Sharpton wrote on Facebook: 'Joining us this morning is Mayor Keith Summey, Sheriff Al Cannon, Senator Marlon Kimpson, SCLC Leader Michael Steele, North Charleston Police [Chief] Eddie Driggers, and Assistant Police Chief Reggie Burgess.' The officers and elected officials listened 'intently' to what Sharpton had to say as he gave credit to Mayor Summey for firing Michael Slager, the officer who killed Scott, according to the Post and Courier. During the sermon, Sharpton said: 'When he's wrong ... we protest. 'When he's right, we should have the same courage to say he's right. 'Let us use this hour to not only change what's going on in North Charleston. 'North Charleston, that's known as a place of intolerance, can be the place that could set a new tone in policing all over the United States. 'Maybe now between a southern white mayor and a forgiving black mother, maybe this nation will deal with this.' The civil rights leader is also expected to attend a vigil near the scene of the Scott shooting on Sunday afternoon. Sharpton denied Scott's family barred him from attending his funeral on Saturday because it would cause a 'circus' of media attention. Allegations that Scott's family wanted nothing to do with Sharpton were published by the New York Daily News. In response, Sharpton said: 'There has never been a discussion about me attending or participating in the funeral on Saturday, since everyone knows that [National Action Network's] convention with thousands of delegates is happening in New York and doesn't end until Saturday night.'

A man finally freed satisfied a well-earned fast food craving by eating his first hamburger after being wrongfully imprisoned for 36 years. Michael Hanline, 69, was convicted of murder for the fatal shooting of truck driver JT McGarry in 1980, and on Wednesday a judge dismissed the charges against him. In a video posted on April 20 by the California Innocence Project, which has been working to free Hanline since 1999, he is seen on the day he was released at the counter of a Carl's Jr asking for a hamburger 'they show on TV with the bacon on it'. As he dug into his meal of a large Mile High Bacon Cheeseburger with fries and a drink, it was a special moment for him. 'My oh my, that's what meat tastes like huh?' he said after taking his first bite. 'The commercial does it justice.' Scroll down for video . Michael Hanline, 69, who was wrongfully imprisoned for 36 years, was dismissed of charges on Wednesday. On the day of his release last November, the moment he ate his first burger after being in prison for decades was captured on video (above Hanline tucking away into a bacon cheeseurger at a Carl's Jr restaurant) On Wednesday, after a GPS monitor was cut off, Hanline finally put on the boots (above) he last wore 36 years ago when he went to prison for a crime he did not commit . Following more than three decades after Hanline was incarcerated, it emerged that crucial DNA analysis and investigative reports were withheld from his original trial. The new evidence proved that Hanline was innocent and the longest-serving wrongfully imprisoned inmate in California's history was finally released last November. And earlier this week, a judge dismissed him of the charges. 'The whole thing was surreal for him when we got him out. It’s impossible for any of us to imagine what it’s like to spend 36 years in prison and then come out,' Justin Brooks, director of California Innocence Project at California Western School of Law told Daily Mail Online. In the video showing his first moments of freedom, Hanline is seen on November 24, 2014 walking with Brooks as he takes his first steps after leaving prison. 'Today is the day we are finally getting the first of the California 12 out of prison,' Brooks says in the video. In the video posted on April 20 by California Innocence Project, Hanline is seen on the day of his release on November 24, 2014 as he walks out to a cheering crowd . Holding his wife Sandy's hand, the video shows him looking up into the sky and taking in a breath of fresh air as he leaves prison. While in the car he said: 'It's just an incredible rush. It doesn't seem I guess actually real yet' Hanline is then greeted by a cheering crowd as he walks next to Brooks, and holding his wife's hand, he walks out of the doors looking up at the sky. When asked what he is feeling in

A Colorado wastewater facility went up in flames on Friday after a fracking tanker was hit by lightning, setting off a series of explosions and oil fires. Dale Lyman, a spokesman for the Greeley Fire Department, says firefighters were called to the site northeast of Greeley airport shortly after 1 p.m. They are working with NGL Energy Partners, the company that owns the site, but had to wait for the explosion risk to subside so they could use fire suppression foam to extinguish the fire, Lyman told The Greeley Tribune. Nearby homes were evacuated, however no injuries were reported. The fire began when lightning struck a water storage tank, launching it into the air. It landed 60 feet from the site. The water contained traces of hydrocarbons and petroleum as a result of hydraulic fracturing, which ignited, Fox 31 reported. The tanker was near an injection well where fracking wastewater is pumped into the ground. Scroll down for video .

Not only does Gareth Bale definitely want to stay at Real Madrid beyond the end of this season but he is determined to win over some of the hardest to please supporters in football and become the best player in the world. Sportsmail can reveal that is the unswerving message from the world's most expensive player. And it is one that is not set to change regardless of how persistent the rumours of a possible switch to Manchester United become. Bale is injured and out of Wednesday's Euroderby II showdown with Atletico Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti has already gone on record as to just how important he believes the Welshman is to Real Madrid. Gareth Bale is adamant that he wants to stay at Real Madrid despite strong interest from Manchester United . Bale has scored 17 goals for Real this season but has still bee criticised by supporters . Bale holds off the challenge of Atletico forward Raul Garcia during Champions League quarter-final . He said last week: 'He had a fantastic season last year and he is having a very good season this time. He did very well for us in the finals that we played and we need him for this season's run-in too.' Real Madrid's £86million player is hoping to be back in time for the Champions League semi-finals should the holders qualify. His future continues to be the source of much speculation with Manchester United desperate to make a signing that would send shockwaves throughout world football and immediately install them as favourites to win the Premier League next season. Real Madrid have also privately declared their interest in making David de Gea the long-term successor to Iker Casillas, just as he is expected to be in the Spain side. Bale is out of Real's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Atletico on Wednesday . The Wales international injured his calf during Saturday's 3-1 win against Malaga after just two minutes . The possibility of a Bale-plus-cash move for De Gea this summer would certainly suit United and please those Real Madrid supporters who fail to see the value of Bale and those goals that won the club three trophies last year, but the player remains adamant that his future is in Madrid. In nearly all transfer wrangles the player gets what he wants over and above the desires of the clubs involved and it seems highly unlikely that he will be wearing anything other than a white shirt next season such is his desire to ride out the storm in Madrid. He had a sensational first season in Spain winning four trophies and scoring in the Copa del Rey, Champions League and World Club Cup finals. This season he has been the target of some post-decima criticism and even booed at times in his own stadium but he is determined to win over fans who have jeered some of the greatest players in history in their time. Bale enjoyed a standout first season in Madrid and won the Champions League and the Copa del Rey . The

Summary: Gareth Bale has been linked with a summer move to Manchester United . The Wales forward has been criticised by Real Madrid fans this season . United want Bale but he has no desire to cut short his time in Spain . A swap deal involving United keeper David de Gea has been mooted . Real are interested in bringing De Gea to Spain to replace Iker Casillas .

The month-old cubs, born March 11, were captured on video sitting before press and public at Leningrad Zoo in Saint Petersburg while photographs were taken of the pair. From the same litter, the two cubs – one black, the other spotty – are the fifth brood of mother and father Agnes and Rock. The cubs were month-old when they were unveiled to press and public on Wednesday . According to the zoo, the two young cats have both reached an ideal weight of 3kg and their teeth have already started to grow. The jaguars are featured in the video away from their parents, and their father will not be involved in the upbringing of the cubs. Jaguars are solitary animals and only see each other while mating, so zoo keepers intend on keeping Rock in a separate enclosure. The two cubs - one black and one spotty - are the fifth brood of mother and father Agnes and Rock . The two young cats have both reached an ideal weight of 3kg and their teeth have already started to grow . Svetlana Shelgunova, Head of the Department of Predatory Mammals at Leningrad Zoo, features in the video. She says: ‘Now they manifested their playful behaviour. Now you can see how jaguar cubs climb on the back of their mother. ‘They often play with their mother and with each other. They will begin to come out of their dens soon.’ The two jaguars are placed into a bucket full of hay to keep warm while one practises its roar . According to the zoo's Head of the Department of Predatory Mammals, the cubs often play with their mother and with each other . Captured in the clip is the two jaguars being placed into a bucket full of hay to keep warm – one can be seen practising its roar.

Lord Janner sent a ‘thank you’ Christmas card to a detective after learning he would escape child sex abuse charges, it emerged yesterday . Lord Janner sent a ‘thank you’ Christmas card to a detective after learning he would escape child sex abuse charges, it emerged yesterday. The officer said he was appalled by the Labour peer’s note after his superiors forced him to drop his inquiries into Janner’s alleged sex abuse. The note thanked him for how he had dealt with the issue, and even invited him and his wife to dinner at Parliament. The revelation of Janner’s apparent attempt to influence the police came amid fresh concerns about the Establishment cover-up of the Labour grandee’s alleged paedophilia. Detectives have carried out four child sex inquiries into Janner since 1991, but attempts to bring him to justice were repeatedly blocked. Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders announced earlier this month that he should been have charged on each occasion. But she went on to rule that the 86-year-old peer should not face prosecution because of his dementia. The decision has caused outrage – with critics pointing out that he signed letters in the House of Lords as recently as this month, and had held numerous dinners and events in Parliament since being diagnosed in 2009. It has also been revealed that Mrs Saunders was a pupil at the same legal chambers as Janner – although she claims she never met him. The furore over her decision grew yesterday as it emerged that: . The policeman who led the original investigation into Janner in the early 1990s spoke yesterday of how he was ‘gutted’ after orders to drop the case came ‘from the very top’. Retired Detective Inspector Kelvyn Ashby, of Leicestershire Police, said his team uncovered evidence supporting allegations that the then-Leicester MP used his home and a hotel to abuse a teenage boy. He said he and fellow investigator Mick Creedon, now Chief Constable of Derbyshire Police, were prevented from arresting Janner. Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders ruled that the 86-year-old peer should not face prosecution because of his dementia . ‘Someone higher up told us that we couldn’t just arrest an MP and it went no further. We were told that by someone senior, who I can’t name, but the order had to have come from the very top. I’m sure my bosses’ hands were tied,’ he told The Mail on Sunday. ‘I was extremely frustrated. Janner should have been arrested. He was treated differently because he was an MP.’ Mr Ashby, 65, added: ‘The bit that really got me was that I later got a Christmas card in the post from Greville Janner. ‘The card was an official House of Commons Christmas card and was handwritten. Retired Detective Inspector Kelvyn Ashby, of Leicestershire Police, received a thank you note from Janner . ‘It said something like “I was very pleased with the way you treated me” and invited me and my wife for a dinner at the House of Commons. I couldn’t believe it. My wife was

Former policeman said he was appalled by the Labour peer's note . Officer says superiors forced him to drop inquiries into alleged sex abuse . Four medical experts who examined the peer did not all agree on the nature and extent of his dementia, as outlined by Mrs Saunders; . Janner’s own barrister was surprised he escaped charges in 1991, and suspected attempts to influence the prosecutors’ decision; . The Director of Public Prosecutions in charge at the time said he could not even remember seeing the politician’s file.


A Washington television reporter had to duck for cover during his live broadcast when he was stung by bees after a truck carrying millions of them overturned on Friday morning. Jeff Dubois of KIRO, struggled to get through his report without swatting and waving his hands around as the bees buzzed around Interstate 5. 'Ay yiy yiy! They're flying all over the place,' a panicked Dubois says. 'It's unnerving, to tell you the truth.' During the unexpectedly dangerous report, cameraman Damien Glitch was stung more than 20 times. Scroll Down for Videos . Ouch: Jeff Dubois swats away one of the hundreds of bees that swarmed around him and his cameraman on Friday morning in Washington . 'They were pissed off,' Dubois told the Daily News. 'It was probably the wildest live report I can remember. You're trying to maintain composure, make sense on TV and not get stung by thousands of bees swarming around your head.' All the while Dubois was reporting live, tens of white-suited bee-keepers rushed to save as many of the insects as they could. The truck had just merged onto Interstate 5 around 3:30 a.m. when it tipped on its side, dumping its load of 448 hives, or about 13.7 million bees, Washington State Patrol Trooper Travis Shearer said. The driver, a 36-year-old man from Idaho, was not hurt. The company that owns the insects, Belleville Honey and Beekeeping Supply of Burlington, sent beekeepers to recover as many as possible, and bees covered their protective suits as they worked. Calmer: Dubois and his cameraman moved to safer distance away from the crash and were not bothered by the bees . Millions of bees: Beekeepers attend to a semi-trailer truck that overturned with a cargo of bees on a highway . Aftermath: Bee keepers inspect hives after a semi-truck rolled over early Friday spilling a load of honeybees on the Interstate 5 median . Rush to save the bees: Workers clean up after a semi truck filled with over 400 behives overturned on Interstate 5 . Formulating a plan: Bee keepers stand next to a semi-truck that rolled on Friday morning releasing millions of bees . Bee keepers try to salvage some of the bee hives that were dumped when a semi-truck rolled on Friday . Everywhere: Bees swarm onto a beekeepers truck along northbound Interstate 5 after the crash on Friday morning released them . The bees became more active as the sun rose and the weather warmed, and firefighters had to spray a layer of foam on some of the boxes, killing the insects for safety. Many of the hives were still along the highway more than seven hours after the accident, when a front-end loader began scooping them up and dumping them into a dump truck, Shearer said. The majority of the hives had been crushed. 'I'm sure they'll take that somewhere and try to save as many as they can, but they can do that someplace safer, away from the I-5 corridor,' he said. The bees were being transported from Sunnyside, in central Washington,

A gang of armed robbers used pink umbrellas to hide themselves as they stole £145,000 from 13 shops in a two-month crime spree. The brolly-clad thieves targeted supermarkets, convenience stores and electrical shops, swiping £2,000 worth of cigarettes and cars valued at £30,000 in the process. CCTV footage from one of the raids in Tipton, West Midlands, shows the gang using umbrellas to conceal their entrance as they burst into a supermarket, where they stole cash from the offices. Scroll down for video . Umbrella thieves: A gang of armed robbers used pink brollies to confuse staff as they raided 13 shops in a two-month crime spree in the West Midlands . The gang also threatened shop workers with hammers, knives and screwdrivers, before punching one employee in the face. In a separate raid, the men stole the store manager's Mercedes E200 which they used as their getaway car. The group have now been jailed for more than 27 years after pleading guilty to conspiracy to rob. Police caught the thieves following a raid on an Asda supermarket in Coseley, West Midlands, where they were armed with hammers and what was reported to be a gun in a plastic bag. Detectives then used forensic evidence found on the weapon to link the various burglaries, before executing search warrants on the homes of the four suspects. During the searches, police found fluorescent jackets, identical to those used in the raids, along with banks statements showing large transfers of cash. Armed: The gang also threatened shop workers with hammers, knives, golf clubs and screwdrivers . They also discovered numerous cash bags from a shop known as Farmfords, one of those targeted by the group, as well as £2,500 in cash. Mobile phones found at the addresses also showed several calls made between the group, while number plate analysis linked the defendants to the areas where the crimes had been committed. Liam Bell, 19, from Rowley Regis, West Midlands, and 22-year-old Trea Richardson, from Hansworth, were arrested in June last year, at the time of the warrants being executed. Marcus Morgan, 21, from Tividale, West Midlands, went on the run for five months before being detained in November. Guilty: Ashleigh Evans, 26 (left) from West Bromwich and Marcus Morgan, 21 (right) from Tividale, West Midlands, were jailed for ten years and seven years respectively for their parts in the 13 robberies .

Memories of drunken escapades may make us blush, but now a computer can use similar facial flushes to recognise people who have had one drink too many. Greek researchers created the algorithm, which determines a person’s state of intoxication by looking at the temperature of their face - especially the forehead and nose. And they say the technology could one day be installed in cars to spot drink drivers and stop them starting the ignition. Researchers from the University of Patras took thermal infrared photographs of 41 volunteers’ faces, before and after drinking four glasses of wine. The scientists then used artificial neural networks to compare the sober (left) and drunken images (right) pixel-by-pixel (a single pixel is shown above the left eyebrow) Researchers from the University of Patras took thermal infrared photographs of 41 volunteers’ faces, before and after drinking four glasses of wine. Thermographic cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the spectrum and create images of the radiation, where warm areas are shown red and cooler areas, blue, for example. Many people feel warmer and have hot flushes after drinking alcohol, caused by the drug affecting brain chemistry and the circulatory system. When alcohol is absorbed into the blood stream it increases heart rate and blood pressure and blood vessels open wide to allow for more rapid flow, which causes some people to flush. Alcohol also affects the hypothalamus, which regulates the body's temperature. Thermographic cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the spectrum and create images of the radiation, where warm areas are shown red and cooler areas, blue, for example. In the study, the researchers found that the temperature of the forehead and to a lesser extent, the nose, is the best indication of a person’s drunken state and built an algorithm to recognise intoxication with 90% accuracy. While the alcohol got some volunteers more tipsy than others, they all had a blood alcohol content of at least 50 milligrams of alcohol in every 100 millilitres of blood. This figure is the drink driving limit in Scotland as well as most European countries – but slightly below the English and Welsh limit of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood. The scientists then used artificial neural networks to compare the sober and drunken images pixel-by-pixel. They found that the temperature of the forehead, and to a lesser extent the nose, is the best indication of a person’s drunken state and built an algorithm to recognise intoxication with 90 per cent accuracy. The scientists wrote in the study, published in the journal Forensic Journal International: ‘It was found that it was mainly the face forehead that changed thermal behaviour with alcohol consumption.' The algorithm worked even on faces that it hadn’t been trained on, and without comparing them to images of people when they were sober. Many people feel warmer and have hot flushes after drinking alcohol, caused by the drug affecting brain chemistry and the circulatory system. They found the temperature of the forehead and the nose is the best indication of a

Summary: Researchers from the University of Patras, in Greece created the algorithm . Determines a person's state of intoxication by their facial temperature . Analysing the forehead and nose gives an accuracy rate of 90 per cent . Experts say system could one day be used by the police, and even in cars .


A volcano in Chile that has laid dormant for more than 40 years has suddenly erupted, causing a thick plume of ash to cloud the sky while thousands of people living in its shadow were forced to flee. Volcano Calbuco, in the country's south, is believed to be among the three most dangerous of Chile's 90 active volcanoes, but was not under any special observation before it suddenly sprung into life at around 6pm local time. An estimated 1,500 people were forced to flee the nearby town of Ensenada after the eruption, while several smaller townships were also cleared. Scroll down for video . Up in smoke: Volcano Calbuco, in southern Chile, has erupted forcing 1,500 residents from Ensenada, about 10 miles away, to flee their homes (pictured, a view of the eruption from Puerto Montt, a small city around 20 miles from the volcano) Boom: The eruption sent a huge plume of gas and ash soaring into the atmosphere which was visible from up to 100 miles away (pictured, the scene in Puerto Varas, around 25 miles away) Unexpected: The volcano last erupted in 1972, and while it is widely believed to be among Chile's most dangerous, it was not under observation before it erupted today (the eruption pictured from Puerto Varas) Active: Volcano Calbunco is regarded as being among Chile's three most dangerous volcanoes, and is part of an active chain of around 500 that cover the south of the country . Panic: Residents from Ensenada described 'apocalypse scenes' after the volcano erupted about 6pm local time, with local authorities setting up a 12.5-mile exclusion zone around it . Smoke and lava can be seen spewing from the Calbuco volcano in this picture taken from the shores of Lake Llanquihue in Puerto Varas . An electrical storm lights up the night sky as a huge column of ash and lava shoots out of the volcano. The eruption sparked a red alert in the port city of Puerto Montt . The volcano is located near the tourist town of Puerto Varas and the city of Puerto Montt, a little more than 620 miles south of Chile's capital, Santiago. The National Mining and Geology Service issued a high alert, setting up an exclusion zone of 12.5miles around the volcano, barring access to the area. Trevor Moffat, who lives in Ensenada, some six miles from the volcano, said the eruption happened without warning. Volcano Calbuco's last major eruption happened in 1961, with a weak eruption following in 1972. The Calbuco volcano in southern Chile erupted for the first time in more than five decades on Wednesday, sending a thick plume of ash and smoke several kilometres into the sky .

Voters are still 'in the dark' about the scale and depth of spending cuts being planned by all the main parties with just two weeks until polling day, economic experts warned today. Analysts from the Institute for Fiscal Studies said none of the major parties had given 'anything like full details' on how they will tackle the nations' debts after the election. The Tories were accused of giving 'no detail' about their deficit reduction plan, which relies on £30billion of cuts, while Labour has left the door open to borrowing an extra £26billion-a-year. Scroll down for video . The Institute for Fiscal Studies analysed the policies of all the main parties to see how their policies would increase borrowing . The IFS warned that the promise of tackling the deficit in the next Parliament is based on 'almost entirely unspecified spending cuts and tax increases'. The think-tank reached its conclusions after a detailed study of the party manifestos ahead of May's General Election. It accused Tory Chancellor George Osborne and his Labour opponent Ed Balls of failing to spell out exactly where the axe will fall. IFS deputy director Carl Emmerson said: 'There are genuinely big differences between the main parties' fiscal plans. 'The electorate has a real choice, although it can at best see only the broad outlines of that choice. 'Conservative plans involve a significantly larger reduction in borrowing and debt than Labour plans. 'But they are predicated on substantial and almost entirely unspecified spending cuts and tax increases. 'While Labour has been considerably less clear about its overall fiscal ambition, its stated position appears to be consistent with little in the way of further spending cuts after this year.' Chancellor George Osborne and his Labour opponent Ed Balls are accused of not spelling out how they will tackle the deficit . George Osborne received a pre-election boost today as official figures showed he beat his target for reducing annual public sector borrowing for the latest financial year by nearly £3 billion. Borrowing - excluding the effect of bank bailouts - was £87.3 billion for the year to the end of March, down from £98.5 billion in 2013/14, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). The result undershot the latest target of £90.2 billion set by the independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) at the time of last month's Budget. It means that annual borrowing (GDP) has fallen by more than £60 billion from £153.5 billion in 2009/10 just before the Coalition came to power. As a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) it has dropped by half from 10.2 per cent to 4.8 per cent. However, underlying debt of £1.48 trillion is more than £500 billion higher than the 2009/10 figure of £956 billion. The nation's debt represents 80.4 per cent of GDP, up from 62 per cent five years ago. The IFS analysis said the Tories planned the largest reduction in borrowing over the course of the next Parliament. It said the party would require large spending cuts or tax increases to achieve this. Research economist Soumaya

Summary: Institute for Fiscal Studies says no party has given 'anything like full detail' Labour has left the door open to borrowing an extra £26billion-a-year . Tories were accused of giving 'no detail' about £30billion of spending cuts . Boost for Osborne as he beats borrowing target by £3billion in last year .


Petrol heads suffering Top Gear withdrawals will be pleased to know the car show-sized hole in their lives will soon be filled by the return of For the Love of Cars for a second series. The Channel 4 programme, hosted by actor Philip Glenister and car designer Ant Anstead, celebrates the duo's love affair with classic cars. And each episode looks at the history of various types of vehicles, as the pair give old-bangers a new lease of life by restoring them to their former glory. Actor Philip Glenister and car designer Ant Anstead return to present a new series of For The Love of Cars . A teaser from the first episode shows Glenister – perhaps most recognisable behind the wheel of a red Audi Quattro while playing Gene Hunt in Ashes to Ashes – test driving an Aston Martin Vantage. Revving the engine before taking off at speed around a winding country road, Glenister appears to wipe the colour from Anstead's face before stating: 'This is Bond.' The second series also sees the pair broaden their horizon by working on a number of foreign-manufactured cars as opposed to just primarily British ones. Additionally, they work on more than one vehicle per episode and complete stalled restoration projects, instead of just finding dilapidated cars to fix. The finished products are then auctioned off at the end of every programme, and Anstead admits that the quality of the restorations make it hard for the owners to let go. He said: ‘You have to remember, these cars have a special place in the hearts of these people, for various different reasons. Glenister and Anstead speed around a bend as they test drive a classic Aston Martin Vantage . ‘For somebody to let go of something that important to them is hard enough, but when they see the results at the end of the restoration, it’s really tough. ‘These are jobs that they’ve not been able to finish themselves.’ The cars featured in the series include a quintessentially British Aston Martin DBS, which was brought back to life after been recovered from a barn in Oxfordshire. For The Love of Cars series two is branching out beyond just British vehicle makeovers . And a Rover SD1 police car – the classic panda car of the early 1980s – which features in a race conducted by the show’s presenters, to find out what side of the law had a speed advantage. The pair also restore two of the most iconic cars to ever come out of Europe – a run-down Fiat 500 and a VW Beetle. The first episode of For the Love of Cars will broadcast on Channel 4 on Sunday, April 19 at 8pm.

Summary: The second series is hosted by Philip Glenister and Ant Anstead . Each episode takes a look at the history of various types of car . The pair return a number of old-bangers back to their former glory . They also help people complete their stalled restoration projects .


Britain should be wary of adopting trendy pupil-led teaching techniques from Scandinavia because they may be making standards worse, a new report claims. Progressive education experts in the UK have long pushed for our system to emulate the group work and independent study that is popular in Finland, which has regularly topped international league tables. But a new analysis of Finnish education suggests pupil aptitude has actually declined since the country embraced fashionable teaching methods. Pupil-led techniques: A new analysis of Finnish education suggests pupil aptitude has actually declined since the country embraced fashionable teaching methods (file picture) According to research by the Right-leaning Centre for Policy Studies, Finland only did so well before because of the influence of traditional teacher-led methods. But it has slipped down international rankings tables as the new liberal techniques became more widespread. The findings will add weight to arguments by Michael Gove that a return to traditional teacher-led lessons are the way to raise standards in schools. The former education secretary made it his mission to fight the ‘progressive’ methodology of the education establishment, which he referred to as ‘the Blob’. Report author Gabriel Heller Sahlgren said: ‘My research shows that the methods that we have been trying to push through in England and America for years are not good for test scores. ‘Pupils who aren’t motivated are not necessarily interested in learning. If you give them too much freedom, it’s difficult to know if they’re learning anything. It’s not very effective. Former education secretary: The findings will add weight to arguments by Michael Gove (pictured) that a return to traditional teacher-led lessons are the way to raise standards in schools . ‘Here in the UK, there is a tendency to abolish traditional methods because they’re old, but we need to decrease this bias.’ Finland was proclaimed an ‘education superpower’ after appearing at the top of international rankings tables between 2001 and 2009. Many in the education establishment have pushed for the Finnish model of pupil-led learning to be used as an inspiration for the British system. Instead of giving whole-class instruction from a blackboard, teachers have instead adopted small group work, independent learning and educational activities and games. But today’s report, which examines education policy and performance in Finland over the last half century, found implementation of the new methods coincided with a recent slump in performance. Between 2006 and 2012, Finland’s performance in PISA tests run by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) declined. It sunk by 18 points in scientific literacy, 23 points in reading literacy, and 29 points in mathematical literacy. In 2006, it was second in the world for maths, while in 2012 it was 12th. Rankings for reading and science also slipped several places. Report author: Gabriel Heller Sahlgren (above) said the methods 'are not good for test scores' Teachers training in the 1990s learnt the new methods and only began to teach them in the 2000s, the report said. Before this, education in Finland had been traditional, hierarchical and teacher-led, according to the author, and it was

Summary: Finnish methods include pupils working in small groups or independently . In 2006 Finland was second in world for maths, but down to 12th by 2012 . During period its test scores dropped 29 points in maths and 23 in reading . Michael Gove has argued for return to traditional teacher-led lessons .

Celtic manager Ronny Deila will try to persuade Jason Denayer and Manchester City to extend the centre-back's loan deal next season - but Hearts captain Danny Wilson is also among his defensive targets. Denayer made his full international debut in Belgium's 1-0 European Championship qualifying victory in Israel on Tuesday night, coming on as a substitute after Vincent Kompany was sent off. The 19-year-old also faces competition from Kompany at City, and Deila would welcome another season-long loan arrangement. Celtic want to keep Manchester City defender Jason Denayer (left) on loan for another season . Hearts captain Danny Wilson is another defensive target for Celtic manager Ronny Deila . But, with Denayer due to spend pre-season with his parent club in a bid to prove himself, there is no guarantee he will return, and certainly not in time for Celtic's Champions League qualifying campaign beginning in mid-July. So Deila confirmed he would look to sign a centre-back and responded to reports that former Rangers player Wilson was among his list of potential targets. 'That is one of many names we are talking about but there is nothing serious in that,' Deila said. 'But he's a good player.' Deila, who spent last week watching Norway training before their 5-1 defeat in Croatia, added: 'Jason is going back to Manchester City after the season to have a pre-season and we will see if we can get him back or not. That is something we want, but we have to co-operate with City. 'But I think it's good for him to stay here because hopefully we will get Champions League qualification and that will make him even more experienced. 'Jason is ambitious - he wants to play at the highest level he can. But it's playing that is the most important thing, and playing at Manchester City is very, very hard. If not, I think Celtic is a good club for him.' Celtic boss Ronny Deila has confirmed that he will ask Manchester City if he can keep Denayer next season . Denayer rises highest to score against Aberdeen at Celtic Park at the beginning of last month . Celtic were involved in another loan deal this week when 18-year-old midfielder Liam Henderson joined Rosenborg until the summer. Henderson has made 22 first-team appearances, but competition has increased recently with the signings of Stuart Armstrong and Gary Mackay-Steven. 'Rosenborg called me and asked if we had a midfielder that could be available and Liam Henderson is a very, very talented player and he needs games,' Deila said. 'This was a good move for him. We have a lot of options in midfield and he can play until July 1 and get as much experience as possible. It's a big club as well - the biggest club in Norway, high expectations there. This will give him more experience as a player and a person. 'He was quite keen and that's what good about Liam - he is so ambitious. He really wants to play and develop all the time. 'He saw this as a very good

Summary: Jason Denayer has enjoyed a successful season on loan at Celtic . Ronny Deila will ask Manchester City about keeping him for next season . Hearts captain Danny Wilson is also among Deila's defensive targets .

They’re the kind of colourful adverts that would have been created by the real-life Don Drapers, Peggy Olsons and other ‘mad men’ of Madison Avenue. These vintage posters are a throwback to the golden age of air travel, when flying was an exclusive experience, passengers wore their best clothes and there was plenty of legroom. They’re featured in a new coffee table book, Airline Visual Identity 1945-1975, which revisits a time when the skies were dominated by the likes of Pan Am, British Overseas Airways Corp (BOAC) and Continental. Scroll down for video . Pan American World Airways (Pan Am) was a dominant and influential airline which declared bankruptcy and ceased operations in 1991 . Many of the adverts in the book featured beautiful women in an effort to glamorise destinations and encourage people to travel . British Airways promoted its launch of the Concorde in the 1970s (left) while Trans World Airlines (TWA) promoted its New York route . Authored by Matthias C Huhne, the 436-page book contains dozens of glamorous adverts that encouraged those who could afford to fly to visit far-flung destinations such as Haiti, Hawaii, Japan, New York and London. The simple but effective posters showcase each destination with eye-catching cartoons or photos of beautiful women, landmarks such as Times Square and Tower of London, and natural beauty spots including Bermuda’s picturesque coastline and Sydney Harbour. New York was one of the most popular destinations featured in the adverts in Airline Visual Identity 1945-1975 . The adverts were created for the biggest airlines of the day, including TWA and Canadian Pacific, which no longer exist . British Overseas Airways Corp led to the creation of British Airways (left) while Continental merged with United Airlines' parent company . It was a time when it cost an incredible amount of money to purchase a ticket for a commercial flight, with many of the ads promoting transatlantic or transpacific travel. The adverts created for the biggest airlines of the day, including many which no longer exist, offer a glimpse at how air travel, advertising and society changed over the 30-year period covered in the book. From a psychedelic image of a surfer in Hawaii to British Airways' introduction of the Concorde, the posters reflect the eras in which they were created by some of the best creative minds of the time, including Ivan Chermayeff, Otl Aicher, Massimo Vignelli and Saul Bass, Academy Award-winning filmmaker. The posters are a throwback to the golden age of air travel, when flying was an exclusive experience and passengers dressed smart .

Caretakers of Abraham Lincoln's tomb are on the defensive over an unflattering critique in National Geographic magazine and looming budget cuts that could threaten management of the historic site, even as they commemorate the 150th anniversary of the U.S. Civil War president's assassination. For the state that calls itself the 'Land of Lincoln,' the timing of a ceremony Wednesday in Springfield to mark his death is awkward because Illinois faces a financial crisis and Gov. Bruce Rauner has proposed eliminating the state Historic Preservation Agency that manages sites including the tomb as it currently exists. He would roll the agency into another department. What's more, the popular tourist site was pilloried in this month's issue of National Geographic magazine as having 'all the historical character of an office lobby.' Landmark: In this Feb. 12, 2015 file photo, Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner participates in ceremonies honoring President Abraham Lincoln at the Lincoln tomb in Springfield, Illinois . Leader: A marker is seen over the burial site of Abraham Lincoln inside Lincoln's tomb within Oak Ridge Cemetery (November 2013 file photo) Killing: President Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth at a performance of the play 'Our American Cousin' in April 1865 . Recounting the route of Lincoln's funeral train to Springfield for burial, historian Adam Goodheart describes the tomb as 'a disappointment' and reconstructed in 'incongruous Art Deco style.' 'It's strange to think that there is a place where Lincoln still physically exists in the world, let alone that it's a place like this,' writes Goodheart, who is director for Washington College's Center for the American Experience in Maryland. Goodheart's publicist didn't immediately return a request for comment. The hours and days the Lincoln tomb is open have been reduced, and it's staffed with fewer employees since state lawmakers last year cut $1.1 million funding for sites in the Springfield area. On Tuesday — the 150th anniversary of John Wilkes Booth's shooting of Lincoln, although the president was pronounced dead the following day — Joan Boatz and a group of former bridge club friends found the tomb's iron door locked, despite a sign saying the site should be open at that time. Chris Wills, spokesman for the Historic Preservation Agency, said the correct times when the site is open are posted on its website. Pam VanAlstine, president of the Lincoln Monument Association, said she's deeply concerned about what more cuts might mean for the Lincoln site. 'We're all scared to death,' said VanAlstine, who also serves as a volunteer tour guide. 'We don't know how things are going to be run.' She and other supporters of how Lincoln's final resting place is presented to the public said the National Geographic portrayal was unfair.

Ronald Koeman's message to his Southampton players is a clear one: Forget about the others, focus on yourselves and start scoring goals. The Saints' stellar season has stuttered in recent weeks, largely due to their impotence in front of goal. In their last 10 league matches they've scored just seven times, resulting in a haul of 14 points from a potential 30. Southampton manager Ronald Koeman wants his team to rediscover their scoring form to make Europe . Southampton striker Graziano Pelle (centre) has struggled to reproduce his form from the start of the season . Pelle's struggles in front of goal could see him removed from the side to play Hull on Saturday . Still, though, the south coast side are punching well above their weight and sit seventh in the Premier League with 53 points from their 31 outings -- one point behind Tottenham Hotspur in sixth and Liverpool in fifth. European football is the goal and, starting with Hull City on Saturday, Saints have seven matches to chase that dream. 'You have to look at yourself and to do your best,' Koeman said on Thursday. 'You have to have the ambition, spirit and quality. 'We have a little bit more difficulty in creating enough chances to score and we have to work on that. Now the situation at the moment is that we are fighting for fifth, sixth and seventh position in the table and that's still very good. 'We have a home game now and if you want to finish up in the table you have to win games like this.' Saints have failed to score in five of their last nine league matches, and Koeman could be poised to recall Senegalese striker Sadio Mane to the starting 11. Sadio Mane (left) is pushing for a recall to the Southampton side for the home game against Hull . Koeman is trying to lead Southampton into the Europa League and they are currently seventh on 53 points . Koeman is looking for his best attacking combination and with Graziano Pelle continuing to misfire, winger Mane could be called on to play up the middle. 'We need to have patience and we need to bring more quality in front (of goal). Then it's all about the performance,' Koeman told the club's YouTube channel. Hull are scrapping for their top-flight lives and will be tough to break down. The Tigers are one place above the drop zone, two points clear of Queens park Rangers and Burnley, and six above rock-bottom Leicester.

This is the moment when a not-so-little baby elephant seal emerged from the sea to give a surprised tourist one big cuddle. Charlene Fritz, 35, was visiting Snow Hill Island in the Antarctic Peninsula as part of an expedition when she made an unusual friend on the beach.

Will you be my mummy? Elephant seal pups are abandoned by their mothers at just one month to learn how to take care of themselves . Charlene, from Saskatchewan, Canada, said: 'The seal climbed on top of me without hesitation. We shared a very sweet moment in time I will never forget. 'Her mouth was all pink inside and her eyes were amazing to look into. Like the deepest depths of the sea. I could have stared into her eyes forever.' She added: 'It was made very clear to me that I was in no way allowed to touch her with my hands or approach her. 'She came to me from across the beach and made all of the decisions to cuddle up. I wanted to hug her so badly. 'Physically she felt like a big dough ball, super warm and like she had no bones. She did not smell of fish or have bad breath. She had never even eaten a fish at that point in her life.

Charlene, whose 2011 encounter with the seal was filmed by a friend, had at first wondered why the seal was so friendly but later learned about the harsh weaning process. She said: 'Basically the mother fattens them up with her milk for a month or so, then abandons them on the beach. 'They have never been in the ocean to learn to fish or anything and basically lay there starving until they figure out to take the leap of faith and go into the sea. 'This is why they can be so sweet and looking for love, I guess.' However, an encounter with a full-grown elephant would have been a

This is the breathtaking moment a diver came face to face with a 'fish tornado' off the Mexican coast. Tori Hester, 25, from San Diego, California, was diving in Cabo Pulmo when the huge school of Trevally fish began circling above her. Husband Jeff, 26, was on hand to capture the incredible moment using his underwater camera. Stunning: Tori Hester was diving off the coast of Mexico when the school of fish began circling above her . 'Today, the biomass is booming and the ecosystem is returning to a healthy state which is how we managed to witness this incredible sight,' Jeff explained . Jeff, a marine scientist, said: 'We arrived in Cabo Pulmo, a tiny town made up of dirt roads with a population right around 100, not really sure what to expect, but had heard some pretty amazing stories about the place.' 'We were swimming along and saw a small band of Jacks heading away from us, so we followed them,' he explained. 'That small band slowly grew bigger and bigger, until out of the distance, this massive fish tornado appeared. 'I was awe-struck. I had never seen anything like that before in my life.' Tori's husband Jeff, a marine scientist, was on hand to capture the moment using his underwater camera . He added: 'It was such a productive ecosystem, with not only a large quantity of fish, but a wide diversity of organisms as well. 'I believe this is what our oceans should look like, this is why I was I was drawn to make this image.' But Jeff explained that Cabo Pulmo hadn't always been like this. In 1995, a marine park was established by residents to tackle the problem of overfishing. 'Today, the biomass is booming and the ecosystem is returning to a healthy state which is how we managed to witness this incredible sight,' he explained.

Boxer David Haye was arrested at Dubai airport and held in a police cell over a £341,000 bounced cheque, it has been reported. Former two-weight world champion Haye, 34, was stopped by officials on his arrival at Dubai International Airport and accused of fraud by writing a cheque as payment for a new property which bounced. The boxer also handed over his passport to authorities, and has been unable to leave the United Arab Emirates - forcing him to miss a mixed martial arts event in Birmingham at the weekend. Former heavyweight boxing champion David Haye was stopped at Dubai International Airport and questioned over allegations that he wrote a £341,000 cheque which bounced. He is pictured during his trip to Dubai . The cheque, worth 1.8million Emirati Dirham, was intended as a final payment on a newly-built property, as part of a deal with developers Emaar, which is part-owned by the Dubai government. Haye has said the 'bounced' cheque was down to an administrative error. He told The Sun's Michael Hamilton: 'The cheque was presented to the bank four days before I landed. It was not due to be presented until final completion of my property, which is due in a few weeks. 'This was an administrative error which is being rectified. I explained to the police and presented documents as proof. But I can totally understand these mistakes can happen.' Writing a cheque that later bounces is a crime in Dubai, and can be punishable with jail, a fine, and being ordered to pay the amount. Haye, 34, was stopped by officials after his arrival at Dubai International Airport for a holiday . Haye was reportedly taken to Bur Dubai police station, which has a department for bounced cheque suspects, and was released the same day . Police give suspects one month to pay the value of the cheque, before taking the case to court. Figures released last June showed that Dubai police dealt with almost 80,000 bounced cheques in 2013/14, worth 9.4 billion Dirham, or £1.7 billion. According to The Sun, Haye was held at the airport as he arrived for a holiday earlier this month after he was flagged up on a wanted list. He was reportedly taken to Bur Dubai police station, which has a department for bounced cheque suspects, and was released the same day. Haye had been due to attend a mixed martial arts event in Birmingham on Saturday, but was unable to leave Dubai. Instead he went to a Robbie Williams concert in Abu Dhabi . He surrendered his passport, as did two of his associates. The Foreign Office is understood to have had no involvement in the case. During his stay in Dubai, Haye has reportedly been staying at the luxurious Palm Jumeirah development, and has been tweeting photographs of himself enjoying the sunshine, as well as meeting fans. He posted a video to his Instagram account today thanking fans for their concern over an 'administrative issue' as he walked along a beach in the sunshine. In the video, which he captioned 'Don't

Brendan Rodgers has urged Liverpool to turn Wembley back into 'Anfield South' and believes an FA Cup semi-final victory over Aston Villa on Sunday would help his players develop a stronger winning mentality. Rodgers is looking to lead Liverpool to an eighth FA Cup victory and his first piece of silverware since replacing Kenny Dalglish as manager in 2012. And the Northern Irishman believes that while trophy success is imperative for any Liverpool team, success this season could pave the way for many more trips to Wembley in the future. Brendan Rodgers leads Liverpool for the first time at Wembley since arriving at the club in 2012 . Liverpool's last trophy success came in 2012 in the League Cup under Kenny Dalglish . Rodgers wants Liverpool to reclaim the form that led Wembley being called 'Anfield South' by supporters . 'The history of the competition is set here at Liverpool, with the great victories they've had in the past,' Rodgers said in an interview with The Football Association. 'And this is a club that is based around winning trophies. 'Wembley was somewhere that used to be known as 'Anfield South'. Liverpool used to visit Wembley so much it was a regular occurrence for them. 'We have some gifted young players who we want to springboard their careers by allowing them to feel the mentality of winning and that would really help us.' The 42-year-old Rodgers also spoke of his eagerness to claim his first piece of silverware at Liverpool. He took the side to brink of winning the Premier League for the first time last season but while Liverpool have undoubtedly progressed under his guidance, their last trophy win was the League Cup in 2012 under Dalglish. 'I want to be in the game for a long time, and be renowned as someone who is up there at the elite level and looking to win trophies,' Rodgers said. '(The FA Cup) is synonymous throughout the world. It's the real competition in domestic football that the players love to win.' Rodgers believes cup glory would help his players develop a stronger winning mentality for future seasons . Should Rodgers (left) guide Liverpool to victory, Steven Gerrard will have a chance to lift a cup in his last game . Rodgers has an indifferent record against Villa since arriving at Liverpool. He has beaten the club three times at Villa Park but has yet to record victory over the Midlands side at Anfield in the league in his three seasons, losing twice. Should Liverpool reach the final against Arsenal on May 30, it would present captain Steven Gerrard with the chance to sign off his era at Liverpool by lifting a trophy.

Summary: Liverpool take on Aston Villa on Sunday for a place in the FA Cup final . Brendan Rodgers is leading Liverpool at Wembley for the first time . The manager wants to ingrain a trophy-winning habit into his players .


Under pressure Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola has revealed that 'only the treble is enough' for his team as they attempt to overturn their 3-1 deficit against Porto in the Champions League. Bayern host the Portuguese side on Tuesday and Guardiola is confident the Bundesliga leaders will emerge victorious. 'I am completely convinced that my players will take their chances,' Guardiola said. 'I know which club I am at and know that (league) champions and cup winners is not enough. Only the treble is enough.' Pep Guardiola is targeting winning three trophies with Bayern Munich this season .

Philipp Lahm will look to lead his team into the semi-final of the Champions League on Tuesday . Bayern remain on course for three trophies, leading the Bundesliga by 12 points and will meet Borussia Dortmund in the German Cup semi-final. The Bavarians won the treble under then coach Jupp Heynckes in 2013, just before Guardiola took over. The current Bayern boss also won the treble with Barcelona in 2009, when they became the first Spanish club to win the domestic league and cup as well as the Champions League in the same season. Ahead of the visit of Porto, Guardiola said on Monday that France winger Franck Ribery is highly unlikely to recover from an ankle injury in time to feature for Bayern. Ribery has been out for more than a month and Guardiola said it was more likely the player would miss the second leg of the quarter-final in Munich as the Germans look to recover from a stunning 3-1 defeat in Portugal last week. 'I do not think that Franck can play,' Guardiola told reporters. 'I will speak with the our doctor but my feeling is that he can't make it.' Guardiola's hopes of turning the tie around have been hampered by a string of injury absences, including to key players Arjen Robben, David Alaba, Javi Martinez and Medhi Benatia. Bastian Schweinsteiger is also fighting to get fit in time for the game and Guardiola said the Germany captain would train with the team late on Monday for the first time.

A drug-addicted Ryanair steward who swiped a £500 camera left on a flight was rumbled by the owner who spotted the listing on eBay and reported him to police. Teacher Aaron Galloway, 23, was on a half-term city break to Prague when he left his expensive SLR camera on the seat as he landed in the Czech Republic capital. Ground crew phoned the flight attendants within minutes but cabin crew said there was no sign of the £499 Nikon. Flighty: Ryanair steward Fernando Miguel Andrade Viseu begged Adam Galloway not to report him to police when he replied to a message warning him that he could prove that he was selling stolen goods . When Aaron got home, he went on eBay to find a replacement and was astonished to see his own camera for sale with just 35 minutes left on the auction. He messaged seller Fernando Miguel Andrade Viseu, who confessed to the theft - and admitted being a Ryanair flight attendant. Aaron checked his eBay profile and found Viseu had sold 118 items in the previous few months, including Ray-Ban sunglasses and expensive Skullcandy headphones. Snapshot: Aaron realises that the camera advertised on eBay is the one he left on the flight . Rumbled: Teacher Aaron realises the seller must work for Ryanair and sends over some strong words . 35 minutes to go: The listing that Aaron Galloway found when looking for a replacement camera . The Portuguese-born thief begged Aaron not to tell police and said he would lose his job but officers raided his home near Stansted and found the D5200 Nikon. Viseu was charged with the theft of the camera as well as stealing a Kindle from an unknown owner and pleaded guilty in court. However, he's not being investigated for any other offences at this time or being pursued under the proceeds of crime act. Magistrates in Chelmsford, Essex, ordered to attend a drug rehabilitation programme for six months by the court on March 9 and pay £145 costs. They also imposed a community order and ordered him to do 100 hours of unpaid work. Ryanair have now sacked him. Aaron, a primary school teacher, said: 'When I saw it on Ebay I couldn't believe it. 'I was angry with Ryanair to be honest. How can they not notice someone just taking things off the seats? 'He had deleted everything from the camera - photos of Christmas, of a family member who had passed away and my graduation - all wiped. 'I'd been looking forward to taking lots of photos on my holiday and that was just ruined.'

Aaron went online when he got back home to Brighton, East Sussex, after his three-night break and was astonished to see his camera.

Patients who are too fat could be denied routine operations to save money, a survey of health bosses has revealed. More than a third of NHS trusts are considering rationing some types of surgery and other treatments. Several have admitted they may impose 'eligibility' rules which could affect smokers as well as the overweight. More than a third of health trusts are considering rationing some types of surgery and other treatments to save money, according to a new study . The criteria for accepting patients for operations would be based on their Body Mass Index, which measures obesity. When senior managers at 67 Clinical Commissioning Groups – local health trusts – were asked, 39 per cent said they were planning to 'limit access' to routine treatment for financial reasons. Procedures affected include varicose vein treatment, hip and knee replacement, and breast reduction surgery. Others said smokers might be denied some treatments, most commonly IVF. Senior doctors criticised the plans and accused health managers of denying patients vital treatment simply because they were considered to be 'undeserving'. Dr David Paynton, of the Royal College of GPs, said: 'Decisions about whether our patients are eligible for surgery or treatment need to be made on a case-by-case basis and by whether surgery will benefit a patient's long-term physical and mental health. 'It should not be the role of CCGs to impose blanket bans on patients' access to surgery, nor to decide who is and who is not deserving of potentially life-saving treatments based on their lifestyle choices. Obese patients could be denied varicose vein treatment, hip and knee replacement, pictured, and breast reduction surgery, while smokers could be banned from having IVF on the NHS . 'Of course, some procedures cannot be performed on patients who are above a certain weight. 'In these cases, a clinical decision needs to be made about whether surgery would be beneficial if the patient lost weight – but this is a separate issue.' Katherine Murphy, chief executive of the Patients Association, said: 'Each case must be individually assessed and each decision must be ethical and in the best interests of the patient. 'It is easy to target vulnerable patients and we must be very careful not to unfairly discriminate against people who aren't always able to speak out.' A Conservative Party spokesman said: 'If health bodies stop patients from having treatments on the basis of cost alone, then we will take action against them.' There are 211 CCGs in England so the survey by the Health Service Journal covered just under a third. Last year, a CCG in Devon threatened to ban all non-urgent treatments for anyone severely obese with a BMI above 35. This is equivalent to a 5ft 6in woman of 16st or a 6ft man being 18st 13lb. After an outcry, the policy was dropped. A survey by GP magazine last month found that 80 per cent of CCGs ration at least one procedure to patients who are very obese. Doctors have blamed excess sugar and carbohydrates for the surge in obesity – not the lack

Summary: More than a third of health trusts are considering rationing some surgery . Several admit they may impose 'eligibility' rules refusing some patients . Obese patients could be denied knee and hip replacements and breast ops . While smokers may be told they cannot have IVF procedures on the NHS .

Many people will know the feeling of spending hundreds of pounds on so-called 'miracle' products that claim to solve all-manner of beauty woes. While most of these products end up collecting dust in the back of a drawer, beauty has seen an insurgence of natural alternatives, with all-purpose ingredients such as coconut oil taking over in their place. One woman has promised to revolutionise beauty regimes with her creation of more than 100 products, all organic and natural, that can be concocted in your own kitchen. Fifi M. Maacaron's book, Natural Beauty Alchemy, contains over 100 ingredients which treat all-manner of skincare ailments such as acne, oil and dryness . Fifi M. Maacaron uses full-fat cream cheese in a face mask, which supposedly quenches the skin . Fifi M. Maacaron, 36, is a pharmacist and natural skincare expert who believes that natural alternatives are the way forward, especially in the midst of gimmicky expensive products. Maacaron, from Newport News, Virginia, created her book, Natural Beauty Alchemy, not only to showcase that there are inexpensive alternatives to store-bought products, but also to explain many myths surrounding skincare. For example, while cream-cheese is usually more used to seeing the top of a bagel, Maacaron proposes another use for it. Her Winter Rescue Mask is specially formulated for dry and weather-beaten skin and contains full-fat cream cheese. The 36-year-old author explains that the richness of the cheese will quench the skin and help protect it against weather-induced dryness. Apple cider vinegar has been cited as a great cleansing agent, and is included as an ingredient in the Subtle Bubble Shampoo . Sesame oil is another beneficial natural ingredient, containing antioxidants and is well-tolerated by most skin types, even the most sensitive ones . Apple cider is used in several of the recipes, in a toner for acne-prone skin and also in a shampoo - the acidic nature of the ingredient working as a great cleansing agent. Other recipes suggest alternatives to everything from cleansers to foot creams to even perfumes, which use a spread of natural products including green tea to rinse hair, potatoes for a face mask and coffee grounds for cellulite. Natural Beauty Alchemy was born when author Maacaron went on the search for a perfect product, and was shocked by the falsity of some store-bought products. She says: 'As I entered into my 30s, I felt that my skin needed more care. 'As a pharmacist, I read ingredients labels and many times I'd study each facial cream in the 'green and natural section' and come out empty handed and shocked at the extent of dishonesty and fraudulent marketing.' The natural skincare expert began formulating recipes herself and became a go-to for her friends and family. Honey and lemon juice are other products that are regularly featured as beneficial natural skincare ingredients . She explains: 'I reached a point where I was becoming a reference to friends and family and many would ask me for recipes. 'I've tried all of the recipes because I formulate them. I am a big fan of coconut

Summary: Fifi M. Maacaron, 36, from Newport News, Virginia , is a pharmacist . Natural Beauty Alchemy has over 100 recipes for natural products . Has organic recipes for face, hair and body that all can be mixed at home .


A farmer has captured the adorable moment a duckling groomed a lamb's woollen coat in a 'heartwarming sign of trust and friendship'. Videoed enjoying the sunshine outside, the lamb named Winter stands very still with its head lowered towards the baby duck. Walking around to the front of the lamb, the duck begins pecking away at the lamb's head and neck as if grooming its woollen coat. The lamb lowers its head as the duckling approaches (left) before the adorable scene unfolded (right) Clearly enjoying the attention, the lamb keeps its head lowered as the pecking appears to become slightly more erratic. The lamb appears as though it is about to walk away when it drops to the ground and allows the duck to continue. Behind the lamb a number of adult ducks can be seen walking past in a group as the duckling begins to gently peck away at Winter's face. The duckling begins to peck away at the lamb's face (left) as a group of adult ducks waddle past (right) The lamb’s owner said: ‘What could be mistaken as pecking is actually a heartwarming sign of trust and friendship. ‘The duck pecks out little clumps of debris that gets stuck in Winter's woollen coat. ‘They seem so comfortable with each other that Winter can just lay down on the grass for a nap and let his feathered friend do what he does best.’

Probe: Dr Rory Lyons was suspended by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service and his surgery raided following four deaths 'of concern' The unexpected deaths of two members of a family are at the centre of a criminal probe into their GP. Detectives raided Dr Rory Lyons’ private health centre and medical officials have suspended the 62-year-old from treating patients. Cousins Karen and Colin Cosheril were patients of the Alderney family doctor when they died. Islanders claim the death from pneumonia of Karen, 52, in January prompted the investigation, which then uncovered three more deaths of concern – including that of retired stonemason Colin, 63, who died of heart failure in May. Mr Cosheril’s sister – ambulance technician Brenda Webb – said she complained to Guernsey’s health service after his sudden death. The mother-of-two, 61, said: ‘His death was very sudden. It was a shock. My brother was getting well one day and the next day he went downhill too quickly – the day after that he was dead.’ A family friend of divorcee Karen Cosheril, who used to work at the island’s Chinese takeaway, said: ‘Just before she died there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with her. Then she phoned me and said she was in hospital. 'The next day I got a call saying she had died from pneumonia and I thought, “That is sudden isn’t it?” It was strange because that usually takes time.’ A family member said of Miss Cosheril, who was also known by her married name of Tayleur, said: ‘Her death is one of those being investigated. We were in complete shock when we heard.’ More than 10 Guernsey police officers flew to the island to search Dr Lyons’ Eagle Medical Practice last Thursday. The surgery remained shut over the Easter weekend. A note referring patients to the other island practice was pinned to the door and signed by Dr Lyons, who also worked at the island’s care home. The father-of-two lives in Alderney with his wife. The blinds of their home were shut over the weekend but he was spotted at a flat close to the surgery in the town of St Anne’s. He has not responded to requests for comment. Medical records and other documents were seen being taken from his surgery during the five-hour police search. A search warrant was also executed at a private address. A spokesman for Guernsey’s Health and Social Services Department said the investigation was launched when concerns were raised about a death earlier in the year. The police were then informed after an internal investigation identified the three other potentially suspicious deaths. All four patients died in the past 18 months. Relatives: Cousins Karen and Colin Cosheril were patients of the Alderney family doctor when they died. Karen, 52, left, died in January of pneumonia and Colin, 63, right, died of heart failure in May last year . Family liaison officers have also been sent to the island to help relatives of the deceased. Guernsey Chief of Police Patrick Rice said: ‘This decisive early action was necessary to

Action sparked by death of Karen Cosheril, 52, from pneumonia in January . Probe uncovered three more deaths of concern - including Karen's cousin .


Kevin Pietersen has hinted the first chapter of his county comeback could be streamed live to fans. The divisive batsman has re-signed for Surrey this summer in an attempt to win an unlikely England recall, having been thrown an apparent lifeline by incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves. He has not played in the LV= County Championship since 2013 but is set to start the season with the Brown Caps in the hope of turning the selectors' heads and reversing last year's controversial sacking. Kevin Pietersen will step up his attempts to earn an England recall when he starts batting on Monday . The 34-year-old Pietersen wants to end his England absence that started after the 2013-14 Ashes whitewash . Pietersen (right) rejoined Surrey after incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves said domestic form would help . The 34-year-old has indicated that his campaign will start with a three-day warm-up against Oxford MCCU on April 12 and he is due to return to the nets on Monday. Pietersen announced that to his 2.3 million Twitter followers on Easter Sunday, raising the prospect of using the social network's new broadcast app, Periscope, to showcase his session in real time. He wrote: 'Starting to bat tomorrow...might @periscopeco it, so all of you can watch it Live & see how I get on. Should I? #comeback'. Quite how Pietersen's '#comeback' will pan out in the long term is unclear. He clearly feels Graves' words are encouragement enough of a Test recall but after so many bitter recriminations - and one dazzlingly indiscreet autobiography - there are still many bridges to build. His decision to hit the county trail, so long a bete noire in his career, at least offers the platform for him to nudge both selectorial and public opinion from close quarters. But when England flew to the West Indies on Thursday ahead of the forthcoming Test series, the messages were thoroughly mixed. Captain Alastair Cook, who was not given a glittering write-up in the Pietersen's book, largely absolved himself from the decision-making process, insisting it would be taken by Graves, managing director of England cricket Paul Downton and chief executive Tom Harrison. Coach Peter Moores was less ambiguous. Moores was sacked from his first stint in charge in 2008, partially at the behest of Pietersen, whose intervention also cost him the captaincy. Incoming ECB chairman Graves advised that signing for a domestic side would help Pietersen's cause . Alastair Cook (left) was coy on Pietersen's chances of a recall but Peter Moores said he 'isn't on the radar' Moores was previously dismissed as England coach at the behest of Pietersen when he was captain . He was then belittled as a nagging 'woodpecker' in the the batsman's memoir and reconciliation between the two men would appear a stretch. Asked at Gatwick about the situation, Moores said: 'From my point of view, Kevin isn't on the radar.' He would, therefore, seem an unlikely viewer of Pietersen's Periscope net session.

Summary: Kevin Pietersen has re-signed for Surrey in attempt to earn England recall . He revealed on Twitter he will return to batting for Surrey on Monday . England coach Peter Moores said Pietersen 'isn't on the radar' to play .
