Prompt: Untrained home carers are putting the elderly and disabled ‘at risk of serious harm’ while giving medication, performing intimate procedures and looking after patients with dementia, warns a survey today. Care staff say they are increasingly being asked to perform tasks previously only carried out by nurses. These include changing catheter and colostomy bags, feeding through a tube and even administering morphine. 'Frankly terrifying': Care staff (not pictured, file image) say they are increasingly being asked to perform tasks previously only carried out by nurses. These include changing colostomy bags and administering morphine . The worrying conclusions come in a survey of 1,000 workers employed by councils and private firms by trade union Unison. Almost a quarter – 24 per cent –giving medication such as morphine and insulin had received no training while 27 per cent said they were not trained in working with dementia patients. More than three-quarters asked for more training to cope with the extra procedures but only 49 per cent had received any. Caroline Abrahams, charity director at Age UK, said: ‘The idea that untrained care workers are administering drugs like morphine is frankly terrifying. ‘It is no exaggeration to say that frail older people are being put at risk of serious harm or worse.’ George McNamara, of the Alzheimer’s Society, added: ‘Two-thirds of people with dementia live in the community and it is a disgrace that these people are being let down so profoundly. Survey findings: Almost a quarter giving medication such as morphine or insulin had received no training . ‘It can also have devastating consequences if care workers don’t have enough training to be able to appropriately communicate – with people with dementia often ending up in hospital as a result.’ Dot Gibson, general secretary of the National Pensioners Convention, said: ‘This is further evidence of how our care system is in crisis.’ Other findings include that more than half of home carers have not been shown how to care for people with colostomy bags and 45 per cent have not been trained to change a catheter bag. Nearly four in ten had not been shown how to carry out peg feeding, where food is inserted directly into the stomach via a tube. One female home care worker in south-east England said: ‘I see clients with dementia despite having never had any training. ‘When administering medicine, you often have to phone the office to ask what to do.’ A Midlands-based male worker reported: ‘I’ve been a care worker for almost 20 years and received formal qualifications working for other companies in the past. ‘Now, there are people who have never been trained. ‘They are just sent out with another carer to show them how things are done.’ Unison general secretary Dave Prentis said: ‘If homecare workers aren’t receiving adequate training, there could be fatal consequences.’ The UK Homecare Association, which represents firms running services for councils, admits workers are ‘often called upon to undertake roles previously undertaken by registered nurses’. It blames spending cuts, forcing its members to do more with less money. A spokesman said it had ‘repeatedly drawn attention to the risks posed by a grossly-under-funded care system’.

A recent survey of 1,000 home carers in the UK found that many are not receiving adequate training to perform tasks such as administering medication, changing catheter and colostomy bags, and caring for people with dementia. The survey, conducted by trade union Unison, revealed that:

* Almost a quarter (24%) of home carers had received no training in administering medication, including morphine and insulin.
* 27% of home carers had not received any training in working with dementia patients.
* More than three-quarters (76%) of home carers asked for more training to cope with the extra procedures, but only

Prompt: A husband accused of trying to murder his cheating wife was ready to let her have sex with another man once a month as long as she stayed with him, his trial heard yesterday. A close friend told how Joseph O’Riordan, 74, had confided in him about the extraordinary plan for his 47-year-old wife Mandy. O’Riordan, a councillor and former nightclub owner, stabbed her eight times in a jealous rage after finding out she had been having an affair with a postman. Extraordinary deal: Joseph O'Riordan stabbed his wife of ten years Amanda (left) with a seven inch kitchen knife eight times - yesterday Brighton Crown Court heard he was considering allowing her to have affairs . She suffered life-threatening injuries after being knifed in the torso, chest, arms and back. The jury was also shown dramatic footage of the moment police arrived at the couple’s home to be greeted by a ‘calm’ O’Riordan opening the door. The revelation of his proposal for keeping his wife of ten years came from Alfred Harris. He told how O’Riordan had confided five days before the attack that he believed she was having an affair. O’Riordan was ‘choked up and emotional’ when he said: ‘I think Amanda is playing away. She’s getting her nails and hair done more regularly, she’s been on a diet and doesn’t want sex.’ Asking for a suit: O'Riordan sent his wife this letter from his prison cell . The following day, added Mr Harris, the men met for a pub lunch in O’Riordan’s home village of Polegate, East Sussex. ‘I saw Joe and he told me that Amanda had been seeing someone else – a guy who drove a van. Joe said he loved Amanda to bits and if she wanted to have sex with someone else once a month that would be okay as long as she stayed with him.’ In a statement read to Brighton Crown Court, Mr Harris also described the couple as ‘loving and close’. He was ‘so shocked’ to learn that O’Riordan had attacked his wife at their flat on a residential care home estate. The jury saw images of four police officers, one of whom was wearing a lapel camera, arriving shortly before 10pm last October 22 after racing to the scene. PC Dave Catt said they drew their ‘incapacitating’ sprays fearing the knifeman would be still holding his weapon. They were greeted by O’Riordan wearing a blood-spattered light blue shirt and holding a cordless phone on which he had phoned for an ambulance. Mr Catt said O’Riordan admitted: ‘I found out that she was having an affair and I lost it.’ Mrs O’Riordan was moaning and lying on a bed, holding a towel to her stomach with a deep chest wound and serious wounds to her hand and back. Paramedics arrived moments later and took her to hospital. Jurors looked at two screens as images of her husband’s arrest and subsequent detention at a police station were shown. Growing suspicion: Giving evidence yesterday Alfred Harris – a friend of the couple for more than six years – told how O’Riordan had confided in him that he believed his wife was having an affair . Yesterday, jurors at Brighton Crown Court (above) were shown dramatic footage of the moment police arrived at the couple’s home to be greeted by a ‘calm’ Mr O’Riordan opening the door . PC Stuart Kenway told how, as O’Riordan had opened the door, he ‘appeared calm and composed and the situation was surreal’ as he then said: ‘She is in the bedroom – do you want the knife?’ Officers were directed to a 7in blade with a black handle which was in the kitchen. Dr Stephen Drage, an intensive care consultant with Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals, told the jury how seriously Mrs O’Riordan was hurt. ‘It is quite clear she was bleeding to death,’ he said. ‘She underwent life-saving surgery which took six hours.’ O’Riordan denies attempted murder. The trial continues. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Prompt: France today voted to punish anyone who 'incites' people to become dangerously thin with prison  and huge fines. In a drastic step which will be studied closely in Britain, MPs particularly highlighted the irresponsibility of fashion websites which encourage women to keep their weight as low as possible. Now these ‘pro-anorexia’ sites will face a year in prison and a fine equivalent to just over £7,000. Deputies in the National Assembly in Paris voted through the amendment to a law on public health and it is expected to be rubber-stamped by the Senate. Scroll down for video . Unhealthy: French MPs have voted to punish anyone who 'incites' people to become dangerously thin with a year in prison and fines of up to £7,000 weeks after rejecting  a ban on super-skinny models . It singled out those who 'provoke people to excessive thinness by encouraging prolonged dietary restrictions that could expose them to a danger of death, or directly impair their health.' Around 40,000 people suffer from anorexia in France, the vast majority women and teenage girls. Maud Olivier and Catherine Coutelle, the MPs who proposed the law, said in a joint statement that 'certain sites known as pro-Ana can push people into a vicious circle of anorexia and authorities cannot do anything about it.' They said the new law was not designed to threaten 'freedom of expression on the Internet', but was a long overdue health reform. Anorexia has one of the highest mortality rates of a psychiatric disorder and is extremely difficult to treat. In March, MPs in France rejected a proposal that would have seen ultra-slim models banned from the fashion runways. However, the MP behind the planned law has vowed the fight is not over. At the time, Olivier Veran said: 'I believe that models should eat well and look after their health. French socialist politician Olivier Veran (pictured) has vowed to continue the fight to ban ultra-thin models from the catwalk in France . 'This is an important message to young women who see these models as an aesthetic example'. He also proposed a new law that punish the 'glorification of anorexia', especially online. France's National Union of Modelling Agencies (SYNAM), has complained that new laws could harm the competitiveness of French modelling. A SYNAM statement read: 'French modelling agencies are in permanent competition with their European counterparts. As a result, a European approach is needed.' The French legislation comes after countries including Spain, Italy and Brazil have all clamped down on skinny models at catwalk shows. Spain has barred models below a certain body mass index from the Madrid fashion shows, while Italy has insisted on health certificates for fashion show participants. And Brazil is considering demands to ban underage, underweight models from its catwalks. Medical experts around the world have warned against the dangers of ultra-skinny catwalk models, and images airbrushed to make girls look thinner, which they say encourage anorexia in girls as young as six. Fashion guru Giorgio Armani said recently that the fashion industry had a duty to 'work together against anorexia'. He added: "The industry has to recognise the link between its preference for abnormally thin models and the growth in eating disorders among young women.' French restaurants are to be banned from offering free fizzy drinks refills to customers. MPs in the National Assembly voted to back the measure, which is aimed at cutting down on obesity. The ban applies to all fizzy drinks sold in places open to the public, whether they are fast food chains, bars, cafés or conventional restaurants. The amendment to a health bill written by UDI MP Arnaud Richard reads: ‘It is the role of the law to fix a framework to protect the population against commercial competition which aims to make something free to entice customers and encourage them to consume unhealthy products excessively.’ It has won the backing of Health Minister Marisol Touraine, and public health campaigners worried about increasing obesity in France. Ms Touraine said: ‘This habit is common in other countries and it is increasingly taking hold in France.' Free refills are the norm in most American restaurants, and were were introduced by Quick, one of France’s most popular fast-food chains, last year. Customers are given an empty cup with their food and they are then free to serve themselves from the soda fountains. Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants also introduced the marketing ploy.

Prompt: A holidaymaker still has sickness issues, nine months after he first contracted food poisoning on holiday in Egypt. James Houlder and his girlfriend, Vicki Hood, had saved up for months for the sunshine break at the Sonesta Beach Resort in Sharm El Sheikh. But within just hours of arriving at the First Choice resort, which is described as five-star on its website, the couple say they became violently ill with sickness and diarrhoea and were barely able to leave their room. James Houlder fell ill while on holiday with his partner Vicki Hood last summer at the Sonesta Beach Resort in Sharm El Sheikh, and is still suffering nine months on . James, 30, who works for a publishing company, has since developed Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a digestive complaint which he admits can leave him in crippling pain with him sometimes needing the toilet several times an hour. Vicki, 22, claims she too has been plagued by sickness including a kidney infection. The couple, who live just outside Norwich, had booked the break last summer and envisaged 10 days sunning themselves on the beach and scuba diving in the famous Red Sea. But instead James said: 'On the first night we got there in time for the end of dinner and that's where it all started to go wrong. The next morning, after breakfast, we started to become violently ill. We had to take it in turns to use the bathroom. 'When we finally felt better a few days later we decided to eat at one of the resort's a la carte restaurants. We thought it would be safer than the buffet but it just made us ill all over again. Mr Houlder took a photo of a piece of mouldy bread while he was on holiday in Sharm El Sheikh . 'We were both so ill we were crying. It was dreadful, the worst holiday ever. 'The rooms were dated and dirty and the staff were rude. 'It was like a holiday coming home.' James claims they asked to get earlier return flights but were told it would cost them hundreds of pounds. After investing around £1,500 already in the all-inclusive deal, he says they were forced to sit it out in the blistering heat. And once at home James told how the health problems continued with IBS still causing him to take time off or away from work nine months on. He said: 'It's sporadic, it's not something that happens all the time, but equally it can come on without warning. One minute I'm fine and the next I can be in agony. 'The other day I had to stop twice on the way to work to go to the toilet and it's only a 20-minute drive. 'I've been in situations where I've been going many times an hour and trying to hide it. It's awful and embarrassing.' James says he was offered a £50 'goodwill voucher' but no apology from First Choice and has now instructed law firm Slater and Gordon to launch a civil case against the travel company, part of the TUI Group. A spokesperson for First Choice told MailOnline Travel: 'First Choice is sorry to hear of the couple’s experience during their holiday in Egypt. 'Our ultimate priority is the health, safety and comfort of all our customers and we operate stringent health and hygiene procedures in line with industry standards. 'As this case is now subject to legal proceedings it would be inappropriate for us to comment further.' The Sonesta Beach Resort in Sharm El Sheikh will provide bad memories for James Houlder . Richard Duxbury, a specialist travel lawyer from Slater and Gordon, representing Mr Houlder, said: 'Mr Houlder and his partner paid a substantial amount of money to go on what they thought would be a relaxing getaway. 'Instead the holiday was ruined by entirely unacceptable hygiene standards which have left both of them still suffering the effects several months after returning home.' MailOnline Travel has also contacted Sonesta Beach Resort, and is awaiting a response. James Houlder says numerous meals at the Sonesta Beach Resort made him and his partner sick . Alex Comley fell ill during a family holiday to the Sonesta Beach Resort in Egypt . EasyJet pilot Alex Comley, 33, from Bracknell, Berks, booked a 10-day break to Sonesta Beach Resort in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt last July with tour operator Thomson Holidays with his wife Louise, 36, and two-year-old son Sebastian. However, the all-inclusive trip, which cost nearly £2,000, was ruined only four days after they arrived when Alex was struck down by Salmonella at their four-star resort. He claims his illness became so serious that after returning home he needed medical treatment and was unable to return to work for EasyJet for more than a month. He said: 'We were all very excited about the trip abroad as it was the first family holiday since my son Sebastian was born. 'We had planned on doing so many 'firsts' and really wanted Sebastian to have a wonderful time on his holiday and enjoy spending some real quality time together as a family. However the holiday turned into a nightmare.' On the fourth day he woke up with crippling stomach pains and was in agony for the rest of the holiday, suffering with vomiting and diarrhoea. 'I have never been so unwell. I couldn't be away from the toilet for any extended periods as I was so ill so I was basically trapped in a hotel room for nearly the entire time. 'I had only eaten in the hotel as it was an all-inclusive holiday, so I must have eaten something there to cause the problems.' An appointment with the doctor on his return home apparently confirmed that he had contracted a serious strain of salmonella food poisoning and couldn't return to his job for more than four weeks. Alex, who says he hasn't received an apology from the firm, has instructed law firm Slater & Gordon to launch a legal case against Thomson Holidays. The case is ongoing. In a statement, Thomson Holidays said: 'We are sorry to hear of Mr Comley's experience during his trip to Egypt. As this case is now subject to legal proceedings it would be inappropriate for us to comment further. 'The ultimate priority for Thomson is the health, safety and comfort of all our customers. We operate stringent health and hygiene procedures in line with industry standards.'

However, the all-inclusive trip, which cost nearly £2,000, was ruined only four days after they arrived when Alex was struck down by Salmonella at their four-star resort. He claims his illness became so serious that after returning home he needed medical treatment and was unable to return to work for EasyJet for more than a month. He said: 'We were all very excited about the trip abroad as it was the first family holiday since my son Sebastian was born. 'We had planned on doing so many 'firsts' and really wanted Sebastian to have a wonderful time on his holiday and enjoy spending some real quality time together as a family. However the holiday turned into a nightmare.' On the fourth day he woke up with crippling stomach pains and was in agony for the rest of the holiday, suffering with vomiting and diarrhoea. 'I have never been so unwell. I couldn't be away from the toilet for any extended periods as I was so ill so I was basically trapped in a hotel room for nearly the entire time. 'I had only eaten in the hotel as it was an all-inclusive holiday, so I must have eaten something there to cause the problems.' An appointment with the doctor on his return home apparently confirmed that he had contracted a serious strain of salmonella food poisoning and couldn't return to his job for more than four weeks. Alex, who says he hasn't received an apology from the firm, has instructed law firm Slater & Gordon to launch a legal case against Thomson Holidays. The case is ongoing. In a statement, Thomson Holidays said: 'We are sorry to hear of Mr Comley's experience during his trip to Egypt. As this case is now subject to legal proceedings it would be inappropriate for us to comment further. 'The ultimate priority for Thomson is the health, safety and comfort of all our customers. We operate stringent health and hygiene procedures in line with industry standards.'

Prompt: Blogger: Lisa is the author of Canadian Expat Mom . When Canadian expat Lisa Webb first sent her vegetable-phobic three-year-old to school in France, she feared her daughter would starve during the day. The former assistant elementary school principal, who moved to France in 2009, was shocked to find rôti de boeuf and cordon bleu de dinde on the menu for toddlers - dishes she was used to eating in fancy restaurants with her husband. But when offered the chance to sit in on her eldest daughter's lunch breaks for one week, she witnessed tots using 'grown-up knives and forks' and eating everything put in front of them. In her native Canada, children would sit on the floor in the gym to eat their lunch. They were given 20 minutes to wolf down whatever their parents had packed for them and 20 minutes to play. In 2009, Lisa and her husband made the move to France and she began working as a substitute teacher in Paris. Writing in her blog - Canadian Expat Mom - the 34-year-old said: 'I’ll never forget dreading the fact that I was on lunchtime supervision because I saw that fish was on the menu that day. 'I had been a teacher for long enough to know that there was going to be a lot of elementary school kids plugging their noses and telling me they didn’t like fish. This was going to be a long supervision period.' But those children proved her wrong - they didn't turn up their noses and even asked for seconds. Scroll down for video . Speaking to MailOnline from her home in the Aquitaine region of southern France, she said: 'That's when I first encountered kids eating whatever was being put in front of them. 'I was shocked because it wasn't necessarily what I wanted to eat.' Fast forward five years to 2014, and Lisa had her own daughter to get ready for her first day at school. At three years old, she enjoyed a healthy continental diet but refused to eat vegetables.

'Initially I think that we did give her everything, we eat very healthily as a family,' Lisa explained. 'Even if we wanted to give our kids fast food it doesn't really exist. Fast food for us is grabbing a baguette and a chunk of cheese. 'She ate everything but vegetables - foie gras, saucisson, lapin (rabbit). At home I stopped offering her broccoli because I didn't like wasting food. 'I was a little bit nervous. I thought "there is no way she can stay at school, she will be starving".' Writing in her blog, she added: 'Each week I would head over to the bulletin board posted outside the school and check what they were eating for lunch. There wasn’t a burger and fries or chicken finger to be seen on the list. 'It all sounded so fancy. Was Julia Child working in the kitchen? How were they serving this to three-year-olds? Did they have a magic wand to get these kids to eat this very grown up list of food? 'Whenever I would come across the ladies that worked in the lunchroom, I would stare in disbelief as they would tell me what a good eater my daughter was. 'Were they sure they had the right kid? Because mine would barely touch a vegetable at home. Yet, she wasn’t coming home hungry, so she must have been eating something.' 'There’s no plastic cutlery or non-breakable plates,' Lisa wrote. 'The kids are served their meal at the table, not buffet style' When the opportunity arose to spend a week in the canteen at lunchtime, where there is a constantly changing menu of salads, seasonal vegetables, meats and fish, the mum-of-two jumped at the chance.

Prompt: Goggles that could help the blind see have come a step closer to reality. The technology is based on a technique known as 'neuromodulation' in which electricity from a chip stimulates the nervous system to restore sight. The revolutionary system is being commercialised by French company Pixium Vision, with clinical trials scheduled for 2016. Scroll down for video . Goggles that could help the blind see have come a step closer to reality. The technology is based on a technique known as 'neuromodulation' in which electricity stimulates the nervous system to restore sight. A surgeon first implants a small silicon chip with 150 electrodes on the retina. When the patient puts on the system's dark glasses, an integrated video camera sends images to a portable computer. A connected 'pocket processor' converts that recording into an infrared image, which the goggles will then beam into the eye. Pulses activate electrodes in the implant, and the optic nerve carries images to the brain. Retinal implants that restore some sight when in the blind are already available, but their quality isn't good enough to work in many real-world conditions. Pixium Vision's solution, however, claims it has been able to restore the sight of rats to a level equivalent to 20/250. This would allow the wearer to see the largest line of letters in an opticians test. The company claims it may be able to get its final product to restore vision to 20/120, which would be a huge leap forward in vision quality. Second Sight, the company that got FDA approval for the first visual prosthesis two years ago, currently offers patients about 20/1300 vision. To use the gadget a surgeon must first implant a small silicon chip with 150 electrodes on the retina.

A connected 'pocket processor' converts that recording into an infrared image, which the goggles will then beam into the eye. Pulses activate the electrodes in the implant, and the optic nerve carries the images back to the brain. Following surgery, patients have to train their brains to interpret the new images, which are seen in variations of back, white and grey. A small pilot program to test the system is already underway, with promising results. 'We don't give them back their sight, but another way of seeing,' Yannick Le Mer, the surgeon who implanted the system in three of Pixium's test subjects told Forbes. A new trial of the system is due to begin next year by Australia’s Bionic Vision. The cost for the system is expected to be around 100,000 euros (£72,000 or $111,200), plus surgery.

Goggles that could help the blind see have come a step closer to reality. The technology is based on a technique known as 'neuromodulation' in which electricity stimulates the nervous system to restore sight. A surgeon first implants a small silicon chip with 150 electrodes on the retina. When the patient puts on the system's dark glasses, an integrated video camera sends images to a portable computer. A connected 'pocket processor' converts that recording into an infrared image, which the goggles will then beam into the eye. Pulses activate electrodes in the implant, and the optic nerve carries images to the brain. Retinal implants that restore some sight when in the blind are already available, but their quality isn't good enough to work in many real-world conditions. Pixium Vision's solution, however, claims it has been able to restore the sight of rats to a level equivalent to 20/250. This would allow the wearer to see the largest line of letters in an opticians test. The company claims it may be able to get its final product to restore vision to 20/120, which would be a huge leap forward in vision quality. Second Sight, the company that got FDA approval for the first visual prosthesis two years ago, currently offers patients about 20/1300 vision. To use the gadget a surgeon must first implant a small silicon chip with 150 electrodes on the retina.

A small pilot program to test the system is already underway, with promising results. 'We don't give them back their sight, but another way of seeing,' Yannick Le Mer, the surgeon who implanted the system in three of Pixium's test subjects told Forbes.

A French company, Pixium Vision, has made significant progress in developing a technology that could help the blind see. The technology, called 'neuromodulation,' uses a chip implanted in the retina to stimulate the nervous system and restore vision. The system has been tested on rats, with promising results, and is expected to be ready for human trials in the near future.

The system works by sending images from a portable computer to a connected 'pocket processor' in the goggles, which then convert the images into infrared light that is beamed into the eye. The optic nerve carries the images back to the brain, where they are

Prompt: A Kansas mother who uses marijuana to treat a debilitating disease is now fighting for custody of her child after the 11-year-old boy disagreed with an anti-drug presentation at his school. Shona Banda, 37, who published a book about how she uses a liquid form of cannabis as therapy for Crohn's disease, has a custody hearing Monday in Garden City, Kansas. Her boy was taken by authorities on March 24 after officials at his school reported comments he made about marijuana to child protection services. Medical marijuana activist Shona Banda, 37, is fighting for custody of her 11-year-old son after his comments about marijuana at a school presentation prompted police to search her home . The Department of Children and Families in the small Midwestern town then contacted police who went to Banda's home, according to the Garden City Telegram. She did not give authorities consent to search her home, but they returned several hours later with a warrant and discovered marijuana in plant, oil, joint, gel and capsule form along with  paraphernalia for the drug. Two ounces of cannabis in plant form and one ounce of oil were reportedly seized. Video supposedly of the incident posted on Youtube shows officers arriving at Banda's house without a warrant, standing in her backyard and refusing to let the woman enter her house for fear that she could disturb evidence. 'It is not public property, you don’t have a warrant,' Banda is heard telling the police of her backyard, but a sergeant responds that it 'doesn’t matter'. The boy was given temporarily to his father, who is separated from Banda, but returned to state custody on Thursday ahead of the hearing. No charges have yet been filed against the mother. Banda  wrote a book that detailed how she used cannabis oil to treat her debilitating Crohn's disease . Police asked to enter the activist's house (pictured), but she denied them entry until they arrived with a warrant . 'For him to have spoken up in class I can’t be upset about because he hears me daily on the phone talking with people, encouraging people to speak up and speak out,' she told Ben Swann of her son. 'My son says different things like, ‘My mom calls it cannabis and not marijuana,’ Banda said. The mother, who was diagnosed with the inflammatory bowel disease Crohn's in the early 2000s, said that she had been losing weight and was 'on her death bed' before she began using cannabis oil in 2009. Crohn's, where the body's immune system attacks the gastrointestinal system,  causes pain, diarrhea, menstrual problems, lack of appetite and fatigue. Banda said that the marijuana worked much better than any medicines that had been prescribed for her and she was soon able to walk without a cane, she said in a YouTube video. She says that her son was pulled out of school and interrogated by police without her. A Go Fund Me page has raised more than $20,000 for Banda's legal defense. Supporters plan on rallying outside the courthouse when the author goes in for her custody hearing on Monday. Video posted on YouTube shows the officers standing in her backyard (left) and denying Banda entry into her home (right) because she may have disturbed evidence . Banda says that her 11-year-old was pulled out of school (pictured) and questioned by police after his statements . Possession of any amount of marijuana is illegal in Kansas and can land offenders with up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Repeat offenses are a felony and can lead to up to three and a half years behind bars, according to the Marijuana Policy Project. Banda and her son had previously lived in Colorado, where marijuana is legal for recreational use, roughly one hour driving from Garden City. A medical marijuana bill that would allow some patients to use cannabis oil was in the process of going through the Kansas state legislature earlier this year, according to the Kansas City Star. Twenty-four states have laws allowing medical marijuana, while four and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational use by adults.

Prompt: Abandoned, rusting and desolate, the hulking remnants of these old bangers have been claimed by nature. German photographer Dieter Klein travelled the world to find vintage cars left to crumble in leafy forests and fields. He came across a range of mysterious graveyards hosting all sorts of vehicles, including a rare Jaguar XK120, which, if restored, could be worth £82,000, and a fleet of vehicles used by the Allies in the Second World War. Many of the cars, often with doors, tires or windows missing, are parked on forest floors where nature has taken them over. Dieter, 57, from Cologne, first came across a Citroen truck that had been dumped in a bush six years ago. After witnessing how the foliage had grown in and around the man-made machine, he was hooked and began to track down other unusual resting places.
