A quick-thinking 10-year-old helped deliver her baby sister at home using vital tips from television's 'One Born Every Minute' - after she secretly watched the programme against her parents' wishes. Trinity Culley, from Fingringhoe, Essex, used the knowledge she gained from watching the baby-birthing programme which she secretly viewed in her bedroom after her mother told her it was too graphic. But when her mother Dee Culley's waters broke two weeks ahead of schedule, she sprang into action. Trinity Culley (second from left), pictured with her mother Dee and siblings Samuel (left), Jade (right) and Jasmin Elizabeth-Rose, who she delivered when her mother went into labour two weeks early .

Mrs Culley said: 'My waters had broken and my husband was on the phone to get his mum to take us to hospital. 'But by the time she got here, the baby had already been born. 'When it all started happening, Trinity turned to me and said: "It's OK mum, I have seen One Born Every Minute. I'll go get the towels." 'She was just amazing. Words can't express how proud I am of her. I think a lot girls of her age would not have been so calm and known what to do.' The 10-year-old used the knowledge she gained from watching One Born Every Minute to deliver her baby sister (pictured together) Mrs Culley said she has since given her daughter a ticking off for secretly watching 'One Born Every Minute', the series set on a hospital's labour ward.

Mrs Culley, who now has four children, described how her husband was on the phone to the 999 operator as she gave birth. She added: 'They asked him: "How far along is she?" and I could hear him saying: "She's got two weeks left". 'Then he was saying: "I can see a face, oh and there's a body". An ambulance arrived between five and ten minutes later, but we had pretty much done everything for them.' She and her newborn baby were checked over, but neither needed treatment. The couple have four children - Trinity, Jade, 2, Samuel, 1, and their new arrival Jasmin Elizabeth Rose, who was born on March 31.

Raheem Sterling is at the centre of a second drugs controversy after the Liverpool forward was videoed passing out after inhaling nitrous oxide. The England international, who was also exposed on Sunday after he was caught puffing on a shisha pipe, will face at club investigation over why he was taking the legal high, which is also known as ‘hippy crack’. In the footage Sterling is seen sucking on an orange balloon then laughing and giggling before he asks one of his friends to give him another hit. Raheem Sterling has been filmed apparently inhaling nitrous oxide - also known as 'hippy crack' The video shows him smiling and breathing in gas from a balloon before apparently passing out . When the camera pans back to the 20-year-old, he is either unconscious or has fallen asleep. It is claimed that the video, obtained by The Sun, was taken at his home in Southport in the days before a game. Nitrous oxide starves the brain of oxygen and makes users feel light-headed and dizzy. Sterling scored in last night’s 2-0 victory over Newcastle United but he also missed a chance from six yards in the 56th minute and could now face disciplinary action after his second indiscretion in the space of 24 hours. Liverpool forward Raheem Sterling can be seen pictured on social media whilst smoking a shisha pipe . Sterling scored the opening goal in Monday night’s 2-0 victory over Newcastle . Nitrous Oxide, has been nicknamed ‘laughing gas’ due to the euphoric and relaxed feeling people who inhale it can sometimes feel. The gas is normally bought in pressured canisters, commonly transferred to a container, e.g. a balloon, from which the gas is inhaled. Nitrous oxide is not illegal to possess, but this doesn’t mean that it is safe to use. The effects of nitrous oxide vary depending on how much has been inhaled but they include: . • Feelings of euphoria, relaxation and calmness. • Dizziness, difficulty in thinking straight and fits of giggles/laughter. • Sound distortions or even hallucinations. • In some people, a headache can be an unwanted immediate effect. Risks include: . • Unconsciousness or death from lack of oxygen. This occurs when the available oxygen for breathing is effectively pushed out by the nitrous oxide. A Liverpool spokesman said: ‘We are aware of the story and intend to speak to the player. Any subsequent action will be taken internally.’ Sportsmail contacted Sterling’s agent, Aidy Ward, last night. He refused to comment on the story but did not deny that it was his client. A small pocket of Liverpool fans on The Kop vented their frustrations at last night’s game, chanting ‘Raheem Sterling, your agent’s a k***’ during the first half. They were widely applauded. Asked if he will be reminding Sterling of his responsibilities, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said: ‘I will do. He’s a young kid who has been in the spotlight now so he knows the demands of being a top class professional — it’s not just on the field it’s off the field, but

A four-year-old boy got trapped in an arcade game after climbing in to the 'claw' machine when he failed to win a teddy. Henry Howes narrowly failed to pick up a Despicable Me toy as he played the notoriously difficult claw game at his local swimming pool in Tamworth, Staffordshire. Desperate to get to his hands on the teddy, he put his hand inside the machine's hatch - but when he reached too far, he slipped under the trap door and was stuck inside. Scroll down for video . Trapped: Henry Howes got stuck inside an arcade game at the Snowdome in Tamworth, Staffordshire . Grumpy: But the four-year-old was unhurt after spending half an hour trapped in the machine . Luckily, his nine-year-old brother Harvey witnessed the accident, so was able to run and call their mother Emma. She alerted staff at the Snowdome leisure centre, but Henry was trapped for half an hour as workers looked for the key to the machine. Mrs Howes, 33, said: 'He asked if he could have a go on the teddy machine so I gave him £1 and told him to go with his big brother. 'Off they went round the corner and then his brother came back and said, "Henry is stuck in the machine." I assumed he meant his hand - I didn't think he'd be inside the machine. He was completely inside it! 'He had picked the teddy up with the claw and it had dropped with the teddy's leg hanging over the edge. Struggle: It took workers half an hour to free Henry as they searched for the keys to the machine . Free at last: Henry eventually made his way out of the machine - and got to keep the cuddly toy . 'He opened up the hatch and reached up to get it and when his bottom got under the hatch door it just flipped down. It came down on him.' She added: 'I don't know how he managed to get in there. He's only four but he's a tall lad. 'I was laughing my head off. I could see that he was fine and he wasn't upset. 'I had to go to the reception and tell them my son was stuck in the machine. They couldn't believe it either. He was in there for a good half an hour.' Henry had previously gone for a swimming lesson with Harvey, and was waiting for his sister Scarlett, seven, to finish her class when he got stuck in the machine. Relief: Henry's mother Emma said she could tell that the young boy was unhurt while in the machine . Venue: Henry had just finished a swimming lesson at the Snowdome in Tamworth, pictured . As staff hunted for the keys, Mrs Howes tried to encourage Henry to open the machine from the inside, but he refused because he didn't want to release the teddy from his grasp. 'They tried to take one side off but they couldn't find the keys,' she said. 'We were asking him to reach up

The family of an Illinois man slain during a botched robbery say they fear for their lives after the killer escaped from jail earlier week after beating a guard unconscious and stealing his uniform and SUV. As the manhunt continues, Nelson Williams Sr. of Kankakee, says he is worried that 23-year-old Kamron Taylor, the man convicted of his son Nelson Jr's murder, might attack him. 'As I go home every night, I figure he might ambush me like he did my son,' he told WLS-TV on Thursday. In a courthouse outburst in February, Taylor threatened the family minutes after hearing the guilty verdict. Williams, 48, says Taylor shouted, 'I'm going to get you mother*******.' Scroll down for video . In fear for his life: Nelson Williams Sr (left), the father of a murder victim, says he is scared his son's convicted killer, Kamron T. Taylor (right) will go after him after his daring prison break . Not going quietly: In this photo taken in February, Taylor was removed from a Kankakee County courtroom after struggling with the deputies and yelling at the Nelson family in the crowd, ' I'm going to get you, mother*******' Taylor, who has a history of escape attempts, fled from the Jerome Combs Detention Center in Kankakee at about 3am Wednesday. He somehow escaped from his cell, hid inside the facility, then beat and choked the guard who was making rounds, said Kankakee County Sheriff Timothy Bukowski. Taylor, a 23-year-old from Kankakee, is considered armed and dangerous, the sheriff said. He was convicted of first-degree murder in February in the June 2013 death of Nelson Williams Jr, 21, and faces a sentence of 45 years to life in prison. Sheriff's officials believe someone may be helping Taylor hide. They warned the public that harboring a fugitive is a criminal offense that will be prosecuted. A $7,500 reward is now being offered for information leading to Taylor's arrest. Twenty-eight officers have fanned out across the county, searching dozens of residences with the help of dogs and surveillance helicopters above. Analysts from the Illinois State Police have been mapping out lists of Taylor's relatives and associates, examining his past phone conversations and jail visitation records to help lead investigators to probable locations where the fugitive might be hiding out. As of Friday morning, officers armed with rifles have searched about 50 home in eastern Illinois . Bukowski said investigators were also considering the possibility that Taylor could have fled elsewhere. Besides hunting him down, investigators were eager to determine how Taylor got free in what was the first successful escape from the decade-old lockup housing about 450 detainees. Escaped: The 23-year-old Taylor was awaiting sentencing for the June 2013 murder of Nelson Williams Jr, 21 (right), when authorities say he beat a guard into unconsciousness, took his keys and uniform and sped off in his SUV .

Former Young Divas singer Kate DeAraugo has made the shock revelation she turned to drugs and took anything she could get her hands on to mask her crippling depression after gaining considerable weight. Speaking on KIIS 106.5's The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Friday, the Australian Idol winner spoke out about her battle with mental health, and the surgery she had to help her lose a staggering 68kg.

It's always been up and down but after that I really lost the plot and I just ate myself into a mess,' she added.

She replied: 'Everything and anything. I was out of control in every aspect of my life.' 'You were masking your pain with whatever you could?' Kyle asked, to which the singer said 'yes' and went on to agree when he suggested there were times when she would wake up not knowing where she was.

She explained: 'There was so much stuff going on at that time and I was a bit broken by it, I think. I thought, I can't get this right, it's not working, stuff it and I gave up on myself.'

Billy Joe Saunders and Chris Eubank Jnr could rematch in under six weeks after the pair reignited their war of words at a London press conference on Thursday. The pair clashed in a memorable 12-round grudge match on November 29 with British, Commonwealth and European middleweight champions Saunders handing his rival his first career defeat. Now the duo are both set to fight at Wembley Arena on May 9 but not against each other. As it stands, Eubank will be making the first defence of his WBA interim belt while Saunders will have a warm-up 'international contest' ahead of his challenge for the WBO middleweight title mooted for July.

Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren initially played down the chances of the pair fighting in May, but later said he would work on trying to get the fight on . But this show has been scheduled in a bid to build up a rematch between them, with promoter Frank Warren suggesting an autumn rematch. However they kicked off their verbal sparring in a fiery press conference and Eubank challenged Saunders to go straight ahead and fight him on May 9. And, despite having a guaranteed world title shot lined up against the winner of next week's New York clash between Andy Lee v Peter Quillin, Saunders took the bait. Saunders said: 'You want to fight on May 9? I'll tell you what we'll do, Frank can double my purse for the world title and I will fight Chris no problem. It will be on my terms because I've got the win. I'm the champion.' Eubank and Saunders have had a long standing rivalry and Saunders won when the pair met in November . Warren, who was sat between them, was startled by the agreement and initially laughed it off. But afterwards the Hall of Fame promoter revealed he will now attempt to drive through a shock deal for an early rematch. However he does have concerns about staging the fight at Wembley Arena and may seek to make the fight at a bigger venue – possibly even a football stadium if they are able to push the date back into the closed season. Warren said: 'Listen, if I could get that on for May 9, that would be on, I can assure you but we are limited by the fact it is Wembley Arena. Saunders is due to fight at Wembley arena on May 9 on the same card as Eubank Jnr . Saunders is keen to get back in the ring with Saunders and get revenge for his professional defeat .

Labour appeared split on its proposed new 50p top rate of income tax today after shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna said it should only be a temporary measure. Mr Umunna, increasingly tipped as a likely successor to Ed Miliband, said he was opposed to 'taxing for the sake of taxing'. His remarks highlighted divisions in Labour's top ranks over the 50p rate, introduced for the last few weeks of Gordon Brown's government as a trap for the Tories. Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna, increasingly tipped as a likely successor to Ed Miliband, said he was opposed to 'taxing for the sake of taxing . When George Osborne reduced it to 45p, arguing the rate was deterring businesspeople and ‘wealth creators’, Labour railed against what it has ever since called a 'millionaires' tax cut'. In fact, the rate applied to income over £150,000, and Labour has said it will reintroduce it if re-elected. The Scottish National Party has pledged to vote in favour of a 50p top rate if it holds the balance of power after May 7. But Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls is said to want the new top rate to be temporary, while Mr Miliband is more ideologically wedded to maintaining it. During the Labour leadership race in 2010, Mr Miliband said the 50p rate should stay in place and was 'not just about reducing the deficit, it’s about fairness in our society'. Today, in an interview with with the New Statesman magazine, shadow business secretary Mr Umunna broke ranks to insist that how long to sustain the measure should be a purely economic decision and not a moral one. 'I wouldn’t want to do it permanently because ... I would like to see the tax burden as low as possible,' he said. 'I don’t believe that you tax for the sake of taxing: you tax to fund public services and, currently, to reduce our deficit and our debt. 'I'm very clear: I did not go into politics to tax people. We should be very clear about that as a party.' Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls, speaking in Birmingham today, is said to want the new top rate to be temporary, while Mr Miliband is more ideologically wedded to maintaining it . During the Labour leadership race in 2010, Ed Miliband - pictured campaigning in north London today, said the 50p rate should stay in place and was 'not just about reducing the deficit, it’s about fairness in our society' Mr Umunna also argued that Labour needs to make a more positive and confident case for reducing the deficit in order to cope with the Left-wing backlash it would encounter in office. 'I don't think there is anything progressive in spending more on your debt interest repayments every year than you do on housing, than you do on transport,' he said. 'That is where there is an argument from a progressive position to be made for balancing the books. We need to make that argument and we need to make it more confidently. 'Because if we get elected . . . we're

Summary: Mr Umunna said he was opposed to 'taxing for the sake of taxing' Business Secretary said re-introduction of the rate should be temporary . His remarks highlighted divisions in Labour's top ranks over the 50p rate . Ed Miliband said the 50p top rate of tax was 'about fairness in our society'


A 25-year-old is facing jail on fraud charges after she allegedly faked having terminal cancer to her family and friends. Meaghan Hudson, 25, left those closest to her devastated when she sent text messages in December 2013, saying she was suffering from multiple myeloma, a type of cancer which forms in the bone marrow, and she was unlikely to survive. Miss Hudson's friends, who have known her since high school in Dayton, Ohio, went to great lengths to show their support - they shaved their heads in solidarity for her chemo and got matching tattoos of an inspirational song lyric. Scroll down for video . The nursing student raised $5,000 through a fundraising website after telling family and friends that she was suffering from cancer . Meaghan Hudson (pictured left) said she had multiple myeloma in 2013. Close friends (including Chelsey Whild, right) rushed to support her, even shaving their heads in solidarity and getting tattoos . The 25-year-old, who lives in Chula Vista, California, also had a fundraising website set up for her by her stepmother, Margaret Hudson. Well-wishers sent $5,000 towards her 'medical expenses' and high school friend Chelsey Whild also told NBC that a further $2,000 was raised for Meaghan at a bowling alley event. Miss Whild, who was one of a group of friends who shaved her head and got a tattoo, added: 'At one point there was the understanding that she may have had less than a year to live.' Meaghan's sister, Haley Hudson, said that Meaghan's closest family had also been deceived and they took her stories of doctor's appointments as the truth, unable to verify the information because they live in a different state. However Haley said that some details jarred with Meaghan's version of events. She told 10 News: 'Little stuff, like the fact that her hair grew back pretty thick and usually with cancer patients it doesn't.' Her sister believes that Meaghan's alleged stunt was a cry for attention. Last July, Meaghan's story fell apart after an anonymous tip was made to the Chula Vista Police Department saying that she didn't really have cancer. Police said the 25-year-old admitted to faking the disease. On August 23rd last year, Meaghan's stepmother, who lives in Texas, posted an emotional apology on Give Forward. She wrote: 'I am saddened, embarrassed, and ashamed to have to give you this news, especially via email. 'You are receiving this message because you contributed to the cancer fundraiser back in December 2013 for Meaghan Hudson. We have recently learned that Meaghan does not have cancer. While initially that sounds like good news (and it is in many ways), she has deceived her family and friends into believing she has been suffering from multiple myeloma for over a year now. Meaghan and friends got inspirational tattoos with the words 'sing on' after she told them that she was suffering from cancer in December 2013 .

'Secret stuff': Ivana Chubbuck, 62, is a part therapist and part acting coach, known as the 'celebrity whisperer' She is known as the 'celebrity whisperer', a woman whose astonishing skill in honing Hollywood talent made an icon out of a man who used to stand on street corners dressed as a chicken. Today, Brad Pitt is known the world over. Ivana Chubbuck's client list includes Eva Mendes, Charlize Theron, Gerard Butler, Halle Berry, Sharon Stone and many others. So powerful are her methods, she reduced Beyoncé Knowles to tears within five minutes. And within months, the singer was topping the charts with Single Ladies. Part therapist, part acting coach, and very Hollywood, Chubbuck, 62, runs a hugely successful drama school in Los Angeles. She hosts workshops around the globe, as well as in the wood-panelled library of her £3 million home. Beyoncé went to Chubbuck when she was about to play legendary soul singer Etta James in the movie Cadillac Records and was looking to be taken seriously as an artist. Despite her professional success, Beyoncé was also at what she termed 'a pivotal point' in her life. 'I'm about empowering people,' Chubbuck told The Mail on Sunday in a rare interview – one which goes much further into her methods, and her clients' responses, than she usually allows. 'Beyoncé is a black girl from the South, that is her world. Like everyone else on the planet, she has issues. But once she faced those issues and realised she could use them in a positive way in her art, she flourished.' Apparently it's all about the 'secret stuff' that Chubbuck's clients tell her. Certainly it is well known that Beyoncé's relationship with her domineering father has been fractured for years. 'I told her to open up, to really get in touch with her feelings and what was going on inside her,' Chubbuck said. 'She started to feel her secret stuff and we start having a dialogue about it and she became emotional. We were crying together. She tapped into that well of pain inside her. 'She rang me up after we'd worked together on the movie and said, 'Listen to my new record – it's all the stuff you taught me.' And that's when she came out with Single Ladies and all the great female empowerment songs. The little pop star turned into a global icon.'

Lib Dem campaigner Michelle Gent used her party's constituency headquarters for her bondage and porn film business . A Liberal Democrat campaigner has been exposed as a dominatrix who used the party's constituency headquarters for her bondage and porn film business. Michelle Gent directed and starred in violent films featuring whips, chains, swords and scantily clad women before selling the videos online. The former Lib Dem councillor, 50, used the party's offices in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, to hold auditions for the sordid films. Some of the clips show women bound with leather straps, while others show girls drenched in fake blood. A source told Matthew Drake, for the Sunday Mirror, that actors at auditions for one of Ms Gent's films, The Exorcist Chronicles, were told to 'prepare for anything'. The source, who walked out of an audition, said: 'They were pushing people to be more and more extreme. Michelle acted like an X Factor judge. 'There were girls flashing, pretending to play with themselves, screaming, faking orgasms and kissing each other in the hope they would be picked for the lead role.' Ms Gent, a grandmother-of-one, explained the plot of the film during an interview for a bizarre movie reviews website. She said: 'The movie is about a spate of demonic possessions. The Vatican are getting worried about the frightening increase in occurrences of the possessions and need to do something about it.

Amy Johnson, from Sydney, said outside court on Thursday: 'We checked our food and all the chips were not even in the cups.' The 38-year-old mother saw red and is now facing serious assault charges after she allegedly grabbed the young woman by the neck and scratched her face. Appearing at Newtown court, in Sydney's inner west, on Thursday, she said she became aggressive because the fries had spilled out of their containers and the McDonald's worker used her hands to put them back in the packet. 'We gave the bag back and said, can you please place them in a cup?,' Ms Johnson told Channel Nine News. 'She put her hands in the bag, no gloves or nothing, picked up the chips and shoved them in the boxes and gave back the bag and that's when we got angry and we threw the bag back and said "make us new chips".'

The assault allegedly happened after her $60 order went wrong. When she received her food from the 16-year-old girl at the drive-through hatch, the woman allegedly threw it back into the window and demanded a new order.

The polls predict the Lib Dems face a bloodbath on election day, with dozens of their MPs fighting for their survival. But the metaphor became all too real for Stephen Gilbert when he was bitten by a dog while campaigning for re-election in Cornwall. He joked that the dog had 'unresolved anger issues' after posting a photograph online of his bloodstained hand. Lib Dem Stephen Gilbert posted this image online of his bloodied hand after being bitten by a dog on the campaign . Mr Gilbert is defending a majority of just 1,312 in St Austell and Newquay, and Lib Dem insiders today admitted the party is on course to lose at least 20 MPs on May 7. His run-in with the dog happened while canvassing this morning. The animal took a lump out of his right hand as he posted a leaflet through a letterbox. He posted a photo of his injury on Twitter. It showed him wiping away the blood with his handkerchief and the message: 'Am guessing this dog had unresolved anger issues.' But undeterred by the injury, and perhaps recognising that the Tories pose a bigger threat to his survival, he planned to return to the streets this afternoon. A Liberal Democrat spokesman said he was delivering a leaflets through doors at the time. He said: 'He was out in the constituency delivering a leaflet through a letter box when the dog bit him. It is a hazard of the job and all politicians are vulnerable to it. 'Stephen has been treated at the minor injuries unit at the local hospital this morning and has been bandaged up with a few painkillers. He will be back on the campaign trail this afternoon.' Mr Gilbert joked that the dog had 'unresolved anger issues' after posting a photograph online of his bloodstained hand . A quarter of MPs have admitted to being chased or bitten by a dog while out campaigning for re-election, a study showed earlier this month. Cornwall is a major battleground for the Lib Dems, with three seats coming under heavy fire from the Tories. Nick Clegg today continued his tour of 60 seats where the party is defending perilous majorities or hope to make gains, stopping off in Hampshire where the Lib Dems held Eastleigh after Chris Huhne was jailed. But behind the scenes, senior party sources admit their current total of 57 MPs will be slashed to 'in the thirties' after a catastrophic collapse in support. Mr Clegg today admitted that his party was fighting 'tooth and nail' in fewer than a tenth of Westminster seats. Instead of battling to win seats across the country, the party has highly targeted strategy, effectively fighting 60 by-elections in constituencies where his candidates stand a chance. A party source said if the party had a group of MPs numbering 'in the 30s' it could potentially hold the balance of power after May 7 and be able to once again form part of a coalition government. The senior Lib Dem, closely involved in the party's election strategy, said the

The family of a two-year-old boy shot and killed in his home have been left outraged after a local newspaper used his death for a political cartoon about gun culture. Kaden Lum was gunned down in Bremerton, Washington, on March 28, in front of his mother by an unidentified suspect who is still on the run. Heather Kelso, who was sharing a room with the youngster's mother, Jalisa, was also killed while a neighbor visiting at the time was shot in the abdomen. Just two weeks on from the horrific incident, the Kitsap Sun printed the controversial illustration on their opinion page. It depicts Kaden as an angel next to a caricature of a devil dressed as Uncle Sam. Kaden Lum was gunned down by an unidentified suspect at his home in Bremerton, Washington, on March 28 . The controversial cartoon depicts Kaden as an angel next to a caricature of a devil dressed as Uncle Sam . The wording above the cartoon of the boy reads: 'Since Kaden is an angel, then…' while 'America's gun culture' is written over the top of the devil. The boy's grandfather believes the decision to print the cartoon, designed by veteran cartoonist Milt Priggee, was in 'bad taste'. Jason Trammell, 51, told KING 5-TV that he has probably cried more times in the last fortnight than he has in 40 years. He said: 'It was in very bad taste. It was disrespectful and it was not in line with honoring my grandson's memory. The editor of the paper, Dave Nelson, defended the decision in an op-ed. 'The intent behind our commentary might be to provoke thought, but it shouldn't be to harm,' he wrote. 'I don't believe Milt [Priggee] was intending to hurt a family, though I acknowledge the pain that's followed. It's a tough one. In the cartoon, Kaden was portrayed as an angel. The boy's heartbroken father James Trammell (right) questioned what person had the 'audacity' to shoot a child and then run away . The boy's mother Jalisa Lum was also inside the home at the time of the shooting and desperatley tried to shield her son. She was not hurt . 'That portrayal isn't hurtful. You see a precious angel that a family lost and who our community shouldn't forget, just like we shouldn't forget the vexing problems that lead to tragedy.' He added that there had been a range of reactions to the illustration. The most emotional however was from Kaden's family who met Nelson to express their disgust. 'The strongest [reaction] was from a few family members of Kaden, who Monday and again Tuesday spoke with me in person passionately, angrily and with despair over the loss of the little boy and their feelings toward the cartoon and the Kitsap Sun,' Nelson wrote. 'I understand their anger, and I'm sorry that something we published led to more sorrow in a difficult time. 'Would things have been different if the cartoon published a week later, after more time to heal? If the baby wasn't illustrated so accurately? 'Was there another

Vassilis was born in a boat. His mother was trying to make it from her home on the island of Ammouliani, only a mile across the Aegean, to the mainland. But she was too late. And so a boy came into this world at sea, and there was only one life he was fated to live. A snooze in the sunshine: The Eagles Palace hotel is a fine escape zone for family holidays . Today, tall and bronzed, like a warrior from the legions of Alexander the Great, Vassilis is at the wheel of a speedboat thrumming across the sparkling seas off the Mount Athos peninsula in north-eastern Greece. As we fly along like a turbo-charged bronco, dolphins breach the surface and plunge below, and then a sea turtle, almost 5ft long, slides alongside. Vassilis's eyes instinctively scan the water — and then he shouts with delight. The man who has sailed these waters all his life hasn't seen a turtle here in 25 years. Vassilis is the boatman at the Eagles Palace, a long-established family hotel designed to look a little like one of the many monasteries further along the coast. It is 90 minutes' drive from the airport at Thessaloniki, along a road that meanders through olive groves and low-lying wooded valleys, into a corner of Greece that is a world away from the fleshpots of the party islands far to the south. We are afforded the warmest of welcomes. Out of the blue: The Eagles Palace hotel occupies a pristine location 90 minutes' drive from Thessaloniki . Set on tumbling levels down to its own beach, the hotel is a labyrinth of terrace restaurants (serving food and wine from local farms, vineyards and its very own olive grove), cooling courtyards, beach bars and a large saltwater pool. The beach itself shelves gently into water, which is astonishingly clear because the Aegean sweeps into the bay and then out again every 20 minutes. There is a kids' club, though it seems more suited to children younger than our son, Mike, 11, and daughter Alice, seven. Pavlos is the man if you want to take out a sea kayak or do some light paddle-boarding or more strenuous mountain-biking. Taken for a ride: Guests can head out on jetskis - although watersports at the hotel are not entirely cheap . Unlike most dudes you meet at a watersports hut, he has an MBA from New York - oh, and he runs ultra-marathons, too. He does a brilliant job of shepherding Mike on his first sea kayak outing, helping him to steer his boat nimbly around rocks jutting from the sea bed. Pavlos has just introduced a specialist course for children, which will see them developing their skills on the water as the week goes on. If Pavlos is the urbane young face of adventure sports, Mr Dinos, the watersports supremo, is the salty sea dog who looks as though he might have sailed in his youth with Odysseus. Crucial credentials: Eagles Palace is an awarded member of the Small Luxury Hotels of

Summary: The Eagles Palace is fringed by soft beaches on the Mount Athos peninsula . The Greek resort boasts 164 rooms, which all have a balcony or terrace . Relax in the award-winning spa or order drinks via a button on your sunbed .


Women paid 62p an hour in Mauritius to make ‘feminist’ T-shirts have been beaten by police during protests over pay and conditions at their ‘sweatshop’ factory. Dozens of workers at the factory – exposed by The Mail on Sunday for its low wages and prison-like accommodation for women making the ‘This Is What A Feminist Looks Like’ T-shirts – have been sacked and deported for staging what bosses called ‘an illegal strike’. At the end of a peaceful three-day protest, Bangladeshi migrant workers – who produce clothes for Whistles, Topshop and Next – were surrounded by officers who charged at them, hitting out with batons, before dragging the screaming women away. Scroll down for video . Beaten: Workers were treated roughly by police during protests over pay and conditions at their ‘sweatshop’ factory . As many as 1,800 workers at the Compagnie Mauricienne de Textile (CMT) factory went on strike last week about their pay, harsh treatment, food and concerns about a missing worker. Now 69 of the women have been deported to Bangladesh and scores more now fear for their jobs. Whistles, in partnership with feminist charity The Fawcett Society and Elle magazine, enlisted the factory to make the £45 T-shirts last year and they were proudly worn by Labour leader Ed Miliband, his deputy Harriet Harman and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. After this newspaper revealed the female workers’ poor pay and living conditions – they sleep 16 to a room – Whistles and The Fawcett Society defended the factory, claiming it conformed to ‘ethical standards’. Exposed: The 62p-an-hour factory where 'This is what a feminist looks like' T-shirt was made . But last night, Whistles and Topshop announced investigations, while Next cancelled its orders from the factory. A Labour spokesman condemned the violence. One Bangladeshi worker, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said: ‘Police charged at us, beating us with sticks. We started screaming and running. They hit us and dragged some of the women away. I’m really scared I’ll be deported as well. If I lose my job, my family will be ruined.’ Fighting back tears, she lifted the lid on life inside the factory, revealing that employees were told by bosses to lie to auditors about their working conditions or face being sacked. She said they are often forced to work from 7.30am until 11pm to meet unreasonable targets of making 300 garments a day. She added that the women, who work six-day weeks, are not paid for all of their overtime. The strike was sparked after factory worker Nazma Aktear went missing on March 26 following a hospital visit. Her colleagues grew increasingly worried when bosses failed to provide information about her whereabouts. They downed tools on Tuesday. The day after, as protests escalated, police and government ministers ordered the employees back to work. A dedicated band of 200 women continued the strike on Thursday despite Miss Aktear being found. Bosses paraded a frail Miss Aktear in front of the protesters and repeated orders for them to return to work. But the workers, who receive less

'I saw my family and friends right behind the green, and at that point knew that it was going to be a done deal,' he said. 'To be honest, it didn't kick in there, it still hasn't kicked in. I'm still kind of in shock a little bit. 'I'm sure it'll settle in maybe a little later but it was really great to share that experience with my family who weren't there any of the couple of times I had one so to be at this one was special.'

Online and front-end retailers are seeing record sales of Pacquiao T-shirts, boxing gloves, figurines, caps and jackets, with buyers stocking up on items they believe could at least double in value if he wins what is the highest grossing bout in history. 'Many are buying because prices might rise further if Manny wins. So while the fight is still days away, they are already buying these items,' said 50-year-old Carolyn Yap-Tan, who has been selling Pacquiao items online for four years. A fan looks at boxing gloves signed by Manny Pacquiao on sale for 3,000 Philippine pesos (£45) per pai . Retailers are struggling to meet demand and prices are rising heavily for Pacquiao items in the Philippines . Yap-Tan said her sales via Ebay have jumped 10 times since February when the megafight, which took five years to arrange, was confirmed. Prices of Pacquiao-autographed boxing gloves, the best-selling item, have also risen at least 50 per cent, said Yap-Tan, with buyers coming mostly from the United States, and a few from Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom. The Team Pacquiao store, owned by the boxer himself with branches in Manila and the southern Philippine city of General Santos, has seen its sales nearly triple, a record not seen during Pacquiao's previous fights. 'If we only had more stocks, we could report more sales,' said Team Pacquiao sales representative Honey Gervacio. Carlo Libut, an Australia-born Filipino and a Pacquiao fan, bought 4000-pesos (£59.50) autographed boxing gloves for his collection at the Team Pacquiao store. 'First of all, I love the sport, boxing. And my whole family loves it, my dad loves it, and I'm a big fan of Manny Pacquiao,' he said. Hats, shirts, gloves and many other items are on sale ahead of Pacquiao's fight with Floyd Mayweather . Online Pacquiao item seller Carolyn Yap-Tan says sales via Ebay have jumped 10 times . Even street vendors are making a killing selling lower-priced Pacquiao T-shirts, with vendors in the Divisoria district in downtown Manila saying customers often buy by the dozens. The Philippines widely regard Pacquiao, also an elected congressman, actor, TV game show host, recording artist, and a player-coach in professional basketball locally, as a national idol. Thousands of fans often pack covered gymnasiums and public parks to watch free screenings of his fights on large LED screens throughout Manila and May 2 will be no different. Eight-division champion Pacquiao, 36, is seen as the underdog to 11-times five-division world boxing champion 'Money' Mayweather, 38. Pacquiao's followers, however, are convinced he will make history. 'I believe he will win, he will defeat Mayweather with his speed. Pacquiao is fast on the ring,' Yap-Tan said.

Summary: eBay retailer said prices for Manny Pacquiao items have risen 10 times since the fight with Floyd Mayweather was confirmed in February . Pacquiao-autographed boxing gloves have also risen 'at least 50 per cent' Sales tripled at Team Pacquiao store, owned by Manny, in General Santos . Pacquiao and Mayweather fight on May 2 in the richest bout in history .

Arrested: Doug Hughes was put under arrest for his gyro-copter stunt and charged with operating an unregistered aircraft and violating national airspace . The postal carrier who flew a gyrocopter onto the lawn of the U.S. Capitol is facing two criminal charges. But he's being released from federal custody to return to Florida. Doug Hughes made his initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Washington on Thursday. That's one day after he steered his tiny aircraft onto the Capitol's West Lawn after flying through restricted airspace around the National Mall. He was charged with operating an unregistered aircraft and violating national airspace. Hughes said it was a political protest. Hughes was released on his own recognizance afterward and instructed to check in weekly with authorities in Tampa starting next week. In a soft voice, Hughes appeared to ask the judge a clarifying question about that obligation but otherwise he did not say anything significant. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Thursday that the copter 'apparently literally flew in under the radar,' as concerned lawmakers questioned how it was allowed to happen and why. Johnson said it's too soon to say whether Wednesday's incident should prompt changes in security procedures. 'I want to know all the facts before I reach an assessment of what can and should be done about gyrocopters in the future,' he said. But lawmakers said the incident exposed a gap in security, especially amid revelations that the pilot, Florida postal worker Doug Hughes, was interviewed by the Secret Service almost two years ago. The agency apparently determined he did not pose a threat, said Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the senior Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Cummings spoke Thursday with the Secret Service director. 'I think that there's absolutely a gap, and it's a very dangerous gap, with regard to our airspace,' Cummings said. 'I don't want people to get a message that they can just land anywhere. Suppose there was a bomb or an explosive device on that air vehicle? That could have been a major catastrophe.' How'd it happen? Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Thursday that the copter 'apparently literally flew in under the radar,' as concerned lawmakers questioned how it was allowed to happen and why . Approach: The small gyro-copter (circled in red) lands on the West Lawn of the Capitol in Washington as members of the public walk by. The stunt hasn't cost him his freedom, yet, but means he must check in with authorities every week as he awaits trial . Johnson said the Secret Service passed along the information from the interview with Hughes, who was to appear in court Thursday afternoon, to 'all of the appropriate law enforcement agencies.' House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called the incident 'stunning.' 'What safeguards can we use? We don't want to be a place where we're saying `This is an iron-clad Capitol.' And have such restrictions on people having access to it,' Pelosi told reporters. 'Nonetheless, we have to ensure the safety of those people.' The tiny, open-air aircraft landed

Summary: Doug Hughes appeared in U.S. District Court in Washington on Thursday, one day after he steered his tiny aircraft onto the Capitol's West Lawn . He was charged with operating an unregistered aircraft and violating national airspace before being released on his own recognizance . He was sent back to his Tampa home, where he must check in weekly with authorities starting next week .


An Afghan woman who was forced to marry her rapist and have his baby has revealed how she gave up all of her hopes and dreams to 'buy' her daughter's future. Known only by the name Gulnaz, the Kabul-based woman was only 16-years-old when she fell pregnant with the child of her depraved attacker Asadullah - who is also married to her cousin. Even though a rape led to her pregnancy, Gulnaz's brothers insisted she would not be allowed to return to her 'shamed' family as she was unmarried and a Kabul court sentenced her to two years in prison for 'adultery by force', later increased to 12 years following an appeal. The only hope of a reduced sentence was to marry Asadullah, which she did in early 2013. Now she is pregnant with his third child but insists she only agreed to marry her rapist so that her first daughter - named Smile - could live a shame-free life in the Afghan capital's 'traditional' society. Just over two years after Gulnaz married Asadullah, the couple agreed to a joint interview with CNN's Nick Paton Walsh. Victim: Known only by the name Gulnaz (left), the woman was only 16-years-old when she fell pregnant with Smile (centre) - the child of her rapist Asadullah (right) Agonising decision: Gulnaz said that she had married the man who had attacked her because she didn't want to ruin her daughter's life . Gulnaz said that her decision to marry the rapist was purely based on the fact her daughter, Smile, would have been unable to live a normal life in the Afghan capital without a father. Tragic: Gulnaz said that her decision to marry the rapist enabled Smile to live a normal life . 'I didn't want to ruin the life of my daughter or leave myself helpless so I agreed to marry him,' she said. 'We are traditional people. When we get a bad name, we prefer death to living with that name in society,' Gulnaz added, reportedly refusing to look her husband in the eye during the interview. Asadullah - who was jailed for the rape but subsequently had sentence reduced - appears totally remorseless about his crime. He insists that by agreeing to marry her, he actually 'rescued' Gulnaz. 'If I hadn't married her according to our traditions, she couldn't have lived back in society,' he said. 'Her brothers didn't want to accept her back. Now, she doesn't have any of those problems,' he added. Asadullah is still married to his first wife - Gulnaz's first cousin - with whom he has five children. In total seven children and three adults live in the family house. Gulnaz was found guilty of 'adultery by force' following the brutal attack in 2008. When the case came to court Gulnaz was sentenced to two years in jail, which was later increased to 12 years on appeal. A first release offer, which she eventually agreed to, stipulated she must marry her attacker. However her sentence was then cut to three years after a third appeal, and, according

Summary: Gulnaz fell pregnant after being attacked by a man called Asadullah in Kabul . She was rejected by her family and sentenced to 12 years in prison for 'adultery by force' Although that was later quashed, the unmarried mother was left an outcast . So to give her daughter Smile a normal life, she married Asadullah . In an exclusive interview with CNN, she described life with the rapist who is now her husband .

'I couldn’t believe it when she told me the cheap price – it was £45 for a full head, while some salons charge hundreds, or even thousands. 'Having struggled to grow my own hair and often experimenting with clip-ins, I soon found myself getting it done too. 'Being able to go to bed with perfect hair and wake up with it was a revelation. People would always comment on how nice it looked and I was hooked.' Miss Campbell said that after the extensions had gone their course, instead of going back to the same place that she had them done before, she decided to save time and go somewhere closer to home. Tina spent her 29th birthday in bandages after her hair extension nightmare (left and right) 'The stylist at the salon in Welling, South East London, did not fill me with confidence,' she said. 'She was vague when discussing the price, and simply waved me to sit down so she could start there and then. I could see the needles sitting on the side in blue antiseptic liquid. 'I didn’t have a great feeling about the place but I wanted them done for an event that night so I bit the bullet. 'They ended up charging me £100 – way more than last time.' However, Miss Campbell said that a few weeks after having them put in, her scalp started to itch unbearably and she started to notice small lumps forming. 'Concerned, I took them out, but the lumps – one on top of my head and a cluster lower down towards my neck – seemed to grow and harden,' she said. 'The doctor said they were boils,

The last two 'Doolittle Tokyo Raiders' presented the group's Congressional Gold Medal for permanent display at the National Museum of the US Air Force on Saturday, 73 years to the day after their daring bombing attack on Japan rallied Americans in World War II. Retired Lt Col Richard 'Dick' Cole, age 99, gave the medal to the museum's director in a ceremony at the museum attended by military and political officials and relatives of the original 80 Raiders. The medal, awarded by Congress earlier in the week, arrived in a ceremonial B-25 flight. Scroll down for video . Staff Sgt David Thacker (left) and Lt Col Richard Cole (right) presented the Doolittle medal during a ceremony . The last Tokyo Doolittle Raiders gave the Congressional Gold Medal to the National Museum of the US Air Force . The important medal, which was awarded by Congress earlier in the week, arrived in a ceremonial B-25 flight . Cole, a Dayton native, was mission leader and James 'Jimmy' Doolittle's co-pilot for the B-25 bombers' attack that stunned Japan and lifted American spirits less than five months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Last month, Lt Col Robert Hite (pictured), one of the three remaining Tokyo Doolittle Raiders, died after a battle with Alzheimer's disease at the age of 95 . Retired Staff Sgt David Thatcher, 93, came from Missoula, Montana, for the event, and said the medal was for all 80. Cole came from Comfort, Texas. Cole recalled wryly Saturday that on the evening of April 18, 1942, Thatcher was on the beach in China helping save his crew after a crash-landing, 'And I was hanging in my parachute in a tree.' Cole flew with Doolittle in plane No. 1 of the 16 launched from an aircraft carrier. Thatcher was engineer-gunner aboard the 7th plane, nicknamed 'The Ruptured Duck,' whose crew's crash-landing and evasion of Japanese troops in China was depicted in the movie Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. Thatcher, who was played by Robert Walker in the movie while Spencer Tracy portrayed Doolittle, chuckled as he recounted how the Raiders had given little thought at the time of the raid about earning a place in history. 'We figured it was just another bombing mission,' he said in a recent phone interview from his home. In the years afterward, though, he said, they realized: 'It was an important event in World War II.' Cole said: 'We proudly hand over our Congressional Gold Medal to [museum director retired Lt Gen] Jack Hudson, who we trust will respectfully guard it and have it securely displayed... for the world to see and appreciate.' Their medal will join the museum's diorama about their raid. Hudson has pledged their inspirational story 'will live on.' The Doolittle Raid, also known as the Tokyo Raid, on April 18, 1942, caused negligible material damage to Japan . The raid by the US boosted American morale in the wake of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 . Three Raiders have died since their 70th anniversary reunion at the museum in Ohio,
