Presidents, kings and dukes will gather in Los Angeles this weekend to represent their great nations, but you've probably never heard of them. The leaders of places with names like Molossia, Westarctica, Vikesland and Broslavia are coming together at the Anaheim Central Library for MicroCon 2015, which has been dubbed the first North American gathering of micronations. These self-proclaimed countries print their own stamps, wave their own flags and mint their own money. Many have also created sashes and pendants for their royalty. But most of their citizens have a population of less than 10. Many don't even live on the land at all. Scroll down for video . Molossia, population five, is just one of the small, self-proclaimed micronations that will be represented at MicroCon 2015 in Los Angeles this weekend . MicroCon 2015 was organized by Kevin Baugh, who is the President of the Republic of Molossia. Molossia can be found in Reno, Nevada. At 1.3 acres, the country is the size of a football field. Only Baugh and his wife and children live in Molossia, although it has 27 citizens, as well as its own passports, railroad, phone system, bank, post office and general store. Baugh himself will give you a personal tour of the country, as long as you call ahead. Travis McHenry, the Grand Duke of Westarctica, posing in his uniform. McHenry will be giving a talk at MicroCon 2015 called 'Micronations that matter', to encourage more micronations to become nonprofits . 'When you come to visit you see as much as possible a functioning nation,' said Baugh. But Baugh knows there are some things he won't be able change, even if he is the president of his own great nation. 'Can I lower the drinking age? Well no, I can't,' he said. 'Come on, let's get real.' 'We all want to think we have our own country, but you know the U.S. is a lot bigger.' The Grand Duchy of Broslavia has realized the same limitations, but with its military. Founded in Albuquerque by Grand Duke Jacob Felts, whose name inspired the nation's capital of Feltasia, Broslavia has only five citizens - but its own volunteer military. But instead of guns, the military is armed with cardboard copies of AK-47s. They fire rubber bands. Broslavia claims to have recently expanded its territory by annexing planet Pluto. Travis McHenry, the grand duke of Westartica, will also be in attendance at MicroCon 2015. Westarctica is a much larger nation than Molossia, with more than 620,000 square miles in Antarctica to its name. None of the nation's 300 citizens live on the frozen land. No one does. McHenry, also a recruiting coordinator in a Los Angeles media company, said he was 'really inspired' when he found out there was a piece of Antarctica that had never been claimed. But Westarctica is not just an empty country. It's also a nonprofit, advocating for the protection of native penguins and researching how climate change is impacting Antarctica's ice sheet. McHenry will give a talk at MicroCon 2015 called 'Micronations that matter,'

Summary: MicroCon 2015 is the first North American gathering of micronations . Places like Molossia, Westarctica and Vikesland will be in attendance . One country is the size of a football field, another is as large as Alaska . They print their own stamps, wave their own flags, and mint their own money . But most of their citizens don't actually live on the land .


Roberto Martinez is backing Ross Barkley to become an even more influential player for Everton and England after negotiating second-season syndrome at Goodison Park. Barkley has had an indifferent campaign for the Toffees on the back of his inclusion in last summer’s England World Cup party and a knee operation which disrupted his return to domestic duty. But England coach Roy Hodgson has kept faith with the 21-year-old and Martinez believes his two substitute appearances for England against Lithuania and Italy over the past week have shown that the midfielder is ready to kick on again. Roberto Martinez is backing Ross Barkley to become an even more influential player for Everton and England . Barkley impressed after coming off the substitutes bench during England's 1-1 draw in Turin . Martinez said: 'Ross is a young man but he is used to having to deal with extremes. When he plays well he is probably the best footballer England has. When he has a bad game it’s the end of the world. 'He has achieved an incredible level of maturity this season. 'He had to go through a period of difficulty the same way we have as a team and I think he has learned a lot. 'It doesn’t surprise me, he has had a big impact when he came on in both games with England. He was ready to do that. Barkley replaced Theo Walcott in the second half and looked bright as the Three Lions earned a draw . The 21-year-old celebrates after scoring for Everton during their 3-0 victory against Newcastle . 'He will benefit from the experiences of this difficult season. This is his second full season in an important role in the squad. He enjoys that responsibility and taking responsibility in big games. 'He has an incredible technical ability and, with the physicality he has, you don’t see many players in world football with those capabilities. 'We know who Ross is and how important he is for the future of Everton.” Everton’s struggles this season have seen them flirt with relegation and although wins over Newcastle and QPR have eased their plight, Martinez insists guaranteeing safety is still their only immediate target going into Saturday’s visit of sixth-placed Southampton. Martinez insists guaranteeing safety is still Everton's only immediate target ahead of Saturday's match . The Everton boss added: 'There’s no distraction from our league position. That’s everything that matters. 'Those two wins have given us a real sense of confidence and belief for what’s in front of us. 'Forty points is still the target. Nothing has changed until we achieve that and then we will try and get as high up the table as we can.' Top scorer Romelu Lukaku will face a fitness test on the hamstring injury that kept him out of Belgium’s internationals but midfielder Darron Gibson is expected to be fit to face the Saints. Wingers Kevin Mirallas and Steven Pienaar have also recovered from injury and could be included. Top scorer Romelu Lukaku (centre) will face a fitness test on his hamstring injury .

A Wall Street banker raped an Irish student in a 'disgusting, violent attack' because he was determined to have sex on his birthday, a court heard on Wednesday. Jason Lee forced himself on the 20-year-old in a bathroom and told her to 'shut the f*** up' so her friends in the next room would not hear. The assault ended when the girl kneed him in the groin and staggered out in such a ‘hysterical’ state she was unable to talk. Lee tried to downplay the incident and said it was 'no big deal' and dismissively told the first police officer on the scene: 'We're good, you can go', the court heard. Lee walked hand in hand with his wife Alicia into New York Suffolk County Court on Wednesday . Former Goldman Sachs managing director Jason Lee, 38, faces charges of allegedly raping a 20-year-old Irish woman in the Hamptons in August 2013 . The rape allegedly happened when Lee, 38, invited the victim and her friends to party at his rented $33,000-a-month mansion in the Hamptons on Long Island, New York during the summer of 2013. On the first day of the trial, Kerriann Kelly, the Chief of the Major Crime Bureau at Suffolk District Attorney's office, said that Lee and his victim were 'from such different worlds that they might have been from different planets'. She had spent the summer in New York on a J-1 student work visa and was staying with her brother for a night out before flying home to Ireland. Lee was a high flying executive at Goldman Sachs who lives in Manhattan, but Miss Kelly said: 'What you see is not always what you get'. She told the court: 'What you see in the court room this morning is a defendant dressed in a very professional suit, his hair is nicely combed. he is copiously taking notes as I speak. 'That's not the same individual the victim encountered in the early morning of August 20 2013. Not even close. 'What she encountered was a man who wanted one thing and one thing only, and that thing was sex. He used her to get it.' Lee has pleaded not guilty to first-degree rape, sexual misconduct and third-degree assault charges. He could face 25 years in jail if convicted. On Wednesday he walked into Suffolk District Court wearing a dark suit hand in hand with his wife Alicia, who sat in the public gallery. The court was told that Lee and his friend Rene Duncan met the victim and her friends at the trendy Georgica restaurant and lounge in Wainscott on August, 19 2013. The two men were there celebrating Lee's 37th birthday and they invited the Irish group back to his mansion a short distance away. Miss Kelly said that they were having a good time partying the night away, drinking wine and eating pizza they found in the freezer. The victim and her female friend stripped down to their underwear and got in the pool but Lee got completely naked and jumped in after them. Afterwards,

A doctor usually deployed to major disaster zones was sent in to a hospital's under-pressure A&E department as staff were forced to treat patients in the corridor, it has emerged. The medical incident officer joined the team caring for patients at Worcestershire Royal Hospital last Friday. It came as the West Midlands Ambulance Service demanded action following delays in treatment. The Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust admitted circumstances were 'less than ideal'. A medical incident doctor, usually deployed to major disaster zones, was sent to help staff at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital's under-pressure A&E department, it has emerged . It came as the weekly national figures from NHS England showed it has missed the four-hour waiting time target for the 28th consecutive week, despite a slight improvement. The proportion of patients seen within the Government maximum of four hours at A&E departments in England is below the target of 95 per cent again - they have not been met since September 28. NHS England said 92.5 per cent of patients spent four hours or less from arrival to admission, transfer or discharge in the week ending April 12. This was a slight improvement on the previous week, when it was 92.4 per cent. The figures include data from last Friday, April 10, where the MIO was sent in to help at Worcestershire Royal Hospital after months of problems. A Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust spokesman apologised for last Friday's incident, and said it was 'working very hard' to prevent it from happening again. An A&E consultant at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital was one of five senior doctors who resigned from their jobs amid the crisis affecting emergency departments at two hospitals. In February four consultants from the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch quit their roles, on the same day as their colleague at the Worcestershire Royal. It left Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust with the task of filling five vacancies in a matter of months as the doctors work their notice periods. In a damning open letter to the trust, four of the consultants branded the NHS trust a 'disgrace' and claimed they had been put under 'unbearable stress'. The 1,700 word letter, signed by Richard Morrell, Sarah Crawford, Christopher Hetherington and David Gemmell, said: 'The trust appears to tolerate massive overcrowding in the county's A&E departments. 'This is a disgrace and a patient safety issue which causes serious harm to many patients and intolerable stress on all A&E staff. 'The situation has taken a heavy toll on our personal and family lives - the stress has been unbearable at times. 'We are battle-weary and exhausted by the continuous pressure that we have been under.' The trust spokesman said: 'We can confirm that on Friday April 10, West Midlands Ambulance paramedics were asked to look after a number of patients in the corridor before they could be transferred in to the care of the A&E staff. 'While the A&E department were unable to allow the ambulance staff to hand over the patients, the A&E staff were aware of their conditions and we wish

A good Samaritan was given a parking ticket after he pulled over to help an elderly woman he thought was dying. Student Drew Hollinshead, 21, stopped in the first space available when he saw the pensioner collapse on the pavement. But as he helped her for less than a minute, a traffic warden put a £70 ticket on his car – because Mr Hollinshead had pulled into a bay for disabled drivers. 'It's ridiculous': When he was slapped with the ticket on his windscreen Mr Hollinshead initially tore it up and threw it in the bin before later going back to pick it up . Yesterday Mr Hollinshead said the way he had been treated was ridiculous and said the council warden could see what was happening. He was driving through Bournemouth when he saw the woman fall to the pavement. He parked and rushed over to help. After discovering she was all right and helping her to her feet, he returned to the car only to find the warden printing the ticket. ‘I stopped in the disabled bay as it was the nearest place to where the old lady was,’ he said. Angry: Mr Hollinshead, who is studying marketing and advertising at Bournemouth University, said he was punished for trying to do something good . ‘There was a space for about four cars and it was completely empty, so it wasn’t like somebody was waiting to use it. Under the circumstances, I think it was ridiculous. I saw her fall down and stopped for around 30 to 45 seconds at the most to help her. ‘I went back to my car and there was a parking officer who was giving me a ticket. He must have seen what I was doing and that I was helping the old lady. 'I asked him why and he said, “It gives me no great satisfaction to give you this ticket”. Any normal person would have turned a blind eye when they saw why I had stopped.’ The undergraduate, who is in his final year of an arts and marketing degree at Bournemouth University, took a photo of the smirking traffic warden during the incident on April 9 and posted it on Twitter. Where it happened: The student was driving along Wimborne Road, Bournemouth, when he saw a pensioner lying on the pavement in nearby Wycliffe Road (circled). He pulled into the disabled bay shown above . Good Samaritan: Drew Hollinshead, 21, was given a parking fine after stopping to help an elderly woman . He at first tore up the ticket and threw it in a bin but later retrieved it. ‘It’s not the cost, it’s the principle,’ he said. ‘I tried to do something good and then something bad happened because of it.’ He was supported by other social media users. One, ShuttleX, said: ‘I’m sorry you got a ticket Drew (make sure you appeal against it) but well done for helping the lady who fell over. 'This doesn’t surprise me. Parking Services are well known for slapping out tickets in circumstances where

Summary: Drew Hollinshead, 21, stopped as he thought an elderly woman was dying . He pulled over in a space reserved for disabled people and ran to help her . But as he tended to pensioner a warden slapped a ticket on his windscreen . Bournemouth Council say appeals procedure is available to Mr Hollinshead .

Two Delaware boys are in a coma and their father remains unable to move or talk two weeks after the family became sick from possible pesticide exposure during a vacation on the US Virgin Islands, officials say. Steve Esmond and his wife, Dr Theresa Devine, and their two teenage sons fell seriously ill during their stay at the Sirenusa Condominium Resort on the island of St. John. The family were airlifted to separate hospitals in Philadelphia suffering major respiratory trauma. Sean, 16, and Ryan, 14, were in critical condition. Steve Esmond and his wife, Dr Theresa Devine, and their two teenage sons fell seriously ill during their stay at the Sirenusa Condominium Resort on the island of St. John . James Maron, the family's lawyer, said the boys were in 'rough shape'. 'The family are all fighters,' he told WPBF News. 'They're fighting for everything right now. I understand it's a long recovery.' Maron said Esmond, who is an administrator of the private Tatnall School in Wilmington, is conscious but unable to move. Devine, a dentist, was treated and released from the hospital and is currently in occupational therapy. The Tatnall school, where Sean was a star lacrosse player, posted on their Facebook page that they had the Middle School students write get wall cards for Esmond and his family. 'The entire Tatnall community continues to direct its supportive energy toward the Esmonds and asks that everyone keep the family in their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.' Tuition at the Tatnall school can range from $20,000 to $25,000 a year. Sean, 16, (pictured) and his 14-year-old brother Ryan remain in comas two weeks after being hospitalized . On Friday a spokesman from the US Environmental Protection agency said that the family may have fallen ill because of the presence of a pesticide at the rented villa. Elias Rodriguez said preliminary tests showed there was 'a presence of methyl bromide in the unit where the family was staying'. Methyl Bromide, which is odorless, can be fatal or cause serious damage to the central nervous system and respiratory system, according to the EPA. It is acutely toxic, and only permitted to be used outdoors by certified professionals in the US. Rodriguez said the investigation is 'ongoing' and the agency is still on the island for testing. The family was staying at the $875-a-night Sirenusa Condominium Resort on St. John in the US Virgin Islands . 'We have been doing different types of air sampling and wipe sampling,' he said. Sea Glass Vacations, which acts as a rental agent for several units at Sirenusa Condominium Resort, said the unit where the family was staying was not treated with a pesticide, but rather the unit immediately below their suite. Maron said when paramedics arrived at the villa Esmond was found unconscious. His sons and wife were having seizures. The US Department of Justice has initiated a criminal investigation into the matter . On Friday the US Environmental Protection agency said preliminary tests showed there was 'a presence of methyl bromide in the unit where

Greece's Football Federation (EPO) could be suspended from international competition over government interference should a proposed new law be voted in, FIFA and UEFA have warned. Following continuous problems with crowd trouble, the Greek government has put together a new set of regulations in an attempt to crack down on violence at sports events. FIFA and UEFA have strict rules aimed at protecting member federations' independence in running their own affairs and sent a joint letter to EPO president Giorgos Girtzikis warning that it 'would have no option but to refer the case to the relevant bodies for immediate sanctions, including the suspension of the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO).' The Greek government wants to stamp out incidents such as this in a March AEK Athens-Olympiakos match . A new set of regulations to try and crack down on violence at sports events is opposed by FIFA and UEFA . The bill, entitled 'Measures for the confrontation of violence in Greek sports and other provisions', will be initially reviewed by the Cultural Affairs Committee from April 27-30 and then discussed in parliament on May 4-5. Stavros Kontonis, Deputy Minister for Education, Culture and Religious Affairs, criticised FIFA and UEFA in a strongly worded media statement, accusing both governing bodies of showing little interest in helping solve the issues of violence which have caused matches in Greece to be suspended three times just this season. 'It appears that they are not interested in solving the evils plaguing Greek football, but are instead seeking ways to offend the Greek constitutional order and the Greek people, especially the country's football fans, which have to put up with the current scene of rot and corruption, something which the government is trying to overturn,' Kontonis said. Football's governing bodies have strict rules aimed at protecting member federations' independence . Kontonis has invited FIFA and UEFA to Athens ahead of the planned three-day discussion of the bill. 'We hope that both federations understand the serious, accumulating problems of Greek football and that they will engage constructively and actively in the process of consolidation, democratisation and transparency,' he added.

With a possible 11 games left to their season Barcelona’s front three of Leo Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar are just seven goals short of clocking up a century in their first season together. The three amigos will match the total scored by Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto’o and Messi in 2009 if they reach 100 goals and they will inevitably fuel the debate that they are fast becoming the greatest front three in Barcelona’s history. Henry scored 26, Eto’o 36 and Messi 38 goals in the 2008-09 season. In this campaign Messi has 46, Neymar 28 and Suarez 19 despite missing the first three months through suspension. Scroll down for video . Lionel Messi, Neymar Jnr and Luis Suarez are seven goals short of reaching 100 for the season . Messi rounds Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves to score during Barcelona's 2-0 win on Saturday . Suarez celebrates with Neymar and Messi after netting the opener against Valencia in the La Liga clash . Gareth Bale with 17, Cristiano Ronaldo with 50, and Karim Benzema 22, have 86 between them for Real Madrid but the question is no longer can Messi, Suarez and Neymar out-do their La Liga rivals, rather can they out-do the greatest forward lines in Barcelona’s history? The Henry/Eto’o/Messi forward line won the 2009 European Cup and was followed two years later – after the failed attempt to bring Zlatan Ibrahimovic into the mix in 2010 – by the Messi/David Villa/Pedro strike force that also won a European Cup against Manchester United in 2011. They scored 98 goals in the 2010-11 season with Messi getting 53, Villa 23 and Pedro 21. Both attacks had a tendency to come good in the Clasicos with the Henry/Eto’o/Messi strikeforce playing in one of the most famous Real Madrid-Barcelona games of all time in 2009 with Barca winning 6-2 at the Bernabeu and Henry and Messi both scored twice. Messi celebrates with Thierry Henry after Barcelona won the Champions League in 2009 . The Argentine congratulates team-mate Samuel Eto'o after he scores in the Champions League final in 2009 . The current combination lacks the European Cup the other two have and a big win over Real Madrid but there is still time for them to combine the two with a Clasico final still a possibility. When they first came together at the start of the season there was the fear among Barcelona supporters that the team would not be big enough for the three of them. Barça legend Johan Cruyff had already warned a year early that ‘a ship cannot have two captains’ and that Neymar and Messi would not get on. When Suarez was introduced that was, for some, another reason to believe Luis Enrique would have problems. But nothing could have been further from the truth. Suarez has had his fair share of highly controversial incidents but has never been a bad influence in the dressing room. In Monday’s training session at Barça’s Sports City he received a playful knee between the legs from Neymar in a light-hearted training session ahead

While every aspiring actor dreams of Hollywood stardom, an A-list career doesn't always show up. For actors hovering somewhere between the big time and the dole queue, there is the comforting world of the British soap opera, where stars are guaranteed regular work and a spot in the nation's living room three times a week. If long-running series such as EastEnders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale have been a launchpad for many an acting career, it's also provided a safe haven for those looking to side-step from a different career or reinvigorate their public profile. Scroll down for video . Gracing the cobbles: After first achieving fame with Girls Aloud, Sarah Harding has turned her hand to acting, signing up to appear in four episodes of Coronation Street .

At the other end of the soap map, Denise Van Outen will soon be seen charging through Albert Square; the actress is to play Max Branning's new love interest, Carin Smart, in the long-running series. Mum-of-one Denise admitted that she'd previously turned down offers from the soap, firstly because of other work commitments and then because she was a new mum and didn't want the often gruelling schedule that comes with a soap contract. Sarah and Denise aren't the only names to sign on the dotted line for soaps at an interesting stage in their careers. Two days ago, celebrated stage actress and 70s child star Bonnie Langford announced that she will also take a new role in EastEnders, playing the role of Carmel Kazemi. We know lots about the stars who've carved out successful careers after leaving soap operas; Kylie, Anna Friel, Guy Pearce, Sarah Lancashire, Joanna Lumley and even Jude Law... but there's also a growing list of faces who you might not have expected to see mucking out the stables in Emmerdale or pulling a pint behind the Queen Vic.

The night that Ryan Poston was shot dead by his on-again, off-again girlfriend he was supposed to meet a former Miss Ohio 2012 beauty queen for a date, an Ohio court heard on Thursday. Audrey Bolte, who also finished runner-up in Miss USA, told prosecutors she was looking forward to seeing Poston, 29, at a bar to play pool and drink on October 12, 2012, but he failed to arrive. That was because Shayna Hubers had shot him six times at home - during which she allegedly 'cackled' with glee claimed a cellmate of the accused, who claims the 24-year-old confessed to her while behind bars. Scroll down for video . Testimonny: Audrey Bolte told the Ohio court she was expecting to see Mr. Poston but he failed to arrive for their date . Date: Audrey Bolte (pictured left at the Miss USA pageant in 2012 and right as winner of Miss Ohio 2012) in was supposed to meet Ryan Poston on the night he was shot by his girlfriend . 'I found him very entertaining, and that led me to accept an invite to go on a date with him,' Bolte testified. Prosecutors allege that Hubers shot Poston because she was furious he was trying to break up with her. Hubers, who was 21 at the time, denies murdering her lawyer boyfriend and claims she shot him in self-defense. Her trial began on Monday and during that time, Hubers has been held at the Campbell County jail in Newport. Her romer cellmate testified to the court that Hubers joked about the shooting and said she was going to get off all charges. 'Did she ever laugh?' Commonwealth's Attorney Michelle Snodgrass asked Cecily Miller according to Cincinnati.com. 'Oh, yes.' 'About what?' 'About shooting him in the face and giving him the nose job he always wanted,' said Miller. 'That's what bothered me – she cackled.' Trial: Shayna Hubers attends her murder trail in Campbell, Ohio. Hubers is charged with murder in the shooting death of her boyfriend, Ryan Poston . Gallows humor: Jurors were shown a videotaped police interview with Hubers, in which the woman, then 21, said Poston was 'vain' and she gave him the 'nose job he wanted' by shooting him in the face . Miller said that Hubers realized she was too intelligent to plead insanity, 'So she was going to plead battered wife syndrome.' Lisa and Peter Carter, who raised Poston said that their son was concerned about ending things with Hubers. He said to me, 'My biggest issue is … Shayna is always around,'' said Peter Carter, according to Cincinnati.com. 'He said, 'I don't know what to do to get her to leave.'' 'I told him to make sure that he was kind to Shayna and to be honest with her about what was going on,' he said. 'I told him to be direct, but to be kind.' However, Carter said he never got to find out the answer because Poston died the next night. Also on the stand was Vernon West, who lived in the condo

An aspiring model who set a honey trap to lure a professional gambler to his 'pitiless and wicked' death in a bid to steal his winnings has been jailed for 16 years. Leonie Granger, 25, targeted playboy Mehmet Hassan, 56, after spotting him flashing a roll of £50 notes at a casino in London's West End. The care assistant, from Gillingham, Kent, used her good looks to befriend the poker player, who showered her with gifts, cash and trips to fancy restaurants. Scroll down for video . Aspiring model Leonie Granger (left) has been jailed for 16 years at the Old Bailey after being found guilty of manslaughter over the death of professional gambler Mehmet Hassan (right) who she lured at a casino . Granger (pictured with Mr Hassan at Palm Beach Casino in central London) took advantage of him being a 'soft target', the court heard. Judge William Kennedy today described the attack as 'pitiless and wicked' But after going back to his flat with him one night she made her excuses and left the door unlocked so her boyfriend and an accomplice could get inside. They tied up the father of three and kicked him to death as they ransacked his home to find his hidden winnings. Afterwards, they left him with multiple broken bones, lying face down in his bedroom drowning in his own blood. Following a trial at the Old Bailey, Granger was found guilty of Mr Hassan's manslaughter by a majority - but not guilty of murder. She was sentenced to 16 years behind bars for the killing by Judge William Kennedy today. Co-defendants Kyrron Jackson, 28, and Nicholas Chandler, 29, were found guilty of murder and were jailed for life with a minimum term of 36 years. Sentencing, Judge William Kennedy described the attack as 'pitiless and wicked', adding: 'It was quite simply an act of brutality which defies reason and compassion.' In mitigation, Orlando Pownall QC said Granger had worked with the elderly since she was 18 and had only got involved with the plot because she was in love with Jackson and 'fell in with his desires'. Mr Pownall said she now 'deeply regretted' what had happened, adding: 'Her head was turned by Mr Jackson who she loved and to some extent by Mr Chandler who was persuasive and superficially charming.' But jailing her, the judge said she had been 'deceitful from the outset' and had 'lost her sense and compassion' when she got involved in the scheme. He added that she clearly cared more for Jackson than he cared for her. Granger, from Gillingham, Kent, used her good looks to befriend the poker player, who showered her with gifts, cash and trips to fancy restaurants. She wept in the dock as she was convicted of manslaughter . Granger and Mr Hassan are pictured on CCTV going in to the Palm Beach Casino in central London together .

Set side by side it’s hard to believe they’re the same person. One with his shy smile, steady gaze and dark hair. The other, five decades on, pouting beneath razor sharp cheek bones, sunken eyes and platinum blond hair. These exclusive pictures obtained by Daily Mail Online show dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon to the stars, Dr Fredric Brandt, the year he graduated from Frank H Morrell High, Irvington, New Jersey. They were taken at the age of 18, when he was, in his own words, just ‘a Jewish kid from Newark,’ and before he had transformed himself, in every sense, into the figure lampooned on Netflix show ‘Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,’ with such devastating consequences.

Changes: Five decades after his high school photo with his shy smile, steady gaze and dark hair, Dr. Brandt was pouting beneath razor sharp cheek bones, sunken eyes and platinum blond hair . It is two days since the famed 65-year-old doctor was found hanged in his Miami home. The City of Miami Police confirmed the suicide after Daily Mail Online broke the news earlier, and, according to those closest to Brandt, the doctor – who had been suffering from depression – had been left ‘devastated’ by recent rumors comparing him to the grotesque character of Dr Franff in Tina Fey’s Netflix show. Now, seen here for the first time, Dr Brandt’s High School photos provide a glimpse into his life before fame, fortune and fillers. The pictures, taken in 1967, show a hint of the smile that, according to the school’s yearbook earned him a reputation for his ‘infectious grin’ and saw him characterized by his sense of humor. Known as ‘Fred’ he was a popular and ‘scholarly’ student with, it was noted, the promise of a ‘medical career ahead.’ Born Frederic Sheldon Brandt in 1949, he was prolific in his High School achievements, posing in one photo alongside other award-winning students. Among his many accolades listed are Assistant Editor of High School magazine the Morellian, President of the Spanish Club, Vice President of the Debate Club, Vice President of the Political Science Club and a place on the National Honors Society. He was also an enthusiastic member of the Theatre Arts Society and Tennis team. He was also voted Most Ambitious and Most Talkative student. But, for all that, in one of his last interviews, given to the New York Times in March 2014, he recalled feeling very much that he was ‘more of a different child,’ as he grew up in the Weequahic section of Newark, New Jersey. He said: ‘I remember taking things apart as a kid, radios

Two GOP presidential hopefuls - Ted Cruz and Ben Carson - want the Clinton Foundation to return every dollar its received from foreign governments since it launched more than a decade ago. The bum rush on the non-profit came about after a report cast a new shadow over the charity's fundraising practices while Hillary Clinton served as the United State's chief diplomat. A Reuters investigation that revealed the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation had misreported millions of dollars in donations from foreign nations led the global charity to announce that it would refile more than five years of tax documents. Scroll down for video . A Reuters investigation that revealed the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation had misreported millions of dollars in donations from foreign nations led the global charity to announce that it would refile more than five years of tax documents - Republicans pounced . The discovery came as separate financial reviews found that previously unreported foreign businesses either donated money directly to the family foundation or paid Bill to speak while their countries were doing official business with the State Department during Hillary's tenure. In one instance, Bill Clinton received one of his biggest paychecks in $500,000 for a June 2010 speech in Moscow funded by an investment bank with ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Clinton Foundation was barred by an agreement from accepting money from foreign governments it wasn't already in business while Mrs. Clinton was in President Barack Obama's cabinet. But that didn't stop it from doing so anyway. It fessed up in February to accepting a $500,000 donation from Algeria in 2010 without telling the State Department. And the agreement is not known to have put restraints on Mr. Clinton's ability to collect paychecks from foreign actors. Taking aim at Hillary Clinton, Cruz said in a Wednesday evening Facebook, 'Having raised tens of millions of dollars from foreign nations presents a clear conflict of interest for anyone running for President of the United States.' 'Add your name if you agree Hillary Clinton should return all money raised from foreign nations!' the Texas senator added, soliciting names for a petition urging the non-profit to give back the funds. Carson told Daily Mail Online today that he, too, believes the charity cough up the cash. 'It is my strong belief that not only should they definitely give back the money and cease accepting foreign donations, but should also make every effort to find missing documents that would shed light if in fact they are innocent,' he said..

Stephens (center) was shot by Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Deputy Adam Lin and is now paralyzed . Deputy Lin fired his gun four times at Stephens even though the then-20-year-old had a cellphone, not a gun . In the video obtained by WPTV, Stephens can be seen pulling his bike over next to a house after he realized he was being followed. Stephens has a record for possessing cocaine .

The clip of Stephens, who had previously been arrested for cocaine, was released as part of a lawsuit against the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. The office has been involved in 114 shootings since 2000. Lin's internal affairs file contains 'numerous use of force reports, citizen complaints and incident reviews', according to the lawsuit. He started working for the PBSO in 2004 and served for ten months in Afghanistan beginning in 2007. The attorney who filed suit on Stephens' behalf, Jack Scarola, said there were issues with the statements given by Lin and the other deputy involved in the shooting. Scarola said: 'There are no records of any commands ever made to Dontrell Stephens. 'The deputy's recorded statements following the shooting were absolutely false. Internal affairs completely ignored that evidence.' Video of the shooting was released as part of a lawsuit filed against the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office .

Chelsea took a giant step towards the Premier League title with a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Manchester United. Eden Hazard's sublime strike in the 38th minute proved crucial as Jose Mourinho's side extended their lead at the top of the standings. Here, Sportsmail's Oliver Todd rates the players' performances at Stamford Bridge. Branislav Ivanovic had a tough afternoon marking Marouane Fellaini (left) but he did well in the air throughout . CHELSEA (4-2-3-1) THIBAUT COURTOIS 6 - While United dominated, not much to do. Almost slipped up when he dropped a difficult cross. BRANISLAV IVANOVIC 6- Tough afternoon trying to get close to Fellaini but did well every time the ball came into the box in the air. Booked. GARY CAHILL 6.5 - Vital block from Falcao at close range. Almost ruined the whole effort with late tackle on Herrera that could have been a penalty. JOHN TERRY 7 - Strong up against Falcao and gave the striker no room to manoeuvre. Marshalled a backline that held its nerve. Cesc Fabregas (right) had a quiet afternoon for Jose Mourinho's side . CESAR AZPILICUETA 6 - Little to do down the left as United focused on the other flank, almost set up Hazard for a second. KURT ZOUMA 5.5 - Outplayed in midfield as United took early initiative and couldn’t get into the game. Mourinho will say he did his job. NEMANJA MATIC 7 - Back at his commanding best in second half after poor opening period. Coped well against Fellaini. OSCAR 8 - Brilliant back-heeled assist for the goal. Struggled from the start but grew into the game and proved decisive at both ends. Booked. Oscar puts in a strong tackle on United defender Paddy McNair during the first-half .

MANAGER: JOSE MOURINHO 7 - It wasn’t pretty but he found a way to stop United, a task which many others have tried and failed with in recent weeks. Unused subs: Cech, Luis, Cuadrado, Solanke. De Gea did not have the busiest day in London but could have been sent off for handling outside the box . MANCHESTER UNITED (4-3-3) DAVID DE GEA 6.5 - Little to do as Chelsea were happy to wait for their opportunities. Could have been sent off

Summary: Chelsea sealed a 1-0 victory against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge . Eden Hazard struck in the 38th minute after a storming run into the box . John Terry marshalled the Chelsea defensive line superbly . Wayne Rooney's midfield role blunted his influence . Radamel Falcao struggled to cope with Terry all afternoon .


Sportsmail takes a look at 10 things we learned from the Premier League's Easter weekend fixtures and the race for promotion across the Football League. 1. Playing Jordan Henderson as a wing back instead of in his normal central midfield position was an idea that went spectacularly wrong for Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers. The England star, who has taken over the captain’s armband in the absence of Steven Gerrard, gave the ball away 23 times in 90 minutes as he struggled to handle the role at Arsenal. Jordan Henderson (left) toiled as a wing back in Liverpool's defeat against Arsenal and lost the ball 23 times . Henderson, usually a central midfielder, has not given the ball away as much all season for Liverpool . There hasn’t been a single one of his previous 29 Premier League appearances this season in which he’s lost possession more. 2. John O’Shea has clearly learned the canny defender’s art of letting his brain do all the running. The theory is if you get in the right position in the first place, you don’t have to chase to recover. In 90 minutes of helping Sunderland keep a clean sheet against Newcastle, the Ireland international logged just 11.9 metres at sprint speed on the EA Sports performance data. It clearly works for him – he’ll be 34 at the end of this month but remains the sole Premier League outfield player to have appeared in every minute of every game in all competitions for his club this season. John O'Shea only sprinted 11.9 metres during his impressive display in Sunderland's 1-0 win over Newcastle . O'Shea (third left) celebrated Sunderland's win with Costel Pantilimon when the final whistle was blown . For good measure he’s also completed the full 90 minutes of all five European Championship qualifiers for the Republic. 3. Steven Caulker’s form has suffered from playing with too many different partners at QPR but there are signs the former Spurs and Cardiff centre half is returning to his best. The 23-year-old was a towering figure as a West Brom side led by the powerful figure of substitute Victor Anichebe fought to recover from being three goals down at half-time. Steven Caulker (right) wins a header against West Bromwich Albion striker Brown Ideye . Caulker made 20 clearances – as many as the rest of the Rangers back four put together – and more than any other Premier League defender all weekend. 4. Chelsea need have few fears if Diego Costa’s hamstring problems mean they have to rely on Loic Remy for goals in the last eight games of the season. The France international’s tap-in from Eden Hazard’s pass for the winner against Stoke was his fifth Premier League goal of the season from just 456 minutes on the pitch. Loic Remy (centre) scored Chelsea's winner in their 2-1 victory over Stoke at Stamford Bridge on Saturday . Remy could be vital to Chelsea as they look to win the Premier League title after Diego Costa went off injured . That’s a goal every 91 minutes

Summary: Jordan Henderson struggled being played as a wing back for Liverpool . John O'Shea captained Sunderland to a crucial 1-0 win over Newcastle . Loic Remy got a fifth Premier League goal in only 456 minutes this season .


The broccoli chemical sulforaphane is known to block the inflammation and damage to cartilage associated with arthritis (file picture) An artificial version of a compound in broccoli could hold the key to treating arthritis, say researchers. The broccoli chemical sulforaphane is known to block the inflammation and damage to cartilage associated with the condition. But patients would have to eat several pounds of the vegetable every day to derive any significant benefit. Sulforaphane in its natural form is also too unstable to turn into a medicine. But UK drug company Evgen Pharma has developed a stable synthetic version of the chemical that offers the potential of a pill treatment. A single dose of the drug, known as Sulforadex or SFX-01, is the equivalent of eating 5.5lb of broccoli in one day. In tests on mice affected by osteoarthritis, Sulforadex significantly improved bone architecture, gait balance and movement. Professor Andrew Pitsillides, who co-led the research at the Royal Veterinary College in London, said: ‘These initial results are very positive for such an experiment and we have convinced ourselves that sulforaphane is a promising agent for the treatment of osteoarthritis. ‘The clinical development of sulforaphane has been held back by the fact that it is inherently unstable – SFX-01 is a major advance in this area.’ Professor Pitsillides added: ‘Nearly nine million people in the UK have osteoarthritis and it costs the NHS more than £5 billion every year. But UK drug company Evgen Pharma has developed a stable synthetic version of the chemical that offers the potential of a pill treatment (file picture) 'There is no cure or effective treatment for the disease other than pain relief or joint replacement, so the potential for SFX-01 is massive.’ Broccoli is also believed to reduce the risk of some cancers and cardiovascular disease, and improve symptoms of autism. A University of Pittsburgh study found it could be used to prevent throat cancer. In laboratory tests, extracts from broccoli were shown to give mice protection against oral cancer.

Summary: Sulforaphane known to block inflammation and damage to the cartilage . People would have to eat several pounds daily to derive significant benefit . Drug company Evgen Pharma has developed synthetic version of chemical .


Peter Moores insisted he could work with Michael Vaughan if he becomes England’s new director of cricket despite the pair’s chequered past. ‘Of course I could,’ said Moores in St Kitts on Thursday. ‘It’s not a personal thing. People have views. We’re still going through a transitional spell so to me this is about getting England as strong as we can as quickly as we can. Whoever comes into that job I just want to share views to make sure we have the best way forward. The new man is expected to be a supremo who will be very much with the team but Moores was not sure England needed another voice in the dressing room. Michael Vaughan with Peter Moores in 2008 during his unsuccessful first spell as England coach . Moores' position as England coach has come under scrutiny after a woeful World Cup campaign . ‘I don’t think we do,’ he said. ‘It depends who takes the role and how that remit is set out. As always we will have to make it clear what the players have to do to go out and play for England. It depends how the job is set out. Moores is sad to see the departure of Paul Downton, the man who brought him back to the coaching job and called him the ‘outstanding coach of his generation.’ ‘Paul’s a very passionate Englishman and everything he’s done has been to try to help us do better on the field and perform,’ said Moores. ‘When someone goes you’re always sad about that but my job is to make sure we don’t lose our focus on the Test series coming up. Paul Downton, with whom Moores was close, was sacked as managing director of England cricket . Former England captain Vaughan has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Downton . ‘I don’t think this is about my position, I don’t think it changes much. I’m passionate about cricket, I love the game, and I’ve got a good record as a coach. It’s about the players and I will carry on doing my job here. I see some emerging players I’m very excited about and I’m going to stay committed to them. ‘Tom Harrison passed on the news about what was happening with Paul and that we were going to restructure. He said to me ‘nothing’s changed, keep doing your work’ which is exactly what I’m going to do. ‘I’ve spoken to Paul. He seems fine. He’s given everything to the job and has committed everything to it.’

Summary: Michael Vaughan in the frame to replace Paul Downton . Former England captain has a chequered past with Peter Moores . Moores insists there are no personal issues between he and Vaughan . Downton was sacked as managing director of England cricket .


‘Everybody loves Harry’ exclaimed a disgruntled Ian Wright, at the very thought of anything to the contrary. ‘What you on about?’ Alongside Wrighty, Steve McManaman also defended his honour. ‘He’s been hugging everybody’, laughed Macca. All of this because Jake Humphrey teasingly suggested to Harry Redknapp he was in ‘hostile territory’ as BT Sport brought us the lunchtime game from the Emirates between Arsenal and Liverpool. Not since his aching knees took him away from the touchline have we seen Harry pitch side at a Premier League ground. Well, that break seemed to have done him the power of good as the former Tottenham gaffer chuckled at Jake’s notion. ‘Not easy’, he smiled. ‘But so far so good’. Harry Redknapp joined BT Sport presenter Jake Humphrey for live broadcast of Arsenal vs Liverpool . And it was indeed good to see Redknapp back in the role of pundit at a live game. His joints may be letting him down at the moment, but his wit and football nous seems to have remained undiminished as he joined in with the conversations that surrounded this crucial, and topical game. Coming into the match, Raheem Sterling had almost single-handedly managed to nearly shift the emphasis away from who would get the points to how many pounds he might get. And Harry had a view on both aspects. First he addressed Sterling’s contribution on the pitch, saying Liverpool had ‘got away with it to a point’ in playing him in recent games at wing back. But added that in this one ‘he needs to play that free role’. Redknapp was in fine form as pundit for Saturday's Premier League encounter at the Emirates . While on the young player’s future at the the club, for Harry there was only one position. ‘I think he needs to sign his contract. Get on with his football.’ Wright and Macca were in totally agreement, stating in tandem ‘he does’ when asked if they thought he wanted to play his football at Liverpool? When it came to a discussion on the title race, Harry was once again unswerving in his opinion. And you knew he was making a serious point because he was willing to back it with money against Wright. ‘We’ll have a tenner’, he suggested to the laughing former Arsenal hero. ‘I’ll have Chelsea. You’ve got the Gunners.’ During the first half, a definite winner was commentator Ian Darke who had one of those moments all the men behind the lip mics dream of. ‘Interesting, before the match we saw Mesut Ozil practise exactly this kind of free kick’, he told us as the German stood over the ball. The fact that just a few seconds later the same ball was now nestled in the back of Liverpool’s net allowed Darke a well earned denouement. ‘It’s Ozil. And it’s in. Practise makes perfect’. Ian Wrighty and Steve McManaman were quick to defend former Tottenham boss Redknapp . The presentation team were now in the studio at the break. Harry giving them knees a rest in the comfy chairs.

Summary: Harry Redknapp made his pitchside return at Arsenal vs Liverpool . Former Tottenham boss was a pundit for live broadcast on BT Sport .


It is one of the most dangerous sports in the world and one in every 15 bull rides ends in an injury of some sort. But that isn't enough to stop hundreds of child riders, some as young as seven, from taking the hot seat each year. Among them is Lance Lara, 10, from Fort Worth in Texas, who has proved so successful that he was crowned world champion in his age group last year. Bouncing around: A young bull rider takes on a bullock (steer) at a rodeo in Fort Worth, Texas . But each time he gets on a bullock, a castrated male, he risks life and limb, and has already been trampled on several times. That, however, is not enough to stop his father TJ, himself a former bull rider, from entering Lance, his older brother Joe, 15, and his sister Jayden, seven, into competitions all over the US. 'It’s about taking chances and these kids, that’s what they’re doing,' he explains in an interview with Channel 4's Unreported World. 'They’re taking chances and as parents we’re taking a chance. This is a very dangerous sport and you can’t take it kiddish and [be] playing around because that’s when you can get hurt.' Bull riding is a multi-billion dollar industry in the US and events staged by the PBR, the professional bull riders' association, are watched by up to half a billion people around the world each year. Ouch! Most bull riders are speedily thrown off - a good result is eight seconds . Hitting the deck: An estimated one in 15 bull rides across all age groups ends in injury of some sort . Starting small: The youngest children hone their skills on sheep before graduating to calves . But as the stakes get higher, pressure to breed bulls that are more athletic, more vicious and bigger than ever before has increased - including in the junior division. For Cody Custer, a former bull riding world champion, it is becoming too dangerous. 'You take a young teenage boy and put him on a bull that’s got a massive pedigree,' he explains. 'It would be kind of like putting a young 13, 14 year old footballer against an NFL player. It’s just not even.' Another young bull-rider, 16-year-old Trey, who has been knocked out several times by oversized bulls, agrees. 'The breeding system nowadays is getting so intense and so hard-core, it’s not even realistic. 'The more stuff they breed and the more stuff they do, it’s making bucking harder and harder. It’s crazy.' That, however, isn't enough to quell the Lara family's enthusiasm. All three children started when they were barely more than toddlers, honing their skills on sheep in a sport known colloquially as 'mutton throwing'. Not happy: Even the calves, such as the one pictured, can pack a hefty punch if enraged . Moving on: The next step is to ride bullocks (castrated young males) before culminating in big bulls . Tough task: Bullocks, who are often approaching the size of a full-grown female, are no

Summary: Children as young as seven can take part in bull riding competitions . Youngest children ride calves before graduating to bullocks then bulls . Between four and six, they hone their skills by 'mutton busting' on sheep . Bull riding is thought to be one of the most dangerous sports in the world . An estimated one in every 15 bull rides ends in some sort of injury . Unreported World, tonight at 7.30pm on Channel 4 .


Rita Wilson appears with an ensemble of actresses in a satirical new video promoting gender equality which ironically proclaims: 'It's only fair that men should have it all.' The clip, which was created by the Make it Fair Project, presents a string of statistics that highlight the disproportionate presence that men have in influential industries like Hollywood, which means that, more often than not, males hold 70 to 95 per cent of the industry’s most important positions. 'We won't relent 'til it's 100 per cent,' the women sing in a tongue-in-cheek refrain that repeats throughout the PSA. Scroll down for video . Poor guys: Rita Wilson pretends to be sad that men don't completely dominate film industry in a new gender-equality PSA by the Make it Fair Project . 'In the past three years, only 93 per cent of films were directed by men, and only 80 per cent were written by them,' the actresses, including Meryl Streep’s actress daughter Mamie Gummer, say at the beginning of the video. They go on to note, completely dead-pan, that in 2014, 'only' 88 per cent of box office hits featured a man in the leading role. 'Sadly', they say, 'only' 70 per cent of speaking roles in films are also given to men, and women 'get to be naked' in movies twice as often as men do. The problem exists even on the Broadway stage, they point out, with 13 out of 13 plays last year being written by men. Speaking up: Actress Mamie Gummer (pictured, in a photograph by Nadia Quinn) sings in the video that it's 'only fair that men should have it all', not just 80 or 90 per cent of an industry . Far-reaching issue: Though the actresses highlight gender inequality in Hollywood, they also point out similar problems in government and Fortune 500 companies . Rita, who is known for her roles in Sleepless in Seattle and Runaway Bride, looks distressed as she lists the unfavorable statistics. The video comes just weeks after Rita revealed her battle with cancer and double mastectomy. Now, the actress, who has had devoted husband Tom Hanks by her side, is making more headlines for speaking out about another issue that effects women, this time in the film industry. But while these actresses have a particular interest in Hollywood's status quo, they insist that 'showbiz' isn't the only place where there is startling gender inequality. 'Men make up only 88 per cent of Congress, 80 per cent of governors, 95 per cent of Fortune 500 CEOs, [and] 97 per cent of creative directors in advertising,' they continue. No laughing matter: The cast of actresses sing and clap in an imitation of musical numbers performed during more serious telethons and PSAs . Social savvy: The creators of the project are promoting their message on social media with the hashtag #MakeItFair . Making a point: The YoutTube video was created by an all-female crew to demonstrate the range of talented women available . The women also point out that men continue to hold the top roles

Summary: The PSA spoof highlights a series of shocking statistics about the number of women working within the movie industry . On Broadway last year, '13 out of 13' plays were written by men, while 88 per cent of hit movies in 2014 starred men .

Jamie Robbins (above) handed himself into the police a year after he stole £1,600 from a convenience store in Birmingham with an accomplice because he preferred life in jail . A robber handed himself into police a year after he raided a convenience store saying he preferred life in jail. Jamie Robbins stole £1,600 from the Select 'n' Save shop in Kings Norton, Birmingham, with an accomplice on January 13, 2014. The case was not solved until the 35-year-old walked into a police station earlier this year and said: 'Please arrest me.' Robbins was jailed for four-and-a-half years after pleading guilty to robbery and possession of a bladed article at Birmingham Crown Court on Thursday. Ayoub Khan, defending, said Robbins had felt he could not cope outside of prison and wanted to go back behind bars. But Mr Khan added that the day before his court appearance Robbins discovered his girlfriend was pregnant - and no longer wanted to be given a custodial sentence. 'There has been an enormous change in direction of his life. He now has purpose in his life,' he said. Judge Murray Creed, sentencing, described the events as 'unusual' as the inquiry had stopped. He said: 'But for your surrender it does not look as though matters would have recommenced. This was a group attack, planned, and there was a weapon and disguises.' Robbins, of no fixed address, gave detectives full details of the robbery. He explained how he and another masked man had waited outside the store until a woman and her small child had finished their shopping. Robbins then burst into the shop with a machete and his accomplice, and demanded the shopkeeper hand over the safe. Judge Murray Creed, sentencing, described the events as 'unusual' at the hearing at Birmingham Crown Court (above) He threatened the owner with the knife and the pair escaped with £1,600, which they split between them.

Christopher Lester, prosecuting, said: 'The day before the incident, Robbins was called and asked if he wanted to be in a robbery. 'The next day he met two other men and the defendant took the weapon.' Mr Lee added that the original police investigation had not been successful and Robbins was only convicted because of the evidence he gave in interview.

Sean Donohoe, 30, from Wilnecote, Tamworth, plundered a pensioner's life savings, blowing £28,500 on shopping sprees and lavish meals out . A crooked builder befriended a widowed pensioner so he could fritter away her £28,500 life savings on shopping sprees and lavish meals out. Sean Donohoe, 30, from Wilnecote, Tamworth, plundered the elderly woman's accounts before spending tens of thousands of pounds on trips to the Snowdome and in shops such as Argos and HMV. He even persuaded his victim to change her will so he could reap the benefits, before secretly taking out two life insurance policies, both of which named him as the beneficiary. The builder has now been jailed for 21 months after admitting charges of fraud and theft. Sentencing him at Birmingham Crown Court, the judge said Donohoe abused the woman's trust in 'every conceivable way'. Judge Francis Laird QC said: 'You befriended her, you became a close friend and confidante. Because of your behaviour towards her she absolutely trusted you with her financial affairs. 'You abused that trust. You did so in every conceivable way. She effectively handed over her money to you. You were not a financial advisor. 'However she was an elderly lady, a widow, alone and highly vulnerable to a dishonest individual such as yourself.' The court was told how Donohoe had first befriended the woman when he carried out work on her property in Tyseley in 2007. By January 2011, he had started controlling the woman's finances. During that time, he applied for credit cards in her name and also ran up huge debts. The court heard how the victim also changed her will twice during Donohoe's two-year scam, leaving everything to the defendant. But the widow was unaware that Donohoe had taken out the life insurance policies. Lal Amarasinghe, prosecuting, said Donohoe used the money on trips to the Snowdome as well as on meals and at shops. But Department of Work and Pensions checks soon discovered that the woman's accounts were overdrawn, prompting social services to become involved. A judge at Birmingham Crown Court (pictured) said Donohoe abused the woman's trust 'in every conceivable way'. The builder has now been jailed for 21 months, after admitting theft and fraud . It led to Donohoe being arrested. Police found him in possession of four credit cards, as well as a raft of documentation, in the widow's name. In a statement after the case, the victim said: 'I thought he was a good person but I was wrong. As a result of what Sean did to me I was left with no money and worried about paying my bills months after. I am still shocked and upset that he stole thousands of pounds.' Nicholas Berry, defending, said Donohoe was suffering from anxiety and depression after the break-up of a previous relationship and had got into a financial troubles through gambling. 'He was spiralling into debt and owed his father a lot of money. At that time, quite clearly, he saw the opportunity to fleece the victim in an appalling manner,' he said.

Demand for rubber to make tyres is having a ‘catastrophic’ impact on the world’ s forests, scientists have warned. Up to 21 million acres of jungle will be torn down to make way for rubber plantations in the next decade alone, according to researchers at the University of East Anglia. The demand is putting endangered gibbons, leopards and elephants in south east Asia at risk, a study published in the journal Conservation Letters says. A scene of devastation captured on Indonesia's Borneo island. Endangered species in south east Asia at risk . Lead researcher Eleanor Warren-Thomas said: ‘The tyre industry consumes 70 per cent of all natural rubber grown, and rising demand for vehicle and aeroplane tyres is behind the recent expansion of plantations. ‘But the impact of this is a loss of tropical biodiversity. ‘We predict that between 4.3 and 8.5 million hectares (10.6 - 21 million acres) of new plantations will be required to meet projected demand by 2024. The tyre industry consumes 70 per cent of all natural rubber grown, and rising demand for vehicle and aeroplane tyres is behind the recent expansion of plantations . ‘This will threaten significant areas of Asian forest, including many protected areas.’ She said many protected areas have already been lost to rubber plantations - including three-quarters of the Snoul Wildlife Sanctuary in Cambodia, which was cleared for rubber between 2009 and 2013. Miss Warren-Thomas added: ‘In Cambodia, forest areas earmarked for further rubber plantations contain critically endangered water birds like the White Shouldered Ibis, globally threatened mammals like Eld’s deer and Banteng, and many important primates and carnivores. ‘Macaques and gibbons are known to disappear completely from forests which have been converted to rubber. 'our review shows that numbers of bird, bat and beetle species can decline by up to 75 per cent.’
