The work of Abi Gordon-Cody is certainly not for the squeamish. Her Instagram posts of severed fingers, rotting flesh and impaled limbs may seem like the work of an extremely violent (or extremely clumsy) person but Abi's injuries are, in fact, all a clever illusion. Abi, 26, from Droitwich, Worcestershire, works as a special effects make-up artist with the daily challenge of trying to find ways of slicing off fingers and impaling bodies in a completely pain-free way. Scroll down for video . Make-up artist Abi Gordon-Cody creates gruesome injuries using special effects . Abi often stars in her own pictures, taking selfies of a bloody pencil seemingly impaled through her nostril and emerging from the bridge of her nose, or a shot of a foot that has trodden on a long rusty nail. In one picture, her toes appear to have been chopped off, while in another, a bloody ear has teeth marks where skin should be and in another, her forearm is covered in a huge iron 'burn'. One of her most inventive is a zombie rictus grin which she made by building up layers of toilet paper, latex and fake blood on her face. However, Abi's talents stretch beyond mangled makeovers having worked in theatre and helped out on film sets and she says that her work can involve beautifying rather than horrifying a client. She told Movie Pilot: 'I am constantly building up my portfolio as a make-up artist. It includes what I like to call, 'pretty make up' such as bridal and special occasions, but more importantly from blushing bride to bleeding eyes I specialise specifically in special effects creation of realistic wounds, injuries and traumas.' Abi's gory recreations of wounds have earned her a loyal following of almost 3000 on Instagram . Abi says that she was inspired to go into stage make-up by her family who worked in showbiz . As well as her gory recreations Abi works as a general make-up artist for weddings and events . Yet while Abi's love of re-creating serious injuries may seem ghoulish, the make-up expert's interest is informed by her unusual background growing up in a theatrical family. Her grandparents owned a circus, her father was a real life cowboy, stuntman and prop maker and her mother started out as a stylish stage hypnotherapist and went on to become the first female escapologist. Abi watched her father transform himself into different characters and she studied her mother while she applied stage make-up. Now her gory Instagram profile with its uncanny depictions of horror scenarios and hideous household accidents has attracted almost 3,000 followers as users take note for possible pranks or Halloween inspiration. Abi titled this post 'day-dreaming nightmare' as she replicates a finger being severed by a potato peeler . Abi says that she used to watch her mother apply stage make-up as a child . Abi says that her busiest time of year is Halloween... unsurprisingly . And yet Abi admits that some horror films terrify her. She tells Movie Pilot that even though she finds

The wife of the prominent D.C. rabbi who was caught filming dozens of women changing in a ritual bathroom at their synagogue has spoken out for the first time since his arrest last fall. A little more than a month before her husband, Bernard Freundel, is set to be sentenced for his crimes, his wife Sharon Freundel held a lecture at a Maryland Jewish school about how to respond to traumatic experiences. While Mrs Freundel did not directly address her personal drama, she did allude to the scandal which shocked her community at the beginning of the talk. 'As you all know, I've become an expert in PTSD,' Mrs Freundel told the room of about 150 people, according to the Washington Post. 'Researching this has been so therapeutic.' Sharon Fruendel (right), wife of disgraced D.C. Rabbi Bernard 'Barry' Freundel (left) gave a speech on March 22 which alludes to her family's recent scandal. In October, her husband was charged with spying on dozens of women who changed in their synagogue's ritual bathroom . It was in October that Sharon's husband Bernard 'Barry' Freundel was arrested after a police investigation revealed he had spied on dozens of women who changed in the ritual mikvah bathrooms at the Kesher Israel Congregation synagogue in D.C. Freundel first came under investigation when a woman changing came across a suspicious clock radio in the bathroom which is used mainly by people converting to Judaism and Jewish women to cleanse following menstruation. In February, the 63-year-old rabbi pleaded guilty to 52 misdemeanor charges of voyerism and he is set to be sentenced on May 15. In the weeks following her husband's arrest, Freundel left D.C. for Maryland, where one of her daughter's lived. While her husband has granted her a Jewish divorce, the two are still legally married. On March 22, she spoke to the group fathered at Charles E Smith Jewish Day School in Rockville, Maryland, for about 90 minutes. During the talk she cited several instances of 'trauma' in the Hebrew bible and how the biblical figures responded to their crises as lessons for life. She seemed to address her own personal issues with her husband when she quoted Jewish philosopher Joseph Soloveitchik, who wrote that marriage is a place people can go 'when we believed nobody 'gets' us.' Barry Freundel pleaded guilty to 52 counts of misdemeanor voyeurism in February. He is set to be sentenced in May. Pictured above leaving D.C. Superior court on February 19 . However, Soloveitchik ends by saying that ultimately, the answer 'is to turn to the one above. The one above will get it.' Several members of the Kesher community were in attendance to hear Freundel talk, and respected her more for it. 'She didn't want to represent the scandal anymore,' one longtime Kesher member told the Post. 'It gave her sense of how she survived it and how the community can survive it. She was educating the community in surviving its misfortune.' Mrs Freundel is also the director of Hebrew and Judaic Studies at the Jewish Primary Day

It is a fascinating view of exactly what goes into a modern smartphone - and how Samsung does business. The Chipworks site has posted this amazing image revealing the internals of the firm's Galaxy S6, which goes on sale on April 10th. The internals reveal Samsung used more of its own chips to power the new Galaxy S6 smartphone than it did for the predecessor S5, according to an early teardown report, in a blow to U.S. chip supplier Qualcomm. The teardown shows, from the front, the screen, logic board holder, battery, logic board with processor, camera, rear case and antenna. Samsung is not only using its own Exynos mobile processor, as had been widely reported, but also decided to rely on its in-house semiconductor business to source other parts, including the modem and power management integrated circuit chips, Ottawa-based consultancy Chipworks said. Samsung is counting on its new flagship Galaxy S6 and S6 edge phones to help revive earnings momentum after a disappointing 2014. Strong sales of system chips such as its Exynos processor could also help boost earnings, analysts and investors say. The Galaxy S6 also comes with Samsung's Shannon modem chip, U.S. phone carrierAT&T said on its website. 'It's pretty clear if they're using Shannon for the modem for AT&T that they're trying to use all-Samsung silicon,' said Jim McGregor, an analyst at Tirias Research. 'With their market share going down they're under pressure to increase profit margins.' The findings suggest a deeper loss of business for Qualcomm in the new generation of Samsung's flagship handsets than anticipated previously. Teardown reports of the predecessor Galaxy S5, released last year, showed the U.S. chipmaker supplied several components that Samsung has supplanted with its own this year, based on the phone Chipworks investigated. Samsung's new S6 and S6 Edge: The phones are also the first to feature dual-standard wireless charging technology built inside the handsets, and will battle the iPhone and HTC's One . Qualcomm said in January that a key customer declined to use its new Snapdragon processor in an upcoming flagship phone presumed to be Samsung's Galaxy S6. But it had been unclear whether Samsung would drop Qualcomm's modem chips as well. Qualcomm is the industry leader in LTE, the most advanced modem technology, but Samsung, Intel, MediaTek and others have developing their own offerings. Samsung and Qualcomm did not immediately reply to requests for comment.

Summary: Samsung previously relied on other firms to make its chips . Firm now using its own processor, modem and power supply chips .


A young woman says she lives on almost nothing but Rice Krispies – and insists she is still healthier than most people. Natalie Swindells, 26, eats four bowls of the cereal every day. She can’t face eating much else and has not tasted a vegetable for nearly two decades. The bank worker, who says she has never taken a day off sick, stopped eating most other foods from the age of two. She now believes overeating causes more health problems than having a very restricted diet like her own. In a typical day, Miss Swindells will have two bowls of Rice Krispies with milk for breakfast, followed by a slice of bread and butter for lunch, and two bowls of Rice Krispies again for dinner . ‘I think doctors overestimate the amount of vitamins that we need to be healthy,’ she said. ‘I think it is about how much you eat, not what you’re eating.’ In a typical day, Miss Swindells will have two bowls of Rice Krispies with milk for breakfast, followed by a slice of bread and butter for lunch, and two bowls of Rice Krispies again for dinner. Consultant dietician Sian Porter said: ‘It might not sound like it but Natalie is actually getting a pretty balanced diet . She will also occasionally eat milk chocolate, ready salted crisps and chips. Although she consumes fewer than half of the recommended 2,000 calories for women Miss Swindells still has an active lifestyle. She lives in Macclesfield with her boyfriend Daniel Walsh, 26, who she says has grown accustomed to her strange eating habits. ‘He’s pretty cool with it,’ she said. ‘When we first got together he tried to make me eat different things but it didn’t last very long. It was just pointless. Everything he made me try I didn’t like.’ In fact, the last time she tasted a vegetable was 18 years ago, when her mother tried to make her eat a roast dinner – and failed. Consultant dietician Sian Porter said: ‘It might not sound like it but Natalie is actually getting a pretty balanced diet. She’s getting protein and calcium from the milk and of course Rice Krispies are fortified with lots of vitamins and iron so this could explain why she’s stayed so healthy.’ But nutritionist Dr Carina Norris warned: ‘Her diet is lacking massively in minerals and vitamins. It is miles from any dietary recommendation.’ ÷ Each Kellogg’s Rice Krispie is made from a single grain of rice that is toasted. ÷ The breakfast cereal has added sugar, salt and barley malt flavouring, as well as added vitamins and minerals. ÷ A small, 30g serving of Rice Krispies contains 115 calories of energy (6 per cent of the recommended daily allowance), 0.3g of fat (less than one per cent of the RDI), 26g carbohydrates (3g of which is sugars) 0.3g fibre and 1.8g protein. ÷ Rice Krispies arrived in British shops in November 1928. ÷ The brand’s famous Snap, Crackle and Pop elf characters first appeared on cereal boxes in 1941. ÷ Jonathan Ross made

Summary: Natalie Swindell, 26, eats four bowls of Rice Krispies a day and little else . Despite the boring diet, nutritionists say her eating habits are balanced . Bank worker claims she has never eaten anything else since the age of two .


They say all it takes is one celebrity to make it to the big time, but in a sea of celebrity stylists, making a name for yourself can be quite the challenge. But not for three women who are not only scoring red carpet gigs and A-list actors but are now being dubbed 'power stylists' in Hollywood Reporter's 'Power Stylist for 2015' hit list, thanks to their A-list Aussie starlets. Scoring sixth place on the list is Elizabeth Stewart, a former fashion editor for Women’s Wear Daily and the New York Times and whose credited with styling Australian actress Cate Blanchett as well as mega stars including Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts and Amanda Seyfried. Scroll down for video . Aussie sartorial style: Naomi Watts regularly makes Best Dressed lists... and now her stylist has been included in one too .

Popular Australian comedian Rebel Wilson also recently enlisted Stewart's style advice in a bid to bring a sense of 'classiness' to her image in Tinseltown. Stewart was also voted number one stylist on The Hollywood Reporter's Power Stylist list last year, and was also blamed for causing a major fashion stir for having Blanchett (dubbed ‘the darling of Hollywood’) be the first to step out in a black frayed dress for Maison Margiela by John Galliano (after the disgraced designer left Valentino) during her Blue Jasmine acclaim. Also notably scoring eighth place was Cristina Elrich, the stylist responsible for creating a fresh faced glamour look for Aussie beauty Margot Robbie (during both her blonde and brunette red carpet appearances) and an Amazonian style for mystical Australian actress Isabel Lucas. Style sisters: Jeanann Williams, Naomi Watts' longtime stylist, placed ninth on the list . Personal and professional: Jeannan also used to date Naomi's brother Ben, and the pair share a daughter . Elrich’s other accolades include styling stars such as Penelope Cruz, Jessica Biel and Girls star Allison Williams. Straight after Elrich is Naomi Watts's stylist Jeann Williams, making the hit list at number nine. Williams manages to keep the ‘Diana’ star on the watch list every event (and is also well versed in maintain Watt’s partner Liev Shreiber’s dapper look beside her on the red carpet). Williams has had a strong advantage with her A-list clientele, when Watt’s, one of her most famous, is also the Aunt to her daughter (Williams used to date Watt’s brother acclaimed photographer Ben Watts). Despite the long list of Hollywood’s elite fashion royalty, to have three stylists most known for creating the glitz and glamour of Australia’s finest up there in the hit list at the very least deserves a shout out.

Reanne Evans insists her World Championship bid is 'do or die' for women in snooker. The 29-year-old from Dudley is aiming to be the first woman to qualify for the World Championship in Sheffield this month when she faces former champion Ken Doherty in qualifying. Evans has won 10 women's world titles and plays Irishman Doherty at Pond's Forge in Sheffield on Thursday. Reanne Evans is aiming to become the first women to qualify for the snooker World Championships . And, while her profile is dwarfed by the men's game, Evans knows she must take her chance. 'As much as it's brilliant, you get the added pressure. I'm do or die for the ladies. You have to accept it, that's the way it is,' she said. 'I hope it all goes in the right direction. 'It's going to take time and I'm getting old now, all the wrinkles are showing. 'If I don't get to play (in the main draw), I hope (my attempt to qualify will inspire) the young girls because they need to see a future in the game. 'We don't need every match on TV but it's just to show ladies are playing snooker and it might invite more players in. 'When I first started playing I didn't even know there was a ladies tour. If I didn't know, and I was into it, how are other people going to find out? 'We just need it public and to make sure there are lady players out there.' Opponent Doherty won the Crucible title in 1997 but Evans admits she is dreaming of making the main draw, which will require her and all the other 128 entrants to the preliminary draw to win three best-of-19-frame matches. Her opponent Ken Doherty won the title in 1997 and he's all that stands between her and the Championships . She said: 'Everybody wants to dream and sometimes they come true. It's going to be such a tough ask, to win one is hard but to win three is going to be mega-tough. 'You have to go out there and play your best game and hopefully on the day you'll win. 'There are that many good players out there even down the rankings - look at Ben Woollaston, who would have thought he'd have got to the Welsh Open final? But you never know if you don't try. 'When I'm on the table it's about me and my game then.' Six-time Crucible champion Steve Davis faces Jamie Cope in qualifying the day after Evans faces Doherty. The 16 players who make it through to the tournament proper will be decided on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 15.

Liam Plunkett has set his sights on the West Indies batting line-up and is ready to 'rough them up' with pace. The 29-year-old England seamer is back in Test contention in the Caribbean after his comeback last summer was cut short by injury. He managed 18 wickets in four Tests prior to that, playing a big part for an England side often criticised for going easy on the speed gun. Liam Plunkett wants to use his pace to lead England to victory in the Test series against West Indies . Plunkett returned to the England fold last summer in Test series against Sri Lanka and India . Plunkett has recovered from a minor ankle complaint in Yorkshire's pre-season trip to Abu Dhabi . A minor ankle complaint during Yorkshire's pre-season trip to Abu Dhabi proved to be nothing more than a brief setback and he is now looking to make a name for himself in a part of the world that is famous for its quick men. 'I'm trying to be the fastest (bowler on the pitch). I train hard at it and I feel that's why I stand out from the rest,' he said ahead of Monday's two-day warm-up against a St Kitts & Nevis Invitation XI. 'I feel like I'm adaptable but you might need those little patches in the game - where it's a bit dead and there's good batters - to try and rough them up a bit. 'That's why I'm in the team, because I do bowl fast. 'I'm not a bowler who runs up and just hits line and length all day, I want to do something, I want to ruffle batsmen up. If that's what I'm asked to do, I'm happy to do that.' With James Anderson and Stuart Broad likely to retain new ball duties for the first Test in Antigua on April 13, Plunkett is fighting for a place with Barbados-born Chris Jordan and the uncapped Mark Wood. There is a case to be made for both his rivals, Jordan being more familiar with conditions in his homeland and Wood an unknown quantity to the opposition, but Plunkett relishes the scrap. 'It's a good unit, a good bunch of lads and we're all working hard. There's massive competition,' he said. 'It's up to me to bowl well in practice and in the warm-up games and get the chance to play in the first Test. 'You don't want to just get in easily. You want to feel like you've earned your place and outbowled the other guys. You want to be the best bowler. 'Last summer I felt the best I had in my career, I felt good with the ball, I felt confident. Plunkett is fighting for a start in the England Test side with Chris Jordan and Mark Wood .

A gang of fly-tippers have dumped a staggering 40 tonnes of industrial waste at the side of the road in a pretty Suffolk village. The mounds of rubbish, described by one police officer as the worst he has seen in almost 30 years, will cost the public purse thousands of pounds to clear up.

I have never seen anything like it in my 28 years, certainly not in Suffolk, not on that scale and not as blatant.' He added: 'It's quite incredible. If it's a black bin in a layby you almost expect to see it but not three trailers full - this is unheard of. 'We do get more of it at this time of year and we have recently started a campaign against it with the NFU (National Farmers' Union) and CLA (Country Land and Business Association).' 'Horrific': PC Mark Bryant, rural crime officer, said it is the worst case of flytipping he's seen in 28 years . Campaign: Police, the National Farmers' Union and the Country Land and Business Association are trying to prevent fly-tipping .

'Boring' has been the word on everyone's lips when talking about Chelsea this week, but Didier Drogba has shown he and his team-mates still have the skill to disprove that disparaging tag. The Blues are preparing for Wednesday night's trip to Leicester City at St George's Park, having drawn criticism for the way they ground out a decisive 0-0 draw against Arsenal on Sunday. And Drogba and his team-mates, who can wrap up the Barclays Premier League title with two more victories, have shown off their abilities with an intricate six-man heading trick around the dinner table. Didier Drogba hit back at claims that Chelsea were boring with a video of them completing a 'bin challenge' After the ball is headed by Loic Remy and Eden Hazard, John Terry heads to Drogba in the six-man task . After Drogba, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is the next to take the ball, heading back to John Obi Mikel . Mikel stoops with a diving header that sees him fall off his chair, but the ball does drop into the small bin . Manager Jose Mourinho shot back at claims that his side were boring this week, insisting that going 10 years without winning the league - as Arsenal have - was more boring, and now Drogba has added to the retort with a video captioned: 'Boring boring chelseaaaa!!!!!!' With six players seated opposite each other on either side of a long table, Branislav Ivanovic throws the ball on to the head of Loic Remy to start the game. He heads back to Eden Hazard, who then directs it on to John Terry followed by Drogba and Thibaut Courtois before John Obi Mikel stoops to knock the ball into a bin with a diving header. After just about managing to complete the feat all seven players celebrate wildly, the sort of scenes that might be seen against Crystal Palace on Sunday if Chelsea win at the King Power Stadium and then on their return to Stamford Bridge. The champions-elect have been preparing for Wednesday night's game at the National Football Centre at Burton-on-Trent since Monday, where they are staying at the on-site Hilton Hotel. While French forward Remy was more than willing to jump around with his team-mates in the video at the hotel, he has been ruled out of the game against Leicester by Mourinho. With Mikel on the floor, Courtois and Terry leap into the air in celebrations that could soon be repeated . The seven players involved in the game at St George's Park jump around in a celebratory huddle . Drogba and his team-mates can wrap up the Barclays Premier League title with two more league victories . Diego Costa is also a doubt having missed almost a month of action with a hamstring problem that has bugged him for much of the season. Midfielder Oscar has a chance of returning from the concussion he suffered against Arsenal in a challenge by goalkeeper David Ospina on Sunday. St George's Park, which opened in October 2012, is used by the full range of

'Territorial P*ssings is a f**king great song. And Dumb, I cry every time I hear that song.

Sirloin, topside and fillet are best saved for the roasting pan, chuck flank, rib-eye and skirt on the grill and when stewing go for brisket, shoulder and ribs. If you're roasting a joint this Sunday, remember that thyme and red wine make perfect partners and don't forget to scrape the roasting dish for juices to make a fresh delicious gravy. And when looking for a good cut of meat to grill or use for steak and fajitas, you want cuts that have a good marbling of fat. Research by Asda has found that rump, fillet and T-Bone are the most popular cuts of meat when eating out but when we cook at home the majority of us (55 per cent) rely on burgers or mince. The supermarket's study also showed a showing lack of beef knowledge in the under 35's, which was highlighted further by the extensive knowledge of their senior counterparts. One in four youngsters think pocket and Y-bone are cuts of beef, whereas only a mere 3 per cent of over 55s fell for the fake cuts. In addition, this age bracket correctly identified shin (78 per cent) and skirt (72 per cent) as cuts of beef widely available across the UK but for the younger folk, those figures more than halved. Over a quarter of under 35's avoid trying unusual cuts of beef because they assume it will be too expensive while 30 per cent admitted they had never been shown how to cook a cut of beef. A fifth of 18-34-year-olds also admitted they find larger cuts of beef daunting to cook. Although half of Brits in their 20s would happily choose rump steak on the menu at a restaurant, they lack the confidence or know-how to cook it at home and therefore rely on the staples of mince and burgers to feed their beefy cravings. Neil Moorcroft buying manager for beef at Asda said: 'It's probably fair to say our grandparent's generation are more likely to have been brought up on a varied diet of beef cuts depending on what was available from the local butcher. 'However busy lifestyles and a shift in family mealtimes has altered this over the years, which is why it's become easy to fall into the same old shopping and cooking routines. 'But it's never too late to experiment and beef up those cooking skills, so if you get stuck just ask for tips at your local butcher's counter'. 'Bigger cuts of meat can be daunting, but they have great versatility, value for money and are definitely worth getting to grips with.' Best for Roasting .

Britain's most famous pools winner who pledged to 'spend, spend, spend' after winning more than £150,000 has died. Viv Nicholson, 79, became rich overnight when she scooped £152,319 in 1961 with her husband Keith. The win, on a football betting pool, in which gamblers predict the results of football games across a season, would be worth up to £5million in today's money. The pair, from Castleford, West Yorkshire, splurged the cash on flash cars, designer clothes, holidays and partying - frittering away half of their wealth within four years of winning. Scroll down for video . Viv Nicholson, 79, from West Yorkshire, who became rich overnight when she scooped £152,319 in 1961 with her husband Keith (pictured with Bruce Forsyth) has passed away following a lengthy battle with dementia . Mrs Nicholson (above) and her husband splurged the cash - worth about £5million today - on expensive cars, designer clothes, holidays and partying - frittering away at least half of their wealth within four years of winning . However, tragedy struck when Mr Nicholson died at the wheel of his blue Jaguar in 1965, which led to Mrs Nicholson being declared bankrupt, as the tax authorities reclaimed most of her husband's wealth. She managed to reclaim some of the money after a lengthy legal battle, but lost it all again from poor investments on the stock market. She later suffered a stroke in 2011, which her son said led to the onset of dementia, and moved into a care home. Her family confirmed she passed away yesterday following a long battle with the brain disease and requested for donations to be made to Dementia UK in her memory. In a statement released today, her son Howard said: 'We are saddened to announce the death of our much loved mum, Viv Nicholson. 'After suffering with dementia for five years, she died on April 11 at Pinderfields Hospital with her sons at her side. 'Viv was a one-off in all ways - a loving and loved mother, a glamorous great grandmother and a friend to many. Mrs Nicholson lived a fascinating lifestyle, staying true to her word by spending all of the money which she famously won when she was just 25-years-old. In 2007, she recalled the evening she realised she had won the huge sum of money. She said: 'We found out on Saturday evening that we'd won the pools, but we couldn't find the coupon. We weren't sure if we'd sent it off or not, but then the winning ticket turned up in Keith's trousers. 'It's unbelievable that I remember the exact amount we won so clearly - it was £152,300, 18 shillings and eight pence. Back then, even the eight pence meant something. 'I walked half a mile to the Post Office to send the telegram to the pools company. Within a couple of days, we were in London and famous.'

An orphan who survived a horrific plane crash that claimed the lives of nearly 80 babies and children 40 years ago has made an emotional return to the scene of one of the worst humanitarian disasters of the Vietnam War. Landon Carnie and his twin sister Lorie were initially thought to have died with scores of other youngsters when the first flight of Operation Babylift – an evacuation of vulnerable Vietnamese orphans and children before the Fall of Saigon – crashed minutes after take-off. Incredibly, with wreckage and bodies strewn over miles of countryside, the terrified 17-month-old twins were found huddled together in a rice paddy more than a day after the crash and later taken to their adoptive parents in the U.S. who had earlier been told they were dead. Now 41, Landon has visited the crash scene and is thought to be the first child survivor to return to the countryside on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City where the C-5 military cargo plane crashed and broke up killing 78 children and 50 adults on April 4, 1975. Scroll down for video . Emotional return: Landon Carnie visits the very spot in the paddy field in Vietnam where it is believed he and his twin sister Lorie were found huddled together as 17-month-old babies after miraculously surviving a horrific plane crash that claimed the lives of nearly 80 babies and children 40 years ago on April 4, 1975 . Devastation: Landon and Lorie Carnie were thought to have died when the first flight of Operation Babylift – an evacuation of Vietnamese orphans and children before the Fall of Saigon – crashed minutes after take-off . Plucked from wreckage: The 17-month-old twins were found by a rice farmer in a paddy field a day after the disaster and later taken to their adoptive parents in the U.S. who had earlier been told they were dead . Incredible escape: Landon and Lorie had at first been placed on the lower cargo deck of the plane where they would almost certainly have died before a nurse moved them to the upper deck shortly after take-off . The tragic start to Operation Babylift – which eventually saw more than 3,000 vulnerable children evacuated to new lives overseas as Communist forces closed in on the southern capital – came as an explosion blew out the cargo doors as it climbed to 23,000 feet. The crew wrestled to bring the plane under control and were returning to Tan Song Nhut air base in Saigon when it crashed and broke into four blazing pieces short of the runway. There were 175 survivors. Landon and his sister had at first been placed on the lower cargo deck of the plane where they would almost certainly have died before a nurse caring for them moved them to the upper deck of the plane shortly after take-off. 'The two of us were put into one chair together,' said Landon, recalling stories he was told about the crash as a child. 'We were found over a day after the crash,

These are the pictures taken by an unforgiving regime of the men, women and children caught trying to escape its suffocating clutches and then forced to re-enact their ordeal for the cameras of the secret police. 'Reenactment MfS' - the Ministry for State Security better known as the 'Stasi' during the 40 year existence of the East German state - is a new book containing these photos of desperation which the socialist rulers used as evidence in the show trials against those they caught. They were also thought to have been used for training purposes for border guards and trainee agents intended to inculcate in them awareness of the lengths people would go to in order to try to escape the workers' paradise that was the German Democratic Republic. Scroll down for video . Foiled: The Stasi - East Germany's secret police - forced people to pose for their pictures, showing exactly how they had planned to escape from the German Democratic Republic . Humiliation: The families were forced to line up and pose for the pictures, which were used as 'evidence' Lessons: The photographs were also used to train up border guards, so they knew what people might try to do to escape the confines of East Germany . Hidden: These pictures were found in the archives of East Germany's Stasi secret police, presumably the clothing of someone who had tried to flee the Communist regime . But photographer Arwed Messmer, who discovered the pictures, sees another reason for the pictures of families desperate to escape the grasp of East Germany. 'Of course when I saw these photos of families for the first time I was reminded of Abu Ghraib,' he said, referring to the prison in Iraq where American gaolers humiliated their prisoners for amusement and captured the images of their degradation on camera. Messmer found the remarkable photos in a box at the Stasi Archive in Berlin, where mile upon mile of yellowing paperwork - the files of the secret policemen which they managed to neither burn or shred in the East German state's dying hours - now reside. Together, they constitute a fascinating if grim epitaph to a nation which erected the Berlin Wall to hermetically seal in its citizens. One of the photos shows a man sitting in a homemade raft made out of polystyrene slabs, nylon rope, and wooden boards. He was transporting it to the Baltic Sea near the East German resort of Boltenhagen on July 9, 1981, when he was apprehended, tried and flung into prison. Simple: A picture of a ladder, which some desperate person had used to try to escape to the West . Creativity: The ingenuity of people trying to escape was remarkable: one picture shows a girl hiding in a gearbox compartment, while others simply show the vehicle in which they tried to make their escape . Evidence: Other pictures, like these blood stained tops, look more like a picture which might be taken by police for use in a court case today . Another is of a primitive float

Summary: Discovered in the Stasi Archive in Berlin by photographer Arwed Messmer . Show how secret police forced people trying to escape to re-enact method . Include pictures of primitive floats, children concealed in cars and tunnels . Secret police used the pictures for training and for use at trials as evidence . Have now been compiled in a book called Reenactment MfS . Reenactment MfS by Arwed Messmer, is published by Hatje Cantz .

Matej Vydra's superb volley helped keep Watford on the trail for automatic promotion as they recorded a 2-0 victory over a spirited Millwall side, who sank further into relegation trouble. Millwall were on top for much of the first half but a stunning hit from Vydra saw the Hornets take in a slender advantage at half-time. Aiden O'Brien was a constant menace for the hosts - who had an early penalty shout turned down - but Watford were far too clinical, as Adlene Guedioura slotted a vital second goal shortly after the break. Matej Vydra fires home his stunning volley from the edge of the box to put Watford into the lead . Vydra is congratulated by his Watford team-mates as his goal moved the club towards automatic promotion . Millwall keeper David Forde was called into action in the first minute, doing well to deny Troy Deeney after the striker had broken the offside trap. The Lions quickly gathered momentum and despite some promising approach play - with O'Brien at the heart of much of it - failed to create any meaningful opportunities. And the home side had a legitimate penalty shout after Ben Watson bundled over of Ed Upson, as the midfielder jinked in from the right, but that went unpunished. After Watford weathered the storm, Vydra produced his moment of inspiration by volleying in from just outside the box in the 26th minute. Forde was helpless as the Czech thumped the ball into the far corner from Ikechi Anya's cross. Millwall, playing with renewed hope of survival after a first win in 10 on Good Friday, then squandered a golden opportunity when Martyn Woolford failed to pick out O'Brien lurking unmarked two yards from goal. Adlene Guedioura celebrates in front of the travelling fans after making it 2-0 and sealing the three points . Troy Deeney, who went close early on, is tackled by Millwall's Shaun Williams during the Championship clash . The hosts also ended the half in the ascendency as Jimmy Abdou's scuffed shot was well saved by Heurelho Gomes. Millwall huffed and puffed as they had in the first-half, but created few chances of any note. They came closest to boosting their slim survival hopes when O'Brien robbed Matthew Connolly of possession, but Gomes saved well. In the 54th minute, Anya - as he did for Vydra's opener - created Watford's second. The Scottish winger combined with Troy Deeney to outfox Shaun Cummings and Sid Nelson before squaring for Guedioura, who tucked away a six-yard tap-in. Deeney dives in to stop Dan Harding getting past, as Millwall slipped closer to relegation . It was a goal that Watford's second-half performance deserved, as they overcame Millwall's superiority before the break to showcase the quality that puts them on the brink of the Premier League. They twice came close to adding to the lead, as first Vydra then Odion Ighalo ran free on goal. Forde managed to gather the ball at Vydra's feet and then saved agilely from substitute Ighalo. Avoiding defeat would have equalled their longest unbeaten

Summary: Matej Vydra converts Ikechi Anya cross after 26 mintues . Adlene Guadeioura doubles Hornets advantage in second half . Millwall remain seven points from safety, and are second from bottom .


Suddenly, in the middle of the New York night, Edward Snowden's familiar bespectacled face appeared - deep in a public park. A 4-foot-high, 100-pound sculpted bust of the infamous NSA whistle-blower now exiled in Russia was sneaked into Brooklyn's Fort Greene Park in the pre-dawn hours Monday. Animal New York, a city news website that first reported the incident, said the mysterious perpetrators were a trio of guerrilla artists — admirers of the former government contractor who had leaked thousands of pages of classified information from the National Security Agency detailing a massive domestic spying program to the media. Scroll down for video . Illicit tribute: A group of anonymous artists erected a 4-foot-tall plaster bust of Edward Snowden, the former US spy agency contractor famous for leaking classified information, in Brooklyn's Fort Greene Park early Monday morning . Looks familiar? The artists spent six months and $30,000 working on a life-like effigy of the 31-year-old whistle-blower (left) who has been living in exile in Moscow since 2013 . Perfect fit: The activists hoisted the bust to the top of a Revolutionary War memorial . The activists hoisted the unsanctioned bust to the top of a Revolutionary War memorial and secured it with an adhesive material, adding his name to a column, according to Animal New York. The website says the group allowed it to document installation of the statue on the condition that it not reveal the identities of the artists. Snowden's artistic appearance was short-lived. At daybreak, police said city parks officials ordered the sculpted Snowden removed from the top of Prison Ship Martyrs Monument, which honors the 11,500 patriots who died aboard British prison ships during the Revolutionary War. And by evening, his bust was being held at Brooklyn's 88th Precinct pending an investigation. The idea for the tribute was conceived by two New York City-based artists, joined by a West Coast sculptor, Animal New York said. In a statement to the online outlet, they said they had 'updated' the memorial to American POWs who died during the war for independence 'to highlight those who sacrifice their safety in the fight against modern-day tyrannies. 'It would be a dishonor to those memorialized here to not laud those who protect the ideals they fought for, as Edward Snowden has by bringing the NSA's 4th-Amendment-violating surveillance programs to light. From Russia with love: The statue appeared just hours after HBO aired comedian John Oliver's interview with Snowden on his weekly show Last Week Tonight (pictured) Cover-up: By noon, employees of the New York City Parks Department arrived on the scene and covered the unsanctioned artwork with a blue tarp . Rogue art: The parks department said the erection of any unapproved structure or artwork in a city park is illegal . Snowden selfie: Park-goers rushed to document the impromptu art installation before it was removed . Blended in: The color and style of the artwork matched the rest of the monument so well that many people walking their dogs in the park early Monday morning did not notice anything amiss .

Summary: Activists installed Snowden's bust on top of century-old Prison Ship Martyrs Monument at Fort Greene Park before dawn Monday . It took them six months to create the 4-foot-high, 100-pound bust sculpted out of plaster-like material and made to look like bronze . Bust was accompanied by block letters spelling out 'SNOWDEN' Less than 10 hours after installation, parks workers swooped in and took down the statue . The unsanctioned bust appeared in the park just hours after HBO aired John Oliver's interview with Edward Snowden .

Rangers boss Stuart McCall has delivered a sharp rebuke to David Templeton after the winger criticised the training-ground methods deployed by the manager's predecessors, Ally McCoist and Kenny McDowall. Former Hearts star Templeton claimed last week that McCall had introduced a brand of coaching and tactical preparation which had been lacking under the previous management. But McCall, who is busy transforming the club on the pitch after three successive wins in the Championship, was less than impressed by the player's comments and hinted that they may have been motivated by the player's lack of game time under McCoist and McDowall. Rangers winger David Templeton spoke out about his former managers Ally McCoist and Kenny McDowall . 'David made an error,' said the ex-Rangers midfielder. 'He was out of the frame a wee bit under Kenny and Ally. 'But he knows we are not here to criticise what went on before, because the players were part of that. All we are concentrating on is the here and now.' McCall also had words of warning for skipper Lee McCulloch, claiming his red card against Hearts could cost him his place in the Ibrox line-up. The defender has been given a two-match ban - starting with Queen of the South at Palmerston on Thursday - after being sent off on Sunday. The Light Blues captain put his elbow into the face of Jambos striker Osman Sow as the pair jumped for a high ball. McCall, whose team clung on for a vital 2-1 win after playing 50 minutes a man down, had been happy with McCulloch's displays until that point. But the interim Rangers manager has now warned the former Scotland cap he is not 'undroppable'. He said: 'Lee made a poor decision. I understand why he did it but it was a blatant red card. He led with his elbow and it was wrong - but he knows he was wrong. 'He has got to take his punishment and move on now. He has got a two-game ban - whether he gets back in the team thereafter we will see. Lee McCulloch has been warned he could lose his place in the starting XI after being sent off against Hearts . 'Since I've been at the club he has done fine. He's been good in the dressing room and his performances have been good. 'If whoever comes in over the next two games does really well, then he might not get back in. 'He's not undroppable, no, but at this moment in time with the games we have played he has done nothing to merit being dropped.' Off the field, Dave King now hopes to get the SFA's blessing to take over as chairman after judges at the Court of Session approved his boardroom bid. But with 12 first-team players out of contract at the end of this season, McCall has warned his squad they may have to wait for new deals. He said: 'I don't think it will be too long before Dave becomes chairman of the club, so that is another positive

Summary: David Templeton spoke out about his former managers last week . Stuart McCall admits his winger 'made an error' with his comments . Lee McCulloch's red card against Hearts could cost him his starting place .


The warmth of a sun has long been thought to be a key ingredient to life. But astronomers say 'rogue', sun-less planets that wander the stars could still harbour extra-terrestrials. While it sounds like science fiction, these planets may offer scientists a new avenue in their search for alien life. The warmth of a sun has long been thought to be a key ingredient to life. But astronomers say 'rogue', sun-less planets that wander the stars could still harbour extra-terrestrials . This is according to Sean Raymond, an astrophysicist with the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Bordeaux in France, who has taken a look at how life can form on rogue planets. Writing in Aeon, he says: 'To have any chance of life – at least life like our own – a free-floating Earth would need liquid water.' A planet needs to keep warm for liquid water to form, and without the sun, this heat would have to come from its interior. 'A layer of ice on a planet's surface can act as a strong insulator, locking in a planet's heat,' claims Raymond. Globulettes - regions of dust and gas that can form planets - could make rogue more common than first thought. Rogue planets are of particular interest to astronomers because they represent objects that have likely failed to form into a star . PSO J318.5-22 was detected 80 light years away from Earth and it is estimated to have a mass six times that of Jupiter . Several years ago, an international team of astronomers discovered a large planet floating freely through space with no star to orbit. Planets traditionally travel in a uniform, singular direction, around a star. However, the free-floating planet, named PSO J318.5-22, was found without a host. Its movement isn't structured, and scientists do not understand how it formed and they are baffled by what - if anything - controls it. PSO J318.5-22 was detected 80 light years away from Earth and it is estimated to have a mass six times that of Jupiter. Astronomers believe it formed 12 million years ago, and is considered a newborn in planetary terms - Earth is thought to be around 4.5 billion years old. Dr Michael Liu of the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii identified the rogue planet from its 'faint and unique heat signature'. We have never before seen an object free-floating in space that that looks like this. 'It has all the characteristics of young planets found around other stars, but it is drifting out there all alone,' explained Liu. 'If the ice layer is thick enough, then a planet can maintain an ocean of liquid water beneath the ice.' He calculates that the ice layer needs to be at least 10 km (6 miles) thick to prevent it from freezing for billions of years. Raymonds comments echo a similar conclusion reached by scientists in Chicago several years ago. They calculated that life can cling on to a planet for billions of years without a star to provide a direct source of warmth. Research by astrophysicists

Summary: Comments were made by Sean Raymond, an astrophysicist in France . He says internal heat of rogue planets could allow liquid water to form . Writing in Aeon, he also says a thick atmosphere may help life develop . Astronomers have found 50 of these rogue planets in the past 15 years .


People looking for low-maintenance animal companions have found their perfect match it seems. Russian artist Marina Yamkovskaia, 39, specializes in creating life-like bird dolls and says she can't keep up with orders. Indeed, on her website all of the critters appear to have sold out except for one $399 fluffy owl named Leo.

Pensioner David Atherton was shocked to find a three-foot snake slithering inside his oven when he innocently went to cook his pie and chips. The 65-year old from Halliwell, Bolton was just about to put his meal in the cooker when he caught sight of the black and white California king hiding inside. Atherton scooped up the reptile and placed it in a plastic food recycling box before alerting the police. Shocked: David Atherton, 65, went to put his meal in the oven when he discovered a three-foot California king snake (pictured) hiding inside . RSPCA officers came to collect the snake the same evening and it has been given a temporary home with a local conservationist since. Atherton's 73-year-old sister Margaret - who has a phobia of snakes - became severely distressed when she heard about the incident and needed to go to hospital with heart problems. He said: 'Her phobia is so bad she cannot even look at a snake on TV, let alone see one in real life. 'I would not like to hazard a guess as to what would have happened if she had been the one to open the oven and see it. It could have been much worse.' He added: 'When I pulled down the oven door I saw the snake hanging down from the side and and at first I thought it was part of a food packet, but then I realised what it was. 'There is a small gap between the oven and the fitted cupboards, which must be what it came through. 'You could not make it up and I must confess it is not something that happens every day.' Experts said the banded California king snakes can grow up to 6ft in length and were commonly kept as pets. Slither: Atherton - whose sister has an extreme phobia of snakes - scooped up the reptile and placed it inside a plastic food recycling box (pictured) RSPCA inspector Melissa Furey said it is common to see an influx of snakes coming out in April as the weather gets warmer. She added: 'It is the time of year when they come out basking in the sun - this is the second escaped snake in just over a week which has made an appearance in Greater Manchester. 'Pet owners need to be responsible and make sure they have the correct equipment - vivariums with locks - because snakes are really good escape artists and can slip through the smallest of gaps.'

The renowned sports psychiatrist Dr Steve Peters claims he did little more than give Jonathan Trott the tools to rebuild his England career. Warwickshire batsman Trott touched down in the West Indies with England on Thursday night, back in the international set-up for the first time since leaving last winter's Ashes tour with a stress-related illness. Trott has spoken openly of his struggles since, but has slowly rehabilitated his career with both Warwickshire and the England Lions and is now on the brink of returning to Tests. Jonathan Trott returns to the England set-up for the first time since taking a break with a stress-related illness . The 33-year-old has worked extensively with Dr Peters during the last year, learning from a man who has done notable work with the British cycling team, Liverpool FC and Ronnie O'Sullivan, and who introduced the 'Chimp Paradox' in a bid to help people better manage their own minds. But speaking in The Independent, Peters said there is no magic cure and that Trott had worked hard to counter his problems, which he described as 'situational anxiety'. He wrote: 'He ticked all the boxes. It was a foregone conclusion to me that he would make massive progress - I just hoped that he would then perform as he has been doing and justify his place. Now he has done that. Dr Steve Peters worked with the batsman and gave him the necessary tools to return to the game . 'He's an incredible cricketer. The advice I give to most of the people I work with is not to go public because obviously you're training people to do a skill. A lot of people don't understand it is a skill and therefore you might not get it right. 'People are expecting a magic-wand cure and that's not really the way it works. Jonathan decided he wanted to go public about this because he has done so well. 'It's a credit to the man. You can have periods in sport, sometimes a whole season, when things just aren't happening and you're just digging even harder to make it happen again - that's effectively what Jonathan has done. Trott has impressed since returning for Warwickshire and the England Lions, earning his return to the squad . 'From a psychological point of view, Jonathan is quite robust and certainly determined. It was just a case of giving him the tools to understand what was going on.' Peters, who helped mentor the golden generation of British cyclists and also worked with O'Sullivan for his last two world titles, can see no reason why Trott will not make a successful return to Test cricket. 'What Jonathan did was to take it very seriously, he meant business, which is a measure of the man,' he added. Peters (left) has worked with Liverpool, Ronnie O'Sullivan and the England football team in recent years . 'He was very open, hard-working, and what I effectively told him to do was to get some insights into the way his mind was working. Then it was up to

David Cameron has brushed off criticism that he is too posh, insisting he will not change the way he acts or speaks to win voters. The Prime Minister is apparently so proud to be posh he was happy to be pictured eating a hotdog with a knife and fork. The bizarre dining etiquette during a campaign visit to Dorset was almost certainly designed to avoid a repeat of Ed Miliband's disastrous attempt at eating a bacon sandwich. Scroll down for video . David Cameron ate his hotdog with cutlery as he enjoyed lunch with Lilli Docherty and her daughter Dakota in the sunshine during a visit to Poole in Dorset . It seems likely that Mr Cameron was trying to avoid the fate of Labour leader Ed Miliband, who was much mocked for his attempt to eat a bacon sandwich on the campaign trail last year . Few people can appear attractive while eating in public, but on the campaign trail a combination of hunger and not wishing to cause offence to hosts means it can be tricky to avoid. Mr Cameron's pitstop at a garden in Poole, Dorset yesterday include a spot of a lunch. The Tory leader loaded his plate with potato salad, cucumber, tomato and a hotdog before settling down next to Lilli Docherty and her daughter Dakota. But he surprised onlookers with his eating style, picking up a knife and fork to chop the hotdog. The PM has a chequered history with hotdogs. In 2010 he caused offence on a visit to New York when he asked for a plain sausage, without even onions. And in March 2012 he was said to have tried eating one sideways while at a basketball game with President Obama. He also sparked a mini-storm after opting for ketchup of mustard, the condiment of choice for many Americans. The Prime Minister obviously enjoyed his lunch, and was pictured leaning back in his chair in the sunshine . In a new interview the Old Etonian insists he has never tried to hide his privileged upbringing, and refuses to change the way he speaks or behaves . While aides may worry about the impression Mr Cameron gave by eating his BBQ food with cutlery, the man himself is unconcerned. In an interview to be broadcast tonight, he makes clear he is not going to change the way he behaves to hide his 'poshness'. The Old Etonian insists he has never tried to hide his privileged upbringing. He tells ITV's Tonight programme: 'I went to a very posh school, I had a very privileged upbringing with parents who were incredibly loving and brilliant. 'I've never tried to hide that, I'm not going to change my accent or talk in a different way.'

The 'coupon election' came in 1918, while critics branded the 1929 vote - when women first had full suffrage - the 'flapper election'. And, with just 23 days to go, the 2015 general election looks to be picking up a nickname of its own - the 'selfie election'. With less than four weeks until the ballot boxes open, politicians have been trying their best to get their faces in as many places as possible - literally - by posing relentlessly for the ubiquitous photos. Cheese: Keen to show he’s not out of touch, David Cameron poses for a selfie in Alnwick, Northumberland . Posing: Nick Clegg has also been getting in on the act with supporters in Maidstone, Kent . Grinning: Labour leader Ed Miliband poses for a selfie with staff during a campaign visit to Airedale Hospital maternity ward in Keighley, Yorkshire, on Saturday . Natural pose: Ukip leader Nigel Farage joins in with the craze on the campaign trail in South Ockenden, Essex . Conservative MPs were told at the start of the campaign to pose for 'selfies' as often as possible, to increase the party's exposure on social media websites, such as Facebook and Twitter. Since then, David Cameron has been seen donning cheesy grins on numerous occasions, as he poses beside voters during his country-wide visits. The PM, keen to show he is not out of touch, was seen posing for selfies during his visit to Alnwick, Northumberland, yesterday. But, as these images suggest, it appears the photo-taking craze has left no party untouched, with Ed Miliband, Nick Clegg and Nigel Farage also getting in on the action at every opportunity. This week, Clegg and Farage were both spotted posing with fans on the streets of Maidstone, Kent, and South Ockendon, Essex, respectively. Meanwhile, the grinning Labour leader took took charge of his own selfie shot, as he posed with staff during a campaign visit to Airedale Hospital maternity ward in Keighley, Yorkshire, on Saturday. At it again: Farage also joined three girls for a selfie during a visit to Himley Hall, near Dudley, last week . Snap: Clegg poses with local Lib Dem candidate Tom Brake (right) for a selfie in Carshalton, London, today . Game face: Cameron agrees to pose beside a local man on the campaign trail. PR tsars have reportedly told the Tory party to try and pose for as many selfies as possible during the election campaign . Thumbs up: Farage gestures happily to the camera as he poses with a group in the Thanet South constituency . And, so far, the tactic appears to have worked. A quick search of 'selfie election' on Twitter brings up thousands of tweets, most of which feature the grinning face of one of the party leaders. Last month, a senior Tory source admitted the 2015 General Election could become known as 'the selfie election', as party leaders find themselves mobbed by voters on the campaign trail. The source added: 'It is actually more powerful because obviously they will show their friends, post on Facebook.' He said

Summary: Politicians have posed for as many selfies as possible on campaign trail . PM stopped for selfies during visit to Alnwick, Northumberland, yesterday . Farage and Clegg also set aside time for ubiquitous photos while canvassing in Maidstone, Kent, and South Ockenden, Essex . Tory MPs told to pose with voters to increase exposure on social media .


Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has given Azerbaijan the all-clear ahead of its debut next season despite serious concerns over the country's human rights record. Human Rights Watch's 2015 report on the former Soviet republic stated there had been 'a dramatic deterioration in its already poor rights record' particularly in its treatment of opponents of the political regime. However, Ecclestone maintains F1 has conducted its due diligence on Azerbaijan. The capital, Baku, will host a street race to be known as the European Grand Prix. Bernie Ecclestone, speaking in Bahrain, has confirmed Azerbaijan will stage the European Grand Prix . The race will be held in the capital of Baku, despite the country's poor human rights record . Asked whether Azerbaijan's human rights record would be checked, the 84-year-old replied: 'We have. 'I think everybody seems to be happy. There doesn't seem to be any big problem there. 'There's no question of it not being on the calendar. It's going to be another good race.' The sport recently published a 'Statement of Commitment to Respect for Human Rights' that was posted on the formula1.com website. It said: 'The Formula One Group is committed to respecting internationally recognised human rights in its operations globally. 'Whilst respecting human rights in all of our activities, we focus our efforts in relation to those areas which are within our own direct influence.' It added that the sport would also 'identify and assess...any actual or potential adverse human rights impacts with which we may be involved either through our own activities or as a result of our business relationships, including, but not limited to, our suppliers and promoters.' Lewis Hamilton celebrates another victory at the Bahrain Grand Prix . The Mercedes driver has now won three of the opening four races this season . The Human Rights Watch report on Azerbaijan for 2015 was pretty damning. 'The Azerbaijani government escalated repression against its critics, marking a dramatic deterioration in its already poor rights record,' the report states. 'The authorities convicted or imprisoned at least 33 human rights defenders, political and civil activists, journalists, and bloggers on politically motivated charges, prompting others to flee the country or go into hiding. 'Authorities froze the bank accounts of independent civic groups and their leaders, impeded their work by refusing to register foreign grants, and imposed foreign travel bans on some. 'Many of those detained complained of ill-treatment in police custody. Many organisations, including several leading rights groups, were forced to cease activities.' Concerns remain, however, over the Italian Grand Prix, one of the most historic races in F1. Hamilton leads the 2014 Italian Grand Prix, although Monza's future on the circuit is uncertain . Ecclestone is currently negotiating with promoters at Monza over a new contract, with the current one due to expire after next year's race. Officials have made it clear they can no longer afford Ecclestone's terms and are hoping he will reduce his fees. Ecclestone, though, seems unconcerned at losing F1's heartland of Europe as key races such as those at Imola, France and Germany have disappeared.

Summary: The European Grand Prix will be staged in Azerbaijan next year . Former Soviet republic has been criticised for poor human rights record . Bernie Ecclestone claims F1 has conducted its due diligence .
