley Bezanson, 28, of Osprey, Florida, is accused of purposefully killing pit bull-mix, Diamond, after the dog's vet refused to euthanize him A woman has been charged with animal cruelty after police claim she strangled her healthy seven-year-old dog to death with its leash. Shelley Bezanson, 28, of Osprey, Florida, is accused of purposefully killing pit bull-mix, Diamond, after the dog's vet refused to euthanize him. According to a police report, the dog died a ‘prolonged, painful and cruel death’. During October and November of 2013, police said Bezanson called her vet multiple times seeking to euthanize Diamond because he was, she insisted, ‘sick and old’. The vet refused, because Diamond was healthy, and suggested Bezanson take him to the humane society if she didn’t want him. Instead Bezanson choose to take matters into her own hands and end her poor pet’s life. On Nov. 14, she allegedly strangled Diamond using his leash and even turned up the music in her apartment so her neighbors wouldn’t hear his screams. A tip led Venice Police Department investigators to Bezanson, who tried to bury the animal at her mother's Venice home. She apparently told investigators: ‘I promised Diamond we would be together until the end, and this was the end.’ Beranson also told police that she would have been evicted if she did not get rid of Diamond, but did not want anyone else to have the dog, reports the Herald Tribune. Beranson told police she would have been evicted if she did not get rid of Diamond, but did not want anyone else to have the dog She was arrested and charged with animal cruelty on Friday. She is being held at the Sarasota County Jail on $25,000 bond. Sarasota County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Wendy Rose called the incident a ‘horrible story - particularly when you have so many willing rescue groups to help take the dog and give it a forever home.’ Bezanson also owned a kitten and a domesticated rat when she was arrested. In an interview with police, she allegedly added that she plans to adopt another dog.

Royal Mail were blasted today after they banned deliveries to more than 100 residents on a street following health and safety fears - over wonky paving slabs. Residents on the Victorian estate in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, are now forced to make a four-mile round trip collect their letters and parcels from a central depot. Royal Mail postmen are refusing to deliver to The Villas after it became a no-go zone due to 'a number of incidents involving colleagues falling and slipping'. Resident Catherine Burgass said the move by Royal Mail has 'annoyed' all of the residents at The Villas Yesterday home-owners on the road, which is not council-maintained as it is privately run by the residents' association, said their mail had been delivered without a problem for 150 years and slammed Royal Mail for not giving them any warning. The estate's residents' association has asked Royal Mail to identify which areas need repairing but say it would cost tens of thousands of pounds to tarmac the entire stretch. Elderly resident Alfred Poole, 79, branded the move 'barmy'. He said: 'Its health and safety gone mad. I'm an old man and if I can manage the paving slabs, I'm sure the postman can. 'I haven't got a car and I can't walk four miles to fetch my post. It's just ridiculous.' Royal Mail say they suspended deliveries to the street for health and safety reasons following 'incidents' Julian Wilshaw, 38, who lives with his partner Sarah and daughter Jessica, added: 'It came out of the blue. 'We had heard nothing at all about it and then the letter came through. 'We weren't even warned or informed there was an issue, so we could maybe try to help put any issues right. 'Royal Mail deliver to the likes of the Isle of Skye and the Hebrides - we're just The Villas, in Stoke. 'My daughter has hip problems and we're waiting on a letter from the hospital. 'I have sympathy for the postmen if they've hurt themselves, but we don't know what the problem is, and Royal Mail have been delivering to us for years. 'It's a massive inconvenience for all the residents, especially the more elderly people living here.' A total of 40 households and over 100 residents have been affected by the ban. Ms Burgass said the pavement has been in the same condition since she moved in 15 years ago Martin Parker, 52, secretary of The Villas Residents' Association, said: 'The letter said one postman had injured themselves a month ago, and we were told it happened again a couple of days before the letter was sent. 'No-one had been consulted about any problems with the state of the pavements and I'm surprised they hadn't bothered to consult with us. 'It would have been sensible for them to speak to us, and it's bizarre Royal Mail has taken this rather extreme stance. 'The road is not slippery, our bins are emptied and post had been delivered here for a very long time. 'Luckily, I have a car and I'm physically fit, but there are quite a few elderly residents and there's the care home here too. 'Also, no-one seems to be able to contact the phone number attached with the letter.' Doug Burnham, 49, who has lived on The Villas for 15 years, added: 'It's a very difficult situation. I can't see how our neighbourhood differs from any other neighbourhood. Residents have slammed Royal Mail for not giving them any warning about the cancellation of the service 'Sweeping and cleaning is something we do as often as possible. We also tackle things like potholes, drainage issues and fly-tipping. 'We are open to discussions. 'We would be willing to pay if there were particularly problematic areas and we do that anyway, but obviously we couldn't do the entirety of the paving.' Resident Catherine Burgass, 47, added: 'I was extremely surprised we had not had any prior warning. 'The pavement has been in the same condition since I moved in 15 years ago. 'Everybody's annoyed about it.' A Royal Mail spokesperson said: 'We have taken the decision to suspend deliveries to a small number of addresses after a number of incidents involving colleagues falling and slipping. 'Our priority is the safety of our people and we apologise to customers.'
Royal Mail say they have suspended deliveries after 'a number of incidents' which saw delivery drivers fall and slip on the private Victorian road. But residents say post has been delivered for 150 years with no issues. Residents claim they had no warning about the cancellation of the service. A total of 40 households and more than 100 residents are affected by the ban.

By Emily Allen Last updated at 6:33 PM on 7th September 2011 Anthony Lloyd, 17, was found by police with his pockets 'bulging' with stolen cigarettes and jewellery A teenage looter who took part in the Manchester riots lied in court about being an Olympic hopeful in a bid to avoid jail. Anthony Lloyd, 17, who was caught with pockets bulging with jewellery and cigarettes during the riots in Manchester on August 9, was jailed for eight months yesterday. But now he could now be hauled back into the dock after falsely claiming he was a member of the British judo team in a desperate plea for leniency. A letter was even presented to the judge at Manchester Magistrates Court backing up the claim. Lloyd had managed to convince his unwitting legal team he was a promising judo star. His defence lawyer Estelle Parkhouse told the court: 'A custodial sentence would impair his prospects with the squad and being part of the Olympics.' But it has been discovered Lloyd has never performed for Great Britain at any level. Bosses at the British Judo Association said that while he is a member of a local club he is 'a million miles away' from being anywhere near the national squad. A spokesman said: 'Mr Lloyd has never represented us at any level and it's wrong for anyone to describe him as an Olympic hopeful. 'He represents a club but has never been in any GB trials or anywhere near any of our squads.' It is understood the case could now be re-opened if the court feels it has been misled. Lloyd may now face further charges of perjury should judges decide to bring him back into the dock. Loyd was sentenced to eight months' detention and training for each count, to serve concurrently at Manchester Youth Court He could also be hauled before Crown Court if the offence is considered serious enough. Lloyd, of Audenshaw, was stopped by police at 9.30pm at the height of the rioting in Manchester. Officers found him carrying £66 worth of cigarettes stolen from a looted newsagents and a collection of costume jewellery which he said he had picked up off the floor. During the case Lloyd's lawyer Estelle Parkhouse said Lloyd was part of the British Judo team and was returning from training that Tuesday night when he heard about the disorder and ventured into the city centre. She said he took jewellery that he had seen on the street and knew it had been stolen. She said it was his intention to give it to his girlfriend. Lloyd's parents and brother were in court to hear District Judge Jonathan Taaffe describe the case as 'most tragic'. The judge said he accepted Lloyd had led a 'blameless existence' and had 'an excellent future and was a talented sportsman'. But after reading glowing references the judge told him: 'It is my duty to impose a custodial sentence in this matter. 'The public have to be aware that people who choose to become involved in large scale public disorder, rioting and looting, will be severely punished. 'On this night the centre of Manchester and Salford resembled a battlefield and the public throughout the country were shocked and sickened by what they saw.' Lloyd, who burst into tears as the sentence was read out, said he had been stupid and had gone into the city out of curiosity. After the hearing Ms Parkhouse issued a statement on his behalf, saying: 'I am sincerely remorseful for my actions and would do anything to give back to the community what I have taken from them.' It is understood attempts to check the bogus claim were made by the defence team. But they were unable to contact the GB team as they were in action abroad. Lloyd's social worker father declined to comment.
British Judo Association admit he was a member of a local club but 'a million miles' from the national squad.

Los Angeles (CNN) -- A Fullerton, California, police officer charged with second-degree murder in the beating death of a mentally ill homeless man was released from jail Thursday after posting a bond in lieu of $1 million bail, the Orange County Sheriff's Department spokesman said. Manuel Ramos, 37, a 10-year veteran of the Fullerton Police Department, is also charged with involuntary manslaughter in the July death of Kelly Thomas, 37. Ramos' family and friends raised the $100,000 for the bond -- which typically is 10% of the bail -- to secure his release from custody, said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County sheriff. Ramos was released shortly after midnight Thursday, Amormino said. "By the time they do the paperwork and things of that nature, many times it's that late in the morning," Amormino told CNN. Thomas' father, Ron, 55, of Cypress, California, objected to Ramos' release and said Ramos should have been held without bail. "I don't want him released because he brutally murdered my son," said Thomas, who's a safety consultant for the construction industry. He was an Army Ranger in special ops for 10 years; a martial arts master, he now teaches hand-to-hand combat to Marines going to Iraq and Afghanistan, he said. Also charged in the Thomas case is Cpl. Jay Patrick Cicinelli, who is charged with involuntary manslaughter and felony use of excessive force. He was released last week on $25,000 bail. Both officers have pleaded not guilty to the charges. The two men are among six Fullerton police officers -- all men -- who were involved in the Thomas arrest and have been placed on involuntary, paid administrative leave. The FBI is also investigating the incident for civil rights violations. Ron Thomas, the father, said Thursday he wants criminal charges against each of the other four officers. "Even if he just stood there and did absolutely nothing, that's what he should be charged with. He didn't prevent my son's death," Thomas said. The Orange County district attorney's office said this month that no charges were filed against the other four because "the evidence does not show knowing participation in an unlawful act on the part of these officers." Kelly Thomas, a 37-year-old homeless man with schizophrenia, was beaten by police during an altercation July 5 and died five days later. The case drew widespread attention to the police department of Fullerton, about 25 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles. Since then, two other allegations of brutality at the hands of city police have surfaced, both regarding unrelated arrests in 2010. District Attorney Tony Rackauckas and fellow prosecutors viewed 16 minutes of bus depot surveillance video showing what happened in the Thomas case, Rackauckas has said. Thomas suffered brain injuries, facial fractures, rib fractures, and extensive bruising and abrasions, the prosecutor's office said. The Orange County coroner listed his manner of death as a homicide and said he died after having his chest compressed, leaving him unable to breathe. Ramos had made initial contact with Thomas -- whom he knew as a "homeless drifter" -- after police received a call about a homeless man looking in car windows and pulling on handles of parked cars, Rackauckas said. "He lifted his fists to Kelly Thomas and he said, 'You see my fist? Now they're getting to ready to F you up,' " Rackauckas said, using "F" instead of the full profanity. The district attorney said Ramos' conduct was unacceptable and "not protecting and serving" the public. "Ramos had to know that he was creating a situation where Kelly Thomas feared for his life and was struggling to get away from an armed officer who was going to 'F him up,'" Rackauckas said. Cicinelli arrived at the scene later. He is accused of using excessive force when he allegedly assaulted and beat Thomas, including using the front end of his Taser to hit the victim on the head and face eight times while the man was pinned to the ground by other officers. At that point, Thomas was making no audible sounds, indicating that he was "down and seriously injured," the prosecutor's office said. CNN's Stella Chan contributed to this report.
NEW: Father of alleged murder victim objects to release from jail. Family and friends of Officer Manuel Ramos help raise money to free him. Ramos and his supporters pay $100,000 for a bond in lieu of bail. Second officer charged in homeless man's death is free on $25,000 bail.

By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 08:31 EST, 23 September 2012 | UPDATED: 08:34 EST, 23 September 2012 The multimillion-dollar mansion which was used as a bolthole by John Edwards' mistress while he ran for the White House has been put on the market. The five-bedroom home which sits on three acres in an exclusive area of Aspen, Colorado, is on the market for $19.95million. The stunning property belonged to lawyer Fred Baron, a major Democratic party donator, who allowed Hunter the run of his home during the 2008 presidential race. Hiding out in style: The Aspen mansion where John Edwards' mistress Rielle Hunter was ensconced during the 2008 presidential campaign has been put on the market for $20million Making a splash: The swimming pool at the $20million holiday home where John Edwards hid his mistress Rielle Hunter in 2008 The property boasts five full bathrooms, three half baths, multiple fireplaces and a gourmet kitchen with breakfast nook. There is also his-and-her offices, a library, billiards room, indoor pool with a hot tub, spa, sauna, gym and full-size racquetball court. The home is packed with millions of dollars in art, furniture, furnishings and antiques, according to Curbed.com The stone mansion was built in 1994 from plans by renowned architect Robert A.M. Stern who has also worked on projects including the revamp of New York's theater district on 42nd street and multiple hotels for Disney. The 14,000 sq ft holiday home sits on Starwood Drive in Aspen and has breathtaking views across the exclusive mountain ski resort. Hunter was ensconced at the mansion, along with her minders, during the 2008 election campaign while she was pregnant with Edwards' love child. Living it up: The 13,000 square foot property was built in 1994 by renowned architect Robert Stern Out in the open: Following the end of Edwards' trial, where he was acquitted of accepting illegal campaign contributions, Hunter (left) wrote a memoir about her affair Luxury: The chateau-style home was designed by renowned architect Robert Stern and sits on the exclusive Starwood Drive in Aspen, Colorado Plush: One of the five bedrooms at the estate where John Edwards' mistress was hidden during the 2008 presidential campaign The one-time presidential candidate was acquitted in June after a six-week federal trial over the improper use of campaign funds. Jurors acquitted Edwards on one count of accepting illegal campaign contributions and deadlocked on five other felony counts so the judge declared a mistrial. Edwards was accused of masterminding a scheme to use $1million in secret payments from two wealthy political donors to hide his mistress and their lovechild as he sought the White House in 2008. Baron, who died in 2008, was connected with the trial and allegedly provided money for Hunter and left a private jet at her disposal. The mansion is being sold by Baron's widow Lisa Blue, also a lawyer. Hunter released a memoir What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter, and Me, which was published shortly after he was acquitted in a North Carolina court. It was poorly received, selling just 6,000 copies despite Hunter's glut of media coverage and extensive interviews. Opulent: The 13,000 square foot property is owned by the late lawyer Fred Baron, a major Democrat party donator Games: The billiards room at the home where Hunter passed the hours as her lover postured on the presidential campaign trail with his wife and children Steamy: One of the luxury bathrooms at the property featuring a steam room and sauna John Edwards emerged from the court house earlier this year saying that he was grateful to all of his children - including his 'precious Quinn' - the child from his affair with Ms Hunter. The trial exposed a sordid sex scandal that unfolded while Edwards' wife Elizabeth was dying of cancer but prosecutors couldn't convince jurors that he had masterminded a $1 million cover-up of his affair. Elizabeth Edwards died of cancer in December 2010. John Edwards met Ms Hunter, now 48, when she came to work as a video-grapher for his 2004 presidential campaign. The pair started a romantic relationship while they were on the road. After the pair began their romantic liaison, she fell pregnant and agreed with the plan to have Edwards’ long-time aide Andrew Young claim paternity in an effort to keep Edwards’ political prospects alive.

MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- For five years, the horrible memory has lingered in the minds of Madrid's commuters, quietly riding their trains into the heart of the city. The pain is easing, but it's a nagging ache just the same. The rush-hour train bombings killed 191 people and wounded 1,800 others. It was March 11, 2004, during morning rush hour, that terrorists armed with powerful bombs boarded these same commuter train lines, unleashing an onslaught that killed 191 people and wounded 1,800 others. The attacks are the deadliest in Europe since the rise of al Qaeda. More than a year later on July 7, 2005, terrorists would stage bombings on the London transit system that killed 52 people and wounded hundreds more. The explosives were left on the Spanish trains in sports bags and backpacks -- sometimes placed under seats -- court documents say. The terrorists got off at various stations down the line, before cell-phone timers detonated 10 bombs in quick succession on four trains at three stations. Police dismantled another bomb that didn't explode. It provided vital clues that led to arrests. Eighteen people, mostly Islamic militants, have been convicted in the attacks. Watch more on the anniversary Juan Carlos Garcia, an engineer who took the train later that same day, said he knows a couple whose daughter died in the attacks. "It was very tough, especially knowing it could have been you," Garcia said. "Now, you remember it, but not the same as when it just happened." Beata Sadecka, a regular commuter, says she rides cautiously. "Every day, when I get on the train, I always ride in the last car," Sadecka said. "I don't know why, for safety," she added, not quite sure of her motives. On one train, the first explosion was in a rear car and, as people ran forward to get away, they were hit by explosions in the middle cars, investigators have said. "People remember the March 11th attacks," said Vicente Jimenez, a deputy editor with El Pais newspaper, "and while conscious that the threat continues, you have to continue with your life." Memorial observations were scheduled throughout the day, including five minutes of silence for the victims. King Juan Carlos and Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero were not taking part in the public events. A victims group called their non-participation a slight. But on this fifth anniversary, most commuters are just going about their business, with that nagging ache still lingering.
Spain commemorates fifth anniversary of Madrid train bombings. March 11, 2004, attacks killed 191 people and wounded 1,800. Explosives were left on the Spanish trains in sports bags and backpacks.

By Daily Mail Reporter and Associated Press Reporter PUBLISHED: 09:41 EST, 18 February 2013 | UPDATED: 09:41 EST, 18 February 2013 Terrorist: Ramzi Yousef is serving a life sentence at the ADX supermax prison in Florence, Colorado, for masterminding the 1993 World Trade Center bombing The convicted terrorist who planned and carried out the 1993 World Trade Center bombing - who has been in isolation for more than a decade - has filed a lawsuit to end his solitary confinement. Ramzi Yousef, 45, has been imprisoned since his capture in Pakistan in 1995 - two years after he killed six people and injured 1,000 others after detonating explosives beneath the North Tower. Since the September 11 attacks, the 45-year-old Pakistani national has been in solitary confinement in a 7-foot-by-11-foot cell at the federal ADX supermax prison in Colorado, known as 'the Alcatraz of the Rockies.' Yousef says that despite good behavior while behind bars, he remains in solitary solely because he is a terrorist - which he claims is a violation of his due process rights. In a letter to the prison's warden obtained by the Los Angeles Times, Yousef says: 'I request an immediate end to my solitary confinement and ask to be in a unit in an open prison environment where inmates are allowed outside their cells for no less than 14 hours a day.' 'I have been in solitary confinement in the U.S. since February 8, 1995, with no end in sight... I further ask not to be in handcuffs or leg irons when moved outside my cell.' The Times reports that Yousef doesn't even see the prison's guards, who push his meals through a small slot between two steel doors. The only other inmate within the sound of his voice is reportedly a man who has killed others while incarcerated. In August, Yousef's attorney Bernard Kleinman said his client wanted out of solitary because he was 'lonely' - and claimed that despite the World Trade Center attack, the 1994 bombing of a Philippine jet, a plot to kill Pope John Paul II and other plots - Yousef is 'no longer a threat.' Isolation: Since the September 11 attacks, Yousefl has been in solitary confinement in a 7-foot-by-11-foot cell at the federal ADX supermax prison in Colorado, which is known as 'the Alcatraz of the Rockies' Damage: This is the hole that was blown in the basement of the World Trade Center by the truck bomb Yousef detonated Catastrophic: Yousef had hoped the bomb blast would collapse the one tower into the other and bring both crumbling down 'I think it's just plain unfair,' Kleinman said outside court at the time. 'Most of the terrorists he knew are either dead or in jail.' Yousef was sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted in the World Trade Center attack, as well as a plot to bomb 12 American airliners over the Far East. At his 1998 sentencing, Yousef defiantly proclaimed: 'Yes, I am a terrorist and am proud of it.' His uncle is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the September 11 terror atrocities that destroyed the World Trade Center towers and left nearly 3,000 people dead. Wounded: More than 1,000 people were injured in the World Trade Center attack Terrorist: Ramzi Yousef bragged that he was a terrorist at his sentencing in 1998. Now he says he's lonely He fled to the Middle East the night of the bombing and was captured two years later in Pakistan, where he was turned over to the FBI. He now lives in a 7-foot by 11-foot cell with a radio, a television, a desk, a toilet and a shower, Kleinman said. Since 1997, he has been subjected to special administrative measures reserved for prisoners who are believed to be a continuing threat to the country. The restrictions prevent Yousef from communicating with other prisoners and only allow him to meet with his lawyer, Kleinman said. For those visits, Yousef is shackled and forced to communicate through Plexiglass. The prison is also home to Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, Oklahoma City bombing co-conspirator Terry Nicholas, 'underwear bomber' Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and 'shoe bomber' Richard Reid. Investigation: Police search the parking garage beneath the North Tower of the World Trade Center, after the bombing .
Ramzi Yousef was the mastermind of the terrorist attack that killed six people and injured 1,000 others. He has been held in solitary confinement at the federal Supermax prison since the September 11 attacks. His lawyer says he's no longer a threat.

(CNN)In Paris on Thursday, fashion designer Rick Owens gave audiences quite a show when he sent male models down the runway wearing clothes with peepholes that offered a glimpse of the guys' formerly private parts. "Nudity is the most simple and primal gesture -- it packs a punch," Owens said of his decision to have his models bare all. "It's powerful. ... Who else can really get away with this stuff? It's a corporate world!" The looks were simply for shock and awe and the attention such reactions generate -- after all, they can't be worn out in public and won't be sold in stores. But let's be honest: Were we even shocked? After all, female models have been asked to sashay down runways in states of near nakedness for years. Meanwhile, more and more films are featuring full frontal male nudity. There was Michael Fassbender in "Shame," of course. And who can forget the uproar over the cameo of Ben Affleck's penis in "Gone Girl," albeit so brief one had to know the precise moment to look for it? And if we've seen Ben Affleck's penis, who cares about some male model's? Of course, women have been going full frontal in films for years. Perhaps the onslaught of nakedness is a sign that public nudity is becoming an equal opportunity endeavor; that women are no longer required to do all the showing. That's not a bad thing. Maybe the "Free the Nipple" people are finally getting their way, and women will be able to parade topless around town, or at the gym, or wherever they please, without stares or stigma (or arrest), as men have done for ages. More likely, it's a clear sign that we're a culture so overexposed that we've got no other choice but to up the stakes at every turn. We are becoming -- have become -- immune to that which was previously surprising/revolting/ awe-inspiring. It's amazing how quickly Lady Gaga went from outre to passe, isn't it? Meanwhile, Madonna is a faint middle-aged voice from the past who in a time long ago made news with pointy bras -- positively puritanical compared to the starlets of today. Consider their norms: Going commando -- that's "without underwear," because, yes, there's even a phrase for it. Giving birth on TV. Posing naked for mainstream magazines. The Kardashian sisters spent the fall one-upping each other -- first Kim's naked backside on the cover of Paper (a sight credited with "breaking the Internet") and then Kourtney's naked pregnant belly (and backside) online at DuJour, because if one reality sister does it, so, too, must the other. Miley Cyrus, meanwhile, continues to one-up herself, graduating from foam fingers and lewd gestures to her recent full frontal magazine spread in V magazine, the release of which she celebrated with a crude shoutout on social media. But what's next? What does she, or any of these women, do for an encore? Where does a jaded culture go from here for kicks? The envelope has already been pushed beyond what we once thought were the limits. What is left? Perhaps they'll think of something. You just know those "Most Shocking" shows are trying to figure out how to show somebody actually die. You know that some starlet on the verge will go beyond a private sex tape (yawn) to arrange to be caught in the act. Or maybe we'll grow up and become more European in our sensibilities, and react less like middle school boys at the sight of a breast. Maybe we'll learn that hitting bottom culturally reveals a whole new bottom underneath. Whatever the impetus, the bottom is in sight. After all, being outrageous today is hard work, and only getting harder. The payoff, meanwhile, has nowhere to go but down.
Peggy Drexler: Male models at Rick Owens' Paris runway show wore clothes that exposed their penises. She says as we become harder to shock, the culture keeps going lower and lower. The bottom is in sight.

(CNN) -- With thousands of jobs lost in the manufacturing sector and some of the highest unemployment rates in the country, the Midwest has taken an especially hard hit during this economic recession. Jobs are available in Wisconsin's brewing industry, according to CNN affiliate WKOW. In December, the Midwest posted the second-highest regional unemployment rate in the country, at 7.5 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Michigan, Indiana and Illinois all were in the top five states for total job losses. But, as CNN's affiliate stations report, there are some bright spots in the picture these days for Midwestern job seekers. Nursing, brewing and transportation promise to bring new jobs to the region. And, like elsewhere, government jobs have taken on a new air of stability in part because of the economic stimulus package. Nursing Dawn Jarvis, of Indiana, became tired of the ups and downs of the real estate industry. So she decided to seek a career in nursing. "It doesn't dry up like real estate," she told CNN affiliate WRTV, of Indianapolis. "You can take it with you wherever you go." The station reports that nurses on average make upwards of $30 per hour. As America's population continues to age, health care is expected to be in increasing demand. The Indiana Health Care Association told WRTV that Indiana has the greatest need for nurses of any state. "We have the highest vacancy rate for long-term care RNs [registered nurses] in the country, and it's significantly higher than other states," association president Stephen Smith told the station. "One of the top professions over the next 20 years is going to be nursing and the health care field in general because of the aging of the population." Read more about nurses in Indiana from WRTV Brewing If you ever wondered what will happen to Wisconsin's brewing industry in this sober economy, Carol Nolen has a question for you: "What better thing to do than come home at the end of the day and enjoy a beer?" the president of Capitol Brewery asked CNN member station WKOW. And for a person coming home at the end of a long day of job searching, perhaps even more so. The brewing industry is doing well as others tank, WKOW reports. All of the news from the industry isn't sterling. Some brewery stocks are down on the year, including those of SABMiller, the company that brews Miller products, the station says. But overall, WKOW reports that breweries are making money and keeping people employed. Read more on the brewing industry from WKOW Transportation Being a school bus driver may not be the sexiest of jobs in the world. But it's better than being unemployed, Ron Reynolds told WISC in Madison, Wisconsin. Driving schools in the area are full, and transportation companies, which normally have trouble filling their rosters, are awash with interest from applicants who seem to be more qualified than in years past, the station reports. Jerry Klabacka, director of Diesel Truck Driving School, told WISC that the industry is hiring truck drivers now, but that could change if companies slow their shipments of goods. The transportation industry in Madison "is recession-proof in the standpoint that it always needs people," he said. "However, when production goes down in this country, so does freight." For now, WISC reports that the local transportation sector in the area is seeing "unprecedented growth." Read more from WISC Government Damian Givens attended a recent job fair hosted by the U.S. Census Bureau in Greenwood, Indiana. He told WRTV that it's "refreshing" to know that someone is offering jobs. The bureau, which takes a detailed survey of the American public every 10 years, plans to hire 900 people in the area by April 1, and another 1,000 employees next year, the station reports. All of those jobs pertain to the bureau's 2010 survey. Workers will be paid between $11 and $13 an hour, WRTV says. Since the turnout at the jobs event in late February wasn't high, the Census Bureau is still expecting applicants. Watch a WRTV video from the jobs event "We think there will be a lot more people, because jobs are hard to come by -- and the census is going to offer that opportunity for people," Dennis Sturdevant, of the Census Bureau, told WRTV. Chocolate In Anderson, Indiana, the chocolate maker Nestle is getting headlines for its decision to take a manufacturing plant back up to full capacity this week. "The plant, which makes and distributes Nesquik and Coffee-Mate, has added hundreds of new jobs to a community desperately in need of positive economic news," WRTV reports. Nestle announced it would expand the plant by 880,000 square feet and had 100 more jobs, the station says. Originally, the chocolate maker had planned to add 300 jobs. Indiana's governor touted the 100-job expansion as a success in hard times. See a photo of the plant and read more from WRTV "In a worldwide recession, this company is growing ... is succeeding against all those odds," Gov. Mitch Daniels said during a tour of the plant, according to WRTV.
The Midwest has been hit hard in the recession, but some jobs are available. CNN affiliates: Offbeat industries like brewing and chocolate making are faring well. Nursing and health care are also seen as stable. WRTV: The Census Bureau, which recently hosted a job fair, is hiring in Indiana.

Iago Aspas failed to net a single goal in the Premier League last season but the Liverpool misfit scored a four-minute hat-trick for Sevilla in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night. The La Liga side won 5-1 against second-tier Sabadell to complete an 11-2 aggregate score and Aspas found the net three times in a matter of moments in the second half. The 27-year-old, who is currently on loan from Brendan Rodgers' side, also scored a treble in the first leg of the round of 32 clash to take his tally for the tie to six. Sevilla striker Iago Aspas (right) fights for the ball with defender Marti Crespi (left) of Sabadell Aspas is congratulated by his team-mates after finding the net in the second half of the Copa del Rey clash Liverpool have struggled for goals this season after losing top scorer Luis Suarez in the summer, before Daniel Sturridge was struck down by injury. And Aspas's goalscoring exploits may just have Liverpool boss Rodgers checking the Spaniard's contract for a recall option. Barcelona player Gerard Deulofeu, who spent last season on loan at Everton, also got his name on the scoresheet as Sevilla progressed to the last 16.
Iago Aspas joined Liverpool from in 2013 but failed to make an impact. He didn't register a goal in 14 league appearances for Liverpool. The 27-year-old scored a hat-trick in just four minutes for Sevilla.

By Suzannah Hills PUBLISHED: 06:41 EST, 22 February 2013 | UPDATED: 12:10 EST, 22 February 2013 A mother-of-six was hailed a hero today after she dragged an unconscious neighbour from his £140,000 Bentley convertible as it exploded into a huge fireball. Karen Buckland, 39, put 'her life on the line' to save the 49-year driver after she found him slumped at the wheel at the silver GTC supercar as it was bursting into flames on his driveway. Despite the obvious danger, Mrs Buckland opened the driver's side door of the blazing vehicle then used all of her strength to hoist him to safety. As she did so the fire ripped through the rest of the luxury vehicle - leaving it a burnt out wreck. Wreckage: Karen Buckland dragged her neighbour from his £140,000 Bentley convertible as it exploded in to flames on his driveway in Marple, near Stockport, Manchester Brave: Mother-of-six Karen Buckland has been commended for her bravery after putting her 'life on the line' to save her neighbour The driver - a wealthy accountant with three children - was later treated in hospital for the effects of smoke inhalation but made a good recovery. He has moved out of the neighbourhood. Mrs Buckland was today commended for her bravery by Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service. Mrs Buckland, from Marple, near Stockport, said: 'I actually feel guilty thinking about how I could have saved him sooner and stopped his car exploding. We weren't that friendly, otherwise I would have popped over to say hello earlier.' Lucky escape: Mrs Buckland managed to drag the 49-year-old man to safety just moment before the entire car went up in flames Quick thinking: Mrs Buckland could smell electrics burning in her kitchen and heard a huge bang. She then found her neighbour unconscious in his car with the engine compartment on fire She added: 'My husband nearly had to drag me to the awards ceremony - frankly I didn't know what the fuss was about. I was overwhelmed when I found out the whole thing had been put on especially for me. 'The fact is my 16-year-old our daughter Morgan was there too and she was brilliant, taking all the information from the control room and a neighbour helped as well - and the crews were obviously also very good. Lifesaver: Karen Buckland grabbed her neighbour under his arms and dragged him away from the car 'I was so touched and lost for words, all I could say was that these fire fighters do what I did every day - they are the real heroes in my opinion.' The incident occurred when Mrs Buckland, who works as a director of enrichment at a local grammar school came home from work and and after dinner realised she could smell burning. Mrs Buckland, who lives with property developer husband Eain, 52, said: 'Eain was still at work, so Morgan and I were watching television. 'I went to fetch something from the kitchen and smelt an electrical burning smell. I checked on the tumble drier and then shouted upstairs to our friend, who is staying with us, if he knew. 'He told me the man next door, who was still sat in his car, had been revving it. I went to the front door and there was a huge bang. The front of his Bentley was on fire and the flames were spreading fast. 'He was sat behind the wheel with his head facing down and the flames were coming through the windscreen.' With the flames towering above the car and spreading up the walls of the house - burning the ivy and causing the windows to crack - all Mrs Buckland could think about was rescuing the man before he burned to death. She said: 'I didn't reason, I just did it. I didn't think about myself or anything else; it's all a bit of a blur but I managed to get him. As I went out, the car exploded and I just thought I had to get him out of there.' Mrs Buckland grabbed the man under the arms and pulled him from danger while her daughter Morgan called 999 and asked for help. Morgan took instructions from the GMFRS Control Room and crews from Marple and Offerton fire stations arrived shortly after and tackled the blaze and took over from Karen and gave first aid to the man. Presentation: Karen Buckland being presented with a County Fire Officer's Commendation with her husband Eain her daughter Morgan and Chief Officer Steve McGuirk Mrs Buckland said: 'As he lay on the ground unconscious, he looked in a bad way - he was singed, covered in smoke and foaming and gurgling from the mouth. That image is hard to forget. 'Even now I drive up to our house, I can spot where the tiles have been replaced in next door's driveway because of the damage - and what happens comes flooding back. It's a constant reminder. Well-deserved: Karen Buckland pictured holding her award next to her proud daughter Morgan 'It wasn't until later and I saw the damage to the car that I realised how bad the fire was. 'Morgan had some flashbacks, but apart from that we've been okay - we're just happy he's alive. 'I think it would have been much more difficult for us if the outcome had not been a good one. 'It's so fortunate that I went out exactly when I did, it would have been very difficult to get to him. 'I was meant to be there, I was meant to save him - if it had been another minute, it would have been a very different story. 'I didn't think about the danger to me - you do whatever you can to help someone survive and not think about the consequences for yourself. 'The fire also made me understand just how fantastic my daughter is and how calm she can be in a crisis.' Inquiries revealed the accidental blaze had been caused by an 'over revving' of the car's engine. County Fire Officer Steve McGuirk said: 'It is without doubt in the minds of all those emergency service personnel who attended the incident on the day that, had Karen not displayed the utmost bravery and ignored the risk to her own life, the man would most certainly have lost his. 'Karen put her life on the line - watched by her family - to save this man and let there be no underestimation of the courage and strength of character that such actions take.' Completely destroyed: The £140,000 Bentley is now a complete wreck after the explosion .

(CNN) -- There is a phrase that has long been used in discussing nuclear warfare: Mutual assured destruction. What it means is that if various enemies develop and use the most powerful and harmful weapons available, everyone will lose. Everyone will die. National politics is not literal warfare, although its practitioners like to use the language of combat: War rooms. Battleground states. Attack ads. And as the political world shifts its focus from one national convention to the other, a sentiment has been building that this year's presidential campaign may turn out to be the dirtiest ever. You've already seen it in the wall-to-wall television commercials during the primary season; with the fall campaign shifting into overdrive, you can expect the tone of the advertising to make sewage seem pristine by comparison. As Peggy Noonan wrote in The Wall Street Journal: "With all the PAC money floating around, we've entered the Golden Age of mudslinging." It's not that the candidates are incapable of high-mindedness; they are extraordinarily bright. But in recent years the mantra of high-octane campaigns has been that below-the-belt tactics work, and the rationalization has been that a candidate can't accomplish anything worthy if he or she doesn't get elected in the first place. Jim Rutenberg, in The New York Times, under the headline "The Lowest Common Denominator and the 2012 Race for President," wrote last month: "The thinking was that the two presidential candidates, both with Harvard degrees, would finally use their intellectual prowess to discuss the nation's challenges seriously." That, he wrote, is looking like an unrealistic expectation, and thus "Strategists on both sides are pondering which campaign is best served by the vitriol." From time to time there are public calls for a truce in the invective. It never seems to stick. Carol E. Lee, writing in The Wall Street Journal: "Neither side shows any signs of curtailing the negativity. ... One effect of such early negativity is that both candidates figure to be battered by November, and voters could become fatigued earlier." Why does this matter? With politics more of a spectator sport than ever, what is the real harm in its devolving into an only slightly more refined version of mud wrestling? The harm is that it's a difficult shift to go from mud wrestler to statesman once the votes are counted. The metaphorical eye-gouging and groin-kicking of take-no-prisoners campaigns may be effective in grabbing voters' attention -- increasingly, watching a presidential campaign play out is like slowing down to gape at a particularly ugly auto accident. But there are indications that the voters are getting wise to the game, and becoming disillusioned with it. In a front-page story in USA Today before the conventions began, Susan Page reported that a USA Today/Gallup Poll "finds Americans taking a decidedly more negative view of the presidential candidates and the tenor of their campaigns than they did four years ago." Some of the findings of the poll: Voters are critical of both candidates for making unfair attacks on each other. To an extent not seen in at least the last six election seasons, voters say that they view both the Republican and Democratic parties unfavorably. When, in 2008, potential voters were asked if both candidates would make good presidents, 25% said yes. This year, asked the same question, only 12% said yes. And that is the danger of mutual assured destruction, politics-style. In warfare, the hoped-for impact of the knowledge that either side could annihilate the other was to preserve a state of peace, however strained or uneasy -- it was, and is, a doctrine of deterrence. In politics, it doesn't seem to inhibit the combatants. A willingness to use any means to win an election will inevitably, in the end, produce a president. But then the president will have to lead a nation that has turned darkly cynical about the entire process. There is a publication that has none of the glitz or dinner-party cachet of the national newspapers or television news networks, but it reaches an audience that dwarfs theirs. The publication is the AARP Bulletin -- circulation 22 million -- and its editor, Jim Toedtman, recently wrote an editorial that puts all of this in measured perspective. Under the headline "Leaders, Try Greatness, Not Meanness," Toedtman said that strategists for the opposing sides are displaying "no interest in compromise," and quoted Allegheny College President James H. Mullen Jr. in characterizing the current process as "a disgraceful stew of invective ... a continuing contest in which each side of the partisan divide sees itself as right and the other as evil, uncaring or, worst of all, unpatriotic." Does it have to be this way? The editorial recalls John Adams, who "could just as easily have been talking about today when he wrote in 1776 of his fears that the Continental Congress' decisions would be dictated 'by noise, not sense; by meanness, not greatness; by ignorance, not learning; by contracted hearts, not large souls.'" Adams wrote, "There must be decency and respect and veneration introduced for persons of authority of every rank or we are undone. In popular government, this is our only way.'" When the country loses that, it loses something essential. Just what is it that we are throwing away? Toedtman's editorial concludes: "Decency, respect and veneration produced compromise and a foundation that has endured for 236 years. We are surrounded by noise, meanness and ignorance. The measure for our leaders must be their ability to rediscover that proven formula of sense, greatness and learning." But what political consultant would waste his client's money trying to fit those sentiments into a 30-second commercial? Meanwhile, Election Day is less than 10 weeks away. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Bob Greene.
Bob Greene: Political campaigns resemble warfare's mutually assured destruction. He says politicians believe the only way to win is by using below-the-belt tactics. A poll showed that Americans take an increasingly dim view of negative campaigns, candidates. Greene: When the country loses decency, respect, it loses something essential.

By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 20:59 EST, 10 December 2012 | UPDATED: 19:21 EST, 11 December 2012 A petrol-bomb attack on a policewoman was yesterday being treated as attempted murder. A gang of around 15 men surrounded the unmarked car as the officer sat inside, smashed its windows and threw in the bomb. Following the incident, the worst in more than a week of disorder in Belfast, the Northern Ireland Secretary attacked Loyalist mobs for ‘dishonouring and shaming’ the Union Flag. A police patrol car sits burnt outside Alliance Party MP Naomi Long's office in east Belfast, Northern Ireland after being attacked by a masked gang of men with a petrol bomb A forensic officer works around a burnt out the unmarked police car. About 15 masked men smashed the windows of the police car and threw a petrol bomb into it while an officer was still inside, police said An unmarked police car was also paint bombed MPs united to condemn the outbreak of violence, which began after the number of days the British flag flies above Belfast City Hall was cut. The woman officer was guarding the Belfast offices of Alliance Party MP Naomi Long, who had received a death threat after her cross-community party backed the controversial move to reduce the number of days on which the flag was flown. The woman officer escaped unhurt but the attack, on Monday, was one of several incidents across the province which police said were being ‘stoked’ by social media. Yesterday Theresa Villiers told MPs: ‘There is nothing remotely British about what they are doing; they are dishonouring and shaming the flag of our country with their lawless and violent activities.' Thirty-two police officers have been hurt and 38 people charged since the violence began. Rioters gathered at Broadway Roundabout following a protest over the decision by Belfast City Council to stop flying the union flag every day PSNI Assistant Chief Constable George Hamilton said the officer was lucky to escape with his life outside the MP's office on the Newtownards Road. Officers were also attacked with petrol bombs in south Belfast close to the M1 motorway. He said: 'This was a planned attempt to kill a police officer which also put the lives of the public in danger and it is fortunate there were no injuries.' Peter Robinson, the Northern Ireland First Minister and leader of the Democratic Unionist Party had talks in Belfast with Mike Nesbitt, leader of the Ulster Unionist Party to try to agree some sort of agreed political strategy in a bid to ease tensions and end the violence on the streets. They have been heavily criticised by nationalist representatives over their leadership since the trouble first flared a week ago. The trouble followed a council decision to limit the flying of the Union flag to designated days only. Ms Long's Alliance Party has been blamed by the loyalists for supporting the nationalist SDLP and Sinn Fein in pushing through the vote to lower the flag. There were also protests in Limavady, Co Londonderry, Ballyclare, Co Antrim, Ballycastle, Co Antrim and Cookstown, Co Tyrone where the car of a DUP member of the Northern Ireland Assembly, Ian McCrea, was surrounded by loyalist who were angry at his presence. Several roads in Belfast were blocked and at one stage police were also attacked with petrol bombs and fireworks at Broadway, not far from the M1 motorway. Last week Ms Long was told by police to stay away from her home and her office on the Newtownards Road because of fears for her safety. Constituency offices used by the party were also attacked in Carrickfergus, Co Antrim and Bangor, Co Down. Mr Robinson and Mr Nesbitt have already called for loyalist restraint, and according to a statement tonight they agreed to work on a 'joint basis with a view to urgently bringing forward political proposals to address widespread concerns across the community.'

Long Beach, California (CNN) -- Taylor Wilson is going to create a safer source of nuclear energy, help reduce the world's stockpile of nuclear weapons, screen container ships for weapons and power manned missions to other planets. But first ... he has to graduate high school in May. Jack Andraka is going to bring his 3-cent screening test for pancreatic, ovarian and lung cancer to market -- an alternative to a standard $800 test. But Jack, 16, hasn't been to high school much lately and isn't even sure he'll graduate. The two teenagers with Justin Bieber style haircuts wowed the 1,400 people who attended TED2013 this week, fitting the conference's theme: "The Young. The Wise. The Undiscovered." They were among a number of youthful speakers who Time magazine's Ruth Davis Konigsberg called "some of the biggest showstoppers at the annual event." By contrast, some of the older voices onstage struck notes that were far less hopeful. Northwestern University economist Robert Gordon declared that the era of strong economic growth in the United States is over -- as America faces the headwinds of an aging population, debt, inequality and educational weaknesses; he argued that it's hard to foresee innovations that could have the transformative effect electricity, indoor plumbing and the internal combustion engine had in powering growth in the past century. Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, calling for a private sector-funded "race to the top" among states, lamented the inability of Washington politicians to develop a national energy strategy. She got laughs when she noted that Congress' approval rating is worse than lice, root canals and Donald Trump (although better than that of gonorrhea and meth labs). TED.com: Granholm's clean energy proposal And Lawrence Lessig, an author and professor at Harvard Law School, sketched an even starker picture of political dysfunction, a "pathological, democracy-destroying corruption" in which a tiny minority of Americans representing powerful interests use their campaign donations to determine which candidates survive the primaries. Even against long odds, Lessig said the problem is fixable if enough Americans organize to bring about change. There were other speakers whose inventiveness and ambition were unambiguously upbeat. Jane Chen spoke about developing a lower-tech method to save the lives of premature and low birthweight babies in regions where access to incubators isn't readily available. Her social enterprise Embrace distributes a specially engineered and heated sleeping bag that provides babies the heat they can't generate on their own until they're developed enough to survive. Google CEO Sergey Brin demonstrated Google Glass, a smartphone-like piece of headgear that enables access to your contacts, your e-mail, your searches and your photos. His pitch for the device -- now being tested by a select few for $1,500 apiece and due on the market later this year -- is partly that it frees people up from the "nervous habit" of constantly checking their smartphone as they walk: "Is this what you're meant to do with your body?" TED.com: Amanda Palmer -- the art of asking David Lang, talked of his Open ROV project, which markets an $800 kit -- using off-the-shelf parts -- for a remotely operated underwater vehicle that gives its makers the ability to explore underwater worlds in James Cameron fashion. PayPal co-founder Elon Musk didn't mention his recent dispute with a New York Times reporter over the battery range of the all-electric Tesla Model S, but made a case for the car's virtues before describing his effort to market solar panels to homeowners and businesses and his SpaceX commercial venture to the heavens. He screened a video of a reusable 12-story-tall rocket launching, hovering and then returning to a launchpad ready for another flight. SpaceX capsule reaches International Space Station Keller Rinaudo demoed Romo, a $150 iPhone-powered robot that recently launched. It uses the brains of the phone's computer chip, its camera and a plastic chassis with tank-style treads to zip around a room, express emotions, interact with owners, kids and pets, and function as "Skype on wheels" for grandparents dropping in for a virtual visit. Edith Widder, part of the three-person team that developed the device that lured a giant squid to an underwater camera, explained how it was able to get the first-ever video displaying the enormous size and intricacy of the animal in the deep ocean. 13-year old invents system to protect family livestock from lions Ron Finley, an activist in South Central Los Angeles, is leading an effort to counter the neighborhood's "food desert," by growing fruits and vegetables on city owned and private land. "If kids grow kale, they'll eat kale," he said. "If kids grow tomatoes, they'll eat tomatoes." Renowned photographer Sebastião Salgado showed finely etched works from his forthcoming book "Genesis," a 50-pound, $3,000 behemoth (there's a less elegant and smaller version for under $70) that does justice to the detail of his exquisitely composed black and white photos shot around the world. TED.com: Sugata Mitra -- build a school in the cloud Stewart Brand, the 78-year-old technologist who came to fame as editor of "The Whole Earth Catalog," introduced an ambitious plan to recreate extinct species, using DNA from museum specimens. The effort, echoing "Jurassic Park", won't bring back dinosaurs -- their DNA didn't survive the tens of millions of years since they disappeared -- but aims to "de-extinct" such species as the passenger pigeon, declared extinct in 1914. TED normally attracts an audience of the elite of Silicon Valley, Hollywood and venture capital, along with foundation and corporate CEOs, who pay $7,500 for the five-day event, which is moving next year from Long Beach to Vancouver. (CNN has a partnership with TED in which it publishes selected TED Talks along with text pieces by speakers). TED stands for "technology, entertainment and design," although its subject matter has branched out widely since its founding nearly 30 years ago. The ingenuity of this year's youthful speakers was remarkable, and so was the confident way they expressed their ideas. Wilson, 18, is finishing high school while also attending the University of Nevada at Reno. He first attracted attention for creating a nuclear fusion reactor at 14. In his TED Talk, he argued for an alternative to the most widely used nuclear power technologies. Rather than create electricity by heating water and turning a turbine, Wilson's new reactor would use nuclear fission to produce energy from molten salt. His plan would be to centrally manufacture small fission reactors and distribute them widely for burial underground. He said they could last for 30 years without refueling, compared with 18 months for larger commercial reactors. Since the reactors would not be pressurized, radioactivity would not be expelled as widely into the environment as in an accident like the Fukushima disaster, Wilson said. Costs would be lower since reactors would not have to be built onsite. Nuclear weapons could be recycled in the reactor, he said. And most exciting to the young space geek, such a reactor could power a spaceship to a distant planet and then be the power source for a human base at the destination, he said. Andraka, who's 16 and a high school sophomore, won the top prize in the Intel Science Fair competition for his cancer screening test, which relies in part on carbon nanotubes to detect a protein that is present in the blood and urine in the early stages of the three deadly cancers, providing hope that they can be detected in time for a successful cure. He told CNN in an interview that he doesn't go to high school much anymore but is busy with other projects -- including inventing an MRI the size of a credit card and leading a team of high school students competing for the $10 million Tricorder X Prize to design a handheld device people could use to monitor their health. Andraka and Wilson probably don't have to worry about it but another speaker added a sobering element to the celebration of youth at TED. Meg Jay, a psychologist and author, argued against the idea that the 20s are a period of extended adolescence where people can postpone key life choices. By the time people reach 30, they may have missed out on some key chances to take their life in the directions they hope to pursue. "Thirty is not the new twenty," she said, urging people to "claim your adulthood" and start making choices. Spoken word poet Shane Koyczan, a 36-year-old whose new video "To This Day" has attracted 5.5 million views, offered a reminder that for all that young people can achieve, many still carry a heavy burden. He told of being bullied as a child to the point that, without realizing it, he turned into a bully himself. He spoke of kids being called names, making them feel like "oddities juggling depression and loneliness" and challenged them: "if you can't see anything beautiful about yourself get a better mirror look a little closer stare a little longer because there's something inside you that made you keep trying despite everyone who told you to quit"
TED2013 conference theme was "The Young. The Wise. The Undiscovered" Speakers included a mix of young and older voices, many with ambitious ideas. One 18-year-old with nuclear reactor experience proposed a different power plant design. Older voices expressed concern about economic and political challenges facing America.

And now in an upcoming and very candid interview with the mother of girlfriend Kim Kardashian, Kanye West reveals the depths of despair he went through, telling Kris Jenner on her talk show that he 'felt like he had nothing to live for'. But the rapper says his saving grace came in the form of Kris's daughter Kim and the couple's new baby girl North West. Scroll down for video Opening up: Kanye West opens up about Kim Kardashian and the couple's new baby daughter North West in an upcoming emotional interview on Kris Jenner's talk show on Friday Opening up for the first time about his new family, the media shy 36-year-old says in a sneak peek clip of the muchanticipated sit down, that before Kim came along he was constantly: 'putting his life at risk' 'After I lost my mother, there were times... Well I put myself at risk,'' he explains to Kris in the forthcoming interview. 'I felt like sometimes I didn't have something to live for.' Kanye says that everything changed when Kim came into his life. Saving grace: Kanye reveals in the interview that his girlfriend Kim and their daughter, seen here together for the first time last week at his grandfather's funeral, has changed his life for the better Not long after the pair confirmed they were dating, they also found out they were expecting a child. Little North West arrived into the world just two months ago and Kanye says his new family has completely changed his life. 'Now I have two really special people to live for. A whole family to live for. A whole world to live for,' he explains during the emotional interview. Much-anticipated: Kanye much-anticipated interview will air on Kris Jenner's chat show on Friday Candid: This is the first time Kanye has opened up about his new family During his appearance on the show, Kanye also addresses the criticism he has received for being in a relationship with media-loving Kim. He says no matter what people say, his partner is worth every bit of it, with the 808s & Heartbreak star gushing about his great 'love' for the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star. 'I had people say "this is going to damage your credibility as an artist or a designer,"' Kanye explains. 'But I say "I don't care, I love this woman." 'Or someone could say, "When the paparazzi surrounds you... everyone knows you don't like the paparazzi. Why would you be with this person?" he adds. Emotional: At times, both Kanye and Kris both get emotional during the sit-down Lots of laughs: The pair also share lots of laughs during the interview 'And I say "I am being with this person because, you know, I love this person and she is worth it to me.' The Grammy Award winning rapper says he was taught by his late grandfather, Portwood Williams Senior, who passed away at the age of 98 on August 10, that life is all about having 'joy'. 'My grandfather just passed and he's whole thing... it was never about money and it was never about popularity. His whole thing was joy,' Kanye says. So happy: Kim and Kanye have been dating since April 2012 'Just joy. Like having joy in his life. And she's (Kim) my joy and she brought my new joy into this world. 'And there is no paparazzi and no blog comment... there is nothing that is going to take that joy away from me.' Baby makes three: Kim gave birth to the couple's daughter North West in June Kanye also admits that before he and Kim got together, he would dream about the reality star. But he tells Kris that he is not about to do a Tom Cruise and jump up and down on her couch, much to the despair of the Kardashian/Jenner matriarch. 'I just dreamed about being next to her. I keep saying it... I don't want to start jumping up and down on the couch or anything...' he says, to which Kris excitedly responds: 'Oh please! That would be so fabulous!' During his appearance on the chat show, Kanye also gives KimYe fans what they have all been waiting for - the first proper look at baby North West.

'She looks like kanye she has his cheeks and she is almost as dark as him and she has big eyes like Kim... toocute,' she wrote. 'The baby looks like Kanye with Kim's eyes,' she told another tweeter, adding that North had 'straight short and black' hair. Getting the whole gang involved: Scott Disick is co-hosting on Kris's show on Thursday .

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Shazia knows what she sees when she looks in the mirror: a woman, feminine, delicate, attracted to beauty. But when others look at Shazia they see something else: a misfit. Shazia dances for the cameras at a party. "People start staring at me in such a manner as if an animal from the jungle has come into the city." Shazia says. Shazia belongs to Pakistan's community of eunuchs. It is a term here that loosely refers to transsexuals, transvestites or hermaphrodites, like Shazia, who are born with both male and female sex organs. For Shazia what nature created, has made a life of hell. "I get so confused. I feel very strange that Allah could have made me a boy, or he could have made me a girl, but this way, neither boy nor girl. This life is very strange. It is a bad life," Shazia said. "I do not want to accept this life. Had it been legal to commit suicide I would have done it." When she was a child, Shazia said she had no doubt that she felt more a girl than a boy. Watch Shazia handle stares from men » "When I used to go to school there used to be benches for boys on one side and girls on the other; my teacher always made me sit with the girls." she said. Shazia left home when she was in her early teens. She said it was to save her family embarrassment and shame. Like other eunuchs in Pakistan, she has lived in colonies. They are often shunned by their families and forced to make a living by begging or as prostitutes. The colonies can be brutal places, where young people are often beaten and exploited. When Shazia was 17, she says she was drugged and the head of the colony performed brutal surgery severing Shazia's penis. But Shazia has survived the taunts, the humiliation and the savagery; now she is fighting back. Shazia has formed an action group and is campaigning for eunuchs like her to get proper recognition. Right now her state identity card lists her as a male. She wants to be counted as a whole person. Shazia has found a champion, human rights lawyer, Muhammad Aslan Khaki. Dr. Khaki presented a petition to the Supreme Court, leading to the first register of eunuchs in Pakistan. The court has ordered Pakistan's government departments to carry out a survey and recommend measures to fully integrate eunuchs into society without prejudice. In earlier centuries eunuchs were seen as having the power to bring good luck. For Shazia and others, their luck may finally be changing.
Pakistan's eunuch community campaigns for proper recognition. In Pakistan the term covers transsexuals, transvestites, hermaphrodites. Shazia, a hermaphrodite, tells how her penis was removed at 17. She says she feels she is a woman, but her identity card calls her male.

It has been claimed that CIA agents on the ground during the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi twice asked for permission to help Ambassador Chris Stevens and twice were told to stand down. Furthermore sources present during the deadly six-hour assault have said that a desperate last request for military assistance once the CIA themselves came under attack was denied, even though elite counter-terrorism units were only two hours away. And it has been claimed there was full communication between the CIA annex in Benghazi and the U.S. military, casting further doubts on the Obama administration's assertion that there wasn't enough information to deploy forces - deepening the crisis over their handling of the attack on September 11th and its aftermath Scroll down for video Revelations: It has been claimed today that CIA operatives at the Benghazi consulate compound repeatedly had their requests for help denied during the deadly assault on September 11 The lethal assault which led to the death of Ambassador Stevens and three other U.S. citizens began at 9.40 p.m. as the U.S Consulate came under fire from hostile Libyan forces. According to Fox News, ex-Navy SEAL Tyrone Woods, who was part of a small team at the CIA annex about a mile from the consulate, asked his superiors if he could go and assist the embattled diplomatic compound. However, they were told to 'stand down' and according to sources who spoke to the news channel were told to 'stand down' again after asking for a second time to help Ambassador Stevens and his staff. Ignoring these orders, Woods and two others heroically made their way to the consulate which by now was ablaze and began firing on the attackers. Knowledge: It is unclear who denied the requests of the CIA for special forces teams The quick reaction force which Woods was part of helped an evacuation of the main building and recovered the body of State Department staff member Sean Smith who had died in the initial attack. However, the team from the CIA annex could not locate Ambassador Stevens and returned to their own base at around midnight where they came under attack themselves. Immediately calling for assistance from Sigonella Air base in Italy which is two hours away, it is claimed that two separate special operations teams and air support were told to wait - despite the gun battle raging for four hours. It is not known who denied the request for help for the CIA operatives on the ground at Benghazi. If true these claims will radically change the perception of the field agents who were operating on the ground in Benghazi. Previously criticised for providing inadequate security for the consulate staff, the new information shows intelligence operatives repeatedly tried to assist and in fact were denied their own requests for outside help. Killed: Ambassador Christopher Stevens (left) died following smoke inhalation, while agent Sean Smith (right) died in a desperate battle Heroic: Former Navy SEALs Glen Doherty (left) and Tyrone Woods (right) were killed in a mortar attack Refuting the Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's claim yesterday that there simply wasn't enough information to responsibly deploy forces to Libya at the time of the attack, sources on the ground claim that communication was open throughout the attack. Indeed, one member of the CIA team who was on the roof of the annex was in possession of a laser to guide aerial targets including drones and repeatedly requested backup from a Specter gunship to take out an attacker firing mortars. According to sources familiar with the situation, the operative had visual contact with the Libyan mortar team and in addition was able to pinpoint positions from where the consulate attackers were firing from. Yesterday Leon Panetta claimed that he and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, and General Carter Ham, head of the U.S. military's Africa Command, felt they couldn't 'put forces at risk in that situation.' A CIA operatives request for an AC-130H gunship to take down a Libyan mortar position was denied Inferno: Armed attackers dumped cans of diesel fuel and set ablaze the consulate's exterior Siege: The compound came under heavy mortar and gunfire during the attack, which lasted several hours 'This happened within a few hours and it was really over before, you know, we had the opportunity to really know what was happening,' said Panetta. Furthermore, Fox News has learned that there were two military surveillance drones above the skies of Benghazi during the attack which would have been able to relay real time visuals of the assault to U.S. officials in the White House situation room and the Pentagon. Tyrone Woods and another former Navy SEAL Glen Doherty were killed by a mortar shell at 4 a.m. Libyan time, over six hours after the attack began and just one hour after relief from an American Quick Reaction Force sent from Tripoli had arrive. This new information comes as President Barack Obama's response to the attacks in Libya has become a contentious issue in the hard-fought U.S. presidential race, with Republican opponents raising questions about his administration's truthfulness and competence. Obama supporters have in turn accused Republicans of making unfounded accusations in an effort to score political points from the death of a U.S. ambassador and the three others killed in the Benghazi attack. Flames, grenades and gunfire: A burnt-out car in front of the U.S. consulate The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Republican John Boehner, asked in a letter to Obama on Thursday about whether military options and assets were offered 'during and in the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attack.' 'Can you explain what options were presented to you or your staff, and why it appears assets were not allowed to be pre-positioned, let alone utilized?' Boehner asked. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told Pentagon reporters that U.S. forces were on a heightened state of alert already because of the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington by al Qaeda. In the aftermath of the attack, Panetta reminded reporters that the Pentagon deployed a Marine fleet anti-terrorist security team to Tripoli and had Navy ships off the coast. 'And we were prepared to respond to any contingency. And certainly had forces in place to do that,' he said. Elite team: As the U.S. consulate in Benghazi came under a devastating attack last month, a rescue team of elite soldiers was denied the opportunity to assist the CIA who had come under attack The administration initially attributed the violence to protests over an anti-Islam film and said it was not premeditated. Obama and other officials have since said the incident was a deliberate terrorist attack. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has attributed the shifting explanation to 'the fog of war.' A State Department email made public this week showed that two hours after the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission compound in Benghazi, the Department's Operations Center advised officials at various U.S. agencies that a militant group called Ansar al-Sharia had claimed credit on Twitter and Facebook for the attacks. U.S. officials, including Clinton, on Wednesday said that such Internet postings did not constitute hard evidence of who was responsible for the attacks. The State Department has set up an independent review board to investigate the background and response to the attacks. The U.S. Senate intelligence committee on Thursday said it will hold hearings in November - after the November 6 presidential election - on security and intelligence issues raised by the September 11 attack in Libya.
Revelations shed new light on the effectiveness of the CIA at Benghazi and the level of support they were given. When the CIA annex come under attack the field agents were denied a request for military help despite a counter terrorism team being two hours away in Italy. There was full communication between operatives on the ground and headquarters - with the ability to laser guide drones, planes or special forces to enemy targets.

A Georgia police chief who bizarrely called 911 to report that he'd 'accidentally' shot his wife 'twice' on at 4 am on New Years Eve is placed on administrative leave as an investigation reveals he shot her just once. At a Thursday afternoon press conference, Peachtree City, Georgia authorities identified the shooter as local Police Chief William McCollom, 57, and the victim as his 58-year-old wife Margaret who is now fighting for her life. As of now police have not announced as to whether or not they suspect the police chief of criminal activity but have said he is fully cooperating with law enforcement. Scroll down for video What happened? On Thursday, Peachtree City, Georgia authorities confirmed that local police chief William McCollom (right) shot his wife inside their home early New Year's Day. His wife Margaret (left) was last listed in critical condition at Atlanta Medical Center Scene: McCollom allegedly called 911 shortly after 4am on January 1 to report that he accidentally shot his wife 'We have no leanings one way or the other at this point because we just don’t know,' Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard said. “As soon as all the facts are known they’ll turn over a file to our office, and we’ll review to see if in fact there’s been any criminal activity.' Margaret McCollom has not been interviewed as of yet. 'He's very, very well-liked,' Mark Brown, of the Peachtree City Police Department, told CBS. 'The department is hurting. We're very concerned for his wife and the chief. We're just trying to make sure everything is done correctly as far as the investigation goes.' The incident happened just after 4am, when officers received a call from the chief, saying he accidentally shot his wife twice at their home on Autumn Leaf using his service handgun, a Glock 17 9mm. Investigators say the woman was shot in the home's bedroom. It was initially reported that the chief shot her two times, according to the 911 recording, but authorities now say she was shot just once. Margaret was flown by helicopter to Atlanta Medical Center, where she was still listed in critical condition Thursday afternoon. The Georgia Bureau of Investigations is taking over the case, and will file a report on the shooting to the District Attorney's office which will decide whether to press charges. GBI Director Sherry Lang said the police chief is being fully cooperative with the investigation. Meanwhile, McCollom has since been placed on paid administrative leave by the City Manager, pending an internal review. Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard said McCollom has not been arrested or charged with any crime. He had only officially been in the position for two months, but took over as interim police chief in July when the previous chief stepped down. Veteran cop: McCollom has been the police chief of Peachtree City since October, but on Thursday it was announced that he would be placed on leave pending an internal review Happy couple? One of the McCollom's neighbors described them as 'loving' and that he has 'never seen any problems over there'. William (left) and Margaret McCollom (right) pictured above in a picture posted to Margaret's Facebook. It's unclear what relation the young man in the middle has to the couple Before that, he served as assistant chief and joined the department in 2012. According to Mrs McCollom's Facebook, she is licensed practical nurse who used to work in an emergency room. A neighbor who lives across the street from the McColloms described them as a 'loving couple' who 'do a lot of things together' and that he says he has 'never seen any problems over there', according to Fox. Peachtree City Police Lt Mark Brown said the department is 'hurting' after the incident and concerned for both the chief and his wife. Lt Brown said the chief was 'well like and well loved' around the department.

Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) -- More than 340 fetuses have been found at a Buddhist temple in Bangkok, discovered because the smell of decay drew complaints, police said Wednesday. Discovery of the fetuses, which came from illegal abortion clinics, have led to six morticians being detained for questioning, police Lt. Col. Chusak Kumsai said. The chief of morticians admitted receiving fetuses from several clinics, Kumsai said. Temples in Thailand typically have morticians who prepare bodies for cremation. The fetuses have been taken from the Phai-nguern Chotinaram temple in central Bangkok to the Chulongkorn Forensic Institute for investigation, police said. "I think [the fetuses were at the temple] because the new incinerators are under construction," nearby resident Puak Eiamchan said. "So the temple can't receive any dead bodies to cremate for almost two months now." "I believe that people who did this must have done it for some time and it was exposed because they can't burn the fetuses and they were accumulated to hundreds and the smell started to tell." Abortion is illegal in Thailand, but women are allowed to one if they are the victims of rape, or if the pregnancy endangers the life of the mother, according to Pavena Hongskul, founder of the Pavena Foundation for Children and Women.

By Daily Mail Reporter and Ap Buddy Cianci, the twice-convicted felon who led Providence as mayor for 21 years, wants his old job back. Cianci said Wednesday that he is running as an independent for a seventh term as mayor. The last time he won an election was 16 years ago — before he was convicted in 2002 of racketeering conspiracy for widespread corruption in his administration. He spent 4 1⁄2 years in prison. Cianci, 73, said he is not seeking redemption, but wishes to bring his experience and vision to the city to make a difference. He said Providence can't afford to have a mayor who is getting 'on-the-job training.' Convict: Buddy Cianci was twice forced from office after assault and corruption convictions Making an announcement on his radio show, Cianci said that many people would call this an eleventh-hour decision, but that he decided to join the field after much soul-searching and reflection. He said he wants to rekindle the city's 'renaissance.' 'If the people don't want me, they don't have to vote for me. I realize I have baggage,' he said during a break in his show. 'They know who I am. They know what I am. And they know what I've accomplished.' Cianci's announcement came shortly before the 4 p.m. filing deadline; a surrogate filed his paperwork for him at City Hall. He will take a leave from the show and from his duties as a local television commentator during the campaign. Cianci previously won office as a Republican and independent. New gig: Cianci has worked as a radio broadcaster since his release from federal prison in 2007 Popular: Despite his felony convictions, Cianci has remained a popular politician in Providence He was diagnosed in January with cancer and has undergone chemotherapy and radiation treatments, but says his health is good now and won't keep him from running a campaign or the city. Under his watch, the city transformed from a down-at-the-heels urban center with a dwindling downtown to an arts and culture hub. He often boasts that he literally moved rivers to improve the downtown. Supporters had urged him to run to bring his vision and attitude back to City Hall, but many residents feared a run by a man who was driven from office twice by felony convictions would embarrass the city. Cianci mounted his first campaign in 1974 and never lost an election. But he was forced to resign in 1984, after he was convicted of using a fireplace log and lit cigarette to assault a man he believed was having an affair with his estranged wife. Six years after that conviction, in 1990, he ran for mayor again and won. His second stint as mayor, known around town as Buddy II, came to an end in 2002 when he was convicted as part of a federal investigation into corruption in City Hall, called Operation Plunderdome by the FBI. Several other members of his administration were also convicted. Nice 'do: Cianci used to wear a tupee but recently ditched it and embraced his bald head The city's demographics have changed since Cianci last won election. Its Hispanic population grew nearly one-third between 2000 and 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Hispanics represented 38 percent of the population in 2010. The city usually votes heavily Democratic. A crowded field of candidates is vying to replace one-term Mayor Angel Taveras, who is mounting a run for governor. Democrats running include City Councilman Michael Solomon, political operative Brett Smiley and law professor and former judge Jorge Elorza. Republican Dan Harrop is also running. Lorne Adrain filed as an independent. A few of the candidates issued immediate statements reacting to Cianci's entry. 'Providence cannot afford to return to the corrupt politics of the past, and that is what Buddy Cianci's candidacy represents,' Smiley said. Solomon said he — not Cianci — is the candidate of experience, having worked in recent years with Taveras to bring the city back from the brink of bankruptcy. He said voters want to 'keep moving forward.' Adrain said Cianci's announcement won't affect his campaign. 'The people of Providence are well familiar with his history,' he said.
Cianci served six terms as the mayor of Providence, Rhode Island. He is often given credit for the city's rise as a cultural hub. Cianci's first felony conviction was for assault after he beat a man with a log and a lit cigarette. His second conviction was related to wide-spread corruption in his administration. Cianci served nearly five years in prison for the corruption charges.

Security experts have warned Android smartphone owners to update their software and be wary of clicking untrusted links - as they could reset your phone back to its factory setting without warning. Researchers found that malicious hackers can create web-links that can wipe your phone - meaning all your files, personal details, images and music would be wiped, just by getting you to click on a web-link. The exploit has been tested on Samsung phones, but could potentially be work on handsets from companies such as HTC. The bug exploits a feature in many phones from Samsung where clicking on a link can automatically dial a number into your dial-pad and click 'Call'. The Galaxy S2 is likely to still be at risk from the 'link-jacking', which could reset a phone by following a URL - which can automatically dial 'magic codes' from your phonebook While this is a handy feature in some cases - for instance, calling a restaurant directly from a web-page - it opens the door for malicious uses. Many manufacturers add hidden commands to your phonebook - for instance, dialling *#*#4636#*#* will automatically show you your phone's secret setting menus. But some manufacturers, including Samsung, add additional codes - and one of them automatically resets your phone, without any way of interrupting the process. The exploit was first announced by Ravi Borgaonkar, from the Technische Universitat in Berlin. He said web links could be embedded in text messages, clicked on in a web browser, or scanned using a QR 'barcode' tag. When Borgaonkar announced his finding yesterday, he said there was nothing a Samsung owner can do to stop it. Android is rapidly becoming one of the most established operating systems in the world. This month - just before the iPhone launch on September 12th - Andy Rubin, the Google executive who founded Android, announced that 500 million Android devices had been activated across the world. The pace of adoption is rapidly speeding up - from around 500,000 activations a day a year ago, to 900 daily activations in June, to more than 1.3million activations a day by September. So far, there have been few serious security breeches for Android and Apple devices, in terms of causing a financial cost to the end-user. But as our phones become more widespread and become a bigger part of our daily lives - for instance, when used as a wallet to make payments - it is likely hackers and criminals will find new ways to target devices. However, the exploit only appears to work on some models, and Samsung has released a security update to block the problem. Samsung said there is a fix out for the flagship Galaxy S3 has already been issued, but has not referred to other models yet, such as its bestselling Galaxy S2. The spokesman said: 'We would like to assure our customers that the recent security issue concerning the GALAXY S III has already been resolved through a software update. 'We recommend all GALAXY S III customers to download the latest software update, which can be done quickly and easily via the Over-The-Air (OTA) service.' Users can find updates by clicking on Settings | About Phone | Software updates. Some users also report the problem can occur on HTC handsets, but this is still under investigation. Developers for Android said they had also adapted the operating system to prevent the exploit. However Android's well-known slow update process - due to the varieties of different handsets, and phone networks insisting on adding 'bloatware' to their own devices - means this may not roll out to users quickly. In practice, few users are likely to come across a link which will affect their phone in this way, but anyone who is concerned should seek out an app in the Play Store called TelStop.
Samsung phones could be wiped if a hacker codes a website address to activate the 'reset' switch. Other Android phones, such as from HTC, may also be vulnerable to exploit.

(CNN) -- Ireland opened the defense of their Six Nations rugby title with a 29-11 victory at home to Italy, while England repelled the challenge of Wales to win 30-17 in Saturday's other match. Ireland, who won all five matches last year to complete a Grand Slam, led 23-8 at halftime in Dublin but could not run away with victory against a determined visiting team. Recalled flyhalf Ronan O'Gara became the first player to score 500 points in the tournament as he was successful with all six kicks at goal, while Jamie Heaslip and Tomas O'Leary crossed for first-half tries. Italy's only try came just before halftime, despite the sin-binning of center Gonzalo Garcia meaning coach Nick Mallett's team were reduced to 14 men, after a charge-down of Rob Kearney's kick by Kaine Robertson. "It's not easy to click immediately having only been together for two weeks and not having played together since November," Ireland captain Brian O'Driscoll told reporters. "There is plenty to improve on. It's the first one and job done. We'll take the positives out of it and move on. We showed an ability in the first half to turn defense into attack and the amount of lineout ball we won was a big plus. "We made some good line breaks but didn't finish them off. Maybe we need to improve our support play." England flanker James Haskell scored two tries to lift the pressure on head coach Martin Johnson, as Wales paid the price for Alun-Wyn Jones' sin-binning with 17 points conceded while the lock was off the field at Twickenham. The match was level at 3-3 when Jones was yellow-carded for leg-tripping England hooker Dylan Hartley, and the hosts subsequently scored a penalty and two converted tries, Haskell's first in Tests and another five minutes after halftime by scrumhalf Danny Care. Wales battled back to 20-17 down with eight minutes left as Jones made some amends by setting up prop Adam Jones for a try and then James Hook crossed for another. But four minutes later Haskell went over again thanks to Delon Armitage's interception, and then Jonny Wilkinson kicked his third penalty, this one from the halfway line to give the flyhalf 15 points for the match. Wales coach Warren Gatland was furious after Jones' indiscipline cost his side dear. "We are frustrated and disappointed. We felt that was a game that has slipped from our grasp," the New Zealander told reporters. "The yellow card has cost us 17 points -- it was one of those things, stupid. It was massive. Sometimes those things are very, very costly, and it was for us today. "We had stressed discipline over the past two weeks and talked about giving nothing soft away, and it is frustrating we have done that. He has made an impulsive decision, and hopefully it is a learning experience for him and he doesn't do it again." France travel to Scotland for the opening round's other match on Sunday.

By Jessica Jerreat PUBLISHED: 09:25 EST, 25 May 2013 | UPDATED: 12:28 EST, 25 May 2013 The Army commander of a remote Alaskan base is under investigation for sexual misconduct, after allegedly allowing officers to have affairs and for permitting scantily clad women soldiers to pose for a calendar. Soldiers at the anti-ballistic missile base claimed Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Miley had created a 'toxic environment' by turning a blind eye to cases of sexual misconduct. It was claimed that women soldiers at Fort Greely were also being allowed to trade sexual favors for favorable treatment from officers. Target: Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Miley's wife, Tracey, featured as the August picture on a racy calender he approved of women at the base Even if sexual misconduct is consensual, the Army forbids commanders to have relationships with their subordinates. Marco Morales, spokesman for the Space and Missile Defense Command, confirmed the commander was under investigation in an email obtained by Bloomberg. Incidents of inappropriate sexual relations between officers and soldiers had increased because no disciplinary action was being taken, according to three sources, who spoke to the news agency on the condition of anonymity. Lieutenant Colonel Miley declined to comment about the allegations when contacted by Bloomberg, referring the news agency to unit’s public affairs office. The spokesman there directed queries to the Space and Missile Defense Command. An anonymous complaint was made against Lieutenant Colonel Miley earlier in the year, after he promoted a racy calender featuring his wife Tracey as the August shot, alongside women from the base. An alleged inappropriate relationship had formed between the soldier who took the photos and one of the soldiers who posed in it. The owner of a bar near the base, defended the $25 charity calender for the American Cancer Society as 'tasteful' and said it had been selling well. Family values: Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Miley, with his wife Tracey, and daughter Criticized: Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Miley, pictured with his wife Tracey and child, is accused of creating a 'toxic environment' Patsy Ewing, co-owner of Clearwater Lodge, told Army Times she had received no complaints about the calendar, which features a shot taken in her establishment. She added however, that the bar did not attract conservative customers. Lieutenant General Richard Formica, of the Army Space and Missile Defense Command, said the allegation would be investigated, but that he did not believe there had been any 'wrongdoing', according to the Army Times. He added that any potential impact on the command and its family readiness group would be monitored. In an email to Lieutenant General Richard Formica, head of the Space and Missile Defense Command, soldiers at the base complained that Commander Miley’s alleged condoning of sexual affairs left them fearing 'for our wives and even our children in this toxic environment'. At least 16 women serve at Fort Greely, a launch site for anti-ballistic-missile missiles, such as the ones the U.S. fears are being developed in Iran and North Korea. Military officials told NBC News that by allegedly condoning the behavior Lieutenant Colonel Miley had, in effect, created an 'open season' when it came to sexual activity among troops. One official said: 'It's as if that was the only thing to do' at the remote base. It comes as the Department of Defense increases its efforts to prevent sexual assault, after reporting this month that the number of cases has increased in the past year. Remote: The Army's Fort Greely anti-ballistic missile base is located in the Alaskan wilderness Defense: Fort Greely is a launch site for missiles capable of taking down long-range weapons On Friday, President Obama called on Naval Academy graduates in Maryland to 'live with integrity' to improve trust in the military. 'Those who commit sexual assault are not only committing a crime, they threaten the trust and discipline that make our military strong,' he said at the graduation in Annapolis. Figures released by the Department of Defense estimate there were 26,000 cases of unwanted sexual contact, from groping to rape, in 2012. This was a 35 per cent rise in the number of cases reported in 2010. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is due to address West Point graduates on Saturday, three days after a Sergeant at the academy was charged with secretly filming and photographing women there. Two Army officers assigned to prevent sexual assault are also currently under investigation for alleged attacks, according to CNN. An Army sergeant first class, who worked at Ford Hood's sexual assault prevention unit in Texas, is being investigated for alleged sexual assault, pandering, abusive sexual contact and maltreatment of subordinates. In Arlington, an Air Force officer responsible for an assault prevention unit has been charged with sexual battery after allegedly fondling a woman in the car park near his office. Force for good: President Obama calls on Naval Academy graduates in Maryland to help restore trust A Fort Bragg soldier who helps run the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program at the North Carolina base, said sexual assault damaged the strong bonds within the Army. 'This crime of violence, soldier upon soldier, it breaks your trust,' Sgt First Class Josalette R. Simmons, said. 'A lot of victims are young soldiers who have left home for the first time and they come in thinking they're going to be part of another, bigger family, then this happens. It's almost as bad as being sexually assaulted by someone from your own family, just breaks that bond of trust,' the 25-year-old who won official recognition for her efforts, added. In an open letter to troops this month, Army Chief of Staff General Raymond T. Odierno said the Army was failing in its efforts to prevent sexual assault. He said: 'It is time we take on the fight against sexual assault and sexual harassment as our primary mission.' Cases of sexual assault and harassment were damaging trust within the force, the general said, adding: 'These acts violate everything our Army stands for.' Sorry we are unable to accept comments for legal reasons.

Arlington, Virginia (CNN) -- Ron Paul supporters have a plan. As they doggedly work the Republican system from the ground up, electing more of their team as delegates to the Republican National Convention, they have a heavyweight plan that's markedly different from the rumors of convention subterfuge and the guess of simply getting their candidate to the podium. "We want to change the Republican Party," said Chris Stearns, the Virginia state director for the Ron Paul campaign. "We are making sure our people get in positions of leadership -- in the nation, in their state, in their county and city, all the way down to the grass roots level." Libertarians such as Stearns aspire to nothing less than the kind of bottom-to-top takeover that proved so successful for the religious right and anti-abortion forces in the 1980s. Many of the men and women who swept into local party office then inhabit top rungs of the GOP now. And similar to that movement, Ron Paul and his campaigners for liberty are looking down the road. "This is not just for this term," Stearns told CNN Radio from the southern end of the state, "but four, six or eight years from now." Nearly 200 miles away, in northern Virginia, a separate Ron Paul supporter is similarly forward looking. "Four years, eight years, 12 years, we are here for the long haul," said Patrick Bailey, a 26-year-old who moved from New York to Washington specifically to get involved in electoral politics. He plunged in on Saturday as one of three Paul supporters running for delegate to the national convention from Virginia's 8th Congressional District. Battle in the grass roots That kind of local party election is often ignored by headlines and pundits, but it's where Ron Paulians are waging their most furious battle. Primaries and caucuses often dictate how a state's delegates should vote, but it is these internal state and local party conventions that determine who the individual delegates will be. They represent hundreds of small but open doors to get your troops to the convention. The 8th District, which includes the Washington suburbs of Alexandria and Arlington, felt the Paul surge Saturday. Four years ago, the district convention saw some 350 participants. The 8th District Republican chairman told CNN that participation had nearly doubled this year. Anyone can attend and vote, as long as they sign up by a deadline and have not voted in a Democratic primary in the past five years. This is how the Paul strategy works: Sign up. Show up. Vote. "We have been calling and e-mailing," Bailey said ahead of the vote. "Our turnout's looking great." But some feel it is an attempt at political hijacking. "There are people out here who are still fighting for Ron Paul who got defeated at our primary," said Fran Redmon, who has been involved in the 8th District Republican Party for 40 years. "It's so ridiculous. They should either be a Republican or not be here today." Asked what she thought the Paul supporters were trying to accomplish, Redmon replied, "I think they aren't really thinking it through. I suppose they think we're people who don't have an agenda or something." Indeed, the agenda is the rallying cry for the libertarian forces. CNN spoke with more than two dozen Paul supporters at this local Republican meeting and they shared common goals: substantially smaller government both in spending and in power, far more limits on the Federal Reserve, an end to what they see as American interventionist policy overseas and a cry of concern for individual rights. The second-ballot gambit "This is a movement," said Homan Rabie, who came to the 8th District convention with his high school friends, "(Republicans) need a true philosophy." They need to bring in more minorities and young people like his group, he added. So it's a movement. Why then all the national convention delegates? Especially in a place like Virginia where, by Republican rules, nearly all the elected delegates must vote for Mitt Romney on the first ballot. Let's get the nomination theory out of the way. One supporter at the 8th District convention mentioned a much-forwarded idea that Paul delegates could abstain on the first ballot, forcing a second vote at the convention and then, on that second ballot, cast votes for Paul. But there are two problems with this notion: One is that if a delegate abstains, an alternate delegate, who may or may not be a Paul supporter, would step in. The other problem? Many Paul supporters told CNN they think it's a pipe dream. They're distancing themselves from the idea. "To me personally, it doesn't look like any way that's going to happen," said Bailey, the candidate trying to get to Tampa. "I don't see (the Paul delegates) going in and causing a ruckus. The last thing we need is to become a scapegoat (if Republicans don't win in November)." Change the party from the bottom up Paul says as much himself. He told CNN last week that the idea of disrupting the national convention "is not in my plan. That is against my plan." The plan, say supporters up and down the Paul chain, is to put their people in Republican positions of power from the bottom to the top, and change the party. Saturday, the few hundred voters at Virginia's 8th District convention chose between seven candidates for three national convention seats. While Bailey came in fifth, his friend and fellow Paul supporter Matthew Burrow took third place and won a spot for libertarians in Tampa. Stearns says Paul supporters have won 15 of the 24 congressional delegate spots decided in Virginia so far. Add it to the list. Paul took all 21 elected delegate spots in Maine and the vast majority of the elected delegate positions in Nevada, state party officials confirmed to CNN. Party officials in Minnesota have not been able to certify their exact results to CNN but agreed that Paul won most of the up-for-grabs delegates there as well. That is especially notable because Minnesota's delegates are not bound on the first ballot at the national convention. But the 2012 nomination is not the point, Bailey reminded those around him. Instead, it's learning the process, getting better at it, gaining positions and changing the Republican party, no matter how long it takes. "We're all getting training on the ground now," he said. "At the end of the day, this is all practice for the next time. And the next time all be practice for the time after that. And eventually we are going to win." It is a big plan, requiring not just determination but stamina.
Ron Paul supporters want bottom-to-top takeover of GOP. Part of the plan is electing supporters to party posts from local level and up. Supporters say they're looking beyond 2012 to what's down the road. "At the end of the day, this is all practice for the next time," Paul director says.

By Jack Doyle and Emily Allen UPDATED: 11:29 EST, 17 February 2012 Theresa May will visit Jordan in a bid to secure radical cleric Abu Qatada's extradition to the country, it was announced today. Qatada has been released from jail under strict bail conditions while the Government seeks assurances that evidence gained through torture would not be used in any trial against him. But times is ticking because the 51-year-old cleric, once described by a judge as Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe, could be freed from his bail terms in just three months if Mrs May fails to show significant progress is being made in the talks. Shock: Abu Qatada's (pictured earlier this week) landlord has told of his shock after discovering the radical cleric is living in his house with his family and has been in touch with the lettings agent to have him removed The Home Secretary said today: 'The UK and Jordan remain committed to ensuring that Abu Qatada must face justice and are pursuing all options with regard to his deportation and it is my intention to travel back to continue those negotiations shortly.' Meanwhile the landlord of the house where hate preacher Abu Qatada is living following his release from prison has revealed he had no idea he was even there. The landlord said he wants the radical cleric out and has already been in contact with letting agents who rented the property out on his behalf. He said he had let the house in Wembley, north-west London out to a woman and her four children who had a different name to Qatada. But the 51-year-old cleric moved in with his wife and children to the £400,000 property after being freed from maximum security Long Lartin on Monday night. His release as the result of a European human rights ruling caused outrage after it emerged 60 police will keep tabs on him, costing taxpayers £10,000 a week But the 51-year-old cleric, once described by a judge as Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe, could be freed from his bail terms in just three months if Mrs May fails to show significant progress is being made in the talks. Speaking after he heard the news the landlord, who cannot be identified, said he rented the property out on January 9 to a woman and four children whose name is different to Qatada. She signed a year's contract with a six month break clause. He said: 'If he is living there I want him out. I’ve been on the phone to the agents all day. They didn’t even tell me. 'I don’t want someone like that living there. It’s not good for me. I would never rent my property to someone like Qatada. 'This is not something I stand for, it is humiliating. I cannot believe it. I want Abu Qatada and his family out of my house.' Qatada was released from high security Long Lartin prison on Monday night and placed on a strict 22-hour curfew. He must stay at his home in Wembley, north London and cannot use a mobile phone or the internet The landlord added: 'I am shocked. I knew nothing about this.' He said he was called by a lettings agency in January saying the woman wanted to rent the property on a year's contract. The tenancy agreement was drawn up and he was told the woman did not have a husband. He said the woman claims benefits and is paying him £1,900 a month. It comes as yesterday a senior European human rights official has admitted Britain would face no real punishment if Qatada was put on a plane tomorrow. Thomas Hammarberg said ‘there isn’t really a sanction’ were the government to ignore the European Court of Human Rights and deport the radical preacher. The comments will heap pressure on Home Office ministers to ignore the court’s ruling and send Qatada back to Jordan. The radical cleric, described by a British court as a ‘truly dangerous individual’ was released on bail this week as a result of the Strasbourg ruling. Tory backbenchers have challenged Home Secretary Theresa May to follow the example of countries such as Italy and France who have ignored court rulings to deport dangerous foreign nationals. Yesterday, in a further blow to hopes of deporting Qatada, a senior member of the Jordanian royal family appeared to pour scorn on the idea it would give in to Strasbourg’s demands. Speaking to the BBC, Prince El Hassan of Jordan, uncle of King Abdullah, said: ‘If this man has committed crimes which is presumably why he is being held in England, I don’t know what kind of court one has to offer to the Europeans. Does it want a juvenile court?’ No sanctions: Thomas Hammarberg, a senior official, said kicking Abu Qatada out would 'set a negative example' He added: ‘This is essentially a British European conversation and I don’t think democracy means that we have to appeal to every single European parliamentarian.’ Mr Hammarberg is commissioner for human rights at the Council of Europe, the court’s governing body. In an interview with the Guardian newspaper he accused ministers of not even reading the court’s judgement in the case. Asked what the repercussions would be if Britain ignored the court’s ruling, he said: ‘Someone may file a complaint and there would be a judgment that there’s a violation of human rights, but it’s more the bad example. ‘It would send a signal that the UK, which currently holds the chair in the Council of Europe, is ignoring [judgments] and that would be such a bad signal. There would be a chain effect.’ ‘It would set a negative example that would be used by other countries in Europe which are less keen on human rights. It would be extremely unfortunate to ignore the ruling. It’s a serious ruling and a serious matter.’ He added: ‘I have read the discussions in the UK and know that [Abu Qatada] is seen as a dangerous person. So I understand the heat but I’m not impressed by the arguments.’ ‘The key point in the [ECHR] judgment in Strasbourg is torture, but it seems that the arguments have become about whether Britain should co-operate with European institutions. ‘It seems the ministers had not even read the judgments. They mixed up the EU and the Council of Europe. It was about torture, not whether to co-operate with European institutions. Mr Hammarberg’s intervention is likely to inflame tensions between London and the council, at a time when ministers are trying to agree reforms to how the court works. Qatada was released from high security Long Lartin prison on Monday night and placed on a strict 22-hour curfew. He must stay at his home in Wembley, north London and cannot use a mobile phone or the internet. The ECHR judges said Qatada could not be sent back because he would not get a fair trial in Jordan - because evidence could be used against him which resulted from torture. Home Office minister James Brokenshire travelled to Jordan earlier this week to attempt to broker a deal which would satisfy the ECHR. Mrs May said: 'The Home Office Minister for Crime and Security, James Brokenshire MP, has led useful discussions with the Jordanian authorities and talks with officials will continue.' Mr Hammarberg said the court would need ‘watertight guarantees’ that evidence obtained from torture would not be used against Qatada at trial. His comments sparked fury in Westminster last night. Tory MP for Esher and Walton Dominic Raab said: ‘If Mr Hammarberg thinks Britain should go back cap in hand to the Strasbourg Court after this ludicrous judgment, he’s got another thing coming. In fact, since he is neither a judge nor an elected politician, he is pretty irrelevant to this debate.’
Home Secretary Theresa May to fly to Jordan in bid to deport Qatada. Human Rights official says deporting hate preacher would set a 'bad example' Official admits UK 'could ignore Euro ruling on Qatada and face no real punishment' Abu's landlord thought his London home had been let to a single mother and four children. He wants the radical cleric and his family out of his £400,000 house.

New Delhi (CNN) -- Let's hear it for "the man of the moment, the man of the millennium." That man is Narendra Modi, and those are the words with which an Australian public servant introduced India's Prime Minister in Brisbane on Sunday. "Modi, Modi, Modi," chanted the crowd. The adulation didn't end there. The next day, Modi was in Sydney, delivering a speech to an audience of 16,000 at the Allphones Arena. "You're a rock star!" shrieked an excited fan as the event beamed across millions of television screens in India and around the world. And so it was that #Rockstar and #ModiInAustralia began trending on Twitter. Tuesday: new city, new audience. Modi pitched up at the Australian Parliament in Canberra. He spoke in English this time, highlighting the linguistic and cultural commonalities between India and Australia -- almost as if to suggest India was a better trading partner than China. "Australia has immense opportunities to participate in India's progress. ... India will be the answer to your search for new economic opportunities," Modi declared. Is India really the one-stop answer? And is Modi really the man of the millennium? The hype seems to be reaching dangerous levels. There's no denying that Modi has generated immense excitement in India and abroad. Rightfully so. Here, finally, is an Indian leader who says the things Indians have been yearning to hear. He talks about faster growth, creating jobs, about a smartphone in every hand, a toilet in every home, clean streets, leaner and more transparent government. And boy, can he talk. In Hindi, in Gujarati, in English, Modi seems to know exactly what his audience wants to hear. In that sense he is indeed a rock star, riffing on his key anthems at every big speech. But can he deliver the runaway platinum sales Indians now seem to expect? We're beginning to see the first signs of questions being asked. Earlier this month, at the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in New Delhi, top industrialist Anand Mahindra told CNN that Modi's "honeymoon period is over." When CNN spoke with Indian Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, he seemed to dial back on expectations of big reforms, saying "people with their sense of wisdom will be able to appreciate" the cumulative effect of the government's smaller steps. And then there are the questions of Modi himself. At the inauguration of a hospital in Mumbai last month, Modi made a speech, played out live on many Indian TV channels. Curiously, one bit was ignored by the Indian press. Speaking of the Hindu god Ganesha -- who is depicted as having an elephant's head -- Modi claimed that Ganesha's half-man, half-elephant body was evidence that ancient Indian doctors were experts at the art of plastic surgery. Seriously? The Indian TV anchor and journalist Karan Thapar was one of the few to raise an eyebrow. "He believes in digital India, wants to import bullet trains and 'Make in India' state-of-the-art (defense) weaponry," Thapar wrote. "These are 21st-century ambitions. How does all of that sit alongside this belief in unverified mythology?" He added, "The silence of the media is deeply disturbing. It feels as though it's been deliberately blanked out by everyone." I doubt there's a larger media conspiracy only to portray Modi positively. But the media do need to take a step back and question the rock-star levels of adulation. Modi has gotten India dreaming. Who knows, those dreams may even be realized one day. But in Modi's seven months as Prime Minister so far, rhetoric and big plans aside, nothing has really changed. For hundreds of millions of poor Indians, it is still the same India. Basic infrastructure is still subpar; there are no social safety nets on health care or pensions; India is still an immensely frustrating place to live and work. And that's the tip of an enormous iceberg. India could take decades to change. We all need to remember that. So do Modi's fans.
Narendra Modi, India's Prime Minister, continues to draw praise for his speeches. Ravi Agrawal says the Prime Minister talks about the issues that matter, particularly jobs. He says some people think it's time to match rhetoric with action. Agrawal: People should have realistic expectations; it may take decades to change India.

Neymar claims he is reproducing his Brazil form for Barcelona now that he is feeling more relaxed at the Nou Camp.

The Catalans failed to win any silverware last season but they are top of La Liga after eight games and are yet to concede a goal under new coach Luis Enrique this term.

Fernando Torres scored in the first minute of each half as Atletico Madrid booked a place in the Copa del Rey quarter finals and ruined Cristiano Ronaldo's Ballon d'Or celebrations. Back at Atletico on loan after an dreadful spell at Chelsea, the former £50m striker lashed a first-time effort high into the net past goalkeeper Keylor Navas to put Atletico 1-0 ahead on the night and 3-0 up on aggregate. The 30-year-old, included in the starting lineup in place of an ailing Mario Mandzukic, had never scored against Real at their Bernabeu stadium and, after Sergio Ramos made it 1-1, he restored Atletico's lead with a neat finish just after the interval. Click here for Pete Jenson's full match report Host commentator Simeone has pulled off a tactical masterclass at the Santiago Bernabeu. Torres' double proved to be significant as Atletico progress to the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey. Ramos and Ronaldo struck for the home side but they were unable to find a further three goals. Attention now turns to Barcelona's clash against Elche. Atletico Madrid are starting to control possession now. Real look extremely despondent. Not exactly a brave prediction but it does not look like Real are going to be able to pull the three-goal deficit (due to Atletico's away goals) back. They appear to have run out of steam with just under 10 minutes left on the clock. Ancelotti will have been extremely disappointed with his side's display today. His attacking trio of Ronaldo, Bale and Benzema have failed to impress this evening. Just to remind you, Real need three goals in under 20 minutes if they are to progress to the next round of the Copa del Rey. The winners are likely to face Barcelona, who lead Elche 5-0 from the first leg. Benzema has to do better. The Frenchman blasts the ball over the bar from close range to the delight of Atletico's defender. Surely time for Hernandez to be given a chance. With 67 minutes gone, Ronaldo - despite scoring Real's second - has hardly had a sniff at goal. The Ballon d'Or winner will be extremely disappointed with how his night is panning out. Navas pushes a Griezmann free-kick over the bar. The away side have been able to get further up the pitch during the second half. Simeone's tactics have been spot on so far. Torres has been denied the chance of grabbing a hat-trick. Simeone has decided to replace his January signing with Turan. The former Chelsea striker was a staggering 250/1 to score a hat-trick before the match. This tie is just getting better and better. Bale crosses the ball to Ronaldo, who heads the ball past Oblak. 2-2 with 55 minutes on the clock. Torres worms his way into the box before the ball falls to Griezmann, whose deflected shot goes just wide. Sportsmail's Pete Jenson: 'Oh my, 37 seconds this time. Torres has silenced the Bernabeu. "Fer-nan-do Torres!" sing Atletico Madrid's 500 supporters.' Real Madrid obviously didn't learn from Torres' opener as the former Chelsea forward has scored a similar goal to his first. He links up with Griezmann again before slotting the ball under Navas' legs. Ancelotti does not have many attacking options on the subs' bench. He will surely turn to Hernandez during the second half.. Real's bench: Casillas, Varane, Coentrao, Khedira, Hernandez, Jese, Illarramendi Simeone will be delighted with the scoreline at half-time despite the fact his side have been camped inside their own half during the first half. Torres opened the scoring inside the first minute before Ramos pulled a goal back 19 minutes later. Real Madrid appeal for a penalty as Ronaldo's shot at goal appears to hit Miranda's arm. However referee Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz waves play on. It would have been extremely harsh on the Atletico defender. Real Madrid appeal for a penalty as Ronaldo's shot at goal appears to hit Miranda's arm. However referee Antonio Miguel Mateu Lahoz waves play on. It would have been extremely harsh on the Atletico defender. Karim Benzema has been extremely quiet during the first half. Ancelotti may decide to throw on Javier Hernandez after the interval. Atletico are finding it hard to get on the ball. The away side are hoping to hit Real on the counter attack, as they did with the first goal, but Real are not relinquishing possession. Real Madrid are still looking for a second goal. Ancelotti cannot fault the passion and effort of his players despite the early goal by Torres. 10 minutes to go until the interval. Atletico are doing everything they can to stop Real from going in front before the interval. They are finding it hard to get out of their own half due to the home side's eagerness to reduce the 3-1 deficit. Bale stretches his legs by bursting down the right at pace before picking out Ronaldo. However the Real Madrid man's effort at goal is deflected wide by Juanfran. Ramos has now scored six goals this season. A pretty good record for a central defender. Ramos really is a threat from set-pieces. He showed outstanding technique to head past Oblak. Ronaldo almost put his side in the lead, however his shot was cleared off the line by Mario Suarez. Momentum is building for the home side with 24 minutes gone. Sportsmail's Pete Jenson: Real Madrid need to repeat Champions League final scored here to go through and there is the first. Ramos from Kroos free-kick after Torres kicked Ronaldo. Curse of the commentator. Sergio Ramos leaps above Atletico's defence to head past Oblak and level the scoring. Game on! Atletico goalkeeper Oblak saves a Ronaldo shot from close range. The Slovenian goalkeeper will have to be at his best if he is to keep a clean sheet. 17 minutes gone and Real Madrid have not really peppered Oblak's goal. Diego Simeone will be delighted with his side's performance thus far. Griezmann, who set up the opening goal, appears to have a slight problem with his arm. Looks like he will be able to carry on though. Torres celebrated his goal in front of the Real fans, who didn't look too happy with the Atletico striker. Atletico are allowing their rivals to dictate play. The pressure is firmly on the home side after Torres' opener. Nearly 11 minutes gone at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid now need to score four goals if they are going to have any chance of progressing to the next round. A big task but anything is possible when you have Ronaldo, Bale and Co. Real Madrid will have been shell shocked by the speed of Atletico's goal. Torres, on the other hand, will take great confidence from his first goal since September 23. Fernando Torres has scored his first goal back at his former side inside the first 60 seconds. Griezmann goes on the attack before sliding the ball to Torres, who has the easy tack of placing the ball into an empty net. Ronaldo is currently on the Santiago Bernabeu turf - displaying his Ballon d'Or award to his home fans. Rodriguez, Ramos and Kroos are also showing off their trophies for being included in the world team of the year. Sportsmail's Pete Jenson: 'Mandzukic doesn't even make the bench having not recovered from a virus. Big night for Torres. Needs to stretch Real Madrid on the counter-attack as Ancelotti's team go for the big comeback. 'Big cheers as Bale's name is read out - Sunday's booing all forgotten.

The heartbroken former fiancée of tycoon Scot Young attended his funeral yesterday with more than 100 guests - including his daughters and the model Caprice. The service was held at Kensal Green Cemetery in west London more than six weeks after the Dundee-born property magnate fell to his death from the balcony of their luxury penthouse. Noelle Reno, 31, joined his daughters Scarlet, 21, and Sasha, 19, at the service this afternoon, but it appears 52-year-old Mr Young's ex-wife Michelle, 50, decided to stay away. Scroll down for video Tragedy: Tycoon Scot Young's funeral was held at Kensal Green Cemetery in west London yesterday - six weeks after he fell 60ft to his death from the balcony of his penthouse Paying her respects: Noelle Reno, the former fiancée of tycoon Mr Young, attended his funeral Heartbroken: Among the attendees at the service this afternoon were hit daughters Scarlet, 21, and Sasha, 19 Moving: Mr Young's two daughters had the word 'Daddy' made out of flowers to accompany his body In attendance: More than 100 guests, including former model-turned-businesswoman Caprice (pictured), who appeared alongside Miss Reno in the reality TV show Ladies Of London, were at the private service Mr Young, who was said to have had a fortune of £2billion and was involved in one of Britain's most notorious divorce cases, plunged 60ft on to railings outside a £3million apartment last month. His coffin, covered in white roses, was carried in a hearse with flowers spelling 'Daddy'. Relatives arrived in a fleet of more than a dozen luxury cars, headed by two black limousines. Mourners were driven to a private entrance of the chapel for the service which lasted around one hour, before the coffin was driven to the grave site within the cemetery for the burial ceremony. Mr Young, a one-time fixer to the super rich, was found impaled on metal railings outside a luxury flat in Montagu Square in Marylebone, central London, in the early evening of December 8. He had been one of Britain's wealthiest men, with a series of multi-million pound properties in Surrey, Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Miami, and a collection of supercars and a private jet. But he then became embroiled in one of the most high profile and nastiest divorce cases ever seen in the UK, with ex-wife Michelle accusing him of hiding millions from her and their two daughters. High profile: Mr Young, pictured (left) with his ex-girlfriend Noelle, became embroiled in one of the nastiest divorce cases ever seen in the UK, with his ex-wife Michelle (right), 50, who accused him of hiding millions Service: More than 100 guests attended the funeral of Mr Young at Kensal Green Crematorium In shock: The exact circumstances of Mr Young's death remain a mystery and an inquest will be held this year Tributes: The flowers and coffin in west London were accompanied by handwritten notes from loved-ones Close up: Among the tributes, one message read: 'We will always miss you very much. In your absence you will remain by Sasha and Scarlet's side' Many of the father-of-two’s relatives and friends were driven to a private entrance to the crematorium chapel before his burial at the cemetery. In cold and bright weather, the hearse arrived carrying a mahogany coffin topped with floral tributes, including one made of roses from his daughters, which read 'Daddy'. Among the tributes, one message read: 'We will always miss you very much. In your absence you will remain by Sasha and Scarlet's side.' Another message said: 'Dear Scot, missing you badly mate and you will always be remembered.' One tribute spoke of their 'great memories' with Mr Young, adding that he was 'one in a million'. After the hour-long service, Mr Young's friends and family emerged from the chapel led by Noelle Reno, the star of Bravo's Ladies of London reality TV show. He also appeared in the first season. Mr Young claimed he had lost all his money in a mysterious Russian property deal but she demanded £300million, saying he was worth 'a few billion'. Family funeral: Around 100 people attended the service held at Kensal Green Cemetery this afternoon Fall: Mr Young, 52, a one-time fixer to the super rich, was found impaled on metal railings outside a luxury flat in Montagu Square, Marylebone (above), in the early evening of December 8 Mr Young, a friend of Topshop mogul Sir Philip Green and late Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky, was last November ordered to give her a settlement of £20million and £6million in legal costs. He was also sent to prison for refusing to reveal how much money he was worth during the case. After his release, Mr Young became engaged to US fashion designer and TV presenter Miss Reno. But apparently drinking heavily and using cocaine, he spiralled out of control and she split up with him a few months ago. However it is understood he went to Miss Reno's apartment in Marylebone. When she arrived later that day, she found him inside apparently 'manic, crazy and probably high' and she demanded he leave, friends said. She allegedly walked out eventually and called the police to remove him, while he phoned her to threaten he was going to jump out of the window. By the time police arrived, he was dead, impaled on the metal railings outside. Miss Reno said she was 'distraught by the sudden loss of my best friend' and wanted to 'grieve in peace'. Mr Young had previously spoken of his battle with bipolar disorder, for which he was taking prescription medication.
Scot Young, 52, fell 60ft to his death from £3m penthouse on December 8. Six weeks on his funeral was held at a cemetery in Kensal Green, London. His ex-fiancée Noelle Reno joined his family for private funeral service. Tycoon was once believed to be worth £2bn but lost it all in Russian deal. He was involved in Britain's most high-profile divorce case with his wife. Michelle Young said he had hid millions and he was jailed for contempt. She did not attend funeral but children Scarlet, 21, and Sasha, 19, did.

Outspoken former Apprentice contestant Kate Hopkins - who once said she would never employ an overweight person - has been slammed on Twitter for a 'vile' and 'ignorant' outburst on live TV against overweight people. Appearing on ITV's This Morning opposite 18-stone plus-size model Rachel Cooper Wherry, Hopkins said overweight people are 'deluding themselves' if they think 'big is beautiful', and are using the line as 'an excuse for not wanting to do exercise and for eating as much as you want'. The pair appeared on the talk show to debate the topic of whether big can ever truly be beautiful, following comments from singer Alison Moyet, who shrunk from a size 22 to a size 10 only to confess she preferred being larger. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO Rachel Cooper Wherry, an 18-stone plus-size model, left, and businesswoman Kate Hopkins, right Plus-size model Rachel Cooper Wherry, left, appeared on This Morning with former Apprentice contestant Kate Hopkins to debate the issue of whether big can ever be beautiful In answer to the debate question, Hopkins said that all people want to lose weight and be thin. She said: 'Overweight people are deluding themselves. It's an excuse for not wanting to do exercise and for eating as much as you want.' She continued: 'It's harder to be thin - you need discipline. 'Plus-size' is just a euphemism for fat - and who wants to be fat?' 'Big is not beautiful, because big cannot find clothes they would like to wear,' she added. 'And I don't think we should teach our kids that big is beautiful when it's not.' When she was asked whether it was a generalisation to say that everyone would like to be thin, Hopkins stated that 'life is easier when you're thinner'. Cooper Wherry - who, at 5ft 9in and 18 stone says she is 'extremely happy' with how she looks - said we should teach children about 'balance', and not to be 'obsessive'. Admitting that she probably would like to lose a bit of weight, she said: 'At the end of the day it's more about me feeling less intimidated about being a bigger person and enjoying my life. And not constantly trying to make myself smaller.' When the plus-size model said she was intimidated by gyms because 'people intrinsically judge you and think you're lazy', but that she did do a lot of yoga, Hopkins replied: 'I don't believe you do enough yoga.' The heated scene on today's This Morning Hopkins added that she resented paying taxes for morbidly obese people to have gastric bands fitted, and for plus size ambulances. 'I'm bored of supporting people. This country is all about support - it's time for discipline.' Disgusted viewers took to Twitter to express their outrage at her opinions, calling her 'vile', 'ignorant' and 'stubborn'. One user, Brownhair&blueeyes, wrote: 'Kate Hopkins is taking this too far about fat people Well guess what love Marilyn Monroe was a size 14 and was the worlds prettiest women!' Another, Vicki Megan, tweeted: 'Thanks #ThisMorning kate hopkins I'm not beautiful as I'm a biggish girl. Thanks for the confidence boost #idiot.' Charlotte82 added: 'Haha. Kate Hopkins on #thismorning saying how great she is cos she's slim. You might be slim, love, but you are also VILE.' Hopkins responded to the Twitter backlash with a retort of her own: 'Lots of obese people tweeting their outrage. Take a lie down dears [sic]. One tweet is enough exercise for today.' Kate Hopkins angers Twitter users following her appearance on This Morning The Twittersphere gets irate following the broadcast Kate Hopkins responds on Twitter to the comments that she is 'ignorant' and 'vile'

By Ian Parkes, Press Association Max Chilton has every confidence he will be retained by Marussia for a third consecutive season. Chilton started the campaign relatively strongly, claiming the best results of his Formula One career by finishing 13th in the season-opening race in Australia and again in Bahrain. In Monaco, however, team-mate Jules Bianchi stole Chilton's thunder as the Frenchman scored Marussia's first points from their four and a half years in F1 with ninth place in Monaco. Centre of attention: Max Chilton remains hopeful of being retained by Marussia for the 2015 season Since then Chilton has struggled for form and results, but the 23-year-old from Reigate in Surrey sees no reason why Marussia would not retain him for 2015. 'I naturally want to stay with the team,' said Chilton. 'Like a lot of these things they filter down from the top, and there are a lot of rumours with regard to the top of the grid, with people moving around and you don't really know where you stand until then. 'I won't focus on that until later on in the year, but I'm confident I'll be here next year. I've had good races this year. 'I started off fairly strong, and okay the last few have not been particularly great, but I feel we've got to the bottom of that. Overall I've been consistent and had good results.' Chilton may yet be thanking Bianchi for that result in Monaco as the young Briton would like to believe it could play a key role in his own future. On track: The British driver joined the team in 2013 and finished every race of his debut season Those two points mean Marussia lie ninth in the constructors' title race ahead of both Sauber and Caterham. If Marussia can hold on to that position the financial rewards would be considerable, which in turn may mean Chilton not having to find the cash to fund his seat. 'Marussia have a good future, especially if we hold off Sauber for ninth. That would really build up momentum,' added Chilton. 'That would be a big help to the team financially if we could do that as it would help us develop the car for next year. 'If the team gets this ninth then we might not need to worry about that (his financial situation). That's just me really thinking of the bigger picture. 'I've not properly looked into it, but I'd like to think I could continue to help the team develop over the next couple of years.'
Chilton is hopeful of racing at Marussia for a third straight season. Briton's form has dipped in recent races after finishing 13th in Bahrain. But he is confident of staying at Marussia beyond this season.

President Barack Obama is getting off the island. In a rare move for him, the president planned a break in the middle of his Martha's Vineyard vacation to return to Washington on Sunday night for meetings with Vice President Joe Biden and other advisers on the U.S. military campaign in Iraq and tensions between police and protesters in Ferguson, Missouri. The White House has been cagey about why the president needs to be back in Washington for those discussions. He's received multiple briefings on both issues while on vacation. The White House had also already announced Obama's plans to return to Washington before the U.S. airstrikes in Iraq began and before the shooting of a teen in Ferguson that sparked protests. Protective gesture: Obama walks with daughter Malia Obama to board Air Force One at Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station in Massachusetts on Sunday Back home: Obama and Malia are seen at Joint Base Andrews in Washington early Monday Mysterious: The White House has been cagey about why the president needs to be back in Washington. He is seen here on the South Lawn of the White House with daughter Malia In good spirits: Despite the early return, The President and First Daughter seemed to be enjoying a joke Part of the decision to head back to Washington appears aimed at countering criticism that Obama is spending two weeks on a resort island in the midst of so many foreign and domestic crises. Yet those crises turned the first week of Obama's vacation into a working holiday. He made on-camera statements Iraq and the clashes in Ferguson, a St. Louis suburb. He also called foreign leaders to discuss the tensions between Ukraine and Russia, as well as between Israel and Hamas. 'I think it's fair to say there are, of course, ongoing complicated situations in the world, and that's why you've seen the president stay engaged,' White House spokesman Eric Schultz said. Obama returned from his break along with his 16-year-old daughter Mailia, but is scheduled to return to Martha's Vineyard on Tuesday and stay through next weekend. In a first for Obama family summer vacations, neither teenager is spending the entire holiday with her father. Obama left Washington Aug. 9 with his wife, Michelle, daughter Malia, and the family's two Portuguese water dogs. The White House said 13-year-old Sasha would join her parents at a later date for "part of their stay" on this quaint island of shingled homes. But Malia will not be around when her younger sister arrives. The daughters essentially are trading places, and the vacation is boiling down to Obama getting about a week with each one. Malia returned to Washington with her father and is not expected to go back to Martha's Vineyard. The White House said Sasha will join her parents this week, without saying when she will arrive or what kept her away last week, or why Malia left the island. President Barack Obama bike rides with daughter Malia Obama while on vacation with his family on the island of Martha's Vineyard Obama often draws chuckles from sympathetic parents who understand his complaints about his girls' lack of interest in spending time with him. 'What I'm discovering is that each year, I get more excited about spending time with them. They get a little less excited,' Obama told CNN last year. Even though work has occupied much of Obama's first week on vacation, he still found plenty of time to golf, go to the beach with his family and go out to dinner on the island. He hit the golf course one more time Sunday ahead of his departure, joining two aides and former NBA player Alonzo Mourning for an afternoon round. He then joined wife Michelle for an evening jazz performance featuring singer Rachelle Ferrell. Obama's vacation has also been infused with a dose of politics. He headlined a fundraiser on the island for Democratic Senate candidates and attended a birthday party for Democratic adviser Vernon Jordan's wife, where he spent time with former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton. That get-together between the former rivals-turned-partners added another complicated dynamic to Obama's vacation. Just as Obama was arriving on Martha's Vineyard, an interview with the former secretary of state was published in which she levied some of her sharpest criticism of Obama's foreign policy. Clinton later promised she and Obama would 'hug it out' when they saw each other at Jordan's party. No reporters were allowed in, so it's not clear whether there was any hugging, but the White House said the president danced to nearly every song.
President Obama will head back to the White House on Sunday night as tensions rise in Missouri and Iraq. The decision appears aimed at countering criticism that the president was spending two weeks on a resort island in the midst of so many crises.

Texas Governor Rick Perry announced today his intentions to deploy up to 1,000 Texas National Guard troops to his state's southern border, which is also the U.S. border with Mexico. 'There can be no national security without border security, and Texans have paid too high a price for the federal government’s failure to secure our border,' the Republican Governor said at a news conference this afternoon. 'The action I am ordering today will tackle this crisis head-on by multiplying our efforts to combat the cartel activity, human traffickers and individual criminals who threaten the safety of people across Texas and America.' According to a memo leaked late last night to The Monitor, the executive action will cost Texas taxpayers $12 million a month. Scroll down for video Done waiting around: Texas Governor Rick Perry said this afternoon that he is deploying up to 1,000 Texas National Guard troops to the state's southern border, which is also the U.S. border with Mexico Already, Perry has instructed the Texas Department of Public Safety to increase personnel in the Rio Grande River Valley area at a weekly cost of $1.3 million. Added together, the two measures will cost $5 million a week, the memo reportedly states, and 'it is not clear where the money will come from in the budget' other than 'non critical' areas like health care or transportation. The rise in border protection measures follows a surge of Central American children streaming into the U.S. from Mexico. More than 57,000 immigrant children, many of whom are unaccompanied, have illegally entered the country since last year, and the government estimates that approximately 90,000 will arrive by the close of this year. U.S. Border Patrol has been overloaded by the deluge, and the federal government is quickly running out of money to care for the children. Congress is in the process of reviewing a $3.7 billion emergency funding request from President Barack Obama that would appropriate additional money to the agencies involved, but House Republicans remain skeptical of the president's plan. Roughly half of the money Obama's asking for would go toward providing humanitarian aid to the children while relatively little would go toward returning the them to their home countries. Furthermore, Republicans would like to see changes to a 2008 trafficking law that requires the government to give children from non-contiguous countries who show up at the border health screenings and due process before they can be sent home. The judicial process often takes months, and even years, clogging up courts and slowing down the repatriation process. The president had initially planned to include a revised version of the 2008 legislation in his request to Congress that would have allowed the Department of Homeland Security to exercise the 'discretion' to bypass the current process by giving children the option to voluntarily return home. Obama backed down at the last minute after receiving negative feedback from Democratic lawmakers. Perry held a news conference with Attorney General Greg Abbott, right, this afternoon in Austin, Texas, to formally announce the deployment. Perry said the National Guard troops were needed to combat criminals that are exploiting a surge of children and families entering the U.S. illegally Also not included in Obama's request to Congress was funding for a National Guard deployment to the border - something House Speaker John Boehner and the Texas Governor had both called on the president to do. Republicans say a National Guard presence is needed at areas of high crime to help Border Patrol agents crack down on smugglers and drug cartels. In a face to face meeting with Obama when the president came to Texas two weeks ago Perry again asked the president to deploy the National Guard through a federally funded statue but Obama resisted. Perry is now taking matters into his own hands, sending his own set of troops down to the Rio Grande Valley to aid law enforcement officials. State Senator Juan 'Chuy' Hinojosa, a Democrat who represents border town McAllen, criticized the Republican Governor's deployment as unnecessary. '[The cartels] are taking advantage of the situation,' he told the Monitor. 'But our local law enforcement from the sheriff’s offices of the different counties to the different police departments are taking care of the situation. 'This is a civil matter, not a military matter. What we need is more resources to hire more deputies, hire more Border Patrol,' Hinojosa said. 'These are young people, just families coming across. They're not armed. They're not carrying weapons.' The leaked memo on the National Guard deployment specifically denies that it is a 'militarization of the border,' however. And Perry's office reiterated today that troops would 'work seamlessly and side by side with law enforcement officials.' Hinojosa also accused Perry, who recently toured the border with Sean Hannity as part of a special for Fox News, of being insincere in his concern about the situation at the border. 'All these politicians coming down to border, they don't care about solving the problem, they just want to make a political point,' he said.
Texas Governor Rick Perry announced this afternoon that he will dispatch up to 1,000 Texas National Guard troops to the border. The deployment will cost Texas taxpayers $12 million a month, according to a leaked memo. Perry has asked Obama multiple times to send the National Guard to the border but Obama keeps refusing. A Texas lawmaker said the Republican governor is not sincerely concerned about the border, he just wants to play politics.

By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 22:08 EST, 18 April 2013 | UPDATED: 22:11 EST, 18 April 2013 Caretakers of one of Georgia’s oldest cemeteries say the scene was heart-breaking: A toddler’s bones were spilled on the ground. The uniform buried with a soldier in another plot was strewn on the ground. Now, a reward of more than $2,000 is being offered for information on the desecration at the Old Church Cemetery, which dates to 1758 in the east Georgia countryside near Waynesboro. Clothing buried with a soldier was removed, leaving his bones exposed, Burke County sheriff’s Sgt. Sean Cochran said. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO Desecrated: A small cast iron casket that contained the remains of a 14-month-old girl is seen after being dug up and its contents spilled on the ground at the Old Church Cemetery near Waynesboro, Georgia Vandalized: Caretakers at the Old Church Cemetery are offering a reward for information leading to the suspects who left bones exposed and the uniform of a buried soldier lying on the ground Among the soldiers desecrated were those dating back to the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World War I, he said. Relic hunting is a possible motive, he said, though authorities aren’t certain what the motivation was. 'Most of the time when soldiers were buried, they were buried with their items to keep the enemy soldiers from getting them,' Cochran said. Leroy Bell Jr., commander of the American Legion post that cares for the cemetery, discovered the damage on Saturday. 'Somebody is very sick to do something like this, to desecrate a grave,' Bell told WFXG. A small cast iron casket containing remains of 14-month Emma Jane McElmurray, buried in 1884, was removed and its contents dumped out, Bell said. Torn off: Clothes belonging to a soldier sit on the ground after being removed from a grave by vandals who allegedly stole its buttons 'They took it completely out and dumped everything out in the perimeter of the family plot,' Bell told The Associated Press on Wednesday. 'It was just total devastation,' he recalled. 'I thought "why in God’s name could anybody do anything like this?"’ he said. 'I just can’t understand it, other than the fact they were wanting some kind of trinkets.' Cochran said authorities don’t know what items were buried with the bodies, so they’re not sure what might have been stolen from the bodies and the graves. History: The Old Church cemetery, as this plaque tells, was build during the Revolutionary War and has seen been maintained by the Leaders of American Legion Post 120 No honor: Among the soldiers desecrated were those dating back to the Revolutionary War, Civil War, and World War I Torn up: The site of where one of the graves was dug up, its marker knocked over, is seen here All of the buttons had been removed from the military clothing left on the ground, which appeared to be a soldier’s uniform coat, Bell said. Leaders of American Legion Post 120 are planning to rededicate the soldiers’ graves and restore the monuments that were damaged, Bell said. 'It’s just going to take a little time because we’re just a small American Legion here in Waynesboro and we don’t have that many members,' he said. They're currently accepting donations to make the reward larger. WATCH THE VIDEO HERE: WFXG Fox54 Augusta-Your News One Hour Earlier .

By Mia De Graaf Ultimo founders Michelle and Michael Mone negotiated to share personal number plates, computer passwords and a collection of small properties in a bitter divorce settlement, it has emerged. But court documents reveal the pair made a deal not to sell their Glasgow mansion for less than £2.1million and it is still on the market, reports claim. The couple, who created the lingerie brand together in 1996, split in 2011 after Michael, 46, allegedly had an affair with a bra designer. Deal: Court documents reveal Michelle and Michael Mone spent their settlement dividing secret passwords and number plates but agreed to put their entire mansion - and all its possessions - on the market for £2.1m Venture: The couple founded MJM International, which owns Ultimo, in 1996 after marrying in 1992 Michelle, 42, raged publicly at her husband for refusing to sell her their baby grand piano and part of their luxurious home. Unable to reach an agreement, they had to put the lot up for sale. The couple demolished the original building, and built 'Telperion', a five-bedroom home, six times the size of the average British house. It is located in Thorntonhall, a pretty village regarded as one of the most desirable places to live in Scotland. It is also being offered with all the furniture - estimated to have cost the couple £600,000 - which will be separately negotiated. Contentious: The pair fought over the luxurious mansion they built together in Thorntonhall, Glasgow Business: After years of bitter divorce deals, Michelle eventually bought Michael out of their business The property boasts a vestibule and reception room, drawing room, dining room, dining kitchen, family room, cinema and five bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. There is a state-of-the-art kitchen designed by the acclaimed Clive Christian and featuring beautifully made Edwardian style units and four dishwashers. But according to The Scottish Sun on Sunday, they settled on dividing up other items including their fleet of four personalised cars and their own secret passwords used in the business. Now linked to cricketer Shane Warne and businessman Karl French, Michelle has been embroiled in controversy over student halls being built next to the home where she now lives with her three children. She paid £780,700 for the three-bedroom duplex and had extensive works done before moving into it last August. The property has a magnificent reception hall and stairway and is now worth more than £1 million. However, the 42-year-old businesswoman was aghast at the thought of 'anti-social' Strathclyde University students becoming her neighbours or attending events at the house.
Couple who founded Ultimo in 1996 split passwords and number plates. But could not agree on deal to divide mansion after they split in 2011. Details emerged from court documents from lengthy and bitter divorce.

A mother has a rare brain disorder which she claims causes her to take off her clothes in public – and says the condition is 'ruining her life'. Leanne Lyon, 41, has a small non-cancerous tumour lodged in her brain which triggers up to five seizures a day, each lasting up to half an hour. She blacks out during the fits - which have a strange and embarrassing side-effect - they often cause her to strip down to her underwear. They also sometimes leave her incontinent, meaning she is at risk of wetting herself publicly. Mrs Lyon says while the condition may seem amusing to onlookers, it is highly debilitating as she cannot hold down a job and struggles to raise her two young children. Leanne Lyon, 41, has a small, non-cancerous tumour lodged in her brain which triggers up to five seizures a day. These episodes can cause her to strip off in public, she claims Mrs Lyon has a hypothalamic hamartoma, which is thought to affect only one in a million people. She says the condition is 'ruining her life' as she hates having seizures in front of her children: Megan, 6 (left) and Kieran, 9 (right) and feels as though she can't always look after them properly She relies on a carer to take her two children Kieran, nine, and Megan, six, to school and is heavily dependent on her husband David, 43, a shoe salesman. Mrs Lyon, of Northampton, said she doesn't strip every time she has a seizure, but it does happen around twice a month. She said: 'I have no idea what I'm doing during the fits - it's almost like I'm sleep-walking and it's led to some really embarrassing episodes. 'Once, I was shopping in Wilkinsons when I suffered a seizure and I began stripping in the aisles. When I came round, I was in nothing but my underwear.' She added: 'Because I black out during the seizures I can never remember what happened - I simply come round with no clothes on. 'I'm sure it might look funny to some strangers but the condition is ruining my life. 'The same thing happened at a taxi rank. 'It's mortifying and frankly I'm amazed nobody has called the police to report me for indecent exposure.' Mrs Lyon has had seizures since she was four years old. Medics were baffled by her condition until she was diagnosed with hypothalamic hamartoma at the age of 29. The condition is a small, non-cancerous brain tumour which causes seizures, blackouts and memory loss. It is thought to affect only one individual in every one million people. At 17, she had surgery to remove part of her brain and rid her of the tumour. But the procedure, a left temporal lobectomy, only made the condition worse. Now Mrs Lyon has five or more episodes a day. While some last for a few seconds, others can go on for half an hour. When she was 17, Mrs Lyons had a part of her brain removed in order to remove the tumour. But the procedure, a left temporal lobectomy, only made the condition worse Hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) is a small, non-cancerous brain tumour which causes seizures, behavioural problems, blackouts and memory loss. The condition is thought to affect only one in a million people. HH is often difficult to diagnose and even more difficult to treat. Some individuals can go years with very few symptoms, or ones that are so mild, they are often missed by both parents and medical professionals. However, for most people with HH, the most common symptoms are frequent daily 'gelastic' seizures (seizures which involve spontaneous laughing, giggling or smirking) or 'dacrystic' seizures (which involve crying or grunting). People with HH report behavioural difficulties, and some have been diagnosed with attention deficit behavior (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Asperger’s disorder, depression, paranoid disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Some have significant difficulties controlling angry outbursts, aggressive tendencies and many have been described as having oppositional-defiant disorder. These angry outbursts are often referred to as hypothalamic rages. What makes the actions different from a genuine angry ouburst is that the person typically does not make eye contact or the eyes seem vacant, they initially may not be able to hear any commands and they often require time and space to calm down. Sometimes they have no memory of the rage once it is over. These symptoms often start early in life – for some, they become apparent shortly after birth, but are frequently misdiagnosed. They are most commonly treated by surgery or anti-epileptic medicine. Source: Hope for HH Mrs Lyon said: 'It's terrifying - not to mention dangerous - living like this. 'Once, I got onto a bus during a blackout and when I came round I had no idea where I was. 'I also am often incontinent when I have my seizures, which is excruciating. I had to wear adult nappies for a while. 'I can't go out for a night out with friends because I'm terrified I might have an episode. 'It would be really embarrassing to have to go home early because I wet myself or started stripping at the bar.' Mrs Lyon also suffers from embarrassing episodes at home. She said: 'A few months ago I was folding my kids' washing when I had one of my episodes. 'I don't know what I did while I was having my fit but when I came around I had one leg in a pair of my eight-year-old daughter's knickers. 'I frequently walk from room to room in nothing but my underwear with no idea what's going on.' She added: 'My children are more like carers than carefree kids - they've had to grow up so quickly. 'When I start having a fit I usually start laughing. 'When my son sees me laughing he says "Mummy's having one of her turns," and he records it on his phone so I can see what happened. 'It is horrible to watch, you can see I'm not quite right. 'I hate to think that my kids have to watch their mother having seizures multiple times a day. 'My devoted husband is incredibly understanding but my condition puts a constant strain on our marriage. 'To him, it must be like living with three children. 'I don't feel like a normal wife or mother. I need help with the school run because I can't be trusted with the kids alone.' Because of the debilitating condition, Mrs Lyon also struggles to hold down a job. The seizures often leave Mrs Lyon incontinent, and she says they are dangerous. Once she had a seizure and got onto a bus and when she 'woke up' she had no idea where she was. She is pictured undergoing tests in hospital with Vivian Gattoc, who founded the Hope for Hypothalamic Hamartoma charity She says the condition means her children are 'more like carers than carefree kids'. She said: 'I don't feel like a normal wife or mother. I need help with the school run because I can't be trusted with the kids alone.' She is pictured with daughter Megan, 6, (left) and son Kieran, 9, (right) For a brief period she was employed at a supermarket but left after one of her episodes. She said: 'I have no idea what happened but I could tell my colleagues were scared by me afterwards.' Mrs Lyon's rare condition can be treated using keyhole surgery to destroy the tumor. But the procedure is currently only available in the United States and costs £95,000. Mrs Lyon said: 'I'm desperate to find a way to beat this tumour. 'It would mean the world to me if I could just take my kids to the park without needing constant supervision. 'I'm trying to raise money for the expensive procedure in America – one day, I'll beat this and be seizure free.' To donate towards Mrs Lyon's surgery, please visit her website.
Leanne Lyon has hypothalamic hamartoma, a non-cancerous brain tumour. It causes her to have up to five seizures a day which can last 30 minutes. During seizures she has removed her clothes in public places like shops. She can also be left incontinent, meaning she's afraid to go out with friends. It leaves her unable to work and she can't always care for her children. Is now fundraising for brain surgery in the U.S. which costs £95,000.

By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 10:13 EST, 5 October 2012 | UPDATED: 17:56 EST, 5 October 2012 The estranged wife of celebrity chef Marco Pierre White yesterday admitted smashing up his Range Rover and daubing insulting graffiti in blood and red paint on his west London home. Matilde Conejero, 47, used a child’s scooter to break the front and rear windscreens of the TV star’s top-of-the-range 4x4 vehicle, causing £12,000 of damage. When he failed to answer his buzzer, the mother-of-three used her own blood and red nail varnish to scrawl insults on the walls of the communal hallway outside his front door. Matilde Conejero and Marco Pierre White arriving separately at court today: The estranged wife today admitted to damaging the chef's Range Rover Eventually, when a woman appeared at the door, Conejero ‘lurched’ at her in a jealous rage and had to be restrained by police. Nicholas Alexander, prosecuting, told Isleworth Crown Court how Pierre White, 50, was asleep at his luxury home in Holland Park on May 7 when he was woken by a commotion outside. Mr Alexander said: ‘He could hear noise coming from outside the property and went to the window to see what it was. ‘Whilst looking through the window he could see his wife by his Range Rover, smashing the vehicle and damaging it using a child’s scooter. Extensive damage was caused to the vehicle.’ The court heard police were called and an officer arrived to find both windscreens had been damaged and the panels scratched. The day job: Celebrity chef Marco, pictured at his restaurant The Swan Inn in Aughton, Lancashire Mr Alexander said: ‘As he approached the address he noticed the defendant had a bleeding little finger and he noticed she was wearing red nail varnish. ‘As he approached the property he saw, daubed in blood and red nail varnish, she had written graffiti offensive towards Mr Pierre White.’ Conejero, who the court heard has a previous conviction for drink driving, was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and escorted from the premises towards an awaiting police van. She pleaded not guilty in a magistrates’ court, but changed her plea to guilty when the Crown Prosecution Service refused to drop the charges. David Jubb, in mitigation, described Conejero as a woman of ‘impeccable character’ who had suffered since the breakdown of her marriage. He said: ‘They have been separated for some time and it has been an emotional and distressing period of time for this woman.’ Judge Philip Matthews adjourned sentencing until later this month, but indicated Conejero did not face custody.
Matilde Conejero caused £12,000 damage to Hell's Kitchen star's 4x4. Couple's separated in 2007 after 15 years together. Couple halted divorce proceedings in 2011 after running up £3m in legal bills.

(CNN) -- Barcelona put on a sumptuous display against Rayo Vallecano and it was no surprise that Lionel Messi led the way, rewriting the record books in the process. The four-time world player of the year scored two goals to give him 228 overall in the Spanish league, passing Alfredo di Stefano's mark and placing the Argentine into a tie for third with a man who, like di Stefano, made a name for himself at Real Madrid, Raul. Barring a serious injury and change of leagues, Messi -- who did miss two months this season with a leg complaint -- is sure to take over top spot from Telmo Zarra. The latter scored 251 goals, 17 more than Hugo Sanchez. "I'd like to think that Messi still has a bit to go before he's 100 percent fit," Barcelona manager Gerardo Martino told the club website. "If he wants, he'll break any record he sets his mind to. "He's only 26 years old and he'll lose count (of the records he breaks). Barca enjoy him and Argentina does as well." Barcelona's awesome display against Vallecano prompted the Catalan club's website to use the word 'caviar' in describing the affair and the free-flowing football on offer served as a warning for Manchester City, which collides with Barca next week in the Champions League. Messi's goals came in the 38th and 68th minutes at the Camp Nou, with Adriano, Pedro, Alexis Sanchez and the returning Neymar chipping in with the others. Neymar, the Brazilian whiz, had missed about three weeks with an ankle injury. "This month has been long," Neymar told reporters. "I was very eager to play." Despite the ruthless performance, Barcelona can't gain a significant lead over Atletico Madrid. Madrid earlier Saturday blanked Real Valladolid 3-0 at home, realistically claiming all three points with two goals in the first four minutes. It was relief for Atletico, which had lost three straight games in all competitions. "It was convenient, fast and what I like is the intensity with which the team went out with," Atletico manager Diego Simeone told the club website. Barcelona and Atletico each have 60 points, and Real Madrid can join them by winning at Getafe on Sunday.
Lionel Messi becomes the third leading scorer in the Spanish league. Messi nets twice in Barcelona's 6-0 rout over Rayo Vallecano at home. Atletico Madrid won earlier Saturday to temporarily go top in La Liga. Real Madrid can join Barca and Atletico on 60 points Sunday with a win.

It’s a point of contention when thousands of Christmas markets pop up across Europe every holiday season – which one is the greatest of them all? A poll of nearly 72,000 people has tried to bring an end to the conflict – naming the festive market in Strasbourg, France as Europe’s best. With so much competition one of the most surprising inclusions on the top ten list may be Manchester, which placed ninth behind traditional favourites in Germany, Austria and France, but finished ahead of London. Europe's best: Strasbourg's Christmas market topped a vote held by a Brussels-based tourism group Source: European Best Destinations Billed by some as ‘the capital of Christmas’, Strasbourg’s market is one of the oldest in Europe, with the first being held in 1570. Today, organisers say it attracts two million locals and tourists every year. It topped the list in a vote held by Brussels-based tourism organisation European Best Destinations, and it was followed by Aachen in Germany, Vienna, Nuremberg and Lille. Rounding out the top ten were Dresden, Brussels, Cologne, Manchester and Prague. London was one of the options in the vote, which drew ballots from more than 80 countries, but it failed to crack the top ten. In an online poll, voters said they chose Manchester's market because it is traditional and modern and it ‘goes beyond the borders of the UK’. Councillor Pat Karney told the Manchester Evening News: ‘We’ve said it for years and now it’s official. 'Once again Manchester has been named the best Christmas market in the UK and one of the best in Europe and the world.' Manchester's Christmas market placed ninth, beating London as voters chose from 15 cities The Christmas market in Aachen, German came in second on the list, followed by Vienna and Nuremberg Mr Karney added: ‘We have welcomed visitors from across the world who have travelled to the city just to see the Christmas markets – but of course, once they are here, they fall in love with Manchester too.’ Open until December 21, Manchester’s Christmas market attracted an estimated 200,000 people on its opening weekend. So far visitors have taken home nearly 100,000 mulled wine mugs and consumed tens of thousands of bratwurst sausages.

(CNN) -- Jenni Rivera is being mourned as the Diva of Banda, after the musical superstar died Sunday in a plane crash in Mexico. She built a recording and performing career, several businesses and a devoted following -- and her life was as full of the ups and the downs as any of the characters she sang about. She was born 43 years ago in Long Beach, California, to Mexican parents Rosa and Pedro Rivera who named her Jenny Dolores Rivera Saavedra. In an interview with CNN en Español in 2010, Rivera spoke about how she once sold cans for scrap metal and hawked music records at her family's stand at a Los Angeles flea market. When she was just 15 and a high school student she became a mother herself, giving birth to her first child, Janney "Chiquis" Marin Rivera in 1985. She then had two more children -- Jacqueline Marín Rivera and Michael Marín Rivera -- with her then-husband, José Trinidad Marín. Rivera spoke about how Marín physically abused her because while she wanted to attend college, he wanted her to quit school and be at home "cooking and cleaning." She said she grew up with four brothers so she knew how to fight back. They divorced in 1992 when Rivera found out Marín molested their daughter, Janney, and Rivera's younger sister, Rosie. Marín was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Divorced and on welfare with three children, Rivera worked in real estate and took a second job at her father's record label, Cintas Acuario, which led to her passion and career in Regional/Banda/Norteño music. Since the release of her groundbreaking debut album "La Chacalosa" in 1995, Rivera has released more than 12 hit albums, all reaching Platinum and Gold status in the U.S. and Mexico. Her heart-wrenching ballads often center on infidelity, social issues and relationships. One of her independent albums was "Farewell to Selena," a tribute album to slain singer Selena that helped expand her following. Rivera married Juan López in 1997 and had two children with him: Jenicka and Johnny López Rivera. They divorced in 2003, and he then died in 2009. Then in 2010, Rivera married baseball player Esteban Loaiza but they filed for divorce earlier this year. Perhaps it was her personal struggles that made Rivera known not only for her music but for her strong, resilient attitude when faced with adversity. "In Mexico, she represented a lot of ladies that can't talk about their feelings," Jose "Pepe" Garza, Rivera's godfather and friend of the family, told CNN en Espanol. "The public feels represented by Jenni Rivera, and by the lyrics of her songs." Garza is very well-known within the banda and norteña music genres and has worked with other big artists in the regional Latin music. He also gave Rivera her big break. Rivera was also a woman of many firsts. She became the first artist to sell-out two back-to-back nights at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California, in 2010. And she was the first female Banda artist to sell-out a concert at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal City, California. The business mogul also started companies including: Divina Realty, Divina Cosmetics, Jenni Rivera Fragrance, Jenni Jeans, Divine Music and The Jenni Rivera Love Foundation. Rivera made her film debut at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival with the indie family drama Filly Brown, set to be in theaters in January 2013. Her fan base was only expected to grow with a show in development with ABC, confirmed a source with knowledge of the deal to CNN Entertainment. A multi-camera family comedy, according to Deadline, was expected to star Rivera as a strong, middle-class, single Latina woman working to raise a family, struggling to run a family business and manage her extended family -- all while fighting the cultural perception that she needed a man to do it all. "It is very flattering when they tell me I'm a great artist and performer," said Rivera in a 2010 interview with CNN en Espanol. "But I am a businesswoman, I'm primarily business-minded." Breaking into a male-dominated music genre was not easy, but Rivera made it look that way with her endless perseverance. "I think she just did it with her pantelones, and you need a big personality to do it. She's been through so much," said Damarys Ocana, executive editor of Latina magazine, in an interview with CNN, "She's been a victim, but never thought of herself as a victim." The drama that surrounded Rivera's life received just as much attention as her successful, career but that never stopped her from being a "mama bear to her five kids," said Ocana. Family always came first for Rivera. Flashback: Jenni Rivera reflects on her success In May 2011, Latina magazine put both Jenni and Janney Rivera on their cover, the first time the magazine put two people on the cover. "We put both of them on the cover because they were the stars of 'I Love Jenni' and the show was doing incredibly well on Mun2," said Ocana. Rivera also spent part of her life volunteering at the Love Foundation, an organization that promotes programs to support immigrants, children with cancer, women victims of violence, reports CNN Mexico. In 2010, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence named Rivera as their spokesperson. Photos: Singer Jenni Rivera Speaking on the U.S. Senate floor Monday afternoon, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida described Rivera as "a real American success story." "She was a singer in a genre of music that's largely dominated by males, and she brought a powerful voice to that genre where she sang frankly about her struggles to give her children a better life in this country," he said. Universal Music Group also released a statement, saying: "The entire Universal Music Group family is deeply saddened by the sudden loss of our dear friend Jenni Rivera. The world rarely sees someone who has had such a profound impact on so many. From her incredibly versatile talent to the way she embraced her fans around the world, Jenni was simply incomparable. Her talent will be missed; but her gift of music will be with us always." Also believed aboard the plane were her publicist, Arturo Rivera, her lawyer, makeup artist, Jacob Yebale, and the flight crew. "It's hard to accept. It's painful. I cry," said Rivera's brother Gustavo Rivera in an interview with CNN en Espanol, "But the support from the fans is consoling to us." She told CNN in 2010 that she wouldn't let scandals or personal tragedy stop her. "Staying defeated, crying and suffering was not an option," she said. "I had to get off my feet, dust myself off and press on. That's what I want to teach my daughters." In an interview with the Immigrant Archive Project she said: "If I had the opportunity to speak to a young immigrant girl that just arrived to the U.S. the advice I would have for her would be: ask, speak, search; because there are opportunities out there. And, know that you aren't the only immigrant or the last to come to this country. Many that have come before you have succeeded. It is possible." Jenni Rivera is survived by her parents, Rosa and Pedro, three other siblings: Pedro Jr., Gustavo and Rosie; and her five children: Janney, Jacqueline, Michael, Jenicka and Johnny. Journalist Jaqueline Hurtado, Catherine Shoichet and Rafael Romo contributed to this report.
Sen. Marco Rubio calls Rivera "a real American success story" Not only for her music but for her strong, resilient attitude when faced with adversity. Jenni Rivera was also a woman of many firsts and a businesswoman. Made breaking into the male-dominated music genre look easy with her perseverance.

(CNN) -- The co-founder of Rap Genius, an online-annotation website, has been fired after marking up the 137-page manifesto of California killer Elliot Rodger with comments that are being called tasteless and creepy. Mahbod Moghadam used his site, which lets users post notes interpreting rap and hip-hop lyrics, to comment on Rodger's exhaustive autobiography, which includes his reasons for killing six people in Santa Barbara, California, on Friday before apparently turning a gun on himself. In more than one note, Moghadam called Rodger's writing "beautiful," and in another he speculated on the attractiveness of Rodger's sister. In a journal and in a video posted online, Rodger had expressed frustrations about not finding women to date and resentment toward couples who kissed in front of him. He also wrote that his anger toward women intensified after he overheard his sister having sex with her boyfriend. "MY GUESS: his sister is smokin hot," Moghadam wrote. Moghadam also made comments about a girl Rodger described as the only female his age he ever saw naked. "Maddy will go on to attend USC and become a spoiled hottie," Moghadam wrote, before adding, "This is an artful sentence, beautifully written... ." Rap Genius has removed the notations. But they were captured and reposted online by Gawker, Re/code and other news sites. Why #YesAllWomen took off on Twitter On Monday, Rap Genius co-founder and CEO Tom Lehman released a written statement saying that Moghadam had resigned. "Mahbod Moghadam, one of my co-founders, annotated the piece with annotations that not only didn't attempt to enhance anyone's understanding of the text, but went beyond that into gleeful insensitivity and misogyny," he wrote. "All of which is contrary to everything we're trying to accomplish at Rap Genius." Lehman continued: "Mahbod is my friend. He's a brilliant, creative, complicated person with a ton of love in his heart. Without Mahbod Rap Genius would not exist, and I am grateful for all he has done to help Rap Genius succeed. "But I cannot let him compromise the Rap Genius mission -- a mission that remains almost as delicate and inchoate as it was when we three founders decided to devote our lives to it almost 5 years ago." Lehman said the site, which describes its mission as helping users "discover the meaning of rap lyrics," decided to post Rodger's writings in hopes that users' annotations "will eventually be a good resource for people looking to understand this tragedy." Part One of Rodger's writings currently appears on Rap Genius between breakdowns of the lyrics to "Believe Me" by Lil Wayne and John Legend's "All Of Me." In December, Google penalized Rap Genius after a user exposed what he called a scheme to manipulate search results and drive traffic to the site. The site removed the offending links and regained its Google ranking. As is frequently the case in today's digital world, the social-media backlash against Moghadam's comments was fast and brutal. "Appalling use of technology by already questionable behaving site," Re/code co-executive editor Kara Swisher wrote on Twitter with a link to that site's story. "What's most newsworthy about the story of the Rap Genius founder isn't that he was fired but that he didn't think his words were wrong," tweeted author and tech journalist Ed Bott. Observers also criticized Moghadam's own Twitter feed, which features many posts that could be viewed as crude at best and sexist at worst. On Monday, Moghadam took to Twitter to beg forgiveness for his comments. "I want to apologize to everyone," he wrote. "I need to hear these criticisms, reflect for real, and work on becoming a better person."

(CNN) -- David Villa scores a dramatic injury time winner to give Spain a 2-1 victory over Sweden in Innsbruck to put them in the quarterfinals of Euro 2008 by finishing top of Group D. David Villa leads the race for the Golden Boot after his fourth tournament goal saw Spain defeat Sweden 2-1. The match had looked set to end in a draw after Zlatan Ibrahimovic had equalized following Fernando Torres' 15th-minute goal. However, a long ball out of defense dropped kindly for Villa and the striker slipped the ball to the left of goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson for his fourth goal of the tournament. The result leaves Spain with six points in Group D, three more than Sweden and Russia and certain of top spot after beating both those teams. Torres had put Spain in front when he lunged at a pass from David Silva, with his right foot outstretched, to touch the ball past Isaksson. Sweden veteran Henrik Larsson had shot over the bar and Johan Elmander, who scored against Spain in a qualifying match for Euro 2008, missed two chances before Fredrik Stoor curled a pass from the right to Ibrahimovic in the area in the 34th minute. The Inter Milan striker turned away from marker Sergio Ramos and hit a low shot that just made it under goalkeeper Iker Casillas. Spain controlled early on and it was no surprise when Torres put them ahead with his first goal of the tournament. Silva chipped a diagonal pass into the area toward Joan Capdevila, but Torres stuck out his right foot to intercept and touch it in for his 16th goal in 51 appearances for Spain. Larsson and Johan Elmander both had their chances before Stoor found Ibrahimovic at the far post. Ibrahimovic initially tried to volley Stoor's cross from the right and regained control before shrugging Ramos to the ground. He then swerved to score with a low right-footed shot that Casillas got a hand to but could not keep out. It was the second straight match in which Ibrahimovic had scored, after he ended a near three-year scoring drought in a 2-0 victory against Greece. Villa was in the team despite sustaining a hairline fracture of his right index finger while celebrating the first of his hat-trick goals against Russia, and the Sweden defense kept him under wraps until the 38th minute, when Isaksson had to stop a low shot. Elmander, who started in place of the injured Christian Wilhelmsson, was troubling Spain down the flank but was lucky not to concede a penalty for a nudge on David Silva just before halftime. Markus Rosenberg came on for Ibrahimovic to start the second half, with Sweden not wanting to risk their star player's swollen left knee. There were few clear chances in the second half, and those that came went to Spain. Sweden's attack sorely lacked the physical presence of Ibrahimovic, and Larsson just failed to meet Petter Hansson's cross at the far post in the 79th minute for his team's best opportunity. At the other end, Villa jumped on Silva's rebound in the 63rd minute and fired straight at Isaksson from close range. Villa then recovered the loose ball and centered to find Torres, whose shot was blocked. The teams seemed content with a draw that would have helped both, but Sweden was caught out when Capdevila sent a 40-meter pass over the head of Torres and into the path of Sweden defender Hansson. However, Hansson lost the ball under pressure from Villa, who calmly scored with an angled shot from just inside the area. "We're happy. We had many chances in both halves and we managed to score right at the end," said Spain coach Luis Aragones. "In the second half, we went out looking for the goal and things finally worked out."
David Villa scores an injury time goal to give Spain a 2-1 victory over Sweden. Earlier, Zlatan Ibrahimovic had equalized Fernando Torres' 15th minute opener. The win puts Spain in the last eight and guarantees them top spot in Group D.

By Phil Duncan Follow @@PhilDuncanF1 Lewis Hamilton has come under fire from his hometown council following 'derogatory' and 'unfair' comments he made about Stevenage in the build up to last week's Monaco Grand Prix. Speaking ahead of the race, Hamilton, who was raised in the Hertfordshire town, claimed he was hungrier than his rival for the Formula One title Nico Rosberg because of his humble beginnings. The Briton, who finished second in Sunday’s race, said: ‘I come from a not-so-great place in Stevenage and lived on a couch in my dad’s apartment – and Nico grew up in Monaco with jets and hotels and boats and all these kinds of things – so the hunger is different.’ Under fire: Lewis Hamilton has been criticised by Stevenage MPs for making comments about the town Humble beginnings: Hamilton grew up in Stevenage with his dad before forging a career in Formula One But in response to Hamilton’s comments, Stevenage Councillor Philip Bibby said: ‘I can’t see how he can say such things about the place where he grew up. He needs to remember his roots. ‘The council runs numerous schemes with the aim of providing opportunities for all our young people – from the academic through to the athletic and artistic types. His comments are unfair.’ Howard Burrell, Stevenage’s representative for young people, culture, sport, and leisure, added: ‘I think Stevenage is a great place to grow up and there was no need for Lewis to be so derogatory in his comments. It’s where he came from, after all. ‘I would prefer it if he chose to highlight some of the benefits of coming from our town as he is, without question, the most successful sportsperson we have ever produced. There is no need to say such things about his home town.’ Hamilton trails Rosberg by four points after the German secured victory around the streets of Monte Carlo in this most intense of championship battles. The relationship between the two childhood friends hit rock bottom in the principality after Hamilton believed Rosberg had cheated his way to pole despite the race stewards clearing the German of any wrongdoing. Best of enemies: Hamilton (left) admitted he and team-mate Nico Rosberg (right) are no longer friends A seething Hamilton admitted after the race that he is no longer friends with Rosberg, but Mercedes Toto Wolff believes the intensity between his two drivers is to be expected. ‘It’s an intense relationship but this intensity is normal,’ said Wolff. ‘The racing philosophy of Mercedes is to allow our drivers to compete; we let the boys play with their toys unless they break them. Both drivers know we will not tolerate any incident.’
Lewis Hamilton has been criticised by Phillip Bibby and Howard Burrell for his comments about Stevenage. Hamilton said that he came 'a not-so-great place in Stevenage' Hamilton's comments were in comparison to Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg's background. Hamilton cited that he was hungrier than Rosberg due to the German's lavish upbringing in Monaco. Hamilton has admitted that he and Rosberg are no longer friends.

Australia have ruled paceman Mitchell Johnson out of their plans for the fourth Test against India. Johnson is struggling with a hamstring problem and is effectively being rested by Australia, who carry a 2-0 winning lead into the final match of the series. With one-day matches against England and India to come, followed by the World Cup, Australia are determined to protect the 33-year-old Johnson to ensure he is available for the key matches that lie ahead. Australia's destructive paceman Mitchell Johnson has been ruled out of the fourth Test against India Australia have already won the series 2-0, with the third drawn, and don't want to risk Johnson Australia head coach Darren Lehmann said in a statement from Cricket Australia: 'Mitchell is an important part of our plans for the remainder of our summer and we want him 100 per cent right so won't be taking any risks with him. We believe it is best for Mitchell to take this opportunity to freshen up and get his body fully fit ahead of the Tri Series.' The fourth Test takes place in Sydney from 10.30am on Tuesday Australia physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said: 'Mitchell had some right hamstring soreness during the Boxing Day Test and we have been closely monitoring his recovery since that match but feel he has not fully recovered. Johnson has an on-pitch encounter with India's new Test captain Virat Kohli in Melbourne 'As such, he will not play in the upcoming Sydney Test match. 'We expect him to recover in time to play a part in the upcoming Tri Series against England and India.' Meanwhile, Australia captain Michael Clarke remains hopeful of playing in next month's World Cup after revealing he is ahead of schedule in his recovery from injury. A hamstring injury forced Clarke out of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Test series against India after the opening game in Adelaide in mid-December, allowing Steve Smith to lead the team to a series win with one left to play. The 33-year-old Clarke had initially revealed fears of never playing again, but is now well into the rehabilitation process following surgery, with Australia set to open their World Cup campaign against England on February 14. Injured Australian skipper Michael Clarke speaks with (from left) Mitchell Marsh and Mitchell Stark Clarke, out of the India series with a hamstring injury, has been commentating for Channel Nine In his column for Australia's Daily Telegraph, Clarke wrote: 'I'm a week ahead of schedule in my rehab from hamstring surgery. I've already completed three running sessions and am back riding the bike. 'I'm still looking at being fit by the early stages of the World Cup but I'll ultimately be guided by our medical team.' Clarke has also been enjoying the commentary box vantage point for the series, as Australia drew the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne to clinch the series ahead of this week's final game in Sydney. Arguably the biggest fallout from the third Test was the retirement of Clarke's India counterpart Mahendra Singh Dhoni from the five-day game. Clarke applauds Shaun Marsh after the Australia batsman was run out on 99 in the third Test Clarke on media duties during the drawn third Test against India that clinched the series against India Clarke paid tribute to the Ranchi-born wicketkeeper batsman, saying: 'I can't imagine there would be many jobs in international sport tougher than being the captain of India's cricket team. 'I doubt many have dealt with the expectation, scrutiny, pressure and extreme adoration better than MS Dhoni. 'How Dhoni has managed to hold down the captaincy while playing all three forms of the game and wicketkeeping is beyond me. He's done a wonderful job and I think the hole he has left in the Test team will be hard to fill.' Clarke paid tribute to MS Dhoni, who last act in Test cricket was this handshake to end the drawn Test Showing his athleticism, Dhoni stretches for a sweep shot in his last Test innings before stepping down .

Anchorage, Alaska (CNN) -- It's 3 degrees and snowing outside the Alaska Volcano Observatory in Anchorage, but inside the operations center, things are heating up. Geologist Michelle Coombs monitors the Redoubt volcano from the Alaska Volcano Observatory. "This is kind of the nerve center, if you will," says geologist Michelle Coombs, who is at the helm of a bank of video monitors showing readouts from sensors on Mount Redoubt, a volcano about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage. The sensors measure seismic activity on the volcano's summit. Scientists at the observatory combine that information with data gathered from daily airplane flights to the volcano to measure gases and try to figure out if and when Redoubt is going to blow. "We're seeing lots of little earthquakes right now," says Coombs. "As that magma rises, it breaks rock as it gets to the surface, and it also it gives off gases, and that leads to the seismic activities were seeing now." When the magma, or molten rock, makes it to the surface, the volcano will erupt. A siren goes off, and one of the video monitors goes haywire. Is the mountain erupting? Learn more about Mount Redoubt » "That's just a little alarm. There was just a little bit of increased seismic activity," Coombs says reassuringly. "It's a special kind of earthquake particular to volcanoes called a long-period earthquake. It has more to do with fluid and gases than with breaking rock." Watch Coombs keeping an eye on Redoubt » Since the monitors first showed increased activity on January 23, the observatory has been staffed 24 hours a day. Scientists here are calling in reinforcements; several geologists from the Lower 48 have been making their way north to help. Coombs thinks Redoubt will erupt within days or weeks. No one lives near the mountain, which sits on the Cook Inlet and is largely surrounded by glacier ice. That means there is no direct danger from lava flows, but huge clouds of ash could spread throughout Alaska. When Redoubt last erupted in 1989, it spread ash across Alaska for five months. "Geologists like to use the past as a key to the future, and previous historical eruptions of Redoubt have produced ash clouds of up to 40,000 feet above sea level," says Coombs. She notes that at current weather conditions, "it would take about three hours for that ash to leave the volcano and arrive in Anchorage." The ash is composed largely of silica, which is similar to tiny fragments of glass. Down on the ground, the ash can be dangerous to breath in and can damage cars as their engines draw the ash into their engines. But it is usually a nuisance. However, in the sky, the ash clouds can create very dangerous flying conditions for jets. "For jet aviation, it's a very severe hazard because jet engines run at a very high temperature. And once that silica-rich ash gets ingested into the engine, it can remelt and coat the insides of the engines and freeze up those engines," says Coombs. "That's really the major thing we are trying to avoid here." The day after the 1989 eruption of Redoubt, a 747 flew into an ash cloud near Anchorage and all four engines stalled. The pilot was able to get two of the engines restarted, and the plane landed safely. Coombs says airspace around the volcano and Anchorage may be closed if Redoubt erupts. When the alarms aren't blaring, Coombs sends out the official Twitter feeds from the observatory and tries to stay warm. She is eight months' pregnant. "People have been joking, 'Are you going to name him redoubt?' " she says with a laugh, then shakes her head and gets back to her monitors.
In the cold Alaskan winter, geologist keeps watch on Mount Redoubt. Michelle Coombs thinks the volcano will erupt within days or weeks. The biggest danger could be ash getting in a jetliner's engines. At Alaska Volcano Observatory, they're getting extra help, monitoring 24/7.

(CNN) -- A leading international children's charity has warned that Elton John's desire to adopt a 14-month-old baby boy could lead to more children being abandoned. Elton John kisses baby Lev during his visit to the orphanage in Ukraine on Saturday. The singer, 62, made the announcement during a visit with his partner, 46-year-old David Furnish, to an orphanage for HIV-affected children in Ukraine on Saturday. "David always wanted to adopt and I always said no because I am 62 and I think because of the traveling I do and the life I have, maybe it wouldn't be fair for the child," he told reporters. "But having seen Lev today, I would love to adopt him. I don't know how we do that but he has stolen my heart. And he has stolen David's heart and it would be wonderful if we can have a home. I've changed my mind today." While EveryChild praised the British musician for helping raise awareness of children affected by HIV/AIDS, it said international adoption is sending out the wrong message. James Georgalakis, EveryChild's Communications and Advocacy Manager, told CNN: "Research conducted in the Ukraine in 2007 which showed high-profile celebrity adoptions and news around foreigners coming into the country and adopting children generally was actually encouraging vulnerable young mothers to abandon their children into homes hoping their child would be adopted by a rich foreigner and have a better life. "So it's quite well documented that these high-profile adoptions could actually be increasing the number of children in institutions." Do you think celebrity adoptions are a good thing? According to research by the charity's Web site, 95 percent of the children in Ukraine's institutions are not orphans, with babies born to HIV+ mothers facing particular discrimination. They are separated from their mothers and often end up in children's homes and institutions segregated from children not affected by HIV. It argues that governments such as Ukraine need to be encouraged to put more emphasis on keeping families together rather than placing them in outdated Soviet-era children's homes. "After a great deal of campaigning by charities such as ours, the Ukraine government introduced a new 'gate-keeping' system which means the authorities will have to consider all available options before a child is placed in an institution," Georgalakis said. "So when a child is taken into care or abandoned, they will have look at whether a child has other family or can be fostered by another family for example. This is a huge step forward and one that needs support. "We will definitely be speaking to Elton and his representatives about this." Elton John is the latest high-profile figure to be linked with a case of this kind. Earlier this year, Madonna won a court appeal to adopt a second child from Malawi. Critics of the pop-star accused the pop superstar of taking advantage of "archaic adoption laws" in a bid to adopt three-year-old Chifundo James. Madonna's initial attempt was denied because she did not meet a residency law that requires applicants to have lived in the country for some time before adoption. This condition was waived when Madonna -- and then husband Guy Ritchie -- adopted her first Malawian child, David Banda. The judge in that case said the interest of the child outweighed the issue of residency. Meanwhile, the British Association for Adoption and Fostering said around 4,000 children need to be adopted in UK each year, with many facing a considerable wait. BAAF Chief Executive David Holmes told CNN: "While Elton John may be considered too old under current guidance to adopt a baby in the UK, there are many children, particularly older children, sibling groups, children with disabilities, and children from black minority groups, all waiting for a family. "We'll certainly be reinforcing this message during National Adoption Week in Britain later this year."
Elton John, 62, made announcement during a visit to an orphanage in Ukraine. EveryChild charity believes international adoption sends wrong message. Spokesman: Mothers abandon children in hope they are adopted by foreigners. Madonna recently won appeal to adopt second child from Malawi.

QPR chairman Tony Fernandes has insisted his club can afford not to win promotion to the Premier League, despite debts of £177.1 million. Rangers face Derby County in the Championship play-off final at Wembley on May 24, with Harry Redknapp's side hoping to secure the £120m pay packet of Premier League promotion. But, should QPR return to the top tier at the first attempt, they could be forced to pay out more than half of that in fines under the Football League's Financial Fair Play regulations. We're ready: Queens Park Rangers chairman Tony Fernandes says his club doesn't have to win promotion Off to Wembley: Rangers won their way through to the play-off final after extra-time against Wigan Based on last year's accounts, Rangers would have to pay £62.1m if they are promoted because their £65.4m losses were so far in excess of the £8m allowed by the Football League. Should Redknapp's side stay in the Championship, however, they would be subjected to a transfer embargo. QPR have tried to reduce their wage bill by selling high-earners such as Christopher Samba and sending the likes of Loic Remy and Adel Taarabt out on loan. Improved: Businessman Fernandes says QPR are in a better financial position than two years ago Winner: QPR striker Charlie Austin finds the net to snatch the victory in the play-off second leg Fernandes told talkSPORT: 'Yes, we can (afford not to go up). I'm an accountant by background - although I may not seem it! 'We've told the fans, whether we go up or we don't, we're here for the long term. 'We know what culture we want at the club and we will continue the journey whether we're in the Championship or the Premier League. 'We are a much smarter, much wiser group of people than we were two years ago.' Relief: QPR's bid to reduce their wage bills included off-loading players such as Christopher Samba Major break: Loic Remy (right) went on loan to Newcastle and scored 14 goals for Alan Pardew's side .
Queens Park Rangers have debts of £177.1 million. The club is also set to be hit with fines under Financial Fair Play rules. But chairman Tony Fernandes says they can survive without winning promotion to the Premier League this season. QPR take on Derby in the play-off final at Wembley on May 24.

Another suspected suicide bombing struck the southern Russian city of Volgograd on Monday, killing at least 14 people and further highlighting Russia's security challenges as it prepares to host the Winter Olympics in less than six weeks. The explosion hit a trolleybus near a busy market during the morning rush hour, a day after a blast at Volgograd's main train station killed 17 people and wounded at least 35. Vladmir Markin, a spokesman for the country's federal investigation agency, told the state-run news agency RIA Novosti that both explosions were terrorist attacks. "This strike, which was cynically planned for the period of preparations for New Year's celebrations, is one more attempt by terrorists to open a domestic front, sow panic and chaos, and trigger religious strife and conflicts in Russian society," said a statement Monday by Russia's Foreign Affairs Ministry. "We will not back down and will continue our tough and consistent offensive" against terrorists, the ministry's statement said, adding that such an enemy "can only be stopped by joint efforts" involving the international community. The approaching Olympics No one claimed responsibility for the Volgograd blasts, but they occurred several months after the leader of a Chechen separatist group pledged violence to disrupt the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics that begin on February 7. International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach condemned the bombings as "a despicable attack on innocent people. "The entire international movement joins me in utterly condemning this cowardly act," Bach said in a statement, adding that he wrote Russian President Vladimir Putin to express condolences as well as "our confidence in the Russian authorities to deliver safe and secure Games in Sochi." Meanwhile, the United States offered its "full support to the Russian government in security preparations for the Sochi Olympic Games," National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement. "We would welcome the opportunity for closer cooperation for the safety of the athletes, spectators, and other participants," Hayden said. Volgograd is a major rail hub in southern Russia and a main transit point for people traveling by train to Sochi on the Black Sea, just over 400 miles (645 kilometers) to the southwest. Each day, thousands of passengers use the station in the city once called Stalingrad. Two blasts in two days Video footage from the scene Monday showed the twisted shell of a blue trolleybus, with debris spread around it. The impact of the blast blew out the roof of the bus, as well as windows of several nearby houses. At least 28 people were reported to be wounded, with several in serious condition, including one 6-month-old child, RIA Novosti reported. Based on the footage, the blast appeared to have occurred in the back half of the bus. The federal investigation agency said it believes the explosion was set off by a male suicide bomber. Investigators said the train station blast Sunday also appeared to have been caused by a suicide bomber. Markin told RIA Novosti that DNA testing will be carried out on the remains of the station bomber, who used the equivalent of 22 pounds (10 kilograms) of TNT in a device containing shrapnel. Investigators said they also found an unexploded grenade at the scene. Video taken from an outside security camera showed a huge fireball inside what appears to be the main entrance of the three-story stone building, followed by a steady trail of smoke coming out of shattered windows. Russia's security challenge In July, Doku Umarov, the leader of the Chechen group Caucasus Emirate, released a video statement in which he vowed to unleash "maximum force" to disrupt the games at Sochi. The U.S. State Department considers the Caucasus Emirate a foreign terrorist group and has authorized a reward of up to $5 million for information leading to the location of Umarov. The State Department said Umarov organized a suicide bombing outside the Chechen Interior Ministry in May 2009. His group also claimed responsibility for the 2011 bombing of Domodedovo Airport in Moscow that killed 36 people, the 2010 bombings of the Moscow subway that killed 40 and the 2009 bombing of the high-speed Nevsky Express train in which 28 people died. In October, a bomber blew up a passenger bus in Volgograd, killing six people and wounding more than 30 others. Russian media reported that a female Islamist suicide bomber from the Russian region of Dagestan was responsible for that attack. "Most of the militants responsible for terrorist attacks in Russia over the last decade -- including female suicide bombers who have taken part in 20 attacks claiming at least 780 lives since June 2000 -- have come from Dagestan," RIA Novosti reported Monday. The two young men behind the Boston Marathon bombings lived briefly in Dagestan before coming to the United States, and one of them visited the area the year before the attack. "Radical Islamist groups tied to the war against the Russian state now have much deeper roots, and are far more active, in Dagestan than in Chechnya," Rajan Menon, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, wrote in a CNN.com column. What might be behind the attacks? Putin has maintained that the Sochi games will be safe and security will be tight. Visitors to Sochi and the surrounding area are subjected to rigorous security checks, and vehicle license plates are monitored. "This will probably be one of the most difficult Olympics to actually go as a spectator and watch the Games because of the myriad layers of security," Republican Rep. Michael Grimm of New York told CNN on Monday. Other parts of Russia However, the Volgograd explosions showed the challenge that Russian authorities face in policing the rest of the country amid ongoing unrest in the North Caucasus. That region includes Chechnya, where Russia fought two wars against separatist movements, and Dagestan. With tight security around Sochi itself, terrorists are believed to be focusing on other parts of the North Caucasus and southern Russia. RIA Novosti reported a car bomb killed three people on Friday in Pyatigorsk in southern Russia, about 160 miles (270 kilometers) east of Sochi. "Rarely do you actually have a terrorist group come out and say, 'We're going to try and disrupt these games,'" CNN national security analyst Fran Townsend said Monday. "When al Qaeda-related affinity groups make these sort of statements, you've got to take them at their word." The fact that the bombers are targeting transportation is "not lost on Olympic Committee organizers and security officials," she added. Athletes are "most vulnerable" when moving between the Olympic Village and the sites of their events, she said. Townsend, who coordinated with Greek officials before the Olympics in Athens in 2004, said security officials all over the world will be asking Russia for detailed information about these attacks, including whether there were any indications or warnings. They'll also ask about what information Russian intelligence has on the capabilities of terrorist groups to pull off further attacks.
U.S. legislator says spectators will face tight Olympics security. Russia's foreign ministry vowed a continued "tough" offensive against terrorism. Two terrorist bombings hit Volgograd, killing more than 30 people. The attacks raised concerns about security at the Olympics in February.

After 14 years of undernourishment and overcrowding, Elena, Kaitlyn and Alyssa heard the roar of other rescued African lions Wednesday at their spacious new home in Colorado. The siblings arrived earlier in the day at the Wild Animal Sanctuary, about 30 miles northeast of Denver, officials said. The lionesses had spent their entire lives in a fairgrounds zoo in La Chorrera, outside Panama City. The sanctuary helped rescue the lionesses at the behest of the Panamanian government and its National Environmental Authority (ANAM), said Pat Craig, executive director of the sanctuary in Keenesburg. The lionesses, at 200 to 225 pounds, weigh about half of what they should. "Nobody really took care of them," Craig said. "They got no medical attention." Non-governmental organizations ran the fairgrounds for years as a way to raise money, Craig said. The lions usually were housed in a 6-foot-by-8-foot concrete and steel cage in a zoo at the fairgrounds. "These three girls didn't have a family structure," Craig said. "It was more or less that they were isolated for (nearly) 15 years." Wednesday afternoon, they were in a 1,500-square-foot temporary area at the sanctuary. "They are in their enclosure, and they are resting comfortably," according to Craig. "They are enjoying the space." He expects that the lionesses will eventually join a pride of African lions that were rescued in Bolivia. "African lions are the only cats that have a strong instinct to live together," Craig said. One of the big cats, Elena, is named for Elena Castejon, who actively assists with animal rescues in Panama. On several visits to the zoo, Castejon noticed the animals had to depend on rain or leftover cleaning water to quench their thirst. The carnivores, she said, largely depended on scraps from a slaughterhouse for sustenance. Zoo visitors often bothered the animals and rattled their cages in the wee hours of the night. "It was horrible," she said. Castejon credits ANAM with getting the large cats removed from the fairgrounds. The zoo also featured gnus, deer, crocodiles and turtles. After a protracted legal battle, the zoo was closed, with a mountain lion, two jaguars and an ocelot being temporarily cared for at Summit Zoo in Panama City. Jorge Garcia, a biologist and wildlife technician with ANAM, said the animals were being kept without proper permits. Over two weeks, La Chorrera hosts one of the biggest fairs in Panama, Garcia said, with school groups visiting the zoo the remainder of the year. Because groups that sponsored the fair and zoo changed every two years, he said, it was difficult for the government to force organizers to make improvements. It's important for government and animal rights groups to work together, Garcia said. "We need to make alliances." In February, 25 lions rescued from harrowing conditions at circuses in Bolivia were flown to the Colorado sanctuary, where they live uncaged. The flight, part of an Animal Defenders International operation, followed the passage of a Bolivia 2009 law that bans the use of any animals in circuses. The sanctuary built an 80-acre fenced site for the Bolivian lions, which are split into four prides, Craig said. "They all have practically doubled their weight" in the past seven months. The 720-acre sanctuary of rolling grasslands, split into habitats, houses about 300 large carnivores, including bears, tigers and other big cats. Most of the lions have a lifespan of about 21 to 23 years, double their expected longevity in the wild. That's largely because they have no predators or competition from within their population. Lionesses receive estrogen implants so they won't go into heat. That also reduces the competition and fighting among males. FedEx carried the felines from Panama to Memphis, Tennessee, on Tuesday and then to Denver early Wednesday.
Three sister lions are rescued from zoo at fairgrounds in Panama. Underweight siblings lived in a small concrete and metal enclosure. They were flown to animal sanctuary in Colorado. They already can hear the roars of other big cats.

Acid attack victim turned TV presenter Katie Piper has announced her engagement. The 31-year-old shared her happy news on Twitter this morning where she told fans her carpenter boyfriend James had got down on one knee. She tweeted: 'So excited to tell you all.............. I became someone's fiancé last night! I'm engaged to be married :)'. Scroll down for video Katie Piper has announced her engagement to carpenter boyfriend James on Twitter this morning She posted the tweet on Saturday morning where she told fans she is due to be married after proposal last night It is thought the pair dressed up for a romantic evening and a three-course dinner at their home in London yesterday. She posted a picture on Instagram last night of her meal of baked cod capers, cooked by her now fiance and father of their baby daughter, Belle Elizabeth, who was born in March this year. Alongside the pictures she wrote: 'Pretending we are going out for dinner! Cooking 3 course meal, dressed in our best clothes- all taking place at our kitchen table! Parents night in/out #nobabysitterneeded.' With her second snap she posted: 'I think my boyfriend has potential as a chef! Baked Cod with Capers,' before making the big announcement on Twitter today. The presenter posted this image on her Instagram last night where she told fans she was enjoying a three course meal at home with her boyfriend Katie gave birth to baby daughter Belle Elizabeth in March this year. Her due date was Thursday, March 27, 2014 - the date of the six-year anniversary of when she was raped by her ex-boyfriend Danny Lynch The couple met after being set up by friend Juliet, who gave James her number. They shared their first phone call, which Katie admits was 'nervous and stilted' but they soon started to relax, telling each other about their jobs. The pair arranged to meet up for a drink and a trip to the cinema. 'I figured that if he did turn out to be a starer, at least going to the cinema would keep his eyes elsewhere,' Katie said. 'James was chatty, witty and looked me squarely in the eye. He never once mentioned my burns, and because he didn’t, I didn’t either. 'He didn’t even stare at them, so I didn’t feel self-conscious. He had me relaxed and buzzing with confidence.' Katie, pictured at the TV Choice Awards in September, left, and at the Pride of Britain Awards in October, right The couple soon started dating and became official before finding out they were expecting a baby in March, this year. Katie was just 24 when her ex-boyfriend Danny Lynch organised for a man to throw industrial-strength sulphuric acid in her face. At the time, her modelling career was taking off and she had recently been crowned Miss Winchester in a beauty pageant. She had also begun presenting on small digital television channels, primarily shopping channels, and decided to leave her parents' home in Hampshire for the capital. It was here she met Lynch - a martial arts enthusiast - who had been tracking her media and modelling career closely. In October, the acid attack survivor was awarded an honorary degree at Anglia Ruskin University, in Chelmsford, Essex (left) and right pictured earlier this year He approached her on Facebook and the pair decided to meet up in person in Reading, where Katie was working at the time. But two weeks into the relationship, the couple booked into a hotel in Bayswater following a meal out, where Lynch raped, beat her and stabbed her several times in the arms. After eight hours in the hotel they drove back to her flat in Golders Green and she later sought medical treatment, though she was too scared to tell doctors what had really happened. Two days later, he persuaded her to go into an internet cafe to read an email he had sent to her Facebook account, where outside her flat she was approached by a man in a hoodie. She thought the man - Stefan Sylvestre, who Lynch hired to carry out the attack - was going to ask for money but instead he threw the liquid in her face. Katie, pictured before the attack left, and right during her recovery after she had acid thrown in her face Katie has gone on to present television programmes, while her ex Danny Lynch has been jailed for 12 years Writing in the Daily Mail after the attack, she said: 'When the large cupful of acid hit my smooth, soft, line-free skin, trickling down my throat and partially blinding me, he almost succeeded in extinguishing the last of the old Katie. Almost. 'In the aftermath, I was horrified by my own reflection, barely recognising the image of myself in the mirror. I would play back memories of all the relationships I’d ever had, trying to ingrain in my mind what it felt like to hold hands, to kiss. 'I was sure I’d never be attractive to anyone again, never be intimate. Never be loved.' The attack was caught on CCTV and both Lynch and Sylvestre were arrested and given two life sentences - Lynch will serve a minimum of 12 years. She has since endured more than 100 operations to rebuild her face and set up the Katie Piper Foundation to raise awareness of the issues facing burns victims. Katie has also taken part in a number of documentaries and written her autobiography.
Katie Piper made her 'exciting' announcement this morning on Twitter. James is believed to have proposed at their London home last night. She posted pictures of a three course meal and her dressed up yesterday.

(CNN) -- The family of a U.S. citizen who was detained last week in North Korea said Monday they are "anxious for his return," according to a written statement. The family of Jeffrey Fowle, 56, said: "Jeffrey loves to travel and loves the adventure of experiencing different cultures and seeing new places." Fowle has been married for 14 years and has three children, the statement said. According to CNN affiliate WDTN, he was detained for leaving a Bible where he was staying. "Mrs. Fowle and the children miss Jeffrey very much and are anxious for his return home," the family said. They confirmed Fowle, who is from Miamisburg, Ohio, was part of a tour group that went to North Korea. On Friday, the secretive state, without going into detail, said through a state-run news agency that Fowle had been detained for breaking a law. The U.S. State Department said it was "aware of reports that a third U.S. citizen was detained in North Korea." But it declined to provide any further information, saying it couldn't share details about specific cases without written consent from an individual. Other Americans held North Korea said in late April it was holding a different American man, who it said came to the country seeking asylum. He tore his tourist visa and shouted that "he would seek asylum" and "came to the DPRK (North Korea) after choosing it as a shelter," state-run news agency KCNA said. KCNA identified that man as Miller Matthew Todd, who it says was taken into custody on April 10. American sources identified him as Matthew Todd Miller. The U.S. State Department said at the time that it was aware of the report and had been in touch with Sweden, which represents American interests in North Korea, about the matter. It declined to disclose any further information. North Korea is also holding Kenneth Bae, a Korean-American missionary who was sentenced to 15 years hard labor in 2013 by a court that said he had carried out acts aimed at bringing down the regime of leader Kim Jong Un. Although North Korea contains a number of state-controlled churches, the totalitarian regime forbids independent religious activities, viewing them as potential threats to its authority.

A seven-bedroom castle complete with medieval ruins and even its very own ghost has gone on the rental market for just £1,500 a month. Bellister Castle, on the outskirts of Haltwhistle, Northumberland, features striking turrets, stone ramparts and views across the Tynedale Valley, and is available through the National Trust for £346 per week. For seven occupants the price would work out at a mere £214 per month each, but any would-be residents would have to share their spacious home with the 'Grey Man' - the ghost of a minstrel said to have been unjustly accused of being a spy. Bellister Castle, which has seven bedrooms, medieval ruins and even its very own ghost has gone on the market for just £1,500 a month The castle, on the outskirts of Haltwhistle, Northumberland, features 14th century ruins, striking turrets, stone ramparts and views across the Tynedale Valley, and is available through the National Trust for £346 per week Legend has it that the musician had called at the castle and afforded food and a night's rest, only for the lord of the castle to become suspicious of him. Picking up on his host's hostile manner, the minstrel left the castle instead of retiring to bed - which for the lord's confirmed his suspicions, and he set his hunting dogs to go after him. But the dogs tore the musician limb from limb, and to this day he is said to haunt the castle grounds, with some guests reporting hearing the sound of baying hounds and a man screaming. The grounds are also home to an old sycamore, known as the hanging tree, where royalist Cavaliers during the civil war are said to have executed defeated parliamentary troops, known as Roundheads. Inside the spacious seven-bedroom property is more modern than its outward appearance would suggest The castle, which boasts this large kitchen, has been owned by the National Trust since 1976, and is available to rent unfurnished on a long-term contract subject to a £2,500 deposit The property is part of the Bellister Estate, which was owned by Robert de Ros and his descendants from 1191 to 1295, with the castle boasting more modern comforts than the 14th century ruins it is attached to The property is part of the Bellister Estate, which was owned by Robert de Ros and his descendants from 1191 to 1295, with the castle boasting more modern comforts than the 14th century ruins it is attached to. It has been owned by the National Trust since 1976, and is available to rent unfurnished on a long-term contract subject to a £2,500 deposit.

There were no plans by Prime Minister Tony Abbott to send any of his ministers to global climate negotiations in Peru this week but Julie Bishop quickly got that changed. Initially, a proposal by the deputy leader of the Liberal Party, to represent Australia at the overseas summit was blocked but Ms Bishop pressed on and eventually got her way after the full cabinet supported her bid. The Sydney Morning Herald says the minister for Foreign Affairs will arrive in Peru's capital, Lima, on Tuesday to meet with close to 200 other countries. She will talk international climate policy ahead of next year's 2015 Paris conference, which is being held to achieve a universal agreement on climate change, from all the nations of the world. There were no plans by Prime Minister Tony Abbott (pictured left) to send any of his ministers to global climate negotiations in Peru this week but an uproar by Julie Bishop (pictured right) saw the decision reversed The effort to bypass Prime Minister Tony Abbott (pictured) on global climate talks in Peru, shows evidence of latest tensions brewing in the government between Mr Abbott and his ministers. A recent poll has also shown voters lack confidence in the government on climate change It's believed the request was approved only on the proviso Ms Bishop take another minister with her as a 'chaperone' which is trade minister Andrew Robb. In an interview with the Australian Financial Review before leaving, Ms Bishop said Australia needed to be represented at a ministerial level at the summit to show the country was taking the negotiations seriously. 'I think we need some successful outcomes, or some solid outcomes to set everyone up for productive negotiations throughout 2015 for an effective agreement at the end of the year,' she said.

Government attempts to play down climate change at the G20 summit recently held in Brisbane also backfired with the issue being highlighted even more. The Sydney Morning Herald has revealed that despite ministers repeatedly warning the Prime Minister's office against trying to shut down climate change discussions, advice was ignored. The re-visiting of Ms Bishops proposal to travel to Lima was a clear demonstration the cabinet wanted to get it right on climate change and put the controversial issue on the agenda unlike the G20.
A proposal by Julie Bishop, originally blocked, to travel to Peru for climate change talks was approved. The Foreign Affairs minister appealed to the full cabinet and the decision made by Tony Abbott was reversed. Ms Bishop will arrive in Lima on Tuesday to meet with around 200 countries to talk international climate policy. A recent poll indicated voters have little confidence in the Abbott government on climate change.
