danny alexander today challenged alex salmond to a debate on scottish independence ‘any time, any place anywhere’ accusing the nationalist leader of ‘cowering in his bunker’ the liberal democrat chief secretary to the treasury told the mail that the first minister should stop ‘hiding away’ and go head to head with him the challenge came after mr salmond accused the tories, labour and lib dems of trying to 'bully' him with an unprecedented cross party warning that an independent scotland would not be allowed to keep the pound clash: alex salmond was challenged to a debate on the future of scotland by lib dem danny alexander, the most senior scot in the uk government mr alexander dismissed the snp's claims that an independent scotland could or should be able to share the pound as 'pure fiction' conservative chancellor george osborne insisted the pound was not like a cd collection to be divided in a 'a messy divorce' and labour's ed balls accused nationalists of not living in the real world it is a devastating blow for snp first minister mr salmond’s campaign to persuade the scots to vote to break away, leading him to grumble that about a bid by the 'westminster establishment to bully and intimidate' mr salmond, the leader of the snp, has challenged david cameron to debate him but the prime minister has declined on the grounds that the independence debate should be between scots and amid fears in downing street that a tory leader puts off scottish voters today mr alexander accused the first minister of cowardice for refusing to debate mr alexander told the mail that he – not scottish secretary alistair carmichael or no campaign leader alistair darling – is the most senior scot in the british government and he should go head to head with mr salmond mr osborne used a speech in edinburgh to insist the currency was not like a cd collection to be divided up in the event of a 'messy divorce' mr alexander said: ‘i’d like to debate alex salmond i will meet him any time, any place, anywhere it’s time that alex salmond got out of his bunker and started to engage in the debate with people in scotland, who have a vote in this referendum, who disagree with him ‘i’m the most senior scot in the uk government if he wants to debate the uk government i am available any time he’s welcome to come to the highlands any time ‘it’s about time that rather than hiding behind the bogus challenge to david cameron ‘it’s a way to avoid debate rather than seek it out this has to be settled by people in scotland the participants in this debate should be people who have a vote ‘i’ve offered to debate him alistair darling—the leader of the better together campaign—has offered to debate him he has refused it’s pretty pathetic’ mr alexander admitted that unionists have failed to make a strong enough or a positive enough case ‘we have to step up our argument because this is the most important decision facing our country this is the most important decision we will make in my political lifetime ‘the snp’s argument is based on asserting things that simply aren’t true they assert that the rest of the uk will sign up to a currency union they assert that an independent scotland will have much more money to spend on all the expensive promises they have made—and yet the opposite is the case' mr osborne also visited bsw timber in cargo near carlisle, but did not look like he was enjoying it mr osborne said is clear that as chancellor he could not recommend that the uk could share the pound with an independent scotland conservative chancellor george osborne: the evidence shows it wouldn’t work it would cost jobs and cost money and wouldn’t provide economic security for scotland or for the rest of the uk people need to know – that is not going to happen' lib dem chief secretary to the treasury danny alexander: 'this isn't bluff, or bullying, it's a statement of fact the snp's claims that an independent scotland could or should be able to share the pound are pure fiction' labour shadow chancellor ed balls: 'you’d be trying to negotiate a monetary union as scotland is pulling away from the uk it won’t happen, i wouldn’t recommend it scotland will not keep the pound if scotland chooses independence' the scottish government wants to keep the pound if there is a ‘yes’ vote in the independence referendum due to take place in september scottish nationalists accused the ‘westminster establishment’ of attempting to bully scotland into rejecting independence – and threatening to refuse to assume their share of the uk’s debts in retaliation mr salmond said: 'this is a concerted bid by a tory led westminster establishment to bully and intimidate but their efforts to claim ownership of sterling will backfire spectacularly 'the stance of any uk government will be very different the day after a yes vote to the campaign rhetoric we are hearing now' but mr osborne used a speech in edinburgh today to insist: 'if scotland walks away from the uk, it walks away from the uk pound' mr osborne went on: 'the scottish government say “it’s as much scotland’s pound as the rest of the uk’s” they are like an angry party to a messy divorce 'but the pound isn’t an asset to be divided up between the two countries after break up as if it were a cd collection 'the value of the pound doesn’t lie in the paper and ink that’s used to print it the value of the pound lies in the entire monetary system underpinning it' mr osborne insisted he wants scotland to keep the pound and the economic security that it brings but he added: 'it is clear to me i could not as chancellor recommend that we could share the pound with an independent scotland 'the evidence shows it wouldn’t work it would cost jobs and cost money and wouldn’t provide economic security for scotland or for the rest of the uk 'i don’t think any other chancellor of the exchequer would come to a different view the scottish government says that if scotland becomes independent there will be a currency union and scotland will share the pound 'people need to know – that is not going to happen' the chancellor later visited haas tek, an export driven business in lockerbie, scotland that specialises in the relocation and installation of industrial machinery and equipment the blunt warning from mr osborne was immediately matched by mr alexander, the lib dem chief secretary to the treasury, who dismissed claims scotland could keep the pound as 'pure fiction' he said: 'a currency union would leave the rest of the uk highly exposed to fiscal and financial risks from a separate scotland 'as a scot and as liberal democrat chief secretary to the uk treasury, on the basis of this analysis, i couldn't recommend a currency union to the people of scotland and my party couldn't agree to such a proposition for the rest of the uk 'this isn't bluff, or bullying, it's a statement of fact the snp's claims that an independent scotland could or should be able to share the pound are pure fiction 'when we vote in september, no one in scotland should vote for independence in the belief that we could keep the pound' and labour's ed balls added: 'it would be bad for scotland, it would place an unacceptable burden on the uk taxpayer, it would repeat the mistakes of the euro area 'in fact worse, you’d be trying to negotiate a monetary union as scotland is pulling away from the uk it won’t happen, i wouldn’t recommend it scotland will not keep the pound if scotland chooses independence' deputy first minister nicola sturgeon accused westminster parties of trying to 'bully' scots ministers have already said it is ‘unlikely’ that the rest of the uk would agree to a currency union, but it is a major blow for mr salmond that all three main parties have gone further than that to rule out any such arrangement scots deputy first minister nicola sturgeon said: ‘people won’t take kindly to the westminster establishment ganging up to try to bully scotland in the decision that we are being asked to take on the referendum' she insisted reports that the chancellor would reject any deal that would allow scotland to leave the uk and keep the pound were a 'cack handed, panicky campaign manoeuvre' ahead of that historic vote blair jenkins, chief executive of the pro independence yes scotland campaign, told bbc radio scotland's good morning scotland programme that the 'best currency choice for an independent scotland is to be in a currency union with the rest of the uk' deputy first minister nicola sturgeon he said ruling that out before the referendum was a 'very extreme position being taken for the purposes of negotiation' by the pro union parties mr jenkins insisted: 'it would be so clearly to the detriment of the rest of the uk to impose the additional costs, currency transactions, currency conversion, to threaten growth, to threaten jobs in that way 'to go against what we know is the wishes of the majority of people in england, that scotland should continue to use the pound after we vote yes in september, would be ludicrous' however lib dem former scottish secretary michael moore told the same programme that ruling out a currency union was 'the logical extension of the debate over the last year' he added: 'we've got a very effective monetary union at the moment as part of a political and fiscal union, and it works very well across the uk there are challenges in the economy, but together we have greater resilience and greater opportunities than if we go apart'

snowflakes are understood to be unique at a molecular level at least but scientists have revealed that each and every one of them can in fact be sorted into 35 general shapes, which in turn tell experts how they formed the shapes, which include column crystals, irregular snow particles and plane crystals which make ‘traditional’ hexagonal snowflakes vary according to temperature and humidity snowflakes can occur in a huge variety of shapes this infographic shows the basic levels of classification for the 35 shapes, which are then subdivided into 121 categories, decided by researchers at the kitami institute of technology in hokkaido, japan bournemouth based chemistry teacher andy brunning, created an infographic based on recent research to show the different shapes, which he published on his blog, compound interest it shows 39 types of ‘solid precipitation’ or snow, including the 35 types of snowflakes and their names, which can be further divided into 121 subtypes simpler snowflake shapes such as germ of ice crystals, are more common at low humidities, while more complex flakes, such as plane crystals are formed in areas of high humidity simpler snowflake shapes such as germ of ice crystals, are more common at low humidities, while more complex flakes, such as plane crystals (a stock image is pictured) are formed in areas of high humidity ‘we still don’t know the precise variables behind the formation of particular shapes, although researchers are continually working on theoretical equations to predict snowflake shapes,’ mr brunning wrote the latest study by researchers at the kitami institute of technology in hokkaido, japan, splits the classification into three levels: general, intermediate and elementary, with the graphic showing the 39 intermediate categories these are sorted into eight groups: column crystals, plane crystals – which are what many people imagine snowflakes look like – a combination of column and plane crystals, aggregation of snow crystals, rimed snow crystals, germ of ice crystals and irregular particles, one of which looks a little bit like a fern the number of elementary categories used to explain snow crystals has increased from 21 in the early 1930s, to 42 in the 1950s, 80 in the 1960s and now stands at 121, as of 2013 snowflakes are of interest to scientists who not only want to understand their formation, but also wish to find out how crystals could be used in different applications, such as in silicon and semiconductors the study of snowflakes falls within crystallography – the exploration of crystal structures – which allows chemists to determine the arrangement of atoms in solids ‘crystallography works by passing x rays through the sample, which are then diffracted as they pass through by the atoms contained therein,’ mr brunning explained ‘analysis of the diffraction pattern allows the structure of the solid to be discerned’ the technique was used by rosalind franklin to photograph the double helix arrangement of dna prior to watson and crick’s confirmation of its structure last year, a man has created a beautiful video showing how snowflakes flakes grow to form their shapes under a microscope russian video maker vyacheslav ivanov filmed the formation of hexagonal ice crystals to produce a two minute ‘microscopic time lapse' the flakes are created when a water droplet freezes around pollen or a speck of dust in the air, creating an ice crystal russian video maker vyacheslav ivanov filmed the formation of hexagonal ice crystals to produce a two minute ‘microscopic time lapse' this is a still from the video, which shows a water droplet freezing around a speck of dust to create an ice crystal then more water molecules land on the crystal, creating the hexagonal shape as they extend six ways along the ‘arms’ these ice crystals that make up snowflakes are symmetrical because they reflect the internal order of the crystal’s water molecules as they arrange themselves in predetermined spaces to form a six sided snowflake, the national oceanic and atmospheric administration (noaa) explained the reason that some flakes have six lines of symmetry is because of the hydrogen bonds in water crystals as the water freezes, bound together water molecules crystallise into a hexagonal structure so that each point on a hexagon is an oxygen atom with hydrogen bonded to an oxygen atom on each side, io9 reported as the freezing process continues, more water molecules are added to the microscopic structure, causing it to bloom outwards along its six sides and transforms into what we recognise as a snowflake the precise nature of the shape created depends upon the temperature and the humidity long, needle like crystals form at slightly warmer temperatures like 5 degrees celsius, whereas flakes that form in cooler temperatures such as 15 degrees celsius are flatter and more circular in shape

of the myths about russia's diaspora though they also fuelled new ones there was the firm of estate agents which has drawn up a map for buyers with famous hotels, buildings from the elite flats one hyde park to kensington palace, and even the russian embassy they said every russian who spends £10million on a flat spends £45million in the british economy, and the centre of the house hunting is

billion',' he said 'but those guys worth a billion say 'we're not wealthy, there are guys worth tens of billions' it's all about perception' the show interviewed luxury wine shop owner evgeny chichvarkin, who spent four years as a teenager on street markets before the soviet union collapsed he was 17 at the time, and started selling mobile phones when the country opened up to western business ideas 'i just wanted money,' he said adding he didn't even realise when he had become a millionaire 'our accounting manager said when we reached 2million,' he said 'it was 24/7 non stop,

old navy is at the center of yet another controversy regarding its treatment of plus size customers just six weeks after the retailer was forced to defend its decision to charge its female shoppers more money for larger sizes, a plus size customer on reddit has slammed the store for making its online plus size menu option twice the size of every other menu 'thanks for reminding me that i take up enough space for two categories, old navy,' user ichasedragons commented alongside an image of the offending menu, which seems to only appear on the brand's canadian website 'thanks old navy': reddit user ichasedragons said that the menu layout on the brand's canadian website was a cruel reminder that she 'takes up enough space for two categories' the menu shows the different clothing categories offered in the online store, each of which feature an image of a model showcasing one of the store's chosen fashion looks however under the 'women' and 'men' options, which sit aside one another, the 'women's plus' link sits astride two columns, a layout which once pointed out has caused outrage with a number of other reddit users many users have gone on to question why the women's plus category requires its own menu option in the first place, when the men's plus size selection big and tall is just included in the main menswear category 'the weird part is, old navy does have a big and tall selection in their men's clothing, but you don't really see it until you click on the item you want to buy,' user lilfunky1 pointed out 'but the women's stuff is separated out as a whole new category of women's plus' according to one beady eyed user, the reason for the bizarre menu layout is that the canadian version of the website doesn't appear to offer a maternity section for women the category which sits alongside women's plus on the main us site '[the canandian site] don't have a maternity category for some reason,' arnaudh explained the smaller the size, the smaller the price: old navy's popular rockstar super skinny jeans are $3494 if bought in sizes 0 to 20 unfair increase: any women who buy a pair of the rockstar super skinny jeans in a plus size fit will be charged an additional $10, bringing the total price up to $4494 'if you go to the us version, it doesn't display that way because of the additional category starmartyr added: 'why wouldn't they have a maternity section in canada? does old navy believe that canadians are hatched from eggs?' in november, new york based merchandiser renee posey called for old navy to scrap its 'discriminatory' plus size up charges, saying that the discrepancy between the prices for larger men and women is nothing other than 'straight up fat shaming' and while the store insisted that 'unique fabrics and design elements' were to blame for its female customers being charged more money for larger sizes while the menswear designs remain the same price regardless of size ms posey insisted that the explanation wasn't good enough 'plus size women like myself are kind of fed up with being treated like second class citizens by retailers,' the 34 year old told todaycom 'i think it's reached critical mass and people are ready for a change' after ms posey started a petition on changeorg, calling for the brand to change their gender biased price policies, a spokeswoman for gap inc, old navy's parent company, released a statement blaming the increased costs for plus size womenswear on the fact that the larger designs require additional details not found in the smaller sizes fed up: renee posey (pictured) started a campaign in november to try and force old navy to scrap its 'discriminatory' prices fighting for change: ms posey's petition was signed by more than 33,000 people in a matter of days 'for women, styles are not just larger sizes of other women’s items, they are created by a team of designers who are experts in creating the most flattering and on trend plus styles, which includes curve enhancing and curve flattering elements such as four way stretch materials and contoured waistbands, which most men's garments do not include,' spokeswoman debbie felix explained 'this higher price point reflects the selection of unique fabrics and design elements' but ms posey insisted that the statement did not address why there is not a single increase for any of the larger menswear designs, particularly as they also require the use of additional materials 'every woman knows how hard it is to find a good pair of jeans: a pair that is the right fit at the right price,' she wrote on the petition 'that’s why i was shocked when, during a recent visit to old navy’s website, i noticed that they were charging $12 $15 more for plus sized women's jeans but not up charging jeans for “big” men 'if they are charging plus sized women more to cover the cost of the fabric being used, then why aren’t they doing the same for men?' according to the prices on the old navy website at the time of publication, the same differences in price between the plus size styles and the regular styles are still in effect

a pensioner has lost a bitter legal battle with a multi millionaire tory peer over a patch of land next to his recycling yard that he has used for more than 17 years tom mcallister, 68, said he decided to clear the disused plot, which was used as a dumping ground, after he was unable to find the legal owner in government records but lawyers insisted the land in rigside, lanarkshire, belonged to the estate of david douglas home, son of ex prime minister alec douglas home, and took legal action against mr mcallister tom mcallister, right, said he decided to clear the disused plot, which was used as a dumping ground, after he was unable to find the legal owner in government records lawyers said it belonged to lord home (left) mr mcallister, who runs a pallet recycling firm, said he spent around £10,000 clearing the 03 acre site and had been using it to park his trailers and to hand out free firewood to the local community lawyers acting for lord home, former chairman of private bank coutts & co, said the land was part of the douglas estate, and an adjoining estate owned by the carmichael family mr mcallister was ordered to vacate the site in rigside, lanarkshire, but appealed all the way to the court of session where judges have now found in lord home's favour today, mr mcallister told of his disappointment at the outcome and said he was bracing himself to be thrown off the land he said: 'i can't believe i was dragged to court over this in the first place but when the decision went against us we decided to take it all the way 'this will mean that i will be thrown off the land and it will cost me a fortune mr mcallister, who runs a pallet recycling firm, pictured above, said he spent around £10,000 clearing the 03 acre site and had been using it to park his trailers and to hand out free firewood to the local community in a written judgement, lord carloway found that the two estates had a valid title to the land near mr mcallister's business (above) as he could not produce definitive evidence that it was owned by another party 'i have been portrayed as a squatter but i have looked after the land for 17 years when nobody else was bothering with it 'it's a piece of land which is of no use to the estate but they have been determined to remove me from it i'm really disappointed, i think it's ridiculous' he added: 'we have been here for 17 years and have spent a lot of time and money clearing the site which was previously a dumping ground 'we checked with the registers of scotland and couldn't find a clean title for the land so we decided to clear it ourselves 'we use the site to park trailers and to dispense fire wood for free to the local community, which is much appreciated in an area of high unemployment' in a written judgement, lord carloway found that the two estates had a valid title to the land as mr mcallister could not produce definitive evidence that it was owned by another party lord home had earlier sparked fury by brokering a deal to let scottish coal mine his land in lanarkshire for a fee in 2012 environmental protesters invaded the ground of his mansion on the estate and dug up his lawn yesterday, no one from douglas and angus estates, lord home's family business that manages the estate, was available for comment the estate's factor henry birch has previously said that they believe they are the legal owners of the land along with the carmichael estate and had offered in the past to lease it to mr mcallister legacy: lord home is the son of former tory prime minister sir alec douglas home, pictured above the douglas family's connections can be traced back to 767 ad when sholto duglass 'turned' a battle in favour of king solvathuis but it is william douglas, born in 1174, who is widely acknowledged as the founder of the black douglas family and the douglas estates the earls of home can boast similar lineage to the douglases the family are associated with the hirsel estate, which was purchased from sir william ker in 1611 by the first earl of home the two families and the two estates came together in 1832 when lady lucy montagu douglas married cospatrick alexander home – the 11th earl of home the union resulted in the joining of the estates – geographically separate, but run as a single integrated trading business the set up is one that remains today the estates are focused on the hirsel at coldstream and douglas in south lanarkshire, extending to about 36,000 acres the douglas estate in south lanarkshire has been the seat of the douglas family for some 800 years but the fortunes of the estate ebbed and flowed with each generation douglas castle, which once stood on the estate, was sieged, destroyed, burnt down before it was finally demolished in 1938 – leaving behind it only the remains of castle dangerous (built in 1457) in 1689 james, earl of angus, raised the cameronian regiment later to be known as the scottish rifles at braidlea in douglas the regiment served both their country for 300 years before being disbanded at douglas in 1968 source: douglas and angus estates

drivers in some of sydney's inner west and southern suburbs were ecstatic to find petrol prices drop as low as 99 cents on tuesday, for the first time since 2009 independent retailers in the suburbs of tempe and hurstville have continued to sell cheap e10 petrol on wednesday, with low prices expected to continue across the country for the next couple of weeks due to heightened global supply an employee from metro petroleum in revesby told daily mail australia that the station had queues of excited people taking advantage of the offer by filling their tanks straight to the top petrol prices fell to 99 cents in sydney's inner west and southern suburbs suburbs of tempe and hurstville 'they're all taking pictures and saying they haven't seen it for so long, like for 20 years or something,' the employee, elie, said petrol prices have been slowly falling across sydney over the last few weeks and are unlikely to stop soon, according to national roads and motorists' association spokesperson, peter khoury 'the average price for petrol is currently around $112 and we believe it will go below $109 and we think it'll happen in days,' mr khoury told daily mail australia 'we want to be really careful not to forecast too long term because the determining factors are complete beyond australia's control and prices can change suddenly, but we don't expect prices to go up any time in the next few weeks' national roads and motorists' association spokesperson, peter khoury, said the average price for petrol was likely to drop below $109 in the next few days an employee from metro petroleum in revesby told daily mail australia that the station, which was selling e10 petrol for 99 cents a litre on tuesday and wednesday, had queues of excited people filling their tanks to the top 'they're all taking pictures and saying they haven't seen it for so long, like for 20 years or something,' the employee said mr khoury said that global factors were driving prices down, adding that independent retailers had a hand in lowering costs due to creating competition in the market 'supply is out shipping demand we don't see that very often in the industry,' he said 'there is significant production in the us at the moment and saudi arabia are competing by increasing their own production so there is more oil in the market and that's why it's so cheap' 'consistently, the cheapest places for petrol are the outer suburbs of major capital cities because there are more independent stations so there's more competition independents are the ones putting downwards pressure on prices global factors are driving prices down: 'there is significant production in the us at the moment and saudi arabia are competing by increasing their own production so there is more oil in the market and that's why it's so cheap,' mr khoury said 'there also tends to be a lot more traffic going through them [outer suburbs] so there's more volume being sold and more competition than say on the coast of sydney where you have more local traffic' on the contrary, mr khoury said that the further out of capital cities that commuters travel, the less likely prices would fall, with some areas consistently paying about 20 30 cents per litre more than the average price in the city of national prices, he added that adelaide often had cheaper prices than sydney, reaching $113 recently, while melbourne was often on par with sydney's prices 'brisbane for some bizarre reason never fell and has quite high petrol prices in comparison to the others,' he said 'how cheap the prices will get down there depends on what the local independents are doing'

derryn hinch is back 20 years after he last hosted his own program, the broadcaster dubbed 'the human headline' will front a current affairs show on pay tv channel sky news and it'll be the tried and tested no holds barred hinch approach, which has served him well over the years and also landed him in hot water 'it feels pretty good,i do enjoy the stuff i do at the moment but to have your own program again, it has been 20 years since the hinch program,' he told daily mail australia on wednesday scroll down for video 'they approached me' derryn hinch will become a host of his own current affairs show again, hinch live on sky news, some 20 years after his last program was shelved by network ten hinch's recent career has been dominated by radio and appearances on the sunrise program on channel seven, while also filling in on sky news for other presenters hinch is the first to admit he's made plenty of his own headlines, aside from reporting on those in them he has battled liver cancer, was given little hope by doctors but underwent a transplant three years ago he reportedly found love again at age 70, with with former detective natasha chadwick, 36 years his junior but it is his professional career which has been colourful and controversial, to the extreme in 1987, he served a short time in jail for revealing details of an alleged paedophile priest's prior conviction during a trial he was then placed under house arrest for five weeks in 2011 for breaching suppression orders on the names of sex offenders, as a consequence of his belief that the public have ‘a right to know’ who they are and he was forced to spend his birthday last year behind bars in victoria's langi kal kal prison the shock jock jailed for 50 days for failing to pay a court fine of $100,000 imposed on him for breaching another suppression order, this time relating to jill meagher's killer the veteran broadcaster has been jailed twice and placed under house arrest on another occasion for breaking contempt of court and breaking suppression orders derryn hinch has always argued for the public's right to know here the broadcaster held a news conference outside the state law building in brisbane in july last year after meeting with queensland's attorney general to discuss his proposal to introduce a us style sex offender register but he hasn't changed and won't be changing, hinch promised 'it will be a fair bit of the old hinch (style) and a touch of larry king in there too with a lot more interviews and a bit of entertainment,' he said 'remember that i hosted the midday show, did a lot of showbiz and spoke with a lot of authors, getting a guest on the set on a saturday night will be interesting 'they (sky news) approached me, i wasn’t out there shopping for a job 'two shows on a weekend will be a challenge, we all know that saturday night is a wasteland on tv but that is the challenge for me 'saturday night, especially, will be hard core, plenty of people have said to me 'oh, it will be great i have nothing to watch on saturday night' so we’ll see what happens 'it won't be as political as the other stuff on sky news, which is so politically skewed with panellists, i am just putting it together, a work in progress and i have already been bumped from the planned opening program because of the queensland election' anyone thinking he may be getting soft in his slightly advanced age, would be sadly mistaken 'just because it’s the weekend i'm not going to be suddenly become the homogenised version of hinch,' he said 'i got into trouble recently when i was filling in when i said that tony abbott walks as if as it he's got haemorrhoids i speak my mind and i am too old to change and not interested in changing 'there won't be this makeover thing, it's just me 'i've got a new venue, they (sky news) are very committed, i'm in a brand new studio at southbank 'it's melbourne based but not melbourne centric' he says the hunger for news and current affairs is still there, 55 years after beginning as a cadet on the taranaki herald in new zealand the other challenge will be to get the big names to open up and find up and comers to interview 'two shows on a weekend will be a challenge, we all know that saturday night is a wasteland on tv but that is the challenge for me,' hinch admitted 'when you’ve been around a long time, it's a big advantage, you have a sense of history,' he told dma 'the gst, for example, i remember raising it with kerry packer before (john) howard brought it in and i told kp that i supported it and he said 'you're f***ing mad' and went on to tell me why and he was righ about some other taxes and all the promises that weren’t kept 'it's those sorts of anecdotes and experiences i can draw on 'they (interesting characters) are still out there, i must say, and i do admit the better stoushes did come with the older pollies like bob hawke and paul keating 'hawke would revoke your insults sarcastically, delivering a darren or a darryl in his response,' he said, delivering an almost perfect bob hawke impersonation in making the point 'but keating, was so smart, he was actually charismatic women would flock to paul keating when he walked into a room, he wasn't all just zegna suits' politics will not be the dominant subject, for fear of turning viewers off on the tricky saturday night programming 'i won't be heavily political and when we can, it will be about the week that was as well, it’s a work in progress' daily mail australia found him in quite jovial mood and when asked who he would like to line up as guests for the early shows, hinch quipped: 'obama on the first show and the pope on the second' he's back hinch says he's always ready to go toe to toe with the biggest names 'they (interesting characters) are still out there bob hawke would revoke your insults sarcastically, delivering a darren or a darryl in his response but keating was so smart, he was

imagine stepping into a room where, at the touch of a button, you could visit any city on earth, have any experience you wanted and do anything you wanted to do that’s what was envisaged in the various series of star trek in the form of a holodeck, and now scientists are one step closer to making the fictional technology a reality using an oculus rift headset and a room full of cameras, researchers have been able to partially simulate travelling to mysterious, virtual worlds the technology has been developed by scientists at the max planck institute for science in the demonstration (pictured) the participant, wearing a wireless oculus rift headset, 'sidles' her way through chairs on a virtual airplane and then sits down in a seat provided for her in the real world a terminally ill grandmother with cancer is using an oculus rift virtual reality headset to experience life outside a virtual italian villa, from her armchair in seattle the idea to use virtual reality to give roberta firstenberg an outdoor experience without leaving her home came from her granddaughter, priscilla, who works as an artist designing video games she emailed oculus about her idea and they sent her a headset, for free, for roberta to use before long, roberta was walking through a virtual tuscan villa, trying to catch butterflies and admiring the sunshine 'her favorite part was just being able to walk up and down the stairs again of the villa in the tuscany demo,' said priscilla 'i guess we take a lot of things for granted' the technology has been developed by scientists at the max planck institute for biological cybernetics in germany to replicate the experience of being in a star trek holodeck, the team use a wireless virtual reality oculus rift headset this means their test subjects can walk around the room unhindered in the video by computerphile the researchers explain how they set up multiple infrared cameras around the room, which communicate with the wireless headset the sides of the square room each measured 32 feet (10 metres), giving the subjects ample room to wander around according to the scientists each of the test subjects can be tracked down to millimetre precision 'i got to try out the holodeck and the experience was crazy, really realistic,' sean riley of computerphile tells mailonline 'they're using it to simulate in flight comfort for a project called vr hyperspace the idea is that going into vr it might be a way to improve in flight experience 'they are looking at whether changing your avatar's size causes you to feel like you have more space' 'most of the research they're doing is to test what prevents nausea and so on i have to say i felt a little nauseous after i got a bit cocky in there; generally though you feel like you are there' in the star trek tv series and movies, people would often travel to far flung locations, or places they enjoyed visiting, by entering the holodeck (pictured) and asking the computer to create a virtual world for them they were then free to interact with the world as they saw fit the star trek inspired technology allows users to walk in a virtual room the team used the homemade wireless headset with motion sensing technology attached that was tracked by infrared cameras this could track them to within a millimetre to create the experience the researchers attached markers on top of the headset similar to those used for motion capture in movies the team can then give the user a virtual world within which they can walk around unlike the actual holodeck in star trek, however, players cannot interact with their environment, leaving some of the subjects to reveal the experience feels slightly odd in the video shown, one of the subjects dons the headset and makes her way up and down the aisles of an airplane a seat is provided for her in the real world, which she can sidle towards and sit in the technology is still very much in its infancy, so there is no news yet if there will be attempts to create public locations that people can use, but for those who want to see the holodeck become a reality this is certainly a step in the right direction

having a girl, who they named kate, instead of a boy who he may have sexually abused 'the comment you made just before i gave birth to our daughter when you said you hoped we didn't have a little boy, because 'you just didn't know if you could keep his little penis out of your mouth' was indication enough that you were sick,' grant wrote in the email obtained by tmz 'i should have followed my gut then, and then again 14 years ago, and kicked your ass to the curb,' she added but a source close to collins told the gossip site that the allegations are 'absolutely untrue,' that he never received that email and grant never brought the claims up during their contentious divorce proceedings collins' lawyer has not returned mailonline's requests for comment as of wednesday collins is currently under investigation by the nypd in response to the tapes the lapd is collaborating with new york authorities, but they initially closed their own investigation into collins two years ago after

weinman, adding that he touched her as well collins and weinman divorced in 1978 'there was one moment of touching where her handi put her her hand on my penis,' collins says collins goes on to admit

12 or 13 at the time the recordings were taken during a 2012 marriage therapy session that proved unsuccessful as collins and his wife chose to file for divorce that year the couple met filming a 1982

long running family drama about parents raising seven children a still taken from the final episode in 2007 actress jessica biel (second left) got her start in acting on the show she is now married to justin timberlake 'i thought, either he's gay or a complete jerk, because he can't be as fabulous as he looks and be available!' grant told people nypd spokesman stephen david says a complaint against collins was filed in 2012, accusing him of forcing a then 14 year old girl to perform a lewd act in 1972 davis says the case is open, but no charges have been filed in the hours after the tapes were released tuesday morning, collins' life and career started falling apart as he was fired from a small role in the ted sequel, was axed from a part in tv show scandal and resigned from his position on the national board for the screen actors guild reruns of his hit show 7th heaven, which ran from 1996 2007, have now been taken off the schedule at network up tv and replaced with episodes of reality

donna d'errico tweeted shortly after 8pm that he had shot himself, and members of the media reported hearing a loud pop however, the reports turned out to be false and collins wasn't even home at the time shots were heard tuesday night at collins' home (pictured) in tarzana, california but they ended up being a false alarm collins' next door neighbor, former baywatch star donna d'errico tweeted shortly after 8pm that he had shot himself, and members of the media reported hearing a loud pop she then apologized for false alarm collins is best known for his role as the minister dad on 7th heaven, a show about a religious family raising a large brood of seven children the actor talked about how much the role had an influence on his personal life in a people magazine interview from 1999, telling the magazine that he spent one sunday a month as a lay eucharistic minister at los angeles episcopalian church 'i guess life does imitate art!' he said while most of the nation has swiftly come out against the actor, his 7th heaven on screen wife catherine hicks has come to his defense she was filmed leaving a santa monica hospital on tuesday, where she said there was never any indication he was a molester during more than a decade on set together when they regularly acted with underage children 'stephen is a good guy in my opinion,' hicks said collins' on screen wife came to his defense on tuesday, after the tapes were released she said: 'stephen is a good guy in my opinion' pictured at the 2001 teen choice awards, above but that's not the portrait his estranged wife grant has been painting in their messy divorce proceedings in bombshell divorce papers obtained by mailonline, grant claims her husband used his star power to trick abuse children 'i believe that stephen used his celebrity status to engender the trust of the families of the children he molested,' grant wrote 'i further believe that there have been other victims, but he has thus far only confessed to those three girls' in the court filings faye said she first learned of collins' 'illness' in the presence of his therapist in january, 2012 – after 27 years of marriage papers: both collins and grant listed their separation date as february 1, 2012 in their initial divorce filings back in may of 2012 (above) bombshell: in november of 2013, grant filed papers again since the divorce was taking too long to be finalized, where she revealed having learned of collins' illness and asking that any legal liability collins might have would not come out of her pocket and according to the papers she spent 20 months coping with the trauma of his alleged abuse on children and worrying about her 'moral and legal responsibility' she said: 'obviously i am sickened by stephen's actions i have urged stephen multiple times to seek proper treatment for pedophilia 'i am particularly afraid of what may happen if he does not seek treatment, because he may be working or interacting with children in connection with his employment' grant has reportedly been using the taped therapy session as blackmail against collins for years, in an attempt to get more alimony from the actor his attorney, mark vincent kaplan, told tmz: 'over the course of my representation of stephen in the divorce case, faye has repeatedly threatened to give this audiotape to the media unless stephen agreed to pay her millions of dollars more than that to which she was legally entitled 'when these demands were rebuffed, faye attemptedwithout successto peddle the tape in numerous ways to numerous different people it appears that she has finally found an audience for this tapenot surprisingly, on the eve of the trial in the divorce case where, again, she is seeking millions of dollars more than that to which she is legally entitled 'though we would like to address the tape itself, the circumstances dictate that we must regrettably refrain from doing so at this time'

several hours after owner donald sterling was banned from the nba for life, the los angeles clippers sprinted and soared through a playoff game as if a weight had been lifted from their collective shoulders the clippers finished a tumultuous day with a 113 103 victory over the golden state warriors on tuesday night, leaving their home court to high fives and standing ovations from fans enthralled by the prospect of watching an nba title chase without sterling in his front row seat 'we have a tough locker room, all of us are tough, but it almost brought out tears to your eyes just to feel the support from the fans,' said chris paul, the clippers' star point guard scroll down for post game reaction fans hold up signs in support of the los angeles clippers during game 5 of an opening round nba basketball playoff series on tuesday hours after their owner was issued a lifetime ban by the nba, the clippers stormed to victory winners: los angeles clippers' jamal crawford (left) and deandre jordan (right) celebrate after the nba conference quarter final game against the golden state warriors on tuesday nba commissioner adam silver delivered the extraordinary punishment to sterling after a recording of racist statements by the real estate mogul was made public several days ago the ban is one of the harshest penalties in the history of us sports, but was met with near universal acclaim from fellow owners, civil rights observers and nba players who strongly contemplated a playoff boycott if sterling wasn't punished harshly 'the views expressed by mr sterling are deeply offensive and harmful,' silver said while announcing his first major action as the league's commissioner 'that they came from an nba owner only heightens the damage and my personal outrage sentiments of this kind are contrary to the principles of inclusion and respect that form the foundation of our diverse, multicultural and multiethnic league' sterling was fined $25 million, the maximum allowable under the nba constitution silver also will urge the nba's board of governors to compel sterling to sell the clippers, and if three fourths of the other 29 owners agree, the league's longest tenured owner almost certainly will be forced to give up the team he has owned since 1981 a recording of racist statements by real estate mogul and clippers owner donald sterling was made public several days ago he has been banned from the nba for life sterling made no public comment about the ban, but the owner is among the most litigious people in sports team spokesman seth burton said in an email that the clippers had no plans to issue a statement from sterling on tuesday, but the franchise released a statement 'wholeheartedly' supporting silver's decision while the league waited to see whether sterling will fight to keep his team, the clippers got back to basketball with a flourish two days earlier, with news of sterling's comments still fresh, the clippers dumped their team warmup jerseys in a pile at center court in oakland in a gesture of defiance against their owner before losing game 4 of the series after silver's announcement and an emotional team meeting, the pacific division champions methodically beat the warriors to take a 3 2 series lead los angeles is on the brink of just its third playoff series victory since sterling bought this star crossed team nearly 33 years ago 'i was really proud of them,' clippers coach doc rivers said 'i thought they were tired a lot tonight i thought you could see them getting tired from all the emotional baggage over the last four days they had great mental toughness tonight' even while sterling contemplates his next move, the clippers organization rushed to distance itself from sterling shortly after silver's announcement, the clippers' website featured only a black screen with a simple message: 'we are one' the mantra was repeated by the team's public address announcers and chanted by their fans several times during their playoff game nba commissioner adam silver announced on tuesday that clippers owner donald sterling has been banned for life and fined $25m for making racist comments in a taped conversation sterling is banned from staples center and the clippers' training complex in playa vista, a beautiful $60 million facility constructed by sterling he is prevented from participating in any decisions by the clippers, or from any league activity, including board of governors meetings most of the advertising signage at staples center was either covered in black cloth or removed for the game many sponsors dropped the clippers or re evaluated their relationships with the nba over the past several days, and silver is hopeful they will return with sterling's departure sterling's long estranged wife, rochelle, watched the game from a seat in the lower bowl, not in the courtside chairs usually occupied by the couple or by donald sterling and a string of young female friends one of those friends, v stiviano, was the other voice on the recordings made public last week silver said sterling had confirmed his voice was on the recordings he criticized stiviano for posting pictures of herself online with black athletes magic johnson and matt kemp 'don't bring him to my games,' sterling said of johnson, the former lakers star and current los angeles dodgers owner 'yeah, it bothers me a lot that you want to promo, broadcast, that you're associating with black people do you have to?' despite the urgency of the potential move, sterling seems almost certain to get the highest sale price in history for an nba franchise if he is indeed forced to sell after decades of incompetence under sterling's watch, the clippers are now a successful team located in glamorous los angeles and they're about to get much more valuable when they sign a new broadcast deal in 2016 after the news of sterling's comments broke last weekend, rivers clearly questioned whether he would stay with the team that pried him away from the boston celtics a year ago with a lucrative contract the championship winning coach, who is black, said he still hadn't made up his mind before game 5 'i had given it zero thought, as far as that goes,' said rivers, who briefly played for sterling with the clippers 'obviously, adam's decision, if there was going to be one, makes mine easier' fans carry signs about los angeles clippers owner donald sterling outside staples center before game 5 of the clippers' opening round nba basketball playoff series against the golden state warriors

transition into the industry in 2012 'my kids know that mummy is a journalist… they know she makes sad people feel happy and they know she’s creative and wrote a book that’s all they need to know at the moment' despite the stigma surrounding the profession, the escort said friends and peers had been very supportive of her transition into the industry in 2012 after visiting a brothel during her

chatting online and he came across as a very professional car salesman and a family man 'he showered me with compliments and offered to take me out the couple pictured in happier times ms dronfield had been in a relationship with smith for a year and he showered her with gifts and meals out at expensive restaurants but when he became increasingly controlling she decided to have time out from the relationship it was during this separation that the couple met on february 2 2014, before smith brutally attacked her 'we started dating and he would take me to posh restaurants and top hotels 'he held doors open and called me his princess i was very flattered of course 'i didn't realise coming on so strongly so early was a red flag' it was after her father became seriously ill that jason's behaviour started to change she said: 'my dad would help me a lot with my children and jason stepped in to help out he was amazing and would look after the children for me when i worked 'but i realise now this was a way of him controlling my life at that point he was my saviour little did i know what destruction was around the corner 'jason changed and would stop me from seeing my friends and always just make plans for the two of us she asked smith to move out so he could sort himself out before agreeing to meet a week later to talk things through she said: 'we spent the night talking and eventually jason fell asleep on my sofa, and i went through to bed 'the next thing i knew, i woke up covered in blood' ms dronfield zoe recovering in hospital ms dronfield worked with cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist david kilmurry a month after her ordeal 'my first thought was i wasn't going to die because i needed to be there for my children 'i grew up without a mother and i didn't want that for my children 'the whole house was covered in blood the bedroom was red and the bed was sodden 'the bath was filled with water and he was cleaning knives in the bath there was an 8 inch

mr kilmurry, 39, a cognitive behavioral hypnotherapist, from coventry, said: 'zoe has made an amazing recovery from devastating physical and psychological injuries, to go to court and give evidence hypnotherapy has been approved for use by the british medical association since 1955 and is also recognised by the national institute of clinical excellence (nice) the form of therapy enables you to enlist the help of your conscious and unconscious/subconscious mind to deal with a range of mental, emotional and physical conditions for those who have experienced a traumatic experience practitioners will tend to use cognitive hypnotherapy or analytical hypnotherapy, which uses the unconscious mind ms dronfield worked with cognitive behavioural hypnotherapist david kilmurry a month after her ordeal, and through their sessions was able to piece together what happened on the night she was attacked and bring smith to justice their sessions involved regression and mr kilmurry said her progress was 'amazing' he said: 'directly after the event zoe had no recollection of what had happened to her it wasn't until later on down the hypnotherapy line that the trust built up and she

donald sterling’s affair with the model 'girlfriend' who exposed him as a racist wasn’t ‘his first rodeo’ and the la clippers owner’s wife is the person ‘least fooled and least affected by his ‘grotesque lifestyle’, explosive court papers reveal vanessa stiviano’s lawyer set out a strident defense of the 31 year old after rochelle sterling sued her for embezzling $18m – the total gifts and cash sterling, 80, is said to have given his 31 year old lover – including a condo, a ferrari, two bentleys and a range rover mac e nehoray wrote in response to the suit: ‘this is an action brought by a very angry wife whose husband is a highly public figure and who is well known to the “keeping women” other than his wife and who has done so for very many years with a big toothy grin brandishing his sexual prowess in the faces of the paparazzi and caring less what anyone else thought, the least of which, his own wife’ scroll down for video 'grotesque': donald sterling and his wife, rochelle, leave after having dinner together on sunday night court papers allege she knew of his 'grotesque' lifestyle of bedding other women the lawsuit is believed to be what is behind the leaking of a tape which sparked a firestorm on saturday on it, the clippers owner appears to go off on a racist rant in which he berated stiviano for being seen in public with black friends, including magic johnson the shocking clip set off a massive scandal, with current and former nba players like lebron james and charles barkley calling on the league to take immediate action against sterling the nba is investigating the claims and is set to make a decision within days and sponsors are starting to drop the team the papers, in which rochelle claims stiviano has been having sex with sterling since 2010 after they met at the super bowl, went on: ‘donald sterling has flaunted that grotesque lifestyle in front of and in his wife’s face for nearly their entire marriage of 50 years the person least fooled and least affected and least “robbed of her due” is rochelle sterling ‘at minimum, she has been complicit for over 50 years and, here, particularly, has “looked the other way” if not put hands over her mouth, covered her eyes and attempted to cover her ears further, this is not the “first rodeo” as the expression goes’ nehoray continued: ‘it is clear from past conduct, that mrs sterling has at a minimum, either “enabled” donald sterling to do, over and over again what he does, or that she approved of the varied and many gifts as described in the complaint ‘the “relationship” (whatever it may have been or not been) between donald sterling and v stiviano was open, notorious, obvious and long standing’ elsewhere in the papers, he said: ‘instead of chastising her philandering husband, let alone curtailing his carousing, mrs sterling seeks to punish (stiviano) who has done nothing wrong' despite appearing at the game on sunday night dressed all in black in an apparent show of solidarity with the la clippers players, rochelle went to eat at flemings steak house in el segundo afterwards with her husband of 57 years pictured for the first time since hate filled comments he allegedly made about african americans emerged on friday night, sterling, who did not attend last nights game, appeared relaxed as he was photographed, while his wife attempted to shield her face with her handbag according to the new york post, when a paparazzo asked 'are you a racist, mr sterling?' shelly screamed that it was all lies 'no, of course not!' she yelled 'forget it it's not true' just hours earlier however, she released a statement saying: 'our family is devastated by the racist comments made by my estranged husband 'my children and i do not share these despicable views or prejudice we will not let one man’s small mindedness poison the spirit of the fans and accomplishments of the team in the city we love' meanwhile, stiviano has gone to deny she is his girlfriend which is bizarre in light of what her lawyer said sources close to stiviano claimed she works in a purely professional capacity for sterling as his 'archivist' and spilts her time between the clippers and the teams official charity tape: vanessa stiviano, left, caused a firestorm when a tape she recorded of donald sterling making racist remarks were made public silence: vanessa stiviano talks on the phone while wearing a sun visor over her head that covers her eyes on sunday in california bizarre: despite stiviano's lawyer stating that the model wasn't sterling's 'first rodeo', she is now claiming she isn't his girlfriend it has now been claimed that sterling contacted stiviano to ask, 'how can we make this go away?' amid claims she has more than 100 hours of recordings, it has been reported sterling contacted stiviano on sunday and was told to contact her lawyer, tmz sports has now reported nehoray said sunday that the male voice heard on the 15 minute recording making incredibly offensive remarks to his client about african americans is definitely sterling's but the nba boss claimed stiviano released it in a bid to 'get even' with his wife because of the bitter lawsuit 'due to the present litigation and its absurd allegations, which ms stiviano vehemently denies, ms stiviano and this office have no comments at this time,' nehoray said in a statement to the newspaper listen to the rant here authentic: v stiviano's attorney mac nehoray said that the 15 minute recording definitely features sterling making incredibly offensive remarks to his client, pictured, about african americans in court documents filed march 7 by sterling's spouse of 50 years and the mother of his three children, rochelle sterling writes that her husband and stiviano who also goes by the aliases vanessa maria perez, monica gallegos, maria monica perez gallegos and maria valdez – first met in 2010 at the super bowl according to mrs sterling's lawsuit over the past four years, her husband used their commonly owned resources to buy his girlfriend a 2012 ferrari, a pair of bentleys and a 2013 range rover worth a total of more than $500,000 in additional to the high end vehicles, some of which are prominently featured on stiviano's instagram account documenting her high flying lifestyle, mr sterling also gifted her $14million to buy a duplex on west 4th street in los angeles and $240,000 for living expenses woman scorned: donald sterling's wife of 50 years, rochelle (pictured), filed a lawsuit in march against his girlfriend, vanessa stiviano, accusing her of using her feminine wiles to get her hands on their family money damning recording: donald sterling (center) can be heard telling his girlfriend v stiviano (to his right) not to bring black people to clippers games man eater: vanessa stiviano has been described by her rival as a calculating gold digger clowning around: stiviano posed last april in a red bikini and a clown nose sitting in a ferrari that sterling allegedly bought for her with family money life in the fast lane: according to rochelle sterling's lawsuit, besides the flashy 2012 ferrari, her husband gifted stiviano two bentleys and a range rover heartbreaker: the vanity plate on stiviano's red ferrari reads: 'v loves you' mrs sterling's lawsuit, which claims that her husband gave stiviano money and presents without her consent, seeks full restitution along with unspecified compensatory damages according to rochelle sterling, before she filed her complaint in court, donald sterling himself had asked stiviano to return the money and property, but the woman allegedly refused nehoray, presented a counter argument, claiming that a gift cannot be revoked by the giver – legalese for ‘no taksies backsies’ in a court filing, the lawyer also insisted that there is not ‘a peppercorn of a fact’ that his client committed any fraud or exercised undue influence nehoray added that nowhere in mrs sterling’s lawsuit does it say that ‘the feminine wiles of ms stiviano overpowered the iron will of’ donald sterling, ‘who is well known as one of the most shrewd businessmen in the world’

on the run: shortly after this picture was taken nasser ahmed fled the uk following a £156m fraud but now claims he keeps trying to hand himself in but the authorities won't take him home britain's second most wanted fraudster on the run after being convicted of a £156million tax scam claims he keeps trying to hand himself in but the government refuses to collect him nasser ahmed, 41, fled the country minutes before a jury found him guilty of defrauding hmrc and was sentenced to six years in jail as he boarded a plane to the middle east but after nine years on the run, ahmed wants to hand himself in after admitting 'life on the run isn't as glamorous as it seems' he says he has contacted the courts, british embassy, foreign office and even the hmrc 'most wanted' hotline but claims his pleas to face justice have been ignored he is unable to return to the uk under his own steam because he no longer holds a passport and it is understood he cannot apply for one because he is a wanted criminal hmrc say they would like him to return the uk, but have not been given clear guidance of his location, saying his family told them he was in pakistan, not the middle east as he claims sources also told mailonline that ahmed could hand himself in at the nearest british embassy speaking from a mystery location understood to be dubai ahmed said: 'i fled court because there were certain liabilities or commitments which would have put me in future problems 'i was 32 when it all happened and i took the decision to leave, but in time one realises life on the run isn't as glamorous as it may seem 'i want to fight now to show the businesses targeted were totally legitimate 'i would imagine i'm facing 12 to 18 months extra in prison at least but that is the way it is 'i'm happy to do that and i will be appealing if i ever get there' ahmed has contacted the british embassy in the country he is in, the foreign office in the uk and bristol crown court his lawyer has contacted hmrc the cash he pocketed from the staggering scam would have put him among the top 250 richest people and made him more wealthy at the time than david beckham ahmed fled justice at the end of a nine day trial at bristol crown court in february 2005 after he was found guilty of fraud and a warrant was issued for his arrest his scam centred around the illegal sale of computer chips which he bought in massive quantities from a company in luxembourg paying no vat between 2001 and 2005 he then sold them on to two companies in england for less than he paid for them but collected vat from the buyers which he did not pass on to the taxman during one seven week period, £500,000 went into his royal bank of scotland account every day and he had various offshore accounts, the court heard ahmed, from knowle, bristol, even brazenly continued to pass vast sums through his accounts while facing charges criminal: ahmed was last seen here at bristol crown court nine years ago he claims that he is in the middle east but recent hmrc intelligence says he is not a confiscation hearing held after an investigation into ahmed's finances was told although he was convicted of defrauding £800,000, he actually made £156million the most wanted fraudster the one to have cost the taxpayer the most is hussain asad chohan, 44 smuggler chohan, is wanted after failing to appear in court for his part in an estimated £200 million fraud in april 2006 among other offences, chohan imported 225 tonnes of hand rolling tobacco worth £750,000 in duty alone in in august 2000 chohan, from birmingham, was tried in absence and found guilty and was sentenced to 11 years in prison for smuggling and fraud offences and failing to appear in court along with his sentence chohan thought to be living in dubai was also served with a £33 million confiscation order after the trial, revenue and customs investigator chris ballard said: 'this was not some kind of advanced tax planning but organised fraud on a massive scale perpetrated by criminals bent on making fast and easy profits at the expense of the british taxpayer 'this was the theft of revenues needed to fund our country’s public services' last year the businessman's mugshot appeared on hmrc's most wanted list after intelligence confirmed he was in pakistan a few months ago ahmed now believed to be in dubai and his lawyer made steps to get the fraudster back to the uk but have been unable to because of his lack of passport he owes more than anyone else on the hmrc's latest most wanted gallery, released in august 2013 natasha murray, a solicitor from bcl burton copeland looking after his case, said: 'i think it's absolutely disgraceful 'apparently he is the second most wanted and they are desperate to track him down, but that doesn't seem to be what is happening 'it's just bizarre that they say this man owes millions and millions but they can't even be bothered to go and get him 'he has been away from his family and his wife for long enough now and wants to come back 'he's going to have to serve his time, but he understands that and is ready at least this way he will be able to see his family' ms murray would not confirm his current location and ahmed only said he lived 'somewhere in the middle east' ahmed is likely to have to serve the six years in prison handed to him at bristol crown court as well as further punishments for failing to pay a confiscation order and skipping bail nick mann, spokesperson for hmrc, said: 'hmrc has no objection to nasser ahmed returning to the uk but we have not been notified of any firm arrangements from either him or his solicitor in terms of his return 'we did speak with a solicitor representing the family earlier this year and said that we understood that mr ahmed was located in pakistan' fraudster nasser ahmed first contacted the authorities in march or april in a bid to get home he is married with children who are understood to still live in the uk

jack wilshere has backed new arsenal team mate danny welbeck to have a big impact for club and country this season welbeck joined the gunners on monday in a shock £16million move from manchester united with olivier giroud out for three months because of an ankle injury, welbeck is likely to be thrown straight into arsenal's first team and he may now start in england's euro 2016 qualifier in switzerland on monday after daniel sturridge suffered an injury in training video scroll down to watch jack wilshere: danny welbeck is a great signing for arsenal gunners: jack wilshere and new arsenal team mate danny welbeck train for england welbeck injected pace, invention and purpose into a dithering team upon his introduction against norway on wednesday night, which bodes well for england and arsenal, according to wilshere 'he is a great addition for arsenal and hopefully he will keep performing for england as well,' the arsenal midfielder said 'he has got great enthusiasm, he wants to run, he will track back, and he has got great quality 'a lot of people don't give him credit for his technical ability, but he is great on the ball i am sure there were a few clubs wanting him and there are not many players his age who move from one big club to another big club so that shows his quality' sturridge was sent for a scan after suffering an injury in training at st george's park on friday two days before the squad departs for switzerland transfer: danny welbeck joined arsenal from manchester united, and may go straight in to the side it was an injury scare roy hodgson could do without, especially after the negative backlash that followed england's uninspiring 1 0 win over the norwegians just 40,181 people turned up to watch the victory, which came courtesy of a wayne rooney penalty the 22 year old thinks england can start to win the fans back by beating the swiss in basle on monday night 'going over to switzerland is a tough game we know if we put in the performance and get the result the fans are going to come back on our side,' said wilshere, who thinks the negative reaction to england's winless world cup campaign has been over the top criticism: jack wilshere has been criticised by paul scholes and jamie redknapp for his performances 'if people analysed it a bit more they would have been a bit kinder, there were just a few individual errors and a few lapses in concentration, but at that level that is what you are going to get,' he added 'when you are playing against (mario) balotelli and (luis) suarez that is what you are going to get, they are going to punish you and they did 'but if you look at the games, we had more positives than people give us credit for' wilshere only started one game at the world cup the lifeless, miserable dead rubber against costa rica in belo horizonte but with steven gerrard and frank lampard now retired, he is one of the first names on the team sheet future: with frank lampard and steven gerrard retiring from international football, wilshere is the future many pundits, including ex internationals like paul scholes and jamie redknapp, have cast doubt on his ability recently, claiming he has not lived up to the hype that surrounded him when he made his england debut four years ago injury has hindered the 21 cap midfielder, but he says he is now almost back to peak fitness 'it is a big season for me i have never hid away from that,' wilshere added 'i have had a good pre season for the first time in a few years, i have trained every session, played in all but one of the games 'i feel good, i am getting stronger and stronger, i am getting near to where i want to be' wilshere knows he and jordan henderson, who wore the number four shirt vacated by gerrard on wednesday, have big shoes to fill 'obviously it's disappointing when steven and frank retired, they were massive players for england, over the last 10 years they were great ambassadors and that is the level me and jordan have got to get to,' wilshere said

the blond haired, blue eyed killer called out to the campers and asked them to come closer unsuspecting and trusting, they came over but when they did he killed them in a random and unprovoked attack according to one witness, he then shouted for them to come and said: 'it's safe to come out you'll be saved i'm a cop!' the gunman, who has been identified as anders breivik, 32, killed at least 80 people at an island summer youth camp north west of oslo on utoeya island massacre: rescue workers evacuate young people from the summer school meeting in utoeya his boots crunching along as he sought out his victims and wearing what appeared to be a police uniform, he shot at them twice to make sure they were dead one witness thorbjorn vereide, 22, said breivik first started shooting then persisted that it was safe for people to come out he said: 'we were 30 40 people standing together when he started shooting when he was done [with us] there were only five or six left of us' mr vereide then escaped to a nearby cave where he hid with a number of other youths 'people were seriously injured, lying all around us we didn't dare to go out of the cave, fearing that the gunman would discover our whereabouts,' he said to norwegian newspaper vg 'i've never lost anyone close before considering that, it's pretty dramatic to start off by losing 85 great friends' mr vereide described the assailant as very calm, as he made sure his victims were indeed dead by shooting them twice 'he just didn't seem to care,' he added one of breivik's victims, adrian pracon, who was shot in the shoulder as he lay face down, playing dead, said he heard the killer shouting about how everyone was going to die the 21 year old said: 'he yelled out that he was going to kill us all and that we must all die i started speculating and thinking this can't be real because norwegian people wouldn't attack norway' gunman: anders breivik has been arrested by police after the shooting in utoeya mr pracon also described how he could hear the blue eyed gunman's boots as he walked along the rocks and felt his breath moments before he shot him in the back 'i was lying on a rock, face down and i could hear him coming i could feel his breath 'as he approached, he shot at me to see if i was dead and fortunately i didn't move so he thought i was dead 'i was laying there for two hours, still healthy but very cold' before he was shot mr pracon said he had tried to escape the island by swimming into the ocean but only managed a short distance before deciding to turn back 'i jumped into the water like the rest of the people but i did not have time to take my clothes off and it had started to rain 'when i had swum about 100 metres i felt i had to turn back because i started to get very cold and felt i might meet a certain death' once he reached the shore he saw breivik who pointed his gun at him 'i screamed to him, please no please i didn't know if he didn't want to just kill me because i was one person or if he preferred to kill a group of people another teenager, aged 15, who took refuge in the village of sundvollen after the massacre said she stood just feet away from the gunman when he opened fire on the camp 'i saw many dead people,' said 15 year old elise the teenager said she had just come out from an information meeting in a nearby building when she heard gunshots tragic: a survivor of the shootings is comforted by a paramedic after the attack at the summer camp rescuers take away and injured person brought ashore from the camp site she saw a police officer and thought she was safe, but then he started shooting 'he first shot people on the island afterwards he started shooting people in the water,' she said elise said she hid behind the same rock that the killer was standing on 'i could hear his breathing from the top of the rock,' she said in panic, the girl phoned her parents, whispering to them what was going on 'they told me not to panic and that everything would be ok,' she saidher parents also told her to get rid of a brightly coloured jacket she was wearing to not draw attention to herself suspect: breivik is being questioned by police over the shootings she said it was impossible to say how many minutes passed while she was waiting for him to stop survivors described a scene of sheer terror at the camp, which is organised by the youth wing of norway's ruling labour party hundreds of young people were eagerly awaiting a speech the prime minister was to give there today police said the man arrested in the shooting is norwegian and had set off a bomb that killed seven people outside the prime minister's headquarters in oslo, about 20 miles from the camp several of the survivors seemed calm as anxious parents picked them up at a sundvollen hotel, but the stories they told were of utter terror dana berzingi said the fake police officer ordered people to come closer, then pulled weapons and ammunition from a bag and started shooting several victims 'had pretended as if they were dead to survive,' the 21 year old said but after shooting the victims with one gun, the gunman shot them again in the head with a shotgun, he said 'i lost several friends,' said mr berzingi, whose trousers were stained with blood he said he used the mobile phone of one of his fallen friends to call police emilie bersaas told sky news she ran inside a school building and hid under a bed when the shooting started 'at one point the shooting was very, very close (to) the building, i think actually it actually hit the building one time, and the people in the next room screamed very loud,' she said emergency: a helicopter hovers above the rescue area preparing to take victims of the attack to hospital 'i laid under the bed for two hours and then the police smashed a window and came in it seems kind of unreal, especially in norway this is not something that could happen here' another camper, niclas tokerud, stayed in touch with his sister through the attack through text messages 'he sent me a text saying 'there's been gunshots i am scared (expletive) but i am hiding and safe i love you,'' said nadia tokerud, a 25 year old graphic designer in hokksund, norway as he boarded a boat from the island after the danger had passed he sent one more text: 'i'm safe' an aerial view of utoeya island, norway, taken a day before the shootings

the number of employment tribunal claims lodged by staff against their company has plunged by more than half since fees were introduced in the summer leading law firm hugh james said the total fell from 17,153 in july to fewer than 7,500 in august, a drop of more than 55 per cent since the end of july, employees who want to lodge a claim against their firm have to pay fees of up to £1,200 before their case can be heard lord alan sugar (left) branded ex employee stella english (right) a 'money grabber' after she made a claim it is the first time there has been a charge on workers since tribunals were introduced in the 1960s employees with relatively simple grievances such as a dispute over rates of pay must stump up £160 to launch a claim and a further £230 for a tribunal hearing in claims for unfair dismissal, racial or sexual discrimination, or where employees say they have been sacked because of whistleblowing, they must hand over £250 to lodge the claim and a further £950 if the case goes ahead these sums are repaid if the employee wins the levies were introduced as part of measures announced by david cameron to curb the estimated £1billion a year in payouts to those who claim to have been wrongly dismissed or to have suffered discrimination they were brought in because of fears of a growing ‘claims culture’ of people going to tribunals in an attempt to extract large sums from their employers and threatening to smear their reputations lord sugar has warned that employees have been able to exploit the rules in order to blackmail small businesses to settle claims because they are often afraid of losing and being ordered to pay huge damages in april the peer launched a scathing attack on apprentice winner stella english after she lost a constructive dismissal case against him at the east london employment tribunal john mccririck claimed unfair dismissal against channel 4 after he was dismissed in favour of a younger presenting team headed by clare balding he branded 34 year old miss english a ‘money grabber’ and a ‘chancer’ and said the case was an ‘abuse of the tribunal system’ last month horse racing pundit john mccririck lost his £3million age discrimination case against channel 4 after a tribunal ruled that he was ‘unpalatable to a wider potential audience’ mccririck, 73, claimed he was sacked by the tv channel last year when it unveiled a new, younger presenting team headed by clare balding, 42 but the central london employment tribunal panel said that in its judgment mccririck’s ‘arrogant and confrontational’ style put off many viewers emma burns, head of employment law at hugh james, said businesses spend ‘considerable time and money’ defending themselves in claims launched by employees ‘drawn out workplace disputes that reach the tribunal can have a crippling financial effect on both businesses and workers,’ she added ‘employees now need to consider more carefully whether the cost of launching a claim against their employer or ex employer justifies the cost and risk of being unsuccessful ‘it may no longer be a good idea to make a speculative attempt to get money out of their employer’ unison, one of the biggest unions, is challenging the fees with the backing of the human rights commission it says the charges are contrary to european union law and will make it impossible for many workers to exercise their rights miss burns warned that if it succeeds in having them overturned, there could be a ‘sharp rise in employees pursuing litigation against their employers’ employers who lose a straightforward unfair dismissal case may have to pay a maximum of a year’s salary up to £74,000 but there is no limit in cases of racial or sexual discrimination or whistleblowing the number of claims surged in july ahead of the introduction of charges unions said the drop in claims is ‘worrying’ and that workers may have been deterred from bringing valid claims against unscrupulous employers sarah veale, head of employment rights at the tuc, said: ‘it is very worrying that this christmas a number of employees who may have been appallingly treated at work won’t be able to have this tested in court because they can’t afford to risk paying the fee and not getting the money back if they lose’

the questions start now, even before radamel falcao pulls up a seat at the british consulate in miami to take the interview necessary for his uk working visa those loose ends need to be tied for the colombian to earn his wonderful living as a manchester united player but then the real examinations start the test of his reconstructed knee after a terrible injury; the test of his abilities after a season spent between treatment room and the fields of a lesser competition; the test of his commitment within a week of that ‘hala madrid’ tweet all being well, he will take his significant bag of tricks onto the field for colombia against brazil in the sun life stadium in miami on friday night video scroll down for falcao and rodriguez practice one twos in colombia training international duty: falcao is expected to start for colombia against brazil in miami on friday night superstar: falcao is mobbed by fans on international duty this week with colombia reacquainted: falcao gets a hug from former monaco team mate james rodriguez during colombia training porto: 87 games, 72 goals atletico madrid: 91 games, 87 goals monaco: 22 games, 13 goals overall: 200 games, 172 goals united have already seen one expensive signing excel in an international friendly this week, angel di maria taking a stride in answering those who feel this £60m signing was a luxury the club could do without he was magnificent, his outside of the boot assist for sergio aguero in argentina’s 4 2 win over germany the work of a rare talent he had two other assists and a goal on wednesday so, over to falcao, a man who cost £6m to rent from monaco for a year, whose salary comes to £280,000 a week the hope at old trafford is that the formalities with his visa will enable a debut against qpr on september 14 at his best, he is a striker who might just make up for the obvious defensive and midfield deficiencies in the united squad conceding three doesn’t matter if you score four, and all that his record in front of goal is brilliant injury lay off: falcao missed the world cup with a cruciate knee ligament injury at river plate – 45 goals in 105 games; at porto – 72 in 87; at atletico madrid 70 in 91; at monaco 13 in 22 for colombia he has 20 goals from 51 games they are fantastic numbers, those of a wrecking ball in front of goal they compensate for his slight lack of a wider contribution – he has assisted only 12 goals for team mates since moving to europe in 2009, a period in which he has scored 155 in 200 games so goals will be the main measure of his success at united and to do that, his left knee will need to be strong for all the excitement about the player united have signed, it must be set against a record of only two starts since he tore his anterior cruciate ligament in january will he still have that acceleration, that agility to twist and turn before finishing? early days: falcao made his name at river plate in argentina before moving to europe it is not an ideal backdrop to his first major role at one of the world’s truly elite clubs, even if united have seen far better days it goes without saying that his record at atletico, his only spell in a major league, was all the more remarkable because he lacked the support that cristiano ronaldo and lionel messi enjoy but with a bigger club comes bigger pressures, not least when falcao is seen as one of the major players responsible for getting united out of the incredible hole they dug and how committed is he to that cause? how frustrated is he that he won’t be part of the real madrid side defending their champions league crown, a competition in which falcao has not appeared since 2010? five days ago he tweeted it was a ‘dream come true’ to join real his father, radamel garcia, explained: ‘the deal with real madrid did not happen because if you have money and you go to the market to buy a shirt or a pair of trousers, you have to decide whether to buy it or not making a splash: falcao was prolific during his two years at porto kicking on: the colombian continued his outstanding goalscoring form at atletico madrid short stay: falcao spent only one season at monaco before joining manchester united this week ‘real madrid chose not to i don’t know, i have the feeling they wanted the player for free with a number of conditions in any case, they bought the trousers and shirt they wanted and they considered that to be better we have to accept it’ it all leaves plenty of questions another surrounds the decisions next summer, when falcao will be 29 it will be interesting to see if united then see worth in a deeper investment, or if their top four aims have been achieved via this short term project so much will be learned in the coming weeks if falcao is over his injury, his real disappointment and can adapt to the biggest pressure of his career, manchester united might just have signed the best out and out striker in football and what a coup that would be he needs his visa first the following stats are based on 2013 14 domestic league seasons: diego costa 35 games 27 goals 10963 mins per goal luis suarez 33 games 31 goals 9561 mins per goal stellar season: luis suarez earned a £75m move to barcelona by scoring 31 goals for liverpool robert lewandowski 33 games 20 goals 14005 mins per goal lionel messi 31 games 28 goals 8943 mins per goal thomas muller 31 games 13 goals 16669 mins per goal different role: muller scored five goals at the world cup but plays deeper for bayern munich cristiano ronaldo 30 games 31 goals 8194 mins per goal neymar 26 games 9 goals 19322 mins per goal sergio aguero 23 games 17 goals 9053 mins per goal proven record: aguero has the best goals to games ratio in premier league history robin van persie 21 games 12 goals 132 mins per goal radamel falcao 17 games 9 goals 15478 mins per goal

separate surveillance footage from a store that afternoon, hiawayi could be seen buying candy and then heading in the direction where the suv was seen fifteen minutes after she left the store, her father called her grandmother to see where the little girl was, authorities said plea: after she vanished, her father, pictured, appeared on local tv stations pleading for her safe return during a later search of his girlfriend's car, police found a clear hair bead, like those worn by hiawayi, and black duct tape, alcom reported after she was reported missing, the authorities and the community searched for her, and her parents, who are separated, appeared on television to appeal for information 'i'm going through pain,' robinson told fox10 as he stood beside her mother, yosha populus 'i've been up for the last 24 hours, i've been up all night searching for her ain't had anything to eat, anything to drink, i ain't going to stop until it's over with until she's in her home that's all i want, that's all i ask for' when asked what he thought might have happened to her, he said: 'nothing' 'i don't believe nothing happened to her,' he said 'i believe she's out there she's out there they just need to let her come home her daddy gonna find out what the f*** going on' rap sheet: robinson has had multiple arrests including in july 2000 (left) for possession of marijuana and attempting to elude police and in 2011 (right) for possession of marijuana her mother also pleaded for information as she stood beside the girl's father after the arrest was announced, populus's godfather, kourney adams, told alcom: 'she's been praying it wouldn't be him' but he added that they were thankful that finally someone has been arrested 'we thought they had given up,' he said 'thank you to the fbi and the mobile and the city of prichard for doing their job' if robinson is found guilty of all current charges against him jurors would be unable to hand him the death penalty as he has not been charged

authorities confirmed on thursday that the bodies of a man and woman found at a suburban dallas home are those of the parents of a 10 year old boy found dead in a bathtub at the house in january — a death for which the mother was charged with murder the collin county medical examiner confirmed that the bodies found wednesday are those of sumeet dhawan, 43, and pallavi dhawan, 39, frisco police said in a statement police have not said if the death might have been caused by suicide or murder suicide pallavi dhawan had been free on $50,000 bond after frisco police charged her with murder in the death of the dhawans' son, arnav a medical examiner's report had said a natural cause was the most likely cause of the child's death however, police had said pallavi dhawan had confessed to killing the boy — something the family's attorney, david finn of dallas, has strenuously denied scroll down for video found dead: the dallas home where a 10 year old boy was found dead in january and whose parents were found dead on wednesday all dead: the collin county medical examiner confirmed that the bodies found wednesday are those of sumeet dhawan, 43, and pallavi dhawan, 39, the parents of arnav who died in january officers had found pallavi dhawan's body in the family's backyard pool and sumeet dhawan's body in the house police are not saying how they died, and finn said he had not been told if any marks were found on their bodies assistant police chief darren stevens said the department has been in contact with the extended dhawan family 'and are doing everything possible to keep them informed over the course of this investigation' officers had found arnav's body on jan 29 while making a welfare check at the house he was wrapped in a cloth up to the neck, and there were empty plastic bags in the tub next to him a police affidavit says sumeet dhawan told investigators that his wife was having mental health issues and that they had been having marital problems since pallavi dhawan's release on bond, finn had expressed impatience with the police handling of their investigation in light of the medical examiner's findings finn has said that arnav was a special needs child, born with a brain cyst and microcephaly, a condition characterized by an abnormally small head, which could have factored in his death the scene: frisco fire and police department officials cover back gate as they investigate the scene at the home of pallavi and sumeet dhawan, where a woman's body was found in the pool and another in the house on thursday, however, finn acknowledged: 'i'm not sure that we'll ever know what happened' finn said he had been in contact with sumeet dhawan's relatives, who hope to send the bodies back to india for cremation in accordance with hindu tradition it's not clear if the bodies are in a condition suitable for the trip if they aren't, 'they'll be cremated and the ashes sent back to india,' finn said fox reports that the couple's attorney david finn said that pallavi's mother had contacted him from india to ask him to help in bringing pallavi's and sumeet's remains home for cremation finn said that he spoke with the couple days before their death and that he didn't notice any changes in behavior however, he did say that pallavi was under great stress during the investigation and that sumeet told frisco police that his wife had been depressed perhaps suicidal pallavi wanted to travel to a city in india to pray for her dead son but she was unable to get a passport due to her pending criminal case mourning: arnav's parents, pictured months ago, wanted to be able to travel to india to honor their son but pallavi was unable to get a passport 'that's where it's believed that, if you go to only these specific cities, those are the preeminent spots, and if you do it for your loved ones, they'll get peace, sumeet told fox in february fox spoke with smu theology professor robert hunt about the cultural importance of honoring the dead and about times when the hindu religion allows for suicide 'it's not only critically important as they think hopefully about the soul of the departed person, but this becomes a dangerous entity in a sense for the family, and to a certain extent brings an amount of shame and guilt to the family in terms of their wider relations,' said robert hunt 'the very fact of being charged, the very fact of having an investigation go to a grand jury can being a deep sense of guilt and shame that, for an american, isn't going to be the first thing that happens,' said hunt he said that the hindu belief generally rejects suicide but in some cases relating to great injustice, suicide if forgivable or even the right thing to do 'generally speaking, the cause of it, or the ostensible cause of it, is, and what makes it right, i should say, is that it calls attention to a grave injustice,' said hunter 'it becomes the only way that a completely powerless person can say, ‘this is unjust'” charged: pallavi dhawan, now dead, was a suburban dallas mother, charged with murdering her 10 year old son arnav dhawan mystery: even though arnav's mother was charged with his murder, it is likely he died of natural causes

strung between the palm trees in the middle of avenido lusico costa was a crude, home made banner black spray paint on what appeared to be a white sheet ‘luisito — uruguay te apoya,’ it read ‘little luis — uruguay supports you’ and it does the uruguayan team arrived at their beachfront home in barra de tijuca, to the west of rio de janeiro, on thursday night to a hero’s welcome little luis may be the big villain of this world cup in the eyes of many, but critical and ethical faculties have been suspended in his homeland the fans that congregated around the team bus were unequivocal ‘fifa is corrupt,’ they chanted ‘fifa does not play football, but destroys it’ video scroll down for maradona on suarez ban: we can't keep retrospectively banning back home: luis suarez waves to supporters from the balcony of his house in solymar shock wave: suarez and his children greet supporters message of support: diego maradona has publicly backed suarez in light of his four month bite ban munh: uruguay's suarez was caught (left) biting italy's giorgio chiellini (right) in tuesday's world cup clash on the copacabana strip an adidas advert that shows suarez, teeth bared like a ferocious animal, is attracting a line of pictorial comedians — posing circus style with their heads in the lion’s mouth yet, for uruguay, the banishment of suarez is a disgrace, not a comic caption on facebook arriving in barra the captain, diego lugano, was taken almost immediately to the hotel’s gym, where he met that other noted arbiter of fair play, diego maradona the pair enjoyed a long and animated conversation, in spanish, for the benefit of the television network covering maradona’s trip telesur is a venezuelan company based in caracas do your own jokes, you know you want to the television screens high on the wall had suarez’s clash with giorgio chiellini of italy on an almost constant loop, interspersed with the most telegenic outrages of world cups past horrific tackles, spitting at the referee, flying elbows and a torrent of red cards and redder mists were edited into a giant ball of malcontent yet it all kept coming back to one man, now close to quarantined back home in uruguay, considering his next move maradona was flat on his back lifting weights when lugano entered, but on sighting the captain he clambered to his feet to offer warm and effusive congratulations for sticking up for suarez in public glum faced: suarez will miss uruguay's next nine matches and can't play for liverpool again until october 26 video suarez persecuted by media lugano there was no doubt where maradona also stood, having made his feelings plain by going on air to present his television show de zurda — it means ‘the lefty’ — wearing a t shirt with the message ‘luisito estamos con vos’ (‘little luis, we are with you’) the pair began to talk for the telesur cameras and it was clear this was going to be no rigorous inspection of moral standards and the boundaries of professional behaviour ‘they treated him like a criminal,’ said lugano ‘escorted out of our camp by the police he did nothing why wouldn’t i defend him at that press conference? he’s such a great guy and this ban is very harsh ‘it hits him at the very top of his level, at the best moment in his career it is a very sad time for uruguay and for luis’ lugano added that he hoped the team could grow stronger through adversity and with the support of the people ‘i don’t understand it,’ maradona told him ‘the whole world was waiting to see suarez at this world cup he had scored 31 goals in england last season’ they then agreed that he had been banned only due to historical stuff that this ancient history was two previous offences for the same crime seemed of little import ‘this is the most important moment in luis’s life,’ lugano concluded if he meant that he had to now choose one path, glory or infamy, therefore introducing the first tiny concession that behind this furore was a basically contemptible act that could never be repeated, he left the thought unsaid national hero: suarez was greeted by hundreds of uruguays after his early exit from brazil fervent fans: suarez supporters gather at carrasco international airport to welcome their hero home they parted with a hug of pure simpatico, as it is called in these parts; both victims, in their own minds at least, of terrible injustice it has not taken long for maradona — still bitter over his expulsion from the 1994 world cup for drug offences — to identify with suarez, whom he sees as another renegade genius living beyond fifa’s margins speaking earlier on his show, maradona compared fifa’s punishment to sending suarez to guantanamo bay in handcuffs ‘the fifa sanction is shameful,’ he said ‘it is a way of punishing uruguayan clubs for asking the south american federation for a fairer share of money it hurts that they have cut short the career of a lad who is a winner it’s an excessive suspension and fifa cannot talk about morals to anyone ‘a player works hard the whole year to be able to play at the world cup and they kick him out like this it’s unbelievable ‘remember zinedine zidane and what he did in the 2006 world cup final? fifa then gave him the golden ball in this world cup there have been much greater incidents than suarez’s he didn’t kill anyone this is an unjust punishment, the act of an incredible mafia’ maradona’s guest was uruguayan president jose mujica, who had earlier made a wasted journey to carrasco international airport outside montevideo, where suarez was expected to return that the head of state should wish to welcome home a footballer ejected from the world cup for biting an opponent affords some insight into the skewed uruguayan mentality over this mujica looks like a much loved grandpa and has modern, liberal, left wing views on gay marriage, abortion and wealth distribution, but he knows how to work a crowd, too home support: a uruguayan displays a banner reading: 'fifa corrupt we support you luisito' biting wit: tourists joke in front of an advert on the copacabana he gives 90 per cent of his salary to charity and has refused to move from a one bedroom farmhouse to the palace that comes with his office this makes him one of the most enlightened political leaders on any continent, but not immune to the odd act of pure populism the gathering at carrasco airport included fans with banners and large cardboard cut outs of suarez’s face, some with false vampire teeth, celebrating an act that should provoke only revulsion mujica instinctively knew on which side his bread was buttered ‘we feel that this is an assault on the poor,’ mujica said ‘this gang will not forgive suarez because he never went to university, he isn’t educated, he grew up on the field, he is a natural rebel and expresses his anger naturally ‘we have seen all the games and this is a different punishment this is the most indignant punishment here they add everything together but the boy really shouldn’t be blamed it’s a match and these things happen there’s no need to look into every incident, because if we did that in each game we’d play five a side’ iconic figure: suarez has become one of the lasting memories of this world cup leaving a mark: a young suarez fan poses with vampire teeth at carrasco international airport of course, there are plenty of working class people in latin america who go through a considerably more impoverished life than suarez is experiencing without biting anybody, but uruguay is in no mood for logic or social realism right now they are the victims here, the tiny nation of three million — ‘tres miliones de ilusiones… vamos uruguay!’ it says on the team bus, which translates as ‘three million dreams … let’s go uruguay’ — that has been conspired against by the superpowers of england, italy and fifa do they have a point? not really there is no way fifa could look at this incident in isolation, considering the recidivism in suarez’s behaviour, meaning wider comparisons are inappropriate yet they are being made, constantly one debate concerns the case of josip simunic of croatia, banned for 10 international games — but not from all football — for using the nazi inspired ‘za dom spremni!’ chant after croatia’s win over iceland ‘not as bad as suarez?’ it was asked on brazilian television yet equivalency can be used to pick holes in any sanction: certainly when, to the banner wavers, the apologists and suarez simpaticos, the only correct punishment is no punishment at all

secretary of defense chuck hagel said wednesday that the problem of 'foreign fighters' aiding the self proclaimed islamic state of iraq and al sham (isis) includes far more americans than has been previously reported – at least 100 and counting 'we have acknowledged publicly we are aware of over 100 us citizens who have us passports who are fighting in the middle east with isil forces,' he said during a televised interview 'there may be more we don't know' earlier estimates had only about a dozen so called 'foreign fighters' from the united states scattered across the middle east in isis army units scroll down for videos chuck hagel said more than 100 americans are fighting in the middle east alongside isis militants, a dramatic uptick from previous estimates of about a dozen foreign fighter: abdirahmaan muhumed, pictured in syria, was killed while fighting for isis he had access to planes at minneapolis st paul international airport before he joined the islamist terror group a few have been killed on the battlefield, including 29 year old somali american abdirahmaan muhumed, was employed cleaning jetliners for delta airlines before he left the us to fight for the terror group another, douglas mcarthur mccain, was killed in syria weeks ago it emerged later that he was a close friend of another foreign fighter, troy kastigar, who was killed in 2009 after joining the al shabab terror network in somalia all three hailed from the minneapolis, minnesota area, in an area with a concentrated muslim population and at least one mosque tied to radical anti american ideology the new york times reported six days ago that according to american intelligence and law enforcement agencies, 'nearly a dozen americans' had traveled to syria to fight for isis the economist magazine put the number at 70 on tuesday, citing a mishmash of statistics from the international monetary fund, the london based international centre for the study of radicalisation and political violence, and the new york based soufan group but hard numbers have been hard to come by, and hagel's admission sheds new light on the size of the problem us officials have warned that americans who could use their passports to bring the isis fight back home pose one of the greatest homeland security threats to the united states since the 9/11 al qaeda attacks in 2001 speaking tuesday at the white house, obama's chief spokesman said that the us officials 'have been focused on countering the threat' for months 'the department of state in march appointed ambassador robert bradtke as senior adviser for partner engagement on syria foreign fighters,' white house press secretary josh earnest told reporters 'so there’s been an intensive diplomatic effort to coordinate our efforts to confront and mitigate this threat there’s been significant operational collaboration between dhs, fbi and all of their foreign counterparts, including interpol, on this effort president obama drew criticism wednesday in estonia for backing off of his resolve to 'destroy' isis with a weaker pledge to make it 'manageable' douglas mcarthur mccain (left), who died fighting for isis in syria this year, was a high school pal of troy kastigar (right), who died fighting for al shabab in somalia in 2009 hagel said wednesday that with so many american passport holders able to re enter the us after joining the isis jihad, 'we can't take a chance on saying, 'well, let's technically define this is it a real threat today or tomorrow?'' he reiterated the resolve of us officials including president barack obama and secretary of state john kerry to wipe the islamist terror group off the map america's mission in iraq, hagel said on cnn, is 'not 'contain' it’s exactly what the president said: 'degrade and destroy'' obama caught flak on wednesday morning in estonia for waffling between hard line and soft pedal positions on the islamist group that has cut a wide and deadly swath through massive portions of eastern syria and northern iraq the primary us objective 'is to degrade and destroy' isis 'so that it’s no longer a threat not just to iraq but also the region and to the united states,' the president said during a press conference but minutes later he said a successful american effort in the region would 'shrink' the group's 'sphere of influence, its effectiveness, its financing, its military capabilities to the point where it is a manageable problem' obama arrived at raf fairford in gloucestershire, england on wednesday ahead of a nato summit the president was greeted by an american entourage led by us ambassador to the uk matthew barzun missouri republican sen roy blunt was among the lawmakers who lashed out later in the day 'terrorists who behead americans are not 'manageable,' blunt said in a statement 'they must be stopped, and we need president obama to communicate a clear strategy and goals on how he plans to eliminate this threat' hagel, meanwhile, clung to obama's first statement while ignoring the second 'you've got to destroy it,' he said of isis, 'because if we don't destroy it, it will get worse' the soft spoken defense secretary stopped short of offering any guarantees, however 'vows are something beyond my mortal capacity of doing,' he said 'we will do everything possible that we can do to destroy their capacity to inflict harm on our people and western values and our interests' the pentagon will achieve the white house's strategic objectives, hagel explained, by cooking up a menu of tactical options for obama to choose from steven sotloff (left) was beheaded in a gruesome video distributed by isis this week, following a heart rending videotaped appeal to the terror group's leaders last week from his mother (right) 'our mission,' he said, 'is to provide him those options and those plans to accomplish the mission of 'destroy and degrade' the capability of isis' and speaking of the growing number of americans who have taken up arms against us interests and allies in the middle east, he conceded that 'this crowd is a dangerous crowd' 'this crowd is as dangerous a group of people – beyond just terrorists – they are an army,' he said, 'marrying this with an ideology and a capacity to do things' 'they control half of iraq today they control half of syria today we better be taking them seriously' obama will lead a un security council meeting this month devoted to the question of how to handle foreign fighters and whether to restrict their movements british prime minister david cameron has called for new anti terrorism powers to limit their access to the uk and determine where they can and can't go kerry said earlier in the day that american might would pursue the killers of two american journalists whose beheadings were captured on video and spread globally through social media '[t]hose who have murdered james foley and steven sotloff in syria,' he vowed, 'should know that the united states will hold them accountable too, no matter how long it takes'

eight year old harry flynn is a lifesaver to his little sister isabelle after giving her the kiss of life a staggering 22 times little isabelle, aged two, was born 12 weeks early and suffers with a condition called apnoea of prematurity, which makes her stop breathing without warning but quick thinking harry has learned how to perform mouth to mouth resuscitation at the red cross teddy bears club and regularly steps in to keep his sister alive lifesaver: harry flynn is pictured with his little sister isabelle who suffers with apnoea, a condition which stops her breathing suddenly and without any warning he learned the technique at red cross kids¿ club harry has performed mouth to mouth resuscitation on her while watching tv, during visits to the supermarket and on family days out proud maria says she has 'no doubt' her little daughter would have died had it not been for her big brother harry first came to the rescue when the family were watching television and isabelle cried out before turning blue and falling unconscious maria, 37, said: 'it all happened so fast and we were just thinking ‘oh my god, what’s happening’ 'she just turned blue, then purple, and she was unconscious she was out cold but harry was so cool and calm he just tapped her leg and called her name and when he got no response he just gave her two breaths and she came round and took an enormous breath 'we couldn’t believe what we had just seen' harry has performed mouth to mouth resuscitation on his sister while watching tv, on family days out and even during visits to the supermarket isabelle weighed just 2lbs when she was born at just 28 weeks and was in hospital for 10 weeks before she was able to come home, weighing just 5lbs she used to stop breathing a couple of times a week but now has an episode around once a month, although doctors say she will eventually grow out of the condition apnoea of prematurity is the absence of spontaneous respiration it tends to occur in premature babies and occurs because the baby’s central nervous system is not fully developed when they are born most babies can be roused from an apnoea episode simply by tapping or rubbing them to make them more alert, and most grow out of the condition as their body grows and develops although apnoea usually resolves itself by the time most premature babies go home, a few will continue to have episodes in these cases, the baby will be discharged from the intensive care with an apnoea monitor the child may also need to take caffeine medication for a short time harry learned his life saving skills at the red cross teddy bears a youth club he has attended every week since he was five years old he has saved his sister’s life in supermarkets, out on family trips and even dashes into her bedroom to revive her in her cot if she stops breathing in the middle of the night isabelle has a sensor in her mattress that monitors her breathing and sounds an alarm if she stops breathing 'harry is always there first,' said maria 'he gets to her so fast and he is just so good at it 'he is so calm and collected and mature beyond his years he’s amazing our own hero' harry has also trained sister molly, five, how to revive their little sister in case she ever stops breathing while he or his mum are not around full time mum maria, who is also a red cross volunteer, said: “once she stopped breathing while we were out shopping in lidl 'before i knew it he had her up out of the trolley, he had to squat down on his knees and held her across his knees giving her breaths he had to do it about six times 'i have no doubt she would have died if it were not for harry harry is pictured with his sister molly, 5, (right) and isabelle, 2 he has also trained molly how to revive their little sister in case she ever stops breathing if he or his mother are not nearby harry said: 'in the night time, when i hear the [special breathing] alarm go off i run to isabelle's room and shake her cot and then do a few breaths i just like to help her' 'they have a really special bond he absolutely idolises her and dotes on her he’s a little mother hen really' but modest harry who says he 'just likes to help' played down his hero status 'the first time we were just watching telly and isabelle went all blue and purple on her face,' he said 'she stopped breathing i tapped her on the foot twice and did two breaths and she came back apnoea of prematurity is the absence of spontaneous respiration it tends to occur in premature babies and occurs because the baby’s central nervous system is not fully developed when they are born most babies can be roused from an apnoea episode simply by tapping or rubbing them to make them more alert, and most grow out of the condition as their body

intensive care with an apnoea monitor the child may also need to take caffeine medication for a short time 'it was a little bit frightening at first but i know what to do' the toddler most recently stopped breathing last monday her second birthday when the family were out at the amusements 'she was in a little car and she didn’t want to get out so she started crying and then she held her breath in and she went,” he harry, of waterford, ireland 'i just shook her and gave her some breaths in her mouth 'in the night time when i hear the alarm i run to her room and shake her cot and then do a few breaths i just like to help her' staff at the irish red cross which runs the teddybears club said they were very proud of harry’s heroic actions darren ryan, chairman of the irish red cross youth working group, added: 'it is extremely important to see that the courses that we provide, to our youth members and to the public, are effective in that they benefit the wider community 'harry’s heroic actions show that first aid training for young people really can make a difference it also shows the capability of our youth members 'we couldn’t be prouder of harry and his story strengthens the irish red cross belief that it is imperative that we offer this kind of training to young people' apnoea is the absence of spontaneous respiration when it happens in premature babies it is called apnoea of prematurity and can happen because the baby’s central nervous system is not fully developed when they are born most babies can be roused from an apnoea episode simply by tapping or rubbing them to make them more alert, and will grow out of it as their body grows

it was on october 1, 1996 that a relatively unknown frenchman called arsene wenger was unveiled at highbury as the new manager of arsenal his appointment was, it's fair to say, greeted with a mixture of bemusement and incredulity one newspaper ran the back page headline 'arsene who?' but little did we know then that wenger's arrival would herald the start of one of the most glorious chapters in the club's history in the 18 years since, he has delivered three premier league titles, five fa cups and reached a champions league final to commemorate the anniversary, here's our rundown in no particular order of the greatest players of the wenger era dennis bergkamp dennis bergkamp scores against leicester at highbury in the premier league the dutch master was already at highbury when wenger arrived but the frenchman transformed him into an influential forward bergkamp contributed memorable goals who can forget that hat trick at leicester city or the pirouette at newcastle and was excellent for a decade, scoring 120 goals in 423 matches thierry henry thierry henry scores a penalty for arsenal against charlton during his first spell at the club the frenchman had played under wenger at monaco and they were reunited for £11m in august 1999 henry quickly established himself as a world class forward and a club legend, scoring 92 goals and powering them to the premier league title in 2002 and 2004 he was also voted pfa players' player of the year in consecutive years patrick vieira patrick vieira avoids the challenge of valencia's pablo aimar during a champions league game wenger's enforcer through the glory years, vieira is undoubtedly one of the best midfielders of modern times and has won pretty much every trophy on offer he was a man who never shirked a tackle and inspired arsenal to victory in countless important games during his nine ever present seasons nicolas anelka nicolas anelka scores arsenal's third goal against manchester united in the charity shield considering anelka joined as a 17 year old for just £500,000, his return of 28 goals, the premier league and the fa cup isn't at all bad though his time at highbury was short lived, and included a few little dramas, he was a prolific scorer at the time for the gunners emmanuel petit french midfielder emmanuel petit powers past two dynamo kiev defenders in the champions league another man who played under wenger at monaco, midfielder petit arrived for £25m in june 1997 that proved a bargain as his consistent performances helped arsenal win the double in 1998 and he formed a formidable partnership with vieira marc overmars marc overmars avoids a challenge from chelsea's didier deschamps during a premier league game in 1999 the scarily fast dutch winger was a key member of the double winning side and memorably scored the crucial goal at old trafford that turned the tide in the title race he contributed 40 goals in all for the gunners not bad for a winger and left innumerable full backs terrified at the thought of facing him tony adams tony adams and arsene wenger celebrate winning the premier league in 1998 stalwart adams was already part of the furniture at highbury long before wenger arrived but the manager got five more seasons out of the 30 year old he captained the team to doubles in 1998 and 2002, sealing his legendary status at the club he represented with distinction in a career spanning three decades martin keown martin keown beats ruud van nistelrooy to the ball during a defeat against manchester united another pillar in that formidable nineties arsenal back line, keown was actually largely out of favour during the 1998 double season, playing only 18 times in the league but he soon regained his place and was integral for a few more seasons, signing off with a title winners' medal as part of the invincibles team lauren right back lauren was described by arsene wenger as his greatest ever signing the versatile cameroonian was one of wenger's most under rated but valuable signings, arriving for £72m in the summer of 2000 after taking a little time to find his place in the team, lauren became an indispensible part of both the 2002 double winners and the invincibles david seaman david seaman was a stalwart for arsene wenger's sides during the 1990s and early 2000s long established as arsenal's no 1, wenger rightly saw no reason to remove seaman when he arrived at the club the keeper continued to excel, and was vital in all the gunners' triumphs during the early wenger era he was capable of making seemingly impossible saves, notably the one to keep out paul peschisolido's header against sheffield united in the 2003 fa cup semi final aaron ramsey aaron ramsey has recovered from a serious injury to become one of arsenal's most important players it's only right to include a member of the successful team wenger is currently trying to mould at arsenal and ramsey would certainly be the choice of many the welshman has really kicked on over the last two seasons, scoring a lot of goals and turning in consistently influential displays he was the club's player of the season in 2013 2014 and capped it with the winning goal in the fa cup final, ending the club's embarrassing nine year trophy drought cesc fabregas cesc fabregas left barcelona for arsenal and then returned to spain in 2011 one of wenger's biggest success stories, taking a rough diamond of a 16 year old from barcelona and turning him into a dynamic midfielder and club captain fabregas had the spanish flair and the grit required to succeed in the premier league and arsenal were sorry to see him return home in 2011 ashley cole ashely cole established himself as one of the best left backs in the world at arsenal before leaving in 2006 the youth graduate who became the best left back in the world, cole may have been more successful at chelsea but he was made at arsenal he won the premier league twice and the fa cup three times, making 228 first team appearances in all his rampaging runs down the left side and crossing, not to mention his tireless defensive work, were vital during the invincibles season robert pires french midfielder robert pires holds of tottenham's robbie keane during a london derby in 2006 arsenal fought off competition from real madrid and juventus to sign the elegant french attacker pires and he was worth it imperious during the 2001 2002 double season, he created more goals than anyone else in the league his polished technique, passing and finishing skills were also very much in evidence during the invincible years robin van persie the sight of robin van persie celebrating was a familiar one during his eight seasons at arsenal one of the most prolific strikers of the wenger era, van persie scored 132 goals in 277 matches during his eight seasons at the club arriving from feyenoord in 2004 for a mere £275m, the dutchman wasted little time in showing his predatory instinct and was particularly impressive in the 2008 2009 (20 goals) and 2011 2012 (37) seasons sol campbell signed on a free transfer from tottenham, sol campbell went onto become a legend at arsenal his transfer from rivals spurs in 2001 certainly ruffled a few feathers but campbell dispelled all criticism by winning the premier league and fa cup in his first season a natural successor to the retiring adams and keown, campbell produced regular commanding performances at the heart of the arsenal defence freddie ljungberg freddie ljungberg scores for arsenal against panathinaikos in the champions league in 2004 his £3m fee back in 1998 was a swedish record but it proved a bargain for wenger ljungberg scored and created many important goals during the double season and filled many roles across the midfield and in attack he made in excess of 300 appearances for the club, winning two league titles and three fa cups ray parlour ray parlour is tackled by toony taggart of barnet during a pre season friendly the ultimate 'unsung hero', parlour put in scores of pivotal performances for wenger's teams he stunned chelsea with a 30 yard goal in the 2002 fa cup final and captained the side to a 5 1 win over inter milan in the san siro he made 339 league appearances for the club between 1992 and 2004 like our arsenal facebook page video wenger celebrates 18 years at arsenal pascal cygan signed in

booby trapped soviet weapon caches which date back to the cold war are probably still buried across britain, a top historian has claimed professor christopher andrew, an expert on the history of the intelligence services, made the claim after a secret archive released today revealed the location of several arms dumps across europe soviet spies dug the stores under trees and farmland near major cities, and filled them with small arms and communications devices in case undercover agents needed to defend themselves treasure hunt: soviet weapons caches just outside rome, italy, are detailed in the mitrokhin archive, parts of which have been revealed for the first time today an expert said there are bound to be similar stores in britain their existence is detailed in the mitrokhin archive, a collection of thousands of soviet intelligence documents compiled by a defector and made public for the first time today disillusioned kgb major vasili mitrokhin amassed the collection over more than a decade before walking into the british embassy in latvia in 1992 shortly after the fall of the soviet union defector: kgb major vasili mitrokhin walked into the british embassy in latvia with a vast trove of files those who saw him said he looked like a homeless man and he had buried the files, described as one of the greatest hauls in british history, under dirty underwear in his suitcase in the notes stored at cambridge's churchill archives centre, mitrokhin who died in 2004 described the locations in incredible detail along with booby traps describing a stash near berne, switzerland, he wrote directions to a chapel near a farm and added: 'after taking 36 steps, you will be at the point between two large leafy trees, the only ones in the sector 'the distance between the trees is three paces the area between the trees has been used for the cache' a map included in the archive pinpointed three sites, named kollo, fosso and bor, around rome and another note provided instructions on how to disarm an explosive booby trap called molniya or lightning it read: 'when digging out the container from the earth, take care not to strike the handle by chance 'the handle must only be turned and the container tilted and taken out of the hole after the explosive device has been disarmed' some of the caches have since been uncovered, but many are likely to remain today, said prof andrew, a friend of mitrokhin who has written two books about his vast trove of documents although the archive does not detail caches on british soil, professor andrew insisted they must exist 'this was a large scale operation and the caches were strategically placed in most nato countries during the cold war,' he said handwritten: the kgb major's notes (pictured) described the location of weapons stores in intricate detail trove: a list of soviet agents operating abroad (left) is contained within the newly released files (right) 'given that britain was second only to the united states in terms of importance to the soviets at this time, it would be remarkable if this tactic wasn't deployed here' however, those hoping to lay their hands on a dangerous piece of history would be disappointed, prof andrew said he explained: 'of course by now they would not be easy to find and it is unlikely the weapons would be serviceable'

a new mexico man has spoken of his anger after buying what appeared to be a winning lottery ticket worth more than $500,000 only for officials to claim it was a misprint and refuse to honor it john wines, who has recently retired, bought the new mexico lottery scratcher featuring the winning numbers '1' and '2' from a shell gas station in roswell, chaves county, in december as he started scratching, he was stunned to come across two '1s' both of which were worth $250,000 he later uncovered another '1' ($75) and two further '2s' ($500 and $50 respectively) scroll down for video angry: john wines, who has recently retired, bought a new mexico lottery scratcher featuring the winning numbers '1' and '2' from a shell gas station in roswell in december above, mr wines with the ticket misprint: as he started scratching, he came across two '1s' (pictured) both worth $250,000 however, he was later told they had been misprinted and were, in fact, double figure numbers that were not winners assuming that the scratcher's stated maximum prize of $250,000 was wrong, a delighted mr wines returned to the gas station to collect his winnings however, he was told he had not won anything instead, the female cashier explained that the 'winning' numbers were, in fact, double figure numbers that had seen their right hand side numbers omitted as a result of a misprint by the lottery 'i took it back in and she told me that is not a winner,' mr wines told kob 4 news 'they told me that it was a misprint and they don't pay off for misprints' indeed, if you look closely at mr wines's ticket, you can see part of several numbers that are supposed to be next to the 1s and 2s however, it is unclear what figures they are meant to be more false wins: mr wines later uncovered another '1' (worth $75) and two further '2s' (worth $500 and $50 respectively) two of which are pictured above that were also revealed to be the result of a lottery misprint unhappy customer: 'i mean, if you thought you won $500,000 and somebody tells you that you didn't, and you can prove you did, it's pretty stressful for somebody to say, 'no you're not getting your money',' said mr wines furthermore, the letters underneath the 1s and 2s which are a safety figure designed to prevent fraud by responding to specific numbers (such as 14 = 'ftn') clearly refer to other numbers but despite the evidence, mr wiles claims the ticket appears to be a winner, saying: 'there’s a 1 right here for $250,000,” said wines “right below that is another 1 and it's a $250,000 winner' he added: 'i mean, if you thought you won $500,000 and somebody tells you that you didn't, and you can prove you did, it's pretty stressful for somebody to say, 'no you're not getting your money'' seller: following the gas station's (pictured) refusal to pay him any cash mr wiles contacted the new mexico lottery but they told him in an email that his ticket was 'not a winner' and refused to honor his 'winnings' following the gas station's refusal to pay him his winnings, mr wiles contacted the new mexico lottery however, the firm apparently told him in an email that his ticket was certainly 'not a winner' as a goodwill gesture, officials offered him $100 in lottery tickets, according to the broadcaster but an angry mr wiles said: 'this is $500,000 that's a half million it’s like i told them, i didn't misprint it i bought the ticket in good faith thinking if i won i was going to get my money'

smartphones are being turned into ‘pocket doctors’ capable of spotting parkinson’s disease the popular devices come equipped with technology needed to record speech and movement – both of which are eroded by the condition, britain’s biggest science conference heard the information can then be analysed and, it is hoped, used to diagnose the disease earlier and more accurately more prompt treatment should improve quality of life a patient’s symptoms could also be tracked over time, ‘revolutionising’ treatment by allowing doctors to adjust drug dosage as needed a new smartphone app can help diagnose parkinson's disease suffered by muhammad ali and michael j fox (pictured) by recording speech and movement, both of which are eroded by the condition more studies are needed but british researchers have already shown they distinguish parkinson’s patients from healthy people with almost 100 per cent accuracy – and they are in negotiation about using the technology on the nhs some 127,000 britons suffer from parkinson’s but with diagnosis based on symptoms, it is often not confirmed until relatively late once it is diagnosed, fluctuations in the severity of symptoms make it difficult adjust drug doses high profile sufferers include michael j fox, who was just 30 when he was diagnosed with the condition, and muhammad ali comedian robin williams was in the early stages of parkinson’s when he died last month symptoms include tremors, stiffness and a gradual slowing down of the body as more and more brain cells die, speech and balance can be affected and some sufferers become wheelchair bound there is no cure but early treatment improves quality of life the ‘pocket doctor’, unveiled at the british science festival in birmingham, is simply a normal smartphone aston university mathematician dr max little has shown it is possible to use voice recordings to spot parkinson’s with 99 per cent accuracy give aways include soft, breathy speech and a tremor to the voice the team has also used the phone’s accelerometer the inbuilt motion sensor that ensures the information on the screen faces the right way – to log movement this is important, as parkinson’s patients often freeze while walking dr little told the british science festival in birmingham: ‘we have been able to show that if someone puts the smartphone in their pocket and walks forward 20 paces and back we can get very high accuracy – around 98 per cent or so – in detecting whether someone has parkinson’s’ the actor robin williams, 63, pictured in july this year, was also in the early stages of parkinson's disease the scientists behind the new app say voice recordings can diagnose the disease with 99 per cent accuracy he hopes that if he can study enough people, it will eventually be possible to detect the disease in its early stages dr little said: ‘we don’t know how to diagnose the disease until in essence it is too late if we could get an advantage of even five years, that would be great’ possibilities range from a program that is only used by doctors to an app that the general public can use, although the ethics of this would have to be examined it is hoped the gadgetry found in smartphones could also be used to help spot other conditions, including alzheimer’s disease, anxiety and depression claire bale of charity parkinson’s uk, which is helping fund dr little’s work, said: ‘this research is a welcome step forward 'parkinson’s is a very complex and fluctuating condition – so effectively managing it is a real challenge ‘smartphones offer huge potential as they continuously capture information, and can monitor subtle changes such as an increase or decrease in someone’s tremor ‘arming doctors and people with parkinson’s with this technology could revolutionise the way the condition is managed'

two singles in their seventies who married after a chance meeting at a blues concert have proved that love can come at any age margie goldsmith, a 70 year old travel writer who lives in new york city, had been divorced twice and no longer had marriage on her mind when she met jamie anthony, a 71 year old retired insurance executive, at the triad nyc, a theater on manhattan's upper west side, in july 2012 'i had completely decided that it absolutely was not worth it i'd done it twice and that was enough,' ms goldsmith told dailymailcom just married: margie goldsmith, a 70 year old travel writer who lives in new york city, wed jamie anthony, 71, on december 13 after meeting at a blues show in 2012 'i was very happy with my life as it was i was living a life as a complete person with a lot of friends and i didn't feel i had to have a man i think if you get to a certain age, you get over that you don't need to have a man in your life,' she added she and mr anthony, who had also been divorced twice and has three grown children, struck up a conversation about their mutual love of the blues after he noticed that her friend was wearing a shirt from the shack up inn in mississippi, where mr anthony had stayed many times 'i thought he was absolutely charming and i loved his southern accent,' she recalled of mr anthony, who grew up in sandy springs, georgia, and now produces blues bands 'i was thrilled to meet someone who had a similar passion' one day later, he invited her to maplewoodstock, a music festival near his home in maplewood, new jersey the following weekend, he asked her to take a ride on his motorcycle 'the moment he told me he loved motorcyles, i thought oh god, he's got to have tattoos all over his body he's probably got black leather, he's got chains and he rides a harley but i liked him enough to be willing to give it a go,' she said first impression: 'i thought he was absolutely charming and i loved his southern accent,' ms goldsmith recalled of mr anthony however, she found the ride exhilarating, telling the new york times: 'riding behind him was very sensual you can choose how much to put your arms around him i put my arms around him a lot we were like two teenagers on our first date by the time we made it back to the city, i was hooked' the pair went on to experience other adventures together, including a motorcycle ride in the rain on bavaria's romantic road, during which they got lost, not speaking a word of german, and ended up in austria it was in germany that ms goldsmith began to realize the relationship was serious, she added to dailymailcom 'it was the first time i'd been away with him for more than two or three nights and he was really easy to be with and we had the same values and i was very attracted to him, which i hadn't been in a very long time i had just met a lot of men whom i couldn't wait to get away from after a cup of coffee,' she said on a subsequent trip to bali, where ms goldsmith was working on a story assignment, mr anthony proposed in balinese, telling her: 'i will love you forever please be a part of my life' the couple married on december 13 at mr anthony’s church, prospect presbyterian in maplewood happy couple: 'he was really easy to be with and we had the same values,' ms goldsmith said of mr anthony ms goldsmith said she was eager to gain 13 new family members, including mr anthony's son and two daughters, and their spouses and children she found an instant rapport with his daughter ashlee, whom she met on their first date at maplewoodstock, and was impressed that all three children were 'so beautifully brought up, and so polite' ms goldsmith said that there are two secrets to a happy marriage 'first of all, respecting the other one's feelings and compromising instead of blowing up or getting resentful but even before that, being open about your feelings,' she said 'in both other marriages, i just let the resentment seethe inside of me i was too afraid to express what i really felt because i thought each respective husband would get angry but now that i'm older and wiser, i have no trouble telling jamie if something bothers me and he does the same i think the resentments are what drive people to divorce it's empowering to be able to say what you feel' ms goldsmith has kept her apartment in new york city, where she likes to write in her office, while mr anthony will maintain his residence in south orange, new jersey, where he's since moved, so that neither has to compromise their lifestyle the couple will spend weekends together and plan dinner dates during the week ms goldsmith said: 'i think at 20, or 30, or 40, as a woman, you're looking for someone to complete you even the second time around, you kind of lose your identity to a man if you were brought up in an age when your mother said find a guy, marry him and darn his socks and cook his meals, you become an appendage of your husband and you lose whatever identity is your own 'but when you're 70, if you choose to get married, you have your identity, you're not about to lose it and if you're marrying someone who's also 70, then they understand that they're not going to try to mold you into something they want you to be'

a man who was shot and killed by san francisco police officers left behind a suicide note in his cellphone addressed to police officers shot matthew hoffman, 32, on sunday evening after he entered a restricted parking lot at a police station and brandished what appeared to be a handgun it was actually an air gun, which fires small projectiles such as pellets or bbs san francisco police made public one of several notes, this one titled 'dear officer(s)' with the permission of hoffman's father, authorities said in a statement scroll down for video 'i used you': suicidal man matthew hoffman, 32, left a note to police apologizing for tricking them into firing in the note, hoffman, 32, said the officers 'ended the life of a man who was too much of a coward to do it himself' 'please, don't blame yourself i used you i took advantage of you,' hoffman added hoffman was transported to san francisco general hospital, where he later died of his wounds the officers were not injured the air gun did not have a colored tip on it, which is a standard identifier of a toy gun, officer gordon shyy said monday he declined to discuss any other details of the case san francisco police chief greg suhr said monday that his department, like police across the nation, has heightened concern for officer safety following the ambush killings of two new york city police officers 'this is a job where very sadly we lose officers,' suhr said 'it's on all our minds but we've got a job to do, so we're going to do it' the shooting occurred about 5:15 pm after three sergeants noticed a man loitering in the parking lot of the mission district police station the parking lot is clearly marked as restricted to the public, but a gate is kept open for police vehicles to come and go, suhr said incident: the shooting sparked outrage in the neighborhood where people feared a backlash against police police ordered hoffman to leave, and he began to walk away but then stood in the middle of the driveway, staring at them and blocking them from leaving the sergeants again ordered him to leave hoffman began backing out of the parking lot, facing the sergeants with his hands in his front shirt pockets they asked him to show his hands he lifted his sweater and showed what appeared to be the butt of a handgun, esparza said when hoffman reached for his waistband and pulled out the air gun, two of the sergeants opened fire, hitting hoffman three times hoffman had approached officers at the mission district station earlier in the day and asked them what kind of guns san francisco police carry, what kind of ammunition they use and if the officers had been involved in any officer involved shootings, esparza said the officers did not speak with the man, and he eventually left the sergeants involved in the shooting were placed on 10 days of paid administrative leave, which is standard in any police shooting their names were not released suhr said he will hold a town hall meeting discussing the shooting, which rattled nearby residents joann kuhl, who lives a few blocks away, told the san francisco chronicle that her biggest concern was that the shooting might 'fuel the fire of a really bad state of affairs between police and their community'

astronomers have been left baffled by the rise and subsequent fall of a huge feature in a sea on saturn’s moon titan in july 2012 a giant feature 100 square miles (260 square kilometres) in area roughly the area of 58,000 football fields is seen surfacing from under the liquid before partially disappearing again no definitive explanation is yet apparent but it could be a surface wave, rising bubbles or even a solid object just below the surface in this series of images from the cassini spacecraft the giant object 100 square miles (260 square kilometres) in size is seen rising out of one of titan's largest seas before disappearing again in the latest image on the right the object still seems to be partially submerged beneath the surface the feature was spotted by nasa’s cassini spacecraft, which is currently in orbit around the saturnian system it was spotted in ligeia mare, one of the largest seas on titan, and was observed by cassini’s radar experiment in images from 10 july 2012 to 21 august 2014 the feature is shown rising and then falling below the surface with its thick atmosphere and organic rich chemistry, titan resembles a frozen version of earth several billion years ago, before life began pumping oxygen into our atmosphere because titan is smaller than earth, its gravity doesn’t hold onto its gaseous envelope as tightly, so the atmosphere extends 370 miles (595 kilometres) into space as on earth, the climate is driven mostly by changes in the amount of sunlight that comes with the seasons, although the seasons on titan are about seven earth years long titan's ‘water’ is liquid methane, ch4, better known on earth as natural gas regular earth water, h2o, would be frozen solid on titan where the surface temperature is 180°c ( 292°f) with titan's low gravity and dense atmosphere, methane raindrops could grow twice as large as earth's raindrops as well as this, they would fall more slowly, drifting down like snowflakes but scientists think it rains perhaps only every few decades a comparison image from 26 april 2007 shows how no similar feature was previously spotted in that region the mysterious feature appears bright in the radar images, suggesting it has a somewhat similar composition to the land nearby in the image this supports one theory that it may be a solid structure potentially an island that surfaced from under the liquid before sinking again for an unknown reason the dark area in the image is the liquid hydrocarbon sea on titan’s surface, while the bright area is land scientists on the radar team are confident that the feature is not an artifact or flaw in their data they have also ruled out the possibility of it being due to evaporation, as the nearby shoreline has not changed much several theories currently exist including surface waves, rising bubbles, floating solids, solids suspended just below the surface or ‘something more exotic’ according to nasa when asked for further comment by mailonline the agency was yet to respond speaking to mailonline professor of planetary plasma physics emma bunce from the university of leicester, who also works on the cassini mission, said it may have been some sort of iceberg akin to something we see on earth ‘it could be something floating that sunk and came back to the surface,’ she says ‘i was thinking almost like an iceberg, similar to something in earth’s oceans’ but she doesn’t rule out the possibility of it being some sort of giant bubble, or even surface waves she goes on to explain that the feature may have arisen due to the change in season at saturn the first image in 2007 was taken ‘around saturn equinox [when the sun is above the equator], and then the latest image is now heading towards northern summer solstice on saturn ‘that’s sort of an ongoing theme for a lot of the cassini results; a lot of things depend on the season at saturn as it moves in orbit ‘because this lake itself is actually near to titan’s northern pole, perhaps it is something to do with illumination conditions' a comparison image from 26 april 2007 (left) shows how no similar feature was previously spotted in that region the feature was spotted by nasa’s cassini spacecraft, which is currently in orbit around the saturnian system on the right is an image of titan in orbit around saturn the feature was spotted in ligeia mare (shown), one of the largest seas on titan, and was observed by cassini’s radar experiment several theories currently exist including surface waves, rising bubbles, floating solids, solids suspended just below the surface or ‘something more exotic’ according to nasa the appearance of the feature may also be due to changing seasons on titan, with summer drawing near in the moon’s northern hemisphere monitoring these changes is a major goal of cassini’s current extended mission ‘science loves a mystery, and with this enigmatic feature, we have a thrilling example of ongoing change on titan,’ said dr stephen wall, the deputy team lead of cassini's radar team, based at nasa’s jet propulsion laboratory in pasadena, california ‘we're hopeful that we'll be able to continue watching the changes unfold and gain insights about what's going on in that alien sea’ it's not just titan that is thought to have an active surface; earlier this month scientists found the first sign of geologic activity on a solar system world other than earth europa experts from the university of idaho and the johns hopkins university, maryland, say europa could be more earth like than experts imagined the latest find appears to solve a puzzle that has perplexed planetary scientists it shows where old crust was destroyed and how the icy crust is expanding many parts of europa’s surface show evidence of extension, where wide bands up to tens of miles wide formed as the surface ripped apart, and fresh icy material from the underlying shell moved into the newly created gap, a process akin to terrestrial seafloor spreading, according to the study published in the journal nature geoscience europa’s surface is considered to be relatively young at between 40 and 90 millions of years old, which can perhaps now be explained by plate tectonics it has been a decade since cassini entered orbit around saturn (illustration shown) in june the cassini mission celebrated 10 years of exploring the planet, its rings and moons it arrived for a four year mission but has since been continuously extended, although it will almost certainly end in 2017

west brom chairman jeremy peace has called for the transfer window to be moved the baggies chief believes it would be beneficial to clubs if the window closed before the start of the season but peace knows a change is unlikely to happen with the premier league reluctant to make the switch astute: jeremy peace was happy with west brom's transfer business but wants the window closed earlier 'if you spoke to the other clubs in the premier league they would all say it's not ideal,' he told the wolverhampton express & star 'we are all the same in our little league 'my ideal would be that you get your squad done and start playing and the window shuts, then you all know where you stand record signing: brown ideye was signed for a whopping £10m as the baggies reinforced their forward line 'no player thinks that they might be moving and thinking they'd better not get injured 'and players would not be coming to you saying they're not in the right frame of mind 'we have raised it with the premier league and said 'close the transfer window at the start of the season' 'but they mention the league cup, the fa cup, no winter break, the fact that world cups and european championships eat into the window star signing: argentine international sebastian blanco became west brom's 11th signing of the summer 'all of these things mean we can't do it so we're stuck with it as it is and everybody has got the same set of problems 'if we could do it i would certainly be in favour because it would remove a whole load of uncertainty during the season 'you try to get things done as early as possible but you can't people talk about not doing anything until after the world cup' albion brought in 11 new players, including record £10m striker brown ideye, as head coach alan irvine rebuilt the squad after they narrowly escaped the drop under pepe mel last season and peace insists he is happy with the baggies' business since during the summer he added: 'in a way we have had a major sea change in the last three months because we wanted to draw a line under what had gone on last season and almost reboot it, start all over again 'we have tried to get the right type of player in terms of not only the way they play but also the type of characters involved to take us forward'

owner: neighbour garfield king outside his home the owner of a staffordshire bull terrier which ripped off a toddler's ear and nose has astonishingly blamed the boy's parents for not keeping a closer eye on him two year old keiron guess is in a coma today after being rushed to hospital with horrendous injuries he was playing outside his house in swindon, wiltshire, when his neighbour's dog savaged him but garfield king, the dog's owner, said: ‘if you’re a parent you have to look after your children 24 hours a day if it wasn’t a dog it could have been a paedophile’ garfield's son jonathan went face to face with dave guess, during a heated confrontation near their houses today the toddler had seven hours of emergency reconstructive surgery and his parents, stacey, 22, and anthony, 23, have been at his bedside it emerged today that he has been able to squeeze the hands of loved ones as he continues to recover from his horrific injuries the toddler was able to respond after medics began reducing his coma but doctors have stressed he is still at risk carl drury, keiron’s great uncle, said: 'he is stable but they have said he is not out of the woods yet and there is a long way to go 'they did reduce the coma slightly last night and he responded by squeezing fingers' the youngster was saved by his grandfather, who was also injured but has been left breathing with the aid of a ventilator today kieron's grandfather dave guess, who rescued him from the dog, said the family were too frightened to return home despite the out of control dog being destroyed, there is still another one living at the neighbour's house ‘it would be hard for keiron to come back here after what has gone on he would be terrified,' said dave ‘something needs to be done we still don’t know whether the owner will be allowed to keep his other dog yet confrontation: jonathan king, (left) the eldest son of dog owner garfield king clashes with dave guess, grandfather of dog attack victim kieron guess today ‘but this should never have happened in the first place the dog had bitten people, including a police officer, and other dogs before ‘it just does not seem right that no one will be prosecuted i saw my grandson get ripped to pieces by that dog he has massive scars across his face’ keiron’s family believe the youngster may have wandered through an open gate into the property, from an alleyway next to their home a staffordshire bull terrier called ‘ratty’ believed to be owned by rastafarian garfield king then set upon the child, savaging his face with its giant jaws dave, describing what he saw when he got to the child seconds later, said: ‘he was ripping him to pieces keiron was a mess wound: dave guess shows the injuries he sustained while trying to rescue his grandson kieron guess the child is still in hospital anger: jonathan king (left) said he had travelled from london to defend his father's reputation as he clashed with dave guess today ‘the dog owner was holding keiron up but the dog was just jumping up and biting him ‘i took keiron off him, put him on my shoulders, and ran back into the alleyway i was getting bitten by the dog but eventually managed to get keiron safe’ the toddler was rushed to frenchay hospital in bristol, where he underwent seven hours of reconstructive surgery doctors reconstructed part of his nose, putting metal plates in his face, and tried to rebuild his left ear which had been completely severed garfield's son jonathan king said as he clashed with dave guess: ‘i have come up from london to defend my dad he is in a bad way at the moment he has grandkids himself victim: kieren guess suffered horrific facial injuries in the attack aggression: two pit bull style dogs seen leaping up at shovell king's house near to where keiron was attacked ‘we are very apologetic to the family of the child he is the most important thing right now but the dogs were in the garden and the child has strayed into the garden’ kieron's other grandfather said the boy was 'on the mend' doctors have been tentatively waking the youngster and letting him move around before returning him to his slumber but there are still fears he may suffer an infection grandfather shaun leonard said: 'his parents have gone up to hospital again today 'he’s on the mend i think and he’s starting to move they are waking him up, letting him move and putting him back down mauled: the boy is being treated at frenchay hospital in bristol, where he has undergone surgery 'keiron’s got swelling on his face but its starting to go down the doctors are saying they don’t want him to get an infection they are also saying he’s got fluid on his lungs it’s a bit of blood but that’s understandable after what he’s been through 'everything we hear now is just a worry' mr leonard said the boy was playing in a lane behind the family home at 6pm on sunday when the dog burst out of mr king’s back yard mr leonard said: ‘the dog took his left ear off and bit off most of his nose his left eye was hanging out ‘he has injuries from his forehead right down to his chin there were holes in his face the dog also took a chunk out of the back of his head’ keiron’s 49 year old paternal grandfather, david guess, heard his screams and raced to help scene: an alleyway behind swanage walk in swindon, where the attack happened in june horror: the attack happened while keiron was being looked after by his grandfather in swanage walk (above) mr leonard, a lorry driver, continued: ‘he managed to pull keiron on to his shoulders but the dog was still jumping up at him it just kept coming back for more’ his 22 year old mother, who is pregnant and has another son, kenzie aged four, with her 23 year old scaffolder husband, wrote on facebook: ‘just waiting for my gorgeous baby just want to hold you in our arms’ mr king, whose son owned the dog, was watching the diamond jubilee celebrations in his end of terrace redbrick home when the canine entered the garden and sunk its teeth into the youngster’s head ‘all of a sudden the dog went outside i heard squeaking and then i had to go outside to check on the dog,' he said ‘the dog was looking like he was playing with something i thought the neighbours had thrown a dolly over the fence but then i saw it wasn’t a dolly because i saw all the blood i’m still in shock now’ however, mr king was unapologetic talking at his home, lined with buddhist ornaments and african drums, saying the parents should have been watching over their son panic: the boy's grandfather was also hurt as he tried to pull the animal away during the horrific incident in swanage walk wiltshire police said the dog was due to be destroyed yesterday but no arrests had been made in september last year, a police team raided mr king’s address, and an officer was bitten by a dog after the animal had been tasered it is believed that the police officer who went to the house after the mauling of keiron was the same police officer who was bitten on the hand by the dog last year during the raid a local newspaper photographer took a photograph of two dogs jumping at the glass door it is not known if the picture features the dog which attacked keiron after the raid, police constable mark giles from wiltshire police said: ‘the owner was trying to control the two of them but they were trying to fight each other and get at us ‘i had to deploy my taser to try to prevent them from attacking but one leapt up and bit me even after i hit it in the mouth’ under the dangerous dogs act 1991, if a dog bites someone while on its owner’s property, police are not required to take action unless the injury is severe or the dog is thought to be a danger to others

david cameron is preparing to warn german chancellor angela merkel that he is prepared to take britain out of the eu without major reform the prime minister will use talks in london tomorrow to set out his 'red lines' for renegotiation of eu membership, warning that without big changes he will rule nothing out they will tour the british museum before meeting in downing street, when mr cameron will demand new safeguards for the single market, an end to ever closer union between member states, new 'red card' powers to veto brussels rules and a major package of welfare curbs german chancellor angela merkel will arrive in london tomorrow morning for talks with david cameron which are likely to focus on his demands for eu reform mr cameron has promised that if he is still pm after may's general election he will renegotiate britain's membership of the eu before staging an in out referendum before the end of 2017 he has made clear that he thinks his plan will succeed, and he will then recommend staying in the eu if he fails he admits he will 'rule nothing out', raising the prospect that he will recommend exit from the 28 nation bloc however, mrs merkel has insisted that she will not support any moves to alter the fundamental principle of freedom of movement she wants britain to remain in the eu, but senior figures in berlin have repeatedly said they will not seek to do so at any cost the german chancellor will arrive in the uk tomorrow morning and they visit the british museum to see an exhibition on the history of her country the museum's germany: memories of a nation exhibition traces 600 years of the history, with exhibits including works of art and a volkswagen beetle downing street said that the pair's talks would focus on the german presidency of the g7 however mr cameron will reiterate his warning that if he fails to secure the reforms he could back britain's exit 'if i don't get what i want i rule nothing out ruling nothing out means just that,' mr cameron said at the weekend the leaders will tour the british museum in central london the germany: memories of a nation exhibition traces 600 years of the history, with exhibits including works of art and a volkswagen beetle he used a major in november to set out key demands on banning eu nationals from claiming in work benefits or social housing in britain for four years, deporting jobless migrants if they do not get work for six months and refusing to allow other countries to join the eu without imposing controls on the movement of their workers until their economies have reached uk levels he said: 'eu migrants should have a job offer before they come here uk taxpayers will not support them if they don't' however, today there were reports that the european commission was preparing to block the move the guardian said the commission is preparing to let number 10 know that the proposal would be unworkable because it would be impossible to distinguish between eu jobseekers and tourists entering the uk ahead of the visit, ukip leader nigel farage said: 'germany is facing its own problems at the moment and would not want britain to start turning away eu jobseekers, potentially redirecting them to seek work there 'if chancellor merkel agreed that uk can close the door on eu jobseekers she would also have to recognise that a great many that were britain bound would instead seek work in germany as the continent's biggest economy, and that is a risk she is likely to be unwilling to take' labour's shadow europe minister pat mcfadden said chancellor merkel would not be driven by 'the need to pander to the eurosceptics inside today's conservative party' he added: 'even once her visit is over, the gap between what david cameron's eurosceptic backbenchers are demanding and what european allies such as germany will accept, remains unbridgeable 'europe does need to change, but the tragedy for britain is that since being elected, david cameron has spent more time negotiating with his backbenchers than with other eu leaders'

a prolific us anti vaccine campaigner who will be speaking at child health seminars across australia has defended them after pro immunisation parents labelled them as 'disgusting' sherri tenpenny, who has written books such as saying no to vaccines and flu and flu vaccines: what's coming through that needle?, will be touring in melbourne, adelaide, brisbane, the gold coast and sydney in february and march but pro vaccination campaigners have hit out at the raising healthy children naturally, and birth, baby and beyond seminars scroll down for video sherri tenpenny, who has written books such as saying no to vaccines and flu and flu vaccines: what's coming through that needle?, will be touring australia in february and march dr tenpenny said she found the backlash on social media 'curious' 'i planned to be in australia for a holiday and was asked to speak with a few groups who are interested in discussing the pros and cons of vaccines,' she told daily mail australia via email 'it is curious why the public health, pro vaccine community is so outraged over my visit and the opportunity to share information sourced from conventional medical journals 'if vaccines were so effective, so protective and so incredibly safe, no one would be interested in these gatherings 'the public health community should be willing to openly discuss they problems associated with vaccines, how to improve vaccine safety, and how to restore the health of those who have been vaccine injured' as soon as next month, australians will also get the chance to sit down and have dinner with the high profile anti vaccination campaigner, with tickets ranging from $125 to $200 dr tenpenny described the public the public health and pro vaccine communities' outrage as 'curious' her views on immunisation are further demonstrated by the t shirts sold on her site on her website, dr tenpenny writes she believes 'vaccines can cause more harm to the health of the individual' and is against 'a system that forces parents to inject their children, against their better judgment' her views on immunisation are further demonstrated by the t shirts sold on her site, which read: 'i didn't deny my children vaccines i spared them' and 'fact: 1 in 50 = autism overall, fact: 1 in 25,000 = unvaccinated, prove me wrong' but dr tenpenny's visit have people so outraged they have vowed to write to local politicians to stop her from spreading her message, with stop the avn a group who are for vaccines leading the charge stop the avn's dave hawkes told daily mail australia the group's concern was dr tenpenny 'peddled misinformation' 'she’s giving information that's not supported by evidence and marketing it to people with alternative views and possibly leaving them in danger by not vaccinating their young children,' he said dr hawkes who has a phd in hiv research said it was also concerning that people who were joining dr tenpenny, like isaac goldman, were spruiking homeopathic vaccines, which are 'essentially water' 'the evidence shows they don’t work… and leaves their kids susceptible,' dr hawkes said 'recently a seven month old child who was not vaccinated died from whooping cough' one of stop the avn's supporters wrote on social media she was going to write to federal politicians asking for their intervention 'i'm writing to the hons sussan ley and fiona nash (health minister and assistant health minister) vaccines are recommended by every state body in australia they are incentivised by our federal govt,' one woman said on facebook people have taken to social media to express their outrage, with one pro vaccine group starting a letter writing campaign the seminars are called raising healthy children naturally and birth, baby and beyond, and will be held in queensland, nsw, south australia and victoria while others have expressed their disgust on the social media pages of the venues holding the seminars 'i am beyond disgusted that you are hosting an anti vaccination seminar in march children die each year in this country as a result of this misinformation, is the small amount of money you are going to get worth it?' a facebook user wrote on melbourne's bayview eden page another wrote: 'cannot believe you are hosting an anti vaccine seminar in march, disgusting never staying here, ever' this comes after the federal court ruled against homeopathy plus, finding homeopathic vaccines were not scientifically proven to be effective, and said the health website had mislead people into thinking they could be used as a substitute for medical vaccines, news corp reported national centre of immunisaiton research and surveillance director peter mcintyre told daily mail australia dr tenpenny was tapping into people's 'fear factor' 'when we've got no disease to see, it's very easy to look at something like autism unfortunately it's something we still don't understand and start to suggest it has something to do with being vaccinated you can understand why people would believe that,' he said 'but there are hundreds of studies that disprove that' professor mcintyre added there was no scientific evidence homeopathic vaccinations protected people against infectious diseases he said it was like asking someone if they wanted to be vaccinated with 'sterile water' 'it’s just laughable really,' professor mcintyre said

'in other parts of the uk it is no problem whatsoever and the business is essential 'a large part of our business comes from the hospital and i don't know where this has come from' he added he had never agreed to restrict deliveries to the hospital and any such claims had been 'fabricated' 'we have been trying to contact the lady who wrote the newsletter with no success and find out what it's all about,' he added 'there is definitely no agreement and i believe somebody at the hospital has been misled' plymouth hospitals nhs trust, which runs derriford, is facing a £13million financial black hole this year it received a boost to its finances when it sold the 16 acre site to wharfside for £128million in 2006, and hopes to pocket about £100,000 a year for ten years when m&s opens in its entrance

historians believe they have raised england's only surviving 'state pirate ship' from the bottom of the thames estuary after 400 years most of the time the cherabin led an honest existence, trading between england and turkey for the levant company before it sank fully laden in a storm in 1603 but behind this peaceful image lay a sinister double life plundering other nations' traders in 'terrorist' raids which were signed and sealed by the high court of admiralty find: historians believe they have raised england's only surviving 'state pirate ship' from the bottom of the thames estuary after 400 years the wreck (pictured) was found 10 years ago with few clues to its identity historic: the wreck was rediscovered in the thames estuary near herne bay, kent, and is believed to have sunk during a fierce storm in 1603 as it left london fully laden with goods to trade with the rest of the world huge: the ship was left in pieces but originally weighed 160 tons and measured 80ft long and 25ft wide the cherabin was one of 70 'privateers' state pirate ships which stole £97,000 under the reign of elizabeth i, more than the famous pirates of the south west put together the spoils were then divided between rich english sponsors and the courts, which claimed a hefty cut of the winnings as a tax in the case of the cherabin, the ship travelled to the azores to steal more than £2,000 in unspecified 'prizes', sugar, hides, ginger, sarsaparilla and brazilwood much of the treasure was owned by merchants from spain, with whom england was fighting a war that was never formally declared until now historians believed they had never found the remains of any privateers, most of which met grisly ends on the high seas dr gustav milne said the ship likely 'led the double life of honest trader and ruthless privateer' but that changed after a 400 year old vessel was dug up from the bed of the thames estuary a decade ago in what researchers described as the biggest find since the mary rose after 10 years painstakingly combing over the ship's mud caked artefacts and disintegrating beams, archaeologists now say they have strong clues it and the cherabin were one and the same dr gustav milne, an honorary senior lecturer at university college london's institute of archaeology who led the project, said the similarities were striking both ships were a similar size and age, both sank fully laden as they left london, both were armed merchantmen, and both had evidence which pointed to them losing their sails and rudders 'i think there's a very good chance that the gresham ship was actually the cherabin', said dr milne 'we know the cherabin was drifting in a peculiar way because it lost its rudder and sails interestingly we didn't find a rudder and our ship was strangely orientated on the sea bed 'if our wreck is indeed the cherabin, then it probably is the first merchantman of that era yet recovered that led the double life of honest trader and ruthless privateer 'privateering was state sponsored terrorism formally sanctioned by the high court of admiralty, conducted by merchant and private shipping on the high seas and therefore lying outside the contemporary definition of a declaration of all out war between two sovereign states 'in effect, england declared war on spain without declaring war on spain, not using expensive armies and avoiding invasions and unwinnable land battles, but by using privately owned ships sponsored by private backers who would get a cut of the 'profits' 'the rest was then collected by the high court of admiralty as a 'tax'' reign: the cherabin was one of 70 'privateers' state pirate ships which stole £97,000 under elizabeth i study: divers helped raise the ship's skeleton from the murky waters around girdler sand near herne bay, kent, and brought it to portsmouth before samples were sent to be studied in denmark and london big job: a workman carefully unloads one of the huge sections which was raised from the thames estuary fragile: the wreck could not be kept out of the water for long because it would begin to decay in the air careful study: like the cherabin, the gresham ship was aligned unusually on the sea bed (pictured in diagram) the historians make clear that they will never be completely sure if they have the right ship port records from the year of the cherabin's sinking, which would have included its cargo and other details, did not survive and the remains are too disintegrated to prove its origin conclusively but details of its final days were recorded partially in court records, because its owner brought legal action over the sinking after he claimed the estuary channels were not properly marked out and the historians insist the remains were the most important find since the mary rose was raised from the solent in 1982, after 437 years the wreck was originally rediscovered by the duke of wellington in the 1840s, whose men found and melted down 2,700 lead ingots, iron guns and lead for money without a second thought for its history significant: historians described the find as the biggest since the raising of the mary rose (pictured), the flagship of henry vii's fleet which sank in the solent in 1545 but it was much more typical of ships of the time similarities: researchers said the ship was similar to sir francis drake's golden hinde (replica shown) clues: the wreck was named the gresham ship after the initials of elizabethan businessman and scholar thomas gresham were found on one of its 7ft cast iron guns he helped found the royal exchange in 1571 cannon: an emblem of a grasshopper on the gun the ship's timbers were felled in 1574, historians believe a crucial part of naval warfare from the 1500s to the 1800s, 'privateers' differed from pirates in only one way: they were backed by the state during the 19 year anglo spanish war, which was never formally declared despite the famed battle with the spanish armada of 1588, privateers proved a crucial weapon to undermine the enemy the ships would sail near the caribbean and spanish coasts, trying to intercept the treasures of their rivals to assert england's dominance their methods were every bit as merciless as those of conventional pirates, but their legitimacy meant their captains had no need to fear arrest when they returned home england was not alone every developed nation was every bit as ruthless as every other after that, the ship's existence was largely forgotten until workmen for the port of london authority were dredging the thames estuary in 2003 to build a £15billion container port in tilbury, essex divers helped raise the ship's skeleton from the murky waters around girdler sand near herne bay, kent, and brought it to portsmouth before samples were sent to be studied in denmark and at university college london over several years historians confirmed they had found an armed 16th century merchant ship, weighing 160 tons and measuring 80ft long and 25ft wide with a 60ft keel its timbers were dated to 1574 and it was similar to the golden hinde, the galleon sir francis drake used to circumnavigate the globe in the 1570s eventually they named it the gresham ship after sir thomas gresham, the legendary scholar and gunmaker who founded the royal exchange in 1571 and whose initials were found on one of the ship's 7ft cast iron guns unlike the mary rose, which was much larger and heavier than average ships in the 1500s, dr milne said gresham's ship was a typical example of london merchantmen of its day they traded with france, spain, north africa and constantinople, exploring the world in perilous conditions some 34 were commandeered to defeat the spanish armada in 1588 dr milne said the research had been excruciatingly slow caked in silt: the historians had a painstaking task to work out which artefacts on the ship were worth saving scientific: they used x rays to discover the identity of each artefact under the sand in this case a bottle from the captain's table: the team found this ornate salt cellar concealed under centuries of sediment and silt relics: the researchers chipped away at each of the artefacts from the ship, which were covered in silt 'a lot of the things we found, we didn't know what they were because they had come up covered in sand and gravel,' he said 'we x rayed them and painstakingly chipped away at the silt until we found what was underneath there were boots, spoons and a salt cellar straight from the captain's table' the team also found ingots of lead and tin and kentish ragstone ballast in the cargo hold, along with a powder chamber for an iron gun the ship's oak timbers have now taken their final journey from a navy torpedo testing lake to the national dive centre in stoney cove, leicestershire preserved by the water, they are now part of an 'underwater museum' which can be explored by the site's 30,000 trainee divers each year the researchers hope to put the artefacts on display at southend museum in essex from 2018 heritage: one of the ship's 7ft cast iron guns is lowered into a trough to help protect it from the elements final resting place: after long work (left) the timbers were

manchester united's stars are being worked harder in training than ever before by new manager louis van gaal, club insiders have revealed such is van gaal's ferocious desire to fast track the players he inherited from david moyes on to the levels he desires that wayne rooney, robin van persie, juan mata and co are being driven relentlessly by the dutch coach on a daily basis chief among van gaal's methods as he tries to bring about fundamental change at old trafford are incessant passing drills that see the united players put through endless repetitive routines aimed at honing and developing new instincts manchester united's players have been put through their paces daily since louis van gaal took over as boss louis van gaal has placed extra importance on passing drillsas he stamps his authority on manchester united louis van gaal has stepped up the intensity of united's training to get stars such as angel di maria fitter van gaal has spoken of how he wishes his players to think differently and react differently when they are in possession by putting them through these endless drills, he hopes they will use the ball better and will eventually make better decisions without even seeming to think the new united manager has also shown himself to be a lover of double training sessions van gaal asked the united squad to train twice a day regularly on pre season tour of america as he sought to change his players' thoughts and instincts quickly that practise has continued to an extent, though, now that the barclays premier league season has started and it's not unusual for players to train late in the morning, rest in the sleep unit that was installed last year at carrington and then train again in the afternoon 'it can seem relentless but the players understand why louis is doing it,' said a club source on tuesday louis van gaal was spotted leaving the lowry hotel in manchester on tuesday morning louis van gaal seemed to be looking for the right space as he prepared to leave the lowry hotel louis van gaal was seen loading his gear into a car as he left the lowry hotel manchester united's players have also been playing full paced 11v11 games in training prior to games robin van persie (right, with radamel falcao) has praised the methods of louis van gaal manchester united's players have often been sleeping at carrington between double training sessions 'the passing drills are incredible it's just 'pass, pass, pass' until the manager and his coaches think the players are beginning to do it almost naturally and instinctively' van persie – who played under van gaal for two years for the dutch national team – said yesterday that some of the united manager's sessions are 'incredible', with players having to be focussed during 'every single minute' it is also understood that another of van gaal's policies is to play full sided 11 v 11 games for 45 minutes two days before a game this game is required to be of the intensity of a premier league game and is aimed at preparing the players mentally and physically for the competitive game that is due to follow 48 hours later wayne rooney (left, with coach marcel bout) and his united team mates are said to be pleased with training luke shaw (left) and radamel falcao are two new signings adapting to louis van gaal's training methods it is not unusual for managers to play full sided games in training as it allows the weekend's anticipated first team the opportunity to get used to each other and grow familiarity however, they are usually played at half or three quarter pace and full on contact is minimal as managers are generally paranoid about injuries what has struck the united players about van gaal's 45 minute games, though, has been the intensity to play these games at full pace is rare but van gaal insists on it so that his players are 'match ready' when the actual competitive fixture comes around two days later during his time in england – and indeed during the world cup – van gaal has shown himself to be surprisingly open about injuries and fitness issues most managers like to hide problems from the public so as to keep the opposition guessing and will sometimes exaggerate minor knocks to fool rivals in to thinking star players aren't available van gaal doesn't do this but the former barcelona and bayern munich coach is obsessively secretive about his team shapes and training drills to the extent that he will only allow players and staff absolutely vital to the session anywhere near the carrington pitches when the first team are working paddy mcnair made his debut for manchester united against west ham last saturday paddy mcnair (left) is one of several young players louis van gaal has promoted to united's first team other carrington staff are asked to stay away so that van gaal can go about his business in private before players are handed individual dvds and dossiers of their training performances to watch later with united's performance staff and even at home in their spare time meanwhile, united fans can expect van gaal to introduce more young players in to the team sources have revealed that players like paddy mcnair – who made his debut at home to west ham on saturday – will continue to be blooded even when it's not 100 per cent necessary as van gaa is determined to find out which are good enough and which aren't as soon as possible 'he's doing great,' added van persie this week 'he's trying to get his philosophy in to a lot of new players i'm convinced that we will do what he wants us to do and go where he wants us to go it's very demanding but in a good way' like our manchester united facebook page
