with two goals in five second half minutes against motherwell in midweek, mikael lustig has taken over john guidetti’s mantle as the most deadly swede currently residing at celtic park however, the fit again defender has his sights set on emulating another well known compatriot as a youngster, lustig grew up in umeå in northern sweden watching old firm matches which featured his idol — a certain henrik larsson — putting rangers to the sword after moving to parkhead in january 2012, however, circumstances have dictated he’s had to wait over three frustrating years for his first chance to face the ibrox side after making his first appearance in a celtic jersey since aberdeen on november 9, the 28 year old — who came on at half time on wednesday — insists he is more than ready for next weekend’s league cup semi final it is, as he knows from his formative years watching on television, an occasion where heroes can emerge mikael lustig has had to wait over three years to get his first shot at an old firm derby ‘when i was younger, i watched scottish league games on television, especially the old firm games because of henrik larsson and johan mjallby,’ recalled lustig ‘so i’ve seen them and, of course, it’s a good time to be a hero ‘i’ve been here three years now and not played in one but i always knew i wanted to be at celtic for a long time, so i knew i would play them at some point i am ready for it! ‘i’ve been to a couple of the games i sat in the stands at ibrox and at celtic park i was injured for the home game and i was in the squad at ibrox (but didn’t make the bench) ‘the occasion was still unlike anything i had experienced the atmosphere was brilliant we’ve not had it for a while’ henrik larsson celebrates after scoring against rangers in a scottish cup tie in 2004 lustig insists everyone within the celtic dressing room is aware of the significance and importance of the upcoming league cup and europa league ties against historic foes rangers and inter milan respectively but he believes the uninitiated — like virgil van dijk, jason denayer and stefan johansen — won’t truly understand the occasion until they walk into the searing white heat of hampden park for the semi final a week tomorrow ‘we play for celtic and everyone here knows how important these games are,’ said lustig, whose side faces ross county in dingwall in a lunchtime premiership kick off today ‘i don’t go out much after training i go back to my house and spend time with my kids but still i know how important these games are for the fans ‘but it’s hard to tell someone about these kind of games if they have not experienced it yet ‘i always remember hearing that the champions league nights at celtic park were unbelievable but then when you actually experience it, i remember being like “woah!” lustig wants to emulate his idol larsson by scoring against celtic's fierce rivals rangers ‘i think you need to experience it for yourself if you love football you should be watching an old firm match ‘when we drew them (rangers) we were all talking about it i’m not going to lie you miss the atmosphere of course it is a big game but it’s tight in the league just now and that means we can’t just focus on the cup and the european matches like we did the last two years ‘before we could put the league on the side a little bit but now we need to be focusing on every game and that has been quite good for us, i think ‘we play ross county today and as well as needing the three points it’s a chance for players to play their way into the rangers match’ lustig’s two second half goals were headers but he was left ruing ‘blowing’ his big chance to grab a hat trick in the 4 0 rout of motherwell he does not expect to be adding to his tally in dingwall today or rivalling leigh griffiths, anthony stokes, stefan scepovic and guidetti at the end of the season celtic take on rangers next weekend in a league cup semi final showdown ‘they were my first goals in years so i’d be quite stupid to start boasting about it,’ he smiled ‘of course, it’s not every day you score two goals and one of them was probably the best goal i have ever scored with my head but maybe not my best ever goal, because i got some decent ones at rosenborg ‘but, let’s be honest, i don’t think i’ll be up there at the end of the season ‘i actually had a chance to get a perfect hat trick it was a once in a lifetime opportunity but i blew it! i have maybe scored a hat trick when i was really young i used to play up front when i was a boy but never in senior football ‘is there a goal of the season competition developing between our full backs? absolutely, although i don’t think emilio (izaguirre) is in the competition yet but adam mathews’ against hamilton was really good, a screamer ‘it’s good playing in this celtic team because that’s three games in a row now the full backs have scored goals i don’t think we are going to score in every game but it is always nice to feel like you have the opportunity to go forward’

house majority leader eric cantor was dramatically defeated tuesday in a virginia gop primary,  crushed at the hands of a little known economics professor – a stunning upset and the highest profile scalp on the tea party's growing trophy wall the seven term congressman lost by a 55 44 margin to dave brat, a political novice with little money, marking a huge victory for the same conservative insurgent movement that supported cantor just a few years ago 'i know there’s a lot of long faces here tonight,' cantor told supporters after conceding the race to brat 'it’s disappointing, sure' 'obviously, we came up short' cantor is the second most powerful member of the us house and was touted as a likely successor to house speaker john boehner he is the first house majority leader in american history to lose his party's primary scroll down for video dave brat, right, defeated house majority leader eric cantor in the republican primary on tuesday, marking one of the most improbable american political victories in the history of party primaries stick a fork in him: house majority leader eric cantor leaves the stage with wife diana after his concession speech on tuesday following his crushing defeat at the hands of an unknown tea party backed professor don't tread on me: tea party pick dave brat celebrates in front of hundreds of supporters after snatching the republican nomination for congress away from cantor in a stunning upset that no one in the pundit class saw coming in 2004, south dakota democratic sen tom daschle lost re election to a republican while he was the sitting senate majority leader but that loss didn't come at the hands of a fellow democrat virginia law prohibits cantor from running as an independent once he has contested a party's primary he has told the associated press that he won't run as a write in candidate, effectively ending his political career the voters in cantor's very conservative congressional district spoke loud and clear, leading conservative activist brent bozell told reporters tuesday night 'eric cantor's loss tonight is an apocalyptic moment for the gop establishment,' bozell said 'the grassroots is in revolt and marching' dave brat, the randolph macon college economics professor who unseated house majority leader eric cantor, has a lot more going for him than his policy visions 'total eye candy': brat is liked by his students brat's students appreciate how he looks in a cardigan more than his approach to teaching and politics his hotness rating on the site is a glowing red chili pepper just a notch down from the site's best rating of combusting chili pepper 'he's so charming,' wrote one, 'and really knows how to incorporate real world examples to keep the class exciting and relateable [sic]' 'he change[s] assignments a lot and sometimes it's unclear what he wants you to do plus he's total eye candy!!' another said: 'brat changes assignments all the time, but he is so charming, you forget to be mad at him' 'not a great teacher,' wrote another 'great guy, but almost too smart to teach' a third seemed to mock his conservative street cred: 'i was excited to take a class from a guy who promised to put a stop to immigrant 'amnesty,' but at least 3 people in class were somewhat mexican looking and he did not deport a single one of them all semester also, requires purchase of 2 copies of 'atlas shrugged' for some reason coffee breath' bozell is chairman of foramerica, an organization that has targeted moderate republicans, including cantor brat said after the race was called in his favor that his push to unseat cantor had found a receptive audience among voters who were weary of partisan bickering – and of infighting within the gop 'the american people want to pay attention to serious ideas again,' he told a fox news channel audience 'our founding was built by people who were political philosophers and we need to get back to that, away from this kind of cheap political rhetoric of right and left' brat added: 'god acted through people on my behalf it’s an unbelievable miracle' most republican pollsters and election consultants were genuinely stunned by the results on tuesday one poll of 400 likely republican primary voters conducted in late may for the cantor campaign and shared with the washington post showed the incumbent with an improbable 62 28 lead the mclaughlin & associates opinion research firm said that its margin of error was +/ 49 percentage points, but it was off by 27 six hours before the polls closed, the venerable post predicted that brat would 'fall far short' 'disorganization and poor funding have stymied the campaign of tea party activist david brat,' read the opening salvo of a premature political obituary, 'even as he tapped into conservative resentment toward a party leader who has been courting the republican right for years' cantor founded the republican party's 'young guns' program along with 2012 vice presidential candidate paul ryan of wisconsin and house majority whip kevin mccarthy of california they created the initiative in 2007 as a support system for a new generation of gop candidates running for open congressional seats or trying to unseat democrat incumbents but the program grew to take all comers after the national republican congressional committee endorsed it – including challengers to sitting congressmen like cantor himself brat had been a thorn in cantor's side on the campaign trail, casting the congressman as a washington insider who isn't conservative enough last month, a feisty crowd of brat supporters booed cantor in front of his family at a local party convention cantor's fuzzy position on immigration reform became a focal point of the race when brat attacked his rival for what he said was a full embrace of 'amnesty' for illegal immigrants 'eric cantor believes that we need to import more low wage foreign workers at the expense of lower wages and fewer jobs for virginia families,' brat told the richmond times dispatch in an election survey that appeared in the paper on monday 'a vote for eric cantor is a vote for open borders and corporate handouts,' brat continued cantor has insisted that he opposes a quick path to citizenship for people living in the us illegally but he said he could be open to limited programs, like one that would offer green cards to young people brought to the us by their parents, once they served a term in the military he told the times dispatch in his own survey responses that he believes 'the immigration system is broken and we should make reforms in a step by step approach' but, added cantor, 'i do not and will not accept the president’s all or nothing approach' he also rejected a comprehensive immigration reform bill – which tea partiers derided as a 'blanket amnesty' program – that has passed in the senate but stalled in the house pro immigration activists seemed to relish the chance to leverage the issue against a powerful republican twice in the last six months they protested against cantor in the lobby of his arlington, virginia condominium building a jubilant group of amnesty advocates showed up to gloat at cantor's election night headquarters following his concession speech si, se puede: immigration reform activists crashed cantor's election night party, jubilant about bouncing him from officebut perhaps not thinking ahead to the tea partier brat's likely win in a heavily republican district the thrill is gone: cantor supporters couldn't hide their shock and disappointment when election returns came in and the news got progressively worse brat's message apparently scored well with voters in the 7th district, which includes part of virginia's capitol city richmond he prevailed by a double digit margin 'there needs to be a change,' said joe mullins, who voted in chesterfield county tuesday the engineering company employee said he has friends who tried to arrange town hall meetings with cantor, who declined their invitations a major rift between the gop's establishment wing and tea party factions has been a fixture in virginia since last year when tea party favorite ken cuccinelli lost the governor's race to former democratic national committee chairman terry mcauliffe cantor supporters responded by trying to wrest control of the state party away from conservatives with tea party leanings, including in the majority leader's home district but tuesday's election result shows that the last laugh belongs to the 'don't tread on me' crowd brat teaches economics at randolph macon college, a small liberal arts school north of richmond he raised barely $200,000 for his campaign, according to the most recent financial disclosure reports the new york times reported that cantor’s campaign splashed out close to that amount just at steakhouses ($168,637) cantor, by comparison, sat on a war chest of roughly $2 million politico reported that he spent $120,000 printing campaign mailers, $13,000 on yard signs, $370,000 on campaign ads and $30,000 on polling prominent national conservative groups spent their own money to help brat, who also offset his financial and name recognition disadvantages with endorsements from conservative radio host laura ingraham and other conservative activists heir no more: cantor was considered the likely successor to house speaker john boehner (l), but instead his has become the highest profile scalp on the tea party's wall 'he really just didn’t have very much money, but what he did have was a lot of heart,' ingraham told the new york times 'i think there will be a lot of people out there saying this could be the beginning of something really big for the republican party' brat will now advance to the general election, where he will face off against democratic party nominee jack trammell, another professor at randolph macon college he teaches sociology within hours of the race's conclusion, trammell's homespun campaign website was scrapped entirely, in favor or a flashier fundraising engine from actblue, a firm that boasts it has raised $515 million for democrats since 2004 republicans have represented virginia's 7th congressional district since 1971 and its residents have not voted to elect a democratic president for more than 20 years, giving brat a significant advantage in november cantor, a former state legislator, was elected to congress in 2000 he became the republicans' majority leader in 2011
democratic obama richmond just a few years ago cantor tea party 200,000 randolph macon college house john boehner brat dave brat november 168,000 jack trammell
cantor lost the primary to tea party backed economics professor dave brat brat has no political experience and raised little money for his campaign; he will now face a democratic candidate who teaches at the same college brat's campaign coffers barely scraped $200,000 whereas cantor spent $168,000 at steakhouses alone cantor was often considered the heir apparent to john boehner as house speaker the upset is seen by many as a significant victory for the tea party movement, which some had written off as past its sell by date brat appealed to conservatives' fear that cantor would embrace an obama style 'amnesty' push for illegal immigrants after being declared the winner, brat said: 'god acted through people on my behalf it’s an unbelievable miracle' just a few years ago, cantor was a tea party favorite, but his openness to changes in immigration policy left him vulnerable in november brat will face democratic sociology professor jack trammell both men teach at randolph macon college near richmond
patrick lumumba who was falsely accused of murdering meredith kercher by amanda knox the barman wrongly accused by amanda knox of murdering a british student has urged her to come to court 'if she is as innocent as she claims' just hours ahead of a verdict in her appeal trial patrick lumumba was held in custody for two weeks after knox, 26, told police she had 'covered her ears as he killed' meredith kercher in her bedroom of the house she shared with her fellow student as a result of the false accusation lumumba was dragged from his home in front of his children and wife, in a dawn raid by police and taken to jail only being released when a university professor provided him with a rock solid alibi speaking ahead of thursday's verdict, he said: 'if she (knox) is innocent as she should come to court for the decision 'i will be there if she is so sure that she had nothing to do with it, then she should be in court to hear the judges decision' the unemployed musician added: 'i think she is running away i'm the one who has been left in a real mess because of what she said 'my bar closed and my business folded i have nothing now and no work 'because of what she said i was put in jail for two weeks and my bar was impounded by the police for four months 'my friends tried t help me as best they could but it wasn't enough because they were all having a hard time as well 'the false arrest had a real negative impact on my personal life and my business life things have never really recovered and it's all because of what amanda wrongly told the police 'i haven't even been paid any compensation by her that i'm owed' scroll down for video patrick lumumba (centre) walks with his lawyer after he was released by italian police following the false accusation made by amanda knox knox was convicted of slandering lumumba and ordered to pay him 22,000 euros in 2011 and he was also later awarded 8,000 euros in damages by the italian state but he rejected this to pursue a claim through the european court of human rights knox and her former boyfriend raffaele sollecito, 29, were charged with murdering and sexually assaulting meredith in 2007, after she was found semi naked and with her throat cut in the bedroom of her house in perugia, italy initially, both were convicted in 2009 and knox was sentenced to 26 years and sollecito to 25 years but then in 2011 the verdicts were sensationally overturned and both were allowed to go free but last year, in a case that has been marked with numerous twists and turns, italy's supreme court ordered a fresh retrial of the appeal waiting game: sollecito and amanda knox (pictured) who split years ago, are awaiting verdicts in a retrial of their case in italy, after their previous murder convictions were overturned in 2011 that case began last september in florence, 100 miles from where the murder took place a verdict is due on thursday and prosecutors have demanded custodial sentences be imposed on both knox and sollecito although neither will be in court for the verdict raffaele sollecito walks outside the florence court, on monday, january 20 knox has remained in her home at seattle, fearful of travelling although she did email the court to protest her innocence in a statement read out by her lawyer, in which she insisted she 'was not a monster' judge alessandro nencini described the emailed statement as 'unusual' adding that defendants 'should be in court if they wanted to speak' computer studies graduate sollecito, from bisceglie, near bari, is now expected to be in court there has been speculation in the italian media that he would flee italy ahead of the verdict especially as it has emerged that he has been spending a lot of time in the caribbean paradise island of the dominican republic which has no extradition treaty prosecutors have already demanded that should a guilty verdict be returned by judge alessandro nencini then 'precautionary measures' should be imposed on sollecito which could include house arrest and surrounding his passport in knox's case, it is not entirely clear if the italian authorities will seek her extradition from the united states even though a treaty does exist between both countries to add to the confusion any verdict will go to a further automatic appeal at the supreme court so any final decision is likely to be many months, if not years away court case: sollecito walks past reporters outside the florence court in italy, on monday of last week this photo taken in november 2007 shows amanda knox (left) and raffaele sollecito (right) outside the rented house where 21 year old british student meredith kercher was found dead the retrial in florence shifted the motive away from a sex game gone wrong as was initially argued to a simple bitter feud of jealousy between knox and meredith with the british girl uncomfortable at her flatmate's cleanliness and habit of bringing men home death: knox and sollecito served four years in jail for murdering 21 year old leeds university student meredith kercher (pictured) in perugia however knox and her lawyers have hit back and insisted the theory is rubbish, with knox herself stressing that the two were 'good friends' and she has expressed several times a desire to visit meredith's grave and meet her family the dna evidence from the previous trial has also been revisited with experts being called to testify in particular about a 30cm kitchen knife which was found at sollecito's home and which was believed to be the murder weapon at the initial conviction it was said dna from knox was on the handle and that of meredith on the blade but the later trial and the appeal established that although there was indeed traces of the american, those of meredith's were so tiny they should not be relied upon prosecutors want both knox and sollecito jailed for 26 years, with knox having her one year sentence for slandering lumumba increased to four meredith's sister stephanie and brother lyle are expected to travel from their home in coulsdon, surrey, for the verdict the third time in seven years that they have attended a court trial related to the killing of their sibling a third man, ivory coast drifter rudy guede, 27, is serving a 16 year sentence for the murder and sexual assault and he is expected to be released on parole next year he, like knox and sollecito, has always protested his innocence

a girl with a food phobia has lived off a diet of chips and cheese for five years because she claims anything else makes her feel sick jennifer radigan, 17, eats mostly oven chips and is so repulsed by the thought of eating meat and vegetables she apparently heaves at the sight of them the teenager, from galston, in east ayrshire, scotland, claims she hasn't been able to finish a proper meal in years and can only extend her diet to the occasional bowl of pasta or boiled potatoes scroll down for video phobia: jennifer radigan, 17, eats mostly oven chips because she finds the thought of eating meat and vegetables 'repulsive' worrying: jennifer's eating habits, thought to be one the main reasons she regularly faints in public, have caused her weight to plummet to just 6st 10lbs jennifer, who started refusing food from a very early age, said she used to be so ashamed of her phobia she would starve herself at school, then later lie to her parents that she had eaten the college student is thought to suffer from a condition known as selective eating disorder this causes sufferers to be anxious or nauseous when they're presented with new or feared food, leaving them at greater risk of extreme weight loss and malnutrition jennifer's eating habits, thought to be one the main reasons she regularly faints in public, have caused her weight to plummet to just 6st 10lbs at just 5ft tall, this means her bmi of 184 is below the healthy range the teenager said: 'i used to live off mostly chicken, but now the smell makes me sick 'it feels like the older i get, the fewer foods i can actually stomach, but i can't go wrong with chips and cheese 'but they have to be mccain oven chips 'it affects my everyday life, not so much the eating around people or out, but the symptoms that come with the health issues it has caused 'i can't go one day without feeling completely exhausted or ill at at least one point it's like a never ending cycle of hell' although jennifer was a fussy eater throughout her childhood, it wasn't until she turned 16 that she realised her eating habits had spiralled out of control but it was only when she smashed her head on a concrete floor after fainting on her first day of work experience that she decided to go to the doctors for help tests revealed she was deficient in iron and vitamin b12 doctors then suggested jennifer's food phobia could be selective eating disorder and have referred her to a specialist for formal diagnosis fussy: jennifer will usually skip breakfast, have a plate of chips and cheese for lunch at college and pick at whatever her mother karen, 41 (pictured) makes her for dinner she said: 'i've fainted a total of five times now, and each time was different 'one time i was shaking and when i came round i was still shaking it was terrifying 'i find myself getting very easily upset by it i'll look in the mirror and think 'i'm nothing but skin and bones' and 'is this how people see me?'' jennifer will usually skip breakfast, have a plate of chips and cheese for lunch at college and pick at whatever her mother karen, 41, puts in front of her at dinner the british journal of clinical child psychology and psychiatry has described selective eating disorder (sed) as: ‘a little studied phenomenon of eating a highly limited range of foods, associated with an unwillingness to try new foods 'when this happens social avoidance, anxiety and conflict can result’ pilot studies in america have found many thousands of people who seem to fit the criteria for the disorder but sed should not be confused with normal childhood fussiness according to the royal college of psychiatrists, about 12 per cent of three year olds suffer from persistent selective eating — extremely faddy about their food — but fewer than one per cent carry it into adulthood she said: 'there is nothing worse than having a beautiful meal put down to you and going to take the first bite and thinking i can't put this in my mouth 'no matter how much i want to eat it, i can't 'i've always had major issues with meats the fat on it is just sickening 'on school days i wouldn't eat breakfast or lunch instead, i'd live off a kitkat and a small part of my dinner at night, no breakfast or anything her mother added: 'jennifer's eating habits really scare me she seems to go through stages where she improves slightly but they never last very long 'to be honest, her food phobia started at primary school, with her mainly avoiding red meat 'but it has spiralled and can result in her eating virtually nothing in a day 'i have let jen make a shopping list and buy the foods she wants, but even this can fail 'she will often come shopping with me and i let her get what she wants but this mainly consists of junk food 'i support jen, as does the rest of the family, i attend doctor's appointments and dietitian appointments with her and will support her to overcome this disorder' jennifer, who hopes to start university in september, is terrified her phobia of food will only get worse when she moves away from home but having been recently referred to a specialist by her gp, she is finally hoping to be diagnosed with sed so she can get the therapy she needs support: mrs radigan said her daughter's eating habits terrify her 'she seems to go through stages where she improves slightly, but they never last very long' 'i'm quite fearful about going to university, i've got used to eating around people i know but being around people i don't will be scary 'i feel i will have to explain my situation in case i faint or don't eat in front of people 'the foods i know i can't eat make me nervous as i know i need to eat them for the nutrients and that makes me upset 'i can still get nervous when eating out but i've learned to brush it off the only thing that scares me most is what could come from my eating or lack of eating 'what if i fainted and no one was around to help me and i never woke up? i've worked hard myself to get to the stage that i'm at but i feel it slipping away as more foods are added to my 'can't to eat list' 'hopefully a proper diagnosis will help me get the therapy i need'

only cowards would do that 2 him, others,' he said he went on to write about his mixed feelings towards the film in a protracted facebook post, saying that while some aspects of the movie were praise worthy, director clint eastwood didn't cover the history surrounding the iraq war to moore's liking 'awesome performance from bradley cooper one of the best of the year great editing costumes, hair, makeup superb! 'oh and too bad clint gets vietnam and iraq confused in his storytelling and that he has his characters calling iraqis 'savages' throughout the film this is what i really meant: seth rogen went online to clarify the difference between 'kinda reminded me' and a direct comparison he used apples and oranges as an example 'but there is also anti war sentiment expressed in the movie and there's a touching ending as the main character is remembered after being gunned down by a fellow american vet with ptsd who was given a gun at a gun range back home in texas and then used it to kill the man who called himself the 'america sniper' american sniper has been nominated for six academy awards including best actor for cooper and best picture seth rogen's film the neighbors was eligible for this year's academy awards, but was not nominated in any category rogen's other film the interview, nearly banned for fear that screenings of the north korean set comedy would be targeted by terrorists, was not eligible for the oscars since it was released online a day before it premiered in theaters

an ancient italian scroll that was damaged by a volcanic eruption in 79ad has been deciphered for the first time using a form of x ray imaging, scientists have been able to peer inside it without breaking the fragile papyrus it is among hundreds of texts retrieved from villa at herculaneum  a town that was destroyed when mount vesuvius erupted 2,000 years ago scroll down for video the charred papyrus (pictured left) was unfurled using a form of x ray imaging called x ray phase contrast tomography it takes advantage of subtle differences in the way radiation pass through substances on one fragment (right), researchers spotted words that are thought to be 'would fall', 'would say', and 'to move' the catastrophic event was the same eruption that wiped out pompeii some of the texts from what is called the villa of the papyri have been deciphered after being discovered in the 1750s but many more remain a mystery because they were so badly damaged it was feared that unrolling the papyrus they were written on would have destroyed them completely the only distinct marks in documents such as this scroll, said the researchers, are rounded traces shapes that aren't easily confused with papyrus fibres running vertically and horizontally letters a, b, d, e, z, y, k, l, m, n, o, p, c, u, f, x, c and o (a) are easy to decipher while g, h, i, x, p and t (b) are more easily confused vito mocella, a theoretical scientist at the institute of microelectronics and microsystems in naples, and his colleagues used a technique called x ray phase contrast tomography it has previously been used to examine fossils without damaging them phase contrast tomography takes advantage of subtle differences in the way radiation such as x rays pass through different substances, in this case papyrus and ink the only clearly distinct marks in documents such as this scroll, said the researchers, are rounded or oblique traces shapes that are not easily confused with papyrus fibres which run vertically and horizontally for example, letters are a, b, d, e, z, y, k, l, m, n, o, p, c, u, f, x, c and o are easy to decipher while g, h, i, x, p and t are more easily confused on one fragment, the sequence of greek capital letters piptoie could be read, and the researchers believe it may read 'would fall' in the following line, they believe it reads 'would say', and in a later fragment the researchers identified a sequence that could be words of the verb 'to move' 'the papyri were completely covered in blazing hot volcanic material,' said vito mocella, a theoretical scientist at the institute of microelectronics and microsystems in naples who led the latest project previous attempts to peer inside the scrolls failed to yield any readable texts because the ink used in ancient times was made from a mixture of charcoal and gum this makes it indistinguishable from the burned papyrus the scroll is among hundreds retrieved from the remains of a villa at herculaneum, which along with pompeii (preserved victim pictured) was one of several roman towns that were destroyed when mount vesuvius (pictured in background) erupted in 79ad this map shows the cities and towns affected by the eruption of mount vesuvius herculaneum is pictured to the west of the volcanoe pompeii is in the south east the estimated shape of the ash and cinder is shown by the dark area covering the region philodemus of gadara, born around 35 bc, and was an epicurean philosopher and poet epicurian philosophy, as established by epicurus (341 to 270 bc), taught that the purpose of life was to enjoy a happy, pain free, tranquil existence it also encouraged people to surround themselves with friends and try to live self sufficiently gadara studied in athens, before moving to rome, and then to herculaneum he is chiefly known for his poetry preserved in the greek anthology, but since the 18th century, many writings of his have been discovered among the charred papyrus rolls at the villa of the papyri at herculaneum the task of excavating and deciphering these rolls is difficult, and work continues to this day mr mocella and his colleagues used a technique called x ray phase contrast tomography, which has previously been used to examine fossils without damaging them phase contrast tomography takes advantage of subtle differences in the way radiation such as x rays pass through different substances, in this case papyrus and ink using the technology at the european synchrotron radiation facility in grenoble, france, the researchers found they were able to decipher several letters in one of the scrolls, proving that the method could be used to read what's hidden inside others the only clearly distinct marks found inside the document, are rounded or oblique traces shapes that are not easily confused with papyrus fibres which run vertically and horizontally, the researchers said for example, letters are a, b, d, e, z, y, k, l, m, n, o, p, c, u, f, x, c and o are easy to decipher while g, h, i, x, p and t are more easily confused on one fragment, the sequence of greek capital letters piptoie could be read, and the researchers believe it may read 'would fall' some of the texts recovered from what is called the villa of the papyri (ruins pictured) have been deciphered after being discovered in the 1750s but many more remain a mystery because they were so badly damaged it was feared that unrolling the papyrus they were written on would have destroyed them completely the next challenge will be to automate the process of scanning the charred lumps of papyrus (example pictured) and deciphering the texts inside them in the following line, they believe it reads 'would say', and in a later fragment the researchers identified a sequence that could be words of the verb 'to move' 'our goal was to show that the technique is sensitive to the writing,' said mr mocella in a further step, the scientists compared the handwriting to that of other texts, allowing them to conclude it was likely the work of philodemus, a poet and epicurean philosopher who died about a century before the volcanic eruption the next challenge will be to automate the process of scanning the charred lumps of papyrus and deciphering the texts inside them once achieved, it will mean 700 further scrolls stored in naples could be deciphered scholars studying the herculaneum texts said the new technique may well mark a breakthrough for their efforts to unlock the ancient philosophical ideas hidden from view for almost two millennia 'it's a philosophical library of epicurean texts from a time when this philosophy influenced the most important classical latin authors, such as virgil, horace and cicero,' said juergen hammerstaedt, a professor of greek and latin at the university of cologne, germany, who was not involved in the project 'there needs to be much work before one can virtually unroll carbonized papyrus because one will have to develop a digital method that will allow us to follow the layers,' he said 'but in the 260 years of herculaneum papyrology it is certainly a remarkable year' the findings are published in the journal nature communications

fifa secretary general jerome valcke has said a men’s world cup could be played on artificial turf 'sooner rather than later' valcke was responding to the criticism of fifa’s decision that means next year’s women’s world cup in canada will not be played on grass a number of leading women players have filed a legal challenge to the decision to play on third generation synthetic pitches, and a major part of their argument is that men would not be expected to contest a world cup on anything other than grass gareth bale playing for wales against andorra last month on artificial turf in a 2 1 win valcke said fifa understands that players want 'the best conditions to perform well' but stressed any organiser of any of its tournaments is entitled to propose artificial turf valcke insists fifa would only accept pitches 'of the highest quality', and added: 'it could well be that sooner rather than later the men’s world cup will also be played on artificial pitches' he told fifa’s website that canada’s decision to offer artificial pitches was 'due to the extreme climate in the host country', a problem that looks set to also arise when the men’s 2022 world cup is played in qatar valcke added: 'as has already been explained, this is not a question of money, or of differences between men’s and women’s events, but it is a matter of the natural conditions in canada: we want to guarantee consistent top level playing conditions for all 24 teams during the event, both in the official stadiums and at the training sites fifa secretary general jerome valcke says a men’s world cup could be played on artificial turf soon 'this has been the sole reason behind the decision to play on artificial turf from day one' artificial pitches are not allowed in england’s premier league and football league, but the latter may soon give the go ahead to their reintroduction in league one and league two, with club chairmen due to vote on november 6 such surfaces will be permitted at conference level from next season, and this season a rule change means artificial pitches are allowed at any stage of the fa cup fifa president sepp blatter told german magazine sport bild the world governing body will listen to all pitch suggestions, saying men could play a world cup on a synthetic surface 'maybe even tomorrow' blatter said: 'we are open to proposal from the local organisers, and this has been possible for years in accordance with the fifa regulations artificial turf is the future of football' england famously lost to russia in qualification for euro 2008 on artificial turf in moscow

the uk's shopping spree is set to continue today as experts predict cyber monday will see consumers spend another £650 million online within 24 hours following the chaos and flashes of violence that marred black friday, today's event is based around online purchases although many stores are still offering bargains internet shopping figures consistently peak on the first monday in december, thought to be a combination of the last payday before christmas falling on the previous friday and a weekend spent browsing the shops before buying from home below are the best deals according to femail's experts: 1 is the site genuine? it should include the retailer’s name, address and email address check for a tiny padlock or unbroken key symbol before the web address, and be sure the address begins with https:// (the ‘s’ is for ‘secure’) genuine firms won’t feature the names of popular items or cheap prices in their web address 2 research stores if you’ve spotted a gift from a relatively unknown company, google it and see what comes up check internet consumer forums when browsing for goods, don’t be fooled by a site ranked highly in search results 3 pay by credit card for goods costing £100 plus, a credit card gives more protection than a debit card, prepaid card or paypal if an order goes astray, the goods break or the firm goes bust, you can claim from the card provider never pay by cash transfer 4 spend £50 on anti virus protection from ‘phishing’ emails to spyware, fraudsters are adept at hacking online accounts, so get an up to date firewall from the likes of norton or mcafee for £20 to £50 5 passwords should not be too personal avoid obvious names or dates, and try not to use the same password for all sites to create a complex password, use a mnemonic: for example, pick a song, the year it came out, and stick a £ sign at the end you can vary it for different websites by adding the first two letters of the site you’re visiting 6 switch off or log out turn off a pc if you’re not using it, especially after a browsing session (a favourite time for hackers) if a site offers you a choice of storing your payment details or making a one off purchase, go for the latter 7 use a store’s app if you’re buying gifts and using your smartphone, do it on the retailer’s app rather than using the main website a dedicated app, if available, offers greater software protection than a web browser, especially if you’re in a public place 8 if you’re still nervous choose websites that allow you to order online but pay only when you pick up the goods in person high street names including waterstones, argos and pc world now offer this

1992 and 2004 mr wardle would not confirm the exact figure but said that flowers had been suspended immediately when concerns were raised he said: ‘trustees at lifeline are disappointed to hear the news regarding rev paul flowers this week ed miliband hosted dinners for disgraced bank chief paul flowers at one of london’s plushest restaurants, it emerged yesterday labour sources confirmed that flowers, then chairman of the co op bank, attended two dinners at the cinnamon club as a member of the labour leader’s elite business and industry advisory board the shamed methodist minister was recruited by mr miliband in 2011 to advise him on banking reform, although it has since emerged he had no banking qualifications the dinners, in july and november of 2011, were both attended by about 20 labour friendly business people, allowing them extraordinary access to the labour leader they are likely to have cost thousands of pounds the cinnamon club in westminster specialises in modern indian cuisine and is one of the most expensive restaurants of its kind a typical meal there could easily cost upwards of £80 per head specials on last night’s menu included ‘spice crusted fillet steak of wagyu beef with stir fried baby morels and saffron sauce’, priced at £95 the wine list includes a number of vintage bottles, such as a chateau latour 1959, which costs £3,130 'paul flowers and lifeline parted company in 2004 when concerns were identified regarding rev flowers’s expenses, i took immediate steps with the assistance of lifeline’s solicitor to suspend rev flowers’ mr wardle added: ‘the charity commission was also fully informed of the findings of the investigation and the outcome rev flowers resigned from his (voluntary and unpaid) position as chairman of trustees before our own internal proceedings could be concluded’ the charity’s income is generated via public sector grants and local contracts and a variety of small local and specialist scheme funds in another development, it emerged that flowers was made chairman of governors of a yorkshire primary school after pornography was found on his council laptop he was given the prestigious role at lidget green school, bradford, after he had resigned over the laptop incident in 2011 the school said last night it had not been told by the council about the incident and had ‘no reason to believe’ he had resigned for reasons other than those he had officially stated this was that he had ‘increasing and competing demands’ on his time flowers, who has been ‘suspended indefinitely’ from the methodist church, led the co op bank for three years earlier this week it was revealed that he used his co op email account to hire a rent boy for sex ciaron dodd said they met for depraved sessions in plush hotels – in rooms paid for by the struggling co op it has also emerged that flowers was convicted of gross indecency in a public toilet with a man in 1981, but he was forgiven by the methodist church he admitted the offence at fareham magistrates’ court in hampshire, and was fined £75 with £35 legal costs allegations: ciaron dodd, left, claims that he met flowers, right, in plush hotels paid for by the struggling co op for depraved sex sessions bradford council was under fire last night after apparently failing to inform labour party headquarters of the gay porn found on paul flowers’ work laptop the former banking boss was allowed to continue with his high profile role with the party even after resigning from the council in disgrace flowers, 63, was confronted by council officials in 2011 after it workers found the images while mending his computer high profile: flowers (right) with lord mayor of bradford peter hill he resigned immediately – but the official reason given was that he was leaving for family reasons and because of his high pressured job at co op bank last night, it emerged that senior executives at the council were aware of the incident, as was the then labour leader of the council but no one thought it was appropriate to make public the real reasons behind his departure flowers was even appointed as chairman of the governors at lidget green primary school, in bradford, after he had resigned as councillor last night, there was anger among councillors who said the public had a right to know what flowers had done councillor paul cromie said: ‘this looks like a cover up when flowers resigned, there was a press release issued which said his workload was too heavy ‘if the council leader knew the real reason at the time, then he should have told labour hq it would have been his duty 'i also think the electorate had a right to know – after all, they are the ones that elected him’ the leader of the council when flowers resigned was ian greenwood, who lost his seat to a respect party candidate in may 2012 before flowers left, he said: ‘paul is a tremendously gifted and committed individual who has made a significant and lasting contribution to the community in great horton, to the council and to the labour group ‘i will be sad to see him go but i fully understand the reasoning behind paul’s decision’ but despite his public praise, it now appears he knew about the porn – and chose not to make it widely known councillor david green, current leader of bradford council, said he did not know whether his predecessor had taken action he said: ‘i don’t know what happened at the time and i don’t know who was given information if the labour party are saying that they weren’t informed then i have no reason to disbelieve them’ a council spokesman said it was not considered necessary to alert labour headquarters or the public because flowers had not broken the law – just council rules connections: flowers, pictured here (centre) at a downing street reception in 2010, was once invited to ed miliband¿s office for private talks the spokesman said: ‘it must be emphasised that this material was not illegal in the light of the resignation no further investigations into how the material came to be on the computer were required ‘it was a potential breach of the council’s internal policy’ a labour spokesman yesterday insisted ed miliband and other senior figures were not told why flowers had been forced to resign from bradford council, but did not deny that some mps and shadow ministers may have known the spokesman said: ‘the leader of the labour party did not know, the shadow cabinet did not know no one who could reasonably be described as being in a position of leadership knew about this’ mr greenwood was not able to be contacted yesterday

pupils at a christian school have been branded bigots after a young boy gave the wrong answer when asked what a muslim was durham free has been told to close after inspectors branded it an educational failure and said some children displayed ‘discriminatory views’ toward people of other faiths the boy’s answer to the muslim question apparently included a reference to terrorism but teachers said the verdict was grossly unfair and based on a throwaway and ignorant comment made by a single pupil they said the school’s christian ethos made it an easy target for officials who wanted to show they were promoting the government’s diversity agenda closing down: durham free has been told to close after inspectors branded it an educational failure and said some children displayed ‘discriminatory views’ toward people of other faiths a second christian school in the area has been put into special measures inspectors also concluded its children were intolerant after allegedly asking ten year old pupils what lesbians ‘did’ teachers at grindon hall christian school in sunderland said the critical ofsted report came as a shock because it was performing well there are claims that some schools – mainly those with a religious ethos or in areas with few ethnic minority pupils – have been put under undue pressure by a requirement to promote british values such as tolerance, fairness, respect for other faiths and the rule of law and democracy the rules were introduced to combat extremism in the wake of investigations into the trojan horse takeover scandal in birmingham prebendary rod thomas, of the reform council and a member of the general synod, said the plight of the two schools was disturbing ‘when the future of entire schools can be prejudiced on the basis of what appear to be a few conversations with individual pupils, it raises very serious concerns,’ he added special measures: the headmaster of grindon hall christian school (pictured) said the critical inspection by ofsted, which was published on the school's website, came as a 'huge shock' to staff, parents and pupils ‘these two cases highlight important issues about how ofsted are interpreting the guidance they have been given’ simon calvert of the christian institute said: ‘the government’s british values regime is twisting ofsted’s priorities out of all proportion inspectors are asking all kinds of invasive questions and then issuing reports that the parents whose children attend the school don’t recognise’ durham free school, which has 94 pupils aged 11 to 13, was praised by then education secretary michael gove after it opened in september 2013 but when it was inspected in november, ofsted failed it on a wide range of factors including poor teaching, attainment and behaviour ‘standards are low and progress is inadequate,’ inspectors said ‘students’ achievement is weak’ new rules: guidelines, introduced by the education secretary nicky morgan (pictured) last year, require schools actively to promote 'british values' including democracy, liberty and tolerance' it will now close at easter after education secretary nicky morgan announced her department was withdrawing its funding the inspecting team, which was led by joan hewitt, concluded: ‘leaders are failing to prepare students for life in modern britain some students hold discriminatory views of other people who have different faiths, values or beliefs from themselves’ but according to teachers, the team based this view on speaking to the boy of around 12 who was asked about muslims during a group discussion his answer included a reference to terrorism acting headmaster julian eisner, 57, said: ‘the pupil’s reply displayed a very disappointing level of ignorance but, in the context, did not provide evidence of a discriminatory attitude ‘the school wholeheartedly agreed with ofsted inspectors that there is progress to be made to guarantee all pupils articulate and share the tolerant attitudes that are embedded in the school’s christian ethos’ petrina douglas, who is a parent governor, said: ‘it feels like the school has been made a scapegoat durham is primarily white british so knowledge of other cultures is not as prevalent but i don’t think the children are bigoted’ chris gray, principal of grindon hall, said: ‘it is now well known that the manner in which inspectors questioned our pupils in november was hostile, inappropriate and raises serious safeguarding issues ofsted’s approach to us was negative at every stage, as if the data collected had to fit a predetermined outcome’ yesterday, a department for education spokesman said of grindon hall: ‘this school has been troubled for some time and ofsted have been monitoring it carefully this report shows that problems persist and there are continued concerns about leadership, the quality of learning and safeguarding’ education secretary nicky morgan said of durham free school: ‘it is failing to ensure children are looked after, failing to provide an environment in which children are able to learn and failing to provide the quality of education that we expect’ open: grindon hall, which teaches pupils aged four to 18, has a christian ethos but no faith based selection criteria, resulting in an intake that includes pupils from various religions

astronomers at nasa have discovered a pink alien planet orbiting a star like our sun 57 light years away that they said is the smallest by mass photographed so far scientists believe the planet, gj 504b, is thought to be a magenta colour, based on infrared data from the subaru telescope in hawaii while gj 504b is the the lowest mass planet ever detected around a star using direct imaging techniques, but it is still several times the mass of jupiter and similar in size the planet, gj 504b (pictured) is the smallest exoplanet by mass orbiting a star like our sun, some 57 light years away it is thought to be a magenta colour, based on infrared data from the subaru telescope in hawaii michael mcelwain, a member of the discovery team at nasa's goddard space flight centre in greenbelt, maryland, said: 'if we could travel to this giant planet, we would see a world still glowing from the heat of its formation with a color reminiscent of a dark cherry blossom, a dull magenta' 'our near infrared camera reveals that its color is much more blue than other imaged planets, which may indicate that its atmosphere has fewer clouds' gj 504b orbits its star at nearly nine times the distance jupiter orbits the sun, which poses a challenge to theoretical ideas of how giant planets form according to the most widely accepted theory, called the core accretion model, jupiter like planets begin their life in the gas rich debris disk that surrounds a young star, francis reddy of nasa explained this composite combines subaru images of gj 504 using two near infrared wavelengths (orange, 16 micrometers, taken in may 2011 and blue, 12 micrometers, april 2012) once processed to remove scattered starlight, the images reveal the orbiting planet, gj 504b a core produced by collisions among asteroids and comets provides a 'seed' and when this core reaches sufficient mass, its gravitational pull rapidly attracts gas from the disk to form the planet while this theory holds true for planets in our solar system out to where neptune orbits, it is more problematic for worlds located farther from their stars pink planet gj 504b lies at a projected distance of 435 astronomical units from its star which is around one and a half times the distance neptune is from our sun markus janson, a hubble postdoctoral fellow at princeton university in new jersey said: 'this is among the hardest planets to explain in a traditional planet formation framework' 'its discovery implies that we need to seriously consider alternative formation theories, or perhaps to reassess some of the basic assumptions in the core accretion theory' the astronomers said gj 504b is about four times the mass of jupiter and has a temperature of around 237 celsius its star, gj 504 also known as 59 virginis (circled) is slightly hotter than the sun and can be seen in the constellation virgo in this chart and can be seen without using a telescope, according to nasa the research is part of the strategic explorations of exoplanets and disks with subaru (seeds), a project to directly image extrasolar planets and protoplanetary disks around several hundred nearby stars using the subaru telescope on mauna kea, hawaii the five year project began in 2009 and is led by the national astronomical observatory of japan (naoj) while direct imaging is arguably the most important technique for observing planets around other stars, it is also the most challenging masayuki kuzuhara at the tokyo institute of technology, who led the discovery team, said: 'imaging provides information about the planet’s luminosity, temperature, atmosphere and orbit, but because planets are so faint and so close to their host stars, it's like trying to take a picture of a firefly near a searchlight' the astronomers said gj 504b is about four times the mass of jupiter and has a temperature of around 237 celsius its star is slightly hotter than the sun, which can be seen in the constellation virgo the study on gj 504b will be published in the astrophysical journal
gj hawaii jupiter nasa 504b virgo
nasa believes the planet, gj 504b is a magenta colour, based on infrared data from the subaru telescope in hawaii the pink planet orbits its star at nearly nine times the distance jupiter orbits the sun to challenge theoretical ideas of how giant planets form gj 504b is about four times the mass of jupiter and its star can be seen without a telescope in the constellation virgo

nick clegg refuses to even discuss the idea of tightening laws to prevent knife wielding thugs avoiding jail a crackdown to prevent knife wielding thugs escaping jail is being opposed by nick clegg and other senior liberal democrats, extraordinary leaked cabinet papers reveal despite heightened public concern over knife crime following the classroom stabbing of teacher ann maguire, the deputy prime minister and senior colleagues flatly refused to support a tightening of the law in private whitehall talks this week in one letter to mr clegg, sent on tuesday and marked 'restricted' but leaked to the daily mail, chief secretary to the treasury danny alexander insists jailing more offenders caught with blades would cost too much money ‘it is very hard to see how it could be afforded the treasury does not support this amendment and i am not willing to clear it,’ the lib dem minister writes in another letter to the deputy prime minister, lib dem schools minister david laws says mandatory minimum sentences are ‘too blunt an instrument’ and he is also ‘unwilling’ to support the proposed change in the law justice secretary chris grayling has drawn up plans to legislate so that offenders caught more than once with a blade are automatically jailed, according to senior sources the review is understood to have been prompted by alarming evidence that thugs are escaping jail despite repeatedly flouting the law by carrying knives currently, around four out of five of those convicted of a knife crime do not go to prison incredibly, forty per cent of criminals with at least three previous convictions are given soft sentences, such as fines, cautions, community punishments or suspended jail terms in a move backed by home secretary theresa may, education secretary michael gove and defence secretary philip hammond, mr grayling is proposing to use a new criminal justice and courts bill to make sentencing tougher for knife possession conservative ministers want the measure put before mps within weeks, pointing to heightened public anxiety over knife crime in the wake of the tragic death of 61 year old mrs maguire in her leeds classroom on monday stabbed: conservative ministers want the measure put before mps within weeks, following the death of 61 year old ann maguire in her leeds classroom on monday but the documents leaked to the mail reveal that the proposal has become the subject of a fierce argument at the top of the coalition one well placed source said mr clegg, who chairs the cabinet home affairs committee, declined even to discuss it when it was raised in a meeting of the senior ministers on the body on wednesday ‘chris grayling pointed out that they had not talked about this change in the law to introduce much more serious penalties for knife crime and this was the forum to discuss it,’ said the source ‘nick clegg said “we haven’t discussed it and i am not going to have it discussed” he said “i’m in charge of this committee forget it” it was unbelievable’ furious tories say they now plan to vote in favour of the measure despite the lib dem stance, with a commons motion expected to be tabled as soon as today by backbench mp nick de bois rejected: danny alexander wrote this letter, leaked to the mail, telling nick clegg the laws would be too costly in a letter dated april 29, sent by mr alexander to mr clegg ahead of the meeting, the chief secretary said he had ‘serious concerns’ about tightening the law ‘it would impose a substantial new pressure on the prison population as soon as it is implemented the ministry of justice’s budget is already under significant strain and this proposal would certainly not be affordable before 2016/17,’ he wrote ‘it is very hard to see how it could be afforded afterwards given the further fiscal consolidation required in the next parliament’ mr alexander acknowledged mr grayling’s pledge only to implement the new system when it is affordable, but added: ‘my strong view is that we should not be seeking to put measures on the statute book if they could not realistically be commenced for several years at best ‘the treasury does not support this amendment and i am not willing to clear it’ schools minister mr laws, in a letter to mr clegg dated april 14, insisted judges should be free to give repeat offenders whatever punishment they see fit david laws branded the mandatory minimum sentence 'too blunt an instrument' in his letter to nick clegg justice secretary chris grayling (left) said now is the time to discuss a change in the law but liberal democrat and chief secretary to the treasury danny alexander (right) insists tighter restrictions would be too costly ‘the principle of judicial discretion is the cornerstone of our sentencing framework and mandatory minimum sentences restrict such discretion and can lead to unintended or unwelcome outcomes,’ he wrote ‘i have concerns about the impact on the prison population and the deliverability of the policy within this parliament i am therefore unwilling to clear this proposal’ another coalition source said veteran cabinet minister kenneth clarke, who was mr grayling predecessor as justice secretary and was attacked as too liberal by mps on the right of his party, is understood to be the only senior conservative backing the lib dem position ‘ken doesn’t like any toughening up of the justice system at all,’ said the source it is understood that the tightening in the law so that anyone convicted on their second offence – or more – would automatically be jailed it would mean several hundreds more offenders a year facing jail and sent a powerful message to criminals that the use of blades will not be tolerated tragic: hundreds of tributes have been left outside corpus christi college for mrs maguire after her death, believed to be the first killing in a british classrom, shook the nation today mrs maguire's family gathered to read the tributes as conservative leaders were said to be drafting plans to legislate so that offenders caught more than once with a blade are automatically jailed the tories made toughening the law on knife crime a key manifesto pledge, suggesting before the last general election that anyone caught carrying a knife should expect to face a prison sentence to the fury of right wing tories, mr clarke abandoned the idea of a blanket promise, but the government has taken a series of steps to tighten the law for some offenders the government introduced an offence of ‘aggravated knife crime’ for over 16s who use a knife to threaten or endanger others in a public place, which is supposed to carry a mandatory custodial sentence the offence of aggravated knife possession came into force at the end of 2012 judges must impose a custodial sentence a minimum six months for an adult or a four month detention and training order for 16 and 17 year olds unless the court considers there are special circumstances which would make it unjust to do so despite the crackdown, government figures last year found that even in such cases, fewer than half of those found guilty of threatening someone with a knife were receiving a jail term a senior lib dem source said: 'this policy is under discussion and no decisions have been taken different members of the government, of different colour, have expressed concerns about its affordability'

ptsd, it has been claimed omar j gonzalez, 42,  was arrested by the secret service yesterday after agents claimed he made a dash for the presidential residence while carrying a three and a half inch folding knife gonzalez, who is thought to have served 18 years in the military, including three tours in iraq, and reportedly told secret service agents he was convinced 'the atmosphere was collapsing' and that he needed to warn the president scroll down for video easy as pie: an intruder (left) simply hopped the white house fence and somehow made it all the way to the executive mansion before the secret service was able to stop him a security guard (right) watched incredulously as the man ran in from the street to president obama's home arrested: kevin carr, 19 of new jersey, was arrested after he allegedly refused to leave a restricted area near the white house a bomb squad was deployed to check his car in the second security scare at the white house in as many days his family, speaking to the la times today, told how he used to patrol the iraqi capital of baghdad, was injured in the line of duty, and now suffers from post traumatic stress disorder (ptsd) weapon? gonzalez was allegedly carrying this model of blade the three and a half inch spyderco vg 10 folding knife an unidentified family member said: 'his job was running patrols in baghdad when his humvee was hit' 'a portion of his foot was amputated and the evidence is the limp you see in the video of him running across the white house lawn' military sources told the newspaper he served until 2012, when he was honorably discharged according to family members, for part of his time in the army he was a sniper it also emerged today that gonzalez, of copperas grove, texas, was allegedly carrying a serrated blade with him —  despite earlier claims that he had been entirely unarmed a police affidavit, seen by abc news, said that he had a spyderco vg 10 black folding knife in the front pocket of his pants when he was arrested in the wake of his attempt on the white house, the secret service announced new, tougher security it came shortly after another man — kevin carr of shamong, new jersey — was apprehended trying to get inside on saturday, less than 24 hours after gonzalez's alleged dash agents were criticized for not apprehending the man sooner, and admitted themselves their performance was 'not acceptable,' leading to new measures being put in place president obama and his family were not in the white house at the time, but had left just moments before by helicopter on alert: an explosive technician in a bomb suit approaches a vehicle at the white house today the second man carr, who was arrested on saturday, tried to enter on foot at 15th and e streets then later returned in a car he would not stop his vehicle when secret service ordered him and refused to leave when asked, cnn reported a bomb squad was deployed and was spotted checking through a white sedan with new jersey platses, nbc philadelphia reported carr, who is either 18 or 19, was arrested and charged with unlawful entry in the wake of criticism over their handling of white house security — particularly after the first intruder got so close — the agency pledged to redouble their efforts in a statement, secret service officials said: 'the challenge of securing the white house complex from security threats is ever present 'although last night the officers showed tremendous restraint and discipline in dealing with this subject, the location of gonzalez’s arrest is not acceptable 'in addition to the criminal investigation of gonzalez by the secret service’s washington field office, director julia pierson immediately ordered the secret service’s office of professional responsibility to conduct a comprehensive after action review of the incident' uniformed secret service officers walk saturday along the fence that an intruder hopped to get into the white house a day earlier uniformed secret service officers do a security sweep along the lawn on the north side of the white house on saturday the statement continued: 'in the interim, director pierson has ordered the immediate enhancement of officer patrols and surveillance capabilities along the pennsylvania avenue fence line around the white house complex these measures went into effect last night' president obama has backed the agency a white house spokesman said: 'the president has full confidence in the secret service and is grateful to the men and women who day in and day out protect himself, his family and the white house' the spokesman did not directly address the issue of the second intruder evacuation: a secret service guard gives directions during the white house evacuation for the secret service, the breaches were a devastating episode that prompted fresh questions about the storied agency and its ability to protect the president the republican party's jason chaffetz, who chairs the house of representatives' subpanel on national security oversight, called it 'totally unacceptable' but said the incident was just one of a string of security failings on the secret service's watch 'unfortunately, they are failing to do their job,' chaffetz said 'these are good men and women, but the secret service leadership has a lot of questions to answer' 'was the door open?' he added incredulously guns at the ready: an armed secret service guard stands in front of a fence with an automatic rifle response: flashing lights could be seen gathered in front of the south portico of the building tonight leaving: members of the media were herded out of the white house after the intruder approached flying away: obama, his daughter sasha (second left) and an unidentified friend (left) were pictured heading to the presidential retreat at camp david experts say friday's breach was the first time in recent memory that an intruder actually made it inside the white house after hopping the fence the attempts, however, have been many: sept 11: a 'pokemon' nut wearing a bright yellow pikachu hat was caught walking down the north lawn seconds after jumping his motives remain unclear aug 7: a presidential address on iraq was postponed — and the whole place put on lockdown — after a toddler squeezed through the fence on pennsylvania avenue, making it onto the lawn june 2013: joseph reel, of ohio, crashed a driverless jeep into the fence to create a distraction so he could enter and spray paint the white house he was sentenced to 3 years behind bars november 2009: three people crashed a state dinner for indian premier manmohan singh they somehow made it past several security checkpoints and even met president obama 2001 2009: six people jumped the fence — but were all caught almost immediately after landing on the grass one of them, brian patterson, was on his third attempt when he was caught in april 2006 although it is not uncommon for people to make it over the white house fence, they're typically stopped almost immediately and rarely get very far video from the scene showed the friday intruder, gonzalez, sprinting across the lawn as secret service agents shouted at nearby pedestrians to clear the area 'this situation was a little different than other incidents we have at the white house,' donovan said 'this incident is the most shocking example yet of how dangerously lax the secret service has become, failing at its most basic job — to protect the president and first family in the white house,' said washington insider ronald kessler, who's written several books on the secret service he added to mailonline: 'because of corner cutting and an ingrained cultural attitude by management of 'we make do with less,' the secret service is not protecting the white house with adequate agents and uniformed officers and is not keeping up to date with the latest devices for detecting intruders and weapons of mass destruction' kessler — who revealed the embarrassing scandal about secret service agents hiring prostitutes in colombia — said it's 'arrogance' that the white house doesn't even have a front door lock 'if the intruder were carrying chemical, biological or radiological weapons and president obama and his family had been in, we would have had a dead president as well as a dead first family,' said kessler, who authored 'the first family detail: secret service agents reveal the hidden lives of the presidents' moments before: the intruder charged just minutes after obama, pictured right with his daughter malia, left the white

a study found people are still most likely to contact members of their own racial background on dating websites race still matters when it comes to searching for a partner at least online, according to a new study a sociologist has found that members of dating sites are most likely to contact individuals who share their own racial background, on dating websites professor kevin lewis studied the interaction patterns of 126,134 users of dating website okcupidcom in the us over a  two and a half month period the sociologist, from the university of california, san diego, found the tendency to initiate contact with someone from a shared race, is strongest among asians and indians and weakest among whites, the study said professor lewis only took heterosexual interactions 'for apples to apples comparison with the majority of previous findings' into account and only for individuals who identified themselves as one of the website's five most popular racial categories, including: black, white, asian (east asian), hispanic/latino and indian (south asian) in the study, published in the proceedings of the national academy of sciences, he analysed the first message sent and the first reply only looking at the data about the sender, receiver and time stamp of the message, rather than its content, which was stripped while he said white people were the most likely to consider relationships with people from other ethnic backgrounds, he said the biggest 'reversals' in preference, are observed among groups that display the greatest tendency towards in group bias professor lewis' study also found that a person who is contacted by someone from a different racial background for the first time is more likely to reply, which he explains using his theory about 'pre emptive discrimination' 'based on a lifetime of experiences in a racist and racially segregated society, people anticipate discrimination on the part of a potential recipient and are largely unwilling to reach out in the first place,' he said the study found that once an individual has replied to a suitor from a different race on an online dating site, they are more likely to cross racial lines and initiate interracial contact in the future 'but if a person of another race expresses interest in them first, their assumptions are falsified and they are more willing to take a chance on people of that race in the future' however, the assistant professor of sociology in the uc san diego division of social sciences, warns that the effect is sort lived as people go back to habitual patterns in around a week explaining why, professor lewis said: 'the new found optimism is quickly overwhelmed by the status quo and the normal state of affairs 'racial bias in assortative mating is a robust and ubiquitous social phenomenon and one that is difficult to surmount even with small steps in the right direction we still have a long way to go' professor kevin lewis studied the interaction patterns of 126,134 users of dating website okcupidcom the study found found the tendency to initiate contact with someone from a shared race, is strongest among asians and indians white people were the most likely to consider relationships with people from other ethnic backgrounds, it said the biggest 'reversals' in preference, are observed among groups that display the greatest tendency towards in group bias an estimated 20 per cent of heterosexual relationships now begin online earlier research into racial bias in assortative mating (or the non random pairings of people with similar traits) had trouble disentangling how much was due to prejudice and how much to geography or meeting opportunities however, professor lewis said he was able to take these factors into account with his analysis 'online dating is providing new insights into the timeless social process of finding a romantic partner,' he added an estimated 20 per cent of heterosexual relationships and almost 70 per cent of same sex relationships now begin online, providing a rich source of data for social scientists previous work on mate selection has often been based on marriage records, which don't contain any information about a romance's early days, or on self report surveys, when people are more likely to present themselves in the best, least prejudiced light while the study might make for depressing reading, professor lewis said it shows people are more likely to reciprocate a cross race message than previous research would lead to scientists to expect once an individual has replied to a suitor from a different race, they are more likely to cross racial lines and initiate interracial contact in the future professor lewis says internet dating is able to begin to change humans' ingrained patterns of choosing partners because they are often based on false premises

a convicted killer who died on death row in 2011 was responsible for more than 100 murders including those of jonbenet ramsey and jimmy hoffa, a new book claims retired cold case detective john cameron, who helped bring suspects to trial in several murder cases, claims that edward wayne edwards was also the zodiac killer and the black dahlia killer the astonishing claims are detailed in cameron's new book, 'it's me: edward wayne edwards, the serial killer you never heard of' cameron says his investigations pin scores of murders to edwards, who, in 2010, confessed to five killings dating back to 1977 these included his foster son, whom he killed for his $25,000 life insurance serial killer: edward wayne edwards, pictured left in a mug shot and right after he married and had a family, confessed to five killings in 2010 but now a detective has claimed he was responsible for many more murderer: edwards, left, pictured in 2010, was sentenced to death but died of natural causes in 2011 he was sentenced to death but he passed away, aged 77, of natural causes just a month before he was to be executed cameron worked for the great falls police force in montana for 24 years, including 14 years specializing in cold case investigations, before retiring in 2005 he went to work for the montana parole board and when edwards confessed to the killings in 2010, he realized there was a link between two of the murders and an unsolved murder in great falls, the great falls tribune reported edwards had confessed to killing a teenage couple who disappeared from a wedding reception in wisconsin in 1980, where edwards worked, and an ohio couple in 1977 the nature of the killings shooting the lovers in the back of their heads was similar to the unsolved killings of patricia kalitzke, 16, and lloyd bogle, 18, in 1956, cameron thought bogle was found bound up and shot in the back of the head in his car in a lovers lane, while kalitzke's body was found miles away, also shot author: retired cold case detective john cameron, pictured, investigated the case for four years cameron looked into the case and found that deer lodge prison records indicated edwards had arrived in great falls in january 1956 before he was arrested for a robbery that march 'you have an admitted serial killer who was in town on the day that we have a double murder of a couple on lover’s lane in 1956,' cameron told the tribune 'that's the evidence i have' dna evidence from kalitzke's body does not match edwards', but cameron said that he believed the sample had been contaminated instead, he has pushed on with connecting the killer to unsolved cases as well as cases that have been solved in these, he believes the wrong person is serving time in prison 'i was able to place him in great falls at the time of the murder, and from there it’s spiraled into following his life,' he said cameron began reading a memoir written by edwards in 1972 called 'metamorphosis of a criminal', and claims his whereabouts throughout that time place him near to the scenes of murders victims? cameron noticed that the crimes he confessed to bore similarities to the unsolved murders of patricia kalitzke and lloyd bogle, pictured, in 1956 and started investigating further possible connections 'the great falls murder was in there, and once i determined that, i decided to follow the whole book and see where else he killed, and it unraveled the worst serial killer that's ever been,' he told krtv 'it got to the point where it never stopped, and it just leading me and leading me' cameron quit his parole board job to pursue the investigation and traveled across the country to interview edwards' family members from his four year investigation, he concluded that edwards is responsible for more than 100 deaths which would make him the most prolific american serial killer of the last century, if true cameron also believes edwards is responsible for deaths linked to the zodiac killer during the 1960s and 1970s in northern california he adds that edwards is responsible for the killings of child beauty queen jonbenet ramsey in boulder, colorado in 1996 and union leader jimmy hoffa, who vanished in 1975 aged 62 did he kill them? cameron claims he also killed child beauty pageant star jonbenet ramsey, left, who was killed in colorado in 1996, and jimmy hoffa, right, who vanished from detroit in 1975 murdered: cameron also says he was responsible for the murder of the zodiac killer in northern california in the 1960s and 1970s, including victims betty lou jensen (left) and darlene ferrin (right) on his website, cameron claims that 'edwards had been killing children his entire life' and in ramsey's case, he left behind a false ransom note as he had been doing for years 'the jonbenet ransom note was a parable of edwards' life of killing,' he explained cameron also explains that in 1978, edwards was interviewed by fbi agents about the murder of hoffa and he fled shortly afterwards cameron said he knows some people do not believe his version of events 'i didn't allow things to come in unless the evidence really was there,' he said 'as it played out, it got worse and worse and worse'

chinese officials used a presidential visit to smuggle ivory out of tanzania, an environmental watchdog has said diplomats and businessmen bought so much illegal ivory during the visit by president xi jinping in 2013 that local prices doubled, the environmental investigation agency (eia) found ivory is a highly prized status symbol in china, which is the biggest importer of smuggled tusks tanzania is the largest source of poached ivory chinese led criminal gangs conspired with corrupt tanzanian officials to traffic thousands of kilos of ivory, some of which was loaded in diplomatic bags on xi's plane during the presidential visit, the eia report said chinese led criminal gangs conspired with corrupt tanzanian officials to traffic thousands of kilos of ivory the illicit trade began to explode in china in 2008, when beijing was permitted to purchase 62 tons of ivory under the convention on international trade of endangered species the purchase was presented as a way to keep alive china's traditional artisan ivory carving industry a state owned enterprise was authorized to sell the legal ivory to about 200 licensed factories and vendors but, after legal pieces started showing up in shops, ivory soon became a status symbol in china diplomats and businessmen bought so much illegal ivory during the visit by president xi jinping in 2013 that local prices doubled carved ivory has historically been highly prized in china, and its scarcity has turned it into an investment choice akin to gold and silver critics say the legal stockpile of ivory has provided a convenient cover for a thriving black market in recent years although there have been efforts in beijing to end the illegal trade, the licensing system in china is flawed and enforcement is lax, said grace ge gabriel, asian regional director for international fund for animal welfare

sportsmail's jamie redknapp picked diego costa as one of his 10 players to watch at the beginning of the season, writing: 'watch him wrestling with defenders, pulling and scratching and diving to win penalties jose will love him, defenders will hate him! he is a finisher and i fancy him to settle quickly and score plenty' after watching diego costa closely at atletico madrid last season, i picked him as one of my 10 to watch this time around so far, so good the spaniard is an absolute animal and has made a sensational start to his chelsea career he charges around like the tasmanian devil and the everton defence looked petrified of him at goodison park every game he looks like scoring that’s because he is so hungry and you don’t always see that same drive in every striker jose mourinho accused some of the everton players of picking on costa, but he doesn’t look like the kind of person you can bully! he can be wound up but his spat with seamus coleman didn’t bother me in the slightest he’s a winner and can be a revelation in this league video scroll down to watch jose mourinho praise diego costa after everton win have some of that! diego costa celebrates in front of seamus coleman as chelsea beat everton on saturday how's he missed that? mario balotelli might've had a hat trick on his liverpool debut away at tottenham in and out debut: angel di maria wasn't able to make a significant impact on the game at burnley the best thing that happened to liverpool on sunday was mario balotelli not scoring if he had, the game and the headlines would all be about him instead it was another team display that showed the gulf in class between spurs and liverpool balotelli bought into the work ethic and brendan rodgers will hope he keeps it up as for his team mate, raheem sterling is now england’s best player he is lightning fast, beats defenders for fun and has all the ability to become our talisman what a start to the season for nathan dyer and swansea the winger has three goals in three games and swansea are joint top of the league with nine out of nine points garry monk is doing a fine job, bringing in good players like bafetimbi gomis but also clearing out others like chico flores, who i always felt was a bit of a david luiz defender — something of a liability a lot of people tipped swansea to go down this season on this form? not a chance all smiles: morgan schneiderlin is mobbed by his southampton team mates as they beat west ham after getting sacked by man city in 2009, saturday’s win will have felt very good for stoke boss mark hughes he and his players will have watched city tear apart liverpool last week and probably thought to themselves: ‘my god, this could be a nightmare for us’ a lot of teams will go to the etihad with damage limitation in mind, but not stoke they arrived with a game plan and were well organised city only lost once at home last season — to chelsea in february — so full credit to stoke you will have to go a long way to find a better result in the league this season no matter how much he cost, angel di maria was never going to arrive at old trafford, wave a magic wand and turn them into the united of old he showed glimpses of quality at burnley but the team are playing with fear, probably for the first time in their lives louis van gaal will hate not being able to work with several players over the international break, because there is a lot to be done but after planes over the stadium and being made a scapegoat last season, david moyes must be relieved to know it was not just down to him too much too soon? youngster yaya sanogo struggles when he leads the line for arsenal only a few days ago arsene wenger said yaya sanogo could be the man to lead the line for arsenal in their title challenge this season no goals in 16 games shows he is not the answer arsenal have a team of playmakers but imagine if they had a world class striker to finish off those chances? even with olivier giroud fit they lack firepower wenger now says he will be active in the transfer market to solve the problem, but to leave it this late is ridiculous after his year at man united did not go to plan, wilfried zaha has, to an extent, come home to palace the key for him is having a boss who believes in him the fans already love him at palace and will even more after his late equaliser at newcastle he has talent and this is a good chance for him to remind us all what he’s capable of five years ago charlie austin was playing for poole town now he’s scoring goals in the premier league as a player you always have some doubts and missing that penalty on the opening day won’t have helped, but there’s no doubt he can cut it i saw him the evening after the game and congratulated him, but when i asked my dad if i should buy him a bottle of champagne, it was a definite no! that’s the dedication needed at the top level these days storming run: mame biram diouf travelled 70 yards to score stoke's winner against manchester city tottenham v liverpool is now the joint highest scoring premier league fixture in history, with liverpool v newcastle both fixtures have had a total of 129 goals i had an element of sympathy for morgan schneiderlin this summer he wanted out but had to watch as his friends were all sold off around him but results like saturday’s will make it much easier for him to stay a little while longer at southampton players have been known to go on strike to force a move but it looks like the frenchman is happy to knuckle down he is a box to box midfielder who can do it all and, with ronald koeman giving him licence to play further forward, he’s adding goals to his game, too but if he does keep his shooting boots on, he needs to remember to celebrate a bit more his body language was slightly odd at west ham — goals don’t come along that often from midfield so you have to enjoy them! where's this come from? swansea's nathan dyer already has three premier league goals this season stories: wilfried zaha celebrates scoring an equaliser on his second debut for crystal palace at newcastle

capturing the beauty of nature used to require some serious kit a dedicated camera complete with an array of state of the art lenses but the professional's monopoly on breathtaking nature photography could be about to be over news photographer mikael buck has captured a stunning portfolio of images using just his smartphone as a camera although he does rely on a detachable lens to zoom in on ice crystals on leaves and insects' hypnotic multi faceted eyes renowned news photographer mikael buck created stunning images by using his smartphone and a lens attachment this picture shows the head of a purple emperor butterfly on show at the haslemere museum in surrey, including its proboscis a tubular mouth part used for feeding and sucking his photos show the iridescent cells of dragonfly wings, furry antennae and ice crystals forming on leaves, which were shot in the woods of london's hampstead heath the london based photographer used sony’s qx1 lens style camera, which retails at around £250 it clips onto a smartphone or tablet, as well as a tripod to keep his smartphone steady while talking the close up shots the first set of images taken on hampstead heath, show crisp ice crystals forming on leaves, which would be almost impossible to capture with a standard smartphone camera mr buck used the qx1 and an extra macro lens to reveal the intricate ice structures and kept the same set up to photograph beetles and butterflies in microscopic detail at the haslemere museum, which has over 65,000 insects in its collection the first set of images taken on hampstead heath, show crisp ice crystals forming on leaves (pictured), which would be almost impossible to capture with a standard smartphone camera mr buck used sony's qx1 and an extra macro lens to photograph beetles and

certainly a change ‘the sheer detail that can be captured using this lens style camera is incredible’ mr buck said ‘the sheer detail that can be captured using this lens style camera [the qx1] is incredible’ here, ice crystals are pictured up close in the undergrowth of hampstead heath, london they almost look like something from a chemistry experiment tiny hairs on the bottom of a common

as a mosaic view of the world around them mr buck said: ‘using the qx1 and macro lenses i was able to capture shots of everything from the individual crystals of ice on a frost covered leaf (pictured) to the tiny cells on a dragonfly's wings’ ‘although the cameras in smartphones are getting better all the time, there is a whole world of microscopic detail that you could never photograph with them until now due to the limited nature of their fixed lenses ‘using the qx1 and macro lenses i was able to capture shots of everything from the individual crystals of ice on a frost covered leaf to the

there was a time when the  british class system was quite simple often the subject of satire – most notably in the frost report sketch of the 1960s – it basically came down to upper, middle and lower half a century on, however, the bbc and academics claim that is outdated and we now fall into seven social groups scroll down for video and to take the test yourself top dogs: there is an 'elite' just 6 per cent of people who have savings of more than £140,000, many social contacts and education at top universities, according to the bbc's great british class survey at the bottom: the 'precariat' group is 'marked by the lack of any significant amount of economic, cultural or social capital', said professor mike savage, of the london school of economics and political science wealthy: the average age of this group is 46 and they tend to work in management or traditional professions and mainly come from middle class backgrounds for instance, if you’re a van driver on less than £160 a week who doesn’t like jazz, you must be a member of the precariat on the other hand, if your income is over £89,000 a year, you have a comfortable  private pension, and you go to dinner  parties with lawyers and dentists, you belong to the elite the new social scale, backed by the bbc and called the great british class survey experiment, tries to take into account the music we listen to, the people we mix with, and the likelihood that we use social networks, to determine where we stand more than 160,000 people took part in the poll via the bbc website new class: only six per cent of people are classed as technical middle class people in this group tend to mix with people similar to themselves and enjoy highbrow culture and tend to live in the suburbs bang in the middle: the new affluent workers are youthful and are sit in the middle in terms of wealth many of the group tend to live in former manufacturing areas in the midlands and north west on the decline: a much smaller percentage than may have been expected are in the traditional working class group, which has the oldest average age at 66 financially insecure: the 19 per cent of britain that are classed as an emergent service worker tend to be young and have low scores for saving and house value but spend time enjoying emerging culture and socialising freshly identified classes include a technical middle class, which contains aircraft pilots, radiographers and social researchers, and new affluent workers, children of the old working class who went to new universities, many of them people working in sales call centre workers and chefs fall into an ‘emergent service sector’ of educated young people in insecure jobs who are well versed in popular music, sport and social networks the precariat – a word coined from precarious and the marxist jargon proletariat – make up nearly one in six of the population the survey said they have tiny incomes, no savings, rent their homes, have the least cultural interests of any social class, and are ‘the most deprived’ a high concentration of the precariat, the survey claims, can be found in stoke on trent one of the academics who drew up the new scale,  manchester university sociology professor fiona devine, said it  presented a ‘more sophisticated, nuanced picture of what class is like now’ she added: ‘it is what is in the middle which is really interesting and exciting, there is a much more fuzzy area between the traditional working class and traditional middle class’ but author and social commentator jill kirby said: ‘this survey has kept sociologists busy, but it is a doubtful use of bbc resources it does show how difficult it is to categorise people 'but it also shows there is plenty of social mobility – even the precariat can escape more easily than the working class of 50 years ago’ the bbc scale, produced with the help of the state run economic and social research council and academics from six universities, follows the 1980s teachings of french philosopher pierre bourdieu, who said class depended on culture, taste and who you mix with as well as the kind of job you have the report said: ‘we have been able to discern a distinctive elite, whose sheer economic advantage sets it apart from other classes 'the fact this elite group is also shown to have the most privileged backgrounds is an important demonstration of the accentuation of social advantage at the top of british society’ it said fewer than four out of ten people are counted as part of traditional working or middle classes the frost report sketch from 1966 made fun of the british class system but was acclaimed for its simplicity it featured ronnie barker saying to a tall john cleese: ‘i look up to him because he is upper class’ he then added to small ronnie corbett: ‘but i look down on him, because he is lower class i am middle class’ now click here or scroll down to take the test experts: professor mike savage (left), of the london school

everton manager roberto martinez relishes the prospect of facing arsenal because they are not a 'parasite' on the premier league with their approach to matches like some teams they face martinez shares a similar football philosophy to arsenal counterpart arsene wenger, who he will attempt to outwit at the emirates stadium on sunday afternoon and the spaniard also believes players prefer to work under the likes of himself and wenger because the style of play of their teams everton manager roberto martinez admits his side face a difficult task against arsenal on sunday everton striker romelu lukaku celebrates after scoring a penalty against young boys on thursday 'too many times you see a team that go for being a parasite; they give you the ball, defend, be destructive,' martinez said 'that system doesn't develop players it's the opposite – every two years they burn players they need new players and they need new players to do things players don't enjoy doing 'i believe the way the game should be played is in a specific manner; taking risks, and getting on the ball and relying on the talent of the players to score goals' manchester united manager louis van gaal has been criticised for his team's style of play this season, while jose mourinho's chelsea teams have been dubbed anti football in the past wenger lambasted tony pulis, when he was stoke manager, for 'rugby' tactics while the frenchman also had rows with sam allardyce and martin o'neill among others arsenal will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing night in the champions league this week kevin mirallas scored everton's third goal during everton's 3 1 victory over young boys in the last 32 however, martinez was decidedly more cautious when asked which managers or teams he was referring to with his parasite comments he added: 'unfortunately you get too many managers achieving success with another type of football 'who? i am sure you can figure it out! you can analyse teams over history, and there are parasite teams 'our team is as good as it could be in terms of human quality and the quality that we've got football wise' meanwhile, martinez has told belgium winger kevin mirallas, who has been linked with a move away from goodison park, that he must remain patient over a new contract mirallas is understood to want to open negotiations over improved terms but must bide his time 'are we in talks? not at the moment,' martinez explained 'we're going to leave every individual situation until further down the line 'i do feel that talking about individual situations can be distracting at this point 'we'll look at the players who are out of contract first and foremost because they're more urgent but players like kevin mirallas who has two and a half years left on his contract is not something we need to consider yet'

with a perfect copy of the new moon film poster emblazoned across her back, portraits of edward cullen on both ribs and the cullen crest splashed across her breastbone, describing cathy ward, 52, as a twilight fan is a bit of an understatement but there's more to the twihard's tattoos than a penchant for robert pattison, although the self confessed member of team edward admits that it does play a part for cathy, her etchings are also an important reminder of how far she's come since christmas 2009, when she weighed six stone more and was an unhappy size 24 and a reward twihard: 52 year old cathy ward has spent just under £8,500 on inkings that depict characters from twilight commitment: cathy ward's first tattoo was this full back poster of the new moon film yet trading comfort eating for twilight tattoos hasn't come cheap, as she happily admits so far, she has spent just under £8,500 on getting inked but expects to have spent £25,000 by the time her 'body suit' is complete 'i've had about 91 hours of tattooing now and it's costing a small fortune,' explains cathy, who works as a baker for the morrisons supermarket chain in her hometown of reading 'i've forked out just under £8,500 and by the time i'm finished, when [my] body's completely covered, we're looking at between £17,000 and £25,000' cathy's passion for ink began after a friend handed her a copy of the first twilight book at the end of 2009 hooked, she quickly devoured the first novel and sped through the remaining three before buying the dvds and soundtracks of the accompanying films her first tattoo, an elaborate recreation of the film poster for new moon, followed with more etchings added two weeks later 'we've got the book covers, we've got the ribbon, we've got the family crest, we've got the hairpiece, we've got the chessboard from breaking dawn, we've got the wolf tribal symbol,' she reveals 'i've had five wolves done and one of the last things jacob says to [bella] when he realises he's lost her he said: 'it would be as easy as breathing with me'' perfect portrait: kristen stewart, taylor lautner and, of course, robert pattinson have pride of place recovery: mrs ward's obsession with twilight tattoos acts as a reminder to her of pulling through the depression and subsequent obesity after she lost her mother but despite her love for the wolf pack the subject of an inking currently underway on her left leg it's edward, played in the films by robert pattinson, who interests her the most 'obviously, i'm team edward so most of my tattoos are of edward,' she explains 'i'm definitely a robert pattinson fan 'it's because he's not classically good looking he's different,' she adds 'i'm not what i'd call good looking, i'm average and he's similar plenty of other guys in the film are better looking but he's striking in different way' since discovering twilight, cathy has lost an incredible six stone and says that having the tattoos is a permanent reminder of just how far she's come since 1999 when the shock of losing her mother resulted in an unhealthy obsession with food 'that's when i started going really hell for leather doing what i wanted and abusing my body,' remembers cathy 'i was sitting down, overeating, just vegetating all the time i was ashamed of myself and what i looked like 'when my friend gave me the first book and i got well and truly hooked on it, it kind of focused me of course, then i got the music, the soundtracks to all of the movies, so i got them out, i'd exercise to them and i'd be watching a dvd and i'd just be exercising in front of them trading comfort eating for twilight tattoos hasn't come cheap shes spent just under £8,500 on getting inked but expects to spend £25,000 in total getting covered 'and then i'd get another tattoo and it'd just give me something to focus on i've lost six stone and that's what did it 'it's a permanent reminder and a reward to me for getting my life back on track to what it should be' but not everyone is as supportive of cathy's decision to get inked although her husband colin, to whom she's been married for 21 years, tolerates her tattoos, not everyone in her family agrees 'my father, at first he was very resistant,' she says 'he wouldn't be seen out with me my brother, i haven't spoken to in five years he's quite embarrassed by me 'my sisters they're just quite glad to see me come out of my shell and be who i should be i used to be very quiet, sort of hide in the background, be a bit of a wallflower' she certainly isn't anymore and revels in the stir she caused when she was invited onto the red carpet at the breaking dawn part one premiere in 2011 'i got sent tickets to the premiere, which was brilliant although security wouldn't let me near the main characters,' remembers cathy with a chuckle 'but the fans reaction was brilliant it was an hour and a half of mayhem because they all wanted pictures with me' her tattoos also got her the attention of taylor lautner, the 21 year old american who plays jacob, who, to her delight, even mentioned her in an interview tolerant: cathy's husband colin says he is happy for her to have tattoos provided they don't go on her face quote: her right arm shows a line uttered by jacob that reads: 'it would be as easy as breathing with me' so far mrs ward's spent 91 hours under the needle, costing her £8,500, but she still plans lots more and aims to cover her entire body 'taylor lautner and rob [pattinson] were on this morning when breaking dawn came out and he [lautner] commented on my tattoos,' adds cathy and lautner isn't alone in his appreciation of cathy's tattoo tribute at a convention last year, she met myanna buring who plays tanya, a member of the denali coven who come to the cullen's aid during a confrontation with the volturi 'i've not met any of the main characters,' explains cathy, 'but i have met tanya (buring), seth (booboo stewart) and the guy who plays jared (bronson pelletier) 'it was at a convention last year and they all said it was brilliant artwork but to meet one of the main [characters] would have been great' for now, cathy is focusing on finishing a tattoo of the wolf pack on her left leg and, once it's done, plans to have another of the volturi inked on her right does she have any plans to stop? unsurprisingly, the answer is no 'the way i look at it, i've still got two to three years work to go and you need to do maintenance,' she explains 'there's always going to be things that need touching up or recolouring 'i stand out, i don't care that i stand out,' she adds 'this is me, this is what i like, this is what does it for me it keeps me feeling young 'it's keeping me permanently broke but no matter what the cost, i am not stopping!' mrs ward says she piled on the pounds after the death of her mother, and spent most days comfort eating on the sofa husband colin says he tolerates the tattoos but other family members have not been so understanding
twilight cathy ward 8,500 a robert pattinson edward 25,000 52
cathy ward, 52, from reading has spent £8,500 on tattoos to date she expects to have spent £25,000 by the time her inkings are complete says discovering twilight helped her focus on losing weight now more confident, says tattoos are a permanent reminder and reward favourite character is edward and she is a robert pattinson fan too

bt sport have made an approach to bbc’s match of the day presenter gary lineker to host their champions league football starting next season the inquiry about using lineker in midweek to anchor bt’s marquee sports property will come as a shock to bt’s main football presenter, jake humphrey, who was poached from the bbc and is the face of their premier league coverage approach: bt sport wanted bbc presenter gary lineker to host midweek champions league coverage however, lineker turned down the bt offer because terms and conditions couldn’t be agreed and working for the subscription channel would have meant renegotiating his bbc contract that gives the corporation exclusivity on lineker’s services to an uk audience but lineker, now established as one of the top tv sports presenters and ranked in the pantheon alongside david coleman and des lynam in the 50th anniversary motd documentary to be screened next friday, also has a premier league football deal with american network nbc and has done walkers crisps commercials for approaching 20 years meanwhile, bt are taking a big risk having new pundit paul scholes pitchside at old trafford before the game against swansea when fans chanting his name might make it difficult for his short, sharp comments to be heard risk: former manchester united midfielder paul scholes will be pitchside at old trafford on saturday it didn't go unnoticed between liverpool and manchester united players as they queued at an airport departure gate in the united states during pre season tours that the united 767 jet was a whole lot bigger than the 747 carrying liverpool no wonder, when united took 130 personnel to the usa — substantially more even than the top heavy 88 strong england party at the world cup it showed how much the stature of bbc tv football commentators has diminished that the celebrity guests for the first showing of the match of the day 50th anniversary documentary included barry davies and john motson, who have a combined age of 145 but the pair are still far more synonymous with motd than the current crop of anonymous beeb football commentators, although guy mowbray did feature in the programme jacqui oatley, the first female commentator on match of the day, was given the platform to moan about press comment on her unfortunate debut but since oatley rightly decided to concentrate on presenting and reporting on radio, no female has emerged as a genuine football commentator in the way the excellent alison mitchell has in cricket it wouldn't fit in with many sports scientists’ idea of the best post match recovery meal, but it is understood that middlesbrough contacted leeds to request six stone baked pizzas — three chicken, three vegetarian — to be delivered to the away dressing room at elland road straight after saturday’s championship game gould awaits ecb call after lancashire’s drainage debacle at old trafford, which won’t help their slim chances of being awarded an ashes test in 2019, surrey chief executive richard gould is especially keen that nothing should go wrong at the oval during the fifth test the ground is already assured of another ashes test in its staging agreement, but gould is the current favourite from inside cricket to succeed david collier as ecb chief executive, although the headhunters are looking outside the game as well with rather less ballyhoo than their self celebration — sky’s pundits were ordered to send out anniversary tweets — at covering 200 england test matches, sky have closed down their online sports news radio service that was once seen as a long term competitor to radio 5 live and talksport a sky spokesman said: ‘customers’ habits evolve over time and a standalone sports radio service is sadly no longer viable we are in the process of consulting with affected staff’ and sky’s multi million pound experiment with 3d football is heading straight for the knacker’s yard as well

under pressure: ed miliband's labour has received more than £18million in ¿soft loans¿ from the co op bank labour has received more than £18million in ‘soft loans’ from the co op bank – which is to be the subject of an independent inquiry ordered by chancellor george osborne documents lodged with the electoral commission reveal the co op has been propping up the labour party for years with a string of generous loans and overdraft facilities at rock bottom rates the party is facing acute embarrassment over its links with the troubled lender, which david cameron told the commons had been ‘driven into the wall’ by its disgraced former boss reverend paul flowers the co op is seeking a £15billion recapitalisation after being plunged into crisis thanks largely to bad loans associated with its takeover of britannia building society in 2009 deputy prime minister nick clegg today called flowers' rise to the top of the co op bank 'extremely murky' 'i'm sure the labour party will want to both account for itself but also make sure that, in addition to all the question marks that still exist about the way in which they act almost as puppets on the end of a string for the trade union bosses, that they are not also in hock to some slightly off characters at this bank,' he toldlbc 973 the prime minister told the commons the debacle needed to be investigated thoroughly the government’s first priority was to safeguard the co op bank and ensure customers and bondholders were protected, he said, but he raised a series of questions about flowers’s suitability for a top banking job and his links with labour government sources said an inquiry was likely to be ordered within days by the prudential regulation authority, under powers mr osborne obtained in the 2012 financial services act a separate investigation could be launched by the financial conduct authority into whether the bank broke city rules links: labour is facing acute embarrassment over its links with the troubled lender, which david cameron, left, told the commons had been ‘driven into the wall’ by its disgraced former boss reverend paul flowers, right the £18million in co op loans to labour include £4million over seven years in 1999 at an interest rate of 68 per cent, £2million in 2007 for five months at 2 per cent above base rate, a £2million ‘emergency overdraft’ in 2009 at 5 per cent above base rate, and £12million over six months in 2006 at  2 per cent above base rate labour’s latest co op loan, worth £12million, was doled out in march this year, just weeks after ed miliband invited flowers to his commons office for private talks the co op’s sister organisation, the unity trust bank, lent labour an identical sum on the same day both loans were arranged at an interest rate of just 4 per cent – far lower than the co op offers to its own loyal customers – and were made despite labour’s poor credit history tory mp brooks newmark said the scandal surrounding flowers, a former labour councillor, had ‘peeled back an unhealthy and poisonous relationship between labour and the co op bank’ mr brooks, a member of the commons treasury committee, said the revelations raised disturbing questions about whether labour was turning a blind eye to disastrous governance at the bank he added: ‘given its dire financial circumstances the labour party would normally struggle to get loans from anyone other than wonga 'but because of its cosy relationship, which means labour has been able to place councillors and members in key positions at the co op bank, it has continued to have access to these extraordinary soft loans ‘ordinary customers of the co op bank and shoppers at co op stores will be astonished that their money is being used to make huge donations and loans at very soft rates to ed balls and labour’ mr miliband has attempted to distance himself from flowers in recent days, after the methodist preacher was filmed buying hard drugs, including crack cocaine and crystal meth but details have emerged of a cosy relationship between the two men mr miliband and shadow chancellor mr balls hosted a downing street reception for flowers and other co op grandees in 2010 probe: the co op bank is set to be subject of an independent inquiry ordered by chancellor george osborne the labour leader then went on to appoint him to his elite business and industry advisory board mr miliband also held a secretive meeting in the commons with flowers on march 6 this year three weeks later the co op bank approved the £12million loan to labour in the commons, mr cameron suggested labour knew about flowers’s ‘past’, before the drugs and porn claims emerged he said: ‘why was reverend flowers judged suitable to be chairman of a bank? why weren’t alarm bells rung earlier, particularly by those who knew?’ the prime minister said mr osborne was ‘discussing with the regulator what is the appropriate form of inquiry’ troubled: the co op is seeking a £15billion recapitalisation after being plunged into crisis thanks largely to bad loans associated with its takeover of britannia building society in 2009 he told mr miliband: ‘what we can now see is this bank – driven into the wall by this chairman – has been giving soft loans to the labour party, facilities to the labour party, donations to the labour party, trooped in and out of downing street under labour, still advising you, and yet now we know all along they [labour} knew about his past ‘why did they do nothing to bring to the attention of the authorities this man who has broken a bank?’ mr miliband told mr cameron: ‘you’ve taken millions from tax exiles and tax avoiders, your party has never paid back the money from asil nadir – and they’re just the people i can talk about in this house’ treasury select committee chairman andrew tyrie said: ‘the treasury committee strongly recommends that any review into the co op bank be conducted by an independent person 'the authorities cannot be seen to be marking their own work’

the united states cannot solve iraq's problems with military force, president barack obama reiterated in a series of interviews taped on friday that aired across several networks on monday morning only iraqis can resolve the violent conflict tearing apart in their country, obama said, and in order to do accomplish this, they must find a way to ignore their sectarian differences for the common good of their homeland 'if they can't, there's not gonna be a military solution to this problem, obama told cnn's kate boulduan 'there's no amount of american fire power that's gonna be able to hold the country together, and i've made that clear to [iraqi prime minister nouri al maliki] and all the other leadership inside of iraq' the us can't go in and occupy every country in the middle east facing turmoil, president obama said in a series of interviews that aired on monday morning ¿unless we are prepared to stay indefinitely in all these various countries, something that we can¿t afford, and it would involve over time accusations that we were occupying these countries,¿ obama told morning joe co host mika brzezinski, ¿at some stage, they¿re gonna have to take responsibility for working together' the us neither has the resources nor the responsibility to be the world police in the middle east, president barack obama emphasized in the interviews ‘unless we are prepared to stay indefinitely in all these various countries, something that we can’t afford, and it would involve over time accusations that we were occupying these countries,’ obama told morning joe co host mika brzezinski,‘at some stage, they’re gonna have to take responsibility for working together’ america's military cannot run around the world playing 'whack a mole' with extremist groups, the president has repeatedly said throughout the last several days ‘keep in mind that our goal in afghanistan was to decapitate al qaeda, which had carried out 9/11 that has been accomplished now afghanistan is a sovereign country that is gonna have to deal with its own security,’ last month the president announced that he would significantly draw down troops in afghanistan by the end of the year the president has made clear that he would not put boots back on the ground in iraq on thursday obama announced that the us would deploy up to 300 military advisors to help train, advise and support the iraqi army but made clear that the forces would not engage in combat with the islamic radicals violently attempting to conquer the country obama also dispatched secretary of state john kerry to the region to meet with iraqi prime minister nouri al maliki and other foreign leaders the two met for roughly two hours this morning in baghdad, and kerry said afterward the meeting was productive according to the associated press, iraqi officials familiar with the meeting said maliki again asked the us to launch air strikes against isil, and, once again, he was rebuffed kerry reportedly cited civilian casualties as an area of concern president obama has been credited with making similar remarks last week to members of congress asking about air strikes oceans apart: secretary of state john kerry and iraqi prime minister nouri al maliki met face to face in baghdad on monday the two government officials didn't appear to be on very friendly terms at a photo op, but kerry said the 100 minute meeting went well kerry, center left, flew to baghdad this morning to meet with maliki, right, and iraq's other leaders to personally urge the shiite led government to give more power to political opponents before a sunni insurgency seizes more control across the country and sweeps away hopes for lasting peace the discussion between the two government officials was not expected to be friendly, given that washington lawmakers have floated suggestions that the iraqi premier should resign as a necessary first step toward quelling the vicious uprising nor will it likely bring any immediate, tangible results, as maliki has shown no sign of leaving, and iraqi officials have long listened to — but ultimately ignored — us advice to avoid appearing controlled by the decade old specter of an american occupation in baghdad still, having suffered together through more than eight years of war — which killed nearly 4,500 american troops and more than 100,000 iraqis — the two wary allies are unwilling to turn away from the very real prospect of the mideast nation falling into a fresh bout of sectarian strife 'the support will be intense, sustained, and if iraq's leaders take the steps needed to bring the country together it will be effective,' kerry said after the meeting kerry also met with influential shiite cleric ammar al hakim, who heads a leading rival shiite political party;

edward snowden has thrown a ‘huge rock’ at the intelligence agencies – and his leaks mean a terrorist atrocity was now certain to ‘get through’, according to the former head of mi6 sir john sawers’ warning came as al qaeda posted a youtube video showing fanatics how to avoid detection, apparently based on the former cia officer’s leaks yesterday, former mi6 boss sir john said the revelations had made the technology companies more reluctant to co operate with the police and spy agencies ex mi6 boss sir john sawers (pictured) warned edward snowden has thrown 'huge rock' at intelligence agencies, meaning a terrorist atrocity is now certain to 'get through' security officials fear this has created ‘no go areas’ on the internet where terrorists can plot atrocities undetected sir john warned that, unless a ‘new compact’ could be agreed between web firms and the intelligence agencies, attacks like those in paris earlier this month would become ‘a more regular feature of our lives’ he said: ‘snowden threw a massive rock in the pool the ripples from that have still not died down ‘it was certainly a great concern for me that the, if you like, informal co operation that worked well between most technology companies and communication companies and security services was broken by the snowden revelations and has not been repaired’ sir john added: ‘the security community has done a fantastic job keeping threats at bay, but if i was to sit here and ask “will the goalkeepers of the police and security services foil every single attempt to score a goal?”, the answer is no at some point a threat will get through’ british security officials have long warned the snowden revelations could be used to produce a ‘handbook for terrorists’ the chilling seven and a half minute video by al qaeda – which includes news footage of snowden’s massive security breach – confirms these worst fears the recording provides detailed graphics on how extremists can avoid being trapped by ‘fbi secret spying technology’ when communicating extracts from the video by al qaeda – and the corresponding leaks by treacherous former cia officer edward snowden (pictured right): snowden leak: nsa and gchq are harvesting millions of emails, instant messaging contact lists and details of internet browsing histories al qaeda advice: ‘all your calls, messages and internet history are stored in this same place… spies have access to these files and can know your daily routine, friends and what you are planning to do tomorrow night at that tall building…’ snowden leak: western agencies have the capacity to track and map the location of cell phones al qaeda advice: ‘all mobile phone providers use the same software, your device continuously is in contact with the nearest tower… as you are moving around your different coordinates are tracked and stored’ snowden leak: security officials were paying private tech companies for ‘clandestine access’ to their communications networks al qaeda guidance: the video warns al qaeda agents that spies are working with internet companies and lists networks which have been co operating so they can be avoided it also claims to identify technology companies which are co operating with the uk and other countries so they can be avoided there is a list of software packages that can be used to try to thwart gchq and the intelligence agencies the video is spoken in arabic but with english subtitles it says: ‘allah created us with a unique voice, this can be used to track you anywhere no matter [sic] you buy a new phone, sim card or satellite 'we will now show you some different ways how the enemy can track you and have a view at some modern war technologies’ it added: ‘every mujahed that does not take the right precautions can be a tool in the hand of the enemy with his phone, tablet or laptop the enemy can listen/record all conversations and meetings’ deputy prime minister nick clegg (left) is blocking proposals to give britain's spooks the power to monitor what people browse on the internet and who they are emailing experts said snowden – feted as a hero by some campaigners – had inspired the tape sir john’s speech yesterday, his first since stepping down last november, was the second time in a week an ex head of the intelligence agencies has attacked snowden last tuesday, ex mi5 boss jonathan evans said the revelations have left britain less able to protect itself at a time when the terrorist threat from islamist fanatics is surging in the wake of the paris attacks, david cameron vowed that a new tory government would introduce 'comprehensive' legislation to ensure there is no 'safe space' for terrorists to communicate over the internet the prime minister said security and intelligence agencies need 'robust powers' to protect the public from violent extremists mr cameron had already indicated he would seek to revive measures in the abandoned draft communications data bill dubbed the 'snoopers' charter' by critics enabling the agencies to track emails and other online communications deputy prime minister nick clegg is blocking the bill insisting it gives the security services too much power to snoop on the public snowden, who was a computer specialist at an intelligence centre in hawaii, tricked colleagues into handing over passwords so he could copy up to 17million files in one of the biggest leaks in us history the defence contractor claims he had to act because the us government’s policies were a ‘threat to democracy’ he fled to hong kong, then russia, where he was granted asylum and now lives in a secret location speaking at the london launch of the edelman trust barometer, an international survey of public trust in institutions, sir john said: 'we have seen a trend over the last few years of the threat rising, the formal threat level has gone up which says that a terrorist attack is highly likely 'that is not saying an attempted terrorist attack is highly likely it is saying a terrorist attack getting through is highly likely and we have to take those words at face value' he also backed the prime minister’s assertion last week that there cannot be ‘no go areas’ online or in other types of communications he added: 'the prime minister must have been right when he was saying last week that you cannot afford to have complete no go areas 'we cannot have no go areas in our communities where the police cannot go, because that just allows space room for the evil doers to ply their trades it is the same in the virtual world 'if you allow areas which are completely impenetrable, then, okay, you might feel comfortable that your communications are private and no one else can see them, but so are those who are trying to do you down and undermine your society' but the warning will be seen as a direct rebuke to the deputy prime minister nick clegg who is blocking proposals to give britain's spooks the power to monitor what people browse on the internet and who they are emailing

ancient egypt could have been undone by the type of rapid climate change that many of today’s policymakers fear this is according to tree ring samples found in an ancient egyptian coffin which reveal the  civilisation came to its knees following changes to its food resources and infrastructure the find adds to the debate about what led to the collapse of the civilisation more than 3,000 years ago, with theories ranging from wars to famine and disease ancient egypt could have been undone by the type of rapid climate change that many of today’s policymakers fear this is according to tree ring samples found in an ancient egyptian coffin (pictured) which reveal this ancient world came to its knees following changes to its food resources the latest study looked at samples taken from the ipi ha ishutef egyptian coffin alongside wood from funeral boats buried near the pyramid of sesostris iii ‘the tree rings show the kind of rapid climate change that we and policymakers fear,’ said professor stuart manning from cornell university ‘this record shows that climate change doesn’t have to be as catastrophic as an ice age to wreak havoc' researchers at cornell university in new york used a technique called ‘dendro radiocarbon wiggle matching,’ to precisely date the items – plus or minus around 10 years the coffin of ipi ha ishutef showing details of the decorations on the walls this is the coffin from which the tree ring samples were taken the samples showed a small, unusual anomaly following the year 2200 bc paleoclimate research has suggested a major short term arid event about this time from the building of vast pyramids to religious life and burial practices, life in ancient egypt was very different to our own but modern vegetarians may have more in common than they thought with the ancient egyptians, because it is thought that they also ate a diet composed largely of vegetables, fruit, wheat and barley archaeologists have thought for a while that most settled ancient populations survived on a vegetarian diet and now carbon isotope analysis has given experts a better idea than ever before of what the ancient egyptians ate a team of researchers from the university of lyon studied carbon atoms in 45 mummies of people that lived in egypt between 3,500bc and 600ad they found that they ate a lot of barley and wheat over the long period the finding also echoes many paintings in egyptian tombs that show people working the land and harvesting wheat to make loaves of bread, which are often offered to god of the afterlife, osiris the technique calibrates radiocarbon isotopes found in the sample tree rings with patterns known from other places in the world that have already identified chronologies the samples showed a small, unusual anomaly following the year 2200 bc paleoclimate research has suggested a possible short term drought event about this time ‘this radiocarbon anomaly would be explained by a change in growing season, that is, climate, dating to exactly this arid period of time,’ said professor manning from ‘we’re showing that radiocarbon and these archaeological objects can confirm and in some ways better date a key climate episode’ that climate episode, said professor manning, had major political implications there was just enough change in the climate to upset food resources and other infrastructure, which is likely what led to the collapse of the akkadian empire and affected the old kingdom of egypt and a number of other civilisations ‘we’re in exactly the same situation as the akkadians: if something suddenly undid the standard food production model in large areas of the us it would be a disaster,’ he said tree rings from the coffin were analysed alongside wooden boats buried near the pyramid of sesostris iii climate change, said professor manning, had major political implications there was just enough change in the climate to upset food resources and other infrastructure, which is likely what led to the collapse of the akkadian empire and affected the old kingdom of egypt and a number of other civilisations

you don’t go — i am not prepared to do that ‘i have spoken to arsene and they have been holding him back because they don’t want to push him too early’ hodgson has a number of other injury concerns

we go with everyone basically fit,’ he said ‘kyle is a bit more of a difficult one because it is a long time since he has been fit we are still monitoring the situation and we haven’t been told for certain that he will be out for the next six weeks but we’re concerned it has been a long time ‘he has not been able to do any training and i know he has had another injection we are waiting to find out about that’ townsend left stoke last saturday wearing a protective boot after he had come on for 12 minutes of tottenham’s 1 0 win he will have surgery on his ankle today after the results of an

be lots of other opportunities’ on the comeback trail: phil jagielka (right) returns for everton this weekend jagielka’s world cup chances could improve this weekend as he prepares to return for

fox news has come under international fire with the revelation that the network has made a very unlikely, yet highly powerful, new foe the city of paris mayor anne hidalgo sat down for her first international interview since the charlie hebdo terrorist attack on tuesday, telling christiane amanpour that it was her intent to go after the polarizing news organization for 'attacking the honor and the image' of the city in statements made in the wake of this tragedy more specifically, the decision by the network to introduce the anti muslim myth that paris, and most of europe, had become filled with areas they referred to as 'no go zones,' which were off limits to everyone but muslims including police and government officials and governed by sharia law scroll down for video suing: paris mayor anne hidalgo (above) announced in an interview on tuesday that the city would be suing fox news host sean hannity was the first to make mention of this on his january 7 program, saying; 'it seems if you watch in recent years, it’s not just france but all of europe, there’s been a major influx, immigration, people from muslim countries they’ve even and they’ve not assimilated, they’ve separated' he then added; 'they have no go zones if you’re non muslim, you’re not allowed not police, not even fire department if there’s a fire sharia courts have been allowed to be established prayer rugs in just about every hotel' just a few days later, jeanine pirro welcomed analyst steve emerson on her show, who said of these zones, believed by many to be entirely inaccurate from the start; 'they’re sort of amorphous, they’re not contiguous necessarily, but they’re sort of safe havens' emerson then took the idea a step further by stating; 'and they’re places where the governments, like france, britain, sweden, germany — they don’t exercise any sovereignty so you basically have zones where sharia courts are set up, where muslim density is very intense, where police don’t go in' finally, emerson wrapped the segment up by making the claim that birmingham, england was an example of one of these zones, and that 'non muslims just simply don’t go in' fox news ultimately issued corrections for these statements, as well as an apology muslim myth: this in response to the network's claim that europe was filled with 'no go zones' where non muslims were not allowed, which was first introduced by sean hannity (above) too far: a guest of jeanine pirro's (above) show, steve emerson, even claimed that birmingham, england was an example of a 'no go zone' that, however, is not enough for mayor hidalgo 'when we're insulted, and when we've had an image, then i think we'll have to sue, i think we'll have to go to court, in order to have these words removed,' she told cnn's amanpour 'the image of paris has been prejudiced, and the honor of paris has been prejudiced' michael clemente, the executive vice president of news at the network said in a statement; 'we empathize with the citizens of france as they go through a healing process and return to everyday life however, we find the mayor’s comments regarding a lawsuit misplaced'

ukip's general election campaign descended into chaos this morning after internal party rows over policy spilled out into the open the party's health spokesman louise bours publicly slapped down party leader nigel farage after he suggested the nhs may need to be privatised to cope with the growing pressure on the health budget caused by a rapidly ageing population it came after the ukip mep in charge of writing the party's 2015 manifesto was replaced – after not coming up with any policies scroll down for video tim aker has been replaced as the ukip policy chief after failing to complete the party's manifesto in time for may's crunch general election nigel farage has admitted he would be forced to resign if britain voted to stay in the european union in a referendum the ukip leader said it would be 'curtains' for him and his colleagues if the country rejected the chance to cut ties with brussels david cameron has promised a referendum on britain's membership if the conservatives form the next government mr farage said: 'the loss of a referendum means curtains for nigel and it means curtains for the current crowd here in head office' it comes after mr farage last year vowed to resign as party leader if the party fails to achieve a general election breakthrough he said: 'if we'd failed in the european elections i would have stood down, if we fail next year the party will pick someone better than me, but do you know what? that ain't going to happen' tim aker was replaced as the ukip policy chief after failing to complete the party's manifesto in time for may's crunch general election, senior party figures have confirmed the revelation emerged after mr farage sparked controversy by claiming that privatising large parts of the nhs was 'a debate that we're all going to have to return to' if the health service was going to stay affordable within hours of the remarks ukip's health spokesman, louise bours, insisted mr farage was out of touch with the public when it came to the nhs she said: 'nigel is entitled to his opinion and others are entitled to theirs, we don’t whip people into all thinking the same thing, like the establishment parties 'as he has said before, he raised the idea for discussion a while ago, the party discussed at and rejected it 'i am certain that if the party discuss it again, we will reject it again the vast majority of ukip members, the british public and i will always favour a state funded nhs' the rows come just over three months before the general election in which ukip is hoping to increase the number of mps into double figures but mr farage himself is facing a battle to be elected in thanet south, where he is currently trailing the conservative candidate craig mackinlay by up to five points in the polls his election bid was also dealt a blow after stand up comic al murray announced he would stand against mr farage as his tv character 'the pub landlord' the revelation that mr aker – one of the party's bright young hopes – has failed to complete the party's manifesto in time in a fresh embarrassment for the party which has previously acknowledged that it needs to professionalise its operation nigel farage is facing a battle to be elected in thanet south, where he is currently trailing the conservative candidate craig mackinlay by up to five points in the polls according to the times, ukip had set the beginning of january as the deadline to agree its election policies the manifesto would then be sent off to be checked and costed by an independent think tank senior party figures had become increasingly concerned that mr aker, 29, was struggling to complete the final draft of the manifesto on time a senior ukip insider said: 'there was growing disquiet that none of us had seen hide nor hair on the policy front it was especially annoying for candidates, who are banned from making any specific pledges before the manifesto is published 'they don't know what to tell voters on the doorstep' ukip's deputy chairman suzanne evans has now been drafted in to finish the manifesto she said: 'tim aker was responsible for running our policy programme, but as an mep, borough councillor and ppc [prospective parliamentary candidate] for the target seat of thurrock he stepped down from the role of policy chief comic al murray is standing against nigel farage is thanet south 'i relish the task of putting together the final details and presenting a sensible, radical and fully costed manifesto at our spring conference in margate' a ukip spokesman this morning insisted it was untrue that mr aker had been 'sacked' he said: 'it's bunkum when he was elected as a borough councillor he said he couldn't do it any more the handover was over the weekend of the ninth, tenth, eleventh of this month 'the manifesto was always supposed to be ready for the conference next month' ukip has insisted its manifesto will commit to protecting the nhs as a free to use taxpayer funded service but mr farage has insisted that the idea of replacing the nhs with an insurance based system is 'a debate that we're all going to have to return to' he said: 'there is no question that healthcare provision is going to have to be very much greater and we're going to have to find ways to do it' last year a video emerged from 2012 in which mr farage proposed an 'insurance based system of healthcare' he had been recorded saying: 'frankly, i would feel more comfortable that my money would return value if i was able to do that through the marketplace of an insurance company than just us trustingly giving £100bn a year to central government and expecting them to organise the healthcare service from cradle to grave for us' mr farage said: 'i triggered a debate within ukip that was outright rejected by my colleagues, so i have to accept that 'as time goes on, this is a debate that we're all going to have to return to' but in his latest interview mr farage insisted that the way the nhs is run will have to change to care for britain's ageing population he said: 'there is no question that healthcare provision is going to have to be very much greater in ten years than it is today, with an ageing population, and we're going to have to find ways to do it' andy burnham, labour's shadow health secretary, said mr farage's comments 'confirmed that a vote for ukip is a vote for the privatisation of the nhs and for a full american healthcare system' he said: 'farage admits he says one thing in public about the nhs but another behind closed doors he has shown ukip's statements on protecting the nhs to be hollow 'ukip claim to stand up for working people, but in reality they are more tory than the tories farage will never be able to distance himself from his real views he should be honest with the public'
