The finish might have been uncharacteristically scruffy, scored after his first shot came back off the keeper, but it was a landmark goal for Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp on Saturday as he made it 400 goals for Barcelona in a 2-0 win over Valencia. Messi scored with the last kick and Luis Suarez scored with practically his first, putting Barcelona 1-0 up after just 56 seconds. Between the two strikes Claudio Bravo saved a Dani Parejo penalty as Valencia dominated the first half but they couldn't make their pressure tell. For Messi, still only 27, it was another milestone. 'I hope to score many more,' he wrote on his Facebook page. Lionel Messi (left), Luis Suarez (centre) and Neymar celebrate Suarez's goal in the first minute for Barcelona against Valencia . Suarez (left) lashed the ball in after neat play from Messi to continue his fine form for Barcelona . Valencia enjoyed a better first half, despite the scoreline and captain Dani Parejo missed a penalty in the ninth minute . Bravo celebrates his penalty save but Barcelona were fortunate to take a lead into half time . Messi tapped in Barcelona's second goal in stoppage time to seal the victory over Valencia . The Argentine has reached the 400 goal total in just 471 games with 309 goals in the league, 75 in the Champions League and 32 in the Copa del Rey. Goals in the World Club Cup and the Spanish and European Super Cup have also made up the stratospheric total. He also has 141 assists to his name in those 471 matches. Afterwards Luis Enrique said: ‘Messi gave us what he always gives us. But it’s not just about him it’s about the whole forward line and the whole team.’ Suarez was once again decisive after his two goals in midweek against PSG in the Champions League and he is now just six games from picking up a league winners medal in his first season. The early strike would have counted for nothing however if Valencia had made their first-half domination pay and had Bravo not stopped that eighth-minute penalty. As Messi raced from inside his own half to get the late late second, Enrique could be seen jumping up and down in the technical area long before the ball was in the back of the net. He knows what a major hurdle his side have now cleared. The victory sees Luis Enrique's side move five points away from Real Madrid, who take on Malaga later on Saturday . Messi skips past two Valencia challenges as Barcelona secured an important win against La Liga's fourth placed side . Messi attempts an acrobatic kick for Barcelona against Valencia in the La Liga encounter at the Nou Camp on Saturday . Barcelona were ahead inside the first minute with a move that swept from one end of the pitch to the other starting with Bravo releasing the ball quickly and finishing with a first time finish from Suarez past Diego Alves into far corner. Between the two Barca moved the ball quickly with Sergi Busquets releasing Messi and his pass poked home by the Uruguayan who has now scored 12 goals in his last 12 games. Far from being shell-shocked by the early set-back Valencia unleashed the big guns and Barcelona were under-fire for the rest of the first half. Paco Alcacer and Rodrigo both went close and were running an out-of-sorts Gerard Pique ragged. On eight minutes Valencia should have equalized. Rodrigo went down easily under a half challenge from Pique. It was a generous spot-kick and Bravo got down well to Parejo’s kick to save it. With a full Camp Nou sensing that a win here would be a huge step towards the title for Barcelona, and Valencia in a scrap of their own to finish in the top four the game was being played at cup final pace. Parejo flattened Busquets who for once he didn't need to exaggerate the fall as he crashed to ground. And full-back Orban risked a first half sending off with foul after foul. He was shown a yellow and never appeared for the second period. Adding to the drama was the panic in Barcelona’s defence. Pique was either failing to stay on his feet or giving the ball to Valencia forwards. The falling down was contagious with Adriano – another who didn’t come out for the second half – also losing his footing despite the perfect playing conditions. Neymar (right) attempts a diving header for Barcelona as his side looked to increase their lead at the top of La Liga . Barcelona have a five-point lead over Madrid, who could cut the deficit to two points with victory over Malaga . Alcacer continued to threaten. It’s not difficult to see why on-loan Manchester City forward Alvaro Negredo, who Valencia are obliged to buy this summer, cannot get a game at the moment. It is also why many Spain supporters think Diego Costa should not be Vicente Del Bosque’s first choice. Alcacer led the line and with Sofiane Feghouli and Rodrigo buzzing around him. Valencia gave Barcelona more problems than any visiting side at the Nou Camp this season. Alcacer came the closest in what remained of the first half making room for a shot from the edge of the area and hitting the base of Bravo’s post but Barca remained a threat on the break. In their best move Messi and Suarez linked with Neymar who pulled the ball back to Xavi instead of finishing. The midfielder set-up Messi and his shot flashed wide. Games at the Nou Camp can be like bull fights that used to be held in Catalonia before they were banned. Everyone in the arena knows the bull loses, it’s just a matter of when. But Valencia had worn the horns in the first half and Barcelona were relieved to get down the tunnel at half time still in one piece and still 1-0 up. The second half brought more calm to a Barcelona defence that now had Mascherano back alongside Pique after his first half spent in midfield. Valencia carried less threat and Barca went close with Neymar heading wide and Messi hitting the bar with a free-kick. He won a the kick with a brilliant run away from Parejo who up-ended him and his effort beat Diego Alves but not the frame of the goal. With 25 minutes left he moved to centre-forward as Suarez was taken off. There was no Neymar style sulk as he made his way off to a thunderous reception from the home fans. He goes into Tuesday’s game against PSG looking for his 20th goal of what has been an excellent first season. Negredo replaced Alcacer and immediately Valencia had their best chance of the second half with Bravo palming away Rodrigo’s shot. But there was to be no reward for all their fire and invention and when Messi raced clear to score the second with the last kick of the game it was all over in every sense.

Luis Suarez scored Barcelona's opening goal against Valencia in the first minute of the game . Claudio Bravo kept out a tame penalty from Valencia captain Dani Parejo in the ninth . Lionel Messi sealed the three points with one of the final kicks of the game .

Doctors solved the mystery behind an Arkansas man's kidney failure after discovering he loved downing a gallon of iced tea every day. Medical professionals at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock ruled out several causes for a 56-year-old man's kidney problems before blaming the 16 cups of iced tea he drank daily. Black tea has high levels of oxalate, a chemical known to produce kidney stones and even lead to kidney failure if consumed in excessive doses. Scroll down for video . Toxic tea: Medical professionals at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock blamed a 56-year-old man's kidney problems on the 16 cups of iced tea he drank daily . 'It was the only reasonable explanation,' said Dr Umbar Ghaffar of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, who wrote about the patient in an article for the New England Journal of Medicine. The man was admitted to the hospital in May complaining of nausea, weakness, fatigue and body aches. The chemical oxalate was found to have clogged the man's kidneys, to the point that they had become inflamed. With a habit of drinking about 16 8-ounce cups of iced tea every day, the unidentified man was consuming anywhere from 3 to 10 times the amount an average American takes in. The 16-daily-cups habit was striking on its own, since federal studies have found that the average US adult drinks about 10 to 11 cups of liquid every day, including water, coffee and other beverages. Ghaffar said she didn't know whether the man was drinking sweet tea, a concoction made from black tea and a hefty serving of sugar that is popular in the South, though he was diabetic. The New England Journal of Medicine has cited black tea in health issues before, publishing a 2013 case that found a 47-year-old woman had developed a bone disease from drinking a pitcher of tea made from 100 to 150 bags of tea every day. The Arkansas man's case, however, does not suggest health risks for most people, according to Dr Randy Luciano, a Yale School of Medicine kidney specialist. 'I wouldn't tell people to stop drinking tea,' said Luciano, who has treated patients with oxalate-related kidney damage. That man drank 'a lot of tea.'

Doctors at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences found a 56-year-old man's kidney problems stemmed from drinking too much iced tea . Black tea contains oxalate, a chemical known to produce kidney stones and sometimes lead to kidney failure . The unidentified man will likely spend the rest of his life in dialysis .

Cardinal Francis George was remembered Thursday as a man of deep faith, intellect and compassion as Catholics said their final goodbyes to the man who led the nation's third-largest archdiocese and was known as a vigorous defender of Roman Catholic orthodoxy. George also didn't hesitate to speak his mind, even if it was unscripted and, at times, controversial, said Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain, who delivered the homily at a packed funeral Mass at Chicago's Holy Name Cathedral. 'The cardinal's faith was simple, direct, without pretense or embarrassment,' Sartain said. 'He was so utterly a Christian that no circumstance seemed inappropriate for him to give witness to Christ.'

Transported: The casket carrying Cardinal Francis George leaves the church after his funeral Mass . George, a Chicago native, died Friday at age 78, of kidney cancer. He was to be buried Thursday in his family's plot at All Saints Cemetery in nearby Des Plaines. After being appointed by Pope John Paul II in 1997 to lead the Chicago Archdiocese, George earned a reputation as an intellectual leader and a leading figure in some of the most prominent events in the U.S. Church. At the height of the abuse crisis in 2002, George led a group of U.S. bishops who persuaded resistant Vatican officials to more quickly oust guilty priests — a policy at the core of reforms meant to restore trust in church leaders. He also oversaw the contentious new English-language translation of the Roman Missal, one of the biggest changes in Catholic worship in generations.

And in his three years as president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, George spearheaded opposition to the Affordable Care Act, arguing that the health insurance law would allow taxpayer money to fund abortion. The Chicago archdiocese's charitable arm helped sue the Obama administration in 2012 over the requirement that employers cover the cost of contraception. George retired last fall before announcing his treatment for kidney cancer had failed. He was replaced by Archbishop Blase Cupich. Hundreds of clergy from around the country, plus Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner joined lay Catholics at Thursday's services, which followed three days of visitation. Lolita Slaughter of suburban Bolingbrook said the funeral Mass was 'beautiful, and such a great home-going for the cardinal,' whom she regarded as a steady and stabilizing force. 'I love the way he led the Church even through the controversies,' said Slaughter, 48. 'He helped Catholics come together.'

The skylines of the world, an African desert and even the barren landscape of the Arctic have been reimagined as part of an annual skyscraper competition. More than 480 design teams submitted entries to eVolo Magazine's 2015 contest and a jury of experts chose three winners and awarded 15 other designs with honorable mentions from 480 global entries. The first place was awarded to a Polish group called Bomp for its 'natural habitat' Essence Skyscraper, beating the designs for a giant 'Times Squared 3015' concept at the heart of Times Square, a Bio-Pyramid in the Sahara and Cybertopia - a project that blurs the lines between digital and physical worlds. The eVolo Magazine Skyscraper Competition was established in 2006 to recognise 'outstanding ideas for vertical living'. The first place in this year's contest was awarded to a team of Polish designers for its project Essence Skyscraper (shown). The main body of the building is divided into 11 natural landscapes including open floor plans, water floors, fish tanks lifted up to 98 feet (30 metres) above ground, and jungle areas . The eVolo awards were established in 2006 to recognise 'outstanding ideas for vertical living'. Since then, the publication has received more than 6,000 projects that use technology, materials, designs and space in novel and challenging ways to question how 'we understand vertical architecture and its relationship with the natural and built environments.' eVolo said the winners were selected for their 'creativity, ingenuity, and understanding of dynamic and adaptive vertical communities.' The first place this year was awarded to Bomp -  a team comprising of designers Ewa Odyjas, Agnieszka Morga, Konrad Basan, and Jakub Pudo - from Poland for the project Essence Skyscraper. The eVolo awards were established in 2006 to recognise 'outstanding ideas for vertical living'. eVolo said the winners were selected for their 'creativity, ingenuity, and understanding of dynamic and adaptive vertical communities.' First place: Essence Skyscraper by Ewa Odyjas, Agnieszka Morga, Konrad Basan, and Jakub Pudo - from Poland. The proposal is an urban mega-structure with a range of natural habitats. Second place: Shanty-Scraper by Suraksha Bhatla and Sharan Sundar from India. The project wanted to provide housing, work and recreational spaces to the inhabitants of Chennai city’s slum in India. Third place: Cybertopia by Egor Orlov from Russia. His design reimagines the city of the future as the combination of digital and physical worlds - a city that grows and morphs instantly according to its residents needs. The proposal is an urban mega-structure with a range of natural habitats. The designers said their design 'would serve as a place to briefly escape urban life and stimulate diverse and complex experiences.' The main body of the building is divided into 11 natural landscapes including open floor plans, water floors, fish tanks lifted up to 98 feet (30 metres) above ground, and jungle areas. Second place went to Suraksha Bhatla and Sharan Sundar from India for their Shanty-Scraper. The project wanted to provide housing, work and recreational spaces to the inhabitants of Chennai city’s slum in India. It was designed to use debris from the city's construction industry including pipes, corrugated metal sheets and timber. The designers explained: 'India’s Slum population is expected to surge to 104 million, or 9 per cent of the national population by 2017. 'As the nation’s disparity between the rich and poor deepens, the number of people living below poverty line has doubled over the last decade. 'Shanty-Scraper aspires to provide a unique solution. The vertical squatter structure is comprised of post-construction debris [and] the double height semi enclosures serve as utility yards and social gathering spaces.' They said that the 'lifts' are divided into multiple plank platforms made from a simple mechanically-driven lever and pulley. Third place was awarded to Egor Orlov from Russia for his project Cybertopia which reimagines the city of the future as the combination of digital and physical worlds - 'a city that grows and morphs instantly according to its residents needs.' He explained: '"Tomorrow" we expect a completely different topography of the city. 'It will be a map which includes cyber worlds with intrinsic geography, laws of physics, qualities and even its own residents. It is as though landscapes of computer games have woven into the city space. 'The residential area of the skyscraper represents a constantly growing and developing spatial complex...printed by 3D printer or by drone construction. Second place went to Suraksha Bhatla and Sharan Sundar from India for their Shanty-Scraper (concept drawings shown left and right). The project wanted to provide housing, work and recreational spaces to the inhabitants of Chennai city’s slum in India. It was designed, in particular, to use debris from the city construction industry including pipes, corrugated metal sheets and timber . The Bio-Pyramid: Reversing Desertification design (pictured) was created by David Sepulveda, Wagdy Moussa, Ishaan Kumar, Wesley Townsend, Colin Joyce, Arianna Armelli and Salvador Juarez from the US. They said it is a non-conventional skyscraper that not only operates as a 'bio-sphere' but also as a gateway from Cairo across the Sahara Desert . Meanwhile, the Noah Oasis: Rig to Vertical Bio-Habitat (pictured) was created by Chinese designers Ma Yidong, Zhu Zhonghui, Qin Zhengyu and Jiang Zhe. 'Our design transforms the original rigs into vertical bio-habitats, which aims to exert instant response to oil spills, restore damaged eco-systems and offer shelter from future disasters,' the team said . The 15 honorable mentions include skyscrapers designed for the arctic, structures that intend to reverse desertification, abandoned oil rigs transformed into bio-habitats, and atmosphere laboratories among others. The third place was awarded to Egor Orlov from Russia for 'Cybertopia'. It reimagines the city of the future as the combination of digital and physical worlds - 'a city that grows and morphs instantly according to its residents needs' These include the Bio-Pyramid: Reversing Desertification, created by David Sepulveda, Wagdy Moussa, Ishaan Kumar, Wesley Townsend, Colin Joyce, Arianna Armelli and Salvador Juarez from the US. They said their Bio-Pyramid is a non-conventional skyscraper that not only operates as a 'bio-sphere' but also as a gateway from Cairo across the Sahara Desert. The Unexpected Aurora in Chernobyl design was submitted by Zhang Zehua, Song Qiang and Liu Yameng from China. This project aims to build a skyscraper for people who return to Chernobyl and is fitted with air and water purification systems. The skyscraper itself is powered by solar energy. 'The skyscraper is just like a Garden of Eden, a new and safe life will start from here,' the designers said. Exploring Arctic: Multifunctional Complex in Dikson Harbour is based on transforming an Arctic hub port. 'It is necessary to create comfortable working and living environment of the Northern Sea Route transport infrastructure,' said designers Nikolay Zaytsev and Elizaveta Lopatina from Russia. 'The initial idea is to design a separate anthropogenic microcosm, detached from the harsh Arctic environment, but based on the dynamic equilibrium between people and nature. Instead of building on the ground, one entry imagined a structure built into the clouds to control the weather. Called Cloud Capture, Taehan Kim, Seoung Ji Lee and Yujin Ha from Korea said their design would catch and redistribute clouds 'where they are affluent to scarce'. This could transform the 'arid-yellow deserts into fresh green spaces'. A similar design was submitted by Shi Yuqing, Hu Yifei, Zhang Juntong, Sheng Zifeng and He Yanan from China called Air Monument: Atmosphere Database. They said the structure would obtain atmosphere samples throughout the year to monitor changes and highlight any concerns. Meanwhile, the Noah Oasis: Rig to Vertical Bio-Habitat was created by Chinese designers Ma Yidong, Zhu Zhonghui, Qin Zhengyu and Jiang Zhe. 'Our design transforms the original rigs into vertical bio-habitats, which aims to exert instant response to oil spills, restore damaged eco-systems and offer shelter from future disasters,' the team said. 'The original rig will become a reactor centre, where the spilled oil will be converted into catalyst and building materials, as well as a recreational centre and research facility.' Underwater, the structure will be secured to pipes. And in the US, a group of designers proposed a self-contained city featuring a stadium, forest, farm and beach on the top of a mile-high skyscraper in New York City.

It was designed by Blake Freitas, Grace Chen and Alexi Kararavokris. The group said that as the planet continues to overpopulate, their entry explores spatial, environmental and experimental possibilities of vertical living. The proposed community would usher in a 'new kind of daily life', where farmers tended to crops which provided oxygen and food, visitors attend a football game by catching an elevator to the third floor and residents walk through a redwood forest thousands of feet above the city. The 2015 Skyscraper Competition was sponsored by Autodesk, real5D, and v2com and was judged by a panel including architects Massimiliano Fuksas and Benedetta Tagliabue and last year's winner Yong Ju Lee.

Emmanuel Adebayor is sometimes branded 'eccentric' by pundits, writers and fans alike. After the Tottenham forward posted a video of himself performing a strange jig in front of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, it is not hard to see why. The bizarre post on Adebayor's official Instagram account emerged on Sunday, just a few days after the Togo international had taken to Twitter to insist he was committed to fighting for his place in the Spurs team. Adebayor has one year left to run on his current contract at White Hart Lane, but his inconsistent form has led to few assurances over his future. Maverick Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor performs a strange dance in front of the Arc de Triomphe . The Togo international posted the video of him dancing in front of the Paris landmark on his Instagram account . He joined Spurs in 2011 from Manchester City, initially on loan before an impressive first season tally of 18 goals, convinced the club to make the switch permanent for £5million the following summer. Since then, however, Adebayor's goal return has become significantly more modest and he has not scored in the league for Spurs since the 2-1 defeat to Newcastle back in October. Factor in the remarkable rise of academy graduate Harry Kane and it is easy to see why some sections of supporters have written Adebayor off as surplus to requirements.

(CNN)The best part of the Supreme Court oral arguments about marriage equality was when Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg alluded to S&M. OK, she didn't actually mention S&M, but Ginsburg talked about how the institution of marriage has already changed from long ago, when it was "a dominant and a subordinate relationship." "Yes, it was marriage between a man and a woman, but the man decided where the couple would be domiciled," said Ginsburg. "It was her obligation to follow him." Mary Bonauto, the attorney arguing on behalf of the four same-sex couples who petitioned the Supreme Court, said in response: "That's correct. ... For centuries we had and Europe had this coverture system where a woman's legal identity was absorbed into that of her husband and men and women had different prescribed legal roles. And again, because of equality and changing social circumstances, all of those gender differences in the rights and responsibilities of the married pair have been eliminated." Once upon a time, wives were the legal property of their husbands and "marital rape" was not only not a crime but not even a concept. To argue that the definition of marriage has not changed since then is either willfully ignorant or woefully naïve. Justice Anthony Kennedy, widely believed to be the key swing vote amidst a court otherwise generally evenly divided along ideological lines, at one point referred to "the nobility and the sacredness of marriage." Which is true, if you ignore the history of its past and the reality of infidelity in the present. If anything, the nobility and sacredness of marriage need protecting from straight people. One downside to arguing that marriage has "always been" between a man and a woman is that, therefore, any problems in the institution of marriage are also plainly the responsibility of heterosexual couples, too. The one justice who didn't ask a question is Clarence Thomas, who, with one slight exception, has now gone over nine years without a single inquiry from the bench. It should be carefully noted here that Thomas is a black man married to a white woman. Anti-miscegenation laws banning interracial marriage were first introduced in 1661 in Maryland. That means that by 1967, when the Supreme Court considered the constitutionality of such laws, bans against interracial marriage had been officially part of the American "definition" of marriage for over 300 years. Just 20 years after the Supreme Court struck down the anti-miscegenation laws still in effect in 16 states, Clarence Thomas and his wife, Virginia, were married. James Braxton Peterson, director of Africana Studies at Lehigh University, has written, "The fact that the Thomas' marriage required progressive Supreme Court action must in some way inform their sense of this moment." Or maybe not. Clarence Thomas didn't say one way or the other, though his remarks outside court and in dissenting opinions suggest he's firmly opposed to the Supreme Court doing for other loving relationships what it once did for his own. But perhaps the example of Clarence Thomas speaks to what seems most glaring about the oral arguments in the marriage equality cases, namely that just as with the rest of America, the Supreme Court seems to have increasingly become a place for partisan theatrics. Perhaps this was always the case, justices hiding their personal beliefs behind legal rationales. Still, the marriage equality arguments seemed even more shaped by politics than the law. On the one hand, pulling pages right from Republican presidential candidates, conservative Chief Justice John Roberts suggested the court shouldn't intervene in a state-driven social debate. Aping conservative religious activists, Justice Samuel Alito asked whether four people could then get married. On the other hand, Justice Stephen Breyer talked about marriage as a fundamental liberty while Justice Elena Kagan pushed back on whether legalizing same-sex marriage would really harm or take anything away from opposite-sex couples. Both arguments, and the moral force beneath them, seemed to echo gay rights messaging. Still, the highly political and momentous decision in Loving vs. Virginia was unanimous. Whichever way the court rules on same-sex marriage, it appears unlikely the ruling will be unanimous. So, while the definition of marriage has unarguably evolved, a fact hopefully the Supreme Court will soon confirm with a ruling in favor of marriage equality, what's also clear is that the court has evolved. Blown by the winds of partisanship whipping up America in general, the Supreme Court is increasingly divorced from reason and submissive to politics. The question remains not what is fundamentally the right decision — I think both law and morality are clear in favor of equal treatment. The question is simply which side of the court will dominate the other.

When Leanne Bourne, a mother-of-four from Romford in Essex, began to suspect that her partner Steve was having an affair, she was heartbroken. But in a twist that she could never have foreseen, the other woman turned out to be her younger sister Larissa Knipe. Now, three years after the affair that tore her family apart, Ms Bourne says she is still struggling to come to terms with what happens - and still has bad days when she can't stop crying. Scroll down for video . Family feud: Larissa Knipe (left) is pictured with her son Logun and sister Leanne Bourne (right) 'I was very protective of Larissa because she was my baby sister,' she says of her happy upbringing. 'She wasn't just my sister. She was like a best friend and I'd do anything for her.' But all that changed when Larissa, who is seven years younger than Ms Bourne, moved into her home when she was 17. Although Larissa says there was nothing between her and Steve to begin with, a night out when she was 20 resulted in a liaison with her sister's partner - and the start of an affair. 'I was 20 when it first started with Steve,' she confesses. 'I went out one night, had a few too many drinks, came back, saw him and we started kissing. It started like that. 'The next morning, I woke up and thought, "What have you done?" I don't know why I carried it on to be honest but I did. After the first few months, I did start getting feelings and began falling for him.' Upset: Leanne Bourne appeared on ITV's This Morning to tell her story . Rapprochement: Larissa is finally winning back her sister after more than three years in the cold . Caught in the middle: Sarah Guyton was caught in the centre of the increasingly acrimonious dispute . Noticing that the pair were spending increasing amounts of time together, Ms Bourne became suspicious but, believing that her sister would do nothing to hurt her, stayed quiet. 'I mentioned it to a couple of friends, to a couple of work colleagues,' she remembers. 'One or two of my friends actually said, "What you're thinking, it's probably feasible". 'Everybody else, including my mum, said, "What are you thinking? That's your sister. She loves you. She would never do that to you".' Then, a few months later, Larissa revealed she was pregnant and claimed not to know who the father was. 'Larissa had never really had a boyfriend. If she had, I'd never met any. Then one day I came home from work and she said she was pregnant,' Ms Bourne recalls. But she was left even more suspicious by her sister and Mr Allsop's reaction. 'Larissa and Steve were both over the moon about it, really happy,' she says. 'I was quite concerned. I really felt like I was going crazy, like I was losing it. I was having a battle in my own mind.' Putting her fears to one side, she supported her sister and was there when Larissa gave birth to her son Logun in August 2011. Speaking on ITV's This Morning, Ms Bourne says she was convinced that her sister was the other woman the moment she saw the newborn. Shock: Leanne also spoke of the moment that she realised her sister's baby had been fathered by her partner . 'I had suspicions anyway but as soon as I saw the baby, I knew because not only did it look like Steve, it look like my children when they were babies. It was just too much for coincidence. 'I had to run out of the room. I saw a friend straight after and I said, "That baby is Steve's". Larissa, who moved out into a council flat of her own shortly afterwards, continued to deny all talk of an affair. But then, consumed with guilt, she finally confessed the truth to their mother Sarah Guyton in a text message that read: 'Well what's she going to do when she finds out Logun is Steve's? I can't hide it any more.' 'I answered the phone and my mum's in a panic,' remembers Ms Bourne. 'She was actually crying, so I said, "Calm down mum, what's happened?" 'And she said, "I'm sorry to tell you but what you've been worrying about is true".' Ms Bourne was, she says, left 'utterly devastated' by the news and furious that despite repeated questioning, both Larissa and Steve had point-blank denied having an affair. Then, a few days after the bombshell hit, Steve moved out of Ms Bourne's home and in with her sister. 'It was a nightmare,' remembers Ms Bourne. 'I did send her some nasty text messages. I called her every name under the sun. I think most people in my position would have.' Larissa responded angrily and more than three years on, the sisters are still estranged and struggling to come to terms with what happened. 'It's still heartbreaking really,' adds Ms Bourne. 'To think we were really close and that's all gone. It's vanished. It's non existent now.'

(CNN)It's a hard-knock life, Jay Z, especially on Twitter. The uber private rapper/entrepreneur broke out of his usually reserved social media shell over the weekend to defend the performance of his new music streaming service, Tidal. Using the hashtag #TidalFacts, he attempted to refute talk that the company has been doing a less than stellar job in taking on competitor Spotify. He launched the subscription-based music service last month with a star-studded news conference in which artists such as Madonna, Kanye West, Daft Punk and Jay Z's wife, Beyonce, came together in support of what singer Alicia Keys told the crowd was "The first ever artist-owned global music and entertainment platform." CNN Money: Jay Z's TIDAL music service to be owned by artists . But less than a month after its debut, there's been chatter that the service is underwhelming, and Jay Z's "stream of consciousness" tweets denying that were met with some derision. And, of course, a Tidal Facts parody Twitter account was quickly created to offer some "facts" of its own.

The rapper/entrepreneur went "stream of consciousness" on Twitter . He asked users to be patient with Tidal, his new music streaming service . A parody account was set up to mock his hashtag .

A lost photograph showing a woman killed by the tornado that leveled an Illinois village last week was found 35 miles away after being carried there by the storm. The image - showing Geraldine Schultz, 67, was blown from the home where she died in Fairdale, Illinois, to the town of Harvard, 35 miles away. It showed her alongside her husband Clem Schultz, 84, and was taken around 1980 to feature in a church directory. Lost and found: A 1980 photograph, left, showing Geraldine Schultz with her husband Clem, was returned to the family after being found 35 miles away. Mrs Schultz, pictured right more recently, died aged 67 when a tornado struck her home in Fairdale, Illinois, last week . Storm: A tornado obliterated the Schultz family home, and caused a collapse which killed Geraldine Schultz and also injured her husband, Clem . Going the distance: . Harvard resident Alyssa Murray found the photograph in the wake of the powerful storm, which also killed another Fairdale woman in her 60s. Using a Facebook group set up to reunite owners and their property, Murray posted a picture of the photograph, which eventually led to it being claimed. The photograph provided some comfort to the family, who were left with the arduous task of clearing up the wreckage of their home, one of around 20 wiped out by the fierce winds. Clem Schultz was in the house with his wife when the tornado struck - but survived because he had gone upstairs to fetch a lantern. Destruction: This aerial photograph shows the trail of chaos left by the tornado, which cut a path straight through the small down of Fairdale . Reunion: Widower Clem Schultz was miraculously reunited with his dog Missy after she was spotted wandering . Speaking to the Chicago Tribune, he said the couple thought the tornado would not hit Fairdale, so was most concerned with getting a source of light in case the electricity cut out. When the winds struck he felt the house collapse underneath him - and by the time he made it out, his wife had been killed. He said: 'I felt the house shudder and move and I got buried in rubble. When it was all over, I dug myself out and saw people walking in the streets and I heard propane hissing from the tanks.' Schultz said he checked his wife's pulse after finding her body, but knew she was dead. He also lost his dog, Missy, in the tornado. But she was spotted by an electrical worker driving through the countryside and was returned to the family. Debris: This restaurant sign was found near Harvard, Illinois - some 50 miles from its home in Rochelle . Wrecked: Pictured above are the remains of the Grubsteaker's restaurant in Rochelle, where the sign originated . Other items posted online have made it even farther afield. A family photograph traveled 70 miles - and over the state line - to wind up in Racine, Wisconsin. A Fairdale town sign made it 28 miles to land between the towns of Belvidere and Harvard, while a sign from the Grubsteakers family restaurant in Rochelle was carried around 50 miles to a field near Harvard. The restaurant was badly hit in the storm, and customers sheltering in its basement were trapped for almost an hour when debris collapsed on top of the basement entrance.

A family was awarded the rights to 10 rare gold coins possibly worth $80 million or more on Friday after a US appeals court overturned a jury verdict. US Department of the Treasury officials insist the $20 Double Eagles were stolen from the US Mint in Philadelphia before the 1933 series was melted down when the country went off the gold standard. They argued that Joan Langbord and her sons cannot lawfully own the coins, which she said she found in a family bank deposit box in 2003. Scroll down for video . Ten 1933 Double Eagle coins, which were almost all destroyed when the US went off the gold standard, have been given back to the Langbord family after a length legal dispute with the government . The family found the valuables in a bank deposit box for Joan Langbord's father Israel Switt, a Philadelphia jeweler (left, in 1944). The government believed that Switt stole the coins from a mint in 1933 . Langbord's father, jeweler Israel Switt, had dealings with the Mint in the 1930s and was twice investigated over his coin holdings. A jury in 2012 sided with the government. However, the appeals court returned the coins to the Langbords because US officials had not responded within a 90-day limit to the family's seized-property claim, filed in about 2004. Family lawyer Barry Berke said: 'Congress clearly intended for there to be limits on the government's ability to seek forfeiture of citizens' property, and today's ruling reaffirms that those limits are real and won't be excused when the government violates them.' Langbord, who's in her mid-80s, worked in her father's store on Jeweler's Row for most of her life. Her sons, entertainment lawyer Roy Langbord, of New York City, and David Langbord, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, joined her in the legal fight. Nearly half a million of the coins were minted in 1933, though almost all were melted and a surviving coin sold for $7.6million in 2002 . The coins were never released to the public after President Franklin Delano Roosevelt switched the US off the gold standard . They do not plan to comment on the ruling and have not decided whether the coins will be sold, Berke said. Sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens designed the Double Eagle with a flying eagle on one side and a figure representing liberty on the other. One Double Eagle, once owned by King Farouk of Egypt, sold in 2002 for $7.6 million, then a record for a coin. Its later owner, a London coin dealer once jailed by the US over it, split the proceeds with the US in a deal brokered by Berke. The Langbords offered the government a similar split but were rebuffed. The family had taken the coins to the Secret Service in Philadelphia to have them examined, Berke said. A coin that was that was once owned by King Farouk of Egypt (left) fetched millions thirteen years ago. The Langbords brought their coins into the government for authentication, but the valuables were seized . 'They authenticated the coins and said, 'Thank you very much. We will now be keeping them,'' he said. The Mint struck nearly a half-million of the Double Eagles in Philadelphia in 1933 but never released them after President Franklin D. Roosevelt abandoned the gold standard and prohibited using the gold coins as currency. The money makers in Philadelphia sent all of their gold coins to be melted in 1937, according to Bloomberg. The . 1933 'Double Eagle' was dreamed up by President Roosevelt’s distant . cousin,Theodore, who had commissioned the sculptor Augustus . Saint-Gaudens to re-design the $20 gold coin in the early 1900s. Teddy Roosevelt wanted an American coin that matched the beauty of the ancient Greek ones. The last run of nearly 500,000 coins were never released, and it was thought they were all melted down for scrap. In industry speak, an 'eagle' is $10, hence the term 'double eagle' for the $20 1933 examples. While prosecutors argued to jurors in 2011 that Switt must have stolen the coins with help from a Mint insider, Berke said he could have traded his scrap gold for them. Alison Frankel, a journalist who wrote a history of the 1933 Double Eagles, told the New York Times that Berke had an 'amazing accomplishment' by making the government prove that no coins could have possible gotten out of the mint legally. She said that the government attorneys decided not to prosecute Switt when they learned about his possible involvement in the 1940s because the statute of limitations had passed. Robert W Hoge, curator of North American coins and currency at the American Numismatic Society, said that federal authorities had been 'fanatical' about finding the existing coins. The US Department of Justice said it was reviewing its options after Friday's ruling. A Treasury spokeswoman had no comment. Switt, who died in 1990, admitted to the Secret Service in 1944 that he had possessed and sold a set of nine other Double Eagles, which were recovered and destroyed. The surviving Farouk coin is believed to have been a 10th coin from that batch. The Mint sent a pair of 1933 Double Eagles to the Smithsonian Institution for its US coin collection.

Joan Langbord, in her mid-80s, and sons win back ten 1933 Double Eagles . Family had brought rare coins to Secret Service when they were taken . Coins from Langbord's father Israel Switt had been in a lock box until 2003 . Very few of the $20 coins exist because FDR ordered US off gold standard . Government said Switt stole them, though he could have traded for them .

Success is a gloriously familiar routine for Johnny Sexton. Adding gold-plated entries to his personal CV has become an annual exercise – a tradition he is hell-bent on maintaining. As he prepared for a European Champions Cup quarter-final showdown with Saracens on Sunday in Paris, Racing Metro’s No 10 and Irish icon reflected on his healthy habit. ‘I’ve been very lucky to have been part of some great sides with Leinster and Ireland, and there haven’t been too many years that have gone by that I haven’t been part of a side winning trophies,’ he said. In fact, since the 29-year-old established himself at senior level, 2010 stands alone as a year without substantial reward. There were league titles in 2008 and 2013, Heineken Cups in 2009, 2011 and 2012, a Challenge Cup in 2013, plus the Test peaks – Six Nations titles this year and last, and a Lions series triumph in Australia in 2013. Johnny Sexton wants to full the void by winning a medal with Racing Metro this season . Short of helping Ireland to win the World Cup later this year, there’s not much left for Sexton to achieve, but he won’t settle for what he has. None of the medals have been earned in the colours of Racing, and filling that void in his check-list is a pressing priority. With a summer return to Dublin approaching, Sexton said: ‘I was speaking to Ronan (O’Gara – former Ireland team-mate and Racing’s kicking coach) last week and saying, for me, for my two years here to be a success, we need to pick up a trophy. Whenever I come back to France, I want to be able to hold my head up high, say that I gave my best to Racing while I was here and helped the club achieve something.’ The Parisian team are in the knock-out stages of Europe’s elite event for the first time, but it is familiar territory for their Irish playmaker. Sexton has featured in 11 knock-out games in continental rugby and won the lot. It is a proud record that hadn’t really occurred to him. Sexton has helped French side reach the knock-out stages of Europe’s elite event for first time . ‘I hadn’t realised that. That builds the pressure on me nicely,’ he quipped. ‘I’ ve never played a knock-out game for Racing, so hopefully it’s going to be one from one!’ Pressure is no problem to him. He handled the scrutiny of being the conductor for the Lions and has rarely faltered in conveying a sense of supreme self-belief. When Leinster were staring down the barrel in the 2011 Heineken Cup Final in Cardiff – trailing 22-6 to Northampton at half-time – Sexton scored two second-half tries in a 28-point haul to propel his province to a comeback victory which took an instant place in the folklore of club rugby in the northern hemisphere. These days, he is often acclaimed as the world’s premier fly-half. Asked about the accolade, he said: ‘I’ve worked hard throughout my career to try to get people to think that way of me, so when you hear that it is very nice and you feel that all your work has paid off. But you’re the best one day and the worst the next, so I try to stay grounded. I’ve gone through a lot of ups and downs in my career, so I will keep my feet firmly on the ground.’ Sexton intends to return to Dublin in the summer after two years in France . In truth, there have been more of the ups than the downs. Sexton had to bide his time to become a fixture in the Ireland team – serving an impatient apprenticeship behind O’Gara. The pair were known to have a frosty relationship for a while, based on the fierce contest for the No 10 shirt, so there was surprise when O’Gara followed his younger compatriot to Racing as a kicking coach. However, the ice has long since thawed. There is warmth between them now. ‘It was many years ago that we were probably best of enemies,’ said Sexton. ‘I was the young up-start who was trying to get into the Irish team, and he was the established international. But towards the latter part of his career we became good buddies, as players. It’s been great working with him here. Ronan has been someone for me to bounce stuff off, when things are going well or going badly.’ Initially, both Irishmen struggled to settle in Paris. A lack of fluent French was a significant issue for Sexton, as the man charged with orchestrating his Gallic club’s attacking game. ‘It was very tough at the start,’ he said. ‘When I came over, I didn’t have a great grasp of the language and I play in a position where it really helps to have a good grasp of French. ‘For the first four or five months, it was tough. I came off the back of the Lions tour, I had about two weeks off then started my season straight away, without much of a break. So the start was difficult, but then we started to improve as a team and turned things around. Now it has come full circle. I am much more settled and I can speak the language pretty well. I’m going to miss a lot of people here.’ Last summer, Sexton agonised over his next career move and eventually resolved to re-join Leinster, rather than sign another contract with Racing – who have made light of the setback by recruiting no less than Dan Carter to pick up the baton after the World Cup. While he called it a ‘tough decision’, the issue of work-load at key times was decisive for Sexton. ‘I have found it extremely difficult to play in the Six Nations and come back in between games to play here,’ he said. ‘I was playing Top 14 games while all the other Irish boys were resting in camp.’ The additional demands have put a strain on him, but Sexton has managed to juggle his duties effectively, to keep Racing in the hunt in the Top 14 and Champions Cup, and help Ireland retain their Six Nations title, in dramatic fashion – once again edging out England on points-difference. He described Super Saturday; the culmination of this year’s championship, as the ‘best day in a green jersey’ for himself and many of his Test colleagues. Talisman Sexton helped Ireland retain the Six Nations title this year . All the trophies and medals and plaudits haven’t quelled the fire in him. Asked to address criticism of Ireland’s often pragmatic tactics in the Six Nations – and a lack of tries prior to the torrent against Scotland on the final day – Sexton offered a defiant retort. ‘There were areas of weakness (in the opposition) that we looked to target,’ he said, referring to an effective Irish kicking game. ‘After the first three games, there was a perception that we were kicking the arse off the ball, but Joe (Schmidt, Ireland’s coach) said to us that we had passed the ball more than any other team in the competition. Sometimes perception and reality are miles apart. We showed what we could do with ball in hand against Wales but we were a bit inaccurate. Then it clicked against Scotland.’ If it clicks again for Ireland at the World Cup, they have a growing belief that – driven on by their Lion at No 10 – they can mount a genuine challenge for the Webb Ellis Cup. But first, Sexton will focus on signing off from Racing with something to show for his time there. The CV has already been embellished this year, but there may be further entries to follow.

Ms Harman did not resile from the class-based attacks, and added: 'Well I think we're saying they're standing up for people at the top and everybody else has been suffering and the recovery hasn't reached people. 'But that is quite different from saying that as Prime Minister Ed Miliband would stab this country in the back.' But sitting barely three feet away on the couch, Mr Osborne shot back: 'Well Harriet and I went to the same school, so the posh boy attack always sounds a bit thin when coming from her. 'But the point I'd make is we've got a really positive vision for this country and actually I've found this campaign enormously energising and exciting. 'And I go round the country - people are switched on, people do care about this country's future.' Ms Harman attacked the Tories over their commitment to spend an extra £8billion on the NHS, insisting it was 'absolutely illusory' Earlier Ms Harman said Conservative plans for 'extreme' spending cuts would inevitably mean further cutbacks to health. 'The reality is that the spending programme that they have put forward is a threat to cut the NHS. It is absolutely illusory. 'I don't think that people will believe it anyway. People know that they find it harder to see their GP since the Tories came into government, they know that they wait longer in accident and emergency and that waiting lists are starting to grow.' Mr Osborne insisted, however, that the Conservatives had shown in government that they were able to make the savings necessary to deliver additional funding for the NHS. 'We have a balanced plan to grow our economy, to make savings in government including in welfare to fund our NHS each and every year,' he said. 'We have to make similar savings each year that we have made for five years of this parliament but for two years. 'We have a track record in this parliament where we found almost £8 billion extra in real terms for the National Health Service in very, very difficult economic circumstances so we have proved our mettle, we have proved our ability to stand behind the National Health Service in this parliament. We can do it in the next.'

The Hunger Games film franchise has grossed over $2 billion after three movies - and the final chapter is due out at the end of the year. Before that, the Twilight saga managed $3.3 billion over five films from 2008. The Avengers garnered $1.5 billion with just one film in 2012, and there are three other sequels to come, with the follow-up hitting cinemas May 1. When it comes to Hollywood's primary concern - banking a major box office - a series or superhero adaptation is largely seen as a surefire success, in a benchmark set in the early 2000's by Harry Potter and The Lord Of The Rings, and followed by The Pirates Of The Caribbean and Spiderman. However, while original screenplays and independent projects are being edged out and overlooked as a result, there is still a small group of stars considered capable of pulling people into theaters in droves. According to a new survey in The Hollywood Reporter - which called upon producers, agents and executives to list those who can command a major opening based on their fan base -  there are six superstars around that can keep the studios swelling, without having to resort to turning a best-selling book or beloved comic into a picture. In return, they can ask for $20 million per film. 1. Sandra Bullock . The acting favorite, who won an Oscar in 2010 for The Blind Side, topped Forbes' list of the highest-earning actresses in 2014. The Miss Congeniality star took the headline spot thanks to her gripping turn in Gravity, which became one of the highest-grossing movies of 2013, with a global box office of $716 million. And while her buddy cop comedy The Heat with Melissa McCarthy managed similarly impressive numbers, with about $229.9 million worldwide, the powerful pull that Bullock has today is a career-long achievement. Thrillers like Speed, A Time To Kill ,Murder By Numbers and Crash served her well, but Bullock's legion of loyal fans have really followed her quality comedies and dramas - from While You Were Sleeping to Hope Floats, Practical Magic, 28 Days, Two Weeks Notice and The Proposal. Theater favorite: Sandra Bullock has built up an impressive and loyal following over a career spanning almost 30 years. Here she is pictured in 2013's Gravity (left) and Speed in in 1994 (right) Old faithful: Bullock made her name - and continues to - by appearing in feel-good romantic comedies, such as Hope Floats with Harry Connick Jr. in 1998. In it Bullock plays a housewife who moves back to the small town she is from following the collapse of her marriage . 2. Leonardo DiCaprio . For a young guy who started out doing TV ads for Bubble Yum chewing gum in the 1990s, DiCaprio is now 40 and a bona fide movie star. While 1997's Titanic is still ranked as the second highest-grossing film of all time (after Avatar), taking $2.18 billion, he has appeared in some of the largest films of the last 15 years, including Inception, Django Unchained, The Departed, Catch Me If You Can, The Aviator and, most recently, The Wolf Of Wall St. According to The Richest, his films have grossed an astounding $2.3 billion. Mr blockbuster: Leonardo DiCaprio asked for $25 million up front to appear as Jordan Belfort in The Wolf Of Wall Street (left), according to reports. His is pictured out and about in New York in September 2014 (right) 3. Matt Damon . He is perhaps best-known for the Bourne spy series, which spawned three films from 2002. And, despite a shaky return once the series wrapped up, with the disappointing performances of The Adjustment Bureau, Margaret, Invictus, Green Zone, We Bought a Zoo and Promised Land, Damon showed once more he is a leading man when not playing Jason Bourne. End-of-the-world blockbuster Elysium became a big movie for Sony in 2013, not just for its global takings of $286 million, but for being an original screenplay - a follow-up to Neill Blomkamp's sleeper hit District 9 - and not an adaptation. However the big money will come in 2016, when he reprises his role as Bourne. Leading man: Matt Damon - pictured left with his wife Luciana Barroso - made a big comeback in 2013 with sci-fi hit Elysium (right) 4. Robert Downey Jr. This comeback king put a shocking bout of arrests, rehab and prison behind him when he played unconventional superhero Tony Stark in 2008's Iron Man. He followed it up in 2009 by appearing as the title role in Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes, and then its sequel, Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows, in 2011. Iron Man 2 proved another major hit in 2010, and then the character appeared in The Avengers in 2012, before Iron Man 3 broke office records in 2013, collecting $1.2 billion. Downey Jr. now has an estimated net worth of $190 million, and is said to be on the best pay packet of all the actors who are signed on to The Avenger's. Comeback king: Robert Downey Jr. has played Iron Man in three installments, plus The Avengers franchise, all of which has a big pay pack . 5. Angelina Jolie . She won an Oscar for playing a disturbingly violent inmate of a female mental institution in 1999's Girl, Interrupted, before going to refashion herself as a leading action star, with roles in Gone In 60 Seconds, Tomb Raider, Mr and Mrs Smith, The Wanted and Salt. While her most recent film, Unbroken, featured her as director, the Disney live-action flick Maleficent became the fourth highest-grossing film of 2014, taking $758 million. The actress was paid a reported $15 million for the Sleeping Beauty remake, and is set to make $20 million for the Salt sequel. Regardless of the film, if Jolie is in it, audiences will go see it. Action star: While last year's Maleficent was a big box office hit, Jolie is expected to collect $20 for the Salt sequel . 6. Denzel Washington . Two-time Academy Award nominee Denzel Washington has a career that is as diverse as it is spread out. From Muslim minister and human rights activist Malcolm X in 1992, to boxer Rubin 'Hurricane' Carter The Hurricane and football coach Herman Boone in Remember the Titans, he moved into a series of action roles, including Training Day, Man On Fire and American Gangster. But his portrayed of an alcoholic but brilliant commerical pilot who prevents a catastrophic plane crash in Flight is the most memorable of late. Washington is believed to have been paid $20 million - $10 million more than co-star Mark Wahlberg - for the 2013 film 2 Guns. According to The Hollywood Reporter survey, however, there is a separate list of actors who are not far behind this list. The second group are said to be able to command $15 million each per picture. In order, that list goes Ben Affleck, Bradley Cooper, Dwayne Johnson, Jennifer Lawrence, Melissa McCarthy and Channing Tatum. The $15 million club: The recent survey said these six are Hollywood's next-in-line for huge pay packets. In order, that list goes Ben Affleck, Bradley Cooper, Dwayne Johnson, Jennifer Lawrence, Melissa McCarthy and Channing Tatum .

New survey reveals there are six actors in Hollywood who can ask for $20 million per movie . Number one on the list is Sandra Bullock, with Angelina Jolie the only other female at number five . Leonardo DiCaprio leads the men at number two, before Matt Damon, Robert Downey Junior and Denzel Washington .

Newcastle midfielder Jonas Gutierrez is hoping to celebrate his return to first-team action with a much-needed derby victory over struggling Sunderland. The 31-year-old Argentinian has appeared as a substitute in each of the Magpies' last three games following his return from testicular cancer, and has been welcomed warmly back into the fold on and off the pitch. However, he has finished on the losing side on each occasion and is desperate to end that run as Newcastle attempt to bounce back from an unprecedented four successive defeats by their arch-rivals at the Stadium of Light on Sunday. Jonas Gutierrez is preparing to face Sunderland in the fourth game since his return from testicular cancer . Gutierrez, seen here with manager John Carver, has been a substitute in Newcastle's last three matches . The Black Cats are currently fighting for their Barclays Premier League lives once again, but Gutierrez knows that will count for little this weekend. He told the Chronicle: 'In the last few years, they have been in a bad place and they beat us. Listen, it doesn't matter what position you are in for a derby. It's a derby, it's different. 'We know what the fans think of this type of game. We know now it's a few games where we have not beaten them. Gutierrez has received a hero's reception from Newcastle fans since his return to the team . Gutierrez is determined to make amends for recent derby disappointments against rivals Sunderland . 'It's away, so we have to be ready and focused. We want to get a win for the fans. They deserve it, so we are going to work hard and start from the beginning. 'We can't start late in the derby because we want three points.' Gutierrez last played in the derby in April 2013 on a bad day for Tyneside as Sunderland ran out 3-0 winners at St James' Park.

(CNN)Would you build a house with water? Hungarian architect Matyas Gutai believes that water is the perfect material for keeping a house at a comfortable temperature. And while that doesn't mean that he can do away with traditional materials like bricks, cement, and plaster, his system promotes a whole new idea of engineering. Gutai built a prototype house in his hometown of Kecskemet, south of Budapest, with his high school friend Milan Berenyi, after years of research and development. The house was built with a grant from the EU, and showcases the "liquid engineering" concepts Gutai has written about extensively. Panels, some of steel, and some of glass, make up the structure of the house and a sheet of water is trapped between the inner layers, which equalizes the temperature across the building. The house is actually able to reheat itself, when its hot excess heat is stored either in the foundations of the building or in external storage, to be brought back to the walls when the temperature drops. The indoor temperature can also be modified using a monitoring system similar to central heating. This is a very efficient and sustainable system: the house can produce its own energy and be more independent of energy suppliers, which could reduce carbon emissions. "Our panel can heat and cool the building itself -- the water inside the panel does the very same job as heating," says Gutai. "It saves energy, when you compare it to a similar building with large glass surfaces -- it's a very clean and sustainable solution." While studying sustainable architecture at the University of Tokyo, in 2003, Gutai got the idea for his water house from a visit to the open air hot baths. Despite the snowfall outside the pool, Gutai remained comfortably warm inside it -- it was then he realized the importance of water's surface temperature and its potential use in architecture. "As an architect I think it's really important that this building tries to redefine permanence, which has been a key concept in architecture for thousands of years. Our approach to permanence hasn't changed much at all, but now instead of making something very strong that tries to resist everything, we are making something that adapts to its environment. "Architecture is really changing in our time. We've reached our limits when it comes to solid architecture, now it's reasonable to look for a new system." "This research dates back seven or eight years," explains Gutai. "I started it at the University of Tokyo and it took us almost six years to get the building done. There are plenty of structural problems involved -- a lot of important questions were raised such as what happens if it's so cold outside that the water freezes or what happens when one panel breaks." "We now mix the water with natural solvents, that do not cause pollution but lower the freezing temperature to an acceptable level. This practically means, that even if the reheating technology fails, the water cannot freeze." "In case of cold climates, like in Hungary, we also add some external insulation to the structure, to protect it from freezing." And if a panel were to break? "We designed special joint units. The joint elements allow slow flow, but block faster flows," he explains. This means that if one panel breaks, it will be sealed from the remaining ones instantly. This effect is based on fluid dynamics, and not computers or monitoring system -- which minimizes the chance of failure. Gutai has worked in cooperation with universities and manufacturers to make sure the building is viable, and while the prototype house is only a small space (eight square meters in total) it demonstrates the power of this new technology. "Our goal should be to use less energy and materials, and take cities off-grid as much as possible. The water house is one way to do that," said Gutai, who currently works as a researcher at Feng Chia University in Taiwan. Constructing houses in this way is moderately more expensive than traditional designs, but this prototype aims to slash our energy needs and Gutai is working with factories and companies across Europe on projects using this technology. To make water the building material of a greener future.

Matyas Gutai is pioneering the use of water as an insulator for sustainable architecture . Reacting to its surroundings, the water keeps the house at a comfortable temperature .

BMW is recalling 91,800 Mini Coopers to fix a defect that may prevent the air bag on the front passenger side of the cars from deploying in a crash. The problem affects the 2005 to 2008 models of the Mini Cooper and Cooper S. BMW says the air bag may not work properly because of a error that might prevent the vehicles' mat detection system from sensing a passenger sitting in the front seat during a severe crash. BMW has announced that 2005 to 2008 models of the Mini Cooper and Cooper S will need to be recalled due to problems with the passenger detection system that could leave those in the car without an airbad . BMW told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it has been notified of one minor injury linked to the defect. To repair the problem, BMW will replace the detection mats in the affected models for free. The recall of the mats, which are manufactured in Germany, will begin May 1. There are 59,270 Mini Cooper and Cooper S models made between 2005 and 2006 affected by the issue along with 32,530 convertibles made between 2005 and July 2008, according to Bloomberg. Only one person has been injured so far as a result of the passenger seat (right) defect. The problem is thought to affect ten per cent of the 2005 and 2006 regular and 2005 to 2008 convertible models being recalled . Vehicle owners can get further information at 1-888-327-4236 or http://www.safercar.gov. BMW estimates that ten per cent of the cars being recalled actually have the detection mat problem. According to Motortrend, the current recalls is not the first such major incident for Mini Coopers in recent years. More than 90,000 cars made from 2006 to 2011 were also recalled in 2012 because of circuit board problems that could start vehicle fires.

Fleece jackets, piles of hay, a fuzzy stuffed animal sloth and a lot of fruit were on Bobbi Gordon's shopping list when she became a surrogate mother to a big-eyed, spikey-haired little boy. A handful of animal keepers at Salt Lake City's Hogle Zoo found themselves with a tiny red-headed charge when Eve, a Bornean orangutan, died a few weeks after giving birth. Now 5 months old, the 14-inch, 11-pound Tuah is starting to crawl. Scroll down for video . A new addition: Tuah, the five month-old Bornean orangutan looks on in the Great Ape Building at Utah's Hogle Zoo on Friday . Tuah was revealed to the public on Saturday, with visitors — some of whom wore 'I met Tuah' buttons — lining up around the ape building to catch their first glimpse. About 9,000 people visited the zoo Saturday, said Erica Hansen, the zoo's community relations coordinator. 'It was such a larger day (for attendance) than we usually have in April,' she said. Gordon is one of several primate handlers who provided round-the-clock care for the infant, improvising along the way. 'We lived like an orangutan,' Gordon said. 'It was exhausting.' Orphan: Tuah's parents Eve and Elijah, both passed away last fall just a few weeks after Tuah's birth . Orangutans spend most of their time in trees. A baby orangutan instinctively clings to his mother's fur while she builds nests and scavenges for food. So Tuah couldn't be swaddled and put in a crib like a human baby; he needed to hang onto someone, even while sleeping. A zoo employee used specialized sewing machines and old fleece jackets to make a vest with strips that simulate an orangutan's fur. The animal keepers took turns wearing the vest and crawling in hay, while Tuah held tight to their chests, developing his muscle strength. But Tuah can't cling to humans forever. That's where his sister, Acara, comes in. After Tuah's birth, zookeepers began training Acara on maternal duties. Acara will turn 10 next month and is an eager-to-please orangutan that enjoys learning, Gordon said. 'Gorillas are a whole other different story, but orangutans are very easy,' said Gordon with a laugh. She called the species 'insanely intelligent.' Taken care of: After four months of round-the-clock care from zookeepers and his older sister, an orphaned orangutan baby is ready to meet the public . The first step was to teach Acara to be gentle with the infant. 'She was young and spunky, so that was our biggest worry, that she wouldn't know what was too rough,' said Gordon. They plied Acara with rewards. The more complicated the task, the higher-value the treat: from the everyday fruit to her favorite grapes and pomegranates to the foods she only gets on special occasions, like jello, granola, graham crackers, applesauce and peanuts. When Acara had mastered being gentle, zookeepers gave her a stuffed animal to teach her how to pick the baby up, hold it and flip it over. The two were introduced when Tuah was 3 months old, and for the last month, they have lived together full time, Gordon said. Acara has adjusted to child-rearing and will retrieve Tuah for animal keepers and carry him between exhibits. She also helps Tuah navigate the ropes and stops him from tripping on toys. On Saturday, Tuah spent a lot of time holding onto the ropes and occasionally wandered up to the glass, giving visitors outside the enclosure an up close glance. 'He stayed awake and fought off his nap until about 3:30,' Hansen said. Tuah's father was Eli, an orangutan who became famous for correctly predicting the Super Bowl winner seven years in a row. Eli died of cancer in September, but officials hope Tuah inherited his ability. 'Tuah's going to try it next year,' Gordon said. Lost her parents: Tuah's father, now dead, gained national fame by correctly picking the Super Bowl winner seven straight years is ready to meet the public .

A resurgent Kimi Raikkonen sees no reason why Ferrari cannot win this year's Formula One world title race. Following a torrid campaign with the team in 2014, Raikkonen finally has a car to his liking at Ferrari this season, with the Finn looking far more like his old competitive self. Only qualifying issues have denied Raikkonen better results so far this term, with the 35-year-old knocking on the door of his first podium place for 19 months after finishing fourth in the last two races. Kimi Raikkonen finished fourth at the Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai on Sunday . Ferrari have proved more competitive in the first three races of this season than they were last year . At the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday, Raikkonen was reeling in team-mate Sebastian Vettel and may well have claimed third but for a late safety car. Although Vettel and Raikkonen were comfortably adrift of Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg at that stage, the Finn is confident Ferrari can catch and regularly beat their German rivals. 'I don't see a reason why not,' said Raikkonen. 'We have made big gains and we will continue to make big gains during this year. 'Obviously everybody will improve, so it depends what the rest are doing, but we are definitely going the right way and doing the right things. 'It is about being patient. We need time, we cannot make miracles overnight. Sebastian Vettel finished on the podium for the third time this season at the Chinese Grand Prix . 'Sebastian showed we can win (in Malaysia last month), but it depends as one circuit may be better for one team and the next could be a different story. 'We just need to be up there when something happens to them, or the conditions change, but I really feel on speed we will get there to regularly beat them.' Raikkonen recognises, though, he needs to do better in qualifying on Saturday if he is to thrust himself into the hunt for the title. An error at the Shanghai International Circuit resulted in Raikkonen starting sixth, and although he passed Williams duo Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa on lap one, he could do no more. Raikkonen sees no reason why Ferrari cannot challenge for the title this season . 'After my mistake fourth was more or less maximum,' added Raikkonen. 'I probably could have tried (to pass Vettel) at least, but there was a safety car at the end. It is what it is. 'After what happened on Saturday we at least gained some positions and we had a pretty good car. 'But we are not happy. We have to make Saturdays more correct as it gives you bigger chances and an easier life in the race. 'It doesn't help when you put yourself in a more difficult position for the race, especially one where it is never easy to overtake.'

Ferrari finished disappointing fourth in the constructors' standings in 2014 . They improved this season and are second to Mercedes after three races .

Substitute Eidur Gudjohnsen spared Bolton's blushes with virtually the final kick of the game and denied Blackpool a first away victory in 343 days in a 1-1 draw. Michael Jacobs' ninth-minute opener looked to have given the bottom-of-the-table Seasiders their first success on the road since they beat Wanderers' neighbours Wigan on April 26. But Bolton, who have repeatedly conceded late goals themselves in recent weeks, mustered an equaliser in the fifth minute of stoppage time when Emile Heskey, Neil Danns and Gudjohnsen combined to leave the visitors crestfallen. Blackpool's Michael Jacobs (left) scores against Bolton Wanderers . Bolton: Amos, Vela, Mills, McCarthy, Ream, Danns, Bannan, Feeney (Gudjohnsen 77'), Rochinha (Heskey 46'), Walker (Craig Davies 68'), Le Fondre . Subs not used: Bogdan, Moxey, Dervite, Trotter . Booked: Feeney, Vela . Goals: Gudjohnsen 90' Blackpool: Lewis, Hall, Clarke, O'Dea, Dunne, Cubero, O'Hara, Perkins, Orlandi (Barkhuizen 84'), Madine, Jacobs . Subs not used: Delfouneso, Oliver, Parish, Ferguson, Telford, Samuel . Booked: Clarke, Madine, Lewis . Goals: Jacobs 9' Referee: David Coote . Attendance: 17,076 . It was at this very venue that Blackpool boss Lee Clark pulled off a great escape on the final day of last season at the helm of Birmingham, who scored in the third minute of stoppage time to prevent relegation into the third tier, but this time he was on the wrong end of some late drama. In recent weeks Clark had publicly accepted the Seasiders, who remain 16 points from safety, were doomed but Rotherham's defeat to Blues 24 hours earlier meant they kicked off knowing they would not be relegated at the Macron Stadium. That may have instilled a freedom to Clark's troops and the home crowd were stunned into silence by Jacobs' early opener. He collected a long, direct ball down the right, turned on the afterburners to accelerate away from Josh Vela and Paddy McCarthy and lashed beyond Ben Amos in the Bolton goal. Things could have been worse for the shell-shocked hosts too as Peter Clarke headed straight at Amos and an unmarked Andrea Orlandi glanced over from six yards. Clark's men continued to ask questions, with Jose Miguel Cubero's rising effort deflected narrowly away from the top corner of Amos' net. Bolton Wanderers' Josh Vela and Blackpool's Jamie O'Hara (right) vie for the ball . Tangerines stopper Joe Lewis made a couple of smart stops to deny winger Liam Feeney and centre-back McCarthy but there was a malaise about Bolton's play which Neil Lennon had been so keen to avoid pre-match. In the second half, Amos failed to clear a corner and Clarke leant back and skewed his effort over the top before Jacobs cut in from the left flank and bent a brilliant effort just wide. Lewis had been largely untroubled apart from a routine save from Tom Walker but he was stranded at the other end of his goal when Adam Le Fondre cut the ball across for an onrushing Barry Bannan, who somehow placed his side-footed strike against the outside of the post. Lennon had started with just one striker but introduced three off the bench by bringing on Heskey, Craig Davies and Gudjohnsen. The hosts' chance looked to have gone when Lewis stopped McCarthy's header and O'Hara scrambled Mills' try off the line but there was still time for a dramatic finale. Heskey looked certain to nod Bannan's back-post cross in but when he could not connect, the ball came back out to Danns, whose volley was helped in by Gudjohnsen on the line, with Blackpool fuming about an offside flag which never came.

Everton midfielder James McCarthy believes Ross Barkley is more than capable of handling the highs and lows which accompany the tremendous expectation which rests on his shoulders. The 1-0 victory over Southampton, courtesy of captain Phil Jagielka's fifth goal of the season, was a case in point. In the first half he produced a brilliant piece of control and skill to skip past three opponents and launch an attack from deep inside his own half which brought Goodison Park to its feet. Everton midfielder James McCarthy believes Ross Barkley is capable of handling the pressure on him . McCarthy (left) said he thought Barkley was 'different class' despite a mistake with an ambitious pass . However, when his ambitious pass after the break gifted possession to the visitors the all-too familiar sound of loud groans echoed around the ground. Then, to cap it all, manager Roberto Martinez's decision to replace him with 20 minutes to go - a requirement to help shore up a tight game - was greeted with disagreement and boos. It is difficult to know what Barkley, who was lauded for two substitute appearances for England in the last 10 days, thought of it, but McCarthy is confident the youngster can deal with the complexities and confusion which appear to surround most of his performances. 'I think Ross was different class,' he said. 'I thought he worked really hard for the team and was a real nuisance driving at people and it was brilliant to see him high in confidence having been away with England. Barkley was withdrawn with 20 minutes to go at Goodison Park, a decision that brought boos from the crowd . 'Ross is a good lad and has his feet firmly on the ground and has a lot of people at the club looking after him. 'He won't get carried away. We have a lot of characters, a lot of experienced heads in the dressing room and there is no better place to be for him.' Aside from Jagielka's 16th-minute goal, giving the centre-back his best tally in eight years at the club, the only other notable action saw goalkeeper Tim Howard claw away Graziano Pelle's early shot from under his crossbar and throw out a hand, while diving the wrong way, to stop James Ward-Prowse's strike. Everton achieved what they were unable to do earlier in the season and ground out victory to make it three successive wins, moving them to 11th in the table, with the relegation fears of a couple of weeks ago now a thing of the past. With nothing to play for in their remaining seven matches McCarthy believes the motivation is to remain unbeaten until the end of the campaign. McCarthy is confident youngster Barkley can deal with the complexities of his sometimes indifferent form . 'We want to kick on, go on a winning run and finish the season strongly,' he added. 'We have won three games and we want to go unbeaten until the end of the season, although that is easier said than done. 'There has been a big improvement. So far, so good, but we won't get carried away. 'The most important thing was to get three points and dig in deep to secure it with a clean sheet.' With leading scorer Romelu Lukaku not quite ready to return after a hamstring injury, the onus was on other players to step up, but few would have bet on Jagielka being the match winner against Saints. Everton secured a 1-0 victory over Southampton, courtesy of captain Phil Jagielka's fifth goal of the season . 'He is different class. He is brilliant to have at the club and is a true leader on the pitch,' said McCarthy.

Manchester United have offered to make David de Gea the world’s best-paid goalkeeper on £200,000-a-week to keep him at Old Trafford. Fears are growing at United that De Gea will return to Spain and join Real Madrid on a free transfer when his contract runs out next summer. So far there has been no breakthrough in negotiations and manager Louis Van Gaal admitted yesterday that the club have made De Gea a huge offer to persuade him to stay. Manchester United have offered goalkeeper David de Gea £200,000-a-week to stay at the club . There has been speculation that the 24-year-old will move back to Spain to join Real Madrid this summer . ‘We have offered him a lot of money,’ said Van Gaal. ‘It takes a long time now. So it can always happen. I want him to stay but I am not the boss. The player is the boss, he can say yes or no. You will have to ask David De Gea not me. He has to sign.’ United’s offer of £180,000-a-week plus bonuses would eclipse the salaries of Manchester City’s England international Joe Hart, Gianluigi Buffon at Juventus, Bayern Munich keeper Manuel Neuer and Real Madrid’s Iker Casillas. But the feeling inside the Old Trafford dressing-room is that De Gea will leave to replace Casillas at the Bernabeu next summer, five years after joining United from Atletico Madrid for £17.8m. Having overcome a difficult start in English football, the 24-year-old Spaniard has been United’s most outstanding performer this season and was nominated for PFA Player of the Year earlier this month. United would demand £30m if Real try to sign him this summer and Van Gaal has already prepared for the prospect of De Gea leaving as a free agent next year by bringing in former Barcelona keeper Victor Valdes. Louis van Gaal admitted, during his press conference on Friday, that De Gea has been offered 'a lot of money' If De Gea moves to Real Madrid, it is likely he will be a replacement for Iker Casillas .

(CNN)At least two people were taken into custody as protesters upset over the death of Freddie Gray scuffled Thursday evening with police on the streets of Baltimore. Tensions rose as demonstrators confronted police, several of whom shouted: "Back up!" The Baltimore Police Department said the two were detained for disorderly conduct and destruction of property. There were no other arrests and the protests -- on the whole -- were peaceful. Protesters rallied at City Hall before marching to a police station. Some walked through traffic. In one instance, they surrounded a police car. Gray died Sunday, one week after he was arrested by Baltimore police. At some point, he suffered a severe spinal cord injury. His family said his voice box was crushed and his neck snapped before he slipped into a coma and died. "The police have a lot of questions that need to be answered," Andrew O'Connell, an attorney for the Gray family, told CNN. "What was the reasonable suspicion? Why were they arresting our client? These are pretty big questions that need to be answered." "He had no weapon in his hand. He was committing no crime and he wasn't hurting anybody. The police had no reasonable suspicion to stop or arrest him," the attorney said. While Baltimore police say five of the six officers involved in the arrest have provided statements to investigators, the department has not released details of what the officers said or how Gray might have suffered the fatal injury. Protesters are upset over the apparent lack of information, and -- recently -- a police union's comparison of the demonstrations to a "lynch mob." "While we appreciate the right of our citizens to protest and applaud the fact that, to date, the protests have been peaceful, we are very concerned about the rhetoric of the protests," the Baltimore Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 3 said in a statement issued Wednesday. "In fact, the images seen on television look and sound much like a lynch mob in that they are calling for the immediate imprisonment of these officers without them ever receiving the due process that is the constitutional right of every citizen, including law enforcement officers." Scenes from Baltimore . That comparison drew swift and sharp criticism, given the history of lynchings of African-Americans in the United States. Rooted in the racial ire of the Civil War, the extrajudicial mob killings of blacks, other minorities and people opposed to oppression of minorities were common in the segregated South. More than 4,000 people were murdered between 1877 and 1950 in 12 Southern states, according to a recent report. But lynchings weren't restricted to the South, and they have deeply scarred race relations in the country. "Which one is the #LynchMob again?" John Cotton tweeted, posting a photo of a peaceful protest next to photos of Gray during his arrest and hospitalization. "The choice of words is not only ironic, it's sad," said O'Connell, the attorney for the Grays. "Police officers are never the subject of a lynch mob. It's actually usually the other way around," he told CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront." "And in the context of the powder keg that Baltimore city is right now, referring to the citizens of Baltimore city who are peacefully protesting as a 'lynch mob' doesn't serve to keep the peace. It only heightens the flames, or fans the flames of people who are already on edge." Amid protests, officials advised people to clear the area or expect delays. A statement encouraged employees who work downtown to get out of the area to "avoid major disruptions." Baltimore police requested and received additional personnel from Maryland State Police. Thirty-two troopers arrived to help with crowd control and serve in a "backup capacity" for police, according to Erin Montgomery, a spokesperson for Gov. Larry Hogan. A small rally and press conference was held at noon, organized by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Peoples Power Assemblies. They announced that they will conduct their own investigation into the events that led to Gray's death. Thursday's events follow a series of demonstrations this week, with protesters demanding elusive answers. Baltimore protests: 5 questions demonstrators are asking . Among the questions: Did something happen inside the police transport vehicle that caused Gray's fatal spinal injury? And what took place in the 30 minutes before police called paramedics to pick Gray up? "Our position is something happened in that van," police union attorney Michael Davey said. "We just don't know what." But one question has already been addressed: Did officers have the right to chase Gray in the first place? Police first encountered Gray on April 12 as they patrolled an area known for crime and drug activity. When Gray saw them, authorities said, he started running. Gray's family attorney and protesters claim police didn't have any probable cause to chase him, but did so only because he was "running while black." But Davey said officers had every right to give chase. "There is a Supreme Court case that states that if you are in a high-crime area, and you flee from the police unprovoked, the police have the legal ability to pursue you, and that's what they did," he said. "In this type of an incident, you do not need probable cause to arrest. You just need a reasonable suspicion to make the stop." Gray was arrested after police found what they said was a switchblade on him. An attorney for Gray's family has said the knife was a pocket knife of legal size. Police Commissioner Anthony Batts said he met Thursday with the family. "There was a lot of pain in that family, and I can understand it. If that was my son that ended up the same way, I would be angry," he told CNN. Updates and images from the field . One video of Gray's arrest shows officers dragging him to a police van, his legs dangling limply behind him. "His leg look broke!" a bystander yells as a witness captures the arrest on a cell phone video. That witness, who only wants to be identified as Kiona, said she knew Gray as a joker and a ladies' man. But that day, he said only one thing to her. "When I ran up the street and seen him, the first thing I asked him was he OK because I heard him screaming," Kiona said. "He didn't never say yes or no, he just said 'I can't breathe' and just was yelling." Former Baltimore Police Commissioner Leonard Hamm said he was disturbed by video of the arrest. "What I see is a person in distress, and what should have happened is at that point, they should have called for medical attention to help him out," he told CNN's "New Day." Hamm led the department from 2004 to 2007. He said he was surprised and disappointed by what has happened. "I thought we were better than that," he said. "I thought we were better trained than that." It's not clear whether Gray was injured during the arrest. His family has not yet seen the autopsy report, attorney William Murphy said. The medical examiner's office told CNN it could take up to 90 days to release the report, which is typical. Gray's body is now in his family's care and has been transported to a funeral home. The family has not specified which one. That information will be released when arrangements have been finalized. Mary Koch, a member of the family's legal team, told CNN that an independent autopsy will be conducted at the facility. The police department is investigating what happened and will turn over its finding to the state attorney's office May 1, the department said. "As with any criminal investigation, detectives will continue to pursue the evidence wherever it leads, for as long as it takes." The Justice Department is investigating whether Gray's civil rights were violated during the April 12 arrest. And Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said she "absolutely" believes an outside investigation is needed, especially given the city's dark history of police misconduct. According to The Baltimore Sun, the city has paid about $5.7 million over the past four years to settle more than 100 cases of allegations of police wrongdoing. Police didn't admit fault in any of the cases. The police union said in a statement Wednesday that the reason for the settlements was simple: City officials believe lawsuits are too costly. CNN's Eliott C. McLaughlin, Catherine E. Shoichet, Kevin Conlon and Dana Ford contributed to this report.

Note to all managers: if you’re top striker is misfiring, have a word with Tim Sherwood. He obviously knows the secret of getting them back among the goals. Sherwood, albeit for a short period of time, revived Emmanuel Adebayor’s flagging Tottenham career last season; now he’s replicating the achievement with Christian Benteke. Christian Benteke heads Aston Villa into the lead against Tottenham in the 35th minute of the game . Benteke celebrates the goal that gave Tim Sherwood's team the advantage at the end of the first half . Benteke continued his fine form for Villa from Tuesday, where he scored a hat-trick in the 3-3 draw with QPR . Benteke (second left) is mobbed by his Villa team-mates after scoring the opening goal against Tottenham . Benteke points to the sky as he led the Villa attack against Tottenham in the Premier League . His success in rejuvenating Benteke, who has scored six goals in eight games, will be viewed as, perhaps, Sherwood’s most vital contribution if Aston Villa win their Premier League survival battle. ‘It’s about strikers applying themselves,’ said the Villa boss, fresh from his side’s victory over former club Tottenham. ‘Like Ade, when I gave Ade an opportunity to come back into the group at Spurs, he had to earn the right and he did that by the way he trained. Christian’s no different. Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Vorm 6; Chriches 4.5 (Yedlin 79min), Dier 6, Fazio 6.5, Rose 6.5; Mason 6.5, Bentaleb 6.5; Townsend 5.5 (Lamela 79), Eriksen 6, Chadli 5.5 (Soldado 62, 5); Kane 6.5. Subs not used: Paulinho, Friedel, Stambouli, Davies. Booked: Rose, Bentaleb, Lamela. Aston Villa (4-3-3): Guzan 7.5; Bacuna 7.5, Clark 6 (Baker 18, 7.5), Vlaar 8, Richardson 7; Sanchez 7, Cleverley 7, Delph 8; Agbonlahor 7 (Cole 70, 6.5), Benteke 8.5, Grealish 7 (Weimann 63, 6.5). Subs not used: Okore, N’Zogbia, Given, Lowton. Booked: Richardson, Benteke. Sent off: Sanchez. Scorer: Benteke 35. Man of the match: Christian Benteke. Referee: Lee Probert 7. Stat: Since Sherwood took over at Villa striker Christan Benteke is the Premier League’s top goalscorer. ‘I think Christian was on the back of being dropped I think when arrived. ‘I’ve had chats with him, told him what I think of him and how everyone in Europe seemed to want him a year ago, and that doesn’t just vanish. ‘So let’s get him back firing, let’s get him back training properly, and scoring goals.’ Indeed, similar patterns are emerging from Sherwood’s spell as manager at White Hart Lane last season and his current job in the Midlands. In addition to turning Adebayor and Benteke back into Premier League forces he’s brought his fearless approach to blooding youth players with him to Villa Park. Where would the careers of Tottenham pair Harry Kane and Nabil Bentaleb be without Sherwood’s guidance last season? And we saw further evidence of the manager’s youth-minded attitude as he handed Jack Grealish, 19, only his second Villa start at a White Hart Lane on Saturday. Not only that but playing the teenager in the influential No 10 role. Villa manager Sherwood was visibly ecstatic at recording the win and getting three points upon the final whistle . Sherwood said: ‘We’ve got good young players coming through at Villa. Jack Grealish has been given his senior debut and Rushian [Hepburn-Murphy], 16 years of age, is another. ‘Jack played in a position where you need maturity but I don’t think he’s fazed. I really mean that. ‘If I thought he was going to be a gamble I wouldn’t have done it, but Jack’s got real ability, you can see that. Sherwood handed 19-year-old Jack Grealish (left) only his second Villa start at a White Hart Lane on Saturday . ‘He’s got a big future at this football club. He’s certainly at the right place. ‘So if you’re a young kid coming through, you’re not going anywhere else. You go to Tottenham or come to Villa. ‘They’re the two massive football clubs but you’ve got two managers who are going to give them an opportunity.’ Villa’s win virtually ended Spurs chances of qualifying for the Champions League. Emmanuel Adebayor (left) was rejuvenated in front of goal following the arrival of Sherwood last season . And when asked whether he’d want another campaign of playing in the Europa League manager Mauricio Pochettino provided an uncommitted answer. ‘How would we deal with the Europa League again? It’s difficult. It has been a very long season. When you do a whole season playing Thursday-Sunday maybe you arrive at the end at very difficult level,’ said the Argentine. ‘It’s not easy playing in the Europa League. When you are a young squad and you make the biggest effort during the season maybe you arrive, not physically, but mentally in a very difficult moment at the end of the season.’

Christian Benteke has scored six goals in eight games . Emmanuel Adebayor thrived under Tim Sherwood at Tottenham last term . Sherwood handed Jack Grealish only his second Villa start on Saturday .

(CNN)While the fight against ISIS in Syria and Iraq holds the world's gaze, a simultaneous transformation is getting less attention: the deterioration of al Qaeda. In an audio message released Sunday, al Qaeda confirmed that two of its leaders, known as Ustad Ahmad Farooq and Qari Abdullah Mansur, were killed in CIA drone strikes in January in North Waziristan, near the Afghan-Pakistan border. Farooq's real name was Raja Mohammad Suleman, al Qaeda said. He was a Pakistani who acted as the group's liaison to the Pakistan Taliban and was the deputy commander of al Qaeda's South Asia branch. (Mansur's real name was Qari Ubaidullah, a Pakistani who oversaw suicide missions against U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan). Al Qaeda's South Asia branch is relatively new, announced with some fanfare back in September by al Qaeda's top leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri. The creation of the terror group's South Asia branch was seen by some terrorism analysts as an attempt to steal some of the limelight from ISIS, which is embroiled in a public dispute with al Qaeda for leadership of the global jihad movement. The deaths of the two men continue the decimation of al Qaeda's bench of leaders. On Monday, in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi, local al Qaeda commander Nurul Hassan was killed in a raid, said Arif Hanif, district inspector general of police. Florida-raised Adnan Shukrijumah, 39, who was in charge of al Qaeda's operations to attack the West, was killed in December in a Pakistani military operation. Texas-born Mohanad Mahmoud Al Farekh, who also played a planning role for al Qaeda's operations, was arrested in Pakistan last year. The deaths of Ubaidullah and Suleman underline the fact that there are almost no top leaders of al Qaeda left except al-Zawahiri. Both Ubaidullah and Suleman were Pakistani. This is an indicator of how al Qaeda has become a largely Pakistan-focused group, increasingly able to do nothing of any significance outside of Pakistan or Afghanistan. Indeed, al Qaeda has virtually no capacity to carry out attacks in the West. The last successful al Qaeda attack in the West was the London transportation system bombings a decade ago. Al Qaeda is now reduced only to holding American hostages such as 73-year-old aid worker Warren Weinstein, who was kidnapped from his home in the Pakistani city of Lahore on August 13, 2011. To be sure, al Qaeda's Yemen-based affiliate, al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, continues to pose a threat to American aviation. The group has built hard-to-detect bombs, which it has placed on U.S.-bound flights. Luckily, those bombs were faulty or were detected. The group also trained one of the gunmen who attacked the offices of the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris in January, killing 12, but it's not clear if AQAP had any direct role in planning this attack. Meanwhile, ISIS continues to attract Western recruits and also inspire "homegrown" terrorists in the West, but the core al Qaeda organization that killed almost 3,000 men, women and children on 9/11 is on life support. Al Qaeda's confirmation of the deaths of Ubaidullah and Suleman is just one of the latest pieces of evidence for this assessment.

Al Qaeda confirms that two of its leaders were killed in January drone strikes . Other leaders have been killed or captured recently . The terrorist group's capacity to carry out attacks in the West has been greatly diminished .

Millions of pounds were wiped off the value of leading housebuilders today after Labour announced a raft of new policies on housing. Ed Miliband today set out plans to scrap stamp duty for most first-time buyers, curbing rent rises and giving local people priority for new homes. But he also wants to ban developers hoarding land which could be built on, triggering a drop in the value of shares of construction firms. Ed Miliband used a speech in Stockton-on-tees today to promise there is 'nothing more British than the dream of home-ownership' as he sets out plans to prioritise new homes for local people . The move to clampdown on landbanking - where firms hold on to undeveloped sites while its value increases - has proven unpopular. Yesterday Mr Miliband said he would introduce rent controls if it won the election and ban private landlords from raising rents by more than the rate of inflation for the duration of new three-year contracts. It is thought the policies contributed to the fall in shares in leading housebuilding firms. Barrett Developments saw shares drop from more than £5.42 each to under £5.32 within two hours of the FTSE opening, and closed at £5.37, a 0.74 per cent decline on the day. Shares in Taylor Wimpey fell sharply from £1.70 to under £1.66 this morning, before recovering to £1.68, a fall of 0.47 per cent. Persimmon, the third housebuilder in the FTSE 100, also saw shares fall sharply this morning, but they made up the losses before the end of the day. 'Nervousness over the election is finally starting to filter into the FTSE 100. Rent controls will affect the housing sector,' said Atif Latif, director of trading at Guardian Stockbrokers. Mr Miliband, pictured checking his phone as he travels to Stockton by train, wants to ban developers hoarding land which could be built on . In a speech today, Mr Miliband said there is 'nothing more British than the dream of home-ownership' as he sets out plans to prioritise new homes for local people. He warned that too often new homes are 'snapped up before local people get a look-in' and promised to cut the cost of getting on to the property ladder. Nine in 10 people buying their first home will benefit from the stamp duty break, saving them up to £5,000, according to Labour. In a speech in Stockton, Mr Miliband said: 'There's nothing more British than the dream of home-ownership, starting out in a place of your own. 'But for so many young people today that dream is fading with more people than ever renting when they want to buy, new properties being snapped up before local people get a look-in, young families wondering if this country will ever work for them. 'That is the condition of Britain today, a modern housing crisis which only a Labour government will tackle.' Higher taxes will also be imposed on foreign buyers and up to half of new homes will be set aside for local residents. The plan would cost £225 million a year, which it says would be found through a series of tax-related measures. The battle for the support of Britain's aspiring homeowners has been electrified by a series of eye-catching policies from the main parties. David Cameron ordered a relaunch of Maragret Thatcher's Right to Buy policy, extending it to 1.3million families in housing association properties, while offering Help to Buy ISAs to people struggling to save for a deposit. The Lib Dems have promised tenants the chance to buy a stake in their homes through a Rent to Buy scheme. Under Labour's proposal, the planning laws would be changed to introduce a 'first call' policy that would give first time buyers who have lived in an area for more than three years priority on up to half of local new homes. It will also introduce a 'local first' policy that would stop properties being advertised overseas before they have been in the UK. Mr Miliband was greeted at the Arc Arts Centre in Stockton-on-Tees by Louise Baldock, the Labour candidate for the Stockton South seat . House prices are rising faster for first-time buyers than people already on the property ladder, according to Nationwide . Mr Miliband said: 'It is simply too expensive for so many young people to buy a home today, saving up for the deposit, paying the fees and having enough left over for the stamp duty. So we're going to act so we can transform the opportunities for young working people in our country. 'For the first three years of the next Labour government, we will abolish stamp duty for all first time buyers of homes under £300,000.' Chancellor George Osborne allowed a two-year holiday on stamp duty, which raised the threshold for first-time buyers to £250,000, to expire in March 2012, introducing a New Buy Guarantee in its place. Mr Miliband warns that too often new homes are 'snapped up before local people get a look-in' and promised to cut the cost of getting on to the property ladder . Buyers currently pay nothing on the first £125,000 of a home's value and are then charged on a sliding scale, starting with 2 per cent on the next £125,000 and 5 per cent on the following £675,000. Labour says it would fund the stamp duty plans by tackling tax avoidance by landlords, pointing to HMRC figures that estimate it costs £550 million a year. It claims introducing a national register of landlords would mean that figure could be cut by 20 per cent, bringing in £100 million for Treasury coffers. Holding companies that buy properties for investors would be hit by increases to the annual tax on enveloped dwellings while buyers from outside the European Union would be hit by a hike in their stamp duty bills of at least 3 per cent. Tax relief for landlords to cover the upkeep of furnished properties would also be reduced for rogue landlords that rent out sub-standard properties. A Conservative spokesman said: 'This panicky, unfunded announcement is something Labour have tried before - and it failed. Coming from the people who crashed the housing market and repeatedly raised stamp duty, this won't distract from Ed Miliband's inability to say what deals he will make with the SNP to prop him up in Downing Street. 'In contrast to Ed Miliband's gimmicks, because of our balanced economic plan, we've been able to deliver lasting reforms - cutting stamp duty for 98 per cent of people who would have paid it. 'Higher borrowing and higher debt under an SNP-controlled Ed Miliband government would mean higher mortgage rates and fewer first-time buyers.' A Liberal Democrat spokesman said: 'This is yet another unfunded promise from Labour. Just last week, the independent Institute for Fiscal Studies told them they weren't being honest about their spending plans. It is clear they have learnt absolutely nothing. No-one should trust Labour to deliver this commitment because their sums simply do not add up. The Liberal Democrats have been honest about our spending plans; it's time Labour and the Tories did the same. 'Only the Liberal Democrats will really help people get on the housing ladder, by building the 300,000 homes needed to keep up with demand, helping young people afford the deposit for their rent, and helping people buy their homes over time through our Rent to Own plans.'

Miliband says there's 'nothing more British than dream of home-ownership' Stamp duty cut would save first-time buyers up to £5,000 on cost of buying . Labour would also ensure new homes go to local people with law change .

When it launched eight years ago, cruise company Azamara decided to make a name for itself, literally. The founders took 'aza' for 'blue' - think azure; and added 'mara', which has a hint of the maritime about it. And then, for good measure, they bolted on 'Club Cruises'. The thinking behind 'Club' was that it suggested exclusivity. The line - part of the Royal Caribbean group - has two ships in its fleet, Journey and Quest, which each carry about 680 passengers. The smaller size of the vessels means not only a more intimate on-board experience - as in TV's Cheers bar, it can become a place where everybody who serves you soon knows your name - it also means the ships can access ports off-limits to the bigger vessels. I boarded our seven-night Azamara Quest cruise from Monaco to Rome with a sense of great expectations: I anticipated a friendly ambience, great service and some interesting ports. I wasn't to be disappointed. The Azamara Club Cruises' Quest vessel carries about 680 passengers, making it a more intimate voyage . The size of the ship means it is able to access ports that are off-limits to the bigger vessels . Boarding the ship in somewhere as glitzy as Monaco immediately imbued the journey with a luxury feel. In the harbour we were surrounded on all sides by billionaires' mega-yachts. But while they and their guests were probably having to fork out vast amounts for their onboard food and drink, on the Azamara Quest we were living in the lap of complimentary luxury. You can enjoy 'standard spirits, international beers and wines at all ship bars during regular bar hours' for no extra charge - and 'gratuities' on Azamara are included in the basic cost. There is also an unfeasibly wide selection of on-board eating places - there is a Tardis-like feel to the way that something that looks small from the outside can accommodate so much on the inside. Our first stop was St Tropez, which seemed to boast even more stunning luxury yachts than Monaco. In the evening we joined a small party for a special excursion - Azamara prides itself on offering a variety of experiences throughout its cruises - to an 'elegant evening under the stars' at a favourite celeb hangout, the five-star Chateau de La Messardiere. We gathered around the handsome swimming pool to sip fine champagne and scoff sumptuous mini-pastries as we watched the sun sink into the Mediterranean. Frank boarded a seven-night Azamara Quest cruise from Monaco to Rome with high expectations . The first stop was St Tropez , which seemed to boast even more stunning luxury yachts than Monaco . It was a good time to get early impressions on the cruise from fellow passengers. Everyone was impressed at the high quality of service and facilities - especially those whose previous cruise experiences had been on 'big' ships. There were high marks for dining, service, decor, the interesting choice of excursions and the excellent value for money. 'We were worried Azamara might be too small,' said one couple. 'In fact we should have been worried by the fact that our previous trips had been on ships which were too large. We're sticking with ships this size from now on.' The days flew by. There were two ports in Corsica: Ajaccio and Porto Vecchio. Famous for its salt pans, Porto Vecchio offered another treat - the AzaMazing evening (there is one on every cruise), a large, free-of-charge party with masses of food, wine and entertainment laid on at a nearby beach that we reached in a fleet of coaches. It felt as if we were gatecrashing an exclusive private party. Famous for its salt pans, Porto Vecchio offered another treat - a large free-of-charge private party . The cruises attracted a wide spread of age groups, from people in their 30s up to their 80s. The accent was on keeping busy, whether by taking interesting excursions or attending well-thought-out lectures on board. But if you didn't want to do anything, there were always spare sunloungers and plenty of space to stretch out next to the pool. After a fine stop at Sardinia, it was on to Italy for Capri and our final stop at Amalfi. I woke early to be up on deck as the ship followed the coast road past Positano. It was so quiet that as we sailed past the small villages, you could hear bells calling people to morning Mass. Frank woke early to be up on deck as the ship followed the coast road past quiet Positano . In Amalfi we caught the local bus up to Ravello - once a favourite place with the Hollywood elite - to enjoy the stunning views along the coast, and then sauntered back down the footpath through lemon trees and sweet-smelling shade until we were back in Amalfi. Our final excursion was one that promised 'Insider Access' - a drive along the spectacular Amalfi Coast to a buffalo farm in Pontecagnano to discover how mozzarella cheese is made. A bus up to former Hollywood elite favourite Ravello is rewarded with coastal views such as this . One of the happy Asian water buffalo that provide the milk for creamy and delicious mozzarella . Azamara Club Cruises (0844 493 4016) offers an eight-night Mediterranean cruise aboard the Quest from £2,285pp including return flights from Heathrow, transfers, club balcony cabin and full board. Departing October 15, it calls at Florence and Pisa, Rome, Sorrento, Sicily, Crete, Santorini and Athens. I'm not sure what sort of picture I had in my head of the buffaloes from which the milk is taken in order to make the famous Italian cheese, but the big-horned Asian water buffaloes we met came as something of a surprise. The farm we visited was a showpiece with a big herd of cheerful animals, and after watching the manufacturing process we were whisked off to the owners' farmhouse where we were able to sample the goods in rural splendour. On our return to the ship there was time to reflect on a pleasurable week at sea. The company's name may mean 'blue sea' - for me I will always remember it as 'my blue heaven'.

A mother whose son suffered severe brain damage during birth is set to receive potentially the biggest medical negligence payout in history. The High Court ruled today that United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust must pay in excess of £14.6 million for birth injuries, after failing to carry out a Caesarean section on Suzanne Adams and properly monitor her during labour. The hospital's negligence led to her son James Robshaw, now 12, being born with cerebral palsy. The decision, believed to be one of the most significant in a case of medical negligence and the largest ever such court-ordered award for birth injury, reflects the lifetime care that James needs. Suzanne Adams' son James Robshaw was born with cerebral palsy after she hospital staff failed to carry out a Caesarean section or properly monitor her during labour . James cannot speak, dress or feed himself (without assistance of a machine) and must use a wheelchair. His intellect has remained fairly well intact and he communicates through sophisticated eye-gaze equipment. He will however be dependent on others to enable him to carry out the most routine daily tasks for the rest of his life. While the exact sum has yet to be confirmed, MailOnline understands the minimum payout will be £14.6m. To date, the biggest medical negligence payout has been around £15 million - and Ms Adam's lawyers hope to exceed this amount. Ms Adams was in labour when she was admitted to Lincoln County hospital in 2002. Although her baby's heart was monitored after her arrival, midwives either ignored or could not interpret the CTG trace - which detects foetal heart rate - correctly. James had an abnormal heart rate and was evidently in some distress and Mrs Adams was exhausted by a prolonged labour. Today, the High Court ruled that United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust must pay Ms Adams in excess of £14.6 million for birth injuries - the largest ever court-ordered award for birth injury . James, now 12, cannot speak, dress or feed himself and must use a wheelchair. He will be dependent on others to enable him to carry out the most routine daily tasks for the rest of his life . The confusion about CTG interpretation and the additional failure to carry out a timely Caesarean section meant there was a delay in delivering James. Resuscitation procedures were then carried out in the delivery room before he was transferred to the Special Care Baby Unit. The sum ordered by the High Court includes money to pay for all James’ needs including: . * 24 hour care provided by a team of live-in carers. * Significant modifications to his home to allow James to use his powered wheelchair and access bathroom, kitchen etc. * Hoisting and tracking equipment to lift James in and out of wheelchairs/bed. * Disability equipment. * Therapists including physiotherapist, speech & language therapist, occupational therapist, AAC therapist, orthotist, orthoptist, psychologist. * Adapted vehicle to enable James to travel in his wheelchair. * Sophisticated eye-gaze equipment to enable James to speak and communicate with people and carry out his school work. * Funding for James’ additional educational needs. Ms Adams' lawyer, Denise Stephens, a partner with law firm Access Legal, argued that had the Caesarean section had been carried out - or hospital staff had monitored the baby’s heart rate properly - the midwife could have identified that James was in distress. In either event, he would have been delivered much sooner and so would not have suffered any injury. Ms Stephens said: ‘This is a tragic case of an avoidable accident at birth which caused devastating injuries. 'James is a bright 12 year old lad with a wicked sense of humour and perhaps the most distressing aspect of this case is the loss of the life James could have had if he had not been injured.’ The United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust finally admitted liability for James’s injuries in 2009 - seven years after his birth. However it took a further six years to fight for damages for James. Speaking today, Ms Adams said: ‘The family has been through a very difficult time. '[The situation] has taken its toll on family relationships and my mental health and I am still on medication for depression and anxiety. 'It was difficult to cope on my own at first and the interim payments my solicitor obtained transformed our lives. 'The award will help James realise his potential. 'But no amount of money can ever make up for the mistakes that have condemned my amazing son to a lifetime of dependency on others.' Pauleen Pratt, acting chief nurse at United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, said: 'The Trust and the NHS Litigation Authority are deeply sorry for what happened and for the impact this has had upon James and his family. 'The Trust accepted, in 2009, liability for the injuries which James sustained during his birth some 12 years ago. 'Although we cannot turn back the clock, we hope that the compensation, once agreed, will provide the reassurance that James’ future care needs will be met.'

Marseille, France (CNN)The French prosecutor leading an investigation into the crash of Germanwings Flight 9525 insisted Wednesday that he was not aware of any video footage from on board the plane. Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin told CNN that "so far no videos were used in the crash investigation." He added, "A person who has such a video needs to immediately give it to the investigators." Robin's comments follow claims by two magazines, German daily Bild and French Paris Match, of a cell phone video showing the harrowing final seconds from on board Germanwings Flight 9525 as it crashed into the French Alps. All 150 on board were killed. Paris Match and Bild reported that the video was recovered from a phone at the wreckage site. The two publications described the supposed video, but did not post it on their websites. The publications said that they watched the video, which was found by a source close to the investigation. "One can hear cries of 'My God' in several languages," Paris Match reported. "Metallic banging can also be heard more than three times, perhaps of the pilot trying to open the cockpit door with a heavy object. Towards the end, after a heavy shake, stronger than the others, the screaming intensifies. Then nothing." "It is a very disturbing scene," said Julian Reichelt, editor-in-chief of Bild online. An official with France's accident investigation agency, the BEA, said the agency is not aware of any such video. Lt. Col. Jean-Marc Menichini, a French Gendarmerie spokesman in charge of communications on rescue efforts around the Germanwings crash site, told CNN that the reports were "completely wrong" and "unwarranted." Cell phones have been collected at the site, he said, but that they "hadn't been exploited yet." Menichini said he believed the cell phones would need to be sent to the Criminal Research Institute in Rosny sous-Bois, near Paris, in order to be analyzed by specialized technicians working hand-in-hand with investigators. But none of the cell phones found so far have been sent to the institute, Menichini said. Asked whether staff involved in the search could have leaked a memory card to the media, Menichini answered with a categorical "no." Reichelt told "Erin Burnett: Outfront" that he had watched the video and stood by the report, saying Bild and Paris Match are "very confident" that the clip is real. He noted that investigators only revealed they'd recovered cell phones from the crash site after Bild and Paris Match published their reports. "That is something we did not know before. ... Overall we can say many things of the investigation weren't revealed by the investigation at the beginning," he said. What was mental state of Germanwings co-pilot? German airline Lufthansa confirmed Tuesday that co-pilot Andreas Lubitz had battled depression years before he took the controls of Germanwings Flight 9525, which he's accused of deliberately crashing last week in the French Alps. Lubitz told his Lufthansa flight training school in 2009 that he had a "previous episode of severe depression," the airline said Tuesday. Email correspondence between Lubitz and the school discovered in an internal investigation, Lufthansa said, included medical documents he submitted in connection with resuming his flight training. The announcement indicates that Lufthansa, the parent company of Germanwings, knew of Lubitz's battle with depression, allowed him to continue training and ultimately put him in the cockpit. Lufthansa, whose CEO Carsten Spohr previously said Lubitz was 100% fit to fly, described its statement Tuesday as a "swift and seamless clarification" and said it was sharing the information and documents -- including training and medical records -- with public prosecutors. Spohr traveled to the crash site Wednesday, where recovery teams have been working for the past week to recover human remains and plane debris scattered across a steep mountainside. He saw the crisis center set up in Seyne-les-Alpes, laid a wreath in the village of Le Vernet, closer to the crash site, where grieving families have left flowers at a simple stone memorial. Menichini told CNN late Tuesday that no visible human remains were left at the site but recovery teams would keep searching. French President Francois Hollande, speaking Tuesday, said that it should be possible to identify all the victims using DNA analysis by the end of the week, sooner than authorities had previously suggested. In the meantime, the recovery of the victims' personal belongings will start Wednesday, Menichini said. Among those personal belongings could be more cell phones belonging to the 144 passengers and six crew on board. Check out the latest from our correspondents . The details about Lubitz's correspondence with the flight school during his training were among several developments as investigators continued to delve into what caused the crash and Lubitz's possible motive for downing the jet. A Lufthansa spokesperson told CNN on Tuesday that Lubitz had a valid medical certificate, had passed all his examinations and "held all the licenses required." Earlier, a spokesman for the prosecutor's office in Dusseldorf, Christoph Kumpa, said medical records reveal Lubitz suffered from suicidal tendencies at some point before his aviation career and underwent psychotherapy before he got his pilot's license. Kumpa emphasized there's no evidence suggesting Lubitz was suicidal or acting aggressively before the crash. Investigators are looking into whether Lubitz feared his medical condition would cause him to lose his pilot's license, a European government official briefed on the investigation told CNN on Tuesday. While flying was "a big part of his life," the source said, it's only one theory being considered. Another source, a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation, also told CNN that authorities believe the primary motive for Lubitz to bring down the plane was that he feared he would not be allowed to fly because of his medical problems. Lubitz's girlfriend told investigators he had seen an eye doctor and a neuropsychologist, both of whom deemed him unfit to work recently and concluded he had psychological issues, the European government official said. But no matter what details emerge about his previous mental health struggles, there's more to the story, said Brian Russell, a forensic psychologist. "Psychology can explain why somebody would turn rage inward on themselves about the fact that maybe they weren't going to keep doing their job and they're upset about that and so they're suicidal," he said. "But there is no mental illness that explains why somebody then feels entitled to also take that rage and turn it outward on 149 other people who had nothing to do with the person's problems."

A former Fortune 500 executive from New Hampshire will serve between nine and 20 years in prison for causing a highway crash that killed a Vermont couple and their unborn baby. Robert Dellinger, 54, was sentenced on Thursday to two four-and-a-half to ten year sentences that are to be served consecutively in the December 2013 deaths of Amanda Murphy, 24, who was 8 months pregnant, and her fiance, 29-year-old Jason Timmons. Prosecution claimed he deliberately drove his vehicle head-on into the couple's car because he was depressed and wanted to kill himself. During the second day of the sentence hearing, he was given credit for the 15 months he has spent in jail since the crash, which means he could be released in less than eight years.

On Thursday, he was also sentenced to three-and-a-half to seven years in prison on the assault charge, all suspended, according to Valley News. His lawyer said that Dellinger might petition to have one of the consecutive sentences suspended. The family of Murphy and Timmons declined to comment following the sentencing. Prosecutors previously said Dellinger told investigators he was trying to kill himself in December 2013 when he drove his pickup truck across an Interstate 89 median and smashed into an SUV carrying the couple. Relatives of Murphy and Timmons tore into Dellinger on Wednesday during the first of the two-day sentencing hearing. 'I have been robbed and violated. I will never see or touch my child ever again,' Timmons' mother, Debbie Blanchard, said as she fought back tears. 'How could you be so heartless? You still have a family; you have taken mine from me', reports the Valley News of West Lebanon.

'You have my deepest, most heartfelt apology, condolences and remorse for your loss. I am so sorry,' the 54-year-old Dellinger said through sobs. 'My guilt and remorse will be with me forever. I ask for your forgiveness, and I pray for your healing.' Dellinger, of Sunapee, New Hampshire, was a senior vice president and chief financial officer at PPG Industries Inc. when he left in 2011 because of health problems.

'We are devastated by the deaths of your loved ones,' she said as her husband broke down at the defense table. 'We have been and continue to pray every day for your collective peace and comfort.' Dellinger reportedly broke down in tears at the defense table as his wife was speaking to the relatives of Murphy and Timmons. Defense lawyers have said Dellinger was suffering from delirium due to a 'toxic regime' of prescription medications for multiple sclerosis and depression. In asking for a shorter sentence, they also contend he was suffering from withdrawal of a sleeping aid. Robert Dellinger thanked his family and friends for their support in court on Wednesday. He told a judge that he was not suicidal at the time of the crash . Attorney Steven Gordon wrote in a sentencing brief they now know 'a medical event' was the main cause 'of this accident.' Dellinger has been jailed since his arrest in December. Investigators said Dellinger told them that on the day of the accident he 'had a disagreement with his wife and went to Vermont to drive around. He said he was very depressed and gloomy and wanted to have a car wreck and kill himself.' On Wednesday, Dellinger told the court: 'I have never been suicidal.' Assistant Attorney General Geoffrey Ward said in court that Dellinger's truck reached 101 mph in the seconds before the crash and was going 87 mph one second before he hit the SUV. His truck sheared off the top of the SUV. The medical examiner's report compared the injuries suffered by Murphy and Timmons to those of plane crash victims. Dellinger suffered cuts and bruises. This is a picture of the scene of the crash after Dellinger careened over the central median in December 2013 .

The new chief executive of Rotherham council could be paid up to £40,000 more than the outgoing boss, because of 'negative publicity' from the grooming scandal. The council will now offer up to £200,000 to candidates, rather than the £160,000 enjoyed by former chief boss Martin Kimber.

Promposals are the big trend in high school proms as teens think up progressively more outlandish ways to ask each other to the biggest dance of the year. They are so big, in fact, that students this year will likely spend of a third of their prom budgets on the elaborate new ritual, according to a new survey. With budgets for outfits, flowers, transportation, food and other sundries at around $1,000 for the average American high schooler, that means most intend to spend $324 on the once-simple query: Will you go to prom with me?

Jenson Button could do no more than 'look at the positives' in the wake of another frustrating day at the wheel of his faltering McLaren. After stopping on track in each of the practice sessions on Friday due to technical issues, Button made it a hat-trick in qualifying for the Bahrain Grand Prix. After just three corners of the Bahrain International Circuit, the 35-year-old ground to a halt with what the team believe to be another electrical issue. Jenson Button was given a lift back to the pits on a motorcycle by a marshal after his engine failure . In first practice on Friday, the engine in Button's car cut out at the first corner of his opening quick lap due to an electrical failure, and then come FP2 a sensor issue forced him to pull over. Racing director Eric Boullier insists the problems are 'unrelated', and 'just glitches stopping the car'. The latest glitch, however, means Button will start the race 20th and last - his lowest grid slot since the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix, when he was driving for current power-unit suppliers Honda. In contrast, and on the upside, team-mate Fernando Alonso managed to get a McLaren into Q2 for the first time this season and will start 14th. Describing his emotions, Button said: 'We're racing drivers and you want to drive your racing car as fast as you can. 'Obviously when you are limited to running in P1 and P2, with two stops on the circuit, it's tough. 'But given how things felt this weekend, in terms of driving the car this morning, it felt pretty good. Button jumps out of his McLaren after failing to complete the qualifying session in Bahrain . 'I was quite happy with it. I ended up 11th. It's still only P3, but it was a good feeling. 'With Fernando in qualifying, our best qualifying getting into Q2, you have to look at the positives. 'You would say we're definitely making progress - we're improving every race we go to - but just a tough weekend on my side of the garage.' Alonso finished just four tenths of a second off reaching the top-10 shoot-out, but concedes he needs a helping hand if he is to finish in the points. The double world champion said: 'We're a little closer than any other race this year, but we have to keep our feet on the ground. Fernando Alonso managed to get a McLaren into Q2 for the first time this season . '(On Saturday) we were 14th fastest, so (on Sunday) if nothing happens we will be 14th fastest in the race probably. 'This is not enough to be in the points. We know our limitations are still there, so we will try to do our best. 'Races can change quickly. Some things can happen at the start, with pit stops, so we will take any opportunity we have. 'The main priority is to finish the race, hopefully with both cars, to learn as much as we can with this car. 'The position at the end will depend on many factors, and probably a little bit it depends on the others as well. 'If we want some points probably we need some help.'

A teenage boy who stood before his Florida church and made a heartbreaking plea for someone to adopt him has finally found the loving family he has always craved. Davion Navar Henry Only, 16, had spent his entire life in foster care after his mother gave birth to him behind bars. Three years after his emotional plea at St Mark Missionary Baptist Church in St Petersburg he has finally found a permanent home with the woman who first met him as a seven-year-old when she became his caseworker. Scroll down for video . Davion Only, 16, who captured hearts in 2013 when he made a plea for a family to 'love him forever', has been adopted by his old caseworker Connie Bell Going (right) and her family . Davion plays on the Xbox in his bedroom with his soon-to-be adopted mom Connie sitting behind him together with her daughter Carley, 17, and her adopted son, Taylor, 14 . Throughout Davion's search for a family, and his years in the system, Connie Bell Going, had been by his side. On April 22 she will officially become Davion's mother. She admitted that it has not always easy integrating him into her existing family, but she said it was worth it. Since August, Davion has been spending weekends with Connie and her daughters, Sydney, 21, Carley, 17, and with her adopted son Taylor, who is now 14. Then in December, Going took the steps to begin the adoption process and Davion moved with the rest of the family into a larger home. Since then there have fights and tables have been flipped, but in the end everyone loves one another, and she is prepared for the challenges. 'I'm okay with messy and difficult,' she told the Tampa Bay Times. 'You just have to have your armor on all the time, but it's more than worth it. And every day things get a little bit better.' Davion became an example of the struggle faced by many teenagers in the system when in 2013 he stood up and told worshipers at his church: 'My name is Davion and I've been in foster care since I was born. I know God hasn't given up on me, so I'm not giving up either.' He then said: 'I'll take anyone. Old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don't care. And I would be really appreciative. The best I could be.' Davion Only, 16, has been adopted by his old case worker, Connie Bell Going in Florida (above). She has known the teen since he was seven years old. Davion had been in the foster care system his entire life . Davion (above) captured hearts in 2013 when he made a plea in front of a St Petersburg church congregation for a family to 'love him forever' Most of all, Davion said he just wanted a family that would 'love him forever'. Millions of people around the country soon heard about Davion's story, and the young boy was even interviewed by Barbara Walters on The View, which all eventually led to him being adopted by a minister in Ohio and his family. That is until Davion got into a fight with one of the other children, and the minister sent him back to Florida, and back to live in the foster care system. After Davion returned, people kept asking Going what it was that went wrong and caused him to be sent back after just three months. 'That boy spent his whole life in the system, that's what went wrong,' she said. Making matters worse, Davion and Miss Connie, as he calls her, did not speak when he came back to Florida. Davion had cut himself off from other people, playing video games as he quickly went through four different homes and four schools in less than year. Davion Only (pictured above with Connie Going at the church where he made his speech in 2013) was adopted by a minister in Ohio but sent back into the system a few months later when he fought with one of the minister's children . Going says she had begun to call him numerous times, but he always hung up the phone. Then, one night last July, Davion called up Miss Connie and asked her the question he had been asking since they first met when he was only a little boy. 'Do you remember what I asked you before?' he said. 'Well, how do you feel about adopting me now?' For the first time since he had asked, Going was finally able to give him the answer he wanted to hear. The 52-year-old case worker has three children of her own, one adopted and two biological daughters, and was a single mother, but she was no longer Davion's case worker, which made the process easier. From August through December he started spending more and more time with the family, a perfect fit as he was already close to Going's adopted son Taylor. Then, in December, Going got a lawyer and began the process of adopting Davion. Davion Only (pictured above in church three years ago) called and asked Miss Connie if she would adopt him last July . Davion got his first bedroom, his first set of siblings, and, most importantly, the one thing he had been hoping for all along. 'I guess I always thought of you as my mom,' Davion said to Going last December. 'Only now I get to call you that for real, right?' Davion officially became part of the family in February however, when after he and Going celebrated their birthdays, which fall on the same date, they went home and sat around the table for cake with his three siblings and signed the court papers. After 16 years Davion was finally home. What's more, because of that day in September 2013 when Davion stepped up on the pulpit, hundreds of others have been adopted as well. 'I guess I always thought of you as my mom,' Davion (above in 2013) said to Going last December .

Davion Only, 16, captured hearts around the nation in 2013 when he made a plea for a family to 'love him forever' Later this month he will officially be adopted by his old caseworker Connie Bell Going and her family . Davion has been living with her two daughters and another adopted boy since December . Ms Going admitted it has not always been easy but says it is worth it  and 'everyday it gets a little bit better'

United go into the clash against City ahead of them in the Premier League table for the first time since the Sir Alex Ferguson era, and victory at Old Trafford could see them move four points clear of Manuel Pellegrini's side in fourth. With seven games to go, the two Manchester sides are battling out with Arsenal for second place in the Premier League, and hoping to stave off any potential surge into the Champions League positions from the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham, who linger in fifth and sixth respectively. City have won on their last three visits to Old Trafford - the famous 6-1 in 2011/12, 2-1 in 2012/13 and 3-0 last season - which is a run Rooney and Co will be desperately hoping to bring to an end.

'We want to give United fans something to smile about when they go to work on Monday morning, we want them to be the ones to be able to give out the banter to Manchester City fans at work.

Spanish midfielder Herrera will be hoping to continue the fine form that has seen him become one of United's key players recently . While midfielder Ashley Young is also desperate to bring an end to their wretched recent run against Manchester City. He said: 'We know it will be tough but as long as we can play the way we have shown, especially in the last few games, and add to that, it's going to be a great game and hopefully we will get the three points. 'We want to keep the momentum going and the positive play. It would be nice (to finish above City) but we are just taking each game as it comes. It is obviously going to be another tough one against City next week but we will prepare as well as we can do as we always do.'

Washington (CNN)Washington was rocked late Thursday by shootings -- one at the gates of the U.S. Census Bureau's headquarters and another in a popular area packed with restaurant patrons. The shootings were connected, authorities said. They began with what authorities believe was a domestic kidnapping incident, according to D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier. The suspect's vehicle was spotted outside the Census Bureau, which is in Suitland, Maryland. A guard apparently approached the vehicle and saw two people arguing. That guard was then shot at least once in the upper body, said Prince George's County Fire Department spokesman Mark Brady. The guard was in extremely critical condition, according to Brady. The police chief said the suspect then fled the scene. Officers picked up the chase, and the suspect fired gunshots at multiple locations, Lanier said. The chase ended in a crash on Washington's busy H Street. A shootout ensues, Lanier said. An officer and the suspect were wounded, according to the police chief. Both were conscious and talking when they left the scene. "Right now, we have every reason to believe that the car that we have in this last incident here is the same car involved and the same person involved in the kidnapping," she said. Lanier told reporters the kidnapping victim was located and is in good condition. She did not identify the suspect, nor the guard, nor the officer who were injured. Steve Brusk reported from Washington. Dana Ford wrote from Atlanta. CNN's Greg Botelho also contributed to this report.

A drunk father-of-two faces hours of agonising laser surgery after mis-spelling his own son's name while giving himself a DIY tattoo. Tom Moffatt, 27, from Ashton-under-Lyne in Tameside, Greater Manchester, was meant to ink 'Riley' - the name of his four-year-old son - into his left arm. But instead of the letter 'L', Mr Moffatt started needling the letter P - and had to urgently 'scribble' over the mistake. What was he thi-ink-ing? Tom Moffatt, 27, from Ashton-under-Lyne in Tameside, Greater Manchester, inked his son Riley's name into his arm - but accidentally spelled it incorrectly . Error: Instead of 'L', Mr Moffatt started needling 'P' and had to quickly scribble over it (left). He also attempted to mark himself with Riley's nickname 'Sonny Boy' - but ended up scratching 'Sony Boy' instead (right) He also attempted to mark himself with Riley's nickname 'Sonny Boy' - but ended up scratching 'Sony Boy' across his knuckles instead. The makeshift tattoo session took place in Mr Moffatt's living room with a £70 ink gun bought online. The NHS worker was drunk at the time and said he now considers the inkwork a 'nightmare'. He said: 'I'd never picked up a tattoo gun in my life and I got told by my brother not to do, but I just didn't listen. 'Now, my family are always saying "you're an idiot, Tom" and there are plenty of jokes at my expense from my mates. I can't repeat what they say about it. 'I have to hide my arm when I go for interviews. Even Riley has started to notice and points at those tattoos and says "daddy, I don't like those ones". It's a nightmare.' Among his homegrown tattoos, Mr Moffatt also has a wonky cross on his forearm, which he drew just a few months after Riley's birth in 2012. He has just endured his second hour-long laser removal session in a bid to get rid of the botched needlework.

Painful: But because the ink has gone so deep, Mr Moffatt is unsure how many more sessions he needs to have . He said: 'I've got a long journey ahead of me to get them all off and I pressed it so deep in one that it's going to be very difficult to get it off.' Mr Moffatt, who also has a two-year-old daughter Kya with partner Rachael Higgins, 23, now wants to use his experience to highlight why people should not attempt to draw their own tattoos. He said: 'Once I've got them off, my job isn't done. We want to try and get a campaign going so people like me can't just go out and buy a gun with no questions asked. 'You shouldn't be able to go on the internet as a 15-year-old Joe Bloggs and buy one. I want to get the message out there that tattoos should only be done by professionals.' The owner of the Maria Patricia Tattoo Removals, where he is being treated, says Mr Moffatt's situation is a stark warning against the dangers of unregulated ink work. Maria said: 'There needs to be more regulation. People don't realise the dangers of the buying off tattoo guns and ink off the internet. 'Tom did just that and had to Google the instructions of how to use it. It might seem like a laugh with mates when you're drunk but it's not easy to fix the damage and people can be left with scarring if they're not careful. 'We're all for tattoos but people need to be aware they can wreck lives and make it difficult to get jobs.' Mr Moffatt, a machine operator working on NHS hospital equipment, will appear in Tattoo Disasters UK, which airs each Tuesday, new and exclusive to Spike.

This adorable dancer's incredible balancing skills have made her on overnight internet sensation. The talented toddler, believed to be from China and female, carefully balances three small bowls on her head as she performs a series of dance moves to music. Happily bobbing along to the music, the youngster who is thought to be aged between two and three years old, slowly spins around being careful not to drop the dinnerware, as seen in a video on the People's Daily Online. Tiny dancer: This talented toddler has become an internet sensation in China after the video of her dancing went viral . With a look of pure concentration she continues to spin, lifting her arms to the traditional folk music. Gaining confidence the tiny dancer drops to floor in a crouch and - for the first time - her carefully balanced crockery gives a wobble. But with the most minor of adjustments, the bowls are made safe and the dance continues. The video has been reposted by numerous Chinese video sites after it was first featured on Jiangsu Satellite TV station in China this week. The youngster has a look of pure concentration as she balances the three bowls which appear to be ceramic on her head . She carefully spins around to the music, in an adorable attempt at what appears to be a traditional female dance performed by the Uyghur people in northwestern China . The toddler may have been performing the traditional dance of the Uyghur - a Turkic people originally from Central Asia which have a large population in the Xinjiang Autonomous Region in northwestern China. The dance is also very similar to the Mongolian Bowl Dance, a folk dance which is performed by female dancers across Asia. Linked to hospitality, the feminine Zhongwan is performed by women who balance several bowls on their head and then dance with incredible skill and grace. Mongolian dances are closely connected with song or story. Men's dances feature masculine activities including the horse and sword dance, the hawk dance, and the roughrider dance. Other female folk dances such as the Chopsticks Dance (Kuaizi) or Milking Dance (Jinai).

Boris Johnson was accused of ‘breath-taking cheek’ after he set out his vision of ‘moral purpose’ in business and politics. The London Mayor praised the Coalition for having kept down unemployment and not returning to the dole queues of 1980s Britain. He said the fact that more jobs were being created was ‘one of the absolute moral triumphs’ of the government. Boris Johnson, who is standing to be a Tory MP in a west London constituency, has set out his vision of ‘moral purpose’ in business and politics . The comments by Mr Johnson, who is standing to be a Tory MP in a west London constituency, will be seen as an attempt to position himself as a future party leader. Labour’s Stephen Pound accused the London Mayor of 'breath-taking cheek' Last night Labour’s Stephen Pound, who is fighting to defend a nearby seat, said: ‘I’m thinking of a sentence with the words pot, kettle and black in it.’ ‘It seems that Boris’s motto is “do as I say, not as I do”. It really is breath-taking cheek. He obviously has a different definition of “moral” to most of my constituents.’ In 2004, Mr Johnson admitted a four-year affair with the journalist Petronella Wyatt while he was married to his second wife Marina, with whom he has four children. Five years later he fathered a child by Helen Macintyre, an unpaid adviser in the London Assembly. Mr Johnson spoke about morality in an interview with the London Evening Standard, saying he believed wealth creation was there to fund public services such as schools and hospitals. He said: ‘I think this country was harrowed by the experience of mass unemployment in the early Eighties. ‘One of the absolute moral triumphs of this Coalition government has been to get us through the worst recession for 50 years without seeing a return to those levels of unemployment.’

This is the moment when an angry woman forced an elderly man to kneel in the street after he accidentally knocked her phone out of her hand. The video, filmed at an undisclosed location in China, sees the woman demand that the man pays compensation for her damaged phone as she slaps him in the middle of a busy road. Despite the elderly man promising to pay her back once he has the means to do so, she continues to berate him in front of witnesses, the People's Daily Online reports. Scroll down for video . Street attack: The shocking video was filmed after the elderly man knocked the woman's phone out of her hand, causing the screen to break . The shocking exchange was filmed by a witness and it had since gone viral on Chinese social media. The woman had allegedly been taking pictures of her children with her new iPhone 6 plus when the old man passed through on his moped. He accidentally bumped into the woman’s shoulder and her phone fell on the ground, and the screen cracked, the newspaper reports. The woman demanded the old man to compensate for repairing her phone, which he promised to do, but adding that it would have to wait as he did not have the money there and then. ‘The old man’s voice was trembling and he had tears in his eyes,’ a witnesses said, describing how the woman called four friends to the scene. Abuse: After being told that the man does not have the money to pay her back straight away, she is seen slapping him twice in the street . In the clip, the woman can be heard demanding that he pays her on the spot, despite his assurance that she will be compensated eventually . ‘The young woman’s friends hit the old man’s hat constantly and discussed whether they should really hit him,’the witness said. After a long verbal argument between the young woman and the old man, she is said to have demanded: ‘Kneel down for apology, then I will forget the money!’ The old man allegedly came off his moped, falling over as he kneeled down. 'His disability became apparent to the crowd but the young woman’s action became more infuriating,' a witness said. ‘The young lady just stood in front of the old man and slapped him twice.' In the clip, the woman can be heard demanding that he pays her on the spot, despite his assurance that she will be compensated eventually. Although no one called the police, the authority has investigated further after the clip went online. A user, posting under the username ‘The girl who sells tea eggs’, wrote: It was the old man’s fault that he bumped into the young woman but this is definitely not a reason to slap someone. 'The old man has to pay a compensation for sure but they could have called the police to settle the matter. If you stand in the old man’s shoes, you would be very angry as well. How can one compare the value of a phone and the old man’s dignity? How can people be so cold-hearted? The young woman has been called to report at the police station.

Greg Dyke has vowed there will be no repeat of the FA’s failure to deliver potentially life-saving research into links between concussion and early on-set dementia. The Football Association chairman admits his organisation’s response to former West Bromwich Albion striker Jeff Astle’s death aged 59 in 2002, from ‘industrial disease’ linked to repetitive head injuries sustained playing football, was ‘woefully inadequate’. The FA and PFA promised a 10-year study to investigate the connection between head injuries and early on-set dementia after a coroner found Astle’s brain ‘resembled that of a boxer’s’ but a Mail on Sunday investigation last year revealed the research was never carried out.

Baggies striker Saido Berahino wore Astle's No 9 shirt during the Premier League match at The Hawthorns . Dyke went to The Hawthorns on Saturday for the launch of the Jeff Astle Foundation, which aims to raise awareness of head injuries in football while funding future research, and he apologised for the FA’s failure to acknowledge the significance of Astle’s death. ‘We promised the Astle family we would do some research and we didn’t and that is a failure by the FA and yes, we are now going to do it,’ Dyke told the Mail on Sunday. ‘It’s going to be done. There will be a piece of work about head injuries and football. We want to get FIFA involved as well because if we draw some profound conclusions we’ll need to get everyone involved. ‘We’ll help fund the research and we’ll put together a working group and we’ll help fund it too. You need to separate the emotion and do the research and ask, “What do we understand?” The suggestion of the Astle family is that head injuries are more likely to lead to early on-set dementia and that is to do with heading the ball or physical contact. That’s what we need to investigate and understand. ‘Let’s see what the research finds and get FIFA involved too because this isn’t going to be a British-only phenomenon, it’s going to be a worldwide phenomenon. It won’t disappear, that is for certain. That was a bad mistake by the FA (to not carry out research).’ West Bromwich Albion became only the second team in Premier League history to be granted permission to wear a replica strip on Saturday, with their shirts resembling those worn by the 1968 FA Cup-winning side in which Astle scored in every round including the final.

Their match against Leicester City was attended by his wife Laraine and daughters Dawn and Claire, who set up the Justice for Jeff campaign last season after being alerted to the FA and PFA’s failure to deliver promised research by the Mail on Sunday. ‘My Jeff died not knowing he had ever been a professional footballer,’ Laraine said. ‘We were promised research into the issue and it wasn’t until we were alerted by the Mail on Sunday that it hadn’t been carried out that we knew any different. None of this would have happened if it hadn’t been for the Mail on Sunday.’ West Brom’s fans held up placards nine minutes into Saturday's game proclaiming ‘Astle is King’ in remembrance of a man whose death could yet prove the catalyst to drastic improvements to concussion protocols in sport. ‘This is just too important to let go,’ Dawn said. ‘We have been inundated with calls from concerned families who believe their dads or husbands are suffering dementia prematurely because of the head injuries they suffered as professional footballers. ‘There are too many cases for it to be coincidence. Sport’s governing bodies have paid lip service to this for far too long and have been allowed to get away with it. That has to stop.

Greg Dyke has vowed there will be no repeat of the FA’s failure to deliver potentially life-saving research . ‘My dad loved the game but ultimately it killed him. Everybody who plays the game needs to know that it comes with a risk. Players need to leave the field if they suffer a head injury. ‘We’ve been encouraged by the FA and PFA’s response in recent months but it’s taken them too long to address this.’ Sections of Astle’s brain were re-examined at Glasgow Southern General Hospital last year by Professor Willie Stewart, who confirmed the striker had been suffering from the neurodegenerative disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which was previously believed only to be found in boxers. But studies in the United States have revealed a far higher incidence of CTE in American footballers than the wider population, while sports including rugby, horse racing, boxing and ice hockey are also now on high alert following a massive lawsuit involving the NFL and retired players suffering dementia. Prof Stewart called Saturday's launch of the Jeff Astle Foundation ‘a landmark day’. He went on: ‘Though Jeff was the first former footballer recognised with CTE, sadly he will not be the last. And the foundation will provide a source of information and support for people within sport affected by dementia, and their families. It has taken 13 years to get this far in football. We cannot allow another 13 years to slip by without action.’ Saturday’s match was attended by a host of celebrity backers, including 1966 World Cup-winning goalkeeper Gordon Banks, as well as concussion campaigners like Peter Robinson, whose 14-year-old rugby-playing son Ben died in 2011 after being allowed to play on after suffering repeated blows to the head. ‘If one person present at the game had recognised the signs of concussion or understood how dangerous it could be then my Ben would still be alive,’ Peter Robinson said. ‘There has been too much lip service paid to the issue in the past. It’s time to act.’

Consumers could soon have to pay goods and services tax (GST) on their movie and music downloads in a government moves to reel in extra billions of dollars in revenue. Treasurer Joe Hockey said the states had agreed to work toward applying the 10 per cent GST to movies and music downloaded from streaming services such as Netflix and Apple. The changes may also affect consumers buying any products for less than $1,000 online from overseas, thus affecting companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon and eBay. But consumer advocacy group Choice says tech-savvy Australian consumers might be able to avoid the tax by concealing their location through virtual private networks, which make them appear to be outside the country. Scroll down for video . Australian movie and music downloaders could soon be slapped with a 10 per cent tax in a move that could reel in billions of additional GST revenue for the federal government . Choice argues that the government should instead be tackling the exorbitant domestic costs of TV shows, music and movies, and difficulties accessing them. Netflix subscription: 90c increase to $9.90 . Standard iTunes song: 22c increase to $2.41 . Google Play movie: 60c increase to $6.60 . Standard Amazon song: 13c increase to $1.42 . Adobe Creative Cloud subscription: 99c increase to $10.99 . 'We need to make it easier ... in order to encourage greater competition,' Choice chief executive Alan Kirkland told ABC radio on Friday. Netflix has indicated that it would increase the cost of its service in line with any new laws and regulations. 'We pay taxes as required under local and national law,' a spokesperson from Netflix US head office said. With an $8.99 per month fee for its service, Netflix customers would only have to pay at least an extra 90c while song downloaders would pay an additional 22c for $2.19 track on iTunes.

Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey announced that each states and territories' treasurer had agreed to the tax, which he declared was an 'integrity measures for the tax base, not the broadening of the GST or an increase of the GST'. 'The states agreed in principle that we should move in that regard. I have offered to work as quickly as possible with them to introduce legislation to address that in relation to intangibles,' Mr Hockey said, according to the Financial Review. It comes after News Corp Australia chief executive Julian Clarke slammed the foreign companies' ability to avoid paying tax, consequently leading to an unlevelled playing field in the advertising market. Mr Clarke implored the government to 'fix that problem' during a Senate Standing Committees on Economics in which he argued against the disadvantage of competing against overseas companies with a lower operating cost.

Over the past couple of weeks it hasn't just been Zayn Malik's departure from One Direction that has been making the headlines, it's been his personal life too. For Zayn's relationship with Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards as come under scrutiny as the 22-year-old was once again accused of cheating on his fiance. At the weekend Swedish model Martina Olsson claimed that she had slept with Zayn while he was holidaying in Thailand recently. Scroll down for video . Zayn and Perrie pictured in happier times, the young couple have this week jetted off on what was thought to be a make or break holiday following accusations of him cheating . The 24-year-old told The Sun On Sunday's James Beale: 'Perrie should not stay with Zayn any longer because he has cheated on her and continues to lie about it. It is not the first time either, so maybe she will walk away.' And Martina is right, this isn't the first time Zayn has been accused of cheating. In fact, the pair's union could be compared to that of Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Ashley Cole. The similarities are certainly there. Like Cheryl and Ashley both Zayn and Perrie, 21, have enjoyed a huge amount of fame. And like Cheryl and Ashley their romance has been dogged with cheating allegations, almost from the start. Cheryl and Ashley were happily married until she discovered that he had cheated on her on several occasions . The X Factor alumni twosome first got together in August 2011 but by August 2012 it was being reported that Zayn had been filmed through the keyhole of a hotel room with another woman. Then in February 2013 the couple were hit by a kiss and tell when Australian waitress Courtney Webb told The Sun newspaper than she had bedded the then 20-year-old. Courtney - who took photos of Zayn while he was asleep - said at the time: 'He's an absolute s**t. How dare he - not only to me but to Perrie?' She also added: 'I definitely don't think it's the first time he's done this. I feel sorry for Perrie - she doesn't know this is going on. It's wrong and it has to stop.' Then at the beginning of March Zayn was pictured with his arm around a girl named Lauren Richardson in Thailand, a second shot showed the pair holding hands. Zayn has been accused of cheating on four occasions, the first was by Courtney Webb (left), the most recent was Swedish model Martina Olsson . When Courtney claimed she had bedded Zayn she claimed took these photographs of him apparently sleeping in her bed . After this picture of Zayn with Lauren Richardson was released he Tweeted saying that he loved Perrie . This photograph enraged One Direction fans as it appears that Zayn is holding Lauren's hand in the picture . That was, in fact, the only time that Zayn, who left One Direction last week after five years in the band, has made any comment on the stories of his betrayal. He took to Twitter to say: 'I'm 22 years old... I love a girl named Perrie Edwards. And there's a lot of jealous f*** in this world I'm sorry for what it looks like x' But just a week or so later Martina's claims came out. She alleged that Zayn had asked her to share a shower with him before taking her to the bedroom of the apartment where he was staying. For Cheryl, who is now re-married, the cheating rumours eventually became too much and she ended her marriage to Ashley in 2010. At the time the footballer had been accused of cheating her two years. The first was hairdresser Aimee Walton who claimed to have slept with him. By February 2010, just a month before Cheryl announced their split, four more women had come forward to say the same. Zayn and Perrie got engaged in 2013 but he has since been accused of cheating on her on several occasions . Tracey Cox says that Zayn's level of fame will be difficult for someone so young . But Perrie, who accepted Zayn's marriage proposal in August 2013, is currently sticking by her man - who has yet to comment on the latest allegations. She and Zayn were pictured boarding a private jet earlier this week and are thought to be on a 'make or break' holiday. For the most part though, despite the on-going accusations of infidelity, Zayn has remained relatively high in public favour - unlike Ashley. We spoke to relationship expert Tracey Cox who told us that this could be because he is younger. She said: 'I think at this point the public are more lenient on him because he is a young guy in a boy band rather than a footballer, who are known for excessive behaviour and thinking the rules don't apply to them. 'But the main difference between his behaviour and that of Ashley Cole is that he's young. 'His fame might seem appealing but the reality of coping with that much money and fame at such a young age is going to have consequences. 'Of course, he's going to make some mistakes along the way. I believe him when he says he's stressed. Will Perrie and Zayn's relationship ended up like Cheryl and Ashley's? Tracey continued: 'Ashley is older and, as an adult, should have the maturity to go beyond instant gratification to be able to think through the consequences. 'The other difference of course is that Ashley was married to Cheryl while Zayn is dating. There's a different level of commitment there. 'But, even having said all that, I would join others in cautioning Perrie about trusting him again. 'The evidence appears clear that some type of infidelity is happening on a regular basis and by taking him back after each incident, Perrie is effectively saying it's OK to cheat.' MailOnline has contacted Zayn's representative for comment.

Zayn and Perrie's relationship has been dogged with cheating rumours . Zayn has been accused of sleeping with several different women . Much like Ashley Cole who was accused of cheating on Cheryl Cole . Cheryl and Ashley - who were married for four years - divorced in 2010 .

Manchester United have confirmed their plans to revisit the USA on pre-season this summer after agreeing to Louis van Gaal’s desire to head to America rather than Asia. United’s shirt sponsors Chevrolet are keen for the club to visit the Far East as the American car giant seeks to expand its business in that part of the world and were enthusiastic about that trip taking place this summer. However, after months of discussions between the United board and manager Van Gaal the club will once again head across the Atlantic for a four-game tour signed off by the manager. Manchester United's pre-season tour of the United States will see them play Louis van Gaal's ex-club Barca . The pre-season plans have been organised to Van Gaal's liking after he was unhappy last year in USA . The Premier League giants will face Club America, San Jose Earthquakes, Barcelona and PSG . United will play once again in the International Champions’ Cup, the tournament they won in America last summer. This time, though, with Van Gaal’s influence over all matters of club business growing ever stronger, the club will squeeze four games in to 12 days before heading back to England on July 30 in order to recover in time for the start of the Barclays Premier League season on August 8. July 17 - vs Club America . CenturyLink Field, Seattle - 72,000 capacity . July 21 - vs San Jose Earthquakes . TBC . July 25 - vs Barcelona . Levi's Stadium, California - 68,500 capacity . July 29 - vs Paris Saint-Germain . Soldier Field, Chicago - 61,500 capacity . Van Gaal was furious last summer with the amount of travelling United had to do as they zig-zagged around America, playing games in Pasadena, Denver, Washington, Detroit and Miami. This time, United will be based largely on the west coast, playing games against Club America in Seattle, San Jose Earthquakes, at a venue to be announced and Barcelona near San Francisco before facing PSG in Chicago on the way home. As revealed earlier this month in Sportsmail, the tournament organisers have essentially organised this summer’s tournament around United’s needs. For example, there will be no final this year in order to avoid last summer’s rather delicate situation that saw an irritated Van Gaal having to take his team to Miami for four days for a game he really had no desire to play. It is understood that United will use Seattle as their base before their first game this summer. Next summer’s tour, meanwhile, will almost certainly be to Asia, a continent United haven’t visited since David Moyes’ pre-season of 2013. Ander Herrera, David De Gea and Juan Mata (left to right) hold the trophy after beating Liverpool in Miami . The squad reached the final of the 2014 International Champions Cup, but had travelled about 13,500 miles . July 24 - Manchester United 7-0 LA Galaxy (Pasadena) Attendance: 86,432 . July 26 - Manchester United 3-2 Roma (Denver) Attendance: 54, 117 . July 30 - Manchester United 0-0 Inter Milan (Washington) Attendance: 61,238 . August 2 - Manchester United 3-1 Real Madrid (Michigan) Attendance: 109,318 . August 5 - Manchester United 3-1 Liverpool (Miami) Attendance: 51,014 . Total distance covered between July 24 and August 5: about 13,500 mile .

Michael Vaughan, who is favourite to become England’s cricket supremo, was quick to condemn the openers after West Indies got them both out early on. With Jonathan Trott out without scoring in the first over and captain Alastair Cook failing again Vaughan said: ‘Their footwork and their mindset has been about looking to survive rather than getting on top.’ Geoff Boycott was also critical of the pair, saying: ‘Opening batsmen are supposed to face the new ball when it’s doing a little bit. If you can’t play that, you’re in the wrong job.’ Michael Vaughan criticised the footwork and mindset of England's top order for just looking to survive . Jonathan Trott was out for a duck on his return to the Test match side in Antigua . Alastair Cook was clean bowled by Kemar Roach for 11 as England struggled on the first morning . Former fast bowler Bob Willis said: ‘England’s top three looked constipated and need a good dose of syrup of figs.’ West Indies’ early success after putting England into bat appeared at that stage to make a mockery of the comment by Colin Graves, the new England and Wales Cricket Board chairman, who labelled the opposition ‘mediocre’.

England's top order collapsed on the first morning in Antigua . Jonathan Trott, Alastair Cook and Gary Ballance all out cheaply . Michael Vaughan critical of footwork and mindset of the trio . Vaughan is favourite to take up role of England cricket director .

A 42-year-old man paralyzed in a Utah neighborhood watch shooting and found guilty of repeatedly having sex with a 17-year-old girl is asking an appeals court to either throw out his conviction or reduce his sentence. Attorneys for 42-year-old David Serbeck on Monday told the Utah Court of Appeals that Serbeck's original lawyers should have pushed harder to exclude or dispute allegations tying his 2007 relationship with the 17-year-old victim to his shooting. Two years after he had sex with the 17-year-old, Serbeck was shot and paralyzed in July 2009 by Reginald Campos, who suspected Serbeck of aggressively following his daughter in an SUV while patrolling their Buffdale neighborhood. Campos' daughter and the 17-year-old victim were not the same girl. Motion: Attorneys for 42-year-old David Serbeck, pictured in court in 2010, are asking an appeals court in Utah to either throw out his sex with a minor conviction or sentence . Serbeck (left) was shot and left paralyzed by the teenage victim's angry father, Reggie Campos (right) in July 2009 after the girl told Campos that Serbeck was aggressively stalking her . In March 2012, Serbeck was found guilty of three felony counts of unlawful sex with a minor and sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. His victim testified during the trial that she was 17 when she and Serbeck had sex three times in his Magna home in 2007. The girl visited him under the guise of playing with his pet snakes. Defense claims: Serbeck's attorney says the jury gave her client a long sentence after being led to believe that Serbeck was shot while out looking for more girls to exploit . The illicit affair came to an abrupt end when a friend discovered nude pictures on the teen's phone and told her parents. Serbeck staunchly denied the accusations, saying the teen, now 24, had a crush on him and wanted to impress her friends. Now, his defense team wants a new sentence for Serbeck, arguing that during the trial his attorneys failed to push back against claims that he was stalking other girls in July 2009 when he was shot and left paralyzed. Attorney Nathalie Skibine told the appeals justices that her client never got the chance to deny allegations of stalking and sex with other minors during his original trial, reported Deseret News. She also argued that the jury gave her client a long sentence after being led to believe that Serbeck was shot while out looking for more girls to exploit, even though he was never charged with any crime in connection to that incident. Prosecutors countered by saying that it was not the implication that Serbeck was on the hunt for more victims that got him the longer sentence, but rather, as the judge put it during his sentencing, his failure to 'own up' to his actions. ‘He has no remorse, he denies it and he considers himself the victim,’ Utah Attorney General Jeffrey Gray told the court Monday. On July 22, 2009, David Serbick was patrolling the Buffdale neighborhood with another man when he noticed two girls on the sidewalk, one of them Reginald Campos' teenage daughter. Campos, pictured here with his family, was convicted of attempted murder and aggravated assault in 2010 . Reprieve: In September 2013, a judge granted Campos parole. The man, pictured in court in 2010, was released from prison last July . The girl went to her father saying that Serbeck aggressively followed her in his SUV, prompting Campos, a married father of four, to grab his gun and go out looking for his daughter's stalker. Campos eventually found Serbeck and fired two shots at him, severing his spine and leaving him permanently paralyzed from the waist down. In 2010, Campos was found guilty of attempted murder and sentenced to three years to life in prison, reported KSL.com. He also received a consecutive term of up to five years in prison on a separate aggravated assault charge. But in September 2013, a judge granted Campos parole. He was released from prison in July 2014. The appeals court will rule on David Serbeck's appeal for a new sentence at a later date. He is due to appear before a parole board in September.

David Serbeck, 42, was found guilty in 2012 of unlawful sex with a 17-year-old girl in 2007 and sentenced to up to 10 years in prison . Another teenage girl's father, Reginald Campos, shot Serbeck in 2009 for stalking his daughter, severing his spine and leaving him paralyzed . His 17-year-old victim came forward after Campos shot him . Serbeck's defense now argues jury gave him a long sentence after being led to believe he was shot while out looking for more girls to exploit .

Hillary Clinton’s now-famous Scooby Doo van made an appearance in Council Bluffs, Iowa on Thursday for a closed-door meeting with state Democratic Party officials – and it idled in a handicapped parking space from beginning to end. Footage broadcast by KETV-7 in the nearby city of Omaha, Nebraska, showed the presidential nominee emerging from a cafe, greeting onlookers and walking past the blue handicapped-parking sign to climb into the vehicle. Secret Service agents are technically federal law enforcement officers, so there was no chance of a parking ticket, even if Scooby had been left unattended. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS . Secret Service agents parked Hillary Clinton's campaign van in a handicapped spot on Thursday while she was in a top-secret meeting with Democratic Party officials . Clinton emerged from the meeting and greeted a handful of onlookers in Council Bluffs, Iowa . SCOOBY-TWO: Clinton's now-iconic souped-up van has a mechanically identical clone, which the Secret Service rolled out as a decoy on Wednesday . KETV trailed Clinton to the Main Street Cafe in Council Bluffs, and spoke to Pottawattamie County Democratic Chairwoman Linda Nelson. The cafe meeting was so secret, Nelson told the station, that everyone in the room was told to hand over their cell phones and cameras before it began. The Secret Service typically does not comment on security arrangements for dignitaries. Mrs. Clinton has round-the-clock protection, including a van chauffeur, because she is the wife of a former U.S. president, Bill Clinton. On Wednesday near Des Moines, Iowa, Daily Mail Online trailed Clinton's motorcade. The phalanx of 7 cars included a second 'Scooby'-mobile outfitted to look identical to the one Clinton was riding in. At one point that van's driver forced an interloping driver out of the way and drove through a red light to keep up with the group.

Nearly one out of six NFL players will declare bankruptcy within 12 years of retiring from the league, a shocking new study has revealed. The rate of bankruptcy, 15.7percent - remained the same no matter how long the players were in the league or how well they were paid, according to researchers from the California Institute of Technology, George Washington University and the University of Washington. Despite earning millions of dollars - sometimes tens of millions - former players go broke at about 1.1percent per year, the same rate as the rest of Americans. Bleak future: Despite NFL players earning millions - sometimes times of millions - over the course of their careers, nearly 16percent of players are bankrupt within 12 years . Vince Young earned a reported $64million in salary and endorsement deals - but was bankrupt before he even finished his NFL career. Widely reported rumors say he spent $5,000 a week at Cheesecake factory . Though bleak, the 15.7percent figure found by the researchers, is dramatically lower than a widely quoted statistic that 78percent of retired players are bankrupt or under 'financial stress' within two years of leaving the league. The figure comes from a 2009 survey by Sports Illustrated. Often, when athletes go broke, it's because of unimaginable extravagances, bad investments and massive child support payments.  This, despite the fact that the average player makes $3.2million over the course of a career. Defensive tackle Warren Sapp played 13 seasons in the NFL and made more than $82million. He retired in 2007 and filed for bankruptcy in 2012 - citing several failed business ventures. Bankruptcy remained at similar rates even among players who had long, profitable careers in the sport - though it was highest for those who stayed in the league for five years - and lower for those who were in it for more than a decade . Michael Vick, who made more than $130million, is still playing has he attempts to pay off his $18million bankruptcy debt from 2008 . When his estate was sold at auction, he had a lionskin rug and 240 pairs of sneakers. He also owed more than $75,000 a month in child support for his six children (with five different women,) Quarterback Vince Young's played his last NFL game in December 2011. He filed for bankruptcy in January 2014 - despite earning $34million in salary and another $30million in endorsement deals. Widely reported rumors that emerged after he first began having financial trouble in 2012 claim that he spent up to $5,000 a week at Cheesecake Factory and racked up a $6,000 tab at TGI Friday's. Young also blamed investment advisers who he claimed took advantage of him. Quarterback Michael Vick filed for bankruptcy in 2008 - in the middle of his high-profile career and legal troubles that sent him to prison. He was still paying off his $18million in debts in 2014 - despite making $130million from the NFL and millions more from endorsement deals. 'We've known that it can be very difficult for the average family to save,' Cal Tech finance professor Colin F. Camerer, one of the researchers, told the Washington Post. 'But this is one group that you might think ought to be able to avoid bankruptcy. They're in a position to buy some good advice if they need it. But even for them, with all these millions, it's a challenge.'

High-profile bankruptcies include Warren Sapp, Vince Young and Michael Vick - all of whom earned tens of millions of dollars . 15.7percent of players go bankrupt within 12 years of leaving the league, researchers from Cal-Tech, Washington and George Washington found . Average player earns $3.2million over the course of a career . Bankruptcy rates are the same of the rest of Americans .

Jordan Henderson is not ready to give up on Liverpool's Champions League hopes despite an eight-point gap to Manchester United in fourth place. The 24-year-old scored a penalty at the Emirates on Saturday, but it was not enough as Liverpool fell to a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal to leave their top-four hopes in tatters. That result followed a devastating 2-1 home defeat by Manchester United last time out and Brendan Rodgers' side have fallen from two points off Champions League qualification to eight behind. Jordan Henderson urged Liverpool not to give up on their hopes of finishing in the top four . Henderson is targeting seven wins out of seven in the league and an immediate response at Blackburn . But Henderson urged his team not to give up on the top-four race with seven games to play, and to bounce back immediately on Wednesday night when they take on Blackburn in an FA Cup quarter-final replay. He told Liverpool's official website: 'We knew it was going to be difficult [to finish in the top four], even before Saturday, but it makes it even more difficult. 'That doesn't mean we'll just give up. We've got seven games left now and we need to try to win every one. If we do that, then you never know. 'Blackburn is another big game for us straight away. We've got to recover well, learn from this one and move on and try to get a big win on Wednesday.'

Four Royal Navy sailors charged with the gang rape of a young woman at an alcohol-fuelled party at a Canadian barracks must stay in Nova Scotia until they have been tried. The four men appeared in turn in a courtroom in Dartmouth, near Halifax, where they were given identical but unusual bail conditions that could see them having to live on a Canadian naval base for the next few years. Bail was set at over £2,000 for each of them but they also agreed to surrender their passports and live at the nearby Stadacona naval base in Halifax. Accused: Joshua Finbow, 23, a submarine engineer from Stockbridge, Hampshire, arrives at court today . Two of the accused, Simon Radford, 31, of Gosport, Hampshire and Craig Stoner, 24, from Stonehouse, Gloucestershire hid their faces as they were led to a provincial court in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia . Darren Smalley, 35, of Gosport, Hampshire, and his co-accused were ordered to surrender their passports as part of their bail conditions . In a deal agreed with the British government, they will also continue to work for the Royal Navy and draw their current pay. It was not clear last night how they will keep themselves occupied thousands of miles from their shipmates and a representative from the British High Commission who was in court refused to elaborate. The four – Joshua Finbow, 23, a submarine engineer, Craig Stoner, 24, Simon Radford, 31, and Darren Smalley, 35 – had been playing for the Royal Navy ice hockey team in a tournament at the Shearwater naval base just east of Halifax. The alleged sexual assault, in which police sources say all four men had sexual intercourse with their victim, took place on April 10 after the sailors had returned to the barracks from a hockey game. Sources say their victim, who is aged in her early 20s and lives in Halifax, had accompanied a friend who had been invited to attend the party by local Canadian servicemen. Yesterday, all four men – three of them wearing black Royal Navy ice hockey team hoodies – looked relieved to be getting out of custody as they respectfully answered Judge John MacDougall’s questions. Charged: Royal Navy sailors Joshua Finbow, 23, (left) and Simon Radford, 31, (right) appeared in court . Held: Craig Stoner, 24, (left) and Darren Smalley, 35, (right) are being held by military police in Canada . They all said they understood their bail conditions and Crown prosecutor Eric Taylor said outside court that the accused had not asked to be returned to the UK. They were ordered to return to court on May 27 and given the names of seven people – the victim and six witnesses – who they were forbidden to contact. They must not leave the province of Nova Scotia and cannot apply for new passports. They must remain employed by the navy and must not resign without the court’s permission. The four, no longer trying to hide their faces, later filed out of the court building and were driven away together in a large white SUV to their new home on the close Stadacona base. They ignored a question over how they might plead in the case. Commander Michael O’Sullivan, the air and naval advisor at the British High Commission, has spoken to the four and described the alleged offences as ‘serious’ but stressed they were as yet only allegations. Naval base: The East Coast Navy base at Halifax, Nova Scotia, near to where the alleged incident occurred . Military base: An aerial view of the Shearwater military base where four British sailors are accused of assaulting a civilian . The Commander, who drove the car the men left the court in, added: ‘We’re assisting the Canadian authorities with their investigation.’ The four are charged with sexual assault causing bodily harm and group sexual assault – offences that are punishable by up to 14 years in prison. Crown prosecutor Eric Taylor said the investigation was still at an early stage and the results of forensic tests could result in additional charges. ‘It will be up to the Royal Navy to decide now how to employ them while their charges are working their way through the court,’ he said. Canadian military investigators have described the alleged offences as ‘a disturbing accusation of sexual assault’. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Blamed initially on 'engine . failure', it emerged on Tuesday that a government jet carrying .

Advisers to President Tomislav Nikolic (left, pictured in February in Belgrade) described being 'thrown around the cabin' when a plane taking him to Italy last week began tumbling through the sky . One adviser told Reuters that she would 'never step foot on . that plane again,' saying the fall had lasted 'for what seemed . like an eternity'.

The seller, called ‘theappleipodbay’ calls the watch, which was released to promote Apple’s Mac Operating system, a ‘rare collector item. This image shows the listing on the auction website . Unlike Apple’s new Watch, the vintage model has a circular screen, which has no digital capabilities and shows the company’s old rainbow hue logo. Three versions of Apple's watch (pictured) are available to pre-order online and almost one million orders are thought to have been taken in the US on the first day alone . 'Will the Apple Watch change your life? Well, possibly more than many realise until they start using it. 'After a day or two with the watch, a strange thing happened - I completely stopped checking my phone. 'While Apple may be the firm that really creates phone addiction, meaning we are constantly checking our handsets, with the Apple Watch it may have cured it. 'Apple undoubtedly has another hit on its hands with the watch. 'As more and more apps appear, and developers actually get to spend time with it, I fully expect it be used in ways we can't even imagine now. 'Much like the iPhone, apps could propel this to become a new computing platform - and even with the features it already has, the Apple watch is the most elegant way to communicate digitally.' Unlike Apple’s new smart watch, the vintage model has a circular screen, which has no digital capabilities and shows the company’s old rainbow hue logo. The International Business Times reported that the watch is almost 50 times more valuable – according to its seller – than it was a year ago, thanks to the launch of the new Apple Watch. It’s not known how many of the vintage watches Apple had made at the time, or how many still exist, but one sold on eBay in Match last year for $54 (£37). At the time of writing, two more of the watch model are listed online for $1,000 (£679) and $750 (£510), but neither have fetched that amount of money, suggesting sellers may just be trying their luck. It's thought that Apple sold almost one million Apple Watches in the US alone on the first day that the device could be pre-ordered. It goes on sale in shops in nine countries on April 24. Apple has not confirmed any sales figures, but Tim Cook, interviewed on cable television channel CNBC, said initial orders were 'great.' Slice Intelligence measured digital commerce by tracking consumer receipts to come up with its number of 957,000 American shoppers ordering Apple Watches on the first day that they could do so. Those ordering an Apple Watch Sport, the cheapest version, spent $382.83 per watch and those ordering the Apple Watch spent $707.04. 'As expected, most consumers – 62 percent – purchased the less-expensive Sport model,' said Jaimee Minney of Slice. The data also showed that most consumers opted for the larger 42 mm case. Apple predicted on Thursday that demand would exceed supply at product launch. Soon after online pre-orders opened on Friday, Apple's website listed shipping times in June for some models of the watch and four to six weeks for others. There was immediately brisk bidding on eBay for confirmed orders for watches, with hundreds of sellers looking to make a few hundred or even thousand dollars by passing on their watches, once received. ‘The watch was part of an Apple promo and has been preserved from the 1990s,' the seller wrote. It comes in its original box (pictured) and has a new battery .

Analogue watch was released in 1997 to promote Apple's Mac OS . Has a circular face and colourful hands, unlike Apple's modern Watch . Vintage timepiece is listed for $2,500 (£1,707) on eBay . Shoppers could buy five of the new Apple Watch Sports for less cash .

A mother was removed from a train and taken away in a police van because she took home a clothes horse she had found 'abandoned' in a carriage. Aimee Craven, of Hull, East Yorkshire, had claimed the Tesco product worth £20 and taken it home after spotting it on a train the previous week - because she thought it had been left by its owner. But British Transport Police officers trawled through CCTV footage to track down the 32-year-old care worker before taking her off a train as she travelled to work in Brough. Police investigation: Mother-of-one Aimee Craven, of Hull, East Yorkshire, was accused of trying to shield the £20 Tesco clothes horse from CCTV as she walked off the train in Brough (above) with it . Miss Craven - who is now waiting to see if she will be charged, but has been told it is likely she will receive a caution for theft - said: ‘I was the first person to get on the train and I spotted it. ‘I know the right thing to do would have been to hand it in but I thought, “I’ll have it”. It was a spur of the moment, stupid decision, which I am sorry for. ‘But I don’t think what I did justifies everything that then happened. The police got on the train, asked me to step off it and I had no idea what it was about. ‘Everyone was looking at me. I was absolutely traumatised, it was awful. They asked me if I’d taken it and I told them the truth. They said it was theft.’ Police insisted to MailOnline that she was not arrested - and told how the victim was on the train at the time of the theft, and had placed the clothes horse behind her seat while travelling. After being taken off the train, Miss Craven was driven home in a police van and asked how long she had lived at her address and whether she owned the property. Facing a caution for theft: Miss Craven was asked by British Transport Police to go for questioning at their offices at Hull Paragon (above), where she was given a solicitor, paid for by legal aid . She was also said to have been asked where she worked, how long she had worked there, which shifts she did and what time she finished. Miss Craven was then made to take her wet clothes off the airer she had been using for a week, while police waited to confiscate the item. The mother-of-one, who cares for the elderly, was then allegedly asked to attend a police station for questioning where she had her DNA taken from a mouth swab and was fingerprinted. She said: ‘When I got home and went in and said the police are here for the clothes horse my boyfriend thought I was joking. ‘He said, “Oh very funny, April Fools’ was ages ago”. Then when I started taking the clothes off he said, “Aimee I think you are going too far now”. He just didn’t believe me until he saw me giving it to the police.’ The officers then asked Miss Craven to go back for questioning at their offices at Hull Paragon, where she was given a solicitor, paid for by legal aid. She was accused of trying to shield the item from CCTV as she walked off the train in Brough. Miss Craven, who has no convictions, said: ‘They made me feel like I was Hull’s most wanted. It really has been the worst experience of my life. With all the questions and them prying into my life I was petrified. ‘My solicitor said even if you found something in a skip and took it you could be done for theft and so he advised me to admit theft to get a caution, otherwise it would go to court. ‘The whole thing is ridiculous, it’s cost a lot more than the price of the clothes horse. I’d have happily bought her a new one. It’s a complete waste of their time and taxpayers’ money. ‘I’ve had to admit theft to get a caution, which I don’t agree with and I’ve now got a criminal record.’ A British Transport Police spokesman told MailOnline: ‘Following the alleged theft of a clothes horse from the 7.10am Hull to King's Cross service on April 9, a 32-year-old woman from Hull was interviewed after she voluntary attended Hull police station. 'The rightful owner of the clothes horse had placed it behind her seat and discovered it was missing when the train arrived at Brough station approximately 15 minutes later. She contacted police after seeing a woman walking along the platform carrying it. 'The woman was identified after officers reviewed CCTV from the station and undertook an anniversary visit. The item was recovered and has been returned to its owner. She has thanked officers for their actions. 'British Transport Police treats all reports of theft reported to us seriously, regardless of the item stolen, and will investigate every offence thoroughly.'

Aimee Craven, 32, took home Tesco product after spotting it on train . She had been travelling from Hull to work in Brough, East Yorkshire . Police used CCTV footage to track down mother and questioned her . Miss Craven has been told it's likely she will receive caution for theft .

A photo of a relaxed and happy surfer seems all but a distant memory as that same man is now fighting for his life after being mauled by a Great White Shark. Chris Blowes, was viciously attacked by what has been described as a ' massive monster', about 350 metres offshore near Right Point on the south-western side of Fishery Bay in Port Lincoln National Park, when he was attacked at 9.45am on Saturday. The 26-year-old is in a critical condition at the Royal Adelaide hospital after the horrifying moment which was witnessed by about a dozen other surfers who were in the water at the time and believed the six-metre creature swam away with the surfer's leg and a surfboard in its jaw. Scroll down for video . Chris Blowes (pictured left) is fighting for his life after being mauled by a Great White shark in South Australia . Mr Blowes was taken to Port Lincoln hospital before being airlifted to Adelaide on Saturday . Mr Blowes' family have released a statement expressing their gratitude for all of the support and well wishes they have received during this traumatic time. 'Currently our sole focus is on our unified, unconditional support and belief towards Christopher’s big fight he has ahead, and we ask that our privacy in being able to provide that is respected at this time,' the statement said. 'From the bottom of our hearts we wish to thank his inspirational mates who rescued him and got him to safety and all of the wonderful medical professionals both here in Adelaide and in Pt Lincoln who have attended to Christopher.' A Royal Adelaide hospital spokesman confirmed to Daily Mail Australia that Mr Blowes had lost a leg and was in a critical condition in intensive care. Onlookers have described the distressing moment they saw the surfer attacked by the predator. 'The shark came in and bit his leg off and the guys helped him in and carried him up the cliff,' said Glenn Lugg, who has been surfing in the area for 25 years. 'I was just watching the shark go out to the ocean with his board still attached. Obviously the shark still had his leg and he was still swimming around with it,' Mr Lugg told Adelaide Now. Friends have begun to send their love and support to Chris and his family on social media as he battles to stay alive following the horrendous incident . Concerned friends of Chris send their best wishes to him and his family . Friends have begun to send their love and support to Chris and his family on social media as he battles to stay alive following the horrendous incident. 'Thoughts are with Chris Blowes, family and friends. Get Well mate,' Daniel Gannon posted on Twitter. While Belinda Wicks posted on her Facebook page: 'Sending all my love and thoughts to Chris Blowes and family.' Mr Lugg was told to call an ambulance while his fellow surfers pulled Mr Blowes from the water, up the beach on a surfboard and into a car to take the 26-year-old to hospital. The shocked witness said the experience was 'pretty traumatic', but that everyone involved did a great job. A friend of Mr Blowes, Ty Swan, described the 26-year-old as a 'good bloke', and that he had been bitten in the middle of the thigh. Mr Swan placed a sign at the popular tourist beach to let others know of the attack. Another witness, who was surfing at the time, told Daily Mail Australia that 'there was blood everywhere'. The injured man was initially taken to Port Lincoln Hospital with life-threatening injuries but been been airlifted to Adelaide for further treatment. Shocked witnesses said after the attack, which took place at Fishery Bay, South Australia, the six-metre shark was seen swimming away with the surfer's leg in its mouth . The 26-year-old was airlifted to Adelaide for further treatment after he was bitten by a shark . Another man said those closest to the badly injured surfer acted quickly without any thought of danger to themselves. 'I was just watching the shark go out to the ocean with his board still attached,' another witness told the Sunday Mail. 'Obviously the shark still had his leg and he was still swimming around with it.' The man said even though he was 50 metres from the shark, he could see its 'massive' pectoral fin - and he had no doubts it was a great white shark, the most feared creature in the sea. However details of the type of shark and the man's injuries have not been released or confirmed. Mr Blowes is in a critical condition after the shark attack in Fishery Bay, Port Lincoln, in South Australia . Fishery Bay is on South Australia's west coast, which is about seven hours from Adelaide . Witnesses have described the horrifying moment that they saw Mr Blowes mauled by a Great White shark . After the shark victim had been brought ashore and carried up a slope to a parking area, he was loaded into a car. He remains in a critical condition after beign airlifted via a MedSTAR retrieval team to the Royal Adelaide Hospital for further treatment. Police were working with Fisheries officials, the local council and Surf Life Saving SA to post signs on the beach warning others promptly after the shark attack. The attack happened during conditions that police and marine experts have previously said are dangerous. The overcast conditions make it difficult for surfers to see sharks that might be in the area and it is believed that sharks often mistake humans for seals or dolphins. The incident comes after surfer Jake Heron managed to fight off a four metre Great White at the same beach 10 years ago which attacked him just 10 metres from shore by punching and kicking it . He escaped with 20 stitches in his arm and 40 stitches in his thigh. Jake Heron was mauled by a four-metre Great White in 2005 . Wildcatch Fisheries SA chairman Jonas Woolford said the number of shark sightings in the area had risen recently. 'There has been a number of sightings just recently actually at a number of locations along the coast near to Fishery Bay, just around the corner, the sightings have said that the sharks have been rather aggressive actually,' Mr Woolford told the ABC. 'It's been reported that there hasn't been many for about 10 or so weeks, so whether those ones that have been laying low are now coming back to the areas which they normally frequent and they may be rather hungry ... but yes, there has been more sightings around just recently.'

Two teenage cancer survivors have been left distraught after photographs they posted on Facebook to celebrate getting the all-clear were reported for nudity. Tiffany Williams and Jessica Versey, both 19 and from Chester, Cheshire, became close friends during their treatment and went into remission around the same time. They then took to social media to post images of themselves - including one of Miss Williams’s bald head and another of Miss Versey’s chest scar - but these were reported for being ‘offensive’. Reported for nudity: Tiffany Williams and Jessica Versey, took to social media to post images of themselves – including one of Miss Williams’s bald head (left) and another of Miss Versey’s chest scar (right) Battled through: Tiffany Williams, pictured with Peter Andre, was cleared of Hodgkin lymphoma this month . Shock: The picture Tiffany Williams uploaded (left) was reported by someone on Facebook for 'nudity' Miss Williams was cleared of Hodgkin lymphoma earlier this month and regularly documented her struggle with losing hair during chemotherapy on Facebook. While undergoing treatment she decided to cut off all her hair after choosing against it on many previous occasions - making a ‘ten-minute decision’ that she would get a friend to shave it off. But, telling of what happened next, she said: ‘Feeling proud, I updated my friends on Facebook with the caption “I did it!” - and about two hours later found that someone had reported it for nudity. ‘It didn’t get deleted but I knew it must have been someone I had as a friend. I posted a nice one of me with my make-up on the day after, and that got reported too. Tough: This picture, the first selfie Miss Versey uploaded showing her bald head, was reported for nudity . Survivors: Miss Williams is seen in a photo - not reported to Facebook - revealing she had got the all-clear (left), and Miss Versey's post with the image of her scar which was reported for nudity is also pictured (right) Feeling happy: Miss Versey, who received lifesaving bone marrow treatment from her ten-year-old sister Maisy, said it was 'a massive deal' for her chemotherapy catheter be taken out after her gruelling cancer battle . Joking around: Miss Williams regularly wrote on her struggle with losing hair to chemotherapy on Facebook . ‘All I was doing was trying to help others that might need that little boost to show that no one is different, with or without hair or scars.’ If a user wishes to tell Facebook that they believe a picture is breaching nudity guidelines, he or she can click on ‘options’ under the image and ‘report photo’. The user must then click on ‘nudity’ as the reason for a complaint, before confirming they want to report the image to Facebook. It is then sent to the website’s community operations team in Ireland, who consider every report and make a decision based on Facebook’s community standards. The user whose profile carries the photo will receive a notification to say their image has been reported – but it is only removed if Facebook find it breaches guidelines. And she was further shocked last week when leukaemia sufferer Miss Versey’s photo of the scar left by the removal of her chemotherapy catheter also got reported for nudity. Miss Versey, who received lifesaving bone marrow treatment from her ten-year-old sister Maisy, said it was ‘a massive deal’ for it be taken out after her gruelling cancer battle. She added: ‘Having that taken out was a big thing for me, as it essentially kept me alive for so long. I shared my scar to show people my body was one step further away from cancer. ‘As soon as I put it up it was reported for nudity, then straight away a selfie of my bald head was also reported - the first ever picture I posed with no hair. It really upset me as I didn’t see what the big deal was. 'It’s weird that people find it acceptable to post half-naked pictures but yet people get offended by me sharing my journey with cancer.’ Miss Williams added that she was distraught to know that ‘someone that knows me and Jess gets a kick’ out of reporting the photographs. A spokesman for Facebook said today that it does not comment on individual cases, but referred MailOnline to its community guidelines published online for ‘encouraging respectful behaviour’. The ‘nudity’ section states: ‘We remove photographs of people displaying genitals or focusing in on fully exposed buttocks. We also restrict some images of female breasts if they include the nipple. ‘But we always allow photos of women actively engaged in breastfeeding or showing breasts with post-mastectomy scarring. We also allow photographs of paintings, sculptures and other art that depicts nude figures. ‘Restrictions on the display of both nudity and sexual activity also apply to digitally-created content unless the content is posted for educational, humorous or satirical purposes. 'Explicit images of sexual intercourse are prohibited. Descriptions of sexual acts that go into vivid detail may also be removed.' Miss Versey has almost 4,200 friends on Facebook, with 80 of these mutual with Miss Williams.

Part of a fiberglass boat spotted floating off the coast of Oregon is thought to be more debris from the 2011 Japanese tsunami. The 25-ft long wreckage was discovered floating west of Ona Beach in Lincoln County at about 9.30am on Thursday. Biologists with the Oregon Coast Aquarium and Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center inspected the boat remains and and found 'several live specimens of a variety of yellowtail jack fish found in the coastal waters of Japan.' Tsunami debris: A chunk of a fiberglass boat 25-30' long has been spotted floating off the Oregon shore . Rescued: These live yellowtail jack fish, native to Japan, were found inside the floating debris and are now being housed in the Oregon Coast Aquarium . The several live yellowtail jack fish found on board will be delivered to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Five million tons of wreckage - the remains of homes, boats, and other remnants of shattered lives in eastern Japan - were swallowed by the ocean when the tsunami struck four years ago. About 70 per cent of it sank, leaving about 1.5 million tons floating with scientists saying they expect more debris to hit Alaska and the West Coast of North America for years to come. An estimated 5 million tons of debris washed into the ocean in March of 2011 during the tsunami. Around 70 percent of it is believed to have immediately sunk near the Japanese coast. Some more mobile items may have reached the Pacific Northwest before 2011 even came to a close. The first documented piece of debris to arrive in California, a barnacle covered fishing boat, came ashore in April 2013. The particles are dispersed sparsely from Alaska to the Philippines. In 2013, a floating island of debris the size of Texas crossed the vast Pacific Ocean to the western shores of the Americas. The Oregan authorities plan to tow the boat segment to the Port of Newport for temporary storage. 'The debris appears to be half to two-thirds of a larger vessel, possibly damaged and set adrift during the earthquake and tsunami that struck the east coast of Japan in 2011,' said Chris Havel of the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. He said biologists inspected the object and consulted with the state Fish and Wildlife Department, deciding that the attached organisms pose little threat to the Oregon coast ecosystem. The remains of the boat will eventually be removed from the water, studied, dismantled and taken to a landfill. Wreckage: The fiberglass remains of the boat found floating off the coast of Oregon yesterday . Wreckage: A floating island of debris the size of Texas floated toward California coast in 2013 after washing into the Pacific in Japan's horrific 2011 tsunami . Ghost ship: The 164ft Japanese fishing vessel Ryou-Un Maru entered US waters March 31, 2012, on its ghostly journey after being washed away by the massive wave. The ship eventually sank in the Gulf of Alaska .

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has dismissed speculation linking him with Derby. Recent reports claimed Dyche has been lined up as a possible successor to Steve McClaren, who is the bookmakers' favourite to take over at Newcastle. Dyche says he remains committed to the task in hand at Turf Moor, though. Burnley manager Sean Dyche, aka The Ginger Mourinho, insists he is enjoying life at Turf Moor . The Clarets earned a point in a goalless draw with Tottenham but remain fixed in the relegation zone . 'I think it's quite obvious, I am enjoying the challenge here. I am not looking further afield,' the Burnley boss said. 'I am enjoying the challenge here.' Dyche has retained the support of the Burnley fans throughout the season even though the club are now second from bottom with just seven matches to go. Dyche has been tipped to replace former England manager Steve McClaren (right) at Derby . The same cannot be said for the man who will be in the away dugout at Turf Moor this weekend, though. Some Arsenal fans called for Arsene Wenger's head following a difficult start to the season. Dyche remains a big fan of the Gunners boss and cannot comprehend why there were calls for the three-time Premier League winner to be sacked. 'They're a fine side, who keep progressing despite what people say,' said Dyche, who took Burnley up last year after finishing second in the Sky Bet Championship. The Burnley boss cannot believe that some Gunners fans were calling for Arsene Wenger to be sacked . 'Arsene seems to get questioned, I don't know why, I think the job he's done is terrific. 'Of course, I'm aware fans would like to have won more trophies in recent years but, as a young manager aspiring to progress in the game, I look at people like him thinking 'you haven't done badly if you have a career like his'.' Dyche hopes Matt Taylor (Achilles), Ross Wallace (knee) and Steven Reid (calf) will be fit for the visit of the Gunners, who have won their last seven games in all competitions.

Lindsay Jo Rimer went missing from Hebden Bridge and her body was found in a canal five months later . The sister of murdered schoolgirl Lindsay Jo Rimer has spoken of her family's agony as they still hope to find her killer 20 years after her death. Lindsay Jo was 13 when she went missing after going to the shops in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire. Her body was discovered in Rochdale canal five months later, weighed down with a 20lb rock. The teenager's sister Kate described her family's struggle since Lindsay Jo's death as a 'life sentence'. She has spoken out for the first time as detectives launch a new bid to find Lindsay Jo's killer as they admit they are still searching for the 'golden nugget' to bring justice to her family. Ms Rimer said: 'I was 20 at the time and still remember when mum called me to say my little sister was missing. I felt instantly that something was wrong. 'And then five months later she was found. 'From the beginning we have been filled with grief and we cannot stop the grief and instead remember her with love until this comes to an end. 'We miss her so much but every memory of her is tainted - it is so painful and bleeds into everything we do.' Ms Rimer, who now lives on the south coast, decided to speak out in a video as the 20th anniversary of when her sister's body was found approaches this Sunday. She added: 'It is about time this came to an end - it is a life sentence for this family. Ms Rimer said when her own daughter started school a teacher, who had also moved to the south from Bradford, asked if she had any connection to the Lindsay Jo case because of her surname. Scroll down for video . 'She had to say that Lindsay would have been her auntie,' said Ms Rimer. Lindsay Jo was last seen in Hebden Bridge on November 7 1994. She left her home on Cambridge Street to go to the shops and paused briefly at the Trades Club on Holme Street where she met her mother before buying cornflakes at the Spar shop. As the 20th anniversary of her sister's body being found approaches, Kate Rimer speaks about the struggle the family have faced as Lindsay Jo's killer has not been found for two decades . CCTV from the shop on Crown Street shows her buying the cornflakes at 10.22pm. It is not known what happened to her then. Her body was found in the Rochdale Canal on April 12 1995. Detective Superintendent Simon Atkinson, from West Yorkshire Police, said previous publicity has helped generate new leads and they are hopeful that they may be able to find fresh clues as to the identity of her killer. But he said: 'We are, however, still waiting for that one 'golden nugget' of information that will finally crack the case and bring closure to Lindsay's grieving family. 'Anyone who watches the clip of Kate's interview will be moved by what she has to say. It is clear that the pain still runs as deep as it did 20 years ago and nothing will ever completely erase the memory but bringing Lindsay's killer to justice will at least bring some closure to the family. 'Someone somewhere knows what happened to Lindsay and I am appealing again, directly, to that person to come forward and help me solve the case. CCTV from 1994 show Lindsay Jo walking along the aisles of the Spar shop where she bought cornflakes . 'For 20 years Lindsay's family have had to live with the pain and the hurt of not knowing what happened to her as her killer continues to enjoy their liberty.' The officer said: 'All we know is that Lindsay's body was found five months later on Wednesday April 12 1995, with the ultimate indignity to her and to her family that her body was left to rot in a watery grave. 'Someone prepared to do this doesn't deserve any protection. It is time they were brought to justice.' Two years ago a church minister and his parishioners urged police to investigate any links with prolific paedophile Jimmy Savile, who used to stay in a caravan in Cragg Vale - close to where Lindsay Jo lived in Hebden Bridge and previously at Lower Rough Head Farm. Savile would stay at Cragg Vale, just miles from where Lindsay Jo Rimer lived, first at Lower Rough Head Farm, then Hebden Bridge .

Lindsay Jo Rimer, 13, went missing from Hebden Bridge 20 years ago . Her body was found five months later, weighed down in Rochdale canal . Kate, her sister, has spoken out as 20th anniversary of her death approaches in a bid to try and trace Lindsay Jo's murderer . Ms Rimer said the last 20 years have been like a 'life sentence' for family .

A woman from Nova Scotia who has a prosthetic leg may have started off on the wrong foot with someone who shares a parking lot with her. Despite receiving weekly angry notes on her windshield scolding her for parking in a handicap space, Natasha Hope-Simpson said she felt flattered that someone mistook her for someone who could walk normally. 'I have a video of you walking away from your car on numerous occasions, you are not HANDICAPPED! The next time you park here I will forward the Video's to police with your license plate number. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!!!!,' reads one of the fuming letters Hope-Simpson received. Scroll down for video . Hidden disability: If Natasha Hope-Simpson wasn't holding a cane in this photograph, one might not be able to tell she was missing a part of her leg because she wears a prosthetic limb that helps her walk . Flattering note: Even though this letter left for Natasha Hope-Simpson on her windshield is filled with venom and anger, she viewed it as flattering because someone could not tell she was missing her leg . Hope-Simpson became disabled after her leg was crushed in a tragic hit-and-run accident in 2013 and she lost a part of her left leg below the knee. She has a handicap permit on her car but that was not enough to convince a furious onlooker that Hope-Simpson has a true handicap. 'I'm kind of flattered about that, because I've been working pretty hard on my walk to make it look natural,' she told CBC. AOL reports that Hope-Simpson is an artist and has accepted her loss by taking in an opportunity to create wearable art. With the help of  the founders of the Alleles Design Studio, McCauley Wanner, 27, and Ryan Palibroda, 32, Hope-Simpson gets to sport funky prosthetic creations below her left knee and even helps to design them. Wearable art: Natasha Hope-Simpson turned her handicap into an opportunity to create art and helped to create the design on her prosthetic leg . CBC spoke with Tova Sherman who serves as an advocate for people with disabilities and who was heartbroken when hearing about the angry note. According to Sherman, disabilities come in many forms and just because on the surface someone doesn't seem disabled, it doesn't mean that they aren't. 'It's really none of our business whether they run out of the car, or crawl out of the car. Great example is people who live with fibromyalgia — chronic pain — it is episodic, meaning it comes and it goes,' she says. She says even someone with a disability like fibromyalgia who looks normal may be fine one day and not be able to lift their arms the next. Hope-Simpson says she doesn't know how many times she has been recorded or who left her the note but it seems as though she has managed not to put too much weight on the incident. All types of disabilities: Natasha Hope-Simpson, pictured with a friend, has a disability but because her prosthetic leg was covered, someone thought she was lying about being handicapped .

Two men who claim they were molested as young boys by Michael Jackson are expected to find out on Tuesday if they will be allowed to sue for a slice of the late King Of Pop's $1.5 billion estate. Australian choreographer Wade Robson, once the singer's staunchest defender, now claims Jackson was a predator who repeatedly sexually abused him as a child. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff has scheduled a hearing for Robson and another of Jackson's alleged child victims, James Safechuck, on Tuesday that could decide if their respective claims proceed. Australian choreographer Wade Robson, once Michael Jackson's staunchest defender, now claims the singer was a predator who repeatedly sexually abused him as a child . Robson and Safechuck missed a statutory deadline when they filed their claims more than a year after Jackson's 2009 death. If Judge Beckloff gives Robson, 32, and Safechuck, 36, a green light to proceed with their civil claim, new child molestation allegations will likely be revealed in court against Jackson. Lawyers say the King Of Pop shelled out nearly $200 million to as many as 20 victims, reports the New York Post. The Jordan Chandler lawsuit alone is alleged to have cost more than $40 million. Safechuck, who says he met Jackson in 1987 when he was eight and was molested a year later, claims in court filings that Jackson held a secret wedding ceremony with a young Safechuck as his bride. Safechuck alleges the singer gave him a marriage certificate and a wedding band as keepsakes and confirmation of their 'undying love'. He also alleges that Jackson wrote a check for more than $1 million to Safechuck's father, a sanitation worker. James Safechuck, who says he met Jackson in 1987 when he was eight and was molested a year later, claims in court filings that Jackson held a secret wedding ceremony with a young Safechuck as his bride . 'Jackson was successful in his efforts to the point that my client endured repeated acts of sexual abuse of a heinous nature and was brainwashed... into believing they were acts of love and ­instigated by James himself,' Safechuck's attorneys said in the ­filings. The singer regularly dressed Safe­chuck in clothes identical to his and would tell reporters Safechuck was his cousin, a former employee said. Safechuck's attorney alleges that Jackson molested Safechuck more than 100 times. Robson was a five-year-old dance prodigy in Brisbane, Australia, when he first met the singer. Prior to filing his civil lawsuit in 2013 he had been one of the pop star's biggest supporters, including testifying under oath at Jackson's 2005 molestation trial in California he was never abused by Jackson. Robson was a key reason for Jackson's acquittal. He now says he 'lived in silence and denial for 22 years' and alleges he was seven years old when Jackson first molested him. Former Jackson maid, Blanca Francia, left, is expected to testify that she walked in on the singer showering with and groping the then nine-year-old Robson and that she saw them semi-nude in bed together . Robson accuses Jackson of first molesting him at the Neverland Ranch, while his sister slept in a separate bed just metres away. A former Jackson maid, Blanca Francia, is expected to testify that she walked in on the singer showering with and groping the then nine-year-old Robson and that she saw Jackson and Robson semi-nude in bed together, the Post reports. The estate has previously asked the court to reject the claims on the basis that Robson waited too long to file and because Jackson is the only other person with knowledge about the accusations and has been dead for more than five years. Robson, a choreographer for Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, says he has been unable to work because of the pain caused by Jackson's abuse. Jackson died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication on June 25, 2009, after suffering from cardiac arrest.

Wade Robson and James Safechuck hope to find out on Tuesday if they can bring a civil lawsuit against the late singer's estate . Both claim that the King Of Pop molested them as young boys . Their lawyers claim Jackson paid out nearly $200 million to as many as 20 victims . A judge's ruling on Tuesday could determine if more alleged victims come forward .

Derry Mathews has won the interim WBA lightweight title after being handed a unanimous points decision over Tony Luis in Liverpool. Mathews saw Richar Abril twice pull out of a fight due to illness to be striped of the belt and just this week replacement Ismael Barroso was forced to pull out after failing to obtain a visa. Derry Mathews celebrates after victory over Tony Luis at Echo Arena on Saturday night . Mathews celebrates with his family after claiming the interim WBA lightweight title . Luis was drafted in at the last minute and while the Canadian will have won a lot of fans with his relentless style, he did not win over the judges and Mathews was handed a 114-112, 114-112, 115-112 decision. Mathews made the brighter start and kept Luis contained behind the jab while landing a decent uppercut at the end of the second round. Mathews throws a right punch during interim WBA lightweight title fight in Liverpool . Luis (right) was drafted in after Richar Abril and Ismael Barroso both pulled out . The Liverpudlian continued to still largely control the fight but Luis showed plenty of aggression himself, coming forward and making life difficult for Mathews, landing a good uppercut of his own at the end of the sixth. Luis' pressure and all-action style was beginning to tell on Mathews, who was more and more often going to the ropes and both men were deducted a point in the eighth, Mathews for a low blow and Luis for use of the head. Luis was in the ascendency in the closing rounds and looked to be pulling some points back on the cards but it was not enough as Mathews was handed a tight decision after a thrilling encounter.

French giants Paris Saint-Germain have been dealt a major blow with the news that David Luiz will miss the Champions League clash with Barcelona. The former Chelsea man pulled up clutching his hamstring following a bursting run against Andre-Pier Gignac in the first-half of Sunday’s game against rivals Marseille. Current French champions PSG went on to win the game but the news of Luiz’ injury came as a major worry. David Luiz carries the ball out of defence on one of his trademark forays, but one such run led to his injury . The Brazilian defender immediately signalled to the bench that he would need to be replaced . And those worries have since been confirmed as scans revealed the Brazilian will be out of action for at least four weeks meaning he will miss both legs of the quarter-final tie with Barcelona. Laurent Blanc’s side are still fighting for the Ligue One title and could be forced to play eight matches without the 27-year-old. PSG currently sit top of the pile in France just one point ahead of Lyon in second. Luiz limped off, and could now be a doubt for the Champions league quarter-final against Barcelona .

An extremist preacher who is suspected of radicalising Jihadi John lives in a leafy west London street and cannot be deported because of his human rights. Egyptian-born Hani al-Sibai is believed to have influenced a number of young men, who then travelled abroad to join terror groups, including JIhadi John, whose real name is Mohammed Emwazi. The radical cleric lives in the same neighbourbood where Emwazi, who was unmasked in February as the notorious murderer in Islamic State's ruthless propaganda videos, hung out with fellow jihadists. Now, security services are believed to be investigating al-Sibai's influence on the London Boys terror cell of which Enwazi was a part. Scroll down for video . Egyptian-born extremist preacher Hani al-Sibai (right) is believed to have influenced a number of young men into fighting jihadist, including 'Jihadi John' Mohammed Emwazi (left) The Sunday Telegraph's Robert Mendick and Robert Vervaik reported that it is claimed the preacher 'captivated' a number of young Muslim men who went on to fight jihad abroad. Although it is not clear if the 54-year-old made direct contact with Emwazi, he does post radical messages on websites he runs that are reportedly very influential on young wannabe jihadists. He has also been linked to Adel Abdel Bari, another Egyptian-born jihadist and senior al-Qaeda operative. Bari and al-Sibai were close associates in London until Bari was jailed for 25 years for a series of terror plots earlier this year. And Bari’s son Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary, 25, is well known as an aspiring rapper from west London, who is is thought to be part of Jihadi John’s network inside Islamic State. Al-Sibai recently sparked controversy when he aired his sexist comments live on air leading the female TV host to cut him off abruptly . Al-Sibai's bank accounts and assets are subject to freezing orders by the United Nations, the UK Treasury and US Treasury. He was accused of having 'provided material support to al-Qaeda and conspired to commit terrorist acts' in court last year - which he denied. Last year, he went to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg in a bid to get his status as an al-Qaeda affiliate overturned as well as and allow him access to bank accounts. But despite being identified as an affiliate of al-Qaeda, al-Sibai has blocked government attempts to deport him for more than 15 years - citing his human rights. When he first claimed asylum in 1994, he told officials he had been tortured in Egypt after acting as a lawyer for Islamist groups and was linked to the opposition Muslim Brotherhood. He was denied on national security grounds, and was jailed in 1998 pending deportation. Al-Sibai was a close associate of Egyptian jihadist Adel Abdel Bari, whose son Abdel-Majed Abdel Bary (pictured) is believed to be part of Jihadi John's network in Islamic State . But as officials were unable to obtain the necessary assurances to guarantee al-Sibai’s safety, human rights laws mean suspects cannot be deported to countries where they are at risk. So, despite being added to the UN's al-Qaeda sanctions list ten years ago, he has temporary leave to remain in the UK. The rent on his home in Hammersmith, which is owned by a housing association and reportedly worth up to £1million, is paid by the taxpayer, according to The Telegraph. And while in the country, he has regularly provoked outrage with his extremist comments, notably describing the July 7 bombing as a 'great victory' for the terror organisation. More recently, he made headlines after a female Lebanese TV presenter cut him off for making sexist comments live on air. Rima Karaki had been conducting an interview with al-Sibai on reports of Christians joining Islamic groups such as ISIS in the Middle East when the scholar went off on a historical tangent. When she urges him to return to the topic at hand, it sparked a heated argument - ultimately resulting in Ms Karaki ending the interview abruptly for his lack of respect towards her.

A drugs charity has called on footballer Raheem Sterling to apologise to fans after he was filmed apparently inhaling legal high 'hippy crack'. Footage emerged today which appears to show the Liverpool and England winger breathing in the gas nitrous oxide before passing out as giggling friends look on. Drugs charity Re-Solv has called on the 'role model' player to condemn the use of the drug to deter young supporters from taking risks with their health. Footballer Raheem Sterling has been filmed apparently inhaling nitrous oxide - also known as 'hippy crack' The video shows him smiling and breathing in gas from a balloon before apparently passing out . The anti-drugs organisation's spokesman, Stephen Ream, told MailOnline: 'It's very disappointing from our point of view. He is a big role model and we hate to see this kind of stuff from someone of his status. 'Players in similar situations in the past have come out and apologised and we hope he does the same. 'Nitrous Oxide is not the most dangerous drug out there but there are deaths attached to it. There are risks and we would urge anyone tempted to take it not to do so.' Sterling's boyhood coach, Paul Lawrence, told the Evening Standard: 'He has got to be a lot more careful with what he is doing out in public... Maybe he has got to sit down and think he is a role model and in the public eye.' The video emerged just days after the England regular, 20, was pictured puffing on a shisha pipe said to be as strong as 200 cigarettes. In footage obtained by The Sun, Sterling is seen sucking on an orange balloon then laughing and giggling. When the camera pans back to him, he is either unconscious or has fallen asleep. It is claimed that the video was taken at his home in Southport. Sterling is not the first player to have been accused of using the drug. Tottenham's Kyle Walker and West Bromwich Albion's Saido Berahino have also appeared inhaling gas from balloons. Both later apologised for their actions and discouraged fans from using the drug. Drugs experts have warned revellers against inhaling nitrous oxide from balloons because it starves the brain of oxygen. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has issued a warning to the forward, who scored in Liverpool's 2-0 win over Newcastle last night. It comes amid rumours the star is unsettled at Liverpool and recently turned down a £100,000-a-week deal. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (right) has said he'll talk to the star . Rodgers said: 'For me it is something that when you are a professional sportsperson at the top level of the game, I don't think it is something you should be doing. It is as simple as that. 'But I will speak to him on it, to see what he says on it. As you can imagine, I have only seen this today.' In 2013, England right-back Kyle Walker issued a grovelling apology after he was pictured inhaling the gas during an night out in Sheffield. He later said: 'I have now been made aware of the health risks associated with the practice and accept that my actions were of poor judgement.' In the same year, a photo was published showing then-Newcastle striker Nile Ranger inhaling from a balloon at the wheel of his car. The picture appeared on Instagram days before he was involved in a car accident. Last year, West Bromwich Albion striker Saido Berahino was also pictured apparently inhaling the gas in his car, before reportedly driving from Birmingham to London. In a statement, Berahino later said: ‘This was very poor judgement on my part and not the right example to be setting. Rodgers added: 'We want players here who are super-professional and focused on their football. I know he is. He very much is focused on his football and improving as a player. 'As I have said before, young players make mistakes. As long as they learn from them, that is what is important.' The matter adds to the controversy currently surrounding Sterling amid a wrangle over a new contract. He risked the wrath of supporters a fortnight ago by admitting he had rejected a £100,000-per-week deal in an interview that was not sanctioned by the club recently. Another newspaper also published pictures of him allegedly smoking a shisha pipe over the weekend. Rodgers said any repercussions following the latest matter would be dealt with internally. He added that he did not feel the matter was a distraction. He said: 'I will speak to Raheem. Until then, it is something we will deal with internally.' Former Liverpool player Jamie Carragher last night said the young star needs to learn from his mistakes and mature. He told Sky Sports: 'You make mistakes at that age, I did, we all do. It's just important that we learn from them. Raheem Sterling needs to be on the back pages, not the front pages.' The video emerged on the same night Sterling scored a stunning goal in his team's 2-0 win over Newcastle . The video emerged days after the Liverpool and England star was pictured puffing on a shisha pipe . The episode threatens to further disrupt Liverpool's preparation for their key FA cup semi-final clash with Aston Villa at Wembley stadium on Sunday. Sterling was born in Jamaica but moved to London with his mother, Nadine, when he was five. He was removed from his primary school because of behavioural problems and spent three years at a special school, where he was told prophetically by a teacher: ‘If you carry on the way you’re going, by the time you’re 17 you’ll either be in prison or playing for England.’ He joined QPR aged 11 before transferring to Liverpool’s youth academy when he was 15, meaning he had to leave his home in Wembley and his mother behind. He became a father to his daughter, Melody Rose, at the age of 17. A Liverpool FC spokesman said: ' We are aware of the story and intend to speak to the player.' Nitrous oxide has become popular with revellers in recent years, but experts warn it is dangerous . Nitrous oxide is a gas that can make people feel relaxed, euphoric and giggly, leading to its nickname 'laughing gas'. It is not illegal to be in possession of the substance, sometimes also known as 'hippy crack', although it is prohibited from being sold in England and Wales to under-18s if there is a risk they will inhale it. Abusing nitrous oxide can lead to oxygen deprivation resulting in loss of blood pressure, fainting and even heart attacks. While the gas can be legitimately used for pain relief in dental procedures, in engines to make them perform better, and in aerosol cans to prevent food going off, there have been concerns at its use as a so-called legal high. A Home Office campaign last year on the risks of legal highs showed that laughing gas was the second most popular drug among young adults in 2013/14 after cannabis, being more widely used than powdered cocaine and ecstasy. Research by the Local Government Association also described as 'deeply disturbing' the notion that many young people view nitrous oxide as safe, despite it being linked to a number of deaths. Seventeen-year-old Joseph Benett suffered a cardiac arrest after taking the popular party drug in 2012. The promising art student fell into a coma but later died. In September last year three revellers became ill at a nightclub in Bolton after suffering a suspected bad reaction to laughing gas. Police were called to Royal Bolton Hospital amid reports the patients were suffering from the effects of drug ingestion. It was thought they may have inhaled nitrous oxide, but they were said at the time to be recovering well. Nitrous oxide has led to 16 deaths in the last five years as users can asphyxiate as they inhale the drug .

Meter Maids have a long history synonymous with the sandy beaches of Queensland's most sought-after holiday destination, but time may have run out for the Surfers Paradise bikini-clad icons. The 50-year tradition has split the Gold Coast community, with business leaders calling for the end of an era, The Sunday Mail reported. Started in 1965, Meter Maids were the brainchild of Gold Coast developer Bernie Elsey who introduced the initiative to stave off the bad publicity associated with newly installed parking meters. Scroll down for video . Local business owners have labelled Surfers Paradise Meter Maids as outdated and were no longer providing a service . The controversial move involved young women dressed in gold bikinis walking the main tourist strip and placing money into expired meters, according to the Surfers Paradise Meter Maids website. But local business owners say the group is no longer performing a public service as advancements in parking meter technology mean expiry times are not always displayed. They believe Meter Maids are violating the council's anti-touting laws by spruiking branded merchandise, which Gold Coast Chamber of Commerce president Peter Yared says makes the group a business now. 'I think it’s time they moved on,' he told News Corp. Started in 1965, Meter Maids were the brainchild of Gold Coast developer Bernie Elsey who introduced the initiative to stave off the bad publicity associated with the newly installed parking meters . Business leaders say it was time for them to move as they had became irrelevant now because parking meters were electronic . Gold Coast Chamber of Commerce's Peter Yared said the group were now a business . 'They no longer perform any service for the community... They don't do anything in the area except fleece tourists.' Mr Yared said Meter Maids were no longer relevant as parking meters were now electronic and they had not kept up with the changing times. 'We're trying to clean up the reputation of Surfers Paradise and a lot of the maids are foreign backpackers rather than local girls. It’s not a good look,' he said. But Surfers Paradise Meter Maids general manager Michael Yarwood told Daily Mail Australia the chamber of commerce was taking 'a terribly ill-informed position'. 'The tourists love and embrace the Meter Maids because they are quintessentially part of their Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise experience,' Mr Yarwood said. 'The great tragedy at Surfers Paradise is reflected in its concrete virility and the fact that the locals are staying away in droves. But Surfers Paradise Meter Maids general manager Michael Yarwood told Daily Mail Australia said the chamber of commerce was taking 'a terribly ill-informed position' Mr Yarwood said the Meter Maids were 'quinessentially' part of the Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise scene . He said they brought good memories for many people who had an idyllic beachside holiday at the destination . 'Until such time we are proud of this jewel in our tourism crown, we will continue to struggle to re-establish ourselves as the premier holiday destination in Australia.' Mr Yarwood said Meter Maids were the 'under-utilised resource' to help revamp the region. 'Meter Maids invoke in most people that wonderful memory of that beachside holiday in Surfers Paradise,' he said. 'We're calling for our future actually lies in past. 'I'm Gold Coast born and bred... and I am ashamed to take clients in to Surfers Paradise because it is unsafe and unclean. 'We [The Meter Maids] are the only bit of sunshine. That is not only my opinion but the opinion of hundreds of people I interact with every month.'

Business leaders are calling for the end of Surfers Paradise Meter Maids . The Gold Coast icons have been around for 50 years and started up in 1965 . But Meter Maids general manager says they are part of Gold Coast culture . He said they were an 'under-utilised resource' to help revamp the region .

It is probably the most unpleasant experiment you will read about today: what happens when your skin starts to tear. Researchers have uncovered the reason why skin is so difficult to tear even when put under extreme pressures, by cutting samples of real skin and attempting to pull them apart. They found that rather than simply tearing, mammalian skin actually has sophisticated stress resistance properties that prevent holes and cuts from expanding. The researchers cut real skin samples and then attempted to rip them by pulling them apart (shown above) Using X-ray beams they were able to directly observe the microscopic changes that take place in skin to help it resist tearing during their stomach churning experiments. They discovered that the curly fibers of collagen that make up dermis of the skin straighten and stretch in response to a tear to share the load and prevent further damage. Scientists at Gillette have spent nine years studying how to get the perfect shave. Their work has shown why washing the skin is so vital and why you should never, ever tap your razor on the sink, and also settles the debate about whether you should go with, or against the grain . Here are their main findings: . Before the shave, hydrate the hair by washing the skin with a gentle cleanser: This softens the hair and significantly reduces the force needed to cut it. Apply plenty of shave gel: This provides a protective anti-friction layer and improves razor glide for a smoother, more comfortable shave. Shave with a multi-blade razor using light strokes: Gillette said the razor should do the work, not the person shaving. Change direction: Begin by shaving with the grain of the hair before switching and going against this grain. Make sure blades are not old or dull: The lifespan of razors can vary depending on how often they are used and how hard. As a general rule if the razor begins to drag or doesn't cut as closely as before, replace the blades. Use aftershave: This can be any product containing moisturiser to rehydrate and comfort the skin. Many aftershaves contain alcohol that acts as an astringent to sterilise the skin and provide a barrier against infection. The findings help to explain why the thin layer of cells that cover our bodies is able to provide such an effective barrier to the outside world. Scientists behind the research also hope their findings could eventually lead to stronger new materials that do not easily tear that could be used in aircraft, for example. Professor Robert Ritchie, a materials scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, who was one of the co-authors of the research, said: 'Our study is the first to model and directly observe in real time the micro-scale behavior of the collagen fibrils associated with the skin’s remarkable tear resistance. 'Collagen fibrils and fibers rotate, straighten, stretch and slide to carry load and reduce the stresses at the tip of any tear in the skin. 'The movement of the collagen acts to effectively diminish stress concentrations associated with any hole, notch or tear.' To conduct the experiment the researchers used the skin taken from dead rabbits, carefully removed the hair and placed it in equipment designed to pull the skin apart. They then cut a small notch or hole in the skin and watched how it changed shape as the skin was stretched in a way intended to cause the tear to increase. However, rather than getting bigger as the skin tore, the notches simply yawned open. The researchers, whose work is published in the journal Nature Communications, then used the x-ray beams produced by the Advanced Light Source at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, to study the structural changes that took place in the skin. They found the collagen in the dermis, the thickest of the three main layers that make up skin, changed its alignment at the edge of the tear. The collagen, which is normally in a disordered tangle, straightened and began to slide against each other to absorb the stress and provide extra strength. The researchers found the collagen in the skin dermis changes from being a disordered tangle (shown left) to line up in straight parallel rows (shown right) when skin is damaged to provide strength and tear resistance . Dr Marc Meyers, a materials scientist at the University of California San Diego who also took part in the research, said: 'Straightening and stretching allow the uptake of strain without much stress increase, and sliding allows more energy dissipation during inelastic deformation. 'This reorganization of the fibrils is responsible for blunting the stress at the tips of tears and notches.' Research on skin's mechanical properties dates back nearly 200 years, when physicians began examining stab wounds. The graphic above shows what happens to a notch in skin when it is stretched (left) compared to bone (right) Unlike bone and teeth, which are also made of collagen fibres but tear and crack when under stress, the collagen in the skin appears to change its structure when placed under stress. The researchers behind the latest study are working with the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research. Professor Ritchie added: 'Natural inspiration is a powerful motivation to develop new synthetic materials with unique properties. 'For example, the mechanistic understanding we’ve identified in skin could be applied to the improvement of artificial skin, or to the development of thin film polymers for applications such as flexible electronics.'

Researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory used real skin samples to study microscopic changes that resist tears when pulled apart . They found collagen fibres in dermis change structure when under strain . The fibres go from being a disorganised tangle to straighten and stretch . Scientists hope their findings can help develop new tear-resistant materials .

A father whose 20-year-old daughter was found murdered in Iowa last year made a desperate plea from China for U.S. authorities to do more in tracking down her killer, six months after the girl's body was discovered. And police in Iowa seem to have now answered it, by issuing a warrant for the girl's boyfriend, according to reports. Tong Shao, a chemical engineering student at Iowa State University, went missing in September 2014. After a three week search, police found her body stuffed in the trunk of her Toyota Camry in Iowa City. Shao's boyfriend, Xiangnan Li, 23, was listed as a person of interest in the case and is believed to have been the last person to see her alive, however he bought a one-way ticket to China in the days after his girlfriend went missing and has disappeared, CNN reported. Wanted for murder: An arrest warrant has reportedly been issued for , Xiangnan Li, 23 (right), the boyfriend of Tong Shaom 20 (left), a University of Iowa student found murdered in September after going missing . Li had transferred to Iowa from Rochester Institute of Technology to be closer to Tong. The two had meet studying English in Beijing in 2011. They had checked into a hotel room together on September 5, 2014. The pair had stayed at the same hotel three times before and the owner knew them. According to police records obtained by CNN, two days earlier Tong had accidentally called Li - or 'pocket dialed' him - and he stayed on the line for 30 minutes, overhearing a conversation. Tong was complaining about Li to a friend and said things that 'were not nice', the records noted. The owner of the hotel told investigators Li left the hotel either on the night of September 6 or the morning of September 7, which he said was unusual, because he usually had to tell the couple to leave after the checkout time of 11am. Li boarded a plane to China in Cedar Rapids, with a stopover in Chicago, on September 8. He landed September 10. Before Li left Iowa, a text from his phone was sent to one of Tong's roommates. 'This message was purportedly from (Tong) and read that Li had an emergency in China and was flying back there, that she was going to take a bus to Minnesota to visit friends, and she would return in about a week,' the police documents stated. On September 9, Karen Yang, a friend of Li's sent him a message asking how things were going with Tong. 'Fine for now,' he replied. Killed: Tong Shao, 20, was found dead in her Toyota Camry on September 26 at an apartment complex in southeast Iowa City. Police believe she had been in the car for three weeks . Disappeared: Police say Li boarded a plane to China in Cedar Rapids, with a stopover in Chicago, on September 8, less than two days after his girlfriend was last seen alive . Tong's roommate, Jean, filed a missing person report on September 18, when she couldn't contact her. Together her roommates reached out to Tong's friends in Minnesota via social media, however they had not heard from her. On September 26 were body was found in her car parked near a low income housing complex on the outskirts of Iowa City. Residents had reported a foul smell, and responding officers wore Hazmat suits while inspecting the car, KCCI 8 reported at the time. Tong was found in the trunk, where her body had been for about three weeks, and next to her was a 15-pound barbell. An autopsy showed Tong died of  asphyxiation and blunt force trauma. A towel from the hotel had been wrapped around her head, according to police records. Inside the car police found copies of Li's flight information. Scene: Investigators had to don Hazmat suits to inspect Tong's car. Her body is believed to have been in the trunk for three weeks before they found it . Investigation: Tong died of blunt force trauma and asphyxiation. Her body was wrapped in a towel, and next to it was a 15-pound barbell, police say . Stench: Investigators grimace at the smell emanating from Tong's car after finding it dumped in September . A search of their hotel room found 'splatters and drips of various dried liquids throughout the room and behind the headboards of the beds,' the records said, concluding that 'it is possible her death may have occurred in the hotel room'. Tong's father, Chunsheng Shao, told CNN he was informed by detectives last month that an arrest warrant had been issued for Li. Li is wanted for the first-degree murder of Tong Shao. Police would not confirm this, saying their investigations are ongoing. While it is the first break in the case since the discovery of Tong's body, Mr Shao says he wants more to be done in solving his daughter's murder. Mr Shao and his wife saved $100,000 to send their daughter to university, and believed Iowa would be a quiet, safe place for her. 'We've given all our love to our daughter'" Mr Shao said. 'I feel my life is meaningless after losing her.' Tragic: Tong, a junior chemical engineering student from China, was last seen in Ames more than three weeks before her body was discovered . While the U.S. has strong ties with China, there is no extradition treaty between the two. Legal experts say the most likely outcome is that China would prosecute people within China for crimes committed elsewhere. For Mr Shao, more needs to be done. 'We now plead with you, the U.S. authorities ...  share the evidence you have gathered with the Chinese authorities,' he said. 'This honorable act could very well save the life of other innocent and vulnerable victims, and will most assuredly allow the soul of our precious daughter to be comforted and rest in peace.'

Two of the teenagers who masterminded the Anzac Day terror plot in Melbourne had recently scouted police stations ahead of a possible attack. It comes as a friend of the teenagers who are believed to the planned attack in Melbourne revealed the moment the two young men 'became radicalised'. The man, who has not been identified, claims the death of Numan Haider was the moment 'we all became more radical', according to News Corp Australia. Scroll down for video . Sevdet Besim, from Hallam in Melbourne's south-east, was charged with 'conspiracy to commit acts done in preparation for, or planning, terrorist acts' at the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Saturday afternoon . Multiple photos of Mr Besim on his social media pages show him posing with one raised index finger, a symbol that other ISIS supporters have also frequently used . He is one of two 18-year-old men police arrested for allegedly planning an 'ISIS inspired' attack on an Anzac Day ceremony. The duo were 'associates' of Abdul Numan Haider (pictured) Haider was killed by police last year after he attacked officers with a knife, and is believed to have planned an ISIS-like attack. The two alleged ringleaders of the Anzac Day plot reportedly attended Haider's funeral. The information comes after police held one of the alleged ringleaders in jail under tough new terror laws, despite not being charged. The man, who cannot be identified due to suppression orders, could be held 14 days after police applied for a Preventive Detention Order. Another man, Sevdet Ramadan Besim, 18,  was charged with planning to carry out an attack. Both men often visited frequented the controversial Al-Furqan Islamic study centre in South Springvale. It was also revealed the young men arrested on Saturday had personal links with a senior Australian jihadist and Islamic State recruiter in Syria. Police are exploring the role played in the plot by Neil Prakash, 23, who is considered to be the top Australian recruiter for ISIS, according to Fairfax Media. Prakash, who is know by the jihadist name Abu Khalid al-Kambodi, may have been in direct communication with the teenagers until recently. Prakash is thought of in the same way as Mohammad Ali Baryalei, a former Sydney bouncer who was believed killed fighting around the Northern Syrian city of Kobane in late 2014. Mr Haider, whose body is pictured (left) being taken to the coroner for examination, died when he was shot by officers after stabbing two policemen outside a Melbourne police station on September 23. It is believed the two men who masterminded the Anzac Day plot attended his funeral (pictured: right) The father of one of the teens arrested in the raids, said his son had benefited from his time at the controversial Al Furqan Islamic study centre in South Springvale . The teen was interviewed by police all morning before travelling to the Magistrates Court where he was charged . Police are exploring the role played in the plot by Neil Prakash (left), 23, who is considered to be the top Australian recruiter for ISIS . Earlier, the social media page of Besim was discovered, which provided insight into the mind of the alleged terrorist. The 18-year-old's Instagram account features posts with anti-Western sentiments and Islamic State propaganda. Just two days before the teenager was arrested during pre-dawn raids at his Melbourne home, he was perusing the Facebook page of well-known radical Perth-based Islamic preacher Mohammed Junaid Thorne. Besim, from Hallam in Melbourne's south-east, appeared in Melbourne Magistrates Court charged with 'conspiracy to commit acts done in preparation for, or planning, terrorist acts'. Days before he arrested, Besim was browsing the Facebook page of Mohammed Junaid Thorne . Hizb Ut-Ta-Khir is an Islamic fundamentalist group who have a branch in Australia . He was arrested, along with four other teenagers, suspected of planning a terror attack using swords and knives. A number of 'edged weapons' were seized at some of the properties searched. The father of one of the men arrested, said he believed the controversial Al Furqan Islamic study centre had changed his son's life for the better. Mr Besim did not apply for bail and was remanded in custody for a filing hearing on April 24 . 'Before he started to pray, (he) was in the house aggressive, he broke (things), like a child. But after when he started to pray he really changed behaviour, 100 per cent,' the father told the ABC. 'Now he was very good, always. Never, never yells, never, never do bad in house. 'He's always nice talking when I see him, but I (do) not see him very much.' Controversial posts uncovered on Besim's Instagram page contained strong anti-government sentiments, including one calling U.S. President Barack Obama 'Israel's b**ch'. Another picture expresses his thoughts on the democratic system of politics. He calls U.S. president Barack Obama 'Israel's b**ch' in one of Instagram post on his page . Another picture on Besim's Instagram account expresses his thoughts on the democratic system of politics . One of his posts said 'War on Terror, where the invader is considered a hero and the resistor called a terrorist' 'Democracy is a system whereby man violates the right of Allah,' it said. The hashtag on the post reads: 'Don't Vote 4 Man Made Law.' His Instagram account also revealed Besim had his Facebook account disabled. The father of the boy also said his family had been traumatised by the dramatic raids. The father said he had a gun held to his head for 30 minutes, and police told him: 'One more word I kill you. Doesn't matter for your kids.' Three other men, also aged 18 and 19, were arrested separately in Narre Warren. Pictured is one of the homes in the suburb where police made one of several arrest during terror raids . Residents living next door to the homes that were raided in the early hours of the morning have described waking to glass smashing, screams and 'fire-cracker like' noises before seeing lights . 'My wife she starts screaming. Police call ambulance to come and help her,' the father told the ABC. 'I notice everything in the house is broken, the door, everything.' A total of five teenagers were arrested as part of the Melbourne Joint Counter Terrorism Team operation named Operation Rising, which saw 200 officers' raid seven properties on Saturday morning. Australian Federal Police Acting Commissioner Michael Phelan said the investigation ramped up in recent days after it had become 'very obvious' the men had 'specific plans' in place. Security at Anzac Day events across the country has been increased after the incident, with a strong police presence expected.

A car repair shop worker has been suspended after telling a customer's husband he needed to 'get her in check before there's a big f***ing problem' in a profane and threatening voicemail. Kyle Kandrick was suspended from the Maaco auto body shop in Hagerstown, Maryland after Ella May Rudd posted the voicemail left for her husband on Facebook. In the voicemail, Kandrick said: 'Hey, Billy, Kyle at Maaco here. I was just personally attacked by your wife on Facebook, and I don't appreciate it at all, pal.' Scroll down for video . Ella May Rudd points to the leak on her Hummer H2 that she was trying to have repaired at a Maaco auto body shop in Haggerstown, Maryland, before co-owner Kyle Kandrick left a threatening voicemail for her husband . 'So I want you to get her in check before there is a big f***ing problem here on my end. Understand me?' 'I did everything I could for her. She was in here Saturday and I explained everything to her the right way, and I don't like being attacked on Facebook.' 'I'm telling your right now: deal with it before I deal with it.' On her post, Rudd wrote that she had been dealing with the auto body shop for 'the last two months' while trying to repair a leak on her Hummer H2. She said that the voicemail was in response to a scathing review she had written on the company's Facebook page after her tenth unsuccessful trip to Maaco. 'Crooks, rude people, and liars. Please take your business anywhere else but here. I regret spending the last month and a half wasting my time with this company,' she wrote in the review. 'My car is still not fixed. They have charged me for car parts not needed, they have had me show up to multiple appointments and not have mechanics/car ready, they have lied about multiple car repair events.' 'They are extremely unprofessional, and so much more. I hope this review at least stops a few people from being robbed and aggravated. So disappointed.' Rudd said that she paid Kandrick a visit on Saturday when she found out her car had still not been repaired. Kandrick called Rudd's husband after she left a scathing review on the shop's Facebook page. In the voicemail he said: 'I want you to get her in check before there is a big f***ing problem here on my end. Understand me?' Kandrick was suspended after Rudd posted the voicemail on Facebook and the post quickly went viral . She said that Kandrick was 'really rude' and blamed his workers. Rudd said she demanded she be returned the money she had been charged. 'I don't care whose fault it is,' she said she told him. 'It is your business that messed up and I need your business to fix it and to return my money that they just took.' She said Kandrick then claimed the shop didn't repair leaks, only to ask her to bring the car in again when a mechanic walked in and said the leak would be an 'easy fix'. Rudd said Kandrick also 'stormed out' of the room at one point and was talking to her 'like I was the biggest idiot ever'. The stay-at-home mother of two calls herself a 'strong woman', who had no problem confronting Kandrick herself after hearing the voicemail. 'I said to him, "My husband will not handle me at all."' Rudd said Maaco President Jose Costa called her Thursday, the day after she posted the recording, and said he couldn't fire the employee because he's a co-owner of the franchise. Maaco officials didn't respond to questions from The Associated Press about that call. The company apologized to Rudd in a statement issued on Friday and said the 'employee at issue' would be suspended pending further review. Maaco added that he would be getting diversity and anger management training and that the shop would be temporarily closed 'in order to pursue customer care training for the team'. Rudd said the company has also offered to repair her car, but she's not interested. 'Maaco will not touch my car now,' she said. The stay-at-home mother of two calls herself a 'strong woman' and said she had no problem confronting Kandrick herself after hearing the voicemail. 'I said to him, "My husband will not handle me at all"'

Ella May Rudd left a scathing review on Facebook for the Maaco auto body shop in Hagerstown, Maryland after 10 visits to fix a leak . Co-owner Kyle Kandrick told her husband Rudd had 'personally attacked him' on Facebook and that he needed to 'deal with it before I deal with it' The mother-of-two said she confronted Kandrick after the voicemail and said 'My husband will not handle me at all' Rudd said the franchise's president told her he couldn't fire Kandrick because he's a co-owner of the franchise .

An police officer who rammed his police car into a suspect told investigators it was either 'shoot him or run him over.' Shocking dash cam footage emerged last week which showed Marana police officer Michael Rapiejko mounting the curb and mowing down armed robbery suspect Mario Valencia. The video sparked fierce debate on the use of deadly force with some accusing him of misconduct and others labeling the cop as a hero. Scroll down for video . Deliberate act: Valencia (pictured, left, in his mug shot) remained in hospital for two days before being booked into jail. Police have since spoken out in defense of Rapiejko's actions in the town of Marana, Arizona . But officer Rapiejko said that Valencia had left him with no other choice than to use potentially lethal force, according to a recording obtained by NBC station KVOA. 'He's refused commands, he's holding what I believe to be a locked and loaded rifle,' said Rapiejko in the inquiry recording, who had also warned there were two officers on the street and business nearby. 'This is what I deem at this point to be a lethal force encounter.' 'I have two thoughts that go in my mind, I need to shoot him to stop the threat or I need to run him over to stop the threat.' Rapiejko said he had slammed his patrol car into Valencia after he allegedly fired a shot from a rifle into the air and was walking towards other officers in Marana, northwest of Tucson, Arizona on February 19. Target: The police officer in the other vehicle warns Rapiejko that the suspect is loaded and tells him to 'stand off'. But in apparent defiance of his advice, Rapiejo drives straight toward unsuspecting Valencia (pictured) Horrific: Seconds later, Rapiejo's vehicle mounts the curb (pictured) and smashes into the suspect's body . Hit: In this screen grab, from the dashcam video, Valenica appears to turn toward the car as it strikes him . In the inquiry recording he added that he was 50 yards away from Valencia, and felt that was too great a distance to safely take a shot. In the two videos, recorded on dash cams in Rapiejko's and another police officer's car, Valencia is captured walking along the street carrying the weapon. He then points the loaded weapon into the air and a shot rings out. A police officer in one of the patrol cars says: 'One round just went out. He's definitely loaded.' He then tells his colleague, Officer Michael Rapiejko, in the other vehicle: 'Stand off, the gun is loaded.' But apparently ignoring his advice, Rapiejko overtakes the officer's car, before speeding straight toward Valencia. Seconds later, his vehicle mounts the curb and smashes into the suspect's body. Valencia is sent flying into the air, while the car crashes through a concrete wall before coming to a halt amid debris. The other officer can be heard shouting in shock: 'Oh! Jesus Christ, man down.' At the end of the footage, obtained by KOLD, Rapiejko is captured emerging from his vehicle and approaching Valencia, while other cops exit their own cars with their guns raised. Valencia was rushed to University of Arizona Medical Center in serious condition following the crash outside a self storage facility. He was eventually booked into jail two days later. Smash: Valencia is sent flying into the air, while the car crashes through a concrete wall (pictured) before coming to a halt amid debris. The other cop can be heard shouting in shock: 'Oh! Jesus Christ, man down' High-speed: Bits of concrete can be seen sailing through the sky as Rapiejko's patrol car continues traveling . He faces charges that include armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, arson, burglary and theft. Valencia's attorney, Michelle Cohen Metzger, has called the incident an excessive use of police force, and said it was clear that Valencia was suicidal. Local police chief Terry Rozema has since spoken out to defend his officer and argue that deadly force was necessary. Speaking to CNN, Rozema was asked if Officer Michael Rapiejko was fortunate not to kill suspect Mario Valencia, 36. 'That very well may be... that it's luck that he is still alive. The fact of the matter remains, though, deadly force was authorized,' Rozema said. 'So if he ends up dying in that situation, (then) he ends up dying, and that's unfortunate, (but) that's not the desire of everybody,' the chief added. Pozema argued that Rapiejko may actually have saved Valencia's life because we don't know what he would have done next. Cracked: Valencia, was rushed to University of Arizona Medical Center in a serious condition following the crash outside a self storage facility on February 19. Above, Rapiejko's car window appears to be cracked . Another view: Despite the shocking footage of the crash, Marana Police Chief Terry Rozema has defended Officer Rapiejko's actions. Above, this dashcam video was taken from inside the other officer's car . 'We don't know that if (Rapiejko) lets him go for another 10 seconds, (Valencia) doesn't take somebody out in the parking lot,' Rozema said. 'And then we're answering some completely different questions: 'Why didn't you act sooner? ... This guy had a gun ... Why didn't you stop this guy before he shot my wife, before he shot my husband, before he shot my child?' Rapiejko was cleared by the prosecutor's office and returned to work after a three-day leave, police said. An administrative review is underway. In February, Sergeant Chris Warren also appeared to support the deliberate crash, telling KOLD that Valencia 'was a dangerous felon who'd been on a crime spree throughout the morning'. This crime spree allegedly involved theft at a convenience store at Columbus Avenue and 29th Street, vandalism and burglary at the Tucson Baptist Temple, a home invasion and theft of a car. It culminated in the alleged theft of a rifle from Walmart at 8280 North Cortaro Road. From there, the suspect fled to 5650 West Coca Cola Place, where he was struck and injured by Rapiejko's vehicle. Swerving: The second video shows Rapiejko's car swerving across the road and heading toward Valencia . Life-saving? The vehicle smashes into the suspect (the black shape in the air, between the tree and the car) Apprehended: At the end of the footage, obtained by CBS affiliate KOLD-TV, Rapiejko can be seen emerging from his vehicle and approaching Valencia (under the tree), while other cops emerge with their guns raised . 'He'd just stolen a weapon, loaded it, was not obeying commands from officers and walking toward occupied businesses. It's a busy time of morning, a lot of employees at work,' said Sgt Warren. 'We had to take immediate action and make sure he didn't get inside those businesses.' Rapiejko was put on standard administrative leave after the crash, because it was considered use of force. However, the Pima County Attorney's Office cleared the officer of any wrongdoing and he is back on the force, Sgt Warren said. Valencia, meanwhile, is facing several felony charges for his 'spree'. Valencia had already been approached by police near a post office following the alleged Walmart theft, it is reported. There, he had apparently threatened suicide, before firing the gun and fleeing. This latest incident following cell phone footage earlier this month capturing South Carolina police officer Michael Slager fatally shotting Water Scott, 50, five times in the back as he was running away.

It is seen as extremely rude in most human societies, but it appears apes also use whispers to pass on information they do not want others to hear. Gibbons - better known for their deafening songs that reverberate around the forests they inhabit - have been found to regularly use the secretive form of communication. The apes, which are found in the forest of south east Asia, produce a variety of soft call types, known as 'hoos', that are almost inaudible to the human ear. Scroll down for video . Lars gibbons like this one in Khao Yai National Park Thailand use soft 'hoo' calls that are similar to whispers . Yet scientists have found the animals use these whispers to communicate specific information to each other about predators, foraging and when meeting neighbours. The researchers found that predator 'hoos' in particular were produced at frequencies well below the threshold of hearing for eagles and other birds of prey. A dictionary that decodes the calls produced by gibbons is being developed by scientists. Researchers at Wisconsin University in Madison have been using computer algorithms to analyse the whoops and songs produced by the apes. Gibbons singing usually consists of a crescendo of notes, particularly in response to predators. This usually starts with a series of soft 'hoo' noises that are only audible at close range but this rapidly grows to become much louder. In most studied cases these songs are produced in response to predators but they also duet together in social song. This suggests the quiet calls were designed to alert other gibbons nearby without alerting the raptors. Similarly biologists studying lar gibbons found they used a different whisper call to when a tiger or leopard was in the area. Dr Esther Clarke, who led the research at the University of Durham, said the findings could also help to provide valuable clues about human speech evolved and perhaps even why humans began using whispers. She told Mail Online: '(Hoo calls) have been overlooked in favour of the more conspicuous songs. 'We just didn't know they were using context-specific calls at close range. 'It opens up the possibility that their vocal repertoire is much larger than we previously imagined.' She added: 'These animals are extraordinarily vocal creatures and give us the rare opportunity to study the evolution of complex vocal communication in a non-human primate. 'In the future, gibbon vocalisations may reveal much about the processes that shape vocal communication, and because they are an ape species, they may be one of our best hopes at tracing the evolution of human communication.' Gibbons have one of the loudest calls in the natural world, creating whoops that can travel for miles through the dense forests where they live. Most research until now has concentrated on their loud songs which the animals use to communicate with each other over long distances. However, Dr Clarke and her team, whose work is published in the journal BMC Evolutionary Biology, decided to focus on the softer hoo call types. While these calls have been known about since the 1940s, they have not been studied in detail due to their low volume and because they are almost indistinguishable to the human ear. Lar gibbons used hoo calls to warn each other of predators but also during more intimate moments like this . The researchers used models like of this snake to test whether certain hoo calls were specific to predators . Different hoo calls appeared to be related to the activity the gibbons were taking part in like foraging (above) Using modern recording technology and computer analysis, Dr Clarke and her colleagues have been able to detect subtle differences in frequency, pitch, length and volume of these calls. They recorded 450 hoo sounds and found there were six different types of calls being produced by the gibbons. The researchers have been able to identify which of these calls are associated with particular situations. The researchers spent almost four months following lar gibbons around the forests of Mo Singto in Khao Yai National Park, north east Thailand recording their calls and behaviour. They found that the gibbons produced individual hoo calls in different situations, including when they were foraging, when they encountered neighbours, during duet songs between paired mates and when they detected predators. This model of a bird of prey produced short, low frequency and extremely quiet calls from the gibbons . This model of a leopard also produced low frequency and quiet calls from the gibbons when they spotted it . The researchers used a series of models of predators to test whether the calls were associated with specific predators. They found raptor hoos were less intense, shorter, lower pitch and had a small frequency span. They were the least audible of the calls. Raptors hear best in the 1-4kHz range while the gibbon hoos were consistently below the 1kHz threshold. Tiger and leopard hoos were similar, suggesting that callers perceived these two predators as belonging to the same ‘big cat’ class. While both gibbon sexes displayed similar hoo calls, female calls were lower in frequency than male ones. The researchers say this is surprising, as among mammals, males tend to have lower frequency voices than females. Females also typically did not produce hoo vocalisations when encountering neighbours and often remained passive. This video shows a white handed gibbon singing the more distinctive and audible calls while in a zoo enclosure . Males, however, often interacted with neighbouring individuals. The gibbons also seemed to use whispering during more intimate moments - much like humans do too. Writing in the journal BMC Evolutionary Biology, Dr Clarke and her colleagues said: 'Duet hoos tended to be higher in frequency than the other contexts, significantly so when compared with feeding,leopard, tiger and raptor hoos and raptor and tiger hoos.' The researchers say the study is of direct relevance for the on-going debate about the evolution of human speech. Researchers say the findings could shed light on the evolution of human speech and why we began whispering . The ability to produce calls that are context-specific is necessary for communication to direct the attention of others. This behaviour appears to be widespread and was likely present in the ancestor of modern primates and humans. The acoustic variation seen in gibbon hoos in particular may be similar to human speech, in which subtle acoustic parameters, like pitch, can be important carriers of meaning. Chimpanzees bash out distinctive drum solos on the roots of trees as a form of 'signature' and to tell others in their group where they are. Biologists studying the primates have found over the years that male chimps grip the buttresses of tree roots with their hands and beat them with their feet. The noises produced - which is normally accompanied with loud hooting -  are known as pant calls, and can be heard more than half a mile (1km) away, even in the dense jungle. But now one group of scientists studying the animal in the Sonso Community in the Budongo Forest in Uganda, have found that this drumming contains distinctive rhythmic patterns that can be used to identify a specific individual. Each male used a different number of beats and used a style of doublets and pauses that was distinct to them. The researchers also discovered that the chimps tended to use drumming far more often when their group was travelling. They believe this may help keeps tabs on an individual's whereabouts.

Biologists at Durham University spent four months recording gibbon calls . They recorded gibbons making 450 'hoo' calls from 25 animals that were impossible to distinguish with the human ear and were often inaudible . Each call was found to relate to different contexts like foraging, meeting neighbours, singing to mates or warning others about a predator nearby . Hoos about birds of prey were the quietest so not to alert the predators .

A Texas father is accused of shooting dead his 22-year-old son for coming to the defense of his mother during a heated domestic argument. Harris County Sheriff's officials say Ulysses Beaudoin, 39, gunned down Ulysses Nelson Tuesday night after showing up at the family's home in Katy with his mistress in tow. Deputies say the deadly confrontation took place at around 9amm at 6622 Gordon Drive in the Bear Creek Meadows subdivision. Scroll down for video .

An arrest warrant has been issued for disgraced AFL premiership player Ben Cousins after he failed to appear in a Perth court on traffic offences. Cousins, 36, has been on bail and was due to face Fremantle Magistrates Court on Wednesday morning but he did not appear. His lawyer claimed the former West Coast Eagles captain had conflicting medical appointments, and said he had a photograph of the document, but the court requires a hard copy. The magistrate had ordered Cousins to produce written evidence of the conflicting appointments before 4pm WST or an arrest warrant would be issued. Scroll down for video . Ben Cousins, 36, who has a history of substance abuse, has made headlines several times in the past fortnight after a string of alleged incidents . The 2005 Brownlow medallist was arrested on March 11 after allegedly leading police on a low speed chase from Bicton to Mosman Park . He was charged with reckless driving, failing to stop and refusing a breath test . Just before 4pm, a spokeswoman at the court confirmed an arrest warrant had been issued. The 2005 Brownlow medallist was arrested on March 11 after allegedly leading police on a low speed chase from Bicton to Mosman Park. He was charged with reckless driving, failing to stop and refusing a breath test. Cousins has twice been hospitalised for mental health assessments following that incvident - the first time after he breached security at an SAS base in Swanbourne. The second time followed seemingly bizarre behaviour in Canning Vale, including climbing on the roof of a house. The former West Coast Eagles captain has not been charged over those incidents. Cousins retired from the AFL in 2010. He was arrested on March 11 after police saw him driving erratically in Bicton and was eventually caught several suburbs away in Mosman Park .

A Georgia police chief who said he accidentally shot his ex-wife while they slept was indicted on Wednesday on a misdemeanor reckless-conduct charge, a prosecutor said. Peachtree City Police Chief William McCollom called 911 early New Year's Day to report inadvertently shooting his ex-wife, Margaret, as they slept in their suburban Atlanta home. The shooting left Margaret McCollom paralyzed below the waist. McCollom resigned from the chief's job in March. Peachtree City Chief of Police William McCollom, pictured left, dialed 911 to report accidentally shooting his wife Margaret, right, as she slept in their suburban Atlanta home early New Year's Day . Griffin Judicial Circuit District Attorney Scott Ballard said investigators found no evidence McCollom intended to harm Margaret McCollom. However, Ballard said he concluded the shooting could have been prevented. The prosecutor said McCollom told investigators he drank alcohol and took medication to help him sleep. Ballard said the investigation showed that McCollom, a former firearms instructor, woke during the night when he heard barking dogs, prompting him to grab his service handgun from a dresser and search the house. He returned to bed with the gun and told investigators he woke next to the sound of a gunshot, Ballard said. The chief said he suspected he might have been trying in his sleep to move the gun to a nightstand. 'The gun was in the bed, I went to move it, and I put it to a side and it went off,' McCollom told a 911 dispatcher, according to a recording of the call. McCollom worked in policing for nearly 30 years in Wyoming, Florida and Georgia. He resigned from the police chief position in Georgia in March . Investigators found no evidence that McCollom was trying to hurt Margaret. He was indicted on Wednesday on a misdemeanor reckless-conduct charge . Margaret McCollom told police at the hospital that she was asleep when the shooting happened but believed it was an accident, according to state investigators. The couple divorced in 1999 but later reunited. 'When I look at the facts, it appears to me that this is reckless conduct,' Ballard said. If convicted, McCollom could face a year in jail. McCollom's defense attorney, Thomas Cook Jr., did not respond to a message seeking comment. McCollom worked in policing for nearly 30 years in Wyoming, Florida and Georgia. Personnel records showed no evidence of criminality, serious misconduct or recklessness in his past. The New Year's Day shooting happened after McCollom had woken up to a noise and walked around with his gun before bringing it back to bed with him .

William McCollom, the chief of police in Peachtree City, Georgia, called 911 on January 1 to say he had accidentally shot his wife, Margaret . Margaret was left paralyzed below the waist and believes it was an accident . McCollom resigned from chief position in March after working in policing for nearly three decades . He was indicted on a reckless-conduct charge on Wednesday .

He was, as one ECB board member put it, just too accident-prone for a role that has seen him flounder in the face of the bitter fallout from an Ashes whitewash. Paul Downton was brave enough to make huge decisions in his first 14 months as England’s managing director but the jury is still out on all of them at a time as the clamour for change has grown louder. It was Downton who made the big call to sack Kevin Pietersen and reappoint Peter Moores as England coach. Paul Downton has left his role as managing director of England and Wales Cricket Board . The move came a day ahead of an ECB board meeting that was meant to discuss the future of Downton . OCTOBER 2013 . Downton, a former England wicketkeeper, is appointed managing sirector of England and Wales Cricket Board, with his position taking effect from February 1, 2014. FEBRUARY 2014 . After the Ashes whitewash, Kevin Pietersen and head coach Andy Flower are sacked. After days of silence, the official line on Pietersen’s dismissal is that the ECB wanted to ‘create a culture’ in which captain Alastair Cook had ‘the full support of all players’. MARCH 2014 . England suffer a humiliating 45-run defeat to Holland in the World T20. Ravi Bopara top-scored for England with just 18. APRIL 2014 . Downton appoints Peter Moores, who had spent the previous four seasons as head coach at Lancashire, for a second spell as England head coach. MAY 2014 . Downton and the ECB issue an apology to Pietersen for claiming he appeared ‘disinterested’ and ‘distracted’ during the fifth Ashes Test in Sydney. JUNE 2014 . England lose a Test series at home to Sri Lanka. The south Asian side had previously won on English soil in 1998 — in a one-off Test match. JULY-AUG 2014 . England lose the second Test against India, but come back to win the home series 3-1. In the fifth Test, England inflict upon India their third heaviest defeat in history. DECEMBER 2014 . Cook is sacked as one-day captain and replaced by Eoin Morgan, marking the end of a sorry year for England in which they won just 18 of their 48 matches across all formats. FEBRUARY-MARCH 2015 . England endure a dreadful World Cup campaign, failing to advance from the group stage and finishing behind Bangladesh, who sealed their exit with a 15-run victory. APRIL 2015 . Downton departs as ECB managing director. The ECB are to create a new role of ‘director of England Cricket’ ahead of the Ashes series. He also had to back the decision to replace Alastair Cook as one-day captain on the brink of the World Cup even though it was the selectors who drove it. But, most of all, it is England’s humiliating World Cup that led the 14 members of the ECB management board to unanimously back the sacking of Downton when new chief executive Tom Harrison rang them on Wednesday morning. So acute was the embarrassment at England going out in the first round of the World Cup that any hopes Downton had for an extended stay in office proved impossible. To the new regime he had to go. ‘Hugh Morris (his predecessor) stayed in the background but Paul became far too high-profile,’ one board member told Sportsmail on Wednesday night. ‘He was always on the outfield before games. The bottom line is that he was just too accident prone.’ Downton is the most high-profile casualty so far of that new broom sweeping through English cricket, led by Harrison and chairman-elect Colin Graves but he will not be the last, unless England are successful in their busiest of all years. James Whitaker, the national selector, is the most vulnerable, not least because a change of job description for Downton’s successor to director of England cricket looks likely to make the new man an all-round supremo. Moores and captain Alastair Cook now need to beat the West Indies in the three-Test series starting in Antigua on Monday if they are to feel secure. They must then carry on winning when they face New Zealand, Australia, Pakistan and South Africa over the next 10 months in Test cricket alone. Whether this makes a difference to Pietersen’s future remains to be seen. Clearly the removal of the man who sacked him and an ECB chairman Giles Clarke who was firmly against Pietersen must increase the odds on one of the most unlikely comebacks in sport history happening this summer. Much may depend on who replaces Downton because there is still no real appetite within the ECB, and certainly not among senior members of the England team, for Pietersen to return. His best chance may be if Michael Vaughan is appointed by a man he is known to be close to in Graves. The former England captain said on Wednesday that he would like to talk to the ECB about the role. Vaughan was the England captain who brought the best from Pietersen, admittedly when he was young and far less likely to cause trouble, and has made no secret of his encouragement for his return. Yet Vaughan, a constant critic of Downton and Moores, has a myriad of interests, both cricketing and otherwise, that he presumably must shelve if he is to return to the ECB now. A more likely scenario is for another former England captain in Andrew Strauss to take up a role that would appear made for him. There were many at the ECB who wanted Strauss to succeed Morris, not least the Welshman himself, but he ruled it out at the time, saying it was too soon after the end of his playing career. Since then he has dabbled in commentary with Sky but may now think the time is right for what seems a natural progression to administration. Downton's job description has been abolished as a result following England's dismal World Cup showing . Downton leaves his role as ECB managing director following England's shameful performance at World Cup . Former England captain Michael Vaughan said on Wednesday he would like to talk to the ECB about the role . Kevin Pietersen (left) could return for England while Andrew Strauss (right) is another that could take the role . Pietersen was uncharacteristically coy when asked on Twitter for his thoughts on Downton’s departure . Alec Stewart is another candidate who, presumably, would have a more open mind about recalling Pietersen as he has just re-signed him for Surrey. He is the third man on the most likely three-man short-list. The best brains in English cricket are undoubtedly Hussain and Atherton so Harrison and Graves should be doing all they possibly can to encourage one of them to return to the national cause. Hussain has already refused and it is extremely unlikely Atherton would be tempted either. Downton has become a derided character but he does not deserve to be the figure of ridicule he has become as frustration has grown at the national team. He was a respected wicketkeeper-batsman with England who had to play much of his Test cricket against the West Indies at their peak and was widely admired for his bravery and gutsy character. His return to cricket after a career in the City came at a time when Morris assured him that everything was in place for a bright future. England’s catastrophic collapse in Australia changed everything. The decision to ditch Pietersen was, as far as I am concerned, absolutely right while Moores may yet prove to be the coach Downton and others believe him to be. But a fall-guy was needed for the World Cup and Downton was the obvious candidate. It remains to be seen how many follow.

Moores (from left to right), Downton and England captain Alastair Cook during the press conference . Downton speaks with Sir Ian Botham at Lord's Cricket Ground on May 31, 2014 . Meanwhile, here in Basseterre, Jonny Bairstow picked a bad day to remind England that he is a player of real potential despite being jettisoned after the winter’s Ashes disaster. England’s decision to turn their second warm-up game into a practice session saw Bairstow, Jonathan Trott, Gary Ballance and Joe Root bat for an extremely weak St Kitts Invitational XI against their own team. Trott fell third ball to Jimmy Anderson, fending a ball outside off stump to third slip, while Ballance still looked out of touch in being dismissed for 17. Yet Bairstow, the back-up keeper on this tour, made the most of his chance to score 98 before falling to the impressive Ben Stokes. There was an early worry when Stuart Broad slipped in his delivery stride and fell clutching his ankle. He went off for treatment but later returned to bowl and looked no worse for the accident. Root was also struck flush on the helmet fielding at short leg but came out later to bat for St Kitts. England will bat for the whole of Thursday before leaving for Monday’s first Test in Antigua. Alastair Cook . Downton was a supporter of Cook as Test captain but was persuaded to sack him as one-day captain three weeks before the disastrous World Cup campaign. The new ‘Director of England cricket’ might think Cook needs to go back to scoring runs at the top of the order after failing to convince as a tactician . Verdict: Vulnerable . Alastair Cook was suppoerted by Downton before being sacked as one-day captain before the World Cup . James Whitaker . The chairman of selectors and former Leicestershire captain has been involved in one of the grimmest periods in English cricket. Selections have been difficult to fathom at times and a series of well-publicised clangers have alienated the selector from players, spectators and media . Verdict: Sure to follow Downton out the door . England selector James Whitaker (left) and former managing director Downton during a nets session . Peter Moores . An atrocious World Cup heaped even more pressure on the coach, whose reappointment last year by Downton has been mitigated only by last summer’s Test series win against India. Described as ‘the outstanding coach of his generation’ by Downton, Moores’ position is now as weak as it has been. Verdict: Vulnerable . Peter Moores’ position is now as weak as it has been following Downton's dismissal at the ECB . Kevin Pietersen . It is almost inconceivable that barely six months after publishing one of the most vitriolic books in the history of sport, this high-maintenance player could be on the brink of a return. But Downton’s removal, and Giles Clarke’s departure, means the path is now clear for Pietersen if he scores runs for Surrey. Verdict: Return possible . Kevin Pietersen's path is now clear to return if he scores runs for Surrey and he tweeted just as much .

Paul Downton was swept aside as managing director on Wednesday . Downton lost his job following a woeful 2015 World Cup performance . The 58-year-old's job description has been abolished as a result .

Defender Daryl Janmaat has admitted Newcastle got exactly what they deserved from their derby trip to Sunderland - nothing. The 25-year-old Holland full-back played the full 90 minutes of Sunday's 1-0 Barclays Premier League defeat at the Stadium of Light despite suffering a suspected tear in his calf muscle during the warm-up, but was unable to prevent the Black Cats running out winners as the Magpies slipped to a record fifth successive defeat in the fixture. Newcastle created little of note on another poor day for John Carver's men, and Janmaat was pulling no punches as he assessed the fall-out. Daryl Janmaat (left) has admitted that Newcastle United's performance in their Tyne-Wear derby against Sunderland wasn't good enough and they got exactly what they deserved - nothing . The Holland full-back played the full 90 minutes despite a suspected calf muscle tear . Janmaat tries to get across and stop a cross from Sunderland's Steven Fletcher at the Stadium of Light . He told NUFCTV: 'It was not good enough. The first half was really poor, we were too negative, so it was not good enough. The second half was much better, but it still wasn't good enough. 'I wouldn't say we didn't give everything. What I can say is we were not good enough and everybody saw that Sunderland were better, especially in the first half. 'If you are not good enough, then most of the time, you lose.' Newcastle were simply not at the races as a Sunderland side motivated by new head coach Dick Advocaat dominated from the off, although they looked like making it to half-time unharmed before Jermain Defoe smashed home a stoppage-time volley which proved to be the tangible difference between the teams. Janmaat said: 'A goal in the last minute of the first half, it's always hard to concede it because you go into the dressing room with a bad feeling. If you go in at 0-0, you can be positive in the dressing room, but if you concede a goal in the 47th minute, then it's hard. Jermain Defoe scored the winning goal - a spectacular volley - on the stroke of half-time . Defoe's goal proved to be ample reward for Sunderland's dominance in the Tyne-Wear derby . The result moves Sunderland three points clear of the Barclays Premier League relegation zone . April 13 Liverpool (A) April 19 Tottenham Hotspur (H) April 25 Swansea City (H) May 2 Leicester City (A) May 9 West Bromwich Albion (H) May 16 Queens Park Rangers (A) May 24 West Ham (H) 'But they deserved to score in the first half because they had maybe 20 free-kicks and they were better than us, then normally you score a goal. Like I said, it was not good enough.' Defeat was greeted with fury by frustrated fans who have now seen Sunderland take 17 of the 21 points on offer in the last seven derby encounters. Indeed, the Black Cats have won just 17 of their last 75 league games, five of them against their neighbours, a statistic which provides a damning indictment of Newcastle's lack of progress on the field. The Magpies last week reported profits of £18.7million at a time when its recruitment policy has once again come under close scrutiny. Carver went into Sunday's game with only one recognised central defender and right-back Janmaat having to play in the middle with midfielders Ryan Taylor and Jack Colback operating as full-backs, and he was also without a proven Premier League striker in the 18. Newcastle United manager John Carver had to cope with a weakened defence following injuries . Janmaat gets stuck into a challenge with Sunderland's Steven Fletcher during the derby match . That selection crisis was due in part to suspensions for Fabricio Coloccini and Papiss Cisse and injuries to Steven Taylor, Paul Dummett and Massadio Haidara, as well as midfielders Cheick Tiote, Siem de Jong and Rolando Aarons, a casualty list which has served to expose the lack of depth in a squad assembled on a budget and made up largely of players sold a move to St James' Park as a stepping stone to bigger things. Owner Mike Ashley's tight financial constraints mean where the Magpies were once able to compete for big names - it was they who sparked the bidding war which ultimately led to Wayne Rooney's move to Manchester United from Everton in 2004 - they are now unwilling to do so even with clubs of a similar or lesser stature, and as a result, less able to do so on the pitch. Newcastle have made no secret of their view that the domestic cup competitions are unimportant, and European qualification very nearly ended in disaster during the 2012-13 campaign. Mid-table Premier League status and financial self-sufficiency remain the stated dual focus and as a result, disenchantment on the terraces has reached epidemic levels. It is against that backdrop that Carver is attempting to prove he is the man to replace Alan Pardew at the helm, but a run of two wins from 13 games represents a less than impressive audition despite the mitigating factors.

Sunderland beat a lacklustre Newcastle 1-0 in Tyne-Wear derby . Janmaat played the full 90 minutes despite suspected calf injury . The Holland full-back admitted performance wasn't up to standard . Black Cats have not taken 17 of last 21 point available in derby games .

Burying the dead along with a human sacrifice was common in ancient Korea. But an unusual tomb dating to between the 5th and 6th century seems to hold the remains of two lovers, one of whom may have been killed so the pair could lie together for eternity. The skeletons were found on top of one another in the tomb from Korea’s Silla Dynasty, leading some experts suggesting that the set-up could even have been designed to show two people having sex. An unusual tomb dating to between the 5th and 6th century seems to hold the remains of two lovers, one of whom may have been killed so the pair could lie together for eternity. Here, the bones of the two people can be seen on top of one another, leading some experts to suggest the set-up was designed to imitate sex . Archaeologists are almost certain that the tomb was intended for a noblewoman and believe that the man she is lying with may have been killed so he could be buried with her. The tomb is made of soil and stone and was discovered last December in Hwangnam-dong, a neighbourhood of Gyeongju City in South Korea,Korea Joongang Daily reported. It was the capital of ancient Silla for almost 1,000 years and is known for its intricate gold ornaments and Buddhist temples. The remains of the two people, including leg bones and teeth, were found in the main chamber of the tomb and are thought to have died between the ages of 20 and 30. Experts believe the tomb was intended for the woman, because her body is carefully positioned to face the sky and she was buried with gold earrings, indicating her high status. A belt, beaded necklace and jade green jewels were also found with her skeleton. It is not known whether she died naturally or was killed. Archaeologists are almost certain that the tomb was intended for a noblewoman and believe that the man she is lying with may have been killed so he could be buried with her. The position of the skeletons is shown above . It's thought that the tomb was intended for a noblewoman, based on the positioning of her skeleton and objects found with her body, such as gold earrings (pictured). In contrast, no precious possessions were found with the male body, leading experts to speculate that he was a human sacrifice and possibly, her lover . Both the woman and the man in the tomb are estimated to be between the ages of 20 and 30 when they died, or were killed. The woman is thought to have been a noblewoman, based on the fact that her body was positioned on its back in the tomb, and she was buried with precious items such as gold earrings and jade. A sword and horse harness was discovered in another room of the tomb, indicating she was used to riding a horse and carrying a weapon, which was not unusual during the Silla Dynasty, which sometimes had women rulers. The man would have been the woman's lover, servant or body guard and it is likely that he was killed to be buried with her. Human sacrifices were buried in tombs at the time so they could act as guards in the afterlife. But when males were killed, they were usually placed at the feet of the person whom the tomb was intended for, or outside the main chamber, indicating that the man was of special interest to the noblewoman. The fact that the bones lie on top of each other have led experts to think that the couple were lovers. Some even say that their bodies were positioned to make it look like they were having sex. In contrast, the man is believed to be a human sacrifice and his bones are positioned on top of hers. While male sacrifices were rare but not unheard of at the time, the set up in tomb is thought to be unique. Silla history expert, Professor Lee Han-sang of Daejeon University, told The Chosun Ilbo: ‘The man could have been a servant, bodyguard or lover’. ‘The discovery is important because it shows an unknown type of burial of the living with the dead in the Silla period.’ Kim Kwon-il, a researcher at The Foundation of Silla Cultural Heritage Research, said: ‘Male sacrifices were often buried in the room where the artefacts were, as guards, so to speak, for the dead.’ In the Silla tomb, the position of the teeth indicate that the man and woman’s heads laid next to each other. The only bodies previously found in main chambers, show that human sacrifices were often positioned at the feet of the person whom the tomb was intended for. Some historians believe that the couple were deliberately arranged to make it look as if they were having sex, Yonhap News Agency reported. The man’s thigh bones were found on top of the woman’s, indicating that they could have been locked in an embrace when they were buried. However, researchers at the foundation say that t's more likely that the man may have been buried on a wooden frame above her body, which decayed over time, so his bones became mingled with hers. Explicit clay dolls with large penises or breasts have previously been found and belong to the Silla, supporting some claims that the burial could have been posed to look sexual. In another room of the tomb, artefacts including a sword, harness and pottery was recovered, indicating that the woman probably rode horses and carried a weapon. No artefacts linked to the man were found, reinforcing the belief he was a sacrifice. Tombs from the early part of the Silla Dynasty are rare and just 24 are known to have been discovered. The tomb is made of soil and stone and was discovered in Hwangnam-dong (shown on the map with a red marker), a neighbourhood of Gyeongju City in South Korea, last December .

An Ohio police officer has been praised for not firing at an armed double murder suspect as he charged at him during a terrifying incident caught on a bodycam. Former Marine Jesse Kidder was in a patrol car chasing Michael Wilcox, who allegedly gunned down is fiance and best friend, in New Richmond on Thursday when they stopped and continued the confrontation on foot. The 27-year-old accused killer then started sprinting towards Kidder, asking him to shoot. The officer had been warned by dispatchers before he arrived at the scene that the suspect might try 'suicide by cop'. Former Marine Jesse Kidder (right) has been praised for 'restraint and maturity' after he refused not to use deadly force against an armed double murder suspect. He had only been on his Ohio police force a year . Terrifying bodycam footage shows Kidder aiming at Michael Wilcox, 27, following a police chase. Wilcox, accused of gunning down two people, was also armed . At one point Wilcox said: 'Shoot me or I'll shoot you', but the Purple Heart winner refuses and responds by saying: 'I don't want to.' Eventually the suspect surrendered and lay on the ground with his hands outstretched as backup arrived, allowing Kidder's partner to handcuff him. The footage shows Kidder's gun aiming at Wilcox throughout the encounter. The officer told Cincinnati's WLWT: 'I was trying to open a dialogue with him. 'I don't want to shoot you, get on the ground,' but he wasn't having it. 'He got towards my face right as I lost balance. I'm thinking, at this point, that if he goes into attack me, that I'll have to use deadly force to defend myself.' Despite the tense confrontation, which could have quickly turned deadly, Kidder said he had to make sure his decision was correct. 'Law enforcement officers all across the nation have to deal with split-second decisions that mean life or death. I wanted to be absolutely sure before I used deadly force.' After the clip surfaced, Richmond Police Chief Randy Harvey, led the response for the cop's actions. 'For him to make the judgment call that he did shows great restraint and maturity,' he said. Wilcox, who allegedly gunned down is fiance and best friend, ran at Kidder (right) and asked the rookie to shoot him in New Richmond on Thursday. He has since been arrested and is being held on a $2m bond (mugshot left) 'This video footage, it eliminated all doubt that this officer would have been justified if in fact it came to a shooting.' Kidder, who did two tours of duty in Iraq, also revealed that a member of his family gave him the body cam after Michael Brown was shot dead by Darren Wilson in Ferguson last August. Harvey is now fundraising so all his cops can wear the devices. Wilcox was being held on Saturday on a $2m bond. Kidder's actions come in the midst of controversy and protests around the country over police officers shooting suspects dead. As Wilcox gets closer, Kidder refuses to shoot him, despite the suspect's attempt to try suicide by cop . Eventually the suspect surrendered and lay on the ground with his hands outstretched as backup arrived, allowing Kidder's partner to handcuff him .

Gary Field, pictured,  was seen at a Ukip event in South Thanet awaiting the arrival of Nigel Farage . Nigel Farage was at the centre of fresh controversy last night after National Front members turned up to campaign for him in the South Thanet constituency. The row started after a group of far-Right supporters calling themselves the East Kent English Patriots supported Mr Farage at an event in Broadstairs on Friday evening. They were led by Gary Field, a former regional organiser for the English Defence League, and enjoyed the protection of Ukip’s security teams, which encircled the Broadstairs Pavilion. Mr Field, who has a criminal record for assault, drank beers behind the cordon with fellow members of his group and gestured to onlookers as a crowd waited for Mr Farage’s arrival. Yesterday, Mr Farage’s Labour opponent in South Thanet, Will Scobie, claimed a group of his campaigners had been attacked by National Front members chanting for Ukip in Broadstairs late on Friday. When Mr Farage realised that Mr Field and his supporters had been seen by this newspaper on Friday evening, he moved quickly to disown them, saying: ‘Members of an extremist group today arrived at a Ukip public meeting at the same time as a Mail on Sunday camera arrives.’ Mr Farage’s comments triggered a war of words with the patriots group, which immediately posted a message saying: ‘We went to Ukip meeting with members of Kent NF and after the meeting Nigel Farage went on Twitter saying we have far right extremists here... the question is nig, do you want our vote or not?’ An anti-Ukip campaigner, Bunny La Roche, claims she was followed into a cafe by Mr Field earlier this month after she turned up to protest at a Ukip rally in Margate on April 11. She has reported him to police for alleged assault after he sprayed Lynx deodorant in her face. Shortly after the incident, Mr Field posted offensive messages about Mr Scobie, writing: ‘Will scobie you are a liebour [sic] paedo supporting ponse you won’t beat ukip in south thanet you dirty little scummy traitor.’ He added: ‘I have the lynx effect on lefties.’ Gary Field, in the white hat,  said he was opposed to the 'stand up to Ukip group' and the extreme left . Mr Field is a former regional organiser of the EDL and was waiting for Ukip leader Nigel Farage, pictured . Mr Field was tagged in 2013 for breaching a community service order after being found guilty of assault. Mr Field said yesterday: ‘I am against Labour and oppose the stand-up to Ukip group. I did spray her [Bunny] with deodorant. It was just banter. ‘She and her people are on the extreme Left. I am not a member of any political party and I don’t intimidate people.’ A Ukip spokesman said: ‘We don’t know who Gary Field is, and therefore we have no responsibility for the actions he takes or the events that he attends. We have made our stance on extremist groups clear. We have no truck with them. End of.’
