My son is ahead of me, his kayak skimming across the slate blue water. A fish jumps. A battalion of cormorants lands on a tree. I pull up my paddle and the air settles around me, as serene as the lake. Then James comes shooting across, spraying me with water as he turns on his paddle. ‘There’s a great beach over there. Let’s swim.’ James is nearly 16, and I’m painfully aware that my years of holidaying with him are coming to a close. My last choices all ended in teenage snits. Then a friend suggested a back-to-nature break in Poland. Unknown: Wigry National Park, in north-east Poland, is the furthest outreach of the Masurian Lakes . Our destination is Wigry National Park, in the north-east of the country, close to the Lithuanian border. It is the furthest outreach of the Masurian Lakes (Poland’s Lake District), and the most sparsely populated. Our base is an unassuming but pristine hotel right on the Wigry lakeshore. The National Park snuggles around it, a mass of primeval forest and waterways that are home to otter and beaver, wolf and elk. The area is unspoiled, but it is also exceedingly well set-up for outdoorsy pursuits. The hotel rents mountain bikes and Nordic walking poles, and you could cycle or hike for days around the well-marked trails. Come and discover: The area is unspoiled, but it is also exceedingly well set-up for outdoor pursuits . Or you can take to the water. Whichever way you turn, there is another beach, another jetty, another twisting corner of Wigry — the name means ‘winding’ — and it has the longest and most meandering shoreline of all of Poland’s lakes. The food is solid, verging on stolid, big piles of comfort stacked high and priced low — a lightweight £3 a plate. We need the calories, with the amount of exercise we are notching up. We cycle through the forest, keeping a hopeful eye out for wildlife. But we are too noisy, what with our clanking gears and my muffled grunts as I hit yet another tree root. A holiday of an old-fashioned kind: Jane found a refreshing simplicity to this pretty corner of Poland . It is all so wholesome that, as we sit by another pristine lake, watching the sun dip down, I find myself singing old campfire songs as James takes another swim. The place has somehow transported me back to my own teens, to a time when holidays did not need to be sophisticated. ‘You know what? I’ve loved this holiday,’ says James, as we sit for the last time on the hotel jetty, sharing a bar of chocolate and watching the stars. I can’t argue. ‘Me too,’ I tell him. A wealth of water and wow factor: Jane chose the region for an active holiday with her teenage son . Ryanair (0871 246 0000, www.ryanair.com) flies from Stansted to Kaunas from £49 return. Double rooms at the Hotel nad Wigrami, Gawrych Ruda (0048 87 563 59 59, www.hotelnadwigrami.pl) cost from £50 per night B&B. Mountain

Summary: Poland's cities are tourism favourites - but its Lake District is less known . Wigry National Park, in the north-east, is one of Poland's prettiest areas . Encompassing part of the Masurian Lakes, it is great for family breaks .

A German man who had his penis enlarged with silicone injections claims it now weighs half a stone. Micha Stunz, has a 9 inch-long, 3.5 inch penis that now weighs between 7.5 – 9.5lbs, between 3 and 4.3kg, he says. ‘I can’t say exactly how much it weighs, I just know that my kitchen scale, which shows up to 6.6lb, hasn’t been enough for a while,’ he told Vice.com. Mr Stunz, 45, who lives in Berlin, said he had his penis permanently enlarged in this way, not because it makes him feel more beautiful, but because it makes him feel ‘better’. Micha Stunz, 45, has permanently enlarged his penis with silicone injections. It is now 9 inches long and weighs up to 9.5lbs (4.3kg), he claims . He uses his satchel to cover up his groin area when he is in public. ‘I’m actually a pretty shy person,’ he said . Curiously, the silicone implants provide no physical pleasure and actually make sex much more difficult for him - although it is not impossible. He cannot get a normal erection – and any increase in size is not visible due to all the silicone. But although his giant penis restricts his sex life, he says it makes him more creative in the bedroom. He told Vice: ‘After you reach a certain size, you can't do certain things any more. ‘At least not with everyone and not without some foreplay. But there are other things you can do with it. You just have to free yourself from established roles and ideas about sex and be ready to play.’ Mr Stunz’s interest in penis modification 20 years ago, when he was given a pump as a present. ‘I was way too curious not to try it out. First, I tried it secretly for myself,’ he said. ‘And I found that when I went out pumped up, it was a good feeling, it felt great.’ Mr Stunz's interest in penis modifications were piqued when he was given a penis pump at 20-years-old and found it felt 'great'. He moved on to saline injections before opting for the more permanent silicone ones . ‘I had the feeling that I wasn't trapped in the body I was born with, but that I had the possibility to shape it myself to change it.’ He then began enlarging himself with saline injections. ‘The feeling was great,’ he said, ‘but I didn't like getting the injections- there's always a risk of infection. ‘And also the people around me started to wonder why my groin area would change in size. ‘That's why I started looking for something more permanent.’ It took him several years to find out about silicone injections, which were only available in London when he first began researching them. However, rather than seeking professional medical help, he met a medical student who agreed to perform the first injections. To date, Mr Stunz has had four procedures which involved injecting silicone into his penis and scrotum. However, Dr Aref el Seweife, a urologist in Berlin who carries out penis

Summary: Micha Stunz, has enhanced his penis with several silicone injections . It is 9 inches long, 3.5 inches wide and weighs up to 9.5lbs (4.3kg), he says . The size of his manhood makes sex difficult, although it is not impossible . He worries that future partners might only love him for his body .


Standing isolated surrounded by the vast, golden north Saudi Arabian desert is a bizarre single rock castle, which has been lying undisturbed for centuries. Qasr al-Farid or 'The Lonely Castle' has a sad tale, standing incomplete and abandoned, looking out of place in the vast, barren landscape. Believed to be constructed in the first century A.D. and situated on one of the most important ancient trade routes, linking the north and south of the Arabian peninsula, the mysterious monument was never finished. Scroll down for video . Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ancient remains of Qasr al-Farid - a rock-cut tomb and part of an ancient Nabatean settlement - stands amidst imposing cliffs and striking rocky outcrop . The Nabatean Tomb in Madain Saleh is located in the northwestern region of the Arabian peninsula, in the middle of a vast desert landscape . Size matters! The striking structure is the largest of the 131 tombs in the area, hinting it was intended for someone of great power . Despite its misleading name, the fascinating four-storey monument was actually used as a tomb. It's intricate carving borrows decorative elements from Egyptian, Hellenistic, and Assyrian architecture. The tomb is the largest of 131 monumental tombs, which were carved straight into rock in the city of Mada'in Saleh during the pinnacle of Nabatean era. And it is famous for standing completely alone. Size would have been indicative of the person's social status and wealth, hinting it was intended for someone of power. It is remarkable how The Lonely Castle has remained so preserved against the elements for over 1,900 years and this can be attributed to the dry climate. Situated on a pre-Islamic archaeological site located in Al-Ula, is located on one of the major trading sites, which linked the south of the Arabian peninsula to the north. Unesco declared the magnificent historic collection Saudi Arabia's first World Heritage site in 2008. Nabataeans constructed their massive stone buildings mainly from single pieces of sandstone, and carved from the top down . If the smooth stone reminds you of the iconic carved site of Petra in Jordan, it should come as no surprise to learn they are linked. Petra was the capital of the Nabataean kingdom and features a 250-foot-high sandstone slot canyon known as the Siq. Until 1812, the site was unknown to the western world until it was introduced by explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. While Petra was the capital of the Nabatean kingdom, Mada'in Saleh was its second city, explaining why the unusual carved rock architecture is so similar. Petra in Jordan was the capital of the Nabatean Kingdom. It displays similar architecture design to Qasr al-Farid, being carved out of a single stone body. It is sometimes known as the Rose City due to the color of the stone . Impressive collection! Another Saudi Arabian Nabatean tomb, Qasr al-Bint, has been perfectly preserved in the dry climate. UNESCO declared the historic series of tombs Saudi Arabia's first World Heritage site in 2008 .

Summary: Qasr al-Farid or 'The Lonely Castle' has been standing strong since the first century AD . The single-rock tomb is incomplete and abandoned, but fascinatingly reveals structures were carved from top down . The striking castle is one of 131 tombs from the Nabatean Kingdom, located in the Al-Ula sector .


Teenage Aldi worker Christian Trousedale became an internet hit after a picture of him carrying a 95-year-old pensioner's shopping home went viral . A teenage Aldi worker says he is 'blown away' by the public reaction after a picture of him carrying a 95-year-old pensioner's shopping home went viral. Christian Trousedale, 18, walked the elderly man to his front door, holding his hand as they made their way to his home in Horwich, near Bolton. His act of kindness was seen by Samantha-Jayne Brady, who stopped them to take a picture which she then posted on Facebook. The picture of Mr Trousedale and the pensioner has been 'liked' a quarter of a million times and shared by 70,000 people. It's attracted attention from all over the world, with more than 50,000 shares in Dubai, Australia, the United States and elsewhere. Christian said he was 'blown away' by the reaction to an act of kindness that was 'just something I would normally do'. He added: 'The reaction has been completely crazy, my facebook is just overflowing with messages, I can't even start to read them all. 'One woman posted on my wall from America saying that she wished there were more people in her country like me, it has been really amazing. 'I went back into Aldi this afternoon and a lady came up and hugged me and said she loved what I had done.' Christian had spotted the 96-year-old about to make the journey alone and on foot in strong winds so asked his superiors if he could offer some help. Mr Trousedale, a college student who works part-time as a stock assistant at the supermarket, told the Bolton News that he did not consider his actions extraordinary, and that he had been brought up to respect his elders. He said: 'I asked my manager if it was OK to walk him home and he said that was the right thing to do, so I did. 'We had a good chat about everything from the General Election to the history of Horwich - he knew lots about everything.' 'It is very strange because this is just something I would normally do, my parents have raised me to treat other people like you want to be treated yourself,' he said. The picture of Mr Trousedale and the pensioner has been 'liked' a quarter of a million times and shared by 70,000 people . Onlooker Miss Brady, who works in a fish and chip shop near the supermarket, said she posted the picture because she was taken aback by Christian's 'selfless, thoughtful and caring gesture'. She wrote: 'Need to share this, whilst working earlier we watched this lovely lad walking this little old man home. 'He wasn't very agile, nor fast but Christian walked with him ever so patiently and slowly, chatted along with him and carried his bag for him. 'It was a lovely thing to witness and they seemed to be having a good chit-chat along their way. 'High 5 to Aldi for letting him do this and high 5 to Christian

Fighter pilots flying the deadly F-35 Lightning II jet have very special secret weapon - a $400,000 helmet that allows them to see through the plane. Six infrared cameras mounted around the aircraft allow its pilots to 'look through' the air-frame, giving them a perfect 360 degree view of their surroundings and enemies. And all of the information they need to complete their mission - airspeed, altitude and even warnings systems - are projected straight onto the helmet's visor rather than the traditional 'heads-up display'. Scroll down for videos . High-tech: The F-35 jet's $400,000 helmet (pictured) gives the pilot a 360 degree view around their aircraft and even allows them to see through its frame . Complex: The six infrared cameras placed around the plane means that when the pilot looks down, they see the world below them in their visor . Problems: Its staggering $400,000 price tag is millions more than the original budget because of problems in its development . Destructive: The F-35 Lightning II is considered one of the most complex pieces of weaponry ever and is programmed with 8 million lines of software code, compared to an F-22 Raptor's 1.7 million . 'When the helmet's tuned correctly to the pilot's eyes, you almost step into this other world where all this information comes in,' a test pilot for the Lockhead Martin, the plane's prime contractor told the Washington Post. Al Norman added: 'You can look through the jet's eyeballs to see the world as the jet sees the world.' Like the jet - which is estimated to cost around $1.5trillion to develop over the next 50 years - the helmet is incredibly expensive. Each custom-made piece of high-tech headgear costs nearly half a million dollars, which is reportedly millions over its original budget due to development problems. Earlier versions of the helmet did not deal well with turbulence and there was a delay in the state-of-the-art video system which caused motion sickness, the Washington Post reports. There was also a green glow in the night vision function that obscured the pilots' vision and in 2011, the Pentagon allegedly hired BAE Systems to build a backup. The F-35 Lightning II has what is considered to be 'one of the most complicated weapons systems ever'. Whereas a fighter jet like the F-22 Raptor is programmed with around 1.7 million lines of software code, the F-35 has up to a staggering 8 million. It comes in three versions, including one that is designed to take off and land on an aircraft carrier and another that lands vertically like a harrier jet. Trouble: Earlier versions of the helmet did not deal well with turbulence and there was a delay in the state-of-the-art video system which caused motion sickness . State-of-the-art: The information which would usually be on the 'heads-up display' - airspeed, altitude and even warnings systems - is projected straight onto the helmet's visor . Joint attack: The helmet is so advanced that it allows pilots to share information with other F-35 jets nearby . Military force: The U.S. government

Summary: Six infrared cameras around the jet give pilots a complete 360 degree view . Its price tag is millions over original budget due to development problems . State-of-the-art helmet allows pilot to share information with nearby F-35s . F-35 Lightning II one of the most complicated weapons systems ever built . Programmed with over 8 million lines of code, four times more than F-22 .


When these villagers in China spent £1,000 and hours of hard labour digging a new well, the least they expected was some fresh drinking water. But they were left disappointed after pumping the liquid to the surface, only to discover it was so polluted that they could set it on fire. Residents of Ansai, in Shaanxi Province, central China, said they could smell gas and petrol coming from the well, and blame a leak from a local petrol station, The People's Daily Online reports. Villagers in Ansai, Shaanxi Province, in central China, dug a 46m well in order to get fresh drinking water, but when the pumped it to the surface the found it was so polluted it could be set on fire . Local officials say they have now launched an investigation into how the water from the well, which cost £1,000 to build, became so polluted . Locals said they could smell petrol when the water surfaced, and blame the pollution on a leak from a local gas petrol station, a claim which the owner denies . However, when Chinese officials investigated, they said they could find no trace of a spillage, leading some people to theorise that the villagers could have struck oil. However this is highly unlikely, as oil deposits only occur between 750 and 4,500m underground, and the well is only 46m deep. Tuo Zhijun, a villager in Ansai, said: 'Who knew when we turned on the pump, once the water was seeping through, everyone could smell gas and see oil slick.' Some locals have suggested that the lucky villager may have struck oil, but this is highly unlikely, as oil deposits typically occur between 750 and 4,5000m underground, and the well is only 46m deep . After drawing the first fresh water out of their new well, the villagers discovered they were able to set it on fire because it was so polluted . Local officials do not yet know exactly what substance is in the water, though they say they are conducting a specific investigation to discover the cause . ‘We suspect that there was an oil leak from a petrol station not far from here.’ However, Li Jianhua, the manager of the petrol station, refuted these claims, saying: ‘The authorities have already examined the place and nothing was wrong. 'There has not been any problems with the well in the petrol station either.' Local government officials in Ansai say they have already started a specific investigation. Intrigued locals take pictures of the flaming water near the site of the new well in Ansai, central China .

Summary: Villagers in Ansai, central China, spent £1,000 digging new 46m well . But when they pumped water to surface they said they could smell petrol . Discovered that the water is so badly polluted that it can be set on fire . Blamed leak at local petrol station, but owner has denied he is to blame .


Manchester United have identified Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan as the leading contender to fill Michael Carrick's midfield role. United are eyeing a £20.5million deal for the central midfielder, and reports emanating from Germany on Friday indicated a deal is now close - though those claims were later denied. United will seek to sign Carrick's successor this summer as part of another huge spending frenzy. Manchester United are closing in on a deal to sign Borussia Dortmund ace Ilkay Gundogan . Gundogan vies for the ball with Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal in the Champions League . Dortmund's ball-playing midfielder Gundogan has been watched extensively by United and has emerged as their primary target. Van Gaal has an intrinsic knowledge of the Bundesliga and believes the 24-year-old has the ability to take over from Carrick on a long-term basis. Carrick, who recently signed a new 12 month extension, will continue to be part of Van Gaal's plans next season - but the club are planning for life without him. Louis van Gaal believes the midfielder is the perfect replacement for current midfielder Michael Carrick . Van Gaal has been hugely impressed with Carrick's contribution at Old Trafford this season. The England international's passing range and ability to dictate the pace of a match has been a key feature for United this season. But at the age of 33, the Dutchman knows the midfielder is in the twilight of his career, while the amount of time Carrick has spent injured this season is also a worry. Gundogan vies for the ball with Hannover ace Horoshi Kiyotake at Signal Iduna Park .

Summary: Louis van Gaal is closing in on a deal for midfielder Ilkay Gundogan . Manchester United have agreed £20.5million fee with Borussia Dortmund . Germany international has scored nine goals in 75 games for Dortmund . Arsenal were also linked with a move for the 24-year-old midfielder .


A new model for HIV progression shows that it spreads in a similar way to some computer 'worms'. HIV specialists and network security experts at University College London (UCL) made the disovery after creating a simulation of how the virus spreads . They worked together to build a model for this 'hybrid spreading' which accurately predicted patients' progression from HIV to AIDS in a major clinical trial - and say early treatment is key to staving off AIDS. Scroll down for video . Researchers creates a model 'hybrid spreading' which accurately predicted patients' progression from HIV to AIDS in a major clinical trial - and say the spread was similar to a computer virus . HIV infects CD4+ T-cells, which play a vital role in the immune system and protect us from diseases. As HIV progresses, it reduces the number of active T-cells in the body until the immune system cannot function correctly, a state known as 'acquired immune deficiency syndrome' or AIDS. Current World Health Organisation guidelines, which the UK government follows, recommend only beginning HIV treatment when the number of T-cells in the bloodstream falls below a certain level. However, the new model predicts that treatment should start as soon as possible after infection to prevent AIDS from developing in the long term. The teams noticed that the spread of HIV through the body using two methods - via the bloodstream and directly between cells - was similar to how some computer worms spread through both the internet and local networks respectively to infect as many computers as possible. The model was inspired by similarities between HIV and computer worms such as the highly damaging 'Conficker' worm, first detected in 2008, which has infected military and police computer networks across Europe and is still active today. Lead author Changwang Zhang, of UCL, said: 'HIV and Conficker have a lot in common. 'They both use hybrid spreading mechanisms, persist for a very long time and are incredibly difficult to eradicate. 'Our model enables us to explain these important properties and to predict the infection process.' Changwang's supervisor co-author Dr Shi Zhou said: 'Although the cybersecurity community organised an unprecedented collaboration to tackle Conficker, they still failed to eliminate Conficker from the Internet. 'HIV researchers face a similar problem. We hope that our new understanding of hybrid epidemics will help us to fight against Conficker and HIV.' Detailed sample data from 17 HIV patients from London were used to verify the model, showing that hybrid spreading provides the best explanation for HIV progression and highlighting the benefits of early treatment.

More than 250 million emergency calls are made each year but two thirds have inaccurate location information, resulting in an estimated 10,000 deaths. To make this process easier, developers in Boston have worked with global emergency response teams to create its One-Touch-911 app. Users can call the police, fire service, report a car crash or seek medical help at the press of a button - and it works even if you don't have signal. Developers in Boston have worked with global emergency response teams to create its One-Touch-911 app (pictured). Users can call the police, fire service, report a car crash or seek medical help at the press of a single button - and it works even if the user doesn't have signal . The app was designed by researchers at Boston-based MIT. Each of the four buttons on the app trigger a standard call to nearby dispatchers, and each call is placed with the phone's GPS location, user details and any pre-entered medical information attached. If the user doesn't have signal on their network, the app lets them 'roam' onto another network to connect the call. This is a feature built into most phones already.

Ed Miliband's claim to crackdown on the super-rich unravelled today after it emerged Ed Balls has warned the idea of scrapping non-dom rules would cost the country money. The Labour leader used a speech to say he will 'abolish' the 200-year-old rule for non-doms, which applies to around 116,000 people, claiming they make Britain an 'offshore tax haven for a few' and can 'no longer be justified'. But in January Mr Balls, the shadow chancellor, said: 'I think if you abolished the whole status then probably it ends up costing Britain money because there will be some people who will then leave the country.' Scroll down for video . Ed Miliband has pledged to scrap the controversial 'non-dom' status which allows millionaires to reduce their tax bil . The Labour leader visited Cheswick's Coffee shop in Rowley Regis in the West Midlands this afternoon . Mr Miliband argues that non-dom tests 'are not very rigorous' and can be granted to people who have a burial plot or property abroad . Non-domicile status allows people living and working in Britain to only pay tax on their UK income, but not earnings from overseas. They must prove that they regard a foreign country as their real home. But Mr Miliband argues that non-dom tests 'are not very rigorous' and can be granted to people who have a burial plot or property abroad. In a speech in Warwick today, Mr Miliband said that everyone who has made Britain their permanent home should pay full UK tax on all their income and gains. He pledged to abolish the non-dom status from April 2016. He told an audience at the University of Warwick: 'Why should there be one rule for some and another for everybody else? 'It is not fair. It is not just. It holds Britain back. We will stop it. The next Labour government will abolish the non-dom rule. 'And we will replace it with a clear principle: Anyone permanently resident in the UK will pay tax in the same way. 'The rules we will introduce are modelled on what other countries do. Real temporary residents, here for a brief period, will only have to pay tax on what they earn here . 'Because they will be paying their taxes in their place of permanent residence. But everyone else will have to pay tax on their worldwide income.' The status, which is unique to the UK having been introduced by William Pitt the Younger in the late 18th century, is used by more than 110,000 wealthy people. In January shadow chancellor Ed Balls warned: 'I think if you abolished the whole status then probably it ends up costing Britain money because there will be some people who will then leave the country.' Mr Miliband said non-dom status results from a discredited belief that 'anything goes for those at the top and that what is good for the rich is always good for Britain'. He added: 'There are people who live here in Britain like you and me, work here in Britain, are permanently settled here

Summary: Ed Miliband will today pledge to scrap the controversial 'non-dom' status . The rule allows Britain's richest to avoid UK tax on their worldwide income . Labour will claim it's open to abuse and offends the moral basis of taxation . But critics will say it is another example of Labour's anti-business agenda .


Nigel Farage has admitted that he has a 'preference' for Australian immigrants over Eastern Europeans and Somalians. The Ukip leader said he had to 'confess' that he was happier accepting migrants from Commonwealth countries such as Australian and India because they could speak English and understood Britain's legal system. The controversial remarks come after Mr Farage demanded that refugees fleeing to Europe across the Mediterranean are sent back. Scroll down for video . Nigel Farage, speaking to BBC Newsnight, admitted that he has a 'preference' for Australian immigrants over Eastern Europeans and Somalians . Mr Farage, who has also admitted today that he went 'a bit wonky' and made mistakes at the start of Ukip's election campaign, was asked on BBC Newsnight whether he was anti all immigration or preferred some foreigners to others. The BBC presenter Evan Davis asked: 'Let's suppose one from Mogadishu with the same skills, the same ability to speak English, but not as a first language from one from Melbourne do you have a preference?' Mr Farage said: 'I have to confess I do have a slight preference. I do think, naturally that people from India and Australia are in some ways more likely to speak English, understand common law and have a connection with this country that some people that come perhaps from countries that haven't fully recovered from being behind the Iron Curtain.' The remarks are the latest in a series of pointed interventions Mr Farage has made on the issue of immigration. During the live leaders' TV debates Mr Farage said the NHS should not be treating foreigners with HIV. Speaking to the BBC tonight, Mr Farage admitted that he purposely ramped up the rhetoric to 'wake people up'. He said: 'Sometimes have to say things in a way to get noticed, of that there's no question. 'In order to get the public aware of some of these issues perhaps at time that tone had to be used. But you are not you are not hearing, and you're interviewing me now as we approach a general election, you are not hearing that tone from me.' The Ukip leader's remarks are the latest in a series of pointed interventions Mr Farage has made on the issue of immigration . Ukip has fallen behind the Tories and Labour in a poll of 10 target constituencies, according to a ComRes poll for ITV News . Earlier Mr Farage admitted that he had 'made some mistakes' in the campaign insisted he was looking forward to the rest of the campaign and had 'a bit of the old vim and vigour back'. Speaking to Channel 4 News tonight he said: 'I started the campaign and think I make some mistakes. 'My desperation for Ukip to do well meant that I really packed the diary and the day in a way that frankly wasn't very bright. I have now trimmed it back a bit. I'm being a bit more selective.' Asked if he was 'exhausted' he said: 'No, I'm now actually rejuvenated and enjoying it again.' Nigel Farage told ITV's

Mr Farage also accepted that he used explosive language to get noticed .


Hundreds of passengers on a New York City subway train were evacuated from cars in an underwater tunnel after a fire during the Monday morning commute. A train heading from Queens into Manhattan was stalled underneath the East River around 8.30am Monday morning and its conductor saw smoke coming from the board along the track's third rail. The train's 542 passengers were taken by a rescue train to Grand Central Station in Manhattan, an MTA spokesman told Daily Mail Online. Scroll down for video . Service on a New York City subway line (pictured) was suspended for almost two hours after smoke in an underwater tunnel left hundreds of passengers stuck beneath the East River . More than 500 passengers were taken to Manhattan after spending roughly an hour and a half trapped. They walked through their stalled train into a rescue train and left around 10am . Part of the train's contact shoe, which gets power from the third rail, is thought to have touched the board instead of the rail, sparking the incident that left service on the 7 train suspended for just less than two hours. The last of the passengers were taken on to the new train around 10am, according to AMNY. No injuries were reported beyond a woman who felt faint and requested medical attention. The MTA has warned passengers to expect delays on other lines such as the N,Q, and R. More than 500 passengers were taken to Manhattan after spending roughly an hour and a half trapped beneath the East River. Above, firefighters seen at Grand Central Station . Commuters faced delays and crowds of people as they tried to travel from Queens into Manhattan. Service resumed around 10.30am after the incident, believed to be caused by a train's conduct with a safety board . Commuters trips on the 7 line were disrupted, with some taking unusual transport methods such as boats to get to work. Residents of Queens have recently complained about what they view as particularly poor service on the 7, which goes through the heart of their borough. A rally was held last month calling for less delays on the line after a winter of outages, according to DNA Info.

Millions of petrol and diesel engine cars would be banned from the road within 25 years under Liberal Democrat plans. Only ultra low emission vehicles and electric cars would be allowed in the UK in 2040 under the proposal. Normal petrol and diesel engines which make up the vast majority of all motor vehicles would be barred. Scroll down for video . Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg takes a short break from campaigning and takes part in Go Ape Haldon Forest Park near Exeter today . Mr Clegg thanked 'Go Ape' for having him this afternoon. He said it was 'healthy and active fun after being on the battle bus for so long' As part of its 'green' efforts, the party today announced a £100million 'prize' for car companies who build the first ultra low emission vehicle. Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg said he wanted to tackle 'dangerous levels of air pollution' which cut average life expectancy by up to eight months. He used a visit to Dymag, a specialist manufacturer of high performance racing wheels in Chippenham, Wiltshire, to highlight the plan to encourage greener motoring. To win the money, firms would have to create a family car which breaks into the top five in UK sales and have ultra low emissions (Ulev). A Ulev is defined as a vehicle which has CO2 emissions of below 75g/km, far cleaner than the current 128.3g/km average for new cars. On current trends, becoming one of the five best selling cars in the UK would require sales of around 60,000. Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg used a visit to Dymag, a specialist manufacturer of high performance racing wheels in Chippenham, Wiltshire, to highlight the plan to encourage greener motoring . Mr Clegg was joined by local Lib Dem candidate Duncan Hames, who was a ministerial aide to the Deputy PM . Mr Clegg said he wanted to tackle 'dangerous levels of air pollution' which cut average life expectancy by up to eight months . Mr Clegg said: 'For the first time since the 1970s, Britain now sells more cars than it buys thanks to Vince Cable and the Liberal Democrats being in the driving seat at the Department for Business. 'However, we need to go further and faster in making Britain a world leader in low emission vehicles by providing the right incentives and infrastructure to attract green investment and green jobs. 'This isn't just about re-balancing the economy, it's also about tackling dangerous levels of air pollution that reduce average life expectancy by up to eight months. 'Our Liberal Democrat £100 million prize fund will spark a low emission car revolution in Britain and help to build a stronger and greener economy for years to come.' A party source said the prize would 'turbocharge the technology' already being developed by manufacturers, incentivising them to bring models to market that would be affordable enough to become a best-seller. The party indicated that it expected a successful model would cost around £10,000 to £15,000 and would result in lower running costs for consumers.

Summary: Lib Dems want only ultra low emission vehicles and electric cars from 2040 . Clegg says he wanted to tackle 'dangerous levels of air pollution' in cities . Launches £100million 'prize' for firms who build first ultra low emission car .


Vaccine critic: Robert F Kennedy Jr spoke at a documentary screening in Sacramento, California on Tuesday. The son of the late Attorney General Robert Kennedy is a vaccine critic and is currently trying to stop a bill in the state that would make childhood immunizations mandatory . Robert F Kennedy Jr sparked controversy Tuesday when he compared childhood vaccinations to a holocaust. At a screening of the documentary Trace Amounts, the nephew of President John F Kennedy spoke out against a proposed bill in California which would make childhood immunizations mandatory - no matter what their parent's personal beliefs on the vaccines. The documentary purports that there is a connection between thimerosal - a chemical found in several childhood vaccines - and a rise in autism among American children - despite the majority of the scientific community dismissing any connection. 'They can put anything they want in that vaccine and they have no accountability for it,' Kennedy said of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at the Crest Theater stage in Sacramento. 'They get the shot, that night they have a fever of a hundred and three, they go to sleep, and three months later their brain is gone. This is a holocaust, what this is doing to our country,' Kennedy added. Kennedy said that the documentary helped convince lawmakers in Oregon stop a similar measure in that state, and was hoping it would have a similar effect in California. Anti-vaccine advocates delivered free tickets to the screening to every California lawmaker on Monday, and cordoned off three rows in the theater for them on Tuesday that remained empty. Unpopular opinion: The film screened on Tuesday purports that there is a connection between the vaccine chemical thimerosal and autism, though it is a theory the scientific community has mostly dismissed . Advocate: Kennedy speaks with audience members at the Crest Theater in Sacramento on Tuesday . Senate Bill 277 was scheduled to have its first hearing Wednesday in front of the Senate Health Committee. If passed, the law will remove an exemption in the vaccination law that currently allows parents to cite personal beliefs in not vaccinating their children. The anti-vaccination movement has been sweeping the country, and with more parents refusing common immunizations, many long-dormant illnesses like measles and whooping cough are breaking out in schools. Senator Richard Pan, a Democrat from Sacramento and a pediatrician, called Kennedy's endorsement of the anti-vaccine cause as dangerous. 'I think it is dangerous that he is spreading misinformation about something that’s very important for public health,' Senator Pan told the Sacramento Bee. 'Autism rates have continued to rise even though we are not using thimerosal in vaccines for children. We still haven’t figured out exactly what causes autism. We do know it’s not vaccines.'

Summary: The nephew of President John F Kennedy attended the screening of a anti-vaccination documentary Tuesday in Sacramento, California . The California State Legislature is currently deciding a bill that would make vaccinations mandatory for all children - no matter their parents' beliefs . RFK Jr is a vaccine skeptic and believes there is a connection between an immunization chemical called thimerosal and autism . The scientific community at large says vaccines are not dangerous .


From bear testicles and tiger paws to crocodile jaws and snake heads, these are just some of the bizarre animal parts being sold in China's so-called medicine markets. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) claims all manner of ailments including back ache, poor memory and even cancer can be cured by the natural world. It is often believed that the more endangered the animal is, the greater the healing affect it will have. Such wisdom is widespread in Guangzhou, where markets stock exotic and rare animals destined for restaurant menus, pharmacists and pet cages. However, a movement of fledgling organisations such as the South China Nature Society, run by student conservationists, is challenging centuries of tradition by trying to change consumer appetites in the country. Snapped up: Customers purchase a Crocodile Head at Hunagsha market. The head is commonly used in soups. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is believed that crocodile meat can treat lung illnesses and improve memory . Jaws-dropping: A selection of shark fins for sale at Haizu mjarket. A single great white shark fin can fetch up to $1,000 (£700) Unappetising: A bear penis and testicles for sale at Qingping market. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is considered to be a potent aphrodisiac. With a history of more than 2,000 years, TCM has acquired a list in excess of 1,500 animals, many of which are endangered . Sensitive issue: A tiger penis, which is considered to be a potent aphrodisiac, for sale at Qingping market. China's appetite for endangered wildlife and the 2,000-year practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine is the main catalyst behind the world's third-largest illicit trade . Guangzhou is the richest and most powerful city in southern China, with a keen taste for exotic animals and plants, seen as extreme even in other regions of China. The main reason for this is 2,000-year-old Traditional Chinese Medicine that lists curative qualities in thousands of rare and exotic animals, such as the Sumatran Tiger. The pursuit of these traditions is the driving force behind the $20 billion (£13bn) illegal wildlife network, the worlds third largest elicit trade, surpassed only by arms and drugs. The network activity intensifies in South East Asia home to rich biodiversity, well developed transport infrastructures, high profit margins and lax law enforcement, a haven for wildlife smugglers. Vietnamese authorities recently seized a record haul of smuggled wildlife including two tons of tiger bones, bear paws and gall bladders.

There can't always be a TV camera rolling when the big news happens - and Saturday Night Live has taken network news to task for how they paper over the cracks. The NBC sketch show parodied the daytime CNN Newsroom, which turned into a series of let-downs when it emerged there was no footage for the stories they were covering. But the ingenious producers for the skit managed to cover up with abysmal animations to illustrate the Germanwings crash, U.S.-Iran diplomacy, and domestic politics. Scroll down for video . Cutting edge: SNL writers joked that CNN's animations look like they belong in 1985. Above was 'their impression' of what the doomed pilot of the crashed Germanwings jet may have looked like trying to get into the cockpit . Real thing: Above is an actual animation CNN aired to illustrate the pilot not being able to get back in . An informative graphic of a man opening a door, and a producer's image of what the doomed pilot going to the bathroom may have looked like graced the screens, mocking their coverage of the tragedy. It was seemingly inspired by a much-derided, clunky animation of a man hammering on a cockpit door. Cecily Strong, playing anchor Brooke Baldwin, introduced a badly-animated hand grasping at a doorknob. A reporter then chimed in: 'We were lucky to get the same team who did the Dire Straits Money for Nothing music video in 1985.' The problems continued when CNN was unable to get a fly-on-the-wall view of Iran's nuclear negotiations - and went for a puppet show instead. Bobby Moynihan, playing a reporter on the ground, explained by saying: 'We couldn't get any footage from the actual negotiations - but once again CNN has the next best thing'. 'Next best thing': For its next story, CNN had no footage of the Iran nuclear animations, so went with Muppets-style puppets . Absurd: The network was imagined providing imagery for coverage of Indiana's religious freedom law through the medium of interpretative dance . Viewers were confronted with four Muppets-style puppets, including one representing John Kerry. A handshake to celebrate a deal being struck quickly escalated, with the Secretary of State sharing a passionate kiss with a U.S. diplomat. The theater of the absurd peaked when the network admitted it hadn't bothered to send anybody to Indiana to cover the controversial religious freedom law there - so demonstrated with an interpretative dance instead. They later added in 'random commentary' from Don Lemon, played by Michael Che, which consisted of the anchor repeating 'black people need to pull up their pants.' Then segment received a rapturous response on social media, with dozens of fans tweeting their appreciation. Against the grain: Donald Trump spoke out against the skit, which he said was insensitive . Even some CNN personnel enjoyed the ribbing. Brenna Williams, an associate producer at the network, said in response to the Iran sketch: 'Don't be surprised if I pitch a puppet politics piece on Monday' However, one high-profile dissenter was Donald Trump, who called laughing at the air

Summary: Sketch mocked network's coverage of air disaster and other major stories . Brooke Baldwin stand-in admitted network had no actual footage of news . Instead played awful 80s CGI recreation of inside of doomed passenger jet . Illustrated Iran nuclear talks with puppets, and danced out controversial Indiana religious freedom law with Don Lemon chiming in . Audience - including a CNN producer - tweeted their amusement .


They were once sprawling palace compounds that were used to intimidate and strike fear into the hearts of Libyans. Now the homes and residences of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi have been reduced to rubble - and even used as pet markets to sell birds and dogs. Four years after the 2011 revolution that saw Colonel Gaddafi's hold on Libya crumbled, the once feared Bab al-Aziziya compound, situated in the capital city of Tripoli, resembles a wasteland. Scroll down for video . Colonel Muammar Gaddafi stands with his wife and children near Bab al-Azizia palace in November 1986, before it was left in ruins by air raids . Reduced the rubble: The former Bab al-Aziziya palace, which boasted a zoo, fairground and pool, now lies in a derelict state . During his rule, Libyans would be nervous just walking anywhere near the fortress-like seat of the Gaddafi regime. The dictator ruled for almost 42 years, after he took control in a coup d'etat in 1969. Following an uprising as part of the Arab Spring in 2011 and ensuing civil war, he was hounded out of Tripoli and killed by members of the National Transitional Council. Speaking about life before the uprising, Tripoli taxi driver Hassan said people feared to go near the Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli. 'People were afraid even to look at the walls, for fear of being arrested,' he said. All that remains of the palace, which had been hit in a 1986 US air strike before being pounded by NATO four years ago, are a few ruined buildings, the green flooring of Gaddafi's home and a dug-up network of underground tunnels. Then: A mural of a smiling Colonel Gaddafi was painted on the side of the Bab al-Aziziya palace, but was a symbol of fear and terror to Libyans . Growing up Gaddafi's children enjoyed their own fairground within the palace in Tripoli - yet millions of Libyan people suffered under his reign . Now: The palace has lain in ruin for almost four years, after it was hastily bulldozed by rebels once they took control of it in 2011 . Nowadays, only shabby outbuildings are left on the palace grounds, covered in graffiti and revolutionary slogans, while holes leading to a network of underground tunnels that once ran under the stronghold can still be accessed . The monument of a gold-coloured fist clenching a US fighter plane was vandalised and sent off to Misrata, a rebel bastion during the revolt which ousted and killed Gaddafi. At a safe distance from his people, Gaddafi lived behind fortified walls with his wife, their children, close advisers and guards. Apart from the bedouin tents on which Gaddafi prided himself and which accommodated him on travels abroad, the compound once showcased a zoo, an indoor pool, countless murals and a fairground in its gardens. Rebels posted for photos in a foreign dignitaries reception room at Bab al-Aziziya when they stormed the building in 2011 . The rebels later bulldozed the palace - but the green flooring from Gaddafi's home is still visible in

Summary: Opulent palace in Tripoli - which once had a zoo, fairground and pool - was razed to the ground during revolution . Libyans were 'even afraid to look at walls of palace', for fear of being arrested while Gaddafi was in power . Now his former strongholds lie in ruin, after civil war which devastated country and saw Gaddafi killed by rebels .

It could be a scene from Crocodile Dundee - although in lieu of the iconic croc-tooth cowboy hat there's a baseball cap instead. Gary Saurage, 45, who runs the Gator Country wildlife park in Beaumont, Texas, was called out on Monday morning to catch a giant 400lb, 11ft-long alligator from a family's backyard pond. A photograph of the capture - later posted to Facebook - shows Saurage approaching the giant reptile with his bare hands stretched forwards. He appears to looking at the creature directly in the eyes as it lurks in the bushes just a few feet away . Two men are seen standing in the background on hand to help with the capture. Scroll down for video . Action shot: Gary Saurage, 45, who runs the Gator Country wildlife park in Beaumont, Texas, was called out on Monday morning to catch a giant 400lb, 11ft-long alligator from a family's backyard pond . Saurage later reported that the gator was safely hauled out of the pond, although it took a bit of work as it was being particularly 'aggressive'. Art Williams, of Groves, was the one who spotted the gator in his garden over Easter weekend. 'My wife and I are just going for a walk, with our new dog, and there's that 11 foot alligator just about 12 feet from us,' Williams told KBMT News. Williams said he's used to alligators being in the area, which is why he built a fence to keep them away from the pond where his grandchildren canoe. But he said this gator was no match for him or his DIY barrier. All hands on deck: Saurage later reported that the gator was safely hauled out of the pond, although it took a bit of work as it was being particularly 'aggressive' Williams called on the help of Saurage to remove the massive animal, for everyone's safety. The beast was later confirmed as a male, around 35 to 40 years old. Saurage took the reptile back to his park to join more than 400 other alligators. He says there's no reason for people to fear the toothy lizards, as long as they keep a safe distance and never attempt to feed them. He points out that alligators can run 22 miles per hour on land and 'you can't run that fast.' Although it was big, Monday's catch wasn't Saurage's biggest. The largest creature at Gator Country, nicknamed Kong, measures 12 foot and six inches.

Jurors have started deliberations in the case against a man accused of killing 6-year-old Etan Patz, whose 1979 disappearance while on his way to school helped galvanize the national missing-children's movement. Etan Patz 'is larger than his very little, important life,' Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon said in closing arguments at the Manhattan murder trial of Pedro Hernandez. She asked jurors to convict Hernandez of murder, saying he was a calculated killer who committed a terrible crime and then spent three decades trying to hide from it. Shira Patz and Stanley Patz, the sister and father of Etan Patz, arrive for court, in New York, Wednesday: Jurors have started deliberations in the case against Pedro Hernandez . Pedro Hernandez, left, is accused of killing 6-year-old Etan Patz, right, who vanished in 1979 . Hernandez confessed in 2012 in a case that has confounded law enforcement for decades. Etan's body was never found, nor was any trace of clothing or his belongings. He had never been considered a suspect - his name appears only once in law enforcement paperwork at the time Etan disappeared. The defense says the admissions are made up, the ravings of a mentally ill man who sees visions and has a low IQ. A teenage stock clerk at the corner shop, Hernandez knew there were children in and out of the store, and Etan had been there countless times, the prosecutor said. She said Hernandez saw Etan with a dollar and calculated he wanted a drink, so he asked him to the basement. 'Day after day he saw this beautiful little boy,' she said. 'One day, he acted on an impulse and did something terrible to this little boy.' She said the motive was sexual, and Etan likely fought back. 'The quickest and easiest way to shut him up and shut him up permanently was to choke him to death,' she said. Rosemary Hernandez, left, and Becky Hernandez, the wife and daughter of Pedro Hernandez, arrive for court in New York, on Wednesday . Stanley Patz, left, the father of Etan Patz, arrives for court on Wednesday, although his estranged wife Julie, right, hasn't been pictured at court in recent days . Illuzzi-Orbon said his first confession to a prayer group shortly after the boy disappeared was the most accurate - he was confessing to God, and he was trying to unburden himself. Prayer circle members testified that Hernandez made tearful admissions during a 1979 retreat that matched some of what he told authorities on video 33 years later: He gave a child a soda, took him to the store basement and choked him. Two said Hernandez also admitted abusing the boy; when talking to police, Hernandez denied molesting Etan. A former neighbor and his ex-wife also testified he told them about killing someone in New York. The Maple Shade, New Jersey, man made the stunning admissions to police after authorities received a tip from a relative who saw news reports of the case in 2012.

Hundreds of children were admitted to hospital last year after being born brain damaged following exposure to alcohol in the womb, alarming new figures have revealed. In total, 272 youngsters left disabled by Foetal Alcohol Syndrome were hospitalised in England over the past 12 months, according to data from the official Health and Social Care Information Centre. But the actual number affected by their mother' s drinking could be far greater, experts have warned. Scroll down for video . Warning: New figures show that 272 youngsters left disabled by Foetal Alcohol Syndrome were hospitalised in England over the past 12 months, according to the official Health and Social Care Information Centre . Research by the World Health Organisation suggests that at least one in 100 babies born in the UK could suffer learning, behavioural and physical problems such as deformed limbs because of exposure to alcohol, according to the Sunday People. That equates to about 7,500 every year. Elizabeth Mitchell, of the National Organisation for Foetal Alchol Syndrome, told reporter Nicola Fifield: 'Children born with the syndrome don't get better. They are brain damaged. 'It is an enormous problem and one that is terribly sad and vastly under-diagnosed.' TIp of the iceberg: Research by the World Health Organisation suggests that at least one in 100 babies born in the UK could suffer learning and behavioural problems because of exposure to alcohol in the womb . One teenager who was born with Foetal Alcohol Syndrome is 15-year-old Niamh Brown. She needs help getting dressed, has no sense of danger and will never be able to live independently. Niamh was three when her adoptive parents Julia and Simon first noticed something was wrong. She stuggled at playschool, having difficulty holding a pencil and paying attention. Two years later, at the age of five, Niamh was diagnosed with Foetal Alcohol Syndrome from her birth mother's drinking. In 2007, Julia and Simon set up the Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Trust to help others. Visit www.fasdtrust.co.uk . Other medical issues associated with alcohol consumption during pregnancy include problems with the liver, kidneys and heart, cerebral palsy, sight loss and epilepsy. Pregnant women are advised by the Government not to drink alcohol. If they do, the maximum consumption recommended is up to two units no more than twice a week. But Ms Mitchell believes the guidance should be changed so that women are advised not to drink at all during pregnancy.

Summary: 272 children left disabled by alcohol exposure were hospitalised last year . The figures, for the past 12 months in England alone, spark new warning . Experts say actual number affected by mother's drinking could be higher . WHO: At least one in 100 babies, 7,500 every year, could suffer problems .


A woman was arrested in China after apparently dumping her newborn baby in a rubbish bin in a fast-food restaurant. Staff heard the baby girl crying in the ladies' toilet of a burger bar in Chengdu, Sichuan province, reports People's Daily Online. Workers who found the baby, who was wrapped in a shirt but was still attached to the umbilical cord and placenta, called the police and ambulance. A baby girl was found in the bin inside the ladies' toilet at a Chinese burger bar . A woman who had been seen visiting the toilet was established to be the mother and was arrested . Staff at the restaurant said they saw the woman going into the toilet and noticed that she'd stayed there for a long time. After she came out, she went back to her seat, sitting there without speaking a word. 'After we discovered the baby girl, we checked the CCTV footage, we found this woman likely to be the mother of the baby, so we called the ambulance as well as the police,' one worker said. The woman, Yuan Yen, 34, was found to have blood on her when she was approached. She refused to look at her baby or talk to police, who discovered her identity by looking through her purse. Workers at the restaurant said Yuan Yen had returned to her table and sat 'in a trance' She was arrested after receiving medical attention and faces charges of neglect . Police insisted she have emergency treatment and took her to the same hospital as her daughter, where she refused to see doctors. A worker at the fast food outlet said: 'The mother was in shock herself and was just sitting there in a trance. 'There was blood all over her shirt and she had her head bowed in shame. I think she was just traumatised.' Cops tried to locate her relatives but were unable to contact anybody as her phone had no credit and she had no local addresses on her. She was later transferred to the police station where she is facing charges of neglect. The infant, weighing 2.6kg (5.7lb), was declared to be healthy after being checked over by doctors.

Chaos broke out this afternoon at an airport in Kathmandu as hundreds of Indian nationals fought to return home to safety following the devastating earthquake in Nepal. As rescue efforts continued throughout the Nepalese capital, more than 1,000 passengers joined a haphazard 1km-long queue outside the nearby airport in a desperate attempt to flee the stricken city. Despite plummeting temperatures and rain, crowds had started to form outside Tribhuwan International Airport as darkness fell on Saturday night. Scroll down for video . Indian nationals fight for positions in the queue outside Tribhuwan International Airport as they try to return home following the 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Nepal . As rescue efforts continued throughout the Nepalese capital, more than 1,000 passengers formed a one kilometre-long queue outside the nearby airport in a desperate attempt to flee the stricken city . Despite the plummeting temperatures and rain, crowds had started to form outside the building late last night . Even more passengers flocked to the airport this morning, including families huddled together beneath blankets. Many visitors had already booked return journeys but had crowded outside the airport in the hope of boarding the next available flight back to India. Others had been left stranded after some flights out of the capital city were cancelled. As the departure lounges grew busier, security guards were unable to control the sheer number of passengers vying for a coveted place in the queue. The airport's parking lot was converted into a makeshift waiting area to accommodate travellers. Mohammad Pervez, one of the passengers outside the airport, told NDTV: 'There is no water here or food. I have been sitting with my wife and child since early morning. We just want to get back home to India now.' Lu Hee, who was playing cards with friends in the waiting area, said: 'I had come only two days ago. But now, I want to head back to my home in Tibet. A tourist sits with scores of other passengers who are trying to get a flight out of Kathmandu in the aftermath of the quake . Crowds formed in the departure lounges as passengers waited for information. Many people had booked flights for later in the day but were hopeful on leaving the country on an earlier flight . But she added: 'I don't mind waiting here. At least I am thankful for being alive.' The earthquake, which struck on Saturday, came at a busy time of year, with an estimated 300,000 foreign tourists in the country. The economy of Nepal, a nation of 27.8 million people, relies heavily on tourism, principally trekking and Himalayan mountain climbing. The death toll has already hit 2,500 people, with the historic city Kathmandu - and all its famous sites - now reduced to rubble. The Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu had been briefly shut down yesterday due to a powerful aftershock from the 7.9 magnitude quake. According to reports, the impact was so great that planes had to turn around mid-flight. The airport in Kathmandu was briefly shut down due to a powerful aftershock

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has revealed he wants to bring in extra investment so the club can improve their Selhurst Park home. The Premier League side, who beat champions Manchester City 2-1 on Monday night, have been reportedly targeted for a takeover by Josh Harris - an American businessman who already owns the Philadelphia 76ers NBA team and the NHL outfit the New Jersey Devils. But Parish, who has been at Palace since he and his consortium saved the club from the brink of financial collapse in 2010, has since insisted he would remain involved and that investment rather than a complete takeover was his preferred option. Jason Puncheon scored a second-half free kick as Crystal Palace beat Manchester City 2-1 on Monday . Palace chairman Steve Parish says Alan Pardew will have funds to improve the squad in the summer . And now he has given his reasons for why he believes extra funds are required, insisting the current set-up would allow manager Alan Pardew to bring in the desired summer transfer targets but that other areas require more investment. 'The only reason for us to get money in is to improve the infrastructure,' he told BBC London. 'There is no rush and we are in a good place. If it happens, it happens. We've done well enough that I think we can fund the player things we need to do out of our own resources. 'We are long overdue some ground improvements. They are very costly. We need to make sure we get that done. If that means bringing in other people, and they are the right people, then we'll do it.' Parish would, however, like investment in the club to carry out improvements at Selhurst Park . The CPFC2010 consortium took over with the Eagles having only just survived relegation from the Championship and, in under five years, have overseen a return to top-flight football. They finished last season in 11th place, ensuring for the first time that their stay in the Premier League would last longer than a solitary campaign. Pardew has guided them to the same position after being appointed at the turn of the year and Monday night's victory over City all-but guarantees a third Premier League season. Glenn Murray and Jason Puncheon had put Palace two goals up against the visitors, who could only find a consolation goal through Yaya Toure. Puncheon applauds the Manchester City supporters after a missile was thrown from the stands . Puncheon was also the target of a number of items thrown onto the pitch from the area housing Man City's supporters as he prepared to take a second-half corner. The Football Association are aware of the incident and will take appropriate action once they have their findings. It is not the first case of items being thrown onto the pitch at Selhurst Park this season, with Newcastle defender Fabricio Coloccini struck by a coin thrown as he celebrated a goal for his side. Just days later another item was thrown onto the playing area in the FA Cup

Hadas from Eritrea, Africa, talks about her experience of being circumcised (picture posed by model) A woman who still suffers from the painful consequences of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) says she doesn't blame her mother for taking her to have the procedure when she was just a baby. Hadas (not her real name to protect her identity), who now lives in the UK, had 'the cut' in Eritrea, where circumcision for girls is widely practiced, when she was just a few months old. She said: 'In my culture, it is believed that when the vagina is cut, the desire to have sex is cut as well and that sex is only something a woman does with her husband to have children.' 'Most people in Eritrea think that if a girl is cut, she will grow up to be a good girl; that she will not bring shame on her family and she will marry well. 'If a girl is not cut, they think she will grow up to be a "slut" - a girl who thinks about sex and will not be satisfied by one man. 'People believe that a girl who is not cut will bring shame on her family with her behaviour, that no one will marry her and she will be abandoned. 'Most people feel this way in my country and it is only those who are educated that disagree with the practice of cutting.' Hadas' story reveals how entrenched the culture of FGM is Eritrea, which borders Sudan and Ethiopia, where the barbaric practice - the partial or total removal of external female genitalia for non-medical reasons - is even said to prevent women growing up to be clumsy. Girls are mutilated by someone with no medical training, often using instruments such as a knife, pair of scissors, scalpel or razor blade. Anaesthetic isn't used and the victims are often forcibly restrained. Hadas was too young to remember her ordeal and only found out the truth by hearing her parents arguing - as her father had not wanted her to be subjected to it. She said: 'My father was an educated and modern man who disagreed with the belief and culture of cutting. My mother was from a traditional family and from a different community of people to my father. 'My mother had taken me to be cut while my father was away on business, as she knew he would not have allowed it. I was cut and sewn up when I was just a few months old, and when my father found out he was furious.' 'The first time I heard about cutting was from overhearing my parents fight about it, which they did throughout my childhood. 'I am not angry with my mother for taking me to get cut; my mother is a traditional person and hasn't been educated about it. She thought she was doing the best for me.' Scroll down for video .

Summary: Hadas had the barbaric practice in Eritrea, Africa, where FGM is common . Her mother believed putting her through the ordeal as a baby was best .

The father of an asthmatic nursing student who died during a traffic stop is threatening to sue police. Anthony Clark Reed was driving around Detroit, Michigan, on Monday night when he was pulled over because he reportedly had illegally tinted windows. The 24-year-old was handcuffed, despite complaining that he had trouble breathing, before suffering a fatal heart attack. Nursing student Anthony Clark Reed (left and right) was driving around Detroit, Michigan, on Monday night when he was pulled over. He suffered a heart attack during a traffic stop after complaining he had trouble breathing . His father, pastor Kevin Clark, claimed his son had been 'driving erratically' because he was having trouble breathing and was searching for his inhaler. He told The Huffington Post that he suffered an asthma attack, and the police were indirectly responsible for his death. 'He was gasping for air, looking for his inhaler [as he was driving],' Clark told the site. 'When Detroit police pulled him out of the car he was already in panic mode … and they handcuffed him, and he's trying to tell them he can't breathe. 'I believe it caused his death ... He dropped dead right there, in the hands of Detroit police officers who were negligent.' He described how he found out about his son's death two hours after the incident. When he arrived at the hospital, he claims no one from Detroit Police was there to tell him what happened. His father, pastor Kevin Clark, claimed his son had been 'driving erratically' because he was having trouble breathing and was searching for his inhaler. He is planning to sue police for their role in his son's death . Only a hospital chaplain was there when he was asked to identify his son's body. It wasn't until the next morning that he was able to speak to officers. Spokeswoman June West said: 'We provided him with answers as best we could at this stage of the investigation and we will be reaching out to the family in the next few days to provide them with updated information as it becomes available.' Jennifer Moreno from the Detroit Police media relations department told MILive: 'Officers did stop the gentleman for a traffic violation and subsequently he exited the vehicle ... had an asthma attack. 'They gave him his inhaler (and) they administered CPR when the gentleman passed out and then (an ambulance) was ordered ...' The coroner's office have yet to determine the cause of death. Pastor Clark (pictured with Anthony Clark Reed's twin sisters) claimed there wasn't anyone from Detroit Police at the hospital when he arrived to identify his son's body .

Chelsea can take another step closer towards securing the Premier League title when they face Arsenal on Sunday, and Jose Mourinho's side stepped up their preparations for the Emirates showdown in training on Friday. The league leaders were put through their paces at their Cobham training headquarters just a couple of days before a London derby against Arsene Wenger's side. Mourinho has never lost to Wenger in 12 outings, and he will be hoping 13 is not unlucky as well on Sunday as his side look to extend their 10-point lead over the Gunners. Chelsea trained at their base in Cobham on Friday ahead of their game against Arsenal . Chelsea's Spanish midfielder prepares to face his former club Arsenal at the weekend . Didier Drogba has an excellent record against Arsenal and could start up front . Cesc Fabregas will make his first return to the Emirates, but another of Chelsea's summer signings Diego Costa is a doubt for the clash due to injury. That would mean Didier Drogba, who was seen training at Cobham on Friday, or Loic Remy could start up front for Chelsea at the Emirates. At his press conference on Friday, Mourinho said: 'Didier for sure is good, is fine. Remy, not for sure. And Diego, let's make a decision tomorrow. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho takes charge of the training session at Cobham on Friday . Belgian star Eden Hazard is in line to be named PFA Player of the Year this weekend . Dominic Solanke is in reserve, having missed Chelsea's Under 21 team match on Thursday, and will be on the substitutes' bench as back-up to Drogba if Costa is not fit. Costa has scored 19 Premier League goals this season, including one in the 2-0 win against Arsenal in October. But Costa has missed the last two matches - wins against QPR and Manchester United - after a recurrence of the hamstring problems which have plagued him. 'He's a very important player for us, but the reality is we are coping with the difficulties of every match without him,' Mourinho added. Teenage striker Dominic Solanke joined the first team for their training session at Cobham on Friday . Youngster Solanke with Hazard in training ahead of the Arsenal game at the Emirates .

There is a rich and mildly amusing irony about Arsenal fans calling Chelsea boring for defending well, when these Gooners still celebrate a side that ground out results just to preserve their unbeaten record in 2003-04. They drew four of their last seven, the lifeless goalless stalemate at home to Birmingham a particular highlight. Instead of giving a shallow critique fuelled by sour grapes on Chelsea's title winners, maybe those fans should focus on the shortcomings of their own players, and in particular Mesut Ozil. Mesut Ozil has been sublime in recent weeks but he didn't do enough against Chelsea on Sunday . The German, celebrating the FA Cup win over Reading, needs to start performing to live up to his £42m tag . I've enjoyed some of Ozil's recent performances, he's been sublime more than spectacular, but he's definitely been a joy to watch. And so as I sat down to watch Arsenal face Chelsea, I felt confident that Ozil could be the difference between the two teams. I also felt that Arsenal could win the game, and win it well. And that if they did win it well, it would put huge pressure on Chelsea in the run-in. I felt there would be a chance that a big result for Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday might just open the title door for the Gunners. But it wasn't to be. And come the big moment, the big player fluffed his lines. Ozil wasn't terrible but he didn't impact the game enough. While Cesc Fabregas was sending a killer pass only for Oscar to be wiped out by the goalkeeper (how is that not a penalty?), and Willian carved Arsenal up with the pass of the match to gift a great chance to Ramires, Ozil was tidy, nothing more. Cesc Fabregas outshone Ozil on Sunday as Chelsea showed why they are ahead of Arsenal this season . Fabregas, who left the Emirates pitch with Ozil's shirt, would have been better than the German for Arsenal . Ozil takes on Cesar Azpilicueta in a game where he was fine, but not good enough to change the result . He didn't stand out. He didn't impact the game enough to affect the result. He didn't show any signs of being world class, or worth £42million. And then when he had the chance to be the match winner, Ozil completely missed his kick with the goal gaping right in front of him. Poor technique. In the second half Chelsea played into Ozil's hands. They effectively gave him the ball and asked him what he could do. If he's as good as he's purported to be, he kills off Chelsea with his ability on the ball. But he couldn't create the winning goal. For all of Arsenal's pivotal, meaningful, must-win games in the last two seasons, Ozil has looked average. Even in the FA Cup final last year it was Santi Cazorla and Aaron Ramsey who stood out, while Ozil failed to shine, complaining afterwards he was tired after his first season in English football.

Summary: Mesut Ozil failed to deliver against Chelsea despite a perfect opportunity . Cesc Fabregas would have had a bigger impact at Arsenal this season . Ozil showed poor technique when he had the chance to be a match winner . He may be a Juan Sebastian Veron, Andriy Shevchenko or Fernando Torres .
