"A telescope in Chile has captured a stunning view of 'God's Hand' 1,300 light years away.",
"The cometary globule, also known as CG4, shines brightly in this spectacular image, and looks as though it is about to grab at stars.",
"Although it appears vivid in this picture, this is in fact a faint nebula, which makes it very hard for amateur sky watchers to spot.",

"A telescope in Chile has captured a stunning view of 'God's Hand' 1,300 light years away.The cometary globule, also known as CG4, shines brightly in this spectacular image, and looks as though it is about to grab at stars.",
"Astronomers believe it is powered by the leftover, dense core of a star that blew up in a supernova explosion.",
"But its exact nature remains a mystery.",
"In 1976 several elongated comet-like objects were discovered on pictures taken with the UK Schmidt Telescope in Australia.",
"Because of their appearance, they became known as cometary globules even though they have nothing in common with comets.",
"They had dense, dark, dusty heads and long, faint tails, which were generally pointing away from the Vela supernova remnant located at the centre of the Gum Nebula.",
"Although these objects are relatively close by, it took astronomers a long time to find them as they glow very dimly and are therefore hard to detect.",
"The nebula is powered by the leftover, dense core of a star that blew up in a supernova explosion.",
"The stellar corpse, called PSR B1509-58, or B1509 for short, is a pulsar: it rapidly spins around, seven times per second, firing out a particle wind into the material around it .",
"God's Hand is a pulsar wind nebula.",
"It's powered by the leftover, dense core of a star that blew up in a supernova explosion.",
"The stellar corpse, called PSR B1509-58, or B1509 for short, is a pulsar.",
"it rapidly spins around, seven times per second, firing out a particle wind into the material around it.",
"These particles are interacting with magnetic fields around the material, causing it to glow with X-rays.",
"It is located about 1300 light-years from Earth in the constellation of Puppis .",
"The object shown in this latest picture, CG4, which is also sometimes referred to as the Mouth of the Beast, is one of these cometary globules.",
"The fist of 'God's Hand', which is the part visible on this image and resembles the head of the gigantic beast, has a diameter of 1.5 light-years.",
"The tail of the globule — which extends downwards and is not visible in the image — is about eight light-years long.",
"By astronomical standards this makes it a comparatively small cloud.",
"The relatively small size is a general feature of cometary globules.",
"All of the cometary globules found so far are isolated, relatively small clouds of neutral gas and dust within the Milky Way, which are surrounded by hot ionised material.",
"The head part of CG4 is a thick cloud of gas and dust, which is only visible because it is illuminated by the light from nearby stars.",
"The radiation emitted by these stars is gradually destroying the head of the globule and eroding away the tiny particles that scatter the starlight.",
"However, the dusty cloud of CG4, captured by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, still contains enough gas to make several sun-sized stars.",
"The head part of CG4 is a thick cloud of gas and dust, which is only visible because it is illuminated by the light from stars.",
"This wide-field image shows a rich region of the sky in the constellation of Puppis (The Poop).",
"At the centre lies the strange cometary globule CG4.",
"Other interesting objects are also seen, including several much more distant spiral galaxies .",
"Why CG4 and other cometary globules have their distinct form is still a matter of debate among astronomers and two theories have developed.",
"Cometary globules could originally have been spherical nebulae, which were disrupted and acquired their new, unusual form because of the effects of a nearby supernova explosion.",
"Other astronomers suggest, that cometary globules are shaped by stellar winds and ionising radiation from hot, massive stars.",
"These effects could first lead to the bizarrely named formations known as elephant trunks and then eventually cometary globules.",
"To find out more, astronomers need to find out the mass, density, temperature, and velocities of the material in the globules.",
"These can be determined by the measurements of molecular spectral lines which are most easily accessible at millimetre wavelengths — wavelengths at which telescopes like the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (Alma) operate.",
"This chart of the southern constellation of Puppis (The Poop, part of the mythological ship Argo) shows most of the stars visible with the naked eye on a dark and clear night.",
"The position of the strange cometary globule CG4 is marked by a red ring ."

"'We devoted enormous resources, and always devote enormous resources, to freeing captives or hostages anywhere in the world, and I deployed an entire operation at significant risk to rescue not only (Mueller), but the other individuals that had been held, and probably missed them by a day or two – precisely because we had that commitment.'",

"Boasting seven decks, two pools, multiple hot tubs and a 275 square metre master suite, a new record-breaking superyacht is set to redefine the limits of luxury boat building.",
"Costing £788million to build and measuring 222 metres in length, when completed Triple Deuce will be the most expensive and largest superyacht ever constructed.",
"The luxury boat will surpass the remarkable standards set by Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich's 163m Eclipse, and the current record-holding 182 metres-long yacht owned by the President of the United Arab Emirates.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"The new record breaking yacht, brokered by the company 4Yacht, has been named Triple Deuce .",
"Remarkably, the boat - which will cost $30m a year to operate - will be longer than a Costa cruise ship .",
"Once completed the new yacht will surpass Azzam (pictured), which is owned by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the United Arab Emirates .",
"The world's current largest superyacht Azzam pictured during its launch in Germany in 2013 .",
"Expected to require between $20 and $30million a year in operating costs alone, the build costs more than the annual GDP of Western Sahara, the British Virgin Islands and Micronesia, CNN reported.",
"Although the identity of its owner remains a mystery, it is due to be completed in 2018 and is being purposely made 40m larger than the current record-holder in order to be difficult to beaten in size.",
"Reports suggest that despite its size, the luxury private yacht will only carry 36 guests with a crew of around 50 - 70 people.",
"The owner's suite will cover two stories across 275 metres-squared and offer unparalleled views, along with a private gym, office and dining room, according to Asian Pacific Boating.",
"It will also have two staterooms, an exclusive elevator drive in dock and private access to a helipad.",
"Guests will be entitled to use the yacht's outdoor and indoor pool, numerous hot tubs, spa facilities as well as a full time masseuse and hairdresser.",
"Triple Deuce's top speed will be over 30 knots (35mph) and will be powered by triple gas turbine engines with over 100,000 horsepower.",
"The vessel also has no rudders and will instead use electric podded propulsion units to manoeuvre.",
"This graphic reveals the current standings of superyachts owned by the world's megarich .",
"Craig Timm of 4Yacht, the broker of the building project, said its owner was motivated by boasting rights and construction, at an as yet undecided European shipyard, is expected to begin within the next 12 months.",
"He also said that the building work will take two to three million hours to build and bring in employment opportunities for 500 people for a period of three years.",
"'It's just like the competition to build the world's tallest building.",
"'Our client was concerned that if we built the yacht to 220m, then someone would come along like Roman Abramovich when he built Eclipse at 163.5m, and outdid Sheikh Maktoum's yacht, the 162m Dubai, by only 1.5m.",
"'By building the yacht to 222m, the owner wants to make it difficult, if not impossible, to be \"eclipsed\" himself.'",
"Abramovich's yacht was completed in December 2010 and is the world's third largest superyacht.",
"It requires 70 crew members to operate and features two helicopter pads, three launch boats and a mini-submarine.",
"When built, it took the title of world's biggest private yacht from the Dubai.",
"This had taken the crown from the 138m Rising Sun, owned at the time by American businessman Larry Ellison, which in turn took over from the 126m Octopus, owned by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.",
"However, Abramovich's reign as the owner of the world's largest superyacht was short lived - in 2013, the Emirati royal family knocked it off its perch with Azzam, which exceeded it in length by 16.5m.",
"At the time it was predicted - quite accurately - that this would trigger a new round of one-upmanship among the world's super rich.",
"Longer than 12 double-decker buses, not only is Azzam the biggest superyacht, it is also one of the fastest.",
"The 94,000 horsepower vessel can reach speeds of more than 30 knots, or 35mph.",

"Craig Hicks, 46, has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder for killing Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, his wife Yusor Mohammad, 21, and her sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, at their apartment near the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Tuesday afternoon.",
"Police said that Hicks, a self-proclaimed 'anti-theist', carried out the killings after a long-standing parking dispute but the victims' families believe it was a hate crime.",
"Speaking to Fusion, Yusor Mohammad's best friend, Amira Ata, also dismissed the idea it was over parking - 'there's plenty of space' - and said she believes they were targeted for being 'different'.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"Amira Ata (left) has dismissed the suggestion that her best friend, Yusor Mohammad (right), her husband and sister were killed over a parking dispute, saying their killer hated them 'because they were different' When she learned that her friends had been killed, she said she was not surprised that Hicks was accused of being the one behind it.",
"'I know that he's an aggressive man,' she said.",
"'That's not the first we've heard from him.'",
"She recounted an evening of dinner and board games at the couple's home at the end of last year, and after she left, Yusor heard a knock at the door, she said.",

"'Her husband is even nicer, her sister is even nicer – none of them would have said anything to make someone that angry.'",
"She added: 'I wonder if he just thought Deah was some white guy before his wife moved in... 'Deep down everyone in this community knows it was a hate crime.",
"But how do you prove it?' Police were still trying to determine whether religious hatred played any role in the shootings.",

"The unmanned vehicle was returning from the ISS, carrying with it about 4,000lbs (1,800kg) of cargo including science experiments and equipment.",
"And, in a stunning image, the capsule was spotted above Earth before it made its way back through the atmosphere.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"This amazing image shows the moments after the Dragon capsule was released from the ISS before returning to Earth early yesterday morning.",
"The SpaceX spacecraft was detached from the ISS on 10 Feb by Expedition 42 crewmembers Samantha Cristoforetti of Esa and Terry Virts of Nasa using the robotic arm on the station .",
"The image, taken at 0044 GMT (1944 EST)shows the Dragon capsule flying free above a coastline, with its solar panels extended and its service module still attached.",
"When the spacecraft begins to enter the atmosphere, both the panels and the service module are jettisoned.",
"This is because they cannot survive the temperatures of re-entry, while the top capsule can - it is designed to bring cargo back from the ISS to Earth.",
"Ultimately, a modified version of Dragon will begin taking astronauts to and from the ISS, possibly as early as 2017.",
"Dragon splashed down about 260 miles (420km) southwest of Long Beach, California after a journey of about five and a half hours from the ISS.",
"Its return overlapped with the company’s Falcon 9 launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, which took place last night.",
"This latest Dragon mission was SpaceX’s fifth scheduled cargo mission to the ISS under contract with Nasa, and the seventh flight overall of the Dragon spacecraft.",
"The mission launched on 10 January 2015 atop a Falcon 9 rocket and arrived at the ISS on 12 January.",
"It brought with it more than 5,100lbs (2,300kg) or cargo, including provisions for the crew, science equipment and something called the Cloud Aerosol Transport System (Cats) - which will measure pollution in Earth’s atmosphere.",
"The image of Dragon was taken above the coast line of Salalah in Oman, shown above, David MacLean of Centre of Geographic Sciences told MailOnline .",

"At this lookout location, 92 million miles (148 million km) from the sun, it will provide advance warnings of incoming geomagnetic storms that could disrupt power and communications on Earth.",
"The steady stream of Earth pictures, meanwhile, is expected to be high on the 'wow' factor.",
"The observatory's camera will provide the first snapshots of the entire home planet, its full face lit by the sun, since Nasa's final Apollo moon-landing in 1972.",
"Subsequent Earth views have been stitched together from multiple images.",
"The launch of this mission also saw SpaceX attempt, for the first time, to land the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket on a floating barge.",
"The attempt was partially successful, with the rocket crash landing after running out of fuel - but almost hitting its target perfectly.",
"A second attempt was to be made on the launch of the Falcon 9 rocket yesterday on what was a busy day for SpaceX, but the landing had to be aborted after the barge was battered by high winds and waves.",
"Instead, the first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket performed a successful precision landing in the ocean to further refine the technology - although, of course, with no barge the rocket was left to sink into the sea.",
"The next attempt will not be until April, which will be the next Falcon 9 rocket that will be fitted with the landing legs necessary to make a landing attempt.",
"The launch, however, passed without a hitch.",
"The unmanned Falcon 9 rocket blasted off at 1103 GMT from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida in perfect weather conditions.",
"It carried with it Noaa's £220 million ($340 million) Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR), the first deep-space mission for SpaceX.",
"DSCOVR replaces a 17-year-old satellite monitoring for potentially dangerous solar storms, which can disrupt GPS signals, block radio communications and impact power grids on Earth.",

"Ed Miliband yesterday promised to increase the education budget every year – and echoed Tony Blair’s landmark 1997 election pledge to keep primary class sizes to a maximum of 30.",
"Mr Miliband told an audience at his old secondary school that if he wins office in May, spending on education will benefit from a ‘real terms’ increase every year of the next Parliament.",
"He accused David Cameron of planning to inflict ‘big cuts in spending’ which would ‘short change our children’s future’ if he is elected for a second term.",
"Labour leader Ed Miliband promised to create thousands of new school places in England to cap class sizes for five, six and seven year olds .",
"But the Labour leader’s promises were already unravelling last night as the Institute for Fiscal Studies think-tank suggested that the Labour and Tory plans came to virtually the same amount of money, with the Conservatives potentially spending even more.",
"Mr Miliband announced he would put £180million a year into capping class sizes at 30 pupils for five to seven year-olds.",
"Mr Blair, in his five-point pledge card for the 1997 election, had promised to cap class sizes at 30, and laws to ban classes bigger than this were enacted in 2001.",
"But by 2006 it emerged that nearly 30,000 pupils in 910 infant classes were being taught in groups larger than the legal limit, although Labour claimed at the time that the number of pupils taught in oversized groups had fallen by 477,000 between 1997 and 2006.",
"Mr Miliband has blamed the Coalition for allowing the number of young primary school pupils in classes of more than 30 to treble from 31,265 to 93,345 in four years.",
"Exceptions are only meant to be permitted in special circumstances such as to allow twins to be in the same class, or Armed Forces children to get a place at their local school.",
"Mr Miliband said that to take account of these exceptions, Labour would ban class sizes of more than 30 for any longer than 12 months.",
"He said the 30-pupil cap would be delivered by halting the creation of new free schools in areas where there are already state schools for children to attend.",
"The Labour leader, speaking at Haverstock School in North London, said education ‘is the passport to success in life’, adding: ‘The next Labour government will protect the overall education budget.",
"Rising budgets, protected in real terms, every year.’ The move is part of Labour's plan for education in England, including the appointment of new local 'directors of standards' to drive up schools' performance .",
"Mr Miliband set our his education plans in a speech at his old school, Haverstock School, in north London .",
"He won praise from teachers’ unions, but the Conservatives claimed that their spending plans, outlined by Mr Cameron last week, would actually involve spending more over the next five years.",
"The Prime Minister said he would keep the amount of funding per pupil – around £4,200 a year in primary school and £5,300 for secondary pupils – the same for the period.",
"This amounts to a real-terms cut per pupil, because it takes no account of rising inflation.",
"But the schools budget will go up because the number of schoolchildren aged between five and 15 will rise by 7 per cent in the next five years.",
"The Conservatives say this means they will spend £204.62billion on schools in the next Parliament, while Labour would spend slightly less at £204.03billion.",
"A spokesman for the Institute for Fiscal Studies said the policies ‘present different risks.",
"If inflation is higher than expected then a cash freeze per pupil could be less generous.",
"If the number of pupils increases by much more than expected, then it would be the other way around’.",

"Ed and David Miliband, pictured, used a controversial tax-avoidance scheme to reduce the amount of inheritance tax they owed .",
"Ed Miliband was forced to defend his own tax affairs yesterday after being accused of benefiting from a controversial tax-avoidance scheme.",
"The Labour leader has spent the week lambasting ‘tax dodgers’ in the wake of the HSBC scandal, but he now faces questions over his own family’s practices.",
"Mr Miliband and his family used a ‘deed of variation’ to divide the ownership of the family home in North London.",
"These legal documents – which change the terms of someone’s will after they have died – are used almost exclusively to reduce death duty bills in a legal form of tax avoidance.",
"Deeds of variation were described as ‘tax abuse’ by Gordon Brown when he was Chancellor.",
"Last night, Mr Miliband was urged to ‘come clean’ and answer ‘serious questions’ over the deal, which could have potentially saved the Labour leader and his brother David thousands of pounds.",
"Both brothers deny any wrongdoing and say they have paid all the tax owed.",
"But the row is a major embarrassment to Ed Miliband in a week in which he has attacked the Conservatives over tax avoidance as the row over the HSBC tax scandal deepened.",
"At an event at his old school, Haverstock School in North London, Mr Miliband was forced to defend his own complex arrangements.",
"Asked if he thought it was ‘dodgy to use what’s called in the trade a deed of variation, to leave your house to your children that avoids tax’, the Labour leader said: ‘The deed of variation issue is something directed at me personally, it’s something that my mother did 20 years ago, that was a decision she made.",
"‘Let me just say this: I paid tax as a result of that transaction, I’ve avoided no tax in that.",
"No doubt the Conservative Party wants to smear mud today but frankly it’s not going to work.",
"The story has been written before and I have paid tax on that money.’ After the death of Ralph Miliband in 1994, his will was changed to make Ed, David and their mother Marion part-owners of the family home.",
"It meant that, in the event of their mother’s death, part of the estate would already be in the hands of her sons.",
"This would mean inheritance tax would be levied on only 60 per cent of the value of the home, reducing the bill.",
"In 1994, Mr Brown included the scheme among ‘tax abuses’ which he promised to stop if Labour was elected.",
"The Miliband brothers are believed to have used a 'deed of variation' after the death of their father Ralph in 1994 which would have reduced the level of tax payable in the event of their mother Marion's death .",
"Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen said last night: ‘Miliband needs to come clean and publish this deed of variation.",
"There are still a number of very serious questions he needs to answer about his own tax arrangements.’ He added: ‘Ed Miliband is trying to stand on what he thinks is the moral high ground, but it looks increasingly swampy.",
"One can only presume he entered into it on the advice of some accountants that this was the best thing to do.",
"He needs to come clean on the reasons for that.’ The Milibands’ deal centres on a four-storey Georgian terrace house in fashionable Primrose Hill, North London – now thought to be worth about £2.4 million.",
"When Ralph Miliband died in 1994 aged 70, he left ‘most’ of his estate, valued at £349,000 not including the house, to his wife.",
"Marion, Ed and David agreed on a ‘deed of variation’ which transferred 40 per cent of the equity of the home to the sons, who were each given a 20 per cent share.",
"It is understood Marion sought professional advice before doing so.",
"Accountants say this type of agreement is almost always drawn up to reduce a family’s total death duty bill.",
"They can be drawn up at any time up to two years after the death of the parent.",
"This meant that when Mrs Miliband dies, a slice of the estate is already in the hands of her sons and thus inheritance tax would be levied on only 60 per cent of the value of the home, potentially saving the brothers thousands.",
"The main reason for a deed of variation, according to a government website, is to ‘reduce the amount of inheritance or capital gains tax payable’.",
"The Miliband brothers may not have been party to the deed of variation, as rules state it must only be ‘signed by all the people who would lose out because of it’.",
"Under current rules, a deed of variation must contain a statement confirming if the signatories ‘intend’ it to impact on ‘inheritance tax and/or capital gains tax’.",
"In the event, David Miliband later bought his brother’s and mother’s share of the property.",
"Land Registry documents show he paid £800,000 in August 2004 and it became home for him, his wife Louise and their two sons.",
"The property was reportedly independently valued to ensure Ed and Marion received a fair deal.",
"It meant Ed Miliband would have received £200,000 for his 20 per cent share, on which he paid capital gains tax.",
"Ed Miliband, left, photographed with his father Ralph, right in Edis Street, London around 1989 .",
"A Labour spokesman: ‘Ed paid 40 per cent of capital gains tax when the house was sold in 2004-5.",
"It can’t be tax avoidance if no tax was avoided.’ The house is now being rented out following David Miliband’s move to New York in 2013.",
"The average property value in the area is £2,121,591, according to Zoopla.",
"Five years ago, Ed Miliband had to insist he was not a tax dodger over his other properties – when it emerged his name was absent from the title deeds of his £1.6 million home.",
"The Victorian townhouse where the Labour leader lives with his wife and their sons was bought in 2009 solely by Justine Thornton when she was his girlfriend.",
"Analysts claimed he and Miss Thornton could have legitimately avoided tens of thousands of pounds in capital gains tax, thanks to being unmarried at the time, over the sale of their previous flats before moving in together.",
"Frank Nash, a tax partner at accountants Blick Rothenberg who specialises in high net worth individuals and families, said of deeds of variation: ‘Before 2007 they would have largely been used to reduce the tax bill… to make the will more tax efficient than it otherwise would have been.",
"‘You have to say that a deed of variation can be beneficial for tax purposes, but it does have a real economic effect on the family.",
"It can have a tax advantage, but I have seen just as many cases to sort out family rows, so it serves two purposes equally.’"

"Mr Rebello said notes and drawings by Jade were 'poignant' and difficult reading.",
"He said the investigation goes far broader than what would be appropriate to share in court, adding that Jade's wishes for privacy should be respected.",
"He said: 'What happened to Jade is very difficult to get your head around - this very young life ending in this way.",
"'Jade suffered from a mental health depressive illness which had manifestations of intentional self-harm.",
"She had been prescribed [anti-depressants] and supportive therapy.",

"Mr Rebello said it was important that Jade be remembered for who she was and not to let her tragic death 'overshadow the beauty of her life'.",
"Jade, a Year 11 pupil at Wirral Grammar School for Girls (pictured), was described as 'hardworking and talented'.",
"The school said she had a strong friendship group and would be 'remembered as a gifted musician' Following the inquest, John Johnson - Jade's mother's former partner - said: 'I absolutely adored her, I loved her so much and was so proud of her.",
"'I brought her up like she was my daughter, I just hope she rests in peace now.'",

"Hates yoga pants: Republican Rep. David Moore on Tuesday introduced House Bill 365, which would ban any garment that 'simulates' buttocks, genitals or nipples .",
"A Montana lawmaker is seeking to strengthen the state's indecent exposure law, in part because he hates seeing yoga pants worn in public.",
"Rep. David Moore on Tuesday introduced House Bill 365 in the House Judiciary Committee in response to a group of naked bicyclists who rolled through Missoula in August.",
"The proposal would expand indecent exposure law to include any nipple exposure, including men's, and any garment that 'gives the appearance or simulates' a person's buttocks, genitals, pelvic area or female nipple.",
"The Republican from Missoula said tight-fitting beige clothing could be considered indecent exposure under his proposal.",
"'Yoga pants should be illegal in public anyway,' Moore said after the hearing.",
"Moore said he wouldn't have a problem with people being arrested for wearing provocative clothing but that he'd trust law enforcement officials to use their discretion.",
"He couldn't be sure whether police would act on that provision or if Montana residents would challenge it.",
"'I don't have a crystal ball,' Moore said.",
"Moore and Walt Hill, a retired professor in Missoula, initiated the drafting of HB 365 after the Bare as you Dare bicycle event outraged some residents last summer.",
"Fearing that denying organizers an event permit would breach free speech, city officials allowed participants, many of them completely nude, to ride through downtown Missoula on August 17, 2014.",
"'I want Montana to be known as a decent state where people can live within the security of laws and protect their children and associates from degrading and indecent practices,' Hill said Tuesday in support of the measure.",
"'I believe this bill is written preserving that reputation.'",
"'Yoga pants should be illegal in public anyway,' Moore said after Tuesday's hearing .",
"In 1991, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Barnes v. Glen Theatre Inc. that state prohibitions on public nudity are constitutional given that nudity in itself is not an expression.",
"Bare as you Dare organizers call the event a celebration of body image and bicyclists' right to use public roads.",
"Rep. Virginia Court, D-Billings, said she is concerned that the provision prohibiting garments showing the outline or appearance of a woman's nipple unfairly targets women.",
"'I think you are kind of being a little prejudiced against women,' Court said.",
"Currently, a person convicted of indecent exposure three times could be sentenced to life in jail and up to $10,000.",
"In an effort to promote enforcement of the law, Moore said, the bill lessens that sentencing to not more than five years in jail and $5,000.",
"A first offense for violating Montana's indecent exposure law carries a fine of no more than $500 and six months in jail.",
"A second offense carries up to $1,000 or one year in jail.",
"Those punishments are unchanged in Moore's bill."

"The impact of global warming can already be seen in the habitats around us, according to a study that saw scientists run heaters outside for 23 years.",
"Ecologists monitored the changes that took place in meadows in the Rocky Mountains and compared them to plots others that were artificially heated to simulate global warming.",
"After more than two decades, they found that the unheated meadow plot as are now starting to resemble those that had changed quickly as a result of the artificial heating.",
"The researchers studied meadows at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic, Colorado (above) The vegetation in the meadows shifted to become more woody while the soil became poorer quality.",
"For years, scientists have predicted that as global warming heats the Earth, the number of storms will increase.",
"But recent research suggests that rather than increasing in number, these storms will increase in intensity - meaning the same number of storms will occur, but they'll be stronger.",
"The physicists behind the study said that this is because global warming will directly affect how the atmosphere circulates air mass, heat and water using what has been dubbed 'Earth's heat engine.'",
"Researchers from the University of Toronto used computer models to simulate how Earth and its atmosphere will change between 1982 to 2098.",
"As a result of climate change, they predicted the atmosphere is expected to use more energy to cycle water around the heat engine.",
"This is because an increase in water vapour will make the process less efficient.",
"However, the atmosphere still needs to get rid of the precipitation it collects, but because circulation is affected, it has to do this in fewer, more intense storms.",
"The researchers say these changes resemble those that are taking place in landscapes around the world due to global warming.",
"However, to achieve their results, the experiment itself may have contributed to global warming.",
"The scientists set up infrared heaters over the five meadow plots measuring 30 square metres (322 square feet).",
"Left to run day and night, the heaters burned through more than 128,462 kilowatt hours of electricity.",
"This means that the heaters produced around 78 tons of carbon dioxide during the life-time of the experiment - roughly the equivalent of driving an average family car 87 times around the world.",
"By comparison, however, the average energy usage per capita in the US is 9,500 kilowatt hours a year.",
"This means over the course of the same 23 year project, the average US citizen would used almost twice as much energy as was used to conduct the experiments - 218,500 kilowatt hours.",
"Professor John Harte, an ecosystems scientist at the University of California, Berkeley, who led the study, said the round the clock heating was necessary to understand what the cause the changes in the unheated plots were.",
"He said: 'The annual energy usage each year of the experiment is roughly comparable to the annual energy consumption by an average US resident.",
"'At a personal level I feel comfortable doing this because 15 years ago I put solar panels on my roof and I walk the two km to my university and back each day, never driving.",
"'Finally, of course, I justify it because the knowledge obtained provides considerable insight into the nature of the threat that the world faces.'",
"The research, which is published in the journal Global Change Biology, was conducted at the Rocky Mountain Biologial Laboratory in Gothic, Colorado.",
"It showed that in the past decade the unheated 'ambient' meadow plots started to change in the past decade.",
"The heaters (seen above) caused snow to melt earlier but snow melt in unheated plots has begun to catch up .",
"These graphs show the changes in non-woody plants (top) and woody shrubs (bottom) in the heated and unheated meadows over 23 years, revealing how climate change has altered the vegetation in unheated plots .",
"Snow on these plots started to melt earlier while the growth and flowering of non-woody plants decreased.",
"The researchers said woody shrubs increased on the plots and the levels of carbon in the soil also declined.",
"This, they said, matched what had been observed in the meadow plots that had been heated, but at a far slower rate.",
"Professor Harte and his colleagues Scott Saleska from the University of Arizona, Tucson, and Charlotte Levy, from Cornell University in Ithaca, said what was happening on these meadows matched what was occurring in the wider environment.",
"Writing in the journal, they said: 'This allows us to infer that climate change is the cause of the observed shifts in ambient vegetation and soil carbon and that the vegetation responses mediate the observed changes in soil carbon.",
"The heaters were left running day and night above five of the meadows in the Rocky Mountains (as shown above) to provide a way of attributing changes that occurred naturally in the unheated areas of the test site .",
"This graph shows how carbon in the soil of unheated plots is starting to catch up with those in heated plots .",
"'The trends we observed over the last decade in the ambient plots are consistent with broader scale observations throughout western North America that indicate a reduction in carbon uptake due to recent drought as well as an increase in shrub production.'",
"Professor Harte said that the experiments could also provide some clues about what the future could hold as the climate warms further.",
"He told Mail Online: 'The heated plots have not yet achieved a new steady stat.",
"'Forb biomass (non-woody plants) is continuing to deline, shrub biomass is increasing.",
"'Soil carbon is slowly increasing as well and the heated plot snowmelt dates continue to come earlier because they are seeing not just the heaters but also the ambient warming trend.'",
"The heated plots also tend to be 10-20 per cent dryer during the growing season and are snow free on avearge two weeks earlier.",
"The heaters made the top 15 cm of soil around two degrees warmer than the surrounding area.",
"Professor Harte added: 'With only control plot observations, it is very difficult to know what causes the observed trends.",
"'That is why scientists do controlled experiments - to see how a possible cause - in this case extra heating and extra early snowmelt - influence the system and thus be able to attribute changes to that causal factor.'"

"The Prime Minister, who is in Brussels for talks with other EU leaders, called for 'not a stand-off but a solution' to the eurozone row.",

"David Cameron today held talks with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras for the first time, warning him that EU meetings 'can go on all night' The Prime Minister, arriving in Brussels for talks with other EU leaders, called for 'not a stand-off but a solution' to the eurozone row .",
"The gathering of European leaders in Brussels is set to be dominated by economic concerns following the victory of the Greek radical anti-austerity party in elections last month.",
"On Monday Mr Cameron convened a meeting in Downing Street with the Bank of England, the Treasury and the Foreign Office to prepare contingency plans in case Greece crashes out of the single currency.",
"Mr Tsipras used his inaugural speech in parliament to insist his demand for restructuring the country's debt is 'irrevocable.'",
"Speaking as he arrived in Brussels for a one-day European Council summit, the Prime Minister said he was looking forward to his first meeting with Mr Tsipras.",
"'I will be saying that what is required between Greece and the eurozone is not a stand-off but a solution.",
"'The British economy is growing and succeeding but we are affected by the situation on the European continent and the longer this stand-off goes on the worse potentially that could be for Britain.",
"'That only underlines the importance of sticking to our long-term economic plan,' Mr Cameron added.",
"At the weekend new Greek PM Alexis Tsipras used his inaugural speech in parliament to insist his demand for restructuring the country's debt is 'irrevocable' Welcoming Mr Tsipras to his first European Council meeting, Mr Cameron warned him the meetings 'can go on all night and in to the next day'.",
"Mr Tsipras arrived in Brussels this morning after his finance minister was involved in lengthy talks which ended in stalemate with European counterparts last night.",
"Most of Greece's national debt is held by eurozone institutions and not by Britain, which could limit the impact if it defaults.",
"But Downing Street has warned that there remain 'risks of contagion and uncertainty'.",
"British officials said Mr Cameron would be in 'listening mode' in his meeting with Mr Tsipras, but was keen to hear the details of how he intended to get his country's economy growing and how he would tackle the crucial issue of Greece's debts.",
"'The Prime Minister's point will be this is not about us taking sides, it's down to Greece and eurozone partners to agree on the best way to move forward to get the Greek economy growing, to bring their debt down and get it on a sustainable footing,' a British official said.",
"'They need to work on this together but they need to be acting responsibly and coming up with a plan for growth.",
"'The point from the UK perspective is that the uncertainty around Greece is clearly a risk to our economy.",
"We want Greece and eurozone partners to get on and sort this out.'",
"French President Francois Hollande and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning Schmidt arriving at the Brussels summit .",
"Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko arrives at the talks which will discuss attempts to broker a ceasefire with Russia .",
"The talks between Mr Tsipras and his European counterparts will be a chance for the Greek leader to set out how he intends to implement the anti-austerity policies his Syriza party was swept to power on.",
"The discussions will focus on the detail of the reforms necessary in Greece and the timetable for implementing the measures.",
"Finnish prime minister Alexander Stubb warned that failure to reach an agreement would result in 'financial mayhem', but insisted he was confident a deal could be struck.",
"'There are basically two options here,' Mr Stubb told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.",
"'Number one is that Greece continues the programme and we give an extension to that programme.",
"The other option, which I don't like personally, would be a so-called 'dirty exit', where Greece would be on its own trying to claw its way back to the markets.",
"'I think Greek banks would have great troubles, I think a lot of the deposits would flee the country and it would cause general financial mayhem, especially in Greece, with a slight ripple effect.'",
"Mr Stubb said that Athens had undertaken to meet certain conditions in return for the loan of one billion euros, and he expected Greece to 'keep its bargain, regardless of the election result'.",
"He added: 'The euro group of financial ministers are meeting and I think we are all expecting Greece to give a proposal by Monday next week.",
"We will see what they come up with. I am sure a solution will be found at the end of the day.'",
"European leaders will also consider counter-terrorism measures following the bloody events in Paris last month."

"British holiday makers heading to Europe received a welcome boost last night after the pound soared to a seven-year high against the single currency.",
"Sterling rose above 1.35 euros – a level not seen since January 2008 – giving families more ‘bang for their buck’ on the Continent.",
"Figures from currency exchange firm Travelex show that British families changing £500 will now get 655 euros, compared with 585 euros a year ago.",
"As recently as August they would typically have got just 556 euros – some 99 euros less than today.",
"Soaring sterling: Buoyed by the recovering British economy, the pound has soared to a seven-year high against the euro in a timely boost for holiday makers heading to the continent .",
"The pound has risen 5 per cent against the euro this year and 12.5 per cent in the last 12 months buoyed by the recovery in the British economy.",
"Many experts believe the pound will strengthen even further against the single currency in the coming months – making family holidays cheaper still this summer.",
"One analyst said it could reach 1.55 euros, its highest level since late 2002.",
"David Swann, of Travelex, said: ‘It’s a great time for Brits to be planning their Easter trip or summer holiday as the increase in the pound’s strength will make a considerable difference to their budgets.’ Brian Jamieson, of travel money business Centtrip, said: ‘Sterling’s strength against the euro is great news for UK consumers and businesses alike when they visit the EU.’ The euro has tumbled against a host of currencies from around the world in recent months as the threat of recession and deflation hangs over the single currency bloc.",
"The fall accelerated last month when the European Central Bank outlined plans to pump at least £850billion of emergency funds into the eurozone’s struggling economy.",
"The prospect of a flood of cash being created through so-called quantitative easing has lowered the value of the euro.",
"Tumbling: The euro fallen has against a host of currencies from around the world in recent months as the threat of recession and deflation hangs over the single currency bloc .",
"The situation in Greece, where the new Left-wing government is at loggerheads with the rest of Europe over its debts, has also undermined confidence in the single currency.",
"It is feared that Greece will default on its debts and be forced to leave the euro – plunging the region and the currency back into crisis.",
"Chris Saint, head of currency dealing at Hargreaves Lansdown, said the pound’s rise against the euro ‘has a bit further to run’.",
"He blamed the ‘impasse between Greece and the rest of the eurozone’ and added that ‘there doesn’t seem to be much common ground’.",
"Andrew Sentance, a former Bank of England official and now senior economic adviser at PricewaterhouseCoopers, said the pound is gaining strength as currencies adjust to European quantitative easing as well as ‘poorly performing euro economies and Greek uncertainty’.",
"Harry Adams, of currency specialist Argentex, said he would ‘not be surprised’ if the pound reached 1.55 euro in the coming months – raising concerns for British exporters as the price of goods made in the UK rises for buyers in the eurozone.",
"He said: ‘Europe is once again sending shivers down the spine of financial markets, forcing investors to take caution and sell their euros to more stable currencies such as the dollar and pound.",
"‘This has pushed the euro to a fresh seven-year low against the pound, dampening Europe’s demand for British goods, causing pain for an estimated 500,000 UK exporters.’"

"Xiaomi, one of China's hottest companies, is bringing its blend of cheap yet fashionable technology and crowd-pleasing antics to the U.S.",
"Although its smartphones won't be available here anytime soon, Xiaomi unveiled plans to test the U.S. market by selling inexpensive headphones and other accessories online.",
"It hopes its Internet-driven, customer-friendly model that has helped turn the company into a major player in mobile computing just five years after its founding will work in the US.",
"Xiaomi vice president of global operations Hugo Barra, who the firm poached from Google, holds up a Mi Note after a presentation in San Francisco, .",
"Xiaomi has emerged as a mobile-computing sensation with a line of smartphones sold in China, India and seven other countries where much of the population still lacks Internet access.",
"The phones offer a smattering of the sleek technology featured in fancier devices made by Apple and Samsung, but they sell at much lower prices, ranging from about $95 to $280.",
"In comparison, an iPhone 6 starts at $650 without subsidies for signing two-year contracts.",
"Xiaomi — pronounced schow-mee — has made a name in China by selling sleek gadgets at relatively low prices, using online sales and social media to keep marketing and distribution costs low.",
"Some analysts have hailed the company as the Chinese equivalent of Apple, in part because of its intensely loyal fans.",
"There are some significant differences between the two companies' approach, though.",
"While Apple tends to keep its future product plans secret, Xiaomi has invited customers to nosh on popcorn at company parties, chat on Xiaomi's online forums and review or make suggestions for new features, which Xiaomi frequently builds into its weekly software updates.",
"'We don't have customers or users.",
"They prefer to be addressed (as) fans,' said Hugo Barra, who defected from his job overseeing Google's Android products in 2013 to help plot Xiaomi's expansion outside China.",
"A Xiaomi phone 'may not be the best product out there but a product with the best combination: a very affordable price and good quality,' said Bing-Sheng Teng, a corporate strategy expert at the Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business in Beijing.",
"Xiaomi Mi Bands are displayed at a presentation in San Francisco, Thursday, Feb. 12, 2015.",
"Xiaomi vice president of global operations Hugo Barra, left, speaks next to president Bin Lin.",
"While the iPhone still dominates the smaller luxury segment of China's market, Xiaomi's devices are being snapped up by the masses almost as quickly as the company starts accepting online orders.",
"Xiaomi sold about 61 million phones last year, more than tripling its 2013 volume, Bin said.",
"That established Xiaomi as China's top seller of smartphones with a 15 percent market share to edge out Samsung at 14 percent, according to research firm IHS.",
"But another firm, Canalys, estimates that Apple sold more phones in China than either of those companies in the fourth quarter of 2014, when Apple's new iPhone 6 models came out.",
"By concentrating on online sales of phones and accessories, co-founder Bin Lin said, the company has built the third-largest e-commerce site in China.",
"Besides phones, Xiaomi has an electronics lineup that ranges from a 49-inch flat-panel TV for $550 to a fitness band for less than $20.",
"The company also has sold about 2 million stuffed bunnies that serve as Xiaomi's mascot.",
"The Mi Note from Chinese firm Xiaomi has a 5.7-inch display, is 6.95mm thick and weighs 161g.",
"This makes it 0.2-inches larger, 0.15mm thinner and 11 lighter than Apple's iPhone 6 Plus (comparison pictured) But executives acknowledged the company would face big hurdles in the U.S., where most consumers buy smartphones from wireless carriers at subsidized prices.",
"That could make Xiaomi's low-margin business model less effective here.",
"Xiaomi vice president of global operations Hugo Barra points toward the Mi TV 2 .",
"Apple's head of design hit out Xiaomi at the recent Vanity Fair New Estalishment Summit in San Francisco.",
"Asked what he felt about the company being described as the 'Apple of China', Sir Jonathan Ive criticised them for copying his company's designs.",
"'I don't see it as flattery,' he said, 'I actually see it as theft.'",
"Sir Jonathan said seeing knockoff designs made him think of the lengthy development cycle that went into producing the originals.",
"In addition, Xiaomi has been accused of copying — or at least closely imitating — some designs from Apple or other companies.",
"At a San Francisco event Thursday, executives stressed an array of software and features that Xiaomi has developed to run on top of the Android system that Google makes available for other device makers.",
"When asked whether a fear of patent lawsuits could deter Xiaomi from selling phones in the United States, Bin said that's not a major issue for his company.",
"Xiaomi raised $1.1 billion late last year in an investment that valued the privately held company at $45 billion.",
"The company's eight founders include CEO Jun Lei, one of China's best-known technology entrepreneurs; Bin, a former engineer at Microsoft and Google; and former Motorola executive Guangping Zhou."

"The pair, aged 25 and 26, drank heavily at the older mother’s home in Gloucester before heading out to the pub at about 11pm and going onto a party where they stayed until 11am the next day.",
"The six-year-old girl and boy, seven, had gone by the time they got back to the flat - having been collected by the police after a neighbour called at 5.40am to say the children were home alone.",
"Avoided jail: The pair, aged 25 and 26, drank heavily at the older mother’s home in Gloucester before heading out to the pub at about 11pm and going onto a party where they stayed until 11am the next day .",
"Officers found that the flat was cold, there was very little food in the kitchen and the only bedding was a thin and dirty duvet with no pillow, Gloucester Crown Court was told.",
"The two mothers pleaded guilty to child neglect and were both sentenced to six months in jail suspended for two years, as well as a supervision order, offender programme and overnight curfew.",
"Judge Euan Ambrose told the pair - who cannot be identified for legal reasons - he only spared them jail to avoid their children suffering further.",
"The judge said: ‘Your decision to go out was utterly irresponsible.",
"It amounted to the two of you putting your own selfish pleasures above the welfare of your children.’ Both children were taken into care after the offence but the boy - the son of the older woman - had been returned to her after four weeks.",
"However, the younger woman’s daughter remains in foster care - although her mother has access to her under supervision three times a week.",
"Sentencing: Gloucester Crown Court (pictured) was told that officers found the flat was cold, there was very little food in the kitchen and the only bedding was a thin and dirty duvet with no pillow .",
"Describing the circumstances found by the police when they arrived at the flat, Mr Kesner said they initially knocked on the door but got no reply - although they could hear movement inside.",
"An officer opened the letterbox and saw the children.",
"He asked if anyone else was in the flat.",
"The boy replied: ‘My mum went to the High Street but she wasn’t here when we woke up.’ Mr Kesner said ‘On looking at the children the officer could see they appeared frightened, uncomfortable and cold.",
"The police therefore opened the door and the little girl was crying.",
"‘She said she didn’t have anything to wear on her bottom half of her body so the police looked in the boy’s bedroom to see if they could find anything suitable for her to put on.",
"‘In his bedroom they noticed what is described as his bedding being a thin dirty duvet with no pillow.",
"There were hardly any clothes in the chest of drawers, just a single school uniform and two T-shirts.",
"‘The police looked for food in the fridge and the kitchen but it was almost bare.",
"I think Your Honour has seen the state of the kitchen with hardly any food in it.",
"‘All the police noticed were empty bottles of wine and spirits.",
"The little girl was asked when she had last eaten.",
"This was a Saturday morning and she said the last she had eaten was breakfast on Friday morning.’ Both women had previous criminal convictions but not for any relevant offences, Mr Kesner said.",
"The girl’s mum had a drug conviction on her record.",
"Lloyd Jenkins, for the girl’s mother, said: ‘There are no excuses.",
"On April 25 she was extremely selfish.",
"She decided to have a night out and ignore the welfare of her daughter.",
"‘What she did was deplorable. She is ashamed of what she did and regrets her behaviour.",
"She has said “I don’t know what came over me”.’ The woman had a history of depression, anxiety and alcoholism but since November last year had stopped drinking apart from a lapse over Christmas, he said.",
"Her abusive partner was now out of her life having been sentenced to six and a half years imprisonment for grievous bodily harm, he added.",
"Joe Maloney, for the boy’s mother, said the woman realised how stupid she had been and how much the children were at risk.",
"‘There have been no further difficulties since (her son) was returned to her,’ said Mr Maloney.",
"‘She is determined to ensure this sort of incident does not take place again.'"

"Incredibly, this is six times less than the estimated £12billion budget for overseas aid.",
"Migration Watch today claimed a shortage of resources was the main reason the Conservative Party failed in its attempt to cut net migration and to remove non-EU immigrants who moved to Britain, file photograph .",
"In an audit released today, campaign group MigrationWatch said the shortage of resources was a key reason why the Tories have failed to hit their target to cut net migration to the ‘tens of thousands’.",
"While the number of migrants arriving in the UK has increased sharply, the number of non-EU immigrants being removed has stayed flat at around 100,000 every year.",
"In part, this is because border guards do not have the capacity to track down, for example, foreign students, many of whom stay on illegally when their course has finished.",
"The report warns: ‘It is clear the very limited resources devoted to immigration are seriously out of kilter with the very serious consequences for our society of continued mass immigration and the associated level of public concern.’ The think-tank also blamed the pressure put on Westminster by liberals to continue a policy of large-scale immigration.",
"It said there is ‘a strong bias in the BBC in favour of immigration, combined with a reluctance even to address the case for reducing immigration’.",
"It also warns of the ‘pro-immigration bias of parts of the Civil Service’ and ‘continued Treasury enthusiasm for GDP growth, irrespective of the impact of immigration on population growth and on the lower paid’.",
"Migration Watch director Lord Green, pictured, wants David Cameron to introduce specific targets to reduce migration from outside the European Union following the publication of today's report .",
"The study says David Cameron was right to make an election commitment in 2010 to cut net migration to below 100,000.",
"It finds significant progress has been made in reducing the number of non-EU students coming in, largely thanks to the closure of 700 bogus colleges.",
"The Tories have also tightened the rules for family reunion visas and made attempts to crack down on sham marriages.",
"However, the Government’s efforts have been blown off course by a surge in immigration from within the EU – over which ministers have no control.",
"Net migration – the difference between the number of people arriving here and those leaving – is currently at 260,000 a year.",
"MigrationWatch chairman Lord Green of Deddington urged the Tories to stick to the task and wants the party to introduce a specific target for reducing migration from outside the EU.",
"The cross-bench peer said: ‘This is the first time that a government has made a serious effort to get numbers down.",
"‘They have undeniably made valuable progress but continued strong efforts, led from the top, are essential.",
"These efforts must succeed if the public are not to lose faith in our political system.’ A string of senior BBC figures, including head of radio Helen Boaden, who used to be director of news, have admitted the Corporation held a ‘deep liberal bias’ in its coverage of immigration."

"Despite possessing one of the largest collections of child pornography on record, the man insists he never acted on his sadistic impulses, confining his pedophilia to his ocean-side home.",
"'I never touched anybody.",
"There was no direct contact with a victim,' he protested.",
"Prosecutors have not been able to confirm his claim.",

"Seven years later in Japan he began wearing children's underwear and buying sippy cups, pacifiers and diapers.",
"Such behavior has 'nothing to do' with the collection of pornography discovered by police some years later, he claimed, adding his only allies in prison were fellow pedophiles.",

"'There were almost 2,000 children in detention in the middle of 2013 under the former government’s watch, there were almost 1,400 children in detention at the time of the election.",

"Allegations of child sex abuse by a Westminster paedophile ring represent only the ‘tip of the iceberg’, Home Secretary Theresa May revealed yesterday.",
"A group of former MPs and VIPs are alleged to have sexually abused children and killed three boys in the Seventies and Eighties.",
"But yesterday Mrs May suggested even worse claims would follow as she said it was crucial for society to ‘get the truth’.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"Theresa May (pictured) suggested worse claims would follow and it is crucial for society to ‘get the truth' Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe insisted Scotland Yard was taking the claims seriously and promised there would be no cover-up.",
"Last night, Labour MP John Mann said: ‘It would now be extraordinary if there are not arrests soon of prominent people.’ Mrs May said she was determined to ensure that the issues were fully investigated, telling the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show: ‘How was it that in the past, but continuing today, the very institutions of the state that should be protecting children were not doing so?",
"‘Why was it that these abuses were able to take place and that nobody was brought to justice as a result of that?",
"‘We must as a society, I believe, get to the truth of that and because I think what we’re seeing is... only the tip of the iceberg on this issue.’ Sir Bernard said dozens of detectives were investigating the historic Westminster child abuse allegations, adding: ‘We have 40 detectives looking into these relatively new claims.",
"Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe (pictured right) also went on the Andrew Marr show and insisted Scotland Yard was taking the claims seriously and promised there would be no cover-up .",
"'There are a series of claims over a relatively long period of time and not all of them are linked – although in the public’s imagination they may be.",
"‘We have now had more recently this discussion or these claims about murder and, of course, that makes it even more serious.’ Among the latest allegations are that police may have helped cover up the murder of an eight-year-old boy.",
"It is claimed he was one of three killed by the network alleged to include former MPs and cabinet ministers.",
"Detectives are searching through files on at least 200 missing children to try to identify the alleged victims.",
"A man who claims to have been sexually abused by the group has told police he saw a then-serving Conservative MP murder a boy during a sexual assault in London in around 1980.",
"He said he witnessed the murder of another boy in front of a former Conservative cabinet minister around one or two years later.",
"He also alleged that a third boy had been killed.",
"Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper (pictured left) agreed the claims are likely to be the tip of the iceberg while Labour MP John Mann (right) said it would be 'extraordinary' if there are not arrests of prominent people .",
"The Government is still seeking a chairman for its wide-ranging inquiry into the handling of paedophile activity by members of the Establishment after two candidates quit over their links to senior figures from the period.",
"Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said yesterday: ‘The latest revelations on historical child abuse are alarming.",
"‘And the Home Secretary is right that this is likely to be the tip of the iceberg.",
"‘It is important the inquiry gets under way and that action is taken swiftly to make the system better now so we can protect our children and take what they say about anyone seriously.’ She spoke as it emerged that Labour figures were passed warnings about the Elm Guest House, which was allegedly used by the paedophiles.",
"A union official wrote to David Blunkett and John Prescott, the then home secretary and deputy prime minister, to warn that it was being used as a brothel.",
"Mr Blunkett, who replied personally in November 2002 and alerted Home Office staff, yesterday said the tip-off did not include claims of child sex abuse."

"MP John Mann claimed that two whistleblowers who threatened to expose an alleged VIP paedophile ring may have been murdered .",
"A campaigning MP sensationally claimed yesterday that two whistleblowers who threatened to expose an alleged VIP paedophile ring may have been murdered.",
"John Mann has passed detectives information about the suspicious deaths of the men who were allegedly poised to lift the lid on child sex abuse at the heart of the Establishment.",
"The development comes as the Labour MP told the Daily Mail yesterday that a key witness has come forward providing the address of a Dolphin Square flat which was used for ‘abuse parties’ by a network of high-profile figures including politicians and leading members of the judiciary, military and security services.",
"The potential breakthrough, which could help detectives identify the alleged perpetrators, comes a day after it emerged that Mr Mann had handed detectives a dossier naming 22 politicians – including six serving MPs and members of the House of Lords – suspected of involvement in a Westminster paedophile ring.",
"The Bassetlaw MP has since spoken to a victim who has provided a specific location where it is claimed that boys from care homes in Lambeth, South London, were taken to be abused – the apartment in the luxury block of 1,250 flats at Dolphin Square in Pimlico.",
"Mr Mann alerted police to allegations of child abuse at the prestigious block in 1989 when he was a Lambeth councillor, but nothing was done.",
"The two whistleblowers he claims may have been killed are said to have been ready to expose powerful figures preying on teenage boys from children’s care homes in Lambeth.",
"The information Mr Mann has given police concerns the suspicious deaths of a Lambeth Council caretaker in 1989 and a social worker in 1993 who allegedly threatened to expose a paedophile ring linked to a future minister in Tony Blair’s government.",
"The unnamed caretaker was said to have tapes on ultra-violent ‘sex parties’ when he died in an apparent arson attack.",
"A second council employee, social services manager Bulic Forsythe, was found dead by firefighters in his blazing flat in Clapham.",
"His skull had been fractured by a heavy weapon.",
"In the months before his murder the 42-year-old had told colleagues at Lambeth Council he was on the verge of exposing child sex abuse and corruption.",
"Witnesses have said Mr Forsythe had information about council buildings being used to film child sexual abuse.",
"He died at the time of an internal council probe into alleged sexual abuse in the housing department where he had worked.",
"The Bassetlaw MP has since spoken to a victim who said children were abused in an apartment in the luxury block of 1,250 flats at Dolphin Square in Pimlico .",
"The report is said to implicate council officers as well as police and politicians.",
"It states: ‘The murder of Bulic Forsythe was seen by some witnesses as a possible outcome for anyone who strayed too far in their investigation or who asked too many questions.’ Though the panel found no ‘direct link’ between his death and work, it said its evidence should be handed to police.",
"The murder was investigated but never solved and cold case detectives are re-examining it.",
"Police are said to be investigating five potential paedophile rings operating over the last three decades in locations including Dolphin Square, Lambeth, North Wales and Rochdale.",
"The Dolphin Square flat which Mr Mann claims he can identify is not thought to have been the residence of any politician.",
"Mr Mann told the Mail: ‘It is a short-term let.",
"It is a big apartment in a particular part of Dolphin Square.",
"The allegation is teenage boys were taken there and abused by at least two MPs.",
"It is a specific allegation which will need to be verified.’ The estate is a few hundred yards along the Thames from Parliament and apartments could be rented by the night.",
"Police believe the block was the home of sordid ‘abuse parties’ between 1975 and 1984."

"The huge reaction on social media and in the news following Jon Stewart's announcement that he is leaving The Daily Show after 16 years inspired the comedian's opening monologue during Wednesday night's show.",
"'Did I die?' joked the popular host of Comedy Central's The Daily Show who has won 19 Emmys and a Grammy.",
"'Last night I was perusing the internet, and I guess my question to you is, 'Did I die?'",
"Cause it all seems very… 'I died.'",
"Very weird,' Stewart said during Wednesday's episode.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"'Did I die?' joked Jon Stewart during his opening monologue on Wednesday night's show in reaction to coverage of his decision to quit after 16 years .",
"'It's an overwhelming day here, as you can imagine, and people have been asking, I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do next.'",
"Stewart's surprise announcement prompted wall-to-wall media coverage in the 24 hours after his announcement with much written about his important role poking fun at politicians and also speculation about his replacement.",
"His longtime foe Arby's also got in on the action and jokingly tweeted him with the offer of a job.",
"'Jon, feel free to reach out to us at careers@arbys.com,' read the cheeky tweet.",
"'You know what? Working there might be fun,' Stewart said.",
"'I guess my only question as a future employee would be, to work there, would I have to handle, serve, touch, eat or even look at what you so generously describe as food?'",
"Comedy Central has a 'short list' of replacements for Stewart when he steps down later this year, company executive Doug Herzog said on Wednesday.",
"The channel and Stewart are consulting on when he'll depart the job he's held for more than 16 years and discussing whether he'll have a continued role with the show, said Herzog, president of Viacom Entertainment Group.",
"'TBD,' he replied, using the shorthand for 'to be determined,' then added: 'It's not out of the question.'",
"Stewart is an executive producer on the show as well as host.",
"Stewart's company, Busboy Productions, produces The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, which replaced The Colbert Report.",
"Herzog said 'there's a short list' but wouldn't discuss any specific people being considered as host.",
"It's uncertain whether the list includes former Daily Show correspondent John Oliver, who moved over to HBO after successfully filling in for Stewart when he took a movie-making break.",
"Asked about whether Oliver is a candidate, Herzog's reply was succinct.",
"Stewart's longtime foe Arby's got in on the action on Wednesday and jokingly tweeted him with the offer of a job .",
"Stewart couldn't resist a dig at the fast food chain and gave his customary criticism of their menu offerings .",
"'John Oliver's got a job,' he said.",
"Asked if that meant he was not under consideration, Herzog said: 'I think he's spoken for.'",
"Whoever is chosen has heavy lifting to do.",
"'It's not easy. The shadow of Jon Stewart is going to loom large.",
"... What you have to get comfortable with is, it's just not going to be Jon Stewart.",
"And it's going to be different,' Herzog said.",
"Whatever happens, he said, The Daily Show is 'a format that's built to last, and last it will.'",
"Herzog declined to comment on when Stewart, whose contract is up this fall, told Comedy Central of his decision to leave.",
"The comedians departure was announced by Comedy Central President Michele Ganeless after Stewart, host of the show since 1999, broke the news to the studio audience at Tuesday's taping in New York.",
"Comedy Central has a 'short list' of replacements for Stewart when he steps down later this year, but company executive Doug Herzog refused to confirm if former John Oliver is in the running .",
"Stewart, slapping his desk and blinking back tears, told the audience that he had signed on to The Daily Show 17 years ago, and '17 years is the longest I have ever in my life held a job, by 16 years and five months.'",
"'This show doesn't deserve an even slightly restless host, and neither do you,' he said.",
"It's yet to be decided when he'll leave or what comes next for him, Stewart said, with one exception.",
"'I'm gonna have dinner, on a school night, with my family,' he said.",
"Ganeless called Stewart, 52, a 'comic genius.'",
"She did not specify his exit date or what led to his decision.",
"'Through his unique voice and vision, The Daily Show has become a cultural touchstone for millions of fans and an unparalleled platform for political comedy that will endure for years to come,' Ganeless said in a statement.",
"Stewart's influence is seen in the work of Stephen Colbert, John Oliver and Larry Wilmore, who went on to earn shows of their own.",
"Other Daily Show alumni include Steve Carell, Ed Helms, Josh Gad and new Saturday Night Live Weekend Update anchor Michael Che."

"Harry Connolly, 19 months, was admitted to hospital in April 2011 with sickness, diarrhoea and lethargy.",
"But, despite his mother Lucy's concerns about her son's condition, paediatrician Dr Tasnim Arif told Mrs Connolly, 32, she should take her son home.",
"Three days later, his devastated father Ray, 47, found the youngster lifeless in his cot.",
"Furious: Ray Connolly, 47, and his wife Lucy, 32, from Northampton, are outraged that the doctor who sent home their sick toddler from hospital three days before he died has been allowed to carry on working .",
"Tragic: Harry Connolly, 19 months, was found dead in his cot by his father three days after being sent home from Northampton General Hospital.",
"He died of dehydration and kidney failure, caused by an inflamed colon .",
"Yesterday, a tribunal brought by the General Medical Council found Dr Arif guilty of a series of failings, including failing to carry out vital checks before discharging Harry.",
"But, despite objections from the GMC, the tribunal ruled that Dr Arif was still fit to practise, after clearing her of other charges.",
"They also refused a plea from the GMC to put a warning on Dr Arif's file.",
"Mrs Connolly, from Delapre, Northampton, today branded Dr Arif a 'danger to other patients' and accused the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service of 'failing to protect the public'.",
"She told MailOnline: 'I believe Harry would still be alive if the doctor had listened to me.",
"I feel it is nothing short of criminal.",
"The worst part is that these errors, which the hearing found had taken place, killed my son.'",
"At an inquest that heard evidence from several practitioners involved in Harry's care, Coroner Anne Pember catalogued a series of ‘failings’ by staff at the hospital and a GP’s out-of-hours service.",
"Mrs Pember said that, had Harry remained in hospital or been readmitted with a robust care plan, his chances of survival would have been 'enhanced'.",
"But she said she did not feel there had been a 'gross failure' to provide basic medical attention.",
"Recording a narrative verdict, she said: 'Windows of opportunity to treat Harry were lost.",
"These were on the first occasion he was discharged from NGH, the second time when he was only seen for a few hours and when he was seen at an out-of-hours service.",
"'Had Harry remained in hospital or been readmitted with a robust care plan, his chances of survival would have been enhanced.'",
"The tribunal heard Dr Arif should have taken more care in assessing Harry after he was readmitted to hospital .",
"An investigation by the hospital also found that key procedures had not been carried out.",
"After the inquest, the trust apologised to the Connolly family 'for the failings identified by the coroner in the care of their son'.",
"But although Mrs Connolly accepted the hospital's apology, she said she is furious about the tribunal's decision.",
"'Go and get me 100,000 people off the street, tell them Harry's story and ask if they would be happy for this doctor to treat their child,' she said.",
"The tribunal said Dr Tasnim Arif's (pictured) fitness to practise was not impaired because it did not amount to misconduct .",
"'I am furious, I can't explain how angry I am.",
"To let her walk away without even a warning is just criminal.",
"God help any child that comes into her care.'",
"Dr Arif faced a fitness to practise hearing in Manchester, accused of allowing her care of Harry to fall ‘seriously below’ what was expected.",
"At the hearing, Dr Arif, who was then a fourth-year specialist trainee paediatric registrar, admitted failing to record the frequency, quantity and volume of Harry’s passage of stool and vomit and to then seek further clarification over these issues.",
"The medic also confessed to not comparing his current weight to his weight when he was previously discharged.",
"But she denied a number of other accusations, including that she had failed to adequately assess Harry's symptoms.",
"The hearing had heard how Harry fell ill at his home on April 23, 2011 and was referred to Northampton General Hospital by the family GP three days later.",
"He was then examined by paediatrician Dr Farhana Shamim, who said he was not dehydrated, but recommended that he be given Dioralyte, a rehydration treatment to boost salt and sugar levels.",
"The following morning, he was discharged by Dr Ayevbekpen Omorgie, who said the parents could have a ‘48-hour open access’ to the ward, meaning he would not need a referral to be seen again, the hearing was told.",
"Then, at around 3.30pm on 28 April, Harry was brought back to hospital by his mother after his parents felt his condition had deteriorated.",
"It was the decisions made on this visit which were the subject of the hearing.",
"The GMC had said that Dr Arif should have exercised 'a greater degree of caution when deciding the appropriate course of action' towards Harry and when discharging him.",
"They argued that the standard of care provided by Dr Arif 'fell seriously below that expected of a registrar'.",
"Mrs Connolly said: 'Harry had diarrhoea and had slept around the clock for days, which was so strange because he never slept.",
"It got to the point where he could barely hold his own head up.",
"'When we saw Dr Arif, my words to her were: \"He's got really bad diarrhoea, he cannot sustain this, or he is going to become dehydrated\".",
"But she said she was absolutely sure he wasn't dehydrated.'",
"The panel heard that Dr Arif did not think Harry was dehydrated before she discharged him at around 5.45pm on the afternoon of 28 April.",
"But the next day Harry’s condition had deteriorated again, to such an extent that his parents described him as ‘lifeless’.",
"Grandmother Val Faulkner rang the hospital, but was told by a nurse they should take the toddler to their GP or accident and emergency, the tribunal was told.",
"After phoning the GP out-of-hours service, the family spoke to Dr Mary McCracken who said they should bring him in to the out-of-hours service as he may be suffering from dehydration.",
"At the out-of-hours service, Harry was examined by Dr Aboo Thamby who assessed that he was not dehydrated and did not need to be readmitted.",
"Little Harry was twice admitted to Northampton General Hospital (pictured) but was discharged both times .",
"As he continued to be unwell, Mr and Mrs Connolly moved Harry's cot into their bedroom.",
"But in the early hours of May 1, 2011, when Mr Connolly got up to check on his son, he found his son had died.",
"The hearing began in August but was adjourned, before being concluded this week.",
"It was found that Dr Arif had failed to adequately assess or record whether Harry was ‘well hydrated’ or ‘not well hydrated' and also failed to record that Harry was lethargic when taking his history.",
"She was also found guilty of failing to arrange for a longer period of observation and assessment of Harry’s hydration status .",
"But she was cleared of failing to record the right clinical procedures when assessing Harry's hydration, including abnormalities in his respiratory rate and pulse rate.",
"She was also cleared of failing to arrange for the duty consultant to review Harry's status and carrying out blood tests requested by the duty consultant.",
"Despite the 'multiple failings' proved against her, the panel found that Dr Arif's fitness to practise was not impaired because her behaviour did not constitute misconduct.",
"The GMC then asked for a warning to be put on her registration, which was also refused, meaning Dr Arif is free to carry on working unrestricted.",
"The panel said Dr Arif had demonstrated 'genuine insight' into the level of failings and also believed the incident was isolated 'in an otherwise unblemished career'.",
"It added there were no indicators to suggest the doctor's failings would be repeated.",
"Last year the tribunal heard she was working on the children's oncology unit at a hospital in Nottingham.",
"Mrs Connolly said: 'It was not just her decisions that led to my son's death - it was a catalogue of errors.",
"But Dr Arif made some really significant decisions.",
"'If she was a doctor that had slept with a patient, then she would have been struck off yesterday.",
"I'm not saying doctors should go around sleeping with patients, but what is more serious: that, or a child needlessly dying?'",
"She added: 'It does not matter if it was an isolated incident.",
"If I knocked someone over in my car tomorrow, I would probably be jailed for it, even if I didn't mean to do it.'",
"Mrs Connolly said she is determined to keep fighting and has been talking to a company about a private prosecution.",
"She said: 'I can't change what happened.",
"But I can ensure it does not happen needlessly again.",
"If I don't keep fighting, I'm sure it will happen again - my heart says it will.",
"'If there is an avenue to go down, we will go down it.",
"I am not a NHS basher, they do a great job and there are far more good doctors than bad.",
"But, when the bad ones do something wrong, why do we let them get away with it?",
"Why can't we just say when they get it wrong?'"

"Misting machines were introduced on the fresh produce counters at Morrisons to create an impression of freshness.",
"Everything from lettuces to loose tomatoes were constantly sprayed with fine droplets of water, giving the idea they had just arrived, fresh out of the ground.",
"The resulting fog was part of the ‘retail theatre’ introduced by chief executive, Dalton Philips, who arrived from running a retail chain in Canada to spread a little magic over Morrisons and its sales.",
"The misters keeping this asparagus fresh are soon to be a thing of the past at Morrisons .",
"The machines are to go, despite having been installed in some 300 Morrisons supermarkets .",
"However, it seems they were a little too fancy for customers of Morrisons, which has decided to pull down the curtain on this particular show.",
"Mr Philips was ousted last month following a vicious campaign from an old guard of company executives, including Sir Ken Morrison, the former chairman and son of the founder of the chain.",
"Traditionally, Morrisons, which was founded in Bradford in 1899, built the layout of its stores around the theme of a street market with green grocer, butcher and baker.",
"The set-up appealed to customers in the north, where the brand is strong, who had a reputation for being careful with their money.",
"Consequently, the decision to bring in the misting machines, which has since been copied by some other stores, was something of a surprise.",
"Now, after spending a large sum of money installing the machines in some 300 of the chain’s supermarkets, the new management at Morrisons have decided to get rid of them.",
"It is not a moment too soon for Sir Ken, who has long argued the machines highlighted how Mr Philips had alienated core shoppers, many of whom have switched to budget rivals Aldi and Lidl.",
"One of Mr Philips’s biggest critics, Roger Owen, a former long-serving main board director, has been lobbying the company’s chairman, Andy Higginson, to get rid of the machines.",
"‘You don’t need misting.",
"It is a waste of money, a waste of time and it does carry a risk unless you spend a significant amount on maintenance,’ he said.",
"‘I said one of the first things Andy Higginson should do is take it out, which he obviously has done and good on him.",
"Former Morrisons chief executive Dalton Philips was ousted last month and now his misters are to go too .",
"‘If this is an indicator of his intention that he has already spoken about of getting the business back to its core values and core strengths, then this is a step in the right direction and a very, very visible one.’ Morrisons’ group retail director Martyn Fletcher told staff about the decision to dump the misting machines earlier this week.",
"A spokesman said: ‘This move is about going back to basics, using simpler refrigeration techniques and Morrisons’ traditional strengths in fresh food management to ensure our vegetables stay fresh.’ Morrisons did not actually fare too badly in recent sales figures compared to rivals .",
"The U-turn represents an end to what has been dubbed the ‘war of fog’ between Mr Philips and his detractors.",
"The former chief executive has always proudly defended the misting machines, which were used particularly in the South East, where stores attract a more middle class shopper.",
"He gave an interview to Retail Week last month saying: ‘I will refute until my last day about taking the stores upmarket, we did not do that.",
"'There are parts of the south of England which I think have benefitted from the slightly different assortment and I don’t regret that.",
"‘Misty veg is in our competitors now.",
"The most important thing is whether our customers liked it or not.’ The misting machines were part of a radical make-over for the Morrisons chain carried out by Mr Philips, who became chief executive in 2010.",
"He also introduced an online shopping service and began opening small convenience stores to tap into changing shopping habits.",
"This week, industry sales figures were released suggesting his radical ideas were beginning to bear fruit, however the improvement came too late to save Mr Philips and his job.",
"Figures from Kantar Worldpanel show sales were down by 0.4per cent over the past 12 weeks compared to the same period last year.",
"This was the best performance by the chain for a year and much better than Asda and Sainsbury’s."

"Thousands of the over-55s were warned about fraudsters abusing new pension freedoms by Pensions Minister Steve Webb – after he was targeted in a text scam.",
"From April, older workers will be able to cash in their pension for the first time and spend as they choose, rather than being forced to buy an annuity.",
"But in an assault on Britain’s nest eggs, criminals are contacting workers and encouraging them to invest their pension pot in everything from dodgy wealth funds to overseas properties which do not exist.",
"Pensions Minister Steve Webb, pictured, admitted he had been targeted by a text-based fraud gang .",
"Others are trying to get their hands on people’s life savings by offering them free ‘advice’ on the new reforms and asking them to hand over personal financial information.",
"Now, Mr Webb has told people approaching retirement to be ‘on their guard’ after being contacted himself by a firm offering to ‘review’ his pension savings.",
"Speaking at a conference hosted by the Resolution Foundation think tank, he said he had received a text message just minutes earlier from a suspicious-sounding company.",
"He told the audience ‘I was sitting upstairs and my phone went.",
"I got a text. I thought it would be my daughter asking for money, but, actually, it says: ‘If you have a frozen pension prior to 55 you are now entitled to a free review.",
"Please call back.",
"He joked: ‘Should I call?’, before issuing a stark warning, saying: ‘People are going to have access to an awful lot of cash and wherever there is cash there are crooks.",
"‘It’s a big issue. ‘Of course we will do what we can to drive out the crooks.",
"‘But you will never be always ahead of the game and we need everyone top realise there are lots of people out there who want to take your money and do not very good things with it.’ Pension firms have warned that conmen are targeting people in their early to mid-50s who have heard they can soon withdraw their entire pension to spend it or invest it as they choose.",
"Minister Webb warned people to be careful about where they invest their pension nest egg, file photograph .",
"But Mr Webb said the Government was aware that criminals were capitalising on the new pension freedoms and were doing ‘a huge amount of work’ behind the scenes to track them down.",
"He said: ‘There is more going on than I can say because we don’t want the bad guys to know what we are up to.",
"But buyer awareness is really very important.’ Under radical reforms announced in the Budget, people will soon be able to use their pension like a ‘bank account’ rather than being forced to invest it in a guaranteed monthly income for life.",
"It follows complaints that annuities had become poor value for money.",
"In two months’ time, over-55s can either withdraw the full amount or take it in chunks.",
"The first 25 per cent of each withdrawal will be tax-free and the rest will be taxed as income.",
"Experts have warned the popular reforms will be a ‘massive turbo-boost to fraudsters’ who are trying to persuade people to invest in high-risk or non-existent exotic investment schemes.",
"The Government has offered everyone access to free, independent guidance before accessing their money.",
"But conmen are using talk of ‘pension freedoms’ to trick those confused by the changes and offering their own guidance or ‘pension reviews’ to attract victims, including setting up stands in shopping centres.",
"A recent study found two in five people have already received messages via email or text inviting them to review their pension or release some of it as cash, according to a new study of UK adults.",
"Worryingly, more than a quarter said they were tempted to take up the offer, and one in seven said they had contacted the schemes.",
"Nearly a quarter of those surveyed also said they were unsure sure what to do with their pension when they reach 55.",
"Steve Hyndman, of pension firm Phoenix Group, which commissioned the survey, said: ‘People can lose their life savings through these scams.",
"‘And unfortunately, they are likely to be very successful.",
"‘From April, thousands of people will have access to their funds.",
"For many, it might be the first time they have had access to a lump sum and they will be looking for places to invest it.",
"They will be vulnerable to these kinds of cons.",
"‘If some invests in a scam at 55 but does not retire until they are 70, they may also not even notice their money has gone missing until they try to access it years later when they need it.’ He said other scams tried to convince under 55s that they too should withdraw their pension pot.",
"However, this incurs a huge 55 per cent tax charge and the conmen then take up to 30 per cent of the remainder, leaving the victim penniless.",
"The Association of British Insurers spokesman claims the threat to consumers is ‘evolving’, saying: ‘Our members have noticed schemes offering unrealistic returns in dubious and risky unregulated investments; and adverts falsely claiming links with pension flexibility and guidance about retirement options being introduced in April 2015.’"

"Tragic: Moscow resident Evgenia Sviridenko, 24, was found lifeless in the bath by her female housemate who had grown concerned about why she had been silent in the bathroom for so long .",
"Unfortunate: Miss Sviridenko is understood to have been using the phone to look at her social media page on VKontakte - the Russian version of Facebook - when the accident occured .",
"Speaking to local media from the apartment the two young women shared with Miss Sviridenko, Yaroslav Dubinina, 23, said: 'I noticed that she had been gone a while, and when I couldn't raise her I opened the door and saw her floating on the water looking really pale.'",
"'I saw her phone which was on the charger and at the bottom of the bath, and I unplugged it and pulled her out...Her body was still shaking from the shock,' she added.",
"Police are now investigating why the phone charger did not apparently cut out and refused to reveal whether it was a licensed Apple product or not.",

"A regional Investigative Committee spokesperson said initial tests had suggested the girl died from an electric shock but that the investigation was ongoing.",
"Again it is not known whether the charger used in the second incident in Russia's Bashkortostan Republic was a licensed Apple product or whether it was a fake.",

"Alecia Pennington, 19, claims that she was born at home and then never sent to school, taught instead by her mother.",

"Two men who led a drunk teenager from a nightclub to an alleyway where they subjected her to a rape 'of the most squalid kind' were today jailed for nine years each.",
"A judge told Craig Whitelaw and Kristofer McLaren they used the 'drunk and vulnerable' woman as a 'play thing' in a 50-minute ordeal that left her looking as though she had been in a fight.",
"Appearing at Teesside Crown Court, the two 21-year-olds were each convicted of one count of rape, while Whitelaw was also found guilty of a further charge of sexual assault.",
"Both men will have to sign the sex offenders register for life.",
"Jailed: Craig Whitelaw, left, and Kristofer McLaren, right, both 21, are beginning nine-year jail sentences for 'a rape of the most squalid kind' after they attacked a woman they had just met on the dancefloor of a nightclub .",
"Jailing the pair, Mr Justice Males told them their victim was 'so drunk that she was vulnerable and defenceless to your exploitation.'",
"But, he told them, 'there should be no doubt that what you did was still rape, and rape of the most squalid kind.'",
"'Your victim was very unwise to allow herself to drink so much that she became so thoroughly inebriated,' the judge said.",
"'But it was you, and only you, who deliberately took advantage of her condition, to take her to a dark alley to see what fun you could have with her.",
"'It's just lasses attention-seeking': What Whitelaw, pictured arriving at court for an earlier hearing, said of the victim after he was arrested by police .",
"'It was you who decided to treat her body as a plaything on which to act out your sordid fantasies of having a threesome.'",
"McLaren, of Thirsk, North Yorkshire, and Whitelaw, of Sutton, near Thirsk, had denied the charges against them.",
"They claimed their victim had instigated the sexual encounter and had consented throughout.",
"But at the end of a nine-day trial a jury of ten men and two women rejected their accounts.",
"In a victim impact statement, the traumatised victim - who had never before had a sexual experience - said she had worried for some months that she had contracted an STD and also feared that she may have been pregnant.",
"Whitelaw and McLaren had been drinking for most of the day before going to Club Amadeus, a popular dance venue in Northallerton, North Yorkshire.",
"They they met the 18-year-old victim for the first time on the dance floor and shared a kiss.",
"But within 11 minutes, they had steered her outside and down a nearby alleyway.",
"Prosecutor Paul Newcombe told the court that the pair took advantage of the fact she was intoxicated.",
"CCTV showed her 'stumbling repeatedly and often' as she was led out of the night club.",
"What followed was a fifty minute ordeal which left McLaren and Whitelaw's victim looking as though she had been in a fight.",
"When they had finished with her, McLaren and Whitelaw ignored their bleeding victim's pleas for help finding her friends; instead they left her in the dark alleyway and caught a a cab away from the scene.",
"Laughing and joking as they made their way home, they even boasted to the driver about what they had just done, police said.",
"When Whitelaw was arrested, he admitted having sex, but claimed it was consensual, and said: 'It's just lasses attention-seeking.'",
"Inebriated: Whitelaw and McLaren had been drinking for most of the day before going to Club Amadeus, pictured, a popular dance venue in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, where they met their victim .",
"Detective Inspector Fiona Wynne of Northallerton's Protecting Vulnerable Persons Unit had helped to investigate the case.",
"She welcomed the sentences.",
"'I am delighted that justice has been delivered for the victim.",
"She was subjected to a sustained attack by McLaren and Whitelaw.",
"They treated her like a piece of meat and left her bleeding and distressed,' said DI Wynne.",
"'They laughed and joked about it afterwards, even boasting to the taxi driver about what had just happened when they left the scene.",
"'I can't imagine how any woman would feel after such an ordeal, but it is particularly distressing that it was the victim's first sexual experience and she will have to live with that for the rest of her life.'",
"The victim's family thanked the police and their partner organisations for the support they had shown their daughter throughout her ordeal.",
"'From the minute the police picked our daughter up she has been treated with the utmost respect and sympathy by everyone who has had contact with her,' the family said in a statement.",
"'This includes every police officer involved, the support services and the court officials.",
"We would like to extend our thanks to all concerned.",
"'Everyone has acted with a high degree of professionalism, but at the same time have been very kind.",
"Thank you.' The number of recorded sexual offences is at a 10-year high, official figures show.",
"In the year to March 2014 there were a total of 64,205 sex crime incidents across England and Wales, an increase of a fifth on the previous year.",
"Within that, the number of rapes increased 26 per cent to 20,745 incidents, while the number of other sexual offences increased 17 per cent fo 43,460 incidents.",
"The Office for National Statistics said the increases may in part be because victims are more willing to come forward after the high-profile prosecutions of public figures such as Rolf Harris and Fred Talbot.",
"'While some of these increases will be a direct consequence of the historical crimes reported as part of Operation Yewtree, there is evidence to suggest that there has been a wider \"Yewtree effect\",' the ONS said in a statement.",
"'This refers to an increased willingness on the part of victims of sexual offences that are not directly connected to Yewtree to come forward to report both historical and recent sexual offences.'"

"'By the afternoon things had gone dark, it was very bleak leaving them there,' Quilty said.",
"'We thought he'd be fine.",
"I said one day we'd be sat on a veranda out in the bush smoking a pipe and drinking vodka together, now that looks like it will never happen.'",
"Quilty explained yesterday was the first time Sukumaran let out a tear when he said goodbye to his friend.",
"'The inevitability of it is brutal.",

"'All of the public statements from the Indonesian government made it clear that the applications would be refused because they were drug offenders,' he said.",

"A Montana homeowner was sentenced Thursday to 70 years in prison, with no parole for at least 20 years, in the shotgun killing of a German exchange student who was trespassing in his garage.",
"District Judge Ed McLean said Markus Kaarma was hunting, not safeguarding his home when he shot 17-year-old Diren Dede early one April morning.",
"'Here you have a 12-gauge shotgun, not to protect your family but to go after someone,' the judge told Kaarma.",
"'And go after someone you did.'",
"Convicted: Markus Kaarma stands in Missoula County District Court while Judge Ed McLean sentences him to 70 years in prison for the shooting death of German exchange student Diren Dede on Thursday .",
"Victim: Markus Kaarma shot Diren Dede (seen left and right), who was unarmed, after being alerted by motion sensors in his garage.",
"Witnesses said Kaarma fired at the teen four times, striking him twice .",
"A Missoula jury convicted Kaarma, 30, of deliberate homicide in the case that caused an outcry in Germany and brought scrutiny to Montana's law allowing the use of deadly force in some situations to protect home and family.",
"Kaarma faced between 10 to 100 years in prison.",
"He shot Dede, who was unarmed, after being alerted by motion sensors in his garage.",
"McLean was quoted by the Missoulian as also saying in court Thursday to Kaarma 'You pose too great a risk to society to be anywhere else but the Montana State Prison.",
"Good luck to you, son.'",
"Dede's father, Celal Dede, said of the sentence: 'It is justice.",
"I am not happy. My son is dead.' He and his wife attended the entire trial, and he flew back from Germany for Thursday's hearing.",
"Kaarma sat staring down during much of the proceeding, occasionally glancing around the crowded courtroom.",
"He sported buzz-cut, dark hair and an orange jail suit.",
"'I'm sorry my actions caused the death of Mr. Dede,' Kaarma told the judge.",
"Before handing down the sentence, McLean heard testimony from Kaarma's girlfriend, a detective, the teen's host parents in Missoula and others.",
"According to the Missoulian, host father Randy Smith testified 'Diren's murder has turned [our lives] into a whirlwind of shock, grief and sadness.",
"'It's one of those things that you see on the TV news, not here, not to us.",
"It's literally sucked all the joy out of our family.",
"Every day is a grind now.",
"We just do what we have to do to get through the day. Kaarma's mother, Chong Kaarma, pleaded for leniency for the sake of her grandson, asking the judge to let the boy have his father as soon as possible.",
"She apologized to Celal Dede from the stand.",
"He replied from his front-row seat: 'Why did you wait?",
"Too late.' Kaarma's girlfriend, Janelle Pflager, testified she has received death threats against her 19-month-old son with and Kaarma.",
"She called Kaarma the 'single-most misunderstood person I have ever met.'",
"'He didn't want to kill anyone,' she said.",
"'He only wanted to make sure he and myself and son were alive at the end.'",
"Missoula County Attorney Karla Painter later asked Pflager if she said during a phone call with Kaarma in jail that she and Kaarma wouldn't pay for the Dedes' 'dirty rat son' to be sent back to Germany for burial.",
"Pflager said she didn't recall saying that.",
"Family: Celal Dede, right, father of slain German student Diren Dede speaks while his attorney Bernard Docke listens in Missoula on Thursday.",
"Dede said of Kaarma's sentence 'It is justice.",
"I am not happy. My son is dead' Student: Diren Dede, from Hamburg, Germany, was studying at Missoula's Big Sky High School and planned to leave the U.S. after the school term ended a few weeks after the shooting .",
"Prosecutors argued Kaarma was intent on luring an intruder into his garage after it was burglarized at least once in the weeks before the shooting.",
"Three witnesses testified they heard Kaarma say he'd been waiting up nights to shoot an intruder.",
"On the night of the shooting, authorities said, Kaarma left his garage door partially open.",
"He fired four shotgun blasts, pausing between the third and fourth shots, witnesses said.",
"Lead detective Guy Baker testified that the first three shots were low and seemed to follow Dede as he moved across the garage.",
"But the fourth shot was aimed higher and struck Dede in the head, Baker said.",
"The Missoulian reported that Dr. Douglas Johnson said Kaarma has mental health issues, including anxiety, and that he stated 'I am confident that Markus Kaarma was remorseful.",
"He has strong feelings, but has difficulty expressing that.'",
"However, the newspaper quoted McLean as saying to Kaarma '[Your anxiety] doesn't excuse the anguish you have caused.",
"Anxiety isn't an excuse.'",
"Kaarma's lawyers argued the Missoula man feared for his life, didn't know if the intruder was armed, and was on edge because of a previous burglary.",
"Montana is among more than 30 states with expanded rights for residents to use deadly force to protect their homes or themselves, sometimes known as 'stand your ground' laws.",
"Kaarma said in court in December that he never intended to hurt anyone that night.",
"His attorneys have said they will appeal to Montana's Supreme Court.",
"'I did what I thought was necessary to protect my family,' he said, according to KPAX.",
"Dede, from Hamburg, Germany, was studying at Missoula's Big Sky High School and planned to leave the U.S. after the school term ended a few weeks after the shooting.",
"His parents testified earlier that they were unable to work or plan for the future after their son's death.",
"Also Thursday, McLean rejected a request for a new trial from Kaarma's attorneys.",
"They argued extensive news coverage of the shooting prevented the seating of an impartial jury.",
"The case prompted one Missoula lawmaker to draft legislation that would require violent entry into an occupied structure for the use of force to be justified.",
"Defense lawyers said they planned to appeal the verdict to the Montana Supreme Court, but otherwise made no comment.",
"Pronouncement: In this December 17, 2014 file photo, Markus Kaarma listens as a jury pronounces him guilty of deliberate homicide in Missoula County District Court ."

"The official album chart will see data online streaming from services such as Spotify and Deezer included for the first time from next month.",
"Data from services including Spotify, Napster and Google Play will be counted in the chart issued on Sunday March 1.",
"Using a convoluted algorithm to prevent wildly popular singles - such as Mark Ronson's 'Uptown Funk', which is being streamed 2million times a week - from spiking the rankings, the move will reflect modern changes in music consumption.",
"Mark Ronson's 'Uptown Funk' single is being streamed 2million times a week .",
"In the last 12 months to January, the number of songs streamed in the UK has doubled to 50 million a day and the singles chart started accepting streaming data in July.",
"But an album does not have to be listened to in its entirety - in fact, a stream that counts towards its ranking needs only to be listened to for 30 seconds, The Independent reported.",
"The Official Charts Company said the change had not been made 'lightly'.",
"Its chief executive, Martin Talbot, said: 'The Official Charts Company's mission is to compile the most accurate, reliable and up-to-date charts around, and in 2015 that means reflecting the popularity of streaming, alongside downloads, vinyl and - still the most popular album format - the CD.",
"'Initial indications are that the impact on actual chart positions will be modest to begin with, but we expect this to grow as streaming becomes increasingly popular.'",
"The data will be weighted so the charts are not skewed by the performance of one or two huge hits.",

"'Her language was poorly chosen and caused your mosque untold and undeserved hurt.",

"The Southern Poverty Law Center offered an apology of sorts on Thursday to Dr. Ben Carson, a black potential Republican presidential candiidate, for lumping him in with neo-Nazis, skinheads, and Klansmen on its influential 'Extremist Watch' website.",
"The iconic American civil rights group targeted Carson, a world-renowned retired pediatric neurosurgeon, because he is a Christian who opposes gay marriage.",
"The SPLC has seen its mission creep from defendng the civil rights of African-Americans to embracing a broader target list that includes 'white nationalists, anti-gay zealots, black separatists, racist skinheads, neo-Confederates' and others.",
"'In October 2014, we posted an \"Extremist File\" of Dr. Ben Carson,' the SPLC wrote in a statement on Thursday.",
"'This week, as we've come under intense criticism for doing so, we've reviewed our profile and have concluded that it did not meet our standards, so we have taken it down and apologize to Dr. Carson for having posted it.'",
"The mea culpa quickly took on a backhanded quality, however.",
"SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO .",
"Ben Carson, a possible 2016 presidential candidate, is making waves in Iowa (shown) and other early primary states – but his right-of-center views have attracted unusual critics including America's most iconic civil rights legal aid group .",
"NO DIFFERENCE? Presidential hopeful Ben Carson appeared until Thursady on the same Southern Poverty Law Center's watch list that includes skinheads and neo-Nazis, because he is a Christian who opposes gay marriage .",
"'We've also come to the conclusion,' the group added, 'that the question of whether a better-researched profile of Dr. Carson should or should not be included in our \"Extremist Files\" is taking attention from the fact that Dr. Carson has, in fact, made a number of statements that express views that we believe most people would conclude are extreme,' the group added.",
"The bulk of the published statement consisted of a list of those quotes.",
"Carson's attack at the hands of the SPLC was a hot topic of discussion among American conservatives this week as Carson moves closer to announcing a White House run.",
"'I don't think the left can stand the idea that the next black president might be a Republican,' one U.S. Senate staffer said, requesting anonymity because he is not quthorized to speak to the press.",
"'And the SPLC is a left-wing group.",
"Don't forget that.' The Southern Poverty Law Center did not respond to a request for comment.",
"Earlier in the week Daily Mail Online asked Carson if he thought the SPLC was 'crooked' in its dealings with Republicans.",
"'Oh, definitely,' he replied.",
"'And I – certainly that's been the impression of everybody I've heard from.'",
"'I find it very ironic that they would castigate someone as a hater whose entire professional career was spent saving people's lives,' he said.",
"Carson described a scholarship program he has endowed, and literacy projects he has set up 'specifically in poor areas, so that kids can learn the love of reading, which will have a profound impact on their academic performance.'",
"'But because I don't agree with them about traditional marriage, I'm a \"hater\",' he mused.",
"'And that's pretty interesting that someone could come away with that belief.'",
"David Duke (left), founded the Louisiana Ku Klux Klan and later ran for governor of Louisiana; the SPLC lists him on its 'Extremist Watch' website .",
"Carson first attracted national notice in 2013 when he chastized President Barack Obama from a few feet away at the speaker's podium during that year's National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. 'Obamacare,' Carson said, 'is really, I think, the worst thing that has happened in this nation since slavery.'",
"'In a way, it is slavery,' he added then.",
"His political positions are wrapped tightly in his Christianity, including opposition to gay marriage and a preference for a flat income tax rate that would affect everyone equally.",
"'When I pick up by Bible, you know what I see?'",
"he asked the prayer breakfast audience.",
"'I see the first individual in the universe, God, and he’s given us a system.",
"It’s called a tithe.'",
"Tithing is an institution that calls for Christians to donate a flat 10 per cent of their earnings to the church where they worship.",
"But it's speaking against same-sex unions that has put him on the hot seat, and may endanger his chances of emerging as a serious presidential contender outside America's Bible belt.",
"HORROR: Floyd Corkins entered the conservative Family Research Council's office in 2012 with a gun and shot a security guard, later saying he meant to kill as many people as he could; he got the idea from the SPLC's 'Extremist Watch' website .",
"'If we can redefine marriage as between two men or two women or any other way based on social pressures as opposed to between a man and a woman,' he wrote in his 2012 book America The Beautiful, 'we will continue to redefine it in any way that we wish, which is a slippery slope with a disastrous ending.'",
"More dramatically, he said during a 2013 Fox News hannel interview that 'traditional' marriage is 'a well-established pillar of society and no group – be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality – it doesn’t matter what they are, they don’t get to change the definition.'",
"NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Love Association, advocates for the normalization of pedophilia in society.",
"The Southern Poverty Law Center had cited those examples as evidence that Carson belongs on the same list as white nationalists and antisemites.",
"Days after the Fox interview, he admitted on CNN that his comments were 'somewhat insensitive, and I certainly apologize if I offended anyone.'",
"'I have always advocated equality for everyone,' Carson insisted.",
"'As a Christian, we have a duty to love everyone and to love them as ourselves.",
"You know, I love gay people.",
"I love straight people.'",
"On Monday Carson told Daily Mail Online that 'when embracing traditional Christian values is equated to hatred, we are approaching the stage where wrong is called right and right is called wrong.'",
"'It is absolutely critical for us to once again advocate true tolerance in this world where freedom of speech is closely guarded.",
"That means being respectful to all of those with whom we disagree, as well as allowing people to live according to their values without harassment.'",
"BAD COMPANY: The Southern Poverty Law Center listed Ben Carson as an 'extremist' alongside former KKK National Imperial Wizard Jeff Berry (left) and White Aryan Resistance founder Tom Metzger (right) RACE POLITICS: Malik Zulu Shabazz (left), head of the New Black Panther Party, has attracted the SPLC's attention but is one of only a few African-Americans on the same 'extremist' list that featured Carson .",
"'It is nothing but projectionist and ignorant,' Carson said, 'when groups label certain people with whom they disagree as haters.",
"Said behavior is truly uncouth and should be viewed as such.'",

"In an earlier post, Smith had outlined the deep love he had for his dog and how he took him everywhere with him after the 17-year-old pooch's health began to fail.",
"‘As I've spent the last year carrying him around like Hodor,’ Smith wrote, referring to a character from Game of Thrones, ‘I'm not taking this terribly well.",

"‘I was in pain and I just wanted to hear from people who knew that distinct pain of losing a dog.",
"And I'm glad I did, because I got to read some amazing stories people posted about the lives and deaths of their pets.",
"‘It was therapeutic for me. We don't really do wakes and funerals for our pets, so we usually miss that important step of the grieving process: grieving with others, sharing stories about the departed.’ Smith, the creator of the fictional characters Jay and Silent Bob, also has a Dachshund named Shecky and a large brown lab named Louis.",

"The company's logo is shown .",
"The Palo-Alto based company assembled a crack team of hackers and programmers called Project Zero in July to trawl its own – and its competitors – software for security flaws and give companies a deadline to fix them, Financial Post reported.",
"But some critics claim that’s a job for a neutral body.",
"For example, John Dickson, a principal with software security company Denim Group Ltd. in San Antonio said: ‘I’m not sure who made Google the official referee of the marketplace for vulnerability notification.",
"He added that pressuring companies to fix flaws is a good idea, but ‘what noble motives they [Google] had in mind could be called into question given the fact that they essentially outed vulnerabilities for two of their biggest rivals.’ Tomorrow, President Obama will visit Google to call on companies to work together and share information to thwart cyber crooks.",

"‘Policies and approaches that limit or ignore that partnership do not benefit the researchers, the software vendors, or our customers.",

"Brooke Walker, 15, gained weight after eating a diet of junk food as a child, and has now lost her confidence after years of being bullied at school.",
"Despite trying to eat healthily in her teenage years, she claims she simply cannot shed the pounds.",
"She says a gastric band operation would allow her to 'live a normal life', as her obesity has meant she has missed out on being a teenager.",
"Battle: Brooke Walker, 15, gained weight after eating a diet of junk food as a child and now weighs 17st.",
"She is desperate for a gastric band operation which she claims would allow her to 'live a normal life' Appearing on ITV's This Morning, she said: 'I spent all my childhood and teenage years being fat - and it's probably going to go on into my twenties.",
"'My size is stopping me from living a normal life.",
"'People care about your appearance.",
"You walk into a room, they look at you and they judge you.",
"'They don't want to get to know you for your personality.'",
"Brooke's story comes after a U.S. report out today argued obesity should be regarded as a chronic disease with biological causes, that can't be cured through diet and exercise.",
"Previously, experts have argued that weight loss surgery should be offered to more people as it would save the NHS money in the long term, at a time when obesity-related costs are spiralling.",
"Brooke said she began gaining weight at seven years old, when she didn't understand concepts like calories and healthy eating.",
"She said: 'When I was younger I would eat chips, pizza, fast food stuff.",
"Curry cheesy chips, I would have them a lot.",
"'I wasn't going out and burning off the food I ate.",
"Calorie intake wasn't explained to me.",
"I was seven, I was a child.",
"'Now, it's completely different.",
"I have breakfast lunch and dinner - and small portions.",
"'Now I would have cereal for breakfast, lunch, a soup or sandwich - it depends each day.'",
"Plight: Appearing on ITV's This Morning, she said: 'I spent all my childhood and teenage years being fat - and it's probably going to go on into my twenties' Brooke has since moved in with her grandmother, who encouraged healthy eating, exercise and smaller portion sizes.",
"After this change in lifestyle she was losing weight and enjoyed the feeling, so started skipping entire meals to see a quicker result.",
"She said: 'I noticed the weight coming off me.",
"I started lose more weight when I missed meals.",
"'I stopped eating breakfast.",
"I stopped eating lunch at school because I didn't like eating in front of people.",
"I was worried about what people were saying.'",
"Brooke says she was bullied at school, and told presenters Phillip Schofield and Christine Bleakley she had 'no social life'.",
"Her grandmother, Pat, said the bullying affects the whole family.",
"She said: 'It does put a big impact on the family life when Brooke is being bullied, because obviously Brooke takes it out on the ones closest to her.",
"'So Brooke could be fine, very happy, then she gets a remark off social media, and the whole house could be flipped upside down because Brooke is upset, go off to her room, be withdrawn.",
"'She finds it hard to talk about what's being said.'",
"After years of embarrassment, gastric band operation would allow her to live normally and enjoy her twenties.",
"She said: 'If I get a gastric band, it's not a quick fix.",
"'It'll be beneficial in the long run, because the weight is coming off you so you can watch what you're eating.",
"'Also, soon I'll start to like the way I look and I'll feel confident enough so I'll start feel comfortable going out in public by myself and make friends.'",
"Brooke's story comes after scientists today argued in a new report that exercise and diet are not enough to lose weight when people are obese.",
"The mantra 'eat less and move more' might help obese people shed pounds in the short term, but most put the weight straight back on, they warn.",
"Doctors need to regard obesity as a chronic disease with largely biological causes that cannot be cured through diet and exercise alone, the US specialists added.",
"Sharing: Despite trying to eat healthily in her teenage years, Brooke claims she simply can't shed the pounds .",
"Dieting triggers several biological systems that drive us to eat high-calorie foods and gain weight – a hangover from when humans needed to store fat to survive in times of scarcity.",
"And according to the four experts, writing in The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology journal, these biological reasons are why obese people often fail to maintain long-term weight loss.",
"Lead author Dr Christopher Ochner, from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, said lifestyle changes do not appear capable of overriding this fat-loss defence in most patients.",
"‘Although lifestyle modifications may result in lasting weight loss in overweight individuals, in those with chronic obesity bodyweight seems to become biologically defended,’ he said.",
"‘Therefore, the current advice to eat less and exercise more may be no more effective for most obese individuals than a recommendation to avoid sharp objects for someone bleeding profusely.’ Tam Fry, chair of the National Obesity Forum, broadly agreed with the report's findings.",
"Losing battle: Brooke's story comes after scientists today argued in a new report that exercise and diet are not enough to lose weight when people are obese .",
"He told This Morning: 'He's been too blunt to say you shouldn't eat well and exercise.",
"'Even for those people who have the fat gene, they still need to watch what they're eating and start exercising.",
"'He is correct that you get to such a size that perhaps that's not the whole story so they need to go off on to something else.'",
"He said he agreed Brooke should be given the gastric band operation on the NHS, saying it could be 'the game changer' for her.",
"Option: Some experts, such as Dr Christian Jessen, say more people should be given NHS gastric band surgery because 'it makes economic sense' He said: 'The operation should be the last resort.",
"You should go through the healthy lifestyle steps first.",
"But for people like Brooke, who have been through that, it's got to be the operation by choice.",
"'The NICE guidelines are too stringent.",
"They demand you should be a certain size, and particularly for children.",
"We should be thinking carefully about what we offer children.'",
"He added that after having the surgery, Brooke would have to stick to a diet and exercise plan, and should be offered psychiatric help to guide her through the drastic change in eating habits.",
"His comments echo those of other experts, who argue more people should be given gastric band surgery on the NHS because 'it makes economic sense'.",
"Dr Christian Jessen, presenter of Channel 4's Weighing Up The Enemy, estimates treating obesity and the associated health problems costs the NHS around £6 billion every year.",
"Experts appearing on the programme argued offering gastric band surgery to more patients could save the health service money.",
"The cost of the initial bariatric surgery would be recouped by the savings in medications, carers, and the cost of treating obesity-related conditions, they said.",
"The NHS Choices website reveals gastric band operations cost between £5,000 and £8,000 at private clinics.",
"And gastric bypass surgery costs the NHS between £9,500 to £15,000.",
"Last year 8,000 overweight patients were given weight loss surgery on the NHS.",
"But that is less than one per cent of those people who could benefit, they said.",
"However, they warned bariatric surgery is not without risks.",
"Complications include internal bleeding, respiratory problems and post-operative infections."

"Kent's police and crime commissioner Ann Barnes, who started her £85,000-a-year post in November 2012, spent thousands on PR consultants .",
"Kent's gaffe-prone police and crime commissioner who had to apologise after making a 'toe-curling' appearance on a 'disaster' TV documentary has used £16,000 of taxpayers' money to pay for media training, it has emerged.",
"Ann Barnes, who started her £85,000-a-year post in November 2012, spent thousands on PR consultants who were hired to give the force communications advice to improve its 'brand'.",
"It has also emerged that £2,400 was spent providing media training for youth commissioner Kerry Boyd, who was twice suspended after admitting having an affair with a Tory councillor more than twice her age.",
"The revelation is the latest embarrassment for the embattled crime tsar after a string of controversies under her watch.",
"This year, she was forced to apologise after being filmed saying she had 'no idea' what her taxpayer-funded job entailed - a storm which culminated in a rented plane flying over Maidstone, where she works, dragging a banner reading '#annbarnesout - resign'.",
"Her tenure has also included the resignation of her foul-mouthed youth commissioner - the first appointed in Britain - Paris Brown, who had to stand down after sending a series of controversial tweets about her sex life, violence, drinking binges and drugs.",
"According to the Kent Messenger, invoices published by the commissioner’s office under transparency regulations show one company was paid nearly £14,000 to provide recommendations on how to improve the force's 'brand' so it was better engaged with the public.",
"It says PR firm Finn Communications was paid £11,590 for work in June 2014, having previously been paid £2,146 in January last year for 'briefing and recommendations on communications consultancy project'.",
"The commissioner also paid £2,228 to consumer research company The Buzzz for work in October 2014.",
"A further £1,450 was paid to a company called DWP for 'media advice' while £3,370 was spent on providing staff with Freedom of Information advice.",
"But Mrs Barnes was quick to defend the bill, saying it was important 'to get an independent view on the communications being provided by Kent police'.",
"In a statement, she said: 'I am committed to providing value for money for services that the public pay for.",
"'I believe it was important to get an independent view on the communications being provided by Kent Police and I was pleased to see recognition for the wealth of information being issued through various channels.'",
"The amount of money spent on media training is the latest embarrassment for the embattled crime tsar (pictured) after a string of controversies under her watch since she took the post in November 2012 .",
"Last year, the commissioner was forced to make a public apology in the aftermath of a fly-on-the-wall Channel 4 documentary broadcast last May, which was branded a 'disaster from start to finish'.",
"In Channel 4's Meet The Police Commissioner, she was compared to David Brent and accused of making Kent Police a 'laughing stock'.",
"The next month, she was forced to appear before the Kent and Medway Police Panel, who scrutinise her role, where she admitted what an embarrassment the show had been - but refused to resign.",
"The documentary had showed Mrs Barnes travelling in a van she dubs 'Ann Force 1' and bringing her dogs into the office.",
"In one clip Mrs Barnes was seen drawing an onion in an attempt to explain what types of crime Kent Police prioritises.",
"But when asked what the rings meant she said: 'Oh God, I've got no idea - I can't tell you actually - I wasn't thinking I'd be talking about the actual onion (the concentric circles) as we call it - umm I don't know know really - everything's important.'",
"She was then asked: 'So what would be an example of the kind of crime on the outside of that ring?",
"', to which she replies that she had 'no idea'.",
"The controversial crime tsar spent more than £2,000 on media training for Kent's youth commissioner Kerry Boyd (right), who was suspended twice after admitting having an affair with a Tory councillor twice her age .",
"Mrs Barnes, who is paid £85,000 per year, with Britain's first youth crime commissioner Paris Brown, then 17 .",
"She was also asked: 'What is a police commissioner?'",
"to which she replied: 'Oh dear, what is a police commissioner?",
"Right, well it's not the Police Commissioner, it's the Police and Crime Commissioner.'",
"She later said: 'It's a strange job because there is actually no description at all - there are certain responsibilities you have to do, but there is no actual job description.'",
"She was also filmed painting her 'flaky' nails and compared the force to a tin of paint that she wanted to 'prise' open.",
"Mrs Barnes was also criticised for spending nearly £200,000 on moving her office when her force was trying to make cuts of £20million a year .",
"The other huge scandal to have marked her tenure was the resignation of youth commissioner Paris Brown, who was investigated by the force after posting controversial comments about her sex life, violence, drinking binges and drugs.",
"The teenager, who had been appointed to the £15,000-a-year taxpayer-funded position just one week earlier, was forced to resign following a tearful apology about her behaviour.",
"Brown's successor Kerry Boyd, 20, was then suspended twice after admitting having a relationship with a married former Tory councillor more than twice her age, Robert Burgess, 50.",
"Mrs Barnes was also criticised for spending nearly £200,000 on moving her office less than two miles at a time when her force was trying to make cuts of £20million a year.",
"She is also due to be quizzed over a car crash five months ago, amid claims she was uninsured and hindered the investigation.",
"Ms Barnes crashed her Mercedes soft-top into another car before hitting a tree as she drove to a meeting and has been facing an Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) inquiry.",
"But she has still not been interviewed following the incident in September last year.",
"Barnes was uninjured in the collision in Dartford, Kent, but on Twitter she admitted 'not feeling too bright' afterwards.",
"An IPCC spokesman previously said: 'The IPCC is investigating whether the police and crime commissioner for Kent, Ann Barnes, may have committed a criminal offence by not having in place appropriate insurance to cover business use of her own car when she was involved in a road traffic accident on 16 September 2014.",
"'The investigation will also determine how long the relevant insurance was not in place, if that is the case, and how many miles the PCC travelled on business use while uninsured.",
"'The IPCC is also investigating whether a police constable was obstructed in the execution of their duty when initial inquiries into the PCC's insurance cover were being made by Kent Police.'"

"A social services department allowed a convicted paedophile unrestricted access to a five-year-old girl and failed to tell her mother about his past.",
"The troubled social services department at Norfolk County Council has been accused of placing the child at risk as they allegedly knew the man was allowed to care for the girl alone but did not warn her mother about his history.",
"The case came to light after MPs and foster carers called for an investigation into claims the department has wrongly removed dozens of children from their carers.",
"The troubled social services department at Norfolk County Council (headquarters pictured) has been accused of placing a child at risk by failing to prevent the convicted paedophile from having access to the girl .",
"Minutes from a meeting show the girl sat on the paedophile's lap in the presence of a social worker on April 10 last year - two weeks before police were forced to intervene after he disappeared with her.",
"The allegation is the latest to hit Norfolk Children's Services after Ofsted raised concerns about child protection in the county.",
"A senior Government social work adviser who worked on the Baby P case has been drafted in to help turn the department around.",
"The girl's mother, who lived in Great Yarmouth at the time, said: 'They failed me, they put my daughter at risk and I want some kind of justice.'",
"The paedophile - whose crimes were described as 'lamentable' by a judge at the time - was placed on the sex offenders register for life in 2008 for attacks on girls as young as seven over a period of two decades.",
"He re-established contact with the girl's mother, who he was related to but had not seen for decades, in February last year.",
"She insists she had no knowledge of his sex abuse past and says that he initially seemed to be playing a positive role in the family's life.",
"North Norfolk MP Norman Lamb (pictured left) and West Norfolk MP Henry Bellingham (right) have said they have both been contacted by people in similar positions and suspect this incident is not an isolated case .",
"But the woman alleges the man sexually assaulted her on April 25 before taking her daughter on a shopping trip alone.",
"She phoned social services and was told to call the police immediately.",
"Officers tracked him down after about an hour and established the girl had not been harmed.",
"Two days after this incident social workers revealed his history of abuse to the girl's mother - she claims they told her she must have been aware.",
"A council spokesman said that the girl was not subject to a child protection plan at the time, although documents show she was classed as a less serious 'child in need'.",
"He added: 'It is disappointing that when he was present during a meeting at the mother's home, we didn't put two and two together and realise that he was a convicted paedophile.",
"'No concerns were raised about him by the mother or anyone else at that meeting, and it was not thought necessary to check the background of a visitor.",
"'Once the level of risk became clear we acted quickly to ensure the child's safety.",
"Fortunately, we have no reason to believe that the girl was harmed during the time he was with the family.'",
"The social worker involved has since left their job.",
"The girl was initially taken into temporary care then never returned as social workers claim the mother should have known about the risk.",
"The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, is seeking new legal representation to reopen the case.",
"Police are investigating her claims of sexual assault.",
"The girl's mother said: 'They all knew he was in our lives because I was over moon and telling everybody.",
"'They're supposed to check on anybody who comes into my life and has access to my daughter - at no point did they tell me he was a sex offender or warn me about him.",
"'When they intervened, it was too late and I feel very lucky my daughter wasn't harmed.",
"'I've lost my daughter and I don't want this to happen to other mothers.'",
"In a separate case one of the department's team managers has been suspended over allegations he removed a child from a foster carer without evidence of deliberate harm.",
"The Norfolk Foster Carers' Association (NFCA) said it had been contacted by dozens of parents and foster parents making similar claims.",
"West Norfolk MP Henry Bellingham and North Norfolk MP Norman Lamb said they had been contacted by people in similar positions and suspected it was not an isolated case.",
"Norfolk County Council said it was aware of concerns which are being 'investigated thoroughly and carefully'.",
"In a further statement released late this afternoon, a Norfolk County Council spokesman said: 'In this instance the mother had invited a man back into her life in February 2014.",
"'He had previously been jailed for serious sexual offences against children.",
"'At the meeting in question, called to consider the child's behaviour and welfare, no concerns were raised by the mother.",
"'The agency social worker (who no longer works for Norfolk County Council) regrettably took that introduction at face value.",
"'Our current practice would expect a more proactive and diligent approach to be taken than occurred in this instance.",
"'It was not until two weeks later, when the mother lodged a serious complaint against the man that his background became clear.",
"'It became apparent that he had been on the scene for several weeks, and during that time there were instances that should have given cause for concern to the mother.",
"'This matter is now the subject of a police investigation and we are unable to comment further at this time.'",
"The council last week announced that troubleshooter Mark Gurrey - who was parachuted into Haringey Council after the death of Baby P - had been appointed to work with existing managers and the Department of Education to help improve services."

"Her bizarre New Age views on topics such as reincarnation and UFOs have often left the public baffled.",
"Now Shirley MacLaine has provoked widespread fury by claiming the victims of the Holocaust may have brought their fate upon themselves.",
"The veteran Hollywood actress suggests the six million Jews and millions of others systematically murdered in Hitler’s death camps in the 1940s were ‘balancing their karma’ for crimes committed in past lives.",
"She also suggests that cosmologist Professor Stephen Hawking may have subconsciously given himself his debilitating motor neurone disease.",
"Really, Shirley?",
"Actress Shirley MacLaine has been denounced by Jewish campaigners and other activists after suggesting that the millions of victims of Nazi death camps may have needed to balance their karma .",
"Miss MacLaine’s comments, in a recently published book, were attacked last night by Jewish campaigners and other activists as offensive and wrong.",
"In her memoir, the 80-year-old, who won an Oscar for Terms Of Endearment, writes: ‘What if most Holocaust victims were balancing their karma from ages before, when they were Roman soldiers putting Christians to death, the Crusaders who murdered millions in the name of Christianity, soldiers with Hannibal, or those who stormed across the Near East with Alexander?",
"The energy of killing is endless and will be experienced by the killer and the killee.’ A spokesman for the Community Security Trust, which campaigns against anti-Semitism, said: ‘The first impressions are that these comments will offend and bemuse many Jews – and many other people too.’ In her book What If..., Miss MacLaine, who was raised a Baptist but is well known for her unconventional views on reincarnation and alien life, suggests Professor Hawking had subconsciously brought his crippling medical condition on himself.",
"She says he may have created his illness in order to ‘free his mind’ from the needs of his body, so he could focus completely on his scientific research.",
"'Balancing their karma': Jewish women and children at Auschwitz concentration camp in Nazi-occupied Poland.",
"Miss MacLaine suggested they may have been Roman soldiers in their previous incarnations .",
"Miss MacLaine, who has previously insisted that she lived on Atlantis in an earlier life, claims to be friends with the scientist, whose life inspired the award-winning film The Theory Of Everything, starring Eddie Redmayne.",
"Her book – subtitled A Lifetime Of Questions, Speculations, Reasonable Guesses And A Few Things I Know For Sure – poses the question: ‘Did he “create” the disease that has crippled him in order to learn to be dependent on caregivers and the kindness of strangers so that he could free his entire mind to the pursuit of knowledge?",
"‘Did he “create” the disease that has crippled him?'",
"asks Miss MacLaine of the disabled cosmologist Stephen Hawking, pictured with Eddie Redmayne .",
"‘What if he inadvertently chose to set an example of himself to show the rest of us that cosmic travel and universal understanding are available, regardless of one’s physical condition or circumstance?",
"'If Jesus chose to die in a state of martyrdom, then Stephen Hawking could just as readily have chosen to live in a dual state of being: visibly physical weakness and unseen knowledge and power.",
"What if all reality is an illusion?’ Her views were branded ‘utterly ridiculous’ by disability charity Scope, while a spokesman for Disability Rights UK added: ‘She obviously has some very confused ideas that a lot of disabled people will be baffled by.",
"'It’s completely wrong to say people choose their disabilities, especially Professor Stephen Hawking, who has a genetic condition.’ Miss MacLaine, who played Lady Grantham’s American mother in Downton Abbey, writes that she is recognised more for her part in the ITV drama than for any of her film roles.",
"She also suggests that she felt so at home on the set because she may have lived in the 1920s during a past life.",
"Representatives for Miss MacLaine declined to comment last night."

"'Lovely character': Schoolboy Daniel Spargo-Mabbs was just 16 when he died after taking ecstasy at a warehouse rave .",
"The heartbroken father of a teenager who died at a rave after taking a lethal dose of ecstasy today told an inquest of his ‘unspeakable’ loss.",
"Daniel Spargo-Mabbs, 16, fell unconscious after taking a lethal dose of the Class A party drug with his friends at a warehouse party in Hayes, west London.",
"The teenager and his friends had clubbed together to buy £80 worth of the drug, and were supplied by Nicqueel Pitrora on January 17 last year.",
"Known as ‘Shampz’ to the schoolboys, Pitrora, 19, was a regular dealer to children and used their payments to supplement his benefits .",
"On their way to the rave, Daniel and four friends met a man on a bike who handed them three bags of white powder after the deal had been arranged with Pitrora.",
"Four of the boys, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, dissolved the drug in 100ml bottles of water while using public transport to reach Silverdale Industrial Estate for the rave.",
"But Daniel sprinkled around half a gramme of the crystalline powder into 500ml of water and drank it in one go once inside the warehouse.",
"Shortly afterwards, the teenager took his shirt off, became animated about his girlfriend and started to dance.",
"But by 4am, his temperature had soared and he collapsed to the ground.",
"Daniel was rushed to nearby Hillingdon hospital by paramedics but nothing could be done to save him.",
"His multi-organ failure became so severe that doctors considered lower limb amputation, but by the morning of January 20, doctors admitted their attempts at helping Daniel were becoming more and more futile.",
"After consultation with Daniel’s family, a decision was made to turn off his life support machine and he was pronounced dead at 2.36pm at King’s College Hospital, where he had been transferred.",
"His devastated father Tim today told West London Coroner’s Court that the Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation had been set up in his memory to educate young people about the dangers of taking illegal drugs.",
"Mr Spargo-Mabbs said: ‘We have seen the sort of hole a death like this leaves - we have lived it for a year.",
"‘And in response all we can find to do is offer ourselves in the service of the charitable foundation trying to prevent this happening to any other family.’ Mr Spargo-Mabbs said his son had led ‘such a good life’ and was a ‘lovely and outrageous character.’ He added: ‘He had a lot to teach me about how to live life well and take every opportunity, and to have a laugh in almost every situation.",
"‘There is no verbalising the loss we all feel and no end to the pain that his death leaves us with.",
"‘What there is, however, is the determination shared by his family, school, friends and church, to prevent this happening to anybody else, and that is the best we can pray for now.’ He added his ‘undying thanks’ to all those who had treated Daniel and supported the family.",
"Popular: The teenager and four friends had taken the Class A drug on their way to the rave in Hayes, west London, but Daniel collapsed whilst dancing .",
"Fun: Daniel's devastated father Tim said his son had taught him 'about how to live life well and take every opportunity, and to have a laugh in almost every situation' Popular Daniel was a member of Amnesty International and was known to run errands for pensioners on his paper round.",
"Coroner Sarah Ormond-Walshe recorded his death as multi-organ failure and MDMA toxicity, which was ‘wholly in keeping’ with taking the drug.",
"She said: ‘The tragic facts are that this is a young man, a teenager, who has attended a rave on the 17/18 January 2014.",
"‘He has taken MDMA - we know that this was a dose that was fatal.",
"‘He was found in a semi-collapsed state and taken by ambulance first to the Hillingdon Hospital.",
"‘The doctors, the nurses, the healthcare professionals tried in order to pull out every single stop to save him.’ Supplier: Nicqueel Pitrora was jailed for five years for supplying class A drugs last August .",
"Pitrora, of London Road, Croydon, was jailed for five years in August last year for supplying Class A drugs.",
"Ms Ormond-Walshe went on to praise both hospitals and the police for all their work.",
"She said a desperate last attempt was made to transfer him to Kings College to save him, and doctors used the ‘most aggressive therapy’ available.",
"She added: ‘He just could not be saved - he was too ill.",
"The amount of MDMA in his blood was a fatal level, and that was the problem.",
"‘He was a fit and well 16-year-old who collapsed at a rave in a warehouse at the back of an industrial estate after having taken MDMA.",
"‘I have been very, very impressed with not only how courageous and positive the family have been but how much dignity the family have had after Daniel’s death, and how they have turned it into positive thinking in these devastating circumstances.",
"‘I have also been very impressed by what they are doing in relation to the Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation.",
"‘It is such an insightful and positive and realistic notion that the family are taking forward.",
"‘I am minded to write an open letter to the foundation setting out some of the facts of Daniel’s case and how much I support the education of teenagers in relation to illegal drugs.'"

"Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman told councillor Karen Danczuk she was 'far too pretty to be interested in politics' and should join a girl band instead.",
"Miss Harman allegedly made the remarks after being introduced to Mrs Danczuk for the first time.",
"It comes after the Labour shadow minister was accused of 'patronising' women after unveiling a bright pink women-only mini bus to attract female voters ahead of the election in May.",
"Scroll down for video .",
"Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman told MP's wife Karen Danczuk she was 'far too pretty to be interested in politics' and should join a girl band instead .",
"Mrs Danczuk, whose husband is the Labour MP Simon Danczuk, said Miss Harman's pink battle bus exposed politicians' failure to listen seriously to voters' concerns.",
"She said: 'What women voters want from politicians is their concerns heard in a serious manner.",
"Not a patronising pink bus screaming drama queen!'",
"Mrs Danczuk later added: 'When I first met Harriet Harman she said I was far too pretty to be interested in politics & should be in Girls Aloud.'",
"She told MailOnline: 'It was at a conference in Manchester.",
"I wanted a photo with her and she said \"you're far too pretty to be in politics\".",
"I suppose I've proved her wrong - I did go on to be a councillor.'",
"But Miss Harman this afternoon rejected the allegation.",
"She said: 'I deny I ever said that and it’s inconceivable I would have ever said that.",
"'I have always believed it’s what you do in politics, not what you look like.",
"I have never discouraged a woman from getting involved in politics on the basis of their looks.'",
"The allegation sparked fresh accusations that Mrs Harman was belittling female voters.",
"Labour's 'woman-to-woman' campaign tour got off to a rocky start in Stevenage yesterday when an angry voter told her it was 'patronising and wrong' to divide men and women.",
"Asda shopper Bobby Smith demanded to know if Labour was planning to also have a blue man to appeal to male voters .",
"Mrs Danczuk said Labour's pink battle van – which has been dubbed the Harriet's Barbie bus – exposed MPs' failure to listen seriously to voters' concerns .",
"In a bizarre twist in gender politics, Ms Harman revealed the party had even held 'doctrinal discussions' about whether a man is allowed to drive the Woman to Woman bus as it tours marginal seats.",
"Yesterday it had a woman driver.",
"The minibus, funded by the Unite union, will tour 70 marginal seats in the run-up to the election on May 7, with female Labour MPs, councillors and trade unionists on board.",
"Labour said it will visit school gates, shopping centres and high streets.",
"Miss Harman's tour received a mixed response yesterday.",
"Nicola Dinnage from Stevenage, said: 'I think it's silly and I think it's patronising.'",
"Her sister, Kirsty Dinnage, added: 'Them using a pink bus wouldn't make me vote.'",
"Beverley Gould from Knebworth said it is 'very patronising', adding that she does not think the pink bus will make any difference to female voting numbers.",
"But other shoppers disagreed, with Beb Metcalfe, from Welwyn, saying the colour of the bus 'doesn't matter'.",
"Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman yesterday unveiled the pink, 16-seat minibus in Stevenage ahead of its tour 70 marginal seats in the run-up to the election .",
"Ms Harman posed in front of the van with Labour MPs including (left to right) Sharon Hodgson, Gloria de Piero, Caroline Flint and Lucy Powell .",
"However, Miss Harman has spent the day denying it is patronising because it 'doesn't have big eyelashes on the front'.",
"She told Sky News: 'It's not about a colour it's about something, it's about our democracy.",
"It's a small bus but big issues.'",
"The Labour bus has sparked a storm of criticism, and has been repeatedly likened to a Barbie vehicle .",
"Ahead of the bus's official unveiling, Miss Harman said that 'ultimately' the colour choice was hers it had to be 'eye-catching' because there is a 'big hole in our democratic politics at the moment'.",
"She insisted that the bus would help to address political disengagement amongst women.",
"But critics said the pink obsession makes it look like something from an advert for women-only insurance firm Shelia's Wheels .",
"Ms Harman chatted with shoppers in the Stevenage branch of Asda, but many felt the van was patronising .",
"Twitter parody account mocked up Harriet Harmnan, Glora de Piero and Lucy Powell in a Shelia's Wheels ad .",
"This mocked up photo refers to the child abuse scandal in Labour-run Rotherham where young girls were repeatedly groomed .",
"The use of a pink van sparked comparisons to when Labour frontbencher Emily Thornberry was accused of sneering after she tweeted a picture of a white van outside a house with England flags hanging from the women.",
"Last week shadow education spokesman Tristram Hunt got into hot water after appearing to criticise nuns as teachers .",
"After a difficult week of criticism from business leaders who used to back Labour, Ed Miliband might be glad to have the support of Barbie .",
"Senior Labour MPs tried to defend the colour, insisting it was actually 'magenta' and had been used at party conferences in the past.",
"A Labour source joked: 'We modelled it on the colour that David Cameron's face goes when he gets cross during Prime Minister's Question time.'",
"But the Prime Minister mocked the bus in the Commons yesterday: 'What Britain's families need to get on most of all is the security of a good school place, and we are providing them, the security of a good job, and we are providing them, and the security of a safe community, and we are providing them.",
"'I have to say Labour's campaign - I would say the wheels are falling off the wagon but I think the wheels are falling off the bus.",
"'We now know it is not going to be driven by anyone on the front bench, surprise, surprise it is going to be driven by Unite.'",
"Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman defended the party's women-only pink minibus, insisting it would be 'looking great .",
"Ms Harman was challenged on ITV's Good Morning Britain about why everyone was talking about the colour of the bus and not important election issues .",
"Given that Labour's official colour has long been red, it would have made sense – and caused less controversy – if the mini-bus had been red too.",
"But Harriet Harman worried it might have ended up looking like a sandwich delivery firm., .",
"She told journalists: 'We could have had red but that would look like all the other Labour vehicles and we wanted something different.",
"'Then we wanted a darker red but it looked like Pret a Manger.",
"We wanted it to look conspicuous and therefore obviously a white van was not going to do the job.",
"'It is a very nice looking bus.",
"It is the correct colour.",
"This is a One Nation Labour colour.'",
"Speaking on ITV's Good Morning Britain, Miss Harman said: 'We just wanted an eye catching colour.",
"The reason why it has to be eye-catching is because there is a big hole in our democratic politics at the moment.'",
"She claimed 9.1million women did not vote in the general election in 2010 'because they just don't think that politicians have got any interest in their lives or understand their lives or have got anything to offer to them'.",
"She added: 'In this general election we think it's important that women do think that they have got a chance to have a say and this election is about their future and their daughters and their granddaughters' future.'",
"Lib Dem deputy prime minister Nick Clegg said it was the wrong way to attract female voters.",
"He told the Western Morning News: 'The Barbie bus?",
"It's just a tiny bit condescending because it's bright and pink therefore women relate to it more.",
"'It's a bit like saying that political parties should drive around in macho red sports cars and blokes across the country will suddenly listen to them.",
"'It just a slightly patronising way to deal with voters it seems to me.'",
"Tory Caroline Dineage: 'The wheels have come off the Labour bus.",
"Getting Harriet Harman to drive around the country in a pink van to try and attract the female vote is as patronising as it gets.",
"'This is clearly just another divisive gimmick that the electorate will see through.",
"The launch of Labour's Woman to Woman bus left internet bloggers tickled pink – as the web buzzed with a host of jokes and parodies.",
"One mocked-up an image of deputy leader Harriet Harman, along with MPs Gloria De Piero and Lucy Powell, in a spoof advert for women's car insurer Sheilas' Wheels.",
"The pink theme was also likened to the 2001 film Legally Blonde in a mock film poster declaring: 'Reese Witherspoon Votes Labour this summer.'",
"But one less humorous posting referred to the child grooming scandal which has hit Labour-run Rotherham Council.",
"It showed the back of the bus emblazoned with Miss Harman's face and the large slogan 'Labour looking after women'.",
"Attached to an asterisk underneath, the caption adds: 'Like we did in Rotherham.'",
"Critics also say the pink obsession makes it look like something from an advert for women-only insurance firm Shelia's Wheels .",
"The pink obsession was likened to the Reese Witherspoon film Legally Blonde in this mock film poster .",

"Mrs Rees's case makes a strong argument in favour of using surveillance cameras to keep a check on elderly relatives in care homes.",
"And today the health watchdog, the Care Quality Commission, has published new guidance - a step in the right direction, Mrs Rees's family told MailOnline.",
"Bridie Rees was abused, taunted and poked by staff nurse Faderera Bello at her care home.",
"After complaining to her family and suffering bruises, they installed a £120 covert camera in her room to check on her .",
"Irene Rees, who is married to Bridie's son William, urged other family's to use CCTV to keep an eye on their relatives, adding the practice could also protect staff facing accusations.",
"'This is a step in the right direction,' Mrs Rees told MailOnline.",
"'But we need to see it taken a step further.",
"'Care homes should be offering families the option of CCTV.",
"I would urge all families to use CCTV.",

"It comes following several high profile incidents where secret devices have been used.",
"'Recording equipment can be used to monitor a place, a person, a group or an activity to gather information,' the 12-page document states.",
"'This can be done openly, or it can be done in secret, in which case the people being monitored are unlikely to know that they are being recorded.",
"'People may use video cameras to do this, but there are many other options available including hidden sound-recording equipment, or motion sensors.'",
"The CQC's chief inspector of adult social care, Andrea Sutcliffe, said: 'We know [the highest care] does not always happen and the anxiety and distress this causes people, either for themselves or a loved one, is simply awful.",

"'Bridie told Veronica, \"She punches me… the nurse punches me\",' Mrs Rees said.",
"'She was really weak at this point and we didn't want to stress her out.",
"'But we knew she wouldn't lie about being punched.'",
"The family bought a camera off the internet, hid it in a clock and positioned it near her bed.",
"They viewed it a few days later and were horrified by what they say.",
"Mrs Rees said: 'A nurse poked her in the face, slapped and shouted at Bridie as she cowered.",
"'I felt sick. \"'You silly woman.",
"I can't do anything for you\", the nurse said.",
"'Prodding and shoving her, she manhandled poor, tiny Bridie while she screamed and sobbed.",

"Three of Britain's biggest aquariums have come under fire for serving fish and chips in their restaurants - despite promoting conservation of marine life.",

"Writing to the National Marine Aquarium, she said: 'The National Marine Aquarium advertises itself as a place where people can cultivate an understanding of and admiration for sea animals.",
"'Yet after inviting people to look on these glorious, fascinating animals in awe, it's odd that your cafe then invites people to stick a fork in them.",
"'Serving fish in an aquarium is like serving monkey nuggets at a zoo.'",
"Peta is calling for the aquarium to take fish off the menu - and suggests the attraction instead serves vegetarian options such as fish-free fish fingers, faux-fish cakes and vegetarian prawns.",

"On the menu: The restaurant at The Deep in Hull, East Yorkshire, offers a number of seafood dishes including the 'catch of the day', 'chorizo and smoked cod croquettes' and 'crayfish, tomato, chilli and fetel cocktail' But the aquarium hit back claiming it is pro-sustainable fishing.",

"The average household calorie consumption has risen by 12 per cent since 2006.",
"Sugar rose by 11 per cent and fat by 12 per cent.",
"One in four adults is considered dangerously overweight, and for children the figure is one in five.",
"The Government’s flagship strategy hinges on arrangements with food and drinks firms to voluntarily cut levels of sugar and fat.",
"But this Responsibility Deal policy, introduced in 2011, has been likened to ‘putting Dracula in charge of the blood bank’ by charities, while doctors argue obesity can only be properly tackled if firms are forced by law to make products healthier.",

"Professor Jebb was appointed the Government’s adviser on obesity in 2011 by former health secretary Andrew Lansley, who also disbanded the existing group of experts who had been very critical of the Responsibility Deal.",
"The investigation also found scientists working for the Government’s Human Nutrition Research Unit, which aims to reduce obesity, received funding from the food industry averaging £250,000 a year.",
"They include Dr Ravin Jugdaohsingh who was given £58,248 from Coca-Cola.",
"Dr Aseem Malhotra, a consultant cardiologist and director of campaign group Action On Sugar, said: ‘The public would be appalled to learn that scientists advising them how much sugar to consume have financial ties to the sugar industry.",
"The responsibility deal has been a complete failure.’ Tam Fry, of the National Obesity Forum, said: ‘It is legislation, not cosy deals, which we need to tackle this crisis.’ But other scientists insisted the food industry did not influence their research nor advice, even if it paid for it.",
"Professor Jebb added: ‘Everything I do, whether in my research or as chair of the responsibility deal, is to try to improve public health.’"
