Sam Reese, a male model who recently appeared on Channel 4's First Dates reality match-making show, has received death threats over his behaviour on the programme. The 22-year-old's crime was to ask his date Kathleen to split the bill with him rather than pick up the tab himself - an action which sparked a slew of furious responses on Twitter. 'I couldn’t believe some of the reactions from people on Twitter,' he told The Mirror. 'I had death threats, one person said that the next time I come out in Manchester I’m dead.' Sam Reese, a male model who recently appeared on Channel 4's First Dates show, has received death threats over his behaviour on the program. Pictured, Sam with Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis . 'Don't split the bill on your first date for crying out loud, chivalry is still a thing!' wrote one man on Twitter. 'I bet he wouldn't leave a tip either,' another speculated. Sam, who was reportedly seen 'cosying up' with Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis over the weekend, unsurprisingly admits his televised date was not a resounding success. 'It was a really expensive meal, like £350, and I knew I wasn’t going to see her again, so what’s wrong with asking her to split the bill?' he said. Sam said, 'I couldn’t believe some of the reaction from people on Twitter.

Sam also insisted that the show was 'edited' to make him look 'bad', and said producers tried to paint him as a 'typical model.' First Dates bills itself as 'an interactive documentary series on modern dating' and follows singles as they meet for the first time over dinner. The next episode airs tomorrow night. After Sam asked his date to split the bill on the Channel 4 programme, Twitter users reacted with disgust .

Holden have been left red-faced after having to recall more than 26,000 of its vehicles because they could be at risk of catching alight. After five customers reported having 'thermal incidents', Holden issued a stop delivery notice to car dealers and urged owners of the Holden Colorado- SUV or ute- to have their cars checked out immediately. Spanning just over a year, the models said to be affected were made in Thailand between September 2013 and January 2015. After five customers reported having 'thermal incidents', Holden issued a stop delivery notice to car dealers and urged owners of the Holden Colorado- SUV or ute- to have their cars checked out immediately . This latest safety issue makes Holden the most recalled car brand in 2015. Last year, Holden shared the title of most recalls with Jeep after issuing 14 notices to recall around nine vehicles- including the Holden Barina, the Holden Cruze and the Holden TJ Trax- amid safety concerns. A website run by the federal government confirmed there is a risk 'cable insulation' in the Colorado 'may melt of catch fire.' Holden said the issue is caused by an alternator cable making unnecessary contact with a steel bracket on the battery tray. They said under certain driving conditions the movement of the engine could cause the cable to rub through the insulation, potentially causing a short circuit. This latest safety issue makes Holden the most recalled car brand in 2015, with five recalls in only four months . 'If the short circuit creates sufficient heat, there is a risk that the cable insulation may melt or potentially catch fire,' Holden told Newscorp in a statement. Holden said drivers should look out for warning signs that their car may be affected, like a battery warning light on the dash board, or in more serious cases a 'small amount of smoke' seen coming from the engine bay. Earlier this month, Holden recalled the Korean-made Captiva after concerns that the SUV may lurch forward if the key was left in the ignition for too long. This brings Holden to a total of five recalls in the first four months of this year. Holden revealed that if the short circuit creates sufficient heat, there is a risk that the cable insulation may melt or potentially catch fire (Stock photo) This comes as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced figures that show the number of safety recalls in Australia are steadily on the rise. The ACCC monitored 307 recalls in 2014, a 14 per cent increase from 2013 where they only monitored 268 recalls. The figures show there has been a consistent increase in recalls dating back to 2010. Recalls the ACCC have monitored in Australia included a punching bag that contained nails and needles, a vacuum that put users at risk of electric shock and burns, an 'egg free' ice cream that contained egg whites and a spear gun that fired without warning. Senator Madigan, a former Democratic Labor Party representative told Farifax he blamed the rise in recalls on a 'systemic regulatory

Foreign GPs now account for 11 per cent of family doctors, new figure show . The number of GPs from abroad is up by 11 per cent in a decade as the NHS tries to combat a shortage of staff. Foreigners now account for almost one family doctor in five although in some areas the proportion is more than two-thirds. Senior doctors say the number will rise further over the next few years because the NHS is so short of homegrown medics. Figures from the Health and Social Care Information Centre show that 22.0 per cent of current GPs gained their qualifications overseas, up from 19.8 per cent in 2004 . But the figure is 71 per cent in Barking and Dagenham, east London, 63 per cent in Medway, Kent, and 58 per cent in North Lincolnshire. The NHS is facing a shortage because many GPs are retiring early. Others are moving overseas in search of better conditions. The Royal College of GPs estimates that the NHS will need to hire at least 8,000 more doctors over the next five years to keep pace with a rising, and ageing, population. The NHS employs 40,584 GPs, of whom 8,941 are from overseas. This is up from 6,921 in 2004 when there were 34,855 family doctors in total. Dr Richard Vautrey, deputy chairman of the British Medical Association’s GP committee, said: ‘We need GPs from around the world to support the Health Service, and we simply don’t train enough. ‘We need to encourage more students and junior doctors to choose general practice, and to expose them more to general practice, so they see it more as an attractive option for the future.’ The figures do not state where the foreign GPs trained but separate data from the General Medical Council shows many are from India, Pakistan, South Africa and Nigeria. Earlier this year UKIP leader Nigel Farage sparked controversy by claiming that foreign GPs should not be working on the NHS as they didn’t speak good enough English . Earlier this year Ukip leader Nigel Farage sparked controversy by claiming that foreign GPs should not work for the NHS because they lack good English. He said: ‘Don’t we want to live in a country where we speak the same language? And isn’t it scandalous that we are not training enough nurses and doctors in our own country?’ Dr Maureen Baker, chairman of the Royal College of GPs, said: ‘The NHS – general practice included – is staffed by hardworking healthcare professionals from all over the world. 'We are very grateful for the work that doctors from overseas are doing.’ The NHS should train more staff rather than spending £2.5 billion a year on locum doctors and agency nurses, a think-tank has suggested. A larger pool of dependable permanent staff would also enhance workforce stability and patient safety, the cross-party Civitas said. The subsequent increase in competition for jobs would also help fill less desirable roles such as those in A&E departments and general practice. The think-tank said the typical charge for a consultant from

Summary: Foreign GPs now account for 1 in 5 family doctors, new NHS figures show . In some areas such as Essex, the proportion is more than two thirds . Number will continue to rise due to shortage of home-grown GPs .


This is the terrifying moment a woman drives the wrong way down a highway and plows into oncoming traffic in an apparent suicide attempt. Jack Rivera, a New York trucker, captured the collision on his dashcam as he drove along the Interstate 35E in Texas last Wednesday. Footage shows the driver of a black SUV, identified as 49-year-old Laura Michelle Mayeaux, coming off at the 397 exit and veering over to the wrong side of the lane. She then steers head-on into a truck which rolls over on its side with debris flying everywhere. As the back end of the 18-wheeler swings out, it pushes a red pickup truck off course. Thick black skid marks can be seen on the tarmac as smoke fills the air. Rivera told waxahachietx.com that once things came to a standstill he got out of his vehicle to see if he could offer any assistance to the parties involved before authorities arrived. The incident, which occurred just past 6pm, shut the highway for around two hours. Mayeaux, from Waco, Texas, was transported to Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas because of the injuries she sustained during the wreck.

Off course: Footage shows a black SUV coming off at 397 exit and veering over to the wrong side of the lane . Lt. Ron Turbeville, with the Waxahachie police department, said that she was found 'inebriated' and 'smelling of alcohol' by medics who pulled her from her crushed Chevrolet Suburban. He added: 'Basically, based off that from the attending paramedics and firefighters, there was enough evidence there to suggest that she was drinking. 'That is the reason why we got a warrant for her blood.' After undergoing treatment, Mayeaux apparently admitted to police that she was trying to take her own life. She was released from hospital last Friday. In a puff of smoke: Thick black skid marks can be seen on the tarmac as smoke fills the air .

Disbelief. That’s what you feel when you meet a rhino in the wild. You just can’t come to terms with the fact that you and he are sharing the same air, the same continent, the same century. I’ve had close-up experience with three of the world’s five surviving species of rhino: the white rhino looks like the main battle tank of an extra-terrestrial army, while the black is more like a hot-rod armoured car. The greater one-horned rhino, meanwhile, sometimes called the Indian rhino, looks as if it’s been riveted together from pieces of boiler-plate. Surely they can’t be real. You feel as if you’ve slipped back into the Jurassic era and were looking at some great horned dinosaur, for they couldn’t possibly be part of the 21st century. It’s as if the creatures of the past had suddenly invaded the present, as if the Lost World of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had been found again. Scroll down for video . Guarded: A four man team of armed guards now protects Sudan the Northern White Rhino who is the last male of his species . But then you think: hang on a minute. These rhinos are nothing to do with dinosaurs or with any vanished world. They’re mammals, just like you and me, and they’re as admirably adapted for the current century as we are. They’re as modern as a child born yesterday: part of our present, not part of our past. Yes, give them a fair crack of the whip and they’d be as successful as any of the big creatures we have left on our planet, for in many countries the wild places they depend on are still in fine shape and perfectly capable of supporting any number of rhinos. So why are we running out of them? Why does the last surviving male of the northern sub-species of the white rhino now live under a 24-hour guard? Why has he been stripped of his horn? Why is it that we seem to be on the brink of losing an entire race of rhinos? Threatened: Sudan is the target of poachers looking to sell rhino horn which can make up to £47,000 a kilo . This is the lonely rhino, known as Sudan, guarded day and night by rangers who risk their own lives as they try to keep him from poachers. Even without his horn, his keepers in the Kenyan reserve of Ol Pejeta fear for his safety. It seems like madness —because it is madness. A rhino’s horn is made from keratin, the same stuff as fingernails. You could collect your nail clippings and try to sell them, claiming that they were magic and capable of curing all kinds of things. You could try selling your keratin at £47,000 a kilo. You probably wouldn’t find many takers, but it’s no more absurd than selling rhino horn for the same purposes and price. People will pay an absurd amount for an absurd product because of an absurd belief: that rhino horn is the most wonderful kind of medicine. Today,

Samantha Cameron has made her first solo appearance of the general election with a provocative visit to a Ukip stronghold. The Prime Minister's wife swooped into Rochester and Strood, the seat held by Mark Reckless after he defected from the Tories last summer. David Cameron has made no secret of his desire to kick Mr Reckless's 'fat arse' out of the Commons, and clearly hopes his wife can woo voters in the crucial Kent battleground. Scroll down for video .

The earthquake disaster in Nepal has highlighted how Earth's land masses are already in the process of forming a new supercontinent. That's according to one researcher who travelled to the country to study how the Indian and Eurasian plates are moving together. And using new techniques, researchers can now start examining the changes due to take place over the next tens of millions of years like never before. Earth's continents are slowly moving together (left), and in 50 to 200 million years they are expected to form a new supercontinent called Amasia (right). In 2012 a study suggested this may be centered on the North Pole. Recent evidence is revealing how this will compare to the ancient supercontinents Rodinia and Pangaea . The idea that Earth is set to form a new supercontinent - dubbed Amasia - is not new. But, as reported by Peter Spinks from the Sydney Morning Herald, Curtin University geologist Dr Zheng-Xiang Li travelled to Nepal to study the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates. The idea that Earth is set to form a new supercontinent - dubbed Amasia - is not new. But new techniques are allowing experts to study the changes in unprececdented ways. Where exactly this supercontinent will form, however, has been the cause of some debate. While some had suspected it would be centered around Africa, a study by Yale University in 2012 suggested that the North Pole would actually be the centre point. North and South America will crunch together, with the Caribbean Sea and Arctic Ocean disappearing, while Asia will join the Americas, according to the study. They said the changes would occur in 50 to 200 million years. Despite already being attached to Eurasia, the Indian plate is continuing to move North at a few centimetres per year - causing tectonic activity. But other continents are also moving towards each other. The Pacific Ocean is narrowing at a few centimetres per year, which will ultimately cause America to collide with Eurasia, while Australia is also moving towards Asia by 2.8 inches (7cm) a year and will join Amasia. ‘It would take at least tens of millions more years - perhaps several hundred million years - before the new supercontinent is fully formed,’ Dr Li told the SMH. Using new techniques - namely high-resolution seismic tomography, geographical information systems and increased computing power - scientists are able to track these changes in unprecedented ways. For example, they can compare them to previous supercontinents Rodinia and Pangaea, which formed one billion and 300 million years ago respectively. ‘These advances have allowed us to link present-day plate tectonics on Earth's surface to dynamic processes deep in the mantle - and to link these to ancient records of geology,’ Dr Li said. Many of Earth's land masses are continuing to move into each other. The Pacific Ocean is narrowing at a few centimetres per year, which will ultimately cause America to collide with Eurasia, while Australia is also moving towards Asia by 2.8 inches (7cm) a year and will join Amasia .

The wife of a U.S. Army colonel who shot her two children dead four years ago says she does not regret it. Julie Schenecker, 54, was convicted last May of shooting her son Beau, 13, and daughter Calyx, 16, in their upscale Tampa Bay, Florida home in January 2011 while her husband served overseas. Now in an exclusive jailhouse interview, she has claimed she pulled the trigger to 'save' her children, despite previously admitting to authorities that she had shot them for being 'mouthy'. When asked by ABC Action News in the interview if she regretted the shooting, Schenecker, a former military linguist, shook her head. Scroll down for video . No apologies: Julie Schenecker, pictured in an interview from jail, has said she does not regret shooting her 13-year-old son and 16-year-old daughter dead at their home in January 2011 . 'I saved them,' she said quietly. She claimed her son was being sexually abused - but would not say by whom - and that Calyx had told her she was suffering from mental illness. She feared the girl would be attacked, too, she said. 'I was raped as a virgin and my whole life has been a mess,' Schenecker told ABC. 'I came from a great family. They protected me. And this still happened. I couldn't let it happen to Calyx.' But police disputed the claims, saying she had admitted to killing the children for being 'mouthy'. Last year, the court also saw pages from her journal that detailed her plans to kill them in the days before their murders, as well as entries after she carried out the killings. 'I offed Beau on the way to practice,' she wrote. 'I accidentally shot the window then shot him. One in the side of the head and one in his mouth because he became so mouthy just like Calyx.' Killed: She shot her son Beau, left, inside their car before going to the room of her daughter Calyx, right, and shooting her as she did her homework. She then forced her daughter's mouth into a smile, she said . Emotional: She sobbed throughout the interview as she claimed she'd killed her children to 'save' them . Speaking to ABC Action News, she said that she shot her son as he went to tie his shoelace. The boy's body was found inside her car in the garage. Afterwards she walked to Calyx's room and shot the girl in the head as she was doing her homework, Schenecker said in the interview. 'Shot the two mouthy mouths in the mouth after shooting them in the head,' she wrote in her journal. In the interview, she admitted that only one side of Calyx's mouth appeared to be in a smile when she lay dead, so she forced the other side of her mouth to smile as well. Both the children were covered in blankets when authorities went to the home after Schenecker's mother had contacted them, worried that she had been unable to contact her daughter. Schenecker was found covered in blood and passed

These days, Gazza is a celebrity associated with tears, and battles against drink and depression. But, nearly a quarter of a century ago, Paul Gascoigne was just a footballer. Not an ordinary footballer - he was a brilliantly talented maverick, but still a footballer. And 24 years ago today, he scored what was arguably the finest goal of his career. There are some who might say it was the finest goal ever scored at Wembley. The other main contender for that prize is probably another of his, for England against Scotland at Euro 96. Paul Gascoigne hits the 35-yard free-kick that would cement his place in Tottenham legend . The Spurs midfielder struck a ferocious shot that has gone down as one of the all-time great goals at Wembley . Gascoigne's goal came five minutes into an FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham's arch-rivals, Arsenal . Gunners goalkeeper David Seaman (right) got his hands to the ball but the power on Gascoigne's shot still beat him . But April 14, 1991 was FA Cup semi-final day. Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal. Fierce rivals battling it out for a place in the final when the oldest cup competition in football meant so much to every club that entered. Arsenal won the league that year. But had you asked their fans at Wembley that day whether they would rather win the title or the FA Cup having knocked out Spurs, and many would have opted for the latter. They didn't get the choice, however, and that was because of Gascoigne. It took him just five minutes to make the indelible mark. Tottenham won a free-kick 35 yards from goal. Nobody suspected much. Certainly not Barry Davies, who was commentating on the game for the BBC. Gascoigne runs towards the Spurs fans to celebrate as Vinny Samways (left) joins the wild scenes . The then England star leaps into the air to celebrate his glorious strike at the home of football . Gascoigne's goal set Spurs on their way to a 3-1 victory, and they would go on to beat Nottingham Forest in the final . 'Is Gascoigne going to have a crack?,' he asked. It was a relaxed, throwaway question. 'He is you know,' came the next line shortly after, excitement barely registering. Gascoigne took a run-up at the ball, and swung hard with his right boot. He nailed it, right on the sweet spot. The shot quickly became a cannonball, bursting through David Seaman's gloves and into the top corner of the net, despite the goalkeeper getting his hands to the ball. 'Oh I say!' screamed Davies, whose commentary would now go down in legend as well as the goal. 'Brilliant!' Spurs fans celebrated wildly in the stands. 'That...is... schoolboy's own stuff. Oh, I bet even he can't believe it. 'Is there anything left from this man to surprise us? That is one of the finest free-kicks this stadium has ever seen.' It was, and still is. 24 years from now it still will be. So let's forget for a moment about the Gazza we

Summary: It is 24 years to the day since Paul Gascoigne scored in the FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal . Gascoigne struck a fierce 35-yard free-kick that beat David Seaman . It was hailed as one of the best goals in Wembley history, and that comment still applies .


A 17-year-old girl arrested after her severely malnourished four-month-old daughter was hospitalized and the corpse of a three-year-old child was found at a North Las Vegas home will not face criminal charges. The unidentified teenager is a victim and was released on Monday from juvenile detention into the custody of county child protective services, said Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson. 'This child is a victim in this case and can best receive appropriate and necessary services through the dependency court system and family services,' Wolfson said in a statement. Scroll down for video . Jondrew Megil Lachaux (left), 39, an ex-convict and Kellie Cherie Phillips (right), 38, have been arrested on felony charges in the alleged abandonment case of three children in a North Las Vegas home . North Las Vegas police Officer Aaron Patty said the four-month-old child was released from a hospital and turned over on Monday to the custody of Clark County Child Protective Services. Police in North Las Vegas are continuing to probe what they have described as a three-generation case of child abuse involving the girl's mother, Kellie Cherie Phillips, 38, a man she described as her stepfather, Jondrew Magil Lachaux, 39, and the discovery of the couple's three-year-old daughter dead in the back seat of a broken-down car in the garage of a home on Wood Thrush Place. Phillips and Lachaux have six children together while the teenager is from another relationship. Lachaux, an ex-convict, was arrested April 7 and Phillips was arrested April 8 on allegations that they abandoned the teenager and the toddler in a North Las Vegas house and took their other five children to Oakland, California. The other children — ages one, four, seven, eight and nine — were found with Phillips in good health. They have been placed in the custody of family services. Lachaux allegedly sexually assaulted the teenager and she had become pregnant, but she did not know, reports the Review Journal. Phillips and Lachaux, who are not married, were being held pending court appearances this week on felony charges of child abuse. The teen told police that her mother didn't know she was pregnant with Lachaux's child when the rest of the family left last year in a crowded rental car. She said she gave birth at home last November with no medical care. The girl told police her sickly three-year-old sister died several weeks ago, and that Lachaux returned to the house in late March and moved the decomposing corpse to an old Mercedes sedan parked in the garage, covering the corpse with old pizza boxes. A police SWAT team broke into the couple's house (above) and discovered the corpse of the three-year-old girl . Lachaux kicked the teen out of the house, police said, and she lived for several days in public places including the Las Vegas Strip and McCarran International Airport before someone noticed the sick baby and summoned authorities. The infant is recovering after being hospitalized in critical condition for severe malnutrition and hypothermia, police said. The girl told investigators the child survived

The acting chief executive of the Clinton Foundation acknowledged that the global philanthropy made mistakes in how it disclosed its donors amid growing scrutiny as Hillary Rodham Clinton opens her presidential campaign. The fund had been facing allegations of improper behavior after reports surfaced about undisclosed donations from foreign governments and a donor who was selling his uranium company to a Russian state agency at the same time the State Department had to approve the sale. Acting CEO Maura Pally defended the foundation's work and reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, describing its policies on donor disclosure and contributions from foreign governments as 'stronger than ever.' However, the tempered apology came the same day that a government watchdog said that the charity seemed like a 'slush fund' for one of America's most powerful political families. The acting CEO of the Clinton Foundation apologized after Hillary Clinton's presidential candidacy put it under intense scrutiny for undisclosed donations. Above, Clinton speaks at a foundation event in December . Maura Pally (left) said that money received from a businessman when he was seeking State Department approval for selling his company to Russia (right) could not be disclosed under Canadian law . Pally said the foundation expected to refile some of its tax forms, following a voluntary external review, because it had 'mistakenly combined' government grants and donations. She said the foundation would 'remedy' any errors but stressed the total revenue was reported accurately and that grants were properly broken out on audited statements on its website. 'Yes, we made mistakes, as many organizations of our size do, but we are acting quickly to remedy them, and have taken steps to ensure they don't happen in the future,' she said. Pally also described the foundation's work with the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership, which she said received funding from a separate organization in Canada. The partnership received more than $2million in donations from the Canadian chairman of Uranium One, Ian Telfer, when it was being sold to Russian state atomic agency Rosatom. Telfer's donations, given by his own foundation, came at the same time as the State Department, then headed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, helped approve the sale. The transaction, which followed Bill Clinton helping businessman Frank Giustra secure some of the Kazakh uranium sites also being sold, needed to be vetted by a government committee because it gave one-fifth of US uranium production into foreign hands. Pally's blog post said that the Giustra partnership does not disclose its donors because under Canadian law they are not disclosed without prior permission from each donor. 'This is hardly an effort on our part to avoid transparency,' she said. The apology said that Uranium One Chairman Ian Telfer's donations to a foundation partnership with Frank Giustra (right) would have needed prior permission to be disclosed.

Summary: Acting Clinton Foundation CEO Maura Pally said 'Yes, we made mistakes' Fund 'mistakenly combined' government grants and other donations . Foundation faces criticism after report it received millions from executive who sold uranium company to Russia in State Department-approved deal .

Former QPR manager Harry Redknapp says that Tottenham have not made any progress under Mauricio Pochettino this season, insisting he has been rescued by the kids. Spurs are almost certain to miss out on Champions League football again with club currently occupying a place only in the top six, although they did reach their first major final since 2009 this season. Argentine boss Pochettino has put his faith in the likes of Harry Kane, Nabil Bentaleb and Ryan Mason, while more experienced, higher-profile players have been pushed out to the fringes. Harry Redknapp says Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has been rescued by the kids this season . Harry Kane has scored 20 Premier League goals this season, while Ryan and Mason has played a key role . Redknapp insists the club have not moved forward under their Argentine manager this season . And former Spurs boss Redknapp, who led the club to two top-four finishes during his tenure, says that a sixth or seventh place finish this season is not progress. 'I like the manager, I think he's excellent,' Redknapp told Sky Sports. 'He is a great guy as well. 'But let's be honest, they haven't pulled up any trees. Finishing sixth or seventh is certainly not going forward. But he needs another year. 'Really, he's been rescued by the kids this season - Harry Kane, Ryan Mason, Nabil Bentaleb, Danny Rose, Andros Townsend, Kyle Walker. Former QPR boss Redknapp was also critical of Tottenham's recruitment policy after selling Gareth Bale . Roberto Soldado joined the club for £25.9million but has struggled to make an impact . 'They have been the best players at the club and have probably kept them going. Redknapp has also criticised Tottenham's recruitment policy after the club spent the money received from the sale of Gareth Bale on big-money signings that have failed to deliver. Roberto Soldado (£25.9million), Erik Lamela (£25m) and Paulinho (£17m) have all struggled to justify their hefty price tags. Argentina international Erik Lamela is another that has failed to live up to a hefty price tag . 'They have bought players in and haven't spent wisely. The players that have been brought in aren't down to him. 'The big signings that have come in have been a disaster. That is something Daniel is going to have to look at, the recruitment was poor. 'They have changed that around now and I think they have new people coming in. They have to make sure when they make more signings, they're better than the ones they've got.'

Summary: Harry Redknapp says Tottenham have not pulled up any trees this season . Redknapp insists club have not moved forward under Mauricio Pochettino . Former QPR boss says Spurs have been rescued by the kids this season .

A church will hold its Maundy Thursday service today instead of tomorrow to allow a weekly drop-in session for prostitutes to go ahead. All Saints Church in Wolverhampton re-scheduled the service, which marks the start of Easter celebrations, so that vulnerable women can attend their regular Thursday sessions tomorrow. The decision comes after prostitutes were left disappointed when the drop-in sessions were cancelled on Christmas Day and New Year's Day because they both fell on a Thursday. Outreach: All Saints Church in Wolverhampton, pictured, re-scheduled the service, which marks the start of Easter celebrations, so that vulnerable women can attend their regular Thursday sessions tomorrow . Religious leaders have praised the initiative, which has been running since last August, as reflecting the core values of Christianity. All Saints Church, which is in the middle of Wolverhampton's red light district, is the only place where prostitutes can receive the support offered by the sessions, Reverend Sarah Schofield said. The programme is run alongside national charities Changing Lives and the Terrence Higgins Trust. Service: All Saints Church is the only place where prostitutes can receive the support offered by the sessions, Reverend Sarah Schofield, pictured, said . Reverend Schofield, team vicar at All Saints Church, said: 'We throw open our doors and offer support as well as going out on the streets with hot drinks to invite women in. 'We want to be a reliable, safe and loving place for women, it is important to honour our promise and it has had a real impact on the whole church here. 'There is conversation, there is advice if any woman wants advice about employment or health or other issues. 'It is well received and it is appreciated. Christmas and New Year were on Thursday and we know we had disappointed people by cancelling the session for services. 'We had to take a vote in the congregation in January and it was 100 per cent in favour of moving the service. 'The story of Maundy Thursday is Jesus meeting with a number of people and he meets with women who are outcasts. 'One of the stories we tell on Maundy Thursday is about Jesus being anointed by a woman of low status and it felt wrong to cancel it.' The Bishop of Wolverhampton, Reverend Clive Gregory, said the decision to move the religious event forward was made by the church council and people should go elsewhere for a traditional Thursday service. He said: 'This decision wasn't taken lightly and there are other churches very close by where people can go to worship. It doesn't come across as strange to me that All Saints would do this. 'I am very well aware of this project for street workers, it has been a great success in the last six months. 'It performs a very important service for vulnerable women and is exactly what Christian churches should be doing to help their community.' Reverend Graham Smith of The Good Shepherd Church in Low Hill, added: 'It is a long-standing tradition to have a Maundy Thursday ceremony and an important

From 'here's you a piece of pizza' to 'this glass needs washed', every state has its own set of phrases that can seem bizarre to the rest of the English-speaking world. In New York, for instance, there's a tendency to use the word 'so' for drama, such as 'I'm so totally over this.' Some people in San Jose think nothing of saying 'didn't nobody help him', while Florida residents can be heard using the phrase, 'I ain't never had no trouble with none of 'em.' Click on a location marker in the map below to hear common phrases for each state . All of my clothes needs washed - Idaho . ..and wadn't anybody home but me - Alabama . Don’t none of y’all work as hard as I do - Virginia . We all use night-crawlers anymore - Iowa . I so might run this [race] with you - California . I ain't never had no trouble with none of 'em - Florida . You are so in the Doghouse for that on - New York . Twitter can be a professional job anymore - Nebraska . Now researchers at Yale University have revealed these patterns by documenting the subtle differences in sentence structure across the US. Their interactive map allows you to click on a location and see common phrases for a region, as well as its source. While the map focuses on the US, it also has a small amount of data for the UK, with sentences such as 'yer lugs needs washed' used in Scotland and 'Ne mon nule don hum no good', in Aylesbury. 'Unlike variation in phonology (often referred to as accent) and in the lexicon (different words), variation in grammatical systems within English has for the most part not been systematically investigated,' says Larry Horn, professor of linguistics and philosophy at Yale University. 'This variation may be found among speakers who live in a certain geographical region, or who belong to a certain age group, or to a particular social or ethnic group,' he adds. During the past year, members of the project have been conducting nationwide surveys using an online crowdsourcing platform asking for people's judgment on sentences. The researchers were not interested in what is considered to be correct grammar, but in what people do naturally. As well as the map, the team has also created a comprehensive guide that lists the different types of sentence structures used. One of the most interesting discoveries are presentative sentences like 'Here's you a water bottle.' 'That sentence just floored me,' says postdoctoral associate Jim Wood, a Yale University lecturer in linguistics. 'It seemed very alien and different to me.' The overall pattern was clear; In the South people found that sentence to be completely normal, while in the North, it was almost unheard of. From 'here's you a piece of pizza' to 'this glass needs washed', every state has its own phrases that can seem odd to the rest of the world . 'It's a reason didn't nobody help him', is a common sentence structure

Summary: In New York and California, there is a tendency for people to use the word 'so' in sentences to increase drama . Phrases such as 'here's you a water bottle' are common in the south, but people in the north find it strange .

His voice cracked with emotion at times and in the next breath he laughed at questions and joked with his boss, Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc. In short, Jurgen Klopp’s farewell press conference was much like his seven years at the club: engaging, compelling and infused with passion. Klopp is leaving Borussia Dortmund after seven seasons in which he has won two Bundesliga titles, the German Cup and reached the Champions League final, in 2013 at Wembley. Wednesday was not quite ‘auf wiedersehen’ as there are eight more matches of the season to play. Manager Jurgen Klopp announced he would be leaving Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season . Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke, Klopp and Michael Zorc of Dortmund were present for the press conference at Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday . Photographers snap away at Klopp as journalists gather during the announcement of his Dortmund exit . Yet an era is coming to an end and not just at Dortmund, but – and this is tribute to the charisma he has evoked during his time there – in European football. Like Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, Klopp has elevated himself into the realms of the cult manager. He is distinct in that he is much more open than Guardiola and seemingly much less calculating than Mourinho, though that in itself is, of course, a calculation. Though there is much more to Dortmund than just Klopp, at times it seems that it has been his sheer force of personality which has carried the club. Klopp was emotionally charged during the press conference as he couldn't resist showing his sadness . But Klopp also had moments where he laughed along with his boss Zorc during the press conference . Borussia Dortmund celebrate in front of their fans after winning a league match against Hamburg in 2011 . There are many reasons why Dortmund have captured the imagination of fans across the world and especially in England: there is the extraordinary atmosphere of the Westfalenstadion and the 82,000 fans; there are the season tickets available at £160; the membership structure which allows fans a say in the running of the club; the little ritual at the end of the game where the players gather in he centre circle, join hands and thank the fans. They came to represent everything the Premier League isn’t. BORUSSIA DORTMUND: . German league champions: 2010-11, 2011-12 . German cup: 2012 . Champions League runners-up: 2012-13 . INDIVIDUAL: . German manager of the year: 2011, 2012 . FIFA coach of the year runner-up: 2013 . And then there were the players, like Marco Reus, Mario Gotze, Robert Lewandowski and Mats Hummels, electrifying the Champions League with their energy and verve. But it was Klopp who was the public face of a club, the embodiment of all that. He was a journeyman football from Mainz, a second-rate lower league team when he played for them. Only when he managed them did they become a Bundesliga force, qualifying for the UEFA Cup, a track record which eventually earned

Summary: Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp will leave post this summer . Klopp ready to take another job with no sabbatical . Emotional grip of game makes him ideal for the Premier League . Premier League clubs on alert after the shock news from Germany . Klopp has been linked with Manchester City and Arsenal in the past .


A mom's decision to take her 11-year-old daughter to a Pink concert has a judge saying, 'So what?' The New Jersey judge says the concert trip isn't evidence of bad parenting, despite protestations by the father. NJ.com reports the girl's parents are divorced, and her father accused his ex-wife of 'abusing her parental discretion' by taking their daughter to the December 2013 concert at the Prudential Center in Newark, as part of the singer's national Truth About Love tour. The mother admitted to being a 'little on guard' about taking her daughter, but that the girl was 'dying to go', so the mom looked up clips of the show on YouTube and deemed them age-appropriate. The parents have joint custody, and the father said he disagreed with the 'sexually suggestive' nature of some of Pink's performances and did not want his daughter seeing it. Scroll down for video . Sexually suggestive?: A New Jersey father has claimed as part of a custody battle that his ex-wife 'abused her parental discretion' by taking their daughter to Pink's December 2013 concert at the Prudential Center in Newark (pictured). A judge ruled that while the singer's works can be suggestive, they are preteen-appropriate . But state Superior Court Judge Lawrence Jones rejected the complaint in a 37-page decision that contained a brief history of rock `n' roll and a commentary on the increasing use of judges as referees for warring divorced parents. Jones said Pink may have some suggestive moves and lyrics, but she's an artist whose works aren't necessarily inappropriate for preteens. Jones noted in his decision that he spoke privately with the girl, who is now 12, and took into consideration the mother's reasoning for allowing her daughter to attend the show. He found that the mother 'in no way, shape or form exceeded the boundaries of reasonable parental judgment' in taking the girl to the show during her own parenting time. He also found that she didn't subject the child to any unreasonable risk of harm, or compromise the girl's health, safety or welfare. Acrobatics: P!nk peforms at the Prudential Center on December 11, 2013 in Newark, New Jersey . 'To the contrary, when all the smoke from the custody litigation clears, it will be self-evident that all which happened here is that a young girl went to her first rock concert with her mother and had a really great time,' the judge wrote in his decision. The judge also quoted the lyrics from Pink's songs 'The Great Escape' and 'Perfect' as examples of messages for adolescents. Interestingly, Perfect, was originally called F-----g Perfect, before being cleaned of its expletives and released to radio.

Summary: The New Jersey parents are divorced and share custody of their three kids . Father claimed his ex 'abused her parental discretion' by taking daughter to see Pink in December 2013 in Newark . Judge ruled that while the singer can be suggestive, her works are not inappropriate for a preteen .


A man who claims he kicked a young mother out of his car when she got too drunk on their date has been arrested for obstructing justice two weeks after she vanished. Ashley Pegram, a 28-year-old mother-of-three, left her Summerville, South Carolina home for a date with a man she had met on messaging service Kik on the evening of April 3. Her sister, Brandy Chance, reported her missing the next day and went through her Kik account, where she found messages from a man who identified himself as 18-year-old Emoney Bon. But when she spoke with him, it emerged he was actually a 30-year-old man, Edward Primo Bonilla. Scroll down for video . Missing: Ashley Pegram, left, has been missing since she went on a date with Edward Primo Bonilla, right, on April 3 after they met online. He has now been charged with obstructing justice . Bonilla told her he had kicked her sister out of the car around midnight. On the messaging service, he had sent Pegram's account a message apologizing for leaving her but making sure she had got home OK, WCSC reported. But surveillance video taken outside a Sunoco gas station on the night of Pegram's disappearance shows her getting out of Bonilla's car, entering the convenience store and returning to the vehicle at 1am. The car then drives away with both people inside, although it is not clear if the person seen in the surveillance footage in Bonilla, WCSC reported. WVTM reported that the blue Hyundai Sonata belonged to Bonilla. He told authorities he believed he had dropped her near the Piggly Wiggly supermarket in Berkeley County. Caught on camera: She was seen inside a gas station convenience store in the early hours of April 4 . Spotted: She then headed back to a car, identified as Bonilla's. He said he later forced her out of the car . Deputies interviewed Bonilla and during a follow-up, he allegedly gave false and misleading information, but they would not provide further details. 'At this point, foul play is a definite possibility,' Dorchester County Sheriff's Captain Tony Phinney said. Bonilla has been charged with obstruction of justice and he was given a $400,000 surety bond during a court appearance on Thursday. Pegram's sister, Brandy Chance, said the missing woman's children, aged 13, eight and nine months, are devastated. 'Her little baby's having nightmares,' she told ABC News 4. 'The oldest one is having depression. And I can't do anything, I'm not really good for comforting now, you know.' Have you seen her? Pegram is a mother to three children who are devastated by her absence, family said . Chance added that her sister would often go on dates with men she met online, and even though she told Pegram it was dangerous, 'she just didn't listen'. Pegram had been mourning the death of her boyfriend, who passed away in a traffic accident in January, but her family does not believe she would hurt herself. 'She loves us too much,' Chance said. The 28-year-old is 5ft1 with brown har and

Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao will be the biggest fight of all time financially and the most significant this century. Evaluating the greatest ever fights is a complex variable of several factors including not only the quality and excitement of the action but the political, social and cultural undertones, the scale of expectation and outside influences. Where Money Man vs PacMan comes to rank among the most important fights in ring history will depend upon what happens that coming night in the MGM Grand Garden Arena. In this, the third in a series of 12 fights that shaped boxing history, I look back on one of the most anticipated events of the 20th century which divided a nation. THE SECOND FIGHT OF THE CENTURY . Joe Frazier v Muhammad Ali . Madison Square Garden, New York . March 8, 1971 . The Greatest had been stripped of the world heavyweight title he had won so sensationally against Sonny Liston but it was the reason for that decision which added cultural significance to what was to be a magnificent fight. Sweat sprays off Muhammad Ali (right) as Joe Frazier collects his jaw with a strong left in 1971 . Ali and Frazier at Madison Square Garden, New York, on March 8, 1971, was the second 'Fight of the Century' Ali's evasive abilities and speed, such as this swerve from a Frazier hook, kept him in the fight . Smokin’ Joe was the undefeated two-belt champion but it was this proud black man’s bizarre adoption by America’s conservative right which stoked the fires of society still further. Muhammad Ali had been banned from boxing for three-and-a-half years for refusing induction into the US military to fight in Vietnam – but as a consequence become the darling of the young, the black and the Civil Rights movement. Joe Frazier found himself unwittingly the standard bearer for the white establishment. Ali fanned the flames by labelling the simpler man who would become his arch-rival an ‘Uncle Tom,’ the most wounding insult for an African American . There was a foretaste of the current scramble for Mayweather-Pacquaio tickets. Woody Allen was one of the very few celebrities give a complimentary seat and other famous names had to work their way into the 20,000 crowd at the Garden. Frank Sinatra persuaded Life magazine to give him a camera and send him as their ringside photographer. Fast-talking Ali offensively labelled Frazier an 'Uncle Tom' due to the support he got from white conservatives . Referee Tony Perez, widely believed to have acted leniently in Ali's favour, orders the pair to their corners . JACK JOHNSON v JAMES JEFFRIES . July 4, 1910, Reno, Nevada . JOE LOUIS v MAX SCHMELING . June 22, 1938, Yankee Stadium, New York . Author Norman Mailer reported on the fight. Actor Burt Lancaster picked up a TV microphone for his only stint as a colour commentator. Artist Leroy Neiman sat at his easel painting Ali and Frazier as they fought. This was one fight in which the action fully lived up to the

Summary: Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao's fight will be the richest ever . Sportsmail's Jeff Powell is counting down the ring's most significant fights . Joe Frazier v Muhammad Ali in New York in 1971 is the third in the series . Smokin' Joe was two-belt champion bizarrely backed by conservatives . Ali was darling of young blacks after refusal to fight in Vietnam .


Two moving candle-lit vigils have been held to remember the 900 migrants who died when their boat capsized en route to Europe from Libya this weekend. As people lay candles by the sea in Valetta, Malta, an equally emotional memorial service was taking place in front of Rome's Verano Cemetery. The deadliest migrant tragedy on the Mediterranean so far took this year's death toll on the waters to a staggering 1,800. It came as three other people - including a tiny child - died when a rickety wooden boat ran aground on the Greek island of Rhodes. And the relentless tide of migrants escaping the war-torn country of Libya has continued since the tragic wreck this weekend. The UN said that 23,500 migrants had sailed to Italy this year in addition to 12,000 who had sailed to Greece. But an emergency meeting of EU leaders in Brussels today will announce that only 5,000 refugees who survive the perilous journey will be granted safe haven in Europe and the rest will be sent back, the Guardian has reported.

Italy's coast guard rescued another 220 migrants from two large rubber boats around 40 miles from the Libyan coast yesterday. Another 545 - many of whom were not even wearing shoes - were taken to the port of Salerno just south of Naples. A further 446 migrants of Egyptian, Syrian, Sudanese, Somalian and Eritrean origin arrived in Sicily after being rescued from a rickety fishing vessel. The memorial service in Malta's capital Valetta honoured the 24 bodies recovered from Sunday's disaster when the smugglers' boat capsized near Libya with hundreds trapped inside. Only 28 people were rescued and the bodies of most of the desperate migrants were never recovered. Two survivors were arrested as they stepped onto Sicilian soil - 24 hours after their boat capsized -killing around 900 people in

The stage was set for the coronation of King Jimmy on Tuesday but West Indies stubbornly refused to hurry him to his throne. The perfect script for this first Test saw Anderson taking the four wickets he needed to become the most prolific bowler in England’s history in his 100th game with record holder Sir Ian Botham here and waiting to crown his successor. But West Indies made Anderson wait on an attritional day that was in sharp contrast to the excitement provided by the first of this crucial series. Certainly Anderson would not have expected to play a more significant role with bat than ball on the second day of this first Test as West Indies did much to make up for their profligacy in the last two sessions of the first. When Anderson, watched by his wife, two daughters and parents, strode out to bat England had lost five wickets for 20 runs and were in danger of wasting the initiative handed to them largely by Ian Bell’s century. But ‘the Burnley Lara’, of course, is a more than useful No 11 these days and came within 19 runs of a Test century at Trent Bridge last year, so it should not have been a surprise to see him sticking around with Chris Jordan. When the pair were separated after a last-wicket stand of 38 England had moved to within a run of the score of 400 that should have been their minimum target when they were well placed on 341 for four on the first evening. Then it was a question of whether this unassuming Lancastrian could move from 380 wickets to 384 and overtake Botham, who was on hand apparently with a nice bottle of red wine waiting to celebrate, at the top of England’s Test tree. Only it was not quite as simple as that. Modern Test pitches in the Caribbean are notoriously slow and turgid and it was never going to be a case of simply sitting back and waiting for a West Indian collapse. Jimmy Anderson (right) is still three wickets away from breaking Sir Ian Botham's England record . Ben Stokes was England's first man to be dismissed on day two when he edged to Jason Holder in the slips . Jerome Taylor celebrates dismissing Stokes to take West Indies' first wicket of the day in Antigua . James Tredwell edges a delivery from Holder behind as he is dismissed for eight . Anderson had surprisingly chosen to bowl from the Curtly Ambrose End where the strong cross-wind that blows across this ground would in theory assist in-swing more than his more dangerous out-swinger. But Anderson, who had led England out on to the field in his landmark Test, generally knows what he is doing and successfully targeted the outside edge of the left-handed Devon Smith’s bat with a beauty. It was to prove his only success of a frustrating day. Anderson could make no further inroads and was surprisingly limited to just four overs after tea as the other England bowlers were forced

Summary: West Indies reach 155 for four at stumps on day two of first Test . Hosts still 244 runs adrift of England's first innings total of 399 . Resuming on 341 for five, England's final five wickets fell for 58 . Jimmy Anderson, Chris Jordan, Stuart Broad and James Tredwell all take a wicket each in West Indies' first innings at Sir Viv Richards Stadium . Anderson has 381 Test wickets, two less than Sir Ian Botham . Shiv Chanderpaul 29* and Jermaine Blackwood 30* at stumps . NASSER HUSSAIN: Jimmy Anderson is still the sultan of swing .


Manager Steve Evans has revealed Rotherham will find out whether they will be deducted points for fielding an ineligible player before the weekend. The Millers were sanctioned by the Football League last week as they played Derby defender Farrend Rawson in their 1-0 win over Brighton on Easter Monday after his youth loan had expired and the paperwork over an extension was not dealt with correctly. They have had to endure a nervy wait to discover their fate after the league said a disciplinary panel would hear the case at 'the earliest opportunity', while also indicating that the club will be open to the 'full range of punishments', which includes a potential points deduction.

On loan Derby defender Farrend Rawson (third right) played in the 1-0 win over Brighton on Easter Monday . The three-man panel is finally set to meet on Thursday, with Evans expecting news of his club's fate in the next 24 hours . 'It's going to happen very soon,' the Scot, whose side host Norwich on Saturday, said. 'It's not my job to talk when it is and when it's not, it will be soon enough. 'I've been told this morning that we hope it will be concluded by the time we arrive here on Saturday, whether that's today or tomorrow I am not 100 per cent sure.' The Millers have vowed to fight the charge, hiring top QC Jim Sturman to defend them, but a three-point deduction is thought to be the likeliest punishment should they be found guilty. But Evans insists he does not know the strength of his club's defence and has not been involved. Rotherham drew 1-1 with Fulham on Wednesday night, leaving them four points above the relegation zone . 'I am not involved in the case, all I know is the chairman that has spent many hours heading the football club on this with a legal representative, I've not been involved in any of the meetings because it is not my department,' he added. 'I have almost been kept at a distance. 'You have to accept there's been an error. Certainly, knowing people inside this football club, no one means to make an error. 'I don't want to cast judgement on people who make genuine mistakes. I have made enough of them. I have often said that in my career and I mean it.'

Summary: Millers await verdict of three-man Football League disciplinary panel . Manager Steve Evans expects decision before Norwich home game . Rotherham fielded an ineligible player against Brighton on Easter Monday .


Elephants are often seeing travelling single file, using their trunk to hold onto another mammal’s tail in front of them. But one young elephant decided to go it alone, when it walked alongside its herd and even broke their chain. Captured at Whipsnade Zoo, the video shows keepers assisting six elephants along a path – five of which walk in single file. The baby elephant can be seen walking alongside its herd, which travel in a single file line . As the first three elephants move from the shot, the fourth – a smaller elephant – is flanked by a baby. It stops to dawdle as it reaches the grass and uses its trunk to pick something up off the floor before setting off again. Finding itself in between the last two elephants as it begins walking, the young mammal’s back gets in the way and causes the link to break. The baby elephant stops to dawdle and picks something up from the floor with its trunk . It then rather cheekily forces its way into the line at the expense of the huge – and rather understanding – elephant behind it. Uploading the video to Newsflare, the filmmaker wrote: ‘We had just come out of the bear’s exhibit at Whipsnade Zoo when we saw elephants being led by zookeepers along the road, it was so amazing and unexpected. ‘I quickly grabbed my camera to take photos and managed to get a video of them holding each other’s tails, I had never seen elephants hold their tails in a line before, it was quite remarkable. The baby elephant goes to start walking once more and manages to break the elephant chain with its back . ‘The little baby elephant was constantly stopping or running off to the frustration of the other elephants, it was hilarious to watch him being put in his place.’ Whipsnade Zoo opened in 1931 and was originally known as Whipsnade Wild Animal Park. Located at Whipsnade, near Dunstable in Bedfordshire, the zoo has a land area of 600 acres and, as of 2012, was home to 2,741. The cheeky elephant forces itself into the line of elephants after breaking their tail-to-trunk chain .

Summary: The baby elephant walks alongside single file herd . It stops to dawdle pick up something with its trunk . Before managing to break the tail-to-trunk chain . The footage was captured by at Whipsnade zoo .

Ukip candidate Kim Rose (pictured handing out sausage rolls today) is being investigated by police over claims he tried to 'corruptly influence' voters by giving them sausage rolls . A Ukip election candidate will be grilled by the police over claims he tried to 'corruptly influence' voters by giving them sausage rolls. Kim Rose, who is running for Nigel Farage's party in Southampton Itchen, is being investigated by officers after laying out the snacks at an event, which also featured snooker star Jimmy White. Electoral Commission rules state food and entertainment cannot be provided by parliamentary candidates if their provision is intended to influence votes - a criminal offence known as 'treating'. Mr Rose, 57, branded police involvement as 'absolutely ridiculous', adding that voters in the marginal seat were unlikely to 'change their mind for a sausage roll'. The Ukip candidate put on a spread of sandwiches, sausage rolls and teas and coffees for the event, which also saw veteran snooker player White play pool with local youngsters. Mr Rose, a jeweller, said he was oblivious until he was contacted by Hampshire Constabulary's Economic Crime Unit. Laughing off the allegations, he said: 'Thank God they didn't find out about the Jaffa Cakes. 'The sausage rolls were for the kids but now I have been reported to police who I believe have received a complaint from one of the main parties. 'Under parliamentary rules allegations of treating is bribing people with food and drink. I thought it was a joke at first and I said to the police officer it was a bit daft. 'He said, "it isn't daft it could be a very serious offence". Fortunately I have eaten all the evidence.' Mr Rose, who will now have to report to a police station on Monday, added: 'It was a fantastic day. We laid on teas, coffees, sandwiches and some sausage rolls. 'It's absolutely ridiculous. I'm sure people aren't going to change their mind over voting for a sausage roll.' Mr Rose (pictured with Jimmy White, left, and Nigel Farage, right) branded police involvement as 'absolutely ridiculous', adding that voters in the marginal seat were unlikely to 'change their mind for a sausage roll' Today Mr Rose was seen out in Southampton handing out sausage rolls to members of the public . He said: 'The Ukip support is very strong here and I feel the main political parties will do anything they can to scrutinise everything about us.' Mr Rose added that if other politicians fear voters could be 'bribed with sausage rolls', perhaps it is not surprising they will not trust the country with a referendum on EU membership. Today the parliamentary candidate was out campaigning on the streets of Southampton, handing out sausage rolls to members of the public. Ukip leader Nigel Farage weighed into the dispute, backing Mr Rose. He said: 'I think it’s utter nonsense. There seems all sorts of cases in politics of people behaving badly and doing things wrong, abusing their positions. 'Having a few sausage rolls I don’t really think counts as one of those.'

Summary: Ukip's Kim Rose laid out spread of sausage rolls and sandwiches at event . Police are investigating Mr Rose for 'treating' - trying to influence voters . Laughing off claims, he said: 'Thank God they didn't find the Jaffa Cakes' Nigel Farage backed his candidate, branding investigation 'utter nonsense'


It is the historic site where King John sealed the Magna Carta to establish the rule of law. But just a few hundred yards from the famous setting at Runnymede in Surrey – which the Queen will visit in June to celebrate the document’s 800th anniversary – dozens of anarchists have made their squalid home in a litter-strewn shanty town. Squatting on the private land, the group, who are linked to the Occupy London movement that caused chaos in London when they set up camp outside St Paul’s Cathedral in 2011, have left locals outraged. Squatter Vinny outside one of the make-shift homes the group has set up just yards away from where the Magna Carta was sealed in Runnymede, Surrey . In contrast to the neatly tended Magna Carta memorial nearby, a used condom and grubby mattress lie at the entrance to the ramshackle squatters’ camp. Inside, a Mail on Sunday reporter witnessed one anarchist openly smoking cannabis just feet from a two-year-old child. The battle to evict the squatters is set to come to a head just before the Magna Carta anniversary on June 15. Last Thursday the squatters were granted a stay of execution when a county court judge allowed them two weeks to submit a defence ahead of a hearing next month. One camp leader, Vinny, who would not give his surname, said: ‘This is about using the land to grow our own vegetables. It’s a place to give people life skills, a sanctuary for the displaced.’ The dope-smoking 48-year-old added: ‘Why can’t we have equality with land ownership? Why can’t we have a few acres each?’ Last Thursday the squatters were granted a stay of execution when a county court judge allowed them two weeks to submit a defence ahead of a hearing next month . The camp was set up three years ago in woodland on a disused Brunel University site. Property developers Orchid Runnymede has planning permission to build affordable homes, student accommodation, an elderly care facility, and private housing on the land. But the community of about 30 squatters are refusing to leave. They claim to live off the land, using solar panels for electricity, a freshwater spring to wash and a vegetable patch to grow food, as well as raiding supermarket rubbish bins. King John sealed the Magna Carta to establish the rule of law. Above, a painting illustrating the historic moment . But David Sheldrake, whose farm borders the camp, said they have been stealing from water tanks for his cattle, adding: ‘I’m 69 and there are young people there – able, fit people who don’t want to work.’ One of the camp’s founding members, James Hampson, claims some of the squatters do work full-time. He has not worked since staying at the camp but said he has not claimed any benefits either. The former IT worker said: ‘Our aim here has always been to build a sustainable community.’ Mr Hampson is pledging to peacefully resist any attempt by developers – who recently erected a steel fence around the squat – to

Sleepy shoppers in China have had a rude awakening – after being banned from napping in furniture store IKEA. The Swedish retailer has been forced to take action to stop visitors kicking off their shoes and going to sleep on their beds and sofas. The problem has got so bad that nappers had taken over more than half of beds and sofas in the Xihongmen IKEA shop in Beijing, The People’s Daily reported – with some even getting under the covers for a snooze. Scroll down for video . Managers at Swedish furniture store IKEA have now banned shoppers from sleeping in their beds and sofas . Sleepy shoppers have taken to kicking off their shoes and catching forty winks on the display furniture . The practice has become widespread in IKEA stores - with shoppers coming in especially to take a nap . One weary woman said she had come into IKEA especially to grab a quick forty winks in one of their ‘comfy’ beds. She said she didn’t think it was a big issue, saying: ‘Yes it may affect customers who were shopping in the store but it shouldn’t be too much of a problem.’ Another customer said: ‘Sleeping on the furniture will definitely affect other customers. I can understand the need to take a rest however if you are really having a sleep then that’s not very appropriate.’ One shopper said: 'Yes it may affect customers... but it shouldn't be too much of a problem'. Ikea disagree . IKEA employees said the problem is difficult to manage, because so many Chinese shoppers do it . But long-suffering staff at IKEA said the problem has become widespread across China – with management vowing to clamp down on the practice. Under the new rules customers will still be allowed to try out the sofas and beds, but the removal of shoes to sleep in the beds is banned. One anonymous IKEA assistant warned, however, it will be difficult to enforce the rules. ‘There are old people sleeping and many others are children, what can we say?’ they said. Another employee explained that they currently wake up shoppers if they have been sleeping for an extended period of time – but when they move them on, another quickly fills their place. By banning people from taking off their shoes, IKEA hope to stop Chinese shoppers falling asleep in the stores . Workers at IKEA shops regularly wake up exhausted shoppers - but another napper quickly takes their place . They added: ‘There are too many people doing this, it’s not possible to stop it.’ The MailOnline previously reported on the trend, which commentators saying their Beijing store is particularly popular for a nap because of its air-conditioning during the sweltering summers. It is not the first time IKEA has had to deal with over-familiar customers in China. One Shanghai Xuhui store was inundated with pensioners who would spend their time drinking the free coffee – and on the prowl for a new partner for their children. The practice became so popular that

Summary: Exhausted shoppers regularly fall asleep in IKEA stores across China . Cheeky nappers kick off their shoes and get under the covers of displays . Managers forced to ban visitors from taking off their shoes to go to sleep .


Shamed newsman Brian Williams's lied in his reporting to make himself look good at least 11 times, an internal investigation has reportedly found. The total, cited in media reports about the secretive investigation, would mean the trail of deceit from the fallen face of NBC's Nightly News goes far deeper than previously reported. Investigative journalists at the network have been poring over Williams's past reports and statements after he was booted from the top job in TV news, hunting down signs of dishonesty. Lies on lies: Williams, pictured above during his last Nightly News broadcast before being suspended, embellished at least 11 different reports, an internal investigation has reportedly found . Iraq shame: Williams fell from grace after veterans called him out after he lied about being on board a U.S. military chopper which was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, but miraculously managed to land . Williams was publicly suspended with no pay for six months after it emerged that he repeatedly told a self-aggrandizing, false story about being aboard a military helicopter hit by an RPG over Iraq. Further scrutiny of Williams's record turned up other questionable claims, including dodging rocket fire over Israel and seeing a body floating through the French Quarter of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina. Even more such claims have been turned up now, according to reports by CNN and the Washington Post. Both cite a briefing given to NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke on Thursday in New York City at which top executives were updated on the investigation. Pyramid of lies: The latest specific Williams tall tale to emerge dates to 2011 in Egypt's Tahrir Square. Williams said he stared into the eyes of mounted regime soldiers during a violent protest - while the New York Times says he was safely on a balcony overlooking the action . Trust me, I'm an anchor: Williams is pictured above being intereview by The Daily Show's Jon Stewart and claiming to have up-close experience of the Arab Spring protests . CNN said 10 puffed-up claims had been found, while the Post said the figure was 11. An earlier report in the New York Times, identified a particular incident, dating back to Williams's coverage of the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings. NBC investigators honed in on an appearance on the Daily Show where Williams boasted that he had looked into the eyes of mounted Egyptian soldiers in Cairo's Tahrir Square, and seen armed men beat protesters. From his conversation with host Jon Stewart, Williams implies he was in the thick of the chaotic pro-democracy movement. However, the Times said, NBC news broadcasts from the time make it clear he was in fact on a balcony overlooking the square from a safe distance. Close to the wind: Another questionable Williams claim comes from Israel's 2006 war with Hezbollah. Williams said rockets flew 'just underneath' a helicopter he was on (above), when they in fact seem to have gone nowhere near it . Williams is currently halfway through his six-month suspension from his roles as anchor and managing editor of the Nightly News. He

Summary: Former face of NBC Nightly News was suspended for lying about Iraq . Falsely claimed he was in military helicopter downed by RPG fire . Bosses began investigation into other tall tales in wake of scandal . NBC's CEO reportedly told in recent briefing that 11 instances emerged . Include seemingly overblown claims about reporting on the Arab Spring .


Sweet life: The Duchess of Cornwall . The Duchess of Cornwall has created a buzz with the launch of her own honey, produced in late spring by the bees in her Wiltshire garden. Just 250 jars are being produced, at £20 each, with all proceeds going to charity. But Camilla’s venture reflects a rocketing demand for gourmet honey. Sales of high-end versions are up by 45 per cent at Selfridges since last year. Does luxury honey really taste different enough from ordinary varieties to justify its price tag, though? And how does Camilla’s honey fare against some of its exclusive rivals — including her husband’s Duchy brand? We tested the best-selling gourmet honeys to find out... Duchess of Cornwall Honey . £20 for 227g, Fortnum & Mason . PROMISE: The Duchess’s late-spring honey is made from ‘delicately perfumed nectar with subtle hints of chamomile’ and billed as ‘the ideal accompaniment to ice cream on hot summer days, or for sweetening tea’. All proceeds go to the Medical Detection Dogs charity, of which the Duchess is patron. VERDICT: This tastefully packaged little jar, decorated with a pretty drawing of a pink flower and bee, has a handwritten number on the back. It contains a clear, golden, liquid honey, and when I open the jar a delicate smell of flowers greets my nostrils. When you ooze it over buttered bread, it’s impossible to stop eating. Delicate, delicious and the perfect gift for any honey-lover. A royal winner. 5/5 . Royal winner: Camilla’s honey is made from ‘delicately perfumed nectar with subtle hints of chamomile' Duchy Originals Scottish Heather Honey . £5.10 for 227g, Waitrose . PROMISE: Heathers growing on the Crown Estate in Balmoral produce the nectar for this honey. Beekeepers prize heather honey for its unique taste, and this is a combination of two types of heather, Bell and Ling. VERDICT: Open the jar and just smell the heather aroma before you taste this golden delight. Camilla may have set the bar high but Prince Charles’s answer is also rather beautiful and rare. It has a thick, velvety, sugary texture and a strong but fabulous taste. 3/5 . Duchy Originals Scottish Heather Honey has a thick, velvety, sugary texture and a strong but fabulous taste . Wedderspoon Gold Organic Rata Honey . £14.95 for 325g, wedderspoon.co.uk . PROMISE: Wild Rata trees grow on high land in New Zealand. They flower sporadically, so the nectar is extremely rare. The honey is kept at a low temperature — the same as that of a beehive — to preserve natural enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. VERDICT: Did you ever think honey could taste like a Christmas tree? Take one gulp of this delicious amber nectar and, seconds later, a subtle taste of pines will dance on your tongue. This creamy, firm-set honey scooped a place in the top 50 products (out of 10,000) in the ‘food Oscars’, the Great Taste Awards. Now I’ve tried it, that comes as no surprise. 4/5 . Wedderspoon Gold Organic Rata Honey scooped a place in the top 50 products in

Summary: Duchess of Cornwall has created a buzz with the launch of her own honey . The honey is produced in late spring by the bees in her Wiltshire garden .

A bruising training session involving 50 scrums is how Tom Wood’s Northampton prepared for Saturday’s top-of-the-table meeting with Saracens. The Champions have creaked in recent weeks and England flanker Wood, who claims Saints’ opponents have ‘smelt blood’, is desperate to re-gather the momentum that was lost following the exodus of key international players during the RBS 6 Nations. Defeats by Clermont and Exeter have done little to restore confidence but the East Midlands side are ready to address their mini-slump and breathe life back into the title push. Northampton flanker Tom Wood is keen for his side to regain their form following some recent poor results . The Saints were dumped out of the Champions Cup quarter-finals as Clermont ran riot on their home turf . ‘I don’t think anyone intentionally switches off, but the intensity of a Six Nations camp like that is very difficult to manage,’ said Wood. ‘Some people think you’re away at a five-star holiday resort but the pressure is real. It’s a couple of per cent across the board. ‘You might win it and be partying or you might have lost and come back with a lack of confidence. Then the guys who have stayed back in the trenches for Saints feel like the cavalry have arrived. In fact, the guys coming back are equally tired or even more so. It’s a combination of things and it’s difficult to manage. ‘Now there’s light at the end of the tunnel and we’re not far off full strength. It’s the home straight.’ Saturday’s showpiece fixture will be staged at stadiummk, rather than Franklin’s Gardens, and a record attendance is expected at the home of MK Dons. Northampton’s scrummaging pride was dented in the defeat by Exeter and, according to Wood, the players have paid the price with gruelling fitness sessions. ‘We’ve had to speak a few hard truths and take a good look at ourselves,’ said Wood. ‘Teams have smelt blood a little bit. The last couple of teams have really got into us and pressured us at the scrum, which is something we pride ourselves on. ‘When you give them an in, the fear factor goes all of a sudden and the reputation can dwindle quickly. We’ve got to plug that hole if we really want to be title challengers. You don’t win a Premiership without a strong scrum and set piece. Jim Mallinder's side have been boosted by the return of England lock Courtney Lawes . ‘We’ve definitely been knocked off our rhythm but I don’t think we’ve played well for a long time. Winning can paper over a lot of problems and mask a lot of issues.’ But Saints’ season is still very much alive. They will almost guarantee a home play-off with victory while, in contrast, Harlequins campaign will be over if they lose to Sale. The west London club also felt the squeeze of the Six Nations and they must win at the AJ Bell Stadium to keep alive their slim hopes of Champions Cup qualification. Harlequins full back Ugo Monye (centre) is hanging

Summary: Northampton face Saracens at Franklin's Gardens on Saturday . The reigning champions have creaked in recent weeks . The Saints have lost crucial games to Clermont and Exeter .


Video footage has emerged of a drunken stag party group who caused mayhem on a flight from Scotland to Spain. Fellow passengers sat stunned as the yobs - some of whom were shirtless - sung and swore their way from Glasgow to Alicante on a Jet2 flight last Friday morning. Witnesses said the group drank heavily, abused fellow passengers and airline staff and refused to sit down when the aircraft was landing. Scroll down for video . Footage has emerged of a drunken group of yobs on board a Jet2 flight from Glasgow to Alicante last week . Spanish police were called by cabin crew to escort one of the party, a man in his thirties, off the aircraft when it arrived in Spain. All passengers on the Jet2 flight had to wait in their seats as the plane waited on the runway while officers dealt with the situation. Mobile phone footage of the incident shows a female passenger arguing and grappling with a group of men in the aisle of the plane. One passenger said: 'It was the most horrendous flight I have ever been on. 'There was a large stag party who boarded the plane at Glasgow and they obviously had already had a lot to drink. 'They were shouting, singing and swearing throughout the flight. A few of them took their tops off and refused to sit in their seats when told to.' The video shows the group - some of whom are shirtless - jostling a woman who tries to calm them down . The incident took place on a Jet2 flight to Alicante, where the men were heading for a stag party . The passenger added: 'One of them in particular was swearing constantly and getting into arguments with other passengers. The airline staff were struggling to cope with his rowdiness. 'There were families on the flight and the behaviour was totally out of order. When we landed we were all held on the flight to wait for police to come on board and remove one of the guys. 'One woman got really frustrated at the delay and got involved in a bit of a pushing match with the group.' The group, who were travelling to the Spanish holiday resort of Benidorm, left Glasgow airport for the three-hour flight to Alicante on Friday morning. It is understood the man who was held by police was later released and he was banned from travelling home on his booked Jet2 flight. One man was escorted from the plane after it landed in Alicante (pictured). He was banned from flying back . A spokeswoman for Jet2 said: 'We can confirm that following disruptive behaviour on flight LS177 from Glasgow to Alicante a passenger was denied boarding on his return flight. 'The safety and security of our customers is paramount and this particular passenger's conduct on the outbound flight was disappointing and not acceptable. 'This was an isolated incident and was certainly not representative of our passengers who are often families and couples just on their way to enjoy their holiday.'

Summary: Yobs had 'already drunk a lot' when they boarded early morning flight . They sung, swore and shouted throughout flight from Glasgow to Alicante . Other passengers were jostled as they tried to calm shirtless, rowdy men . One man was escorted from the plane by Spanish police upon arrival .
