Pupils applying to Cambridge University may have to take an entrance test next year for the first time in almost 30 years. Tutors are deciding whether to bring back the exams, which would be designed to select the exceptional applicants. The university said recent changes to the exams system made it more difficult to decide which students to admit. Pupils applying to Cambridge University may have to take an entrance test next year for the first time in almost 30 years . According to trade magazine Schools Week, documents presented to senior tutors say the university is ‘being forced’ into changing its system of using AS-levels to assess applicants. The paper says that GCSEs ‘will not give us a reliable measure’ due to their ongoing reform and that ‘schools’ predictions of grades will be next to useless’. At present, the university uses unified mark scheme (UMS) scores calculated from students’ performance in their AS-levels - which are known when they apply to university - to decide which applicants are invited to interview. But under coalition reforms planned to ‘toughen up’ the qualifications, AS exams will be optional for cohorts starting this September and scores will no longer contribute to the overall A-level. The Labour party has pledged to halt the changes and retain AS-levels. University departments have now been asked for their views on a ‘main proposal’ to reintroduce the tests from the 2016-17 admissions round. Under coalition reforms planned to ‘toughen up’ the qualifications, AS exams will be optional for cohorts starting this September . Mike Sewell, director of admissions for the Cambridge colleges, said: ‘In the light of the recent A-level reforms, the university is in the process of considering all options available so that we may continue meeting our goal of admitting the best and brightest students from all backgrounds.’ Oxford University already uses subject-specific aptitude tests. Most of its admission tests are organised by the Admissions Testing Service. The disclosure has been met with concern by school leaders, who said institutions with fewer resources may not be able to properly equip pupils for the tests. Eddie Playfair, principal of Newham Sixth Form College, London, said: ‘There’s a danger students in smaller sixth forms don’t have the same resources and might lose out. 'It could be one more barrier in the way.'

Summary: Pupils applying to Cambridge University may have to take an entrance test . Exams could be introduced next year and would help select best applicants . University says changes to exams has made it harder to choose students .


Vowing to cling on: Liberal Democrats leader Nick Clegg makes a speech during a General Election campaign visit to Sutton in south London yesterday . Nick Clegg yesterday vowed to cling on as Liberal Democrat leader even if the party is wiped out at the polls. Friends of the Deputy Prime Minister have previously indicated that he will quit as leader if the Lib Dems are reduced to fewer than 30 MPs, while sources have also suggested he will go if the party is left out of power after the election. But yesterday he insisted he would fight for his job ‘in all circumstances’. He told Sky News: ‘I’m really optimistic about the prospects of Liberal Democrats. 'Of course I want to continue to serve the country and serve my party, which I am so proud to have served for seven or eight years now.’ He added: ‘I want to lead the Liberal Democrats into and through the next Parliament in all circumstances. ‘All I am focused on at the moment is sounding the alarm about the very, very real risk that as the Labour Party and Conservative Party vacate the centre ground and hare off in which direction after another, there is a very real risk we undo all the sacrifices and hard work that have gone in over the last five years to put the country back on track economically.’ Meet and greet: Mr Clegg (far right) speaks to voters and their families during a General Election campaign visit to Sutton with Paul Burstow (second right) the party's candidate for Sutton and Cheam . His comments came as Business Secretary Vince Cable said he hoped to be made Chancellor if the Lib Dems form another coalition with the Conservatives. Mr Clegg also appeared to lean towards another deal with the Tories, saying he deserved ‘credit’ for forming the Coalition while he had endured ‘five years of constant bile from the Labour Party, who condemned us vitriolically for taking decisions which we only had to take because we had to clear up the mess they left behind’.

Summary: Sources claimed he'd go if Lib Dems are reduced to fewer than 30 MPs . But yesterday insisted he would fight for his job 'in all circumstances' Warned of 'very real risk we undo all the hard work over last five years' Vince Cable hopes to be Chancellor if Lib Dems form another coalition .


It appears that David Luiz has taken the phrase 'twiddling my hair' literally judging by the injured Paris Saint-Germain star's latest Instagram post. The PSG defender is out for at least four weeks after scans revealed that the 27-year-old suffered a torn hamstring in Sunday's 3-2 win at Ligue 1 title rivals Marseille. And it seems that boredom has already kicked into the usually jovial Brazilian as he sported a new hairdo on Wednesday. David Luiz posted an Instagram picture sporting a new hairdo in the style of a man bun on Wednesday . Luiz (centre) has time on his hands at present after tearing a hamstring at Marseille on Sunday night . The Paris Saint-Germain defender immediately signalled to the bench that he would need to be replaced . Accompanied with the caption: 'Parisien!' Luiz has his usually flowing brown locks styled into a man bun. The centre back's new look seems to be a source of amusement for his PSG team-mate Lucas Moura who later shared a picture with Luiz among his Instagram followers. 'I'll let you choose the nickname,' the midfielder wrote as he referred to Luiz's barnet later that afternoon. And while Luiz's hair may be a laughing matter to his team-mates, his injury will not be for manager Laurent Blanc as they seek Ligue 1 and Champions League glory this season. The former Chelsea defender will miss both legs of their quarter-final tie against Barcelona in Europe, while potentially missing eight league matches as they look to defend their crown. The 27-year-old (left) will be out for at least four weeks after scans revealed the severity of the injury .

Loneliness is often associated with elderly people who may have lost their partner or feel isolated because they're less mobile. But a new report released today reveals that it is in fact younger people who feel more lonely than older generations - despite being more connected to their friends online. The survey, funded by the Big Lottery, found that more than 80 per cent of young people feel lonely at some point. Scroll down for video . Chloe Jackson, 19, appeared on today's This Morning to talk about how Facebook makes her feel lonely . The research revealed that half of those aged 55 and over said they never felt lonely. In comparison, 43 per cent of 18 to 34-year-olds admitted they wished they had more friends. A third of the under 34-year-olds said they found it hard to make new friends and they didn't know how to form new friendships. Many admitted they were more likely to interact with friends online than face-to-face and that seeing what their friends were up to via social media sites like Facebook increased their feelings of isolation. One young person who feels this way is Chloe Jackson, 19, from Norfolk, who appeared on today's This Morning to discuss the issue. She told presenters Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford that she often feels lonely thanks to websites like Facebook. She said: 'You look at all the things your friends are doing on social media where they have checked into a pub and tagged their friends or shared pictures of themselves out having fun and you're sat at home not there. 'During my A levels I spent lot time inside revising but you still see all these people having fun without you and it's hard not to take that personally.' Ruth, 54, agreed that this contrasted with her experience growing up as 'when we were young, if you weren't invited to a party you didn't know about it.' Chloe added that people often create an online persona that doesn't reflect how they are really feeling and as a result, she often feels under pressure to do the same. She said: 'It makes you feel down all the time you are expected to be massive happy person like you are on social media, you start doubting the friends you have got. I have 1000 friends on Facebook but I don't have 1,000 friends in real life.' Chloe said Facebook often made her feel like she was left out of the fun her friends were having . This Morning's agony aunt Denise Robertson advised people to be proactive if they are feeling lonely. She suggested they join more groups, take up a new hobby or organise an event like a coffee morning in order to meet more friends. She said: 'Friendship like love does not climb in your window, if you don't go out, you won't find it.' The Big Lottery funded survey was carried out to promote 'The Big Lunch', an idea from the Eden Project encouraging people across the UK to have lunch with their neighbours on

Summary: Younger people feeling lonelier than older generations according to report . 43% of 18 to 34-year-old wish they had more friends . Many only interact with friends online . Chloe Jackson, 19, said Facebook makes her feel lonely . Feels left out when she sees friends' posts when they're out having fun .


Almost 20,000 years ago a woman was buried deep within a cave on the Iberian peninsula, stained in sparkling red paint and adorned in yellow flowers. Her grave provides the first evidence of an ancient Magdalenian burial in the region and an engraved stone found near her remains appears to have been a makeshift tombstone. But the reasons why the female - dubbed 'The Red Lady of El Mirón' - was buried in such an elaborate tomb, close to an area where her peers would have lived day-to-day, continues to baffle archaeologists. The Red Lady's remains (burial site pictured) were found in the El Mirón Cave in Cantabria, Spain. Radiocarbon dating suggests she was buried 18,700 years ago. When the remains were first uncovered they were stained with a sparking red material, later found to be red ochre from a haematite crystal . During the Upper Paleolithic period the Magdalenian culture occupied much of western Europe and spanned from as early as 10,000 BC. Magdalenian hunters lived in caves, but sites have been found that consisted of shelters made from bones and animals skins. The Red Lady's remains were first uncovered in 2010 during excavations of such a cave called El Mirón Cave in Cantabria between Santander and Bilbao. After discovering a range of individual bones, researchers from the University of New Mexico led by Lawrence Straus, unearthed a mandible and tibia that suggested a full skeleton was placed towards the rear of the cave. The Red Lady's remains were uncovered in 2010 during excavations of the El Mirón Cave in Cantabria. After discovering a series of individual bones, researchers unearthed a mandible and tibia that suggested a full skeleton was placed towards the rear of the cave. Radiocarbon dating suggests this burial took place 18,700 years ago and that the female was aged between 35 and 40 when she was entombed. She was 'robust, relatively tall, [and] apparently healthy', explained the researchers , and would have lived in the 'cold, open environment of Oldest Dryas.' Herself and her peers would have used stone tools, needles made from bones and projectile tips fashioned from the antlers of the deer and the cave would have been used for shelter and living quarters. They would have hunted for ibex and red deer, fished for salmon and ate plants, including some seeds and mushrooms. When the remains were first uncovered they were stained with a sparking red material, later found to be red ochre from a haematite crystal. This has since faded. A engraved tombstone was found nearby. The pigment and tombstone has led researchers to speculate she was a person of status or authority and was ritualistically buried in such a way to oversee her subjects.

In March last year three residents, allegedly armed with knives and baseball bats, were hospitalised after a violent brawl broke out involving 20 men, reported The Gold Coast Bulletin. Residents of the caravan park said that one of the biggest problems in the park stemmed from drugs and alcohol abuse. One residents said that much of the violence had to do with 'who's paid and who hasn't paid'. ‘There’s blues all the time, and there’s no security at all,' he said.

Louis van Gaal has won a battle to install floodlights at the club's Carrington training ground. The meticulous Manchester United boss was stunned to find that players could not train after dark at the swish complex on the outskirts of the city when he arrived last summer. He immediately ordered a raft of improvements including the installation of floodlights. Sportsmail understands Van Gaal is very keen to replicate match conditions during sessions. Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal looks on during a training session alongside Wayne Rooney . An aerial view of Manchester United's swish Carrington training base without its floodlights . The Manchester United boss was stunned to find players could not train after dark at the swish complex . If United are due to play a night match he would prefer them to prepare by training under lights and, should they be playing in a 3pm kick-off in the winter, he would like to train at a similar time amid fading levels of light. Previous managers at the club have tended to stick to regular morning slots. A club source said: 'The manager pays very close attention to detail. By putting the lights in it allows him to recreate conditions much closer to what the players may face.' United have had to persuade planning bosses that the development would not disturb the local bat population. As part of their proposals, called in a bat expert to inspect the premises where the likes of Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Ander Herrera hone their skills. Particular concerns were raised over the impact of the three species spotted at the rural location, the common pipistrelle, soprano pipistelle and Daunbenton's. However, Trafford council have now granted planning application and work should start shortly. Van Gaal would prefer them to prepare by training under lights ahead of a night match to replicate conditions . The installation of the lights will also allow Van Gaal extra time to work with his charges in bleak winters . The installation of the lights will also allow Van Gaal, who famously spends hours on the training ground, extra time to work with his charges in the notoriously bleak Manchester winters. United's planning application stated: 'The benefit of the floodlighting is that it will allow for greater use of the training pitches, particularly during the winter months. 'This is essential in enabling the football club to compete with other clubs, both at domestic and international levels. The floodlighting will enhance the usability and function of the training centre, further helping to maintain its world class status.' The likes of self-confessed Coronation Street fan Rooney and Co, however, will not find themselves there late at night. Approval was granted on the condition that the lights were not used between the hours of 9pm and 9am. Manchester United manager Van Gaal speaks during a press conference at the training centre last week .

One million men are now actively choosing to work part-time as they become more involved in childcare or retire gradually. Official figures show there has been a stark 14 per cent rise in the number of men opting to work part-time in the last two years. This compares to a 4 per cent rise in women choosing part-time work over the same period, according to the Office for National Statistics. One million men have chosen to work part-time as they become more involved in childcare or are retiring gradually . There are now 1.02million men in the UK who have opted to work reduced hours, compared to 4.58million women – who more commonly work part-time to care for children or family. It follows a sharp rise in the number of stay-at-home fathers, with the latest figures showing a 6 per cent annual rise, compared to a 28 per cent fall in the number of stay-at-home mothers. Men now make up one in 10 parents who care for their children or family full-time. But recruitment experts said the rise in part-time male workers also signalled an increase in pre-tirement – a trend where older gradually reduce their hours rather than suddenly retiring. Out of the 8.2million part-time workers in the UK, 5.6million have chosen to work shorter hours, 1.35million cannot find full-time work, 200,000 are ill or disabled and 1.02million are students. Karen Mattison, of Timewise – a company which helps people find flexible work – said: ‘In the past, discussions about flexible work have tended to focus more on women – and particularly mothers – rather than on men. ‘The challenge we face, is debunking the myth of the outdated perception of what flexible working means and for who. ‘Just as there is ‘no one reason’ for needing flexibility, there is no one ‘gender’ who needs it either. ‘Out of the 5.6 million people now choosing to work part time in the UK, the number of men now doing this has now hit the one million mark. ‘This is the future of work as we know it, and it is refreshing. Those who choose to work flexibly – be it reducing their hours or increasing their home working – are shaking up the status quo for both businesses and employees.’ There are now 1.02million men in the UK who have decided to reduce their hours compared to 4.58million women . Patrick Foley, Lloyds Banking Group’s chief economist, is one of a growing number of executives opting for part-time work. He is one of the most senior leaders at the group, yet works three days a week. He said that opting for part-time after many years of full-time work had enabled him to write a book and compete in Ironman triathlon races. Mr Foley said: ‘Having started working part time, I only wish I had done this earlier. It has brought new balance into my life without impacting my contribution in the office.’

Summary: Only 4% more women have chosen to go part-time over the last two years . There are now 1.02million men in UK who have decided to reduce hours . Men now make up 10% of parents who care for children or family full-time .

Hillary Rodham Clinton took aim at Republicans on Monday for latching on to a new book that details sweetheart deals she allegedly made between foreign governments and the U.S. State Department in exchange for speaking fees and donations to her family foundation. 'It is, I think, worth noting that the Republicans seem to be talking only about me,' she told reporters in the liberal New Hampshire bastion of Keene. 'Hopefully we'll get on to the issues.' Clinton dismissed the swirling questions as little more than political attacks from Republicans eager to gain an early advantage in the 2016 presidential contest. And campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination, she pushed back hard. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO .

She also took issue with economic views expressed by members of her own party, offering a dark assessment of a 'stalled out' U.S. recovery, a judgment at odds with President Barack Obama's brighter view of what the nation has achieved on his watch. 'It's not enough just to tread water,' she said. NOT READY FOR HILLARY: A lone protester vented his spleen at the New Hampshire Technical Institute while Clinton held a roundtable inside . In a traditional Democratic stand, she voiced her strong support for Social Security, a program some Republicans are eager to trim back, describing it as 'not a luxury' but 'a necessity.' Standing in front of wooden pallets and boxes of furniture parts, Clinton was asked by reporters about Peter Schweizer's coming book, 'Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich.' The book argues that the Clinton family got speaking fees and donations in return for favors to various foreign interests doled out while she was secretary of state. Sen. Rand Paul, a 2016 GOP candidate, said that would make people 'question whether she ought to run for president.' Republicans have spent months talking about financial dealings of the Clinton Foundation to raise questions about Hillary Clinton's character. She stepped down from the organization's board within hours of announcing her campaign. The foundation has come under scrutiny for accepting foreign contributions, including from Middle Eastern nations that deny equal rights for women. Some also are on the front lines in the fight against terrorism. Last week, the foundation revised its policy to permit donations from six U.S. allies in Europe, Australia, and North America

Summary: 'Republicans seem to be talking only about me,' Hillary told reporters in New Hampshire . That's true: A forthcoming book claims she traded official favors at the State Department for speaking fees and donations to her foundation . 'Hopefully we'll get on to the issues,' she said . Clinton has yet to publicly articulate her own platform of issues and policy goals as a presidential candidate .


A teenage boy who shot and killed a teacher and wounded several others in an attack inside a school in Barcelona had a 'hit list', local media reports. The 13-year-old boy is said to have listed 25 names of teachers and pupils he intended to kill and had told classmates of his plans as recent as last week, but none had taken him seriously. The teenager reportedly walked into the school armed with a machete and crossbow around 9.15am this morning, killing a male teacher and injuring two students and two teachers. Scroll down for video .

Ander Herrera has caught the eye in recent weeks after cementing a spot in Manchester United's starting line-up but it appears he does not actually have a clear sight at goal. Herrera netted a brace against Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon without actually looking at Brad Guzan's goal as his eyes appeared to be shut when making contact with the ball. In fact, six of Herrera's seven goals have been scored without him even having to glimpse at either the ball or the opposition's net. Manchester United star Ander Herrera scores his side's opening goal against Aston Villa with his eyes shut . The Spanish midfielder appears to have his eyes closed as he strikes at Brad Guzan's goal . Aston Villa and England midfielder Fabian Delph attempts to block Herrera's left-footed shot . His eyes were wide open when he struck an impressive first-time shot against Yeovil in the third round of the FA Cup back in January. However his double against Aston Villa and his goals against Queens Park Rangers, Leicester, Preston and Swansea all came without Manchester United's summer signing having to make eye contact with the ball. Herrera appears to have a history of shooting with his eyes closed as the image of his goal for Spain's Under 20 side back in 2009 shows. Herrera hits the back of the net while representing Spain's Under 20 side against Tahiti . The former Athletic Bilbao joined the Red Devils for £29million in the summer due to his vision and creativity in midfield. Louis van Gaal heaped praise on the 25-year-old's shooting ability after Saturday's Premier League encounter at Old Trafford, by stating: 'He has a very good kicking technique and he should be more composed,' Van Gaal said to MUTV. 'I said to him 'you have to control the ball before you shoot'. 'I said that to him again in yesterday's training session, and then I kissed him at half-time because he had controlled the ball for the first time in his life and then he shot.' Herrera's eyes were also shut for Manchester United's third goal against Aston Villa on Saturday .

A new collaborative robot (pictured) can work alongside human factory workers . Helpful robots are typically shown as mechanical maids or humanoid teachers in sci-fi films. But now there’s a new collaborative robot that can work alongside human factory workers to give them a helping hand. The Fanuc CR-35iA claims to be the first 'heavy-lifting industrial collaborative robot' to work with humans without the need for safety fences. The Coventry-based company Fanuc's robot uses integrated vision technology called iRVision to keep an eye on humans and automatically stops if it touches an operator. This removes the need for safety fences - a previous requirement for all industrial robots - and is said to increase efficiency and enable a higher level of automation, the firm claims. The robot can lift objects weighing up to 77 lbs (35kg) and could be used in a number of industries, from warehouses to production lines. For example, it could move heavy objects or assemble parts within a shared workspace without safety fences. ‘Collaborative robot technology opens up a new era for manufacturing in which humans and robots will work even more closely on tasks; increasing productivity and efficiencies across the plant floor,’ said Chris Sumner, vice president of Fanuc. The machine is covered in a green soft plastic cover, which is designed to protect humans and stop them being ‘pinched’ in the event they are touched by the robotic arm. Of course, robots have been used on production lines for decades. In the car industry for instance, many are automated so robots perform the bulk of dangerous tasks, such as welding, away from humans. Amazon has already introduced robots to it vast warehouses to work along human employees. The Fanuc CR-35iA claims to be the first 'heavy-lifting industrial collaborative robot' to work with human employees without the need for safety fences. Images of plans are shown above . Robots have been used on production lines for decades. In the car industry for instance, many are automated so that robots perform the bulk of dangerous tasks, such as welding (pictured), away from humans . Some 15,000 robots pick up items ordered by customers in warehouses to save humans walking miles. The robot can lift up to 77 lbs (35kg). It's designed to work alongside humans without the need for safety fences. The robot stops what it's doing if it touches a human. This is down to integrated vision which lets it 'see' human employees. It has a protective green covering so it doesn't 'pinch' workers. It's designed to be as reliable as other robots on production lines and could be used in warehouses to lift heavy objects, for example. ‘We pick two to three times faster than we used to,’ 34-year-old Amazon worker Rejinaldo Rosales said during a short break from sorting merchandise into bins at Amazon's massive distribution centre in Tracy, California, about 60 miles east of San Francisco. ‘It's made the job a lot easier.’ The squat orange robots use technology acquired when the company bought robot-maker Kiva Systems in 2012, according to Dave Clark, Amazon's

Summary: The robot Fanuc CR-35iA was engineered by a company in Coventry . It is designed to be used alongside humans without safety fences . Uses vision technology to look for humans and stops if it touches them . Could be used in warehouses to lift heavy items up to 77 lbs (35kg)


Dr Nadeem Azeez, 52, (pictured) is thought to be in Pakistan but was yesterday charged with manslaughter by gross negligence . An international arrest warrant has been issued for an NHS doctor who is believed to have left the country after a teacher died following a caesarean. Dr Nadeem Azeez, 52, is thought to be in Pakistan but was yesterday charged with manslaughter by gross negligence, along with fellow anaesthetist Dr Errol Cornish, 67. Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust is also accused of corporate manslaughter – the first time a health trust has been charged with the offence since its introduction in 2008. Frances Cappuccini died within hours of her second son’s birth after suffering major complications that resulted in the loss of half her blood. At an earlier inquest hearing, the family’s lawyer said her death might have been avoided if doctors had not persuaded her to change her birth plan. The 30-year-old – a primary school teacher – had intended to have an elective caesarean at Tunbridge Wells Hospital. But she and her husband Tom, 35, reluctantly abandoned their plans after doctors said they should allow labour to progress naturally overnight. Their son Giacomo was eventually born by emergency caesarean – but Mrs Cappuccini suffered massive bleeding and died soon afterwards on October 9, 2012. Her husband was left to bring up the little boy – who has the middle name Frankie in memory of his mother – and the couple’s other son, Luca, five, by himself. The family’s lawyer Neil Sheldon told Mrs Cappuccini’s inquest that she was left struggling to breathe for 90 minutes without being given sufficient oxygen. He also questioned why the teacher did not receive a blood transfusion earlier and suggested there could be an issue with maternity ward staff overruling women’s wishes for their birth plans. The inquest was halted in February last year so evidence could be referred to prosecutors to allow them to consider bringing criminal charges. Mr Sheldon said at the time: ‘The family has not entered into the process for any other reason than to have questions answered. They are not trying to have anyone convicted, but they do want to find out what happened and why.’ Neighbours said Dr Azeez then moved away in September after splitting up with his wife – who is also a doctor – and selling his house in Tunbridge Wells. He had attended school and completed his medical training in Lahore, Pakistan, before coming to Britain. The father of two is also currently suspended from the General Medical Council’s register of doctors. Tragedy: Frances Cappuccini, 30, died from a haemorrhage hours after giving birth to her second son Giacomo on October 9, 2012. Two doctors have been charged with manslaughter by gross negligence . Heartbreak: Lawyers said Mrs Cappuccini and her husband Tom, 33, from West Malling, Kent had decided on birth by planned caesarean - but were allegedly persuaded to try a natural birth instead . A spokesman for Kent Police said: ‘An international warrant has been issued for the arrest of

Labour leader Ed Miliband read from motivational notes during the leaders’ televised debate (above) He was widely criticised for his robotic performance in last week’s debate as he failed to land a convincing blow on David Cameron. Now it has emerged Ed Miliband was reading from motivational notes during the leaders’ clash – including one reminding him to be a ‘happy warrior’. His cribsheet prompts him to turn a ‘negative’ into a ‘positive’ and reveals he had planned a number of the put-downs he used on David Cameron – such as, on the deficit: ‘Does that sound familiar? Well, it should, because he said it five years ago.’ The Labour leader urges himself to ‘stay calm, never agitated’ and ‘relish the chance to show who I am’. His scrawled notes, found in his dressing room after the ITV debate, give an insight into his mindset before he took to the rostrum with the six other party leaders. Mr Miliband reminds himself to talk to the camera, ‘use the people at home’ and get across his ‘decency, passion, leadership’. The Labour leader reveals his planned ripostes to two possible Tory attacks, accusing him of forgetting the deficit and of telling journalists he wanted to ‘weaponise’ the issue of the NHS. He accuses the Prime Minister of promising to eliminate the deficit and failing, and urges viewers to ‘use their vote as a weapon to fight for the NHS by kicking David Cameron out of Downing Street’. But some of the planned one-liners against his Conservative rival were not used, including: ‘I can take five more weeks of attacks of me, but the British people can’t take five more years of you.’ Tory MP Charlie Elphicke said such ‘marketing speak’ was ‘cringe-worthy’, adding: ‘Ed Miliband is looking increasingly bizarre. 'First he forgets the deficit, then he forgets his notes in the dressing room. Marketing speak like “happy warriors” is very much the tactic of motivational gurus … I think most people will think it’s cringe-worthy.’ Scroll down for video . His notes, found in his dressing room after the ITV debate, give an insight into his mindset before the clash . In his self-motivational notes, Labour leader Mr Miliband (pictured above during the debate as Natalie Bennet speaks) wrote the words ‘negative’ and ‘positive’ connected by an arrow as well as the term 'Happy Warrior' The publication of the notes in a newspaper yesterday was compared to BBC2 satire The Thick Of It, in which a party leader is mortified when her notes referring to ‘quiet bat-people’ are photographed. A poll by headhunters Korn Ferry yesterday found 70 per cent of FTSE 100 chairmen think Labour would herald an ‘economic catastrophe’. A FTSE 100 boss, who did not wish to be named, said Mr Miliband ‘appears to completely misunderstand business’. It comes after Mr Miliband drew ridicule for declaring ‘hell yeah!’ when asked by Jeremy Paxman in the first TV election clash if he was tough enough to be Prime Minister. ‘Happy warrior’ was coined by William Wordsworth to describe Admiral Lord Nelson. In

Summary: Labour leader Ed Miliband had motivational notes for televised debate . Secret cribsheet revealed his set of reminders including 'me versus DC' Also included words: 'Happy warrior', 'Calm, never agitated' and 'Decency' Labour defended notes calling them evidence of Miliband's 'positive vision'


SeaWorld has been accused of drugging killer whales, painting over their injuries and keeping them in pools so shallow they get sunburned. A lawsuit filed by Joyce Kuhl, a grandmother from South Carolina who visited the Orlando park in 2013, claims orcas are being kept in 8ft deep holding pools, leaving the marine animals 'essentially roasting'. In her suit, Ms Kuhl alleges that the resulting burns are so bad staff are forced to paint the orcas with black zinc oxide to disguise the injuries . Scroll down for video . Accusations: A lawsuit claims the orcas at SeaWorld Orlando are being kept in shallow holding pools which give them such bad sunburns staff are forced to paint them to disguise the injuries . Ms Kuhl wants to have her $97 ticket reimbursed, as well as tickets for millions of other visitors who have been to the park in the past four years, accusing SeaWorld of 'false, misleading and deceptive business practices,' the Orlando Sentinel reports. In her suit she also alleges that the giant marine mammals are being deprived of food for days while being trained to perform at SeaWorld, and that the chlorine used in their tanks is 'many times stronger than household bleach'. Kuhl's suit details allegations of forced breeding, incestuous inbreeding and whales kept together in ways that make them hyper-aggressive so that they fight and inflict deep gashes on each other. She claims to have witnessed whales 'banging their heads against their tanks and grinding their teeth on the walls, floors and bars until their teeth break or are worn to the pulp, allegedly because of boredom, frustration and ennui,' The Guardian reports. This is the second lawsuit against SeaWorld in less than one month, with similar filed in California which accuse the company of 'misleading the public' by claiming that their killer whales are happy. The lawsuit also alleges that the giant marine mammals are being deprived of food for days while being trained to perform at SeaWorld . This follows a failed social media campaign last month, during which SeaWorld organised a Q&A on Twitter using the hashtag #AskSeaWorld. Instead of the intended questions about opening hours, animals and attractions, the company was asked if their 'tanks were filled with orca tears'. Many people used the opportunity to express their anger at the company and questioned its ethics for keeping killer whales and other animals in captivity, often in solitary confinement. User @AshleeCheese_ tweeted: 'Why do you keep breeding whales when you barely have enough room for one? #AskSeaWorld.' Another campaigner @Jennyleeisme followed suit and tweeted: 'Do you really believe Shamu Stadium is the most advanced marine mammal habitat? Have you seen the ocean? #AskSeaWorld.' Animal rights group PETA was quick to make its views known, tweeting a series of photographs of the marine creatures, reportedly showing signs of their distress. The backlash comes two years after the release of the documentary BlackFish, which questioned the conditions orcas were kept in following killer whale Tilikum's fatal attack on trainer Dawn Brancheau at SeaWorld Orlando in 2010.

A teacher in New Jersey who assigned her third-grade class to write 'get well' letters to a sick inmate convicted of killing a Philadelphia police officer was suspended Friday, the school superintendent said. Orange School Superintendent Ronald Lee said in a statement that school administrators 'vehemently deny' any knowledge of Marilyn Zuniga's assignment. Preliminary inquiries found that Zuniga did not seek approval from administrators nor were parents notified, Lee said. The letters were delivered to Mumia Abu-Jamal in prison following his hospitalization last month for what his family said was treatment for complications from diabetes. Suspended: Marilyn Zuniga (left), a teacher at Forest Street School in Orange, New Jersey (right), controversially had her third graders write letters to Mumia Abu-Jamal and then sent them to the cop killer as he was recovering in hospital from collapsing in prison. She has now been suspended without pay, pending an investigation . Ill: Mumia's supporters say photos of the prison journalist released this week by his wife show how ill and frail he is. Untreated diabetes is said to be the reason for Abu-Jama's hospitalization last week, but he has since been released . The former Black Panther is serving life behind bars for the 1981 murder of white Philadelphia police Officer Daniel Faulkner. His conviction was upheld through years of appeals, but he has gained international support for his claim that he is the victim of a racist justice system. A supporter and history professor at Baruch College, Johanna Fernandez, brought him the letters. She posted on her Facebook page that 'he chuckled as he read excerpts from these touching letters'. Abu-Jamal was released from a hospital in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, on April 1, and returned to the prison, she said. The school district was closed for spring break and the superintendent said a full investigation would begin when classes resume on Monday. Zuniga will remain suspended without pay until the investigation is completed, the superintendent said. Additional action could be taken by the school board once the investigation is finished. An email The Associated Press sent Zuniga seeking comment was not immediately returned. A second batch of students, from the the Philadelphia Student Union, also sent Abu-Jama letters. 'Get well soon': Third graders in Orange, New Jersey, and high school students in the Philadelphia Student Union have sent Mumia Abu-Jamal letters wishing him well after he was hospitalized last week . Delivery: Johanna Fernandez (right), a professor of history at Baruch College, delivered Mumia Abu-Jamal a batch of letters from two different schools in hospital. He is pictured here also with (from left) Abdu Jon and Pam Africa . 'We shared a touching moment with Mumia in an effort to raise his spirits,' Fernandez reported. 'Two teachers delivered letters to us that their students had written to Mumia.' 'It had been a long time since we had seen Mumia smile.' A picture of some of the letters appeared online, however it is unclear what they actually said. However the fact they were written and then presented to Abu-Jamal has infuriated many.

A Utah man was shocked to discover that his 'informal meeting' with a federal official to discuss veterans was actually with President Barack Obama. Last Friday, 26-year-old Lance Futch donned a white wrinkled polo shirt and drove to Hill Air Force Base in Utah thinking he was going to be led into an auditorium to talk about how to help veterans get more jobs in the infinitely abundant field of solar energy. Instead, Futch was sat at a table with Obama, Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, congressman Rob Bishop, and Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker - all of whom were wearing suits and ties. Scroll down for video . Surprise!: Lance Futch (right) was shocked on Friday when his meeting with a Federal White House official about jobs for veterans turned out to be with President Obama . 'I was told that it was going to be an informal event — that it was going to be business casual,' Futch told The New York Post on Wednesday. 'If I had known it was my Commander-in-Chief, I definitely would have been wearing my blues,' said the National Guardsman, referring his dress uniform. Futch said he was shocked but honored when the senior official turned out to be Obama. 'That's just amazing,' said Futch, describing the experience. The White House had asked Lehi-based company Vivant Solar to send a representative with military affiliation to the base during Obama's visit last week. The company chose Futch, who designs solar cells and is serving his fourth year in the Utah Air National Guard. Kady Cooper of Vivant Solar told Daily Mail Online that the discussion lasted about 40 minutes and that Obama asked Futch specifically about solar energy as a career path for veterans. He told the president that it's a growing industry and a great opportunity for a stable career path after the military. 'We're always going to have a sun,' Futch told the AP on Wednesday. At the Hill Air Force Base, Obama announced the expansion of solar energy training programs from the current three military bases to a total of 10.

A Craig Cathcart goal was enough to put Watford top of the Championship with just two games of the season remaining following a 1-0 win over Birmingham. The Hornets went into the game knowing a win would take them back into the automatic promotion places following Middlesbrough's victory at Norwich on Friday. They looked as though they would have to settle for second after Matt Ritchie put Bournemouth ahead against Sheffield Wednesday and on course for top spot, but Chris Maguire's stoppage-time penalty at the Goldsands Stadium denied the Cherries and left Watford on top of the pile. Craig Cathcart fired Watford into the lead with a stunning strike in the 56th minute . Birmingham goalkeeper Darren Randolph. is powerless to stop Cathcart's sublime effort . The decisive goal at Vicarage Road came in the 56th minute when substitute Ikechi Anya crossed from the left and Cathcart sent a fine volleyed finish into the top corner past goalkeeper Darren Randolph. Despite looking good in possession going forward, it took the Hornets almost 20 minutes to begin to open up the Birmingham defence. They were unfortunate not to take the lead, though, when a fine pass from Adlene Guedioura created the opportunity for Troy Deeney who was denied by a good save with his legs by Randolph. The ball then broke for Matej Vydra, whose follow-up was deflected up and onto the crossbar. Vydra and Guedioura threatened before the home side went close again when the ball was played into Almen Abdi and he spun superbly away from his man to shift the ball onto his left foot before curling a shot narrowly wide of the far post. Cathcart races away to celebrate his decisive goal for the Hornets . Watford continued to press for the breakthrough in the remainder of the first half but they were unable to seriously threaten again before the interval. But it was a double change from manager Slavisa Jokanovic in the 54th minute that was to prove the catalyst for his side taking the lead as he brought on Anya and Odion Ighalo for Miguel Layun and Vydra. Within two minutes, Anya had been released down the left by Deeney and the Scotland international's first-time cross into the near post was met by a superb effort over his right shoulder by Cathcart. Scotland forward Ikechi Anya made a huge contribution when he was introduced in the 54th minute . Having gone in front, Watford missed a great chance to double their lead a couple of minutes later when Almen Abdi's floated free-kick picked out the unmarked Gabriele Angella, but he headed over the top. Angella had another chance and on this occasion he did nothing wrong, meeting an Abdi corner with a downward header only to see it cleared off the goal-line. There was little else in the way of goalmouth action, with the drama instead coming on the south coast as Jokanovic's men were left with their destiny in their own hands.

Summary: Craig Cathcart stuck the only goal of the game in the 56th minute . If the Hornets win their final two games, they will be promoted . Bournemouth were held 2-2 at home to Sheffield Wednesday .


Scientists may have captured the song of a new species of whale living in the Antarctic. The song can’t be identified and doesn’t fit the pattern of noise generated by the few known species of beaked whale, raising hopes that it could be coming from a completely new species. While beaked whales make up the second largest family of cetaceans, relatively little is known about them, mainly because they spend very little time on the water’s surface. Experts are sure the noise isn’t made by Arnoux's beaked whales or Cuvier's beaked whales (stock image), because the signal doesn’t match . There are 22 species of beaked whale and all of them are elusive deep divers, meaning that they are most often identified by their songs, which they use to navigate. The mysterious ‘Antarctic BW29 signal was recorded near the Orkney Islands, South Shetland Islands, and Antarctic Peninsula by scientists led by Jennifer Trickey of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, at the University of California, in La Jolla, California. They have recorded the noise more than 1,000 times to conclude that it’s unique in the composition of sounds making the signal and in timing, BBC Earth reported. ‘Given that new species of beaked whale are still being discovered, the source of these Antarctic signals might be a species that has yet to be identified,’ the study says. But the song belong to a strap-toothed whale, a southern bottlenosed whale or a Gray’s beaked whale (pictured), according to the study, despite the sound being the wrong frequency for a Gray’s beaked whale . Whale sounds are used by whales for different kinds of communication. The word 'song' is used to describe the pattern of regular and predictable sounds made by some species of whales. Only males 'sing'. While the complex sounds of the humpback whale and some blue whales are believed to be primarily used in sexual selection, all whales use simpler sounds all year round to communicate. Whales occupying the same geographical areas, which can be vast, tend to sing similar songs with only small variations. Male humpback whales have been described as 'inveterate composers' of songs and experts have said that their songs are similar to human music in many ways. Experts are sure the noise isn’t made by Arnoux's beaked whales or Cuvier's beaked whales, because the signal doesn’t match their songs. But it could belong to a strap-toothed whale, a southern bottlenosed whale or a Gray’s beaked whale, according to the study, published in the Journal of Marine Mammal Science. It is very rare for strap-toothed wakes to be sighted as far south as the noises have been heard, while the noise is the wrong frequency for a Gray’s beaked whale, leaving the southern bottlenosed whale as the most likely match. But again there’s a problem, because the whale’s relative, the northern bottlenose whale, makes very different calls, leading experts to think that the southern species probably vocalises in a similar way – unlike the Antarctic BW29 signal. Experts have also recorded an ‘Antarctic BW37’ signal on six occasions, which

Summary: Antarctic song doesn't fit the pattern of noise made by beaked whales . Beaked whales are elusive deep divers about which little is known . Song could hint at a new species or could be made by a southern bottlenosed whale, although experts have their reservations .

A stunning fireball that crackled across the sky near the Russian-Finnish border last year shared its orbit with a huge asteroid found in October. This is according to a new study which claims the Kola fireball had a 'disturbingly similar' path to asteroid 2014 UR116, which is due to pass by the moon in 2017. Spotted on April 19 last year, researchers used camera footage to help recreate its trajectory and hunt down any remaining fragments.

Joseph Maria Trigo-Rodríguez, a researcher at the Institute of Space Sciences in Barcelona, Spain, headed the team of scientists who studied the meteorite's orbit. They determined the fireball's path by studying its flight and the meteorite's final impact site, before creating a computer model based on those figures. This led researchers to the Annama meteorite, which is an ordinary H5 chondrite - a group of space rocks with high strength that make up 31 per cent of meteorite falls. The computer model compared the orbit of Annama, a 1,100lb (500kg) rock, with the evolution of a dozen orbits of near-Earth asteroids.

This led researchers to the Annama meteorite (pictured) The computer model compared the orbit of Annama (pictured), a 1,100lb (500kg) rock, with the evolution of a dozen orbits of near-Earth asteroids . 2014 UR116, a mountain-sized asteroid which passes Earth every three years, was discovered by Russian scientists in December. Vladimir Lipunov, a professor at Moscow State University, said the space rock, poses no immediate threat - although warned it could 'theoretically' hit Earth.. However, he said it highlights the damage an asteroid could cause - in this case an explosion 1,000 times greater than the surprise 2013 impact of a bus-sized meteor in Russia. At 400-metres (1,300 feet) in size, the space rock is about the same size as the Empire State Building is tall. Proffesor Lipunov said it is difficult to calculate the orbit of big rocks like '2014 UR116' because their trajectories are constantly being changed by the gravitational pull of other planets. It showed a similarity with the evolution of 2014 UR116, which given its size and minimum distance to the planet, has been classed a 'potentially dangerous asteroid'. Vladimir Lipunov, a professor at Moscow State University, said the space rock, poses no immediate threat - although warned it could 'theoretically' hit Earth. Currently, 1,573 asteroids of this type are known so researchers are investigating to what extent they can pose a danger. While the study does not claim that asteroid 2014 UR116 sent the Annama meteorite directly at Earth, it suggests the two bodies are related. Scientists believe that streams of asteroid fragments can travel on nearly identical orbits. Tidal forces may disperse the debris over time and

Summary: Scientists created a computer model to analyse Kola fireball's trajectory . It had similar orbit to asteroid 2014 UR116 due to pass by moon in 2017 . This suggests the two bodies may be related as streams of asteroid fragments can travel on nearly identical orbits .


Countryfile presenter Ellie Harrison said that she completely 'accepts' that she will one day be replaced on the BBC show. The 37-year-old, who has defended her image against criticism that she's too 'Hollywood', told The Mirror: 'You're hot one year but completely out of favour the next.' But the mother-of-two, who joined the programme in 2011, said she'd love to stay where she is for 'a long time'. Scroll down for video . Ellie Harrison has spoken about how she believes that she will fall out of favour on Countryfile . She told The Mirror: 'It's a funny business and the nature of the beast with females is that what you get is not down to you.' She continued to say that she knew that she would become less popular. 'You are hot one year but completely out of favour the next. I know next year someone will be hotfooting it. I accept that and I know that.' For Ellie her appearance has always been a sensitive area on Countryfile as in December 2014 she revealed that she was told to tone down her look. After her first appearance on the BBC show in 2011 she was told her flowing blonde tresses were 'too present.' She was asked by producers on the Sunday evening show to be more countryside, 'less Hollywood' in her appearance - a statement she believes was related to the long blonde locks that have earned her fame. Ellie says that as a woman 'what you get is not down to you' and she wouldn't be surprised if she was replaced . In 2011 Ellie was asked by producers to be 'less present' a comment she believes was directed at her blonde hair. Pictured: presenters (L-R) Matt Baker, Ellie, Adam Henson, Tom Heap and John Craven . At the time she said the statement was an example of the problems she has encountered because of her good looks, as well as the different culture in the UK compared to the US - which she said was far more welcoming. 'It is celebratory over there; they really want you to do well,' the mother-of-two told Countryside magazine. 'It's like over here they would almost rather you were on the edge of a breakdown.' In 2009 Miriam O'Reilly successfully sued the BBC for age discrimination after being dropped by the show in a revamp . Ellie previously worked for the Countryfile Discovery Channel in America and has spoken about the problem of being viewed first for her looks and regarded as a 'blonde, fluffy thing.' Her long blonde hair has attracted much debate among viewers of Countryfile and the presenter previously admitted her tresses get much attention. She added: 'I get asked a lot about my hair. It's a subject that always seems to come up.' Ellie has previously spoken about her looks being a barrier to her career, with people presuming because she is attractive she will not be able to do her job properly. The journalist said: 'It can get in the way of people thinking you're credible, so

You would be forgiven for thinking that the sun looked like a giant yolk after an amateur astronomer captured what looks like a chick sitting on its surface. The strange formation was photographed by amateur astronomer Gordon Ewen, and is a sun spot. The phenomenon is fairly common and the number of spots on the solar surface reflects with how active the sun is. They occur when a concentration of magnetic fields causes the surface temperature to reduce, making a specific section of the sun stand out from its surroundings. The sun's having a yolk! Sun spots range hugely in size, from just 10 miles (16km) to 100,000 miles (160,000km) wide - big enough to be seen from Earth without a telescope. Each one can be more than ten times the size of our planet . Gordon Ewen captured the festive photograph using a telescope at the bottom of his garden. Mr Ewen, 57, set up the observatory shed at the bottom of the garden in Letchworth, Hertfordshire, after he left his job five years ago. 'I've been interested in astronomy since I was a child. I remember I used to love borrowing books about space from the library and I had telescope when I was 10,' he said. 'But It all took a backseat when I went to university to study chemistry though.' The photograph of the chick-like sun spot was taken on March 10 at midday. The large telescope focuses on a specific wavelength of light and allows him to see the details created on the sun's surface as hydrogen gas surfaces and swirls. Sun spots range in size, from just 10 miles (16km) to 100,000 miles (160,000km) wide - big enough to be seen from Earth without a telescope, and more than ten times the size of our planet. Sunspots have a temperature of anywhere from 2,700 to 4,200°C (4,890 to 7,590°F), compared to 5,500°C (9,930°F) for the surrounding solar material, which is why they are so visible. Sunspots are also sometimes the source of eruptions on the sun, namely solar flares .

Louis van Gaal wants Danny Ings to form a central part of his Manchester United rebuilding this summer. High-placed sources at Old Trafford have confirmed their interest in a player who is also being strongly pursued by fierce rivals Liverpool. The futures of Robin Van Persie and Radamel Falcao are uncertain and Van Gaal has put the 22-year-old Englishman on his list of targets. Danny Ings (right) is a top target for Manchester United and could be set for a summer move to Old Trafford . United have held talks with Burnley and through a loophole in Premier League regulations are able to agree a fee and pre-contract with the player to ensure a transfer in the summer. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers tried to sign the striker in January, but Burnley were intent on keeping him until the end of the campaign. Ings is out of contract in the summer but, due to his age, Burnley would be owed a fee set by a tribunal of around £5million if he joined an English club. However, under Premier League Rule U8 domestic clubs are able to agree terms with the club and player who would then move when their contract expires. Louis van Gaal is a fan of Ings and was impressed with the forwards performance against his side . Ings has become one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe. If United are successful they would beat former manager David Moyes, who is keen to bring the 22-year-old to Real Sociedad, to the signing. Tottenham and Manchester City are also interested. Ings has scored nine goals so far in his first season in the Premier League and United consider him to be a future England international. Van Gaal was particularly impressed by Ings’ performance against United at Old Trafford in February when he scored in Burnley’s 3-1 defeat. Van Persie, 31, has struggled with injuries this season and the loan of Falcao, 29, from Monaco has produced only four goals. United are also interested in signing PSV forward Memphis Depay, Southampton right back Nathaniel Clyne and Dortmund centre back Mats Hummels. Radamel Falcao (left) and Robin van Persie's United careers look over with both likely to move on . Van Gaal is a fan of PSV forward Memphis Depay, who was part of his Holland World Cup squad . Mats Hummels (second left) has long been target for United and may finally join in the summer .
