A telegram from playwright Noel Coward and a bill for 'ladies' delicates' sent to author Agatha Christie more than half a century ago have been discovered - in the back of an old bureau. Stunned furniture restorer Clive Payne, 46, was fixing up the valuable 18th century piece, bought at auction in 2006, when the two crumpled letters fell out. Coward's telegram, sent from Bermuda and dated September 1957, congratulated the author on her play The Mousetrap breaking the record for the longest running West End show. Long lost: The telegraph sent by Noel Coward to Agatha Christie more than half a century ago . He signs off: 'All my good wishes, Noel Coward.' The valuable typed telegram was discovered alongside an old 1952 receipt for Agatha Christie's underwear - for £562 in today's money - inside the antique bureau. Shocked Mr Payne told today how he unravelled the mystery.He said: 'I opened the letter and I could not believe it when it was addressed to Agatha Christie. 'I was doubly amazed when I saw it was from Noel Coward. Then I opened the receipt as well - it is a bit strange knowing the intimate details of someone so well-known. 'As a restorer you probably only get this once in a career. It's fantastic.' Treasure trove: Agatha Christie's bureau where the telegram and receipt were found . The shimmering pine bureau, plastered in a thick walnut veneer, is believed to date from around 1710 and contains three secret drawers. Author Christie bought the furniture piece in the 1950s and may have used it to pen many of her famous crime novels - including legendary detectives Miss Marple and Poirot. The bureau was snapped up by an anonymous collector at auction in 2006, when part of the crime novelist's estate went up for sale from her home on the River Dart, Devon. The secret collector - who still does not want to be identified - took the dilapidated bureau to be touched up by expert restorer Mr Payne, from Lechlade, Glos. Prolific: Dame Agatha Christie (pictured here in March 1971) wrote more than 80 detective novels . Mr Payne said: 'The bureau had been in my workshop for three or four years. 'A client had bought it in with lots of other furniture after buying it at auction. 'As part of the restoration process I needed to remove its back. The usual dirt and muck fell out, but also two pieces of paper. He unfolded the paper and was amazed at what he saw. The telegram congratulates Agatha . Christie on her play The Mousetrap breaking the record for the longest . running show in London's West End. Noel . Coward begrudgingly sent the note after Christie's play had beaten his . own, Blithe Spirit, which had held the previous record. The . note reads: 'Dear Agatha Christie, much as it pains me I really must . congratulate you on The Mousetrap breaking the long run record. 'All . my good wishes, Noel Coward.' The other piece of paper turned out to be . a receipt for model lingerie, housecoats and night wear from 1952 - . addressed to a Mrs Mallowan from a shop in London. It details a £24.13s.6d order. After . a bit of research Mr Payne cracked the mystery - discovering that . Christie's married name after her second marriage to archaeologist Max . Mallowan in 1930. Secret drawers: The receipt for Agatha Christie's underwear, found in the antique bureau . The two valuable documents, which both now belong to the anonymous owner of the bureau, are not expected to be sold. Mathew Prichard, Agatha Christie's grandson, said the letter would have caused his grandmother much pleasure. He said today: 'I'd have thought to have had acknowledgement of her achievements at The Mousetrap running so long would have pleased her very much. Gracious: Noel Coward congratulated Agatha Christie on beating his record for the longest running show in London's West End . 'The opinion of her peers and fellow entertainers meant a lot to her.' P . rolific writer Christie penned more than 80 crime novels, featuring some of the country's best-loved fictional detectives, including Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. She is widely regarded as the best-selling author of all time and was made a Dame five years before she died in 1976, aged 85. The Torquay-born author is also known for her successful plays - including The Mousetrap. The Mousetrap, a murder mystery, opened in London's West End in 1952 and became the longest running play on September 13, 1957. Incredibly, it is still running today and has notched up more than 24,000 performances worldwide. The play is also known for its twist ending, which the audience is asked not to reveal at the end of every performance. English playwright Coward wrote more than 50 plays before his death in 1973. Comic play Blithe Spirit - whose record was broken by The Mousetrap - notched up 1,997 performances after appearing in the West End in 1941. Record breaking: The Mousetrap has notched up more than 24,000 performances worldwide .
Coward: 'Much as it pains me, I really must congratulate you on breaking the long run record...' Christie's play had beaten his Blithe Spirit, the previous record holder .

Dr. Ben Carson, a pediatric surgeon-turned-politician, emerged as a major conservative darling on Saturday in Iowa by harping on the Obama administration's immigraton and health care policy – and saying a new approach to energy could put Russian Presdient Vladimir Putin 'back in his little box.' The long-shot potential White House hopeful drew the biggest ovations by far at the morning session of the Iowa Freedom Summit, as GOP presidential hopefuls jockeyed for position. 'We need to use our natural resources' to generate a new economic recovery, Carson said. 'We're the number one producer of oil now, on 3 per cent of the land! The federal governmnt has no business owning all this land. This is craziness!' The thousand-plus crowd roared. 'And all the natural gas we have! Now we have the ability to liquefy natural gas,' Carson reminded them, 'which means we can export it.' 'THIS IS CRAZINESS!': Ben Carson said Saturday that federal public lands should be in private hadns so they can be tapped for oil and gas . IN A BOX: Russian President Vladimir Putin's economic running room is getting smaller as oil prices drop, and Carson says America should tighten the screws even more . John Bolton, a former US ambassador to the United Nations, said Russia is in an ever-tighter spot as oil prices fall – whether from Saudi price manipulation or American drilling and fracking . Then the soft-spoken man with a dramatic following and a fundraising-savvy 'draft' movement pushing him to run took aim at Russia. 'We need to use those energy resources not only to enhance our economic situation, but also to pay down our debt – and to put Putin back in his little box, y'know?' Plummeting oil prices on the global market, driven by a Saudi Arabian strategy designed to cripple Iran, have also created a near-existential crisis in Moscow. In June 2014 the price of a barrel of Brent crude hovered near $115. On Friday it was $49. While Russia has its conglomerate natural gas production to fall back on, its economy has faltered more as the bottom of the oil market slips lower. And U.S. economic sanctions leveled after military incursions into neighboring Ukraine have added to Putin's headaches. Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, who spoke after lunch, told Daily Mail Online in an interview on the summit's sidelines that 'The Russians live hand to mouth with their oil revenues, as do the Iranians, and who knows what could happen if prices plummet again and again?' 'I think the Saudis' main target in allowing the price to fall was Iran, but they got a lot of collateral damage out of it as well – in Russia, in Venezuela, in Algeria.' Bolton also cited 'our fracking here' as a factor. 'While the Saudis, the Emiratis, the Kuwaitis and others can sustain for some considerable period of time oil at this level, it has an immediate palpable effect on Iran and russia and others.' 'And I think the Saudis understood that.' Carson believes the United States should grasp the idea too, and use it as a foreign affairs sledgehammer. He got bigger applause with a proposal to shrink the federal government 'by attrition.' 'Thousands of government employees retire every year. Don't replace them,' he said. 'You do that for about four or five years, and all of a sudden you've got the government down to a manageable size ... They won't have time to stick their big noses in everybody's business. 'The government tries to insert itself into everything,' he emphasized. 'They want to tell you how to take care of your children, what you should feed them, how you should discipline them.' 'You know what? I would be happy to accept the advice of the government if they were doing everything perfectly.' Carson spoke at the Iowa Freedom Summit on January 24 in Des Moines, Iowa as a host of potential 2016 Republican presidential candidates jousted on core conservative principles . RUSSIA NEXT? Sliding oil prices have sent Venezuela on a downward spiral and sent President Nicolas Maduro on a trip to China to make an urgent appeal for cash; government-controlled supermarkets are limiting what citizens can purchase as the bottom falls out of the nations economy . And the rafters shook when he gave a quiet but firm sermon on immigration policy – squarely targeting President Barack Obama's plan to mainstream 5 million or more illegal immigrants with residency IDs and work permits. 'We already have laws that demonstrate how a person becomes an American citizen,' Carson said. 'We don't need to relitigate that.' 'If we do relitigate that, it has to be by the proper branch of government – Congress – not by the president, not by the Supreme Court.' Whichever Republican wins the White House – his assumption – 'should make it their goal to seal that border within a year,' he intoned. 'Do we have the ability to seal the border? Sure we do. We just don't have the will to seal the border.' He insisted, though, that Republicans should 'integrate compassion' into their immigration policy and give illegal immigrants a pathway to work in the U.S. – under certain strict circumstances. 'I don't think they should have to hide in the shadows,' he said, pointing to Canada's guest worker program as a model. 'We shouldn't offer jobs unless Americans won't take them. And in order to get a guest worker permit, you have to apply for it from outside of America.' 'You shouldn't get an advantage for breaking the law,' he said. DRILL, BABY, DRILL: Saudi Arabia dropped oil prices by more than half in order to cripple regional rival Iran – but Russia, Venezuela and Algeria have become collateral damage . Carson leaped into the national consciousness in 2013 by saying during a National Prayer Breakfast speech that the Affordable Care Act – Obamacare – was the worst thing to happen to the United States 'since slavery.' Carson, an African-American, said so with a more famous black man, President Obama, sitting two seats away. 'We do not need the government controlling our healthcare,' he reiterated on Saturday. 'Even if it worked, I would oppose it. [But] it doesn't.' 'I don't believe in taking the most important thing a person has, which is their health, their healthcare, and putting it in the hands of the government,' Carson said, 'because if they control your healthcare, it's not long before they control your whole life.' 'And that changes the entire relationship.'
America should drill for more oil and gas, and sell public lands to do it, said the African-American presidential long-shot with a cult-like following . 'The federal governmnt has no business owning all this land,' Carson said' 'This is craziness!' The lower oil prices go, the more Russia, Iran and Venezuela falter . Former UN Anmassador John Bolton said 'the Russians live hand to mouth with their oil revenues' Carson and Bolton are part of a Saturday GOP cattle-call in Iowa, organized by hometown conservative Republican Rep. Steve King .

(CNN) -- Eminem was a bit of a novelty when he burst on the music scene in 1999 with his major-label debut album, "The Slim Shady LP." One of the highest-profile white rappers not only to have major crossover success but also street cred, the artist born Marshall Mathers no longer has to deal as much with the issue of race in a music genre dominated by African-American men. Instead, he is grappling with issues regarding another minority group. "I poke fun at other people, myself," Eminem recently told Rolling Stone magazine about using a slur against gay people in his rhymes. "But the real me sitting here right now talking to you has no issues with gay, straight, transgender, at all." The rapper has always courted controversy, and it's not the first time he's attracted attention for gay epithets in his music. Eminem now is feeling the heat for the not at all gay friendly lyrics in "Rap God" from his eighth solo album, "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," which came out Tuesday. A sequel to his hit 2000 album, "The Marshall Mathers LP," the latest project is garnering some critical acclaim. Consequence of Sound writer Mike Madden notes in a Time piece that "Eminem doesn't have that center-of-the-universe pull these days, nor could he or anyone else have expected 'MMLP2' to yield the results of its alpha." "But, this one's nostalgic in all the right ways, a worthy look back at the LP that made him the world's most popular cult figure," he writes. "And, since we still haven't found an inheritor to his madness, this version of Marshall Mathers is more than welcome." In reviewing the album, USA Today's Edna Gundersen gave it 3½ stars out of 4, saying, "On 'The Marshall Mathers LP 2,' he recaptures the original release's wild, clever, emotional brilliance in a flurry of caustic, brazenly honest, rapid-fire rhymes and aggressive beats. So what's the problem? Once the bravest visionary in rap's underworld, Eminem spends much of 'MMLP2' gazing into the past, reworking early tricks and wading in nostalgia rather than forging a fresh path." Eminem returns to hip-hop at an interesting time. Two of its biggest stars, Kanye West and Jay Z, are known as much for their high-profile relationships (to Kim Kardashian and Beyonce, respectively) and roles as fathers as they are for their music. And the new rising stars include the likes of Kendrick Lamar, who is making a name for himself basically by dissing everyone. It's an era where music artists strive to be shocking (Miley Cyrus, anyone?) while still in fear of running afoul of the political correctness police. Sober after an addiction to prescription drugs he told CNN almost killed him and the father of a teen daughter, Eminem, now 41, has also grown. The new album is a follow-up to a different time in his life, but it remains as personal as his past projects. "I always say this about my music, and music in general: Music is like a time capsule," he told Complex magazine. "Each album reflects what I'm going through or what's going on in my life at that moment." He told the magazine he is unsure of where he fits into today's musical landscape. "I struggle with that sometimes," Eminem said. "I guess it's more about where people see me, and where people feel like I fit in. Hopefully when all is said and done, people see me as just an MC." These days there are a plethora of white rappers that can thank Eminem for further opening the door to the genre. Artists such as Mac Miller, Yelawolf and Macklemore are now hip-hop mainstays. When Brand Nubian rapper Lord Jamar recently criticized the latter during an interview ("Okay, white rappers, you're coming to this almost as a guest. Okay, matter of fact you are guests in the house of Hip Hop. Just because you have a hit record doesn't give you the right as I feel to voice your opinion."), others condemned the comments. "I mean as far as white people rapping, who gives a f**k," said actor/comedian Lil Duval to Vlad TV. "Is it f***in' up yo money? No." Rapper Mackelmore offers an interesting counterpoint to Eminem's new single given that the former's anthem to gay equality, "Same Love," has become a hit. When Rolling Stone writer Brian Hiatt recently questioned Eminem as to "why, in 2013, use 'f**got' on that song ('Rap God')" and "why use 'gay-looking' as an insult" given that he has gone out of his way to say he has no problem with the gay community, the rapper attributed it to his hip-hop persona. "I don't know how to say this without saying it how I've said it a million times," he said. "But that word, those kind of words, when I came up battle-rappin' or whatever, I never really equated those words . ..." To being a homosexual, Hiatt asked? "Yeah," he said. "It was more like calling someone a b**ch or a punk or a**hole. So that word was just thrown around so freely back then. It goes back to that battle, back and forth in my head, of wanting to feel free to say what I want to say, and then (worrying about) what may or may not affect people."
Eminem is answering critics about anti-gay lyrics . His new single, "Rap God," uses a gay slur . Eminem's latest album is a sequel to "The Marshall Mathers LP"

When Rolling Stone writer Brian Hiatt recently questioned Eminem as to "why, in 2013, use 'f**got' on that song ('Rap God')" and "why use 'gay-looking' as an insult" given that he has gone out of his way to say he has no problem with the gay community, the rapper attributed it to his hip-hop persona. "I don't know how to say this without saying it how I've said it a million times," he said. "But that word, those kind of words, when I came up battle-rappin' or whatever, I never really equated those words . ..." To being a homosexual, Hiatt asked? "Yeah," he said. "It was more like calling someone a b**ch or a punk or a**hole. So that word was just thrown around so freely back then. It goes back to that battle, back and forth in my head, of wanting to feel free to say what I want to say, and then (worrying about) what may or may not affect people."

(CNN) -- During the Olympic Games in London, which will end with Sunday's closing ceremony, there have been many memorable moments: . The triumph of Michael Phelps. The dazzling talent of Gabby Douglas. The countless displays of lustrous skills honed by the world's finest young athletes over years of arduous practice. But one of the most lasting memories may be the one provided by an 86-year-old woman who was not exactly an obscure footnote to history when the Games began. Queen Elizabeth II, in her now-famous James Bond scene, was a highlight, if not the highlight, of the opening ceremony. Her deadpan grace was something that many an accomplished actor would envy. With four words, delivered to an enormous global audience, she, with an implied smiling wink, humanized herself and embodied winning warmth. The filmed scene will always be a hallmark of the 2012 Olympics (the stunt double jumping out of the helicopter -- who would have imagined that she would have approved it?). These vastly entertaining television Olympics really began with those four words from her: . "Good evening, Mr. Bond." As the queen turned from her writing desk to greet James Bond, played by the current Bond actor Daniel Craig, her calm tone of voice reminded me of the lovely scene in the movie "The Queen," in which Helen Mirren, playing Queen Elizabeth, says to Michael Sheen, the actor playing Tony Blair: . "Yes, well, you are my 10th prime minister, Mr. Blair. My first, of course, was Winston Churchill." London 2012 legacy: Trust the British to get it right . In greeting Daniel Craig in the Olympics scene, the real queen, in that utterly polite but manifestly unimpressed voice, could just as well have been saying: . "Yes, well, you are my seventh James Bond, Mr. Craig. My first, of course, was Sean Connery." (For those of you who are already thinking that there have been only six feature-film Bonds -- Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Craig -- you are leaving out David Niven, who played Bond in a less-than-officially-authorized "Casino Royale" in 1967. And there have been other Bonds in various radio and television productions.) Queen Elizabeth has been around for them all. In fact, she was already wearing the crown when, in 1953, Ian Fleming published his first Bond novel, "Casino Royale." The films that were inspired by Fleming's books have been a strong, hugely popular and endlessly lucrative franchise, but there is a case to be made that the novels are even better. Just reading the opening words of "Casino Royale" is a lesson in beautiful scene-setting, the flawless introduction of a brand-new character: . "The scent and smoke and sweat of a casino are nauseating at three in the morning. Then the soul-erosion produced by high gambling -- a compost of greed and fear and nervous tension -- becomes unbearable and the senses awake and revolt from it. "James Bond suddenly knew that he was tired. He always knew when his body or his mind had had enough and he always acted on that knowledge. This helped him to avoid staleness and the sensual bluntness that breeds mistakes. ..." Opinion: London Olympics have redefined how Britain sees itself . The novels still read thrillingly today (here's a tip: the best of them is "On Her Majesty's Secret Service"), but there is no question that when the movies came along, they overshadowed Fleming's ink-on-paper volumes. This Diamond Jubilee year commemorating Queen Elizabeth's 60-year reign is also the 50th anniversary of the Bond films, starting with "Dr. No," and the series is receiving renewed attention. In the 1980s I spent a day with Connery -- he was filming "The Untouchables" with Robert De Niro and Kevin Costner -- as he left the set to go to several appointments with doctors. It turned out that for all his daring exploits in the Bond movies, he was deathly afraid of needles (as a child he had seen from eye-level and inches away a girl from his class in Scotland getting inoculated during a diphtheria outbreak, and "the fear of needles has been with me ever since.") Of Fleming's Bond novels, Connery said: "To tell you the truth, I never read them all." Of the ones he did read, he said, "I was never all that crazy about the books." But the author himself? "I liked Fleming," Connery said. "He was erudite -- and a real snob. Being a genuine snob can be quite healthy. At least you know who you're dealing with. "We got along rather well, surprisingly. We had both been in the Royal Navy -- although he was a commander and I was an able-bodied seaman." By the time Daniel Craig was born in 1968, Connery had already starred in five Bond films. Connery told me that he approved of the idea of new generations of actors playing Bond as the years went by -- "The guy should be young. Or at least under 50" -- and so it was Craig, as the contemporary Bond, who co-starred with the queen in the Olympics film. To look at Craig's face after the queen turns and sees him -- "Good evening, Mr. Bond" -- is to see Craig the man, not just Craig the actor. He knows just how indelible a moment this is in his own life. He's doing a scene with Queen Elizabeth -- and she is the reveal, not him. In the Bond movies, it's the Bond character who, sometimes literally, always symbolically, makes the turn, and reveals to the audience who he is: "Bond. James Bond." But in the Olympics film, the queen, as Craig clearly and delightedly understands, is the actor the audience's eyes are fastened upon. Not bad, at 86. And, as enduring Olympic moments go, gold. Pure gold. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Bob Greene.

Republicans hoping to use Benghazi as a cudgel against Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if she runs for President in 2016 may be out of luck, a new Fox News poll suggests. Released Wednesday, the poll asks respondents a number of questions about Clinton, including whether they think she is responsible for deaths of four Americans killed in the September 11, 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack. It also asks if they think Clinton is 'honest and trustworthy.' Despite the negative attention Clinton received throughout last year for her role in the administration's failure to prevent the deaths and it's subsequent botched response to the attack, Clinton's favorability ratings outpace those of her main 2016 rivals. Hillary Clinton gets favorable marks from Americans despite her association with the Benghazi terrorist attacks . Just over a year ago, Clinton resigned from her cabinet-level position amidst Congressional hearings into Benghazi. As if the physical attack on Benghazi wasn't bad enough, Clinton floundered in the face of Congress, shouting out the now infamous line 'what difference at this point does it make' when pressed about the cause of the attack. 'The fact is we had four dead Americans! Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?' Clinton said while testifying at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on January 23, 2013. 'What difference at this point does it make?' U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton infamously shouted at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 23, 2013 . Not much, it would seem. Clinton's outburst has lost much of its initial sting, based on respondent's answers to Fox's poll. While respondents do not think the Obama administration is being 'open and transparent' about the Benghazi, when directly asked if they blame Clinton for what happened, responses were mixed, with only a combined total of 55 percent of respondents placing any blame whatsoever on her. Fox's recent poll is not an anomaly. The news company's polls show that furor over Benghazi has steadily declined in the last year. During a Q and A earlier this year, Clinton acknowledged Benghazi as her 'biggest regret' during her tenure as Secretary of State, and she is expected to discuss the scandal in further detail in her upcoming memoir, Hard Choices. The book, the title of which was just released today, will hit the shelves on June 10. 'The hard questions are not, "Do you want to be president?" "Can you win?" ' Clinton said during a recent speech.'The hard questions are, "Why? Why would you want to do this?" and "What? What could you offer that could make a difference?" ' Republicans have continued to make Benghazi an issue. On Thursday, Georgia Rep. Lynn Westmoreland told a blogger for United Liberty that a group of nine House Republicans, including himself, have been reviewing congressional testimony on the attacks from various witnesses to look for 'any contradictions in testimonies.' While not expressly named by Westmoreland, Clinton's testimony is undoubtedly on the group's list to review. 'Benghazi happened on her watch, so she will always have a connection to the attack,' a former spokesperson for Clinton at state, told The Washington Times last week. 'There have been some efforts to make it about her, which I suspect will continue despite the lack of evidence.' In Fox's poll, a majority of respondents said they thought Congress should continue investigatating the Obama administration's roll in the Benghazi terrorist attack, and 61 percent said they still believe the Obama administration is engaged in a cover-up. The percentage of Americans who believe the administration is lying about Benghazi remains steadfast, but the percentage who believe Congress should continue its investigation has significantly decreased since June of last year. Then, 73 percent of respondents wanted Congress to continue 'until lawmakers feel they know the truth.'Now, only 60 percent say the same thing. The poll surveyed roughly the same number of Republicans and Democrats and it contained similar percentages of both compared to previous Fox News polls on these issues. In a potential match up against New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, two politicians who ranked highest on Republican respondents' 2016 wish list, Clinton would beat both by a solid eight to nine points, the poll found. On the issue of trust, 54 percent said Clinton was 'honest and trustworthy' compared with Christie, who has taken a public relations flogging in recent months over the Bridgegate scandal, whom only 41 percent said they trusted. Jeb Bush didn't fare much better, with only 49 percent giving him positive marks in the trust category. Clinton's favorability rating is at its lowest point since 2008, but she she outpaced President Barack Obama, Jeb Bush and high-profile Senators Rand Paul and Ted Cruz, two more likely 2016 candidates. 'Polls don't matter much at all right now - what's most important is that there are millions of Americans in all corners of the country who are ready to help her win if she decides to run,' Ready for Hillary communications director Seth Bringman told MailOnline in an email. 'Poll numbers could change, but the enthusiasm of her supporters and the list of grassroots supporters can only grow.' While it's still early to be making blanket statements about the 2016 presidential election, it's clear that Benghazi won't have the thrust Republicans hoped it would. Should Clinton decide to run, Republicans will need to find a fresh angle on the issue to attack Clinton from or dig up new dirt.
Fox News poll released this week that asked various questions about the Benghazi terrorist attack and the 2016 presidential race. Clinton's favorability remains high despite Americans' contempt for the Obama administration's handling of the Benghazi terrorist attack. Americans are mixed on whether to hold Clinton directly responsible. A majority of respondents said Clinton was 'honest and trustworthy.' The poll found that Clinton is better liked than her potential 2016 rivals .

Heres the context you need to read and summary.Republicans hoping to use Benghazi as a cudgel against Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if she runs for President in 2016 may be out of luck, a new Fox News poll suggests. Released Wednesday, the poll asks respondents a number of questions about Clinton, including whether they think she is responsible for deaths of four Americans killed in the September 11, 2012 Benghazi terrorist attack. It also asks if they think Clinton is 'honest and trustworthy.' Despite the negative attention Clinton received throughout last year for her role in the administration's failure to prevent the deaths and it's subsequent botched response to the attack, Clinton's favorability ratings outpace those of her main 2016 rivals. Hillary Clinton gets favorable marks from Americans despite her association with the Benghazi terrorist attacks . Just over a year ago, Clinton resigned from her cabinet-level position amidst Congressional hearings into Benghazi. As if the physical attack on Benghazi wasn't bad enough, Clinton floundered in the face of Congress, shouting out the now infamous line 'what difference at this point does it make' when pressed about the cause of the attack. 'The fact is we had four dead Americans! Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they’d go kill some Americans? What difference at this point does it make?' Clinton said while testifying at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on January 23, 2013. 'What difference at this point does it make?' U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton infamously shouted at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 23, 2013 . Not much, it would seem. Clinton's outburst has lost much of its initial sting, based on respondent's answers to Fox's poll. While respondents do not think the Obama administration is being 'open and transparent' about the Benghazi, when directly asked if they blame Clinton for what happened, responses were mixed, with only a combined total of 55 percent of respondents placing any blame whatsoever on her. Fox's recent poll is not an anomaly. The news company's polls show that furor over Benghazi has steadily declined in the last year. During a Q and A earlier this year, Clinton acknowledged Benghazi as her 'biggest regret' during her tenure as Secretary of State, and she is expected to discuss the scandal in further detail in her upcoming memoir, Hard Choices. The book, the title of which was just released today, will hit the shelves on June 10. 'The hard questions are not, "Do you want to be president?" "Can you win?" ' Clinton said during a recent speech.'The hard questions are, "Why? Why would you want to do this?" and "What? What could you offer that could make a difference?" ' Republicans have continued to make Benghazi an issue. On Thursday, Georgia Rep. Lynn Westmoreland told a blogger for United Liberty that a group of nine House Republicans, including himself, have been reviewing congressional testimony on the attacks from various witnesses to look for 'any contradictions in testimonies.' While not expressly named by Westmoreland, Clinton's testimony is undoubtedly on the group's list to review. 'Benghazi happened on her watch, so she will always have a connection to the attack,' a former spokesperson for Clinton at state, told The Washington Times last week. 'There have been some efforts to make it about her, which I suspect will continue despite the lack of evidence.' In Fox's poll, a majority of respondents said they thought Congress should continue investigatating the Obama administration's roll in the Benghazi terrorist attack, and 61 percent said they still believe the Obama administration is engaged in a cover-up. The percentage of Americans who believe the administration is lying about Benghazi remains steadfast, but the percentage who believe Congress should continue its investigation has significantly decreased since June of last year. Then, 73 percent of respondents wanted Congress to continue 'until lawmakers feel they know the truth.'Now, only 60 percent say the same thing. The poll surveyed roughly the same number of Republicans and Democrats and it contained similar percentages of both compared to previous Fox News polls on these issues. In a potential match up against New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, two politicians who ranked highest on Republican respondents' 2016 wish list, Clinton would beat both by a solid eight to nine points, the poll found.

(CNN) -- As a child, Lee Yoon Jung used to hide underground with her classmates when the sirens rang at her school. The emergency drills were held in case of a North Korean attack. Lee, now 46, has children of her own, who do not have such exercises at their schools in Ulsan, South Korea. It represents the attitude shift over recent decades of tension between the two Koreas. South Koreans have become accustomed to living next to their northern neighbor, which often releases bellicose statements and calls it a "group of puppet traitors." "Even though there are still many threats, very significant threats like nuclear weapons, we are quite used to those," said Lee, about her thoughts on the latest provocation from North Korea. Last month, North Korea announced plans to carry out a new nuclear test and more long-range rocket launches. The very next day, Pyongyang also issued a direct threat to South Korea, and warned of "strong physical counter-measures" if the nation participated in U.N. sanctions. In South Korea, life carried on. For many people, domestic concerns far outweigh worries about inter-Korea relations. "South Korea is always dealing with North Korea, there are always reports in the South Korean media that North Korea is threatening this and that," said Karl Friedhoff, program officer of the Public Opinion Studies Center at the Asan Institute for Policy Studies based in Seoul. "It's a psychological thing where when you live under a constant threat, at some point you move on and it becomes life as usual. I think that's what has happened." The institute's polls in South Korea indicate domestic concerns such as the economy and job creation heavily outweigh concerns about North Korea, even after a controversial rocket launch by Pyongyang in December that drew international condemnation. Even if North Korea tests a nuclear weapon, Friedhoff does not expect it to raise concerns in South Korea. North Korea's failed missile launch "did very little to move the needle on public opinion. Then, when it came to December, the thought was if this [launch] is successful, maybe that will do something. But it also did nothing to move the needle," he said, referring to the polls on public opinion. "If there is a nuclear test, I don't anticipate that it's going to have any effect either," Friedhoff added. Lee said she was not too concerned about North Korea's possible nuclear testing. "If they have nuclear weapon, I don't think war will start very easily," she said. The economic interruptions to regional countries like China, Russia and Japan, would prompt the international community to prevent war and instability on the Korean Peninsula, she added. South Koreans tend to view North Koreans as a neighbor (33%) or as one of them (32%), according to 2012 Asan Institute data. About 19% said they considered North Koreans as enemies, 10% as strangers and 6% reported no interest, in a nationwide poll that included 2,000 South Koreans. North and South signed an armistice in 1953 that ended fighting in the Korean War but a formal peace treaty has never been signed. Since then, menacing rhetoric from Pyongyang has become part of daily life for Koreans, citizens said. "There's some difference between other countries views and Koreans' view about this recent North Korea nuclear provocation," said Yoon Dong Keun, a college student living near Seoul, who described heightened global concern outside of Korea. His friends received calls from their friends in the United States inquiring about their safety. "Most of South Korea is not taking those actions as seriously as others," he said. "There are so many series of provocation and action. There's few times the provocation came upright to a threat to our security." In 2010, the North shelled the South Korean island of Yeonpyeong leaving two marines and two civilians dead. Pyongyang claimed Seoul provoked the attack by holding a military drill off their shared coast in the Yellow Sea. That same year, North Korea was also accused of sinking a South Korean warship, killing more than 40 sailors. The incidents caused widespread anger in the South. "We can't say a North Korea [incident] will never happen," Yoon said. Regarding the latest nuclear testing, he said "It seems like North Korea's brinkmanship. They just want to blackmail or threaten other countries so they can get bigger aid or they can use or get bigger influence in other countries." North Korea's rhetoric has fluctuated in recent weeks. At the beginning of January, the nation's leader Kim Jong Un struck a conciliatory tone on relations with the South, saying that removing "confrontation" between the two sides would be important in bringing about their reunification. However, on February 1, North Korea's state-run media declared that "peaceful reunification can never be expected on the Korean Peninsula and the Korean nation can never escape disaster unless the U.S. imperialists and the South Korean regime are eliminated." On Sunday, the country announced that its leader had made an "important decision" to strengthen the nation, although it was unclear. Despite provocations of a nuclear test, Seung Il Hong, a South Korean described the response of people as "calm" and noted that stock markets in Korea and abroad had been stable. "If Kim Jong Un attempts to do a nuclear test again, it will be the third time. I think the average Korean person has become relatively insensitive to North Korean nuclear tests," he said. Hong also pointed to the efforts of South Korea's president-elect Park Geun-hye who has called for shortening the required military service for men from two years to 1.5 years, as an indication that Koreans are not distressed over the provocations. South Koreans differentiate between the North Korean people and its leadership, Hong said. "Most of the Korean people don't seem to think the North Korean people are the enemy," Hong said. They consider the government hostile to South Korea, he added.
South Korean citizens are accustomed to North's threatening statements . Threats to South Korea have become the norm, for many it's not a source of concern . Survey shows rocket launches and nuclear testing did not sway South Korean opinion .

From stockpiling extra cash to possibly authorizing advances to customers who rely on federal benefit payments, banks are working out how to help customers cope should the federal budget impasse not be resolved by next week. Currently partially curtailed, all federal government activities will come to a complete halt in nine days should Democrats and Republicans not come to a budget agreement that includes raising the debt ceiling. With the government expected to run out of money October 17, many Americans are nervous about what the impact will be to them, and banks are taking steps to make sure customer needs are met. Working from a playbook: A number of banks are working out contingency plans to help customers should federal benefit payments halt next week as a result of a full government shutdown . An unidentified bank began upping cash reserves at retail branches by at least 20 per cent last week, according to a senior banking executive who spoke to the New York Times. The extra cash is likely coming from financial institutions such as Citigroup and Morgan Stanley selling government bonds, the Times reported. This action is a strong signal that Wall Street’s faith in Washington is diminishing. That same bank is also planning to ensure customers’ who rely on payments from Social Security or similar programs will be able to overdraft their accounts without incurring fees, the executive further divulged. Interest-free cash advances are also being considered in the event benefit payments are delayed, the executive noted. Endangering the masses: Banks are fielding many concerns from customers and are working to ensure customers are affected as little as possible . Part of what the Financial Times referred to as a ‘playbook,’ the measures were first conceived in 2011 as a government default loomed in the waning days of summer. Stockpiling cash at retail banking branches is being done should customers decide that stuffing money in mattresses is better than leaving it in accounts no longer insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The FDIC insures up to $250,000 worth of deposits. Should the borrowing limit not be raised, the U.S. government’s obligations will exceed its ability to pay, forcing the government into a first-ever default. Let's make a deal: President Barack Obama signaled a willingness to make concessions during a Tuesday news conference . Most experts agree that a breach of the debt ceiling would lead to grave consequences, including a freeze in credit, severe drops in securities markets, and a global economic downturn as bad – if not worse - as 2008’s Great Recession. Failure to raise the debt ceiling would lead to a ‘very, very severe recession with no obvious way out,” Moody’s Analytics Chief Economist Mark Zandi told the Wall Street Journal. ‘Not only might the economic consequences of default be profound,’ the Treasury Department wrote last week in a report, ‘those consequences, including high interest rates, reduced investment, higher debt payments, and slow economic growth, could last for more than a generation.’ Despite these dire predictions, some in Congress are taking a laissez-faire approach to resolving the issue. Extra cash: Many banks are fearful that customers will withdraw increased amounts of cash to sit on should the government default (though pictured here, there is not indication Capital One Bank is taking such action) Louisiana Republican John Fleming has compared economists to weather forecasters. 'Economists, what have they been doing? They make all sorts of predictions,' Mr Fleming said. 'Many times they’re wrong, so I don’t think we should run government based on economists’ predictions.' Florida Republican Ted Yoho said global financial markets would stabilize, should a default occur. President Barack Obama, in remarks Tuesday from the White House, signalled a willingness to compromise, admitting he’d be open to a short-term budget while a longer-term solution is worked out. ‘We recognize,' Mr Obama conceded, 'that there are going to have to be some compromises between the Democratic position and the Republican position.’ The government has nine days to avoid a potential economic calamity, but the nation’s banks are not standing idly by during another looming default.
American banks are preparing contingencies in the event of a U.S. government default . Some banks are stocking at least 20 per cent extra cash in the event of a run on deposits . Others are considering allowing no-fee overdrafts to Social Security payment reliant customers .

By . Amanda Williams . PUBLISHED: . 19:55 EST, 21 February 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 02:49 EST, 22 February 2013 . Pub regulars have celebrated saving their beloved local from being turned into a Tesco after a 16 month campaign. The retail giant planned a new Tesco Express store on the site of the Victoria and Albert pub in Seaton Delaval, Northumberland. But the scheme was rebuffed by planners and villagers, who waged a bitter battle against the grocery chain's plans to extend and convert the pub. The pub was the latest in a long list proposed to be converted into outlets for supermarket chains. Regulars including Stephen Keir (front) celebrate outside the Victoria and Albert pub in Seaton Delaval, North Tyneside, after successfully fighting off plans for supermarket giants Tesco to take over the pub . There have been with more than 200 conversions in Britain since 2010. Villagers accused Tesco of 'sheer arrogance' as they repeatedly applied for planning permission to convert the pub. But councillors and residents have refused to let the multi-million pound supermarket chain 'grind them down' and vowed to save their local pub. Councillors had been a shown letter from the pub's owners Punch Taverns, which backs the convenience store plans and said the pub would have shut anyway. The company said: 'Tenants have been unable to derive any sustainable profit due to the very low levels of trade and high outgoings. 'And for Punch the inevitable alternative may be to close and board the property.' But current manager Marshall Dunn rejected the claims, agreeing that when Tesco first looked to take over the Victoria and Albert it had been struggling, but in recent months business was booming. 'Before we took over, the pub was, as Tesco say, not a going concern,' he said. 'But trade has more than trebled in the last 16 to 17 months and it's now a real amenity for the village.' But at a boisterous meeting of the south east area planning committee of  Northumberland County Council on Tuesday night, councillors voiced their concerns that allowing the conversion would ultimately lead to a death on the road outside. The pub is situated on a notorious blind bend in the village, prompting safety fears. The retail giant planned a new Tesco Express store on the site but the scheme was rebuffed by planners and villagers, who waged a bitter battle against the grocery chain's plans to extend and convert the pub . Councillor Tom Brechany said that the idea of delivery lorries having to pull into and out of the proposed loading area outside the store was 'a recipe for disaster,'  while fellow councillor Wayne Daley said he and his members had a 'duty of care' to the people of Northumberland. 'I find it really offensive to see Tesco coming to us yet again in the hope it grinds us down,'  he said. 'It seems they hope we will get bored and let it through, but I'm not going to let that happen.' An application for a 108 square metre extension to the pub was rejected on the grounds of road safety. A separate application for two air conditioning units and a condenser was rejected on the grounds it could be an eyesore and create a noise nuisance for nearby homes. A spokesman for Tesco said: 'We are disappointed by the decision, especially as the applications had a positive recommendation from the council's own officers. 'We will now consider our options and decide on the way forward.' But villager Stephen Keir, who has led the campaign to save the pub, said he hoped this might finally be the end of the saga. He said: 'Hopefully we've now seen the back of this application that is clearly lacking any credibility.' Last year, a Co-operative supermarket was given the go-ahead, which could create up to 60 jobs, at a different site in the village.

The retail giant planned a new Tesco Express store on the site of the Victoria and Albert pub in Seaton Delaval, Northumberland. But the scheme was rebuffed by planners and villagers, who waged a bitter battle against the grocery chain's plans to extend and convert the pub. The pub was the latest in a long list proposed to be converted into outlets for supermarket chains. Regulars including Stephen Keir (front) celebrate outside the Victoria and Albert pub in Seaton Delaval, North Tyneside, after successfully fighting off plans for supermarket giants Tesco to take over the pub . There have been with more than 200 conversions in Britain since 2010. Villagers accused Tesco of 'sheer arrogance' as they repeatedly applied for planning permission to convert the pub. But councillors and residents have refused to let the multi-million pound supermarket chain 'grind them down' and vowed to save their local pub. Councillors had been a shown letter from the pub's owners Punch Taverns, which backs the convenience store plans and said the pub would have shut anyway. The company said: 'Tenants have been unable to derive any sustainable profit due to the very low levels of trade and high outgoings. 'And for Punch the inevitable alternative may be to close and board the property.' But current manager Marshall Dunn rejected the claims, agreeing that when Tesco first looked to take over the Victoria and Albert it had been struggling, but in recent months business was booming. 'Before we took over, the pub was, as Tesco say, not a going concern,' he said. 'But trade has more than trebled in the last 16 to 17 months and it's now a real amenity for the village.' But at a boisterous meeting of the south east area planning committee of  Northumberland County Council on Tuesday night, councillors voiced their concerns that allowing the conversion would ultimately lead to a death on the road outside. The pub is situated on a notorious blind bend in the village, prompting safety fears. The retail giant planned a new Tesco Express store on the site but the scheme was rebuffed by planners and villagers, who waged a bitter battle against the grocery chain's plans to extend and convert the pub . Councillor Tom Brechany said that the idea of delivery lorries having to pull into and out of the proposed loading area outside the store was 'a recipe for disaster,'  while fellow councillor Wayne Daley said he and his members had a 'duty of care' to the people of Northumberland. 'I find it really offensive to see Tesco coming to us yet again in the hope it grinds us down,'  he said. 'It seems they hope we will get bored and let it through, but I'm not going to let that happen.' An application for a 108 square metre extension to the pub was rejected on the grounds of road safety. A separate application for two air conditioning units and a condenser was rejected on the grounds it could be an eyesore and create a noise nuisance for nearby homes. A spokesman for Tesco said: 'We are disappointed by the decision, especially as the applications had a positive recommendation from the council's own officers. 'We will now consider our options and decide on the way forward.' But villager Stephen Keir, who has led the campaign to save the pub, said he hoped this might finally be the end of the saga. He said: 'Hopefully we've now seen the back of this application that is clearly lacking any credibility.' Last year, a Co-operative supermarket was given the go-ahead, which could create up to 60 jobs, at a different site in the village.

By . Francesca Chambers . First ladies are not elected officeholders but they should still use their positions of power to effect positive change, Michelle Obama said on Wednesday. After all, they are smarter than their politician husbands, she claimed. Speaking at a symposium for spouses at the U.S.- Africa Leaders Summit, Obama noted that whether first ladies 'like it or not we are role models' for young women in their country and they have a 'responsibility to show them the way.' 'So we can’t waste this spotlight. It is temporary and life is short, and change is needed. And women are smarter than men,' she stated to laughter and applause from the mostly female audience. 'That just goes without saying,' the event's moderator, Cokie Roberts of NPR, lightheartedly responded. 'And the men can’t complain, because you’re outnumbered today,' Obama replied with a smile. Scroll down for video . Girls Rule, Boys Drool: First Lady Michelle Obama said Wednesday that 'women are smarter than men' Obama was joined by former First Lady Laura Bush for the conversation, which was co-sponsored by the George W. Bush Institute. The leading ladies held a similar symposium last summer in Tanzania. 'Last year you were still getting blowback about your bangs,' Roberts said at the start of Wednesday's program, teasing Obama. 'Yes, that’s over,' the first lady told her. 'That’s an important issue,' Bush said in jest. The three women went on to discuss a range of issues, from the first ladies' passion projects, to the important of treating young girls and women with respect. Referencing a speech she gave last week to young African leaders, Obama said she 'wanted to just implant that notion' that they 'have to approach their work with a whole new attitude.' 'And one of the things I asked the young men is that you have to be introspective and ask yourselves whether you truly believe that women can be your equal.' 'Until we . prioritize our girls and understand that they are as important and their . education is as important as the education of our sons, then we will . have lots of work to do,' Obama said. Obama later argued that women of the world have to 'fight for our . girls.' 'There should never be a girl in this world who has to fear . getting educated. That should be something that is intolerable to all . of us,' she said, referring to Malala Yousafzai, the young girl who was shot by the Taliban on her way to school in 2012. The first lady said that when she looks around the world at young women, she sees her daughters. And like her daughters, Obama said she wants those young women to have happy, healthy lives. 'But it's going to take leadership like us, women like us speaking up . in our countries and making sure that young girls are not subject to . abuse, and that they are loved and valued,' she said. 'And until we do that, we . will not solve these problems.' 'Investing in our women,' she said, 'is the most important work that we do.' 'Until we start to value women and girls, we will continue to struggle on this planet,' she added . Obama said she chose to focus her women's initiative on Africa because it is an 'under-valued, under-appreciated continent.' Drawing on recent remarks that 'blood of Africa' runs through her veins,' Obama explained that another motivating factor is her heritage. 'The importance of Africa is very personal to me because, as the President said last night in his toast, Africa is home for us,' she said. 'His family is there. We have relatives there. We have visited the continent on several occasions. We have taken our daughters back to his grandfather’s village and they have seen a part of themselves. 'So the partnership with this continent means a great deal to us,' she stressed. First lady Michelle Obama and former first lady Laura Bush held a conversation on the need to invest in the futures of young girls and women at the U.S. - Africa Leaders Summit yesterday in Washington, D.C. The two women had a similar symposium in Tanzania last summer. On Wednesday they also discussed the importance of changing attitudes and behaviors toward women and girls, as well . The discussion was moderated by NPR's Cokie Roberts, right, who teased that the last time they all got together Obama was mired in a controversy over her new bangs . The first lady also used the symposium to talk about another issue she's been on the front lines of: childhood obesity. Roberts joked that Obama's daughters, Sasha and Malia, must tease their mother about the name of her Let's Move healthy eating and exercise initiative from time to time. 'I must say, with teenage daughters. . . I would suspect that sometimes they say to you, let’s move, mom.' 'Yes, you’ve been sitting at our dining room table, Cokie?' Obama said. 'Well, you know, every teenager has a little smart aleck in them, it’s true.' Turning serious, Obama said that she and her husband have found that their children really do listen to them. 'They take on these new messages even when we don’t think they’re paying attention.' 'And that’s one of the things that we try to tell parents,' she said, 'you don’t know that they’re listening, but I see how my children make different decisions about what they eat now as teenagers now that they have control because they have the information about how food affects their overall health and their ability to perform.' The event was part of a portion of the summit for spouses. After the conservation Michelle Obama dined with several first spouses of African countries, including the First lady of Tanzania Salma Kikwete, who sat to her left . Roberts noted that despite having the best of intentions, Obama has 'gotten some blowback' over her campaign. 'I know that you both get into these things and you’re doing them for the good of the country, and suddenly you get criticized for it. And it must just be such a shock in a way,' she said, addressing both Obama and Bush. 'Well, I was not that shocked,' Bush told her. After having watched her husband's parents' experience in the White House from afar, Bush said she was prepared 'to be characterized in a way that you aren’t, really.' 'And so I don’t think it was any big surprise to me,' she said. 'That doesn’t make it any less hurtful.' Obama backed her Republican counterpart up, saying her take on criticism directed at the first family is 'absolutely true.' 'And that’s really the role of leadership,' she said. ' It’s not about amassing power; it’s taking some of those hits and continuing to do the work, even when it’s painful and sometimes unappreciated.' That is why it's important for first ladies to stay focused on their 'vision,' she said. 'Because if you have your vision and you know what you’re passionate about, and you know what direction you’re going in, then all of the arrows and the spears and the criticisms . . they bounce off of you because you keep doing the work every day.' They might pinch a little bit,' Obama said. 'You might get shot in the eye. 'You just sort of go to the doctor, patch yourself up and get back in the game,' she said.
The first lady also questioned whether young African men 'truly believe that women can be your equal' Obama said she's focused her outreach to girls on Africa because the continent 'is very personal to me . . . Africa is home for us' The first lady admitted it's hurtful to be criticized for the work she does on behalf of the country but said it comes with the territory . 'All of the arrows and the spears and the criticisms . . they bounce off of you because you keep doing the work every day,' she said .

By . Ian Parkes . One of West Brom's sponsors that threatened to withdraw its support during the Nicolas Anelka "quenelle" saga earlier this year has signed a new deal with the club. Jack Wolfskin, an outdoor clothing, footwear and equipment specialist, considered ending their sponsorship of Albion 'as one option' as the debate rumbled on during January over a controversial gesture made by Anelka during a Barclays Premier League game at West Ham in December. Anelka was handed a five-game ban and fined £80,000 following an independent regulatory commission hearing, following which Albion immediately suspended the striker. Controversial: Nicolas Anelka performed the "quenelle" gesture during December's match at West Ham . In March, after Anelka announced on his Twitter account he would tear up his West Brom contract, the club then issued a subsequent statement saying the 35-year-old had been sacked for 'gross misconduct'. With the matter now laid to rest, Jack Wolfskin has agreed to a one-year extension of an agreement that started at the beginning of the 2013-14 campaign. Albion's head of corporate sales Ian Wain said on the club's official website: 'We are delighted to extend our partnership to a second year. 'These are exciting times as the club prepares for a fifth successive season of Barclays Premier League football and it is great to have an internationally-renowned brand such as Jack Wolfskin on board.' Jack Wolfskin CMO Elke Stein said: 'We are delighted to continue our successful partnership with Albion which will continue to increase our brand recognition in the UK alongside our other club partnerships and LED presence across the Premier League.'

By . Australian Associated Press . North Melbourne coach Brad Scott has looked to draw a line under Brian Lake and Drew Petrie's infamous scrap in last Friday night's AFL game. Lake was suspended for four games on Tuesday after having his misconduct charge sent directly to the tribunal. The panel was unswayed by Lake's evidence that he was not trying to grab Petrie's throat, but rather his jumper around the collarbone area. Scroll down for video . Hawthorn's Brian Lake was suspend for four games on Tuesday after choking North Melbourne's Drew Petrie in an AFL game last Friday . The tribunal's panel were unswayed by Lake's evidence that he was not trying to grab Petrie's throat, but rather his jumper around the collarbone area . Scott was unwilling to offer his opinion about Lake's ban or actions - a self-admittedly reserved approach for a coach that is known for being anything but. 'That's a question for Drew. Drew hasn't told me and it's irrelevant to me,' Scott said on Wednesday when asked if Lake had apologised to Petrie. 'It's not really for me to comment. There's going to be plenty of opinion about that (Lake's ban). 'Our concern is for our player and that's it. The footy world can debate the Lake and Hawthorn side of it. Once Drew left the tribunal I turned it off.' North Melbourne coach Brad Scott has not commented on Lake's ban and said the club's concern was for Petrie . After the rearing, Lake expressed remorse reported The Age. 'It’s been a tough couple of days for myself and my family. It's great to come here and get my point across on what happened,' he said. 'I respect the jury’s decision on the four weeks. Now, I've just got to look forward to a tough four-week period of training to get my body right. Leading into the finals I've got three game to get my match fitness and look for a big September.' Prior to Lake's case, Petrie fronted the tribunal for making unreasonable and unnecessary contact to the face of the 2013 Norm Smith medallist. The forward escaped with a reprimand for lashing out at Lake, but was not stung with any carryover points as the match review panel had intended. After the hearing, Lake said he respected the jury's decision to suspend him for four weeks . Petire explained to the tribunal that Lake's right arm had trapped him in a headlock, when he reached up with his hand to push himself out of that position for his own safety, The Age reported. Unable to see, he said he pushed Lake for only two seconds and stopped immediately when he realised he had come into contact with Lake's face. Petrie said Lake was in a 'dominant' and 'aggressive' position on his head as they wrestled. 'I knew I had to push out of that position to prevent any damage to myself,' Petrie told the tribunal. 'We wanted to defend Drew at the tribunal and make sure that he went into the back half of the year without anything hanging over his head,' Scott said.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 08:00 EST, 24 December 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 09:00 EST, 24 December 2012 . Chelsea Clinton is set to become the new face of the Clinton family political dynasty as mother Hillary exits the stage after 31 years of public service. The New York resident, now 32, is being tipped to follow in the footsteps of both her mother and  former-president father and play an increasingly prominent role in public life. Hillary will step down from the helm at the State Department early in the New Year to be replaced by Sen. John Kerry - and will take a long break before her rumoured run for the White House. Now experts quoted in Politico.com are saying Chelsea is ready to take her place as the 'young Clinton' to pave the way for Hillary's Democratic presidential bid. Family ties: Chelsea Clinton looks set to become the new public face of her family's political dynasty as her mother Hillary steps down from the helm at the State Department . As a young girl growing up in the White . House, Chelsea was the subject of massive public fascination, although . her parents are credited with succeeding in protecting her from much of . the media frenzy. And it seems she has not been put off a political career - she joined the board of the Clinton Foundation a few years ago and in July, accompanied her father to Africa on a foundation mission. In 2011 she made what was effectively her first step major in politics on her own, volunteering in campaign to pass New York's gay marriage law. Public life: Chelsea Clinton speaks at the '12-12-12' concert for victims of Hurricane Sandy earlier this month . It is rumoured that she managed to convince her father to change his views on the issue. She is now involved in both the Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Health Access Initiative and was also seen interviewing her mother at a Clinton Global Initiative event last year. Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, a staunch Hillary Clinton backer in her 2008 primary campaign, believes Chelsea could soon be securing the Clinton political legacy for many years to come. He told Politico.com: 'I think she could be a powerhouse. 'She has just, in my judgment, grown up into a person of considerable skill and competence. 'I don’t know if she has a personal goal in elected politics or not, or exactly what her life goals may be, but she certainly has a lot of rich personal experience as a result of [her upbringing].' While a Chelsea candidacy still appears a long way off - she was still only a teenager when her mother first ran for the Senate in New York in 2000 - she has gradually become a confident public speaker. Brian Ellner, an activist who organized the New York marriage campaign told Politico: 'Chelsea Clinton speaks for her generation of young Americans who support marriage equality by wide margins, no matter what race or gender or even party. 'She has enormous credibility on the issue dating back to her work on the New York campaign.' In a recent interview with Vogue Magazine Chelsea gave a rare insight into what it was like growing up in the White House. Chelsea is now on the board of the Clinton Foundation and in July she accompanied her father to Africa on a foundation mission . She revealed:  “I was very aware of why we were there and that I was living among history. 'One of the things that my parents did a good job of was talking with me about their work. 'So at the end of the day, over dinner, I would tell them what I learned in biology class and my mother would tell me about advocating for women’s health around the world, and my dad would talk about the budget fight or what was happening in advance of a trip he was planning to Russia. 'I knew that we were having a different type of conversation than most of my friends, but there were normal rhythms that we started in Arkansas that very much carried through.' Hillary will step down from the helm at the State Department early in the New Year. She will be replaced by Sen. John Kerry. It is rumoured she is planning for a second run at the presidency, although this is something she has continued to deny. The way we were: Chelsea as a frizzy-haired youth joins her mother and father on the campaign trail in 1992 .

UPDATED: . 09:00 EST, 24 December 2012 . Chelsea Clinton is set to become the new face of the Clinton family political dynasty as mother Hillary exits the stage after 31 years of public service. The New York resident, now 32, is being tipped to follow in the footsteps of both her mother and  former-president father and play an increasingly prominent role in public life. Hillary will step down from the helm at the State Department early in the New Year to be replaced by Sen. John Kerry - and will take a long break before her rumoured run for the White House. Now experts quoted in Politico.com are saying Chelsea is ready to take her place as the 'young Clinton' to pave the way for Hillary's Democratic presidential bid. Family ties: Chelsea Clinton looks set to become the new public face of her family's political dynasty as her mother Hillary steps down from the helm at the State Department . As a young girl growing up in the White . House, Chelsea was the subject of massive public fascination, although . her parents are credited with succeeding in protecting her from much of . the media frenzy. And it seems she has not been put off a political career - she joined the board of the Clinton Foundation a few years ago and in July, accompanied her father to Africa on a foundation mission. In 2011 she made what was effectively her first step major in politics on her own, volunteering in campaign to pass New York's gay marriage law. Public life: Chelsea Clinton speaks at the '12-12-12' concert for victims of Hurricane Sandy earlier this month . It is rumoured that she managed to convince her father to change his views on the issue. She is now involved in both the Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Health Access Initiative and was also seen interviewing her mother at a Clinton Global Initiative event last year. Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, a staunch Hillary Clinton backer in her 2008 primary campaign, believes Chelsea could soon be securing the Clinton political legacy for many years to come. He told Politico.com: 'I think she could be a powerhouse. 'She has just, in my judgment, grown up into a person of considerable skill and competence. 'I don’t know if she has a personal goal in elected politics or not, or exactly what her life goals may be, but she certainly has a lot of rich personal experience as a result of [her upbringing].' While a Chelsea candidacy still appears a long way off - she was still only a teenager when her mother first ran for the Senate in New York in 2000 - she has gradually become a confident public speaker. Brian Ellner, an activist who organized the New York marriage campaign told Politico: 'Chelsea Clinton speaks for her generation of young Americans who support marriage equality by wide margins, no matter what race or gender or even party. 'She has enormous credibility on the issue dating back to her work on the New York campaign.' In a recent interview with Vogue Magazine Chelsea gave a rare insight into what it was like growing up in the White House. Chelsea is now on the board of the Clinton Foundation and in July she accompanied her father to Africa on a foundation mission . She revealed:  “I was very aware of why we were there and that I was living among history. 'One of the things that my parents did a good job of was talking with me about their work. 'So at the end of the day, over dinner, I would tell them what I learned in biology class and my mother would tell me about advocating for women’s health around the world, and my dad would talk about the budget fight or what was happening in advance of a trip he was planning to Russia. 'I knew that we were having a different type of conversation than most of my friends, but there were normal rhythms that we started in Arkansas that very much carried through.' Hillary will step down from the helm at the State Department early in the New Year. She will be replaced by Sen. John Kerry. It is rumoured she is planning for a second run at the presidency, although this is something she has continued to deny. The way we were: Chelsea as a frizzy-haired youth joins her mother and father on the campaign trail in 1992 .

By . Sam Creighton . On a gloriously sunny day, lazily sailing down the Thames in your own luxury boat is a lifestyle most people can only dream of. But for the would-be captain of a £1 million boat, it all went wrong when he forgot a cardinal maritime rule - always look where you are going. A Princess V57, called Victoria, gave sunbathers a shock this afternoon by careering straight into Richmond Bridge in west London. Scroll down for video . The luxury yacht was trying to drive under Richmond Bridge but high tides made the manoeuvre difficult . The crash happened just before 4pm this afternoon. According to the Port of London Authority (PLA), the boat - which retails for over the £1 million mark - miraculously came out of the accident without any real damage. Also, none of the passengers were injured. A spokesman for the PLA said: 'At about 15.49 she was coming under Richmond Road Bridge and struck the side, she seems to have reversed her engines and attempted the manouevre again successfully. More... That's no way to park! Driver smashes through fence and flips his Ford Fiesta to land upside down in a back garden - but manages to CRAWL out unscathed . House obliterated by pensioner, 72, who rammed her SKODA into neighbour's home . 'When a boat like this reverses, the engines can make quite a loud noise, so people might have thought it was more dramatic than it was. 'I think it was just a family day out, the only thing remarkable about it is that the weather was lovely, so everyone and their dog was out to see it. As far as I understand it was all over in a couple of minutes.' Caroline Fisher, 45, who witnessed the incident from her home by the bridge, said: 'It was really bizarre. I saw this big boat coming towards the bridge and just thought it was not going to fit through. 'There was just this big bang and then it seemed to be doing some sort of three point turn and there was another really loud bang. I thought some of the other boats around might have gone to help it but it just sat there for about ten minutes and then it went under the bridge and everyone started cheering. 'I'm sure it probably wasn't but it seemed like it was out of control. I was taking loads of pictures when it sailed by me but I couldn't really see any damage.' A RNLI lifeboat was called out to deal with the incident but, by the time it arrived, the yacht was already through the bridge and was continuing with its journey.

(CNN) -- A family is grieving and a Michigan community is in shock after a 9-year-old boy was stabbed to death at a playground in his neighborhood this week. The shock felt in Kentwood, just outside of Grand Rapids, is as much over the sudden and senseless loss of Michael Conner Verkerke as it is over the circumstances of his death: The person accused of stabbing him was a 12-year-old he had just met at the playground. Conner was playing with three other children Monday "when one of the children, for an unknown reason, pulled out a knife and repeatedly stabbed one of the other children," a Kentwood Police Department statement said. Police say the attacker is 12-year-old Jamarion Lawhorn. A motive, if there is one, is unknown at this point, as the boys were not acquainted, according to Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker. Lawhorn was charged Tuesday with murder. Though he'll be tried in a juvenile court, it will be as an adult, according to Becker, who added that his office has not yet decided whether the murder charges will be first or second degree. Charles Boekeloo, Lawhorn's court-appointed attorney, said he met his client for the first time at his arraignment Tuesday but had no further comment. Boekeloo entered a not guilty plea on the youth's behalf. Police said that after he was stabbed, Conner managed to run back home before he collapsed on the porch. An ambulance rushed him to a hospital, where he died Monday night. Lawhorn, meanwhile, "left the playground then went to a nearby residence where he asked to use the phone," Kentwood Chief of Police Thomas Hillen said. "I thought he was calling for his parents to come pick him up," homeowner Glen Stacy told CNN. He wasn't. "He called 911," he said. Stacy described Lawhorn as "calm and collected" throughout, and that he told the 911 dispatcher, "Hi, I just stabbed someone, please pick me up and come kill me, I want to end my life." The boy then calmly handed back the phone with the operator still on the line, according to Stacy, and they waited for police to arrive. "At no point did I feel threatened," he said. Stacy said that when the first officers arrived on the scene, they ran toward the playground, which was in the opposite direction. That prompted Lawhorn to raise his voice for the first time, according to Stacy. "Hey! I'm over here!" Stacy said he shouted. "Let's do this. I'm ready," he said as he walked toward them with his hands on his head, Stacy said. A competency hearing will be held soon, according to police, but Becker has already predicted an outcome: "My gut tells me they will go for an insanity plea," he said. One expert said that based on the circumstances and violent nature of the act, it would appear Lawhorn -- who turned 12 in March -- suffers from mental illness. "The instrument in this case says something about his state of mind," said Dr. Charles Williams, a child psychotherapist at Drexel University in Philadelphia. "It's easy to pick up a gun and shoot someone, but to stab someone repeatedly with a knife -- that's a very personal and very angry act from a psychological standpoint." In Kentwood, a GoFundMe page was established Tuesday to pay for Conner's funeral. By Wednesday evening, 166 people donated more than $7,000 for the cause. Lawhorn is being held at the Kent County Detention Center. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for August 13. Girl charged in Slenderman stabbing deemed incompetent . Suspect in stabbing of 2 children in Brooklyn elevator pleads not guilty . Police: Girl, 14, stabs sister 40 times because she felt unappreciated . Two adopted brothers found dead; oldest brother arrested . Boy, 12, pleads not guilty to killing younger sister . CNN's Marlena Baldacci contributed to this report.

By . Associated Press . PUBLISHED: . 01:15 EST, 11 June 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 01:16 EST, 11 June 2013 . The mother of a gunman who fatally shot five people during a chaotic spate of violence last week said the shooter's father threatened to kill her on at least two occasions during their tumultuous marriage, according to court records obtained Monday by The Associated Press. In a 1998 request for a restraining order, gunman John Zawahri's mother, Randa Abdou, wrote that her husband once told her: 'If I had a gun it would be over.' Abdou also said her husband had threatened to take their two young sons to Canada after the couple separated at the time, and that he once punched her and stole her jewelry, purse and divorce papers she had started filling out. Authorities said John Zawahri, 23, shot his father, Samir Zawahri, and his brother, Christopher Zawahri, on Friday, leaving their home in flames before shooting at strangers in cars and at Santa Monica College during a 15-minute rampage. Pictured: John Zawahri, 23, in his Santa Monica High School yearbook. Zawahri killed five and was himself killed by police after a 15 minute shooting spree Friday that ended at Santa Monica College . Senseless: Zawahri, 23, is seen here in high school at bottom, second from right.

By . Mike Jaccarino . PUBLISHED: . 11:45 EST, 4 August 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 13:42 EST, 4 August 2012 . An Oregon school bus driver has won the right to fly a Confederate Flag emblazoned with the word 'redneck' from his truck  as he drives to work - after a court ruled school administrators who banned it were violating the Constitution's First Amendment. Kenneth Webber, 28, filed a freedom-of-speech suit against Oregon's Jackson County School District 4, and reportedly won the first round of legal sallies when a federal magistrate  recommended on Thursday the case proceed to trial. 'The law governing Webber's First Amendment rights is clearly established,' Magistrate Judge Mark Clarke reportedly concluded. 'The display of a flag is an act of symbolic expression protected under the First Amendment.' Kenneth Webber proudly displays the Confederate flag emblazoned with the word "Redneck'' that got him fired from an Oregon school district . A second federal judge - who will potentially preside over Webber v. First Student, Inc. at trial - must now decide whether to accept Clarke's recommendation and schedule the matter for a courtroom proceeding, The Christian Science Monitor reported. As for Webber, he defiantly declared to The Associated Press, 'My flag will fly. No one here is gonna tell me what I can and can't believe in.' The imbroglio began in February 2011 when district Superintendent Ben Bergreen first noticed the iconic Confederate battle flag prominently hoisted atop the CB antenna protruding heavenward from Webber’s pick-up truck. The maker of the flag had emblazoned the word, 'Redneck' across its breadth. Webber reportedly said his father had made a birthday gift of it to him in 2009. 'My flag will fly. No one here is gonna tell me what I can and can't believe in.' Webber, who resides in Medford, is an affable, portly sort and married father of four, who had driven for First Student, Inc., a contracted bus provider to the K-to-12 school district in Jackson County, for the previous four years. Specifically, Webber drove a kindergarten bus for Talent Elementary School. He attends nearby Rogue Community College and harbors hopes of one day getting a degree in juvenile corrections. On one of his ample arms, he sports an American flag and the words '100 per cent American.' On his other, beefy limb, a second tattoo features tears bleeding into a Confederate flag along the words 'Pure Redneck.' 'I believe in God and know he'll get us through this,' he reportedly said last year. After noticing the flag, Superintendent Bergreen ordered First Student, Inc. bosses to force Webber to surrender it, or else park in a public spot somewhere off school grounds. The district owns the bus yard where Webber had been parking his personal vehicle, and leases it to First Student, Inc. Like the classic characters on the hit T.V. show, The Dukes of Hazzard, Webber claims he is a tried-and-true 'Red Neck' 'The fact is, our district is about 37 per cent minority students,' Bergreen told the AP in 2011. 'It's fairly common knowledge that the Confederate battle flag is perceived by folks as a racist or negative symbol. The Southern Poverty Law Center said more than 500 extremist groups use it as one of their symbols.'We have a policy,' he added. 'It's about displaying symbols on school property that were racist, or had (the) potential to be seen as racist.' But Webber complained that the nearest public spot was one mile's walk to the bus yard, and so he refused.  Supervisors first suspended him for his intransigence; then fired him over it. Webber feels the issue is one of principle. Born in Riverside, Calif., Webber regaled an AP reporter about how his family moved around the country as his father was transferred from Air Force base to Air Force base, until they settled in Southern Oregon when he was 11. Like Webber's beloved pick-up truck, The Dukes' favored mode of transportation, The General Lee, also sported a huge Confederate flag . As children, he and friends considered themselves 'backyard rednecks.' They hunted, fished, roamed the mountains, and drove ATVs in the mud. He dropped out of high school before tackling corrections in college. Webber said flying the flag had nothing to do with racism, extremist groups or politics. 'When you've got the word 'Redneck' going straight across (the flag), it takes away that whole thing (about racism),' Webber said. 'It's just about standing up for what you . believe in. This is one thing I'm doing. It ain't coming down.' Magistrate Clarke said in his ruling that he found no evidence the flag had disrupted school operations, or that any of the district's students had even laid eyes on Webber's flag while it flew atop his parked truck in the bus yard. 'When you've got the word 'Redneck' going straight across (the flag), it takes away that whole thing (about racism). It's just about standing up for what you . believe in. This is one thing I'm doing. It ain't coming down.' 'The U.S. Supreme Court has held that it is ‘a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment... that the government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds (it) offensive or disagreeable,’' said John Whitehead, whose Rutherford Institute is representing Webber in his legal plight, to the AP. 'Ken Webber’s case is a clear example of what happens when free speech and political correctness collide.' 'I work for what I have,' Webber said.  'I support my family. It's just who I am. I'm a redneck. It's a way of life.'

Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (CNN) -- Rescuers planned to search for survivors under a mountain of concrete and twisted metal Friday night after a high-rise building collapsed in Tanzania. At least four people were dead and 60 were missing after the 16-story building under construction collapsed in Tanzania's largest city, government and emergency officials said. Five children are believed to be among the missing, rescue official Walji Ali said. The building collapsed Friday with a "huge whoosh and then thump," said eyewitness Ali Jawad Bhimani, a hotel owner who lives near the building in Dar es Salaam's normally bustling Kariakoo central business district. "The fallen building is next to our mosque. There is a small field there where the young boys play football. The building fell right on top," he said. "But 10 to 15 of the boys playing got away safely and are unharmed." A statement from the nearby mosque said that four of the boys believed to have been playing there were still missing. Police and search dogs quickly flooded the scene, Bhimani said. By Friday evening, the dogs were gone, replaced by heavy equipment being used to remove debris, he said. The Tanzanian Red Cross said rescue efforts would continue through the night. But the group also expressed relief that the casualty figures could have been far higher but the streets were relatively empty of vendors and shoppers due to a holiday. "So far we have managed to rescue live at least 13 people and four dead bodies, two were seriously injured," Stella Marealle from the Red Cross said. In addition to the deaths, at least 17 people were injured, said Suleiman Kova, a regional police commander. Construction workers were among those injured, Ali said. CNN's Sara Mazloumsaki and Brian Walker contributed to this report.

One of Britain’s leading children’s brain doctors snorted cocaine and an illegal party drug just before going on call at a major NHS hospital. Shocking video footage shows Dr Colin Ferrie asking for a syringe to measure out the powerful sedative - a so-called ‘date rape drug’ known as GHB - before leaning over a kitchen worktop to consume a long line of cocaine. Over nearly two debauched hours, in blatant contravention of hospital rules, the consultant paediatric neurologist took dose after dose of the highly addictive GHB and snorted nearly three grams of cocaine with an acquaintance. Yet just over an hour later, the switchboard operator at Leeds General Infirmary where he works confirmed Dr Ferrie was on call – a role that involves making life-or-death decisions about his young patients, who suffer from disorders such as epilepsy and brain tumours. Following The Mail on Sunday’s investigation, the hospital has ordered an urgent inquiry and suspended the consultant from clinical work. Last night, patients’ groups said families would be horrified that a doctor looking after children could be taking mind-altering substances. Joyce Robins, co-director of Patient Concern, said: ‘You can’t have somebody taking things like that making life-or-death decisions.’ Hospital rules, as laid out by the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, state staff should not take any substances that affect judgment either before starting shifts or while on duty, including on call. Yet Dr Ferrie’s recorded comments and texts to his acquaintance suggest intimate familiarity with illegal recreational drugs. In the film footage, taken by his companion, Scots-born Dr Ferrie is shown snorting a long line of cocaine after declaring: ‘Looking good, that.’ The drug can make users over-confident and impair decision- making abilities. It can also lead to fatal overdoses. Those caught in possession of the Class A narcotic can be jailed for up to seven years. After snorting the cocaine, Dr Ferrie turns to his acquaintance, takes the bottle of GHB – which he refers to as ‘G’ – and measures out a dose with a teaspoon and mixes it with blackcurrant squash. The doctor warns: ‘You’ve got to be careful – really careful – that you don’t take too much of this stuff.’ He also says: ‘I love to have a wee spot of this stuff.’ When his companion says that he finds ‘it [G] hard to get hold of,’ Dr Ferrie tells him: ‘I get mine in Manchester.’ GHB – or Gamma-hydroxybutyrate – is popular with clubbers for loosening inhibitions, but its sedative effects when slipped into drinks mean it is also known as a date-rape drug. It is often referred to as liquid ecstasy. Government websites warn it can lead to ‘unconsciousness, coma and death’ as well as causing memory loss and affecting judgment. Dr Ferrie also expresses his fondness for crystal meth – which he refers to by the street name ‘Tina’ – a dangerously addictive Class A drug, the effects of which can last for days. Dr Ferrie, 51, is regarded as one of the foremost experts on childhood epilepsy and holds national and international posts on prestigious bodies. In 2007 he was part of a training team that received a Joint Epilepsy Council award, he is the national training adviser for the British Paediatric Neurology Association and has given evidence in court cases and inquests about children who have had seizures, including at a murder trial. Married with a teenage daughter, Dr Ferrie has worked at Leeds General Infirmary for 18 years, while his wife Elaine is a nurse in its neonatal intensive care unit. But just before Christmas he took time out to consume a cocktail of drugs while officially ‘on call’ for his patients. Dr Ferrie’s secret life was brought to this paper’s attention by an acquaintance who said that they had met on 20 occasions since last June, consuming illegal drugs each time. ‘He told me he was a doctor and that he worked at the teaching hospital in Leeds, but never went into any detail,’ said the man. ‘It is only very recently I discovered that he was working with brain-injured children. I was totally shocked that someone with that much responsibility would take so many hard drugs.’ On Wednesday, December 17, the eminent consultant took the train from his home in a village near Bradford to London on business but as soon as he started his return journey, he began making preparations for his depraved pastime. In a series of text messages, arrangements were made for three grams of cocaine to be brought to an early-evening meeting at the acquaintance’s house, while Dr Ferrie said he would bring GHB. Dr Ferrie asked: ‘What can you get and how much is it?’ When his acquaintance claimed he ‘can get coke’ for £30, Dr Ferrie replied: ‘OK. Get three,’ adding: ‘I have some G.’ Arriving at the man’s smart semi-detached house in Bradford at 4.40pm, Dr Ferrie wasted no time in indulging his habit. He immediately produced his bottle of GHB with the words, ‘You’re gonna like that’, before placing it next to the pile of cocaine waiting for him on the kitchen counter. Gesturing to the cocaine, he said it was ‘looking good’ before giving a throaty chuckle. He asked for a syringe to measure out the liquid GHB. ‘You got a syringe to measure this out?’ he asked the man. ‘Have I got a what?’ ‘Like a syringe to measure this G out,’ he repeated. The man asked the doctor what flavour squash he wanted to mix it with. ‘Do you want orange, apple or blackcurrant?’, to which the doctor replied: ‘Yeah, whatever, it doesn’t matter.’ The video then clearly showed him snorting a long line of cocaine from a chopping board. Still short of a syringe, Dr Ferrie then started to look for a spoon. ‘Have you got a teaspoon anywhere? Is there one in this drawer?’ ‘Middle drawer,’ said the man. Dr Ferrie then stirred the cocktail of ‘G’ and juice. He offered the drink to his acquaintance, who declined, then, after a gulp of the liquid and a line of cocaine, the pair headed to another part of the house, carrying the drugs with them. There, the conversation continued with further lines of cocaine and gulps of GHB being taken by the doctor at roughly 20-minute intervals. In a tape-recorded conversation, the doctor extolled the pleasures of crystal meth. He asked his acquaintance: ‘Have you ever done Tina? I would love to do Tina with you one time. It is methamphetamine. Two days later, you still feel it.’ As he prepared to leave, he asked: ‘Do you want me to leave you that G? You had it before? One thing – you need at least an hour between hits, right, and you need to measure it properly.’ After a final line of cocaine, the doctor left the house, jumping into his battered Audi A4 and speeding away. Within a minute of leaving at 6.30pm, he pulled up on a side road and following a ten-minute phone call, drove off at speed but not to his marital home. In a phone call to Leeds General Infirmary at 7.45pm, just over an hour after he left the Bradford house, The Mail on Sunday was told that Dr Ferrie was ‘on call’ although the receptionist was unable to say whether he was in the hospital or at home. The next day he left the luxury detached home which he shares with his wife and daughter at 7.10am, from where he commuted to Leeds General, arriving just after 8am. A spokesman for Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust said: ‘We take any allegations of this nature extremely seriously and will be carrying out a thorough investigation. Patient safety is our main priority and we expect all members of staff to behave in a professional and appropriate manner at all times.

The Trust will offer confidential support and counselling through the occupational health department and, where appropriate, by referral to external agencies.’ Dr Ferrie did not respond to requests for comment. The doctor could also face misconduct proceedings from the General Medical Council.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.One of Britain’s leading children’s brain doctors snorted cocaine and an illegal party drug just before going on call at a major NHS hospital. Shocking video footage shows Dr Colin Ferrie asking for a syringe to measure out the powerful sedative - a so-called ‘date rape drug’ known as GHB - before leaning over a kitchen worktop to consume a long line of cocaine. Over nearly two debauched hours, in blatant contravention of hospital rules, the consultant paediatric neurologist took dose after dose of the highly addictive GHB and snorted nearly three grams of cocaine with an acquaintance. Yet just over an hour later, the switchboard operator at Leeds General Infirmary where he works confirmed Dr Ferrie was on call – a role that involves making life-or-death decisions about his young patients, who suffer from disorders such as epilepsy and brain tumours. Following The Mail on Sunday’s investigation, the hospital has ordered an urgent inquiry and suspended the consultant from clinical work. Last night, patients’ groups said families would be horrified that a doctor looking after children could be taking mind-altering substances. Joyce Robins, co-director of Patient Concern, said: ‘You can’t have somebody taking things like that making life-or-death decisions.’ Hospital rules, as laid out by the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, state staff should not take any substances that affect judgment either before starting shifts or while on duty, including on call. Yet Dr Ferrie’s recorded comments and texts to his acquaintance suggest intimate familiarity with illegal recreational drugs. In the film footage, taken by his companion, Scots-born Dr Ferrie is shown snorting a long line of cocaine after declaring: ‘Looking good, that.’ The drug can make users over-confident and impair decision- making abilities. It can also lead to fatal overdoses. Those caught in possession of the Class A narcotic can be jailed for up to seven years. After snorting the cocaine, Dr Ferrie turns to his acquaintance, takes the bottle of GHB – which he refers to as ‘G’ – and measures out a dose with a teaspoon and mixes it with blackcurrant squash. The doctor warns: ‘You’ve got to be careful – really careful – that you don’t take too much of this stuff.’ He also says: ‘I love to have a wee spot of this stuff.’ When his companion says that he finds ‘it [G] hard to get hold of,’ Dr Ferrie tells him: ‘I get mine in Manchester.’ GHB – or Gamma-hydroxybutyrate – is popular with clubbers for loosening inhibitions, but its sedative effects when slipped into drinks mean it is also known as a date-rape drug. It is often referred to as liquid ecstasy. Government websites warn it can lead to ‘unconsciousness, coma and death’ as well as causing memory loss and affecting judgment. Dr Ferrie also expresses his fondness for crystal meth – which he refers to by the street name ‘Tina’ – a dangerously addictive Class A drug, the effects of which can last for days. Dr Ferrie, 51, is regarded as one of the foremost experts on childhood epilepsy and holds national and international posts on prestigious bodies. In 2007 he was part of a training team that received a Joint Epilepsy Council award, he is the national training adviser for the British Paediatric Neurology Association and has given evidence in court cases and inquests about children who have had seizures, including at a murder trial. Married with a teenage daughter, Dr Ferrie has worked at Leeds General Infirmary for 18 years, while his wife Elaine is a nurse in its neonatal intensive care unit. But just before Christmas he took time out to consume a cocktail of drugs while officially ‘on call’ for his patients. Dr Ferrie’s secret life was brought to this paper’s attention by an acquaintance who said that they had met on 20 occasions since last June, consuming illegal drugs each time. ‘He told me he was a doctor and that he worked at the teaching hospital in Leeds, but never went into any detail,’ said the man. ‘It is only very recently I discovered that he was working with brain-injured children. I was totally shocked that someone with that much responsibility would take so many hard drugs.’ On Wednesday, December 17, the eminent consultant took the train from his home in a village near Bradford to London on business but as soon as he started his return journey, he began making preparations for his depraved pastime. In a series of text messages, arrangements were made for three grams of cocaine to be brought to an early-evening meeting at the acquaintance’s house, while Dr Ferrie said he would bring GHB. Dr Ferrie asked: ‘What can you get and how much is it?’ When his acquaintance claimed he ‘can get coke’ for £30, Dr Ferrie replied: ‘OK.

(CNN) -- As criticism of his war on organized crime mounts, Mexican President Felipe Calderon is under increasing pressure to introduce a new security policy. Calderon, who announced a crackdown on cartels shortly after taking office in 2006, has asked his country's congress to approve fresh measures to help in the fight. Police reforms are a key target of his administration. "Our primary objective is to ensure that no matter who governs or which party he belongs, the Mexicans are protected by an honest and professional police, by an effective and transparent justice system," Calderon told his nation's security council when he announced the proposed reforms in June. But taking a new tack in the controversial drug war may be difficult for Calderon, as vocal politicians express their skepticism. The president's political future -- and Mexico's security -- hang in the balance. Calderon, whose term ends in 2012, has proposed a plan to eliminate more than 2,000 local police forces, combine them with state law enforcement agencies and unite them under federal control. He and his top security officials have argued that the move will better combat corruption and crime. "This initiative is a response to the people's demand to have reliable police, and the necessity to strengthen the institutions of security in order to face the criminals that plague Mexico," he said earlier this year. Federal officials have said the lower salaries of local police officers make them more susceptible to corruption. More than half of them receive monthly salaries of only 4,000 pesos (about $325). Government estimates indicate that corruption has caused the dismissal of 3,000 police officers in recent years. While some lawmakers support the reform, others are critical of the current strategy, which has the Mexican military as the principal enforcers of public security. Calderon's government has dispatched about 50,000 troops to the nation's trouble spots. "The big question for us in congress is, 'how long we will have armed forces at the forefront of the fight?'" lawmaker Carlos Navarrete said. Calderon has said the military will not retreat in the short term, but a police overhaul would be a key step in guaranteeing security. Mexican Secretary of Public Security Genaro Garcia Luna has also proposed eliminating 2,000 local councils to strengthen security in areas with a strong presence of organized crime. But some Mexican politicians have said they are skeptical that such reforms will do much to combat corruption. Alejandro Gertz Manero of the left-wing Convergence Party has suggested the legislation would only be financially profitable for certain parties within congress and politically advantageous for certain officials, principally that of Calderon's right-wing National Action Party. "So basically what's in this [legislation] is something that is in the interest of the local mayors, who are not from the same party as the governors," he said. Meanwhile, Calderon's administration has said it is dealing severe blows to organized crime, citing such examples as the seizure of an estimated $12 billion in drugs. The Mexican navy has also had high profile takedowns of drug kingpins, including the capture of American-born cartel boss Edgar Villarreal alias "La Barbie." But with persistent public perception about drug cartels gaining ground, Calderon has a tough battle to fight before his term ends in 2012. A top official in Mexico's opposition Institutional Revolutionary Party has said the war on drugs cannot succeed if it remains a "fight of firepower between criminals and the state." Mexico's government must create jobs and improve education to help fight drug trafficking, Sen. Manlio Fabio Beltrones Rivera said. "We have seen 30,000 people die in the past four years," he said. "And we are very close to seeing, at the end of this six-year term, an equal number of dead as in the Vietnam War." CNN's Catherine E. Shoichet and Mario Gonzalez contributed to this report.

(CNN) -- Moscow, Russia, authorities have cut the daily sales hours for beverages with more than 15 percent alcohol, making it illegal to buy such beverages in stores between 10 p.m. and 10 a.m., according to Russian state-run news agency RIA-Novosti. The move, which reduces by three hours a day the time those beverages can be sold in stores, will go into effect at the beginning of September, RIA-Novosti said. The tightened limits on alcohol sales also prohibit local prefectures from issuing 24-hour sales permits to shops. The cut in sales hours doesn't affect bars, restaurants or night clubs in Moscow, which can still obtain 24-hour liquor licenses and serve beer, wine or bottled cocktails with less than 15 percent alcohol. The move is part of a continued effort led by the Kremlin to reduce Russia's drinking problem. It is a problem that annually leads to thousands of deaths and a male life expectancy lower than anywhere else in Europe. The new law will only affect the Moscow region because there is no nationwide alcohol sales regulation, leaving alcohol available on store shelves 24 hours a day throughout the rest of the country, according to RIA-Novosti.

But yesterday heartbroken teenager Lauren White was left with only the gift of a ring and memories of the boyfriend cruelly taken from her in a fatal car crash on Christmas Eve.

(CNN) -- The America's Cup is the oldest sporting trophy in the world, first held in 1851, forty-five years before the incarnation of the modern Olympic Games. The "Auld Mug" as it is known in the sport of sailing has attracted some of the world's most powerful men to create teams and invest millions to try and get their hands on the trophy. This month on MainSail, Shirley Robertson takes the viewer inside the world of the America's Cup, looking back to when it all started and meeting some of the major names associated with the Cup. This includes the two most successful skippers ever to compete, America's Dennis Connor and New Zealand's Russell Coutts. She also has an exclusive one to one with U.S. billionaire Larry Ellison, the man in charge of the American team, BMW Oracle Racing, who is plotting and planning how to bring the Cup back to the U.S., the nation that won every edition of the Cup from 1851 to 1983. The next America's Cup final is scheduled to be held in 2010, with Ellison and his team taking on the Defenders of the Cup, European team Alinghi. But this Cup has been a battle in the New York courts and all teams who want to compete have been locked out of the game until the head-to-head between the U.S. and Europe has been settled -- a compelling story even before the first match between the two teams has been held. When the first match takes place, it will be in the two fastest, most extreme boats ever to have competed in the America's Cup. Having already sailed the European Alinghi entry, Shirley Robertson becomes the first person in the world to have sailed both boats, as she joins the BMW Oracle Racing team in San Diego on board their spectacular multihull, and heads out for a Pacific Ocean training session.

Land's End customers have voiced their anger after receiving a copy of the latest GQ as a free gift with their catalog. The men's magazine, which features a topless Emily Ratajkowski on the cover, was distributed to select Land's End's subscribers as part of a deal the retailer had with publisher Conde Nast, according to the New York Times. Angry customers have taken to the brand's Facebook page, saying they were sent 'smut,' 'pornography,' and 'filth.' Probably not the best partnership! Land's End, a catalog that sells school uniforms and other conservative clothing, send its customers a free copy of GQ featuring a topless Emily Ratajkowski . 'My 14-year-old son brought in the mail today and was quite disturbed and fascinated by a "gift" Lands End sent us - a copy of GQ magazine with an absolutely OBSCENE cover!' said one recipient. 'While GQ may have been a reputable magazine at one time, today it seems to have sunken to the level of smut.' Another woman said: 'I have 8 wonderful and innocent little grandchildren for whom I purchase a lot of Land's End clothing, not to mention what I buy for myself. If one of them had seen that piece of trash in my mailbox, how would I explain the labels on their clothes?' One more mother echoed the sentiment: 'What part of me buying cute, age-appropriate kids clothing and a mom swimsuit made you think I wanted a subscription to GQ? My 12-year-old daughter brought in the mail and was quite horrified to see a magazine with a naked woman on the cover.' Outraged! Sue Skindell Bauman said 'words cannot express' how angry she is with the catalog . Angry! Molly Brown said she wouldn't have been able to explain the GQ to her eight 'wonderful and innocent' grandchildren . Furious! Sally Reed Woodson said her 12-year-old daughter was 'horrified to see a magazine with a naked woman on the cover' The company's CEO, Edgar Huber, issued an apology yesterday, saying he was 'truly sorry' and that there are 'simply no excuses' for the 'mistake.' 'When we entered into a year-long partnership with Conde Nast,' he said, 'our goal was to reward our valued customers with magazine subscriptions highlighting fashion and lifestyle topics. 'As a company, we are extremely apologetic that you have received this particular magazine on our behalf.' He said that all subscribers' names were removed from the GQ mailing list, and they would instead be receiving a subscription to Conde Nast Traveler. While some customers were impressed with the letter, others called it 'canned' or 'formulaic.' 'I think I was even more appalled at the excuse in the form of an apology,' said one customer. 'That they meant it as a gift to their male customers. That is absolutely disgusting and a major disrespect to your female customers.' Said another: 'Everything these days get diluted to "mistakes." How about a case of just plain "poor judgment" on the part of its execs!' Apology accepted? CEO Edgar Huber called the action 'a mistake' and there are 'no excuses' Not forgiven! Nancy Mandil said she was 'even more appalled at the excuse in the form of an apology' that Land's End sent customers . Watch what you say! Mary Lou Gallagher said Mr Huber should've called the company's error 'poor judgment' rather than a 'mistake' Not everyone was offended, however, and many people are defending the brand's actions, saying 'it's just breasts.' 'A topless woman isn't any more pornographic than a topless man,' said one woman on Facebook's public wall, 'Calling a topless woman pornographic is another form of body-shaming, and I'm thankful I grew up in a home where I was taught that a body is just a body.' 'A topless woman isn't any more pornographic than a topless man' A man also came to Land's End's defense: 'For some strange reason, partially exposed female breasts apparently seem to have a propensity to irreversibly damage young, innocent minds. Never mind the fact that these same young minds are exposed to blood, gore, war, religious extremism, bigotry, hatred, and violence with every click past a network news channel or daily newspaper cover.' Provocative! The Emily Ratajkowski images inside the magazine are just as provocative as the cover . It's not a big deal! Krissi Smyla says people are overreacting . Who cares? Make Sanford says children are exposed to things far worse than female breasts . Land's End was founded in 1963, and is based in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. Sears purchased the company in 2002 for $1.9 billion in cash, according to CNN.
The magazine features a topless picture of model Emily Ratajkowski on its cover . Land's End is known for its conservative clothing - including school uniforms - and monogrammed backpacks .

A farmer who lost 810 acres of land during last winter's floods was refused £11,000 compensation - after being told these aerial pictures showed 'insufficient evidence' of the damage. James Winslade was forced out of his farm in Bridgwater, Somerset and had to shift 550 cattle to safe havens after floodwater reached 12ft deep in some places. The cattle farmer was entitled to government funding to reseed his fields, but officials told him he would need to provide evidence of the damage. Scroll down for video . James Winslade lost 810 acres of land in Bridgwater, Somerset, during last winter's floods was refused £11,000 compensation because of 'insufficient evidence' The cattle farmer was entitled to government funding to reseed his fields, but officials told him he would need to provide evidence of the damage . Mr Winslade sent a collection of aerial images showing his land under almost eight ft of water to highlight the damage caused during the bad weather. But he was stunned when he received a response telling him the evidence he submitted was not sufficient to show his problems. The payment only came after a Department for the Environment and Rural Affairs sent an inspector to the farm - almost six months later. Mr Winslade, who became a figurehead during the flooding crisis, said: 'I think it could be far more simple. I know it's European money and that they need to be accountable to Europe but surely with every farm in and around Moorland that had been affected there should have been a far simpler system. He applied to the fund in April, and bought more than £11,000 worth of grass seed in May and June to start the regrowing process on his land . During the Christmas and New Year flooding he had to shift 550 cattle from West Yeo Farm and Newhouse Farm in Moorland on the Somerset Levels . The beef producer hoped to be paid back in instalments after buying the seed, but officials said there was 'insufficient damage' caused by the flooding . 'They could have sent someone out to inspect, and said, right you have done the job here is the money. 'I put in all the photographs back in April to show the damage but they said the photographs weren't good enough and didn't prove I was flooded. 'I couldn't believe it. They were aerial photographs of my parents' farmhouse and my farmhouse and of the land. Of 840 acres 810 was flooded.' He applied to the fund in April, and bought more than £11,000 worth of grass seed in May and June under a three-month payment plan. The beef producer hoped to be paid back in instalments after buying the seed, but he only received the funding six months later. Farming Minister George Eustice, defended the delay, saying officials did not have all the information needed at first to make the payment. He said: 'We went the extra mile and sent a Defra official out and he has been paid now. 'This is public money it is coming out of a European fund and there are lots of rules about the way you monitor and apply European funds.'

By . Steph Cockroft . Paul Jenkins, 35, from Caerau, south Wales, was jailed for 15 months after crashing into a mother-of-three while she called a taxi from the pavement . A mother was left fighting for her life after being hit by a schizophrenic motorist who claimed voices in his head told him to drink-drive. Paul Jenkins, 35, was driving while over the legal drink-drive limit in Maesteg, south Wales, when he swerved into 47-year-old Karen Tatchell, while she was standing on the pavement calling a taxi. Despite throwing Mrs Tatchell into the air, Jenkins failed to stop. He left the victim lying helpless on the ground outside the Llynfi Coach House, while her husband Huw was still inside. Jenkins, who had denied driving . dangerously, said he thought he might have been fiddling with . the car stereo when his car mounted the pavement. During the trial, he told the court: 'I didn’t see them - I’m devastated. I didn’t know I had hit anyone.' But Cardiff Crown Court heard Jenkins, who lives with his parents in Caerau, later claimed in a psychiatric report that voices had . told him to drive home after drinking. Defence . barrister Tim Evans said Jenkins - who had a previous conviction for drink-driving - was diagnosed with schizophrenia some years . ago and his mental health had deteriorated recently. Recorder Jeremy Jenkins said it was 'worrying' that 'voices' were apparently instrumental in what happened. Jenkins was jailed for 15 months after . being convicted of driving dangerously, being over the limit and failing . to stop after the accident. The court heard that, after the crash, he was found by police in his flat a couple of streets away, watching TV in his bedroom. They tracked him down after finding a broken wing mirror and matching it to the dark-coloured car in which Jenkins was driving. Meanwhile, the mother-of-three was left in a coma and still suffers problems with her memory. Home carer Gillian Fencott of Nantyffyllon told the court: 'My husband John was on my left and Karen in front of me and it happened so quick. 'I saw a car and next minute it mounted the kerb and they were both on the floor. I’d heard a ‘bang.... bang’ as they were hit. The car went on, swerving.' Karen Tatchell, 47, was left lying helpless on the ground after Jenkins failed to stop at the scene. She spent 'considerable time' in a coma and still suffers from memory problems . Witness Nicola Thomas said Mrs Tatchell had been calling for a taxi at the time. She said: 'I suddenly saw John going up in the air and landing right in front of me. I didn’t see it hit her but she was on the floor and John was trying to get up to help her.' Mrs Thomas’ daughter Jessica added: 'I saw a dark car coming down then up on to the pavement. It hit her, she went up and came down on her side.' The recorder told him: 'You made a conscious decision to drive home that night knowing you had been drinking and suspecting you might be over the limit.

Paul Jenkins, 35, from Caerau, south Wales, was jailed for 15 months after crashing into a mother-of-three while she called a taxi from the pavement . A mother was left fighting for her life after being hit by a schizophrenic motorist who claimed voices in his head told him to drink-drive. Paul Jenkins, 35, was driving while over the legal drink-drive limit in Maesteg, south Wales, when he swerved into 47-year-old Karen Tatchell, while she was standing on the pavement calling a taxi. Despite throwing Mrs Tatchell into the air, Jenkins failed to stop. He left the victim lying helpless on the ground outside the Llynfi Coach House, while her husband Huw was still inside. Jenkins, who had denied driving . dangerously, said he thought he might have been fiddling with . the car stereo when his car mounted the pavement. During the trial, he told the court: 'I didn’t see them - I’m devastated. I didn’t know I had hit anyone.' But Cardiff Crown Court heard Jenkins, who lives with his parents in Caerau, later claimed in a psychiatric report that voices had . told him to drive home after drinking. Defence . barrister Tim Evans said Jenkins - who had a previous conviction for drink-driving - was diagnosed with schizophrenia some years . ago and his mental health had deteriorated recently. Recorder Jeremy Jenkins said it was 'worrying' that 'voices' were apparently instrumental in what happened. Jenkins was jailed for 15 months after . being convicted of driving dangerously, being over the limit and failing . to stop after the accident. The court heard that, after the crash, he was found by police in his flat a couple of streets away, watching TV in his bedroom. They tracked him down after finding a broken wing mirror and matching it to the dark-coloured car in which Jenkins was driving. Meanwhile, the mother-of-three was left in a coma and still suffers problems with her memory. Home carer Gillian Fencott of Nantyffyllon told the court: 'My husband John was on my left and Karen in front of me and it happened so quick. 'I saw a car and next minute it mounted the kerb and they were both on the floor. I’d heard a ‘bang.... bang’ as they were hit. The car went on, swerving.' Karen Tatchell, 47, was left lying helpless on the ground after Jenkins failed to stop at the scene. She spent 'considerable time' in a coma and still suffers from memory problems . Witness Nicola Thomas said Mrs Tatchell had been calling for a taxi at the time. She said: 'I suddenly saw John going up in the air and landing right in front of me. I didn’t see it hit her but she was on the floor and John was trying to get up to help her.' Mrs Thomas’ daughter Jessica added: 'I saw a dark car coming down then up on to the pavement. It hit her, she went up and came down on her side.' The recorder told him: 'You made a conscious decision to drive home that night knowing you had been drinking and suspecting you might be over the limit. Recorder Jeremy Jenkins at Cardiff Crown Court, pictured above, said it was 'worrying' that 'voices' were apparently instrumental in what happned . 'You told the jury you were driving slowly because of it and have (since) said voices told you to drive.

(CNN) -- A minor furor has broken out on social media after reports a Middle East Airlines (MEA) flight was refused entry to Baghdad because an Iraqi minister's son had been left behind in Lebanon. Various media outlets have reported that Mahdi al-Amiri, son of Iraqi Transport Minister Hadi al-Amiri, forced the plane to turn back after he missed the flight. Rima Mikaoui, director of public relations for Middle East Airlines-Air Liban, told CNN: "It is true that MEA airplane that was heading to Baghdad yesterday on March 6, 2014 was forced to return to Beirut. "Matter is still under investigation, and we are awaiting the result of the investigation." The National News Agency (NNA) in Lebanon, run by the Ministry of Information, reported that "20 minutes after taking off from Beirut International Airport, the director of MEA bureau in Baghdad informed the airliner that the Iraqi authorities would not allow the aircraft to land in Baghdad airport if it wasn't carrying the minister's son on board." Other reports claim that airline staff searched for the missing passenger and made the usual announcements for boarding, and then departed after a six-minute delay without him. Investigations go on . Iraq's Transport Ministry has denied the claims, saying the plane was turned back due to "cleaning operations" at the airport. Various comments have since emerged on Twitter. "You might consider getting ... to the gate on time, Mahdi al-Amiri," tweeted one. Lebanon's NNA has also reported that Nouri al-Maliki, the Iraqi Prime Minister, is investigating the allegations with a view to chastising those responsible. The Australian reports that MEA is in touch with the Iraqi authorities, claiming the incident has cost it time and money. Minister Hadi al-Amiri is also the head of Iraq's Badr Organization, a political party that was previously the armed wing of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.

By . Harriet Hernando . A jogger has captured the clearest picture yet of the elusive ‘Bristol Crocodile’ lurking in the waters of the River Avon. The 6ft predator was allegedly first spotted by a bus driver who prompted a full-scale police search back in February. A number of other possible sightings emerged but the mysterious creature has not been seen for five months. Scroll down for video . This picture of the 'Bristol Crocodile' in the River Avon, taken by Tamara Blanco, is the clearest yet . Tamara Blanco, 29, spotted the 'Bristol Crocodile' while she was jogging beside Clifton Suspension Bridge . But now Tamara Blanco, 29, who spotted the beast, has taken a clear photograph of what looks like a crocodile’s head and snout emerging from the water under the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Tamara, a Spanish national living in Southville, Bristol, said: 'I was running close to the Suspension Bridge and suddenly I saw something in the water. 'I had heard about a crocodile but that was a long time ago, so when I went home I checked on the internet and I saw that other people had seen it too. 'I felt scared at the time because the thing - whatever it was - was moving in the water. 'I wanted to stay to see it properly but there was no one around and I just didn’t feel comfortable.' Tamara, who works in clothes shop Zara, added: 'I could feel my hair start to stand on end and I thought ‘Oh my God, is it a crocodile?’ and I just left the place.' Fears a crocodile was on the loose in Bristol were first triggered when Avon and Somerset police Chief Constable Nick Gargan tweeted that a bus driver had reported a sighting from Bedminster Bridge. Joke: One local comedian put up this warning sign as the search for the crocodile continued . Mr Gargan revealed the police had launched an investigation, but a search 'found no trace' of the beast on Monday, February 3. A second sighting of the alleged crocodile came from mother-of-three Kelly Gray, 41, of Bishopsworth, who saw the beast two days later. Local Councillor Tom Aditya, 39, then captured video footage a week later. Since then the crocodile had not been spotted until Tamara was out on a run on Tuesday evening. Reptile expert ‘Crocodile Joe’ - one of Britain’s only approved reptile rescue specialists and a regular on BBC shows such as Blue Peter - said it is not impossible for a crocodile to survive in British waters. Clifton Suspension Bridge, where jogger Tamara Blanco believes she spotted the 'Bristol Crocodile' moving around in the water . However, he warned only a very large reptile could survive - and speculated it could be an alligator. He said: 'It would be hard for a crocodile to deal with the cold temperatures for five months as it would be unable to break down food. 'Having said that if it was a big crocodile it would probably be able to survive that long, and the relatively mild winter would have helped. 'It’s more likely that it would be an alligator because they don’t necessarily need warmer waters to survive. 'It’s quite difficult to tell what it is from the pictures, but while it’s unlikely it’s a crocodile it isn’t impossible.”
Tamara Blanco's hair stood on end when she spotted the creature moving in the water . There have been a number of sightings but the 29-year-old's image is the clearest yet . Reptile specialist fears it may in fact be an alligator - which can grow to 4.6m in length . Police launched search in February but found no trace of beast .

Phone users are reporting is claiming it can change the colour scheme of their Facebook profiles and then they are redirected to a phishing website. 'Cheetah Mobile researchers have found this issue to be happening due to a vulnerability that lives in Facebook’s app page itself, allowing hackers to implant viruses and malicious code into Facebook-based applications directs users to phishing sites,' the telecommunications company's website said. 'The code...takes users who believe they are visiting the URL "apps.facebook.com/themsandcolors" and automatically reroutes them to a malicious phishing site.'

As a Burberry model, Vogue cover girl and socialite Jourdan Dunn is seemingly living the supermodel dream. But her enviable lifestyle and stellar success is bittersweet because Jourdan, 24, is also a mother who's regularly forced to leave her son behind when she jets around the world for work. The Victoria's Secret model has a five-year-old named Riley and has revealed she was envious of her mother spending so much time with him when she first began working internationally. Scroll down for video . Jourdan Dunn, pictured arriving for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in December 2014, is only 24 but she already has a lucrative career that most women could only dream about . Speaking in the February issue of British Vogue magazine, which she covers, Jourdan said: 'They are so close I was kind of jealous of their relationship in the beginning. But it works for me. 'You can find the balance of being a working mother, but I couldn't do it without my mum. She is the one who allowed me to go and do my thing.' The catwalk star also claims other models couldn't relate to her at first because they didn't understand her commitments as a mother. Jourdan added: 'I love that one day I am doing this and then I go home to my reality: getting Riley ready for school, doing his reading with him, taking him to the park. 'For some in this industry their life is their work. The other girls didn't understand in the beginning why I didn't want to go out all the time.' Jourdan, who was scouted in her local Primark at the tender age of 15, fell pregnant aged 18 and after giving birth to her son Riley, his father was arrested for possession of cocaine. Jourdan fell pregnant aged 18 and her son Riley is now five and often cared for by Jourdan's mother . The catwalk star also claims other models couldn't relate to her at first because they didn't understand her commitments as a mother. She and Cara Delevingne are, however, fiercely close . Jourdan was in a predicament, left alone to balance her increasingly successful working life with her flailing personal life. And things didn't get any easier for the mother from Ealing after Riley was diagnosed with sickle-cell anaemia, an inherited, noncontagious blood disorder. The disorder leaves sufferers with a shorter life expectancy and periods of sickle-cell crisis that last a few days and require serious medication and hospitalisation. Although Jourdan doesn't have the disease herself, she and the father of her son are among the 250,000 people in England estimated to carry the genetic mutation that causes it. Jourdan Dunn posted her first Vogue cover to her Instagram account and revealed her joy at becoming the first solo black model to grace the cover of British Vogue for more than 12 years . Jourdan poses alongside her Victoria's Secret model pals (l-r) Elsa Hosk, Jourdan, Karlie Kloss, Candice Swanepoel, Doutzen Kroes and Lily Aldridge) in matching leather jackets ahead of the show in December . Speaking to the Sunday Times Style magazine at the time, the model said: 'I found out I carried it when I was pregnant, which was a huge shock. 'The first time Riley had a crisis, I was working in New York and due to travel to Puerto Rico. Mum was amazing and reassured me he was in the best hands and that I should keep working.' Riley has to take penicillin and folic acid daily and Jourdan worries that more awareness should be raised about the disease. She said: 'It's something people don't really know about, due to the fact it's genetic, so it doesn't have the high profile of HIV or malaria, . 'Riley looks just like a normal boy, but I can't get away from the fact he has a serious disease.' Jourdan intends to use her status as a famous model to help garner more support for the Sickle Cell Society, which she strongly supports. Taking it in her stride, Jourdan has powered through life and juggled her thriving modelling career with the demands of being a single parent. Jourdan's career highlights include walking for the super-cool Topshop Unique show, left, and VS, right . The modelling world has been extremely accommodating of Jourdan's decision to be a mother first and a model second, with Jean-Paul Gaultier even making her a special pregnancy catwalk outfit for a show. Last week, Jourdan was revealed as the first solo black model to grace the cover of British Vogue for more than 12 years. The 24-year-old Londoner shared the cover image of the fashion magazine on Instagram to her 954,000 followers after speculation on Twitter today. She wrote: 'I'm so Happy to finally say I'M ON THE COVER OF BRITISH VOGUE!!!' She added: 'Thank you Patrick Demarchelier and Kate Phelan for making this happen and also thank you all for the Love and Support it means everything to me #2015YearOfTheDunn.' Although this is her first solo Vogue cover, Jourdan did previously front the magazine in 2008 along with Rosie Huntington-Whitely and Eden Clark. This also marks a change for the fashion bible as it is the first time they have featured a solo black model on the cover since Naomi Campbell appeared in 2002. Jourdan has enjoyed a highly successful career so far and has been the face of Burberry beauty along with Cara Delevingne and Edie Campbell . This is the latest in a string of good news for the model. At the beginning of last month she took a highly successful turn on the Victoria's Secret runway as the show hit London for the first time. Then in mid-December it was revealed that Jourdan and Naomi Campbell were the faces of Burberry's Spring / Summer 2015 campaign. She said of the shoot: 'This campaign is even more special for me because I was shot with Naomi Campbell for the first time - someone who I admire and respect within the fashion industry.' She is also a firm favourite on the fashion party circuit counting Cara Delevigne, Suki Waterhouse and Georgia May Jagger amongst her close friends. Last year, Forbes announced that she was the 10th highest paid model, making an estimated £2.65m ($4m) last year and beating world-renowned beauty Cara, who earned £2.3m ($3.5m). Jourdan posed in September 2013 with some of her model pals including Suki Waterhouse, Cara Delevingne, Georgia May Jagger and Clara Paget .

(CNN) -- Africa's growing economies should put jobs creation at the heart of their development policies, according to the head of the International Monetary Fund. Speaking to CNN's Robyn Curnow, Christine Lagarde said that youth unemployment is one of the biggest challenges facing Africa's countries. "There is a vibrant youth that is expecting the leadership of those countries to actually open the economy so that they can actually express their talent and find ways to get integrated in the job market," she said. According to the IMF chief, a major re-engineering is currently taking place between the developed and developing world economies -- a number of African countries have enjoyed higher growth rates than Europe and the United States in recent times as many western nations remains mired in financial turmoil. "Emerging markets are playing a role that is much bigger, much more important in terms of leadership than they did, say, 10, 15 years ago," she says. An edited version of the interview follows. CNN: More than ever the Eurozone crisis has put it to African leaders that they have to look East. How significant is that? Christine Lagarde: All countries are interconnected. There is no question that a crisis in one particular part of the world is going to affect those countries, but also all of the countries, especially if there's a large volume of trade between those countries. Four reasons Africa is rising . When I look at South Africa, I know there is about 30% of trade going to Europe, so if something goes wrong in Europe it will have an effect on South Africa which is why any solution will require the cooperation of all players and I understand perfectly that South African authorities are concerned about the way the Europeans are dealing with their crisis and are trying to address solutions. CNN: Many people here have watched with fascination how Portugal has turned to Angola for some sort of financial help. Do you see this shifting perhaps the power relations on a global scale? CL: There is at the moment a major re-engineering between advanced economies, emerging markets, developing countries and clearly emerging markets are playing a role that is much bigger, much more important in terms of leadership than they did, say, 10, 15 years ago. So there is a re-organization happening as we speak, which is good in the main, because there were massive imbalances and those imbalances are not good for the global economy, but it is difficult and it's a transition phase that is complicated to deal with. CNN: Do African economies have a role to play that's positive? Is there something to be learned from African economies over this? CL: Well, first of all, the African continent in and of itself has had a growth rate that was significantly higher than that of Europe, than that of the United States, lower than some of the big emerging markets such as China, India or Brazil, but in the range of 6% lately. I think that's one reason to be optimistic about Africa. African growth? It's complicated . The second reason to be optimistic about Africa is that it holds significant commodities, raw materials that are so needed for the growth of other countries -- if you look at the volume of trade between, say, China and some African countries such as South Africa, or the volume of trade amongst African countries in terms of intra-regional trade, that is growing as well. So those are alternatives sources of growth that differ from the traditional trade links with, say, Europe and these are new opportunities for African countries to actually develop and strengthen. CNN: What are the warning signs and concerns about African economies? What are the critical issues for you? CL: The first message that I gave to both the Nigerian, the Niger and the South African authorities is to rebuild the buffers that had been used during the financial crisis wherever they could to have reserves available and be able to either use fiscal policy or monetary policy to make sure that growth is maintained and is sustainable. Africa's 2020 growth vision . The second message is make sure that the growth that you encourage, by whichever ways are available to you, it's a growth that is inclusive, that is creating jobs, because jobs are really at the heart of any development policies at the moment in South Africa, but in other countries as well. CNN: Easy to say that. CL: Yes, I know, but it's a question of identifying for each and every country, what are the impediments to job creation? What are the impediments to growth? And whether it's the infrastructure projects that need to be financed, that need to be developed, that need to be monitored, whether it's education and vocational training programs that need to be put in place. That is going to be different, whether you're in Nigeria, whether you're in South Africa, whether you're in Tunisia, but in all places there is a vibrant youth that is expecting the leadership of those countries to actually open the economy so that they can actually express their talent and find ways to get integrated in the job market.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Obama on Wednesday signed a measure awarding the 300 surviving Women Airforce Service Pilots from World War II the Congressional Gold Medal. Jane Tedeschi when she was in the Women Airforce Service Pilots program. The WASPs were formed in 1942. The bill passed by both chambers of Congress bestows one of the nation's highest civilian honors on the group known as WASPs more than 60 years after they were the first women to fly U.S. military aircraft. "The Women Airforce Service Pilots courageously answered their country's call in a time of need while blazing a trail for the brave women who have given and continue to give so much in service to this nation since," Obama said in a statement. "Every American should be grateful for their service, and I am honored to sign this bill to finally give them some of the hard-earned recognition they deserve." The Women Airforce Service Pilots was formed in 1942 to create a corps of female pilots able to fill all types of flying jobs at home, freeing male military pilots to travel to the war front. The 1,100 members had to pay their own way to Texas for months of rigorous training. Once assigned to military bases, they did everything from participating in ground-to-air anti-aircraft practice; to towing targets for air-to-air gunnery practice with live ammunition; to flying drones; to conducting night exercises; to testing repaired aircraft before they were used in cadet training; to serving as instructors and transporting cargo and male pilots to embarkation points. Overall, they flew more than 60 million miles in every type of aircraft -- from the PT-17 and AT-6 trainers, to fast attack planes like the A-24 and A-25 and heavy bombers such as B-17 and B-29s. Paid $250 a month, the women were not officially part of the military -- receiving no benefits, no honors. Jane Tedeschi, who graduated in May 1944, was sent to a Selma, Alabama, base that did engineering work. "We did whatever they asked us," she recalled in a CNN interview. "You knew enough about flying you could adapt. ... Sometimes it was a little tougher." While the work was technically noncombat, it could be dangerous. Thirty-eight of the women pilots were killed. As the war was winding down in December 1944, the program was closed with no recognition from the government and not much help for the women who served. They went off to restart their prewar lives, but without getting any of the help received by male veterans. Several of the women, however, have said they were not bitter since the only reason they had signed up was to do their part for the country. They noted they were just like the thousands of other women who also learned new skills and went to work in the factories to replace male workers sent off to war. "We were proud of what we did, and the war was over. It was time to get on," Tedeschi said. Watch Tedeschi recall WWII » . But many Americans were not aware of their efforts. The WASP records were sealed for more than 30 years. In 1977, Congress voted to make the WASPs eligible for veterans benefits.

Seoul, South Korea (CNN) -- A diver searching the sunken Sewol ferry died Tuesday, according to South Korea's Government Rescue Headquarters. "A civilian diver, Lee, lost the communication line at 25 meters under the sea five minutes into his first dive," spokesman Koh Myung-suk said. "By the time his colleagues went to save him, Lee was unconscious and unable to breathe by himself," Koh said. Lee, whose full name was not provided, was helicoptered to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, the spokesman added. Park In-ho, head of the hospital where Lee died, said the diver's blood was tested and appeared normal except for high potassium. His chest X-ray also showed no sign of irregularity. Not including the diver, the death toll in the ferry disaster has risen to 264, with 38 people still missing, the government reported. Over the weekend, South Korean President Park Geun-hye visited the port where the rescue operation is based to console families and encourage divers. Nearly 130 divers are combing the ship, looking for the remaining missing bodies. The search-and-rescue operation has turned into a grueling recovery of corpses. No one has been found alive since the ferry sank April 16 with a passenger load largely made up of high school students on a field trip. The work has become even more difficult because divers have faced closed cabin doors blocked by debris. Corralling the debris has been difficult for search teams. Mattresses and clothing from the ship have been found up to 9 miles (15 km) away from the accident site, said Park Seung-ki, a spokesman for the rescue operation. Large stow and trawler nets will be set up around the sunken ship to catch items that may float away, he said. At the same time, some three dozen ships will be clearing an oil spill from the ferry, which is threatening the livelihood of the local fishermen. The ferry sank en route from Incheon to the resort island of Jeju, off the nation's southwestern coast. CNN's Stella Kim reported from Seoul; Ed Payne wrote from Atlanta .

When a wide-angle lens is too close to a subject, the distance from the lens is approximately the same distance between the subject’s features. This causes the image to be distorted. A selfie-stick can be used to get extra distance between the lens and face. However, these tips only typically work with wide-angle lenses. On . smartphone cameras, for example, Dr Sporea said . that subjects can be positioned much closer to the phone. This is because the lens and sensor are smaller, so can be used for close-up shots while maintaining the correct amount of separation. For . portraits, Dr Sporea added that the best photos also have the . shallowest depth of field, meaning the subject is in focus.

With digital cameras, however, the aperture can be adjusted. Choosing a larger aperture, which will have a lower number on the settings menu, is better for portraits. In terms of . lighting, Dr Sporea and Dr Pye claim that photos should not be back-lit, . meaning the light is in front of the subject, rather than behind it. There should also be less separation between the light and dark areas. For example, a single bright light producers darker, more harsh shadows because there’s a clear separation. By . increasing the number of lights, or bouncing it off another surface, . this separation is reduced and creates a softer light, which is better . for portraits.

By adjusting these settings, light hitting the sensor can be ‘drowned out by noise’, from the camera. This can cause images to become grainy . Dr Sporea advises against taking photos in the midday sun, for this reason, or underneath strip lights. Umbrellas can also be placed over a bulb to soften the light when taking a selfie. In terms of exposure, smartphones typically have automatic settings, but on digital cameras, photographers can tweak the sensitivity, also known as ISO to improve the amount of light that hits the shutter. By adjusting these settings, however, in low lighting for example, the small amount of light hitting the sensor can be ‘drowned out by noise’, from the camera. This can cause images to become grainy.

(CNN) -- Mitt Romney hates apologies. That's why he leaped to the conclusion that, in the wake of the killing of Libya Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other State Department employees, the Obama administration had issued an apology for America's actions. "It's a terrible course for America to stand in apology for our values," Romney declared. "It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks." What Romney called a disgraceful response by the Obama administration to the Libyan killings was in fact a statement issued before the killings by America's Cairo Embassy condemning an anti-Islam film that portrays the Prophet Mohammed as a child molester. The title of Romney's 2010 campaign autobiography, "No Apology: The Case for American Greatness," makes it clear that his hatred of apologies runs deep. Unfortunately, such hatred ignores history. What Romney, who after disparaging 47% of Americans for being dependents has insisted there was nothing wrong in what he said, fails to understand is that presidential apologies are nothing new. What's more is that they apologize without drawing critical backlash from their fellow conservatives. Bill Clinton's 1998 apology for the failure of America and the international community to respond quickly to the 1994 genocide in Rwanda may be the most memorable public apology by any contemporary president. But two of the most conservative Republicans in recent history, it is worth pointing out, have issued telling public apologies of their own. The most moving of these conservative apologies was the one that Ronald Reagan made in 1988 on signing the legislation that provided $1.25 billion in reparations, along with a formal apology from the government, for the forcible relocation of 120,000 West Coast Japanese-Americans after the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In signing the bill, Reagan, who as an actor was living in California at the time of the relocation, made clear that the money offered to the victimized families was less important than the public apology. "No payment can make up for those lost years," Reagan said. "So what is important in this bill has less to do with property than with honor, for here, we admit a wrong." Today those words have taken on enduring form. In Washington they are engraved on the National Japanese-American Memorial to Patriotism During World War II, which is within blocks of the Capitol. In addition to Reagan's words, the memorial features a towering sculpture of two bronze cranes, each with one wing pointing to the sky and the other pinned down by barbed wire. Two decades later, George W. Bush, the Republican closest in ideology to Ronald Reagan, made a similar statement of regret. In a 2008 video conference with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki of Iraq, Bush apologized for the actions of an American sniper in Iraq who used a Quran for target practice. "He apologized for that in the sense that he said that we take it very seriously," White House press secretary Dana Perino told reporters after the video conference. "We wanted them to know that the president knew that this was wrong." The impacts that Reagan, Clinton and Bush hoped their individual apologies would have turned out to be as different as their politics. That is to be expected. For their apologies were never just based on calculation. At their core was the shared belief that a presidential apology is not a sign of weakness so much as a chance for a new beginning, a way to shed the indefensible and start fresh. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Nicolaus Mills.

A frail pensioner endured a 12 hour wait on a hospital trolley as overworked nurses struggled in a ‘chaotic’ accident and emergency department. Betty Newberry, 88, was rushed to Worcester Royal Hospital by paramedics after a neighbour found her collapsed at her home last Friday. Upon arrival her at 9pm, doctors carried out initial tests and scans before the widow was taken back to A&E to wait for a hospital bed. Betty Newberry, 88, was left on a hospital trolley for 12 hours (pictured with neighbour, Councillor Joy Squires) Instead, she was left on a trolley in a tiny cubicle for a further 12 hours until she was finally admitted to a ward at 9.15 the following morning. Councillor Joy Squires, 58, who looks after Mrs Newberry, who is her neighbour, said that during this time nursing staff were forced to treat patients in corridors as the busy department filled up. At one point there were said to be six trolleys lined up next to each other as overworked staff struggled to cope. Cllr Squires said: ‘Betty was in a cubicle on the A&E ward, she was asleep most of the time and she kept waking up. ‘She was very confused and kept trying to get out of bed, I was able to make sure she didn't hurt herself. ‘It was unacceptable, I was shocked when I saw what was going on as I was unaware of what staff were facing. ‘I was shocked that there were trolleys in the corridor and people were being treated on them.

She added: ‘Based on my experiences I don't think the hospital has the capacity to handle the extra admissions.’ Mrs Newberry, who has no children, was said to be in a frail condition following her ordeal, during which she treated for a chest infection. Following a stay in hospital she was transferred to a local nursing home. Simon Trickett, chief operating officer for South Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Group, said Mrs Newberry’s experience was 'extraordinary’. He said: ‘That sounds an extraordinary experience and I hope it wasn't a typical one. ‘Last month a reasonable portion of the hospital was blocked off because of the norovirus, which put pressure on beds. ‘It's not acceptable but there may be operational reasons for when things like this happen.’

The humble onion has a lot more to offer than flavouring your stew and is coming into its own as a beauty product and ALICE ROBINSON bravely applied a clothes peg to her nose and tried out some beauty recipes. SLATHER ON FOR SHINY HAIR . THE THEORY: ‘Onions are naturally acidic — if you use them in hair masques, the acidity will close the cuticle of the hair and make it look shiny,’ says consultant trichologist Iain Sallis. ‘Onions are naturally acidic — if you use them in hair masques, the acidity will close the cuticle of the hair and make it look shiny,’ says consultant trichologist Iain Sallis. THE TEST: Grind an onion with equal amounts of coconut or olive oil to make a hair rinse. Leave on for two hours. MY VERDICT: I reluctantly pick up my grater and shred an onion into a bowl. I mix the pulp with virgin organic coconut oil from a jar. The resulting oily mush is full of onion bits, and I flinch as I smear it into my hair, which feels unbelievably greasy. Bits of onion fall on the floor every time I move — it probably would have been a good idea to wrap my head in clingfilm or an old towel. I sit very carefully and sulkily at my laptop, trying not to shed onion on the keyboard. After two hours, I dash to the shower — almost retching at the acrid smell of warm, raw onion under hot water. I use my usual shampoo and vigorously brush my hair as I wash it off. After blow-drying, my hair does look and feel glossy — and thankfully doesn’t smell, not even of coconut. It would be less stressful to just pay up for a blow-dry or expensive conditioner. Nonetheless, it works. 3/5 . GROW YOUR HAIR FASTER . Make an onion hair masque for thinning hair . THE THEORY: Onions and honey have been used in recipes to counteract thinning hair for centuries. ‘In the Middle Ages, onions were prized and prescribed for the relief of headaches, coughs, snakebite and hair loss,’ says Iain Sallis. ‘There is no scientific evidence of this being effective at all.’ However, an article published in the Journal of Dermatology a decade ago showed promising results. THE TEST: Make an onion hair masque for thinning hair — mix the juice of one onion with 2tsp of honey and leave overnight. Use two or three times a week. MY VERDICT: My hair is thinning a little but I’m not sure I’d opt for this as a solution. I don’t even need to spell out how anti-social wearing eau d’onion juice is. Add in sticky honey, and it’s completely off-putting. I dutifully apply the foul mixture, wrap my head in a towel and try to go to sleep as best I can. In the morning, I gratefully wash my hair which is, of course, after just one night, no thicker. But even if it made me look like Rapunzel, I wouldn’t do it again.1/5 . TAKE THE STING OUT OF BITES . THE THEORY: ‘Many believe the effects of a bite or sting can be relieved by rubbing it with an onion,’ says Eric Block, professor of chemistry at the State University of New York. ‘This effect is believed to be due to compounds such as quercetin. This is said to inhibit the formation of prostaglandins. These are responsible for allergic response and pain. ‘Many believe the effects of a bite or sting can be relieved by rubbing it with an onion,’ says Eric Block, professor of chemistry at the State University of New York. ‘In laboratory studies, quercetin inhibits the enzymes that are involved in allergic response, though not specifically pain production.’ THE TEST: Using a slice of raw onion to help reduce the effects of insect bites and nettle stings. MY VERDICT: Clearly it is not possible to capture an insect to sting me, so I ask my husband to put on his gardening gloves and bring in a nettle from the bottom of the garden. I rub it on my hand. The moment I feel that burning and itching sensation I frantically rub on a slice of onion. To my astonishment, the pain instantly subsides. No white mark from the nettle comes up on my hand and although it starts to sting again after a couple of minutes, another firm rub of onion gets rid of it. Extraordinary, though be aware of Dr Patterson’s warnings on possible skin irritation.5/5 . REDUCE DARK SPOTS . Mix equal quantities of onion juice and fresh yoghurt and massage into your face for ten to 15 minutes . THE THEORY: ‘Onions are said to get rid of dark spots and pigmentation,’ says Dr Patterson. ‘Some peels contain an onion extract which will increase skin cell turnover. When combined with lactic acid in yoghurt, it will have a mild peeling effect. It’s pretty labour-intensive. Also, it would be hard to work out quantities and how often to do it.’ THE TEST: Mix equal quantities of onion juice and fresh yoghurt and massage into your face for ten to 15 minutes. MY VERDICT: I extract onion juice (see right) and stir it into yoghurt. Although onion yoghurt sounds like something you would be force fed in George Orwell’s Room 101, after I carefully rub it onto my face, my skin feels smooth and dewy, though I can’t yet see any change in my age spots. It’s suggested you do this daily, so if I can bear it, I might persevere.2/5 . HOLD YOUR NOSE FOR GREAT SKIN . THE THEORY: ‘Onions have been the subject of dermatological interest for many years, as it has been suggested they have both anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects,’ says Dr Mervyn Patterson at Woodford Medical Clinic in Essex. A recent study showed onion juice had some effect on reducing skin scarring following Caesareans and further studies have suggested it may help with scar healing in both adults and children. So could onions help with skincare? A recent study showed onion juice had some effect on reducing skin scarring following Caesareans and further studies have suggested it may help with scar healing in both adults and children . Possibly. But Dr Patterson warns: ‘When unrefined onion juice comes into contact with the skin, there’s a risk of it becoming irritated.’ THE TEST: Make a mask with 2tbsp of flour, 1 ½tbsp of fresh onion juice, a pinch of nutmeg and ½ tsp of milk. Mix together to make a thick paste and apply to the face for up to 20 minutes. Remove by dabbing on some milk and massaging it away. MY VERDICT: It’s all very well mentioning onion juice, but extracting the stuff is harder than it sounds, especially if you don’t have a juicer. Standing with tears pouring down my cheeks, I grate two onions and press the resulting mush through a sieve and into a bowl. It reeks and takes a good ten minutes. The resulting paste looks like bread dough and stinks to high heaven. I tentatively dab it all over my face, trying to breathe as little as possible. I avoid putting it anywhere near my eyes. But on my skin, thankfully, it doesn’t sting at all. It feels cool and soothing, but I’ve never been so pleased to remove a face mask, which comes off in great gooey chunks. Once I scrape off the last bits, my skin is left feeling lovely and smooth — and not smelling of onions. 4/5 . BANISH ROUGH PATCHES ON YOUR ELBOWS . ‘Onions have anti-microbial properties which help to kill some bacteria and yeasts,’ says Iain Sallis. THE THEORY: ‘Onions have anti-microbial properties which help to kill some bacteria and yeasts,’ says Iain Sallis. ‘Clinical tests would need to be done before recommending them for any skin conditions.’ THE TEST: Wash the affected body part with an infusion of onion skins. MY VERDICT: I am thankfully low on skin disorders, but I do have rough dry skin on my elbows. There are many complicated ways of making infusions, but I simply drop a load of onion skin into a mug of hot water (interestingly this doesn’t smell too bad — like a sort of soup, though my husband flinches when I offer him a ‘cup of tea’). I dip my left elbow carefully into the mug of onion ‘tea’ and slosh it around for a few minutes. It does feel slightly less rough-compared to the other. I suspect this would need doing daily to have any real effect, and reckon a good emollient cream might work just as well.3/5 .

Heres the context you need to read and summary.The humble onion has a lot more to offer than flavouring your stew and is coming into its own as a beauty product and ALICE ROBINSON bravely applied a clothes peg to her nose and tried out some beauty recipes. SLATHER ON FOR SHINY HAIR . THE THEORY: ‘Onions are naturally acidic — if you use them in hair masques, the acidity will close the cuticle of the hair and make it look shiny,’ says consultant trichologist Iain Sallis. ‘Onions are naturally acidic — if you use them in hair masques, the acidity will close the cuticle of the hair and make it look shiny,’ says consultant trichologist Iain Sallis. THE TEST: Grind an onion with equal amounts of coconut or olive oil to make a hair rinse. Leave on for two hours. MY VERDICT: I reluctantly pick up my grater and shred an onion into a bowl. I mix the pulp with virgin organic coconut oil from a jar. The resulting oily mush is full of onion bits, and I flinch as I smear it into my hair, which feels unbelievably greasy. Bits of onion fall on the floor every time I move — it probably would have been a good idea to wrap my head in clingfilm or an old towel. I sit very carefully and sulkily at my laptop, trying not to shed onion on the keyboard. After two hours, I dash to the shower — almost retching at the acrid smell of warm, raw onion under hot water. I use my usual shampoo and vigorously brush my hair as I wash it off. After blow-drying, my hair does look and feel glossy — and thankfully doesn’t smell, not even of coconut. It would be less stressful to just pay up for a blow-dry or expensive conditioner. Nonetheless, it works. 3/5 . GROW YOUR HAIR FASTER . Make an onion hair masque for thinning hair . THE THEORY: Onions and honey have been used in recipes to counteract thinning hair for centuries. ‘In the Middle Ages, onions were prized and prescribed for the relief of headaches, coughs, snakebite and hair loss,’ says Iain Sallis. ‘There is no scientific evidence of this being effective at all.’ However, an article published in the Journal of Dermatology a decade ago showed promising results. THE TEST: Make an onion hair masque for thinning hair — mix the juice of one onion with 2tsp of honey and leave overnight. Use two or three times a week. MY VERDICT: My hair is thinning a little but I’m not sure I’d opt for this as a solution. I don’t even need to spell out how anti-social wearing eau d’onion juice is. Add in sticky honey, and it’s completely off-putting. I dutifully apply the foul mixture, wrap my head in a towel and try to go to sleep as best I can. In the morning, I gratefully wash my hair which is, of course, after just one night, no thicker. But even if it made me look like Rapunzel, I wouldn’t do it again.1/5 . TAKE THE STING OUT OF BITES . THE THEORY: ‘Many believe the effects of a bite or sting can be relieved by rubbing it with an onion,’ says Eric Block, professor of chemistry at the State University of New York. ‘This effect is believed to be due to compounds such as quercetin. This is said to inhibit the formation of prostaglandins. These are responsible for allergic response and pain. ‘Many believe the effects of a bite or sting can be relieved by rubbing it with an onion,’ says Eric Block, professor of chemistry at the State University of New York. ‘In laboratory studies, quercetin inhibits the enzymes that are involved in allergic response, though not specifically pain production.’ THE TEST: Using a slice of raw onion to help reduce the effects of insect bites and nettle stings. MY VERDICT: Clearly it is not possible to capture an insect to sting me, so I ask my husband to put on his gardening gloves and bring in a nettle from the bottom of the garden. I rub it on my hand. The moment I feel that burning and itching sensation I frantically rub on a slice of onion. To my astonishment, the pain instantly subsides. No white mark from the nettle comes up on my hand and although it starts to sting again after a couple of minutes, another firm rub of onion gets rid of it. Extraordinary, though be aware of Dr Patterson’s warnings on possible skin irritation.5/5 . REDUCE DARK SPOTS . Mix equal quantities of onion juice and fresh yoghurt and massage into your face for ten to 15 minutes . THE THEORY: ‘Onions are said to get rid of dark spots and pigmentation,’ says Dr Patterson. ‘Some peels contain an onion extract which will increase skin cell turnover. When combined with lactic acid in yoghurt, it will have a mild peeling effect. It’s pretty labour-intensive. Also, it would be hard to work out quantities and how often to do it.’ THE TEST: Mix equal quantities of onion juice and fresh yoghurt and massage into your face for ten to 15 minutes. MY VERDICT: I extract onion juice (see right) and stir it into yoghurt. Although onion yoghurt sounds like something you would be force fed in George Orwell’s Room 101, after I carefully rub it onto my face, my skin feels smooth and dewy, though I can’t yet see any change in my age spots. It’s suggested you do this daily, so if I can bear it, I might persevere.2/5 . HOLD YOUR NOSE FOR GREAT SKIN . THE THEORY: ‘Onions have been the subject of dermatological interest for many years, as it has been suggested they have both anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects,’ says Dr Mervyn Patterson at Woodford Medical Clinic in Essex. A recent study showed onion juice had some effect on reducing skin scarring following Caesareans and further studies have suggested it may help with scar healing in both adults and children. So could onions help with skincare? A recent study showed onion juice had some effect on reducing skin scarring following Caesareans and further studies have suggested it may help with scar healing in both adults and children . Possibly. But Dr Patterson warns: ‘When unrefined onion juice comes into contact with the skin, there’s a risk of it becoming irritated.’ THE TEST: Make a mask with 2tbsp of flour, 1 ½tbsp of fresh onion juice, a pinch of nutmeg and ½ tsp of milk. Mix together to make a thick paste and apply to the face for up to 20 minutes. Remove by dabbing on some milk and massaging it away. MY VERDICT: It’s all very well mentioning onion juice, but extracting the stuff is harder than it sounds, especially if you don’t have a juicer. Standing with tears pouring down my cheeks, I grate two onions and press the resulting mush through a sieve and into a bowl. It reeks and takes a good ten minutes. The resulting paste looks like bread dough and stinks to high heaven. I tentatively dab it all over my face, trying to breathe as little as possible. I avoid putting it anywhere near my eyes. But on my skin, thankfully, it doesn’t sting at all. It feels cool and soothing, but I’ve never been so pleased to remove a face mask, which comes off in great gooey chunks. Once I scrape off the last bits, my skin is left feeling lovely and smooth — and not smelling of onions. 4/5 . BANISH ROUGH PATCHES ON YOUR ELBOWS . ‘Onions have anti-microbial properties which help to kill some bacteria and yeasts,’ says Iain Sallis. THE THEORY: ‘Onions have anti-microbial properties which help to kill some bacteria and yeasts,’ says Iain Sallis. ‘Clinical tests would need to be done before recommending them for any skin conditions.’ THE TEST: Wash the affected body part with an infusion of onion skins. MY VERDICT: I am thankfully low on skin disorders, but I do have rough dry skin on my elbows. There are many complicated ways of making infusions, but I simply drop a load of onion skin into a mug of hot water (interestingly this doesn’t smell too bad — like a sort of soup, though my husband flinches when I offer him a ‘cup of tea’). I dip my left elbow carefully into the mug of onion ‘tea’ and slosh it around for a few minutes. It does feel slightly less rough-compared to the other. I suspect this would need doing daily to have any real effect, and reckon a good emollient cream might work just as well.3/5 .

(AOL Autos) -- As we're in the midst of a trend that equates green with cool, just about every automaker is showcasing ecologically-minded concepts at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. (Thank you Lamborghini for bucking the trend ... vehicles in their display are powered by gasoline gulping V10s and V12s.) Explorer America Concept . Wisely supporting the green trend, Ford chose to combine two important concepts in the debut of a single vehicle, the Ford Explorer America. Compared to Ford's current SUV champ (the regular production Explorer), the America concept is smaller, lighter, more efficient and more refined. Moving away from traditional truck-like body-on-frame construction, the America is a lighter-weight unitized design. The styling may be a hint at what a future Explorer might look like. But even more important than the styling is what's under the America's short hood. The V6 engine debuts a combination of technologies that delivers the fuel economy of a 4-cylinder with the power punch of a big V8. Here are the highlights of the technology that Ford will roll out in the 2009 Lincoln MKS luxury sedan; the so-called Eco-Boost engine features turbocharging and direct-injection. Readers with some automotive background know that turbocharging has been around over 100 years and that direct-injection style fuel injection is also not new. Diesel engines have positioned fuel injectors within the combustion chambers for several years. See other hot concept cars » . However, for the first time, Ford has combined these two features on a gasoline engine. The result is an affordable line of 4- and 6-cylinder engines that deliver excellent economy, reduced emissions, and impressive power. The 3.5-liter Gasoline Turbo Direct Injection V6 in the Explorer America is claimed to produce 340 horsepower, more than the base 4.6-liter V8 in a Ford F-150 pickup truck. Ford also pointed out that while a GTDI engine is more expensive than a similar engine without GTDI, it's a technology that will pay for itself. Derrick Kuzak, Ford's group vice president in charge of Global Product Development told us, "The EcoBoost technology is affordable. Compared with the current cost of diesel and hybrid technologies, customers can expect to recoup their initial investment in a 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine through fuel economy savings in approximately 30 months. A diesel will take the average driver 7.5 years to save enough on fuel to pay for the option, while the cost of a hybrid will take nearly 12 years of driving to recoup." While we understand the concept of saving fuel and money, we're not exactly sure what the Explorer America's implies. Perhaps this is what Captain America would drive ... after all, there's plenty of room in this 6-passenger mid-size SUV for his shield and other members of the Justice League. Regarding names, we'd actually like to see the return of the Bronco nameplate. But we'd still let Captain America drive if he asked nicely. E-mail to a friend .

(CNN) -- Attention, holiday shoppers: Put away your wallets and credit cards. If you're looking for a gift that will please someone close to you, there's one that won't cost you a cent, and that you won't find on any store shelf. This thought occurred the other day when, on a visit to the west coast of Florida, I was walking through a crowded outdoor mall and the familiar voice of Frank Sinatra wafted out of the loudspeaker system: . "If I don't see her each day I miss her. . . ." I recognized the song immediately. "Believe me, I've got a case, . "On Nancy, with the laughing face. . . ." It's one of the songs Sinatra cherished most. And what does that have to do with the most meaningful present you can give to a loved one this holiday season? There's a story behind the song: a story with a lesson. In the early 1940s, when Sinatra was a relatively young man, he and his wife were having a birthday party for their firstborn child, Nancy. Among the invited guests were two good friends of Sinatra: the wonderful musical composer Jimmy Van Heusen, and the brilliant comedic actor Phil Silvers. Van Heusen and Silvers wanted to bring a gift. But what could they purchase that Sinatra himself could not provide for his daughter? What the two men did was revise a song they'd been working on. Van Heusen had written the melody; Silvers was the writer of the lyrics. (He would go on to immense fame in the 1950s playing Army Sgt. Ernest Bilko on CBS television, but his talents extended to many fields.) Their song, in an early version, had featured the words "Bessie, with the laughing face," referring to the wife of a colleague. Now they worked some more on it, and fashioned the lyrics for Sinatra's young daughter. They played and sang it at the birthday party. Sinatra adored it; by some accounts, he was so moved by the gesture from his friends that he began to cry. Talk about a gift for the man who has everything: What are you going to give to Frank Sinatra that he will remember? A tie? A car? A bottle of liquor? He needed nothing. But that song, and the effort his two friends had put into it, touched him so deeply that, until his dying day, it signified something achingly personal to him. And now it's the holiday season. We've all read about the mobs of people at door-buster sales, the fights in the aisles of stores. Yet there is a way that each of us, if we are willing to invest the hours, can come up with a gift that will mean more than any flat-screen television or video game. If you're good with words, write the best and longest letter you've ever written to a family member who maybe doesn't know just what he or she means to you. That letter will be kept, and treasured, long after gifts bought in a store have worn out or been thrown away. If you're artistic, paint a picture with a special significance that the person you love will understand. If you're the organized type, gather family photos from over the years, select them carefully, and put them together in an album that will mean everything to the person who receives it. If you're musical ... well, do for the person you care about what Phil Silvers and Jimmy Van Heusen did for Frank Sinatra and his family. Will the effort be time-consuming? Yes, and that's the point. It will certainly be time better spent than standing in line for hours before some big-box store opens its doors for midnight bargains. Because I'd heard about the Sinatra story for so many years, I called his younger daughter Tina the other afternoon to ask her about its veracity -- and its meaning to her family. "All of it is true," she said. She said that her dad, Silvers and Van Heusen were dear buddies who loved to spend time together: "There would be New Year's Eve parties where they'd set up a stage, and play charades games. Everyone had to participate. They just liked being around each other." When the two men presented the song at the birthday party, she said, "It was done out of pure friendship." Her father and her mother -- whose name was also Nancy -- couldn't have been more moved by the personal nature of the gift. Tina had not yet been born, but the reason she is certain of this, she said, is that her dad talked about it, from time to time, for the rest of his life. And for him, the song -- and the memories of his friends who wrote it -- never diminished in emotional power. She recalled one time in Paris when her dad was in a brittle mood over some things that were going on in his life. He was angry and irritable; at a concert, as he worked his way through his song list, his agitation was evident to everyone who knew him. But then he got to "Nancy (with the Laughing Face)". "His entire physicality changed," Tina said. 'He relaxed. He calmed down. The gentleness of the song, and the meaning of the story behind it, did that to him. You could see it. He went from being tense and on edge to being like an at-ease sergeant." The gift from his buddies did that for him, all those years later. The best gifts are like that. Here's hoping you'll find the right one. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Bob Greene.
Bob Greene: In 1940's, Jimmy Van Heusen, Phil Silvers gave personal gift to Frank Sinatra . He says it was song "Nancy With the Laughing Face" for Sinatra's daughter. He prized it .

(CNN)The winter is surgery season. People get into skiing accidents and need to replace knees, or they slip on ice and need to fix a hip, or they just want to get ready for bikini weather and schedule a nip here and an enlargement there. Surgeons are particularly busy these days, but Dr. Jamal M. Bullocks, a surgeon from the Kelsey-Seybold Clinic in Houston, has advice if you do need surgery. A successful surgery depends on a number of factors -- a few of them you can control. Even minor surgery may pose some risk that has long-term implications. So, for those considering surgery, there are six habits you need to commit to right now to help your body heal. Here's how Bullocks suggests you can improve your chances of recovering more quickly if you do go under the knife: . I shouldn't even have to tell you this. If you smoke, you know this habit can cause irreparable damage to your organs. It increases your chances for heart attack and stroke. Smoking can significantly hamper the success of your procedure. While in surgery, the damage from smoking to your airway and lungs makes it more difficult to control your breathing while you are under anesthesia. Additionally, because smoking damages your vascular system, it can bring on complications in wound healing that may lead to infection and wound breakdown. If you smoke and have plans to go under the knife, talk to your physician about smoking-cessation programs and products and follow his or her advice. Use this surgery as an opportunity to improve your overall health by quitting smoking. Malnutrition and the effects of poor eating habits can negatively alter how your body reacts to surgery. Malnutrition is a serious condition that can affect overall health and is a concern for many older adults since senior citizens are at particular risk. Malnutrition can weaken your immune system, cause muscle weakness that can decrease cardiac and respiratory function and may negatively affect wound healing. Talk to your physician about your eating habits, and if he or she determines you need help improving your diet, work with a registered dietitian before surgery. Even if you eat a well-balanced diet, your diet may still be lacking in important vitamins and protein that promote healing after surgery. Supplemental vitamins (such as vitamins A, E and C) and protein can promote acute wound healing -- and despite looking and feeling healthy, your body may need a boost. Ask your physician to confirm that you are not deficient in any vitamins and to test your protein building capacity and work with him or her to determine an appropriate supplement regimen before surgery. This is easier said than done. Being overweight or obese raises your risk because many people with this condition have other risk factors such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory abnormalities, heart failure, hypertension, pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. If you are overweight or obese and considering a nonurgent surgery, work with your physician to develop a weight-loss plan and try to attain a healthier weight. It may help improve your overall condition as well as lower your surgery risk. Diabetes, kidney disease and hypertension are just a few examples of chronic conditions that may increase the chances of complications during and after surgery. It is important to be in the best possible condition before undergoing surgery.

People get into skiing accidents and need to replace knees, or they slip on ice and need to fix a hip, or they just want to get ready for bikini weather and schedule a nip here and an enlargement there. Surgeons are particularly busy these days, but Dr. Jamal M. Bullocks, a surgeon from the Kelsey-Seybold Clinic in Houston, has advice if you do need surgery. A successful surgery depends on a number of factors -- a few of them you can control. Even minor surgery may pose some risk that has long-term implications. So, for those considering surgery, there are six habits you need to commit to right now to help your body heal. Here's how Bullocks suggests you can improve your chances of recovering more quickly if you do go under the knife: . I shouldn't even have to tell you this. If you smoke, you know this habit can cause irreparable damage to your organs. It increases your chances for heart attack and stroke. Smoking can significantly hamper the success of your procedure. While in surgery, the damage from smoking to your airway and lungs makes it more difficult to control your breathing while you are under anesthesia. Additionally, because smoking damages your vascular system, it can bring on complications in wound healing that may lead to infection and wound breakdown. If you smoke and have plans to go under the knife, talk to your physician about smoking-cessation programs and products and follow his or her advice. Use this surgery as an opportunity to improve your overall health by quitting smoking. Malnutrition and the effects of poor eating habits can negatively alter how your body reacts to surgery. Malnutrition is a serious condition that can affect overall health and is a concern for many older adults since senior citizens are at particular risk. Malnutrition can weaken your immune system, cause muscle weakness that can decrease cardiac and respiratory function and may negatively affect wound healing. Talk to your physician about your eating habits, and if he or she determines you need help improving your diet, work with a registered dietitian before surgery. Even if you eat a well-balanced diet, your diet may still be lacking in important vitamins and protein that promote healing after surgery. Supplemental vitamins (such as vitamins A, E and C) and protein can promote acute wound healing -- and despite looking and feeling healthy, your body may need a boost. Ask your physician to confirm that you are not deficient in any vitamins and to test your protein building capacity and work with him or her to determine an appropriate supplement regimen before surgery. This is easier said than done. Being overweight or obese raises your risk because many people with this condition have other risk factors such as cardiovascular disease, respiratory abnormalities, heart failure, hypertension, pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. If you are overweight or obese and considering a nonurgent surgery, work with your physician to develop a weight-loss plan and try to attain a healthier weight. It may help improve your overall condition as well as lower your surgery risk. Diabetes, kidney disease and hypertension are just a few examples of chronic conditions that may increase the chances of complications during and after surgery. It is important to be in the best possible condition before undergoing surgery. If you have a chronic condition that is not well-controlled, work with your care team to help improve your outcomes before an elective surgery.

They are also worried that Aaron does not have his medications with him. The Zimmermans say it is not like their son to take off without warning or stay out at night. He did disappear once before, but he was only 16 years old at the time. On Wednesday evening, Michelle Knight appeared before a crowd of supporters at the Church on the North Coast on Leavitt Road in Lorain, encouraging them to continue searching for Aaron and pray for his return. 'My plan to come here was just to give them a glimmer of hope and just see them smile... [it] means the world to me,' an emotional Miss Knight said.

(CNN) -- The death toll from an Ebola outbreak in coastal West Africa has risen to 86, with dozens more ill, aid workers reported Friday. The deaths are among the 137 cases reported by the World Health Organization, which said the outbreak has "rapidly evolved" since originating in the forests of southeastern Guinea. The city of Guekedou, near the borders with Sierra Leone and Liberia, has seen the majority of the deaths. Five people are believed to have died in Guinea's capital, Conakry, according to WHO. Two of the victims had traveled to the region. It's the first emergence of Ebola in western Africa, and WHO spokesman Tarik Jasarevic said the U.N. agency is trying to track people who had encountered the victims and make sure "that all those who have been in contact with infected people are being checked upon." "What is really important is to inform the population of Guinea and Conakry about this disease, as this is the first time they are facing Ebola. They need to know what it is and how they can protect themselves." In Liberia, seven Ebola deaths have been confirmed out of 14 suspected cases. Sierra Leone is investigating at least two deaths. The aid organization Doctors Without Borders has called the outbreak unprecedented, because previous cases have been limited to a small area. Mali's government reported on its Facebook page on Thursday that biological samples tied to three suspected Ebola cases within its borders are being sent to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for analysis. In the meantime, the three people there suspected of having the disease are being treated in an isolated unit, where their health is improving. Ebola is one of the world's deadliest viruses, causing a hemorrhagic fever that kills up to 90% of those infected. It spreads in the blood and shuts down the immune system, causing high fever, headache and muscle pain, often accompanied by bleeding. The virus is named after the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), where one of the first outbreaks occurred in 1976. What is Ebola and why does it kill? CNN's Anna Maja Rappard contributed to this report.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 09:51 EST, 23 January 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 09:52 EST, 23 January 2013 . Fifteen dogs have been saved from a foul-smelling property where they lived in unclean conditions and repeatedly attacked each other in their desperate fight for space and food, according to rescuers. The mostly Labrador and Shepherd mixes were found by Palm Springs Police and Animal Rescue Corps officers on Tuesday who raided a boarded up home on Tramview Road after months of neighbors complaints, according to KESQ. What they found was gut-wrenching. 'Unsanitary conditions': 15 dogs were discovered at the property in Palm Springs. The Animal Rescue Corps said the dogs were injured from fighting with each other and lived in unclean surroundings . Complaints: Neighbors had reported the Tramview Road home, pictured left, claiming constant barking and a foul smell. Rescuers ended up finding 15 dogs, one pictured right, living alongside their owner Richard Rutgard . The dogs were covered in bite marks and fresh wounds and lived in unsanitary conditions in the single-family home. They all lived alongside their owner Richard Rutgard, according to the report. Animal Rescue Corps President Scotlund Haisley said: 'The house was very typical to hoarding. It was boarded up, windows were boarded up, doors were boarded up, meaning something is in there and they don't want the world to know what's going on inside.' 'Because you have a large number of dogs in a small area, pack mentality, lots of anxiety, they're fighting over food, they're fighting over space, territory. They're ripping each other apart'. Rutgard says he never wanted the dogs to live in poor conditions. Fighting for food: The Animal Rescue Corps said the dogs were injured because the cramped conditions meant they had fought for space and food . Write caption here . Defense: Richard Rutgard complained to a local broadcaster in August that he had been given an un-neutered puppy by the Palm Springs Animal Shelter. He says this is why he ended up with so many dogs . Five months ago he complained to Palm Springs Animal Shelter saying they had given him a dog that wasn't neutered. He took it home to care for it alongside his two female dogs and that's when the puppies started arriving. 'Why did they sell me a dog that wasn't neutered?' he said in an interview with KESQ in August.  ' I'd like to have them [the animal shelter] pay it's like child support for puppies'. The dog-owner was served a notice back then warning he had to get rid of most of the dogs within two months. When asked why he didn't take them back to the home, he added: 'They are so amazingly nice and kind and sweet. I feel safe and secure and happy - they're very therapeutic for a person.' Rescue: The dogs have now been permanently removed from the home, pictured, and will be rehoused . New homes: The dogs rescued in Tuesday's operation, pictured, are now in emergency accommodation at the Palm Springs Rescue Center, right. They will be nursed back to help before hopefully being found new homes . However, they are now in the back in the home and Rutgard faces animal cruelty charges. The dogs will eventually be handed out to new homes across the area . 'Our vet teams are assessing every injury and illness and putting them on a treatment plan,' Haisley added. 'The property owner was very cooperative. He had good intentions but I think he clearly got in over his head and wanted the right thing for these animals.' 'What we see is very difficult, but imagine how rewarding it is to reach into those cages, and break those chains, and look into the eyes of these animals and make them the promise that their suffering has ended forever. It's incredibly rewarding," Haisley added. At the time of Rutgard's complaint Palm Springs Animal Shelter said they would look into the allegations.
Richard Rutgard's property was raided by Animal Rescue Corps where they claim they found 15 dogs living in a cramped space . Labrador and Shepherd mixes had bite marks and open wounds from fights . Rutgard blames Palm Springs Animal Shelter saying his rescue dog wasn't neutered which led to his home becoming overrun with puppies .

'Because you have a large number of dogs in a small area, pack mentality, lots of anxiety, they're fighting over food, they're fighting over space, territory. They're ripping each other apart'. Rutgard says he never wanted the dogs to live in poor conditions. Fighting for food: The Animal Rescue Corps said the dogs were injured because the cramped conditions meant they had fought for space and food . Write caption here . Defense: Richard Rutgard complained to a local broadcaster in August that he had been given an un-neutered puppy by the Palm Springs Animal Shelter. He says this is why he ended up with so many dogs . Five months ago he complained to Palm Springs Animal Shelter saying they had given him a dog that wasn't neutered. He took it home to care for it alongside his two female dogs and that's when the puppies started arriving. 'Why did they sell me a dog that wasn't neutered?' he said in an interview with KESQ in August.  ' I'd like to have them [the animal shelter] pay it's like child support for puppies'. The dog-owner was served a notice back then warning he had to get rid of most of the dogs within two months. When asked why he didn't take them back to the home, he added: 'They are so amazingly nice and kind and sweet. I feel safe and secure and happy - they're very therapeutic for a person.' Rescue: The dogs have now been permanently removed from the home, pictured, and will be rehoused . New homes: The dogs rescued in Tuesday's operation, pictured, are now in emergency accommodation at the Palm Springs Rescue Center, right. They will be nursed back to help before hopefully being found new homes . However, they are now in the back in the home and Rutgard faces animal cruelty charges. The dogs will eventually be handed out to new homes across the area . 'Our vet teams are assessing every injury and illness and putting them on a treatment plan,' Haisley added. 'The property owner was very cooperative. He had good intentions but I think he clearly got in over his head and wanted the right thing for these animals.' 'What we see is very difficult, but imagine how rewarding it is to reach into those cages, and break those chains, and look into the eyes of these animals and make them the promise that their suffering has ended forever. It's incredibly rewarding," Haisley added. At the time of Rutgard's complaint Palm Springs Animal Shelter said they would look into the allegations.

(CNN) -- The recent ordeal of Meriam Yahia Ibrahim Ishag, a Sudanese mother and wife of an American citizen -- coupled with Iran's continued imprisonment of Saeed Abedini, also an American citizen and a pastor -- should awaken our conscience to one grim and inescapable fact: The persecution of Christians continues. Charged with leaving Islam to marry a Christian, despite being raised a Christian and remaining one throughout her 27 years, Meriam was sentenced to death last month for apostasy. After an international outcry, she was released, rearrested, and released again, according to the U.S. State Department. In Sudan and Iran, as well as countries like Saudi Arabia, leaders and movements impose their own extreme interpretations of Islam, while restricting the rights of Christians and other religious minorities. Elsewhere in the Middle East, mass violence as well as repression arises from such movements. In Iraq and Syria, forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) commit horrific abuses against Christians and others, from torture to murder. In Egypt, scores of churches and other Christian structures were burned by radicals last autumn following President Mohamed Morsy's fall. While Christians faced repression under prior regimes like Hosni Mubarak's, their predicament has worsened in a post-Arab Spring world. 7 terrible countries for Christians . With media attention riveted on the Middle East, it is tempting to assume that persecution against Christians occurs almost exclusively in that region. But assaults against Christians are worldwide, transcending any one regional, ideological, or religious bent. Combating this problem entails a much broader solution. According to the findings of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), evidence abounds of persecution elsewhere. In Myanmar (also known as Burma), with a Buddhist majority and a struggling democracy, ethnic-minority Christians, along with Rohingya Muslims, have faced ongoing abuses. Last year, during military incursions in Kachin state, as many as 60 churches were shelled. Military forces have beaten and arrested Christian leaders and kidnapped church members for forced labor. In China, the world's most populous nation, Catholics and Protestants refusing to register with the communist dictatorship face arrests and fines, and their churches are shuttered. China's government has issued a directive to "eradicate" unregistered Protestant churches over the next decade, and even registered churches have recently been bulldozed in Zhejiang province. In Eritrea, a military regime jails up to 3,000 people, mostly evangelical or Pentecostal Christians, on religious grounds. Prisoners have been beaten and tortured. In interviews with USCIRF, released prisoners reported being confined in 20-foot metal shipping containers with extreme temperature fluctuations. In India, the world's largest democracy, Christians face harassment and violence, especially in states with laws restricting religious conversion from Hinduism. In Nigeria, the central government fails to protect Christians, as well as Muslims, from Boko Haram terrorism. In North Korea, a totalitarian tyranny with a cult of personality venerating the ruling Kim family, the government imprisons, tortures, and executes Christians caught transporting Bibles or engaging in missionary endeavors or other banned activities. North Koreans who flee for China and then convert to Christianity are in grave danger when forcibly returned. Punishment includes beatings, torture, forced labor, sexual violence, and forced abortions or infanticide. In Pakistan, Christians face a government that can imprison them unjustly under blasphemy laws while failing to protect them from attacks or punish their attackers. Last September, suicide bombers launched the worst assault against Christians in Pakistan's history, leaving, according to conservative estimates, at least 80 dead and more than 150 other parishioners wounded at a Peshawar church. In Vietnam, a communist government suppresses independent Protestants and other groups operating without government approval. The regime seeks to stop their growth through discrimination, violence, and forced renunciations of faith. Opinion: Extremism fuels abuse of Christians in Mideast . And in a host of post-Soviet countries, Christians in unregistered churches are seriously constrained. In several of these countries, including Uzbekistan, individuals are in prison for belonging to such churches. Abuses against Christians span the globe. A key reason is the confluence of two factors. First, there are more than 2 billion Christians in the world. Second, according to a Pew Research study, in one-third of all nations, containing 75% of the world's people, governments either perpetrate or tolerate serious religious freedom abuses. A six-year Pew study found that over six years, Christians were harassed in 151 countries, the largest of any group surveyed. In other words, given their enormous numbers and wide dispersion across nations, as well as the lack of freedom in many nations, it is no surprise how often Christians are persecuted. Christians are often regarded as alien because some are members of ethnic minorities or are perceived as being identified with Western interests. For despotic governments and religious extremists, Christianity is a dangerous source of competing authority, challenging their claims of absolute supremacy. The bottom line is that Christians are the proverbial canary in the coal mine. Wherever they are persecuted, the right to religious freedom for all is jeopardized. Wherever they are harassed or jailed, detained or discriminated against, tortured or murdered, governments perpetrate or tolerate abuses against others as well. The global persecution of Christians remains a serious indictment against governments and cultures for failing to protect a bedrock human right -- one that is enshrined in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was signed by nearly every nation, and subsequent covenants. We must continue to demand respect for that right, so that Sudanese mothers and others can follow the call of conscience and conduct their lives in peace.
Robert George: Sudanese mother's ordeal shows Christians still persecuted . George: It's wrong to think discrimation against Christians just happens in the Mideast . George: Assaults against Christians transcend regional, ideological, or religious bent . He says a third of 2 billion Christians live in nations that allow abuse of religious freedom .

(CNN) -- The ex-wife of a Texas convict executed in 2004 for the deaths of his three children reaffirmed her belief in his guilt Wednesday as his relatives sought to open a new inquiry into the case. The family of Cameron Todd Willingham has asked a judge to posthumously clear his name, arguing that he was put to death based on "junk science." Though Willingham was executed in 2004 for killing his three daughters by setting fire to his house, subsequent investigations by outside experts have concluded that the fire that killed the girls should not have been ruled arson. Willingham's ex-wife, Stacy Kuykendall, has kept a low profile throughout the debate over his execution. But she told reporters outside the Travis County courthouse in Austin that "I am here to make sure that my daughters' voices are heard." "Todd murdered Amber, Karmon and Kameron. He burnt them," she said. "He admitted he burnt them to me, and he was convicted for his crime. That is the closest to justice that my daughters will ever get." Kuykendall spoke before an Austin judge opened a hearing into the Willingham's family's request for an inquiry into the execution. But inside the courtroom, prosecutors from the town of Corsicana -- where the 1991 fire took place -- forced a delay in the proceedings by challenging the impartiality of District Judge Charlie Baird and asking him to recuse himself. Baird told lawyers he will issue a decision on that request next week, said Gerry Goldstein, a lawyer representing Willingham's stepmother, Eugenia Willingham, and cousin Patricia Cox. Goldstein pointed out that Kuykendall has told differing stories about whether her former husband ever admitted his guilt in the fatal fire, and criticized death-penalty supporters for "parading her on the courthouse steps while they're inside trying to stop proceedings." "What possible harm could there be to their side to have this aired in court?" he asked. Also representing the family is The Innocence Project, led by nationally known defense lawyer Barry Scheck. Lowell Thompson, the district attorney for Navarro County, which includes Corsicana, did not return a phone call seeking comment Wednesday. In asking Baird to open a "court of inquiry" into the execution, Willingham's family argues that he was put to death for a crime "that modern science reveals may never have been committed." State officials failed to act on evidence of "significant deficiencies" in the finding of arson at the heart of the case before the execution, and have "continued to resist attempts to clear Mr. Willingham's name," their petition states. "If we can get a hearing before him or any other fair judge, we're going to go ahead," Goldstein said. The Texas Forensic Science Commission is investigating claims that state fire marshals ruled the fatal blaze arson based on outdated or faulty science. The first of three reports to reach that conclusion was sent to Gov. Rick Perry's office and submitted to appeals courts before Willingham's execution, while two others were conducted after his death. "Despite overwhelming scientific evidence, state officials have continued to demonize Mr. Willingham and defend the arson evidence on which he and others have been convicted," the family's petition states. The Forensic Science Commission was to hear from the author of the most recent of those reports in October 2009. But the panel's deliberations were put off after Perry -- who allowed the execution to go forward -- abruptly shook up the panel, spurring complaints from the Willingham family and allegations that Perry was trying to head off the potential admission that Texas had put an innocent man to death. In July, the commission found that arson investigators used flawed science but were not negligent and did not commit misconduct. A spokeswoman for the governor's office told CNN on Tuesday that Perry, who allowed the execution to go forward, remains convinced of Willingham's guilt. And Corsicana authorities have said that evidence beyond the testimony of state fire marshals supported Willingham's conviction. CNN's Emanuella Grinberg contributed to this report.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.(CNN) -- The ex-wife of a Texas convict executed in 2004 for the deaths of his three children reaffirmed her belief in his guilt Wednesday as his relatives sought to open a new inquiry into the case. The family of Cameron Todd Willingham has asked a judge to posthumously clear his name, arguing that he was put to death based on "junk science." Though Willingham was executed in 2004 for killing his three daughters by setting fire to his house, subsequent investigations by outside experts have concluded that the fire that killed the girls should not have been ruled arson. Willingham's ex-wife, Stacy Kuykendall, has kept a low profile throughout the debate over his execution. But she told reporters outside the Travis County courthouse in Austin that "I am here to make sure that my daughters' voices are heard." "Todd murdered Amber, Karmon and Kameron. He burnt them," she said. "He admitted he burnt them to me, and he was convicted for his crime. That is the closest to justice that my daughters will ever get." Kuykendall spoke before an Austin judge opened a hearing into the Willingham's family's request for an inquiry into the execution. But inside the courtroom, prosecutors from the town of Corsicana -- where the 1991 fire took place -- forced a delay in the proceedings by challenging the impartiality of District Judge Charlie Baird and asking him to recuse himself. Baird told lawyers he will issue a decision on that request next week, said Gerry Goldstein, a lawyer representing Willingham's stepmother, Eugenia Willingham, and cousin Patricia Cox.

Getting stuck behind - or worse, crashing into - a slow-strolling pedestrian who is engrossed in their cellphone is one of the great frustrations of navigating any metropolis in a hurry. With that in mind, National Geographic has introduced separate lanes for cellphone and non-cellphone using pedestrians, at a busy block on Washington DC's 18th Street. It's part of a social experiment for the channel's new Mind Over Masses science series, which 'uses what we know about human behavior' to develop 'interactive solutions to everyday problems.' Human traffic: As part of National Geographic's Mind Over Masses TV show, a sidewalk was split into two sections; one for cellphone users and the other for those not using a cellphone, in downtown Washington . National Geographic Channel spokesman Chad Sandhas acknowledged the channel was behind the temporary signage and said pedestrians' reactions were being filmed for Mind Over Masses. But he declined to discuss details of the experiment during the filming, which he said would continue today. According to a notice on the website of . Washington's Office of Motion Picture and Television Development, which . issued the film permit, the show planned to create 'fast and slow lanes' on the sidewalk, 'allowing participants to choose.' Will it work? The stunt is part of a social experiment, which 'uses what we know about human behavior' to develop 'interactive solutions to everyday problems' Total rebel: Either this man disapproved of the pedestrian lanes concept, or, ironically, was too busy looking at his phone to see the signs . On Thursday afternoon, many pedestrians seemed to ignore the markings, though there were some who took pictures of the novel signage. Another mystery aspect of the experiment involved someone wearing a gorilla suit eating a banana, which also drew attention from passers-by. Irene Fadakar, 54, a secretary who was walking past the spectacle, said she noticed the markings at the beginning of the sidewalk. But she acknowledged that less than a block later she was back on her phone, walking in the lane marked 'no cellphones.'

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- The woman allegedly assaulted by singer Chris Brown in Hollywood early Sunday was his girlfriend, singer Rihanna, according to sources close to the couple. Chris Brown attends a party saluting music producer Clive Davis in Beverly Hills, California, on Saturday. While Los Angeles Police have a policy against identifying alleged domestic violence victims, two people who know both Brown and Rihanna confirmed she was the woman police said had "suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker." Brown, 19, turned himself in to police Sunday night after police said they were looking for him. He was arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats. Brown was later released on a $50,000 bond and given a March 5 court date. "Detectives investigating the alleged domestic violence felony battery booked him for criminal threats," a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department said. "At the time the case is presented to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, additional charges may be filed." Brown, nominated for two Grammy Awards, was scheduled to perform at the show. His girlfriend, singer Rihanna, abruptly canceled her planned Grammys performance, but neither her spokesman nor the show organizers gave a reason. "Rihanna is well," her spokesman said in a written statement. "Thank you for concern and support." Watch the latest developments in the case » . Brown, 19, and Rihanna, 20, were seen together Saturday night at a pre-Grammys dinner at the Beverly Hills Hilton, about five miles from where police said the alleged incident happened at 12:30 a.m. Sunday. The police statement said Brown and a woman were in a vehicle near Hollywood's Hancock Park when "they became involved in an argument." "After stopping his car, Brown and the woman got out and the argument escalated," police said. After receiving a 911 call at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, officers found the woman at the scene of the alleged fight, but Brown had left, the department said. Investigators were treating the incident as a possible felony battery case, police said. Executives with Brown's record label at the Grammy Awards told CNN they knew nothing about the incident and declined further comment. Brown was nominated for two Grammys this year, including in the best male R&B vocal performance category for his song "Take You Down." He also shares a best pop collaboration with vocals nomination with Jordin Sparks for "No Air." The introduction to the CBS broadcast of the Grammys, apparently pretaped, listed both Brown and Rihanna as performers.

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- A Georgia man suspected of shooting to death a 21-year-old up-and-coming rapper at a ritzy Los Angeles shopping center Monday afternoon is being held on $1 million bail, Los Angeles Police said. Rap artist Dolla arrives at the Soul Train Music Awards in Pasadena, California, on March 10, 2007. Dolla, whose real name is Roderick Anthony Burton II, was shot in the head about 3:10 p.m. at the Beverly Center, his publicist said. Police later arrested Aubrey Louis Berry, 23, at Los Angeles International Airport, a Los Angeles Police statement said. No other details were given about Berry, who was arrested on suspicion of murder. Dolla, who was based in Atlanta, Georgia, was in Los Angeles recording his debut album. He caught the attention of multiplatinium R&B singer Akon when the then-12-year-old Dolla was performing with friends at showcases around Atlanta. The two collaborated on Dolla's first single, "Who the F--- is That?" which also featured another high-profile singer, T-Pain. Another Dolla song, "Feelin' Myself," appeared on the soundtrack to the 2006 movie "Step Up." According to his MySpace page, Dolla was born in Chicago, Illinois. His twin sister died at birth due to complications from an enlarged heart. The family moved to Atlanta after Dolla's father committed suicide -- while Dolla, then 5, and another sister watched from their parents' bed, the Web page said. Dolla began composing rhymes in elementary school and decided to pursue a career in music. A source close to the record company said Dolla had just arrived in Los Angeles to work on his debut album. Funeral services, which will be held in Atlanta, will be announced later, publicist Sue Vannasing said.

By . Steve Nolan . PUBLISHED: . 07:55 EST, 27 January 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 12:40 EST, 27 January 2013 . Fresh footage of the nightmare faced by drivers stranded during heavy snowfall has emerged as one of the UK's busiest motorways ground to a halt during a blizzard in the early hours of Saturday morning. Some drivers were stuck for as long as eight hours on the M6 between junctions 25 and 27 between Wigan and Chorley in Lancashire after a sudden deluge of snow. But as the footage shows, not everyone was willing to sit tight and wait for driving conditions to improve. Scroll down for video . In a hurry: While most motorists took the sensible option of sitting out the snow until driving conditions improved, some motorists, including the driver of this lorry, left, decided to speed through four inches of snow on the hard shoulder of the M6 . Impatient: The lorry is pictured flying up the hard shoulder spraying waiting cars with snow . Following suit: Seeing the progress made by the lorry, a white van follows suit flying up the hard shoulder of the M6 . Reckless: It's not just the hard shoulder that drivers are using to get ahead, a white van drives up the snow covered fast lane on the M6 on Friday night . Treacherous: A huge tailback of traffic pictured stranded on the M6 motorway late on Friday night after heavy snowfall . Chaos: The M6 motorway was blocked in both directions between junctions 25 and 27 in Lancashire when a sudden burst of more than a foot of snow brought drivers to a standstill around 8.30pm, the Highways Agency said . Jackknifed: A lorry is stranded in heavy snow on the M6 in the early hours of Saturday morning . The footage shows several drivers, including one in a heavy haulage vehicle flying down the hard shoulder of the M6 trying to beat the giant tailbacks. The motorway ground to a halt at around 8.30pm on Friday night after light sleet turned into a heavy snow drift which brought more than a foot of snow. Some drivers helped other motorists, while others took the time to have friendly snowball fights or build snowmen on the carriageway. But as the footage shows other people were a little bit more desperate to get to their final destination. Eye witnesses reported that a number of vehicles tried to drive around the blocked traffic using the hard shoulder but ended up crashing in the bad weather causing further tailbacks. Other drivers said that some drivers were so desperate to move that their cars were sliding from side to side, colliding with other vehicles. Bizarre: MP David Morris tweeted this picture of a snowman built on top of a car on the M6 during blizzard-like conditions on Friday night . Chief Inspector Mike Adamson said: 'We realised at about 11pm (on Friday night) that this was going to be a major incident. 'Some of the drivers and passengers have been stuck for hours - it has been a very difficult night for them. 'We have set up a command centre at Charnock Services, where officers have collected hot drinks and taken them to those who are stuck.' Mountain rescue workers walked along the four-mile stretch of the M6 in Lancashire overnight to check on the condition of drivers. A diabetic man was taken to Royal Blackburn Hospital, while an ambulance taking a female patient to Royal Preston Hospital had to be dug out of the snow by Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue team. Phil O'Brien, team leader of Bowland Pennine Mountain Rescue, said: 'It was potentially a very serious situation. The Highways Agency managed to get people moving at about 4.30 to 5am. 'There were hundreds of cars stuck but most people seemed in good spirits.' But while some drivers lightheartedly entertained themselves with snowball fights and building snowmen, one woman who got stuck on the M6 travelling home to Bootle from Wigan described the it as the 'scariest experience' she had had in 26 years of driving. Louise Jones, who spent five hours on the motorway making the 20 mile trip home, told ITV: 'We did not move at all, three lanes of cars were totally gridlocked. For the first three hours we left the engine running to keep warm, then turned it off and every car we could see was just sitting in the darkness, it was really eerie how silent it was. 'Eventually a snow plough drove along the hard shoulder at about 1am, then we saw nothing moving until a police car at 1.40am. Too dangerous: A car is left abandoned on a slip road beside junction 25 of the M6 in Lancashire . Abandoned: The driver of this car decided it was too dangerous to continue trying to drive and abandoned their car next to a slip road on the M6 . 'It really was horrendous. I can't understand why it took so long to clear enough space to direct traffic through. It was a total farce.' Lancashire Police also worked with Lancashire Mountain Rescue teams, the Highways Agency and neighbouring force Greater Manchester Police to clear roads and provide welfare assistance to those who were stranded. The Highway Agency worked throughout the night to clear the routes with snow ploughs. Kevin Collister, who was stuck on the motorway just past the M58 junction heading northbound, told Sky News: 'There is absolutely no movement whatsoever on my side of the carriageway, all the snow is squashed down into ice and there are wagons trying to move and sliding sideways.' He described how his 45 minute journey ended up taking right hours and claimed there were no emergency services in sight. He told the TV station: 'It was very heavy snow and absolute chaos. It was absolutely freezing. 'We saw one Highways Agency car drive past us and that was all. On the move: The M6 was moving again yesterday morning after some drivers were stranded for as long as eight hours overnight on Friday . Scene: The M6 was closed between junction 25 and 27 . 'It was only good Samaritans like us who went around to check on other drivers and make sure they were okay.' 'Everyone knew we were going to be there for a few hours so we all just made the best of it. People were having snowball fights over the central reservation and building snowmen to pass the time. 'I eventually got home at 6am this morning so was stuck for about ten hours.' Another person claimed a burger van stranded on the M6 started serving food to other drivers stuck on the M6. Paul Kingston tweeted: 'Motorists caught in M6 #uksnow storm in Lancs last night were saved from hunger, after stranded burger van opens up shop on carriageway.' Conservative MP for Morecambe & Lunesdale David Morris, who was stuck on the southbound carriageway, reported surreal scenes but a camaraderie among the drivers stuck in the snow. Deluge: It wasn't just the M6 that was affected by heavy snow. Pictured here is the B6479 in Horton, Ribblehead, North Yorkshire . Work cut out: A tractor with a snow plough attempts to clear some of the snow off the B6255 in Ribblehead, north Yorkshire . All white: Selside North Yorkshire, pictured in heavy snow on Friday . He told Mail Online: 'The snow just came out of nowhere -'I've never seen anything like it in my life. 'I set off around 8pm to go and pick up my son from Manchester and there was a little bit of sleet . 'But when I got on the M6 it just came down really suddenly. I'd already seen several gritters on the road but there was so much snow in such a short space of time there was little they could do. 'The traffic ground to a halt as the snow got heavier and we just started to get snowed in. 'The emergency services were fantastic and the Mountain Rescue Service and police were driving up and down the hard shoulder checking on people while they worked on getting the traffic flowing again. 'A few people have asked me if I don't think the gritters should have done a better a job but I don't think there's more they could have done. There was so much snow that the grit had little impact.'

Kevin Collister, who was stuck on the motorway just past the M58 junction heading northbound, told Sky News: 'There is absolutely no movement whatsoever on my side of the carriageway, all the snow is squashed down into ice and there are wagons trying to move and sliding sideways.' He described how his 45 minute journey ended up taking right hours and claimed there were no emergency services in sight. He told the TV station: 'It was very heavy snow and absolute chaos. It was absolutely freezing. 'We saw one Highways Agency car drive past us and that was all. On the move: The M6 was moving again yesterday morning after some drivers were stranded for as long as eight hours overnight on Friday . Scene: The M6 was closed between junction 25 and 27 . 'It was only good Samaritans like us who went around to check on other drivers and make sure they were okay.' 'Everyone knew we were going to be there for a few hours so we all just made the best of it. People were having snowball fights over the central reservation and building snowmen to pass the time. 'I eventually got home at 6am this morning so was stuck for about ten hours.' Another person claimed a burger van stranded on the M6 started serving food to other drivers stuck on the M6. Paul Kingston tweeted: 'Motorists caught in M6 #uksnow storm in Lancs last night were saved from hunger, after stranded burger van opens up shop on carriageway.' Conservative MP for Morecambe & Lunesdale David Morris, who was stuck on the southbound carriageway, reported surreal scenes but a camaraderie among the drivers stuck in the snow. Deluge: It wasn't just the M6 that was affected by heavy snow. Pictured here is the B6479 in Horton, Ribblehead, North Yorkshire . Work cut out: A tractor with a snow plough attempts to clear some of the snow off the B6255 in Ribblehead, north Yorkshire . All white: Selside North Yorkshire, pictured in heavy snow on Friday . He told Mail Online: 'The snow just came out of nowhere -'I've never seen anything like it in my life. 'I set off around 8pm to go and pick up my son from Manchester and there was a little bit of sleet . 'But when I got on the M6 it just came down really suddenly. I'd already seen several gritters on the road but there was so much snow in such a short space of time there was little they could do. 'The traffic ground to a halt as the snow got heavier and we just started to get snowed in. 'The emergency services were fantastic and the Mountain Rescue Service and police were driving up and down the hard shoulder checking on people while they worked on getting the traffic flowing again. 'A few people have asked me if I don't think the gritters should have done a better a job but I don't think there's more they could have done. There was so much snow that the grit had little impact.'

(CNN) -- Managing Ebola demands as much of our diligence in infection control practice as SARS did. And though Ebola may, in theory, be less contagious than the airborne SARS or Middle East respiratory syndrome viruses, it is spread through direct contact with infected body fluids or organs and has been demonstrably and tragically more fatal. The SARS experience in Canada, though harrowing at the time, has helped us better prepare. In 2003, 224 people in Toronto were diagnosed with SARS, and 38 people died. SARS, which stands for severe acute respiratory syndrome, had originated in China and became a worldwide epidemic. No longer are highly infectious diseases a world away. We have become more sensitive about just how global any infectious disease can be, and that it's easy enough to "import" a disease. SARS also reminded us that many infections may be spread and acquired by patients, visitors and staff in health care settings. After SARS, that sensitivity translated into planning and implementation for the eventuality that a patient with another infectious disease may present at our door. We are ready with protocols in place, in particular for adequate screening with the travel history of new patients, providing health care providers with personal protective equipment and ongoing training in its appropriate use, and ensuring rigorous environmental cleaning practices for all patient care areas. We regularly engage our health care providers on the critical importance of knowing how to appropriately put on and remove personal protective equipment. We have the advantage of learning from experiences in West Africa. Many of the centers that have been set up for dealing with Ebola patients there now use a buddy system to help ensure that everyone puts on and takes off personal protective equipment in the safest way possible, and we are going to be implementing that policy here. The SARS experience also increased our emphasis on proper hand hygiene. One cannot just rely on the barriers like personal protective equipment. We need to also rely on the important and fundamental practice of cleaning one's hands. Proper hand hygiene includes washing with soap and water, or use of an alcohol-based hand wash rub, before and after each patient contact. We and other facilities across the country conduct regular audits for hand hygiene compliance. Planning and implementation require resources and expertise, and there is no question that after SARS, nationally and federally, our government acknowledged and addressed the need to strengthen our public health services. Hospitals were given additional resources to ensure they had appropriate infection prevention and control infrastructure, including adequate isolation facilities across the country. Hospital accreditation standards and guidelines were also substantially bolstered to ensure adequate attention to infection prevention and control. More policies were developed to address these kinds of wide-impact infectious diseases scenarios. SARS also taught us the importance of communication, consistent messages, and accountability for dealing with these types of wide-impact events, and of making everyone aware -- both internally to patients and staff, and externally to the community served by the hospital -- of the situation and what measures were being implemented. Today, our lines of communication are much more open. We began a planning process months ago in collaboration with public health agencies for the eventuality that an Ebola patient may present at our hospital. It is not an eventuality we look forward to, but given the lessons we have learned, we are better informed and prepared.

When asking Hollywood celebrities what they love about England you'd think they'd say the history, the buildings - or most likely, accent. So this latest revelation from Gwyneth Paltrow may come as quite a shock. Despite having a bank balance healthier than most, the 39-year old actress has revealed her love of Boots the Chemist. In a recent interview the mother-of-two said: 'One of the many exciting things about living in England for a good part of the year is the perpetual discovery. 'Boots is almost as ubiquitous as the pub here in England. Everyone raves about Boots' own line No7 and their range of high quality cosmetics, moisturisers and cleansers.' Bargain beauty: Since moving to the UK Gwyneth Paltrow has become a fan of the No7 range at Boots . The high street chain became popular with Brits following the discovery by scientists from BBC's Horizons programme that the No7 Perfect and Protect cream was a 'miracle product'. Shoppers queued for hours to test it out and stores had to ration purchases after many sold out in minutes. But Gwyneth isn't the only A-lister to admit to being a fan of the popular chemist. Even royalty shop there. The Duchess of Cambridge, 30, is often spotted at her local branch buying Nivea Visage Pure and Natural Moisturising Day crea, which costs just £5.10.

Lather up: Jennifer Aniston swears by Neutrogena soap: 'I've been using it since High School' Even Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr doesn't break the bank with an expensive beauty routine.

I personally take four tablespoons per day, either on my salads, in . my cooking or in my cups of green tea,' the model explained. The Secret's out: Model Miranda Kerr says that blemish-free skin is thanks to her addiction to coconut oil . But for Golden Globe nominee Emma Stone, 23, her sensitive skin may limit the choice but a £3.49 bottle of grapeseed oil works wonders.

Beijing (CNN) -- China's recent economic downturn is spurring a new wave of worker strikes, which experts say are the only effective channel for them to air their grievances. Thousands of workers at the Yucheng Footwear Factory in Dongguan, a manufacturing hub in southern Guangdong province, clashed with police last week to demand better pay. Factory managers laid off 18 employees and cut overtime after a drop in overseas orders --prompting employees to demonstrate at the local government building. "The slow-down strike is still on but there's no street protest because the police have been mobilized," said one worker, who asked to remain anonymous when interviewed by phone five days after the labor action. "A dozen workers got injured during the clash and were sent to hospital." China labor unrest flares as orders fall . The protest is one of many to hit manufacturers operating in southern Guangdong province -- the "workshop of the world" -- as increasingly frustrated workers vent their discontent at low pay and poor working conditions. "This is probably the most intense spike in worker activism since the wave of strikes that hit Chinese manufacturers in summer 2010," said Geoffrey Crothall of China Labor Bulletin, a Hong Kong-based group that monitors labor issues in China. In June, workers at the Toyota and Honda Motor plants in southern China went on strike, halting production and forcing pay hikes. Experts attribute the spike in protests to employers maximizing their shrinking profits at the expense of workers. "There are a broad range of complaints but they are basically related to being squeezed by their employers who are themselves making less profit," said Crothall. "Also many businesses in the Pearl River Delta are planning to relocate inland and this is creating uncertainty and anxiety among the workforce." China's economy has become the world's second largest after three decades of rapid growth, and much of that growth has been driven by exports and large infrastructure projects. But lately, the economic engine has been running out of gas. China's mighty industrial engine is stalling . Home sales fell 25% last month and a report this week said manufacturing may be at a three-year low. The economy grew 9.1% last quarter from a year ago, the lowest since 2009, but inflation still hovered at 5.5% in October. Chinese officials have tried to boost the economy with wage increases. Several provinces and cities have increased wages this year. Shanghai raised its minimum wage by 17%, while Guangdong, China's export base, boosted theirs by an average of 21%. Some experts say the salary hikes will accelerate the country's industrial restructuring, saying higher labor costs will force enterprises to be more technologically advanced and transform China's export-oriented economic growth model to one that is boosted by domestic demand. But others worry the wage hikes may lead to massive layoffs in companies already facing increased factory payrolls and production costs, leading to labor unrest. The specter of large-scale labor unrest worries Chinese officials whose fear of "luan" (chaos) is close to visceral. "Labor unrest is a glaring reminder to them that their attempts to reduce social injustice and income disparity are not working," opined Crothall. "They are trying manage social and economic disputes in the usual administrative top-down manner without giving workers a voice in resolving their own grievances. That is why workers have no choice but to take to streets to make their voices heard." China strictly bans independent unions. It worries that independent union members might challenge the government as the Solidarity movement did in Poland. The authorities are quick to suppress any labor group not under their direct control. Workers can only turn to the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, a government-sanctioned organization whose primary mission is to support Communist party policies and seek basic compensation for workers.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.Beijing (CNN) -- China's recent economic downturn is spurring a new wave of worker strikes, which experts say are the only effective channel for them to air their grievances. Thousands of workers at the Yucheng Footwear Factory in Dongguan, a manufacturing hub in southern Guangdong province, clashed with police last week to demand better pay. Factory managers laid off 18 employees and cut overtime after a drop in overseas orders --prompting employees to demonstrate at the local government building. "The slow-down strike is still on but there's no street protest because the police have been mobilized," said one worker, who asked to remain anonymous when interviewed by phone five days after the labor action. "A dozen workers got injured during the clash and were sent to hospital." China labor unrest flares as orders fall . The protest is one of many to hit manufacturers operating in southern Guangdong province -- the "workshop of the world" -- as increasingly frustrated workers vent their discontent at low pay and poor working conditions. "This is probably the most intense spike in worker activism since the wave of strikes that hit Chinese manufacturers in summer 2010," said Geoffrey Crothall of China Labor Bulletin, a Hong Kong-based group that monitors labor issues in China. In June, workers at the Toyota and Honda Motor plants in southern China went on strike, halting production and forcing pay hikes. Experts attribute the spike in protests to employers maximizing their shrinking profits at the expense of workers. "There are a broad range of complaints but they are basically related to being squeezed by their employers who are themselves making less profit," said Crothall. "Also many businesses in the Pearl River Delta are planning to relocate inland and this is creating uncertainty and anxiety among the workforce." China's economy has become the world's second largest after three decades of rapid growth, and much of that growth has been driven by exports and large infrastructure projects. But lately, the economic engine has been running out of gas. China's mighty industrial engine is stalling . Home sales fell 25% last month and a report this week said manufacturing may be at a three-year low. The economy grew 9.1% last quarter from a year ago, the lowest since 2009, but inflation still hovered at 5.5% in October. Chinese officials have tried to boost the economy with wage increases. Several provinces and cities have increased wages this year. Shanghai raised its minimum wage by 17%, while Guangdong, China's export base, boosted theirs by an average of 21%. Some experts say the salary hikes will accelerate the country's industrial restructuring, saying higher labor costs will force enterprises to be more technologically advanced and transform China's export-oriented economic growth model to one that is boosted by domestic demand. But others worry the wage hikes may lead to massive layoffs in companies already facing increased factory payrolls and production costs, leading to labor unrest. The specter of large-scale labor unrest worries Chinese officials whose fear of "luan" (chaos) is close to visceral. "Labor unrest is a glaring reminder to them that their attempts to reduce social injustice and income disparity are not working," opined Crothall. "They are trying manage social and economic disputes in the usual administrative top-down manner without giving workers a voice in resolving their own grievances. That is why workers have no choice but to take to streets to make their voices heard." China strictly bans independent unions. It worries that independent union members might challenge the government as the Solidarity movement did in Poland. The authorities are quick to suppress any labor group not under their direct control. Workers can only turn to the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, a government-sanctioned organization whose primary mission is to support Communist party policies and seek basic compensation for workers. With no means of collective bargaining, workers resort to petitioning the government -- or illegal protests. He Yuancheng, who works at the Laowei Law Firm, said workers typically go on strike due to lack of labor union or organizations that can genuinely represent their interests. "The workers' main complaint is the lack of channel, a system, that can allow them to fight for their interests," he said. "They can only resort to strikes to assert their rights and to counterbalance the power of the employer." He, whose Guangdong-based law firm mainly handles labor rights cases, said the Chinese authorities would be better off allowing trade unions if they wish to avert luan and maintain social stability. "To protect worker's rights is to protect stability," he added. "Only when rights are protected can stability be realized."

A university student who was raped after being ‘turfed off’ the last bus home because she was 20p short of the fare, has revealed how she offered to pay the money next time she travelled with the company. A harrowing police interview filmed days after the attack was shown to the jury today, in which the 22-year-old victim told officers she was left 'feeling depressed' after the bus driver refused to wait so she could withdraw extra money from a nearby cash dispenser. Some . of the woman’s injuries -  bruising, swelling and cuts to her face - were . still clearly visible on the film, which was recorded 12 days after she . was attacked on December 10 last year. The law student was left stranded in Nottingham city centre at 3am and after walking for less than a mile, the prosecution claim she was targeted by drink-fuelled Joseph Moran, 19, who then allegedly launched a ‘savage’ attack. 'Turfed off': The woman, 22, was said to have been thrown off the late-night bus in Nottingham because she was 20p short of the bus fare . Today it was revealed to the jury she also said to the driver that her mother could meet the bus at the end of her journey and hand the driver the missing 20p. Both offers were refused by the driver. Recalling how she felt about being stranded alone, the woman told police: 'I remember having a gross sense of injustice that he (the driver) wouldn’t let me on.' The victim said: 'I was . counting out how much money I had. I remember it being 20p short, it . might have been more or a bit less than that. 'I remember having a conversation with the bus driver. I said I was ‘short’ and I said could I get on anyway and he said 'no.' The victim said her last memory of the night was walking towards home alone. She could recall nothing about the attack and her next memory was waking up in hospital about 8.30am the same day. Attack: The woman was allegedly set upon and raped at Nottingham's Forest Recreation Ground . Michael Auty, prosecuting, told the court the . woman 'was effectively turfed off the bus and left stranded in . Nottingham city centre at 3am in the morning.' She then called her mother who agreed to pick her up in the family car. The . victim volunteered to walk a short distance to the edge of the city . centre so her mother would not have to negotiate a one-way system she . was unfamiliar with and to avoid driving on streets busy with late-night . revellers. Nottingham Crown Court heard the victim was grabbed by the neck and dragged in to Nottingham’s Forest Recreation Ground where she was beaten and raped. Her ‘substantial’ injuries included black eyes, a badly swollen face and bruises to her body, breasts and neck. Mr Auty said the injuries were so . severe that when her mother first saw her at hospital, she did not at . first recognise her daughter. Mr Auty described the attack as 'savage and almost devoid of any mercy.' Mr . Auty told the jury that 'in the cruelest of circumstances' the mother . had pulled up on a stretch of the road where she expected her daughter . to be walking, and just yards from where she had been attacked. Tragic: A night bus drives through Nottingham. The victim tried to get on board a similar one but was refused because she was 20p short . The . mother called her daughter’s mobile phone twice and on each occasion . she could hear a male voice making 'grunting' sounds before the line . went dead. Police in a passing patrol car stopped to ask the mother if was all okay and she explained that she was looking for her daughter, who, unbeknown to her and the officers, lay injured nearby. Moments later the defendant ran to the police car and banged on the roof. The court heard he told the officers he had been walking through the park and had come across the victim who had already been attacked. Accused: Joseph Moran, 19, denied rape and wounding at Nottingham Crown Court, and claimed he was the one who spotted the attacked girl . He . told the officers 'you had better come quick. I think a girl has been . raped or something.' He claimed to the officers that mud and the woman’s . blood were transferred to his body and clothes when he tried to help . her to her feet. The girl was found nearby sat with her knees pulled tight to her chin and she was naked from the waist down. When . told he was being arrested on suspicion of attacking the woman,the . defendant replied: 'This is what you get for trying to help someone.' Tests . showed the defendant was around two-and-a-half times over the legal . drink-drive limit. There were also traces of cannabis and cocaine inside . his body. Mr Auty alleged Moran panicked when he spotted the nearby police car and quickly fabricated his story. 'He made out he was her saviour, her knight in shining armour,' said Mr Auty. The . victim told how she and fellow students celebrated the end of exams . with a lunch-time glass of mulled wine at a Christmas fair in . Nottingham’s Old Market Square. She then returned home and helped her . mother with the weekly supermarket shop before returning to Nottingham . to continue her end-of-examination celebrations. The . student watched friends in a band play at a bar before moving on to a . house party and ending the night at a city centre club. Moron, of Sneinton, Nottingham, denies rape and wounding.

Accused: Joseph Moran, 19, denied rape and wounding at Nottingham Crown Court, and claimed he was the one who spotted the attacked girl . He . told the officers 'you had better come quick. I think a girl has been . raped or something.' He claimed to the officers that mud and the woman’s . blood were transferred to his body and clothes when he tried to help . her to her feet. The girl was found nearby sat with her knees pulled tight to her chin and she was naked from the waist down. When . told he was being arrested on suspicion of attacking the woman,the . defendant replied: 'This is what you get for trying to help someone.' Tests . showed the defendant was around two-and-a-half times over the legal . drink-drive limit. There were also traces of cannabis and cocaine inside . his body. Mr Auty alleged Moran panicked when he spotted the nearby police car and quickly fabricated his story. 'He made out he was her saviour, her knight in shining armour,' said Mr Auty. The . victim told how she and fellow students celebrated the end of exams . with a lunch-time glass of mulled wine at a Christmas fair in . Nottingham’s Old Market Square. She then returned home and helped her . mother with the weekly supermarket shop before returning to Nottingham . to continue her end-of-examination celebrations. The . student watched friends in a band play at a bar before moving on to a . house party and ending the night at a city centre club. Moron, of Sneinton, Nottingham, denies rape and wounding. The trial continues. Sorry we are unable to accept comments for legal reasons.

(CNN) -- Pilots of the Air France flight that crashed in 2009 and plummeted 38,000 ft in just three minutes and 30 seconds, lost vital speed data, France's Bureau of Investigation and Analysis (BEA) said Friday. Pilots on the aircraft got conflicting air speeds in the minutes leading up to the crash, the interim reports states. Air crash investigators at the Paris-based BEA have been working on the theory that the speed sensors, known as pitot tubes or probes, malfunctioned because of ice at high altitude. Since the accident, Air France has replaced the pitots on its Airbus fleet with a newer model.

(CNN) -- For the second time in less than week, Venezuela has announced the nationalization of a manufacturing plant, this time a privately owned steel mill. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Sunday his government will take over the Sidetur steel manufacturing plant. Chavez announced October 25 that the government was nationalizing two U.S.-owned Owens-Illinois glass-manufacturing plants. Jose Paredes, the vice minister for basic industries and mining, said the government needs to take over the Sidetur plant because it was not providing enough steel to meet the nation's construction demands. "This business needs to meet the needs of the country," Paredes was quoted as saying by the state-run Agencia Venezolana de Noticias. Sidetur is owned by Vivencia, which had two mineral plants appropriated by the government in 2008. Chavez also nationalized the nation's largest steel plant, Sidor, in 2008. The leftist president has had a history of nationalizing industries and land holdings during his 11-year tenure. Last year, he nationalized a local unit of U.S. food giant Cargill. He previously has appropriated privately owned oil, telecommunications, power and cement companies.

Published: . 18:22 EST, 5 April 2014 . | . Updated: . 09:26 EST, 6 April 2014 . Some of the biggest names in shopping – Asda, Morrisons and department store Selfridges – are backing a Parliamentary offensive to extend Sunday trading hours. The retailers and some MPs want to relax laws in England and Wales which prevent large stores opening for more than six hours on Sundays. Asda is one of the big players calling for changes to be implemented in the regulations governing opening times . Conservative MP Philip Davies, vice-chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Retail Group, said:  ‘I would like to scrap the Sunday trading restrictions altogether. The sky has not fallen in Scotland where there are no such rules. Philip Davies MP: 'The sky has not fallen in Scotland where there are no such rules' ‘We are living with a ridiculous anomaly. If people want to keep Sunday special that is fine, they can do so. It is about freedom of choice.’ Under the Sunday Trading Act 1994 shops of over 300,000 sq ft can only open for a maximum of six hours on a Sunday and not before 10am. But Mr Davies believes that with the growth of online shopping, the time is right for a change. He intends this week to table a series of amendments to the Deregulation Bill going through Parliament, with MPs being given a chance for a free vote before the summer. These will include options to abolish restrictions altogether, to allow extra hours for stores to open on Sundays, or to give local authorities the power to decide. An amendment allowing large garden centres to open for eight hours on Sundays is also expected. Two years ago, the Government suspended the Sunday trading laws during the Olympic Games and allowed stores to open for eight hours. Asda, Morrisons and Selfridges have now told Ministers they would like the extra opening hours to be permanent. Should shops be allowed to open for longer on Sundays? DIY store B&Q supports the principle but is not campaigning. However, the Home Retail Group – which includes Homebase, Argos and Habitat – Sainsbury’s and Waitrose are against any change. John Lewis, Next and Lidl had nothing to say on the issue when approached. The Keep Sunday Special Campaign said extended Sunday opening in 2012 was a flop.

Nutcracking is on the verge of becoming a lost art as sales of pre-shelled nuts continue to rise . A digital ‘e-card’ isn’t a patch on a paper Christmas greeting. A Skype call with Santa is no replacement for sitting on his knee. And a packet of pre-shelled walnuts is no substitute for the joy of spraying bits of shell shrapnel across the living room as you smash them up. Nevertheless, nutcracking is on the verge of becoming a lost art. It seems we just can’t be bothered to break into the Christmas nuts ourselves. For example, while sales of pre-shelled nuts and fruit-and-nut mixtures at Asda are up by 60 per cent compared with a year ago, sales of whole nuts in shells are down. Iron lever nutcrackers date back to the 13th century. The first use of the term in the English language was in 1481, when the Petty Customs Account recorded a dozen nutcrackers being traded. The mothballing of the nut-cracker would not just be bad news for those who enjoy taking their frustration out on some macadamias as another family argument breaks out. And our festive decor would be poorer — an overflowing basket of nuts in their shells is a visual delight. The change depresses Marlena Spieler, writer of more than 70 cookbooks, who says: ‘I like the experience of nutcracking more than the eating. Even the flavour is different. They taste so fresh, unlike the way they taste already shelled. ‘And it’s good for kids to see where nuts actually come from — and that they don’t grow in plastic packets.’ Furthermore, a recent study found that snackers who eat nuts in shells consume fewer calories than those who opt for the pre-shelled variety. The simple trick works because the sight of the piles of discarded shells acts as a visual reminder of how much you have eaten and discourages you from over-indulging. So, for those keen to cling onto a British tradition, which are the nutcrackers worth shelling out for? If you want one in time for Christmas, make sure you order today (the last day for Royal Mail to deliver first class packages in time), or if you wait until next week, ensure your order is being delivered by courier.

Alessi is loved by its customers for its sleek Italian design — but don’t expect it to come cheap. This £69 cracker, made of polished stainless steel, would be a beautiful addition to any mantelpiece as much as a functional kitchen utensil. You simply flick the tail forward for the little squirrel to tap open the nut with its paws, and the wooden base has holes of two sizes to accommodate smaller and larger nuts. The gizmo is solid and does crack the nuts, but it lacks the control that a hand-held nutcracker would give you and some nuts take several tries to break.

The only robot that doesn’t even require a couple of AA batteries. And with its retro paint job, it will look lovely sitting on your kitchen shelf. ANTLERED APPARATUS .

Cast-iron nutcracker . £30, roullierwhite.com . Even the toughest nut won’t get past this cast-iron contraption. It may look like a torture device, but its makers promise that it ‘allows a precise application of pressure to break the nut shell without damaging the nut inside’. Made of solid cast-iron, with a steel spindle, it is inspired by the classic design by Robert Welch, the acclaimed 20th century English designer and silversmith. NUTS ABOUT MAGGIE . Margaret Thatcher nutcracker . From 99p, eBay.co.uk . This novelty nutcracker may or may not be on the Christmas lists of die-hard fans of Mrs T, depending on how offbeat their sense of humour. Ironically, this version of the Iron Lady is actually made of plastic and as such feels fairly flimsy when dealing with hard nuts, and leaves you worrying that a leg might shatter at any moment. Best used for softer almonds, or enjoyed merely as a Christmas talking point. Margaret Thatcher nutcracker, from 99p, eBay.co.uk, is made of plastic so best used for softer almonds .

Davos, Switzerland (CNN) -- The head of Airbus says the European aviation giant will take care to learn from its own mistakes -- and rival Boeing's -- ahead of the launch of its new widebody A350 aircraft. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos Thursday, Airbus CEO Fabrice Bregier told CNN's Richard Quest that teething problems with the company's own A380 superjumbo -- which suffered from cracks in brackets inside the wings -- had proven instructive. "We drew all the possible lessons from the A380," he said. "Sometimes we went too far on outsourcing work. We need to make sure we control the architecture of the aircraft so as to have the safest and best aircraft." Successful development of new aircraft required "full transparency from our team," he said. "We also need to control some functions." Airbus' A380 headaches have been overshadowed in recent times by main rival Boeing's troubled launch of its 787 Dreamliner. All 50 Dreamliners in service around the world were grounded earlier this month after advanced lithium ion batteries on two planes ignited, prompting a Federal Aviation Administration investigation. Read more: How Boeing can bounce back from Dreamliner problems . Like the Dreamliner, the A350 will be Airbus's first model to have its fuselage and wings primarily made of lightweight composite materials, and will also use lithium ion batteries, although from a different supplier. Bregier said the A350's design would be "a very robust one," which would take into account any potential lessons to be learned from the Dreamliner's problems. "If by chance there is a decision regarding the 787 which would impact us, we would of course embark on that. And we have plenty of time," he said. The A350 is scheduled to make its first flight in mid- 2013, with deliveries due to customers the following year.

(CNN) -- A new smartphone operating system is joining the fray. Mozilla released a phone running its new Firefox OS in Spain on Monday, joining leading mobile operating systems Android and iOS, as well as smaller players Windows Phone and Blackberry. The ZTE Open and Alcatel OneTouch Fire are very basic phones with 3.5-inch screens, entry-level specs and appealingly low price tags. Telefonica will sell the ZTE Open in Spain starting July 2 for 69 euros, or about $90. Nonprofit company Mozilla is trying to shake up the typical closed app ecosystems with the Firefox OS. Built using open Web standards, it will appeal to the estimated 8 million Web developers who can jump right in and start creating HTML 5 apps for the phones. There is no timeline for when the phone will come to the United States. For now, Mozilla is focusing on emerging markets such as Spain, Poland, Colombia, Venezuela and eventually Brazil, where an iPhone is prohibitively expensive for most people. "For many of the users, this will be the first smartphone they would purchase," said Chris Lee, who heads the product team for Firefox OS. Firefox OS is rolling out in locations where significant portions of the population are still using feature phones. Multiyear service contracts that can cut the cost of a smartphone aren't as common, and expensive high-end handsets such as the iPhone or Galaxy S-series are out of reach. Cheap Android devices are available, but at an event in San Francisco announcing the release, Mozilla CTO Brendan Eich pointed out that most of those are running Gingerbread, an old version of the Android OS. Eich also said the company was realistic about its goals. "We are not aiming high and crashing into fortress Apple and fortress Google," said Eich. Design-wise, the Firefox OS keeps it incredibly simple and intuitive to appeal to new smartphone users. The current home screen is most similar to the iPhone, with a four-by-four grid of icons and a dock for the most-used apps along the bottom of the screen. Lee says this version is just a starting point. The company hopes developers will create custom interfaces for the devices that mimic what people love about Android or Windows Phone or even entirely new takes on the usual smartphone screens. Firefox OS already has a few of the most popular apps, including Twitter and Facebook, as well as a maps app powered by Nokia Here. The usual built-in phone features are included for making phone calls, texting and browsing the Web. New HTML 5 apps will be available in the Mozilla Marketplace after they're screened for security, though Mozilla won't be kicking apps out for content. The first Firefox OS phones are practical, not flashy, but the company hopes the combination of low price and open ecosystem will make it a moderate hit. "Consumers don't really know or care too much about what's under the hood," said Eich. "They want something that has a brand they trust ... a good price and something that satisfies them about the apps. That's a pretty short checklist."

(CNN) -- The world produces enough food to meet the needs of its population, yet nearly one in six people suffers from chronic hunger according to the United Nations' Committee on World Food Security.

The Empty Bowls Project, the brainchild of artists John Hartom and Lisa Blackburn, uses ceramic arts to fight hunger. At each event potters and other artisans donate handcrafted bowls. Guests select one of the bowls and are served a meal of soup and bread. They take home their bowl as a reminder of how many go empty around the world. Money raised is donated to organizations fighting hunger locally, like soup kitchens and food banks, or globally, like Oxfam and Feed the Children. Empty Bowls started as a classroom project, but the movement has spread across the United States and to at least 14 other countries. Events vary between locations because they are independently organized, but all share the Empty Bowls name and mission.

That's the goal of the One World Everybody Eats Foundation (OWEE). The foundation began with a single cafe in Salt Lake City where the menu has no prices. Customers who can afford it are asked to pay a little extra for their meals to help those who can't. Those in need can volunteer and earn a meal or enjoy the "community dish" free of charge. Dishes are prepared fresh daily and use many local, organic ingredients. "I think we have to rethink how we feed people in their time of need," says OWEE founder Denise Cerreta. "What sets this apart from other restaurants is that truly anyone can walk through the door and afford to eat here, and it's good, organic, wholesome food." Through the foundation, Cerreta now mentors a network of these cafes around the country. For more information about the foundation and a list of current locations visit the website. Tweet .

(CNN) -- Hurricane Norbert lashed Mexico's west coast Saturday with strong winds and drenching rains, the latter of which triggered mudslides that cut off some communities. As of 5 p.m. (8 p.m. ET), the storm had 100 mph sustained winds as it moved northwest at an 8 mph clip. The worst of it was not rolling over land -- centered, as it was, 180 miles west-northwest of Cabo San Lazaro -- meaning its winds haven't been as devastating as might have otherwise been the case. The U.S. National Hurricane Center predicted that 3 to 6 inches will likely fall in the central and northern Baja California peninsula, with 10 inches possible in some spots. All that water has already caused dangerous mudslides and damage. "There are no terrestrial communications" in two communities in the Loreto municipality after landslides, said Baja California official Jose Luis Perpuly Drew, according to the Notimex state news agency. Local authorities working with army, navy and civil protection forces are moving to bring food and medical supplies to Ague Verde and San Cosme, said Drew. There are also efforts underway to rebuild a wall that serves as a key buffer in Comondu, Notimex reported. The storm also prompted the evacuation of more than 450 people from two hostels in Puerto San Carlos, according to the news agency. Hurricane Norbert is expected to cause large swells, dangerous surf and rip currents along Mexico's west coast through the Gulf of California, the National Hurricane Center said. There is some good news in all this, though: Norbert got weaker as Saturday wore along and that trend should continue, with the Miami-based hurricane center predicting it will become a tropical storm on Sunday.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.(CNN) -- Hurricane Norbert lashed Mexico's west coast Saturday with strong winds and drenching rains, the latter of which triggered mudslides that cut off some communities. As of 5 p.m. (8 p.m. ET), the storm had 100 mph sustained winds as it moved northwest at an 8 mph clip. The worst of it was not rolling over land -- centered, as it was, 180 miles west-northwest of Cabo San Lazaro -- meaning its winds haven't been as devastating as might have otherwise been the case. The U.S. National Hurricane Center predicted that 3 to 6 inches will likely fall in the central and northern Baja California peninsula, with 10 inches possible in some spots. All that water has already caused dangerous mudslides and damage. "There are no terrestrial communications" in two communities in the Loreto municipality after landslides, said Baja California official Jose Luis Perpuly Drew, according to the Notimex state news agency. Local authorities working with army, navy and civil protection forces are moving to bring food and medical supplies to Ague Verde and San Cosme, said Drew.

(CNN) -- Luis Suarez appealed to the Court of Arbitration (CAS) Friday against his four-month ban imposed by FIFA for biting during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Suarez and his legal team spent five hours before a three-man CAS appeal panel in Lausanne in an attempt to reduce the suspension, which covers all football activity. The Uruguay striker bit Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini on the shoulder during a World Cup group game in Natal last month. It was the third time he had committed a similar offense and it drew an immediate response from football's world governing body. With Suarez banned, Uruguay lost its last 16 match to Colombia and was knocked out of the World Cup. Despite the punishment, it did not stop Spanish giants Barcelona from signing Suarez from English Premier League Liverpool in a $127 million deal last month. Ushered away . Suarez did not comment to reporters either before or after the proceedings Friday in the Swiss city, but did take time to sign autographs for waiting children before being ushered away. His connections are hopeful of cutting his ban by two months, meaning he would be available to make his Barcelona debut by the end of the month. The CAS said it would issue its decision "as soon as possible, probably before the end of next week." Suarez, 27, was top scorer in the EPL last season, winning the two major player of the year awards for his outstanding performances in helping Liverpool to runner-up spot in the standings. He suffered a knee injury at the end of the season which threatened his participation in the World Cup, but he recovered to score two goals in a decisive 2-1 victory over England. But in the final group game, his bite on Chiellini, captured by television cameras, provided the most notorious moment of the World Cup. UEFA adopts spray . One of the biggest successes of Brazil 2014 was the use of a "magic spray" which was used by referees to mark the spot from which a free kick was taken and to make sure the defensive wall retreated the requisite distance. UEFA said Friday that it would be used in all its competitions, including the Champions League, following successful trials in its recent under-17 championship in Malta. "As we all saw at the World Cup, this spray was very useful in helping the referee in free-kick situations, and I am sure we will see similar results in our matches this season," said UEFA president Michel Platini. The spray will be used for the first time in the UEFA Super Cup game between Real Madrid and Sevilla in Cardiff on August 12. Celtic lifeline . In other football news Friday, Scottish champion Celtic has been handed a Champions League lifeline after UEFA punished Legia Warsaw for fielding an ineligible player. Legia won the third qualifying round tie 6-1 on aggregate, but brought on Bartosz Bereszynski for the last four minutes of its 2-0 second-leg victory at Murrayfield Wednesday. Bereszynski was supposed to be serving a three-game ban for violent conduct in last season's Europa League. UEFA awarded the second leg game 3-0 to Celtic, handing them victory on away goals. Legia, who say the problem arose because of the failure to fill in appropriate paperwork for Bereszynski, will appeal the decision.

U.S. President Barack Obama will call on Congress to expand protection of Alaska's Arctic refuge where oil and gas drilling is prohibited to 12 million acres (5 million hectares), an area that includes 1.4 million oil-rich acres along the coast. The proposal, unveiled by the Interior Department on Sunday, ran into instant criticism from Republicans and is likely to face an uphill battle in Congress, where Republicans now control both chambers. The wilderness designation, the highest level of federal protection under which oil and gas drilling is banned, would be extended to a total of 19.8 million acres (8 million hectares) under the proposal, the Interior Department said. Announcement: U.S. President Barack Obama will propose expanding the protected area of Alaska's Arctic refuge by 12.28 million acres, the Interior Department said . HabitatL The area in question, a 1.4 million-acre strip wedged between the peaks of the Brooks Range and the Arctic Ocean, is a vital site for polar bears and the migratory Porcupine caribou herd, which raises young there . The move was the latest salvo in the energy wars between Obama, a Democrat, and Republican lawmakers. Republicans kicked off the new Congress earlier this month with a bill to approve the Keystone XL pipeline to help move Canadian oil to refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Obama immediately said he would veto the measure. U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Republican chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, called the Obama administration's proposal a politically motivated attack on Alaska. On Friday, she had introduced a bill that would have permitted oil production in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. 'It's clear this administration does not care about us, and sees us as nothing but a territory. The promises made to us at statehood, and since then, mean absolutely nothing to them. I cannot understand why this administration is willing to negotiate with Iran, but not Alaska,' Murkowski said in a statement on Sunday. 'We will fight back with every resource at our disposal,' she said. The area in question, a 1.4 million-acre (566,000-hectare) strip wedged between the peaks of the Brooks Range and the Arctic Ocean, is a vital site for polar bears and the migratory Porcupine caribou herd, which raises young there. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's coastal plain, holds 10.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil . President Obama's announcement is one of a series that the Interior Department will make this week that will affect Alaska's oil and gas production, according to The Washington Post . 'Other oilfields are available. The Arctic Refuge is too special a place to drill,' said David Hayes, senior fellow at the liberal Center for American Progress. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates the coastal plain holds 10.3 billion barrels of recoverable oil. Alaska Governor Bill Walker said on Sunday he would consider 'accelerating the options available' to increase oil exploration and production on state-owned lands in response to the move by the administration. The Washington Post, which first reported the story, said the Interior Department would also place part of the Arctic Ocean off limits to drilling and is considering additional limits on oil and gas production in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. The announcement is one of a series that the Interior Department will make this week that will affect Alaska's oil and gas production, the Post said.

By . Steve Robson . PUBLISHED: . 05:58 EST, 23 April 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 08:07 EST, 23 April 2013 . Frustrated: Ambulance technician Victor Brushette, 59, has been unable to claim compensation after being hit by an illegal quad bike rider . An ambulance worker has been told he cannot get compensation because when he was knocked down by a quad biker it was not intentional. Victor Brushette, 59, was left in a coma for a week when he was hit by the farm vehicle being driven by James Lewis, 28. At the time of the collision Mr Burshette was diverting traffic around an earlier accident. Lewis, who has 20 previous convictions, knocked him down causing him to suffer a punctured lung, eight fractured ribs, and a broken shoulder. He also suffered such bad leg injuries that he faced the prospect of having one amputated. The collision happened in Southend, Essex, in May 2010 and Lewis was driving at up to 60mph. He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, driving while disqualified and causing grievous bodily harm. Lewis was jailed for two years and banned from driving for four years. Mr Brushette tried to claim compensation for the horrific injuries he suffered, but has been told that there is a loophole that says he is not entitled to a payout because the incident was not intentional. He first went to government agency the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority, which deals with claims by victims of violent crime, but was then directed to the Motor Insurers' Bureau, which is funded by the motor industry. Three years on and he has finally been told he is unlikely to ever receive a payout. Mr Brushette said: 'The guy who did . this to me was sentenced to two years imprisonment but he is out now and . back with his family. 'I feel like the one who's been given the life sentence. How is that justice? 'It's . been three years now and I haven't seen a penny of compensation.

'I pulled over that day to help people out as that was my job but it ruined my life.' Nearly fatal: The crash left Mr Brushette with such serious leg injuries that doctors initially feared they would have to amputate both his legs . The ambulance service has been unable to claim any compensation for Mr Brushette because he was not attending a call out at the time. James Lewis, 28, was jailed for two years and banned from the road for four years after smashing into ambulance worker Victor Brushette in 2010 . He is entitled to carry out a . civil action against Lewis but he is reluctant to take this course because it could . end up costing him more than £25,000 in legal fees and there is no guarantee that he . would be successful. Mr Brushette says the loophole has cost him nearly £15,000 in lost earnings, travel and medical expenses. He . added: 'It's just so frustrating. I had the best job in the world as I . got to help people on a daily basis but now I'm stuck at home unable to . work. 'I'm in constant pain and I can't even do the things I used to enjoy like go fishing because of my injuries. My wife has been amazing throughout but she is working every hour that God sends to keep us afloat. 'We're struggling week to week and now I've been told it's unlikely I'll ever get any compensation - it's heart-breaking. I don't know why I am being punished when I am the victim.'

New Delhi (CNN) -- In New Delhi's upscale diplomatic district, Ram Dhan lives in a parallel world. For years, his home has been a rickety shanty that he shares with his ailing wife, a young son, a daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. Now 62, Dhan has lived through India's journey as an independent nation. He finds little reason to rejoice as the country celebrates Monday, the 64th anniversary of freedom from British rule. "The poor have hardly benefited," he says. Sitting on a cot in his shack huddled in a squalid slum in one of the richest neighborhoods of the Indian capital, he bitterly recalls how flooding in his native village ravaged his ancestral land way back in 1978 and forced him to move to the city in search of work. But today, Dhan says, the family of six can barely manage $130 a month. "This is no development ... or growth. I think we have moved backwards," he says. Dhan typifies the hand-to-mouth existence millions of Indians still live despite the nation's rise as Asia's third-largest economy. In a speech on the eve of his country's independence in 1947, India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, made an impassioned call to fight and end "poverty and ignorance and disease." Sixty-four years later, his successors accept that that fight is far from over. "We have to banish poverty and illiteracy from our country. We have to provide the common man with access to improved health services," Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said in his annual Independence Day address Monday. According to the World Bank, India is home to one-third of the world's poor. Corruption, policymakers have agreed over the years, is a major culprit. "Corruption manifests itself in many forms," Singh said in what has been a refrain by Indian planners on the chronic scourge. "In some instances, funds meant for schemes for the welfare of the common man end up in the pocket of government officials. In some other instances, government discretion is used to favor a select few. There are also cases where government contracts are wrongfully awarded to the wrong people. We cannot let such activities continue unchecked." Singh's remarks came ahead of a hunger strike anti-corruption activists have planned to press for an anti-graft law stronger than the legislation introduced in Parliament this month to create a citizen ombudsman. Indian leaders concede no single measure will work to combat corruption, which is believed to be deeply entrenched in the system. "I believe that there is no single big step which we can take to eradicate corruption. In fact, we will have to act simultaneously on many fronts," Singh said. He disapproved of hunger strikes as a means to push demands. As India's finance minister, Singh unleashed economic reforms in the 1990s that dismantled stiffening regulations and opened the nation to foreign capital. This year, India also marked another milestone event: the 20th anniversary of liberalization. But the occasion has been clouded by massive corruption scandals in Singh's administration and a rigid inflation crushing impoverished groups and the country's growing middle-class alike. Criticism is mounting against the nation's political establishment. "The twin monsters India faces today are inflation and corruption, both of which could derail the India growth story. To keep that story going, today's dysfunctional political class will need to radically re-invent itself," wrote the Times of India in an editorial headlined "Batting at 64." India's marginalized communities often feel forced to compromise skills that are key to eliminating poverty. Fears haunt Dhan that his grandchildren, like his son, also might not be able to achieve higher education if economic conditions at home do not improve. And Dhan's cab-driver son, Ashok Kumar, leaves it to luck. "I am trying my best to see that my children don't face the same circumstances that I went through. I am putting my best efforts. The rest is their luck," Kumar said.

Singh's remarks came ahead of a hunger strike anti-corruption activists have planned to press for an anti-graft law stronger than the legislation introduced in Parliament this month to create a citizen ombudsman. Indian leaders concede no single measure will work to combat corruption, which is believed to be deeply entrenched in the system. "I believe that there is no single big step which we can take to eradicate corruption. In fact, we will have to act simultaneously on many fronts," Singh said. He disapproved of hunger strikes as a means to push demands. As India's finance minister, Singh unleashed economic reforms in the 1990s that dismantled stiffening regulations and opened the nation to foreign capital. This year, India also marked another milestone event: the 20th anniversary of liberalization. But the occasion has been clouded by massive corruption scandals in Singh's administration and a rigid inflation crushing impoverished groups and the country's growing middle-class alike. Criticism is mounting against the nation's political establishment. "The twin monsters India faces today are inflation and corruption, both of which could derail the India growth story. To keep that story going, today's dysfunctional political class will need to radically re-invent itself," wrote the Times of India in an editorial headlined "Batting at 64." India's marginalized communities often feel forced to compromise skills that are key to eliminating poverty. Fears haunt Dhan that his grandchildren, like his son, also might not be able to achieve higher education if economic conditions at home do not improve. And Dhan's cab-driver son, Ashok Kumar, leaves it to luck. "I am trying my best to see that my children don't face the same circumstances that I went through. I am putting my best efforts. The rest is their luck," Kumar said.

A husband and father of three officially has the World's Widest Tongue, according to Guinness World Records. Byron Schlenker, 46, told Syracuse.com his daughter examined the width of his tongue, after she saw the previous record listed in a copy of the Guinness Book of World Records from 2012. Schlenker's tongue is 8.3cm wide - beating the record of 7.9cm, the website reported. Amazing! Byron Schlenker broke the Guinness World Record for the world's widest tongue . It's official! Schlenker and his tongue are seen inside the new edition of the Guinness Book of World Records . Schlenker told Syracuse.com he contacted Guinness, which said he was able give money for a company employee to examine his tongue in-person - but 'just let it go and forgot about the whole thing' after discovering he was able to submit pictures himself. Guinness later reached out to Schlenker and used 'a doctor and two notaries to measure his tongue using a hard, metal ruler,' according to the website. 'I would have never done it if they hadn't contacted me back,' Schlenker told Syracuse.com. 'It wasn't something I'm striving for. I don't mind if someone beats my record or not.' Speaking of his photo shoot, Schlenker told the website 'They had me licking ice cream cones and they lined up Tic Tacs across my tongue. Strange encounters: Schlenker says people who know of his tongue have asked them to lick their books . 'I had to stick out my tongue for three hours. It's a muscle like anything else, and can get bigger. If I measure, my tongue now, it's about 8.6 cm.' He told KEYE, saying 'People get excited and sometimes it catches you off guard. They're like, "Can you lick my book?" I'm like, "I'm not licking anything." But it's just fun.' Schlenker told MailOnline he saw his picture inside the book for the first time during a recent shopping trip to Target with his daughter. Schlenker told MailOnline he did not spread the news he broke the Guinness World Record until the book was published, because the company told him people would likely come forward and try to one-up him. He also said he didn't initially believe Guinness when he was told the media would eventually reach out and be interested in his story. 'I said, "I hadn't seen anybody do anything with their tongues besides Miley Cyrus and Gene Simmons,"' Schlenker said. Schlenker said he agreed with commenters on the Syracuse.com story, who have been alternately grossed out and shocked by his tongue. 'I have to agree with them; it is gross,' he told MailOnline. 'But it is funny at the same time.' Schlenker said his wife 'wasn't on board 'til Guinness [offered] to fly me to Rome for a TV special.' 'Other than that, [she thinks] this is kind of weird,' he told MailOnline. His daughters, however, think it is 'hysterical.'

As William, Kate, and George land in Sydney today, they will arrive to a country ready to open them with open arms. Support for a republic in Australia has dropped to its lowest level in three decades, with more than half of Australians in favour of keeping the royal family as heads of state. According to a Fairfax-Nielsen poll, 51 percent of Australians believed the switch to a republic was unnecessary and only 42 percent were in favour of a republic. Scroll down for video . The Republican Slayer: Prince George and his famous parents are responsible for the upswing in support among Australians for the monarchy . This is down from 58 percent in favour of a republic in 1999, when a referendum on the issue was held, and represents the lowest ebb in pro-republican sentiment in the country in 35 years. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and their son Prince George, are thought to be responsible for the resurgence of support for the monarchy. Prince George was dubbed 'Prince George the Republican Slayer' on Australian breakfast television on Wednesday. The survey found support for the royals was at its highest among Australians aged 18-24, 60 percent of whom thought Australia should keep its royal head of state, and only 28 percent supporting a transition to a republican system of government. However, a majority of Australian voters support Australia becoming a monarchy eventually. According to the poll, only 35 percent believed Australia should 'never' become a republic. Most Australians believe the nation should become a republic either 'as soon as possible'(28 percent) or 'after Queen Elizabeth's reign ends' (31 percent). A new poll shows that support among Australians for a republic is at its lowest level in 35 years . The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, pictured here arriving in Wellington, will arrive in Sydney on Wednesday afternoon for a ten-day tour of the country . However David Morris, national director of the Australian Republican Movement, remains hopeful that one day the Australian head of state will be an Australian. 'We shouldn’t jump to conclusions based on one poll that’s held in the middle of a media frenzy about a huge celebrity royal visit,' he said. 'The British royals will always be welcome in Australia… We look forward to when an Australian head of state visits Britain and receives the same welcome that the British royal family always receives; when an Australian head of state is received as an equal and not as a colonial subject.' He added that support for the monarchy was due to the celebrity status of Will and Kate, as well as the fact there has been no broad political debate on the issue in over a decade. He also blamed the current spike in pro-royal sentiment on having a prime minister who ‘is trying to take us back to the colonial era.' Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who was an ardent defender of the monarchy in the lead up to the 1999 referendum, announced last month that he would be reinstating the titles of knights and dames for 'pre-eminent Australians'. However, only 35 percent of Australians are in favour of bringing back the titles, according to another Fairfax Media poll. Prince George, who will one day be New Zealand's head of state, participated in a playgroup with some of his future subjects in Wellington on March 9 .

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Thousands of people have converged in the center of London for the first major protest ahead of next week's G-20 summit. Up to 20,000 people are expected to join Saturday's protests in London. Despite fears of violence in coming days that have prompted a major security operation in the British capital, Saturday's demonstration has so far been peaceful. As many as 20,000 people were expected at the Put People First march, organized by trade unions but backed by some 120 other groups including environmentalists, church groups, and political campaigners. Authorities are bracing for possible violence as anti-capitalist and environmental protesters to converge on the Bank of England next Wednesday -- April 1 -- for a "mass street party" dubbed "Financial Fools Day." Protesters gathering on Saturday were calling for jobs, fair distribution of wealth, and a low-carbon future. They carried banners and posters reading "Climate Emergency," "Gaza: End the Blockade," "Planet Before Profit," "We Won't Pay for Their Crisis," and "Jobs not Bombs." Some groups turned out to march in bright-colored rain ponchos or hard hats. The day began with a church service in central London. The Salvation Army, which helped organize the service, said it was a "perfect opportunity to ask the G-20 to consider the world's most vulnerable people." Those at the service sang "We are blessed to bless a world in pieces." They asked for freedom from debt and justice to profit, the Salvation Army said. After gathering along the Thames River and marching along its banks, marchers moved past Trafalgar Square to Hyde Park for a mass rally in the afternoon. Speakers at the rally include trade union bosses, environmentalists, and global justice campaigners, along with musicians and a comedian, according to march organizers. Jake Corn, from Cambridge, told the UK's Press Association he was taking part to show support for a more sustainable future. "We feel this is an important moment with the G-20 coming here," Corn said. "We want to get our message across to as many people as possible." Watch scenes from march, interviews with protesters » . Italian trade unionist Nicoli Nicolosi told PA he had travelled from Rome to take part. He said: "We are here to try and make a better world and protest against the G-20." The G-20 summit next Thursday brings together leaders and financial chiefs from the top 20 industrialized and emerging economies, along with leaders from non-G-20 nations. Hundreds of other officials will also be there, including the heads of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

By . Travelmail Reporter . A football-mad boyfriend cut short a romantic holiday in Mexico with his girlfriend - to fly back home to play for his village pub team. Chris Jones, 26, from Cardiff, borrowed £1,100 from his mum to get on a plane to make the 5,000-mile trip home halfway through the dream trip. The delivery driver was on a two-week holiday to Cancun with girlfriend Sarah Walker when he discovered his team had been picked to play at a Premier League stadium. Dream holiday: Chris Jones, who plays for Max United, cut his Mexico trip short to play for his team . Stunning location: The trip to Playa del Carmen was the couple's first holiday for six years . And Chris had to tell Sarah, 25, he was blowing the whistle on their first holiday for six years. Chris said: ‘Luckily for me Sarah knows I am obsessed with footie - she was fairly understanding. ‘But it was a bit tough telling her I wanted to leave the sun-kissed beaches of Mexico to fly home to Cardiff for a match.’ The pair had saved up for the romantic all-inclusive holiday in Playa Del Carmen. They spent the first week sunbathing, jet skiing, strolling along the palm fringed beaches and eating in top restaurants. Big match: Football-obsessed Chris said he wouldn't miss the chance to play for his team at Cardiff City Stadium . Long way home: Chris had to ask his mum for the £1,100 to pay for the flights back to the UK . But Chris checked his Facebook page and discovered his team Max Utd had been picked to play at the Cardiff City stadium. Chris is the club's top scorer with 23 goals this season so he knew he had to be there. He said: ‘I would describe myself as obsessed with football - I play every Saturday and Sunday and then five-a-side twice a week. ‘If I had missed this I would have been gutted - of all the players in the club it probably means more to me than anybody. ‘To play in a premiership standard stadium is a dream come true.’ Chris couldn't afford the air fare home but his mum Lesley Jones, 47, offered to pay - forking out for a return trip because it was impossible to buy a single. The couple took a nine-hour flight back to Gatwick Airport and were back in Cardiff ready for the kick off against pub side. Dream destination: The couple had booked a two-week trip to Cancun, which was cut short . Chris, of Tonypandy, near Cardiff, said: ‘Sarah was a bit upset but she is alright about it now. ‘But she warned me she'll be bringing it up again in future, she got a lot of credit.’ Sarah said: ‘We were having a great time in Mexico but I know how much football means to him. ‘The weather we had was really good but it was changing when we left and looked like rain, so it worked out well.’ Amateur clubs in South Wales were asked why their team deserved the unique opportunity to play at the 27,000-seater Cardiff City Stadium Max United and pub team the Maltsters Arms won the chance to play each other. Chris's mum Lesley Jones, 47, said: ‘I knew he would want to come back and play but he's always been football mad.’
Chris Jones left Mexico after a just a week with his girlfriend . The top scorer borrowed £1,100 from his mum to make the return journey . Said he wouldn't have missed Max Utd playing the Cardiff City stadium .

(CNN)Darfur has a long, dark history filled with horrors. But these nightmares aren't all in the far past, according to Human Rights Watch. Citing 130 interviews with locals, the advocacy group said this week that in October, Sudanese soldiers raped more than 200 women and girls over a 36-hour period in the north Darfur town of Tabit. "Witnesses told Human Rights Watch that during (the) attacks, government soldiers went house-to-house in Tabit, searching houses, looting property, severely beating residents, and raping women and girls," the report stated. "On the two nights, soldiers forced many of the men to outdoor locations on the outskirts of the town, leaving the women and children especially vulnerable." The advocacy group said that civilians were the only ones affected and that it had "no evidence of any rebel force in the town immediately prior to or during the attacks." The United Nations and African Union have a force in Darfur, but according to Human Rights Watch, the Sudanese government has "prevented (them) from carrying out a credible investigation." "Immediately after they entered the room they said: 'You killed our man. We are going to show you true hell,' " a woman in her 40s recalled of an attack on her and her three daughters, two of whom were less than 11 years old, Human Rights Watch reported. "Then they started beating us. They raped my three daughters and me. Some of them were holding the girl down while another one was raping her. They did it one by one." Yusuf Kurdufani, a Sudanese Foreign Ministry spokesman, dismissed the report as "an attempt to reproduce an issue long closed after the world was convinced about the incredibility and illogicality of the claims of mass rape." According to the official Sudanese News Agency, Kurdufani said mass rapes "go contrary to the logic of things and also contradict ... the customs and traditions of the local population." "He argued that by making such allegations, the rebel movements wanted to create an impression that the situation was still unstable in the region," the SUNA report added. "The spokesman reaffirmed that the allegations of mass rape in Tabit is a file that has been closed." Yet not everyone in the international community buys Sudan's story, at least without a credible outside investigation. "To this day, the government of Sudan has shamefully denied the UN the ability to properly investigate this incident, despite this (U.N. Security) Council's mandate to do precisely that," said Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. The United Nations itself said two months ago that its team had found no evidence supporting the claims, though the ultimate findings are "inconclusive and require further investigation." Violence in Darfur -- an arid region in western Sudan -- began raging in the early 2000s, with then-U.N. envoy Tom Eric Vraalsen at one point calling the humanitarian crisis there "one of the worst in the world." The United Nations has estimated about 300,000 people have been killed and another 2.7 million wounded in the unrest. Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir is charged by the International Criminal Court with multiple counts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. But al-Bashir hasn't agreed to stand trial, with his information minister at one point dismissing the ICC as a "white man's tribunal." There have been seemingly positive developments in the region in recent years, like South Sudan declaring independence after a peace agreement and subsequent referendum. In Darfur in 2013, a splinter group from the Justice and Equality Movement -- the largest Darfurian rebel group -- signed a peace deal with the Sudanese government, and countries pledged $3.7 billion to reconstruct and develop the war-torn area. Yet the violence never really went away. In December, Under-Secretary-General for U.N. Peacekeeping Operations Herve Ladsous briefed the Security Council about increased fighting, "deadly" internal conflicts and an alarming rise of crime in Darfur. "This insecurity as well as the persistent restrictions imposed by government forces, armed movements and militia groups continued to challenge the ability of the (UN/AU) mission to implement its mandate, particularly as regards the protection of civilians," Ladsous said.

If you thought the recent bad weather was just a storm in a teacup, think again - it could dump some nasty news on your plate, too. The cost of a fish supper could jump by as much as 10 per cent after trawlers were unable to go out to sea in the storms, a report has claimed. The shortage has pushed up wholesale prices of popular white fish such as haddock, plaice and whiting to one and a half times what they were this time last year. Any bites? A fisherman braves storms in Cleveleys, Lancashire, earlier this month. A report by trade magazine The Grocer has said prices of popular white fish are up by more than 50 per cent on this time last year . Research by trade magazine The Grocer showed haddock has leaped in price to £1,474 a tonne (up 54 per cent), plaice has risen to £1,246 (51 per cent) and whiting is now £1,675 (44 per cent). The cost of whiting has risen 37 per cent over the last month alone, according to the report, with plaice up 11 per cent. The government body Seafish, set up to ensure quality of the fish that ends up on our plates, said most of the rise will be absorbed by business owners until the price drops back to normal levels. But the National Federation of Fishmongers told the Mirror customers could expect to see a rise of about 10 per cent. The federation's president Jonathan Adams told the newspaper: 'The price of fish is always affected by the weather, but when it goes up, consumers must expect to pay as much as 10 per cent more.'

By . Daily Mail Reporter . A brand new £440,000 ($800,000) Lamborghini unexpectedly went up in flames while the luxury Italian company was exhibiting its supercar at a media demonstration in Australia. Witnesses reported that the light blue V12-powered Aventador LP700-4 Roadster had completed dozens of laps around Phillip Island race track in Victoria when heavy smoke along with fire emerged from behind the cabin. Driving the sports car was Top Gear Australia editor Tim Keen who was quickly instructed to stop on the track and leave the vehicle, while a driving instructor was heard desperately yelling for people to grab fire extinguishers off the walls of the pit bays nearby. Inferno: This Lamborghini Aventador caught on fire during a media demonstration drive day at Phillip Island in Victoria, Australia . Embarrassing: The fire was caused by oil from the brake lines leaking onto the exhaust . Sources told Fairfax Media that 'a number' of fire extinguishers were needed to put out the fire, which is believed to have started due to an oil leak in the exhaust and spread to the rear taillight. It is understood oil from one of the brake lines leaked on the exhaust system and caught fire. A statement released by Lamborghini explained that the blaze was caused by the vehicle's 'extended track use in a high-temperature environment' and they consequently have no plans to modify the car. 'The investigation has also confirmed that the issue was not due to any fault in the design or construction of the vehicle,' the statement read. The Italian car-maker was further embarrassed when Lamborghini's head of south-east Asia and the Pacific, Sebastien Henry, asked media attending not to write about the incident or report about it on social media. Drive day: Media were invited to drive the cars and test them out, but the afternoon was cut short when the back of the car started burning . At least one media outlet was allegedly asked to delete video footage and images of the 515kW Aventador burning. But Mr Henry denied the company forced anyone to wipe the footage. 'We certainly did not force any of our guests to delete imagery obtained on the day,' he said in a statement. 'We did, however, kindly request that our guests refrain from making any assumptions through the media – particularly when, at the time, the cause of the incident had not been adequately investigated.' The car had been shipped exclusively from Italy to Australia for a number of demonstration and drive days. It's believed it was to be flown to the Beijing motor show after a stint down under but it has instead been sent to the repair shop. High-performance machine: The new Lamborghini Aventador is powered by a 515kW 6.5-litre V12 engine . Precious cargo: The Aventador that caught fire was flown to Australia direct from Italy and was due to be sent to the Beijing motor show, but has now been sent to the repair shop . The fire in Australia today prompted the exclusive Italian brand to instruct attendees not to report the embarrassing and expensive failure .

AC Milan have accused Juventus of doctoring television graphics to convince viewers that Carlos Tevez was onside for his controversial goal on Saturday night. League leaders Juventus beat rivals AC Milan 3-1 in Turin, but there was considerable angst among Milan fans, who believed that Tevez was offside for the opening goal of the game. Milan tweeted a photograph, supposedly taken from Juventus TV's analysis of the incident. The picture appears to show a clearly manipulated line, to prove that Tevez was onside when he was, in fact, not. Carlos Tevez, wrongly or rightly, shoots to put Juventus 1-0 up against AC Milan in Turin on Saturday . In a statement to Corriere della Serra, Milan's general manager Adriano Galliani took things a step further by saying: . 'The production of the television images for Juve home games is controlled by the club itself. They purposely don’t show the replay of the opening goal. 'I’m going to kick up a storm at the next Lega [Serie A] assembly to ensure the Lega can produce all of the games without conceding the option to just one club to control their own images. Tevez (left) celebrates alongside team-mate Paul Pogba as Juventus get off to an excellent start against Milan . Tevez (left) watches on as his ball crosses the line; his goal stood, but some claimed it shouldn't have . 'I am against the fact that they just end up showing what they want.' Backing up their general manager's claims, the official AC Milan website also posted a short statement, which read: . 'Arrogance is a Juventus trait and something they cannot escape from. 'It would be superfluous to respond to anyone like this.

Heres the context you need to read and summary.AC Milan have accused Juventus of doctoring television graphics to convince viewers that Carlos Tevez was onside for his controversial goal on Saturday night. League leaders Juventus beat rivals AC Milan 3-1 in Turin, but there was considerable angst among Milan fans, who believed that Tevez was offside for the opening goal of the game. Milan tweeted a photograph, supposedly taken from Juventus TV's analysis of the incident. The picture appears to show a clearly manipulated line, to prove that Tevez was onside when he was, in fact, not. Carlos Tevez, wrongly or rightly, shoots to put Juventus 1-0 up against AC Milan in Turin on Saturday . In a statement to Corriere della Serra, Milan's general manager Adriano Galliani took things a step further by saying: . 'The production of the television images for Juve home games is controlled by the club itself. They purposely don’t show the replay of the opening goal. 'I’m going to kick up a storm at the next Lega [Serie A] assembly to ensure the Lega can produce all of the games without conceding the option to just one club to control their own images. Tevez (left) celebrates alongside team-mate Paul Pogba as Juventus get off to an excellent start against Milan . Tevez (left) watches on as his ball crosses the line; his goal stood, but some claimed it shouldn't have . 'I am against the fact that they just end up showing what they want.' Backing up their general manager's claims, the official AC Milan website also posted a short statement, which read: . 'Arrogance is a Juventus trait and something they cannot escape from. 'It would be superfluous to respond to anyone like this. It is a good thing, however, that even they agree to open up the discussion and debate over the production of TV graphics which emerged following the episode during Juventus-Milan last night.'

Modern lifestyles are often blamed for causing blocked arteries but our long-dead ancestors suffered from the same unhealthy symptoms, claim scientists. The remarkably preserved mummies from five ancient cultures – including Egyptians living 3,000 years ago – bear the unmistakeable hallmarks of heart disease. CT scans of hundreds of bodies found atherosclerosis, the narrowing of the arteries due to build-up of fatty deposits, which is the underlying disease process that causes heart attack and strokes. Modern lifestyles are often blamed for causing blocked arteries but our long-dead ancestors suffered from the same unhealthy symptoms, claim scientists. The remarkably preserved mummies from five ancient cultures - including Egyptians living 3,000 years ago - bear the unmistakeable hallmarks of heart disease (illustrated) Atherosclerosis is the primary cause of heart attacks and strokes caused by lack of blood to the brain. Until now it had been widely assumed that today's high rates of heart and artery disease were chiefly the result of unhealthy modern lifestyles. It is though that diets rich in saturated fat encourage the deposit of fatty layers on artery walls which harden over time. As a result blood vessels become narrower and the flow of blood is impeded. When insufficient blood reaches the heart muscle or brain it can trigger a heart attack or stroke. But the triggers must have been very different from those afflicting us in modern times, it is claimed. Instead of a high fat diet, cigarette smoking and obesity being to blame, it is more likely our forebears suffered repeated infections, parasites and the ill-effects of breathing in smoke from cooking fires. The researchers examined 76 Egyptians from 3,000 years ago, 51 Peruvians from 600 to 2,000 years ago, five Native Americans from 1,600 years ago, a small group of 500 year old Mongolians and five Aleutian Islanders from 150 years ago. Only the ancient Egyptians wealthy enough to undergo the 70-day mummification process might have enjoyed the fat-laden diet and sedentary lifestyle commonly associated with the disease. Yet atherosclerosis was discovered in common people from the other four cultures, whose bodies were left to dry out in extremely hot or fiercely cold climates after short, brutish lives as hunter gatherers or nomads. The findings suggest that genetically humans may be inherently susceptible to atherosclerosis. Dr Gregory Thomas, medical director at Long Beach Memorial in California, said its discovery among many ancient cultures means obesity, diet and smoking are not the only culprits. CT scans like the one pictured of hundreds of bodies found artherosclerosis, the narrowing of the arteries due to build-up of fatty deposits, which is the underlying disease process that causes heart attack and strokes . This is not the first time that scans of Ancient Egyptian mummies have revealed heart disease. It was revealed in April that scans of 4,000-year-old mummies showed evidence of hardening of the arteries. Earlier studied have revealed fatty arteries in a large number of Egyptian mummies, which experts put down to their luxurious, fatty diets. Atherosclerosis is supposed to be a disease of modern civilisation,’ Dr Adel Allam, a nuclear cardiologist at Cairo’s Al Azhar University told Alan Mozes of Health Day. He believes that heart disease risk is not just about poor diet and obesity, but that genetics may also come into play. Last year, CT scans of 137 mummies showed evidence of atherosclerosis, or hardened arteries, in one third of those examined - including those from ancient people believed to have healthy lifestyles. 'Heart disease has been stalking mankind for over 4,000 years all over the globe,' said Dr Randall Thompson, a cardiologist at Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City. 'I think it's fair to say people should feel less guilty about getting heart disease in modern times. We may have oversold the idea that a healthy lifestyle can completely eliminate your risk. Dr Thomas said ‘There is a surprising similarity in the amount and distribution of atherosclerotic calcifications, fatty deposits, between ancient Egyptians and current Americans of a similar age. ‘This is observed, even though many of what we believe to be major risk factors must be different between the two populations. ‘There was no tobacco in ancient Egypt. Ancient Egyptians must have been more active than current Americans, and some of the dietary issues that exist in the USA today did not exist in ancient Egypt.’ Instead researchers believe the disease could have been caused by chronic inflammation triggered by repeated infections due to poor hygiene, lack of sanitation and living in close proximity to animals. For example, the mummy ‘Nakht,’ a teenage boy who worked as a weaver circa 1,200 BC in Thebes was infected with four parasites including tapeworm and malaria, while others had TB. Dr Thomas said ‘These ancient people were unaware of the germs lurking in the unhygienic environments in which they lived, animals and people living side by side, inadequate sewage, contaminated water. ‘They did not know that the germs amongst which they lived caused infection after infection. ‘In . addition to frequent bacterial and viral infections, the ancients likely . suffered from lifelong parasitic infestations. Modern medicine, . knowledge and antibiotics had not yet arrived.’ The . inflammatory process, which cells use to fight infection, has been . proven to speed up the inflammation that happens when cholesterol gets . into the wall of the artery, which leads to further build-up of fatty . deposits. The disease was also more common in . women, who would have been repeatedly exposed to the smoke from cooking . fires, which the scientists believe had the same effect on the arteries . as smoke from cigarettes. Only the ancient Egyptians were wealthy enough to have enjoyed the fat-laden diet and sedentary lifestyle commonly associated with the disease. Yet atherosclerosis was discovered in common people from the other four cultures. A previous study shows a mummy from 200-900 AD of a Peruvian woman in her 40s, excavated from Lima, with calcifications in the arteries . Researchers behind a series of studies published in Global Heart, the journal of the World Heart Federation, call for a fresh look at risk factors not associated with rich living. Dr Thomas said ‘Each year we learn more and more about the impact of the human genome and molecules in our blood, and so to believe we have already uncovered all the causes, or risk factors, of atherosclerosis may be wishful thinking. ‘Using the past to predict the future, as these ancient people unexpectedly had atherosclerosis, we need to continue to search for other potential fundamental causes of atherosclerosis. ‘The discovery of new causes could dramatically reshape the frequency and impact of atherosclerosis today. ‘This should lead to re-evaluation of the root causes of atherosclerosis, and may lead to entirely new avenues of prevention and early treatment.’

Seoul (CNN) -- North Korea said it's ready to fight a war with the United States and South Korea, as the two allies kicked off their annual joint military drills Monday, according to state-run media. "Hundreds of thousands of troops are poised for a war carrying nuclear war equipment," North Korea's KCNA news agency reported, saying Pyongyang considers the drills to be practice for a preemptive strike on the North. The international community has been negotiating with North Korea over its nuclear program for years. The most recent talks between North Korea and the United States ended Friday with little visible progress. They were the first high-level talks since the death of North Korea's longtime leader, Kim Jong Il, in December and the subsequent transition of power to his youngest son, Kim Jong Un. Kim's death threw into flux U.S. plans for renewed diplomacy with North Korea, including formal talks on ending Pyongyang's nuclear program and possible resumption of U.S. food assistance. The North Korea government was expected to suspend its uranium enrichment in exchange for food assistance as part of a deal that was to be announced around the time of Kim's death. The annual Key Resolve military drills that began Monday involve 2,100 U.S. troops with their South Korean counterparts. Washington insists the exercises are defensive in nature and unrelated to any geopolitical events. The current military drills are scheduled through March 9, with a second set of overlapping exercises beginning March 1 and running through the end of April. South Korea and the United States regularly hold military drills, and just as often North Korea denounces them as a provocation. KCNA reported Saturday that Kim Jong Un, the new North Korean leader, visited military units in the southwest of the country, including one that fired upon a South Korean island in November 2010, killing two civilians and two marines. North Korea said its forces were responding to a South Korean military drill in the area. While visitng the troops, Kim Jong Un "ordered them to make a powerful retaliatory strike at the enemy, should the enemy intrude even 0.001 mm into the waters of the country where its sovereignty is exercised," KCNA reported.

(CNN) -- Facebook's user base is nearly as large as the U.S. population and, for the first time, the site has turned a profit. Facebook now has 300 million users -- almost as many as the population of the United States. That was the double-barreled announcement Tuesday from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who thanked the site's users for helping its online community cross the 300 million threshold. There are about 307 million people living in the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. "We're just getting started on our goal of connecting everyone," Zuckerberg wrote on the company's blog. "Because we want to make it as easy and fast as possible for the world to connect, one of the things we think a lot about is how to make Facebook perform even faster and more efficiently as we grow," he wrote. "We face a lot of fun and important challenges that require rethinking the current systems for enabling information flow across the Web." The social networking site, while popular with its exploding user base, has struggled to turn a profit. But Zuckerberg said the company became profitable last quarter, beating its goal of getting out of the red by the end of 2010. "This is important to us because it sets Facebook up to be a strong independent service for the long term," he wrote. In July, the California startup company announced it had hit the 250 million-user mark, which indicates it has grown by 50 million users in two months. That's more than 800,000 new users per day. About 70 percent of Facebook's users are outside the U.S., according to statistics posted by the company. The site started out as a portal for college students but has attracted the attention of baby boomers and older generations in recent years. Facebook says its fastest-growing demographic is people older than 35. Watch Randi Zuckerberg of Facebook's marketing team talk about the milestone » . Over the past year, the social network has seen a challenge from Twitter, the popular micro-blogging site. Many bloggers see recent updates to Facebook's interface as copied from Twitter's stripped-down design. As Facebook has grown, it also has drawn criticism from privacy groups like the American Civil Liberties Union, which says people on Facebook unwillingly give up personal information to advertisers and Facebook application developers. In a video interview with Fortune, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg said Facebook gives its users robust privacy controls. She also told Fortune that a new approach to online advertising has helped Facebook's revenue grow throughout the recession. "Our advertisements are very much part of the user experience," she said. "So the same way you can RSVP for an event on Facebook -- you know, a party your friend might throw -- you can RSVP for a movie premiere. And that's really a movie advertisement saying, 'Our movie is opening this weekend. Do you want to go?' " After Zuckerberg's blog post went up Tuesday, more than 500 Facebook users commented, largely cheering him on. "i [heart] facebook. mark, you are my hero!" one user wrote. "Today the Internet, tomorrow the world," said another. Technology blogs jumped on the news from Facebook, which was posted about 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday. MG Siegler at the blog TechCrunch wrote that it was inevitable that Facebook would pass the 300 million mark but that its finance news was more significant. New technologies probably are helping Facebook keep its computer server costs down, which is important because Facebook stores a lot of data, he wrote. The site is effectively the largest photo-sharing site online, he said. John Paczkowski, a writer for the Wall Street Journal's AllThingsD blog, said Facebook's financial announcement indicates the startup isn't thinking about selling out. "It would seem then that Facebook has no interest whatsoever in selling itself off to Google or anyone else," he wrote. "It would much rather go public."

Rome, Italy (CNN) -- Somewhere in the world, a child dies of hunger every five seconds -- even though the planet has more than enough food for all. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon laid out this sobering statistic as he kicked off a three-day summit on world food security Monday in Rome. "Today, more than 1 billion people are hungry," he told the assembled leaders. Six million children die of hunger every year -- 17,000 every day, he said. The summit opened with the leaders adopting a declaration to renew their commitment to eradicating hunger. They promised to do so by promoting investment, reversing the decline in funding for agriculture and tackling the effect of global warming on food security. Urgent action is critical, Ban said. In 2050, the world will need to feed 2 billion more mouths -- 9.1 billion in all. The steps Ban proposed included providing farmers with seeds and land and offering them access to better markets and fairer trade. "These small-holder farmers are the heart and soul of food security and poverty reduction," he said. "Our job is not just to feed the hungry but to empower the hungry to feed themselves." The summit came under criticism even before it began, with some aid groups skeptical that it would accomplish much. The United Nations hopes that donors will go beyond affirming their support to end hunger and fulfill a promise they made during a Group of Eight meeting in July to increase food aid significantly. Though more than 60 world leaders are at the summit, all but one of the G-8 leaders were absent. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Belusconi is hosting the gathering. The United States sent the head of the U.S. Agency for International Development, and Britain sent two ministers. During his speech, Ban also tied the global warming crisis to hunger eradication. The melting of Himalayan glaciers will affect the livelihood of 300 million people in China and up to 1 billion throughout Asia, he said. And African farmers might see harvests drop by 50 percent by 2020. The United Nations has scheduled a climate summit next month in Copenhagen, Denmark. "There can be no food security without climate security," Ban said. "They must produce results. "The world is impatient for us to make a difference. I, too, am impatient. And I am committed." The United Nations also seeks commitment from the public, making an online appeal for individual donations to fight hunger. The U.N. World Food Program's "Billion for a Billion" campaign aims to reach 1 billion individuals. "If a billion Internet users donate a dollar or a euro a week, we can literally transform the lives of a billion hungry people across the world," said Josette Sheeran, the World Food Program's executive director. Small donations can make a big difference, Sheeran said. "Year in, year out, governments have supported WFP in its mission to feed the world's hungriest people, but they cannot be expected to do it alone," Sheeran said. "It's time for members of the public to act."
