a proud young dad came on the telephone from america on tuesday night to tell us how the arrival of his first born has given him the added motivation to up his game next month and go on to dethrone the two greatest pound for pound boxers in the world amir khan is deep into his training camp near san francisco the pain of spending months apart from his wife and baby daughter will only be worth it if he beats devon alexander in las vegas on december 13 and then shocks floyd mayweather or manny pacquiao – or maybe even both – next year amir khan speaks in los angeles ahead of his fight with devon alexander the two fighters appeared in a relaxed mood as they shared the stage with victor oritz (c) khan needs to defeat alexander to set up a mega bout with either floyd mayweather or manny pacquiao khan insists that the birth of his daughter has inspired him to realise his full potential in his 'prime years' khan and alexander face each other on stage at the conga room ahead of their december 13 fight ‘i’m a father now,’ says khan ‘i’m not only boxing for myself and my countries any longer i’m fighting for my family ‘it’s hard being away from home for so long very hard when you have a new baby’ he will turn 28 five days before entering the ring against alexander and says: ‘these are my prime years i have to train even harder, dedicate myself even more, focus all the more intently our daughter gives me the drive for this commitment’ khan’s wife faryal gave birth to little lamaisah this may, a year after they married in new york khan has been inspired by the birth of his baby daughter lamaisah in may the 27 year old admits that it is difficult spending time away from his wife faryal while he is training khan has posted pictures of his tough work out sessions away from home with trainer tony brady (l) in truth not much else of major significance has happened in the life of bolton’s former two time world champion since the wedding in the ring there has been just one fight, the solid and useful but hardly earth shattering out pointing of luis collazo the professional inactivity derived from the false promise of a mega bout with mayweather while he was waiting for that to happen, in vain, khan passed up a world title challenge to alexander last december the american then surrendered that ibf belt to shawn porter, who promptly lost it to khan’s british rival kell brook yet as khan and alexander finally get it on, the rewards for the victor could be bigger than any championship khan was denied a big money fight with floyd mayweather jnr, who took on marcos maidana (r) instead philippine boxer pacquiao (r), pictured against juan manuel marquez, is the other name on khan's hitlist khan outpointed luis collazo (l) in las vegas earlier this year after missing out on a proposed mega bout british boxer kell brook (r) is a potential next opponent after beating shawn porter for the ibf belt khan is reluctant to look beyond this immediate foe – 'i’ve learned the hard way not to make that mistake again’ but everyone knows that the money man and the pacman are on both their horizons promoter oscar de la hoya says: ‘absolutely, i expect the winner of this one to get the big prize next year’ the unspoken reality is that khan is the only one of the pair who has the profile and stature to land that massive pay night against mayweather or pacquiao he also brings with him uk pay view revenue khan, attending the carl froch vs george groves fight at wembley, can offer a uk pay per view audience khan survived a fourth round knockdown to defeat julio diaz at sheffield in april 2013 so it is to build on his box office appeal in america that he is pursuing glory over there rather than settling for loads more instant money by obliging brook in a wembley battle of britain potentially as enriching as that between carl froch and george groves ‘to be honest,’ he says, ‘brook would be an easier fight it was porter’s style which helped him win that title but beating alexander would do more to put me back in the mix with floyd and manny and i always want to fight the best who knows? maybe i can have mayweather and pacquiao in 2015’ maybe, with a modicum of help from little lamaisah khan was beaten by lamont peterson by a split decision in washington dc, december 2011 the bolton born boxer then followed that with an unexpected defeat by danny garcia in philadelphia ‘i can’t say i’ve been changing the nappies,’ he admits ‘my wife and our parents have been taking care of that but after a tough day in the gym it’s always good to get home and spend time with your child missing that is making me work a lot harder often ten times harder so i have to be careful not to overdo it’ despite the reversal of those back to back defeats by a drugged lamont peterson and the big punching danny garcia two years ago, de la hoya remains so convinced of khan’s potential for true greatness that he has elevated him to the top of star studded bill at the mgm grand garden arena ‘this is an honour for me,’ says khan ‘my first time headlining in one of boxing’s biggest arenas’ khan insists it is an honour for him to be headlining at 'one of boxing's greatest arenas' also, it is only his second fight at full welterweight and he believes he is ‘more ready’ for alexander in this division now than he would have been a year ago alexander dismisses his warm up win over collazo as ‘just a job amir had to do against a fading veteran’ khan says: ‘that was a fight i needed to settle at 147 lbs’ he also gives credit to alexander for ‘taking the kind of fight boxing needs more of, between two young fighters in their prime who both have a lot to lose’

midfielder mo salah's lack of game time with chelsea means he is not fit enough to inspire the egypt national team, according to pharaohs coach shawky gharib salah, signed from basle last january for £11million, has yet to feature for chelsea in the new domestic season, which gharib believes meant the 22 year old lacked sharpness as egypt lost 2 0 against senegal in african nations cup qualifying on friday 'we had many mistakes in passing the ball and we failed to put the required pressure on our opponents, but the defenders are not the only ones to be blamed,' gharib said, reported by ahram online sports video scroll down to see mourinho's thoughts on selling mata and signing salah out of touch: mohamed salah has not started a premier league at chelsea this season 'the poor fitness of the players, especially chelsea's mohamed salah, is also a reason for the loss 'the egyptian league hasn't started yet and also salah didn't play regularly with chelsea if salah is off form, egypt's performance is always affected' forward diego costa, who has scored four goals in his three games since a £32million summer move from atletico madrid, faces an assessment on the hamstring injury which forced him to miss spain's euro 2016 qualifier against macedonia ahead of saturday's barclays premier league match against swansea doubt: diego costa faces a fitness test after injuring his hamstring playing for spain

barcelona legend xavi will break a champions league record when he makes his 143rd appearance in the competition against paris saint germain on tuesday night the 34 year old midfielder will surpass former real madrid icon raul, with whom he is currently level on 142 appearances former manchester united winger ryan giggs made 151 appearances, but 10 of those were in qualifying rounds having won europe's most prestigious club competition three times with barcelona, he deserves to be considered one of champions league's all time greats here is our list of the top 10 champions league players (and there's no room for zinedine zidane) raul 142 xavi 142 ryan giggs 141 iker casillas 141 clarence seedorf 125 ryan giggs 151 xavi 148 raul 144 iker casillas 143 paolo maldini 140 10: edwin van der sar (ajax and manchester united) winner: 1995, 2008 van der sar was the calm, unflappable figure in goal when louis van gaal's extremely young ajax side caused the biggest upset in the competition's history by overcoming the mighty holders ac milan more than a decade later, the goalkeeper's place in champions league history was assured when he saved nicolas anelka's spot kick in moscow to earn manchester united their third european crown with victory against chelsea fittingly, van der sar's illustrious career ended with a champions league final, though this time he was helpless to prevent united from losing 3 1 to barcelona at wembley in 2011 edwin van der sar won the champions league with ajax in 1995 and manchester united in 2008 the dutchman saved a decisive penalty from nicolas anelka in the 2008 champions league final 9: clarence seedorf (ajax, real madrid and ac milan) winner: 1995, 1998, 2003 and 2007 the only player to win the champions league with three different clubs, seedorf was the midfield glue that helped some of the world's greatest players get their hands on the famous trophy the dutchman was just 19 when he helped ajax beat ac milan in 1995 three years later, he helped real madrid end a 32 year wait for european glory by beating juventus 1 0 but it was at milan that he enjoyed his greatest successes he was part of the side that defeated juventus on penalties at old trafford when andriy shevchenko converted the decisive kick and, after losing to liverpool in 2005 (more of which later in the countdown), he won a fourth title by defeating the same opponents 2 1 in 2007 clarence seedorf lifts the champions league after ac milan's win over liverpool in the 2007 final clarence seedorf is the only man to win the champions league with three different clubs 8: iker casillas (real madrid) winner: 2000, 2002, 2014 he may be receiving criticism in the latter stages of his career but nobody can deny casillas in his place among the all time greats to win three champions league trophies, spanning 14 years, is an incredible achievement and it might be a long time before anyone repeats it and of course he's still going the spaniard was just four days past his 19th birthday, extremely young for a top class goalkeeper, when he kept a clean sheet in the 2000 final against valencia he was one of the few to survive into the galactico era, keeping goal when zidane memorably won the 2002 final, and then went beyond the post galactico era and played in last may's 4 1 win against atletico madrid for la decima a young iker casillas (right) as part of real madrid's champions league winners in 2002 at hampden park casillas kisses the trophy after real madrid's win over atletico madrid in the 2014 final in lisbon 7: steven gerrard (liverpool) winner: 2005 gerrard hasn't got the multiple medals of others in the top 10, but none of them have dominated a final like he did in 2005, when his man of the match performance helped create the miracle of istanbul, a match so famous it's been turned into a film with liverpool 3 0 down at half time to ac milan, gerrard scored the opening goal of a miraculous comeback with his head, and ended up playing at right back to ensure his side, far weaker than the italians man for man, reached extra time and penalties previously, liverpool had only qualified for the knockout stages after his thunderous late strike against olympiacos at anfield had staved off elimination and he is still doing the business now, his last minute penalty against ludogorets gave liverpool victory in their opening group game of the 2014 campaign two weeks ago steven gerrard (right) and jamie carragher (left) kiss the trophy after a miraculous win in istanbul gerrard scores arguably his most famous goal against olympiacos at anfield in 2004 the liverpool captain's goal four minutes from time took his side through to the knock out stages 6: xavi (barcelona) winner: 2006, 2009, 2011 despite the spellbinding feats of lionel messi and cristiano ronaldo, this period of world football will be go down as the xavi iniesta era, where they helped barcelona and spain dominate with a passing philosophy known as 'tiki taka' xavi was an unused substitute when barcelona beat arsenal in the 2006 final but three years later he was an integral part of their midfield in the defeat of manchester united that prompted ronaldo's exodus to spain in 2011, he was majestic as the catalans again got the better of sir alex ferguson's side now 34, xavi's consistency, both in terms of keeping the ball and producing season on season, are unsurpassed and he will be a worthy record breaker when he plays his 143rd champions league game xavi has won the champions league with barcelona three times in 2006, 2009 and 2011 xavi skippered barcelona and ran the midfield in the 2011 final victory against manchester united 5: raul (real madrid and schalke) winner: 1998, 2000, 2002 holds the record for most goals and appearances in the champions league, though the latter is about to be eclipsed by xavi raul was the king of madrid as they recaptured the glory years of ferenc puskas and alfredo di stefano when the competition was called the european cup he won the trophy three times in five years against juventus, valencia and bayer leverkusen, the highlight coming at hampden park in 2002 when he scored the opening goal against the german side in a match ultimately won by zidane's stupendous volley real madrid legend raul is the top scorer in champions league history with 71 goals to his name 4: ryan giggs (manchester united) winner: 1999, 2008 the only united player who appeared in both finals of sir alex ferguson's champions league winning teams in 1999 against bayern munich, he unselfishly played on the right hand side to accommodate the left sided jesper blomqvist in a united reshuffle forced by suspension to roy keane and paul scholes nine years later against chelsea in moscow, giggs converted united's last penalty in the shoot out that preceded anelka's crucial miss giggs has played more champions league game than anyone else if you include qualifying rounds (148), but it's as much to do with respect as statistics that he commands a place in the top 10 the welshman has become a byword around europe for sportsmanship, as another united great sir bobby charlton was before him, a reputation underlined when he was applauded by real madrid fans in the heat of a tense battle ryan giggs was part of manchester united's champions league winning teams in 2008 (left) and 1999 (right) 3: cristiano ronaldo (manchester united and real madrid) winner: 2008, 2014 scored in victorious finals for two different clubs – and ended up being crowned world player of the year on both occasions ronaldo's header for united against chelsea in the 2008 final changed any perception that he was a flat track bully and unable to produce on the big occasions six years later, he was the talisman as real won a record 10th european cup against atletico madrid in lisbon he already has 68 champions league goals, three behind raul's record, and as he hasn't yet turned 30 it is only a matter of time when he passes that milestone, though lionel messi is also breathing down his neck on 67 cristiano ronaldo celebrates his goal against atletico madrid to help real madrid win 'la decima' the portugal superstar also scored in manchester united's 2008 victory against chelsea in moscow 2: paolo maldini (ac milan) winner: 1994, 2003, 2007 played in no fewer than six champions league finals – and also won the european cup twice in the 1980s before the competition changed format the ultimate italian defender, tough and resilient, maldini's finest hour came in 1994 when milan produced arguably the best performance in tournament history by thrashing barcelona 4 0 without their first choice centre back pairing of franco baresi and alessandro costacurta as captain, maldini also helped milan recover from the shock of losing a 3 0 lead to liverpool in istanbul – where he scored the opening goal to beat the same opponents in the 2007 final paolo maldini has won the champions league three times, but also won two european cups in the 1980s 1: lionel messi (barcelona) winner: 2009, 2011 on course to smash all champions league scoring records messi has already hit 67, four fewer than raul and one behind ronaldo; but at the age of 27 he could become the first player to net a century of champions league goals in the biggest head to head between the world's two best players, messi completely outplayed ronaldo when barcelona met united in the 2009 final in rome he even scored with a rare header from xavi's cross two years later, he scored again when barcelona beat united 3 1 at wembley, their ultimate european performance but the reason messi is marginally ahead of all the other great players listed is because of the way he has transcended the sport with his brand of magic the argentine has the quickest feet in the history of the game and is the figure that has given the champions league its own sense of excitement he may not have won the world cup like diego maradona, but maradona never won the european cup and messi has helped make the champions league the glamorous institution it is today that is why he is no 1 like mailonline sport's facebook page lionel messi has won the champions league three times already with barcelona at the age of 27 messi, scoring a header against united in the 2009 final, is closing in on raul's record for most cl goals

it may already be the most anticipated product in apple's history and for fans eagerly awaiting apple's $349 watch, there could be some good news on the way apple is 'finishing up' work on the apple watch’s software, according to 9to5mac it says sources familiar with the product’s development say that the device is currently on track to ship in the united states by the end of march, scroll down for video apple anticipates a total of 24 million watches will be shipped during 2015, according to claims and mass production will start in january the apple watch will use three types of app notifications allow users to take action or respond right from their wrist such as turning the lights off after they've left the house, quickly accessing flight details at the airport, and rerouting their transit when a train or bus is late glances, which quickly show users information they care about most, such as the latest news and sports scores, alarm system status or the next step of a favorite recipe full apps can use a developer's own interface so far apple has refused to reveal exactly when it will be released, although a statement made to apple employees suggests the release will be in 'the spring' it has previously been claimed that suppliers were struggling to make enough screens and processors however, breakthroughs have been made in the number of successful yields for the watch's display and processor, according to taiwan's united daily news late last year now 9to5mac's mark gurman says apple store employees are set to be trained in february 'one or two representatives from many apple stores in the united states, depending on store and market size, will be sent to apple offices in either cupertino, california or austin, texas to learn first hand about the watch,' he claims 'these training programs will take place between february 9th and february 16th' the employees will then train the rest of their store's staff, it is believed unveiled on september 9 at apple's iphone 6 launch event, the apple watch is the company's foray into wearable computers samsung, lg, motorola and microsoft have already launched their own smartwatches, but apple is expected to face unprecedented demand for its watch quanta, which is building the watch, has upped its number of workers from 2,000 to 10,000 and is ultimately aiming for 20,000 the initial round of shipments will be 3 to 5 million watches apple anticipates a total of 24 million watches to be shipped during 2015, g for games said according to 9to5mac, angela ahrendts, apple's senior vice president of retail and online stores hinted at the release date when she told staff: 'we’re going into the holidays, we’ll go into chinese new year, and then we’ve got a new watch launch coming in the spring' apple's chief executive tim cook unveiled the watch at a launch event in september he didn't announce exactly when the watch would be available, but said it would go on sale 'early next year' built in is a 'taptic engine' that responds to a subtle vibrations users feel on their wrist for notifications the watch has a completely new user interface, different from the iphone, and the 'crown' on the apple watch is a dial called the 'digital crown' users can turn the crown to zoom in and out on a map, or scroll a list the crown can also be pressed to take the user back to the home screen different areas on the watch face can be customised with taps and swipes, and force touches the glances feature shows info users would like to see, similar to google now, and is accessed by swiping the screen up from the bottom music can also be controlled on an iphone through the apple watch built in is a 'taptic engine' that responds to a subtle vibrations users feel on their wrist for notifications it understands questions in messages and then offers pre selected answers, and messages can be dictated to the iphone users can also talk to the watch and send a voice reply, or have it transcribed to them there is no keyboard on the watch, and messages can only be sent through dictation, or emoji siri also is built into the apple watch a 'source close to apple' told the information last month that the firm 'would be lucky to ship [the watch] before valentine's day' chinese new year falls on 19 february next year, so ms ahrendts comments push it at least beyond this date despite the range of impressive features unveiled by mr cook, there was something he failed to mention: battery life the telling omission suggests the watch’s battery life will be the achilles heel of the device when it eventually does go on sale apple is said to be unhappy with the watch's battery life, and the long lead time before the $349 (£216) product ships could mean the device will be more functional once it's released early next year apple's chief executive tim cook (pictured) unveiled the watch at a launch event in september although he didn't reveal battery life details, mr cook did spend some time talking about the watch's charging system, which combines apple’s magsafe technology with inductive charging most existing smartwatches on the market, such as pebble and metawatch, tend to last up to a week on a single charge the closest cook came to talking about the battery life for the watch was saying that users would ‘charge it at night’ during an interview in bloomberg business week, apple's senior vice president of operations jeff williams said: 'we want to make the best product in the world 'one of our competitors is on their fourth or fifth attempt, but nobody is wearing them' the company's chief executive added that the apple watch ‘can be worn all day, for any occasion,’ but hourly figures were notably absent a source said apple is unhappy with the watch's battery life, according to re/code another source confirmed to the technology site that that the battery life ‘is about a day now’ the watch has a completely new user interface (left), different from the iphone, and the 'crown' on the apple watch is a dial called the 'digital crown' (right) presented by chief executive tim cook the company's chief executive added the apple watch ‘can be worn all day, for any occasion,’ but hourly figures were notably absent the long lead time before the $349 (£216) product ships could mean the device will be more functional once it's released early next year a spokesperson for apple declined to provide battery details to mailonline and said they will be revealed closer to launch next year like many of apple’s other products, the apple watch appears to have a sealed back, which means the battery cannot be replaced this suggests that the entire $349 (£216) device will have to be replaced, once the battery eventually deteriorates from constant charging and use another concern is the launch of the health and activity tracking apps on the apple watch, which will rely on adequate battery life for round the clock monitoring companies including fitbit and withings have health trackers that are designed to be worn at night too, monitoring sleep patterns through movements however, if the watch has to be charged at night, vital health signs could be missed companies including fitbit and withings have health trackers that are designed to be worn at night too, monitoring sleep patterns through movements however, if the watch has to be charged at night, vital health signs could be missed by the gadget which apple says will ‘motivate people to be more active and more healthy’ apple did, however, spend some time talking about the watch's charging system, which combines apple’s magsafe technology with inductive charging apple’s silence on battery life suggests the company is still working to improve the feature the success of the device could hang on whether or not it manages to do it in time

sarah palin today defended a photo she shared of her six year old son trig standing on his service dog as she accused peta of a 'hypocritical double standard' for criticizing her for the image the former alaska governor spoke about the controversy on the today show on tuesday after the photo was met with outrage on social media and by peta, who described her as a 'callous woman' she said that she thought it was appropriate to share the photo, which showed her son trig, who has down syndrome, standing on his dog, jill hadassah, so that he could reach the sink 'trig's service dog is a strong, trained dog that does really, really love his best buddy trig, and they put up with each other and there was no harm at all to this dog,' she said on tuesday scroll down for video refusing to back down: sarah palin appeared on the today show on tuesday morning to defend a photograph she had shared to facebook showing her son standing on his service dog she had shared the photo to her facebook page on january 1 with a message for the new year 'may 2015 see every stumbling block turned into a stepping stone on the path forward,' she wrote 'trig just reminded me he, determined to help wash dishes with an oblivious mama not acknowledging his signs for 'up!', found me and a lazy dog blocking his way he made his stepping stone' peta released a statement saying; 'it's odd that anyone — let alone a mother — would find it appropriate to post such a thing, with no apparent sympathy for the dog in the photo' on the today show, she slammed the organization 'i thought, absolutely hypocritical double standard, as usual, applied to, i don't know, perhaps a constitutional conservative,' she told savannah guthrie in another facebook message, palin had asked why peta has never objected to the actions of other celebrities including ellen degeneres, who previously shared a similar picture, and president obama, who admitted to eating dog when he was a child outrage: peta was upset over this photo of six year old trig palin (above) standing on the family dog, jill inspiring: the intial post was meant to inspire people at the start of 2015 by showing trig's resilience 'at least trig didn't eat the dog,' she wrote on the today show on tuesday, she defended the line when guthrie asked if it was a cheap shot 'oh heck no, that was the best line in the post that i wrote,' she said 'it was the kickoff line' the comment was in reference to obama's admission years ago that as a child in indonesia he did once eat dog meat, and he later mocked palin at the 2012 white house correspondents' dinner saying: 'what's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? a pit bull is delicious' she added on the today show that left wing radicals 'look at him as their messiah but he as a child, probably the same age as trig, did much worse than use the dog as a stepping stool' in her post, palin also asked why peta never attacked ellen degeneres peta's woman of the year in 2009 for a photo on her instagram page showing of a child standing on her dog to brush her teeth that child, a little girl, does appear to be much younger and smaller thantrig she admitted she and the organization agree on one thing 'respecting god's creation and critters' but added that they probably weren't too happy that she enjoyed hunting her food old news: palin says that at least her son 'didn't eat the dog,' and then goes on to say that president obama (above) 'enjoys eating dog meat' he once admitted he had eaten dog as a child in indonesia loved: palin insisted that the family loves all of their pets and called trig jill's 'best buddy' still, she gushed about the animals the family keep in the house 'our pets, including trig's best buddy jill hadassah, are loved, spoiled and cared for more than some people care for their fellow man whose politics may not mesh with nonsensical liberally failed ways or don't fit your flighty standards,' she wrote on the today show, she also explained the dog's odd name, jill hadassah 'i had a roommate in college named jill, loved her, always wanted a jill, and then hadassah, that's a jewish name for esther,' she said 'i love in the bible, the book of esther i didn't have a sixth kid, but had a dog, and finally i got to use those names' dear peta, chill at least trig didn't eat the dog hey, by the way, remember your 'woman of the year', ellen degeneres? did you get all wee wee'd up when she posted this sweet picture? hypocritical, much? did you go as crazy when your heroic man of your lifetime, barack obama, revealed he actually enjoyed eating dead dog meat? aren't you the double standard radicals always opposing alaska's iditarod – the last great race honoring dogs who are born to run in wide open spaces, while some of your pets 'thrive' in a concrete jungle where they're allowed outdoors to breathe and pee maybe once a day? aren't you the same herd that opposes our commercial fishing jobs, claiming i encourage slaying and consuming wild, organic healthy protein sources called 'fish'? (i do) aren't you the same anti beef screamers blogging hate from your comfy leather office chairs, wrapped in your fashionable leather belts above your kickin' new leather pumps you bought because your celebrity idols (who sport fur and crocodile purses) grinned in a tabloid wearing the exact same louboutins exiting sleek cowhide covered limo seats on their way to some liberal fundraiser shindig at some sushi bar that features poor dead smelly roe (that i used to strip from our bristol bay caught fish, and in a dillingham cannery i packed those castoff fish eggs for you while laughing with co workers about the suckers paying absurdly high prices to party with the throw away parts of our wild seafood)? i believe you call those discarded funky eggs 'caviar' yeah, you're real credible on this, peta a shame, because i'll bet we agree on what i hope is the true meaning of your mission – respecting god's creation and critters our pets, including trig's best buddy jill hadassah, are loved, spoiled and cared for more than some people care for their fellow man whose politics may not mesh with nonsensical liberally failed ways or don't fit your flighty standards jill is a precious part of our world so is trig sarah palin

there are only 15 minutes of daylight left when we arrive at our lodge deep in the heart of brazil's pantanal 'are you ready for a little walk?' asks our handsome young guide, diogo a few squirts of insect repellent later, and we're heading down a reddish dirt track and suddenly it's like a fly past and a fashion show and a circus performance all at once but there is nothing contrived about any of it wet and wonderful: the pantanal region is a version of brazil far removed from the beaches of rio diogo points out two hyacinth macaws canoodling in a palm tree, their astonishing blue feathers occasionally wafting in the softest of breezes two burrowing owls stand to attention on the ground near their nest a great brown hawk glides above us, and a dozen or so chirping parakeets whizz over our heads a motley crew of wild pigs scamper about, and near the lake we can see several capybara, the world's biggest rodent, emerging from the lagoon click, click, job done but this is only the amuse bouche of a feast of birds, animals, fauna and flora, sunsets, lakes and much needed education that awaits us in this unique marshy wetland, the world's biggest floodplain (greater than the size of britain), where you'll find the largest macaws, the tallest storks, the biggest collection of caimans and gagarin and some species of birds and creepy crawlies that look like they've been dreamed up by boffins on psychedelic drugs now you see me, now you don't: the jaguar is one of the pantanal's most exciting and elusive residents the pantanal is pretty much in the centre of south america we are staying on a farm belonging to roberto klabin, a paper baron from sao paulo it is about a four hour drive from campo grande you take a straight road out of town, and after some three hours you are on a track for the last hour, we see only one other vehicle before arriving in the caiman ecological refuge there are 53,000 hectares and 35,000 brahma cattle on klabin's land and, by the sounds of it, this is a labour of love a place of mists and fruitfulness: the pantanal is at its most beautiful when the morning fog rises climate change sceptics might scoff, but i can sense the anxiety in diogo's demeanour when he tells us how the four defining seasons in the pantanal are nothing like as defined as they once were we are here in march, but the rains have not yet arrived and this could be catastrophic if it becomes a trend the flooding is essential in a single day, the pantanal can get 178 billion litres of rain water which is equal to the volume of all bottled water sold every day worldwide two big projects are ongoing in this remarkable wilderness waiting for the rains to fall: miniature lagoons appear in the surface of the pantanal during the dry season one is all about saving the macaws and the results are spectacular twenty years ago there were only 1,500 of these wonderful birds in the whole of the pantanal, today there are 6,000 but there's not much margin for error the macaws nest in only one kind of tree and eat only one kind of nut as chicks they have many predators, and they produce only one chick per year they are partners for life, often together for more than 35 years the other main project is to do with the jaguar diogo and his colleagues speak about these beautiful animals with such reverence that we long to see one but, alas, we are unlucky the best time to see them is during the dry season from june to october, during the brazilian winter saddle up: cattle rearing is an important and visible profession in this most spectacular of regions our room is simple, with a small balcony where a hammock has pride of place looking out across the lagoon one evening, as dusk falls, we go on a canoe safari, after being seen off by a giant motionless caiman with his jaws locked open i am convinced he's made of plastic and is put there whenever there are visitors but then i get within a couple of yards and he swishes his tail, raises his head and disappears into the water after 24 hours alone in the lodge we get a rare sighting: two elderly germans we find it hard not to ask what on earth they are doing here but they turn out to be enthusiastic, valuable additions to our team up before the beak: fabulous feathered creatures including the toucan are on show in the pantanal they come with us on a night drive when we see giant anteaters (they are almost deaf and blind — the anteaters that is, not the germans), hoovering up food as if they haven't eaten for days, when we know that pretty much all they do is eat 'this is the most peaceful place i have ever been,' says my wife one morning she's right this is communing with nature like nowhere else on earth south america specialist the ultimate travel company (020 3051 8098, wwwtheultimatetravelcompanycouk) offers the 16 day ultimate brazil trip, including a stay at rio's copacabana palace and three nights at caiman lodge in the pantanal, from £5,950 per person

forgiveness: at the time, vernon claimed under oath that he saw jackson pull the trigger even though he was actually several blocks away on a school bus but in 2013, he went back on his testimony dramatically changing his account, he said: 'all the information was fed to me i don't have any knowledge about what happened at the scene of the crime' now, following jackson's release on november

alongside two other men who have both since been exonerated: wiley bridgeman, 60, and kwame ajamu although at the time, police had no physical evidence to link the trio to the killing, they had testimony from vernon, who claimed to have seen jackson shoot franks with the help of the other two the trio were initially sentenced to death, but their sentences were commuted to life in 1978 after a supreme court ruling they all spent years behind bars at cuyahoga county jail indeed, jackson's sentence was the longest served for a wrongful conviction in us history thankful: although at the time, police had no physical evidence to link jackson to the killing, they had testimony from vernon, who claimed to have seen him shoot franks above, jackson finds out he has been exonerated

into testifying and gave him details of the case, clevelandcom reported 'they knew that i didn't see anything,' he said 'everybody knew it was a lie all these years i've been holding this shame and guilt inside, wanting to come forward and do the right thing' vernon whose unreliable testimony was highlighted in an article by cleveland scene magazine in 2011 eventually confided in his pastor, anthony singleton he said he had initially fingered jackson because he had seen him around the neighborhood in good spirits: jackson is pictured shaking hands with well wishers following his exoneration in november also free: kwame ajamu (pictured) and wiley bridgeman (left) were also exonerated for the killing of franks when he dismissed jackson's case in november, judge richard

he is still my son sabrina says her methods of coping with the death of her baby son help give her the strength to carry on sabrina survived her first christmas after jamie's stillbirth by buying a present and taking it to his grave 'i went shopping and picked up a few bits and for those few hours i felt some peace and then joy when i took them home and placed them on his shelf 'it was just my way of saying to him 'you are gone but i am still thinking of you' six months later, the first christmas she had been dreading arrived and miss mckenna said spending £200 on a remote control toy and cuddly characters eased her pain she said: 'i took them to his grave to show him it got me through the day, so i was grateful' she now runs half marathons to raise money for neonatal death charity sands sabrina's family and close friends supported her decision but others failed to understand a year after the birth, she decided to arrange a 'birthday party' to mark jamie's anniversary she booked a bouncy castle and invited family and friends who also brought presents for jamie miss mckenna said: 'i was so moved that people understood and it turned what could have been the most horrific day into a happy one how can anyone say this is wrong?' but several people started to make nasty comments after miss mckenna began posting images of her son's toys online she reveals that she has been labelled a freak and a weirdo and told to 'forget and move on' she said: 'it's heartbreaking because people don't have to look 'why shouldn't i do something that makes that pain just a little easier' the former factory worker, who runs half marathons to raise money for neonatal death charity sands, has not been able to work since losing her son and pays for his gifts using money saved from her benefits this year, she spent £300 on toys and a bike for christmas – her third without him she said: 'i will never get the chance to do all the things i wanted to do for jamie this is the only way i can express my love 'i hope that one day i will feel strong enough to donate all of his wonderful toys to charity 'i love the idea of other children getting pleasure from the things i have bought for jamie but until then they will stay in his room 'i wish he was there too but nothing can change that 'all i can do is continue in the way i have found that makes life easier and if you don't want to try and least to understand then please just look the other way instead of posting nasty messages 'i just hope the people that are ridiculing me never have to understand what it feels like to lose a much wanted baby' according to the neonatal death charity sands, each year in the uk over 6,500 babies die just before, during or soon after birth that’s 17 babies every day stillbirth rates in the uk haven't changed since the late 1990s, with one in every 200 births ending in stillbirth one in every 300 babies dies within the first four weeks of life more than 90 per cent of babies who are stillborn have no congenital abnormality around a third of stillbirths are unexplained and occur with perfectly formed, normal sized babies one in three stillbirths happen at near term when babies could survive if they were delivered visit uk sandsorg for more information

a mysterious glowing orb has been filmed breaking away from an unidentified meteorite like object as it streaked across the sky above california the unusual object can be seen moving through the sky leaving a long tail behind that is characteristic of space debris or a meteorite burning up in the atmosphere but after a few seconds a second round object separates from the main fireball and moves off in the opposite direction mystery balls: the orb broke apart and two pieces moved in opposite directions above southern california ufo hunters have claimed the bright orb may have been some sort of escape pod from a crashing ship however, others have said it is more likely to have been a meteorite breaking apart in the atmosphere there have been several sightings of meteorite fireballs in the us over the past week, with many reports coming from california there have been some suggestions that this may be a meteorite passing through earth's atmosphere especially considering the quadrantids meteorite shower is currently at its peak however, most experts think it is travelling too slow to be a meteorite they usually travel much faster it could also be a man made spacecraft re entering earth's atmosphere but, as ben biggs of all about space points out, if it was a large spacecraft then we'd probably know about it california is also near nevada, home of the top secret base area 51, so it could be some sort of military project the predominant theory at the moment, though, is that it is simply a hoax all the more likely as there are no other videos of the event if it had been real, it is likely that it would have been seen and captured on video by many people, not just one the past couple of days have also seen astronomers enjoying the peak of the annual quadrantids meteor shower the fireball was spotted by ken roberts while he was driving home from work in southern california he said: 'i was driving home after work when this ufo or whatever you call it caught my eye 'i pulled over in front of somebody's house to film it i would have got a better shot but i didn't want to jump these people's fence 'anyway i don't know what the hell to make of it couldn't have been a plane cause there was no noise and i never heard a crash after either 'the orb thing flew straight up into the sky and disappeared' he posted the video on youtube on monday evening but did not say when or where the footage had been filmed, other than the general area of california ‘i think it could be something re entering and bits coming off it,’ said ben biggs, editor of all about space magazine ‘however, if it was a big spacecraft then we’d probably know about it ‘could it be a meteorite? it’s a bit slow to be one as they normally travel much faster through the atmosphere, although we are at the peak of the quadrantids meteor shower ‘it could also simply be some clever photoshop, especially considering there don’t seem to be any other videos of the event which would surely have been seen by many people 'also, california is right next to nevada, home of the top secret base inside area 51 there's always a chance that this is some military project gone awry' reports of a fireball above california were received by the american meteor society on 3 january 2015 the video shows around 30 seconds of footage of the ufo before cutting off abruptly and showing a black screen for the final two minutes according to the ufo news site openminds, the smaller orb breaking away from the main fireball is 'peculiar' it said: 'the smaller orb ufo in this video behaves differently than typical meteorite debris' according to the american meteor society, there have been several reports of meteorites across the us over the past week it received more than 1,500 eyewitness accounts mainly in new york but some as far away as maine and california of a bright fireball passing through the sky on 29 december the society also said it has also received 17 reports from eyewitnesses in northern california of a fireball in the sky on 3 january the central intelligence agency has said that they are responsible for at least half of the ufo sightings reported in the 1950s and 60s the us agency explained that many ufo sightings over that period were directly correlated to tests on the u 2 spy plane the plane was being flown at altitudes of more than 60,000 feet, once thought an impossible height to fly at analysts at the cia soon realized that ufo sightings lined up with the place and time the u 2 planes were flying the cia admitted that many ufo sightings in the 1950s and 60s were tests on its u 2 spy plane (shown) however, they purposefully chose not to let people know that what they were seeing were not aliens but spies now u 2 planes are flown by the united states air force and 104 have been built in total in 2013 the cia officially acknowledged the existence of area 51 the site, a badly kept secret for decades, has fueled the imaginations of conspiracy theorists and ufo hunters around the world documents released by the cia confirmed the mysterious airbase existed and revealed its exact location in nevada official maps usually only show a disused mine at the site or a large area of restricted airspace, however it does feature on google maps and in satellite images the documents also revealed some strange goings on at the secret base but not the kind that ufo hunters have believed they revealed that among the jobs staff at the site had to perform during the 1960s was a routine of vacuuming the runway to allow the experimental u 2 aircraft to take off without damaging their engines eyewitnesses reported briefly seeing a fireball (top right) in the skies above new york on 29 december 2014 mike hankey, from the american meteor society, said: 'this video looks fake it was published on jan 5th and we had no reports of fireballs in southern california on jan 5th or jan 4th' one eyewitness calling themselves subramanian n described the fireball as having a green colour they said: 'i saw a secondary little fireball (very light) at the time of maximum brightness of the first fireball' others reported seeing a small flash as the fireball faded from view one said: 'some fragments seemed to emanate from the tail as it fell' one man from eagen, minnesota, reported seeing what he thought was a satellite in the sky that appeared to break into two objects writing on ufo website mutual ufo network (mufon), he said: 'as the object came next to the moon there was an extremely brief flash from its right side and a momentary trail and secondary object, that looked like a yellow/green fireball slightly larger than the first object, as if shot out or ejected, was observed for less than a second 'the primary light continued on its straight path for another second or two and then disappeared 'i am unsure if what i observed and laid out in my narrative is what happened or if some light phenomenon caused by the satellite passing by the brilliantly lit half moon created an effect that i saw' however, some commentators have have questioned whether the latest video is genuine and may have been digitally edited after filming the annual quandratid meteor shower (seen here above banff national park, canada) reached its peak on monday and may be responsible for the increase in sightings of fireballs and meteorites in recent days mr roberts did not respond to questions put to him by the mailonline his youtube account contains only one other video that was uploaded on the same day as the ufo video and claims to be a film of seagulls in new york nigel watson, author of the ufo investigation manual, said regardless of what it was, the video has got ufo believers excited he said: 'this could be a meteor or space junk crashing back to earth, but what the so called 'white orb' leaving it has certainly got ufo believers excited 'they wonder if it is an escape pod being ejected from a crashing ufo 'at first it just looks like something falling out of the trail of the object, but it carries on under its own power rather than falling away as you might expect 'it makes me wonder if it is a completely different object that just looks as if it is coming out of this fireball trail 'whatever these events are, they are very unusual even if they are not flying saucers occupied by little green men plunging to earth in a spectacular fashion' giles sparrow, a space and astronomy journalist, said that while unusual, the orb was probably part of a meteorite fireball breaking apart as it entered the atmosphere he said: 'it's almost certainly a fireball breaking apart in the upper atmosphere 'these things have been floating about in space for billion of years, and their interiors are very, very cold 'they formed from dust grains clumping together in the solar system, and often have cracks and weak spots that can break them apart when their surfaces suddenly heat up it just so happens that in this case, the crack was in the right place enough to send a large fragment flying off in the other direction' he added that the fireball appears to be moving slowly across the sky due to perspective it is filmed from and because of the time of day it was filmed he said: 'meteoroids approaching earth's 'trailing' hemisphere as it moves through space have to 'catch up' with our planet before they enter the atmosphere' nick howes, pro am coordinator at the faulkes telescope project, added: 'i'd guess a re entry of some space junk if i were a betting man 'it's burning up in the upper atmosphere, indicating a high velocity, it does appear to be moving 'slowly' which may be due to the angle from which footage was taken'

imagine ever time you took a plane journey, the aircraft was scrapped and a new one was built for your next flight that's the scenario facing space travel at the moment, with every part of a modern rocket that is sent to space either burning up in the atmosphere or being scrapped in an ocean on earth but now that could be set to change, as after launching at 1120am gmt (620am est) today spacex will attempt to return part of a rocket to a floating barge, ushering in an age of reusability at least, that was the plan but a fault with the second stage of the rocket meant the launch had to be cancelled during the countdown, and they will have to try again on friday at 1009am gmt (509am est) scroll down for video spacex was planning to land a falcon 9 rocket on a barge (shown) at cape canaveral today the rocket would have attempted to land nine minutes after launching a dragon capsule at 1120am gmt (620am est), but the launch had to be postponed due to an unknown issue in their live feed for the launch nasa said the failure was due to an 'actuator drift issue' with the second stage of the rocket it is thought to have been an in issue with the thrust vector control for the rocket, which controls the direction of the thrust this meant that during the countdown to launch, the fault was flagged up in the system and the countdown could not proceed communications director for spacex john taylor told mailonline: ‘during the terminal count engineers observed drift on one of the two thrust vector actuators on the second stage that would likely have caused an automatic abort the falcon 9 rocket carrying dragon will take off from florida’s cape canaveral air force station after launch, at a height of about 56 miles (90km), the first stage of the rocket will separate from the second stage while the latter continues its mission into orbit, the former would usually be left to fall back into the ocean as is the case on all other rocket launches this is a costly operation causing the price of launches to top £280 million ($440 million) spacex, however, is attempting to develop rockets that can make soft landings back on earth so they can be recovered and recycled this could bring the cost of launching to space down by at least a factor of ten making it much more accessible eventually they also plan to return the second stage from orbit, allowing them to reassemble the rocket on the ground for another launch ‘engineers called a hold in order to take a closer look spacex is scrubbed for today and we are now targeting launch on 9 january at 5:09am est (1009am gmt)’ the launch of the falcon 9 rocket will take place from cape canaveral in florida it will be carrying the unmanned dragon capsule on its fifth scheduled cargo mission (crs 5) to the iss and sixth flight to the station overall under contract with nasa but while that is an achievement in itself, of more interest is spacex’s plan after the launch the attempted landing of the first stage of the rocket is expected about nine minutes after take off it will attempt to land on the autonomous spaceport drone ship (asds), which is essentially a barge, in the pacific ocean while there are cameras on the asds, it’s unlikely spacex will stream the landing attempt live, as they are unsure how successful the attempt will be ceo elon musk has said previously he thinks there is only a 50 per cent chance of success however, successful or not, the test will be hugely important for the age of reusability the various stages of rockets are normally left to fall into the ocean or burn up in the atmosphere after reaching space spacex, though, wants to eventually make entire rockets reusable like an airplane allowing them to launch, land and then launch again this mission will be a crucial step in that endeavour the company has already tested the technology to land a rocket in a series of tests using the grasshopper concept vehicle this was a rocket attached with landing legs that performed short ‘hops’ on earth, to a height of a few hundred metres, to test the technology needed to land and this time that same technology will be used to bring the rocket back from the edge of space the incredible attempt will occur during the launch of the latest cargo carrying dragon capsule to the iss, called the crs 5 mission, from florida’s cape canaveral air force station pictured is a previous falcon 9 launch on 14 july 2014 when spacex tested the ability of the rocket to land, but over the ocean for now spacex is attempting to return only the first stage the lower portion of a rocket after launching in future, they are hoping to return the entire rocket to ground one of the key technologies in returning rockets will be 'grid fins', which are four small aerodynamical wings that extend from the rocket as it descends on a previous launch to space on 14 july this year, the company employed grid fins on a falcon 9 rocket for the first time they were able to bring the first stage of the rocket back to earth and they performed a practice landing over the ocean without a floating barge shortly before hitting the ocean it reignited its thrusters, proving that the rocket could successfully turn itself back on and perform a landing on this occasion the rocket, after performing this test, simply fell into the ocean but this next test will be a huge step towards reusability ‘returning anything from space is a challenge, but returning a falcon 9 first stage for a precision landing presents a number of additional hurdles,’ the company said in a statement ‘at 14 stories tall and traveling upwards of 1,300 metres (nearly one mile) per second, stabilising the falcon 9 first stage for re entry is like trying to balance a rubber broomstick on your hand in the middle of a wind storm’ the first stage of the falcon 9 rocket will attempt to touch down on a barge (illustration shown) after launching a dragon capsule into space it is the first ever attempt at landing a rocket on solid ground after launch, and could herald a new era of cheaper spaceflight the barge measures about 300 feet (90 metres) long by 100 feet (30 metres) wide, and also has wings that extend out to another 170 feet (50 metres) according to spacex chief elon musk, it also has ‘thrusters repurposed from deep sea oil rigs’ that can hold it in position within 10 feet (three metres) even in a storm to control the rocket as it lands, the grid fins on its side control its pitch, yaw and roll these are ‘stowed on ascent and then deploy on re entry for “x wing” [from star wars] style control,’ according to musk and to slow it down as it descends it will save 15 per cent of its original fuel, allowing it to lower itself towards the ocean without the use of a parachute grid fins (seen here) on the side of the first stage of the rocket will keep it steady as it descends to earth, while it will save 15 per cent of its initial fuel in order to lower itself slowly to the ground whatever the outcome, spacex will use the data they glean to improve their technique and one day plan to perform this manoeuvre during every launch cameras on board the barge will capture the entire descent, although it’s unclear how much if any of this footage spacex will make public eventually, they will start bringing the upper or second stage of the rocket back as well the ultimate goal is to make the entire rocket reusable which will drastically reduce the cost of going to space spacex has a £1billion ($16 billion) contract with nasa to resupply the iss this launch of the dragon capsule will be the fifth of 12 scheduled missions elon musk (pictured) said the ambitious attempt has a 50 per cent chance of working spacex ultimately wants all of its rockets to be reusable in order to reduce the cost of going to space the launch of the falcon 9 rocket had originally been scheduled for late december however, the launch was delayed then when some issues arose during a static fire test which involves a brief ignition of the rocket’s nine engines on the launchpad to test they work the reason the delay was so long, until january, is that the iss moved into a period of increased sunlight for 10 days from 28 december to 7 january, the station was in almost constant light this prohibited dragon from berthing with the station, as temperatures were too high if all goes to plan after the launch, dragon will then rendezvous with the iss at 11am gmt (6am est) on thursday 8 january ‘nasa and spacex announced today the launch of spacex’s fifth commercial resupply services mission to the international space station now will occur no earlier than tuesday 6 january,’ nasa said previously in a statement ‘this will provide spacex engineers time to investigate further some of the issues that arose from the static fire test of the falcon 9 rocket on 16 december’ they added: 'the new launch date also will allow the teams to enjoy the holidays' the barge (shown) measures about 300 feet (90 metres) long by 100 feet (30 metres) wide, and also has wings that extend out to another 170 feet (50 metres) this launch of the falcon 9 will be carrying spacex’s unmanned dragon capsule on its fifth scheduled cargo mission to the iss and sixth flight to the station overall under contract with nasa the spacecraft is pictured here berthed with the iss on a previous cargo mission

spacex has had to cancel their latest rocket launch after a fault they had been planning to land part of a falcon 9 on a barge today the next launch attempt will be 1009am gmt (509am est) on friday spacex said an 'actuator drift issue' meant launch had to be aborted this was a problem with the second stage of the rocket, although the exact reason for the cancellation is not yet known ‘engineers called a hold in order to take a closer look,' spacex communications director john taylor told mailonline the attempt would have taken place nine minutes after launch at 1120am gmt from cape canaveral in florida it is the first ever attempt at landing a rocket on solid ground after launch ceo elon musk said the ambitious attempt has a 50% chance of working the company ultimately wants all of its rockets to be reusable

google might have set the ball rolling with their prototype self driving car, but it doesn’t exactly set the pulse racing with its looks so step in mercedes, who have unveiled a sleek and stylish vehicle that they say could be the future of autonomous cars revealed in a presentation at the consumer electronics show (ces) in las vegas, the f015 concept boasts rotating pedestal seats, carriage style doors and of course, self driving capability scroll down for video german company mercedes has unveiled their concept self driving car (shown) called the f015 it has wide wheels to maximise

in a unique way the german car maker sent its self driving car on a 550 mile (885km) journey from san francisco to las vegas the german auto giant calls its self driving technology ‘piloted driving’, and insists the sensors and equipment demonstrated in the vehicle are ‘production ready’ as a result, the company claims it is on course to put driverless cars into commercial production as soon as next year mercedes said they wanted to focus on some of the other aspects aside from just the technology that drives it, though and that led them to design a concept that might more resemble what self driving cars of the future will look like ‘anyone who focuses solely on the technology has not yet grasped how autonomous driving will change our society,’ said mr zetsche ‘the car is growing beyond its role as a mere means of transport and will ultimately become a mobile living space' the luxury sedan, which seats four, measures 17ft (52 metres) in length and 5ft (15 metres) high it is made of

bread has almost become synonymous with the word bloating and 20 per cent of britons think they'd be better off without it but they may nearly all be wrong and staying away from bread could do more harm than good, a panel of experts has warned they argue that research has shown bread produces less bloating than pasta, and what makes us fat is not the sandwich, but the filling unfairly maligned: experts say bread doesn't cause bloating but the fatty fillings many of us adore may cause weight gain moreover, while bread is often singled out as a bloating culprit, the evidence continues to show that this is more perception than reality the list of celebrities who refuse to touch gluten is long gwyneth won't let it pass her lips and madonna swears avoiding gluten is what keeps her young although 98 per cent of britons say they eat bread, many blame it for bloating and weight gain, and think they would be better off going gluten free and while 20 per cent think it’s important to eat gluten and wheat free, just 05 per cent of the population has gluten intolerance this means many could be losing out on vital nutrition such as fibre, iron and calcium by avoiding bread banned by the a list: many celebrities, such as madonna and gwyneth paltrow, claim they maintain their trim figures by avoiding gluten containing products, such as bread in fact, gluten free products can actually be higher in additives, saturated fat and sugar, ayela spiro from the british nutrition foundation, told a london conference of dieticians and nutritionists discussing bloating this month at king's college london she also cited a new (as yet unpublished) study from the university of bristol, which showed bread produced less physically measurable abdominal bloating than a pasta meal, despite diners saying they expected the bread would bloat them more sue baic, of the british dietetic association, added it is a common misconception that bread is fattening 'it's what goes on the bread that is most harmful to our waistlines,' she argued hidden enemy: fatty sandwich fillings such as egg mayo are more likely to cause weight gain than the bread that surrounds them, experts say two average slices of bread provide around 190 calories and 2g of fat, but spreading margarine or butter on them almost doubles the calories (334 calories) and adds 16g fat furthermore, the nation’s favourite sandwich filling – egg mayonnaise – provides just under 600 calories and a huge 34g of fat, which is almost half the recommended daily intake for a woman ms baic added that many people assume white bread is bad for us, but this is not the case, saying: 'the half and half types such as hovis best of both, that look and taste like white but combine white and wholemeal flours can contain 75 per cent of the fibre content of wholemeal' 'as well as being a good source of calcium, iron and fibre, two slices of bread contain 20 30 per cent of our recommended nutrient intake of vitamin b1 [and other vital nutrients] 'at just 5 10p per two slice serving it’s a very inexpensive way to get some good nutrition in your diet' lesser thief: bread was found to be less bloating than a bowl of pasta so if it’s not bread that causes bloating, what does? gastroenterologist, psychotherapist and medical adviser to the ibs network, dr nick read said that 'bloaters' may just be more sensitive to the feeling of abdominal gas, but not actually produce more of it 'possible risk factors for bloating include obesity, anxiety or depression, being inactive, constipated or premenstrual, and, in those with irritable bowel syndrome, eating too many fermentable carbohydrate sources in general, not just wheat,' he added for example, some people with ibs may react with bloating on consumption of wheat but this is possibly more likely due to the presence of fructans found in many foods including onions, artichokes, asparagus and leeks rather than gluten, the panel concluded

as recently as march fabian delph addressed his england chances as a welterweight might think about beating a fighter of heavyweight class; hopeful, but not investing too much faith the aston villa midfielder, a big boxing fan, had just scored a delightful back heeled winner against chelsea but in typically humble, matter of fact manner rowed back from suggestions that roy hodgson could come calling ‘it’s every players’ ambition to represent their country,’ said delph back then ‘but i think i might be a bit away from that there seems to be a lot of quality midfield players who are english who are above me at the minute i’ll keep grafting and maybe one day’ big day: fabian delph will make his first start for england when they take on switzerland on monday night progress: delph (second right) made his debut for roy hodgson's side in the win over norway last week battle hardened: delph played the last 20 minutes against norway as england laboured to a 1 0 victory that day has arrived quicker than he anticipated after a promising cameo to win his first cap against norway at wembley, delph is set to start in switzerland as england begin their euro 2016 qualifying campaign the retirements of steven gerrard and frank lampard edged the door open, while jordan henderson’s injury has widened it further delph, who may still play even if the liverpool man recovers in time, is ready to stride through it may seem like a remarkably quick rise to an important role but the bradford born midfielder, 24, has been earmarked for international honours ever since his days as a teenage starter at leeds it was there he would kick gus poyet during early training sessions – ‘he’d go crazy, speaking in spanish to me i learnt a few words i can’t use’ – and there he scored an outrageous goal from near the half way line against stockport county in december 2008 arsene wenger came close to signing delph but ultimately it was martin o’neill who paid an initial £6million to take him to villa in 2009 just eight months later he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and was out for nearly a year during that time he constantly questioned those treating him to the point where he is now called doctor delph by team mates ‘i like to know what’s wrong with me i don’t just want to sit on the couch like a potato,’ he says delph’s game was put back though and little more than 18 months ago villa fans wondered about his impact on the team sometimes there were jeers but his resilience and talent saw him emerge and once fully fit he became the engine of paul lambert’s midfield, winning the club’s player of the year award last season flying in: delph impressed as a teenager at leeds having joined from bradford as a youth player young gun: delph spent three years at leeds before moving to villa where he took time to establish himself a thunderous goal at southampton was the highlight, yet it was his energy, work rate, and positive passing that helped villa arrest a slide that at one stage looked like it might end in relegation this summer he took only one week off before employing a personal trainer to increase his strength ‘the start of my career was dreadful,’ delph admits ‘probably the worst injury you can get in football is your anterior cruciate ligament, i also did my lateral meniscus, and my medial as well it’s been a tough road’ there were long journeys in childhood too delph grew up in a council estate with little money and would travel a six hour round trip to training at leeds single mum donna raised him and remains his inspiration ‘we never had a car so we would get three buses and a train,’ he says ‘my mum’s a massive influence, a great lady, a hard woman she wouldn’t let me come with any excuses’ such an upbringing has formed delph’s character both on and off the pitch in interviews he answers straight and thoughtfully and often with northern humour in midfield he is robust, but refined the late tackles have become less frequent but there is an edge to his style philippe senderos may provide swiss opposition and is aware of delph’s ability 'he will bring his energy, his power, his will to move forward all the time,’ says the villa defender for the past months delph has been getting acquainted with fatherhood alongside partner natalie as they raise baby girl sofia such maturity is bound to have an impact on his profession he adds: ‘you never forget where you come from i wouldn’t change anything from when i was a young lad you learn a few things when you’re that age; to strive for better’ club call: delph's impressive form for aston villa earned him a call up to the england squad agony: delph reacts after missing a chance during villa's 2 1 win over hull this season

it was the moment millions of broadchurch fans had waited almost two years for but the much anticipated return of the itv crime drama left many baffled – and not just by the plot some who tuned in for the start of the second series on monday night complained they struggled to understand actor david tennant’s scottish accent to the extent that they were forced to turn on the tv subtitles scroll down for video viewers complained about david tennant mumbling during the second series of broadchurch on itv last night and said they had to use subtitles on their televisions to understand the actor who plays di alec hardy and first time viewers were left baffled by the complex storyline as producers did not begin with a summary of what had happened in the first series – which ended in april 2013 – even though the new series picks up where that left off while the opening episode, which had an audience of 72million, drew widespread praise and was quickly being talked about on twitter, many viewers said they had difficulty deciphering some of the dialogue one wrote: ‘still couldn’t understand a word they were saying in broadchurch tonight – i need someone to translate the heavily accented mumbling’ another added: ‘challenge: try to watch broadchurch without subtitles failed’ others singled out tennant, who plays dour detective inspector alec hardy, saying: ‘david tennant needs subtitles, with that accent don’t understand a word he says’ many viewers complained about having to use subtitles to understand tennant's mumbling on the show tennant and coleman, who plays ds ellie miller, were in court as ds miller's husband denied murder this is not the first time tennant’s voice has caused problems he also starred in gracepoint, the us remake of broadchurch, with his american accent failing to impress both critics and audiences on monday night, many broadchurch viewers were left scratching their heads – and not in the way the programme makers intended fans said the show was confusing and complained that there had been no recap of the first series at the start this left new viewers lost, while many who were avid watchers of the old series nearly two years ago were unable to remember the details needed to follow the plot one tweeted: ‘may as well have not watched the last series of broadchurch, not a clue who’s who or what’s happening’ viewers complained about the accents of many of the cast members as well as the loud background noise joe miller pleaded not guilty to the murder of danny latimer, 11, despite his confession in the last show another added: ‘anyone else watching broadchurch and can’t remember who everyone is or what went on last series?’ one broadchurch mystery was instantly seized on by the gloomy drama’s more light hearted fans – why are there so many former doctor who stars in the cast? they pointed out that seven had previously appeared in the bbc sci fi series david tennant played the doctor for five years while arthur darvill – the rev paul coates in broadchurch – had a long running role as one of the time traveller’s companions olivia colman has been a guest star, as has jonathan bailey, who plays journalist olly stevens in the itv drama three others in the new series appeared in doctor who, including eve myles, who was also in the spin off, torchwood many fans used social media to highlight this crossover one wrote: ‘do broadchurch only cast actors who’ve appeared in doctor who/doctor who spin offs?’ another added: ‘broadchurch, where dr who actors go on leaving the tardis, apparently’ others joked that broadchurch had become a ‘retirement home’ for doctor who stars and wrote ‘i reckon dr who did it’ the first series, set in a fictional dorset seaside town, involved the hunt for the killer of 11 year old danny latimer detective sergeant ellie miller, played by olivia colman, and di hardy – who moved to the area from another force after his previous investigation fell apart in court – investigated numerous suspects before the killer was exposed, in a shocking twist, to be ds miller’s husband joe monday’s episode began in court with miller surprising everyone by entering a not guilty plea some viewers said the programme was unrealistic as retired barrister jocelyn knight, played by charlotte rampling, was given the job of prosecuting miller one lawyer said: ‘completely unrealistic court scenes and how counsel are appointed in murder cases – can’t itv afford researchers?’ itv said it had received ‘fewer than five’ complaints about mumbled dialogue it added that although no recap of the first series was broadcast on monday, a four minute clip recounting the plot had been circulated via social media and was available on the itv website of alleged legal inaccuracies in the plot, an itv spokesman said: ‘we consult extensively with advisers, but also have to balance what we consider to be the best creative decision for the drama – and the audience ‘we’re thrilled that we’ve had such a positive response’

the mystery of what happened to a historic stradivarius violin stolen in a stun gun attack has been revealed as milwaukee police recovered the instrument this week the violin, built in 1715 by antonio stradivari and valued at $5 million, was found hidden in a suitcase in the attic of a man who had no idea the instrument was there, police say the heist has been blamed in part on an art thief who once tried to sell a statue back to the gallery he had stolen it from scroll down for video recovered: the lipinski stradivarius was found hidden in a suitcase in an attic suspects: salah jones, left, and universal knowledge allah, right, have been arrested over the theft three people have been arrested in the case, and milwaukee police chief ed flynn said there was no evidence of other 'shadowy' figures from the art world being behind the theft 'it appears we had a local criminal who had an interest in art theft and was smart enough to develop a plan for a robbery,' flynn said 'beyond that, we don't know what his motive was' the violin, which police said appeared to be in good condition, was stolen last week from concert violinist frank almond, who was shocked with a stun gun his attacker grabbed the violin and hopped into a waiting vehicle police traced the stun gun to universal knowledge allah, a 36 year old barber a citizen's tip led police to salah jones, the 41 year old convicted of stealing a $25,000 statue from a gallery at milwaukee's pfister hotel in 1995 officers had the men under surveillance before arresting them monday, along with a 32 year old woman who was later released from custody police also have not said what role each suspect had in the heist attack: violinist frank almond, pictured with the instrument, was hit by a stun gun during the robbery relief: frank almond, concert master of milwaukee symphony orchestra, is delighted his violin has been found milwaukee district attorney john chisholm said thursday that he expected to charge at least one of the suspects friday he said charges were delayed while prosecutors negotiated with one suspect for the return of the violin on wednesday night the suspect led police to the home of an acquaintance, who had allowed the suspect to store a suitcase in his attic concertmaster almond thanked police for finding the violin so quickly, and expressed gratitude at the emotional support he had received from the community 'it was truly heartening during what was obviously a very difficult time i could not have imagined a better outcome for this particular chapter in the violin's life and look forward to having it in my hands as soon as possible,' he told the chicago tribune it is not clear what the suspects planned to do with the violin such high value instruments are almost always well documented with photographs and easily identified, david bonsey, a new york based violin maker and appraiser who appears on antiques roadshow, said 'there's virtually no place that a violin like this can be taken and fenced,' bonsey said 'you can't take it to a pawn shop' some art collectors will buy stolen objects that they keep hidden for their own enjoyment, bonsey said but police chief flynn said there was no indication in this case of 'shadowy figures in the art world that were trying to purchase this' violin the violin, known in musical circles as the lipinski stradivarius because it was once played by polish violinist karol lipinski, has been appraised for insurance purposes at $5 million two milwaukee police officers guard the rare violin after it was recovered the rare stradivarius, valued at $5 million, was stolen at the end of january it has value as a musical instrument and as a work of art, bonsey said the violin is 'part of a body of work from someone whose work just cannot be imitated,' he said 'a lot of people do sculptures, but there's only one michelangelo' experts estimate 600 to 650 stradivarius instruments remain about half of what the master produced one of the most famous is the gibson strad, owned by virtuoso joshua bell it was stolen from carnegie hall in 1936 and not found until the violinist who stole it died in the 1980s fbi special agent david bass, an expert in art crime, said stradivarius thefts are reported every few years but most instruments are found a stradivarius stolen from a south korean musician in 2010 while she ate at a london sandwich shop was found about three years later at a property in central england three people were convicted in that theft attack: the violin was stolen from outside wisconsin lutheran college, where frank almond had been playing the lipinski stradivarius was taken from almond, concertmaster for the milwaukee symphony orchestra, as he walked to his car after a january 27 performance at wisconsin lutheran college mark niehaus, the orchestra's president and executive director, said the instrument appeared in good shape, but almond, who also teaches music at northwestern university in evanston, illinois has not yet seen it and had time to inspect it the lipinski stradivarius was crafted in 1715 by antonio stradiveri an early owner was composer guiseppe tartini, who gave it to his student, salvini salvini passed ownership to polish violinist karol lipinski after lipinski played for him, salvini is said to have smashed the musician's violin, before handing him the stradivarius and saying, 'try this instrument' after lipinski's death in 1861 the violin was acquired by engelbert röntgen, and it stayed with his family for three generations in the 1940s the violin was sent to cuba, where it was owned by a supporter of the havana symphony but after fleeing the revolution, the violinist was forced to sell the instrument so he could start a new life in the us it was bought in new york in 1962 by evi liivak, an estonian who played secret concerts to keep spirits raised during the nazi occupation in 2008, milwaukee symphony orchestra's frank almond was given the violin on permanent loan source: a violin's life the violin was on loan to almond by its owner such arrangements are common in classical music in part because most artists can't afford instruments worth millions of dollars the owners benefit as well because use keeps the instruments in good shape and can add to their value 'when famous people play these instruments it builds what we call the instrument's provenance,' bonsey said 'it adds to the value of the instrument down the road' the violin had been previously owned by a string of high profile musicians, including devil's trill composer giuseppe tartini, and polish violinist karol lipinski it had survived the cuban revolution, during which its sale helped a havana musician escape to the us, and was used in concerts across europe by a woman who escaped the nazis almond was offered the use of the violin in 2008, when a family clearing the estate of a dead relative contacted the concertmaster to ask his opinion of an instrument they had found in an interview with the violinist last year, almond recalled how he had at first been skeptical, saying that he is regularly contacted by people who believe they have found a rare instrument after meeting the owners, who showed him paperwork and old concert programs, mr almond was led to a bank vault where the precious violin had been stored for 20 years 'it turned out that they had put it in a bank vault a regular bank vault at m & i bank, which happened to be about, i'd say, 100 yards from the concert hall,' almond said 'it was ironic i'd been playing all the time in this hall, and there was a 1715 strad, down the street in a bank vault' craftsman: an illustration of antonio stradivari, who made the missing violin in 1715 origins: the violin's early owners included giuseppe tartini, left, and karol lipinski, right generations of music: the violin was also owned by engelbert rontgen, left, and evi liivak, right the violin had an impressive pedigree, and allowed mr almond to perform on an instrument once used by 'godfather of modern violin playing' tartini, and lipinski 'if you start thinking about everything behind that instrument, it's easy to feel quite tiny,' mr almond said in a previous interview 'sure, it was creepy to play the devil's trill sonata for the first couple times but that's what the violin is for: playing 'it's going to be here a lot longer than i am, and every day that i'm able to play on it, to me, it's amazing' its last owner had been a child prodigy from estonia, whose music studies in budapest were cut short when her father was killed by the gestapo evi liivak was known for playing secret concerts in bunkers to raise the spirits of those living under nazi oppression she took possession of the violin in new york in 1962, when her husband, a milwaukee pianist, bought it for $19,000 from a cuban who was forced to sell it after escaping havana its enticing history led mr almond to record a violin's life in tribute to it the cd features him playing pieces that had been composed or were associated with its various owners in the past 300 years

barcelona, with them conceding from a free kick and a corner the game remained ridiculously open in what was left of the first half – something that suited luiz the brazilian exists somewhere between

was now ticking down on barcelona’s unbeaten start to the season there were still two more big chances with alba shooting from inside the area only for marquinhos to throw himself in front of the

amid the fuss about jose mourinho’s return to lisbon, nemanja matic was forgotten at least, he was until the 34th minute when the former benfica midfielder appeared unmarked to head chelsea into the lead a less popular goalscorer it would have been hard to find inside sporting lisbon’s estadio jose alvalade matic used to play for their fierce city rivals and returned to spoil their first champions league home game in six years nemanja matic (second right) proved the matchwinner for chelsea, scoring the only goal in the 34th minute with a towering header at sporting lisbon matic's goal at sporting on tuesday night would have been doubly sweet for the serbian, who joined chelsea from their bitter rivals benfica matic (second left) is congratulated by cesc fabregas (centre) and the rest of his chelsea team mates after giving chelsea the lead sporting (4 3 3): patricio 7; cedric 6, mauricio 55 (oliveira 63, 6), sarr 5, jsilva 5; mario 6, carvalho 6, asilva 6 (montero 81); carrillo 65 (capel 81), slimani 6, nani 6 subs not used: marcelo, jefferson, martins, rosell bookings: carvalho, mario, cedric, mauricio manager: marco silva chelsea (4 2 3 1): courtois 6; ivanovic 6, cahill 6, terry 6, luis 65; matic 8, fabregas 7; schurrle 5 (willian 57, 6), oscar 75 (mikel 71, 6), hazard 7 (salah 84); costa 6 subs not used: cech, zouma, azpilicueta, remy bookings: ivanovic, hazard, luis filipe, fabregas manager: jose mourinho man of the match: nemanja matic referee: antonio lahoz (spain) attendance: 40,734 for chelsea it was a vital goal, giving them a grip on a game they had dominated without managing to punish sporting, with diego costa among those guilty of wastefulness, although not to the same degree as andre schurrle matic stepped forward to score his second of the season and his first champions league goal for the club he re joined in january for £21million it clinched chelsea three points and issued a reminder of how critical the tall serb has become to mourinho’s team while costa and eden hazard take acclaim for their work in front of goal, matic supplies the midfield power which allows them to attack with such freedom amid all the fuss about costa’s strike rate and hamstrings and hazard’s jinking dribbling skills, matic is easily overlooked here was the perfect moment to hail his contribution for he is every bit as important as the goals of costa or the jinking runs of hazard sporting were very disappointing until they went behind they appeared to freeze but generated more urgency and purpose in the second half, when chelsea’s defensive unit had to work to protect the lead matic weighed in with some of the more familiar unsung stuff, eating up the miles, disrupting the game’s rhythms, winning the ball and the londoners moved to the top of group g with back to back ties next against maribor of slovenia, who drew at schalke on tuesday night ‘we had to win,’ said captain john terry after his 100th champions league appearance ‘it puts us in control again’ nani and fredy montero both went close in a closing phase which had no right to be as nervy as it was for chelsea they squandered the chances to win comfortably, starting in the second minute when costa was released by oscar costa stormed clear on goal with oodles of time, perhaps too much time, and opted for a low shot which rui patricio saved with his left foot patricio went on to perform brilliantly and mourinho strode into his penalty area at the final whistle to offer his hand unlike aston villa boss paul lambert and his sidekick roy keane, portugal’s no 1 shook it ‘i’m not going to repeat what i said because the words would be censored,’ said the chelsea boss ‘it was something about spoiling the night’ diego costa (right) had a glorious chance to put chelsea ahead in their champions league group match at sporting lisbon, but he saw his shot saved by rui patricio the spain international reacts after missing a guilt edge chance to put the blues ahead when clean through on goal after two minutes of the match chelsea should have been in front soon after but andre schurrle (right) inexplicably dragged his shot wide when teed up by eden hazard chelsea boss jose mourinho cut a frustrated figure as his side threw away early opportunities to score at the estadio jose alvalade the match saw chelsea face a familiar opponent in winger nani (right) who is on loan at sporting lisbon from premier league rivals manchester united nani and mourinho shared brief pleasantries as the game unfolded on tuesday night in the portuguese capital after thwarting costa, patricio frustrated schurrle, who tried to sidle past him but the keeper scrambled across the turf to smother his shot he saved again from schurrle, a more routine catch from a header after naby sarr, who endured a torrid night, had been dispossessed, and again, to keep out a low strike from the edge of the box it was shaping up like the capital one cup tie against bolton when schurrle had a dozen shots and could not score midway through the first half he managed to screw an absolute sitter horribly wide mourinho spun towards the bench, throwing his hands in despair he knew chelsea must score during this dominant period the chance was made by hazard, who sped past sarr and picked out schurrle, arriving from deep, completely unmarked all he had to do was roll the ball into the net but somehow he missed the target oscar (centre) wasted another glorious chance to double chelsea's lead, seeing his shot saved by patricio (right) when through on goal early in the second half nani's (right) influence grew in the second half as sporting pressed for an equaliser against the 2012 winners sporting felt they should have had a penalty in the 68th minute when andre carrillo (right) fell under a challenge from cesc fabregas (left) costa was unceremoniously fouled by defender mauricio when charging through on goal against the portuguese side referee antonio miguel mateu lahoz (far left) booked the sporting defender (centre) for the challenge who had to be carried off on a stretcher as a result of his foul chelsea wastefulness kept sporting in the game and marco silva had them drilled to break at pace and numbers thibaut courtois was a bystander for much of the first half but alert to save from islam slimani when he needed to be pressure was eased by matic, when the serb found space in a crowded goalmouth to apply a firm header to a free kick delivered by cesc fabregas and looped over patricio into the far corner there were similarities to the winner scored by branislav ivanovic in the europa league final against benfica, when matic was on the beaten team chelsea had a lead and went after the second, but it was no easier to acquire mauricio blocked from costa, soon after the break, and oscar was unable to beat patricio when clean through on goal nani cut a frustrated figure as sporting failed to find a way to break down the chelsea defence in their champions league clash mourinho celebrated victory at the full time whistle as his blues' side move top of group g on four points after two matches fabregas (centre) posted a picture on his instagaram account with his chelsea team mates celebrating on the way back to london after the match video mourinho relaxed as chelsea top group g another run by costa was brutally halted by mauricio, who managed to injure himself in the process it might have been interpreted as a red card foul by the last defender, but the referee gave him the benefit of the doubt and the centre half left on a stretcher with a yellow ‘it’s understandable, no problem,’ said mourinho ‘it is a young team, young players, a big match for them there was some frustration because we controlled most parts of the game the game was hard but correct’ sporting summoned some quality in the second half they were spirited and much more threatening and almost found a way back into the game nani crashed his best chance into the site netting from an angle and curled another close, while montero flashed a header wide chelsea survived the scares and are well placed to win the group ‘we can control our destiny,’ said mourinho ‘we play two games against maribor and if we manage six points that would be 10 and job done’

participants in a new study of the use of police deadly force were more willing pull the trigger on armed white suspects than on blacks, researchers have found the surprising results challenge previous findings about racial bias and, one the researchers says, helps combat the stereotype that cops are more eager to open fire on black suspects the authors of the study say the reaction delay is because officers fear that there will be greater repercussions from shooting a black suspect than a white one the study, conducted at washington state university spokane's sleep and performance research center, used a realistic simulator that showed video images of black, white and hispanic suspects both armed and unarmed participants were given a real glock pistol equipped with a laser and told to shoot armed attackers the study tested more than 30 cops, as well as 60 civilians and a half dozen members of the military about 85percent of the study participants were white realistic: a study that put participants in a simulator and had them shoot at armed suspects found that they were more hesitant to pull the trigger on blacks than on whites the study armed participants with a real glock pistol that fired lasers instead of bullets and measured the reaction times and accuracy when confronted with an armed white suspect, participants took an average of 137 seconds to pull the trigger but, they took 161 seconds to open fire on armed black suspects and were less likely to shoot unarmed targets that split second pause could be deadly in a real life situation, researchers say moreover, the study also monitored physiological responses to the shooting scenarios and found that shooters paused despite participants perceiving the black suspects as being a bigger threat than the white suspects the study contradicts previous findings that people were more likely to pull the trigger on black suspects lois james, a washington state university spokane professor, was lead author on the study the results were consistent for police officers, as well as civilians and members of the military, lois james, assistant research professor at washington state university spokane, told daily mail online 'what it suggests that when faced with black suspects, there is something going on that is making some kind of pause or hesitation what we think it might be is the fear of consequence,' dr james said dr james said those consequences could be moral or they could be fear of backlash, either public brouhaha, criminal charges or departmental discipline 'there's a history systemic racism in the us and there are still irrefutable facts about the treatment of some groups of people in the criminal justice system that i'm sure weigh very heavily on a lot of officers,' she said dr james conceded that it is possible that the participants in the study knew that they were being watched by researchers and delayed opening fire on black suspects as a result however, she says researchers worked to minimize that bias the study was initially designed to test how fatigue, experience and other factors impact in decision making in deadly force scenarios and so race was never mentioned with participants before they went through the course additionally dr james says the simulator offers realistic scenarios that show life size videos of police traffic stops and other incidents the set up means that most participants have very real physiological and psychological reactions to what's unfolding in front of them, she says previous studies that showed a people had a bias toward using force against black suspects used much less immersive techniques having participants sit in front of a computer screen and push a 'shoot' or 'don't shoot' button in response to pictures of armed suspects the findings, co authored by david klinger, a criminal justice professor at the university of missouri st louis, and washington state university spokane professor bryan vila, were published in may in the journal of experimental criminology

the mayor of a small town in nottinghamshire is facing calls to quit after he moved 4,000 miles away to saudi arabia kevin thomas landed a new job just a month after he was chosen as mayor of stapleford last may a post for which he receives a £400 a year allowance since then he has been returning for one week a month and conducting his civil duties over the phone, attending just 15 out of 41 events and sending his deputy to the rest spinning plates: kevin thomas is still serving as the mayor of stapleford, a town in nottinghamshire, despite taking a new job 4,000 miles away in saudi arabia he insisted he returns for one week every month the liberal democrat mayor moved to the oil rich arab state's capital riyadh with working links, a welfare to work firm with which he was an operations manager in the midlands for five years since then his deputy ray darby has been standing in at cheque presentations and school visits, as well as chairing council meetings in the town of 17,000 people mr thomas, 57, said he was planning to move back to england later this month he told the nottingham post he received 'daily e mails' from the council's clerk with agendas, minutes and other council business 'at the time i was elected mayor, i did not know i was going to be working abroad,' he said 'i was elected to represent the town and i can still do that from saudi arabia over the phone and via email 'there are some months, especially in the summer, when nothing happens at the council we also have a very good deputy mayor who attends events in my absence' but news of the long distance arrangement sparked a row with residents calling for him to step down from his mayoral role, which ends in may gulf: the huge distance between mr thomas' home and saudi arabia, where he is with a welfare to work firm one voter, 40 year old nurse lisa clarke, said: 'we want to be represented by people who live and work in the area you want your town mayor to have a hands on approach' now the council is considering having to pay an extra allowance to his deputy, who would normally receive £100 for the year mr darby admitted the situation was 'unfortunate' yet town council leader jackie williams, also a liberal democrat, defended the mayor and said the criticism came from 'political meddling' 'of the 15 events he's attended they've been major events,' she told mailonline 'whilst some of the 26 may have been significant a number of them will have been turning up to somebody's 90th birthday and giving them flowers attack: one of mr thomas' colleagues said he had shown 'contempt for the people of stapleford' 'a significant event would be something like the hemlock happening or the stapleford carnival, both of which he attended 'he was chosen to be the mayor in may and the job opportunity came in june it came out of the blue, these things happen sometimes and his company thought he was the best person for this particular job because it was something he's very good at 'it's about to finish my understanding was it would happen before christmas but i believe he still has some loose ends to tie up' ms williams insisted the £400 allowance was crucial for the high number of drinks and raffle tickets the mayor is expected to buy at town events 'it's a non story,' she said 'we know who's raised this and it's political meddling because there's an election in may' an independent councillor told mailonline the situation was only revealed at a meeting after mr thomas had been in saudi arabia for several months richard macrae said: 'it's ridiculous it's showing contempt for the people of stapleford 'he's a brilliant bloke when he's chairing meetings but the people of stapleford deserve a mayor that's actually there for them 'i brought the question up at the town council before, saying 'why doesn't the mayor turn up to anything', and they just ummed and aahed 'recently we had a load of soldiers come back from fighting in afghanistan and they marched through beeston, a town just next to ours, and the mayor didn't turn up to that 'we had the christmas lights being turned on and the deputy stood in his place for that' mr macrae said the mayor should step down and give the £400 allowance to his deputy 'people want a councillor they can talk to face to face,' he added 'if they have issues like a leaning lamp post or a mouldy flat they can't always do these things over the phone' spot the difference: the mayor's tranquil home town of stapleford, which has 17,000 inhabitants and the mayor's new home riyadh, the capital of saudi arabia which has a population of almost 6million a former serviceman, liberal democrat mr thomas joined the council in 2007 and stood for the larger broxtowe borough council in 2011, but was beaten by two labour candidates town councils, including stapleford, are similar in size and set up to parish councils unlike the larger broxtowe borough council which pays members more than £3,000 a year, councillors generally do not receive an allowance a working links spokesman said mr thomas was based in its riyadh office and often travelled to the firm's other four saudi offices in jeddah, dammam, tabuk and jizan a stapleford town council spokesman said: 'it was agreed, following discussion with the leader of the town council and the deputy town mayor that should the need arise, the deputy town mayor and/or past town mayors would be able to attend civic events as requested 'stapleford town council has been appropriately represented throughout the current civic year and no invitations have been refused councillor thomas has returned to the uk during this period and completed all his council duties as required 'councillor thomas will continue to serve as town mayor and attend civic engagements until the conclusion of his civic year' despite the small scale of the council, mr thomas is not its first member to make headlines for moving away husband and wife town councillors brian and christine wombwell tried to continue their posts despite moving more than 100 miles away to somerset in 2013 mrs wombwell later stepped down, but her husband still represents the ward of stapleton

a dutch colleague watching louis van gaal’s most recent press conference on the internet found it amusingly familiar he recognised the facial expression that said manchester united’s new manager was less than impressed with what he considered a challenge to his authority not to mention a tactic he often employs when he does not want to answer a question he simply dismisses it as a poor one and moves on as van gaal said after being asked if wayne rooney’s red card had made him doubt the wisdom of selecting the combustible englishman as his captain, it was his ‘right’ to offer no response which it was new manchester united manager louis van gaal does not suffer fools gladly during press conferences van gaal's temper is reminiscent of the way in which sir alex ferguson ruled at old trafford ferguson would often dish out contempt to questions he didn't agree with during press conferences sir alex ferguson 13 x premier league 2 x champions league 4 x fa cup 5 x league cup 2 x european cup winners' cup 1 x world club cup 1 x intercontinental cup 3 x scottish premier league 4 x scottish cup 1 x scottish league cup total: 36 major trophies louis van gaal 1 x champions league 4 x dutch league 2 x spanish league 1 x bundesliga 1 x uefa cup 1 x german cup 1 x spanish cup 1 x german cup 1 x intercontinental cup total: 13 major trophies and on a weekend when phil mickelson demonstrated how destructive public criticism can be in a team environment, the dutchman did himself no harm by displaying the kind of unity on which success at old trafford has long been built if he was unhappy with rooney for getting himself suspended for three matches in what promises to be a tough few weeks for a misfiring united side, he expressed that view in private for what it’s worth, van gaal actually missed the point when it came to that particular enquiry about rooney sometimes questions need to be asked in anticipation of a wider response and the days of debate that have followed rooney’s dismissal for kicking stewart downing prove the point some of it has been hysterical, some of it rather surprising some of his fiercest critics have suddenly become his most vocal allies, pointing to the fact that three years had passed since rooney’s last red card true enough but a red card only six games into his captaincy at united is a statistic that at least raises concern that the burden of responsibility might occasionally become too much for a player of rooney’s volatile nature that does not mean that rooney is not the right man to lead united in these challenging times, particularly at a football club where the captain has often been an extension of a combative manager there was a time when the same heart appeared to beat inside sir alex ferguson and roy keane, even if ferguson would now deny it and keane will no doubt do the same when his new autobiography goes on sale next week wayne rooney was sent off for kicking out at west ham's stewart downing at old trafford last weekend the decision to hand rooney the captain's armband has been scrutinised over the last week van gaal, however, brushed off questions surrounding his choice when asked on saturday the relationship between van gaal and rooney is similar to that of ferguson and roy keane van gaal clearly sees something of himself in rooney it will be why he chose him and while rooney’s professional relationship with ferguson might have ended much like keane’s, he might see something of his former manager that he admires in van gaal, too that press conference on saturday certainly reminded me of ferguson, even if it lacked the sheer explosiveness of some of fergie’s more memorable encounters with the media what made ferguson so fascinating, in particular for the reporters whose job it was to see him ahead of every match, was his unpredictability sometimes he was mesmerising other times grumpy and disinterested he might surprise you by suddenly appearing friendly; funny even and then there were those moments when he could descend into a blind rage with venomous, personal attacks on one particular morning he concluded his answer to the last question by telling the assembled reporters to ‘go away and write’ their ‘s***e’ those who were there still laugh about it to this day the dutch journalists recall similar tales of van gaal, even if many of them have found him difficult to warm to over the years in certain cases relationships have been eroded by the tone of the confrontation not because he might declare a question unworthy of a response but because of the way he then goes on the attack he might inform a reporter that their opinion lacks credibility because they have not had the benefit of attending his training sessions all week ferguson addresses the media ahead of the 2009 champions league final against barcelona he might even point to the fact that they have never played the game professionally an argument that jars with every football fan and therefore are not entitled to doubt him ‘he can be funny, too,’ said my dutch colleague earlier this week ‘but he sometimes enjoys trying to ridicule you in front of your colleagues’ at the world cup in brazil last summer certain reporters felt van gaal was too controlling he had an excellent tournament where it mattered most, of course, guiding his country to the semi finals, which was all the more impressive for the fact that he was not blessed with quality in every area of the pitch but he limited his access to the official fifa press conferences and that proved a frustration because those gatherings could be manipulated to silence certain journalists, essentially because the media officer decides who gets the microphone you require to ask a question there were senior writers who were left deeply frustrated by the lack of opportunities to engage with their national team coach, particularly when the same reporter from a dutch children’s tv show was invited to ask the final question every time ferguson and rooney share a joke during training ahead of a champions league semi final in 2011 so far here in manchester there have been few such complaints reporters would probably consider van gaal’s press conferences a bit too brief but for the most part he has been candid and accommodating, and if there have been flashes of that arrogance, aloofness and aggression it is only to be expected these, after all, are characteristics a manager probably needs to lead a club like united, and were certainly employed to good effect when he followed that astonishing 5 3 defeat at leicester by tearing into his players in the dressing room as the faces van gaal encounters in his press conferences become more familiar, and he develops a greater command of english, there is sure to be more confrontation in that arena too according to my dutch colleagues, saturday was fairly tame by van gaal’s standards with some relish they often recall a clash he had with a dutch reporter during his time at barcelona when he objected to a question about rivaldo ‘you’re very bad,’ said a ranting van gaal ‘very, very bad no, no, no, you’re very bad very bad! always negative never positive always negative’ give him time, and a few decent results, and there will be plenty more echoes of ferguson video we fought to the end van gaal like our manchester united facebook page

the only people who could possibly have caught nico rosberg on sunday were interpol he disappeared off our screens almost all afternoon only to emerge as the inevitable winner of the german grand prix it was the perfect end to a fantastic fortnight for rosberg who got married, watched germany win the world cup and signed a new £40million contract with mercedes as rosberg lapped up deutschlandlied, the german national anthem, plus the applause of his home crowd at hockenheim, lewis hamilton looked slightly glum he was perhaps a bit hard on himself, for he drove swashbucklingly well from 20th on the grid to finish third celebrate: nico rosberg sprays champagne after winning the german grand prix on sunday happy: rosberg accepts the admiration of the german fans as lewis hamilton rubs his eyes (right) catch me if you can: rosberg led the way after starting in pole position in hockenheim well done: rosberg embraces dieter zetsche (right) after winning the german grand prix in hockenheim video rosberg uses local knowledge to triumph he slipped a further 10 points behind rosberg in the drivers’ standings, a mercifully small margin given that brake failure in qualifying left his legs, back and car badly bruised the gap is now at 14 asked if his glass was half full or half empty at the end of an entertaining race, he sighed: ‘hmm well i don’t know how to answer that i came from the back to get on the podium — it’s quite an achievement so half full ‘but i can’t be too ecstatic about it because it has been a tough weekend for me and i’ve ultimately lost more points to nico in the championship battle’ the title will probably be decided by the final race of the season in abu dhabi, where points ludicrously count double the loser of that contest, joked mercedes boss toto wolff, might need psychological help hamilton was all action here, going three abreast with kimi raikkonen’s ferrari and daniel ricciardo’s red bull it was reminiscent of a move that imprinted itself on the conscience of the wider world in the gp2 race at silverstone eight years ago he was again brave and daring, his car emerging from the outside of the hairpin ahead for the most part, his car was so much stronger than the rest that he simply scythed through the field he briefly lay second while others pitted but was ultimately thwarted in his attempt to pip williams’ valtteri bottas to runners up spot hamilton was not helped in this endeavour by clipping jenson button’s mclaren, believing his old team mate was letting him through his front wing was damaged and he lost downforce, but he continued, waving in apology as he passed button the following lap podium finishers: rosberg won the race whilst hamilton came from the back to finish third losing ground: hamilton is now 10 points behind his mercedes team mate in the standings ‘he has been such a gentleman this year and not given me too much trouble getting past but it was just a misunderstanding today,’ said hamilton ‘i wasn’t close enough to try and pass but i was on the inside line in the corner it looked like he had gone wide, then he cut back across the corner and perhaps he didn’t see me there 'i lost quite a bit of downforce with the damage and it made it very hard to look after the front left tyre we converted from a two stop strategy to three’ however, button was unimpressed by hamilton’s driving ‘why would we let anyone through?’ he asked ‘i don’t know if you’ve noticed but a lot of drivers do that line to get a good exit from the corner the problem with lewis is he expected me to let him past i don’t think i’m the only person he drove into today it’s strange with his car being so much quicker you’d think he wouldn’t get into so many fights, but there you go ‘he drove into my rear wheel i’m out there doing my race it would make it boring if we all let him past when he was coming through the field’ bottas was no more willing to yield than button, stubbornly defending from hamilton in the closing laps the finn — who has long been rated highly by his boss sir frank williams — is proving a fine driver in a car that is the best of the rest after mercedes it was his third consecutive podium finish he is outgunning his team mate felipe massa, the little brazilian who was again entangled in a spectacular crash trouble behind: rosberg leads the way as massa crashes at the first corner out: felipe massa crashed in the first curve of the german formula one grand prix in hockenheim rolling: the high speed crash saw massa's car flipped upside down relief: the brazilian seemed to be ok after the heavy collision with kevin magnussen heat of the moment: daniil kyvat was forced out of the race as his car burst into flames he was disputing the first corner with kevin magnussen when the two men collided massa was flipped over and skidded upside down along the asphalt for a second or two ‘it is normally a guy who comes from gp2 who causes this accident,’ said massa, in a classic case of finger pointing ‘i was in front i was doing the corner in front of him if anyone needs to watch, it is the car behind’ magnussen argued: ‘if i’d had somewhere to go, then there wouldn’t have been contact with felipe i did my best to try to avoid the accident but there wasn’t much else i could do’ the stewards investigated the incident but decided, not unreasonably, that it was a ‘racing incident’ undeserving of a punishment for either man the race was threatened by rain throughout, but it was not until soon after the podium ceremony that it came still, we were hardly starved of fun we got another three abreast joust, this time with the ferraris of fernando alonso, raikkonen and ricciardo’s red bull, and then a nip and tuck fight between alonso and ricciardo we held our breath when adrian sutil’s sauber was left in the middle of the track surely the safety car would come out but, no, it stayed there until marshals finally scampered on and pushed it away it was hairy lap 1: three places gained on the opening lap lap 3: passes max chilton, pastor maldonado and esteban gutierrez to move up to 14th lap 4: nails romain grosjean to go 13th lap 7: it’s adrian sutil next lap 13: makes contact with kimi raikkonen before barging his way past the finn, then passes ricciardo on the same lap a flurry of pit stops means he is now 7th lap 14: starting on the harder tyre has paid dividends he is 5th after passing sergio perez lap 27: pits for first time; re joins in 8th lap 30: damages his front wing after banging wheels with jenson button lap 31: the damage isn’t terminal though, and he passes his former mclaren team mate lap 44: pits and re joins in 5th lap 49: sees off fernando alonso to take 3rd lap 51: pits for a third time; re joins in 4th lap 56: passes alonso again but can’t find a way past bottas’ williams and finishes third

james milner has often been a target of derision from england fans but after wednesday night's horror show against norway, they may well have had a point this time the manchester city midfielder replaced jack wilshere in the second half of the 1 0 win at wembley but his cameo was not a resounding success the 28 year old who may win his 50th cap against switzerland on monday has only played quarter of an hour for city in the premier league this season and it showed as his touch was heavy and off target video scroll down to watch a vine of james milner's wayward crossfield ball finding his range? james milner's stray crossfield pass was closer to finding a fan in the stands poised: england substitute milner gets ready to send the ball crossfield to his team mate shocker: sadly for milner the pass looks to be heading the wrong way immediately after leaving his boot despair: milner's pass summed up england's lacklustre performance during the 1 0 win over norway out of touch: milner has only featured for 15 minutes for manchester city in the league this season so far disappointing: the 28 year old certainly wasn't the only player to under perform as england struggled fans have immediately seized upon milner’s woes by posting his disastrous attempt at switching play to john stones during the norway friendly on vine and another displaying his poor attempt at a short corner his attempted crossfield pass to stones was not received well inside wembley either, with ironic cheers greeting the ball sailing out of play, miles away from its intended target milner has been (unfairly) booed on to the pitch before by england fans and is seen by many as the safe option, emblematic of roy hodgson's squad sadly for england this was not a rare occurrence as the squad performed drastically below par ahead of monday’s euro 2016 qualifier against switzerland

a key democratic lawmaker threatened congressional hearings on tuesday over the obama administration's lack of action to confront isis, the islamist terror group responsible for beheading two american journalists and distributing the gory videos new york rep eliot engel, the house foreign affairs committee's ranking democrat, said during a conference call with reporters that he and republican committee chair rep ed royce plan to call hearings this month to oversee the president's airstrike campaign against the islamist group in iraq and bring some focus to the white house's strategic thinking 'the threat of isis is just something that i believe very strongly that we cannot take lightly,' engel said of the terrorist self proclaimed islamic state of iraq and al sham 'we cannot dither, we cannot just twiddle our thumbs, or wait and see,' he insisted 'we have to act and we have to act soon the more countries that we can get in this crusade to destroy terrorism the better it will be' vice president joe biden followed on wednesday with war drums in portsmouth, new hampshire, saying the us would follow isis 'to the gates of hell' scroll down for video trouble in the ranks: new york democratic rep eliot engel is coming down hard on the obama white house and insisting on congressional input before the authorization of military strikes after october 7 distracted? as congress demanded action on isis, president barack obama was meeting with estonian prime minister taavi roiva (left) about the russia ukraine crisis and baltic politics 'when people harm americans, we don’t retreat,' he blared during an appearance at a naval shipyard 'we don’t forget' 'we take care of those who are grieving, and when that’s finished, they should know, we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice because hell is where they will reside! hell is where they will reside!' steven sotloff, a florida freelancer for time and foreign policy magazines, was shown in the terrorists' footage following a message blaming obama's continuing airstrikes for his fate sotloff and james foley, a us photojournalist executed in a similar fashion on a video released in august, were believed to be held in syria, where a growing isis army maintains control over much of the nation's eastern territories under the war powers resolution of 1973, the white house can't send the us military into armed conflict for more than 60 days without congressional authorization that clock will run out on october 7 president obama said wednesday in estonia that fighting isis 'is not going to be a one week or one month or six month proposition' royce and engel, the daily beast reported, said that in the wake of a second gruesome video showing the beheading of an american journalist, they're determined to make sure the administration is proceeding in a way that congress approves of virginia republican rep frank wolf went one step further on wednesday, unveiling a bill that he will soon introduce to authorize ongoing military force against isis and other islamist terror groups the proposed legislation would permit obama 'to use all necessary and appropriate force against those countries, organizations, or persons associated with or supporting terrorist groups, including al qaeda and its regional affiliates, the islamic state of iraq and syria, al shabaab, boko haram, and any other emerging regional terrorist groups that share a common violent extremist ideology' his goal, articulated in the bill, is 'to eliminate all such terrorist groups' a separate bill drafted by florida sen bill nelson would give president obama the legal authority to carry out airstrikes on isis in syria 'let there be no doubt, we must go after isis right away because the us is the only one that can put together a coalition to stop this group that’s intent on barbaric cruelty,' the democratic lawmaker said in a statement both wolf and nelson intend to file their legislation next week when congress reconvenes after a month long recess flashpoint: video released tuesday by the self proclaimed islamic state of iraq and al sham (isis) showed american journalist steven sotloff (left) next to an unknown jihadi shortly before his execution engel (left) and royce (right) were on the air tuesday as news of sotloff's execution reached cnn wolf said wednesday that 'for far too long the obama administration and the congress have been debating whether or not authority exists for action to address this threat' 'we cannot continue operating on outdated authorities passed 13 years ago; it is time for this congress to vote,' he said wolf's bill includes a sop to dovish democrats in the form of a requirement that the president must act with 'the close consultation, coordination, and cooperation with nato and regional allies' at the heart of lawmakers' concerns is the thorny question of whether obama will authorize airstrikes against isis in syria as well as iraq 'we anticipate there will be a vote on authorization of the use of force for such a plan,' royce said tuesday 'that would come within the 60 day window' engel agreed 'we believe that before the president can continue beyond 60 days of doing airstrikes in iraq or anyplace else, he would have to come to congress and get congress’s authority to continue,' he said the president admitted last thursday that 'we don't have a strategy yet' for that the confession elicited gasps from lawmakers from the president's own political party minnesota sen al franken said on tuesday in a letter to attorney general eric holder that he was 'troubled' by obama's admission in a statement released tuesday virgina sen mark warner called on the president to present congress 'with a clear strategy and political and military options for eliminating the isil threat' 'the united states should not take any military options off the table, because stopping isil is in the national security and foreign policy interests of the us and our european allies,' warner's statement read obama has unequivocally said the us will not put combat boots on the ground in iraq to fight islamic extremists on wednesday in estonia, after nearly a week long media feeding frenzy that delivered one pr black eye after another, the president tried to clarify what he meant by his no strategy remark 'i was specifically referring to the possibility of the military strategy inside of syria that might require congressional approval,' he said during a press conference 'it is very important from my perspective that when we send our pilots in to do a job, that we know that this is a mission that's going to work, that we're very clear on what our objectives are, what our targets are; we've made the case to congress and we've made the case to the american people; and we've got allies behind us so that it's not just a one off, but it's something that over time is going to be effective' mixed messages: john kerry met with newly appointed envoy to muslim communities shaarik zafar (right) during a state department ceremony on tuesday royce also told reporters on tuesday that he and engel plan on 'scheduling a hearing upon our return and requesting the secretary of state to present a plan, a strategy focused on rolling back isis, defeating isis through the use of airstrikes and the support of those with common interests' georgia gop sen saxby chambliss, the vice chairman of the senate intelligence committee, joined the impatience caucus on wednesday by insisting that 'the united states must destroy isi[s] now' 'the west cannot continue to stand by while this group continues to kill innocent persons, as it has already done with the appalling murders of james foley and steven sotloff,' he said 'the time to stop and destroy isil is now' secretary of state john kerry took nearly 24 hours to comment on sotloff's death, saying in a statement wednesday morning that it was 'an act of medieval savagery by a coward hiding behind a mask' his emailed statement came shortly before he presided over a ceremony to honor shaarik zafar, his special envoy to us muslim communities 'for so many who worked so long to bring steven and the other americans home safely, this was not how the story should've ended,' kerry said 'its a punch to the gut '[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' royce (left) and engel (right) met with israeli pm benjamin netanyahu (center) on tuesday in israel but royce, the more hawkish of the two congressmen who spoke to reporters tuesday, stopped short of calling for massive bombing campaigns trailing through syrian airspace that could indicate that kerry and other obama administration officials will have a hard time justifying additional airstrikes without also arming anti isis groups on the ground the white house needs to 'accelerate this process,' royce said, suggesting that the us should be arming the moderate free syrian army to fight isis he also criticized the administration for its plodding approach to arming the kurdish peshmerga army in northern iraq obama said wednesday that 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' but in the same press conference, 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'

two men are halfway up what has been called the hardest rock climb in the world a free climb up a half mile section of exposed granite in california's yosemite national park tommy caldwell, 36, of estes park, colorado, and keven jorgeson, 30, of santa rosa, california, have been scaling their way up the face of the 3,000 feet granite monolith of el capitan in yosemite using only their hands and feet most ascents up the imposing rock face use an approach known as aid climbing, where ropes and metal pins are used to assist the climbers don't look down: jorgeson calculates his next move up the mountain in this photo posted on instagram on sunday however, the caldwell and jorgeson are instead attempting to cleanly free climb a route that has never before been climbed without aid their progress up the 32 sections, or pitches, of climbing is being chronicled by climber and photographer tom evans and filmmaker brett lowell the two men eat, stretch and sleep in hanging tents suspended to el capitan's dawn wall they don't have the creature comforts of home, but they have kept in touch with the outside world thanks to social media tweeting, posting on facebook, feeding information for blogs and keeping in touch with a bevy of supporters on the ground time to relax: on monday, the pair took a rest day to heal their hands in preparation for another day on the rock face on tuesday above, kevin jorgeson relaxes in his portaledge tent, which is attached to the rock face and hangs above the yosemite valley floor far below daring: free climbing involves using ropes to protect the men should they fall while climbing but it does not actually aid their ascent above, caldwell makes his way up one of the thin cracks that work their way up the route on el capitan using a headlamp on sunday night up they go: kevin jorgeson, 30 (left), and tommy caldwell, 36 (right), have reached the halfway point on their attempt to free climb yosemite's el capitan record breakers: if they are successful, jorgeson and caldwell will be the first team to free climb el capitan's imposing dawn wall rock face life: on the left, caldwell is seen on day 9 of the climb, attempting to remove damaged skin on his hands the razor sharp rock on the wall tears up the climber's fingertips and they use sanding blocks to keep them smooth on the right, one of the meals the climbers have eaten on el capitan the pair keep fueled with sandwiches like this and in the cold conditions their food is practically refrigerated 'the guys are doing great,' said josh lowell with big up productions, which has been filming the pair as they have battled with the route over the past six years '(monday) they are resting and trying to grow skin back on their fingertips so they can continue to do battle with the hardest climbing sections, which involve grabbing tiny, razor sharp edges of rock' if all goes as planned, the duo could be at the top as soon as friday or saturday, lowell said 'but that's best case scenario it could take several more days just to get through the difficult section where they currently are if any weather moves in, that could also delay things, but the forecast is looking good for now,' he said it will be the culmination of a six year project to conquer the route that they have called the dawn wall until now the pair have been gradually edging their way up the route one pitch at a time, practicing each move until they have been able to climb freely up the holds without falling or the need for assistance from aid climbing equipment previous attempts to climb the route cleanly have been beset with problems caldwell and jorgeson tried to climb it all in 2010, but storms halted their progress about a third of the way up while in 2011 jorgeson broke an ankle after falling during an attempt just after christmas 2014 the pair began their latest attempt to finally climb the entire route without stopping progress: if all goes well, the pair could reach the summit of el capitan as early as friday or saturday above, caldwell makes his way up the rock face on sunday daunting: at 3,000 feet tall, el capitan is the largest monolith of granite in the world and one of the most difficult climbs many have climbed dawn wall but the pair would be the first to 'free climb' the section using ropes only as a safeguard against falls previous ascensionist have used ropes and metal pitons to help pull themselves upwards, as well as to stop them plummeting to the ground if they fall caldwell and jorgenson are pulling themselves up the route using only the tiny holds they can find on the rock for caldwell this has meant overcoming a diy accident where he cut off much of his left index finger with a table saw in 2001 he has trained with his remaining figures to build up their strength but the razor sharp granite holds on dawn wall has now led both caldwell and jorgeson to tape their finger tips as the rock has shredded their skin the first climber reached el capitan's summit in 1958, and there are roughly 100 routes up to the top evans said the two have a cellphone on their ascent, but they weren not taking calls monday because they were resting and 'want no distractions while on the cliff' the two also were not answering emails from roughly 1,500 feet above the ground not out of the loop: the pair keep in touch with the outside world using a cellphone they brought with them on the climb, using it to tweet and post updates to the social networking site facebook however, on monday they stayed off the device to focus on resting these practices may not seem unusual, but the climbers have relied heavily on social media to document their adventure both update their facebook pages regularly and tweet from the dawn wall, which has been called 'as smooth as alabaster, as steep as the bedroom wall' last friday, jorgeson hosted a live question and answer session from the wall mountaineers: the first climber reached el capitan's summit in 1958, and there are roughly 100 routes up the steep rock faces to the top live from el capitan: on friday, jorgeson hosted a question and answer session from the wall seen climbing el capitan, above worst is over: there are 32 sections of el capitan to climb, but the pair have already finished the three hardest sections of the route caldwell's wife', becca, has also been blogging about their trip daily and wrote this post last weekend 'being up on the wall for over a week and the hard climbing tommy and kevin have done up until now adds an element of difficulty on top of the hard climbing they have to do,' she wrote 'imagine performing your very best after not walking for one week i know tommy has made an effort to try and do stretching, pushups, (and) yoga in the (hanging tent) hoping this might combat the unusual circumstances of living like veal between their climbing so let's hope for big things today this climb definitely won't be over until it's over, but i believe it's possible let's go boys!!!' jorgeson tweeted late saturday about his difficulty scaling one section: 'battling #dawnwall' on december 30 the pair managed to compete the hardest section of the wall the first traverse at around pitch 14 writing on facebook later that evening, jorgeson said: 'tonight, i sent the hardest pitch of my life and the hardest on the dawn wall! best of all, tommy sent right after me! pitch 14 (the first traverse) is in the bag!' caldwell added: 'the hardest pitch got sent by both of us tonight i might be in a little shock right now the route is taking a toll on our fingertips as we are now both climbing with taped up fingertips, but it doesn't seem to be slowing us down too much' there are 32 sections of the climb on sunday night, lowell said caldwell, climbing in the dark, completed the last of the three hardest sections of climbing, which was a major breakthrough, lowell said 'he still has 1,500 feet of hard, scary climbing ahead, but mentally he is feeling really confident right now, and incredibly excited (jorgeson) is extremely close to completing pitch 15, one of the hardest (tuesday) he will try to complete it and catch up to tommy so they can continue forging ahead' in 1970, warren harding and dean caldwell (no relation to tommy caldwell) climbed dawn wall using ropes and countless rivets over 27 days the duo prepared for at least six years for the climb, according to friends and their personal websites john long, the first person to climb el capitan in one day in 1975, said he speaks to the climbers several times a day 'it's almost inconceivable that anyone could do something that continuously difficult,' he said monday, adding that he believes they spent the equivalent of a year's time on the wall in preparation for the climb to follow jorgeson and caldwell on their journey, follow them on instagram big up productions and photographer corey rich are also capturing the two as they ascend the monolith, and both have been posting pictures of the monumental climb on instagram as well

allan austin, 57, has a hernia the size of a football which makes it hard for him to walk and causes 'awful' pain a man with a hernia the size of a football says he was accidentally wiped from the surgery waiting list and has now been told there's no funding to treat him allan austin, 57, has seen the 30cm by 30cm hernia continue to grow during his eight month ‘nightmare’ and says he can barely walk mr austin, from maidenhead, says he is in ‘awful’ pain and the delay in his treatment has meant the hernia is now too big for standard hernia surgery to be appropriate as a result, he needs a £12,000 more complex operation, but has been told funding is not available as the surgery is ‘not essential’ mr austin said: ‘it’s been a nightmare they can’t leave me like this, it’s just too painful ‘it’s awful in the morning i can sort of walk about but as the day progresses it gets heavier and by the end i can hardly walk ‘the hernia was painful to start with but i could get about now it is five times bigger and really heavy ‘if i drop something on the floor i can't get down to pick it up and i’m in constant pain ‘the stabbing pain stops me in my tracks and it’s so sore after 430pm every day i spend the rest of the day sitting down because of it’ mr austin, who works for an engineering firm, was first admitted to wexham park hospital, near slough, with a burst abscess in his bowel in april 2013 he credits staff for saving his life during an operation to fit a colostomy bag, but he developed a small hernia as a result surgery to correct it was postponed in november as doctors weren’t happy with the results of an ecg – a test used to detect heart problems then in january, the hospital revealed mr austin had accidentally been removed from the waiting list altogether by now, the hernia had got worse, ballooning from around three to four inches to the size of a football and rather than standard hernia treatment, he needs a four to five hour operation to fit a mesh to hold the hernia back he said the doctors appealed to the local clinical commissioning group for a grant to cover the £12,000 cost but were only offered £5,000, leaving a £7,000 shortfall wexham park hospital accidentally wiped mr austin from its hernia surgery waiting list the hernia is now so big he has been told standard hernia surgery will not be sufficient and he needs a £12,000 operation for which no funding is currently available as it is deemed 'non essential' mr austin has hit out at the administration errors that have caused him to fall through the cracks he is particularly concerned as untreated hernias can cause dangerous complications such as a bowel obstruction or interruption to the herniated tissue's blood supply in a letter to mp theresa may, he said: ‘the sheer negligence and incompetence shown to me in the last eight months is quite unbelievable ‘no one seems to care anymore not once have i been asked about this whole situation and how i feel about it’ the hospital trust has apologised for the delay and launched an investigation a statement from the hospital said: ‘heatherwood and wexham park hospitals nhs foundation trust would like to apologise to mr austin for the delay in his treatment ‘the trust is conducting a thorough investigation into all aspects of mr austin’s care and is in contact with him to ensure he is aware of the outcomes of this investigation’

frightened of the paparazzi outside her home she had turned into a social recluse and was reluctant to receive medical help when she first started having trouble breathing miss murphy was also very sedated due to the drugs she was taking and so may not have appeared as ill as she was as a result miss murphy’s mother sharon only called 911 after her daughter sank into her arms, lifeless, on the morning of december 20, 2009 scroll down for video murphy pictured in 2006 in sydney at the premiere for the movie happy feet she died three years later tomorrow night a new documentary will examine the final hours of the 32 year old actress, who soared to fame after appearing in the hit 1995 comedy clueless before starring in films including 8 mile and sin city officially, the coroner attributed her death to pneumonia and anaemia the same ailments that would kill her husband, british filmmaker simon monjack, 40, five months later rumours also circulated at the time that miss murphy was a cocaine addict and had an eating disorder now pathologist dr richard shepherd, who was involved in examining the deaths of princess diana and murdered crimewatch host jill dando, has claimed miss murphy’s life could have been saved if she had been seen by doctors 24 hours earlier dr shepherd said: ‘by the time brittany collapsed in her bathroom there was probably nothing the paramedics or hospital staff could have done to save her but had she been taken to hospital 24 hours earlier and given intravenous drugs, there is a very good chance she would have survived and would still be here today’ the pathologist doesn’t say it was deliberate, nor does he directly blame the mother but it is the mother who called the ambulance in the end dr shepherd does not blame sharon for her daughter’s death and in the documentary explains they may not have realised how ill she was as she was addicted to prescription drugs and was in a sedated state brittany murphy, right, rose to fame for her role alongside alicia silverstone and stacey dash in the movie clueless he said: ‘brittany was so sedated it’s quite possible neither simon nor sharon had any idea how ill she actually was that may be the reason why they didn’t call an ambulance’ in the days and weeks leading up to miss murphy’s death she had been taking a ‘cocktail’ of prescription medication, dr shepherd said, including anti depressants, sedatives and anti anxiety drugs she was also taking cough medicine to help ease the symptoms of her chest infection according to the pathologist the combination of drugs in miss murphy’s system might have contributed to her death dr shepherd said: ‘drugs can have a very beneficial effect but they also have side effects and mixing them together means that these side effects can combine and become lethal’ he added: ‘cough medication is designed to stop you coughing so that you feel better but actually it also stops you bringing up the mucus and the bacteria out of your lungs so it tends to make pneumonias worse brittany was perhaps coughing but she wasn’t coughing enough or fiercely enough to clear the mucus in her lungs’ theories about miss murphy’s death have ranged from anorexia to cocaine and even suspicion she was poisoned – none of which dr shepherd’s analysis of her autopsy report found to be true traces of methamphetamine, for example, came from an inhaler not illegal drug usage but he said there is evidence the poor condition of her home – described by her mother in law linda monjack as ‘a place of unhealthiness’ – exacerbated her condition at the time, miss murphy’s mother asked the pathologist to investigate whether fungi in the mould growing on her walls and poorly ventilated rooms could have contributed to her death images have been released showing the vast cctv camera network which murphy had installed in her home murphy and her husband became reclusive, installing cctv cameras and fingerprint recognition locking systems living in poor housing conditions would likely have had an effect on her health, the pathologist said dr shepherd said: ‘the autopsy report shows they didn’t find any fungi, either in her blood stream or in the sections of lung that they examined under the microscope so mould and fungi haven’t played a direct role in the death of brittany ‘but living in poor housing conditions like that is likely to have had a debilitating effect and contributed to her infection and death’ he added: ‘she was apparently living in appalling conditions’ autopsy: the final hours of brittany murphy, which is on channel 5 on thursday at 9pm, will also expose the extent of miss murphy’s paranoid fear she was being watched as well as being fearful of the paparazzi, she and mr monjack, believed they were being targeted by the american government, after miss murphy gave evidence in a whistle blowing trial involving a friend murphy pictured acting alongside rapper eminem in the critically acclaimed 2003 film 8 mile the couple, who were married in 2007, became reclusive within their home, where they installed ‘fort knox’ style security, including a fingerprint recognition locking system, cctv cameras and they hired a guard to patrol the property 24 hours a day describing their set up as ‘completely raving mad’, mrs monjack said: ‘they would say there were helicopters flying over head, they were being watched, both of them were very fearful of this the house was like fort knox they had surveillance cameras all around the house and they had a security guard there 24 hours the security was mad totally completely raving mad it was way over the top and it was because they were frightened’ she added: ‘they were very reclusive’

luis suarez is currently public enemy no 1 as the villain of the hour at this world cup but where does he really rank in the all time rogues gallery? in most lists of men and women who have blackened their sports by cheating on the field of play or horrendous misconduct off it, the names of lance armstrong, ben johnson and diego maradona are invariably the big three by such populist judgement uruguay’s chomper at bits of his opponents would not make the top 20 in historical context not in the long term rather than in this very immediate heat of the moment ain't that the tooth: suarez reacts after biting chiellini (seated) at the world cup clash in natal it is when absolute moral criteria are applied in the proper order that suarez not only nibbles his way into the reckoning of shame but gnaws his way above the syringing cyclist, the steroid sprinter and the snorting goal scorer there are four degrees of scandal – drug abuse, match fixing, plain cheating and the deliberate inflicting of grievous bodily harm in my estimation the latter is by far the most serious and the big six in this list reflect their gravity in this culpability below them the places of shame are shuffled among the other classes of offenders, taking into account not only the extent of the negative impact on their sports but, even more importantly, how they shattered our dreams these ratings also reflect an element of british interest since the nearer it hits to home, the closer to the bone 20) fred lorz to start,, one to give us a much chuckle in 90 degree heat at the 1904 st louis

south korea has accused kim jong un of using a 6,000 strong cyber army to launch attacks on its military and government, as well as targeting organisations overseas north korea may now be able to hit the us mainland with nuclear warheads thanks to advances in rocket technology and efforts to minimise the radioactive bombs, seoul's defence ministry said the warning comes after days of rising tensions on the korena peninsula after kim said he was open to 'high level' talks with the south during his new year speech scroll down for video kim jong un has twice the number of hackers as previously estimated, and may be able to hit the us mainland with nuclear bombs thanks to advances in rocket technology, according to south korea the south's defence ministry said kim jong un was attempting to minituarise nuclear warheads so that they could be used in a possible strike against america (file image) south korean officials had previously estimated that north korea had 3,000 hackers at its disposal, but in a report published today they doubled that number to 6,000 the revised estimate comes after kim's regime was blamed for hacking movie producer sony pictures in retaliation for making film the interview, depicting the assassination of kim jong un in the days following the leaking of confidential sony information, the south said it had foiled an attempt to hack its nuclear reactors, again blaming the attack on the north last week south korean it experts said they had removed a 'worm' a type of virus spread via email or file sharing that is able to replicate itself from one of their systems korea hydro & nuclear power co said that a 'small amount' of non critical data was stolen, but that no threat was found in the computer network controlling its reactors in his new year address, kim jong un said he was willing to engage in talks with the south at the 'highest level', but only if conditions were met among those conditions were agreements for the south to stop undermining his regime, and to cease all joint military exercises with the us in the waters around north korea the report is likely to raise tensions on the already fraught korean peninsula, even after south korean president park geun hye said she was open to 'high level' talks with the north while south korean president park geun hye has come out in favour of talks, she has refused to end the military drills, and this new report could scupper any hopes of restarting diplomacy south korean campaigners are also trying their best to prevent any talks from taking place, launching balloons over the border carrying messages which are critical of kim's leadership the letters were enough to derail the peace process last time, and prompted a short exchange of heavy machine gun fire as troops from the north attempted to shoot them down the north, which has described the activists as 'human scum', has repeatedly asked for the balloons to be banned the south has refused, but urged protesters to 'show restraint' instead fresh us sanctions, which came into force at the start of the year following the sony pictures hack, have also meant that relations between the two koreas have been strained while the asset freezes, which target 10 north korean government officials and three organizations, will likely have little direct impact on the regime, they are a very public rebuke for an attack that the north has consistently denied

the fa continue to maintain that this is all part of a special plan, that this group of players are on the verge of something special no, they are not they are young men, many of whom are ill disciplined and ill advised, no better illustrated than by the latest round of party pictures if we are to believe these england players want success at world cups or european championships as much as they tell us, then they have to change their refuelling habits crime sheet august 2010involved in a fracas outside a london nightclub, which left a woman with a broken arm wilshere was arrested and bailed but faced no charges he received a caution for common assault, though a spokesman insisted he acted as peacemaker march 2011wilshere received a police warning for trying to spit on a cab driver wearing a spurs hat the midfielder, who was drunk, later apologised july 2012wilshere was warned by uefa after tweeting about betting during an arsenal champions league game uefa regulations state players cannot bet on games involving their own teams injury list july 2011 limped out of a pre season friendly with a stress fracture on his right ankle february 2012 suffered a second stress fracture to the heel of same foot may 2012 knee injury slowed his rehabilitation and eventually he required surgery, which kept him out for four more months march 2013 inflamed left ankle saw him miss a champions league game and two world cup qualifiers may 2013 had surgery to remove a pin in his right ankle and missed two england’s friendlies march 2014 hairline fracture in his left foot ruled him out for six weeks whisper: a girl speaks in jack's ear as he enjoys his time in sin city after the world cup disappointment head and shoulders: the england goalkeeper in the pool at the mgm grand grimacing: jack pulls a face in the bubbling pool in front of two bikini clad women top class athletes cannot sustain these lifestyles and they should not seek them out either it was only a year ago that england’s captain steven gerrard claimed wilshere was a ‘world class talent’ and even went on to say that the arsenal midfielder could succeed him as skipper with a ball at his feet, no one doubts that wilshere is a gifted individual, but boozing it up in bars and smoking like a trooper is no way to fulfil that talent last october, wilshere, who earns around £50,000 a week, assured arsene wenger, his manager at arsenal, that it was a ‘one off’ when he was pictured smoking on a night out in london ‘i made a mistake players make mistakes i’m not a smoker,’ he told arsenal’s official website ‘i spoke to the boss and he asked me what happened i explained it to him and we sorted it out he put me in the team and hopefully i repaid him’ don’t forget, in the hours that followed arsenal’s fa cup victory, he was caught on camera responding to supporters singing ‘what do we think of tottenham’ by shouting ‘****!’ caught: jack was photographed smoking a cigarette outside dstrkt nightclub in october last year no biggie, but wilshere needs to straighten himself out if he is to go on to have a first class playing career he is 22 now when arsenal play their opening fixture against crystal palace in the barclays premier league on august 16, wilshere will be fighting for his place — and it is getting congested in there mesut ozil, a world cup winner now, new signing alexis sanchez, aaron ramsey, mikel arteta, theo walcott and alex oxlade chamberlain are all battling it out wilshere has a big season ahead and this gem of a player is no longer guaranteed a start in a mediocre england squad he is not alone it was only a couple of weeks ago that sunderland striker connor wickham was pictured with his pals in puerta banus, marbella, with the receipt for a £17,500, 15 litre bottle of armand de brignac champagne anger: his arsenal manager arsene wenger was furious with the england midfielder for smoking in october if he wanted it badly enough, wickham — who has represented england at under 16, 17, 19 and 21 levels — would be a full international he has the talent, but not the aptitude at this rate, there is not a chance that he will be considered for the england squad back to hart at the lions and roses charity dinner on may 18, england’s head coach roy hodgson allowed his players to have a couple of drinks on one table, gerrard and lampard had half a glass of red wine poured for them and did not touch a drop on another, far more boisterous table, hart drank bottle after bottle of beer at a remarkable rate sitting on the same table was luke shaw, a young man who cannot even drive yet, at his first official england function at the time he was 18 what an example to set a kid, trouble brewing? jack assured arsene wenger (left) his last smoking episode was a 'one off' disappointing: jack had a frustrating world cup as england crashed out in the group stage hart’s boozing was shaw’s introduction to what it means to be part of an england squad preparing for the world cup it felt, and looked, like the keeper’s last big blow out before the tournament the next day england’s first choice goalkeeper trained with the rest of his team mates some preparation that is can you imagine manuel neuer slugging back a few beers before the world cup in the same way with the germany national team? not on your life neuer and his team mates have committed their lives to being the best they can be and they have made the necessary sacrifices to achieve their ambitions on the field as ever with england, they are pouring it all away

large transnational companies are getting away with paying little tax in australia by taking advantage of recent cuts at the australian tax office, an outgoing ato employee has claimed the insider said the ato's internationals department, which is responsible for making sure companies such as google, ikea, apple and starbucks pay their fair share of tax, has lost a large number of senior staff in recent years, the canberra times reported funding cuts to the tax office combined with an internationals department that is increasingly made up of junior staff has left the ato unable to properly pursue multinational companies, he said for the 2013 14 financial year ikea paid just $77 million in tax after making a profit of $92 million for the 2013 14 financial year ikea paid just $77 million in tax after making a profit of $92 million in 2013 apple paid $36 million in tax despite making $61 billion in australia, while google paid just $71 million despite making $465 million in 2013 starbucks australia had gone 13 years without paying any company tax the ato insider said the 'big four' accounting firms that represent large corporations including pwc, kpmg, deloitte and ernst & young were bolstered by the loss of senior staff and were attempting trickier ways of tax avoidance large transnational companies are getting away with paying little tax in australia by taking advantage of recent cuts at the australian tax office, an outgoing ato employee has claimed 'that's more likely to be the case in a climate of a loss of staff, it has progressively become that way during the past three years, internationals has dramatically shrunk in its technical staff,' the mid ranking executive, who did not wish to be named, said he added that new rules within the ato restricting audits to a 90 day time frame also made employees less likely to pursue 'hard nosed' audits 'the taxation office is saying they want say, a 90 day turnaround, the office doesn't want a team to be bogged down in a case that might take months or years, unless they know there is going to be a revenue outcome,' he told the times in 2013 starbucks australia had gone 13 years without paying any company tax an ato spokesman denied there was a 90 day time limit 'this seems to have selectively chosen from blue sky discussions about things that could occur in the longer term,' he said 'the commissioner ensures that reviews of multinational operations are thoroughly carried out according to case plans reviews and audits usually take a couple of years to complete' the spokesman said staff numbers in the internationals branch had remained steady since 2011 'international structuring and profit shifting issues can be complex and that is why the ato recruited further expertise into its international area, and into its advice and review teams the international area will continue to restructure as the risk environment changes,' he said 'multinational groups are reviewed by teams of compliance officers located in our public groups area those teams include a range of officers of different seniority and experience levels who work together to make sure the right skills are brought to bear on each case' in 2013 google paid just $71 million in tax in australia despite making $465 million

more than half of british pilots have fallen asleep in the cockpit of a passenger plane and alarming research has revealed that one in six commercial pilots has woken up at the controls only to see that their co pilot is dozing too the findings were revealed yesterday, following reports that two pilots fell asleep on a british passenger plane last month in the air: the captain and co pilot of the virgin atlantic airbus a330 blamed their long shifts for falling asleep but the caa accepts the pair were not asleep at the same time the captain and co pilot of the virgin atlantic airbus a330 blamed their long shifts sir richard branson’s virgin atlantic admitted its plane was involved, but denied reports that both pilots were asleep at the same time a spokesman said the captain and co pilot were sleeping in alternate 20 minute intervals – an approved practice known as ‘in flight napping’ a civil aviation authority report stated ‘pilots asleep’ but the company says the issue was about fatigue the incident was logged after one of the pilots reported it however today the caa said in a statement: 'following clarification from the airline concerned, the caa is satisfied that while this was a reportable event, and both pilots were concerned they were suffering symptoms of severe fatigue and took controlled rest separately, they did not fall asleep at the same time 'it was right that the airline reported this to us after one of the pilots raised their concerns the airline is now taking steps to adjust its rostering arrangements for flight crew' the caa described it as an isolated incident, and experts said passengers’ lives were not at risk because the plane would have been on auto pilot airlines involved in safety alerts are not normally identified – so as not to discourage them from reporting future incidents and risking negative publicity the civil aviation authority does not name the airlines involved in its mandatory occurrence reporting (mor) scheme as it relies on the honesty of firms and their crews to highlight concerns airlines are legally obliged to report any potential safety breaches to the caa while individual crew members can also report incidents but critics argue that passengers have the right to know which airlines are involved as it could influence their decisions about booking flights a caa spokesman said: ‘we don’t identify airlines because that would potentially impact on future reporting ‘we have mor so that people can feel comfortable reporting concerns, and so any risks can be mitigated the idea is that the industry can learn from these reports, not so that someone can apportion blame’ a caa report said the crew were ‘suffering from symptoms of severe fatigue’ it added: ‘both members of flight crew had only five hours sleep in two nights due to longer duty period with insufficient opportunity to sleep both crew rested for 20 minute rotations and fell asleep’ the caa has recorded two previous incidents of pilots falling asleep in the cockpit however, the british airline pilots association (balpa) said the industry regulator only recorded episodes that were reported – and warned that pilots fell asleep with alarming regularity the union, which represents three quarters of pilots in the uk, said demanding flight schedules and busy airline rotas were to blame research by balpa found that half of all pilots said tiredness was ‘the biggest threat to flight safety’ some 56 per cent said they had fallen asleep in the cockpit of those, 29 per cent – about one in six of all pilots – said they woke up to find their co pilot was also asleep the research was carried out ahead of a european parliament vote on eu rules for flying hours, which takes place on monday balpa warns the new regulations will put lives at risk as they will legalise shift patterns that could see pilots kept awake for up to 24 hours sir richard branson's virgin atlantic admitted its plane was involved, but denied reports that both pilots were asleep at the same time sir richard is pictured last week at london's royal albert hall in its poll of 500 pilots, 84 per cent said their flying abilities had been compromised during the past six months some 43 per cent experienced problems once a month only half said their airline would back them if they refused to fly because of fatigue balpa general secretary jim mcauslan said: ‘british pilots want to make every flight a safe flight and tiredness is the biggest challenge they face’ transport ministers were warned of the dangers of sleepy pilots nine months ago, but said it was not ‘a reported flight safety issue’ a caa spokesman stressed that, if approved, new european rules ‘will increase our oversight role of airline operators and place firm obligations on airlines to introduce comprehensive fatigue management policies and monitoring systems’ a spokesman for the department for transport added: ‘the civil aviation authority is satisfied that the proposed requirements will improve safety across the eu as a whole ‘flight time limitation requirements are there to ensure that pilots and other crew members do not operate aircraft with unsafe levels of fatigue’ they claimed the proposals ‘go further than current requirements, by obliging airlines to plan rotas and manage crew duties to actively address the risk of fatigue’

the image purporting to show the speaker parts from the forthcoming iphone 5s and iphone 6 the same part from the current generation is shown not to scale the photos, which the editor of french tech blog nowhereelsefr said he found 'while browsing the web', show speaker components which are similar to ones used in the iphone 5 they were apparently leaked online by an employee of the far eastern company which manufactures the parts for the silicon valley tech giant both parts appear to be similar in design to the part currently used in iphone 5s, but the one thought to be for the iphone 6 is slightly smaller it is speculated that this could actually be designed for the as yet hypothetical 48in iphone, an iphone mini or a possible budget iphone the writer claimed the source of the images, whose identity he chose to keep secret, told him the 5s is set for launch between march and july, while the iphone 6 will be unveiled at the year's end
