Tasers are supposed to offer people protection, but for one dim-witted youngster there was one person even the most powerful stun gun couldn't protect him against - himself. Dangelo Conner, from New York, filmed himself messing around with the powerful weapon in a friend's apartment, first waving it around, then sending volts coursing through a Coke can. But his antics all went horribly wrong after he decided to electrocute a metal bracelet while he was still holding it, sending the current through his hand and into his body. Dangelo Connor, from Brooklyn, New York, filmed himself messing around with a powerful stung gun. He first electrocuted a Coke can, but his antics all went horribly wrong when he zapped a bracelet he was holding . Proving that the weapon lives up to its reputation, he is instantly laid out on the floor, his muscles twitching uncontrollably, while his two friend laugh in the background. Since Dangelo, who also goes by the name of Mikkey, posted the footage on his Facebook page the video has gone viral, being viewed more than 17million times. Users have branded the video 'hilarious', while one girl Kayla Chambers said it was the 'best thing I ever seen'. However not everyone has been supportive. Michael Salami Dinh branded Dangelo a 'useless waste of space', while Dustin Carroll added: 'What a dumbass.' After the current passes through the bracelet and into him, Deangelo collapses on the floor and begins twitching uncontrollably while his friends laugh in the background .

Success is a gloriously familiar routine for Johnny Sexton. Adding gold-plated entries to his personal CV has become an annual exercise – a tradition he is hell-bent on maintaining. As he prepared for a European Champions Cup quarter-final showdown with Saracens on Sunday in Paris, Racing Metro’s No 10 and Irish icon reflected on his healthy habit. ‘I’ve been very lucky to have been part of some great sides with Leinster and Ireland, and there haven’t been too many years that have gone by that I haven’t been part of a side winning trophies,’ he said. In fact, since the 29-year-old established himself at senior level, 2010 stands alone as a year without substantial reward. There were league titles in 2008 and 2013, Heineken Cups in 2009, 2011 and 2012, a Challenge Cup in 2013, plus the Test peaks – Six Nations titles this year and last, and a Lions series triumph in Australia in 2013. Johnny Sexton wants to full the void by winning a medal with Racing Metro this season . Short of helping Ireland to win the World Cup later this year, there’s not much left for Sexton to achieve, but he won’t settle for what he has. None of the medals have been earned in the colours of Racing, and filling that void in his check-list is a pressing priority. With a summer return to Dublin approaching, Sexton said: ‘I was speaking to Ronan (O’Gara – former Ireland team-mate and Racing’s kicking coach) last week and saying, for me, for my two years here to be a success, we need to pick up a trophy. Whenever I come back to France, I want to be able to hold my head up high, say that I gave my best to Racing while I was here and helped the club achieve something.’ The Parisian team are in the knock-out stages of Europe’s elite event for the first time, but it is familiar territory for their Irish playmaker. Sexton has featured in 11 knock-out games in continental rugby and won the lot. It is a proud record that hadn’t really occurred to him. Sexton has helped French side reach the knock-out stages of Europe’s elite event for first time . ‘I hadn’t realised that. That builds the pressure on me nicely,’ he quipped. ‘I’ ve never played a knock-out game for Racing, so hopefully it’s going to be one from one!’ Pressure is no problem to him. He handled the scrutiny of being the conductor for the Lions and has rarely faltered in conveying a sense of supreme self-belief. When Leinster were staring down the barrel in the 2011 Heineken Cup Final in Cardiff – trailing 22-6 to Northampton at half-time – Sexton scored two second-half tries in a 28-point haul to propel his province to a comeback victory which took an instant place in the folklore of club rugby in the northern hemisphere. These days, he is often acclaimed as the world’s premier fly-half. Asked about the accolade, he said: ‘I’ve worked hard throughout my career to try to get

Summary: Johnny Sexton has featured in 11 Euro knock-out games and won the lot . Racing Metro's No 10 wants to finish two-year stint in Paris with a medal . The French side face Saracens in last eight of European Champions Cup .

It is based in the high-end Ennismore Gardens, London where Gardner, who famously starred in The Killers, The Barefoot Contessa, 55 Days at Peking and The Night of the Iguana, lived from 1968 - after her three failed marriages, to Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw and Frank Sinatra - until her death in 1990. Homes along Ennismore Gardens have a long history, built in 1870 as part of the redevelopment of Kingston House, a Palladian mansion dating back to the 18th Century, belonging to Elizabeth Chudleigh, Duchess of Kingston. The mansion and its estate was later sold to William Hare, Baron of Ennismore, in 1837, but was sold off for development following his death, with the street and private gardens named to commemorate him. Once completed the five-storey homes along Ennismore Gardens, designed with Porticos and Corinthian Columns, commanded a premium of £17,000 per year.

A simple breath test that could help detect the early stages of stomach cancer has been developed by scientists. The screening system spots chemical signals in exhaled air that are linked to tumour development. By looking for distinctive ‘breath prints’, researchers were also able to distinguish between patients at high and low risk of developing the disease. Scroll down for video . In and out: Thanks to a breath test, researchers claim there were able to detect the early stages of stomach cancer and also to distinguish between patients at high and low risk of developing the disease (stock image) Israeli researchers say the system is accurate, cheap – and allows patients to be monitored without using invasive procedures. The discovery comes as scientists in the US made a breakthrough that could lead a test to flag up the most aggressive forms of prostate cancer. A protein has been identified which seems to play a crucial role in the rapid growth of tumours. The breath test discovery is hoped to save thousands of lives. About 7,000 people develop stomach cancer in the UK each year and most of these cases are in the advanced stages when they are diagnosed. Research leader Professor Hossam Haick of the Russell Berrie Nanotechnology Institute in Haifa, said: ‘The attraction of this test lies in its non-invasiveness, ease of use, rapid predictiveness, insensitivity to confounding factors, and potentially low cost.’ Breathe: The tscreening system spots chemical signals in exhaled air that are linked to tumour development (stock image) Previous research has found that other methods could be used to identify stomach cancer, but none looked at detecting pre-cancerous changes. In the study published online in the journal Gut, breath samples were taken from 484 people, including 99 already diagnosed with stomach cancer. They were analysed by so-called nanomaterial sensors, which are able to read a chemical signal or pattern linked with stomach cancer based on very small particles in a patient’s breath. The test is so accurate it could detect the difference between early and late stage gastric cancers. The researchers hope the breath test could be used as an alternative to endoscopies, an invasive and expensive procedure to diagnose gastric cancers using a long flexible tube. A large trial involving thousands of patients, including those with stomach cancer or pre-cancerous changes, is currently under way in Europe to test the technology’s suitability as a screening method, they add. Meanwhile, US experts say the discovery of a new biomarker protein may one day lead to a test which differentiates men with aggressive prostate cancer from those with a less threatening form of the disease. The findings, published in the scientific journal Oncogene, raises hope of tests that deliver an accurate diagnosis from the outset. The results could lead to more targeted treatment for those with the worst cancers – and less treatment for men whose tumours are not dangerous. Professor Renny Franceschi, of the University of Michigan, said it paves the way for a ‘warning light’ that signals how dangerous the cancer is. It might also one

Chilean pickpockets have become the most effective thieves operating in central London, according to undercover police teams. Gangs of up to six follow wealthy shoppers in the West End before stealing their cash and belongings, according to the plain-clothes officers tasked with reducing theft in the area. In one example Metropolitan Police stopped two Chilean women wearing burkas after they had been spotted targeting rich Arab tourists in the Park Lane and Mayfair areas. Chilean pickpockets have become the most effective thieves operating in central London, according to undercover police teams . A bag they were carrying contained €130,000 and £20,000 as well as gold and diamond jewellery. London's busy shopping areas prove a big draw for gangs of pickpockets from around the world including Romania, Algeria and Bulgaria, reports Andy Jones on Vice. But DC Darren Bond, whose team monitors the Oxford Street, Bond Street and Regent Street areas, explained to the the website that Chilean pickpockets 'don't mess about'. He is quoted as saying: 'They are intelligence-led – they don't go after anyone but wealthy tourists – and operate in mixed teams of three to six, often middle-aged. 'They will look like a nice family or group of businessmen to fit in. It allows them to walk through hotels unchallenged, sit down and have breakfast, then walk out with bags, laptops, etc. They are so hard to trace.' Plain clothes police are attempting to drive down pickpocket crimes in busy shopping areas like Oxford Street, pictured . He said many arrive in Britain on a six-month VISA before heading off on a 'European tour' and police are constantly monitoring CCTV to keep tabs on gangs and their recruits. Organised international gangs of thieves will often spend a short time operating in London before flying to the likes of Madrid, Barcelona and Milan for the same purpose - all as part of moves to avoid detection. DC Bond, whose squad has seen a 50 per cent reduction in thefts over the last year, told Vice that 'anecdotally' about 70 per cent of arrested pickpockets were Romanians or Bulgarians, ten per cent Algerians and five per cent Chileans with the rest UK-based. 'Big city theft is now organised, international crime with bosses and a hierarchy,' he added.

Google launched a new U.S. wireless service today that switches between Wi-Fi and cellular networks . Google is already the world’s most popular phone software provider, and a pay-TV operator - and now it wants to be your mobile network carrier. The company has unveiled a U.S. wireless service that switches between Wi-Fi and cellular networks to curb data use and keep phone bills low. The service, called 'Project Fi,' debuted today, about two months after Google revealed its plans to expand its ever-growing empire into providing wireless connections for smartphones. Google is selling the basic phone service for $20 a month and will only charge customers for the amount of cellular data that they use each month, instead of a flat rate. Each gigabyte of data will cost $10 a month. That means a customer could sign up for a plan offering three gigabytes of data and get $20 back if only one gigabyte was used in a month. Most wireless phone carriers allow their customers to roll over unused data into another month of service without refunding any money. Project Wi-Fi initially will only be sold to a narrow US audience that owns the Nexus 6, a smartphone that Motorola Mobility made with Google's help. Google's pricing setup makes Project Fi less expensive than most of the comparable plans offering by the four biggest wireless phone carriers - Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. The monthly prices for a single line of smartphone service with up to one gigabyte of cellular data at those carriers range from $45 to $50 compared to $30 from Google. The major carriers, though, offer a variety of family plans that could still be better deals than Project Fi. Those bundled plans allow several phone lines to share a pool of cellular data. Scroll down for video . Besides trying to bring down the prices of wireless phone plans, Google is promising subscribers that their Nexus 6 model will automatically connect with the fastest network available. Rather than building its own network, Google is leasing space on cellular towers built by Sprint and T-Mobile, which are hoping the deals will boost their profits without costing them too many customers tempted to defect to Project Fi. To use the service, Nexus 6 owners must sign-up to request an invitation, must have a Gmail address, and must live in a US zip code within the coverage area. In this map, the dark green areas are covered by the service's 4G LT, the lime green is covered by 3G and the pale green by 2G . Verizon 4G LTE coverage is pictured for comparison. Project Fi will be hosted through Sprint Corp and T-Mobile's networks . The service will work only on the company's Nexus 6 phones and only in the US . Project Fi will be hosted through Sprint Corp and T-Mobile's networks. Overall, it costs $20 for basic service, which includes unlimited domestic talk, unlimited texting, tethering, and access in 120 countries. Customers pay $10 per GB of data. Data is paid for in advance, and the

Summary: Project Fi will be hosted through Sprint Corp and T-Mobile's networks . It costs $20 for basic service and unused data is paid back to customer . The invitation-only service will work only on Nexus 6 phones in the US . Numbers will live in the cloud so users can talk on any connected tablet .


After exposing potential security risks with airlines' in-flight entertainment systems, one of the top experts on counter-threat intelligence in the wold was pulled off a flight by FBI agents. Chris Roberts, who featured in a string of Fox News reports, was yanked off his plane after it landed in Syracuse, New York, on Wednesday night by two FBI agents and two uniformed officers. Roberts, who works for security intelligence company One World Labs, was questioned for the next four hours. Scroll down for video . Chris Roberts of One World Labs was grabbed after his plane landed in Syracuse, New York, on Wednesday . Roberts has been featured on the Fox News television show On the Record with Greta Van Susteren (left) The FBI agents took electronic devices and computer files from Roberts and confiscated his laptop and thumb drives, Fox News reported. They asked to forensically image his laptop, but Roberts told the agents to get a warrant. He was coming to town to speak at an aerospace conference about vulnerabilities in airplane systems and did make a presentation at the event on Thursday without the use of his electronics. The incident occurred only a few hours after a report about Roberts' research was released by Fox. Roberts said in the report: 'We can still take planes out of the sky thanks to the flaws in the in-flight entertainment systems. 'Quite simply put, we can theorize on how to turn the engines off at 35,000 feet and not have any of those damn flashing lights go off in the cockpit.' Experts worry planes' flight and entertainment systems could be compromised by terrorist hacking (file photo) The Government Accountability Office released a report earlier this week with similar findings. The GAO report stated: 'According to cybersecurity experts we interviewed, Internet connectivity in the cabin should be considered a direct link between the aircraft and the outside world, which includes potential malicious actors.' Roberts is scheduled to fly home Friday and is already pre-checked through the TSA. He said: 'You have one element in the FBI reaching out to people like me for help, but another element doing a hell of a job burning those bridges. 'Those of us who do threat research are doing it for the right reasons, and we work to build relationships with the intelligence community because we want to help them identify weaknesses before they become a problem.'

French trainer Freddy Head has favourably compared his 2,000 Guineas hope Ride Like The Wind to last year's fifth-placed runner Charm Spirit, who landed three Group One races in 2014. Ride Like The Wind was one of 34 colts which remain in the first Classic of the season run on Saturday, May 2. Ride Like The Wind won just one of his four starts last season but he has run twice this term, posting a career best on his most recent start when landing the Group Three Prix Djebel by a head. French trainer Freddy Head likens his 2,000 Guineas hope Ride Like The Wind to Charm Spirit . Both the runner-up that day, Make Believe, and the fifth home, Sinfonietta, could reoppose in the Guineas to make it a three-pronged French assault on the 2,000 Guineas. Head said: ‘Ride Like The Wind will run in the 2,000 Guineas. He has done very well since his last race, his work has been good, and I think that he has improved a bit. ‘He is on the same sort of level as Charm Spirit was at this time last year. They are similar horses in that they tend to be a bit keen and if Ride Like The Wind settles better than Charm Spirit did last year I think that he has a good chance. Head says Ride Like The Wind is 'on the same sort of level' as Charm Spirit was at this time last year . ‘That is why I have given him two runs already this season, to get the freshness out of him before the Guineas. 'I was very happy with his Prix Djebel victory. He settled then quickened well and it was to his credit that he won despite being held up at the back of the field when the pace was slow. 'The undulations at Newmarket won’t be a problem for him and although seven furlongs is a good trip for him at the moment I think that he will stay a mile as long as he relaxes.’ The Aidan O’Brien-trained pair of Gleneagles and Highland Reel head the 2,000 Guineas entries. Also still in contention are the three winners of last week’s Classic trials – Kool Kompany (Craven Stakes), Home Of The Brave (Free Handicap) and Muhaarar (Greenham Stakes). Gleneagles and Highland Reel, both trained by Aidan O’Brien, lead the entries for the 2,000 Guineas . Roger Varian’s impressive Newbury winner Intilaaq could still be supplemented to the Guineas. Connections would have to pay £30,000 on Monday to add him to the line-up. One colt who is looking likely to be supplemented to the 2,000 Guineas field is Godolphin's Territories, who has pleased Andre Fabre since winning a Group Three at Longchamp. A statement on Godolphin’s website quoted Fabre as saying: ‘Territories has come out of his trial very well and has come on for the run. At this stage, a supplementary entry in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket is under serious consideration and we are 90% certain to take that route, subject to the horse

Summary: Ride Like The Wind is one of 34 colts still in the first Classic of the season . The 2,000 Guineas will be run at Newmarket on Saturday, May 2 . Ride Like The Wind is a similar horse to 2014's fifth runner Charm Spirit . The horse landed the Group Three Prix Djebel by a head last start .


Kevin Carr is set to complete his epic 16,300 round-the-world trip tomorrow in Devon after 19 months . A British barman is set to enter the record books after running 16,300 miles around the globe over 621 days while wearing out 16 pairs of shoes. Kevin Carr set off from Haytor on Dartmoor in July 2013 and every day since then he has completed on average one and a quarter marathons a day. Now, after covering an estimated 36,000,000 steps over the past 19 months he is just 24 hours from returning to his starting point. And in the process, he will become the fastest man to ever run around the world. The 35-year-old from Woolacombe in Devon is currently in his home county and is due to complete his 16,300-mile epic journey on Thursday. If he is successful, Mr Carr will beat the current record held by Australian ultramarathon runner Tom Denniss, by 24 hours. Mr Denniss completed his run in 2013. Mr Carr's effort is the first unsupported trip around the world, having relied on the generosity of people he has met on his journey. At the start of March, Mr Carr was seven days behind schedule, but he managed to increase his daily run to 44 miles and is now a day ahead of schedule. During his run, Mr Carr has travelled though 26 countries, across Europe, Australia, New Zealand and North and South America. For most of his journey, Mr Carr pushed his tent in front of him in a giant buggy although he was able to ditch that back in Ireland. Mr Carr embarked on his epic journey to raise money for the mental health charity Sane because he has suffered from depression. His goal, as well as raising cash, is to prove that because someone my be sometimes ill, they do not have 'a weak mind'. He told The Independent: 'I have always wanted to see how far I can go. What's the limit to our endurance? I simply want to hold the record as the fastest man around the world. It's the purest test of endurance, the natural limit of planet Earth. 'You simply cannot go further on our world, unless you begin running laps.' Mr Carr ran through Europe, before flying to India and then onto Australia and New Zealand. He then went to Canada and the United States, before crossing Chile and Argentina. Finally he flew into the west coast of Ireland before arriving back in Devon.

A busy town centre was brought to a standstill this afternoon after a mysterious 15-foot sinkhole opened up in the road without warning - almost swallowing a number of cars in the process. Motorists had to swerve out of the way of the giant hole after it appeared on the residential Earl Street in Northampton at around 2pm, just hours after part of a London pavement collapsed, swallowing a pedestrian. Shocking pictures show the gaping chasm - which was around eight foot (2.4 metres) wide - with a section of surrounding road also looking on the verge of collapse. Scroll down for video . Enormous: The hole opened up on Earl Street, Northampton, at about 2pm on Thursday . Blocked: Police quickly sealed off the road to avoid anyone falling into the hole, which is about eight foot wide . Police quickly closed off Earl Street, causing traffic chaos and leaving locals without water following damage to a water main. A barmaid from the Charles Bradlaugh pub, opposite the hole, who did not wish to be named, said: 'We saw it from inside the pub. 'It was weird. It just collapsed but it gave way really slowly. It was gradual. 'I am not at all sure why it happened. It was really strange.' Eyewitness Matthew Green, 24, was in the pub when he heard a loud bang. He said: 'I was just having a drink with my mate when there was this loud crashing noise. 'I thought there had been an accident but when I went outside, I saw the road had collapsed. 'The hole is massive. It must nearly cover half of the width of the whole road. 'Police were here pretty quick but cars had to swerve out of the way until we went out and stopped them . 'It is incredible. It is like something you would see in a disaster movie.' Gradual: One eyewitness said the road 'gave way really slowly' as people watched on . Unbelievable: Another person watching it collapse was 'like something you would see in a disaster movie' Van driver Chris Williams, 30, who was stuck in the traffic which backed as a result of the hole, added: 'I couldn't believe it. 'There was loads of traffic. It was horrendous. It backed up for a good few miles.' He added: 'It was very inconvenient.' A Northamptonshire Police spokesman said the incident had been handed over to Anglian Water from the Highways Authority and they were no longer involved. An Anglian Water spokesman added: 'We are still working to get the problem resolved. 'We do not yet know what caused it but fortunately nobody was injured. 'There were six properties without water in the area and it could be days or a couple of weeks until the road is reopened.'

Nigel Farage has abandoned hopes of winning dozens of seats at the General Election and is now targeting just ten, it can be revealed. Ukip, which will today unveil its manifesto, has reduced the number of constituencies where it is concentrating resources as it loses ground in the polls. A party strategist said 'something extraordinary' would now need to happen for it to win in places outside its target list. Nigel Farage has abandoned hopes of winning dozens of seats at the General Election and is now targeting just ten . South Thanet, Kent (Majority: Con 7,617) Clacton, Essex (Ukip 12,404) Rochester & Strood, Kent (Ukip 2,920) Thurrock, Essex (Con 92) Great Grimsby, Lincs (Labour 714) Boston & Skegness, Lincs (Con 12,426) Camborne & Redruth, Cornwall (Con 66) Dudley North, West Midlands (Lab 649) Castle Point, Essex (Cons 7,632) Heywood & Middleton, Greater Manchester (Lab 617) After Ukip won the Rochester and Strood by-election last November and gained its second MP, Mr Farage said the party could go on to win 'dozens of seats' in the election. But Ukip campaign chiefs have now adopted a 'shotgun' approach with a far fewer targets. Mr Farage will this morning launch the party's manifesto in Thurrock, Essex. A Ukip source said: 'It will be a broad and open offer to those on low and middle incomes. That's something which no other party is doing.' Among the seats dropped from the list of hopefuls is Folkestone and Hythe, where candidate Janice Atkinson was replaced after allegations of fraudulent expenses claims. The target list includes South Thanet, where Mr Farage is standing, along with Clacton and Rochester and Strood, where Douglas Carswell and Mark Reckless won by-elections after defecting from the Tories. The party also hopes to win in Thurrock, a tight three-way marginal where the Tories are defending a majority of just 92. Another focus is Heywood and Middleton, in Greater Manchester, where it narrowly lost a by-election to Labour last October. Ukip's election co-ordinator Chris Bruni-Lowe, who masterminded last year's by-election wins, is organising campaigns in the ten targets. The party is helping write campaign literature, organising mailshots to voters and putting up billboards, while other candidates are mostly being left to their own devices. Clacton, where Tory defector Douglas Carswell (left) is standing for Ukip, is one of the few seats the party still thinks he can win . Ukip's immigration spokesman has admitted that even the leadership of the party has been left confused by its policy on foreigners moving to Britain. At an event last month Steven Woolfe said the deputy chairman Suzanne Evans, who has written Ukip's manifesto, did not understand the immigration policy even when he showed her diagrams to explain it.

A Texas mom who has already spent seven years in prison for the murder of her four-year-old adopted son, and was released shortly before Christmas, will not face new murder charges. Hannah Overton, 37, wiped back tears as she, along with her husband Larry and five children, celebrated news that after having her conviction overturned for poisoning her son, Andrew Burd, with an overdose of salt, prosecutors have dropped all charges against her and will no longer be looking into her case. Throughout her incarceration, her family stood by her and protested her innocence, but Nueces County district attorney Mark Skurka had said shortly after she was released that he would push again for capital murder charges. He could do this as her conviction was overturned because of ineffective counsel, meaning this would not be a case of double jeopardy. Scroll down for video . Hannah Overton (above wiping away tears with her daughter and son) will not be tried on murder charges again in the death of her adopted son . Overton's five children and husband Larry (above) were there to celebrate the news . In a news release however, Skura said that he would not be trying the case again due to 'a myriad of factors which came about after a careful review of the previous trial, re-interviewing some of the key witnesses, consulting with some of the medical experts involved in the case, reviewing evidence adduced at recent hearings and staffing the case with the current prosecutors assigned to the case.' A judge then granted Skura's motion to dismiss. 'Wow, we don't even know where to begin,' Overton said after hearing this news. 'We are so excited about all God has done in and through all of this. He has carried us through.' An appellate court's majority opinion to overturn Overton's conviction last year wrote that her trial was 'problematic from the beginning,' according to ABC News. Original prosecutor Sandra Eastwood was terminated for reasons unrelated to the original case years after Overton was convicted, and Overton has accused her of unprofessional conduct several times since. On a fateful day in October 2006, Burd, whose biological teenage mother was a Meth addict, started acting up and then vomited, telling Overton that he didn't feel well. When he said he felt cold, he took a warm bath but as his symptoms worsened, the Overtons took him to the Corpus Christi hospital for treatment. He died a day later from salt poisoning. A week after his death, murder charges were brought against the mother. The lead prosecutor in the case, Eastwood, portrayed Overton as a frazzled care giver that had force fed Andrew cajun seasoning as a form of punishment, which caused the sodium poisoning. But during the trial, the defense said the boy's death was accidental and was likely due to a medical condition, pica, that can cause a person to crave non-edible salty items like clay, sand or dirt. The mother has been behind bars for seven years, separated from her husband and five children who are being cared

Summary: Hannah Overton will not be tried on murder charges again in the death of her adopted son . Overton was found guilty in the 2006 of killing her adopted son Andrew Burd, who died of acute salt poisoning . Overton has denied killing the boy from the start and her husband and five children have stood by her side . Late last year her conviction was overturned because of ineffective counsel, but Nueces County district attorney Mark Skurka was set to try her again . Skurka filed a motion to dismiss however and the judge granted his motion .


You'd think that being a chef, I'd want to escape the toils of the kitchen while on holiday - but the opposite is true. I jump at the chance to experience new flavours and gather fresh inspiration. And where better to tickle your tastebuds than in glorious Grenada? The island is known for its zesty spices and self-sufficiency - the only food it imports is milk. Heading west: Rosemary spent a week on Grenada, where fresh foodstuffs like cocoa fruit are easily available . Meat and fish are plentiful and, because the soil is very fertile, the vegetables, fruit and salads are the glossiest you'll ever see. Grenada's seasons are similar to our own, which means cauliflower, broccoli and pumpkins in spring. Exotic fruit - mangoes, star fruit, passion fruit, melon and skin-up, which is like a lychee — are the stars of the summer. Autumn heralds guavas, sweetsop (sugar apples) and soursop (similar to pawpaw), and then there is the temptingly named mammee apple, which is a Caribbean version of a peach. Sumptuous sands: Grenada is home to splendid beaches - such as the glorious arc of Grand Anse . I am staying in the southwest of the island at Mount Cinnamon on Grand Anse Beach, near the charming town of St George. It offers well-equipped self-catering villas, each with its own terrace and wonderful views of the bay. You can cook your own supper, but the bubbling restaurant scene is difficult to resist. Beach bars abound. I especially liked the Beach Cabana at Mount Cinnamon, where they serve fabulously strong cocktails made with local rum at all hours of the day and night. People come across from nearby islands to enjoy the weekly bonfire on the beach, at which local musicians play. This is the Caribbean at its best. Just beware of those generous drinks measures. The restaurant Yolo (which is text speakfor 'you only live once') specialises in sushi and Asian cuisine. I order plums, mangoes, cherries and avocados, all picked that day. The fish is as fresh as can be - so the tuna tartare, its signature dish, almost leaps off the plate. Come dine with me: Grenada is an island awash with fresh produce and intriguing local recipes . The next day, I watch a fish cookery demonstration at Mount Cinnamon: a traditional dish of kingfish marinated in coconut, ginger, lime, spices, peppers and chives, wrapped in banana leaves and cooked over a wood fire, and served with delicious breadfruit chips. If you want to mingle with Grenadans, there is nowhere better than a rambunctious food market. St George's market brims with local spices and everything else that is grown on the island. In a 17th-century working plantation - a colonial house and estate - you can witness the crops of fruit, exotic flowers and spices in their regimented glory. Here, I learn to cook the Grenadan national dish, oil down. This is a hearty, one-pot meal with salted meat, chicken, breadfruit, callaloo - which is like spinach - and dumplings. The whole lot is stewed in

Summary: Grenada is known as the 'Island of Spice', and is full of foodie flavours . Celebrity chef Rosemary Shrager spent a week on the Caribbean island . Favourite local dishes include goat's cheese and salt fish fritters .


Abby Bishop's (right) life completely changed when she took in her niece Zala (left) Most professional athletes are used to having their lives centred on themselves and their sport. But when basketballer Abby Bishop was just 24, her life completely changed when she took in her two-day-old niece Zala. It was August 2013 and Bishop suddenly found herself caring for a newborn, juggling training with sleepless nights and adjusting to her new life. Now Zala is 20 months old and she follows Bishop as she travels the world playing for professional teams, and will go with her to the U.S. this May when she starts playing for the Seattle Storm in the WNBA. Bishop, now 26, said it was a big decision at the time but she wouldn't change anything. 'My sister wasn’t very well,' she told Daily Mail Australia. 'I pretty much brought Zala home and started pre-season training with the Canberra Capitals straight away. 'It was tough with no sleep and adjusting to having another little human with me 24/7, but I have amazing friends who help me and my mum helped me when she could. 'I'm not going to lie and say it was easy but I just got through it.' Bishop had planned to spend a few years living in Europe full-time playing basketball, but she had to adjust her plans to do what was best for Zala. She chose to base herself in Canberra, sometimes flying interstate with Zala for weekend matches. Bishop was also able to take Zala with her to Hungary, where she played for local basketball teams for a couple of months in February 2014 and again in February this year. 'There are a few things I've missed out on, but I don't feel like I've missed out I've made the best of the situation,' she said. The basketballer, who lives in Canberra, has looked after her niece since she was two days old . Now Zala is 20 months old and she follows Bishop as she travels the world playing for professional teams . 'All the teams I've been part of have just been amazing in terms of taking me and Zala on. 'My European teams paid for my nanny's flights and they had cots and car seats and toys and everything there. 'I just can't thank the Canberra Capitals enough for putting childcare in my contract and letting me take Zala on road trips.' But it hasn't all been smooth sailing. Bishop had to miss out on playing for the national Opals team in the world championships in Turkey in October last year because of issues with their policy, which would have required her to cover the cost of travelling with a nanny. 'Taking on Zala I knew I was going to have to deal with some things within sport and for me that was not being able to go to world championships because of the policy they put in place,' she said. Bishop was able to take Zala with her to Hungary, where she played for local basketball teams for a

The mother of a five-year-old girl has told of her heartache each time she looks at her daughter's disfigured face. Young Alexis Douglas was playing at her sister's friend's house in Melbourne earlier this year, when a neighbour's pitbull attacked the little girl. Left with deep gashes of up to 10cm, her mother Monique Douglas told Daily Mail Australia that not a day goes by that she cries for her daughter who has been left so traumatised that she is unable to play outside by herself.

Discount supermarket Aldi is under fire for failing to notify customers of credit card fees six months after it promised the corporate regulator it would. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) took action against the supermarket company last year after an investigation revealed it did not disclose a 0.5 percent surcharge placed on transactions made using tap and go contactless payment systems in any of its stores. ASIC also found that ALDI failed to disclose the 0.5 percent surcharge it charges consumers paying by credit card in some of its stores. Scroll down for video . Discount supermarket Aldi is under fire for failing to notify customers of a 0.5 percent surcharge on credit card fees six months after it promised the corporate regulator it would . Aldi told the regulator it would put up signs at the entrance of stores and at registers to notify shoppers of the surcharge, as well as have cashiers inform customers before payments were made. But Fairfax Media reports that Aldi has not consistently disclosed the surcharge to customers and many were unaware about the additional fees. Some stores still do not have signs at entrances and signs at the registers warning of the surcharge are in tiny print. A spokeswoman for the supermarket said Aldi had carried out an audit last year to make sure appropriate signs were visible. 'If for any reason an Aldi store does not have the required signage, we will ensure that this is corrected immediately,' she said. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission took action against Aldi last year after an investigation revealed it did not disclose a 0.5 percent surcharge on transactions made using tap and go . Some stores still do not have signs at entrances and signs at the registers warning of the surcharge are in tiny print . Under the ASIC Act, retailers that fail to adequately disclose surcharges, or create the impression that surcharges do not apply, may be considered 'misleading or deceptive'. ASIC Deputy Chairman Peter Kell said retailers needed to disclose credit card surcharges. 'Merchants need to be transparent about fees and charges where credit card surcharges apply so that consumers can consider using other payment methods without any additional costs,' Mr Kell said. 'Consumers should also be mindful that payments by contactless or 'tap and go' cards are currently treated as credit card transactions, meaning that fees may apply where there are surcharges in place, even where they are using a debit card.' In ALDI stores all credit card transactions and all tap and go payments attract the 0.5 percent surcharge, irrespective of whether customers use a debit or credit card. An ALDI spokeswoman said it has always charged credit card surcharges to 'cover the costs associated with the service'. 'ALDI is aware there are high costs associated with accepting credit cards,' she said. Aldi told the regulator it would put up signs at the entrance of stores and at registers to notify shoppers of the surcharge, as well as have cashiers inform customers before payments were made .

After filing a civil rights lawsuit against Officer Shawn Izzo and the Metropolitan Police Department,, she told reporters yesterday: 'What happened to me was wrong and I don't want it to happen to anybody else.' Scroll down for video . Tearful: Ariana Mason, 21, relives her ordeal to reporters yesterday. Scars said to be from the attack on her by a police officer last summer can be seen on her chin. Two of her teeth were also broken, she says . Ariana was flanked by her parents, Fred and Francina Mason of Teaneck, New Jersey, plus an aunt from Los Angeles - TV personality Rolonda Watts - and her lawyer Brent Bryson as she relived her ordeal. It was caught on CCTV cameras at The Mirage hotel casino on Las Vegas's strip. According to Ariana's lawsuit, she was subjected to excessive force at the hotel while she was being arrested shortly before 3am on August 16 last year. The lawsuit also noted that Ariana is African-American and Izzo is white. Ariana, who cried while talking to reporters yesterday, told them: 'I just feel as if the color of my skin was different, this wouldn't have happened to me.' Sombre: Ariana looks on as her lawyer holds up a photograph from last August of her battered face .

Jeremy Scott’s spring/summer 2015 collection for Moschino caused an Insta-stampede, nearly breaking the internet when he sent human Barbie dolls down the catwalk. The creative head, who is famed for making kitsch cool, sent his models down the runway in Milan in Barbie doll inspired dresses to the sound of Aqua's iconic 90s hit, I'm A Barbie Girl. As the ultimate dictator of trends, it seems that we may all be wearing bright pink leathers and super girly dresses this season. But does the look work in real life? And will you garner attention for the right reasons? Weighed down by eyelashes, Olivia Phillips, 30, a journalist at Emirates Woman, decided to find out by taking to the streets of Dubai dressed like the iconic doll. Here's how she got on... Scroll down for video . If Moschino's latest collection is anything to go by, Barbie will be our style icon this season. Weighed down by eyelashes, Olivia Phillips took to the streets (and supermarkets) of Dubai dressed as the iconic doll . I’m like a vampire Barbie; I only come out at night. Daylight hours, on the other hand, are a very different story, with me championing a pretty consistent, low-fi uniform of skinny jeans, biker jackets and a scruffy bun. My nocturnal counterpart, however, stands in almost unrecognisable contrast; her heels are high and her hair even higher. So although donning Jeremy Scott’s Barbie-inspired Moschino collection wasn’t as much of an almighty leap for me as it would be for, say, the rest of the world, it still required a certain amount of chutzpah to take it to the streets. Still, I located my audacity and got out there to see exactly how the looks would translate to real life. It only took one Google search to reveal exactly how popular Barbie still is - but a far more entertaining barometer was watching the office’s reaction when a giant box from Moschino arrived at my desk. With the same fervour usually reserved for a Magnolia delivery, I was suddenly surrounded by a cluster of excited, giggling women on the edge. Olivia explained that literally everyone smiled at her. Doors opened for her, small animals and children stared, she got a hand with her shopping and a wink with her Starbucks . Olivia wore the spray-on leather skirt suit to do the weekly shop. Navigating the supermarket aisles, she admits she felt like a saucy Stepford Wife . Everyone had a story to share – from the doll they had in the 1980s wearing the exact same dress, to the toy dreamhouse they used to play in with their sister. That powerful sense of nostalgia, and that unifying, almost categorical common ground, is something not many things could manage. Moschino seems to have achieved it to the next level, creating a collection overflowing with universal happy memories. Indeed, Jeremy Scott said of the collection: 'I approach everything with so much humour.' And as gimmicky as some naysayers may have accused it of being, I now have first-hand experience of its mood-enhancing

Summary: Olivia Phillips, 30, rocked head-to-toe Moschino . Went to the supermarket and an art event - and got lots of attention . People stared, helped her with her shopping and said she looked like a cake .


A former factory girl who earned less than £100 a month is now worth £4.9 billion, and has been named China's richest woman. Zhou Qunfei has shared her incredible 'rags to riches' life story with The People's Daily, after the self-made billionaire's company Lens Technology went public – making her wealthier than Richard Branson. The 45-year-old, whose company supplies protective window glass used in Apple devices, was born into extreme poverty in a village in rural China. Zhou Qunfei, 45, has been named China's richest woman after her company Lens Technology went public . Qunfei's ID badge from when she worked in a factory, making glass for watches. She would send her salary home to her father, who was nearly blinded in an industrial accident. Her mother died when she was five. Her mother died when she was just five years old, and her father was also made blind following an industrial accident. But he encouraged her to study hard to get ahead, and she left home as a teenager to work in a glass-processing factory in Shenzhen, where she was put to work shaping glass for watches. Fed up with her monotonous job, she handed in her resignation after three months – only for her bosses to promote her to a newly-created department. Qunfei said it was perhaps their surprise that a young girl from a rural village was able to write that made them take a chance on her. Bosses at the glass manufacturer where Qunfei started her working life promoted her to head up a new department within the factory after she handed in her notice, having been impressed by the quality of her letter . Qunfei set up Lens Technology when she was just 22 years old. She invented the scratch-resistant glass made by the company after she was inspired when watching how rain would fall on the surface of lotus leaves . 'Maybe it was because my resignation letter was well written and this attracted the attention of the factory supervisor', she said. 'The kept me on and gave me a promotion to head up my own newly created department.' She rose up the ranks to become the director of the whole manufacturing operation, before deciding to set up her own company, aged 22 years old in 1993. It was her rural background that also helped inspire the invention that would help Qunfei make billions. Qunfei says when she was a child she would watch the rain falling on lotus leaves – which later inspired her to create Lens Technology's patented, scratch-resistant coating used on a range of Apple devices. 'Droplets of water would roll around the surface of a lotus leaf and not leave any trace,' she said. 'If it wasn't for my primary school teacher reminding me to be observant I may not have had the inspiration to think of my invention.' Qunfei rented a three-bedroom 'villager apartment' close to Bao'an International Airport to launch her business, using savings of £1,800 from overtime she had completed, as she sent her salary home to her father.

Summary: Zhou Qunfei born in poverty in rural China and started work on shop floor . Quickly promoted before she set up her own company at age of 22 . Her company went public on March 18 and her shares worth £4.9 billion . Patented scratch-persistent glass was inspired by rainfall on lotus leaves .


Tiny babies are more sensitive to pain than adults, according to a study of infants’ brains which overturns the medical consensus. Until now doctors have assumed that the brains of very young babies are not developed enough to feel pain. It means that newborns often go without painkillers, even during invasive procedures. But the new findings, revealed by Oxford University doctors, suggest that not only do babies feel pain, but their pain thresholds are even lower than those of adults. Scroll down for video . Research on infants’ brains by doctors from Oxford University has found that young babies are more sensitive to pain than adults. It overturns the medical consensus that newborns have a high pain threshold (file picture) In the first study of its kind, the researchers showed in brain scans that infants’ brains react in much the same way as adults when given even mild pain. Dr Rebeccah Slater, of Oxford’s department of Paediatrics, said: ‘Obviously babies can’t tell us about their experience of pain and it is difficult to infer pain from visual observations. ‘In fact some people have argued that babies’ brains are not developed enough for them to really “feel” pain, any reaction being just a reflex – our study provides the first really strong evidence that this is not the case.’ The results, published in the journal eLife, suggest that it is possible to see pain ‘happening’ inside the infant brain - and it looks a lot like pain in adults. Up until the 1980s it was common practice for babies to go without pain relief during surgery - they were given neuromuscular blocks to stop them moving, but otherwise were given no pain medication. A landmark study in 1987 suggested for the first time that doctors may have been wrong in their assumptions, and anaesthetics were introduced for major operations. But injections are still given and intravenous drips still inserted without pain relief, and far more serious procedures carried out anything to take away the child’s pain. Even this year, NHS guidelines are still being written that advise doctors to carry out seemingly painful procedures without anything more than ‘a cuddle’. Guidelines for a procedure to treat tongue-tie - a common problem in which the bottom of an infant’s tongue is attached to the mouth - still suggest that no pain relief is needed. The research, which was carried out by doctors from Oxford University (pictured) overturns the medical consensus that very young babies do not feel pain and do not need painkillers, even for invasive procedures . The NHS guidelines, updated in January 2015, advise that when the tongue is sliced from the mouth’s floor, infants do not need medication. Older babies who have already teethed should be given a general anaesthetic, doctors are told. But the guidelines say: ‘In small babies, being cuddled and fed is more important than painkillers.’ Dr Slater called for a review of the way tiny babies are treated. ‘Thousands of babies across the UK undergo painful procedures every day but there are often no local pain management

Summary: Young babies are more sensitive to pain than adults, according to study . Doctors previously assumed very young babies had high pain threshold . New findings by Oxford University shows newborn babies do react to pain .


Holland manager Guus Hiddink has slammed his own supporters for booing Andres Iniesta during his side's 2-0 victory against Spain on Tuesday night and branded them a 'disgrace'. Spain coach Vicente del Bosque fielded an experimental side at the Amsterdam Arena with Iniesta, who started on the bench, entering the fray in the 76th minute to chorus of jeering and boos from the home fans. Centre back Stefan de Vrij and midfielder Davy Klaassen scored first-half goals in the morale-boosting victory, but Hiddink was unimpressed with the way Iniesta was treated. Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta controls the ball during his side's 2-0 defeat by Holland on Tuesday night . 'It's a disgrace,' said Hiddink. 'He's a world class player and a wonderful person. At first I didn't notice it was about him. Was it because of his goal against the Netherlands in 2010? 'It's unbelievable, this is about sport. What was he supposed to do? I can't understand this.' Tuesday night's friendly win was a much-needed boost for Hiddink who has endured a tough start to his second stint as national coach. Holland boss Guus Hiddink slammed the home fans for booing Iniesta after his arrival in the 76th minute . In the seven matches leading up to the victory against Spain, his team had beaten only Kazakhstan and Latvia in European qualifiers and lost to Italy, the Czech Republic, Iceland and Mexico in qualifiers and friendlies. 'I don't have the feeling that there is pressure on my shoulders, ' Hiddink added. 'I don't want to fight against the media any more, I just want to stay focused on football. There are always stories in the press. Stefan de Vrij (second from left) heads past Spain goalkeeper David de Gea to make it 1-0 . Davy Klaassen doubles Holland's advantage after seeing his initial effort saved by Spain goalkeeper De Gea . 'I saw a Netherlands squad that had the guts to play football. Although we made some mistakes, I thought we were pretty good. 'These mistakes are a good lessons for our players because you can't make these against Spain. Luckily they didn't punish us. Kenneth Vermeer saved us a few times and I thought Daley Blind and Klaassen played very well.'

Amanda Knox has said she will work to overturn miscarriages of justice after being sensationally cleared of the murder of Meredith Kercher. Knox said she would lobby on behalf of other innocent people who were jailed ‘because I know how a wrongful conviction can destroy one’s life.’ The American, known as Foxy Knoxy, and former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito served four years for the 2007 murder of the 21-year-old exchange student. Scroll down for video . Cleared: Amanda Knox is pledging to work for others who claim to have suffered miscarriages of justice . They were freed on appeal in 2011 and Knox immediately returned to the US where she rebuilt her life finding love with ex school friend Colin Sutherland. Then last year an appeal court overturned their acquittal finding the pair guilty of the murder again. Victim: Meredith Kercher was killed while in her bed in Perugia in 2007 . In a shocking twist Italy’s highest court last week conclusively cleared the former couple. A third man Rudy Guede is serving a 16 year sentence for the murder. In an open letter to the Seattle Times, Knox said she was ‘relieved and grateful’ that the court had found her innocent. She said she felt ‘lucky’ to have had the support of those belief ‘helped me survive when I was at my most vulnerable and almost entirely lost.’ She only survived the seven year ordeal she said ‘because my dear family gave up their lives to be with me in Italy, because scores of friends donated their resources, because my lawyers worked tirelessly to bring attention to the evidence that exonerated me, because strangers — from world-renowned DNA experts to former FBI crime-scene investigators to everyday citizens — saw the injustice in my case and spoke out.' Because of this she said she felt compelled to ‘give back’. She said: ‘I am all too aware of how lucky I am to have received such strong support. I am also aware that countless other wrongfully convicted persons do not have such support. I will work to give a voice to those individuals. I will do this because I know how a wrongful conviction can destroy one’s life.’ Knox -who was reportedly paid £2.7million ($4million) for her 2013 book Waiting to Be Heard -could be in line for millions in compensation for time wrongly spent in prison. It is thought the amount could reach seven figures. Suspects: Amanda Knox and then boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito kissing shortly after Meredith's death. Rudy Guede (right) is serving a 16 year sentence for the murder . She has already vowed to return to Italy and it is understood that she will write about the country's judicial system while she is there.

Summary: Vowed to lobby on behalf of other innocent people who have been jailed . She served four years for murder of British student Meredith Kercher . Was freed on appeal with former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito . Their acquittal was overturned but was finally cleared by Italy's highest court last week .

The young Syrian girl pictured surrendering to the camera she mistook for a gun is not the only one traumatised by a short life filled with violence and war. Another little girl was photographed in a Jordanian refugee camp, weeping with fear after mistaking an aid worker's camera for a weapon. The photographer who took the heart-breaking image in November did not grasp how terrified she was until he was editing the photographs. It was then Rene Schulthoff realised the girl - alone and barefoot among the metal huts - was so scared of his camera that 'she raised her hands to surrender because she thought it was a weapon'. Scroll down for video . Terrified: A Red Cross worker has pictured another Syrian girl (pictured) who became scared and raised her arms to surrender after mistaking his camera for a weapon . Heart-breaking: Its emergence follows the now-iconic image of four-year-old Hudea who also surrendered to a camera in a Syrian camp late last year . The young girl in Jordan (pictured) - who ran barefoot through the camp's rocky terrain - became immensely frightened when Rene raised his camera . Traumatised: German Red Cross worker Rene Schulthoff did not realise how scared the girl was until he was editing the photographs later - and broke down into tears . Victims: Oblivious to the girl's fear, he continued to photograph other men, women and children who inhabit the camp after fleeing violence in Syria . Tough life: Mr Schulthoff told MailOnline these children 'grow up in permanent fear and under extremely poor conditions' He told MailOnline: 'I had tears in my eyes when I saw her like that on my computer. I was shocked by her reaction, the fear and seeing her crying... It is a tragedy for this young generation.' 'Instead of playing with friends, they grow up in permanent fear under extremely poor conditions missing almost everything. A childhood of pain tears and sadness.' 'They miss a peaceful happy childhood, kindergartens, education and what they learn currently is that life is pure horror.' The Communications Delegate for the German Red Cross regularly visits the camp which is 62 miles east of the capital Amman, but does not know if the nameless girl is there with her family. She is one of 17,000 living in Azraq camp according to the United Nations Refugee Agency - having fled the brutal war that has plagued Syria for over four years. The pictures showing her torment follow the iconic image of another Syrian girl who 'broke millions of hearts' after surrendering to a different cameraman Osman Sagirli. Yesterday, MailOnline exclusively revealed four-year-old Adi Hudea could now be in the hands of Al Qaeda after her family left the Atmeh refugee camp for Idlib. She, her mother and three siblings had been living in the Syrian camp since the young girl's father was killed in the 2012 Hama massacre. 83-year-old Fatima Bakkar (pictured) is one of 17,000 Syrians who inhabits the Azraq camp which is 62 miles east of Jordan's capital Amman .

Mila Kunis is to counter-sue the woman who is suing her for stealing her chicken. The actress and her fiance Ashton Kutcher responded to the impending lawsuit with a tongue-in-cheek video, claiming they were going to file a lawsuit against the accuser Kristina Karo, because of injuries suffered while being forced to watch her music video. On Wednesday the story broke that the 31-year-old was being sued for $5,000 by a woman claiming to be her former childhood friend, who said she suffered emotional trauma when a seven-year-old Kunis stole her pet foul. Fight fire with fire: Mila Kunis has responded to Kristina Karo's accusations she stole her chicken as a child, with a video claiming she will counter-sue for injuries sustained while watching Karo's music video . But within hours Kutcher had posted a video - obtained by TMZ - pointing out some of the holes in Karo's story. 'Let's just get this clear: you stole a chicken from a one-month-old child who spoke to you in an entire conversation,' the 37-year-old declares in the self-shot vid. 'It's just shocking to me. Not only did she have a conversation at one-month old in Ukraine, she was speaking English! This is the smartest girl I've ever heard of!' Kunis herself appears on the clip pointing out that it must be 'just coincidental' he accuser has a new music video out, and is trying to launch a singing career here in LA. Foul play: The reason for Karo's lawsuit 25 years after the 'theft' is that moving to LA, which is where Kunis also lives, has brought back memories of losing 'Doggie' for Karo and forced her back into therapy . 'I was devastated. I was weeping. I was dumbfounded. I was like "which chicken did I steal?" because I was obviosly in the village when I stole these chickens. So I apologise to this woman who was maybe or maybe not a month old,' she said. The Jupiter Ascending star admits that she has yet to be physically served the documents, and then reveals she is preparing her own counter-suit. 'But emotionally I feel served. I would like to launch a counter $5,000 lawsuit for making me sit there and watch you music video, shamelessly. My body hurts. My eyes hurt, they're burning. That requires money.' 'No Green Card for you,' Kutcher admonishes into the camera, in response to her song title plea Give Me Green Card, which currently has almost 170k views on YouTube. The couple then turn semi-serious to address the charges. 'I feel like I will be a chicken fighter for a very long time. I will be an advocate. I would never steal someone else's chicken. I wouldn't, I wouldn't,' Kunis insists. 'Listen folks, I believe this woman, I know her pretty well, I believe that shes an ethical person that wouldn't steal a chicken,' Kutcher adds. 'So you have it right from the horse's... the chicken's mouth.' Not a bad egg: Mila Kunis, seen here with partner Ashton Kutcher in Los Angeles, had being accused of chicken

Noelle Reno, socialite, reality TV star and former fiancee of businessman Scot Young, has broken her silence almost four months to the day since his death. She confirms she had split up with her partner of five years before he fell out of her fourth-floor flat window in London’s Marylebone on to the railings below. In a move bound to spark further controversy she also labels his death a ‘suicide’, pre-empting any coroner’s verdict. Socialite Noelle Reno, who is the former fiancee of businessman Scot Young who fell 60ft from his West London home last year, has broken her silence almost four months to the day since his horrific death . The tycoon was killed after falling 60ft from his multi-million pound apartment onto metal railings (pictured) The inquest was adjourned in December and no date has yet been set to re-open it. ‘Four days before we were to depart from Waterloo to Brussels somebody very close to me, named Scot Young, unexpectedly committed suicide,’ Reno writes in a blog post entitled ‘Coping with grief’, explaining she had been due to travel to Belgium with girlfriends. ‘Scot and I had recently broken up after five and a half years of being together, for most of which we were engaged.’ Reno, who was a regular on reality TV show Ladies Of London, was spotted out in metallic shorts at a Knightsbridge soiree last month, her first public outing since the tragedy. Reno, 31, called the police after she and Young had a blazing row and he later fell from the window. He had been involved in one of the UK’s most acrimonious divorce cases with his ex-wife Michelle after claiming to have lost all of his money in a mysterious Russian property deal, and there was speculation he might have been murdered. His was the latest in a series of ‘apparent’ suicides of a group of businessmen that some believe are linked to the Russian mafia. Ms Reno said in a blog post that her former partner 'unexpectedly committed suicide', despite an inquest into the cause of his death not yet being concluded. Pictured: The property from which he fell last year . Mr Young (left) had been involved in one of the UK’s most acrimonious divorce cases with his ex-wife Michelle (right), after claiming to have lost all of his money in a mysterious Russian property deal . Just one month before Young died, his friend Johnny Elichaoff, the ex-husband of TV presenter Trinny Woodall, fell to his death from a roof in West London. Reno, who had embarked on a project of visiting 12 countries in 12 months at the beginning of last year, inspired by the Julia Roberts film Eat Pray Love, says that travelling helped her come to terms with her ex-fiance’s death. ‘I look forward to exploring this new journey in more depth as I come in to a new stage in my life,’ she says.

Summary: Noelle Reno believes former fiancee intended to jump from London home . Scot Young, 52, died after falling and becoming impaled on metal railings .

The superstitious will know – or perhaps those who have seen Alfred Hitchcock's classic film The Birds – that a bird in the house is a bad omen and one that is said to equate to death. So a family in Texas would be forgiven for being slightly put out about the fact that their home became infested with them. According to the video maker, who returns home with the other people in the clip to find the infestation, the birds came in through the chimney. The video maker stated that he initially thought the intruders were bats but now believes them to be sparrows . Capturing them on camera as they fly around the room, the man remains very calm while narrating on the carnage before him – birds crashing into the walls and flying overhead. He says: ‘There are birds everywhere, what the hell, look at this,’ before reiterating his point and recoiling as one crashes into him. A female voice then speaks out – also extremely calmly considering the fact the front room has been turned into an aviary. Despite the infestation of birds in their front room, the family remain very calm throughout the video . According to the video maker the birds managed to invade the house through the chimney . The lady says: ‘Careful not to step on them,’ as the video maker points out that some of the birds appear to be dying, as they lie on the ground. The filmmaker then states: ‘This is awful,’ and suggests that the group need to find a way to get the birds out of the house. The video concludes with the filmmaker continuing to record the birds as they circle the room and bounce off the walls. The video maker states that the scene is awful as a number of birds crash into the walls and end up on the floor . According to the video maker there were around 30 birds in the front room when the group came home. Speaking on another video, he also states that he initially thought they were bats before realising they were birds and potentially sparrows.

Summary: Family stay remarkably calm as birds fly around the room . Video maker says 'this is awful' as they bounce off the walls . He then contemplates how he is going to get rid of them . The bizarre footage was recorded at the family home in Texas .
