Kim Kardashian has revealed that she is going to great lengths to make sure that her luxurious designer wardrobe stays in mint condition because she plans on handing ‘everything’ down to her 22-month-old daughter North West. The 34-year-old reality star explained that she is creating an 'archive' of her most infamous outfits, which she stores in clear plastic bags, because she is keen on the idea of North inheriting her wardrobe when she gets older. '[‘I’m saving] every last piece,’ Kim told The Huffington Post of her most memorable designer ensembles. ‘Everything. I have a full archive. The dress that I wore on the cover of Vogue will be hers. All of my Met Gala dresses.' Scroll down for video . Family values: Kim, who is pictured with her smiling daughter North West, revealed that the 22-month-old will inherit her entire wardrobe when she gets older . Mini-me: Kim Kardashian and her 22-month-old daughter North West wear matching back while sightseeing in Armenia . The mother-of-one added: 'I keep everything and put it in these clear plastic bags altogether with the shoes - the whole look of what I wore.' As Kim named her Givenchy wedding dress, which she wore last May to wed Kanye West in Florence, Italy, as the 'prize piece' in her clothing collection, it’s likely that the one-of-a-kind gown will also be handed down to her young daughter one day. Kim credited her husband for 'introducing' her to the fashion world and added that she wants their daughter to follow in their footsteps and be confident in what she wears. She added: 'I took a lot of direction from my husband when he introduced me more to the fashion world. And now I love taking risks. I love wearing things that maybe I couldn’t quite understand at the time.' And Kim maintained that she loves all forms of personal style as long as it's unique to the individual. 'I just love when someone has their own style - even if it’s something that I wouldn’t wear,' she said. 'So I would just encourage North to be herself and wear what she thinks she looks good in. Just be yourself and take risks.' Hot mommy: The 34-year-old, pictured in a figure-hugging nude skirt, said she thinks she dresses sexier now that is a mother . Kim also admitted that she is usually responsible for dressing North, she said the 37-year-old rapper always finds something 'super cute' for their little girl to wear. 'I love when he picks out her clothes,' she explained. 'I know if I go downstairs to make breakfast and ask him to get her dressed that she’ll come down looking super cute. But usually I pretty much pick out her outfits.' And with a mother as glamorous and as make-up savvy as Kim, it's no surprise that North is already developing an obsession with beauty products - and shoes. Last week, The Keeping Up with the Kardashian star spoke with Elle.com about her daughter's budding independence and style preferences while sharing her approach to being a

A plus-size model who once earned up to £2,000 a day has found herself out of work after dropping three dress sizes. Rebecca Exton-Russell, 37, was formally a size 18 and posed in campaigns for major brands including Marks & Spencer, QVC and Dove. But the Derby-based model was secretly 'repulsed' by her body, so she checked into a military-style fitness camp and lost just over two stone in two months - going down from 14 stone to just below 12 stone. Transformed: Rebecca Exton-Russell, 37, pictured before (left) and after (right) her weight loss, was formally a size 18 and posed in campaigns for major brands including Marks & Spencer, QVC and Dove . Rebecca lost a further stone herself after she left No 1 Boot Camp in Norfolk - a reality TV star favourite - dropping to 11 stone, and slipping into size 12 outfits. 'I really don't mind losing all the work I once had at all because I am so much happier as a slimmer person,' she says. Indeed, getting the toned stomach she had always craved meant her work completely dried up. Rebecca was now was too slim to fit into any of the outfits her clients expected her to wear. 'I realised that I had lost all this weight but I effectively made myself redundant from my job as a model,' she said. 'I didn't mind because although I was always happy to smile for the cameras, I was desperately unhappy as a size 18. 'I had very little self-esteem and had lost all my confidence. My body repulsed me. I knew that I needed to turn around my life and properly get in shape. The Derby-based model, pictured in a plus-size campaign (left) and as she is today (right), was secretly 'repulsed' by her body, so she checked into a military-style fitness camp and lost three stone . Before she lost the weight, Rebecca, seen in her plus-size prime, scored a number of high profile campaigns, which could earn as much as £2,000 for a day's shoot as a size 16 or size 18 . Impressive results: In spite of this, she knew she would never be happy unless she got into shape once and for all, so she checked into No 1 Boot Camp . 'Now I have the body that I always wanted, I hope to get work as a slimmer model.' For years Rebecca, who is single, was happy to cash in on her fuller figure by working as a plus-size model. She did a number of high profile campaigns which could earn as much as £2,000 for a day's shoot as a size 16 or size 18. Rebecca appeared in promotions for High Street names like Ikea, Perfect Pizza and Butlins, who were keen to target customers of all sizes. But despite her success as a model, Rebecca had been battling her weight for years, fluctuating between 13 and 14 stone. She would often lose weight by following fad diets, but as quickly as she dropped the pounds they would pile

Summary: Rebecca Exton-Russell, 37, formally weighed 14 stone and was a size 18 . Boot camp helped her slim down to 11 stone and a size 12 . The plus-size model once scored campaigns with M&S and Dove . Since her work dried up, she has launched a jewellery business instead .


There were scenes of jubilation in the Dutch city of Dordrecht today, as flag-waving locals turned out to welcome King Willem-Alexander and his glamorous wife Maxima today. The visit, which kicked off with a pageant aboard a flotilla of boats on the local canal, was part of Willem-Alexander's 48th birthday celebrations. Koningsdag - or King's Day - is a public holiday in the Netherlands and is traditionally marked with a royal procession either in the capital Amsterdam or in one of the country's major cities. Happy family: The Dutch royals celebrated King Willem-Alexander's birthday in Dordrecht . Warm welcome: The Dutch royal couple were all smiles as they meet well-wishers in the trading city . Today, it was the turn of Dordrecht, a city in the south-west of the country, which was once a major trading port, as well as a military hub. Signs of its martial past were thin on the ground today, however, with the streets filled with a sea of joyful humanity, most of whom cheered and waved as the royals floated past. Taking centre stage was Argentina-born Queen Maxima, who opted for a typically eye-catching ensemble of a raspberry pink coat and hat enlivened with a pair of chunky crystal earrings. Also aboard the royal barge, the Dordtevaar, were the couple's three daughters: Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange, 11, Princess Alexia, nine, and Princess Ariane, eight. Willem-Alexander's brother Prince Constantijn, 45, was also aboard, as was his 48-year-old wife, Princess Laurentien, who opted for a tailored dress in patriotic bright orange. Is that it?

Echoing their parents and uncle, all three girls smiled and waved at the crowds, most of whom seemed to be enjoying the bright spring sunshine while watching the procession go past. Others used the royal day off to make some extra money, with one enterprising soul setting up a stand that offered selfies with cardboard versions of the Dutch royals for €1 apiece. Koningsdag is a long-standing Dutch tradition that began in 1890 with Queen Wilhelmina who celebrated her birthday on the 31st August. When her daughter Juliana became Queen, the date was moved to the 30th April - a tradition maintained by her daughter Beatrix, even though her real birthday is the 31st January. Since April 2013, when Willem-Alexander took the throne following his mother's abdication, the holiday has taken place his birthday, the 27th April. The celebrations, which kick off the night before

The teenager, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had to look away as disturbing footage of Tilly meowing in distress as he threw her against the door was played in Swindon Magistrates Court.

Owner Sarah Reeves was filmed throwing her cat against the walls, alerting the RSPCA to the abuse . The defendant admitted to two counts of causing unnecessary suffering and was given a nine-month referral order and banned for keeping animals for ten years.

RSPCA Inspector Miranda Albinson said when she arrived, the cat was cowering under a blanket, weighing just a third of what she should weigh, cold to the touch and 'clearly dying'. She said: 'This cat suffered a great deal in its very short life.' Tanya James, prosecuting the 16-year-old, told the court: 'The vet was asked to consider all the evidence in relation to this defendant, and in his opinion, it shows him subjecting the cat concerned to mental and physical suffering when he flushed her in the toilet. 'The cat was further distressed when it was forced to cling on to him (the defendant), and being dropped in the bath was a further traumatic experience. 'The cat would have been suffering considerable stress and anxiety throughout the incident. 'He states the cat was locked in the bathroom 24/7 and rarely got fed. 'He had been living at the address for a month, and said he had kicked the cat in the stomach in a play fight. 'He agreed he had been cruel to Tilly. 'On the day in question he had come back to the house and there was a group of males smoking weed and Sarah asked him to put Tilly in the bathroom.' Mark Glendenning, defending the youth, said: 'The cat suffered at the hands of the co-defendant which is why it had to be euthanised. 'He can give no credible explanation as to why this happened, other than he did not give it any thought, which is worrying in itself. 'There is some talk he will have to

It appears Coca Cola fans are quite an OCD bunch. Used to getting their sweet fix in bottles with colour-coded tops, many like being able to tell whether they're reaching for the 'full fat' regular variety by the red lid on top. But since March the soft drink company has been putting scarlet tops on Diet Coke as well - causing consternation for fans of the zero calorie, zero sugar version. Scroll down for video . Diet Coke bottles like this one now have red lids just like regular Coke - causing a headache for some fans .

Sir Alex Ferguson, the quiet years. No singular drive, no all-consuming discipline that keeps him on the go from pre-dawn ‘til the streetlights are burning bright. As this most honoured of sporting knights puts it himself: ‘I don’t have obsessions now.’ There’s certainly nothing that comes close to football for the famous Fergie, who has instead chosen to spend his retirement devoting himself to any number of causes; at last count, he was associated with a good dozen charities or foundations. And it will surprise no-one to learn that, while doing his bit for UNICEF, Barnardo’s et al, a little of the old firebrand spirit still burns brightly. If you want to build a statue to a Govan radical who led a rent strike and changed more than just her own wee corner of the world, Sir Alex is the man you call. Sir Alex Ferguson watches on from the stands during Manchester United's clash with Chelsea on April 18 . Ferguson, in Glasgow on Thursday to make a £5,000 donation to the Remember Mary Barbour Fund, actually physically writing out a cheque towards a permanent memorial, revealed that his life hasn’t so much slowed down as merely changed gear since he stepped down as Manchester United manager in the summer of 2013. The 73-year-old, who had lived and breathed football since making his senior debut at the age of just 16, was famous not just for the trophies won – his haul of 49 assorted cups and prizes making him easily Britain’s most successful ever manager – but the hours put in. Raised to believe that hard work was as necessary as breathing, Ferguson’s ability to push players hard was based at least in part on the example he set himself. That work ethic, simply part of his upbringing in Govan, isn’t something he’s let slide just because he no longer has one demanding day job. ‘What I’m doing is making sure I remain active,’ said Ferguson, looking trim and at ease. ‘That’s important when you retire, so I’ve got many things on my plate. ‘It’s funny, though. It’s a different kind of work. Whereas at United I was in at quarter to seven every morning, and be there to tea time every day, that was one constant thing all your life – I was doing one thing. Ferguson celebrates United's Premier League title victory in May 2013 with Rio Ferdinand . ‘Now I’m doing different things, which is maybe even more exhausting! There is no one thing, nothing like that. I don’t have obsessions now. I don’t get up at six o’clock in the morning, that’s for sure. I have a long lie now and again.’ Football is no longer the dominant factor in his life, with even questions on the game receiving short shrift, although – and this wasn’t always the case back in his managerial days - he was very polite in his refusal, answering the one out-of-bounds query by saying: Listen, Aberdeen are doing fantastic. They’ ve got a great manager and I love that club. But

Her father left home shortly afterwards and the family are now in poverty. ‘Even buying milk powder is a problem for us,’ said Jiang. ‘We are so poor that my oldest daughter asked me for 5 yuan (50p) to buy books for her class the other day and I couldn't even afford that.’ She said she continued to hope that her husband would return home.

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has urged his players to shut the Champions League out of their minds and concentrate on extending their lead at the top of the La Liga table on Saturday. Victory over fourth-placed Valencia will take Enrique's men at least temporarily five points clear at the top of the table with title rivals Real Madrid not kicking off against Malaga until evening. But with Valencia visiting the Nou Camp in the midst of a 10-match unbeaten run Enrique has stressed the importance of forgetting Wednesday night's superb 3-1 semi-final first leg win in Paris. Barcelona boss Luis Enrique has urged his side to switch their attention back to the La Liga title race . Luis Suarez starred in Barcelona's 3-1 Champions League win over Paris Saint-Germain by bagging a brace . Barcelona midfielder Andreas Iniesta has been ruled out of his side's league encounter against Valencia . Enrique said: 'We are not thinking about the PSG match, we are only thinking about the visit of Valencia. 'Mentally we will have no problems because the players know if they are not 100 per cent against Valencia things will get complicated, but physically there are one or two things we have to assess.' Andreas Iniesta is definitely ruled out for Barca after he was forced off early in the second half of the 3-1 win in the French capital with a bruised pelvis. Valencia boss Nuno Espirito Santo insisted he was impressed but undaunted by Barca's performance over PSG as his side look to pull off a shock win which will strengthen their grip on fourth place. Santo said: 'What we have seen confirms what we already thought. They are a great team with great players. They don't have many weaknesses, but they do have some.' Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti knows his side have plenty of reasons to be wary as they look to keep up the pressure on the leaders with victory over seventh-placed Malaga. Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has been ruled out of his side's La Liga match against Malaga . Benzema rolls around on the floor during Real Madrid's quarter-final clash against rivals Atletico .

Nicola Sturgeon will today launch an extraordinary bid to ‘lead the UK’ as she unveils a string of policies apparently tailor-made for a power-sharing deal with Labour. The SNP leader will unveil a manifesto including proposals for British foreign policy, welfare payments, energy bills and English university tuition fees. Several of her election pledges overlap with Labour policy, including slashing tuition fees in England from a maximum of £9,000 a year to £6,000, and rolling back competition in the English NHS. Others are calculated to drag a minority Labour government to the left, including halting the roll-out of Iain Duncan Smith’s popular changes to benefits and cancelling the Trident nuclear weapons system. Scroll down for video . Control: The Tories warn SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon will be Ed Miliband's puppet master if he becomes Prime Minister after the election . Several election pledges in Miss Sturgeon's manifesto overlap with Labour policy, including slashing tuition fees in England from a maximum of £9,000 a year to £6,000, and rolling back competition in the English NHS . The SNP also wants the UK to formally recognise Palestine as a state, give energy regulator Ofgem the power to force suppliers to cut prices and to increase public spending on infrastructure in northern England and Wales. At the heart of the SNP’s manifesto are plans for what Miss Sturgeon has called ‘modest’ spending increases funded by yet more borrowing – but which in fact total £180billion over five years. Scotland’s First Minister, who is not herself running for a Westminster seat, said yesterday the SNP had much in common with Left-wing Labour MPs and aimed to build a ‘progressive alliance’ for people ‘right across the UK’. ‘There is an opportunity to build progressive alliances for progressive policies. It is a real rather than a pretend alternative to austerity,’ she told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show. Today’s SNP election manifesto will be the first to be the focus of intense national scrutiny. Polls suggest the party is on course for a landslide victory north of the border, winning as many as 50 seats and holding the balance of power at Westminster. That could trigger constitutional turmoil of the sort that followed the 1910 election, when Irish Nationalists surged and ended up with more than 70 seats. In the years that followed, there was bitter conflict and the larger part of Ireland eventually seceded from the UK. The huge surge in support for the SNP could see senior Labour figures such as Jim Murphy (left) and Douglas Alexander (right) lose their seats . The latest Scotland-wide YouGov survey shows the SNP on a record 49 per cent, up three, with Labour trailing on 25 per cent, down four. The Conservatives were on 18 per cent and Liberal Democrats on just four per cent. The scale of the shift in traditional Labour strongholds in Scotland is unprecedented in modern European politics. Even senior Labour figures, including the Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy and the shadow foreign secretary and the party’s election campaign coordinator, Douglas Alexander, are facing defeat. The

Summary: Nicola Sturgeon will today unveil SNP manifesto as a 'bid to lead the UK' Several of her party's election pledges will overlap with Labour policies . Others are calculated to drag a minority LAbour government to the left . These include cancelling Trident and halting Tory changes to benefits .


Tara and Gavin Hills, from Kanata, Canada, have been firmly in the anti-vaccination camp, that is until their seven children contracted whooping cough. At first, Mrs Hills thought her kids had a bad cold, but then she heard their deep, booming cough that made them gag and vomit - 'the kind of cough that stops a parent's heart,' she recalled to National Post. After looking up the symptoms online - powerful coughing fits, runny nose, stringy phlegm - the Hills took their ailing brood to the hospital on the morning of April 2. Scroll down for video . Change of heart: Tara and Gavin Hills, have been anti-vaxxers for six years, but all that changed when their seven young children came down with whooping cough . Public confession: Mrs Hills, pictured left and right with her husband, penned a blog post about her decision to ditch the anti-vaxxer stance . Large brood: The Hills' six sons and a daughter between the ages of 10 months and 10 years (pictured) remain in quarantine and are being treated with antibiotics . Four days later, lab tests confirmed whooping cough - an infection of the respiratory system characterized by severe coughing spells, which mainly affects infants and children between the ages of 11 and 18. According to KidsHealth.org, before a vaccine was developed, whooping cough - also known as pertussis - killed up to 10,000 people in the US annually. The introduction of the vaccine has reduced the number of fatalities caused by the infection each year to 30, but in recent years the number of cases has been on the rise. Tara Hills said she and her husband had their first three children partially vaccinated, but then stopped because they have grown suspicious of what she described on her blog, The ScientificParent.com, as the 'Big Pharma-Government-Media conspiracy.' Weary: Tara wrote that she and her husband decided to stop vaccinating their children because they didn't trust the health care system . At risk: The Hills' three eldest kids were partially vaccinated, but the four youngest ones got no shots at all, leaving them vulnerable . 'Were these vaccines even necessary in this day and age?' Mrs Hills wrote. 'Were we unwittingly doing greater harm than help to our beloved children? So much smoke must mean a fire so we defaulted to the "do nothing and hope nothing bad happens" position.' The Hills first began questioning their controversial anti-vaxxer stance after hearing of a massive measles outbreak at Disneyland earlier this year. At first, the parents' fear of contagion proved weaker than their mistrust of the medical system. But then Tara and her husband started looking at information from government agencies and reputable health organizations. In an ironic twist - one of many in the story of the Hills' evolution as anti-vaxxers - their children have been scheduled to get their first shots soon when whooping cough struck, reported CTV News. 'I looked again at the science and evidence for community immunity and found myself gripped with a very real sense of personal and social responsibility

Summary: Tara and Gavin Hills, from Canada, stopped vaccinating their children six years ago after losing trust in the health care system . All seven Hills kids, between ages of 10 months and 10 years, came down with whooping cough last week . Tara Hills did an about-face in the wake of her family's health crisis, writing a blog post about how her stance on vaccination has changed .


Antonio Conte insisted his return to Turin for Italy's 1-1 draw against England prompted 'very fond memories', despite reports he received death threats in the days leading up to the friendly. Former Juventus manager Conte replaced Cesare Prandelli as Italy boss in August after the Azzurri's World Cup group-stage exit last summer, but his first seven months in charge of the national team have been topsy-turvy. Italy required a late goal from Eder to rescue a 2-2 draw against Bulgaria last Saturday and Conte reportedly received death threats from Juventus fans after Claudio Marchisio suffered a knee injury on the eve of the Euro 2016 qualifier. Antonio Conte insisted his return to Turin prompted 'fond memories', despite reports he received death threats . Conte guided Juventus to three Serie A titles during his time as manager but became Italy boss in August . Conte, who guided the Turin giants to three Serie A titles before taking over as Italy boss in August, was back at Juventus Stadium for Tuesday night's friendly with England and admitted the occasion had been emotional. 'I have been quite emotional over the last few days, including at training yesterday, and being back here brought back some very fond memories,' he told the Italian Football Federation website. Graziano Pelle's first-half strike looked like being enough to earn Italy victory, but Andros Townsend's long-range effort 11 minutes from time secured England a share of the spoils. Conte (left) gestures after England striker Harry Kane was involved in a clash with Italy's Giorgio Chiellini . The Italy manager, who admitted it had been an 'emotional' week for him, enjoyed his team's 1-1 draw . Conte was disappointed Italy could not hold on to their lead, but was encouraged by their play as they stretched their unbeaten run to eight games. 'It's a shame (to concede the equaliser) because we had a lot of chances against a good England team,' he added. Graziano Pelle celebrates scoring the opening goal for Italy on Tuesday night at the Juventus Stadium . Andros Townsend fired in a brilliant goal from 25 yards to level the scores for England in the friendly match . 'Nevertheless, I'm pleased because I got answers from all the players, both the ones that played the full 90 minutes and others, such as (Mirko) Valdifiori, who played only 60. 'We still need to continue to work hard in order to allow the players to develop and be ready at international level. We need them to gain confidence for them to get even better.'

Summary: Italy drew 1-1 with England at the Juventus Stadium on Tuesday night . It marked a return to Turin for Italy's former Juventus boss Antonio Conte . Conte received death threats in the build-up to the international friendly . He says it was still good to rekindle his good memories from his time there .

With a sting like a hot nail being hammered into the body, Asian hornets have killed at least six people in France. Now experts fear millions of them could be heading for Britain – and the threats they pose are to be discussed at a summit meeting by beekeepers. This is because the two-inch-long Asian hornets pose a terrible danger to our honeybees. They pick off bees as they leave their hive until the colony is so exhausted the hornets can move in and ransack it. Scroll down for video . Sting in the tail? Experts fear millions of two-inch-long Asian hornets (above) could be heading to Britain after leaving six people dead and terrorising wildlife in France . The hornet is thought to have travelled to France on some Chinese pot plants in 2004. It has colonised huge swathes of the country and, with a few hornets capable of destroying 30,000 bees in just a couple of hours, honey production has plummeted. The Norfolk Beekeepers' Association will hold its Bee Health Seminar at Easton and Otley College on May 23, organised in conjunction with the National Bee Unit, which delivers the Bee Health Programmes on behalf of Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). Topics under discussion will also highly infectious diseases which threaten bee colonies such as European and American foulbrood. Carolyne Liston, chairman of the Norfolk Beekeepers' Association, warned Asian hornets are a 'very, very aggressive predator' and said they could 'come here on the wind'. She said: 'They can absolutely decimate colonies and we are concerned that it is going to come in on someone's caravan who has been travelling in France.' UK beekeepers have been sent email alerts by Defra asking them to be on the look-out for the menaces. Danger: The threats posed by Asian hornets are to be discussed at a summit meeting by beekeepers, while UK beekeepers have been sent email alerts by Defra asking them to be on the look-out . The Asian hornet can measure up to 2in long with a 3in wingspan – slightly smaller than the European hornet but much more aggressive. One Asian hornet can kill 40 bees in a minute, while a handful can destroy a hive of 30,000 bees in a couple of hours. They build rugby ball-shaped nests in trees, housing some 500 hornets. They scare off intruders by sending a lone worker hornet to 'warn' them – if that fails, the workers attack en masse. Worker hornets have lifespans of 30-55 days. Asian hornets have a black head with an orange-yellow face and bright yellow leg tips, while the European hornet has a copper coloured head with a bright-yellow face and entirely reddish-brown legs. They have been urged not to approach nests, which they say hornets make in tall trees or in garages and sheds. If Asian hornets are spotted here, the National Bee Unit will send out experts from the Animal Health Veterinary Laboratories Agency to kill them using special chemicals. Ministers drew up battle plans in case killer Asian hornets are discovered

Summary: Millions of Asian hornets have colonised swathes of French countryside . Vicious insects mutilate honeybees and prey on beehives to feed young . Six people have died in France after suffering allergic reactions to sting . Ministers in Britain have drawn up battle plans for any possible invasion .


The Catholic Church has been accused of blocking the appointment of the first ever homosexual ambassador to Vatican City. Laurent Stefanini, 55, was in January asked by French President Francois Hollande to represent their country at the Holy See. But the controversial appointment was met 'with a stony silence', according to the French media. The appointment was met 'with a stony silence' by the Vatican (pictured), according to French media . Le Monde newspaper reported that Mr Stefanini was a practising Catholic but his proposed move from head of protocol at the Elysee had 'not received the agreement of the Vatican's administration'. It added: 'The homosexuality of the appointee would have triggered a barrage against him.' This is despite the fact that Mr Stefanini worked as number two to the French ambassador at the Vatican, the smallest country in Europe, between 2001 and 2005. Le Monde writes ironically that Mr Stefanini counted without the 'charitable souls in Paris and Rome who wanted to turn his sexual orientation into a disability' and 'mobilised to derail his nomination'. Laurent Stefanini, 55, was in January asked by French President Francois Hollande (pictured) to represent their country at the Holy See . In July 2013, Pope Francis seemed to speak out against centuries of anti-gay teaching by the Catholic Church, saying homosexuals should not be marginalised. Speaking on a flight back from Brazil to Italy, he reaffirmed the official position that homosexual acts were sinful, but homosexual orientation was not. 'If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge?' said the Pope. The Vatican has not yet commented on the Mr Stefanini's case, but sources close to President Hollande confirmed that other candidates were now being looked at for the prestigious job. Vatican City, home of the Holy See and headquarters of the global Catholic Church, covers 110 acres and has a population of 842. France's Council of Ministers approved Mr Stefanini's appointment on January 5th, but the position remains vacant. The Archbishop of Paris, Cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois sent a letter to Pope Francis to support the French Government's choice of ambassador. However, some members of the Roman Curia believed Mr Stefanini's appointment was a provocation by the French Government. Gay marriage was legalised in France under the presidency of Mr Hollande, who is a father of four who has never wed, despite having numerous girlfriends. In July 2013, Pope Francis seemed to speak out against centuries of anti-gay teaching by the Catholic Church .

Summary: Laurent Stefanini, 55, asked to represent France to the Catholic Church . Homosexual diplomat's appointment met with silence from the Vatican . Catholic, Stefanini was number two at France's Vatican mission from 2001 . In 2013 the Pope seemed to speak out against the Vatican's anti-gay stance .


Classical singer Camilla Kerslake was centre of attention at Sunday's Olivier Awards after she suffered a wardrobe malfunction as she arrived with England rugby skipper boyfriend Chris Robshaw. Wearing a daring, backless black dress, Camilla, 26, showed off more than she bargained for in her revealing floor-length gown. Despite being accompanied by Robshaw, who played for Harlequins in their 29-26 Premiership victory over Gloucester 24 hours earlier, the cameras were firmly trained on the singer. Scroll down for video . Daring: Camilla Kerslake showed off more than she bargained for in a daring backless gown at the Olivier Awards with MasterCard in London on Sunday where she was accompanied by Chris Robshaw . Posing with their arms around each other, the 'pre-engaged' couple looked the picture of happiness. 'Chris and I are on the same page and we definitely plan to get married in the near future,' the singer recently told The Mail on Sunday in her first interview about her famous boyfriend. 'Some people call it a pre-engagement. It's all about timing – at the moment we're both so busy with work. Pre-engaged: Camilla was joined by her England rugby captain boyfriend Chris Robshaw but her dress was the focus of attention . 'I even had to spend Valentine's Day outside in the cold sandwiched between hordes of angry men as I cheered Chris on during his game.' 'Pre-engagement' is a growing trend, with thousands of couples now choosing 'promise' rings ahead of a formal proposal. Camilla, though, has her eye on the real thing, and has been spotted scouting engagement rocks at Tiffany. Racy: Camilla flashed more than hint of sideboob in her dramatically racy floor-length gown . One way to get attention: Kerslake's dress made sure she stood out on the star-studded red carpet . So far, her 6ft 2in boyfriend has been notably reticent when friends have quizzed him on the subject. But Camilla appears undeterred. 'It's tricky now as I'm currently locked away in the studio recording my third album and Chris is obviously incredibly busy and focused on his rugby and the Six Nations. 'But he gets back from England camp in April and the Six Nations boys have some time off in May and weekends off in June, so we'll have more time to ourselves then,' she added. 'As soon as things calm down for both of us work-wise, we'll start making plans.' Tight game: Robshaw (not pictured) played for his club Harlequins against Gloucester on Saturday .

Who has been Liverpool’s player of the season? Had you asked that question 12 months ago, the answer would have been glaring: Luis Suarez. For his 31 goals and his breathtaking displays, the accolade could only have gone to the Uruguayan. It was not, though, a case of him operating alone. Had it been a ‘normal’ season, Steven Gerrard, Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling would all have been worthy recipients. But they were not the only contenders. Jordan Henderson was outstanding. Martin Skrtel was a big presence. Luis Suarez was clearly Liverpool's player of last season after the striker scored 31 goals in the campaign . Steven Gerrard (left) and Phillippe Coutinho (front) also played well as Liverpool's title tilt fell short . The Brazilian playmaker put in a real all-action display for his team. As well as scoring the winner, he had the most shots, most touches, the highest duel success, highest dribble completion, and the most tackles. Fast forward to the present and ask the same question: who has been Liverpool’s player of the season? There is no obvious candidate. Henderson, of course, would have his backers. The England international has excelled since the turn of the year, while Coutinho would command his share of the vote. Brendan Rodgers suggested after the Brazilian’s fabulous goal against Manchester City on March 1 he might be a contender for PFA Young Player of Year but, at times since, his flame has not flickered so brightly. Sterling had three blistering months when his goals were key to reviving fortunes. Emre Can has caught the eye since Christmas, while results have been better with Lucas Leiva in the team; Liverpool have only suffered three defeats in the 23 matches he has started. And that explains why Liverpool are where they are at the moment. There have been lots of satisfactory contributions, a few excellent, but there hasn’t been anywhere near the consistency of 12 months ago. Jordan Henderson has chipped in with some important goals and impressed with his boundless energy . Coutinho has again played well and won the game for Liverpool to send them into the FA Cup semi-finals . Coutinho has popped up with some important goals this season — five of his six strikes have earned Liverpool results (four wins and a draw). It is why they find themselves on the wrong side of the line for Champions League places and why they have made such heavy weather of this FA Cup campaign. For long periods here they flattered to deceive. Sterling saw little of the ball and Sturridge continued to show how out of form he is. The goals have dried up for Rodgers’ side over the course of the last month — they had only scored seven in their previous six matches before this game. Rodgers must have feared the worst as Simon Mignolet kept his side’s Wembley dreams alive with two stunning saves early in the second period, but then, much to his relief, up popped Coutinho. There is still time, of course, for one

Summary: Luis Suarez was Liverpool's player of last season . But who would earn that accolade this year? Jordan Henderson has many backers, as does Coutinho . Several, among them Emre Can and Raheem Sterling, have shone in parts . There have been lots of adequate contributions but there hasn't been anywhere near enough consistency . If Liverpool are going to clamber into the top four and win the FA Cup, much will depend on the little Brazilian .


Our quest for the perfect garden could be ruining our chances of making contact with ET. This is according to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory who is objecting to proposals by iRobot to release a radio wave-guided lawnmower. It claims iRobot's machines will interfere with its sensitive radio telescopes which astronomers are using to pick up signs of alien life. Our quest for the perfect garden could be ruining our chances of making contact with ET. This is according to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory who is objecting to proposals by iRobot to release a radio wave-guided lawnmower. iRobot is famous for creating self-guided Roomba machines . The problem is the frequency band proposed for the lawnbot is 6240-6740 MHz - the same one several large radio telescopes operate on. 'We'll see the whole thing with our electronics,' Harvey Liszt, spectrum manager for the observatory, told Bloomberg. 'It's a distortion.' iRobot, who has created self-guided Roomba vacuum cleaners, has filed a request with the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to use airwaves for its latest design. The Massachusetts company says its vision is to create lawnmowers that are guided wirelessly from beacons on poles stuck into the lawn. Existing models use wires hidden in the ground to set boundaries, rather using airwaves. Astronomers that the frequencies iRobot wants to use are the same as they use to detect methanol – a key sign of star formation. There is already a ban on the use of mobile phone close to the Green Bank Telescope (pictured) in West Virginia, which the National Radio Astronomy Observatory owns . The company claims its device could 'make this necessary chore easier' and reduce the 38,000 injuries caused by walk-behind mowers each year. According to Bloomberg, iRobot claims the astronomers' concerns are exaggerated and said the chances of its gardening technology will interfere with space exploration are 'infinitesimal'. But the National Radio Astronomy Observatory argues that the frequencies iRobot wants to use are the same as they use to detect methanol – a key sign of star formation. iRobot has offered to place a notice in user manuals that states: 'Consumer use only; use must be limited to residential areas.' Researchers at the Parkes Observatory claim they have finally found the source of these 'alien' signals - in their kitchen microwave . For years, scientists have been trying to uncover the source of mysterious radio signals being picked up in Australia. Theories have ranged from evaporating black holes to extraterrestrial communication and mergers of neutron stars. Now researchers at the Parkes Observatory claim they have finally found the source of these 'alien' signals - in their kitchen microwave. Scientists knew the strange signals, known as perytons, originated somewhere near to the planet, but they had no idea just how close. The researchers were able to replicate the emission of perytons by opening the microwave door while the device was still running. Within a fraction of a second, the microwave activity was picked up by the reader and the source of the perytons revealed. 'Subsequent tests revealed that a peryton

Summary: iRobot is creating wireless lawnmowers guided by radio waves . Gadget and observatories will both use the 6240-6740 MHz band . Astronomers say it could prevent them from detecting methanol . iRobot says chances of interference occurring are 'infinitesimal'


Never-before-seen pictures of Winston Churchill show the moment the former prime minister appeared to fall asleep at a Second World War reunion party alongside Dwight Eisenhower. Churchill, then 84, was President Eisenhower's guest of honour at the gathering, held at the home of the US ambassador in London, in 1959. The party, held on the 20th anniversary of Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland, brought together the great and good of the Allied WWII campaign. Scroll down for video . Nodding off: Winston Churchill (sitting, left) appears to be falling asleep as President Dwight Eisenhower (sitting, centre) and Harold Macmillan (sitting, right) chat at a meeting of wartime leaders.

Other guests include Viscount Montgomery (standing, second from left) and 1st Earl Harold Alexander (sitting next to Eisenhower) Lord Alan Brooke wakes up Churchill, who appears slightly sheepish, but no one else seems to have noticed his quick nap . The wartime comrades met at Winfield House, a mansion in Regent's Park which was the residence of US ambassador John Hay Whitney. But the former prime minister, famously partial to a daytime drink, appeared to be struggling to keep his eyes open as the leaders posed for official photographs. The amusing photographs seem to show Churchill nodding off while sat next to Eisenhower, and among the likes of then prime minister Harold Macmillan and British wartime commander Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery. After a short nap, Churchill looks slightly sheepish as he is awoken from his slumber by fellow guest Lord Alan Brooke, but fortunately no one else seems to have noticed his quick snooze. The dinner party also saw the reunion of Eisenhower, who became President after the end of the war, and Montgomery. The pair had clashed over military strategy during the latter stages of the war when Eisenhower was Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe.

Churchill, famously partial to a daytime drink, appeared to be enjoying the reunion despite seeming to nod off . Their feud had been reignited a year prior to the anniversary dinner when Montgomery published his memoirs in which he slated Eisenhower's command. But the pair were able to put their grudge on hold for the gathering, which also featured Field Marshal Harold Alexander, who oversaw the Dunkirk evacuation, and Field Marshal Alan Brooke, the most senior military advisor to Churchill during the war. Other esteemed guests included Charles Portal, 1st Viscount Portal of Hungerford, former Chief of Air Staff, 1st Baron Arthur Tedder - Eisenhower's deputy commander

When Jessica Carey drove more than three hours to Washington to see her grandmother, the elderly lady didn't realise she was in store for two surprises. As Jessica walked through the door, she revealed she had had a portrait of a younger Patty Lawing tattooed on her forearm. Patty's heartwarming reaction was captured on film by a relative, showing her overcome with emotion at the artwork. Jessica surprised her grandmother Patty Lawing with the tattoo and it was captured on camera .

Barcelona ace Neymar scored twice as Barcelona cruised past Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain at the Nou Camp. The Brazilian was on hand to embarrass fellow countryman David Luiz as the former Chelsea defender endured a horrendous evening in Spain. Rik Sharma sorted the best from the rest during the Champions League clash at the Nou Camp... Barcelona . Marc-Andre ter Stegen 6.5: Called into action for the first time by Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the second half and dealt with the Swede’s powerful drive well, before fielding an Ezequiel Lavezzi strike too. One of the quietest evenings he will have. Dani Alves 7.5: Wound back the years to give everyone a reminder of why he was considered the best right-back in the world. Dazzling stepovers then a wicked cross for Neymar to bury. David Luiz takes on Paris Saint-Germain ace Javier Pastore during their match at the Nou Camp . Gerard Pique 5: Had little to do but shanked a couple of clearances horribly, which is out of character for the defender. Was also robbed by Ibrahimovic, though it came to nothing. Suffering a minor dip after a few months in which he has been at his very best. Javier Mascherano 6: Pique was the player assigned to deal with Ibrahimovic and Mascherano was left with little else to do, in a quiet evening for Barcelona’s defence. Javier Mascherano reacts during Barcelona's Champions League clash with PSG at the Nou Camp . Jordi Alba 6: Didn’t bother rampaging forward like you often catch him doing in La Liga. In theory that was to take care of Edinson Cavani, but the striker was extremely quiet. Sergio Busquets 7: Helped to snuff out the threat of Zlatan Ibrahimovic when the forward dropped into his midfield zone. Started a few Barcelona attacks with his usual eye for a quick pass. Ivan Rakitic 7.5: Contributed to Barcelona’s high pressing, caging PSG in their own final third. Physically fit enough to get back and help out in his own defensive quarters too. In games like these . Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic holds off opposition midfielder Pastore as the Catalan side breezed through . Andres Iniesta 9: Has not quite found his best rhythm under Luis Enrique but his amazing dribble to set up Neymar’s goal was pure Iniesta. Substituted at half-time for Xavi. Lionel Messi 6.5: Stayed wide on the right for a long while, conserving energy. Given his efforts against Valencia at the weekend, and in general during an extremely busy month, he can be forgiven. When he contributed to the game, it was with his usual quality, and whipped a strike inches wide of the left post in stoppage time. Argentinean wizard Lionel Messi dances his way through the Barcelona defence as they cruise through . Luis Suarez 6.5: Extremely unselfish. The Uruguayan did a lot of running and although it didn’t come to fruition on a personal level, he earned Neymar acres of space and Barcelona were rewarded. Huge applause when he was substituted. Neymar 9: Two clinical finishes here, and plenty of direct,

Summary: Neymar scored twice as Barcelona eased through at the Nou Camp . Brazilian ace did his best to embarrass fellow countryman David Luiz . Former Chelsea defender endured a horrendous night in Barcelona . Dani Alves did his best to earn a new contract as he impressed throughout .


All hungry Leo wanted was one of his dog biscuits to chew on. Instead the Staffordshire-Boxer cross ended up nearly burning the house down and killing his owner's son. The dog caused a severe fire after managing to switch on the cooker while trying to reach his dog treats. The heat from one of the hob's rings set fire to a child's seat that had been left resting on the electric appliance. Fire starter: Hungry Leo almost burned down his owner's home as he hunted for his dog treats . The blaze was started after the Staffordshire-Boxer cross was believed to have knocked one of the cooker knobs, switching on the hob . Smoke began to fill the three storey home in Peckham, south-east London, as owner Allen Mosey's son, 21, and his daughter's boyfriend relaxed in upstairs rooms. The pair managed to flee unharmed with Leo after noticing thick black smoke billowing up the stairs. More than 10 firefighters were needed to extinguish the flames. A search of the house later revealed that the source of fire was the cooker. Firefighters believe that when Leo was hunting for food he knocked one of the cooker's knobs, turning the rings on. The blaze damaged one third of the ground floor of the property and Leo's family have been left surviving on sandwiches. 'You wouldn't think butter would melt in his mouth to look at him,' Mr Mosey, 67, told the Southwark News. 'He's the most docile dog you could think of.' The charred remains of a car seat that had been left on the hob, which caught fire . Leo's owner Allen Mosey examines the damage caused to his home by the fire in Peckham, south-east London . Allen and his wife Jean were out shopping when the blaze started. Mrs Mosey, 47, confessed that she often left things on the cooker when it was switched off. She said that despite Leo almost burning down the house the family still love him, but he will be locked out of their new kitchen. A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: 'We're naturally extremely pleased that no one was injured in this fire and while unusual, it's not unheard of for our crews to deal with incidents like this. 'It shows just how important it is to keep pets away from naked flames or cooker controls and to make sure kitchen surfaces and cookers are clear of food and other items that can easily catch fire.'

Summary: Family pet Leo nearly burned down home in Peckham, south-east London . Staffordshire-Boxer cross managed to switch on cooker hunting for food . Child's car seat left on top of one of the hob's rings caught fire . Subsequent blaze damaged a third of the ground floor of the property .


An elderly couple has spent four years living in the shadows after being forced to board up their windows because of constant anti-social behaviour. Charles Kingham, 86, and partner Pauline Moore, 68, have been together for 40 years and bought their home in the quiet Lincolnshire seaside resort of Mablethorpe for £35,000 in 1987. They spent two years converting it into their dream home, but it became a 'living hell' after it was converted into an integrated offender management centre, which deals with persistent criminals. Scroll down for video . Board stiff: The couple have been forced to board up every window in their home for protection . The pair have both suffered health problems as a result of the stress the ordeal has put them under. Mr Kingham, who served in the Merchant Navy and ran his own timber company before retiring, said: 'The biggest fear for me is going to bed and wondering if we are going to wake up if something is thrown through the letter box. 'We sit here sometimes and think how we have had such a wonderful life. 'But this is misery, absolute misery and nobody wants to do anything. That is the modern world.' Ms Moore claimed the problems started when people started selling drugs nearby and would walk up their garden path 'high'. Incidents intensified when the couple reported anti-social behaviour in the area. They were targeted on an almost weekly basis, with vandals smashing windows with stones and pelting their home with eggs and golf balls. The thugs even splashed cooking fat across the walls and path, urinated on their flowers and keyed their car. At least they have each other: The couple have been together for 40 years despite 'misery' caused by thugs . Every single window of their home has been smashed and the couple eventually got so sick of having to spend time and money replacing them that they took drastic measures. The pair spent £700 on wood and boarded up the house for protection. They have been living in the shadows ever since. And although the house should be worth £100,000, the couple believe they would have to sell for a knock-down price of £60,000 to escape the darkness. Retired office worker Ms Moore sobbed: 'This house was a dream home but our life has been made a living hell. 'We can't sell and are just stuck here so we've barricaded ourselves in. It's the only thing we could think of doing to stop the abuse. 'We have both got so low. I have developed a heart condition through anxiety. 'When they were banging on the windows, Charles went down with a chest infection because of the stress. I thought he was going to die. Dark days: Mr Kingham has to perform normal daily tasks in constant gloom since boarding up his home . 'The trouble started four years ago when the old lady who lived next door died and the house was turned into an integrated offender management centre. 'It was basically for offenders coming out of prison.

Summary: Charles Kingham, 86, and Pauline Moore, 68, had their home pelted with eggs, stones and even cooking fat on a weekly basis . Thugs banged on their door and urinated on garden flowers . Couple were forced to board up all the windows for protection . Ms Moore says yobs turned dream seaside home into living hell .


Nick Abendanon was perhaps the only happy Englishman at Stade Marcel Michelin on Saturday night and, after leading Northampton a merry dance, he revealed faint but lingering World Cup hopes. Clermont Auvergne’s former Bath full back ran amok as the Premiership champions were thrashed 37-5 — scoring one try from long range and having a crucial hand in two others, to claim the man-of-the-match award. Abendanon won the last of his two caps for England back in 2007, but he was still on the coaches’ radar until his move across the Channel last summer and, after a supreme display of elusive running, he admitted he has not given up on the slim possibility of a Test recall. Nick Abendanon breaks clear to score for Clermont in their thrashing of Northampton on Saturday . The English full back was man of the match for the third time against Premiership opposition this year . The 28-year-old is theoretically out of contention as an exile abroad, but he invoked the ‘exceptional circumstances’ clause in the RFU selection policy as he said: ‘I’d love to get a call from Stuart (Lancaster) over the summer, but I’m not counting on it because they’ve got that rule in place. ‘I understood the reasons for the rule, and in my heart I knew that when I came to France my England career was probably over. But the World Cup . . . special dispensation . . . if Clermont continue the way they are, I stay injury-free and I keep playing some good rugby, then maybe it’s a possibility in the same way that people have been talking about Steffon (Armitage).’ Abendanon crosses in his starring performance for the French side in the European Champions Cup . A World Cup dispensation has been discussed for Toulon's English flanker Steffon Armitage . They have the squad to do anything, based on their efforts on Saturday night, when the Saints were brutally swept aside. Visiting captain Dylan Hartley said: ‘They steamrollered us and just kept going.’ His fellow England forward, Tom Wood, vented his frustration on Twitter, saying: ‘Thanks to Clermont for inviting us to their open training-session today. We’ve left our non-contact bibs in the changing-rooms. Humbled.’ Northampton captain Dylan Hartley (second right) leads the Saints off the field after their convincing defeat . Meanwhile Anthony Watson believes it is only a matter of time before Bath’s attacking intent delivers silverware after their 18-15 European Champions Cup quarter-final loss to Leinster in Dublin. Mike Ford’s men produced an impressive second-half comeback to leave the three-time champions hanging on by a thread at the end with full back Watson and fly-half George Ford especially impressive. ‘If anything, the way we played against Leinster adds more confidence because I thought there were times when we showed all we can do,’ Watson said. ‘I think the way we have been playing this year has been a revelation to be a part of and I have really enjoyed playing for this club.’

Summary: Nick Abendanon was man of the match in Clermont win over Northampton . Clermont thrashed Premiership's Saints 37-5 at Stade Marcel-Michelin . Former Bath full back conceded England career over after France move . But Abendanon's not yet given up hope of a call-up to the national team . He hopes to be spoken of in the same way as Toulon's Steffon Armitage .


Jos Hooiveld's late strike earned Millwall a crucial 2-1 victory over south London rivals Charlton on Good Friday - the Lions' first win at The Den since October. Hooiveld prodded home Magaye Gueye's low drive in the 87th minute, after Gueye had cancelled out Alou Diarra's strike for the Addicks. Charlton had skipper Chris Solly dismissed midway through the first half for deliberate handball in the box, but Stephen Henderson saved Lee Gregory's resulting penalty. Substitute Magaye Gueye (right) celebrates scoring the equaliser in Millwall's 2-1 defeat of Charlton . Charlton defender Chris Solly gets his marching orders after handling the ball in the penalty area . Charlton keeper Stephen Henderson celebrates after saving the resultant penalty from Lee Gregory . Millwall: Forde, Cummings, Nelson, Hooiveld, Harding (Maierhofer), Upson (Bailey), Williams, Abdou (Gueye), Woolford, Gregory, O'Brien. Subs: Dunne, Beevers, Archer, Taylor-Fletcher. Booked: Hooiveld, Williams, Woolford . Scorers: Gueye 79', Hooiveld 87' Charlton: Henderson, Solly, Gomez, Johnson, Fox, Gudmundsson, Diarra, Cousins, Eagles (Bikey), Vetokele (Bulot), Watt (Church). Subs: Wiggins, Lennon, Dmitrovic, Lepoint . Booked: Solly . Sent off: Solly . Scorer: Diarra 67' Referee: Mick Russell . Att: 14,722 . The result moved Millwall up to 22nd in the Sky Bet Championship table, just four points behind Rotherham, while Charlton remained 11th and without a win over the Lions since 1996. Millwall boss Neil Harris named an unchanged line-up from the 2-2 draw at Brentford last time out and his side had the best of the early exchanges. The hosts almost went ahead on four minutes, but Ed Upson's brilliant ball over the top narrowly evaded the outstretched leg of Gregory. Solly found his name in the book after just 10 minutes after a coming-together with Gregory, as the visitors struggled to get a foothold in the game. Upson should have put the home side ahead on 18 minutes, but the unmarked midfielder headed just over from Dan Harding's dangerous cross from the left. But the Addicks almost took the lead against the run of play when Chris Eagles prodded narrowly wide from close range after Johann Berg Gudmundsson's chipped ball forward.

Millwall's Ed Upson (left) and is blocked off by Jordan Cousins (right) of Charlton during the first half . The game changed just short of the half-hour mark when Solly was given his marching orders for deliberately handling Aiden O'Brien's effort in the box, gifting Millwall a penalty. Gregory stepped up, but the striker's effort was well saved by Henderson low to his right to keep the scores level. Charlton switched to a 4-3-2 formation, with Andre Bikey replacing Eagles, but Millwall continued to dominate and Henderson produced another spectacular save to deny Upson five minutes before half-time. The Lions dominated the possession after the break, but the Addicks arguably looked more comfortable after going down to 10 men. And Guy Luzon's side almost took the lead on 52 minutes after a swift counter-attack, but Gudmundsson's left-footed shot curled just wide of the

Summary: Millwall beat 10-men Charlton 2-1 in their Championship clash at the Den . Addicks defender Chris Solly was sent off for a handball in the area . Stephen Henderson saved the subsequent penalty from Lee Gregory . Alou Diarra scored for visitors against the run of play in the second half .

The mother of a girl who was murdered 40 years ago has spoke of the horror of recently seeing crime scene photos of her daughter's body. Virginia Trimble Ritter's daughter, Marcia, was raped and choked to death by Jerome Sydney Barrett in 1975. Marcia's body was found 33 days after she disappeared and Ritter's then-husband advised her against seeing the body and the crime scene photos. The mother of a girl who was murdered 40 years ago finally asked to see the crime scene photos of her daughter's body and now says she wants revenge. Virginia Trimble Ritter's daughter, Marcia, was raped and choked to death by Jerome Sydney Barrett in 1975 . Marcia's body was found 33 days after she disappeared and Ritter's then-husband advised her against seeing the body and the crime scene photos . Charlie, who died in 1989, wanted their last memory to be of her running in and out of the house, 'the real Marcia.' But Ritter told The Tennessean, last year it was a decision she now regrets. 'I have never seen a close-up photo and I want to. I'm going to.' She had declined to see the photos for several decades, and not even after Barrett was convicted 33 years later. But last year she asked Mickey Miller, Metro police lead investigator who worked on the case if she could see them. She says he tried to convince her not to see them, but she persisted and she viewed them on his laptop. Jerome Sidney Barrett, 68, was found guilty of second-degree murder six years ago and a Davidson County Criminal Court jury imposed a sentence of 44 years (pictured in 2009) 'Her mouth was black,' Ritter said. 'And her face, her head was swollen. It didn't look like Marcia. But to see her other parts of her body looked like Marcia. She said her daughter had vomit across her, her hair was pulled out in parts and there was blood on her scalp. Ritter said she shouted, 'If I had a gun I'd kill him!' Marcia's body was found 150 yards from her home amid the clutter of a rarely used, windowless garage, under a shower curtain and a child's wading pool. She had been strangled and sexually assaulted, and her cookie money was missing. Cookies were scattered around the clothed body. A neck bone was fractured. The case was Nashville's most notorious unsolved murder for 33 years. In 1979 police charged a Trimble neighbor with the slaying, but prosecutors dropped the charges about a year later because of lack of evidence. He was 15 at the time of the crime. Barrett, 68, was living in Memphis when he was arrested in 2006. He was brought in after police matched the DNA on the murdered child's clothing to that of his. The match happened after he was arrested for the 1975 murder of Vanderbilt University student Sarah Vannatta Des Prez. Barrett had been in prison on sex charges between 1974 and 2002 except for about a year when Marcia disappeared. In 2009 he was

Ritter, who did not see her daughter's body at the time, recently asked to see the photos investigators took at the scene .

My wife, she is drunk and on pills and she just attacked me,' Michael says as the sound of a baby crying in background can be heard. When asked if he was okay, he replied: 'I'm more cut up. She just got out of jail. DWI the works. We are locked outside. I think the baby got hurt… she was hitting me and the baby.
