Prompt: Characterised by their long beak and large throat poach used for catching prey and draining water, pelicans are already aesthetically peculiar looking birds. But it turns out that watching one yawn is an even stranger visual experience, as an American man discovered after coming face-to-face with one of the birds. Capturing the footage in Santa Barbara, California, Scott Kaiser filmed the back of the large pelican sitting on a post overlooking the water. Recording the bird in slow motion, the video maker later noted that the pelican looked majestic, content and relaxed at this point in the clip. Before it began lifting its head all the way back and opening its mouth extremely wide to show off the size difference between the two parts of its beak. The bird then closes its mouth while looking up at the sky and the air sacs in its throat begin deflating once again as it settles back down. The bizarre slow motion footage was captured in Santa Barbara, California by video maker Scott Kaiser . At this point all the excitement appears to be over. But the bird shows it has one more trick up its sleeve as it rolls its head right back, opens its mouth again and inflates its air sacs. On display appears to be the pelican’s tongue and, quite bizarrely, some inner bill anatomy. The video concludes with the bird returning to its original position and continuing to look over the water as if nothing ever happened. The bird lifts its head all the way back and opens its mouth to show off the size difference between the two parts of its beak . The video maker later commented on the experience, describing it as an amazing display of the length and strength of the pelican’s neck and bill. Pelicans are large water birds that have mainly light-coloured plumage – the exceptions being the brown and Peruvian pelicans. They travel in flocks and hunt cooperatively, feeding primarily on fish caught on or near the water surface. The bird rolls its head right back, opens its mouth and inflates its air sacs to expose its tongue and some inner bill anatomy .

[Assistant] A video captured by American man Scott Kaiser shows a pelican's unique behavior of yawning while showing off its beak size difference. The bird, sitting on a post in Santa Barbara, California, yawns and then opens its mouth wide, revealing its throat air sacs. The video appears to be a slow-motion recording, and the bird then rolls its head back, opens its mouth again, and inflates its air sacs, exposing its tongue and inner bill anatomy. The video ends with the bird returning to its normal position, seemingly unbothered by the unusual display.

Prompt: Sacked by the BBC: Jeremy Clarkson (pictured on April 10) said receiving a cancer warning was one of the most stressful experiences of his life . Two days before assaulting a BBC producer, Jeremy Clarkson was told by a doctor that he might have cancer. Speaking for the first time in detail about the incident that resulted in his sacking from the Top Gear show, 55-year-old Clarkson said being given the warning was one of the most stressful experiences of his life. In an attempt to explain his state of mind at the time of the attack, he said: ‘Two days before the “fracas”, I had been told, sternly, by my doctor that the lump on my tongue was probably cancer and that I must get it checked out immediately. But I couldn’t do that. 'We were in the middle of a Top Gear series. And Top Gear always came first.’ Clarkson said he had now been given the all-clear, but wrote in his column in The Sunday Times: ‘That was the most stressful day I have ever had in 27 years at the BBC. ‘It was beyond-belief stressful, everything was gong wrong, and then you know... there you go. But everyone has stressful days, and they manage to cope better than I had.’ Clarkson was sacked by the Corporation after an ‘unprovoked physical and verbal’ attack in Hawes, North Yorkshire that left his victim, Oisin Tymon, 36, in need of hospital treatment. The presenter said the show about cars had come to dominate his life after his divorce from wife Frances and the death of his mother Shirley, and he worried about all parts of the programme.

He said: ‘I woke every morning worrying about every single line. And I went to bed at night worrying that the changes I’d made during the day were wrong. ‘Friends would talk to me when we were out and, though I could see their lips moving, I couldn’t hear what they were saying.’ He added: ‘I felt sick because after I’d lost my home and my mother, I’d thrown myself even more vigorously into my job and now, idiotically, I’d managed to lose that too.’ Clarkson also revealed that he expected to present another television show about cars in the future.

But the broadcasting veteran received widespread public support, including from friend Prime Minister David Cameron. Clarkson said he even considered turning his back on presenting altogether in the immediate fall-out from the incident. Earlier this month, North Yorkshire Police said that following an investigation Clarkson would face no further police action over his attack on the producer at a hotel. Clarkson pulled out of his planned appearance hosting BBC satirical show Have I Got News For You, which was due to be filmed next week, and aired a day later.

Prompt: Chances are you've been to Malaga. Well, the airport at any rate. Every year, millions of us pass through on the way to the beaches of the Costa del Sol or palaces of Granada. But, now, the southern Spanish port is having a moment. Thanks to a multi-million pound regeneration project, and several new galleries and museums, this once down-at-heel city has become one of Europe's hippest destinations. Incoming: The Centre Pompidou Malaga, a pop-up version of the Parisian institution, has opened to visitors . Along with a thriving cultural scene, there are good restaurants, great shopping and exciting nightlife. This week saw the opening of Centre Pompidou Malaga, the first of several popup versions of the famous Parisian gallery planned outside France. It is housed in a low-slung white building topped with a giant glass cube in the trendy harbour area. When I turn up, a large crowd is queuing to pay the £6.70 entrance fee to view 90 works by artists such as Miro, Magritte and Picasso on loan from the Pompidou in France, plus an exhibition exploring dance and choreography. There's a brilliant room of self-portraits, including a Francis Bacon and Frida Kahlo. Drawing a big huddle is Kader Attia's striking installation, Ghost — a mass of Muslim women in prayer, made from tin foil. Pompidou is the latest bold step in branding Malaga a 'City of Museums'. Across town, the first overseas branch of St Petersburg State Russian Museum has just opened in a refurbished tobacco factory. Take a good look: Gibralfaro Castle offers fine views of the city, with the Mediterranean as a wide backdrop . Next door is the Malaga Automobile Museum, an extraordinary celebration of cars, fashion and art. By 2016, a Museum of Fine Arts and Archaeology will complete the set. Malaga's Picasso Museum opened in 2003 — a long-held dream of the artist, who was born in the city in 1881. The Automobile Museum in Malaga houses around 90 classic cars, plus displays of haute couture . Round the corner, you can peek into Santiago church where he was baptised. The Picasso Birthplace Museum in the house where he lived until he was ten, contains more paintings, ceramics, early photos, belongings and sketchbooks. What sets Malaga apart — for now, at least — is that all these galleries tend to be uncrowded, refreshingly small, and most in walking distance of each other. That means there's plenty of time to explore Andalusian cuisine. Get in the mood at the buzzing Atarazanas market, then try the terrace at El Pimpi, which overlooks the Roman amphitheatre. For unbeatable seafood, take the bus to the beach at Pedregalejo on the city's outskirts, where locals feast on freshly caught boquerones (anchovies, often deep fried), espetos (sardines, barbecued on sticks) and platters of enormous mussels, prawns and clams. For modern minimalism, head to the sleek gastrobars of the arty Soho district, such as KGB, where punky young things queue for tables. 'Seville just stays the same,' one girl tells me over fusion tapas and a beer. 'Malaga is moving on.' Green and pleasant: Malaga's botanical garden plays host to exotic plants from around the world . Near the Pompidou is the city's botanic gardens, rated as one of the best in Europe and bursting with palms, exotic plants and squawking birds. Also to see are the Moorish Alcazaba fortress and Gibralfaro castle, where you can enjoy fabulous panoramic views of the city. Visitor numbers are already soaring — with some people saying Malaga will be like Barcelona in ten years' time. I'm tempted to agree with them. British Airways (0844 4930787, www.ba.com) has daily flights from London to Malaga from £82 return. The four-star Hotel Guadalmedina (www.hotelguadalmedina.es) offers double rooms from €70, room only. More on the Pompidou Centre Malaga: www.centrepompidou.es .

But, now, the southern Spanish port is having a moment. Thanks to a multi-million pound regeneration project, and several new galleries and museums, this once down-at-heel city has become one of Europe's hippest destinations. Incoming: The Centre Pompidou Malaga, a pop-up version of the Parisian institution, has opened to visitors . Along with a thriving cultural scene, there are good restaurants, great shopping and exciting nightlife. This week saw the opening of Centre Pompidou Malaga, the first of several popup versions of the famous Parisian gallery planned outside France. It is housed in a low-slung white building topped with a giant glass cube in the trendy harbour area. When I turn up, a large crowd is queuing to pay the £6.70 entrance fee to view 90 works by artists such as Miro, Magritte and Picasso on loan from the Pompidou in France, plus an exhibition exploring dance and choreography. There's a brilliant room of self-portraits, including a Francis Bacon and Frida Kahlo. Drawing a big huddle is Kader Attia's striking installation, Ghost — a mass of Muslim women in prayer, made from tin foil. Pompidou is the latest bold step in branding Malaga a 'City of Museums'. Across town, the first overseas branch of St Petersburg State Russian Museum has just opened in a refurbished tobacco factory. Take a good look: Gibralfaro Castle offers fine views of the city, with the Mediterranean as a wide backdrop . Next door is the Malaga Automobile Museum, an extraordinary celebration of cars, fashion and art. By 2016, a Museum of Fine Arts and Archaeology will complete the set. Malaga's Picasso Museum opened in 2003 — a long-held dream of the artist, who was born in the city in 1881. The Automobile Museum in Malaga houses around 90 classic cars, plus displays of haute couture . Round the corner, you can peek into Santiago church where he was baptised. The Picasso Birthplace Museum in the house where he lived until he was ten, contains more paintings, ceramics, early photos, belongings and sketchbooks. What sets Malaga apart — for now, at least — is that all these galleries tend to be uncrowded, refreshingly small, and most in walking distance of each other. That means there's plenty of time to explore Andalusian cuisine. Get in the mood at the buzzing Atarazanas market, then try the terrace at El Pimpi, which overlooks the Roman amphitheatre. For unbeatable seafood, take the bus to the beach at Pedregalejo on the city's outskirts, where locals feast on freshly caught boquerones (anchovies, often deep fried), espetos (sardines, barbecued on sticks) and platters of enormous mussels, prawns and clams. For modern minimalism, head to the sleek gastrobars of the arty Soho district, such as KGB, where punky young things queue for tables. 'Seville just stays the same,' one girl tells me over fusion tapas and a beer. 'Malaga is moving on.' Green and pleasant: Malaga's botanical garden plays host to exotic plants from around the world . Near the Pompidou is the city's botanic gardens, rated as one of the best in Europe and bursting with palms, exotic plants and squawking birds. Also to see are the Moorish Alcazaba fortress and Gibralfaro castle, where you can enjoy fabulous panoramic views of the city. Visitor numbers are already soaring — with some people saying Malaga will be like Barcelona in ten years' time. I'm tempted to agree with them. British Airways (0844 4930787, www.ba.com) has daily flights from London to Malaga from £82 return. The four-star Hotel Guadalmedina (www.hotelguadalmedina.es) offers double rooms from €70, room only. More on the Pompidou Centre Malaga: www.centrepompidou.es .

Prompt: An American who suffered  third-degree burns to 70 per cent of his body in a childhood accident has faced his fears by becoming a firefighter. Terry McCarty was just six years old when he was engulfed with flames after his brothers filled a bowl with kerosene which was set alight and accidentally knocked on to him. The 29-year-old, from Hawthorne, Nevada, endured 58 operations as well as cruel taunts from bullies who called him Freddy Krueger because of the scars on his face, body and arms. But he was determined to overcome the harrowing experience that had crippled his confidence for years. Form victim to hero: Terry McCarty was just six years old (left) when he suffered third-degree burns to 70 per cent of his body in a childhood accident. He has now overcome his terrible injuries and cruel taunts from bullies by becoming a firefighter (right) after refusing to let 'fear take over my life' Endured 58 operations: Terry McCarty aged six with his mother Nancy. He was engulfed with flames after his brothers filled a bowl with kerosene which was set alight and accidentally knocked on to him . He said: 'After the accident I lived in a constant state of fear and uncertainty. 'I struggled to find work as an adult as people always told me I was a liability, and I had started to believe it. 'Becoming a fireman was a spur of the moment decision - I thought if I could do this, people would realise I could do anything.' Mr McCarty applied to a Washington fire service in October 2011. After his application was accepted in April 2012, he faced 12 weeks of gruelling training, where he confronted fire for the first time since his accident. 'If I could do this, people would realise I could do anything': Terry McCarty in his bunker gear aged 26 (left) and 27 (right). He applied to the fire service in October 2011 and passing his training in July the following year . He said: 'As part of my training I had to complete a live fire exercise, where fire is made using propane in an artificial setting. 'Fear washed right over me, just as the fire had all those years ago. 'I couldn't move, I felt like I was six years old again when I saw those flames shooting out of the ceiling. 'But I think it helped. In the end - I started to realise the fire didn't control me. Why should I let fear take over my life?' In July 2012, having passed his training, Mr McCarty won the admiration and respect of his colleagues and the public. He said: 'Attending events, or even just being out in public in my uniform, always attracted a mixture of shocked and awed reactions.' Agony: Terry McCarty aged six (left) and (right) after undergoing skin grafts aged seven. He suffered cruel taunts from bullies who called him Freddy Krueger because of the scars on his face, body and arms . Always there for him: Terry McCarty at his homecoming aged 16 with his father and brother Ryan . Mr McCarty lost part of his fingers and thumbs in the accident and had to teach himself how to quickly put on his uniform and air tank and properly brace himself with his hip when using a hose. Having spent two years as a firefighter, he quit the force to work with the Burned Children Recovery Foundation at Camp Phoenix, a programme in Bellingham, Washington, supporting children with burns. He said: 'Fire robbed me of my childhood - I wanted to give these children a chance to experience being a kid, even for a short time.' After his accident in 1992, he was placed in a medically-induced coma for two months at Shriners Hospital in Galveston, Texas. Mr McCarty was hospitalised for 12 months and remembers this time vividly, including the debridement process of scrubbing off his burned skin, and multiple skin grafts. He said: 'It was absolutely terrifying. I didn't understand anything - all I knew was that when I saw a doctor, I should expect pain. 'I'd be taken out of surgery just long enough to stabilise and then I'd be rushed back in.' Brave: Mr McCarty lost part of his fingers and thumbs in the accident and had to teach himself how to quickly put on his uniform and air tank and properly brace himself with his hip when using a hose . Terry McCarty shows off his nickname 'Char King' which he got tattooed onto his arm . After a year of recovery, he returned to school at the age of eight, where he became the victim of bullies who would call him 'monster', 'toast' and 'Freddy Krueger'. He said: 'The one thing that got me through was the love of my family - especially my brothers, Ryan and Jason. 'There was never any anger between us, and I don't know what I would've done without them.' He and his brothers became inseparable and with their encouragement and support he found the courage to stop hiding himself, and accept the stares and comments. He said: 'The emotional bond we had was vital to my recovery - they did so much for my confidence by just being there.' Apart from the scarring and damage to his hands, he suffered no major health issues as a result of the burns, and quickly adjusted to moving with his tighter skin. He is now focusing on opening his own foundation to fund programmes for children with burns. Although he has no immediate plans to return to firefighting, he hopes his foundation, which will focus on fundraising, will provide the financial support needed for other foundations that offer firefighting experience. Mr McCarty, now of Bellingham, Washington, said: 'Nothing like this programme has been done before. 'It's going to take a lot of work, but being able to support people who suffered like I did will make it all worthwhile.'

Prompt: On the eve of the County Championship season, Charlie Hemphrey has finally secured the professional cricket contract he has been striving for over the past decade. Only it is not with one of the 18 teams that make up our domestic game. For Hemphrey, a 25-year-old former Folkestone grammar school pupil who suffered habitual rejection in his attempts to breakthrough into the English system, has an amazing story to tell, after forging an unlikely first-class career in Australia. It has been an extraordinary journey for Hemphrey from a second XI debut for Kent at 15 to his recent status as the first Englishman to hit a Sheffield Shield hundred since John Hampshire for Tasmania in 1978. That feat was accomplished in Queensland's final match of the 2014-15 season, a victory over South Australia at the Gabba. Charlie Hemphrey during his Kent career (left) and as a youngster for Notts under 11s where he scored his first hundred (right) When he emigrated to Brisbane 18 months ago, he admits his desire for a shot at the top level had regressed into an 'unrealistic dream'. That it became a reality was due to polar opposite experiences to the ones he endured over here. Every time he was faced with a door it opened whereas previously they had slammed in his face. Kent, Derbyshire and Essex all knocked him back. A stunning first season down under – in which he finished third top scorer in Queensland's grade competition – was followed by a state second XI debut last October. The following month he struck 140 out of 297 all out in the first innings of a game against New South Wales. It put him in the frame for higher honours when the Shield season reopened post-Big Bash and a new year injury to Australia batsman Usman Khawaja gave him his chance. On February 7 he pulled on the maroon cap for the first time. James Pattinson dismissed him for a second-ball duck but Queensland – showing numerous changes in the wake of Stuart Law's removal as coach – crushed eventual champions Victoria by an innings. The following week Hemphrey hit 58 and Tasmania were defeated in Hobart by a similar scoreline. Two matches, two victories; the Pom had hit the jackpot. Queensland were not going to change a winning side and that very fact secured his future. Matches 5 . Innings 8 . Not Outs 0 . Runs 310 . Highest Innings Score 118 . Batting Average 38.75 . Balls Faced 809 . Batting Strike Rate 38.31 . 100s 1 . 50s 1 . 4s 37 . 6s 0 . 'The system over here guarantees you a minimum contract if you play three state games,' Hemphrey explained to Sportsmail. 'Cricket Australia upgrade you to a 12-month deal which is about $60,000 (£30,000), so after three games I told work I was leaving. I knew I was going to be paid well and the match payments on top are good at just over $4,500 (£2300).' Hemphrey immediately gave up his early morning job for Virgin at Brisbane Airport, co-ordinating their aircraft loads out on the ramps in sweltering heat. A fortnight later, in his fifth appearance for Queensland, he struck 118 on his adopted home ground. The celebratory removal of his helmet and glance to the heavens at reaching three figures an acknowledgement of his late Belgian grandfather Jim Charlier, who while not a cricket aficionado had witnessed his lowest ebb six years earlier when he made 163 for Kent seconds against MCC Young Cricketers. 'I am not really an extrovert, I keep my emotions fairly intact but what happened when I was released from Kent came back to me. A week after basically being told that I wasn't good enough my granddad came to watch and it was great afterwards listening to him talk about how I'd played from his non-cricket perspective,' Hemphrey explained. 'He passed away last year and so when I got to 100 I looked up and thought about him. I knew how proud he would have been. To me, scoring a first-class hundred in Australia is quite something but he taught me a lot about life, and I have to say I was a lot more nervous when I stood up to speak at his funeral than I was when I was on 97.' Although raised in Kent, Hemphrey was born in Doncaster and Geoffrey Boycott, arguably the greatest Yorkshire batsman of them all, would have doffed his cap at the price he places on his wicket. According to Hemphrey, a combination of leaving outside off-stump and playing the ball late is his modus operandi. 'The one thing I have learned over here is that the best time to bat is in the second half of the day, so getting through the first half has been important. Then I have cashed in.' Hemphrey's rise is all the more remarkable given that the three counties in his first incarnation as a cricketer were at least as interested in his off-spin (he has not bowled this past winter due to a labral tear in his shoulder). At Canterbury, it meant the presence of James Tredwell blocked his path. Although the three South Africans and two Pakistanis in a Kent side that made consecutive Twenty20 finals days in 2008 and 2009, when he held two summer contracts, were probably more to blame for his lack of opportunities. 'The club had other priorities, there was little focus on the second XI,' he says. In contrast, his performances were catching the eyes of Justin Sterns and Trevor Hohns - state coach and convenor of selectors respectively - not long after Australia Twenty20 international Chris Lynn, with whom a friendship developed during a previous three-year stint in Queensland grade cricket, lured him to Toombul. Naturally, there is a tinge of bitterness that his break has come on the other side of the globe: 'I just feel that you can't decide someone's career at the age of 19. It's too early. Different people develop at different rates. Look at Ryan Harris, Nathan Lyon, Jonathan Trott and Kevin Pietersen. Those four all hit their prime in their late twenties.' Not that he completely rules out a return: 'I don't want to close any doors. I am open to anything and at the end of the day cricket is a very short career in the grad scheme of things.' But for now he is running with the Bulls as English cricket's unsung export.

Prompt: Edinson Cavani's slumbering Champions League performance against Barcelona may well have put to bed any chance of him making a switch to Manchester United. The chances of the Uruguayan filling what would appear to be a looming striker void at Old Trafford have always been slim. For a start, at 28 he would appear to be too old for Louis van Gaal, who prefers to work with young talent he can mould into his type of player. Edinson Cavani falls flat on his face during a limp display for PSG against Barcelona on Tuesday night . Manchester United have been linked with Cavani but the striker hasn't impressed this season . Radamel Falcao has struggled at Manchester United after signing on loan from Ligue 1 side Monaco . And the painful, expensive experience of Radamel Falcao's nightmare loan spell will have made the club's Dutch manager wary of seemingly-fading South Americans. But United, who have cash to burn and gaps to fill, will have kept a close eye on Tuesday night's events at the Nou Camp to see if Cavani still had what it takes. On the evidence of a sterile 90 minutes in an inevitable 2-0 defeat he does not. There is mitigation – Barcelona look unstoppable and few in Europe can live with Luis Enrque's resurgent treble hunters. Questions over Cavani's domestic form, however, still linger. France's Ligue 1 is not the Premier League or La Liga and after making the £55m move from Napoli, where he was almost unplayable, Cavani has not been the prolific force officials at Parc des Princes hoped for. This season he has played 32 times in domestic competitions and has scored 11 goals, although six more have come in the Champions League. Louis van Gaal prefers to work with younger players and may have been put off Cavani by Falcao's spell . The Uruguayan hasn't scored as many goals as he should have done in the French league . PSG will now concentrate on winning a two-horse race with Lyon at the top of the table (they are currently level on points with a game in hand) and will look to Cavani along with Zlatan Ibrahimovic to fire them over the line first. Following the 3-1 first leg defeat by Barcelona on home soil the man himself maintained he wants to see out the remainder of his contract in France. 'There is too much talk about my future but I will remain here,' he told Sky Italia. 'I will respect my contract and I'm only focusing on doing well for PSG.' He may have few options to do anything else. Cavani argues with the referee during PSG's 2-0 (5-1 agg) defeat in the Champions League quarter-finals .

Prompt: Tikrit, Iraq (CNN)Mass graves believed to hold Iraqi soldiers have been discovered in newly liberated Tikrit. Up to 1,700 bodies may be recovered. ISIS claimed to have executed that many soldiers captured in June outside Camp Speicher, a fortified Iraqi base near Tikrit. A total of 47 bodies have been exhumed from two of the 11 mass graves discovered in Tikrit, an Iraqi government official said Tuesday. Hundreds are believed to have been executed by ISIS in June 2014 . Grieving Iraqis, apparently not related to the soldiers, gathered to pray over the bodies. When the first three bodies were found, 10 Iraqi soldiers saluted the dead by firing seven shots into the air. The national anthem was played while soldiers wept. All the bodies were decomposed. Some had their hands bound, Damon said. The remains will be sent back to Baghdad for DNA tests to establish identify, said Ali Tahir, a director in the Iraqi morgue who was supervising the digging and extraction. Damon said there may be eight mass graves inside the presidential palace complex, which contains the residences of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, and two other sites outside the city. The presidential palaces complex became ISIS headquarters after the militants occupied the city. Iraqi soldiers and Shiite militias retook Tikrit a few days ago after a fierce battle. Damon interviewed a soldier who said he survived the massacre by playing dead. The solider said ISIS captured the troops outside Camp Speicher and marched them to the presidential palace complex, telling them they would be safe until a prisoner swap was arranged. Once inside the compound, the soldiers were separated into smaller groups, executed and buried in mass graves, the survivor told Damon. He said he was tossed into a river and floated to an embankment. On Monday, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said revenge is not the way to deal with the discovery of the bodies. He said several people involved in the killings have been detained. Families of the missing soldiers had been demanding answers from the Iraqi government about what happened. As ISIS swept through northern Iraq in June, some military units were ordered to Camp Speicher. Their families claim the men received orders from their commanders to leave the base and move closer to Baghdad. They left unarmed and in civilian clothes, they say. Military commanders and the Iraqi Defense Ministry denied any such orders being issued and said the men deserted. ISIS released videos that showed what seemed to be an endless line of military recruits marched at gunpoint and later posted images showing cold-blooded mass killings. Damon said Iraqi officials told her it may take weeks or months to exhume all the bodies. Human Rights Watch described the "Speicher Massacre" -- as it has been dubbed in Iraq -- as the "largest reported incident" where "ISIS captured more than 1,000 soldiers fleeing Camp Speicher ... then summarily executed at least 800 of them." Based on satellite imagery and witness testimony, Human Rights Watch last year was able to identity a number of mass grave sites inside Tikrit and the presidential palace complex. The families gave DNA samples to the Iraqi Ministry of Health last year so authorities would be able to match them to unidentified bodies the government may find. CNN's Arwa Damon reported from Tikrit, and Ralph Ellis wrote in Atlanta. CNN's Jomana Karadsheh contributed to this report.

Prompt: California Gov. Jerry Brown ordered state officials to impose mandatory water restrictions for the first time in history on Wednesday, as the state continues to grapple with a serious drought. Brown said Wednesday that he had signed an executive order requiring the State Water Resources Control Board to implement measures in cities and towns to cut water usage by 25 percent compared with 2013 levels. California has been in a drought for four years. 'We're in a historic drought and that demands unprecedented action,' Brown at a news conference held at Echo Summit in the Sierra Nevada.  'We have to pull together and save water in every way we can.' Scroll down for video . Changes: California Gov. Jerry Brown, speaking at the podium, ordered state officials to impose mandatory water restrictions for the first time in history on Wednesday . Test: Frank Gehrke, left, chief of the California Cooperative Snow Surveys Program for the Department of Water Resources, points to a mark on the snow pack measuring pole that was the lowest previous snow pack level as  Gov. Brown, center, and Mark Cowin, director of the Department of Water Resources, right, look on . State water officials found no snow on the ground at the site for their manual survey of the snowpack. Brown's order will require campuses, golf courses, cemeteries and other large landscapes to significantly cut water use; direct local governments to replace 50 million square feet of lawns throughout the state with drought-tolerant landscaping; and create a temporary rebate program for consumers who replace old water-sucking appliances with more efficient ones. The move will affect residents, businesses, farmers and other users. CBS News quoted Brown as saying 'People should realize we're in a new era. The idea of your nice little green grass getting lots of water every day, that's going to be a thing of the past. 'We're not going to change everything overnight but we are in a transition period. People have to realize that in many parts of California, they are living in a desert.' The order calls on local water agencies to implement tiered water pricing that charges higher rates as more water is used and requires agricultural users to report more water use information to state regulators. Brown's office said that would boost the state's ability to enforce laws against illegal water diversions and water waste. The order also prohibits new homes and developments from using drinkable water for irrigation if the structures lack water-efficient drip systems. In addition, the watering of decorative grasses on public street medians is banned. The snowpack has been in decline all year, with electronic measurements in March showing the statewide snow water equivalent at 19 percent of the historical average for that date.

A higher snowpack translates to more water in California reservoirs to meet demand in summer and fall (January 2015 file photo) Snow supplies about a third of the state's water. A higher snowpack translates to more water in California reservoirs to meet demand in summer and fall. There was no snow at the site of Wednesday's survey near Echo Summit, about 90 miles east of Sacramento. 'It is such an unprecedented lack of snow, it is way, way below records,' said Frank Gehrke, chief of snow surveys for the California Department of Water Resources. Officials say the snowpack is far below the historic lows of 1977 and 2014, when it was 25 percent of normal on April 1 - the time when the snowpack is generally at its peak. Brown previously declared a drought emergency in January 2014 and stressed the need for sustained water conservation. 'I've declared this emergency and I’m calling all Californians to conserve water in every way possible,' he said in statement at the time. But he has come under increasing pressure to be more aggressive as the state enters its fourth year of drought. Per CBS News, Brown said Wednesday 'We are embarking on an experiment that no one has ever tried, ever, in the history of mankind. And that is 38 million people with 32 million vehicles living at the level of comfort that we all strive to attain.'
