With just 28 days to go before polling day, Labour and the Tories remain neck and neck. The latest polls have the two main parties locked on around 35 per cent, pointing to another hung Parliament on May 7. But while voters are saying one thing in public, Britain's bookies are seeing a completely different picture in private – with punters placing a flood of cash on the Tories. Scroll down for video . While voters are saying one thing in public, Britain's bookies are seeing a completely different picture in private – with punters placing a flood of cash on the Tories . Twice as many bets on who will win the most seats have been placed on the Conservatives than Labour, MailOnline can reveal. One bookie alone has taken five bets for more than £10,000 on David Cameron's party to emerge with the most seats – with not a single bet of this size on Ed Miliband's Labour. The betting market echoes polls which have revealed that people expect Mr Cameron to remain Prime Minister – even if they are not planning to vote for the Tories themselves. With the election going down to the wire, bookies have seen a flood of political bets. Gambling industry experts told MailOnline this year's general election to be the first in history with more than £100million placed on its outcome – three times the amount staked in 2010. The bookies Paddy Power said they are expecting the election to be the biggest non sporting market in its history – topping the market on the next Pope after Benedict's retirement and the flood of bets on the royal baby in July 2013. So far it has seen twice as much staked on the general election this year than at the same point last time. The largest bet placed with Paddy Power was a £50,000 punt on a hung Parliament which was made at the end of March with odds of just 1/5. The lucky punter would scoop £10,000 if neither party won a majority. Overall, the betting market is pointing to another hung Parliament but with the Tories as the largest party . The latest polls have the two main parties locked on around 35 per cent, pointing to another hung Parliament on May 7 . 3/1 Ed Miliband to be photographed eating another bacon butty . 16/1 David Cameron to get the average supermarket price of a pint of milk wrong by 10p or more . 10/1 Eric Pickles to be photographed visiting more than five chippies . 20/1 Royal baby to be born on general election day . While most of the bets have been placed on who will be the biggest party, there have also been a host of left-field punts. More than 100 bets have been placed on Ukip becoming the largest party in the House of Commons – at odds of 100/1. If either party were to pull off the shock feat, the bookies would be forced to pay out more than £100,000. Overall, the betting market is pointing

Summary: EXCLUSIVE: Punters backing the Tories to finish as largest party . Twice as many bets are being placed on the Tories to win over Labour . One bookie alone has taken five bets for more than £10,000 on the Tories . General election set to be the first to break the £100million betting barrier .


An ingenious British designer has come up with the ultimate environmentally-friendly way to create stunning household furniture - by letting Mother Nature do all the hard work. Gavin Munro grows young trees into specially-designed plastic moulds, pruning and guiding the branches into shape before grafting them together to form ultra-tough joints. Using this method he's already created several prototype pieces and has a field in Derbyshire where he's currently tending a crop of 400 tables, chairs and lampshades which he hopes to harvest next year. Scroll down for video . Farm fresh: The field in Derbyshire where British designer Gavin Munro is growing his unique and beautiful furniture . Crops: A row of willow dining chairs growing directly into shape which Mr Munro hopes to have ready for market by 2017 . Finished articles: Prototype versions of a table and chair created by growing trees directly into plastic moulds . Mr Munro, 39, a keen environmentalist, believes the technique - which has been dubbed botanical manufacturing - could one day be used to create sustainable and ecologically-sound furniture on a much larger scale. He explains: 'You start by training and pruning young tree branches as they grow over specially made formers. 'At certain points we then graft them together so that the object grows in to one solid piece - I’m interested in the way this is like a kind of organic 3D printing that uses air, soil and sunshine as its source material. 'After it's grown into the shape we want, we continue to care and nurture the tree as it thickens and matures before harvesting it in the Winter and then letting it season and dry. 'It's then a matter of planing and finishing to show off the wood and grain inside.' Furniture farmer: Gavin Munro with a prototype wooden lampshade grown into shape using his ingenious technique . Botanical manufacturing: A light shade being grown, left, and as a finished article, right . Working together with his wife Alice, Mr Munro mainly uses strong, fast-growing willow for his designs but is also experimenting with ash, sycamore, hazel, crab apple, sessile oak and red oak. He had the original idea while working as a gardener in San Francisco and making furniture from driftwood in his spare time. Remembering an old over-grown bonsai tree in his mother's garden when he was child which resembled a throne, he decided it would be faster to grow furniture directly rather chopping a mature tree into bits. As well as avoiding the need for nails, fixings and machinery, the designs should last longer than traditionally-made chairs as they don't have the weak points around the joins. Wife Alice, 40, explains: 'Just like a broken bone will be a lot stronger where it heals, the points where the wood is grafted are extremely strong. The field in Derbyshire where the unusual crop is growing. Mr Munro hopes it will be ready to harvest next year . Form and function: The technique creates furniture which is not just beautiful to look at but extremely strong too .

Summary: British designer prunes and grafts growing trees directly into shape . He's currently tending a field of 400 tables, chairs and lampshades . Mainly using willow but also sycamore, ash, hazel and crab apple . First crop to be harvested next year with furniture ready for sale in 2017 .

Oskar Groening (pictured earlier in the hearing) is being tried on 300,000 counts of accessory to murder and faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted . An Auschwitz survivor who lost 49 family members in the Holocaust says the fact that a 93-year-old former guard at the death camp is on trial is more important than any punishment. Eva Pusztai-Fahidi, who lost her parents and sister, told the Lueneburg state court today that seeing former SS officer Oskar Groening in court is 'a kind of satisfaction.' The 89-year-old says she could never have imagined she would be testifying before a German court and that 'for me it's not about the punishment', the DPA news agency reported. Her comments come after another Holocaust survivor angered her fellow plaintiffs by forgiving Groening - known as the 'bookkeeper of death' - and said he should not be prosecuted. Eva Mozes Kor, 81, who publicly embraced Groening in court last week in an extraordinary act of forgiveness, called for the trial to end. By doing so, she faced criticism from her co-plaintiffs who suggested she should not have taken part in the trial in Germany. Groening is being tried on 300,000 counts of accessory to murder and faces a possible three to 15 years if convicted. Prosecutors argue his role sorting prisoners' stolen valuables, to which he admits, helped the death camp function. Mrs Kor made her comments during a television appearance on Sunday discussing the purpose of the trial. She argued that any Nazis still alive should instead come forward to speak publicly about what they did to help counter the threat of neo-Nazi Holocaust deniers in Germany. In response, her co-plaintiffs released a statement through their lawyers yesterday saying: 'Our clients would not comment here – who better than a survivor of Auschwitz knows that everyone needs to find their own way to overcome their suffering – if Mrs Kor did not repeatedly stage her 'forgiveness' publicly. Scroll down for video . Embrace: Seventy years after Auschwitz was liberated, Eva Kor embraced former Nazi guard Oskar Groening . Survivor: Eva Kor spoke of how Josef Mengele stood over her bed and laughed when she was injected with a 'deadly germ' Regret: Groening (pictured) described in chilling detail Wednesday how cattle cars full of Jews were brought to the Auschwitz death camp, the people stripped of their belongings and then led directly into gas chambers . 'The subject of this criminal procedure is NOT that Mr Groening has done anything personally to Mrs Kor or any of the other co-plaintiffs. 'Whether it is Mrs Kor's place to forgive Mr Groening's participation in the murder of her relatives is up to everyone to decide for themselves. 'But if Mrs Kor says 'these prosecutions must stop' then she should not have become a co-plaintiff.' The statement added: 'We cannot forgive Mr Groening his participation in the murder of our relatives and another 299,000 people – especially since he feels free from any legal guilt. 'We want justice and we welcome the resolution that this trial

Summary: Oskar Groening accused of complicity in the murder of 300,000 Jews . Eva Pusztai-Fahidi says just seeing him in court is 'a kind of satisfaction' Another survivor angered fellow plaintiffs by saying he shouldn't be on trial .

Birmingham is the rat capital of the UK and the London Borough of Southwark has the most mice, cockroaches and bed bugs, according to new research. The Midlands city topped the league table for the highest number of rat exterminations with almost 15,000 between 2013 and 2014. Newcastle is officially the most pest-infested place in the country with 5 per cent of those living on Tyneside reporting problems with rats, cockroaches, wasps and other creepy crawlies. The North East city was followed by the City of London where 4.9 per cent of people reported problems, and in Knowsley, Merseyside, 3.4 per cent of residents were forced to call in exterminators. Scroll down for video . A survey revealed Birmingham to be the rat capital of the UK while the London Borough of Southwark has the most mice, cockroaches and bed bugs . Five per cent of residents in Newcastle, more than 6,000 people, called in pest inspectors last year - making Tyneside residents the most likely to report a problem (file image) The figures, released by the British Pest Control Association, also revealed that the most pest-free place was Southend, in Essex, where 0.03 per cent of homeowners had a problem. Officials at the BPCA warned that pests numbers are at their highest levels for several years after councils cut free pest-buster services. They said that, while there were usual local reasons for particular pests being common, the overall trend across the UK was an increase in numbers. For example, while rats and cockroaches are particularly common in large cities such as London, areas such as Fife, in Scotland, are much more prone to ants. Scotland as a whole has seen an explosion in the ant population in the last four years, will call-outs to treat the problem increasing three-fold. A graph compiled by the British Pest Control Association shows Wales is the most rat-infested country in the UK (left) and another shows the prevalence of mice by country (right_ . While inner-city areas such as Birmingham and London were plagued by rats and cockroaches, more rural areas such as North Lanarkshire were overrun by wasps (pictured) Meanwhile, residents of North Lanarkshire in Scotland were the most likely to report problems with wasps. After an especially wet summer in 2012-13 which killed off a lot of the UK's wasps, 2013-14 saw a boom in the number of the pests, especially in Scotland. The survey also revealed that the number of local authorities who provide a free pest control service has declined by 26 per cent over the past four years. And the BCPA is warning that this the potential to prompt a significant increase in pests, including rats and bedbugs. Simon Forrester, chief executive of the BCPA, said: 'Our study provides a comprehensive and graphic indication of the demand placed on local authorities for pest control. 'There are many localised reasons why a particular area could have a high prevalence of a certain pest, but there's certainly a recurring theme. 'If an infestation of any pest isn't dealt with quickly and professionally,

The most pest-free place was Southend, in Essex, according to survey . British Pest Control Association warns number of bugs at an all-time high .


When President Barack Obama dined with a dozen technology business leaders in California four years ago, it was Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt who sat at the head of the table. Obama sat on one side, between the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and Facebook pioneer Mark Zuckerberg, but the place of honor was no accident. Google executives and employees donated more than $1.6 million to Obama's two White House campaigns, and the online search giant parachuted top talent into both. One result has been a coziness with the U.S. government's executive branch that few other companies can match – marked by access for lobbyists, mentions in nearly half of Obama's State of the Union addresses, and a personnel feeder trough serving the White House with new senior hires. BEGINNING: In 2007 Barack Obama had an on-stage cameo with Google's then-CEO Eric Schmidt as part of a presidential candidate series . INFLUENCE: Schmidt (far left) shared the head of the table with the spouse of a venture capitalist whose firm owned 20 per cent of Google, as President Obama dined with tech leaders in 2011 . There have even been allegations that Google's up-close-and-personal relationship with the West Wing earned it a reprieve from what would have been an earth-shaking Federal Trade Commission antitrust lawsuit. Google has insisted it never received special treatment in that case, punctuating its denials with an animated GIF of a laughing baby as a jab at the news outlet that leveled the charge. White House visitor logs suggest a different kind of story for the company whose motto is 'Don't be evil.' Employees of the Silicon Valley behemoth have been in the White House more than 230 times since Obama took office – approximately once per week. At least 190 of those meetings were with senior officials. More than 60 featured Google lobbyist Johanna Shelton. Overall, according to The Wall Street Journal, Google spent $16.8 million on lobbying last year. That's four times the amount spent by Apple, whose market capitalization is twice as big. It needed that muscle in 2011, after the FTC found Google allegedly manipulated search results in ways that favored its own for-profit products. Amazon and eBay were among the companies who complained that Google was engaging in practices that violated antitrust laws. The Journal reviewed emails showing that Google co-founder Larry Page met directly with FTC officials in late 2012 to discuss a settlement. About the same time, White House visitor logs show, Google chairman Eric Schmidt met with Obama senior adviser Pete Rouse. REVOLVING DOOR? Google vice president Megan Smith left her job to become Obama's chief technology officer . Lobbyist Joanna Shelton and General Counsel Kent Walker met with Jason Furman, then the newly minted chair of the president's Council of Economic Advisers. Furman followed up with a meeting with FTC chairman Jon Leibowitz. The government closed its investigation two months after Obama won re-election. READY FOR HILLARY: Stephanie Hannon, director of product management, civic innovation and social impact at Google, has become the Hillary Clinton campaign's top technology guru

Summary: Google employees donated $1.6 million to President Barack Obama's two White House bids . The company told Daily Mail Online that it has spoken with the Federal Trade Commission about antitrust concerns; it was investigated in 2011 but later let off the hook . In the 2012 election, the company’s search algorithm customized results for Obama but not for Republican Mitt Romney . Google execs who have left to work in the White House include Obama's chief technology officer . Hillary Clinton also poached her new tech chief from Google this week .

Known as Śmigus-Dyngus, meaning Wet Monday, the celebration is held in several Central European countries, such as Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary. This unusual tradition is almost on the brink of extinction, with only a few villages in Slovakia still celebrating Easter this way . In Nyiregyhaza, Hungary, a similar tradition occurs, with young men dressed in folk dress sprinkling water on the village's local women . In Hungary, the ritual is known as Vízbeveto, or Water Plunge Monday, and women present the men with coloured eggs in exchange . In Nyiregyhaza - about 140 miles from Budapest - the tradition takes place while members of the Nyirseg Dance Group perform .

A 73-year-old grandmother was found guilty of first-degree murder on Wednesday after gunning down her third husband while he was sleeping. It took the El Dorado Superior Court jury in less than two hours to convict Colleen Harris of murdering Robert Edward 'Bob' Harris in their Placerville, California home in 2013. Decades before, in 1985, Colleen Harris, a Placerville Land surveyor, shot dead her second husband and the father of her three children, 46-year-old James Batten, after claiming he had been abusive towards her. Colleen Harris (right), 73, pictured with defense attorney David Weiner, was found guilty of first-degree murder on Wednesday after shooting her husband while he was sleeping in 2013 . Colleen Harris wept in court after the El Dorado Superior Court jury announced their decision. It took them less than two hours to convict her of murder . Colleen Harris will be sentenced for the killing of her third husband on June 5. She stands to receive 50 years to life for first-degree murder with a firearm . Both killings were carried out in the same home with the same type of gun, and in both cases, after pulling the trigger, she claimed she had temporary amnesia and could not remember doing it. Colleen Harris will be sentenced on June 5, standing to receive 50 years to life for first-degree murder with a firearm, according to the Sacramento Bee. She cried and put her hand over her face as she was found guilty. Her initial trial testimony was that Bob Harris may have committed suicide, and later Colleen Harris claimed that the shooting was an accident wherein the couple had wrestled over the gun on their bed. Bob Harris, a U.S. forest supervisor, baseball umpire and sheriff's volunteer, was having an extramarital affair with a 34-year-old doctoral student and teacher he met in Mongolia, the court heard. Colleen Harris (left) first testified that Bob Harris (right) may have committed suicide.

German football has certainly had better days. Still coming to terms with the morning resignation of their most gifted and charismatic coach, Jurgen Klopp, the Bundesliga then saw its champions humbled, embarrassed even, at a feverish Estadio do Dragao on Wednesday night. Not since the days of Jose Mourinho more than a decade ago have FC Porto seen anything quite like this. Porto remain one of Portugal’s eminent teams – they have been champions in three of the last four seasons – and won the Europa League four years ago. But nothing quite feels the same as bringing a genuine European superpower to its knees and Porto and their rapturous supporters went home knowing that they now have a more than a decent chance of squeezing through to the semi-finals of the Champions League when the teams reconvene in Bavaria next Tuesday. Porto earned an impressive 3-1 Champions League first leg victory against Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on Wednesday night . Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer brings down Porto striker Jackson Martinez to concede a third minute penalty . The Bayern players surround referee Carlos Velasco Carballo following his decision to award Porto a spot-kick . The 31-year-old forward had no problem slotting the ball past Neuer to give his side an early 1-0 advantage . German star Neuer dives in the wrong direction as Quaresma calmly slots away the spot-kick with just three minutes on the clock . Porto: Fabiano 6.5, Danilo 6.5, Maicon 7, Martins Indi 7, Alex Sandro 7, Herrera 7, Casemiro 7, Torres 7 (Neves 74' 6), Quaresma 8.5 (Evandro 84'), Martinez 8, Brahimi 7 (Hernani 78') Subs not used: Helton, Quintero, Reyes, Aboubakar . Booked: Alex Sandro, Casemiro, Danilo . Goal: Quaresma 3' (p) & 10', Martinez 64' Manager: Julen Lopetegui 8.5 . Bayern Munich: Neuer 6, Rafinha 6, Boateng 5, Dante 5, Bernat 5.5, Lahm 6, Alonso 5 (Badstuber 73' 6), Thiago 6, Muller 6, Lewandowski 5.5, Gotze 6 (Rode 56' 5.5) Subs not used: Reina, Pizarro, Gaudino, Weiser, Lucic . Booked: Neuer, Bernat, Lahm, Rode . Goal: Thiago 28' Manager: Pepe Guadiola 6 . MOM: Quaresma . Referee: Carlos Velasco Carballo 6 (Spain) Att: 50, 092 . Bayern, it must be said, were wretched. Missing key players, Pep Guardiola’s team were also missing balance, cohesion and an ability to defend properly. Only the cruel would say that in a week when all the talk has been about Guardiola moving to Manchester City in a year’s time, he oversaw a performance rather familiar to those who have been watching the fallen English champions recently. Guardiola’s team started badly and got worse. In the middle of the game they improved a little but as the second half wore on they failed themselves once again. This was a defeat by two goals that they can have no complaints about at all. If they don’t improve markedly next week then they really will go out. Beforehand, there was little to suggest this would happen. Yes, Bayern were without Sebastian Schweinsteiger, Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery but Porto are a team

David Curry (pictured) was asked to leave The Wallow Wetherspoon pub in Blyth, Northumberland because he was wearing tracksuit bottoms . A father was asked to leave a Wetherspoon pub for a family breakfast with his wife and stepdaughter because he was wearing tracksuit bottoms. David Curry, 49, had travelled ten miles from home to visit The Wallow in Blyth, Northumberland, for the first time with wife Vee, 45, and her daughter Kayleigh. But when the family arrived Mr Curry was told he could not stay in the pub because he was wearing a pair of £40 Adidas trousers. The pub chain has apologised to Mr Curry, from Ashington, but said a no-tracksuit policy had been in place at the bar since 2013. 'I go to my local Wetherspoon pub in Ashington all the time wearing track suit bottoms and we have never been denied entry,' said Mr Curry. 'We decided to go to this one instead for a change of scene. 'We had just walked in and were just about to go to the bar when a waiter said "excuse me you have got to leave, you are wearing track suit bottoms". 'I couldn't believe it. I just had to laugh and walk away.' Instead, the family travelled back to Ashington and went to a nearby pub for Sunday lunch. Self-employed builder Mr Curry said he often wears sportswear as part of a health regime that saw him shed 17 stone through exercise and giving up alcohol. He had been drinking 25 pints a day and ballooned to 28 stone, but changed his ways and started running up to 20 miles a day after being told he would die if he did not lose weight. Teaching assistant Mrs Curry said the pub chain has lost money by turning the family away at the door. 'I said you are joking! We had just come for our breakfast. When Mr Curry arrived at the pub with his wife and stepdaughter he was told he could not order a drink because of his attire . 'Dave was wearing a pair of £40 trousers, they weren't cheap. 'Yet he was being told to leave by a waiter who hadn't even ironed his uniform. The waiter looked really scruffy. 'There are people wearing tracksuit bottoms in Wetherspoons all the time. 'It was the first time we had ever visited that Wetherspoon pub and we won't be coming back. 'We just left - we were fuming.' Wetherspoon spokesman Eddie Gershon said: 'Wetherspoon apologise to the gentleman and completely understand his disappointment. The pub chain has apologised to Mr Curry but said a no-tracksuit policy had been in place at the bar since 2013 . 'The pub has operated a no tracksuit policy since opening towards the end of 2013. 'We appreciate that the gentleman in question wasn't aware of this and we would also ask our staff to use discretion. 'However on this occasion the fact is he was refused service and to reiterate we apologise to him for this.' Mr Gershon said the no tracksuit policy

It's well known that exercise can make your muscles bigger. Now, a study has found it may make your brain larger, too. Physical activity can increase grey matter in the brain, increasing the size of areas that contribute to balance and coordination, according to Health Day news. The changes in the brain may have health implications in the long-term, such as reducing the risk of falling, said the study's author, Dr Urho Kujala, of the University of Jyvaskyla. Scroll down for video . Exercise can increase the size of areas of the brain that contribute to balance and coordination, a study found . It could also reduce the risk of being immobile in older age, he added. Dr Kujala said physical activity has already been linked to a number of health benefits, such as lower levels of body fat, reduced heart disease risk factors, better memory and thinking, and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. But he and his team wanted to understand how exercise affects the brain. They recruited 10 pairs of identical twins, who were all men aged 32 to 36 years. Focusing on twins, who have the same DNA, would allow researchers to see how their environment affects their bodies. In each pair of twins, one brother had exercised more over the past three years than the other, though they reported they carried out similar levels of exercise earlier in their lives. Dr Kujala said: 'On average, the more active members of twin pairs were jogging three hours more per week compared to their inactive co-twins.' The twins had MRI scans of their brains so researchers could see whether physical activity had any impact on the size of their brains, and specific regions. Exercise didn't seem to affect the size of the brain as a whole, Dr Kujala said. But there was a connection between more activity and more brain volume in areas related to movement, he added. Previous research found exercise is linked to lower levels of body fat, a reduced risk of heart disease, better memory and thinking, and a lower risk of type 2 diabetes . The twins who exercised more did a better job of controlling their blood sugar, which reduces the risk of diabetes, a finding which is already well-known. The study was published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. It comes after US researchers found regular exercise can also make you smarter. University of South Carolina experts found regular treadmill sessions create more mitochondria - structures in the cells that produce the body's energy - in the brain. This energy boost helped the brain to work faster and more efficiently, effectively keeping it younger, researchers said. In the short term this could reduce mental fatigue and sharpen your thinking in between gym sessions. And building up a large reservoir of mitochondria in the brain could also create a 'buffer' against age-related brain diseases such as Alzheimer's.

Summary: Study: Exercising increases the amount of grey matter in the brain . It makes areas of the brain that control balance and co-ordination bigger . In the long term this could reduce the risk of falling or becoming immobile . Previous studies show exercise can stave off Alzheimer's and diabetes .


When Destiny's Child reunited at the Stellar Gospel Awards in Las Vegas last weekend, it was the first time Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams performed together since appearing during the halftime show at Super Bowl in 2013 in New Orleans. Beyoncé and Kelly joined Michelle to surprise the crowd,and opened the broadcast with a gospel medley that included the song 'Alpha & Omega' and the hit single 'Say Yes' from Michelle's 'Journey To Freedom' CD. The group received a rousing standing ovation from the 9,000-plus crowd, but they weren't introduced as Destiny's child - they were introduced by their individual names. Scroll down for video . Nameless: Singers Michelle Williams, Kelly Rowland and Beyonce performing "Say Yes" during the 30th Annual Stellar Awards in Las Vegas last week. The singers did not refer to themselves as Destiny's Child . Touchdown: Destiny's Child perform during the Pepsi Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show in 2013 . Daily Mail Online has learned exclusively that the threesome want to do another ten-year reunion tour and intend to cut a reunion album - but they won't use the group name for that either. And it's all by design. 'Alhough Destiny's Child is made up of the three ladies, Beyoncé's father and former manager Mathew Knowles owns one-fourth of the group as well. Anytime they do anything under the name Destiny's Child, he has involvement in it and money from it,' a source close to the group reveals to Daily Mail Online. None of the members of Destiny's Child want any involvement with Mathew, who once managed each of their individual careers as well as the group. Kelly was first to fire him in 2009, Michelle followed in 2010 and Beyoncé finally nixed all dealings with her dad after accusations of stealing money from her in 2011. Mathew's marriage to Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles ended after it surfaced he had gotten a woman named Alexsandra Wright pregnant. Once she gave birth to their son Nixon, Tina filed for divorce. In 2014, it was revealed that Mathew fathered a second child, a four-year-old daughter named Koi. 'That it was claimed Mathew stole money from Beyoncé and then he sued to prove that he didn't was bad enough. But all of the extramarital affairs and children outside the marriage just made it so that Beyoncé doesn't have anything to do with her dad at all,' the source explained. Before the split: Destiny's Child and Matthew Knowles pose for a portrait October 30, 2000 in Houston . In late 2012, Beyoncé invited her dad to meet daughter Blue Ivy and to have a conversation with him that was chronicled for her HBO documentary, 'Beyoncé: Life Is But a Dream.' But after that, says the source, she stopped communicating with him again and his only access to her is via her assistant's work email address. The trio's unwillingness to deal with Mathew is why they keep putting off a Destiny's Child reunion album and tour. Their 2005 Destiny Fulfilled tour grossed approximately $70.8 million in the U.S. alone and according to

Jacques Burger encapsulates all the values rugby union’s marketing people love to espouse. Fiercely loyal, brave beyond words, strong and dedicated. At Saracens, who take on Racing Metro in Paris on Sunday in the European Champions Cup quarter-final, the flanker is loved by his team-mates every bit as much as he is loathed by opponents who fear the reckless abandon with which he is prepared to play the game. With a face left battered and bruised by years of punishment, Burger is the man you want on your team. ‘I change into something else when I play rugby, my personality changes,’ said Burger. ‘When I step off the pitch I will be somebody else again. It is pretty weird. You go out there and do your job then you step off and pick up your kids and you are soft again. When it is time to go, there is a switch that turns you on for a big match.

Burger of Saracens tackles Harlequins ace Chris Robshaw in the Aviva Premiership match . ‘My dad always says he doesn’t want to die a healthy man. I don’t want to go down healthy. Hopefully there’ll be a bit of wear and tear. I’m happy to crack on and give 100 per cent every time I get the opportunity.’ Therein lies the challenge facing rugby today. For all we love about these young men who risk serious injury every week in order to entertain us, are the risks becoming too great? Saracens director of rugby Mark McCall described Burger as ‘unique among rugby players’, praising his willingness to ignore risks to his own wellbeing. Burger and Schalk Brits of Saracens tackle Damien Chouly of ASM Clermont Auvergne . Burger bursts through to score a try during the Aviva Premiership match between Saracens and Harlequins . His continued presence on a rugby field is something of a miracle after undergoing pioneering knee surgery in South Africa more than three years ago which a British specialist refused to carry out because he considered it too extreme. At the very least he will need a full knee replacement in the not-too-distant future. ‘I feel massively blessed,’ said the 31-year-old Namibian farmer’s son from Windhoek. ‘I never thought I’d have come back and played so many games after the surgery. I went through a lot of pain. ‘The physio says I’m a bit like Benjamin Button. I’m going back in time and healing up again. I will probably regret it after rugby when I’m sitting at home having to do some work. But that’s for the future. I’ll worry about that when I get there.’ Sitiveni Sivivatu is tackled by Burger and Kelly Brown during the Heineken Cup semi final . But while he can be very cavalier with his own body, Burger believes players do need to be protected from themselves at times. ‘It is annoying for players sometimes because you want to crack on and keep playing.

Claudia Alende, 21, who came second in last year's beauty pageant, launched a scathing attack on current title-holder Indianara Carvalho, claiming the model had 'revealed who she truly is'. Miss Carvalho, 23, posted the racy picture to her Instagram account on Good Friday - the day the country's 130million Catholics solemnly remembered the crucifixion and death of Christ. Scroll down for video . Racy: Indianara Carvalho posted the picture of her naked body painted with an image of the Virgin Mary on Good Friday . Slammed: Claudia Alende, who came second in the competition, launched a scathing attack on Miss Carvalho . The image, one of a series of nude shots she shared over the Easter weekend, was accompanied with a prayer which including the words: 'Good Friday. Lord, on this day I ask for peace, love, wisdom and strength'. But the paintings - created by Brazilian spray-paint artist Binho over 10 hours - prompted a tirade of disapproval from her followers, many of whom accused the Miss BumBum winner of disrespect and religious sacrilege. Ms Alende, the competition's vice champion, better known as the Brazilian 'Megan Fox', today waded into the furore, claiming she had been left 'shocked and ashamed' by her rival's risqué Easter stunt.

Police charged 34-year-old Paul Johnson-Yarosevich of Acton, Maine, on Monday with prohibited use of computer. The investigation started in December after the father of a pre-teen girl told police about the contact. Police said they determined the girl thought she had been communicating via social media with another female student around her age. Police charged 34-year-old Paul Johnson-Yarosevich of Acton, Maine, on Monday with prohibited use of computer after they say they discovered he'd been fooling a pre-teen girl into sending him inappropriate photos of herself by posing as a young girl on social media .

A Vietnam War veteran has been suffering from songs being stuck in his head for weeks at a time in a condition that doctors think may be linked to his service. Gregg Manderson, 68, of St Paul, Minnesota, first sought medical attention after he got Twinkle Twinkle Little Star trapped inside his mind last May, setting off nearly twelve months of doctors his mind shuffling between tunes that are stuck on repeat. He has also hallucinated the theme song to the western 1950s television show Cheyenne had the same mysterious bugle call stuck in his head for years. Minneapolis VA Medical Center neurologist Dr Khalaf Alla Bushara and researcher Roger Dumas have looked for a way to end the earworm, though they have yet to find a cure for the military-style revelry. Scroll down for video . Gregg Manderson, 68, of St Paul Minnesota, has sought medical help after Twinkle Twinkle Little Star first became stuck in his head last May. Sounds including police sirens are stuck in his head for around a month . 'These men and women who served, their service still influences their lives even years later,' Dr Bushara told KARE11. The doctor said that the hallucinations occur in those in hearing loss, when the brain compensates for a lack of stimulation by making its own sounds. Dumas, who used to make drum machines and synthesizers for Janet Jackson and Prince before he got into science, said that music hallucinations are different from how a normal person has a song stuck in their head. He told Daily Mail Online that patients such as Manderson experience their hallucinations as sound, rather than have the consciousness that it is only stuck in their head. Manderson will often be listening to the same song for a month before something new appears, though some, like the bugle call, never leave. He thinks that his mind made up the sound, which no one else can put a name to, though he likes it better than other sounds such as the police sirens that circled around his brain for a week. Roger Dumas, a cognitive science researcher who used to make synthesizers for Prince, helped Manderson identify the song in his head and says the tune is unique because it is self-composed . Dr Khalaf Alla Bushara (left) of the Minneapolis VA Medical Center (right) is trying to help cure Manderson by playing the song repeatedly in hopes that he will tune it out . Dumas said that music hallucinations are most often songs that everyone else knows such as 'Twinkle Twinkle', making Manderson's self-composed song fairly novel. The call was particularly frustrating when he first brought it to the attention of doctors, as he did not know what it was. He originally described it as some sort of brass instrument, and was only able to narrow it down with Dumas's knowledge of synthesizers and knack for creating sounds described by others such as musical artists. 'I'm getting used to it, but I don't like it,'Manderson said of the condition. Dr Bushara is trying to

A Los Angeles judge agreed with the governor's decision to reject parole for a Charles Manson follower imprisoned 43 years for two brutal murders. Bruce Davis' record shows there is 'some evidence' he is dangerous and shouldn't be freed, Superior Court Judge William C. Ryan wrote in a decision filed Wednesday. Davis, 72, was convicted in the 1969 slayings of musician Gary Hinman and stuntman Donald 'Shorty' Shea and sentenced to life in prison in 1972. He was 30 years old at the time. Then and now: Bruce Davis, Charles Manson's former follower (pictured left in 1970 and right in March 2014), has been denied parole after spending 43 years in prison for a double homicide in 1969 . Bloodthirsty: Bruce Davis held Gary Hinman, a friend, at gunpoint while Charles Manson (pictured) sliced his face open with a sword . Davis, who once bragged of cutting Shea's head off, claimed he has turned his life around in prison, earning a doctoral degree in philosophy, becoming religious and ministering to other inmates. He also married a woman he met through the prison ministry, and has a grown daughter. The couple recently divorced. The parole board cited those accomplishments, along with his age and good behavior as reasons to grant him parole in March last year. Gov. Jerry Brown rejected that decision in August, saying factors in his favor were outweighed by the brutality of the killings and Davis' lack of insight into the crimes, which he didn't admit until 2012 after claiming for years to be an innocent bystander. The Manson family planned to rob Hinman, a friend, but killed him after holding him two days because he said he didn't have money. Davis held Hinman at gunpoint while Manson sliced his face open with a sword. About a month later, Davis stabbed Shea, who worked at Spahn Ranch where the family lived. His body was found buried on the property years later. Homicidal maniac: Charles Manson, pictured left in 2011, orchestrated the murders of eight people in 1969, including actress Sharon Tate (right). Davis did not play a part in her slaying . 'Both victims were abused, defiled and mutilated,' Ryan wrote. 'These actions demonstrate the utmost callous disregard for human suffering.' The judge said he gave broad deference to Brown's discretion and that the governor's decision in August didn't amount to cruel or unusual punishment. Davis' lawyer had not seen the decision, but said he would appeal to a higher court. 'I'm stunned. I can't believe he would do that,' attorney Michael Evan Beckman said. 'The judge is wrong.' The parole board has found Davis suitable for release three times, but Brown and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger reversed the decision each time. Steve Grogan, another participant in those murders, was released many years ago after he agreed to lead police to where the bodies were buried on a remote movie ranch in the San Fernando Valley. Captured: Steve Grogan (left) and Bruce Davis (right) enter court to be tried for murder in 1970 . Brainwashed: Manson family murderers Susan Atkins,

Robbie Fowler is already among the names of the best Premier League strikers of all time, with only five players scoring more than his 162 goals. The former Liverpool, Leeds and Manchester City hitman broke on to the scene as a goalscoring sensation at Anfield in 1993 and would go on to win 26 caps with England. But Fowler couldn't resist naming an ultimate starting XI from players who featured during his era (with one particular Dutch striker treading a grey area!) as he names his all-star team. GOALKEEPER . Peter Schmeichel . It may be a shock for Fowler to name a Manchester United legend in his team, but the striker featured alongside the great Dane during a brief spell together at Manchester City. Peter Schmeichel celebrates a Manchester United goal in a 1999 Champions League semi-final vs Juventus . CENTRE-BACKS . Paolo Maldini . There is little surprise to see Paolo Maldini in anyone's dream team with the former AC Milan and Italy star widely regarded as one of the greatest defenders of all time. Fernando Hierro . Fowler seemed to snub Premier League players when picking his centre-backs and although Hierro had a spell at Bolton in his twilight years, it was at Real Madrid where the former Spain record goal scorer made his mark. Fabio Cannavaro . Italy's World Cup winning captain also gains a place in Fowler's incredibly strong back three, thanks to a glittering career playing at a host of big clubs including Real Madrid, Juventus, Inter Milan Parma and Napoli. Real Madrid's Fernando Hierro looks for options in a 2002 Champions League match against AEK Athens . Fabio Cannavaro gives a thumbs up sign at the Bernabeu after signing for Real Madrid in 2006 . Paolo Maldini celebrates scoring against Messina for AC Milan in a November 2006 at the San Siro . WING-BACKS . Roberto Carlos . During the late 1990s, Carlos set the bar for full-backs with his dynamic pace and incredible free-kick technique making him a stand out star for Real Madrid and Brazil. Frank de Boer . 'I'll be honest I was going to pick Gary Neville,' Fowler said. 'But I'm going to go with Frank de Boer. Sadly, Gary you can't play in my team.' Roberto Carlos spent 11 years at Madrid and gestures during a Champions League match vs Bayern Munich . Barcelona's Frank de Boer (left) beats Liverpool's Emile Hesky to the ball in a Champions League match . MIDFIELDERS . Lothar Matthaus . 'I don't really need to say too much about him, everyone knows him. He was about for years and years and won everything in the game.' Patrick Vieira . 'Arsenal and Manchester City have seen him and he was an absolute tremendous player - he loved to tackle.' Luis Figo . 'Now I've played in charity matches with Luis and he is a tremendous player - even still. ' Lothar Matthaus celebrates scoring a Bayern Munich equaliser with two minutes to play in a German league match against Arminia Bielefeld in April 1998 .

Summary: Robbie Fowler picked dream team based on players from his era . Former Liverpool star named Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel . Ex Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira picked over Steven Gerrard . Fowler named Marco van Basten as his strike partner in starting XI . Gary Neville was a late exclusion from Fowler's line-up .


At his heaviest he tipped the scales at a mind-boggling 70st. But after losing two thirds of his body wight in just five years Paul Mason now faces a new challenge - ridding himself of the unsightly rolls of skin he longer needs. The Brit, from Ipswich, Suffolk, managed to shed a staggering 46st after gastric bypass surgery in 2010 but the NHS have refused to give him an operation to remove his 7st of excess skin. Scroll down for video . Now: Paul Mason, pictured in hospital last month when he was treated for an infection in his leg, once tipped the scales at 70st but has lost 46st in five years . Then: At his largest, the former postman would then eat quadruple portions of fish and chips along with two kebabs for lunch followed by a roast dinner, curries or pizza and more chips in the evening . The 54-year-old wanted the surgery done for free but his bid failed after health service bosses said he needed to prove that he could keep the weight off. Despite his monumental weight-shedding feat, Mr Mason has been left with a constant reminder of the size he once was - thanks to the excess skin sagging around his arms, legs and stomach. Speaking after the NHS turned him down in 2012 the former postman told The Mirror: 'The loose skin is having a horrible effect on my life. I can't make any more progress if they don't do these operations.' Mr Mason is now preparing to undergo an operation in the U.S. after plastic surgeon Dr Jennifer Capla, from Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, offered to carry out the procedure free of charge. Speaking to The Mirror, she said: 'I remember seeing an image of him, wheelchair-bound, he couldn't walk. 'To me it was so sad that he had gone through this whole journey and come full circle, and he couldn't even do basic things and no-one would help him.'

Britain's first black prime minister will be a Conservative, David Cameron will claim today. In a bid to woo ethnic minority voters, Mr Cameron will say the Tories are the party of opportunity for people from all backgrounds who want to get on. He will also set out targets for ethnic minority recruitment designed to persuade voters the party is on their side. Scroll down for video . Mr Cameron will say the Conservative party will one day be the party of the first black or Asian prime minister . Highlighting Margaret Thatcher’s record as Britain’s first – and only – female prime minister, he will say: ‘We’re the party of the first female prime minister. The party of the first Jewish prime minister. And I know that, one day, we’re going to be the party of the first black or Asian prime minister.’ ‘I want this to be an opportunity country, where no matter who you are or where you’re from; whether you’re black, white, Asian or mixed race – whether you’re from the inner city or rural heartlands, you can make the most of your talents.’ The claim will be seen as a tacit endorsement of the leadership ambitions of Culture Secretary Sajid Javid, the only current Asian Tory seen as a potential contender. It is designed to tackle the Tories’ long-standing difficulty in attracting support from Britain’s growing ethnic minority electorate. The claim will be seen as a tacit endorsement of the leadership ambitions of Culture Secretary Sajid Javid (pictured), the only current Asian Tory seen as a potential contender . A report by the Runnymede Trust think-tank last week warned that suspicion of the Tories among ethnic minority voters could cost the party nine seats at next month’s election and 50 within a decade. Some senior Tories believe Mr Cameron has done too little to address the party’s reputation among ethnic minority voters – and warn that the party could face similar problems to the US republicans unless it acts quickly. Mr Cameron will today pledge to ensure that, by the next election, at least 20 per cent of Tory candidates in seats where a Conservative MP is standing down will be from an ethnic minority background. The figure this year is 18 per cent. At the time of the last census in 2011, 14 per cent of the UK population was identified as black or minority ethnic. But the Prime Minister will today set targets to achieve 20 per cent ethnic representation in the recruitment of police officers. The current figure is just 8.3 per cent. A 10 per cent target will also be set for the armed forces, to hit 20 per cent in the long term. At present the figure for recruits is 5.7 per cent. New targets will also be set to increase by 20 per cent the number of black and ethnic minority students going to university, being offered apprenticeships and getting jobs. Mr Cameron will say: ‘Our mission is to make sure that as our economy recovers, people from every community share

Summary: Prime Minister says Conservatives will be party of first black or Asian PM . Cameron points to party record of past female and Jewish prime ministers . He will set out targets for ethnic minority recruitment in bid to woo voters .


Wealth:Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and his wife Princess Haya of Jordan Royal Ascot race meeting, plans to build six-storey car park . The ruler of Dubai is set to build a personal six-storey super car park in London for his fleet of more than 100 luxury motors. The ultimate toy cupboard will house up to 114 cars and have five-star accommodation for chauffeurs and staff. It is being built by the billionaire emir of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, one of the world’s richest men. The car park will be built next to Battersea heliport by the River Thames, allowing him and his associates – including his 23 children – to arrive in the capital by helicopter and jump straight into whichever luxury car they like. But neighbours are worried their road will be spoilt by the estimated 120 cars arriving and departing each day. The Sheikh, who is also vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, has business interests including the Godolphin horseracing stables and the Jumeirah luxury hotel group. His super car park will have two basement floors and six above ground, to include offices, bathrooms and three triple-bedroom flats for the drivers. Though the site is already used for storing cars, angry neighbours are opposed to the car park being built, with one writing: ‘Mendip Road has become the personal fiefdom of the drivers who work from the current car storage facility.’ Another, Jane Helm, 52, said: ‘This sounds like another example of an enormously wealthy foreigner making big plans without thinking much about local people who just want to live in peace. Plans: The car park would have two basement floors and six storeys above ground if planning permission is granted . Massive fleet: The Sheik has 114 cars that he hopes to park in six-storey building by the Thames . 'The last thing we want is a Sheikh and his kids roaring in and out of a great big car park everyday. ‘If it’s as bad as we think it’s going to be, the whole area will be spoilt.’ Plans for the land were submitted by Smech Management Company, which is also behind the Sheikh’s proposed 16-bedroom mansion in the Scottish Highlands. Planning proposal: Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, one of the world’s richest men, is looking to build a six-storey car park to house his fleet . The planning application was approved by councillors at Wandsworth Borough Council. No figure was given for the cost, but construction sources estimated it would cost about £4million to build up, three times as much to excavate the basements, and another ‘couple of million’ for any finishing touches, making an estimated total of nearly £20million. However the source said: ‘That’s just the basic structure. Obviously it will be a lot more if he’s planning to cover it in marble.’

Summary: Car park will be next to Battersea heliport so Sheik can fly in . Will feature two basement floors and six levels above ground . Neighbours worried about volume of traffic it will bring to area . They say his enormous wealth should not be put before local needs .

Not one but two very familiar faces will be ranged against Andy Murray on the support benches as he revisits one of the most highly charged matches of his career. Tomas Berdych is his opponent in the semi-final of the Miami Open, the man Murray met — and eventually beat — at the same stage of the Australian Open in January. It was a match that had everything, with even the saintly Kim Sears caught uttering profanities in the direction of the Czech powerhouse. Andy Murray will have to cope with seeing two of his former team in the opposite corner in Miami . Fitness trainer Jez Green (left) and coach Danny Vallverdu left Murray to join Tomas Berdych's team . There is no love lost on the tour between the British No 1 and his Czech opponent Berdych (right) Much of the build-up to that fractious encounter centred on the fact it was a reunion between Murray and his close friend and assistant coach Dani Vallverdu, who had switched jobs to work with world No 9 Berdych. Now there is the added presence of Murray’s former fitness trainer Jez Green, with whom he spent so many painstaking hours becoming a super athlete, following Vallverdu into the Berdych camp while also working with the outstanding German teenager Alex Zverev. By the time they met in Melbourne there had been endless references to people failing to pull in the same direction when on Murray’s team. It is fairly clear that meant disagreements over training methods and other matters. Murray's fiance Kim Sears was caught shouting expletives towards Berdych at the Australian Open . Murray and Berdych meet at the net after the Brit's semi-final victory in Melbourne in January . Murray, who after one break in Melbourne pointedly celebrated straight at Vallverdu, admits the Australian match was difficult due to the intensity of the friendships. However, he insists that tension has now dissipated. ‘We chat most days when we’re in the locker room and stuff,’ said the Scot. ‘In Melbourne it was a bit awkward but now I feel I’m past that. We’ve moved on.’ He admits to not being close to Berdych. And that has not changed. Murray reached the last four in Key Biscayne after a three-set defeat of rising prospect Dominic Thiem .

The Portuguese tactician, speaking to Sky Sports after his side's win, said: 'In football we have to take risks and as a manager if we have a tough result then I have to make decisions such as bring Costa on in the game. 'All the scans they did two days ago said the muscle was clean, the image was clean and he trained 100 per cent for two days. He did more in those training sessions then he did in the game, he took lots of shots. 'The player was convinced he was ready, not for 90 minutes, but he was ready to play and to help the team. Costa looks in pain after pulling up at Stamford Bridge during Chelsea's 2-1 win over Stoke City . Jose Mourinho was happy to have gambled with Costa's fitness despite losing the striker after 10 minutes . 'Sometimes as a manager I have to risk things. Medical departments have to do the same, if they want to be top medical departments like our department is. 'The safe medical department cannot work with me. People with fear, afraid to risk, cannot work with me. 'My medical department is fantastic, they do fantastically well for us. 'Today between them and the player and myself, things didn't happen the best way, but I'm happy with that, because it's football." 'If we were 2-0 or 3-0 up we planned not to use him until next week but we had to take that risk. He looks to be out for a couple of weeks minimum but I'm glad we got the points.'

Awaiting his execution in a six-by-eight foot death row cell, Christian Longo believes he can no longer be redeemed for his horrific crimes. The father-of-three was sentenced to death for murdering his family, stuffing them in suitcases and dumping their bodies in coastal bays in Oregon in December 2001 to 'escape the shackles of domestic life'.

Then the remains of his wife, Mary Jane, 34, and a third sibling Madison, two were retrieved on December 27. The pair were found stuffed inside a suitcase weighted down by dumbbells. As soon as the bodies were found in coastal areas near the family's condominium, Longo became the prime suspect.
