liz cheney has confirmed she is dropping out of the senate primary after her upstart bid to unseat wyoming senator mike enzi ignited a war within the republican party and caused a feud with her lesbian sister ms cheney, the eldest daughter of former vice president dick cheney, confirmed her decision to quit in a statement released this morning, blaming family 'health issues' she said: 'serious health issues have recently arisen in our family, and under the circumstances, i have decided to discontinue my campaign 'my children and their futures were the motivation for our campaign and their health and well being will always be my overriding priority' out: liz cheney, pictured in july, is dropping out of the senate primary after her upstart bid to unseat wyoming senator mike enzi ignited a war within the republican party and caused a feud with her lesbian sister she did not specify what health issues have come up or which of her five children three girls and two boys have been affected the last time they were seen publicly was when ms cheney posted a picture of the whole family on christmas eve 'phil and i want to thank the thousands of people in wyoming and all across the country who have supported my campaign,' she said in the statement 'as a mother and a patriot, i know that the work of defending freedom and protecting liberty must continue for each generation though this campaign stops today, my commitment to keep fighting with you and your families for the fundamental values that have made this nation and wyoming great will never stop' former wyoming senator alan simpson, a longtime friend of the cheney family, spoke to liz cheney this morning (mon) and said she sounded 'very calm, very deliberate' he said that the cheney family had meeting over christmas and liz's sister mary was there too despite their past differences during the get together was when mrs cheney made up her mindmr simpson said: 'she told me they were talking about family and friends and that's what this is all about 'she said: 'for me, it's a mum thing, it's about having five beautiful children they need me and i need them' mr simpson did not know the exact cause of the medical emergency he added that mrs cheney's candidacy had led to things being 'tense' between the two of them and he hoped they could become close once again mr simpson has known her since she was eight ms cheney's campaign has been fraught from the moment she entered the race with an announcement on youtube in the summer family first: cheney's last tweet, posted on christmas eve, featured a picture of she and her husband with their five children her decision to challenge mr enzi, a popular senator with a basically blemish free conservative voting record, angered the party one of the biggest criticisms of ms cheney came as she was painted as a carpetbagger after only moving to the state in 2012 from virginia problems first arose in august after local media revealed that ms cheney managed to obtain a fishing license despite having not lived in the state for at least a year, as the law stipulates in spite of the logistical location issues, her very public spat with her sister, mary, was the focus point dick cheney and his wife lynne said in a statement that they were 'pained' over the public dispute in november between their two daughters over their differing views on gay marriage a week earlier, ms cheney had reaffirmed her disapproval of gay marriage on fox news despite having a legally married lesbian sister daughter: ms cheney, the eldest daughter of former vice president dick cheney, left, had begun telling associates of her decision over the weekend, cnn reported late sunday 'this is an issue we have dealt with privately for many years, and we are pained to see it become public,' dick cheney and his wife said in a joint statement mary cheney and her wife heather poe, who she married in 2012, both took to social media on to blast the candidate 'liz this isn't just an issue on which we disagree you're just wrong and on the wrong side of history,' mary cheney wrote in a separate facebook post, heather poe called her sister in law's comments 'offensive' 'liz has been a guest in our home, has spent time and shared holidays with our children, and when mary and i got married in 2012 she didn't hesitate to tell us how happy she was for us,' poe wrote on the social media site 'to have her now say she doesn't support our right to marry is offensive to say the least' sisters at war: the wyoming candidate for senate liz cheney, left, announced her staunch opposition to gay marriage angering her gay married sister, mary cheney, right the statement from the former vice president and his wife also appeared to be an attempt to bolster ms cheney's run for the wyoming senate seat 'one thing should be clear liz has always believed in the traditional definition of marriage she has also always treated her sister and her sister's family with love and respect, exactly as she should have done,' said the couple liz cheney was asked on fox news if she was flip flopping on her gay marriage stance host chris wallace pointed out that while she had opposed a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage, she had also supporting the state department's plan to offer benefits to same sex employees and their partners 'it's not, and i stand by both of those positions,' ms cheney said 'i don't believe we ought to discriminate against people because of their sexual orientation 'if people are in a same sex relationship and they want their partner to be able to have health benefits or be designated as a beneficiary in your life insurance, there's no reason we shouldn't do that pained: in november, dick cheney, right, and his wife lynne, center, said in a statement that they were 'pained' over the public dispute between their two daughters over their differing views on gay marriage not backing down: liz cheney reasserted her stance against gay marriage in november despite having a legally married lesbian sister 'i also don't support amending the constitution on this issue i do believe it's an issue that's got to be left up to the states i do believe in the traditional definition of marriage,' ms cheney added in september her sister mary cheney, who legally married her longtime partner heather poe in washington in 2012 and has two daughters, wrote on facebook saying her sister's stance on gay marriage was 'dead wrong' 'for the record, i love my sister, but she is dead wrong on the issue of marriage freedom means freedom for everyone that means that all families regardless of how they look or how they are made all families are entitled to the same rights, privileges and protections as every other' liz cheney responded to that message soon after, saying that she too loves her sister but this is an issue 'on which we disagree' ms cheney's strong stance on the issue of gay marriage may have had something to do with her bid to win the senate race in ultra conservative wyoming partner: mary cheney wed her longtime partner heather poe, left, in 2012 they are pictured here at a memorial for victims of the 9/11 attacks 'i am not pro gay marriage,' ms cheney previously said in a statement released by her campaign 'i believe the issue of marriage must be decided by the states, and by the people in the states, not by judges and not even by legislators, but by the people themselves' this stance is also a slight departure for the candidate in regards to her high profile father since as far back as 2004, dick cheney has maintained a pro gay marriage stance 'lynne and i have a gay daughter, so it's an issue our family is very familiar with,' mr cheney told an audience that included his daughter while stumping in iowa in 2004 'with the respect to the question of relationships, my general view is freedom means freedom for everyone people ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to'

britain will need millions more immigrants to cope with an ageing population, the official economic watchdog warned today the office for budget responsibility said that opening the doors to an extra 140,000 every year for five decades would boost employment and bolster the public finances it also warned that pressure on the uk’s healthcare system caring for older people means an extra £19 billion of spending cuts or tax hikes will be needed open door policy: without high levels of migration to britain, public debt will balloon to become larger than the entire economy, the office for budget responsibility said urgent action is needed or the gains made by george osborne’s spending cuts will be wiped out by increased spending on the elderly, the obr said health, pension and social care costs are already equivalent to 14 per cent of britain’s economy but by 2062 63 it will rise to almost 20 per cent the obr argues that allowing 140,000 immigrants of working age into britain each year – totalling 7million over 50 years – would fill jobs and raise taxes for treasury coffers ‘our sensitivity analysis shows that overall migration has a positive impact on the sustainability of the public finances over our 50 year horizon,’ the obr said it said that if there is a steady flow of immigrants into britain, government borrowing would rise to 99 per cent of gdp but if there is a bar on immigration, borrowing would hit 174 per cent ‘these results are driven by the assumed age structure of net migration, which tends to be more concentrated in the working age group and hence reduces the dependency ratio throughout the projection period’ warning: gains made by george osborne's spending cuts could be wiped out by increased pressure on the public finances from britain's ageing population however, david cameron has pledged to reduce net migration to the ‘tens of thousands’ and last year the number of immigrants fell by 89,000 to 153,00 without action to address the burden of an ageing population, the uk will be left with a £65 billion hole in its finances, according to the obr in its annual fiscal sustainability report, it said: ‘it is clear that longer term spending pressures, if unaddressed, would put the public finances on an unsustainable path’ ‘public sector net debt would approach 100 per cent of gross domestic product (gdp) and still be rising,’ it added the obr said the move to a single tier state pension had slightly eased the pressure on public sector debt, but added that spending on healthcare was the biggest spending pressure over the next 50 years the obr said the cost of the state pension was predicted to rise from 58 per cent of gdp to 84 per cent of gdp as the population ages, even with the introduction of the new flat rate payment system and increase in retirement age to 67 taken into account healthcare spending is expected to increase from 7 per cent of gdp to 88 per cent of gdp, while long term social care costs are set to rise from 13 per cent of gdp to 24 per cent of gdp the obr also warned that declining north sea oil reserves will take its toll, with oil and gas revenues expected to plunge from 04 per cent of gdp now to almost negligible levels at 003 per cent of gdp by 2040 but action taken so far by the government, including an extra year of spending cuts to 2017 18 and the single tier state pension, is helping to offset some of the pressures, the report added the office for budget responsibility's robert chote warned of 'huge uncertainties around the scale of the challenge' of dealing with the costs of more elderly people robert chote, chairman of the obr, said on presenting the report: ‘since last year, the underlying deficit and debt path look less favourable ‘but this and the costs of long term care reform are likely to be offset by the government's announcement of additional spending cuts in 2017 18 and savings from the single tier pension ‘that said, there are huge uncertainties around the scale of the challenge and the uk is certainly not alone in confronting it’ he added that the extra £19 billion needed to get borrowing back on track could be spread over the next 50 years rather than action taken in one go in a written statement, chief secretary to the treasury danny alexander said the obr's report shows that without the steps taken over the past year, public borrowing would be around 50 per cent of gdp higher in 50 years' time he added that the report identifies the extra spending cuts as ‘one of the key factors in containing the growth of spending over the long term, demonstrating the importance of the government's programme of fiscal consolidation for the long term health of the public finances’

the most controversial movie of 2014 could soon be in your movie queue netflix announced yesterday it will make the interview available on demand for its us and canada customers at no additional charge starting on january 24 the comedy about a plot to assassinate north korean leader kim jong un was previously made available to stream on google play, xbox, youtube and appletv for a fee after its wide theatrical release was canceled in the wake of the sony hacking scandal netflix will make satirical comedy the interview available on demand for us and canada customers at no additional charge starting on january 24 the film, starring seth rogen and james franco as two journalists involved in a cia plot to kill north korean leader kim jong un, was at the center of the sony hacking scandal last month the interview stars seth rogen and james franco as two journalists involved in a cia plot to kill the north korean leader over the summer, the rogue state warned that the film's release would be an 'act of war that we will never tolerate' and said the us will face 'merciless' retaliation sony pulled the planned christmas day wide release of the film after hackers threatened 9/11 like terror attacks on cinemas showing the comedy but it partially reversed the decision after the intervention of president obama, allowing a limited release and making it available via video on demand neflix's chief content officer ted sarandos previously told television reporters the company was eager to deliver the film to customers during the semi annual television critics association press tour earlier this month mr sarandos said the 'eye opening' film was a 'great example of what could happen with a big budget movie if you give people distribution choices, even limited distribution choices' 'you can actually create a lot of revenue' the film's depiction of the leader (played here by actor randall park) angered north korea the country warned the film's release would be an 'act of war that we will never tolerate' and said the us will face 'merciless' retaliation in a statement, netflix said it was 'thrilled to offer exclusively the controversial comedy to our us and canadian members just 30 days after it debuted in theaters and pay per view' netflix's announcement, which came as part of the company's fourth quarter earnings release, was made on the same day sony pictures reported the film has grossed more than $40million in rentals and sales it has also made around $6million domestically in its limited theatrical release last month sony was targeted by a group of hackers that called themselves the guardians of peace, who released a number of company emails from top executives government officials revealed that north korea was behind the hack on the movie studio, although north korea continues to deny any involvement netflix's announcement, which came as part of the company's fourth quarter earnings release, was made on the same day sony pictures reported the film had grossed over $40million in rentals and sales sony originally announced it would not release the film at all after the terrorist threats, a decision that came after the five largest theater chains in north america announced they would no longer show it neflix's chief content officer ted sarandos said the 'eye opening' film proved companies could create a lot of revenue by giving the public multiple distribution choices many in hollywood voiced their concern, with writer aaron sorkin saying how upset he was that 'the us succumbed to an unprecedented attack on our most cherished, bedrock principle of free speech by a group of north korean terrorists' actor robe lowe wrote that the move was 'an utter and complete victory' for the hackers but it wasn't until president obama spoke out that the company changed it's mind during his end of year press conference, the president said sony made a crucial error in self censoring after a north korean cyber attack 'we cannot have a policy where some dictator somewhere can start imposing censorship here in the united states,' he said the president then called out kim jong un, adding 'it says something about north korea that its leaders thought a comedic movie posed a danger to their iron fisted rule' the real kim in a mushroom factory sony is both the first studio to release a major motion picture online and the first to simultaneously allow for the viewing of a film across three different platforms 'the notion that that was a threat to them?' he asked 'i think that gives you some kind of sense of what kind of regime we're talking about here' in a matter of days sony made the film available for limited theatrical release on its original christmas day premiere date as well as online and via video on demand at the time of its release, company ceo michael lynton said: 'while we hope this is only the first step of the film's release, we are proud to make it available to the public and to have stood up to those who attempted to suppress free speech' the public responded with a massive outpouring of support for the film thousands turned out for christmas eve midnight screenings across the country and tens of thousands of americans streamed the film online sony has now gone down it history for becoming the first studio to release a major motion picture online, as well as being the first studio to simultaneously allow for the viewing of a film across three different platforms

arriving at the chelsea and westminster hospital two weeks ago for my long awaited appointment, my mind was already on the pleasures i had planned for the next day this meeting with a gynaecologist had been in the diary for three months, so it was hardly urgent, and i had no reason to doubt i would be in good spirits for my son’s 22nd birthday celebrations 24 hours later little did i know that within half an hour i would be emerging from the consultant’s office in a state of shock, having been through one of the most physically traumatic experiences of my life scroll down for video hetty baynes (pictured) was scheduled for a routine examination for uterine fibroids, she left the consultant's office half an hour later in absolute agony far from the routine examination for uterine fibroids i had been led to expect, instead i was put through what amounted to an invasive surgical operation without an anaesthetic the procedure reduced me to a screaming, sobbing, quivering wreck and left me so wiped out i could barely get out of bed for five days it’s been a life changing experience, leaving me feeling deeply vulnerable, and when i think back to the woman who’d sat calmly in the waiting room, it is as if she were a different person — someone who naively thought doctors would always act in her best interests hetty was due to celebrate her son rex's 22nd birthday the day after the appointment but was left bedridden for five days after the traumatising experience the condition which had led me there was unpleasant — heavy bleeding caused by fibroids in my womb — but certainly not life threatening for women of my age (i am 58), this situation could almost be described as routine and when the doctor summoned me into her office with a broad smile i was once again reassured ‘we’re just going to do a quick internal examination and you’ll be on your way,’ she told me then she paused and added: ‘actually, while you’re here we should probably take a biopsy [to rule out cancer] it will be a little bit uncomfortable, but there shouldn’t be any pain is that ok?’ eager to help, i nodded, smiling the first alarm bell rang when the nurse patted my shoulder and said: ‘aren’t you brave? some women can’t manage to have this done, so good for you’ puzzled, i decided the best policy was to keep smiling but within five seconds of the procedure starting, a searing pain tore through my body what ensued was a procedure known as an endometrial biopsy, in which the lining of the uterus is cut and scraped away the procedure itself is common, especially among menopausal women i had been through something similar in the past, but for one crucial detail: in this instance, i was given no anaesthetic whatsoever most of these procedures are done under general anaesthetic, with patients leaving hospital the same day some patients prefer to have an epidural, meaning they feel nothing from the waist down, but these are more complicated for the anaesthetist and generally take longer to recover from hetty, pictured in 2011, was in so much pain during the procedure that she likened the experience to childbirth, judging her pain at a 9 on a 1 10 scale perhaps the quickest and cheapest option is to forego the anaesthetic altogether and this is what happened to me it was a brutal experience on a scale of one to ten, with ten being the pain of childbirth, i would rate it as a nine as the doctor took the biopsy, which involves cutting away part of the uterus lining, then scraped right into my uterus and ovaries (a procedure designed to reduce heavy bleeding), i was exploding in pain all the while the nurse was whispering in my ear: ‘you’re doing well so brave breathe deeply, it’s almost done’ hetty baynes, pictured here with former husband and film director ken russell hetty says she felt 'deceived and violated' after her experience in the consultant's office only it was far from over for a quarter of an hour i screamed, bawled and panted like a woman in labour the experience was so similar, i pointed out to the nurse that precisely 22 years earlier i had been in labour with my son, rex ‘well, it’s not as bad as that, is it?’ she said, still smiling in moments of extreme pain, time seems to stand still a minute can seem like an hour then, just as i felt the agony would never end, the nurse said: ‘all done i think you’ve earned a cup of coffee and a slice of cake’ dumbstruck, i left the room in a state of shock somehow i got home and fell into bed, spent hetty was treated at the chelsea and westminster hospital (pictured), but was not admitted for the procedure, she was treated as an outpatient for five days i was exhausted my son’s birthday was a washout instead of being treated by me to a day out, he was to spend the next week looking after me as the days passed, as the shock retreated, anger took its place why had it happened? what on earth would possess any clinician to put a patient through that sort of experience? exactly why hadn’t i been offered any anaesthetic? i felt deceived and violated not only was it painful, it was brutally intimate normally a woman will be unconscious or anaesthetised to the point where she is blissfully unaware of the procedure yet i had felt every scrape and cut to me, it seemed that the doctor and nurse — quite a double act with their breezy compliments — had blatantly groomed me i hadn’t even been asked to sign a consent form for the procedure was i ‘brave’, to repeat their mantra? not particularly stupid would be a more apt description, to fall for this con trick which persuaded me not to make a fuss hetty baynes, pictured last week, has said that given the horrific experience she had, she will be looking to get private health insurance in the future to prevent repeat experiences during the five days of bed rest that followed, i had plenty of time to reflect on the reasons for my horrendous experience i also learned i am not alone my best friend’s daughter recently had a similar experience during a procedure in which dye was passed through her fallopian tubes again, she suffered excruciating pain, and again the subject of an anaesthetic never even came up i also discovered that one woman who had an excruciating experience during a similar procedure to mine had taken the matter up with her mp, lyn brown, who raised the issue in the house of commons the mp said she’d been contacted by other women, all with horrifying stories but why would any doctor put a woman through this? it is hard to escape the conclusion that it is related to spending cutbacks hetty, pictured here with former husband and son, rex hetty was unable to work for a week after the procedure and says she has 'lost faith' in the nhs since it happened lying in bed, my mind wandered back to the nurse telling me so sweetly: ‘most women aren’t able to do this’ presumably they pulled the plug on the procedure from the first agonising scrape why didn’t i? because, perversely, i just wanted it to be over the appointment had been in the diary for three months and having come this far there seemed little logic in turning back again and again i was told the procedure was ‘almost done’, only for it to go on for another ten minutes in hindsight, i would have waited another year to have it done under anaesthetic, rather than endure that visceral pain hetty (pictured) says she wasn't even asked to sign a consent form before the procedure yet from the doctor’s perspective, this barbaric approach makes sense the nhs is stretched to breaking point if they can get away with treating me in half an hour, rather than booking out a hospital bed for an entire day and calling in the anaesthetist, then why not do it? while it’s not clear whether this policy is directly affecting pain relief provision in hospitals, the government has pledged to financially reward those that increase the number of procedures done as an outpatient without a general anaesthetic — including hysteroscopies i called my gp to seek advice he was shocked at what had happened, advising me that it is a fundamental principle of medicine that the doctor should have stopped the moment i showed signs of being in severe distress that they did not amounts to malpractice, and i am giving serious consideration to my options i do not want to sue the nhs for money — the last thing the system needs is another drain on its finances yet i am determined this should not be allowed to continue no matter what pressure doctors are under, they should not be allowed to hurt people like this much as i love the nhs, i am certain this never would have happened to me had i been a private patient because of this debacle i was unable to work for a week next month my latest acting project, opposite sir michael gambon in the bbc adaptation of the casual vacancy, will be aired and i am as busy as ever taking time off is not an option and if this experience has taught me one thing it is that i need to get myself some private health insurance, and fast the hard working people of the nhs may be doing their level best but i, for one, have lost faith a spokesman for the chelsea and westminster hospital said: ‘we want to provide the best quality care and patient experience possible and apologise for the fact hetty feels we did not meet this ‘we always try to avoid unnecessary surgery for every patient, as surgery carries risk obtaining an endometrial sample always takes place in the outpatient setting as part of the routine gynaecological consultation’ interview by richard price

junk food firms should be banned from running tv commercials before 9pm, say health experts junk food firms should be banned from running tv commercials before 9pm to help prevent parents from being hounded by their children, say health experts the call comes from the british heart foundation, which says current controls are weak with the result parents are under pressure to give youngsters unhealthy food and sugary drinks seven in ten parents with children aged four to 16 have been pestered by their children to buy junk food they have seen advertised on tv, according to a new survey by the charity the move to ban commercials for products high in fat, sugar and salt before 9pm has support of doctors and the labour party, which is expected to put the plan into its general election manifesto almost one in three children are overweight or obese with children from poorer households almost twice as likely to fall into this category as those from the most affluent families the bhf said obese children are more likely to become obese adults, putting them at greater risk of a coronary heart disease, stroke and some cancers in later life the tv regulator ofcom introduced restrictions on junk food advertising during programmes specifically targeted at children in 2007 however, it subsequently found that that this only reduced exposure to advertising of unhealthy food for children by 37per cent, and for older children (10 15 year olds) by just 22per cent the same research found television advertising can impact on children’s food preferences, consumption and behaviour, and that younger children in particular cannot distinguish advertising from entertainment the bhf poll found more than two fifths – 43per cent of parents with children aged 4 to 16 say they are badgered by their children at least once a week almost one in three children are overweight or obese with children from poorer households almost twice as likely to fall into this category as those from the most affluent families almost two fifths said they think junk food adverts on tv make it difficult to help their children eat a healthy diet the bhf believes that this survey highlights the urgent need to close legal loopholes in the uk’s regulatory system which mean companies are free to promote unhealthy food and drink products to children both online and on tv during popular family tv shows the group’s director of policy, mike hobday, said: ‘regulations for tv and online advertising in the uk are weak loopholes in the system mean that every day millions of children are exposed to sophisticated marketing techniques specifically designed to lure them into unhealthy eating habits ‘this evidence shows that junk food ads are having a detrimental impact on children’s behaviour and are hindering parents’ efforts to get their children to eat healthily ‘we cannot allow companies to continue exploiting holes in the system at the expense of our children’s health the government must act now to help give children a stronger chance at fending off future heart disease’ the idea of a ban before the 9pm tv watershed has been condemned by the health secretary jeremy hunt (above), who said that ‘banning and legislation not always the answer’ the policy is also supported by the academy of medical royal colleges, which said: ‘only a ban on advertising before the 9pm watershed would prevent children from viewing unhealthy content during family orientated programming ‘children of all ages are still exposed to a large amount of unhealthy food and drink advertising via popular all ages programmes, such as soaps or reality shows ‘while parents and those that care for children have a role to play in the food that their children consume, the food manufacturing industry have a major influence in terms of marketing and pricing’ the idea of a ban before the 9pm tv watershed has been condemned by the health secretary jeremy hunt, who said that ‘banning and legislation not always the answer’ and that ‘backing families to make better choices brings lasting change’ the trade body which speaks for advertising companies, the incorporated society of british advertisers, said there is no such thing as junk food, only junk diets spokesman, ian twinn, said: ‘there is room for concern about childhood and adult obesity and levels of people being overweight sadly the debate then breaks down for two simple reasons first, campaigners seem convinced that foods can be called ‘junk’, very few foods are ‘secondly, the prescribed solutions, usually ad bans or exiling ads to late night, are placebos, which if taken seriously will not make people thin ‘we need to continue educating children and parents on the issues of a healthy and responsible diet the advertising industry is committed to this, but are the campaigners?’ nick court, of the food & drink federation, said: ‘in the uk we have one of the strictest advertising regulatory regimes in the world concerning the foods that can be advertised to children on tv ‘these rules are comprehensively adhered to and enforced many companies go even further, developing their own responsible marketing guidelines and making voluntary commitments’

these players recognise your work on the pitch 'i always try my best for the team and it is nice to get awards but really this is for my team mates and the staff at liverpool because without their help i wouldn't have this prize' chelsea forward eden hazard, who scooped the young player of the year award, came second in the main vote, while manchester city talisman yaya toure came third suarez, who becomes the first liverpool player to win the award since steven gerrard in 2006, was the overwhelming favourite for the top award the uruguayan has put behind him a troublesome year which saw him agitating for a move in the summer, even at one stage claiming manager brendan rodgers had reneged on a deal to allow him to leave for a champions league club man in form: suarez has been in breathtaking form in front of goal all season long for the reds bang in form: suarez has somehow managed to net a staggering 30 goals for the premier league title chasers gk: petr cech (chelsea) rb:

the credit should be with the player 'he is a brilliant talent i think the supporters have seen him mature over the course of the last season,' rodgers said of suarez on friday 'i think he was in a real low moment after that game (against chelsea last year) but he has gone away and probably looked in the mirror and reflected on himself because he is not that type of guy and it probably just spilled over 'he is a really intelligent man who fits the values of this club, which is all about humility, class and he has all of that 'he is a sheer winner and that probably overspilled last year but his development over the last year has been remarkable both on and off the field and liverpool have benefited from that 'for me he is the consistently outstanding player over the course of the last year' trouble: suarez was banned for eight games after patrice evra claimed he was racially abused by the striker 2013 april 21 bites branislav ivanovic on the arm but escapes punishment on the

gerrard, whose mistake proved costly against chelsea, was on the shortlist knows where the net is: daniel sturridge has scored 20 goals for brendan rodgers' side this year suarez, who has terrorised premier league defences all season, topped a six man shortlist which also included his strike partner sturridge, liverpool captain steven gerrard, toure, hazard and southampton midfielder adam lallana rather amusingly, suarez walked into the room during comedian kevin bridge's set before the award was announced the funnyman appeared to let suarez off though, joking: 'are you confident luis?' all six nominees were named in the pfa's premier league team of the year, alongside chelsea pair petr cech and gary cahill, manchester city captain vincent kompany and full backs seamus coleman and luke

margaret thatcher would have rejected and confronted the ‘pessimism’ of ukip, george osborne said last night the chancellor sought to seize the mantle of the late prime minister for today’s conservatives, saying they should project an optimistic vision of britain’s future and address the country’s self doubt he likened lady thatcher’s mission to drag the country out of the malaise of the 1970s to that now facing the government, and said the success in turning the economy round over the past five years showed britain’s best days still lie ahead george osborne has said margaret thatcher would have rejected and confronted the 'pessimism' of ukip addressing the first margaret thatcher conference on liberty, organised by the centre for policy studies think tank, mr osborne said labour was represented by ‘pessimists’ who ‘don’t trust human instincts’ and want to ‘control and suppress them with a more powerful state’ but in a clear reference to the rise of ukip, which topped the polls in last month’s european elections, he added: ‘there’s also a pessimistic tendency that can emerge on the populist right the tendency to bemoan the present day, and put the past on a pedestal ‘it sees life as better in 1954 or even 1854, than 2014 it is a tendency that says britain’s best days are behind it – when i believe our country’s brightest days lie ahead margaret thatcher confronted and overcame the same pessimism in britain in the 1970s she was always talking the country up, not down we must do the same’ former tory minister jonathan aitken, lady thatcher’s unofficial biographer, has said she would not have voted ukip but might have been ‘secretly cheering them on’ questioning: mr osborne suggested she would have dismissed the pessimistic prospectus of nigel farage's party but mr osborne suggested she would have dismissed ukip’s pessimistic prospectus ‘she believed britain could be a strong economy again; that militant trade unions could be overcome; that the cold war could be won,’ he told delegates at london’s guildhall ‘it is difficult to appreciate today how completely outside the consensus her confidence in britain and its capabilities was ‘not just on the left, but the right too, a deep malaise had crept in managed decline had been the mantra until she arrived ‘as optimistic conservatives who believe in the power of ideas like freedom and aspiration, our generation’s mission is to confront and overcome this latest bout of western self doubt our free market economy can be the most prosperous’ education secretary michael gove undermined mr osborne’s message by telling the same conference that ‘living in the 18th century for many of us would be a very attractive thing to do’

the ceo of spotify has finally responded to taylor swift's refusal to post any of her albums on the streaming service, revealing he is 'really frustrated' with the singer daniel ek said in an open letter that while he agrees with swift's belief that music is art and has real value, he was upset with how her comments made it seem as if his service does not compensate artists he then stated that spotify has 'paid more than $2billion to labels, publishers and collecting societies for distribution to songwriters and recording artists' scroll down for video fighting back: spotify ceo daniel ek (above) says in an open letter he is 'really frustrated' with taylor swift and other artists who feel his streaming service does not compensate musicians shake it off: swift (above) has refused to put any of her albums, including her latest, 1989, on spotify 'taylor swift is absolutely right: music is art, art has real value, and artists deserve to be paid for it,' ek starts off his letter 'we started spotify because we love music and piracy was killing it' ek then points out that it is piracy that is ruining music and hurting musicians, and that no one has made any money at all from piracy, while spotify has paid out the aforementioned $2billion to members of the music industry he then goes into his problem with the artists who complain about his service 'when i hear stories about artists and songwriters who say they’ve seen little or no money from streaming and are naturally angry and frustrated, i’m really frustrated too,' he says 'as i said, we’ve already paid more than $2 billion in royalties to the music industry and if that money is not flowing to the creative community in a timely and transparent way, that’s a big problem' he then breaks down some of the myths people believe to be true, like the fact that artists don't really get paid by services like spotify 'unlike other free music options – from piracy to youtube to soundcloud – we pay artists and rights holders every time a song is played on our free service,' he explains record numbers: ek (left) says his service has paid $2billion to the music industry since its start, and that the real enemy to musicians like swift (right) is piracy he then takes on the claim that no artist could ever earn a living from their music playing on spotify because they pay so little per play, comparing his service to radio 'if a song has been listened to 500 thousand times on spotify, that’s the same as it having been played once on a us radio station with a moderate sized audience of 500 thousand people which would pay the recording artist precisely … nothing at all but the equivalent of that one play and it’s 500 thousand listens on spotify would pay out between three and four thousand dollars' ek then shades swift a bit by listing the artists who have successfully promoted their albums on spotify before their release, including her pal ed sheeran and diva pop star ariana grande, and pointing out that the most pirated album in the world last week was swift's newest release, 1989 despite those piracy numbers, swift did still manage to shatter single week sales records when she moved 13 million copies of the album in its debut week, the most since 2002 wait a minute: major artists like adele (left) and beyonce (right) have withheld new music from the streaming service for months after its release ek closes his letter by saying of spotify, 'we’re not just streaming, we’re mainstreaming now, and that’s good for music makers and music lovers around the world' swift is not the first artist to withhold music from spotify, with big name artists including adele and beyonce waiting months to release their albums in full to the service other artists have been more vocal about their dislike for the way the site operates, including radiohead frontman thom yorke who took spotify to task over their business model yorke wrote on twitter, 'make no mistake, new artists you discover on spotify will not get paid meanwhile shareholders will shortly be rolling in it simples' he then added in another tweet, 'new artists get paid fu*k all with this model' angry bird: radiohead frontman thom yorke (left) has expressed his disdain for the service and how it does not help new artists, while investor sean parker (right) was called an 'a**hole' and a 'thief' by black keys singer patrick carney black keys frontman patrick carney also voiced his disdain for the service, and one of its original investors, infamous tech entrepreneur and napster founder sean parker, who he labeled an 'a**hole' 'that guy has $2 billion that he made from figuring out ways to steal royalties from artists, and that’s the bottom line,' said carney 'you can’t really trust anybody like that'

earl grey tea, much favoured in downton abbey, contains extracts of a fruit called bergamot which scientists believe is a superfood for the heart a cup of earl grey tea can lower cholesterol and reduce the chances of heart disease, according to scientists the beverage, much favoured in downton abbey, contains extracts of a fruit called bergamot which scientists believe is a superfood for the heart and it could even be as effective as statins, the controversial wonder drugs used to control cholesterol but which can have side effects in patients the bergamot is a mediterranean citrus fruit which gives earl grey the distinct taste and smell that has traditionally made it popular with the upper and middle classes now new research claims it contains enzymes known as hmgf (hydroxy methyl glutaryl flavonones) which can treat heart diseases as effectively as statins researchers from italy’s university of calabria for the journal of functional foods used concentrations of hmgf on the proteins which cause heart disease and ‘bad’ cholesterol they then compared the effects with that of statins used to treat the same proteins and found the bergomot extract with hmgf worked just as well not only did it reduce levels of ldl so called ‘bad cholesterol’ which leads to heart disease but also increased hdl, which doctors call ‘good cholesterol’ citrus foods have long been part of the famed ‘mediterranean diet’ which has been hailed as one of the best ways to avoid heart disease the biggest killer in the western world the journal’s report said: “high cholesterol is a common health concern for us all and often statins are given to help treat the condition the bergamot is a mediterranean citrus fruit which gives earl grey the distinct taste and smell that has traditionally made it popular with the upper and middle classes “extract from bergamot most commonly used in earl grey tea reduced total cholesterol, and ldl levels but there was an increase in hdl levels (good cholesterol) “therefore a daily supplement of bergamot fruit extract could be very effective for the treatment of high cholesterol” bergamot has long been used in traditional ‘folk’ medicines in the mediterranean not only as a protection for the heart but also to treat wounds, inflammation and as an antiseptic the extracts have even been used in jams, ice cream and perfumes in the region, said the researchers superfood: the bergamot flower the plant has long been used in traditional folk medicines in the mediterranean

a globetrotting musician from barcelona has gone all out in recreating german composer j s bach's first cello suite singing 658 notes over 329 days in more than 25 cities across the world, publio delgado has managed to achieve his very own work of art the 30 year old, who performed at concerts around the globe to fund his travels, remained disciplined in his filming the result is this unique video travel log with a highly impressive soundtrack indeed explaining why he chose bach's cello suite no1, he tells mailonline: 'i needed a piece composed only by a melody, without harmony, so i could just sing it by myself without having to depend on including other people for other possible voices 'this was perfect for it, not only because it met that requirement, but also because it's a beautiful and world wide well known piece' a noteworthy performance: publio delgado from barcelona managed to perform bach's cello suite no1 by singing two chords a day during his time abroad each day, for just under a year, publio found the time to sing two pitches in order to imitate this classical music extravaganza almost to perfection, despite having a very active social life one moment he's busy exploring a range of stunning landscapes across japan and the next he is chilling on the beach back in spain, using the subway in nyc, or playing in the snow in boston but, as filming spans such a long period of time, he is often seen completing mundane tasks too such as bathing, hanging up laundry or even lying down for a nap in the footage, you are immediately thrown into the traveller's exciting world as he spends time with close friends, near and far if only for a brief moment, it is fantastic to see all the different backdrops that make up nearly a year of his care free life fast paced: the 30 year old offers viewers a brief glimpse into his travels as he sings each chord in a different location however, publio admits that he faced some technical difficulties while piecing the project together one month before he finished, his editing software crashed and he lost all his hard work but luckily he had been keeping the videos in two different hard drives, just in case something like that happened, and he began reediting it from the beginning 'i wanted to shoot the video in the most beautiful possible landscapes,' he adds 'for example, in japanese island hachijojima i climbed up a mountain for three hours just to get a good shot of the island, and then i got lost on my way back and it took me other 3 4 hours to get back to the village now he's here, now he's there: publio visits spain, japan and new york during 11 months of travel 'some other days, right before sleeping i just realised i hadn't recorded anything that day so i just did whatever' during his time travelling, publio says he did not have a specific route and booked tickets to different places on 'impulse', especially when he found a good deal and could afford it 'every city/village/culture i visited has their own thing going on; their own strengths, their own weaknesses, and instead of deciding which one is the best, i'd rather just try to get influenced by the best of each place' disciplined: not a day passes that the golden voiced globetrotter missed a note upon his return, is there anywhere where is desperate to travel to again? he says: 'i always repeat destinations and i try to travel places when they have their best weather 'i like to go up north in europe on summer, asia in fall and spring and the south of spain in winter 'there's still a lot of places i haven't been, i never visited the south hemisphere, and either africa, south america or oceania are continents where i really really want to go and what advice would he give to anyone traveling around the world? 'instead of visiting the tallest tower, the oldest temple, the biggest shopping mall, why not just try to live a daily life with local people, blend with their culture, eat where they eat, hang where they hang, and eventually become one more of them?'

‘super saturday’ at london 2012, only long jumper greg rutherford is here glasgow 2014 chief executive, david grevemberg, said: ‘there’s no question we’re disappointed that mo farah announced he would be withdrawing we’re very disappointed for mo we knew how much he wanted to be here ‘i’m sure there will be some  disappointed people, but there are plenty of great athletes here’ farah, 31, has opted to stay at his training base at altitude in font romeu in france, rather than travel to glasgow, after finally deciding on wednesday night he is not in good enough shape it is understood he considered forfeiting the 5,000m on sunday to give him five days’ extra recovery for the 10,000m on friday, but  ultimately opted to sidestep  the games altogether after  discussions with his coach, alberto salazar, and british athletics  performance director neil black farah said in a statement: ‘i  have taken the tough decision to  withdraw from the commonwealth games the sickness i had two weeks ago was a big setback for me training is getting better here in font romeu but i need another few weeks to get back to the level i was at in 2012 and 2013 video farah out of commonwealth games blow for

zurich in august, and british athletics officials remain confident he will finally reach the start line after pulling out of the glasgow grand prix and london anniversary games in recent weeks his competition within europe, is significantly inferior to kenyans he might have faced in glasgow — including caleb mwangangi ndiku, 21, who has run 13min 0171sec for 5,000m this year farah has managed only 13min 2342sec, after he returned to the track following his eighth place in the london marathon in april, but was understood to be ‘flying’ in training in the states before  suffering stomach pains on top of the world: farah won two olympic golds in london in 2012

the royal mint has started selling gold and silver bars directly to the public for the first time silver minted bars are available in 100g units, while the gold bars range from 1g to 100g depending on the price of the precious metals at the time of purchase, a 1g gold bar could cost around £40, while 100g could be around £2,800 the bars are branded with the initials rmr for royal mint refinery, which was last used in 1968 golden deal: the royal mint has started selling gold and silver bars directly to the public for the first time the royal mint refinery marque dates back to 1852 and the brand became known for handling much of the gold and silver bullion sent to london from across the world for processing under the rmr label the name survived the first and second world wars until production ceased in 1968 the new bars are likely to appeal to people looking for a 'cost effective' way to buy bullion, with the gold bars having the added appeal of being vat free, the mint said uk citizens looking to enhance their self invested personal pension (sipp) or small self administered scheme can get up to 45 per cent tax relief on their purchase of gold rmr bars if they are bought through their pension scheme solid price: gold bars range from 1g to 100g, and silver are available in 100g units lisa elward, the royal mint's head of international sales and bullion, said: 'we are thrilled to be able to add minted bars bearing the historic royal mint refinery marque to our bullion range' the rmr bars are being made available directly to customers through royalmintbullioncom, the mint's online bullion trading platform which was set up last september to help people to buy and sell gold easily and securely when the mint set up the site, it said that consumers had in the past been been deterred by perceived barriers to buying precious metals it also pointed to research by the world gold council which suggested that there was potentially £4 billion worth of untapped demand for gold investment within the uk alone as well as bearing the rmr logo, the bars will also be given a unique serial number

women using donor sperm may be more likely to get pregnant if the man is aged 40 and older rather than younger, say british scientists the first major study to investigate the effect of male age on fertility treatment using donor sperm found no difference in the rate of live babies born whether the man was in his 40s or 20s in fact, women were slightly more likely to have a baby if the sperm was donated by a middle aged man, probably because he’s already proved his fertility by having a family of his own current uk guidelines suggest men should not be accepted as donors over the age of 40, but experts say it may be time for a re think to ease the growing shortage of sperm donors the first major study to investigate the effect of male age on fertility at the newcastle fertility centre at life found it is sperm quality rather than a donor's age that matters when it comes to conception at least one quarter of donor sperm used in british fertility clinics comes from abroad, much of it from denmark the results of the study are to be reported tomorrow at the annual meeting of the european society of human reproduction and embryology (eshre) in munich the study looked at 40,000 treatment cycles involving donor sperm between 1991 and 2012 from the database held by the uk fertility watchdog, the human fertilisation and embryology authority (hfea) the findings showed no significant differences in the rate of live babies born relative to the age of the sperm donor for sperm donors aged under 20, the birth rate using ivf techniques was 283 per cent – rising to 304 per cent when the donors was aged 41 45 years in donor insemination patients, the birth rate was 97 per cent with a donor aged under 20 and 12 per cent with a donor aged 41 45 dr meenakshi choudhary, from the newcastle fertility centre at life, newcastle upon tyne, led the study with colleague dr navdeep ghuman dr choudhary said ‘no decline in live births was observed with the increasing age of men, that’s the take home message from a large national database ‘it’s sperm quality rather than male age that matters ‘our study shows that we are good at selecting the right sperm donors with the right sperm quality – and that’s why we found no difference in live birth rate despite the increasing age of sperm donors’ although the figures reveal a trend of women being slightly less likely to get pregnant using sperm from younger donors, this could be explained by the fact that they may not have proven fertility, she said older men wanting to donate sperm probably already have a family, said dr choudhary, a consultant in reproductive medicine and gynaecology researchers found women were slightly more likely to have a baby if the sperm was donated by a middle aged man, probably because he¿s already proved his fertility by having a family of his own uk experts are concerned about acute shortages of donor sperm and eggs for couples desperate to start a family a change in uk law in 2005 requiring donors to reveal their identities to any children born as a result when they reach 18 is blamed by some for long waiting lists demand for sperm has been fuelled by single women and women delaying motherhood, according to the hfea the hfea’s code of practice recommends clinics don’t use sperm donors over 45, but guidelines for doctors suggest 40 as the cut off point the study included older men because the data goes back in time beyond recent guidelines dr choudhary said the average age of sperm donors at her unit had risen from 26 years to 34 years since the lifting of anonymity this meant worried women were asking whether their chances of getting pregnant would be harmed by using sperm from older donors, she said, but ‘it may be better’ 'no decline in live births was observed with the increasing age of men, that’s the take home message from a large national database it’s sperm quality rather than male age that matters' dr meenakshi choudhary, from the newcastle fertility centre at life it was her job to produce the data, and the hfea as policy maker could decide whether it should lead to a relaxation of the age limit, she added however, sarah norcross, director of the progress educational trust, said ‘given the need for more sperm donors in the uk, perhaps it is time for the guidelines on sperm donation to be reviewed in light of this study, to consider extending the upper age limit’ there are doubts about using sperm from older donors because it has been linked to greater risk of miscarriage, pregnancy loss and birth defects ‘advanced paternal age has also been associated with long term disorders in offspring but the available evidence is limited’ said dr choudhary professor allan pacey, chair of the british fertility society, said the rise in such disorders is ‘very small but detectable’ ‘the study shows success rates from donor sperm up to the age of 45 are unaffected by age, but it does not answer the question about the health of the children’ he added prof pacey, senior lecturer in reproduction and developmental medicine at the university of sheffield, said ‘i think i would be worried about raising the age limit for sperm donors to 45 because of the possible effects on the health of children’ he said that for every 100 men who apply to be sperm donors, only about five are accepted a quarter of all donated sperm used in clinics was imported from outside the uk

cult leader warren jeffs has spent the past six years behind bars after being arrested and later convicted of sexual abuse of young girls, but that has not stopped him from continuing to exude complete control over his polygamous community a friday expose on abc’s 20/20 has revealed the insulated world of the fundamentalist latter day saints church where jeffs’ 8,000 followers continue to believe that he is a prophet and god who has been wrongly imprisoned ‘anybody who thinks that warren jeffs' incarceration ended his rule in this community has no idea what they're talking about,’ said reporter mike watkiss ‘he is in many ways more powerful because now he's martyred’ innocent victims: children living in warren jeffs' compound are taught that the self proclaimed prophet convicted of child sex abuse is the us president a 2008 raid on jeffs' flds stronghold in eldorado, texas, revealed the polygamous community which included pregnant child brides in pastel prairie dresses with elaborate braided hairdos the flds holds polygamy as a fundamental belief and its men take multiple wives in what are termed 'celestial marriages' each performed in a ceremony called a 'sealing' the utah based church believes polygamy brings exaltation in heaven and arranged marriages  sometimes involve underage girls more than a year after his conviction of child sex abuse, it appears that little has changed in the remote yearning for zion compound in colorado city housing the fundamentalist latter day saints, a radical wing of the mormon church religious studies: children in the local schoolhouse are taught jeffs' proverbs in place of science or history oppressed: in the male dominated community, the women live in polygamous marriages where each man has at least three sister wives styling tips: fundamentalist latter day saint women are not allowed to cut their hair because it is believed that they will need it to wash men's feet in heaven like in the past, jeffs decides where people live, whom they marry and even what they eat and how they dress children of cult members receive little more than a grade school education where science and history are ignored in favour of religious studies with an emphasis on jeffs’ proverbs, and where every school book must be personally approved by the leader totalitarian leader: jeffs was convicted last year of molesting two teenage girls and sentenced to life in prison, but he continues to have control over his sect one proverb reads: 'when you disobey there must and will always be a punishment' children in the local schoolhouse are also taught that jeffs was the president of the united states and that god led neil armstrong away from the moon during the apollo 11 when questioned by an abc reporter about their general level of knowledge, a trio of girls who escaped the cult several months earlier along with their mother said that they had never heard of ronald reagan, santa claus or aids the women are always covered from neck to ankle because they believe their bodies are sacred town dressmaker lizzie jeffs said: 'we believe in being modest 'the lord teaches us that if we can dress properly, it is easier to see each other as a whole person inside and out' women must never cut their hair because it is believed that they will need it to wash men's feet in heaven they all live in polygamous marriages where each man has at least three sister wives the flds organization is protected by utah’s homeschooling law, which means that state officials have no say about the content of the curriculum taught on the grounds of the secured compound in august 2011, jeffs, 56, was found guilty of molesting two girls ages 12 and 15 whom he took as brides in 'spiritual marriages’ handpicked fathers: flds children bath in a river in their clothes for modesty in the cult where 15 men have been handpicked by jeffs to father all the children married couples are banned from having sex banished: jeffs ordered 500 600 men and women expelled from flds, among them carling steed (pictured with third wife suzette) modesty is sacred: the women are always covered from neck to ankle because they believe their bodies are sacred town dressmaker lizzie jeffs (pictured) said the dresses 'make it easier to see each other as a whole person inside and out' apostates: carling steed's third wife, suzette, second left, and their six daughters, left the community and the church in search of a normal life grim prediction: flds apostate willie steed said that as long as jeffs lives, his community will remain loyal to him eleven other flds men were charged with crimes including sexual assault and bigamy so far, all seven, who have been prosecuted, have been convicted receiving prison sentences of between six and 75 years in recent months, it appears that the all powerful self proclaimed prophet has begun unraveling, issuing ever more bizarre edicts to the members of his community such as a ban on children’s toys and the consumption of corn more importantly, jeffs has ordered married couples in his community to stop having sex or even touching one another instead, he selected 15 men from among his trusted followers to father all the future flds children now, if a woman wants to have a baby, she has to approach one of the men handpicked for the task by jeffs the sexual act must be witnessed by two other men from the group in a tragic twist, the jailed cult leader ordered that 500 600 men and women be banished without any explanation from the compound, which for many of them had been the only home they had ever known the effect of this decree issued from behind bars has been devastating to many families that were torn apart so absolute is jeffs’ control over his flock that those members who were ordered to leave, severed all ties with their loved ones still living on the compound for fear of retribution willie steed, 18, who left the group along with his mother, suzette, and six sisters after their father carling was banished, said that as long as jeffs is alive, his spell over the insular community of colorado city will not be broken ‘he is their idol, and they worship him,’ he said

a prominent republican woman launched a she said, she said battle over wages on wednesday morning by accusing the white house of paying women less than men – just hours after president barack obama begged congress to outlaw the practice high stakes gender politics made an appearance in tuesday's state of the union address when the president insisted that 'congress still needs to pass a law that makes sure a woman is paid the same as a man for doing the same work' 'really,' he said to cheers from democrats on capitol hill 'it’s 2015 it’s time' on wednesday morning former hewlett packard ceo carly fiorina claimed 'the president hasn't really led in this regard he's not paying women equally by his own measures in his own white house' 'he's not paying women equally,' former hewlett packard ceo carly fiorina (left) said of the president, during a morning show joust with white house adviser valerie jarrett (right) president barack obama made a point of mentioning pay equity for women in his state of the union speech, a political dog whistle that motivates democratic voters but is subject to widely varying interpretation the line brought applause from democrats but not much enthusiasm from republicans, who 'won't stand – literally – for pay equity,' according to some wags on twitter fiorina, herself a potential 2016 presidential candidate, glossed over details from the administration's annual report to congress on white house staff that show women are paid equally for the same work but aren't trusted with as many high level jobs she aired her complaint on msnbc's morning joe program, where she faced off against top obama adviser valerie jarrett 'every woman across the nation agrees that equal pay for equal work is absolutely required,' fiorina said 'i also think it's just a fact that laws exist on the books today, and if a woman is being discriminated against because of her gender, she should use the full extent of that law' jarrett fired back 'let's unpack your question a little bit in the white house women do earn equal pay for equal work,' she said obama's salary data show that male white collar white house employees earn an average of about $88,600, compared with $78,400 for females that 13 per cent wage gap is in line with the federal government as a whole, according to the office of personnel management but it's larger than the overall gap in the district of columbia, which the washington post reports is 99 per cent nationally, women in the us earn 235 per cent less than men that number, like the white house's, results in large part from women holding more junior level jobs with lower salaries fewer men take time away from their careers to raise children, giving them access to continued career advancement and salary growth and some researchers point to trends in women's employment that suggest many mothers accept lower wages in exchange for better health benefits and greater flexibility in working hours that may be one reason why 87 men in the white house earn six figure salaries, something only 53 women on obama's staff can saycompared to 53 female white house officials the white house's 2014 report also showed that there are two more men than women in the highest ranking positions fiorina's spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment but the longtime tech executive, who ran an unsuccessful bid for a california us> senate seat in 2012, hinted during the on air tussle that her real target was labor unions and their preference for seniority based pay systems 'the single greatest impediment to equal pay for equal work is this seniority system, which pays not on merit, not on performance, but on time and grade,' she claimed 'and who is it who supports the seniority system? unions, government bureaucracies, the vast majority of constituencies that the democratic party represents and who support the democratic party' paying women 'by merit and by their results,' fiorina insisted, would result in a system where 'women will be paid equally' fiorina, a onetime us senate candidate in california, now lives in virginia and is weighing a presidential run in 2016 jarrett is among the obamas' oldest friends from their chicago days, and is seen in washington as a political 'fixer' who has the president's ear more often than his cabinet secretaries jarrett fired back that obama's state of the union barb about pay equity was a reference to the paycheck fairness act, a bill that republicans have consistently blocked since 2009 the national women's law center supports the measure, saying it would allow judges to take a close look at companies' pay practices to be sure any gender disparities 'serve a legitimate business purpose' and spring from 'factors other than sex' business advocates and their republican supporters, however, maintain that there is a broad list of reasons why some women earn less than some men in 2009 the us department of labor commissioned a study from the consad research corporation that counseled the government on how to interpret wage data from the us census and other sources it found that 'differences in the compensation of men and women are the result of a multitude of factors' 'the differences in raw wages may be almost entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male and female workers,' the report concluded the equal pay act of 1963 already makes it illegal to pay women less than men for performing the same job in the same company

an oxford professor who was found dead at a fellow academic's home had suffered a mental breakdown in the last year, it was revealed colleagues of eminent astrophysicist steven rawlings said he had been struggling with mental health problems since summer last year they have become so bad that professor rawlings, 50, had stepped down from his role in overseeing the team building the world's largest radio telescope professor rawlings had played a huge part in developing the square kilometre array (ska) which will be able to look 13 billion years back in time to the beginnings of the universe speaking out: professor rawlings' widow linda (left) yesterday said she believes the death of her husband (right) was a 'tragic accident' but he was unable to complete his project and also dropped out of his academic work at oxford university's st peter's college best friend dr devinder sivia was yesterday released on bail as police downgraded the investigation into the academic's death mathematician dr sivia, 49, had shared dinner at a local pub with professor rawlings on wednesday night and became increasingly concerned about his friend's behaviour staff at the bear hotel in wantage, oxfordshire, said frequent visitor professor rawlings was unusually subdued former nasa worker dr sivia invited him to stay at his bungalow in southmoor, near abingdon, oxfordshire, but when they got to his home his friend apparently became increasingly agitated and apparently attacked dr sivia in the altercation that followed, the professor collapsed on the floor from a suspected heart attack dr sivia dialed 999 and alerted neighbours, but despite their efforts to resuscitate him he died at the scene professor phil diamond, who had worked closely with professor rawlings on the ska scheme, told the newspaper: 'he became very withdrawn and dropped out of both his academic work and the ska 'i was told he suffered some mental problems but i don't know what caused them 'i thought he was suffering from depression but he had shown no symptoms before, nor at this meeting in rome' held: dr devinder sivia has been bailed following the death of his colleague and best friend steven rawlings, who was found dead at the maths lecturer's home three decades ago: the friends circled in their first year at st john's college, cambridge, in 1981 professor rawlings distraught widow said last night her husband's death was not murder linda rawlings said: 'steve and devinder were best friends since college and i believe this is a tragic accident 'i do not believe that steve's death is murder and i do not believe devinder should be tarnished in this way' dr sivia's brother gurdip insisted the death could only have been an unfortunate tragedy he said of dr sivia: 'there is just no anger in him, ever 'he would have walked away from any confrontation he would never say boo to a goose even if someone attacked him, i cannot believe he would fight back' the maths lecturer was arrested on suspicion of murder but police now believe there may have been no criminal offence committed lecturer: dr sivia worked in the maths department at st john's college in oxford guard: a police officer stands outside the home of dr sivia after the force launched a murder investigation into the death of professor rawlings dr sivia, who teaches 'maths with natural sciences' to chemistry and physics students at st john's college in oxford, is apparently 'absolutely beside himself' at the death of his best friend the mathematician's family said the two men had been close since meeting as young undergraduates at st john's college in cambridge more than 30 years ago his father, gurbakhsh sivia, 80, said his son rang him from a police station after his arrest to say: 'dad, there's been a tragedy and i'm in police custody under suspicion it's being investigated but i'm hoping it will be sorted out' professor rawlings and dr  sivia co wrote a book titled foundations    of science mathematics, which was printed in paperback in 1999 part of the oxford chemistry primers series, it provides explanations of mathematical principles for undergraduates  studying for a wide range of  science degrees the book, available for £1399, covers topics ‘from basic  arithmetic and algebra to calculus’ and was praised by reviewers on the internet, one of whom described it as ‘brilliant’ the reviewer added: ‘i have found it so useful, as i am a physics undergraduate, for my course ‘it covers everything i need and will be useful to look back at  maths i have done in the past, for future reference mr sivia, a retired maths teacher from gravesend, kent, said the whole family was shocked 'they were very, very good friends, inseparable friends they were like brothers my son is a good son and a dedicated teacher he has very simple habits – he never drinks, he never smokes it's unimaginable 'they've been friends ever since they studied at cambridge university together i've known him for 20 years when my son was ill, steven would bring flowers and food to his house to help out' after hearing his son had been released, mr sivia said: 'although this is some ray of good news, it is still a tragedy as steven is not with us any more' the sivia family moved from punjab, india, when devinder was five he was educated in england and studied science at cambridge, completing a first degree and phd before going to the united states to work for nasa at their space centre for three years his brother gurdip, a warehouse worker from winson green, birmingham, said the british and australian governments both wanted him to work for them after nasa, adding: 'eventually the british government got him back and set him up in a laboratory at oxford' he said dr sivia was a former colleague of dr david kelly, the government weapons inspector found dead in woods near his southmoor home after he was named as the source of a report that tony blair's government 'sexed up' its iraq weapons dossier 'he worked with david kelly and knew him well,' said gurdip, 59 'they worked together i think and lived very near each other' he said his brother had never been in a serious relationship as he was 'married to his work' professor rawlings, a lead scientist in the world's largest radio telescope project, lived with his wife in letcombe regis, near wantage, oxfordshire in a statement issued by thames valley police, mrs rawlings said: 'steve was a well loved, caring, intelligent, sensitive man steve is a man of integrity, kindness and a very accessible person 'steve was the love of my life and we have known each other all of these years and he has never changed, even though he has achieved so much and has all these qualities i will miss him more  than anything else in the world' police say a post mortem examination proved inconclusive and further tests will be carried out over the coming weeks detective superintendent rob mason, from the force's major crime unit, said: 'we can confirm that the two individuals involved have been friends for over 30 years 'i would emphasise that the police are investigating all potential circumstances that could have led to his death 'we are

after 15 months in orbit the us air force’s highly secret unmanned space plane successfully touched down yesterday, and it’s highly anticipated landing was caught on film the military's unmanned x 37b robotic space shuttle returned from orbit at 5:48 am in california from a secretive test flight and now officials from the vandenberg air force base have released a short video of the smooth landing the first part of the 117 minute video, which captured the plane’s final descent, is shot in infrared light scroll down for video home: the military's unmanned x 37b robotic space shuttle returned from orbit at 5:48 am saturday in california from a secretive test flight, air force officials confirmed back: an infrared view shows the x 37b unmanned spacecraft landing at california's vandenberg air force base, 130 miles northwest of los angeles the plane’s belly and nose glow bright orange showing the retained heat from piercing through the earth’s atmosphere after the plane touches down the film switches out of the infrared light, showing the shuttle in good shape after its mysterious mission the miniature space plane touched down at california's vandenberg air force base, 130 miles northwest of los angeles it was only the second us vehicle to make an autonomous runway landing from space the space plane, also known as orbital test vehicle 2, or otv 2, fired its engine to slip out of orbit, then pierced through the atmosphere and glided down the runway  just as an ordinary airplane would 'with the retirement of the space shuttle fleet, the x 37b otv program brings a singular capability to space technology development,' said lieutenant colonel tom mcintyre, x 37b program manager 'the return capability allows the air force to test new technologies without the same risk commitment faced by other programs we're proud of the entire team's successful efforts to bring this mission to an outstanding conclusion' the military's first x 37b debuted in 2010 and autonomously landed at vandenberg after 224 days in space smooth landing: the unmanned air force space plane steered itself to a landing early saturday capping a 15 month clandestine mission returned: the space plane, also known as orbital test vehicle 2, or otv 2, fired its engine to slip out of orbit, then pierced through the atmosphere and glided down the runway like an airplane would enlarge this computer image shows the space plane re entering earth although it resembles a small space shuttle it is not designed to carry humans it's wingspan is a mere 45m with a length of 89m it is powered by batteries and solar cells the former soviet union's buran space shuttle, which made a single spaceflight in 1988, was the first ship to make an autonomous landing from orbit the military will not disclose what otv 2 was doing during its 15 months in orbit, but a third mission already is on the calendar for launch this fall otv 2 blasted off aboard an unmanned atlas 5 rocket from cape canaveral air force station on march 5, 2011 at launch, the space plane was accompanied by staff in biohazard suits, leading to speculation that there were radioactive components on board boeing phantom works built two of the robotic space planes, which resemble diminutive space shuttle orbiters, as test vehicles the military, which took over the program from nasa, says it is using them to learn how to quickly and inexpensively refurbish reusable spaceships for flight however, the ultimate purpose of the mission has largely remained a mystery questions: the unmanned space plane is the second of its kind to be sent up by the us air force but its purpose has never fully been explained finishing touches: scientists in protective suits inspect the solar powered craft prior to its mission the top secret robot plane is expected to land saturday weather and technical issues permitting the x 37bs also serve as orbital test beds for instruments that could be incorporated into future satellites it is not known if it carried anything in its cargo bay, which is about the size of a pickup truck bed the vehicles look like miniature versions of nasa's now retired space shuttle orbiters, with a similar shape and a payload bay for cargo and experiments they are 89 metres long, compared to the shuttle's 37 metre length, and have a wingspan of 45 metres, compared to the shuttle's wingspan of 237 meters the solar operated vehicles were designed to stay in orbit for up to 270 days otv 2 surpassed that milestone by 199 days keeping watch: an artist's rendition of the x 37b shuttle orbiting the earth the x 37b due to fly this fall is the vehicle that inaugurated the program in 2010,' however, many skeptics think that the vehicle's mission is defence or spy related there are rumours circulating that the craft was kept in space longer than initially intended to spy on the new chinese space station, tiangong however, analysts have pointed out that surveillance would be tricky, since the spacecraft would rush past each other at thousands of metres per second and brian weeden, from the secure world foundation, pointed out to the bbc: ‘if the us really wanted to observe tiangong, it has enough assets to do that without using x 37b’ lift off: the x 37b sits on top of an atlas v rocket as it's launched at cape canaveral air force station in florida in 2010 ready for launch: the x 37b rocket in florida before it blasted off into space mystery: scientists work on a prototype for the rocket prior to its launch last may, amateur astronomers were able to detect the orbital pattern of the first x 37b which included flyovers of north korea, iraq, iran, pakistan and afghanistan, heightening the suspicion that the vehicle was being used for surveillance other industry analysts have speculated that the air force is just making use of the x 37b’s amazing fuel efficiency and keeping it in space for as long as possible to show off its credentials and protect it from budget cuts after all, under budget cuts for 2013 to 2017 proposed by the obama administration, the office that developed the x 37 will be shut down according to x 37b manufacturer boeing, the space plane operates in low earth orbit, between 110 and 500 miles above earth by comparison, the international space station orbits at about 220 miles watch video here

in most communities around the world, goddesses are symbolic of a spiritual world but in nepal, these sacred females live and breathe handpicked from birth, these pre pubescent girls are known as kumaris and are believed to be incarnations of the hindu goddess of power, kali from the moment they are chosen for their role, and pass a rigorous 32 stage test, these living goddesses are propelled to immortal like status, deemed to be protectors from evil by thousands of adoring hindus and buddhists but for these girls, it is not just a name and status that they are given their whole life

as the subject of worship these kumaris are even considered too special to walk, instead being carried in chariots, thrones and other people's arms sometimes meaning they do not learn to walk until they retire and the girls are banned from going to school or taking part in day to day society, only appearing outside their homes or temples up to 13 times a year but once they reach puberty, everything changes for these kumaris after menstruation starts, the girls are put through a 12 day 'gufa' ritual, after which their life as a kumari ends and they return to an ordinary life that they have never known kumaris are chosen as infants in nepal to become living goddesses, who are then worshipped by thousands of hindus and buddhists until they reach puberty  here, one kumari, samita bajracharya, is worshipped by a devotee at a festival during one of her nine public appearances throughout the year once the kumaris start menstruating, they retire from their goddess like status

outside of her residence during different jatras nine times a year kumaris, which means virgin in nepalese, are carried their entire lives because they are considered too special for their feet to touch the ground samita bajracharya, shown here with her family in kathmandu, nepal, was so accustomed to be carried that she could not walk properly after she retired once she retired, samita bajracharya was able to go back to everyday life she started playing an indian classic music instrument called sarod in her room in patan, nepal, although it took several months for her to be able to find the confidence to interact samita bajracharya looks ahead as her mother loosens her hair, to mark the end of her 12 day 'gufa' ritual at bagmati river in patan, nepal purna shova bajracharya and her daughter cover samita bajracharya's face with a cloth as she is brought outside wearing a traditional wedding dress to worship the sun during the 'gufa' ceremony after the gufa, kumari samita bajracharya's life with her father kul ratna bajracharya, left, mother purna shova, far right, and elder brother sabin, right, will revert to the life of any other ordinary young girl a life she has never known during her time as a kumari, samita bajrachary could not go to school as she was not allowed to be seen in public here, she is tutored by a teacher from st xavior school at her home in patan, nepal, a school which provides a full scholarship to educate the living goddess during her reign the kumaris spend their public appearances sitting in front of devotees or their offering this ceremony was a special puja at kumari ghar in patan, nepal after becoming a kumari, samita was restricted from going out from her residence, only appearing outside when she was required for worship during the year, the kumaris are placed on traditional thrones as worshippers take part in festivals to pay their respects to the living goddesses after life as a kumari stopped, she was able to play with her friends and attend school she had to pass a 32 stage test before she was permitted to be a kumari kumaris are painted in traditional artwork before they are worshipped at different events and processions throughout the year during the 12 day 'gufa' ceremony, the kumari will be kept in a closed room, where female friends and relatives are allowed to visit, as shown above the kumaris are carried by their families to the different ceremonies but are never allowed to walk themselves often leading to them having weak legs when they retire samita bajracharya, a kumari, is shown sitting on the traditional throne as she waits for visitors during a traditional matya festival kumari samita bajracharya is dressed in traditional attire for her appearances and is often dressed by her family

the security system at vice president joe biden's delaware private residence malfunctioned so badly late last year that secret service agents had to shut it off what's more, saturday's shooting outside the new castle county estate, when a motorist unloaded several rounds before speeding away, wasn't caught on camera because there wasn't one trained on the road, the washington post reports despite the gaps in his home's security and the embattled state of affairs within the secret service ranks vice president biden said he's not concerned about his family's safety revealed: the security system at vice president joe biden's private residence in delaware malfunctioned so badly last year that it was shut off for months prior to servicing, it was revealed tuesday scary: news of the faulty security system comes just days after a motorist drove by the vice president's home over the weekend and unloaded several rounds from a firearm biden tells cbs this morning on wednesday his house is way off the road, and that there was no evidence that someone shot at the house biden says it appears someone fired from the passenger side of the vehicle, and his house is on the driver's side he said, 'i'm not at all worried' biden quipped that he doesn't think anyone's trying to get him — 'at least not physically' the washington post's report on tuesday nonetheless reveals some potentially gaping cracks in the mansion's security perimeter 'i'm not at all worried': biden said on wednesday that he's not concerned about the security at his home changes? following the shooting, it was revealed that no security cameras were pointed toward the road at biden's home the secret service is now looking into installing additional cameras after they failed to catch the gun toting motorist on camera the home's security system was shut off for months because of false alarms and unreliable data, a source told the post while the system was repaired in november, this weekend's incident has led to the secret service to propose adding more cameras in order to cover a broader area outside the home secret service spokesman edwin donovan did not provide any details on potential upgrades 'as a practice the secret service does not discuss the condition, number or locations of cameras and alarms at facilities we protect since this is the type of information our adversaries desire,' donovan told the post 'on the night of the incident in delaware, the appropriate security measures were in place and fully functioning' shakeup: the incident at biden's home came as a major shakeup was taking place within the ranks of the embattled secret service four of the highest ranking secret service executives have been reassigned following a series of security mishaps and scathing reports questioning leadership within the agency, the secret service said last week secret service director joseph clancy recently said 'change is necessary' within his agency the agency's assistant directors for investigations, protective operations, technology and public affairs have all been reassigned within the secret service acting director joseph p clancy said in a statement that he was making leadership changes based on a december report from an independent panel that described the agency as 'insular' and 'starved for leadership' 'change is necessary to gain a fresh perspective on how we conduct business,' clancy said 'i am certain any of our senior executives will be productive and valued assets either in other positions at the secret service or the department' the four officials are: dale pupillo, who led protective operations; paul morrissey, who oversaw the agency's investigative mission; jane murphy, who was governmental and public affairs chief; and mark copanzzi, who headed up technology and the tools for mission support details of their new posts were not released wednesday the reassignments are the biggest shift in secret service leadership since former director julia pierson was forced to resign last year her ouster came after a texas man armed with a knife was able to get over a white house fence and run deep into the executive mansion before being subdued and details of a previous presidential security breach were disclosed former secret service director julia pierson was forced to resign last year after a crazed texas man armed with a knife was able to get deep into the white house the washington post first reported the staff shakeup last week the independent panel, which investigated the agency's leadership and practices in the wake of the september incident and the disclosure of a previously unreported security breach earlier that month, also recommended hiring a new director from outside the agency a permanent director has not been named that report was the second critical review of the agency responsible for protecting the president in november the homeland security department, which oversees the secret service, released an internal investigation about the fence scaling incident, which concluded that poor training, staff and a series of missteps led to the breach homeland security investigators found, among other things, that uniformed agents patrolling the white house grounds the night of sept 19 mistakenly assumed that thick bushes near the mansion's front door would stop the intruder

bill and hillary clinton have been using a legal but dodgy tax loophole to evade the so called 'death tax' that they both worked to raise, according to news reports published on tuesday despite hillary's frequent insistence that she has middle class roots and identifies with ordinary americans, she and her husband the former president have amassed a fortune likely valued in the tens of millions of dollars in order to shield that wealth from the federal government's rapacious tax collectors at the irs, they are using a financial planning strategy to shift ownership of their houses to a private trust, and then to their daughter chelsea this leaves the power couple free to reap the tax advantage of making such a generous gift before they die, while they rent the property back from her at a bargain price scroll down for videos the former secretary of state is promoting her book 'hard choices' while trying to construct an image that resonates with middle class americans: news of her net worth and tax avoidance techniques will be bad 'optics' tax dodge road map for the 1 per cent: hillary clinton now a new impediment to her handlers' goal of positioning her as an everywoman in advance of the 2016 presidential campaign the scheme, now common among america's famed '1 per cent,' will put any increases in the properties' value – so called capital gains – outside of their estates, and therefore out of the irs's reach when they die it will also exclude most of the homes' values from the irs's calculation that will determine how much of their estates is taxable bloomberg news examined the clintons' financial disclosure statements and reported tuesday that the couple made the move in 2010 in their political lives, both clintons have advocated for narrowing the loophole that they are now leveraging in august 2000, shortly before he left office, bill clinton vetoed a congressional bill that would have eliminated the estate tax he insisted that congress should 'proceed on grounds of fiscal responsibility and fairness' instead hillary has been more direct, arguing during the 2008 presidential campaign season for a change in federal law that would expose more of wealthy americans' estates to the tax man bloomberg tv's al hunt rapped the quasi populist clintons on tuesday – not for dodging taxes, but for being tone deaf to the image it projects to ordinary americans 'voters may have a problem with a potential presidential candidate who spends a lot of time talking about the problems of the middle class while hobnobbing with the 'rich and privileged',' hunt said 'it's part of a larger problem that i think she has i don't think there's any ethical problem here i think the optics are terrible, though' 'i think once you put that together with hillary giving speeches for $200,000 to goldman sachs, people start to say, 'wait a minute: is she one of us or not?'' beneficiary: chelsea clinton and her children will become ultra wealthy and pay little in estate tax when her parents are deceased, thanks to a loophole that bill and hillary fought to eliminate man of the people: former president bill clinton and his wife are worth between $5 and $50 millionthe exact amount is unclear because the federal government allows politicians to disclose their finances in broad ranges of dollar amounts federal estate taxes currently apply only to amounts over $534 million mrs clinton proposed lowering that cap to $35 million she also argued that the top tax rate, paid only by the super wealthy, should increase from 40 to 45 per cent president obama has acquiesced to congress, however, increasing the exemption amount to its current level and leaving rates alone hillary clinton's 2007 position, that a high estate tax keeps america from becoming 'dominated by inherited wealth,' is ringing hollow in 2014, however after a guffaw inducing gaffe in which she claimed she and president clinton were 'dead broke' when they left the white house, her finances have been thrust into the national spotlight they both have raked in $200,000 or more per paid speech, and hillary received a reported $14 million book advance deal for her recent tome 'hard choices,' which has sold poorly the power couple have a net worth between $5 and $50 million the exact amount is unclear because the federal government allows politicians to disclose their finances in broad ranges of dollar amounts the republican party is running a 30 second ad tuesday on cnn during a broadcast town hall with hillary clinton the ad focuses on her wealth

first time to aid the opposition 'with all forms of political and material support' to overthrow assad and british foreign secretary william hague said plans to send a joint un and league peacekeeping force in to syria, once assad stops his crackdown, must be discussed 'urgently' at yesterday's meeting in cairo, arab league foreign ministers vowed to aid the opposition battling to overthrow assad

horrific: the images show the human cost of president bashar assad's ongoing brutal military crackdown against opposition it is seen as a remarkable statement from a body, which has turned against assad because of its resentment of his ties to iran, which was once known for keeping out of the internal affairs of its members it is not clear whether its proposed joint un arab peacekeeping force would involve armed troops, or whether the aid offered to the opposition would include weapons if so, it would be the second time in less than a year the arab league had called for outside

providing the assad regime ends the violence against civilians, withdraws its forces from towns and cities and establishes a credible ceasefire' he added that 'significant steps' were taken at the meeting to increase the 'diplomatic and economic isolation' faced by the syrian regime attack: syrian forces today continued to rain bombs on the city of homs as president assad continues his crackdown on opposition plea: a young girl, holding her doll, tells the world what she thinks of president bashar assad during a demonstration yesterday opposition: armed free syrian army (fsa)

financial support to opposition leaders in syria the group will meet again on february 24 mr hague added: 'president assad must be in no doubt of the determination of his neighbours and the international community to bring an end to the violence in syria 'the arab league could not have sent a clearer message to syria than the one it sent yesterday and we look forward to working closely with them in the coming days and weeks' and he added today that any peacekeeping troops in syria should come from non western countries he said: 'i don’t see the way forward in syria as being western boots on the ground in any form, including in any peacekeeping form 'i think they would need to come from other countries, rather than western nations of course, if such a concept can be made viable,

homegrown talents alan shearer and andy cole, to foreign imports tony yeboah and thierry henry in this international week, we are begging for goals, and these lot put the ball in the back of the net and make it look easy here, sportsmail runs you through nos 40 31 of the best strikers to have ever graced the premier league do you agree? 40 darren bent (ipswich town, charlton athletic, tottenham, sunderland, aston villa, fulham) powerful and prolific, bent proved he had all the attributes needed to lead an attack at a number of premier league clubs and, for a time, england too he proved himself with three free scoring seasons in the second tier with ipswich and it was a matter of time before he was snapped up by a premier league side that team was charlton and bent proved his worth with goals in his first four games for the club and 31 overall tottenham believed in his potential and splashed out a club record £165million in 2007 but he moved on to sunderland after two seasons twenty four goals in the 2009 10 season reaffirmed his class bent then joined villa for another big transfer fee though his best could never be recaptured in all, he has 106 premier league goals darren bent proved his worth at charlton athletic with goals in his first four games for the club and 31 overall tottenham believed in his potential and splashed out a club record £165million in 2007, but he then moved on to sunderland 39 eidur gudjohnsen (chelsea, tottenham, stoke city, fulham) the 'ice man' is fondly remembered by chelsea fans for his goalscoring exploits in the years immediately before roman abramovich arrived signed by gianluca vialli for £4m from bolton in 2000, he soon formed a potent strike partnership with jimmy floyd hasselbaink at stamford bridge his first campaign saw him score 10 and set up many more for the dutchman as well as 54 goals for chelsea, gudjohnsen also contributed 60 assists, underlining his all round ability his best was probably that overhead kick against leeds united in 2002 2003 his worth was also shown by the fact jose mourinho continued to play him for some time ahead of expensive acquisitions adrian mutu, didier drogba and hernan crespo eidur gudjohnsen is fondly remembered by chelsea fans for his goalscoring exploits after being signed for £4m by gianluca vialli in 2000 the iceland striker scores the first goal of the jose mourinho era, beating tim howard to seal a 1 0 win over manchester united 38 niall quinn (manchester city, sunderland) quinn was already an established first divison player with arsenal and manchester city before enjoying his profitable time at sunderland around the turn of the millennium he was signed for a club record £13m in august 1996 and helped them return and then establish themselves in the top flight, forming a deadly strike partnership with kevin phillips standing 6ft 4in tall, quinn was the perfect target man and his many flick ons and knock downs helped phillips profit a true club legend, the irishman also served as chairman and, briefly, manager niall quinn was already an established first divison player with arsenal and man city before enjoying his profitable time at sunderland quinn scores one of his most memorable goals against newcastle in sunderland's first season back in the premier league in 1999 37 craig bellamy (coventry city, newcastle united, blackburn rovers, liverpool, west ham, manchester city, cardiff city) the welsh goal grabber forged a successful career in the premier league and couldn’t be faulted on his record despite some controversial moments he first shot to prominence at norwich before coventry acquired him for a club record fee of £6m in 2000, but it wasn’t the happiest period as they suffered relegation newcastle rescued his top flight ambitions but his time in the north east was overshadowed by fallings out and he scored just 28 goals in four seasons his most successful spell was his one season at blackburn with 13 league goals, the greatest moment arguably his double at old trafford for man city in september 2009 craig bellamy first shot to prominence at norwich before coventry acquired him for a club record fee of £6m in 2000 bellamy's trademark was speed and finishing, and here he scores for newcastle against west ham in january 2003 36 emmanuel adebayor (arsenal, manchester city, tottenham) togolese tower adebayor was brought to arsenal from ligue 1 for £3m in 2006 and proved his worth with the winning goal at old trafford and two strikes against tottenham in the derby the following season his stunning volleyed second in that game won goal of the season he joined moneyed machester city for £25m in 2009, running the full length of the field to celebrate in front of the arsenal fans after scoring against them at the etihad the arrivals of carlos tevez, mario balotelli and edin dzeko forced him out but profitable loan spells at real madrid and tottenham led to his joining the north london club permanently he has 35 league goals in total for spurs emmanuel adebayor scored 46 premier league goals for arsenal before his move to manchester city in 2009 the togolose striker is seen here scoring for manchester city and celebrating in front of the arsenal fans, much to their anger 35 ole gunnar solskjaer (manchester united) the master of the late sucker punch, norwegian import solskjaer was the ultimate ‘super sub’ while there were no goals more famous than his stoppage time winning for manchester united in the 1999 champions league final, he did contribute a total of 91 in the premier league during his time at the club, many late on he famously netted four after coming on in an 8 1 thrashing of nottingham forest in 1999 and he returned 17 goals in 2001 02 solskjaer suffered a torrid time with injuries during his later old trafford career but that outstretched leg in barcelona, securing united’s unprecedented treble triumph, ensured he will forever remain a club legend ole gunnar solskjaer is a legend at manchester united, and here he nets against bitter rivals liverpool in 2000 solskjaer, the baby faced assassin contributed a total of 91 premier league goals, including this one at charlton in 2002 34 duncan ferguson (everton, newcastle united) towering and uncompromising scot who could be almost impossible to keep track of in the box, ‘big dunc’ ferguson was and remains a popular figure at everton he moved to merseyside from rangers in 1994 but it took a little time to find his best form he enjoyed two excellent seasons between 1996 and 1998, earning affection from the goodison park faithful for his commitments and combative performances injuries ruined his chances after moving to newcastle and he returned to everton after just two seasons on tyneside he would play six more seasons and is the highest scoring scot in the premier league duncan ferguson is the highest scoring scot in premier league history and here (right) heads in for everton against leeds in 1998 ferguson had a fiery side and (left) throttles steffen freund in 2004 and (right) in a scrap with liverpool's jason mcateer in 1997 33 mark hughes (manchester united, chelsea, southampton, everton, blackburn rovers) one of the finest british strikers of the modern era, hughes was well established as a prolific scorer at manchester united by the time the premier league started in 1992 ‘sparky’ helped united end their long title drought with 28 goals in the first two seasons of the new competition, both won by united the welshman scored a memorable goal in united’s 1994 fa cup semi final with oldham and also netted in the final, a 4 0 win over chelsea, the club he would unexpectedly join in 1995 despite many believing his best days were behind him, hughes formed an effective strike partnership with gianfranco zola, scoring 25 league goals for the london club and winning the fa cup, league cup and european cup winners’ cup mark hughes (left) helped manchester united to two titles and scored 28 pl goals here he volleys in against arsenal in 1995 hughes, seen here in action for chelsea, also played for southampton, everton and blackburn rovers in the premier league 32 jermain defoe (west ham, tottenham, portsmouth) speedy and nerveless in front of goal, defoe reached 124 premier league goals for his three clubs and also scored 19 in 55 appearances for england his 2004 departure from west ham, for whom he scored 18 times in the top flight drew some criticism but he shrugged it off to perform very well in his initial five seasons with tottenham following a £6m move though lots of his appearances came as a substitute, defoe still managed 43 goals before spending two years at portsmouth spurs wanted him back and paid considerably more than what they sold him for the 2009 10 campaign featured many highlights, including an overhead kick against manchester united and a five goal haul in a 9 1 thrashing of wigan in all, he scored 47 premier league goals during his second spell at white hart lane jermain defoe celebrates scoring for west ham; the englishman has 124 premier league goals for three clubs in total defoe scored 90 premier league goals during his two spells at white hart lane; here is his fourth of five against wigan in 2009 31 dion dublin (manchester united, coventry city, aston villa) dublin had made his name as a free scoring striker for cambridge united, prompting manchester united to sign him right at the start of the premier league era but his opportunities were limited by injury and the excellence of eric cantona and a move to coventry in 1994 proved the making of him he scored 13 in his first season at highfield road, followed by 14, 14 and a career high 18 this came in 1997 98, as dublin shared the top scorer award with michael owen and chris sutton having failed to break into the england side, dublin moved to villa for £575m in 1998, scoring seven goals in his first three games a broken neck, suffered in december 1999, set him back though dublin did go on to represent leicester, celtic and norwich dion dublin scored 13 in his first season at highfield road, followed by 14, 14 and a career high 18 in the 1997 98 campaign dublin moved to villa for £575m in 1998, scoring seven goals in his first three games, including this double against arsenal

‘those people might otherwise be unemployed and why should the people who work for us lose their jobs because of some political thing the russians are doing? ‘we feed them and pay for all their travel we’re good employers hopefully they will all come in under the £10,000 a week budget’ mr pugachev started high court action today against the order, which was brought in at the request of russian financial investigators mr pugachev once called the ‘kremlin’s banker’ insists the investigation into the collapse of his former bank is politically motivated despite once looking after the money of president vladimir putin’s inner circle, he fell out of favour in 2010 and was eventually forced to flee the country he launched a bid to overturn the freezing order today in a high court case which is expected to last six days the russian dia dispute his claims that the investigation is a campaign ordered by the kremlin and insist mezprombank was given ample opportunity to pay russian authorities it issued a statement saying: 'the dia believes that it has strong claims against mr pugachev, who is accused of extracting very significant sums (in excess of us$ 2 billion) from mezhdunarodny promyshlenniy bank cjsc to the detriment of its creditors 'the dia will contend that the freezing injunction was rightly granted and should be maintained 'also, the dia rejects mr pugachev's allegations, which have been widely reported in the media, that the proceedings are politically motivated and that it is an untrustworthy or corrupt organisation 'the dia takes its responsibilities very seriously and believes that it is in the best interests of the bank's creditors to pursue the litigation against mr pugachev “in relation to mr pugachev's challenge to the jurisdiction of the english court, the dia brought proceedings against mr pugachev in england because until recently he had not engaged in any way in the russian proceedings and also because he permanently resides in england 'provided that sv pugachev formally submits to the jurisdiction of the russian court and defends the case on the merits, the dia is prepared to agree, subject to certain conditions, that the claim in russia should go ahead first 'what is most important is that mr pugachev faces justice, whether in england or in russia, and that any judgment ultimately obtained by the dia can be enforced against mr pugachev's assets outside russia'

you took pleasure in degrading meabusing me and returning me to my home with a story so my parents didn’t become suspicious so they would be fooled their daughter was in safe hands and not those of a paedophile ‘you made my life a living hell i had no one to turn to you were very clever an a+ in grooming children how proud you must be’ on seeing the letter, miss westwood urged clifford to go to the police, but instead he kept the letter by his bed like a trophy watch the full interview from itv's this morning here upset: in her first interview she said that clifford had a bin liner of pornography he was 'proud' of and also bragged: ‘i just used to be able to get women to do whatever i wanted’ she recalled: ‘he came home from work one day and said that he’d received this letter he showed me the letter and i was horrified i said, “well, i think you should go to the police”, and he said, “no i’m not going to the police” ‘i said, “what are you going to do?”, and he said, “tear it up and put it in the bin where it belongs” ‘i thought that’s what he’d done with it and then a little while later when i was going through the drawers i found the letter and i felt so uncomfortable about it i took a copy, because at that time i was going to leave him anyway, and this was just more evidence of some of the things i was having to put up with ‘i just feel desperately sorry for this person’ after clifford’s case passed through westminster magistrates’ court in london, miss westwood refused to attend his trial at southwark crown court in may she said: ‘i had thought seriously about going because i knew it would be better for him if i was there ‘i just thought he’s just showing me no respect at all, and in the end i just thought i can see what you’re gaining from this, but actually i’m not gaining anything, other than trying to be a kind person and standing by you ‘i was in a terrible state i wasn’t eating, i wasn’t sleeping it was a horrid time ‘my mind was all over the place one day i would think he’s going to walk away, he’s going to get off with this, another time i was thinking the evidence is so strong he can’t possibly so i was very mixed up’ clifford was jailed in may on eight counts of indecent assault between 1977 and 1984 in which he used his celebrity connections to lure women clifford was jailed in may on eight counts of indecent assault between 1977 and 1984 in which he used his celebrity connections to lure women his ex wife said she was shocked by the sentence, which was upheld by appeal judges last week, adding: ‘it was a shock but i expected him to call me because i think he knew i would be left in this media circus, but he didn’t and that was hard’ weeks later, a court granted her a divorce in just 105 seconds for his ‘unreasonable behaviour’, which has caused her stress and heart problems

the moon is tidally locked to earth, which means its near side always points towards our planet until now, researchers have debated why this near side has an abundance of dark features most notable by the 'man on the moon' whereas the far side is much lighter scientists have revealed how the near side's proximity to the scorching young earth weakened it and made it more susceptible to asteroid impacts that caused features like this to form the reason the moon has dark patches on the near side (pictured) that are not seen on the other side is likely due to its formation the moon was once up to 20 times closer to earth, and side closest is said to have been weakened by the still hot earth a few billion years ago the dark areas we see on the near side, that resemble a face, appeared when meteoroids struck the earth facing side of the moon and created large flat seas of basalt that we see as dark areas known as maria many researchers believe the moon formed after earth was hit by a planet the size of mars billions of years ago this is called the giant impact hypothesis the hypothesis claims the moon is debris left over following an indirect collision between our planet and an astronomical body approximately 45 billion years ago the colliding body is sometimes called theia, after the mythical greek titan who was the mother of selene, the goddess of the moon no such 'face' exists on the farside of the moon, and now penn state university astrophysicists think they know why 'i remember the first time i saw a globe of the moon as a boy, being struck by how different the farside looks,' said jason wright, assistant professor of astrophysics at the university 'it was all mountains and craters where were the maria? it turns out it's been a mystery since the fifties' this mystery is called the lunar farside highlands problem and dates back to 1959, when the soviet spacecraft luna 3 transmitted the first images of the far side of the moon back to earth neither side of the moon is 'dark' in terms of light though both receive sunlight as the moon completes its orbit and rotation around earth researchers at the time noticed that fewer 'seas' or maria existed on the portion of the moon that always faces away from earth now the scientists, reporting their results in astrophysical journal letters, have realised that the absence of maria, which is due to a difference in crustal thickness between the side of the moon we see and the hidden side, is a consequence of how the moon originally formed the mystery of the moon's varying colours has puzzled astronomers ever since the moon's far side (pictured) was seen for the first time in 1959 this image was taken by the lunar reconnaissance orbiter (lro) in june 2009 the general consensus on the moon's origin is that it probably formed shortly after earth and was the result of a mars sized object hitting earth with a glancing but devastating impact this giant impact hypothesis suggests that the outer layers of earth and the object were flung into space and eventually formed the moon 'shortly after the giant impact, earth and the moon were very hot,' said professor of astrophysics steinn sigurdsson, one of the contributors to the study earth and the impact object did not just melt; parts of them vaporised, creating a disk of rock, magma and vapor around earth 'the moon and earth loomed large in each others skies when they formed,' continued graduate student and lead author of the study arpita roy the geometry was similar to the rocky exoplanets recently discovered very close to their stars, said wright the moon was 10 to 20 times closer to earth than it is now, and the researchers found that it quickly assumed a tidally locked position (where the same side always faces our planet) with the rotation time of the moon equal to the orbital period of the moon around earth the same real estate on the moon has probably always faced earth ever since tidal locking is a product of the gravity of both objects pictured is an artist's illustration of what earth and the moon might have looked like about four billion years ago note how the moon is much larger in the sky as it is up to 20 times closer than it is now, and it's near side is also subjected to the full force of the heat of the scorching young earth the moon, being much smaller than earth, cooled more quickly because earth and the moon were tidally locked from the beginning, the still hot earth more than 2500°c (4,500°f) radiated towards the near side of the moon the far side, away from the boiling earth, slowly cooled, while the earth facing side was kept molten creating a temperature gradient between the two halves this gradient was important for crustal formation on the moon the moon's crust has high concentrations of aluminum and calcium, elements that are very hard to vaporise 'when rock vapor starts to cool, the very first elements that snow out are aluminum and calcium,' said sigurdsson aluminum and calcium would have condensed in the atmosphere of the cold side of the moon because the nearside was still too hot thousands to millions of years later, these elements combined with silicates in the moon's mantle to eventually form the moon's crust and according to the researchers, the farside crust had more of these minerals and is thicker the moon has now completely cooled and is not molten below the surface but earlier in its history, large meteoroids struck the nearside of the moon and punched through the crust, releasing the vast lakes of basaltic lava that formed the nearside maria that make up the man in the moon when meteoroids struck the farside of the moon, in most cases the crust was too thick and no magmatic basalt welled up, creating the dark side of the moon with valleys, craters and highlands, but almost no maria
earth penn state university
penn state university revealed evidence for the moon's varying colour near side is darker than the far side, but no one was sure why until now scientists suggest this change is due to the moon and earth's formation early in its life earth was scorching hot and heated the near side this weakened it and made it more vulnerable to impacts, while the far side formed a thicker crust that was more resilient to meteorites
the spacecraft it is hoped will take man to mars is about to be tested for the first time nasa’s orion spacecraft will take its first flight in december today, staff at the agency's kennedy space center in florida began the final assembly for the test scroll down for video the orion crew module for exploration flight test 1 going through final preparations in december, orion will launch 3,600 miles into space in a four hour flight to test the systems that will be critical for survival in future human missions to deep space orion is being prepared for its first launch later this year, an uncrewed flight that will take it 3,600 miles above earth, in a 45 hour mission to test the systems critical for future human missions to deep space after two orbits, orion will reenter earth’s atmosphere at almost 20,000 miles per hour before its parachute system deploys to slow the spacecraft for a splashdown in the pacific ocean engineers began stacking the crew module on top of the completed service module, the first step in moving the three primary orion elements –crew module, service module and launch abort system – into the correct configuration for launch 'now that we're getting so close to launch, the spacecraft completion work is visible every day,' said mark geyer, nasa's orion program manager 'orion's flight test will provide us with important data that will help us test out systems and further refine the design so we can safely send humans far into the solar system to uncover new scientific discoveries on future missions' with the crew module now in place, the engineers will secure it and make the necessary power connections between to the service module over the course of the week once the bolts and fluid connector between the modules are in place, the stacked spacecraft will undergo electrical, avionic and radio frequency tests the modules are being put together in the final assembly and system testing (fast) cell in the operations and checkout facility at kennedy here, the integrated modules will be put through their final system tests prior to rolling out of the facility for integration with the united launch alliance delta iv heavy rocket that will send it on its mission nasa's orion spacecraft, illustration shown, is due to complete its first unmanned test flight towards the end of this year the spacecraft will eventually be able to take four astronauts on missions lasting at least 21 days, although this could be extended with a service module currently being researched and developed by esa orion is being prepared for its first launch later this year, an uncrewed flight that will take it 3,600 miles above earth, in a 45 hour mission to test the systems critical for future human missions to deep space after two orbits, orion will reenter earth’s atmosphere at almost 20,000 miles per hour before its parachute system deploys to slow the spacecraft for a splashdown in the pacific ocean orion's flight test also will provide important data for the agency’s space launch system (sls) rocket and ocean recovery of orion engineers at nasa’s marshall space flight center in huntsville, alabama, have built an advanced adapter to connect orion to the delta iv heavy rocket that will launch the spacecraft during the december test nasa's space launch system (sls) during launch the first sls mission, exploration mission 1 in 2017, will launch an uncrewed orion spacecraft to demonstrate the integrated system performance of the sls rocket and spacecraft prior to a crewed flight how it compares: the sls is larger than the saturn rockets than launched man to the moon it will also be more powerful than any rocket in operation today russia's super rocket design has yet to be unveiled however construction of the first stage of russia's super rocket capable of lifting 80 tonnes is already underway the adapter also will be used during future sls missions nasa’s ground systems development and operations program, based at kennedy, will recover the orion crew module with the us navy after its splashdown in the pacific ocean earlier this month nasa began ramping up excitement for sending humans to mars, outlining its path to the red planet, and showcasing some of the technologies that will help people get there but as revealed in a 286 page national research council (nrc) report commissioned by the agency, nasa has been warned that its efforts will be doomed to fail if it does not change its methods the scathing assessment claims that without sufficient funding, a clear goal, or help from nations such as china, nasa will not be capable of making the next giant leap for mankind nasa's 'path to mars' graphic sets out the steps needed to send humans to an asteroid and mars by the 2030s according to the nrc's report, pathways to exploration rationales and approaches for a us program of human space exploration, the us should abandon its 'flexible approach' to human missions beyond earth, set mars as its ultimate goal and open the door to partnerships with other partners including china *note: all three options assume iss missions have been concluded option 1 a 'giant leap' from moon to mars return to the moon build a lunar base send humans to the surface of mars option 2 least technological risk send humans into lunar orbit visit an asteroid in its own orbit return to the moon's surface explore martian moons deimos and phobos enter orbit around mars land on the red planet option 3 nasa's current favoured path robotically capture an asteroid place it in lunar orbit for astronauts to visit travel to the moons of mars place humans in martian orbit set foot on mars this flexible approach currently involves the construction of a heavy lift rocket known as the space launch system (sls) and a manned capsule spacecraft called orion both of these are seen as necessities for future missions beyond low earth orbit but as of yet neither has a solid goal beyond a few test flights leading up to 2021 the nrc recommends nasa chooses one of three stepping stone approaches toward mars, that build technological know how through a series of well defined preliminary missions all three options begin with the international space station (iss) the station is seen as vital in testing not only technologies for long term space travel, but also the psychological and biological strains that will be felt by astronauts however, the report claims nasa's current plan of operating the iss into the next decade, possibly as far as 2028, alongside assembling the technologies to land humans on mars is not feasible continuing on this path 'is to invite failure, disillusionment, and the loss of the longstanding international perception that human spaceflight is something the united states does best,' said the nrc in its report two of the options then involve sending humans back to the moon, something not favoured by the obama administration 'i just have to say pretty bluntly here: we’ve been there before,' obama said in 2010 when outlining nasa's space policy for the forthcoming years president obama has repeatedly stated his opposition to returning to the moon (artist's illustration of a cancelled nasa concept shown), saying we have been there before, and should instead look to do new missions such as sending astronauts to an asteroid and ultimately, of course, exploring the surface of mars but these paths would be less technologically daunting, nrc panel co chairman jonathan lunine of cornell university said one suggestion is that nasa could follow the international space station program, which currently costs the united states about £18 billion ($3 billion) a year, with a series of lunar sorties an outpost on the moon and then a mission to mars, according to the report the other moon based option would follow the space station with human missions to an orbit beyond the moon, then to an asteroid in its native orbit, then to the lunar surface, the moons of mars, martian orbit and then to mars itself this would have the most stops en route to mars, but poses the least technological risk because milestones have to be met along the way, claimed the nrc the third path includes nasa's current plan to robotically capture an asteroid, redirect it into a high orbit around the moon and send astronauts there to explore the report suggests that the path should continue with missions to the moons of mars, then on to martian orbit, and finally to the surface of the planet

cancer is as old as the earliest life on earth and may never be completely wiped out, scientists have warned despite billions being invested in countless research projects across the globe, a new study has reached the sobering conclusion: the disease is here to stay the discovery means the disease will be more difficult to cure or treat, because of its highly evolved structure scientists in germany and croatia say the war on cancer, proclaimed in the 1970s, may never be won, as they discover the disease is more evolved that previously thought, cancer cells, pictured it suggests our cells' ability to develop cancer is 'an intrinsic property', that has evolved over millions of years but researchers, at germany's kiel university and the catholic university of croatia, say 'knowing the enemy' will give scientists the best possible chance to fight it the evolutionary biologists have found the first evidence of naturally occurring tumours in two species of hydra simple freshwater animals they say the existence of the disease in the tiny, coral like polyps that first emerged hundreds of millions of years ago, suggests cancer is an inherent part of our evolution professor thomas bosch, who lead the research team, said: 'cancer is as old as multi cellular life on earth and will probably never be completely eradicated' while searching for the origin of the cancer gene the cause of all tumours the team stumbled upon the discovery in hydras, said scientist tomislav domazet lošo he said: 'our data predicted that the first multi cellular animals already had most of the genes, which can cause cancer in humans' the team of researchers found cancer tumours growing in two species of hydra, pictured, simple freshwater animals but they wanted to establish the evidence that these animals can actually suffer tumours the team now believe they have achieved an impressive understanding of the roots of cancer professor bosch said: 'now we have discovered tumour bearing polyps in two different species of hydra, an organism very similar to corals 'this provides proof that tumours indeed exist in primitive and evolutionary old animals' a further discovery was that the invasive nature of the disease also dates back millions of years cancer is set to overtake heart disease and stroke as britain's biggest killer, experts said this week the number of deaths from cardiovascular disease has dropped across the country and most of europe, scientists have found and a 'tipping point' is approaching when deaths from stroke and heart disease will be outnumbered by fatalities due to cancer especially among men the report's co author dr nick townsend, a senior researcher at the british heart foundation, said: 'the reason why cancer has overtaken cardiovascular disease as the main cause of death in these countries is due to the fact that fewer people develop cardiovascular disease and, in those who do, fewer die from it 'this is probably due to improvements in the behavioural risk factors associated with cvd, such as decreases in the number of people smoking tobacco, along with better treatments, including preventive ones, such as the increasing use of statins' if tumour cells are introduced into a healthy organism, they can trigger tumour growth in the hydras, the team found professor bosch added: 'the invasive characteristic of cancer cells is also an evolutionary old feature' in the us alone it is estimated more than $500 billion was invested in cancer research by 2012 the worldwide research has led to improved preventative, diagnostic and treatment methods, which have been proven to yield successes but every second person affected by cancer still succumbs to the disease today professor bosch concluded: 'our study makes it unlikely that the war on cancer proclaimed in the 1970s can ever be won 'cancer cells have deep evolutionary roots any crucial cell in your body can make a mistake you carry a time bomb in your body when you're born 'it can explode early in life, or middle age or later that doesn't mean that, with a patient who develops cancer, there's nothing you can do 'medical technology will allow us at early time points at least in some cases, to successfully treat and clean a patient completely and forever of troublemaking cells 'knowing your enemy from its origins is the best way to fight it, and win many battles,' he added the study was published in the journal nature communications

senator al franken has sent a letter to apple’s chief executive highlighting ‘substantial’ security concerns about fingerprint recognition technology on its iphone 5s the iphone 5s, which went on sale today, includes a fingerprint sensor that lets users touch the phone's home button with their finger to unlock it, rather than enter a passcode apple claims its scanner, known as touch id, is ‘one of the best passwords in the world’ but senator franken said that while a password can be kept a secret and changed if it's hacked, fingerprints are permanent and left on everything a person touches scroll down for video senator al franken (left) has sent a letter to apple's chief executive, tim cook, (right) highlighting what he believes to be 'substantial' security concerns about fingerprint recognition technology on the iphone 5s in a letter to apple chief executive, tim cook, the minnesota democrat asked for more clarity on security questions ‘if someone hacks your password, you can change it – as many times as you want,’ said senator franken, in his letter ‘you can’t change your fingerprints you have only ten of them and you leave them on everything you touch; they are definitely not a secret’ apple claims this kind of technology boosts security for users it added that the fingerprint data is stored on the phone in a place that's inaccessible to other apps and to apple's remote servers apple said the touch id fingerprint sensor is designed to provide 'accurate readings from any angle, so the motion to unlock your device ought to be as automatic as it is now' touch id uses a small touch sensor encased around the home button that scans the layers of skin on a finger users can 'train' their iphone to read and learn their unique fingerprint and when they touch the home button, the phone is unlocked touch id can also be replace an app store password when buying music, apps or books it uses a 'laser cut sapphire crystal' to take a high resolution image scan before the touch id software in ios 7 detemines whether the print belongs to the owner or not all fingerprint information is encrypted and stored securely inside the device's chip the prints are not stored on an apple server, or backed up to icloud senator franken said that, unlike a string of numbers, a fingerprint uniquely identifies its owner ‘let me put it this way,’ he said ‘if hackers get a hold of your thumbprint, they could use it to identify and impersonate you for the rest of your life’ apple is yet to issue an official response to senator franken, but it has published a support document on its website outlining the security features of touch id ‘touch id does not store any images of your fingerprint it stores only a mathematical representation of your fingerprint,’ it said ‘it isn’t possible for your actual fingerprint image to be reverse engineered from this mathematical representation’ ‘your fingerprint data is never accessed by ios or other apps, never stored on apple servers, and never backed up to icloud or anywhere else,’ it added apple recently announced plans to open a mineral plant that uses sapphire based materials apple already uses sapphire crystal in the touch id fingerprint scanner on its iphone 5s, pictured, and to protect the cameras on its latest models rumours now claim apple could use the plant to make strong sapphire glass screens apple's phil schiller, pictured, explained the scanner was secure because prints are saved to the chip, and not online yet security researchers are concerned that prints can be stolen from anywhere even before the new iphone 5s was released, a group of hackers pooled their funds to offer a bounty of over £10,000, bottles of booze and other prizes, for the first person that can crack the iphone 5s’s touch id fingerprint sensors istouchidhackedyetcom, the creation of security researcher nick depetrillo, said it is hoping to help apple identify bugs that it may have missed security engineer charlie miller said it could take fewer than two weeks for a smart hacker to get around the new lock among those getting ready for the hacking contest is david kennedy, a former us marine corps cyber intelligence analyst who did two tours in iraq and now runs his own consulting firm, trustedsec llc kennedy said he needs to examine the new iphone to figure out how to best attempt an attack he said his choices include hacking the software that analyses the fingerprint data, or physically opening up the phone and connecting it to a custom built device that would impersonate apple's fingerprint reader he added that it might be possible to lift a user's fingerprint from elsewhere on the device and somehow make a clone of it the touch id sensor is built into the premium phone's 'home' button and can be used to unlock the phone, as well as pay for shopping and apps automatically effectively replacing the need for a password or pin speaking at the launch event in cupertino, apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing phil schiller said: 'half of smartphone customers do not set up passwords [touch id] is an easier and more fun alternative 'it uses key you have with you everywhere you go your finger' it works by using a small touch sensor encased around the home button that scans the layers of skin on a finger a user can 'train' their iphone to read and learn their unique fingerprint and when they touch the home button, the phone is unlocked touch id can also replace an app store password when buying music, apps or books it uses a 'laser cut sapphire crystal' to take a high res image scan and the touch id software in ios 7 determines whether the print belongs to the owner or not apple said it is designed to provide 'accurate readings from any angle, so the motion to unlock your device ought to be as automatic as it is now' schiller reassured users that touch id is secure by explaining that 'all fingerprint information is encrypted and stored securely inside the device's chip' adding the prints are not stored on an apple server, or backed up to icloud

nicky morgan, the new education secretary, who will announce that toddlers are to be taught 'fundamental british values' children as young as two are at risk of religious extremism and must be taught 'fundamental british values' to combat radicalism, the new education secretary will warn today nicky morgan will urge local authorities to  use new powers to strip funding from nurseries found to promote extremist views also under the proposed rules, nurseries that teach creationism – the rejection of evolutionary theory – as scientific fact will also have their taxpayer funding cut mrs morgan, who replaced michael gove as education  secretary in last month’s cabinet reshuffle, will say: ‘one of the most important roles of the education system is that it should prepare young people for life in modern britain ‘i am clear that public money should not be used to support any school or early years provider that does not support this aim because it seeks to promote ideas and teachings than run counter to fundamental british values ‘there can be no place for extremist views anywhere in the education system the changes we are making today will ensure all early years providers and schools are aligned with the need to protect children from views that are considered extreme’ it is understood the teaching of british values is likely to include ‘challenging negative attitudes and stereotypes’ children will also be taught how to take turns and share and the difference between right and wrong the announcement comes in the wake of the recent ‘trojan horse’ scandal, a hardline muslim plot to take over primary and secondary state schools in birmingham mrs morgan hopes the rules will come into effect in the new year following a consultation in september ofsted will inspect early years providers on promoting of fundamental  british values the proposals are designed to bring nurseries into line with similar tough measures in schools it is the first time the government has warned that toddlers could be at risk from extremist views mrs morgan is said to be worried about the risks of nurseries linked to radical mosques run by islamic hardliners there are also concerns within government that councils need more power to respond if there are allegations of extremist views the announcement follows a consultation on local authority early years funding arrangements operation trojan horse, was an apparent plot by muslim fundamentalists to take over schools in the birmingham city council, pictured, area there are currently no explicit rules that allow local authorities, which provide funding to nurseries that meet ofsted requirements, to stop funding churches or mosques with extremist views however, it is understood there is no concrete intelligence of any individual nurseries needing immediate action a mysterious letter which described ‘operation trojan horse’ – an apparent plot by muslim fundamentalists to take over birmingham’s schools – sparked a series of school inspections in the city it was passed to the council, head teachers, unions and media outlets, sparking four separate investigations purportedly written as a guide for fellow hardliners in bradford, the unsigned and undated letter itself is now viewed as an elaborate hoax however, ofsted found evidence of an ‘organised campaign’ to change the character of some schools, while calling for further investigation of others it inspected 21 schools in the city, concluding a ‘culture of intimidation’ had developed in some five schools were placed in special measures: golden hillock school, nansen primary school and park view academy – all run by the park view educational trust (pvet), as well as oldknow academy and saltley school a sixth, alston primary, was already in special measures takeover plot: park view school in birmingham was at the centre of the allegations the so called trojan horse plot first came to light earlier this year department for education inspectors were ordered into park view school in birmingham along with its sister schools, golden hillock and nansen, after a letter dubbed 'trojan horse' now thought to be a hoax was uncovered it allegedly outlined a plot by muslim hardliners to drive moderate headteachers out of schools whistleblowers at park view have claimed the school is in the hands of a group of extremists who infiltrated the governing body it is alleged girls at the school were forced to sit at the back of the classroom and non muslim pupils forced to teach themselves at the state school the letter prompted separate ongoing investigations by both the department for education (dfe) and ofsted in to the school and several others in the area police, the government and school inspectors are thought to be investigating alleged attempts by radicals to seize control of 20 schools in the city after claims of plot emerged in march the dfe has also appointed its own education commissioner, the former head of the metropolitan police’s counter terrorism unit peter clarke for the investigation yesterday, six schools at the centre of an alleged islamist takeover plot are facing radical reform and even  closure after being officially judged as failing, it emerged last night a three month inquiry has found the birmingham schools did too little to protect children from extremism and female staff were intimidated one of the six, golden hillock, was rated ‘inadequate’ in every criteria a leaked copy of its ofsted report says ‘staff views are polarised’ about leadership and that sex and relationships education has not been delivered properly however, three were today given 'outstanding' or 'good' results by the education watchdog

psychiatrist russ scott and historian ian macfarlane discredited the romantic folklore surrounding the story of ned kelly a queensland psychiatrist and a victorian historian have teamed up to discredit the romantic legend of ned kelly and claim he was a psychopath dr russ scott and ian macfarlane also argue that the australian bushranger, who was hung in 1880 at 25 years of age, never uttered his famous last words 'such is life', in their article which was published in the psychiatry, psychology and law journal instead, scott and macfarlane discuss the idea that the folk hero was a 'pathological liar' and 'violent psychopath' who led a 'parasitic lifestyle' their article, titled ned kelly stock thief, bank robber, murderer psychopath, analyses the mind and behaviour of the outlaw, beginning with his family life in victoria it claims that the early death of kelly's father 'compounded by the absence of opportunity and advancement, would have made it difficult for an even better man, with a stronger sense of self actualisation and internalised pro social values, to have prevailed and prospered' 'in the chaos of an adverse early development which was devoid of nurturing and which lacked the presence of strong, responsible male role models, kelly modelled the social delinquency and disrespect for order and authority of his extended family and their anti social associates 'the crushing poverty, disadvantage and insecurity that his family experienced as poor irish australian selectors, can be speculated to have imbued the young kelly with an angry, defiant disposition and an aggrieved perspective on society and its norms and rules' instead, they discuss the idea that the aussie hero was a 'pathological liar' and 'violent psychopath' who led a 'parasitic lifestyle' the article summarises that kelly had no empathy for others, such as his victims and their families and that that he 'practised at repeatedly claiming to have been wronged' detailing his early crimes, from stealing a calf at 10 years old to his escalation into a full blown outlaw when he was responsible for killing three policemen 1878, the article summarises that kelly had no empathy for others including his victims and their families instead, scott and macfarlane claim that kelly was parasitic in that he 'practised at repeatedly claiming to have been wronged' and thus shifting blame elsewhere they argue that this is evident in the way that he defended killing the three officers as an action of self defence this, in addition to arguments that he often lied and fabricated incidents and the lack of evidence that he had many friendships or intimate relationships, lead the authors to conclude that kelly was undoubtedly a psychopath who was feared rather than loved in his community the article detailed that his early crimes, from stealing a calf at 10 years old, to his escalation into a full blown outlaw when he was responsible for killing three policemen 1878 (pictured) scott and macfarlane wrote in their journal article, that kelly's famous last words 'such is life', were likely to be a myth as the noise from the catholic chaplain and footsteps on the metal floor would have meant his words were inaudible to those watching from the floor below however, perhaps their most devastating claim is that the bushranger never uttered his famous last words 'such is life', or the alternative, 'ah well, i suppose it has come to this' scott and macfarlane write: 'the footsteps and shuffling on the metal floor and the murmured prayers of dean o'hare, the catholic chaplain who accompanied kelly as he was prepared for execution, would have ensured that nothing of what kelly may have said would have been audible to those watching from the floor below in the cavernous prison hall 'the accounts published … are apocryphal'

hook handed hate preacher: abu hamza was jailed for telling his followers that killing non muslims was justified a group of mps who visited hate preacher abu hamza in his jail cell have published his views in an official report members of the home affairs select committee went to high security belmarsh prison to interview the cleric who was jailed after telling his followers that the murder of non muslims was justified 'even if there is no reason' their report on violent radicalism is published today and includes an uncritical summary of hamza's comments he is referred to respectfully throughout as 'mr abu hamza' families of terror attack victims condemned the committee and its chairman, labour mp keith vaz graham foulkes, whose 22 year old son david was murdered in the edgware road bombing on july 7, 2005, said the visit was 'deeply inappropriate' he said: 'i think what they are doing by visiting him in jail is legitimising his claims and his beliefs, which are to kill and maim men and women and to destroy our society 'the worrying thing is that as a result hamza will tell his followers, “look, they are taking me seriously”' douglas murray of the henry jackson society think tank said: 'a substantial number of terrorist attacks at home and abroad have happened because abu hamza and a few others preached hate but he basically blames us in the west for these atrocities 'why a select committee has to grant him an interview and then publish these views is a mystery high security belmarsh prison where hamza is being held and where mps visited to canvass his views 'for a report into homicide you would not go into prison and interview ian huntley and dennis nilsen' until his arrest, hamza preached freely at the finsbury park mosque in north london, turning it into a haven for radical islamists experts say his firebrand sermons influenced those behind numerous terror attacks around the world, including three of the july 7 bombers hamza was jailed for 11 years in 2006 for inciting murder and racial hatred after a jury heard that as well as advocating the murder of non muslims, he heaped praise on child suicide bombers and said the holocaust and hitler were sent from god to punish jewish people the judge said hamza commended and encouraged suicide bombing and urged his followers to 'kill in the cause you set out for them' the committee, whose members include labour, tory and lib dem mps, spent around half an hour with hamza in belmarsh last november, and interviewed other muslim prisoners a summary of hamza's views is included in an annexe to the mps' report entitled 'the roots of violent radicalisation' it states: 'abu hamza believed the drivers of radicalisation to be grievance, guilt and capability grievances were driven by british foreign policy (relating to palestine and afghanistan) and a sense that the prophet was being mocked' keith vaz's committee was criticised by families of terror attacks such as graham foulkes, father of david (right) who was killed in the edgware road bombing on july 7 the report repeats, without comment, hamza's denial that his sermons contributed to radicalisation, and his claim that he was against 'the wrong kind of violence' where third parties were injured or killed there is only a brief mention of his convictions hamza has been accused of continuing to preach from his prison cell via piping in the wall prison staff told the mps the cleric still had 'influence' over other inmates in the high security unit it says: 'in terms of radicalisation in prisons, mr abu hamza noted that prisons were a good environment for contemplation and that it was usual for prisoners to seek to re evaluate their lives' the report published today says that al qaeda is trying to recruit women as suicide bombers in britain via extremist websites although the 7/7 attackers were home grown extremists, there has never been a female suicide bomber from the british mainland jailed: extremist roshonara choudhry, 21, who attempted to stab to death labour mp stephen timms sana'a mehaidli, a syrian who killed herself in lebanon in 1985, is the first woman on record to blow herself up in an act of terror however, officials believe it is only a matter of time before a british born women commits such an atrocity female extremist roshonara choudhry, 21, was jailed for life in november 2010 for attempting to stab to death labour mp stephen timms in his constituency she had been radicalised online however, the report says the internet is now the main way of recruiting terrorists as hate preachers have been driven underground 'more resources need to be directed to these threats and to preventing radicalisation through the internet and in private spaces,' committee chairman keith vaz said 'these are the fertile breeding grounds for terrorism' attempts to launch a crackdown on extremist websites are likely to meet an angry backlash amid fears of creeping web censorship internet service providers have also complained that they will struggle to grapple with the sheer quantity of material last week, prosecutors said four islamists, who admitted plotting to bomb the london stock exchange, had been inspired by the online propaganda of anwar al awlaki, a us citizen linked to al qaeda's yemeni branch who was killed last year in a cia drone strike woolwich crown court was told how the group had also planned to target london mayor boris johnson the report concludes that violent radicalism is declining within britain's muslim community it urges ministers to combat 'perceptions of islamophobia' in britain and 'demonstrate that the british state is not antithetical to islam', and calls on internet providers to monitor radical sites more closely it is thought hamza has cost british taxpayers at least £35million in legal fees, nhs bills, benefits and prison costs since his arrival three decades ago he has used a prosthetic arm since losing both arms and an eye in an explosion in afghanistan, and his cell has been fitted with £650 taps which he can operate with his hook he is fighting extradition to the united states on terror charges last night mr vaz said: 'in the past belmarsh prison has been criticised for not tackling the issue of radicalisation effectively 'what we saw was that great strides had been made by the staff to ensure that those who may influence vulnerable people were completely isolated and monitored carefully'

more armed police will patrol britain’s streets to counter the threat posed by fanatics returning from iraq and syria, david cameron announced yesterday he warned that the return of hundreds of murderous extremists posed a greater threat to our security than al qaeda or the ira ever did his comments came as theresa may announced the official terror threat level had been raised to ‘severe’ – the second highest state – for the first time in three years scroll down for video david cameron today warned that islamist terrorists cannot be 'appeased' and need to be faced down mr cameron said isis was more dangerous than the taliban and al qaeda because it was trying to set up its own 'terrorist state' mr cameron said the public could expect to see an increase in high profile police patrols, including the greater use of armed officers, particularly at airports and major railway stations he called for the public to be vigilant but added they should not panic, saying britain had shown ‘resolve’ in the face of terror before he also pledged to introduce ‘uncompromising’ new laws to plug ‘gaps in our armoury’ in dealing with the threat posed by islamic state extremists, including enhanced powers to remove the passports of radicalised muslims seeking to join the fighting in the middle east proposals to remove the passports of extremists who have already gone abroad are also being examined the home secretary said the intelligence services now believe a terror attack in britain is ‘highly likely’, although she stressed there was no information about any specific plot ‘the increase in the threat level is related to developments in syria and iraq where terrorist groups are planning attacks against the west,’ mrs may said ‘some of those plots are likely to involve foreign fighters who have travelled there from the uk and europe to take part in those conflicts’ british intelligence officers believe at least 500 british citizens have travelled to syria and iraq to wage jihad, of which about half have returned to this country some experts believe the true figure may be far higher mr cameron gave few details of the planned crackdown to combat this threat, which will be revealed to mps on monday nick clegg was under intense pressure last night to cease his opposition to new terror laws liberal democrat sources  insisted mr clegg had not ruled out beefing up powers to keep the public safe but they warned he would not allow ‘civil liberties’ to be trampled on a source said: ‘nick takes the terror threat very seriously he welcomes the prime minister’s rejection of a knee jerk response and will look calmly at any new proposals’ the two men are said to have discussed the outline of the proposals and will try to thrash out the details this weekend, before unveiling them when parliament returns on monday there was speculation at westminster that mr cameron’s dramatic statement yesterday was designed partly to bounce mr clegg into dropping his opposition mr clegg has repeatedly acted as a roadblock to the introduction of tough new measures designed to keep the public safe he has argued that many of the measures supported by the security services are illiberal and disproportionate the lib dem leader has boasted of blocking the so called ‘snoopers’ charter’, which would allow the security services to gather details of every email and phone call that is despite warnings from the police and intelligence services that it is needed to keep track of suspects mr cameron's statement today came after the home secretary theresa may said an attack on the uk was 'highly likely' critical an attack is expected imminently severe an attack is highly likely substantial an attack is a strong possibility moderate an attack is possible but not likely low an attack is unlikely he insisted he would not introduce ‘knee jerk’ measures in response to the threat but he said existing powers to strip radicalised muslims of their passports will be beefed up, to prevent more travelling to the region to fight rules introduced last year have so far resulted in the removal of just 23 passports the prime minister said he also wanted to see more action to prevent extremists returning from the region however, he gave few details, saying only that police needed powers to deal ‘decisively’ with those who have returned experts speculated that this will mean strengthening terrorism prevention and investigation measures (tpims), designed to make it easier for police to keep tabs on terror suspects critics say the measures, introduced after draconian control orders were thrown out by the courts, are too weak to be effective mr cameron is considering whether to add a requirement for suspects to remain at a known address tpim subjects could even be ordered to attend de radicalisation sessions ministers are also examining whether to revive plans for the so called snoopers’ charter, which would allow the intelligence services to log details of every phone call and email, despite opposition from civil liberties campaigners and nick clegg scotland yard chief bernard hogan howe earlier this week claimed the 'drum beat' of terror had increased in addition, mr cameron is pushing for new eu laws to require countries to share air passenger data, to make it easier to track and intercept suspected extremists heading for syria the prime minister told a press conference in downing street that britain is facing a ‘generational battle’ against ‘poisonous’ islamist extremists which is likely to last for decades he said is was unlike any previous terrorist threat because it had effectively established a state from which it could eventually mount attacks on the west ‘in afghanistan the taliban were prepared to play host to al qaeda, the terrorist organisation with [is] we are facing a terrorist organisation not being hosted in a country but seeking to establish and then violently expand its own terrorist state ‘with designs on expanding up to the turkish border, we could be facing a terrorist state on the shores of the mediterranean and bordering a nato member’ despite this warning, he played down the prospect of joining the us in direct military action the british government brought in a new warning system to alert the public to the threat posed by al qaida and other terror groups in the wake of the july 7 terror atrocity when it was first published on august 1, 2006, the threat stood at severe the second highest level but just over a week later, on august 10, the threat was raised to critical after police exposed a plot to manufacture and smuggle parts of explosives on to passenger jets flying between the uk and the us, and detonate them on board counter terrorism police smashed the terror ring, arresting its members in a raid codenamed operation overt, and on august 13 the threat level was lowered to severe, where it stayed for around a year britain was plunged into a fresh state of heightened alert and the terror threat was raised to critical on june 30, 2007, after a blazing car loaded with propane canisters was driven into a crowded glasgow airport the attack came just one day after two bombs were discovered in cars in london's park lane and piccadilly among the capital's busiest tourist spots police quickly arrested muslim extremist bilal abdullah, a man behind the two attempted attacks and on july 4 2007 the threat level was lowered to severe, where it stood for two years before being lowered again on july 20 2009 to substantial but the perils of terrorism came to the forefront again when on christmas day 2009 the now notorious underwear bomber umar farouk abdulmutallab tried to blow up a jumbo jet as it flew to detroit in the us tragedy was only averted when brave passengers overpowered the nigerian, and terror chiefs decided to raise the british threat level on january 22, 2010, to severe it stood at severe for 18 months before being lowered on july 11 2011 to substantial, where it stood for three years today home secretary teresa may announced the terror threat is again being raised to severe in the wake of warnings of the deadly threat posed by british jihadists radicalised fighting for islamic state extremists in syria and iraq the level is set by the joint terrorism analysis centre and the security service, which operates

a daring aviator today began the world's first ever attempt to cross the atlantic ocean dangling precariously from a massive cluster of helium filled balloons jonathan trappe, 39, did not allow heavy fog to put him off his nail biting journey on thursday morning and achieved lift off at 620am from caribou, maine like a fairytale from the disney movie 'up', the north carolina man will attempt to make the 2,500 mile solo trip to europe relying on 370 colorful balloons filled with helium it is a feat that has never been attempted before, but mr trappe has not allowed that or the fact that five people have died trying to cross the atlantic in conventional hot air balloons to deter him jonathan trappe set off this morning on a 2,500 mile journey across the atlantic ocean relying on 370 helium balloons to fly him safely to europe jonathan trappe is pictured next to the lifeboat which hangs from the balloons ahead of taking off this morning from caribou, maine 'i'm just as afraid of dying as anyone,' he said 'but i go forward in the spirit of adventure, doing something nobody has achieved before, and to live an interesting life' a successful crossing will see trappe fly into the history books as the first person ever to scale the ocean in a flight of this type incredibly, winds could see him land anywhere between iceland and morocco after a journey expected to take between three and five days trappe is relying on state of the art weather data from the meteorologist who advised felix baumgartner on his record breaking skydive from the stratosphere last year the latest weather reports before the launch suggested winds would take trappe to western europe crowds gather to wave the it specialist off in caribou, maine, this morning as he begins his attempt to become the first man to successfully cross the atlantic in this way the it specialist took off at 620am this morning in front of volunteers and supporters his team of meteorologists will monitor his progress using a satellite phone though admitting weather was the most dangerous aspect of the journey mr trappe was not put off by the thick fog he faced this morning as he hovered above caribou, maine 'weather is absolutely the most dangerous factor,' said trappe speaking immediately before launch 'but it's a double edged sword it's the only thing that will carry me across, but bad conditions could also ruin the attempt or endanger my life' trappe and his team had faced an agonising wait of more than 100 days in caribou for weather conditions good enough to carry him across the 'pond', typical for this time of year global weather systems being monitored by the project meteorologists stared lining up on monday, but local storms around maine threatened to destroy the cluster balloon system and forced trappe to stay grounded trappe, an it technical project manager from raleigh, north carolina, said: 'it was nail biting waiting for a weather window that would allow me to get up into the air and catch those transatlantic winds we'd been seeing the latest weather reports suggested winds would take trappe to western europe but unpredictable conditions could see him land anywhere between morocco and iceland the it technical project manager and his team have been waiting almost 100 days for good enough weather conditions to begin the journey which is expected to last between three and five days trappe already holds the record for the longest ever cluster balloon flight after crossing the english channel in 2012 and the alps in 2011 when he suspended an office chair from similar helium balloons to those used in this journey 'i need to get on them and ride them across like a conveyor belt' during the crossing, trappe faces climbing as high as 25,000ft to ride the winds that will propel him towards europe to ascend he'll drop ballast and will pop balloons or release them into the air if he needs to fly lower because favourable winds are at lower altitudes trappe already holds the record for the longest ever cluster balloon flight of 14 hours, but said: 'this is far greater than anything achieved before, i'm looking at 62 hours or longer' volunteers help inflate the 370 balloons which trappe will gradually deflate to control his descent once above dry land in several days time five people have died in the past trying to make the 2,500 mile journey in conventional hot air balloons or single gas balloons as the result of unexpected winds and storms 12 previous attempts have been made to traverse the atlantic ocean using balloons though none has been successful in 2008 a brazilian priest died trying to make the journey using helium filled birthday balloons trappe is relying on state of the art weather data from the meteorologist who advised felix baumgartner on his record breaking skydive from the stratosphere last year the 370 balloons have been attached to a lifeboat which will save mr trappe's life if he drops into water at any point in the dangerous journey volunteers clutch on to seven helium balloons ahead of trappe's take off this morning after the journey was put on hold for months due to poor weather conditions he became the only person to have crossed the english channel by cluster balloon in may 2010, and the alps in september 2011 previous flights have seen him travel in a simple office chair suspended by the balloons this time he's elected to dangle inside a small yellow life boat in case he ditches into the ocean 'if i touch down on water then the attempt will be over as it will be impossible to take off again, but the boat will keep me alive' it will be incredibly dangerous as i could be several days away from any rescue crew and it will mean surviving rough seas for a long time, alone' colonel joe kittinger, 84, who acted as capsule communicator during felix baumgartner's skydive from space, has aided with preparations for the dangerous journey mr trappe's partner nidia ramirez was there to wave him off this morning as he prepares to embark on the 2,500 mile flight which could see him reach altitudes of 25,000ft mr trappe said though he was aware how dangerous the feat is, he wants to live an interesting life and 'go forward in the spirit of adventure' life imitates art: in the pixar film, carl fredricksen strapped hundreds of equally bright balloons to his house to transport it from the us to south america while trappe is the first ever to attempt an atlantic cluster balloon crossing, five people have died trying to cross the ocean in 12 total attempts using hot air balloons or more conventional single gas balloons in 2008, brazilian priest adelir antônio de carli died after he drifted out to sea while trying to set a record for a flight using helium filled party balloons father adelir antonio de carli began his flight suspended in a harness like seat from 1,000 balloons in the southern port of paranagua he had intended to fly 20 hours due west, but unexpected winds carried the 42 year old out over the south atlantic on a southeasterly course also advising on the project is aviation hero colonel joseph kittinger kittinger, 84, acted as capsule communicator during felix baumgartner's skydive from space and was the first person to make a solo atlantic crossing by gas balloon, in 1984 'i accepted the role of advisor on this project because i want to help a young man achieve his dream, to reach his goal,' said kittinger 'like me, trappe wants to be remembered for achieving something that nobody has achieved before him i'm here because i believe he can do it his planning has been meticulous and if anyone can make this, he can' the latest update on the it specialist's blog said he was travelling at 39mph, approximately 70 miles out over the atlantic from the new brunswick coast trappe will keep in touch with his team on land via satellite phone he sent his first message shortly after taking off this morning to chief meteorologist, don day it read: 'don ok w speed & head? i know i am high coming down,' checking the team was happy with the speed the balloons were travelling at to follow jonathan's progress through his official media partners visit:

lucie blackman's family today said they still do not know how she died, 13 years after her body was found in japan the family of lucie blackman said today they still do not know how she died 13 years after she was killed in tokyo by a millionaire japanese property developer lucie was 21 when she disappeared in the japanese capital where she had been working as a bar hostess in 2000 her dismembered body was discovered buried in a seaside cave near an apartment owned by joji obara, 61, who could not be charged with murder as lucie’s body was so badly decomposed he was cleared of manslaughter due to a lack of evidence but later found guilty of her abduction, dismemberment and the disposing of her body in 2008 after the blackman family appealed an inquest at croydon coroner’s court today recorded an open verdict into her death after the hearing lucie’s father tim, 60, said: 'i really hoped they could have gone through it all and came up with some suggestion of how lucie died' obara is now serving life imprisonment for what happened to lucie, as well as the rape and murder of australian nightclub hostess carita ridgway, who died in tokyo in 1992, and a string of rapes on other women mr blackman added he felt ‘let down’ by the japanese court system, where verdicts are determined by three judges rather than a jury he said: 'it is simply not geared up to deal with a case and trial of the nature of lucie’s they depend so heavily on confessionals over there 'i can’t imagine if it had been in a british court and such evidence had been presented to a jury of 12 people they would have originally directed there was no case to answer 'the japanese police were very slow and needed a push to get going but it is the court system that let us down really' lucie's father tim blackman (left) and sister sophie listened as the coroner recorded an open verdict today japanese police believe obara, who filmed sex attacks on his drugged victims, could be responsible for up to 900 rapes lucie's sister sophie, who was 19 when she died, said today’s verdict made no difference as ‘lucie’s still gone’ she said: 'today is just a formality for us, the last thing it’s over in a way, but it will never be closure for us we still have to live with what happened 'i think lucie’s death just reinforces how tragic it is that a 21 year old girl can go on holiday with her best friend and end up murdered and here we are 13 years later in a dingy coroners court 'the value of life is so important but it’s family and friends that are left behind who end up living with the sadness of it all “if it wasn’t for lucie, a man who had 900 videos of him raping women and killed an australian girl could still be out there 'lucie’s death brought those cases into the public domain and put this serial rapist in prison for the rest of his life' recalling the last time she saw her older sister, sophie, now 33, said: 'it was the night before she flew to japan i remember that night i slept with her in her bed joji obara (left) is serving life imprisonment for the abduction of lucie (right) and dismembering and disposing of her body he has also been convicted of the murder of australian carita ridgeway 'it was such a long time ago but life goes on, we have to move forward and just cope with things as best we can' she said the hardest times were family occasions, christmas and lucie’s birthday on september 1 this year she would have turned 35 her dad tim added: 'the thing i find hardest is the life we would have had with lucie 'many of her friends are now married and have children having her future taken away from us and not being able to share it with her is what is most difficult to deal with' earlier the inquest heard several post mortems were performed in japan and the uk which revealed traces of sedatives and the ‘date rape’ drug rohypnol were found in her body an unidentified black substance was also found in her mouth coroner dr roy palmer said: 'it’s been an awful long time i know i think it is the longest case that i can think of without being concluded even now we don’t have all the answers we’d like' sophie blackman, pictured with her sister, said the family will never have 'closure' over her death croydon coroners' court coroner dr roy palmer recorded an open verdict and admitted the family were not given 'answers that would in any way satisfy you' he told lucie’s family: 'i’m so very, very sorry you lost lucie in such sad circumstances and that no one’s been able to give the answers that would in any way satisfy you' the inquest heard former british airways air hostess lucie had only been in japan with her friend louise phillips, also 21, two months before she went missing on july 1, 2000 that night she had been working at the casablanca hostess club and is believed to have gone back to obara’s apartment when she failed to return the next day her friend reported her missing lucie’s parents made several visits to japan and spent thousands of pounds trying to find her but her remains were found on a beach 60miles from tokyo, near obara’s apartment, in february 2001 she was identified by dna but the coroner said without a cause of death he must record an open verdict lucie’s family have since set up the lucie blackman trust to help other families cope with the deaths of their relatives abroad and provide assistance to them
