Yemeni rebels have seized President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi's palace on the same day Al-Qaeda militants freed hundreds of inmates in a jailbreak. Security officials said member of Al-Qaeda stormed a Hadramawt provincial prison in southeast Yemen and freed more than 300 inmates, including one of their leaders Khalid Batarfi. Batarfi is among Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula's top regional commanders, known for his leading role in a 2011-2012 battle with government troops during which extremists seized large parts of the south and east. Rebels: Armed Houthi members raise their guns aloft while shouting anti-Saudi slogans during a rally protesting airstrikes carried out by a Saudi-led coalition, yesterday . Two guards and five inmates were killed in clashes, the official said. Elsewhere, the advance by Iran-backed rebels into Aden, the last bastion of Hadi supporters came despite a week of Saudi-led air strikes. A senior security official who witnessed the advance said: 'Dozens of Houthi militia and their allies arrived in armoured troop carriers and entered Al-Maashiq presidential palace'. Heavy clashes erupted afterwards between the rebels and their opponents inside the compound. A defence ministry official in Aden later confirmed the fall of the palace, saying it was now controlled by forces loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh, which have allied with the Huthis. Escalating: Damage caused by reported Saudi-airstrikes. Reports today say Yemeni rebels have seized President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi's palace . War-zone: Yemenis walk around the damage caused by an airstrike allegedly carried out by a Saudi-led coalition against a Houthi rebels position in the city of Yarim . The rebels have seized swathes of the country including the capital Sanaa. At least 44 people, including 18 civilians, were reported dead in fierce fighting between opponents and supporters of Hadi in the southern port city today. 'There are bodies and wounded in the streets and nobody dares to approach,' said Khaled al-Shaie, a resident in the central neighbourhood of Crater. Hadi fled to Aden from the capital after the Huthi Shiite rebels seized power in February, and the palace came under fire from warplanes twice during his stay. Carnage: A Yemeni man inspects his house damaged by an airstrike allegedly carried out by a Saudi-led coalition, yesterday. Today, rebel forces seized President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi's palace . He went into hiding last week as the rebels bore down on what was his last stronghold, later surfacing in the Saudi capital as Riyadh launched an air war on the rebels. Saudi Arabia announced Thursday its first casualties since launching the offensive, with one soldier killed and 10 more wounded by gunfire from across the Yemeni border. Rights groups have expressed alarm at civilian casualties, including in an air strike on a camp for displaced people and the bombing of a dairy. Several dozen people were killed in both incidents. "All sides in Yemen's conflict need to do what they can to avoid harming civilians," said Joe Stork of New York-based Human Rights Watch. In the southern province of Dhaleh, Huthis killed 40 rebel fighters who tried to desert after their commander

Prince William is due at the Cenotaph on the same day the Duchess of Cambridge is due to give birth . Prince William is due to accompany the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh on an official engagement next Saturday – the same day his wife is reportedly expected to give birth. Despite the clash, the Duke of Cambridge plans to do ‘everything he can’ to be at the official commemorations to mark the centenary of the Gallipoli and Anzac campaigns at the Cenotaph on April 25, Kensington Palace said yesterday. A spokesman for William said: ‘The Duke’s intention is to be at the commemorations. Being the 100th anniversary, it is very important to him.’ Although her due date has not officially been confirmed, the Duchess of Cambridge told wellwishers at a charity event last month: ‘I’m due mid-April, to the end of April.’ Palace sources later said the actual date was April 25. The Duke committed to being present at the commemorations in February and, according to aides, plans to play things by ear. ‘We will have to see what happens,’ said a senior aide. ‘The Duchess has said the baby is due the second half of the month but we don’t know exactly when the baby will arrive.’ Should Kate, 33, go into labour while the Duke is at work, he faces a dash across the country to get to St Mary’s Hospital in West London in time. He is currently training for his new job as an Air Ambulance pilot at three airbases in Cambridge, Norwich or Gloucestershire. Despite reports that there is a helicopter on stand-by, the Duke, 32, will make the journey by car instead. The Mail on Sunday has also learned there will be a new line-up in the delivery room at St Mary’s Lindo Wing for the couple’s second child. Leading obstetrician Guy Thorpe-Beeston will be in charge of the birth, a spokesman for the couple confirmed, assisted by the Queen’s Surgeon-Gynaecologist Alan Farthing, who had been tipped to take the lead role. Mr Farthing was second-in-command to the now retired Sir Marcus Setchell at the birth of the Royal couple’s first child, George. William is currently training for his new job as an Air Ambulance pilot at three airbases in Cambridge, Norwich or Gloucestershire . ‘Both names will be on the notice of birth posted outside Buckingham Palace, but it will be Guy Thorpe-Beeston who will take charge,’ the spokesman added. ‘He’s an obstetrics specialist and that’s why he’s in the lead.’ Mr Thorpe-Beeston, a specialist in high-risk pregnancies, works at London’s private Portland Hospital and on Harley Street, where he has 18 years’ experience. He was made Surgeon-Gynaecologist to the Royal Household last year following his role in the delivery of George on July 22, 2013, also at the Lindo Wing. The consultant – who is believed to have looked after Kate when she was sick with hyperemesis gravidarum during her first trimester – will be the first person the Duchess calls when she goes into labour. He has cleared his diary so he

Realtors in Indianapolis are looking to unload what's likely the Midwestern city's gaudiest and most famous home--a 26,000-square-foot castle built of ranch homes glued together by a former pimp turned construction king. For a meager $862,000, its gargoyles, endless balconies and ornate fountains can be yours with which to carry on the eccentric torch of quirky Indy celebrity Jerry A. Hostetler. It sprang from inimitable Hostetler's imagination after he went from 24-year-old pimp known to police as Mr. Big to a local mini-magnate. Now, as it sits largely unoccupied, it's a cause for both concern and awe as neighbors wonder how something so immensely unique and bound to its creator can remain among the neighborhood's modest ranchers and middle class homes. Scroll down for video . Went big: Realtors in Indianapolis are looking to unload what's likely the Midwestern city's gaudiest and most famous home--a 26,000 square foot castle built of ranch homes glued together by a former pimp turned construction king . Uncertain future: Hostetler realized his vision, but after he died in 2006 the home became a spectacle when no longer attached to its creator . Currently trying to sell off the home is Indiana-born, Florida-based tech investor Chad Folkening, reports the Indy Star. He purchased the home in foreclosure following Hostetler's 2006 death. He listed it for $2.2 million in February 2012. By December 2013, that number had dropped to $1,295,000. Last week, the asking price dropped to $862,000. But the home's newest listing agent is keeping an upbeat attitude. 'I showed it to two serious buyers last week,' agent Tiff Atkinson told the Star. 'One cannot even begin to describe,' continued Atkinson. 'Lots of architectural design, very private, two or three parking garages.' Started small: Jerry A. Hostetler was once a 24-year-old pimp known to Indianapolis police as Mr. Big. After becoming a local construction mini-mogul, he started buying up the homes around his modest 3-bedroom ranch house . Inventive: The house is actually five garden-variety ranch houses cobbled together to form a 20,000-plus square foot campus-o-fun complete with swimming pool, ballroom and guesthouse . Atkinson and Folkening have envisioned a sort of live-and-work tech startup campus as one use for the home. Atkinson, who works for Carpenter Realtors, sees the perfect home for 'formal and informal gatherings, from small crowds to hundreds of guests.' Starting from a three-bedroom ranch house where he lived since the '60s for a short time with a wife and infant daughter, Hostetler gradually bought up his neighbors' houses. Hostetler, on the other hand, saw a blank canvas on which to splatter his haphazard domestic vision. Steadily grew: He cobbled them together, dug a swimming pool, dug ponds, imported fountains, added ballrooms, added life-size statues of gorillas, added -- of all things -- a stone grotto (into which he installed a hot tub) Spacious: When the banks finally caught up with Hostetler, who'd long ago stopped paying his debts, his sprawling home had grown to 23,000 square feet . The house is actually five garden-variety ranch houses cobbled together to form a 20,000-plus

Summary: The gargoyles, endless balconies and fountains can be yours to help carry on the eccentric torch of quirky Indy celebrity Jerry A. Hostetler . The current owner bought the home after Hostetler's 2006 death. He listed it for $2.2M in February 2012, $1.3M in 2013 and now for less than a million . The house is five garden-variety ranchers glued together to form a campus-o-fun complete with swimming pool, ballroom and guesthouse .


Robert De Niro has said Hillary Clinton should be president, insisting she has 'earned the right' to be elected. The Hollywood legend, 71, who has been a long-time supporter of the Democratic Party, said if the former Secretary of State is voted into the White House there will be 'no surprises'. In an interview with the Daily Beast, the Goodfellas star said she had paid her dues, adding: 'It’s that simple. And she’s a woman, which is very important because her take on things may be what we need right now.' Robert De Niro, 71, (pictured with Hillary Clinton at a New York benefit in 2013), said if the former Secretary of State is voted into the White House there will be 'no surprises' He was joined by American producer and Tribeca Film Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal. She also gave her backing to the ex-First Lady, saying: 'She’s smart, has run things before, and knows how government works and how to get things done. 'She’s watched it from the sidelines, and the frontlines.' De Niro joined Clinton last December was they were both honored at the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice & Human Rights annual gala. His political punditry however is not something new. In 2006, while promoting The Good Shepherd, he appeared on Hardball opposite Matt Damon at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. Host Chris Matthews asked De Niro who he would like to be president in the future. The veteran actor replied: 'Well, I think of two people: Hillary Clinton and Obama.' While continuing to build his stellar film career, he has also become a donor for the Democratic party. The Goodfellas star says Cliton has 'paid her dues' and insisted the Democrat has 'earned the right to be head of this country' In 2012, he hosted a $25,000-a-head dinner at the White House with Michelle Obama to raise funds for Barack Obama's re-election effort. However he caused controversy when he said it was 'too soon' for a white First Lady. Speaking at a dinner in the Greenwich Hotel, which he owns, De Niro said: 'Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?' A guest at the event, which was held in the hotel's Locanda Verde restaurant, yelled, 'No!', to which De Niro added: 'Too soon, right?' Michelle Obama said the remarks were inappropriate.

Team Sky's Geraint Thomas had to settle for 14th place in an incident-packed Tour of Flanders as Norwegian Alexander Kristoff took victory in a sprint finish with Holland's Niki Terpstra. With Tom Boonen and Fabian Cancellara - winners of six of the last 10 races here - missing through injury, Thomas was one of the favourites to claim the title following his recent victory in E3 Harelbeke and third-place finish at the Gent-Wevelgem sprint classic. He was in contention for much of Sunday's race as Team Sky set the pace in the peloton for lengthy periods, but the Welshman was unable to recover ground as Kristoff (Team Katusha) and Terpstra (Etixx - Quick-Step) launched a late breakaway. Alexander Kristoff celebrates by spraying champagne after winning the Tour of Flanders . Norway's Kristoff poses after beating off competition from Niki Terpstra to win the Tour of Flanders race . The highly-fancied Kristoff came home in a time of six hours, 26 minutes and 38 seconds, with Terpstra just behind and local hope Greg van Avermaet of Belgium (BMC) seven seconds back in third. Thomas, looking to become only the second Briton to win the event after Tom Simpson in 1961, finished in the chasing pack almost a minute back. It was not to be for Team Sky, who had pushed hard throughout as they sought their first win in one of cycling's big five classic one-day races - and one that was not short of incident. Sir Bradley Wiggins, in one of his last rides for Team Sky, was one of a number of riders to hit the deck during the race when he crashed in the middle of the peloton while trying to negotiate a tight left-hand turn. Team Sky's Geraint Thomas finished in 14th position after struggling to close the gap on the likes of Kristoff . Although he needed a spare bike, Wiggins was able to continue but other riders suffered worse with New Zealander Jesse Sergent - who was part of a seven-man breakaway group - suffering what was feared to be a fractured collarbone after being hit by a neutral service car as it tried to overtake him. Incredibly, there was another incident involving a support car later on which saw Sebastien Chavanel also knocked off his bike and out of the race. The Frenchman was hit by his team car after it had been rear-ended by another vehicle. Other riders were also involved in spills on the testing surfaces while there was a near moment of farce when one of the inflatable markers straddling the road started to deflate, leaving the riders with barely enough room to get underneath without having to break stride. The late drama was created by Kristoff and Terpstra, though. They escaped the pack with around 30 kilometres left and, with no one able to catch them, it was down to one of them to take the crown. Terpstra bided his time on the final straight as he sat on Kristoff's wheel waiting for the right moment to attack, but when he did

Summary: Norway's Alexander Kristoff won race after sprint finish with Niki Terpstra . Geraint Thomas was among favourites to claim title following recent win . The Welshman was unable to recover ground on Kristoff and Terpstra .


A man who passed out at a friend's party woke up with more than a hangover when he discovered a guest had tattooed his back. While Josh Darnbrough, 24, slept, his mate Rob Gaskell, also 24, inked the words 'If found face down call an ambulance' on his back, using a DIY kit. Josh, from Mossley, near Ashton, only discovered the prank the following day after looking in a mirror - and said his partner went 'absolutely bonkers' when she saw it. Josh Darnbrough awoke after a party to find that his friend had tattooed his back . Josh (centre) was tattooed by his friend Rob Gaskell (right) who was taking revenge on his mate after Josh had attempted to tattoo Rob with an at-home kit and it went horribly wrong . Rob said he carried out the practical joke on Josh, who had passed out at a New Year's Eve party, in revenge for a tattoo Josh did on Rob's leg two years ago - which had gone horribly wrong. Starting off with a design for a lizard, Josh tried to turn it into a cross, then some hands and a gun - leading to one almighty, permanent mess on Rob's leg and causing his partner to go 'bonkers'. So when he saw Josh passed out at the party, Rob - who is a father of three - said he 'couldn't resist' the opportunity to execute revenge - and spent 30 minutes etching his own design into his mate's back. Amazingly, the prank hasn't harmed the pair's friendship - and the childhood friends, who are both having their tattoos removed, still see each other every day. But Rob does admit to regretting the prank once he had sobered up. He said: 'The opportunity presented itself and I couldn't resist. 'I didn't feel guilty when I was doing it because I'd had a few drinks myself but I was quite remorseful afterwards and asked everyone not to tell Josh who had done it.' Josh, who is a support worker, said although it was a shock, he has managed to see the funny side. 'I was pretty astonished when I looked in the mirror - I thought, "I didn't go to bed with a tattoo"', he said. 'I didn't know when I'd got it and no one would tell me who'd done it. But since I found out it was Rob it hasn't affected our friendship at all - we still see each other every day. It's just practical jokes between mates.' Rob, also a support worker, added that he would advise anyone against at-home tattoos. 'We had bought a DIY tattoo kit online and originally it was a well-intentioned exercise,' he said. 'Then when it didn't turn out right it dawned on me this was forever and I was stuck with it. The pair are both getting their tattoos removed by laser technician Maria Patricia (right) and say the incident hasn't affected their friendship . 'Josh started off doing a lizard, then a cross, then some hands and a gun - he

A football club chairman has warned of a new breed of hooliganism in the sport – from retired grandfathers who are trying to relive their youth and encourage violence on match days. Dave Doggett, the boss of League Two outfit Cambridge United, believes groups of up to 10 men - aged in their 50s and 60s - are trying to relive the 1980s by arranging fights with rivals prior to games. He said violence at matches has increased recently as the older men return to watching their team play in their retirement and fears there is a danger that they will try to encourage younger fans to join their 'gangs'.

Dave Doggett, the chairman of Cambridge United, has warned of a new breed of hooliganism and believes groups of up to 10 men - aged in their 50s and 60s - are trying to relive the 1980s by arranging fights with rivals . Mr Doggett said violence at matches has increased recently as older men return to watching their team play in their retirement and fears there is a danger that they will try to encourage younger fans to join their 'gangs' Writing in his club's latest programme, Mr Doggett said: 'Unfortunately football clubs still attract an undesirable element of society that appear determined to ruin the enjoyment of real supporters of football clubs. 'Our promotion to the Football League appears to have encouraged our "risk" from the 1980s to come out of retirement. 'Many of them are grandparents trying to encourage the next generation to join their "gangs". 'It sounds pathetic but unfortunately it is reality. We are working closely with police. 'Hopefully the reality of the potential consequences will dissuade some of our younger supporters from becoming involved with these undesirables. 'Our football club is too important to so many to allow a few to ruin our great sport.' Peter Woor, a Cambridge United fan, said he had noticed that the hooliganism of the 1970s and 1980s still lingers in games against local rivals such as Southend United and Luton Town. He said: 'There's a tension and you feel threatened so I don't go to those places anymore. It's not worth it. 'Most places are fine though, but you still tend to go to away games and keep your colours hidden. 'I remember the 1970s and 1980s and it was horrendous and of course it's nothing like that but it's still a problem. 'These people must have something missing in their lives to want to do this. It's very sad.' Cambridge supporter Simon Dobbin, 42 (pictured with wife Nicole), remains in a medically-induced coma since being attacked after an away game to Southend on March 21. Police said he was an 'entirely innocent victim' Mr Doggett said older men were those causing violence.

The Kansas City Royals and Chicago White Sox each lost Saturday without playing a game. Four members of the Royals and three from the White Sox were punished for their roles in a series-opening brawl and six of the players drew suspensions. Major League Baseball placed the blame for the fighting squarely on both teams. Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura was handed a seven-game suspension, fellow starter Edinson Volquez given five games and outfielder Lorenzo Cain and reliever Kelvin Herrera got two games apiece. White Sox pitchers Chris Sale and Jeff Samardzija were suspended five games each, while catcher Tyler Flowers escaped suspension but joined the others in getting an undisclosed fine. Mass brawl: Chicago White Sox's Jeff Samardzija (center) in the brawl with Kansas City Royals players during the seventh inning of Thursday's game. Smardzija and five others have been suspended as a result . All-in: Each player ran onto the field for the brawl where there was pushing, shoving and a few punches . Several punches were thrown and Kansas City's Ventura, Lorenzo Cain and Edinson Volquez were ejected along with Chicago's Chris Sale and Jeff Samardzija (pictured going down) The Royals have not said whether they plan to appeal their punishments, which would begin with Sunday's series finale because of a rainout Saturday. Sale and Samardzija plan to appeal. 'I think everybody had some elements of their behavior over the course of that incident on both sides that they wish they handled differently,' White Sox general manager Rick Hahn said during a conference call Saturday. 'Respect the fact that our players stood up and took responsibility for their actions and expressed remorse over those things they wish had been handled better. 'It is something that happens from time to time,' Hahn added. 'It's part of the game.' It's a costly part of the game, though. Along with the suspensions, Hahn said reliever Matt Albers fractured a finger on his throwing hand in the melee and will go on the disabled list. Meanwhile, Herrera is already awaiting an appeal on a five-game suspension that was handed down after he threw a pitch behind Oakland third baseman Brett Lawrie during a series last weekend. Ventura was fined for hitting Lawrie with a 99 mph fastball during the same series. 'We understand that Major League Baseball has to do what they think is fair in situations like this,' Royals manager Ned Yost said in a team statement. 'Now, we just have to wait for the appeals process to play out.'

Morrisons supermarket is bringing in halal-only pick and mix counters so that Muslim customers don't have to check the ingredients of their sweets. A selection of 36 sweets - including liquorice sticks, cola bottles, jelly beans and gummy bears - are on sale, all guaranteed to be free of animal products or alcohol-based ingredients. The 10 stores trialling the scheme include Blackburn, Bolton, Preston, Bradford, West Bromwich, Birmingham, Leamington Spa and three in London. Morrisons supermarket has brought in halal-only pick and mix counters to cater for Muslim customers. Two-year-old Faizaan Ali (right) was among the first to sample the sweets in the chain's Blackburn store. The company, which has over 500 stores around the UK, has chosen the locations according to the make-up of their local communities. John Brooksbank, store general manager of Morrisons in Blackburn, said: 'Many customers have asked us about Halal sweets, so we have designed and introduced a new range. 'We are the first big supermarket in the UK to do this. It's a large range so we hope that it will provide a sweet treat for every taste. 'We would consider introducing the halal sweets range at other stores, should there be a demand. 'Yummys, the brand available, is a recognised Halal confectionery brand, which we are also selling in single bags in our world food aisle.' The supermarket has been praised by Muslim figures after announcing the move. Husnaa Ali, nine, tucks in to the treats at one of 10 stores around Britain chosen to trial the new scheme . The supermarket says it has brought in the idea in response to demand from customers in certain areas . Salim Mulla, chairman of the halal sub-committee at the Lancashire Council of Mosques, said: 'I think there are quite a few manufacturers who sell halal sweets but this is the first major supermarket to sell halal confectionery. I really welcome that. Halal involves specific methods of killing animals which adhere to Islamic laws. Livestock or poultry must be slaughtered by cutting the jugular vein and carotid artery while the animal is alive and healthy. The blood is then drained from the carcass, while a Muslim recites a dedication. Views differ over whether the animal can be stunned before being killed. Halal sweets include only gelatin from halal slaughtered animals and do not contain any other animal-derived ingredients from non-halal animals. 'It is definitely something the Council of Mosques would support. Sweets are very popular with the Muslim community. I think the pick and mix will do really well.' Until now, Muslims have had to look at the ingredients to see if the sweets are suitable to eat as some contain animal products which are not halal. Abdul Hamid Qureshi, chairman of the Lancashire Council of Mosques, added: 'More and more supermarkets are introducing halal products to meet the needs of the customers, but this is the first halal pick and mix I have heard of. 'There will be financial reasons behind it. Businesses will not just sell products for social needs. 'Chains such as KFC have

Summary: Supermarket giant becomes first to introduce halal-only sweet counters . Move being trialled in 10 stores around the UK based on local community . Counters will sell 36 types of gelatine-free and alcohol-free sweets . Muslim figures praise the move and say demand will be high .


Everton manager Roberto Martinez admits he would not be able to ease striker Romelu Lukaku through the remainder of the season even if he wanted to. The Belgium international is set to return from a four-week absence with a hamstring injury this weekend at home to Burnley. Considering the workload the 21-year-old has had over the last 10 months, taking in the World Cup in Brazil and then heading straight into a Premier League and European campaign, there may have been a temptation to let their top scorer have a more restful end to the season with the Toffees having nothing to play for. Roberto Martinez admits he would not be able to ease Romelu Lukaku (pictured) back in even if he wanted to . Everton striker Lukaku is set to return from a four-week absence with a hamstring injury this weekend . However, Martinez believes he would have a difficult time trying to convince him to take it easy, even if he was inclined to protect his striker from more injuries before the end of the campaign. 'I think it would be near-enough impossible to keep Rom away from the football pitch at this stage. It's not in his nature,' said the Spaniard. 'Someone like Rom needs to be on the football pitch. He is only 21 and I don't think there is any need for that at all. 'If I am completely honest I think he has been suffering a lot in the last seven to 10 days that he has been injured and away from the team. 'Rom belongs on the pitch, working for the team and scoring goals and becoming important and I don't think there is a strong case to rest him now. 'What we have to make sure is when he gets involved with Belgium in June he gets a proper break and he can recover and regenerate and get ready for next season.' Lukaku struggled to find his form in the first half of the season after the World Cup and he had only two goals to his name by mid-October. In 26 appearances up to and including January 1 he scored just seven times, but Martinez believes once he regained full sharpness there was a significant change. That is backed up by his statistics since January 1 as he has scored 11 in 16 matches. Martinez believes he would have a difficult time trying to convince striker Lukaku to take it easy . Everton manager Martinez pictured at the Liberty Stadium where his side drew 1-1 with Swansea City . 'I think there have been two clear different periods,' added Martinez. 'Coming back from the World Cup was a really tough moment from a physical point of view to get back to his best level. 'We worked really hard to get him back to the level and from the last week of December there was a real change for someone like him who relies on his physical capability. 'I thought he hit the best level and from that point on we have seen a

Summary: Romelu Lukaku signed for Everton for £28m from Chelsea in the summer . The striker has been out for four weeks due to a hamstring injury . Lukaku could be set to make his return at Goodison Park against Burnley . Roberto Martinez says he could not ease Lukaku in even if he wanted to .


They say every cloud has a silver lining, but not every cloud has an outline like this one. A Northern Territory mother was lost for words after she spotted a phallic cloud on a work break last week. Labourer Noeleen Foster was thrilled to capture the suggestively shaped formation above Zuccoli -25km southeast from Darwin - on Friday morning. A phallic shaped cloud which appeared last week in Zuccoli, 25km southeast of Darwin . The mother of-four told Daily Mail Australia she snapped the pornographic precipitation from the civil construction site where she works. 'I was pretty shocked when I saw it. I couldn't believe my eyes - it seems even mother nature has a sense of humour!' Ms Foster was alone for the break but she's sure somebody else in the area must have recognised the X-rated cloud. The Palmerston resident said she loves the clouds and often photographs them, but she's never come across one shaped like this. Labourer Noeleen Foster (right) said she couldn't believe her eyes when she spotted the suggestively shaped cloud . Not the first: This famous phallic cloud was captured by a nature photographer last year in Debyshire, central England . It's not the first natural phallic phenomenon though: last June, a 48-year-old nature photographer captured another famous penis cloud which made waves online. 'Villager Jim,' who chose not to give his full name, snapped the naughty cloud in Debyshire, central England. ‘I couldn’t believe it when I saw it over my house. It’s not usually the sort of thing I would take a picture of,’ he told Metro. You can see his Facebook page here .

A Japanese bullet train has broken the speed record for rail vehicles by reaching 366mph (589km/h). The Maglev train completed a test run on a track in Yamanashi, beating the previous record of 361mph (580km/h) set in 2003. Another attempt is scheduled for tomorrow, and engineers at the Central Japan Railway Company predict it could reach 373mph (600km/h). Scroll down for video . A Japanese bullet train has broken the speed record for rail vehicles by reaching 366mph (589km/h) Maglev trains use magnets to lift the carriages above the track. This eliminates the need for wheels and therefore any incidence of friction, providing a faster and quieter service. Acceleration and deceleration far exceeds that of conventional trains. And maglev also makes for much smoother journeys. Right now speeds are limited at up to 400 kilometres (250 miles) per hour due to the excessive air resistance encountered at these speeds. But vacuum tube designs could allow them to travel over seven times faster in the future. The seven-car train was able to go so fast because it made use of a magnetic charge to lift and move it above a guideway. The technology promises a ride that's smoother, quieter and almost twice as fast as traditional high-speed rail. The speeds, however, won't be as high when the new line between Tokyo and Nagoya comes into service in 2027. According to engineers, the trains will travel at 314mph (505km/h), which will cut the journey time for a 178-mile journey by more than half. For comparison, the UK's HS2 rail line will run at 224mph (360km/h). The Maglev trains are expected to eventually consist of 16 carriages and carry up to 1,000 passengers at a time. Japan is well-established as the world leader in high-speed trains, having developed the first 'bullet train' in 1964 . It is now hoping to bring the technology to the US and has outlined plans for a line between Washington and Baltimore, which will cut travel times between the cities to just 15 minutes. Maglev was first proposed as a method to propel trains as far back as the mid 20th century. The first commercial maglev train to come into operation was a relatively low-speed shuttle at Birmingham International Airport in 1984. This travelled at a rather mundane 26mph (42km/hr). It was not until the turn of the century, though, that high-speed maglev would come into commercial operation, mostly in Japan and China. The technology promises a ride that's smoother, quieter and almost twice as fast as traditional high-speed rail. The speeds won't be as high when the new line between Tokyo and Nagoya comes into service in 2027 . China was the first country to have a commercially-operated Maglev service. The Shanghai Maglev opened to the public in January 2004, and has a top commercial operational speed of 268mph due to the short track length.It cost $1.3billion (£830million) to build. Manufacturers claim that Maglev technology is less polluting than the flights that currently link the cities. But not everyone is convinced that the technology is safe. Andy Kunz, president

Summary: Seven-car train beat previous record of 361mph (580km/h) set in 2003 . It made use of a magnetic charge to lift and move it above a guideway . Maglev service between Tokyo and Nagoya will begin running in 2027 . Train's engineers are planning new attempt to reach 373mph (600km/h)


Anyone who has spent hours sitting in a traffic jam can attest that cars are not always the most comfortable spaces. But some are considerably worse than others, an extensive survey of motorists found. The most uncomfortable is the Nissan Note Mk1 with a score of just 80 per cent, according to the poll of 61,000 drivers. Hot on its wheels is the Hyundai i20 Mk1 with 81.01 per cent and Fiat Panda Mk2 at 81.49 per cent. The original version of the Nissan Note was named the most uncomfortable car in a poll of more than 60,000 drivers . The mark one Hyundai i20 was named the second most uncomfortable car, with 81.1 per cent of the vote . 1. Nissan Note Mk1 - 80.00% . 2. Hyundai i20 Mk1 - 81.01% . 3. Fiat Panda Mk2 - 81.49% . 4. VW Passat Mk7 - 82.79% . 5. Peugeot 107 MK1 - 83.53% . 6. Toyota Yaris Mk2 - 83.93% . 7. VW Touran Mk1 - 84.00% . 8. Toyota Auris Mk1 - 84.49% . 9. Seat Ibiza Mk4 - 85.03% . 10. VW Polo Mk5 - 85.12% . Three designs by German manufacturer Volkswagen make it into the bottom ten – including the Passat Mk7 (82.79 per cent), Touran Mk1 (84 per cent), and the Polo Mk5 (85.12 per cent). Toyota had two entries, while Seat and Peugeot had one each. Unsurprisingly, it is brands associated with luxury that dominate the other end of the scale. Of the 200 car models covered by the survey, the ten most comfortable include five by Lexus – which also took the top spot. The company's RX Mk2 managed a score of 97.27 per cent, just beating its own GS Mk3 into second place (97.24 per cent). Jeep also made an appearance in the top ten, with its Grand Cherokee Mk4 taking sixth place with 96.55 per cent. And family favourite Volvo did remarkably well, coming it at third, fourth and seventh place. The MG3 came in tenth with 95.56 per cent. The second version of the Fiat Panda was also named in the top ten most uncomfortable cars . 1. Lexus RX Mk2 - 97.27% . 2. Lexus GS Mk3 - 97.24% . 3. Volvo XC70 Mk2 - 96.98% . 4. Volvo V40 Mk2 - 96.80% . 5. Lexus RX Mk3 - 96.74% . 6. Jeep Grand Cherokee Mk4 - 96.55% . 7. Volvo V70 Mk3 - 96.39% . 8. Lexus IS Mk3 - 95.89% . 9. Lexus NX - 95.81% . 10. MG3 - 95.56% . A spokesman for Auto Express magazine, which carried out the survey, said: 'Seat comfort is a big factor in motoring satisfaction, as it makes your time in the car that little bit more pleasant.' It added: 'It's a poor showing for Nissan with the Note MK1 languishing at the bottom of the seat comfort top 200, although age may now be playing a part. 'Volkswagen won't be happy to see three of its models in the bottom 10.' The most comfortable cars in Britain are made

Summary: Nissan Note Mk1 was named the most uncomfortable car in the country . Hyundai i20 Mk1 and Fiat Panda Mk2 took second and third spots . Ten most comfortable cars include five by Lexus, which also took top spot .


This is the horrifying moment a 14-year-old Mexican girl was torn away from her family by federal police and sent to live with a Houston woman who mistakenly thought she was her long-lost daughter. Alondra Luna Nunez can be seen screaming and fighting with every ounce of her energy as she is dragged out of her school in front of her mother in Guanajuato in central Mexico last week. She pleaded with the officers, who were working for Interpol, not to take her from her parents. Alondra is now back with her real family after a DNA test proved that she was not the daughter of Houston resident Dorotea Garcia. 'They stole my daughter,' her real mother, Susana Nunez, raged to Milenio Television on Wednesday. 'I didn't know this woman existed.' Taken: Alondra Luna Nunez's case drew international attention after a video of her being forced into a police vehicle last week appeared online . Alondra used every ounce of her energy to fight Mexican federal police officers, who were working for Interpol on the orders of a Texas judge. Garcia says she found Alondra after she traveled to Mexico in search of her daughter who was illegally taken from Texas by her father in 2007 at age four. Garcia convinced authorities that Alondra was her daughter, despite her family's pleas and the fact that they produced a birth certificate, baptismal documents and family photographs of Alondra as a small child. Alondra was torn away from her parents and little brother by police who were acting on the orders of a judge from Texas. She was taken to the neighboring state of Michoacan for a hearing on April 12. A judge there ignored her family's pleas - and the evidence - that Alondra belonged to them and not Garcia from Texas. In the end, the Mexican judge ruled in Garcia's favor based on a car on the bridge of Alondra's nose. Garcia claimed her daughter had a scar above her eyebrow. Back home: Alondra Luna Nunez smiles at a press conference on Wednesday after she was returned to her parents in Guanajuato, Mexico . Alondra is seen with her father, little brother and mother after she was reunited with her family when a DNA test proved she was not the daughter of the Houston woman who claimed her . Dorotea Garcia (pictured) believed that Alondra Nunez was her long-lost daughter Alondra, who was taken to Mexico by her father in 2007 . The girl and Garcia went by bus to Houston, where Alondra later recorded a video, posted to social media, in which she looked calm and happy and told her parents in Mexico not to worry as they waited for results of a DNA test there. 'I'm fine. I see that the United States is nice,' she said, adding, 'I don't understand anything they're saying, because everything is in English.' On Wednesday, after being returned to her parents, Alondra spoke to reporters in her hometown of Guanajuato and said she was happy to be home. She said the video recorded in

Summary: Alondra Luna Nunez's case drew international attention after a video of her being forced into a police vehicle last week appeared online . There was no immediate explanation of why authorities did not confirm her identity before sending her out of the country . The Foreign Ministry said Mexican officials were carrying out a court order to send Alondra to Dorotea Garcia, a Houston woman .


Nervous, I was: Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars films, said he had some reservations about Abrams . Mark Hamill knew he had to say yes when George Lucas told him about the plans to move forward with a new Star Wars trilogy. 'It's not like a choice. It's like I was drafted,' Hamill told a massive crowd Saturday night at Star Wars Celebration of his decision to reprise his role as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. 'Could you imagine if for some reason I said 'I don't think I want to do it?' I would have all of you surrounding my house like villagers, angry villagers with lightsabers instead of torches,' joked the 63-year-old Star Wars veteran. Hamill admitted he was caught off guard when Lucas invited him to lunch. When Hamill's wife surmised that perhaps there was a new film in the works, Hamill laughed. Lucas had told him specifically that he was done making Star Wars movies after the prequels. He assumed Lucas was going to announce a 3-D release or roll out another box set of the films, laughing about the number of versions that have been made available. Still, his interest was piqued when Lucas disinvited Hamill's daughter. He knew that meant it must be big. When things started coming together, Hamill said he was cautiously optimistic about J.J. Abrams, the chosen director for The Force Awakens. 'I was a little suspicious because he was a Star Trek guy,' said Hamill, laughing. The actor quickly clarified that he likes Star Trek. 'It just seems odd,' he said. They're back: Hamill is pictured above with Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, and Anthony Daniels, who played C-3PO . Oldschool: Hamill is pictured left with Fisher and Harrison Ford, who plays Han Solo, in the first Star Wars film . He went on to compliment Abrams for his inclusiveness. Abrams, Hamill noted, is also the first 'Star Wars' director to be borne out of true fandom of the original films. 'He feels the way you feel in terms of wanting practical effects. Real sets,' he said. Keeping in line with the secrecy surrounding The Force Awakens, which opens on December 18, Hamill said he is always worried about leaking information. He claims he even learned the subtitle of the seventh film on the Internet. 'They're so secretive these days,' said Hamill. 'When we did the first one no one cared.' Hamill was 'cleared' to tell the packed house that he did record a voiceover specifically for the new teaser trailer, which debuted on Thursday during the Celebration kick-off panel. This image released by Lucasfilm shows a scene from 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens,' the highly anticipated film by J.J. Abrams that hits theaters Dec. 18. (Lucasfilm via AP) In the teaser, we hear Luke's voice saying a familiar, but slightly altered line from Return of the Jedi: 'The force is strong in my family. My father has it. I have it. My sister has it. You have that power too.' He

A New York woman running an alleged wife-for-hire immigration scheme pleaded not guilty Friday based on charges that she married 10 men over 11 years and charged a fee for her 'services'. One of the men 38-year-old Lianna Barrientos wed was deported back to Pakistan for making threatening statements against the United States in 2006 after an investigation by the Joint Terrorism Task Force, it has been revealed. Barrientos, originally from the Dominican Republican, lived with her partner and two children in the Bronx until her arrest in February, however was legally married to at least four people at the time. In court today, prosecutors said Barrientos married men from Egypt, Bangladesh, Turkey, Czechoslovakia, Pakistan, Mali and Georgia - countries that were 'red flags' for immigration, according to The New York Daily News. At one time she was married to eight men simultaneously. Always the bride: Liana Barrientos, 39, of the Bronx, pleaded not guilty on Friday to two felony charges of filing a false instrument, involving marriage licences . Sullen: Barrientos, seen here in Bronx Supreme Court on Friday, is accused of marrying 10 men over the course of 11 years in an apparent immigrant scam . Charged: The Bronx district attorney's office says she faces two counts of felony fraud charges . Swindle: Barrientos is accused of accepting money in at least one of the marriages, prosecutors say . All of her marriages took place in New York state, allegedly starting in 1999. Authorities only cottoned on after she said her 2010 marriage to Salle Keita, of Mali, - the tenth time she tied the knot - was actually her first, the New York Post reported. This launched an investigation that unraveled a totaly of ten times Barrientos has allegedly walked down the aisle. Barrientos would spell her name differently on some marriage licenses and would file all over the state, in places including Westchester County, Mamaroneck, White Plains, Ramapo and Long Island, investigators said. Six of the sham marriages occurred in one year, authorities allege. The Daily News reported that it was her eighth husband, Rashid Rajput, that was deported to his home country of Pakistan following an investigation by the Joint Terrorism Task Force. She has pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of filing a false instrument, involving marriage licences. 'This is a huge breach in security,' national security expert Manny Gomez told WABC. 'If someone could remarry 10 times without bringing it to the attention of the authorities, potentially an al-Qaeda plant could come in, marry this woman and be in this country illegally, plotting, recruiting, perhaps even executing a terrorist attack.' Bride: Liana Barrientos, pictured, has been married ten times. Her first marriage took place in 1999, with most recent being in 2010 . Barrientos' marriage took place in 1999 to Mohamed Gerbril .

A perilous party-trick backfired when a man was hospitalised after swallowing a beer bottle at a family get together. St John paramedics were called to a home in Wagaman, northern Darwin, at about 9pm on Wednesday. The 38-year-old man had reportedly chewed and swallowed the entire glass bottle 'and then went for a lie down', at which point his family called Royal Darwin Hospital, reports NT News. Paramedics were called to a home in northern Darwin after a man chewed and swallowed an entire glass bottle of beer . Superintendent Louise Jorgensen said reports of drunken and foolish behaviour are highly frustrating for police. 'People are dismayed when we can't respond to their jobs immediately, but this is why — because of all these other jobs that are coming in. 'General duties police are run off their feet by anti-social behaviour and Alice Springs is in a similar position.' There were over 500 calls made to Northern Territory police between 3pm-11pm on Wednesday, most of them domestics or drunken anti-social behaviour. The 38-year-old man had reportedly chewed and swallowed the entire glass bottle before lying down, at which point his family called Royal Darwin Hospital (pictured)

The Duchess of Cambridge is already up to four days overdue with her second child - and her labour could now be induced this week, it was claimed today. The 33-year-old royal’s baby is expected before the end of April - with the due date initially reported as yesterday, but later claimed to actually be as early as Wednesday last week. Either way Kate - who plans to give birth at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, central London - is now overdue and may have already spoken to doctors about the possibility of being induced. Scroll down for video . Previous royal birth: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge leave the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, central London, in a proud moment with their newborn son Prince George in July 2013 . Due date: Preparations have been made outside the Lindo Wing of the hospital (pictured yesterday) for the huge crowds expected to welcome the royal birth - with the Duchess said to be up to four days overdue . A source, whose children were born at the hospital’s exclusive Lindo Wing, told Daily Telegraph reporter Gordon Rayner: ‘The doctors don’t normally wait for more than a week. ‘They will probably already have been in touch with Kate, and talked about which day which suit her best to go in and be induced if the baby doesn’t arrive in the next couple of days.’ A Kensington Palace source said last week: 'We haven't ever confirmed a due date.' Prince George was reportedly born three days late when he arrived at the hospital in July 2013. The joint favourite dates for the royal baby to be born are tomorrow and Tuesday at 6/1 - with Wednesday priced at 7/1 and Thursday 8/1, according to MailOnline's official betting partner Coral. The bookmaker is also offering evens on a morning birth, 3/1 on the baby arriving in the afternoon and 2/1 on it being in the evening – while Alice (5/4) and Charlotte (5/1) are the favourite names.

Cute: Prince William and Kate pose with their son Prince George at the National History Museum in London . But some punters might look further ahead for their bets - if they believe those who say labour is influenced by the lunar cycle and the arrival of a full moon. The next full moon is on May 4. The idea is the moon's gravitational pull affects the amniotic fluid in the same way it affects water in the sea and rivers. When Kate gave birth on July 22, 2013, it was the day of a new full moon. Meanwhile Prime Minister David Cameron has defended William and Kate for opting to use private health services rather than the NHS. Asked if he was disappointed the Royal Family did not use the NHS, Mr Cameron told Sky News today: ‘I think it's a total matter of choice for people - what they use and

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez has admitted he was nervous at the prospect of playing alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar when he joined the club. The Uruguayan, who arrived under a cloud following his ban for biting at last year's World Cup, has made a rapid adjustment to life at the Catalan club - scoring vital goals to help put them on course for a treble. Barca face Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday looking to book a place in the Champions League semi-finals with a 3-1 lead from the first leg in which Suarez struck twice. Luis Suarez (second left) admits he was nervous at playing alongside Lionel Messi and Neymar at Barcelona . Neymar (back left) and Messi (right) formed a devastating partnership in attack for Barca last season . Suarez has scored 19 goals in all competitions but most importantly he has found the net in key games. He got the winner in the El Clasico against Real Madrid last month and struck twice in the first leg against Manchester City in the Champions League last 16. Despite scoring 31 goals for Liverpool in the Premier League last season, the prospect of proving himself in Barca's vaunted attack was intimidating. 'When I arrived I was timid with Messi and Neymar but they just said to me to play as I had done at Liverpool. Now I feel fine off and on the pitch and we have a good time together,' Suarez told a news conference on Monday. Suarez said he has concentrated on being level-headed and that his team mates have helped him fit in at the club.

'I always have gone out to try and do well and I didn't listen when it was said that I was the best in the world or the worst. I am very self-critical and I carry myself the same,' Suarez said. 'When things were not going well for me I was grateful for the support of people close to me. The players always were behind me and so was the coach. 'At the moment I feel that I am helping the team with goals and assists but as long as the team is doing well then I am happy as well. It is not important who scores as long as the team progresses.'

Floyd Mayweather v 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 v 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 fifth in a series of 12 fights that shaped boxing history, I look back on one of the greatest sporting events of all time. THE NEAR-DEATH FIGHT . Muhammad Ali v Joe Frazier . The Thrilla in Manila . Quezon City, Philippines . October 1, 1975 . Just as they are saying about Mayweather v Pacquiao, the perceived wisdom was that Ali-Frazier was coming five years too late for two great boxers in their 30s. Let us hope they are so spectacularly wrong again. That star-spangled night in New York when Smokin' Joe knocked down and defeated The Greatest had been followed in 1974 by a tamer, scrappier, points victory for Ali.

June 22, 1938, Yankee Stadium, New York . This time Don King had Manila in mind as the next heavyweight stop for his globe-trotting circus. Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos, like Zaire's President Mobuto before him, saw sponsorship of the fight as a distraction from the poverty and social unrest in his country. It was Ali who became most distracted during the build-up. When invited to a photo-opportunity with Marcos and his infamously big-spending wife Imelda, he took his mistress Veronica Porsche along and introduced her as his wife. Mrs Belinda Ali watched that happen on US television and immediately flew to Manila to confront her husband, loudly, in his hotel suite. Ali returned to his customary psychological baiting of his opponents. He had insulted Frazier before their first fight and did so again chanting: 'It will be Killa and a Thrilla and a Chilla when I get The Gorilla in Manila.' Thus the title for the fight, The Thrilla in Manila, was coined. Ali pictured alongside his infamously big-spending wife Mrs Belinda Ali in September 1975 .

Summary: Floyd Mayweather v Manny Pacquiao is now just eight days away . Sportsmail's Jeff Powell has been counting down the greatest fights . In the fifth in a series of 12 fights that shaped boxing history, we have Muhammad Ali v Joe Frazier, the Thrilla in Manila . It was said to have come five years late, much like Mayweather v Pacquiao . Yet those doubting the two greats in their 30s were spectacularly wrong .


North Sea cod stocks are bouncing back after being heavily overfished for decades and could even be sustainable in five years, new research has found. The population was deemed healthy in hundreds of the northern European fisheries analysed and experts say the fish is closer to being certified as a sustainable species. Consumers were previously told to eat gurnard instead of cod after stocks plummeted in the 1980s and 1990s, but the industry has steadily recovered since regulations were put in place in 2006. North Sea cod stocks are on the rise after being heavily overfished and could be sustainable in five years . However the findings by Seafish and the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) revealed that one in nine fisheries operate sustainably, with 400 suffering from serious failings in data management. The exact cod stock figures remain unknown due to a severe lack of scientific data on the number of fish caught every year, according to the Guardian. Dr Tom Pickerell, technical director at industry-funded Seafish, which represents the seafood industry, told the paper he was surprised at how close the North Sea cod is to being certified. He said: 'I would like to think within a decade we will have MSC-certified North Sea cod. I would like to put it closer – where within five years it could look at entering the system.' Cod stocks plummeted in the 1980s and 1990s, but the industry has steadily recovered since regulations were put in place in 2006 . The findings by Seafish and the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) did reveal however that one in nine fisheries operate sustainably, with 400 suffering from serious failings in data management . Although eight out of nine fisheries fell short Dr Pickerell remains optimistic, adding: 'It's a question of glass half full or half empty. Trawling in the North Sea saw catches grow each year until the 1980s, with figures for cod peaking at 300,000 tonnes in the 1970s. Various regulations were put in place to protect the stocks of fish, including limited fishing times and limited numbers of fishing boats. But these rules were never systematically enforced and did not bring much relief. After the UK joined the EU, which introduced the Common Fisheries Policy, the problem of overfishing was steadily brought under control. Numbers fell to below 70,000 tonnes for the first time in 1999 and reached its lowest level of 28,900 tonnes in 2006. A report in 2012 suggested that there were only 100 adult cod, which become more fertile as they age, left in the North Sea. Researchers warned a lower life expectancy meant a lower birth rate and a faster decline. But in 2013 the first signs of recovery started to show as the Marine Stewardship Council recognised cod could be on track for certification. 'We are looking at it as glass half full because we now have an action plan. We would have been in the dark without this research.' The research included 450 inshore fisheries, which were assessed against the criteria set out by the MSC to be considered

Summary: North Sea cod populations are healthy in hundreds of fisheries analysed . Stocks plummeted in 1980s and 1990s but industry has steadily recovered . Research was carried out by Seafish and the Marine Stewardship Council . However it also found only one in nine fisheries are operating sustainably .


Former Sunderland defender Danny Higginbotham has described a controversial speech made by Roy Keane which he calls 'one of the most bizarre team talks I've ever experienced'. Higginbotham and his Black Cats team-mates were about to take on Aston Villa during the 2007-08 Premier League season when Keane sat them down in the home changing room at the Stadium of Light. But instead of encouraging his players to put their poor start to the season behind them, the former Manchester United midfielder delivered an astonishing team talk.

Keane watches his Sunderland players in action against Aston Villa after delivering his 'bizarre' team talk . Danny Higginbotham (right) gave struggling Sunderland the lead during the game on December 15, 2007 . In his new autobiography Rise Of The Underdog: My Life Inside Football, Higginbotham - who scored in Sunderland's 1-1 draw with Villa that day - describes Keane's attempt to motivate his players. '''Listen lads,' he said. 'Basically you're s***. Try and enjoy the game. You're probably going to get beat. But just enjoy being s***." 'Then he just walked out. Those words have got to be insulting to any professional, no matter who they come from, and I'll admit it served as the perfect motivation to get out there and prove him wrong. I scored after 10 minutes and we were leading at half-time. We ended up drawing.' Higginbotham also reveals how Keane once demanded for him to swear at and criticise his team-mates instead of getting behind them.

Keane is now part of Martin O'Neill's backroom staff after leaving his role at Aston Villa earlier this season .

Referring to a talk with Keane, Higginbotham writes: '''Danny, all I'm f****** hearing from you when I'm watching that game yesterday is f****** encouragement. That's all I'm hearing." I thought, well, that's not so bad. "I don't f****** want that. I want you to tell some of them they're being c****. Tell them.''' Despite a 2-0 loss away at Bolton in the season's penultimate game, Sunderland secured their Premier League safety with a match to spare. But although he had helped ensure another year in England's top-flight, Keane was in no mood to praise his players after their defeat against Gary Megson's side. Higginbotham (left) now works as a pundit after hanging up his boots in January, 2014 . Reliving his manager's post-match team talk, Higginbotham writes: '''You're the reason I'm driving up and down the f****** country to find another player, you're not f****** good enough," he yells at one player. '"Your attitude is s***. You're not good enough," he bawls at others. '"Next week we've got our last home game, against Arsenal. You know at the end of the season when you walk around the pitch, thank the fans for their

The UK is to open its first three proton beam therapy centres after cancer-stricken five-year-old Ashya King made a miracle recovery after receiving the treatment. Cardiff-based Proton Partners International Ltd, is to open the treatment centres, which will be available to NHS cancer patients, in Cardiff, London and Northumberland by 2017, with the first in the Welsh capital being operational by next year. The announcement comes just weeks after the parents of brain cancer sufferer Ashya told of how he was given the 'all-clear' after receiving proton bean therapy at a centre in Prague. Scroll down for video . Five-year-old Ashya King, pictured in October, who suffered from brain cancer but has recently been given the all-clear after receiving proton beam therapy . Three centres in the UK in Cardiff, London and Northumberland, are set to open offering proton beam therapy, which Ashya, pictured, received . Both Brett and Naghmeh King sparked an international manhunt last year after taking their son out of hospital in Southampton, without doctors' consent. Mr and Mrs King had wanted their son to have the cutting-edge therapy instead of conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Fearing that Ashya would be taken away from them and given the treatment, the family fled to Spain before travelling to the Czech Republic to the Proton Therapy Centre. Now, a group called Proton Partners International has now been formed in the UK following discussions between Professor Sir Chris Evans, the life sciences entrepreneur and UK life sciences and healthcare investors. They have committed almost £100million equity finance into the company. Professor Gordon McVie, senior consultant at the European Institute of Oncology, has been appointed chairman of the group, and Professor Karol Sikora has agreed to become chief medical adviser to the company, alongside a range of renowned cancer and healthcare experts. Ashya, with his parents Brett and Naghmeh. The Kings defiantly fled to Spain in a bid to get Ashya to the Proton Therapy Centre in Prague and protect him from the devastating side effects of NHS treatment . Professor McVie said: 'This is an exciting and important development of the provision of cancer treatment in the UK. As things stand, patients who benefit from this treatment have to go abroad for treatment, often at great expense to the NHS. 'The creation of these centres will go a long way to ensuring the very best of treatment is available in the UK.' While Sir Chris added: 'We are delighted that the UK's first centre will be based in Cardiff and Wales Life Sciences Investment Fund is proud to support this breakthrough. While conventional radiotherapy uses high energy beams of radiation to destroy cancerous cells, often damaging surrounding tissue, proton beam therapy aims radiation directly at the tumour. Because it is so highly targeted it means it can avoid healthy tissue, particularly tissues and organs behind the tumour. While radiotherapy can lead to side effects such as nausea and can sometimes disrupt how some organs function, proton beam therapy has a lower risk of side effects. This means it is effective for treating cancer

Summary: The three centres are planned for Cardiff, London and Northumberland . They will offer proton beam therapy to private and NHS cancer patients . Hoped the first centre in Cardiff will be up and running by next year . Ashya King, five, made a 'miracle recovery' after receiving the therapy to treat a brain tumour .


Child sexual abuse reports have soared since Operation Yewtree which was sparked by Jimmy Savile's assaulting of dozens of children . Reports of child sex abuse cases have risen by more than 60 per cent in the wake of investigations such as Operation Yewtree and the Rotherham scandal. Figures revealed thousands more people had contacted police with allegations of abuse since 2011, with nearly 9,000 reports filed in 2014. Despite a surge in reports, the number of arrests fell by nine per cent, prompting critics to accuse the Government of failing victims of abuse. Among the forces to see the largest rise in reported cases was South Yorkshire where there was a 577 per cent increase over the last five years. It comes after an estimated 1,400 children were abused in the area over several years, with officials in Rotherham ousted as a result of the scandal having been deemed not fit for purpose. While only 74 cases of child sex abuse were reported to the force in 2011, 501 were investigated in 2014, the figures, obtained via Freedom of Information request by The Guardian, revealed. But while a surge in the number of reports suggested victims felt more comfortable coming forward, a decrease in the number of arrests made prompted critics to accuse police of not doing enough. Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper described the ratio of reported crimes to arrests as a 'national scandal'. 'This isn't a problem from the past. It is a growing problem the Government should be confronting right now. 'Victims of child sex abuse are being let down when alongside a 60 per cent increase in reports there has been a nine per cent drop in arrests for child sex abuse, as well as falling prosecutions and convictions for child abuse offences as the police are unable to keep up.' Shaun Wright, the former Police and Crime Commissioner of South Yorkshire Police, resigned over the force's handling of the Rotherham child abuse scandal . Thames Valley Police made 191 arrests in relation to child sex abuse - up from just 13 in 2011. Campaigners said the rise was indicative of increased awareness of child sexual abuse among the public. 'In recent years there has been a huge increase in awareness of child sexual abuse and it’s good that more people are coming forward,' Alan Wardle, NSPCC head of policy and public affairs, said. Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the figures were a 'national scandal' 'Since the Operation Yewtree police investigation was launched in 2012, the NSPCC helpline has seen a huge rise in the number of victims willing to speak out, get support and help bring abusers to justice. 'In the year after Yewtree was launched there was an 81% increase in calls about sexual abuse to the NSPCC helpline and this surge continues. 'When children take the extremely difficult step of reporting abuse we need to ensure they are properly supported and get the help they need when they are brave enough to give evidence in court.' Operation Yewtree was sparked by revelations made

Summary: Police have seen a surge in number of child sex abuse cases since 2011 . In South Yorkshire the figure rose by 577 per cent over the last four years . Comes after 1,400 children were found to have been abused in Rotherham . Despite the rise in reported cases the number of arrests made decreased . Critics described the ratio of arrests to reports as a 'national scandal'
