A family overheard a terrifying message on their young son's baby monitor after the device and its camera were hacked. When the Washington couple's three-year-old had first began complaining of someone talking to him at night, his parents had put it down to their toddler's over-active imagination, reported CBS New York. That was until one night when they heard a strange man's voice come over the monitor to tell their son: 'Wake up little boy, daddy's looking for you.' A couple heard the terrifying message: 'Wake up little boy, daddy's looking for you' come through their 3-year-old son's baby monitor (stock image) And the horrified parents, who do not want to be named for fear the unknown man could track them down, believe it is not just the audio monitor that has been hacked. They believe the stranger has also got into the camera on the device. After the first creepy message, the boy's mother had walked into the room and overheard the hacker saying, 'Look someone's coming' or 'Someone's coming into view.' The mother said she broke down in tears after the realization hit home that a total stranger was able to control the camera to watch their son and spy on them. The stranger had managed to hack the baby monitor and the family says the hacker was even able to remotely control the camera on the monitor (stock image) She told CBS New York: 'Well, I started to cry in there, because it all started coming back to me, and I started figuring things out.' They reported the incident to Foscam, the company where they bought their monitor, who admitted it was possible the device's cameras were being controlled remotely but they could not say from where. Technology experts have now warned that it is becoming easier for hackers to infiltrate family's baby monitors as many of the newer devices connect to the internet. 'It's basically like they're standing next to you in your house,' Lance Ulanoff, chief correspondent for the digital media website Mashable,CBS. He warned that parents should change the passwords on the devices to make it more difficult for people to guess. Because some new baby monitors connect to the internet and come with a smartphone app, it has become easier for hackers to infiltrate them and listen in or speak to children . 'If somebody else has your login information, they can go to that same app, and log into your webcam, which is what happened here,' Ulanoff said. Earlier this month, another couple - this time from Rochester, Minnesota - discovered their baby monitors and cameras had been infiltrated after they found footage from the nanny cam posted online, according to Redbook. They first became suspicious after they heard music coming in from their baby's room. 'We were sleeping in bed, and basically heard music coming from the nursery, but then when we went into the room the music turned off,' she told KTTC. When she tracked down the IP address which was streaming the music, she found a web link to a page

Summary: Washington couple's son began complaining of someone talking to him . One night they heard: 'Wake up little boy daddy's looking for you' Also believe hacker has infiltrated the device's camera to watch their son . Tech experts warned baby monitors linked to internet are more vulnerable .

She's previously spoken of her love of shoes, claiming she's a 'girly girl' whose footwear gives her added 'confidence', so it was no surprise Foreign Minister Julie Bishop was starstruck when she caught up with her fashion icon - world-renowned shoemaker Jimmy Choo. And while she may have been in the presence of shoe royalty, Ms Bishop fell victim to one of the cardinal sins of fashion, by failing to wear 66-year-old Mr Choo's designs during their meeting, opting for another designer's shoes instead. Ms Bishop was in Perth over the Easter holidays to meet wives and partners of SAS members, while shoe designer Jimmy Choo, who is the tourism ambassador for Malaysia, is currently in the West Australian city to host his first ever Australian masterclass.

UEFA's general secretary Gianni Infantino has warned that there will be no choice but to suspend Greece from international football unless the country's government rescinds proposed new laws. The Greek government has put forward a bill which could see sporting events cancelled due to incidents of crowd violence and teams prohibited from playing in European competition. UEFA and FIFA say that is direct government interference in football and have threatened to suspend Greece. Panathinakos' game against Olympiakos in February was marred by crowd trouble in Athens . Greek government have proposed new laws banning teams from European competitions, but UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino says they are not allowed to directly interfere with football . Infantino said: 'Sadly there will be no other choice than to suspend the Greek Football Federation if this new legislation is passed because football does not allow government interference. 'There are currently three other countries, outside of Europe, which are currently facing similar issues - Indonesia, Pakistan and Zimbabwe. I think people in Greece should be very concerned because a suspension will have a serious impact on their football. 'Don't forget that it will affect more than the national team. If your clubs don't play in our competitions, their coefficient will also drop, meaning that less teams can qualify for the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League.' UEFA and FIFA sent a final letter of warning on Wednesday but the Greek government is refusing to back down. Greece's deputy sports minister Stavros Kontonis told Greek television on Wednesday night: 'We are not going to change the philosophy of the sports bill. The supervision exercised in Greek football by FIFA and UEFA has failed.' Greek police try to stop Panathinaikos fans who invaded the pitch during a Greek Super League match .

'He was just a poor old man, he was just defenseless, you could see it in his face.' The truck driver tried to ward off his attacker, even swinging what appears to be a tire iron at one point, but still the beating continued. The aggressor, driving a Toyota, even refused to stop fighting as Solis and his friend tried to end the attack, and at one point got in the face of Solis' friend. That is when the friend clocked the man, leaving him out cold on the side of the highway. 'It was more of instinct than anything. We weren't looking for any kind of trouble. We were just trying to keep the guy from getting hurt,' Solis told ABC 7. Tommy Solis (above) was driving by and filmed the incident, eventually getting out of his car to try and stop the fighting .

A Walmart employee has been applauded for his honesty after finding $4,400 worth of cash in the parking lot and handing it over to authorities, who returned it to its relieved owner. Brian Cassidy was picking up trash outside the store in Bangor, Maine on Thursday when he discovered the wet stack of money beneath a large piece of paper in the parking lot. He immediately contacted store security to tell them what he had found and, realizing it was a sizable sum, they then contacted the police department, Sergeant Tim Cotton said. Officer Dustin Dow went to the store to take the report and learned that a man had visited the security office last winter to claim he had lost about $4,000 in the parking lot. Great work: Brian Cassidy, right, is pictured being presented with a Bangor Police Department Challenge coin by an officer after he found $4,400 cash in a Walmart parking lot and alerted security . The man, who was later identified as Ou Chen, said at the time that he had put the money in an envelope in his pocket after leaving work at a nearby restaurant. He had intended to send the money home to his family, Cotton said. But after clearing snow off his car and driving home, he realized that his pocket was empty. Chen went to the security office to ask if the money had been turned in or if surveillance footage had revealed what could have happened to it, but nothing emerged. When Dow heard of the story, he went to the nearby restaurant, Kobe Steakhouse, and asked for the man, and Chen confirmed he had misplaced the cash. After counting the money at the station, the officer returned to the restaurant to give it back to him - and to take a picture showing him gladly accepting it. Returned: The money belonged to Ou Chen, who lost the $4,000 as he cleared snow off his car last winter after leaving his job at a nearby restaurant. He told Walmart about it at the time but they could not find it . Stash: Cassidy found the money, pictured, while picking up trash near the Walmart parking lot last Thursday . Cotton applauded Brian for his honesty, particularly because the Walmart employee found the money while working at a job that does not pay much. 'Brian is not getting rich doing this and has dealt with other issues over the past year,' Cotton explained in a lengthy Facebook post. 'Brian, like many people, has even had to sleep in his car for a time when things were rough.' In recognition of his honesty, Cassidy was presented with a Bangor Police Department Challenge coin 'for being honest and having great integrity in doing his job', the department said. 'Brian Cassidy personifies what we hope is in all of us,' Cotton wrote. 'Thanks Brian, the men and women of the Bangor Police Department salute you.' Scene: Cassidy, who works at this Walmart in Bangor, Maine, was thanked for his honesty and integrity .

Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge believes Raheem Sterling will only be happy if he plays regularly and hopes he will remain at the club to do that. Sterling is stalling on a new £100,000-a-week contract offer, although he insists it has nothing to do with money and he will reassess his options at the end of the season. The 20-year-old, who has been linked with a number of Europe's top clubs, was one of four players at the Anfield launch of next season's New Balance kit in front of over 1,000 fans, with one shouting from the crowd 'Make sure we see you in it next season'.

Sterling (centre right) poses with Martin Skrtel (left), Simon Mignolet (centre left) and Daniel Sturridge (right) The four Liverpool players huddle together on stage at the launch of their new home kit for next season . Sturridge uploaded this to his Instagram account as he posed with Sterling, Mignolet and Skrtel at the launch . Sturridge posed with his team-mates and uploaded these snaps to his Instagram account . That made the youngster slightly more uncomfortable than he already was perched on a stool on stage, and speaking afterwards Sturridge said having regular football - which he is virtually guaranteed at Liverpool but possibly not elsewhere - was a key consideration for Sterling. 'I don't know what Raheem wants to do but it is just important to be able to play regularly,' he told Press Association Sport. 'As long as he is playing regularly he will be happy - I don't think it is anything to with anything other than that and I hope he will stay at the club. 'It is important, regardless of who you are, to show what you can do - not just for Raheem but any young player. 'It is important to play games and gain experience so whatever decision he makes I am behind him 100 per cent.' Sturridge experienced something similar himself when he left Manchester City for Chelsea aged 19 but things did not pan out how he would have liked at Stamford Bridge and he left for Liverpool in January 2012 after 63 appearances in four years. As he matured he has enjoyed greater success at Anfield, scoring 40 goals in 67 appearances but his good form was interrupted this season by a five-month absence with a thigh problem. Since returning in January he has scored four times in 15 games and some of his performances have drawn criticism simply because he has not matched the heights of last season when, playing alongside Luis Suarez, he scored 24 times. Daniel Sturridge is bidding to return to his best form following a lengthy spell out through injury . However, the England striker knew he would not rediscover his best form immediately, which he believes will only come with a full pre-season under his belt. 'It has taken time to get back into the groove. I have missed a lengthy time and

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has reminded Raheem Sterling and Jordon Ibe about their professional responsibilities and urged them to learn from a chastening week. Sterling, the England international who will lead Liverpool’s line at Wembley on Sunday in the absence of the injured Daniel Sturridge, was exposed for inhaling the legal high nitrous oxide on Monday.

Rodgers, who has Steven Gerrard available for the FA Cup semi-final with Aston Villa, spoke to Sterling and Ibe in his office on Thursday but neither will be disciplined and Rodgers now wants to draw a line under the matter. He said: ‘It is understanding that when you are a professional, elite sportsperson, there are things you can and cannot be doing and be seen to be doing. ‘It’s not just for your welfare but also because of your responsibilities. ‘It is difficult. Some of these young guys are doing what you would consider to be normal things — and I’m not talking about this instance — (but) how it gets framed is totally different.’ Rodgers would not discuss whether he would give Gerrard, available after a three-match suspension, an immediate recall against Villa, making it clear that his sole priority is steering Liverpool into their first FA Cup final of his reign. They fell short in the title race last season and then faltered in the last four of the Capital One Cup in January, but Rodgers thinks they are ready to progress. Reds have captain Steven Gerrard (centre) back for their FA Cup semi after serving a three-match suspension . ‘When you get so close, whether it was in the title race or the cup, it hurts,’ said Rodgers. ‘Trace back the winners in sport. If you look at everything they have won, also look at what they have lost. You will see that they go close on a number of occasions before they step on. ‘Look at players who have won Champions Leagues and you trace back and see they have also lost Champions League semi-finals and finals. It’s all part of the journey — losing but taking that forward and improving you.’ Rodgers (left) hasn't revealed whether he'll recall Gerrard for Sunday's clash against Aston Villa at Wembley .

Burying the dead along with a human sacrifice was common in ancient Korea. But an unusual tomb dating to between the 5th and 6th century seems to hold the remains of two lovers, one of whom may have been killed so the pair could lie together for eternity. The skeletons were found on top of one another in the tomb from Korea’s Silla Dynasty, leading some experts suggesting that the set-up could even have been designed to show two people having sex. An unusual tomb dating to between the 5th and 6th century seems to hold the remains of two lovers, one of whom may have been killed so the pair could lie together for eternity. Here, the bones of the two people can be seen on top of one another, leading some experts to suggest the set-up was designed to imitate sex . Archaeologists are almost certain that the tomb was intended for a noblewoman and believe that the man she is lying with may have been killed so he could be buried with her. The tomb is made of soil and stone and was discovered last December in Hwangnam-dong, a neighbourhood of Gyeongju City in South Korea,Korea Joongang Daily reported. It was the capital of ancient Silla for almost 1,000 years and is known for its intricate gold ornaments and Buddhist temples. The remains of the two people, including leg bones and teeth, were found in the main chamber of the tomb and are thought to have died between the ages of 20 and 30. Experts believe the tomb was intended for the woman, because her body is carefully positioned to face the sky and she was buried with gold earrings, indicating her high status. A belt, beaded necklace and jade green jewels were also found with her skeleton. It is not known whether she died naturally or was killed.

A sword and horse harness was discovered in another room of the tomb, indicating she was used to riding a horse and carrying a weapon, which was not unusual during the Silla Dynasty, which sometimes had women rulers.

Researchers plan to drill 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) below the surface of the Chicxulub crater in Mexico to try and answer the question of how the dinosaurs died out. The core they hope to retrieve will allow them to look back in time 10 million to 15 million years into the past. It could help uncover exactly what happened to create the crater - and if it killed off the dinosaurs. UK researchers studied the asteroid impact 66 million years ago (illustration shown). They found the heat near the impact site in Mexico was not intense enough to ignite plant material. A heat pulse lasted less than a minute, too short to set plants alight . The impact site is believed to be the 125 mile (200km) wide Chicxulub crater buried underneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. When the six-mile-wide (10km) asteroid hit what is now Mexico approximately 66 million years ago, dinosaurs were experiencing environmental upheaval, which left them vulnerable. Previous researcher has questioned the theory that a global firestorm accompanied the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs. A team of researchers has found that heat near the impact site would not have been sufficient to ignite plants. It suggests our understanding of the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs may not be as complete as thought. 'The Chicxulub impact crater has been a remarkable scientific opportunity for the 20 years since it's been discovered,' Sean Gulick, of The University of Texas at Austin Institute for Geophysics, told Livescience. An international team of scientists met last week in Mérida, Mexico, located within the 125-mile-wide (200 kilometers) Chicxulub crater, to discuss their plans for the drilling project, slated to start in spring 2016. They believe that when a big rock smashes into Earth at high enough velocities, the collision causes the crust temporarily to act like a liquid, first forming a so-called transient crater (like the indentation that forms on a lake surface after a rock is thrown in), and the center rebounds, or splashes, upward and then outward. 'We think the peak ring is the record of the material that rebounded and splashed outward,' Gulick told Live Science. All of these ideas are based on models and aren't necessarily what happened. 'We've never gotten a rock back from a peak ring to know if that's correct,' Gulick said.

A bartender and model has filed a civil lawsuit against the police, claiming officers used excessive force during her arrest when they slammed her to the ground, breaking four bones in her face. Megan Sheehan, of San Francisco, said that camera footage of Bay Area Rapid Transit officers and Oakland Police conflict with what police say happened the night she was knocked unconscious at Santa Rita Jail. She had been arrested and booked at the Santa Rita Jail for suspicion of resisting arrest, battery on a police officer and public intoxication on St. Patrick's Day of 2014. Megan Sheehan, of San Francisco, was knocked unconscious and suffered broken facial bones and cracked teeth after police took her to ground at Santa Rita Jail . Sheehan claims that camera footage of Bay Area Rapid Transit officers and Oakland Police conflict with what police say happened - that she was guided to the ground after 'violently punching' Security and body camera footage shows Sheehan being booked into the jail after a night of heavy drinking when two officers grab Sheehan's arms and slam her to the ground. Sheehan, who said she's psychologically still recovering from the attack, suffered severe facial injuries and was left bloodied, lying on the ground after the incident. She said that she is embarrassed with how drunk she was the night she was arrested, but that didn't warrant the force the police used. 'I should have never gotten that drunk, but also there are ways to detain someone and not break their face,' she told ABC. Sheehan was arrested by a BART officer, which she said she deserved because she was being drunk and belligerent. She was intoxicated, 'verbally argumentative' and didn't appear to be able to take care of herself, BART Police who found her sitting on a bench inside a station said, according to SF Gate. In the right side of the video frame, Sheehan can be seen being grabbed by two officers who take her to the ground. She then loses consciousness and police call for medical assistance . As Sheehan lies unconscious in a pool of her own blood, medical staff and an officer try to tend to her injuries. Medical staff were called after a woman behind the jail counter asked if Sheehan was 'down', and officers told her 'you might want medical', according to body camera footage . She had to be taken to the ground to be handcuffed and she hit an officer in the shoulder as well as kicked him in the face, police said. She was booked on resisting arrest, battery on a police officer and public intoxication. Sheehan was taken to Santa Rita jail in Dublin, where her handcuffs were removed so she could remove her jewelry. She was 'initially compliant', but after she was told she couldn't bring a hair tie into the jail, she threw it at one of the officers. She then 'inexplicably' started looking through her purse and didn't stop when asked to do so, BART police said. Officer Nolan Pianta put her in an 'arm

Depraved militants fighting for the Islamic State in Iraq have brutally beheaded four men accused of theft, before displaying their bodies on railings in a town square. Taken in ISIS' northern stronghold of Mosul, the photographs show four men being interviewed by the terrorists before they are dragged before bloodthirsty crowds eager to see their executions. The savage punishment is a significantly more extreme than ISIS' usual punishment for theft - which typically sees the accused having their right hand hacked-off by machete-wielding jihadis who pump the men full of drugs to numb the limb before severing it from the victim's body. Sentenced to beheading: One of the four men is seen blindfolded and forced to his knees in central Mosul while a masked Islamic State militant reads out the charges against him . Interview: All of the men wear their beards without moustaches in a style commonly associated with Islamist beliefs and their military-style clothing suggests the victims may well have been fighters themselves . The first photograph shows the four men sitting on a sofa in what appears to an interview-type situation with their jihadi captors. All of the men wear their beards without moustaches in a style commonly associated with Islamist beliefs and their military-style clothing suggests the victims may well have been fighters themselves. If the men were ISIS members, that could be one explanation for why they were given considerably harsher punishments than those usually received by ordinary citizens accused of similar crimes. A second photograph shows one of the men blindfolded and forced to his knees in a town square while a masked militant reads out the charges against him. Huge crowds are seen in the streets, with bloodthirsty young fathers and their children jostling for position in order to get a better view of the savage scene. A final photograph shows all four men on their knees as the knife-wielding militants swarm upon them, before carrying out the brutal beheadings. Locals on the ground suggested the men's decapitated bodies were later put on public display in central Mosul. Public execution: Huge crowds are seen in the streets, with bloodthirsty young fathers and their children jostling for position in order to get a better view of the savage scene . Sickening: All four men are seen on their knees in central Mosul as the knife-wielding Islamic State militants swarm upon them to carry out the brutal beheadings . Yesterday U.S.-led forces targeted ISIS with eight airstrikes in Iraq and conducted five airstrikes in Syria, the U.S. military said. The air strikes, conducted since Sunday morning, hit near Bayji, Mosul and Ramadi, in Iraq, destroying fighting positions, mortar positions and a sniper position, the Combined Joint Task Force said in a statement. In Syria, the air strikes destroyed eight fighting positions, an ISIS tunnel system and a vehicle near Hasaka, a vehicle near the terrorists' de facto capital Raqqa, and two buildings in Kobane, it said. The news comes as Iraq's prime minister vowed to protect the people living in territories controlled by ISIS from any retribution

What was supposed to be a day spent visiting a famous earthwork sculpture soon turned into a massive rescue effort as 20 strangers joined forces to help rescue a dog out of a tar pit. With no cell phone reception to call for help, owner Tom George had to leave his dog Shelby stuck in a pool by the Great Salt Lake's Spiral Jetty and drive an hour out to the nearest town. But, lucky for George, a family was willing to stay with Shelby - and only more and more strangers followed as they heard his story. Scroll down for video . Twenty strangers joined forces to help rescue a dog named Shelby out of a tar pit he had gotten stuck in near the shoreline of the Great Salt Lake . As more people came, they began bringing items to try and help get Shelby out, using grocery bags, car floor mats, tarp, garbage bags, a straw hat and even bare hands . 'The whole time I was driving I kind of figured there was already a really good chance he was already gone,' George told Fox 13 Salt Lake City. And at first the situation looked 'pretty hopeless', according to Max McGregor, whose family stayed with the dog. 'I was pretty sure that the back legs, the way they were positioned, they were going to snap right where the knee was,' said McGregor's daughter Chloe. Todd Tanner, a Fox 13 reporter who was supposed to shoot video of the Spiral Jetty that day, said only Shelby's head was visible from the pit. He thought the dog was dying. But then a family who was visiting the shoreline with a photography group came over to help. And a huge group of friends from Salt Lake City jumped in as well. As more people came, they began bringing items to try and help get Shelby out, using grocery bags, car floor mats, tarp, garbage bags, a straw hat and even bare hands. With no cell phone reception to call for help, owner Tom George had to leave his dog Shelby stuck by the Great Salt Lake's Spiral Jetty and drive an hour out to the nearest town . But the group was able to separate the dog from the tar, piece by piece, as they continued to put objects in to pit to keep Shelby from getting stuck again or from continuing to sink lower into the pool of tar . Shelby still couldn't move after he was freed from the pits, so five people helped carry him to the road and saw that George had come back just in time . Max McGregor said that as they separated the dog from the tar piece by piece, they would continue putting objects in the pit to keep Shelby from getting stuck again or continuing to sink. According to Tanner, no one in the newly-formed group 'knew exactly what to do', but they worked for over an hour together to find a way to get Shelby out. 'Total strangers talked, and worked,

Summary: Tom George's dog Shelby got stuck by the Great Salt Lake's Spiral Jetty . George had no cell phone reception and had to drive an hour to the nearest town for help . But strangers who were planning to visit the famous earthwork sculpture instead spent over an hour to get the dog out . Veterinarians removed 40lbs off Shelby, who has since recovered .

Famished and queuing despondently as far as the eye can see, these images will have the Islamic State's slick propaganda unit spitting feathers. In scenes more familiar in the most impoverished refugee camps, scores of downtrodden Syrians wait in line for hours for food in the terror group's self-declared capital Raqqa. It's a far cry from the all-conquering image of prosperity its jihadi PR machine would like the world to believe. The pictures were posted on Twitter by a member of the anti-ISIS campaign group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently who risk their lives every day by documenting atrocities from inside the city. Scroll down for video . Impoverished: Dozens of Syrians queue for food in the Islamic State's self-declared capital of Raqqa . Downtrodden: In scenes more familiar in the most impoverished refugee camps, the pictures are a far cry from the all-conquering image of prosperity that terror group's slick PR machine would like the world see . Abu Ibrahim Raqqawi one of the group's founders, wrote the accompanying message: 'Lines waiting for some food. Yes this is the #ISIS State. Hunger, poverty and homelessness.' For those lucky enough to have a home, he paints a bleak picture of life spent in the dark and cold for hours on end. 'The city suffers from a shortage of electricity where the power goes off for 21 hours in the day,' he wrote in another tweet. ISIS prides itself on its well-oiled propaganda offensive, pumping out images, videos and even a weekly English-language magazine designed to recruit and radicalise would-be jihadists. Co-ordinated by its AlHayat Media Centre, the terror group makes extensive use of social media to keep in near-constant contact with supporters in the West - even selling branded merchandise such as T-shirts, baseball caps and cuddly toys. But as seen here, that ease of disseminating information can easily backfire. Most of the Syrians in this line appear to be woman and children. The pictures were posted on Twitter by the anti-ISIS group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently who risk their lives leaking information from the city . The food queue pictures emerged days after ISIS took their draconian rule to bizarre new levels by threatening to jail any man caught wearing skinny jeans in an apparent crackdown on hipsters. The terror group said it would also imprison anyone caught with music on their mobiles, smoking or turning up late for prayer in the city. Violators will be jailed for ten days, during which time they will be made to take an 'Islamic course'. At the end of their prison term, they will be forced to take a test, with those who pass being released immediately. Those who don't will be fined and kept in prison until they do. Other sickening sentences involve people being stoned to death for alleged adultery and thrown off buildings after being accused of being homosexual.

Renault managing director Cyril Abiteboul has boldly declared to Red Bull team principal Christian Horner his aim that come late May there will be no further power-unit issues. Last week Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz warned Renault to solve their problems otherwise he would consider pulling his teams out of Formula One. A few days later Renault endured a Chinese Grand Prix to forget as Daniil Kvyat's Red Bull and the Toro Rosso of Max Verstappen both suffered a power-unit failure. Remarkably, Abiteboul has now confirmed of being aware of the fact the system had a fault, one he is confident will be fixed come the Monaco Grand Prix next month. Renault's Cyril Abiteboul (left) has promised Red Bull that the engine problems will be resolved . 'We knew there was a weakness, so there was a plan in place,' said Abiteboul. 'We need to make sure the plan is good enough for the size of the issues we have had, and whether it can be addressed fairly quickly. 'I'm not quite sure, from a logistical perspective, it could be addressed for this weekend's race in Bahrain. 'But certainly our aim has been to have absolutely no reliability issues by Monaco. 'We knew the first engine we built had some reliability weaknesses, and unfortunately we saw that in China. Unhappy Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz threatened to pull out of Formula One . 'The plan is to make sure the future engine we will be building has absolutely no reliability issues.' That is of little comfort to Horner who goes into the fourth race of the season with one of his drivers having used two engines when only four are allowed per season otherwise penalties start to be applied. 'I don't think anybody expected us to be on engine three after race three in any of our scenarios,' said an unhappy Horner. 'We accept sometimes to find performance you've got to take some risks. Calculated risks are what Red Bull has always bought into. Daniil Kvyat's Red Bull and the Toro Rosso of Max Verstappen both suffered a power-unit failure in China . 'But the frustrating thing for both parties is we're in this situation with three of our allotted four engines in use going into race four. 'It isn't where we wanted to be, but we've got to work our way out of it.' Asked as to how he would manage this weekend given the fear of yet another engine failure, Horner replied: 'You've just got to go for it and hope for the best.'

Wylie Brys (pictured) and his dad, Dallas zookeper Tim Brys, were digging for fossils near a grocery store when Wylie found the dinosaur bones . A five-year-old boy in Dallas has had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of discovering 100million-year-old dinosaur bones while searching for fossils with his dad. Wylie Brys was digging with his dad, Tim Brys, back in September at a construction site near a Mansfield, Texas, grocery store when he made the ancient discovery. 'He walked up ahead of me and found a piece of bone,' Dallas zookeeper Brys said. 'It was a pretty good size and I knew I had something interesting.' The pair had been finding fish vertebrae, but when Wylie came back with the bone, Brys asked him to take him to where he found it, according to KSAX. And now, scientists from Southern Methodist University have helped a Dallas zookeeper and his 5-year-old son excavate the fossil. Tim Brys and his son Wylie worked at the excavation site Tuesday to dig up what paleontology professor Dale Winkler believes could be a nodosaur, a pony-sized dinosaur that dwelled on land. Though Brys and Wylie discovered the fossil last September, it took over seven months to obtain necessary permits to dig up the bones. Scientists started digging last Friday, according to the Dallas Morning News. At the time, the zookeeper, who often leisurely digs for fossils with his son, was not sure what Wylie, then four years old, had found. Wylie (left) and his dad Tim Brys (right) often go on fossil-searching trips as a way to be outside and spend time together. It's believed that the bones Wylie found belong to a nodosaur, a a pony-sized herbivore with scaly, plated skin . The two kept digging because they knew there was a chance of finding Jurassic period marine life remnants in the area. What they found was the nodosaur - meaning 'knobby lizard' in Greek. The lizards were 15-foot-long, scaly-plated plant eaters that could weigh up to about 2,000 pounds according to the Dallas Zoo. 'My dad told me it was a turtle,' Wylie said Tuesday at the site of his discovery. 'But now he's telling me it's a dinosaur.' University experts said it is rare to find a dinosaur in the Dallas area. Wylie Brys, 5, background, watches as Southern Methodist University's Michael Polcyn (right) supervises the removal of a dinosaur bones encased plaster from Mansfield, Texas on Tuesday. University experts say it's rare to find dinosaur remains in the Dallas area . The fossils were wrapped in burlap and plaster to create a protective shell around the bones, like a cast around a human's broken bones. They will be transported to Southern Methodist University for cleaning and assembly, which will likely take months, Winkler said. He added that excavation will continue at the site for the next week or so before construction crews continue building in the area, but that it is unlikely for another dinosaur to be discovered at that site. Brys isn't expertly trained in searching for fossils, but he learned a few tips

The first signs of dark matter interacting with a force other than gravity may have been found. Until now it was thought that dark matter did not interact with anything other than gravity, earning it its ‘dark’ moniker and making its detection incredibly difficult. But the discovery of a ‘clump’ lagging behind a galaxy suggests that it may not be as oblivious to our universe as we thought. Durham University scientists studied a 'clump' of dark matter that appears to be lagging behind its galaxy - suggesting it interacts with itself. In this Hubble image, the lagging clump can be seen on the left of the central cluster. The distribution of dark matter in the cluster is shown with blue contour lines . Dark matter is confusing because it interacts with nothing - including itself. This is despite seeming to account for 85 per cent of the universe’s mass and having an observable effect on galaxies: without dark matter, our galaxies would ‘fall apart’ as they spin. Aside from gravity, though, dark matter seemed to just pass through the universe without interacting with any other mass, such as humans, planets or stars. Now an international team of researchers at Durham University has found a clump offset from a galaxy by 5,000 light-years, suggesting that is not the case. When physicists study the dynamics of galaxies and the movement of stars, they are confronted with a mystery. If they only take visible matter into account, their equations don't add up; the elements that can be observed are not sufficient to explain the rotation of objects and the existing gravitational forces. There is something missing. From this they deduced there must be an invisible kind of matter that does not interact with light but does, as a whole, interact by means of the gravitational force. Called 'dark matter', this substance appears to make up 85 per cent of the matter in the known universe. When it comes to the total energy in the universe, though, it's a different story. Astronomers have found that the total mass/energy content of the universe is split in the proportions 68 per cent dark energy, 27 per cent dark matter and 5 per cent 'normal' matter. Dark energy is an unknown force across the whole cosmos that seems to be accelerating the expansion of the universe. So the 85 per cent figure above relates only to the fraction of 'matter' that is dark. The discovery was made around one of the galaxies in the Abell 3827 cluster, 1.3 billion light-years away. Here, four galaxies are colliding around the centre of the cluster. The team used the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile, along with images from Hubble, to view Abell 3827. The offset is important because it is only possible if dark matter interacts with itself through forces other than gravity. If the particles collide with each other, the friction from the collisions would cause the dark matter to slow down, and fall behind the galaxy. The nature of that interaction is unknown; it could

Summary: Durham University scientists studied a 'clump' of dark matter . It was found to lag behind the galaxy it was associated with . This suggests dark matter particles can self-interact and slow down . It means dark matter may not be as oblivious to our universe as we thought .

Nicola Adams has been forced to withdraw from this weekend's English National Championships following a burglary at her home in Leeds. Adams and other family members were at home at the time but were not aware of the break-in, in which two cars, training kit and valuable personal possessions were taken. Adams had been due to contest the women's 51kg flyweight division including a prospective final showdown against her Great Britain rival Lisa Whiteside. Olympic gold medallist Nicola Adams has had to pull out of the English National Championships . Adams said in a statement: 'Nothing makes me prouder than boxing on home ground with the support I get from the nation. 'So, after much thought and discussion with England Boxing, I'm deeply regretful to have to pull out. It's not an easy time for me and my family. We would like to thank everyone for their understanding and support - the boxing team, the police and all my supporters.' Adams had been due to fight on Saturday in what would have been her first fight in England since her gold medal triumph at London 2012. Victory was likely to have taken her through to the Sunday final to face Whiteside - a former police officer - who won a world silver medal last year in Adams' injury-enforced absence. Adams (right) decided not to fight after a burglary at her home, which occurred while she was in the house . The bout at Liverpool's Echo Arena was widely seen to have been an opportunity for Adams to reassert her dominance over her rival as part of preparations for next year's Rio Olympics. England Boxing chief executive Mark Abberley said: 'The most important thing is that Nicola and her family were unharmed and our thoughts and best wishes are with them. 'We were looking forward to Nicola taking part in the first ever England Boxing Championships in which the men and women's finals are held as part of the same tournament, however it is completely understandable that Nicola does not feel in any fit state to compete and we wish her all the very best in coming to terms with this upsetting incident.'

Summary: Nicola Adams and her family were at home during the break-in . But thieves left with two cars, training kit, and other valuables . Adams will not fight at English National Championships this weekend . ABAE chief Mark Abberley called decision 'completely understandable'


Scottish drinkers are so cautious of the country's new drink-driving limits bar sales have plummeted by 60 per cent - a reduction in spending so severe it's damaging the country's financial growth. Under the new Scottish drink-drive law, enacted on December 5, the limit was cut from 80mg per 100ml of blood to just 50mg. And the effect of the drop in sales is so severe, it is being blamed for a poor result in the country's latest Bank of Scotland PMI report. Scotland's tough new drink driving law is being blamed for stalling the country's financial growth . Donald MacRae, chief economist at Bank of Scotland, said: 'Manufacturing exporters have been affected by the falling euro while services businesses in hospitality are seeing a changing pattern of spending resulting from the lowered alcohol limit while driving.' The report follows a February study which revealed the country's bar sales had dropped by 60 per cent when the new limit was introduced. Publicans are now concerned the new laws will have a greater effect on bars and drinking establishments than the 2006 smoking ban. Paul Waterson, chief executive of the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, told The Independent the new law - which matches limits across much of Continental Europe - was a 'form of prohibition'. He said: 'It’s stopped people having a drink at lunchtime, or having a drink on the way home from work. People aren’t coming in for food with their families on a Sunday afternoon. Hospitality industry leaders claim the new law is stopping moderate drinkers from having a tipple at lunch or on their way home from work . 'We feel it’s had an effect far worse than the smoking ban had in 2006. There’s questions being asked about the future of the trade – it’s probably the last nail in the coffin for independent operators.' The February study, carried out by purchasing firm Beacon, revealed there was a surge in interest in non-alcoholic drinks and smaller glass sizes. Tennant Hilditch, director of sales, said the first two months of the new drink driving laws had shown a 'real impact' on the country's hospitality industry. He said: 'Traditional lunchtime drinkers, or post-golf drinkers in the clubhouse have been particularly affected by the new rules. 'So much so, that we are seeing demand for smaller glasses, weaker beers, a trend towards introducing earlier lunch sittings so guests or golfers can stay longer and do not return to the roads as quickly, as well as an increased interest in "mocktails".' In the wake of the law change, Police Scotland assistant chief constable Bernard Higgins encouraged drinkers to 'leave the car at home' if they were planning to go for a drink. He said: 'There is no safe amount of alcohol in the body if you drive. It is clear when it comes to drinking and driving, that the simple "the best advice is none" message is the right one.' While the limit brings Scotland in line with the rest of Europe, it is significantly lower than that of England and Wales

Summary: Scotland's strict new drink-driving law sees bar sales drop by 60 per cent . Lack of spending is being blamed for stalling the country's financial growth . Publicans are concerned it is having a worse effect than 2006 smoking ban . Hospitality industry leaders claim the law comprises a 'form of prohibition'


On trial: Former Ukip MEP Ashley Mote (pictured arriving at London's Southwark Crown Court today) is accused of a string of fraud-related offences . A former Ukip MEP fraudulently claimed almost £500,000 in European Parliament expenses - using some of it to fund his domestic court battles, a court heard today. Ashley Mote, 79, of Binsted, Hampshire, is accused of a string of fraud-related offences including acquiring criminal property and obtaining a money transfer by deception. Some of the money he allegedly made from the fraud went towards funding various legal costs he had built up as a result of being prosecuted in the UK for benefit fraud offences, a jury at London's Southwark Crown Court was told. He denies 11 offences alleged to have taken place between November 2004 and July 2010. Jonathan Davies, prosecuting, said that as an MEP, Mote could claim expenses, including a Parliamentary Assistance Allowance, or Secretarial Allowance, to help fund his work. Mr Davies said: ‘What the prosecution say happened between 2004 and 2009, when Mr Mote ceased to be an MEP, is that he abused that allowance by submitting false claims for payment for work which he said to the European Parliament had been done by organisations working on his behalf.’ Jurors heard that two of the organisations had previously campaigned against UK membership of the European Union. They were the Better Off Out Fund (Boof), and Direct Action Resistance To Tyranny (Dartt). However, it is alleged that neither of these companies conducted any work for Mote, who made claims of £16,000 against Boof, and £54,000 to Dartt. ‘They were simply used as a front to perpetrate, carry out fraud and to receive monies from the European Parliament,’ said Mr Davies. European Parliament in Brussels: Prosecutors claim Mote was 'using European Parliament money to fund his defence and various appeals in connection with being prosecuted for benefit fraud' Mote is also said to have falsely claimed £5,000 a month for work he claimed had been carried out by Estonia based company Icos (Information Centrum Owned State). It is alleged that he even set up a Danish bank account under the similar name of ‘Information Centrim OS’ for funds from the European Parliament to be paid into, ‘dishonestly obtaining’ approximately €355,000. Giving details of Mote carrying out fraud to fund his rising legal bills, Mr Davies said: ‘He asked for payments to be made to the firm of solicitors on the basis that they were providing him with advice in relation to his duties as an MEP. ‘In fact the money was being used to fund a number of criminal and civil proceedings related to Mr Mote's prosecution for benefit fraud offences, and indeed some unrelated civil proceedings. ‘Basically we say he was using European Parliament money to fund his defence and various appeals in connection with being prosecuted for benefit fraud.’ Mr Davies continued: ‘This was a sophisticated fraud committed over several years during which Mr Mote made a number of false representations and produced a number of false documents in order to deceive the

He denies 11 offences alleged to have taken place between 2004 and 2010 . Southwark Crown Court hears of 'sophisticated fraud over several years'

The Parole Board is reviewing the case of Colin Pitchfork, who was jailed for life in 1988 on the basis of DNA evidence after raping and killing two schoolgirls . The Parole Board is reviewing the case of a murderer who was the first man to be convicted on the basis of DNA evidence. Colin Pitchfork was jailed for life in 1988 for raping and killing two schoolgirls. He strangled 15-year-old Lynda Mann to death after raping her on a deserted footpath in the Leicestershire village of Narborough in 1983. Three years later he raped and killed Dawn Ashworth, also 15, less than a mile from where he murdered Lynda. Pitchfork was finally caught two years later thanks to DNA tests on all the men in surrounding villages. He received a 30-year minimum sentence which was then cut to 28 years in 2009, meaning he was supposed to be eligible for release next year. A spokesman for the Parole Board said: 'We can confirm that the Secretary of State for Justice has referred the case of Colin Pitchfork to the Parole Board for a review of his suitability for release. 'If the Board does not direct his release, it has been asked to advise the Secretary of State on his suitability for open conditions (Category D prison).' Once a case has been referred to the Board, it usually takes around six months before a decision is issued, meaning the double murderer could be out this year. Pitchfork argued at his 2009 appeal against his sentence that the 30 years was 'manifestly' excessive. He was jailed at Leicester Crown Court in 1988 after pleading guilty to two counts of murder, two of rape, two of indecent assault and one of conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. Announcing the decision to reduce the minimum term by two years in 2009, the then Lord Chief Justice, Lord Judge, said the appeal was being allowed to a 'very restricted and limited extent relating to exceptional progress in custody'. He emphasised that the decision 'has no bearing whatever on the continuing effect of the sentence of life imprisonment on the appellant'. The judge added: 'He cannot be released unless and until the safety of the public is assured.' Former Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge ruled in 2009 that Pitchfork should not be released until the public could be assured it was safe . After the world's first mass screening for DNA - where 5,000 men in three villages were asked to volunteer blood or saliva samples - Pitchfork was eventually caught. The Lord Chief Justice at the time said after he was jailed that 'from the point of view of the safety of the public I doubt if he should ever be released'. Lord Judge said in 2009 that Pitchfork's progress since he was first incarcerated 'goes far beyond general good behaviour and positive response to his custodial sentence, but reflects very creditable assistance to disabled individuals outside the prison system'. He added: 'On the evidence before us he has sought to address the reasons behind

Summary: Colin Pitchfork raped and murdered two 15-year-old girls in the 1980s . He was jailed for life two years after second murder thanks to DNA testing . Pitchfork was the first man to be convicted based on DNA evidence . The Parole Board are reviewing his case and he could be freed in months .
