Prompt: Nigel Farage tonight insisted he would not give up trying to pull Britain out of the European Union even if voters rejected leaving in a referendum. The Ukip leader said he would accept the result and rejected claims his party would become 'redundant' as a result.

Scroll down for video . Nigel Farage, speaking tonight on a special Question Time style programme broadcast on the BBC, insisted he would not give up trying to pull Britain out of the European Union even if voters rejected leaving in a referendum . The Ukip leader said he would accept the result, but rejected claims his party would become 'redundant' as a result . The Ukip leader's comments come after David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg faced a live-TV grilling over their plans for the next five years in power. All three leaders faced questions over Mr Cameron's proposed European referendum in 2017. The Prime Minister revealed that he would not go into any future Coalition which refused to grant the public a say on Britain's membership of the EU. Mr Miliband however batted off criticism from the audience to insist that he would not hold a referendum – insisting it was not in Britain's interests. Speaking tonight, Mr Farage claimed Britain could thrive outside the EU and vowed to push for a referendum before 2017. He said: 'The point about a referendum is we've had a variety of promises of referendums that have never been delivered. 'I want that referendum conducted on full, free and fair terms. And what I mean by that is that both sides must have the same spending limits. The broadcasters must have an Ombudsman to make sure there is a proper, even debate and we must - and we must define who is qualified to vote in this referendum and who isn't. 'And if it's a full, free and fair referendum I will accept the result. Would it make UKIP redundant? No, because just look at what's happened in Scotland. The Scots – the Scots rejected their independence referendum and yet the SNP have gone to remarkable heights since then.' The Ukip leader faced questions from a live audience for the show, hosted by the presenter Jo Cockburn, broadcast tonight . The show was broadcast after David Cameron, Ed Miliband and Nick Clegg faced a live-TV grilling over their plans for the next five years in power . Mr Farage's claim that Ukip could surge to similar levels of support to the SNP is likely to spark accusations of hubris. In the wake of last year's independence referendum in Scotland, the SNP has seen its support surge to 54 per cent – putting it on course, according to some analysts, to win all 59 seats north of the border. Ukip meanwhile trail badly behind both the Tories and Labour – currently languishing on between 10-15 per cent in the polls. Unlike the SNP, the party is expected to win no more than five seats on May 7 – with some pollsters predicting only the popular Douglas Carswell clinging onto his seat in Clacton, Essex. But Mr Farage insisted Ukip was on course to do well at the election and claimed the party's stance on border controls was backed by the vast majority of the country. He said: '77 per cent of British people want us to have proper border controls and reduced immigration levels, all right? I am pro immigration, but I'm pro controlled immigration.' During the earlier TV showdown Mr Cameron guaranteed that he would not go into government with any party that would not give the public an in-out referendum . Ed Miliband, appearing on the Question Time special tonight, insisted he would not give voters a say on Europe . Mr Farage said Ukip could save 'easily £1bn a year' from NHS health tourism and returned to the controversial topic of foreign HIV sufferers receiving treatment on the NHS. He said: 'The issue I specifically raised was the issue that since 2012 anybody can come to Britain, not to live, but anybody can come to Britain and get HIV treatment on the National Health Service. 'Now it's interesting. I have here a letter from a 30 year old HIV positive man in London who says, why are the waiting rooms now full to overflowing? Why does it now take me three weeks to get an appointment? 'And he says to me, it is because since we opened the door in 2012 we're now incapable of providing HIV treatment for people legally living in Britain.' Mr Farage, facing tough questions from the studio audience, insisted Britain would not be damaged by leaving the EU. He said: 'We're not exiting Europe. Let's be very clear about that. I love Europe, it's a wonderful place. It's got different countries, different people, different languages, cultures, wines, cheeses, it's a great place. 'And providing it's democratic and not fighting each other it is, I think in many ways the richest, culturally the richest continent on Earth. 'However, what now masquerades as being Europe, what has hijacked the word Europe, is something called the European Union which has a flag, it has an anthem, it has a President – not that anyone can ever name who they are – and it is a political union that now makes nearly 75% of our laws, costs us a great deal of money and I think is wholly unnecessary, not just for Britain, but I feel that for the rest of Europe too. Nicola Sturgeon faced questions  from a studio audience at BBC Scotland in Glasgow this evening . The Scottish First Minister insisted she would block a Labour budget if Mr Miliband would not compromise with her . The Ukip leader also backtracked on comments praising the Russian leader Vladimir Putin – admitting that he was 'probably' a threat to the UK. 'Mr Putin who is clearly acting aggressively. I think he is a threat to us. I think there is also a threat from some of the extreme Islamic elements in the Middle East and it's back to the question about defence.'

Prompt: Two states at the center of gay rights protests over laws designed to 'uphold religious freedom' engaged in hurried climbdowns yesterday, with both approving alterations to legislation that critics said legalized discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. 'Now that this is behind us, let's move forward together with a renewed commitment to the civility and respect that make this state great,' Indiana Governor Mike Pence said after signing his state's amended measure. The Arkansas legislature also passed changes to its legislation at the behest of the state's Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson, who rejected a previous version of the bill at the last minute on Wednesday following public uproar and a personal plea from his son. Hutchinson signed the new legislation last night. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson signs a reworked religious freedom bill into law on Thursday evening. Lawmakers in Arkansas and Indiana hoped that by amending their states' measures they would quiet the national uproar over new religious objections that opponents say are designed to offer a legal defense for anti-gay discrimination . 'Now that this is behind us, let's move forward together with a renewed commitment to the civility and respect that make this state great,' Indiana Governor Mike Pence said after signing his state's amended measure Thursday evening . Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma speaks at a press conference announcing changes to the state's religious freedom law as Senate President Pro Tem David Long, left, looks on. The GOP leaders on Thursday added anti-discrimination safeguards to the controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act . 'I think it’s sending the right signal, the way this has been resolved, to the world and the country that Arkansas understands the diversity of our culture and workforce but also the importance of balancing that with our sincerely held religious convictions,' Hutchinson said. The recently empowered governor also suggested he'd issue an executive order banning discrimination in the workplace for state employees, according to a CNN report. The two, GOP-controlled states were in a frenzy this week to quell national outrage over legislation meant to satisfy evangelicals who do not believe they should be compelled by the government to provide goods and services to certain customers if doing so would violate their religious convictions. The moves had the direct effect of upsetting gay and lesbian individuals, however, and incited massive protests. After gay rights activists, sympathetic businesses and celebrities thrust the measures into the national spotlight, both states found themselves in the cross-hairs, and even Republican lawmakers began to distance themselves from the laws as written. Republican leaders in the Hoosier State conceded this week to critics arguing that their state's law, signed into effect by Governor Mike Pence a week ago today, inadvertently left room for discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. 'It was never intended to discriminate against anyone,' Indiana Senate President Pro Tem David Long said at a Thursday morning at a press conference. Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma, standing alongside Long, said, 'Hoosier hospitality had to be restored.' 'It is causing real harm to real people right now in our state. I'm not talking about those who feel their rights are being infringed, I'm talking about commerce in a major, major way,' Bosma said of the law Thursday . Acknowledging that the changes to the law won't necessarily satisfy religious groups, he said, 'we had to be prompt. We had to be swift.' Opponents of an Arkansas religious objection measure chant 'We Are Arkansas' as they face the Arkansas state Capitol in Little Rock on Wednesday. Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson earlier that day said he wants the legislature to either recall the bill from his desk or pass a follow-up measure that would make the proposal more closely mirror a 1993 federal religious-freedom law . In addition to the already protected classes of persons, the new language specifies that businesses, individuals and other providers cannot refuse to do business with persons on the basis of their sexual orientation or gender identity. No one has the legal right to 'refuse to offer or provide' goods, services, facilities or employment to anyone for those reasons, it says. Exempted from the new rules, however, are churches and non-profit religious organizations, including schools. After adamantly defending the state's law in the national press, Pence suddenly said Tuesday that 'it would be helpful to move legislation this week that makes it clear that this law does not give businesses a right to deny services to anyone.' The 180 earned him the mocking of the White House, which described him as a 'previously defiant governor' who changed his position after a 'bipartisan and even nonpolitical outcry.' Pence said Thursday he believed the move to change the legislation was in the best way forward for his state. 'There will be some who think this legislation goes too far and some who think it does not go far enough, but as governor I must always put the interest of our state first and ask myself every day, 'What is best for Indiana?' Pence said in a statement. 'I believe resolving this controversy and making clear that every person feels welcome and respected in our state is best for Indiana.' Demonstrators hold signs on the steps of the Arkansas state Capitol thanking Hutchinson for calling for changes to the religious freedom measure. A new version of Arkansas' law is now making its way through the statehouse. The altered bill would more closely mirror federal legislation . The new version of Arkansas' law  more closely mirrors federal legislation. The fixes passed the state's Senate Wednesday night and its House Thursday. Hutchinson on Wednesday had requested the legislative changes, saying he could not sign the bill until they were made. 'How do we as a state communicate to the world that we are respectful of a diverse workplace and we want to be known as a state that does not discriminate but understands tolerance?' he said during a press conference outside the state Capitol. 'That is the challenge we face. Making this law like the federal law will aid us in that effort in communication, but also was my original objective from the beginning.' Upon signing the bill Thursday, Hutchinson said, 'I know it's been a contentious debate.' 'We resolved it in an Arkansas way and in the right way for our country and for the people of Arkansas.' Hutchinson said he recognizes this is not the end of the debate, 'but the fact that it might not solve every problem for everyone probably means it's a good bill.' Conservative lawmakers said they didn't appreciate the slap in the face from Hutchinson, who had said numerous times in the past that he would approve the legislation in its current form when it reached his desk, but they worked to make the necessary adjustments just the same. 'I don't feel it was right for the governor to say he was going to sign something that he watched all the way through and didn't sign,' state senator Terry Rice told Arkansas Online. 'I know things come up at the last minute but now we have hodgepodged some bills together.' That sentiment was shared by Arkansas Family Council, a group that favors the law and pushed to get it passed. 'I'm very puzzled at this point to see why the bill would need to be amended at this late date, considering everybody in the chamber has had a chance to see it,' Jerry Cox, the group's leader, said. 'I think it's been thoroughly vetted, and it's a good law.' A family-owned pizzeria in Indiana that said it wouldn't cater same-sex weddings shut down until further notice on Wednesday after the owners received threatening phone calls, and the establishment's YELP page was flooded with bad reviews . Indiana, the first of the two states to pass the offending religious liberty legislation, saw a fierce backlash over the weekend and early this week that included thousands of protesters descending on the state Capitol and a prominent local business cancelling a planned $40 million expansion of its headquarters after Pence formally approved the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. Hutchinson, who took office just two months ago, seeking to avoid an uprising of equal intensity in his own state, pushed legislators in Arkansas to make adjustments to their bill before he put his name on it. The Arkansas-based retail corporation Wal-Mart publicly lobbied the Republican politician not to approve the bill, labeling it as discriminatory. Meanwhile, in Indiana, a family-owned pizzeria, Memories, that said it wouldn't cater same-sex weddings shut down until further notice on Wednesday after the owners received threatening phone calls and the establishment's YELP page was flooded with bad reviews.

Prompt: Barcelona players were put through their paces as they put the finishing touches to preparations for the Champions League quarter-final clash with French giants PSG. The first-leg of the highly anticipated tie will take place at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday. Speaking to the club's official website, defender Adriano warned his team-mates ahead of the game they must be at their absolute best if they are to overcome PSG's star-studded squad, which includes the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva and Lucas Moura. He said, 'We have to be alert throughout the match. If we make any mistakes, even small ones, they have excellent players that can break the game.'

Prompt: Sport's propensity to play mind games with its protagonists was rarely more obviously stated than after qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix, when Nico Rosberg cursed his Mercedes team. Hamilton, the world champion, was relaxed and delighted having taken pole but Rosberg, his team-mate, was grim-faced, demoralised and made his first public criticism of his team. Nico Rosberg will start behind pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton with Sebastian Vettel third on the grid in China . Rosberg cut a frustrated figure in the paddock after he missed out on pole to Hamilton by just 0.042secs . Rosberg was only four-hundredths of a second behind the Briton and will start second on the grid. Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari is third, nearly a second adrift of Hamilton. But Rosberg was visibly angry after the Mercedes pit-wall brains put him under unnecessary ‘pressure’. The German was the last driver out for his final flying lap, meaning he had to rush to get in a competitive time. Rosberg, who is customarily gracious in defeat, fell slightly short of Hamilton’s mark and was grumpy afterwards. He said: ‘It was not ideal to put me under pressure like that. I don’t think it cost me anything, but even the mind-set to know that I have to speed up a bit — we need to look into that. Sparks fly off the back of Rosberg's Mercedes during qualifying for Sunday's race in Shanghai . The German has now been out-qualified by Hamilton at each of the three races this season . ‘Other than that the lap was good  and it is very annoying as the lap is never perfect, so four hundredths is always in it. Tyre degradation is going to be a big issue for the race as we are going to take the tyres right to the limit. So there are many opportunities.’ Poor old Rosberg was cock of the walk in the early and middle parts of last season, but he seems terribly lacklustre since Hamilton won the title. Even his Mercedes boss, Niki Lauda, said he should ‘sort himself out’ — a statement on Rosberg’s psyche rather than his work ethic. Whether he has the speed to match Hamilton may be at the centre of his anger. The Briton set his fastest time on his penultimate lap. It was enough. Rosberg, though, got closer to Hamilton than he has recently. McLaren will again be towards the back of the grid with Jenson Button 17th and Fernando Alonso 18th. Barely a hair’s breadth separated the former champions. Button said: ‘I guess we hoped we might be just a bit closer than we were today. In practice, we’d looked a bit more competitive, certainly. ‘We’d found a reasonably good balance with the car, in fact, but the lap-time isn’t quite there yet.’ Hamilton will start from the front of the pack as he bids to win his fourth grand prix in China .

Prompt: A gay student in Louisiana says she is going to skip her senior prom because the school principal won't let her wear a tuxedo. Claudetteia Love, a senior and one of the top students at Carroll High in Monroe, said she was planning on going to the prom without a date and with a group of friends, but now she and her friends are staying away. Though a petition was started and signed by members of the senior class to allow Love to wear a tuxedo, it was not acted on by school faculty. Carroll High School senior Claudetteia Love will skip her senior prom after her Monroe, Louisiana, school's principal told her that she would not be allowed to wear a tuxedo . Principal Patrick Taylor told Love that the decision was dress-code related and that she shouldn't take it personally . 'I told my mom, "They're using me". They put me in all these honors and advanced placement classes so I can take all of these tests and get good grades and better the school, but when it's time for me to celebrate the fact that I've accomplished what I need to accomplish and I'm about to graduate, they don't want to let me do it the way I want to,'' she told The News-Star. The decision is part of the school's dress code and not anything personal, principal Patrick Taylor told The News-Star. Love's mother, Geraldine Jackson, said Taylor told her faculty members said they wouldn't supervise the April 24 prom if girls wore tuxes. 'That's his exact words. "Girls wear dresses and boys wear tuxes, and that's the way it is,"' she said. Love was going to go to the prom with a group of friends and no date, but all of them have decided not to go after Taylor made his rule. Love's mother said that she believes Taylor is 'taking his values and throwing them' on her daughter because she's a lesbian . 'I feel like he's taking his values and throwing them on my daughter because of what her preference is and what she represents,' Jackson added. Monroe City School Board President Rodney McFarland said Taylor's decision was discriminatory and he disagreed with it. 'Banning her from her prom just because of what she wants to wear - that's discrimination,' he said. 'As far as I know there is no Monroe City School Board policy saying what someone has to wear to attend the prom. You can't just go making up policies.' He said he planned to ask Superintendent Brent Vidrine to talk to Taylor. Love said that though she will skip her own prom, she hopes that she can make a difference for younger students. Love is a top-performing student at Carroll High School. She will represent the school at an annual scholars' banquet and has a full scholarship to Jackson State University once she graduates . 'There are other girls in lower grades than me, and I want for them when they come up to not to have to feel like they aren't accepted,' Love said. She added: 'I don't want them to feel like they are less of a person because people don't accept them. 'There are people in the world that won't accept you but they don't have to be so judgmental and make you feel like you're less of a person and that you shouldn't express yourself.' Last year, Love was one of a group of students presented in a Monroe City School Board meeting as part of the school's high achieving medical magnet program. She will represent the school at the annual Scholars' Banquet, an event for the top students in Ouachita Parish, and has a full scholarship to Jackson State University.

Prompt: A doctor who ploughed into an elderly couple in a 50mph head on crash while rushing to work has escaped prosecution after the police officer investigating the case went off sick. The female driver in a Toyota Aygo pulled in front of Colin Kay as he was driving his Citroen Picasso on the A586 in Great Eccleston in Lancashire last year. The collision was captured on film as Mr Kay had fitted a camera to his dashboard and revealed how he had no time to react and avoid the crash. Scroll down for video . Colin Kay captured the collision on a dashcam which showed how the Toyota Aygo driver veered across the road . The incident happened on the A586 in Great Eccleston in Lancashire last year and Mr Kay provided Lancashire Police with the footage . After the incident last year, the doctor driving the Toyota also had to be cut from her vehicle and was taken to the Royal Preston Hospital by air ambulance . The 72-year-old was left with bruises after the crash and his wife Krysia suffered a whiplash injury to her shoulder. But despite having evidence recorded on his dashcam, Mr Kay has now been told there will be no further action because the investigating officer went off sick and they could not prepare the paperwork in time. The retired engineer from Bacup in Lancashire, said: 'I contacted the police because I was keen to see a full prosecution to stop more careless driving. 'But nothing has been done because the investigating officer went off sick and they could not prepare the paperwork in time. Mr Kay has taken his case to the IPCC after the driver who ploughed into his car will not face any further action after the investigating officer went off sick . 'I think it is disgusting.

The pensioner has now contacted the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) and sent them a copy of the footage after learning there would be no further action.

After the incident last year, the doctor driving the Toyota also had to be cut from her vehicle and was taken to the Royal Preston Hospital by air ambulance. It is understood she did not have serious injuries. The grandfather-of-seven explained: 'We were extremely lucky. I have a pacemaker and I thought my chest was going to explode. 'We were both bruised right across where the seatbelts were. 'It is a miracle that no one was more seriously hurt given that it was a serious head-on smash at 50mph. 'I had very little time to brake because she turned right in front of me due to a lapse in concentration. "I feared the worst afterwards because she was trapped in her vehicle but thankfully she was not badly hurt, and was cut out by the Lancashire Fire and Rescue.' A spokesman for Lancashire Police explained that there is a six-month period in which a prosecution would have to take place. This is the time limit set for summary offences, which are heard in a magistrates court to come to court. They also added that it was unfortunate that another officer failed to pick up the case instead. He said: 'Officers attended the scene and carried out a thorough investigation. 'An accident report was submitted with a recommendation for the driver to attend a Drivers' Alertness Course. 'Unfortunately, the officer in the case was off sick and the report was not processed within the allocated time frame for prosecution.'

Prompt: From a rusting Ferris wheel to a train rendered barely visible due to overgrown weeds, this Japanese theme park hasn't heard the happy screams of visiting children in a very long time. In its heyday, Kejonuma Leisure Land, in Tohoku, Japan, attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors. With an amusement park, campsite and driving range, the once-bustling family-friendly attraction closed its doors officially in 2000 following a drop in visitors, attributed to Japan's low birth rate and economic collapse.

A former Japanese theme park, Kejonuma Leisure Land, in Tohoku, Japan, has been abandoned since 2000 due to a decline in visitors. The park, which included an amusement park, campsite, and driving range, was once a popular destination, attracting around 200,000 visitors annually. However, its popularity waned, and the park officially closed its doors in 2000.

Urban explorer Florian Seidel, a photographer from Kensai-based photographer, visited the site in 2014 and 2023 to document its ongoing dereliction. Seidel found that the park's remains, including a rust

Prompt: It looks like your typical outback fibro home, tin roof and all, but this property which is currently for sale is now at the centre of one of Australia's most chilling murder mysteries. For days now, detectives have swarmed over three bedroom Leeton home where Stephanie Scott's accused killer, high school cleaner Vincent Stanford, 24, lived with his mother Anika and elder brother Luke. In a rare scene of frantic activity on this peaceful suburban street, home to families and pensioners, investigators clad in blue forensic overalls heaped bags of evidence out the back of the property on Thursday evening. Detectives had first arrived at the property on Wednesday night speaking to two occupants before Mr Stanford arrived home and charged after investigators discovered discrepancies in his alibi. Police allege they discovered blood inside the school cleaner's Toyota Hilux, a picture of a burnt body on his mobile phone and a set of school keys thought to belong to Ms Scott inside the property itself. Neighbours told Daily Mail Australia the Stanford family have lived at the property, which is on the market for $179,000, for 'around 13 months'. Gail Scanlan, who lives next-door, said they would regularly chat to the 'beautifully manner' but quiet Mr Stanford over the backyard fence. Scroll down for video .
