Doha, Qatar (CNN) -- Making sure another plane is never "lost" again is the immediate priority for the airline industry, according to Tony Tyler CEO of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The group has set up a taskforce comprised of airlines, pilots, flight safety organizations and flight tracking and navigation service providers to try and ensure a mystery like flight MH370 is not repeated. "We're going to be focusing on the tracking of aircraft and not streaming of data," said Tyler at the group's annual meeting, in Doha, Qatar, adding that it will deliver a report in September recommending what changes airlines should take, although they won't be mandatory. The streaming of data is not the focus, said Tyler, as tracking is "the most urgent first step and can be done relatively easily." "There are a lot more issues that come into play when it comes into the streaming of data. If you start having streaming from 100,000 flights a day, you're going to end up with masses of data and that may be manageable or may be not manageable." Currently a mix of radar, satellite and voice communications tracks aircraft. A one-size-fits-all tracking solution might not work, cautions Kevin Hiatt, senior vice president for Safety and Flight Operations for IATA. While the technology to track aircraft better is already available there is an equipment issue. "Not all aircraft are equipped the same, it's just like an automobile, there are different options you can fit in the aircraft, so we'll explore what options are currently onboard and see how it can be used to fill this gap. "Maybe some carriers already have what they need to start and there might be some that have absolutely nothing and have to start." Many airline CEOs have committed to improving tracking no matter the cost. "We're already doing quite a lot," said Willie Walsh, CEO of International Airlines Group. "We routinely send position messages with our ACARS messages and that's something we've done for many years an something we'll continue to do. We send ACARS messages every 30 minutes. "By this time next year (the airline industry) will have cracked this." ACARS is a data link for sending messages between planes and ground facilities that was developed in the 1970s. Just five years ago Air France suffered a tragedy when flight AF447 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. The accident brought to public attention that in some locations, such as over ocean areas, the precise location of an aircraft is not known all the time. "We don't totally track aircraft as there are areas of the world that don't have coverage that allow us to track them with what we would conventionally think of as a GPS or some type a ping that has a geographic location," said Hiatt. However, after the incident, the airline, independent of any industry-wide report, made changes to how its planes communicate their location and can be found in an emergency. One was improving the battery life of the black box recorder to three months, the second concerned the frequency with which the plane communicates with land. "Flight data is now sent from the plane every 10 minutes," said Alexandre de Juniac, CEO of Air France-KLM. If a plane deviates from its initial flight plan we send a message every minute to our dispatch office in Paris ... to say that something is wrong. So the tracking is much more accurate and we know minute by minute where the plane is. "We have the equipment on board; it's a decision plus some investment to increase the frequency of the messages." Another issue facing airlines and pilots is the question of making something tamper-proof. Manufacturers say that can mean devices that won't be able to be switched off in-flight. "Speaking as a former pilot myself, if I had a particular piece of kit in the cockpit and I wanted to stop it smoking or being on fire, I could disable that," said Hiatt. "Now they're saying they want to take that away from the pilot. So there are some diverse opinions which will be explored."
Aviation taskforce wants to ensure planes cannot be "lost" in the future . Tracking, not data streaming, is the answer, says head of IATA . Air France already uses technology to enable frequent tracking updates .

CSKA Moscow officials have accused Manchester airport immigration officials of deliberately refusing their star player Zoran Tosic the right to play in the Champions League match at the Etihad Stadium. Former Manchester United winger Tosic is not in the team to face City after allegedly arriving at the airport on Tuesday with the wrong visa. The Serb was allowed in the country but not allowed to play in or even attend the match. Now directors of the Russian club have claimed the decision was a deliberate act aimed at sabotaging CSKA’s plans for tonight’s game in Group E. CSKA Moscow's Zoran Tosic was told he couldn’t play against Manchester City because of a visa issue . According to sources in Russia, the former Manchester United player was only in possession of a ‘transit visa’ rather than the necessary work visa. As such he was allowed in to the country but told he could not play in the game or even travel to the stadium for the game. It is understood that Tosic is currently at the CSKA team hotel in Manchester City centre. CSKA, meanwhile, are considering an official complaint, feeling that their player has been deliberately targeted because of the threat he carries on the field. City need to win after taking only two points from their first three matches. Tosic (left) apparently only had a 'transit visa' and so was forced to stay at the team's hotel during the match . CSKA general director Roman Babayev said: ‘Initially there was a discrepancy and he was issued not a tourist visa, but a transit visa. ‘The English consulate advised that Serbs do not really need a tourist visa, they may arrive as transit passengers without a visa and it is issued on the spot. ‘Nevertheless, the transit visa was issued, so he had the right to stay in the UK for 48 hours, that is enough. ‘But the English border guards showed some over-adherence to the rules and found on the internet that he is a CSKA player, and felt that he had come to England to work. ‘They demanded a wok visa, which is impossible and unacceptable. ‘After a long time of wrangling, he was admitted to the country because they had no right not to (let him in), as he had a visa. Sergio Aguero gives Manchester City the lead during the two side's clash at the Khimki Arena in Moscow . ‘However, they seized his passport, which is also the first time in our experience that a passport of a citizen of another country has been confiscated. ‘The English migration service has received several requests from the Serbian consulate in England and the Russian embassy in England. ‘They considered the matter at length and in the end, not only did he not go to the match, he was even forbidden to be a spectator at the stadium and they demanded that he leave the territory of Manchester before the match. ‘Will we submit a protest? English people still can’t calm down, but, I think there is already no sense in it, because it already won’t affect the result, but it’s not very pleasant. ‘I am sure that this would not have happened in any other European country.’

These are the horrific injuries suffered by a high-flying student who told a man to stop groping her at the Notting Hill Carnival. Mary Brandon, 22, said she was enjoying the festivities with friends on Monday when a strange man in the crowd grabbed her backside. When he ignored her pleas for him to stop, she said she pushed him away – but instead of leaving he punched her hard in the face. Shocking: Mary Brandon (pictured, right, before the attack and, left, after it) said she was assaulted at Notting Hill Carnival after telling a man to stop groping her. She pleaded with him to stop - but instead, he 'punched her' Horrified passers-by called paramedics and she was taken to hospital where she spent nine hours being treated for a battered eye socket. Yesterday Miss Brandon, who is the granddaughter of a life peer and High Court judge, uploaded photographs of her injuries to the internet to raise awareness of violence towards women. The images went viral after friends of the Leeds University student shared them on social media. She wrote on Facebook: ‘I pushed him away, exercising my right to tell a man to stop touching my body without my permission, so he took a swing at me and punched me in the face. Response: The Met Police (seen at the event) confirmed they were investigating but had not made any arrests . ‘Carnival is supposed to be about community and good vibes. I wanted to have a good time but instead I spent nine hours in A&E because of this coward.’ Miss Brandon said she hoped the photographs would act as a deterrent to other men, and said anyone who thought such behaviour was acceptable was ‘not welcome’ at the carnival . ‘A woman should be able to leave the house without fear of being sexually assaulted,’ she added. ‘Maybe it’d be safer to just ignore it when someone invades your space and body. ‘But I can honestly say I will always stand up to someone who thinks they can get away with this behaviour and I’d take a punch again from this loser or any other loser who thinks it’s OK to treat women like this.’ The attack is thought to have happened at 5.30pm in Westbourne Park Road, West London, as the annual Caribbean festival was in full swing. Yesterday, the Metropolitan Police confirmed they were investigating but had not yet made any arrests. More than 250 people were arrested at this year’s carnival. Miss Brandon, who is studying for an English degree, is the granddaughter of the late Henry Vivian Brandon, Baron Brandon of Oakbrook. He served as a judge in the 1970s and 1980s, and was made a life peer in 1981. Hundreds of thousands of people descend on the west London area every year to take part in celebrations . Yesterday, her mother Amelia, 59, said: ‘I’m proud of her. If people don’t speak out about violence like this, it might add to the problem. ‘I hope that the police catch the person who did this. There must have been lots of CCTV around and people taking video and photos. Someone must have caught him somewhere. ‘It’s awful and it’s not in tune with the atmosphere of the carnival.’

(CNN) -- Scientists have unearthed a giant virus more than 30,000 years old from the frozen soil in a remote region of Siberia. While this ancient virus is harmless to people, the scientists behind the discovery warn that the discovery suggests that the thawing of permafrost in polar regions, as a result of either climate change or mining, could bring threats to human health. The ancient virus, named Pithovirus sibericum, infects amoebas, not humans or animals. It survived in the Siberian ice from a period when woolly mammoths and saber-tooth cats roamed the earth. The scientists found it in the Chukotka Autonomous Region, the most northeasterly region of Russia, which lies across the Bering Strait from Alaska. Its discovery was reported by the researchers, from French and Russian institutions, in an article published this week by the U.S. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Reemergence . The discovery of Pithovirus "shows how incomplete our understanding of microscopic biodiversity is when it comes to exploring new environments," France's National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) said. And the potentially bad news: the reemergence of other viruses "is no longer the domain of science fiction," the center said. These include viruses that were long considered eradicated, such as smallpox, whose replication process is similar to that of Pithovirus, according to the scientists. "This is an indication that viruses pathogenic for human or animals might also be preserved in old permafrost layers, including some that have caused planet-wide epidemics in the past," said Jean-Michel Claverie, one of the study's co-authors. Far more genes . Scientists were previously aware of two distinct families of giant viruses, Megaviridae and Pandoraviridae. This latest discovery establishes the existence of a third family. Giant viruses contain far more genes than common viruses. Pithovirus has about 500 genes, dwarfing viruses like those that cause AIDS or influenza, which contain about 10 genes, according to Claverie. But Pithovirus is in turn comfortably eclipsed by a previously discovered giant virus, Pandoravirus, which contains roughly 2,500 genes.

By . Mark Prigg . It can dwarf even the most bling of rings on Earth. Researchers have discovered a star the size of our planet made entirely from diamond.

Artist impression of the The coldest, faintest white dwarf star ever detected, that is so cool that its carbon has crystallized, forming the Earth-size diamond in space. White dwarfs are the extremely dense end-states of stars like our Sun that have collapsed to form an object approximately the size of the Earth. Composed mostly of carbon and oxygen, white dwarfs slowly cool and fade over billions of years. The object in this new study is likely the same age as the Milky Way, approximately 11 billion years old. It is 900 light-years away in the direction of the constellation Aquarius. 'It’s a really remarkable object,' said David Kaplan, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. 'These things should be out there, but because they are so dim they are very hard to find.' Kaplan and his colleagues found this stellar gem using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory’s (NRAO) Green Bank Telescope (GBT) and Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), as well as other observatories.White dwarfs are the extremely dense end-states of stars like our Sun that have collapsed to form an object approximately the size of the Earth. Composed mostly of carbon and oxygen, white dwarfs slowly cool and fade over billions of years. The object in this new study is likely the same age as the Milky Way, approximately 11 billion years old. Pulsars are rapidly spinning neutron stars, the superdense remains of massive stars that have exploded as supernovas. As neutron stars spin, lighthouse-like beams of radio waves, streaming from the poles of its powerful magnetic field, sweep through space. When one of these beams sweeps across the Earth, radio telescopes can capture the pulse of radio waves. The pulsar companion to this white dwarf, dubbed PSR J2222-0137, was the first object in this system to be detected. It was found using the GBT by Jason Boyles, then a graduate student at West Virginia University in Morgantown. conditions on the star are so cool that its carbon has crystallized, forming the Earth-size diamond in space. The pulsar was then observed over a two-year period with the VLBA by Adam Deller, an astronomer at the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy (ASTRON). These observations pinpointed its location and distance from the Earth -- approximately 900 light-years away in the direction of the constellation Aquarius. The researchers calculated that the white dwarf would be no more than a comparatively cool 3,000 degrees Kelvin (2,700 degrees Celsius). Our Sun at its center is about 5,000 times hotter. Astronomers believe that such a cool, collapsed star would be largely crystallized carbon, not unlike a diamond. Other such stars have been identified and they are theoretically not that rare, but with a low intrinsic brightness, they can be deucedly difficult to detect. Its fortuitous location in a binary system with a neutron star enabled the team to identify this one.

By . Harriet Arkell . PUBLISHED: . 08:01 EST, 11 December 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 13:46 EST, 11 December 2013 . Sarah Pilkington, 34, is accused of ill-treating elderly dementia patients at the Plymouth care home where she worked . A worker in a care home was aggressive with elderly dementia patients and behaved 'as if she was fighting someone in a bar' rather than helping vulnerable people, a court heard. Sarah Pilkington, 34, who is accused of ill-treating people lacking mental capacity, abused, smacked and threatened 'to deck' patients at the Plymouth care home where she worked, it was alleged. The brunette is said to have wrenched an 88-year-old man’s arm and swore at him when he refused to get dressed, 'smacked or swiped' another elderly man’s hands, and threatened a 74-year-old woman for spilling tea. Plymouth Crown Court heard that Pilkington’s behaviour was more like someone 'picking a fight in a bar' than a care worker looking after vulnerable pensioners. Pilkington, of Devonport, denies four counts of ill-treating people lacking mental capacity at Plymouth’s Hartley Park Care Home, where she worked as a care assistant. Prosecutor Llewellyn Sellick said the three victims were all vulnerable dementia patients who were unable to give evidence themselves. But he told jurors that Pilkington’s 'aggressive' behaviour had been witnessed by colleagues who were disgusted by the distress she caused. The first alleged abuse happened in April or May 2012 when Pilkington was taking an 88-year-old man to the lavatory. Kelly Hogan, another care assistant, told the court that Pilkington pulled him around 'aggressively' when he resisted. Miss Hogan said she felt 'upset and disgusted' by what she had witnessed. She told jurors that on another occasion she saw Pilkington put her face close to a 74-year-old woman who had poured tea over a colleague. Miss Hogan said: 'She went into her face and said ‘Nobody does that to my [expletive] mate.’' Staff at the Hartley Park Care Home in Plymouth told the court that Pilkington behaved aggressively to patients . The court heard Pilkington clashed again with the same 88-year-old when he became aggressive and refused to get dressed. Suzanna Theobald, formerly a mental health nurse at the home, said Pilkington 'wrenched' at his arm, pulling it up roughly, and swore back at him. Mrs Theobald said: 'I can’t remember the exact words she was using but she was certainly using swear words. It started to feel very threatening. 'It was like she was fighting someone in a bar rather than caring for a very vulnerable adult in a nursing home. 'It was like she was fighting someone in a bar rather than caring for a very vulnerable adult in a nursing home.' - Suzanna Theobald, mental health nurse at the home . 'I was starting to get very upset and very uncomfortable. He tried to hit out at her. She said "I will deck you’ or something along those lines."' The court heard the incident was reported to police who began an investigation into Pilkington. On Boxing Day last year she allegedly lashed out at a different 88-year-old man who tried to move a chair. Care assistant Joanna Smith said she saw Pilkington smack or swipe his hands while calling him an offensive name several times. Miss Smith told the court: 'I was disgusted at what was happening.' Kelly Scrivener, defending, challenged each witness and said none of the incidents had happened. She told Miss Hogan and Miss Smith that they would have reported her behaviour immediately had it been as they described in court. And she said Mrs Theobald made up the complaint about Pilkington because the pair had argued over switching off patient alarms at night. Pilkington denied roughing up patients and told police she had been ‘stitched up like a right kipper’, the court heard. Plymouth Crown Court heard that Pilkington denied roughing up patients and said she had been 'done up like a kipper' The court was told she has previous convictions for theft, benefit fraud, handling stolen goods and dangerous driving dating back to 1995 when she was just 15. But Pilkington said she had turned her life around since having her first daughter in 2004 and had not committed a crime for 10 years. The mother-of-two said: ‘I’m not that person any more. I’m not that scally teenager I was then.’ Pilkington claimed former colleagues had lied about her abusing patients, but prosecutor Llewellyn Sellick told her: ‘I suggest these convictions demonstrate that it’s you who is indeed dishonest and it’s you who is telling the lies in this court.’ She denied slapping an 88-year-old patient’s wrists and repeatedly calling him a ‘p****’ after he approached her in a lounge area last Boxing Day. She told the jury the pair had a good relationship and would often ‘sit down and share a takeaway and watch the telly’. In another alleged incident Pilkington is said to have wrenched a different 88-year-old resident’s arm making the bones in his shoulder ‘creak’. But Pilkington said there was no truth in the allegation and that she merely had a bit of ‘banter’ with the vulnerable resident. It was also claimed that when a senior colleague asked her about a complaint she replied that she did not ‘give a f***’ about patients. The court was read out a recording of the interview where Pilkington denied all the allegations and told the police she had been ‘stitched up like a right kipper’. Gemma Poulding, an ex-colleague of Pilkington, told the court she was a hard worker with a bubbly personality, and said she had never seen Pilkington ill-treat, abuse or threaten any of the residents. The trial continues. Sorry we are unable to accept comments for legal reasons.

(CNN) -- Big Ben, arguably the world's most famous clock, celebrates on Sunday 150 years of keeping London on time. The British landmark has lived through war, bad weather and disasters. Big Ben's distinctive bongs have been a part of the London scene for 150 years. Big Ben is the 14-ton bell inside the world's largest four-faced chiming clock, although most people use the name to describe the tower that houses it. The clock is perched on a 96-meter (310-foot) elegant tower at the Westminster Bridge end of the Palace of Westminster. The Victorian masterpiece, which provides distinctive chimes known as bongs, was voted Britain's favorite monument in 2008. It has been featured in films such as "101 Dalmatians" and "Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix." Big Ben has been disrupted a few times over the years for various reasons, including weather and breakages. Its bongs went silent for about two months in August 2007 to allow a crew to repair its mechanism system. During that time, the rest of the clock was running on an electric system. It was fully restarted again October 1. The clock pays tribute to Britain's royal history: It has a Latin inscription of the phrase: "O Lord, save our Queen Victoria the First." The ornate masterpiece has some quirky features. The hour hand, which weighs 300 kilograms (661 pounds), is made of gun metal while the minute hands are made of copper sheet. The minute hands would not work when they were first made of cast iron because they were too heavy. The clock started working on May 31, 1859, after the lighter copper hands were installed. The origins of the landmark's name are obscure. Some say it was named after the 1850s heavyweight boxer Ben Caunt while others suggest it was named after Sir Benjamin Hall, a former member of parliament. Hall, the commissioner of works in 1859, was responsible for ordering the bell. Alan Hughes, the director of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry that made the bell, prefers the latter. "I suppose I like it chiefly because it was a nickname of a man who was big and loud and pompous, and never used one word if 27 would do," he said in a 2008 interview. Hughes' company also made America's Liberty Bell and a number of others for cathedrals and churches around the world.
London's Big Ben turns 150 years old on Sunday . Last year, Victorian masterpiece was voted Britain's favorite monument . No one is quite sure where the clock's moniker came from .

People may also notice seals and sea lions spinning or twisting around in the water and sticking their flippers in the air. 'This is a natural behaviour known as thermo-regulating where by the seal is controlling its body temperature by exposing different parts to the sun and sticking flippers in and out of the water,' Mr Craigie said.

(CNN) -- TIME magazine's cover story, which hit the newsstand Thursday, argues that Latino voters will cast the deciding vote in the upcoming election. After watching the Republican candidates lock the kryptonite that is the immigration issue around their necks during the Arizona debate, my bet is that President Barack Obama could win another term -- even if he loses key swing states such as Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin -- but he must make sure he accomplishes one thing first: Connect with Latinos. Republicans have not connected with Hispanics; the candidates' approaches to immigration are not compelling and lack substance, from talk of double 30-foot electrified fences to anchor babies and self-deportation. In fact, it could very well be that the 20 Arizona Latino voters on the cover of TIME and half a million more will turn out to vote in Arizona and flip the state to Obama. Obama comes into the election with 196 electoral votes from safe Democratic states. If he takes Arizona and if Hispanic voters help him flip Missouri, which McCain won by fewer than 4,000 votes, and help him retain Colorado, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico and North Carolina, then Obama wins with 279 electoral votes, nine more than the 270 needed. If he can retain Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia or Wisconsin, also populated with many Latino swing voters, then he could win in a landslide. It is clear, then, that connecting with Latino voters could very well be a tipping point for the president; the question is how to make that connection. In his book "The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in Deciding the Fate of the Nation," Drew Westen convincingly argues that "people vote for the candidate who elicits the right feelings, not the candidate who presents the best arguments." Beyond the shared concern for economic growth, jobs, education and health care, Latinos are focused on immigration because the majority of the undocumented workers living here are from Latin America. This is an issue that resonates at a deeply emotional level with Latinos, whether they are descendants of Spanish colonists or a recently arrived Mexican sleeping on a cousin's couch. Thus to really, deeply connect with Hispanic voters, any candidate needs to address the immigration issue by supporting comprehensive immigration reform and the Dream Act, which would provide a path to citizenship for those who earn a college degree or serve two years in the military. This is a vital first step to earning the trust of Hispanic voters, who understand that the country needs strong border security but also know that we need a fair way to deal with the nearly 10 million economic refugees who are working in this country and contributing to our society. It's a matter of respect. So how does Obama -- who has a dubious record himself on immigration -- win the Latino vote? First he wins the ground war in the battleground states, which is door-to-door combat. Next he outspends Republicans in Spanish-language media, just like he did John McCain in 2008, by five to one. It's no coincidence that on Tuesday, Obama did an interview with L.A.-based "Piolin," the most influential Spanish-language radio personality in the country. The president reassured Latinos that he is strongly committed to passing comprehensive immigration reform and lambasted the Republican Party for its extreme views and intransigence on the issue. Hispanics want to feel they are voting for an authentic leader. Hispanics don't have to agree with every position Obama takes, but they must believe in and identify with his worldview. He needs to explain that the Democratic Party is a welcoming place for Hispanics, that his world view of America is that of a caring, responsible, family and that his political ideals are based on empathy and fairness. Getting these ideas across to Latinos is vital to securing their votes. Once Obama has established a deep emotional connection with Latinos, he can connect directly to the heart of Latino voters with three simple messages: . 1. The economy and jobs. Under Obama's leadership, an economy that was losing 500,000 jobs a month in the final months of 2008 is now gaining more than 200,000 jobs per month. His policies are working; they just need more time. 2. Health care. Despite unanimous opposition from Republicans, Obama fulfilled his promise of making health care available to all Americans. Now 32 million more Americans -- including Hispanics -- will be able to afford insurance for the first time. 3. Education. The president doubled the government's investment in scholarships and financial aid, making college more affordable to millions of Americans. Now students from working-class Hispanic families can go to college and get good jobs. On the contrary, Republicans may blow hard about their understanding and affection for Hispanics, munching on burritos in the barrio on the campaign trail, but the evidence of authenticity of leadership and the strong record crucial to the Latino vote are just not there. The refusal of all the GOP candidates to really look at immigration and offer a plan -- despite the glad-handing and tepid avowals of commitment -- makes it clear that the GOP just doesn't have the deep connection with Latinos necessary to pull off a win in November. Join the conversation at Facebook/CNNOpinion . The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Charles Garcia.

Washington (CNN) -- President Obama said Tuesday that U.S. intelligence has had considerable success, but that the botched Christmas Day attack shows "the system has failed" in a major way. "When a suspected terrorist is able to board a plane with explosives on Christmas Day, the system has failed in a potentially disastrous way," Obama said at the White House in a statement to reporters. The president used even stronger language in a private meeting in the Situation Room with top aides, a senior administration official said. "This was a screw-up that could have been disastrous," he said, according to the official. "We dodged a bullet, but just barely." Tragedy was averted "by brave individuals, not because the system worked, and that is not acceptable. While there will be a tendency for finger pointing, I will not tolerate it," the senior official quoted Obama as saying. In his public comments, the president said that U.S. intelligence had uncovered numerous "red flags" prior to the attack. "The U.S. government had sufficient information to have uncovered this plot and potentially disrupt the Christmas Day attack, but our intelligence community failed to connect those dots, which would have placed the suspect on the no-fly list," Obama said. "In other words, this was not a failure to collect intelligence; it was a failure to integrate and understand the intelligence that we already had," the president said. "The information was there, agencies and analysts who needed it had access to it, and our professionals were trained to look for it and to bring it all together." Obama said he could accept the imperfect nature of intelligence work, "but it is increasingly clear that intelligence was not fully analyzed or fully leveraged," he said, adding: "That's not acceptable, and I will not tolerate it." According to authorities, Nigerian-born Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab tried to detonate explosives hidden in his underwear as a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam, Netherlands, made its approach to Detroit, Michigan, on December 25. He faces federal charges. AbdulMutallab had a multiple-entry U.S. visa. His father, a leading banker in Nigeria, warned U.S. authorities before the attack that his son might be involved with Islamic extremists, but the information failed to prompt a response such as canceling the visa. In his address, the president listed steps so far to enhance security, including more airport screening and tighter monitoring of U.S. visa holders. In one step, senior State Department officials told CNN on Tuesday that new criteria for information collected on possible terrorists would make it easier to ban them from U.S.-bound flights. Speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the material, the officials said the United States has lowered the threshold for information considered important enough to put suspicious individuals on a no-fly list or revoke their visas. If the new criteria had been in place before Christmas, AbdulMutallab would have been added to the no-fly list, the officials said. Obama said he ordered his national security team to complete preliminary reviews of the situation this week so that suggested reforms can be implemented right way. "Time and again we've learned that quickly piecing together information and taking swift action is critical to staying one step ahead of a nimble adversary," Obama said. "So we have to do better, and we will do better, and we have to do it quickly. American lives are on the line." Obama reiterated, however, his intention to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. "We will close Guantanamo prison, which has damaged our national security interests and become a tremendous recruiting tool for al Qaeda," Obama said. "In fact, that was an explicit rationale for the formation of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula." Critics of the Guantanamo transfers have raised concerns over political instability in Yemen and the presence of al Qaeda on the Arabian Peninsula, noting that some previous detainees released to Yemen by the Bush administration have renewed their terrorist ties. Obama repeated an earlier statement by his spokesman that transferring Yemeni detainees at Guantanamo back to Yemen would be halted for now. "Given the unsettled situation, I've spoken to the attorney general and we've agreed that we will not be transferring additional detainees back to Yemen at this time," Obama said. Earlier in the day, the president met with FBI Director Robert Mueller, Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, an administration official said. The group was to have discussed possible changes to terror watch lists, as well as accountability by responsible authorities. The president met with Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan for 90 minutes on Monday and was scheduled to meet with him again Tuesday, the official said. Brennan gave Obama an update on his review of the terror watch listing system. Tuesday's meetings were held just hours after the reopening of the U.S. Embassy in Yemen. It had been closed after intelligence suggested that four al Qaeda operatives could have been planning an attack on the compound, a senior administration official said Monday. Authorities say AbdulMutallab may have received training in Yemen from the terrorist group al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. A statement posted on the Embassy's Web site said "successful counterterrorism operations" conducted by Yemeni security forces Monday north of the capital, Sanaa, addressed "a specific area of concern and have contributed to the Embassy's decision to resume operations." Yemen's state-run news agency, SABA, reported Monday that two al Qaeda suspects were killed and two others were injured in clashes with a Yemeni anti-terrorism unit. FBI investigators "gleaned usable, actionable intelligence" from AbdulMutallab in the hours after his arrest, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday. Gibbs declined to elaborate on the nature of the intelligence. CNN's Dan Lothian and Suzanne Malveaux contributed to this report.

As New York City thieves steal smartphones and tablets in ever greater numbers, the NYPD has assigned a group of officers to hunt down the devices. The NYPD launched the team about a year ago "when we saw a spike in (thefts of) Apple products specifically," Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said. An Apple-picking problem on New York City's streets and subways has worsened in recent years. The overall crime rate in the city increased 3% last year -- but "if you subtracted just the increase in Apple product thefts, we would have had an overall decrease in crime in New York," Browne said. Generally, the NYPD team's first step in tracing pilfered gadgets is obtaining the stolen device's serial number. Then "we supply it to Apple, and we say, when that product is activated, we want to know who it is," according to Browne. The tech giant has largely cooperated with the NYPD's subpoenas. "I would say we're working with them. They're not fighting this," Browne said. Apple did not respond to a request for comment. The NYPD's detectives have found that stolen smartphones and tablets don't tend to travel far. About 75% of them stay in the city of New York, Browne said. And those that cross city limits are still likely to be in the state. Browne did not quantify how successful the department has been at tracing stolen smartphones and tablets, but he did cite a few cases that had happy endings. In one, an employee stole three iPads from his workplace, then gave them to two relatives in New York and one in the Dominican Republic. The NYPD was able to return all three to their rightful owners. Sometimes the trail leads back to the person who swiped the iPhone; other times it leads to an unwitting owner of stolen property. While the officers on the NYPD's smartphone squad don't focus exclusively on Apple products, they do spend most of their time chasing stolen iPhones or iPads, "simply because the number of Apple thefts is a reflection of their general popularity," Browne said. Law-enforcement agencies like the NYPD aren't alone in targeting smartphone and tablet theft. The industry is taking steps to address it, too. In a letter to the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, the wireless industry's trade association last year released details of a voluntary effort to "help law enforcement deter smartphone theft." A major plank of that effort is the creation of a database for smartphones that are reported stolen. Phones on the database, which is scheduled to be up and running at the end of November, would be barred being activated or provided service on an LTE network in the United States.
Theft of Apple smartphones and tablets inspires special NYPD unit . For about a year, officers have specifically targeted theft of mobile devices . NYPD official says small crime increase in NYC would have dipped without Apple thefts .

New Delhi, India (CNN) -- Britain's prime minister delivered a sober message Wednesday to Pakistan: Don't export terror. "We want to see a strong and a stable and a democratic Pakistan," David Cameron said in Bangalore, India, "but we cannot tolerate in any sense the idea that this country is allowed to look both ways and is able in any way to promote the export of terror, whether to India or whether to Afghanistan, or anywhere else in the world." Cameron made several remarks in a speech and a question and answer session. A transcript of his comments were posted on the prime minister's website. "The relationship is important, but it should be a relationship based on a very clear message that it is not right ... to have any relationship with groups that are promoting terror. Democratic states that want to be part of the developed world cannot do that, and the message to Pakistan from the U.S. and from the U.K. is very clear on that point," he said. His remarks come as the military documents divulged by WikiLeaks include indications that Pakistan's spy service, the Directorate of Inter-Services Intelligence, or the ISI, may have been helping militants in Afghanistan, an assertion strongly disputed by Pakistani officials. The United States has been working to help bolster the Pakistani government's efforts to battle Taliban and al Qaeda elements in the country. The NATO-led command has been focused on insurgents operating along the Afghan and Pakistani border, and India has long been concerned about militancy in India that comes from Pakistan. He also said that India and Britain must work closer on security, saying "the terrorists we face are adept at crossing borders, communicating globally, and concocting the most abhorrent plans to destroy our way of life." "Five years ago, 52 people were killed on the tube and on a bus in London. And in November 2008, we watched in horror as terrorists went on the rampage in Mumbai, killing scores of Indians and three British nationals. As you know, we worked with your government in the investigation into these events," Cameron said. "We remain determined that those responsible must be brought to justice." He said that when it comes to protecting their mutual citizenry, developments in Afghanistan and Pakistan can't be "overlooked." "Let me state clearly: your relations with those two countries are a matter for you and you alone. But let me also say we, like you, want a Pakistan that is stable, democratic and free from terror. We, like you, want an Afghanistan that is secure, free from interference from its neighbors and not a threat to our security. We, like you, are determined that groups like the Taliban, the Haqqani network or Lashkar-e-Tayyiba should not be allowed to launch attacks on Indian and British citizens in India or in Britain. Neither should they be able to do so against our people, whether soldiers or civilians, from both our countries who are working for peace in Afghanistan. Our interests are your interests, so let us work together to realize them." When asked about Cameron's remarks, a spokesman for Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Britain and Pakistan "have a robust and comprehensive partnership, including on counter-terrorism." "Terrorists have no religion, no humanity, no specific ethnicity or geography. Terrorists' networks, as the U.K. knows full well mutate and operate in different regions and cities. The genesis of terrorism as a global phenomenon warrants close attention. Pakistan is as much a victim of terrorism as are Afghanistan, India or other countries," the statement said. "Pakistan has done much more than any other country in combating terrorism. Our people and security forces have rendered innumerable sacrifices. We hope that our friends will be able to persuade India to view this issue objectively and the value of 'cooperation' in counter-terrorism." Pakistan has a troubled history with India, and in the past India has accused the ISI of supporting militant separatists in Indian-administered Kashmir. Pakistan and Afghanistan also have a tumultuous past. During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s, religious schools in Pakistan helped train fighters who battled the Soviets. After the Taliban took over Afghanistan in 1996 and imposed fundamentalist rule, Pakistan was one of the few countries that recognized the regime diplomatically. It dropped its support after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on Washington and New York. Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, which means "Army of the Pure," was blamed for the November 2008 Mumbai attack in which nearly 200 people were killed over three days. The man regarded as the group's leader says it wasn't involved in the act despite evidence to the contrary. Experts say that group claims it is focused on the same issue as it was when created: freeing the disputed territory of Kashmir from Indian rule -- a dispute that has been the source of great tension between India and Pakistan for decades. Security isn't the only item on Cameron's agenda. He intends to boost business and trade ties, and will meet Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday. Cameron visited Turkey a day earlier, where he pushed for Turkish membership in the European Union and also addressed world crises including the tensions in the Palestinian territory of Gaza, which he labeled a "prison."
NEW: Pakistan says it too is a victim of terrorism . Cameron makes remarks in the aftermath of the Wikileaks . He says India and Britain must work closer on security . He points finger at Lashkar e-Tayyiba .

Phillip Schofield confessed he had bought alcohol-filled advent calendars, but Christian groups failed to find his choice of gifts amusing . It was for Phillip Schofield a fun festive gesture. Confessing he had recently purchased three advent calendars filled with miniature bottles of alcohol, he jokily added: 'I have some friends who appreciate the wonders and diversity of alcohol.' Unfortunately for the popular TV presenter, 52, Christian groups yesterday failed to find his choice of gifts quite as amusing. To them the calendars, which feature a tipple behind every window, are silly gimmicks, which distract from the meaning of Christmas. The advent period, which begins on December 1 and is seen as the countdown to Christmas, is marked with candles or calendars which relate to the Christmas story. Sometimes there are chocolates behind each daily window. Now shoppers can pick up advent calendars with a range of treats hidden away, including alcohol. Stocked in high-end department stores and online, the calendars feature 24 miniature bottles of spirits. Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and Fortnum and Mason all sell 'Drinks By The Dram' advent calendars made by the alcohol company Masters of Malt. There is also a whisky one, a gin one – nicknamed 'ginvent' – and also rum or cognac-based calendars, with prices ranging from £132.50 to £175. The company also offers a tequila calendar, which is available online for around £150. A premium whisky calendar costs £279.95 on the brand's website. Schofield, who has two daughters with his wife Stephanie Lowe and is co-host of ITV show This Morning, revealed his choice of gifts in an interview with Waitrose Weekend in which he said: 'Three little advent calendars. In one, behind every window there's a little bottle of tequila – all different kinds. For two other friends, I've got calendars with miniatures of different gins. I have some friends who appreciate the wonders and diversity of alcohol.' Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and Fortnum and Mason all sell 'Drinks By The Dram' advent calendars made by the alcohol company Masters of Malt . Reacting to his comments, David Marshall, whose company The Meaningful Chocolate Company claims to sell the UK's only Fairtrade, charitable and Christmas story-telling advent calendar, said: 'We all like a tipple at Christmas but a bottle of booze everyday seems to be far away from the spirit and the meaning of Christmas. 'Advent is a time of preparation for Christmas and to replace that preparation with mini bottles of booze seems to be taking a step away from what most people would call the true meaning of Christmas.' Stephen Green, a spokesman for the organisation Christian Voice, said: 'Advent is not a time for feasting, it's a time for reflection and waiting. The time for feasting is Christmas Day. 'People need to think, is Christmas really all about drinking and living it up, or is it about reflecting on the fact that God became man in Jesus Christ, who was born as a baby in a manger. 'That's really what it is, that God became one of us in Jesus Christ, we can do without the silliness of alcohol in advent calendars.'

She discovered a bright red bite just below her knee and now her landlord is investigating whether there could be a nest in the house. Chloe said: 'I woke up Thursday morning with a bite on my leg which I assumed was a mosquito, but it was large, swollen and made my leg ache all day.

False widow spiders are distinctive for their shiny, black flesh, bulbous bodies, thick legs and skull-like patterns . False widow spiders are distinctive for their shiny, black flesh, bulbous bodies, thick legs and skull-like patterns. Millions of false widows, Britain's most venomous spider, have been found across the UK and the population is believed to be growing. The species has a brown bulbous abdomen with cream markings that look like a skull. They have long legs and can reach about 15mm in size. Also known as steatoda nobilis, the spider is frequently confused for the black widow, which has deadly venom. The false widow was first spotted in the UK in Torquay, Devon, in 1879, and it is understood that it may have made its way to these shores from Madeira or the Canary Islands in a shipment of bananas. The Natural History Museum says that warmer summers mean the spider is spreading northwards through the UK, having been found mainly in southern England.

By . Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor . PUBLISHED: . 05:54 EST, 15 May 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 10:45 EST, 15 May 2013 . Britain faces paying an extra £770million to Brussels this year after being outvoted by other members of the European Union. David Cameron had vowed to take the axe to the EU budget for future years and oppose ‘unjustified’ increase demanded for this year. But the UK was outnumbered when finance ministers from across the EU backed a plan to increase the budget by £6.2billion. Finance ministers from across Europe have backed the budget increase for this year . It means governments imposing austerity across will have to find millions more to hand over to Brussels, including £770million for the UK. It is a major setback for Mr Cameron at a time when he is under pressure over his promise to hold an in-out referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU. The Prime Minister is adamant that he can renegotiate a new deal with Brussels, before putting it to a nationwide vote. But he was unable to stop the new raid on national budgets to plug a shortfall in the EU to settle unpaid bills. It means the UK will pay a total of £14.7 billion this year. Conservative MEP and former European Commission chief accountant Marta Andreasen said yesterday that it ‘made a joke’ of the recent budget agreement and ‘sets a terrible precedent.’ She said: ‘It seems bizarre to me that Germany, renowned for its strict approach to finances now wants to reward EU institutions who throw taxpayers’ cash around like confetti, with an initial 7.3bn euro (£6.1bn) top up and more to come. ‘When the European Commission can snap its fingers at complaint MEPs and finance ministers and instantly obtain vast amounts of cash it sets a terrible precedent…what isn’t funny is the price to be paid by this action. European citizens already suffering harsh austerity, will once more have to pick up the bill.’ UKIP leader Nigel Farage said the result was a 'huge defeat' for David Cameron . The UK government expressed its dismay at the decision to press ahead with the rise. A Treasury spokesman said: ‘When countries and citizens across Europe are having to make difficult decisions with their budgets, Europe itself should practice what it preaches with its own budget," said a Treasury spokesman. ‘This amendment was unjustified, which is why Britain opposed it.’ Only Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Austria backed Britain in trying to oppose the budget rise. But Germany and France withdrew opposition. Nigel Farage, the leader of UKIP, said: ‘What timing, what irony. On the day Cameron is offering a meaningless promise of a referendum, he gets an iron fisted rejection from Brussels. ‘This is another huge defeat for him at EU level, and shows the possibility of EU reform is non-existent. Lets face the facts, the only way is out.’

Daniela Vargova, (pictured) whose heart is too weak to pump blood around her body, is being kept alive by hi-tech equipment in her handbag . A young woman whose heart is too weak to pump blood around her body is being kept alive thanks to hi-tech equipment in her handbag. Daniela Vargova, from Chippenham in Wiltshire, almost died when her heart began to fail. The 30-year-old now relies on a battery-powered pump to operate her bionic heart and keep her alive. Having to keep the device with her at all times means Ms Vargova carries the life-saving pack in her handbag. She will rely on the pump, which is known as a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) until a donor heart becomes available, after suffering a series of cardiac arrests. ‘Sometimes I find it tough carrying the LVAD around with me all the time,' she said. 'It’s quite weird knowing that it’s thanks to something in my handbag that I’m alive. ‘But I know how lucky I am - I’ve been given such a great chance to live that not everyone has. ‘I wouldn’t get the opportunity to do all those little things in life that people love if it wasn’t for my LVAD.’ She said that because the device is stashed away in her handbag, people fail to realise she has heart problems and it enables her to spend time with her husband, Feliks Rahuoja, 29, and family. In August 2013, Ms Vargova underwent almost 4 hours of surgery to be fitted with the LVAD at the Harefield Hospital in London. She also received treatment closer to home at the Bath Royal United Hospital. ‘It’s been a long road but now I get to live life normally,’ she said. ‘The LVAD is fitted internally - so there is a wire that goes from the external pack into my groin and travels up to my chest. ‘The external part are the batteries that keep the pump going - which is the part I carry in my bag. The 30-year-old must keep the power pack for her bionic heart with her at all times, so she carries it around in her handbag (pictured) In August 2013, Ms Vargova (pictured) underwent almost four hours of surgery to be fitted with her LVAD at Harefield Hospital. 'It's been a long road to but now I get to live life normally,' she said . ‘It weighs about two and a half kilos, so it’s pretty tiring to carry it around all day. ‘I have to change the batteries every six hours so I always keep two spares too. ‘There is no limit to how long I can have it in - there are some people I know who have had an LVAD for several years. ‘It’s hard to live with sometimes but it certainly does the trick. I could have quite easily died last year, so I just feel so lucky that I’m alive.’ Ms Vargova was fitted with her LVAD after suffering a life-threatening cardiac arrest in July last year,  having had problems for around six months. She first began to become unwell in December 2012, when she suffered with a severe cough and chest pains. ‘I knew something was seriously wrong because I was just so ill all the time - I could hardly do basic day to day things,’ she said. ‘Eventually we went to hospital and on the way there I had a cardiac arrest. Ms Vargova (pictured left) said that because the device is stashed away in her handbag, people cannot guess she has heart problems and it enables her to spend time with her husband, Feliks, and her family . Ms Vargova’s surgeon, Mr André Simon, director of transplantation at the Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust, said: ‘A ventricular assist device (VAD) is a mechanical blood pump that is used to support the function of a failing heart. ‘They are used in patients like Daniela, whose only option is a heart transplant and this is known as a ‘bridge to transplant’. ‘The VAD enables patients to leave hospital and continue to live their life until a much-needed donor heart can be found. ‘Many people are able to go to work, school or university and we even have patients who travel abroad with their VAD. ‘Unfortunately there is a severe shortage of donor organs and many patients are living with a VAD for several years before receiving a transplant.’ ‘I was diagnosed with ventricular arrhythmia - an abnormal heart beat - and we were told that it was fairly easy to manage and I would be fine - I was given an ICD [a type of pacemaker] and we thought that would be the end of it. ‘But the symptoms came back and that’s when I was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy…which meant my heart was too weak to pump the blood around my body. ‘I was told my only option was a heart transplant and was transferred to Harefield Hospital. ‘It was just so unexpected and overwhelming - I’ve never heard of anyone having a transplant before.’ Ms Vargova’s heart was only functioning at 10 per cent and after three months in hospital she had a cardiac arrest. ‘Doctors told Feliks that I had a very low chance of survival and he should call my family as it was unlikely I would make it,’ she said. ‘I was rushed to theatre because the ICD hadn’t kicked in and my heart function was below one per cent. Ms Vargova's problems began six months before she was fitted with the LVAD. She was given a pacemaker but was later diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy and had a cardiac arrest. Doctors told her husband Feliks (pictured with Ms Vargova) she had a 'very low chance of survival' ‘I was in theatre for almost 10 hours and came out the next morning on ECMO – a type of life support. ‘It was really touch-and-go but luckily I managed to come around nine days later.' After she woke up from the operation, Ms Vargova was told by her cardiac surgeon that she would be given an LVAD. ‘Feliks and I had seen some other patients with them, and the nurses had told us about them, so we knew how incredible they were - we couldn’t believe that I might actually be given one. It was fantastic,’ she said. Mr Rahuoja said: ‘When Daniela had her cardiac arrest I was told that she probably wouldn’t make it out of theatre. ‘I had to wait in a little room whilst she was in surgery for almost ten hours. I can remember that room perfectly - it was a horrible time. ‘But luckily, she made a wonderful recovery and she’s doing so well now. It’s been amazing.’ Ms Vargova said: ‘It’s [The LVAD] given me my life back and I couldn’t be happier. ‘I want to say a big thank you to everyone in Harefield and Bath RUH Hospitals, especially my cardiologist Rob Lowe, my cardiac surgeon - or superman – Mr André Simon, and the transplant and VAD teams. Without them, I wouldn’t be here.’ 'The LVAD is fitted internally - so there is a wire that goes from the external pack into my groin and travels up to my chest. The external part contains the batteries that keep the pump going - which is the part I carry in my bag,' (pictured) Ms Vargova said .

The Chinese government has pledged to protect an eight-year-old boy with HIV, who was shunned by his entire village in the southwestern province of Sichuan, state media reported. A photo from a People Daily's online report last week showed the boy called "Kunkun," watching villagers unanimously vote for his removal in a meeting held in early December. Even his own grandfather, added his name to the petition signed by more than 200 villagers. "Kunkun is diagnosed with AIDS, causing great fear among the villagers and village children. In order to ensure the safety of villagers and children, we demand that authorities quarantine Kunkun for treatment," the petition read. In response, China's health authority promised to assure Kunkun with the right to medical treatment, education and a living allowance, reported China Daily. "Everyday life with an infected person doesn't affect others' health, and the infected person's rights are protected by laws and regulations," said Wu Zunyou, director of the National Center for AIDS/STD Control and Prevention in a press release issued Saturday. The United Nations had also released a statement expressing concern over the reports on Kunkun. Villager: "He's a ticking time bomb" Kunkun -- a pseudonym used to protect his identity -- was expelled from school and ostracized by members of the community after he was diagnosed in 2011, said the People Daily's newspaper. "He's a ticking time bomb. My daughter is around his age, and goes to a boarding school now. What happens if she gets bitten while playing with him here at home? That boy is too dangerous," says He Jialing, one of the villagers. The report said the boy contracted the disease from his mother before he was born. Kunkun, whose parents are migrant workers in Guangzhou, lives with his 69-year-old grandfather. With no school willing to take him in, he is often found roaming the streets alone. "No one wants to play with me," the newspaper quoted Kunkun as saying. His grandfather told local media the boy's parents have stopped sending money back home since he was diagnosed. In response to the petition, local authorities have stressed that Kunkun's rights should be respected. They plan to launch an educational campaign hoping to reduce the stigma of people living with HIV/AIDS. China's AIDS fight . Some 780,000 people are living with HIV/AIDS in China, according to the latest count by the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) in 2011. People living with HIV or AIDS in China face widespread discrimination and stigma, especially in rural areas where there is a lack of education about the disease. China has sought to tackle the stigma by establishing laws and regulations prohibiting discrimination against people with HIV. China's First Lady Peng Liyuan who was appointed World Health Organization's goodwill ambassador for AIDS in 2011, has appeared in public advertisements holding hands and playing with HIV-positive children. Despite China's fight against AIDS, cases such as Kunkun's suggest inconsistency with official policy. READ MORE: Campaigners say discrimination hinders China's AIDS fight .

By . Lizzie Parry . PUBLISHED: . 04:07 EST, 7 January 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 06:14 EST, 7 January 2014 . Dr Abhijit Banerjee has denied conducting an intimate chest examination, which was sexually motivated. Pictured arriving at a tribunal hearing in Manchester . A family doctor cupped a patient's breast in his hands and began breathing 'heavily and erratically' as she underwent an examination for a severe cough, a medical tribunal heard today. Married father-of-two Dr Abhijit Banerjee, 42, locked the door of his consulting room and told the woman to take off her bra before he knelt in front of her with his head in 'close proximity' to her nipples, it was claimed. He was also said to have squeezed the patient’s right breast and appeared to be 'jittery' during the routine chest examination. The woman claimed she could only see the top of the GP’s head as he listened under her right breast. The alleged incident occurred in March 2012 after the 42-year old woman known as Patient A went to see Dr Banerjee at the Abbeyview surgery in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, where he is senior partner. The hearing was told she had suffered chest conditions including pleurisy, pneumonia and sarcoidosis for a number of years which required up to 60 chest examinations. She had previously been prescribed antibiotics. Giving evidence from behind a screen at the Medical Practitioner’s Tribunal Service in Manchester, Patient A said: 'I told Dr Banerjee I had a severe cough and I took a place on the couch. 'He stood up and stood in front of me. I sat on the edge and he was facing me. He asked me to remove my top. He said it was so he could give me a chest exam. There was no screen or curtain. He didn’t offer me a chaperone, I’m very certain of that, but I didn’t request one either. 'I was wearing a bra and kept it on at that stage. He began to listen to my chest with a stethoscope. He wasn’t particularly talking. He also listened to my back. I leant forward because I’m used to having chest exams. 'He listened under my bra strap from the front to my chest but he didn’t explain that was what he was going to do. He then asked me to remove my bra. He said it was to listen to my chest. 'It was slightly uncomfortable but he’s a doctor. He removed it entirely and put it on the bench. I put my arm across my breasts to cover them. He began to listen to my chest through a stethoscope. 'He was listening to my chest and moved my arm away from my breast. He didn’t tell me that was what he was going to do and gave me no explanation. 'I didn’t say anything about it. He went . on his knees and held my right breast in his left hand. He was holding . the whole breast. He asked me to lean forwards into him while he was . still holding my breasts and I followed the instruction and then he . listened underneath my breast and all I could see was the top of his . head. 'His head was level with under my breast because I remember just being able to see the top of his head. He was touching my nipple as he cupped my breasts to lift it with the palm of his hand. 'He kept his hand still. He didn’t say anything while he put the stethoscope under my breast and he didn’t move it anywhere else. I thought his breathing seemed erratic. He hadn’t discussed breathing during the exam or whether he would give me a breathing demonstration. 'It came to an end when he got up and walked away and said I could get dressed. He was slightly uncomfortable but maybe that’s because I felt like that. He turned away from me quite quickly and told me to get dressed. 'I thought the chest exam was unusual while it was happening. It had made me feel uncomfortable as soon as it happened. There wasn’t one particular reason why I didn’t say anything at the time. I just wanted to leave. You don’t jump to conclusions quickly like this. She added: 'The door was locked when I came to leave the room. I recall the doctor locking the door. He didn’t tell me he had done that. When I was on the couch before he asked me to remove my top he locked the door. I unlocked the door to go out and I left. He didn’t say bye and neither did I.' Patient A claims Dr Banerjee locked the consulting room door At Abbeyview Surgery in Peterborough, before asking her to remove her bra while he examined her chest. During the examination, she claims he 'touched her nipple as he cupped her right breast', to lift it to allow him to listen to her chest . The woman later confided in a friend as to what happened before alerting her husband two days later. She made a formal complaint by letter to the surgery on May 11 and the case was referred to the Lincolnshire Primary Care NHS Trust. Chloe Hudson, counsel for the MPTS said: 'She says he locked the door of the room and told her he needed to listen to her lungs and asked her to remove her top. 'He moved her to a couch and asked her to remove her bra as it was obstructing him. She did so, and placed her arms across her breasts. 'He moved her arms out of the way and asked her to lean forwards and she says he placed his whole hand on her entire breast including her nipple. He was jittery and his breathing was erratic. 'She brought the consultation to an end, put her clothes on and soon realised she had been subject to an inappropriate examination.' Dr Banerjee, from Peterborough who specialises in minor surgery, dermatology and ear, nose and throat complaints, denies charges of sexually motivated misconduct. Miss Hudson said: 'He describes himself as being absolutely devastated to read the complaint in the letter. 'He describes a consultation which involved two complaints by the patient - she was concerned about her chest and the possibility of pneumonia. 'It is standard procedure that a full chest exam requires the doctor to listen to the front, back and side of the chest and because of the abdominal pain he had to listen to the abdomen.'

Lawsuit: Lena Dunham has threatened to sue the website Truth Revolt for millions of dollars after they accused her of being a sexual abuser last week . Lena Dunham is now threatening to sue the right-wing website which last week published an article claiming she sexually abused her little sister when they were children. The claim is based on an excerpt from the Girls star and creator's new book, Not That Kind of Girl, and details how she once looked at her sister Grace's vagina when her sibling was a year old and she was seven. Lena defended the action as innocent childhood exploration based on curiosity, but the website Truth Revolt called the memory 'unsettling' and 'disturbing'. Since then, she has been in a war of words with the site, which refused to take down or apologize for their piece titled 'Lena Dunham Describes Sexually Abusing Her Little Sister'. On Tuesday, the website claimed that the actress was threatening to sue them and that was confirmed today when The Hollywood Reporter published the full cease and desist letter written by Lena's lawyers. In the letter, attorney Charles Harder calls the Truth Revolt article 'completely false and fabricated, and highly defamatory of' his client. He goes on to demand the website take the article down and apologize for it, or else face a multi-million dollar lawsuit. If they don't follow instructions to take the article down, Harder says Lena will 'vigorously pursue all legal remedies'. The website adamantly declined, and editor Ben Shapiro wrote another article on Tuesday explaining why they would not heed to the demands of Lena's lawyers. 'We refuse. We refuse to withdraw our story or apologize for running it, because quoting a woman’s book does not constitute a “false” story, even if she is a prominent actress and left-wing activist. 'Lena Dunham may not like our interpretation of her book, but unfortunately for her and her attorneys, she wrote that book – and the First Amendment covers a good deal of material she may not like, the article reads. Scroll down for video . Allegations: In a story published last week, Truth Revolt writes that Lena (right) sexually abused her little sister Grace (left) when they were children. The claim is based on a personal essay included in Lena's new book . The passage that Truth Revolt excerpted details a conversation that then 7-year-old Lena had with her mother, famed artist Laurie Simmons, about women's organs. In the course of the conversation, young Lena asks her mother if little sister Grace's vagina looks like hers. 'I guess so, Just smaller,' her mother responds . 'One day, as I sat in our driveway in Long Island playing with blocks and buckets, my curiosity got the best of me,' Dunham writes . Memory: In Not That Kind of Girl, Lena writes about looking at her then 1-year-old sister Grace's vagina out of curiosity after talking with their mother about the female reproductive system. Lena was seven at the time. Grace Dunham pictured at a film screening last June . 'Grace was sitting up, babbling and smiling, and I leaned down between her legs and carefully spread open her vagina. She didn’t resist and when I saw what was inside I shrieked. 'My mother came running. “Mama, Mama! Grace has something in there!” 'My mother didn’t bother asking why I had opened Grace’s vagina. This was within the spectrum of things I did. 'She just got on her knees and looked for herself. It quickly became apparent that Grace had stuffed six or seven pebbles in there. My mother removed them patiently while Grace cackled, thrilled that her prank had been a success.' It was also in the book that Lena described coaxing her sister for affection. 'As [Grace] grew, I took to bribing her for her time and affection: one dollar in quarters if I could do her makeup like a 'motorcycle chick.' Three pieces of candy if I could kiss her on the lips for five seconds. 'Whatever she wanted to watch on TV if she would just 'relax on me.' Basically, anything a sexual predator might to do woo a small suburban girl I was trying.' Truth Revolt  called this passages 'unsettling' and 'disturbing' in an article titled 'Lena Dunham Describes Sexually Abusing Her Little Sister' The article reads: 'Lena Dunham describes experimenting sexually with her younger sister Grace, whom she says she attempted to persuade to kiss her using “anything a sexual predator might do.” In one particularly unsettling passage, Dunham experimented with her six-year younger sister’s vagina.' They also originally wrote that Dunham was 17 at the time of the incident, and later added a correction saying 'This article has been modified to correct a typo in the book excerpt incorrectly listing Dunham's age as seventeen'. Lena initially addressed the claims in a Twitter rant over the weekend, and spoke out against the story again on Tuesday with a statement to Time magazine, writing how she was 'dispayed' with the interpretation of the story. 'First and foremost, I want to be very clear that I do not condone any kind of abuse under any circumstances. 'Childhood sexual abuse is a life-shattering event for so many, and I have been vocal about the rights of survivors. 'If the situations described in my book have been painful or triggering for people to read, I am sorry, as that was never my intention. 'I am also aware that the comic use of the term “sexual predator” was insensitive, and I’m sorry for that as well,' Lena writes, adding that her sister is her best friend and supported her publishing the childhood memory in her book. In the wake of the allegations, Lena has cancelled two stops on her book tour scheduled this week in Belgium and Germany claiming she is having health issues. On Monday,  she tweeted that she was 'deeply sorry' to miss the Antwerp Book Fair and a signing in Berlin, adding that she's 'so grateful for your energy and support'. Sibling support: Grace Dunham has spoken out to defend her sister's story and her right to write about childhood memories. The sisters pictured above in London on October 29, promoting Lena's new book . The website has refused to apologize for the article. Do you find anything wrong with Lena Dunham's childhood actions? Do you find anything wrong with Lena Dunham's childhood actions? Now share your opinion . 'If Ms. Dunham says that our quotations from her book were “false,” or that our interpretation of those events was libelous under the law, then we look forward to asking her, in her deposition, about why they appeared in her book,' editor Ben Shapiro wrote on Tuesday. 'We also look forward to asking her why she believes it is now appropriate for a 28-year-old woman to make light of opening her baby sister’s vagina, paying her with candies for prolonged kisses on the lips in the manner of a “sexual predator,” or masturbating in bed next to her prepubescent sister,' he added. Grace Dunham also appears to have responded to the allegations in her own Twitter rant on Monday, writing vaguely about heternormativity and what is and is not considered 'normal' behavior. Grace writes that she supports writers 'narrating their own experiences, determining for themselves what has and has not been harmful'. She also posted: '2day, like every other day, is a good day to think about how we police the sexualities of young women, queer, and trans people.' While the tweets seem to address the criticism of her sister's essay, they do not directly come out and support the personal story that her sister shared with the world. The sisters appear to have a difference of opinion on the Truth Revolt article, according to one tweet Lena wrote on Saturday. 'Sometimes I get so mad I burn write up. Also, I wish my sister wasn't laughing so hard,' Dunham tweeted on November 1.
A legal letter leaked Wednesday, shows that Lena Dunham is planning to sue the website Truth Revolt for accusing her of molestation . Last week, the website used an excerpt of Lena's new book as evidence she sexually abused sister Grace when they were just children . In the essay, Lena describes being seven years old and looking at her then year-old sister's vagina out of curiosity . The creator and star of HBO's Girls cancelled two book tour stops in Germany and Belgium on Monday for 'health issues'

San Diego (CNN) -- Now that we have Sonia Sotomayor, a Latina, on the Supreme Court, the esteemed body will soon find itself in the middle of a telenovela. The storyline involves the contentious issue of affirmative action, which is central to Fisher vs. University of Texas, a case that is scheduled to come before the court this fall. It will cast a spotlight on two of the court's justices: Sonia Sotomayor and Samuel Alito. Affirmative action seems to be intensely personal to both of them, though for very different reasons. First, let's take a minute to note just how similar Alito and Sotomayor are in terms of their background. Both are baby boomers, born just a few years apart. Alito is 61 years old and Sotomayor is 57. They grew up in neighboring states. Alito is from New Jersey and Sotomayor is from New York. Both came from ethnic, working-class families. Alito's parents were teachers, Sotomayor's father was a tool-and-die worker and her mother was a telephone operator. Finally, both went to Princeton University and Yale Law School, where both served as editors of the Yale Law Journal. Given all those similarities, what could these two Supreme Court justices possibly have to argue about? Affirmative action. That's what. Will the Supreme Court strike down affirmative action? Alito has highlighted in a 1985 job application for promotion to officials in the Justice Department of the Reagan administration that he belonged to a group called Concerned Alumni of Princeton. And what were the Princeton alumni so concerned about? Why, that there were supposedly too many women and minorities being admitted to the prestigious but predominantly white institution. Sotomayor has said that she is a "product of affirmative action" and the "perfect affirmative action baby." Although she graduated with honors from both Princeton and Yale Law School, she admitted that her test scores "were not comparable" to her classmates at both schools. Now imagine how these two justices will weigh in on the case of Fisher v. University of Texas. This is not the first time that the University of Texas at Austin has found itself in the eye of a storm because of its admissions policies. In the 1990s, Cheryl Hopwood successfully sued the law school at UT for its affirmative action program. In an attempt to preserve diversity gains, the Texas Legislature passed the "10 percent rule," which required public universities in the state to admit students from the top 10 percent of the graduating class of every Texas high school. The idea was that ethnic diversity can be achieved without explicitly considering the race factor. But, in 2003, after the Supreme Court gave public colleges and universities the green light to take race into account as a factor in admissions, the University of Texas revised its policies accordingly to admit students who didn't make it into the top 10 percent. This is the policy now being challenged. Abigail Fisher and Rachel Michalewicz, two white students who didn't get into the University of Texas as undergraduates in 2008, claim that it was their race that kept them out, since minority students who they considered less qualified were admitted. Were there no other white students admitted to the University of Texas that year? We can assume there were, and so the idea that it was the plaintiffs' race that kept them out is questionable. Even so, commentators who follow the Supreme Court closely are predicting that the case will deliver a death blow to affirmative action for public colleges and universities. There are at least five justices who will probably oppose racial preferences, including Alito. Meanwhile, the dissenters are likely to include Sotomayor. Don't be surprised if her dissent in this case will contain a tone that is unmistakably personal. Maybe Sotomayor will reflect on Thurgood Marshall's dissent in the landmark 1978 Supreme Court case, Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, which also involved a challenge to race-based admissions. In that case, a majority of the justices agreed that Allan Bakke, a 32-year-old white male, should have been admitted to the University of California Davis Medical School. Bakke had been denied admission, he claimed, because of a special program that set aside for African-Americans 16 of the 100 seats in the entering class. Marshall -- who was the only African-American justice on the Court and probably the only one who ever experienced racial discrimination firsthand -- did not agree that Bakke should have been admitted, and he wrote a powerful dissent that none of his white colleagues could have written. It is at moments like this -- when more women and minorities are in places of power and influence -- that we see the payoff of affirmative action and other efforts to expand educational and professional opportunities for all Americans. We're all human. We view controversial issues with our heart, as much as with our head. We see them through a lens shaped by personal experiences. As a Mexican-American graduate of an Ivy League university, here is what my lens tells me. Part of what Alito and the other Princeton alumni were really concerned about was that -- if something wasn't done to keep women and minorities out of prestigious colleges and universities -- one day, white males may have to deal with them as equals. Watch how Sotomayor handles this case about affirmative action, and you'll see: That day is here. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Ruben Navarrette Jr.

Louis van Gaal has been telling Manchester United's players to think of beating Stoke City while they are in bed. United will make it eight wins from 10 matches on Thursday if they beat Stoke at the Britannia Stadium. The idea of travelling to Staffordshire for a lunch-time kick-off on New Year's Day may not appeal to many people - particularly those who enjoyed a heavy night seeing in the new year. Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal wants his players to 'dream' before Stoke City clash . Wayne Rooney has flourished in a number of roles under the Dutchman since his arrival . But Van Gaal is relishing the opportunity of gaining ground on Manchester City and Chelsea, who play Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur respectively later in the day. The Dutchman took little notice of Chelsea and City's slip-ups last weekend - United themselves failed to take advantage as they drew at Spurs - and the Dutchman insists only his players will decide whether they become genuine title contenders in the coming weeks. 'You have to always do it by yourself and not depend on results of the opponent,' the United manager said. 'You have to be busy with yourself, with your preparation, and the imagination of the game. 'All the players have to do that - dream of the game already, you have to play the game already in your bed.' Van Gaal takes his United side to the Britannia Stadium to face Stoke City on New Year's Day . Although United sit in third position after a nine-match unbeaten run, Van Gaal is yet to see a completely satisfactory performance from his team. The 3-1 win Boxing Day win over Newcastle United had the hallmarks of a victory from the Sir Alex Ferguson era, but Van Gaal was still not totally happy. Van Gaal is so demanding that he says he has enjoyed just a single 'perfect' performance from one of his teams during his 27-year career. And that came 20 years ago when he coached an Ajax team containing the likes of Edwin van der Saar, Edgar Davids and a 19-year-old Patrick Kluivert to a 2-0 Champions League win at Real Madrid. 'That was a perfect game - the only one in my eyes,' Van Gaal said. Robin van Persie (battling with Hugo Lloris) has found himself in among the goals again . 'I have not achieved that with Manchester United.' The fact that United dropped points at Spurs thanks to Hugo Lloris' brilliance, and at Villa Park, where the hosts played the final 25 minutes with 10 men, still rankles with Van Gaal. 'In the last three games - Aston Villa, Newcastle, Tottenham - we should have had nine points,' the former Barcelona manager said. 'Then, we would (have) four more points and we would be only six points (behind Chelsea).' Reflecting on his first five months in England, Van Gaal said he had been taken aback by the support he had received from United fans despite the club's stuttering start. 'I have never had the experience that when you lose or draw at home that the fans still applaud you, showing their belief in you. Never,' Van Gaal said. 'In Barcelona, (they wave) white handkerchiefs. In Bayern, they whistle. In Amsterdam, Ajax, they are shouting for someone else. United are also beginning to see the best of Colombian striker Radamel Falcao . 'Here, they stand up, and applaud. Unbelievable. That's why I'm thanking the fans because they were very important in my first six months.' Adnan Januzaj and Ander Herrera could return from illness and injury respectively for the Stoke match and Angel di Maria may feature after Van Gaal played down the seriousness of a pelvic injury. 'He's coming back. It's not serious,' Van Gaal said. Chelsea's Eden Hazard was subjected to a rash challenge by Phil Bardsley when the Blues went to Stoke last week, but Van Gaal is sure the officials will not let Thursday's match turn ugly. The United manager added: 'I think the referee is the most important man on the pitch always in relation to tackles. 'He has to allow it or not. We have Michael Oliver and I think he is a very good referee.' Van Gaal moved to praise referee Michael Oliver, who will take charge of the game at Stoke .

You only had to look at the difference in Alastair Cook’s reaction at the end of this Test and at the end of the Lord’s game to realise how much winning Test matches for England matters to him. This win, and the fact he got runs, will be a massive weight off Cook’s shoulders. It is impossible to understand the pressure you are under as England captain unless you have been there. When things are not going well you feel as if everyone is against you and, while it might be possible to escape the limelight between matches, you still have to do the day-to-day things and you feel as if you’re letting people down. Cheshire grin: Alastair Cook cut a far happier figure after England defeated India in the third Test . They think it's all over... Alastair Cook and Jos Buttler (R) celebrate after victory is confirmed . You feel like people are looking at you and talking about your captaincy or how badly you’re batting. Not contributing to the team is the thing that hurts the most as  captain. It was when I went through some of my darkest moments — walking down a hotel corridor in Sri Lanka,  knocking on Michael Atherton’s door and asking if I should stay on as captain. It’s a horrible place to be. As captain it’s very rare that you are scoring runs personally and the team is winning. That means there is almost always a downside after a match and that is why Cook should relish this moment, because he’s had the double whammy of losing games and not getting runs. Keep calm and carry on: When Alistair Cook is batting well the the rest will follow . In a spin: Moeen Ali inspired England to victory by unexpectedly taking six wickets . VIDEO My best day - Moeen . We are all human and want to be liked, so the reception he got when he was batting will have given Alastair an enormous confidence boost. It is abundantly clear the England cricketing public want him to succeed. I am still of the view that the most important thing for England is Cook the batsman. A lot of things will fall into place, including maybe his  captaincy, if Cook is getting runs. It was a brave decision for him to have a bat on a pitch with a little bit of grass on it here. But it was the right decision and he went in with a clear mind and deserved the luck he got at the start of his innings. Patriot games: The victory at the Aegeas Bowl obviously meant a lot to England's captain . When Cook is batting, everything is calm and comfortable. It is the most important thing for  England and it transfers into his captaincy. I thought he had an excellent game as captain. Virtually every move he made paid off and tactically he was very good. He learned from mistakes and set some very good fields. The way he used Moeen Ali showed he is building trust and that is paying off. The fundamental point, though, is that the England team will be better off when he is scoring runs consistently, not sporadically, and the management must decide if he can be that batsman while he is captain or whether at some point someone else has to do that.
England defeated India in the third Test to level the Series . Alastair Cook answered his critics after a week of scrutiny . If England's captain is scoring runs then the rest of his game follows .

(CNN) -- Pope Benedict XVI called for peace amid ongoing conflicts in Africa and the Middle East and mentioned the plight of those in Japan during his annual Easter message Sunday. The pope singled out Libya, saying, "may diplomacy and dialogue take the place of arms and may those who suffer as a result of the conflict be given access to humanitarian aid." Forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi have been battling rebels for control of parts of Libya ever since protests erupted in the country in February. Demonstrators first rallied against high unemployment and a delay in a government housing project, but they eventually called for an end to Gadhafi's four decades in power -- a protest that erupted into war. The pope also urged the restoration of "peaceful coexistence" in Ivory Coast, where a long-running political stalemate led to violence that forced nearly a million people into the main city of Abidjan and left hundreds dead, according to aid groups. The standoff only recently ended after President Alassane Ouattrara assumed power. The former president, Laurent Gbagbo, had refused to step down after he lost the election last year. "There is an urgent need to tread the path of reconciliation and pardon in order to heal the deep wounds caused by the recent violence," the pope said in reference to the West African nation. "In the countries of northern Africa and the Middle East, may all citizens, especially young people, work to promote the common good and to build a society where poverty is defeated and every political choice is inspired by respect for the human person," the pope said. "May help come from all sides to those fleeing conflict and to refugees from various African countries who have been obliged to leave all that is dear to them; may people of good will open their hearts to welcome them, so that the pressing needs of so many brothers and sisters will be met with a concerted response in a spirit of solidarity; and may our words of comfort and appreciation reach all those who make such generous efforts and offer an exemplary witness in this regard." Finally, the pope said he hoped Japan would find "consolation and hope" in the aftermath of the March earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis, "along with other countries that in recent months have been tested by natural disasters which have sown pain and anguish."

Cairo (CNN) -- Armed men and vendors attacked protesters in Tahrir Square on Sunday as clashes continued for hours, leaving many injured. "The vendors always existed in Tahrir, but today around 6 p.m. they joined dozens of armed men in plainclothes who attacked us with swords, sticks and threw cooking gas canisters at our tents in the center of the square," said Kareem El Agami, a protester living in the tents since the sit-in started on June 28. The protesters fought back with rocks and sticks as the clashes turned bloody. Ambulances sped into the square to treat dozens of people injured. Two women suffered major cuts to their scalps. High-ranking police officers in uniform were seen at the entrance of the Egyptian museum several meters away from the Tahrir Square enclosure. "We were moving our tents away from the center square toward the Mugama Tahrir government building when these men attacked us brutally. They were thugs sent by the police to disperse our sit-in," said Islam Ismael. His tent is now set outside the government building's garden. Dr. Adel Aldawi, an official spokesman from the ministry of health, said he dispatched 14 ambulances to the scene. "So far 20 people were critically injured and transferred to the hospital while 27 were treated on the scene," he said. Panic continued after the clashes ended as many witnesses who have been sleeping in the square accused the police of sparking the attack. "We caught a low-ranking policeman in plainclothes among the attackers and checked his identification, then handed him to the military police outside the Ministry of Interior," said Dr. Yehia Abdel Shafie, a protester who was surrounded by eyewitnesses who confirmed the story. "The policeman has been lurking around the square since we started our sit-in on June 28 and we noticed him trying to push in men between us to gather information. Today we actually saw him join the attackers and guide them toward our tents, " Ismael told CNN. Dozens of people are continuing their sit-in at Tahrir Square in a cautious atmosphere. They are using ropes to surround their tents to keep street vendors and thugs away. Young men are directing traffic in the square and its side streets because the police are not present. The army deployed hundreds of troops with armored vehicles onto the streets Wednesday to protect the Ministry of the Interior after the police were forced to withdraw from Tahrir Square when anti-government protests raged. Many Egyptians are angry at the slow pace of change since President Hosni Mubarak resigned on February 11 after protests. A group called the January 25 Coalition issued a range of demands Wednesday, one day after the latest demonstrations began. They called for the "speedy trial of snipers and killers of protesters, the removal of Cairo's head of security and the official spokesman of the Ministry of Interior" and "an immediate investigation in the events of last night." The group, named for the day anti-government protests began this year, also called for the release of detainees held overnight and the "immediate expulsion of security officers who continue to butcher and kill Egyptian people." The military-led government that took over when Mubarak resigned has been prosecuting several former officials accused of ordering security forces to fire on protesters. A police officer accused of killing 20 protesters during a January 28 demonstration has been sentenced to death. Former Interior Minister Habib El Adly has been sentenced to 12 years for corruption charges but still awaits the verdict for the charge of killing protesters. Mubarak is scheduled to face the Cairo Criminal Court on August 3 on charges of corruption and deaths of protesters, the justice department said Wednesday. Egypt's military rulers have set parliamentary elections for September. Protests have continued in the months since Mubarak's ouster as Egyptians have demanded speedier reforms and economic improvements. Street vendors on mobile carts that sell tea, corn, fresh juice, sandwiches among other products have been present in Tahrir Square for months during the revolution. The same activists that led the protests on January 25 that ousted Mubarak have called for a massive protest Friday, which has been labeled the "second revolution." The organizers have announced that no street vendors may be present for next week's protests and national ID cards will be required for entrance to the square.

Johannesburg (CNN) -- Police in Rustenberg, South Africa, clashed Tuesday with more than 1,000 striking miners who were barricading public roads near the Anglo American Platinum mine. Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the protesters, and sporadic scuffles continue, Capt. Dennis Adrio with the North West police told CNN. What's behind South Africa's mine violence? Police and firefighters responded after a power substation on Anglo American Platinum's property was set on fire at 4 a.m., Adrio said. Tuesday's clashes continued a wave of wildcat strikes and violent confrontations that has wracked the country's mining sector for more than two months, the worst labor unrest since the end of apartheid. Anglo-American Platinum fired about 12,000 striking workers who refused to attend disciplinary hearings earlier this month after a three-week walkout. Another company, Gold Fields Limited, fired 8,100 striking workers last week after they did not return to work. Some 15,000 workers at the company's KDC East mine, near Johannesburg, had gone on strike to seek higher pay, as have workers at several other South Africa mines.

Repeated clashes have occurred since police opened fire on strikers Lonmin's Marikana platinum mine in August, killing 34 workers and wounding dozens more.

A voice on the intercom woke Danielle Miller and told her to put on her life jacket and run to a deck. Not knowing what the emergency was, she nervously woke up her roommate and did just that. The emergency, as she and other passengers would learn, was a fire that started in the rear of Royal Caribbean's Grandeur of the Seas cruise ship about 2:50 a.m. Monday while it was heading to the Bahamas, sending guests to the decks under the night sky. Though it never lost power, the ship was diverted to Freeport in the Bahamas, and the fire, which began in a mooring area, was extinguished just before 5 a.m., the company said. The ship's 2,224 guests and 796 crew members initially were headed to CocoCay, Bahamas, but the ship was redirected to Freeport for evaluation, Royal Caribbean said. Miller said it was a scary race topside. "We probably ran up to that deck faster than we ever ran before," Miller said by phone from Freeport on Monday afternoon, a few hours after the ship docked. "We were terrified, though, and a lot of people were just crying and freaking out." Two guests were treated after fainting, and medical staff also responded to reports of high blood pressure and an ankle sprain, Royal Caribbean said. Five things we've learned about cruising . Royal Caribbean spokeswoman Cynthia Martinez said she didn't have further information about the medical reports, "but the ship has told us that there are no medical emergencies onboard." The fire started on an aft mooring deck and spread to the fourth deck at the crew lounge area before it was extinguished, U.S. Coast Guard spokeswoman Marilyn Fajardo said. Information on the fire's cause wasn't available, she said. Miller and the rest of the passengers will be flying home from Freeport because the company canceled the rest of the voyage Monday afternoon. Royal Caribbean said it was arranging flights to get passengers back to Baltimore, where the ship left port on Friday on a seven-night cruise. The first flight carrying cruise guests from the Bahamas left Tuesday morning, and flights will continue throughout the day, Royal Caribbean said. All passengers will receive refunds for this cruise and a certificate toward a future cruise, Royal Caribbean said. The company apologized for the stress to passengers and thanked them for their "patience and cooperation in dealing with this unfortunate situation." After a bad cruise, can you cruise into court? Cruise goers will miss scheduled port calls at CocoCay and Nassau in the Bahamas. CocoCay is Royal Caribbean's "private island paradise" in the Bahamas, according to its website. Video captured by Miller and her friend, Katie Coleman, shows guests gathered on a deck, seemingly calm, wearing orange life jackets and listening to instructions.

The company's president and CEO, Adam Goldstein, and other officials with Miami-based Royal Caribbean headed to Freeport on Monday morning to meet guests, she said. Two U.S. Coast Guard cutters escorted the Bahamian-flagged cruise ship to Freeport, the Coast Guard said. The service said that it, the National Transportation Safety Board and Bahamian officials would conduct a joint investigation to determine the fire's cause. Miller said she didn't know initially why guests were being gathered on deck. "Before we went to bed, there was a pretty bad storm, and the ship was really rocking, so our first thought was that we were sinking, because they said 'life jackets' and run," Miller said. "We got up to the deck, and we see the lifeboats being lowered down. ... We didn't know what was going on for about a half-hour, when they made an announcement that there was a fire." Spate of fires poses problems for cruise industry . She said the crew handled the situation well. "Even though it was terrifying, they tried their best to make everyone comfortable.

(CNN) -- A major Defense Department contractor has ordered its employees in Iraq to turn in their personal cell phones because "of a safety and security concern." KBR says, "Any individual using a personal cell phone will be disciplined." Houston, Texas-based KBR Inc., formerly Kellogg Brown & Root, issued a statement saying the company had sent a message with the order to its Iraq employees, but it did not explain the concern that prompted it. "The matter giving rise to this message is still being reviewed by KBR management, so the company will not provide further comment at this time," the statement said. According to an e-mail obtained by CNN, the company issued the order to all KBR employees in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait -- although in its communications with CNN, the company specified only Iraq. In the e-mail, employees are ordered to stop using their cell phones as of 8 a.m. Saturday and turn them in to the company's human resources department. "Any individual using a personal cell phone will be disciplined," the e-mail says. "Termination is an option of discipline. The cell phone will be confiscated." According to the e-mail, employees will be given a receipt when they turn in their phones, which will be returned to them "when the individual departs the site." Haris Memisevic, the KBR quality manager in Afghanistan who forwarded the e-mail to some employees, said he could not discuss the matter and referred calls to KBR's legal department. A KBR employee, who asked to remain anonymous, said he was "not aware of any security breaches involving the use of cell phones" and that employees were not given any reason for the order. He said he has no plans to comply and believes his personal security would be at risk without his cell phone. "KBR has a communication system, but as with any system it does fail and we can only communicate with another installation by use of the cell phones," he said. "We pay for this use with our own funds." Some corporate employees have company-provided cell phones, he said, but at his location there is only one company-provided phone for use if the communication system fails. He said the U.S. Army confiscates cell phones from Afghans who work at military installations and returns them when they finish their daily duties. An Army spokesman told CNN on Saturday that the order is strictly a KBR initiative.

(CNN) -- Conflict and hardship have long made Goma a difficult place to live in, but one woman has set out to change that -- and she's using soft croissants and fresh coffee. When Vanessa Jados opened the "Au Bon Pain" bakery in May, she brought something new to the residents of the town in the far east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Six months on, she is showing no signs of shutting up shop. "Goma is my home," says Jados, 27. "I am very proud of Goma. It's the most beautiful part of Democratic Republic of Congo, and people here need fresh bread just like people in Europe." Nestled between a mountainous national park and a freshwater lake, Goma sounds like the ideal setting for a holiday and the perfect place for a bakery. But the determined entrepreneur has had to overcome electricity, supply and staffing problems to make her dream a reality. Goma's troubles . Born in Goma, Jados was sent by her parents to study in Belgium at the age of 12. "I had been to Belgium once before with my family, but that time it was just me and my two sisters," she recalls. "Leaving my parents behind was tough." Jados wasn't to return home for 11 years. During her absence, Goma felt the horrific effects of the 1994 genocide in neighboring Rwanda as refugees fled across the nearby border. By the end of the 1990s an armed rebel movement called RCD-Goma were running the town, and Human Rights Watch says the group forcibly recruited child soldiers to wage war in the politically unstable region where Uganda, Rwanda and the DRC meet. As the armed conflict rumbled on in January 2002, molten lava spewed out of the nearby Mount Nyiragongo and quickly spread to the town. Approximately 400,000 people were forced to flee and a third of the city was destroyed by the flames. Goma's residents began to rebuild the town after the natural disaster, but the M23 rebel group briefly occupied it in 2012 and waged war with Congolese armed forces. Human Rights Watch documented summary executions as well as numerous cases of violent sexual abuse. Business beginnings . Returning to Goma at 23, Jados saw a very different place to the town she had left. High quality food products were in short supply, as were clean water and electricity. The challenges didn't stop her from focusing on her goal of establishing the first high-end bakery in town. "Two years before I opened the doors I started raising money," she explains. "I needed to get an oven and mixing machine from Italy." Another essential ingredient she couldn't find locally was a skilled baker, so she convinced a baker from the French town of Toulouse to move to Goma. "Young people in Goma aren't well trained or educated," she says. "I want to help young people learn new skills so the baker is training a Congolese baker and a woman who makes cakes." Jados continues: "Congolose people are very nice and always smiling. Their current difficulties aren't as bad as they were during the war, so people are very happy. They really want to learn new skills and are very happy to learn from the French baker." While she can't run her business without materials from abroad, like brown flour and chocolate, Jados uses local products where she can. "I can find white flour in Goma," she explains. "And the butter I use comes from my family's farm about an hour away. The butter isn't sold in shops, but they produce enough for the bakery." Heavenly croissants . Like the materials she uses, the customers Jados serves are a mixture of local and foreign. Having experienced such hardship, Goma has become a center for NGOs and charities in the region. The continued presence of expats has impacted the local economy and caused some price hikes for certain services like hotels and drivers. "In the beginning, most of the customers were expats," Jados recognizes. "But more Congolese people are coming these days -- they like the fresh bread and the birthday cakes as well." For an expat aid worker living in Goma, "Au Bon Pain" is a "godsend." She says: "It's literally the only place in town to get good croissants, tasty sandwiches and genuinely good bread...The only thing they need to improve is the slow service -- if they find a way to make it speedy and efficient, the place will be pretty much perfect." But not all the issues the aid-workers have come to help resolve are fixed. "It's hard to set up something that's got good foundations," Jados says. "It is difficult. There's lots of tax which makes things expensive. The electricity always cuts out, so I had to buy a big generator which was expensive and [it] also uses fuel which is very expensive. Water is also a problem." And if these issues weren't enough, as well as a full-time business owner, Jados is a full-time mum of two. "I was pregnant when I was setting up the bakery," she says. "I now have a three month year old daughter, and I have to care for her too." Despite her heavy workload, Jados is resolute that she's doing the right thing. "We can never be sure the war won't start again," she says. "We don't know, but we must continue. We must do the schools, the hospitals, the restaurants. We have to keep a positive mindset and make sure Congolese people don't go to Europe. Local people need to stay here and create a better Congo."

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Fantasy author Terry Pratchett has admitted that he has been diagnosed with a rare form of Alzheimer's disease -- but says he plans to continue writing his multi-million selling Discworld books. Terry Pratchett, whose books have sold more than 45 million copies worldwide in 33 languages. Pratchett, 59 -- whose books have, according to his Web site, sold more than 45 million copies worldwide in 33 languages -- suffered what he called a "phantom stroke" earlier this year. In a statement titled "an embuggerance" on the Web site of Discworld illustrator Paul Kidby, Pratchett says that he has been diagnosed with what he terms "a very rare form of early onset Alzheimer's." "I would have liked to keep this one quiet for a little while, but because of upcoming conventions and of course the need to keep my publishers informed, it seems to me unfair to withhold the news," says Pratchett, who has a strong following among fans of fantasy fiction. "All other things being equal, I expect to meet most current and, as far as possible, future commitments but will discuss things with the various organisers," he continues. "Frankly, I would prefer it if people kept things cheerful, because I think there's time for at least a few more books yet." Pratchett adds that work is continuing on his next book "Nation" and that the "basic notes are already being laid down for Unseen Academicals." In a P.S. he adds that "I would just like to draw attention to everyone reading the above that this should be interpreted as 'I am not dead'. I will, of course, be dead at some future point, as will everybody else. "I know it's a very human thing to say 'Is there anything I can do', but in this case I would only entertain offers from very high-end experts in brain chemistry." Pratchett's Discworld novels, of which 36 have been published to date, are set in a fantasy universe through which the author satirizes modern-day life. He says in a statement on his own Web site that the series "started out as a parody of all the fantasy that was around in the big boom of the early '80s, then turned into a satire on just about everything, and even I don't know what it is now." Pratchett, who began writing while a provincial newspaper journalist in the 1960s, received the Order of the British Empire "for services to literature" from the Prince of Wales in 1998.

Cairo (CNN) -- It was a welcome more suited for a rock star than a wanted man. A mob of cheering fans surrounded Egypt's high court on Sunday, chanting Bassem Youssef's name. Two years ago, Youssef was a heart surgeon producing satirical YouTube videos from inside his Cairo apartment. Now, he's one of Egypt's best-known television personalities, with a nationally broadcast program that has drawn comparisons to Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" for its irreverent take on Egyptian politics. But the popularity he won by pushing the boundaries of free speech comes with a price. Egypt's public prosecutor summoned Youssef for questioning on Sunday, accusing him of insulting President Mohamed Morsy and Islam. He was released on $2,200 bail in response to three lawsuits filed against him, the prosecutor general's office told CNN. Youssef's satirical commentary didn't stop during his questioning on Sunday. The blue-eyed comedian offered a steady stream of Twitter posts about the experience. He mocked officers recording his physical description for asking him his eye color as he stood in front of them. He poked fun at the prosecutor's office, tweeting that officials could not find a laptop to see episodes from his show. "A policeman and a lawyer from the General Prosecutors Office want to take their pictures with (me). Could this be the reason I was summoned?" he wrote. The prosecutor has said Youssef's weekly show is insulting not just to the president but to Islam itself. In recent days, some lawyers filed complaints on behalf of Egyptians making those allegations. But the prosecutor has provided no details, and Youssef is a practicing Muslim. It is a crime in Egypt to insult any religion. In December, Youssef said that he thought Morsy and other Egyptian politicians were accepting his show, "Al Bernameg" ("The Program"). "I think this is actually the best time to have a political satire program in Egypt," he told CNN's Christiane Amanpour. "Basically we are the drama queen of the world, with everything happening. We're kind of the international political soap opera," he said. "So it's a great time and era to have a political satire to comment on everything that's happening." But he noted that some Egyptians had accused him of being anti-Islam. "I'm proud to be an Egyptian and a Muslim," he told Amanpour. "My mom is always concerned every time I go on TV. She's afraid that I'm going to be caught and put in prison. But you know, that's what moms do. But I satirize. The way it goes down with people, many are actually accepting it. And actually, it's empowering a lot of people that they think that this speaks on their behalf." Recently some people critical of Morsy's government have been arrested or brought in for questioning, a tactic critics have said is reminiscent of the ousted Hosni Mubarak government. Some have accused the government of trying to stifle free speech. "Pathetic efforts to smother dissent and intimidate media is a sign of a shaky regime and a bunker mentality," Mohamed ElBaradei, an Egyptian opposition leader and former director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, wrote in a Twitter post Saturday. In January, Morsy told CNN he was committed to allowing free speech in his country. Social media helped propel Youssef to fame, and social media posts swelled in support of him Sunday. But after he was released on bail, the TV host offered a more serious message to his 1.2 million Twitter followers: "Touched by people's support and media attention, however, there are many more activists being prosecuted that deserve to get that support." CNN's Ian Lee reported from Cairo. CNN's Amir Ahmed reported from Atlanta. CNN's Salma Abdelaziz and Neda Farshbaf and journalist Adam Makary contributed to this report.

From Mrs Patmore to Lady Sybil, these barking mad illustrations show the animal side of Downton Abbey's most-loved characters. The art works entitled 'Houndton Tabby', were designed by illustrator and artist Kim Parkhurst, 39, after she combined her love of drawing and Downton Abbey. 'I've been painting portraits of animals in historical costume for some time,' explains the New Yorker. Very paw-sh: Downton Abbey's Lady Mary Crawley, played by Michelle Dockery, trades places with this Borzoi . Doppelganger: Jim Carter as Mr Carson in ITV's Downton Abbey (left) and (right) Kim Pankhurst's animal recreation of him using a clumber spaniel . 'I've taken some familiar and beloved characters whose demeanour, personality, and appearance seemed to translate to certain breeds of dog or cat. 'I got to thinking about Mr Bates' character and storyline, and Brendan Coyle's facial structure, and how he could look hard but also had the warmest, kindest eyes. 'In all those ways, the character reminded me very much of the much-maligned, often misunderstood pit bull dogs that fill animal shelters. 'So, I wondered if I could paint a portrait of a character, but with a realistic dog, and make it recognisable. A Dalmatian replaced Downton Abbey's Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham, played by Elizabeth McGovern . Downton Abbey actor Brendan Coyle as Bates (left) and a dog (right) 'I was pleased with the result, so I tried my hand at more characters. As I worked on one, ideas for others would come. 'By the time season three of Downton aired, me and my husband were hooked, so it was relativity easy to pick out characters.' Painted digitally using just a drawing tablet connected to the computer, one work alone can take Mrs Parkhurst up to 20 hours to complete. The artist said: 'People seem to find them delightful if they're fans of the show. My best moment was when I was speaking with a woman at an art festival. Maggie Smith as Violet Crawley (left), Dowager Countess of Grantham and the widow of the late Earl of Grantham, and (right) a Sphynx cat . 'As she was talking, her gaze focused past my shoulder and she trailed off speaking for a moment and then said, 'That cat looks like Maggie Smith.' 'She hadn't seen Downton Abbey, but she had seen the Harry Potter films, and she recognised the sphynx cat as Maggie Smith's character. 'It was all I could do not to hug her.

'People keep asking why I haven't drawn Mrs. Hughes, or Lord Grantham, or Branson. 'Mrs Hughes didn't bring any animal pictures to mind and I left her out, instead of trying to shoehorn her into something just to tick a box. 'Lord Grantham would have to have been his own yellow Labrador, But if I did that, I would have felt compelled to draw Isis somehow, and that got into weird Goofy-and-Pluto-are-both-dogs territory. 'As for Branson, I would have happily drawn him, but the pajama pants were simultaneously the most intriguing but the most inappropriate.'

(CNN) -- Former Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova, who has been battling cancer, has died at the age of 45. "FC Barcelona is in immense mourning," the Spanish club said in a statement. "Tito Vilanova has died at the age of 45. May he rest in peace." Vilanova, who had first been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor of the throat in November 2011, stepped down as Barcelona coach in July 2013. He succeeded Pep Guardiola, who is now Bayern Munich coach, in June 2012 and led the Catalan giants to the Spanish La Liga title during his time in charge of the team. Following the announcement of Vilanova's death, Barcelona said it would open an area of condolence in the main grandstand at its Nou Camp stadium. "It will be open to anyone who wishes to express their sympathy and love for the late Tito Vilanova," the club added. "The club wishes to express its most heartfelt sympathy to his family, who are being joined in these moments of mourning by FC Barcelona members and fans all around the world, as well as the rest of the footballing and sporting world." Barcelona also revealed plans for a religious memorial ceremony in the coming days. The club's president Josep Maria Bartomeu said on this Twitter page: "Tito Vilanova was a wonderful person, and will never be forgotten at FC Barcelona. Thank you for everything you taught us. Rest in peace." Barcelona player Cesc Fabregas paid tribute on his Facebook page saying he met Vilanova 14 years ago, adding: "Thank you for always trusting me, to help me improve and overcome personal and professional obstacles." There have been also tributes from the global football community. Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos commented on Twitter that Vilanova was, "An example of fighting and strength for all of us. RIP" Vilanova's appointment after Guardiola's resignation came as something of a surprise to football experts. He was not well known outside Spain but was already a close member of the Barcelona family. He began his footballing career at the Catalan club, signing to the team's junior ranks as a 15-year-old. Unable to break into the Barcelona first team, he left to pursue a career as a midfielder with seven clubs in his native Spain before ending his playing days with Gramenet in 2001. A switch to management followed and Vilanova soon returned to the Nou Camp, eventually becoming Guardiola's assistant coach in 2008 before being named as his successor. In tandem, the pair won three La Liga titles and two European Champions League crowns. Vilanova's Barcelona team, which included star players such as Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta, started the 2012/2013 campaign brilliantly. But just months into his reign, Vilanova took a temporary absence to undergo surgery followed by a course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in New York. He returned in March 2013 to lead Barcelona to the league title which they won 15 points ahead of rivals Real Madrid. Club captain Carles Puyol stepped aside to allow Vilanova and former Barca defender Eric Abidal, who had been diagnosed with a liver tumor, to lift the trophy. A relapse of his condition in July last year saw Vilanova resign as Barcelona coach. He was replaced by Gerardo Martino. The true potential of Vilanova's tenure at Barcelona will now remain unknown.

(CNN)Don't tell the kids, but we've got Santa Claus all wrong. Countless Christmas songs tell us that Santa is basically the Judge Judy of juveniles. He decides who's been naughty or nice, and doles out presents or punishments accordingly. But historians say Kris Kringle was originally created to keep adults, not children, off the naughty list. Being crafty codgers, we ducked Santa's surveillance, turning the spotlight on kids and dramatically changing Christmas celebrations. How did we achieve this very important historical victory? Picture this: It's the early 1800s, and America's Christian leaders -- most of whom were Protestant Reformation-types -- had banned religious celebrations of Christmas as unscriptural and paganish. But people still wanted to party. Because, why not? It was midwinter, the crops were harvested and sailors were waiting for better weather to disembark. So, on December 25, working-class stiffs got fall-down drunk and stumbled around cities looking for stuff to loot. Imagine Black Friday, spring break and New Year's Eve -- then smash them together like sumo wrestlers full of saki. That was Christmas in the early 1800s. A bunch of blue-blood New Yorkers decided all this fun must stop. "They wanted to domesticate Christmas, bring it indoors, and focus it on children," says Gerry Bowler, author of "Santa Claus: A History," and professor of history at the University of Manitoba in Canada. These grinches, who formed the Saint Nicholas Society of New York, would change the world with two little poems. Yep. Poems. But let's back up for a minute. When the Dutch came to the New World in the 1600s, they brought a fellow from folklore named Sinterklaas with them, Bowler says. Sinterklaas, who wore a red bishop's miter and a snowy white beard, was based on St. Nicholas, a 3rd century Greek who lived in modern-day Turkey. Despite being a bishop, this Nick was a bit of a bad boy. An archaeologist who dug up his bones in 2005 found that Nicholas had a broken nose, perhaps a result of the persistent persecution of Christians around that time, said Adam C. English, author of "The Saint Who Would be Santa Claus." Or could it have been Christian-on-Christian violence? According to one medieval legend, Nicholas punched a heretic in the nose at the Council of Nicea -- the meeting in 325 that formed the first consensus on Christian doctrine. Early icons of Nicholas depict him without bishop's garb, a subtle suggestion that he had been demoted, possibly for fisticuffs. Alas, the Nick at Nicea rumor is not true, said English. But people seem to love the story, which pops up like poinsettias on the Internet this time of year. Thankfully, St. Nicholas, was known for more than brawling. He also had a reputation for giving gifts and protecting children. The first quality comes from a story about a poor man with three young daughters. Without a dowry to offer suitors, the man worried that his daughters would fall into prostitution. Legend has it that Nicholas dropped three bags of gold through an open window in the man's house, saving the women from the streets. The second story is a bit macabre: While staying at an inn, Nicholas discovered three dismembered children in pickle barrels. He reassembled and resurrected the briny kids and punished the guilty innkeeper. These deeds, along with his everyman persona, (he wasn't a martyr or hermit like so many other model Christians of the time), made Nicholas the greatest male saint of the Middle Ages, said Bowler. One measure of his popularity is the looong list of people, places, churches and Christian groups that list St. Nick as their patron. Bowler, Santa's biographer, says that St. Nick's feast day, December 6, (the day he supposedly died) was celebrated across Europe for hundreds of years, often by giving gifts to children. But, beginning in the 1500s, the Protestant Reformation swept away the cult of Christian saints, denouncing them as unbiblical and idolatrous. Christmas, too, went pretty much by the wayside for much of Protestant Europe during this time. Some countries, though, such as the Netherlands, kept alive traditions associated with Sinterklaas. And it was these customs that 19th century New Yorkers wanted to revive. As they sought to make Christmas more family friendly, the Saint Nicholas Society found the perfect front man in their namesake, who, after all, was known for being nice to children. It was a genius move. The real goal was getting drunks off the street, remember? Now they could do that by turning Christmas into a family event when children -- who had it pretty rough back then -- would receive gifts for good behavior. But the Knickerbockers needed more than good cheer to change Christmas. They needed stories. Drawing on the Dutch legends about Sinterklaas, the American author Washington Irving wrote a series of sketches featuring St. Nicholas soaring high above New York houses, smoking a pipe and delivering presents to well-behaved children. About a decade later, in 1821, an anonymous poem called "The Children's Friend," featured a magical figure called "Santeclaus," who drove a reindeer-led sleigh full of "rewards" and filled obedient children's stockings with little presents. Building on that, an Episcopalian scholar named Clement Clarke Moore wrote a poem for his big brood called "A Visit From St. Nicholas." It's now better known as "The Night Before Christmas." Strangely for a seminary professor, Moore's poem strips St. Nick of religious rhyme and reasons. Nicholas wears a fur suit, clambers down chimneys and gives presents to good children. But he says nothing about the "reason for the season," as contemporary Christmas warriors like to say. Still, Moore's St. Nick story went viral, spreading across the northeastern United States faster than reindeer on Ritalin. In some early depictions, Santa Claus looks like an overgrown elf; in others, he looks kind of scary, as American artists merged St. Nicholas with European traditions such as the German Krampus, who punishes bad children. By the early 1900s, Bowler says, Santa became standardized as the white-bearded, red-suited, twinkle-eyed benevolent grandfather that we all know and love. And we're not the only ones. "Merchants seized on this guy right away," Bowler says. "They immediately saw the possibility that this personification could be useful in their selling." In other words, Santa was pitching products almost as soon as he hitched up his sleigh. But before you blame Kris Kringle for commercializing Christmas, think back to what it was like before he came to town, when kids -- and many adults -- really had something to pout about.
In the early 1800s, Christmas in this country looked dramatically different . The original St. Nicholas was a bit of bad boy . When the Dutch came to the New World, they brought along Sinterklaas .

Officials in Montgomery County, Texas, said they stand by the child abuse charges they filed against Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, arguing the injuries to his four-year-old son exceeded normal disciplinary measures. Peterson, 29, surrendered to authorities early Saturday after flying to Texas from Minnesota and was released after posting a $15,000 bond. 'Obviously parents have a right to discipline their children, except when that discipline exceeds what the community thinks is reasonable,' assistant district Attorney Phil Grant told the Houston Chronicle on Saturday. 'It wasn't that he just used a switch.'. Scroll down for video . Indicted: Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson, smiling in this booking photo, reportedly admitted to police that he gave his son a 'whooping' These pictures show the cuts and bruises on the four-year-old's arm that Peterson is said to have caused by using a leafless tree branch . The grand jury, which indicted Peterson on Friday for reckless or negligent injury to a child, concluded that the incident was 'unreasonable discipline'. Meanwhile the NFL, which is reeling from its second public outcry about player misconduct in as many weeks, said Peterson would be disciplined under the league's personal-conduct policy. The Vikings said he wouldn't be playing in Sunday's game against the New England Patriots and that it is reviewing the matter. The 2012 NFL MVP admitted to police that he gave his son a 'whooping' last May with a switch - a term he used to describe a leafless tree branch - on two occasions as a form of punishment while the boy was visiting him in Houston. A copy of the indictment issued by the grand jury accusing Peterson of reckless or negligent injury to a child . Peterson said the boy pushed another one of his children off a motorbike video game they were playing. The player then grabbed a tree branch, removed its leaves and struck the child repeatedly, leaving cuts and bruises over many parts of his body, including on his buttocks, legs and scrotum. He then reportedly texted the boy's mother about the incident, saying that one wound in particular would make her 'mad at me about his leg. I got kinda good wit the tail end of the switch,' according to CBS. In further text messages, the football star said he 'felt bad after the fact when I notice the switch was wrapping around hitting i (sic) thigh' and that he “got him in nuts once I noticed. But I felt so bad, n I’m all tearing that butt up when needed! I start putting them in timeout. N save the whooping for needed memories!' He also texted the boy's mother: 'Never do I go overboard! But all my kids will know, hey daddy has the biggie heart but don’t play no games when it comes to acting right.' The child offered police a different version of events, telling them Peterson hit him on the face and that he feared further punishment for talking to the authorities about what happened. This is Peterson's home, where he admitted to beating his son with a 'switch' for punishment for misbehavior . He said that he had been hit by a belt and that 'there are a lot of belts in Daddy’s closet.' The boy also said that Peterson put leaves in his mouth when he was being hit with the switch while his pants were down and told his mother that his dad 'likes belts and switches' and 'has a whooping room.' Peterson's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, said Peterson is cooperating fully with investigators. 'Adrian is a loving father who used his judgment as a parent to discipline his son,' according to a statement from Hardin. 'He used the same kind of discipline with his child that he experienced as a child growing up in east Texas. Adrian has never hidden from what happened. He has cooperated fully with authorities and voluntarily testified before the grand jury for several hours.' The statement adds that Peterson 'deeply regrets the unintentional injury'. A grand jury indicted Vikings running back Adrian Peterson for reckless or negligent injury to a child, and a warrant was issued for his arrest . In fact, Peterson didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions when he was interviewed by police, telling them he only used 'whoopings' or spankings as a last result. When asked if some of the marks on the boy's body were from an extension cord, he said 'Oh, no, I’d never hit my child with an extension cord. I remember how it feels to get whooped with an extension cord. I’d never do that', CBS reported. After Peterson's four-year-old boy returned home to Minnesota, his mother took him to a doctor, who found a number of lacerations on this thighs, bruise-like marks on his lower back and buttocks and cuts on his hand. Tyrese Ruffin, pictured above, died last October in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Peterson, who is his biological father, only learned about him two months earlier . Joseph Patterson, the boyfriend of Tyrese's mother at the time of his death, is accused of second-degree murder. His trial is set for October . A police report obtained by a radio affiliate of CBS said the boy told the doctor that Peterson had hit him with a branch from a tree. A doctor describes some of the marks as open wounds and called it 'child abuse'. Another agreed and called the cuts 'extensive'. Peterson told investigators when they questioned him that he regarded the incident as a normal spanking and not excessive. A grand jury held in the summer had declined to charge him. A new one was impaneled in Montgomery County, Texas, and decided to pursue the indictment. In a statement, the Vikings said it was deactivating Peterson for this Sunday's home game against the New England Patriots. Peterson had plenty of fans and detractors on Twitter. Some thought what he did was nothing out of the ordinary. Others were less than kind. Another fan noted on Twitter that Peterson's image is featured on the tickets for the game this weekend, even though he won't be playing in it. The incident comes just 11 months after another son of Peterson's, Tyrese Ruffin, died in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, after allegedly being beaten by the boyfriend of the child's mother. Peterson only learned about the two-year-old's existence two months before his death. Joseph Patterson faces charges of second-degree murder, manslaughter and aggravated assault, and the trial is scheduled to begin next month. In July, Patterson pleaded not guilty to a second charge of assaulting Tyrese's mother and holding her against her will for more than an hour. Peterson reportedly has had seven children, including Tyrese and the four-year-old. Erica Syion, a former dancer from Dallas and mother of one Peterson's kids, said in October that her son knows of 'four other brothers and sisters' but the total number of children remains unclear.
Montgomery County, Texas, officials say the injuries to Peterson's four-year-old son exceeded what can be deemed normal discipline . The Vikings running back surrendered himself to the authorities and was freed on a $15,000 bond . The NFL said it would discipline Peterson in tune with the league's personal-conduct policy . Peterson told investigators that he beat the boy with a leafless tree branch as punishment for pushing one of his other children off a motorbike video game they were playing, calling it a routine spanking . A doctor inspecting the boy's injuries, which included multiple lacerations to his thighs and cuts on his hand, called them 'child abuse'

If you have ever struggled to untangle the wires on your headphones, an electrical extension cable or a reel of fishing line, then spare a thought for the workers at Britain's largest yarn processors who are responsible for keeping 1,500 miles of super-thin thread, tangle and snag-free each week. There has been a mill on the banks of the river Dove at Mayfield on the Staffordshire, Derbyshire border in Mayfield since the 1200's. Today thousands of spools and bobbins (known as cheeses), send the nylon and polyester yarn rushing along a labyrinth of frameworks – known as Creels – emerging to form giant webs that fan-out above the mill floor. They then feed into machines that use cameras and laser beams to constantly check up to 1000 threads at-a-time before the filaments contained in each thread are bonded in a glue and then dried.

Some of the yarns are so thin they are measured by weight with 10,000 thousand meters of some of today's threads weighing-in at only a few grams.

In the aftermath of dramatic events like Monday's bombing attack at the Boston Marathon, it's a truth of our times that millions of people will get early bits of news via social media. To be sure, sites like Twitter and Facebook were used extensively by police, relief groups and governments to share important information about the bombings. But there's also a more unfortunate side to how the Web responds to sudden bad news. Sometimes accidentally and sometimes maliciously, false information gets loose. And in the rapid-fire digital echo chamber, it doesn't take long to spread. "On days like this, Twitter shows its best & worst: loads of info at huge speed, but often false & sometimes deliberately so," said Mark Blank-Settle, of the BBC College of Journalism, in a post on the site. As always, news discovered online (or anywhere else, really) should be double-checked before it's passed along -- especially in times of tragedy. Here are some of the most widely shared untrue news items we've found on social media in the past 24 hours. Man planned to propose, girlfriend killed . Among the many gripping images to emerge from the bombing's aftermath was one of a man in a red shirt, kneeling on the ground cradling a woman in his arms. It went viral -- with a heartbreaking, but fake, story attached. "The man in the red shirt planned to propose to his girlfriend as he crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon, but she passed away" it reads. "Most of us will never experience this amount of emotional pain." The image is, in fact, real. It comes from the Boston Globe and was shared through Getty Images. But the agency's caption merely describes the scene as a man comforting an injured woman at the finish line. That didn't stop it from making the rounds in a big way. A somewhat misleading Facebook account pretending to represent actor Will Ferrell (it calls itself a "parody" but has 385,000 likes) shared the post. By Tuesday morning, the picture had more than 448,000 "likes" and had been shared over 92,000 times. Young girl died at finish line . Another heart-wrenching image of a supposed victim went viral. In this one, a young girl running in a road race is pictured, with text saying she died in one of the blasts. As an added cruel twist, the post says she was "running for the Sandy Hook victims." But a quick look at the photo shows that her runner's bib is from the Joe Cassella 5K in Great Falls, Virginia. Also, the Boston Marathon does not allow runners that young. On Google+, one of the users who shared the image followed it with "poor little girl..got killed in boston..):" By Tuesday, it had more than 500 comments and had become a "What's Hot" post on the site -- appearing in the feeds of all users who haven't turned off that feature. On Tuesday, organizers of that race shot down the tale on their Facebook account. "We would like to clarify that the picture circulating on the web and Twitter of a little girl wearing a Joe Cassella 5K bib claiming to have been killed at the Boston marathon is being used fraudulently," read the page for the Joe Cassella Foundation. The group raises funds for the families of children who are ill in the Washington area. Race organizers will donate for retweets . A Twitter account sprouted up under the handle @_BostonMarathon. Posing as the organizers of the race, whoever is behind the account tweeted: "For every retweet we receive we will donate $1 to the #BostonMarathon victims #PrayForBoston." By Monday evening, the post had been retweeted more than 50,000 times. It was, of course, fake. And to its credit, Twitter disabled the account soon afterward. It wasn't the only Twitter phony. Another widely talked-about account, @Hope4Boston, shared both the image of the 8-year-old girl who supposedly died and a photo of a young boy, running in a race, who was another supposed victim. Eight-year-old Martin Richard was one of three confirmed fatalities as of Tuesday morning. But he was watching the race, not running in it. The "Hope for Boston" account was created on March 24, according to the Web tool When Did You Join Twitter? But account holders are able to change their handles and names on the site. Authorities shut down cell phone service . Reports flew around social media, mainly Twitter, on Monday that police in Boston had shut down cellular networks to prevent an attacker from using a cell phone to detonate another explosive. At least one media report quoted an unnamed source with information to that effect, before later recanting. In truth, Boston's wireless network was simply overwhelmed with the volume of calls and other communications in the aftermath of the attack. Service was slow and spotty, but never shut down. Verizon and other mobile carriers confirmed they'd never been contacted by officials asking them to shut off service. Soon after the bombings, mobile carriers were beefing up their networks in the Boston area. AT&T made its Wi-Fi system publicly available for free to help take the load off traditional phone lines. Conspiracy theories . We almost hate to even address this stuff. We'll start with a bottom line: Anyone saying they know what happened at this point is making it up. But that didn't stop far-fetched imaginings, often based in political ideology, from flying almost immediately after the attack. One syndicated talk show host (who won't be named and whose content won't be linked here) tweeted that the attacks "stink to high heaven" of a so-called "false flag," or staged attack. "False flag" is an old naval term that's come to be used for a military action that's not what it appears to be. At least one Web user was ready for this. He registered a website -- bostonmarathonconspiracy.com -- on Monday. Clicking the link reveals a white page with black text reading: . "I bought this domain to keep some conspiracy theory kook from owning it. Please keep the victims of this event and their families in your thoughts. Thank you."
On social media, untrue stories about the Boston terror attacks have gone viral quickly . One photo falsely purported to show a man who had planned to propose to his girlfriend . People believed cell phone service was shut down by authorities, but it wasn't . Tragedy shows "best and worst" of Twitter, media professional says .

In the battle of the broadcasters, Sky has announced plans to launch its own mobile network, powered by O2. O2's owner Telefónica UK will give Sky wholesale access to 2G, 3G and 4G voice and data services, with the first deals expecting to launch in 2016. Sky is hoping to rival fellow broadcaster Virgin Media, which uses EE's network for its mobile services, and BT, which is said to be in talks to buy EE. O2's owner Telefónica UK will give Sky wholesale access to 2G, 3G and 4G voice and data services. The first deals are expected to launch in 2016. Sky is the country's second-largest provider of home broadband and is the most popular 'triple-play' provider, with 40% of customers taking its TV, telephone and broadband . Additionally, Three is poised to buy O2. Under the terms of Sky's multi-year deal, Telefónica UK will share its network with the media giant across the UK, and the first services will launch next year. Jeremy Darroch, Group Chief Executive, Sky said: 'Sky has a proven ability to launch new services, at scale. 'Through our partnership with Telefónica UK, we can build on our expertise to launch a range of exciting new services and exploit the opportunities for growth in the fast-changing mobile sector.' Sky is the country's second-largest . provider of home broadband since entering the market seven years . ago, with more than 5 million customers. Under the terms of Sky's multi-year deal, Telefónica UK will share its network, and the first services will launch next year. Meanwhile, Telefónica UK already rents part of its network to Tesco Mobile. Sky is hoping to rival fellow broadcaster Virgin Media, which shares EE's network, and BT, which is said to be in talks to buy EE. Additionally, Three's owner Hutchison Whampoa is said to be poised to buy Telefónica. Vodafone was initially seen as a leading contender for the wholesale . partnership with Sky as the two firms already have content partnerships . in place. Vodafone Red 4G customers can get access to Sky Sports as part of their plan, for example. Instead, Vodafone is planning to launch a broadband and TV service later this year that will use its Cable and Wireless business fibre network, and BT's Openreach network. It is also said to be the most popular 'triple-play' provider, with almost 40 per cent of its customers taking its three services - TV, telephone and broadband. Adding a mobile service would make it a so-called 'quad-play provider.' More recently, it launched a mobile TV service Sky Go that lets people watch live and on-demand films and TV shows on their phones and tablets. Financial terms of the partnership were not given and an O2 spokesman said the deal would not affect existing O2 customers. Meanwhile, Telefónica UK already rents part of its network to Tesco Mobile and showing its willingness to open its network to Sky could help it gain regulatory approval for its acquisition by Three. If this acquisition is approved, it will create the country's largest mobile network. Ewan Taylor-Gibson, telecoms expert at uSwitch.com, told MailOnline: 'Sky is keeping up with the Joneses - Virgin Media, TalkTalk and potentially BT later this year - to become the latest telecoms giant to offer all four services. 'Quad play is proving all the rage amongst telecoms providers, but mobile often seems like the afterthought of these four-way bundles. 'Many customers are already tied into long contracts so aren't in the market for a new mobile deal. 'The advantage is that all your services are under one roof, making billing far simpler, but if one service isn't up to scratch, it can be harder to leave. Meanwhile, the biggest fixed-line provider, BT, is in . talks to buy EE as companies increasingly . seek to offer a package of services including fixed and mobile . calls, broadband and entertainment. The new tie-up could be bad news for Vodafone, though, continued Mr Taylor-Gibson. Financial terms of the partnership were not given and an O2 spokesman said the deal would not affect existing O2 customers. Meanwhile, Telefónica UK already rents part of its network to Tesco Mobile and showing a willingness to open its network to Sky could help it gain approval for Three's acquisition . Jeremy Darroch, group chief executive at Sky said: 'Sky has a proven ability to launch new services, at scale. Through our partnership with Telefónica UK, we can build on our expertise to launch a range of exciting new services.' Following the news, Sky shares dipped by one pence to just below 936.7p . Sky recently launched a mobile TV service Sky Go that lets people watch live and on-demand films and TV shows on their phones and tablets (pictured) 'With Sky piggybacking off O2's network, which also provides services to Tesco Mobile, the tie-up could be bad news for Vodafone, which had been seen as a leading contender for a wholesale partnership with Sky,' he said. Sky and Vodafone already have a number of content partnerships . in place. Vodafone Red 4G customers can get access to Sky Sports as part of their plan, for example. Vodafone is planning to launch a broadband and TV service later this year that will use its Cable and Wireless business fibre network, and BT's Openreach network. Pricing details, and what TV content will be offered, has yet to be announced. Commenting on the Sky and Telefonica UK partnership, Paolo Pescatore, director of apps and media at CCS Insight said: 'Sky was forced down this route. It can't afford to be left behind in the multi-play market. 'With BT's plans to launch a consumer mobile offering and the acquisition of EE as well as Vodafone's plans to offer broadband and TV, Sky had no choice but to launch its own mobile offer.' Dominic Baliszewski, telecoms expert at broadbandchoices added: 'This is further proof of the UK’s inevitable shift towards ‘Quad-Play’ services, but it remains to be seen how quickly customers will adopt these new bundles. 'At the moment, just understanding the new mobile world order is going to be confusing enough for customers with Sky teaming up with Telefonica, Telefonica selling O2 to Three and BT buying EE outright. 'When the dust settles and packages become available it is important that customers are given clear information to help them understand how these deals are structured, priced and delivered if they are to avoid signing up to something that they don’t really need.'

West Ham beat PSV Eindhoven to keep their Premier League Under 21 International Cup ambitions alive as 15-year-old Reece Oxford captained his side to victory at Upton Park. It is something rarely seen in football that a schoolboy such as Oxford should lead a team made up of players in some cases four or five years older than him. But then it is increasingly apparent that Oxford, one of the best up-and-coming centre-halves in the youth game, is no ordinary teenager. VIDEO Scroll down to see Sam Allardyce talk about keeping Oxford at the club . Kieran Bywater (left) is congratulated by his team-mates after levelling the scores at Upton Park .

PSV Under 21s: Bertrams (GK), Hermannsson, Kock, De Wijs, Tamata, Schaars, Sanoh, Leemans, Vloet, Lukovic (Rommens 65), Rudovic (van Overbeek 58) Subs not used: Loof, Heesakkers, de la Paz . Referee: Alan Young . The Hammers are already fending off strong interest from the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea for the boy already being likened to another product of the east end club’s academy, Rio Ferdinand. Indeed, chairman David Sullivan went public a long time ago with his frustration that one of the Premier League’s big clubs could easily turn Oxford’s head and acquire him for a fee as paltry as £250,000. And so mature performances such as this one may have to be savoured by the West Ham faithful as they kept their chances of progressing to the knockout stage in this first edition of the International Cup. After Andjelo Rudovic had handed the Dutch visitors a third-minute lead, an unstoppable strike from Kieran Bywater and an assured finish from Kieran Sadlier turned the tables.

This match failed to live up to the end-to-end excitement of West Ham’s first foray into this tournament last month, when Athletic Bilbao beat them 5-3 at the same venue, but it was a more favourable result. In the meantime, PSV had beaten Bilbao 1-0 and were therefore seeking to ensure their qualification as they arrived at the Boleyn on a crisp November night. And they enjoyed the perfect start when Andrija Lukovic controlled the ball in a dangerous area and teed up Rudovic to fire past West Ham keeper Raphael Spiegel. The Swiss stopper then showed great reflexes to thwart Rai Vloet at his near post while Oxford had to be alert to slide in and thwart Moussa Sanoh as PSV continued their positive start. Kieran Sadlier, scorer of the winning goal, vies for the ball (left), while Fanimo attempts a tackle (right) 15-year-old centre-back Oxford, pictured in August, captained West Ham's Under 21s on Wednesday night . Gradually, the hosts gained a foothold in the game and Ben Marlow connected well with a corner only to see his half-volley go wide of the post. And on 37 minutes, they gained an equaliser when Bywater found the top corner with a powerful shot from the edge of the area. Their parity was well deserved after a strong recovery from a shaky start. Indeed West Ham could have led before half-time but goalkeeper Jesse Bertrams saved first Sebastian Lletget’s shot on the turn and then Sadlier’s swerving effort from range. But they didn’t have to wait long after the break to gain their reward as Lletget split the PSV defence open and Sadlier ran through to finish well past Bertrams. PSV responded brightly to going behind and Lukovic rattled the post with Spiegel well beaten. West Ham retreated further and further back, taking every opportunity to break up the flow of the game. With 10 minutes left, Nasha’s wayward shot somehow found its way to Elvio van Overbeek, who was denied by a terrific Spiegel save. The Hammers managed to hold on through six minutes of added time to claim their first win in this competition and it will now all come down to their match with Fulham on December 8 to see if they can advance.

Paris, France (CNN) -- No matter whatever else happens in tennis' clay-court season, Rafael Nadal is almost an automatic at the French Open. Nadal won an unprecedented ninth title at Roland Garros and now only trails Roger Federer on the men's grand slam ladder after seeing off Novak Djokovic 3-6 7-5 6-2 6-4 on a third consecutive day of steamy weather in Paris, which did no favors for the Serb -- who appeared to vomit slightly in the last set. Their tussle couldn't compare to last year's five-set classic in the semifinals or their six-hour duel at the Australian Open in 2012 but the final outcome, to Nadal's delight, is that he tied Pete Sampras on 14 majors, three behind the 32-year-old Federer. "You are a great champion, Rafa," Sampras said in an email sent to CNN. "Congratulations on number 14." Nadal was supposed to be vulnerable here. He merely won one European clay-court title this year before Paris, his lowest haul since 2004 -- and that year the Spaniard skipped the campaign's second major. There were upset defeats in Monte Carlo and Barcelona, and Nadal's coach, Toni Nadal, admitted he only won in Madrid because his opponent, Kei Nishikori, was hurt. With every passing encounter against Djokovic at the French Open, the Serb had won more games and kept Nadal on court for longer. He was getting closer. His victory over Nadal in the Rome final in May, his fourth straight overall against the left-hander, gave his backers greater hope. "My best wasn't (like it was) against him in Rome," Djokovic told reporters. Nadal, however, stormed into this year's finale in record time -- for him -- playing a near flawless three final sets against 2013 finalist David Ferrer, crushing Andy Murray in the semis and lifting his game when it mattered against Djokovic, minus a rare hiccup late in the fourth set. "Mentally I was so strong," said Nadal, 28. "I really wanted to defeat him. When there were problems cropping up, I managed to find the solutions." Yes, if Djokovic needed any reminding, Nadal at the French Open -- in a best-of-five format -- is a different character to the one that competes in prep tournaments in a shorter format. He's 66-1 at the French, with those nine titles alongside. Despite that, the notoriously tough Toni Nadal said his nephew was "not special." "If Rafa has done it, I'm sure another can do it," he told reporters. "Rafael is not special ... another can do the same. But it's not easy. To win nine in 10 years is for me, unbelievable." Djokovic, in tears during the trophy presentation, will have to wait to complete his grand slam collection. He missed out, too, on reclaiming the No. 1 ranking from Nadal. While Nadal's knees have constantly troubled the Mallorcan throughout his career, the heat has never been Djokovic's friend. He suffered against Ernests Gulbis on Friday, the first time high temperatures were a factor this fortnight, but had enough to see off the rejuvenated Latvian in four sets. On Sunday -- unlike two days ago -- he donned a cap from the outset in an attempt to lessen the effects of the sun. Djokovic said in his post-match news conference it was "normal that you have ups and downs" physically against Nadal at the French Open but his influential co-coach, Marian Vajda, blamed his two-match dip on a "stomach problem." He lamented his charge's normally splendid return game. "I was not happy with his return today," Vajda told reporters. But he added, "Rafa changed his serve very good, mixed it up and caught him a bit off balance. He served very smart, where to serve and Novak was a bit unsure." As popular as Djokovic is for his dance moves, humor -- and chatting to ball kids during rain delays -- it was Nadal who received the louder applause as they walked on court. Djokovic is always playing catch up when it comes to matching Federer, Nadal, and even Murray, in support, at least at the start of proceedings. Both players were untroubled on serve until the eighth game, when Nadal's forehand -- uncharacteristically -- went off. He missed three inside-out forehands to gift Djokovic a 5-3 lead. For the first time in six tries at Roland Garros, Djokovic claimed the opening set against Nadal. A more aggressive Nadal broke for 4-2 in the second, yet he didn't cruise thereafter. A double fault contributed to an immediate break back and the set went on serve until 6-5. Serving to stay in the second set for a second time, Djokovic crumbled. Nadal let out a large roar after pummeling a forehand winner for 7-5. The tennis was hardly scintillating but by the end of the second, Nadal's forehand returned. The points and games were becoming extended, exactly the type of battle that favored Nadal. The outlook shifted. "Without that second set, I don't know if I have this trophy with me now," said Nadal. A fired-up Nadal, the crowd still on the defending champion's side and the issues with his body all seemed to weigh down Djokovic. He dumped a simple looking backhand volley into the net on a serve-and-volley to trail 2-0. Djokovic's frustration boiled over when he slammed his racket to the court after erring on a cross-court backhand at 2-4. That seventh game would be pivotal. Nadal couldn't convert a handful of game points but slammed the door shut when Djokovic suddenly found himself with a break point. He sealed the 10-minute game with the aid of trademark defense -- and an unforced backhand error from the Serb. It was a matter of "when" not "if" Nadal would break in the fourth and it came in the sixth game. But what happened next wasn't in the script: A shaky Nadal forehand, double fault and errant smash handed Djokovic a lifeline, 4-3. Such a nervy game from Nadal in a grand slam final is almost never witnessed. Wanting more tennis, the fans, for the first time, began chanting, "Novak, Novak." A re-energized Djokovic obliged to make it 4-4. Djokovic's time to pounce was now, but he let Nadal off the hook. Allowing Nadal to convert a forehand winner down the line, Djokovic pounded his head with his racket. Djokovic blew a 30-0 lead in the final game, undone by a double fault on match point after a fan called out during his earlier service motion, forcing him to start over. "I was happy with (Novak's) performance" in the tournament, said Vajda. "Maybe he had these problems a bit, he was fighting himself. It's always tough to lose in the final but I think he's a fighter. He will move to the (next) grand slam." Nadal sunk to his knees, and like women's champion Maria Sharapova on Saturday after her victory over Simona Halep made the trek to the players' box. The outcome was even sweeter for Nadal after a back injury rendered him less than 100% in January's Australian Open final against Stan Wawrinka. Before turning his thoughts to Wimbledon, where Nadal has been upset the previous two years, you can be sure he'll be doing some celebrating Sunday night. And it's in southwest Paris, again.

(CNN) -- The Trans Alaska pipeline is expected to return to full service this week after a leak near Prudhoe Bay brought the flow of oil to a stop this month, a company spokeswoman said. "We are in the final stages of the bypass line," said Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. spokeswoman Megan Egan. The 800-mile line was shut down January 8 when a leak was found during an inspection of a pump house. The pipeline then was reopened from Tuesday through Saturday to flush remaining oil from the line. When the pumping resumes, the flow will start at about 500,000 barrels of oil a day -- about three-quarters of normal flow -- and then move to its full capacity, Egan said. The pipeline's daily average output is about 642,000 barrels, according to the company website.

Buoyant mood: Petev will be hoping he is smiling after AEL Limassol's match against Tottenham on Thursday .

The Russians eventually progressed from the Champions League third qualifying round encounter 3-1 on aggregate, but their home performance has buoyed the Cypriots. 'I believe August 21 will be a very good day for AEL,' Petev told www.uefa.com. 'There is belief and it is vital that there is in the squad. 'We managed to beat a club like Zenit in our previous tie in Europe and were then unlucky to go out against them because we played with 10 men for some 70 minutes [in the second leg].

(OPRAH.com) -- A year ago, writer Lori Gottlieb set off a firestorm -- that's what Meredith Vieira called it on the "Today" show -- with an essay in The Atlantic titled "Marry Him!" Her argument: If you're a woman on the cusp of 30, you should suck it up and settle down with Mr. Good Enough, as waiting for Mr. Right probably means missing out, resigning yourself to a purgatory of depressing dates and meaningless flings until, finally, no one bothers to call anymore because you're, gulp, too old. In a generation of women coming off the bacchanal of "Sex and the City", Gottlieb's article hit like a horrible hangover. It entered the pantheon of incendiary articles about women and marriage that pop up in every era -- like the outrageous (and later debunked) claim, in Newsweek in 1986, that a 40-year-old woman was more likely to be killed by a terrorist than marry. Gottlieb's piece polarized readers. Some said her argument was common sense, that women must confront the biological realities that suggest they're most marriageable when they're young and fertile. Other readers said she was telling women to sell out their dreams and shut down their hearts. Oprah.com: 6 love decisions we've made for you . In time for Valentine's Day, Gottlieb is back, with an entire book devoted to her theory. Part "The Rules" and part Malcolm Gladwellian sociopop, "Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough" is surprisingly, unnervingly convincing. Gottlieb interviewed an array of experts -- sociologists, behavioral economists, social psychologists, and statisticians -- who presented evidence about why online dating doesn't work, what women can really expect when they're in their 40s (there are only 72 single men for every 100 women in the 45-to-65-year-old demographic, according to a U.S. Census figure she cites), and why women are fundamentally the choosier sex. "There are so many really wonderful men out there, men who want commitment, who want to be married, who are attractive and smart and interesting," Gottlieb says. "They may not be movie-star attractive, they may be awkward at first, they may not fit our cultural image of who Mr. Right or who Prince Charming is. But we shouldn't pass them up. Look what happened to me." What happened to Gottlieb? Educated and independent, she is gorgeous, vivacious, and sharply witty. She went to Stanford Medical School; she has written several books, two of which have been optioned by Hollywood. In other words, she is such a fantastic catch that she assumed she would never have to settle, that a Superhusband -- romantic, brilliant, baggage-free -- would emerge from the ether and sweep her into an eternally fulfilling marriage. But, she says, she missed the boat -- several times -- by focusing on potential mates' flaws and expecting too much. Now 42, she has a 4-year-old son, courtesy of a sperm donor. "We are taught as young women in this culture that compromise is a bad word," she says. "We tell each other: 'You go, girl. You get the best. You deserve the best.' It's not so much narcissism as a false cultural perception of our worth. We want the ten, because we think we're a ten. But we're missing the fact that we're not. Nobody is. Men have flaws, but we have flaws, too." Oprah.com: What woman learned from dating 100 men . Surely, some women will find "Marry Him" more than a little off-putting. Its subtitle makes the prospect of marriage sound like a life sentence. And sometimes Gottlieb's call to arms sounds so pragmatic as to be loveless. Readers may also ask, what is an unhappily single woman doing, telling us how and why to get married? But maybe the question is, who better? For a woman who once wouldn't have thought of dating a short man in a bow tie, she has come a long way. (In the book, Gottlieb described dating just such a guy, and you root for the pair, until he moves to Chicago.) She is currently "accepting invitations from men everywhere," she says with a laugh. Or as she puts it in the book's dedication: "For my husband, whoever you are." Oprah.com: How (not) to get a man . Subscribe to O, The Oprah Magazine for up to 75% off the newsstand price.

The startling appearance of a ‘blue’ fox at a Travelodge has sparked a mystery in south-east London. Guests at the busy hotel in Woolwich were shocked when the bewildered fox wandered inside and had to be coaxed out with a packet of crisps. What made the situation even more bizarre was the animal’s coat, which had somehow become covered in blue paint. A fox covered in blue paint or dye surprised guests when it wandered into a Travelodge in Woolwich . Guests whipped out their smartphones to snap photos of the fox, which appeared to be cowering in a corner at one point. It mooched around the bar and reception area, looking a little confused, as staff and guests devised a plan. One guest, now dubbed ‘a fox whisperer’, managed to lure the fox outside by laying a trail of Doritos. Referring to comedian Lenny Henry, who appears in adverts for Travelodge rival Premier Inn, guest Scott Farnell, who photographed the urban fox, tweeted: ‘What’s going on here then? Lenny Henry wouldn’t stand for this?’ Guest Scott Farnell said a man managed to lure the fox back outside by laying a trail of Doritos . Scott said he was scared of the animal and the hotel receptionist tried contact the RSPCA for help but there was no answer. A second photo showed a man laying a trail of crisps. Scott added: ‘Fox whisperer has taken care of him. Likes Doritos.’ The RSPCA said they were investigating the incident. Mr Farnell tweeted photos of the fox and told his Twitter followers that he was scared of the animal . Guests said the hotel receptionist attempted to contact the RSPCA but there was no answer . A spokesman said they had not seen a blue fox before and don't know how it managed to become that colour. With more than 35,000 urban foxes in London, it’s not unusual for encounters of the unusual kind to be reported. To keep foxes at bay the Royal Borough of Greenwich recommends residents and businesses ensure their bins are securely shut, that rubbish sacks are not left beside their wheelie bins, and that they never feed the animals.

(CNN) -- It's hard to think about global warming when it's so cold that you can't suck in the air without pain. I stepped out on my porch in Vermont this morning -- I live in an old farmhouse with a panoramic view of the Green Mountains -- and could hardly breathe. The thermometer had dipped well below zero. I heard on the local radio that it was 70 below zero on Mount Washington, in New Hampshire, taking into account the wind chill. But I'm used to cold weather, having spent most of my adult life, almost four decades, in New Hampshire and Vermont. In fact, I remember the cold snaps of old, back in the 70s and early 80s, when for weeks on end the temperature would hover around zero, maybe creeping up to 10 or 15 at noon, when the sun looked like a pale and cheerless disc in the sky. There was a strange exhilaration in those sub-zero weeks: the sense of a vacuum, a silence that amounted to noise. You couldn't inhale, as it made your lungs ache. Your nose-hairs froze and breathing was difficult. Your glasses steamed up when you stepped into any building. It was important to dress in the most thoughtful ways, with layer upon layer of clothes, including a good set of silk underwear. Earmuffs were essential, as well as big fur hats, thick gloves, insulated boots and wool socks, the works. I have a photo that I love of the old poet, Robert Frost, in a winter hat with long earflaps, in heavy boots, a stick in hand. He is walking through a snowy field not far from where I live. He often wrote poems about being alone in the woods or fields in deep snow. I think, for instance, of "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" or the ferocious "Goodbye, and Keep Cold," where he says: "Dread fifty above more than fifty below." He's speaking to a stand of trees that seem not to mind the arctic weather, these resilient "Maples and birches and tamarack." I'm afraid that human beings rarely like it when it gets so cold. Only a week ago, I paid a fleeting visit to Key West, Florida, where it was almost 90 under the palm trees. Coming back to Vermont late one night, only a few days ago, I stepped from the airplane into the dark, icy weather, and I wondered how I could stand it. When I got to my car, the thermometer on my dashboard told me it was 10 below zero. And the wind howled as I drove through the dark snowy mountains to my house. Was I crazy to live in such a climate? This morning I met a friend, an elderly Vermonter, in a cafe. He said to me, "I don't know about you, but I feel comforted by this cold snap. It reminds me of the old days, before global warming. I feel as if the world isn't completely out of whack." I doubt the world isn't out of whack when, on Wednesday, it was colder in New York City than it was in part of Antarctica. This is imbalance on a global scale, and it doesn't provide much comfort to move through a brief cold snap. We know that vast shelves of ice are melting at the poles. We know that this past year was the hottest on record. Only those with their heads buried deep in the sand can believe that climate change is not upon us and that fossil fuels are not changing this planet in ways that will make life difficult for our children and their children. Something has to be done, and quickly, or we'll be passing along to our heirs a ghastly wreck of a planet. We will have proved dreadful and selfish stewards of this precious earth. I don't expect the cold to last, not like in the old days. Yet while it does, for a brief while, I plan to enjoy it. I'm going to bundle up tight today -- silk underwear, hat, gloves, and insulated boots -- and go for a walk in the woods, just to savor the depth of silence, the sense of a world brought to a point of absolute and unimaginable stillness. Like Frost, I will say to my Vermont neighbors with a wry smile: "Goodbye, and Keep Cold." I know they will smile back. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Jay Parini.
A severe cold front swept across the East Coast and the Midwest this week . Jay Parini: It's hard to think about global warming when it's so cold . He says he's used to very cold weather and enjoys it despite the discomfort . Parini: Only those with their heads buried in the sand don't believe in climate change .

(CNN) -- Last Monday the cheers and celebration of crowds lining Boylston Street for the Boston Marathon were overwhelmed by the blasts of two bombs. Today, at the moment the bombs went off, silence. A line of Boston police officers extended out across Boylston Street. A horseshoe-shaped group of first responders surrounded the site of one blast. Hundreds of people gathered at nearby intersections. Some wept. Union laborers stood beside police and other Boston residents, their heads bowed, as the city sat eerily quiet until a harp's song sliced the silence. After that, all that could be heard was the whoosh of the wind. "It's a new thing people are going to have to keep in their hearts now," said local student and Somerville resident Michael Sadler, who joined hundreds gathered at the corner of Hereford and Bolyston streets. "There's just a lot of memories on those blocks. But a lot of it doesn't make sense." The rest of the country paid its respects. The New York Stock Exchange went silent as well. So did the president and the U.S. Senate. But Boston has not been silenced by the tragedy. Signs calling for the city to "stay strong" were scattered throughout the area, as were hundreds of flowers and stuffed animals sporting Red Sox and Bruins T-shirts. A few American flags were attached to the wall of a bank. Outside the six-block zone barricaded by authorities, it was business -- and living -- as usual. People shopped at Prudential Center, strolled through the Back Bay, took the T to Downtown Crossing. The Red Sox are playing at Fenway Park Monday night. Though the grand Boston Public Library, not far away, remained closed, it is scheduled to open Tuesday. The Hub of the Universe does not give up. Last week was a shock to the system. How could it be otherwise? The sound of the explosions "was so strong the bar filled up with smoke and chairs tipped over," one witness told CNN. "I saw people -- it was like they were on a trampoline literally flying through the air." Mark Gordon recently moved to a high-rise apartment on Boylston Street and had a perfect view of the marathon from his balcony. It was a glorious day in Boston, the city he'd lived in for 12 years. He was doing household chores when the first bomb went off. "I'll never look out my window the same way again even though it's been six short days," Gordon said. The Marathon is usually a 26.2-mile party -- "the old, drunk uncle of Boston sports, the last of the true festival events," Massachusetts native and Boston-area resident Charles P. Pierce wrote on Grantland. It used to offer a bowl of beef stew to the winner. More than 100 years into its existence, it remains a celebration of humanity, its route lined with the whole spectrum of life, from little kids to old-timers, coming out to enjoy a sure sign of spring. "It's going to be a lot different next year," said Karen Russell, a Cambridge resident who works in Boston. "They'll probably have a lot more security. But it'll all be different." The flowers blooming this year are out for a different reason. But, as the Twitter hashtag had it, #BostonStrong. "Boston is a tough & resilient town," said one sign near Boylston Street. "So are its people."

(CNN) -- Too many of America's children aren't ready for kindergarten -- or for what comes after. Only about one-in-three U.S. children are in the process of understanding or actually skilled in the kinds of math and reading activities that support the lessons they will encounter in kindergarten, according to research commissioned by Sesame Workshop. Meanwhile, only about half of children demonstrated the social, emotional and so-called executive function skills that will help them to adapt and learn during kindergarten. In fact, more than one-third of children begin kindergarten not proficient in even one of the areas we surveyed. The results, documented in the "Kindergartners' Skills at School Entry" report, suggest that almost half of children -- 44% -- enter kindergarten with one or more risk factors based on their home environment (for example, poverty, parents with less than a high school education). Unfortunately, children with these risk factors typically have lower school readiness scores than those not affected by such circumstances, particularly in reading, mathematics, and executive function skills. All this matters because these "executive" skills -- particularly impulse control -- play a pivotal role in children's long-term development. And, despite what some might think, something like self-regulation, and the underlying cognitive skills it requires, can actually be taught during the preschool years. Indeed, the reality is that being ready for school is about much more than just having the academic basics like having a good vocabulary or even just knowing letters and numbers. It's about being smart in other ways, such as being able to solve problems creatively and having flexible thinking, as well as being confident and resilient, and also being kind (important when trying to get along with other children). True, children are born ready to learn. But how and what they learn is critical in predicting children's success in school. It might surprise many to hear that current research has demonstrated that by 18 months, scientists can detect differences in various parts of the brain between children living in low socioeconomic status environments and those in middle or upper class environments. Such findings add to the growing evidence that parents play an absolutely critical role in the development of their baby's brain. So how can we make sure children have all the skills they need to succeed? Children learn best through real-life interactions with the adults and items in their environment. It is through these interactions, as well as their individual genetic make-up, that forms the brain architecture and the foundations for future learning. But while it's important for parents to gain a deeper understanding of what their infants, toddlers, and preschoolers are capable of learning, it is also critical they see what these responsive and nurturing interactions look like in order to maximize teachable moments throughout their daily routines, such as meal time, bath time and bed time. Technology can help with all this. Organizations such as Too Small to Fail and Text4baby, which we are currently partnering with are illustrating for new parents how to talk, read, and sing to their child throughout everyday moments, as well as suggesting ways to engage in stimulating activities that support their child's development, especially language and vocabulary development. All of this seems especially important for those of us who work in the media -- we have a unique opportunity to provide educational experiences to engage young learners and really set them up for life by harnessing the power of technology to show parents and teachers the types of activities that help foster learning. And we can involve every adult in a child's life -- teachers, grandparents and childcare professionals -- in the process. Early development of children's brains is too often overlooked. But by inspiring a sense of joy in learning, and by building upon young children's innate curiosity, we can help give them the building blocks they will rely upon for their whole lives.

As a polio survivor, World Polio Day is more than a date on the calendar -- it's a reminder that we can and must end this crippling disease. I grew up in the Kano state of Nigeria and contracted polio at age 3. This disease often causes paralysis and left me mostly paralyzed and unable to walk. My brothers had to help me move when we traveled long distances; even traveling to and from school was difficult. Living with polio was not easy when I was younger, but I have found ways to cope and lead an active life. And that has given me a lot of strength. For example, I was very interested in soccer when I was young, and I later went on to found para-soccer, a nationally-recognized soccer-style game for people with disabilities in Nigeria. Why polio hasn't gone away yet . While polio has not stopped me, I am determined to stop polio. Children today shouldn't have to go through what I've been through -- especially when a few drops of the polio vaccine can protect them from the disease. I have committed myself to raising awareness and educating people not just about polio, but about the importance of vaccinations. In fact, to mark World Polio Day in Nigeria, more than 300 polio survivors are actively participating in sporting activities across the country. On an ongoing basis, more than 1,000 survivors are actively campaigning for polio eradication in communities. Empowering people affected by polio will strengthen our campaign against the disease and help spread the message that vaccinating our children is the only way to prevent them from similar fates. At the U.N., money backs up vow to eradicate polio by 2015 . Nigeria is the only polio endemic country in Africa and one of only three remaining countries (the others are Afghanistan and Pakistan) that have not been able to stop the transmission of the disease, according to the World Health Organization. If we fail to end polio in these countries, all other countries are at risk. This contagious disease can be imported, paralyzing children in countries that thought they were done with polio. A recent outbreak in the Horn of Africa is a reminder that we must finish the job. In my country, we must make sure more children are vaccinated and overall immunity is higher, especially in the northern states. Every child that does not get polio drops breaks the circle of protection and exposes him or her and others to contracting the virus. Challenges still exist in Nigeria, especially in reaching children in some communities where security is an issue, like Kano, Borno and Yobe. We are helping to fix this by ensuring local ownership by the government and communities themselves. The good news is that we have made progress against polio in Nigeria and around the world. In Nigeria, the government, partners, and survivors are working hard, and polio cases are down right now compared to this time last year. Globally, polio cases have been reduced by more than 99 percent in the past 25 years. Opinion: Don't fall at the finish line in the race to eradicate polio . Thanks to a worldwide effort of governments and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, including the United Nations, the number of polio cases has dropped from 350,000 a year in 1988 to just 223 last year, and the number of countries where polio is transmitted has dropped from 125 to 3, according to the eradication initiative. I look forward to the day Nigeria overcomes the devastation of polio and joins the list of polio-free countries. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative has developed a plan to end polio for good; now is the time for all of us to support this effort, educate our communities, and make sure our children are vaccinated. On World Polio Day, my wish is that one day we end polio in Nigeria and in the world. I made my dream of playing soccer come true, and I believe we can make this one come true, too.
Misbahu Lawan Didi grew up in Kano state and contracted polio at age 3 . Nigeria reported 223 cases of polio last year . Didi writes he founded para-soccer in Nigeria and that he always dreamed of playing soccer .

By . Fiona Macrae . PUBLISHED: . 14:35 EST, 4 December 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 10:22 EST, 6 December 2013 . Tragic: Beth Warren with her husband Warren before he died . Beth Warren and her husband dreamt of having two children – a boy and a girl. But he died of cancer before they could start a family and she has launched a legal battle to give her the chance of realising the dream. Mrs Warren, 28, wants more time to decide whether to have IVF treatment using sperm that her husband had frozen before his death. The couple had been together eight years and married in a hospice six weeks before Warren Brewer, a ski instructor, died from a brain tumour aged just 32. He had agreed that the samples could be used to allow his wife to have their child after his death but, under the law, the samples will be destroyed within months. Mrs Warren admits she may never be ready to have her late husband’s child. But she needs more time to decide whether to have a baby who will never meet its father. She is not only grieving for her husband, but also her brother, Edward, a policeman who was killed in a car crash just weeks before Mr Brewer’s death in February 2012. Mrs Warren, who took her husband’s Christian name as her surname after his death, wants to be financially secure before bringing a child into the world. The physiotherapist from Birmingham said: ‘I am still trying to make myself happy again – you don’t have a child because you are lonely and heartbroken. I need to make myself whole again.  I want to be financially settled as well, so that my child can have everything I had. I am just a normal person who loved someone very, very much and lost them.’ Widow: Beth Warren, 28, has been told by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority that the sperm cannot be stored beyond April 2015 . After falling ill just ten months into . their relationship, Mr Brewer stored samples of sperm ahead of . gruelling cancer treatment that could leave him infertile. The storage . was time-limited and, over the years, he regularly extended it. He also explicitly agreed to the samples being used after his death. Now, . unless the storage period can be extended, the samples will be . destroyed in April 2015. This gives Mrs Warren little time to get over . her grief. Or to have IVF, a stressful and invasive process that may . have to be undergone several times. And even if she did have a baby soon, . the samples would be destroyed before she could use them to have the . equally longed-for second child. In . a case that will reignite the debate over the ethics of posthumous . conception, Mrs Warren is asking the High Court for the storage period . to be extended. Her solicitor James Lawford Davies said that her right to use the sperm in IVF is not in dispute. The legal issue is how long it can be stored for. The lawyer, whose firm is not charging for its work, said: ‘She would like to be able to make the decision when she is ready.’ The . fertility watchdog, the Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority, . said that it had ‘every sympathy’ with Mrs Warren. However, the storage . period cannot be extended without her husband’s consent. Mrs . Warren, who put her studies and career on hold to care for her dying . husband, said: ‘We just fell head over heels in love. It was a long time . ago that we made plans that when we are engaged and married we would . have children. ‘Ideally we’d have a boy and a girl and we talked about names. I am just trying to do the right thing.’ Mrs . Warren added: ‘‘I have the full support of Warren’s family in my legal . battle and in whatever decision I make, and they have told me how proud . they are of how I am dealing with the situation.’
Beth Warren, 28, from Birmingham said she needs more time to think . Her husband, Warren Brewer, died from a brain tumour in 2012 . The couple got married in a hospice six weeks before he passed away . His sperm was stored before he underwent radiotherapy treatment in 2005 . But fertility regulator has said the sample cannot be stored past April 2015 .

Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told CBS Chicago that DeFrances, a married father-of-three, was told on Friday he was being demoted as the company downsized. McCarthy said DeFrances, 'despondent over the fact that he got demoted', went into work this morning and demanded a one-on-one meeting with LaVoie. During the meeting, the Tower Lakes man allegedly pulled out a gun. As the two men struggled for the firearm, LaVoie was shot in the head and stomach with a 9mm semiautomatic handgun which was recovered at the scene. The gunman then fatally shot himself in the head. Police said LaVoie, the CEO, is in a 'grave' condition and his wife Jody has been notified. McCarthy said there was 'plenty of security in the building.

Asda, Sainsbury's, Tesco and Marks & Spencer wines have been given the stamp of approval by more than 300 wine experts. In fact tipples from four supermarket tipples were considered the best to pair with Christmas meals this festive season. Asda Extra Special El Meson Rioja Gran Reserva 2004 is perfect with roast turkey while vegetarians can pair their nut roast with Marks & Spencer Manzanilla Sherry. For Christmas pudding go for Sainsbury's Winemakers Selection Muscat Saint Jean de Minervois NV. Chocolate dessert is best matched with Tesco Finest* 10 YO Tawny Port, wine experts who judge for the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC) revealed. But if it's roast goose you're having then a Cono Sur 20 Barrels Pinot Noir 2012 suits. And salmon goes particularly well with a Xanadu Next of Kin Chardonnay 201, . The experts also shared top recommendations for everyday food and wine pairings, . Fish and chips should be partnered with Champagne, a full-bodied red goes with sausage and mash, and a slug of aged Riesling will soften a spicy Indian. But a full English breakfast is still best served with a cup of tea. Other suggestions include pairing a crisp Pinot Grigio with Chinese and serving pepperoni pizza with a glass of warm Chianti. The experts also suggested similar wine and grape varieties to help consumers discover new tipples instead of sticking to their old favourites. Sauvignon Blanc drinkers should try Pouilly Fumé while Zinfandel fans should replace it with a Primitivo. General manager of the International Wine and Spirit Competition Ewan Lacey said: 'For most, one of the biggest dilemmas of the festive season is choosing the wine for Christmas lunch. 'The IWSC works with the world's best drink experts and we wanted to share some of their top tips for buying wine and spirits.'
Judges from International Wine and Spirit Competition choose best wines . Festive food is best served with supermarkets' own brand labels . Experts also identified perfect pairings for fish and chips, curry, and pizza .

(CNN) -- The 2014 Golden Globes are in the books, and prognosticators will have plenty to work with as they try to predict the Oscar winners -- and, for that matter, the future of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." Relive the Golden Globes' most fascinating moments on our blog . 1. Tina and Amy dazzled again. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who earned praise for their hosting of last year's Golden Globes, started off this year's edition where they left off: rattling off zinger after zinger. George Clooney? He "would rather float into space and die rather than spend another minute with a woman close to his own age." Meryl Streep? Her success proves there are still great roles for "Meryl Streeps over 60." Actresses having to appeal to impossible physical standards? Matthew McConaughey lost 45 pounds for "Dallas Buyers Club," or "what actresses call 'being in a movie.' " The only downside of their hosting was there was much less of it than there could have been. Though the two popped up from time to time, after the opening segments they were primarily off stage (until Poehler won best actress in a TV comedy or musical series, anyway). Golden Globes: GIFs and best moments . 2. We have our Oscar front-runners. "12 Years a Slave" won best motion picture drama. "American Hustle" won best motion picture comedy or musical. "Gravity" won best director for Alfonso Cuaron. The rest of the possibilities -- "Inside Llewyn Davis," "Captain Phillips," "Dallas Buyers Club," "Nebraska" -- may get nominated for best picture, but they're even longer shots for the big prize than they were before the Globes. And best actress will likely boil down to a face-off between Cate Blanchett ("Blue Jasmine"), who won best actress in a drama, and Amy Adams ("American Hustle") who took home the same prize for musical or comedy. Keep up to date with the winners using our Awards Tracker . 3. On the other hand, Matthew McConaughey? And "Brooklyn Nine-Nine"? Though McConaughey has gotten terrific reviews for his performance in "Dallas Buyers Club," he was seen as a dark horse behind Chiwetel Ejiofor ("12 Years") and Robert Redford ("All is Lost"), not to mention perennial favorite Tom Hanks ("Captain Phillips"). But the Texas-born actor, who has given his acting career new life with such films as "Magic Mike," "Mud" and a small but pivotal performance in "The Wolf of Wall Street," has put himself in the forefront of the best actor conversation. All right, all right, all right! And on the TV side, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," which has suffered from middling ratings, may have gotten new life itself with its Globe wins as best TV series comedy or musical and for star Andy Samberg. E! apologies for Michael J. Fox 'Fun Fact' during Golden Globes . 4. It's a long walk to the winner's circle. Some stars took what seemed like ages to get to the stage to accept their trophies. They have to push past well-wishers -- bussing a few of them, naturally -- and wind their way through the Beverly Hilton's many full tables. Perhaps next year the Hollywood Foreign Press Association can invest in a few Segways. Ronan Farrow disses estranged dad Woody Allen's Golden Globes tribute . 5. Red is the color. The red carpet was reflected in the gowns of many of the actresses. "12 Years' " Lupita Nyong'o wore a dazzling cape-like gown; Taylor Swift's dress featured a maroon skirt; Drew Barrymore's flowy dress will filled with reddish flowers.

PARIS, France (CNN) -- Al Qaeda threatened to "take revenge" on France "by every means and wherever we can reach them" because of a debate in France over whether the burqa, a traditional Islamic woman's covering, violates French law, according to a statement posted on radical Islamist Web sites. A woman wears traditionnal Muslim dress in Venissieux, near Lyon, France. "We will not tolerate such provocations and injustices, and we will take our revenge from France," said the statement, signed by Abu Musab Abdul Wadud, calling himself "commander of al Qaeda in North Africa [Islamic Maghreb]." The statement is dated June 28, five days after French President Nicolas Sarkozy controversially told lawmakers that the traditional Muslim garment was "not welcome" in France. A day later, the French National Assembly announced the creation of an inquiry into whether women in France should be allowed to wear the garment. A cross-party panel of 32 lawmakers will investigate whether the burqa poses a threat to the secular nature of the French constitution. They are due to report back with their recommendations in six months. The al Qaeda statement accused France of "organizing its ranks to fight a new blatant war against our sisters wearing the burqa." CNN cannot verify the authenticity of the statement, which also accused the French of "committing all of these grievances in a time when we see their women flooding our nations, filling our shores, poorly dressed and nude in a deliberate defiance to the feelings of Muslims and in clear contempt to the teachings of the Islamic faith, traditions and norms." "Our Muslim brothers in France in particular and in Europe in general are increasingly troubled by the practices of the French politicians and their leaders, and their constant harassments of our people regarding the burqa issue," said the statement. "Yesterday they targeted the veil, today the burqa and maybe tomorrow their evil hands could be extended to defame our pillars of faith, like praying, fasting or the pilgrimage," it added. Sarkozy made the statement last week, in an address to parliament. "The problem of the burqa is not a religious problem. This is an issue of a woman's freedom and dignity. This is not a religious symbol. It is a sign of subservience; it is a sign of lowering. I want to say solemnly, the burqa is not welcome in France," Sarkozy said. The right of Muslim women to cover themselves is fiercely debated in France, which has a significant Muslim minority but also a staunchly secular constitution. In 2004, the French parliament passed legislation banning Muslim girls from wearing head scarves in state schools, prompting widespread Muslim protests. The law also banned other conspicuous religious symbols including Sikh turbans, large Christian crucifixes and Jewish skull caps. Last year, France's top court denied a Moroccan woman's naturalization request on the grounds that she wore a burqa. Between 5 and 10 percent of France's population of 64 million is Muslim, according to CIA estimates. The country does not collect its own statistics on religion in accordance with laws enshrining France's status as a secular state. France is not the only European Union country to consider banning the burqa. Dutch lawmakers voted in favor of a ban in 2005, although the government at the time left office before legislation could be passed.

By . Martin Robinson . PUBLISHED: . 06:34 EST, 19 April 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 07:58 EST, 19 April 2013 . Barred: The popular black cat plays with staff at the Stratford sorting office, but bosses want the animal out . A stray cat adopted by posties is to be evicted because Royal Mail bosses believe it breaches health and safety guidelines to have an animal on the premises. The black Tom has visited Stratford-upon-Avon's sorting office every day for the past five years, putting a smile on the . faces of staff - just like Postman Pat and his beloved companion . Jess. He has been adopted by 100 staff but is facing a workplace ban after managers ruled he was a risk, adding it was not 'ideal' having a cat around . Royal Mail staff have fed and cared for him since 2008 and say the feline, who they just call 'Cat', has become part of the team. Almost 1,000 people have joined a Facebook group called 'Save Our Cat' in less than a week, and inspired on Twitter, with . #savethestratfordcat trending. A postman who has worked there for 13 years, who wanted to remain anonymous 'because we could probably lose our jobs for this', said: 'We can't see the reason why he has to go because he doesn't harm anyone. It's pathetic. It is a pointless exercise, why are they trying to do it?' Another worker, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals, said: 'The area manager came in and said "the cat has to go for health and safety reasons". 'We are all angry and upset. It is health and safety gone mad. The cat does not do anything wrong. Everyone has a bond with the cat. He is part of the team and the furniture, he has done five years service. He is ours. He gets lots of fuss and cuddles and has even got its own ball and stash of food'. Friend: The cat, known as 'Cat', is shown here on the sorting office's steps, but he is about to be rehoused . A third staff member added: 'He has been there longer than most of the managers so how can they possibly demand its eviction? He does not get in anyone's way or cause problems, it just sits around. He's here when we open up at 3.30am and he's usually the last to leave at night. 'We are in uproar. It is our cat. It is ludicrous'. Postwoman San Smith posted on the Facebook page: 'Save the Cat, he was with me through my interview in the chair beside me, please save the cat :)' Alexander Gibbons, who works at the sorting office, said: 'Postman Pat has a cat on delivery. Together, we will save this poor b*****. Look how cute he is! :)' Kerry Bambridge, another postal worker, said: 'Save our cat! If it makes a difference ill get the tipex out so he's white too and call him Jess!' (sic) Relaxed: The popular cat has visited every day for the past five years, and eats and sleeps on the premises as the postal workers love him . Cherylyn Pitcher said: 'It's never Postman Pat without Jess', while Sharon Brown posted: #Come on fellas, we can do this, beat the royal mail nd save the cat' (sic). Royal Mail confirmed they were looking for a sanctuary that would take in 'Cat' and a transport cage appeared at the depot earlier this week. A Royal Mail spokesman said: 'Although this stray cat has become a . regular visitor to the good natured postmen and women in our sorting . office, we will be speaking to a local animal welfare charity to find a . suitable permanent loving home for the stray.' Sad: Despite a campaign by staff and local people, bosses are said to have brought this cat transporter in, ready to move the stray cat on . Home: The cat wanders in freely but Royal Mail want it stopped and the cat moved on as soon as possible . But the employees think the owner lives nearby the depot and say it would be wrong for Royal Mail to re-home the helpless puss. 'We gave him a collar but it was taken off. We tried to find a home for him but he has never wanted to go home,' another said. Local people have condemned Royal Mail with many saying 'shame on them' over the red-tape madness. Kado Crocker said: 'What a shame that H/S are getting rid of this cat. Don't they know he could keep vermin down. Also its beneficial too workers so they work better and more relaxedWhat are they going too do with him if he cant be found a home.'

A pregnant Texas woman has been stabbed multiple times by an intruder as her horrified soldier husband serving overseas helplessly watched the attack play out in real time on video chat. Rachel Poole, 31, was talking to her husband, Justin Pele Poole, on FaceTime Wednesday night when a man identified as 19-year-old Corey Moss broke into their El Paso home and lunged at her with a knife. According to an arrest affidavit obtained by KFOX14, Mrs Poole recognized her assailant as a man who owed her husband money and screamed out his name. Horror show: Rachel Poole (left), who is nine months pregnant, was stabbed multiple times by an intruder in her home as her husband Justin (right), who is deployed overseas, watched in horror on video chat . Ambush: El Paso police say Moss went to the Pooles' home in the 9400 block of Wichita Circle, broken in and waited for Rachel to come home . The 31-year-old mother-to-be, who is nine months pregnant, was rushed to University Medical Center in critical condition suffering from multiple stab wounds and fractures to her body and face. Doctors said her unborn baby girl, who is due in a week, was in good condition. The couple plan to name her Isabella. According to police, the wounded victim was able to call 911 and give the name of the suspect to police. Meanwhile, Justin Poole called the 19-year-old's co-workers, who helped apprehend Moss and seized the knife allegedly used in the attack. Suspect: Cory Bernard Moss, 19, allegedly admitted to the knife attack, which was reportedly sparked by a money dispute . Following his arrest, police said Moss admitted to stabbing Rachel Poole . The teenager has been charged with criminal attempted capital murder and was ordered held on $60,000 bond. Neighbors told KFOX14 they that Moss owed the Pooles money for car repairs because he had borrowed a vehicle from them and wrecked it. According to El Paso police, Moss, a soldier attached to Fort Bliss, went to the Pooles' home in the 9400 block of Wichita Circle to talk to Rachel about the money he owed her husband. The woman wasn't home, so the 19-year-old allegedly forced his way into the house and lay in ambush, waiting for Mrs Poole to return. When Poole came home, she opened the Apple video chat program FaceTime on her phone and began talking to her husband, who is stationed in southwest Asia. Joy and sorrow: Mr Poole (top right) wrote that their unborn baby girl (bottom right) is doing fine, but his wife (left) had lost an eye . A short time later, police say Moss came out of hiding and surprised Rachel Poole from behind, repeatedly stabbing her with a foldout stainless steel knife and beating her. According to the affidavit, the victim instantly recognized Moss as her husband's debtor and yelled out his name several times so Justin could hear it over the phone. Following the attack, police say Moss fled and called a co-worker to pick him up and drive him to Fort Bliss. Meanwhile, Justin Pele Poole called Moss' colleagues to alert them of the suspect’s imminent return to the military base. The 19-year-old's co-workers intercepted him and found the knife in the car where he was riding. Fort Bliss spokesman Joe Buccino said that Army Pvt Poole has been deployed in southwest Asia for the past nine months, HLN-TV reported. Long distance: Army Pvt Pele Poole, pictured left and right with his wife, has spent the past nine months serving in southwest Asia . He is scheduled to arrive home in El Paso sometime today, and is not likely to be sent back to his overseas posting in the wake of the attack on his wife. On Wednesday, a furious Justin Pele Poole took to his Facebook page to express his anger with the situation, writing in part: 'I promised to give my life for this freedom not the other way around. I failed her but never again.’ This afternoon, the soldier wrote on his page that he had the 'hardest conversation' of his life with his wounded wife over the phone. According to Poole, Rachel told him that she had lost an eye in the attack and asked him if it was a 'deal breaker' for him. ‘My wife is my wife til I'm no longer breathing,’ the serviceman wrote. ‘No man can change that and though I was not here to protect her this time it will never happen again that's my word.’

The Queen's Corgis have been a regular sight during her reign but she has ruled out introducing any new dogs . The Queen photographed in Windsor Great Park taking snaps of her Corgis in the 1960s . 'The fact is she worries about too many dogs around her feet and the danger she will trip up and hurt herself badly. She is after all 88 and not getting any younger. 'Her corgis are getting on a bit and move along at a sedate speed but a young dog would obviously be very lively and much more active.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's local petting farm has banned photos on the premises to ensure the privacy of royal visitors, it is claimed. Prince George, one, and his mother are said to regularly visit the animals at Bucklebury Farm, near Reading, Berkshire, which is close to Duchess's parents' home, Bucklebury Manor. Now staff at the petting zoo have put signs up banning visitors from taking 'unauthorised photographs ... of other guests,' reports The Sun. Scroll down for video . Please, no pictures: Bucklebury Farm Park, the location of Prince George's favourite petting zoo, has banned visitors from taking photographs of other visitors in an effort to ensure the privacy of the heir to the throne . It comes after armed close-protection police surrounded a family after their car broke down on the way to Bucklebury Farm for fear they might be terrorists with a royal target. Set in 77 acres of Berkshire countryside, Bucklebury Farm Park offers deer watching, nature walks, indoor play and tractor rides, as well as the petting zoo. It is highly rated on comparison websites, but locals were not impressed with the farm management's intervention with one telling The Sun's Emily Andrews it felt like an 'overreaction'. 'Every photo we take there, even of our own children, could unwittingly capture other people and their kids,' said the local. 'I took my daughter there the other day and saw Kate's mother with George and his nanny. I thought about taking a photo and decided not to. 'But protection officers still came over to us and challenged us. They were quite difficult about it.' Very important persons: Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge pictured with their son Prince George in April. She now has to deal with looking after a tireless one-year-old while pregnant . Popular attraction: Set in 77 acres of Berkshire countryside, Bucklebury Farm Park offers deer watching, nature walks, indoor play and tractor rides, as well as the petting zoo . The attraction describes itself as a family-friendly day out with deer safaris, nature trails and farm animals on the 77-acre site. Animals include reindeer, llamas, pygmy goats, donkeys, chickens, ponies, cattle, wild boar and even a 'guinea pig village'. Older children can also pan for gold, hitch a ride on the zip wire, drive a go-kart, climb a lookout tower or just stay in the playground. The farm hosts a gold birthday party package including a hot dog and chips meal - though cuddly piglets from the gift shop cost extra. Last month it emerged the Duchess of Cambridge, 32, had taken refuge with her parents in Bucklebury, while 'struggling terribly' with debilitating antenatal sickness. Sources said the Duchess 'hasn't been at all well' as she battles hyperemesis gravidarum, which causes severe vomiting in expectant mothers. The whole area has since been subject to massively tightened security, as one family found out when their car broke down on the way to a day out at Bucklebury Farm. Adam De Marco, 40, his partner Claire Lennon, 39, and their daughter Mia, seven, were on a family day out in Bucklebury, near Newbury, Berkshire, when their BMW's tyre punctured. Their stricken vehicle quickly attracted the attention of royal minders, who ordered them out of the car, they said. But the security men put away their guns when they realised what had happened. The family say they later spotted Kate, her mother Carole Middleton and Prince George at the nearby farm. Adam De Marco, 40, his partner Claire Lennon, 39, and their daughter Mia, seven, were on a family day out in Bucklebury, near Newbury, Berkshire, when their BMW's tyre punctured and they were surrounded by police . Mrs Middleton has apparently helped to take charge of her recovery and has been researching alternative sickness cures, such as herbal tea, on the internet. And despite the presence of Spanish nanny Maria Borallo, Mrs Middleton has also been taking George off her daughter's hands. She has been seen in local shops with her 15-month-old grandson, prompting one startled assistant to write on Twitter: 'Served Kate Middleton's mum and Prince George today at work. He is gorgeous!' The Duchess says she feels far more relaxed at the Middleton family's £5million Georgian mansion, Bucklebury Manor, than at Kensington Palace. One source told the Mail: 'Kate is feeling so lousy that she just wanted to be with her family and out of public view. 'She is extremely close to Carole, who is very much a hands-on grandmother. Between her and their nanny, Maria, Kate has all the help she needs with George while she is feeling so sick. 'And Bucklebury is somewhere she can just relax and be herself.' Elizabeth Hartley Russell, whose family owns the Bucklebury Estate, told MailOnline the policy was a 'moral issue' to protect children's privacy and was brought in after the Leveson inquiry. She said: 'It's not been done to protect any individual - it's been done to protect the rights of children. 'We're a family farm park. We're not here for people to take pictures of other people and put them on Twitter and Facebook. 'We've had children of actors, TV presenters and politicians. All sorts of people have come to visit the farm over a period, as they have to other family attractions. We're not alone in this. 'It's been a long-standing policy that we've had, and it's something we feel very strongly about.' She added in an e-mail statement: 'This is something of a storm in a tea cup, as our polite request is purely for no unauthorised photographs of other guests not a blanket ban on photography. 'Nor has it been done in relation to any one individual. Like any operator of a family visitor attraction, we are acutely conscious of the rights of the child – any child – to enjoy the freedom and privacy afforded by family days out at venues such as ours. 'The joy of special family moments such as these must be something that all parents and carers identify with and cherish.'

Staffers working on The Late Show with David Letterman have revealed the bizarre requests Bill Cosby would make before his appearances. Sources told the New York Daily News the 77-year-old would demand that 'young girls, interns and assistants' sit down and watch him eat curry backstage in the Green Room before the interviews. They described how no one would say anything, but the comedian allegedly would still make them stay until he finished his meal. He last appeared on the CBS talk show in January. Scroll down for video . Claims: Female staffers working behind the scenes at The Late Show with David Letterman have revealed the comedian made bizarre requests before his appearance. He was last on the sofa in January 2014 (pictured) As historic sexual assault allegations against Cosby continue to resurface, his next scheduled appearance with Letterman was cancelled. He has also recently been dropped from Queen Latifah's talk show and has not commented on the allegations during interviews. The employees told the paper that producers would make them do it because 'that’s what he (Cosby) wanted', even though they admitted not liking the pre-show scenario. The revelations come as Cosby's 'fixer' for NBC claimed that he helped the funnyman channel star funnel thousands of dollars to a virtual harem of young women he kept as the The Cosby Show was filmed. Frank Scotti, 90, told the Daily News on Sunday that he acted as a conduit through whom the actor sent lady pals funds and as a guard at Cosby's dressing room door when those women visited. After decades, Scotti's even saved receipts from money orders he says he gave those women for Cosby. One of those women, Shawn Thompson, had a daughter named Autumn Jackson who would claim Cosby was her father. Allegations: Employees claimed before Cosby went on the show he ask for 'young girls, interns and assistants' to sit down and watch him eat curry backstage before the interviews . In recent days, 15 women have gone public accusing Cosby of sexually assaulting them. His lawyer Martin Singer has said branded the stories 'increasingly ridiculous' and 'passed the point of absurdity. In a statement released on Friday, he said: 'The new, never-before-heard claims from women who have come forward in the past two weeks with unsubstantiated, fantastical stories about things they say occurred 30, 40, or even 50 years ago have escalated far past the point of absurdity. 'These brand new claims about alleged decades-old events are becoming increasingly ridiculous, and it is completely illogical that so many people would have said nothing, done nothing, and made no reports to law enforcement or asserted civil claims if they thought they had been assaulted over a span of so many years.' The comedian, who has been performing on stage despite the resurgence of allegations, stayed silent during a radio interview with NPR and pressured the Associated Press not to broadcast an interview where he was asked about the rape allegations. He was given two standing ovations when he appeared before an enthusiastic audience in Melbourne, Florida, on Friday night. The audience cheered as he walked on the stage and again when he completed his 90-minute performance. Moving forward: In recent days, 15 women have gone public accusing Cosby of sexually assaulting them. His lawyer Martin Singer has said branded the stories 'increasingly ridiculous' Many in the audience even shouted for an encore at the end of the show, but Cosby did not reappear. On the same day Law & Order: SVU star Michelle Hurd came forward to say that Cosby acted highly inappropriately towards her when she was a stand-in on The Cosby Show, and claimed that she knows of one woman on set who woke up drugged at his apartment. Ten women have come forward in the last month saying they were attacked by Cosby, with Renita Chaney Hill, Louisa Moritz and Andrea Leslie the latest additions. Four of the women claim they were teenagers at the time. One of the accusers is supermodel Janice Dickinson, who claims that during a dinner in 1982 the actor gave her a pill and when she woke up he was on top of her. Another four ladies; Barbara Bowman, Joan Tarshis, Tamara Green and Therese Serignese have all shared remarkably similar stories in which they claim to have shared a drink or a pill with Cosby and then woken up after or while they say he was sexually assaulting them. Also coming forward recently is Carla Ferrigno, wife of Incredible Hulk star Lou Ferrigno, who says Cosby tried to sexually assault her during a gathering at his house in 1967.
Employees claimed they would sit in silence while the comedian ate . Producers allegedly made them do it because 'that's what he wanted' His next planned appearance on the CBS chat show has been cancelled .

as one of the worst public art eyesores.
By . Jack Doyle for the Daily Mail . Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said the National Crime Agency has details of suspects but lacks the resources to investigate them all . The Government’s flagship anti-crime agency is failing to investigate up to 25,000 paedophiles suspected of downloading child pornography, Yvette Cooper said today. The shadow home secretary said the National Crime Agency has details of the suspects but lacks the resources to investigate them all. She told Labour Party conference in Manchester the lack of action could leave children at risk. She said: The National Crime Agency has the detail of over 25,000 people suspected of downloading vile abusive images of children online.’ ‘But they have only investigated and arrested 660 suspects and they say the police don’t have the capacity to investigate them all. ‘But the police arrest 230,000 people a year for theft. 110,000 for drug offences. Why don’t they have the capacity to investigate 25,000 cases where children may be at risk? ‘The truth is this is not just about capacity it’s about priority. ‘Theresa May says crime is falling and we don’t need as many police. I say crime is changing and we need police and Home Office action to keep our children safe. Miss Cooper also said Labour would take action to deport thousands more European foreign criminals including violent thugs – who are currently allowed to remain in the country. At the moment, she said their offences were not deemed serious enough to warrant being kicked out of the country. Labour would ditch the current requirement for criminals to have received a sentence of two years or more – or 12 months for sexual, violent or drugs crimes – before they can be deported. Instead, she said, anyone who commits a crime like common assault – and who has lived in the UK for as little as six months – should be considered for automatic removal. Repeat offenders, such as prolific thieves, could also qualify for immediate removal under the new rules. It also emerged Labour is to hit thousands of pubs and clubs with a late night opening tax – in a blunt admission of the chaos caused by 24-hour drinking laws. In 2003 Tony Blair opened the door to round-the-clock drinking with the claim that it would lead to a European style café culture. Instead, it unleashed a wave of booze-fuelled violence across the country, with police comparing towns and cities to the Wild West. Miss Cooper said drinking venues wanting to open beyond midnight will be forced to cough up thousands of pounds in the areas with the most alcohol licences. It will mean pubs, bars and clubs facing an additional charge of up to £4,400 a year if they want to stay open late. Aides said extending the current Government’s Late Night Levy to 100 areas would raise £12million which would be handed to the police and local authorities to help pay for clean-up costs and put extra officers on the street. The policy was drawn up by Theresa May in an effort to control drinking excess – but it has been adopted by only a handful of councils. Miss Cooper's husband Ed Balls (centre) watches her speech in the conference hall, as she said Labour would take action to deport thousands more European foreign criminals including violent thugs . Labour officials said the levy had proved ‘ineffective’ and only raised ten per cent of the £17million ministers hoped for. A spokesman said: ‘Theresa May talks a good game, but she isn't finding savings to help the police protect the frontline. We want to see proper enforcement of the Late Night Levy for the top 100 licensing authorities.’ However, the move will leave Labour open to the charge that it is trying to put the ‘genie back in the bottle’ from a problem it created. Earlier this month, senior police officers made a desperate plea for moderation in drinking as they admitted defeat in tackling Britain’s excessive boozing culture. The country’s most senior officer responsible for alcohol-related crime called for an end to the attitude which tolerates out-of-control drunkenness as ‘normal’. Chief Constable Adrian Lee also admitted officers’ efforts to combat booze fuelled yobbishness and violence had ‘barely scratched the surface’ of a problem that is ‘blighting our communities’. He also called for much tougher action against the alcohol industry, a clampdown on cheap booze and more action to combat criminals with alcohol problems. Since 2007, the number of town centres and neighbourhoods officially classed as being overrun by problem pubs and bars has rocketed by 150 per cent.

By . Harriet Hernando . The only clue that this ordinary-looking van gives to show it’s not just your average Transit is the chimney protruding from the roof. This leads down to a wood burner and into the interior of the former window-glazing van, which a pair of university graduates have converted into a caravan. Former Leeds Metropolitan University students Stuart Humphreys, 24, and Claire Bragg, 25, spent just over £6,000 and two years transforming their second-hand van into what will be their home while they travel around Europe. Hidden world: Claire Bragg, 25, and Stuart Humphreys, 24, spent £6,000 converting this second-hand van into a mobile home . Innocuous: From the outside, the Ford Transit looks like any other van, save for the chimney which leads to a wood burner on the inside . Postal worker Ms Bragg has been granted a sabbatical from her job, while chef Mr Humphreys is taking a break from the kitchens. Ms Bragg said: ‘We really like the freedom of it, we can go wherever we like, do whatever we like, whenever we like.’ There are however some drawbacks to their new life. No toilet means the nearest bush will have to suffice and a bath will depend on local rivers and streams. Dreadlocked Mr Humphreys wasn’t fazed though. He said: ‘I’m a stinky hippy, I barely shower anyway!’ Mr Humphreys, who is 6ft 2ins, will also have to contend with the compact space. Room for three: Mr Humphreys, who is 6ft tall, plans to sleep in the foetal position in the tiny bed . Compact: The inside of the van, which is 1.7 metres by 1.8 metres, contains a bed, kitchen and wood burner . While the van seems to contain all the mod cons, it does not however contain a toilet . Mr Humphreys, 24, and and Ms Bragg, 25, from Leeds, plan to travel in the van around Europe . The living area measures 1.7 metres wide by 1.8 metres. He said: ‘I have to sleep diagonally in the foetal position.’ Starting from scratch with a Ford Transit T300 that belonged to a window-glazing company, the couple spent two years transforming the 2007 van into their dream home. Mr Humphries said: ‘The hardest part was adding the insulation to the van - that took three months alone.’ Mr Humphreys and Ms Bragg insulated their van before installing the rest of the fittings . Stuart Humphreys, 25, pictured inside the van, bought the Ford Transit for £3,500. Two years and £6,020 later he converted it into a dream caravan . Next they installed a bed, an oven, and pine cupboards. A wood burner provides heating on cold nights, while a solar panel on the roof powers electronic devices.

Mr Humphries said: ‘We could plug in a 300 watt amp if we wanted and hold our own mini-festival out of the van.’ But the trip will be far from a holiday, as the couple plan to work on local farms and even forage food to save money. Mr Humphries said: ‘We hope to eat as much food as we can catch and do fruit-picking, or any sort of farm work to supplement our adventure.’ The couple, who have been together for three years, will travel by ferry to Holland, continue on to Germany and Scandinavia, then return through Eastern Europe. Ms Bragg said: ‘We’re planning to follow the sun, spending winter in the warm countries and summer in the cooler countries.’ They have registered their vehicle as a camper van to avoid being charged higher costs on ferries and insurance. Mr Humphries said: ‘We were worried the DVLA would not accept the vehicle as a camper van but they were satisfied with the pictures and changed the log book for us.’ You can follow their adventure on their blog - www.europebyvan.wordpress.com .

(CNN) -- Yahoo has announced a plan to "recycle" old e-mail addresses, a move meant to free up accounts for folks who want them but that has sparked privacy concerns. In a blog post, senior vice president Jay Rossiter announced that Yahoo e-mail accounts that have been dormant for more than a year will be reset so that active users can have access to them. "If you're like me, you want a Yahoo! ID that's short, sweet, and memorable like [email protected] instead of [email protected]," he wrote. The one-year period will officially begin July 15, when users can "claim" a dormant account name. They'll find out in mid-August if they got the account they wanted. It's clearly an effort by Yahoo, which has been working to redefine and rejuvenate itself under new CEO Marissa Mayer, to re-engage older users and reward active ones. But it has security experts nervous. Security analyst Graham Cluley doesn't mince words. "In short: as an idea it sucks, and it shows Yahoo's lack of respect to customers who created accounts with them in years gone by," Cluley wrote Wednesday. Cluley lists several scenarios where the plan could backfire. They include situations in which a user has another primary e-mail account, but has given their Yahoo address as a backup in case of security situations, lost passwords and the like. He said the move appears to be "an underhanded way to get people to re-engage with the site" and that people who may not actively use their Yahoo mail, but use it to store old messages and other documents, could lose them without ever realizing it. Mat Honan of CNN content partner Wired, himself the recent victim of a high-profile hack, called the move "a spectacularly bad idea." In the wake of such complaints, Yahoo released a followup statement saying it's sure the transition can be made without compromising security. "We're committed and confident in our ability to do this in a way that's safe, secure and protects our users' data," the company said. The vast majority of inactive Yahoo IDs don't have a mailbox associated with them, the company said, and any personal data associated with the accounts will be deleted. During a 30-day deactivation period, bounce-back e-mails will alert senders that the deactivated account no longer exists and Yahoo will unsubscribe those accounts from newsletters, commercial e-mail alerts and the like. Businesses, financial institutions, social networks and other e-mail providers will be sent notifications about e-mail addresses that have been deactivated. See also: Behind Yahoo's Tumblr gamble .

Mount Everest, Nepal (CNN) -- Even from more than 21,000 feet up the world's tallest mountain, 13-year-old Jordan Romero couldn't resist the opportunity to greet his mother in a live television broadcast Monday. "Hi, Mom," Romero said with a wave of his hand during the interview broadcast on CNN from the advance base camp on Mount Everest in Nepal. The interview followed the first day of real climbing in Romero's attempt to become the youngest person ever to reach the summit of Everest, 29,028 feet (8,847 meters) above sea level. Accompanied by his father and his father's girlfriend, and backed by a team of sherpas and yaks that helped transport their 2,000 kilograms (4,400 pounds) of gear, Romero needed 13 days just to reach the point where real climbing began. Paul Romero, Jordan's father, said the first day of the actual ascent Monday required technical climbing in tough weather conditions, including ice and snow. For Jordan, it's all part of the journey. "It could take ... a couple of weeks or a couple of years," he said, sitting in a tent wearing a parka and fluorescent yellow cap, and with a blue sleeping bag over his legs. "This is the first of many attempts." His initial impressions? The trip is both hard and great. "It's Mount Everest. It's a tough mountain. The altitude is tough," Romero said. "It's both physically and technically hard. There's a lot of new things." At the same time, "I've been able to see Mount Everest from wherever I go. I'm already happy with that." In addition, Romero said, he was learning "a lot about culture, politics, religion, people, everything about Nepal and China." "So it's been such a great trip, and I've learned so much from it," he said. Paul Romero praised his son's climbing Monday, noting that they spent 10 hours on ice and snow. "Knock on wood, everybody's healthy," the elder Romero said, adding: "Jordan today had a stellar day." Before they started, Jordan said he wanted to climb Everest for himself and to inspire more young people to get outdoors. "Obese children are the future of America, the way things are going," he said on April 9 in Kathmandu. "I am hoping to change that by doing what I do: climbing and motivational speaking. I want to motivate children and inspire them to get outdoors." With a smile, he added: "I am doing this a little for myself, too, to do something big." Romero has climbed five of the seven highest peaks on seven continents, known as the Seven Summits. Having a very encouraging father and his girlfriend, who have gone around the world participating in climbing expeditions and competing in endurance racing competitions, certainly helps. "This is not an isolated vacation," Paul Romero said before the climbing began. "This is a lifestyle. We travel everywhere and climb together." The family started tackling the Seven Summits in summer 2005. Jordan was just 9 when they climbed the 19,341 feet to the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Since there is a debate about whether the tallest mountain in Oceania is Kosciuszko in mainland Australia or Carstensz Pyramid in Indonesia, Jordan and his family climbed both. The only peak left for the adventurers to climb after Everest is the Vinson Massif in Antarctica; a trip is planned for December. The idea to climb the Seven Summits came to Jordan when he saw a mural of the mountains in the hallway of his school when he was 9. Before sharing his dream with his father, he did all the necessary research and only two weeks later told him of his ambition. "I was very shocked he even knew what the Seven Summits were," Paul Romero recalled. "But then, he is a complete nature fanatic." Jordan's father and his girlfriend, Karen Lundgren, went to Kathmandu for the first time last year to see whether Jordan could make the Everest summit from the south face in Nepal. They decided instead to start their climb in the north, in China. "The mountaineering world and Jordan may have their concerns about Jordan's age, but the boy is as strong and skilled a mountaineer as many of the people climbing," Paul Romero said. "There is a proficient support and safety system about him." The highest peak Jordan has climbed is Aconcagua in Argentina, which stands at 22,841 feet. He spent weeks preparing for the ascent of Everest. "I have been exercising hard, concentrating on cardio training and endurance training," Jordan said before the trip. "I have been sleeping in an altitude simulator tent for the past month to get my lungs ready." Jordan has been an outdoor person all his life and takes kids to climb mountains in the Big Bear region of California, where he lives. Despite his achievements, Jordan wants to be seen as a regular kid. "I try to seem like an average kid who happens to be climbing," he said this month. "But I'm not really fitting in."
13-year-old Californian aims to become youngest to climb world's highest mountain . "It's both physically and technically hard," he says . But he is learning a lot about culture and people of China, Nepal .

The cardinals who must pick a successor to Pope Benedict XVI after he steps down on February 28 could meet to make the decision sooner than thought, a Vatican spokesman said Saturday. The conclave, the meeting which will bring together the 117 cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, could start before March 15 if all the cardinals are already in Rome, Father Federico Lombardi said. Lombardi had previously said the conclave was likely to start between March 15 and 19. But he gave new details Saturday, saying that because the pope had resigned rather than the conclave being triggered by his death, there was scope for the time frame to be brought forward. The decision may not come until after Benedict's departure and lies in the hands of the cardinals, he added. Opinion: Pope Benedict shows true leadership by resigning . Benedict is the first pope to step down in nearly 600 years, throwing the Vatican into some confusion. Experts are working on points of the Apostolic Constitution that need to be clarified or interpreted, Lombardi said, and are expected to give pointers on the new protocol soon. Lombardi said he had met with the pope Saturday morning and found him "calm and relaxed even in these so emotional days." Benedict, 85, shocked the world Monday when he announced his intention to stand down at the end of the month, citing the frailty of old age. Read more: Huge challenges await next pope . While Benedict won't be directly involved in his successor's selection, his influence will undoubtedly be felt. He appointed 67 of the 117 cardinals that are set to make the decision. More than two-thirds of the final number of cardinals must agree on the next pope. The announcement that a decision has been made will come in the form of a puff of white smoke emerging from a chimney in the Vatican. Benedict will hold a final audience in Vatican City's St. Peter's Square on February 27, but the church is not planning a formal ceremony to mark the pope's departure, Lombardi said. The pontiff, born Joseph Ratzinger, will first go by helicopter to the pope's summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, Lombardi said. He could remain at Castel Gondolfo until the end of April or early May while the works to ready a new residence for him in a monastery within the Vatican are completed, Lombardi said. Once there, he will devote himself to a life of reflection and prayer. Lombardi told reporters that the pope's decision shouldn't be seen only as negative, but rather as a lucid and responsible choice that he had taken for the good of the Church. Benedict wants the new pontiff to have the physical and moral vigor necessary to take on the necessary reforms of the Church, Lombardi said, adding that it will be up to the new pope and the cardinals to establish their priorities. Benedict's decision to remain in Vatican City has a practical as well as a spiritual motivation, he said. His presence will enable him to support his successor and the rest of the clergy, Lombardi said, although he dismissed the idea that Benedict would interfere as the new pope takes charge. The last pope to step down before his death was Gregory XII, who in 1415 quit to end a civil war within the church in which more than one man claimed to be pope. When do you know it's time to go?

Rome (CNN) -- Missing: One small, round, golden container. Contents: The blood of the late, soon-to-be-canonized Pope John Paul II. If found, please notify Italian police and the church of San Pietro della Ienca. Officers from the Carabinieri, Italy's military police, plan to comb the nearby mountains where John Paul used to vacation before his death in 2005, hoping to find tracks in the snow that will lead them to whoever broke into the church and stole the item over the weekend, Carabinieri Col. Savino Guarino said. But investigators are also searching for the relic -- which holds a square bloodstained piece of cloth about 2 cm (3/4 inch) -- all over Italy, he said. The relic and a golden cross were the only things stolen from San Pietro, located near the city of L'Aquila in the Abruzzo region, church members said. Pasquale Corriere, who helped restore the church, said the sanctuary was closed Friday and Saturday because of bad weather. Corriere suggested the thieves were looking specifically for the relic, since nothing else was touched -- not even the boxes that hold money for charity. John Paul's former secretary, Cardinal Stanisław Dziwisz, gave the relic to the church in 2011 "to thank us for all that we did" for the visiting pontiff, said Corriere's daughter Franca. "I think it was stolen by someone very faithful to John Paul II," she said. "Really, I can't imagine who the thieves are. My only wish is that the relic is returned to us as soon as possible." Guarino wouldn't comment on any possible motive for the theft. He said more than 50 carabinieri will be out searching Tuesday if the weather improves. John Paul II led the Roman Catholic Church for more than 26 years. The church plans to recognize him as a saint in April, along with Pope John XXIII, who is revered for his role in the Second Vatican Council. Man tries to sell stolen brains on eBay .

The world's first hybrid plane that can recharged itself mid flight has been successfully tested, it has been reported. The aircraft has been created by a team at Cambridge University, working with Boeing, who carried out the maiden flight at Sywell Aerodrome, in Northampton. But passengers won't be boarding a hybrid plane any time soon, as a jetline would only be able to stay airborne for a matter of minutes. The demonstration aircraft is powered by parallel hybrid-electric propulsion system and is said to use 30 per cent less fuel than petrol only planes, Cambridge University said. The world's first hybrid plane, created by a team at Cambridge University, working with Boeing, has successfully been tested . The hybrid plane is said to use 30 per cent less fuel than petrol only planes . The aircraft, which is based on a commercially available singe seater, is also able to recharge its batteries in flight. Based on a commercially available single seater, the aircraft is also able to recharge its batteries in flight. During the tests the plane performed a series of 'hops' along the runway, before a flight at over 1,500 feet. The plane, whose hybrid engine was designed and built by engineers at Cambridge with Boeing funding support, works by the same principle as a hybrid car. During take off, when it needs most power, it uses both the petrol engine and the electric motor, but once cruising height is reached the electric motor can be switched onto generator mode. This will then recharge the batteries or it can be switched to motor assist mode to save fuel. 'Although hybrid cars have been available for more than a decade, what's been holding back the development of hybrid or fully-electric aircraft until now is battery technology,' said Dr Paul Robertson of Cambridge's Department of Engineering, who led the project. 'Until recently, they have been too heavy and didn't have enough energy capacity. But with the advent of improved lithium-polymer batteries, similar to what you'd find in a laptop computer, hybrid aircraft – albeit at a small scale – are now starting to become viable.' Dr Robertson said that while this is an is an important step in the development of hybrid or fully-electric aircraft, more research is required before commercial airliners will be powered entirely with electric motors. Currently if all the engines and all the fuel in a modern aircraft were replaced by batteries, it would have a total flying time of roughly ten minutes.

Michael Shrimpton, 57, is facing jail after being found guilty of phoning Parliament in April 2012 to say the Queen was the target of a nuclear attack . A barrister who claimed that German spies were plotting to attack the Queen with a nuclear weapon at the London Olympics has been found guilty of communicating false information. Michael Shrimpton, 57, called a close colleague of former Defence Secretary Philip Hammond in April 2012 to say that a nuclear warhead had been stashed in an east London hospital and was going to be used to attack either the Queen, the Olympic Stadium, or the opening ceremony. He also claimed his house in Wendover, Buckinghamshire, was a 'bona fide' HQ for an international intelligence network - but he is today facing jail after being found guilty at Southwark Crown Court. A jury of nine men and three women found Shrimpton guilty of two counts of communicating false information after more than six hours of deliberation, with majority 11-1 verdicts. Sentencing will take place in February of next year after Judge Alistair McCreath QC ordered that Shrimpton be sent for psychiatric evaluation. Judge McCreath said: ‘The sentence that I pass upon you will have to reflect that gravity of the conduct of which you have been convicted. ‘But if, as may be the case, there is some underlying reason for it, then it seems to me important that I be informed of that underlying reason and I am therefore minded to order that you undergo psychiatric examination.’ Shrimpton, author of ‘Spyhunter: The Secret History of German Intelligence’, replied he had ‘no objection’ to the order. In April 2012, just as preparations for the London Olympics were entering their final phase, Shrimpton contacted Barry Burton, the principal private secretary to Philip Hammond. He told Mr Burton that spies from ‘a covert and rather sinister’ Germany agency had sabotaged Russian submarine Kursk, which sank in 2000, and stole four nuclear warheads. The lawyer boasted of ‘credible European sources’, name-dropped members of parliament, and said intelligence had been blocked through official channels because the Germans had infiltrated MI5, MI6 and GCHQ. During the 20-minute call Shrimpton said he had gathered intelligence from his own network of volunteers that one warhead was being stored in a hospital in London to avoid detection. Mr Burton suspected that the call had been a hoax, but was forced to pass the information over to the Olympic security team and the police. The following day Shrimpton phoned the Aylesbury Conservative Association and asked to speak with MP David Lidington about the threat, which he described as being in the style of American TV show '24'. The call was reported to a colleague at Parliament, and Shrimpton was arrested the same day. Shrimpton called a close colleague of then Defence Secretary Philip Hammond to say German spies had looted four nuclear warheads from a sunken Russia sub and were hiding one in London for the attack . Shrimpton claimed his arrest was a ‘colossal cock-up’, blamed the Germans and demanded a ‘nice lunch with MI5’. In interview at Aylesbury police station he boasted he was a ‘national security specialist’ with hundreds of intelligence contacts who acted as a back channel between governments. Representing himself at his two-week trial, he told jurors he worked on the investigation into Madeleine McCann’s disappearance and the case of Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet. He read extracts from his address book with a number of ‘contacts’ in the CIA, FBI, MI6, the Pentagon, Chinese intelligence and Parliament. Shrimpton said: ‘I admit that the stuff I deal with is bound to sound strange, high falutin, incredible and fantastic.It’s my world, welcome to my world.’ Shrimpton claimed he has rubbed shoulders with royalty, former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and listed a number of famous names including Richard Branson and Steven Forbes. Giving evidence he boasted of meeting Prince Philip twice in a social context and claimed to have to Royal's phone number. Shrimpton said the information had been blocked through official channels because the Germans had infiltrated MI5, MI6, and GCHQ (pictured, the Queen at the London 2012 opening ceremony) Among his other claims were that he was consulted by the makers of TV show Spooks on his specialist knowledge, that the CIA had allowed him to enter the U.S. carrying a weapon, and that the LA Sheriff's Department had discussed terror attacks with him over a cup of coffee. He also insisted he has the authority to issue a Defence Advisory Notice on behalf of the government to stop British media from publishing stories that could compromise national security. He said he wanted to prevent the News of the World from blowing his intelligence, and added they were ‘very cooperative’. Shrimpton told jurors that there had been an assassination attempt against him by the Chinese authorities who wanted to ‘whack’ him. In response, prosecutor Alan Blake said: 'The information was extraordinary and dramatic, in essence Mr Shrimpton announced that a nuclear weapon stolen from the sunken Russian submarine the Kursk a number of years ago, that such a nuclear weapon had been smuggled into the UK and was being stored in a London hospital in preparation to be used during the Olympic games. ‘With the benefit of hindsight the information may seem outlandish, perhaps even laughable. ‘Before being too dismissive do recall the position in 2012 when those calls were made.’ Sitting at Southwark Crown Court, Judge Alistair McCreath QC delayed sentencing for Shrimpton until February next year while the lawyer has psychiatric tests . At that stage, surface to air missiles had just been installed on the tops of a number of blocks of flats and it was feared terrorists could infiltrate G4S staff after the security company began frantically hiring after announcing a staff shortage, the court heard. Mr Blake said Shrimpton was a ‘respected professional man’ who has ‘superficial plausibility’. He added: ‘It is the prosecution’s case that the information provided by Mr Shrimpton was false and that when he communicated those threats he didn’t honestly or genuinely believe that they were true or rather knew or believed that they were false.' Shrimpton was granted conditional bail ahead of sentencing on February 6.

By . Frank Thorne . PUBLISHED: . 03:36 EST, 10 December 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 04:42 EST, 10 December 2012 . The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge celebrated news of her pregnancy with a shepherd's pie and an early night, a friend claimed today. Former school friend Jessica Hay claimed the Royal couple discovered she was expecting at their small, three-bedroom cottage in Wales in October. She described it as 'the most nerve-racking moment of Kate's entire life'. But according to Jessica, there were no champagne corks popping. Instead, the pair tucked into a home-cooked traditional shepherd's pie and went to bed early. Baby joy: A former school friend of Kate Middleton has claimed the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge learnt of her pregnancy at their small, three-bedroom cottage in Wales in October . In an exclusive interview with Australian magazine New Idea, Jessica also tells of the drama which unfolded when Kate fell ill and how the Royal couple's plan to announce their baby news at Christmas was blown. Jessica was completely correct when she first tipped the pregnancy, with a nod and a wink predicting a Christmas announcement, when she spoke exclusively to the magazine three weeks ago. Not even the Royal pair could have predicted what would happen next. The ecstatic Duchess was excited to share . the news with her parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and the couple . visited them at the family cottage in the village of Bucklebury, . Berkshire. Kate was well and putting on weight. No champagne corks popping: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (pictured leaving hospital on Thursday after she was treated for severe morning sickness) celebrated news she was expecting with a shepherd's pie and an early night, the friend claimed . During a relaxing weekend, Wills and Kate were looking forward to some of Carole's cooking ahead of a busy Christmas when they planned to tell the world Kate was finally expecting. But on the Saturday morning, December 1, Kate became ill. Jessica, one of the Duchess's oldest friends, tells New Idea: 'She took to her bed for most of the weekend and on Monday morning, her mother and William told her she must get herself checked out by medics.' William insisted on driving Catherine himself, keeping things low-key but then Kate was admitted to the private King Edward VII Hospital. The good news, says Jessica, is that after her hospital ordeal, Kate is now feeling much better: 'I'm hearing she's already craving food again - she particularly wants papaya fruit and they're busy making plans for Christmas. 'She's already feeling much better and, as they do with everything, they're getting through the ordeal by making each other laugh.' Excited: The friend claimed the couple told the Duchess's parents, Michael and Carole Middleton (pictured left with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall at the Royal wedding) about ten days ago . Although the Royal couple originally planned to make their announcement on December 24, Jessica says a great weight has been lifted from the pair's shoulders because they don't like keeping secrets: 'They're relieved everyone knows and they're just focused on getting her health firmly back on track.' One that speculation that the early pregnancy condition called hyperemesis gravidarum can be an indication of twins, Jessica says: 'Catherine would love twins and a lot of people in their circle in London say it could indeed be the case that she is expecting twins. 'If it were a boy and a girl, it would be a dream come true for them both.' However, she reveals that Wills and Kate have told doctors they don't want to know the sex and have not been buying any baby clothes yet, either. They are keeping with tradition and want to find out when he or she arrives. Jessica's tip for a girl's name for their summer baby is Diana: 'Funnily enough, Diana is a name Catherine has always loved.' Victoria is another favourite. But Jessica says that Catherine is following her mother's suggestion that she should meet the baby first and then decide on a name. And the duchess will be a hands-on mum, with very few nannies: 'There will be a house with a lot of laughter rather than staffed with nannies, governesses and butlers and so on.' Jessica claimed the Royals learnt of the pregnancy after using a simple High Street testing kit which would have revealed the thin blue line the couple had been praying for.

(CNN) -- Remember the name: Jordan Spieth is only 20 years of age, but the golfer is already being mentioned in the same breath as Tiger Woods after a whirlwind start to his PGA Tour career. Spieth, like Woods, was a multiple U.S. Junior Amateur champion before dominating college golf in his freshman year. Quickly turning professional, he became the first teenage winner on the PGA Tour in 82 years, and at this week's traditional curtain raiser to 2014 he finished second to veteran Zach Johnson at the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii. Johnson, the 2007 Masters champion, carded four birdies in seven holes to pip joint third-round leader Spieth by a shot on Monday. The 37-year-old tweeted after his win: "I love underdog stories" -- a recognition of the youngster's growing reputation. Spieth is one of CNN Living Golf's "Five players to watch" in 2014, as he seeks to add to last year's maiden victory. Along with three of the biggest names in the sport -- who enjoyed wildly varying fortunes last season --we have also cast our net in the direction of Asia, where the emerging prodigies seem to get ever younger and ever more a threat to the established order on the PGA Tour. Jordan Spieth . Starting 2013 ranked 810th in the world and having turned professional halfway through his sophomore year at the University of Texas, Spieth ended it as the PGA Tour's Rookie of the Year and with a place on the winning U.S. Presidents Cup team. So highly-rated was Spieth, that his first victory on the PGA Tour at the John Deere Classic in July was hardly considered a surprise. He won a three-way playoff against defending champion Johnson and David Hearn after spectacularly holing from a greenside bunker on the final hole of regulation play to force the shootout. Spieth then lost in a playoff for the Wyndham Championship to another promising young golfer, 23-year-old Patrick Reed and charged to fourth in the Deutsche Bank Championship with a last-round 62. He ended the year just outside the world's top 20, earning the nod from Fred Couples as a captain's pick in the Presidents Cup. Woods was a teammate in the comfortable victory over the Internationals, and when asked about Spieth the world No. 1 gave the following verdict: "He's earned his way on here and he's played exceptional golf and his talent is going to take him a long way over the years." Tiger Woods . Woods may have ended 2013 as the PGA Tour's Golfer of the Year, but will want to finally lose the tag of "14-time major winner" and close on Jack Nicklaus's all-time record of 18. Woods has been stuck on 14 since winning the U.S. Open in June 2008 with an injured knee which required surgery and a lengthy recuperation. His well-chronicled personal problems also clearly impacted on his career and it was only last year which saw the re-emergence of a golfer resembling the former all-conquering Tiger. Five wins on the PGA Tour were ample evidence, but in the majors his best was tied fourth at the Masters and he will be focused on changing that stat. With youngsters like Spieth emerging and veterans like arch-rival Phil Mickelson showing no signs of fading away, Woods, who has just turned 38, knows this is a big year -- and the choice of venues for the majors could be in his favor. "I'm really excited about the major championships next year. I've won at three of the four venues -- Augusta National, Valhalla Golf Club and Royal Liverpool -- and on Pinehurst No. 2 (U.S. Open), I'm trending the right way, having finished third and second," he told his own website. Woods skipped the opening tournament of the year in Hawaii to spend time with his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn -- who will miss the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi due to her own knee problem -- before beginning his own buildup to the Masters in April. He still holds the record low total at Augusta of 270 back in 1997 when he announced himself to the wider sporting public with a stunning victory. Rory McIlroy . McIlroy started 2013 as the world's top-ranked golfer and ended it as the sixth best after a series of on and off-course problems. With a new management team and a new fiancee -- he announced his engagement to Danish tennis star Caroline Wozniacki on New Year's Eve on Twitter -- the popular 24-year-old from Northern Ireland can enter 2014 with optimism. Buoyed by an end-of-year victory at the Australian Open, McIlroy has renewed confidence in himself and his Nike equipment after a big-money switch to the sportswear manufacturer at the start of 2012 that some linked to his poor form on the course. "I'm confident with my game and confident where it's going," McIlroy told reporters. "I won a major in 2011 and 2012 but not in 2013, so I'll try to make up for that with two this year." A bold prediction, but McIlroy clearly has the talent to back up his words and has been practicing hard in Dubai ahead of his opening tournament of the season at the Abu Dhabi Championship starting on January 16. He will lock horns with Woods for the first time in 2014 at the Dubai Desert Classic a fortnight later -- an early marker for the rest of the year. Adam Scott . Scott was denied the "triple crown" back in his home country in December by McIlroy, who mounted a final round charge to win at Royal Sydney. Following wins at the Australian PGA and Masters events, it would have capped a triumphant 2013 for the 33-year-old from Adelaide, who won his first major at Augusta. Scott also paired with Jason Day to win the World Cup for Australia and, combined with an impressive victory at The Barclays, the first event of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoffs, it left him second in the world rankings behind Woods at year's end. Many believe Scott will reach top spot in 2014 and add to his majors haul, having shrugged off the disappointment of letting a four-shot lead slip to hand Ernie Els the 2012 British Open crown. A dramatic playoff win over Angel Cabrera of Argentina at Augusta sealed his place in golfing history and he was also in contention at the British Open and U.S. PGA Championships. Scott performed strongly at Kapalua in the Tournament of Champions, tying for sixth, to serve notice he will again be a force in 2014. Lee Chang-Woo . Both the PGA Tour, and in particular the women's LPGA Tour, are becoming accustomed to precocious teenagers from Asia turning up in the United States and making their mark. Last year it was China's 14-year-old Guan Tianglang who had greats like Gary Player singing his praises with his performances at Augusta -- where he made the cut -- and subsequent PGA Tour events. In 2014, South Korean Lee Chang-Woo has the same opportunity after emulating Guan and winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship. That booked a place for the 19-year-year-old at the Masters and also a spot at final qualifying for the British Open. He is likely to grab the opportunities with both hands, having already mixed it with established professionals while still in the unpaid ranks. Seoul-born Lee tied for second with McIlroy at the Korea Open, the week before his Asia-Pacific win, and claimed victory in an earlier Korean Tour event. "Playing in the Masters has been my dream since I started playing golf," he said. "This is a great honor, I have never been so excited." Guan could not repeat his heroics of 2012 and finished back in eighth, but Lee was initially challenged in the final round by another young Chinese star, Dou Zecheng, before the 16-year-old fell away on the back nine. The pedigree of the Asia-Pacific Amateur winners is also strong. Since 2009, all but one winner has made the cut at the Masters. Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, a previous qualifier by this route, achieved the feat twice and finished third in the Frys.com Open last October, the opening event on the 2013-14 PGA Tour calendar. Lee will be hoping to make a similar impression to earn sponsor invites for PGA events after the Masters, while Matsuyama has already proved he can mix it with the best while still in the amateur ranks.
Jordan Spieth is considered brightest young prospect on PGA Tour . He opens 2014 by finishing second to Zach Johnson in Hawaii . Tiger Woods goes into the New Year chasing elusive 15th major . Rory McIlroy looking recover his form after difficult 2013 .

A mother has spoken out about her terrifying ordeal after she was raped by her vile ex-boyfriend who had stalked her for months. Barry Ritson, from Jarrow, South Tyneside, harassed Catherine Cunningham, 50, for three months before breaking into her house while she was sleeping and raping her. Miss Cunningham - who even had the locks on her door changed to avoid 52-year-old Ritson - has now bravely waived her legal right to anonymity in the hope more stalking victims will report their concerns to police before it is too late. Speaking out: Catherine Cunningham, who was raped by her ex-boyfriend after months of harassment, is speaking out in the hope of encouraging other stalking victims to tell police their problems . Barry Ritson, 52, from Jarrow, South Tyneside, was jailed for eight years in June 2013 after being found guilty of rape at Newcastle Crown Court . The mother-of-two, also from Jarrow, wants to warn others that stalking should be reported to the police straight away - incase it becomes as serious as it did for her. She said: 'My whole life changed and I wouldn’t go out. I was frightened to sleep. I couldn’t go back to work. 'You think he will stop tomorrow - you think he will stop phoning and harassing you, but that day doesn’t come.' The tirade of harassment started when Miss Cunningham, a former beauty therapist, told Ritson she was ending their two-year relationship. Ritson started bombarding her with texts and phone calls - and would not take no for an answer. She said: 'It started with text messages and phone calls and it ended up where he would be following me to work and outside home when I came back. And he was ringing through the night. Frightened: The mother-of-two said her whole life changed after she was stalked and raped by Ritson, her ex boyfriend. She was too scared to go out and couldn't work . 'He had the control over me where I started answering my phone rather than having him turning up. He would peer through the windows. 'I was at my friend’s once and he was standing on a wall looking over the fence. The campaign of harassment started when Miss Cunningham tried to end her two-year relationship with Ritson. He then text and phoned her all through the night, even turning up when she was away on holiday . 'He came into the house once and grabbed my phone to see who I was phoning and texting and he phoned all my friends to make sure they were the right numbers. 'He made me feel tired, worn out and scared.' The intimidation - which included turning up when she was on holiday at Sandy Bay, near Ashington, Northumberland - went on for three months. But the harassment took a nastier turn on July 9, 2012 when Ritson crept into Miss Cunningham's home. He had already broken into the house twice before, but Miss Cunningham managed to throw him out. She had even had the locks changed after it emerged he had a key - but he had threatened her by saying ‘Do you think you’re clever?'. But this time, while she was sleeping, Ritson raped her. Ritson then stayed in her home for another six hours after the terrifying assault, making Miss Cunningham fear for her safety. She said: 'There were a few times he came when he had been on the drink and his attitude was more threatening. 'He had broken in twice before that but because I was up and wide awake I managed to get hold of him and throw him out. 'He was watching when I got the locks changed. He broke into the house while I was asleep and he raped me.' When he eventually left she called her friend, who phoned the police. Ritson was . jailed for eight years in June 2013 after a jury at Newcastle Crown . Court found him guilty of rape. Miss Cunningham, who has two grown-up children aged 30 and 28, is now warning others to pick up the phone to police far earlier if they are living in fear. As part of National Stalking Awareness Day today, she hopes by bravely sharing her story others will speak out when they are being targeted. She said: 'If anybody is going through it, they need to report it. 'The police have got a support network. They helped me understand what I was going through and there was always somebody there to listen to me. 'You don’t want to pour your heart out all the time to your kids.' Detective Superintendent Steve Wade from Northumbria Police said Miss Cunningham's devastating experience should serve as a warning to others about the dangers of letting stalking go unreported. He said: 'This year’s theme is working without fear. 'The National Stalking Helpline has done some research into stalking and it’s amazing how many will meet their stalker in the workplace, or they are clients, or the stalker turns up at work, or follows them home. 'The workplace is actually a danger point for stalking behaviour and we are trying to work with employers to raise awareness. 'It’s a greatly under reported crime, with just eight reports of it in 12 months to Northumbria Police. 'Statistics suggest the victim will suffer 100 incidents before they report it.' The National Stalking Helpline is 0808 802 0300 and lines are open between 9.30pm and 4pm on weekdays (1pm and 4pm on Wednesday).

A Spanish matador was gored in the backside, just weeks after returning to the sport after a career-threatening injury. Rafael Cerro was thrown into the air by the charging 75 stone bull before being hit in the backside in front of hundreds of people at the Las Ventas bullring in Madrid.

Painful: Cerro's costume is ripped as the bull lifts him into the air in front of hundreds of fans at the Las Ventas bullring in Madrid . Eye-watering: Cerro has only recently returned to the sport after suffering a 20cm gash to his stomach in a separate bullfight . In April, the 23-year-old needed surgery after he was gored by a bull in another bullfight. He had to be treated in hospital when the bull's horn pierced his scrotum and reached his abdominal cavity, according to reports. But, despite his recent injuries was confident that it would be a 'beautiful evening'. His return started well yesterday when he killed a bull with a sword in front of hundreds of fans. But things then did not go to plan after he was hurled into the air by another bull. Spanish media said the 23-year-old tried to bluff the charging bull but was then flipped by the animal. As he fell, he was then gored in his backside. However, Cerro only suffered bruising in the clash with the 75 stone bull. He was not the only matador to have a bad day in the ring.

Charge: It was the first time that Saint Sever's famous encierro took place with bulls that would be used in bullfighting in the arena . And, as is often the case in the running of the bulls, one runner was a bit too slow and gored in the leg after being cornered by a bull. The injured runner is believed to have been taken to a local hospital to be treated for his wounds after the event known as encierro in Spain. While some 'encierros' date back hundreds of years, the event in Saint Sever has only been running since 2003. Its . started at twelve minutes past midday, the route covering a distance of . 850 meters over and back across a prepared course through the city. The . most well-known running of the bulls is the Pamplona during the San . Fermin festival in Spain, which became world famous after the . publication of Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises. The . week-long event starts on July 7th. Daring: Many of the participants wore the traditional white bull-running outfits while others opted for bright reds and greens .

By . David Mccormack . and Associated Press Reporter . An Army National Guardsman was in a jealous rage when killed his former girlfriend and another man before fatally shooting himself in northern Utah early on Monday, according to police. Before embarking on his killing spree, Jared Tolman, 23, left a suicide note at his home in Logan in which he admitted that what he was about to do was selfish. Tolman is reported to have sent a series of unanswered text messages to Mackenzie Madden before he kicked down the door of her apartment two blocks from Utah State University shortly after midnight on Monday. Scroll down for video . Before embarking on his killing spree, Jared Tolman, 23, left a suicide note at his home in Logan in which he admitted that what he was about to do was selfish . He then fired an assault rifle multiple times at Madden, 19, and her friend Johnathon Sadler, 25, both people he knew, police said. ‘Basically there were three boys all interested in the same girl,’ Logan Police Lt. Rod Peterson told KSL.com. ‘Mr. Tolman is one of the three men that is interested in MacKenzie, and I’m not sure he was particularly fond of whatever relationship Johnathon had with MacKenzie.’ It's unclear if Tolman knew beforehand that Sadler was in Madden's home, although that might have triggered his actions, said Peterson.

One of Britain's top police dogs who has sniffed out more than £11million worth of drugs, cash and guns has retired. Springer spaniel Alfie joined Staffordshire Police in 2006 and his work with handler Julie Hargreaves has led to more than 400 arrests. The nine-year-old, who was used by the force to sniff out illegal substances and stolen cash, was also used to educate schoolchildren about how to stay safe around animals. Springer spaniel Alfie joined Staffordshire Police in 2006 and his work with handler Julie Hargreaves has led to more than 400 arrests. He has sniffed out £11million worth of cash, drugs and guns in his eight-year career . Alfie's handler said: 'He's the best dog I could ever have asked for - he constantly goes above and beyond' Alfie was originally donated to Staffordshire Police by a family in Nottinghamshire after they found him to be too hyperactive. Ms Hargreaves has been his handler since he arrived with the force after his special training . Ms Hargreaves, 45, said she was sad to see her beloved partner retire but said she was immensely proud of the work they achieved together during Alfie's eight year career. She said: 'He's the best dog I could ever have asked for - he constantly goes above and beyond expectations. 'It's difficult to keep count of the times that he has found things we had been desperately looking for with no luck and kept the community safe.' During his eight years in the force, Alfie has sniffed out £8million in drugs alone. During a raid on a car by the Central Motorways Police Group in August, Alfie came up trumps with one of the biggest single finds in history. Police stopped a vehicle where intelligence suggested drugs may be concealed on board but officers searched the vehicle inside out and could not find anything. It was only when Alfie was left to sniff around the car that he unearthed a large quantity of Class A drugs with an estimated street value of £4million. His ability to smell traces of ammunition and weapon components means that Alfie has also helped to take guns off the streets with a total find value of £1million. Alfie sniffed out one of the biggest finds in history - £4million worth of drugs during a car raid in August . After an armed robbery in Alsager, Cheshire, in 2011, Alfie searched the house where the perpetrators had hidden the weapons and managed to find them, which meant they could later be used in evidence. In another search, he recovered more than £1million in cannabis resin from a container stored on a yard near Burton. And, in a car where officers were unable to find anything, the springer spaniel was able to sniff out £500,000 worth of heroin and a further £250,000 in cash. Thanks to extra training, he is also able to detect the special ink used to print money and can sniff out all sterling and euro notes. He once found a haul of £10,000 in cash believed to be the profits of crime. As well as sniffing out illegal substances and cash, Alfie and his handler also found time to work on education programmes for children. The pair visited up to six schools a month teaching young people how to stay safe around animals and giving them their first introduction to the work of the police. Alfie was originally donated to the police by a family in Nottinghamshire after they found him to be too hyperactive. Ms Hargreaves, who has been in the police since she joined the cadets at 16, said: 'He was way too much for an ordinary family - a bit overzealous and hyperactive - but that's exactly what we look for in a search dog. 'He is ball crazy and that's the first thing we need - a dog who loves the reward of chasing a tennis ball.' After being assessed by a team of officers, it was clear that he was perfect for the job and Alfie was inducted into the force with eight weeks of training with his handler. She said: 'I was new to being a specialist dog handler too. Although I'd had a general purpose dog before, Alfie was my first search dog. 'He's turned out to be the finest dog the force has ever known. 'Both dogs lived with me - it's part of the bond between the dog and the handler. The nine-year-old springer spaniel will now be cared for by the Staffordshire Retired Police Dogs Scheme . 'And Alfie has always been 100 per cent professional - that's what makes him such a special dog - even when he was doing shift patterns. 'He did exactly the same hours as me, even when I was working nights or from the early hours of the morning. 'As soon as I put my uniform on, he was ready to work.' Alfie retired in October and is being supported by the Staffordshire Retired Police Dogs Scheme now he is no longer in active service. Ms Hargreaves said: 'Although I was very sad to see him retire I know he'll enjoy his new home. 'But I will be fundraising for the Staffordshire Retired Police Dogs Scheme to make sure he has a comfortable retirement.'
Police dog Alfie responsible for more than 400 arrests with his handler . Springer spaniel has been with Staffordshire Police for about eight years . Nine-year-old - one of the best in British police forces - has now retired .

Monrovia, Liberia (CNN) -- The general and his soldiers have spent more than a decade at war in Iraq and Afghanistan but this could be one of their toughest battles yet. Their enemy this time is not soldiers or militants. It is Ebola -- invisible and killing thousands in Liberia. Maj. Gen. Darryl Williams, the commander of U.S. Army Africa who is leading the advance team into Liberia, says the mandate here -- straight from President Barack Obama -- is different from other missions. "We were brought in to provide our unique capabilities and fill the gaps," the two-star general says. In other words, Williams and his troops are here in a supporting role and not a leading one. Fight ready . But Williams --who still remembers his college game when he tackled American Football Hall of Famer Dan Marino -- also looks and sounds like he's ready for this fight. As two Osprey military aircraft appear on the horizon, signalling the opening of an air bridge from Senegal that will put more U.S. troops on the ground in Liberia, Williams can't contain his excitement. "You want to know where the U.S. military is? It's right here," the general says, pointing skyward. But tackling Ebola is a tough task and six months after the start of the unprecedented outbreak, critics say the international response continues to be woefully slow. At Liberian government-run Ebola care units, overcrowding has forced patients to sleep on the floors and many healthcare workers who say they've gone weeks since their last pay checks are now threatening to strike. "There is no question in my mind that we are making an impact," the U.S. unit's chief medical officer, Colonel Jim Czarnik says. "It is about doing it quickly but you don't want to sprint to failure. " Game changer . Czarnik points to four recently opened Ebola testing labs, run by military personnel that are already making a difference. Thanks to one lab in Bong County, patients now wait hours, not days to get test results. This means patients who test negative spend less time in isolation with those that test positive. "It's a game changer," says Sean Casey, project manager at a care center run by the International Medical Corps charity that sits just minutes down the road from the U.S. Naval laboratory. "Patients were afraid at one point of coming to an Ebola treatment unit because they were afraid of becoming infected. Now that we have the lab, patients can get the results back within hours." But there are just four labs in a country where nearly 1,000 cases of Ebola have been confirmed. As Williams inspected the construction of the Monrovia Medical Unit, a facility specifically for infected health workers to be run by U.S. government health teams, a crowd of local residents monitors progress from just across the road. "While we'll do a lot of tangible things -- we'll build this hospital, we'll build the Ebola treatment units, provide these labs -- there's a lot of intangible nature to this fight," he said.

By . Sam Webb . PUBLISHED: . 10:24 EST, 8 January 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 18:08 EST, 8 January 2014 . Dennis Rodman led an auditorium of North Koreans in singing 'Happy Birthday' to their leader on Wednesday, a day after the former U.S. basketball star sparked controversy by appearing to suggest a Korean-American was to blame for his captivity in North Korea. Rodman, 52, brought a team of fellow former National Basketball Association stars to the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, to mark the birthday of leader Kim Jong Un with an exhibition game. The birthday is believed to have been on Wednesday though that has not been confirmed. Bizarre: Dennis Rodman sings Happy Birthday to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, seated above in the stands, before an exhibition basketball game in Pyongyang . Joy: North Koreans cheer at the start of an exhibition basketball game with U.S. and North Korean players . 'It started out as surreal, then people . joined in and it sort of faded a bit, but it seemed pretty heartfelt . from Rodman's side,' said Simon Cockerell, a tour guide who watched the . game in Pyongyang, said of Rodman's birthday singing. 'It was unexpected, and probably unplanned,' he said. 'Kim Jong Un appeared to smile, but he didn't appear to expect it.' It was a scene bizarrely reminiscent of when film star Marilyn Monroe sang 'Happy Birthday Mr President' to President John F Kennedy on his 45th birthday at Madison Square Garden in New York in 1962. Cockerell, whose company Koryo Tours took a group of tourists to the game, said the audience had stood and cheered Kim for up to six minutes when he appeared with his wife. 'Dennis Rodman gave a charmingly shambolic speech where he thanked Kim Jong Un and his wife for showing up, along with the other players for being brave enough to come with him and join in his "engagement effort".' This was Rodman's fourth trip to Pyongyang. On previous visits, he spent time dining as a guest of Kim, with whom he says he has a genuine friendship, though he did not meet Kim on his third trip. Play ball: Dennis Rodman, centre, pauses with the ball during the basketball game . The U.S. and North Korean teams raise their hands to the crowd after the game . The visit come weeks after the execution of Kim's uncle, Jang Song Thaek, who until then was one of the most powerful figures in the regime. South Korean President Park Geun-hye has described events in North Korea as a 'reign of terror'. Rodman has said he would not interfere in North Korea's politics but he raised an outcry at home when, in a television interview on Tuesday, he appeared to suggest that Korean-American missionary Kenneth Bae was to blame for his captivity. During an expletive-ridden interview with CNN about his trip, Rodman seemed to say Bae, held in North Korea since November 2012 and convicted in May on charges of crimes against the state, was responsible for his situation. In a TV interview Rodman appeared to suggest that Korean-American missionary Kenneth Bae was to blame for his captivity . 'If you understand what Kenneth Bae did... Do you understand what he did in this country? Why is he held captive in this country?' Rodman said, declining to respond to questions to clarify what he meant. Bae's sister, Terri Chung, said her family was 'outraged' by his comments and he could 'do a lot of good' by using his access to the North Korea leader to advocate on Bae's behalf, rather than 'hurl outrageous accusations' at her brother. 'He is playing games with my brother's life,' Chung said in a statement. 'There is no diplomacy, only games, and at my brother's expense.'

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and former NBA star Dennis Rodman in February 2013 . 'He is clearly uninformed about Kenneth's case, and he is certainly not in any position to pass judgment,' Chung said, adding that Bae never had hostile intentions against the state. Asked about Rodman's comments, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters, 'I'm not going to dignify that outburst with a response', emphasizing that the trip was private travel that was not endorsed by the U.S. government. 'I'm simply going to say that we remain gravely concerned about Kenneth Bae's health, and continue to urge DPRK authorities to grant his amnesty and immediate release on humanitarian grounds,' Carney said. Parallel: Actress Marilyn Monrow sings 'Happy Birthday, Mr President' to JFK in 1962 . Bae, 45, was sentenced to 15 years of hard labour for state subversion in North Korea. He was detained in 2012 as he led a tour group through the northern region of the country. The country's Supreme Court said he used his tourism business to form groups aimed at overthrowing the government. Following a visit to her son in October, Bae's mother, Myunghee Bae, said her son was 'alone and ailing'. A devout Christian, Bae has acknowledged he conducted religious services in North Korea, which has long been hostile to Westerners advocating religious causes. U.S. Representative Eliot Engel, the leading Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, criticized Rodman and the other Americans for what he called an 'ill-advised' trip. 'As North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un continues to starve and oppress his citizens, it is unthinkable that a few fading celebrities would use such an opportunity to reward his brutal regime,' he said. Rodman has faced both ridicule and harsh criticism for his trips to North Korea, which some U.S. politicians and activists view as serving only as fodder for North Korean propaganda. But he defended his visit, saying it would help 'open the door' and was a 'great idea for the world'. 'It's amazing how we thrive on negativity. Does anyone know this guy's only 31 years old?' he said of Kim, whom he calls his friend. 'Dennis, he could be 31, he could be 51,' said CNN interviewer Chris Cuomo. 'He's just killed his uncle. He's holding an American hostage.' North Korean leader Kim Jong Un (right) walks past his uncle Jang Song Thaek, who he had executed in December .

Heiko Salzwedel has joined British Cycling's coaching staff for a third time as part of a restructuring led by technical director Shane Sutton. Sutton became technical director when Sir Dave Brailsford left his role as performance director in April to focus solely on Team Sky. German Salzwedel has been tasked with leading the men's endurance squad in the lead-up to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, having worked with British Cycling for short spells post-Sydney and post-Beijing. He will begin his position on November 1. Heiko Salzwedel has returned to British Cycling for the third time as they undergo a staff restructuring . Salzwedel must galvanise a team pursuit squad which has struggled to fire since winning Olympic gold at London 2012, finishing a dismal eighth at the 2014 Track World Championships in Colombia, but bolstered by the return of Sir Bradley Wiggins to the velodrome. Paul Manning returns to overseeing the women's endurance squad which he led to gold in London, while Chris Newton reverts to the coaching the Olympic Academy men's endurance squad. Sutton said: 'I'm pleased to be able to welcome Heiko back on to the Great Britain cycling team in the role of national men's endurance coach. 'He has a wealth of knowledge and experience which I believe will help drive forward the performances of the men's endurance squad.' Sir Chris Hoy was one of the members of the extremely successful British Cycling team at London 2012 . Iain Dyer, a member of the sprint coaching team, has been appointed as coach coordinator and will be responsible for the coordination of podium coach related operations, assisting in coach development planning and will be involved in major event selection panels. Dyer will continue to coach the sprinters, alongside Jan van Eijden and New Zealander Justin Grace, who was appointed last month. Sutton added: 'I am pleased that Iain Dyer has accepted the additional responsibility to become coach coordinator which I think will galvanise the work of the podium coaches. 'I believe that these changes, along with the recent addition of Justin Grace to the sprint squad coaching team, put us in good stead at this stage of the Olympic cycle.' Â .

(CNN) -- Valentino Rossi celebrated his 250th MotoGP with a memorable victory at the Australian Grand Prix Sunday -- taking full advantage after 2014 champion Marc Marquez crashed out. Yamaha's Rossi took control at Phillip Island when Marquez went off on his Honda at the Lukey Heights turn at Phillip Island with 10 laps remaining. Spain's Marquez, who wrapped up a second straight title in Japan last weekend, was looking set for his 12th win of the season. But after his error and with a substantial four second lead, he still needs one more to equal Australian Mick Doohan's all-time record from the 1997 season. "As I had no pressure on me I tried a different approach, pushing hard from the start to try to open the largest gap possible," Marquez later admitted. "We were having a good race, right up until the crash. It was a pity that I went down at a time that I was not riding on the limit or faster than the lap before." The 35-year-old Rossi has virtually ever other MotoGP record in his possession and victory was his 82nd at motorcycling's highest level and second of the season. "When I saw Marc crash it was a surprise, and to finish first at Phillip Island after my last victory here in 2005 is a great achievement," Rossi told the official MotoGP website. "I love this track and I've won the two most important world championships of my career in 2001 and 2004. "I won again here in 2005 but I have done a lot of podiums since then and never won." His teammate Jorge Lorenzo of Spain took second place -- over 10 seconds adrift -- with promising young British rider Bradley Smith in third, his first podium in MotoGP. Smith's compatriot Cal Crutchlow looked set for his best finish of the season for Ducati, but he crashed out when lying second on the final lap. Crutchlow's teammate Andrea Dovizioso finished fourth. It meant a first all-Yamaha podium for the first time since the Le Mans race of 2008. Marquez's Honda teammate Dani Pedrosa was one of nine riders who either crashed out or failed to finish an incident-packed race and the Spaniard's chances of finishing second in the overall standings have diminished. Rossi's victory has given him an eight-point lead over Lorenzo in the battle for second place with two races remaining in Sepang and Valencia. Pedrosa trails by a further 18 points.

(CNN) -- Didier Drogba has confirmed he is leaving Chelsea, a decision which means the striker's last kick of a ball for the English club will be the penalty that sealed a first European Champions League crown on Saturday. The Ivory Coast forward scored the decisive spot kick as Chelsea defeated Bayern Munich to secure club football's most coveted trophy, but he is to seek pastures new when his contract expires in June. The 34-year-old has scored 157 goals in 341 appearances since he signed for the west London club from French side Marseille back in 2004 and he has been linked with a big-money move to China. He told Chelsea's official website: "I wanted to put an end to all the speculation and confirm that I am leaving. Chelsea win Champions League after shoot out drama in Munich . "It has been a very difficult decision for me to make and I am very proud of what we have achieved but the time is right for a new challenge for me." Drogba's eight years at Stamford Bridge have been littered with success. He won three Premier League titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups and one European Champions League. He has finished as the Premier League's top scorer on two occasions and has twice been voted the Players' Player of the Year. "As a team we have accomplished so much and have won every single trophy possible," he added. "Saturday was a very special moment for everyone at the club and for all the fans, and I am very proud to have played my part in bringing many trophies to this club, which has been my home for the last eight years. "I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at the club especially (Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich) and my teammates, many of whom have become very close friends and will be my friends for life. CNN blog: Fading Chelsea bury Bayern's dream . "I would also like to say a very special thank you to the Chelsea fans who have shown me so much love and support over the years. I wish the club all the best and continued success for the future -- you will always be in my heart." Drogba was signed by Jose Mourinho, who now coaches Spanish giants Real Madrid, and has spearheaded Chelsea's front line for the best part of a decade. He has the reputation of being a big-game player and has scored nine goals in cup final matches for Chelsea. Drogba opened talks last year about extending his contract but the two parties could not reach an agreement. Chelsea chief executive Ron Gourlay said that Drogba will always be a part of the club's family. "He is certainly leaving on a high after Saturday night but he feels the time is right for a new challenge," Gourlay told the club's website. Jubilant Chelsea parade Champions League trophy . "He has been a consummate professional during his entire time here and as one of the natural leaders in our squad he has been an inspiration to a lot of our younger players. "We have known for some time that this outcome was likely but Didier and the club only made a final decision on that in the last couple of days, because for obvious reasons neither Didier nor the club wanted to distract focus away from the Champions League Final." Speculation in recent days has linked Drogba with a move to China and a reunion with former Chelsea striking partner Nicolas Anelka, who is now player-manager of Shanghai Shenhua.

Water filling the Earth's oceans is older than the formation of the sun, increasing the chances of life emerging among the stars, scientists have revealed. The discovery suggests that water may be a common ingredient in the clouds of dust and gas from which solar systems are born, and not 'special' to our own. This has major implications for the likelihood of life being found on exoplanets orbiting stars beyond the sun, according to researchers. Scroll down for video . This image shows water through time in the formation of the solar system, as scientists have revealed that water filling the Earth's oceans pre-date the formation of the sun . The sun is thought to be 4.5 billion years old, but water on Earth may have formed before then as tiny crystals of ice floating around deep space. Professor Tim Harries, from the University of Exeter, said: 'We know that water is vital for the evolution of life on Earth, but it was possible that the Earth's water originated in the specific conditions of the early solar system, and that those circumstances might occur infrequently elsewhere. 'By identifying the ancient heritage of Earth's water, we can see that the way in which our solar system was formed will not be unique, and that exoplanets will form in environments with abundant water. 'It raises the possibility that some exoplanets could house the right conditions, and water resources, for life to evolve.' The international team of scientists studied ancient ices preserved in comets and asteroids since the early days of the solar system. Using computer simulations, they were able to show that water in the oceans, meteorite samples and comets bore the chemical fingerprint of formation before the solar system took shape. Pictured is the Pacific Ocean . Water vapour has been detected in the atmosphere of a planet 124 light years - or 729 trillion miles - from Earth. The planet is about the size of the gas giant Neptune, and is the smallest and coldest outside the solar system known to contain H2O molecules - the building blocks of life. Scientists claim the discovery is a leap forward in the study of distant exoplanets that may in future uncover evidence of alien life. Researchers used a technique called transmission spectroscopy, which measures dips in light as the planet passes in front of its host star to identify the signs of water vapour. Previously it has only been possible to measure the atmospheric compositions of larger Jupiter-sized extrasolar planets. Using computer simulations, they were able to show that water in the oceans, meteorite samples and comets bore the chemical fingerprint of formation before the solar system took shape.

(CNN) -- On June 11, 1962, three Alcatraz inmates -- John Anglin, Clarence Anglin and Frank Morris -- attempted to leave the infamous San Francisco Bay island prison in a bold escape attempt involving dummy heads, chipped-through walls and a raft made of raincoats. They were never seen again. For years, Alcatraz aficionados -- not to mention the authorities -- have wondered whether the trio could have survived the attempt and made it to freedom. Now a Dutch study has shown that, if their timing was right, the inmates just might have done so. Based on models of tidal currents in the bay -- and inspired by an episode of the Discovery Channel's "MythBusters" -- the team of researchers showed that if the Anglin brothers and Morris left Alcatraz at midnight and headed north, they could have reached land. "If they hit it exactly at midnight, the beautiful thing is that we see that they would have been sucked out towards the Golden Gate Bridge," Rolf Hut, one of the researchers, told the BBC, which first reported on the study. "But the moment they were close to the Golden Gate would have been the moment the tide reverses. And that would give them a moment of slack tide, in which they could have reached marine headlands in the northern site of the Golden Gate Bridge," he said. The researchers put together a graphic for the best-case scenario: . The window, however, was narrow, Hut observed. If the three left before midnight, the tides would have pushed them toward the ocean, where they would have died of hypothermia, Hut said. And if they left after 1 a.m., the tides would have pushed them toward the East Bay, and they also would have probably died of hypothermia in the cold waters. Hut allows that they could have survived the latter departure, though they were likely to have been picked up by police since they would have made landfall after sunrise. That's the worst-case scenario: . Only one person, John Paul Scott, is known to have survived an Alcatraz escape attempt, and he was captured the next day. However, Scott's successful swim across the channel to San Francisco -- six months after the attempt by the Anglins and Morris -- made it feasible that others could have done so as well. It's unlikely, though possible, that the Anglin brothers and Morris are alive today if they survived. Clarence and John Anglin, who were bank robbers, would be 83 and 84, respectively. Morris, who had an extensive record, would be 88. Still, the case has remained open. At the time of a 2009 NPR report, the U.S. Marshals Service was still investigating the case, and though the FBI ended its investigation in 1979, a note on an archived FBI web page devoted to the case says that any leads can still be called in. Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary was closed on March 21, 1963. It's now a National Historic Landmark and is open to visitors.

Editor's note: Jeffrey Wright is a stage and screen actor who has won a Tony, Emmy and Golden Globe. Wright has appeared in "Angels in America," "Basquiat," "The Manchurian Candidate," "Syriana," "W." and "Casino Royale." Actor Jeffrey Wright says a nation that put a man on the moon should be able to take race out of policing. NEW YORK (CNN) -- President Obama expressed what many Americans feel regarding the recent arrest of Harvard professor Henry Louis "Skip" Gates -- that the Cambridge, Massachusetts, police responded "stupidly." Obama is catching some flak for that, but I applaud him for having had the courage to speak his heart and mind. I wonder if the president himself has ever experienced the blunt end of racial profiling, or if he personally knows of anyone other than Professor Gates who has. Among African-American males in this country, the small minority is those who have not or do not. Did some prior experience or knowledge inform his response about the Gates incident? I have no facts to back this up, but, to me, it seemed personal. If it was, I understand. I was arrested last July in Shreveport, Louisiana, outside a bar where dozens of members of the cast and crew of the movie "W." and I had gathered to celebrate the end of filming. There was no bar brawl as widely reported -- nor even a pre-election political argument. Nine police cars and a fire engine responded; seven people were arrested. Two of the seven suffered minor head wounds at the hands of the Shreveport police. Josh Brolin and I were pepper sprayed by cops, and while face down in the street, I was made to feel the business end of a Taser. The truth of what led to the whole morass has never been accurately reported. I was asked to leave the bar by a white female bartender who took exception to a comment I made. As with Professor Gates, the police in my case backed unquestioningly the suspicion of a white woman that the black man she accused must be guilty of something. Once that die of accusation was cast, a ghost of racial bias, misperception, and the potential abuse of police authority was set free to make mischief. The bar was one of two places in downtown Shreveport that serves food after 10 p.m. A few nights before my arrest, I had gone there very late after work to grab a bite to eat. It was before closing, and there were a few customers and employees inside, but the door was locked. I knocked and asked, over the music streaming from inside, if I might buy a small pizza. The bartender insisted that they were closed. "Whatever," I said with a shrug of resignation and walked back to my hotel room. Four nights later and in a festive mood, we gathered at this same establishment. Upon seeing the bartender who had a few nights before told me that the place was closed, I asked her for a drink, which she poured. I quipped, "Ah you're going to serve me tonight!" At that, she pulled the drink away and told me that I had to leave. I asked if she was kidding. She went on to say that if I didn't leave, she would call the police. As I stepped away to tell friends what had happened, a call was made to Shreveport police. Two cops, the first of many, arrived in minutes, and I was physically escorted outside although neither of them had the curiosity to ask what had transpired before they arrived. A mess ensued. To their credit, Josh and the others arrested followed me outside with a few others from our group. The cops physically released me and were seeming to be ready to let me go altogether when, out of the corner of my eye, I saw another member of the film crew driven headlong into the sidewalk by two newly arrived cops. Josh verbally objected to their actions, at which point a cop said to him, "You too!" I moved Josh away from the fray and held him. We were then pepper sprayed to separate us, after which Josh knelt in submission and was handcuffed. Disoriented and blinded by the pepper spray, I remained standing until I was kicked in the knee and forced to the ground. I did not completely relax one of my arms as it was twisted behind me, so I was tasered in the back of my ribs repeatedly, eventually handcuffed, left to lie in the street for several minutes, then arrested and hauled off to jail, and charged with impeding police. The six others were similarly charged -- and it all began with a joke. Nearly six months later, after a good-size storm kicked up in Shreveport over the incident, prosecutors agreed to drop the charges against all of us arrested that night. New Year's Day 2009 and the same week in which charges were dropped against us, in Oakland, California, Oscar Grant, a young father, was killed in a BART station, surrounded by cops and in the same position as I found myself down in Shreveport. It seems the BART cop may have pulled the trigger of his firearm thinking that it was his Taser. Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover is known as a law-and-order mayor. The day after the encounter, in the presence of his police chief, Glover apologized to me and privately acknowledged that while most Shreveport's cops were good, there were some "devils" among them. In public meetings regarding the "W." incident, however, he held fast that the responding officers acted appropriately. Either Glover's public statement was dead wrong, or the joke was on us. Of course, public officials, particularly at the local level, are loathe to criticize law enforcement officers. On a certain level, it's understandable. Cops answer a noble and difficult calling. The pressure must be relentless, and I imagine a cop is largely underappreciated by most except those with whom he or she serves. A political pat on the back from the executive in charge must be a comforting thing in controversial times, and politicians prefer to duck behind the political safety of the blue wall of silence than upset the men and women who, like our nation's troops, are charged with placing themselves every day in harm's way to keep us safe. When he was mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani encamped himself behind that blue wall. After Amadou Diallo, living out the All-American, hard-working immigrant story, was brutally shot down on the steps of his Bronx apartment building, Giuliani refused to question the actions of the cops who fired 41 bullets in killing the unarmed young man. Is a politician's unwavering fidelity to law enforcement officers the best approach, or does it promote a police culture of impunity and retard progress on law enforcement issues? What if after the Diallo tragedy, political leadership in New York inspired the passage of serious legislation to keep in check the presumption of criminality that cops so often direct toward young men of color. What if that had led to similar acts nationwide around these issues? Gates might not be headline news today; Grant might not have died; and New York police Officer Omar Edwards, an African-American undercover officer shot down two months ago by a white fellow officer while chasing a suspect through a Harlem street, might be alive today to toss a football again with his son. iReport.com: "Shame" on Gates . I'm not presuming to blame Giuliani alone for what has become a systemic problem in our country -- that would be absurd, these issues predate him -- but when political leaders in this country express compassion only for those for whom they perceive it to be politically expedient or fail to challenge law enforcement and incarceration issues that cut to the core of the history and culture of race in America, they fail us all. They exemplify what U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder meant when he spoke of the cowardice with which we as a society approach race dialogue in this country. These are messy, even bloody issues, but the cost of not addressing them is too draining of our societal health. Among other things it fosters a society in which too many young Americans internalize the aura of criminality that's projected onto them and handcuff themselves to self-imposed limitations that stifle us all. Going to prison rather than to college becomes a rite of passage. They wear their pants below their behinds in solidarity with their friends, brothers, uncles or fathers who aren't allowed belts while incarcerated, though perhaps the low-hanging pants are a defiant gesture to society at large for continually presuming them to be miscreant. This past week the Apollo 11 crew was at the White House welcomed by the president of a new generation of dreamers. Our great nation put a man on the moon, but it can't train its cops to distinguish between an ordinary brown-skinned brother and a criminal. At its least injurious, as with Gates and myself, this leads to bruised pride and reputation; at its worst, Grant or Edwards gets killed. President Kennedy famously said, "We choose to go the moon ... and do the other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard." Maybe properly educating, screening and training our nation's police is one of "the other things." My son is 7 years old. May our generation have accomplished this other thing before he's a young man, and before we've sent a man to Mars. The challenge is one that many Americans are willing to accept -- one, that for the sake of our children, all Americans should be unwilling to postpone. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Jeffrey Wright.

A celebrity porn website owner has blocked access to hacked naked pictures of leading celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton after his sleazy website was exposed. The Russian - who ran the site from his home in industrial Samara - admitted: 'I am not thinking about further promoting of this website.' Sergei Kholodkovskii's lucrative exploitation of hacked pictures was highlighted by MailOnline but since then he has stopped updating the site with new images, and appears to be blocking access to images of women who have complained about their private pictures being used. Sergei Kholodovskii (right) was unmasked as an IT expert behind a site which hosts nude celebrity images - and insists his wife Yana Sotova (left) has no problem with it . Sergei Kholodkovskii's lucrative exploitation of hacked pictures was highlighted by MailOnline. His pole-dancing wife Yana (right), 25, said the pictures were all taken 'from open sources' Lucrative pop-up advertising also no longer seems to be part of the site. Images of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Rita Ora and a number of other women appear to be blocked, while others for Kim Kardashian, Kelly Brook, and Scarlett Johansson remain on the site, though no new pictures have been posted for almost two weeks. Drag racer Kholodkovskii, 28, was tracked down to Samara in southern Russia. He used a website registered in Arizona to post indecent pictures of the stars. Kholodovskii appears to be blocking access to images of women who have complained about their private pictures being used . Drivers: The couple are both drag racing drivers and live in a southern Russian town where he runs the site . Actresses and models were outraged after intimate photos of them emerged online at the end of August, when they were shared by users of the anonymous photo-sharing site 4chan. The images had been uploaded to iCloud, an online storage system available to all Apple users which synchronises with iPhones and iPads. It is thought many of the victims would have had their photos uploaded automatically without realising they had allowed the process to happen through their devices' security settings. Users' iCloud accounts are private, but hackers found a vulnerability in one of the site's login pages which allowed them to enter multiple passwords until they cracked users' details. Apple quickly fixed the glitch, but by then the damage had been done. Today it emerged 100,000 more videos and images have been leaked online after they were intercepted from Snapchat (above). The pictures are feared to contain a large cache of child pornography, as half of the app's users are aged between 13 and 17. Images sent using the app are designed to disappear after they have been viewed once, but recipients can take screenshots of the pictures and forward them to other people. He strongly denies that he was responsible for the hacking, as did his pole-dancing wife Yana, 25, who said the pictures were all taken 'from open sources'. She admitted on her social network that her husband's exposure had been salutary after the story about the website, featuring naked pictures of stars, was taken up by by the Moscow media. 'In Russia this story was broadcast on all the channels and all the media wrote about it. In one day our life turned to something like hell,' she complained, not mentioning the angst for celebrities whose private pictures were featured by her husband without their permission. But she admitted the couple may avoid travelling to the West where her husband could be at risk of prosecution. 'We should probably only go on holidays to Crimea now,' she said. Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence, 24, called the publication of pictures 'a sex crime, a sexual violation'. Kelly Brook, 34, complained of 'a sex crime and a complete invasion of privacy.' Kholodkovskii initially claimed that the site belonged to a mystery Russian living in Europe but later admitted he collected thousands of hacked images and videos after they were posted on various web sources. 'The first pictures appeared on the internet on August 31 and I decided to make a website and to carry out an experiment if people were interested in such photographs. 'And it turned out they were very much interested. I posted the pictures to the website and it quickly became popular.' He alleged stars sent him their pictures to be included on his site - which we are not naming. Asked who volunteered their naked images, he said: ' I do not remember the names of those celebrities.' He also complained to the Russian media that he had been found by British journalists even though 'all my personal details were closed'. In fact they were not, since he had openly registered his name as a website owner and registered the address of his mother - who works in a jewellery shop - in Togliatti, a Russian city best known as the home of Lada cars. He did not appear to give the same privacy concerns to the women whose pictures he uploaded, after they were stolen from Apple's iCloud. He said his site is now 'living its own life' and he was no longer promoting it. Earlier he alleged that many of the stars got 'good publicity' from the exposure. Speaking out: The actress Jennifer Lawrence said of the leak: 'It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed'

(CNN) -- Not everyone gets it. But for some of us, travel is best expressed through celebration. We prefer to exchange culture over the clinking of glasses and between the flashes of strobe lights. Conversations punctuated by "Prost!" and "Salud!" show us more than any guidebook. I view myself as a kind of international nightlife connoisseur. As an entrepreneur, author and all-around life enthusiast, I've been around the world many times over. And of everyone I know, I feel the most qualified to throw an absurd list like this together. Each city is judged on four criteria, each given a score from one-to-10 . 1. Hours. How late each night and how many nights per week is the party good? 2. People. Is it a good crowd -- cosmopolitan, friendly and, yes, good looking? 3. Music. Judged on quality and variety offered in each city. 4. Experience. How likely you are to have an experience that you'll still be telling your friends about a decade from now. I'm embarrassed to admit how much time I spent on this list (seriously, there was an Excel spreadsheet involved), but I finally narrowed it to 10 cities and I'm confident with the end result. First, my honorary mentions: Hong Kong, Sydney, Miami, Stockholm, Tokyo and Tel Aviv. My apologies party people, but the competition was stiff. 10. Bangkok . Hours: 7 . People: 5 . Music: 5 . Experience: 10 . Total: 27 . A lot of travelers continue to pass through Bangkok not realizing there's more to it than the seedy dregs of Soi Cowboy, or the backpacker haven of Khao San Road. Bangkok has developed a vibrant and classy side as the city has become more cosmopolitan. Whether it's a series of gorgeous rooftop hotel bars downtown, rock bars near Ratchathewi, dance clubs just off Sukhumvit or trendy pubs in Thlonglor and Ekamai, there's legitimate, quality adventure to be had. Best place to mingle with the locals: The young kids prefer RCA, while many of the city's beautiful people are drawn to the clubs on Sukhumvit Soi 11 or upscale Ku De Ta, among others. 9. Buenos Aires . Hours: 9 . People: 7 . Music: 6 . Experience: 7 . Total: 29 . "The Paris of the South" puts a New World spin on the insane Spanish practice of eating dinner at midnight and then dancing until dawn. While living there, I remember trying to go home as the sun came up and an Argentinian friend telling me she wanted to go to an after-party instead. It was eight in the morning. On a Wednesday. Although not as affordable as it used to be, Buenos Aires is still a relative bargain among major world cities. The locals love good rock music, too. Best itinerary: Start with the calmer bars of Recoleta and work your way up to the taverns of Palermo Hollywood. There's no rush, believe me. 8. Las Vegas . Hours: 8 . People: 8 . Music: 6 . Experience: 9 . Total: 31 . A staple. No nightlife list would be complete without it. Sin City has something for everybody, from NBA power forwards blowing their signing bonuses to middle-agers gambling their way through a midlife crisis. I tend to stick to the southern end of the strip -- Marquee, XS, Tao -- but it's hard to have a bad night out in Vegas. Best place to waste your life savings and love every second of it: XS in the Encore. Get to this nightclub early or suffer through the two-hour line. 7. Montreal . Hours: 8 . People: 8 . Music: 8 . Experience: 8 . Total: 32 . Montreal is the undiscovered party gem of North America. Beautiful, friendly people, all night dancing to a wide variety of music. And, of course, the summer festivals. Obvious tip, but still good to keep in mind: Don't go in winter. Best place to learn why the French do it better: Wood 35. Good drinks, good food. 6. Barcelona . Hours: 9 . People: 8 . Music: 8 . Experience: 7 . Total: 32 . The first rule of Barcelona is that you don't stay on Las Ramblas. The second rule of Barcelona is that you don't stay on Las Ramblas. Guidebooks and pub crawls funnel the least savvy visitors there. Other parts of the city are far more interesting at night. Well, early morning. Clubs don't get going until well past 1 a.m. each day. Most of the top clubs are scattered throughout the northern part of the city. Best place to wake up early for: Row 14. Doesn't get going until 6 a.m. 5. London . Hours: 9 . People: 6 . Music: 10 . Experience: 7 . Total: 32 . The world epicenter of corner pubs touts some of the ritziest and most prestigious nightclubs in the world. You can enjoy fantastic music almost any night of the week here. And there will always be the pubs. Best place to suffer local pretension: Chinawhite. Tell them you know a promoter named Becker even though you don't. You might get in. 4. Sao Paulo, Brazil . Hours: 9 . People: 9 . Music: 7 . Experience: 8 . Total: 33 . Sao Paulo is the dark horse on this list. Often overshadowed by its more beautiful and glamorous sister, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo is actually the cultural hub of Brazil. The city's glory isn't apparent upon arrival. The place isn't beautiful. But dig into the sprawling concrete mass and you'll find greater diversity and intensity on a nightly basis than almost any other place in the world. Best place to dance with a hot Brazilian until he/she has to go straight to work: D-Edge on a Thursday after 1 a.m. 3. New York City . Hours: 7 . People: 10 . Music: 9 . Experience: 8 . Total: 34 . Although it's not true that the "city never sleeps" (it's usually done by 3 or 4 a.m.), New York City scores big simply because it offers something for everybody on any night of the week. Warehouse parties in Brooklyn, mega-clubs in Meatpacking, trendy hipster joints in the East Village, hotel lounges, college bars, indie rock shows, loft parties, hip hop and jazz, heavy metal and opera -- there's almost no limit to the ways this city entertains you. Best place to buy a single drink for more than you spend on some nights out: Meatpacking District. Bring a credit card. 2. Berlin . Hours: 10 . People: 6 . Music: 10 . Experience: 9 . Total: 35 . If a city's mental health was determined by how many hours of the week its clubs weren't active, Berlin would be a lunatic in a straightjacket, repeatedly slamming its head against a padded wall. Witness: walking out of a venue at 9 a.m. on a Sunday to find that there's still a line to get in; a club with beds installed on its bottom floor so patrons can sleep without the inconvenience of having to leave; ceilings made completely of LED lights; a swimming pool next to the dance floor; bouncers with face tattoos. Best place(s) to experience the big-club vibe: Berghaim. If you can't get in (it's random), then Watergate. 1. Ibiza, Spain . Hours: 10 . People: 9 . Music: 9 . Experience: 9 . Total: 37 . Every party hound must make a pilgrimage to Ibiza at least once. The venues aren't as much clubs as they are life experiences. Nowhere else have I seen a wind tunnel built into a dance floor or parade floats and foam dropped from the ceiling like it's the Fourth of July indoors. In Ibiza, you do beach parties during the day, hotel bars in the evening and dance to the best DJs in the world all night. Sleep not recommended. Best place to have an out-of-body techno experience: The clubs in Ibiza Town (rather than San Antonio) are worth the extra expense. Tell us about your own favorite party cities in the comments.

Many travelers pass through Bangkok not realizing there's more to it than the seedy areas . The first rule of Barcelona is that you don't stay on Las Ramblas . Ibiza is a nightclub mecca and every party hound must make a pilgrimage there at least once .

(CNN) -- England prides itself on being the home of football, but is the nation dysfunctional in dealing with racist abuse? Last week British anti-racism group Kick It Out (KIO) published the results of a survey asking over 4,000 English footballers about their experiences of racist abuse. Just 200 chose to respond. Of those to reply in the anonymous consultation, 24% said they have been subjected to racist abuse in football stadiums, while 57% claim they have witnessed racist abuse. "It's enough of a sample -- it's never been done before," KIO trustee Garth Crooks told CNN. "We simply don't have the resources to conduct a wide enough survey and to get the numbers that might make the likes of CNN jump up and down," said Crooks, who was the first black chairman of the Professional Footballers' Association -- the players' union. He's also a former player. While KIO struggles with resources, Crooks also laid bare the tensions that exist within the professional game, criticizing the English Football Association, the League Managers' Association and the clubs themselves for not doing enough to address the problem of racism. In October England manager Roy Hodgson had to defend himself against a racism slur after using the "feed the monkey" punchline from an old NASA joke when telling defender Chris Smalling to pass the ball to winger Andros Townsend during a World Cup qualifier. Smalling and Townsend are both black. "I would like to apologize if any offense has been caused by what I said at halftime," the 66-year-old Hodgson told British media at the time. "There was absolutely no intention on my part to say anything inappropriate. However Crooks says that's just not good enough and called on the League Managers' Association, the body which represents English coaches, to show more leadership. "So Roy Hodgson isn't making stupid, inappropriate comments at halftime in the dressing room during a World Cup qualifying match." CNN contacted the LMA for comment and is awaiting a response. "These football clubs are employers," added Crooks. "They have a duty to their staff, and their staff to their employers. "Why is this happening? Why should football get some kind of special concession because they're footballers and football clubs?" he wondered. Almost all of the footballers surveyed by KIO -- 91% -- agreed that "social media has led to an increase in them receiving discriminatory abuse," the organization said in a statement. Former England and Liverpool striker Stan Collymore has -- more than once -- said he has been racially abused on Twitter, and two years ago a 21-year-old student was sent to jail for racist comments he made on Twitter after Bolton midfielder Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch against Tottenham in a game and almost died. The 21-year-old had pleaded guilty to the Racially Aggravated s4A Public order Act 1986. The KIA survey of players also found that 92% of players thought fan-on-player discrimination was common or extremely common, and 69% of players felt that, due to their profession, they are more exposed to abuse. All of this was enhanced by the rise of social media. "What the social media platforms need to do is acknowledge the level of the problem and introduce some specific procedures," said KIO spokesman Richard Bates. "There has to be a more proactive stance." Twitter was not immediately available for comment and Facebook declined to provide an official response. But Crooks is more concerned that the clubs aren't taking enough of a proactive approach. "I'd like to see them conducting mentoring sessions with football players right across the board in order that players understand the impact making silly statements on Twitter can have on themselves and their clubs," he said. "It is an employer's duty to ensure that its staff behave in an appropriate manner. A lot of players on social networking sites are making some remarkable pronouncements and it's bringing the game into disrepute, and also bringing the club and its brand into question." The FA admitted more could be done to educate players. "Relaying key messages around equality and inclusion into the often 'closed off' domain of the dressing room is something the game as a whole needs to keep working on," said the FA in a statement. "We hope our new Reporting Discrimination films, which show players exactly what to do when they hear or see discrimination, is one such tool." The English Premier League said in a statement: "All Premier League clubs have social media policies for their players and the League itself produced social media guidelines, at the request of our member clubs, in 2012. "Additionally, the Premier League education department runs social media training sessions for Academy players, and has done so for the last three seasons." KIO was established in 1993 to try to confront racist attitudes within the game. The group says it works with the leagues, clubs, fans and players in combating racism. The KIO survey was carried out between August 2013 and December 2013 and followed footballer Jason Roberts' refusal in 2012 to wear a T-shirt in support of the anti-racism campaign group due to what he saw was the football authorities' failure to come down hard on those who are found guilty of racism. "This is not an attack on Kick It Out," Roberts told the Guardian in October 2012. "I am passionate about what the Professional Footballers' Association represents and Kick It Out but they (the league) have to do better, we have to do better." Crooks has mixed views on Roberts' stance. "He was right, football wasn't doing enough. I've less sympathy with the way he went about it. We want the same things. That is, we want football to not appear apologetic to racist behavior," the former Tottenham striker said. "We have bans now, we have automatic bans -- a minimum five matches for the football league, 10 matches for UEFA, and that's fine. But the process can take forever." Crooks is referring to the time it took the FA to handle high-profile cases involving a handful of players including Nicolas Anelka. However, England's governing body insisted it was important not to rush these cases in order to reach a fair verdict. "Many of the cases the FA presides over require detailed expert consideration of a range of issues, where assistance from outside the organization is often enlisted...," it said in a statement. "To that end, and to get a fair and satisfactory outcome, the process isn't always a swift one." Nearly two months had passed before Anelka was punished for the controversial "quenelle" gesture he made in late December, arguably creating a vacuum for plenty of heated debate. Last month Anelka was banned for five matches and fined £80,000 ($130,000) by the FA for performing the gesture after scoring for West Brom in a Premier League match against West Ham. The "quenelle," which the former France international said was dedicated to his comedian friend Dieudonne M'Bala M'Bala -- who uses it as part of his act -- is believed by some to be a Nazi salute in reverse and has been linked with anti-Semitism in Anelka's homeland. Crooks, the former union chairman, despairs at the way Anelka's case was handled. "It's taken the best part of two months to make a decision that should've been done in two weeks," Crooks said. "If Anelka had apologized, which he should have done, and West Brom had imposed a two-week fine immediately, it would've been done and dusted. "Here the first thing that the employer does is to protect the player because he's a famous footballer. "There is a lot that is fundamentally wrong with the way football deals with racism and West Brom is a very clear example of that." West Brom declined to respond directly to Crooks' criticism, but pointed to the statement it released on March 14 after Anelka quit the club. "The club considers the conduct of Nicolas Anelka on December 28, coupled with his purported termination on Social Media this evening, to be gross misconduct. As a result the club has tonight written to Nicolas Anelka giving him 14 days' notice of termination as required under his contract," it said at the time. When the row broke out, Anelka defended his actions on social media, arguing his gesture was "anti-system" rather than anti-Semitic. "This is a dedication to Dieudonne. With regard to the ministers who give their own interpretations of my quenelle, they are the ones that create confusion and controversy without knowing what it really means, this gesture," the Frenchman wrote on Twitter. "And of course, I am neither racist nor anti-Semitic and I fully assume (stand by) my gesture." So while the talk and the rants on social media sites grows ever more vitriolic, and controversial, it sounds as if England's football authorities have plenty of work to do - not least in coming up with a co-ordinated strategy in dealing with the issue of race and discrimination.

By . Ellie Zolfagharifard . PUBLISHED: . 10:33 EST, 13 January 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 10:47 EST, 13 January 2014 . The seemingly placid appearance of the sun in our skies hides its true nature as a hot fireball of plasma in constant turmoil. In reality a complex network, invisible to the naked eye, surrounds the solar disc, with cells of hotter and colder plasma merging and disappearing within hours of each other. The boundaries between these constantly moving cells are hectic places. Powerful jets of plasma are often launched whenever the cell pattern changes. There was something about this bright coronal mass ejection (cropped but un-retouched) on 27 February 2002 that suggested the splash of colour found in a flower petal, especially when copied into a circular pattern. Add an extreme ultraviolet image of the sun, and the artists suggests a recreation of oneness in the universe . The extreme ultraviolet images come to Earth from the SOHO spacecraft in black and white. Then they are consistently colour coded for easy identification. For this May 1998 image, the nearly simultaneous images from three different ultraviolet imagers were each given a colour code (red, yellow and blue) and digitally merged into one . SOHO stands for Solar and Heliospheric Observatory and is a satellite that studies the sun 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without interruptions. It is currently in orbit between the Earth and the sun. It is about 150,703,456 km (92 million miles) from the sun. The spacecraft has 12 scientific instruments collecting information about the sun ranging from activity in the sun's corona to vibrations deep in the sun's interior. These changes may happen as a result of variations in the magnetic field – known as ‘magnetic reconnection’. To learn more about these reconnection jets and what causes them, scientists observe the sun at different wavelengths using a variety of techniques. These images, published under the title ‘The sun as Art’, reveal a series of scientific observations performed with the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) to understand our star. One image, which looks more like an . abstract painting that a scientific study, shows 60 frames taken with . the ultraviolet spectrometer SUMER on SOHO over 10 minutes. This image shows a coronal mass ejection (CME) headed right towards Earth. A CME is a massive burst of solar wind and magnetic fields rising above the solar corona or being released into space. An extreme ultraviolet image of the sun is shown here with an expanding cloud of particles heading out on all sides of the star. The cloud impacted Earth about two days later . This image, which could be mistaken for a piece of abstract art, shows a series of observations performed with the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) to study the evolution of reconnection jets on a small patch of the sun's surface.

By . Ashley Collman . A Massachusetts hospital is under investigation after two women died giving birth to healthy children within a month of each other. Maternal deaths in the United States are quite rare and happened just three times in the state last year. Colleen Celia, 32, died last week during a planned Caesarian section at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth. She was preceded in death by Christie Fazio, 30, who died on December 14. According to family, the two women were able to hold their children before passing away. Left behind: Paul Celia (left) and John Fazio (right) became widowers within a month of each other after their wives Colleen Celia and Christie Fazio died in childbirth. Above, Mr Celia holds daughter Mya and Mr Fazio holds son Johnathan . Under investigation: The South Shore Hospital in Weymouth is being investigated by the state public health department over the deaths . On Sunday, the hospital released a statement saying that their staff did all they could in attempting to save the women. 'It is too early to know the exact nature of the underlying factors that led to these tragic outcomes,' the statement read. 'All signs suggest that the two situations were unrelated, unanticipated and unpreventable.' Hospitals are required to report maternal deaths and other serious injuries within seven days and file an additional follow-up report after 30 days. Mrs Celia, a patient coordinator at Vanguard Medical, was already a mother of three children, ages 14, 9 and 6. She had given birth to her other children vaginally but delivered daughter Mya Rose via c-section after her pregnancy was ruled high-risk. High risk: 32-year-old Colleen Celia had previously given birth to three other children, but scheduled a Caesarian section at South Shore Hospital last week since her pregnancy was deemed 'high-risk' Mother taken: Mrs Celia left behind four children including her newborn Mya. Her previous children range in age from 6 to 14 . Doctors told her family that she died from an amniotic fluid embolism which happens when there is a blockage in the bloodstream. Her husband Paul Celia, 31, was in the room as she slipped away. 'I wouldn’t leave her,' Mr Celia told the Boston Herald. 'They tried everything they could to save her.' Mr Celia says he's not angry at the hospital, but he would like to make sure it doesn't happen again. It was unclear whether Mrs Fazio underwent a c-section or vaginal birth. She was able to briefly hold her son Jonathan before doctors noticed she was bleeding and tried to save her. Meeting her son: Christie Fazio died on December 14. She was briefly able to hold her son Jonathan before doctors noticed her bleeding and tried to save her . Her husband John Fazio, 27, also spoke with the Herald and said he is dealing with her death by taking comfort that she is 'with the lord'. Mr Fazio also treasures the newborn son she left behind. 'I definitely see Christie’s face in him,' Fazio said. 'I get strength from that smile.' Mr Celia echoed the same sentiment, calling newborn daughter Mya a gift. Hospital staff are also having a hard time dealing with the deaths. Previous gifts: John Fazio says he takes comfort in his newborn son who has Christie's face. 'I get strength from that smile,' he said. Spokesman Sarah Darcy told the Enterprise News that the maternity ward 'has been understandably devastated'. 'Their focus right now is on supporting these two families,' Ms Darcy said Sunday. The Board of Registration in Medicine lists no discipline or malpractice decision against any obstetricians at the hospital. Maternal deaths happen just 650 times a year in the U.S. Maternal deaths have been on the rise and are double what they were 25 years ago, but most of that is contributed to better reporting and environmental reasons.

The BBC is on a collision course with some of its highly-paid presenters over the freelance contracts that can enable tax bills to be reduced. It told the Government that it would move within weeks to phase out the contracts, which allow workers to register themselves as ‘personal service companies’ and be taxed as companies and not individuals. But more than 6,000 freelancers are involved and the corporation is said to be struggling as it seeks to unravel the complex ways in which stars are paid. Tax row: Newsnight's Jeremy Paxman and newsreader Sophie Raworth are among those rumoured to be paid through 'personal service companies' The corporation has pledged to end the paying of stars – reported to include Newsnight’s Jeremy Paxman and newsreaders Fiona Bruce, Joanna Gosling, Emily Maitlis, Gavin Esler and Sophie Raworth – through ‘personal service companies’. It is thought that forcing them on to the staff pay roll might mean an effective pay cut of between 10 and 20 per cent. There is no suggestion that any of the individuals named have acted improperly but  MPs accused the BBC of having ‘staggeringly inappropriate’ arrangements in place for many employees and said it could be ‘complicit’ in tax avoidance. MPs accused the BBC of having 'staggeringly inappropriate' arrangements in place for many employees and said it could be 'complicit' in tax avoidance . This is because the rate of corporation tax – which companies pay on profits – is lower than the income tax that high-earning individuals face. Rod Liddle, the former editor of Radio 4’s Today programme, said staff were in ‘open revolt’. Rod Liddle, the former editor of Radio 4’s Today programme, said staff were in 'open revolt' ‘The BBC is in deep trouble,’ he added. ‘Right now its top presenters are all out of contract because of the concerns that some of them used private companies to squirrel away their dosh.’ To buy more time, the corporation is reported to be busy ‘extending’ and ‘continuing’ contracts. ‘Every presenter is different,’ said a source. ‘Many of them do different kinds of work. It is not about people refusing. 'The BBC have announced something that has turned out to be very difficult.’ The corporation identified 124 top names earning £150,000 a year or more via companies. But some, including Paxman, said they were ordered to do so by BBC managers.

Pope Francis, already Time Magazine's 'person of the year,' has had a repeat of the honour from an unexpected quarter. The Advocate, America's oldest gay rights magazine, chose the head of the Catholic Church as the 'single most influential person of 2013 on the lives of LGBT people.' That's despite the church's longstanding conflict with the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community over its opposition to same-sex marriage and to homosexuality more generally. 'The single most influential person of 2013 on the lives of LGBT people': Pope Francis waves during his inauguration mass at St Peter's square in March. In July he famously said he would not 'judge' homosexuals . 'While 2013 will be remembered for the work of hundreds in advancing marriage equality, it will also be remembered for the example of one man,' wrote the online magazine in announcing its choice. The pontiff famously said this summer he would not 'judge' homosexuals. Those remarks, the Advocate said, 'became a signal to Catholics and the world that the new pope is not like the old pope.' Francis 'has not yet said the Catholic Church supports civil unions' between same-sex couples, but the comments he has made have 'already caused reflection and consternation within his church.' As the leader of the world's 1.2billion Catholics, the editorial noted, 'like it or not, what he says makes a difference.' None of the gay community's disagreements with Catholic clergy - such as over the role of women and contraception - 'should lead us to underestimate any pope's capacity for persuading hearts and minds in opening to LGBT people, and not only in the US, but globally,' the magazine said. Spiritual figurehead: As the leader of the world's 1.2billion Catholics, the editorial in the Advocate announcing the decision to honour Pope Francis noted, 'like it or not, what he says makes a difference' The Pope spoke out on homosexuality during an intimate address to journalists aboard a jet taking him home from his visit to Brazil in July. In remarks at odds with traditional rhetoric, the Pontiff refused to condemn homosexuality, saying: ‘We must  be brothers.’ In the most conciliatory words yet from the Vatican on the subject of gay priests, he added: ‘If a person is gay and seeks God and has goodwill, who am I to judge him?’ He stressed that the official position of the Church is that homosexual acts are sinful, but homosexual urges and thoughts are not. But the message that gay people should be ‘integrated’ into society rather than marginalised marked a clear departure for the Papacy. In recent years the pronouncements of Francis’s predecessor Pope Benedict had fiercely condemned gay rights and at one point the former Pope described gay relationships as ‘evil’. The U.S. gay rights community has had particular success this year in fighting to legalize same-sex marriage. In June, the Supreme Court struck down the 'Defense of Marriage Act,' which restricted federal marriage benefits to heterosexual couples.

By . Liz Thomas and Nick Enoch . PUBLISHED: . 19:40 EST, 29 May 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 08:40 EST, 30 May 2012 . Millions of television viewers saw her naked in Sherlock  - and millions more watched her on BBC's iPlayer. Such has been the pull of actress Lara Pulver in the episode A Scandal In Belgravia that it has become the most watched show on the catch-up service this year. Her character, Irene Adler, appeared nude (except for high heels) in the detective show, which was seen by 2.5million viewers online. This was 600,000 more than the next most watched show, which was the third instalment of Sherlock, The Reichenbach Fall. Lara Pulver as Irene Adler in Sherlock - the most watched show on BBC's iPlayer this year so far . The episode, A Scandal In Belgravia (starring Benedict Cumberbatch, left) has been seen online by 2.5million viewers . The arrival of the internet was supposed to herald the end of TV viewing but instead it is fuelling the nation’s addiction to TV shows. And the iPlayer is fuelling the boom in online viewing with an average of 190million programmes a month watched on the service between January and April this year. This is jump of 24 per cent on 2011 with Sherlock leading demand to watch shows again or to catch up on them later. Although more than eight million watched the programme on television, the average number of iPlayer requests across the series topped 2 million per show. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Sherlock is one of the BBC’s biggest hits but its success online may be down to its cryptic ending. It is thought thousands watched the series back to try to uncover clues as to how Holmes was able to fake his own death. Show creator Steven Moffat has added to the suspense by posting comments and hints such as a clue is in the fact that Holmes did 'something out of character'. He added: ‘So many people theorising - and they missed it.’ One fan wrote on his blog Barefoot on Baker Street: ‘Moffat has revealed that fans have ‘missed a vital clue’ - which has made us all turn to BBC iPlayer, Sky Plus etc and watch the whole thing again in the hope of being the one to solve the mystery, a mystery worthy of the great detective himself. The episode, entitled The Reichenbach Fall, was based on the 1893 Arthur Conan Doyle book The Final Problem, in which the author famously killed off the eccentric detective. Viewers watch Holmes view his own funeral from a distance after minutes earlier appearing to leap to his death from a tower block. Within minutes social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook were flooded with fans offering conspiracy theories and explanations. Many admitted they had watched the episodes repeatedly to try and work out how he could have survived. Moffat has said all would be made clear in the third series, which will broadcast later this year. On the rise: A BBC spokesperson said they had seen a 94 per cent rise in the number of people using iPlayer on mobile phones or tablets . Sherlock was by far the most popular programme to watch online in the year to date, with The Voice, The Apprentice and Top Gear all downloaded around 1-1.5 million times after they aired on the BBC. For radio programmes, Radio 4’s The Now Show, and Chris Moyles Breakfast Show were the most popular to listen again to. A spokesman for ITV said people watched 376 million programmes on its ITV Player service, an increase from 261 million in 2010. Most popular shows include Downton Abbey, The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent, but the broadcaster has yet to release figures for this year. More and more people are watching on tablets, iPads,mobile phones and modern televisions as technology improves. A BBC spokesman said it had seen a 94 per cent jump in the number of people using iPlayer on mobiles and tablets, and last month they accounted for 15 per cent of the online catch up viewing. It comes after research from media regulator Ofcom revealed traditional TV viewing is at a ten-year high with the average person now watching four hours a week. And the over-55 audience is watching the most - with more than five hours a day spent in front of the box. The watchdog credited the 'Downton Abbey' and 'The X Factor' effect for a boom in traditional viewing. But said that many people 'multi-tasked' while watching television , so would be simultaneously texting, or using social networking sites. The economic crisis has also had an impact on the amount of time spent at home. Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor have become 'appointment to view' programmes that are talked about as soon as they are broadcast - making it an increasingly social activity.
