Two brothers exonerated after being sentenced to death for a 1975 slaying have been awarded more than $1.6 million in compensation from the state of Ohio for decades of wrongful imprisonment. The Ohio Court of Claims on Friday granted the money to Wiley Bridgeman, 60, and Kwame Ajamu, 57, and the brothers' attorneys said compensation for lost wages has yet to be determined and awarded. Bridgeman, Ajamu, and Ricky Jackson, now 59, were sent to death row after aggravated murder convictions in the slaying of Cleveland money order salesman Harry Franks. Scroll down for video . Wiley Bridgeman, 60 (left) and Kwame Ajamu, 57 (right) were awarded a collective $1.6million from an Ohio court on Friday after spending decades in prison for wrongful murder convictions (file photo, Nov. 2014) The brothers served a collective 66 years in prison for the murder of Cleveland businessman Harry Franks in 1975. Above, they celebrate after Bridgeman was exonerated in November 2014 . Last year, the three men were exonerated after the case against them fell apart when the prosecution's key witness Edward Vernon — a 12-year-old boy at the time of the killing— recanted his testimony as an adult and said he never witnessed the crime. Jackson, 58, was awarded more than $1million in compensation in March. Terry Gilbert and David Mills, attorneys for Bridgeman and Ajamu, said Friday the amount in lost wages will be determined through negotiations. Mills said Ohio law allows wrongfully imprisoned individuals to be paid about $51,000 for each year of incarceration. The $1.6 million includes calculated damages amounting to about $969,000 for Bridgeman and $647,000 for Ajamu, according to the court. Previous inmates exonerated after periods in prison have received up to $1million for each year spent incarcerated. An Illinois man who spent nearly 20 years in jail after being wrongly imprisoned for rape and murder received a $20million settlement in March, setting a new national record. Gilbert said no amount of money could really compensate the two men for the time that was taken from them. Bridgeman, Ajamu and Jackson were convicted after a 12-year-old said that he saw how businessman Harry Franks was murdered . Ricky Jackson, was the longest serving person ever exonerated after his 1975 (left) conviction. He was released last year (right) after the prosecution's star witness recanted his testimony . Ajamu was only 17-years-old when he was given the death penalty. Ajamu, Bridgeman and Jackson had walked past the scene where Franks was shot and asked what happened, soon becoming prime suspects in the murder. No physical evidence linked them to the crime, which included an acid attack. In 2013 Vernon said that police had fed him details about the case, Cleveland.com reported. Late last year the inmates became emotional after being told that they had been exonerated and the court would not make any objections to their innocence. All three's death sentences, which were given when Bridgeman was 20 and Jackson was 18, had been commuted to life in prison after the Supreme Court outlawed capital punishment in 1978. Jackson, holding his

Summary: Wiley Bridgeman, 60, and Kwame Ajamu, 57, sentenced for 1975 killing . Key witness, 12-year-old boy, later recanted his testimony last year . Ajamu spent 27 years in prison, Bridgeman spent almost 40 behind bars . Third inmate, Ricky Jackson, received $1million in March . Ajamu and Bridgeman, who are brothers, received death sentences at age 17 and 20, respectively .


A mother was horrified to find a dead gecko stuck to the lining of a jacket she bought from Asda. Paula Dunican spent £25 on the baby blue coat at her local branch in Canterbury, Kent. But when the 49-year-old took it home to try on, she noticed a dark stain 'seeping through' from the its lining. Inside, a four inch-long gecko was flattened, its scales imprinted onto the fabric. Paula Dunican was horrified when she found the body of a crushed lizard on the lining of a £25 coat from Asda . 'I noticed the coat had a stain on the back seeping through, so I opened it and stuck to the lining was a shrivelled, squashed lizard,' said Mrs Dunican. 'I think it must have been ironed - it was disgusting.' The supermarket has offered her a refund and £40 voucher, adding that the reptile may have climbed into one of the boxes transporting clothes from Vietnam where they are made. Its quality control department said it was waiting for Mrs Dunican, who is a school learning support assistant, to return the garment. In 2012 another Asda customer found a dead cockroach inside a kettle she had bought to sterilise baby items. Mrs Dunican said the reptile looked as though it had been ironed onto the coat. A spokesman for Asda apologised and offered her a £40 voucher and refund . Carly Wintle bought the own brand appliance in Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset, and found the insect inside after unwrapping it. Meanwhile in February a disgusted shopper found the severed head of a frozen rat in a bag of frozen spinach. Terri Powis, 33, was horrified when she opened the bag and found the rodent's decomposing body. The supermarket apologised and asked her to return the item to the store, acting, she said, as though it happened 'every day', the Mirror reported.

Andros Townsend hailed Harry Kane as the 'best finisher' he has played with and predicted a bright international career for his Tottenham Hotspur team-mate. Kane made his England debut as a substitute on Friday against Lithuania, scoring after only 79 seconds, and started last night's friendly against Italy in Turin when Townsend scored in a 1-1 draw. Townsend said: 'I've known Harry for the last four, five or six years, I've grown up in the youth team with him and he is a fantastic talent and a player who, if you give him a chance, he is always going to put it away. Andros Townsend hailed Harry Kane (pictured greeting each other) as the 'best finisher' he has played with . Kane and Townsend played for England on Tuesday night during their 1-1 draw with Italy in Turin . Andros Townsend scored England's equaliser and poked fun at Paul Merson after the former midfielder said he 'should be nowhere near the England squad'. Click here for the full story . 'I think a few years ago, the main criticism was that he was lacking half a yard of pace and he has seemed to sort that out. He has bulked up and is now an animal and hopefully Spurs and England can benefit from that. 'I have always said to people that he is the best finisher I have ever played with. 'People used to laugh at me but now I think I should get a job as a scout. 'Even in training, left or right foot he is always working the 'keeper. He can find himself in almost any position and he will hit the bottom or top corner. 'That part of the game he has always had but the other side of the game to be fair to him, he has really worked on and I think Spurs and England are seeing the benefits of that.' Townsend insists he has always told people that Kane is the 'best finisher I have ever played with' Kane celebrates scoring against Lithuania but was unable to add to his tally against Italy on Tuesday night . Ryan Mason won his first cap in Turin and with Kyle Walker also coming off the bench it meant England finished the game with four Spurs players on the pitch, three from the academy. Danny Rose had pulled out of the squad with hip and hamstring injuries. Townsend added: 'The management, the coaches and the academy managers should be proud. 'They have brought through four or five players - Danny Rose as well - who are in the England squad and four players on the pitch at one time tonight is fantastic for the club and hopefully it can be an inspiration to the younger players, the likes of Josh Onomah and Harry Winks who are coming through, that they can be in the first team.'

Former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton got her budding presidential campaign's first targeted question about the deadly 2012 Benghazi terror attacks on Tuesday night, and her answer was the sound of one hand clapping. The bash-the-rich candidate flew first class from Boston to Washington, D.C. after wrapping up a two-day New Hampshire campaign trip. Daily Mail Online was on the flight. 'Mrs. Clinton, when are you going to start talking to the press about Benghazi?' Daily Mail Online asked her in the Washington Reagan National Airport terminal. 'Did you make mistakes?' The usually garrulous and broad-smiling Clinton stared straight ahead, continued walking alongside her Secret Service and local police escorts, and said nothing. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . NO COMMENT: Hillary stared ahead and walked wordlessly Tuesday, refusing to acknowledge her first campaign-trail question about the deadly Benghazi terror attacks in 2012 . DEADLY: The September 11, 2012 Benghazi terror attacks killed four Americans including the US ambassador to Libya . WRONG: Both President Barack Obama and then-Secretary of State Clinton incorrectly blamed the Benghazi attacks on protests sparked by a YouTube video mocking Islam's prophet Muhammad. The two are shown at a ceremony held to receive the remains of the four Americans who were killed at the scene . Moments earlier, she answered a question about why her taxpayer-funded security detail had sped at 80 MPH past exits for the smaller Manchester, New Hampshire airport, and trekked all the way to Boston for a flight with first class seats. 'You know, I don't make the travel arrangements. I don't,' Clinton said. The Islamist terror group Ansar al-Shariah's military-style Benghazi attacks will likely be a thorn in Clinton's side throughout the 2016 presidential campaign season. The group laid waste to a State Department facility while she was America's top diplomat. A special congressional committee chaired by South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy, a former criminal prosecutor, has a mandate to investigate the episode through January 2017, making it unlikely that Clinton will be able to put the issue behind her. TROUBLE AHEAD: New Hampshire resident Brian Blackden included 'Benghazi blood' Tuesday on a sign listing reasons 'Hillary is a liar,' near the site of a Clinton appearance at the New Hampshire Technical Institute . On Sunday during a series of 50 brief interviews with Dartmouth College students in Hanover, New Hampshire, 22 of them made references to Bengahzi when asked about Clinton's chances of becoming president. Many of them, like freshman Cameron Poole, weren't old enough to drive when it happened. 'I think there was blood on her hands,' Poole told Daily Mail Online. He said he believes Clinton's performance before, during and after should disqualify her from holding higher office. 'I definitely do,' he said. 'It shows how she acts under pressure.' NOT FORGOTTEN: U.S. Ambassader the Libya Chris Stevens was the first to die in Benghazi, and was seen by Libyans as a moderate – angering anti-American hardliners from radical Islamist groups . CASUALTIES: US Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith (left), US Navy SEAL Glen Doherty (center)

Summary: Former secretary of state landed Tuesday night at Washington Reagan National Airport after a first-class flight from Boston . Clinton stared ahead wordlessly, walked and didn't acknowledge questions as Daily Mail Online asked whether she had made mistakes in Benghazi . Deadly attacks, carried out by an affiliate of al Qaeda, claimed the lives of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other US personnel . Special congressional committee investigating circumstances before and after the attacks; its report will come out during 2016 presidential campaign . Questions remain about Clinton's alleged failure to protect her diplomatic outpost, and the reasons she cited for the debacle after four flag-draped caskets came home . U.S. intelligence knew at the time that Benghazi personnel were aware they were under attack, but Clinton and other Obama administration officials blamed an out-of-control protest linked to an anti-Islam YouTube video .


The surrender of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee to Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant 150 years ago on Thursday was a milestone event in the end of the Civil War. Thursday's commemoration in Appomattox, Virginia, included a reenactment of Lee's last clash with Grant's troops and of the Confederate surrender in a Virginia farmhouse on April 9, 1865. Ahead of the battle reenactment, the boys of the Confederate 11th Virginia were a seemingly pretty cool bunch as those portraying Union troops gathered several fields away at Appomattox Court House amid the rolling farm country dotted by neat brick buildings and white picket fences. In April 1865, however, the troops weren't as calm. Lee's forces were in a state of growing disarray in the hours before Lee formally called it quits. Scroll down for video .

Ragged, hungry Southern soldiers, many straggling and on the run from federal forces, began giving up alone and in small bunches even before the official surrender. Days earlier that month, the Union Army had already smashed their way into the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia. Lee's forces, seeking an escape route, had crossed the Appomattox River while burning bridges. Union forces 'attacked them vigorously' in the hours before the official surrender, convincing Lee the fight was over. The last days accounts were cited as saying 'the road for miles was strewn with broken down wagons, caissons, and baggage of all kinds, presenting a scene seldom witnessed on the part of Lee's army.' But in 2015, a stoic Chris Ferree couldn't contain his excitement when asked about his role in the 150th commemoration of Lee's surrender here, effectively ending the Civil War 150 years ago on Thursday. 'This is an awesome place to be,' said Ferree, a Roanoke resident. 'We're all excited to be here.' The Confederate re-enactors were a ragtag, mismatched group of heavy wool coats, ill-fitting trousers and more types of hats than a haberdashery. Dozens stood along a rough wooden fence, their muskets stacked at the ready. American Civil War re-enactors portraying Confederate artillery fire several of their cannons during the re-enactment .

A furious New York diner lost his cool grabbing a restaurant manager by the neck before slamming him against a bar and into an elderly woman - after waiting more than an hour for his omelette, according to witnesses. Nicholas Dematteis, 39, flew into the rage while at restaurant Bocca East during brunch on Saturday afternoon, and demanded a free meal around 4pm because of slow service, police said. Dematteis was arrested and charged with assault following the incident, according to the New York Daily News. Police said New York resident Nicholas Dematteis, 39, flew into the rage while at Bocca East (above) during brunch, and demanded a free meal around 4pm after waiting an hour and a half . 'We heard yelling and glass breaking, restaurant patron Jason Wirtz told the Daily News. 'The guy was screaming, ''I'm not paying for it!'' There was some expletives used in there.' The 34-year-old manager made attempts to calm Dematteis down, who waited an hour and a half for his omelette, when he spewed a homophobic slur at the man, according to another manager Joseph Verdi. He then allegedly grabbed the manager's neck and slammed him against the bar. Verdi added that Dematteis, who he said appeared to be drunk, was 'a lot' bigger than the manager. As the 34-year-old manager followed Dematteis outside of the restaurant, he grabbed his neck and hurled him into an elderly woman who was standing on the street, according to the Daily News. The woman got up after being knocked over and witnesses said she left before police arrived at the scene. 'There was a hustle and bustle out here and she hit the ground pretty hard,' said diner Julie Chappell, who was seated near the sidewalk.

It's normally Steffon Armitage who triggers it, but this time it is Nick Abendanon’s doing. He played so well for Clermont Auvergne last weekend – again – that England’s policy against picking players based abroad is back in focus. For the umpteenth time, the RFU and Stuart Lancaster are being urged to invoke the ‘exceptional circumstances’ get-out clause. There is an assumption in many quarters that, this being a World Cup year, it is time to abandon all principles and do whatever it takes to ensure that every Englishman, wherever he may be, is available for selection. Well, here’s an alternative suggestion. Scrap the clause. Now. It is proving to be more hassle than it is worth. Lancaster, his assistants and his employers are being stalked by calls for Armitage to be called into the national squad, as befitting his supreme exploits for Toulon. But that is to ignore the coaches’ reservations, and the realisation that the fall-out from a shift in policy would have long-term repercussions. Former Bath full back Nick Abendanon was outstanding for Clermont as they tore Saracens to shreds . Toulon flanker Steffon Armitage has been one of the standout forwards in Europe in recent seasons . Harlequins director of rugby Conor O'Shea believes the 'exceptional' clause could cause major problems . England hooker Tom Youngs also thinks the clause could create tension in the current international set-up . This is not to decry a quality flanker who has excelled among the Galacticos at his club, but this situation cannot go on. England are being held hostage by their own edict, so why not just ditch the ‘exceptional’ clause and end the out-cry? Critics of the union’s stance over-look the consequences for the club game in this country if there is no restriction in place. This column concurs with Conor O’Shea, who said: ‘It is pure populism to say it is World Cup year and we should do anything we can because the minute you break that (policy), you break the dam. There are always exceptional circumstances. Then there will be the next one and the next one and the next one.’ Leicester’s England hooker, Tom Youngs added: ‘I don’t know how well it would go down with the team. Stuart has built a culture with this group of players. Does he want to disrupt it?’ The 'exceptional' clause rule has continued to heap pressure on Stuart Lancaster and his coaching staff . Fair point. Tell players they have to stay to be considered, then at the 11th hour perform a U-turn and select exiles; that is a short-cut to unrest, surely? This is no restraint of trade either – those who wish to go abroad can do so freely, but the knock-on effect is clear. Well, it is reasonably clear. It would be clearer still if the RFU and England really had the courage of their convictions and abolished the clause entirely. Sam Burgess’s heavily-scrutinised conversion to rugby union will take an intriguing twist on Friday night, when he starts at blindside flanker for Bath against Newcastle

Summary: Nick Abendanon was sublime in Clermont's 37-5 win against Northampton . Abendanon is ineligible for England because he is playing overseas . Toulon flanker Steffon Armitage is in the same predicament . The RFU can invoke an 'exceptional' clause to select overseas players . But this clause could create tension in the England camp .


A teenage boy who stood before his Florida church and made a heartbreaking plea for someone to adopt him has finally found the loving family he has always craved. Davion Navar Henry Only, 16, had spent his entire life in foster care after his mother gave birth to him behind bars.

Then in December, Going took the steps to begin the adoption process and Davion moved with the rest of the family into a larger home. Since then there have fights and tables have been flipped, but in the end everyone loves one another, and she is prepared for the challenges. 'I'm okay with messy and difficult,' she told the Tampa Bay Times. 'You just have to have your armor on all the time, but it's more than worth it. And every day things get a little bit better.' Davion became an example of the struggle faced by many teenagers in the system when in 2013 he stood up and told worshipers at his church: 'My name is Davion and I've been in foster care since I was born. I know God hasn't given up on me, so I'm not giving up either.' He then said: 'I'll take anyone. Old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don't care. And I would be really appreciative.

It was just spur of the moment. It's good to see good feedback and not negative feedback. 'I'd had a few drinks, I was happy and Reading were winning and I just went for it and had a laugh. It was brilliant.' Asked whether he goes to many Reading matches, he added: 'That was my first game actually. It was a good experience. Obviously being there on the first game - not after what I've done, but standing in the stadium, watching the game from the stadium - it's a brilliant experience.

Dog walkers have been warned about deliberate attempts to kill their animals after cocktail sausages laced with poison were found at a popular walking spot. A clutch of sausages stuffed with poisons were found on the Cuckoo Trail, a path running from Hampden Park to Heathfield near Hailsham. The grim discovery comes after a spate of dog poisonings in nearby Brighton and Hove, and dog owners are now being warned by Sussex Police to be aware when they are out walking their animals. A man out walking his dog found a clutch of cocktail sausages with poisonous pellets inserted into them . The cocktail sausages were so densely packed with the poison that eating just one could have killed a dog. They were found hidden among grass on the trail. Photos of the Cuckoo Trail sausages were posted on the Doggy Style pet service page. The post said 'Walking along the Cuckoo trail in Hailsham at approximately 6pm this evening, I have found a quantity of cocktail sausages that appear to have a as of yet an unknown substance deliberately inserted into them. 'So this post is hopefully to help make other owners aware of the possible dangers. The sausages were loaded with the poison (left) and found hidden among the grass (right) on the trail . 'Thankfully I have a search dog that is able to indicate if something doesn't smell right, but please watch any dog off the lead as they were not in eye sight but easily consumed and in multiple places along the trail. 'Hopefully this is the action of some bored mis-guided youth, (which I'm sure this isn't the case!) but personally I find this premeditated, calculated with actions of someone who knows what they are doing.' Dogs that have been poisoned may show the following symptoms; . * Vomiting . * Diarrhoea . * Seizures . * Blood in the stool . * Lethargy . * Loss of appetite . * Bruising . * Nosebleeds . * Discoloured gums . If dogs display any of these symptoms they should be taken to a vet straight away. If possible take the packaging or sample of the poison with you. Do not attempt to medicate dogs yourself, or encourage them to vomit using salt water. If the skin or fur is damaged wash them with a mild shampoo and rinse well with water. Keep poisoned dogs away from other animals to avoid cross contamination.

An Australian teenager has told how she was raped twice on Christmas Eve in Bali while holidaying with her family - and has slammed Indonesian police for letting her attacker escape back to his native Nigeria. Audrey Pekin, 19, says she was attacked by a man, Henry Alafu, who she had met with other friends a few days earlier when he lured her to his remote home - and then assaulted her again in a taxi as she tried to flee. According to Channel 9's A Current Affair, the pair began drinking together at the Bounty Bar in Kuta, before moving to the nearby Sky Garden to continue the night. Scroll down for video . Audrey Pekin has detailed the alleged rape and attack she suffered while on a Christmas holiday to Bali with her family . Alafu lured Ms Pekin back to where his property away from the bustling tourist centre of the city, and brutally raped her on two separate occasions. Alafu told Ms Pekin a party was taking place a nearby villa, and the pair agreed to go to it together. According to ACA, during in taxi ride to the home, Ms Pekin began to feel unwell due to her type 1 diabetes. Once they arrived at the house, she was not put off by the lack of noticeable noise that suggested there was no party taking place, because her illness made it 'impossible to think', she told the show. Inside the house, Alafu locked the door and forced Ms Pekin to the bed where he allegedly attacked her. 'He went from a man to a monster,' Ms Pekin said. 'I can't quite describe the feeling, the sadness, to know what was about to happen and that I would or could not have done anything to stop it. 'I was literally shaking and drooling... I threw some very feeble punches, but I could not move my arms...I could not move anything.' After the first alleged attack, Ms Pekin said she desperately tried to escape. Alafu then followed her, and tormented her as she struggled to flee. She sought help from passing motorists and workers in a nearby service station, but Alafu allegedly told staff to ignore her and 'to stay out of it', the show reported. Ms Pekin believed she was safe when a cab picked her up, only for Alafu to force his way into the cab and again allegedly rape her. Henry Alafu is the man the Pekin family believed attacked their daughter . CCTV footage captured Alafu waiting in the lobby for Ms Pekin, as she stopped at the hotel before they continued with their night out. It was before the alleged attack took place . 'He kept trying to kiss me... he molested me in the back of the taxi for everyone, for the taxi driver, to see,' she claimed. 'He wouldn't stop.' Ms Pekin escaped the cab when it got back into the city of Kuta, when Alafu stalked after her again. 'He loped after me... he was laughing - he was taunting me,'

'By the time he got to mine I was able to introduce him to his son.' Miss Kelly, originally from Scotland, had been to a New Year's party at her brother's house in Stirling and was due to stay in Scotland for a few days afterwards.

TV presenter Lisa Oldfield decided she had to make a change to tackle her weight after her son sketched an unflattering portrait of her. The 40-year-old former Channel 9 host said she barely recognised herself in the drawing, and was horrified to think her sons Harry, 4, and Bert, 2, saw her that way. 'When my son asked me if I was having another baby, that was the catalyst,' Oldfield told Daily Mail Australia. Scroll down for video . TV presenter Lisa Oldfield decided she had to make a change to tackle her weight after her son drew this unflattering portrait of her . Oldfield shared with Daily Mail Australia a picture of her stomach when she removed bandages after the surgery . 'He's delusional, but he thinks I'm the greatest person on the planet. If someone who loves me so much could think that, I knew I had to do something. 'I would try to hide the weight by strategically using my wardrobe, but it felt like I had somebody else's torso. 'I had been thinking about it for a few months and researching it, but that was the final straw.' Oldfield, wife of radio host and former One Nation politician David Oldfield, posted pictures of the 5.5 litres of fat she had removed online. She also showed Daily Mail Australia the aftermath of the surgery, complete with bruises and swelling she said will last 'a few weeks'. 'It's not a pretty picture,' she said. Oldfield posted this photo on her Facebook page of the 5.5L of fat she had removed during her liposuction operation . The mum-of-two said she had to do something, after trying to lose weight on her own. 'In the end, I just had to bite the bullet,' she said. 'I try and stay fit, I walk my dogs and that sort of thing, but I just can't be a slave to a gym. 'I'd rather spend extra hour and a half each night with my kids than with someone I'm paying $100 to scream at me.' Oldfield and her husband, David, who is a radio host and former One Nation politician . One of the main reasons Oldfield wanted to lose weight was so she could take more pictures with her children .

Oldfield ahead of her Year 10 formal in

An advanced spacecraft flies up to an orbiting space station, taking with it cargo and supplies for the crew on board as they continue their mission in the final frontier. No, this isn’t a scene from Star Trek - it’s an event that took place in Earth’s orbit just the other day. And to celebrate the arrival of the cargo-carrying Dragon spacecraft, one astronaut on the ISS donned a uniform from the popular TV show. Scroll down for video . Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti wore the uniform on Friday (shown). Together with Nasa astronaut Terry Virts she captured the spacecraft. On board it had 4,000lbs of supplies - including a coffee machine. It will remain at the ISS for a month before returning to Earth . Italian Esa astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti revealed her unique attire in a tweet. ‘”There’s coffee in that nebula”… ehm, I mean… in that #Dragon,’ she wrote. Construction of the ISS began on 20 November 1998. It supports a crew of up to six, with crews split into groups of three. The station orbits at a height of about 255 miles (410km). It has a total mass of about 990,000 pounds (450,000kg) and has living space roughly equivalent to a five-bedroom house. It completes an orbit of Earth every 92.91 minutes and moves at 17,100 miles (27,600km) per hour. It has now been in space for more than 5,900 days, during which time it has completed more than 92,000 orbits of Earth, and has been continuously occupied for more than 13 years. The ‘Dragon’ she was referring to was SpaceX’s vehicle, which launched from Cape Canaveral on Tuesday 14 April, arriving at the station on 17 April. Here it was ‘berthed’ to the ISS - which means it was grabbed by an arm on the station, and did not dock by itself. The capture occured while the ISS was over the Pacific Ocean, just east of Japan. With the assistance of Expedition 43 Commander Terry Virts of Nasa, Cristoforetti successfully captured the spacecraft at 9.15am last Friday. Spacecraft like Dragon are used to keep the ISS stocked with supplies, but this mission carried with it a treat for the astronauts - a coffee machine called the ISSPresso. Italian coffee giant Lavazza joined forces with the Turin-based engineering company Argotec and the Italian Space Agency to provide a specially designed machine for use off the planet. Nasa certified its safety. It is the first coffee machine able to work in micro gravity on the ISS, where the principles that regulate the fluid dynamics of liquids and mixtures are very different from those typical on Earth. It uses a 'capsule system' to fill plastic pouches with espresso and other hot drinks such as tea. The machine can also be used to rehydrate food.

Two base jumpers who broke their backs and were told they may never walk again after they fell 500ft have started jumping again. Austin Carey, 23, and Jay Rawe, 25, plummeted onto a riverbank when their parachutes tangled at the Perrine Bridge, Idaho, and were left badly injured. But a year later, after intensive recovery, both men have returned to the sport they love - and Mr Carey has even retraced his steps to successfully jump from the bridge. Austin Carey (bottom) and Jay Rawe (right) were left with broken vertebrae after a base jump off Pennine Bridge in Idaho went wrong and the fall almost killed them, one year on both have returned to the sport . Mr Carey was told he may never walk again after being injured, but he recovered to return to the jump this year . The pair had been attempting a risky 'totem pole waterfall' manoeuvre when Jay lost his balance and pulled out his friend's parachute and landed inside of it. The jump on March 24 last year was being recorded by spectators and they watched as the pair spiraled to the beach below. Stunned spectators - who recorded the near-fatal fall - could only gasp in horror as they spiralled onto the beach below. Both suffered fractures to the spine - and Mr Carey was told he might not walk again. Last month - almost a year to the day - the 23-year-old retraced his steps by successfully base jumping again from the Perrine Bridge. He said: 'It was such an amazing feeling to be back there after everything I had been through and all the work I have put into making my dream of jumping again a reality. Mr Rawe suffered fractures to his spine after he plummeted 500ft to a river bank when the fall went wrong . 'Because of what happened to Jay and me I've accepted death as a possibility - but I can't dream of a life without doing what I love.' Mr Carey, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, has no memory of the fall but Mr Rawe remembers it clearly. He said: 'I remember standing on Austin's shoulders and getting ready while our friends held him there. 'Austin gave the 3-2-1 countdown and I remember falling backwards and trying to jump onto the handrail, missing it, hitting the diving board and starting to flip. 'I grabbed his pilot chute and tried to unwrap his bridle from around my leg. I then landed in his parachute, looked up and saw the sky above me and his canopy flapping around. As Mr Carey jumped off the ledge of the bridge, Mr Rawe (left, top) got his foot stuck on the railings, the pair then began to tumble towards the river bank 500ft below (right) without their parachutes opening properly . As they fell Mr Rawe got stuck in Mr Carey's parachute (left) and the pair got closer to the ground (right) By standers saw Mr Rawe trying to untangle himself from the parachute (left) and Mr Carey a crumpled heap (right)

Summary: Austin Carey and Jay Rawe were involved in near-fatal base jump last year . The jump from Perrine Bridge went wrong and the pair spiraled 500ft down . Men suffered fractured vertebrae and Mr Carey was told he may never walk again because of the severity of his injuries from the jump . Both miraculously recovered and have returned to the sport - Mr Carey back to the site of the near-fatal jump almost a year after the accident .

A Ferrari-driving fantasist dubbed 'Teflon Don' who murdered his wealthy heiress lover in order to steal £816,000 from her bank accounts has been ordered to pay back just £1.

Prosecutors wanted to reclaim his ill-gotten gains, which they said totalled £816,127.86p, under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

It was around the day of her intended departure on June 17 that Ms Brown was murdered. Graham had persuaded her to transfer £300,000 into his account and the money dropped just a day before she disappeared. Jurors were told that Graham wanted Miss Brown’s money so he could ‘live a lifestyle that involved

Trials: Researchers at Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem found pregnancy helps regenerate tissue . Expectant mums really do bloom - for being pregnant has a 'rejuvenating effect' on women, according to new scientific research. And for older women it could help them feel young again, almost literally, as pregnancy helps regenerate tissue and slow down the ageing process, it added. Appearing to bloom is not just a cosmetic side effect of carrying a child, said medical experts for the journal Fertility and Sterility but an actual physical process. Researchers studied the effects of liver transplants on pregnant and non-pregnant mice using a high-tech MRI scanner at the Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem. It found in young, non-pregnant mice, 82 per cent of the liver had regenerated after two days and in older, non-pregnant mice, only 46 per cent had regenerated in that time. But in older, pregnant mice around 96 per cent had regenerated after two days, better than the non-pregnant rodents both young and old, they reported. They also found that pregnancy protected the rodents from tissue damage around the heart, which is also an irreversible part of the human ageing process, said the study. Pregnancy is a unique condition for the human body, said the researchers, and as a result it has to cope with two people's systems at the same time. For the older of the two bodies, it is as if it has been injected with a youth serum from the baby it is carrying, hence the rejuvenating process affecting the mother, it suggests. The report added: 'As we age, it is more difficult for our tissue to regenerate itself. 'Because pregnancy is a unique biological model of a partially shared blood system, we have speculated that pregnancy would have a rejuvenating effect on the mother.' Tal Falick Michaeli, Rubin Chair in Medical Science at Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School, who led the review, has also done research that suggests that pregnancy can restore the mother's muscles' ability to regenerate. The research found, in the mice used to test their hypothesis, that the positive effect of pregnancy was 'transient' and lasted for about two months after delivery. Serum: Say tests carried out on pregnant mice suggested they 'got youth serum injection' from babies . Previous research has also found that old mice given a transfusion of younger mice's blood performed better in a memory task than those that aged naturally. A study by Stanford University found that changes in the make-up of people's blood as they age may damage connections in the brain and so cause memory deterioration and the decline of other brain functions. This could be tackled by filtering more youthful blood into the older body, which would rejuvenate old tissue and keep nerve cells in better working order, according to the research.

Summary: Researchers in Jerusalem found pregnancy helps regenerate tissue . Suggest pregnancy could restore mother's muscles' ability to regenerate . Claim mice 'got youth serum injection' from babies they were carrying .


A mother who appeared in the BBC's controversial documentary 'People Like Us' is facing jail after she refused to pay a fine for taking her teenage daughter out of school to go on holiday. Karen Wakefield and her husband Paul Dawson were one of a number of families who featured on the six-part BBC documentary, which aimed to show what life was like in Harpurhey in Manchester. It was criticised by those who starred in it as intentionally painting them in a negative light. Mrs Wakefield, who runs Wishy Washy launderette in the town, is due to appear in court after she refused to pay fines for taking her 13-year-old daughter out of school for six days to go on holiday to Turkey. Karen Wakefield and her partner Paul (centre) could face three months in jail for refusing to pay fines for taking her 13-year-old daughter (right) out of school during term time to go on holiday to Turkey . She has refused to pay two initial £60 fines and subsequent £120 fines, and claims she and her husband have been told they could be jailed for three months or given fines of £1,000 each. The mother-of-two said she 'doesn't like being told by teachers when she can go on holiday' and said she is determined to fight the case all the way. Mrs Wakefield said her daughter's school, the Manchester Communication Academy, refused to give her permission to take her daughter abroad during term last year. The trip, at the end of the six-weeks' holiday, meant the pupil missed six days of lessons at the start of the new school year. She said her child deserved the trip because of alleged bullying at the school. Mrs Wakefield said she doesn't like the school telling her what to do, and took her daughter out of Manchester Communication Academy during term time to go on holiday . Mrs Wakefield claims her daughter needed a holiday after she was bullied at school . The owner of Wishy Washy was seen showing viewers CCTV from the launderette of some of her customers . Mrs Wakefield, who has another daughter Amber, 21, added: 'We told the truth and told the school we were going on holiday. We didn't lie and say she was ill or anything. 'But they said we didn't have permission. She deserved to go on holiday - she's been bullied at the school. She's had a hard time of it. 'We refused to pay the fines - it's ridiculous. We don't like being told when you can go on holiday by teachers. The six-part BBC Three documentary was watched by 1million people. Producers said the fly-on-the-wall documentary aimed to show what life was like in Manchester. But locals who featured in the show claimed the show was 'faked' to make them appear drunken, fat and lazy. More than 300 people attended a public meeting to call for the series to be axed, claiming rather than showing how Harpurhey had developed - it illustrated it as a deprived area. They said the show made

DailyMail.com last weekend exposed Brady Eaves, the privately-educated stepson of a former Mississippi governor candidate, as the teenager who shrieked with laughter as he murdered the small animal in a video from a drunken Spring Break party. The footage, allegedly filmed in Florida, could see Eaves charged with felony animal cruelty charges, which carry a maximum jail term of five years and $5,000 in fines. In a statement branding his actions 'disturbing' and 'disappointing', Eaves' stepfather and mother revealed he has been withdrawn from the University of Mississippi, where he was on a scholarship, and submitted for mental health tests. It comes after Phi Delta Theta openly condemned Eaves' actions and expelled him from the fraternity.

'I haven't seen the footage,' Luis Enrique told reporters after he was asked about television images showing Neymar complaining to his team mates on the bench. 'As a coach I understand that all the players want to be on the pitch,' he added. 'And the players must understand that I am the coach and I have to make decisions. Beyond that you can speculate and draw the conclusions you want.'

Almost everyone longs to be reunited with deceased friends and family. Now an app, dubbed 'Project Elysium', claims to do just that by creating a 'personalised afterlife experience' with loved ones who have passed. The technology, which is still under development, could be a step towards uploading memories and personalities into computers, allowing people to live on in virtual reality. Almost everyone longs to be reunited with deceased friends and family. Now an app dubbed 'Project Elysium' claims to do just that by creating a 'personalised afterlife experience' with loved ones who have passed. The app's developers have yet to reveal exactly how the technology will work . Created by Australia-based Paranormal Games, the app's developers have yet to reveal exactly how the technology will work. What little we do know comes from their Twitter account, which features a screenshot showing someone being transformed into a 3D model. An accompanying caption says: 'Modelling my bestie and business partner Nick into Project Elysium. Our first demo will be personal to Nick.' Dr Albert Rizzo, director of medical virtual reality at the University of Southern California said he believes potential users would have to send pictures and video of the deceased to the developer. What little we do know comes from their Twitter account, which features a screenshot showing someone being transformed into a 3D model. An accompanying caption says: 'Modelling my bestie and business partner Nick into Project Elysium. Our first demo will be personal to Nick' But the company may also need to harvest even more data so that they can construct the person's personality, mannerisms and movements. 'If I knew I had an incurable disease, maybe I would do a full body scan and have a digital replica created,' Dr Rizzo told DailyMail.com. 'And I would sit down for 20 hours and have people ask me questions about my life and what I think about different things.' He says this can all be programmed into virtual reality to create a living record of someone that people can interact with using VR headsets such as Oculus Rift. But experts are divided over how this can impact a user's mental health. Some argue that it can provide real comfort and support in times of grief, while others say it may prevent people from moving on from trauma. Bina48 is a robotic head that uses a 'Mind Clone' of the memories, belief and feelings of a real person . It may be possible to live forever by uploading your memories, thoughts and personality onto a computer within the next ten or twenty years, according to a leading pioneer of the technology. The technology, which is similar to that seen in the film Transcendence starring Johnny Depp, is being developed by entrepreneur Martine Rothblatt. She has already created a disturbingly realistic robotic 'clone' of her wife Bina that she hopes will be a prototype for the technology. The robot apparently shares the ideas and personality of Bina by creating a database of her memories, beliefs and thoughts, along with information taken from social media interactions
