A cat has been freed after spending 27 days trapped under a bath tub, it has been revealed. Simba was rescued by firefighters in Meckenheim, near Bonn, Germany, after a neighbour heard scratching in her newly refitted bathroom. Owners Helga and Eberhard Henkel had lost their pet in early March and had looked everywhere - even hanging up notices in surrounding streets. Lucky escape: Simba the cat was freed by firefigthers after spending 27 days trapped under a bath tub . Pet rescue: It is thought the animal had crawled under the floor boards as the bathroom was being renovated . But nearly four weeks later, a neighbour raised the alarm after hearing noises from under the bath. It is thought the animal had crawled under the floor as the bathroom was being renovated. According to The Local, Mrs Henkel told a local newspaper: 'It's a miracle, a gift. 'We looked everywhere for Simba, hung up notices, watched out for cats' eyes with a torch at night.' She said that Simba was showing the effects of not having eaten for four weeks - but that he had put back on 300 grammes. Owners Helga and Eberhard Henkel (pictured with Simba) had lost their pet in early March and had looked everywhere - even hanging up notices in surrounding streets . On the mend: Although Simba was 'traumatised' by his experience, he is quickly recovering and has put back on 300 grammes . 'He is skin and bones. You feel all the ribs, the backbone, Simba has fallen sharply and is traumatised,' Die Welt quotes her as saying. The Local quotes Professor Neigel an animal expert from Giessen, Germany, as saying cats were capable of surviving for long periods on only a small amount of water. He said that a month was still a long time for a cat to survive, but that it was not 'out of the ordinary'.

Summary: Simba went missing in early March in the town of Meckenheim, Germany . His owner's neighbour heard scratching in her bathroom four weeks later . The pet was freed by firefighters and is now starting to put weight back on .


The leader of a gang that attacked young girls in Sydney's southwest has been attacked by fellow inmates inside one of Australia's toughest prisons. Bilal Skaf was assaulted by three other inmates in the yard of Goulburn Correctional Centre on Friday. A Corrective Services statement confirmed a '33-year-old inmate' sustained minor head injuries and was treated in hospital before returning the same day. Sydney rape gang leader Bilal Skaf has been attacked by fellow inmates at Goulburn Correctional Ccomplex in NSW. He is pictured (in orange overalls) with his mother, Baria (right) inside Goulburn's Supermax prison on internal prison CCTV in 2002 when he tried to smuggle letters to his girlfriend out through Mrs Skaf . Bilal Skaf (left and right) was the leader of the rape gang which terrorised Sydney teenage girls on a four-week rampage before the 2000 Sydney Olympics for which he received a 46 year sentence and will be eligible for parole, if he behaves himself in prison and admits his crime, in 2033 . Gang rape leader Bilal Skaf pictured in the living room of his family home in Sydney's western suburbs posing with a firearm next to a photograph of his parents and siblings, including his younger brother Mohammed who was also convicted for the rapes and is serving 32 years in a cell shared with Bilal . 'Three inmates have been segregated while the investigation continues,' Corrective Services said. In 2002, Skaf was sentenced to 55 years' jail for his part in a series of gang rapes in Sydney's southwest. Skaf was one of 14 mostly Muslim Lebanese Australians who went on a four-week rampage of raping Australian women and teenage girls in Sydney in the lead-up to the 2000 Olympics. The gang members, aged between 13 and 18 years, lured the girls from shopping centres and train stations and took them to parks and public toilet blocks. Daily Mail Australia previously reported that one of the victims was raped 25 times by a total of 14 men at Bankstown, in Sydney's west, in an ordeal that lasted six hours, during which the attackers subjected her to racist taunts. Skaf was aged 18 at the time of his rapes and is not eligible for parole until February 11, 2033. During the sentencing, Judge Michael Finnane described the rapes as events 'you hear about or read about only in the context of wartime atrocities'. In August that year, Skaf was moved from Sydney's Long Bay after fellow inmates threatened to inject him with HIV-infected blood they were planning to take from another prisoner. He spent time in the High Risk Management Correctional Centre inside the Goulburn prison complex, where he was caught in 2002 trying to smuggle letters out via his visiting mother, Baria, to his then girlfriend. They were caught and Mrs Skaf was banned from visiting her son for a time. Skaf was later moved to a secure section of the main prison at Goulburn and into a cell he shared with his brother Mohammed, who was also convicted of the 2000 gang rapes,

Summary: Bilal Skaf has reportedly been attacked by inmates in Goulburn prison yard . The gang rape leader was assaulted by three other inmates on Friday . He was treated in hospital for head injuries and returned to prison . Bilal Skaf was sentenced a maximum 55 years in prison in 2002 for gang raping young girls in Sydney's southwest when he was just 18 . He is not eligible for parole until 2033 and shares a cell with his brother Mohammed .


Manchester City have defended price hikes after some fans saw the cost of their season tickets almost double. A number of fans in the East Stand at the Etihad Stadium have been informed that their £885 season cards will rocket to £1,750. But the club say that is because the seats have been upgraded and now come with a different package. Some Etihad season tickets have seen their price double, despite empty seats at times this season . Some fans will now have to pay over £1,700 to watch Manuel Pellegrini's side, up from just £885 . They also point out that they still have 8,000 seats below Manchester United’s cheapest offering. Some of the fans affected claim City, who face a fight to secure Champions League football after winning last season’s Premier League title, are abusing their loyalty. One fan said: ‘After the season we have had you would think that if anything they would be lowering the prices. ‘When I was told about how much they were going up to I thought it was an error. They are taking advantage of us, despite how poor they have been this year.’ The club point out that they have reviewed pricing at the stadium following its extension, which will see the capacity rise from 48,000 to 54,000 next season. City claim the change is due to upgrades which have come in during the stadium's expansion . City have slumped to fourth this season after some poor performances in their title defence . They also cite improvements to seating and add that a number of fans have seen a decrease in the price of their ticket. City add that they have increased the number of £299 season tickets available with only Stoke City offering cheaper. The club confirmed yesterday that playmaker David Silva did not suffer any fractures in Sunday’s Premier League win over West Ham. Silva was taken to hospital for checks on his cheekbone and collarbone after being caught in the face by an elbow from Hammers midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate at the Etihad Stadium.

Summary: Manchester City fans see prices of some tickets rise from £885 to £1,750 . Club says those tickets now come as part of a 'different package' City have reviewed stadium pricing following a 6,000-seat extension . Cheapest Etihad season tickets cost just £299 .


Richard Henyekane, a former South Africa striker, was killed in a car crash early Tuesday, his club and the country's Premier Soccer League have confirmed. Henyekane's club, Free State Stars, said the 31-year-old player was traveling with four other people in the vehicle but was the only person to die in the crash. Henyekane made nine appearances for South Africa in 2009. He was on loan at Free State Stars from Pretoria-based Mamelodi Sundowns. Henyekane went on as a substitute in Stars' 1-0 loss to AmaZulu in the east coast city of Durban in the PSL on Saturday. Richard Henyekane died tragically in a car accident on Tuesday morning while he driving in Bethlehem . South African media reported the crash happened in Bethlehem, the town in central South Africa where Free State Stars are based. Other South African clubs, South African Football Association President Danny Jordaan, and the minister of sport sent messages of condolence for Henyekane. Henyekane's younger brother, Joseph, who was also a footballer, died in December. South Africa has a poor road safety record. Runner and former 800-meter world champion Mbulaeni Mulaudzi died in a road accident late last year. The forward made nine appearances for South Africa in 2009 and played for Free State Stars this season .

Summary: Richard Henyekane died in car accident in the early hours of Tuesday . The former South Africa striker was the only person to die in the crash . Henyekane made nine appearances for South Africa back in 2009 .


Whatever caused small space rocks to lump together billions of years ago, magnetism is unlikely to be the reason. Scientists announced today that measurements made by the European space probe Philae, which landed on comet 67P in November, show the comet's core isn't magnetised. Some astrophysicists have suggested that magnetism might have been responsible for aligning and then binding together rocks into larger boulders during the early stages of planet formation. A composite of 18 images showing off the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko activity from different angles as seen between 31 January (top left) and 25 March (bottom right), when the spacecraft was at distances of about 30 to 100 km from the comet . But in a paper published online by the journal Science, the team led by Hans-Ulrich Auster at the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany, said their data — which benefited from three unexpected bounces that allowed Philae to collect more results than planned — don't support this theory. 'If the surface was magnetised, we would have expected to see a clear increase in the magnetic field readings as we got closer and closer to the surface,' said Auster. 'If comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is representative of all cometary nuclei, then we suggest that magnetic forces are unlikely to have played a role in the accumulation of planetary building blocks greater than one meter (3 feet) in size.' Allan H. Treiman, a senior scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas, who wasn't involved in the study, said the results credibly suggest other forces were responsible. Magnetic data before (top) and after (bottom) the cliff collision at between the first and second touchdowns. Height above the surface is plotted on the x-axis and magnetic field strength on the y-axis. The measurements (crosses) are compared with a hypothetical model (solid line) assuming a slightly magnetised surface . data collected by the Rosetta Plasma Consortium fluxgate magnetometer on board the orbiter (top) and the Rosetta Lander Magnetometer and Plasma Monitor on board the lander (bottom) have been used to investigate the magnetic properties of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko . Studying the properties of a comet can provide clues to the role that magnetic fields played in the formation of Solar System bodies almost 4.6 billion years ago. The infant Solar System was once nothing more than a swirling disc of gas and dust but, within a few million years, the Sun burst into life in the centre of this turbulent disc, with the leftover material going into forming the asteroids, comets, moons and planets. The dust contained an appreciable fraction of iron, some of it in the form of magnetite. Indeed, millimetre-sized grains of magnetic materials have been found in meteorites, indicating their presence in the early Solar System. This leads scientists to believe that magnetic fields threading through the proto-planetary disc could have played an important role in moving material around as it started to clump together to form larger bodies. 'Auster did not find any magnetic field, with a very sensitive instrument, so it seems unlikely that magnetism in the solar nebula was

Summary: Was thought magnetism was responsible for aligning and binding rocks . This could have led to early stages of planet formation, scientists said . Rosetta results do not support theory as 67P's core is not magnetised .


It has the most famous zebra crossing in the world outside it, and has hosted every major name in music in the last 80 years, but Abbey Road studios has never before been open to the public. Despite receiving around 500,000 visitors a year, mostly to walk the famous crossing, the studio doors have been shut to those not recording ever since 1931 - that is, until now, thanks to a new collaboration with Google. The result is Inside Abbey Road, a new web app that takes users on an interactive, immersive and hugely detailed virtual tour of the inner workings of Abbey Road. Scroll down for video . Fine-tuning: The interactive app shows sound engineers and producers working as they look into Studio 1 . Classical music legend Sir Edward Elgar opened the studios on 12th November 1931. A video of him leading the London Symphony Orchestra in a rendition of Land of Hope and Glory can be seen in Studio 1 (pictured) Jamming: The Beatles on pianos in Studio 1 in 1967. John Lennon (left), Ringo Starr (middle) and Paul McCartney (right) play while George Harrison sits in the background . The studios hosted the world's first live global broadcast - from none other than The Beatles - as well as playing a role in the invention of stereo by EMI engineer Alan Blumlein. With the aim of sharing some of this history, Google has stepped in to showcase as much of it to the public as possible, in a range of ways. Those familiar with Google Street View will find plenty they are used to in the way Inside Abbey Road is navigated, with a point and click of the mouse, as well as click and drag to scan the more than 150 360-degree images that make up the experience. But these are only the top layer to the app, which then has several animated sequences in place of images that show sound technicians at work in the three studios and mastering suite. Then added to this are a range of information points in the form of short articles on subjects ranging from cutting vinyl records to creating stereo. History: There are archive photos from Abbey Road down the years, as well as YouTube videos (pictured next to the piano) of performances placed in the exact spot they were filmed from. This image shows Studio 3 . Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and John Lennon (left) arrive at Abbey Road studios for the recording of All You Need is Love on 24th June 1967.

Midsomer Murders is to have its first regular Asian character in its 18th series, four years after the drama's producer said the programme 'wouldn't work' with ethnic minority characters. Manjinder Virk will play pathologist Dr Kam Karimore in the ITV police drama. Although there have been Asian actors in cameo parts, this is the first significant role for an ethnic minority actor. In 2011, executive producer Brian True-May described the show as the 'last bastion of Englishness' because it had no black or Asian characters. Gwilym Lee, Manjinder Virk and Neil Dudgeon (pictured left to right) will star in the upcoming season of Midsomer Murders . He said the show 'wouldn't work' if there was racial diversity among its cast. Mr True-May was suspended as a result of his comments and he later quit. The long-running crime drama is set in the quiet countryside village of Midsomer where DCI John Barnaby investigates a string of murders. Executive producer Jo Wright said Dr Karimore will cause DS Nelson, played by Gwilym Lee, 'trouble in more ways than one.' Midsomer Murders began in 1997 and is watched by more than 6million viewers a week. True-May said at the time the programme just doesn't 'have ethnic minorities involved. Because it wouldn't be the English village with them. It just wouldn't work. Executive producer Brian True-May (left) described the show as the 'last bastion of Englishness' in 2011 because it had no black or Asian characters, pictured with John Nettles . 'Suddenly we might be in Slough. Ironically, Causton (one of the main centres of population in the show) is supposed to be Slough. 'And if you went into Slough you wouldn't see a white face there. We're the last bastion of Englishness and I want to keep it that way.' ITV said at the time that it was 'shocked and appalled' at the sentiments.

Siobhan-Marie O'Connor won gold in the 200 metres individual medley at the British Championships to ensure qualification for the World Championships this summer. O'Connor's time of two minutes 09:51 seconds was the fastest recorded in the world this year and came comfortably inside the World Championships qualification mark of 2:10:20. Hannah Miley took the silver medal with a time of 2:11:65 and Aimee Willmott claimed bronze in 2:13:30. Siobhan-Marie O'Connor celebrates with second-placed Hannah Miley (left) and third-placed Aimee Willmott . O'Connor, who is the reigning Commonwealth champion, was short of her 2:08.21 personal best - a British record - but said making the team for Russia was her main focus. 'I'm chuffed, the (qualifying) times are a massive challenge but it means everyone has to step up and race world class times,' O'Connor said. 'I'm really just happy to have made the team. It was really tough. I'm happy with that time, I just wanted to go under 2.10. 'I would have ideally liked to have been closer to my personal best but sometimes you're not on your best form. To get the qualifying time was my main aim.' O'Connor's time of two minutes 09:51 seconds was the fastest recorded in the world this year . The performance of O'Connor, who won 100m freestyle gold on Tuesday, is particularly impressive considering the heavy disruptions to her winter training programme. The pool at the University of Bath, where the 19-year-old has trained for most of her career, has been closed for six months renovation meaning she and her group have been forced to relocate 32 miles away at Millfield School. 'It has been hard over the last six months,' O'Connor added. 'It has been a challenge but everyone has challenges in sport. 'It's just something we have to deal with. It couldn't have been any better and I'm proud to have adapted to it. 'It's definitely been tough, we've all felt that. Our pool is open in Bath after this though so I'm looking forward to getting back there and getting some consistency again.' The 19-year-old claimed two titles despite heavy disruptions to her winter training programme . Jazz Carlin followed up her success in the 400m freestyle on Wednesday with a dominant performance in the 800m freestyle to win another gold medal. Carlin clocked 8:21:58 which was enough to seal the title but she missed the World Championships qualifying time of 8:21:22. The Commonwealth and European champion is still likely to race the 800m in Russia, after finishing more than 10 seconds clear of Jessica Thielmann (8:32:19) in second and Camilla Hattersley in third (8:37:99). 'I'm not too disappointed to miss the qualifying time,' Carlin said. 'For myself I would have liked to have gone quicker but to make the worlds qualifying time yesterday I'm sure I'll get to swim the event there. 'It felt a bit tough tonight, I didn't really get into it, I felt a bit heavy in my stroke but that happens.' Elizabeth Simmonds won the women's 100m backstroke, registering 1:00:03, while Craig McNally took gold in

Summary: Siobhan-Marie O'Connor won her second title of the British Championships . The 19-year-old also sealed a place in Britain's World Championships team .


A British former supermarket security guard, who left his parents house and became an ISIS jihadist in Syria, has been busy writing advice about 'dealing' with wannabe jihadi brides. Omar Hussain, 27, from High Wycombe, first came to prominence when he appeared in a ISIS propaganda video, urging the West to send troops to fight ISIS, vowing 'we'll send them back one by one in coffins.' Now the fighter has been promoting himself as an amateur Islamic thinker, regularly attempting to write about daily issues faced by jihadists. Omar Hussain, 27, from High Wycombe, used to live at home with his mother and work as a security guard at Morrisons before he travelled to Syria. Entitled 'Dealing with sisters and social media', the lazy fighter dishes out his best advice for handling the ladies. The fighter, who still hasn't managed to find himself a jihadi bride, encourages fighters not to be disheartened by the other fighters who get married via social media. The extremist warns of jihadi brides becoming jealous of other women liking their husband's social media account too much. He wrote: 'No pious sister would be pleased to see her husband getting so many likes from other sisters. Not to mention how glamorous some of these niqabi sisters try to look in their poses of their profile pics. The 27-year-old claimed: 'Even a simple word of praise from a sister online can damage your intention. Always keep yourself in check.' Hussain initially joined Jabhat al-Nusra but switched to ISIS after just four months. He spends most of his time writing and taking photographs from his home in Raqqa, Syria. Creepy jihadi Omar Hussain also has a cat, known as Lucy, whom he adopted from the streets. The bachelor has been keen to dish out advice on securing jihadi brides. When he is not furiously trying to write advice about Islam, Hussain seems to enjoy eating plenty of unhealthy snacks and attempting to cook. The hapless self styled hitch wrote: 'You may see some brothers with so many sisters following them, with sisters praising them, writing on their page etc. But just ignore the temptations.' Hussain also describes women as 'the adornment of this world, and man is constantly tempted to seek a woman's attention.' Whilst he loves giving out advice on social media, Hussain appears to struggle with life outside the cyber world. Unable to fight, Hussain finds even the most basic tasks in life difficult and even recently admitted it took him an astonishing 50 minutes to peel just 10 minuscule potatoes. The failed fighter wrote: 'Life can't go on like this, I need a Sabi (servant) :(' He confessed that he had to cut up the potatoes the next morning after tiring himself out with the peeling process. Unable to fight, Hussain finds even the most basic tasks in life difficult and even admitted it even took him an astonishing 50 minutes to peel just 10 minuscule potatoes. The fighter recently claimed he had been a terror camp trainer whilst he was with Jabhat al-Nusra. He also posted

The principal of a private boys school in Sydney has sent an email to parents and former students to inform them of child sex abuse allegations dating back 35 years. Newington College in Stanmore in Sydney's inner west is the latest prestigious private school to be hit by historic child sex abuse allegations. Headmaster David Mulford notified parents and students of the allegations in an email sent out on Monday ahead of a pending court case, Fairfax Media reports. Newington College in Sydney's inner west notified parents and students of child sex abuse allegations dating back 35 years in an email sent out on Monday ahead of a pending court case . He said the case referred to alleged incidents from more than 35 years ago and asked anyone with grievances to come forward. Headmaster David Mulford notified parents and students of the allegations in an email sent out on Monday ahead of a pending court case . 'I regret to inform you that a matter is to come before the courts involving alleged offences at Newington from more than 35 years ago,' Dr Mulford wrote. 'The sad cases about child sexual abuse and the poor institutional responses at the time have received considerable press coverage," the headmaster added. Dr Mulford, who has been been headmaster since 2009, spoke of the royal commission set up to look at institutional failures and child sex abuse but made it clear the school had not been called to give evidence. 'Sadly, many institutions with a long history, including Newington, have past incidents that require investigation and effective follow up,' he wrote. 'The commission's activities will no doubt, and justifiably, encourage those abused to come forward if they haven't already done so.' 'All of us have been appalled at the revelations coming from the Royal Commission sessions across the country. We feel deeply for the victims of such abuse.' He said Newington College would fully co-operate with police over the allegations. St Ignatius' College Riverview, located on Sydney’s north shore, has been responsible for the education of several high profile Australians including Prime Minister Tony Abbott .

A historic SpaceX launch that was set to take off today has been scrubbed due to bad weather. A historic SpaceX launch that was set to take off today has been scrubbed due to bad weather. Liftoff of the 208ft (63 metre) tall Falcon 9 rocket was scheduled for 4:33pm EDT/2033GMT from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. But poor weather conditions meant the countdown was halted at the 2 1/2-minute mark. Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, tweeted: 'Launch postponed due to lightning from an approaching anvil cloud.' The company will now attempt to launch the uncrewed Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, in Florida, at 4:10 pm ET tomorrow. But more bad weather is forecast. If the weather holds out, SpaceX is hoping to guide the bottom stage of the rocket upright onto a platform in the Atlantic Ocean. The main aim of the flight is to deliver more than 4,300lb (1,950 kg) of food, clothing, equipment and science experiments to the station, which flies about 260 miles (418 km) above Earth. On board the Dragon capsule is an experimental espresso machine intended for International Space Station astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti of Italy. SpaceX is hoping to show that affordable, reusuable rockets are possible for future commercial missions. The plan is for the capsule to be released on a two-day journey to the International Space Station. Once this takes place, the rocket's first stage will flip around and fire engines to steer its descent. It will then deploy landing legs to touch down on a customised barge stationed about 200 miles (322 km) off the coast of Jacksonville, Florida. At a pre-launch press conference on Sunday, SpaceX Vice President Hans Koenigsmann put the odds of a successful landing at 75 or 80 per cent. Nasa this morning said: 'The weather remains the primary concern for today with the most recent report calling for a 60 per cent chance of acceptable conditions at launch time.' During a previous landing attempt in January, the rocket ran out of hydraulic fluid for its steering fins, causing it to crash into the platform. A second attempt in February was called off because of high seas, but the rocket successfully ran through its pre-programmed landing sequence and hovered vertically above the waves before splashing down and breaking apart.

But more bad weather is forecast . The launch will be the easy part. After liftoff, SpaceX will attempt to guide the bottom stage of the rocket upright onto a platform in the Atlantic Ocean . Liftoff of the 208ft (63 metre) tall Falcon 9 rocket was scheduled for 4:33pm EDT/2033GMT from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The company will make a second attempt on Tuesday . The ISSpresso machine uses a normal Lavazza coffee capsule, which is posted in the top of the machine. Water is aspirated and pressurised in a unique electrical system and is then heated. The

Summary: Launch postponed due to lightning from an approaching anvil cloud . Liftoff has been rescheduled by SpaceX for tomorrow at 4.10pm ET . If successful, it will prove affordable, reusuable rockets are possible .


The shocking moment cyclists dodged the safety barriers at a level crossing to race through the path of a speeding train has been caught on camera. During the Paris-Roubaix race - Sir Bradley Wiggins' last for Team Sky - competitors approached a crossing over a train track. But as the barriers came down to signal a train was passing through, the racers can be seen swerving to avoid them in a desperate attempt to gain seconds on their rivals - and putting their lives at risk. Scroll down for video . Cyclists weave and dodge the safety barriers to gain precious seconds on the race, despite the oncoming train . A tired looking Sir Bradley Wiggins sits in the Roubaix Velodrome after coming 18th in his final race for Sky . A cyclist nips across the track in spite of the police warning - and seconds before a train passes through . The racers are still on the edge of their seats as they wait for the train to pass and level crossings to rise . A policeman on a motorbike pulls up to take charge of the situation and stop more cyclists risking their safety for the race - yet another three daredevils slip past him and onto the crossing. Mere seconds later a TGV rushes along the train tracks. BBC sports commentator Rob Hayles said the competitors had had a close shave. 'This could have ended in disaster. You could see riders nipping across but that train wasn't slowing down', he said. Around 85km into the race, the cyclists desperately try to cross the traintracks before the barriers descend . Sir Bradley Wiggins took part in the race - renowned for its demanding route - for the last time for Team Sky . Cyclists who did cross the rail-tracks could yet be disqualified from the race, as they are expressly banned from crossing a level crossing when the barriers are down. The one-day road race, which runs from Compiègne, 50 miles outside Paris, to the northern town of Roubaix, was won by German cyclist John Degenkolb. The race is known for its challenging 254km route, which includes 27 cobbled sections and level crossings. It was the last time British Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins would compete for Team Sky, and told their official site before the race it was a great way to finish. Riding in his final race for Team Sky, the Olympic and World time-trial champion failed to win the prestigious Paris-Roubaix one-day race . 'It's probably the only race other than the Tour de France where riders plug on to get to the finish. he said. 'Even if I've been dropped or crashed, I'll ride on with a broken collarbone just to come into the velodrome as it's my last race. No other race would be like that.' During the race his teammate Geriant Thomas - who managed to avoid the level crossing incident - suffered a puncture. It was a fitting end for Wiggins, who was among the first riders to join Team Sky

Summary: Ultra-competitive racers risk life and limb to cross railway 85km into race . Train races past seconds after policeman stops more cyclists crossing . Last Team Sky road race for Tour De France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins . Sir Wiggins - who wasn't involved in level crossing problem - finished 18th .


A 33-year-old woman on trial for having sex with a male inmate at Washington County Jail six times over four months while working as a services technician cried in court Wednesday as a judge rejected her request to use an insanity defense. Brett Robinson will now stand trial next week on 12 charges related to sexual misconduct and official misconduct, on allegations that she let the inmate out of his cell multiple times and engaging in sex acts between March and July last year. Robinson was hoping to present a psychologists report as evidence of mental disease or defect. The report said she was suffering from mental illness at the time of the alleged encounters and that it made her 'vulnerable, passive and gullible'. However at a motion hearing, Circuit Judge Andrew Erwin ruled the evidence was insufficient and that Robinson would have to go to trial on April 28 without it. The judge went in favor of the prosecution, who said the report should have been filed as evidence last year if the defense were going to argue insanity. Defense denied: A judge ruled Wednesday that attorneys for Brett Robinson, 33, waited too long to file an insanity defense, ruling evidence that she was suffering from mental illness when she engaged in sex acts with a prison inmate last year as insufficient . Charged: Robinson allegedly brought the male inmate into the control where she worked at Washing County Jail and had sex with him on his birthday under a blanket . State law says that defendants should file notice regarding evidence of mental disease or defect when they plead not guilty, Oregon Live reported. The judge said the defense filing it on April 10 was 'untimely' and that he didn't want to delay the trial. The case follows that of her colleague Lisa Curry, 39, who last month was sentenced to over four years prison for repeatedly having sex with a 25-year-old gang member and convicted rapist. Robinson, who worked in a maximum security control room known as 'the bubble', struck up a relationship with the inmate - who has not been named - in a nearby cell. The two would talk using an intercom when Robinson's manager left the room. According to the psychologist's report obtained by Robinson felt flattered by the compliments she got from the inmate and started to 'open up to him' early last year.Then, in March, the inmate asked for a kiss on his birthday. When her manager went to lunch, Robinson released the inmate from his cell and brought him into the bubble. She thought it strange that he brought a blanket with him from the cell, the report said. 'He kissed me so passionately, I was taken aback. 'I asked about the blanket. 'He said ''I was hoping we could go farther''. 'Then he was saying ''we don't have time to discuss this'', so I had sex with him.' New protocol: In the wake of the scandal, the Washington County Jail has added surveillance cameras and beefed up security throughout the facility to

Police are using tiny plastic Lego figures in a campaign to warn people about the rising tide of housebreakings in Scotland. Officers from Police Scotland’s Edinburgh division – which has seen break-ins soar by nearly 40 per cent – posted pictures of the Lego models on their Facebook page as part of a move to raise awareness of crime. Last night, victims branded the move as ‘insensitive’ and ‘a joke’. Hands up: Plastic Lego figures are being used by police as part of a quirky campaign to warn people about the dangers of housebreaking. But the move received a backlash, with victims branding it as 'a joke' The police internet posting showed scenes of Lego criminals attempting to break into people’s homes before being arrested by officers – and were accompanied by a Scots dialect poem giving advice. But the publicity stunt was met with criticism from politicians and victims who said officers should concentrate on solving real crimes. Break-ins in Edinburgh rose by 38.7 per cent in the 12 months to April 2014, with 4,101 homes hit. Across Scotland, housebreakings rose 4 per cent to 22,272 over the same period. The row will fuel concerns over the number of officers spending their days in police stations, rather than pounding the beat. Last year, critics claimed many officers were having to ‘backfill’ – being taken off beat duties to carry out office jobs previously covered by civilian workers. Be vigilant: The Lego figures are arranged into scenes with robbers and police officers to provide safety tips and highlight the importance of securing people's homes. Last night Police Scotland defended the campaign . Last night, Police Scotland defended the campaign, pointing out that the photos have been viewed almost 350,000 times. But Scottish Conservative chief whip John Lamont said: ‘With housebreaking on the increase, officers should be out solving real crimes, rather than relying on Lego to try and prevent it.’ The pictures are part of an anti-housebreaking drive, Operation RAC. They were uploaded days after police vowed to target a group of 40 criminals suspected of fuelling the city’s housebreaking problem. One image shows a Lego figurine in a hat and standing beside a door. Another shows a man standing on a ledge with another figure below. Poems were posted alongside the pictures, with one reading: ‘Staying in or goin oot? Lock the windaes ‘n’ front door. A simple step maybe, that’ll prevent access tae them on the chore.’ ‘Keep yer hame safe when yer oot on the go, . By usin’ timers on lights ‘n’ even the radio, . Timers are cheap ‘n’ it takes seconds tae do, . And it cuid prevent ye fae calling the boys in blue.’ ‘Look how ye get access tae the back o’ yer hame, . If it’s easy others wull dae the same, Restrict access tae the rear, . And help prevent others fae choring yer gear.’ One victim of housebreaking, Tamara Swanson from Newhaven, Edinburgh, was not impressed. The 20-year-old was alone in her home last July when an intruder attacked her as

This may look like your average wooden wardrobe, but it actually has a hidden purpose. Concealed within its doors is a tiny trapdoor that leads to a secret underground passageway stretching some 500 feet towards the U.S. border. Mexican soldiers uncovered the suspected drugs tunnel and arrested nine people before they managed to dig under the border and successfully into American territory. Scroll down for video . Does it lead to Narnia? Mexican soldiers uncovered a trapdoor leading to a suspected drugs tunnel hidden inside this wooden wardrobe . A Mexican official prepares to descend the 10 feet long ladder to enter the hidden tunnel in the border town of Tijuana . The sophisticated passageway was wired with lights, ventilation and what appears to be a cart system by the gang of drugs runners . The 66ft deep route, which was still under construction and was being built next to the Tijuana checkpoint, was wired with lights and ventilation. Soldiers who entered the passageway, just west of A.L. Rodriguez International Airport, had to descend a 10 feet ladder to access the muddy path. Officials said the route had not yet crossed the border and only stretched some 500 feet. But officials believe if it had been left undiscovered it would have surfaced somewhere just inside U.S. territory. The site of the tunnel is estimated to be around seven miles by car from the official border crossing at San Ysidro, but is less than a mile as the crow flies from the actual border. The border is just over 22 miles from the city of San Diego, California. When soldiers raided the property they also reportedly seized 44 pounds of marijuana and a truck being used by the racket to move the excavated earth. The tunnel was said to be close to the Mexican air force installation as well as a regional federal police facility . Government officials have said that similar tunnels have also been used to smuggle migrants into the United States. Over the past decade, dozens of illegal tunnels have been found across the roughly 2,000 mile U.S.-Mexico border. A soldier examines the tunnel which already stretched some 500 feet from the property when it was discovered by Mexican soldiers . The route had not yet reached U.S. soil, but if it went undiscovered official believe it would have surfaced a short distance from the border . Barrels containing dirt excavated to make way for the passageway were lined up ready to be emptied at the tunnels entrance .

Elena Udrea, pictured, is accused of taking bribes and abusing her position in government . A glamorous Romanian politician who finished fourth in the country's presidential election has been charged with accepting bribes and abusing her power while a government minister by anti-corruption police. Elena Udrea, 41, was investigated over claims during her time as the country's tourism minister that she had accepted bribes worth an estimated £1.3 million. She was indicted along with seven other people, including the country's former economy minister Ion Ariton, who was charged with abuse of power. Prosecutors in Bucharest revealed details of the investigation. Romania is regarded as one of the most corrupt countries in the European Union. Udrea, who is a lawyer, has strenuously denied the claims against her. She is a close ally of former president Traian Basescu. Prosecutors allege that Udrea and a number of her associates sought money from private firms in exchange for guarantees that they would be paid promptly for public projects. The centrist politician is accused of accepting cash in Romanian leu as well as euros worth an estimated £1.3 million. She claims the charges against her are politically motivated and accuses the anti-corruption prosecution agency of being linked to the secret service. Recent corruption cases have shown mayors, city councillors as well as other politicians requiring a kick-back to secure lucrative contracts. Prosecutors claim that Udrea used some of the cash to finance the political party she was involved with. It is also claimed that Udrea used 8.1 million leu, worth £1.3 million of money belonging to a regional development ministry to fund a private boxing event under the pretext of buying tourism advertising for Romania. Ariton, who is now a senator, is accused of convincing ten state-owned companies to sponsor the private event for 1.7 million leu, worth £276,000. Under Romanian law, state-owned industries are not allowed to sponsor private events. Ariton also denies any wrongdoing.

She's just days away from giving birth but, as ever, the Duchess of Cambridge refused to let her style icon status slip during her second pregnancy. Rather than swaddling her growing bump under baggy dresses, the 33-year-old dressed to impress every time she stepped out. But while Mulberry coats and Alexander McQueen gowns did creep in, much of Kate's pregnancy wardrobe came from the High Street. Scroll down for video . Favourites: Hobbs, Seraphine and ASOS have all been worn repeatedly during the pregancy . From a £35 ASOS polka-dot dress to Seraphine shifts, the Duchess is proof that you don't have to splash out to look gorgeous while expecting. Leading the High Street charge to the Duchess of Cambridge's wardrobe is Hobbs, a mid-range label that has taken her through everything from glamorous evening events to international tours. So enamoured is Kate of the brand, even Zara, of which she was once a die-hard fan, has had to make way for it, although another budget favourite, L.K Bennett, also remains a favourite. 'The Duchess of Cambridge likes to play it quite safe when it comes to her wardrobe, pre and post-baby, and Hobbs is the perfect brand for her,' explains fashion pundit Simon Glazin. Hobbs: A £160 shirt dress (left) in January and, right, in a peplum top at a Place2Be event in November . 'Not only is it uber British, with everything designed in-house in London, it also dovetails with royal fashion protocol: not too revealing, neutral colours, and affordable.' The Duchess wore a brown shirt dress from Hobbs to visit foster carers in North London in January and a delicate polka dot velvet top by the brand for a Place2Be reception at Kensington Palace in November. On that occasion, she deployed one of her favourite styling tricks and combined the budget top with a glamorous silk skirt by Jenny Packham for maximum effect. But while she championed Hobbs on several occasions during her second pregnancy, it is by no means the only high street staple in Kate's wardrobe. Spot the Duchess! Kate in a £169 Hobbs Dalmatian coat in March that was first seen in 2013, right . The brunette royal is also a huge fan of a small Anglo-French label called Séraphine, which has grown from a small shop in 2002 to the A-list favourite it is today. The Duchess is the brand's most famous fan, having repeatedly chosen the label during both her pregnancies. Along with a £195 coat worn in January and a £95 blue and green floral dress sported to visit the Potteries in February, she also opted for the brand when making her début in New York. On that occasion, it was the glamorous £225 plum boucle Marina coat that was chosen - and true to form, the design has since sold out repeatedly. Séraphine is the brainchild of French expat Cecile Reinaud, who launched the brand in 2002 from a small shop on High Street Kensington, and is no doubt thrilled with the royal endorsement. In March, on a visit to ITV drama

Summary: Has appeared in Hobbs and Seraphine during her pregnancy . Some of her outfits have cost as little as £35, among them ASOS dress . Recycled Dalmatian print Hobbs coat from her last pregnancy .


From identical shirts to shaving razors, deodorant and even children's chocolate, a new website has exposed that Australian women are paying more than men for the same everyday consumer goods. Since campaigning group GetUp launched The Gender Price Gap website last week, members and everyday consumers have identified nine separate products that have identical female versions which cost more. Bonds has been identified as one of the main culprits, advertising a button-up shirt, that comes in both 'summer blue' and 'blue denim' colour options, on their Australian website for $59.95. GetUp's new website, The Gender Price Gap, has exposed nine everyday items that cost more for women . This is despite the products being identical in almost every way except whether they are targeted towards women or men . However, the exact same shirt advertised under the men's clothing section is advertised for only $49.95. Other examples highlighted on the website, which show increases from as little as 11c or even 1c for items marketed towards females, highlight the absurd and unexplained price difference even further. While some might argue that they don't mind paying an additional few cents now and again, GetUp's senior campaigner, Kelsey Cooke, told Daily Mail Australia that the costs accumulate significantly over a number of years. 'I don't mind paying an extra 60 cents for whatever item it might be that I like, but when you think about it in terms of weekly and yearly costs, it's hundreds or even thousands of dollars more than my partner would be paying - even if we had the same shopping list,' Ms Cooke said. Other examples highlighted on the website, which show price increases by as little as 11c or even 1c for items marketed towards females, highlight the absurd and unexplained price difference even further . Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs, for instance, which were advertised on Coles' website for $2.20, have a pink packaged 'girls' version for $2.30. Meanwhile a packet of five Gillette disposable razors for women was photographed costing $4.50 at a supermarket while the men's version, a packet of 10 disposables identical in everything but colour, cost $8.91. The reason for the 1c price difference per razor remains a mystery. When asked why companies would charge women more for the same items, Ms Cooke said there were two answers that GetUp had considered. While some might argue that they don't mind paying an additional few cents now and again, GetUp 's senior campaigner, Kelsey Cooke, told Daily Mail Australia that the costs accumulate significantly over the years . A children's mechanic set, sold by the same company, differs greatly in price. But is there really a difference? 'One is the idea that men's products are thought of as the standard product - the neutral or base product - but the women's version is usually a "special" version or a side product. It all comes down to a theory being debated, that women are considered "the other" and different, and thus it being OK to charge a premium for the product even if it's no different,'

Summary: The Gender Price Gap website has exposed nine products that have identical female versions that cost more . These include shirts, disposable razors, deodorants and even chocolates . Website encourages women to find and share other 'cost gap' examples . While the difference is only small in the short term, GetUp argues that it accumulates to hundreds and even thousands of dollars more over years .

Among the most memorable was the jug-eared puppet of Prince Charles, who was famously shown talking on a telephone made of roses. Charles will return to puppet form in Newzoids, this time reimagined as a version of Gogglebox's Dominic Parker. The Duchess of Cornwall will be shown as a take on Steph, with the royal couple set to chortle and booze their way through a Gogglebox-style sketch. Entertainer: Prince Harry will also feature in the ITV show - albeit in puppet form . The Great British Fake Off: Stars Paul Hollywood and Mary Berry also feature in Newzoids .

Rangers boss Stuart McCall insists he is taking life at Ibrox in his stride. The former Motherwell manager admitted being wowed by Murray Park in the days after he replaced Kenny McDowall. The club's £12million training facility is a major improvement on the public pitches at Dalziel Park he was forced to make do with during his Steelmen stint. Stuart McCall insists he's loving life at Rangers despite losing heavily to Queen of the South . But along with the plush surroundings, McCall knows being manager of the Glasgow giants means he also has to cope with the kind of intense scrutiny levels he did not have to deal with at Fir Park. Not everyone is cut out for the strains of the job, as McDowall proved when he quit after posting just three wins from his 10-game spell as caretaker. The former Celtic youth coach found himself in charge just as the battle for power at Ibrox reached its bitterest point and at one stage admitted life at Rangers had 'taken its toll' on him. McCall has taken over a brighter picture following Dave King's boardroom victory and the 50-year-old former Light Blues midfielder seemed to shrug off the extra pressure during his first few weeks in charge as he led his side to three successive wins - including successes against Hearts and Hibs.

The family of a heavily pregnant Jehovah's Witness who died along with her baby after she refused a blood transfusion, have defended the woman who they said had put her baby's life above her own. Jenny-Lee, 28, was diagnosed with leukaemia seven months into her pregnancy, and although doctors at Sydney's Prince of Wales Hospital in Randwick told her she could give birth via a caesarean section and undergo chemotherapy, she refused both options as they required her to receive a blood transfusion. However her mother Heather has told The Daily Telegraph that her daughter believed the cancer treatment would harm her unborn child, named Aroura. 'She knew chemo would kill Aroura — she put the baby first each and every time and no matter what happened, she wanted that baby alive,' Heather said. A pregnant Jehovah's Witness woman and her baby have died after she refused a blood transfusion . 'We were told she would have six weeks to live — she fought to have the baby. That's the decision she made — she gave up her life.' Instead she blamed local doctors for her daughter's unnecessary death, claiming they should have tested her for the cancer sooner, but instead only attributed her symptoms to the flu and her pregnancy. The Sydney mother's baby died in utero three days after she was offered a caesarean. She had a stillbirth and died 13 days after her diagnosis by suffering a stroke and multi-organ failure. Jenny-Lee's elder daughter Chelsie, who was only 10 when her mother died in August 2009, also defended her mother. However the 28-year-old's brother David blamed the religion for how his sister died, calling her a 'fool'. 'It was not my sister who was sad and selfish, it is this religion and any other teaching this sort of nonsense,' he said. Jenny-Lee, 28, had pregnancy complications due to her leukaemia but rejected treatment on religious grounds . Her treating haematologist at the Prince of Wales Hospital in Randwick, Dr Giselle Kidson-Gerber, said the mother understood the risks of her refusal to accept blood. 'Her refusal to receive a blood transfusion meant that we were unable to perform a caesarean section and to deliver the foetus,' Dr Kidson-Gerber told Daily Mail Australia. 'Obviously it's a very big ethical issue. Legally in Australia the mother has the right to make decisions on her behalf and her foetus's behalf. 'Most mothers would make decisions in favour of the unborn baby and this was a decision that was not in favour of the unborn baby.' Dr Kidson-Gerber added: 'If we were to give chemotherapy without blood transfusion support she surely would have died.' She was being treated at the Royal Hospital for Women and the Prince of Wale Hospital in Randwick . Hospital staff were 'distressed' over what were perceived to be two avoidable deaths, as 83 percent of pregnant leukaemia sufferers go into remission with treatment. Dr Kidson-Gerber said it was a challenge to respect a patient who refuses life-saving treatment. 'It was sad. I think that I did my best to

Summary: Jenny-Lee and unborn baby Aroura died after refusing a blood transfusion . The 28-year-old suffered from leukaemia but refused treatment . Over 80 per cent of treated pregnant leukaemia sufferers go into remission . Her family have spoken out to defend the mother, saying she was told she had six weeks to live and chose to give up her life for her unborn daughter .

Inter owner Erick Thohir had warned both sets of players before the game that the 'eyes of the world' would be fixed on the 214th Derby della Madonnina. By the end of the first half, the gaze had probably focused elsewhere. While a rivalry like this one can capture the imagination of a city - and there is no doubting by the build up that Milan had been hit by derby fever - it takes a concoction of quality, intensity and passion to hold the attention of the average neutral. Not all elements were present at the San Siro. A goalless first half had produced the odd burst of quality, but little intensity. A goalless second provided little more. Former Chelsea defender Alex sees his attempt blocked by Inter keeper Samir Handanovic, in one of the game's few clear-cut chances . Philippe Mexes thought he had scored an own goal, as did his keeper Diego Lopez, but it was ruled out and the game remained goalless . Suso steps away from Inter forward Rodrigo Palacio as both sides showed endeavour, but very little quality . Suso jumps for the ball as Juan Jesus watches on, as the two sides struggled to create clear chances . Inter: Handonvic, Jesus, Vidic, Ranocchia, D'Ambrosio, Kovacic (Shaqiri 77), Medel, Gnoukouri (Obi 67), Hernanes, Palacio, Icardi . Booked: Jesus, Medel, D'Ambrosio, Hernanes . Milan: Lopez, Mexes, Abate, Antonelli, Alex (Paleta 70), Poli (Cerci 81), Van Ginkel, De Jong, Menez, Suso (Destro 73), Bonaventura . Booked: De Jong, Abate . There was plenty of passion on show, but that was largely displayed by both sets of supporters. That both sides are struggling was obvious from the pre-match build up. The painstaking effort put into pre-match choreographies of both Inter's Curva Nord and Milan's Curva Sud emphasised that this was no ordinary derby. There was much riding on it. This was their season in a nutshell. And so it proved on the pitch. A wayward pass from former Cardiff City man Gary Medel after just 51 seconds set the tone, his searching long ball falling straight into the hands of Milan keeper Diego Lopez, with umpteen other options on. There were glimmers of the potential Roberto Mancini's Inter possess. Hernanes almost lit up the occasion with a wicked left-footed shot that had to be beaten away by Diego Lopez as it threatened his top corner. Mateo Kovacic attempted something similar three minutes later, only his effort failed to find the target. There was insight into why both sides are languishing in mid-table this season too. Juan Jesus' momentary blip saw him almost turn Jeremy Menez's cross into his own net, while Lopez was almost caught on the ball by Mauro Icardi. These are the unnecessary nervy moments that the top teams tend to avoid. Milan's chances were few, Suso providing Samir Handanovic with his first action of the game after 20 minutes, a routine stop from a stinging shot after the Liverpool loanee cut in from the right. At the other end Inter's front two of Rodrigo Palacio and

Summary: Philippe Mexes own goal disallowed in controversial circumstances . Milan keeper Diego Lopez makes several good saves to keep scores level . Draw keeps both sides stuck in mid-table after disappointing seasons . Mauro Icardi misses late chance to win the game for Inter as game ends goalless .

Forget dogs' dinners, stylish cook Gizzi Erskine's fussy feline loves poppadoms, tortilla chips and taramasalata. In an interview with Puss Puss magazine, the stylish cook, 35, posed at a feast fit for only the classiest cat, that included bowls brimming with caviar and salmon roe, jellied fish heads, a seafood sculpture made of octopus, lobster and prawns. Although the lavish feast was in fact a set (created by food stylist Iain Graham), the cat fancier admitted that her British shorthair, Kimchi, has such a discerning palate he loves crunchy 'human food' and that taramasalata would be his 'death row dish'. Draped in peach silk and surrounded by cat delicacies, TV chef Gizzi Erskine appears with her pet Kimchi in cat magazine, Puss Puss . The TV chef seen baring her back tattoo with pet cat Kimchi says: 'I’d love a really small cat tattoo either behind my ear or somewhere discreet' In the shoot for the publication that pitches itself as a Vogue for cat lovers, the east London-based cook told writer Gemma Lacey: 'She won’t eat anything unless it’s proper meat.' Adding that Kimchi, 'loves human food and will steal it off our plate if we’re not looking. 'She loves anything crunchy, so if there are poppadoms or tortilla chips around that’s it. I don’t like her having it as they’re not supposed to, but she just takes it. But Gizzi insists that living in a foodie household isn't to blame. 'It’s not my influence at all, she’s just a pig!'

Jellied fish heads (right) and a seafood sculpture made of octopus, lobster and prawns (left) also feature . 'We’ve had to put her on a diet she was getting so fat. When I make taramasalata she’ll eat and eat and eat it, it’s her death row dish. 'She loves cheese, caviar and anything really fishy.' But Kimchi occasionally indulges in cat food and is 'obsessed' with Dreamies cat biscuits. 'It’s insane,' says Gizzi. 'She purrs as she eats and she doesn’t do that normally.' Gizzi also recently added a new addition to her cat family, Ponzu, named after her favourite Japanese dressing. 'I was also thinking about calling him Neeps or Haggis as he’s Scottish, but it didn’t suit him, so eventually I just went with what suited him best. He was nameless for a week,' she says. 'Kimchi is called Kimchi because of my love of Korean food,' she adds. The new addition to the Erskine feline family is also a food lover - and has even more unusual tastes. Gizzi feeding her cat Kimchi a prawn. The chef admits her furry friend has expensive taste in food . 'A week into having him, after tidying up a Thai takeaway and leaving the room for two minutes, I came back to find him paw deep in green curry!' she says.
