Millions of Britons could lose credit card perks such as cash bonuses and air miles because of EU legislation. Capital One yesterday became the first provider to scrap its cashback offer for new customers because of restrictions that will squeeze profits. The company has also warned existing customers that the loyalty points they earn will be much lower from June 1. Financial experts believe other firms are likely to follow suit. Capital One yesterday became the first provider to scrap its cashback offer for new customers after the announcement of an EU cap limiting the fees retailers can be charged for processing payments (file photo) The company scrapped the deal after the announcement last month of an EU cap – due to be introduced in October – limiting the fees retailers can be charged for processing payments. Capital One said it made perks 'no longer sustainable'. Kevin Mountford, of price comparison website MoneySupermarket, told the Daily Telegraph: 'This is a classic case of regulators, in this case European, trying to act with the consumer in mind, only for the policy to come back to bite the very people it was supposed to help. 'Its new rules won't just hit cashback cards, all loyalty programmes are at risk because something will have to give when card companies are squeezed.' Last month, the European Parliament voted in favour of a cap at 0.2 per cent of the transaction value for debit cards and 0.3 per cent for credit cards. The cap will apply to all purchases paid for with a card in the EU – either abroad or on the internet. Several credit card companies – including American Express, Barclaycard, and Santander – have millions of customers who earn hundreds of pounds or free flights if they clear their debts every month. Capital One, which pays card-holders 5p for every £1 cleared, has written to customers warning that the amount they earn will be much lower from June 1. Last month, the European Parliament voted in favour of a cap at 0.2 per cent of the transaction value for debit cards and 0.3 per cent for credit cards (file photo) It said that fees paid by merchants such as shops and restaurants to accept cards are being reduced, and it was these fees which had funded their cashback. It said it would not be increasing fees or charges as a result of the changes. Rachel Springall, of financial information website Moneyfacts, said: 'The changes from Capital One could be the starting point for a change to reward schemes because of the new ruling on interchange fees. 'Instead of adding on card fees, providers will be looking at other ways to re-coup their costs and one of the ways to do this is to withdraw reward schemes or interest-free offers. All it takes is for one provider to start the ball rolling before others do the same.'

Summary: Capital One became the first provider to scrap cashback for new customers . It said new restrictions will squeeze profits and other firms may follow suit . An EU cap limits the fees retailers can be charged for processing payments . Perks 'no longer sustainable' after it starts in October, Capital One has said .


Ten-year-old twin brothers obsessed with naval history had their passion come to life as they heard first-hand battle stories from their new best friend - 89-year-old World War II veteran, Robert Harding. Carter and Jack Hanson, who live in Raleigh, North Carolina, met their hero on the Yorktown - a retired carrier in Charleston, where Mr Harding served as an aircraft handler decades before, CBS reported. It was an emotional first meeting for the three friends who had been in contact for about a year via email after the twins learned about Mr Harding on their first trip to Yorktown and the Patriot's Point museum.

Liverpool intend to speak to Jon Flanagan about a new contract at the end of the season with the defender's deal set to expire this summer. The full back was a revelation at Anfield last season as Liverpool came tantalisingly close to winning their first title since 1990. So good was Flanagan's form that he nearly forced himself into England's World Cup squad. He was named on Roy Hodgson's standby list and was widely seen as the future for club and country at right back. Jon Flanagan will speak to Liverpool about a new contract in the summer . Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is keen to keep Flanagan at Liverpool . But the 22-year-old has become something of a forgotten man with a knee injury keeping him out of action all season as his contract has ticked down. The injury, sustained just before the start of the season, was not thought to be serious at the time but Flanagan has not played a minute of first-team football in 11 months. He has been back in training now for a while now but is thought to be some way away from being ready for first-team action - though he did play 31 minutes of the recent Steven Gerrard v Jamie Carragher All-Star game at Anfield. Flanagan suffered a knee injury and has become a forgotten man this season . Flanagan impressed so much last season that he forced his way into the England squad . Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is a big fan of the Liverpudlian, who is a popular member of the squad and has been on the club's books since the age of 11. And with Gerrard departing this summer Liverpool would be loathed to let another local lad leave, especially with Glen Johnson's expected departure leaving a gap to fill at full back. Both parties are confident an agreement can be reached and that the player can get his career back on track after a year to forget. Rodgers said recently: 'Hopefully Flano's contract will be sorted out. He is working his way back to fitness and when that happens I am sure the contract will get sorted. He is a big part of the future here.'

Summary: Jon Flanagan's contract expires in the summer . Flanagan has been out of action all season due to a knee injury . Brendan Rodgers is keen to keep Flanagan at Liverpool .


Manchester United scouts are due to watch Inter Milan striker Mauro Icardi against Verona at the weekend. United have had staff at Inter's games with Sampdoria and Parma. Icardi has turned down Inter's latest contract offer but talks with the former Barcelona junior are continuing. Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal have also watched the 22-year-old.

Icardi is reportedly on an £11,000-a-week salary and is looking to increase that to £43,000 a week. The Argentine last week admitted, though, that he is willing to move this summer. Icardi told CNN: 'If there are other clubs who want me, they should discuss this with Inter. If Inter decide to sell me, I’ll pack up and go away. 'If they don’t want to, I will stay in Milan where I am really good and I’m happy. My family here feels like home. Icardi (centre) stands beside Inter Milan head coach Roberto Mancini (right) during training earlier this month . Icardi gives the thumbs up after scoring for Inter Milan against Palermo at the San Siro in February . 'Regarding my pay, my salary, that I don’t "earn a lot", these are things that are a result of two years ago when I came to Inter.' Icardi moved to Inter from Sampdoria in the summer of 2013 and is the joint-third top scorer in Serie A this season with 15 goals.

Gary Mabbutt has spoken for the first time about how he was left with a 30 inch scar following a five hour operation to save his leg. The ex-Tottenham and England star, 53, was rushed to hospital after waking up at 1am to find that the leg had gone cold back in 2013. Mabbutt's diabetes had led to a clogged artery in the limb and doctors warned him it was 'touch and go' on whether it would have to be amputated. Gary Mabbutt has been left with a 30inch scar on his left leg after his diabetes caused an artery to be clogged . He was treated at King's College Hospital in south east London, undergoing an emergency five-hour operation. Surgeons were required to replace the main artery in his left leg with a vein and needed 112 staples to seal the horrific wound. Mabbutt, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 17, will not be able to play football again, leaving his dream of becoming a manager in tatters. As he is unable to train with players on the pitch, he has been forced to turn down roles in coaching. Surgeons were required to replace the main artery in his left leg with a vein and needed 112 staples to seal it . The Spurs legend has spoken for the first time about the agony he went through and says he hopes to raise awareness of his condition. Speaking to The Sun, he said: 'When they talked about battling to save my leg, I realised I was helpless. As a diabetic you know complications can occur. But you think "It's never going to happen to me". It is vital to educate everyone with diabetes how to take care of themselves. If you have anything unusual with your feet, tingly toes, blisters, see your doctor.' In 1982, father-of-two Mabbutt became the first diabetic ever to play for England and captained Tottenham to FA cup glory in 1991. Former star: Mabbutt is pictured, left, lifting the FA Cup while playing for Tottenham in 1991 . He was unaware that his diabetes had triggered peripheral arterial disease, clogging up the blood vessels in the legs. Every year, surgeons perform around 8,000 amputations on diabetics in the UK - but campaigners say four out five could be prevented. Amputations cost the NHS £650million a year - and up 80 per cent of the amputees die within five years. Diabates sufferers are entitled to annual eye tests as they are are 20 times more likely to develop sight problems, but Gary Mabbutt wants a similar programme to apply to feet. Experts say millions of diabetics are unaware their condition could lead to foot problems and agree regular checks could save limbs.

Summary: Spurs legend woke up in middle of the night to find his leg was cold . Mabbutt diagnosed with diabetes at 17 but complications had developed . He required the main artery to be replaced and almost lost his left leg . The ex-Spurs star wants to raise awareness of dangers relating to diabetes .


Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney added to his collection of wonder goals at Old Trafford with a stunning strike in a 3-1 win against Aston Villa that lifted his side above Manchester City into third place in the Premier League.

The top-paying companies in America have been revealing - and film-streaming service Netflix is near the top of the pile, paying a median of $180,000 a year. The other boldface name in the group is Google, which comes in at no. 13 and pays an median of $143,000 a year. But to make it on to the payrolls of these top companies, workers needs to be highly educated, highly skilled or highly connected - sometimes all three. They fall into three categories - tech companies, law firms and consulting firms. Netflix has come a long way from its days of mailing DVDs to subscribers across the country. Its 2,000 employees have a median salary of $180,000 now . Nine of the top 15 companies are in the tech sector, according to salary data compiled by the recruiting company Glassdoor.com. These firms are competing furiously to hire and retain the relatively small number of top-notch computer programmers who make Silicon Valley such a magnet for money. Consulting and law firms rely on relationships with clients and so once employees establish themselves, they become more and more valuable and command higher salaries. Wall Street law firm, Skadden, Arps, one of the largest and most prestigious law firms in the nation, comes in at the top of the list. The median compensation there there is $182,000. Skadden has 4,500 employees - more than 1,800 of whom are high-grossing attorneys. Netflix, which has 2,000 employees, comes in second. Management consultants take the three spots - Strategy&, McKinsey & Company and A.T. Kearney all pay $160,000 median salaries. Mozilla, the company that oversees the Firefox web browser and TureCar, which lists car sales, are both on the list. Other than Google, Netflix, Mozilla and TrueCar, most people have likely not heard of the companies of the highest-paid list. The companies are also mostly small and midsize. Nearly all of them employ fewer than 5,000 people. Some just a few hundred. Google, which has 53,000 employees, is by far the largest employer on the list.

Summary: Netflix offers median salary of $180,000 . Corporate law firm Skadden Arps came in on top with $182,000 median salary for 4,500 employees . Google, the by far the biggest employer, ranks 13th .


When something goes bump in the night, the last thing you expect is for grandad's old cane to be responsible. But that's the kind of thing the unfortunate owners of some of the world's most haunted pieces of furniture have had to deal with. From the Indiana 'ghost cane' to the 'chair of death', these regular household fixtures are sure to give you the creeps. Scroll down for video . This haunted mirror (left) is said to contain the trapped souls of the wife and children of a Louisiana slave master while Bruno Amadio’s portrait of a weeping child (right) was thought to have been cursed . Four people reportedly died shortly after sitting in this 200-year old 'chair of death' now in Philadelphia . This 'conjure chest' is said to have caused the death of 17 people close to a slave master who murdered a slave, causing her fellow slaves to have a conjurer curse it . During the middle of the 19th Century in South Carolina, Jacob Cooley murdered a slave named Hosea for building a chest which did not meet his standards. Hosea’s fellow slaves took revenge, asking a conjurer to curse the chest – leading to the death of 17 people close to Cooley, including his first-born son. The curse was later lifted by a ‘conjure woman’, and the chest now resides in the Kentucky History Museum. When Mary Anderson’s grandson saw the ghost of his grandfather in the family home in Indiana, she decided to ease the boy’s fears by selling the cane he had owned. The winning bidder was asked to write a letter to the youngster letting him know that the cane was doing ok – and the $65,000 walking stick is now housed in Antigua’s Golden Palace Casino. Bruno Amadio’s portrait of a weeping child hit the headlines in the 1980s when a Yorkshire firefighter claimed to have noticed the painting left unscathed at the scene of numerous house fires, leading to rumours that it was cursed. The case of the haunted bunk beds of Wisconsin became infamous in 1987 when Alan and Debby Tallman’s purchase from a local junk shop led to nine months of terror . Newspapers organised bonfire burnings of copies of the painting to rid the country of the curse. The case of the haunted bunk beds of Wisconsin became infamous in 1987, when Alan and Debby Tallman’s purchase from a local junk shop led to nine months of terror. Radios would switch stations unexpectedly, the children became ill and there were even sightings of a witch-like figure at night. The family reached out to a pastor and, for a while, the house settled down – until Christmas 1988, when Mr Tallman heard a voice beckoning him to the garage, where a blazing inferno appeared before vanishing instantly. Pennsylvania's 'chair of death' was the most famous of hundreds of priceless historical artefacts kept at Baelroy Mansion in Philadelphia. The 200-year old chair is believed to have belonged to Napoleon – but the ghost which haunts the piece of furniture takes

Summary: Portrait of a weeping child was spotted at scene of house fires in Yorkshire . Burnings of copies of painting were organised to rid Britain of its 'curse' Haunted bunk beds of Wisconsin terrorised a whole family in late 1980s . Four people said to have died after sitting on Philadelphia 'death chair'


Sami Khedira is still weighing up his next move but has interest from Manchester United and Chelsea. United have maintained an interest in the Germany international since failing to sign him in August 2013. His representatives have spoken to Schalke on a number of occasions but the fifth placed Bundesliga side have been struggling to come up with a suitable financial package while he also has concerns about the strength of their squad. They have been scouting for alternatives should he turn them down. Although Khedira said last month: 'I love Real Madrid and it'll be hard to leave this club - I'll give all I've got until the last moments of my contract, let nobody doubt that', Real will not now offer him a new deal. Sami Khedira is being courted by several clubs including Manchester United and Chelsea . Khedira has not played as often as he would have liked at Real Madrid since last summer's World Cup . They are also looking to sell Spain international Asier Illaramendi with Real Sociedad, Liverpool and Arsenal all interested in a cut-price £18million deal. Khedira was a target for Arsenal and his free agent status will give him more options but his salary of £190,000 a week at 28-years-old is not so easy to accommodate. Niggling injuries have also helped limit him to just 17 appearances for Madrid since the World Cup. United have also discussed the possibility of reviving their interest in Paris St Germain's energetic midfielder Blaise Matuidi if a deal can be struck. Dortmund's Ilkay Gundogan and Mats Hummels remain on their list too. Manchester City striker Stevan Jovetic hopes to have a clearer idea later on Wednesday of whether he will be able to join Inter Milan. His representatives are meeting the Italian club's officials to outline what proposals can be put forward to City. The Montenegrin is desperate to join Inter but there are doubts whether they can match City's valuation particularly with Yaya Toure also in their thoughts. Their initial proposal for Jovetic is likely to be a loan with a view, something City are not keen on. Inter are prepared to sell to fund their rebuild with former defender Nemanja Vidic among the candidates to go. Inter Milan are keen to thrash out a deal for Stevan Jovatic (left) and are also keen on Yaya Toure (right) City may yet offer him as part of their ambitious bid for Raheem Sterling although Liverpool insist they will not sell. Chelsea remain interested in Sterling also. James Milner remains a free transfer option for Liverpool but, as reported in Sportsmail at the weekend, he has yet to determine where he will go with offers from Arsenal, Everton, Roma, Inter Milan and two Spanish clubs also on the table. He has not ruled out staying at City with the amount of game time pivotal to his decision. Sunderland have agreed deals to bring in Manchester City youngsters Cameron McCulloch, a goalkeeper, and Josh Maja, a striker, from Manchester City U18s. Juventus and Monaco are understood to have held

Summary: Sami Khedira will not be offered a new deal by Real Madrid . Manchester United and Chelsea are interested in the World Cup winner . Inter Milan hope to agree a deal with Manchester City for Stevan Jovetic . Newcastle are considering a move for Fulham's Ross McCormack . Stoke could add Mohamed el Ouriachi to their other ex-Barcelona players .


The richest fight of all time continues to break through the barriers of history – mostly in terms of financial records, naturally. For the first time in the annals of boxing – as Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao step on the scales next Friday – fans will be charged for admission to a weigh-in. This formality for checking that combatants weigh no more than the stipulated poundage for each division started to become an event in its own right in 2007 when Ricky Hatton went to Las Vegas to take his Man Of La Mancha tilt at the Mayweather windmill. Floyd Mayweather with girlfriend Doralie Medina (left) and Manny Pacquiao with his wife Jinkee (right) Pacquiao with his wife and children (left to right) Michael, Israel, Emmanuel, Princess and Queen Elizabeth . Mayweather visits SubZero Recovery in Las Vegas, a new-age version of the ice bath . No fewer than 30,000 of the Manchester Hitman's army followed him across the Atlantic and thousands of them turned up for the weigh-in. The atmosphere was electrified when Hatton yelled 'let's be having him' as Mayweather was about to follow him onto the stage. Hatton would be knocked out but there was more of the same when he went back to the MGM Grand to suffer the same fate against Pacquiao two years later. Since then weigh-ins there have turned into sound and light spectacles, taking place inside the Grand Garden Arena itself, and the audiences keep growing. The decision to sell tickets for this one has been made in the interests of safety, not profit. Up to 200,000 visitors are expected to pour into Vegas this fight week and the MGM need to control the crowds at all the associated events. Thousands of fans watched Ricky Hatton and Mayweather weigh-in at the MGM Grand Garden Arena . Hatton points towards the crowd during his heated weigh-in with Mayweather in December 2007 . Mayweather poses in his TMT clothing as he takes a break from training over the weekend . To avoid accusations of cashing in on the phenomenon the hotel and both promoters – Mayweather and Top Rank – will donate all revenue from the weigh-in to charities nominated by the Money Man and the PacMan. Mayweather and Pacquiao will be required to weigh not more than 10st 7lbs. The winner will unify the WBC (Mayweather) and WBO (Pacquiao) world welterweight titles. Wladimir Klitschko, as he makes a rare appearance in the US this Saturday, admits that at 39 he has to start considering when he might hang up those huge gloves. However, assuming he adds Bryant Jennings to his long list of victims, that will not happen before Dr Iron Fist has obliged the two young pretenders to his heavyweight throne. Namely our own Tyson Fury and America's KO sensation Deontay Wilder. Wladimir Klitschko has admitted that he is considering retirement as he approaches his 40th birthday . Klitschko says: 'I do have to start thinking about retirement.' But then the Ukrainian who boxes mostly to sell-out crowds in German football stadia, adds:

Summary: Fans will be charged to watch a weigh-in for the first time when Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio step on the scales . All profits will be donated to charities nominated by the boxers . Mayweather and Pacquiao will be weighed at the Grand Garden Arena . Wladimir Klitschko admits that he is considering retirement . The Ukrainian looks set to fight Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder . Carl Froch may choose to retire after Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr's defeat by Andrzej Fonfara . Froch had hoped to face the Mexican in Las Vegas later this year .


Hillary Clinton ended her whirlwind New Hampshire campaign swing on Tuesday afternoon in another state entirely, taking taxpayers for an 80 miles-per-hour ride all the way to Boston – to catch a flight with first class seats. Her Secret Service-provided 'Scooby' van motored from Concord to Boston Logan International Airport, escorted by troopers from both New Hampshire and Massachusetts. She arrived in time to take a 7:00 p.m. US Airways shuttle to Washington, D.C. On the way, her motorcade passed exits to the Manchester, N.H. airport, which was 55 miles closer and offered a 5:16 p.m. flight to the same destination. The Boston flight, though, used a larger aircraft with 12 first class seats. The Manchester flight was scheduled to use a smaller plane with nothing but coach. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEOS . First class: Hillary (seated at the front, right) traveled in luxury from Boston to Washington, seated next to chief of staff Huma Abedin, after a high-speed dash to Logan International Airport . Clinton and her entourage flew on a commercial US Airways Shuttle flight on Tuesday, and the Secret Service took care of the cars at curbside. 'Scooby' is seen next to the Terminal B sign with its side door open . ARRIVAL: Hillary was flanked by her security after she landed at Washington Reagan National Airport near DC, insisting that she hadn't booked the first class tickets herself – but staring ahead wordlessly when asked about the deadly Benghazi terror attack . NEW HAMPSHIRE? No, it's Massachusetts: Mrs. Clinton's motorcade, including her custom conversion van (center, in the distance), arrived just before 4:15 p.m. at Boston Logan International Airport . SLICK: Just a day earlier, Clinton's motorcade zipped along wet New Hampshire roads at 92 mph so she could make a dinner party on time . Clinton told Daily Mail Online when she reached Washington and was asked why her security detail drove the extra miles at taxpayer expense: 'You know, I don't make the travel arrangements. I don't.' She went silent, however, when asked if she would be ready soon to address public concerns about her performance as secretary of state before and after the 2012 terror attack that claimed four lives in Benghazi, Libya. Asked if she had made mistakes in the legacy-tarnishing episode, Clinton stared straight ahead, continued walking alongside her Secret Service escort, and said nothing. In New Hampshire, she had spent much of her time railing against America's richest '1 per cent,' but ultimately took the priciest seat to Washington that she could buy without chartering a private plane. During her trip she said of the wealthy: 'The deck is stacked in their favor. My job is to reshuffle the cards.' According to The New York Times, she spoke to a group of economists earlier this year about 'toppling' the country's financial elites if she were elected president. KISS THE RING: Hillary Clinton met Tuesday with Mary Louise Hancock, the grand dame of New Hampshire liberal politics and a woman who wields enormous grassroots organizing power in the Granite State . After a

Summary: Speedometer-busting race to Boston Logan International Airport hit 80 in a 55 MPH zone . Clinton and her entourage took US Airways Shuttle flight 2120 to Washington Reagan International Airport near DC – and sat in first class . First class seating came after campaign trip where she said of rich: 'The deck is stacked in their favor. My job is to reshuffle the pack.' The Manchester, NH airport would have been 55 miles closer and had a flight two hours earlier – but it was on smaller plane with only coach seats . Clinton insisted she didn't personally book the tickets, but stared ahead and said nothing when asked about the Benghazi terror attacks . NASCAR-like trip down I-93 came less than 24 hours after Clinton's Secret Service detail raced down rain-slicked New Hampshire freeways at 92 mph .


DOWNTON'S EXIT . We were told by Mooresey [coach Peter Moores] that Paul had been let go between sessions in the practice game against Saint Kitts. I think Mooresey had only just found out himself. You see it when football clubs get taken over; you tend to see different people brought in for key positions. Paul was a lovely guy and I feel sorry he’s lost his job but when you get new people in, changes always happen. There have been a few names bandied around and I think Straussy [Andrew Strauss] was considered last time the role came up a year ago, but he didn’t particularly fancy it. He’s certainly a very good man, but it’s hard to know who would be a good candidate until we know more about what the job role is. But Strauss, Michael Vaughan and Alec Stewart are all former England captains who would all bring their own experience and knowledge to the role. Stuart Broad admits he was sorry to see Paul Downton leave his role in the ECB . Downton (centre) was sacked as ECB managing director after a dismal World Cup this year . ALASTAIR COOK . He seems in a really happy place and excited to be back around the group. He’d be the last person to make too much of a fuss about a hundred in a warm-up game but I’d back him to score big runs in this series — he looks refreshed and ready to go. PLAYER POWER . It’s incredibly important that all the players feel they can contribute and speak up when they need to. That can be quite a scary thing but you only get better as a group when you do that. I did an Adidas event with Harlequins winger Ugo Monye and he was saying how player-led they were at the club. During the World Cup we didn’t talk enough as players and the guys weren’t speaking up as much as they needed to. We needed more edge and hopefully bringing guys like Cooky and Trotty [Jonathan Trott] back into the group will help that. Broad has backed Alastair Cook to score big runs during the series in the Caribbean . Captain Cook scored a century during a warm-up game against St Kitts & Nevis . RICHIE BENAUD . I used to watch videos of my dad playing in the 1986-87 Ashes series and I’ll always remember Richie’s commentary on that. He had this way of sounding as if he was reciting commentary when he was commentating and making it relaxing and peaceful to listen to. I don’t think there’ll be anyone in the cricket world who won’t be touched by his passing. His voice symbolised cricket and we’ll all miss him. JIMMY ANDERSON . He’s one of my best mates and we’ve played a lot of cricket together. He’s taught me a huge amount and guided me through my international career. I think we’re third behind Waqar [Younis] and Wasim [Akram] and Curtly [Ambrose] and Courtney [Walsh] as a pairing and that comes

It's every chocoholic's dream come true - a mountain of Easter eggs covering the entire house. But while Lian Marshall - pictured among the treats - does have two chocolate-loving daughters, this incredible bounty is not for them. Ellie, 10, and Taylor, five, lost their eight-year-old brother Harvey last year to a mystery illness, and when Easter approached they decided to donate all their eggs to the patients at Sheffield Children's Hospital where he was cared for. Lian Marshall - pictured among the treats - has two chocolate-loving daughters but this incredible bounty is not for them. Instead the eggs will be donated to Sheffield Children's Hospital . Once the family, from Furness Vale, Derbyshire, posted on Facebook, kind strangers began to send eggs - and now there are more than 1,000. Some donations have come from as far afield as the US, with many from Ireland and Scotland and the length and breadth of England. The girls came up with the inspirational idea after spending three Easters in a row by Harvey's side at the hospital where they were all lucky enough to receive Easter Eggs. Ellie said: 'I thought it was going to be never-ending! It feels really nice to remember him and I don't think the hospital were expecting as many. Ellie Marshall, 10, and Taylor Biggin (both above with mother Lian), five, came up with the idea in memory of their brother Harvey . 'It feels a bit strange at the moment. I've never had this much chocolate in my house before.' Their 29-year-old mother, who was a full-time carer for Harvey and now works as a support worker for disabled children, said: 'I was taken aback by it all. We didn't expect to get the response that we did. It's really touching what the girls are doing. 'They were really close to Harvey, they had a really tight bond. Especially Ellie. The hospital think it's amazing and a really nice thing to do. 'On the second day I thought 72 eggs was an amazing response but when it continued the girls were a bit overwhelmed by it all and a bit speechless. The eggs are still arriving. It feels really good to be able to give something back.'

Summary: Ellie, ten, and Taylor, five, advertised about collecting eggs on Facebook . Wanted treats to give to hospital in Sheffield in memory of their brother .


Huddersfield ensured their status in the Sky Bet Championship with three games remaining thanks to a goalless draw at Brighton. The point for the Seagulls ended a run of three successive defeats, but their goal drought continues and they are now without a goal from one of their own players for nine hours and 20 minutes. Albion are still not out of danger towards the bottom of the table and are seven points above the drop zone with three games left.

A stirring second-half fight back from Birmingham saw them draw level when full-back Jonathan Grounds grabbed a 64th-minute equaliser.

Hull KR have plugged the gap created by the loss of front row pair Michael Weyman and Ryan Bailey with the capture of experienced Australian forward Dane Tilse from Canberra Raiders. The 6ft 7in, 17st-plus Tilse has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Robins and will join them as soon as he receives the necessary paperwork after the Raiders agreed to release him. Tilse, 30, who has made 200 appearances Down Under, will link up with his old Canberra team-mate Terry Campese, the new Hull KR captain who on Tuesday signed a two-year contract extension, and is a like-for-like replacement for Weyman, who announced his retirement due to injury last month. Australian forward Dane Tilse will move from Canberra Raiders to Hull KR on a two-and-a-half-year deal . The Raiders have agreed to release the 6ft 7in forward and only paperwork delays his start for the Robins . Rovers, who have appointed former England captain Jamie Peacock as their football manager for 2016, were further depleted in the front row when they agreed to release ex-Leeds prop Bailey for personal reasons. Tilse comes in after the sudden retirement of Michael Weyman and Ryan Bailey's departure . Hull KR head coach Chris Chester, who had been linked with a move for Tilse's Canberra team-mate David Shillington, said: 'It's no secret that we've been short on numbers in the front row after the departures of Mick and Ryan Bailey and we wanted to strengthen in that area. 'Our forwards have coped very well in the circumstances but we've been scouring the market for props and we're delighted to be bringing in someone of Dane's calibre. 'He's got a very good pedigree over in the NRL and he's coming here in what should be the prime of his career for a front rower. 'We're excited to see him take to the field for us and he'll be a big part of the squad moving forwards. We've got to go through the necessary process regarding his visa, but we're hopeful of having him on board in the next three to four weeks.' Tilse, a former Junior Kangaroo who was an ever-present for Canberra in both 2013 and 2014, said he spoke to former Hull KR hooker Josh Hodgson, who joined the Raiders at the end of last season, before finalising the move. 'It's a new challenge for me to come over there and it's one I'm really looking forward to,' Tilse said. 'Everybody I've spoken to has had good things to say about Rovers and it sounds like a club on the way up. 'I've had a brief chat to Josh Hodgson and he spoke very highly of the club, as did Mick Weyman's dad. I played with Mick at Canberra and his old man said how much he'd enjoyed it over there. Tilse will link up with his former Raiders team-mate Terry Campese, the new Hull KR captain . 'It's a different style of game in Super League, it's not so much about the wrestle and defence like the NRL, so I'm looking forward to

Summary: Michael Weyman and Ryan Bailey's sudden departures left huge void . Dane Tilse is to sign a two-and-a-half-year contract with Hull KR . He joins former Canberra Raiders team-mate Terry Campese at Robins .


An Ohio middle school is being criticized after it decided to remove the word 'feminist' from a T-shirt an eighth grade girl wore in her class photo.

Christine Thomas said her daughter only met with school officials after the doctored photo was released. Thomas said: 'I was upset. 'I went to the principal's office and she told me she blacked it out because it's offensive to some people.' Ralph Shell, the superintendent of the Clermont Northeastern School District, said the situation was 'blown out of proportion', BuzzFeed News reported. He added: 'We took the photo and she was in the front row with the T-shirt on, and it was just not a flattering picture.' On April 17, Thomas asked people to post photos using the #IDESERVEFREEDOMOFEXPRESSION hashtag . On Friday, April 17, Thomas asked people who found the school's decision distasteful to wear a shirt showing their support for feminism or freedom of expression and post photos with the hashtag #IDESERVEFREEDOMOFEXPRESSION. The photos were collected on Instagram. She said: 'People around here misconstrue the word [feminism].' 'Like, 'Oh, you're a feminist so you hate men.' 'I just want to spread equality, and a lot of people here don't agree with me.'

Celtic have written to the Scottish Football Association in order to gain an 'understanding' of the refereeing decisions during their Scottish Cup semi-final defeat by Inverness on Sunday. The Hoops were left outraged by referee Steven McLean's failure to award a penalty or red card for a clear handball in the box by Josh Meekings to deny Leigh Griffith's goal-bound shot during the first-half. Caley Thistle went on to win the game 3-2 after extra-time and denied Rory Delia's men the chance to secure a domestic Treble this season. Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths has a goal-bound shot blocked by the outstretched arm of Josh Meekings . Celtic's Adam Matthews (right) slides in with a strong challenge on Nick Ross in the Scottish Cup semi-final . 'Given the level of reaction from our supporters and across football, we are duty bound to seek an understanding of what actually happened,' Celtic said in a statement. They added, 'We have not been given any other specific explanation so far and this is simply to understand the circumstances of what went on and why such an obvious error was made.' However, the Parkhead outfit made a point of congratulating their opponents, who have reached the first-ever Scottish Cup final in their history, describing Caley as a 'fantastic club' and saying 'reaching the final is a great achievement.' Celtic had taken the lead in the semi-final through defender Virgil van Dijk's curling free-kick on 18 minutes, but were unable to double that lead thanks to the Meekings controversy. It allowed Inverness a route back into the game and Celtic had goalkeeper Craig Gordon sent off after the restart for scything down Marley Watkins in the area. Greg Tansey duly converted the resulting penalty. Edward Ofere then put Caley Thistle ahead, only for John Guidetti to draw level for the Bhoys. With the game seemingly heading for penalties, David Raven scored the winner on 117 minutes, breaking thousands of Celtic hearts.

Top-ranked Serena Williams had to fight back from a set down and figure out how to deal with strong winds before overcoming Italy's Sara Errani 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-3 in a Fed Cup play-off Sunday, giving the United States a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five series. While Williams held a massive 70-7 lead in winners, she committed nearly three times as many unforced errors as the 15th-ranked Errani. Until the very end, Williams struggled to dictate play against an opponent who had never before presented her with serious problems. Serena Williams fought back to beat Italian Sara Errani in the Fed Cup play-off on Sunday . Still, Williams improved to 20-0 this year and 16-0 in Fed Cup for her career. Next up, Brindisi-born Flavia Pennetta was facing 65th-ranked Christina McHale, followed by a potentially decisive doubles match. The doubles teams named were McHale and Alison Riske against Karin Knapp and Pennetta. But U.S. captain Mary Joe Fernandez has said that Williams will play doubles if the series is tied, in which case Errani would likely pair with Pennetta. Williams entered with a 7-0 career edge over Errani and had lost a total of four games in their previous two meetings. She usually dominates Errani by taking advantage of the Italian's weak serve but the wind prevented her from stepping too far into the court. Tough weather conditions made it difficult for both players who had to keep on re-tossing their serves . The Circolo Tennis Brindisi is located next to the southern city's port and a sharp breeze was blowing off the bay. Williams and Errani often had to catch their tosses and start their service motions over again, or delay play when the wind whipped clay into their eyes between points. 'The wind helped me,' Errani said. 'Against a player like her it favored me.' Errani gave Williams a real scare but in the end the world no 1's power proved to be too much . Already in the first three games of the match, Williams committed nine unforced errors as Errani played her usual defensive game and just tried to keep the rallies going. With the soldout crowd of 4,000 chanting her first name, Errani served for the match at 5-4 in the second set but Williams played solidly and then the American surged to a 6-1 lead in the tiebreaker and pushed it to a third. There were four consecutive breaks of serve to open the third set and it was tied 3-3 before Williams finally surged ahead and won the final three games, closing it out at love in the last game on her first match point. 'It's a shame. I was so close. It was just a matter of a few points,' Errani said. 'But in the end, she created the difference.'

Summary: Serena Williams defeated Sara Errani for the United States in the Fed Cup . World No 1 was a set down before fighting back and winning the tie . Heavy wind made it difficult for the players throughout the game .

Yannick Bolasie scored three as Crystal Palace shoved Sunderland closer to the drop zone, while Hull City remain in danger following a 2-0 loss at Southampton. Arsenal kept up their impressive recent form with a 1-0 win over Burnley, while the matches between West Ham-Stoke City and Swansea City-Everton ended in 1-1 draws. GOALKEEPER .

As the election race hots up, Labour leader Ed Miliband is getting a small taste of what it might be like to be a member of One Direction. A group of female fans, who've dubbed themselves the 'Milifans', are rallying support for the opposition leader on social media using the Twitter hashtag #milifandom. The largely teenage fanbase have spent the days running up to the May 7th election posting tweets of affection for the politician. Led by Twitter user @twcuddleston, an AS Levels student by the name of Abby, the unlikely fan club has prompted hundreds of tweets from fellow users who share their admiration for the Labour leader. My heart belongs to Ed! The Labour leader (pictured in Manchester yesterday) has been the subject of a social media storm in recent days as a group of fans, mainly teenagers, have posted their affection for him under the #milifandom hashtag . Behind the #Milifandom hashtag is @twcuddleston, an AS Level student who appears to be a genuine Labour supporter. Her tweets in support of Ed have led to lots of other women posting tweets of affection for him . Fearing a gaffe, the Labour leader has remained tight-lipped on what he makes of the Milifans but did tweet back the teen behind it, @twcuddleston . In her Twitter profile, she describes herself as 'leader of the Milifandom, a movement against the distorted media portrayal of Ed.' And even she is amazed at just how the hashtag has taken off, saying 'There are those in the milifandom, those who find the milifandom funny, and those who wonder how the hell Ed Miliband has a fandom.' Perhaps fearing a gaffe, the Labour leader has remained tight-lipped on what he makes of the Milifans but did tweet the teen behind it, @twcuddleston, saying 'Hi Abby - Delighted that you've joined Labour - welcome.' While Abby seems to be a genuine Labour supporter and a level-headed teen - she's declined giving interviews in favour of revising for her upcoming exams, others seem to be more preoccupied with Miliband's physical appearance than his abilities to run the country. One user @Helen121 defended criticism of Miliband, saying he's 'not "mouldy", he's hot!' Another, @helenamelia_xox, said 'If I ever met ed miliband I actually would cry he's so hot.' Admirer, Ellie, also chimed in: 'This all started out as a joke but now I think I legitimately fancy Ed Miliband.' One user @Helen121 defended criticism of Miliband, saying he's 'not "mouldy", he's hot!' Another, @helenamelia_xox, said 'If I ever met ed miliband I actually would cry he's so hot' Maybe one day: Labour fan @Sophiephilips1 dreams that Ed will visit her in the South West . Teen angst: @theurbanangel described her crush on Ed Miliband as 'painful' Internet jokers have also got in on the act, posting mocked-up images of Miliband as various heartthrobs. @GeneralBoles seems particularly adept at it and has morphed the opposition leader's face onto a series of scenes from Poldark, Sherlock and Fifty Shades of Grey amongst others. @GeneralBoles admitted to FEMAIL that he felt

Summary: #milifandom has sparked hundreds of tweets in support of Ed Miliband . Twitter frenzy was started by young Labour supporter named 'Abby' Internet jokers have joined in, posting mocked-up images of Ed as characters from famous films including Fifty shades of Grey .

Environmental activists rescued 40 crew from a sinking ship it suspected of conducting illegal fishing near the island of Sao Tope, off the Gabon coast. The Nigerian-flagged Thunder was being tracked by activists from the charity Sea Shepherd, who believed it was engaged in illegal fishing. The Thunder's captain and crew manned life rafts late on Monday after the ship was scuttled. Scroll down for video . Rogue fishermen are believed to have scuttled this ship, Thunder from Lagos to cover up illegal fishing . Charity Sea Shepherd had been tracking the Thunder for the past 110 days off the west coast of Africa . The fishing vessel sank in perfect conditions, leading to suspicions that it had been deliberately scuttled . Sea Shepherd's vessels Bob Barker and Sam Simon rescued the men from the ocean. The Thunder had been fishing in the waters between Sao Tome and Principe, off the west coast of Africa. Bob Barker's captain Peter Hammarstedt said: 'It is an incredibly suspicious situation, to say the least. 'When my chief engineer boarded the Thunder in the hours leading up to the sinking, he was able to confirm that there were clear signs that the vessel was intentionally scuttled. 'Usually when a vessel is sinking, the captain will close all hatches so as to maintain buoyancy. However, on the Thunder, the reverse was done - doors and hatches were tied open and the fishhold was opened.' Sea Shepherd said the crew were given food and water and were transferred to Sam Simon. Video recorded by the activist group showed the ship sinking just hours after it said Thunder issued a distress signal on Monday afternoon. The Thunder's crew of 40 all managed to escape into life rafts before the vessel sunk to the ocean bottom . Members of Sea Shepherd launched rescue boats to rescue the members of crew from the ocean . Watertight doors on board the Thunder were dogged open increasing suspicion that the vessel was scuttled . Hammarstedt said Thunder's captain, who was not named, complained about being rescued and 'started applauding and cheering' when the vessel sank. He told the Sydney Morning Herald: 'We've been chasing the Thunder for 110 days now, and I think they're basically at the end of their fuel, and they would have had to make a port call . 'I think the captain of the Thunder made the decision that he preferred the physical evidence on board... was better on the ocean bottom than going into port with him.' Thunder, on a list of boats deemed to have engaged in illegal, unreported, or unregulated fishing activities by multi-national body the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), is suspected of illegal fishing for Patagonian toothfish and other rare species in the Antarctic. Toothfish is sold as Chilean sea bass, which is popular in high-end restaurants. It sells primarily in the United States, Europe and Japan, although there is also a growing market in China. Sea Shepherd's vessel Bob Barker, pictured, had been tracking The Thunder for more than 100 days

Detectives probing the murders of a Playboy bunny and a 16-year-old schoolgirl 40 years ago have offered a £40,000 reward in a bid to bring their killer to justice. Eve Stratford, a 22-year-old glamour model who worked at London's Playboy club, was found with her throat slashed in her Leyton home on the evening of 18 March 1975. Six months later, Lynne Weedon, 16, was attacked and raped in an alleyway near her home in Hounslow at 11pm on September 3, as she returned from a night out with friends. She was found abandoned and barely alive at an electricity sub-station the next morning and died a week later. Eve Stratford, 22, a Playboy bunny, was stabbed between eight and 12 times when she was murdered on the evening of 18 March 1975 . Both murders were linked in July 2006 after matching DNA was discovered on the victims, who did not know each other. It appears the motive was sexual - Lynne had been raped, and it is likely Eve had also been raped although detectives haven't been able to rule out consensual sex. The reward was posted last night as detectives appealed for information, which could lead to the identification, arrest and prosecution of those responsible, on BBC's Crimewatch show. Lynne's mother, Margaret Weedon, described the murder 40 years ago as a 'true life sentence' for the family. Lynne Weedon (right) was beaten over the head with a blunt object. Detectives believes Lynda Farrow (left), who was knifed to death in 1979, was also a victim of the same killer . She said: 'We have missed out on so much; she missed out on life, no relationship or marriage, no career or children or even just travelling the world, all taken from her. 'We are left 40 years on always wondering what it would have been like. 'We are well aware that whoever murdered Lynne also murdered Eve Stratford. That young lady also had her life snubbed out. Her family have died now. Another true life sentence. 'The hurt eases but the pain still sits deep somewhere inside. There are so many questions. So many thoughts. So much heartache. 'I will make a mother's plea for anyone who can tell us some information about the person who took my daughter and Eve Stratford's lives to come forward. Please, please give us some sort of closure.' Detective Chief Inspector Noel McHugh from Scotland Yard said he was hopeful the killer had let details slip over the years - maybe to a partner, a friend or even a cellmate or medical professional. He said it is likely the suspect for both murders is now in his 60s or 70s. The glamour model was 22 when she was killed in her home and police said her throat had been slashed between eight and 12 times . Police believe Lynne was followed on foot from Great Western Road into The Short Hedges (pictured right), before she was hit with a blunt instrument - her body was thrown over the fence and she was left

It was the moment a man, hands open in peace, stood up to a swastika-tattooed neo-nazi with his fists clenched in rage. A striking picture, taken by photographer Kenji Wardenclyffe, captured the explosive moment during a Melbourne protest against the 'Islamisation' of Australia. The dramatic scenes occurred after Reclaim Australia, an anti-Islam group, organised protests at major cities across Australia, which were countered by anti-racism activists who held rallies in the same locations. The Reclaim Australia event in Melbourne was also crashed by neo-nazis, who spectacularly clashed with anti-racism groups. Scroll down for video . A number of men with shaved heads and tattoos of the swastika (left) appeared at the event and attempted to start a fight with anti-racism protesters (right) 'It was very intense,' Kenji Wardenclyffe told Daily Mail Australia. 'The neo-nazi definitely seemed to be instigating, trying to start a fight with the anti-racism group. The other man in the photo stepped in and was trying to keep the peace. 'He kept his hands open, he was trying to stop a fight from breaking out.' The violent intent of the bald man was proven elsewhere at the rally, when he was photographed with one fist gripping another protester's shirt and the other raised to punch the man in the face. Violent intent: At the rally, the man involved in the standoff was seen trying to throw a punch at another protester as the scene descended into violence . One man appeared to be knocked out cold in the melee and was left lying on the ground . Mr Wardenclyffe said he was pushed around by protesters throughout the day, and some of his camera equipment was broken by people attempting to stop him from taking photos. 'It was a very angry atmosphere - it definitely seemed some of the people on the Reclaim Australia side were there looking to start a fight,' he said. 'It was very tense.' In a video of the event, it also appears to show the moment a man throw a punch at the head of a female anti-racism protester. Despite Reclaim Australia's promise of a peaceful protest, a number of men with shaved heads and tattoos of the swastika appeared at the event and attempted to intimidate anti-racism protesters. Reclaim Australia describe themselves as 'patriotic Australians' who protest against Sharia Law, Halal tax and Islam. They say they want 'compulsory singing of our national anthem weekly in every school in Australia' and want the government to 'refuse entry to anyone who has fought overseas against our ADF or minimum 15 years jail term.' In these photos, taken by freelance photographer Kenji Wardenclyffe, a man with a swastika tattoo came head to head with one of the anti-racism protesters and attempted to intimidate them into backing off. Wearing a Harley Davidson sleeveless hoodie, which showed off his sleeve of tattoos, the bald man attempted to start a fight with the protesters against racism, who stood against him in defiance . Police were forced to separate the neo-Nazis and opposing protesters by forming a wall at

Chaos over Labour's plan to target wealthy foreigners has left even Ed Miliband's own family baffled. Mike Keen, the Labour leader's cousin, said he was 'officially confused' over whether or not the party was actually promising to scrap non-dom rules. Mr Miliband used a speech yesterday to say he would 'abolish' the 200-year-old rule for non-doms, but in January Ed Balls said it would cost the country money. Mike Keen, the Labour leader's cousin, said he was 'officially confused' over whether or not the Ed Miliband was actually promising to scrap non-dom rules . Mr Keen posted on his public Facebook page that he needed someone to explain to him just what the Labour policy was . Non-domicile status allows people living and working in Britain to only pay tax on their UK income, but not earnings from overseas. They must prove that they regard a foreign country as their real home. But Mr Miliband argues that non-dom tests 'are not very rigorous' and can be granted to people who have a burial plot or property abroad. Newspaper reports suggested that non-dom rules would be scrapped by Labour altogether. But it emerged Labour would allow 'real temporary residents' to take advantage of the rules - with the time limit to be consulted on should they take power in the General Election on May 7. In a speech in Warwick yesterday, Mr Miliband said that everyone who has made Britain their permanent home should pay full UK tax on all their income and gains. 'It is not fair. It is not just. It holds Britain back. We will stop it. The next Labour government will abolish the non-dom rule,' he said. He was backed by Mr Balls, the shadow chancellor, who told BBC Radio 5 Live: 'We're going to change it, abolish it and it will raise a lot of money.' But it emerged in a January interview Mr Balls said: 'I think if you abolished the whole status then probably it ends up costing Britain money because there will be some people who will then leave the country.' The contradiction was seized on by the Conservatives, who produced an internet graphic showing Mr Balls' two quotes. Mr Keen, a retired GP, posted the image to his Facebook page, adding: 'Can someone explain this to me please, I am now officially confused.' In January shadow chancellor Ed Balls warned: 'I think if you abolished the whole status then probably it ends up costing Britain money because there will be some people who will then leave the country.' A friend suggested he 'ask a certain member of your family I am sure he will give you chapter and verse on it and invite him into the group I am sure we won't abuse him to much'. Mr Keen asked his friends on the site: 'What would you say to my lil cuz if he were on here?' Announcing the policy, Labour aides suggested the change in the rules, which date back to the 18th century, would raise as much as £1billion. But tax advisers

Would you like a side of pot with your main course? Food pairing menus are all the rage these days, with beers, wines and even coffees all getting the matching makeover from experts. But one US restaurant has taken things a step further by matching their mains to marijuana. Bright spark: The Amsterdam Falafel Shop in Washington DC, US, is the first restaurant in the country with a menu that matches cannabis to food . Canny move: The restaurant's menu pairs five falafels to five strains of marijuana . Amsterdam Falafel Shop in Washington DC, US, has launched its pot-pairing menu which matches five falafels to different strains of weed. This is strictly a take-away operation though, as those who like to indulge won't be able to smoke on the premises. Owners Arianne and Scott Bennett devised the rather sophisticated falafel toppings best eaten when smoking different strains of marijuana. For those who like to imbibe in some OG Kush, the restaurant recommends a falafel sandwich of baba ganoush, beetroot, pickled turnips, coleslaw, garlic parsley and tahini. If it's an Afghani strain that's got you excited, then opt for sliced cucumber, onion and dill salad, fried aubergines, and thinly layered garlic cream. According to the menu, this is the best combo for that particular strain as the 'pot/sandwich pairing has been known to induce intense relaxation.' The falafel topping counter at the restaurant includes julienne vegetables, salads and various dips . If you're looking for more of an energetic experience, the menu advises to pair a baba ganoush and chickpea, pickle, tomato, cucumber, tahini and red pepper sauce salad with a Cactus joint. 'This pairing has been known to induce an uplifting, energizing and euphoric effect,' the menu states. Sparking up Lemon Haze? Go for a hummus, yoghurt sauce, garlic parsley, crunchy onion, pickled cauliflower and Turkish salad combo; a pairing which will give you 'energy and creativity.' It's pairing different weed with different types of food,' Mr Bennett said to Fox News . 'You're tasting different things. I mean, different weed taste differently.' A law was passed in February this year which made it legal for Washington DC residents over the age of 21 to possess, grow and smoke recreational marijuana. There is a limit to the quantity users can possess and usage in public as well as sales within the DC limits is prohibited.

Summary: Amsterdam Falafel Shop, Washington DC, US, launched . Five falafels are paired with different strains of marijuana . Combos include creamy falafel to be eaten after smoking calming strain .


The Old Bailey was told that Kazi Islam, 18, sent texts to Harry Thomas, 19, who had learning difficulties, persuading him to buy parts for a bomb . A teenager bullied and groomed a friend with learning difficulties into helping him make a pipe bomb in a series of coded text messages which were given away when the friend failed to grasp that 'cake' was a codeword for 'bomb', a court has heard. Kazi Islam, 18, sent messages via his Blackberry to Harry Thomas, 19, praising Lee Rigby's killers and encouraging him to buy a knife to attack soldiers with, along with the ingredients to make an explosive device, the Old Bailey was told. Islam, who is accused of preparing for acts of terrorism, used 'cake' as code for bomb in his messages, but failing to understand his ingenious ruse, Thomas replied: 'Cake? U mean the b o m b', the jury was told. The court heard that Islam, from Manor Park, east London, met Mr Thomas at Barking and Dagenham College in October 2013, and immediately began manipulating him. Messages taken from Islam's phone show that Mr Thomas had confided in Islam about a break-up with his girlfriend, and Islam lied to him about suffering a break-up of his own, saying: ‘Coming back to Islam helped me.’ Prosecutor Annabel Darlow QC said Islam then used his friend to help assemble parts for a pipe bomb, including fireworks, hydrogen peroxide, pipes, metal end caps and glue. She said: ‘The defendant carefully groomed Mr Thomas over many months, flattering him when he appeared willing to do his bidding and bullying him with implied threats of what people associated with him would do if he didn’t carry out his wishes when he didn’t appear to be going according to plan. ‘During the same time period, Kazi Islam carried out research on the internet for information which could assist him in the construction of an explosive device. ‘He also applied liberal encouragement to Thomas to murder a British soldier, inciting him with stories about the murder of innocent children by the military forces and referring approvingly to the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby in Woolwich.’ Ms Darlow said Islam’s messages on WhatsApp and BlackBerry messenger show he was trying to radicalise others at the same time. She added: ‘His activities centred upon two particular planned acts of terrorism. The first of those was a plot to construct an improvised explosive device. The pair met while at Barking and Dagenham College (pictured) in October 2013 after Mr Thomas confided in Islam about breaking up with his girlfriend. Islam then began bullying and grooming Mr Thomas . ‘He also entered into discussions about a second scheme of his, that was to murder a member of the armed forces, although the evidence would seem to show us that the first plot had reached a far more advanced stage than the second. ‘In respect of both enterprises, he sought to use a vulnerable and impressionable young man with mental health difficulties.’ Shortly after the pair met in October 2013,

A panda in China has been nicknamed 'The Enduring Brother' – for his record-breaking love-making. Lu Lu and partner Zhen Zhen mated for an impressive seven minutes and 45 seconds, setting a new record for the year at the Sichuan Giant Panda Research Centre. A video of their sexual antics means that 'stud' Lu Lu is now the talk of China, says The People's Daily. Scroll down for video . Panda Lu Lu (right) mated with female partner Zhen Zhen for nearly eight minutes, setting a new centre record . Lu Lu has been bestowed the name 'The Enduring Brother' after his sexual prowess hit the headlines . It also means the Chinese panda lasts longer than the average American man in bed, with your typical New Mexico man making love for just over seven minutes, according to research printed by The Daily Dot. The pair were pitted against another couple of pandas, Yi Bao and Jin Xin, who only managed one minute and 20 seconds of love-making. The average length of a 'romp' between two pandas is between 30 seconds and five minutes, making Lu Lu's efforts all the more impressive. Breeders said they watch the creatures having sex so they can understand their mating habits, and encourage them to reproduce in the future. A breeder at the Sichuan Giant Panda Research Centre watches close as Lu Lu and Zhen Zhen begin . They use poles made of bamboo to guide the pandas towards each other, when they have tracked when the pandas are in the amorous mood. The female of the species are prone to making loud and strange noises, while male pandas leave traces of their scent to attract the opposite sex. But timing is everything, because the female pandas are in heat once a year, for between two to four days. Mating season for pandas usually begins in March and lasts until May, according to a report by the Shanghaiist. Female pandas make strange noises while they are in heat, while the males leave traces of their scent around . Lu Lu and Zhen Zhen lasted longer than Yi Bao and Jin Xin, who 'made love' for one minutes and 20 seconds .

A population of wild wood bison were successfully reintroduced to the United States to freely roam the plains of Alaska for the first time in over a century. The moment was captured on video and shows Alaska Department of Fish and Game Biologist Tom Seaton leading 100 wood bison to freedom on a snowmobile. The land mammals were freed from a temporary pen, where they had been kept for just over a week during the transition, and followed Mr Seaton to their new home. They journeyed for a distance of about a mile and crossed the Innoko River before reaching the grass meadows of Lower Innoko, which is surrounded by the Yukon River. Wood bison are North America’s largest land mammal, but the native Alaskan species disappeared from the state more than 100 years ago. In the video the animals can be seen chasing after the snowmobile in a herd from within side a fenced track. Wood bison were imported from Canada to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in 2008 but restoration of the threatened species was delayed. The population of wild wood bison were successfully reintroduced to the United States for first time in over a century . Alaska Department of Fish and Game Biologist Tom Seaton lead 100 wood bison to freedom on a snowmobile . Landowners didn't want their property listed as critical habitat with additional federal oversight. The state and federal governments agreed to consider the Alaska wood bison as 'experimental' without the usual Endangered Species Act requirements. With the help of corporate and non-profit sponsors, the department moved 50 cows and 50 juveniles aged two or less to the village. But the task was not without its risks as the large mammals were vulnerable to broken limbs, or if they fell, trampling. Two wood bison bulls photographed grazing at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in Portage, Alaska . Wood bison cows resting and grazing at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center in Portage, Alaska . Alaska Department of Fish and Game biologist Cathie Harms, said: ‘When you're transporting a very large, not completely domesticated animal, you always have to worry about injuries.’ To minimize jostling in the cargo plane the juveniles were transported in small groups within special bison boxes. Cows had individual pens, which provided them with enough room to stand for the one-hour drive from the conservation centre to Anchorage and a one-hour flight to the village. Once arrived, the bison moved on their own from the boxes to the snow-covered fields in a fenced area outside Shageluk. The land mammals chased after the snowmobile, which dropped alfalfa cubes, in a herd from within side a fenced track . The wood bison journeyed for a distance of about a mile and crossed the Innoko River before reaching the grass meadows of Lower Innoko . Ms Harms said: ‘Some of them trotted out, some of them galloped out. Some of them made it all the way to the opposite end of the pen, as far away from people as they could get. ‘Some of them stopped 15

Summary: Alaska Department of Fish and Game biologist delivered the animals . The land mammals followed his snowmobile dropping alfalfa cubes . They travelled a mile and crossed the Innoko River to Lower Innoko . New location should start producing sedge for the bison to feed on .
