By . John Stevens . The BBC bill for first and business class flights soared by more than 40 per cent to £1.3million last year, despite its pledges to cut costs. Staff spent more than £3,500 a day on the most expensive fares as they jetted around the world in luxury. The BBC promised a new era of cost-cutting, but has admitted paying £1,278,618 for 950 business and first class tickets in 2013/4 – 46 per cent up on the previous year. Big spenders: The BBC spent almost £1.3million on 950 flights last year and refused to reveal details of 9,000 more . But the figures, revealed under the Freedom of Information Act, include only flights bought using the corporation’s central booking system. The BBC refused to give details of the . 9,000 flights booked in the last two years via external travel agents, . used for major sporting events. Tony Hall vowed to find cost savings of £100million a year when he joined the Corporation last year . Under BBC guidelines, employees are told to use the lowest cost means of transport and use video conferences instead of face-to-face meetings where possible. Travelling any class other than economy is allowed only under ‘exceptional circumstances’ for journeys over four hours and where it saves money on baggage. When director-general Tony Hall was appointed last year, he said the BBC would have to find further cost savings of £100million a year. He has warned ‘tough choices lie ahead’ in the run-up to the renewal of its royal charter at the end of 2016. But last night the BBC was accused of being frivolous with licence fee payers’ cash. Tory MP Andrew Bridgen said: ‘This only reinforces what the vast majority of people know – the BBC are out of touch.’ Andy Silvester of the Taxpayers’ Alliance said: ‘It’s outrageous that BBC employees, paid for by the licence fee, are racking up huge bills living the high life at our expense.’ A BBC spokesman said: ‘Some element of travel is inevitable if the BBC is to cover global news events and deliver programmes from around the world. 'An upgraded flight with additional baggage capacity for bulky camera equipment can often cost less than a standard fare with excess baggage charges.’

(CNN) -- A Texas woman accused of killing her toddler daughter and dumping the body in Galveston Bay has been found guilty of murder by a jury in Galveston, Texas. Kimberly Dawn Trenor received a life sentence without possibility of parole in the murder of her daughter. Kimberly Dawn Trenor, 20, showed no emotion as the verdict was read late Monday. Trenor had pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence in the case, but pleaded not guilty to the capital murder charge. She received a life sentence without the possibility of parole. The body of Trenor's daughter, Riley Ann Sawyers, was found in October 2007 in a large blue plastic container on an uninhabited island in Galveston Bay. Two-year-old Riley Ann's case drew national attention after a fisherman found her body. Authorities didn't know her identity, and police dubbed her "Baby Grace." After authorities distributed composite sketches of the girl nationwide, Sheryl Sawyers, the girl's paternal grandmother, contacted police from her Ohio home to say the drawing resembled her granddaughter. DNA testing confirmed the child's identity. According to an affidavit, Trenor told police Riley had been beaten and thrown across a room and that her head was held under water before she died on July 24, 2007. Another piece of evidence shown to the jury during the trial was a page of Trenor's journal where she talked of beating the child, according to CNN affiliate KTRK. "I just kept hitting her with the belt again and again. I don't know how long, but I remember her trying to get away and me knocking her back down," the journal said. Trenor's husband, Royce Clyde Zeigler II, 25, also faces capital murder and evidence tampering charges, but is being tried separately. A court date has not been set in that case.

By . Andy Dolan . Warning: Sean Cawthray, 41, is being hunted by police after walking out of an open jail . A sex attacker is being hunted by police after vanishing from a notorious open prison. Sean Cawthray, 41, was locked up indefinitely in 2002 after attempting to kidnap a 14-year-old girl at a bus stop. He had previously served two jail terms for rape. Yet he was sent to the low-security prison HMP Leyhill in Gloucestershire, a category D prison for ‘low-risk’ inmates. Cawthray was seen in the prison at 5.30pm on Sunday. He is thought to have left at some point during the following three hours. Police yesterday admitted the rapist was a ‘potential risk’ and warned members of the public not to approach him, but to dial 999 immediately. A police spokesman said: ‘Officers work closely with HMP Leyhill and other police forces to track down absconders promptly and keep any potential risk to the public to a minimum.’ Cawthray was jailed for four years in 1990  for rape and attempted rape, and for a  second time for eight years in 1993, after a further rape conviction. He was then given an indeterminate sentence at Leeds Crown Court in December 2002 for attempted kidnap. He accosted his teenage victim in a bus shelter in the village of Kippax, east of the city, and dragged her by the hair into an alley as passers-by looked on. The court heard the kidnap attempt was foiled by seven-year-old Harvey Jordan, who was playing in a nearby garden and shouted to his grandfather upon hearing the teenager’s stifled screams. The grandfather, Edmund Wheeler, shouted at Cawthray who let the girl go and ran off. He was arrested within an hour. Missing: Cawthray was last seen at Leyhill Open Prison in south Gloucestershire at 5.30pm on Sunday and is believed to have left the unit before 8.30pm . Cawthray, who was living in Leicester . at the time, had grown up in Leeds and was visiting childhood haunts . when he pounced on the girl. He told police he did not know what he . planned to do with the victim. Judge James Spencer QC imposed an . indeterminate sentence with a minimum recommendation of five years . because of the ‘level of risk posed to young women’. He was told he would not be released until it was satisfied he no longer posed a risk, and would then be on licence for life. Leyhill, a minimum-security jail at . Wootton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, was built as a US military hospital . in the Second World War, and was converted into a prison in 1946. It . was once dubbed ‘The Savoy of Slammers’ for its cushy regime. It houses 508 inmates deemed to have . made progress at more secure institutions or who are approaching the end . of their sentences. It has no perimeter fence and hundreds of inmates . have walked out over the past 15 years. Police believe Cawthray may have . travelled back to Leicestershire and Leeds following his escape. He is . 5ft 10in tall and of medium build, with short brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing silver trainers, cream combat trousers and a . light blue top.

By . Francesca Infante . PUBLISHED: . 15:59 EST, 14 November 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 15:59 EST, 14 November 2013 . A convicted killer who allegedly murdered and mutilated a teenage girl was arrested 30 years later after his 'terrible secret' was discovered following a DNA match, a court has heard. Colin Campbell, 66, who is already serving a life sentence for the manslaughter of Deirdre Sainsbury, denies murdering Claire Woolterton in August 1981. The 17-year-old’s naked body was found one morning on the promenade by the River Thames on Barry Avenue in Windsor, Berkshire, by a man on his way to work. Killer: Colin Campbell pictured by police in 1981 is already serving a life sentence for the manslaughter of Deirdre Sainsbury but denies murdering Claire . Victims: Deirdre Sainsbury, left, was murdered in December 1984 and her body dumped on a golf course in  Buckinghamshire, it is believed that Campbell may also have killed Claire Woolterton, right three years earlier . Prosecutor Peter Wright QC said the teenager had been initially attacked at another, unknown, location and was found to show physical signs consistent with having been strangled into unconsciousness. Addressing the jury at Reading Crown Court he recounted gruesome details of how she said she had then been sexually assaulted and then murdered. He told jurors, who were shown photographs of the teenager’s body, they would hear evidence 'inevitably distressing and unpleasant to receive by way of detail.' He added: 'You’re going to hear evidence of two terrible crimes in which two young women met an untimely and dreadful death. 'One of which the defendant has already admitted his responsibility for, namely Deirdre Sainsbury. 'At the time, DNA comparison didn’t even exist. 'For 32 long years the identity of her killer remained unknown, her murder unsolved. But her killer had left his mark on her body. 'Little did he know then the advances in medical science and scientific technology would eventually be his undoing. Mr Wright told the court an 'adhesive tape lift' had been used on Claire’s body to take 'debris from the surface of her skin.' It was then stored by police for 30 years until the case was reviewed in 2011. The court heard that Claire, left, was last seen alive walking towards Hanwell after spending the evening in Ealing while 29-year-old Deirdre while hitchhiking in December 1984 . Behind bars: Colin Campbell is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of Deirdre Sainsbury . He told jurors that expert scientists now believe the DNA discovered was 'one million times more likely to have been obtained from Colin Campbell', while another found it 'one billion times more likely.' The court heard that Claire, who lived in Northolt, north west London, with her mother and her mother’s partner, was last seen alive at around 10pm on August 27 1981, walking towards Hanwell after spending the evening in Ealing with the older married man she was seeing. Usually after meeting her he drove her home, dropping her off nearby. Mr Wright went on: 'Sadly, on this night, she and he having had a disagreement, she decided to make her own way home and set off at around about 10 o’clock that evening. 'It was a journey, sadly, that she did not complete.' Claire, who had left school at 16, was reported missing by her worried mother the next day. That evening she saw that a girl’s body had been found and realised it could be her daughter, the court heard. Mr Wright said Campbell, who pleaded guilty to hitchhiker Ms Sainsbury’s manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, killed the 29-year-old in December 1984. Her body was found in a wooded area of Denham Golf Course in Buckinghamshire, after Campbell picked her up in his car in Upper Richmond Road, Roehampton, on the evening of December 22. Mr Wright told jurors there were many similarities between the two killings: both women had been mutilated with sharp instruments, both had their clothes removed by their attacker and both bodies had been left in public places where they could easily be found. The trial continues tomorrow. Sorry we are unable to accept comments for legal reasons.

Prosecutor Peter Wright QC said the teenager had been initially attacked at another, unknown, location and was found to show physical signs consistent with having been strangled into unconsciousness. Addressing the jury at Reading Crown Court he recounted gruesome details of how she said she had then been sexually assaulted and then murdered. He told jurors, who were shown photographs of the teenager’s body, they would hear evidence 'inevitably distressing and unpleasant to receive by way of detail.' He added: 'You’re going to hear evidence of two terrible crimes in which two young women met an untimely and dreadful death. 'One of which the defendant has already admitted his responsibility for, namely Deirdre Sainsbury. 'At the time, DNA comparison didn’t even exist. 'For 32 long years the identity of her killer remained unknown, her murder unsolved. But her killer had left his mark on her body. 'Little did he know then the advances in medical science and scientific technology would eventually be his undoing. Mr Wright told the court an 'adhesive tape lift' had been used on Claire’s body to take 'debris from the surface of her skin.' It was then stored by police for 30 years until the case was reviewed in 2011. The court heard that Claire, left, was last seen alive walking towards Hanwell after spending the evening in Ealing while 29-year-old Deirdre while hitchhiking in December 1984 . Behind bars: Colin Campbell is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of Deirdre Sainsbury . He told jurors that expert scientists now believe the DNA discovered was 'one million times more likely to have been obtained from Colin Campbell', while another found it 'one billion times more likely.' The court heard that Claire, who lived in Northolt, north west London, with her mother and her mother’s partner, was last seen alive at around 10pm on August 27 1981, walking towards Hanwell after spending the evening in Ealing with the older married man she was seeing. Usually after meeting her he drove her home, dropping her off nearby. Mr Wright went on: 'Sadly, on this night, she and he having had a disagreement, she decided to make her own way home and set off at around about 10 o’clock that evening. 'It was a journey, sadly, that she did not complete.' Claire, who had left school at 16, was reported missing by her worried mother the next day. That evening she saw that a girl’s body had been found and realised it could be her daughter, the court heard. Mr Wright said Campbell, who pleaded guilty to hitchhiker Ms Sainsbury’s manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, killed the 29-year-old in December 1984. Her body was found in a wooded area of Denham Golf Course in Buckinghamshire, after Campbell picked her up in his car in Upper Richmond Road, Roehampton, on the evening of December 22. Mr Wright told jurors there were many similarities between the two killings: both women had been mutilated with sharp instruments, both had their clothes removed by their attacker and both bodies had been left in public places where they could easily be found. The trial continues tomorrow. Sorry we are unable to accept comments for legal reasons.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . Last updated at 8:37 PM on 10th November 2011 . Two offshore racers have been killed after their powerful speedboat flipped up into the air before crashing at high speed at a world championship event. Spectators and organisers watched as Big Thunder Marine - a 46ft Skater catamaran with four 1,200 horsepower engines - was almost torn open by the force of the collision. The powerboat came down so hard in the third lap of the seven-lap race that its right front hull was severely damaged. The accident led to the deaths of throttleman Robert M.

A devastated teenager told last night how her friend drowned after they leapt off a bridge and into a river hand-in-hand to cool down. Megan Simmons had no idea that her companion, Hussain Mohammed, was unable to swim – and battled in vain to rescue him from the Thames. The pair giggled together on Donnington Bridge in Oxford before taking the spur-of-the-moment decision to leap into the water. Tragic: Hussain Mohammed, 15, drowned after getting into difficulties when he jumped off Donnington Bridge in Oxford on Friday. His friend Megan Simmons, pictured being comforted by her mother Angela, battled to save him after they leapt into the River Thames together . Crouching on the bridge in front of flowers left in memory of Hussain, Megan, 16, said: ‘I had no idea he couldn’t swim. We jumped off the bridge for a joke. Once we hit the water he got into trouble and started screaming and panicking. I tried to help him but he was too heavy. ‘I managed to swim to the side and could still hear him screaming but no one could help him until it was too late. I’m stunned by the whole thing and can’t believe it’s happened.’ Megan’s mother, Angela Eldridge, said her daughter was deeply shocked. She added: ‘Megan has been up all night and so have I. She couldn’t sleep at all and was just sobbing. She and Hussain had been hanging out together all week. They weren’t boyfriend or girlfriend but were very close. ‘Megan and Hussain had been walking home from school together.

Miss Akhtar, from the Cowley area of Oxford, said: ‘Hussain was always helping out around the house and would do anything for you. ‘He was full of life and cheeky and would constantly tease his four sisters.

Swooping from the sky, all Synwell the lonely bird of prey really wants is to find a mate. But being one of the world’s biggest and most powerful owls, with a 5ft 6in wingspan and talons like scalpels, his advances might seem a little forceful. Woefully misguided too, as unfortunate victims of the eagle owl’s indiscriminate love bombing in a Cotswold market town can testify only too well. Take Sue Dunn, 70, a retired nurse who ended up with a broken arm after she caught Synwell’s enormous orange eyes one night when she tried to photograph him perched on a lamppost, hooting. Synwell the owl has been swooping down on frightened residents in Wotton-on-Edge in his search for a mate. Left, he lands on Graham Ellis in his garden and right, Sue Dunn, whose arm was broken by his wings . ‘He was making such a noise, so I went outside and shone my torch on him to try to get a picture,’ she said. ‘He didn’t seem to like that. He drew his wings up and took off – flying straight at me.’ She tried to run back to her house but while dodging the bird, which stands over 2ft tall and weighs as much as a small dog, she tripped and fractured her right forearm as she broke her fall. ‘If he was being romantic, he should have gone to Specsavers. I had no time to run from him, he just dive-bombed me. He’s certainly got no fear of humans,’ she said. It is the latest in a series of incidents in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, involving Synwell, who was named after an area of the town by locals. Margaret Carruthers, 74, has been swooped on in the street, and her husband Robert, 66, was targeted outside their home. Mr Carruthers said: ‘We were so shocked by the incident that my wife won’t go outside the house now without taking an umbrella for defence. If he comes at you, there can be no warning.’ Despite his misadventures, Synwell has become so popular since he took up residence two years ago that residents have created a Facebook page for him to record sightings, incidents and photographs – and he has amassed 457 followers. Of course, some can’t resist posting updates about the twit-twooer on Twitter too. Eagle owls are found all over Europe, but are rarely seen in Britain. They have been known in captivity in this country since at least the 17th century, says the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and remain popular with falconers and collectors. The owl perched atop a tree in the Gloucestershire village. Synwell has left other residents with claw marks on their foreheads and in fear of being swooped upon . But dozens of eagle owls, which feed on small mammals but can be trained to kill foxes, escape every year. Synwell has tags on his legs and is thought to have been born in captivity before escaping or being abandoned. Experts say that explains why he seems so eager to get to grips with humans. Jemima Parry-Jones, from the International Centre for Birds of Prey at Newent in the Forest of Dean, said: ‘Captive birds think their mother was human, so new humans are potential partners, hence it flies at them. ‘He’s not actually attacking, but he’s a big bird with dirty great talons, so it’s certainly a nerve-racking experience if he takes a sudden fancy to you.’ The centre is keen to rescue the bird, if the town approves. But support for Synwell is so strong that even Mrs Dunn bears him no ill-feeling, although her husband Alex has bought a sonic scarer to deter him from further visits. ‘If he is looking for love, he’s certainly taking bold risks,’ she said. ‘A lot of people are concerned he might get hurt if someone takes the law into their own hands.’ For Graham and Glenys Ellis, both 67, Synwell is a welcome visitor. Mrs Ellis can even call him down by mimicking his hoots – although her husband always steps in at the last second so the owl lands on him (pictured above). Mr Ellis said: ‘He does a little tap dance then flies off again. I’m not frightened of him, he’s beautiful.’ Others, however, have wondered what might happen if Synwell swooped on a small child. His Facebook page also contains warnings about his behaviour. ‘Do not leave the house if the owl is out! He just swooped at me as I walked down my drive,’ posted Samii Buckland. ‘Claw marks on my head!’

One of Mr Vetere's first encounters of arm wrestline came when he was invited to take on a local champion in a classic showdown under a bridge. He lost within seconds in front of crowds of school friends but was taken under the wing of his opponent who trained him up and taught him techniques so he could beat people bigger than him. He added: 'I was taught these pretty advanced techniques from a young age so I had time to practice them - I used to be smaller so trained extra hard to beat all these huge guys. 'I took a couple of years out now and then throughout my career but every time I couldn't wait to get back. I'm still unbeaten against law enforcement but I know I won't be able to go on forever - but that won't stop me trying.'

He has ruthlessly swept opponents aside scooping four New York State Police Olympic titles, one International Law Enforcement Games title and one Empire State title - the latter open to all New Yorkers instead of just law enforcement. Vinny, who is 5'8" weighs 198lbs (14 stone) and has 16 inch biceps is now gearing up to compete in the 37th Big Apple Grapple International Championships on Sunday. Mr Vetere sometimes spend a whole day training by lifting weights and working with other arm wrestlers . The correctional officer is also trained in martial arts as part of his job at one of America's most notorious jails . He said: 'I compete to win and I compete to go to work - I need to be in good shape as my life is on the line as well as my partners life being on the line. 'I have to look out for him and he has to look out for me so we can't be going in half-hearted otherwise somebody is going to get hurt. 'Each day a correction officer is given a housing area of between 50 to 100 inmates and we have to patrol that area, check the bathrooms and day rooms to make sure they are all secure and nobody is out of control. 'One day it can be really quiet and the next there might be an outbreak - so being prepared is vital. Mr Vetere competing when he was younger. He started competing competitively when he was invited to take part in the New York State Police Olympics . The prison officer is 5'8", weighs 198lbs (14 stone) but has massive 16inch biceps . 'Through work I was trained in martial arts. I was given top notch training from black belts whether it be stood up or on the ground - it was the best of the best. 'At home I still do a lot of cardio and will sometimes spend a whole day lifting weights and working with other arm wrestlers. Some days I can't even lift my arm - so I make sure I don't have to go to work that day. 'I compete to go against the strongest guy - I want to beat the best guy out there. Being in competitions against these huge guys with my heart booming and people cheering us on is such a thrill.' What started off as playground fun for Vinny - a member of the Correction Officers' Benevolent Association - soon grew into a passion. Mr Vetere smiles on his way to victory in one of his early bouts when he first started competing . He says he wants to compete to go against the strongest guy. Mr Vetere added 'I want to beat the best guy out there' The correctional officer is taking part in the Big Apple Grapple International Championships on Sunday . One of Mr Vetere's first encounters of arm wrestline came when he was invited to take on a local champion in a classic showdown under a bridge. He lost within seconds in front of crowds of school friends but was taken under the wing of his opponent who trained him up and taught him techniques so he could beat people bigger than him. He added: 'I was taught these pretty advanced techniques from a young age so I had time to practice them - I used to be smaller so trained extra hard to beat all these huge guys. 'I took a couple of years out now and then throughout my career but every time I couldn't wait to get back. I'm still unbeaten against law enforcement but I know I won't be able to go on forever - but that won't stop me trying.'

A Christmas Day diner died and dozens of others became seriously ill after eating their turkey lunch at a pub where staff paid 'lip service' to safety procedures, a court heard today. Mother-of-one Della Callagher, 46, died after paying £39.95 for the four-course lunch at the Railway Hotel, Hornchurch, Essex, on Christmas Day 2012. She was among 33 people who fell ill following the alleged outbreak of food poisoning, later attributed to a bacteria known as Clostridium perfringens. The restaurant's former owner Ann McSweeney, 40, and ex-chef Mehmet Kaya, 37, deny serving food that was unfit for human consumption. Ann-Marie McSweeney (pictured, left) is on trial accused of serving food unfit for human consumption in her pub after mother Della Callagher (right) died . Today, John Callagher, 53, described his wife's 'horrific' death, describing the moment she began shaking and rolled her eyes back while lying in bed next to him. Mr Callagher, who breathed deeply throughout his evidence and sipped at a glass of water to keep his composure, said that his wife was in a 'great mood' on Chistmas Day because she loved being with her family. He told the court that his wife began to feel unwell at around 5:30am on Boxing Day and he started to feel unwell about an hour later. Mr Callagher said: 'We both had the same symptoms, but Della got progressively far worse than me as we went throughout the day, with vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach pain. 'I called my mother-in-law, and said "you've got to come to the house". 'I was getting increasingly concerned as the day went on. The vomiting and diarrhoea wouldn't stop and Della was a very private person, and it was horrific to see what was going on. 'My mother-in-law called NHS Helpline first and that didn't seem to work, whatever that was, and then the paramedics were called by 999. 'My symptom's were nowhere near as bad as Della's. They gave her Diarolyte. 'Della was in quite a state physically so they took her in an ambulance to Queen's Hospital, Romford.' He told the court that because of his food poisoning, he wasn't well enough to go with his wife. He said: 'I couldn't. I wasn't in the physical state to go. My mother-in-law went and I think my brother-in-law joined them later at the hospital. 'The next thing I discovered, they were back at my house, my brother-in-law is a black taxi driver and he brought them back.' He continued: 'They didn't take her in A&E because I think they were concerned it was the norovirus, even though it was clear - the paramedics said to me: "this looks like salmonella." More than 30 diners fell ill with food poisoning after the meal at the Railway Hotel in Hornchurch, Essex . 'They gave her a shot of something in the ambulance. They [A&E] sort of turned her away.' He said she seemed a bit better, but in the afternoon or early evening she took a turn for the worse. Mr Callagher said: 'She got far, far, far, worse. It was horrific.' He said he called his mother-in-law again, asking her to come back to the house, adding: 'I didn't know what to do. 'I called my mother-in-law and she was going to come round and I was holding Della on the bed because I didn't want vomit to go down her throat, and she would choke.' He added: 'Something changed. I felt her physically shake and her eyes rolled, as if she was having a cardiac arrest.' He claimed that the ambulance took more than 45 minutes to arrive, as somebody instructed his brother how to do CPR. He said: 'We had someone on the line who was instructing us to do CPR. My brother-in-law was giving her CPR and trying to save her, but there was no sign of life. 'My mother-in-law was very ill by this point. The paramedics took over and we went downstairs to let them do their job. We hoped for a different outcome, but she hadn't breathed now for 45 minutes. 'Paramedics took my brother-in-law outside and I think they was going to say she was clinically gone, and they then felt a pulse and they took her to hospital.' Mr Callgher told the court that this time he travelled in the ambulance with his wife, regardless of his own condition. He said: 'It didn't matter to me what state I was in. 'I left with her and my mother-in-law left in a different ambulance.' Mrs Callagher was pronounced dead at the hospital on December 27th at around 08:15am. The pub's parent company, Mitchell and Butlers PLC, based in Birmingham, also deny the charge at Snaresbrook Crown Court. McSweeney, of Hornchurch, and Kaya, of Purfleet, Essex, also deny perverting the course of justice by falsifying records in a 'daily kitchen due diligence log' relating to the cooking and cooling of turkey meat. The pair are accused of failing to properly monitor the temperature of the turkey as it cooked. Following the incident, they allegedly falsified their food safety records to hand to health and safety inspectors. McSweeney further denies obstructing an officer in the course of their duty by handing the falsified documents to food safety inspectors. Andrew Campbell-Tiech, prosecuting, told the court: 'Mehmet Kaya grossly, grossly mismanaged the preparation of the Christmas turkey. 'By that act he caused his employer, the company, to place unsafe food before its customers on Christmas Day. Mrs Callagher, who tragically later died, was initially seen at Queen's Hospital in Romford, pictured . 'Miss McSweeney was in overall charge. She knew, she must have known, that Mr Kaya did not follow safety procedures. Her default is clear, she should have intervened. She did not.' Referring to the charge of perverting the course of justice, Mr Campbell-Tiech said: 'The actions of Miss McSweeney and Mr Kaya in the immediate aftermath of this tragedy were not those of innocent actors caught up in a tragedy not of their making. 'News of a possible food poisoning outbreak reached The Railway Hotel sometime in the morning on Boxing Day. Carole Rowe, a diner, had returned to the hotel to complain.' He added: 'Miss McSweeney contacted the company, who by 1pm on Boxing Day were aware that six people had reported illness. 'Environmental Health Officers attended on the 27th and, by that time, all trace of the Christmas meal had disappeared. There were no samples for the officers to seize.' He continued: 'Clearly the turkey breasts were cooked and cooled, otherwise they could not have been reheated and served the following day, Christmas Day. But when and for how long, we simply do not know.' Mr Campbell-Tiech claimed the kitchen logbooks showed 'the kitchen of The Railway Hotel paid lip service only to the systems the company had prescribed but did not enforce'. The trial continues. The bacterium Clostridium perfringens is widely distributed in the environment and food. It is the third most common cause of food poisoning in the UK. If spores of the bacteria survive cooking, they can germinate to form growing cells. Spores cannot grow in a refrigerator or freezer but thrive at room temperature. In optimal growing conditions, the organism has a generation time of 10 to 12 minutes. When a large number of the vegetative cells are consumed this will more-likely-than-not lead to gastroenteritis. Food poisoning from the bacteria most often occurs when foodstuffs, usually red meat or poultry, is prepared in advance and kept warm for several hours before serving. The illness, with diarrhoea and abdominal pain the main symptoms, generally lasts for less than 24 hours but elderly people may be more seriously affected. The bacteria is also responsible for 80-95 per cent of gas gangrene cases, a rare but severe form of gangrene. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

The restaurant's former owner Ann McSweeney, 40, and ex-chef Mehmet Kaya, 37, deny serving food that was unfit for human consumption. Ann-Marie McSweeney (pictured, left) is on trial accused of serving food unfit for human consumption in her pub after mother Della Callagher (right) died . Today, John Callagher, 53, described his wife's 'horrific' death, describing the moment she began shaking and rolled her eyes back while lying in bed next to him. Mr Callagher, who breathed deeply throughout his evidence and sipped at a glass of water to keep his composure, said that his wife was in a 'great mood' on Chistmas Day because she loved being with her family. He told the court that his wife began to feel unwell at around 5:30am on Boxing Day and he started to feel unwell about an hour later. Mr Callagher said: 'We both had the same symptoms, but Della got progressively far worse than me as we went throughout the day, with vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach pain. 'I called my mother-in-law, and said "you've got to come to the house". 'I was getting increasingly concerned as the day went on. The vomiting and diarrhoea wouldn't stop and Della was a very private person, and it was horrific to see what was going on. 'My mother-in-law called NHS Helpline first and that didn't seem to work, whatever that was, and then the paramedics were called by 999. 'My symptom's were nowhere near as bad as Della's. They gave her Diarolyte. 'Della was in quite a state physically so they took her in an ambulance to Queen's Hospital, Romford.' He told the court that because of his food poisoning, he wasn't well enough to go with his wife. He said: 'I couldn't. I wasn't in the physical state to go. My mother-in-law went and I think my brother-in-law joined them later at the hospital. 'The next thing I discovered, they were back at my house, my brother-in-law is a black taxi driver and he brought them back.' He continued: 'They didn't take her in A&E because I think they were concerned it was the norovirus, even though it was clear - the paramedics said to me: "this looks like salmonella." More than 30 diners fell ill with food poisoning after the meal at the Railway Hotel in Hornchurch, Essex . 'They gave her a shot of something in the ambulance. They [A&E] sort of turned her away.' He said she seemed a bit better, but in the afternoon or early evening she took a turn for the worse. Mr Callagher said: 'She got far, far, far, worse. It was horrific.' He said he called his mother-in-law again, asking her to come back to the house, adding: 'I didn't know what to do. 'I called my mother-in-law and she was going to come round and I was holding Della on the bed because I didn't want vomit to go down her throat, and she would choke.' He added: 'Something changed. I felt her physically shake and her eyes rolled, as if she was having a cardiac arrest.' He claimed that the ambulance took more than 45 minutes to arrive, as somebody instructed his brother how to do CPR. He said: 'We had someone on the line who was instructing us to do CPR. My brother-in-law was giving her CPR and trying to save her, but there was no sign of life. 'My mother-in-law was very ill by this point. The paramedics took over and we went downstairs to let them do their job. We hoped for a different outcome, but she hadn't breathed now for 45 minutes. 'Paramedics took my brother-in-law outside and I think they was going to say she was clinically gone, and they then felt a pulse and they took her to hospital.' Mr Callgher told the court that this time he travelled in the ambulance with his wife, regardless of his own condition. He said: 'It didn't matter to me what state I was in. 'I left with her and my mother-in-law left in a different ambulance.' Mrs Callagher was pronounced dead at the hospital on December 27th at around 08:15am. The pub's parent company, Mitchell and Butlers PLC, based in Birmingham, also deny the charge at Snaresbrook Crown Court. McSweeney, of Hornchurch, and Kaya, of Purfleet, Essex, also deny perverting the course of justice by falsifying records in a 'daily kitchen due diligence log' relating to the cooking and cooling of turkey meat. The pair are accused of failing to properly monitor the temperature of the turkey as it cooked. Following the incident, they allegedly falsified their food safety records to hand to health and safety inspectors. McSweeney further denies obstructing an officer in the course of their duty by handing the falsified documents to food safety inspectors. Andrew Campbell-Tiech, prosecuting, told the court: 'Mehmet Kaya grossly, grossly mismanaged the preparation of the Christmas turkey. 'By that act he caused his employer, the company, to place unsafe food before its customers on Christmas Day. Mrs Callagher, who tragically later died, was initially seen at Queen's Hospital in Romford, pictured . 'Miss McSweeney was in overall charge. She knew, she must have known, that Mr Kaya did not follow safety procedures. Her default is clear, she should have intervened. She did not.' Referring to the charge of perverting the course of justice, Mr Campbell-Tiech said: 'The actions of Miss McSweeney and Mr Kaya in the immediate aftermath of this tragedy were not those of innocent actors caught up in a tragedy not of their making. 'News of a possible food poisoning outbreak reached The Railway Hotel sometime in the morning on Boxing Day. Carole Rowe, a diner, had returned to the hotel to complain.' He added: 'Miss McSweeney contacted the company, who by 1pm on Boxing Day were aware that six people had reported illness. 'Environmental Health Officers attended on the 27th and, by that time, all trace of the Christmas meal had disappeared. There were no samples for the officers to seize.' He continued: 'Clearly the turkey breasts were cooked and cooled, otherwise they could not have been reheated and served the following day, Christmas Day. But when and for how long, we simply do not know.' Mr Campbell-Tiech claimed the kitchen logbooks showed 'the kitchen of The Railway Hotel paid lip service only to the systems the company had prescribed but did not enforce'. The trial continues. The bacterium Clostridium perfringens is widely distributed in the environment and food. It is the third most common cause of food poisoning in the UK. If spores of the bacteria survive cooking, they can germinate to form growing cells. Spores cannot grow in a refrigerator or freezer but thrive at room temperature. In optimal growing conditions, the organism has a generation time of 10 to 12 minutes. When a large number of the vegetative cells are consumed this will more-likely-than-not lead to gastroenteritis. Food poisoning from the bacteria most often occurs when foodstuffs, usually red meat or poultry, is prepared in advance and kept warm for several hours before serving. The illness, with diarrhoea and abdominal pain the main symptoms, generally lasts for less than 24 hours but elderly people may be more seriously affected. The bacteria is also responsible for 80-95 per cent of gas gangrene cases, a rare but severe form of gangrene. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Every day painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen that are flushed out into the environment are stunting the growth of important food crops, new research suggests. Scientists have assessed the impact of a range of commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication on edible crops like lettuce and radish. They found that the drugs could change the way the roots and stems of the plants grow in the first few weeks after germinating. Some of the drugs caused radishes to grow shorter roots, which may impact on the size and quality of the food . In some cases the drugs suppressed growth and led to roots being shorter while others enhanced the growth of leaves. They could also alter the way the crops took up water. More than 30 million of these drugs are prescribed across the world every day and find their way into the environment. Dr Clare Redshaw, who led the study at the European centre for environmental and human health at the University of Exeter, said that the findings raised serious questions about how the medication we use is altering the environment around us. Long-term monitoring by the British Trust For Ornithology shows starling numbers have fallen by two-thirds in Britain since the early Eighties. The RSPB says the starling is now listed as a ‘bird of high conservation concern’. While the charity admits the cause of the decline in the UK is not clear, Dr Kathryn Arnold, an ecologist from the University of York, who has been studying the effects of our Prozac habit on starlings, suggests the anti-depressant could be partly to blame. She says the birds are ingesting fluoxetine — the drug’s active ingredient — by eating earthworms that thrive at sewage works. The level of fluoxetine in these worms is tiny, around four per cent of the equivalent average dose given to humans. But research shows even this minute dose can have a profound effect on the starlings’ brains. Dr Arnold fed worms containing the same concentration of the drug to 24 captive starlings and monitored their behaviour over six months. The experiment, on BBC2’s Autumnwatch, which is broadcast over four days this week, found that the birds suffered side-effects similar to those experienced by humans taking Prozac. Antidepressants have also been found to produce impacts on male crayfish, which become more aggressive and kill large number of females. Environmental researchers have in the past warned that hormones like estrogen from contraceptive drugs are having a devastating impact on fish and amphibian. Now the latest work suggests that many other common drugs are also having unexpected impacts on the environment and the food we eat. Dr Redshaw said: ‘These are some of the most widely used drugs in the world, yet we know very little about their effects on flora and fauna. ‘The roots and stems seemed to be the most affected in the plants we looked at, but some of the drugs had opposing effects in different plants.’ For example, diclofenac, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to treat arthritis and migraine headaches, seemed to suppress the growth of radishes while enhanced lettuce growth. By comparison, Ibuprofen exposure delayed the opening of lettuce leaves and had a significant influence on early root development in lettuce but enhanced the growth of radish roots. ‘We only ran these experiments for a number of weeks but if we continued for several months we may see the affects change,’ said Dr Redshaw. ‘Early development is a crucial time for plants and it is likely we would see continuing impacts in these plants. ‘Clearly it is not catastrophic, otherwise all out fields would be empty, but it is clear these drugs are changing the way plants grow.’ Dr Redshaw and her colleague Dr Wiebke Schmidt studied how six different non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs changed the germination and growth of lettuce and radish plants. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can escape into the environment through waste water and when old unused drugs are are thrown away in to landfill, which could be having a major impact on plants . Although the researchers from Exeter University only tested the changes in lettuce and radishes, they fear painkillers and other drugs may also cause changes in the way other crops and wild plants develop . They looked at ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen, tolfenamic acid, meclofenamic acid and mefenamic acid - which are all used to treat arthritis, migraines or menstrual pains. They found that each of the drugs altered the way the plants photosynthesised, their overall size, their root and shoot length and how they took up water. The findings, which are published in the Journal of Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, emphasis the need to find new ways to remove medication from waste water. Dr Redshaw said although they only studied the impact of the drugs in two plants, it was clear they could also affect other crops. She added that previous work she had conducted showed that many medications are absorbed by crop plants, which leads to them being eaten again by humans. Dr Redshaw said: ‘Many drugs we use are designed to be very stable which means they are resistant and can cycle around in the food chain. Ibuprofen delayed the opening of lettuce leaves and altered the way the roots grew in early development . The researchers grew lettuce and radishes from seeds while exposing them from different medications . 'The use of these drugs is rising in western and developed countries because of the aging population demographic. 'Clearly these drugs could also be having a combined affect on plants as they will not just be exposed to a single drug or pollutant in the environment. ‘There are some 3,000 pharmaceuticals licensed for use in the UK. The next phase in our work will be to look at these mixture effects.’ The work builds on concerns that pharmaceuticals in the environment are posing a growing threat to human health and wildlife. Overuse of antibiotics, which escape into the environment, are thought to be driving the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria. A recent special issue of the journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B warned the risk posed by pharmaceuticals to wildlife needed to be better explored. In freshwater habitats, for example, where drugs tend to be most commonly found, around 75% of fish and amphibians had been lost. Other research has also found that vultures in India are being wiped out by an anti-inflammatory drug given to cattle. Dr Kathryn Arnold, an environmental research fellow at the University of York who edited the issue said: ‘With thousands of pharmaceuticals in use globally, they have the potential to have potent effects on wildlife and ecosystems. ‘We believe that it is time to explore emerging challenges.’

Mo Farah won his second gold medal of the week to become the most successful athlete in European Championship history on the best ever day for British athletes at major championships. His 5,000m title was the second of five golds in one afternoon, together with two bronzes, to put Great Britain comfortably top of the medal table for only the third time in the 76-year history of this competition. There were faint echoes of Super Saturday at the Olympic Stadium with Farah storming by the long jump pit en route to glory as Greg Rutherford prepared for his fourth leap, which eventually sealed gold. The household names did their job here. VIDEO Scroll down for Mo Farah previously won 5000m gold in Moscow 2013 . Job done: Mo Farah celebrates with his familiar MoBot celebration as he crosses the line in Zurich . World No 1! Farah gave his competitors no chance with a show of dominance at the European Championships . The best: Mo Farah was joined on the podium by fellow Brit Andy Vernon, who took bronze in the 5,000m . But it was Andy Vernon, a journeyman 28-year-old from Aldershot, who got Great Britain’s 20th medal of the Championships. Vernon, built like a middleweight boxer and partly funding his athletics career by babysitting, took bronze behind Farah, breaking the previous record of 19 medals, achieved in Barcelona in 2010. Established members of the team have had curious but delightful breakthroughs this week. Jo Pavey, a 40-year-old mother of two, won her first major gold 25 years after her senior debut and Martyn Rooney, 27, finally fulfilled the promise he showed as a teenager by winning two titles here. Rooney admitted he has been driven forward by the presence of talented 19-year-old Matt Hudson-Smith, who takes one gold and one silver back from Zurich to Wolverhampton. Gold: Conrad Williams, Matthew Hudson-Smith, Michael Bingham and Martyn Rooney won the 4x400m title . Sprint success: James Ellington, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Richard Kilty and Adam Gemili celebrate 4x100m gold . Golden glory: Great Britain sprinters show off their gold medals after winning the Men's and Women's 4x100m . ‘It’s an incredible medal haul,’ said Rooney. ‘There are a lot of very talented young kids coming through and seeing that makes the older guys step up, so they have to fight for their place on the team. It’s a really cool team, too, one of my favourites to have been on.’ Other talented upstarts, such as sprinters Adam Gemili and Jodie Williams, have got their first taste of victory on the main stage, a point from which to push towards the World Championships next year and the Rio Olympics in 2016. Farah, though, remains the most likely gold-medal prospect on the world stage. He might not be at his best but, in the watery afternoon sunshine at the Letzigrund Stadium, he achieved what no athlete has before — a triple-double of Olympic, world and European 5k and 10k titles. Double medallist: Jodie Williams won silver in the 200m and then gold in the 4x100m relay out in Zurich . Taste of success: Along with his 4x100m relay gold medal, Adam Gemili also won gold in the 200m . ‘History is important to me and it feels great to make my country proud,’ said Farah. His numerous entries in the record books are indelible but it is the personal moments that will live longest in the memory. ‘My twins (Aisha and Amani) are here,’ said Farah. ‘They are almost two now and it is the first time they’ve been old enough to properly watch me race. I got a kiss off them at the end. That means a lot.’ Farah has spoken recently of feeling vulnerable on the start line. He has collapsed twice this year — once at the end of the New York half-marathon and once again after a training run in Park City, Utah, which he said reminded him of the fragility of his career. But if he was feeling nervous, his rivals appeared petrified by his presence yesterday. They knew they were up against a runner who is a class apart. The 31-year-old’s personal best of 12:53.11 is over 11 seconds quicker than next best, Jesus España of Spain. British glory: Greg Rutherford won gold in the long jump during a record medal winning day for Great Britain . In the end Farah wrapped up victory in a pedestrian 14:05.82. He has not run as slowly since 2005, at the European Under 23 Championships. Only Azerbaijani Hayle Ibrahimov took it to Farah, making a charge with 600m to go. Farah sailed past him and looked almost back to his best. ‘Next year will be interesting,’ he said, firing a thinly veiled warning shot in the direction of his East African rivals. Rutherford, meanwhile, joked he was ‘the biggest fluke going’, after taking his third major title in two years. It was a swipe at witless detractors who mock him for winning without breaking world records. Rutherford, now the reigning Olympic, Commonwealth and European champion, jumped an impressive 8.29m in the fourth round, improving on his second-round effort of 8.27m. ‘I had the luxury of four rounds and leaving it,’ said Rutherford. ‘I had a slight tightening after the fourth and thought I’d wait and see if someone could jump further.’ Nobody did and the 27-year-old celebrated by sprinting down the track draped in the Union Jack. Performance director Neil Black gave himself plenty of wriggle room before these championships, targeting a better finish than Helsinki in 2012 (seven in total, four gold) and worse than Barcelona in 2010 (19, six gold). In the end they achieved their best haul of 23, with 12 gold, five silver and six bronze. ‘Yes, these are the European Championships, not global,’ said Black. ‘But there were still some seriously impressive results and we are top of Europe. It was an incredibly special Sunday.’

Gold: Conrad Williams, Matthew Hudson-Smith, Michael Bingham and Martyn Rooney won the 4x400m title . Sprint success: James Ellington, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, Richard Kilty and Adam Gemili celebrate 4x100m gold . Golden glory: Great Britain sprinters show off their gold medals after winning the Men's and Women's 4x100m . ‘It’s an incredible medal haul,’ said Rooney. ‘There are a lot of very talented young kids coming through and seeing that makes the older guys step up, so they have to fight for their place on the team. It’s a really cool team, too, one of my favourites to have been on.’ Other talented upstarts, such as sprinters Adam Gemili and Jodie Williams, have got their first taste of victory on the main stage, a point from which to push towards the World Championships next year and the Rio Olympics in 2016. Farah, though, remains the most likely gold-medal prospect on the world stage. He might not be at his best but, in the watery afternoon sunshine at the Letzigrund Stadium, he achieved what no athlete has before — a triple-double of Olympic, world and European 5k and 10k titles. Double medallist: Jodie Williams won silver in the 200m and then gold in the 4x100m relay out in Zurich . Taste of success: Along with his 4x100m relay gold medal, Adam Gemili also won gold in the 200m . ‘History is important to me and it feels great to make my country proud,’ said Farah. His numerous entries in the record books are indelible but it is the personal moments that will live longest in the memory. ‘My twins (Aisha and Amani) are here,’ said Farah. ‘They are almost two now and it is the first time they’ve been old enough to properly watch me race. I got a kiss off them at the end. That means a lot.’ Farah has spoken recently of feeling vulnerable on the start line. He has collapsed twice this year — once at the end of the New York half-marathon and once again after a training run in Park City, Utah, which he said reminded him of the fragility of his career. But if he was feeling nervous, his rivals appeared petrified by his presence yesterday. They knew they were up against a runner who is a class apart. The 31-year-old’s personal best of 12:53.11 is over 11 seconds quicker than next best, Jesus España of Spain. British glory: Greg Rutherford won gold in the long jump during a record medal winning day for Great Britain . In the end Farah wrapped up victory in a pedestrian 14:05.82. He has not run as slowly since 2005, at the European Under 23 Championships. Only Azerbaijani Hayle Ibrahimov took it to Farah, making a charge with 600m to go. Farah sailed past him and looked almost back to his best. ‘Next year will be interesting,’ he said, firing a thinly veiled warning shot in the direction of his East African rivals. Rutherford, meanwhile, joked he was ‘the biggest fluke going’, after taking his third major title in two years. It was a swipe at witless detractors who mock him for winning without breaking world records. Rutherford, now the reigning Olympic, Commonwealth and European champion, jumped an impressive 8.29m in the fourth round, improving on his second-round effort of 8.27m. ‘I had the luxury of four rounds and leaving it,’ said Rutherford. ‘I had a slight tightening after the fourth and thought I’d wait and see if someone could jump further.’ Nobody did and the 27-year-old celebrated by sprinting down the track draped in the Union Jack. Performance director Neil Black gave himself plenty of wriggle room before these championships, targeting a better finish than Helsinki in 2012 (seven in total, four gold) and worse than Barcelona in 2010 (19, six gold). In the end they achieved their best haul of 23, with 12 gold, five silver and six bronze. ‘Yes, these are the European Championships, not global,’ said Black. ‘But there were still some seriously impressive results and we are top of Europe. It was an incredibly special Sunday.’

(CNN) -- The United States named Afghanistan a major non-NATO ally Saturday, clearing the way for the two countries to maintain a defense and economic relationship even as American combat troops withdraw. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced the designation during a surprise visit to Kabul. A day after the announcement, she will attend a gathering of international donors in Tokyo who will be asked to pledge financial support for Afghanistan after nearly all U.S.-led NATO troops pull out of the country by the end of 2014. The relationship is beneficial during the transition as both nations prepare for post-2014, according to Clinton. "It will open the door to Afghanistan's military to have a greater capacity and broader kind of relationship with the United States, and particularly the United States military," Clinton told reporters in Kabul. By granting such ally status, it makes Afghanistan eligible to receive military training and assistance, including expediting the sales and leasing of military equipment long after NATO troops leave. "There are a number of benefits that accrue to countries that have this designation," she said. "They are able to have access to excess defense supplies, for example, and they can be part of certain kinds of training and capacity building." Allegations: American generals delayed Kabul hospital abuse probe . The United States gave Afghanistan the designation as part of an Enduring Strategic Partnership Agreement signed in May by President Barack Obama and his Afghan counterpart, Hamid Karzai. Afghanistan joins Japan, Pakistan, Egypt, Israel and Australia, among others, granted major non-NATO ally status by the United States. Unlike NATO allies of the United States, who are bound together by a joint defense pact, there is no mutual defense guarantee as a non-NATO ally. Clinton made it clear the United States has no intention of abandoning Afghanistan after the troops withdrawal. "We will continue, of course, to protect Afghanistan from any efforts by insurgents and outsiders to destabilize Afghanistan," she said. Clinton and Karzai are headed to the meeting Sunday in Tokyo, where private and public donors are expected to pledge nearly $4 billion in aid for reconstruction. During the news conference, Clinton also hinted at thawing U.S.-Pakistani relations, which were virtually frozen after the killing of Osama bin Laden, U.S. claims that Pakistan failed to crackdown on insurgents conducting cross-border attacks in Afghanistan and Islamabad's demand that Washington apologize for the killing of 24 Pakistani soldiers in November 2011. Clinton apologized Tuesday for the killings, prompting Pakistan to allow trucks carrying supplies to NATO troops to cross from Pakistan into Afghanistan for the first time in seven months. "We were struck by the recent call from Pakistan's parliament that Pakistani territory shall not be used for any kind of attacks on other countries, and all foreign fighters, if found, shall be expelled from Pakistani soil," Clinton said during the news conference. "So we want to deepen our security cooperation with Pakistan." Clinton said there would be a meeting on the "ministerial level" between Pakistan, Afghanistan and the United States at the Tokyo gathering. The United States has not publicly said how much money it will pledge, though Clinton said Saturday that "of course the United States will be making a substantial commitment." There are questions, though, about whether private and commercial donors will commit to large handouts without a guarantee that money won't be siphoned off by corruption rampant in Afghanistan. Clinton told reporters that she was "encouraged by what she was hearing" about financial pledges at the Tokyo meeting, but conceded corruption was a major challenge. Poverty and corruption are widespread in Afghanistan. It came in 172nd out of 187 countries in the United Nations' 2011 Human Development Index, which ranks nations based on life expectancy, education and living standards. Questions were raised after the United Nations announced an investigation in June into its Afghanistan development fund that pays the salaries of Afghan police amid allegations of misuse of funds. "We take seriously any allegations of corruption that involve U.S. funds, and we are working with the United Nations to support the steps they have said they would take to address the concerns raised by donors about allegations of mismanagement of the Law and Order Trust Fund." Clinton said "mutual accountability would be discussed" at the meeting in Tokyo. First NATO trucks move into Afghanistan from Pakistan after 7-month closure . CNN's Greg Seaby and Chelsea J.

(CNN) -- He's unlikely to break a world record or even win a medal but New Zealand's Blake Skjellerup is likely to generate plenty of headlines if he gets to February's Winter Olympics. The speed skater is currently the only openly gay athlete who could compete in Sochi, at a Games already tinged by Russia's controversial laws on homosexuality. The June ruling prohibits the distribution of information to minors promoting same-sex relationships and the public discussion of gay rights, but Skjellerup has promised not to shy away from the issue. Instead, he's planning to tackle it head on. And if Russian President Vladimiar Putin, who signed off the bill, is sincere when recently saying that all competitors will be welcome -- "regardless of nationality, race or sexual orientation" -- then the 28-year-old's potential arrival will be the acid test. Especially if he starts wearing the rainbow badge that has been made especially for him, one bearing the words "Blake Skjellerup -- Proud 2014". "I will express my feelings and emotions openly (in Sochi)," the Kiwi told CNN. "I am not going to go back into the closet in any way. I am proud of who I am. "Yes, Sochi is about my competitive nature -- it's about me competing as a speed skater -- but on the other hand, it's about standing up for what I believe in and being proud of that." Skjellerup came out after competing at the last Winter Olympics, saying he had chosen not to do so beforehand in order to avoid unwanted distractions in his build-up. In Vancouver four years ago, he reached the quarterfinals in the men's 1000m short-track event -- and he will soon find out if he has qualified for the 500m at next year's Games. Another reason given for not coming out prior to the 2010 Games was a reluctance to alienate sponsors and in August, Skjellerup launched an online campaign to generate funds for his Sochi participation. This was predicated upon a desire to represent the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community, with the Kiwi explaining in a promotional video that "love is a human right" and decrying the fact that the act of same-sex couples holding hands in Russia could lead to a jail term. He has also produced a badge that he will sell to raise funds for his participation and which he intends to wear in Russia, despite the punishments that could come his way. "The idea behind the pins is about showing a part of me that I am very proud to be," explained a man who lives and trains in the Canadian city Calgary. "In my mind, it is no different to (sporting) a cross or a cultural tattoo. The pin is something I can wear to show that I am proud of who I am and also offer solidarity to the people of Russia, because it is not fair what is happening to them. "I am in their country, I should respect that but I respect them, because they are the ones who are being oppressed -- and they are the ones who are having to hide who they are and having to live their lives in a way that isn't healthy." In August, Human Rights First issued a report on the anti-gay "propaganda" law and on the state of LGBT rights in Russia called "Convenient Targets." Since 2006, it says, 10 regional legislative bodies have adopted laws prohibiting the "propaganda" of homosexuality but those laws have seldom been applied. It also reports that during the first half of 2013 there were 13 beatings and one murder "motivated by anti-gay bias." In 2012, there were 12 attacks; in 2011, three. On a visit to inspect Sochi's facilities in September, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) dismissed concerns over the bill. "As long as the Olympic Charter is respected, we are satisfied. This is the case," said Jean-Claude Killy, who headed up the visiting IOC delegation. There have been widespread calls for a boycott of the Sochi Olympics in light of the anti-gay laws, but Skjellerup takes a very different view. "I think being Sochi is a good thing -- not just for me but for this human rights movement," he said. "It's something that shouldn't be there, and the fact that it came into law in 2013 is absurd. "I don't know what they were thinking nor what the intent is behind this. It makes no sense to me."

(CNN) -- This week's devastating crash of a high-speed train in Spain, which left nearly 80 dead, has drawn renewed attention to rail safety at a time when the Obama administration has prioritized the construction of fast new rail links. These trains whisk passengers between city centers at speeds of 200 mph or more. European and Asian riders have enjoyed such service for decades. But such fast trains are still largely unknown to Americans thanks to decades of minimal government support for track improvement. As a result, intercity trains in the United States are mostly limited to about 110 mph. So far, the Obama administration, thanks to support from congressional Democrats, has distributed more than $10 billion to begin investing in faster train service. Construction on the first phase of a link between San Francisco and Los Angeles, which will be the country's fastest rail line, will begin over the next few months. As recently as this spring, then-Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood suggested the government planned to connect 80% of Americans to such trains by around 2040. The trains will be fast. Will they also be safe? Indeed, there have been a number of high-profile rail crashes over the years. In 1998,101 riders were killed in Germany when a train crashed in Eschede. And in 2011, two of China's newest, fastest trains slammed into one another, killing 40 people. But those are exceptions to the rule, caused by poor maintenance and monitoring. Rail, high speed or not, is one of the safest ways to get around. According to a National Safety Council review of 10 years of transportation fatalities, for every mile traveled, car drivers and passengers are more than 10 times as likely to die in accidents as passenger rail riders. In 21 years -- between 1990 and 2011 -- the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows that nearly 900,000 people died in highway crashes, while fewer than 15,000 died in train collisions. Other countries' experience shows that high-speed rail can be even safer than the much slower U.S. trains. The bullet trains that zoom through France and Japan, for instance, testify to the astonishing safety offered by well-managed rail services. Each nation's system has been in operation for more than 30 years and provided billions of rides. Yet thanks to advanced safety systems and extensive maintenance, no passengers -- zero -- have died as a result of a high-speed train crash in either country. Improvements in the design of German trains and a review of maintenance operations in China have also prevented repeats of previous train accidents in those countries.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.(CNN) -- This week's devastating crash of a high-speed train in Spain, which left nearly 80 dead, has drawn renewed attention to rail safety at a time when the Obama administration has prioritized the construction of fast new rail links. These trains whisk passengers between city centers at speeds of 200 mph or more. European and Asian riders have enjoyed such service for decades. But such fast trains are still largely unknown to Americans thanks to decades of minimal government support for track improvement. As a result, intercity trains in the United States are mostly limited to about 110 mph. So far, the Obama administration, thanks to support from congressional Democrats, has distributed more than $10 billion to begin investing in faster train service. Construction on the first phase of a link between San Francisco and Los Angeles, which will be the country's fastest rail line, will begin over the next few months. As recently as this spring, then-Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood suggested the government planned to connect 80% of Americans to such trains by around 2040. The trains will be fast. Will they also be safe? Indeed, there have been a number of high-profile rail crashes over the years. In 1998,101 riders were killed in Germany when a train crashed in Eschede. And in 2011, two of China's newest, fastest trains slammed into one another, killing 40 people. But those are exceptions to the rule, caused by poor maintenance and monitoring. Rail, high speed or not, is one of the safest ways to get around. According to a National Safety Council review of 10 years of transportation fatalities, for every mile traveled, car drivers and passengers are more than 10 times as likely to die in accidents as passenger rail riders. In 21 years -- between 1990 and 2011 -- the Bureau of Transportation Statistics shows that nearly 900,000 people died in highway crashes, while fewer than 15,000 died in train collisions. Other countries' experience shows that high-speed rail can be even safer than the much slower U.S. trains. The bullet trains that zoom through France and Japan, for instance, testify to the astonishing safety offered by well-managed rail services. Each nation's system has been in operation for more than 30 years and provided billions of rides. Yet thanks to advanced safety systems and extensive maintenance, no passengers -- zero -- have died as a result of a high-speed train crash in either country. Improvements in the design of German trains and a review of maintenance operations in China have also prevented repeats of previous train accidents in those countries. Early reports suggest that the train crash in Spain could have been avoided. The train may have been traveling at more than twice the allowed speed limit. Modern train control equipment is designed to brake trains automatically when they travel too quickly or come too close to another train. Unfortunately, that train in Spain did not use that system.

By . Tracey Cox . It takes three things to be good in bed: education, practical experience and the right attitude. But to truly earn your great-in-bed badge, there's one thing you must perfect: a signature sex move. What's this exactly? Well, only you know the answer to that one. It might turn out to be a totally original complex manoeuvre, known only to you and your lovers. (You've not only got it trademarked, your exes know if they so much as think of spilling your secret, you'll send the boys around.) Tracey says that a signature sex move can help you from go from being good in bed to great in bed . Or it could something as ingeniously simple as a twirl of the tongue, done with such panache, it defies description. Need a little help to work out your personal piece de resistance? All it takes is a little thought and (perhaps) a little practice. Four steps to finding your signature sex move: . Step 1: Decide what you're best at . The trick is to focus on whatever sex act you enjoy the most. If you like doing something, you're usually good at it – and if you're good at something, you usually enjoy it. So you can't really go wrong if you stick to this simple rule. If you could cheerfully massage all day long, for instance, there's your starting point. Teach yourself some sensual massage techniques, top the whole delicious experience off with some erotic genital massage and there you have it: a mind-blowing move they won't forget in a hurry. Step 2: Tap into your talent . Tracey says the best way to find out how your move is received is to practice it . Decided on an area you think holds promise? Try out a few different techniques before deciding on one to concentrate on. For the sake of this exercise, let's say you've decided to become the absolute master/mistress of oral sex. The next time you do it, ask for a running commentary of how different techniques feel. Get them to rate each and everything you do on a scale of 1-10. What happens when you focus on this part? What about that one? Now alter the pressure, carefully noting whether you're going up or down in the ratings game. What about in slow motion? Speeded up? Yes, it does take a few sessions to try it all out but I can't see your partner complaining, can you? Step 3: Ask around . Think you've found an erotic innovation that's uniquely yours? Do a quick survey of all your friends, go online (or watch all the old Sex and The City episodes) to find out how common it is and how well it's likely to be received. No need to confess what you're up to, just wait till everyone's had a couple and start a general conversation about what you want to be expert in. Say you read some quirky fact about it online (make it up!) and ask what they think is the best tip they've ever done/heard of? Make sure you ask a mix of same and opposite sex friends to get both perspectives. Step 4: Try it out! Let all the hints, tricks, tips and research merge into one spectacular sex session with your Iucky-lucky-lucky partner. At first, concentrate hard on combining everything you've learned, but once you're in the swing, relax into it and let your gut instinct guide you. After all, you chose this because you LIKE doing it, remember? Sneak a peek to see how they're enjoying the sensation. If you've done your homework and research, there's only one thing you'll see - utter ecstasy! Only one thing left to do now: give yourself a big pat on the back!

Their nannying job entails keeping the babies clean, giving them bottles of milk, and keeping them busy so they don't misbehave. So far, so ordinary, but these nannies don't have any ordinary charges; their job is to look after and help raise orphaned baby elephants at Knysna Elephant Park in South Africa. The young women who do this are British volunteers who have given up their time to help provide 24-hour care to the young elephants who have been abandoned by their mothers. Scroll down for video .

The volunteers work at the elephant park which is home to a semi-captive population of elephants, most of which have either been orphaned or rescued from abusive circumstances. Many of the baby elephants they have to look after are in the first few weeks of their life, and so despite weighing around 13 stone, need 24-hour care to ensure they eat enough and are reassured and happy after being rejected by their mothers. This means the elephant nannies develop a strong bond with their charges. Miss Hearn, a zoology graduate, was supposed to be at the park for six months 'but just never left' and has now been there 18 months.

Miss Hearn added: 'It's not uncommon in the wild for first-time mums to reject their babies but usually the matriarchs and older females will pick up the baby and present it to the mother. 'But in this kind of environment [semi-captive population] it's quite difficult to do that.'

The elephant nannies have to ensure the newborn babies drink two litres of vitamin-enriched milk every two hours . The British volunteers have to give round-the-clock care to the babies, many of whom have been rejected by their mothers . The nannies must also ensure the babies are kept warm with a blanket during cold periods, provide fresh sawdust and a mattress in their sleeping pens, and help teach them about the world. Lisa Olivier said: 'They're such social animals and they learn through social learning so they're always busy, and they always need to be kept occupied. 'That's how they learn about the world and how to live the next 60-70 years.' Volunteers Melissa Dora, 25, from London, and Paige White, 21, from Bristol, take it in three-hour shifts through the night to comfort and reassure their baby elephants. Mrs Olivier, who is also researching for a PHD into elephant behaviour, said: 'Obviously they can't be with their mother at the moment and it's their mother who would comfort them if they woke up and got scared.

By . Anna Edwards . PUBLISHED: . 00:32 EST, 2 August 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 04:37 EST, 2 August 2013 . The cost of the PPI mis-selling scandal is now more than double that of the Olympic Games, after Lloyds became the latest bank to announce it is putting more cash aside to deal with compensation claims. Consumer group Which? claimed a 'staggering' £18.4 billion has now been set aside across the industry to tackle the ongoing surge in PPI complaints, eclipsing the £8.9 billion cost of the Olympics. Lloyds has put aside another £450 million to cover compensation for mis-selling, bringing its total bill to £7.3 billion. Lloyds has put aside another £450 million to cover compensation for mis-selling, bringing its total bill to £7.3 billion . Antonio Horta-Osorio, group chief executive, said the bank is working to 'ensure our customers' complaints are addressed efficiently and fairly'. However, Which? raised concerns over a 'noticeable drop' in uphold rates of PPI-related complaints made to Lloyds Banking Group by consumers. Less than half (43 per cent) of these types of complaint were upheld across the group in the second half of 2012, compared with 87 per cent in the same period a year earlier. The Financial Ombudsman Service, which resolves disputes when customers are unable to come to an agreement with their bank, upheld 86 per cent of PPI-related complaints made about Lloyds TSB in the second half of last year. Which? claimed a 'staggering' £18.4 billion has now been set aside across the industry to tackle the ongoing surge in PPI complaints, eclipsing the £8.9 billion cost of the Olympics . Which? executive director Richard Lloyd . said: 'It is staggering that the cost of the PPI mis-selling scandal now . stands at more than double the cost of the Olympic Games. 'We have repeatedly raised concerns with . the banks, regulators and Financial Ombudsman Service about the . worrying variation in quality of PPI complaint handling.' PPI is the insurance sold alongside credit cards, loans and other finance agreements to insure payments are made if the borrower is unable to make them due to sickness or unemployment. But high numbers of policyholders found that the insurance was useless to them because they are illegible to claim, for example if they are self-employed or over 65 years of age. Critics claimed the banking industry began aggressively selling PPI to customers after realising that the policies were highly profitable. The Financial Services Authority said sorting out PPI was one of its priorities in 2005 when it took over the task of regulating the general insurance industry. The FSA began imposing fines for PPI mis-selling in 2006 before banning one of the worst types of PPI in 2009 – 'single premium' – which was sold to mortgage-buyers and added to their total loan at the start. The Office for Fair Trading became involved in 2007 and referred PPI to the Competition Commission. The PPI scandal escalated in 2008, after Which? reported that one in three PPI customers had been sold 'worthless' insurance. Thousands of consumers then tried to claim compensation for being mis-sold the insurance but the majority were protected. The FSA then brought in stricter rules for PPI sales. The banking industry tried to argue these standards couldn't be imposed retrospectively but lost its High Court battle. Banks have now set aside millions to cover compensation for PPI mis-selling claims. Lloyds customers who have seen their . PPI claims rejected were recently urged by consumer campaigners to fight . on for compensation after an undercover investigation into the bank by . The Times found evidence of failures in processing complaints. Lloyds said at the time that it had taken immediate action and it believed the comments noted by the newspaper to be isolated. Lloyds said today that PPI complaints now account for a smaller proportion of complaints received by the group. Some 81 per cent of complaints it receives are about PPI, edging down from 86 per cent in the second half of last year. It said in a statement: 'The group continues to proactively manage the issue of PPI complaints in order that customers can receive redress if they have been mis-sold. 'This is an ongoing process and we will continue to review all claims in an in-depth manner that produces fair outcomes for customers.'

UPDATED: . 04:37 EST, 2 August 2013 . The cost of the PPI mis-selling scandal is now more than double that of the Olympic Games, after Lloyds became the latest bank to announce it is putting more cash aside to deal with compensation claims. Consumer group Which? claimed a 'staggering' £18.4 billion has now been set aside across the industry to tackle the ongoing surge in PPI complaints, eclipsing the £8.9 billion cost of the Olympics. Lloyds has put aside another £450 million to cover compensation for mis-selling, bringing its total bill to £7.3 billion. Lloyds has put aside another £450 million to cover compensation for mis-selling, bringing its total bill to £7.3 billion . Antonio Horta-Osorio, group chief executive, said the bank is working to 'ensure our customers' complaints are addressed efficiently and fairly'. However, Which? raised concerns over a 'noticeable drop' in uphold rates of PPI-related complaints made to Lloyds Banking Group by consumers. Less than half (43 per cent) of these types of complaint were upheld across the group in the second half of 2012, compared with 87 per cent in the same period a year earlier. The Financial Ombudsman Service, which resolves disputes when customers are unable to come to an agreement with their bank, upheld 86 per cent of PPI-related complaints made about Lloyds TSB in the second half of last year. Which? claimed a 'staggering' £18.4 billion has now been set aside across the industry to tackle the ongoing surge in PPI complaints, eclipsing the £8.9 billion cost of the Olympics . Which? executive director Richard Lloyd . said: 'It is staggering that the cost of the PPI mis-selling scandal now . stands at more than double the cost of the Olympic Games. 'We have repeatedly raised concerns with . the banks, regulators and Financial Ombudsman Service about the . worrying variation in quality of PPI complaint handling.' PPI is the insurance sold alongside credit cards, loans and other finance agreements to insure payments are made if the borrower is unable to make them due to sickness or unemployment. But high numbers of policyholders found that the insurance was useless to them because they are illegible to claim, for example if they are self-employed or over 65 years of age. Critics claimed the banking industry began aggressively selling PPI to customers after realising that the policies were highly profitable. The Financial Services Authority said sorting out PPI was one of its priorities in 2005 when it took over the task of regulating the general insurance industry. The FSA began imposing fines for PPI mis-selling in 2006 before banning one of the worst types of PPI in 2009 – 'single premium' – which was sold to mortgage-buyers and added to their total loan at the start. The Office for Fair Trading became involved in 2007 and referred PPI to the Competition Commission. The PPI scandal escalated in 2008, after Which? reported that one in three PPI customers had been sold 'worthless' insurance. Thousands of consumers then tried to claim compensation for being mis-sold the insurance but the majority were protected. The FSA then brought in stricter rules for PPI sales. The banking industry tried to argue these standards couldn't be imposed retrospectively but lost its High Court battle. Banks have now set aside millions to cover compensation for PPI mis-selling claims. Lloyds customers who have seen their . PPI claims rejected were recently urged by consumer campaigners to fight . on for compensation after an undercover investigation into the bank by . The Times found evidence of failures in processing complaints. Lloyds said at the time that it had taken immediate action and it believed the comments noted by the newspaper to be isolated. Lloyds said today that PPI complaints now account for a smaller proportion of complaints received by the group. Some 81 per cent of complaints it receives are about PPI, edging down from 86 per cent in the second half of last year. It said in a statement: 'The group continues to proactively manage the issue of PPI complaints in order that customers can receive redress if they have been mis-sold. 'This is an ongoing process and we will continue to review all claims in an in-depth manner that produces fair outcomes for customers.'

Armstrong Desvallons, of Terrytown, learned his fate Tuesday after admitting that he practiced WWE-style moves on 5-year-old Viloude Louis while babysitting her in June. The toddler died from internal bleeding and lacerations to her liver after being body-slammed and elbowed in the chest about 20 times by her older half-brother, according to prosecutors. Justice: Viloude Louis' stepbrother Armstrong Desvallons was sentenced to three years in a juvenile center for the June death of the 5-year-old girl . Desvallons pleaded guilty to negligent homicide in November. He is expected to get psychological treatment and education programming while staying at the secure facility. He could be released earlier than three years depending on his progress. During his sentencing at Jefferson Parish Juvenile Court, members of the Marrero Seventh-Day Adventist Church where the Desvallons family worshiped described the 13-year-old as a good kid and asked the judge to release him into their probationary custody. However, Armstrong's own stepfather, Vilger Louis, insisted that he was disrespectful and would repeat the actions that resulted in his sister’s death given the chance. 'I don’t think you are going to give Armstrong license to go out there and kill somebody again,' Mr Louis, who was Viloude's biological father, told the judge, according to The Advocate.

(CNN) -- A University of Pittsburgh research professor accused of killing his wife with a lethal dose of cyanide pleaded not guilty Tuesday, according to Mike Manko, spokesman for the Allegheny County District Attorney's office. Robert Ferrante was extradited from West Virginia to Allegheny County Jail in Pennsylvania on Tuesday morning, where he later appeared via video conference at his arraignment, according to the Allegheny County district attorney's office. The arraignment lasted only five minutes. Ferrante pleaded not guilty in the death of his wife, Autumn Klein, 41, former head of women's neurology at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, according to the district attorney's office. Several preliminary hearing dates have been set for early next month regarding the custody of Ferrante and Klein's 6-year-old daughter, Cianna, who is in the care of her maternal grandparents, the district attorney's office said. Hearings have also been set regarding Ferrante's assets. Before his arrest on July 25, Ferrante was a researcher and professor of neurological surgery at the University of Pittsburgh. Part of his job included managing a laboratory where he conducted clinical trials using various drugs and chemicals, according to a criminal complaint. Several text messages sent between the couple before Klein's death in April suggest that Ferrante urged Klein to try using creatine to get help her get pregnant, according to the complaint. CNN Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen reports that some people use creatine to build up muscle and may have some medicinal value, but that there is no connection between increased fertility and creatine use. A source close to the case told CNN: "One of the theories the prosecution will work off of is that the cyanide was mixed with the creatine that Ferrante was urging his wife to take." One day before Klein fell ill, Ferrante had used his University of Pittsburgh credit card to place an overnight order for more than a half a pound of cyanide. At the time the order was placed, there were no active projects at Ferrante's lab that involved the use of cyanide, according to the complaint. Cyanide is a naturally occurring toxic substance that can be found in seeds of various plants. It is widely distributed throughout research laboratories as a chemical used in scientific experiments. Cyanide interferes with the ability of the body to use oxygen to produce energy, which can lead to rapid death. "Cyanide in low doses will make you dizzy, you'll start breathing rapidly, but if you get it in big doses, it can actually make you stop breathing and that's what kills you," Cohen said. On April 17, Allegheny County 911 dispatch received a call from Ferrante requesting medical assistance for his wife, who he said was possibly having a stroke, the complaint read. He described her condition as "conscious and breathing, but not alert." When paramedics arrived, they found Klein on the floor of the kitchen with a plastic bag containing creatine. Klein died on April 20. In a statement made to detectives shortly after being informed of Klein's death because of cyanide poisoning, Ferrante said, "Why would she do that to herself? Who would do this to her?" according to the complaint. A neighbor of the couple told CNN on Tuesday that nothing seemed amiss to her. "I've never seen anything to suggest they were anything but a happy couple with a beautiful little girl," Blithe Runsdorf said. She said the family had just gotten back from a trip to Puerto Rico and that they had never seemed happier. Runsdorf added that after his wife's death, Ferrante "acted like a guy who had everything pulled out from under him." Ferrante's defense attorney, William Difenderfer, told CNN Tuesday that his client is "devastated not only for losing his wife but being accused of it." After a nationwide manhunt, Ferrante was arrested on July 25 in West Virginia. He has also been placed on immediate and indefinite leave, according to University of Pittsburgh spokesman John Andrew Fedele. Ferrante will appear in Allegheny County Court on September 23 for a preliminary hearing regarding the criminal homicide case. Another neighbor to the couple said the community is concerned about the welfare of the couple's daughter, whom he described as "essentially an orphan now." The neighbor said it was "no secret" in the neighborhood that Klein wanted to have another baby. However, Klein told the neighbor's wife that Ferrante did not want another child, said the neighbor, who asked not to be identified. He called the whole situation "a tremendous shock" and added that this was not the kind of case where someone could say, "Oh, there was a lot of fighting." He said he was aware of none of that. He described the couple as "dedicated and hard-working" and their daughter as "bubbly." "They were hustling and trying to manage a family and the demands of the American Dream," the neighbor said. Allison Malloy, Poppy Harlow, Sho Wills, Erinn Cawthon and Dominique Debucquoy-Dodley contributed to this report.

By . Anna Edwards . PUBLISHED: . 11:18 EST, 28 August 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 03:11 EST, 29 August 2012 . Sir Richard Branson last night launched a dramatic court bid to prevent the Government stripping him of his lucrative  rail franchise. The Virgin boss is seeking a judicial review of the decision to hand a 13-year franchise to run the West Coast Main Line to rival First Group, which bid £2billion more. His move came just hours before Transport Secretary Justine Greening was due to formally sign off the deal with FirstGroup. Scroll down for video . Blow: Sir Richard Branson's train company has lost its West Coast franchise but vowed yesterday to run it for free if Labour manages to halt the contract being signed by FirstGroup tomorrow . Miss Greening last night indicated the court action was likely to delay the signing, at least temporarily. Sir Richard branded the Government’s . decision this month ‘insane’, claiming First Group bid too much and will . either pull out of the franchise early or go bust. The billionaire entrepreneur appealed . to David Cameron to intervene, and called for the contract to be . examined by MPs. Miss Greening yesterday insisted the process had been . ‘fair’. Yesterday Virgin Trains, which has operated the West Coast line since 1997, said the procurement process had ‘ignored substantial risks to taxpayers’. On the legal challenge, FirstGroup . said: ‘There has been no complaint about the process, which was . carefully described in advance, until Virgin Rail Group had lost.’ Following the West Coast decision by the Department for Transport (DfT), Transport Secretary Justine Greening had been due to sign off the contract this week. Virgin is now hoping that its legal challenge will delay the signing. In the past few days, Labour and members of the House of Commons Transport Committee said they hoped the final signing could be deferred until the matter could be debated in Parliament. FirstGroup Chief Executive Tim O'Toole insists the company will deliver on its winning bid . The business magnate has repeatedly expressed concerns that FirstGroup would not be able to live up to its financial and service-providing targets for West Coast. The tycoon said: 'We had hoped that Parliament or an external review would be able to scrutinise this badly-flawed process before the franchise was signed.' In a statement, Virgin said yesterday: 'Virgin Trains Limited (VTL) has yesterday commenced court proceedings in respect of the decision to award the West Coast Main Line franchise to FirstGroup. 'We have tried for three weeks to get clarity over the DfT’s decision and to have a number of key questions answered. On each occasion we have been refused information. 'We are left with no choice but to commence court proceedings as we believe the procurement process has ignored the substantial risks to taxpayers and customers of delivering FirstGroup’s bid over the course of the franchise.' Virgin went on: 'In addition it (the process) has ignored the DfT’s own assessment that VTL’s bid was more deliverable and a lower risk. We question whether FirstGroup’s bid has been correctly risk adjusted by the department given all of its supposed incremental value is delivered after 2022. 'The current process is geared to selecting the highest risk bid and needs to be independently audited to prevent a repeat of former franchise failures.' The billionaire said hopes of a Parliamentary or external review would be denied 'if the DfT follows through with its determination to rush through the process before Parliament returns next week'. He added that signing off the franchise now 'ignores the wishes of more than 150,000 people who signed the Downing Street e-petition in 10 days, the Labour Opposition, two important Commons committees and many backbench Conservative MPs who wanted a debate before the decision is taken, not a post-mortem afterwards'. Sir Richard said: 'We have not taken this decision lightly, but it is the only course now available to try to unravel this sorry process.' Virgin Rail has lost its West Coast main line franchise to transport company FirstGroup, in a bidding war which Sir Richard branded 'insane' Such is his desperation for the . decision to be reviewed, the Virgin boss made an offer to run the West . Coast Main Line for free, allowing Parliament time to scrutinise the . decision, which the Virgin boss calls 'outrageous', to award the . franchise to rival FirstGroup. He has claimed that FirstGroup's bid . will lead to 'almost certain bankruptcy' and made the last-ditch appeal . to the Government to delay signing the 13-year contract on Tuesday. He said Virgin Trains and Stagecoach . would operate the joint venture on a not-for-profit basis or donate . profits to charity if the franchise needed to be extended beyond . December for a few months to allow Parliament to investigate the . decision. Transport Secretary Justine Greening had been due to sign off the contract this week . Responding to news of the legal challenge, FirstGroup said yesterday: 'We have every confidence in the DfT’s process which is rigorous, detailed and fair and in which bids are thoroughly tested. There has been no complaint about the process, which was carefully described in advance, until Virgin Rail Group had lost commercially.' FirstGroup went on: 'Our plans for the new InterCity West Coast franchise include faster journeys, new trains, more seats and more direct services from London than currently on offer. 'There will be improved wifi, better catering, refurbished stations and standard anytime fares will be reduced by 15% on average within the first two years. We look forward to welcoming passengers to their new and exciting InterCity West Coast service in December and creating a better railway for all. 'Our focus is to ensure a smooth transition with continuity for staff and passengers alike. We want to get on with delivering the many benefits and improvements we are offering without delay or disruption. We will continue to prepare for a successful start up of the new franchise on December 9.' The new West Coast franchise will last for 13 years and four months, with an option to extend to a total of 15 years. Last year, Virgin, which more than doubled annual passenger numbers during its 15-year stewardship of the line, paid a £168 million premium to the Government on West Coast. The FirstGroup bid is worth £5.5 billion at net present value, with Virgin believed to have bid £4.8 billion. FirstGroup’s annual premiums will grow steadily over the course of its franchise. Sir Richard fears that FirstGroup will run into financial difficulties in the same way that two former operators of the East Coast main line - GNER and National Express - did. He said that for Virgin to have bid more on West Coast 'would have involved dramatic cuts to customer quality and considerable fare rises which we were unwilling to entertain'.

The billionaire entrepreneur appealed . to David Cameron to intervene, and called for the contract to be . examined by MPs. Miss Greening yesterday insisted the process had been . ‘fair’. Yesterday Virgin Trains, which has operated the West Coast line since 1997, said the procurement process had ‘ignored substantial risks to taxpayers’. On the legal challenge, FirstGroup . said: ‘There has been no complaint about the process, which was . carefully described in advance, until Virgin Rail Group had lost.’ Following the West Coast decision by the Department for Transport (DfT), Transport Secretary Justine Greening had been due to sign off the contract this week. Virgin is now hoping that its legal challenge will delay the signing. In the past few days, Labour and members of the House of Commons Transport Committee said they hoped the final signing could be deferred until the matter could be debated in Parliament. FirstGroup Chief Executive Tim O'Toole insists the company will deliver on its winning bid . The business magnate has repeatedly expressed concerns that FirstGroup would not be able to live up to its financial and service-providing targets for West Coast. The tycoon said: 'We had hoped that Parliament or an external review would be able to scrutinise this badly-flawed process before the franchise was signed.' In a statement, Virgin said yesterday: 'Virgin Trains Limited (VTL) has yesterday commenced court proceedings in respect of the decision to award the West Coast Main Line franchise to FirstGroup. 'We have tried for three weeks to get clarity over the DfT’s decision and to have a number of key questions answered. On each occasion we have been refused information. 'We are left with no choice but to commence court proceedings as we believe the procurement process has ignored the substantial risks to taxpayers and customers of delivering FirstGroup’s bid over the course of the franchise.' Virgin went on: 'In addition it (the process) has ignored the DfT’s own assessment that VTL’s bid was more deliverable and a lower risk. We question whether FirstGroup’s bid has been correctly risk adjusted by the department given all of its supposed incremental value is delivered after 2022. 'The current process is geared to selecting the highest risk bid and needs to be independently audited to prevent a repeat of former franchise failures.' The billionaire said hopes of a Parliamentary or external review would be denied 'if the DfT follows through with its determination to rush through the process before Parliament returns next week'. He added that signing off the franchise now 'ignores the wishes of more than 150,000 people who signed the Downing Street e-petition in 10 days, the Labour Opposition, two important Commons committees and many backbench Conservative MPs who wanted a debate before the decision is taken, not a post-mortem afterwards'. Sir Richard said: 'We have not taken this decision lightly, but it is the only course now available to try to unravel this sorry process.' Virgin Rail has lost its West Coast main line franchise to transport company FirstGroup, in a bidding war which Sir Richard branded 'insane' Such is his desperation for the . decision to be reviewed, the Virgin boss made an offer to run the West . Coast Main Line for free, allowing Parliament time to scrutinise the . decision, which the Virgin boss calls 'outrageous', to award the . franchise to rival FirstGroup. He has claimed that FirstGroup's bid . will lead to 'almost certain bankruptcy' and made the last-ditch appeal . to the Government to delay signing the 13-year contract on Tuesday. He said Virgin Trains and Stagecoach . would operate the joint venture on a not-for-profit basis or donate . profits to charity if the franchise needed to be extended beyond . December for a few months to allow Parliament to investigate the . decision. Transport Secretary Justine Greening had been due to sign off the contract this week . Responding to news of the legal challenge, FirstGroup said yesterday: 'We have every confidence in the DfT’s process which is rigorous, detailed and fair and in which bids are thoroughly tested. There has been no complaint about the process, which was carefully described in advance, until Virgin Rail Group had lost commercially.' FirstGroup went on: 'Our plans for the new InterCity West Coast franchise include faster journeys, new trains, more seats and more direct services from London than currently on offer. 'There will be improved wifi, better catering, refurbished stations and standard anytime fares will be reduced by 15% on average within the first two years. We look forward to welcoming passengers to their new and exciting InterCity West Coast service in December and creating a better railway for all. 'Our focus is to ensure a smooth transition with continuity for staff and passengers alike. We want to get on with delivering the many benefits and improvements we are offering without delay or disruption. We will continue to prepare for a successful start up of the new franchise on December 9.' The new West Coast franchise will last for 13 years and four months, with an option to extend to a total of 15 years. Last year, Virgin, which more than doubled annual passenger numbers during its 15-year stewardship of the line, paid a £168 million premium to the Government on West Coast. The FirstGroup bid is worth £5.5 billion at net present value, with Virgin believed to have bid £4.8 billion. FirstGroup’s annual premiums will grow steadily over the course of its franchise. Sir Richard fears that FirstGroup will run into financial difficulties in the same way that two former operators of the East Coast main line - GNER and National Express - did. He said that for Virgin to have bid more on West Coast 'would have involved dramatic cuts to customer quality and considerable fare rises which we were unwilling to entertain'.

THE GOLDEN AGE OF PANTOMIME : SLAPSTICK, SPECTACLE AND SUBVERSION in Victorian England by Jeffrey Richards (I. B. Tauris £25) Often, I wonder what foreigners must think of us come Christmas time? The pantomime tradition is so wonderfully and eccentrically uniquely British. The daft catchphrases (‘It’s behind you!’; ‘Oh no it isn’t’; ‘Oh yes it is!’), the oo-err-missus vulgarity of frilly knickers and bras made of colanders, the ugly, old blokes playing women, the girls in tights playing chaps, the cows and horses, which are evidently two people in a silly costume. The whole thing is topsy-turvy and corny, and yet even illustrious thespians like Sir Ian McKellen can’t wait to show the public his Widow Twankey. I think he played Widow Twankey before he played King Lear, which gives you an idea of his priorities. Deliberately uncool, pantomime expresses our nutty national temperament . Deliberately uncool, pantomime expresses our nutty national temperament. As Richards says in this unnecessarily sombre tome, pantomime always revolved around slapstick, gender role reversal and topical allusion. The latter is what is lost to us — Victorian jokes about Captain Webb (the first person to swim the Channel) are on the obscure side now. The first thing Queen Victoria did after her Coronation in 1839 was visit the pantomime in Drury Lane, thus making the entertainment ‘one of the most popular exhibitions of our metropolis’, according to contemporary reports. The whole thing is topsy-turvy and corny, and yet even illustrious thespians like Sir Ian McKellen can’t wait to show the public his Widow Twankey . Later, there would be many Command Performances at Windsor Castle, culminating in 1941 when Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret Rose starred in their own production of Cinderella, with the band of the Royal Horse Guards providing music. Panto in the 19th century soon belonged with ‘cards and carols, turkey and plum pudding, presents and family gatherings’ in the pantheon of a traditional Christmas. Dickens was besotted by the ‘poetry, the lights, the music, the smooth, stupendous changes of glittering and brilliant scenery’. There was much boisterous physical action deriving from the circus — brutal horseplay based on Punch and Judy puppets battering wives and beating babies. Joseph Grimaldi made fun of binge-drinking, gambling and knavery, ‘holding authority up to ridicule’ by picking pockets, or pilfering legs of mutton. Audiences grew hysterical if a policeman had his helmet knocked over his eyes — Chaplin perpetuated all this in his silent movies, and the anarchic links with music hall were to continue with the Goons, the Pythons and the Carry On team. I agree with Richards that a clown’s jokes are based on cruelty. I always much prefer the comic dame, a role played by male actors since Regency times. The performer is clearly a man dressed as an absurd and ugly woman. Les Dawson was a genius as Widow Twankey; today’s maestro is former Coronation Street actor Eric Potts, whose mountainous Sarah the Cook appears this year at the Bristol Hippodrome, co-starring with Britain’s Got Talent winners Ashleigh and Pudsey. Opposite the dame was always the Principal Boy, played by a lissom lass, ‘ample-bosomed, small-waisted and with thighs — oh, such thighs! — thighs that shone and glittered in different-coloured tights’. Steady on, professor! The Queen was always the Principal Boy in Windsor. But even as an impressionable child, I remember Anita Harris smacking her own rounded limbs with a riding crop and lamenting that she was already 50 miles from London and still there’d been ‘no sign of Dick’ — Dick Whittington, she meant. Bawdy innuendo was essential and, in Victorian days, as today (unless the politically-correct patrol have put a stop to it), everyone liked to see the chorus high-kicking and displaying ‘amber silk drawers’ or Union Jack knickers. Plots have always been based on classical myths, fairytales and legends: Robinson Crusoe, Aladdin and Dick Whittington have long been favourites, allowing ample scope for such stock characters as abominable uncles, misers, barons or bailiffs, wicked stepmothers, bankrupt widows, plus wholesome heroes and princes, who embark on quests or are set tests, winning through by using their wits and strength. Pantomime always revolved around slapstick, gender role reversal and topical allusion . They also utilise supernatural aid, represented by the genie of the lamp or a fairy godmother, roles taken today by the likes of Britt Ekland or Barbara Windsor. Indeed, TV veterans and movie has-beens often tread the boards at Christmas. Jerry Hall is a Wicked Witch in Richmond this season; David Hasselhoff is usually at large somewhere as Captain Hook. I once saw the elderly Anna Neagle waving a wand. As a child, I saw Bernard Bresslaw and Victor Spinetti giving their Abanazars, whipping up a storm of booing from the audience. I met the latter years later and told him he was a bigger ham than Laurence Olivier. Spinetti told me that when Olivier dressed up as Father Christmas for a National Theatre party, the tots present screamed with terror — Olivier played Santa as Richard III. Playing Widow Twankey in a pantomime has been a priority for many performers . The Victorians also mastered stage illusion, utilising magic lanterns, kaleidoscopes, gaslight and stained glass to create ‘elaborate mechanical effects’. Cinderella’s coach, complete with Shetland ponies, was always a set-piece, as was Aladdin’s treasure-cave. What audiences particularly applauded were the transformation scenes, when ‘the glitter of tinselled pasteboard’ turned swamps or the murk of London, before the spectators’ very eyes, into paradise gardens: ‘vistas of flowers and tall, crystal columns ranged in avenues’. This happens today — I’ve known Buttons and Prince Charming nip backstage for a fag break, so that the audience can don 3D specs and watch computerised sea-monsters swimming around in front of their faces. Pantos also utilise supernatural aid, represented by the genie of the lamp or a fairy godmother, roles taken today by the likes of Barbara Windsor . In the century before foreign travel, what panto provided on stage was a vision of abroad — fantasy foreign realms, ‘all the gorgeousness of the East’, which was fast becoming part of Victoria’s Empire. It didn’t come cheap. A Christmas panto might cost £6,000 (£680,000 in today’s money) to mount, though profits of £25,000 (£4.5 million today) could accrue. Eight hundred people were involved, on stage or behind the scenes, particularly troupes of children, dozens in each show, dancing and playing pixies, elves, squirrels, or monkeys. Incredible as it may sound, Richards says an estimated 10,000 children were employed during the pantomime season in London and up and down the country. Until Acts of Parliament in 1879, no particular thought was given to their welfare. Such moppets were never educated — indeed, they were maltreated, and the reformer Lord Shaftesbury thundered against the plight of ‘pantomime waifs’, who suffered ‘physically and morally for no purpose other than to administer to the pernicious amusement of the populace’. I’m old enough to remember celebrity dwarves and midgets like Wee Georgie Wood and Jimmy Clitheroe. I found them dead creepy, actually, yet in typically fascinating detail, Richards says the character of Tom Thumb was a Victorian hero, rather than outcast. Competitive auditions were fierce. The character would be obliged to fall in a honey pot, be carried off in a bag of gold, be devoured and disgorged by a cow, carried into the air by a crow, swallowed by a giant, found in a salmon, drowned in a punch-bowl, and ended up ‘at King Arthur’s court riding on a mouse.’ Beat that, Ashleigh and Pudsey.
Deliberately uncool, pantomime expresses our nutty national temperament . The whole thing is topsy-turvy and corny . Yet even illustrious thespians like Sir Ian McKellen can’t wait to show the public his Widow Twankey .

(EW.com) -- "Holler If Ya Hear Me," a new musical featuring the music of rapper Tupac Shakur, will open on Broadway at the Palace on June 19. Preview performances for the brand-new show begin May 26. Casting for the show has not yet been announced. Written by Todd Kreidler and directed by Tony nominee Kenny Leon (who will also direct Denzel Washington in this season's forthcoming "A Raisin in the Sun" revival), "Holler If Ya Hear Me" is an original, non-biographical story about two friends in the inner-city in the Midwest. Keep ya head up! Tupac Shakur musical could be headed to Broadway . For what it's worth, the musical takes its title from an autobiographical song by the late rapper off his second solo album, released in 1993. In the music video, a girl witnesses her father's death, finds money to buy a gun, and subsequently rallies her young friends to ostensibly avenge his death. The show does not purport to tell the story of Tupac Shakur, but will use his poetic music and lyrics to offer "a window into the realities of the streets still relevant today." James Franco, Chris O'Dowd in 'Of Mice and Men': See the poster . The packed design team includes choreographer Wayne Cilento, set designer David Gallo, costumer Reggie Ray, and lighting designer Mike Baldassari. Shakur's mother, Afeni, will serve as one of the show's producers. See the original story at EW.com.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal believes English football’s tradition of playing back to back games over Christmas and New Year is in danger of damaging the image of the Barclays Premier League. Van Gaal’s United team looked like a team badly in need of a rest as they struggled to break down Tottenham on Sunday and are now preparing for vital games at Stoke City on New Year’s Day and in the FA Cup at Yeovil on Sunday. The Dutch veteran understands that his rivals at the top end of the Premier League have the same problems but claimed on Tuesday that the English way has a direct and negative impact on the football that is shown all around the world at this time of year. VIDEOS Scroll down to watch . Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal speaks during a press conference on Tuesday . A frustrated Van Gaal makes a point to the fourth official during the match at White Hart Lane on Sunday . Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris makes himself big to deny Robin van Persie during the goalless draw . Van Gaal said: 'Everybody knows that a body cannot recover within 48 hours. 'Therefore, there is a rule at UEFA and FIFA that you cannot play the games so close. Okay, that I have said. 'That’s scientifically proven, I have said that also. 'Everybody knows that and in spite of that, we have to play. 'It’s the culture of England. I don’t mind but it is not good for the players, for the health of the players and what I say now is it is not good for the game because I think that the FA, but also the fans, want attractive games. 'But it doesn’t happen. 'You have seen the second half at Tottenham. You have seen the second half of Chelsea against Southampton. 'The football was not good.” With United encouraged by the fact that neither Chelsea or Manchester City managed to better their own draw at the weekend, Van Gaal believes there is better to come for his improving team. Van Gaal gives a wry smile as he speaks to the press at United's Aon Training Complex on Tuesday . Key players such as Anders Herrera and Angel di Maria are not yet ready to return but defenders Chris Smalling, Rafael da Silva and Luke Shaw are available for starting berths now. Van Gaal added: 'I think we are still in a process. I think everyone can see that we are improving every week in spite of a lot of injuries, and that’s because of the philosophy. 'I think the players understand the philosophy, and that’s why we are improving – but we can improve more when we have all the players available. 'I think the fans were fantastic because we were in a moment with 11 matches and 13 points – that is not good, I think more weak than good. 'In spite of that, the fans have supported us always and in the right way. I want to thank the fans for that. Robin van Persie (right) celebrates his goal with team-mates during Manchester United's win against Newcastle at Old Trafford on Boxing Day . 'I think we can be satisfied about the points now – 36 points. We are in our goal, I think. 'What I have already said, we are improving every week. We can see 2015 with open eyes.' Van Gaal was also asked to reflect on his time at first six months in England and revealed that it had surpassed expectations. 'English life is fantastic because I have met only friendly people on the streets and in the restaurants where I come,' added Van Gaal. 'The food is fantastic because when I came to England everybody said the food is not good, but [it is] fantastic. 'Also, the wine list is fantastic. 'I have very nice neighbours; they are all older than me but very nice. I live in a surrounding environment [that is] fantastic.'
Louis van Gaal says the relentless fixture list is ruining the Barclays Premier League as a spectacle . United drew 0-0 with Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane on Sunday . The Old Trafford club travel to Stoke City on New Year's Day .

'Therefore, there is a rule at UEFA and FIFA that you cannot play the games so close. Okay, that I have said. 'That’s scientifically proven, I have said that also. 'Everybody knows that and in spite of that, we have to play. 'It’s the culture of England. I don’t mind but it is not good for the players, for the health of the players and what I say now is it is not good for the game because I think that the FA, but also the fans, want attractive games. 'But it doesn’t happen. 'You have seen the second half at Tottenham. You have seen the second half of Chelsea against Southampton. 'The football was not good.” With United encouraged by the fact that neither Chelsea or Manchester City managed to better their own draw at the weekend, Van Gaal believes there is better to come for his improving team. Van Gaal gives a wry smile as he speaks to the press at United's Aon Training Complex on Tuesday . Key players such as Anders Herrera and Angel di Maria are not yet ready to return but defenders Chris Smalling, Rafael da Silva and Luke Shaw are available for starting berths now. Van Gaal added: 'I think we are still in a process. I think everyone can see that we are improving every week in spite of a lot of injuries, and that’s because of the philosophy. 'I think the players understand the philosophy, and that’s why we are improving – but we can improve more when we have all the players available. 'I think the fans were fantastic because we were in a moment with 11 matches and 13 points – that is not good, I think more weak than good. 'In spite of that, the fans have supported us always and in the right way. I want to thank the fans for that. Robin van Persie (right) celebrates his goal with team-mates during Manchester United's win against Newcastle at Old Trafford on Boxing Day . 'I think we can be satisfied about the points now – 36 points. We are in our goal, I think. 'What I have already said, we are improving every week. We can see 2015 with open eyes.' Van Gaal was also asked to reflect on his time at first six months in England and revealed that it had surpassed expectations. 'English life is fantastic because I have met only friendly people on the streets and in the restaurants where I come,' added Van Gaal. 'The food is fantastic because when I came to England everybody said the food is not good, but [it is] fantastic. 'Also, the wine list is fantastic. 'I have very nice neighbours; they are all older than me but very nice. I live in a surrounding environment [that is] fantastic.'

(CNN)Virginia authorities on Friday said they have found no link between Jesse Matthew, suspected of killing college student Hannah Graham, and the abduction and slaying of a teenage girl in 2013. Matthew's arrest in October in the Graham case prompted authorities to investigate his possible links to a string of unsolved killings and disappearances in the area. One of those cases involved 17-year-old Alexis Murphy of Lovingston, Virginia, who disappeared in 2013 and whose body has not been found. Another man, Randy Taylor, was convicted of Murphy's abduction and murder, but after Matthew's arrest, Taylor's attorney asked that evidence in the case be re-examined to check for any links to Matthew. Friday, the top prosecutor in Nelson County, which includes Lovingston, said fresh DNA testing conducted by the FBI after the attorney's request excluded Matthew from evidence collected in the Murphy case. "Law enforcement affirms its earlier conclusion that there is no credible evidence linking Jesse Matthew to the abduction and murder of Alexis Murphy," Commonwealth's Attorney Anthony Martin said. Matthew is charged with abducting and killing Graham, a University of Virginia sophomore whose body was found in October, a month after she vanished after a night out near campus. He is also charged in the sexual assault of a woman in Fairfax, Virginia, in 2005; the trial in that case is scheduled for March. Authorities said that in September 2005, a 26-year-old woman returning from a grocery store was grabbed from behind and sexually assaulted. The attacker was scared off by a passerby. Information from the 2005 victim led police to link Matthew to the case of another missing young woman, Morgan Harrington, a Virginia Tech student who vanished in Charlottesville in October 2009 and was found dead a few months later. Matthew has not been charged in that case. Investigators are looking into his possible connection to other similar cases in the area. They include the August 2009 killing of Virginia Tech students Heidi Childs and David Metzler and the October 2009 killing of 23-year-old Cassandra Morton of Lynchburg, Virginia. Police are also investigating Matthew's possible ties to the disappearance of 19-year-old Samantha Ann Clarke of Orange, Virginia.

(CNN) -- Even as gaming begins to challenge television as a leading mass entertainment medium, the industry continues to struggle with the serialized model that's made broadcast programming a nightly must-see for many. But a new breed of episodic games, designed to be enjoyed in short, sequential spurts, is looking to make its mark on home entertainment -- one bite-sized, downloadable installment at a time. Phoenix Online Studios' "The Silver Lining," a free, fan-made tribute to Sierra's classic "King's Quest" fantasy adventures, kicks off July 10 for the PC. The classically styled "point-and click" puzzle-solving tale offers players the first chance to revisit with hero King Graham since 1998's middling "Mask of Eternity." Future episodes will also be complimentary and are due for release throughout 2010. But beyond the fact it's a homebrew labor of love that single-handedly resurrects a dormant cult classic, the title is also significant for several reasons. It points to growing signs of life for the once-popular adventure genre, which fell on hard times during the mid-'90s, following the rise of first-person shooters and action-oriented outings. Debuting with the approval of license holder Activision, the game also illustrates the potential ability of homebrew titles to rekindle public interest in even the hoariest old series. But most importantly, following other successful running properties such as "Sam & Max" and "Tales of Monkey Island" (other classic adventures enjoying an unexpected resurrection), it points to episodic games' growing viability in a digital world. "All platforms are now moving towards episodic content -- we're seeing it on the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, WiiWare and even the iPhone and iPad," says Cesar Bittar, producer/designer on "The Silver Lining." "Just like a TV show, it keeps you coming back. We feature a new setting in every episode, with new characters, new puzzles and new adventures, while at the same time moving forward the underlying plot that ties it all together." It also makes good business sense, explains Bjorn Larsson, CEO of Legendo Entertainment, whose episodic arcade air combat series "Pearl Harbor Trilogy" debuts for $7 on WiiWare as of July 5. "The episodic model allows us to charge less, focus on higher quality per title and better respond to player feedback between releases," he says. "With boxed products, it's either go big or go home -- there's no room for risk. Episodic lowers barriers to entry for both developers and customers, and lets game makers take more chances." But outside of a few breakout success stories such as "Half-Life 2: Episode 1," the field of episodic game publishing largely remains an unknown quantity. Several prominent earlier releases, including "American McGee's Grimm" and "Majestic," failed to attract a significant audience despite backing from Turner Broadcasting and Electronic Arts, respectively. But I'd argue that these titles predate streaming game delivery's rise to mainstream prominence and the economic downturn, which has forced value-minded shoppers to turn online for smaller, more affordable gaming experiences. With marquee outings such as "Sonic the Hedgehog 4" due for release in multiple chunks, and massive multiplayer online games already wooing fans with episodic updates, this approach may yet persevere. "Even blockbuster games are becoming more episodic in nature," says Larsson. "It just so happens that we call updates for titles like 'Grand Theft Auto IV' and 'Alan Wake' downloadable content (DLC) instead."

Secretary of State John Kerry has declared he believes a potential £3billion plan is emerging that could boost the Palestinian economy by up to 50 per cent in the next three years. It could also cut unemployment by almost two-thirds, and average wages could jump 40 per cent, he said. But Kerry said it all depends on parallel progress on peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Kerry has been working with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and global business leaders to devise economic plans to revitalise the Palestinian economy. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has said a potential £3billion plan is emerging that could expand the Palestinian economy . Kerry has been working with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair (pictured) and global business leaders to devise economic plans . He offered few specific details and acknowledged that his vision might easily be taken as fantasy in a part of the world that has suffered through decades of conflict, and where peace prospects remain dim. 'We know it can be done,' he insisted. 'This is a plan for the Palestinian economy that is bigger, bolder and more ambitious than anything proposed' in the last two decades. Kerry, outlining his hopes at a business conference on the Dead Sea in Jordan, was unsparing in his bold economic predictions: . - Palestinian agriculture production could double or triple . - Tourism could triple . - 100,000 new homes, many of them energy efficient, could be built in the next three years. Pictured here speaking at the World Economic Forum on the Middle East and North Africa at the King Hussein Convention Centre, near the Dead Sea, Kerry said tourism could triple in Palestine if the plan is a success . Kerry said 100,000 new homes could be built in the next three years in Palestine. Pictured here, a Palestinian youth throws a stone towards Israeli forces at the Qalandia checkpoint, in the Israeli occupied West Bank, Palestine . The former Massachusetts senator, who has been trying as well to restart direct Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, was to meet later Sunday in Amman with Blair, American hedge fund investor Tim Collins and the foreign ministers of Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. He said he has been coordinating with leading business experts around the world and that the plan would explore new opportunities in tourism, construction, light manufacturing, agriculture, energy and communications. 'Is this a fantasy?' Kerry asked the crowd. 'I don't think so, because there are already great examples of investment and entrepreneurship that are working in the West Bank. 'We know it can be done, but we've never experienced the kind of concentrated effort that this group is talking about bringing to the table.' He said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas support the plan, but he added that it won't truly take hold unless both sides make headway on restarting peace talks. Abbas also attended the conference in Jordan, as did Israeli President Shimon Peres, though they offered two starkly different messages on the peace impasse. The Palestinian leader spent much of the time criticizing Israeli intransigence, while the Israeli Nobel Peace Prize laureate pressed his government's view that negotiations should begin immediately without preconditions. Kerry allowed that barriers to commerce would have to be removed to spur economic growth. The Palestinians have long complained about limitations on movement and investment that have hampered its economic potential. Kerry has made four trips to Israel and the Palestinian territories over the last two months in an effort to rejuvenate the peace process. He hasn't made any tangible success so far but insists he is engaged in productive talks with both sides.

Lovelorn Prince Harry toured Elvis Presley’s Graceland to the sound of Heartbreak Hotel as it emerged he has shunned his hard-partying friends in a bid to win back Cressida Bonas. A sombre Harry, 29, refused to join in late-night high-jinks to celebrate the wedding of close pal Guy Pelly in Memphis this weekend. While others in the 150-strong party stayed up until 3am at Memphis’s five-star Peabody Hotel – at one point racing through the lobby slapping each other’s bottoms while clutching overflowing champagne glasses – an absent Harry remained resolutely out of public view. A sombre looking Prince Harry as he toured Graceland on Friday leading up to the wedding of close friend Guy Pelly . Cressida looking upset and casual as she walks through West London on Friday . Harry and William flew to America to be ushers at yesterday’s wedding of Guy Pelly to Memphis ‘society queen’ Lizzy Wilson. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were also guests. The Prince seemed ‘down in the dumps’ as he toured Elvis’s mansion on Friday, according to a guide who added: ‘He seemed quiet, a bit sad.’ Later on Friday night the two Princes attended a formal wedding rehearsal dinner, but while many in the group continued the party back at their hotel, Harry was a no-show. About 20 guests piled back to the bar around midnight and downed champagne cocktails and shots. At one point they raced through the lobby before posing for ‘selfies’. Harry and William flew to America to be ushers at yesterday’s wedding of Guy Pelly to Memphis ‘society queen’ Lizzy Wilson. Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie were also guests . One reveller wore a flashing lit-up hat. The festivities continued until the bar closed at 3am but Harry is thought to have retired hours earlier, much to the chagrin of some ‘Henry-ettas’ (as the Prince’s American fans dub themselves) waiting outside. One girl, called Rachel, said she had flown from California as soon as she heard the Prince was in Memphis. ‘I would follow him anywhere,’ she said, ‘but this time he has hardly been around.’ And on Thursday evening, too, Harry left the celebrations early. A source said: ‘Harry’s been keeping away from the cameras, sending a clear message to Cressie that he’s ready to commit to her and that she is wrong to doubt him.’

By . Sara Nelson . UPDATED: . 12:33 EST, 10 November 2011 . Thousands of Iraqi women and girls have been trafficked out of the country for sexual exploitation since the U.S. invasion in 2003 (file picture) Thousands of women and girls have been trafficked out of Iraq for sexual exploitation since the U.S. invasion in 2003. The findings, by the Social Change for Education in the Middle East (SCEME), say the victims are being transported to neigbouring Middle Eastern countries, most notably to Syria and Jordan, but also as far afield as Saudi Arabia and the UAE. A report entitled Karamatuna (Our Dignity) highlights the plight of young Iraqi refugee women and girls since the downfall of Saddam Hussein. While it remains unknown just how many female refugees have been subjected to sex trafficking, according to the Iraqi NGO the Organisation for Women’s Freedom in Iraq, 4,000 women, one fifth of whom are under 18, disappeared in the first seven years since the invasion. Clinical researcher Iman Abou-Atta acknowledges sexual exploitation existed in Iraq long before the invasion, but told a hearing at London’s House of Lords ahead of publication that the war and instability that followed ‘led to an environment where young women and girls became much more vulnerable to trafficking.’ As well as sex trafficking by criminal gangs, family members are also known to have become involved in the phenomena, with sales and forced marriages prevalent to overcome economic hardship, resolve disputes and pay debts. The downfall of Saddam Hussein created an environment where young girls and women became much more vulnerable to trafficking . The report suggests the majority of young girls and women are targeted while still inside Iraqi borders, many of whom have left their families because of fear, abuse, threats of forced marriage or violence. Kidnappings also take place with research revealing taxi drivers are often used to entrap victims with promises of help.

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.By . Sara Nelson . UPDATED: . 12:33 EST, 10 November 2011 . Thousands of Iraqi women and girls have been trafficked out of the country for sexual exploitation since the U.S. invasion in 2003 (file picture) Thousands of women and girls have been trafficked out of Iraq for sexual exploitation since the U.S. invasion in 2003. The findings, by the Social Change for Education in the Middle East (SCEME), say the victims are being transported to neigbouring Middle Eastern countries, most notably to Syria and Jordan, but also as far afield as Saudi Arabia and the UAE. A report entitled Karamatuna (Our Dignity) highlights the plight of young Iraqi refugee women and girls since the downfall of Saddam Hussein. While it remains unknown just how many female refugees have been subjected to sex trafficking, according to the Iraqi NGO the Organisation for Women’s Freedom in Iraq, 4,000 women, one fifth of whom are under 18, disappeared in the first seven years since the invasion. Clinical researcher Iman Abou-Atta acknowledges sexual exploitation existed in Iraq long before the invasion, but told a hearing at London’s House of Lords ahead of publication that the war and instability that followed ‘led to an environment where young women and girls became much more vulnerable to trafficking.’ As well as sex trafficking by criminal gangs, family members are also known to have become involved in the phenomena, with sales and forced marriages prevalent to overcome economic hardship, resolve disputes and pay debts. The downfall of Saddam Hussein created an environment where young girls and women became much more vulnerable to trafficking . The report suggests the majority of young girls and women are targeted while still inside Iraqi borders, many of whom have left their families because of fear, abuse, threats of forced marriage or violence. Kidnappings also take place with research revealing taxi drivers are often used to entrap victims with promises of help. It cites experiences by young Iraqi women, including that of 17-year-old Amira, who was ‘sold’ by her father to a man who offered the family $200 a month to supposedly take care of his handicapped wife. As well as housework, the teenager was forced to have sexual intercourse with the son, and friends of the man who hired her.

(CNN) -- Eulalia goes to school on a motorcycle. The 10-year-old girl lives in the Puno region of Peru with her parents and six siblings. There is no school near Eulalia's home, so on Mondays, her father gives her a ride down the mountain on his motorcycle to a boarding school run by the humanitarian organization CARE. She attends school during the week and comes home on the weekends. For Eulalia, this ride to school is a journey into a promising future that is hard to come by in Peru. She is one of nearly a million indigenous children who struggle to get an education. According to CARE, 73% of indigenous kids in Peru are behind in school for their age and nearly 30% don't go to school at all. Most people in the Puno region live in poverty and parents have no choice but to have their children work to help support the family. Child labor is often used for illegal gold mining in the area. Eulalia's father is a poor alpaca shepherd, but he wants his daughter to have a better education than he had and he has made it a priority. The school doesn't charge Eulalia's family for school fees, but her parents try to contribute in other ways such as with crops or labor. Soon, her little brother will also be attending the school. Eulalia's favorite subject is math but her father says she likes "everything." When she grows up, she wants to be a teacher. Eulalia's loving spirit is what endears her to the people at CARE. "I can tell you, she is the sweetest of them all ... quite shy, but at the same time very loving once she knows people a bit. The first time she visited our office, she gave big hugs to all my colleagues, and that's how she is remembered here, as 'the little hugger'," says Elsie Ralston of CARE. Eulalia studies a bilingual curriculum with CARE's Education Program. The school is a private project founded by a company that wants all its workers to be able to provide education for children in the area. CARE's Education Program in Peru promotes proper schooling for children and adolescents in vulnerable conditions, as well as the elimination of discrimination in all its forms. "The innovative bilingual and intercultural approach allows us to empower girls in urban and rural areas. CARE seeks to address the barriers Peruvian boys, but especially girls, face, while actively advocating the investment of public resources to education," Ralston says. CARE has similar educational programs around the world to assist and empower girls and young women. You can help CARE continue to help girls like Eulalia in Peru.

A year after Republicans were criticized for playing a major role in the government shutdown, the chairman of the Republican National Committee gave a big speech Thursday in an attempt to tear away at the party's obstructionist image. "People know what we're against. I want to talk about the things we're for," Reince Priebus said Thursday at George Washington University. The speech was part of the Republican Party's rebranding effort following its 2012 presidential election loss, in which GOP nominee Mitt Romney lost to President Obama in large part because of his weak standing with minorities, young voters and women. Priebus was critical of the way the party operated nationally in the past, saying the GOP had simply become a "U-haul trailer of cash for a presidential nominee" once every four years -- an approach he called a "loser strategy." He stressed that the party needs to be "obsessed over the mechanics" of voter outreach efforts, especially in the data and digital fields. "We also have become a midterm party that doesn't lose and presidential party that doesn't win," he said, attributing the pattern to a lack of voter engagement and on-the-ground work. "There's something that goes on in presidential elections that we have to get our act together and that's what we're going to do," he continued. He ticked off 11 topics that he said are "driving the Republican Party" -- a policy list that included health care, the economy, national security, and immigration. Priebus named a number of Republican lawmakers in Washington and governors who have proposed or enacted legislation that would address poverty, education and energy. Among them were Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico and House Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, chairwoman of the House Republican Conference. "One election won't fix everything, but we can take a step in the right direction this November," he said. "If the American people hire us, we'll be ready on day one." The Democratic National Committee, which had staffers at the speech, knocked Priebus' remarks as simply recycled material. "Reince Priebus just wrapped up his third rebrand speech for the GOP (not to be confused with his earlier rebrand speech or the one before that) but all we heard was the same old rhetoric that is out of step with reality," the DNC said in an email blast.​ .

A police officer has been ordered to get rid of his noisy cockerel after it enraged neighbours with its early morning wake-up calls. Police officer Geraint Rees lives with his wife Cerys and children Seren, aged six, and Taran, aged four, near Pontypridd, in South Wales, where their garden is full of fruit and vegetable patches, several hens, two rabbits and their cockerel Bomper. But since the bird began to crow just over a year ago, PC Rees has received a number of letters from the council with the most recent saying he must get rid of the cockerel or he could face prosecution. PC Geraint Rees with his children, Seren, six and Taran, four, has been told he must get rid of his noisy cockerel, Bomper or he could face prosecution . The police officer has been ordered to get rid of his noisy cockerel after enraging neighbours in  with his early morning wake-up calls in in Church Village, near Pontypridd, South Wales . The family was first made aware of the complaints last year after somebody told the council the cockerel had woken them up at 4.30am. Most councils advise cockerel owners that they are at risk of falling foul of noise officials. Following this, PC Rees built a breezeblock house to keep the bird in overnight to stifle the noise, but despite this working for a while, the Rhondda Cynon Taf council got back in touch earlier this year and then issued him with a noise abatement notice in June. PC Rees built a breezeblock house to keep the bird in overnight to keep the noise down, but Rhondda Cynon Taf council got back in touch earlier this year and issued Geraint with a noise abatement notice in June this year . PC Rees said: 'Having Bomper and the other animals is a great way to teach our children about nature and where food comes from. 'We've even taken Bomper to the local primary school to teach the children about farm animals - it's heartbreaking to think we could lose him. 'It was purely by accident that we got Bomper. We were sold chicks, which we thought would grow up into hens, but one grew into a cockerel.

Police officer Geraint Rees lives with his wife Cerys and children Seren, aged six, and Taran, aged four, near Pontypridd, in South Wales, along with several hens, two rabbits and their cockerel Bomper . The police officer has now launched a Facebook group called 'Save the Church Village Cockerel' to try and keep Bomper. He said: 'Because I didn't get rid of the cockerel within 14 days of the notice, the council has now said it's in the process of completing a prosecution file, which could take me to court. 'I feel the goalposts have been moved however because originally we were told the cockerel noise was keeping people awake in the early hours and following all the work and expense we've gone to in order to rectify the problem, the council is now saying the noise is a nuisance all day long. 'Bomper is our pet and we really don't want to give him away – we'll fight this to the end.' A Rhondda Cynon Taf council spokesman said: 'We are investigating complaints in relation to noise pollution. 'No charges have been brought at this time and the case remains very much ongoing.' This is not the first time residents have complained about noisy animals waking them up in the early hours. In April this year, chicken breeder Helen Rogers, 57, was summoned to Fareham Magistrates' Court accused of breaching a noise abatement notice on three occasions. Villagers in Hambledon, in the South Downs National Park in Hampshire, said her cockerel woke them at 3am and went on 'incessantly' until 11pm, starting a chain reaction of crowing.

Rod Schultz, who worked as a senior software engineer at Apple between 2006 and 2008, said he worked on a project 'intended to block 100 per cent of non-iTunes clients.' The project was also set up to 'keep out third-party players' that competed with Apple's iPod, according to the Wall Street Journal. Mr Schultz was subpoenaed by the prosecution to prove Apple restricted rival music on its iPods, which ultimately pushed up the prices of the devices. Apple is accused of abusing its monopoly position in the digital music player market, and only earlier this month lawyers claimed the firm deliberately deleted rivals' song from iPods. The case went to trial in California last month, after being filed a decade ago. Plaintiffs are claiming Apple's restrictive software froze out competitors and allowed it to sell iPods at inflated prices. They are seeking $350 million (£224m) in damages, which could be tripled if the jury finds Apple broke federal anti-trust law. Apple stopped using the particular software in question in 2009, which means the lawsuit only covers iPod models bought between September 2006 and March 2009. Mr Schultz, who worked on Digital Rights Management (DRM), security and data encryption for iTunes and iPods during this time at the firm, said he was an 'unwilling witness' and was not happy about discussing his work, codenamed Candy. Apple, and Mr Schultz, claimed the aim of the project was to improve iTunes and protect its users from malware and other threats caused by downloading non-iTunes music. They added it was not the firm's intention to stifle competition. Earlier in the trial, the prosecution told the court that Apple deleted songs from iPods that had been bought from rival music stores. Each time an Apple user with non-iTunes music tried to sync their devices, between 2007 and 2009, the tech firm urged them to restore the players to factory settings.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . Americans who support the death penalty would rather see states bring back the hangman's noose, the electric chair, the gas chamber, the firing squad - or even the guillotine - than stop executions if lethal injection is no longer available. A new NBC News poll found 59percent of Americans support the death penalty for people convicted of murder. The findings reveal that the botched execution of Oklahoma murderer Clayton Lockett on April 29 has not dampened public support for capital punishment.

Should the U.S. bring back other execution techniques if lethal injection is not available? If anything, it's made Americans believe more primitive methods of execution are more humane than lethal injection. All 35 states with the death penalty use either a cocktail of drugs or a single drug for executions. Those drugs have become harder to get in recent years as drug makers stop production - either for financial reasons or because they don't want to be associated with executions. NBC News found large support for other means of execution.

There is no such thing as killing someone humanely. 'But if hanging is done properly, it's more humane than lethal injection because there are fewer things that can go wrong.' Afterall, Mr Beasley said, 'that's how they killed Saddam Hussein.' Gladys Pringle, an 82-year-old from Port Royal, Pennsylvania, thinks the U.S. should look even farther back in history to find execution methods. 'It would be quick and with a firing squad no one knows whose bullet actually killed the person, so it’s easier on them,' she said.

(CNN) -- Their CVs combined look like the envy of all bona fide air adventurers. Pioneering ultralight aircraft? Been there. Setting world records by circling the globe nonstop in a balloon? Done that. Commanding the first ever 24-hour flight on a plane powered just by the sun? Yep, you've guessed it. And now, following 12 years of complex designs and intense training, aviation pioneers Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg are set to conquer new heights, taking up the challenge of the first solar flight around the globe. The Swiss duo unveiled last week Solar Impulse 2, a revolutionary aircraft designed to achieve the longest ever flight in the history of aviation in terms of duration for a single pilot. It will attempt to fly non-stop for 120 hours (yes, that's five successive days and nights) over oceans and continents without a drop of fuel. Made of carbon fiber, Solar Impulse 2 is the evolution of a prototype that has smashed several aviation records in recent years, including the first fully solar-powered overnight flight lasting 26 hours in 2010. The upgraded plane has a huge wingspan of 72 meters, wider than a standard Boeing 747, and weighs only 2,300 kilos -- that's about as heavy as a family car. Its wings are covered with a skin of 17,000 solar cells that supply four electric motors with renewable energy, while its custom-made lithium batteries are able to store enough solar energy throughout the day to keep the ultralight plane flying at night. "What we have now is the first airplane in the world which has unlimited endurance," says 62-year-old Borschberg, a father of three, who was the one in the cockpit in 2010's record-breaking flight. "It can fly a day and a night, it can fly a week, it can fly a month -- theoretically it can fly a year," he adds. "It's the most energy efficient airplane ever built." 20-minute sleeping . Inside the airplane's tiny cockpit, measuring about one and a half the interior volume of a 2013 Mini Cooper, every detail has been calculated to achieve maximum energy efficiency while ensuring the pilot can live there for several days. Its structure is surrounded by a high-density foam to protect the pilot from temperatures ranging from -40°C +40°C in the absence of heating and air conditioning. There is enough space for food, water and oxygen supplies, while a multipurpose seat, which comes packed with a parachute and a life-raft, functions as a toilet. It also reclines to allow the captain to perform physical exercises to keep blood circulation going as well as take a nap -- but only for up to 20 minutes. "We've learned to do what we call polyphasic sleep," says Borschberg, referring to the practice of sleeping several times over a day. "You need to know how to rest, how to eat, when to go to the toilet and how to keep the body functioning. Of course, we've also prepared for the worst -- how to jump out if it's necessary, how to survive in the ocean with a small life raft and how to get rescued." To achieve all that, Piccard and Borschberg have spent countless days and nights inside flight simulators over the last few years. But while technical training is crucial, Piccard says preparing yourself mentally is as important. "You have to be ready in your head to really visualize all the solutions," says Piccard. "All the positive emotions around the flight that will last five to six days alone over the ocean, and also visualize how to enjoy it -- otherwise it's very, very difficult." It runs in the family . If there's someone who knows about difficult, if not impossible, undertakings, then that's Piccard, a third-generation adventurer. His grandfather was the first man to make it to the stratosphere in a balloon while his father was the first to reach the deepest point of the Earth's oceans, the Mariana Trench at nearly 11,000 meters. Following in their footsteps, Piccard developed a passion for aviation early on. Starting out as a teenager, he soon became one of the pioneers of ultralight flying and won several hang-glider aerobatics competitions. In March 1999, he completed the first non-stop round-the-world balloon flight with Brian Jones from the UK, while four years later he joined forces with Borschberg, an aviator, entrepreneur and mechanical engineer, to embark on their lofty mission to build a solar aircraft that could circle the world with no polluting emissions. "In my family tradition there has always been the scientific exploration and the protection of the environment -- so this is what drives me," says 56-year-old Piccard, who is also a doctor, psychiatrist, and a father of three. "(To) have an interesting and exciting life but also have a useful life for others," he adds. Indeed, more than just setting new records, it's this desire to chart a sustainable path for future generations that seems to motivate the Solar Impulse founders -- when asked whether he was at all afraid of undertaking once again something that's never been done before , Piccard is unequivocal. "To be really honest," he says decisively, "I am very afraid of living in a world that burns one million tons of oil every hour -- without even counting gas and coal; a world that is destroying the planet and the environment," he continues. "I am much less afraid to fly in a solar-powered airplane because solar power is one of the solutions for the future. A future without fuel . Following last week's unveiling, Piccard and Borschberg are now set to begin test flights in mid-May before embarking on their 35,000-kilometer journey in March 2015. Starting from the Gulf region in the Middle East, the two pilots will then fly over India, Myanmar and China, cross the Pacific, the United States and the Atlantic with the aim of returning to their departure point. With a sluggish top speed of just 88 miles per hour, each ocean crossing will last five to six days, taking the total flight time up to 20-25 days over the course of a few months. "Because it's a single pilot and the plane flies slowly, we're going to land on every continent and switch the pilot," explains Piccard. "So one of us will make the Pacific, one will make the Atlantic; one will cross China the other one will cross America and so on." Each stop on their itinerary will last for several days as the Solar Impulse team wants to organize public events to raise awareness about a more sustainable way of life. "This is really the message we want to spread," says Piccard. "With clean technology, with renewable energy we can achieve incredible things without any fuel at all."

A seven-year-old girl narrowly avoided choking after she took a bite of a KFC chicken burger containing a metal nut. Leah Neat asked for some of her father's burger while on a family outing at the KFC in Gravesend, Kent. But when she passed it back to Daniel Neat, 35, he was shocked to find a piece of metal in the middle of the burger. A metal bolt was found inside a burger at a KFC in Gravesend, Kent, by Daniel Neat, 35 . Mother Sharon Neat, 35, said: 'It was my husband's burger but you know what children are like. 'My daughter said 'dad can I have a bite' so she did and when she passed it back he said 'there's a nut in that'. 'I said 'people can be allergic to that' and my husband said 'no, it's a metal nut'. 'It's not the sort of thing you expect to find in your burger. It really has put the children off eating there again.' Leah Neat, seven, narrowly avoided choking on the metal nut after taking a bite of her father's burger . She spent more than £35 on two barbecue pulled chicken meals, three boneless banquets, two barbecue wraps and one lunch box meal for her three children, husband, grandmother and uncle. Mrs Neat was told a full investigation would be launched but the mother-of-three has claimed she won't step back into the store in Kent. A KFC spokesman said: 'We take food safety extremely seriously and immediately launched an investigation into the matter to determine whether the object originated in store, which is ongoing. 'Nonetheless, as soon we were made aware of the situation we apologised on the spot and offered a full refund to the Neat family, which they accepted in the restaurant. 'We would like to reassure customers that our Valley Drive restaurant achieved a food hygiene rating of five out of five stars meaning that the business was found to have very good hygiene standards.' Leah with a picture the family took showing the metal nut they found inside a KFC burger . Leah with her mother Sharon, brother, Alex, 10, and twin sister Millie at their Gravesend home, Kent .

'My daughter said 'dad can I have a bite' so she did and when she passed it back he said 'there's a nut in that'. 'I said 'people can be allergic to that' and my husband said 'no, it's a metal nut'. 'It's not the sort of thing you expect to find in your burger. It really has put the children off eating there again.' Leah Neat, seven, narrowly avoided choking on the metal nut after taking a bite of her father's burger . She spent more than £35 on two barbecue pulled chicken meals, three boneless banquets, two barbecue wraps and one lunch box meal for her three children, husband, grandmother and uncle. Mrs Neat was told a full investigation would be launched but the mother-of-three has claimed she won't step back into the store in Kent. A KFC spokesman said: 'We take food safety extremely seriously and immediately launched an investigation into the matter to determine whether the object originated in store, which is ongoing. 'Nonetheless, as soon we were made aware of the situation we apologised on the spot and offered a full refund to the Neat family, which they accepted in the restaurant. 'We would like to reassure customers that our Valley Drive restaurant achieved a food hygiene rating of five out of five stars meaning that the business was found to have very good hygiene standards.'

(CNN) -- There are few cities in the world blessed with a more beautiful setting than Seattle. It is surrounded by rugged green wilderness; to the west the Olympic Mountains, to the east the volcanoes and glaciers of the Cascade Range, and all around the brisk waters of the Northwest. The Space Needle dominates the Seattle skyline. Over the years, Seattle has inspired a number of nicknames. It's not hard to understand why some refer to it as "Rain City," but visit when the sun is shining, when lakes Union and Washington are sparkling under a blue sky and majestic Mount Rainier is visible in the distance, and you'll realize that "Emerald City" is the most appropriate of its monikers. Seattle started out as a logging town, grew as a stop-off point for gold prospectors at the end of the 19th century, and earned another nickname, "Jet City", when plane manufacturer Boeing rose to prominence in the 1950s and 60s. At the height of its powers, Boeing employed some 100,000 locals and the Jet City remained a solidly working-class town until the 80s, when local startup Microsoft started making a name for itself. As Microsoft grew into the behemoth it is today, other tech firms such as Amazon.com and Nintendo were drawn to the city, bringing with them a wave of young, educated and affluent workers. Seattle began to shake off its blue-collar roots and in recent years its cultural credentials have been boosted by the addition of the Olympic Sculpture Park and a showpiece public library, while the acclaimed Seattle Symphony, Opera and Pacific Northwest Ballet have all moved into impressive new buildings in the last decade. Some resent Seattle's gentrification, bemoaning the near-gridlocked traffic and arguing that the city's most interesting neighborhoods have lost their individuality to the property developers. But if you spend some time in neighborhoods like Capitol Hill or Fremont, the self-proclaimed "Center of the Universe," you'll find there's still plenty of the native free spirit in evidence. It was that free spirit that gave birth to Grunge, the post-punk guitar noise that came out of the city in the early 90s, when local bands Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Nirvana became international stars. Now Grunge is just a memory, but in popular culture it remains as much of a symbol of the city as the Space Needle, the persistent drizzle and the excellent, ubiquitous, coffee shops. Despite its rapid growth, Seattle has kept its trees and parks and many areas maintain an almost suburban feel. The city and its residents are laidback and liberal, and that famous free spirit is as at home in the great outdoors as in Seattle's boho neighborhoods. As a modern, civilized outpost among outstanding natural spectacle, the place once known as the "Queen City of the Northwest" still reigns supreme.
Seattle has been known as "Jet City," "Rain City," and "The Emerald City" It has a great location, surrounded by mountains, lakes and fantastic scenery . The city boasts a symphony orchestra, and ballet and opera companies .

Washington (CNN) -- A judge on Monday ordered the release of sealed documents and transcripts from court proceedings related to the murder case of Chandra Levy, a Washington intern whose disappearance in 2001 drew national headlines and damaged a U.S. congressman's political career. D.C. Superior Court Judge Gerald Fisher ruled that the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia should release the transcripts of secret conversations between the lawyers and the judge at the judge's bench in hearings from earlier this year. The case of Levy, whose body was found in a Washington park in 2002, is back in court because defense attorneys for the man convicted of her murder have called into question the testimony of a key prosecution witness. Ingmar Guandique, 31, was sentenced in 2011 to two concurrent 60-year sentences for murder with kidnapping and murder with attempted robbery in Levy's death. He was in court Monday wearing an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs. In February 2009, police arrested Guandique, who was already in prison for attacking two other women in the park where Levy's body was found and who had reportedly spoken about killing her. New hearings in Chandra Levy case add to mystery . Armando Morales, a convicted felon and former gang member, testified at Guandique's trial that Guandique confessed to him that he killed Levy. Guandique repeatedly said at his trial he had nothing to do with Levy's death. Guandique's defense attorney, Jonathan Anderson, on Monday questioned Morales' credibility and said he had given contradictory testimony about Guandique. According to Anderson, Morales had provided information to law enforcement before about three murders. A status hearing on the case has been scheduled for September 26. Levy, a 24-year-old California native, was in Washington working as an intern for the Bureau of Prisons when she was last seen on May 1, 2001. Her skull was found a year later in Washington's Rock Creek Park and she was identified through dental records. Levy's disappearance gained national attention after her parents discovered a connection with Gary Condit, who was then a congressman for Levy's California district. Condit was never a suspect in the case, but he was questioned intensively for details about Levy's whereabouts. Condit denied he and Levy were having an affair, but an FBI forensic expert later confirmed his semen was found in Levy's underwear that was retrieved from her apartment after she went missing. The sealed information is from hearings late last year and earlier this year. They are transcripts of discussions that lawyers and Fisher had at the judge's bench, which observers in the courtroom could not hear. A group of media outlets including the Associated Press, Gannett, McClatchy, The Washington Post and Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press filed court papers seeking to unseal the information. Condit, who served in Congress until 2003, is currently on the board of directors of the Phoenix Institute of Desert Agriculture, a nonprofit group that promotes sustainable farming.

Lord Salisbury, once the Conservative Party's leader in the House of Lords, sent a letter last week to homeowners in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, claiming his 'market and fair rights, sporting rights and rights in respect of the mines and minerals beneath the property'. The letter added that it is 'the mineral rights which are of the most significance', a statement some residents fear may refer to fracking. Campaigners have rallied together to form a Facebook uprising on which some even suggested picketing the marquess' ancestral home, Hatfield House, wearing medieval costumes and 'waving pitchforks and burning torches'.

A mother of three was forced to burn her daughter's cot and throw out furniture after her home became overrun by bed bugs. Clare Knight and her family have left unable to sleep at night and covered in bites since the insects infested her home in Mitcham, south west London last summer. The 41-year-old called in pest controllers to kill the bugs but says they were back within weeks - and have made life in their home a nightmare. Clare Knight said her home has become overrun by the bugs which keep her and her large family awake at night . 'It's awful. We were waking up in the middle of the night itching, put the light on and see these little black things running around. 'It started out just a few. Then we realised what they were and we contacted the housing association and said what was going on and they sent someone round, but it seemed to get worse. 'I have been to the doctor, I have been to the health visitor who was disgusted at how we have to live like this.' Ms Knight, a single mother, lives in the house with children who are aged between one and 25. Her three-year-old granddaughter and her son's girlfriend also live in the property owned by a housing association. The mother-of-three said despite calling in pest controllers in the summer, the situation has become worse . Ms Knight, who lives with her daughter Cara (left) and granddaughter Leyla (right) hopes the housing association which owns the property will solve the problem. Bed bugs (file image right) feast on the blood of humans and are thought to have doubled in numbers in the UK in the past six years . The house in south west London is owned by a housing association which says it has done its due part to solve the problem . A small trail of blood is often found in the sheets of a bed infested with bugs which feast on humans as they sleep (file image) The number of bedbug cases in the UK has more than doubled in the past six years, according to pest control experts Rentokil Pest Control. Bedbugs feed on human blood like mosquitoes. A single pregnant bedbug can create an infestation of thousands within weeks. Forecasters predicted a big increase this winter due to the wet, mild weather. Bedbugs don’t choose a dirty home over a clean one - they just care about blood. Resistance to insecticides and increase in travel have fuelled the bedbug increase. After failing to get rid of the pests, she burned her daughter's cot along with other furniture but says she can still see the bugs coming through skirting boards. 'I called for a quote and was told just to treat three rooms would cost me over £1,000. 'I can’t believe how L&Q have left us to live,' she added. London and Quadrant, which owns the house, sent pest-controllers to treat the property in July, but failed to exterminate them. An L&Q spokesman said: 'We appreciate that Miss Knight is experiencing a pest problem, however our tenancy agreements make it clear that infestations within a property are the responsibility of the tenant. 'We did treat the property in July as a one-off, goodwill gesture, but Miss Knight has since notified us that pests have returned.” 'We have agreed to contact the neighbours to see if they are experiencing similar issues.'

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.A mother of three was forced to burn her daughter's cot and throw out furniture after her home became overrun by bed bugs. Clare Knight and her family have left unable to sleep at night and covered in bites since the insects infested her home in Mitcham, south west London last summer. The 41-year-old called in pest controllers to kill the bugs but says they were back within weeks - and have made life in their home a nightmare. Clare Knight said her home has become overrun by the bugs which keep her and her large family awake at night . 'It's awful. We were waking up in the middle of the night itching, put the light on and see these little black things running around. 'It started out just a few. Then we realised what they were and we contacted the housing association and said what was going on and they sent someone round, but it seemed to get worse. 'I have been to the doctor, I have been to the health visitor who was disgusted at how we have to live like this.' Ms Knight, a single mother, lives in the house with children who are aged between one and 25. Her three-year-old granddaughter and her son's girlfriend also live in the property owned by a housing association. The mother-of-three said despite calling in pest controllers in the summer, the situation has become worse . Ms Knight, who lives with her daughter Cara (left) and granddaughter Leyla (right) hopes the housing association which owns the property will solve the problem. Bed bugs (file image right) feast on the blood of humans and are thought to have doubled in numbers in the UK in the past six years . The house in south west London is owned by a housing association which says it has done its due part to solve the problem . A small trail of blood is often found in the sheets of a bed infested with bugs which feast on humans as they sleep (file image) The number of bedbug cases in the UK has more than doubled in the past six years, according to pest control experts Rentokil Pest Control. Bedbugs feed on human blood like mosquitoes. A single pregnant bedbug can create an infestation of thousands within weeks. Forecasters predicted a big increase this winter due to the wet, mild weather. Bedbugs don’t choose a dirty home over a clean one - they just care about blood. Resistance to insecticides and increase in travel have fuelled the bedbug increase. After failing to get rid of the pests, she burned her daughter's cot along with other furniture but says she can still see the bugs coming through skirting boards. 'I called for a quote and was told just to treat three rooms would cost me over £1,000. 'I can’t believe how L&Q have left us to live,' she added. London and Quadrant, which owns the house, sent pest-controllers to treat the property in July, but failed to exterminate them. An L&Q spokesman said: 'We appreciate that Miss Knight is experiencing a pest problem, however our tenancy agreements make it clear that infestations within a property are the responsibility of the tenant. 'We did treat the property in July as a one-off, goodwill gesture, but Miss Knight has since notified us that pests have returned.” 'We have agreed to contact the neighbours to see if they are experiencing similar issues.'

(CNN) -- South African teenager Caster Semenya won the women's 800 meters gold medal at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin, just hours after the sport's governing body asked for the 18-year-old's gender to be verified. Semenya celebrates her gold, which came just hours after the IAAF called for a gender test on the athlete. Semenya crushed her rivals by streaking away to secure victory in a time of one minute 55.45 seconds -- the best time in the world this year. Defending champion Janeth Jepkosgei of Kenya took the silver with Briton Jennifer Meadows claiming bronze. However, the race was run amid controversy following the announcement by the International Amateur Athletics Federation (IAAF). Watch outrage over allegations » . "The gender verification test is an extremely complex procedure," said IAAF spokesman Nick Davies -- who revealed the question of Semenya's gender was first raised after her astonishing African junior championship displays. "In the case of this athlete, following her breakthrough in the African junior championships, the rumors, the gossip were starting to build-up," Davies added to reporters. There have been precedents in such cases, the most famous being that of Polish athletics great Stella Walsh, who won Olympic gold in the 100 yards at the 1932 Olympics and silver in the same event in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. However, after she was shot dead during an armed robbery in 1980, the subsequent autopsy revealed she possessed male genitalia, although she also had female characteristics as well. Meanwhile, Yusuf Saad Kamel secured Bahrain's first-ever medal with a superb late surge to claim gold in the men's 1,500 meters. Kamel, who until 2003 competed for Kenya as Gregory Konchellah and is the son of former two-time world 800m champion Billy, won in a time of three minutes 35.93 seconds. Ethiopia's world indoor champion Deresse Mekonnen claimed a surprise silver with defending champion Bernard Lagat, also Kenyan-born but now competing for the United States, in bronze. ""It's amazing to win a world title just like my father. The only thing left for me to do is to beat his times and win more medals and get to the front of my family," Kamel told reporters. Olympic silver medallist Asbel Kiprop of Kenya could only finish fourth after leaving himself too much to do down the home straight. Elsewhere, sprint king Usain Bolt produced an effortless run to coast into the men's 200m final and remain on course to claim a world sprint double to add to his Olympic sprint double from Beijing. The 22-year-old Jamaican, who set a new world record of 9.58 seconds in winning the 100m on Sunday eased home to win his semifinal in 20.08 seconds and only injury looks like depriving him of gold. "I just try and get through and make it as easy as possible," Bolt told reporters. "I've been training for this for a long time now. I know what I have to do." There was more sprint joy for Jamaica when Bolt's compatriot Brigitte Foster-Hylton ran a season's best time of 12.51 seconds to finally claim gold in the women's 100m hurdles. The 34-year-old, who won world bronze in Helsinki in 2005 and silver in Paris in 2003, secured her first global title by edging out Canada's Olympic bronze medallist Priscilla Lopes-Schliep. Another Jamaican, Delloreen Ennis-London, took the bronze medal. However, the biggest cheer of the night at an electric Olympic Stadium was reserved for Germany's Robert Harting, who dramatically won the men's discus gold with his sixth and final throw of 69.43 meters. Poland's long-time leader Piotr Malachowski won silver with a throw of 69.15m with defending world and Olympic champion Gerd Kanter of Estonia claiming the bronze with 66.88m. The victory was host nations Germany's second of the championships after Steffi Nerius claimed gold in the women's javelin on Tuesday.

President Saleh makes TV speech from Saudi Arabia . He's had eight operations since the June 3 attack . Protest leader says Saleh's career is over . By . Daily Mail Reporter . Last updated at 1:44 PM on 8th July 2011 . Yemen's embattled president, looking weakened and stiff, has made his first public appearance since he was injured in a blast on his palace compound last month, in an apparent bid to dispel growing speculation about his condition. President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who is undergoing treatment in Saudi Arabia, lashed out at opponents seeking to oust him from power, but his dramatically changed appearance belied his show of defiance. White plaster casts covered his arms and hands, and his face appeared noticeably darker and thinner than before the attack. He sported a short beard and his hair was covered with a red-and-white-checkered Arab headdress cloth, both unusual for the clean-shaven, suit-wearing leader. Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh gave a speech from the Saudi capital Riyadh on July 7 looking weak and thin . Attack: President Saleh used his speech to lash out at opponents . In a pre-recorded video statement broadcast on Thursday, Saleh said he'd undergone more than eight ‘successful operations,’ but did not say if and when he would return to Yemen. The leader of Yemen's ruling party, who is close to Saleh, said the president's brief speech helped set the record straight. ‘His mere appearance on TV has clarified things for people and silenced many tongues by showing that the president is in good health,’ said the politician, Yasser Yemani. However, Mohammed al-Thahiri, a protest leader in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa, said Saleh's career is over. ‘It's clear form the way that he looks that he can't come back. This man is no longer able to rule the country,’ said al-Thahiri. Wearing a white robe and sitting rigidly in an armchair, Saleh accused ‘terrorist elements’ of carrying out the June 3 attack. He said dialogue is the only way out of the political crisis that has brought this impoverished corner of the Arabian Peninsula to the brink of civil war. Rejoicing: Yemeni men shout slogans celebrating the television appearance of President Saleh . ‘Where are the conscious people? Where are the honest people? Where are the believers and the men who fear Allah? Why don't they stand with dialogue?’ he said. ‘They should stand with dialogue so we can find solutions.’ ‘Many have understood democracy incorrectly, through incorrect practices,’ Saleh said in the seven-minute video recorded in Saudi Arabia and broadcast on Yemen state TV. He accused his opponents of practicing the politics of ‘hijacking’ and ‘arm-twisting’ while describing himself as a defender of democracy and stability. ‘We love participation, though the constitution, though the law,’ he said.Saleh did not mention the U.S.-backed proposal by Yemen's powerful Gulf Arab neighbors that would see him transfer power in exchange for immunity from prosecution. Gathering: President Saleh's speech, in which he described himself as a defender of democracy, rallied his supporters . Before his injury, Saleh repeatedly refused to sign the proposal. More than four months of popular uprising seeking to end his rule have battered Yemen's economy, spread instability and caused the United States to turn away from Saleh, once considered a key ally in fighting Yemen's active al-Qaida branch. Many worry al-Qaida could exploit instability in Yemen to expand its operations. Illustrating the threat, security officials said Thursday that Islamist fighters killed 10 Yemeni soldiers execution-style after stopping their bus at a fake checkpoint. Wednesday's attack was carried out in the southern province of Abyan, where militants have already seized control of two towns. In the capital Sanaa, the crackle of gunfire rang out when Saleh appeared on TV, as security forces and Saleh supporters fired in the air. Sanaa protest leader Abdel-Hadi al-Azazi said a small explosion went off in the public square where protesters have camped out injured six people. Its cause remained unclear. Syria today said that the U.S. ambassador's unauthorised trip to the flashpoint city of Hama proves Washington has a hand in the troubles. The strong statement comes as Syrians are expected to take to the streets across the country in a weekly show of defiance against President Bashar Assad's autocratic regime. Hama, the site of a 1982 massacre by Assad's later father and predecessor, has become a focal point of the uprising and has drawn the largest crowds since the revolt began in mid-March. Backlash: A man wearing sunglasses painted with the colours of the Syrian national flag gives a v-sign during a rally in support of the Syrian opposition in Amman, Jordan . ‘The presence of the U.S. ambassador in Hama without obtaining prior permission from the Foreign Ministry as stipulated by instructions distributed repeatedly to all the embassies is clear evidence of the U.S. involvement in the ongoing events in Syria,’ the state-run news agency SANA reported Friday, citing an unnamed ‘official source’ at the Foreign Ministry. Thousands of Egyptians took to the streets around the country today to demand justice for victims of Hosni Mubarak's regime and press the new, military rulers for a clear plan of transition to democracy. There is growing frustration among Egyptians that little has changed five months after the 18-day uprising forced the former president to step down on February 11. Riots and protests have been escalating over what many see as the reluctance of the military rulers, who took over after Mubarak, to prosecute police and former regime officials for the killing of nearly 900 protesters during the uprising. The U.S. is trying to ‘aggravate the situations, which destabilise Syria,’ the statement said. The central Syrian city poses a potential dilemma for Assad's government on Friday. A major offensive could make the city a fresh rallying cry for the opposition, but the regime also does not want a repeat of last Friday's stunning rally, when an estimated 300,000 people protested. Ambassador Robert Ford traveled independently Thursday to Hama to show solidarity with residents protesting against Assad's regime, according to the State Department. He also participated in a government-organised excursion to northern Syria last month. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Ford ‘spent the day expressing our deep support for the right of the Syrian people to assemble peacefully and to express themselves.’ Ford reached the city after passing checkpoints run by the military and Hama residents. Nuland said he met nervous residents and saw many shops closed. He also visited a hospital treating the wounded.

Calum Chambers returns from his own suspension and could replace either Hector Bellerin at right back or Nacho Monreal at centre back. Laurent Koskielny is still suffering with an achillles problem.

(CNN) -- My heart goes out to Brittany Maynard, who is dying of brain cancer and who wrote last week about her desire for what is often referred to as "death with dignity." Yet while I have every sympathy for her situation, it is important to remember that for every case such as this, there are hundreds -- or thousands -- more people who could be significantly harmed if assisted suicide is legal. The legalization of assisted suicide always appears acceptable when the focus is solely on an individual. But it is important to remember that doing so would have repercussions across all of society, and would put many people at risk of immense harm. After all, not every terminal prognosis is correct, and not everyone has a loving husband, family or support system. As an advocate working on behalf of disability rights for 37 years, and as someone who uses a wheelchair, I am all too familiar with the explicit and implicit pressures faced by people living with chronic or serious disability or disease. But the reality is that legalizing assisted suicide is a deadly mix with the broken, profit-driven health care system we have in the United States. At less than $300, assisted suicide is, to put it bluntly, the cheapest treatment for a terminal illness. This means that in places where assisted suicide is legal, coercion is not even necessary. If life-sustaining expensive treatment is denied or even merely delayed, patients will be steered toward assisted suicide, where it is legal. This problem applies to government-funded health care as well. In 2008, came the story that Barbara Wagner, a Springfield, Oregon, woman diagnosed with lung cancer and prescribed a chemotherapy drug by her personal physician, had reportedly received a letter from the Oregon Health Plan stating that her chemotherapy treatment would not be covered. She said she was told that instead, they would pay for, among other things, her assisted suicide. "To say to someone: "We'll pay for you to die, but not for you to live" -- it's cruel," she said. Another Oregon resident, 53-year-old Randy Stroup, was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Like Wagner, Stroup was reportedly denied approval of his prescribed chemotherapy treatment and instead offered coverage for assisted suicide. Meanwhile, where assisted suicide is legal, an heir or abusive caregiver may steer someone towards assisted suicide, witness the request, pick up the lethal dose, and even give the drug -- no witnesses are required at the death, so who would know? This can occur despite the fact that diagnoses of terminal illness are often wrong, leading people to give up on treatment and lose good years of their lives. True, "safeguards" have been put in place where assisted suicide is legal. But in practical terms, they provide no protection. For example, people with a history of depression and suicide attempts have received the lethal drugs. Michael Freeland of Oregon reportedly had a 40-year history of significant depression, yet he received lethal drugs in Oregon. These risks are simply not worth the price of assisted suicide. Available data suggests that pain is rarely the reason why people choose assisted suicide. Instead, most people do so because they fear burdening their families or becoming disabled or dependent. Anyone dying in discomfort that is not otherwise relievable, may legally today, in all 50 states, receive palliative sedation, wherein the patient is sedated to the point at which the discomfort is relieved while the dying process takes place peacefully. This means that today there is a legal solution to painful and uncomfortable deaths, one that does not raise the very serious problems of legalizing assisted suicide. The debate about assisted suicide is not new, but voters and elected officials grow very wary of it when they learn the facts. Just this year alone, assisted suicide bills were rejected in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connecticut, and stalled in New Jersey, due to bipartisan, grassroots opposition from a broad coalition of groups spanning the political spectrum from left to right, including disability rights organizations, medical professionals and associations, palliative care specialists, hospice workers and faith-based organizations. Assisted suicide is a unique issue that breaks down ideological boundaries and requires us to consider those potentially most vulnerable in our society. All this means that we should, as a society, strive for better options to address the fear and uncertainty articulated by Brittany Maynard. But if assisted suicide is legal, some people's lives will be ended without their consent, through mistakes and abuse. No safeguards have ever been enacted or proposed that can properly prevent this outcome, one that can never be undone. Ultimately, when looking at the bigger picture, and not just individual cases, one thing becomes clear: Any benefits from assisted suicide are simply not worth the real and significant risks of this dangerous public policy.
Legal assisted suicide can seem acceptable on individual basis, says Marilyn Golden . But in a profit-driven health care system like the U.S. it can be dangerous, Golden says . Diagnoses of terminal illness are often wrong, writes Golden .

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.(CNN) -- My heart goes out to Brittany Maynard, who is dying of brain cancer and who wrote last week about her desire for what is often referred to as "death with dignity." Yet while I have every sympathy for her situation, it is important to remember that for every case such as this, there are hundreds -- or thousands -- more people who could be significantly harmed if assisted suicide is legal. The legalization of assisted suicide always appears acceptable when the focus is solely on an individual. But it is important to remember that doing so would have repercussions across all of society, and would put many people at risk of immense harm. After all, not every terminal prognosis is correct, and not everyone has a loving husband, family or support system. As an advocate working on behalf of disability rights for 37 years, and as someone who uses a wheelchair, I am all too familiar with the explicit and implicit pressures faced by people living with chronic or serious disability or disease. But the reality is that legalizing assisted suicide is a deadly mix with the broken, profit-driven health care system we have in the United States. At less than $300, assisted suicide is, to put it bluntly, the cheapest treatment for a terminal illness. This means that in places where assisted suicide is legal, coercion is not even necessary. If life-sustaining expensive treatment is denied or even merely delayed, patients will be steered toward assisted suicide, where it is legal. This problem applies to government-funded health care as well. In 2008, came the story that Barbara Wagner, a Springfield, Oregon, woman diagnosed with lung cancer and prescribed a chemotherapy drug by her personal physician, had reportedly received a letter from the Oregon Health Plan stating that her chemotherapy treatment would not be covered. She said she was told that instead, they would pay for, among other things, her assisted suicide. "To say to someone: "We'll pay for you to die, but not for you to live" -- it's cruel," she said. Another Oregon resident, 53-year-old Randy Stroup, was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Like Wagner, Stroup was reportedly denied approval of his prescribed chemotherapy treatment and instead offered coverage for assisted suicide. Meanwhile, where assisted suicide is legal, an heir or abusive caregiver may steer someone towards assisted suicide, witness the request, pick up the lethal dose, and even give the drug -- no witnesses are required at the death, so who would know?

China's first school for butlers has opened in a sprawling upmarket villa - and it is run entirely by westerners. The International Butler Academy offers £11,000-a-head courses to youngsters desperate to cash in on the rise of China's super-rich and the 'Downton Abbey effect'. Recruits in smart three-piece suits are whisked through a punishing eight-week regime which includes shoe-shining, table-laying and pouring wine before working for the East's rising elite. Students pay £11,000 to join the butler course to cater for China's new super-rich who love Downton Abbey . The eight-week course teaches students how to shine shoes and pour wine for the new billionaire Chinese . The International Butler Academy is located in a mansion in Chengdu China which opened for business in July . The academy opened in July at a multi-million pound villa in Chengdu, China, which has a swimming pool, two saunas and a bar. Behind the idea was Dutchman Robert Wennekes, once a butler for 'one of America's wealthiest billionaires' who served as head butler for the U.S. Embassy in Germany. The 56-year-old, whose firm already runs a similar school in a 14th Century castle in the Netherlands, is cashing in on the desire for western customs and traditions from the super-rich businessmen of cities like Shanghai. Western butler training schools had already been sending many of their graduates overseas to Chinese families. Students learn how to lay tables and travel to some of Europe's great homes to learn first-hand how its done . As well as learning all the skills to become a butler, the students are also given their uniform to star work . Graduates of the academy can expect to earn anything between £30,000 and £90,000 a year . Now the 'academy' claims to be the first permanent, accredited butler school in China - and it is proving popular. Young recruits pay £10,900 for their eight-week course, which includes a full uniform, field trips to grand homes in Europe and all meals during the training. The budding butlers learn how to set tables using rulers, polish silver forks and crystal wine glasses, iron tablecloths and pour wine for their masters. When they graduate classes given by tutors from Canada, the U.S., Belgium and Switzerland, the academy claims they can expect to earn anywhere from £30,000 up to £90,000. While the Eurozone is still struggling to pull out of the longest recession in its history, China's economy is growing by more than 7 per cent every year and shows little sign of slowing down. Graduates are taught by tutors from Canada, the US, Belgium and Switzerland who have years of experience . Students are taught that attention to detail is everything when it comes to serving in a great house . With the Chinese economy growing on average by 7 per cent a year, there is a huge market for butlers . A manufacturing boom and the relaxation of some of the Communist nation's state controls has led to a new generation of super-rich investors. They splash out on opulent homes - often in wealthy areas of London - fast cars, and sending their children to England's top private schools and universities. Michel Hockx, Professor of Chinese at SOAS University of London, said using western culture had a lot to do with status symbols. 'The fundamental reason for all this is that Chinese people now have the opportunity to distinguish themselves from other people in the country,' he told MailOnline. 'It started with the way people dress, then it was hobbies, then foreign travel - it's one thing after another. 'It's now accepted that China has become a class society, which is strange because it's still a communist country, at least in name. Super-rich Chinese see television shows such as Downton Abbey and think that they now need a butler . Female butlers are in great demand in the Middle East and the Far East due to cultural sensitivities . The academy said it is the first accredited institution of its type in operation in China . 'They seek to emulate what they see to be upper class life in countries like the UK, U.S. and elsewhere. You could compare it with what the U.S. went through half a century ago when there was a lot of imitation. 'English literature from the Romantic era still has an enormous appeal and China has millions of fans of shows like Sherlock or Downton Abbey. 'It betrays a certain lack of confidence in one's own culture, but in time this will change.' Despite the reputation of British butlers, Mr Wennekes insists the best now come from Switzerland. The academy's website adds: 'The French invented the butler and the Americans invented the modern butler. Most butlers are employed in the U.S. and in the Middle East.' There is another stereotype which is fast dying out - that 'butlering' is a profession reserved only for men. If a candle is being reused it is vital that the wax drippings are removed with a razor blade to avoid offence . Before any formal dinner it is important that the napkins are ironed with a military-type precision . The International Butler Academy in China advertises itself 'by royal appointment' Buckingham Palace advertised for its first female butlers in 2004 and many of the students at the new school in China are women. 'Female butlers are sometimes preferred, especially for work within Middle and Far Eastern families where it may be culturally problematic for males to work closely with females in a household,' the academy said. 'Western female celebrities may also prefer a female butler, as may households where the wife is driving the decision to hire a butler.' A good butler should ensure that there are no water marks on the crystal and never the remains of lipstick .

(CNN) -- CNN and the Cartoon Network's presentation of the AC360° special feature, "The Bully Effect," spotlight a serious issue affecting children across our nation. The film underscores the damaging consequences of bullying and the need to prevent and respond to it. Lawmakers have a responsibility to ensure that our schools are safe, which is why I have made addressing this problem a priority in the United States Senate. I firmly believe that all children have a right to an education free from fear of being bullied. The denial of this basic right is a betrayal of children who simply want to learn. Anderson Cooper: Say no to bullying . The impact of bullying for students and for our nation are severe. In an era when a quality education matters greatly in a competitive global economy, students must be able to focus on their studies. Bullying distracts students who worry more about surviving the day unscathed than about the grades on their report card. Research has indicated that bullying causes increased absenteeism, dropout rates and academic underachievement, all of which undermine a child's ability to succeed in the classroom and beyond. I am particularly disturbed by stories of bullied youth who feel powerless to change their situation and who choose not to seek help from adults. A recent report from a newspaper in my home state of Pennsylvania told the story of a 12-year-old boy who regularly asks his parents not to report when he has been bullied because he fears possible retaliation. Rather than speak up about the threatening environment at school, he felt that his only option was to keep quiet or risk making things worse. Putting an end to bullying will require a consistent message from adults, including lawmakers, that young people can make a real difference in their lives and the lives of others when they speak up about bullying and harassment. Recently, I reintroduced bipartisan legislation to help prevent bullying and harassment -- the Safe Schools Improvement Act. My bill, which I'm proposing with co-sponsor Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Illinois, will require school districts that receive federal funding to develop codes of conduct that specifically ban bullying and harassment. This includes cyberbullying and bullying based on a student's actual or perceived race, color, national origin, sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or religion. At the end of the 112th Congress, 41 senators had joined Senator Kirk and me in supporting this important, commonsense legislation. A new study found that the psychological side effects of bullying can extend up to a decade after the harassment has ended. Moreover, this elevated risk of mental health effects occurs not only with victims of bullying but also with the bullies themselves. Faced with the possibility of such far reaching consequences, it is more important than ever that we put a stop to the intimidation of our youth. I applaud those who are already working to make schools a place where all children can achieve their full potential without fear of being bullied, and I urge my colleagues in Congress to work with me in passing the Safe Schools Improvement Act.

By . Sally Lee . and Louise Cheer . and Candace Sutton For Daily Mail Australia . Gold Coast bodybuilder Gable Tostee has been remanded in custody following a brief court hearing over murder charges of a New Zealand woman. He was absent from Southport Magistrates Court on Saturday morning - a day after being charged with the murder of Warriena Tagpuno Wright during the early hours of August 8. The 26-year-old tourist had allegedly fallen to her death from Tostee's Surfer's Paradise unit. It was revealed that secret recordings made on the day the New Zealand tourist plunged to her death from the high-rise building led to Tostee being charged with her murder. Scroll down for video . Gable Tostee, 28, was arrested at his parents' home on Friday morning . Gable Tostee defence lawyer Michael Purcell speaks to reporters at Southport Magistrates Court on Saturday morning . Mr Purcell said his client will fight the murder charge . Tostee was escorted to the Gold Coast watch house by detectives in black suits . On Saturday, Tostee appeared in court exactly eight days after Ms Wright fell 14 storeys from the balcony of his Avalon Apartments unit on Surfers Paradise. The 28-year-old was unable to apply for bail and remained in the Southport watch house during the brief court hearing. His defence lawyer, Michael Purcell, told reporters outside court his client would fight the murder charge. 'My client maintains his innocence and we look forward to the provision of a brief of evidence so we can move on with the court process,' he said. 'I've got instructions to make an application to the Supreme Court for bail in the weeks to come.' Tostee's family were not present in court. Magistrate John Costanzo adjourned Tostee's matter until October 10. This comes after more than a week of investigations by police, where the 28-year-old was brought to Southport watchhouse in handcuffs from his parents' Carrara home - west of the Gold Coast tourist strip - where he was officially charged. The case against Tostee - who has boasted about his conquests online - was brought about after police seized footage allegedly showing the meeting between him and Ms Wright when they connected via mobile dating app Tinder. according to The Daily Telegraph. Tostee has also previously revealed he was 'obsessed' with recording videos on an online bodybuilding forum. Ms Wright was on a two-week holiday for a friend's wedding but the trip took a tragic turn when her body was found in the early morning hours of Friday, August 8, at the bottom of the Wahroonga Place building. Within minutes, police arrived at the scene after a male witness raised the alarm and searched the apartment from which she fell, but it was empty. Hours later, Tostee presented himself to police at the Surfers Paradise station where he was questioned for more than two hours with his lawyer before being released without charge. At the time, police said Tostee had 'exercised his right to silence'. The 28-year-old also took to social media to deny his involvement in Ms Wright's death. 'I absolutely did not cause this girl to fall and I am devastated about what happened to her,' he posted.

The 26-year-old tourist had allegedly fallen to her death from Tostee's Surfer's Paradise unit.

'I've got instructions to make an application to the Supreme Court for bail in the weeks to come.' Tostee's family were not present in court. Magistrate John Costanzo adjourned Tostee's matter until October 10. This comes after more than a week of investigations by police, where the 28-year-old was brought to Southport watchhouse in handcuffs from his parents' Carrara home - west of the Gold Coast tourist strip - where he was officially charged.

At the time, police said Tostee had 'exercised his right to silence'. The 28-year-old also took to social media to deny his involvement in Ms Wright's death. 'I absolutely did not cause this girl to fall and I am devastated about what happened to her,' he posted.

By . Anna Hodgekiss . Emma Sohrabian was stunned when doctors told her they didn't know if her baby was a boy or a girl for three months . A mother was left stunned after doctors told her they didn't know if her baby was a boy or a girl - and they wouldn't be able to tell for another three months. Aolani Argyle appeared to have female genitals when she was born and doctors confirmed she was a girl. Quite understandably, her overjoyed mother Emma told all her family and friends she had a new daughter and bought pink baby clothes. But to her total disbelief, doctors then said they weren't sure of the baby's sex and needed to run tests. Aolani was three months old when the results eventually came back - confirming she was in fact a girl. Miss Sohrabian, 35, from Oxford, said: 'I didn't understand what they were talking about. I was also mortified - I'd told everyone I'd had a baby girl and I'd registered her birth when she was a few days old. 'At my 20 week scan I asked to find out the sex so I knew I was having a girl. I had everything for her. It was all pink and girlie - even her room. Doctors explained Aolani was showing signs of having a rare genetic condition called Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia. The condition affects just one in 15,000 births and there is currently no known cure. It can be life-threatening because sufferers don't have the enzyme needed to make the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. Without these hormones, the body produces more androgen, a type of male sex hormone.This can cause enlarged genitals, leading doctors to question Aolani's sex. Aolani, now 14 months old, was born 15 weeks premature at John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford. Doctors explained to Miss Sohrabian, who had been told she was having a girl, her baby could have a rare genetic illness that causes confusion over the gender . Aolani, now 14 months old, was also born 15 weeks premature. During the birth, her heart stopped beating and she had to be resuscitated . Miss Sohrabian suffered placenta previa during her pregnancy, a complication where the placenta grows in the lowest part of the womb, and doctors had to perform an emergency Caeserean section. During the birth, Aolani's heart stopped beating and she had to be resuscitated. Her mother also lost 14 pints of blood and needed several transfusions. Aolani, who weighed just 2lb when she was born, spent the first three months of her life in intensive care. Her mother said: 'I thought she had got through the worst then they dropped this big bombshell.'I had already been through enough without having this chucked at me as well.'I'd never heard of this condition but they told me both parents had to be carriers. 'When they explained how dangerous it could be, I was terrified. 'I didn't know what to do or think.' She faced an anxious wait before tests showed Aolani was a girl and she was later allowed to take her home. Tests to determine whether Aolani has congenital adrenal hyperplasia - a rare genetic condition that causes enlarged genitals - are ongoing . But she is still waiting for the results to find out if her daughter has congenital adrenal hyperplasia. If Aolani does, she can be given treatment to help manage the condition. Aolani, who also has several birthmarks, could also have surgery to help correct the abnormal appearance of her genitals. Miss Sohrabian said: 'They didn't go into too much detail about it. It's quite personal for her so it's something for her to decide when she's older. 'Before Aolani, I'd suffered a misscarriage so having her is a gift. 'Even if Aolani was a boy she would have been perfect to me. She's my beautiful little girl. It just took me by surprise. 'All I want is for her to be a happy, healthy baby.'Dr Fiona Ryan, a consultant in Paediatric Endocrinology and Diabetes at John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, said: 'Congenital adrenal hyperplasia is caused by a genetic mutation, usually inherited from both parents. 'Individuals with CAH are deficient in a hormone called cortisol and lack of this hormone can be life threatening, especially during illness or after an accident. 'In the most common form of CAH androgen hormones are produced in excess and this can cause ambiguous genitalia at birth and difficulty in knowing if a baby is a boy or a girl.'

Havana, Cuba (CNN) -- Friends, family members and fellow dissidents on Tuesday buried Oswaldo Payá Sardiñas, a prominent critic of Cuba's socialist government. Dissident organizations reported that dozens of anti-government activists were arrested as they made their way to Paya's funeral. Video showed police pushing several dissidents into buses. The Cuban government Tuesday did not immediately respond to CNN's inquiries regarding the arrests. Payá, 60, and another dissident Harold Cepero Escalante died Sunday after the car they were traveling in crashed near La Gavina, Cuba. Two other men in the car, Spanish politician Angel Carromero and Swedish politician Aron Modig, survived and were released from the hospital on Monday. Carromero was behind the wheel when the rental car crashed said Francisco de Borja Morate Martín, a counselor in the Spanish Embassy in Havana. "He is very shaken psychologically," he said. The diplomat said that on Tuesday Carromero was, for a second day, speaking to Cuban police and was being assisted by Spain's consul to Cuba. Carromero's testimony could be key to determining how Payá, one of Cuba's best known dissidents, died. On Sunday, family members told CNN that the car he was had been run off the road by another, apparently on purpose. Details of deadly crash disputed . But a statement released by the Cuban government on Sunday said witnesses to the crash reported the car had lost control on its own and crashed into a tree. Oswaldo Payá was a long standing thorn in the side of Cuba's government, which considers dissidents to be paid mercenaries who have betrayed their own country. In 2003, Payá received the European Parliament's Sakharov prize for freedom of expression. The award is named for Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov and is awarded to those who work to promote human rights and democracy. The Varela Project, a signature drive led by Payá, delivered thousands of signed petitions asking for changes to Cuba's political system. The initiative was largely ignored by Cuba's leaders, but former President Jimmy Carter highlighted Payá's work during his trip to Cuba, the first made by a former U.S. president to Cuba since the 1959 revolution. Amid the questions that swirl around Payá's death, some of his fellow dissidents called for an end to the conspiracy theories and for a transparent investigation into how he died. "He tried to carry out reform in a nonviolent way," said fellow dissident Elizardo Sanchez. "It turns out that he died in a violent way; an absurd and strange accident." According to a government statement, Cuban police are investigating the circumstances of Paya's death. Cuban doctors battle to control cholera outbreak .

(CNN) -- A young transient who said he was trying to shake zombies off a stolen semi-trailer truck he was driving caused a major freeway incident in southern California that sent four people to the hospital and tied up traffic for hours, the California Highway Patrol said. Jerimiah Clyde Hartline, 19, was arrested in connection with the theft an 18-wheeler fully loaded with strawberries on Sunday near Temecula, according to the highway patrol. Officer Nate Baer said Hartline had been riding with truck driver Daniel Martinez since his trip started in Tennessee after being kicked out of his home. When Martinez stopped to fill out paperwork at an inspection site, he left Hartline alone in the truck, Baer said. Hartline then jumped behind the wheel of the truck, sped off and soon after crashed into several vehicles on the freeway, Baer said. Hartline was apparently under the influence of a substance that caused him to hallucinate, Baer said. "He thought zombies were chasing him and clinging to the truck," Baer said in an e-mail. According to the highway patrol, Hartline lost control of the truck and first collided with a Toyota Tacoma. The Tacoma collided with a Toyota 4Runner, and it hit a Mercedes-Benz. Two people in the Tacoma and the driver of the 4Runner were taken to hospitals. The highway patrol said the occupants of the Tacoma were seriously injured. Hartline continued driving and hit a Ford Taurus and a Honda Accord, the highway patrol said. Two people in the Taurus were taken to area hospitals. After colliding with the Taurus and Accord, the semi-trailer overturned. According to the San Diego Union Tribune, Hartline then jumped out of the truck and into a white van, demanding to be taken to another location. That driver held Hartline until authorities arrived. Hartline has been charged with taking a vehicle without the owner's consent and receiving known stolen property, court records said. What's inside a zombie?

(CNN) -- A reactor at Japan's Ohi nuclear plant will be shut down following problems with an emergency cooling system, Kansai Electric said Saturday. The move follows an emergency alarm late Friday triggered when the pressure dropped in the tank for the cooling system, company spokesperson Masaki Todatake said. Pressure returned to normal within about an hour after an injection of liquid nitrogen, but engineers plan to manually stop the No. 1 reactor at the Ohi plant in Fukui Prefecture to carry out a full inspection,Todatake said. It is not known how soon the reactor might start operating again, the company said, but there is no danger of radiation leak. The reactor's closure leaves only 18 of Japan's 54 nuclear plants producing electricity, worsening power supply problems following March's earthquake and tsunami. The 15-meter (48-foot) tsunami inundated Japan's coastal Fukushima Daiichi power plant, leading to a triple meltdown, the aftermath of which Tokyo Electric Power Co. engineers are still struggling to manage. The disaster has caused Japan to rethink its commitment to nuclear energy. Journalist Chie Kobayashi contributed to this report.

Garry Monk has promised Swansea will respond in the FA Cup at Blackburn following their Chelsea embarrassment last weekend. Swansea suffered their worst home defeat for 24 years as Jose Mourinho's Barclays Premier League leaders ran riot to win 5-0 at the Liberty Stadium, but Monk says his players have been impatient for Saturday's fourth-round cup tie at Ewood Park to come around. 'I've been on the end of those results as a player and you can't wait for the next game to come - it doesn't matter if it's a friendly,' Monk said.

'We've been fantastic this season and we just have to show what we have done in the majority of the games. 'I had a good chat with the players when they came back into training and we will respond at Blackburn.

The former centre-half played the last half-hour as a substitute in the 5-0 final victory over Bradford and is now keen to experience that feeling as a manager. 'I've watched a lot of Blackburn in recent weeks and they're a very good side,' Monk said about opponents who are 10th in the Sky Bet Championship and 21 places below Swansea on the league ladder. 'They'll want to do well at home but we want to put last week right and go on a cup run ourselves.

'I like to get any business done and dusted because I don't like leaving it to the last minute - that's why I leave it to the chairman,' Monk said.

Idlib Province, Syria (CNN) -- At first glance, it looked like movie night at the neighborhood mosque. Dozens of teenage boys sat mesmerized on the carpeted floor, staring at a screen mounted on the wall. But the show wasn't a comedy, a cartoon or a Hollywood action film. Instead, the boys' attention was captured by a locally produced instructional video demonstrating how to provide first aid to people who had abdominal injuries and appeared to be shot. "You have to check for entry and exit points," a narrator explained in Arabic, as a medic used gauze to wipe away fake blood from a volunteer's bare stomach. Not all of the demonstrations were simulations. In one segment, a male nurse narrated as he cleaned and stitched the hole in a man's scalp, the result of being grazed by a soldier's bullet. "I have operated on six similar cases [over the past year]," said the nurse, who asked not to be identified for his own safety. "In my 30 years as a nurse, I've never seen injuries like this." The video was part of a first-aid course that activists and local medical workers have provided for free to hundreds of men, women and children in this opposition-controlled town in Idlib Province. (In order to protect people interviewed for this story from reprisals, the exact location is not being identified). In between lessons on how to bandage wounds and carry unconscious victims, the presentation included snippets of amateur activist video, showing bleeding, badly wounded demonstrators being carried down Syrian streets. According to the Local Coordination Committees of Syria, a network of opposition activists, more than 8,000 people have been killed since the Syrian security forces began their crackdown on anti-government protests 11 months ago. The cycle of violence in Syria has been so deadly for so long that opposition activists have taken matters into their own hands. In addition to trauma treatment lessons, they have established what could be described as a parallel shadow system of health care for their communities. Several doctors told CNN they operated secret clinics to treat patients wounded in clashes with security forces along with invalids suffering from common ailments. Doctors in Homs struggle to save wounded children . The underground medical networks sprang up because many residents deemed it too dangerous to travel through government checkpoints to the main provincial hospital in the nearby city of Idlib. That contested city periodically echoes with bursts of heavy gunfire as rebels and government forces engage in deadly skirmishes. But doctors and residents also say they have seen a pattern of government reprisals that seemed to target health workers. "I have to hide my medical bag because what if they (Syrian authorities) find them? They would shoot me," said a Syrian dentist in another town in Idlib province. He had ample reason to be scared. As the number of protests and subsequent casualties grew last year, the dentist began using his small dental clinic as a first-aid station for wounded activists and bystanders. Instead of drilling teeth, he struggled to save men suffering from gunshots to the stomach. Then, one day last summer, he said Syrian soldiers knocked at the door of his clinic. "As soon as I opened the door, the soldier took a Kalashnikov [rifle] and hit me in the face with it," the dentist said. He said he was beaten, blindfolded and dragged out to the street, where three other doctors were being beaten. Later, captives were dragged to a car, where the dentist said a soldier sat on top of three doctors and put out cigarettes on the prisoners' hands and backs. "I thought, they must be from another country. They couldn't treat their own people this way," the dentist recalled. The dentist spent the next 45 days in a prison unit built for 60 people but crammed full of 130 prisoners. Every couple of days, he said, he was taken in for interrogation and torture, which included beatings, near-drownings in buckets of toilet water, and electric shocks to his genitals. "They started beating me and asked me, "Who did you help?'" he recounted. "I said, 'I helped an old lady.' Then they started beating me even harder." According to a recent report by the humanitarian organization Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders), the dentist's case is not an isolated one. "The Syrian regime is conducting a campaign of unrelenting repression against people wounded in demonstrations and the medical workers trying to treat them," the report concluded, adding, "Medicine is being used as a weapon of persecution." The Syrian government has repeatedly denied accusations that it is targeting civilians. It insists that its forces are fighting in self-defense against "armed terrorists." But doctors who have seen their colleagues arrested and tortured for treating wounded people disagree. "The regime knows no humanity. Bashar [al-Assad] is a doctor in name only," said one young doctor, who volunteered as a quick responder with the Syrian Red Crescent. He was referring to the Syrian president, who trained as an ophthalmologist in Britain before being propelled into the presidency by the death of his father, Hafez al-Assad, in 2000. Aid group calls for cease-fire to treat wounded . In the case of the dentist, 45 days of detention and torture in prison appeared to have only pushed him further into the Syrian opposition movement. "When I was released, the whole town was waiting for me in the street -- children, adults and old people," he said in an interview with CNN. "I immediately forgot all about the torture. And that confirmed one thing for me: that I have to help the people even more." He no longer uses his dentist's chair to treat the wounded. Now, the dentist was working with a small, secretive network of other health-care professionals to set up a network of underground field hospitals in their town in the event of a military assault. They also had gathered hundreds of first-aid kits equipped with serum, gauze and bandages and quietly distributed them to hundreds of homes in their town. "We are preparing for the threat of a battle," said the Red Crescent doctor. "This is something natural after what we saw in Homs." Rebels in Idlib province fear that after the Syrian military destroys rebel neighborhoods in Homs, the regime could turn its attention to opposition enclaves in the north of the country. Videographer killed in Homs . One group of doctors told CNN they were preparing for such an emergency by setting up their own underground blood bank. They have little other choice. According to Doctors Without Borders, all of Syria's blood banks are under the control of the Ministry of Defense. So in one rebel enclave, activists have compensated by compiling a list of potential blood donors, who have all been tested for blood types and to ensure they carry no blood diseases. Even the most careful planning, however, ran up against the obstacle of shortage of medical supplies. The activists had only succeeded in securing 100 blood container bags for a community of tens of thousands. "There's not enough medicine," said the dentist. "I've been trying to stockpile medicine. But when I treat one sick person I use almost all of it up. ... if there is a battle here and 100 people are wounded, what will we do?"

Dr Nikki Goldstein says that our busy lives are one of the main reasons why couples end up having less sex and time together . Around 90 per cent of Australian couples are having less sex than when they first met, according to new research. Sexologist Dr Nikki Goldstein told Daily Mail Australia that busy lives are one of the main reasons couples end up having less sex and time together. Couples need to build up their emotional connection and because Australian men are not taught to talk about their emotions it makes it difficult, she said. 'People need to have fun, you need to be able to laugh with your partner to make your sex life better. 'You don’t need to renovate your house into a dungeon into something like out of Fifty Shades of Grey. 'Couples just need to implement one thing into your behaviour to change things. 'Not everyone is going to do a sex tape but it's something different and fun and that is what sex should be about. The emotional connection will grow with communication' she said. The survey revealed that despite 70 per cent of couples still feeling a deep attraction towards one another, they were still unable to have regular intimacy. Dr Goldstein said: 'It is very normal for intimacy to fall by the wayside when life gets busy. 'Time seems to speed up each year with kids at school, long days at work and all of a sudden it has been days, weeks or months since you last shared some alone time with your partner.' The research conducted by Universal Sony Pictures comes as new movie Sex Tape starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Segal releases on DVD. Dr Goldstein said: 'All of a sudden it has been days, weeks or months since you last shared some alone time with your partner' Dr Goldstein says three in five Australians love talking about sex with a third of survey participants admitting to using 'naughty banter' to compare notes with friends. 'We're naturally competitive and it's our instinct to run, out drink and out do one and another, and that extends to the bedroom also,' Dr Goldstein said. She explained that the movie was a good example of how modern day life was getting in the way of people being intimate with their partners. The research is based on theDVD release of Sex Tape starring Cameron Diaz and Jason Segal . Dr Goldstein says the movie is a good example for couples to try and spice up their sex lives . 'I thought it was a really clever an example of what the modern couple is, both of them have careers, have they kids and sex is on the bottom of the list.

Many DIY sunscreens contain oils that actually speed up burning . By . Lauren Lumsden . Dermatologists are issuing harsh warnings against making your own sunblock, as hundreds of DIY formulas make their way around the internet. Many bloggers who post the recipes claim that store-bought sunscreens contain harsh chemicals that could be as bad - if not worse - for you than the sun. But doctors say there's no way to guarantee homemade concoctions offer broadband protection (that is, shield against wrinkle-inducing UVA rays as well as cancer-causing UVB-rays), or ensure that the SPF is high enough. Ouch! Doctors say that if you make your own sunscreen there's no way to guarantee yourself protection from harsh UVA and UVB rays . New York-based dermatologist Whitney Bowe told MailOnline that making and using your own sunscreen is 'effectively putting your skin at risk for melanoma.' 'Sunscreen companies invest millions of dollars formulating and testing sunscreens to ensure they are stable and effective,' she says. 'Sunscreen companies invest millions of dollars formulating and testing sunscreens to ensure they are stable and effective' 'Tests are conducted in the lab and on humans to ensure they provide broad-spectrum protection and that the ingredients remain stable and active when mixed together and exposed to heat and sun.' A quick Google or Pinterest search shows that many of the recipes call for various oils - like coconut, almond, rosehip and carrot seed oils - which can actually promote sunburns. Joshua Zeichner, another dermatologist in New York, explained to Allure that oils 'can actually absorb light, making UV rays penetrate the skin more.' 'That has the same effect as greasing up with baby lotion when you go to the beach,' he said. But even if you do use the right ingredients, like zinc oxide, cosmetic chemists say there is an art to mixing them together, and if you do it wrong - which chances are you will - the sunscreen will be ineffective. So, despite all these warnings against it, why are bloggers still trying to make their own? They say that many of the store-bought brands contain harsh chemicals that can actually alter your hormones. Their argument might not be completely without merit. Arthur Perry, a New York-based plastic surgeon and Adjunct Associate Professor of Surgery at Columbia University, explained on Doctor Oz's website that chemical sunscreens soak into the skin and get into your bloodstream. Of the 15 chemical sunscreens that exist, nine are considered 'endocrine disruptors,' meaning they interfere with the normal function of hormones. Mr Perry said that the hormones most commonly disturbed include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid. This can lead to early puberty and premature breast development in girls, small and undescended testicles in boys, low sperm counts, infertility, breast and ovarian cancers in women, and prostate cancer in men. According to the Environmental Working Group, the ingredients that are most disruptive are: oxybenzone, octinoxate, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene. A quick survey of the most commonly found sunscreens in a Duane Reade showed that almost all of them contained one or more of the above. That said, is there a healthy compromise? Are there any store-bought sunscreens without harsh chemicals? New York-based dermatologist Sherry Shieh says yes: 'The chemical-free sunscreens these days are excellent. They're fragrance-free and non-toxic.' 'There is no reason from a safety, cost, or time standpoint to make your own.' Bloggers and doctors generally agree that mineral sunscreens are best; that is, creams where the chief protection is provided by zinc oxide or titanium oxide. Brands that use these minerals include Honest, Sun Stuff, Alba Botanica, Badger, and Climb On. If you do go the natural route, keep in mind that the SPF is usually lower - so you will need to apply more often, as well as every time you get wet.

But doctors say there's no way to guarantee homemade concoctions offer broadband protection (that is, shield against wrinkle-inducing UVA rays as well as cancer-causing UVB-rays), or ensure that the SPF is high enough. Ouch! Doctors say that if you make your own sunscreen there's no way to guarantee yourself protection from harsh UVA and UVB rays . New York-based dermatologist Whitney Bowe told MailOnline that making and using your own sunscreen is 'effectively putting your skin at risk for melanoma.' 'Sunscreen companies invest millions of dollars formulating and testing sunscreens to ensure they are stable and effective,' she says. 'Sunscreen companies invest millions of dollars formulating and testing sunscreens to ensure they are stable and effective' 'Tests are conducted in the lab and on humans to ensure they provide broad-spectrum protection and that the ingredients remain stable and active when mixed together and exposed to heat and sun.' A quick Google or Pinterest search shows that many of the recipes call for various oils - like coconut, almond, rosehip and carrot seed oils - which can actually promote sunburns. Joshua Zeichner, another dermatologist in New York, explained to Allure that oils 'can actually absorb light, making UV rays penetrate the skin more.' 'That has the same effect as greasing up with baby lotion when you go to the beach,' he said. But even if you do use the right ingredients, like zinc oxide, cosmetic chemists say there is an art to mixing them together, and if you do it wrong - which chances are you will - the sunscreen will be ineffective. So, despite all these warnings against it, why are bloggers still trying to make their own? They say that many of the store-bought brands contain harsh chemicals that can actually alter your hormones. Their argument might not be completely without merit. Arthur Perry, a New York-based plastic surgeon and Adjunct Associate Professor of Surgery at Columbia University, explained on Doctor Oz's website that chemical sunscreens soak into the skin and get into your bloodstream. Of the 15 chemical sunscreens that exist, nine are considered 'endocrine disruptors,' meaning they interfere with the normal function of hormones. Mr Perry said that the hormones most commonly disturbed include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and thyroid. This can lead to early puberty and premature breast development in girls, small and undescended testicles in boys, low sperm counts, infertility, breast and ovarian cancers in women, and prostate cancer in men. According to the Environmental Working Group, the ingredients that are most disruptive are: oxybenzone, octinoxate, homosalate, octisalate, and octocrylene. A quick survey of the most commonly found sunscreens in a Duane Reade showed that almost all of them contained one or more of the above. That said, is there a healthy compromise? Are there any store-bought sunscreens without harsh chemicals? New York-based dermatologist Sherry Shieh says yes: 'The chemical-free sunscreens these days are excellent. They're fragrance-free and non-toxic.' 'There is no reason from a safety, cost, or time standpoint to make your own.' Bloggers and doctors generally agree that mineral sunscreens are best; that is, creams where the chief protection is provided by zinc oxide or titanium oxide. Brands that use these minerals include Honest, Sun Stuff, Alba Botanica, Badger, and Climb On. If you do go the natural route, keep in mind that the SPF is usually lower - so you will need to apply more often, as well as every time you get wet.

Mayflower, Arkansas (CNN) -- Tornadoes tore through several states Sunday evening as severe weather slammed into parts of the central United States. Authorities confirmed at least nine fatalities: eight in Arkansas and one in Oklahoma. Damage is "widespread" after a tornado hit Mayflower, Arkansas, and there are numerous reports of injuries, said Matt DeCample, a spokesman for the state's governor. Damage is also widespread in Vilonia, north of Little Rock, he said. "I can't even get down the main street down to the middle of town," Vilonia Mayor James Firestone said. "I am trying to make my way through the downed trees and power lines. What I am seeing, it is a lot of damage. I've been listening to the rescue folks. They're saying people have to be extracted from vehicles. ... It looks pretty bad. From what I understand, there has been a subdivision that's been leveled." In Mayflower, overturned, smashed cars were visible along the freeway as search and rescue teams combed the area. Video from CNN affiliate KARK showed a decimated building in Mayflower surrounded by scattered debris and emergency vehicles. Interstate 40 was shut down as authorities removed debris from the highway after the tornado struck Mayflower, said Arkansas State Patrol spokesman Bill Sadler. Mayflower is roughly 25 miles northwest of Little Rock. The National Weather Service's Little Rock office tweeted a series of messages warning of tornadoes, reporting damage and telling residents to take cover. A tornado crossing I-40 "was reported to be as much as a half-mile wide," the weather service said. Officials reported overturned semi-trucks and destroyed homes, the weather service said. Witnesses also spotted a twister in the Oklahoma town of Quapaw on Sunday, an emergency official said, as severe weather slammed into parts of the central United States. Joe Dan Morgan, emergency manager in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, said ambulances had deployed after reports of a funnel on the ground in Quapaw, and rescuers were working in an area where a concrete wall crashed onto a car. Numerous buildings in the town were damaged, said Keli Cain with Oklahoma Emergency Management. Kelly Flecks, an emergency dispatcher in Ottawa County, also said a tornado hit the town. "Search and rescue is under way involving several agencies," she said. "Please tell the public to stay away so they can do their jobs. We can't confirm anything else at the moment. Quapaw is in the northeastern part of the state, near the borders with Kansas and Missouri. Also Sunday evening, a tornado emergency was declared for Maumelle, Arkansas, the weather service said. Maumelle is also northwest of Little Rock in central Arkansas. Storm spotters were tracking a confirmed tornado with reports of damage, the weather service said. A tornado emergency is issued when a storm is producing a life-threatening, confirmed tornado capable of significant destruction. Strong tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail were expected for parts of the Central Plains and along the Mississippi River Valley on Sunday, CNN meteorologists said. Forecasters from the weather service warned that numerous tornadoes could hit, "with a few intense tornadoes likely." Large hail and damaging winds are also possible, forecasters said. Storm chasers and witnesses posted images of twisters in several states on social media. Mike Smith from TeamBCX shared a picture of white funnel spinning against a dark sky near a field in Baxter Springs, Kansas, where there were several reports of damage from a tornado Sunday.

Nato would not be able to stop a Russian invasion of Eastern Europe because of years of military cuts, one of Britain’s top generals has warned. General Sir Richard Shirreff, who stepped down from his post as Nato deputy supreme commander earlier this year, said the military alliance needed to rearm if it was serious about defending itself in the future. Asked about the crisis in Ukraine, he said: ‘The reality is that Nato would be very hard pressed and they would find it very difficult to put into the field, at sea or into the air the means required, particularly on land I would assess, to counter any form of Russian adventurism.’ Scroll down for video... General Sir Richard Shirreff (left) and the Nato secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen (right) have called for the military alliance's armed forces to be modernised . His remarks came after the Nato secretary general Anders Fogh Rasmussen revealed that the organisation will deploy forces at new bases in eastern Europe for the first time, in response to the crisis in Ukraine. The move is an attempt to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from causing trouble in the former Soviet Baltic republics, according to Mr Rasmussen. He said the organisations's summit in Wales next week would overcome divisions within the alliance and agree to new deployments on Russia's borders – a move certain to trigger a strong reaction from Moscow. He also outlined moves to boost Ukraine's security, ‘modernise’ its armed forces and help the country counter the threat from Russia. During the Cold War the Soviet Union had a buffer zone of 'Warsaw Pact' allies, separating its border from the capitalist world . Russia has become increasingly concerned over the growing strength of Nato, which has spread east . His former colleague General Shireff, speaking on BBC Newsnight last night, said Nato needed urgent investment. He said: ‘Certainly western Europe would not be able to defend in my view against Russia without significant support from the Americans. ‘Nato would find it really difficult to get a division (20,000 people) out of the door in quick time. ‘Because certainly in western Europe what we have seen progressively is a dismantling of military capability.’ David Cameron will host next week's Nato summit in Wales amid warnings over Russian aggression in Eastern Europe . He accepted that advocating rearmament would be unpopular, but added: ‘It is a message our political leadership need to take home and listen to and act on if they are serious about ensuring that Nato has the means to defend itself in the future. ‘If Nato is serious about this, it is going to have to rearm, it is going to have to rebuild capability. European nations are going to have to put their hands in their pockets to spend more money on defence.’ Currently just four out of the 28 members spend more than the minimum target of two per cent of GDP on defence. Asked about the situation in Iraq, Sir Richard stressed the threat posed by IS, formerly known as ISIS or ISIL, had to be eradicated. He told the programme: ‘The first priority is to protect but ultimately the priority must be to eradicate IS as an external threat because of the potential impact on the Middle East ... but also its potential impact if its incubus is allowed to survive ... on our external security. There is (also) a very clear issue as far as internal security is concerned.’ When questioned about whether this meant siding with President Bashar Assad in Syria, he replied: ‘There can be no eradication of IS as a threat without a regional approach. ‘IS is operating and has spread into Syria and therefore there is likely to be or inevitably going to be a need to sit down and talk to difficult bed fellows, bad people. ‘It is one thing to say that we are going to deal with it, but you have to back up your words with actions and therefore in my view we should rule out nothing. ‘We must apply all the levers of power, political, diplomatic, economic and of course of military, but above all we need to establish the international political will to deal with this.’

Chancellor George Osborne urged people not to go to A&E if they do not need to . The A&E crisis has left patients to be treated in store cupboards because their is not enough room in clinical areas, George Osborne was warned today. The Chancellor said the treatment was a 'matter of regret' for the whole government as he urged people not to go to A&E if they do not need to. It comes as leaked figures show that last week every NHS trust missed the target for seeing patients in A&E within four hours. The soaring number of visits has been blamed on an ageing population and patients flocking to hospitals to have minor ailments treated. The government has come under increasing pressure over the winter crisis in the NHS, with Labour vowing to make the health service a central plank of its election campaign. Senior doctors warn that since April there have been more than 14 million visits to A&E, a rise of 446,049 on the previous year. NHS bosses warn it could take up to five years to tackle the problems causing backlogs in A&E departments. Appearing on ITV's Good Morning Britain, Mr Osborne was challenged over the story of a viewer who was looked after in a store cupboard because there was no room for him in the A&E department. The Chancellor said: 'Every time a patient doesn't get the treatment that they deserve, that's a matter of regret. It is a matter of regret to me, it is a matter of regret to every member of the Government. First thing I'd say is the NHS staff is doing a brilliant job. 'We've put a lot of money into the NHS, partly because we've prioritised it, partly because we have a strong and growing economy.' He went on: 'There are more nurses, more doctors, but the truth is, I think everyone will understand this, there a rea lot more people going to A&E, more than a million more people going to A&E. 'I think we need to make sure that people have all the information they need about where they need to go if they feel there is something wrong with and they're not feeling well. And A&E is not always the answer for people. 'We've got to address why people aren't going to doctors surgeries, why they're not necessarily phoning the helplines that are available.' The soaring number of visits to A&E has been blamed on an ageing population and patients flocking to hospitals to have minor ailments treated . It comes as ministers brace themselves for the latest set of waiting times figures for January 5 and 11. Data obtained by the Daily Mirror shows that every trust in England, excluding foundation trusts, has failed to hit the target of treating 95 per cent of A&E patients within four hours. In some areas last week a third of people had to wait for more than four hours. Professor Keith Willett, who led a review of England's casualty units, yesterday insisted there was 'quick fix' to the chaos in many hospitals, which has seen the numbers visiting A&E surge by 400,000 since April as a result of the NHS 111 helpline. More doctors and nurses need to be recruited and the funding system changed to reduce waiting times and prevent bed blocking by elderly patients waiting for social care. Professor Keith Willett insisted there was 'quick fix' to the chaos in many hospitals, which has seen the numbers visiting A&E surge by 400,000 since April. Giving evidence to the health select committee, he said the entire health system needed to be overhauled to ensure changes in one area do not impact other parts of the NHS. 'We have had numerous examples over numerous years of doing one really good initiative in one part of the pathway and it doesn't have the effect we expect because the rest of the pathway is sufficiently busy to negate the advantages of that.' A Department of Health spokesperson said: 'We know the NHS is busier than ever before, which is why we've given a record £700million this winter for 700 more doctors, nearly 4500 more nurses and 5000 more beds. 'The NHS has ensured there are plans in every area to manage the extra demand.'

(CNN) -- Dr. J. Stephen Jones had seven vasectomies to perform in a day. Some urologists around the country are reporting increased numbers of patients coming in for vasectomies. The schedule for Jones, a Cleveland, Ohio, urologist, has become more crowded during a recent boom in vasectomies. "My staff came to me and said, what's happening?" said Jones, the chairman of the Department of Regional Urology of Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute at the Cleveland Clinic. "Why are we suddenly having an explosion in guys asking for vasectomies?" They looked at their statistics and realized the uptick started around November as the economic crisis deepened. October went down in the history books as one of Wall Street's worst months. Since then, the Cleveland Clinic has seen a 50 percent increase in vasectomies, an outpatient surgery that is the cheapest form of permanent birth control. Vasectomies are less invasive and cheaper than tubal ligation, which involves blocking, tieing or cutting a woman's fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy. "It's unlikely that some guy read the Dow Jones numbers that day and said, 'Why don't we have a vasectomy?' " Jones said. "More likely, people have already been considering it and typically a guy and his wife have spoken a year or two about this." Jones was told by patients that they were getting vasectomies because they were losing their jobs and health insurance, or concerned about being out of work soon. "They realize they don't have the financial security long-term with what's going on," Jones said. "Several of them have mentioned, 'We can't afford to have any more children in this economy.' My perception is that it's more of the concept of raising children in an uncertain economic future." Much like Jones, Dr. Marc Goldstein, surgeon-in-chief of male reproductive medicine and surgery at the Cornell Institute for Reproductive Medicine in New York, saw a 48 percent increase in vasectomy consultations compared with the same time last year. "I have never seen anything like this," said Goldstein, a urologist for the last 30 years. "When things started to go south in the stock market, then the vasectomy consults went north." Half of Goldstein's New York patients work in the financial sector. New patients filed into his office in November. "I think the situation of finance and the economy is the major reason," Goldstein said. "Some of them have mentioned that, 'It cost $30,000 a year to put my kids in private school and I can't afford to have another one.' It's never the sole reason, but it's certainly a contributing factor." During the vasectomy, the doctor cuts the two vas deferens, which are the tubes carrying sperm from the testicles to become semen. After the procedure, men can still have sex, but their semen does not contain sperm and therefore they can no longer father children. Doctors can attempt to reverse the procedure, but vasectomy reversals are expensive and only work half the time in restoring sperm flow. Carl Haub, a demographer with the Population Reference Bureau, a private research firm, said the National Center for Health Statistics' data showed that, "During bad economic times, the Depression and the recession in the 1970s, the birth rate did go down." See the chart on fertility rates in the United States from 1917 to 2007 » . "Some folks will postpone having kids," he said. "If you had a vasectomy, you've made a bigger decision that you're never going to have another child." When people stop having children, it implies a loss of confidence in their future employment prospects. "Am I going to have a job in six months or a year from now?" Haub said. "If I'm concerned about that, people are not going to increase their financial obligations... It's naïve to say the economy didn't play a significant role in lowering the birth rate." It's too early to tell whether this recession has crimped the birth rate, Haub said. At this point, most of the evidence of increased vasectomies has been anecdotal from practicing urologists, because there is no national registry for sterilizations. The number of appointment requests spiked 30 percent in January 2009 on the Web site vasectomy.com, which links people with local urologists. But throughout the last few months, appointment requests have been fairly level, said Dr. Ted Benderev, founder of the site. Dr. Lawrence Ross, a professor of urology at the University of Illinois at Chicago and former president of the American Urological Association, said the school's clinics have seen moderate increases in the last six months to a year and that vasectomies are growing popular among lower-income clients. "My guess is that since economic times have worsened, people are concerned about their ability to raise larger families and are opting for more permanent birth control," Ross said. People who are concerned about losing their health insurance are trying to take advantage of the coverage for a procedure they've long considered. "It may have something to do with the economy," said Dr. Bryan Kansas, a urologist. "I can't count on my hands, in the last three months, the number of times someone has said they're about to lose their insurance and ask to squeeze them in." He and his colleagues have seen a similar uptick in their Austin, Texas, practice called The Urology Team. Throughout March Madness, Kansas' office has a special on vasectomies called, "Vas-Madness" to capitalize on their patient's obsession with the college basketball tournament. Patients "would love to have a procedure, go home and sit there when you've got all-day programming, watch basketball," Kansas said. After the less-than-hourlong procedure, patients usually spend a day or two recovering, moving gingerly and icing the soreness. Some men time their vasectomies around the time of major sports events such as the Masters Golf Tournament and the NCAA basketball tournament to keep themselves entertained during recovery. Vasectomies are likely to produce tenderness, discomfort and slight swelling and the patient is usually able to return to usual activities within a week.
Urologists report a higher demand for vasectomies in recent months . In New York, vasectomies increase after stocks tumble in fall 2008 . During recessions, people have fewer children, according to health statistics .

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.(CNN) -- Dr. J. Stephen Jones had seven vasectomies to perform in a day. Some urologists around the country are reporting increased numbers of patients coming in for vasectomies. The schedule for Jones, a Cleveland, Ohio, urologist, has become more crowded during a recent boom in vasectomies. "My staff came to me and said, what's happening?" said Jones, the chairman of the Department of Regional Urology of Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute at the Cleveland Clinic. "Why are we suddenly having an explosion in guys asking for vasectomies?" They looked at their statistics and realized the uptick started around November as the economic crisis deepened. October went down in the history books as one of Wall Street's worst months. Since then, the Cleveland Clinic has seen a 50 percent increase in vasectomies, an outpatient surgery that is the cheapest form of permanent birth control. Vasectomies are less invasive and cheaper than tubal ligation, which involves blocking, tieing or cutting a woman's fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy. "It's unlikely that some guy read the Dow Jones numbers that day and said, 'Why don't we have a vasectomy?' " Jones said. "More likely, people have already been considering it and typically a guy and his wife have spoken a year or two about this." Jones was told by patients that they were getting vasectomies because they were losing their jobs and health insurance, or concerned about being out of work soon. "They realize they don't have the financial security long-term with what's going on," Jones said. "Several of them have mentioned, 'We can't afford to have any more children in this economy.' My perception is that it's more of the concept of raising children in an uncertain economic future." Much like Jones, Dr. Marc Goldstein, surgeon-in-chief of male reproductive medicine and surgery at the Cornell Institute for Reproductive Medicine in New York, saw a 48 percent increase in vasectomy consultations compared with the same time last year. "I have never seen anything like this," said Goldstein, a urologist for the last 30 years. "When things started to go south in the stock market, then the vasectomy consults went north." Half of Goldstein's New York patients work in the financial sector. New patients filed into his office in November. "I think the situation of finance and the economy is the major reason," Goldstein said. "Some of them have mentioned that, 'It cost $30,000 a year to put my kids in private school and I can't afford to have another one.' It's never the sole reason, but it's certainly a contributing factor." During the vasectomy, the doctor cuts the two vas deferens, which are the tubes carrying sperm from the testicles to become semen. After the procedure, men can still have sex, but their semen does not contain sperm and therefore they can no longer father children. Doctors can attempt to reverse the procedure, but vasectomy reversals are expensive and only work half the time in restoring sperm flow. Carl Haub, a demographer with the Population Reference Bureau, a private research firm, said the National Center for Health Statistics' data showed that, "During bad economic times, the Depression and the recession in the 1970s, the birth rate did go down." See the chart on fertility rates in the United States from 1917 to 2007 » . "Some folks will postpone having kids," he said. "If you had a vasectomy, you've made a bigger decision that you're never going to have another child." When people stop having children, it implies a loss of confidence in their future employment prospects. "Am I going to have a job in six months or a year from now?" Haub said. "If I'm concerned about that, people are not going to increase their financial obligations... It's naïve to say the economy didn't play a significant role in lowering the birth rate." It's too early to tell whether this recession has crimped the birth rate, Haub said. At this point, most of the evidence of increased vasectomies has been anecdotal from practicing urologists, because there is no national registry for sterilizations. The number of appointment requests spiked 30 percent in January 2009 on the Web site vasectomy.com, which links people with local urologists. But throughout the last few months, appointment requests have been fairly level, said Dr. Ted Benderev, founder of the site. Dr. Lawrence Ross, a professor of urology at the University of Illinois at Chicago and former president of the American Urological Association, said the school's clinics have seen moderate increases in the last six months to a year and that vasectomies are growing popular among lower-income clients. "My guess is that since economic times have worsened, people are concerned about their ability to raise larger families and are opting for more permanent birth control," Ross said. People who are concerned about losing their health insurance are trying to take advantage of the coverage for a procedure they've long considered. "It may have something to do with the economy," said Dr. Bryan Kansas, a urologist. "I can't count on my hands, in the last three months, the number of times someone has said they're about to lose their insurance and ask to squeeze them in." He and his colleagues have seen a similar uptick in their Austin, Texas, practice called The Urology Team. Throughout March Madness, Kansas' office has a special on vasectomies called, "Vas-Madness" to capitalize on their patient's obsession with the college basketball tournament. Patients "would love to have a procedure, go home and sit there when you've got all-day programming, watch basketball," Kansas said. After the less-than-hourlong procedure, patients usually spend a day or two recovering, moving gingerly and icing the soreness. Some men time their vasectomies around the time of major sports events such as the Masters Golf Tournament and the NCAA basketball tournament to keep themselves entertained during recovery. Vasectomies are likely to produce tenderness, discomfort and slight swelling and the patient is usually able to return to usual activities within a week.

Eoin Morgan made a cameo appearance for Sydney Thunder in his first outing since his appointment as England one-day captain, contributing an unbeaten 12 in their resounding 56-run victory over Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League. The Middlesex batsman was handed the national team role on Saturday, replacing Alastair Cook ahead of the tri-series against Australia and India and the World Cup, which begins in February. Eoin Morgan helped the Thunder beat Brisbane Heat . Morgan was named as England captain last week and helped Sydney Thunder to victory in the Big Bash . Andrew Flintoff was making his Big Bash debut for Brisbane but it was a performance to forget as the former England all-rounder conceded 25 runs in the two overs he bowled and was then dismissed for a duck. Andrew Flintoff did not have a good game with the bat - he was out for a duck . Flintoff did not have any joy with the ball conceding 25 runs off his two overs . Michael Hussey (96) and Jacques Kallis (97 not out) had already done the leg work for Sydney in an opening partnership of 160 before Morgan arrived at the crease for the final three overs, in which he faced five balls and smashed a four and a six. That left Brisbane chasing a victory target of 209, but they were unable to rise to the challenge and were skittled out for 152 within 18 overs.

Two thirds of Australia's 2.7 million smokers are likely to die ten years earlier due to their habit, a new study has revealed. However smokers who quit by the age of 45 wipe away most of their increased death risk, the first large-scale, direct evidence on smoking and mortality in Australia has shown. Researchers from Sydney's Sax Institute followed 200,000 Australians aged 45 and over for four years, finding death rates among smokers were about three times higher than in non-smokers. Scroll down for video . A four year study by the Sax Institute has found that two thirds of Australia's 2.7 million smokers are likely to die ten years earlier due to their habit . Those who smoked 10-a-day were about twice as likely to die early, while a habit of 25-a-day raised the risk by up to fivefold. 'If you are smoking, the chances are it will kill you if you keep on going,' said lead author Professor Emily Banks of Sydney's Sax Institute and the Australian National University. 'If you are a gambler, it's not a very good bet. The good news is that if you quit the benefits are clear and lasting.' The 45 and Up Study, published in the journal BMC Medicine on Tuesday, is the best large-scale evidence on smoking and death in Australia and confirms recent findings from studies in both the U.S. and the UK, Prof Banks says. Those who smoked 10-a-day were about twice as likely to die early, while a habit of 25-a-day raised the risk by up to fivefold . 'It is a huge wake-up call for Australia. We know smoking is the cause of a wide range of diseases but we now have direct evidence from Australia that shows just how hazardous it is. Even ten cigarettes a day will double your risk of dying prematurely. Smokers greatly underestimate or do not understand the seriousness of these risks,' Professor Banks said. Laureate Professor Alan Lopez, one of the study authors and the director of the Global Burden of Disease Group, praised Australia's tobacco control measures - including heightening prices - which he said have brought smoking rates down to 12.8 per cent - the lowest in the Western world. But he said the results were a reminder that there was no safe level of smoking. Researchers f followed 200,000 Australians aged 45 and over for four years, finding death rates among smokers were about three times higher than in non-smokers . 'While Australia is a world leader in tobacco control, the battle to reduce the public health consequences of tobacco use is far from over… While this is gratifying, it is still 13 percent too many; 2.7 million Australians still smoke,' Professor Lopez said. 'Our findings revealed that up to two in every three Australians who smoke can be expected to die from their habit if they don't quit. Their risk of dropping dead at any age is three times that of non-smokers,' he said. 'These are enormous risks and highlight the importance of government staying the course on tobacco control. Local tobacco control policy ought to be more responsive to this new and compelling local evidence,' he said.

Paris (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday that Saudi Arabia will support military intervention in Syria by the United States and its partners. "They have supported the strike and they support taking action," Kerry said after a long meeting of Arab League ministers originally called to discuss the Mideast peace initiative. "They believe that it's very important to do that." Kerry told reporters he had a very good side meeting with Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal, and Saudi Arabia was one of the countries to sign on to a statement condemning the reported use of chemical weapons last month by the Syrian military against rebels. Saudi Arabia is a diplomatic heavyweight in the Arab world but hasn't publicly called for an international military reprisal after the incident. With its vast air force and bases, Saudi Arabia could offer a lot of resources to Western militaries. But it's not expected to participate directly in any attack on Syria, because that would be likely to inflame a widespread Arabian Peninsula antipathy against Western military forces intruding into Arab affairs. Kerry also said the Arab League ministers unanimously condemned the August 21 incident. "As we discussed today, all of us agreed -- not one dissenter -- that (Syrian President Bashar) al-Assad's deplorable use of chemical weapons -- which we know killed hundreds of innocent people, including at least 426 children on this occasion, this one occasion -- this crosses an international, global red line," he said. He said the foreign ministers discussed the "possible and necessary measures" needed to deter al-Assad from using chemical weapons again. Kerry said a "number of countries immediately signed on" to an agreement reached by 12 countries on the side at the recent G20 summit. And while he named Saudi Arabia as one of those nations, he said the others that had agreed to help would make their announcements in the next day. The statement called for a "strong international response" and "supports efforts undertaken by the United States and other countries to reinforce the prohibition on the use of chemical weapons." It did not expressly endorse military action, although U.S. officials said the nations who signed it interpreted the statement as tacit support for strikes. The Syrian government has denied being behind chemical weapons attacks, which it blames on rebels. Al-Assad on Sunday denied again he had anything to do with the use of chemical agents, U.S. journalist Charlie Rose reported. The PBS anchor and CBS "This Morning" co-host said al-Assad told him during an interview to be broadcast Monday that Syria was prepared to retaliate if there was a military strike by the United States and its partners. "It doesn't surprise us that someone who would kill thousands of his own people, including hundreds of children, with poison gas would also lie about it," a spokeswoman for the National Security Council, Bernadette Meehan, said. Al-Assad's rare interview with U.S. media comes as U.S. President Barack Obama lobbies Congress and the country to support military action. Congress officially returns to Washington Monday after a monthlong summer recess to debate and vote on a resolution giving Obama the authorization to take military action. The president will go to Capitol Hill on Tuesday and make his case to Senate Democrats, a Senate leadership aide said Sunday. Obama will also address the nation on Syria Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET from the White House. Videos that purport to show the results of a chemical weapons attack are part of a White House campaign to inform Congress about the nature of the incident, Kerry said. "The reason for this is to make sure everybody understands what is at stake," he said. "Those videos make it clear to people that these are real human beings, real children, parents being affected in ways that are unacceptable to anybody, anywhere, by any standard." He said a vast majority of the members are undecided as to how they will vote on authorizing force against Syria. Qatari Foreign Minister Khalid bin Mohamed al-Attiyah appeared at the news conference with Kerry. "Qatar is currently studying with its friends and the United Nations what it could provide in order to protect the Syrian people," he said, according to a translator. Kerry met later with UK Foreign Secretary William Hague in London on Sunday. Britain's Parliament has ruled out getting militarily involved in Syria, but Prime Minister David Cameron has pledged to continue to push for a tough response against the al-Assad regime. Kerry's efforts with European allies paralleled those of his boss, Obama, who tried to rally members of the G20 in St. Petersburg, Russia, last week. Obama met with his Russian counterpart, President Vladimir Putin, on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg summit Friday. But despite both saying the talks were constructive, there was no sign of consensus. CNN's Elise Labott reported from Paris. CNN's Steve Almasy reported and wrote from Atlanta. CNN's Nic Robertson, Nick Paton Walsh and Kevin Liptak contributed to this story.

(CNN) -- On Friday, Kanye West stopped a concert in Sydney to demand that everyone stand up. He looked around the crowd, pointing out those slow to rise. He said, "Unless you got a handicap pass and you get special parking and s**t," he simply would not continue the show until everyone was on their feet. The crowd shouted, "Stand up!" or even, "F***ing stand up!" After a minute, West pointed out two people who, he said, "don't want to stand up." One of them waved a prosthetic leg in the air, so West turned to the last holdout. He demanded to know if the fan was in a wheelchair. The crowd laughed. He complained, "This is the longest I've had to wait to do a song, it's unbelievable." Finally, as the crowd was shouting that the fan was in a wheelchair, West sent a bodyguard to verify it, then finally started his song, "The Good Life." Reaction to this incident throughout social media and in numerous publications was swift and condemnatory. West, in return, lashed out at the media. But in fact, although West's celebrity magnifies the story, the bigger issue here is that his demand that his fans prove their disability is entirely typical. Every day, in every context, people with disabilities get challenged to prove how disabled they are. This constant questioning isolates people with disabilities, increases stress and shame, and can lead directly to verbal or even physical abuse. Here are a few examples: . A few weeks ago, actor George Takei shared a meme showing a woman standing up from a wheelchair at a grocery store to reach a liquor bottle. The caption, "There has been a miracle in the alcohol isle," suggested that this woman wasn't really that disabled if she could stand up to get some booze. Disability advocates protested and Takei initially told them to lighten up, but he has subsequently apologized. I was alerted to the story by a woman who can walk about 100 feet before needing her chair, and who goes through life worried about being accused of faking. The parking lot, with its handicapped spots, can be particularly fraught for people with invisible disabilities. On my Facebook page, one of my readers remarked that, "All I see are looks of disapproval, barely veiled disgust and constant scrutiny. I'd gladly trade my 'good' parking space for being able to walk more than 25 yards at a time." Who knows how many people with invisible disabilities, managing pain, enjoying the concert, were forced to their feet by the glare of Kanye West and the peer pressure of the shouting crowd? Invisible disability also gets people in trouble with the law. When a disabled person doesn't react the way a law enforcement officer thinks he or she should, violence often follows. But visible disability is no protection. In 2008, as shown in a disturbing video, a Florida deputy didn't believe a man who had been arrested on a traffic violation was really a quadriplegic, so she dumped him onto the floor to see if he would use his legs out of duress. These are just a few of the ways we constantly demand that people with disabilities prove themselves. We do it because, to the not-disabled, claiming disability seems to have a kind of power. Thanks to the Americans with Disabilities Act, to claim disability is to ask for reasonable accommodation -- accessible buildings, more time on tests, audible formats for books, Social Security disability payments, and more. Too many people seem to regard the request to accommodate as a burden and meet such requests with suspicion. The not-disabled exercise their privilege by demanding that people prove their disabilities; then, all too often, proof just generates pity, not understanding or inclusion. By demanding everyone rise, by calling out the disabled members of his audience even as he grudgingly tolerated their inability to stand, West was being totally normal. If you think what he did was wrong, remember that the next time you are tempted to stare down someone walking from a handicapped spot at the grocery store. Remember that the next time someone managing pain can't make it into work. Remember that the next time a student needs a little more time on a test. Because the problem isn't that West was so thoughtless, although he was. The problem is that he learned this thoughtlessness from us.
Kanye West insisted audience members stand before he would sing song in Australia concert . He relented when those who didn't stand turned out to have disabilities . David Perry says it's not at all unusual for people to be asked to prove their disabilities . Perry: Don't blame just Kanye West for conduct that many of us routinely engage in .

By demanding everyone rise, by calling out the disabled members of his audience even as he grudgingly tolerated their inability to stand, West was being totally normal. If you think what he did was wrong, remember that the next time you are tempted to stare down someone walking from a handicapped spot at the grocery store. Remember that the next time someone managing pain can't make it into work. Remember that the next time a student needs a little more time on a test. Because the problem isn't that West was so thoughtless, although he was. The problem is that he learned this thoughtlessness from us.

(CNN) -- Acts of kindness will help pull the nation through its economic crisis, according to the woman who came to the rescue of a homeless Floridian who publicly appealed to President Obama. Henrietta Hughes, left, and Chene Thompson talk on the lawn of the home Thompson is letting Hughes use. Chene Thompson, the wife of state Rep. Nicholas Thompson, R-Fort Myers, is letting Henrietta Hughes and her son stay in a house she owns in nearby La Belle rent free until they get back on their feet. "You don't have to be a politician to put forth a stimulus package," Chene Thompson said during a joint interview with Hughes Thursday on CNN's "American Morning." "This is our own little mini-stimulus package for a person who was a stranger and now is a friend. "Anybody can help anybody at any time. It doesn't need to be something that comes from Washington; it can come from your own home and from your heart, even if it's for a little bit." Hughes emerged from the crowd at Tuesday's town hall meeting in Fort Myers to tell Obama she and her son were living in a car and needed immediate help. The president asked her name, kissed her on the cheek and promised his staff would work with her. Watch Hughes' emotional plea to Obama » . Thompson, who was in the audience, stepped forward afterward to offer Hughes her vacant house, which the Thompsons had to leave because it is outside her husband's legislative district. "She was sincere and direct and to the point, and she needed help," Thompson said. "And it actually touched me and I started to tear up and I started to cry. ... It sort of broke my heart." Hughes feels "overwhelming gratitude," she told CNN in the front yard of the house, "because no one would do that." "Oh, yes they would! Yes they would!" Thompson interjected, wrapping an arm around Hughes' shoulders. "I was just in the right place at the right time." Both women beamed. The house has remained unsold in southwest Florida's depressed market, Thompson said. She continues to be responsible for paying the mortgage, property taxes, insurance and utilities, so it benefits her to have someone occupying it to keep it from becoming run-down, she said. According to the White House, the Fort Myers-Cape Coral area had the highest foreclosure rate in the nation last year, with 12 percent of housing units receiving a foreclosure-related notice. Median housing prices in the Fort Myers metropolitan area have plummeted from $322,000 in December 2005 to less than $107,000 in December 2008, the Obama administration said. Nearly 12,000 jobs have been lost in Fort Myers in the past year. White House spokesman Joshua Earnest said Wednesday that the administration connected Hughes with local housing officials in the crowd. On Wednesday, the head of the local housing authority, Marcus Goodson, said he met with Hughes and is working on finding her a subsidized housing unit with a short waiting time. Hughes on Thursday urged Congress to approve legislation to deal with the housing crisis. "If that would pass, that would help many other -- hundreds and thousands of -- low-income persons to receive housing," she said. CNN's Ed Hornick and Mary Snow contributed to this report.

Abu Dhabi (CNN) -- In a series of blunt tweets over the holiday weekend, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei entered America's debate on race and police violence -- comparing unrest in states like New York and Missouri to conflicts in the Middle East. On Sunday he tweeted: "#Jesus endured sufferings to oppose tyrants who had put humans in hell in this world& the hereafter while he backed the oppressed. #Ferguson" Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the country's chief political and religious authority, acknowledged the role of Jesus in Islamic theology and compared the biblical prophet's struggle to that of black people in the United States. The tweet included #BlackLivesMatter, a hashtag popularized in recent weeks by supporters of Eric Garner, a 43-year old African-American man that died after being put in a chokehold by a NYPD officer. It read: "It's expected that followers of #Jesus follow him in his fight against arrogants and in his support for the oppressed. #BlackLivesMatter" On Christmas Eve, the Ayatollah lumped the struggle of Palestinians in the Gaza strip with protests in Ferguson, Missouri, where black teenager Michael Brown was shot dead by police, and called on members of all three monotheistic faiths to stand-up against oppression. The tweet said: "#Jesus like all prophets was herald of monotheism& human dignity; nowadays humanity needs this message more than ever.#Ferguson #Gaza 1/1/93" The unverified Twitter account, widely accepted as the mouthpiece of the Ayatollah's social media campaign, often posts diatribes against the West and Israel to its more than 91,000 followers. In August of this year, the leader published a poignant image that criticized President Barack Obama's support for Israel during the country's military operation to debilitate Hamas, a group many Western nations including the U.S. designate as a terrorist organization. "US govt has subjugated a great nation w/ massive resources to a criminal regime like #Israel.10/31/12 #Ferguson #Gaza," it said. In response, some Twitter users accused the Ayatollah of hypocrisy, and tweeted him with hashtags such as #AllLivesMatter, #GayLivesMatter and #KurdishLivesMatter. Human rights groups and observers regularly criticize the country for its poor record on executions, the treatment of political prisoners, and women. In its 2013 report on Iran, Human Rights Watch said: "Many civil society activists remained in prison on political charges. Authorities regularly subjected prisoners, especially those convicted on politically motivated charges, to abuse and deprive them of necessary medical treatment. "Iranian women continued to face discrimination in many areas including personal status matters. Authorities restricted political participation and employment of minority groups, who account for about 10% of the population." 2013: Iran reaches out on Twitter at Christmas .

(CNN) -- No issue has been hotter throughout the run-up to the election than jobs -- and both candidates took pains to tackle the issue during their first debate Wednesday at the University of Denver. "Over the last 30 months, we've seen 5 million jobs in the private sector created," Democratic incumbent Barack Obama said. The facts: . In 2009, Obama's first full year in office, people in states across the country were losing their jobs at a startling clip. In Ohio, the unemployment rate was 10.6%. But over the next few years, the nation saw slow increases in employment in the retail, education and health care sectors. Today, most states are gaining jobs. The key swing state of Ohio now has a 7.2% unemployment rate. The Bureau of Labor Statistics confirms that a lot of jobs have been created under Obama's leadership -- 4.4 million by the bureau's latest count. What Obama did not say, however, was that the nation shed 4.3 million jobs during the early days of his term, and that the net gain since he took the oath of office in January 2009 is just 125,000 jobs. Complete coverage of CNN's Fact Checks . Conclusion: . Many voters blame that initial weakness on the fractured economy Obama inherited from his Republican predecessor, former President George W. Bush. But in terms of sheer numbers, Obama's assertion that he created 5 million jobs does not tell the whole story and is therefore false. Also during the debate, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney said that 23 million people are out of work in the nation. "There is suffering in this country," said Romney. "And we talk about evidence. Look at the evidence of the last four years. It's absolutely extraordinary. We've got 23 million people out of work." The facts: . When the recession began, workers in every category lost jobs, but those in the middle and higher wage groups lost more of them. And when the jobs started coming back, the lower-wage jobs came back stronger. That means that, while the nation has replaced lost jobs, many of those new jobs pay less than the old ones did. To reach his 23 million figure, Romney counts everyone who is unemployed, has stopped looking for work or is underemployed -- working for less money than before or able to find only a part-time job. Conclusion: . Romney is stretching his figures to the breaking point -- which makes his claim false. What it all means: . If history is any guide, the employment figures could prove key in this race. In August, the U.S. unemployment rate was 8.1%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. No president has been re-elected with an unemployment rate above 8% since Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s, during the Great Depression. Fact Check: Oil and gas production .

By . Deborah Arthurs . UPDATED: . 20:32 EST, 4 January 2012 . Birthday girl: With the Duchess of Cambridge set to turn 30 on 9 January, William is rumoured to be commissioning an oil portrait of his new wife to mark the occasion . With a party-planning socialite for a . sister and a brother-in-law as well-connected as Prince Harry, the . Duchess of Cambridge's 30th birthday was never going to be allowed to . pass without fanfare. Sure enough, when Kate enters her fourth decade on 9 January next week, Pippa and Harry will be on hand to ensure proceedings go off with a bang. According to Grazia magazine who names a 'royal source' as their mole, the fun-loving two have planned an Eighties-themed birthday party for Kate complete with cocktails and karaoke. The magazine revealed that Pippa and Harry have been organising a 'secretly arranged party' to be thrown in her honour this weekend. On the eve of her 30th, Kate is said to be making her movie premiere debut with William at Odeon Leicester Square for Stephen Spielberg's film War Horse. She and William are to attend a £10,000 a ticket charity dinner afterwards. After that, Kate and William will be free to party. Grazia's royal source said: 'In many ways, this is going to be Kate's last chance to let go like she did back in the old days when she and William first met. 'The party has been months in the planning. Pippa and Harry have been in the thick of it, and have recruited a bunch of friends to help. 'The guests have been sent "save the date" cards, and told that it will probably be in London. 'Given the people organising it, you can be sure it will be brilliant.' Grazia goes on to say that the party, which will have an 80s theme to mark the decade in which Kate was born - will be an intimate affair for 'close friends and family.' With David and Victoria now considered close pals of the two young royals, the guest list is likely to be stellar. Where the party is to be held is yet to be confirmed, though it is said to be a  secret 'pop-up' venue. The report suggests that cocktails will be organised by Charlie Gilkes and Duncan Sterling, friends of Kate and William who own Maggie's Bar and Bunga Bunga in Chelsea. Friends will no doubt be wondering what they could possibly buy the future Queen. Grazia's sources close to Kate have said she has asked guests to donate to charity in place of buying her gifts. For his part though, William is understood to be keen to mark the occasion with a thoughtful present, and has been looking to buy his new wife a watch. The young prince is also said to be commissioning an oil portrait of the Kate to celebrate her 30th birthday and her first year as a member of the royal family. Big bash: Kate's fun-loving sister Pippa and well-connected brother-in-law Prince Harry are said to have organised a secret Eighties-themed karaoke party for close friends and family . The Queen is said to be giving Kate a tiara from the royal collection. Grazia's royal source says the party will be a good way for Kate to let off steam ahead of what will be a tough year. Next month, William is to be posted to the Falklands for six weeks as part of his role as Royal Navy helicopter pilot. Privately, Kate is said to be 'dreading' his absence. 'It's going to be a party of clashes in every way, says the source. 'On the one hand there are all these exquisite royal trappings, and on the other, Pippa is planning to top off the party with a karaoke session. Kate needs to enjoy herself while she can, though, so she can be forgiven for belting out a few Duran Duran and Madonna numbers on her birthday. 'It's all going to get pretty serious soon afterwards. Kate's understandably nervous and is giong to miss William desperately.'

Google has made a bold statement against discrimination on its home page. The search giant's rainbow Olympic-themed logo, posted to mark the first day of the Sochi Winter Games, sends a powerful message of support for not only gay athletes competing in the games, but for the gay community at large and its supporters. The company often changes its logo to reflect current events or to mark significant anniversaries. The latest "Google doodle" features images of athletes involved in Winter Olympic events, against a backdrop colored like the rainbow flag, the adopted symbol of the movement for gay rights. Unlike the current iteration, Google doodles usually conform to the company logo's color scheme. Under the search bar, the company quotes the Olympic Charter, which promises all athletes the right to practice sport. "The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play," the Charter excerpt reads. The quoted paragraph is the fourth in the Charter's "fundamental principles of Olympism" (pdf). The colored logo is a direct rebuke to Russian president Vladimir Putin's government, whose recently-introduced anti-gay legislation, the so-called anti-gay propaganda law, has been a focal point of critics of these Games. Opponents argue that the laws that Putin's government enacted last year are in contravention to the spirit of the Games. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak, recently warned both spectators and athletes against promoting gay rights during the Olympics. Last month Anatoly Pakhomov, the Mayor of Sochi, drew ridicule by suggesting that the city was devoid of gay people. Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, used his speech to the International Olympic Committee on Thursday to offer support to the LGBT community, saying that "many professional athletes, gay and straight, are speaking out against prejudice."

You are a helpful assistant named xDAN-Agent,excellent in reading and summary. Heres the context you need to read and summary.Google has made a bold statement against discrimination on its home page. The search giant's rainbow Olympic-themed logo, posted to mark the first day of the Sochi Winter Games, sends a powerful message of support for not only gay athletes competing in the games, but for the gay community at large and its supporters. The company often changes its logo to reflect current events or to mark significant anniversaries. The latest "Google doodle" features images of athletes involved in Winter Olympic events, against a backdrop colored like the rainbow flag, the adopted symbol of the movement for gay rights. Unlike the current iteration, Google doodles usually conform to the company logo's color scheme. Under the search bar, the company quotes the Olympic Charter, which promises all athletes the right to practice sport. "The practice of sport is a human right. Every individual must have the possibility of practicing sport, without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play," the Charter excerpt reads. The quoted paragraph is the fourth in the Charter's "fundamental principles of Olympism" (pdf). The colored logo is a direct rebuke to Russian president Vladimir Putin's government, whose recently-introduced anti-gay legislation, the so-called anti-gay propaganda law, has been a focal point of critics of these Games. Opponents argue that the laws that Putin's government enacted last year are in contravention to the spirit of the Games. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak, recently warned both spectators and athletes against promoting gay rights during the Olympics. Last month Anatoly Pakhomov, the Mayor of Sochi, drew ridicule by suggesting that the city was devoid of gay people. Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, used his speech to the International Olympic Committee on Thursday to offer support to the LGBT community, saying that "many professional athletes, gay and straight, are speaking out against prejudice." Google's undisputed position as the world's most-used search engine means that this is a rebuke that may be seen by billions. The Sochi Winter Olympics officially open today and will run until the 23rd of February.

By . Snejana Farberov . and Reuters Reporter . A white suburban Detroit homeowner who shot dead a black 19-year-old girl on his front porch admitted to purposefully opening fire on her out of fear, but insisted that he was not aiming at her. Theodore Wafer, 55, is accused of shooting Renisha McBride in the face through a screen door in Dearborn Heights when she came looking for help after an early morning accident last November. Taking the stand in his racially charged second-degree murder trial, Wafer said he ‘shot in fear’ when he saw a figure coming to his door. When asked by a prosecutor if he had shot 'on purpose,' he said, ‘Yes,’ but added he did not take aim. Courtroom confession: Theodor Wafer, pictured on the stand Monday, testified Tuesday that he fired his gun at Renisha McBride, 19, on purpose because he was afraid . Shooter's claim: Wafer told the court he was not aiming at the drunken teenager, pictured on a program printed November 2013 for her funeral . He also testified under cross-examination that he regretted not finding his phone and calling police before using his firearm – shotgun he purchased in 2008 to protect his property amid rising crime rates. Wafer wept during his testimony Monday, saying he regretted killing the unarmed McBride but that the violent knocking on his front and side doors made him think someone was trying to break into his house. The airport maintenance worker faces up to life in prison, if convicted. Mr Wafer has testified that he couldn't find his cell phone to call 911, and went to the door with his shotgun. He had told police the shooting was an accident, and testified that he pulled the trigger as a ‘reflex reaction.’ Prosecutors have called Wafer's actions unjustified and unreasonable. ‘Shoot first and ask questions later, right?’ Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Athina Siringas asked Wafer. Wafer responded, ‘It was a threat that was coming into my house.’ Grim image: Retired state Trooper David Balash holds a photo of Renisha McBride's leg on Wafer's porch during the seventh day of testimony Monday . During aggressive cross examination, Siringas questioned Wafer’s assertion that he was scared for his life – something he had failed to mention to police until they asked him about it. ‘I had a lot of emotions, fear, panicking,’ Wafer said. ‘I guess in front of a cop I didn't want to come across as less of a man.’ Siringas later asked Wafer if his first reaction to seeing a young African-American female was to shoot but his defense attorney objected before he could respond. The killing of McBride has sparked protests in Dearborn Heights and comparisons to the 2012 Florida shooting death of Trayvon Martin, a black teenager who was also unarmed. Gerald Thurswell, the McBride family lawyer, said before court Tuesday he believed Wafer was trying to sway opinion on the mostly white jury by talking about how ‘renters’ had been replacing owners in his historically white neighborhood. Private property: Wafer tearfully told the jury Monday that the violent knocking on his front and side doors made him think someone was trying to break into his Dearborn Heights home . Thurswell told reporters that he believed ‘renters’ was a code word for racial minorities. McBride had been in a car accident after drinking and smoking pot when she came to Wafer's door, according to previous testimony. Wafer was the last trial witness, and closing arguments are scheduled for Wednesday.

The wedding party, including Reverend Scoones prepare to walk down the aisle shortly before the incident . The panicked couple were horrified when the vicar fell and initially thought he had suffered a heart attack . 'He completely faceplanted and just lay there for about 30 seconds, everyone thought he had had a heart attack. 'I was wondering why no one else was laughing - I couldn't help myself. 'I pulled him to his feet - but by his arm which can't have helped - and he just carried on as if nothing had happened. He is a real trooper, he did a brilliant job.' Reverend Scoones tripped and fell over the train of Mrs Stoddard's full gown, breaking his arm in the process . Mrs Stoddard said 'It could have been worse' - her dress could have been pulled down at the same time .

'It could have been worse though - my dress was strapless and he could have fallen and pulled it down in front of all of our guests.

'Most of the congregation didn't see what happened, but those around me were shocked to see me flying through the air. 'The bride and groom were quite upset by it all, but they were looking forward to their reception. 'The groom and best man very gallantly helped me up, and I waved to the organ player and sent them on their way down the aisle as husband and wife.

(CNN) -- Passions run high at the coalface of an Ashes series and the heat clearly affects those at the pinnacle of Australian politics too. As his nation battles to win the third Test against England, and keep the five-match series alive, Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has left the game's officials in no doubt as to his disgust. With the match only a few hours old, Aussie batsman Usman Khawaja was given out caught behind by umpire Tony Hill, a call he instantly reviewed. And though countless replays offered no evidence Khawaja had hit the ball, the video umpire upheld the on-field decision, condemning the 26-year-old to a long trudge back to the pavilion. Rudd, who ousted Julia Gillard in a leadership election to become Prime Minister for a second time in June, was so incensed he took to Twitter to voice his displeasure to over 1.3 million followers. Using modern technology to bemoan cricket's new-age technology he wrote: "I've just sat down to watch the test. That was one of the worst cricket umpiring decisions I have ever seen." At the close of play on the first day, captain Michael Clarke's unbeaten century leading his side to a commanding position at 303-3, Rudd's message had been retweeted 2,759 times. His viewpoint was supported by one of Australia's greatest ever cricketers, Shane Warne, who took 708 Test wickets with his leg spin bowling during a glittering career. In his role as a television commentator he labeled the decision "ridiculous" and was one of the thousands that retweeted Rudd's remarks. "There was daylight between bat and ball, there was no hot spot and no noise," Warne said. "The only noise was when the bat hit his pad. "You can see the bat hitting the pad, the ball goes past, no noise. There was clear evidence there as well. That is a ridiculous decision." Umpiring decisions have caused much controversy in the previous two Tests matches, both won by England, who is looking to retain the Ashes for the third straight series. Under the Decision Review System (DRS) both sides get two reviews per innings, meaning they can refer a decision to a video umpire if they think it is wrong. The numerous camera angles available, as well as sound and hotspot technology -- which can detect even the faintest touch of ball on bat -- are designed to eliminate bad calls. The game's governing body -- the International Cricket Council (ICC) -- was forced to defend the umpiring during the first Test at Trent Bridge in Nottingham after a clutch of poor decisions, from the on-field umpires and their video counterpart. Rudd is the latest in a long line of Aussie Prime Ministers who have indulged their love of cricket. John Howard, who served between 1996 and 2007, was a regular visitor to Test matches involving his country at home and abroad. He also launched a bid to become a vice-president of the ICC but was blocked by the organization's board. Gillard was pictured at various cricketing events, while former premiers Bob Hawke and Paul Keating also tried to tap into their country's love of the game.

(CNN) -- How do the outer reaches of the sun get so hot? That's one of the questions that NASA has set out to answer by launching a new telescope that will stare into a mysterious zone between the sun's surface and outer atmosphere. Material that travels through the region, known as the solar chromosphere, heats up from about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,500 degrees Celsius) at the sun's surface to temperatures as high as 3.5 million degrees Fahrenheit (2 million degrees celsius) farther out, according to NASA. The agency says its IRIS spacecraft, which reached its orbit Thursday evening after taking off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, will angle its telescope to study "how solar material moves, gathers energy and heats up" in the chromosphere on its way to the outer atmosphere, the corona. "IRIS will show the solar chromosphere in more detail than has ever been observed before," Adrian Daw, deputy project scientist, said in a NASA article ahead of the launch. "My opinion is that we are bound to see something we didn't expect to see." What causes the corona's intense heat has been "a scientific mystery for more than 50 years," according to NASA's Solar System Exploration unit. Information gathered by previous space missions suggests one source could be a magnetic field covering the sun's surface, the unit says. Scientists are also interested in the chromosphere because it generates most of the sun's ultraviolet rays that affect Earth's climate. The data gathered by IRIS, which stands for Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph, will add to the work of two other missions that will monitor the sun's surface and outer atmosphere.
The IRIS spacecraft will point a telescope at a little-studied area of the sun . The chromosphere sits between the sun's surface and outer atmosphere . Scientists want to understand how material moves and heats up in the zone . Temperatures rise from thousands of degrees at the surface to millions farther out .

Rome (CNN) -- Amanda Knox again protested her innocence in the 2007 killing of British exchange student Meredith Kercher Tuesday, in a written statement to the Italian court hearing her retrial. In the statement, presented to the appeals court in Florence by Knox's lawyer, Luciano Ghirga, the American student insisted she had done nothing wrong. "I must repeat to you. I'm innocent. I did not rape, I did not steal ... I did not kill Meredith," Knox said. The retrial began in September without either Knox or her former boyfriend and fellow accused Raffaele Sollecito in court. Both have maintained their innocence. The presiding judge, Alessandro Nencini, read aloud Knox's statement Tuesday. In it, Knox said "there is no scientific proof that puts me in the crime scene" and that Kercher's killer had left enough traces behind for the court to be satisfied it was not her. "It is impossible to identify and destroy genetic traces and leave others. I was not there," she said. Knox said that her behavior after Kercher's murder was discovered, when she could have left the country but instead stayed to help the investigation, also demonstrated she was not involved in the killing. She complained of her treatment by police, saying she had been lied to, threatened and hit by them. Knox also told the court that she had endured psychological pressure during her first murder trial, in 2009, because she was called many things. "'I was called a wolf in sheep's clothing, a rapist, a thief, psychotic... Try to imagine your 20-year-old daughter being called all these things," she said. "I am not psychotic. I don't have a split personality." Knox's ex at retrial: Life has been a nightmare . Acquittal overturned . Sollecito and Knox were convicted in 2009 of killing Kercher, 21, who was found stabbed in November 2007 in the villa that she and Knox rented in the central Italian university town of Perugia. Their convictions were overturned in 2011 for "lack of evidence." But Italy's Supreme Court decided last year to retry the case, saying that the jury that acquitted them didn't consider all the evidence and that discrepancies in testimony needed to be answered. Prosecutor Alessandro Crini last month said both Knox and Sollecito should be convicted and handed a 26-year sentence for homicide, with an additional four years for Knox for slander. Knox's lawyer called Tuesday for her "acquittal verdict... to be confirmed." A lawyer for Kercher's family, Francesco Maresca, gave his closing remarks Monday. "No one remembers Meredith, while the two defendants write books, speak to the media and earn money," Maresca said. The defense for Sollecito may present its arguments next month. Knox returned to her hometown of Seattle after her acquittal and has been living there since. She says she is afraid to return to Italy, where she spent four years behind bars. Ivory Coast citizen Rudy Guede has been convicted and sentenced for his role in Kercher's murder. CNN's Hada Messia reported from Rome and Laura Smith-Spark wrote in London.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . A new report commissioned by the U.S. speedskating team has catalogued a series of mistakes that contributed to the team's worst performance in 30 years at this winter's Sochi Olympics. Among the errors were the late introduction of suits made by Under Armour as well as having the team train at high altitude and outdoors in Italy prior to the games, which took place indoors and at sea level. The findings show that the conditions in Italy masked a drop in form by the athletes. A new report cites late introduction of new uniforms and poorly planned altitude training as factors in the U.S. speedskating team's worst Olympic performance in decades . The report, detailed in a story by the Wall Street Journal, reflects a team becoming progressively more and more frustrated as athletes failed to excel. The Under Armour suits, given to the team only shortly before the race, should likely have been replaced with new Mach 39 suits as well as a skate polish introduced just before competition. 'The idea that we . would give these game-changers to our athletes right before the Olympics . and they would get to the line and feel like they had an advantage, . that did not work,' said Ted Mr. Morris, executive director of U.S. Speedskating. 'The lesson there is that if we . have game-changers like that, let's introduce them in December, not . February.' The review also noted that there was a failure to analyze performance data prior to the Sochi Olympics that would have easily predicted the team would not peak . Baltimore-based Under Armour declined requests to comment on the report. The company has renewed their partnership with the U.S. through the 2022 winter games. Other issues included a demanding traveling schedule and a lack of collecting and analyzing data that could have predicted the team would not peak in Sochi. 'When . you go back and look at those performance trends, our expectations going . into Sochi were not realistic,' Mr. Morris said. 'The idea that we were . going to go there and win eight, 10, 12 medals in long-track alone was . way off.' The team has since parted with director Finn Halvorsen, who was a major supporter of altitude training as well as guiding the team in the run up to the Olympics. The report is not unlike USA Track & Field's review of the U.S. men's and women's relay team performance in the 2008 summer games, which cited 'excessive travel and poor . long-term planning on the part of athletes, their coaches and agents" That report's recommendations helped the team score 29 medals in London in 2012. The speedskating organization was somewhat reticent to undergo such a review. 'There was a little bit of a . reaction of, 'you know, ‘I don't want to relive it. I want to put it my . rearview mirror.

(CNN) -- On a day when global doomsday predictions failed to pan out, NASA had more good news for the Earth: An asteroid feared to be on a collision course with our planet no longer poses a threat. Uncertainties about the orbit of the asteroid, known as 2011 AG5, previously allowed for a less than a 1% chance it would hit the Earth in February 2040, NASA said. To narrow down the asteroid's future course, NASA put out a call for more observation. Astronomers from the University of Hawaii at Manoa took up the task and managed to observe the asteroid over several days in October. "An analysis of the new data conducted by NASA's Near-Earth Object Program Office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, shows that the risk of collision in 2040 has been eliminated," NASA declared Friday. The new observations, made with the Gemini 8-meter telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, reduce the orbit uncertainties by more than a factor of 60. That means the Earth's position in February 2040 is not in range of the asteroid's possible future paths. The asteroid, which is 140 meters (460 feet) in diameter, will get no closer to Earth than 890,000 kilometers (553,000 miles), or more than twice the distance to the moon, NASA said. A collision with Earth would have released about 100 megatons of energy, several thousand times more powerful than the atomic bombs that ended World War II, according to the Gemini Observatory. Observing the asteroid wasn't easy, said David Tholen, an astronomer at the University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy. The asteroid's position was very close to the sun, so astronomers had to observe it when the sky was dark. Tholen told CNN there was about a half-hour between when the asteroid got high enough in the sky for the telescope to point at it and before the sky became too light to observe it. Because the astronomers were looking at the asteroid low in the sky, they were viewing it through a lot of atmosphere, which scattered some of the light and made the object fainter, he said. "The second effect is the turbulence of the atmosphere makes things fainter," Tholen said. "We had to keep trying over and over until we got one of those nights when the atmosphere was calm." Tholen and the team also discovered the asteroid is elongated, so that as it rotates, its brightness changes. That was another challenge for the astronomers: Because they didn't know the asteroid's rotation period, they didn't know when it would wax and wane, and when it would grow too faint to see. "This object was changing its brightness by a factor of three or four -- it was just enormously variable," Tholen said. "It was hit and miss depending on which night you observed it." Many predicted the end of the world would come Friday, the day on which a long phase in the ancient Mayan calendar came to an end. Some believe the day actually comes Sunday. Modern-day Mayans say the end of the calendar phase doesn't mean the end of the world -- just the end of an era, and the start of a new one. NASA estimates 4,700 'potentially hazardous' asteroids .

(CNN) -- As the protests in Cairo enter a second week, CNN takes a look at some of the key questions surrounding them. What are the protests about? The protesters are calling for democratization -- for a government that they feel represents them. They want President Hosni Mubarak, 82, to step down after 30 years holding onto power, and an end to what they complain is a corrupt regime. Some have called for the government to face a trial. The anger is driven largely by economic frustrations. Egypt has seen a dramatic rise in the cost of living in recent years. While the government has offered food subsidies to help people handle rising prices, many are struggling. Egypt's economy was stagnant for decades, but in the past 10 years started to grow, creating bigger differences between rich and poor, said Juan Cole, a Middle East historian at the University of Michigan. "And I think some of the protest is over the ways in which the labor movements have gotten left behind and haven't shared in the economic growth," he said. Why now? What sparked the protests? A wave of protests in nearby Tunisia which overthrew the government helped inspire people in other nearby countries, facing similar frustrations, that it was time for an uprising. But the spark, in many ways, was one young man. Mohamed Bouazizi, a 26-year-old college graduate in Tunisia, was unable to find work, so he set up a fruit cart. Police confiscated it, saying he had no permit. According to the Federation of Human Rights Leagues, police also beat him. Bouazizi set himself on fire in protest, and later died. His self-immolation triggered the huge protests in Tunisia, which in turn helped inspire people in other nearby countries, including Algeria and Yemen, to take to the streets as well. There have also been protests in Jordan and Sudan. A Facebook page calls for similar demonstrations in Syria. A popular Facebook page that helped organize the Cairo protests beginning January 25 was dedicated to Bouazizi. Who are the protesters? Many are young men. The majority of Egypt's population is under 30, and the vast majority of its unemployed are as well. While the protesters include people from different socio-economic levels and different parts of the country, there is a "high proportion of the educated middle class," said Cole. There's "a feeling amongst that middle class that they're not being given the opportunities in life that their degrees warrant -- what historians would call a 'blocked elite,'" Cole said. Have the protests been violent? The protesters have generally been peaceful, chanting slogans and holding signs. Last week, police clashed violently with some demonstrators, leaving some dead and others wounded. Once the government sent in the military to take the place of police, the clashes came to a halt. The two sides have generally gotten along well. Some protesters have even posed for pictures with members of the military on their tanks. At times, the protests have even taken on the feeling of a music festival, with people wandering around, chatting, and celebrating. "This is the start of the rest of my life," one jubilant young man who appeared to be in his 20s told CNN. "As cheesy as it sounds, that's exactly how I feel right now." How did chaos begin in some areas? Police disappeared from the streets in parts of Cairo and some other areas, and some police stations were ransacked. Over the weekend, looters attacked stores and homes and torched some cars, and some prisoners escaped. Men gathered in neighborhoods to create vigilante groups protecting their property. In some places, people handed out knives, sticks, clubs, and baseball bats to men and teenage boys, encouraging them to fight any looters who came along. Some Egyptians said they worry the chaos could be part of Mubarak's strategy, getting citizens angry at the protesters for creating havoc and excited for government security forces to come along and bring order. But the crime has also built more frustration against the government among many Egyptians. How many have died? While it's difficult to ascertain a solid death toll, Human Rights Watch staffers have confirmed more than 120 deaths in Cairo, Alexandria, and Suez, according to a researcher for the group in Cairo. How is the food supply? Many families are fast running out of staples, and they are either unable or unwilling to shop for groceries. "I have three children, and I only have enough to feed them for maybe two more days. After that I do not know what we will do," school administrator Gamalat Gadalla said. Grocers have closed up shop or are running out of supplies themselves. "With the curfew, there are no restaurants, food or gas. Basic goods will soon be in shortage," Sandmonkey, an Egyptian blogger said via Twitter. Egyptian state-run Nile TV has set up a hotline for citizens to call in and report bread shortages. There has been no other indication of what the Egyptian government is doing to address the crisis. CNN's Ben Wedeman, Nic Robertson, Ivan Watson, Frederik Pleitgen, and Salma Abdelaziz contributed to this report.

"I have three children, and I only have enough to feed them for maybe two more days. After that I do not know what we will do," school administrator Gamalat Gadalla said. Grocers have closed up shop or are running out of supplies themselves. "With the curfew, there are no restaurants, food or gas. Basic goods will soon be in shortage," Sandmonkey, an Egyptian blogger said via Twitter. Egyptian state-run Nile TV has set up a hotline for citizens to call in and report bread shortages. There has been no other indication of what the Egyptian government is doing to address the crisis. CNN's Ben Wedeman, Nic Robertson, Ivan Watson, Frederik Pleitgen, and Salma Abdelaziz contributed to this report.

By . Matt Chorley, Mailonline Political Editor . PUBLISHED: . 03:14 EST, 20 September 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 03:27 EST, 20 September 2013 . Victorian-style handwritten exams will be consigned to history within a decade, a leading schools chief predicts. Pen and paper tests will be scrapped and replaced with online questions which get gradually harder if students are not being challenged. David Hanson, chief executive of the Independent Association of Prep Schools, will use a speech next week to predict that by 2023 online testing will be the norm. History: Traditional pen and paper exams could disappear within a decade, according to private schools chief David Hanson . If exams are carried out using computers, it is likely that lessons in classrooms will also rely much less on pen, paper and textbooks. Some schools have already faced criticism for demanding parents buy expensive tablets for use in lessons. There are also concerns that pupils will not develop handwriting skills and become too reliant on technology, including spell checkers. But Mr Hanson will argue that the system of students completing paper-based exams which are then sent for marking during the summer is inefficient, expensive and out-dated. He will tell a conference of the IAPS next week: ‘By looking at the past and by tracking forward current trends, I predict that in 10 years’ time (2023) maths, English and science will still be core subjects but technology will have been completely embraced and will be used extensively by a generation of teachers who grew up with it. ‘Assessment will be by on-line adaptive tests.’ Future: With tests completed using computers, pupils will become more reliant on technology in lessons . In the adaptive tests computers analyse the answers children give and if they are finding some too easy will start presenting tougher questions to give them chance to achieve higher grades. It is argued the move to embrace technology will also prevent a repeat of the marking rows in which papers have to be re-graded. Ahead of the conference, Mr Hanson said: ‘We’re being forced to live with a system that we’ve had for more than a century, with children being sat down on a hot summer’s day and writing on an exam paper which is then dispatched to someone who spends their summer holiday marking it. ‘That’s not necessary. It’s expensive and it’s subject to all sorts of variables, not least human failure. That whole system is just out of step with technology and I think it’ll be consigned to history soon,’ he told the Telegraph. ‘Fundamentally, we all want an assessment and examinations system that we can believe in and it is clear confidence is being lost in the current system,’ he said. ‘It is no longer fit for purpose; it’s hugely expensive and results are unreliable because it’s too dependent on individuals sitting down and marking.’

(CNN) -- Say what you will about Facebook, but the social network is not too proud to copy. Facebook is reportedly considering co-opting the hashtags that first emerged on Twitter, following its previous aping of the Twitter model of following strangers and sharing content publicly. Facebook is testing the idea of supporting the use of hashtags in posts to the social network, according to reports in The Wall Street Journal and other publications. Facebook has declined to comment on the reports. Hashtags, unique and often cryptic terms preceded by a hash mark ("#"), are specially tracked and aggregated on Twitter as they would presumably be on Facebook. Twitter shows which tags are trending, and clicking on a hashtag brings up other posts with the same tag. Facebook is surely interested in the additional vector they provide for advertisers. On Twitter, advertisers can pay to promote their own hashtags alongside Twitter's list of most common hashtags. The aggregation pages showing posts associated with a hashtag is another natural point for advertising. On Facebook, advertisers could hypothetically "promote" user posts that contain particular hashtags just as they now promote "likes" of their business pages. Such promoted posts could get more prominent and longer-lasting placement on Facebook's News Feed, where non-promoted items are sorted by relevance. Facebook's apparent tinkering with hashtags is being framed in the tech press, all too predictably, as part of a war with Twitter. But the only battle that matters to Facebook in the end is the one for the attention of its own users for the dollars of its own advertisers. Hashtags will be a way to grow both.

When Glynis Barnett shows friends her new yellow diamond nestling in its jewellery box, they never fail to be impressed. ‘People always say how sparkly it is and compliment me on the fabulous colour,’ says Glynis, 63, a retired PA from Kent. ‘They’re so surprised when I tell them the diamond used to be my husband John. ‘I paid £5,000 to have a laboratory turn his ashes into the gem as a way to keep him close to me after he died.’ Scroll down for video . Glynis Barnett, 63, a retired PA from Kent, shows off the yellow diamond made from the ashes of her late husband John . It may sound like something from a sci-fi film, but these so-called ‘cremorials’ — tributes made from cremated ashes — are becoming ever more common. For £3,000, you can have your ashes pressed into vinyl records, or mixed with paint and painted into a favourite scene. Ashes can also be shot into space, floated out to sea in a model ship or even encased in concrete and turned into part of a man-made reef off the Dorset coast — a scheme created by Dorset Council for families to encase their loved ones’ ashes in concrete ‘bereavement balls’ and added to the reef, providing a home for marine wildlife. When John died in 2011, aged 64, following a long battle with throat and liver cancer, Glynis spent months wondering what to do with his ashes. ‘Although we had been married for 42 years, we never discussed in detail what we wanted if either of us should die,’ she says. ‘His ashes sat by the side of my bed for 18 months, while I struggled with my grief. Glynis with husband John. Despite beiing married for 42 years she says they never discussed in detail what they would do if one of them died. ‘I eventually decided to scatter them under the willow tree in our garden, but then I remembered a friend of mine who’d told me she planned to have her husband’s ashes turned into a diamond if anything happened to him. ‘I liked the idea I could take a little piece of John with me wherever I went. After months of research, I contacted Phoenix Memorial Diamonds in Manchester and ordered a .75 carat canary yellow gem. All I needed to do was send off 100g of John’s ashes by recorded post, and pay a deposit of £2,500.’ Turning ashes into a diamond is fairly straightforward, as both are comprised of the same substance: the element carbon (the human body is 18 per cent carbon, and the rest is mostly water). Natural diamonds are formed underground when carbon is put exposed to huge amounts of heat and pressure. Laboratory-grown diamonds are made by creating the same forces artificially. Glynis says her friends always admire the £5,000 yellow diamond she had made out of John's ashes . First, the ashes are heated to 1,300c until they become molten, then they are compressed at 10,000 tons per square inch for several weeks until they form a diamond crystal, which is chemically indistinguishable from a natural stone. Because the chemical make-up of each person’s ashes is unique, so is the size, clarity and precise colour of the stone that emerges. However, the natural colour of diamonds made from human ash is broadly canary yellow due to the nitrogen content in the ashes. These yellow laboratory diamonds sell for about £6,500 per carat — around 40 per cent less than the equivalent natural diamond, which costs more because it takes thousands of years to form, is scarce and has to be mined. Once the diamond crystal has been formed, it is cut and polished in the same way as a natural diamond would be. Glynis waited 12 weeks for her diamond to be delivered. ‘My youngest son Robert, 29, who works in finance, was incredibly suspicious of the whole process and insisted on being there when the diamond was delivered,’ she says. ‘He drove the courier to our local jeweller to have the gem tested before he’d let me pay the balance.’ Glynis is now hoping to get her diamond set into a ring, and plans to leave it to her daughter Lucie, 31, in her will. ‘John would have laughed at my extravagance, as I am pretty frugal by nature, but I feel it’s an important, lasting and very personal tribute to my beloved husband.’ Cremation expert Richard Martin says that memorialising a loved one — whether that means having some of their ashes made into a paperweight or even decanted into cartridges and fired from a shotgun — can be incredibly cathartic. ‘All that matters is that you feel you have chosen a fitting resolution for that person, your family and friends,’ he says. Sue White in her garden with the £645 sculpture that contains her late husband Bruce's ashes . Not all ‘cremorials’ are as subtle as Glynis’s diamond. When visitors step into Sue White’s manicured garden, the first thing they comment on is the striking modern sculpture, in the shape of a closed flower bud, rising from her rockery. ‘Of course, they’re a little taken aback when I tell them: “That’s Bruce — my late husband”,’ says Sue, 60, a company director from Ascot, Berkshire. Bruce, who ran a successful record label, was 68 when he died peacefully at home in November 2011 from lung cancer with Sue, son Julian, now 44, and daughter Natalie, 40, by his side. Once his funeral was over, Sue was at a loss as to what to do with his remains. ‘It was just too difficult to talk about once he became ill,’ says Sue. ‘The ashes were handed over to us a few days afterwards in an ugly plastic jar. I found it so painful to look at, I hid it in the garage for more than a year.’ A year on, Sue and Natalie decided to scatter some of the ashes in the garden of the family’s holiday home in Spain. ‘We thought about scattering the rest around our garden in England, but I quickly realised that if I ever moved house, it would mean leaving Bruce behind for good,’ says Sue. ‘After searching online, we decided on a memorial ornament instead — something that would be a tangible reminder of Bruce but portable, too. We bought it online from a specialist company called Scattering Ashes for £645 and had a small plaque made for it with Bruce’s name on. ‘It has an internal sphere that Natalie and I carefully opened and decanted the ashes into at the kitchen table. ‘I thought I would find that hard to do, but it was actually very cathartic. Now, every time I pop out to snip a few herbs for my cooking, I see the sculpture and feel connected to Bruce. ‘I sometimes wonder if he would be happy with what I’ve done — but I love the sculpture, and I’m sure he would be glad about that.’ Heidi Lewis, 42, with mum Pat whose last wish was that her family would have a party celebrating her life and send her ashes up in fireworks . Increasingly, people are leaving instructions in their wills about how they would like their ashes used. Heidi Lewis’s mother, Patricia Mitchell, 73, a retired market researcher, was very clear about what she wanted before she passed away from long-standing health problems on April 25. ‘Mum told me in no uncertain terms that she did not want a religious funeral, nor should anyone attend the crematorium,’ says Heidi, a 42-year-old student nurse and mother to Henry, 19, Stanley, 12, and Arney, nine, from Woking in Surrey. Heidi says she couldn't think of a better send off for her late mother . ‘Instead, she left £6,000 from a funeral savings plan for us to throw a big party to celebrate her life. ‘She said she wanted to have her ashes sent up in a firework display over Eel Pie Island, in the middle of the Thames at Twickenham. It’s the site of a famous jazz club that she used to love going to in the Sixties. ‘My sisters Lyndsay, Madeleine and I desperately wanted to hold the wake on her birthday, May 9,’ says Heidi. ‘It was all a bit of a rush, but we managed to courier some of Mum’s ashes to Heavenly Stars fireworks in Colchester, Essex. ‘They transferred around an egg cup-full into a large firework — a complete display in one package — at a cost of £249. ‘We organised a big group of family and friends to meet in a local pub, and then walk, accompanied by a New Orleans-style jazz band, to the Twickenham rowing club. ‘There were eulogies and poetry readings then, as it started to get dark, my eldest son lit the fuse on the firework display. ‘There were two minutes of spectacular flashes, bangs and colours as the fireworks scattered Mum’s ashes over the island she loved. ‘As the fireworks came to an end everyone cheered, clapped, whistled and yes, shed a few tears. ‘What better send-off could anyone ask for?’

Washington (CNN) -- The Federal Aviation Administration suspended Saturday yet another air traffic controller for sleeping on the job, the seventh apparent incident this year the agency has disclosed. The incident occurred at the Miami Air Route Traffic Control Center during the midnight shift early Saturday morning, two days before the FAA is expected to conduct meetings on air traffic control safety and professionalism, the FAA reported. According to a preliminary review of air traffic tapes, the controller did not miss any calls from aircraft and there was no operational impact, the agency said in a statement. The incident was reported to a manager by another controller, the FAA said. There were 12 controllers and two managers on duty. Last week, Hank Krakowski resigned as the head of the FAA Air Traffic Organization amid revelations that several controllers fell asleep on the job this year. All the incidents occurred during the midnight shifts, but the similarity ends there. Some occurred at local control towers, one occurred at a regional radar facility and the latest at a high-altitude center. In at least one incident, the FAA has said the controller deliberately went to sleep, while some of the others appear to have been accidental. Prior to the start of the midnight shift at the Miami facility, all the controllers were given a briefing on professionalism and the importance of reporting to work fit for duty, the FAA said. The controller who fell asleep has been suspended, the agency said. Other incidents of sleeping controllers have been reported in Washington, D.C.; Knoxville, Tennessee; Seattle, and Reno, Nevada. There have been two suspected cases in Lubbock, Texas. FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt disclosed the latest incident in a statement saying he is prohibiting scheduling practices that may be contributing to fatigue. The changes will be effective within 72 hours, Babbitt said. Paul Rinaldi, head of the controller's union, said Saturday his union and the FAA agree that fatigue and scheduling must be addressed. "This latest incident earlier today is of great concern, as it is never acceptable when we don't provide the level of service expected and required of us on every shift. We take our responsibilities very seriously and believe fatigue is a significant factor in these instances," he said. Babbitt and Rinaldi on Monday will begin a cross-country tour of air traffic control facilities. Their first stop will be at an Atlanta-area regional radar facility. "We are taking swift action to ensure the safety of our aviation system," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement Saturday. "There is no excuse for air traffic controllers to be sleeping on the job. We will do everything we can to put an end to this." On Thursday, Krakowski, resigned amid the furor caused by the controversy. David Grizzle, the FAA's chief counsel, was named acting chief of the unit during a search to fill Krakowski's post. Saturday morning, Grizzle briefed LaHood and Babbitt about the latest incident. "We are taking important steps today that will make a real difference in fighting air traffic controller fatigue," Babbitt said. "But we know we will need to do more. This is just the beginning."
The head of the controller's union says fatigue and scheduling must be addressed . It is the seventh apparent incident of sleeping at work this year disclosed by the FAA . There was no operational impact, the FAA says .

"We are taking important steps today that will make a real difference in fighting air traffic controller fatigue," Babbitt said. "But we know we will need to do more. This is just the beginning."

(CNN) -- It was April 1975 when I was packed into a military transport plane with two of my siblings as the Vietnam War ended. We left Vietnam to escape communist rule and eventually, take on an additional identity. I was 8 years old, and being separated from both parents for the first time in my life was confusing and scary. My mother decided to stay behind with my five remaining siblings to wait for my father to return. An officer in the South Vietnam Army fighting alongside the Americans during the Vietnam War, my father spent the next seven years in the communist prisons, which were euphemistically called "re-education camps." It was many years later when our family was reunited. The challenges I faced growing up were probably not that different from the struggles all other immigrants face when they first arrive in the United States. I suppose most immigrants, regardless of origin, would have to deal with obstacles such as the language barrier and unfamiliar customs. I vividly remember small things like missing rice as the staple in my diet and bigger challenges, including loneliness and the sense of being displaced. I never imagined that one day I would think nothing of ordering gumbo or eating burritos, much less have a career in politics as the U.S. congressman representing the 2nd District of Louisiana. Like most immigrants, my siblings and I learned to assimilate into this big melting pot called the United States of America. We worked hard on our studies and in our businesses. Along with other Vietnamese immigrants and refugees of the time, stories of successes and heartbreaks quickly spread around the community. Although the academic achievements of Vietnamese students in schools were touted in the media, we also agonized over the horrific news about the plights of the Vietnamese boat people. Facing persecution and hardship in the old country, Vietnamese refugees braved the perilous seas aboard small fishing boats to seek freedom. Many lost their lives to piracy, storm and starvation. The lucky ones who were able to land somewhere would face cold rejections by a world grown tired of having to deal with refugee problems. The boat people saga continued well into the 1990s. I volunteered with Boat People SOS, a national organization that advocates for the refugees. My experience with them shaped my path in the years to come. After graduating from Baylor University with a bachelor's degree in physics, I joined the Jesuits for the priesthood. After working with some of the poorest communities in Third World countries, I decided that politics would bring about quicker changes for the less fortunate among us. I studied to be a lawyer, and while working as an immigration lawyer in New Orleans, Louisiana, Hurricane Katrina changed my life. The storm destroyed my home and office. Like many in my Vietnamese-American community in New Orleans, I came back to pick up the pieces after the storm. Facing one obstacle after another, we fought as a community to rebuild our homes and lives. During our efforts to close a landfill the city and state had opened right next to our community, Rep. Mike Honda came to hear our complaint and did not find anyone from within the community in public office to advocate for ourselves. He asked: "Who among you wants to run?" I raised my hand and began a new course as a public servant. It has been 35 years since the first wave of Vietnamese refugees landed on American soil. Now things like Pho and spring rolls have joined the Americana mainstream. I no longer see myself as a displaced stranger; I am a Vietnamese-American.

Millions of families face a double-digit increase in the cost of gas  and electricity after EDF became  the latest energy supplier to announce a price hike. The firm – which has 5.5million  customers and is the country’s biggest electricity supplier – is raising tariffs by an average 10.8 per cent. It means the annual bill for a dual fuel customer who pays via monthly direct debit will be £1,252 – an increase of £123. Heating up: EDF Energy is pushing up gas and electricity bills for customers by nearly 11 per cent from December 7. It is the fifth of the 'big six' energy firms to impose a price rise this winter. EDF . is the fifth of the ‘big six’ energy firms to raise tariffs in the last . few weeks. The sixth, E.ON, is expected to follow suit in January. The companies have blamed Government policies for the rise in prices, . including requirements to pay for a switch to green and nuclear energy, . and funding the insulation of cold homes. Earlier this month, David Cameron told suppliers he intends to bring  in . legislation forcing them to offer customers the cheapest tariff. Currently, 75 per cent of households are on their supplier’s most . expensive scheme, with 60 per cent admitting to having never switched . firms in the past 15 years. Downing Street yesterday confirmed the law will be changed to force firms to charge a fair price. Audrey Gallacher, energy expert at customer group Consumer Focus, said: . ‘Another price rise, hot on  the heels of those we’ve already seen, will . again feed into consumer concerns on pack behaviour and whether price . changes are driven by real supply and demand issues.’ EDF's 10.8 per cent hike, . which will affect three million customers from December 7, is due to rising cost of distribution, efficiency, . buying energy and wholesale prices. EDF director Martin Lawrence said: 'We know that customers will not welcome this news and do not want to see prices going up. 'Our . new prices will however be cheaper on average than those of all the . other major suppliers which have announced standard price rises so far . this autumn.' Rising bills: EDF's price rise, announced ahead of winter, will add £120 per year to household bills, affecting 3 million customers . Mr Lawrence also . added that it is the first supplier to automatically switch vulnerable . customers, for example those receiving pension credits, to its cheapest tariff, . benefitting 85,000 customers. A nine per cent . rise from Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) started earlier this month, . while price increases from Scottish Power, British Gas and nPower will hit . customer bills before the end of the year. The EDF hike . is the biggest percentage rise, so far, this year – however, a spokesman said . that its average price is still cheapest average tariff, even after the increase. It brings an EDF . annual duel fuel direct debit bill to an average of £1,251, just £7 cheaper . than its nearest rival nPower which will charge customers £1,258 annually, after . its rise. Audrey Gallacher, from Consumer Focus, said: 'The latest energy price rise will leave even more customers worried about their energy bills. 'EDF Energy’s tariffs will still be slightly cheaper on average than other suppliers who have increased their prices – but this will be little comfort to those seeing a double-digit percentage rise on their bills.' The . news will come as a blow to millions of households who have little . escape from energy price rises this winter just as the cold weather . hits. Ann . Robinson, from uSwitch.com, said: 'This is the final hammer blow for . energy bills this side of Christmas. Consumers now face a winter of . rationing their energy usage - many will be forced to turned their . heating down or off for fear of the impact of these hikes.' How much? How EDF Energy compares in the average duel fuel bill price league after the hike . Mark Todd, from Energyhelpline.com, said: 'The . energy price rise domino effect is in full swing, and we expect E.ON to . make their announcement soon for price increases in the New Year.' EDF Energy . said that the rise is due to sharp increases in its costs since the start of the . year, with distribution charges going up by 9 per cent and energy efficiency . schemes increasing by more than 50 per cent. A spokesman . also said that the cost of buying energy had gone up by 4 per cent, a fee which . makes up around 50 per cent of the typical gas and electricity bill. Gary Hornby, an energy analyst at Inenco, said the current price rises were just the start, with further increases in bills expected next year. He said: 'Wholesale gas and power prices have risen by approximately 8 per cent since the lows seen in June, and investment in cleaner forms of generation is still costly and these increases were always going to be passed onto the consumer. 'These rises come at a time when household budgets are already stretched and, despite the positive GDP figures released yesterday, the UK economy continues to struggle. 'In addition, more gas will be needed as a fuel for power generation from 2013 onwards with older, more pollutant coal power stations coming offline due to emission regulations. 'As gas burn is much more expensive than coal burn currently, the recent spate of price rises could be in anticipation of higher wholesale prices in the future.'

By . Chris Spargo for MailOnline . The Seattle Seahawks may have defeated the Denver Broncos in this year's Super Bowl, but when it comes to football in America, it seems that it is the Dallas Cowboys that truly reign supreme. This according to the 2014 NFL American fandom map, just released by Facebook, which shows every American county’s favorite professional football team, as determined by the NFL team that Facebook users have ‘liked’ the most. And like all athletic events, this one has a big loser too, with the New York Jets failing to be the most popular team in any county in the country. Fans: A new map shows the most popular NFL team by county according to Facebook . Winners: The Dallas Cowboys are the most popular team in the country according to Facebook . Most of the map is no surprise at all though, with the New England Patriots locking up almost every county from Connecticut through Maine; the New Orleans Saints claiming the top spot throughout Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama; and the Broncos controlling a large portion of middle America. It is the Cowboys, however, who are by far the biggest team in the country, with large chunks of fans not only in Texas, but also Nevada, Virginia, Oregon, and Idaho. The San Francisco 49ers have a pretty strong reach too, as the most popular team in Hawaii, as well as northern California. No love: The New York Jets failed to claim a majority of fans in any county in the country . Second rate: More people in Pennsylvania are fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers rather than the Philadelphia Eagles . On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Philadelphia Eagles did not manage to get much love at all, with almost every county in their home state backing the Pittsburgh Steelers. But even the Eagles managed to lock up southeastern Pennsylvania and parts of New Jersey, whereas the Jets got trounced in New York by Giants fans. In fact, of the 32 professional teams in the NFL, they are the only one who did not manage to secure at least one county. Seems like that Giants-Jets rivalry may be a little bit more one-sided than some would like to admit.

Supporters somehow escaped major harm in frightening scenes as a rally car flipped during a race in Italy. Up to nine fans – who were sat watching the Jolly Rally Valle D'Aosta in North West Italy from a wall on a bend – dived for cover as the Renault Clio Super 1600 astonishingly flew towards them. Both the driver Pietro Scavone and his navigator Diego D’Herin came away from the crash unscathed. They were released from hospital after precautionary tests. The Renault Clio, driven by Pietro Sacvone, drove round the corner at high speed during the Jolly Rally Valle d'Aosta in northern Italy . The spectators realised there was a problem as the car misjudged the corner and mounted a grass verge, hurtling towards them at pace . The Renault Clio then hit a dip in the grass, catapulting on to its roof, with spectators having not had time to move back from the roadside . As the rally car lands on its roof, before flipping back over, it seems that there is no way the spectators will be able to avoid injury . The driver of the car, Pietro Sacvone, is helpless as his car flips upside down, and heads dangerously towards innocent bystanders . Miraculously, the car bounces back towards the road, missing the spectators by inches, and nobody is hurt in the crash . One spectator was said to have been taken to hospital with shock, while the race itself was stopped immediately on the same day as Formula One's Jules Bianchi was fighting for his life after the Japanese Grand Prix. ‘The pilot and co-pilot are well, we have heard a little while ago,’ said race organiser Maurizio Salice. Scavone appeared to take a corner too quickly on the first afternoon of a three-day event and lost control just 800ft from the end of the track in the Aosta Valley – one hour north of Turin. The vehicle was captured encroaching on a grass verge, a vantage point of choice for a number of fans. They had to take swift decisive action, but the fact that nobody on the wall was injured remains fortuitous in the extreme. One woman can be seen attempting to shield herself from the flying debris as the car tumbled back into the middle of the track. Thankfully, the car missed all spectators, and even the driver and his navigator were unharmed, despite how the car looked after the crash . The back of the Renault Clio, which was racing in the Jolly Rally Valle d'Aosta in northern Italy, completely caved in during the astonishing crash .
