Samantha Fleming was asleep in the Indiana apartment she shared with her boyfriend and newborn daughter when the doorbell rang on April 6. On the other side, police say, was a professionally dressed woman carrying a binder who introduced herself to Fleming's boyfriend as a Department of Child Services worker on a surprise visit. But authorities say the woman, Geraldine R. Jones, never worked for the child-welfare agency and that her visit to Fleming's apartment in Anderson, about 30 miles north of Indianapolis, was part of an elaborate scheme to take the 17-day-old baby and claim the girl as her own. Why Jones targeted Fleming, and why the young mother and her daughter, Serenity, left the apartment with her, were key questions in a mystery police continued trying to unravel Tuesday. Scroll down for video . Elaborate plot: Geraldine Jones, 36, of Gary, Indiana (left), has been charged with murder, kidnapping and criminal confinement over the death of new mom Samantha Fleming, 23 (right) Kidnapped: Investigators say Jones pretended to be a social worker in order to steal Fleming's daughter, Serenity (pictured), and claim the child as her own after faking a pregnancy . Scene: Fleming's body was found by police at the home belonging to Jones in in Gary, Indiana. The body had been doused with bleach, put in a garbage bag that was duct taped and hidden in a plastic bin inside a closet . Anderson Police Sgt. Chad Boynton said Jones, who was hospitalized for depression and suicidal thoughts, had refused to speak with detectives. Chief Deputy Prosecutor Steve Koester said Jones has waived extradition and is expected to be returned to Madison County by April 30. Family members of Jones and Fleming didn't return calls seeking comment this week. But a probable cause affidavit released Tuesday shed light into the young mother's disappearance and painted a picture of a suspect who claimed she was pregnant, had furnished a home nursery with baby furniture and baby clothes and had either hosted or been the recipient of a baby shower. According to the affidavit, Jones, 36, arrived at the apartment Fleming and her boyfriend, Rainey Stanley, shared and identified herself as a child services worker. She told Fleming she needed her to go to Gary for a hearing and said it would look better if she brought Serenity with her. That was the last time, Stanley told police, that he saw Fleming alive. Police say they believe Jones targeted Fleming but haven't indicated why she would have masqueraded as a child services worker or how she would have been familiar with Fleming's family situation. Killed: Police say Fleming, 23, was lured from her home by Jones and brought Serenity with her . Boynton said Fleming had had previous contact with the Department of Child Services, but details weren't available Tuesday. DCS spokesman James Wide declined to comment, citing privacy laws. Anderson Police Detective Scott Sanderson said that when Fleming didn't return, police began trying to track her cellphone to locate her and the baby. The affidavit said several text messages

Apple is thought to have sold more than one million of its smartwatches in the first 24 hours it was available for pre-order. But UK buyers who are prepared to wait to get their hands on the eagerly anticipated wearable may want to snap up an Apple Watch on holiday, because Britain is the most expensive place in the world to buy one. The most expensive Edition model costs up to £2,500 more in the UK compared to elsewhere in the world, while at the lower end of the scale British buyers pay up to £63 more for the Sport model. Britain is the most expensive place in the world in buy the Apple Watch. The three models are pictured above. The Sport, shown left is round £63 more expensive in the UK than the US and there is a difference in price of over £1,230 when it comes to the luxurious Watch Edition (right) The gadget is available to pre-order in nine countries. The cheapest model is the 38mm Sport version and costs £299 in the UK. In the US, the same model costs $349, but this doesn't include sales tax. Sales tax in the US depends on the region where the product is sold, but as an example California has one of the highest rates - at 9% - while Montana has zero. With both of these sales taxes added to the price of the Sports model in the US, the total cost works out at $380.41 (£257) and $349 (£236) in the respective states. This is a difference of £42 when bought in California, compared to the UK, and £63 when compared to Montana. The effect is magnified for the top-of-the-range Edition version, which costs from £8,000 for the 38mm model in Britain, compared to a starting price of $10,000 in the US. At the time of writing, $10,000 converts to £6,769 - which equates to a difference of £1,231 before charges are taken into account. The most expensive version of the 38mm edition in the UK is £13,500 in the UK, and $17,000 in the US. When sales taxes are added to the US model, the price rises to $18,530 in California, which converts to £12,543 - a difference of £957. All prices shown in the table above are for the most expensive option in each model and region. Prices also include all relevant sales taxes. Beneath each foreign price is the conversion rate in GBP. In the US, California was chosen because it has one of the highest sales taxes at 9%, while Montana was chosen for the opposite end of the scale because it doesn't have a sales tax. Quebec in Canada has one of the highest sales taxes at 15%, while Alberta has one of the lowest at 5%. Prices and conversions were correct at the time of writing. But the difference isn't just visible between the UK and US. In Australia, for example, the most expensive 38mm Edition costs $21,000 AUD, which converts to £10,832 - a difference of around £2,665 compared to the

Summary: Apple's Sport, Watch and Edition wearables are cheaper in US and Europe . The Edition costs up £1,100 more in the UK than it does in the US . But British prices include VAT, while US sales tax is added on top . Customers could save up to £63 buying the Sport abroad too .


FBI director James Comey has caused huge offense to a key U.S. ally by using language that suggested that Poland was an accomplice in the Holocaust. Poles are waiting to see if Comey would issue an apology — something that hadn't happened by late Monday. Polish Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna said he expected him to say sorry so the matter can be settled. Comey said last week, 'In their minds, the murderers and accomplices of Germany, and Poland, and Hungary, and so many, many other places didn't do something evil. 'They convinced themselves it was the right thing to do, the thing they had to do. That's what people do. And that should truly frighten us.' FBI director James Comey, pictured at a news conference last month, has caused huge offense to a U.S. ally by using language to suggest that Poles were accomplices in the Holocaust . Comey's comments are particularly offensive to Poles not only because they had no role in running Auschwitz and other death camps where Jews were murdered during World War II, but because they were themselves victims of the Third Reich. In all, 6 million Polish citizens were killed during the war, about half of them Jewish and the other half Christians, with many Polish priests, members of the intelligentsia and political resistance killed in Auschwitz and elsewhere. Poland also had a committed anti-Nazi resistance movement and Polish fighters fought alongside the Allies throughout the war. Poles see themselves as heroes of the war who have never been properly recognized, making comments like Comey's hurt even more. Comey originally delivered the remarks on Wednesday at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in arguing for the importance of Holocaust education. The speech was adapted for an article published in The Washington Post on Thursday. U.S. Ambassador Stephen Mull attends ceremonies marking the 72nd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, in front of the monument to the Heroes of the Ghetto, in Warsaw, Poland, on Sunday, April 19, 2015 . The Polish reaction was swift. On Sunday, the U.S. ambassador to Poland, Stephen Mull, was called to the Foreign Ministry in a formal act of protest on the 72nd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Mull, a well-liked figure in Poland, went into damage-control mode. 'Saying that Poland and any other country other than Nazi Germany were responsible for the Holocaust is a mistake, is harmful and is offensive,' Mull said. 'Director Comey certainly did not mean to suggest that Poland was in any way responsible for those crimes.' In Washington, U.S. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf later echoed that sentiment, saying that 'Poles certainly bore a huge brunt of the barbarism of Nazi Germany.' 'Director Comey certainly did not intend to suggest otherwise, did not intend to suggest that Poland was in some way responsible for the Holocaust,' she said. The FBI had no immediate comment on the matter. Polish leaders all had something to say about the controversy. 'To those who are incapable of presenting the historic truth in an honest way, I want to say that

Summary: FBI director James Comey suggested in remarks last week that Poles were accomplices during the holocaust . Comey's comments are offensive to Poles as they had no role in running death camps and were themselves victims of the Third Reich . Poles see themselves as heroes of the war who have never been properly recognized, making the comments yet more hurtful . The remarks came shortly before the 72nd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which was commemorated on Sunday . The U.S. ambassador to Poland, Stephen Mull, was called to the Foreign Ministry in a formal act of protest . The incident echoes a gaffe by President Obama in 2012 when he referred to 'a Polish death camp' - he offered his regrets for the error .


Local police chief Terry Rozema spoke out on Wednesday to defend his officer and argue that deadly force was necessary . An Arizona police chief has voiced his support for his officer after dashcam footage emerged of him mounting a sidewalk in his speeding police car and knocking down an armed suspect. Video of the February 19 incident emerged on Tuesday and shows a cop car running into a suspect walking down a street in Marana, northwest of Tucon, with a rifle. Local police chief Terry Rozema spoke out on Wednesday to defend his officer and argue that deadly force was necessary. Speaking to CNN, Rozema was asked if Officer Michael Rapiejko was fortunate not to kill suspect Mario Valencia, 36. 'That very well may be... that it's luck that he is still alive. The fact of the matter remains, though, deadly force was authorized,' Rozema said. 'So if he ends up dying in that situation, (then) he ends up dying, and that's unfortunate, (but) that's not the desire of everybody,' the chief added. The footage has further stirred debate about the type of force it is appropiate for police to use. This latest incident following cell phone footage earlier this month capturing South Carolina police officer Michael Slager fatally shotting Water Scott, 50, five times in the back as he was running away. In this latest video, Valencia is captured walking along a street in Marana, carrying what appears to be a rifle. He points the loaded weapon into the air and a shot rings out. WARNING: GRAPHIC FOOTAGE . Scroll down for videos . Deliberate act: Valencia (pictured, left, in his mug shot) remained in hospital for two days before being booked into jail. Police have since spoken out in defense of Rapiejko's actions in the town of Marana, Arizona . Target: The police officer in the other vehicle warns Rapiejko that the suspect is loaded and tells him to 'stand off'. But in apparent defiance of his advice, Rapiejo drives straight toward unsuspecting Valencia (pictured) Horrific: Seconds later, Rapiejo's vehicle mounts the curb (pictured) and smashes into the suspect's body . Hit: In this screen grab, from the dashcam video, Valenica appears to turn toward the car as it strikes him . A police officer in one of the patrol cars says: 'One round just went out. He's definitely loaded.' He then tells his colleague, Officer Michael Rapiejko, in the other vehicle: 'Stand off, the gun is loaded.' But apparently ignoring his advice, Rapiejko overtakes the officer's car, before speeding straight toward Valencia. Seconds later, his vehicle mounts the curb and smashes into the suspect's body. Valencia is sent flying into the air, while the car crashes through a concrete wall before coming to a halt amid debris. The other officer can be heard shouting in shock: 'Oh! Jesus Christ, man down.' At the end of the footage, obtained by KOLD, Rapiejko is captured emerging from his vehicle and approaching Valencia, while other cops exit their own cars with their guns raised. Valencia was rushed to University of Arizona

Summary: Arizona police chief Terry Rozema has voiced his support for his officer after dashcam footage emerged . Officer Michael Rapiejko is seen mounting a sidewalk in his speeding police car and knocking down armed suspect Mario Valencia . Pozema argued that Rapiejko may actually have saved Valencia's life because we don't know what he would have done next . 'We don't know that if (Rapiejko) lets him go for another 10 seconds, (Valencia) doesn't take somebody out in the parking lot,' Rozema said .


A down-on-their-luck couple from Ohio struggling with chronic conditions that left them unable to make a living were found dead from self-inflicted carbon monoxide poisoning this week, less than two months after their desperate pleas for help went ignored. Randy and Jodi Speidel, from Bellefontaine, created online fundraisers on GiveFroward.com and GoFundMe.com in late February begging Good Samaritans for financial help. Mrs Speidel wrote that they had been living without gas all winter, had no running water and were close to having their electricity and Internet service shut off. Hopeless: Randy and Jodi Speidel, from Bellefontaine, Ohio, took their own lives this week, more than two months after they created online fundraisers begging for financial help . Heartbreaking: The middle-aged couple died from self-inflicted carbon monoxide poisoning caused by two charcoal grills they had dragged into their bedroom . Last-ditch effort: Mrs Speidel wrote on GiveForward.com in late February that they had been living without gas all winter, had no running water and cut down their food intake to one meal a day . After having paid $500 to their landlord to prevent their immediate eviction, Mrs Speidel stated that they were left with only $33 to their name. To stretch their meager funds a little farther, the impoverished, ailing couple were forced to limit their food intake to a single meal a day and did not have enough scraps to feed their two cats. ‘I have turned in every direction possible and don’t know what else to do,’ she wrote. ‘If you can help, we will be forever grateful and will even pay you back once we get back on our feet.’ The Speidles were hoping to raise $1,000, but the online campaign failed to draw any donations whatsoever. On Tuesday, the couple's landlord, Doug Elleman, arrived at their rental at 225 West High Avenue to discover a pink handwritten note warning passersby of carbon monoxide inside, reported Bellefontaine Examiner. Firefighters who were called to the scene entered the residence and discovered a pair of charcoal grills filled with smoldering coals. Jodi Speidel, 46, and her 45-year-old husband, Randy, were pronounced dead at the scene. Orpahns: The couple leave behind two daughters, Randa (pictured right as a baby with her father) and 20-year-old Kira Speidel . Columbus Dispatch reported that a note found nearby confirmed that the husband and wife had made a suicide pact. The couple had removed their beloved pet cats from the house to spare their lives. They were later found wandering outside. The couple leave behind two daughters, Randa and Kira Speidel. In a post left last month on her parents' GoFundMe.com page, which has since been removed, 20-year-old Kira called the couple 'the hardest-working people I know.' She went on to say that now that they can no longer work because of their physical ailments, 'they have nowhere to run.' Police Chief Brandon Standley said the town has resources available for people in need like the Speidels, adding that it's tragic that they thought they were all out of options. In one of her online pleas,

A magnitude 3.1 earthquake caused a sharp jolt to be felt across a well-populated area just north of Los Angeles. The US Geological Survey said in a preliminary report that the quake with a depth of about five miles happened just before 9pm last night, according to the Associated Press. It was centered about four miles north of San Fernando near Interstate 210. The epicentre of the quake was around four miles north of San Fernando near Interstate 210, according to the US Geological Survey . The earthquake caused a 'sharp jolt' to be felt in the San Fernando Valley (pictured) north of Los Angeles . The jolt was felt widely in the San Fernando Valley and parts of northern Los Angeles County. There was no reported damage or injuries and police and fire departments say there were no problems reported. The quake came three days after a magnitude 3.5 earthquake hit the west Los Angeles neighborhood of Baldwin Hills. It happened around 9.17pm and reverberated across the city. Residents on social media described it as a 'quick jolt'. Earlier in the day at 4.35pm a smaller 2.5 magnitude quake hit the same area. That quake was initially reported as a 2.9 magnitude tremor, but was later downgraded by the US Geological Survey. There were no reports of injuries or damages from either incident. Los Angelenos are used to such small tremors, due to the city's positioning on several fault lines.

Is this confirmation that Angel Di Maria is happy as a Manchester United player? The 27-year-old has endured a mixed start to his United career on-and-off the pitch since joining the club last summer - which has included an attempted burglary at his family home in Cheshire back in February. The midfielder has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford as a result, but speculation about his future could be squashed following his latest tattoo.

Eddie Hearn has insisted his £1.5million purse offer to Carl Frampton comes with no strings attached, but efforts to make a super-fight with Scott Quigg remain deadlocked. Hearn unveiled a cheque with his offer to Sky TV cameras in a bid to force a deal with the IBF super-bantamweight champion, as the Matchroom promoter upped the ante in a bid to book a July 18 date at Manchester Arena. However, Frampton’s promoters, Cyclone Promotions, headed by former world champ Barry McGuigan, released a press release in response to the offer, claiming they were awaiting formal communication from Hearn’s Matchroom Sports before renewing negotiations over the much-hyped bout. Eddie Hearn presents the cheque for £1.5m to set-up Scott Quigg's fight with Carl Frampton . Matchroom Sport boss Hearn said the cheque offered 1.5m reasons for the two boxers to fight . Quigg stares down the camera to tell Frampton to 'put his money where his mouth is' TV rights were believed to be a major stumbling block in negotiations as Matchroom are tied to Sky Sports, while Frampton’s recent title defence against Chris Avalos attracted millions of viewers between ITV in the UK and UTV Ireland. Now Hearn has seemingly attempted to force the fight with a big-money offer in the hope that the bout can be screened on Sky Box Office. While past negotiations were believed to have collapsed due to a failure to agree a deal on future promotional ‘options’ on fights, the Matchroom promoter also insisted he has not demanded rights to promote Frampton’s future fights. ‘Nothing at all — no options, no rematch clause, absolutely nothing,’ Hearn told Sportsmail when questioned on whether such terms were included in his £1.5m offer. ‘He can have this fight, he can go back to whatever broadcaster he wants [after it]. He can go and move to the moon if he wants, it’s nothing to do with us.’ Quigg is the defending WBA super-bantamweight champion and wants to fight Frampton in Manchester . Quigg celebrates his win over Hidenori Othake at the Liverpool Echo Arena in November last year . McGuigan declined to comment further on the saga when contacted by Sportsmail, refusing to elaborate on Cyclone Promotions’ statement which said they ‘have made several attempts to organise a follow-up meeting with Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport to progress these negotiations’. The Cyclone statement added: ‘If Matchroom Sport are interested in joining Cyclone Promotions in staging this domestic superfight, we recommend Matchroom accept the invitation for a follow-up meeting.’ Hearn countered the Cyclone statement, telling Sportsmail: ‘We just want to get it done, it’s so frustrating… I know their statement said we turned down another meeting but that’s because it was getting nowhere. We’re trying to make things happen. ‘The only thing that Cyclone Promotions want is they want to co-promote the show. We’re bringing all the money, we’re putting all the money up,’ said the Matchroom promoter. ‘If there was another broadcaster that they were willing to work with, who could throw a load of money at this fight, then make us

Summary: Eddie Hearn has offered Carl Frampton £1.5m to fight Scott Quigg . The Matchroom promoter is keen on finalising a deal for the super-fight . Fight date has been pencilled in for July 18 at Manchester Arena . Hearn insists 'there will be no options, no rematch clause'


For the 160,000 people crammed into Churchill Downs on Derby Day, picture-taking can run neck-and-neck with betting and sipping mint juleps amid a winning field of photo opportunities: sleek racehorses, daring fashion statements, celebrities and the twin spires. But this year, they'd better not use selfie sticks. Joining a growing list of museums, music festivals and sports venues around the world, the iconic Louisville track hosting the 141st running of the Kentucky Derby on May 2 has banned the pole-like contraptions that grasp cellphones and allow people a longer reach to snap their self-portraits. Churchill Downs, which hosts the annual Kentucky Derby on May 1st and 2nd, has banned the use of selfie sticks by attendees. Above, a woman poses for a normal selfie at last year's race . Selfie sticks' increasing popularity has left cultural institutions and sporting events with decisions about balancing patrons desire to photograph themselves with safety concerns (File photo, Jan. 2015) Other events such as the Coachella and Lollapalooza music festivals also have banned the photo aids. Prominent museums including the Smithsonian and the National Gallery of Art in Washington prohibit their use. Selfie sticks aren't allowed inside Yankee Stadium. Some English Premier League soccer teams make the devices off-limits, and the Australian Open tennis tournament discourages fans from using them court-side. Churchill Downs encourages selfies and the avalanche of social media attention they can generate. But banishing selfie sticks is a safety measure to protect the horses and the massive crowd on Derby Day, track spokesman John Asher said. 'I don't think it's a huge sacrifice for anybody who loves to take a selfie,' Asher said. 'You'll still be able to take a selfie. You just won't be able to take one of yourself as if your arms were nine feet long.' The popularity of self sticks has spread wildly over the past several years, sending elf-photographers armed with smartphones into the world looking to catch themselves in just the right light. Now cultural institutions and public spaces with large numbers of people have been faced with the choice of allowing the technological toys or sticking to plans that keep patrons and facilities safe. Several big name organizations have already quashed the dreams of amateur photographers looking to snap themselves with priceless art or a Premier League match, though less gadget-savvy attendees probably thank them for it. The list of places where the devices are banned already includes dozens of venues and is growing, according to Yahoo. Below are ten prominent entries. Churchill Downs in Kentucky . Coachella Music Festival in southern California . The Getty Center in Los Angeles . The Hermitage in Amsterdam . Lollapalooza Music Festival in Chicago . Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York . Museum of Modern Art in New York . The National Gallery in London . Premier League stadiums including those for Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham . Nineteen different Smithsonian museums in Washington DC . Yankee Stadium in New York . A spokesman for Churchill Downs said that the selfie stick ban was designed to

Summary: Racing grounds bans selfie sticks for May 2nd Derby Day and all live races . Ban sparked by safety concerns for horses, roughly 160,000 spectators . Museums are banning the technological toys as they become more popular .

They are currently two points from safety but face three fellow strugglers Hull City, Leicester City and Aston Villa in their final six fixtures. They have played seven teams at the top of the table in their last eight games. Aaron Ramsey (right) scored the only goal of the game, but it was enough to secure three points . The Welsh midfielder points to the sky as he celebrates putting Arsenal into a early 1-0 lead . 'We have six big games coming and we have shown this season we can score goals,' he said. 'We are not naïve. We are willing and have an appetite to succeed.' 'The outside world thought we might not take anything from our last seven games. There are teams around us who are having an awkward time and maybe they feel the next matches more than us. 'It could well go do the wire. I am only concerned about us. I know if our performances are right, we will win games. I think we have measured ourselves well against the top sides and now there are going to be different type of games, edgy games.' Burnley were unlucky not to draw level after this acrobatic attempt was saved by David Ospina .

Summary: Arsene Wenger admits he can see why top teams have struggled against Burnley . Arsenal needed an Aaron Ramsey strike to earn narrow victory at Turf Moor . Wenger hails Burnley's 'solidarity and organisation'


Dick Advocaat says Jermain Defoe’s wonder goal has set Sunderland on their way to Premier League survival – but Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul has been criticised for appearing to congratulate the derby match-winner. The Holland international waited in the tunnel for Defoe at half-time, seconds after he had smashed the stunning 20-yard volley which decided yesterday’s Tyne-Wear clash. Krul smiled and exchanged a fist pump with Defoe, although he later defended his actions. Sportsmail's Jamie Carragher claimed Newcastle keeper Tim Krul made a mistake after congratulating Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe on his goal before half-time . Krul smiles at Defoe shortly after the striker's goal gave the Black Cats the lead in the Wear-Tyne derby . Carragher criticised Krul for his half-time actions while speaking on Sky Sports after the game . However, former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher was not impressed, as he said: ‘When you watch Newcastle, Tim Krul does look like one of the leaders of the team, but what he did was a mistake. ‘I wouldn't want to see one of my own team doing it. It's not good sportsmanship. Someone without passion for the game might say it is. When you play a derby game, you don't just play on the day, there is a build-up in the week and everyone is on edge. ‘You build yourself into a frenzy where you despise the opposition. At the end of the game you shake hands with everyone, you wouldn't smile.’ Carragher was backed up by his ex-Liverpool team-mate Danny Murphy, who said: 'He shouldn't have done that, you do that at the end of the game. That was out of order.' But Krul countered: 'What I actually thought, I probably can't repeat because it wasn't nice. 'It was a fantastic goal and everyone accepts that, but what I actually thought was more in the region of “what a lucky guy he is”, but with a bit more venom behind it. ‘I've been at this club for 10 years and I'm as hurt as anybody else, so whoever wants to put this negative light on me, it's not justified. 'I'm a Geordie. I've been here 10 years and I'm going home with a lot of pain in my heart. To see those travelling fans going back to Newcastle without a win again, it hurts me as much as them.' Defoe (left) hit a stunning volley on the cusp of half-time to give Sunderland the lead against Newcastle . Defoe celebrates his strike which helped the Black Cats to victory in the Wear-Tyne derby . Sunderland’s victory was their fifth on the spin in this fixture and moved them three points clear of the relegation zone. New boss Advocaat believes it has gone a long way to ensuring their safety. ‘I have always said we will survive, but we had to win today,’ said the 67-year-old, who will leave at the end of the season regardless of which division Sunderland are in. ‘There was a lot of pressure on the team but I got a great feeling when we arrived here

Pablo Mandado and Ilze Zebolde have no plans, no agenda, no cause to fight for and they are certainly in no hurry – the couple simply has a dream to ‘discover different parts of this planet a pedal at a time.’ And, after quitting their restaurant jobs in Manchester, the intrepid cyclists are doing it as cheaply as they possibly can. Spanish Pablo, 27, and Latvian Ilze, 31, who met in Riga in 2011, are off to a flying start as they approach their first year of their open-ended odyssey on the road. In 356 days so far they’ve covered almost 7,000 miles (11,131.92km by their measurements) and been through 16 countries. Ilze Zebolde, 31, takes in her surrounds as she and Pablo Mandado take a break in their cycle journey around the world . Pablo, 27, and Ilze, 31, stop for a picture in Bosnia, one of the 16 countries they've been through since leaving London last year . Latvian Ilze sets up camp, the most common means of accommodation for her and Pablo, on the stunning Lake Bled in Slovenia . Ilze points at the winding road that she and Pablo had climb in Spain's Sierra Nevada with their 130kg of gear (including bicycles) With no plans or agenda, Ilze and Pablo are happy to stop and take in stunning views, such as this from a roadside in the French Alps . In that time they have been astonishingly living on less than three euros each a day, or by their meticulous calculations 10 euro cents per kilometre. They keep costs down by relying on free accommodation, along with not needing a budget for transport – their legs have that covered. Usually they pitch a tent under the stars and camp (161 nights of the 256) but also use hosting websites such as Couchsurfing (66 nights) and Warmshowers (44 nights). Sometimes, they get a good night’s sleep courtesy of the kindness of strangers. Showers are ‘sometimes daily, sometimes weekly,’ admits Pablo. This leaves food as their only major expense, and that takes up just 2.74 euros each per day of their 2.99 total outlay. Ilze often stars in their images with Pablo the designated photographer, but she doesn't seem to mind after another hill climb . Pablo gives up his camera for a moment, though, as Latvian Ilze captures her Spanish boyfriend taking a rest on the road . While they often pitch their tent in stunning settings, this pedestrian tunnel during their journey through Turkey isn't one of them . Rolling green hills and a shimmering lake greeted the duo in the Alps as their open-ended odyssey continued . Cheapest countries . Montenegro 1.65 . Italy 2.02 . Greece 2.18 . Most expensive . England 5.11 . Croatia 4.48 . France 4.11 . Per person, per day . When asked on their blog, TheCrazyTravel, how they can possibly live like this, Pablo answered simply. ‘Pasta, bread, rice, eggs, milk, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Often we get invited for a meal, or for some free veggies or fruits,’ he said.

Summary: Pablo Mandado and Ilze Zebolde left London last year on a quest to explore the world on bicycles . They camp or stay with Couchsurfing and Warmshowers hosts and spent an average €2.99 per day . Pablo, from Spain, and Ilze, from Latvia, moved to Manchester together after meeting in Riga in 2011 . They saved up for their travels, which they share on their website, while working in English restaurants .


It is a conversation that will be familiar to couples across the country. What one spouse thinks is a 'discussion', the other understands they are being over-ruled. In a joint interview with his high flying lawyer wife Miriam Gonzalez Durantez, Nick Clegg revealed the balance of power lies where many long suspected: with her. After the last election, Mr Clegg was given the option of moving his family into a grace-and-favour government mansion - but the move was vetoed by his wife. After controversies over David Cameron's large country kitchen and Ed Miliband's small second kitchen, the couple invited the cameras into the kitchen of their £1.5million family home in Putney, south west London for ITV's Tonight programme.

'We discussed and thought the best thing would be for the children to stay here. Revealingly, Mr Clegg quipped: 'Discussion's a rather grand word for Miriam basically saying no.' But he quickly added: 'You were so right, you were so right.' However, the couple believe that choosing to remain in their family home has stopped them from becoming cut off from the rest of the world. Mrs Clegg said: 'If you look at it with perspective it has been the best decision for all of us and if I may, also for Nick as well because you can see how politicians sometimes can get in a bubble and be completely distant from normal society and I think if you’re in your house in your neighbourhood, it’s much easier really.'

Nick Clegg today pleaded with Labour and Tory supporters to vote tactically to stop Alex Salmond in his tracks. In a highly-unusual move, the Lib Dem leader urged his rivals to help stop Mr Salmond from 'strutting his stuff' in Westminster. The former Scottish First Minister hopes to make a return to the Commons as MP for Gordon by ousting the Lib Dems who have held the seat for more than 30 years. Nick Clegg, who today visited diving equipment manufacturer Divex Global in Aberdeen, urged supporters of rival parties to help stop Alex Salmond returning to Parliament . Polls suggest the Lib Dems face near-wipeout in Scotland, with senior figures including Treasury minister Danny Alexander under threat from a surge in support for the SNP. Mr Salmond has chosen to stand in the Gordon constituency, where veteran Lib Dem Sir Malcolm Bruce is standing down. Today Mr Clegg was campaigning in Scotland, including a visit to a diving equipment manufacturer in Aberdeen. Alex Salmond has chosen to stand in the Gordon constituency, where veteran Lib Dem Sir Malcolm Bruce is standing down . He spoke out in support of new Lib Dem candidate in Gordon, Christine Jardine. He appealed 'to all those voters, they may be Labour voters, they may be Conservative voters, but voters who simply don't want to have their vote taken for granted by Alex Salmond'. He added: 'If you want to stop Alex Salmond pocketing your vote and dancing off to strut his stuff on the Westminster stage, the only way to stop him is to vote for Christine Jardine as the next MP for Gordon.' Sir Malcolm had held Gordon for the Lib Dems since 1983, but the scale of the challenge facing Mr Clegg's party was illustrated by a Lord Ashcroft poll in January which put the SNP on 43 per cent with the Lib Dems on 26 per cent. Mr Clegg warned that the SNP wanted to reopen 'old wounds' from the divisive independence referendum campaign that had strained families, friendships and communities. The Lib Dem leader said: 'That referendum was fought over months and years, it was fought with passion and vigour on all sides. 'But, let's be honest, it placed some strain on communities. Friendships were placed under strain as people differed on that fundamental thing. Even relationships within families were put under strain. 'The people of Scotland don't want to turn the clock back and reopen those wounds about that debate, they want to move forward.' Mr Clegg told reporters that the SNP offered the 'politics of division'. He said: 'When I speak to people in Gordon and elsewhere, they say 'Let's move on' - they don't want the politics of division from the nationalists, they want the politics of hope, of unity, of continuity.' Mr Clegg warned that the SNP wanted to reopen 'old wounds' from the divisive independence referendum campaign that had strained families, friendships and communities . Mr Clegg said it was 'possible' that the Lib Dems could come out of the election with more seats than Labour

Justin Rose might just have made the most important pencil mark of his entire career to put himself in contention at Augusta this weekend. The 2013 US Open champion ended the day on seven under, sharing third place and is one of a handful of players hanging on to the coat tails of runaway leader Jordan Spieth. But it took a neat bit of psychology to rescue his round after a disastrous start as he tried to build on his opening-day 67. Rose bogeyed three of the first four holes, finding himself playing from the trees as he recovered from wayward tee shots. And that was where the magic pencil line came to his rescue. He revealed: ‘I was feeling really uncomfortable with my game, so I drew a line on my scorecard at that point, like you draw a line in the sand. Justin Rose battled back from a nightmare start and is in contention at Augusta . Rose tees off at the 18th as he now sits joint third, seven shots behind runaway leader Jordan Spieth . Rose flips his club after hitting from a trap on the 13th during a decent round for the Englishman . ‘I told myself to move on and take one shot at a time. I made a great birdie at the 5th and that rallied me, and after that I played with the same rhythm as the first day.’ The dramatic transformation was then followed by a spectacular back nine with birdies at both par threes, putting tee shots to within a few feet of the hole both times. And 34-year-old Rose believes the change of fortune can continue into the weekend. He said: ‘I’m starting seven back and Jordan has played beautifully so far, but we all know a lot can happen. There’s magic out there on this course and it’s up to me to make something special happen.’ Maybe Ian Poulter could borrow Rose’s pencil after a disappointing day in which his putter couldn’t get going. He was par for the round after bogeying the 18th and sits at one over for the tournament. He said on Twitter: ‘Really disappointed. It’s simply unacceptable and disgraceful putting — 34 putts for level par is pathetic.’ Earlier, 19-year-old Scot Bradley Neil had a tough day, shooting a 79 and finishing 13 over. He has ben tipped for big things by Rory McILroy but admitted: ‘I’d prepared well for this, but it shows my game is not good enough yet,’ he admitted. ‘I need to work hard on it if I want to get back here.’

Summary: Rose put himself in contention, ending the second day on seven under . It took a neat bit of psychology to rescue his round after a disastrous start . Rose bogeyed three of the first four, finding himself playing from the trees . And that was where the magic pencil line came to his rescue .

Nathan Priestley, 21, from Norwich, Norfolk, was once dubbed ‘Jabba the Hutt’ by bullies and became so depressed over his size that he refused to leave his house for a year. He was just 18 when he took an overdose of 30 pills, but survived, ironically, because he hadn’t taken enough to defeat his massive frame. Scroll down for video . From bulk to hulk: Nathan Priestley, 21, from Norwich, Norfolk, pictured before (left) and after (right) his staggering weight loss, was once dubbed ‘Jabba the Hutt’ by bullies . Following his suicide attempt in September 2011, something snapped in Nathan and he made the decision to stop wallowing in self-pity and turn his life around. Within two years, he had shrunk to 14 stone. During the first year, he would only exercise in the dark from fear others would mock his efforts as he struggled to start shedding the pounds. Nathan ran the streets in the dead of night when no-one was around and turned off the lights so he could use a treadmill at his local gym unseen. After a year, Nathan started using weights to tone his slimmed-down figure, and was so successful he landed himself a job as a personal trainer. Nathan, now a trim 13 stone, said: 'I was always overweight as a kid and as I grew up the bullying contributed to that because I tended to comfort eat. 'Others would throw sweets at me when I was on the bus and call me "fatty", "fat mess" and "Jabba the Hutt".

During the first year, he would only exercise in the dark from fear others would mock his efforts as he struggled to start shedding the pounds . 'It was at that period in high school where I started to become really self-conscious about my weight. 'I didn’t leave the house for a year and the only time I would leave my room would be to go downstairs to get food.' Nathan added: 'My parents were really worried about me and tried to tell me to go and see somebody for help. 'After the failed suicide I realised that I needed to turn my life around and I started to diet. 'It was scary going outside and I was too afraid to leave the house because I thought people would be judging me. Before his lifestyle overhaul, Nathan was a sugar addict who gorged on bacon and egg butties, chocolate bars and greasy takeaways. He then went cold turkey and cut out junk food, chocolate, crisps

Summary: Nathan Priestly, 21, slimmed from from 26 stone to 13 stone over two years . A failed suicide attempt at 18 was his catalyst for change . Nathan, from Norwich, traded alcohol and takeaways for the gym . He now wants to show his school bullies that he's defeated them .


It has been revealed the blue-eyed, Australian doctor who's been hailed the 'new face' of the latest Islamic State propaganda videos was reportedly a 'womaniser' who was thought to be a 'pretty normal guy'. In ISIS's most recent video, a young doctor, identified as Tareq Kamleh, called on foreign medics to travel to the ISIS stronghold in Raqqa to help launch the ISHS (the Islamic State Health Service). The video of Kamleh, who refers to himself as Abu Yusuf, showed him handling babies in a maternity ward while wearing western-style blue surgical scrubs and a stethoscope. Scroll down for video . The blue-eyed Australian doctor who features in the latest IS propaganda video has been identified as Tareq Kamleh . Calling himself 'Abu Yusuf', Kamleh introduces the launch of the Islamic State Health Service . Once the propaganda video went viral, people from Kamleh's past started to recognise the previously unidentified doctor. It was revealed Kamleh, who is believed to be in his late 20's, completed his medical degree at Adelaide University. Upon completing his degree he reportedly worked as a paediatric registrar at the Adelaide Women's and Children's Hospital until 2013. Kamleh then moved to north Queensland where he worked at Mackay Base Hospital, the Age reported. He completed his final stint in the Australian medical system working in Perth until late 2014. It was revealed Kamleh, who is believed to be in his late 20's, completed his medical degree at Adelaide University . 'He was a pretty normal guy, he didn't have any IS related interests' A university student who knew Kamleh, but did not want to be named, said he showed no signs that he would defect to the radical militant group. 'He was a pretty normal guy, he didn't have any IS related interests,' she told news.com.au. She said the 'clean cut' doctor was well known in her social circle as a 'womaniser' who didn't shy away from drinking alcohol. Kamleh was also recognised by Dr Stephen Napoli, co-owner of the Mannum Medical Centre in South Australia. He told the Age the 'intelligent' doctor had interned with him for 10 weeks back in 2010. 'As a doctor he worked quite well; he was quite intelligent, he presented to our practice as quite a sound doctor with good medical knowledge,' Dr Napoli said. 'As a doctor he worked quite well; he was quite intelligent, he presented to our practice as quite a sound doctor with good medical knowledge' Kamleh was known to practice medicine in Adelaide, Mackay and finally in Perth before he took up working for IS . Dr Napoli agreed that Kamleh had shown no signs of holding extreme Islamic views. 'There was no indication I'd be worried about his other associations when he was with us. 'There was nothing that I saw of his work as a medical practical that would suggest he would have any of these sorts of views.' The video's poster shows a cropped image of a doctor, wearing an western-style blue surgical scrubs which appear to mimic Britain's National Health Service .

It is a cold, spring night in the heart of Liverpool at a football ground bordering Huyton, where Steven Gerrard grew up, so Paul Scholes is in unfamiliar territory. But he is reluctant to leave. Most of the rest of his party have gone but he lingers as the final minutes are played out, with the score 0-0. It has been a frustrating night for Salford City, the club Scholes co-owns with former Manchester United team-mates Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt. A draw here at Prescot Cables means automatic promotion will become only an outside possibility. Gary Neville and Paul Scholes attending the Salford City game at home to Clitheroe Town on Saturday . (Left to right) Scholes, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs co-own the club with Gary Neville (not pictured) Salford are attacking the far end of the ground and the view is obscured but, with 90 seconds remaining, the ball breaks for substitute Gareth Seddon about 10 yards out with only the goalkeeper to beat. And even from Scholes’s long-distance view the ripple of net is immediately visible as the ball beats the keeper and Seddon turns away to celebrate. Scholes, too, punches the air, his face beaming as it once did when he scored a last-minute goal against Manchester City in April 2010. ‘We had to win,’ he says, a look of real relief in his eyes. This must compare to watching United in a title run-in. ‘It’s the same,’ he replies nonplussed, before reconsidering. ‘Tonight it has been worse.’ Seddon’s late goal set the wheels in motion for a fantastic run that has seen Salford win six on the bounce, their latest victory away at Burscough on Saturday. It takes them five points clear of Darlington, who have a game in hand, at the top of the Evo-Stik League First Division North (four tiers below the Football League). With one week to go promotion is well and truly in their hands. Win at home to Ossett Town on Saturday and they are up. Remarkably, Salford City are the team who have happened upon five of the biggest names in English football as owners. The former United players, otherwise known as the Class of ’92, are products of the Premier League era which has propelled the game into a celebrity culture. Here, though, they seem in their element and none more so than Scholes. Earlier Phil Neville was with him. ‘This is going to ruin my week, this is,’ he mutters as another chance is wasted. This is near the base of the football pyramid: clearly the players are a lot better than Sunday League footballers but the culture is closer to Hackney Marshes than Old Trafford. Scholes sits in one corner with a friend, while Phil Neville, across the table with his father, Neville, informs him that they will be pairing up with One Direction at a forthcoming Pro-Am Golf Day so Scholes might need a stylist to keep up appearances. Scholes pulls a face while the rest of the group laughs

Summary: Class of '92 owners of Salford City discuss their non-league club . Paul Scholes, Phil Neville and Gary Neville co-own alongside former Manchester United team-mates Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs . Salford currently top the Evo-Stik League First Division North .


Lewis Hamilton has described his ongoing contract issues as 'a pain in the backside' as the reigning Formula One world champion has become mired in paperwork. Following the Malaysian Grand Prix 11 days ago Hamilton claimed his new deal with Mercedes, worth an estimated £21million per year, was '99.6 per cent done' and was now in the hands of his lawyers. But the fine print of the terms and conditions means the 30-year-old, who opted on this occasion - and for the first time in his career - to negotiate for himself without an agent, is becoming frustrated.

Despite Ferrari winning their first race for almost two years last time out in Malaysia, with Sebastian Vettel at the wheel, the much cooler conditions in China should play into Mercedes' hands. 'Malaysia was a tough weekend,' said Hamilton. 'It always is with the heat, but with car problems on Friday, rain during qualifying on Saturday and a race which didn't go to plan on Sunday, that one was particularly challenging. 'Ultimately we made the best choices we could, but there is always room for improvement and we've been working hard to analyse everything for this next race in China. 'The circuit is one I really enjoy and it suits my driving style quite well. 'I won the race last year and have only finished outside of the podium places twice, so the target is definitely to build on that and get back to the front.' Hamilton, pictured driving during final practice in Malaysia, says the last Grand Prix was a 'tough weekend' He won last year in China and will be hoping for more joy

A picture, believed to be the only image of the Civil War ironclad, the CSS Georgia has been revealed to be a fake created in a teenage hoax using a 2ft model. John Potter, from Savannah, has admitted forging the picture with his brother in the 1980s and placing it in a frame which now holds a picture of his dead dog. He then passed on the image on to the Georgia Historical Society and the photo became an unofficial part of the ship's history even though it was never authenticated. Scroll down for video . John Potter (pictured), from Savannah, has admitted forging the picture with his brother in the 1980s and placing the picture in a frame which now holds a picture of his dead dog . In 1986 he fibbed that he was at a yard sale when he found the photograph in an antique frame.Inscribed on the back of the frame, he claimed, was 'CSS Georgia.' He told historians that he didn't have the $175 the owner wanted . The picture Mr Potter handed over to the society was actually a picture of a picture. In 1986 he fibbed that he was at a yard sale when he found the photograph in an antique frame. Inscribed on the back of the frame, he claimed, was 'CSS Georgia.' He told historians that he didn't have the $175 the owner wanted, so he took a photo of it and then mailed it to historical groups in Savannah. Potter has now admitted the sham and explained how he falsified the image. When he was a teenager in Savannah, Potter, his brother Jeffrey and a friend shot a short 8mm movie about the building — and destruction — of the CSS Georgia in a fictional battle with Union troops. For the movie, they built an 18-foot long boat of plywood and Styrofoam, as well as a smaller 2-foot model. They based the design, in part, on his grandfather's recollections of details passed down by word of mouth through generations of their family. Potter also used an illustration of the ironclad he found on a postcard. To create the fake image Potter's younger brother put on a coat and straw hat went out to a marsh with a cane fishing pole and Potter took a photo. He took another photo of the 2-foot model and cut out the boat's image, glued it onto the photo of his brother, then used dirt and glue to create the illusion of a photo faded by age and stained by water or chemicals. Evidence of the hoax: All elements of the fakery were snapped by Potter at one time. The small model boat here appears alongside the false picture, polaroids of it and a 1984 copy of Mad Magazine . He bought an old picture frame and beat it up even further. He put the photo in it. Then he drove 120 miles to a yard sale in Waycross, Georgia, put the picture down and took a Polaroid of it. He laughs now, when he remembers that

Summary: Picture believed to be sole image of Civil War ship revealed to be a fake . John Potter, from Savannah, admitted forging it with his brother in the 80s . Image, part of the unofficial history of the ship, was never authenticated . Faked using a fishing pole and a Styrophome model from a historical film .


The Liberal Democrats have admitted they are on course to lose at least 20 MPs, but claim this could still be enough to put them back in power. Nick Clegg today continued his tour of 60 seats where the party is defending perilous majorities or hope to make gains, stopping off in Hampshire where the Lib Dems held Eastleigh after Chris Huhne was jailed. But behind the scenes, senior party sources admit their current total of 57 MPs will be slashed to 'in the thirties' after a catastrophic collapse in support. Nick Clegg today continued his tour of 60 seats where the party is defending perilous majorities or hope to make gains, stopping off in Eastleigh in Hampshire . Mr Clegg today admitted that his party was fighting 'tooth and nail' in fewer than a tenth of Westminster seats. Instead of battling to win seats across the country, the party has highly targeted strategy, effectively fighting 60 by-elections in constituencies where his candidates stand a chance. A party source said if the party had a group of MPs numbering 'in the 30s' it could potentially hold the balance of power after May 7 and be able to once again form part of a coalition government. The senior Lib Dem, closely involved in the party's election strategy, said the campaign's focus was increasingly on between 10 and 15 marginal seats - some held by the party and a few targets - with other constituencies either assessed as safe or effectively written off. Assessing the election outcome, the source said: 'Everything is so marginal, we need to get into the 30s and the other parties need to sort themselves out and we will see what the answer is. 'There are now basically two possible outcomes to this election - we can either get a minority government or a coalition with the Lib Dems in it.' Asked if a seat count in the 30s was realistic, the source said: 'Oh yes.' Pressed on whether that was a 'best case' scenario, the senior Lib Dem said: 'I would like to say 150, but I think in fairness you wouldn't believe me. 'There are lots of marginal seats. There's a marginal outcome in 40 seats for us and if we won every one of those marginal contests we would get to 40-odd.' Mr Clegg today admitted that his party was fighting 'tooth and nail' in fewer than a tenth of Westminster seats . Opinion polls by YouGov since 2010 show the dramatic collapse in the Lib Dem support, to barely 8 per cent . The Lib Dems won 57 seats in the 2010 election but have been hit by a slump in popularity after forming the coalition government with the Conservatives. Mr Clegg travelled to Eastleigh, the scene of a 2013 by-election triumph, to spell out the intensity with which the party would fight in its target seats. The Lib Dems have built up a reputation as formidable campaigners in by-election contests, including in the Hampshire seat which they held following the resignation of disgraced former cabinet

Summary: Party on course to lose a third of the 57 seats it won in 2010, sources say . Clegg admits party is fighting 'tooth and nail' in a tenth of constituencies . Aides think that even 30 seats could be enough to hold balance of power .


An outraged food blogger who alleges Instagram fitness star Ashy Bines used her recipes in an e-book without crediting her or asking if she could publish them in a book said she was 'devastated' to find her work had been taken. Sydney personal trainer Allie Dodds, 24, regularly published recipes for her friends and family on her Mealspiration blog before she started her business, Sweets and Sweat, in September 2013. Her gourmet recipes caught the eye of Ms Bines, a Gold Coast businesswoman and successful personal trainer, in 2012. Ms Dodds said Ms Bines contacted her asking if she could share her recipes online with her Facebook fan base and she agreed. 'I thought, that was OK she's going to share a couple of my recipes, give me some credit and that was it,' she told Daily Mail Australia. But she said she was stunned when a colleague noticed her Salmon and Cauliflower Sushi recipe in a 2012 edition of Ms Bines' Clean Eating Recipe Book. Ashy Bines (pictured with a green smoothie) was the subject of appalling abuse after posting a video admitting recipes in her clean eating e-package had been plagiarised. She did not respond to Daily Mail Australia's questions after a blogger came forward suggesting she had also been plagiarised from on Tuesday . Ms Bines is a successful health coach and entrepreneur is best known for her 12 week Ashy Bines Bikini Body Challenge. Programs such as hers and Bikini Body Guide author Kayla Itsines have become increasingly popular . Personal trainer Allie Dodds (pictured) alleges her sushi and cauliflower recipe and others were placed in Ms Bines' book without permission. She runs the Instagram account The.Sweet.Sweat . 'I said "can you show me?" and it was my pictures and my recipe. 'I just couldn't believe it... That's really nasty. 'It was just Ashy's Guidelines and zero mention of my name or my blog and I was just like "you're kidding me". 'At first I was a little bit excited and then I was pretty devastated (not to be credited).' Ms Dodds said recipes inside the guide included her Kanga Rolls, Chicken Mince Quiche and others. She contacted Ms Bines in July 2013 to question her use of recipes and photos but never heard back. Ms Bines admitted in a video statement reported overnight that 10 recipes contained within her Clean Eating Diet Plan had been stolen. She said it happened because she 'outsourced' the recipe component to an unnamed nutritionist.' Ms Bines did not respond to Daily Mail Australia's questions over whether she was referring to Ms Dodd's recipes. A spokeswoman said she was 'in meetings all day'. In her video message earlier this week, Ms Bines said: 'By outsourcing this to a nutritionist I was trying to give you all something of value and to come up with delicious recipes from the food I suggested. 'Unfortunately I may have been too naïve to think that I wouldn't have check the origins of each recipe instead trusting that the work would be completed in an honest and

A cancer survivor who had to have part of his mouth removed after a tumour stopped him from swallowing has been given a new tongue made out of part of his arm. David Billing, 48, has told how he had to undergo 14 hours of surgery at Royal Derby Hospital, during which surgeons sawed through his jawbone and removed part of his tongue. Medics then replaced the lost tissue with muscle from Mr Billing's arm. The only drawback is that it still has hairs on it, and he now has to return to the hospital every few weeks to have it shaved. David Billing, 48, had to have part of his tongue removed after being diagnosed with mouth cancer, so doctors made him a new one out of skin from his arm - which still has hairs on it . The dramatic story began after Mr Billing, a part-time welder, went to his GP in October 2013 after being unable to swallow. After a second doctor's appointment, he was referred to Royal Derby where specialists discovered an ulcer on the right-hand side of his tongue and confirmed it was cancer after a biopsy. He said: 'Being told I had cancer was mind-blowing and a real low point for me. I had no idea when they found this ulcer in my mouth that this was what it would be.' It was a double-blow for Mr Billing, as he had been made redundant just a week before from his job at digger manufacturer JCB. He said: 'It was all so overwhelming. My life and everything was ticking along nicely and the next thing I knew I'd lost my job and needed to have a major operation.' David had the procedure to remove the lump and rebuild his tongue on November 13, 2013. He said: 'I had to have a stomach tube fitted first and then go through the main procedure. Mr Billing was forced to undergo 14 hours of surgery at Royal Derby Hospital (pictured), with surgeons sawing between two teeth and through his jaw to get to the tumour . 'They had to cut through the jawbone and get my face wide open to get to the ulcer then they had to remove some lymph nodes in my neck too, just to be safe in case the cancer had spread.' David spent nine days in hospital after his operation, returning now only for check-ups and once for the smaller procedure to reshape his tongue. He said: 'Usually, people have to go on chemotherapy or radiotherapy after the operation and, during this, the skin tissue used to rebuild the tongue shrinks in size. 'Because I didn't need either, it meant I later needed this smaller operation to have the bit of skin trimmed. 'My tongue's absolutely fine. I had to have speech therapy after the procedure but it's not had any long term impact on my speech or my eating or drinking.' David continued to use a feeding tube and relied on liquid foods until his first proper meal on Christmas Day 2013. And,

Summary: David Billing, 48, diagnosed with cancer after being left unable to swallow . Had 14-hour surgery during which doctors sawed through his jawbone . Needed new tongue created from arm skin, which allowed him to talk . But skin still has hairs on it, meaning he now needs to shave his mouth .
