When Zayn Malik announced he was leaving One Direction last week it was amid rumours that he was set to launch a solo career. And the speculation has not abated since a producer known as Naughty Boy - real name Shahid Khan - posted a clip (which has now been removed), of what was thought to have been the 22-year-old's first single. Indeed, the track, entitled I Won't Mind, sent both One Direction fans and one of Zayn's former band mates into turmoil. Scroll down for video . Naughty Boy has been working on Zayn Malik's solo music, he posted a clip of a track entitled I Won't Mind, but has since taken it down . Especially as the big reveal came after Naughty Boy, 30, from Watford, retweeted a fan video entitled, 'Naughty Boy Saved Zaughty' - an amalgamation of Zayn and Naughty Boy's names - which said 'Zaughty Will Rise'. While it sounds cryptic, the video is thought to reference the collaboration between the two and angered Directioners who are still disappointed at Zayn's departure from the group. It also enraged Zayn's former bandmate Louis Tomlinson. Louis tweeted at the producer: 'Wow @NaughtyBoyMusic you're so inconsiderate pal, seriously how f****** old are you ? Grow up! #masterofallwisdom' Naughty Boy believed that Louis was angered by an earlier tweet as he replied: ‘@Louis_Tomlinson calm down. Was talkin bout Louis Walsh cuz he didn't let someone through on X Factor. Look @ the date of the tweet. #2014.’ Naughty Boy was pictured with Simon Cowell, the boss of Zayn's record label Syco, earlier this year at the British Asian Trust dinner . He then wrote: ‘When ur gettin hate for some thing u didn't do, a bit of love can go a long way, that's why I retweeted, time will tell the real story guys.' Louis was quick to point out exactly why he was angered as he responded: ‘@NaughtyBoyMusic I was talking about the video you tweeted. Clearly trying to wind the fans up! Well you succeeded anyway. Fair play.' Onlookers can only speculate that Naughty Boy's reference to something he 'didn't do' is linked to the fact that he is being blamed for Zayn leaving the band. When he teased the single off what is thought to be Zayn's forthcoming solo album due out in 2016 on Syco, he said: 'Let the music do the talking guys. thank us later,' along with a SoundCloud link to I Won't Mind. Naughty Boy is well connected in the music industry, pictured here at an event in 2014 with Jools Holland (left) and Elton John (center) Naughty Boy attends the Ivor Novello awards in 2014 with Emeli Sande who he has previously worked with . 'There is nothing but love for what was left behind. that's why we don't mind #2016 #zaughty #zindabad,' he added. The flurry of outrage, accusations and upset all follow an upsetting week for One Direction's devoted fans after Zayn initially bowed out of the band's tour and then left the group. He confirmed his exit in a statement

A South Australian law professor has said that police acted ‘outrageously’ by subjecting a woman to an oral swab test after she was reported for flashing her breasts. Karen Davis, from Port Pirie in South Australia, notoriously flashed her K-cup breasts on Google Street View and was reported by police with disorderly behaviour. She handed herself into police voluntarily. However, ABC News reports that South Australian law professor Rick Sarre believed it should not result in charges or a court appearance and that the swab was unnecessary. Karen Davis (pictured) from Port Pirie has caused controversy after a picture appeared on Google Maps Street View showing her bearing her size-K breasts . ‘I think it's outrageous, but I know young juvenile offenders who have been questioned over certain things who have had the same thing happen to them,’ he said. 'That behaviour's being defended by the police commissioner, who says ''that's what happens these days''. ‘That doesn't surprise me because unfortunately that's the kind of law and order climate in which this Government has pushed us in the last dozen years.’ The 38-year-old was captured streaking by a camera car for the popular Google Maps app, which allows users to zoom in on certain streets and towns in cities all over the world with a 360-degree view. Police released a statement alleging the 38-year-old mother 'pursued' the Google car to make sure she was captured exposing herself, and that it was an illegal act. 'The woman’s actions were the same as someone flashing their genitals and the public expectation is that we take action,' said Superintendent Scott Denny of Port Pirie police. 'Recently in Port Pirie we arrested a man for exposing himself in public - this incident is no different. 'It is not appropriate for anyone to expose themselves in public places. Our community should be able to expect a bit of decency.' In the image, Ms Davis can be seen holding her arms up in the air with her T-shirt hunched up around her neck bearing her breasts, as she follows the Google camera cars around the street. Her sons are playing in the background and an unknown man stands at the fence watching. Across the road, a neighbour is lounging on her outdoor furniture, watching the whole thing unfold. Ms Davis, who plans to skydive topless for her 40th birthday, has hit back at the controversy caused by her actions, claiming that 'flat-tittie chicks' are not confident enough with their own bodies and should focus on how they look. Ms Davis had issues with her size-K breasts in her 20's and is finally ready to embrace them and she plans to skydive topless for her 40th birthday . The mother says she is happy the picture appeared online and thought it was funny . Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Ms Davis was in tears over the nasty comments coming from her community after she was branded a 'bad mother' and 'pure filth' for her raunchy behaviour. 'They are narrow-minded people who are not happy with their own bodies,' she

Unruly: Rick Yoes, 57 (pictured), spent the weekend in jail in an attempt to avoid paying $1,700 in fines related to nearly two decades of code violations for his overgrown lawn . A 57-year-old man in Texas was jailed this weekend after nearly two decades of code violations for his unruly lawn came back to haunt him. But Grand Prairie resident Rick Yoes claims the city didn't do enough to warn him about the citations, which officials claim were sent out in the mail. Yoes, an electrician at Tarrant County College, was shocked when he received a postcard a couple weeks ago saying he had six outstanding code violations totaling $1,700 and that there was a warrant out for his arrest. Issues Yoes has been cited for in the past include high grass over a foot long, overhanging tree limbs, a dilapidated wood fence, an inoperable vehicle and junk in the yard, and a dirty swimming pool. 'I can’t really afford to pay a lawyer to fight it,' Yoes told CBS Dallas/Fort Worth. 'I couldn’t really afford to pay them $1,700 in fines that he said I owed him. I didn’t know what else to do I just turned myself in.' Yoes turned himself in this weekend and spent two nights in jail before a friend paid his fine to secure his release. Daughter Angel Yoes told the Fresno People's Media that when her father received the warning, he took off all his vacation days at work and found a replacement so that he could serve 17 days in prison rather than pay the fine. Father and daughter say they've had issues with code enforcement in the past, but have tried to keep the yard up to standard when the previously received warnings. However, Yoes claims he didn't know about the six violations he was confronted with recently. Scroll down for video . Let it grow: The city of Grand Prairie says they tried several times to reach out to Yoes over the years, but that the man refused to keep his lawn up to code. Above, Yoes' home in Grand Prairie . Too long: Above, another view of Yoes' lawn from Bing. Among the issues with Yoes' lawn were overhanging branches long enough to hit a passing truck . Repeat offender: Above, a picture of Yoes' lawn on one of the dozens of visits code enforces have taken to his property since 1996 . Upset: Yoes says the city didn't do enough to warn him of the mounting fines for his lawn. Pictured on the left in a photo posted to his Facebook . Following Yoes' stint behind bars, city officials released a list of Yoes' violations on his Coffeyville Trail home and insisted that they had given him plenty of warning to get his yard up to code and avoid fines. 'Unfortunately, since 2014, he has not responded to our repeated requests to jointly solve the problems, which has forced us to ultimately cite him for the violations,' the city said in a statement. 'Our Municipal Courts are always amenable

Summary: Grand Prairie, Texas officials say Rick Yoes, 57, has refused to respond to two decades worth of code violations for unruly lawn . When he received notice that he owed $1,700 and that there was a warrant out of his arrest, Yoes reported to jail instead of paying the fine . He spent two nights in jail before a friend paid the fine and secured his release . Officials for the city say they would never arrest someone for not mowing their lawn and that Yoes had plenty of opportunities to work with them . Yoes claims in one interview that he never received the warnings, while in another interview said he ignored the letters .

This was Kerber's fourth WTA title and first since Linz in 2013. The German broke serve five times against an opponent who hadn't lost serve all week. Kerber fell to the ground and covered her face in celebration when Keys' final shot sailed long. Kerber had defeated friend, countrywoman and defending champion Andrea Petkovic in the semifinals.

Keys moved in front once more at 5-4 before Kerber took control for good. Kerber won the next game at love, then rallied from 40-0 down to break serve and pull ahead.

Tom Ince chose not celebrate, nor did 60 or so travelling Blackpool fans who used to cherish his displays. But Derby County very much cheered this emphatic victory that solidified their position in the play-offs and provided a needed tonic after recent headaches. Ince's reluctance to show joy when finding the net in some style against his former club was understandable. Blackpool is where he crafted his game and made his name between 2011 and 2014. Since he left last year, initially on loan to Crystal Palace in January, there has been only despair on the seaside, and this defeat confirmed they would take the Championship wooden spoon. Derby celebrated an emphatic victory over Blackpool that kept their promotion push going . Derby: Grant, Keogh, Shotton, Whitbread, Warnock, Bryson, Hendrick (Thomas 78), Dawkins, Ince (Ward 74), Bent (Russell 68), Lingard. Subs not used: Christie, Forsyth, Roos, Albentosa. Goals: Bryson 3, Ince 28, Bent 29, (pen) 65. Blackpool: Parish, Maher (Barkhuizen 54), Clarke, O'Dea, Dunne, Cubero, Perkins, O'Hara, Orlandi, Madine, Cameron (Samuel 69). Subs not used: Oliver, Ferguson, Telford, Boney, Higham. Referee: Oliver Langford (W Midlands). Attendance: 27,227. Derby, despite their recent troubles, can still look up. An easy win against the division's worst team by far may not vouch for their play-off credentials but the three points help get them there. Steve McClaren, who may be heading to the Premier League no matter what, was unable to field top scorer Chris Martin because of a niggling hamstring injury. But his absence was not crucial, this was over by half-time. Probably after just 2 minutes 29 seconds. That is when Craig Bryson picked the ball up off Jeff Hendrick in the middle of the pitch, strolled forward unchallenged and let fly a shot from 20 yards that bounced into corner of the net. Deadlock broken, the rival fans united in trashing Blackpool chairman Karl Oyston, whose stewardship has sent the club into League One. 'Love Blackpool Hate Oyston,' was a banner held aloft in the sparsely-populated away end. Craig Bryson celebrates after scoring the opening goal as early as the third minute . Tom Ince scored Derby's second goal of the night against his former side at the iPro Stadium . Chants were aired, 'Oyston for Forest' being one of the more printable. Ince's goal came in the 28th minute. He got the ball from Ryan Shotton, danced into the area and curled a wonderful effort inside the far post. How important his eight goals have been since joining on loan from Hull. Ince stayed composed out of respect to the club where he scored 31 goals in 100 league games. Some non-celebrations seem trivial. This, given all Blackpool's fans have suffered, was removing the salt from the wound. A mere 58 seconds later, it was 3-0. Straight from kick-off Charles Dunne sent a backpass into the path of Darren Bent, who finished cleanly. It meant he had scored in four consecutive league appearances for the first time since October 2009. He should have had a second seven minutes after the break. Jesse

Summary: Derby keep their promotion hopes alive with easy win at iPro Stadium . Craig Bryson gave them the lead in the third minute on Tuesday . Tom Ince scored against his former side, but didn't celebrate . Darren Bent on target twice, including a penalty in the second half .


A 65-year-old schoolteacher is set to become the oldest woman ever to give birth to quadruplets.

She defended her decisions to get pregnant later in life, saying: ‘I think one needs to decide for oneself and not listen too much to the opinions of others.’ At present, the oldest woman to have given birth to quads is Merryl Fudel, who was 55 at the time. The oldest woman ever to give birth is Indian Omkari Panwar, who was believed to be 70.

'He should be considered armed and dangerous.' Deputies found Nelson and charged him with kidnapping and armed robbery. They said he will also be charged with a possession of a firearm during a violent crime charge. 'Nelson was located and taken into custody without incident around 1 p.m. Tuesday,' the sheriff's office later said in another release posted to Facebook. Bunch told WFSB of the stick-up 'It's got to be incredibly difficult for somebody to deal with that, especially at 1:00 in the morning.' It wasn't known if Nelson had an attorney.

An eight-year-old boy who was made an outcast in his village and described by his own family as a 'ticking time bomb' because he has HIV has been given a home at last. In a case that was condemned around the world, Luo Kun Kun was expelled from his village when locals - including his own grandfather - signed a petition to banish him to 'protect villagers' health'. Following that cold-hearted decision, the mournful child explained how, 'nobody plays with me, I play alone'. But now a specialist school in Linfen, a city in southern Shanxi Province, has stepped in to help.

Kun Kun contracted the virus from his mother when she was pregnant with him, but was only diagnosed when he was five years old. His mother and stepfather worked in other provinces, so he was raised near the town of Xichong with his non-blood-related grandparents, who had adopted his stepfather as a child. The boy was refused admission to local schools and locals would avoid contact with him, so he spent his days playing in the woods alone. When he was diagnosed, his grandparents found themselves isolated in their village of Shufangya in south-eastern China's Sichuan province and so sided with the locals. At a special meeting on December 7 last year, 203 village residents signed a petition asking the authorities to 'carry out preventative isolation measures by taking Kun Kun away from the village, and protect the health of the villagers and children'. It went on to say that Kun Kun 'provokes fear among the community'. He was also referred to as a 'ticking time bomb'. Wang Yishu, party chief of Shufangya village, said: 'The villagers sympathise with him, he is innocent, and only a small child. But his AIDS is too scary for us'. Kun Kun was forced to play alone in his home village, but has now been admitted to a specialist school . The Sichuan government contacted the school in Linfen when Kun Kun's plight made worldwide headlines .

A teenager who fell ill with flu four months ago is unable to move her arms and legs and can barely eat or talk. Doctors are still trying to find out what the future holds for 17-year-old Natasha Willard after she was diagnosed with inflammation of the brain when she fell ill while studying for her A-levels in Cwmbran in Wales. Miss Willard's family are unsure how the teenager became ill so suddenly, just four days after she returned her feeling unwell. They are now trying to teach her to walk and talk again. Natasha Willard was studying for her A levels at college when she appeared to get the flu just before Christmas and her condition has worsened, leaving her unable to move her limbs and barely able to speak . Her stepmother Kirsty Willard said: 'The doctors are baffled, they do not know what happened. 'They have given her antibiotics and she is on steroids too. 'We are just left in limbo. The doctors have not said what the future holds; they cannot give us that information.' Natasha has been diagnosed with encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain. Natasha appeared fit and well days before she came home ill, and appeared to quickly go down hill . Mrs Willard said doctors have told them they are unsure whether she will make progress, but have warned the family she is unlikely to fully return to herself. Natasha, from Cwmbran, was studying art and Welsh in the sixth form at Torfaen's Llantarnam School when she fell ill. Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain. Symptoms include seizures, convulsions, tremors, hallucinations, stroke, haemorrhaging, and memory loss. Encephalitis develops in reaction to a viral infection or when the body's own immune system attacks brain tissue. The condition can also be caused by the immune system reacting to a tumour. Around 4,000 people are diagnosed with encephalitis every year. Some people make a full recovery from the condition but others can be left with permanent damage to the brain and complications including memory loss and epilepsy. She came home on December 5 after a night out with friends and went straight to bed. Over the next few days Miss Willard started vomiting and had aches and pains, and her family presumed she had the flu. But on December 9 she collapsed and was mumbling and had to be taken to hospital. The teenager cannot remember the first four weeks of her illness and was unresponsive for the first three. She was then transferred from University of Wales Hospital, Cardiff, to Rookwood Hospital, also in Cardiff, for intensive physiotherapy and speech therapy. 'She can say a few words,' said Mrs Willard. 'She can say "Hi dad" and "Hi Kirsty." She can say her own name, and her brothers' names, her sister's name and she can say "yeah."' Mrs Willard said they are having to teach the 17-year-old everything from scratch, as if she is a child again. But, she adds that she has not complained about her condition. Mrs Willard, who works in a bar, said

Summary: Natasha Willard appeared to be suffering from flu just before Christmas . But four months later the teenager can barely move her limbs or talk . She has been diagnosed with encephalitis, or swelling, of the brain . Doctors are unsure whether Miss Willard, 17, will be able to fully recover .


Dr Mehmet Oz's fellow faculty members at Columbia have written an op-ed lashing out at how his 'unsubstantiated medicine... sullies the reputation' of the university - in just the latest attack on his talk show tactics. But they also leap to the physician's defense in the piece, saying that his on-air 'Ozisms' should not cancel out his stellar work at the university, where he has an unblemished record as a doctor. The eight staff wrote the op-ed for USA Today after 10 doctors urged Columbia to sever all ties with Oz, who serves as vice chairman and professor of surgery at the College of Physicians. Those doctors accused him of being a 'charlatan' who promotes 'quack treatments' on his syndicated talk show - accusations Dr Oz has vehemently fought this week. Scroll down for videos . Under fire: Faculty at Columbia University have said some of Dr Mehmet Oz's tactics have 'sullied their reputation' - but also applauded him for the work he had carried out at the Ivy League school . In the new op-ed, his fellow faculty also denounced his TV show methods. They pointed out that in 2014, the BMJ medical journal said 'that less than half of the recommendations on his show are based on at least somewhat believable evidence'. 'Many of us are spending a significant amount of our clinical time debunking Ozisms regarding metabolism game changers,' the staff members wrote in the op-ed. 'Irrespective of the underlying motives, this unsubstantiated medicine sullies the reputation of Columbia University and undermines the trust that is essential to physician-patient relationships.' That said, 'the weaknesses in [his] professional balance sheet' should not force him out of his job at Columbia University, where he has been employed since 2001, they wrote. He was hired because of his strengths as a doctor and receives top reviews from his peers and patients, and therefore should not be forced to leave the job 'in which he excels', they wrote. Support: The eight faculty members, including Drs Michael Rosenbaum, left, and Joan Bregstein. right, said they have spent a great deal of their time debunking 'Ozisms' their colleague had shared on air . Instead, they suggested that his case raises questions of what responsibilities doctors in the media have to their patients. 'What happens when a doctor's job in media-medicine collides with office- or hospital-based medicine? Dr. Mehmet Oz is a case in-point.' 'Many of us are spending a significant amount of our clinical time debunking Ozisms regarding metabolism game changers. Irrespective of the underlying motives, this unsubstantiated medicine sullies the reputation of Columbia University and undermines the trust that is essential to physician-patient relationships.' 'We need to re-evaluate the roles of the health sciences and government in broadcast medicine and what are the responsibilities of media physicians to their patients?' 'Non-evidence based medical recommendations presented without the appropriate caveats are costly and potentially harmful. However, unless these foibles can be shown to render Dr. Oz inadequate or ineffective at Columbia, there is no justification for forcing him to resign from a well-earned position in

Summary: Eight faculty members at Columbia University penned an op-ed accusing Dr Oz's on-air tactics of sullying the reputation of the Ivy League school . But they said he should not be forced to stepped down from his 'well-earned position' at Columbia because of these 'foibles' It comes after 10 doctors called on Columbia to fire Oz for promoting 'quack treatments' on his TV show, including weight-loss supplements . The piece came as Dr Oz insisted his show would survive the criticism and said the doctors only attacked him for supporting GMA labeling .


Keith Curle tells the kind of stories about management that might explain why retiring players are stampeding towards the pundits’ couch. Except that is not his intention. Quite the opposite, in fact. The Carlisle manager loves a job that over the years has seen him break and rebuild a toilet, man a hose and pay salaries from his own pocket. ‘It’s the life I want for myself,’ he said. ‘It gets me out of bed.’ But there is no escaping the fact that Curle is in a shrinking minority, being one of only four managers in the country’s top 92 clubs who has played for England. The drain of leading English players to television rather than management was the key finding of a Sportsmail study. It seems that talking about the game is more appealing to former players than a life orchestrating it — easier money, less time and pressure. Many ex-players simply have no financial need to work but for Curle, money has only ever been just a part of it. Keith Curle insists football management was always his priority after ending his playing career . Curle has taken charge of Carlisle after learning his trade in the lower league backwaters . ‘Football was all I had and all I wanted,’ he said. ‘As for ex-internationals, I guess there will be fewer going to management now because of the money they earn. You’d think they don’t need a wage but some will have only a passion for football. ‘That might mean being in front of a camera. I have done a bit for Sky and I really enjoyed it but first and foremost I am a coach and manager. That’s how it is for some managers – it’s what you are. ‘But if you are like that you have to like a challenge.’ Few are better placed to illustrate the challenge of management than Curle. He won three England caps but has spent most of the past 13 years in places where TV rights do not sell for billions. He started at Mansfield and went on to Chester, Torquay and Notts County before joining League Two Carlisle United last September after nearly five years coaching Crystal Palace and QPR under Neil Warnock. Curle (right) is one of only four former England players to currently manage in the football league . The well-travelled defender played for a total of 10 clubs during his career, including Manchester City . Curle claims to have caught the management bug after playing for Wolves under Colin Lee and John Ward . The 51-year-old’s days are long and his experiences would not seem such fond memories to everyone. ‘At Chester, I drove around looking for places to train,’ Curle said. ‘Elsewhere, I’ve raised money to pay bills for training facilities that haven’t been paid for. You are also lending people money for wages that have not been paid. ‘At Mansfield, we had a toilet in the middle of the changing room so I helped knock it down and rehouse it.’ It was at Mansfield that Curle used

Summary: Keith Curle is one of only four England players to currently manage . Former Manchester City player has managed clubs including Mansfield, Chester, Torquay and Notts County before ending up at Carlisle . Curle turned his back on a career in punditry to remain on the sidelines . 'I have done a bit for Sky and I really enjoyed it but first and foremost I am a coach and manager,' he said .


Ronny Deila insisted on Friday night that Scottish football would benefit if referees gave a public explanation of their decisions after matches. The Celtic manager stressed he still had a positive view of officiating in this country despite the Josh Meekings handball debacle that helped kill his Treble dream last weekend. But Deila has called for similar transparency as in his Norwegian homeland, arguing that referees facing the media would help quell long-running furores and improve relationships. Celtic manager Ronny Deila speaks to the officials after his side's Scottish Cup semi-final loss to Inverness . Celtic wrote to the SFA in the aftermath of last weekend's defeat to Inverness, seeking 'to understand' how Steven McLean and his assistants failed to act on the Meekings incident. 'When my team has a bad performance, I have to stand in front of newspapers and everybody,' said Deila. 'If it's good, it's good. If it's bad, it's bad, but I have to stand up to it. 'I can't understand what the problem is with the referees doing it as well. 'They could say: 'I made a bad mistake, I'm so sorry, I'm irritated at myself, I should have done it better, I should learn from this.' What could you say after that? 'It's not important for me to speak with the referee. It's the Press. If the Press has a question for me and I say no comment, it never stops. If I say what I think, then you move on. 'It would be good for referees. We all know they will make mistakes in the future and do good and bad things. Inverness defender Josh Meekings will be allowed to appear in Scottish Cup final after his ban was dismissed . 'We will do the same, but just to be open and honest gets you much more respect. You have to be able to handle it through good times and bad times. 'If they shut themselves away, you don't get answers and that's why we are writing a letter to them just asking what happened. 'If not, we don't need to do that. They tell it to television. What's the problem? More and more in Norway, the referees go to speak to the media after the match.' Speaking in December, Deila said that Scottish referees had been 'fantastic' since he came to Celtic and that he had encountered more problems in European matches. Meekings was not sent off and no penalty was given as Inverness went on to beat Celtic 3-2 after extra-time . 'I haven't changed my mind,' he insisted. 'You see mistakes all over Europe and I think the referees here have been good, I have no problems with that. 'It's just afterwards there are a lot of things. So many meetings, appeals, I can't understand that system. But that's not up to me, it's up to others.' Referees have performances evaluated by assessors but Deila feels it would be better if they came under a more public disciplinary system similar to managers and players. 'I think it is strange that we have

Summary: Josh Meekings got away with a deliberate handball against Celtic . Celtic went on to lose their Scottish Cup semi-final clash 3-2 to Inverness . Celtic wrote to the SFA in the aftermath of last weekend's defeat . The club sought 'to understand' how Steven McLean and his assistants failed to act on the Meekings incident .


Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul, on the defensive after a set of acrimonious exchanges with female journalists including, is denying that he has a problem with women. 'I think I have been universally short-tempered and testy with both male and female reporters. I'll own up to that,' the Kentucky senator told CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer yesterday, responding to accusations of sexism that bubbled up following his Wednesday morning dust up with TODAY host Savannah Guthrie. Paul, who announced his bid for the Oval Office on Tuesday, admitted that he needs to 'have more patience' with reporters, even if he's 'annoyed' with them while maintaining that 'interviews should be questions and not editorializing.' The confession summed up the freshman lawmaker's second day as an official 2016 contestant - a bumpy ride that has so far included a confrontation with the chairwoman of the Democratic Party over late-term abortion and Paul's declaration that she seems to be 'OK with killing a 7-pound baby.' Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul is on the defensive after an acrimonious exchange with TODAY host Savannah Guthrie on Wednesday morning. 'No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!' Listen, you've editorialized,' he blasted at Guthrie . Paul, a libertarian-leaning Kentucky senator, launched his presidential bid on Tuesday in Louisville. Responding yesterday to accusations of sexism that bubbled up following his dust up with Guthrie, Paul said, 'I think I have been universally short-tempered and testy with both male and female reporters. I'll own up to that' Paul's woes on Wednesday began with an early morning sparring match on TODAY with Guthrie over perceived flip flops on foreign policy issues. A disgruntled Paul cut her off and said, 'Why don't we let me explain instead of talking over me, OK?' 'Before we go through a litany of things you say I've changed on, why don't you ask me a question: "Have I changed my opinion?" That would be sort of a better way to approach an interview.' Guthrie proceeding as requested, asking him if he had shifted his views on any foreign policies, but he still wasn't satisfied, telling her, 'No, no, you've editorialized.' 'No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!' Listen, you've editorialized. Let me answer a question! You ask a question, and you say, "Have your views changed?" instead of editorializing and saying my views have changed,' he continued. Paul responded with a similarly peevish attitude to a line of questioning he considered 'slanted' in a February back and forth with CNBC anchor Kelly Evans, whom he shushed and told to 'calm down a bit' before giving her advice on how to do her job. American Bridge 21st Century, a liberal opposition-research group, tore into Paul on Wednesday morning, telling Daily Mail Online, 'Rand Paul can't seem to step in front of a camera without proving that shooting from the hip is a good way to shoot yourself in the foot.' 'He's got miles to go before his ability catches up to his ambition,' the group's spokesman, Ben Ray, said. ''And judging by his temper, he knows it,

Summary: 'Why don't we let me explain instead of talking over me, OK?' he asked TODAY's Savannah Guthrie as she tried to corner him Wednesday morning . Paul unleashed on on a female CNBC anchor during a line of questioning he considered 'slanted'; he shushed her and told to 'calm down a bit' 'I think I have been universally short-tempered and testy with both male and female reporters. I'll own up to that,' he now concedes .

Padding such a long way back was a tall order for a little lapdog with stumpy legs. So when Alfie the Yorkshire terrier was dumped by thieves 120 miles from his home, he found a novel way to bring about a snappy rescue. With great presence of mind – or luck – he dashed into a deserted country lane just as an RSPCA van drove by. Reunited: Alfie the Yorkshire Terrier (with owner Kirsty Mitton, right) - who travelled from Wednesbury, West Midlands, to Buckinghamshire to pick him up after he was rescued the RSPCA inspector Stephanie Law (left) Safe now: The seven-year-old dog ran out of the woods in front of the inspector's van and started barking . The near-miss, plus a lot of barking, made RSPCA inspector Stephanie Law pull over. When she opened her cab door, Alfie bounded in and started licking her face appreciatively. Because the seven-year-old was microchipped, RSPCA staff were able to trace his owner, Kirsty Mitton, in Wednesbury, West Midlands – the opposite end of the M40 from where he was found in Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire. Inquiries revealed Alfie had been missing for 12 days after being stolen with Miss Mitton’s other Yorkshire terrier, Lillie, during a raid on her home. Miss Mitton, 23, put up 400 posters near her home and launched an appeal on Facebook to find the dogs after the burglary on March 21. Yesterday, Inspector Law said: ‘I was just driving down the deserted road when I saw Alfie run towards me, clearly trying to attract my attention. He ran right in front of the van, barking, and as soon as I stopped and opened the door he just bounded in and jumped on the seat. ‘It was as if he recognised my uniform and knew I was there to rescue him. Taken: Alfie (left) is back, but Miss Mitton’s second terrier Lillie (right), who was also stolen, is still missing . Distaance: Inspector Law reunited Alfie with a delighted Miss Mitton, who drove 112 miles from Wednesbury in the West Midlands (point A) to Gerrards Cross in Buckinghamshire (point B) to collect her beloved pet . ‘I have had plenty of people wave me down for help but I have never actually been flagged down by a dog in need of rescue before.’ Miss Mitton, who runs her family’s haulage firm, has had Alfie since he was a puppy. Lillie, five, is not microchipped and is still missing. The pets are thought to have been stolen by dognappers who cash in on the lucrative trade in Yorkshire terrier puppies, which can sell for £900. They have become increasingly popular after being photographed with celebrity owners such as Miley Cyrus, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. The two dogs were the only things taken in the break-in. It is thought Alfie was dumped by the thieves when they realised he is neutered. Lillie has not been spayed so can still breed. Miss Mitton, said: ‘It was like he just flagged her down and knew who she was. It is incredible that he

A woman who works as a professional ‘humiliatrix’ has revealed how she earns more than one dollar per minute indulging the subservient fantasies of men around the world. Ceara Lynch, from Portland, Oregon, takes the more traditional dominatrix idea a step further, not just dominating her customers but demeaning, shaming and generally humiliating them. And the 28-year-old entrepreneur says that making money this way — which she has been doing since she was 17 — has been a dream. Risqué business: Ceara Lynch, 28, says her career began when she realized how much money she could make from selling her used underwear online; her first pair sold for $70 . In a recent interview with Salon, Ceara explains that she got started in the industry by accident. When she was 17, Ceara was on a dating website when one particular suitor intrigued her; the meaner she was to him, the more interested in her he became. She went on to seek out similar men, eventually finding a website called Ebanned where she could sell her used underwear. Her first pair sold for $70. A tame entrance into the world of humiliating men for money soon escalated to selling more personal items online, taking provocative phone calls, and performing live webcam shows. Taking control: 'Guys really like the idea of me ruining them in this way,' Ceara says . Real-life dating: Ceara says she's up-front about her job when she's dating, and she's had three serious relationships over the course of her career . 'I make most of my money from videos,' she says, adding that custom videos cost $1 per minute and subscribers pay a monthly fee of $39.99 for access to her site. 'They are [point of view]-style videos, which means it’s just me and the camera, and I am looking at the camera and talking to the camera so that the viewer feels like I’m talking to them.' 'I just tap into various fetishes and they’re all just under the umbrella of [female dominance]. I always play a dominant role, and I tap into things like cuckolding, small penis humiliation, foot fetish, toilet slavery, giantess — which is this fetish where guys imagine this giant woman that’s going to come and crush them with her feet or swallow them whole — different stuff like that.' Besides paying for subscriptions and purchasing the personal items that Ceara sells online, customers can also mail Ceara cash, buy her gift cards to Amazon, Southwest Airlines, or a massage parlor, or purchase items off her Amazon wishlist, which includes a $399.99 GoPro, $1,295 Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, and a $23 Pikachu adult cosplay costume. No secret: Friends and family know what Ceara does for a living, and her dad thought she was a 'genius' when he learned how she was making money . While such interests might scare off some people, Ceara likes the fact that she is privy to intimate knowledge that her customers don't necessarily reveal in their personal lives. 'I think it’s fascinating and I think it’s also flattering, in a way,

Summary: Ceara Lynch, 28, is paid to indulge men’s fetish fantasies, which often include elements of humiliation . She began her career at age 17 selling used underwear online and has gone on to create web videos . Ceara now owns a minimum of $1 a minute for making custom videos . She 'gets a kick out of' her job, which includes hearing the secret fantasies of thousands of men .


Julie Walter, 49, who has been jailed for two and a half years after posing as trusted officials to dupe elderly residents in sheltered housing out of money . A woman has been branded a 'menace to the community' after she posed as both a council warden and a church official to bluff her way into sheltered housing complexes to steal from vulnerable residents. Julie Walters, 49, has been jailed for two and a half years after she pretended to be a trusted official to dupe elderly victims out of cash. She was caught by police after she was spotted on CCTV loitering in the communal hall of a retirement property near to the Old Trafford football ground in Manchester before an 80-year-old man and an 81-year-old woman were fleeced in two separate attacks. Today, police issued CCTV images of Walters of Withington, Manchester, hanging around outside the complex after she admitted three counts of burglary at Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court. The court heard how the first victim, a man aged 81, was targeted at about midday on February 25 this year when he was walking back to his sheltered accommodation. He saw Walters get out of a taxi and she asked him for money, claiming she needed to pay the taxi and then go into town. Mistakenly thinking she was one of the wardens, he gave her about £30 in cash. The next day she returned to the man’s address, claiming she worked there, and needed to check his bathroom. After tricking her way inside, she stole his wallet and £100 in cash. Walters struck again on March 2 at the home of an 80-year-old man who lives at another retirement home. She falsely claimed she was from the church which convinced the man to let her inside. Walters then rifled through the kitchen, stealing his wallet containing between £50 to £60 in cash. Later that day and at the same retirement home, Walters targeted the home of an 81-year-old woman, claiming she was from 'the council' and needed to use the toilet. Once inside, she stole a £5 note from the woman’s handbag but was caught red-handed. When confronted she simply put the note on the coffee table and left. Walters was identified on the CCTV footage by a beat police officer and she was arrested on March 4. Investigations showed she had booked taxis to drop her off and then pick her up at times and locations matching those of the three burglaries. Today, police issued CCTV images of Walters hanging around outside a complex, where she targeted two residents, after she admitted three counts of burglary at Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court . After the case Detective Sergeant Rachel Smith of Greater Manchester Police said: “Walters is devoid of conscience and scruples. “She is also extremely manipulative, not only in terms of tricking her way into the homes of vulnerable people but also targeting those she thinks are too frail or elderly to recognise her or give evidence in court. “In fact, in this case, one of

Summary: Julie Walters pretended to be trusted official to gain access to care homes . Claimed to be both a council warden and from church to steal cash . Fleeced three elderly residents of money in three separate attacks . Admitted burglary and was jailed for two and a half years at Minshull Street Crown Court .

Duke Walker told AL.com that ten vessels were capsized or incapacitated during the storm with three of those with the regatta. Walker also said crews are using boats and airplanes to search vast portions of the bay, including the center and areas close to Dauphin Island where family members have gathered. The storm rolled through the area about 4pm and a man was plucked from the waters by the Coast Guard around 9pm, Petty officer Carlos Vega said. Families of those missing stayed overnight in a makeshift shelter hoping that on Sunday morning they would be reunited with their loved ones, according to AL.com. Survivor Robert Luiten was a member of a five-person crew with also his 18-year-old son, Lennerd when they were thrown into the bay after the storm hit. He and another crew member were rescued quickly, but he told AL.com that it took around six hours until his son was found by rescuers. Late Saturday, the pair were reunited however two of their crew were still unaccounted for.

A six-year-old boy who had to have more than half of his teeth removed due to a high sugar diet has been taken away from his parents. A family court judge ruled that the boy, who cannot be named, must stay in the care of his local authority due to his poor dental health. Details have emerged about the ruling at a family court hearing in Reading, Berkshire, by Judge Eleanor Owens. Details emerged about the ruling of the boy removed from his parents due to his tooth decay at Reading Family Court, pictured . She was told how the youngster had to have 13 teeth taken out two years ago, when an NHS fact sheet says most children have a full set of 20 teeth. The judge said the boy's parents, who are Latvian, had accepted that their son had suffered from 'poor dental hygiene' due to a diet high in sugar, which had caused tooth decay. She explained that the child had been taken into interim foster care in the summer of 2013, a few months after having the teeth extracted. Judge Owens the ruled that the boy should remain with his foster carers and had been asked to make decisions about his long-term future by local authority social service officials. She said that a number of other concerns had also been raised about the little boy's welfare, including his parents' misuse of alcohol and exposure to domestic violence. The boy's parents were not named, not was the local authority involved. The judge said the boy's parents, who are Latvian, had accepted that their son had suffered from 'poor dental hygiene' due to a diet high in sugar, which had caused tooth decay (file picture) Figures last year by the NHS showed that nearly 500 children a week were being admitted to hospital with tooth decay. It is now the main reason for youngsters needing hospital treatment and dentists say the culprits are fruit juice and fizzy drinks. According to experts, most children need between four and eight of their baby teeth extracted.

Such has been the volatility at the top of the Championship this season that predicting future outcomes has proved a futile exercise, but what is certain is that Middlesbrough hold the aces. With just four weeks remaining, Aitor Karanka's team are top of a division that has witnessed the leadership change hands 15 times. Seven points separate eight teams with six matches to play but Boro know if they keep winning, they cannot be caught. Their buffer over second-placed Bournemouth is a point with Watford, their opponents on Monday, and Norwich a point further back. Patrick Bamford (left) of Middlesbrough celebrates his goal against Wigan with his team mates . Another advantage for the Teesside club is that their contest at Vicarage Road is a lunchtime kick-off. As they discovered on Good Friday, when they triumphed over relegation-threatened Wigan, stealing a march can have a psychological effect. Previous leaders Bournemouth and 10-man Watford could only draw, at Ipswich and Derby respectively, in the evening matches. 'It definitely puts pressure on other teams, like Watford and Bournemouth found on Friday night,' said Boro defender Ben Gibson. 'It gives us a few more hours to recover when the turnaround for games is short and sharp, as well. Monday will be the same, big style.' Watford's 18-goal striker Odion Ighalo intends to have a say in what happens next. Ighalo helped Granada reach La Liga in 2011 and admits he only signed for Watford to play in the English top flight. Odion Ighalo rescued a point for Watford with this equaliser against fellow promotion hopefuls Derby . Bournemouth have been this season's surprise package and led the Championship for 101 days . 'I came to Watford not because I want to play in the Championship but because I have the opportunity to be in the Premier League,' he said. 'Our fans have to scream from the start to the end. I know by God's grace we are going to win that game at home.' Such is the precarious nature of the promotion race, however, that the division could have a completely different top two on Monday evening if Watford and Norwich, who host mid-table Sheffield Wednesday, win and Bournemouth fail to secure three points against Birmingham. With the stakes so high it is perhaps understandable that Karanka is hoping Jonathan Woodgate, his experienced captain, can continue to play through the pain. He missed the recent defeat at Bournemouth due to his broken toe but returned against Wigan. Crucially, each of the defender's five appearances this season, and eight of his last nine, have resulted in wins. Alex Neil (left) has impressed since taking over at Norwich and the Canaries remain in contention at the top . Derby led the way earlier in the season but have now not won in seven games under Steve McClaren . Derby, meanwhile, have seemingly forgotten how to win. Seven games without victory has seen them slump to sixth but Steve McClaren insists he will not sacrifice his principles. McClaren, who takes his team to Wigan, said: 'I don't want

Summary: The race for promotion from the Championship is set to go to the wire . The top four teams in the second tier are separated by just two points . The next four sides in the table are covered by a single point . Bournemouth spent 101 days at the top - the longest this season .


An alligator reportedly attacked and ate a 100-pound dog at an Alabama park in early April. Pooch Mavis was brought to Arlington Park in Mobile sometime last weekend by her owner for a fishing trip, the man's brother, Chris Wilson, told WWLP. Mavis was reportedly close to the park's boat launch as the alligator attacked her after it jumped out of the water. Scroll down for video . Remembered: Pooch Mavis was reportedly attacked and consumed by an alligator earlier this month . Missed: Mavis was reportedly close to the park's boat launch at the time of the alligator's attack . The alligator involved in the attack is being looked for by wildlife officials, WWLP reported. According to the television station, Mavis was from Mobile's Midtown section and viewed as a 'neighborhood dog.' Local resident Nicole Lavirriere told the television station 'Mavis was a lot like my dog.' 'I think she's like the Norm of "Cheers," she was the - you know, Mavis - everybody knew her name,' she told WWLP, laughing. She also told the news station 'She had regular houses that she went to get treats from. 'She knew how to pretty much open up our back door and come in when she wanted to.' Missed: Nicole Lavirriere, who knew Mavis, is seen comforting a young girl after the dog's death . Incident: The alligator struck at the Arlington Park boat launch, pictured . 'There's definitely a loss not seeing her out and about in the front yards of all the neighbors walking around, and greeting people.' Lavirriere was filmed holding a young girl crying, and told her 'Stop, you're going to make me cry.' Arlington Park attendee Jayme Corry said in an interview with WWLP 'We see small [alligators], maybe two or three foot.' 'It definitely makes me scared,' he said. Earlier this month at Florida's Lake Ida, an alligator attacked a German short hair dog which later died from its wounds, the Orlando Sentinel reported. On its website, the University of Florida warns 'It's very important to keep children and pets away from the water's edge wherever alligators are likely to be present. Do not allow dogs to swim or explore waters that are known to have alligators because dogs look like prey to alligators.'

Fit or quit? Smartphone health apps have been accused of ‘fuelling anxiety’ They’re designed to make it easier for you to get healthy. But in fact mobile health apps are ‘fuelling anxiety’ and ‘eroding people’s sense of wellbeing’, warns a senior GP. The ‘untested and unscientific’ apps cause stress by making us worry that we are abnormal or unhealthy, says Dr Des Spence. Popular apps include MyFitnessPal and Apple’s health app, which is automatically installed on the latest Apple smartphones. But Dr Spence warned that newer apps that monitor your heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels could be causing unnecessary worry without providing any benefit. ‘The truth is that these apps and devices are untested and unscientific, and they will open the door of uncertainty’, the Glasgow GP wrote in the British Medical Journal. He added: ‘We should be sceptical of embracing more medical technology. One of the problems we face as doctors is that although people are much healthier, there is a lot more anxiety. ‘People’s sense of wellbeing has been eroded and a lot of that is by technology, use of the internet, that type of stuff. ‘My concern with the health apps is they have the potential to fuel anxiety without any benefit.’ Dr Spence said that manufacturers were more concerned about making a profit than their customers’ wellbeing, with apps purposely designed to make people worry about their health so they would spend more money on health technology, diet pills and slimming firms. ‘The people who write these apps will clearly have a commercial agenda. The underlying ethos of the app will be about profit and not about health’, he said. Apple’s health app comes pre-downloaded on its new phones and automatically tells you how many steps you have walked each day. It can also work out the number of calories you have eaten and burned off, as well as your blood pressure, blood sugar levels and heart rate. Warning: Apps that monitor your heart rate, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels could be causing unnecessary worry, says senior GP . And last month the computer giant launched the Apple Watch, with prices starting from £300, which can also monitor users’ health and fitness. Dr Spence said the majority of apps which just monitor your calorie intake or step count were ‘harmless’, but are unlikely to offer many health benefits. And he warned there was a risk that patients relying on them would feel ‘cheated’ if they developed cancer or heart disease despite trying to follow a healthy lifestyle. However, Dr Iltifat Husain, editor of the iMedicalApps.com website, said there was no evidence health apps caused harm. Also writing in the BMJ, he said they had ‘great potential’ to reduce death risk by ‘encouraging healthy behaviour’.

Kevin Pietersen's attempt to impress the England selectors ended in failure in Cardiff on Sunday afternoon. In the same Swalec Stadium arena where Pietersen hopes to be batting against Australia in the first Ashes Test this summer, the Surrey batsman fell for 19 after appearing to be ready to build on the 170 he made against the Oxford students last week. Pietersen was making his first LV= County Championship appearance since June 2013 in the hope of finding a way back into the England set-up. Kevin Pietersen trudges off the pitch after being dismissed for 19 on his Championship return . Pietersen edges behind off the bowling of Craig Meschede having already survived a scare . The former England star's expression tells the story as he sees the ball held at first slip . The 34-year-old came to the wicket just after lunch with Surrey well placed on 111 for two and he was soon into his stride with two boundaries - one through the legside and the other a fine cover drive - in the same Andy Carter over. Pietersen was fortunate to escape with a mistimed hook off Graham Wagg, which just beat the fine-leg fielder, but he picked up the fourth boundary of his innings when he drove the ball over the head of left-arm spinner Dean Cosker. However, his 28-ball stay ended when he pushed hard at Craig Meschede's medium pace and edged to Colin Ingram at first slip with Surrey reduced to 150 for three. Meschede celebrates removing the Surrey batsman, but the Glamorgan bowlers were made to toil . Pietersen had to watch on as his team-mates piled on the runs, with Surrey reaching 363/3 on day one . Pietersen, who is hoping for an England return, had looked in good form before edging behind . Sri Lankan star Kumar Sangakkara, making his Surrey debut, outshone Pietersen, scoring a century as the visitors piled on the runs on the first day. The 37-year-old put together a huge partnership of over 200 with former England one-day wicketkeeper Steven Davies - who also reached three figures - after Pietersen's departure. Sri Lankan Kumar Sangakarra made a hundred on Surrey debut batting at No 3 .

Summary: Kevin Pietersen playing his first County Championship game for two years . Pietersen was caught at slip off the bowling off Craig Meschede for 19 . Kumar Sangakkara scored a debut century for Surrey after KP was out . Surrey reach 363 for three at stumps on day one against Glamorgan .


Most scientists agree that a bit of stress is good for you, stimulating your body to produce an important hormone called cortisol. But too much is bad for your health and now an expert has revealed exactly why in a video. In it she reveals why prolonged periods of stress - due to money and work, for example - can inhibit the immune system and even lead to weaker bones. Scroll down for video . A University of Nebraska researcher has revealed why stress is bad for you in a video (still image shown). Limited periods of stress are good, as they release the hormone cortisol. This is useful in helping you recover from very tense situations. But too much will lower your immune system and make your bones fragile. The science of stress was explained in a video by Dr Raychelle Burks from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln for the American Chemical Society. Cortisol is known as the 'stress hormone'. Normally, it's present in the body at higher levels in the morning, and at its lowest at night. Although stress isn't the only reason that cortisol is secreted into the bloodstream, it has been termed the 'stress hormone' as it is released when the body is in 'fight or flight' mode. As she explains, when you encounter a stressful situation ‘your body will start releasing [the hormones] adrenaline and norepinephrine within seconds to prepare you to fight - or more likely, take flight.’ After a minute or two your body is flooded with cortisol, which is vital in keeping you healthy in tense situations. Cortisol puts more glucose into your bloodstream so that when the adrenaline is gone you don’t crash. ‘It also kicks your liver into gear, pumping out the extra glucose that’s now sloshing around inside of you,’ Dr Burks explained. But if you stay stressed for too long, it can have negative effects. After a minute or two of being stressed (stock image shown), your body is flooded with cortisol, which is vital in keeping you healthy in tense situations. But too much will lower your immune system, and could also make your bones more fragile, according to Dr Raychelle Burks from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln . ‘Cortisol inhibits some of your immune responses, meaning you’re more likely to get sick and it takes longer for wounds to heal,’ Dr Burks continued. ‘Cortisol also slows bone growth, meaning sustained levels can lead to weaker, more fragile bones. ‘And because cortisol acts on a part of your brain that controls appetite, it also increases your desire for fatty and sugary foods.’ One positive side effect of too much cortisol, though, is that cortisol is good at reducing swelling or itching in its medical form - known as hydrocortisone. However, remaining stressed for too long is still not advisable - and Dr Burks recommends eating healthy food, exercising and getting plenty of sleep to beat stress.

Summary: University of Nebraska researcher has revealed why stress is bad for you . Limited periods of stress are good, as they release cortisol . This is useful in helping you recover from very tense situations . But too much will lower your immune system and make your bones fragile .


Locked up: David Norris, 51, was jailed for 20 years for the attempted murder of his estranged wife . A jilted husband who repeatedly stabbed his estranged wife in a graveyard screaming 'Go to sleep with your mum!' has been jailed for 20 years. David Norris's wife begged him to think of their children as he launched his vicious attack - but he only stopped stabbing her when she 'played dead' and a member of the public intervened. Today he was sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court after being found guilty of attempted murder. Norris, 51, pounced on his wife Dionne in the graveyard of St Nicholas Church in Southfleet, near Gravesend, in Kent, as she was about to lay flowers at the grave of his grandmother on October 11 last year. The pair, whose marriage had broken down in August of that year, had arranged to meet up to lay flowers first at the grave of the victim's mother, then at Norris's grandmother's, as they did every year. Norris collected his wife and they visited the first gravesite before they had a conversation about their marriage and whether it could be saved. She told Norris she did not feel she could forgive him for some of his actions and he told her she had destroyed their family. Mrs Norris said she did not want to argue and they agreed to carry on to the second graveyard as planned. While she was unwrapping the bouquet of flowers, Norris lingered at the car boot before walking over to join her. He said: 'If I can't have you, no one can have you.' He lunged at her, knocking her over and grabbing her round the throat. Screaming, she managed to struggle free momentarily before he jumped on her again, brandishing a knife. She begged him to think of their children but Norris stabbed her repeatedly. A member of the public tried to intervene but Norris threatened him with the knife before turning to stab Mrs Norris again, telling her: 'Go to sleep, go to sleep with your mum.' He walked away and the member of the public returned and called the police, comforting Mrs Norris until the emergency services arrived. She had suffered numerous stab wounds to her upper body, arms and hands, as well as a collapsed lung. Officers immediately began searching for Norris, who had called his sons and an uncle and asked them to meet him as soon as he had left the crime scene. He met them and they convinced him to hand himself in to police. Norris and his wife Dionne had visited St Nicholas Church, Southfleet (pictured) to lay flowers on his grandmother's grave. The 51-year-old then began stabbing his wife, screaming 'Go to sleep with your mum!' He was arrested at North Kent Police Station in Thames Way and charged with attempted murder. Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Inspector Gavin Moss, said: 'Norris attacked his estranged wife after she made it clear to him she had no interest in reconciling. 'He pounced on her when she was having a

Militants fighting for the Islamic State in Iraq have savagely executed 10 doctors who refused to treat wounded members of the terrorist organisation. ISIS jihadis are understood to have been fighting local groups in the Hammam al-Alil area when several of them sustained injuries requiring medical treatment. When the doctors refused on the grounds they do not support the terror group's activities, the men were brutally murdered. Scroll down for video . Details of the doctors' brutal murders in the northern Iraqi desert were reported by the country's Al-Sumaria satellite television network. Local official Mowaffaq Hamid al-Azawi described the city of Mosul as a big open-air prison, where residents are subjected to barbaric torture at the hands of the ISIS terrorists. The news comes as the jihadis reportedly executed 60 Sunni tribal fighters in Iraq's Anbar province. Members of the Al-Karableh, Albu Ubaid, Albu Mahal and Albu Salman tribes were brutally executed after paranoid ISIS militants accused them of collaborating with the Iraqi security forces. Iraqi Army soldiers and the Iran-backed volunteer Shiite militias allied with the Iraqi regime have had great success in pushing ISIS out of key towns and villages recently. Just last week the security forces liberated the city of Tikrit - the birthplace of Saddam Hussein and a strategically important area from which the Iraqi Army will look to recapture Mosul and eventually force ISIS out of the country altogether. Militants: ISIS jihadis (pictured) are understood to have been fighting local groups in the Hammam al-Alil area when several of them sustained injuries requiring medical treatment . This morning U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the U.S. has made progress against ISIS in Iraq but cannot predict how long the fight will take. Speaking at a joint news conference with his South Korean counterpart, Carter said he would not go so far as to say this is the beginning of the end for ISIS in Iraq. ISIS' onslaught plunged Iraq into its worst crisis since the 2011 U.S. troop withdrawal from the country. The militants have also targeted Iraq's indigenous religious minorities, including Christians and followers of the ancient Yazidi faith, forcing tens of thousands from their homes. Since then, ISIS has carved out a self-styled caliphate in the large area straddling the Iraqi-Syrian border that it now controls. In early August, the United States launched airstrikes on the militant group in Iraq, in an effort to help Iraqi forces fight back against the growing threat by the IS militants, who still hold the northern Iraqi province of Ninevah and most of the western province of Anbar, in addition to small areas north of Baghdad in their hands, along with a large swath of land in neighboring Syria. More than 200 Yazidi prisoners have been set free in northern Iraq after nearly a year in Islamic State captivity, Kurdish military has said today. The freed prisoners said that they had been led to believe they were being led to their execution, but instead, were piled onto a minibus that drove them to peshmerga positions. The Yazidis, made up

Summary: Jihadis were fighting in Hammam al-Alil, south of their Mosul stronghold . Several of them sustained injuries so visited local doctors for treatment . Doctors reportedly refused to help because they did not support ISIS . Terrorists then dragged the 10 men out in to the desert and shot them .
