Mercedes, keen to show they have a grip of the fractious situation, called both drivers to the team’s factory in Brackley on Friday to discuss the second-lap incident that later forced Hamilton to retire from the race. The pair met in the boardroom for two hours with Toto Wolff, Mercedes motorsport’s executive director, and Paddy Lowe, the technical director. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Nico Rosberg: I prefer to keep fall out with Lewis internal . Coming together: Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton crashed at last weekend's Belgian Grand Prix . Flashpoint: The two title rivals collided for the first time this season at round 13 of the world championship . Afterwards Mercedes issued a statement, saying: ‘During this meeting, Nico acknowledged his responsibility for the contact and apologised for this error of judgment. ‘Suitable disciplinary measures have been taken. ‘Lewis and Nico understand and accept the team’s No 1 rule: there must be no contact between the team’s cars on track. ‘It has been made clear that another such incident will not be tolerated. But Nico and Lewis are our drivers and we believe in them. They remain free to race.’ Although Mercedes’ idea of transparency did not extend to revealing the nature of the ‘disciplinary measures’, Sportsmail understands Rosberg’s fine will go to charity. Both men issued statements after the meeting. Reflecting on the incident, when the drivers collided as Rosberg attempted to overtake at the Les Combes chicane, the German offered an apology to his British team-mate.

Rosberg, who leads Hamilton by 29 points at the top of the drivers’ world championship standings, said: ‘The No 1 rule for us as team-mates is that we must not collide — but that is exactly what happened. ‘For that error of judgment, I apologise to Lewis and the team. ‘I also want to say sorry to the fans who were deprived of our battle in Belgium. ‘Lewis and I have been given clear instructions about how we race each other. ‘As drivers, we have a clear responsibility to the team, the fans of the sport, our partners and Mercedes-Benz to deliver clean racing. ‘We take that responsibility very seriously. I look forward to concluding the season with hard, fair competition on and off track right up to the final lap of the season in Abu Dhabi.’ Sorry: Hamilton said he and Nico had 'both made mistakes' in his statement issued on Friday afternoon . Hamilton, who had revealed details of an internal team meeting held soon after the race, escaped without punishment for that particular indiscretion but he admitted: ‘Nico and I accept that we have both made mistakes and I feel it would be wrong to point fingers and say which one is worse than the other. ‘What’s important is how we rise as a team from these situations. ‘We win and we lose together and, as a team, we will emerge stronger. ‘There is a deep foundation that still exists for me and Nico to work from, in spite of our difficult times and differences. ‘It’s going to be a tough road from here but championships have been won from much further back than I am now.’ Podium finish: Rosberg finished second at the Belgian GP to extend his lead in the championship to 29 points ." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mercedes have taken 'suitable disciplinary measures' against Rosberg .\nThe German 'acknowledged' his role in the crash on lap 2 of the Belgian GP .\nHe has since issued an apology to the team and rival for F1 title Hamilton .\nHamilton has said 'it would be wrong to point fingers' in statement .\nToto Wolff, Paddy Lowe, Hamilton and Rosberg held crunch meeting at Mercedes HQ in Brackley on Friday to discuss fall-out from Spa .\nThe rivals for this year's title will however, be free to race for rest of season .\nMercedes have said they 'remain committed to hard, fair racing'" } ]

Brendan Rodgers was asked about Balotelli’s reputation for attracting trouble at his former Premier League club. Despite his sky blue surroundings he did not hold back. ‘I spent three-and-a-half hours just talking him through Liverpool,’ he said. ‘It’s a massive club and it’s a different club. It’s a family club with strong family values and ethics over many years. Behaviour is very important here.’ At City, it is fair to say there was a sharp intake of breath. Rodgers may not have intended a slight but it was certainly taken that way. City executives felt he had implied that Liverpool possessed morals that were not present elsewhere. Balotelli would be safer with them than he was at Manchester City. VIDEO Scroll down for Brendan Rodgers responds to recent Mario Balotelli controversy . Mario Balotelli posted the image (left) on Instagram on Monday and (right) out in Manchester on Sunday night . Brendan Rodgers is beginning to realise how much of a handful Balotelli can be, even when he doesn't mean it . If taking out likes of Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure in penalty area becomes smart option, football will be guilty of foul play . Slowly, Rodgers has discovered the truth. It was not that City did not care about Balotelli’s behaviour. There was no issue around ethics, or values. The problem was the player, not the club. Rodgers could talk Balotelli through the Liverpool way for three-and-a-half months, let alone three-and-a-half weeks, and it would make no difference. If Mario wants to let off a firework, he lets off a firework. If Mario wants to throw darts, he throws darts. And if Mario wants to post a message against racism, he inadvertently insults the Jews. That’s just Mario. And that wasn’t Rodgers’ only miscalculation that evening. ‘He’s a very bright boy, he’s very clever,’ he said of Balotelli. Really? Is he? He posted the phrase ‘jumps like a black man and grabs coins like a Jew’ as a message of inclusivity. He might not be the intellectual titan of Rodgers’ imagination. Balotelli has struggled on the pitch for Liverpool and is becoming more of a problem off it, too . The Liverpool striker was criticised for swapping his shirt with Pepe during half-time of the loss to Real Madrid . VIDEO Balotelli apologies for racist tweet . Indeed, the only reason Balotelli’s post does not appear to have attracted the same widespread disgust as Nicolas Anelka’s anti-Semitic quenelle gesture is because he is presumed to be almost childlike in his perspectives. Whereas Anelka’s message was insidious and knowing, Balotelli gormlessly failed to spot an ideological timebomb in what he thought was a positive statement. His post was brightly coloured and the cartoon man shared his name. On realising his mistake he deleted and apologised. Still, the damage is done, the Football Association machine is in motion and Liverpool will have to deal with the fall-out, whether Balotelli gets a ban, or merely a fine and another round of negative publicity. His problems are their problems now. Balotelli invites trouble and, through him, so do Liverpool. Rodgers cannot say he wasn’t warned.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told members of parliament in Tehran that Iran must be armed and 'have the capability to defend itself' in a 'world full of thieves'. His comments came as negotiations with the international community over Iran's nuclear programme ran into a stalemate, with Tehran saying world powers were 'demanding too much'. 'Battle and jihad are endless': Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, pictured in 2009. He yesterday told MPs in Tehran that 'battle will only end when society can get rid of the oppressors' front with America at the head' 'Battle and jihad are endless because evil and its front continue to exist,' Khamenei told MPs, according to a translation by U.S. news site The Daily Caller. 'This battle will only end when the society can get rid of the oppressors’ front with America at the head of it, which has expanded its claws on human mind, body and thought. 'This requires a difficult and lengthy struggle and need for great strides.' The Daily Caller's translation of a Fars News Agency report is by a reporter pseudonymously bylined Reza Khalili, who claims to be a former CIA agent in Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Khamenei's address to Parliament on Sunday continued with veiled references to the actions of the West and Arab states as he justified Iran's continued defiance of international sanctions against its nuclear programme. 'Logic and reason command that for Iran, in order to pass through a region full of pirates, needs to arm itself and must have the capability to defend itself,' he said. 'They should stop demanding too much': Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who says the impasse in nuclear talks is not his fault . 'Today’s world is full of thieves and plunderers of human honour, dignity and morality who are equipped with knowledge, wealth and power, and under the pretense of humanity easily commit crimes and betray human ideals and start wars in different parts of the world.' There has been little progress in the latest round of nuclear talks between Tehran and the U.S., Russia, France, Britain, China - the five permanent members of the UN Security Council - and Germany. Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, speaking in Tehran today before a visit to Turkey for talks with European Union foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, laid the blame for the impasse at the feet of the six powers. 'They should stop demanding too much. We have our red line, and they too want assurances that our nuclear programme will always remain peaceful. We believe these two add up,' he was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA. 'I feel the realism awakened from the last round of talks will bring us closer to conclusion. We may be able to remove one of two of the previous hurdles, or rather face new ones. In any case, we should make an effort to pass through this phase.' Iran considers the right to enrich uranium for nuclear energy a red line but that levels of enrichment are negotiable. Enriched uranium provides fuel for nuclear generating stations but it is also, if refined to a high level, the key ingredient for atomic bombs. Western powers claim Iran's declared civilian nuclear energy programme is a facade for seeking a weapons capability. Iran denies this but it has a history of hiding activity from U.N. nuclear inspectors. The powers want Iran to agree to scale back enrichment and other nuclear activity and accept tougher U.N. inspections to prove it can't quickly build atomic bombs, in exchange for an end to economic sanctions. But Mr Zarif said world powers should refrain from additional pressure on the Islamic Republic to force it into concessions. 'Sanctions haven't served them any purpose, only led to our making 19,000 centrifuges,' he said, according to IRNA, referring to the machines that enrich uranium." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Ali Khamenei says Iran must arm to defend itself in 'world full of thieves'\nComments come as talks over Iran's nuclear programme run into stalemate ." } ]

Alan Hansen fittingly hangs up his broadcast boots at the end of the biggest game in world football, in a country that simply oozes its love for the sport. A little while ago he decided it would be both the perfect match, and the perfect moment, to head into retirement with his latest BBC contract having fully run its course. VIDEO Scroll down to hear Alan Hansen say you can't win anything with kids . Match of the Day master: Alan Hansen will hang up his mic this Sunday after 22 years of loyal service as a Match of the Day pundit. His final appearance in the studio will come during the BBC's coverage of the World Cup final between Germany and Argentina at the Maracana . Stalwarts: Alan Hansen and Alan Shearer (right) have become familiar faces on the BBC's iconic Saturday night highlights show . Final line-up: Hansen has announced the current World Cup in Brazil as his last for the BBC. He is pictured here in a pre-tournament picture with (from left) Alan Shearer, Rio Ferdinand, Gary Lineker, Thierry Henry and Gabby Logan . He was a class act as a footballer; an elegant defender who helped provide the central spine of several great Liverpool teams. Hansen retired shortly after his close friend Kenny Dalglish dramatically left Anfield in 1991. A short break followed before ‘Big Al’ had to decide which direction the rest of his life would take him, prompted no doubt by his lovely wife Janet. Some early work with a fledgling Sky Sports and BBC Radio 5 Live opened up broadcasting as a possible future career path. He had already decided football management wasn’t for him. I had known Alan for several years and was looking to put a new on-screen team together for the return of that regular Saturday night institution Match of the Day. The much-loved programme was about to feature English football’s new big thing, the Premier League. Alan was the perfect fit. He had a personal trophy cabinet full to bursting, was articulate and knowledgeable about his sport, and he was a handsome so-and-so. Born winner: Hansen, the Liverpool captain, holds the FA Cup aloft after beating Everton in the 1986 final at Wembley . Sheer delight: Hansen punches the air as Liverpool beat Chelsea 1-0 at Stamford Bridge to secure the First Division title in May 1986 . Never out of his depth: Hansen after his first European Cup triumph with Liverpool in 1978 . Early days: Hansen alongside presenter Des Lynam and fellow pundit Sir Trevor Brooking (as well as some eye-catching ties) during his first years on the show . Alan joined the hugely-respected Desmond Lynam and the wonderfully controversial Jimmy Hill. When the new series of Match of the Day got under way, Alan was on board but learning a new craft. As editor of the programme I tried to assist him in his early shows. I said: ‘Alan, I’ve watched a thousand matches and you’ve played a thousand matches, let’s watch the same match being relayed into BBC TV Centre on Saturday afternoon and your target should be to spot something I don’t and make that the subject of your analysis later on Match of the Day.’ Not rocket science but hopefully a piece of sensible advice and one Alan ran with. He was flying solo within weeks. Sitting in the studio gallery, I’d watch him getting a little nervous as the famous titles were running but soon, guided by Des, he was into his analysis and that familiar unmistakable delivery of ‘pace and power’ was off and running. Paris Match of the Day: David Ginola, Jimmy Hill, Hansen and Des Lynam at World Cup '98 in France (left) and with David Beckham a year later (right) for his BBC documentary 'The Football Millionaires' In the swing: Hansen is a golf fanatic - here he tees off at Berkshire's world famous Sunningdale club in 2001 .

Front men: Hansen and Lineker pose in the Match of the Day studio in 2002 ahead of another season of expert analysis . We quickly put the lock on the swivel chair he sat in and Janet joined us in persuading him not to slouch. The rest came naturally. He didn’t say things just for effect and was very much his own man. He was in it for the long term. Saturday afternoons over the next few seasons became a favourite part of the week as Des, Alan, Jimmy and Gary Lineker would enjoy banter, have a go in the sweep, over-indulge on wine gums and take their turn on the tea run, all the while watching that day’s Premier League action. Helped by long-time colleague Niall Sloane, Alan established himself as a powerful advocate for good defending. Teamed up with Mark Lawrenson again, he was an intelligent reader of the game and a perceptive judge of player and team — and all without a technical gizmo in sight. He even survived, with a smile, the memorable ‘You can’t win anything with kids’ remark that set  Liverpool’s arch-rivals, Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United, on course for the double! Whoops! Hansen's bold prediction that Manchester United wouldn't win anything with kids during the 1995-1996 season backfired spectacularly as Alex Ferguson's team claimed a Double of Premier League title and FA Cup . Top of the world: The BBC's team at the 1998 World Cup in France - (back row, left to right) Jimmy Hill, Barry Davies and John Motson; (bottom row, left to right) Hansen, Des Lynam, Gary Lineker . Alan Hansen: Player and Pundit, BBC One, Friday 11 July 10.35pm . Having started his playing career at Partick Thistle, Alan spent 14 years at Liverpool, a loyal servant to the club. In broadcasting he has done the same, spending over two decades with the BBC, sticking with them when occasionally contracts and people went elsewhere. When Des moved to ITV, Alan built up a strong rapport with new presenter Lineker that endures to this day — 22 years of loyal service with the Corporation, with just a brief ‘loan spell’ to ITV when he was spotted pushing a supermarket trolley around the aisles during the odd commercial break! As well as his television work, Alan has been a consistent source of comfort and compassion for those people affected by the Hillsborough disaster. Special night: Hansen with his wife Janet at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards in Leeds last December . Cool customers: Hansen and Lineker don shades to promote the BBC's coverage of England's World Cup qualifiers in 2001 . Scrub up for the Cup: Hansen and Lineker strip off to publicise the BBC's coverage of the FA Cup in 1997 . He was in the Liverpool team that desperate afternoon in April 1989 and has been at the side of the  distressed families from that moment since. His concern is as genuine as it is long-standing. Alan will slip into retirement from the media spotlight comfortably. He’s left on his own terms with plenty of good memories behind him. He has a loving family around him, is never short of a golf match with Kenny and will sit down on a Saturday night and wait for that famous piece of music that heralds the start of a programme he has helped make his own." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hansen will hang up his Match of the Day mic after this Sunday's World Cup final .\nFormer Liverpool defender was a natural in front of the camera when he joined BBC 22 years ago .\nHas since become a stalwart on the iconic highlights show and famous for unflinching opinions .\nHansen won eight league titles, two FA Cups and three European Cups with Liverpool ." } ]

Hunter reportedly had a falling out with Edwards after she made the decision to publish a book about the affair. He allegedly kicked her out of the home and she has since done an about-face, writing a mea culpa for The Huffington Post.

However Dame Vivienne Westwood now claims the fairer sex struggle to dress themselves because they have ‘too much choice and not enough taste’. Giving an interview, the eccentric designer, 73, said men dress better than their girlfriends or wives because their dress code is more straightforward, meaning they have less in their wardrobes to choose from. And the punk designer, who was instrumental in the rebellious movement, which sought to challenge the status quo, also appeared to turn her back on the crusade. Far from it being anarchic rebellion, she described it merely as a ‘marketing opportunity’ that served to generate publicity for her. Speaking to BBC Radio 3 programme Private Passions, in which celebrities reveal how music has influenced their lives, Dame Vivienne said: ‘Do I dare say that generally speaking men, because of this code, usually dress better than their wives, who have too much choice and not enough taste probably.’ It is not the first time the designer, whose style earned her the nickname the Queen of Punk, has criticised women’s ability to choose their clothes. Last year the designer, whose fashion range features dresses which cost almost £1,000, said women were guilty of buying clothes ‘for the sake of it’ and without thought. And she urged them to invest in quality over quantity. Dame Vivienne, who caused controversy when she collected her OBE with no knickers on, then exposed herself to photographers outside, was instrumental in the punk movement of the 1970s. She and her former lover Malcolm McLaren, who managed the outrageously dressed punk rock group Sex Pistols, launched the Chelsea boutique SEX. The shop was full of naked headless mannequins, and ‘punk style’ clothing featuring whips and chains. It was symbolic of the movement, which sought to challenge the status quo. However, speaking to composer and broadcaster Michael Berkeley, Dame Vivienne said it was simply a ‘marketing opportunity’. Dame Vivienne, right, said she launched her punk boutique SEX, pictured, as a 'marketing opportunity' She said: ‘I don’t think I’ve done at all what you say [challenging the status quo]. Regarding punk I just think that all that happened was it provided the marketing opportunity and the marketing opportunity supported the establishment because, you know, “aren’t we great rebels, you know, we’ve got freedom of speech and trust us” it was terrible.’ The interview will be broadcast on Sunday December 21 at 12pm and is part of BBC’s classical music line-up for Christmas, which also includes a week of live concerts from the Temple Winter Festival on Radio 3. Dame Vivienne is married to her second husband, Andreas Kronthaler, who is 25 years her junior. She has two sons: Joseph, who co-founded Agent Provocateur, from her love affair with McClaren, and Ben, from her first marriage to Derek Westwood. Dame Vivienne continues to design clothing lines, which are sold on Net-A-Porter and her website, as well as in high-end department store Selfridge’s. The vegetarian also campaigns for environmental issues and earlier this year appeared in a video campaign for the charity PETA, urging people to use less water in the shower.

Having a ball: The mascots pose for a photo ahead of the MailOnline Mascot Derby at the Kia Oval . Raucous: There was mayhem as the mascots piled on top of each other with Billy the Badger looking on . Down and out: The octopus lies on the field as some of the other mascots pose for the cameras . The 17 representatives were split into two teams - north and south of the capital - and ended up crashing into each other as the obstacle course was left in tatters. With the competition descending into farce - there didn't appear any clear leader - Saracens' wolf seized his moment. Off he went, making a beeline for West Ham United's Hammerhead, and putting his rival down on the floor. Carnage ensued. Leyton Orient's wyvern waded in, with 'Theo' igniting a pile-on that had supporters in stitches. And it's a good job. Middlesex had dawdled along to 117-7, heavily indebted to a late dart by Toby Roland-Jones, as Surrey strangled the life out of their rivals before the interval in the Natwest T20 Blast.

Bodies lay strewn on the pitch, some pride had been battered. Chelsea's pair Stamford and Bridget watched on while QPR, Crystal Palace and a rather fiery Tottenham cock all threw themselves into the hilariously mismanaged bundle that spiralled out of control. Surrey's lion wasn't interested in all that though. Maybe oblivious to what was going on, maybe just that competitive, he strode to the finish line and won it for south London. But what about the wolf? He wandered off triumphantly with two arms raised. Saracens have a good one there.

Remarking on a group of St. Louis Rams players who adopted a 'hands up, don’t shoot' stance in a show of solidarity for Ferguson protesters prior to Sunday's game, O'Reilly said on The O'Reilly Factor; 'Quite frankly, I don’t think they’re smart enough to know what they’re doing.' He then added again, 'I absolutely don’t think they’re smart enough to know what they’re doing.' Scroll down for videos . Protest: Five members of the St. Louis Rams adopted a 'hands up, don't shoot' stance before taking the field on Sunday in a show of support for the protesters in Ferguson . Speaking out: Bill O'Reilly said on his show Monday that the players weren't 'smart enough to know what they were doing' and that they were propagating a lie . He went on to say the men were propagating the lie that Brown's hands were raised at the time he was shot. Not agreeing at all with this statement however was Mary Katharine Ham, a regular Fox News contributor, who seemed disgusted with what O'Reilly had to say. Ham said she thought that the players 'non-violent' protest was fine, and then later defended her comments on Twitter, saying, 'Thing is I DON’T CARE if NFL players make displays w/ which I disagree. Not being as upset as you doesn’t mean I betrayed America.' Fox News analyst Juan Williams, also a guest on Monday, disagreed with O'Reilly as well, and his take away that the football players were somehow coming out against all police. 'Look, you’ve got crazy people on all sides, Bill,' said Williams. 'But if you think that those football players identify and say, \"Oh, all cops are bad\"? That is not true.' Other side: O'Reilly's guests on Monday, Fox News Contributor Mary Katharine Ham (left) and analyst Juan Williams (right) did not agree with his statements . On Sunday, St. Louis Rams players Stedman Bailey, Jared Cook, Chris Givens, Tavon Austin and Kenny Britt took to the field making the same gesture many protesters have been making across the country these past two weeks. This as crowds gathered outside the stadium during the game chanting 'Hands up, don't shoot!' It seems that even Fox News may have had a problem with O'Reilly's statement, as they took down the clip after posting it earlier in the day on Tuesday. O'Reilly has been very vocal about his disdain for Ferguson protesters, saying that even those who did not loot or set buildings on fire should still be considered criminals for continuing to protest as these events happened. Meanwhile, the St. Louis Police Officers Association has called on both the NFL and the Rams to discipline the five players. They called the moved 'tasteless, offensive and inflammatory.' The NFL and the Rams said Monday that the players would not be punished. Unrest: A protester is dragged away outside the St. Louis Rams home game on Sunday . Cook spoke about the gesture following the game, saying; 'There has to be a change that starts with the people that are most influential around the world.' He then added, 'No matter what happened on that day, no matter how the whole situation went down, there has to be a change.' St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar has claimed that Rams' chief operating officer called him to apologize about the incident, something he vehemently denies. 'We did not apologize,' Rams spokesman Artis Twyman told CNN. The Officers Association then responded to that claim by posting on their Facebook page; 'Even though Mr. Demoff stated he never apologized, the Chief believed it to be an apology and the Chief sent the email to police staff to let them know about the call, after he told Mr. Demoff he would share his sentiments with his staff.'" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Bill O'Reilly commented on five St Louis Rams players who adopted a 'hands up, don't shoot' pose before game Sunday .\nHe said that he the players weren't 'smart enough to know what they're doing' and that they were propagating a lie .\nHis guests, Fox News contributors Mary Katharine Ham and Juan Williams disagreed with his statement .\nWilliams then disagreed with O'Reilly's assessment that this was implying the players were against all police .\nThis as the Rams and the NFL refuse to apologize to the St. Louis Police Officers Association for what they call a 'tasteless, offensive' move ." } ]

After loading them onto trucks and driving them off more 97 people are now missing. The kidnappings come four months after Boko Haram, which is fighting to reinstate a medieval Islamic caliphate in religiously mixed Nigeria, abducted more than 200 schoolgirls from the village of Chibok. They are still missing. Several witnesses who fled after Sunday's raid on Doron Baga, a sandy fishing village near the shores of Lake Chad, said militants clothed in military and police uniforms had burned several houses. 'They left no men or boys in the place; only young children, girls and women,' said Halima Adamu, sobbing softly and looking exhausted after a 180 km (110 mile) road trip on the back of a truck to Maiduguri, capital of the northeastern state of Borno. Suspected Islamist Boko Haram fighters have abducted dozens of boys and men from a village in northeast Nigeria, according to witnesses. The kidnappings come four months after Boko Haram abducted more than 200 schoolgirls (pictured) fom the village of Chibok . 'They were shouting 'Allah Akbar' (God is greatest), shooting sporadically. There was confusion everywhere. 'They started parking our men and boys into their vehicles, threatening to shoot whoever disobey them. Everybody was scared.' They said six older men were also killed in Sunday's raid, while another five people were wounded. Boko Haram, seen as the number one security threat to Africa's top economy and oil producer, has dramatically increased attacks on civilians in the past year, and the once-grassroots movement has rapidly lost popular support as it gets more bloodthirsty. Its solution - kidnapping boys and forcing them to fight and abducting girls as sex slaves - is a chilling echo of Ugandan rebel Joseph Kony's Lord's Resistance Army, which has operated in the same way in Uganda, South Sudan and central Africa for decades. Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau in a video he sent taunting the Nigerian government over the kidnapping of the girls from their boarding school dormitory in April . The military did not respond to a request for comment. A security source said they were aware of the incident but were still investigating the details. The kidnappers overpowered local vigilantes who had no support because this is no military presence there, the villagers said. Talatu Abubakar, another villager who fled to Maiduguri, said the invaders had taunted the men for being unable to defend themselves. 'They were shouting 'Where is your pride? You people used to be warriors. Today you are all just women, not as brave as we thought',' he said. He said that from his Hadeija clan alone, some 47 people were missing and feared to have been abducted. The raid shows how mobile Boko Haram units can be. After a military offensive in May last year broke their hold on the area around Lake Chad in the far northeast of Borno state, the rebels relocated to the south of the state, near the Cameroon border nearly 300 km (190 miles) away. Chibok, where the girls were taken from, is in this area. Their re-appearance in the area demonstrates their ability to move across vast swathes of northeastern Nigeria without being intercepted by the military. Nigerian forces are overstretched against a determined foe. In the past week they have fought gun battles with Boko Haram Islamists in two key towns in the south of Borno - Gwoza, the security sources said, and the garrison town of Damboa, which the militants sacked a month ago." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Militants burned several houses and witnesses said 97 people are missing .\nComes four months after Boko Haram abducted more than 200 schoolgirls .\nSix older men were also killed in Sunday's raid ." } ]

The New York Police Department said a 55-year-old man was shot and killed about 3.30am today. Officers have arrested a suspect. Several other shootings were reported in the area, as well. The celebration's history of violence in recent years led to a major police crackdown - with more than 4,000 NYPD officers on hand to keep tabs on gang activity and keep order.

'My culture is very important to me, and this is a celebration of all that is good about all of these people and places.'

This was de Blasio's first time marching as mayor; a year ago, the raucous reception he received at the parade foreshadowed his blowout win in the Democratic primary. He and his family marked the occasion last year by debuting a family dance they dubbed \"The Smackdown,\" which calls for them to pantomime licking their hands, swirling them over the heads, slapping their palms to the concrete and then jumping backward.

Pearson positions himself in the stands, where he is surrounded by supporters, instead of on the touchline because the 51-year-old feels it gives him a better tactical point of view. But the manager was subject to criticism on Tuesday night as Leicester lost 3-1 against Liverpool. 'I replied to one idiot in the stands and if he doesn't like what he sees, then don't bother coming,' Pearson told SkySports. 'Maybe they ought to think about staying at home, we need support their support. We've worked hard tonight and will continue to do so.' And he then turned on the broadcaster in his press conference, saying: 'I find some of the - I don't know what you call them - presenters are particularly irritating.' It was Leicester's second defeat in four days after last year's Championship winners were beaten 3-2 by Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road on Saturday. Pearson's men visit Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday, who recorded their first win since September 13 with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Tuesday.

Joe Hart was voted man of the match in both of England's games against San Marino and Estonia . Fans voted for Hart as their man of the match not once but twice and England could change the system . The FA/Vauxhall view is that a one-off cheeky protest about the San Marino mismatch where 63 per cent of the vote went to Hart was fair enough but not when it was repeated in Tallinn when an 82 per cent majority picked the Manchester City player. Vauxhall are keen to keep the fans centrally involved in the vote, but need to work on a safety procedure that guards against ridiculous choices being made in future.

Arsenal say none of their direct employees have wages of less than that figure. But there are lower paid cleaners and catering staff who work for Arsenal-contracted companies who are responsible for their hourly wage.

High-tech equipment including sonar and video cameras are set to arrive at a site in the Indian ocean, more than 1,500 kilometres off the Western Australian coast, within days. Experts believe the plane crashed somewhere in the area after veering off course from it's Kuala Lumpur to Beijing flight on 8 March, with 239 people on board. A massive land and sea search has failed to find any trace of the plane. GO Phoenix, the first of the vessels contracted to conduct the underwater search, departed Jakarta, Indonesia more than a week ago, after work was done to prepare the ship for the sea and weather conditions it would encounter. Scroll down for video . Fugro Discovery (pictured), which along with the Malaysian-contracted GO Phoenix, will soon start a new high-resolution search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 . A three-dimensional model of the sea floor terrain, derived from satellite gravity measurements and some from ocean passage soundings. A bathymetric survey currently underway is focussed on gathering more detailed and higher resolution data in preparation for the underwater search phase . Chief commissioner from the ATSB Martin Dolan says the vessel is likely to arrive late Sunday. 'When they get going, they will deploy an underwater sonar in on the end of very long cable, eight kilometres, they will tow that sonar in on a toefish, which contains sonar equipoment, close to ocean floor, 100 metres,' he said. 'They send out sonar signals, get them back, a width of about 1.5 kms, that will go up the cable to vessel and crews to look and anaylise for anything for interest.' 'It will be recorded and transferred in batches, re-anaylised so nothing to be missed.' The new stage of the search comes after months of detailed analysis and sea bed surveys, which has indicated the aircraft should be found along a defined arc in the southern Indian Ocean, where it's believed to have run out of fuel. The primary search area - dubbed the 'priority area' - is an arc 23,000 square miles (60,000 square kilometres) in size, roughly the size of Croatia, 1,120 miles (1,800km) off the Australian coast. 'Three things that make it complicated is that we know aircraft will be found there but have to prioritise high probability areas,' said Chief Dolan. 'Also towing expensive equipment, we need to know closely what the ocean floor is like, the sea floor is quite complex, not just a simple matter, additional attention is needed for some areas to cover them properly.' 'Lastly data itself requires a specialised eye to understand, so we also have the capacity to review.' The chief also mentioned the weather conditions, which can be quite challenging because it is so unpredictable. Images from the bathymetric survey being conducted in the latest MH370 search area: They provide information including the contours, depths and hardness of the ocean floor to ensure the safe and effective operation of equipment in the search . These images show remnants of volcanoes, towering ridges and deep trenches that have been discovered on the seabed of the search area named Broken Ridge, an extensive linear, mountainous sea floor structure . 'Weather is improving and the course of this month is as good as it gets, make the searching as easy as possible but still big swells, storm will come through.' Vessels will also be joining GO Phoenix including Furgo Discovery which has completed fit out works in Durban, South Africa and is en-route to Australia where it is expected to arrive in Fremantle on Sunday. Furgo Equator, the vessel currently being used to survey the search area, is expected to be mobilised as a search vessel when its bathymetric work is complete around the end of October. 'The second vessel, Furgo will be there about the end of the third week of this month, the Equator in Perth by the end of the month to do its first underwater search. This bathymetric survey image shows that the depth of the sea floor in one area of the search site is -5300 metres below sea level (purple) and then rises steeply to -2500 metres below sea level (red) Very few marine surveys have taken place in the MH370 search area. Previous mapping did not show the shape of the sea floor and only indicated ocean depth . 'It's not clear how long that search will take,' Transport Minister Warren Truss said, according to the ABC. `We would hope, obviously, to find the aircraft on the first day, but it could in fact take a year to search the entire area and weather conditions will have an impact.' The chief commissioner said there are several 'high probability' areas located that will be searched in the southern arc of the Indian Ocean. 'The second vessel will go to another high probability area and the third vessel will work between those two areas,' he said. The area being searched for MH370 has been narrowed down to a 60,000 square kilometre arc (grey) in the southern Indian Ocean, 1800km off the Australian coast . The yellow markings represent the area surveyed via bathymetric surveys . 'Until we have more solid data in flight data by boxes no one will  be able to come to form a view, people will speculate.' 'We want to givce some certainty of closure to families. The current plan is scheduled to take up to a year but we hope we won't need that.' 'There are no guarantees.' The search operation is a joint effort by Australia and Malaysia costing $57 million.

And now, an Oxfordshire flying club has marked the momentous occasion by creating a classic Spitfire, albeit in a slightly smaller form than the World War Two version. Led by flying instructor Paul Fowler, the club hope to build a new squadron of Spitfires in time to mark the 75th anniversary of the campaign which helped Britain defeat Hitler's Luftwaffe. The first Spitfire - a Supermarine Mk 26B, a 90 per cent scale replica based on the original Supermarine Spitfire design has been created by Enstone Flying Club . The plane cost £210,000 to produce, funded by enthusiasts who can buy a 12th or 20th part share for £17,000 or £11,000 and was built by a team of volunteers . Paul Fowler (pictured), the manager of the project, told MailOnline: 'What's been produced is beyond my wildest expectations. She's absolutely beautiful' Mr Fowler, 53, has a mission and dream to build 11 more Spitfires to fly a squadron down The Mall in formation at 11am on September 15, 2015. This will mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain in World War Two . The first Spitfire - a Supermarine Mk 26B, a 90 per cent scale replica based on the original Supermarine Spitfire design - is now ten days away from its maiden flight. Twenty volunteers - ranging from a BT engineer to a BA pilot - helped construct the first Spitfire, but more helpers are needed to build the other 11. Paul Fowler, the manager of the project, told MailOnline: 'What's been produced is beyond my wildest expectations. She's absolutely beautiful. 'What has been created is remarkable and not far short of a miracle and it has spurred me on to do more.' Mr Fowler said: 'What we are doing is completely unique and no one is doing this anywhere else in the world. It's also absolutely British' The plane weighs 810 kg and is a 90 per cent scale version of an original three-tonne Spitfire which helped Britain defeat Hitler's Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain . The planes are created by a team of volunteers and funded by enthusiasts who can buy a 12th or 20th part share for £17,000 or £11,000 . The British date the battle from 10 July to 31 October 1940, which represented the most intense period of daylight bombing . Mr Fowler, 53, has a mission and dream to build 11 more Spitfires to fly a squadron down The Mall in formation at 11am on September 15, 2015. This will mark the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Britain in World War Two. He told MailOnline: 'What we are doing is completely unique and no one is doing this anywhere else in the world. It's also absolutely British. 'I wanted to create something exciting and different to get people interested in flying and aeroplanes.' It is hoped the Spitfires, built in Enstone, will be flown by County of Oxford Squadron pilots with the World War Two veterans in the back of the aircraft. Mr Fowler will ask the RAF Red Arrows to teach the pilots who will fly the Spitfires the formation flying skills required to perform the mission. Mr Fowler said: 'In order to achieve the very ambitious goal of flying 12 Spitfires down The Mall next year we need a lot of money very quickly' One of the aims of the project was to recognise the 'massive effort' that went into creating them during World War Two . The Spitfire produced by Enstone Flying Club burns 38 litres of fuel an hour, rather than the original Spitfire which used four and half litres a minute . The planes are produced by volunteers which Mr Fowler said is the 'whole ethos' of the project. When completed, each plane will weigh 810 kg and will be a 90 per cent scale version of an original three-tonne Spitfire which helped Britain defeat Hitler's Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain. Mr Fowler added: 'It's slightly smaller and it also burns 38 litres of fuel an hour, rather than four and half litres a minute. It costs about £110 an hour to run, whereas the World War Two planes cost between £2,500 and £3,000 to run.' He said the plane cost £210,000 to produce, funded by enthusiasts who can buy a 12th or 20th part share for £17,000 or £11,000. Mr Fowler is relying on sponsors and donations to complete the squadron. He needs to raise a further £3.7million to fulfil his dream. 'In order to achieve the very ambitious goal of flying 12 Spitfires down The Mall next year we need a lot of money very quickly and we need to work quicker and ramp it up a bit.' Mr Fowler said he hoped to 'keep the Spitfire legend alive forever' and said he first became interested in planes at the age of eight . Mr Fowler said: 'I came up with the idea of the Spitfire club as a way of getting pilots to keep flying. I want to create a huge community which revolves around a shared love of aircraft' The flying club hope to hold events across the UK and in Europe to build up a picture of the heyday of the Spitfire .

Length: 8.15m . Height: 7ft 1in . Engine: V6 Isuzu Trooper . Mr Fowler, who said the aim was to 'keep the Spitfire legend alive forever', first became fascinated by flight at the age of eight when he jumped off the roof of his parents' shed with a pair of cardboard wings strapped to his back. 'I wasn't very aerodynamic, but it certainly made me want to become a pilot. 'I came up with the idea of the Spitfire club as a way of getting pilots to keep flying. 'I've found over the years that many of them give up once the excitement of learning to fly evaporates. 'I have always been interested in military history but was always trying to find a way of bringing more people into aviation. It really came about by a bit of frustration and trying to find something people were really interested in and everybody loves the Spitfire.' He also wants to make aeroplanes more 'accessible' to enthusiasts. 'I want to give them some hands-on experience, because having met many through the flying club, they almost seem afraid to even touch aeroplanes. 'I want to create a huge community which revolves around a shared love of aircraft.' Mr Fowler said he hoped to stage events across Europe. He said: 'We want to hold events, where the aircraft will fly in displays and be the focal point, but we also want to build up a picture of the heyday of the Spitfire, with people dressed up in 1940s gear for example.' He said another aim of the project was to recognise the 'massive effort' that went into creating them during the war. 'I have been lucky enough to meet people who were involved in the original production. I have met some of the design team and people who worked in production at Castle Bromwich, in Birmingham. Some people worked there 12 hours a day, six days a week during the war and did the same job every single day.

And as President Obama prepares to enlarge America's aid to affected countries, a company that makes protective clothing says the State Department, which oversees USAID, has invited bids for 160,000 hazmat suits. The body-bag purchase came on August 19, just after the World Health Organization said the epidemic had killed 1,000 people. That death toll is now greater than 2,400. The size of the contracts indicates how seriously governments are taking the threat, especially considering that all 5,000 body bags were destined only for Liberia – one of three countries whose citizens have been hammered with new disease cases and paralyzed with fear. And the purchase says nothing about what resources might be coming as part of other nations' contributions. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO .

Barack Obama will travel to Atlanta on Tuesday for a briefing with experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. His chief spokesman said Monday that the president will announce new levels of support from the U.S. to fight the disease. The CDC has begun to warn health care workers and hospital administrators to be on the lookout for potential Ebola cases. 'Now is the time to prepare,' reads part of a six-page 'checklist' being distributed nationwide. The agency has already deployed about 100 of its own workers to Africa, White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters during his daily briefing. 'This is, if not the largest, among the largest deployments of CDC personnel – ever,' he said. America, Earnest added, 'has a unique responsibility to step up in the midst of an international crisis. ... Our doctors and scientists are some of the best in the world.' The federal government as a whole has allocated $100 million in financing and other resources to assist what has become a continent-wide race against the clock to stamp out a crafty pathogen before it can spread beyond hope of containment. That level of support, about one-sixth of what the WHO estimates is needed, 'underscores just how extraordinarily serious the administration believes this issue is,' said Earnest. Obama's visit will add a new sense of urgency, and more aid to the countries where the threat is the more dire. 'I do anticipate that we'll have some additional announcements to make' on Tuesday, Earnest said, 'about additional commitments we're making.' USAID's body-bag purchase was signed August 19, a $32,500 contract with a Florida packaging company, earmarked 'for the USAID/OFDA response to the Ebola crisis in west Africa.' OFDA is the agency's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance. Buying the body bags, however, was just the first step. USAID inked another contact on August 27 'for the transport of 5,000 body bags from the vendor's facility to Liberia.' Flying them there from warehouses in Illinois and California cost another $57,144. Hazmat suits are in demand as health care workers tend to the sick and bury the dead, often removing their bodies unceremoniously in pickup trucks and panel vans . Hardest-hit areas of Africa are in the western Sahel, with Liberia being so far the epicenter of death . It's not clear whether the State Department's purchase of 160,000 hazmat suits is intended to be delivered all at once, or to which countries they will be delivered. But Lakeland Industries, based in Ronkonkoma, New York, reported on Friday that 'the U.S. State Department alone' has solicited bids 'for 160,000 suits.'

Kelly Gadsby, from Tamworth, woke up early one morning in agony, having worked a long shift as an assistant bar manager the day before. Within 24 hours, she had become a mother for the second time after the arrival of her son Frankie. Shock: Kelly Gadsby was suffering from extreme back pain and had no idea she was pregnant. Her son Frankie was born just hours later . Ms Gadsby had been taking the pill daily and had periods as normal, but as her agony increased en-route to hospital, she claims noticed a bump appear on her stomach. Baffled doctors decided to give her a pregnancy test, which came back positive. Frankie was born just hours later, weighing 8lb 5oz. Ms Gadsby says she had no idea she was pregnant,. In fact, friends had even told her she had lost weight. Alongside working 14-hour shifts, she had fallen down the stairs at her home three months before. She said: 'It's come as just a little bit of a shock, to say the least. Ms Gadsby had been taking the pill daily and had periods as normal, but as her agony increased en-route to hospital, she claims noticed a bump appear on her stomach . 'I think the biggest surprise is that I didn't have a clue I was pregnant. I felt nothing at all, there was no morning sickness and I was just getting along with work and everything else. 'For a few days I felt extremely tired, but I put it down to working 40 to 50 hours a week.' After finishing work the night before at 11.30pm, she woke up with severe backache and called her sister when the pain got worse. Ms Gadsby, 32, who also has son Joel, 11, from a previous relationship, said: 'The aches were getting worse and worse. She asked me how I felt and I said it was as though I was in labour. 'I then noticed a bump had formed on my stomach and knew something wasn't right. The news was even more of a surprise because Ms Gadsby's partner Alan (left) takes medication for Chron's disease that makes having a child risky . 'When I got to hospital they gave me a pregnancy test and I was stunned to hear it had come back positive.' Ms . Gadsby's partner, 35-year-old Alan Jones, was stunned to receive a . phone call at work from nurses at the nearby Good Hope Hospital, Sutton . Coldfield, explaining that he was going to be a father. He said: 'My colleagues had to pick me up from the floor. We hadn't planned the pregnancy at all. I thought it was a wind-up. The news was a particular surprise for Mr Jones, as he suffers from Chron's disease. Doctors had told him he may never be able to start a family because the medication he was on would make it 'too dangerous'. Baby Frankie with his older brother Joel, 11 . Maggie Coleman, Good Hope's maternity clinical services matron and supervisor of midwives, said Ms Gadsby's case was rare. She said: 'I can count on my one hand how many I have seen in my 30-year career here at Good Hope Hospital. 'Women who may be a little taller or overweight tend to show much less [signs of pregnancy], whilst menopausal women and younger busy women who are not expecting to be pregnant will simply not be looking for signs. 'Even a baby's kicking can be easily mistaken for indigestion. 'In some births, such as Kelly's, babies lie with their back against their mother's back. This is called the occipito-posterior (OP) position. In this case If the baby is lying OP or 'back to your back', the pregnant bump may feel squashy and mothers may feel baby kicks in the middle of their abdomen. 'I would like to wish Kelly and her new baby, Frankie, all the best for the future.' A new mother gave birth in her bathroom just hours after being sent home by midwives who insisted she wasn't in labour. Gemma Wotherspoon, 28, phoned the Penrice Hospital in St Austell, Cornwall, when she developed severe back pains on her due date. But despite showing the classic signs of contractions, nurses assured her the birth was imminent and instead advised her to stay home and take paracetamol. Gemma Wotherspoon was told by doctors she wasn't in labour and sent home. Three hours later, she gave birth to baby Ryan in her bathroom . When the pain got worse her husband Alistair, 30, drove her to the hospital. But after being examined nurses again insisted that she was not in labour and discharged her with 'back pain'. She ended up giving birth just two hours after arriving back at home, while sitting on the toilet. Mrs Wotherspoon, from Bodmin, Cornwall, said: 'After they sent me home from hospital I tried to sleep, but by 2.30am the pain had got much worse and I couldn't get comfy. I had all the signs that I was in labour. 'I felt the urge to push so I went to the toilet to try and ease the pain but when I realised what was happening I just sort of gave birth. 'I shouted to Alistair to grab his head, but before I knew it Ryan was in my arms. 'I just took one push and he was out, I had him in my arms and thankfully he was just crying and crying. 'Alistair called the paramedics and they arrived within about seven minutes. 'I can't believe they kept sending me away, it's shocking. Luckily we were all OK, but imagine if we weren't. It's a very scary experience. 'I'm very angry with how I have been let down.' Mrs Wotherspoon later complained to the hospital, which apologised and agreed to reimburse her for any furniture damaged during the birth." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Kelly Gadsby, from Tamworth, was on the pill and had periods as normal .\nShe had no signs of pregnancy and friends told her she looked slimmer .\nPartner suffers from Chron's disease and was told he may never conceive ." } ]

Mohamed El-Erian's ten-year-old told her dad that he had skipped her first day of school, Halloween parade, her first soccer game of the year and many recitals because he was too busy at work. The California-based investment guru's resignation in May 2013 shocked the financial world. However in a recent interview, Mr El-Erian, who made $100 million in 2011 alone, explained that his young daughter and wife Jamie were at the heart of his decision. Scroll down for video . Mohamed El-Erian, pictured, resigned from $2 trillion PIMCO investment fund in May 2013 to spend more time with his ten-year-old daughter. In a recent interview, he said: 'I was not making nearly enough time for her' Mr El-Erian, pictured with his wife Jamie, who is a lawyer in Laguna Beach, California. The top financier quit his role as head of PIMCO last year so she could spend more time with his family . In an essay for Worth in June, El-Erian, 56, explained his decision. He said: 'About a year ago, I asked my daughter several times to do something - brush her teeth, I think it was - with no success. 'I reminded her that it was not so long ago that she would have immediately responded, and I wouldn’t have had to ask her multiple times; she would have known from my tone of voice that I was serious. 'She asked me to wait a minute, went to her room and came back with a piece of paper. It was a list that she had compiled of her important events and activities that I had missed due to work commitments. Talk about a wake-up call. 'The list contained 22 items, from her first day at school and first soccer match of the season to a parent-teacher meeting and a Halloween parade. And the school year wasn’t yet over.I felt awful and got defensive: I had a good excuse for each missed event! Travel, important meetings, an urgent phone call, sudden to-do. Mr El-Erian's daughter after her first day of school with her mom Jamie (pictured right), her aunt Sherry (left) and her late grandfather Bill Walters, a former Arkansas state senator (center). Mr El-Erian left his top post at PIMCO after his daughter made him a list of milestones he missed - including her first day at school . Mr El-Erian, 56, said that since stepping down from his job, he is available to make his daughter's breakfast and run her to school from their mansion in California (pictured) Dr Mohamed El-Erian, who studied Cambridge, and his wife Jamie El-Erian along with Lord Eatwell after they made a $3millon donation to the university this year . Life at the top: Mohamed El-Erian (pictured second right) attends a dinner with President Obama and other business high-fliers . He added: 'But it dawned on me that I was missing an infinitely more important point. As much as I could rationalize it - as I had rationalized it - my work-life balance had gotten way out of whack, and the imbalance was hurting my very special relationship with my daughter. I was not making nearly enough time for her.' El-Erian was born in New York and grew up in Egypt before his father returned to the city to work at the United Nations. In his recent essay, he admitted he was spending far too much time away from home while working for PIMCO. According to Business Insider, El-Erian kept an extremely grueling schedule at PIMCO (Pacific Investment Management Company). He would sleep from 9pm until 1am, then work on his newspaper columns, get to the office at 4.30am and then move from trading floor to his office to take up management duties at 9am. Since resigning, the investor said he and his wife take turns in waking up their daughter, preparing her breakfast and bringing her to school. He said he is also planning a holiday just for himself and his daughter. Jamie El-Erian is a successful lawyer who practices in Laguna Beach, California. El-Erian said instead of one, full-time position, he has taken a 'portfolio' of part-time roles which require far less travelling and allow him greater flexibility. The investor, who was educated at Oxford and Cambridge in the UK, said that he even now had time to pick up his daughter from school. Speaking to Bloomberg after his resignation, El-Erian said: ' I've gone through a transition after 14 great years with PIMCO and I've put together a portfolio of part-time activities that I'm really excited about. I'm also really excited to spend more time with my family and my daughter.' He later told Reuters: 'If I had known that there would be this media circus, I would've done a lot of things differently. 'Was there a way of not going 100 miles an hour and maybe going 50 miles an hour? To be perfectly honest, I didn't explore that option. I never explored.' El-Erian said wanting to spend more time with his family is a cliche but he decided that 'his need to be a good father was greater than his desire to be a good investor'. He decided that he had to readjust his work-life balance in May 2013 after receiving the note from his daughter. Mr El-Erian described his work-life balance being 'out of whack' - so he resigned from PIMCO to spend more time with his wife and daughter. He is pictured in 2011 helping clean up the Orange County coastline with a volunteers as part of PIMCO project . In an interview with Reuters, El-Erian refused to comment on his former boss Bill Gross, only describing the 70-year-old as brilliant. Since leaving PIMCO, El-Erian has become the chief economic adviser at Allianz where he spends 50 per cent of his time. In 2012, President Obama announced El-Erian as the Chair of the president's Global Development Council. The high-flying investor also comments widely in the media - he is a columnist for Bloomberg and contributes to the Financial Times and CNN. It was announced today that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating whether bond fund manager PIMCO inflated the returns of its Total Return Exchange-Traded Fund run by founder Bill Gross, who has come under renewed fire from investors this year over the poor performance of his main fund. PIMCO and its owner, Allianz, confirmed the probe after a report in the Wall Street Journal said the SEC investigation into the $3.6 billion exchange-traded fund has been going on for at least a year but has picked up pace in recent weeks." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mohamed El-Erian, 56, quit his role as CEO of PIMCO investment fund in May 2013 .\nThe California-based financier said it was 'a cliché' but he wanted to spend more time with his wife Jamie, a lawyer, and daughter .\nHis little girl said he missed her first day of school, Halloween parade, first soccer game of the year, parent-teacher meeting and many recitals .\nHe kept grueling hours - sleeping from 9pm-1am, writing until 430am and then hitting the trading floor for five hours and getting to his office at 9am .\nMr El-Erian said 'his need to be a good father was greater than his desire to be a good investor'\nSince resigning, he and his wife take turns in preparing their daughter's breakfast and taking her to school .\nSEC investigating PIMCO and Mr El-Erian's former boss Alex Gross, it was confirmed today ." } ]

Journalist Tim Willcox sparked anger during his coverage of yesterday's rally in Paris, held in memory of the 17 victims of last week's terror attacks, including four Jewish people in a siege at a Kosher supermarket. During a live report from the streets of Paris, Willcox was speaking to a number of participants in the march, including one woman who expressed her fears that Jews were being persecuted, and 'the situation is going back to the days of the 1930s in Europe.' Scroll down for video . BBC reporter Tim Willcox (pictured) has faced calls to resign after he told the daughter of Holocaust survivors: 'Palestinians suffer hugely at Jewish hands as well' during a live broadcast from Paris yesterday . Willcox was speaking to this woman, named as Chava, at the Paris rally who expressed her fears that Jews were being persecuted, and 'the situation is going back to the days of the 1930s in Europe' To this, Willcox, who was broadcasting on the BBC News channel replied: 'Many critics though of Israel's policy would suggest that the Palestinians suffer hugely at Jewish hands as well.' When the woman, shaking her head, responded saying: 'We can't do an amalgam', he told her: 'You understand everything is seen from different perspectives.' She was identified during the broadcast as 'Chava', and told Willcox when she was introduced on screen that she had lived in France for 20 years, but was originally from Israel. She said her parents were from Poland, and came to Israel after the Second World War. She had attended the rally with a friend, Aziz, who is French-born and comes from a Muslim background, with his parents being originally from Algeria. Willcox has today apologised for his comments, taking to Twitter to say he had not meant to cause offence. He wrote: 'Really sorry for any offence caused by a poorly phrased question in a live interview in Paris yesterday - it was entirely unintentional.' Willcox has today apologised for his comments, taking to Twitter to say he had not meant to cause offence . Willcox, pictured, wrote: 'Really sorry for any offence caused by a poorly phrased question in a live interview in Paris yesterday - it was entirely unintentional.' But many viewers also used the social network to express their anger and concerns over Willcox's rally coverage, including historian and BBC presenter Simon Schama. He wrote on Twitter: 'Appalling of @BBCTimWillcox to imply any and all JEWS (not Israelis) responsible for treatment of Palestinians by hectoring lady in Paris.' And added: 'Then he had gall to patronise her at the end - \"you see people see it from all sides\" That Palestinian plight justifies anti-semitic murder?' Jewish Chronicle editor Stephen Pollard also joined the debate, tweeting: 'What is @BBCTimWillcox's problem with Jews? Once is problematic. Twice is a pattern.' The Campaign Against Antisemitism, which works to combat anti-Semitism in Britain, has circulated footage of the incident, and has called on those offended by it to formally complain to the BBC. Director of communications, Jonathan Sacerdoti, told MailOnline Willcox's Twitter apology was 'not really good enough'. 'It's an admission he has done something wrong, but it's incumbent on the BBC to make an on-air apology and to investigate his behaviour.' Many viewers also used the social network to express their anger and concerns over Willcox's rally coverage, including historian and BBC presenter Simon Schama . There have also been calls for the reporter to resign. Twitter user I Support Israel said: 'Retweet if you believe @BBCTimWillcox should be fired for making this anti-Semitic suggestion'. The comment was re-tweeted 41 times, while others expressed their views on the controversy, adding the hashtag #WillcoxMustGo. An online petition was also set up, demanding that Willcox 'personally apologise', and calling for 're-assurance that this constant anti-Semitic behaviour from the BBC will come to an end'. The petition authors said: 'It was the wrong time and place to ask such a disgraceful question. The unity march was a time for France and the rest of the world to come together and unite against the rising threat of terrorism and anti-Semitism, as well as an opportunity to mourn and remember those killed in the horrific attacks. Willcox was in Paris to cover yesterday's rally, held in memory of the 17 victims of last week's terror attacks, including four Jewish people in a siege at a Kosher supermarket . 'Nevertheless, Mr Willcox showed no sensitivity and asked a tasteless question on live TV which has outraged those who have seen the clip, as well as leaving the interviewee speechless and defenceless.' It is not the first time Willcox has been accused of anti-Semitism. In November during a review of the following day's newspapers on the BBC News channel, Willcox, who was anchoring the discussion, faced criticism after discussion of a story about Labour leader Ed Miliband reportedly losing Jewish support. The BBC said Willcox (pictured) had no intention of causing offence, and had been discussing a wide range of issues with the rally participants . A guest on the programme, political observer Jo Phillips, had referred to a 'Jewish lobby', which had abandoned support for Labour over his condemnation of Israeli attacks on Gaza. There was anger that Willcox had not pulled up the guest on her comments, and had added: 'A lot of these prominent Jewish faces will be very much against the mansion tax'. The BBC defended the comments, and said: 'It was clear that he was not suggesting that Jewish people in particular are against the mansion tax.' Mr Sacerdoti said his organisation and 33 individuals had complained to the BBC about the November broadcast. 'The BBC said there was no anti-Semitism in what he said, but according to the MacPherson definition, if a minority group feels it is anti-Semitic, it should be considered as such,' he said. 'It's obviously offending people.' He added: 'And now he's done it again in an extreme example when people are mourning the deaths of four Jews, among the other victims, and his reaction is to say this to a Jewish woman who is saying it's like the 1930s. 'To somehow bring in mitigating circumstances, is terrible. 'The EUMC's [European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia, now the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights] working definition of anti-Semitism includes collective blaming of Jews for the actions of Israel.' Alex Benjamin, Executive Director of Brussels-based group European Friends of Israel, told MailOnline he would 'echo the calls for Willcox to resign'. 'I was not the only one who was utterly disgusted at the deeply patronising, offensive and frankly partisan way he hassled this woman - a woman who as a Parisian Jew is genuinely concerned for her well-being – seeking to justify the abhorrent murders of four jews in Paris with the Israel Palestinian conflict,' he said. 'It was tactless, arrogant and he should at resign.' A BBC spokesman said: 'Tim Willcox has apologised for what he accepts was a poorly phrased question during an in-depth live interview with two friends, one Jewish and of Israeli birth, the other of Algerian Muslim heritage, where they discussed a wide range of issues affecting both the Muslim and Jewish communities in France.

Shocked Helen Christie, 40, was landed with the massive bill, which is 28 times the amount she paid for her holiday, when she decided to share photos of her trip to Turkey on the social network. But by using her Orange mobile internet to upload the pictures, she ran up data roaming charges which worked out at huge £2,700 per day. Shocked: Helen Christie, above, was enjoying a week away with pals when she ran up the bill . Helen, of Woolwich, South East London, had planned for her trip by buying £6 per day 'travel saver' mobile internet bundle from her network provider. But Orange said that by buying into the deal, she had opted out of the cap on her normal tariff, which limits internet charges to £42 per day. Upon her return, the mother-of-two was faced with monthly repayments of £3,000. Speaking to The Mirror, she said: \"I just thought it might be nice to put a few pictures on Facebook. I didn't have a clue what on earth had gone on. \"I thought it was a wind-up. The whole holiday only cost me £700. It's disgusting. It's scare tactics - people don't realise what these companies are doing.\" After a national newspaper contacted Orange, they agreed to cut the bill from £19,656 to £875 because of 'exceptional circumstances' A spokesperson for Orange said: \"The customer used much more data than her chosen bundle. Due to the exceptional circumstances we have offered a significant reduction.\" Fearing pressure from Bailiffs, Helen who earns £10,000 per year as an accounts manager, said she plans to fight the revised bill in court. Stung: The bill was more than 28 times the amount that Helen paid for her holiday. She plans to appeal in court . The row comes with the Eurpoean Commission hoping to scrap data roaming charges across Europe completely by 2016. Under current plans, companies will be banned from charging extra for incoming calls to people who are abroad from July 2014. That is the first stage in a move to abandon all other roaming charges by 2016. If . the new rules come into force, mobile providers will either have to . charge customers the same prices for phone calls across the EU, or allow . them to switch providers for the period they are abroad, without . changing their sim card. Currently, the mobile network Three . have taken the biggest step toward scrapping data roaming after they . announced a tariff which allows users to browse the internet in . Australia, Austria, Denmark, Hong Kong, Italy, Ireland and Sweden for . the same price as on their UK plan. Other . networks offer bundles, which allow a set amount of data usage for a . small fee which is then added to the customer's monthly bill. Orange, O2 and T-Mobile all offer packages allowing between 15 and 30 megabytes of data for around two to three pounds per day. Rather . than charge for a specific amount of usage, Vodafone's EuroTraveller . tariff charges a customer £3 per day to use the internet at their UK . price plan whilst abroad in Europe. Networks . are fighting the Euro legislation, insisting that a ban on data roaming . charges will cost the industry £6billion per year. Top tips: Avoid running up huge phone bills abroad . Currently, holiday makers are advised to take precautions to avoid bumper bills, such as turning off data roaming and using free wi-fi. Smartphones will automatically start to update data when they connect to another network on holiday but step-by-step instructions for how to turn off roaming on a range of popular handsets can be found at ofcom.org.uk. Users can connect to the internet at local wi-fi hotspots – often for free – while data roaming on their phone is still switched off or try the ‘old-school’ trick of visiting an internet cafe. Experts recommend buying a booster, which works like an add-on for an existing price plan or package. It boosts the amount of calls, texts and data you can use when not in the UK. Mobile networks offer a range of add-on packages for travellers who want to continue using the internet on holiday. They all have bundles for within Europe, starting at £1 a day for 20 megabytes (20MB) of internet use with Orange, enough for an hour of Facebook, according to Confused.com.  But those heading further afield could find they have less choice. Vodafone’s Data Traveller costs £5 a day for a 25MB daily allowance so holiday makers only pay on the days they use the internet. Orange’s Rest of World add-ons start at £6 a day for 30MB each day but it costs  £8 per MB if users go over their allowance. T-Mobile charges £10 per 10MB outside the EU,  although this rises to £75 for the same deal, depending on the country visited. Some people recommend buying a local SIM card to use when on holiday. However, this will only work for ‘unlocked’ phones and will give holidaymakers a new contact number.  Companies such as 0044 or Lebara allow consumers to buy foreign SIM cards before they go away. To avoid shock bills, experts recommend trying to download films, maps or music before departure. When it comes to calls, the European Commission has vowed landline calls anywhere in Europe will cost the same as ringing friends at home, while mobile calls will be capped at 16p a minute, but there are no plans to prevent high charges for holiday makers venturing further afield. The proposals outlined by the European Commission would 'abolish premiums' within the 28 member states, meaning dialling relatives abroad would cost the same as a long-distance, domestic call. However, Three has become the first UK mobile operator to allow holidaymakers to text and call the UK, as well as go online as part of their current mobile phone contracts. The company launched its ‘Feel at Home scheme,’ which lets Three customers use their phones in the republic of Ireland, Australia, Italy, Austria, Hong Kong, Sweden and Denmark without being billed for extra international roaming charges. It is hoped the move will spark a war among mobile phone network providers to let people use their phones abroad without worrying about the consequences." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Bill is more than double holidaymaker's entire annual salary .\nShe ran up the charges by uploading 'a few' pictures to Facebook .\nOrange have slashed the bill but insist she must still pay £875 .\nShe plans to fight the charges in court .\nRow comes as European Commission plans to scrap EU roaming charges ." } ]

Now the Glock has been chosen by the Ministry of Defence to replace the trusty old Cold War-era Browning pistol after almost 50 years. More than 25,000 are being purchased for Britain’s Armed Forces under a £9million contract. Kitted out: The Ministry of Defence has purchased 25,000 Glock 17 9mm handguns to be used by troops . Testing: Royal Marine Sergeant Steve Lord tests a Glock 17 9mm pistol. The gun has become the first new sidearm to be issued to UK troops since 1967 . First choice: The Mod undertook rigorous testing before choosing the new firearm, firing 40,000 over the testing period . It is the first time since 1967 - before the Troubles in Northern Ireland - that UK troops have been issued with a new sidearm. Defence chiefs say the Austrian-made Glock 17 Gen 4 is lighter, carries more bullets, fires more quickly and accurately, and is safer to handle than the Browning. While the replacement was not ordered in response to any specific threat, military commanders are clear that it will make it easier for troops in Afghanistan to respond to ‘green on blue’ attacks. Replacement: A Glock 17 9mm pistol, top, and its predecessor, a Browning 9mm, below. The MoD said the Browning was becoming too expensive to maintain . On Monday, Sapper Richard Walker, 23, became the 24th British serviceman shot dead by an Afghan army or police turncoat. The Glock takes less than a second to draw and fire, compared to the Browning which even for an expert often takes four or five seconds to remove from its holster, load the chamber and shoot. Colonel Peter Warden, head of the light weapons team at the Defence Equipment and Support organisation, said: ‘It won’t specifically address that [green on blue attacks] but overall it does improve the ability of guys to shoot back.’ Sergeant Steve Lord, 35, a Royal Marine based at the Commando Training Centre in Lympstone, Devon, said: ‘If I can pick it up quicker, the faster I can shoot. ‘The faster I can shoot, the more chance I have of winning a fight.’ The Glock 17s will be delivered within weeks and troops deployed to Afghanistan will be among the first to carry them. The MoD began searching for a new sidearm in 2010 because the Browning was becoming increasingly expensive to maintain. Col Warden said: ‘It’s like a car. There is a point where it becomes more effective to buy a new model rather than continue to maintain the old one.’ He said that pistols were also increasingly useful during counter-insurgency operations, such as in Helmand, where soldiers mingle among the population. Lightweight: The Glock 17 is made from plastic and weighs 650g, around two-thirds of the Browning . Efficient: Defence chiefs say the Austrian-made . Glock 17 Gen 4 is lighter, carries more bullets, fires more quickly and . accurately, and is safer to handle than the Browning . ‘In the 1970s and 1980s the infantry was trained for long-range engagements with the enemy,’ he said. ‘Since Iraq, the role has changed. Now it is much more about compound clearance, getting closer to where the threat and enemy is. Rifles are less useful.’ Defence chiefs conducted extensive laboratory tests and field trials in jungle, desert and Arctic environments, firing 40,000 rounds before choosing the Glock. Made of plastic instead of metal, the gun weighs 650g - around two-thirds of the Browning. It is semi-automatic allowing a large number of rounds to be fired off quickly. Each magazine carries up to 33 9mm bullets, compared to 13 in the Browning. It also has three safety mechanisms to prevent accidental discharge, including a ‘mini-trigger’ built into the main trigger so it is unlikely to fire if pressed unintentionally. ‘You can drop it on the floor and it won’t go off, or kick it around and it won’t go off,’ said Col Warden. The Glock was designed in 1982 by Austrian radiator factory manager Gaston Glock, responding to a tender put out by the country’s military. The firearm was first introduced to police in the U.S. after they found themselves outgunned by violent criminal gangs. It is now used by two-thirds of all U.S. police departments, including the specialist FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration. Glocks are also issued by the Firearms Command of the Metropolitan Police Service and the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

The spot in London's exclusive Hyde Park Gardens measures just 11ft x 12ft, but its price tag is almost double the £162,000 paid for the average house sold in England and Wales last month. Estate agents Kay & Co, who last year sold two nearby parking spaces for £250,000 each, said several people had already expressed an interest in snapping up the six-figure spot. Eye-watering: The 11ft x 21ft parking space in London's exclusive Hyde Park Gardens, seen left in an aerial shot and right, is on the market for £300,000 . The agent said parking spaces are in hot demand in Hyde Park Gardens, where houses cost up to £15million. Its buyer will be paying £1,299 per square foot for the privilege of owning a central space in Westminster. Exclusive: The parking space in the millionaires' enclave costs almost twice as much as the average UK home . The 231 sq ft parking spot, which is . being sold with a 91-year lease, costs £500 more than a nearby studio . flat sold by the agent last week. Hyde Park Gardens' residents pockets may be deep enough to splash out £300,000 on a parking space without breaking a sweat. But mere mortals might prefer to spend the six-figure sum on something a little more spacious - a five bedroom home in Leeds, perhaps. An executive five bedroom property in Rothwell complete with gardens, driveway and a detached garage is on the market for the same price as the tiny central London space. Buyers with £300,000 to spend could also snap up a luxury apartment in the Orion building in Birmingham city centre, or a two bedroom apartment in a stone-fronted period building in Clifton, one of the most desirable areas of Bristol. In London, the same figure could pay for a three bedroom terraced house in Canning Town, a three bedroom flat in Shepherds Bush, or a studio flat in the City within walking distance of Chancery Lane. It costs more than a Rolls-Royce, and 15 times as much as the BMW 1 Series which seen in the space in the above picture. Matthew Abernethy, associate director at Kay & Co, said: 'There are a number of properties in the area which range from £1 to £15 million and there are not enough parking spaces for all the residents. 'Parking in this part of prime central London is always scarce and the fact that people will pay more than the price of a small flat for the privilege of their own parking space is indicative of the desirability of having parking in Westminster. 'We anticipate that the space will attract interest from local residents eager to secure parking close by.' Parking fines in Westminster range between £80 and £130 depending on the severity of the offence, and they are halved if paid in less than 14 days. This means, on the basis of the £40 fine, it would take more than 20 years - 7,300 days - to rack up £300,000 in fines. However, over the period of the 91 year lease, it works out at just £9.20 per day to park in the space. In 2011 an underground parking space near Harrods was put on the market for £200,000. It is not just London where the price of a parking space has gone through the roof.

McDonald’s Corp. will roll out the change early next year in the U.S., where people will be able to pick a salad instead of fries at no extra cost. McDonald’s says it already lets customers make such swaps in some countries, such as France. Healthy options: McDonald's will start letting customers swap fries for salads in the new year for no extra cost in value meals . But now it says it now work to make the options available in 20 of its biggest markets around the world, which represent 85 percent of sales. McDonald’s, which has more than 34,000 locations around the world, said the change will be in place in 30 to 50 percent of the areas within the next three years and 100 percent the regions by 2020. The world’s biggest hamburger chain made the announcement at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York City, where CEO Don Thompson made an appearance on stage with former President Bill Clinton. In an interview before the announcement, Thompson said McDonald’s is looking at developing other healthy sides that will appeal to customers. He noted that the company could also take the fruits and vegetables it offers in other parts of the world, such as cups of corn and kiwi on a stick, and make them more widely available. 'What is it that customers will choose, and what will they eat?' Thompson said. 'What we don’t want to do is just put something on the menu and say, hey, we did it. We really want consumption.' Value pack: The humble hamburger is usually accompanied by fries in McDonald's value meals, but soon vegetables and fruit will be an option . McDonald’s also announced that it would use its packaging to make healthier options more appealing to kids. For example, a side of carrots might come in a more colorfully designed bag. Parents will still be able to order soda with Happy Meals, but McDonald’s says it will only promote milk, juice and water on menu boards and in advertising. All advertising to kids will include a 'fun nutrition or children’s well-being' message, the company said. Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy at the health advocacy group Center for Science in the Public Interest, said taking soda off the menu as an option for Happy Meals was a big step that other fast-food chains should follow. But she said the push to include positive nutrition messages in ads to kids could serve to give McDonald’s a 'health halo' that it doesn’t necessarily deserve. 'The changes McDonald’s are making make the food somewhat healthier. But I don’t think a hamburger, some applies and fries is something I’d call healthy,' she said. McDonald's is also trying to encourage consumers to drink low fat milk drinks instead of sodas . The announcement comes as McDonald’s faces criticism from health advocates who say it promotes bad eating habits. After years of outperforming its rivals, McDonald’s is also struggling to shake its fast-food image and keep up with shifting tastes. Late last year, the company reported its first monthly sales decline in nearly a decade and sales performance around the world has been choppy ever since. To better reflect the way people are eating, McDonald’s recently started giving customers the choice to substitute egg whites in all its breakfast sandwiches. It also rolled out chicken wraps, which are partly intended to go after people who want foods they feel are fresher or healthier. Earlier in the week, rival Burger King rolled out lower-calorie french fries, reflecting the growing demand for better-for-you options. McDonald’s marketing to children is also an ongoing issue. A recent study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, for example, found that the chain’s ads targeting children often emphasize toy giveaways and movie tie-ins, rather than food. And at its latest annual shareholders meeting, a 9-year-old girl made headlines after she stood to ask Thompson to stop 'tricking' kids into eating the company’s food. The girl was with her mother, who was affiliated with Corporate Accountability, which has pressured McDonald’s to changes its marketing practices to kids. The criticism is clearly a sensitive topic for Thompson, who noted that the Alliance for a Healthier Generation was among the first organizations that approached the company to use its “marketing might” to help kids. The group, which is working with McDonald’s on its new health goals, was founded by the Clinton Global Initiative and the American Heart Association.“Others have said, ‘McDonald’s, don’t advertise to kids,’” Thompson said. “We’ve always felt like, wow, if we had the impact that you think we have, why don’t we leverage it to do something great for kids?”Howell Wechsler, CEO of Alliance for a Healthier Generation, said the commitments made by McDonald’s were worked out over the course of more than a year. He said the final agreement could help change the way people eat over time, given McDonald’s enormous reach." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "McDonald's CEO Don Thompson made announcement at Clinton Global Initiative in NYC .\nCompany already lets customers swap fries for salad in France .\nSubstituting salad for fries will be at no extra cost in value meals ." } ]

Henry has been seen as a real success story in the MLS - scoring 51 goals in 122 matches following his move from Barcelona in 2010.

Henry has steadfastly refused to talk about his future despite making it clear he would not be signing a new deal to replace the one which ran out at the end of the MLS season. But he admitted: 'I didn't want to be the focus to be on me. I had a blast. It was tough personally for me but I embraced the MLS and New York. It's not easy, if players come here at a late stage in their career and they are not ready to perform, it is not like that. 'The decision was pretty easy for me.

I can't scream at these guys anymore – I am sure they won't miss that. When get upset it is for the good of the team. I always try my best. 'I will miss being in the dressing room.

I am taking this opportunity to announce that unfortunately Saturday was my last game for the New York Red Bulls. The decision has always been that I would leave after the duration of my contract and although that was never going to change, I didn't want it to distract from the progress of the team.

The Prime Minister will travel to Brussels this afternoon to debate stretching new targets that will require Britain to slash carbon emissions by 40 per cent by 2030. But a new report from the respected think tank Open Europe warns that existing targets are already putting Britain’s economy and living standards at risk, and calls for them to be ditched. Ministers insist that the targets will strengthen Britain’s energy supplies and, in the long term, produce thousands of ‘green jobs’. But today’s study, based on an analysis of official Government figures, suggests that EU green measures have already added £59 to the average dual fuel energy bill in this country. It suggests this figure will rise to £149 by 2020 as the Government strives to meet a binding target of producing 15 per cent of electricity from renewable sources. Today’s report warns that the impact on business will be even greater, with the average medium-sized firm set to see its energy bills rise by 23 per cent as a result of green measures emanating from Brussels. And it says the potential economic benefits of meeting the targets have been grossly over-stated. The report’s author Raoul Ruparel said Mr Cameron should now push for the targets to be abandoned. If other EU leaders refuse, the UK should drop them unilaterally. He added: ‘Despite admirable goals the EU’s green policies have imposed huge costs but delivered limited benefit and are marred by conflicting objectives. 'With people in the UK concerned about the cost of living, business still struggling to balance their books and Europe needing a more flexible energy supply to wean itself off dependence on Russian gas, a radical re-think of the EU’s energy policy is now vital. Neither the EU nor the UK can afford to waste more time on a costly and failing policy.’ The Department for Energy and Climate Change last night said it ‘does not recognise’ the Open Europe analysis – and insisted that the drive for green energy was reducing bills. The existing EU targets require the UK to increase the proportion of energy produced from renewable sources like wind farms from about four per cent in 2012 to 15 per cent by 2020 . A spokesman said: ‘We don’t recognise the way these figures have been presented. We estimate that, in 2013, household energy bills were, on average, around five per cent lower than they would have been in the absence of all our energy and climate change policies. In 2020, we estimate that our policies will continue to reduce energy bills. ‘We need a diverse energy mix that includes renewable sources like wind and solar in order to reduce our reliance on imports from often volatile parts of the world.’ The existing EU targets require the UK to increase the proportion of energy produced from renewable sources like wind farms from about four per cent in 2012 to 15 per cent by 2020 – the fastest increase in the EU . Today’s report says this will require about 30 per cent of electricity to come from alternative sources, mostly on-shore wind, which enjoys large subsidies from the taxpayer. Today’s report suggests this would be dwarfed by potential savings of up to £21 billion that would be achieved by ignoring the targets. File picture . The targets are legally binding and Britain could face swingeing fines from Brussels of more than £220 million a year if it abandons them unilaterally. But today’s report suggests this would be dwarfed by potential savings of up to £21 billion that would be achieved by ignoring the targets – money that could be ploughed into insulating homes and improving energy efficiency. The study also suggests that projected benefits of meeting the targets have been based on a series of ‘flawed assumptions’. Most importantly, the EU initiative has not led to a global deal on emissions. As a result the benefit to the UK of £160 billion, which was predicted in 2009, has instead turned into a likely net cost of £17 billion.

Ronald Citarelli, 49, was taken into custody Tuesday on charges of first-degree murder and burglary in connection to the death of Barbara Minardi in Deltona, Florida. Also on Tuesday the Volusia County Sheriff's Office released the heart-breaking 911 call placed by Miss Minardi's son-in-law after he and his wife discovered the elderly woman dead inside her home on Omaha Driver just before 9pm Monday. Scroll down for video . Brutal crime: Ronald Citarelli, 49 (left), has been charged with first-degree murder in the killing of 85-year-old widow Barbara Minardi (right) in Deltona, Florida . Shocking discovery: Minardi's daughter and son-in-law came by her house on Omaha Drive Monday evening to check up on her, only to find the octogenarian dead from blunt-force trauma . Gut-wrenching call: Don Callison, Minardi's son-in-law , called 911 to report the murder as his hysterical wife (pictured right) wailed in the background . On the call, Barbara Minardi's daughter, Cindy Callison, could be heard wailing and sobbing uncontrollably while her husband, Don, tries to give information to the emergency dispatcher, reported WKMG. Struggling to keep his composure, Mr Callison tells the female 911 operator that he and his wife stopped by Barbara Minardi's home at around 8.45pm to check up on her after failing to reach her by phone all the day. The house was locked and there was no light inside, but the blinds were open. The Callisons also noticed that Minardi's Nissan was gone from her driveway. When the couple entered the house, Cindy Callison, a registered nurse, discovered her mother's lifeless body. When asked by the emergency dispatcher if CPR might help, Don Callison said that his mother-in-law was dead but asked her to send a paramedic for his hysterical wife who suffers from a heart condition. It is believed that the octogenarian, who had spent 13 years volunteering with the sheriff's office, died from blunt-force trauma. An autopsy will be performed to determine the exact cause of death. Busted: Citarelli, a homeless handyman, was picked up by police just hours after the killing when the victim's stolen car was spotted next to his acquaintances' home 7 miles away from the crime scene . About three hours later, Ronald Citarelli was apprehended by deputies acting on a tip about a sighting of Barbara Minardi's stolen car just 7 miles from the crime scene. The 2010 grey Nissan Altima was found parked outside a house on Comstock Drive belonging to Citarelli's acquaintances. Officers set up a stakeout outside the residence and collared Citarelli as he was leaving the house on foot. They also recovered some stolen property connecting him to Minardi’s killing. According to investigators, Ronald Citarelli knew Barbara Minardi because he had recently installed flooring in her home. Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson had some harsh words for the man suspected of killing the woman he described as the unsung hero of the department who never sought any credit for her hard work. ‘I think he should get the chair. Of course we don't have that anymore, but he should get the death penalty. He deserves the death penalty,’ Johnson told WFTV. According to the woman's grieving family, Barbara Minardi had been living alone since 1999, when her husband lost his battle with cancer. Despite her advanced age, the retiree was independent and active, joining social clubs and enjoying spending time with friends and family, reported The Daytona Beach News-Journal. To keep herself busy, in 2001 Minardi joined the sheriff's office in Deltona as a volunteer, doing filing work, answering phones and putting together DNA kits. Big family: Cindy and Don Callison, pictured left with their granddaughter. Mrs Minardi (right) is survived by nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren . Keeping busy: Despite her advanced age, Minardi was very independent and active . Targeted: Citarelli was familiar with Minardi and knew the widow was living alone because he had installed her flooring recently . Cindy and Don Callison were shocked to learn that Ronald Citarelli, whom they described as a pleasant 'smooth talker,' has been charged with the murder. Mrs Callison recalled how one time Citarelli showed up to do work on her mother's floors with two women in tow - one of them pregnant - whom he introduced as his sisters. The elderly homeowner even donated some furniture to the expectant mother, Cindy Callison said.

The 33-year-old, who has 158 international caps and captained Spain to glory at the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2008 and Euro 2012, has come under increasing pressure for club and country after a series of disappointing displays. 'I'm not immortal,' Casillas told AS after being benched for Spain's 4-0 win against Luxembourg. 'I will not last forever.' Spain goalkeeper Iker Casillas watches on as Miroslav Stoch's header bounces past him to seal Slovakia's win . Earlier in the game Casillas failed to stop a speculative free-kick by Juraj Kucka, who flipped in celebration . The defeat cost Casillas his place in Spain's starting XI for their next qualification game against Luxembourg . 'Everybody has to make their own decision about when to leave the national team, but I feel good, strong and with the desire to help my country do the best we can to be in France and to win the tournament, which isn't going to be easy.' De Gea started in Casillas's place for the win against Luxembourg on Sunday, after the latter performed poorly in the 2-1 defeat to Slovakia on October 9. Spain boss Vicente del Bosque has told both goalkeepers that no immediate decision has been made about who will be No 1, and urged the pair to challenge one another for a starting spot. Age: 33 . Caps: 158 . Clubs: Real Madrid . Honours: 5 La Liga titles, 3 Champions League titles, 2 UEFA Super Cup . Age: 23 . Caps: 3 . Clubs: Atletico Madrid, Manchester United . Honours: Premier League, Europa League, UEFA Super Cup . 'We had decided to make changes and we have to make sure there is an easy transition. Both can play. They have to get used to the change bit by bit, as much David as Iker,' Del Bosque told reporters. 'I wasn't taken aback by what Del Bosque said because I have a fantastic relationship with him,' Casillas replied. 'He said the same thing to me and I didn't take it personally. I'm not going to be able to play forever. There are players coming through and I don't view it badly at all.' De Gea is expected to make Spain's No 1 jersey his own for years to come after starting against Luxembourg . Casillas was forced to watch the action unfold as Spain romped to a comfortable 4-0 victory in Luxembourg . Diego Costa, who scored his first goal for his country on his sixth appearance, is congratulated by Marc Bartra . On his mistakes against Slovakia, which included failing to keep out a speculative first-half free-kick from Juraj Kucka that gave the hosts the lead, he said: 'After a game that you didn't win things go through your mind, you talk to yourself, the same as when your little brother plays a trick on you and you think: \"I'll kill him.\" It's a fixed expression. 'Obviously I'll keep going with the national team and for that reason I have to fight for my place with my club. But my idea is to keep playing for the national team. 'Nobody has been unfair on me. When you have played for a team like Real Madrid or Spain for so long, people demand you be the best, the player you always have been. 'You have to keep going, soak up the pressure and respond how you know how, by playing football. But over these years I'll remember the good times more than the bad times, which I think are better.' De Gea, centre, and Kiko Casilla, back left, watch Casillas make a smart stop in Spain training . Despite Del Bosque picking De Gea ahead of Casillas for Spain's latest game, the experienced goalkeeper has been given the backing of Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti. 'Of course it's nice when your manager speaks well of you,' he said, 'but not just about me, also about Alvaro Arbeloa, who he mentioned the other day, and Cristiano Ronaldo. It's good because the link we have with the manager is positive and it needs to be throughout the season.' Reports in Spain have also suggested that Casillas may lose his club spot to De Gea, with Madrid linked with a lucrative move for the United shot-stopper. 'I feel loved in the Bernabeu [despite fans whistling him in recent games],' Casillas insisted. 'Nobody likes to be whistled but the fans are sovereign and they can express themselves however they like. I have to play well and hopefully at the end of the season we'll be able to come together at Cibeles [a famous square in Madrid] after winning a title.'

Two-thirds of English MPs want generous subsidies to Scotland to be axed if the country voted to stay in the UK. David Cameron sparked fury among Tory MPs this week by pledging to keep the controversial Barnett formula, as part of a desperate bid to persuade Scots to vote No to independence. Even his ministers were last night in open revolt over the issue, with Transport Minister Claire Perry warning the Prime Minister to stop handing out ‘financial party bags’ to Alex Salmond. The formula, which has been the source of resentment for years, means that public spending per head is £1,623 a year higher in Scotland than in England. A poll last night revealed that 63 per cent of English MPs now want to axe the formula. The survey, by Dods Polling, found this included 83 per cent of Conservatives, 41 per cent of Labour MPs and 78 per cent of Liberal Democrats. Mrs Perry broke cover before the polls in Scotland had even closed to warn against handing ‘goodies’ to Edinburgh without also introducing a fairer deal for England. Scroll down for video . Writing in her local paper, the Wiltshire Gazette, she said it is likely that Parliament will be recalled in the coming days to debate the fallout from the vote. She added: ‘If the result is a narrow No, this will be a running sore in politics for years to come with demands from Holyrood every few years for another go at the question. 'If there is a proposal to allow devolution of local taxation, as well maintaining the current level of funding as a dollop from the UK Parliament, then that can hardly be equitable for those of us in all other areas in the non-Scottish Union.’ The Saltire and the Union flag were held aloft on Arthur's Seat in Edinburgh this morning ahead of the referendum today . Defence minister Anna Soubry also acknowledged yesterday that greater devolution to Scotland ‘will cause controversy in Wales and England’. Many MPs believe Mr Cameron made a mistake by agreeing to keep the Barnett formula under pressure from Gordon Brown. They are also pressing for Scottish MPs to be barred from voting on English matters, particularly if Scotland is handed new powers over tax and benefits. Tory MP Anne-Marie Morris said Mr Cameron’s policy to offer Scotland devo max was ‘not thought through, and is concerning many of my constituents who feel it is unfair’. David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg signed a joint declaration promising to devolve more powers to Scotland in the event of a 'No' vote . Graham Brady, chairman of the powerful 1922 Committee of backbench Tory MPs, said neither the party nor the public would accept a devolution deal that fails to address English concerns. He said: ‘The devolution settlement introduced by Labour was unbalanced and created two different classes of MP. ‘That should have been corrected already in the interest of democracy and fairness.’ Government sources insist Mr Cameron is ‘very aware’ of the anger over the so-called ‘English question’. He is expected to come forward with proposals to curb the voting rights of Scottish MPs as part of any new devolution settlement. But several Tory MPs warned that they could throw out the entire plan to hand greater powers to Scotland unless the Barnett formula is also scrapped. Tory MP Christopher Chope said: ‘The party leaders don’t have the authority to make a bribe on behalf of the people of the UK. ‘Taxation is an issue for Parliament. We don’t legislate by presidential-style decree.’ Ed Miliband was last night facing criticism over his shambolic No campaign, amid reports that 30 per cent of Labour supporters are poised to vote Yes – up from 18 per cent last month. The Labour leader spent the final week of the campaign touring Scotland. But he was escorted to safety this week after being jostled by Yes supporters during a trip to an Edinburgh shopping centre. He then pulled out of two events on the closing day of campaigning. And Mr Miliband’s poor personal ratings in Scotland mirror his ratings in England, despite low levels of Scottish support for the Conservatives. Henry McLeish, the former first minister of Scotland, said the No campaign led by the Labour leader had been negative and disorganised, adding: ‘If it is a no vote, Gordon Brown will have been largely responsible for that.

Almost half of the 700,000 women who have babies every year in England and Wales are at such low risk of complications they do not need to visit the labour ward, says NICE. New guidelines published today say a smaller, midwife-led unit is just as safe as hospital for first-time mothers. Bonding: Almost half of women could have a home birth without severe risk, say new guidelines (file photo) For those having their second child, a home delivery is just as safe as in hospital and usually a far more joyful experience. Yet figures show that just 2.3 per cent of women currently have home deliveries and a further 4 per cent in midwife units, while the remainder head to hospital. It marks a major shift in guidelines, which had previously urged caution over home births as the risks were deemed higher. The watchdog says it has now examined new evidence, including an Oxford University study of 64,000 women, which showed that home births and units were safer because they are less likely to involve high-risk interventions such as caesarean sections, epidurials or deliveries with forceps. Such procedures may be carried out too readily by doctors, while midwives are thought to have a more patient approach, it says. The big debate: The watchdog said it had studied new evidence including a study of 64,000 women . The research did, however, show that home births are marginally more dangerous for the baby for first-time mothers – although the risks are very small. Avoiding hospital also saves the NHS money. Figures show that a hospital birth costs £1,631, while it costs £1,450 for a midwife centre and £1,066 for a home birth. However, NICE stressed that new evidence on risk – and not cost – was the reason for the change. Professor Mark Baker, NICE’s clinical practice director, said: ‘Most women are healthy and have straightforward pregnancies and births. Over the years, evidence has emerged which shows that, for this group of women, giving birth in a midwife-led unit instead of a traditional labour ward is a safe option. Mothers are being warned that falling asleep with their babies while breastfeeding in bed is linked to cot death. The health watchdog NICE says it increases the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), although it stopped short of telling women not to sleep with their newborns because it may interfere with breastfeeding. It said exhausted parents should not feel guilty if they find they have accidentally nodded off with the baby, but must be aware of the ‘association’ with SIDS. Experts are not clear what causes SIDS, previously known as cot death, but it may be due to suffocation, infection or genetics. Professor Mark Baker of NICE admitted it was a ‘confusing’ message, but added: ‘We’re not telling people not to co-sleep with their babies, we know that could get in the way with breastfeeding, but it’s better that parents should know and make their own judgments.’ ‘Research also shows that a home birth is generally safer than hospital for pregnant women at low risk of complications who have given birth before.’ Professor Susan Bewley, who drew up the guidelines, said birth was now ‘mostly’ safe but said there is no ‘one size fits all’ choice of location during labour. She added: ‘Some women may prefer to have their baby at home or in a midwife-led unit because they are generally safer – that is their right and they should be supported in that choice. ‘But if a woman would prefer to have her baby in a hospital because it makes her feel ‘safer’, that is also her right.’ NICE said that overall, giving birth at home or in midwife-led units was a far happier experience. However, women who are obese or have asthma, diabetes or epilepsy or who have had a previous difficult birth are urged to go to hospital. Midwives and GPs are now urged to spell out the options open to women and make it clear that hospitals are not necessarily safest. Professor Alan Cameron, of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, said there was now better emphasis on patient choice. Cathy Warwick, chief executive of the Royal College of Midwives, added: ‘It is important that women feel able to make the choices that are right for them.’" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Push towards small midwife-led units by NICE marks major policy shift .\nWatchdog said it examined new evidence including 64,000-mother study .\nBut home births still marginally more dangerous for first-time mothers ." } ]

A Boston man has been arrested after police say he used the name of an aunt who had been dead for more than a decade to try and claim about $2.2million from the Boston Marathon bomb victims fund. The Massachusetts Attorney General's office said Branden Mattier, 22, told the fund's administrators that his aunt, Onevia Bradley, lost both of her legs in the attack on April 15 when two improvised pressure cooker bombs exploded at the finish line, killing three people and injuring 264 others. But Miss Bradley the aunt had been dead for more than 10 years and Mattier was arrested at his home in Boston when an undercover police officer presented him with a fake check for $2.2million, prosecutors said. ‘Because every dollar was allocated to victims, he sought to take these funds away from real victims of the Marathon attack and from the thousands of people who had so generously given to help those who truly need it,’ Attorney General Martha Coakley said in a statement. Mattier, an aspiring rapper and self-described film maker, is being charged with attempted larceny and identity theft. He is expected to be arraigned Wednesday. The marathon bombing victims’ fund, called The One Fund, was established by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. It has so far brought in more than $62million in donations, according to its website. The fund is being managed by Kenneth Feinberg, an arbitration attorney who also oversaw compensation for victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks and the theater shootings in Aurora, Colorado. Brazen: Mattier posted this photo online of himself posing with an administrator from The One Fund, accompanied by the caption: 'Just spoke with Feinberg about what we can provide to help the city move forward in this tragedy, he loved it.'

Aspiring rapper: Mattier (right), who goes by the stage name The Real Soulja Boy, now faces attempted larceny and identity theft charges .

According to a press release from the Attorney General's office, the investigation revealed that on May 7, Mattier attended a Town Hall meeting at the Boston Public Library on behalf of his supposedly injured aunt. Three weeks later, he followed up by sending an email to The One Fund asking if his aunt could make a claim as a double amputee if the amputation was expected to be performed in the future. 'In June, The One Fund received Mattier’s claim form along with a letter allegedly from the chief of trauma services at the Boston Medical Center affirming his aunt as a double amputee,' the release stated. 'The letter was dated May 2, a full 27 days before Mattier’s email.' Charity: The marathon bombing victims' fund, called The One Fund, was established by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick to help the victims of the attack . Tragedy: Two improvised pressure cooker bombs exploded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon April 15 , killing three people and injuring 264 others . According to officials, the letter from the hospital was a forgery, and that Mattier’s aunt was never treated there. Mattier, who goes by the stage name The Real Soulja Boy, posted a photo May 7 on his Instagram account of himself posing with an administrator from The One Fund, accompanied by the caption: 'Just spoke with Feinberg about what we can provide to help the city move forward in this tragedy, he loved it. #OneFundBoston #Boston #BostonMarathon [new inner city developments on the way.] 🙏 #ss' In another image uploaded that same day, Mattier is seen holding paperwork at the offices of The One Found.

A health aide to a man with Down syndrome who died after being dragged from a Maryland theater had warned police that he would ‘freak out’ if they touched or spoke to him, according to an investigative file released Monday. Robert ‘Ethan’ Saylor, 26, passed away from asphyxia minutes later, after three Frederick County Sheriff's deputies handcuffed the flailing, 294-pound man as he screamed, cursed and cried for his mother, witnesses say. Saylor's offense, according to the file documents: He had not purchased a ticket for a repeat viewing of the movie Zero Dark Thirty. The 98-page incident report and handwritten statements from 22 witnesses add new details to a case that remains in the spotlight six months after Saylor's death on January 12. Critics continue to call for an independent investigation of the deputies' actions after a grand jury's decision in March not to indict them for what the state medical examiner's office has ruled a homicide. The 18-year-old caretaker, whose name is redacted from the documents, wrote that she had been Saylor's aide for three months before he died. She said Saylor, known to his family as Ethan, had a history of angry outbursts, including one earlier that night. They had already seen the movie once and were outside the Frederick theater when she asked Saylor if he was ready to go home. Saylor began cursing and punched a Lenscrafters storefront window, she told police. Somewhat frightened, the caretaker called Saylor's mother, 55-year-old Patti Saylor, of New Market. ‘Patti told her to just wait him out and his attitude will change,’ an investigator wrote in a follow-up interview report. No charges: A grand jury ruled in March that the three Maryland Sheriff's deputies involved in the death of Ethan Saylor, left, at a Westview movie theater, right, will not face criminal charges . The caretaker then spoke by phone with . another of Saylor's caretakers. He advised her to leave Saylor in front . of the theater while she got the car, giving him a few minutes alone to . calm himself. But by the . time she returned, Saylor had gone back into the theater and seated . himself. As she walked in, the manager of the cinema was telling Saylor . he had to either purchase a ticket to watch the film again, or leave the . auditorium. In response, the 26-year-old man said he had no money for another viewing. ‘I . explained, “Yes, we are having a little issue, I'll handle it. We just . have to be patient,\"’ the caretaker wrote in her statement. The . manager then summoned one of the three deputies, Sgt. Rich Rochford. All of the deputies were moonlighting as mall security officers. ‘Then . a sheriff came and said, “Another show is starting. I have to go get . him out,\"’ the caretaker wrote. ‘I explained Ethan is Down syndrome.’ She said she told the officer that if he spoke to Saylor, ‘he will curse.’ She advised him to ‘wait it out.’ Full life: With an IQ of 40, Ethan loved music, idolized law enforcement and was encouraged by his family to be independent . Justice for Ethan: The 26-year-old man's family, including brother Adam (left) and sister Emma (right), are calling for an independent probe into their sibling's untimely death . ‘Then the sheriff went in and started talking to Ethan and Ethan was cursing at him,’ the woman stated. She said the officer threatened to take Mr Saylor to jail, a statement corroborated by other witnesses. ‘I . then said, “Please don't touch him, he will freak out,\"’ the aide . wrote. ‘Next thing I know, there are I think three or four cops holding . Ethan, trying to put him in handcuffs.’ As the officers pulled the struggling Saylor from his seat and down an exit ramp, they went down out of view of most witnesses. One . customer told police an officer had his knee on Saylor's lower back . while the other deputies held Saylor's shoulders. At least two witnesses . said the kneeling officer's knee was on the floor. Nobody reported . seeing the officers touch Saylor's neck. 'Mommy!' a witness later reported hearing Saylor cry out while struggling with the deputies. ‘It hurt [sic], call my mom.' Another . witness wrote in his statement that the 26-year-old could be heard . ‘squalling’ and repeatedly saying ‘no’ as the officers wrestled with . him, one of them even reading him his Miranda rights, the Washington Post reported. Neither . Saylor nor his 18-year-old health aide knew that Patti Saylor was just . five minutes away from the theater. But she arrived too late. Witness accounts: Theater goers who were present during the incident reported hearing Ethan cry for his mother and struggle with the officers . Saylor . became unconscious, so the deputies rolled him over, by all accounts. The deputies couldn't find a pulse, so they removed the handcuffs and . started chest compressions until he started breathing again, snoring but . unconscious, according to all accounts. They asked the caretaker if she could wake him. ‘I tapped him and said, “Wake up, Ethan,\"’ she wrote. Mr Saylor never regained consciousness, despite the efforts of ambulance workers who arrived soon afterward. The . state medical examiner's office found signs of ‘positional’ asphyxia, . or having been in a position in which he couldn't breathe. There was . also unexplained damage to Saylor's larynx. The . autopsy concluded Saylor would not have died had the officers not . intervened. The autopsy also found that Saylor's developmental . disability, obesity, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and a heart . abnormality contributed to the death. According . to Ethan's mother and siblings, 21-year-old brother Adam and . 23-year-old sister Emma, the 26-year-old idolized law enforcement and . amassed a large collection of badges and baseball caps with words like . 'police' and 'sheriff' emblazoned across the front. Despite . having an IQ of 40, his mother, a nurse with special education degree, . had always encouraged Ethan to be independent and go places with his . aides. In a message posted Wednesday on the Facebook account Justice for Ethan, Patti Saylor wrote that even as her son was . being dragged to his death by police, he was on his cell phone trying to . arrange for a movie ticket purchase or for someone to bring him . money. Music-lover: Robert Saylor pictured with a relative was a big music fan and a member of his church choir . 'No one took the . time to understand this and he did not have the capacity to explain this . with words,' the 55-year-old nurse wrote. 'No one ever asked what he . might have been doing to address the need for a ticket when he didn't . have his own money!' Mrs . Saylor has renewed calls for an independent investigation into the death . of her son, calling the official probe conducted by the sheriff's . department a 'travesty.' In March, State's Attorney J. Charles . Smith announced that Lt. Scott Jewell, Sgt. Rich Rochford and Deputy . First Class James Harris would not face criminal charges in Saylor's . death. Patrick McAndrew, a lawyer for the . three officers, said 'each one of these deputies is the consummate law . enforcement professional' and did what his training dictated. 'Those . involved have yet to acknowledge responsibility or admit his death so . easily could have been avoided with common sense, patience and . understanding,' Patti Saylor stated in her post this week. In February, the Baltimore County . Medical Examiner's office declared that 26-year-old Robert Saylor died . by homicide while being taken into custody by the three officers, ABC News reported. The New Market man, remembered for his love of music, was handcuffed and allegedly resisted arrest. According . to ABC it was alleged his face was put to the ground when he was being . apprehended by the officers, who then realized he was suffering a . 'medical emergency'. The officers removed the handcuffs, administered first aid and took him to Frederick Memorial Hospital where he later died. 'Asphyxiation': Robert Saylor, pictured, was taken to Frederick Memorial Hospital by police officers where he later died from his injuries . 'They made numerous attempts to get him to leave, he was cursing at them, at that point they psychically removed him, and he began having the medical emergency,' says Cpl.

The 72-year-old businessman and politician's new title will be Michael Bloomberg, Honorary Knight of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (KBE). It comes just weeks after David Cameron was roundly criticised for breaking protocol by recounting a conversation he'd had with the Queen while chatting to the former Mayor of New York. The Prime Minister was overheard by a TV crew's microphone telling Mr Bloomberg that the Queen had 'purred' down the line when he informed her last month that Scotland had rejected independence. Sir Michael (sort of) : Businessman and former New York mayor Michael Bloomberg has been made a Honorary Knight of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire . Billionaire Mr Bloomberg, who owns a £12million home in London's upmarket Knightsbridge and today said Britain was his 'second home', will not be travelling to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen, but said he was 'deeply honoured' by the award. He has been given the honorary knighthood for his 'prodigious entrepreneurial and philanthropic endeavours, and the many ways in which they have benefited the United Kingdom and the UK-US special relationship', the British Embassy in Washington said in a statement. But the timing of the award may be regarded as somewhat unfortunate with Mr Cameron's gaffe still fresh in the memory. On a visit to New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly, Mr Cameron was overheard to tell Mr Bloomberg: 'She purred down the line. I've never heard someone so happy.' Embarrassed Mr Cameron apologised for the incident and his aides in Number 10 have been in touch with Buckingham Palace. But he has yet to apologise in person, and is expected to say sorry to the Queen at their next formal audience. 'Definition of relief': The moment before David Cameron told Bloomberg about the Queen 'purring down the line' Mr Bloomberg, a self-confessed anglophile, has committed £42.4m in philanthropic support to the UK . As a foreign national Mr Bloomberg will be made an honorary knight, and will therefore not be Sir Michael Bloomberg, but can, if he wishes, add KBE to the end of his name. Non-British nationals can receive honorary awards awards for their important contribution to British interests. 'As Mayor of New York, as a businessman, and as a philanthropist, Mike Bloomberg has played a key role in forging transatlantic diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties,' British Ambassador to the United States Sir Peter Westmacott said today. 'He has made a significant contribution to British business life through his firm, Bloomberg L.P., and the impact of his considerable philanthropic endeavours in the arts and education is felt by Britons every day.' Big fan: Bloomberg  will not be travelling to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen, but said he was 'deeply honored' to be awarded a knighthood . Upon accepting the title, Mr Bloomberg said: 'I am deeply honoured to receive this recognition, which is especially meaningful to me because of my close personal, business, and philanthropic ties to London and Britain, which stretch back four decades. 'Over those years it has been a great privilege to work with British leaders on a wide variety of issues, and to invest - commercially, culturally, and civically - in the future of Britain, a place I have long considered my second home.' As Mayor of New York, Mr Bloomberg got on famously well with London Mayor Boris Johnson the pair worked together to boost travel between the UK capital and NYC. Mr Bloomberg, a self-confessed anglophile, is a 'great supporter of the arts and education in Britain' and has committed more than £42.4million in philanthropic support to the UK.

On Saturday he welcomes a new team-mate to the ‘greatest show on earth’: the high-wire artist Luis Suarez, capable of wowing the crowds, but also of falling from great heights as he did at the World Cup. ‘I don’t care if he bites,’ says Pique, speaking in English ahead of Saturday’s game. He immediately corrects himself. ‘I don’t care if he’s bitten before,’ he says. ‘He knows it’s not the correct way to behave but as a player he is in the top three or five strikers in the world so I am really happy to have him in my team.’ Pique knows Suarez will bring a toughness that has at times been missing from Barcelona’s make-up over the last two seasons. Barcelona's Gerard Pique (centre) jokes with Luis Suarez (left) and Lionel Messi (right) at training on Friday . Barcelona manager Luis Enrique (pictured, behind) confirmed Suarez is set to make his competitive debut . In 10 years of Clasicos Pique has seen tensions rise during the clashes between Barcelona and Real Madrid . ‘He is a different style of player for us. We have Andres Iniesta and Xavi and they are sweet players and you can enjoy watching them on the ball, it’s easy on the eye. Not with Suarez. He fights and scraps for the ball and finally gets the goal. In training you see that ultra-competitive streak. You can kick him and he just never goes down. You pull his shirt and he still goes towards the goal. It’s true that he had a reputation in England (for diving) but you fall once in the Premier League and it sticks. I have found him to be a very fair player.’ Pique has spent plenty of time up close and personal with the new man as Barcelona are put through their paces by Luis Enrique, the coach who is also preparing for his first clasico, as a manager at least. Pique, the joker, was never going to let last summer’s event pass without training-ground comment. ‘Of course we have been teasing him a little bit. Last week we had a defensive drill to practise dealing with crosses. He was the attacker and I had to defend against him and two or three times we were fighting to get to the ball first and I’d say, “Don’t bite me”. He just smiles.’ Those training drills have also reinforced just what a natural finisher Suarez is. ‘In training it’s unbelievable,’ says Pique. ‘He has got that instinct that means when there are two or three rebounds in the box, the ball will always end up at his feet and he’ll score.’ Suarez shared the Golden Boot last season with Cristiano Ronaldo, Pique’s former Manchester United team-mate whom he will face on Saturday and against whom he usually fares well. Pique admits that good record is in part owed to what were brilliant team performances as Barcelona reached near perfection under their greatest ever coach. Suarez has said biting is 'like an impulse' and that 'everyone has different ways of defending themselves' ‘In the first three or four years with Pep Guardiola I think we played the best football I can remember. And we took that into the games against Real Madrid,’ Pique says. ‘In the last two or three years it has been a little bit more difficult for us but now we have changed the mentality with Luis Enrique and we are pressing very high again and Suarez will definitely help that.’ To what extent the Uruguayan can help power Barcelona’s rediscovered high intensity after four months out will be tested on Saturday. ‘In those first few training sessions you could see that he needed to train because he was dead after 10 minutes of work,’ admits Pique. ‘I would turn around and look at him and say, “What happened to you, man?” But after two or three weeks he started to improve and now, as he showed against Oman in the last friendly for Uruguay, he is in good condition.’ The spotlight will also be on Pique on Saturday. He has been left out at times this season — something that has never happened since the days of waiting in vain for Rio Ferdinand or Nemanja Vidic to pick up an injury or suspension at United. The striker is set to make his competitive debut against Real Madrid on Saturday night after a four-month ban . The Uruguayan has also said that he is in now on the 'right path' after seeking help for his impulses to bite . Pique was a world champion with Spain and a European champion with Barcelona aged just 23. ‘It’s been a strange career having hit such incredible heights so soon. It’s not a strange career, it’s a very good career,’ he says. ‘And now here at Barcelona, it is the first time that I am not playing as much as I want to. It’s a big challenge.’ In 10 years of clasicos he has seen tensions rise during the clashes between Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, and fall since their departure. ‘To be fair I really kind of enjoyed it,’ Pique says. ‘It is true that maybe sometimes they crossed the line. And we crossed the line, too. It is just a game. But it is fine if you know how to control your emotions and everything on the pitch stays on the pitch and after the game you still have the same friendships.’ It somewhat underlines his point that former Real Madrid player Xabi Alonso now plays for Guardiola and former Barcelona team-mate Cesc Fabregas now plays for Mourinho. ‘It’s football. One day you say you hate someone and the next day you’re playing for them,’ says Pique. ‘We have a career and we always have to try to make the best of it. Fabregas loves London and so he went to Chelsea and Mourinho was there and Mourinho likes him so he said, “OK, I will play there”.’ Pique almost says that Fabregas loves Mourinho too but the old allegiances seem to prevent him getting the whole sentence out. ‘He loves Mo . . . well, I don’t know if he loves Mourinho but I think he does because he’s putting him in the team all the time and here at Barcelona it was more difficult for him,’ he says. ‘You can see after two or three months there that he made the right decision.’ Would Pique follow Fabregas back to the Premier League if United came calling? ‘I left a lot of friends at United and I was really happy there even though I did not play as much as I wanted to,’ he says. ‘But I always said that I want to retire here and if it is possible I want to stay here all my career. At this moment I am not thinking about leaving. I am really happy if it is true that Manchester United want me but I want to stay. I have been a Barcelona fan since I was a kid and all I want to do is to have success here.’ Pique (right) has been sidelined on occasion this season — something of a rarity for the Barcelona defender . On the pitch he still believes he can reach the heights of four years ago and away from football he is thriving at the head of the small company Kerad Games that has recently extended its Golden Manager online football game to mobile platforms. The game is popular with his own team-mates and involves each player picking his own team — which begs the obvious question: who’s in your forward line, Gerard? ‘Leo and Cristiano for sure,’ he says. ‘And I had (Wayne) Rooney before but now . . . now it would have to be Suarez.’ l Sky Sports is showing more of the games that matter in an unrivalled schedule of football, including El Clasico and Man Utd v Chelsea this weekend.

She defied Mexico's powerful drug gangs and survived two assassination attempts, the first of which claimed the life of her husband . The woman mayor who was kidnapped and murdered by a Mexican drug gang pleaded with her attackers for her young daughter’s life, it emerged today. Maria Santos Gorrostieta, who had already survived two assassination attempts, was driving the child to school at around 8.30am when she was ambushed by a car in the city of Morelia. The 36-year-old was hauled from her vehicle and physically assaulted as horrified witnesses watched, according to newspaper El Universal.They described how she begged for her child to be left alone and then appeared to get into her abductors’ car willingly. The little girl was left wailing as her mother was driven away on Monday November 12. For the next week, her frantic family waited by the phone for a ransom call that never came.  Gorrostieta’s body – stabbed, burned, battered and bound at wrist and ankle – would finally be found eight days on dumped by a roadside in San Juan Tararameo, Cuitzeo Township. She left behind her daughter and two sons as well as her second husband Nereo Delgado Patinoran. Hailed as a heroine of the 21st century, her death has prompted much soul-searching in a country ravaged by violence. The decision to withdraw her security team in November last year – and her police escort in January – has come under particular scrutiny.Gorrostieta was elected as mayor of Tiquicheo, a rural district in Michoacan, west of Mexico City, in 2008. Almost immediately, she received threats. The first assassination attempt came in October 2009 when the car she was travelling in with her first husband Jose Sanchez came under fire from gunmen in the town of El Limone. The attack claimed his life but Gorrostieta lived. She battled back from her injuries in the face of overwhelming tragedy, but she was not destined to know peace. The next attempt on her life was just three months later, when an masked group carrying assault rifles ambushed her on the road between Michoacan and Guerreo state. The van she was traveling in was peppered by 30 bullets. Three hit her. This time her wounds were more severe, leaving multiple scars and forcing her to wear a colostomy bag. She was left in constant pain. But with unimaginable courage – and despite being a marked woman – she remained defiant to the very end. Murder: The corpse of Dr Gorrostieta, found by farm workers from San Juan Tararameo. She had been burned, beaten and stabbed . Scene of the crime: Cuitzeo Township, close to where her corpse was discovered and Morelia, where she was kidnapped . When some doubted that she had been shot, Gorrostieta bared the scars that riddled her flesh and swore she would never give in. In a statement to the public made at the time, the devout Catholic said: 'At another stage in my life, perhaps I would have resigned from what I have, my position, my responsibilities as the leader of my Tiquicheo. 'But today, no. It is not possible for me to surrender when I have three children , whom I have to educate by setting an example, and also because of the memory of the man of my life, the father of my three little ones, the one who was able to teach me the value of things and to fight for them. 'Although he is no longer with us, he continues to be the light that guides my decisions.' She added: 'I struggle day to day to erase from my mind the images of the horror I lived, and that others who did not deserve or expect it also suffered. Grim discovery: Residents of the community of San Juan Tararameo found her body as they went to work in the fields . 'I wanted to show them my wounded, mutilated, humiliated body, because I’m not ashamed of it, because it is the product of the great misfortunes that have scarred my life, that of my children and my family.' 'Despite my own safety and that of my family, what occupies my mind is my responsibility towards my people, the children, the women, the elderly and the men who break their souls every day without rest to find a piece of bread for their children. 'Freedom brings with it responsibilities and I don’t dare fall behind. My long road is not yet finished - the footprint that we leave behind in our country depends on the battle that we lose and the loyalty we put into it.' After her ordeal she remarried and ran for a seat in Mexico's Congress of the Union, but failed to gain the backing she needed. She remarried and dropped out of the public eye. But it was still almost inevitable that she would eventually pay for her bravery with her life . Mexico has been torn apart by murderous drug gangs since President Felipe Calderon launched his drug offensive in 2006. More than 50,000 people have been killed in clashes between rival drug cartels and security forces and about two dozen mayors have been murdered. The cartels have ruled the streets with fear for years, enforcing their authority with murders, bribery and torture. But after decades of using force to combat the gangs, it is U.S. lawmakers who are the criminals' biggest problem. Legalisation of marijuana, as recently voted for by Colorado and Washington states, may wipe billions of dollars from the cartels’ annual profits. And it has left politicians in Mexico with a tough question: How can they continue to justify spending money – and lives – fighting drug distribution to America when it will be legal in some states from next month? Sickening: Dr Gorrostieta shows the wounds she sustained from the ambushers' gunfire and the subsequent car crash . Wounds: The ex-mayor was lucky to survive the second attack. She was left in constant pain and was forced to use a colostomy bag . Mexico presidential advisor Luis . Videgaray said in a radio interview last week: 'Obviously, we can’t . handle a product that is illegal in Mexico, trying to stop its transfer . to the United States, when in the United States, at least in part of the . United States, it now has a different status' From January to September last year, . 12,903 people were killed in the country in drug-related crime, ranging . from gang members, Mexican military and innocent victims caught up in . gun battles. The Mexican government claim they are winning the war on drugs, but few outside – or inside – the country believe that. So corrupt are their police that they . are rarely employed in combating the cartels. Instead, the country . relies on its army to tackle the gangs while it attempts to rebuild its . police forces. Public support for the drug war continues to fall as the death toll rises and the cartels’ profits rise. The business of trafficking drugs . from Mexico into the U.S. is estimated to be a business worth between . $13billion (£8billion) and $49billion (£30billion), with 90 per cent of . all cocaine used in America originating from the country, according to a . U.S. state report. Icon: Maria was described by a prominent Mexican journalist as 'a heroine of the 21st century' Casualty of war: Dr Gorrostieta is the latest official murdered by cartels in Mexico's bloody battle over drugs . The U.S. Justice Department considers . the cartels as America’s greatest organised crime threat, while . conceding that it is U.S. dollars that fund the crime ravaging Mexico. In 2009 a military assessment . predicted that if the drugs war continued for another 25 years, Mexico’s . government was at serious risk of collapse and the conflict would . spread into America. A year earlier, the U.S. Joint Forces . Command suggested a similar time-scale of collapse in Mexico and warned . American intervention may be necessary due to the implications for . homeland security. The problem of strengthening the . Mexico/U.S. border even prompted President Barack Obama to deploy 1,200 . National Guard troops in 2010. The two major cartels in Mexico are now the Sinaloa Cartel and Los Zetas. The Sinaloa Cartel was formed when several gangs agreed to join forces in 2006 and is now led by Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman. He is Mexico's most wanted drug . trafficker and is believed to be worth $1billion. Forbes magazing even . declared him the 55th most powerful man in the world in 2009. Los Zetas were originally a mercenary outfit of former elite members of the Mexican army by the Gulf Cartel. Consisting of Airmobile Special . Forces Group and Amphibian Group of Special Forces members, they helped . control parts of Mexico for the Gulf Cartel until its leader, Osiel . Cardenas Guillen, was arrested. Los Zetas took the opportunity to . seize power for themselves and are now a 300-strong independent drugs . and arms trafficking gang under the leadership of Heriberto Lazcano. Gorrostieta was born in 1976 and graduated in medicine from a university in the city of Morelia. She was elected mayor of Tiquicheo in 2008 and served until 2011. During that time she defected from the Institutional Revolutionary party to the left-wing Democratic Revolution party. In January 2009 her husband Jose Sanchez Chavez was set upon by an armed group but escaped . In October that year Maria was attacked while she was with her husband as they drove along in El Limone. Jose died that day from gunshot wounds. Maria survived but was taken to a hospital in Morelia, the state capital. On January 23, 2010, she was attacked by men with machine guns in Ciudad Altamirano Guerrero, on her way to an event at the City Hall. She was severely injured after being hit by three bullets, as well as receiving wounds in the crash after the shooting, and had to use a colostomy bag. She said her wounds left her in constant pain. On Saturday November 17 her body was found by farm workers from San Juan Tararameo, Cuitzeo Township, who were heading to work. She was discovered on the property known as El Chupadero.

A shocking video has captured the moment a father-of-four was savagely beaten to death by a group of sheriff's deputies who found him passed out in a Bakersfield, California, street. The explosive footage comes as the Kern County sheriff's department is accused of trying to cover up the alleged murder of David Silva, 33, apparently seizing cell phones of witnesses who filmed the horrifying incident. Family members aren't sure why Silva came to be intoxicated, sleeping in the road opposite Kern Medical Center last Tuesday night, though he had told his mother earlier that evening he was having 'personal issues.'

Are they going to be deleted?\"' The . latest footage was supplied to 23 ABC News on the condition of . anonymity. It is grainy and dark but shows the outline of men using . batons to brutally beat another man laying in the street.

On Monday, CHP spokesman Robert Rodriguez told KBAK/KBFX Eyewitness News that the car that arrived on the scene got dashboard camera video of the incident but he said he was unable to reveal what that video captured. Rodriguez said the footage has been turned over to the sheriff's department.

The victim's brother said Silva was . at their mother's house at around 5 p.m on Wednesday at which time he . told her he was dealing with some 'personal issues.'

Trial: Off-duty police officer Richard Bolling, left, is accused of killing 13-year-old Trenton Booker, right, while driving drunk . Bolling, 42, was driving home from a bar in May 2009 when he ran over Booker, who was cycling with a friend. He was stopped by his police colleagues driving down the wrong side of the road a few blocks away from the scene and found to have an open bottle of beer in his car, according to police reports. The audio recordings made by a microphone in the car and played at Bolling's trial show what was going through his mind after he was stopped. 'Oh Lord, Richard, what is wrong with you man?' he said to himself before expressing concern at the state of his car, whose windshield was cracked and spattered with blood. He then jokingly pretended to worry about cops eating his fast food, saying: 'Don't you eat my White Castles up. Don't you do that - I'm hungry.' But his tone suddenly changed when the officers who had arrested him told him that Booker was dead. 'Oh no! Please don't tell me that man,' he cried. 'Oh my God. No, no, no, no, no!' Booker's parents walked out of court while the recordings of their son's alleged killer were being played. Crash: Bolling allegedly ran over Booker's bike with his squad car in May 2009 . Destruction: Booker's mangled bike after the accident in Chicago . The trial also heard testimony yesterday from Milton Kinnison, the rookie officer who arrested Bolling. 'My opinion is that he was under the influence of alcohol,' said Mr Kinnison - even though at the time he determined that Bolling was sober after he asked him to walk nine steps then pivot and turn. He now says that the suspect walked ten steps, could not turn properly and had to use his arms for balance. Bolling twice refused to take a breathalyser test, acording to Mr Kinnison, and when he did take a test four and a half hours after the accident he was just under the legal driving limit. Prosecutors have hinted that Bolling was given special treatment after his arrest. He was driven to a gas station and allowed to use the bathroom before taking a sobriety test, which Mr Kinnison confirmed yesterday was not normal procedure.

Originally the victim requested 2 million Saudi Riyal - more than half a million U.S. dollars - but it was later reduced to 1 million. His mother has begged people to contribute money to the fund. 'Ten years have passed with hundreds of sleepless nights. My hair has become grey at a young age because of my son’s problem. 'I have been frightened to death whenever I think about my son’s fate and that he will have to be paralyzed,' she said. Saudi . Arabia enforces strict Islamic law and occasionally doles out . punishments based on the ancient legal code of an eye for an eye. Punishment: Ali Al-Khawahir was 14-years-old when he stabbed his friend in the backbone and has been imprisoned for 10 years . In 2010, Abdul-Aziz al-Mutairi, 22, was left paralysed and subsequently lost a foot after a fight more than two years ago. He asked a judge in north-western Tabuk province to impose an equivalent punishment on his attacker, his brother Khaled al-Mutairi told The Associated Press. Such ‘eye for eye’ punishments are rarely carried out in Saudi Arabia, and Saudi reformists are infuriated when such sentences are passed. Seven years ago a Saudi court pardoned an Indian man, Abdul Lateef Noushad, whose eye was to be gouged out. He had blinded another man in a fight over money. The victim eventually pardoned the Indian after the case threatened to cause a diplomatic row. The reprieve came a day before Saudi’s King Abdullah arrived in India on a state visit. But 13 years ago, an Egyptian worker had an eye surgically removed in a Saudi hospital as punishment for disfiguring a compatriot in an acid attack six years earlier. That was said to be the first time in 40 years that a Saudi court had applied literally the principle of 'an eye for an eye', local media said at the time. King Abdullah, the Saudi monarch, insists he has been trying to clamp down on extremist ideology . The Egyptian’s victim had refused a blood money offer of £87,000. In 2008, an Iranian court sentenced a man to be blinded with acid after he did the same to a woman he was stalking. It is not clear if the punishment was carried out. Human rights groups invariably describe such ‘eye for an eye’ punishments as 'abhorrent'. They also say that trials in Saudi Arabia fall far below international standards. Trials usually take place behind closed doors and without adequate legal representation. The Kingdom has one of the highest execution rates in the world after China and Iran. The most common method of execution in Saudi Arabia is beheading. The sentences are usually carried out in public. But King Abdullah, the Saudi monarch, insists he has been trying to clamp down on extremist ideology and improve the country’s forbidding image. Last week Saudi authorities beheaded a murderer and crucified his body after he killed and raped a Pakistani national. The kingdom's interior ministry announced the execution, stating that the man had murdered and sodomised another male. Both actions are punishable by death. 'The Yemeni citizen Mohammed Rashad Khairi Hussain killed a Pakistani, Pashteh Sayed Khan, after he committed sodomy with him,' said a statement carried by state news agency SPA. Hussain was also convicted of robbery and carrying out a series of attacks. The execution, in the southern city of Jizan, was followed by crucifixion, a punishment used by the ultra-conservative country for serious crimes. Saudi Arabia have been criticised in the international community for its harsh punishments, including executions by beheading and firing squad. There have been 28 people beheaded in Saudi Arabia this year. In 2012, they executed 76 people, according to an AFP tally based on official figures, while the US-based Human Rights Watch put the number at 69." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Ali Al-Khawahir was aged 14 when he stabbed his friend in the backbone .\nAli has been imprisoned for 10 years, but must now pay 'blood money'" } ]

The Royals will not be excluded from the ‘mansion tax’ on homes worth more than £2million, Ed Balls revealed today. The Shadow Chancellor said the party’s proposed levy on expensive homes would ‘rightly’ apply to the Queen as much as anyone else. Labour sources insisted the tax would not hit homes which were open to the public – meaning Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle would be exempt. But the Queen’s private Balmoral and Sandringham estates would not escape the levy. Under proposals backed by Labour and the Lib Dems, new council tax bands would be introduced to hit homes worth more than £2million. A Labour source said people will have to declare if they are liable for the tax - like companies which own properties have to now. He said: ‘The Royal family pay council tax like everyone else.' Mr Balls said the tax – which will be used to fund extra doctors and nurses in the NHS – could not be applied to some people but not to others. Speaking to Sky News’ Murnaghan programme this morning, Mr Balls said: 'There has always been a cross-party consensus that we have fair and tough rules for the financing of the Royal Household but members of the Royal Household pay taxes just like everybody else and rightly so. ‘There aren't different rules for anybody. That's the nature of our society.’ He also confirmed that home owners would have to own up to the value of their homes. Mr Balls’ remarks came after Nick Clegg – speaking in Glasgow at the Lib Dem conference – said he would increase taxes if the party was still in government after the next election. Asked if the Lib Dems would raise taxes, he said: ‘Yes, of course. We must raise taxes.’ The Queen's private Sandringham estate in Norfolk will not be exempt from the tax, because it is not open to the public . The Royals face paying tens of thousands of pounds in tax each year on its Aberdeenshire Balmoral estate . Buckingham Palace, the Queen's official residence, would be exempt from the mansion tax because it is open to the public . Mr Clegg said the proposed ‘mansion tax’ was among a series of tax reforms proposed by the Lib Dems that would help fill the deficit black hole. In an interview on BBC1's Andrew Marr Show he accused the Conservatives of announcing with ‘almost undisguised relish’ that they would not ask the wealthiest to pay a ‘single penny towards completing the deficit reduction effort’.

As a captain in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, she is the Army’s most highly ranked transgender soldier and the only one to become an officer. The 27-year-old was born a boy and spent her first few years in the Army as a man, before deciding to undergo a sex-change operation while on a tour of duty at Camp Bastion. British Army officer Hannah Winterbourne (left) was born a boy and spent time in the Army as a man (right). The 27-year-old decided while on duty in Afghanistan that she wanted to undergo a sex-change operation . The officer – who has chosen not to reveal her original name because it’s a ‘label’ from her past - is now one year off her full transformation after beginning hormone therapy, having some surgery and a beard removed . She said sharing a tent in the desert with seven men ‘living on top of each other’ made her realise how little time she spent being herself. ‘In Afghanistan I was living an act, I was acting for everyone around me,’ she said. ‘There was no let-up where I could stop the act. Previously, I relished my own time where I could be honest with myself. ‘In Afghanistan I couldn’t do that so that was a nudge which eventually ended up with me coming out and changing myself and my way of life.’ The officer – who has chosen not to reveal her original name because it’s a ‘label’ from her past – said she faced a battle with herself from an early age. She told The Sun: ‘As early as I can remember there were feelings that were not what you expect. ‘But as a very young person I could not pinpoint the fact that I felt that I was a girl. ‘Society says to you that young boys play with trucks and wear blue and I just never really fell into that category…As I got older those feelings became more solidified, then around the age of puberty you begin to understand a little more about gender. 'That’s when … I thought “this is wrong for me, I’m actually female”.’ She said sharing a tent in the desert with seven men ‘living on top of each other’ made her realise how little time she spent being herself and said she was 'living an act'. She had the operation upon her return to the UK . She said her parents and colleagues have been ‘tremendously supportive’ of her sex-change transformation . She had feared her decision to become a woman might end her Army career, but said it was ‘actually very forward thinking’. She began living openly as a woman after arriving at a new posting in North Yorkshire . Despite this, she was still desperate for an Army career. At 15, she joined a college for Armed Forces careers, before being sponsored by the Army to study electronic engineering at Newcastle University. Sandhurst soon followed. The soldier was later posted to Germany, where she asked doctors to begin her transition process. She was terrified what others might say, and at one point felt she couldn’t carry on living. But after finishing a tour of Afghanistan, she decided her life must change. When she arrived at a new posting in Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire, she was living openly as a woman – and is now a year from the full transformation after beginning hormone therapy, having some surgery and her beard removed. She said: ‘You don’t know how the world is going to react. The fear sits on top of you and buries you. It is hard to claw your way out of it. ‘By going through hormone therapy and some surgery they have allowed me to change my body to an extent where I can feel happy enough to walk down the street as a female. 'People see a female and they interact with me as a female. It has given me self-confidence.’ As a captain in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, Captain Winterbourne - who started her career as a man - is the most highly ranked transgender soldier in the Army and the only one to become an officer . The soldier decided her life had to change after completing a tour of duty at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan . Captain Winterbourne said her parents had been ‘tremendously supportive’ and added: ‘They found it difficult. 'I don’t think any parent wouldn’t find it difficult. They were worried for me, worried I wouldn’t be able to live a normal life. But now they have seen me come through the process they are proud.’ She had feared her decision to become a woman might end her Army career, but said she discovered it has had an employment policy for transgender men and women since 1999. ‘Despite being perceived as a very masculine old school organisation, the army is actually very forward thinking’, she added." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Hannah Winterbourne was born a boy and spent time in Army as a man .\nBritish Army officer decided to become a woman while on a tour of duty .\nSaid she was 'living an act' while on tour at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan .\n27-year-old underwent sex-change operation on return to North Yorkshire .\nFirst transgender officer in Army and now one year off full transformation ." } ]

Kate, 32, who is around 13 weeks pregnant with her second child, glowed with good health at an Autumn Gala Evening dinner and reception at L’Anima Restaurant on behalf of the charity, Action on Addiction. Wearing a rather daring new black cocktail dress featuring slashed nude panels by Temperley London, with her long hair curled and flowing, she walked along a pink carpet as she entered the award-winning restaurant. Scroll down for video . The Duchess of Cambridge attended the Action on Addiction charity gala in east London this evening in a £595 Temperley London dress, which accentuated her growing bump, and a pair of black suede stilettos . During a pre-dinner reception the Duchess met charity supporters and heard a speech by Action on Addiction Chairman John Lloyd, followed by a performance by comedian Rory Bremner. She will also stay for dinner at the award-winning Italian restaurant in the City of London. As soon as Kate arrived at the restaurant she was ushered towards a group of charity supporters including Swedish multi millionaire Hans Rausing. The 51-year-old was convicted in 2012 of preventing the lawful and decent burial of his wife Eva's body by keeping it in the house for two months after she died from a drug overdose. His new wife Julia said last night: 'It's wonderful to be here this evening and wonderful to chat to her (the Duchess).' Kate also spoke to charity supporter Christopher Holder and kept mum about the gender of her new baby. He said afterwards: 'She's a fabulous woman, she does so much for charity. 'She said she's loving being here. 'I think there was talk of her heels and there was talk about the baby and I think someone asked the question \"what is it going to be?\" but she didn't answer.' At 13 weeks on it is thought to be too early for Kate and William to find out the gender of their second child. The Duchess chose a pair of elegant diamond earrings to style her outfit. Her chestnut hair had been loosely curled for the occasion . The Duchess looked in good spirits as she chatted with supporters of the charity this evening in east London . It is her third public appearance this week after reportedly retreating to her parents' home to recover from morning sickness . One guest reportedly asked the Duchess about the sex of her second baby though she politely did not answer . It is not known if they will do so eventually but they chose not to find out George was a boy before he was born in July last year. On Tuesday the Duchess joined her husband, Prince William, as they represented the Queen to greet the President of Singapore, who is currently on a State Visit to the UK. It was the first time that she had been seen in public since news of her pregnancy was officially announced by Kensington Palace at the beginning of September, several weeks earlier than planned. Details were revealed as the Duchess had begun to suffer from the same chronic pregnancy-related sickness, Hyperemesis Gravidarum, that saw her hospitalised when she was expecting her son, Prince George, now 15 months. As a result of the condition, which can leave sufferers vomiting up to 30 times a day, she was forced to cancel a string of public visits, including her first solo foreign tour abroad. Palace official say that while the Duchess hasn’t entirely recovered, she is feeling well enough to take on a limited number of engagements on a ‘case by case basis’.

The charity she is supporting tonight, Action and Addiction, is the only one in the UK to be working across the fields of research, prevention, treatment, professional education and family support. It also runs two residential treatment centres, Clouds House in Wiltshire and Hope House, a women only centre, in Clapham, south London. The charity also offers programs to help the families of substance misusers including the M- PACT programme - Moving Parents And Children Together - which supports young people living with addicted parents. The Duchess has a particular interest in providing early support to children living with parental addiction and launched M-PACT Plus in 2013, which is run in partnership with another of the charities she supports, Place2Be. She has been patron of Action on Addiction since January 2012. All wrapped up: A small, neat bow on her Temperley dress accentuated Kate's new bump.

David Haines has been held prisoner for more than a year in Syria, but it was only earlier this month that the world learned of his captivity when he was seen in a video released by IS. The same video appeared to show the beheading of American journalist Steven Sotloff. Then in the final seconds, a gaunt and hollow-eyed Mr Haines is seen being clutched by the collar of his orange robe by a masked man with a British accent, who warned that further air strikes will lead to the British aid worker’s death. Fears are growing for aid worker David Haines after he appeared on his knees in a jihadi video. His family revealed last night that they have tried to contact the group holding him but have had no reply . The family of David Haines, the British father-of-two being held captive by Islamic State terrorists in Syria, have urged the group to contact them after he was threatened with execution . Mr Haines' second wife, Dragana Prodanovic Haines (pictured), has previously said she cries for her husband 'every day' but refuses to tell their four-year-old daughter of his capture . Last month the same masked man – dubbed ‘Jihadi John’ – was seen in a video showing the apparent killing of US journalist James Foley, 41. Before his death, Foley spoke to the camera saying that the US air raids had signed his ‘death certificate’. Mr Haines’s family have made several attempts to contact IS, which now controls large swathes of northern Syria and Iraq, but so far without any response. In a statement released through the Foreign Office, the family said: ‘We are the family of David Haines. We have sent messages to you to which we have not received a reply. We are asking those holding David to make contact with us.’ Mr Haines, from Perth, has a 17-year-old daughter, from a previous marriage, in Scotland. He also has a four-year-old daughter in Croatia with his current wife, Dragana Prodanovic Haines. Mrs Haines revealed last week that she ‘cries every day’ for her husband, and has not yet told her daughter of his capture. Mr Haines has been a lifelong aid worker in war-torn regions such as Libya and South Sudan. He was working for Acted, a French aid agency, at Atmeh in Idlib province, northern Syria, when he was kidnapped at gunpoint in March 2013. The US has not stopped bombing IS targets in Iraq since the Sotloff video came out, and last week President Obama said he may expand the bombings to target the terror group in Syria. David Cameron reaffirmed the British Government’s policy of refusing to pay ransoms to terrorists. Father-of-two Mr Haines, 44, was taken while working for relief agency Acted in Syria in March 2013 . The IS terrorist known as 'Jihadi John' has already executed two U.S. journalists, James Foley (pictured) and Steven Sotloff, and threatened that Mr Haines will be next . IS did not say when Mr Haines would be executed if their demands were not met, but on jihadi social media accounts it is rumoured the video of his execution will be released by Saturday. Although the Foreign Office refused to say what steps it is taking to have Mr Haines released, it reiterated the Government’s stance that it does not pay ransom. A spokesman said: ‘Our policy is longstanding and clear. We do not make substantive concessions. But we will talk to groups and individuals who we feel might be able to help save lives.’ Federico Motka, an Italian aid worker, was also kidnapped with Mr Haines. Motka, 31, was freed in May after his government apparently paid millions of pounds to IS to secure his release. Last week, The Mail on Sunday revealed that Mr Haines was tortured in captivity with Tasers, and was singled out by his captors for brutal treatment because he was British. He developed severe vomiting and diarrhoea, and his health became so dire that his captors called a doctor. He was held hostage along with Foley and Sotloff and other Westerners by a group of British IS members known as ‘the Beatles’, with one believed to be Jihadi John. Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has said the Foreign Office will be doing 'everything' they can to protect Mr Haines. The relief agency Acted has previously said that the threats made to the Scotsman's life were 'intolerable'. In a statement, it said: 'Acted strongly condemns the violence and threats against David. A man's life should never be threatened on account of his humanitarian commitment.' Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has said the Foreign and Commonwealth Office is doing 'everything it can' in order to protect Mr Haines (file pic) Mr Haines was seized shortly after leaving the Atmeh refugee camp (pictured) in Syria.

Pope Benedict XVI is claimed to want to see the 1,500-year-old book, which many say is the Gospel of Barnabas, that has been hidden by the Turkish state for the last 12 years. The £14million handwritten gold lettered tome, penned in Jesus' native Aramaic language, is said to contain his early teachings and a prediction of the Prophet's coming. Secret Bible: The 1,500-year-old tome was is said to contain Jesus' early teachings and his prediction of the Prophet's coming . Ancient: The leather-bound text, written on animal hide, was discovered by Turkish police during an anti-smuggling operation in 2000 . The leather-bound text, written on animal hide, was discovered by Turkish police during an anti-smuggling operation in 2000. It was closely guarded until 2010, when it was finally handed over to the Ankara Ethnography Museum, and will soon be put back on public display following a minor restoration. A photocopy of a single page from the handwritten ancient manuscript is thought to be worth £1.5million. Turkish culture and tourism minister Ertugrul Gunay said the book could be an authentic version of the Gospel, which was suppressed by the Christian Church for its strong parallels with the Islamic view of Jesus. He also said the Vatican had made an official request to see the scripture - a controversial text which Muslims claim is an addition to the original gospels of Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. In line with Islamic belief, the Gospel treats Jesus as a human being and not a God. Serious interest: The Vatican, under Pope Benedict XVI, is said to want to see the recently re-discovered Bible . Historic: The £14million handwritten gold lettered tome is penned in Jesus' native Aramaic language . It rejects the ideas of the Holy Trinity and the Crucifixion and reveals that Jesus predicted the coming of the Prophet Muhammad. In one version of the gospel, he is said to have told a priest: 'How shall the Messiah be called? Muhammad is his blessed name'. Born in Cyprus as Joseph, Barnabas was an Early Christian later named an apostle. His story appears in the Acts of the Apostles, and Paul mentions him in some of his epistles. The date, place, and circumstances of his death are historically unverifiable. But Christian tradition states that he was martyred at Salamis, Cyprus. He is traditionally identified as the founder of the Cypriot Church, with his feast day on June 11. And in another Jesus denied being the Messiah, claiming that he or she would be Ishmaelite, the term used for an Arab. Despite the interest in the newly re-discovered book, some believe it is a fake and only dates back to the 16th century. The oldest copies of the book date back to that time, and are written in Spanish and Italian. Protestant pastor İhsan Özbek said it was unlikely to be authentic. This is because St Barnabas lived in the first century and was one of the Apostles of Jesus, in contrast to this version which is said to come from the fifth or sixth century. He told the Today Zaman newspaper: 'The copy in Ankara might have been written by one of the followers of St Barnabas. 'Since there is around 500 years in between St Barnabas and the writing of the Bible copy, Muslims may be disappointed to see that this copy does not include things they would like to see. 'It might have no relation with the content of the Gospel of Barnabas.'

Harris County Sheriff's deputies have said that victim Shelly Frey, Tisa Andrews and Yolanda Craig  were stealing when they were confronted by Louis Campbell a 26-year veteran of the force who works as a security guard at the store. According to Campbell the women ran to their car and when he rushed to open the door, they accelerated away - at which point he fired the deadly shot into the car which hit Frey in the neck. Scroll Down for Video . Shelly Frey (left and right) was shot in the neck and died after failing to stop for an off-duty sheriff's deputy in Houston, Texas . Security at the store on the 14000 block of the North Freeway had noticed the three women 'stuffing items inside their purses' and notified Campbell, who was working an extra job that evening. Investigators with Harris County said the three women even attempted to pay for some small items to act as a cover for the shoplifted ones. After chasing Frey and the other two women to their car, Campbell opened the door and commanded Frey to get out. But she refused, officials said . Andrews began to drive away while the deputy was standing between the open door and the driver's seat. 'She threw it in reverse and tried to run over the deputy,' said Harris County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Deputy Thomas Gilliland. 'He confronted the suspects at exit of the store before they left. One female wouldn't stop, struck the deputy with her purse, ran off.' 'I think it knocked him off balance and, in fear of his life and being ran over, he discharged his weapon at that point.' Tiasa Andrews, Yolanda Craig were arrested at 1300 block of Greens Parkway where their friend Shelly Frey had died from her gunshot wounds . The Walmart store at 14000 block of the North Freeway in Houston where the alleged robbery occurred . Inside the car as it was speeding away were two small children - investigators have said that they were not Frey's children. Gilliland said it was clear that the deputy was law enforcement. 'He was clearly marked in uniform as a Harris County deputy. And identified himself as the suspects were leaving the establishment,' said Gilliland to KHOU.Com . Despite the shooting, the women fled but eventually they stopped at The Worthington at the Beltway apartments in the 1300 block of Greens Parkway. Paramedics from the Houston Fire Department arrived to try and save Frey, but she was pronounced dead at the scene. 'Shelly was the perfect mom, perfect friend, perfect daughter,' said her father, Shelton Frey to KHOU. He said that his daughter had moved to Houston after Hurricane Katrina to start a new life, but the amount of work she could do was limited by her two-year-old who has sickle cell anemia. The deceased's mother Sharon Wilkerson was devastated that the deputy fired into a car with two small children inside and killed her daughter . 'Why couldn’t you just shoot the tire, shoot the window?' said her mother Sharon Wilkerson. 'Was it that serious?' She added that even if her daughter had committed a crime, she did not deserve to die and she worries now for her two young grandchildren. 'How do I tell these children she's not coming back,' said Sharon to KHOU. 'To me, it should never (have) happened. I wish the officer didn’t shoot her. I wish he shot her tires just to slow her down. That’s a mother you know. And now they have to figure out what to do with the kids,' said Angel Gaines, a neighbor. Kesha Sapp, a woman who knew Frey, agreed. 'What that look like with him shooting with the darn kids in the car? There were kids in the car with them. Why is he shooting at the car? Come on now, that makes him look bad. That don’t even look right,' said Sapp. Both Andrews and Craig, the two other women allegedly involved, have been charged with shoplifting according to KHOU. Tragically, Frey wasn't even supposed to be at a Walmart that evening. Earlier in the year she pleaded guilty to stealing shirts and a package of meat from another Walmart and as part of her plea arrangement she agreed to never enter Walmart stores again. Deputy Campbell is on three days paid leave as is standard protocol. He's been with the Harris County Sheriff's Office for 26 years. The .

But at the age of 10, Rebecca started acting and dressing as a boy and by 16, she revealed she was transgender and changed her name to Blake. Sharon, from Wigan, accepted her son's decision yet the pair were beset by bullying and abuse that led Blake, now 17, to self harm and even attempt suicide. Born Rebecca (left), Blake Kerwin (right)  felt different as a small child and began living as a boy from age 10 . Blake and his supportive mother Sharon appeared on ITV's This Morning to talk about his journey . Sharon noticed her daughter was different at the age of six, when she became fascinated by her brother's toys and games. She said: 'it started quite young, playing with boy's toys and [being] interested in boys stuff. He used to copy his brother all the time, taking his stuff and following and copying everything he used to do.' As well as emulating his brother, as Rebecca, Blake also flew into uncontrollable rages. These fits became so bad and so frequent Sharon even took him to the doctor to seek advice. 'We thought it was ADHD at first and he was tested and they couldn't find anything. nothing at all was wrong.' Blake explains that he couldn't put his finger on what he was feeling for years. He said: 'I knew when I was very young that something wasn't right. I used to have these tantrums and be exploding all the time. Both Blake and Sharon received abuse over his decision to live as a man with his mother's complete support . 'I came out as bisexual at 12 but I wasn't, I just thought I would be more accepted.' Sharon decided to be entirely accepting of what her then daughter was telling her, but suspected there was something more underneath it. Blake is is using his experience to help others struggling with gender identity issues . 'It was very important that I listened and understood what was making him unhappy. 'I just went along with it. I wanted to see Blake happy instead of so stressed over his gender at the time. 'I had an idea there was something more but I didn't want to question him too much. 'I had a conversation with someone who was gay and they said not to push him, just to wait until Blake told me in his own time.' Sharon's intuition turned out to be right and Blake eventually realised that he was not bisexual, but transgender. At the age of 16, Blake came out to his mother as transgender and formally changed his name by deed poll. While Sharon accepted Blake at every step of his journey, others were not so understanding and both Blake and Sharon suffered at the hands of bullies. Some people accused Sharon of somehow encouraging Blake and the abuse became so bad at one point that he began self-harming and he even attempted suicide. But his transformation into a male body has, Blake says, helped him move on from these dark times and he now feels hopeful about his future. He said: 'I'm actually progressing more because of the transitioning. It's hurrying along so I've got more hope in myself.' While the support he's had from his mother and grandmother has been 'brilliant'. For her part, Sharon says she doesn't miss having a daughter. 'I don't miss it at all. He is still Blake and I am so so proud of him and the way that he has come out. Blake will begin taking hormones soon but will have to wait until he turns 18 before beginning his full physical transformation. He now is using his experience to help others struggling with gender identity issues through a transgender support group.

Captain Philipp Lahm, Arsenal's Per Mertesacker and World Cup record goalscorer Miroslav Klose all went out on the ultimate high into international retirement, taking with them the know-how that comes with 354 caps between them. With injuries adding up too, Joachim Low gave the chance to some of the next generation of German stars. Here's Sportsmail's verdict on how they got on: . Sebastian Rudy . Age: 24 . Position: Midfielder (played at right back against Scotland) Club: Hoffenheim . Minutes played: 90 . Rudy might not initially be considered 'young', but he's pretty new to the German national side and this was just his third cap - his second since the World Cup. Scotland's mainly defensive outlook, particularly down the flanks allowed the Hoffenheim man to push forward into the positions he normally occupies in midfield - and it paid off for Thomas Muller's opener. Drifting in a cross from deep, Rudy found Muller to head past David Marshall and give the home side the lead. And that was typical of his first-half performance, finding pockets of space out on the right and sending balls in to the box with Germany seemingly comfortable with dominating the wide areas. On the charge: Sebastian Rudy took the opportunity to get down the right flank and attacked Scotland . Resolute: Rudy slides in on Scotland's Ikechi Anya as the visitors try to launch a counter attack in Dortmund . His passing was perfect - 30 came in total during that dominant first period - and with a 100% completion rate. He even managed a shot on goal but his drive from 20 yards was well saved by Marshall on the half-hour mark. The second half though was a bit of a different story though - he found himself ripped to shreds by Scotland's suddenly more potent counter-attacking game - and it was Rudy left miles out of position when Ikechi Anya steamed through down the left to equalise. He constantly found himself troubled as the visitors got more into the game and his lack of familiarity with the position perhaps showed as Anya grew into the game. Defensive duties: Rudy is used to being further up the pitch but did well at the back at times . Whoops! Anya hares away from Rudy as he is caught out with his positioning in an unfamiliar role . Erik Durm . Age: 22 . Position: Left back . Club: Borussia Dortmund . Minutes played: 90 . Durm was another who benefited from Scotland's withdrawn positioning down the flanks - constantly pressing Barry Bannan back, restricting his creative skills and giving Germany a platform to attack. He took his opportunities to go forward and was already setting up Muller for a chance just eight minutes into the game with a brilliant right-footed cross. Comfortable: Durm makes sure Charlie Mulgrew can't get a clean shot at goal during the first half . And he was able to mix it up too - with a 20-yard strike troubling Marshall as Scotland held firm. He cynically brought down Steven Naismith as Scotland went in search of a second equaliser and was lucky not to see red - that aside it was a solid performance down the left from the Borussia Dortmund defender. Easy does it: And Durm guides the same man away from the penalty area on another Scotland counter . Seeing them off: Barry Bannan couldn't do anything to get away from Durm on this occasion . Christoph Kramer . Age: 23 . Position: Midfielder . Club: Bayer Leverkusen (on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach) Minutes played: 90 . A solid partner to Toni Kroos in midfield, Kramer proved an able deputy for German skipper Bastian Schweinsteiger and Real Madrid's Sami Khedira. He made his first-ever competitive start in the World Cup final but that ended in injury - on this occasion he was able to play a more active role - sitting deep and sweeping up anything that evaded Kroos as he advanced through the middle. Getting forward: Christoph Kramer played alongside Toni Kroos but still got opportunities going forward . Good touch: Kramer takes control and moves away from Mulgrew as he performs in the German midfield pair . Kramer has been linked with Manchester United this week and his performance, adding steel to the German midfield, might just have impressed Louis van Gaal who is lookign for similar characteristics in the centre of the park. Defensively he wasn't too frequently tested but he managed to see off a few Scottish attacks early on, nipping in to keep the pressure on the visitors in Dortmund. Careful: Kramer wins this duel to keep the pressure on Scotland as they tried to break away . Defensive duties: Kramer wins the ball above Darren Fletcher in the air as he won the midfield battle .

Alli has taken League One by storm since establishing himself as one of the Dons’ key men at a tender age. The highly-rated midfielder made his debut in 2012 in an FA Cup first round match against Cambridge City at the age of 16 and his first goal for the club came in the replay at stadium:mk. VIDEO Scroll down to watch MK Dons prepare for United Cup clash with back heel keepy ups . Talent: 18-year-old midfielder Dele Alli will come up against Manchester United on Tuesday night . Alli was strongly linked with a move to Liverpool in the summer, having been monitored by the Anfield giants throughout the year. Liverpool were hopeful of completing a £3.5million summer swoop for Alli and the Anfield club had opened talks with the League One club over a move for the 18-year-old midfielder. MK Dons manager Karl Robinson raves about him, saying earlier this year: 'He is one of the most gifted 17-year-olds this country has ever seen. 'I've said from the word go, he's as good as it gets and he's the best young player I've ever worked with.’ Although he made his debut in 2012, it was last season where he became an important figure in the Dons’ starting XI, making a total of 37 appearances, scoring seven goals. The Milton Keynes-born star is known for his intelligence and maturity on the ball, a trait seldom seen in someone so young (he was born in 1996, don’t forget). Robinson’s young prodigy also managed to net his first professional hat-trick last season in a 3-1 victory over Notts County. Youth: The MK Dons youngster made his debut at the age of 16 in an FA Cup match against Cambridge City . It is obvious Alli has an eye for goal as in his last season for the under 18s, he finished as the top scorer with 17, leading him to sign a three-year professional contract. He has started this season in a similar fashion, already netting his first goal of the season in the 3-2 loss at Peterborough United. Alli has made nine and two appearances for the England Under 17s and 18s respectively but is yet to get on the scoresheet at international level. Having shown so much promise, if Alli is able to continue his progress it’s hard to see him remaining an MK Dons player for much longer, especially if he impresses against Premier League opponents. Indeed, the side he’s facing on Tuesday night could well be his future destination. On the move? Alli was strongly linked to a move to Liverpool this summer as the club monitored his progress .

Siddiqui, who is divorced from her first husband is now married to Ammar al-Baluchi, one of the 9/11 masterminds, who is currently being held in Guantanamo. He is the nephew of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Burqa-clad Siddiqui was arrested in Ghanzi, Afghanistan in 2008 after a local saw her poring over a map. He became suspicious as most women in that country are illiterate. When she was held she had detailed plans on how to kill by spreading Ebola, making a dirty bomb and even a theoretical chemical weapon that somehow spared children while killing adults. She also had two pounds of highly toxic sodium cyanide hidden in her bag and documents detailing potential New York targets for attack including Wall Street, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty and the subway system. The documents also showed the Plum Island Animal Disease Center on Long Island Sound, New York - which was used for biological weapons testing during the Cold War - as another potential target. During interrogation the day after her arrest she grabbed a rifle that had been left on a table and started shooting at her questioners. She failed to hit them but she was shot in the stomach as they returned fire. Author Deborah Scroggins, who wrote a book about Siddiqui, calls her the 'poster child for jihadists around the world.' 'I doesn't surprise me that ISIS should call for her release, even though she is associated with al-Qaeda, because they want to take over al-Qaeda's mantle,' she told MailOnline. 'What better way to establish your bona fides than to exchange a prisoner for the jihadist's icon?' Scroggins, whose book, Wanted Women: Faith, Lies, and the War on Terror was published in 2012, points out that Siddiqui received an 86-year jail sentence despite never harming anyone, and it has never been fully explained whether her plans were realistic or just in her head. Demands: Obama refused to negotiate with the terrorists over Foley's release - in stark contrast to suspected deserter Bowe Bergdahl who was released to huge controversy in exchange for five Taliban prisoners . Siddiqui was only charged with two counts of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and three counts of assault. She was brought to the U.S. for trial which lasted for 14 days in January and February 2010. 'She was only tried for firing a gun at U.S. personnel overseas and Congress had just passed a law, going back to the attacks on the embassies in Nairobi and Dar-es-Salaam, that said anyone trying to kill U.S. personnel would get special strict sentencing,' said Scroggins. During her trial she said she loved both the United States and Islam. Her lawyers pleaded for leniency due to mental issues, but she said: 'I am not paranoid. I do not agree with that.' 'I do not want any bloodshed. I do not want any misunderstanding. I really want to make peace and end the wars,' she said during her trial. Siddiqui - prisoner number 90279-054 - is currently held in the Federal Medical Center in Carswell, Texas, which specializes in treating inmates with mental health issues. She is not due for release until August 8, 2083. Scroggins added: 'She is definitely closely involved with the highest levels of al-Qaeda, but the fact is she has never been convicted of killing or injuring anyone, but she has become a cause celebre in the jihadist movement.' Her 86-year sentence, imposed by U.S. District Judge Richard Berman, led to violent protests in her home country of Pakistan. Thousands of protestors burned tires in Lahore, and police had to fire teargas to quell riots in her hometown of Karachi. Failed rescue: Obama authorized instead a daring mission to snatch back Foley and his fellow captives on July 4. But after a firefight, special forces realized the hostages were not there . Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani called Siddiqui 'the daughter of the nation' and begged U.S. authorities to release her. While Obama did swap five Taliban prisoners in exchange for suspected deserter Bowe Bergdahl, who was freed on May 31 to huge controversy,Obama authorized a daring rescue mission over the July 4 weekend that failed in the Syrian desert. At least five ISIS militants were killed and one American soldier was wounded as the raid failed because the terrorists had moved Foley and other hostages including Miami journalist Steven Sotloff away from the base in Syria's northern Raqqa province. Scroggins said the question of whether Siddiqui's release would be a real threat is doubtful. 'But exchanging her would have been a PR disaster for the Obama administration.' She pointed out that the prisoners released in exchange for Bergdahl had not been convicted and tried in a U.S. court as Siddiqui was. Her release would certainly have been perceived as a tremendous victory for the jihadist forces,' said Scroggins." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "ISIS sent 'laundry list' of demands for release of James Foley .\nBefore ransom rose to $132m, ISIS wanted release of Afia Siddiqui among other prisoners .\nMother-of-three was jailed after she was caught with plans for 'mass casualty attack' and details of New York landmarks .\nAuthor describes her as a 'poster girl for jihadists' and her release would have been PR disaster for Obama .\nIn her handbag was found details for a dirty bomb, Ebola, and a theoretical chemical weapon that did not kill children, her New York trial was told .\nGovernment refused to enter into negotiation with his captors and launched failed rescue attempt instead - in contrast to the Bowe Bergdahl swap ." } ]

SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Loses his cool: Robert F Kennedy Jr grabbed the microphone from a reporter and pointed at her aggressively after she probed him on his own use of a phone and a car at a climate change march in New York yesterday . Irate: The multi-millionaire environmental lawyer branded Michelle Fields' questions 'inane' The interview in New York yesterday afternoon started with a conversation about the number of flyers produced for the event, which Kennedy Jr claimed was necessary to garner 'people power'. PJ Media reporter Michelle Fields then asked the 60-year-old if he has an iPhone or an Android. Kennedy Jr stuttered: '...I have a cell phone.' 'Are you concerned about the damage that the cell phone and electricity generation causes to the environment?' He exclaimed: 'Are you joking about this!' 'No, I want to know if you're willing to give up your iPhone,' she asks. 'No.' 'Why not? Doesn't it start with people like you?' 'No.' Points: The campaigner repeatedly points in Fields' face while refusing to give up his phone for the cause . Fields laughs as Kennedy Jr accuses the media of 'destroying democracy' and refuses to give up his phone . Forward: He then tells Fields to give up her own car before saying nobody should have to forfeit anything . Reaction: Fields tweeted about Kennedy being 'handsy', Twitter users responded attacking Kennedy's actions . The conversation then fell into confusion. Fields asked: 'So will you lead by example?' Kennedy Jr interrupted: 'No no...I do lead by example.' 'Are you going to give up your cell phone?' she said. 'No,' he responded. 'Are you going to give up your car?' Visibly aggravated, Kennedy Jr pointed his finger in the reporter's face and barked: 'Are you going to give up your car?' She calmly responds: 'I'm not the one who's here talking about the environment'. The multi-millionaire then declared he will not stop using a phone or a car because he does not believe that quality of life should be sacrificed for the environment.

A grazed gunman stalked from apartment to apartment, systematically killing his neighbors at a South Florida apartment complex before a police SWAT team shot him dead early Saturday. Police described how Pedro Vargas methodically executed the managers of his building and a family that lived nearby - before firing randomly into the street and killing a man who was parking his car. Police say he kicked his way into a third-floor apartment, where he shot to death Patricio Simono, 54; his wife Merly Niebles, 51; and their 17-year-old daughter Priscilla Perez. The Miami Herald reports that he hunted down Perez as she hid in the bathtub and shot her dead. Family members said Simono worked at a car wash and Niebles cleaned hotel rooms. Their daughter wanted to be a nurse. Marcela Chavarri, director of the American Christian School, said the Perez was about to enter her senior year. 'She was a lovely girl,' Chavarri said through tears. 'She was always happy and helping her classmates.' Scroll down for video .

Detectives were investigating whether Vargas had any ongoing disputes with the building manager, as some residents believed. Vargas lived in the fourth-floor apartment with his mother. She was not home at the time of the shootings. 'He was a good son,' said Ester Lazcano, who lived on the same floor as Vargas and his mother. 'He'd take her in the morning to run errands' and to doctor appointments. Miriam Valdes, 70, was in a friend's apartment two doors down. She said she heard officers trying to convince Vargas to surrender. She said the gunman first asked for his girlfriend and then his mother but refused to cooperate. Valdes said Vargas was also known as a difficult person who sometimes got into fights and yelled at his mother. 'He was a very abusive person,' she said. 'He didn't have any friends there.' Police got a call around 6:30 p.m. on . Friday that shots had been fired in a complex which houses 95 apartments . in Hialeah, just a few miles north of Miami. Police fill the street at the scene of a shooting which left seven people dead, including the gunman, at an apartment building in Hialeah, Florida . The . ordeal lasted eight hours, with Vargas running through the building, . firing at random and eluding officers for part of it, police said. The . situation started after Vargas set the fourth floor apartment, that he . shared with his mother, on fire with a combustible liquid by setting . ablaze a pile of cash. When property managers 68-year-old Samira and 78-year-old Italo . Pisciotti ran towards the apartment to see what was happening he shot them both. Vargas . then ran back into his burning apartment and fired 10 to 20 shots into . the street from a balcony, killing a third victim Carlos Javier . Gavilanes. The 33-year-old . father, who was at the apartment building across the street, had just . arrived home from work and was standing in the parking lot next to his . car when he was killed. Vargas then proceeded to run through the building, firing at random with a 9 mm pistol and eluding police. 'He kept running from us as he fired at us, and we fired at him,' said police spokesperson Carl Zogby. Police said he forced his way into an apartment and took two people hostage at gunpoint. A crisis team was able to briefly establish communication with Vargas. Sgt. Eddie Rodriguez said negotiators and a SWAT team tried talking with him from the other side of the door of the unit where he held the hostages. Miriam Valdes, 70, who lives on the building’s top floor said she heard about eight officers talking with him as she stayed holed up at the neighboring apartment. She said officers told him to 'let these people out.' 'We're going to help you,' she said they told him. She said the gunman first asked for his girlfriend and then his mother but refused to cooperate.Rodriguez said the talks eventually 'just fell apart.' Officers stormed the building, fatally shooting the gunman in an exchange of gunfire. Victim: At just 17 years old, Priscilla Perez was the youngest victim of the shooting rampage . Victim: Patricio Simono, 64, and his wife and daughter were three of the six victims of today's rampage shooting . Victim: Merly Niebles and her family lived below the gunman who fatally shot her, her husband and the couple's 17-year-old daughter . The building across the street where Carlos Javier Gavilanes was shot is called Casa Royal, or Royal House in English . 'They made the decision to go in there and save and rescue the hostages,' Rodriguez said. Both hostages survived. Neighbors said the shooter lived in the building with his mother.

Eddie Rodriguez. Gunman Pedro Vargas started a fire in the apartment he shared with his mom on the fourth floor before he killed six innocent people . They were identified by their daughter Shamira Pisciotti, who told NBC6 that she heard shots and ran over to her parents' building, where she found her mom dead and her father clinging to life. 'My mom was dead the moment that she was shot and my dad still had a pulse when I got to him,' she said. Shamira Pisciotti said she believed that there had been a complaint about the shooter and that he confronted her parents about it, and that he then shot them. 'They got complaints from some neighbor that a situation was going on they went upstairs to do their duty as property managers,' Pisciotti’s fiancée, who did not want to be identified, told CBS Miami. Other witnesses describe hearing between 10 and 12 shots. Patricio was a handyman at the apartment complex and worked with the building managers. American Christian School principal Sergio Chavarri said Perez was a student at his school and would have gone into 11th grade this year. Perez, who wanted to be a nurse, never missed one day of class in the four years that she attended the school which takes pre-K through high school students, he said. 'She was a very nice person,' Chavarri said. 'We can't believe that such a nice person should be, you know, something like that.' Vargas lived in the building with his mother, police are still investigating his motive for the shooting spree . The shootings took place at this apartment complex in Hialeah, Florida on Friday evening and the early hours of Saturday morning . In Hialeah - a suburb of about 230,000 residents, about three-quarters of whom are Cuban or Cuban-American - the street in the quiet, apartment-building-lined neighborhood was still blocked by tape Saturday afternoon. The building where the standoff occurred is an aging, beige structure with an open terrace in the middle. The apartment where neighbors said the shooting started was charred, the door and ceiling immediately outside burned black. Rodriguez said police are still investigating the motive. ‘Investigators are talking with families of the victims, neighbors, people that were present when all this began,’ he said. ‘That way we can start to piece together this huge puzzle that we're working with.’ The fire was contained to Vargas’ apartment and his mom, who wasn't home at the time, is currently staying with relatives. Zogby called the whole building a crime scene. 'He probably fired dozens of shots during the whole incident,' he said. 'It could have been a much, much more dangerous situation.'

One patient, studied in Ysbyty Gwynedd, a hospital in Bangor, north Wales, is waiting for a lung transplant, a British Thoracic Society conference heard. Emphysema, in which the millions of tiny air sacs in the lungs are gradually damaged, is normally caused by tobacco and usually occurs late in life. It is thought the cannabis-tobacco mixture found in joints is more damaging because they are often smoked without a filter. Cannabis smokers also tend to inhale for longer and much of the cannabis on sale today is much stronger than in the past. Dr Damian Mckeon, a consultant in respiratory medicine at Ysbyty Gwynedd, who studied eight patients who had smoked at least five joints a day, said: ‘We are seeing young people on the wards with the lungs of 80 year olds after less than a decade of smoking cannabis and tobacco.

'Lost generation': The unemployment rate for young adults is the highest since World War Two (file picture) New 2010 census data released on Thursday showed the wrenching impact of a recession that officially ended in mid-2009. ‘We have a monster jobs problem, and young people are the biggest losers,’ said Andrew Sum, an economist and director of the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University. He noted for recent college graduates getting by on waitressing, bartending and odd jobs, they will have to compete with new graduates for entry-level career positions when the job market improves. ‘Their really high levels of underemployment and unemployment will haunt young people for at least another decade,’ Mr Sum said. Harvard University economist Richard Freeman said young people ‘will be scarred and they will be called the “lost generation”. ‘Their careers would not be the same way if we had avoided this economic disaster.’ The latest figures also show a rebound in the foreign-born population to 40 million, or 12.9 per cent, the highest share since 1920. The 1.4 million increase from 2009 was the biggest since the mid-decade housing boom and could fuel debate in this election season about immigration strategy.

Young males who lacked a college degree were most likely to lose jobs due to reduced demand for blue-collar jobs in construction, manufacturing and transportation during the downturn.

Among households receiving food stamps, more than half have children. Births declined 6 per cent among 20-34 year-olds last year even though the number of women in this group increased by more than 1 million, according to an analysis of census data by Kenneth Johnson. Mr Johnson is a sociology professor and senior demographer at the University of New Hampshire. Never before has such a drop in births occurred when the population of young adults increased in at least 15 years. ‘Are people just delaying births, or does this represent a real loss of babies that won't be replaced? During the Great Depression, there was a permanent loss of births - they were never made up,’ he said. Homeownership declined for a fourth consecutive year, to 65.4 per cent, following a peak of 67.3 per cent in 2006. ‘Many young adults are essentially postponing adulthood and all of the family responsibilities and extra costs that go along with it,’ said Mark Mather, of the private Population Reference Bureau. Not leaving: At the state level, New York had the highest share of young men living with their parents at 21 per cent, followed by New Jersey and Hawaii - all states with higher costs of living (file picture) He described a shift toward a new U.S. norm, one that's commonly seen in Europe, in which more people wait . until their 30s to leave the parental nest. ‘Some of these changes started before the recession but now they are accelerating, with effects on families that could be long term,’ Mr Mather said. The District of Columbia plus 14 states . had the largest ratios of college graduates to high-school dropouts - . more than three to one.

Some of these changes started before the recession but now they are accelerating, with effects on families that could be long term' Mark MatherPopulation Reference Bureau . Several of these places, including the District of Columbia and states with larger immigrant populations, had the widest income gaps between rich and poor. The number of Hispanic children in poverty rose by half a million to 6.1 million last year, making up a majority of the increase in total child poverty. Hispanics now comprise 37 per cent of children in poverty, compared with 30 per cent for whites and 27 per cent for blacks. ‘We are really at a crossroads,’ said William H. Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution. ‘These new young immigrants and their children need a pathway to the middle class - good educations, affordable housing and jobs - at the same time federal and state budgets are strapped for funds. ‘While we face tough choices, the quality of our future labour force depends on meeting their needs.’ The 2010 numbers are from the American Community Survey, which queries 3 million households.

What can we expect that we have not seen in some form or other in football’s greatest competition? Here, Sportsmail lists 10 things you will - or might - see at this World Cup for the first time… . Scroll down for video . Best yet? This summer's tournament promises to be the most colourful and intriguing World Cup in history . 1) Signs that the Brazilians have stopped trying . There was a time, not so long ago, that a Brazilian footballer’s name carried with it mystique and meaning. Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Socrates, Zico, Garrincha – the Little Bird. Flair by name and deed. Step forward the class of 2014, step forward Fred and, er, Bernard. There’s a chap named Victor on their bench as well. Truth be told, little Bernard is a real dazzler and is believed to be on the radars of Tottenham and Arsenal. If the name doesn’t get pulses racing, Shakhtar Donetsk’s £30m valuation might. Ear we go: Fred is set to lead Brazil's line when they kick off the tournament against Croatia . 2) Shaving foam on the pitch . It’s . 1974, Brazil have a free-kick 25 yards from Zaire’s goal. The referee’s . whistle blows and from the Zaire wall Mwepu Ilunga comes charging, . kicking away the stationary ball. Forty years later, the gently . simmering issue of encroachment might finally have been dealt with. Referees will use vanishing spray in the World Cup for the first time . this summer, drawing a foamy circle around the ball and a line 10 yards . away to keep that pesky wall at bay. We are informed the spray is . non-toxic, water-based and designed to fade from the pitch after a . minute. Making their mark: Referees will spray foam on the pitch to indicate how far defensive walls should retreat . 3) Big Head the turtle . There’s a turtle sanctuary north of Salvador where Big Head the loggerhead is channelling the cosmos (probably) to make predictions for each game. It’s a bit like that octopus in South Africa, but a turtle. The 25-year-old is predicting the results by choosing one of three fish, with a fish representing each of the teams in a given fixture and a third fish representing a draw. Big Head initially appeared to back Brazil-Croatia to end in a draw, but slowly turned away and crawled purposefully, menacingly to the Brazilian fish, which he devoured. Confident: Big Head the turtle says Brazil are going to win the World Cup . 4) Goal-line technology . Soon there will be nothing to gripe about or dissect and football can be at peace. This World Cup ought to signal the end of goal-line controversies. German company GoalControl has focussed seven high-speed cameras on each goalmouth from the roofs of all 12 stadiums. If a ball crosses the line, the referee's watch will vibrate and the word ‘GOAL’ will appear on his screen within a second. Within five seconds of this happening in an England match, TV pictures will cut away to Frank Lampard’s reaction. No goal: Mistakes such as the one which saw Frank Lampard's goal against Germany in 2010 not awarded should be a thing of the past with goal-line technology introduced . 5) England win a penalty shootout . In a world where turtles predict football results, stranger things have happened. However, the numbers actually indicate England are less likely to win a shootout in the World Cup than elsewhere, with all three of their previous attempts ending in defeat with a conversion rate of only 50 per cent (seven scored, seven missed). If you factor in the European Championships, where England beat Spain in 1996, England have won one of six shootouts, with a 68 per cent conversion rate (21 scored, 10 missed). This time, of course, they have Steve Peters strengthening the minds and training sessions where they have kicked penalties into open nets. Cue second-round pandemonium when England knock out Colombia on penalties and Joe Hart, dandruff free, holds Peters aloft, while players mimic their inner chimps in the background. Despair: Chris Waddle (right) is comforted by Lothar Matthaus after missing a penalty in England's defeat to West Germany in 1990 . 6) An African team reaches the semi-final. Maybe . It’s never happened before, with the quarter-finals previously claiming Cameroon (1990), Senegal (2002) and Ghana in 2010. The draw has not offered any glaring opportunities to do better this time, with only Ivory Coast in Group C and Nigeria in Group F holding realistic chances of progression from the first round. Nigeria might fancy their second-round chances against the winners or runners up of a modest Group E, while Ivory Coast would take on a side from England’s group. Super Eagles: Can Shola Ameobi (left) help inspire Nigeria in Brazil? 7) The world loves Belgium . Vincent Kompany, Thibaut Coutois, Jan Vertonghen, Daniel van Buyten, Eden Hazard etc. Belgium are no longer only the hipster’s choice. They have an easy group but will likely face either Germany or Cristiano Ronaldo in the second round. Red alert: Belgium are the outside bet of many punters . 8) A Wayne Rooney goal . Eight years after his first attempt, and four years after Nike’s ‘Write the Future’ campaign hinted he might end up in a caravan, Rooney is yet to do at a World Cup that thing strikers are meant to do. This time, with pressure and expectation at an all-time low, can he do it? Or is his move into a Lunar Quasar drawing closer? Mountain to climb: Wayne Rooney has never scored a goal at the World Cup finals . 9) The voice of reason . After England’s impressive run to the quarter-finals, the glow fades and radio debate analyses what went wrong. After some discussion on the merits of playing at least three passes in the control zone, it is quickly agreed that passion was the problem. Overpaid players don't want it enough. Passion play: Can Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney succeed where they have failed in previous tournaments? 10) Rio in Rio . Rio Ferdinand has made enough forays into television for his transition into pundit to be nothing too out of the ordinary. However, unlike Rio’s World Cup Wind-Ups, it’s unlikely that he’ll be teaming up with the Policia Ferderal to ‘Merk Nev’. He tweeted on Thursday that he will be kicking off his World Cup by watching Brazil-Croatia at the home of Fabio and Rafael.

Two horrified men watched in their car on Friday as the unsettling scene unfolded near the Red Rock Canyon Conservation area as a Bureau of Land Management ranger shot and killed D’Andre Berghardt Jr., 20. Giving a running commentary to their cellphone footage, the men exclaim, 'Oh my God, they just shot him' as the observe an unarmed Berghardt refuse to yield to officers and attempting to flee the scene - only to be killed as more than eight rounds are emptied into him. Scroll Down for Video: . Put your hands up: The two men who filmed the shocking episode initially stopped and saw D'Andre Berghardt being held at gunpoint on state Route 159 near Calico Basin, Nevada . The video, obtained by the Las Vegas Review Journal is shot from a car parked on the road while the rangers deal with Berghardt. He had been hailing cyclists as he walked along state Route 159 near Calico Basin, more than 20 miles from Las Vegas. Two cyclists reported the man and rangers responded. Refusing to obey officers holding him at gunpoint, the two men began to film as the situation quickly became farcical. Indeed, several minutes into the stand-off, one ranger pepper sprays Berghardt, causing the 20-year-old to stumble and grab his face. However, the rangers do not seem in the video to attempt to cuff him. 'It’s really interesting that they haven’t just kind of grabbed him. I guess they really want him to be compliant before they (arrest him),' says the man filming. The other man replies, 'Yeah, it doesn’t look like he’s being very erratic. They should have just grabbed him.' Uncooperative: D'Andre Berghardt has still not complied with the rangers and one of them kicks out at him - but fails to follow it up with a cuffing . Following this, Berghardt rips off his shirt and turns his back on the officers and then suddenly is kicked in the back of the knee. Berghardt responds by throwing a punch at which point a Nevada Highway Patrol trooper arrives as he dashes behind a truck and out of the camera’s view. The video resumes with two rangers on top of Berghardt and the trooper standing to one side. At no point does it seem they attempt to cuff him. However, unruly Berghardt manages to escape their grasp and makes towards the trooper's patrol vehicle. 'Why don’t they just cuff him and be done with it?' one of the men in the video asks. 'You’d think,' the other replies. 'They keep letting him get up and run away.' Events take a tragic turn as Berghardt opens the door to the trooper's SUV and and climbs inside while the trooper closes the door on him. 'Dude, this guy’s going to end up getting shot,' one says as suddenly one of the rangers opens fire and appears to fire eight or nine shots inside the car. 'Dude, they just shot him. They just killed the dude. Holy (expletive). They just killed him. 'You know what’s ridiculous about this is, they never grabbed him. They could have grabbed him. They kept letting him get up.' Fleeing: D'Andre Berghardt makes to run away and is seen trying to get inside the troopers SUV . Law enforcement in Nevada have not commented on the case - however, the Las Vegas Review Journal reports that authorities claim Berghardt was attempting to grab the trooper's AR-15. Indeed, one of the men in the car does acknowledge the risk the officers were taking allowing the man to be in the SUV. 'They had him on the ground,' the other says. 'I don’t know why they didn’t just jump on him and pin him! 'You know, unless they thought he had something on him, but it didn’t look like it to me. 'It’s redneck justice.' Trooper Loy Hixson, a Highway Patrol spokesman, said Friday the officers 'felt their lives were in danger.' David Reed, 61, said he was in a truck close to the action and spoke to the Las Vegas Review Journal. Shots: More than eight shots can he heard ringing out as a ranger fires into the trooper's SUV after D'Andre Berghardt had managed to get inside . 'They tried and tried,' he said. 'I thought he was on drugs or something. He was that strong; he was throwing them around.' Berghardt is reported to have left his home in California to come to Las Vegas after an argument with his mother. Highway patrol officials have not yet responded to messages. The Clark County coroner said Mr Berghardt died of multiple gunshot wounds. The death was ruled a homicide.

Wearing sun cream is not a reliable way to prevent getting skin . cancer, scientists have warned. A groundbreaking study into the way UV radiation attacks the . skin has revealed that long-lasting damage is not stopped by sunscreen. While an SPF cream can stop sunburn and the short-term . effects of sunbathing, it allows enough rays through to cause potentially fatal . disease in the long term. Anyone who spends more than a short time in the sun should . make sure they are covered up and should not rely on sunscreen alone, experts . warned. Scientists at Manchester University and London’s Institute . of Cancer Research carried out the world’s first molecular study into the way . malignant melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, is caused. Their paper, published in the journal . Nature, revealed that even highest grade SPF 50 suncream allows sufficient UV . radiation through to damage the DNA in the skin’s pigment cells. Dr Julie Sharp, of Cancer Research UK, which funded the . study, said: ‘People tend to think they’re invincible once they’ve put it on . and end up spending longer out in the sun, increasing their overall exposure to . UV rays. ‘This research adds important evidence showing that . sunscreen has a role, but that you shouldn’t just rely on this to protect your . skin.’ Malignant melanoma is the fifth most common cancer in the UK, . with more than 13,000 people diagnosed with the disease every year. The scientists found that sunscreen could not stop solar . radiation causing a mutation in the skin’s ‘guardian gene’ which produces . proteins that protect against UV. The researchers insisted people should continue to wear sunscreen, because while it does not provide complete protection, it can slow the cancer-causing effect of UV. But they said nobody should rely on sunscreen alone. Instead, people should also cover up when spending time in the sun (stock image) With the gene damaged, the skin is vulnerable to further . damage from the sun and more likely to develop a tumour. Study author Richard Marais, of Manchester University, said: . ‘UV light targets the very genes protecting us from its own damaging effects, . showing how dangerous this cancer-causing agent is. ‘Very importantly, this study provides proof that sunscreen . does not offer complete protection from the damaging effects of UV light.’ The research team examined the molecular effects of UV light . on the skin of 110 mice which had been genetically altered to be susceptible to . melanoma. They found that the use of SPF 50 sun cream would delay the . formation of tumours, but could not stop it altogether. Over a 15-month period they exposed the mice to weekly dose . of UV radiation similar to that a person would be receive to if they spent an . hour a week in a garden in southern England. The mice which did not have any protection each developed . tumours after an average of 5.3 months, and within seven months every single . one had the cancer. Another group of mice had their fur shaved and SPF50 . sunscreen applied. These mice developed tumours after an average of 7.5 months, . and each had grown melanoma within 15 months. Professor Marais insisted people should continue to wear . sunscreen, because while it does not provide complete protection, it can slow . the cancer-causing effect of UV. But he said nobody should rely on sunscreen alone to protect . them from skin cancer. He said: ‘This work highlights the importance of combining . sunscreen with other strategies to protect our skin, including wearing hats and . loose fitting clothing, and seeking shade when the sun is at its strongest.’ Professor Marais said the crucial finding is the impact of a . ‘guardian gene’ called P53, which normally helps protect from the effects of . damage caused by UV light. He said: ‘We found that sunscreen does work by limiting the . immediate effect of UV on the skin - it stops sunburn. ‘But sunscreen does not protect the skin completely - enough . UV light sneaks past to cause long term damage to the DNA. ‘The important thing is the impact on the P53 gene, which is . the guardian of the genome. Usually when you go out into the sun P53 activates the . release of protein which protects against UV. ‘But solar radiation knocks out the guardian, it targets the . very thing that defends the skin, and sunscreen cannot protect against that.’ The cosmetics industry insisted it had never . claimed sun cream could stop cancer. Dr Chris Flower, director general of the Cosmetic, Toiletry . and Perfumery Association, said: ‘As cosmetic producers we never talk about . cancer in relation to the product - we cannot talk about protecting against or . stopping disease. ‘We never recommend that sun care products should be used to . stay out in the sun longer, only as part of ‘sun safe’ behaviour, which . includes staying out of the sun during the hottest part of the day, and . covering up. ‘We can’t use the term ‘sunblock’ or anything that suggest . there is 100 per cent protection. We can’t say total protection, the strongest . term we can use is ‘very high’ protection. ‘The first line of defence is to avoid sun, the second is to . cover up with a sunhat, T-shirt and trousers, and the third line of defence is . to use a sunscreen.’" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Scientists from Manchester and London carried out the world’s first molecular study into the way .\nmalignant melanoma is caused .\nMalignant melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer .\nFindings revealed SPF 50 sunscreen allows UV .\nradiation through to damage the DNA in the skin’s pigment cells .\nThey advise anyone who spends time in the sun to cover up .\nSunscreen alone should not be used as protection, the experts warned ." } ]

Authorities say that the father and son scuffle started when Caleb Surface broke into his father Jeff Surface's house at the 2000 block of Spyglass Hill Court a little before 8pm. The pair began fighting physically and that's when Jeff called the police. WCPO reported that When police arrived, Caleb Surface ran out the back door and an officer met up with Caleb close by at the  2000 block of Saint Andrews Court. Caleb was shot by a police officer on Saturday just a week after he turned 23 years old . Caleb broke into his father's house at the 2000 block of Spyglass Hill Court just a little before 8 p.m. According to police, that's where an officer, whose name has not been released, fired two shots. Caleb died at the scene--exactly one week after his 23rd birthday on January 11. Surfaces body wasn't carried away from the scene by the Butler County Coroner's Office until 4:30 a.m., nine hours after the father called 911. Fairfied officer Doug Day said that Caleb Surface did not fire a shot at officer and is unsure as to what pushed his fellow officer to shoot the young man. It's unclear as to whether Caleb was armed or not but officer Day said that pointing a gun at an officer is enough to warrant shooting back. 'You display a weapon, you refuse our commands, you tell us you have a weapon, you make a furtive movement that makes us believe you're pulling a weapon at us, we will likely fire shots,' he said. WCPO reports that both Surface's father and his cousin Ed Kathman both believe that their son was unarmed the evening of the shooting. This a photo taken just two days before Caleb was shot dead by a police officer near his father's home . 'To the best of his father's knowledge, his son was unarmed, and that's what he told police,' Kathman said. He also said Surface 'didn’t take any weapons out of the house.' Surface's family say that he was 'a good kid' but that he struggled with drug addiction and was emotionally troubled. Status updates on Surface's facebook page indicate that he was struggling emotionally with feeling of helplessness and boredom. 'Some one save me from me please I just wanna blow my heqdnoff so bored!' wrote Caleb on January 16. He also wrote, 'What glimmers is sure to fade.' On the actual day of the shooting on January 18. Caleb wrote a prophetic poost reading, 'last words?' Chilling Prophecy: Caleb wrote 'Last Words?' on the same day that he died . Calebs friends and family say he was 'kind hearted' but that he struggled with drug addiction and depression . Even though Caleb wrote this on his facebook page he was believed to be unarmed during the time of the shooting . He even wrote, 'beer and a gun hmmm what to do.'

Astronomers are only now beginning to understand the scale of the bombardment - analysing the impacts from tiny 'spherules' preserved in rocks today. Some of the asteroids were bigger than the 9-mile rock that wiped out the dinosaurs - but the 700-million-year barrage may have delivered chemicals crucial to the beginnings of life on our planet. Astronomers are only now beginning to understand the scale of the bombardment - analysing the regularity and size of the impacts from tiny 'spherules' preserved in rocks today . Researchers are learning details about asteroid impacts going back to the Earth's early history by using a new method for extracting precise information from tiny 'spherules' embedded in layers of rock . ‘What we have done is provide the . foundation for understanding how to interpret the layers in terms of the . size and velocity of the asteroid that made them,’ said Jay Melosh, . professor of earth and atmospheric sciences, physics and aerospace . engineering at Purdue University. 'This is the first real solid evidence that this asteroid bombardment . actually happened,’ Melosh said. ‘Some of the asteroids that we infer . were about 25 miles in diameter, much larger than the one that . killed off the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago. But Melosh and his team believe that the bombardment may have delivered chemicals crucial to the evolution of life on our planet. The study also seems to show that the bombardment lasted far longer than previous estimates, which suggested the 'Late Heavy Bombardment' lasted roughly half as long as Melosh's team estimates. 'But when we looked at the number of impactors as a function . of size, we got a curve that showed a lot more small objects than large . ones, a pattern that matches exactly the distribution of sizes in the . asteroid belt. For the first time we have a direct connection between . the crater size distribution on the ancient Earth and the sizes of . asteroids out in space.’ Melosh and his team use 'spherules' - tiny markings in rocks - to work out the scale of the asteroid bombardment. The spherules were created when asteroids crashed into the Earth, vaporizing rock that expanded into space as a giant vapor plume. Small droplets of molten and vaporized rock in the plume condensed and solidified, falling back to Earth as a thin layer. The round or oblong particles were preserved in layers of rock, and now researchers have analyzed them to record precise information about asteroids impacting Earth from 3.5 billion to 35 million years ago. The period of heavy asteroid bombardment - from 4.2 to 3.5 billion years ago - is thought to have been influenced by changes in the early solar system that altered the trajectory of objects in an asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter, sending them on a collision course with Earth. Meteor Crater in Northern Arizona: Some of the asteroids were bigger than the 9-mile rock that wiped out the dinosaurs - but the barrage continued for up to 700 million years, as an entire asteroid belt 'emptied' itself at our planetBecause craters are difficult to study directly, impact history must be inferred either by observations of asteroids that periodically pass near the Earth or by studying craters on the moon. Now, the new technique using spherules offers a far more accurate alternative to chronicle asteroid impacts on Earth, Melosh said. ‘We can look at these spherules, see how thick the layer is, how big the spherules are, and we can infer the size and velocity of the asteroid,’ Melosh said. ‘We can go back to the earliest era in the history of the Earth and infer the population of asteroids impacting the planet.’ For asteroids larger than about 10 kilometers in diameter, the spherules are deposited in a global layer. ‘Some of these impacts were several times larger than the Chicxulub impact that killed off the dinosaurs 65 million years ago,’ Johnson said. ‘The impacts may have played a large role in the history of life. The large number of impacts may have helped simple life by introducing organics and other important materials at a time when life on Earth was just taking hold.’ A 40-kilometer asteroid would have wiped out everything on the Earth's surface, whereas the one that struck 65 million years ago killed only land animals weighing more than around 20 kilograms. ‘Impact craters are the most obvious indication of asteroid impacts, but craters on Earth are quickly obscured or destroyed by surface weathering and tectonic processes,’ Johnson said. ‘However, the spherule layers, if preserved in the geologic record, provide information about an impact even when the source crater cannot be found.’ The Purdue researchers studied the spherules using computer models that harness mathematical equations developed originally to calculate the condensation of vapor. ‘There have been some new wrinkles in vapor condensation modeling that motivated us to do this work, and we were the first to apply it to asteroid impacts,’ Melosh said. The spherules are about a millimeter in diameter. The researchers also are studying a different type of artifact similar to spherules but found only near the original impact site. Whereas the globally distributed spherules come from the condensing vaporized rock, these ‘melt droplets’ are from rock that's been melted and not completely vaporized. ‘Before this work, it was not possible to distinguish between these two types of formations,’ Melosh said. ‘Nobody had established criteria for discriminating between them, and we've done that now.’ One of the authors of the Southwest Research Institute paper, David Minton, is now an assistant professor of earth and atmospheric sciences at Purdue. Findings from the research may enable Melosh's team to enhance an asteroid impact effects calculator he developed to estimate what would happen if asteroids of various sizes were to hit the Earth. The calculator, ‘Impact: Earth!’ allows anyone to calculate potential comet or asteroid damage based on the object's mass." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Findings from analysis of tiny 'spherules' in present-day rocks .\nRocks from asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter four billion years ago .\nBombardment lasted up to two times as long as previously thought ." } ]

Provide a succinct and relevant summary of the provided text." }, { "from": "human", "value": "For any Premier League club looking to rebuild on the cheap this summer, there are a few bargains to be had. Not every close-season addition must come at club-record expense or be prised from a rival. The advent of the Bosman ruling has seen the market flooded with free agents in recent years, the temptation to bring in a new face at no cost proving an attractive proposition for would-be suitors. This summer is no different. Here, Sportsmail runs you through our free-transfer XI (formation: 4-3-3). Free trade: Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole could both be up for grabs this summer . Goalkeeper: Brad Friedel (Spurs) He’s getting on – he’ll turn 43 on Sunday – but there are a few saves left in the American’s glovebag yet. Until the arrival of Hugo Lloris at White Hart Lane in 2012, he had played every minute of the previous eight Premier League seasons. He only made six starts in all competitions this time around but would still make an able deputy for a top-flight club in need of an experienced head and reliable pair of hands. Right back: Bacary Sagna (Arsenal) Named in France’s provisional World Cup squad, Sagna will be one of the most sought-after frees this summer. Manchester City, Liverpool and Chelsea are all circling and the absence of a transfer fee should see his £100,000-per-week wage demands satisfied. Something for nothing: North London rivals Brad Friedel and Bacary Sagna are out of contract this summer . Centre back: Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United) Unceremoniously dumped after 12 years at Old Trafford, he will have no shortage of admirers over the coming months. Former United defender Steve Bruce, now in charge of Hull, has already hinted that Ferdinand’s number is on speed-dial and the 35-year-old will want a starting role having been a spectator for much of United’s calamitous campaign. Centre back: Joleon Lescott (Manchester City) Just five years ago Lescott was a £22m England player on his way to the Etihad as City’s rapid rebuild gathered pace. Two Premier League winner's medals later and he is heading for the exit door having made eight appearances this season. Lescott is still just 31 and, given he satisfies the homegrown quota, could well attract interest from a top-six club. United: Manchester defensive pair Rio Ferdinand and Joleon Lescott have been released . Left back: Ashley Cole (Chelsea) Snubbed by England, Cole will not feel so unwanted when the scramble for his signature begins. He is perhaps the prize pick of all the players up for grabs this summer and there is an argument to say he remains one of the best left-backs in the Premier League. Left midfield: Patrice Evra (Manchester United) After eight seasons at Old Trafford - and five Premier League titles - Evra will be moving on this summer. He's still good enough to warrant a place in the France squad and, given his 33 league outings for United this season, there are still plenty of miles in the tank. It wouldn't be a surprise to see him back in the Champions League next year. Available: Left backs Ashley Cole and Patrice Evra (who is in our midfield) will have no shortage of suitors . Central midfield: Frank Lampard (Chelsea) The 35-year-old is the only member of England’s World Cup squad who could leave on a free during the close-season and, were he to serve a reminder of his talent at the finals, it could well trigger a race for his services. He appeared 26 times for Chelsea in the league this season – scoring six times – and would remain a dependable presence at the heart of any midfield. Right midfield: Joe Cole (West Ham) His return to West Ham has not, it is fair to reflect, been a success. Nonetheless, there will no doubt be one top-flight club willing to take a punt on the former England forward. In it together: Ex-West Ham, Chelsea and England stars Frank Lampard and Joe Cole face uncertain futures . Striker: Shola Ameobi (Newcastle) He may have scored just three goals this season but Ameobi will be an attractive proposition for promoted clubs in the market for an experienced target man. He has made north of 23 league appearances in each of the last four campaigns and, should he shine at the World Cup with Nigeria, will not be short of interested parties. Striker: Nicklas Bendtner (Arsenal) After nine years in North London – and not a single trophy - the Dane will finally bid a not-so-fond farewell to the Gunners. He will no doubt talk of a transfer tussle between Real Madrid and Barcelona, but the likelihood is that a mid-table Premier League club could be the setting for his rehabilitation. Forward thinking: Shola Ameobi and Nicklas Bendtner could attract interest from Premier League newcomers . Striker: Samuel Eto’o (Chelsea) Nine goals from 16 league starts is a fair return but, it appears, not fair enough for Jose Mourinho. The Cameroon striker will be released this summer and the lure of his name – not to mention his goal threat – should be enough to persuade one top-flight admirer to meet his wage demands. On target: Samuel Eto'o scored nine league goals for Chelsea this season ." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Out-of-contract stars set to spark transfer tussle this summer .\nRio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra and Bacary Sagna also among big names available on a free .\nJoe Cole and Joleon Lescott will cost nothing .\nChampions League winners and England stars on the list ." } ]

Two-year-old Mina Khan was born with a hole in the wall between two chambers of her heart which left her struggling to survive. Exhausted from pumping blood around the hole, which was initially feared too big to treat, she was left breathless and couldn't eat - even her hair wouldn't grow. Thriving at last: Two-year-old Mina Khan was born with a hole in the wall between two chambers of her heart but surgeons were able to fix it thanks to a 3D facsimile of the organ printed in plastic . But after doctors at St Thomas' Hospital in London created a precise copy of her tiny heart, including its defect, they were able to perfect the complicated procedure needed to cure Mina. It meant when surgeons finally operated on the tiny girl they knew exactly what they were looking for and what to do when they found out. 'Mina is like a normal little girl now,' her mother Natasha Buckley, from Bury, Greater Manchester, told Sunday Times science editor Jonathan Leake. 'She is eating, has stopped being sick and is growing at last.' Mina was born with a heart so deformed that doctors said it could not be repaired. With a hole between her ventricles, the two pumps that circulate blood to the heart and the lungs, she was left constantly tired, sickly and unable to put on weight, her mother told the Sunday Times. Her only hope was for surgeons to try to patch the hole, but toddlers' hearts are so small that even the most experienced paedatric heart specialists find them difficult to handle, making any operation risky. But thanks to the 3D model of her heart, based on the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computerised tomography scans, surgeons were able to design a bespoke patch and understand how it needed to be stitched into place. Pioneering technique: Dr Gerald Greil, who has pioneered the use of the 3D-printing technique at St Thomas', said the model he and colleagues created helped them tailor the Gore-Tex patch stitched into Mina's heart . Professor David Anderson led the operating team. He told the Sunday Times Mina had a 'very complex' hole in her heart - the kind of case that can pose a 'huge intellectual challenge'. 'The 3D printing meant we could create a model of her heart and then see the inside of it with a replica of the hole as it looked when the heart was pumping,' he said. 'We could go into the operation with a much better idea of what we would find.' Dr Gerald Greil, who has pioneered the use of the 3D-printing technique at St Thomas', said the model he and colleagues created also helped them tailor the Gore-Tex patch stitched into Mina's heart. The use of 3D-printed 'practice organs' made to measure from MRI scans of patients promises to become an important surgical tool in coming years. The process has featured in America and surgeons at a New York hospital created a 3D heart that saved the life of a two-week-old baby. And in Southampton an entrepreneur with a 3D printing services company persuaded doctors to let him help them by making a model of his own kidney when he needed an operation to remove a kidney stone. Medics say having the plastic kidney slashed an hour from his two-hour kidney stone removal operation earlier this month and the hospital is now trialling the process with 21 other patients. Surgeon Bhaskar Somani, of Southampton General Hospital, said: It makes our job easier going in. 'The 3D model helps because it gives us a rough estimation of where to come from and to be more precise.'" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Mina Khan was born with a hole between two chambers of her heart .\nSurgeons made a precise 3D copy of the organ to work out how to fix it .\nIt helped them understand what to do when they carried out the surgery ." } ]

Six of the cars tested, most of which were 2013 models, were rated ‘poor’ or ‘marginal.’ General Motors Co's Chevrolet Sonic and Cruze each received marginal scores, while Kia Motors Corp's Soul and 2014 Forte were rated ‘poor’ in the results released Thursday by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Nissan Motor Co's Sentra also got a poor rating, while Volkswagen AG's Beetle was ranked ‘marginal.’ Scroll down for crash test video . Smashed: Six of the 12 small cars tested by Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, most of which were 2013 models, were rated 'poor' or 'marginal,' among them Kia Soul (pictured) Intense: As part of the test, small vehicles were crashed at 40 mph into a 5-foot-high barrier on the driver's side . Worst-case scenario: In cars that did not score well, safety cages collapsed, driver airbags moved sideways and the crash dummy's head hit the instrument panel . Two redesigned Honda Civic models, the 2-door and the 4-door, were the only small cars to get the top rating in stringent front-end crash tests performed by the insurance industry group. In the worst cases with the small cars that did not score well, safety cages collapsed, driver airbags moved sideways and the crash dummy's head hit the instrument panel, and side curtain airbags did not deploy or provide enough protection, IIHS chief research officer David Zuby said. Of the 12 models tested, the Kia Forte fared the worst, the institute said in a press release. Its seat belt allowed too much slack, and the side curtain airbag deployed but didn’t provide enough protection. The crash dummy’s head hit the windshield pillar and instrument panel. In the test of the VW Beetle, the steering column moved nearly 5 inches to the right as the test dummy’s upper body moved forward and to the left. ‘The rotation meant that the dummy’s head barely contacted the front airbag,’ the institute reported. ‘At the same time, the safety belt spooled out too much, allowing the dummy to move forward 13 inches and hit its head on the dashboard. The side airbag didn’t deploy.’ By comparison, the Civics sustained only minimal intrusion into the occupant compartment, providing ‘survival space for the dummy,’ which remained well-protected from impact. The IIHS increased the rigor of its tests last year to include crashes that involve only a front corner of a vehicle. The insurance group said nearly a fourth of U.S. front-of-vehicle crashes that result in serious injury or death involve only a single corner that strikes another vehicle or an object like a tree or utility pole. The IIHS continues to score vehicles on side, rear, rollover and front-end crashes that impact more than just a corner. Failing grade: Nissan Sentra received a 'poor' rating based on its performance in the crash test . Biggest loser: Of the 12 models tested, Kia Forte fared the worst because its seat belt allowed too much slack, and the side curtain airbag deployed but didn't provide enough protection . ‘This is a challenging new crash test and it's not surprising that some vehicles are earning marginal and poor ratings,’ IIHS spokesman Russ Radar said of the small overlap front crash test. ‘This crash scenario doesn't lend itself to a Band-Aid fix so for most manufacturers the countermeasure will have to be built in when there's a full redesign,’ he added. Vehicle manufacturers in the U.S. market often design and engineer their models to score well on IIHS safety tests and use the results in their marketing. ‘It matters because in today's world cars are so competitive that all you need is a small flaw and your competition can exploit it,’ Kelley Blue Book senior analyst Karl Brauer said. Good/acceptable ratings:Honda Civic 4-doorHonda Civic 2-doorDodge DartFord FocusHyundai ElantraScion tC (2014) Marginal/poor ratings:Chevrolet SonicVolkswagen BeetleChevrolet CruzeNissan SentraKia SoulKia Forte (2014) Most of the 12 small cars tested were already in production before the IIHS increased the rigor of its front crash test last year. However, Radar said IIHS alerted the companies to the work the group was doing on small overlap research in 2009. The specifications of the test were not finalized until the last year, which is late in a car's development process, Brauer said. All automakers will eventually redesign their cars to meet the standards to pass the new crash test, he said. In the tests, IIHS crashes a vehicle at 40 mph into a 5-foot-high barrier on the driver's side that overlaps one-quarter of the vehicle's width. Kia pointed out that the IIHS small overlap crash test goes well beyond federal requirements and the group has recognized numerous Kia vehicles as top safety picks. The South Korean automaker said it would evaluate the results carefully, but the company was proud of its safety record. GM said customer safety remains its highest priority and it is committed to its cars performing well in all types of crashes. ‘We are aggressively working to incorporate these into our models, including our small cars like the Chevrolet Sonic and Cruze, where technically feasible,’ GM spokeswoman Sharon Basel said in an email. Nissan and VW said they were proud of their cars' safety records in federal crash tests and other IIHS crash tests, but they would review the small overlap test results and incorporate what is learned into future designs. Top of the list: Two redesigned Honda Civic models, the 2-door and the 4-door, were the only small cars to get the top rating . Passing grade: 2013 Dodge Dart received an acceptable rating in the test . Aced it: Both the 2-door and 4-door models of Honda Civic excelled in the IIHS test . The small car segment was the fourth group of cars rated using this new test, and most of the groups have fared equally badly. Last summer, seven of 11 luxury sedans evaluated rated ‘marginal’ or ‘poor,’ and 12 of 15 small SUVs tested also failed to score well in results released in May. Family sedans scored the best, with only five of 18 scoring ‘marginal’ or ‘poor’ in results released last December. As a group, the small cars fared worse than the mid-sized family sedans, but better than the small SUVs, IIHS said. Results on the new crash test for mini-cars will be released later this year. The other six small cars tested included two- and four-door versions of Honda Motor Co Ltd's Civic, which both received ‘good’ ratings. The Civic was tested earlier this year and the results were released in March. Receiving ‘acceptable’ ratings were Chrysler's Dodge Dart, Ford Motor Co's Focus, Hyundai Motor Co's Elantra and Toyota Motor Corp's 2014 Scion tC. Upping the ante: The IIHS increased the rigor of its tests last year to include crashes that involve only a front corner of a vehicle . Dangerous: In the models that did not do well on the test, side curtain airbags did not deploy or provide enough protection . The Civic (pictured) was tested earlier this year and the results were released in March . All the cars scoring well received ‘Top Safety Pick +’ ratings by the insurance trade group. Vehicles earning the institute's award have received ‘good’ ratings in the four traditional tests plus ’good’ or ‘acceptable’ ratings in the small overlap test. IIHS said it did not test the Toyota Corolla because the automaker plans to release a redesigned 2014 model this month. The market for small cars is one of fastest-growing in the U.S. Automakers have made the cars quieter and more refined as people who want good gas mileage turn to compacts and subcompacts. So far this year, Americans have bought more than 1.8million new small cars, up 12 per cent over a year ago, according to Autodata Corp. ‘Manufacturers need to focus on the whole package,\" David Zuby, the Institute's chief research officer, said in a statement. ‘That means a strong occupant compartment that resists the kinds of intrusion we see in a frontal crash like this, safety belts that prevent a driver from pitching too far forward and side curtain air bags to cushion a head at risk of hitting the dashboard or window frame.’" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crashed small vehicles at 40 mph into a 5-foot-high barrier on the driver's side .\nGroup rated cars 'good,' 'acceptable,' 'marginal' or 'poor'\nTwo Honda Civic models were only small cars to get top rating ." } ]

The bizarre legal situation arose after Barbara Bagley, as representative of her dead husband's estate, filed papers suing herself as the driver, in order to claim damages against the insurance company. The December 27, 2011, accident occurred on Interstate 80 near Battle Mountain, about 225 miles east of Reno. It was reported at the time she suffered a concussion, broken ribs, a shattered wrist and two punctured lungs, while her husband Brad Vom Baur was initially taken to hospital in critical condition before succumbing to his injuries. Barbara Bagley, seen here two months after her devastating crash in 2012, was badly injured. Her dog Dooley spent 53 days surviving in the wilderness, living off roadkill before he was found . According to court documents, Bagley as the estate representative seeks unspecified amount of damages for medical expenses, loss of financial support and the loss of her husband's love and companionship, The Salt Lake Tribune reported. The claim was initially denied by a district judge in January 2014, only for it to be overruled on appeal. Lawyers representing her in her capacity as estate representative said she was suing herself because legally, she had to act to benefit the estate. But those representing her in her own capacity as the driver said: 'If this suit is allowed to continue, a jury would be asked to determine whether Barbara Bagley's fault caused Barbara Bagley's own harm,' the paper reported. Bagley's husband Brad Vom Baur (left) died in the crash. Bagley (right) is suing herself in an attempt to win compensation from her insurance company . 'The jury would be asked to determine how much money will fairly compensate Barbara Bagley for the harm she caused herself. The jury will be highly confused - it cannot order a person to compensate herself.' The accident itself made headlines in 2012 because the couple's Shetland sheepdog Dooley - in the car at the time of the crash - escaped unscathed, but spent 53 days surviving on roadkill and water sources before being found. At the time, she said: 'I would think about Dooley constantly,' she said. 'There were TV commercials with dogs that made me think about him and cry. He's just the sweetest dog.' The search for Dooley was cancelled before it began after the January 6 discovery of what appeared to be the dog's remains along the interstate. The same day, her husband died. 'It was a horrible day for me,' Ms Bagley recalled. 'But something inside me told me Dooley was still alive out there. I wasn't 100 per cent sure, but I didn't grieve for Dooley like I did for my husband and our other dog.' However, after several searched, a friend finally spotted Dooley and managed to coax him into his Jeep. Dog and owner were reunited after 53 days." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Barbara Bagley is suing herself as the driver of crash that killed husband .\nShe is claiming damages as the representative of her husband's estate .\nCourt papers show her lawsuit claims her negligence caused his death .\nThe claim was initially dismissed only for it to be overruled on appeal ." } ]

Provide a succinct and relevant summary of the provided text." }, { "from": "human", "value": "This week marks the 70th anniversary since the first U.S. air force officer was killed in Europe after America entered World War Two. Just a scattering of plaques are all that remain of the headquarters of the U.S. Army Air Force in Bushy Park, west London, built in 1942. There is no memorial to Lieutenant Colonel Townsend Griffiss, who became the first of 30,000 U.S. air force personnel to die in the European theatre. Footnote: Lieutenant Colonel Townsend Griffiss was killed on February 15, 1942, after his B-24 Liberator was shot down over the English Channel . Historic: A plaque at the site of Camp Griffiss, named after Lt Col Griffiss, in Bushy Park, west London . The 41-year-old was killed on February 15, 1942, after he was shot down by friendly fighters in a B-24 Liberator which failed to identify itself as it flew over the English Channel, an article in the BBC's online magazine has revealed. A high-flying officer, Lt Col Griffiss was flying back to Britain from Cairo, Egypt, but despite getting Air Ministry approval for the flight after an operation initially in Moscow, Russia, there were conflicting responses from RAF Transport Command and the British Overseas Airways Company which owned the unarmed B-24. As the aircraft passed over St Malo, northern France, it appeared on British radar screens and two Spitfires were sent to intercept it. Investigations into what happened revealed one pilot saw a bright flash from one of the B-24's turrets and he reported that the aircraft began to dive into cloud. Tributes: The USAF memorial in Bushy Park. Now a royal park, it was the location of the U.S. Air Force headquarters in Britain in 1942 . War: The former blocks of Camp Griffiss were demolished in the 1960s . Comrades: The dedication stone at the memorial. Lt Col Griffiss was shot down by friendly forces after his Liberator failed to identify itself as it flew over the Channel . Both Spitfires, from a Polish Air Force squadron based in Exeter, opened fire and the Liberator's right engine was hit as it began to go down. The pilots reported a large patch of oil and disturbed water and searched later found bags of diplomatic mail and a leather bag belonging to Griffiss. The investigation failed to discover why the aircraft was not identified as friendly, but the B-24 Liberator was relatively unknown at the time and one of the pilots admitted he had mistaken the plane for a German Focke-Wulf 200. Lt Col Griffiss, originally from the Coronado suburb of San Diego, California, was an expert on war observation who was sent to Europe during the Spanish civil war in the 1930s. In May 1941, he was sent to London as part of a special observer group (Spobs) as the U.S. began to consider its involvement in World War Two. But in November that year, he was sent to Moscow to negotiate with the Soviet government for the opening of a Siberian supply route. Final journey: The B-24 Liberator had set off from Cairo to Britain and was unarmed, but confusion over the flight meant a Spitfire fighter squadron had not been told it was expected . Investigation: The Liberator was shot down and crashed into the English Channel, with a leather bag belonging to Lt Col Griffiss recovered from the sea . After failing to get anywhere, he flew from Kuibyshev - the temporary wartime capital after German forces reached Moscow - to Tehran, then to Cairo and it was on his flight to Britain that he was killed. Air traffic controllers who knew the Liberator would be arriving from northern France on Febuary 15 were reprimanded for not informing the Exeter fighter sector. The two pilots, Stanislaw Brzeski and Jan Malinowski, were blamed and recommended for court martial - although this was later dropped because of insufficient evidence. The court of inquiry said: 'In view of the important personages carried in civil aircraft, more attention should be paid to the identification of civil aircraft.' America entered World War Two after Japan launched its infamous strike on Pearl Harbour on December 7, 1941. Camp Griffiss, named after Lt Col Griffiss, is now the location of a royal park and none of the original blocks still stands. The air force officer also had an air base in the U.S. named in his honour, now Griffiss International Airport in Rome, New York State.

Sam Allardyce is usually a white wine man but, on the eve of his 60th birthday, the West Ham manager won’t mind knocking back these Clarets. Allardyce certainly has plenty to celebrate after this win. Not only are his team flying high in the Premier League table after a fourth Premier League win in eight games, they have reached those heights playing a brand of football not readily associated with him during his time in charge at Bolton and Blackburn down the road from Turf Moor. Victory here did not come easily in a hugely entertaining game, however. Burnley raised hopes of their first win of the season during a first half in which Kieran Trippier and George Boyd were outstanding. VIDEOS Scroll down to watch...

Mark Noble celebrates wildly with Sakho after the Senegal forward gave West Ham the lead . Aaron Cresswell is understandably delighted after seeing West Ham make it 1-0 at Burnley courtesy of Sakho . Adrian rejoices after seeing West Ham take the lead after the interval at Turf Moor .

Subs not used: Vaz Te, Jarvis, Jaaskelainen, O’Brien, Burke. Scorers: Sakho 49, Valencia 54, Cole 70 . Booked: Reid . Referee: Kevin Friend 7 . Star man: Diafra Sakho . But two goals in five minutes after the break from Diafra Safro – with his sixth in as many games – and Enner Valencia put Allardyce’s team in control. Boyd pulled one back but substitute Carlton Cole’s header made sure that Allardyce will have a very happy birthday on Sunday. He said: ‘I told the players before the game, “come on lads, I need a result because it’s my birthday and if we don’t get one it’s not going to be very pleasing even though I’m out with my old mates tonight”. ‘We’re only eight games in and I just hope it continues. If we’re in the top half in December, we can think about maintaining that for the rest of the season.’ Burnley had last season’s 26-goal top scorer Danny Ings back after a three-game absence to liven up their goal-starved attack – just four in eight league games now – and it certainly appeared to have the desired effect as they twice went close to taking the lead within the first eight minutes. There were less than two minutes on the clock when Trippier’s cross took a deflection off Aaron Cresswell and looped up towards Boyd just inside the box. In one motion, the former Hull player took the ball on his chest and away from James Collins before letting fly with a first-time volley which beat goalkeeper Adrian but came back off the underside of the bar. Then Lukas Jutkiewicz thought he had scored his first goal of the season when he tapped home close-range after Ings’s jinking run and low shot had brought a one-handed save from Adrian, but the big Burnley striker was clearly a couple of yards offside and it did not count. The Clarets continued to press with Trippier a constant threat down the right, and it was from another of his crosses that Jutkiewicz headed narrowly over under pressure from Collins. It was a similar story in the 29th minute when Jutkiewicz headed over after great work on the right by Boyd, but this time he had Michael Kightly arriving unmarked at the far post behind him and the winger’s frustration was plain to see. Burnley’s enterprise and energy kept West Ham pinned in their own half for long periods, but the visitors did go close twice in the space of five minutes with Stewart Downing involved on both occasions.

Downing is revelling in the free role he has been given by Allardyce this season, and it was his cross from the right in the 25th minute that created a great chance for in-form Sakho but the Senegal striker somehow planted is header wide at the near post under pressure from Jason Shackell. Then Downing popped up on the other wing and stepped inside Shackell before trying his luck from a tight angle with a curling effort that clipped Tom Heaton’s far post. There was always a chance that Burnley would live to regret not taking their chances, and so it proved as West Ham struck twice in the space of five minutes after the interval. Both goals came from fantastic crosses from their fullbacks, and both were wonderfully despatched by Sakho and Valencia. Sakho’s was his sixth in as many games as he arrived ahead of Shackell to meet Cresswell’s cross from the left and power a header past Heaton in the 49th minute. ‘He’s a bargain and if the transfer fee was £4.5million, with all the top-ups it’s still a bargain,’ said Allardyce. ‘This lad has been very exciting and he’s excited the rest of the players.’ A red flare landed on the pitch in the celebrations that followed, thrown from the West Ham fans behind the goal, and the smoke had only just cleared when they were applauding a second. Alex Song made a surging run upfield and fed Carl Jenkinson, and his equally good ball from the right picked out Valencia who rose above Michael Duff to head home. That should have knocked the stuffing out of Burnley. Instead it was the trigger for a stirring fightback.

Kightly’s delivery was held up in the wind and Adrian made a mess of catching it under pressure from Ings, allowing Boyd to fire home in the scramble that followed. Ings was inches away from equalising moments later when he met another wonderful cross from Trippier with a header that flew wide, but West Ham finally made sure with a third goal in the 70th minute. Burnley boss Sean Dyche said: ‘It’s a harsh reality in the Premier League that you have to take your chances.’ Cole’s header was not quite as impressive as the others as he got in ahead of Heaton to nod home from close-range after Sahko had turned Downing’s corner back across goal, and there was still time for substitute Ashley Barnes to hit the bar for Burnley, but Big Sam won’t be complaining as he enjoys that glass of wine.

Despite its local reputation as a great place to eat, last autumn The Good Life was struggling to attract outside custom. Profits even fell by a quarter as visitors to Shrewsbury apparently opted to steer clear of the vegetarian restaurant - despite it being awarded a runner-up medal in the Observer Food awards. They had perhaps been put off by a series of online reviews, such as one on TripAdvisor that said: 'Staff cold and unattentive. The vegan option wasn't vegan. There were hairs in my quiche.' Or they may have read one of about 30 similar postings that appeared on similar review sites. But . it has emerged that all the disparaging reviews were part of a personal . vendetta against the Good Life's owner, Joanna Langfield, 40 - by a . woman who had never even been to the restaurant. In . an apology published in The Times yesterday, Helen Griffiths, a marketing manager . from Salford, admitted 'misrepresenting the quality of the food and . service of the restaurant which, from other reviews and nominations, . does indicate an exemplary track record. She added: 'I made these comments based on . absolutely no knowledge of the business, or any of the company's staff, . as I have never actually visited or eaten at the restaurant.' It is believed that the apology, which would have cost just under £1,000, was a condition of Ms Griffiths' police caution for harassment. She is married to Ms Langfield's former . partner. The attack started after Ms Langfield became involved in a . legal dispute with Mr Griffiths in August. 'It started off quite extreme. Someone posted a review calling me \"arrogant\" and making other nasty . references. TripAdvisor actually took that one down.' Henriette Graham serves a customer in The Good Life restaurant, which became the subject of malicious false reviews on various websites . Helen Griffiths posted malicious reviews of The Good Life on TripAdvisor and other sites. They have since been removed . The apology from Helen Griffiths printed in The Times yesterday . Bad reviews then began appearing on a number of websites, with Ms Griffiths each time using different names. Initial attempts by Ms Langfield herself and then Shrewsbury police to have TripAdvisor remove the posts failed. The US-based company did not respond to any letters sent until they set  up a dedicated  UK customer  service operation. A . spokesman said: 'Every single report of suspicious content undergoes a . full investigation by our content integrity team and if a review is . found in breach of our guidelines, it will absolutely be removed from . the site.' Ms Griffiths was tracked down thanks to the help of a man who ran one of the sites on which she posted. He gave police the IP address was linked to Warrington - where Ms Griffiths worked. As a result of the malicious campaign The Good Life's profits slumped by 25 per cent. Ms . Langfield said: 'Before Christmas we got a statement from our . accountant showing an unusual dip. It was a really distressing . situation. I felt powerless to stop it.' An . investigation by the Advertising Standards Authority concluded the . declaration was misleading as the website, which has around 50 million . users' comments, cannot guarantee they are all genuine. One of Ms Griffiths' reviews said there were hairs in her quiche at the Good Life restaurant . The ruling came after complaints about the authenticity of reviews on the world's biggest travel site, with accusations that some businesses and even guests were putting up fake comments. TripAdvisor has faced claims that some establishments are being given poor write-ups by rivals to boost their own trade. While, malicious customers have even tried to blackmail small hotels with threats to post negative reviews. A spokesman for TripAdvisor said: 'We have confidence the 50million users who come to our site every month trust the reviews they read, which is why they keep coming back.' Earlier . this month TripAdvisor was told to change the wording on its website, which claims it offers 'trusted and honest' reviews. The Good Life is down a quiet pedestrian street in the heart of Shrewsbury . TripAdvisor has been accused of carrying false reviews from hotels looking to boost custom . A VITAL TOOL FOR TRAVELLERS . Researchers last year claimed to have come up with a way of spotting fake reviews on travel websites such as TripAdvisor. By studying the language of bogus recommendations they identified how companies fool the public into thinking their hotels and resorts are above par. A direct mention of the place where somebody stayed is a dead giveaway, as is the heavy use of 'I' and 'we'. Adverts which include lots of adverbs like 'really' and 'very' should be suspect, along with exclamation marks which denote false enthusiasm. A focus on who the person was with, such as a husband or family, should also alert travellers they are being duped, the scientists said. The research was commissioned after it emerged that hotels in Britain and abroad are bribing guests to write glowing reviews on website like TripAdvisor in exchange for cash or cut-price rooms and meals. The researchers from Cornell University in the U.S. tackled the problem of what they dubbed 'deceptive opinion spam' by asking freelance writers to produce 400 fake reviews of Chicago hotels and post them on review websites. They then mixed in 400 real reviews of the same hotels and asked three judges to try and tell them apart - but they were unable to do so. The team then developed an algorithm which was able to spot a fake 90 per cent of the time." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Woman launched campaign of hate against husband's former partner, who owned The Good Life restaurant ." } ]

As the high profile trial of the singer's tour promoter, AEG, continues, a disturbing photograph of the fallen pop star's corpse was shown to the court on Monday by Dr Christopher Rogers. His coroner's report described a man whose struggle to hide a skin pigmentation disease forced him to mask his true features but who would have lived a long life had he not overdosed on propofol. Face paint: A disturbing autopsy photograph of the singer, not released, was shown in court yesterday revealing that he tattooed his lips, his eyebrows and his hairline as seen here in older photos . The revelation of Jackson's permanent . make-up comes during the trial brought by the singer's mother . and children who claim AEG shares blame in his death for neglecting to . vet and supervise Mr Jackon's doctor, Dr Conrad Murray. The firm, which was organising Jackson's planned comeback concerts in London, claims it was not responsible for the star's decision to employ Conrad Murray as his doctor. Dr Rogers confirmed from his autopsy that Jackson's skin became lighter in the 1980s owing to 'vitiligo, a skin pigmentation disease.' He added: 'So some areas of the skin appear light and others appear dark.' The doctor also confirmed that an overdose of propofol killed the pop star although several other types of sedative administered by Murray the same morning contributed to his death. Expert: Medical examiner, Dr Christopher Rogers testified during Dr. Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial in October 2011 and appeared in court again yesterday in the trial brought by the Jacksons against concert promoter AEG . Michael Koskoff, a lawyer for . Katherine Jackson, asked the deputy medical examiner for Los Angeles . County: 'Would a fit, competent doctor administer propofol for . insomnia?' 'I would not expect that, no,' Dr Rogers responded. Guilty: Dr. Conrad Murray was sentenced to four years for administering a fatal does of propofol to the singer to help him sleep . Los Angeles coroner's toxicologist Dan . Anderson, also testified on Monday that the level of propofol in Jackon's body was 'consistent with major surgery anesthesia.' Propofol, a sedative used in operations and even executions, was allegedly taken so often by Jackson that he referred to it as 'milk'. Mr Anderson told the court: 'It raises a red flag in my eyes. It's very problematic to find it outside the hospital setting.' He went on to explain how when propofol is administered to a patient, a number of staff should be on hand equipped with sophisticated medical devices to intervene if the patient stops breathing. Faced with suggestions that the singer gave himself the lethal dose of propofol, Dr Rogers countered: '...based on the history that was available, I don't believe that that happened.' Furthermore, he testified, were it not for the lethal dose of the drug, the pop star's overall health would have promised him a normal lifespan. With no signs of addiction to street drugs, or any heart disease that some have insinuated triggered his death, 'there was no indication from the autopsy that there was anything anatomically wrong with him that would lead to premature death,' Dr Rogers said. CNN noted the importance of Dr Rogers' testimony in calculating Mr Jackson's expected lifespan as it would relate to damages. If he had not passed, the fact that the pop star would have continued to make billions of dollars will affect the number the Jackson family expect. AEG continue to argue that the singer chose Dr Murray as his tour medic and the company had no way of knowing what he was giving Jackson to sleep at night." }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Autopsy revealed how the singer also tattooed his lips pink and suffered from a skin pigmentation disease since the 1980s .\nCoroner testified that Jackson died of a fatal does of propofol but was also given seven other drugs to help him sleep .\nToxicologist says he had enough of the powerful sedative in his system to undergo major surgery .\nDr Christopher Rogers confirms Jackson's health aside from the overdose would have given him a normal lifespan ." } ]
