By . John Hall . PUBLISHED: . 15:48 EST, 24 January 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 16:07 EST, 24 January 2014 . 'Good and loving': Alcoholic Ann Lupton beat her senile mother to death at her home in Preston . An alcoholic who beat her senile mother to death could be free in just two months after a judge said she deserved 'mercy'. Marie Hothersall, 83, died in hospital two months after her 54-year-old daughter Ann Lupton launched a savage drunken attack at her home in Preston, Lancashire on July 23 last year. But after the mother-of-six pleased guilty to manslaughter, Judge Alistair Macduff said he was able 'to show mercy, some might say leniency' to a woman he described as 'good and loving', and remanded her in custody for six months, of which she may only have to serve eight weeks. Lupton, who previously admitted drinking a bottle of wine or half a bottle of spirits every day for almost 12 years, inflicted a catalogue of injuries on her mother 'consistent with forceful slapping, punching, kicking or stamping'. Mrs Hothersall was found on the floor of her home by a support worker the morning after the attack suffering from two black eyes, a fractured hip, a large lump on her head, and swollen hands which had turned black from bruises. She died in hospital two months later. But despite her crime, Lupton’s father told the court the death may have been a 'blessing' before the judge passed a sentence he described as 'merciful'. Jailing Lupton at Liverpool Crown Court today, Mr Justice Macduff said: 'Forgiveness and compassion are wonderful human qualities and are even more to be commended in a society which appears to many people to value retributive instincts even more highly.' 'I can tell you that I am going to pass a merciful sentence so that your release back into the community and into the care of your wonderful family will not be too far into the future,' he said. 'I need to explain why, although I cannot release you immediately, I am able to show you the mercy, some may say leniency, which I believe you deserve. Over the years you had a good and loving relationship with your mother,' he added. The court earlier heard how Lupton became . ‘agitated and aggressive’ when drunk, and she initially told police her mother had . injured herself falling out of bed. Just . minutes after neighbours reported hearing screams and banging, she . messaged her husband saying: 'Mum is a nightmare! Lol xx' The jury at Liverpool Crown Court (pictured) heard how Lupton became 'agitated and aggressive' when drunk, and that she initially told police her mother had injured herself falling out of bed . When her husband phoned her at around 8pm, Lupton said her mother was still being 'stubborn and hard work'. At . about 10pm neighbours heard more thumping and banging that sounded like . 'someone being knocked against the wall', the court heard. Mr Reid added: 'At about 1.10am he heard loud banging, thumping and shouting coming from the victim’s bedroom... He described it as 'so loud it sounded like it was coming through the walls'.' The sentence comes less than a fortnight after Mr Justice Macduff sentenced Emma Parr to ten months in prison for killing her mother Carol in an almost identical attack. Parr, 38, who was suffering depression at the time, pleaded guilty to the manslaughter of Carol, 62, and was shown sympathy by the judge for being a ‘loving and caring person’. Sentencing Lupton, Mr Justice Macduff said: 'Unhappily, as you well know, there were two very sad features of your relationship in recent times... You had sunk into deep alcoholism and your mother, by now aged 83 years, developed severe dementia. This made her difficult and unreasonable.' 'Your drink and her dementia coincided with tragic consequences on the night of July 23 last year... What is clear is that you inflicted a dreadful beating on your mother, as a combination of two things - your alcoholic state and your mother’s behaviour which frustrated and provoked you into anger.' He added: I accept that it is your alcoholism which has been directly responsible for your actions on that evening. That does not excuse but does explain... Like your wider family, I have a great deal of sympathy for you. You will suffer a life sentence whatever I do today.' He went on to say: 'I know that you will have to live with your dreadful actions for the rest of your life. To that extent, you are already being punished.' Lupton wept in the docks as the judge passed sentence, before had wished her ‘good luck’. Mr . Justice Macduff added: 'I am entirely satisfied that what you did on . take dreadful was the product of your illness and that through it all . you continued to love your mother and she you...Thus I can apply clemency and mercy when sentencing you.'

By . Daily Mail Reporter . Wake-up call: Helen Rogers, 57, is being prosecuted for her cockerel's 'particularly noisy' crowing . They say the early bird gets the worm, but all Big Bird the cockerel manages to do is irritate his neighbours. Chicken breeder Helen Rogers, 57, is being prosecuted for the animal's ‘particularly noisy’ crowing. Villagers say he wakes them at 3am and goes on ‘incessantly’ until 11pm, starting a chain reaction of crowing in Hambledon, Hampshire. Officers from Winchester City Council have visited the site five times - and served Mrs Rogers with a noise abatement notice in August last year. But she now been summoned to Fareham Magistrates' Court on Thursday accused of breaching the order on three occasions. Mrs Rogers has denied the four-year-old Light Sussex cockerel is a nuisance or crows throughout the night. And she claims she followed the council's advice to cover the coop with a black-out blanket at dusk and remove it no earlier than 9am. 'Several people in the village own cockerels and they all make a noise. That is what cockerels do,' she said. 'I don't understand people who live in the countryside and then complain about country noises such as animals and farm machinery. 'We have a school opposite the land where you can hear the children playing, and a church where the bells ring regularly. 'If you don't like this sort of thing you should move to the town or city instead. My cockerel is no more noisy than any other cockerel in the area and it is certainly not a nuisance. 'I keep it covered, so it does not crow at unreasonable hours. I am also unsure how anybody can tell the difference between my bird and any other. Animal lover: Villagers say he wakes them at 3am and goes on 'incessantly' until 11pm, starting a chain reaction of crowing in Hambledon, Hampshire. Above, Mrs Rogers is pictured with two of her other birds . Action: Officers from Winchester City Council (pictured) served Mrs Rogers with a noise abatement notice in August last year. But she now been summoned to court accused of breaching the order on three occasions. 'It is ridiculous and upsetting that I am being taken to court over something like this.' Mrs Rogers breeds rare cockerels, chickens, and ducks on the land, previously known as St Peter's Farm. It is home to seven ducks, 21 rare breed chickens, three normal chickens, two cockerels, six horses, one rabbit, and two dogs. Denial: Mrs Rogers has denied Big Bird is a nuisance or crows throughout the night. Above, she is pictured with her rare breed cockerel, Henry . But the animal lover lives around 20 miles away in Chichester, West Sussex. Mrs Rogers said she had received letters from the council, in which they said neighbours had complained about the 'incessant crowing'. 'One neighbour has said he would like to see Big Bird "dispatched" but there is no way I am doing that,' she said. 'If I have to I will move him elsewhere, but I won't kill him or give him away.' Councillor Tony Coates, who represents the village on Winchester City Council, said the noise 'has been annoying half the village'. He added: 'The countryside is noisy, smelly, and occasionally dangerous, and people who live here should put up with that to some extent. 'But this cockerel is an early-riser and particularly noisy. When it crows it starts a chain reaction among the other cockerels in the village. 'In this instance, it is a nuisance. It needs to be kept in a darkened coop, and its perch should be put higher up so it cannot extend its neck and crow." Caroline Dibden, vice chairwoman of Hambledon Parish Council, said: 'It is a particularly noisy cockerel and wakes people up very early in the morning. 'Our single biggest attended parish council meetings are when St Peter's Farm is on the agenda. 'This particular issue is a real problem because it affects a lot of people.'

(CNN) -- Naomi Sims, one of the world's first black supermodels, has died at the age of 61 after a battle with breast cancer, according to her family. Naomi Sims became an icon of the "Black is Beautiful" movement with her modeling. Alex Erwiah, her brother-in-law, said Sims died Saturday in Newark, New Jersey. Sims was a teenager from Oxford, Mississippi, when she broke fashion industry color barriers on New York runways in 1967. She became an icon of the "Black is Beautiful" movement after she appeared on the cover of Ladies' Home Journal magazine in November 1968. She later graced the covers of Time, Cosmopolitan, McCall's, Life and many other magazines. Audrey Smaltz was a fashion editor at Ebony magazine when she became Sims' friend. "She demanded attention," Smaltz said. "She would walk into a room and people would come to a stop. People would go, 'Oh, my God, look at that person.' " Essence: Images of Naomi Sims . Smaltz said Sims' success as a model "started the whole whites accepting blacks," paving the way for others, including Beverly Johnson. "They had so many fabulous black models in the '70s," Smaltz said. "It was our heyday, and Naomi made that way for the rest of the girls to come along." Sims quit modeling in 1973, saying she was bored and disenchanted with the use of racial quotas in the fashion industry. "If they use you, it's because you're Black," she said in the biography posted on her personal Web site. Sims married in 1973 and soon gave birth to a son, Robert.

Jose Mourinho insists there is more to come from Didier Drogba at Chelsea as the striker says he wants to stay at the club beyond the end of the season. Mourinho led the tributes to Drogba as he was honoured for his outstanding contribution to the game by the Football Writers' Association at a Gala Tribute evening at the Savoy Hotel in London on Sunday. Mourinho hailed Drogba, who first joined Chelsea for £24million in 2004, as the club's 'best value player ever' and insisted the 36-year-old was 'not finished yet.' Chelsea striker Didier Drogba poses with his award at the Football Writers' Association Gala Tribute evening . Drogba, in action against Bradford on Saturday, has been signed by Jose Mourinho on two occasions . The 36-year-old celebrates scoring against Manchester United at Old Trafford in October last year . Dressed smartly in a blue suit and bow tie, Drogba followed the likes of Mourinho, Sir Alex Ferguson and David Beckham by picking up the prestigious award. He said: When you have achieved so much and won so many trophies like we have done in the past 10 years, that creates something special. 'I hope, and the club makes me believe, I am part of this big family, so we are going to find the best thing for both of us to promote the club in the best way." 'When I left this club (the first time in 2012), I was saying that I had done everything I wanted to do, but I think now that I did not do everything, I think there is more to do. 'I love this club and would love to be part of this club for the future, with the new players.' Earlier Mourinho, speaking to the Football Writers' Association, said: 'I came to Chelsea in the summer of 2004 and in my first written report to Mr Abramovich in relation to my plans for the club, I gave the names of some players. 'Big names were arriving at Chelsea in that period. The previous summer, for example, Claude Makelele came from Real Madrid and Hernan Crespo came from Inter, among others, but Didier was unknown and the price was very, very high. 'Yet I knew as clearly as I have ever done that he was the player I wanted. 'I was very strong to persuade my club to pay such an amount for him and I think we can already say he was the best-value signing for Chelsea in relation to what he has done for the club over so many years, and he is not finished yet.' Jose Mourinho, pictured with Drogba shortly after signing him in 2004, says the striker is his favourite player . Drogba poses for photographers after winning the Champions League with Chelsea in May 2012 . Drogba celebrates winning the 2012 FA Cup with team-mates John Terry (centre) and Frank Lampard . Drogba has been recognised for his impressive performances on the pitch over the last 16 years and also his charity work away from it, with his foundation having funded many projects in his homeland of the Ivory Coast. The 36-year-old, who started in Chelsea's shock 4-2 defeat by Bradford on Saturday, expressed his gratitude at being picked as this year's recipient. He said: 'I am really proud for this award, in the list of previous winners there are a lot of players whom I really respect and grew up trying to reach there level, so for me this is a great honour. 'When I came to England, things were difficult, there was the language barrier and culture change. 'With time, we managed to learn more from each other and today I am really happy that the football writers not only understand me a lot on the pitch, but have also helped me with my foundation work.' Midfielder Joe Cole (right) holds the Premier League trophy with Drogba at Stamford Bridge in May 2005 . Drogba holds the League Cup in 2007 after beating Arsenal at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff . Mourinho also revealed that he counts Drogba as his favourite player, describing him as a 'phenomenal' person. Mourinho added: 'Throughout my career, I have always refused to say which is my favourite player or the best person, because so many have given soul and blood to play and to fight with me, but if I have to choose one who represents all the good things you want in a player and a man, I think in this moment I would choose Didier.' 'Didier arrived at Stamford Bridge for £24million, but he is probably the best-value Chelsea player ever, and I remember clearly how it happened. 'I came to Chelsea in the summer of 2004 and in my first written report to Mr Abramovich in relation to my plans for the club, I gave the names of some players. 'Big names were arriving at Chelsea in that period. The previous summer, for example, Claude Makelele came from Real Madrid and Hernan Crespo came from Inter, among others, but Didier was unknown and the price was very, very high. 'Yet I knew as clearly as I have ever done that he was the player I wanted. 'I was very strong to persuade my club to pay such an amount for him and I think we can already say he was the best-value signing for Chelsea in relation to what he has done for the club over so many years, and he is not finished yet. 'My story with him started after I got Marseille in my Champions League group when I was manager of Porto. 'Before we played against them, I travelled to Marseille to watch them play Paris Saint Germain and I was amazed with the potential I saw in him. 'When we played against them, I met him in the tunnel before the game and I told him, 'I don't have money to buy you, do you have a cousin like you who is lost in Ivory Coast?' 'That was the first time that the big guy put his arm around me. He told me, 'In Porto, you don't have money to buy me, but if you move to another club where you do have money to buy me, then I will go with you.' 'After the Champions League final with Porto at the end of that season, I moved to Chelsea and immediately began the process to sign him. 'Reflecting on our relationship, I have three moments in my mind that best characterise the man – because Didier the man is just as great as Didier the player. 'The first one was when I met him at Farnborough Airport when he was landing to sign for Chelsea. The way he hugged me, and the way he thanked me was not normal for a player towards a manager, immediately after signing for a new club. Chelsea were changing his life forever in that moment, and he knew that. 'The second moment was after we won the 2007 FA Cup at Wembley against Manchester United. The game finished and I went to the dressing room, leaving the players to enjoy the moment and to celebrate on the pitch. 'I was on the phone with my wife, when suddenly a big monster ran into the dressing room and told me that if I didn't come with the players, they wouldn't collect the cup. They would only go up there with me. 'I told him that I wanted the players to go and enjoy the moment together – that I didn't need to be there – and he said, "We are only one. You can come by your will, or I will carry you there!" 'The third moment was when I left Chelsea in 2007 and I saw the big man crying like a baby. 'So I can say that he is a phenomenal person, and I have also had the privilege to visit his country and to see what he means, not just to the people of Ivory Coast, but to so many African nations in that region. 'I know what he means as a player and as a person. That is why this combination of the player and the person is so amazing. 'Throughout my career, I have always refused to say which is my favourite player or the best person, because so many have given soul and blood to play and to fight with me, but if I have to choose one who represents all the good things you want in a player and a man, I think in this moment I would choose Didier.'

Hong Kong (CNN) -- A Philippine teenager with a shy, crooked smile and expressive eyebrows -- who also happens to be the first figure skater ever to represent a Southeast Asian country -- qualified for the free skate after his performance on Thursday. Michael Christian Martinez, the lone athlete for the Philippines, is an unlikely competitor from a country without snow. Catapulted into the limelight after qualifying last year, his entire home country, which has never won a medal in the Winter Olympics, is rooting for him. On Thursday, he finished 19th overall with a total segment score of 64.81 which means he'll move on to Friday's final free skate. "I'd love to qualify for the free skate [top 24]; that would be a big accomplishment for me," Martinez, 17, said in an interview with NBCOlympics.com prior to the competition. "I don't know what placement I'll get because my training is so different, but we'll see." It's likely to be a David-versus-Goliath match-up. Facing medal favorites such as Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu and Canada's Patrick Chan, who rank first and second after the short program, Martinez has not benefited from the same intensive training as many of his competitors. Maria Teresa Martinez, his mother, said her son had full training for two months before arriving in Sochi because of difficulties funding his Olympic aspirations. Ice skating is a costly endeavor with expenses for travel, equipments and coaches. His mother told CNN in an email that the family patched together donations from a local shopping mall ice rink, friends and his skating club. She said the family's life saving has been depleted and that their family's farm in Luzon province had been damaged by typhoons last year. If Martinez hadn't qualified for the Olympics in 2013, he would've had to quit competitive skating because his family couldn't afford it, his mother added. "Now that he qualified, we are hoping we can finally get support so he can continue, and try to qualify again in 2018, where he will be more matured and more ready physically and mentally," she wrote. Regardless of how he fares this week, Martinez has come a long way. Born in Paranaque City, Martinez was stricken with asthmatic bronchitis at two months old. As a young boy, he struggled with sports because of his asthma attacks. "I couldn't take up any sport. I tried outdoor sports when I was younger, but I easily got asthma attacks so I stopped," he said in his Sochi Olympic athletes profile. "I had asthma maintenance medicine when I started skating, since the cold in the rink makes me sick too. But year after year, my health keeps improving, so my mother fully supported me to continue skating. She said it's better to spend the money on skating than in the hospital." He got his first glimpse of skating after going to a shopping mall with his mother at age 8. He became mesmerized when he saw skaters spinning and jumping. By age 12, he was competing in European junior competitions and winning gold without a coach, his mother said. In 2010, he began training in the United States with coaches including John Nicks and Ilia Kulik, she said. Martinez splits his time between Manila and Los Angeles. In 2013, he came in fifth at the world Junior Championships in Milan. He is currently ranked 30th by the International Skating Union. Martinez does not have a dedicated practice rink in the Philippines and has to use a public one, his mother said. In late January, Martinez nursed an inflamed knee, saying it was likely caused by skating on rough ice, according to an interview with Catholic News Service. Martinez' social media accounts show a smile-prone teenager flashing peace signs in photographs and having the time of his life in Sochi.
Teenage from the Philippines is first Olympic figure skater from southeast Asia . Michael Christian Martinez started skating at age 8 at public rink . He has had just two months of full training because of financial factors .

A mysterious new polio-like illness has infected more than 100 children in the U.S. in the last five months, and only one has made a full recovery, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports. The CDC reports that the strange illness is now being called Acute Flaccid Myelitis. The illness, which has infected 103 children across 34 states, affects the spinal cord, resulting in a sudden onset of weakness in one or more arms or legs. Illness: A mysterious new polio-like illness, Acute Flaccid Myelitis, has infected more than 100 children in the U.S. in the last five months, and only one has made a full recovery (stock image) According to the The Transverse Myelitis Association, there have been various incidents of partial paralysis, weakness in limbs, and total paralysis among the cases. Dr. Teri Schreiner from Children’s Hospital Colorado told TMA that many patients have noted facial weakness as well, weakening muscles used to move the eyes, to swallow, and to speak. The illness infects children around the age of seven and while about two thirds of the children who have been observed for the illness have shown improvement, one third have shown no improvement. And, the CDC reports, only one child has fully recovered. Almost all of the children infected were hospitalized, and some were put on breathing machines. Outbreak: Officials are investigating whether the illness is related to the 2014 outbreak of Enterovirus-D68 (stock image) 'Unfortunately, none of the treatments that we use commonly for acute myelitis have shown much effect with Acute Flaccid Myelitis,' Schreiner said. Keith Van Haren, a child neurologist at Stanford University School of Medicine, told The Atlantic that doctors don't know how to treat or prevent the illness. 'It actually looks just like polio, but that term really freaks out the public-health people,' he said. Although officials do not know the specific cause of the illness, the CDC reports that the polio-like illness is most similar to illnesses caused by enteroviruses, West Nile virus, herpesvirus, and the adenovirus. Recommendations: The CDC is working to pinpoint the cause of the illness, meanwhile, officials recommend frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick people, and disinfecting frequently (stock image) Officials are investigating whether the illness is related to the 2014 outbreak of Enterovirus-D68. The Atlantic reports that neurologists say  the illness may be an effect of the enterovirus outbreak, but the link has yet to be proven. Additionally, enteroviruses rarely cause myelitis, the CDC reports, they usually cause mild illness or a form of meningitis. The CDC is working to pinpoint the cause of the illness, meanwhile, officials recommend frequent handwashing, avoiding close contact with sick people, and disinfecting frequently.

Downton Abbey fans can now bring the post-Edwardian look into their own homes after the paint used on set of the hit series went on sale to the general public. The deep shades of grey, used in the kitchen on the period TV drama, were chosen by producers because they were colours commonly used at the time. The authentic colours were whipped up from recipes that are over 100 years old and have been kept in production by an historic paint company. Authentic: The kitchen in Downton Abbey, pictured here, was painted using deep grey tones that were chosen to reflect colours that were popular during the Edwardian and post-Edwardian era . Back in time: Now Mylands, a company who specialises in recreating vintage lacquers using traditional recipes of the time, has created two shades that will allow modern home-owners to replicate the Downton look, above, for themselves . The hues, Empire Grey and Amber Grey, are made using earth pigments and ground up marble to create the traditional look. They were created by paint company Mylands, who have been mixing different lacquers since 1884 using techniques that date back to the Georgian and Edwardian times. The paints were used to decorate the stately home’s kitchen, one of the main settings of the show which follows the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family. After the success of Downton Abbey the two stunning shades are now on sale to the general public so that people can recreate the style in their own houses. Prices start from £18.50 for one litre of paint. Get the look: The kitchens on the set of the popular television show,  filmed at Highclere Castle, were painted using deep gray tones created especially for set designers by Mylands, who are now making the paint available for the general public to buy . Classic: Empire Grey and Amber Grey were whipped up using recipes that dated back more than 100 years . The award-winning series is filmed at Highclere Castle near Newbury, Berks, and Ealing Studios in London. A much anticipated fourth series, starring Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern, is due to air this autumn. A spokeswoman for Mylands, based in South London, said: 'We started trading in 1884 with a shop in Stradwell selling paints and wood finishes. 'We began supplying them to theatres and art galleries and started selling paint to film and television companies since the 1920s.

You can be forgiven for forgetting the name of that new acquaintance just minutes after you've been introduced, according to memory experts at University of Sussex. Scientists revealed that while memories can be recalled several hours after learning them, they are inaccessible to us for a period. Although it is not fully understood why . such lapses happen, it is believed to be because they are a necessary . part of the brain's process to avoid overloading with information. What's your name again? Try as you might, information like a person's name takes several hours to be consolidated in the brain . University of Sussex neuroscientists said that any disturbances during these memory lapses disrupt the process and stop memories being formed. One of the experts, Dr Ildiko Kemenes, said: 'Scientists have long wondered why the brain shows these memory lapses. 'Memory formation is an . energy-consuming process. 'The brain would need to decide if it was . worth expending energy for the consolidation of that particular memory. 'The brain has a restricted capacity to learn things and preventing some memory formation would be a way to avoid overload.' In his research, Dr Kemenes introduced an unknown substance to snails' diets to see if they would learn to recognise it as food. When they were fed again, scientists found the snails responded to the stimulus, with memory lapses after 30 minutes and two hours, before the memory became consolidated at about four hours. But if the snail received another different stimulus during the memory-lapse periods, the memory consolidation became disrupted, it was discovered.
Brains are overloaded with information, say University of Sussex scientists .

Arsene Wenger may have closed his transfer window early this winter, but the Arsenal boss can be safe in the knowledge that with Mathieu Debuchy sidelined whilst he recovers from a dislocated shoulder and Calum Chambers returning from illness, he has more than enough depth in the right-back position, according to Gary Neville. After a relatively quiet January at the Emirates - with Wenger bringing in Villarreal defender Gabriel Paulista and 17-year-old midfielder Krystian Bielik - Neville was full of praise for 19-year-old defender Hector Bellerin, who he believes is going from strength to strength. Speaking as a pundit on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, the former Manchester United and England right-back admitted how impressed he was with the young defender's improvement this season since being thrust into the side against Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League in September. Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin celebrates with team-mates after his goal against Aston Villa on Sunday . Bellerin impressed in The Gunners' convincing victory and scored a delightful placed effort from distance . Since being thrust into the limelight against Borussia Dortmund in September Bellerin has hugely improved . With Wenger short on options thanks to injuries to Debuchy, Chambers and Nacho Monreal, Bellerin - who made his Arsenal debut against West Brom in the 2013 League Cup before a short loan spell with Watford -  was thrown in at the deep end at the Westfalenstadion earlier this season when his side fell 2-0 to the Bundesliga strugglers. Age: 19 . Youth career . (2003-2011) - Barcelona . (2011-2013) - Arsenal . Senior career (league) (2013-2014) - Watford (loan) - 8 appearances . (2013-) - Arsenal - 7 appearances, 1 goal . However, despite admitting he was not impressed with Bellerin's maiden Champions League performance in Germany, Neville thinks the Arsenal defender is finding his feet after solid performances against Manchester City and Aston VIlla. 'The one that stood out most for me having watched him come back into the team against Manchester City and see him at close hand [against Villa] was Bellerin the full back,' Neville said. 'He was thrust into the team in September [at Borussia Dortmund] and he really struggled. He looked like it was too early for him. The Spaniard's long-range strike against Aston Villa topped off a great afternoon for the Gunners . 'He got put back into another big game against Manchester City and he was massively impressive. 'The first thing is - has he got speed? I was told he beat not only Walcott's record but Henry's record for over 40 metres. 'He's lightning quick. That gives you a great chance as a full back.' The Gunners are in a great run of form, winning five games on the bounce after their 5-0 dismantling of Villa. Pundit Gary Neville said that the 19-year-old is maturing into a fine full back since his Gunners introduction . Up next are local rivals Tottenham who, like Arsenal, are hoping to work their way into a Champions League spot with a win at White Hart Lane. However, Neville expects Arsenal's short trip across north London to be a completely different kettle of fish for the youngster, with the likes of Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen in the form of their lives. '[Bellerin is] going to get tested by Christian Eriksen at the weekend, who's going to give him a different type of problem,' Neville added. 'But he's come into the team and its great for a young player to see them develop and mature.'

Fire crews and paramedics have been issued with bullet proof vests amid growing fears over a Paris-style gun attack on the UK, it was claimed tonight. Emergency response teams have also been given training in how to cope with a 'marauding' attack by Islamist fanatics which spreads across the country and lasts for days. It comes amid warnings that the threat from home-grown terrorists is at its highest level since 9/11 - with Home Secretary Theresa May revealing today that at least three serious terror plots have been foiled recently. Scroll down for video . The Home Secretary said the UK's anti-terror agencies were increasingly powerless to tracking British-based fanatics . Mrs May told MPs that innocent lives were being put 'at risk' by the failure to give the security services the powers they need to prevent a terrorist attack. She said the UK's anti-terror agencies were increasingly powerless to tracking British-based fanatics because the law stops them from monitoring emails. The Tory Cabinet Minister said every day that passed without giving MI5 and the police new powers meant 'crimes will go unpunished and innocent lives will be put at risk'. She also claimed that around 600 Britons are now thought to have travelled to Syria to fight on the front line with ISIS. Across Europe there are now thought to be up to 5,000 Islamist fanatics at large after returning from the Middle East. In a Commons statement this afternoon, Mrs May confirmed that Britain's counter-terror services were being given extra training in how to deal with a Paris-style attack - where marauding gunmen bring mayhem to the streets. It comes after David Cameron held talks with spy chiefs earlier this week to step up Britain's defences against the threat posed by a 'fanatical death cult of Islamist extremist violence'. According to the Telegraph, paramedics and fire crews are being taught how to work in buildings, airports and railway stations that may be booby-trapped with bombs. The Home Secretary told MPs that future training exercises will incorporate 'specific elements' of the Paris attacks, she said. Mrs May confirmed that Britain's counter-terror police will now be given extra training in how to deal with a Paris-style attack . Mrs May accused Labour's shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper (above) of not supporting new anti-terror powers for the police and security services . Training exercises involving the police, military and security agencies will be adapted in the wake of the murderous attacks in France last week which left 17 victims dead. The Prime Minister asked the police and military to 'continue to work closely together' to ensure that the police, who lead on counter-terror measures, can call on military back-up when needed across the country. Discussion centred on levels of preparedness for 'marauding' gun attacks, similar to those seen in Mumbai in 2008 when 164 people died in 12 shooting and bomb attacks over four days. Police and security agencies 'regularly' carry out training exercises to test their response to a terror attack, including scenarios similar to the incidents in Paris, Downing Street said. 'The meeting agreed that for future exercises, the relevant agencies should identify whether there are any further specific elements of the Paris attack that should be built into the exercise scenarios.' It is understood that particular focus has been on the way brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi moved from central Paris after carrying out their attack on the offices of the Charlie Hebdo magazine. They are said to have spent a night in woodland before trying to return to the capital, before becoming holed up on an industrial estate in the small town of Dammartin-en-Goele. Terrorist brothers Cherif Kouachi (left) and Said Kouach (right) died after murdering 12 people in last week's gun rampage . Flowers lay outside Charlie Hebdo headquarters in Paris today - a week after the attack on the newspaper . While thousands of French police were focussed there, Amedy Coulibaly took several people hostage in a Jewish supermarket in the Vincennes district of eastern Paris, stretching resources further. British security teams are to assess their own ability to carry out large scale searches in urban and rural areas and react to the challenge of an incident which lasts several days. A Downing Street spokesman said: 'The Prime Minister held a security meeting in Downing St this morning to review the Paris attacks and the risks to the UK of a similar attack. 'Following an intelligence update, they discussed the UK's preparedness for similar incidents. The relevant police and agencies regularly carry out exercises to test their response to a terror attack, including scenarios similar to the incidents in Paris. 'The meeting agreed that for future exercises, the relevant agencies should identify whether there are any further specific elements of the Paris attack that should be built into the exercise scenarios. 'The Prime Minister also asked the police and military to continue to work closely together to ensure that the police can call on appropriate military assistance when required across the country. 'They also discussed the risk posed by firearms, agreeing that our existing tough firearms laws are a very important part of the protections we have and that we should step up our efforts with other countries to crackdown on the illegal smuggling of weapons across borders.' It comes as the UK's most senior firearms officer called for a new elite armed police unit to be on stand-by for Paris-style terror attacks. Mr Cameron has pledged to introduce 'more comprehensive' powers to monitor terror suspects in the UK. MI5 chief Andrew Parker warned last week that al Qaida terrorists in Syria were planning 'mass casualty attacks' against Western targets, and Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe said a terror attack in the UK was 'a possibility' - though he stressed he did not think it 'likely'.

Flight attack: Jeff Ellis, of West Linn, Oregon, was stung by a scorpion while on a commercial flight from Seattle, Washington, to Anchorage, Alaska . You would expect the worst thing stopping you getting a bit of sleep on a red-eye flight might be a screaming child or an air hostess. But Jeff Ellis, of West Linn, Oregon, was stung by a scorpion while on a commercial flight from Seattle, Washington, to Anchorage, Alaska. He was trying to sleep on the 1,400-mile overnight Alaska Airlines flight when he felt something in his sleeve and tried to brush it away. He then felt the crawling again, looked . down and saw the culprit. ‘I picked my hand up and said: “Oh, my God. That's a scorpion”,’ he told KPTV. Mr Ellis said he grabbed the scorpion with a napkin and showed it to his girlfriend, but not before it stung him on the elbow. ‘At first I didn't believe him,’ said his girlfriend Suzanne Foster. ‘But then I saw it. He held the napkin up for me to see, and I saw the tail wiggling. I pretty much jumped out of my seat.’ She called for the flight attendant because Mr Ellis noticed his elbow burning and said it felt like a bee sting. Culprit: Mr Ellis said he grabbed the scorpion with a napkin and showed it to his girlfriend, but not before it stung him on the elbow . Scorpion sting: Two doctors on board checked him out, while the flight crew called for medical staff to meet the plane at the Anchorage airport in Alaska .

The flight originated from Austin, Texas, where Alaska Airlines officials believe the scorpion got on board. An Alaska Airlines spokesman said the airline has never had a poisonous creature on one of its flights before. Based on photos he took of the arachnid, Mr Ellis believes he was stung by a striped bark scorpion common in Texas. Whopper: Mr Ellis holds a photograph of the scorpion up to reporters . Shocked: Mr Ellis's girlfriend Suzanne Foster said she 'saw the tail wiggling' as he held the scorpion up and 'pretty much jumped' out of her seat on the plane . Oregon reptile expert Marshall Brooks said bark scorpions are more venomous than emperor scorpions, which are commonly kept as pets. He said most people will experience minor pain from a bark scorpion sting unless they are allergic, in which case it might cause anaphylactic shock. ‘He got stung because he threatened it,’ Mr Brooks said.

Mr Ellis said he is pleased with how the airline handled the situation and he has been offered 4,000 frequent-flier miles and two round-trip tickets. ‘Never in a million years, would I have thought a scorpion would have been on an Alaska Airlines flight headed to Alaska,’ he said. ‘Everybody I've talked to thinks it was incredible, unbelievable.

Arsenal completed a shock loan move for midfielder Kim Kallstrom, a player they first started watching in 2005. The move, which was first revealed by MailOnline on Friday morning, has been in the pipeline for many years as Arsene Wenger has monitored the Swede’s progress following his move to Lyon in 2006. Kallstrom jetted in from Spartak Moscow’s warm weather training base in Abu Dhabi to complete a medical on Friday. VIDEO  Scroll down to see a bicycle kick from Kallstrom in Sweden team training session . Getting shirty: Kallstrom poses in his new Arsenal kit after joining the club on loan . Shock: The move for Kallstrom was rushed through after Aaron Ramsey was ruled out . Experienced: Kallstrom has won 108 caps for Sweden and was successful during a six-year stint at Lyon . No go! Julian Draxler won't be joining Arsenal before the deadline - the club weren't prepared to pay £37m . Age: 31 . Position: Midfield . Clubs: Spartak Moscow, Lyon, Rennes, Djurgaardens . Honours: Ligue 1 title (2007 and 2008), Coupe de France (2008 and 2012) Nationality: Swedish . International caps: 108 . International goals: 16 . Kallstrom said: 'Arsenal is an amazing club with a lot of great players and a coach who has done really well here for a long time. I am so pleased to come here to learn as much as possible. 'I’m here to do my best for Arsenal and to help out the team, so we can achieve good results for the last part of the season.' Kallstrom will arrive on these shores with something of a muddled reputation.The name is familiar, it has been for the best part of a decade. Only now, however, will we be able to pass judgement on the left-footed playmaker with a fancy for free-kicks who, to the consternation of many Arsenal fans, turns 32 later this year. For despite his lingering presence in our psyche, Kallstrom remains something of a mystery. Late bid: Wenger's move for the ex-Lyon midfielder came out of the blue . Twice he has lined up for Sweden against England at major tournaments, first during the 2-2 draw in Cologne at World Cup 2006 and then again at Euro 2012 as the Three Lions emerged 3-2 victors in Kiev. He was also part of the Sweden side – inspired by four-goal Zlatan Ibrahimovic – who enjoyed a 4-2 friendly-match triumph over England in November 2012 and has appeared 108 times for his country.During six years at Lyon he regularly locked horns with British clubs in European competition and, just last season with Spartak Moscow, he was sent off during the closing stages of a 2-1 defeat at Celtic. Hammer time: Kallstrom possesses is famed for possessing a sweet left foot . Back in October while playing for Sweden against Germany, this photograph of the midfielder with young mascot Max went viral. It shows Kallstrom helping the young fan, who has Williams syndrome, before the game. Max’s father wrote a letter to Kallsrom saying: ‘I am writing to you because I’m not quite sure if you understand how much of a difference you’ve made to us. ‘Because of your actions my son was able to experience exactly the same feelings as everyone else: pride, a sense of being special.’ Then there is his association – . unfortunate or otherwise – with the Championship Manager series, the . computer game which forecast big things for Kallstrom during his . formative years with Djurgardens IF in his homeland. No team was complete without the bargain buy from Scandanavia who would go on to superstardom in this alternative universe. So when Kallstrom did leave Sweden in the direction of France aged just 21, it was seen as the natural progression on a journey destined for one of Europe’s top clubs. After two-and-a-half years with Stade Rennais and on the back of his four appearances at the World Cup in Germany, champions Lyon moved for the midfielder. There he would spend six seasons as a virtual ever-present, scoring 22 goals from 269 appearances and collecting two Ligue 1 winners’ medals and two Coupe de France trophies along the way. Never, though, did he scale the heights once expected and, when Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas admitted he was willing to let the player go, Spartak came in with a £3million bid in the summer of 2012. Kallstrom joined Aiden McGeady in the Russian capital but, like the Scot, never truly settled.McGeady . brought closure on his unhappy stay when he signed for Everton earlier . this month and the pair will be reunited when Arsenal travel to Goodison . Park in April. During . his 18 months with Spartak, Kallstrom made just 28 starts and Arsene . Wenger’s decision to invest in the Swede has been met with surprise, . especially when his initial target was 20-year-old Julian Draxler of . Schalke. Either way, at . least his arrival will finally give English fans the chance to . determine whether Kim Kallstrom is indeed midfield magician or simply a . myth.

It is one of the recognisable musical instruments ever made, having featured on songs by everyone from Marvin Gaye to Duran Duran. It is even credited by many as spawning electronic dance music. However, one enterprising fan of Roland's TR808 drum machine has decided to make the electronic gadget real - by recreating it using real instruments in his living room. Scroll down for video . Moritz Simon Geist with his creation, a giant drum machine using actual drums to recreate the iconic Roland TR-808 . The Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer was one of the first programmable . drum machines and was introduced by the Roland Corporation in early . 1980. The first band to use the TR-808 was the Japanese . electronic music group Yellow Magic Orchestra, although it hit the . mainstream in 1982, with the release of the mainstream American hits . 'Sexual Healing' by Marvin Gaye and 'Planet Rock' by Afrika Bambaataa. It is still used in drum and bass, hip hop, R&B, house, electro, and many forms of electronic dance music. The Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, known as the 808, was one of the first programmable drum machines, and the most recognisable. Released in 1980, it has been used in a string of hits in the 1980s by everyone from dance and hip hop bands to Madonna. 'MR-808 is the first drum robot that reproduces the drum sounds of the 80s - in the real world,' said Moritz Simon Geist, who built the machine. 'I have been playing electronic music for several years now, and at some place I was bored of the electronic music production process. 'So I decided to go back to the roots of sound generation – the physical sound generation – but combine it with the electronic music structure we like so much. 'I liked the idea so much, that I couldn’t stop building my own drum robots, and ended up replacing all the electronic sounds of a whole drum computer.' However, unlike the original, the robot 808 doesn't always sound the same, and was designed to sound more 'real'. 'I like the idea of introducing more 'error' into the music,' said Geist. 'A drum beaten by a mechanic robot arm can never . be as predictable as a computer generated sound. 'Consequently, the . mechanic character of the installation MR-808 introduces fallibility . into the performance.' The cabinet for the project recreates the same key layout at the original, although it can also be programmed form a connected computer. Eleven . sounds of the 808 were replaced by mechanical actuators and physical . tone-makers. The instruments . include: Snare, Bass drum, Hi-Hat, Carabassa, Clave, Ride, Clap, Tom . (3x) and Cowbell. A gameboy was also used to recreate some electronic sounds. Motors and solenoids were used as actuators, which . are triggered by a power electronic device and an Arduino . Microcontroller computer. The clapping sound is created by a series of slats . Robotic hands play percussion instruments in one of the projects 'segments' Drumsticks are powered by electronic controllers .

By . Riath Al-Samarrai . Follow @@riathalsam . In the moments following his demolition of Luke Saville, Grigor Dimitrov launched a ball high into the Centre Court crowd and very nearly hit a lady who had not been paying attention. It’s conceivable that the man known as Mr Sharapova was sending a wake-up call. Soon enough, he’ll have made a name in his own right; soon enough the established order of men’s tennis will start to fear the Bulgarian creeping up on them, if they don’t already.

By . Martha De Lacey . The Duchess of Cornwall has hinted at the similarities between herself and the sixth and final wife of Henry VIII, Katherine Parr, who had already been married twice by the time she married the Tudor king, . Camilla, who married Prince Charles following her divorce from Andrew Parker-Bowles, made the comments in a foreword to a new collection of prayers written by Parr -  who was married to the king from July 1543 until his death in 1547 - and now translated into modern English. In the book, The Spice of Wisdom, put together by Rev John Partington, the Duchess writes that Parr - England's most-married queen, with four husbands in total - had a 'passionate' and 'eventful life', and that her voice 'speaks to us still'. The Duchess of Cornwall, left, has praised Henry VIII's final wife Catherine Parr, right, in the foreword of a new book, a collection of prayers written by the 16th century Tudor queen . A drawing of Henry VIII and his sixth and final wife, Katherine Parr, to whom the Duchess of Cornwall has implied an affinity with in the foreword to a new book . As reported by Melanie Hall and Jasper Copping in the Telegraph, Camilla writes: 'Her commitment to what is right and good, . expressed with humility and openness to others, is as valuable now as it . was in the more turbulent times of the Tudors.' She goes on to say: 'Few women's writings have come down to us from so many . centuries ago. In the pages that follow are found not only some of the . carefully crafted prayers that Katherine intended for publication, but . also the more personal hopes and fears of a woman who was as passionate . in her faith as she was in other aspects of her eventful life.' Prince Charles and the former Camilla Parker-Bowles, now the Duchess of Cornwall, following their wedding at the Guildhall in Windsor on 9 April 2005 . When Catherine Parr married Henry VIII in 1543 - here captured in an 18th century drawing - she had already been married twice . Parr was married to Edward Burgh in 1529 and widowed in 1533. She then married John Neville in 1534, only to be widowed again in 1543. She married Henry VIII in the summer of that year. Camilla, meanwhile, was married to Andrew Parker-Bowles in 1973 until their divorce in 1995. She had had a relationship with Charles prior to her first marriage. Both women are known to be or have been close to their step-children. Katherine was step-mother to Henry's children Edward, Mary and Elizabeth, and when her only biological child, a daughter with fourth husband Thomas Seymour, was born in 1548 she named her Mary in honour of her step-daughter. Katherine has been credited with campaigning tirelessly for the restoration of the line of succession in the new Act of Succession of 1544 that allowed Mary, then Elizabeth, to take the throne after their brother Edward. Camilla is close to both her stepsons, Princes William and Harry, and William's wife Kate . Camilla is known to enjoy a close friendship with her stepsons Princes William and Harry, and to have mentored Kate when she joined the royal family upon her 2011 marriage to Charles and Diana's eldest son. The Duchess became involved with the book due to her close friendship with the owner of Sudeley Castle - Parr's former residence and the site of her burial - Lady Ashcombe. She was shown a copy of the prayer collection by Rev Partington, who then wrote to her and asked if she would contribute a foreword because he saw the similarities between the two of them. He admitted he was 'chuffed' when she agreed to do so.

Guilty of assault: Peter Samms went to the home of his son's ex-girlfriend Stephanie Wardn . The father of footballer Danny Simpson has been found guilty of assault after a bust-up with his son’s former girlfriend. Bodybuilder Peter Samms confronted Stephanie Ward, 25, after she revealed how the Newcastle United star had 'cheated' on her with X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos in a national newspaper. Samms, 46, barged into Miss Ward’s home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, just hours after she had aborted the child she was carrying with the footballer. During the confrontation, last November, Samms acted in an 'intimidating and threatening' manner, magistrates in Manchester heard. Miss Ward’s mother Gillian, who had answered the door when Samms arrived at the house, was knocked off balance as he went past her. Samms allegedly warned Miss Ward that he had 'gangster friends' and she would never be able to go out in Manchester again. Prosecutor Rebecca Radcliffe told magistrates that Samms, who works as a security guard, was intimidating 'in terms of body language and physical movement'. Samms, of Ellesmere St, Manchester, denied  common assault and a charge of using threatening or abusive words or behaviour. He was cleared of the second count but found guilty of common assault. Samms was fined £375 and ordered to pay £400 costs and £100 to his victim. Scroll down for video . Close: Tulisa was pictured cuddling up to Danny and a group of friends as they spent an evening together . Lashing out: Tulisa Contostavlos has been branded a 'homewrecker' for reportedly romancing Newcastle ace Danny Simpson . Last November, Miss Ward revealed how she’d been left devastated after finding out Simpson had been dating 24-year-old Tulisa. She branded the singer a 'home-wrecker', adding: “She’s been sleeping in my bed! Danny has humiliated me in front of my family, friends and the whole nation.” But Tulisa’s lawyers later issued a statement saying: “Tulisa categorically denies any allegation that she entered any relationship with Danny Simpson while he was still in a relationship with Stephanie Ward.' Ms Ward told The Sun newspaper: 'We've been off-and-on for the last seven years - but absolutely solid for the last two. 'As . far as I'm concerned he has cheated on me because we hadn't broken up . or anything. She's a home-wrecker and has destroyed my family.' Happy families: Danny has a baby daughter, Skye-Lorena, with his on-off girlfriend of seven years, Stephanie Ward . The pretty brunette is the mother of Simpson's baby daughter Skye-Lorena. She had been reportedly three months pregnant with their second child. It's believed Tulisa met the footballer through mutual friends, before enjoying a date together. Her fans will have been hoping the singer is finally having some good luck in the romance stakes after a series of heartbreaks in recent years. She split from her bandmate and boyfriend of two years Fazer earlier this year. A video of the singer and her ex-boyfriend Justin Edwards also emerged on the internet. Tulisa filed a lawsuit against her ex and it was settled in July - with Edwards subsequently apologising for releasing the tape. Tulisa also dated skins star Jack O'Connell, but their romance eventually fizzled out. VIDEO: Tulisa jokes on X-Factor about relationship with Danny Simpson .

By . Bianca London . It was given the royal seal of approval when Princess Beatrice and Zara Phillips stepped out wearing it this month, and it seems that royals, celebrities and the British public can't get enough of New Look. The high street store has been crowned British women's favourite place to shop on the high street, knocking last season's winner, Zara from the top spot. According to new research conducted by leading brand recommendation site dressipi.com for its annual FBI (Fashion Brands Index), New Look beat the likes of H&M and Topshop to take first place. Royal seal of approval: When Zara Phillips (left) stepped out in this £49.99 maternity coat and Princess Beatrice (right) in a £34.99 skirt from New Look, the store was firmly placed on the fashion map . In the survey of 10,000 women conducted over a six-month period, almost a quarter (24 per cent) of respondents named New Look as their favourite of all high street brands. The results for the six months from June to December 2013 reveal that the once unassailable Zara has slipped to second place in consumers’ affections as the favourite brand of 23 per cent of women. This figure represents a 10 per cent drop on the brand’s ratings among British women in the twelve months since December 2012. Further down the FBI top ten, H&M and Topshop vie for third place, with an equal share of 21 per cent of votes, both posting a slight decline of 1 per cent on the previous six month period. Fifth and sixth placed retailers were Next and River Island with Dorothy Perkins in equal seventh with new entrant Primark. Famous fans: Lucy Watson in a £59.99 coat, Billie Faiers in a £17.99 skirt and her sister Sam in a £59.99 jumpsuit from the high-street store, which has clinched the top spot in the nation's affections . A spokesperson for Dressipi said: 'We . could see from the New Look autumn/winter press preview earlier in the . year that it was going to be a strong season for the retailer - way . before the clothes had even hit the stores. 'Their . trend translation is spot-on without being too obvious, with pieces . that easily work a number of outfits in a number of wardrobes spanning a . good age range. 'It would be easy to put New Look's success over Zara down to price points, but really where the high street is concerned these days it is also very much a case of cleverly getting the balance of trend, basics, versatility and wow-factor product right. 'New Look has been an increasingly important force in UK fashion for a while now, but really broke through in 2013 with strong spring and summer collections and a couple of smart celebrity collaborations, including one with Kelly Brook.' Contender: New Look, famed for its purse-friendly, fashion-forward designs, has beaten Topshop and Zara to be crowned the nation's favourite high street store . New Look was founded in 1969 and its first ever store was in Taunton, Somerset. Fast forward to 2013 and New Look now operates across a chain of over 1,000 stores internationally. Famous fans of the purse friendly fashion include Michelle Keegan, the TOWIE cast, Lucy Watson and Kerry Katona.

(CNN) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Monday he will return to Havana to undergo more cancer treatment. The 57-year-old president has been back and forth several times this year between Venezuela and Cuba, where he is being treated for an unspecified type of cancer. He returned home from his latest trip Thursday. "We're in the home stretch," the president said about his radiation treatment. He spoke during a ceremony to sign a new labor law, during which he also called for Venezuela to withdraw from the Organization of American States' Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. "Enough already!" he said of the Washington-based body, accusing the United States of using it as a way to harm Venezuela. Chavez asked a newly created council to take up the matter. Venezuelan official says Chavez is in full control . The president pulled a cross from his breast pocket, kissed it and clasped it in his fist. "I am confident Christ will repeat, or continue, the miracle," he said, his voice cracking with emotion as he wrapped up his address. Chavez said he would return to Venezuela within "a few days." Since the beginning of the year, he has spent 50 days in Cuba. The Venezuelan government has released few specifics on the president's illness, fueling widespread speculation about his health and political future. Chavez has led Venezuela since 1999 and has pledged to run for re-election in October.

By . Ruth Styles . PUBLISHED: . 07:56 EST, 13 September 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 10:40 EST, 13 September 2013 . With almost 100 million members, it is not stretching the truth to say that Jiayuan.com is not the average dating website. Set up by Shanghai based Chinese entrepreneur Gong Haiyan, the 10-year-old site is the biggest in China and dwarfs Western sites such as Match.com, which is estimated to have just 15 million singles on its books. Now Gong, 37, has revealed the secrets of Jiayuan.com's phenomenal success in an interview with the BBC - but claims that China is sitting on a singledom time bomb. Success story: Shanghai entrepreneur Gong Haiyan posing with photos of couples who met via the site . 'I feel that in the future if more than 20 million men cannot find a wife this could bring serious social problems,' she told BBC reporter Lucy Ash. 'We hear on the news about more single men visiting prostitutes for example. Everyone needs a mate - a life partner - this is a very basic need for every human being.' Thanks to China's infamous one-child policy, official figures show that by 2020, the country will have more than 24 million men unable to find a wife. And it isn't just Chinese men who are having trouble finding a partner. Census figures show that one in five women between 25 and 29 are unmarried - a phenomenon that Chinese commentators have dubbed 'sheng nu' or 'leftover' women. According to experts, the problem is caused by the Chinese preference for men to marry down - both in age and status. Gargantuan: Jiayuan.com has a staggering 100 million users and is the biggest dating site in China . Marriage: Gong set the site up at the age of 27 and met her scientist husband via his Jiayuan profile . As a result, Huang Yuanyuan, a 29-year-old Chinese journalist and researcher, told the BBC, there is a pool of 'A-quality' women with high intelligence and social value for whom getting married just isn't happening. This is where Jiayuan.com steps in. Gong, who met her own husband, a scientist studying fruit flies, on the site, says most of their users are looking for lifetime partners. 'Our users are looking for life partners, not a bit of fun,' she revealed, adding that the site steps into the gap left by traditional village matchmakers or 'Red Mothers'. 'For migrants from the countryside like me, it is next to impossible to rely on the old social networks to find a husband,' she explains. 'When I got to Shanghai I had no friends or family there.' And finding the right person alone, she adds, isn't easy. 'There is an information asymmetry - the person you are looking for does exist but you don't know where to find them. 'On the other hand, because you are aiming for such an ideal partner, the person who does have the qualities you are looking for might not love you back in reality.' So what advice does she give lonely hearts? In an earlier interview with CNN Travel, Gong had this tip for women: 'Don't passively wait to be contacted. Taking the initiative by sending potential mates messages shows you are serious about finding love. In a country like China with typically shy women, you will immediately stand out.' Booming: Gong's successful site signs up new users every second and has been floated on the stock market . While, for men, China's number one matchmaker recommended the following: 'In your initial message, make a specific reference to what you find attractive or interesting about the woman you are contacting. 'When she is browsing messages, yours will immediately stick out, and compliments make a great conversation starter.' And with 4.5 million marriages already under her belt and new users signing up to her website every second of every day, Gong Haiyan is one romantic mentor worth paying attention to. According to the most recent census figures, one in five Chinese women between 25 and 29 are unmarried. Dubbed 'sheng nu' or 'leftover women' in the Chinese media, is currently causing a real headache for the government because most are what journalist Huang Yuanyuan describes as 'A-quality' women. 'There is an opinion that A-quality guys will find B-quality women, B-quality guys will find C-quality women, and C-quality men will find D-quality women,' she told the BBC. 'The people left are A-quality women and D-quality men. So if you are a leftover woman, you are A-quality.' Nevertheless, according to the National Marriage Survey undertaken by the Chinese government in 2010, just one per cent of men thought it was acceptable for women to marry between the ages of 31 and 35, with the overwhelming majority - 60 per cent - saying a woman should marry before the age of 27.
Gong Haiyan, 37, is the Shanghai entrepreneur behind Jiayuan.com . The site currently has almost 100 million singletons on its books . Gong has told the BBC that China is headed for serious social problems . The reason for the issue is the growing number of singles, particularly men .

President Barack Obama met with controversial black pastor Rev. Al Sharpton on Monday at the White House, amid word that he would demand $263 million from Congress to put 50,000 body-worn cameras in U.S. police departments and train local cops to better use surplus military equipment. The moves came in response to the police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Sharpton called the get-together 'a historic meeting that the president and vice president sat with all of us and law enforcement to commit to not just another commitment, another study ... but that he would put his full weight behind it.' 'We live in a country that we must support law enforcement but law enforcement must support justice,' he said. In a brief statement to the press, Obama said that the Brown shooting in Ferguson 'laid bare a problem that is not unique to St. Louis ... and that is a simmering distrust that exists between too many police departments and too many communities of color.' 'He cited civil rights leaders' opinion 'that in a country where one of our basic principles, perhaps the most important principle, is equality under the law, that too many individuals – particularly young people of color – do not feel as if they're being treated fairly.' SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS . President Barack Obama had a full plate on Monday with three separate Ferguson-related meetings, including one with elected officials, community organizers and religious leaders . Rev. Al Sharpton spoke Sunday during a church service in the parking lot at The Flood Christian Church, a house of worship that rioters burned last week in the wake of a grand jury's decision not to indict a white police officer in the shooting death of a black man . ALREADY THERE? Members of the Ferguson, MIssouri Police Department wore body cameras during an August 30 rally . Brown's parents have pushed body-worn cameras as one way to limit distrust between police and criminal suspects following physical encounters. The White House said in August that it agreed with the idea in principle. 'We support the use of cameras and video technology by law enforcement officers, and the Department of Justice continues to research best practices for implementation,' the administration wrote in response to a public petition that attracted more than 154,000 supporters on the White House website. The new initiative will provide 50 per cent of the funding for cameras, but will not pay for them entirely, at a cost of $75 million. It will also provide new training resources and funds to study how to reform police practices. It's unclear why Officer Darren Wilson didn't wear a camera during his fateful encounter with Brown. Members of the Ferguson Police Department were photographed wearing body cameras later that month during an August 30 rally. Obama has a jam-packed day with three separate meetings to discuss the deteriorating situation. He also announced Monday that he wants the Pentagon and Congress to review the program that puts surplus military hardware in the hands of state and local law enforcement. The White House is pushing a new torrent of public messages about the death of Brown, a young black man, at the hands of Wilson, a white officer. Meetings with cabinet officials, with a group of 'young local and national civil rights leaders,' and with top law enforcement officials are on the president's official Monday schedule. Speculation ran rampant on Twitter that Sharpton would attend the civil rights meeting, and his representatives confirmed it just before lunch. Sharpton, a community-organizer-turned-minister-turned-TV-host, is a frequent White House visitor and has appeared in Ferguson. On Sunday he preached at the St. Louis church where Michael Brown's funeral service was held. 'The fight ain't over,' he told a capacity crowd. Alicia Garza, a special projects director at the National Domestic Workers Alliance and a co-founder of the emblematic 'Black Lives Matter' movement, tweeted a cautionary note. 'Obama – meeting with Al Sharpton isn't what's going to change conditions. Those days are LONG GONE,' she wrote. Paramilitary: Police in the war-torn Missouri suburb of Ferguson , like many local forces large and small, participates in a federal program that arms them with surplus battlefield weapons, armor and combat vehicles . Missouri Lt. Gov Peter Kinder said Monday morning on the Fox News Channel that Sharpton 'is an inciter of mobs and he demands mob justice.' The Pentagon program that supplies military equipment to police forces has moved more than $5.1 billion in gear – including guns, tactical vehicles and even aircraft – since its inception. About $500 million in hardware was passed out this year alone. But White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest explained during a briefing Monday that 'the ‘majority of the funds’ spent through those programs ‘has not been used to purchase law enforcement specific equipment’. He characterized it instead as largely a source for office supplies and other materials that can help a police department run smoothly. Earnest told reporters that the program should be tweaked to 'enhance crime prevention while at the same time strengthening the bonds with the communities they are sworn to protect.' He said the president had no plans to visit Ferguson personally but hadn't ruled it out. Black communities, especially in Ferguson, have complained that the federal government is arming their local police to the point where they more resemble paramilitary armies than law enforcement agencies. But on the nights following a grand jury's decision not to indict Officer Wilson, rioters burned buildings and looted stores while shots rang out. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon was criticized later for not deploying the Missouri National Guard, a fully militarized force, in downtown Ferguson. Obama said during an August 18 press conference that it would be 'useful for us to review how the funding was done, how local law enforcement has used grant dollars, to make sure that what they're purchasing is stuff that they actually need.' 'There is a big difference between our military and our local law enforcement, and we don't want those lines blurred. That would be contrary to our tradition,' he said then. Earnest said Monday that the president would appoint a new task force, led by Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey and former assistant Attorney General Laurie Robinson, to study what the White House has called 'best practices' in policing. That task force will have 120 days to report back to the White House. Its work is expected to focus on alleged disparities between the treatment of blacks and whites at the hands of sworn officers. Military weapons and armor have crossed over from Army bases to police barracks tens of thousands of times in the last seven years, including firearms and anti-ambush vehicles . The White House said in a statement that the president's cabinet meeting would concern 'federal programs and funding that provide equipment to state and local law enforcement agencies.' But it did not respond to a request for information about who else, other than Sharpton, would attend its civil rights meeting. The Associated Press reported that Obama's meeting with the civil rights community would focus on challenges posed by 'mistrust between law enforcement and communities of color.' That topic was a major point of emphasis when the president addressed the nation one week ago as Ferguson burned. 'The fact is, in too many parts of this country, a deep distrust exists between law enforcement and communities of color,' Obama said on Nov. 24. 'Some of this is the result of the legacy of racial discrimination in this country. And this is tragic, because nobody needs good policing more than poor communities with higher crime rates.' 'The good news is we know there are things we can do to help,' he added. 'And I've instructed Attorney General [Eric] Holder to work with cities across the country to help build better relations between communities and law enforcement.' Earnest said Monday that it's ‘an unfortunate irony that in those communities where the crime rate is the highest, sometimes the trust is lowest between the members of the community and the police force.’ Michael Brown Sr., left, and his wife, Calvina Brown, right, attended a Flood Christian Church service on Sunday in a tent. The church was torched during riots last week. Sharpton preached at the service. Protests have continued in Ferguson, but have been more muted than the violence sparked last week by a grand jury's decision not to indict police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown after he held up a convenience store. Wilson resigned his post over the weekend. Obama's cabinet meeting concerned 'federal programs and funding that provide equipment to state and local law enforcement agencies,' according to the White House. That has been a front-burner issue since the Ferguson shooting in August, when police showed up in force in military-style vehicles that the Obama and Bush administrations provided through programs that distribute surplus Pentagon equipment.

(CNN) -- What the heck has happened to John McCain? First he flip-flopped on immigration reform. In 2006, Sen. John McCain was a primary co-sponsor of and worked closely with Sen. Ted Kennedy to craft immigration reform legislation that included a path to citizenship for America's undocumented immigrants. But faced with a primary challenge from a tea party Republican in 2010, McCain denied that he had ever supported a path to citizenship. McCain subsequently threw his support behind Arizona state legislation that ostensibly allows for racial profiling of Latinos and is considered one of the harshest anti-immigration laws in the nation. Then he flip-flopped on legislation meant to address the dangers of climate change. In 2003, McCain was a key supporter of so-called "cap and trade" legislation that would create a market-based solution to limit pollution. During his 2008 presidential run, McCain boasted of his support for cap-and-trade measures. "We stand warned by serious and credible scientists across the world that time is short and the dangers are great," said McCain. "The most relevant question now is whether our own government is equal to the challenge." McCain, it appears, was not. By 2009, McCain was calling such measures "cap and tax." By 2014, McCain was blasting Secretary of State John Kerry for even talking about climate change. And now we have Bowe Bergdahl. Recently, the Fact Checker column of the Washington Post found that Senator McCain had flip-flopped on his support for a prisoner swap in exchange for the release of Sergeant Bergdahl. The Post awarding McCain a rare upside-down Pinocchio for his switch in positions. In February 2014, McCain told CNN's Anderson Cooper, "Now this idea is for an exchange of prisoners for our American fighting man. I would be inclined to support such a thing depending on a lot of the details." That was before Obama actually made the exchange. Then McCain said he was against it. McCain claims his objection was based on the details of the five Taliban prisoners swapped for Bergdahl but as the Washington Post Fact Checker pointed out, the details around those five specific prisoners were widely known in February when McCain originally commented. In fact, the Washington Post ran a front-page story with details about the prisoners. McCain's flip-flop, like all his others, was nothing more than political opportunism, plain and simple. Moreover, these are not the only times McCain has wildly switched positions on fundamental issues. Suzy Khimm, then of Mother Jones magazine, produced a thorough list including other flip-flops as of August 2010. But it's somehow especially stunning to hear John McCain flip-flop on the issue of Bergdahl in particular. After all, McCain is without question a true American hero. And he has been, from his earliest days, a man of principle. In 1968, a year into his imprisonment and torture as a prisoner of war during the Vietnam War, McCain was offered early release — the North Vietnamese seeking to gain publicity points after McCain's admiral father was put in command of all U.S. forces in the region. The young John McCain refused. He would only agree to be released if every American taken prisoner before him was released as well. It was only then that McCain was subject to heinous and severe torture, including beatings every two hours. Five-and-a-half years later, the principled POW and his fellow soldiers were released and came home. They received a heroes' welcome. The New York Times put a picture of McCain's homecoming on its front page. It's important to remember that McCain was ultimately released by the North Vietnamese as part of winding down of the war. That's what happens when you end a war; you exchange prisoners — even the dangerous ones. In the case of the five Taliban prisoners swapped for Bergdahl, even a legal adviser from the George W. Bush administration has argued there would be no grounds to continue holding them after the war in Afghanistan officially ended later this year. And by then, they wouldn't even be useful as leverage for Bergdahl's return. Certainly John McCain knows the immense suffering and brutality of being a prisoner of war. He also knows what happens when wars end. In fact, I like to imagine that John McCain knows a lot of things including how ridiculous his repeated backtracking seems in light of his own self-proclaimed principled "maverick" identity. But these radical shifts in position say less about McCain as a person and more about the political party to which he belongs, a party that was for immigration reform and for cap-and-trade regulations and for doing whatever it took to bring Bowe Berdahl home up until the moment that President Obama took the same side. The modern Republican Party is desperately opportunistic and reactionary, trading whatever thin principles it may have once held to simply stand against whatever the other side is for. And John McCain, whether willingly or unwittingly, is at best an illustrative canary in the coal mine or at worst, yet again held hostage -- this time by an increasingly reckless and irrational GOP. UPDATE: An earlier version incorrectly listed McCain as being awarded the Medal of Honor.
Sally Kohn wonders why Sen. John McCain gets away with his constant flip-flops . He was first in favor of prisoner swap for Bergdahl, she says, then was against it . She says McCain's flip-flops are nothing more than political opportunism, plain and simple . But the real reasons may be an desperate and reactionary Republican party .

Whether you're a three-pack-a-day smoker who doesn't like being lectured to about the health risks, or you're a person who doesn't touch cigarettes and wouldn't smoke one if you were offered a Ferrari in exchange, picture this: . Imagine, for a moment, that cigarettes had never been invented. And that in 2013 an eager entrepreneur went to the Food and Drug Administration seeking approval for a new product -- cigarettes -- that he wanted to sell to the American people. Imagine that the Food and Drug Administration, taking its time and doing its homework, came up with all the currently available medical evidence about the dangers of smoking. Whether you're a smoker or not, you know what the FDA's response would be to that hypothetical entrepreneur: . They'd laugh him out of the room. They'd ask him why he was wasting their time. They might, if they were feisty enough, point out the deadly impact of what he was asking them to authorize, and say to him: . "There's a legal term for knowingly causing death to people. In asking us to approve your product, sir, are you not setting us up to become accessories to murder?" But cigarettes are not a new product. They are perfectly legal in all 50 states, and they're going to stay that way. Which is why two cigarette-related events last week are so instructive. The federal government gave up its highly publicized battle to make every package of cigarettes carry large, gruesome-looking illustrations. FDA changes course on graphic warning labels for cigarettes . The proposed illustrations -- they included images of a diseased lung, of a tracheotomy hole in a man's throat, of rotting teeth -- were rolled out with great fanfare in 2010. The government wanted the illustrations to cover the entire top half -- front and back -- of every pack of cigarettes sold in the United States. Last week, faced with arguments from the tobacco industry that the mandatory images violated free speech rights -- the cigarette companies said the images were "intended to elicit loathing, disgust and repulsion" -- the government backed down. Attorney General Eric Holder wrote that the government will not fight the case in the Supreme Court. The FDA will instead reevaluate the proposed labels. Last week's second event took place in New York, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg asked for a law that would force merchants to hide cigarettes on sale in their stores. "Hide" in a literal sense. The legislation would mandate that any cigarettes sold in a store would have to be concealed in a drawer, or in a cabinet, or behind a curtain -- it would be unlawful for the packs of cigarettes to be visible to anyone visiting the store. Bloomberg's point is that the more difficult it is to purchase cigarettes, the fewer packs will be sold, and the healthier citizens will become. Bloomberg: Nanny-in-chief or health crusader? Bloomberg's proposal, and the case of the ghastly illustrations, both underline America's bizarrely bifurcated relationship with cigarettes: . The country -- smokers and nonsmokers alike -- realizes the dangers involved. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that around 443,000 people a year die because of cigarette use. But the product is as legal as a loaf of bread or a jar of pickles. So the cigarette manufacturers have a point when they say the government is overstepping by demanding nauseating images on their packages. Free speech does not only refer to our right to say anything we choose; it also refers to our protection from having the government force us to say things against our will. Even convicted killers, when speaking in court before sentencing, are not required to say they are guilty. The government has a right to create, publish and broadcast the strongest anti-smoking campaigns it can come up with, but the cigarette companies make a compelling case in saying that, as long as their product is legal, they should not be forced to print repellent images on their packages. (And -- who knows? -- the federal government, in deciding not to fight the package illustrations battle in the Supreme Court, may be wary of what could happen there. What if the Supreme Court not only ruled against the proposed graphic illustrations -- but additionally, on similar grounds, opened up the question of whether the text-only warning messages on cigarette packs, the ones that have been there since the 1960s, also are an incursion on free speech?) In New York, Bloomberg's heart may be in the right place, but merchants who want to sell cigarettes should be justifiably puzzled: If any product is not legal, then they should be barred from stocking it, but as long as it is, how can anyone presume to tell them where to display it -- or, more to the point, that they can't display it? It all comes down to this: . While well-intentioned attempts to curb smoking may appear bold and decisive, they are in the end timid. The big and most effective step -- outlawing cigarettes on the grounds that they undeniably, in the long run, sicken and kill the people who smoke them, and those around them -- is not going to happen. Politicians would be terrified to do it -- there are an estimated 45 million smokers in the United States, and no one is going to risk alienating them by completely cutting them off from cigarettes. In an already shaky economy, the repercussions from shutting down the tobacco industry -- the jobs suddenly lost -- would be, to put it mildly, highly problematic from a political and real-world standpoint. The memory of Prohibition would undoubtedly be on lawmakers' minds. The government once tried to take from people something they had been accustomed to, something that had been legal: alcohol. The outcome was anything but pretty. If there really were the political will to end cigarette use, there are ways. Each state sets its own laws for the minimum age to purchase cigarettes -- in most states, it's 18. If states decided to raise the age to, say, 80, that would do it. But the chances are zero. Like it or not, the country has painted itself into a corner. Cigarettes kill. They will continue to. If they were a new product, they'd never make it to market. Don't bet against them still being here a century from now.

'Callous': Michelle Christie, pictured after having her head shaved for charity, stole more than £9,000 from her 95-year-old neighbour . A charity fund-raiser offered to help care for a 95-year-old neighbour then stole £9,000 from his life savings. 'Callous' Michelle Christie, 41, who was paid £15 per week to collect Peter MacKinnon's pension and help with odd jobs around his house in Elgin, Scotland, used the elderly man's Post Office card and PIN number to steal from him over a period of six months, a court heard. Christie, who once shaved her head for charity and was well-known in the area for her fundraising efforts, pleaded guilty to stealing from the pensioner at Elgin Sheriff Court yesterday. She admitted stealing a total of £9,100 from the war veteran over several occasions between November 2012 and April 2013. Mr McKinnon's niece, Rosemary Thompson, described the former car mechanic as a 'lovely, quiet, unassuming man' who has worked hard all his life. She said Christie offered to help care for her elderly uncle when he fell ill at the end of last year, but it later emerged that money was disappearing from Mr McKinnon's bank account. Neighbour Amanda Sim, 27, contacted police after she became suspicious of Christie. 'We were all shocked, first of all that she would do that to him, and more so shocked at the substantial amount she took,' Mrs Sim said. 'She was making out she was doing good for Peter, but all along she was stealing his money. 'Peter . still says "I'm just lost for words". He can't believe that someone . would do that, and for the trust to be shattered,' she added. 'Shocked': Christie, 41, seen ahead of the charity head shave, was well known in Elgin for her fund-raising efforts, the court heard . Ms Thompson, who lives in England but visits her uncle in Elgin every few months, said: 'I have never known such a callous human being who makes herself out to be a charitable person whilst at the same time robbing a poor pensioner.' Christie, of Elgin, is due to be sentenced on June 20.

(CNN) -- South Africa becomes the center of global attention Friday as the World Cup, sport's most avidly followed competition, kicks off four weeks of soccer action both on and off the pitch. Thousands of spectators from Africa and around the world are expected to pack the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg for the opening ceremony ahead of the opening match at 4 p.m. (10 a.m. ET) between hosts South Africa -- known as "Bafana Bafana" -- and Mexico. Why the World Cup is sports' biggest occasion . Everyday life will stop for millions of fans around the world -- albeit temporarily -- as they follow the tournament on television, radio and online, including social media networks such as Twitter. CNN teams up with Foursquare for World Cup . Former South African president Nelson Mandela is expected to attend the kickoff, his grandson Nkosi Mandela said Tuesday -- but will not be able to stay for the whole of the match. Mandela, who is 91, played a key role in bringing the World Cup to South Africa but has made limited public appearances recently, although he did meet the South Africa squad last week. Pre-tournament celebrations have included a concert staged in Soweto on Thursday that featured Hugh Masakela and the Black Eyed Peas. The World Cup is arguably the biggest sporting event in the world, with only the Summer Olympics commanding as much global attention. FIFA, soccer's governing body, predicts a cumulative TV audience for the tournament of 26.29 billion viewers. Will you be following the World Cup? Send videos, stories, photos . South Africa 2010 marks the first time that the tournament, which was inaugurated in 1930 and is held every four years, has been staged in Africa. It follows FIFA efforts to take the tournament from soccer's traditional heartlands in Europe and South America to relatively under-developed markets such as the U.S. (1994) and South Korea and Japan (2002). FIFA now boasts more than 200 member states -- more than the United Nations. Argentina, Germany, Brazil and current world champions Italy have each won the current trophy, introduced in 1974, twice. Brazil was allowed to keep the original trophy after winning it for a third time in 1970. How you can sound like a World Cup expert . The finals, which will take in 64 matches and run for a month, are the climax of a three-year qualification campaign, which kicked off in August 2007 when New Caledonia beat Tahiti 1-0.

The son of a man who was reported missing after going for a swim - but later turned up 700 miles away - has been charged with insurance fraud and filing a false report. Jonathan Roth, 22, was arrested on Monday, said Nassau County District Attorney's office. He was also charged with conspiracy to commit insurance fraud. Roth claimed he had nothing to do with the actions of his father, 47-year-old Raymond Roth who allegedly tried to fake his own death. He vanished on July 28 after going into the water at Jones Beach, New York. The unemployed computer engineer was discovered five days later after being stopped for speeding in South Carolina. Wasting police time: Raymond Roth, 47 (right) turned up in South Carolina after going missing from Jones Beach in Long Island. His son Jonathan has been charged with insurance fraud . His son had reported him missing causing a massive air and water search, costing thousands of dollars. Jonathan Roth said yesterday he feared his father was coming to kill him after his stepmother exposed emails she found between the two, detailing a plan to disappear and play dead. Mrs Roth has since filed for divorce and taken a restraining order against her husband. She also said she was afraid for her life after revealing the information and claims her husband is abusive. Mr Roth was accused of wasting police time after his son reported that he drifted out to sea. His shoes, clothes, . wallet and cellphone were all found on Jones Beach. Jonathan Roth said he never received incriminating emails from his father and that there was no way his stepmother could have had access to the computer. He denied being involved in Mr Roth's plan and said he still isn't certain why his father wants to kill him. After Jonathan told . police that his father had disappeared on July 28 during his daily swim at the . Long Island beach, a huge search operation took place that lasted until last Wednesday. It was suspended when Mrs Roth came across suspicious emails between the father and son, sent in the days before his disappearance. Coincidentally, Mr Roth was pulled over by police in Santee, South Carolina for speeding on Thursday morning. Filed for divorce: Mrs Roth said she has no idea where her husband is and has taken out a restraining order . Organized: Raymond Roth left his shoes, wallet, clothing and phone on Jones Beach, Long Island . Mrs Roth says her stepson is lying about his involvement in the disappearance.  According to the emails she discovered, Mr Roth told his son: 'Do Not allow that a**hole to give the house away.' In the alleged emails, dated from . the day before the disappearance, Roth wrote to his son: 'I need to . get to the bank for cash for the trip.' He added: 'about the jewelry we spoke of . yesterday, you need to whisper in [a relative’s] ear about it and do not . worry she will get it,' and, 'tell [another relative] I handed you the . papers -- then you JUST noticed that there was an envelope with [his] . name on it (the last Will and Testemnet [sic]) then hand it to him.' In the emails seen by the New York Post, Mr Roth sent his son three messages within ten minutes on the morning of Friday, July 27. Long way home: Police stopped Roth as he sped . down a highway in Santee, South Carolina, more than 730 miles from the . spot where he went missing . Search and rescue: Raymond Roth, 47, of Massapequa, was reported missing by his 22-year-old son Jonathan . In the first email, Mr Roth instructs his son to call him with an update on Sunday. 'There needs to be a way for me to find out how things are going. Call me Sunday night at 8pm at the resort,' explained Mr Roth. 'You cannot call from your phone,’ the father allegedly warned. 'Go to a pay phone or borrow your friends phone. 'You must call within 15 minutes of the determined call time in order to be sure I will be available.' His wife said during the press conference last week: 'On the day he went to the beach, he told me he was going to his mother’s house. 'I said, ''How long are you going to be? Are you going to be home for dinner?'' 'He said, ''I’ll be home in an hour.''' Three hours later, her stepson Jonathan called to tell her that her husband had not come out of the water and was presumed drowned. Nassau County police confirmed that Jonathan Roth dialled 911 to report his father missing near Jones Beach’s Field 6 where there are no lifeguards. A . neighbor of the family said that he saw Jonathan after his father had been missing for two days and that the man told him, 'My dad’s . gone, my dad’s dead.'

Ambulance arrived within one minute but Adam died in hospital . By . Anna Hodgekiss . PUBLISHED: . 04:53 EST, 26 April 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 09:34 EST, 26 April 2013 . An eight-year-old boy collapsed and died after an asthma attack at a friend's birthday party, an inquest heard. Adam Mark Winfandale, who used two inhalers to manage the illness, was rushed to hospital on June 5, 2011 and was pronounced dead on arrival. He was having fun with pals at a Quasar laser quest event in Chester when he suffered breathing difficulties. An inquest jury at Warrington Town Hall heard yesterday how Adam's mother, Susan Jones, said despite his asthma he was a healthy boy who enjoyed tennis, swimming lessons and doing activities with the Cubs and Scouts. Tragedy: Adam Winfandale collapsed and died after an asthma attack at a friend's birthday party . 'Adam's asthma was very manageable,' she said. 'We had never had a panic moment. I always had a warning with his asthma, as it was always a slow build up.' But on Sunday June 5, Adam left his home at Bryn Celyn, Moss, Wrexham, north Wales, to join his friends at Quasar and died after encountering breathing difficulties. A parent at the party, Janet Ellams, said Miss Jones had explained to her about Adam's asthma and had given his inhaler to her. 'He won't need it, it's just in case,' Miss Jones said. 'He will know when he needs it and how much he can take.' The children arrived at Quasar at 11am and were given a health and safety briefing where Adam was asked about his asthma and if he was fine to play. Staff deemed he was able to play and the game began. Ms Ellams said: 'About 15 minutes in Adam came out and said he needed his inhaler. He seemed quite calm when he came out. He was standing against the wall and wanting to get back into the game.' Miss Jones was called and told Adam had asked for his inhaler and she said her son would know what to do. But Adam said the inhaler was not working and became distressed and agitated. The inquest heard that there may have been some particles in the air at Quasar (pictured) which could have been a contributory factor to Adam's asthma attack . The hearing was told Adam's condition worsened in just a matter of minutes. An ambulance was called and Adam was carried outside for more air. Witnesses said he was rigid and his lips and hands were blue. The ambulance arrived in one minute and Adam was treated immediately en route to the Countess of Chester Hospital. Miss Jones was called and headed straight to the hospital to see her son but Adam was pronounced dead at the hospital at 3.20pm. Adam Salmon, co-owner of Quasar, told the hearing the game Adam was playing usually involved smoke, music and lighting. But on this occasion the liquid smoke machine was not working and had been broken for a couple of weeks. An inquest jury at Warrington Town Hall heard that despite his asthma, Adam was a healthy boy who enjoyed tennis, swimming lessons and Scouts . Mr Salmon said there could have been some particles in the air which could have been a contributory factor to Adam's asthma attack. During the inquest Adam's parents raised concerns about whether Quasar had good health and safety policies in place. But Helen Stott, lead environmental health practitioner for Cheshire West and Chester Council, said Quasar had followed all health and safety rules and complied with all relevant legislation. In the week leading up to the party Adam had been on holiday with Miss Jones in Majorca and had no asthma or breathing troubles. They returned on Saturday, June 4 and Adam was described as being 'very well'. The inquest, before Cheshire assistant deputy coroner Alan Moore, continues.
Adam Mark Winfandale's condition 'was very manageable', said mother . Staff at local laser game centre deemed him fit enough to play . After 15 minutes of playing, Adam came out of game and requested inhaler . But he said it didn't work and within in minutes his condition deteriorated . Ambulance arrived within one minute but Adam died in hospital .

Mother of three Lisa Kaley tried to tell officers she was 'too weak from chemotherapy' to attack anyone . Despite being told her condition meant she would be dealt with as a priority,  she was locked in a cell from 11am until 5.30pm . By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 08:30 EST, 5 November 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 09:30 EST, 5 November 2012 . Nightmare: Cancer sufferer Lisa Kaley was locked in a cell for six and a half hours after she was falsely accused of assault by her ex boyfriend . A cancer sufferer was arrested and locked up in a police cell for six and half hours after her ex partner falsely accused her of assault. Lisa Kaley, a mother of-three, tried to explain to officers that she actually had a five year restraining order against former boyfriend Gary Swann  following a conviction of criminal damage after he tried to break into her home. But police told 39 year old Ms Kaley, from Stanford-le-Hope, in Essex, . there was nothing they could do because the allegation had been made . against her. She was then arrested on suspicion of assault and was taken to Grays Police Station, in Essex, where she was then finger-printed and left alone in a cell for six-and-a-half hours despite claims that she would be dealt with as a priority. After a short interview, she was finally told she was free to go home and no further action would be taken against her. Speaking from her home Ms Kaley said: 'It was a nightmare from start to finish, I was the one who was treated like a criminal - there was simply no need for it at all. 'One look at what I have been through should have been enough for those officers to realise they could have at least approached the matter with some discretion. 'It was all so heavy-handed. 'I am meant to be trying to reduce stress because of my cancer so this was about as bad as it gets. 'They could have used some discretion and perhaps arranged to come and see me - but to be carted off to the police station, leaving my children wondering what was happening to mummy was hard to take. 'I was sitting in the police cell, feeling like I had hit rock bottom and I just felt so helpless and scared.' Ms Kaley claims she ran into the Mr Swann after she dropped her daughter, Georgia, four, off at school and was making her way home through a local park. After an angry exchange, where she claims she was verbally abused, she went into a nearby supermarket where she had a cup of tea and tried to calm down after the upsetting confrontation. But shortly after she got home two police officers arrived at her front door and said she was to be arrested on suspicion of assault. Proof: The paperwork which shows Ms Kaley's partner was under a restraining order (left) and the notification that no further action would be taken against the mother of three (right) She added: 'The police were saying to me, why didn’t you phone us there and then when it happened but I was upset. 'I started to show them all the paperwork, the history of what had happened yet it was like they were on autopilot. 'They were saying to me - ‘we are here to arrest you because an allegation has been made’ - I was getting upset, asking them for some understanding, saying it was simply a malicious allegation.' The two officers explained that because of her illness, Lisa would be dealt with as a 'priority'. Yet despite being placed into a cell at about 11am , it was 5.30pm when she was finally interviewed. Before the cancer: Ms Kaley is currently undergoing chemotherapy for the stage four cancer. The tearful mother explained to officers that her cancer means she can be very weak and the idea of being able to attack anyone was simply 'ludicrous'. Despite a long history of alcohol-fuelled violence against Lisa - including throwing a brick through her window and breaking into her home - it was Lisa who felt like the criminal. When she was finally told she was being released without charge, police made no effort to apologise for what she had been through. She added: 'I am using all my energies to battle the cancer and am undergoing chemotherapy, so to be thrown into a cell was very hard to take in. 'When the police dealt with me at my home and I explained that I had cancer, they just ignored what I was saying - it was like trying to reason with robots.' Lisa was handed a formal letter from police confirming no further action would be taken due to a lack of evidence. An Essex Police spokesman said he was unable to discuss the specific details of the incident. But he added: 'We are sorry to hear this lady feels aggrieved and would invite her to contact our professional standards’ department should she want to complain formally to us. 'We would always hope to treat people with the dignity and care which is appropriate to their position and if they are vulnerable we would hope to treat them very carefully indeed.'

By . Deni Kirkova . PUBLISHED: . 05:42 EST, 14 October 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 08:26 EST, 14 October 2013 . Miranda Krestovnikoff, pictured presenting the BBC's Coast, champions eating roadkill . With a high-profile figure urging us to indulge in eating dead animals off the side of the road, the practice is no longer the taboo it once was. Miranda Krestovnikoff, 40, has said: 'It’s lean, healthy, organic, free, guilt-free and as fresh as fresh can be.' The new president of bird conservation charity RSPB, and long-standing BBC presenter, even cooked roadkill for a recent dinner party. The occasion, to be broadcast tonight, features fried rat carcass picked up from the B3347 near Sopley in the New Forest; and sautéed fox from the Ferndown bypass near Wimborne, Dorset. Badger from the A354 near Salisbury was also served, with chasseur tomato sauce and croutons. After hosting her unusual dinner party for friends she said: 'It would be good to encourage it more widely. 'I don’t see why not. People have a problem with it because the meat has not come from a cellophane wrapper. 'But . if the meat is fresh, there’s no risk of catching anything. It’s lean, . healthy, organic, free, guilt-free and as fresh as fresh can be. 'We need to know what we’re eating and where it is coming from and this allows you to do that. 'It . is a chance to get connected to what you eat. We’re obsessed by sell-by . dates and things like that. But roadkill can be eaten very . hygienically. People are too squeamish,' she said, as reported in the Telegraph. The RSPB's . more than one million members might be surprised to learn . Krestovnikoff, who was announced as their new face just last week, is . championing the eating of British roadkill. The . presenter has told how she wants more people to source their meat not . from a local supermarket or specialist butchers, but rather, from the . roadside. Miranda cooked rat, fox and badger roadkill for dinner party guests - and says we should all indulge . Krestovnikoff, who has appeared on Coast, The One Show and Britain's Big Wildlife Revival, began eating roadkill after spotting a dead pheasant on the roadside near her family home near Bristol. She butchers the meat herself with her husband Nicholas, who runs a publishing company. They make sausages form the offcuts and leave the rest outside for animals to scavenge. They now keep a tarpaulin sheet in their car allowing them to pick up any suitable carcasses that they see. One of the first deer Krestovnikoff recovered was one she spotted while heading home from school with her children. She says while other parents at the school gate thought it was odd, she doesn't 'go looking' for it, but is she sees it she will swoop it up and is happy to feed the meat to her children, aged five and seven, and they are aware of its origins . Other celebrity and famous foodie . advocates include Janet Street-Porter, celebrity chef Hugh . Fearnley-Whittingstall and presenter and farmer Jimmy Doherty. It is legal to eat roadkill, provided the animals have been run over accidentally and the meat is not sold. The Food Standards Agency, though, advises against eating roadkill, saying the animals may not have been healthy when killed and may have been suffering from disease or environmental contamination and if left on the roadside for too long, harmful levels of bacteria, such as salmonella, E. coli and Clostridium botulinum, could grow. Krestovnikoff’s dinner party will be shown on BBC One’s Inside Out tonight at 7.30pm.

Usually a portrait of a little girl might involve a cute dress and a hair bow, but these parents have gone for a quirkier look for the mantlepiece. Their children are dressed as Mother Teresa, . Freda Kahlo and astronaut Ellen Ochoa. They  form part of a photography project . with a worthy mission -- to encourage the next generation of women to . value more than just their looks by posing as women . who have changed history . The initiative, known as the Isis . Project, is the brainchild of photographer Kat Carey and marketing . manager Cassandra Yerdeni from San Antonio in Texas. Pretty in pink: Jackie O and her tiny fan . ‘We want to empower girls to emulate women who’ve made a contribution to society,’ explains 27-year-old co-founder Cassandra, mother to two-year-old Lily. The iconic women picked for the project include Michelle Obama, Freda Khalo, Mother Teresa, Maya Angelou, and Queen Elizabeth. ‘Girls . deserve to feel good about themselves and know that showing some skin . or being “pretty” is not that the only way to be rewarded,’ says Kat, . who is the project’s photographer. ‘There . is nothing wrong with owning your own sexuality or being good-looking, . but women should be praised for more than that,' she tells MailOnline. Mini me: A little girl poses as Mother Teresa for The Isis Project . Frida Kahlo is amongst the most popular female icons requested . ‘We should be praised for our talent, minds, skills, heart and strengths. ‘We want this project to be a form of education -- opening up new role models and great women to look up to,' she adds. The pair hold monthly sessions in their studio in San Antonio and named the series of images the Isis Project, after the Egyptian goddess of rebirth, a symbol of strong femininity. As a single parent, Cassandra says she strives to surround her two-year-old daughter Lily with courageous and passionate role models, and to instill in her a feeling of pride in her femininity. Reach for the stars: A tot dresses up as former astronaut Ellen Ochoa . ‘Through the Isis Project, I hope to recognise the achievements of women throughout history, in a variety of fields, and to inspire girls just like Lily to fly with their own wings,’ she says. Kat, who lives with her husband, Mike, and daughter Sofia, two (pictured here styled as Annie Leibovitz) is equally passionate. ‘We want to achieve so much,’ says the 29-year-old, ‘But at the same time we would honestly happy to achieve as little as empowering one girl to know that her worth is not measured but her looks.’ When I grow up I want to be Queen: A little girl dreams big dressed as Queen Elizabeth I . So how did the creative duo come up with the idea? ‘We were inspired by Austin-based photographer, Jaime Moore’s “Not Just A Girl”, which is collection of five photos of her pre-school aged daughter dressed as real-life female heroines,’ Kat recalls. ‘We both saw it and thought, “We should do this with our daughters.” Then Cassandra said, “We should do this with the entire city!”’ The Isis Project, invites all girls, from babies to 18-year-olds, to participate and pose as a trailblazer. Seeing double: Posing as fashion trailblazer Coco Chanel . The parents and girls decide which heroine they’d like to copy, and so far Frida Kahlo and Michelle Obama have proven the most popular role models. Once the project has turned one later this year, the creative duo intend to exhibit their images to spread their message of substance over sexiness. The Isis Project aims to inspire young girls by posing as successful female heroes like Michelle Obama (above) Malala Yousafza the school pupil from Pakistan who has became a global figure for human rights inspires many a photo . Nineteenth century American figure Sacajawea has become a symbol of women's worth and independence . One little girl hoping to follow in the footsteps if author and poet Maya Angelou .

A young German tourist has died in a hospital in Maui, Hawaii, one week after she lost her right arm in a horrific shark attack. Lana Lutteropp, 20, had been on life support and in 'very critical condition' at Maui Memorial Medical Center since she was pulled from the water last Wednesday by a heroic teacher who heard her screams. 'Jana fought hard to stay alive. However, we are sad to say that she lost her fight today,' her family said in a statement on Wednesday. Lutteropp was snorkeling 100 yards off Palauea Beach in Makena when a shark attacked and bit off her arm. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Globetrotter: German citizen Jana Lutteropp, 20, is on life support after losing her arm in a shark attack while vacationing in Hawaii . 'Jana was a very beautiful, strong, young woman who was always laughing, and we will forever remember her that way,' her family said. California high school teacher Rick Moore, who jumped into the water to save Lutteropp, said the young tourist kept repeating that she was going to die. ‘As soon as we stand on the beach, we heard this blood-curdling scream,’  the 57-year-old of Laguna Niguel, California, said. ‘We look out and there was blood everywhere in the white water around her.’ With the bikini-clad woman's other arm around his neck, Moore backstroked about 100 yards through strong ocean currents. ‘It . dawned on me - I was in danger now,’ he said. ‘The shark is around me . and she's bleeding. I start praying out loud, “God, God protect us.” She . said, “I'm dying. I know I'm going to die."’ ‘About 10 feet from her, I saw her floating on her back, with no arm,’ Moore said. ‘It was completely severed from her body.’ Lutteropp is originally from Zierenberg north of Kassel in western Germany. She was a member of the town's carnival troupe called Grace Berger Dance Guard and had left Germany last summer to work as an au pair in Seattle, Washington. She was in Hawaii for a three-week vacation and was planning to return to Germany September 11, according to her personal blog as well as the HNA.de website that serves the region where her town is located. On her blog, Lutteropp wrote about her experiences working as an au pair for an American family living in Issaquah – a suburb of Seattle. Hero: Rick Moore (left), a 57-year-old gym teacher from California, jumped in the water after hearing Jana (right) screaming and brought her ashore, where he performed CPR until help arrived . The 20-year-old had spent a year caring for her host family’s three boys – 4-year-old twins and their 5-year-old brother. Her last day on the job was August 12, after which the young au pair apparently headed to Hawaii for a vacation. After Moore got Lutteroppto shore, his friend, Nicholas Grisaffi, 61, of Laguna Beach, stood in neck-high water and took the woman from Moore and carried her limp body out of the water. ‘What was left of her shoulder was in my chest,’ said Grisaffi, who teaches homeless fourth- and fifth-graders. ‘I had a pure-white rash guard on’ but there was very little blood on it, an indication of how much blood she lost. The two teachers said they put the woman in a bystander's kayak, using it as a stretcher to bring her up a trail leading to the street. The woman's three friends were in shock as Moore performed CPR. Attack: The victim is understood to have lost an arm after being bitten by the shark in Hawaii . ‘Pretty much everybody was out of . control except me and Rick,’ Grisaffi said. ‘If we're not there, she's . not saved. Nobody did a thing. They just stood there in shock, watching . the blood and everything.’ A . police officer arrived with a tourniquet as the woman was going in and . out of consciousness, Grisaffi said. An ambulance rushed her to Maui . Memorial Medical Center. Joshua Craddock, a 23-year-old from London who was sunbathing on the beach at the time, called 911. He hailed Moore's bravery. ‘He . was pretty heroic and selfless to dive in the water when by this stage . she was surrounded by a pool of blood which we could see form the . shore,’ Craddock said. Moore . and Grisaffi have visited the woman in the hospital and said she was in . stable condition Friday. Authorities have declined to release her name. ‘I just can't get the screaming out of my head,’ Grisaffi said. ‘The arm didn't bother me. At our age, we've seen a lot.’ The ordeal has changed his perspective on the ocean. ‘I won't take risks of going too far out any more,’ he said. Hawaii officials say shark attacks are unusual considering how many people are in the state's waters. Stunning: The young German tourist was snorkelling just 50 yards from Makena beach, Hawaii, when she was attacked . There . have been six shark attacks this year through the end of July, . including three on Maui, according to a state database. There were 11 . shark attacks in the state in 2012. The last time anyone in Hawaii died from a shark attack was in 2004. To . reduce the risk of being injured by a shark attack, state officials . urge people to swim in groups and avoid going in the ocean at dawn and . dusk, when sharks may come closer to shore to feed. But Craddock said he . doubts many people are aware of these warnings. ‘She was a young, fair-haired blond girl on vacation and she clearly had no idea,’ he said.

By . Mark Prigg . PUBLISHED: . 18:14 EST, 16 January 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 19:15 EST, 16 January 2014 . More Americans than ever before believe global warming isn't happening, a new study has found. The Yale Project on Climate Change Communication study found the number has risen to 23 percent, up 7 percentage points since April 2013. The latest survey, taken in November 2013, finds that the majority of Americans — 63 percent — do believe in climate change, and 53 percent are 'somewhat' or 'very' worried about the consequences. Climate change protesters on Capitol Hill: Despite protests, more the number of Americans who do not believe in global warming is rising. 'The great majority of climate scientists have concluded that global warming is happening, mostly human caused and, if left unchecked, will have serious consequences for human societies and the natural world,' the report's authors said. 'Yet, over the years, there has been considerable confusion within the American public about the level of scientific agreement on the subject.' The study, conducted in November, found About two in three Americans (63%) believe global warming is happening. 'Relatively few – only 23 percent – believe it is not,' they said. 'The proportion who believe global warming is real has remained steady since Spring 2013. 'However, the proportion who do not believe global warming is happening has increased 7 percentage points since Spring 2013. 'The proportion of Americans who say they 'don’t know' whether or not global warming is happening has dropped 6 points – from 20 to 14 – since Spring of 2013. The researchers also say Americans believe that even if it exists, global warming is not their problem. 'Over years of research, we have consistently found that, on average, Americans view global warming as a threat distant in space and time – a risk that will affect far away places, other species, or future generations more than people here and now,' the report says. 'We still find this same pattern, in which fewer than half of Americans (38%) believe they personally will be harmed a 'moderate amount' or a 'great deal' by global warming. Thick dark clouds hang over Jakarta: 23% of Americans do not believe global warming is happening, it has been revealed . 'People who prior said don’t know are increasingly saying they don't believe it,' said Anthony Leiserowitz, who led the study. He told Livescience media coverage surrounding the release of the IPCC report in September may be the explanation for the shift. While the report made a strong case for human-caused climate change, the majority of global media coverage focused on the question of whether there has been a "pause" in global warming. 'Media frames can be really important in shaping the way people interpret the news,' he said. The findings divide Americans into six distinct subsets. Sixteen percent are "alarmed," sure global warming is happening and concerned about it. On the opposite end of the spectrum are the "dismissive," who comprise about 15 percent of the public and who almost all see global warming as a conspiracy theory or hoax. Changing either of these two groups' opinions about climate change is nearly impossible, the report found.

By . Mail Foreign Service . PUBLISHED: . 19:58 EST, 13 August 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 02:02 EST, 14 August 2012 . Holidaymakers flying to France and Portugal have been warned of possible disruption because of industrial action. In France, easyJet's pilots are threatening to walk out in a dispute over pay. They plan to take action tomorrow and again on August 17 and 19. The budget airline said it was in discussions with the French pilot union SNPL and hoped that disruption would be minimal as the strikes would involve only French-based crews. Taking off: In France, easyJet's pilots are threatening to walk out in a dispute over pay . However, it advised passengers to check their flight status before heading to the airport. The stoppage in France may include up to 250 staff. If it goes ahead it will affect many easyJet flights in France but not all the airline's flights to and from the country. To increase the impact, the walkout coincides with the busy Assumption Day holiday period in France. A spokesman for the airline said: 'The company regrets that some of its pilots have chosen to move ahead with an industrial action rather than coming back to the negotiations table, particularly in this busy period for holidaymakers. Heading for the exit doors: Pilots are threatening to walk out over a dispute about pay . 'The management remains open to discussion and calls the SNPL union representatives to resume negotiations.' It is not the only imminent threat of industrial action which could impact on British holidaymakers. Staff at Portugal's Oporto and Faro airports are also threatening strike action on August 15 and 17. EasyJet operates more than 600 routes in 30 countries and transported 55million passengers in 2011. France and Portugal are among the most popular destinations during the school holiday period.

Lawyers representing Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have failed in attempts to convince a federal judge to suspend jury selection because of last week's attacks in France. Lawyers representing 21-year-old Tsarnaev had argued on Tuesday that the bloody events in Paris that left 17 dead had once again placed the 2013 marathon bombings 'at the center of a grim global drama.' According to the lawyers, a delay would have allowed some time 'for the extraordinary prejudice flowing from these events - and the comparison of those events to those at issue in this case - to diminish.' Scroll down for video . Appeal: Lawyers representing Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (seen in courtroom sketch from January 5) have failed in attempts to convince a judge to suspend jury selection because of last week's attacks in France . Comparison: The defense had argued that the bloody events in Paris had once again placed the 2013 marathon bombings that killed three and wounded 260 'at the center of a grim global drama' Legal team: Tsarnaev's lawyers, David Bruck, left, Judy Clarke, center, and Miriam Conrad, right, have asked repeatedly to delay the trial and to move it outside Massachusetts . Jury selection for the trial began last week when some 1,350 candidates filled out questionnaires at U.S. District Court in Boston and will continue on Thursday when the first group of 20 jurors is brought in for follow-up questioning, a process known by the Latin phrase 'voir dire.' 'My detailed review of the juror questionnaires in preparation for voir dire has so far confirmed, rather than undermined, my judgment that a fair and impartial jury can and will be chosen to determine the issues in this case,' U.S. District Judge George O'Toole said in a electronic court filing on Wednesday. Lawyers for Tsarnaev had said that potential jurors had been instructed to avoid media reports about their client's case, but were exposed to reports about the massacre in France. 'Almost immediately after the attacks, the press, politicians, and commentators drew parallels between the French attacks and the Boston Marathon bombing,' the lawyers wrote. In the marathon case, authorities say Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, planned and carried out the attack as retaliation for U.S. wars in Muslim countries. Three people were killed and more than 260 were wounded when twin bombs exploded at the finish line on April 15, 2013. Stepped-up security: A Boston police officer and K-9 dog partol outside the federal courthouse in Boston on Monday for the first day of jury selection in the trial of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev . On alert: In the harbor near the courthouse, heavily armed US Coast Guard boats plied the waters . Trail begins: More than 1,350 prospective jurors in the Boston bombing trial were called in to federal court in Boston last week to fill out lengthy juror questionnaires . Tamerlan was killed in a shootout with police days after the bombings. Dzhokhar, 21, could face the death penalty if convicted. In the Paris attacks, which began January 7 on the third day of jury selection in Tsarnaev's trial, two gunmen, brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, burst into the Paris offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, killing 12 people. A total of 17 people were shot dead in a three-day terrorist killing spree, including four hostages inside a kosher deli. The Kouachi brothers and a third gunman, Amedy Coulibaly, were killed by police in two raids. More than 1,350 prospective jurors in the Boston bombing trial were called in to federal court in Boston last week to fill out lengthy juror questionnaires. The judge will begin questioning individual jurors Thursday. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's lawyers have asked repeatedly to delay the trial and to move it outside Massachusetts, where almost everyone seems to know someone connected to the marathon or personally affected by the 2013 bombings. Federal Judge George O'Toole Jr. has rejected the defense requests. Last week, officials in Boston drastically stepped up security measures in light of the attakc sin France. White SUVs from Homeland Security lineed up bumper-to-bumper in front of Boston's federal courthouse Friday while others periodically circled the block. Boston police officers patroled the perimeter on foot, and a dark special operations van was stationed near the entrance. In the harbor nearby, armed US Coast Guard boats plied the waters, and inside the court building officers with dogs roamed the hallways. Bloody Wednesday: A gunman gestures as they return to their car after their attack on the offices of French satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo (seen at rear) in this still image taken from amateur video shot in Paris January 7 . Perpetrators: Said (left) and Cherif Kouachi (right) targeted the magazine after it repeatedly published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, which some Muslims find deeply offensive . Boston police spokesman Michael McCarthy said his department was not aware of any credible threats. Boston's federal courthouse is used to heightened security, most recently in 2013, when notorious gangster James 'Whitey' Bulger was tried, convicted and sentenced there. Law enforcement officials will be keeping a watchful eye on the demonstrators and onlookers the proceedings periodically have drawn, as well as the hundreds of prospective jurors who have been filing in and out of the courthouse complex. They'll likely also be keeping tabs on social media, where Tsarnaev's supporters and bombing conspiracy theorists have been active. The heightened awareness extends to nearby businesses along the rapidly developing waterfront.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's lawyers had argued that the events in Paris had again placed the 2013 marathon bombings 'at the center of a grim global drama' District Judge George O'Toole said on Wednesday that he saw 'no reason a fair and impartial jury can and will be chosen' Jury selection for the trial began last week and will continue on Thursday .

(CNN) -- For some time, sugary soft drinks have been under attack as a major contributor to the obesity epidemic plaguing the nation, if not the world. As a result, sales of regular soft drinks have been dropping. Apparently, sales of diet soft drinks have taken even more of a hit. So it comes as no surprise that Coca-Cola is planning to launch a new ad campaign defending -- and promoting -- its diet soft drinks. The ads are going to focus on the safety of artificial sweeteners, or aspartame, in diet soda. Coca-Cola must believe that some of the fall in sales is due to concerns over the health effects of artificial sweeteners. Here's the thing: There's a lot of science out there, and it's hard to say that aspartame holds much of a health risk. Aspartame was first approved for use in 1981, but it wasn't until 15 years later that health concerns showed up. In 1996, a research paper showed that there had been a recent increase in brain tumors and hypothesized that this might be due to aspartame. Mind you, it didn't prove that was so. But the potential link was all the media needed to go crazy. TV shows, magazine articles, and newspapers all questioned whether the artificial sweetener was safe. Further work using data from the National Cancer Institute showed that the increase in brain tumors really began in 1973, long before aspartame was introduced. Moreover, the increases in incidence of cancer were seen primarily in the elderly, which as a group, was not the major consumer of diet soda. And there's more. A randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial showed that aspartame didn't affect memory, behavior or mood. And a study published in 2006 followed more than 285,000 men and almost 190,000 women and couldn't detect any relationship between aspartame and brain or blood cancer. Some research has shown that drinking artificially sweetened beverages doesn't promote weight loss, or even promotes weight gain. More often than not, this is because people wind up overcompensating for the calorie savings they think they're getting by switching beverages (think of the person who orders dessert as a reward for having diet soda). But in those cases it's not the diet beverage that caused weight gain; it's dieters' behavior. You can even find people who postulate that artificially sweetened beverages trick the brain into wanting more calories. There's really no proof of that. Finally, some will claim that diet drinks will cause the brain to release insulin, which can change your metabolism and make you hungry. That's a bit hard to swallow. That's like saying if you ate sugar-dense food that tasted terrible, it would trick your brain into not releasing insulin. It's the pancreas that releases insulin anyway, not the brain. The bottom line is that artificially sweetened beverages are safe. That doesn't mean you should drink tons of them. My wife and I limit our kids' consumption of soda to caffeine-free, diet types. But we don't let our children drink them every day. We stress moderation in everything. The fact that Coca-Cola and other companies are seeing sales drop across the board is likely to create a backlash against artificial beverages in general. It's hard to get too upset about that, since our consumption of them was likely too high to begin with. But we shouldn't make the perfect the enemy of the good. Given a choice between a sugared soda and a sugar-free soda, I'd rather see my kids choose the latter every time. There's an abundance of evidence that the sugar is contributing to health problems; there's not much conclusive evidence that artificial sweeteners in diet sodas are doing the same. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Aaron Carroll.
Coco-Cola is launching a new ad campaign to defend artificial sweeteners in diet soda . Aaron Carroll: It's no surprise, since sales of diet soda is dropping more than regular soda . He says there's little evidence to support the idea that artificial sweeteners pose health risk . Carroll: Given a choice, it's still better to choose sugar-free soda over sugared soda .

Friends of a holiday rep apparently behind controversial Magaluf Carnage events have revealed he's a 'rich kid who couldn't make friends' as he brags on Facebook about his 'easy' life in 'sl** city'. Gary Maskell from Bognor Regis even joked about revelations an 18-year-old girl was filmed performing 24 sex acts on men at one of the events last month. But former school friends of the bar crawl’s assistant manager, who uses the Internet to post pictures of himself with celebrities, has revealed he is a ‘rich kid who couldn’t make friends at school’.

Gary Maskell, here pictured with a tiger, continually boasts online about the amount of cash he makes . Maskell with his topless friends before a night out inhaling what he claims is nitrous oxide balloons . The 21-year-old has uploaded photos of wads of cash boasting: ‘Few days graft ;) #easy’ and his latest tweet: ‘What’s 50 grand to a f****r like me…Please remind me!!’ One former student from Felpham Community College in Bognor Regis, West Sussex, said Maskell was desperate to be popular and used bullying as a way of fitting in. ‘He was always boasting about all the stuff he had at home so obviously hasn't changed,’ they told the Daily Star. ‘People would largely laugh at him. Any decent person would be embarrassed to go around like him. Maskell brags about his 'easy' earnings, on Instagram stating it was a 'few days graft ;)' Maskell pictured 'tearing up Carnage' with White Dee from Channel 4's Benefits Street in Magaluf .

Maskell with one of his celebrity friends - Tom Pearce from The Only Way is Essex at a Carnage Pool Party . With another TOWIE star, this time Elliot Wright attends the Carnage Pool Party ahead of a Magaluf bar crawl . ‘I certainly wouldn't be boasting if I hadn't worked for the things I had. Everything he's ever had has been given to him. He's a child.’ But Maskell has defended the claims and told the MailOnline the comments by former school friends are false. He said: 'I have made all my money myself. I've been abroad since I was 18 and have worked 24/7 to get where I am now. 'I am an extremely hard working person hence why I have money and can flash about.' He has posted photos on social media sites of himself with celebrities from The Only Way Is Essex and Geordie Shore star’s Marnie Simpson and Jay Gardener – who was at the Carnage event when the shocking sex acts took place. But Maskell posted on his Twitter account at the time the video of the teenager on a Carnage event was leaked: ‘F*****g howling at the Carnage video going around! Carnage all over and we f*****g love it #teamCarnage #s**gcity.’ Just last week he threatened his Facebook followers that if he caught other ticket touts selling for rival bars: ‘I will not politely tell you to get out, I will drag you down the back of the hotel and smash your face in’. The 21-year-old used his social media sites to brag about his lifestyle, which includes driving round in an Audi .

He is also seen on his Instagram enjoying himself at the resort with ‘White Dee’, who rose to fame after starring in Channel 4’s Benefits Street, as well as cuddling tigers and trekking with elephants. However, Maskell faces losing the job funding his current lifestyle after council officials in Magaluf ordered the closure of Playhouse bar, where the shocking video was filmed, and the Carnage company. Last week he threatened his Facebook followers if he caught other ticket touts selling for rival bars . A series of posts by Gary 'Gazza' Maskell where he complains about losing a new iPad after two days . The 21-year-old's job could be in jeopardy after the Carnage company was told to close for 12 months .

Supporters of MMA fighter Jon Koppenhaver who is alleged to have beaten up his ex-girlfriend and porn star Christy Mack have shared a photograph of her out in Las Vegas in an attempt to discredit her claims of assault. The image of Mack was shared via Twitter on Sunday by user @Grenade_112 who accompanied alongside the picture that the porn star was ‘good enough to go partying a couple nights ago’ and claimed the image showed her outside a club. The original source of the image was taken by another Twitter user, who is not part of the ‘Free War Machine’ group. Out: Christy Mack, who was allegedly beaten by her ex-boyfriend, Jon Koppenhaver, was pictured in Las Vegas . Together: Mack (left) has defended the photograph, claiming she was just getting some ice cream . Mack, responded to @Grenade_112 to confirm that the picture was her just getting some ice cream, adding: ‘I’m not sure that picking up food in our sweat pants is “a night on the town”.’ ‘You can see the damage to my face even in the dark. And I can’t drive myself,’ she wrote. ‘I get out about once a day for a little bit. It’s depressing staying in 1 room sleeping all day.’ Koppenhaver who is also known as ‘War Machine’ is accused of leaving Mack in hospital with brutal injuries - including multiple broken bones around her face - after savagedly beating the porn star in her apartment on August 8. Injuries: After the alleged attack at her apartment on August 8, Mack posted pictures of her horrific injuries online; after she shared the images, police put out a warrant for Koppenhaver aka War Machine's arrest .

(CNN) -- A legal chapter closes now that a federal judge has lifted an injunction on Arizona's "show me your papers" provision of its tough immigration law, but the legal combat won't end and will merely take a new direction, analysts and attorneys say. At the same time, implementation of the law will heighten a wary relationship between police who must enforce the law and Latinos who allege it will inevitably cause racial profiling. The court's demand for evidence of such profiling is prompting Latino advocates to police the police and monitor arrest practices. The controversial provision authorizes local police, while performing other state law enforcement duties, to check on the immigration status of people they stop for another reason. The federal judge in Arizona this week based her decision on a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling upholding the provision, she said. Undocumented immigrants face arrest as they proclaim, 'No papers, no fear' Police monitoring and a public awareness campaign have already begun in the state's Hispanic communities, who make up most of the state's immigrants, advocates say. "We're already doing it," said Isabel Garcia, co-chair of the Coalicion de Derechos Humanos, a civil and human rights group in Tucson that opposes the law. "We formed a 'Yo Soy Testigo' -- 'I Am a Witness' -- hot line. We're getting so many calls now it's unbelievable," Garcia said. In the meantime, the stage is set for continued fighting between the state and federal governments over the administration of the law, as the Department of Homeland Security reiterated this week that it will only respond to immigration enforcement requests in priority cases, such as those involving convicted criminals. Additional legal wrangling could arise from executing U.S. District Judge Susan R. Bolton's ruling to terminate the injunction. Both sides have 10 days to agree on the wording of the order to lift the injunction, but they may disagree on how the provision should be carried out, said Thomas Saenz, president and general counsel of the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, or MALDEF, a party in the case that is challenging the law. MALDEF and co-counsels in the case have yet to decide whether to appeal the judge's ruling, Saenz said. Saenz is expecting a long legal slog, he said. "There will certainly be other chapters," Saenz said. "There will definitely be additional court skirmishes before Section 2b -- the show-your-papers provision -- takes effect. This is not a dead issue because of the possibility of appeal," Saenz said. Proving racial profiling is difficult, Saenz said. In a separate Arizona case, MALDEF and the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona are now waiting for a federal judge's ruling after a trial of their class-action lawsuit against the Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his department, both of whom are accused of racial profiling and discrimination against Latinos. Arpaio denies any discrimination. Immigration lawsuit revives DREAM Act debate . "What Arpaio is doing sort of previews what will likely happen statewide if the show-your-papers provision is implemented," Saenz said. Meanwhile, the number of federal immigration checks sought by local Arizona police continues to show an overall downward trend as it has for the past three years, said spokeswoman Amber Cargile of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Phoenix. ICE responds only to local police calls deemed in line with federal priorities, which are cases involving criminal aliens, threats to public safety, recent border crossers and illegal immigrants who have entered the country a second time, Cargile said. In June, 61 calls from local police agencies resulted in the arrest of 151 people on immigration violations; there were 35 calls and 86 arrests in July and 41 calls and 65 arrests in August, Cargile said. "We are seeing a continued downward trend in numbers," Cargile said. "This is consistent across the board over the past three years. Our drop house encounters in Phoenix are down considerably, and Border Patrol apprehensions—a key indicator of illegal immigration—have decreased significantly as well." Once the injunction is officially lifted, the government of Arizona will have to decide when to begin enforcing the provision, said Doris Meissner, a senior fellow at the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank in Washington. Arizona could choose to wait a period before implementing the provision to provide training or other guidance to its law enforcement, she said. Barring a call by opponents for an emergency ruling to maintain the injunction, it is just a matter of time before it goes into effect. Once it does, Meissner said, the strategy used by opponents of the law is expected to change. From the moment it begins to be enforced, opponents will be focused on monitoring its implementation, she said. That's where the next challenge is expected to come. In short, what Bolton's ruling said was that, given the Supreme Court ruling, the provision cannot be blocked on the speculation that it is discriminatory. There has to be evidence of racial profiling for the law to be blocked. "You can't do it in the abstract. You need a person, or persons, who believe they have been discriminated against," Meissner said. Judge weighs Arizona immigration law . But those kinds of cases aren't easy to win, said Marshall Fitz, director of immigration policy at the Center for American Progress, a liberal public policy think tank. Trying to prove racial profiling in court can turn into a he-said, she-said affair between alleged victims and police, he said. "There's a story to tell, and a counternarrative that police officers will tell," Fitz said. "It's not impossible, but I think any litigator will tell you it is a steep hill to climb." Implementation of the "show me your papers" provision will set off a potential multi-year process of litigators and activists collecting evidence to convince a court that systemic racial profiling exists. After this week's ruling, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer denied the law would discriminate. "As I have said consistently, it is not enough that this law be enforced. It must be enforced efficiently, effectively and in harmony with the Constitution and civil rights. I have no doubt Arizona's law enforcement officers are up for the task ahead," she said. The law that supporters envisioned, however, may not produce the results they wanted, even in enforcement. The Obama administration has a policy to remove only certain groups of undocumented immigrants, such as convicted criminals. Even if Arizona police requests overwhelm ICE, the agency will not respond unless the subject meets its criteria, said Cargile. "As we've previously emphasized, Department of Homeland Security officials in Arizona have been directed not to respond to requests from state and local police officers for assistance in enforcing immigration laws unless the individual or individuals in question meet DHS' enforcement priorities," she said. The department will continue to verify a person's immigration status upon request, however. Driver's license rules fuel new immigration debate .

Daniel Confino was thrown off the Eurostar after asking for an extra tea bag . He is the financial expert who saved the Eurotunnel project two decades ago when it looked sure to fail. But when Daniel Confino took the Eurostar earlier this month he was unceremoniously thrown off the train – because he asked for an extra tea bag. Mr Confino, 56, protested when staff tried to charge him £2.20 to strengthen two cups of tea he had ordered with an extra bag of Duchy Organic. After a brief argument, he left the drinks and refused to pay – only to be dragged from a carriage by two police officers and bundled off the train at a station in the middle of the Kent countryside. Mr Confino said the case summed up ‘the death of simple common sense and the triumph of bully-boy incompetence’. The father of four is now considering legal action, arguing that he suffered ‘degrading treatment, mental distress and anxiety’. ‘Any right-thinking person would have been outraged. To charge £2.20 for an extra tea bag was sheer spite,’ he said. ‘When I have a builder’s tea I like a proper stand-up job. The chef de train was French, or possibly Belgian. What do they understand about tea?’ In 1993 Mr Confino, from Brockley, South-East London, was working at the bank Hill Samuel when he was commissioned by the Department for Transport to advise on the Eurotunnel project. It had exceeded projected costs and looked doomed. But Mr Confino and his team secured a deal with the banks that kept it going. On Saturday a fortnight ago, Mr Confino took the Eurostar from Paris to St Pancras with a colleague after attending a conference. When he went to the buffet car to buy two teas he asked for two large cups, costing £2.20 each, but noticed they were the same as the smaller size, with just a little extra water. The medium-sized ones were 20p cheaper. Mr Confino protested when staff tried to charge him £2.20 to strengthen two cups of tea he had ordered with an extra bag of Duchy Organic . He asked for an extra tea bag that he could dip in each cup but was allegedly told by a member of staff that she ‘didn’t have authority’ to allow this. He asked to see a superior, but when she arrived she said he would have to pay another £2.20 for the extra bag. Mr Confino then demanded to speak to the chef de train, the senior staff member responsible for all passengers. But she too said he would have to pay £2.20 extra. ‘This was patently ridiculous,’ Mr Confino said. ‘My two large insipid “French style” teas – minus the extra tea bag – stood on the counter cooling and when I went to pay they put £6.60 in the card machine. They were being provocative.’ He refused to pay and walked off with the two cups and the extra bag, but staff threatened to call police and he returned the lot. He had not drunk any tea or removed the extra bag from its packet. Mr Confino was dragged from a Eurostar carriage by two police officers after refusing to pay for the tea; he said the case was an example of 'the death of simple common sense' He then tried to take just the two teas but when the staff again said they would call police, he mouthed that they were ‘idiotic bitches’ and left the cups with them. Later, he was in the toilet when there was a banging on the door. ‘I emerged to be confronted by two officers in high vis jackets, referring to me as “fella” and saying “you’re coming off the train”,’ he said. ‘They literally bundled me off. I had to resist strenuously, both verbally and physically, just to retrieve my bags. The train had made a special stop at Ebbsfleet and the whole theatrical performance meant everyone was looking. I was accused of stealing a tea bag. I was worried I would be spending the night in the cells.’ He said that when he explained his side of the story, the officers apologised and got him a free ticket to London. ‘They even offered to get me a cup of strong tea.’ Last night a spokesman for Eurostar apologised, saying: ‘We appreciate that Mr Confino made a simple request for a tea bag and it’s unfortunate that the situation escalated.’ The spokesman said, however, that staff had felt ‘threatened’ by the argument.

By . Wills Robinson . Sinead Dewar, 25, was jailed after a vicious attack which left Jessica Moran, 34, with multiple head injuries after attacking her with a stiletto heel . A strip club dancer who stamped on a colleague’s face with her 6in stiletto heel after arguing over a glass of wine has been jailed. Sinead Dewar, 25, left 34-year-old Jessica Moran in 'continual pain' from her injuries after punching her five times in the face at Room 32 in Preston, Lancashire. She then repeatedly kicked and stamped on the victim's head as she tried to crawl away. Preston Crown Court heard that Ms Moran suffered a fractured cheekbone and eye socket following the attack in the dancers’ changing area of the club. Dewar launched the 'sustained attack' after Ms Moran, who was working her first shift at the venue, confronted her about a glass of wine she claimed was taken before she finished drinking it. The court heard that the argument broke out in the customer area of the bar on June 28 last year. The head dancer stepped in and said they should sort things out away from the customers. Downstairs in the changing area, Dewar launched the vicious attack with a 6in pair of cream stiletto heels. Ms Moran, who has been forced to leave her job since the attack, now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as nightmares and anxiety attacks. Jailing Dewar, Judge Niclas Parry said: 'You used persistent and repeated violence using a very dangerous form of footwear. 'She asked if you had taken her glass of wine and an argument flared up. You punched her in the nose and, having been shaken by that, you punched her again, causing her nose to bleed. Dewar, pictured arriving at Preston Crown Court, punched Ms Moran in the face five times before repeatedly kicking her and stamping on her head . The 'sustained' attack took place at Room 32 in Preston, Lancashire, after a row erupted over a glass of wine . 'You threw four or five punches and you gripped her by the neck as you punched her in the face. 'You proceeded to kick and stamp on her several times. With the heel, you stamped on her head many, many times. 'She . tried to crawl away and you stamped on the back of her legs. You used . your foot and for the most part a very large stiletto heel.' He added: 'Her left eye was completely closed up from the abrasions. It took four days before she could open it. 'She . cried through the night and she was terrified that in the morning her . infant son would wake to see the state you had left her in. Dewar cried in the dock at Preston Crown Court as she was jailed for 16 months . 'Her son saw her the the following day and saw her face which was injured by you. 'Once a bubbly person, she now suffers flashbacks and anxiety attacks. She suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and struggles sleeping.' Sarah Johnston, prosecuting, told the court that the attack on Ms Moran, who now has a constant shadow in her left eye, has also impacted upon Ms Moran’s family and her social life. Dewar, who suffers from Asperger syndrome, denied the offence but was convicted by a jury of causing actual bodily harm in March this year. Dewar, from Blackpool, Lancashire, cried in the dock as she was jailed for 16 months.

Two antique ships are set to be repainted with special 'dazzle' camouflage as part of an art project marking the 100th anniversary of the First World War. Modern artists are designing a unique pattern for the vessels, which are currently docked in London and Liverpool after being taken out of active service. The initiative is part of a series of projects announced yesterday which will commemorate the centenary of the conflict's outbreak in 1914. Camouflage: HMS Kildangan painted with a dazzle design in 1918 in order to disguise it from the enemy . Project: The Edmund Gardner, a pilot cutter now in dry dock in Liverpool, will be repainted in dazzle . Art: HMS President, moored on the Thames in London, will also be repainted . The dazzle ships are based on the paint used to disguise British and American warships during the Second World War. They were decorated with black and white jagged lines in a bid to make it more difficult for the enemy to work out their exact position and the direction they were travelling. The Edmund Gardner, a pilot cutter now in dry dock in Liverpool, will be repainted by Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez and unveiled in June this year. Another artist yet to be announced will paint the HMS President, which is moored on the Thames near the Victoria Embankment in London. Historic: HMS Argus, an aircraft carrier, was one of the many ships painted in dazzle in order to make it harder for the Germans to determine their speed and direction of travel . Inspiration: Steamship Lake Capens, built in 1918 in Wisconsin, was painted in a dazzle pattern . Dazzle camouflage, used during the First World War, was an example of the collaboration of art with national defence. Inspired by cubist and vorticist artworks, painter Norman Wilkinson proposed painting ships with jagged stripes and lines in a bid to cut down on the number lost to the Germans. Although the camouflage did not actually disguise the ships, it distorted their shape when seen from far away. This made it harder for the Germans to work out how fast they were sailing and in which direction, reducing the accuracy of their guns. A total of 2,000 ships from the Royal Navy and the U.S. fleet were repainted in a dazzle design in 1917 and 1918, with each one being unique so the Germans could not identify classes of ship by their markings. The camouflage fell out of favour by the 1940s, because it was rendered useless by the introduction of radar. The President was previously painted in dazzle camouflage during the First World War, when it was deployed as a submarine hunter tracking down German U-boats. 14-18 NOW, the charity responsible for the project, said: 'These eye-catching additions to the dockside scenery remind local people and visitors of the crucial role ships played in the country’s wartime survival.' Dazzle camouflage was originally inspired by modernist artworks, making it a poignant choice for the national art project. The camouflaged ships would have been an everday site during the First World War, when they were docked around Britain in between missions. Other initiatives announced yesterday include a letter-writing project and an hour's darkness across the UK on the night of the centenary. The Lights Out project is inspired by then foreign secretary Sir Edward Grey’s remark at the outbreak of the war that: ‘The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.’ People will be asked to turn off their lights and replace them with either a candle or a specially commissioned digital light which will be available to download for free. Unique: Each dazzle pattern was different and no two ships looked the same; the Jan Beydell is pictured in 1919 carrying Field Marshal Haig . A commemorative late-night prom at the Royal Albert Hall will see German composer Torsten Rasch and the Philharmonia Orchestra perform a 40-minute work featuring verse by writers including Robert Frost, Edward Thomas and Rupert Brooke. Members of the public have been invited to write a 'letter to an unknown soldier', inspired by a statue at Paddington station of a serviceman reading a letter. Project director Jenny Waldman said: 'We are commissioning some of the world's leading artists to respond to the events of the First World War and the wider social political, cultural and scientific developments of the period. 'I am particularly delighted about the way artists have responded to the brief and the wonderful enthusiasm our cultural organisations have shown in their support for the programme.'
Ships docked in Liverpool and London will be repainted with the design used during the First World War to hide them from the Germans . The technique was inspired by modernist artworks . A series of artistic projects are planned to mark the 100th anniversary of war .

(CNN) -- With the two sides unable to come to contract terms, the NFL locked out its referees before the preseason began. Here are some of the issues that are on the table between the NFL, its 32 owners and the 121 officials. PAY . The money to pay officials comes from a pot of $18 million funded by the league. The NFL wants an increase in the average salary for officials, who are part-time employees, from $149,000 to $189,000 by 2018. Referees (the head officials) and officials who qualify for postseason games would make more, the league said. The raises each year would fall between 5% and 11%, the league said. The officials have asked for more, but have not publicly disclosed how much. They say the league, which has revenues of more than $9 billion per year, can afford it. NFL: Packers should have won . RETIREMENT PLAN . The league wants to switch from a pension plan to a 401k plan. The league said in a July statement: "No game official will lose any vested pension benefit under our proposal and the clubs will fully fund all pension obligations." But the executive director of the referees association said in an open letter to the media last week that plan would transfer long-term investment risk to the officials and would cut the league's financial obligation by 60%. Tim Millis said 18 of the league's teams have some form of defined-benefit program rather than a 401k system. The league said their plan will give the officials a larger retirement benefit. The officials have proposed that only new hires be moved to the 401k plan. SI: NFL Holds firm in negotiations . MORE RESERVE CREWS . According to Peter King of Sports Illustrated the league would like to add three crews of seven people in reserve with the option to use these referees to replace underperforming officials. That would add 21 officials to the pool and officials fear it would affect their job security. Referees are only paid for games worked, so anyone who was "benched" would lose pay. Chorus for NFL referees grows . FULL-TIME OFFICIALS . Right now each official works a full-time job and refs in his free time. Officials also have to watch game tape, file reports to the league office and take a weekly written test on the rules. One veteran referee told ESPN that all that, coupled with keeping in shape, takes 30 hours a week. The league wants to hire seven full-time officials and have them handle training and scouting. The officials' association has said it would OK with that, if the referees were paid a fair amount. Photos: Blown calls in sports history .

Washington (CNN) -- The U.S. Senate voted on Thursday to overcome a Republican-led filibuster against tougher gun laws, clearing the way for a major congressional debate on a package of proposals sought by President Barack Obama in the aftermath of the Connecticut school massacre. The procedural vote followed a breakthrough by Sens. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, and Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, who reached a compromise on broadening background checks to include private purchases at gun shows and on the Internet. Because of the bipartisan deal, Senate Democrats backing the legislation received support from enough Republicans to approve the cloture motion, 68-31, setting up debate on the proposals and amendments expected to last for two weeks. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, pledged after the key vote to let both sides offer amendments. But he insisted they include an updated ban on semiautomatic firearms modeled after military assault weapons and a limit on ammunition magazines to 10 rounds. Why we're still debating guns . Both proposals were part of Obama's desired legislation, but were dropped from the package brought to the Senate because they would have prevented Democrats from overcoming the GOP filibuster. While just a procedural vote, the Senate action represented a major step for Obama and Democrats in ensuring public votes on the most significant gun legislation to reach the Senate floor in almost two decades. The powerful firearms lobby led by the National Rifle Association opposes the gun-control package and made clear it will seek political retribution on any legislator that supports it. This included Thursday's vote on launching debate. Despite the agreement forged by Manchin and Toomey, both rated as strong supporters of gun rights by the NRA, the prospects for significant gun legislation to win congressional approval remained uncertain. Any measure passed would then go to the Republican-led House, where GOP leaders have indicated resistance to the kind of proposals sought by Obama. On Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner stopped short of promising his chamber would vote on gun legislation, saying he first has to see what gets sent over from the Senate. "I fully expect that the House will act in some way, shape or form," Boehner told reporters. "But to make a blanket commitment without knowing what the underlying bill is, I think would be irresponsible on my part. The Senate has to produce a bill, and I've made clear, if they produce a bill, we will review it and take it from there." The NRA clearly rejected the proposed legislation so far, with Chris Cox, who heads the group's institute for legislative action, saying in a letter to the Senate that it "would unfairly infringe upon the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners" and that the group "unequivocally opposed" it. The lives shattered by bullets . Cox's letter called the compromise by Manchin and Toomey "misguided" and added that Thursday's procedural vote would be included in its assessment of legislators that serves as political ammunition in election campaigns. Two Senate Democrats from pro-gun states up for re-election next year -- Mark Begich of Alaska and Mark Pryor of Arkansas -- voted with 29 Republicans attempting to filibuster the legislation. Sixteen Republicans joined 52 Democrats and Independents in supporting a floor debate. White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters that Obama called relatives of Newtown, Connecticut, shooting victims who were in Washington for the vote to thank them for their efforts to pressure Congress to take up the gun proposals. An earlier statement by more than 30 relatives of the 20 first graders and six educators killed in the massacre last December criticized senators for their attempted filibuster, saying they "should be ashamed of their attempt to silence efforts to prevent the next American tragedy." In an emotional scene Wednesday, Manchin choked up while meeting with some of the Newtown residents who praised him for political courage in taking on the NRA. "You give me more legislative strength than you know," Manchin said at one point. He later was unable to speak and reached for a tissue when asked by a reporter how the Newtown families affected his role in the negotiations with Toomey and others. Before the play date, the gun talk . Following the Newtown shootings by a lone gunman, Obama called for a series of proposals including "universal" background checks on all gun purchases. Currently, the federal law requiring background checks covers licensed firearms dealers, with private sales excluded. Fierce opposition by the NRA and its allies in Congress -- mostly conservative Republicans but also some Democrats from gun-friendly states -- made clear that the universal checks sought by Obama had no chance of passing, leading to efforts by Manchin, Toomey and others to work out a compromise. In announcing the compromise on Wednesday, Manchin noted the proposal meant that firearms buyers at gun shows would face the same background check currently required in sales by federally licensed gun dealers. In addition, it would close a loophole that exempts intrastate gun sales on the Internet from requiring a background check, he said. Addressing concerns of the NRA that expanding background checks would burden law-abiding gun owners seeking to trade or gift weapons in a personal transfer, Manchin declared that "personal transfers are not touched whatsoever." Another provision would recognize the legitimacy of concealed weapons permits across state lines. The Manchin-Toomey compromise also would require states and the federal government to provide records on criminals and the "violently mentally ill" to the national background check system, addressing a criticism by the NRA and other opponents of gun laws that the existing system lacks substantive information. Michelle Obama makes emotional entrance into gun debate . In addition, the plan calls for a new National Commission on Mass Violence to report in six months on "all aspects of the problem, including guns, school safety, mental health, and violent media or video games." The NRA contends that an expanded background check system would create a paper trail that could eventually be used to build a national gun registry, which they reject as unconstitutional. It also argues that an expanded system would prove a burden to law-abiding gun owners while doing nothing to stop criminals from getting hold of firearms. According to a summary of the compromise proposal, it includes language that prohibits creation of a national gun registry or misusing information from background checks. The NRA said rejection of the universal checks sought by Obama was "a positive development," and it called for "serious and meaningful solutions" to gun violence instead of "blaming law-abiding gun owners for the acts of psychopathic murderers." Why is this so hard? The disconnect on background checks . Meanwhile, Obama said there were aspects of the Manchin-Toomey compromise that he would like to see strengthened. "But the agreement does represent welcome and significant bipartisan progress. It recognizes that there are good people on both sides of this issue, and we don't have to agree on everything to know that we've got to do something to stem the tide of gun violence," the president said in a statement Wednesday. "Congress needs to finish the job," Obama added, saying he would continue "asking the American people to stand up and raise their voices because these measures deserve a vote." Other reaction ranged from cautious support to angry rejection. The Brady Campaign, named after the former White House press secretary wounded in an assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, called the compromise a "good step forward," while New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo described it as "better than nothing" but a sellout to the gun lobby. "This is a Congress that is captive of the extremists and there is no clearer proof of that than this," Cuomo said on the "Capitol Pressroom" radio show, adding that the compromise meant "we are not talking about a significant package of gun control anymore." Should anyone be able to buy guns? Share your views . Obama has made gun measures a major focus of his second-term agenda, holding events across the country to push for Congress to vote on the package. Opinion: Why the NRA fights background checks . A new national survey showed that 86% of Americans support some expansion of background checks. At the same time, the CNN/ORC International poll released Wednesday also showed a majority of respondents fear that increased background checks would lead to a federal registry of gun owners that could allow the government to take away legally owned weapons. Failing to pass new gun laws would be a stinging defeat for Obama and Democrats. However, a public perception that Republicans blocked popular proposals, such as expanding background checks, could harm GOP prospects in 2014 and 2016 among moderates they need in their corner to have any chance of countering strong support for Democrats by minority demographics such as Hispanic Americans, African Americans and the gay-lesbian vote. The Senate Judiciary Committee passed a package of gun laws proposed by Obama after the Newtown attack by a lone gunman. Proposals in the committee's package included expanding background checks on gun buyers, toughening laws against gun trafficking and straw purchases, banning semiautomatic rifles modeled after military assault weapons as well as large-capacity ammunition magazines, and coming up with ideas for improving school safety. Reid dropped the weapons ban, which would update a similar 1994 law that expired a decade later, saying it lacked enough support to overcome a filibuster. Background checks on gun sales: How do they work? Some states already have passed stricter gun laws similar to the federal proposals since the Newtown shootings. They include Connecticut, where the killings occurred, and Colorado, the site of two other notorious mass shootings that contributed to a renewed gun debate in America. The current background check system was created in 1989. It requires federally approved gun dealers to check whether gun buyers have a criminal background or other problem to make them ineligible to purchase a firearm. Under the system, the gun dealer maintains a record of the transaction, but the federal government keeps no such identifying paperwork. According to a Justice Department report, less than 2% of those seeking to purchase firearms were denied because of background checks from 1998 through 2009. Opponents cite that figure as evidence that the system fails to stop illegal weapons sales that the legislation seeks to target, while supporters say the result shows the system keeps some guns out of the hands of the wrong people and the system should be expanded and strengthened. For Gabby Giffords, a wounded life has a new purpose . CNN's Dana Bash, Ted Barrett, Paul Steinhauser, Ashley Killough and Todd Sperry contributed to this report.

World leaders at the G20 summit have agreed to a series of measures aimed at boosting the global economy by more than $2 trillion. The plans, if they're fully put into action, would lift the combined gross domestic product of G20 nations by an extra 2.1% by 2018, a communique from the summit said on Sunday. "We can do more for our people and the wider world when we work together," Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who hosted the summit, told journalists. The G20 is a group of the biggest advanced and emerging economies on the planet, accounting for two-thirds of the world's population, 85% of global gross domestic product. 'Millions of jobs' The action plan from the summit, held this weekend in the city of Brisbane, contains more than 800 separate reform measures, Abbott said. The strategies include "major investment initiatives, including actions to strengthen public investment and improve our domestic investment and financing climate," according to the communique. But international leaders agreeing to do something is one thing, actually putting it into action is another. "We will do everything we humanly can to make them happen," Abbott said of the measures, which are specific to each member country. The International Monetary Fund and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development "will be regularly reviewing our progress to achieving these measures to keep us accountable," he said. If all of it is successfully put into practice, the overall package will "add more than $2 trillion to the global economy and create millions of jobs," the communique said. Climate change commitment . The statement also voiced support for "strong and effective action to address climate change." G20 members said they agreed to work to successfully adopt a measure "with legal force" under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The deadline is a major conference in Paris next year. That commitment follows the historic climate change deal announced last week by the United States and China, the world's two largest emitters of greenhouse gases. "There was a lot of pressure here in Brisbane that the G20 follow through, continue the momentum about climate change," said CNN's Andrew Stevens. Under the U.S.-China agreement, the United States would cut its 2005 level of carbon emissions by 26-28% before the year 2025. China would peak its carbon emissions by 2030 and will also aim to get 20% of its energy from zero-carbon emission sources by the same year. Obama: Success . President Obama who spoke to journalists after Abbott, commended the summit for its work but also took the opportunity to wrap up his entire trip to Asia with a few words of self-praise. "From trade to climate change to the fight against Ebola, this was a strong week for American leadership, the result will be more jobs for the American people, historic steps towards a cleaner and healthier planet, and progress towards saving lives not just in West Africa but eventually in other places," he said. "If you ask me I'd say that's a pretty good week." The trip contrasts with the political reality Obama faces in Washington, after his party suffered heavily in the midterm elections this month. Obama said of his Asian trip that he planned to "build on that momentum" after his return to Washington.

London (CNN) -- A 26-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the weekend vandalism of a painting by famed artist Mark Rothko at a London museum, London's Metropolitan Police announced late Monday. The man was arrested in Worthing, on the southern coast of England, and will be brought to London on suspicion of criminal damage, a police statement said. The man was not named. The painting -- part of Rothko's Seagram mural series -- was hanging at London's Tate Modern museum when a man began tagging the canvas with black paint Sunday afternoon. Museum-goer Tim Wright, who witnessed the defacement and posted an image of it on Twitter, told CNN he noticed a man walk into the exhibit and thought nothing of it until he heard a "smashing sound." "It was very surreal. It wasn't something we expected to see. One minute he sat down, and the next minute he put his foot over the barrier," Wright said. He said he and his girlfriend saw the man as he finished up the tag and then made his getaway. They stayed at the exhibit while a group of nearby women went to find museum staff. An alarm soon went off, and the museum was evacuated. Wright said he and his girlfriend gave a description of the event to a museum employee. "It's just not the thing you expect to see in an art gallery," Wright said. "I've never seen anything like it. It's quite shocking, actually." Rothko, a Russian-American abstract expressionist, was commissioned to do a series of paintings for the Four Seasons restaurant of the Seagram building in New York in 1958. Though he started the series of murals, he famously reneged, deciding the swanky New York restaurant wasn't an appropriate home for his art. Rothko rejected the commission but completed paintings stemming from the project, many of which made their way into the halls of museums. The murals arrived in London as Rothko killed himself in 1970 and have been on display at many of the Tate's locations, as well as the National Gallery of Art in Washington. Rothko's children, Kate Rothko Prizel and Christopher Rothko, said in a statement that they were thankful for the support of others after the incident. "The Rothko family is greatly troubled by yesterday's occurrence but has full confidence that the Tate Gallery will do all in its power to remedy the situation," the family said. "Our father donated his legendary Seagram paintings to the museum in 1969 sensing the commitment of the institution to his work and impressed by the warm embrace it had received from the British public. We are heartened to have felt that embrace again in the outpouring of distress and support that we and our father have received both directly and in public forums." CNN's Susannah Palk and Sari Zeidler contributed to this report.

(CNN) -- Over the years, the Winter Olympics has thrown up a variety of competitors that defy logic. There was Jamaica's legendary bobsled team, a cross-country skier from Kenya and Britain's Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards, whose inept performances in 1988 prompted a change in the qualifying rules. Now, one of the world's most famous violinists can be added to the eclectic mix. This weekend, Vanessa Mae -- who has sold over 10 million albums worldwide -- sneaked through qualifying for next month's Olympics. "She's done it by a whisker, but she's done it," manager Giles Holland told the BBC. In Sochi, Mae will compete as Vanessa Vanakorn, using the surname of her Thai father and representing his homeland as well. She may be used to racing through scales, her fingers dancing atop the strings of a violin, but the 35-year-old must now negotiate a very different rhythm as she is pitched into the giant slalom. With the Games starting on February 7, Mae left it late to book her place -- only claiming the relevant qualifying marks this weekend, which the International Ski Federation (FIS) confirmed on Monday. Olympic qualification rules determine that countries without a skier ranked in the world's top 500 can send one male and one female competitor to the Games -- to compete in slalom and giant slalom -- as long as the athletes can achieve a second set of criteria. This was to produce an average of 140 points or fewer over five recognized races. She managed this over the weekend after competing in four giant slalom races in Slovenia, even competing in a national junior championship race where the diminutive Mae, 5ft 3in, stuck out by virtue of being 14 years older than her nearest rival. "According to the qualification system which we have, which requires her to start at least five slalom or giant slalom races, she has done so," said Ana Jelusic, the FIS's Alpine media co-ordinator. "It also requires her to come below a certain number of FIS points, which in this case is 140. She has done so." Lifelong Hobby . Mae started skiing at the age of four, a year before she took up the violin, and she describes the sport as her 'lifelong hobby'. Such an attitude fueled her decision to relocate from London to Zermatt, after buying a house in the Swiss resort in 2009, where she lives with long-term boyfriend Lionel Catelan, for whom skiing is also in the blood after growing up in the French town of Val d'Isère. The musician will become only the second Winter Olympian to represent Thailand. In 2002, Prawat Nagvajara was so slow on his debut that he was pulled out of his race, before improving -- as it were -- to finish last in his cross country event at the Turin Games four years later. At the age of 10, Mae made her solo debut with the Philharmonia Orchestra in London. Three years later, she was the youngest soloist ever to record the demanding Beethoven and Tchaikovsky violin concertos. Born in Singapore, she grew up in London where she became famous for what she herself has termed "techno-acoustic fusion", a mix of classical and modern styles. Mae has said that she will return to her music once her Olympic dream is over.

For years, experts have warned that robots could soon take over our jobs - and for bank workers in Japan, this threat just became a reality. A humanoid called Nao will begin working at branches of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group from April, on a trial basis. But, if the trial is successful, the robotic employees will be rolled out to more branches of the Japanese bank by 2020. Scroll down for video . A humanoid called Nao (pictured) will being working at branches of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group from April, on a trial basis. It has two cameras mounted to its head, that act as eyes, as well as four directional microphones. The 1ft 11in (58cm) bot also has touch sensors, can speak 19 languages and reads emotions . Nao is designed by French firm Aldebaran Robotics. It has two cameras mounted to its head, that act as eyes, as well as four directional microphones to act as its ears. The 1ft 11in (58cm) bot also has touch sensors, can speak 19 languages and is able to read and respond to emotions, by analysing facial expressions. This analysis is made using embedded software called NAOqi. During a presentation in Tokyo this week, Nao welcomed customers to the bank, and asked which service they required. Aldebaran has produced more than 5,000 of its Nao humanoid, and it is primarily used for research and educational purposes. Artificial Intelligence has been described as a threat that could be 'more dangerous than nukes'. Now a group of scientists and entrepreneurs, including Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking, have signed an open letter promising to ensure AI research benefits humanity. Stark warning: Professor Stephen Hawking says we must be vigilant about artificial intelligence . The letter warns that without safeguards on intelligent machines, mankind could be heading for a dark future. The document, drafted by the Future of Life Institute, said scientists should seek to head off risks that could wipe out mankind. The authors say there is a 'broad consensus' that AI research is making good progress and would have a growing impact on society. It highlights speech recognition, image analysis, driverless cars, translation and robot motion as having benefited from the research. 'The potential benefits are huge, since everything that civilisation has to offer is a product of human intelligence; we cannot predict what we might achieve when this intelligence is magnified by the tools AI may provide, but the eradication of disease and poverty are not unfathomable,' the authors write. But it issued a stark warning that research into the rewards of AI had to be matched with an equal effort to avoid the potential damage it could wreak. For instance, in the short term, it claims AI may put millions of people out of work. In the long term, it could have the potential to play out like a fictional dystopias in which intelligence greater than humans could begin acting against their programming. During a presentation in Tokyo this week, Nao welcomed Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group customers and asked which service they required. If the trial is successful, the robotic employees will be rolled out to more branches of the bank across the country by the 2020 Olympics . Aldebaran has produced more than 5,000 of its Nao humanoid, and it is primarily used for research and educational purposes (pictured). The Alderbaran robots retail from 198,000 yen (£1,107) and can understand 80 per cent of conversations. They also have the ability to learn from conversations . Claims made by an expert in artificial intelligence predict that in less than five years, office jobs will disappear completely to the point where machines will replace humans. The idea that robots will one day be able to do all low-skilled jobs is not new, but Andrew Anderson from UK artificial intelligence company, Celaton, said the pace of advance is much faster than originally thought. AI, for example, can carry out labour intensive clerical tasks quickly and automatically, while the latest models are also capable of making decisions traditionally made by humans. ‘The fact that a machine can not only carry out these tasks, but constantly learn how to do it better and faster, means clerical workers are no longer needed in the vast quantities they once were,' Mr Anderson said. For example, a machine can recognise duplicate insurance claims by knowing it has seen a phone number or an address before. Nao is made by the same firm that builds Pepper. In December, Nescafe hired 1,000 Pepper robots to work across home appliance stores in Japan, where they help customers looking for a Nespresso coffee machine. Pepper robots are also used in Softbank stores as shop assistants, because Aldebaran is a subsidiary of the mobile carrier. Equipped with the latest voice and emotion recognition technology, Pepper is able to read people's facial expressions and listen to their tone of voice to analyse how they're feeling. 'Pepper will be able to explain Nescafé products and services and engage in conversation with consumers. 'I hope that this new consumer engagement model will expand across the world as an example of Japanese innovation,' said Kohzoh Takaoka, president and chief executive of Nestlé Japan. 'The dream to create an advanced consumer experience with Pepper is now coming true.

Pepper (pictured) appeared on a stage in a Tokyo in December. It touched hands with Softbank Chief Executive Masayoshi Son in a moment described by the firm as a Genesis or 'E.T.' moment . Robotic companions are hugely popular in Japan, but they have failed to become commercial successes. Japanese electronics and entertainment company Sony discontinued the Aibo pet-dog robot in 2006, despite an outcry from its fans. At that time, Sony had developed a child-shaped entertainment robot similar to Pepper but much smaller, capable of dances and other charming moves. However, it never became a commercial product. Honda has developed the walking, talking Asimo robot, but that is too sophisticated and expensive for home use, and appears in Honda showrooms and at gala events only.

Honda is planning to release a hydrogen-powered car in March 2016 that, in an emergency, could even power your house. The clean-energy car called the FCV, which emits only water as a waste product, will have a range of 300 miles (480km) and seating for up to five people . But problems with hydrogen fuel, such as a lack of infrastructure to support a nationwide fleet of cars, will need to be solved before the technology is adopted. Scroll down for video . Japanese company Honda has unveiled its new FCV concept car (artist's illustration shown). The vehicle runs solely on hydrogen fuel and will be released in March 2016. Hydrogen fuel is desirable because it only emits water and heat. The zero-emission fuel is heralded as a replacement for petrol one day . Hydrogen fuel has been heralded as the future of automobiles, and possibly leading to a ‘hydrogen economy’ where many things run on the element, as it is a zero-emission fuel. Cars employing the fuel use electrochemical cells or combustion to turn it into heat, with the only by-product being water. A report by Autocar has suggested that BMW is looking to develop its own hydrogen vehicle. Rumoured to be called the i5, the vehicle would compliment the existing electric i3 and hybrid i8 in the i-brand series. Aside from Honda, the i5 would compete with other hydrogen cars from Toyota and Hyundai. And there are also rumours that Audi and Mercedes could be release hydrogen cars of their own in the not too distant future, possibly by 2017. Many car manufacturers have been toying with the idea of hydrogen cars including Toyota and BMW. And now Honda’s latest effort, the successor to their FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel car, will soon be on its way. There is no news yet on the price of the car or what its top speed will be, but the release date of March 2016 in Japan is known. Honda says a release in the US and Europe will then follow. The car has a power output of more than 100kW and an increased ‘power density’ of 60 per cent over its predecessor. This gives the car its impressive range of 300 miles (480km). The FCV also apparently has an external power feeder than, during an emergency, could be used to power an entire home. The clean-energy car called the FCV (illustration shown), which emits only water as a waste product, will have a range of 300 miles (480km) and seating for ‘up to five’ people . Coconuts could play a key role in making non-polluting cars that only emit water a reality. For years, scientists have been working out how to develop fuel cell cars powered by pure hydrogen, but are unsure how to store the substance effectively. Now, they may be close to solving this problem using the unlikely candidate. Researchers from India’s Benaras Hindu University used coconut kernels to store hydrogen in gas form. Professor Viney Dixit and his team, at the university’s Hydrogen Energy Centre created carbon from coconut kernels, which contain fatty and organic acids as well as potassium, magnesium and sodium. He says that the kernels, which are easily found, are cheap and can easily be converted into carbon. And the researchers found that the carbon produced from the kernels could store a ‘considerable’ amount of hydrogen. Honda's newly announced FCV Concept vehicle will be the successor to the FCX Calrity, seen here being refuelled at the UK's first open access hydrogen vehicle refuelling station in Swindon in 2011 . The vehicle can be refuelled in just three to five minutes, although the specialist hydrogen-fuel is not widely available at stations yet. Hydrogen itself is also a bit of a problem. Although it is widely billed as a potential replacement for petrol, pure hydrogen does not occur naturally on Earth. This means it needs to be made via other means, such as using methane, but the process is complicated. And attempts to replicate the process using renewable sources have proven to be expensive. Nonetheless, car manufacturers are banking on hydrogen ultimately becoming a major source of fuel in the future, and Honda especially is keen to stay at the front of the game. ‘Honda has led the industry for nearly two decades in the development and deployment of fuel-cell technology through extensive real-world testing, including the first government fleet deployment and retail customer leasing program,’ the company said in a statement. ‘Since the introduction of its first generation fuel-cell vehicle, the FCX, in 2002, Honda has made significant technological advancements in fuel-cell vehicle operation in both hot and sub-freezing weather while meeting customer expectations and safety regulations.’

Des Moines, Iowa (CNN)Sen. Rand Paul embraced his libertarian roots in Iowa this weekend, speaking unapologetically about his apprehension about foreign intervention and stoking the fire in one of the libertarian movement's biggest crusades: auditing the Federal Reserve. In his first trip to Iowa this year, just under a year before the caucuses, the Kentucky Republican and potential presidential candidate ventured into familiar territory, rallying young voters and libertarian-minded supporters who turned out big for his father's presidential campaigns. Paul found friendly audiences at the end of a stormy week filled with negative headlines over comments he made about vaccinations and swirling controversy involving one of his advisers in Iowa. The crowds this weekend were a marked contrast to the social conservative audience that packed a Des Moines theater two weeks ago to hear 10 hours of speeches from a hoard of other potential candidates at the Iowa Freedom Summit. The Federal Reserve was hardly mentioned at that event, and the rhetoric on war and the fight against ISIS was more forceful and hawkish that the positions Paul took this weekend. 'One loud voice' Last fall, the senator struggled to communicate his stance on the war against terror. At first he urged restraint against ISIS, but after American journalists were beheaded by the group, Paul began supporting limited action. He eventually, in a committee vote, voted "no" to authorizing war against ISIS, saying he felt the bill was too open-ended, and it was a vote he stood proudly by this weekend as he used it to separate himself from his potential competitors. "You're going to get a choice on who the nominee is for the Republican Party. You're going to have nine, 10, 15, 20 who are eager to go and want troops on the ground," he said at the "Audit the Fed" rally Friday, which took place at a winery in Des Moines. "They want 100,000 troops on the ground. Right now. In all the countries." "I can tell you there will be one loud voice in our party saying, think of the unintended consequence. Think about what we're going to accomplish and whether it will work before we go to war.' I promise you that will always be something I take very, very seriously." The theme of "acting before thinking" was the way he described the Obama administration's foreign policy, for which he squarely placed blame on Hillary Clinton, hammering her for supporting military action in Libya and calling for the arming of Syrian rebels. At a Saturday morning event, held at a bar and grill in Marshalltown, Paul acknowledged that he "begrudgingly" thinks the United States should intervene in the Middle East to protect American interests, such as the embassy in Baghdad and consulate in Erbil. "But I don't want to send 100,000 GIs in." That should be left to regional fighters, he said, before launching into a fiery diatribe. "And don't get me started about Saudi Arabia. There need to be 20,000 Saudi Arabians fighting that war because they've been a problem." Building a brand . With so many Republican candidates likely to echo each other's talking points in the next year, Paul has tried to run in his own lane by shaping his libertarian foundation into a selling point that says he's best poised to expand the Republican base. To stop the "dismantling of the country," Paul said it's going to take someone with a nontraditional approach. "It's not going to take a ho-hum, same-old, same-old, we'll-get-a-Republican-that's-a-little-bit-different-than-the-Democrats. It's going to take someone who can unite the country. Republican. Democrat. Working class. Business class. Rich. Poor. Black. White. You name it. When our party looks like the rest of America, we're going to win." Rep. Rod Blum, a Republican success story in Iowa who won a largely Democratic district in November, introduced Paul at the Saturday morning event and said he was attracted to Paul's efforts to broaden the GOP tent, though he stressed in an interview with CNN he wouldn't be endorsing anyone this early on, if at all. Margaret Meade of Marshalltown, who identifies as a Democrat, said Paul "might have some success" attracting voters like her but argued he needs to "stop saying mean things about Hillary Clinton," saying it only turns off those same voters. Courting the youth . Later Saturday, Paul popped by by the Iowa State University men's basketball game in Ames before dropping in at a watch party hosted by College Republicans and Young Americans for Liberty, a group founded by his father, ex-Rep. Ron Paul. "I think the energy in any political movement is the youth," Paul told CNN, explaining why he wanted to kick off his year in Iowa with a libertarian-leaning focus. The senator, however, was dressed in blue -- staying true, he said, to the University of Kentucky, where two of his sons go to school. "I do have an Iowa State pen on my jacket, but I'd get in too much trouble if I had an Iowa State shirt on," he told the students. Staff from his political committee were at the ready at the watch party, providing students with smartphone covers emblazoned with the logo "RAND" and collecting names and contact information. Standing at a podium with a minibar close by, Paul spoke freely about what he considers the dangers of civil forfeiture and the malpractice of the National Security Agency. "The Bill of Rights is not for the prom queen. The Bill of Rights isn't for the high school quarterback," he said. "The Bill of Rights is for those who are unpopular, for those who want to speak their mind." Young people also were prevalent at the "Audit the Fed" rally. The Federal Reserve is already audited by a third-party accounting firm arranged through the inspector general and partially by the Government Accountability Office. But Paul reintroduced legislation that would give full auditing power to the GAO and would require regular reports to Congress. Paul was noticeably more comfortable shaking hands and taking pictures with voters than he has been in the past. The first-term senator and ophthalmologist is known for his no-frills, less-than-warm style. But while meeting with students on Saturday, Paul frequently smiled and avoided looking down at his shoes in between photos, as he's been known to do. At the restaurant earlier Saturday, he occasionally would ask questions and engage in small talk. Anthony Neutout, who went to both the Marshalltown event and the "Audit the Fed" rally, said he liked Paul's unusual style. "He's not a brass polished politician, not a walking mannequin... A lot of candidates, it's like they have multiple personality disorder," Neutout said. "Rand is very consistent." Still, Paul was more celebrity than Average Joe to some voters. He was asked to sign five baseballs at the Marshalltown event and a copy of Time magazine from when he appeared on the cover back in October. Others were more ardent supporters of Paul. One pair of friends drove from Lake County, Indiana -- a five-hour drive. A week of headaches . Paul was courting the very same base this weekend that became the focal point for a damaging story this week by National Journal, which profiled the negative reputation of A.J. Spiker, a Paul adviser who was at the helm when activists in Iowa's liberty movement took over the state party in 2012. The report quotes party officials who had strong misgivings about what they described as Spiker's divisiveness. But Paul defended his adviser and expressed confidence in Spiker's connections with the liberty movement and Christian conservatives. "There are always going to be people who have chosen other candidates or who for one reason or another hold a grudge. But I think really with both A.J. and (Paul's other Iowa adviser, Steve Grubbs) there's a broad reach to a broad swath to the party," Paul told the Des Moines Register on Thursday. Paul spent several days trying to clear up comments he made that lent credibility to theories​ that vaccinations cause mental disorders. That, combined with negative attention over how he shushed a female interviewer, sparked a wave of criticism from pundits over whether the senator is ready for prime time. "Rand Paul is not inspiring a lot of confidence that he his ready for a national campaign," said Iowa GOP strategist Tim Albrecht, who works for Dave Kochel, a consultant recently hired by Jeb Bush. "You can coach a candidate on messaging and how to give a speech but what you cannot coach is thick skin. He needs to toughen up and that starts by not talking down to people interviewing him. We've already got that in the White House." Rand Paul defends shushing interview . But the supporters who showed up at his events this weekend appeared unconcerned with the senator's recent dust-ups. "I don't take one week at a time," said Dave McCluskey of West Des Moines. "I look at the big picture."
Rand Paul kicks off his first event in Iowa this year with events that appeal to libertarian-minded voters . Effort builds on the foundation that his father established in the state during his 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns .

People with Parkinson's disease who have a pacemaker-like device implanted in the brain spend an extra four-plus hours a day free of tremors and involuntary movements than they do on medication, according to the largest study of the treatment, which is known as deep brain stimulation. In deep brain stimulation, electrodes deliver impulses to the substantia nigra, which coordinates movement. However, deep brain stimulation also has a correspondingly greater risk of problems, such as infection, because of the complicated surgery, according to the study published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "It definitely is brain surgery and that should give anyone pause," says David Charles, M.D., of Vanderbilt University, in Nashville, Tennessee, who was not involved in the new study. Nevertheless, he adds, most of the problems seen in the study were related to the surgery itself, and many had resolved themselves within six months. The findings are "encouraging," he says, given that previous research has suggested that patients might develop much more serious problems, such as major depression and suicidal thoughts, than were seen in the current study. Health.com: My life with Parkinson's . In deep brain stimulation, electrodes are used to deliver electrical impulses to the substantia nigra, a crescent-shaped region in the center of the brain that controls and coordinates movement. In patients with Parkinson's disease, dopamine-producing nerve cells in this region degenerate, causing tremors, stiffness, slowed movement, and loss of coordination. Drugs such as levodopa can help reduce tremors and involuntary movements. But for many people, this medication loses its effectiveness over time, while the side effects -- such as sudden jerky movements, chewing motions, and hand tremors -- get worse. Introduced in the late 1990s, deep brain stimulation is becoming more widely accepted to treat such patients. But most studies have not been conducted in a way to clearly demonstrate the risks and benefits compared with medication alone. In the new study, a team led by Frances Weaver, Ph.D., director of the Center for Management of Complex Chronic Care at the Hines VA Hospital, in Hines, Illinois, randomly assigned 255 Parkinson's patients to deep brain stimulation or medical therapy, which could include physical therapy, medication, and other appropriate treatment. A quarter of the patients were older than 70. Six months after treatment, the deep brain stimulation patients reported about 4.6 more hours a day of "on" time, meaning time without movement problems; those in the control group showed no "on" time improvement. In all, 71 percent of the deep brain stimulation patients had improvements in their motor function, compared to 32 percent of the medical therapy patients. When Parkinson's patients start a new drug, Weaver notes, they will see at best an hour or two more of "on" time a day. "It's huge, and more than that, it's consistent with what other studies are finding too," says Charles. "It's a large study at multiple centers with lots of patients and it's done in a very rigorous manner." Charles is conducting a clinical trial of deep brain stimulation in patients with very early Parkinson's disease, which, like Weaver's research, is partially funded by the company that makes the stimulation device -- Medtronic. Charles has served as faculty for Medtronic educational programs and consulted with the company, as did one researcher on the JAMA study. Overall, deep brain stimulation patients were nearly four times as likely to have serious post-surgery problems, such as infections, disorders of the nervous system, or psychiatric problems. Ten percent of surgery patients developed infections in the surgical site, and one person died. Serious falls also were more common among deep brain stimulation patients during the six months after surgery. People who had deep brain stimulation were also more likely to develop depression, confusion, and anxiety, although these changes were minor, according to Weaver and her colleagues, and it's not yet clear how much of an effect they had on patients. Health.com: Natural cures for depression . The surgery is extremely complex, Weaver notes; first, patients must have the electrodes implanted in the brain, which has to happen while they are awake so the surgeon can test the effects of touching various brain regions in order to make sure they are putting the device in the right place. Then patients undergo surgery to implant the pacing device, usually in the chest, which must be done under general anesthesia. If a patient develops an infection, it may be necessary to remove the device and replace it with a new one. The fact that the study included a relatively high number of people over 70 may have contributed to the high rate of adverse events, Weaver explains. But the benefits seen for patients -- including the older people, who fared as well as the younger patients -- are "great news," Charles says. Anyone considering deep brain stimulation should keep these risks in mind and work with his or her physician to determine if the benefits will outweigh these relatively rare -- but significant -- dangers, Weaver advises. More than 1 million people in the United States have Parkinson's disease, and 50,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Actor Michael J. Fox is arguably the most famous person with the disease; his was diagnosed in 1991. Health.com: Michael J. Fox keeps up the fight . In 1998, Fox underwent a type of brain surgery called a thalamotomy, in which a tiny portion of brain tissue is destroyed. This type of surgery gives a similar result to deep brain stimulation, but is not reversible. With deep brain stimulation, doctors can halt the electrical impulses if necessary. More than 35,000 deep brain stimulation procedures have been performed around the world, according to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, and the procedure is being studied as a treatment for depression and other conditions as well.

Washington (CNN) -- Could tractor-trailer rigs almost as long as Boeing 737s be driving on a highway near you? If a new transportation bill proposed by House Republicans passes, the answer is yes, and the safety ramifications would be astronomical, say congressional opponents of the bill and the AAA Auto Club. The American Energy and Infrastructure Jobs Act introduced Tuesday by Republicans would authorize about $260 billion over five years to fund federal highway programs. The legislation also contains a controversial provision allowing heavier tractor-trailer trucks on highways by increasing the federal weight limit from 80,000 pounds to 97,000 pounds. In some cases, it would allow 126,000-pound trucks onto highways. The legislation also allows the largest rigs, which comprise two and sometimes three trailers, to be as much as 10 feet longer -- a total length of more than 100 feet. While statistics from 2010 show overall traffic fatalities declining across the nation, truck crash fatalities actually increased 9%, to 3,675, according to statistics from the Truck Safety Coalition. Opponents of the proposed legislation say having even bigger trucks on the roads would increase the amount of fatalities because bigger trucks take longer to stop and their crashes are even more destructive. "If there was ever a recipe for disaster, this is it," said Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-New Jersey, chairman of the Commerce Subcommittee on Surface Transportation. "We all value the importance of trucks to our economy, to our recovery ... but the trucks have to share the roads with our families, and that's why we're never going to let trucks take a priority over the well-being of our families." But the Coalition for Transportation Productivity, a transportation advocacy group, says heavier trucks don't create safety issues so long as states make sure to require the trucks to have a sixth axle. "The truck weight provision in the bill simply gives states the ability to open all, or portions of, their interstate networks to more productive, single-trailer trucks equipped with six axles rather than the typical five. Without changing truck size, the required sixth axle maintains all braking and handling characteristics at the new limit of 97,000 pounds," John Runyan, executive director of the coalition said in a written statement. Besides safety issues, opponents also say bigger trucks would put further stress on already deteriorating roads and bridges. "At a time when we are seriously under-investing in the nation's transportation infrastructure, allowing bigger and heavier trucks on our roads and bridges is a step in the wrong direction," said Jill Ingrassia, AAA managing director of government relations and traffic safety advocacy. The bill is heading for a hearing in the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Thursday, and Rep. James McGovern, D-Massachusetts, a member of the committee, said he will use everything in his power, including working with the Senate and the Obama administration, to get this provision taken out of the bill. "I feel confident we're going to prevail here, but we're here to tell the leadership of the House that we're raring for a fight here," McGovern said. "We are going to fight. This is a serious issue."

By . Steph Cockroft . In the depths of a bitter winter, during one of the bloodiest wars in history, two warring sides laid down their weapons and took part in one of the most powerful shows of peace in history. On Christmas Day 1914, the sounds of firing rifles faded and British and German soldiers, who had been at war for five months, broke into an impromptu game of football in No Man's Land in Flanders, France. The poignant meeting between the trenches signalled a Christmas truce along the Western Front, which would prove to be only of the only glimpses of chivalry in an otherwise brutal war. Players took part in a reenactment of the iconic football match which took place on Christmas Day 1914 in Flanders, when British and German armies agreed a truce . The impromptu game broke out during the First World War after a German messenger walked across No Man's Land on Christmas Eve to broker a temporary ceasefire . The match, which was a replica on the Christmas Day truce came, took place in blistering temperatures - in direct comparison to the freezing winter which troops faced at the time . After Christmas Day, the war continued for another four years, killing up to ten million people. Now that match has been recreated on Saltburn beach, Teesside, to mark the First World War as the centenary of its start approaches. In starkly different circumstances, . including sweltering temperatures, two teams dressed up in historic wartime gear to reenact a version of the 1914 game. Watched by thousands of spectators, the two teams battled it out on the sand, in tribute to those who lost their lives during the conflict. Truce: A depiction of British and German soldiers playing football in 'No Man's Land' on the battlefield in World War One . The two teams dressed up in vintage army uniforms and played the game, which ended up with a 5-2 win to the 'British' side. There was also a . field of 8,000 poppies laid to create a temporary 'war cemetery' in tribute to the fallen. A Tiger Moth plane also flew overhead, scattering 40,000 poppy petals onto the crowds below. The 1914 game was one of many unofficial ceasefires . that took place along the Western Front around Christmas 1914 during that war. The truce began after a German messenger walked across No Man's Land on Christmas Eve to broker the temporary ceasefire. The event attracted thousands of people down to the beach, where the match was followed by many other activities to commemorate the fallen from the First World War . Two teams dressed up in vintage uniforms to replicate the match, which was also written about in the wartime novel Birdsong, by Sebastian Faulks . Organiser Allan Whiley said the event - which ended up with a 5-2 win to the British team - was arranged to commemorate the futility of war, as the centenary of the start of the Great War approaches . British soldiers then went out and . recovered 69 dead comrades and buried them. The impromptu football match . soon broke out between the two sides when a ball was kicked out from . the British lines into No Man's Land. To commemorate the game, and the war that followed, organisers arranged a complete day of events. When the tide came in, there was a short service by a . church leader from Saltburn as a lone bugler plays The Last Post. Silent Night, which was sung by German soldiers on the day of the truce football match, was also sung in both German and English. The event became well known after it was written about in Sebastian Faulks' war time book, Birdsong. The men, who were split in British and German teams as they were in the trenches, raised a truce flag at the event . A sea of 8,000 poppies were also laid to mark the fallen, while a Tiger Moth plane flew overhead, dropping 40,000 poppy petals to the crowds below . Silent Night, which was sung by German soldiers on the day of the truce match, was also sung in both German and English at the event . Allan Whiley told the Northern Echo: 'If the soldiers had continued playing football instead . of being forced back into battle perhaps a lot of lives would have been . saved not just in the First World War but the second one as well. We . want to commemorate the futility of war. 'We knew we couldn’t do this on Christmas Day, which is when the match . actually happened, so we thought we would hold it nearer the time of the . outbreak of the war.' Proceeds from the event, to be match funded by Barclays, will go to the . East Cleveland branch of the Royal British Legion who will use the funds . to restore Saltburn's War Memorial.

By . Lucy Thackray . As she prepares to take on the role of former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, actress Rachel Griffiths has revealed her own opinions about the struggles Australian women have to face both in government and in society. 'We need more women on top and our girls do need more strong role models,' she told Sunday Style. '(My daughter) Adelaide said to me the other day, 'Why do they only show boys' sports on television? It's so annoying!' And that's out of the mouth of an eight-year-old!' The upcoming telemovie, Stalking Julia is in pre-production and is based on Kerry-Anne Walsh’s book The Stalking of Julia Gillard: How the Media and Team Rudd Brought Down the Prime Minister. Ms Griffiths will play our first female Prime Minister during her controversial three years in office. Scroll down for video . Rachel Griffiths says she was shocked to see a recent survey reveal Australia 'well down' on the list of countries for working women . Two years ago Griffiths, her husband and their three young children returned to live in Melbourne after around a decade in the US. Griffiths says that the statistics actually prove that Australia's treatment of women is worse than in many other countries. ‘I read an extraordinary survey that showed Australia was well down the list of best places to be a working woman. It was all empirical – it’s not my opinion,' she told Sunday Style. 'It’s based on pay, on promotion, on family-friendly policies, on some areas still being culturally anti-female. She says that the conditions are made too difficult for most women to enter into Australia politics. ‘I get cross that some very talented women I know who would have been brilliant in office have been approached and are consciously saying no.' Griffiths, who will play former Prime Minister Julia GIllard in Stalking Julia, says parliament is not where 'any smart, successful woman I know really chooses to go and make a difference' Griffiths has never been afraid to make her political beliefs known. In March this year, she appeared on ABC’s Q and A and said that parliament is ‘not where any smart, successful woman I know really chooses to go and make a difference’. Griffiths was arrested in 1997, when she went topless to protest the opening of the Crown Casino in Melbourne whilst she was attending the casino’s opening party. At the time, Rachel Griffiths said that the Victorian government, which was being led by Premier Jeff Kennett, had ‘succeeded in raping our state of its dignity, compassion and sense of community.’ When asked why she had chosen to protest in this manner, she told a journalist ‘if I didn’t flash my tits, you wouldn’t have put me in the papers'. The 44-year-old Aussie actress is currently starring in Channel Nine's House Husbands and is in a campaign for Sportscraft. She and her family, including her two daughters, Adelaide and Clementine and her son, Banjo, are here to stay.
Says it's a fact that Australia is more sexist than other countries . 'We need more women on top and our girls need more strong role models' Will portray Julia Gillard's term as Prime Minister in Stalking Julia .

(CNN) -- Brazil have moved to the top of South American qualifying for the 2010 World Cup finals after thrashing Uruguay 4-0 in Montevideo, their first victory in the country for 33 years. Brazil players celebrate Juan's second goal in their 4-0 thrashing of Uruguay. Barcelona full-back Daniel Alves gave them an 11th-minute lead with a speculative long-range effort that goalkeeper Sebastian Viera allowed to bounce over him and into the net. Roma defender Juan headed home the second goal 10 minutes before the interval and Sevilla's Luis Fabiano added a third early in the second half, although he was later sent off. In-demand AC Milan playmaker Kaka completed the victory from the penalty spot after he had been fouled in the area. The win sees Brazil move onto 24 points, level with former leaders Paraguay who relinquished top spot after a shock 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Chile. Goals from Matias Fernandez in the 12th minute and Humberto Suazo in the 50th gave Chile a crucial win, lifting them up to third place -- just a single point off the top two. Argentina complete the top four, another point behind on 22 points, after a 56th-minute Daniel Diaz goal gave them a 1-0 home victory over Colombia in Buenos Aires. With only the leading four teams guaranteed a place in South Africa next year, fifth-placed Uruguay now appear to have a mountain to climb, as they trail Argentina by five points with just five matches remaining. The fifth-placed team will have North America's fourth-placed side in a play-off for the remaining World Cup qualification place.

(CNN) -- Roger Federer regained the title at his hometown tournament in Basle as he beat defending champion Novak Djokovic 6-4 3-6 6-1 in Sunday's final. Serbian star Djokovic ended a run of three straight titles for Federer when he beat the Swiss maestro in last year's final, but there was to be no repeat. It was his third win over the second seed in four meetings this year with his only loss in the U.S. Open semifinals at Flushing Meadows. Federer now has 65 career titles to go fourth in the all-time list, one ahead of American great Pete Sampras. The St. Jakobshalle arena is certainly a happy hunting ground for the 16-time grand slam champion, winning four of the last five finals at the Swiss Indoors tournament and seven from 11. He swept through the deciding set for the loss of a single game to wrap up victory in just under two hours. Federer now heads to the Paris Masters bidding for a hat-trick of tournament titles after winning the Stockholm Open last week. He will be top seed at Bercy in the absence of world number one Rafael Nadal. Meanwhile at the Valencia Open, Spain's David Ferrer beat compatriot Marcel Granollers 7-5 6-3 in Sunday's final. The victory boosts Ferrer's chances of claiming one of the three places available for the season-ending ATP Tour Finals in London later this month with the Paris Masters the final counting event for qualification.

By . Jennifer Smith for MailOnline . Mark Yeeles was jailed for six years at Newcastle Crown Court . An internet blackmailer forced a teenage girl to perform an eight hour rape reenactment with her friend over webcam, threatening to send her family naked photographs of her if she refused. Mark Yeeles was jailed for six years for preying on the victims who have been left in need of psychiatric care. The 20-year-old from South Shields was told he had 'ruined their lives' as he was jailed for the sickening incident. Newcastle Crown Court heard how Yeeles threatened 'your family are going to love a naked picture or two' when the girl tried to ignore his requests. The teenager was on the brink of suicide when he ordered her to carry out the eight-our rape re-enactment online. He admitted blackmail, inciting a child to engage in sexual activity, engaging in sexual activity in the presence of a child and possessing indecent images. Judge Guy Whitburn said the man had 'ruined' the girls' lives. 'It is quite clear you were reminding her from time to time of the power you held over her to post naked pictures of her where her friends and family would see them. 'It is clear she knew she was being blackmailed. 'It was well thought out, it was deliberate and utterly heartless.' 'These girls who are particularly vulnerable, very young, they have to be protected from the consequences of their own folly.' The court heard Yeeles approached his young victim over the internet after coming across a photograph of her in her underwear. He used the image to threaten her into taping sordid videos, promising to delete them all once she had done what he told her. When he told her to involve a friend, he instructed: 'convince her, for your sake'. The 20-year-old was jailed for six years at Newcastle Crown Court (pictured) by a judge said he had 'ruined' the lives of the young girls . Prosecuting Gavin Doig said: 'The defendant manipulated her, promising he would leave her alone if she complied then failed to do so. 'They both performed for Yeeles, he was instructing them what to do. 'He was continuing to threaten to publish images if not satisfied with their performance.' Afterwards, he sent one of the girls a photograph of the event, but did not make other contact for around a year. When he resurfaced they called the police. Vic Laffey, defending, said: 'He would not say boo to a goose but under the cover of the internet he was able to present himself as something he simply isn’t. 'There is no doubt he feels genuine remorse. 'He didn’t realise the torment he was putting people through but he does now.'

By . Louise Eccles . Perhaps Royal Ascot’s fashion police were snoozing on the beat. Showing her black lace bra in a backless, thigh-skimming dress, Zoe Neilson made it into the exclusive royal enclosure – which is supposed to have the strictest dress requirements of all. The tattooed 23-year-old dismissed the tough new sartorial regulations as ‘pretentious’ as she evaded the dress code assistants patrolling the turnstiles yesterday. Dismissive: Zoe Neilson, 23, said the new regulations at Royal Ascot were 'pretentious' She was in breach of two rules – giving a glimpse of her underwear and wearing a dress not of ‘modest length’, both strictly prohibited in the prestigious enclosure. But it was the former private schoolgirl’s nose ring and heavily tattooed arm which were more likely to provoke controversy. Getting away with it: Zoe Neilson showed her black lace bra in a backless, thigh-skimming dress . While not against the regulations, they could cause a stir among the well-heeled guests at the genteel race meet. And one can only wonder what the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh, who were in attendance for the second day, made of the less than distinguished attire chosen by some racegoers. Organisers have introduced a tough new dress code this year after increasing numbers of visitors were accused of falling on the wrong side of propriety. The revised regulations demand hats in the royal enclosure and fascinators in the grandstand. Bottom-skimming skirts, strapless tops, halternecks and spaghetti straps are banned. Fashion officers patrol the gates to hand out free pashminas, ties and fascinators to anyone who breaks the rules – while those who require a hat must pay a £50 cash deposit to encourage them to return it. Yesterday, arts graduate Miss Neilson, who attended St Mary’s boarding school in Wantage, Oxfordshire, now part of £29,000-a-year Heathfield School in Ascot, said: ‘I knew my dress was too short so I tugged it down just before I went through the gates. ‘I saw the stewards as I went into the enclosure, but I just thought “Whatever, I’m having a good time, you have a good time”. ‘I feel a bit bad about showing my bra at the back – but not really actually because you can’t please everyone. ‘I like that everyone gets dressed up for Ascot but I think it’s a little bit pretentious. ‘Then again, you don’t want everyone running around in here in mini-skirts and crop tops.’ When . asked about her tattoos, which feature heavily down her left arm and . include roses, ivy  and a pocket watch, Miss Neilson, of Wandsworth, . south London, said: ‘I didn’t even think twice about my tattoos. I don’t . think it’s an issue these days at all and I think they are nice.’ The . portrait artist shares her passion for inking with fellow racegoer . Joanna Southgate, 34, who attracted attention at Ascot on Tuesday after . removing her leather jacket to reveal heavily tattooed arms beneath a . classy red dress and cherry-shaped headpiece. Enjoying the day: The Queen wore pink while the Duke of Edinburgh opted for a traditional grey top hat . Competitor: The Queen's horse Carlton House ran on day two of the race meet . Yesterday, the office worker,  of Brixton, south London, insisted her tattoos – which include  two naked ladies and an octopus – were ‘tasteful’. She said: ‘It is interesting that it has caused a stir. I had a really good day at Ascot and no one made any untoward comments to me about my tattoos. Everyone was really accepting. ‘My tattoos were done by an amazing artist and I think mine are very tasteful, very artistic. They are a work of art. ‘If I had badly done tattoos or offensive tattoos then I would certainly cover them up for the races.’ She described her tattoos as  ‘art nouveau’, saying they included a ‘naked woman lying on her side’ and the top half of a ‘naked Japanese lady’. How the Mail revealed on Wednesday that Ascot's rules were being flouted . Both of the women were, she said, ‘covering up their extremities’. While . the body art on show may have raised some eyebrows, plenty of racegoers . passed the dress code test with flying colours  yesterday – no doubt . helped by the fact that many appeared to have followed in the . immaculately shod footsteps of the Duchess of Cambridge. The . grandstand was packed with women in knee-length shift dresses, skirt . suits and nude court shoes that were similar to Kate’s favourite LK . Bennett Sledge heels. It . came days after the Duchess of Cambridge, the Duchess of  Cornwall and . the Countess of Wessex all wore nude court shoes to the Order of the . Garter service at Windsor Castle. Nurse . Fiona Webb, 29, of Wokingham, Berkshire, wore a pair of nude sling-back . patent shoes with a blue and orange dress and nude-coloured hat for her . visit to the races. She said: ‘This is the first time I have worn nude heels but it went with my dress and there were so many in the shops. ‘I . didn’t consciously choose them because Kate Middleton wears them but I . suppose she has had  an influence on women’s fashion. She is certainly . always very  well dressed.’ And . as always, the Queen showed racegoers how it should be done, wearing a . powder pink hat and matching coat and dress to the event yesterday. Her . choice was welcomed by radiotherapist Lauren Evans, 23, who remains on . track to win £25,000 on a £5 bet with Ladbrokes if she guesses the . colour of the Queen’s hat every day of Ascot. She correctly predicted . that the Queen would wear blue on Tuesday. Miss . Evans, of Kensington, said: ‘I’m in shock to be honest. It’s crazy that . she’s actually wearing pink. I don’t want to get carried away because . there’s still three days to go.’ Glamorous: Prince Harry's erstwhile paramour Florence Brudenell Bruce (left) looked chic . in a Missoni dress at Ascot, while Viscountess Serena . Linley (right) was neat in white wool skirt suit . Too short! The new regulations mean that high hemlines are banned in the Grandstand and Royal enclosure . Stylish: Christine Bleakley wore a fabulous hat and white dress with a blue band. Frank Lampard wore a three-piece suit with skinny tie . Hoping for a winner: Sophie, Countess of Wessex cheers on the horses as Prince Edward looks on . Emotional rollercoaster: Sophie, Countess of Wessex, could hardly bear to watch at one point but she appeared delighted as the runners in one race crossed the finish line . Star names: Formula One racing driver Jenson Button attended with his girlfriend Jessica Michibata (left) while actor Robson Green was also among the spectators . Glitzy: Steps singers Lisa Scott-Lee and Faye Tozer were among the elegantly dressed ladies at the event . In harmony: Retro girl band The Tootsie Rollers retro girl band entertained visitors in matching red dresses and hats . Too revealing: Six women handing out fliers and stickers for a local strip club were asked to leave . Not enough excitement? A smartly-dressed racegoer dozes off on a bench .

By . Nazia Parveen . PUBLISHED: . 10:47 EST, 11 March 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 20:46 EST, 11 March 2013 . Allegations: Dr Humayun Iqbal is accused of molesting two junior colleagues at a hospital in Newcastle . A senior doctor groped a trainee surgeon before telling her, ‘well that’s what juniors are for isn’t it?’, a medical tribunal has heard. Dr Humayun Iqbal, 40, had been conducting a private anatomy lesson when he allegedly forced himself upon the woman and tried to steal a kiss before putting his hand down her blouse. When his junior colleague protested and told him to get off, Iqbal is said to have replied: ‘I have to practise for my wife’, later adding:  ‘At the end of your rotation you will be begging for it.’ The woman, known as Dr B, was one of two junior female colleagues molested by Iqbal while he was working as a registrar, a General Medical Council hearing has been told. The fitness to practise panel heard that Iqbal ‘manipulated’ his victims and behaved inappropriately towards them under the charade of teaching. Peter Atherton, counsel for the GMC, said: ‘In each of these cases Dr Iqbal manipulated his victims by the offer of teaching and learning assistance to them. ‘Common to both is the emotional and mental turmoil that they both then experienced. ‘In particular their great concern was how they were going to deal with this unexpected, totally inappropriate behaviour at the start of their careers. ‘Of course they were both anxious to make a good impression on their seniors and equally they were most concerned for their personal reputation.’ The alleged incident involving Dr B occurred in December 2009 after Iqbal invited her for ‘further teaching’ in an empty coffee room. Peter Atherton, GMC counsel . Iqbal asked the woman an anatomy question and when she answered correctly he hugged her before tightening his embrace and then forcibly kissing her, it was alleged. Mr Atherton said: ‘Her reaction  was to object and rebuke him for  what happened but he started to  say totally inappropriate things such as ‘‘I have to practise for my wife’’  and ‘‘well that’s what juniors are for isn’t it?’’ ‘He also invited her to attend a course with him in Canada. When she made it clear his advances  were not welcome he said ‘‘at the end of your rotation you will be  begging for it’’.’ Later, after she moved hospitals, Iqbal allegedly sent the junior surgeon an offensive text which prompted her to make a formal complaint against him. The text said: ‘A good boss is like a bra – always supportive and never lets you down, a bad boss is like Pampers – always stuck to your a***.’ The second alleged victim, known as Miss A, was a nurse practitioner who had just started training at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne. Iqbal was said to have lured her to a lecture theatre in November 2009 under the pretext of ‘demonstrating relevant anatomy’ before fondling  her breast. The woman was left feeling ‘like a rabbit caught in the headlights’ as a result of Iqbal’s unwanted sexual advances and made an entry in her diary saying: ‘Awful day. Iqbal.’ She told the hearing: ‘He was drawing pictures of lungs and different incisions, he touched me on the back first, below my right shoulder blade and moved his hand right around towards the front. ‘He moved his hand from the back to the front, my right breast. I was just a bit shocked. I don’t know, he could have drawn it on the diagram. I just moved away and I sat back. ‘My heart was racing. I felt like a lump of jelly. I knew I had gone bright red, blushing, and he asked me if I had allergies – he touched my left cheek and I said ‘‘no’’.’ Following the incident the woman lost weight, suffered sleepless nights and struggled to do her work, it was claimed. 'Totally inappropriate': The General Medical Council was told at a hearing in Manchester that Iqbal had 'manipulated' his alleged victims by offering to teach them . She added: ‘I just felt very uncomfortable because he touched me. I had . just started working there and I didn’t want to cause any trouble. I . just wanted to get on with him.’ Miss A reported the incident after she attended an interview with a . consultant the following February and confessed her spell at the . hospital had been ‘unhappy’ because of Iqbal. A nursing colleague of Miss A told the hearing in Manchester: ‘She said . she had had a terrible experience after a day in theatre with Dr Iqbal. She said he had behaved inappropriately with her and she was frightened. It had had quite an impact on her. ‘She demonstrated on me what he had done and I felt uncomfortable, she . was touching me in that area so I felt embarrassed, it wasn’t a . lingering it was a hand sweep. ‘She lost a lot of weight and she said she wasn’t sleeping and she was struggling in her work.’ In a subsequent hospital trust disciplinary proceeding relating to both . women, Iqbal claimed Dr B had made ‘profoundly racist’ comments towards . him. He claimed he had only taken her to the coffee room to tackle her . over a complaint made about her work. His allegations are firmly denied . by Dr B. Iqbal, from Ponteland, Newcastle, denies misconduct. The hearing continues. Sorry we are unable to accept comments for legal reasons.

(CNN) -- He's known as "the millionaire with no face." And South Korean officials apparently have questions for him. Yoo Byung-un -- businessman, artist, ex-con and religious figure -- does not appear to have a direct financial stake in the Cheonghaejin Marine Co, which runs the ill-fated South Korean ferry Sewol. But South Korean media have reported that some believe he controls the company through two of his sons, who own stakes in the firm through subsidiaries. Yoo's allies strongly deny his involvement. A release issued Friday by a public relations agency representing Yoo insists that he doesn't have anything to do with any company tied to the ferry disaster. Michael Ham, managing director of Ahae Press, said he knows Yoo "has been spending every single day of the past four to five years focusing on his photography work," not directing any firm tied to the sunken ferry. "I am dismayed at the media reports linking him to the Sewol incident and suggesting that he is directly responsible for this tragedy," Ham said. "These claims cannot be further from the truth." Authorities searched Yoo's home this week, plus offices of the company that owns the ferry, prosecutors told CNN. The Ahae Press release notes Yoo's sons are among dozens subject to travel bans in light of the ferry incident, calling this "blanket approach ... standard for investigations by Korean regulators." Investigators have also searched 20 of the ferry owner's affiliates and a religious organization linked to Yoo, according to the semiofficial Yonhap News Agency. The religious group and a private organization that conducts ship safety investigations are also facing probes in the disaster, Yonhap reported. Prosecutors are looking for evidence of wrongdoing that might have contributed to the Sewol disaster. How Yoo fits into that picture remains murky. Little is officially known about Yoo, who earned his nickname as "the millionaire with no face" by making few public appearances. He was convicted on fraud charges in the 1990s and spent four years in prison for tax evasion. He also headed a now-defunct ferry company that operated on the Han River. Yoo is now believed to be involved with the Evangelical Baptist Church, a Korean religious group founded by his father-in-law. It now has 20,000 members, according to Yonhap. More recently, he assumed a new identity of sorts as a photographer and artist who goes by the name "AHAE." The news release out Friday indicates his work has gone on display in the Louvre and the Palace of Versailles. A biography on Ahae.com says he has an interest in organic farming and also describes him as an entrepreneur who once designed ships that traveled the Han River. True to Yoo's nickname, Ahae doesn't show his face on the website. He only appears from behind, photographing nature scenes in his trademark style -- out an open window of his South Korean studio. According the website bio, Ahae was born in 1941 in Japan, where his family was during Japanese colonial rule of Korea. That would make him 72 or 73. The biography describes Ahae as "an inventor, entrepreneur, philanthropist, environmental activist, martial artist, painter, sculptor, poet, and photographer." "Ahae has been a conservationist all his life and has done everything within his power to ensure that his business activities do not conflict with his endeavors to maintain the purity of the natural world," the biography reads. "His focus on organic products is a natural extension of his concern for the environment, and the individual in particular." CNN's Michael Pearson reported and wrote from Atlanta; CNN's Kyung Lah reported from Jindo, South Korea. CNN's Steven Jiang and Greg Botelho contributed to this report.

Pripyat, Ukraine (CNN) -- There's an eerie stillness about the desolate buildings and empty streets of Pripyat. From the main square, overgrown with brambles and wild grass, the town looks like an ancient ruin lost in a jungle. Buildings, windows smashed, stand like monolithic giants peering down. On one, an unlit neon sign saying "restaurant" clings onto a rooftop. From another, a hammer and sickle looms over the scene below. I can't think of a single place I've visited that feels so utterly abandoned and lost. The order to evacuate Pripyat came too late. It had been 36 hours since an explosion in Reactor 4 at Chernobyl, on April 26, 1986, had spewed its radioactive debris over the town. Fearing panic, the then Soviet authorities, under Mikhail Gorbachev, ordered Pripyat's citizens to continue life as normal. So, as the world's worst nuclear accident wreaked havoc, searing with radiation all in its path, children in this town went to school and sat through lessons. Couples got married. When the evacuation did get under way, once the scale of disaster could no longer be denied, residents were told they would be back in a few days. They took nothing with them -- just documents, some money and some food for the bus ride. Even inside the Soviet Union, the disgraceful way the situation was handled by the authorities was severely criticized. On several occasions since, Gorbachev -- remembered for his perestroika and glasnost reforms -- said he believed Chernobyl was equally responsible for bringing about the collapse of the Soviet Union. Even 25 years on, the problem of Chernobyl has far from gone away. There is considerable debate over how many people died, and how many are still dying, as a result of the calamity. The International Atomic Energy Agency and the World Health Organization say 28 emergency workers died of radiation sickness in the immediate aftermath of the disaster. About 20 more who received high doses of radiation died of various causes in the following years, and as many as 4,000 cancer deaths are expected as a result of the disaster, according to those U.N. agencies. The Chernobyl Union of Ukraine, which supports survivors of the disaster, says 140,000 people who took part in the cleanup have died in the past quarter-century. But it is not clear how many of those fell victim to radiation. Meanwhile, researchers say that in addition to spikes in certain types of cancers, there is evidence of severe anxiety among survivors. Ukraine's government says an area larger than Switzerland was affected, and a 30-km (19-mile) radius around the plant remains all but uninhabited. And the impact is unlikely to diminish anytime soon. Nuclear disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima don't run on a human timeline. Limited numbers of tourists are allowed into the accident zone for brief visits, despite radiation being well above normal, but scientists say generations may pass before it is entirely safe for people to return.

Final preparations were underway at Nasa today as the space agency's Curiosity rover began its final approach to the red planet ahead of its expected landing on monday morning. Mission scientists explained how the seven cameras aboard the rover are set to capture the martian surface as we have never seen it before. However, the rover still has one massive hurdle to overcome before it can even begin work - the much anticipated 'seven minutes of terror' as it hurtles through the martian atmosphere, before (hopefully) being gently placed onto the surface by a floating 'air crane'. Scroll down for video . Speaking martian - Scientists comment on the seven cameras aboard the Curiosity Mars Rover during a media briefing at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena - but have to explain each acronym first . Today the leading scientists behind the project explained exactly what will happen - and admitted that explaining the project has been tough due to the huge number of acronyms used. Names and descriptions are often reduced to acronyms and abbreviations, which are faster to string together in a sentence but can end up sounding downright martian to the outside world.. Curiosity is loaded with the most . sophisticated instruments to study Mars' environment — with convoluted . names to match. 'Mastcam' refers to the pair of 2-megapixel color . cameras on the rover's 'head'. 'SAM', short for Sample Analysis at . Mars, is the mobile chemistry lab designed to sniff for carbon . compounds. 'ChemCam' stands for Chemistry and Camera, otherwise known as . the rock-zapping laser. 'RAD' is the radiation detector. 'EDL' is the entry, descent and landing, or as NASA has come to call . it: Seven minutes of terror. 'DSN' is the . Deep Space Network, a worldwide network of antenna dishes that . communicates with interplanetary spacecraft. Nominal means A-OK. Not so . for anomaly (translation: Houston, we have a problem.) 'It's kind of our own slang,' explained Michael Watkins (above), mission manager of NASA's $2.5 billion Mars project. 'It's a shorthand way to talk about these very complicated systems.' He added: 'Even folks from other missions have no idea what we're talking about." Even the rover's name can be complex. In the halls of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, it's called MSL — short for Mars Science Laboratory. Spacecraft typically have technical names before being rechristened by the public through naming contests sponsored by NASA. For example: the twin rovers Spirit and Opportunity that landed in 2004 were known as MER-A and MER-B for the longest time (MER is shorthand for Mars Exploration Rover.) MSL did not become Curiosity until 2009 when a sixth-grader from Kansas proposed the nickname. Still, there are some hard-cores who continue to use the scientific moniker. The dizzying naming system even extends to time. It takes Earth 24 hours to spin on its axis — the definition of a day. Mars spins more slowly than Earth — taking 24 hours and 39 minutes. To distinguish between Earth and Mars time, a Martian day is called a sol, Latin for "sun." Yesterday on Mars is yestersol. Newcomers often find there's a steep curve to master the technical language. 'It takes some time to pick it up,' said Ken Farley, a professor at the California Institute of Technology who is participating on his first space mission. Luckily, Farley said new shorthand words are added to the mission's internal website. Before Spirit and Opportunity launched, cultural psychologists worked with scientists to come up with a better way to communicate. The rules of Mars-speak put in place back then still lives on today. JPL scientist Deborah Bass, who worked on that mission, said it's important to talk with precision. But she said it's also essential not to alienate fans. Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) mission members work in the data processing room beside Mission Control at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena . 'We're so jazzed about what we do,' Bass said. 'We can forget that not everybody has the same fundamental background as we do.' However, the team admit that while nowhere will extraterrestrial . vocabulary fly faster than in the JPL mission control room on landing . day, for the casual observer there is one simple tip - just look for the cheers or . tears. To reach its intended touch-down zone in a deep equatorial crater, the Curiosity rover must enter the atmosphere at a very precise point. A slight course correction - the fourth since launch - was made last Saturday, and mission scientists said the latest analysis indicates Curiosity will be no more than a kilometre from going straight down its planned "keyhole". The team is so confident it may abandon a planned final course correction on friday. 'We are about to land a small compact car on the surface with a trunk-load of instruments,' said Doug McCuistion, the head of Nasa's Mars programme. 'This is a pretty amazing feat getting ready to happen. 'It's exciting, it's daring - but it's fantastic," The $2.5bn mission is due to touch down at 05:31 GMT (06:31 BST) Monday 6 August; 22:31 PDT, Sunday 5 August. Engineers work on a model of the Mars rover Curiosity at the Spacecraft Assembly Facility at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena . It will be a totally automated landing, as the vast distance between Mars and Earth means there is a 13-minute lag . in communications, making real-time intervention impossible. The team has devised a rocket-powered, hovering crane . to lower the rover to the surface in the final moments of its descent. The first black-and-white images of the surface taken by Curiosity . should be returned to Earth in the first hours after touch down, but the . mission team do not intend to rush into exploration. 'This is a very complicated beast," said Pete Theisinger, Curiosity's project manager told the BBC. 'The speech I made to the team is to recognize that on Sunday night at . [22:32 PDT], we will have a priceless asset that we have placed on the . surface of another planet that could last a long time if we operate it . correctly, and so we will be as cautious as hell about what we do with . it.' Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Lead Flight Director David Oh in the Mission Control room ahead of the landing of the Mars rover Curiosity. The team has also been experimenting using a full size replica of the rover, and has even created a 'martian park' in Pasadena so they can replicate the surface of the red planet. In mission control, the banks of screen scientists will use to monitor the landing were today unveiled, giving a unique glimpse into the mission.

By . Associated Press . Domino's is introducing its own version of Siri. The pizza delivery chain announced on Monday that it is introducing a function on its mobile app that lets customers place orders by speaking with a computer-generated voice named Dom. The rollout is part of an ongoing push by Domino's to take business away from rivals and smaller pizza shops by offering more convenient ways to order. The company, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, says the updated app for iPhones and Android devices will deliver a 'human-like, conversational' experience, but notes that it will take some time to work out the kinks in the technology. Ordering just got easier: Domino's is introducing a 'Siri' app so customers can order on mobiles . 'It is not perfect,' Domino's CEO Patrick Doyle said in an interview. 'This is the sort of thing, like any other really new technology launch, you're going to learn, you're going to get better.' Already, mobile and online ordering accounts for 40 percent of Domino's U.S. sales. Growing that portion of its business has become a priority for the chain, with customers increasingly saying they prefer to place orders that way. People who order digitally also tend to spend more and return with greater frequency because they like the convenience, Doyle said. Meanwhile, he noted that smaller pizza shops don't have the money to invest in such technologies. 'It is clearly an area where we'll be able to leverage our scale,' he said. Customers who order pizza with their smart phones spend more . Although other factors have played a role, Domino's credits its digital platforms for helping drive sales. Last year, the company's domestic sales rose 5.4 percent at established locations.Still, compared with many other cuisines, the pizza industry remains fairly fragmented. Four of the national biggest chains — Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's and Little Caesars — together have a little more than 40 percent of the market, according to Doyle. Darren Tristano, an analyst with the industry tracker Technomic, said the major chains have the potential to grow their market share by leveraging national marketing campaign and the ability to offer steeper discounts. And while sophisticated digital ordering platforms give the big chains an edge, Tristano said those technologies will eventually become cheap enough for smaller players to adopt. 'That gap is shrinking,' Tristano said. For now, the voice ordering function on the Domino's app is fairly simple. After pulling up the app, customers type in their address and are taken to the ordering page where they can push a button to order by voice. A voice that identifies itself as Dom walks customers through the process by asking if they want additional toppings or other items. To pay, customers still have to type in their credit card information. Domino's Pizza Inc., which has 5,000 U.S. locations, is partnering with Nuance Communications to offer the technology.

The Islamic State's black jihadist flag has been obliterated in a devastating airstrike by American forces on a Kobane hillside controlled by the militant group. In a series of images, what appears to be an ISIS militant can first be seen standing by the flag on Tilsehir hill near the Turkish border - after the terrorist group seized control of the strategically important hilltop 4km west of the town. Just moments later the hillside erupts into flames as the man flees for his life - and the fighter appears to stand his ground against the ferocious power of the weapon, although whether it is indeed a militant has not yet been confirmed. The images have emerged as American and Arab jets launched fresh attacks on ISIS positions in the north of Kobane - with pyrotechnic tracer ammunition lighting up the night sky and coalition warplanes destroying ISIS-held buildings with a barrage of air-to-surface missiles. Scroll down for video . The Islamic State's black jihadist flag has been obliterated in a devastating airstrike by American forces on a Kobane hillside controlled by the militant group.

The pictures were captured at Yumurtalik village, in Sanliurfa province. Turkey, which has riled Kurdish leaders and frustrated Washington by refusing to allow fighters or weapons into Kobane, said this week it would help Iraqi Kurdish fighters cross into Syria to help their brethren against the militants . The terrorist group was thought to have been pushed out of the centre of the besieged Syrian city after hundreds of brave Kurdish resistance fighters coordinated fierce street battles with coalition bombing raids - forcing the well-equipped jihadis to retreat into the outskirts of Kobane. The pictures were captured at Yumurtalik village, in Sanliurfa province. Earlier the flag was still visible in Kobane - despite Kurdish territorial gains and weeks of sustained airstrikes by American and Arab warplanes. It could clearly still be seen inside city, raised over a multi-storey building just a few hundred feet away from where the yellow, triangular flag of the Kurdish People's Protection Unit (YPG) was seen fluttering above a largely destroyed housing complex. The chilling image of the ISIS flag still flying in Kobane emerged as lawmakers in Iraq's largely autonomous Kurdish region authorized peshmerga forces to cross into neighboring Syria to help fellow Kurds combat Islamic State militants in the city, providing much-needed boots on the ground. The unprecedented deployment will almost certainly depend on the support of Turkey, whose president criticized a U.S. airdrop of arms to Kurdish fighters after some of the weapons wound up in the hands of the extremists.

Turkey, which has riled Kurdish leaders and frustrated Washington by refusing to allow fighters or weapons into Kobane, said this week it would help Iraqi Kurdish fighters cross into Syria to help their brethren against the militants, who also are being attacked by a U.S.-led campaign of airstrikes. But it is not clear how many fighters will be allowed in or whether they will be allowed to carry enough weapons to make an impact. The Kurds of Syria and Iraq have become a major focal point in the war against the Islamic State group, with Kurdish populations in both countries coming under significant threat by the militants' lightning advance. Lt. Gen. Frederick Hodges, the outgoing commander of NATO's Land Command in Izmir, Turkey, said the Turks have agreed to open up 'a land bridge of sorts' so that the peshmerga can get into Kobane to help with the fighting there. 'It seems to me that between the United States, Turkey and other countries, they are figuring out what is permissible to make sure that ISIL is not successful and that it is something that Turkey can live with,' he added, using an acronym for the group.

(CNN) -- In 33 years with CNN, Jim Clancy has been almost everywhere and seen almost everything. That includes covering the aftermath of horrific commercial jet crashes, like Pan Am Flight 103 in Lockerbie, Scotland, and Swissair Flight 111 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It's what he does. So naturally, when he got a call on March 8 that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 had vanished, Clancy went to work. After that first week, though, the veteran international journalist said it became evident this wasn't your typical jet crash. That's all the more obvious four weeks in as investigators don't have the plane's wreckage in hand. Nor do they have a fact-based explanation as to what happened. Below, Clancy reflects on the story and what makes it so unique and baffling -- one that might take years to unravel. QUESTION: What did you expect when you got the call and headed from Seoul to Kuala Lumpur? CLANCY: I've covered various other air crashes that resulted in great loss of life. As I landed that Saturday in Kuala Lumpur, I thought -- as did most journalists -- that the biggest challenge to the story would be facing grieving families, having to interview and interact with them at what was almost certainly one of the worst times of their lives. But I was certain the crash itself would be quickly explained, a search would quickly bring us to conclusions. We expected the sadness and the sorrow from the families. We knew because there were so many people on board and so many different nationalities, that it would be a major story. We expected it to be resolved in 72 hours. QUESTION: When did you get the sense that wouldn't happen? CLANCY: Very early on, at the very first news conference they hinted that the plane may have tried to reverse course, make a "turn back" as they called it. And I asked the head of the air force: A turn back 5 km, did it make it 10 km, 20 km? And he said, I can't tell you that, I don't know. And then after that, that's when we learned that it had flown hundreds of miles on radar. QUESTION: What's your take on Malaysia's response, and the reaction to it? CLANCY: While this was not Malaysia's first air tragedy, it was an unprecedented situation where a plane had gone missing -- not because something happened that forced it down, but because it abandoned its flight course and we don't know why. The officials here were really hard pressed to know what do, how to react, who was in charge. From the very beginning, everybody wanted to know the answer to one question: Where is the plane? What happened to my loved ones? And why did it go off course? These are fundamental questions that would be asked by anyone. The problem was that Malaysian authorities didn't have any idea what the answer was to these questions. How could they? But that was seen by many as they must be covering something up, they must be hiding something. It didn't help that the aircraft flew back across the Malay Peninsula undetected, they didn't scramble any jets and it simply flew away into the Indian Ocean. And it appeared at the time that their civil aviation and that their military aviation weren't talking to one another or hadn't communicated with one another. So the combination of multiple voices with no answers undermined any trust that the families had. The Chinese, especially, were bitter. Internet chat rooms and news outlets pumped up the theories . They included accusations that the Malaysians may have shot down the plane and they are covering it all up, that there was a hijacking and the Malaysian government was negotiating with them and they weren't telling the families. China's government allowed protests in Beijing against Malaysia's embassy. The kind of protests China would never tolerate if its own government were the target. (They fueled the idea) that somehow the Malaysian government was directly responsible for the fate of their relatives and was trying to deceive them. QUESTION: What's at stake for Malaysia? CLANCY: They knew they were overwhelmed, confused and sending mixed signals in the first week. They tried to do their best, but it was an unprecedented situation. Rivalries within the government may have contributed. Clearly there was some level of incompetence. People forget that the United States on 9/11 didn't realize that those planes were going into the World Trade Center until the second one hit and the Pentagon had been hit. And that's when (the United States) scrambled jets. So here's tiny Malaysia -- with no experience in any of this -- and they know that they screwed up, but they desperately wanted to show they could get it right. That's why they brought in a PR firm and reorganized themselves to help get a single message out and to try to dispel the rumors that they were trying to cover something up. It's a national airline. It's national pride. Their logic has been: If we find the plane and unravel what happened here, people will overlook the first few days of confusion and know we were never hiding something. They didn't have any of the capabilities or any of the assets to find this plane. So they organized a huge effort for the region. They also wanted this opportunity to shine. But again, they knew that they had to find the plane to make the whole thing work. So that's why they're so dedicated ... They will happily spend the last dollar that Australia has to find this plane. QUESTION: Why has this story resonated with so many people? CLANCY: This story has captured the world's attention because no one can believe that a sophisticated airliner like the Boeing 777 with 239 people on board can simply vanish into thin air. With no answers coming out of Kuala Lumpur, the internet went wild with speculation. Movie scripts started appearing online, there were attempts to crowdsource the search for the plane by looking at satellite photos. All kinds of images would pop up that you couldn't trace. Because there were no facts, you could make them up. QUESTION: How do you approach a story like this? CLANCY: I've never covered a story like this one that had so few facts and so much speculation in so many different directions. Very quickly we saw chaos. Yes, the government was responsible for some of it. But Malaysia and the media danced down the road of contradiction and confusion together. Reporters misinterpreted what they were told. Sources misinterpreted what they were telling reporters. When I began to see it unfolding, I was more determined than ever to avoid speculation and conjecture about what happened to the plane. From what our sources were telling us, it was obvious they didn't have any real facts and there was no point in pretending we did, either. I wasn't going to embrace some theory. Once CNN broke the story this plane had flown out of the South China Sea, back across the Malay Peninsula, I understood this was a bizarre, unprecedented event. The outcome was unpredictable because almost anything was possible. And so I kept convincing myself that evidence has to be coming. It has to be seen on a satellite, it has to be seen on a radar. (And conspiracy theorists speculating about terrorism) never stopped themselves to ask the basic question of: Who did it? Tell me who on board did it? They couldn't do that. Some of these rumors persist. Some of them start in China, some of them have started with aviation buffs. But none of the theories have any evidence to back it up. It is such a mystery because we have so few facts. QUESTION: What makes this story stand out for you, of all those big ones you've covered? CLANCY: I'm trying to think of a story that's more baffling. I can't. With Lockerbie , Pan Am Flight 103, they had the airplane. It was a mystery at first because they didn't know why it came down. But we knew we had the evidence there and we would be able to find out what caused it. This case is far more baffling because we have a plane that reversed its flight path, traveled almost in a line to Antarctica and apparently stayed aloft until it ran out of fuel. That's a plot? There's been no claim of responsibility. There's been no manifesto explaining any political motives or personal motives for anyone. How does a plane with a catastrophic mechanical malfunction go on to fly another seven hours? And as we try to imagine what was going on aboard the aircraft this entire time, would the other crew members have just stood by and let the plane go off in the opposite direction? There's a very good reason for our curiosity. There's a very good reason for us to want to extend the resource necessary to unravel this mystery.
CNN anchor Jim Clancy is a veteran international journalist . He says it's hard to "think of a story that's more baffling" than the plane's disappearance . Clancy expected it would be resolved in 72 hours . Four weeks later, the plane's vanishing remains a mystery .

A retired Marine with nearly two decades of aviation experience has stepped forward with a compelling theory about a mysterious plane that was spotted flying over Texas last month. On March 10, photographers Steve Douglass and Dean Muskett took pictures of three puzzling aircraft flying over Amarillo, and posted them online in hopes of identifying the planes.

He bought the wood and metal replica a few years ago and kept it outside, but his girlfriend, who does not want to be named, has run out of patience with the 16ft contraption that dwarfs their pretty stone cottage, and so Mr Fillery has put it on internet auction site eBay.

By . Joshua Gardner . An elderly woman who plunged along with her car into a Texas lake miraculously floated out alive as police hauled out the vehicle some fifty minutes after it sank Thursday. First responders to Lake Houston initially believed they'd be retrieving a dead body along with the car when they were called to the scene. But the woman was found still alive as the car emerged around 9am, most likely thanks to an air pocket inside the vehicle. 'It was incredible': Sergeant K. Fonville and company were astounded when an unnamed woman emerged from Lake Houston some 50 minutes after her car sank into it Thursday morning . Authorities found her car submerged near a boat ramp off the lake's Duessen Park in about five feet of water, according the Atascocita Observer. It was assumed, at first to be a recovery mission. 'HCSO responding to vehicle that drove into Deussen Lake. Once towed, a body was recovered. Stay tuned for more information,' tweeted the Harris County Sheriff's Office, rather prematurely, early on Thursday. They noticed the woman as soon as they pulled out the car. She'd stayed alive, police believe, with some luck and an airpocket for 45 to 50 minutes. 'It was unbelievable,' said Sergeant K. Fonville. The woman was taken immediately to the hospital, where she was believed to be in stable condition. Police were unsure how the accident occurred. Miraculous: The unnamed elderly woman plunged with her car into five feet of water near a Lake Houston boat ramp. She is believed to have survived breathing from an air pocket .
Houston police were shocked as the unnamed woman suddenly emerged from her vehicle gasping for air . Police believe she survived by breathing in a pocket of trapped air .

(CNN) -- A federal judge in Louisiana on Thursday rescheduled the liability trial in the BP oil spill in Gulf of Mexico and postponed it to early next year from later this year. BP earlier asked the court to delay the liability trial until it decides whether to grant final approval to a class-action settlement that BP reached with attorneys representing thousands of businesses and individuals who made claims after the 2010 spill. The new trial date is scheduled for January 14, 2013, U.S. District Court Judge Carl J. Barbier ordered. The trial had been scheduled for November 8, 2012. The oil disaster began on April 20, 2010, with a rig explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon. Eleven workers died. Timeline of the Gulf oil disaster . The proposed settlement totals about $7.8 billion, including associated costs and expenses, but the company, in a statement, cautioned the final tally could be higher. The settlement would be paid from a $20 billion trust, BP said. Oil spewed into the sea for nearly three months before a cap was placed on the BP-owned Macondo well, nearly a mile beneath the surface. The spill damaged coral reef formations, according to researchers. Scientists have previously confirmed that a plume of hydrocarbons from the well settled in the deep Gulf.

(CNN) -- Somalia said a senior al Qaeda operative tied to several attacks in East Africa was killed Monday in a U.S. strike in southern Somalia. Saleh ali Saleh Nabhan, pictured on the FBI's Web site, reportedly was tied to al Qaeda's East Africa operations. Intelligence sources have confirmed to the Somali government that Saleh ali Saleh Nabhan was killed, Information Minister Dahir Mohamud Gelle said Tuesday. "We welcome that attack because those people targeted were murderers, and they are unwanted and unwelcome in Somalia," Gelle said. Nabhan's death will have "a major impact" on al Qaeda's operations in the Horn of Africa, according to one regional analyst. U.S. special operations forces used a helicopter to fire on a car Monday in southern Somalia, killing several people, including one they believed was Nabhan, U.S. officials told CNN earlier. Nabhan, 30, was born in Kenya and had been tied to attacks that included the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, according to the sources. More than 200 were killed, and 4,000 wounded in those attacks, most of them Kenyans. The United States targeted Nabhan in an airstrike in southern Somalia near the Kenyan border in March 2008, U.S. officials said at the time. In February 2006, the FBI announced that Nabhan was wanted for questioning in connection with the 2002 suicide bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel and the unsuccessful attack on an Israeli charter jet in Mombasa, Kenya. Ten Kenyans and three Israelis -- including two children -- were killed when three suicide bombers detonated a car bomb outside Mombasa's Paradise Hotel in November 2002. The bombing took place within minutes of an unsuccessful missile attack on an Israeli charter jet, which was taking off with 261 passengers and 10 crew members. President Obama signed off on Monday's operation, a senior U.S. official said. The United States had been monitoring the situation for days and had intelligence that Nabhan was in the area, the U.S. officials said. The officials who talked to CNN are familiar with the latest information on Monday's strike but did not want to be identified because they were not authorized to talk to the media. The U.S. helicopter flew from a U.S. Navy warship offshore, while the ship kept watch on the operation, one of the sources said. The warship was ready to rescue the American troops if they got into trouble. Farmers in the southeastern town of Barawe, Somalia, said they witnessed the assault. They said helicopters attacked a car and its occupants and that at least two people died. The witnesses said some helicopters landed and that some of the injured or dead were pulled into at least one helicopter. A U.S. official said the troops landed to take away the body believed to be that of Nabhan for positive identification. Nabhan is believed to be an associate of al Qaeda member Harun Fazul, who was indicted in the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies. The U.S. military has long sought Nabhan because he is believed to be deeply involved in al Qaeda's East African operations, a senior U.S. official said last year. "He was certainly one of the leading al Qaeda figures in East Africa," said Rashid Abdi, a Somalia analyst for the International Crisis Group, an independent advisory and analysis organization. Nabhan "has been living in the shadows" in Somalia and not much is known about his recent activity, Abdi said. "The fact that he is now out of the picture will have a bigger impact on al Qaeda than on Al-Shabaab," he said, referring to the Islamist militia in Somalia that has ties to al Qaeda. "He is a man with an important organizational memory, and if a key figure like him is killed, it always has a major impact." Al-Shabaab is waging a bloody battle against Somalia's transitional government and is on the U.S. list of terrorist organizations because of its al Qaeda ties. There are growing concerns that Somalia could be the next base for al Qaeda as U.S. forces pound their positions in Afghanistan and Pakistan. CIA Director Leon Panetta recently said the intelligence agency is keeping tabs on the region as a possible destination for fleeing al Qaeda operatives. Journalist Mohammed Amiin Adow and CNN's David McKenzie, Barbara Starr and Ed Henry contributed to this report.

(CNN) -- Taking attendance. That is the phrase used by the parent of a Sandy Hook Elementary School student, describing to a reporter what went on in the firehouse near the school as terrified mothers and fathers arrived in the minutes and hours after the shootings. The mothers and fathers looked anxiously for children who had lived through the shootings and had been brought into the firehouse. The surviving children and their parents found each other. But the other parents waited and waited. Their sons and daughters did not appear. And as the mothers and fathers who had been reunited with their children left the firehouse to go to their homes, a list began to be compiled. On it were the names of the boys and girls who were not accounted for. The most heart-shattering and unbearable list that can be imagined. Those 20 children, as they had left home for school earlier that day, were boys and girls who had favorite television shows, and Christmas wish lists, and jokes that only they and their families understood, and brothers and sisters they knew they'd be having dinner with. And parents, who now waited in the rapidly emptying Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire and Rescue station. There are days when it seems fair to ask if part of American life has gone irretrievably insane. A description of the scene inside the elementary school, from a law enforcement official who spoke to a reporter, was that it resembled "a killing field." That is a term of warfare, even of genocide, yet it seems not at all out of place in the context of contemporary domestic news. "We have lockdown drills," said Mary Ann Jacob, a library clerk at the school. She was explaining to reporters that the teachers, children and staff at Sandy Hook Elementary, like teachers, children and staff at elementary schools all across the United States, were well versed in the advisability of preparing for a day like Friday. Lockdown drills. More than half-a-century ago, children in elementary schools were trained in so-called duck-and-cover drills: the practice of diving under desks in case of nuclear attack by foreign enemies. Even at the time, it felt kind of comical; few boys and girls really believed that enemy aircraft were going to materialize over Midwestern or Southern or West Coast skies, bearing atomic payloads -- and a schoolroom desk, even in children's eyes, didn't promise much of a shelter against a bomb. American children tended to laugh and kid through the drills. Today's enemies seem considerably more real, and the children are taught to understand that. "The kids knew the routine," the librarian said. Thus, with the gunman in the school, she led the boys and girls to the lockdown-drill location: "between some bookcases and a wall, where you can't be seen from any windows." And, because they were children, and not soldiers trained in responding to heavy weaponry, when she and her colleagues then led the children to a storeroom and locked the door, she did the only thing she could to calm them as shots rang through the school: . Passed out crayons and paper. We tend to talk about terrorism in terms of potential attacks from foreign shores, but on weekends like this one we have to acknowledge that the specter of terror seems to have become a part of the very atmosphere of American life. At a movie theater in Colorado, a shopping mall in Oregon, a school in a quiet Connecticut town ... the places change, the news media gather after the bloodshed, the police piece together the sequence of events, the grief counselors mobilize. And somehow it all feels like flailing. At the end of a weekend like this one, do we feel at all secure that, having learned what we can about what has happened, the knowledge will help to prevent the next day and place of carnage? Of course not. There is an old movie that is often played on television during the holiday season; its very title bears a message of warmth and safety and affectionate December memories. "Christmas in Connecticut," the movie is called, and the words are meant to comfort and cheer. It was broadcast again nationally late last week as America settled in for what is supposed to be a season of kindness and gentle spirit. By the weekend in Connecticut, a law enforcement official, preparing to release the identities of the children who died, said that his colleagues were carefully compiling "a formal list of names, birthdates and information." A resident of Newtown told a television reporter: "Things like this just aren't supposed to happen here." No, they aren't. And "here" means not just Newtown, not just Connecticut, but this country we all share. It's not supposed to happen here. Yet it does, again and again. And, in a season of peace, a strong, no-longer-young nation, blessed with so many people of compassion and wisdom and good will, finds itself in a bleak and familiar place -- unable to answer the most basic question of all: . Why? The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Bob Greene.

By . Dominic King for MailOnline . The talk on Merseyside this week has been about the footballing enigma that is Mario Balotelli, but 20 years ago today the chatter centred on the emergence of a phenomenon. It was on August 28, 1994, that Robbie Fowler wrote his name in the record books with the fastest Barclays Premier League hat-trick, plundering his treble against an Arsenal defence which contained David Seaman, Tony Adams and Martin Keown in just four minutes 33 seconds. That devastating spell stamped the then 19-year-old Fowler as the most exciting young talent in the English game and ensured he was destined for a place in Anfield folklore; two decades on, it remains one of the Premier League’s most remarkable moments. VIDEO Still got it! Scroll down to watch Robbie Fowler's brilliant crossbar challenge . Hat-trick: Robbie Fowler scored three goals against Arsenal at Anfield in under five minutes . Robbie Fowler’s hat-trick against Arsenal at Anfield, August 28, 1994 . Goal 1 — 25min 58sec . Goal 2 — 28min 42sec . Goal 3 — 30min 31sec . TOTAL TIME: 4min 33sec . ‘Is it really that long?’ Fowler asks with a shake of the head, as he revisits that glorious afternoon when his professional life changed. ‘It’s probably the thing I’m known for most in the Premier League and it’s certainly the one I am most proud about. ‘I’ve moved down to sixth in the all-time scoring list and, honestly, that isn’t a problem. 'I don’t mind people taking over in terms of the goals they score, both in the Premier League and for Liverpool, but the hat-trick is the one achievement I want to stay as mine forever. It was some day.’ Liverpool had started the 1994-95 campaign with an eye-catching 6-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park but their next assignment, against George Graham’s Arsenal, was going to be the true test of their capabilities under Roy Evans. Record: Even 20 years later, Fowler's hat-trick is the fastest in Premier League history . On a glorious afternoon, both sides had started confidently in front of Sky’s cameras but midway through the first half, Fowler exploded into life, scrambling Arsenal’s senses and sparking pandemonium around Anfield, hosting its first game without the standing Kop. 26th minute: Jamie Redknapp’s right-wing cross bounces off Ian Rush and falls invitingly to Fowler. Andy Gray on Sky: ‘They got a bit of luck there, Liverpool. But when it dropped to Fowler, on that left foot, was there ever going to be any end product but the net bulging? He doesn’t miss them.’ Fowler: ‘I remember the cross came in and I found myself in space after it came off Rushie. I didn’t think about what I was going to do. I just put my head down and hit it.’ 29th minute: Liverpool turn defence into attack with Rob Jones setting Steve McManaman on a storming 60-yard run. As the winger moves forward with menace, Fowler starts to peel away. Martin Tyler on Sky: ‘McManaman… Fowler, making a yard for himself… Is it going in? It is! Two in two minutes from Robbie Fowler and they’re going crazy here at Anfield!’ Goals: Robbie Fowler is sixth in the all-time Premier League goal-scorers list . Fowler: ‘That was the best one. As Stevie Mac kept running, Arsenal’s defence kept dropping deep. Stevie and I had a great understanding and I knew if I made an angle, he would provide the pass. I managed to squeeze my shot through Lee Dixon’s legs and it left David Seaman unsighted. 31st minute: John Barnes swaps passes with Stig-Inge Bjornebye just inside Arsenal’s half and spies Fowler on the move. As Barnes delivers his lofted ball, Anfield senses history is in the making. Martin Tyler: ‘And he’s away again here! Is this going to be the hat-trick?… It is!’ Andy Gray: ‘That’s incredible! How’s that for a cool head? Unbelievable stuff from Liverpool! Unbelievable stuff from Robbie Fowler!’ Fowler: ‘What I remember most about this was the noise. The old Kop had been demolished, so all the season-ticket holders had been moved to the Anfield Road end and the noise they made was incredible. When Barnesy put the ball through to me, I heard this roar go up as I was about to shoot. Third: David Seaman and Martin Keown try desperately to prevent Fowler from scoring his sides third . ‘Martin Keown and David Seaman tried to block my first effort but I got the bounce of the ball and I managed to turn it in from a tight angle. It was an amazing moment.’ Fowler (left) ended that season being named PFA’s Young Player of the Year. He also helped Liverpool win the League Cup, having scored 31 goals in 57 matches. There were many more great days but, as he looks back on what he calls his best of all in Red, there is one slight regret. ‘The ball,’ Fowler says. ‘I’ve got it somewhere in the house but I couldn’t tell you which one it is. ‘I kept all the hat-trick balls (he scored nine, second only to Alan Shearer). If I’m honest, I regret not marking that one. I got all the lads to sign it but there was no fuss. ‘If I had given it some thought, I should have made a point of writing the game and date on it. ‘Arsenal were a lucky team for me and I had a lot of good times, including winning the FA Cup in 2001. ‘But people still talk to me about that day. It’s great it is still remembered after all these years.’

Too young: Garrett Gagne was hit and killed Thursday morning after celebrating New Year's Eve with friends in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. A police officer hit the 22-year-old with his car while he was allegedly lying in the street . A police officer responding to an emergency call early New Year's Day ran over and apparently killed a college lacrosse player who was lying in a road, authorities said. Police said they don't know why Garrett Gagne was in the road or what his condition was before he was struck at 4am in Chatham, Massachusetts. The officer, who has not yet been identified, immediately stopped and called for help when he realized he had hit Gagne, police said Thursday. State and local police are investigating. Gagne, 22, was a senior government major and lacrosse player for St. Lawrence University. Police said he was from Longmeadow in western Massachusetts and was in Chatham, on Cape Cod, to celebrate New Year's Eve with friends. A preliminary investigation has revealed that Gagne suffered head trauma from being hit by a car while he was in the road. Chatham Police Chief Mark Pawlina said his investigators will be looking into whether the officer was speeding at the time, and how the young man ended up lying in the road in a rural area. 'We do know that there were some indications that there was some celebration going on and some alcohol involved, but to what extent we don’t know yet,' he told the Boston Herald. 'That’s something detectives are trying to determine. ... Everything will be thoroughly investigated.' Gagne's death has deeply troubled his department. Stand-out athlete: Authorities don't know why Gagne was lying in the street when he was hit, and are investigating whether alcohol may have contributed to the tragic accident. Gagne pictured above playing lacrosse for St Lawrence University in a number 28 jersey . 'The officer is very distraught and very upset over this, which is to be expected,' Pawlina said. The officer's identity is due to be released within 24 hours and Pawlina said he 'was not a rookie' but also not a veteran. While police said that Gagne's friends could not be immediately reached after the incident, they spoke to the Boston Herald hours later when they set up a makeshift memorial at the scene. 'Everyone loved him,' 24-year-old Dave Honey of Boston, a friend and former lacross teammate told the paper. 'We're all from Chatham and we all were with him last night. We are still in shock.' However, Honey would not go into detail into what happened at the New Year's celebrations Gagne attended. Loved: Gagne (far left) was a senior at St Lawrence, and the Canton, New York school plans to hold a memorial for the fallen student when classes resume. Pictured above with friends in a shot posted to Facebook . St Lawrence University, in Canton, New York, set up a memorial website to Gagne on Thursday. In a statement, St. Lawrence President William Fox said the school will hold a tribute for him when classes resume. Fox wrote in the statement: 'When Mike Mahoney, Garrett's lacrosse coach, contacted me this morning, he told me, "Garrett was close to all of us on the team — a leader, mentor, and friend. His smile and enthusiasm were contagious. He could light up the field and sidelines with his personality. This sudden and shocking loss touches every one of us who knew him as one of our best."' Gagne played in every game last season, and contributed several goals for the team, according to online statistics. At Longmeadow High School, Gagne captained both the lacrosse and ski racing teams and was honored for his academics, according to Fox's statement. He was also a two-time Massachusetts state champion in ski racing.

(CNN) -- Authorities are investigating a letter bomb addressed to the CEO of Deutsche Bank that was delivered to the bank's headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany, police said Wednesday. The device, which contained shrapnel, was detected in the bank's mail room around 1 p.m. local time, said New York Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne. It did not detonate. "The return address was listed as a European central bank, which would likely increase the chances of him opening it," said Browne, who urged a general increase in mail room security. "A suspicious letter was received today at Deutsche Bank, addressed to Dr. (Josef) Ackermann," said bank spokesman Ronald Weichert. "In-house departments concerned alerted the police," who then launched an investigation. Browne said the incident prompted New York authorities to increase security around Manhattan's Deutsche Bank offices. CNN's Susan Candiotti and Diana Magnay contributed to this report .

(CNN) -- Thousands of Christians gathered at one of Rome's most famous landmarks Friday night as Pope Francis led the Catholic ceremony known as the Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum. Crowds of the faithful stood in solemn attendance, holding candles that cast a soft yellow glow over the ancient Roman site, as a giant cross made of dozens of flickering candles towered over the audience. The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross, commemorates the passion and death of Jesus. Earlier, the Pope led a service at St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican, also to mark Good Friday, the most solemn day of the Christian calendar. Roman Catholics worldwide use the day to reflect on the Gospel account of the day Jesus died on the cross, before his resurrection from the dead three days later on Easter Sunday, according to Christian doctrine. Holy Week, one of the most significant periods of the Roman Catholic year, will culminate on Easter Sunday with a Mass in St. Peter's Square, led by Pope Francis. On Holy Thursday, Pope Francis visited a home for the elderly and disabled, the Fondazione Don Carlo Gnocchi, to wash the feet of "12 disabled people of different ages, ethnicities and religious confessions," during a special Lord's Supper Mass, according to the Vatican. It was the second time he has broken with Vatican tradition and washed the feet of ordinary people rather than priests. Last year, he washed the feet of two women and two Muslims at a juvenile detention center in Rome. Before this, modern popes only washed the feet of 12 priests at the Vatican, during the Mass of the Last Supper. At his general audience Wednesday, Francis urged the faithful to seek an example in Jesus. "This week, as we follow Jesus along the way of the cross, may we imitate his loving obedience to the will of the father, especially in times of difficulty and humiliation, and open our hearts to his gifts of reconciliation, redemption and new life," he said. CNN's Shelby Lin Erdman and Delia Gallagher contributed to this report.

A convicted Russian mobster and informant facing a murder charge in the shooting death of a young rapper has accused his FBI handler of taking gifts and cash from him. Among the gifts reportedly provided by ex-gangster Mani Chulpayev were jewelry, cars, lavish hotel stays, sports tickets and cash - among other items. Chulpayev was arrested last month in connection to the death of young rapper Melvin Vernell III - known as Lil Phat - in Sandy Springs, Georgia last year. Informant: Former Russian gangster Mani Chulpayev has accused his FBI handler of accepting gifts from him that included jewelry, cars, sports tickets and cash . Victim: Chulpayev was arrested last month in connection to the murder of young rapper Melvin Vernell III - known as Lil Phat - in Sandy Springs, Atlanta last year . Chulpayev's lawyer, George Plumides, says that his client was betrayed by those who were supposed to be protecting him, and it may have steered authorities in Georgia to bring murder charges against his client. Plumides told ABC News: 'The agent obstructed a murder investigation. That's my opinion and it is Mani's as well.' Plumides added: 'It's nice to have an FBI agent that is looking over your shoulder, I guess. But I think he was ill-served. He didn't get a bargain.' The FBI confirmed to ABC News that its . inspection division, as well as the Department of Justice, are looking . into the allegations against the agent, Dante Jackson. Accomplice? Also arrested in the murder of Lil Phat was San Francisco basketball star Decensae White. He was taken into custody earlier this month and extradited to Georgia . A bureau spokesman told the network: 'We take the allegations very seriously. The policy on this could not be more clear.' Plumides claims that even when . Chulpayev was under investigation in the murder, Jackson had asked him . for $3,500 and various gifts. Speaking to WSBTV, District Attorney Paul Howard said that his office was looking into Chulpayev as a possible suspect shortly after the murder, but he would not say whether that was because the FBI interfered. 'Maybe sometime after we get this murder [investigation] completed then we'll look at some of the people that are involved in this incident, like the FBI participation,' Howard told the station. Lil Phat was killed in June 2012 in a parking deck next to the Northside Hospital Women's Center. Two men were seen leaving the seen after Lil Phat was shot. Also arrested in the murder was San Francisco basketball star Decensae White. He was taken into custody earlier this month and has been extradited to Georgia. Reports said that Lil Phat was at the hospital because his child was about to be born. The 19-year-old, known for being featured in rapper Webbie's popular 2007 song, 'Independent.' The song, which praised a woman's independent nature, peaked at No. 9 on Billboard's 100 and topped the rap chart. Lil Phat, a Baton Rouge, Louisiana native, was on the record label Trill Entertainment.

By . Harriet Arkell . Lucky escape: Jonah Murphy, one, from Hebburn, South Tyneside, fell nine feet through the bannisters just as he had learned to walk . A baby's first attempt at walking ended in disaster after he fell through a gap in the bannisters and onto hard tiles on the floor below. Jonah Murphy, from Hebburn, South Tyneside, was playing in an upstairs bedroom when he decided to take his first steps unaided, two days before his first birthday. The stairgate was closed but he stumbled on the landing and plunged straight through a gap in the bannisters, falling nine feet onto the hall floor below. Jonah's parents heard the thud and called an ambulance, which took him to South Tyneside District Hospital where doctors diagnosed a fractured skull. After X-rays and a CT scan, Jonah was transferred to the neurology department at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary, where he spent two days. Now, nine days on from the fall, he is back at home with his parents Kelly, 33, and David Murphy, 39, and older brother, Flynn, five. The orbital bone above his left eye is slowly healing, and the only trace of his accident is a slowly fading black eye. Mrs Murphy said: 'He's doing great now and he's back on his feet, but I really thought we were either going to lose him, or if he survived, he wouldn't be the same little boy he was before. 'By some miracle, he's OK.' She said the accident happened on the first day the little boy began to walk unaided. 'He has been around that area a million times before when he was crawling and there have been no problems,' she said. 'When I saw him lying there on the floor, I thought that was it.' The accident happened when Mrs Murphy was in the kitchen and her husband, a Nissan manufacturing worker, was in an upstairs bedroom. The family had already checked to make sure the baby couldn't fit through the five inch gaps in the bannisters, but didn't realise the one nearest the wall was slightly wider than the rest. The Murphys say there was a towel hanging over the bannister, and believe the baby put his hands out for balance, thinking it was solid, and fell through. Scroll down for video . David Murphy, 39, and wife Kelly, 33, had measured the gaps in their bannisters but one was wider than the rest . Long way down: Jonah with his father in the spot the baby was found after falling from above . The bannisters just outside Jonah's bedroom - which lead to a safety gate - have now been boarded up . Mrs Murphy said: 'The safety gate was closed so we didn't think anything of it. 'I just heard this thud and I screamed, and swooped straight in to pick him up. I think it took a couple of seconds for Jonah to realise what happened and then he started screaming. 'When I heard the thud and saw him on the floor the towel was with him. I just don’t think he would have been able to get through crawling.' She added: 'Up until the results of the CT scan came in, we were scared that we were going to lose Jonah. It was horrific, but thankfully there was no bleeding on his brain. 'Now we just want to prevent this from happening to anyone else.' Back at home: The Murphys now want to warn other parents of the dangers of mobile children and bannisters .

Fatal road accidents are a serious problem in China, where the highway network and number of new drivers are expanding rapidly while traffic laws and safety are widely flouted . At least 42 people were killed when fire engulfed a bus during rush hour in the city of Xiamen, Fujian, in June last year. In August 2012, at least 36 people died when a double-decker sleeper bus slammed into the rear of a methanol tanker and burst into flames in northern China. The ministry of transport says the number of road deaths in China fell from 104,000 in 2003 to 60,000 in 2012, or from about 300 fatalities a day to less than 200. A study published in 2011 by a group of Chinese and US researchers concluded, however, that the number of deadly accidents was two times higher than the police claimed.

Detectives believe they have finally unravelled the identity of 'The Man who fell to Earth' onto a suburban street near Heathrow Airport, thanks to a British woman in Switzerland. It was three months ago the man, an African in his 20s or 30s, plummeted 2,500ft to his death from the undercarriage of what is believed to have been a British Airways plane landing from Luanda, Angola. He hit the ground in Portman Avenue, East Sheen, a wealthy street beneath the flightpath, with only some rudimentary possessions, small change and, crucially, a mobile SIM card in his pockets. Stowaway from Mozambique (right) worked for Brit in South Africa (1) before heading home (2). He was found with money in pockets from Botswana (3) and also headed through Zambia (4) before catching a plane in Angola (5) and falling near East Sheen . Grim: The stowaway's body landed in a suburban street near Heathrow Airport . His identity had been a mystery but . after a pain-staking trawl for information that led them to the woman in . Switzerland, police now believe they know who he is, according to The . Independent. Key: Police made breakthrough after tracing a woman who used to employ the man as a housekeeper. She recognised this tattoo which says ZG, the initials of his nickname . They are not . yet releasing his name publicly but say the victim - referred to as The . Man who fell to Earth in a poem left at the spot where he died - was . from Mozambique. The . breakthrough came when they trailed information found on the SIM, which . opened them up to a world of information about his life. Among . the several Botswanan and Zambian numbers on his Angolan-registered . phone was that of the British-Swiss woman, who had sent him a message . saying: 'I need a favour.' After . several failed attempts at contacting her, the intrigued woman . responded to detectives' messages and told them their description . matched that of the man she had employed as a housekeeper in South .

By . Neil Sears . and David Gardner . and Jessica Jerreat . The relationship between Google co-founder Sergey Brin and the company's marketing manager Amanda Rosenberg may have broken the Internet giant's company code. Miss Rosenberg, who is credited with coming up with the 'OK, Glass' command for Google Glass was named as the new . lover of Brin, 40, yesterday. Google has been rocked by talk of the . romance, and a spokesman yesterday confirmed that Brin – one of the . world’s richest men with a $23 billion fortune – has for several months . been living apart from his wife of six years, and mother of his two children, Anne Wojcicki. Glasses promotion: Rosenberg with boss Brin and fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg in New York . It is not known how long Miss Rosenberg, who was educated at the $48,000-a-year Marlborough College, the same school as the Middletons, has been dating Brin. An unnamed source told the New York Post Brin and his wife were 'still together when Amanda entered the picture'. It is possible the relationship violated Google's company code. Google gossip: Amanda Rosenberg is the . 27-year-old British woman who has struck up a romance with billionaire Google co-founder Sergey Brin . An online version of the code states: 'Romantic relationships between . co-workers can, depending on the work roles and respective positions of . the co-workers involved, create an actual or apparent conflict of . interest'. It added: 'If . a romantic relationship does create an actual or apparent conflict, it . may require changes to work arrangements or even the termination of . employment of either or both individuals involved.' Google goes on to offer a self-test to help employees decide if their relationship could cause a problem. 'When faced with a potential conflict of . interest, ask yourself: would this activity harm my reputation, . negatively impact my ability to do my job at Google or potentially harm . Google? 'Would this activity embarrass Google or me . if it showed up on the front page of a newspaper or a blog?  If . the answer to any of these questions is "yes", the relationship or . situation is likely to create a conflict of interest and you should . avoid it.' Brin is not the first Google executive Miss Rosenberg has been linked to since she transferred to the San Francisco offices last year. She was linked to Hugo Barra, who resigned this week to take a job with Android phone maker Xiaomi in China. His departure comes after 'a recent thorny personal situation related to the end of a romantic relationship he had with another Googler,' the New York Post reported. 'Relationships between senior executives and more-junior employees raise myriad concerns,' James McRitchie, publisher of Corporate Governance, said. 'Dating a subordinate is generally a bad idea, from the company's perspective,' he told Yahoo Finance, adding that it had the potential to damage morale or violate confidentiality. Should Brin and his wife divorce, Californian law suggests their . massive fortune would have to be halved – although they reportedly . signed a strict pre-nuptial agreement. While the internet was agog . with talk of Brin romancing his much younger employee, the Daily Mail . tracked down a distinctly unsurprised former boyfriend of Miss Rosenberg . – who said she ‘knew the power of her womanly ways’. Ewan Butler, . 28, a trainee teacher living with his parents in Darlington, said: . ‘Amanda’s a good looking girl, and she knows she is.' A good looking girl...

Power couple: If Brin and Wojcicki, his wife of six years, divorce, Californian law suggests their . massive fortune would have to be halved - although they reportedly . signed a strict pre-nuptial agreement . Marriage on the rocks: A Google spokesman confirmed that Brin – one of the . world’s richest men – has for several months . been living apart from Wojcicki, the mother . of his two children . 'And she’s good at . “playing” men – she played me.’ Brin’s relationship with Miss Rosenberg . emerged only yesterday – but the pair were pictured together earlier . this year at a New York Fashion Week event, both wearing the . controversial Google Glass computerised spectacles for which she is . marketing manager. An employee of Google since she graduated with a . communications degree from Leeds University, she initially worked for . the internet giant in London before last year moving to San Francisco to . work at its Silicon Valley nerve centre. She soon won a role . promoting Google Glass, widely criticised as the glasses which enable . users to film and broadcast over the internet everything they see . non-stop, worrying privacy campaigners. Miss Rosenberg wrote an . online blog soon after she arrived – describing herself as a . ‘misanthropic Brit struggling to come to terms with Californian . optimism’.

Two single mothers who left their young children locked in a cold and squalid flat for 12 hours while they went out drinking walked free from court today. The pair, aged 25 and 26, drank heavily at the older mother’s home in Gloucester before heading out to the pub at about 11pm and going onto a party where they stayed until 11am the next day. The six-year-old girl and boy, seven, had gone by the time they got back to the flat - having been collected by the police after a neighbour called at 5.40am to say the children were home alone. Avoided jail: The pair, aged 25 and 26, drank heavily at the older mother’s home in Gloucester before heading out to the pub at about 11pm and going onto a party where they stayed until 11am the next day . Officers found that the flat was cold, there was very little food in the kitchen and the only bedding was a thin and dirty duvet with no pillow, Gloucester Crown Court was told. The two mothers pleaded guilty to child neglect and were both sentenced to six months in jail suspended for two years, as well as a supervision order, offender programme and overnight curfew. Judge Euan Ambrose told the pair - who cannot be identified for legal reasons - he only spared them jail to avoid their children suffering further. The judge said: ‘Your decision to go out was utterly irresponsible. It amounted to the two of you putting your own selfish pleasures above the welfare of your children.’ Both children were taken into care after the offence but the boy - the son of the older woman - had been returned to her after four weeks. However, the younger woman’s daughter remains in foster care - although her mother has access to her under supervision three times a week. Sentencing: Gloucester Crown Court (pictured) was told that officers found the flat was cold, there was very little food in the kitchen and the only bedding was a thin and dirty duvet with no pillow . Describing the circumstances found by the police when they arrived at the flat, Mr Kesner said they initially knocked on the door but got no reply - although they could hear movement inside. An officer opened the letterbox and saw the children. He asked if anyone else was in the flat. The boy replied: ‘My mum went to the High Street but she wasn’t here when we woke up.’ Mr Kesner said ‘On looking at the children the officer could see they appeared frightened, uncomfortable and cold. The police therefore opened the door and the little girl was crying. ‘She said she didn’t have anything to wear on her bottom half of her body so the police looked in the boy’s bedroom to see if they could find anything suitable for her to put on. ‘In his bedroom they noticed what is described as his bedding being a thin dirty duvet with no pillow. There were hardly any clothes in the chest of drawers, just a single school uniform and two T-shirts. ‘The police looked for food in the fridge and the kitchen but it was almost bare. I think Your Honour has seen the state of the kitchen with hardly any food in it. ‘All the police noticed were empty bottles of wine and spirits. The little girl was asked when she had last eaten. This was a Saturday morning and she said the last she had eaten was breakfast on Friday morning.’ Both women had previous criminal convictions but not for any relevant offences, Mr Kesner said. The girl’s mum had a drug conviction on her record. Lloyd Jenkins, for the girl’s mother, said: ‘There are no excuses. On April 25 she was extremely selfish. She decided to have a night out and ignore the welfare of her daughter. ‘What she did was deplorable. She is ashamed of what she did and regrets her behaviour. She has said “I don’t know what came over me”.’ The woman had a history of depression, anxiety and alcoholism but since November last year had stopped drinking apart from a lapse over Christmas, he said. Her abusive partner was now out of her life having been sentenced to six and a half years imprisonment for grievous bodily harm, he added. Joe Maloney, for the boy’s mother, said the woman realised how stupid she had been and how much the children were at risk. ‘There have been no further difficulties since (her son) was returned to her,’ said Mr Maloney. ‘She is determined to ensure this sort of incident does not take place again.'

A coroner says a 79-year-old hunter found dead in the western Pennsylvania woods accidentally shot himself with his own rifle. The body of James Turnbull, of White Township, was discovered by another deer hunter shortly before 5 pm Wednesday in a wooded area of the township. Indiana County Coroner Jerry Overman Jr. says in a news release Thursday that, 'Foul play or involvement by another hunter has been ruled out.' Tragic: A Pennsylvania hunter, 79, accidentally shot himself dead while hunting deer on Wednesday [stock image] . What's unclear is how the gun went off. The Pennsylvania Game Commission, state police and the coroner were continuing to investigate. White Township is about 45 miles northeast of Pittsburgh. A similar tragedy occurred just last month in neighboring New Jersey where authorities say a goose hunter who was out with his father died after he accidentally shot himself in the head and neck. The victim, identified only as a 45-year-old Chesterfield man, was pronounced dead at the scene. The father apparently was not injured. Authorities say the two men were hunting by themselves and had Canada goose decoys spread out in front of their blind. They said both men were properly licensed to hunt the birds. And in Maine, wardens say that days before a 30-year-old Mattawamkeag man shot himself in the arm and torso when he lost his footing along a riverbank, causing his rifle to discharge. Wardens say Aaron Burke was in serious condition after being shot Thursday morning. Wardens say he was hunting deer along the Mattawamkeag River when he slipped, causing his 30-30 rifle to discharge. Wardens say he managed to climb a riverbank and make his way out of the woods to call for help.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 00:23 EST, 12 September 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 08:56 EST, 12 September 2012 . A cross-dressing man was charged with murder of a woman who he gave an illegal butt implant. Morris Garner, who dresses like a woman and calls himself Tracey Lynn Garner, was charged with depraved-heart murder meaning he had a callous disregard for the life of his victim. Garner, 52, is charged with the death of Karima Gordon, who travelled from Atlanta, Georgia to Morris' Jackson, Mississippi home to receive the treatment. Mississippi attorney general Jim Hood said that Garner had no training or official license to carry out that type of procedure. Charged: Morris Garner, a man who has undergone some gender reassignment surgeries and refers to himself as Tracey Lynn Garner, faces a life sentence for the death of one of his patients . Depraved heart: In keeping with Mississippi law, Garner was charged with depraved-heart murder meaning that the crime displays a lack of empathy for the victim . Ms Gordon, 37, died several days after the injection took place in late March 2011. Victim: Karima Gordon travelled from Atlanta to Jackson to receive the illegal treatment . It has yet to be determined whether or not the implant that Garner used was real or counterfeit silicone and authorities are urging any other patients who were treated by Garner to come forward. Garner appeared in court on Tuesday wearing the court-ordered yellow jumpsuit and had his hair up in a ponytail. While Garner said that he had undergone gender reassignment surgery, he was booked into court as a man. According to the Associated Press, Ms Gordon had previously served in the military but was working as an adult entertainer at the time of her death. Investigators determined that she got in touch with Garner, who worked as a floral and interior designer alongside his makeshift cosmetic business, through a person known only as Pebbles. Middleman: Ms Gordon got the name of Garner through a middleman who has not yet been identified by police aside from the name that Ms Gordon used to contact the person- which was Pebbles . Ms Gordon travelled to New York City to meet with Pebbles. During that meeting, Ms Gordon paid $200 to get a referral for Garner. Ms Gordon later travelled to Jackson with a friend to have the injection. She began feeling ill several hours into the car ride back to Atlanta and when she called Garner for advice, he told her to take some cough syrup. Deaths from illegal cosmetic procedures happen sporadically around the country. A New Jersey woman is currently charged with giving a fatal dose of silicone during a penile enhancement.

(CNN) -- At the end of a bitter political season too often hijacked by the extremes, the Rally to Restore Sanity was a heartening reaffirmation of American humor, smarts and civility. This year's previous political rallies on the Washington mall -- Glenn Beck's "Restore Honor" rally and the labor/liberal corollary "One Nation" rally emceed by Ed Schultz -- seemed like grim partisan marches compared to the optimism of this overflowing crowd composed of Americans from the sensible center. While Beck asked his supporters not to bring signs (presumably for fear of the distractions they might create) and Schultz's rally signs were mostly printed up by unions and activist groups, the signs at the Restore Sanity rally were clearly homemade. And like hosts Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, they used satire to comment on the political insanity that surrounds us. Among the signs I saw: . • God Hates Nags . • The Rant Is Too Damn High . • Restrain the Craziness . • Civil War was an Inside Job . • Texans for Staying in the Union . • Obama: At Least He Isn't James Buchanan . • Hitler was Hitler . • Want Less Government? Move to Somalia (not that there's anything wrong with that...) • Real Patriots Can Handle a Difference of Opinion . • Real Americans Don't Use the Term 'Real Americans' • I read the Constitution for the Articles . • I Masturbate and I Vote . • Moderate to the Extreme . The content from the stage was essentially a comedy show mixed with musical guests. The message was communicated mostly in "show don't tell" sketches. In one, Yusuf Islam, the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, came out to play the hippie anthem "Peace Train," interrupted by Ozzy Osbourne playing "Crazy Train" -- culminating with the O'Jays "Love Train," a train we can all get on board. But the crowd was making a fairly consistent, if irreverent, political statement -- from the couple who drove up from Florida with a sign that quoted from a '70s pop song: "Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, here I am -- stuck in the middle with you," to a sign that read, "What do we want? Moderation! When do we want it? In a reasonable timeframe!" College students from Massachusetts made their point for the media: "Can we get some airtime, please? -- The Moderates." "I think there's too much polarization going on -- and of course the squeaky wheel gets the grease," said Reba Winstead of Virginia, whose husband was laid off last year. She was holding a sign that read "One of the Moderate Majority." "And so the extremists on both ends are the ones screaming the loudest and so the rest of us are in the middle thinking that we're not being heard." Another woman held a sign that quoted legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow: "We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason." Some partisan journalists tried to spin the rally as just a liberal event, but they missed the point by reinforcing the idea that has helped get us into this mess: that if you're not with us, you're against us; that if you're not conservative, you're liberal. In fact, the only two signs I saw for actual candidates running this fall were for independents Lincoln Chafee and Charlie Crist. And while there was no shortage of anger expressed, at Fox News in particular, at what other rally would you see a sign that read: "Palin and Pelosi: Both Nice Ladies." More opinion on topics in the news . In comparing rallies, size matters -- and having covered the conservative and liberal rallies on the mall earlier this year, I can tell you that the Restore Sanity rally was much larger. This is fitting, because there are more Americans in the center than those who are on the right or left. And there are certainly more Americans who prefer the leavening effects of laughter to ideological fear-mongering. But for all the humor and affirmation, the Restore Sanity rally ultimately had a serious point that will apply when the election is over -- namely, that we have to work together to solve problems, but our polarized politics and the partisan media are stopping our ability to reason together as Americans. As Jon Stewart said in his instant classic of a closing speech: "Why would you work with Marxists actively subverting our Constitution or racists and homophobes who see no one's humanity but their own? We hear every damn day about how fragile our country is -- on the brink of catastrophe -- torn by polarizing hate, and how it's a shame that we can't work together to get things done. But the truth is we do. We work together to get things done every damn day. The only place we don't is here [in Washington] or on cable TV." So this celebration of sanity and humor came with a challenge to hyperpartisans in politics and media -- stop playing to the lowest common denominator, stop trying to divide Americans in an attempt to conquer. The American people are smart and "most Americans don't live their lives solely as Democrats or Republicans or conservatives or liberals," as Stewart remarked. The rally's size and enthusiasm was evidence of a growing demand for something different -- an alternative to predictable talking points and the partisan spin cycle, a desire for humor and honesty, independence and integrity. It is both an opportunity and an obligation. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of John P. Avlon.
John Avlon: The "Restore Sanity" rally emphasized moderation and humor . He says the big crowd yearned for an alternative to extreme partisanship . Avlon says some tried to spin it as a liberal event, but the real theme was a centrist one . Hyperpartisans should "stop trying to divide Americans in an attempt to conquer," he says .

While Beck asked his supporters", "not to bring signs (presumably for fear of the", "distractions they might create) and Schultz's", "rally signs were mostly printed up by unions and", "activist groups, the signs at the Restore Sanity", "rally were clearly homemade.

In one, Yusuf Islam,", "the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, came", "out to play the hippie anthem \"Peace Train,\"", "interrupted by Ozzy Osbourne playing \"Crazy", "Train\" -- culminating with the O'Jays \"Love", "Train,\" a train we can all get on board.

An 11-year-old girl ran away from a man in a white commercial van who attempted to abduct her from a Melbourne street. The man pulled up in the van, which had no windows, alongside the girl as she was walking along Francis St in Yarraville, an inner west Melbourne suburb, at about 3.25pm on Monday last week. Police have obtained security camera footage of a suspect van in the area soon after the September 8 incident which was being driven erratically. Detective Senior Constable Brendan O'Mahoney said the driver repeatedly asked the girl to get in the van when she became scared and ran home to alert her parents.

By . Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor . PUBLISHED: . 05:43 EST, 25 July 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 06:51 EST, 25 July 2013 . The police have refused to get involved in the increasingly bitter row between Ed Miliband's Labour party and his union paymasters. Officers today said they have found ‘insufficient grounds’ to launch a criminal probe into allegations of vote-rigging to select the party's new candidate in the Falkirk. Two senior party figures were suspended over claims the Unite union sought to fix the candidate election by flooding the local party with left-wing members. Labour leader Ed Miliband ordered a party dossier to be handed over to police to investigate claims of criminal wrongdoing in Falkirk . As the scandal threatened to engulf Mr Miliband's leadership earlier this month, the Labour party handed over an internal dossier to police in Scotland on Unite activity in Falkirk. But police said today there was not enough evidence currently to support a criminal investigation. A Police Scotland spokeswoman said if additional information came to light, this would be examined. She said: ‘Following a comprehensive review of all material submitted, Police Scotland has concluded there are insufficient grounds to support a criminal investigation at this time. ‘However, should further information come to light, this will be looked into.’ The row over the selection of a candidate to contest the seat, currently held by Eric Joyce, has sparked the biggest crisis for Mr Miliband took over as leader of the party. It put him on a collision course with Unite general secretary Len McCluskey, who has threatened to withhold millions of pounds in union backing without having influence on party policy. The vacancy emerged when Mr Joyce was kicked out of the Labour Party after committing an assault in a House of Commons bar. Threat: Unite general secretary Len McCluskey has warned his union will stop automatically 'handing over' millions of pounds to Labour . Last month Labour put the Falkirk constituency party under 'special measures' after an internal report raised concerns over the selection of a candidate for the next general election. This suggested that the local constituency may have been packed with new members in a bid to influence the choice of candidate. Labour went on to hand over documents to the police about claims that the Unite union had tried to fix the result of the candidate selection process by packing the constituency with members whose subscriptions it had paid. But the party's actions sparked a bitter dispute between it and Unite, whose leader Len McCluskey has dismissed the allegations as ‘nonsense’ and has claimed there is a  ‘smear campaign’ against the union. The dispute resulted in Karie Murphy, who was said to have been Unite's preferred candidate to fight the seat in 2015, and constituency chairman Stephen Deans being suspended from the party. Meanwhile, election co-ordinator Tom Watson - who has close links with Unite - stepped down from the Shadow Cabinet. In the wake of the Falkirk row, Mr Miliband has said he wants to ‘build a new way of doing politics' and turn Labour into a mass-membership party 'powered by the people'. Candidate: Karie Murphy, thought to be Unite's preferred candidate in Falkirk, as suspended from the party as the scandal erupted . Earlier this week, the Labour leader unveiled plans to hold a special conference next spring to seek the backing of his party for 'historic' reform to its links with the trade unions. Mr Miliband has already announced that he wants members of trade unions affiliated to Labour to be given the chance to 'opt in' to membership of the party, replacing a system where their political fund levy is automatically passed on to Labour unless they opt out. The move is designed to boost Labour membership from its current 200,000 and loosen the financial hold of union bosses over the party, but unions have warned that it could cost millions of pounds in lost donations. Vacancy: Labour had to launch a hunt for a new candidate in Falkirk after Eric Joyce quit . A Unite spokesman said: ‘Unite welcomes the police decision not to investigate the Falkirk selection, which appears to be based on an overdue application of common sense to the situation. ‘Unite reaffirms what it has always said - the union broke neither Labour Party rules nor the law in Falkirk. Those in the media who have smeared the union without evidence or justification should now hang their heads in shame. ‘We would hope that Labour will now lift the suspensions of Stevie Deans and Karie Murphy, agree to an independent investigation into what happened in Falkirk, and restore full rights to the constituency party as soon as possible.’ A Labour Party spokesman said: ‘As a result of the police decision, we will now pursue disciplinary action as a matter of urgency. ‘The internal Labour inquiry found there was enough evidence to concern us about membership recruitment in Falkirk. ‘We will act on this swiftly and thoroughly as we have done throughout this matter.’ However Scottish National Party's MSP for Falkirk West, Michael Matheson, said: ‘It is clear that this complaint to the police was little more than a stunt to divert attention from the Labour Party's own failure to deal with the crisis in Falkirk, and a waste of valuable police time. ‘Ed Miliband was happy to share this report with the police, but Labour's Scottish Executive has been kept completely in the dark - clearly London remains firmly in control. ‘Johann Lamont claimed she was the leader of all parts of the Labour Party in Scotland, but it is clear that her leadership is in name only, and Westminster is still calling the shots. ‘The people of Falkirk deserve so much better than this.’

(CNN) -- Every year, I wholeheartedly embrace "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" as a chance for my two girls to see why, besides the need to make an income, mommy would spend hours away from them. Seeing where I work, with whom I work and how we have a "cool" vending machine filled with snacks such as Gummy Bears has helped them understand what I do and why. And that's precisely the motivation behind the latest incarnation of "Take Your Daughter/Child/Dog to Work Day." (Yes, there is actually a visiting day for dog-lovers!) On Thursday, 28 companies in 14 countries will be hosting "LinkedIn Bring in Your Parents Day," the first event of its kind created and sponsored by the popular social networking site for professionals. Individual companies, such as Google, have hosted their own day for parents, but LinkedIn said its event will mark the first time so many companies are participating at once. Bring your mom and dad to work? At first glance, it sounds like just another opportunity for so-called helicopter parents to get overly involved in their kids' lives. First they were calling up admissions counselors, and then pressing employers for jobs and benefits for their kids. Now they're actually going into their kids' offices? This can't be good! But after speaking to parents who plan to visit their adult children's workplaces, as well as those grown-up workers and parenting experts, this seems less like a sign of helicopter parenting run amok and more like a way to bridge the very real digital generation gap. 'My parents have never really understood what I do' For Hector Hernandez, 31, a senior business relationship manager at LinkedIn, the day is a chance to finally show his folks what he does and perhaps bring an end to pressures to go into a traditional career his parents more fully understand. "Since I graduated from college, I got into marketing, I got into tech, and my parents have never really understood what I do," he said with a laugh. "My parents, they're professors, they know academia very well, but they don't have a single clue how you make money in Internet. "They can come and see this is what I do. This is how I add value to society. Please stop asking me to go back to law school or go back to med school because I'm doing pretty well," said Hernandez. Hector's dad, Gaston Hernandez, teaches mathematics at the University of Connecticut. When I asked him what his son does for a living, he chuckled. "I still don't understand exactly what he does," said the elder Hernandez, who admits part of the issue is his son works in a business that didn't exist years earlier. "Lawyers, architects, you know more because you grew up with that." He said he "naturally" expected his kids would pursue one of those more "traditional" professions. Survey: A third of parents don't know what their kids do . Gaston Hernandez is definitely not alone. One in three parents, according to a LinkedIn survey, said they are not completely familiar with what their children do. Alice Osterman, whose daughter Elizabeth Brown is vice president for human resources for the online real estate site Trulia, said she doesn't even try to explain to friends what her daughter, the youngest of six children, does. "I tell (friends) the company, and that's good for them," she said from her home in Alamo, California. "I don't actually tell what she does day by day, because I don't know." Paul Osterman said he doesn't know what his daughter does, either, and looks forward to getting some answers. "All of our children complain about how tired they are when they work. I'd like to go there and see what they actually do for their paycheck," he said as his wife and daughter cracked up. "I was also thinking it would be very interesting to talk to her boss because we know ... all of her little problems growing up and it might do him some good if he heard it from us," the former manager for Ford dealerships said. "Uh-oh, Elizabeth, are you having second thoughts about having your mom and dad come to your office?" I had to ask. "Yeah, definitely," the San Francisco-based mom of two kids, 9 and 10, joked. But all kidding aside, she looks forward to the chance for her parents to see what she does so they can relate more to her professional experience. "I'm arguably at work more than I am at home with my own family, so it's all about relating," she said. "It'll be nice to have them come and get a glimpse of what I'm talking about and sort of the vibe of how the workplace has changed since they've been in the workplace and maybe better relate to my stories about work." Getting advice from parents . Part of the goal, said LinkedIn executives, is helping parents have a better understanding of what their kids do so they can provide advice about work. In the company's global survey, 50% of parents said they feel they could help their child if they had a better understanding of what they did. "We believe that parents do have a lot of wisdom to share with their children, but if they don't understand exactly what it is they do, sometimes it can be hard to give that advice," said Catherine Fisher, LinkedIn's director of corporate communications. "We want to bridge that gap." Parenting expert and clinical psychologist Madeline Levine, author of two New York Times best-selling books including "Teach Your Children Well," says the visits could seal that gap between "the digital natives and us immigrants." But, she says, the event shouldn't be an excuse for parents "to stick their nose in their kids' business." She said participating companies would be wise to make that very clear. "If the parent comes home and says, 'I noticed that so and so's mother was saying she made more money than you made, what's that about?' Then it's a disaster," said Levine, a mom of three grown sons. The anti-helicopter parent . Neither the Hernandez family nor the Ostermans show any signs of taking this experiment too far. In fact, when I asked them if they were helicopter parents, they laughed. "Actually, we sometimes criticized ourselves," said Hernandez, who moved to the U.S. from Chile. "We didn't get involved enough." Alice Osterman said, "Our attitude on parenthood is to have them well-educated, train them morally and spiritually ... and then, 'Good luck.' " "My idea was just to say, 'OK, you're 21 kid. Get going,'" said Paul Osterman, without missing a beat. (The couple has been married for nearly 60 years.) Brown, the Ostermans' daughter, said she doesn't think the idea of this day perpetuates the notion of helicopter parenting. "I think it more just acknowledges that the lines are being blurred between work and home and so why not lean in to that and make sure that everyone can appreciate everyone's experience," she added. She's looking forward to a session where the participating parents will give her and her colleagues advice and just having her parents get a glimpse into her work environment. "People sitting on yoga balls at their desks and all the food in the kitchen," she said. "Things that I talk to them about, but it's almost beyond their imagination." Her dad chimed in: "She's also hoping her father will keep his mouth shut." Follow Kelly Wallace on Twitter and like CNN Living on Facebook.

By . Rebecca English . PUBLISHED: . 07:27 EST, 30 October 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 20:58 EST, 30 October 2013 . She hasn’t been welcomed into the firm just yet. But if ever there was a sign that Cressida Bonas is inching ever closer to the royal seal of approval – and well and truly winning over Prince Harry – then this is it. It has emerged Harry has invited his girlfriend of 18 months to shoot at the Queen’s Sandringham estate on several occasions. Most recently he was given the run of his grandmother’s private home in Norfolk two weekends ago when he invited a group of friends, including Miss Bonas, 24. Close: Prince Harry and Cressida Bonas on a date earlier this month, just before they spent a weekend together at Sandringham in Norfolk . Out on the town: Prince Harry was LouLou's Private Members Club in . Mayfair watching a special performance by Buena Vista Social Club until 3am last night . The lively party enjoyed three days of countryside pursuits laid on by Harry and the Queen’s private gamekeepers and staff. Neither the Queen nor the Duke of . Edinburgh were present so it would be wide of the mark to say that Miss . Bonas has received ‘the royal seal of approval’. Indeed shooting parties are held . frequently by Prince Charles and his sons when the Queen is not in . residence, and the Daily Mail understands Miss Bonas has attended . several such gatherings before. But her presence at Sandringham earlier this month is a sign that the couple’s romance is going from strength to strength. Sources say Harry, 29, is ‘incredibly . serious’ about her. In recent weeks the pair have been seen out on . several dates, including to musical The Book Of Mormon, and a James . Blunt gig, a favourite pop singer of the prince. They also holidayed together in Botswana over the summer with a group of friends. Fun with friends: Harry and Cressida are said to be 'incredibly serious', and spent a weekend shooting two weeks ago . But the prince is also fiercely . determined to protect Miss Bonas from the glare of publicity that being a . royal girlfriend brings. He is acutely aware that this pressure . ‘spooked’ his previous long-term love Chelsy Davy, whom he broke up with . after seven years shortly after his brother’s wedding in 2011. A well-placed source said yesterday: . ‘Harry and his brother are given a weekend each at Sandringham when they . can ask some friends to join them. 'Nothing more to it. The two seem to . get on well together but it is too early to say yet what the future . holds.’ Going strong: It is now a year since the pair became boyfriend and girlfriend, having first been introduced by his cousin and her best friend, Princess Eugenie . Harry, who earlier this year returned . from a tour of duty in Afghanistan as an Apache attack helicopter . pilot, and Miss Bonas were introduced more than a year ago by his cousin . and her best friend, Princess Eugenie.

By . Mark Duell . A 151-year-old house that was the first in the world to be lit using hydroelectricity is once again harnessing the power of water to light the property. Cragside, in Northumberland, was built by Lord Armstrong in 1863 and he used lakes on the estate to generate electricity through a turbine. A 56ft (17-metre) Archimedes screw has now been installed which will use water to produce enough energy to light the 350 bulbs in the house.

Once described as a 'a palace of the modern magician', Cragside House was the first building in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity. The estate, which has more an 30 miles of footpaths and lakeside walks, features gadgets well ahead of its time such as fire alarm buttons, telephones, a passenger lift and a Turkish bath suite. It is also home to one of Europe's largest rock gardens, and features one of the oldest iron bridges of its type in Britain. In fact, its 140-year-old Scots pine tree has been verified as Britain’s tallest tree – measuring 131ft (40m). The property was created in 1863 by inventor and landscaper Lord William Armstrong, his wife Lady Margaret Armstrong, and their architect Richard Norman Shaw. Lord Armstrong became a solicitor after leaving school, but had always had an interest in mechanics - and often took apart toys as a child to find out how they worked. He became a civil and mechanical engineer and started on Cragside aged 53, before developing hydroelectricity there in 1878. Light bulbs were installed there in 1880 and visitors travelled for miles to see how he had turned the power of water into electric light. Lord Armstrong was also an armaments magnate, and effectively became chief gun manufacturer to the British Army after being knighted in 1859. He was behind the accurate and practical Armstrong Gun, a breech-loader which re-equipped the Army after the Crimean War. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Damien Baxendale was jailed for 10 years after he left his girlfriend so badly injured doctors said it was like she had been in a 'serious car crash' A vicious thug punched and kicked his girlfriend so hard doctors said it was like she had been in a car crash after she suffered a bleed on the brain, a fractured vertebrae and a fractured eye socket. Damien Baxendale was jailed for 10 years after he left 23-year-old Chelsea Hayes unconscious, her clothing torn and blood splattered around the rooms at his flat in Bolton, Greater Manchester. She was so badly swollen her three-year-old daughter, Shernia, did not recognise her and she now suffers from back pain, headaches, nausea, dizziness, poor memory and depression. Rachel White, prosecuting, told Bolton Crown Court that a neighbour saw the 24-year-old outside his flat at 3am on August 3 last year, kicking someone in the face 'as if he was kicking a football'. When police officers arrived, Baxendale refused to let them in, claiming Miss Hayes was asleep, but relented when they threatened to force their way in. Miss White told the court: 'Inside was covered with blood all over and it looked as if a struggle had taken place. 'Chelsea Hayes was severely injured, gagging and unconscious.' Baxendale claimed Miss Hayes had been drunk telling police it was 'all her own fault' and claiming she had banged her head. While his girlfriend lay unconscious in hospital Baxendale told officers: 'When she wakes up she will verify everything I have said.' The court heard Miss Hayes spent 10 days in hospital and could not remember anything about that night. Chelsea Hayes, 23, pictured left after her attack and right, bruised and swollen after she was beaten by her boyfriend Damien Baxendale. She had a bleed on the brain and needed her eye socket reconstructed . Miss Hayes had to have a metal plate installed in her cheek bone to reconstruct her face and surgeons went in via her eye socket, which is now scarred (pictured) Miss White said: 'It is the kind of injury usually seen in road traffic collisions.' He left her with a bleed on the brain, two fractured vertebrae, a fractured eye socket which had to be reconstructed, damaged neck ligaments, black eyes and lips so swollen she could not open her mouth. The court heard Baxendale was granted bail in February this year but almost exactly a year later, on August 2 he was arrested again after a violent street attack on another girlfriend. At 5am a resident called police after seeing Baxendale kick the woman in the side and repeatedly punch her in the face. Her injuries included a fractured nose and bruised and swollen face. Baxendale, of Bolton, Greater Manchester, pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent and causing grievous bodily harm. The couple pictured together, left, and Miss Hayes three-year-old daughter Shernia, right, who did not recognise her mother after the attack because she was so badly swollen . Colin Buckle, defending, said his client 'knows he does not deserve the clemency of the court'. Baxendale was jailed for ten years, with a further four on licence for the attack and second violent assault. Judge Peter Davies said: 'They were savage, brutal, ferocious and frenzied assaults.' He told him that he regarded him as a dangerous offender who posed a serious risk to the public and he did not accept he was remorseful. Members of Miss Hayes' family cheered and applauded as Baxendale was sentenced. Some of the damage caused to a door during the assault at Baxendale's flat in Bolton in August last year .
