Two brothers who died after one of the boys shot the other then turned the gun on himself have been laid to rest in a joint funeral. Kevin Pimentel, 12, shot dead his six-year-old brother, Brady, as they made dinner inside their mobile home in Hudson, Florida last week - before shooting his older brother in the leg and then taking his own life. The injured brother, 16-year-old Trevor, attended the boys' funeral at St. James the Apostle Catholic Church in a wheelchair on Wednesday, while his divorced parents, Helen Campochiaro and Luis Pimentel, were seen receiving hugs from well-wishers before the service. As many as 400 people attended the memorial for the boys, who would've celebrated their birthdays this week; Kevin would have turned 13 on Monday and Brady would have turned seven on Friday, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

The youngsters died while they were home with their 16-year-old brother. Their mother, who works two jobs to keep the family afloat, and another brother, 18, were not home at the time. Officials said there was no argument or incident that sparked the gunfire.

Using a gun kept on the top shelf in a closet area of the family's mobile home, Kevin then shot Brady in Brady's room, Trevor told police. After wounding his older brother in the leg, he then turned the gun on himself. The deaths came just one day after their mother, 38, set up an account on gofundme, appealing for support for her family. On the page, she explained she had been left injured and financially drained by a recent car crash and needed to find a new place to live within two weeks.

A woman who threatened to jump to her death off a New York City bridge was saved by a group of hero cops who spent more than two hours talking the woman out of jumping. The unidentified woman from Greenpoint, Brooklyn, was apparently distraught over her troubled marriage.

Scroll down for video . A woman walked on to New York City's Kosciuszko Bridge from the Brooklyn side on Monday just before noon, climbed over the railing and stood on a section of metal piping 125 feet above Newtown Creek . Police arrived on scene at about 11.50am and spent more than two hours talking to the woman and trying to calm her down .

A witness said the woman is a 44-year-old Polish mother-of-one who was going through a tough divorce with her husband.

A witness said the woman on the bridge was a 44-year-old mother-of-one from Poland. She reportedly was from Greenpoint, Brooklyn . She agreed to be rescued after police officers spoke to her about her daughter, and was lifted off the bridge 'so she could be with her', a police source said . A witness said she is going through a divorce with her husband and is having 'a difficult time and needs help' By about 2pm, the woman agreed to be rescued and police officers were able to grab the woman by the arms and pull her to safety on the bridge, where she was then taken to Elmhurst Hospital by ambulance for observation.

James McClean's reaction said it all. As Scott Carson's long, hopeful punt downfield floated harmlessly out of play, the talented winger spun in disgust, shook his head and threw open his arms. Wigan are better than this, and they know it. They were 2-1 down at that point, two moments of genius from Ross McCormack and Matt Smith the difference. They rallied to come away from Fulham with a point - it was a night in which new manager Gary Caldwell certainly saw enough to build on - but all at the club know their stay in the Championship is unlikely to be extended beyond May. It is an infuriating situation, the damage inflicted by an ultimately doomed appointment of Malky Mackay incurable this season.

Scorers: Pennant 22, Pearce 69 . Referee: Mick Russell . Attendance: 15,994 . Caldwell must hope he has the character to build next year if they do fail to perform the improbable and remain in this division. Seven points is now the difference, Wigan having played at least a game more than their rivals with just four games to play. Their band of supporters in one corner of Craven Cottage recognise this is not the fault of Caldwell and are actually excited about what the future may hold. No Malky, no problem. But as McClean's annoyance indicates, they are all too aware that this impending relegation should not have been allowed to happen. The frustration is that their squad is more than capable of challenging under the right guidance, but probably won't have the opportunity to do so. Wigan showed guts and dug in for Caldwell, whose more patient style in possession was referenced by the Latics' official Twitter account midway through this. It felt like a sly dig to his predecessor. Matt Smith scores Fulham's second goal to restore their lead against Wigan at Carven Cottage on Friday . Smith slides to his knees as he celebrates putting the home side back in front in the Championship match . And to come from behind twice shows qualities they just did not possess under Mackay. Caldwell, a rugged central defender, will be unhappy with the ease with which McCormack opened the scoring after just four minutes; Harry Maguire's header was

Summary: Wigan twice came from behind to force a draw . Ross McCormack gave Fulham an early lead on four minutes . Jermaine Pennant equalised for Wigan with a stunning free-kick . Matt Smith restored Fulham's lead before half-time . Jason Pearce pulled the visitors level from a corner after the restart .

Thibaut Courtois has achieved a lot in a relatively short time, but the Chelsea goalkeeper is not resting on his laurels with the Premier League title in his sights.

'To win a European Championship or a World Cup with Belgium is another goal. 'But, it is true, when I was a young kid I dreamed of playing in finals and it's nice to have won the Europa League and Super Cup, and won a final against Real Madrid, but hopefully I can achieve much more now.

Guilty: Adam Rushton, 37, took advantage of his post as a beat officer to have sex with women . A policeman convicted of misconduct in a public office after having sex with women he met on duty was today labelled ‘a disgrace’ to the force. Adam Rushton took advantage of being a beat officer in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent, to have sex with women, Birmingham Crown Court heard. The 37-year-old officer was found guilty of five counts of misconduct and another of breaching data protection rules by obtaining personal data. Rushton, from Newcastle-under-Lyme, denied ten counts of misconduct and two of breaching data protection laws while employed by police. He was acquitted on the remaining counts. Staffordshire Police Deputy Chief Constable Nick Baker called Rushton ‘a disgrace to the police service’ who had ‘brought shame on himself, his colleagues’ and the force. Giving evidence, Rushton, who has been with the force for ten years, conceded some of his actions were ‘not very professional’ but claimed it did not amount to criminal misbehaviour. During the trial, he said he never expected to end up in the dock after going to one woman's home and having oral sex. ‘It's not very professional, I fully accept that, and that it's wrong,’ Rushton told jurors. ‘But no way whatsoever did I think I'd be standing here.’ He was convicted over that offence, and of making a social visit to another victim, while on the clock. Rushton was also convicted of having sex with a different woman at her house. He was found guilty on two counts relating to another woman, whom he met outside work, on one occasion having sex with her while on another exchanging ‘playful and flirty’ text messages before going to her home. Beat officer: Rushton has been with Staffordshire Police (whose headquarters are pictured) for ten years . His conviction for breaching data rules was in relation to looking up information relating to a fifth victim. The offences all happened between 2008 and 2012. When first interviewed over the allegations in April 2013, he denied sleeping with all but one of the women, however later accepted he had sex with several others. However, he denied his actions were criminal misconduct. Rushton had an impressive professional record as a neighbourhood policing officer, with many letters of praise from senior officers. But Crown Prosecutor Duncan Bould said the constable's duties brought him into contact with ‘vulnerable and frightened females, often in extreme circumstances’ and he had ‘sought to take advantage of those situations to have sexual activity of some kind with them’. Criticism: Staffordshire Police Deputy Chief Constable Nick Baker (pictured) called Rushton ‘a disgrace to the police service’ after the verdicts . None of the women made any complaints to police about Rushton. He was conditionally bailed after the verdicts were read out and will be sentenced at the crown court on May 1. After the hearing, Mr Baker apologised to the police officer's victims on behalf of the force. He said: ‘This was an astonishing breach of trust by an individual officer and he

A selection of thirsty animals were captured drinking water in their own unique way – and the results are hilarious. Elad Hershkowitz, a zookeeper at the Zoological Center in Tel Aviv, placed a GoPro camera at the bottom of water troughs to capture the different perspectives. The animals – ranging from a rhino who almost kisses the surface of the water to a lemur who delicately licks it – were recorded for a total of 30 hours. Zookeeper Elad Hershkowitz, of the Zoological Center in Tel Aviv, filmed animals drinking on a GoPro camera . He placed the camera in the animals' water troughs and filmed them for a total of 30 hours . The 26-year-old then cut the final footage down to four minutes. He said: ‘Capturing this footage was really special. It offers a completely unique perspective to anything I’ve ever seen before. ‘I had the idea whilst walking around the enclosures and I saw the zebras drinking. ‘It made me curious to see what was going on below so I decided to check how the rest of the animals drink. Hershkowitz said some of the animals were initially sceptical about the foreign object in their troughs . A commanding rhino appears to almost kiss the surface of the water after it purses its lips and takes a drink . ‘There is a massive difference in how each animal drinks. Carnivores, like lions, drink a lot like domesticated cats and dogs. Herbivores like the rhinos and zebras suck up the water with their lips.’ According to Mr Hershkowitz, some of the animals were initially sceptical about the foreign object placed at the bottom of their trough. He said they attempted to check them out by putting their hooves and paws into the water first before going to take a drink. Eventually however, they got used to the camera’s presence and drank freely. A lemur is featured in the four minute footage and delicately licks the surface of the water with its tongue . A herd of zebra humorously bare their teeth while gently sipping the water from their trough . The zookeeper also anticipated a range of reactions from the animals before the experiment and ensured that the camera was secure before it took place. ‘I was really worried the lions would bite off the GoPro, so I placed a sheet of acrylic glass above the camera,’ he said. In the clip the lion can be seen aggressively breaking the surface of the water with its tongue, and is in complete contrast to a herd of zebra, who humorously bare their teeth while gently sipping.

Summary: A zookeeper at the Zoological Center in Tel Aviv recorded the footage . He placed a GoPro at the bottom of the animal's respective water troughs . The final footage was cut down to four minutes from total of 30 hours . Zookeeper said it offers a 'completely unique perspective' to the animals .


Jane Tipper had been walking her dog Molly when the eight-year-old chased a lamb over a cliff . A Border Terrier miraculously survived a 250ft fall after chasing a spring lamb off the edge of a cliff before spending three days stranded on a remote beach. Dog Molly had been on a walk with owner Jane Tipper and her daughter Hannah in Eype, Dorset, last week when the she fell over the cliff's edge along with the lamb. Molly survived a vertical drop of 100ft then rolled 150ft down a steep slope and coming to rest in gorse near the bottom. Her distraught owners managed to see that the eight-year-old had survived the drop, but had no way of getting down to the beach to get her. A team of ten coastguards arrived on the scene and a winchman was lowered down the cliff face but was unable to find her despite four hours of searching. Ms Tipper, who had been celebrating her 64th birthday, was forced to return home in nearby Charmouth without her beloved dog which she has had since she was a puppy. She contacted the website DogLost which arranged for missing posters to be put up in the area. Three days later, Molly was found in an exhaustive state after walking a mile further along the beach to an area popular with dog walkers. It is unclear what had happened, but luckily, she has come through her ordeal relatively unscathed - but there has been no sign of the lamb since the incident. Ms Tipper said: 'I was with my daughter, it was my birthday and we planned a short walk and lunch in a local cafe but we never got there. The border terrier miraculously survived a 250ft fall, including a 100ft vertical drop, in Eype, Dorset, but her owner had no way of reaching her. Coastguards searched thoroughly but were unable to find her . 'Molly's usually very good, she doesn't chase animals. 'She fell about 200ft but the cliff was on a slight slope. I couldn't see her at the bottom but my daughter did so we knew she survived the drop. 'The coastguard winched one of them over the cliff and he went from side to side looking for her but couldn't see her. 'It's rocky there, there's thick patches of gorse and it's extremely dangerous. 'After a couple of hours they said they just couldn't spot her. They were very upset about it.' She added the incident left her 'completely numb'. 'We didn't stop searching at the end of the day,' she said. 'When I got home I phoned as many people as I could think of.' But fortunately, a female dog walker recognised Molly from the lost posters that had been put up in the area on Friday. After Ms Tipper put up missing dog posters, Molly was identified by a dog walker three days after going missing. Pictured right, the cliff face in Dorset where Molly fell . Ms Tipper added: 'The lady was walking her dogs when Molly followed her

They are dangerous in the eyes of parliament. Their characteristics and their training can lead to significant physical injury to one another and they are dangerous to the public. 'I shouldn't need to remind you that animals such as this have attacked members of your community.

Atletico Madrid centre back Miranda has lambasted Serbian referee Milorad Mazic following his side's Champions League encounter against Real Madrid. The Brazil international criticised Mazic's display after the goalless draw at the Vicente Calderon and questioned why officials from 'minor leagues' were able to referee such a high-profile clash.

We had a very bad first half and we were better in the second. 'Now we have to go get the win [in the second leg]. It's a tough game and we will go for the win. We can qualify by scoring a goal.' Miranda is not the only Atletico Madrid star to hit out at Mazic as team-mate Mario Suarez has also taken a swipe at the Serbian official.

The mighty boot of Marcelo Bosch kept the English flag flying in Europe as the Argentinian kicked Saracens through to the Champions Cup semi-finals with a famous last-minute penalty. No chorus of boos or whistles would stop the sweet strike rising above the 1950s tower blocks in the Colombes suburbs, with the ice cool 31-year-old mobbed by players and coaches as Racing Metro 92 were unceremoniously dumped out of the competition. It was the South American’s finest moment since he arrived on continental shores. Referee Nigel Owens was escorted off the pitch by security but his call –penalising replacement lock Fabrice Metz with 10 seconds left on the clock – was the correct decision and ensured a classic finale to match bereft or flair and finesse.

'It was from more or less the same range and it was against our clasico rivals. It was a great memory for me, but it was a long time ago. ‘I tried to be as relaxed as possible. We had the wind in our face and I didn’t want to force it. I tried not to think about what it represented and I said, “Why not? I can take it.” The rest is history.

Police are trying to find a gang of vigilante paedophile hunters accused of posing as children online and then beating up men who agree to meet them. The group working in the North-West has been accused of filming the attacks, the latest of which was on Saturday, and then sending online messages demanding money to keep the film secret. One teenager has told Greater Manchester Police he was beaten up by the gang, who reportedly tricked him into believing he was meeting an underage girl in a church car park after dark. The 19-year-old thought he was meeting a 14-year-old girl he had spoken to on on the internet in Atherton - but when he got there he was attacked by a gang of men who accused him of being a paedophile. Attack: One teenager has told Greater Manchester Police he was beaten up by the gang, who reportedly tricked him into believing he was meeting an underage girl in a church car park in Atherton (pictured) After escaping, the teenager then reported the matter to police and was promptly arrested on suspicion of grooming. He has been bailed while police investigate. In a second similar incident, concerned shoppers called police when they saw a man being beaten up in Market Place in Wigan at about 2.40pm on Saturday. Their target, Andrew O'Neill, 25, has since admitted in court that he groomed an under-age girl. He had made contact on a dating website with a 'girl' called Alex, Wigan Magistrates' Court heard. But after booking a hotel room and turning up to meet the girl in Wigan on Saturday afternoon, he was confronted by a number of men and attacked. Concerned shoppers witnessed the assault on Market Place in the town centre as O'Neill was head-butted and lost two front teeth. Other members of the group filmed the incident. He escaped the attack and went to the police to report the assault. The video was then posted on Facebook with the tag 'NWI Nonce Busters' - believed to be a reference to right-wing group the North West Infidels. The video has since been taken down. O'Neill, formerly of Castlehey, Skelmersdale, was charged by police after reporting the assault and admitted an offence of attempting to meet a girl under 16 following grooming, between April 11 and 18. He was remanded into custody for his own safety and will appear for sentence at Liverpool Crown Court on May 11. Nicola Ormerod, prosecuting, said: 'The defendant has contacted somebody said to be called 'Alex' on a profile on a dating website. 'General discussions then turn flirty and sexual and she said she is 14. Second meeting: Concerned shoppers called police when they saw a man lose his teeth after being beaten up in Market Place in Wigan . 'There's an arrangement made for the two parties to meet. The defendant has already booked a hotel room and is found in possession of a tube of lubricant. 'It's been a set-up profile from a group. He thought this person was 14 and has arranged to

Britain's biggest purpose-built air raid shelter, which could hold 6,500 people, was so sophisticated it even had electric lighting and flush toilets. The tunnels were dug into sandstone cliffs along the River Mersey in Stockport in the 1930s, and were originally intended to provide car parking spaces. But following the outbreak of the Second World War, the space was redeveloped as an air raid shelter where residents of Lancashire and Cheshire could hide from Nazi bombs. Scroll down for video . Shelter: This shows one of the rooms of Britain's largest purpose-built air raid shelter, located in Stockport, Greater Manchester . Safe: A bunker lined with corrugated steel to protect against the possible effects of a Nazi bombing raid during the Second World War . Tunnels: A total of 6,500 people could fit into the shelter, which was made up of a network of interconnecting passages . Entrance: The shelter has been converted into a museum, replicating the conditions which would have been found 75 years ago . The shelter became so popular that local officials had to issue season tickets limiting the number of people who would be allowed to seek refuge there. The cliffs were first dug out to provide cellars for homes along Chestergate, one of the busiest streets in Stockport. As part of a plan to widen the roads, the local council bought and demolished the houses, and planned to convert the cellars into an underground car park. An engineering survey showed that the space was in fact unable to become a car park - but the advent of war meant that it was needed as an air raid shelter. Bathroom: The women's toilets, equipped with a proper flush, located deep inside the Stockport air raid shelter . Gadgets: A radio, blood pressure monitor and lamp from the 1940s, pictured inside the air raid shelter's first aid section . Medicine: The shelter had a first aid room to help any residents who were injured by the bombing raids . Equipment: Gas masks which were kept in the shelter are pictured left; right is the sick bay, where people could seek shelter while unwell . Extent: The shelter was going to be turned into a car park, but officials discovered that its long tunnels were unsuitable for the purpose . Curator Howard Green said: 'The official capacity was 3,850, so outside they painted 4,000 - but what they didn't advertise was that they thought they could squeeze twice as many in if needs be. 'They were used extensively by people from Manchester and Salford, and even as far as Eccles. Stockport was less of a target, and the underground shelters were a particularly safe place. 'What they did was introduce season tickets - they were issued to locals, although you could write in if you had difficult circumstances. We still have some letters from people in Manchester who'd been bombed out several times. 'It was really only a way of damping down demand, nobody was denied entrance in an alert. In the winter of 1940 and '41, it went

Summary: Air raid shelter in Stockport was dug out of caves along the River Mersey and intended to be a car park . With the advent of the Second World War, the space became a shelter which could hide thousands of people . The air raid shelter was so popular the authorities had to issue season tickets in order to control numbers .

Sam Allardyce has fired a warning to full back Aaron Cresswell - whose been linked with a move to Manchester City - that the grass isn't always greener and he should look at Jack Rodwell and Scott Sinclair as examples. The West Ham star has had a fine debut season in the Premier League, with a number of big clubs circling him for a possible summer move. But Allardyce believes that City's previous British purchases speak volumes and that the 25-year-old should remain where he is. Aaron Cresswell (left) has been linked with a move to Manchester City but Sam Allardyce has warned him . He wrote in his Evening Standard column: 'What makes players like him attractive to big clubs is that he is home-grown and squads must have eight of those in the Premier League. 'Jack Rodwell and Scott Sinclair, for example, both spent time at City but did not play a great deal. 'They're featuring more regularly now, for Sunderland and on loan at Aston Villa respectively, but the decision for a player like Sinclair is would he be willing to join another club on a permanent deal if it meant less money?' The left back scored a stunning free-kick last weekend against Stoke, as he showed his attacking prowess, as well as his defensive solidity. It remains to be seen if Cresswell will be at the club next season but with an England call-up being touted, West Ham may face a tough task of keeping their prized asset. Allardyce will be praying he can keep his prized asset from the clutches of the big clubs such as City . Cresswell scored a stunning free-kick against Stoke at Upton Park on Saturday to put them in front . Jack Rodwell (right) moved to City from Everton but struggled before leaving the club for Sunderland .

The records just keep tumbling for Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid. After his strike against Rayo Vallecano, the Portuguese forward now has 300 goals for Los Blancos, despite having played in Madrid for only six seasons, amassing 288 appearances. He has well and truly made his name as a legend at the Santiago Bernabeu, only trailing Raul and Alfredo di Stefano in the club standings. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 300 goals for Real Madrid in just six years with the La Liga giants . The Portuguese forward is catching Raul's (l) club record and is just seven goals shy of Alfredo di Stefano (r) Ronaldo heads home his 300th goal for the club - against Rayo Vallecano at the Vallecas Stadium in Madrid . 323 - Raul . 308 - Alfredo di Stefano . 300 - Cristiano Ronaldo . 289 - Carlos Santillana . 242 - Ferenc Puskas . Ronaldo has scored 206 with his right foot, 52 with his left, even managing 41 with his head. 46 of his goals at Real have been outside the box, many of them screamers. After claiming two FIFA Ballon d'Or awards during his time in Spain, as well as glory in La Liga and the Champions League, many would be running out of motivation, scratching around for more records to break. But Ronaldo, 30, doesn't only have the status of Raul or Di Stefano to look up to, but also Barcelona rival Lionel Messi, who is younger, and seemingly still improving. But there are other poachers that have formed their goalscoring reputation at one club, including a Portugal legend and an Everton hero who the former Manchester United man could draw inspiration from. Ronaldo celebrates after scoring his first goal (vs Deportivo in 2009, above), and his most recent (below) THE TOP 10 ONE-CLUB SCORERS OF ALL TIME . 10) Dixie Dean, Everton (1925-37) 383 . Dean is the widely regarded as greatest player to have been born on Merseyside, and scored 60 goals in one league season in 1927/28. Impressed? He achieved that record after fracturing his skull and jaw in a motorcycling accident. Former Everton striker Dixie Dean is widely regarded as the greatest striker ever born on Merseyside . 9) Willy van der Kuijlen, PSV (1964-81) 394 . When his career started in Eindhoven, part of Der Kuijlen's motivation was to work at Phillips. He ended up with almost 400 goals, and was still only capped 22 times by the Dutch national side. Willy van der Kuijlen of PSV runs with the ball in the UEFA Cup match against Bastia in 1978 . 8) Lionel Messi, Barcelona (2004-present) 398* . Staggeringly, this Argentine forward is only 27. As the star of a mightily impressive Barelona team, expect Messi to climb up this list considerably over the next 10 years. Lionel Messi is closing in on the 400 mark with Barcelona and should rapidly rise up the scoring charts . 7) Zico, Flamengo (1971-83 and 1985-89) 401 . An attacking midfielder in the top 10? Often called the 'White Pele', Zico encapsulated

The creator of the best-selling Alex Rider spy novels has accused fellow children’s author David Walliams of dumbing-down fiction and failing to ‘challenge’ young readers. Anthony Horowitz said books by the comedian – who was the UK’s top-selling children’s author last year – are ‘witty and entertaining’ but nowhere near ambitious enough. The 59-year-old novelist and screenwriter singled out Walliams’ Gangsta Granny for criticism, as well as the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid books by author Jeff Kinney. Scroll down for video . Author Anthony Horowitz (pictured right) said books by comedian David Walliams (left) – who was the UK’s top-selling children’s author last year – are ‘witty and entertaining’ but nowhere near ambitious enough . He insisted that such writers should challenge their young readers and not be ‘afraid of powerful stories or serious ideas’. He suggested they should follow the example of authors such as John Green and ‘write up for children, not down to them’. Green’s book, The Fault In Our Stars, tells the story of two teenagers who fall in love while they are both dying of cancer, and was the top-selling title of 2014, with more than 870,000 copies sold. Horowitz, who is also the principal writer on the ITV period detective drama Foyle’s War, singled out Gangsta Granny, with its breaking-wind jokes and a character who perpetuates the myth that children ‘automatically dislike reading’. Writing in the Times Educational Supplement, he said he was troubled that children’s books ‘seem to have come full circle’. Walliams made over £7million in 2014 from book sales including The Boy in the Dress and Demon Dentist . He added: ‘To some extent, narrative fiction was reinvented by JK Rowling – it’s hard to believe that children weren’t challenged by books that stretched to 760 pages – and a phalanx of writers crested on her success: Michael Morpurgo, Philip Pullman, Jacqueline Wilson, Malorie Blackman, Eoin Colfer, Darren Shan... and me. 'Today it is Jeff Kinney and David Walliams who top the bestseller lists, with books that are witty and entertaining but nowhere near as ambitious.’ He added: ‘Speaking personally, I was a little sad when, in Walliams’ Gangsta Granny, we were told that among the old woman’s vices, which included dribbling and farting: “Her house was stuffed full of books and she was always trying to get Ben to read them, even though he loathed reading”.’ Horowitz said ‘the idea that children automatically dislike reading or that books belong to a more fusty, ancient generation is patently absurd’. His Alex Rider books, the first of which was published in 2000, have been ‘brightly re-jacketed’, and are ‘as popular as ever’. They have sold 19million copies in 30 different languages, he pointed out. Horowitz said: ‘Quite recently, I addressed an audience of largely unpublished writers in New York and I stand by the advice that I gave them. ‘Write up for children, not down to them. We don’t need to be afraid of powerful stories or serious ideas. The audience is there.’ Walliams last year made more than £7million from book sales.

Summary: Author Anthony Horowitz has accused David Walliams of dumbing down . Claims Walliams fails to challenge young readers with unambitious books . Horowitz argues authors should not be afraid of 'powerful stories or ideas'


Common creams used to treat athlete's foot and eczema could undo the damage of multiple sclerosis, scientists claim. The surprise discovery could pave the way to ground-breaking new therapies for the devastating auto-immune disease ,which affects around 2.5 million worldwide. Scientists found that the anti-fungal agent miconazole and the steroid clobetasol both restored movement to mice paralysed by a rodent version of multiple sclerosis (MS). In laboratory tests, they prompted inactive mouse and human stem cells to regenerate myelin, the protective insulation-like coating around nerve fibres that is destroyed by the disease. Common creams used to treat athlete's foot and eczema could cure multiple sclerosis, scientists claim . Dr Robert Miller, of the US team from Case Western Reserve University who carried out the study, said the results marked a significant breakthrough. He said: 'It was a striking reversal of disease severity in the mice. 'The drugs that we identified are able to enhance the regenerative capacity of stem cells in the adult nervous system. 'This truly represents a paradigm shift in how we think about restoring function to multiple sclerosis patients.' Miconzanole is sold over the counter in most pharmacies as a cream to treat athlete's foot, while clobetasol cream is commonly prescribed to treat eczema. Although both drugs are widely used, a way must be found to use them safely as internal human treatments rather than creams or ointments before clinical trials can be considered. The researchers are confident this problem can be solved, but have warned patients not to jump the gun by using the drugs prematurely. Lead scientist Professor Paul Tesar, from Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, said: 'We appreciate that some patients or their families feel they cannot wait for the development of specific approved medications, but off-label use of the current forms of these drugs is more likely to increase other health concerns than alleviate multiple sclerosis symptoms. 'We are working tirelessly to ready a safe and effective drug for clinical use.' MS is a condition of the central nervous system, where the coating around nerve fibres (called myelin) is damaged, causing a range of symptoms. The specific symptoms that appear depend upon which part of the central nervous system is affected and the job of the damaged nerve. People with MS might suffer fatigue, vision problems and difficulties with walking, but the condition is different for everyone. Symptoms can come and go and can vary greatly in terms of severity . There may be periods of relapse of varying length and severity. At present, there is no cure for MS but the symptoms can be treated. It is usually diagnosed in people aged 20 to 40, and it affects almost three times as many women as men. Worldwide, it is estimated that more than 2.5 million people have MS. Source: Multiple Sclerosis Trust . MS occurs when the immune system attacks myelin, thereby disrupting the passage of nerve signals. As the disease progresses, it produces symptoms ranging from mild numbness or tingling to full blown paralysis. Occasionally, it can prove fatal. Although current treatments

Summary: Active ingredients in creams were found to cure multiple sclerosis (MS) They prompted stem cells to reverse the nerve damage caused by MS . Cells regenerated myelin, the coating around nerve fibres that MS destroys . Team is looking for ways the creams can be safely used as treaments .


Lyon moved back to the top of Ligue 1 for 24 hours at least after claiming a comfortable 3-1 victory at Guingamp. Nabil Fekir's goal and Alexandre Lacazette's penalty in the first half put Les Gones in control and Guingamp's hopes of a comeback took a blow when Christophe Kerbrat was given his marching orders before half-time. Clinton N'Jie struck just after the hour to put Hubert Fournier's side three goals to the good, meaning Claudio Beauvue's effort 10 minutes from time was only a consolation. Alexandre Lacazette celebrates after scoring a penalty for Lyon to send them top of Ligue 1 on Saturday . It was Lyon's first win in three and moved them back above Paris St Germain, who play third-placed Marseille in a much-anticipated encounter on Sunday evening. Two quick-fire second-half penalties saw Montpellier come from behind to beat Bastia 3-1 and move six points off the European places. Lucas Barrios and Anthony Mounier both struck from the spot within two minutes to cancel out Giovanni Sio's opener - with Morgan Sanson adding a third for the hosts in stoppage time. It was Lyon's first win in three and moved them back above Paris St Germain who play on Sunday . Lille got back to winning ways in emphatic fashion with a 3-1 triumph over strugglers Reims. Sebastien Corchia and Divock Origi put the hosts 2-0 up before Nicolas de Preville pulled one back for Reims but Nolan Roux added gloss to the scoreline at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. At the other end of the table Rennes took a significant step closer to survival with a 3-0 win at Lorient, whose own hopes of avoiding the drop received another hit. Edson Mexer gave Rennes a 17th-minute lead and then goals either side of half-time from Sylvain Armand and Abdoulaye Doucoure ensured Philippe Montanier's men would be returning home with the points. Lille's French forward Nolan Roux is congratulated by teammates after scoring in their 3-1 win over Reims . Metz gave themselves at least some hope of staying up as Modibo Maiga's hat-trick earned them a 3-2 victory over relegation rivals Toulouse. Wissam Ben Yedder gave Toulouse a 21st-minute lead but Maiga - on loan from West Ham - quickly equalised, put Metz ahead before half-time and completed his treble early in the second period. Toulouse then had Marcel Tisserand sent off and could only manage a late consolation from Tongo Doumbia. Metz gave themselves at least some hope of staying up as Modibo Maiga's hat-trick earned them a 3-2 victory . Nice and Evian both picked up another point in their battles for survival following a 2-2 draw at the Allianz Riviera. Evian took a 18th-minute lead through Dany Nounkeu, Daniel Wass having wasted an earlier chance to put them in front from the penalty spot, but they had to rely on an Adrien Thomasson equaliser 12 minutes from time to earn a share of the spoils. Goals either side of half-time from Alexy Bosetti and Valentin Eysseric had turned the match in Nice's favour. Nice and Evian both

Ben Flower was given the honour of leading Wigan's victory song after helping them to a 30-20 win over Warrington on his return from a six-month suspension. The 27-year-old Wales forward did not get among the scorers but he did enough to impress coach Shaun Wane on his first appearance since being sent off in the Warriors' Grand Final defeat by St Helens last October. 'I thought he looked a bit serious, he's not done anything for six months,' Wane said. 'I was a bit apprehensive for him but I thought he played really well - he belted a few people - and he led the song in the dressing room. Wigan Warriors forward Ben Flower takes on Warrington's Micky Higham (left) and Roy Asotasi . 'It's good to have him back. He's been vilified in the press but he's a really nice bloke.' The return of Flower dominated the build-up to the Super League derby while the half-time announcement that Sam Tomkins is returning to the club on a four-year contract made it a night to remember for Wane. 'Everything is great,' Wane said. 'It's fantastic getting these players back. We should be very proud. It's a great coup for us, it just shows we do some things right.' On the field, winger Dom Manfredi provided the highlight with his second hat-trick of tries in five days as the Warriors three times came from behind to secure a fourth win in five matches to consolidate third place in the table. Ryan Hampshire, Anthony Gelling and Liam Farrell also touched down while centre Chris Bridge scored two tries for the visitors, who had led 10-0 after 10 minutes. Flower struggles to control the ball as Warrington forward Ben Currie lines him up the for hit . 'It was a bit of tick and pass at times, which is disappointing, but I thought our attack was good,' Wane said. 'We gifted them a couple of tries with poor one-on-one misses but it was win at all costs for us and we got the win. 'Competition is driving up the skill levels and we're going to get better. We are going to put a real complete performance in soon.' The defeat leaves Warrington outside the top four but coach Tony Smith was encouraged by his side's performance. 'It was a great effort by both teams and another great game,' he said. 'We produce some of the best games between us but, at the moment, we're coming out on the wrong side of them. 'I think both coaches will be looking for some improvement in defence but some special rugby league was played. Sometimes you've just got to go 'wow', it's pretty hard to stop if they are going to go to those lengths to score tries. Dom Manfredi crosses for a Wigan try despite the attention of Toby King . 'The start of the second half really hurt us, it sapped our energy when they were throwing the ball around like a basketball. 'The second half wasn't great for us but we're heading in

Summary: Wigan posted a 30-20 win against Warrington on Thursday night . Ben Flower was making his first appearance for Wigan in six months . Flower was banned following his red card in last year's Grand Final . The Wales forward was sent off for an attack on Lance Hohaia . Sam Tomkins is also returning to Wigan on a four-deal next season .


A virulent strain of bird flu continues to hammer the Midwest and the virus recently took its biggest toll yet after it hit a farm in Iowa that held nearly 10 percent of the state's egg-laying chickens. Poultry producers and scientists had been hoping warmer weather would knock down the deadly bird flu virus. But the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday that the H5N2 bird flu virus had been found at a farm in northwest Iowa's Osceola County - prompting a massive bird cull. Bird flu: Chickens stand in their cages at a farm near Stuart, Iowa. Discovery of the bird flu on an Iowa turkey farm has raised serious concerns that the bird killer could find its way into chicken barns in the nation's top egg-producing state and rapidly decimate the flocks that provide the U.S. with its breakfast staple . The confirmation means up to 5.3 million hens there must be destroyed in a state that produces one in every five eggs consumed in the country. Seven other Midwestern states have also been hit by the virus, dooming nearly 7.8 million turkeys and chickens since March. The virulent strain in question is the H5N2, a highly contagious virus that kills commercial poultry quickly once it gets into a barn. Yet the risk to the public is considered low and infected birds are being kept out of the food supply. So far, only two egg operations have been hit — the one in Iowa and one in Wisconsin. Except for a couple of backyard flocks, all the other cases in the Midwest have been at commercial turkey farms. Minnesota has had 28 turkey farms hit, far more than any other state. Turkey farm: In this photo provided by Bethany Hahn is a flock of turkeys at a Minnesota poultry farm. The country's poultry industry may have to live with a deadly bird flu strain for several years according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture . Precautions: Most commercial poultry barns are shut tight to keep the diseases out, and poultry farms with good biosecurity strictly limit who is allowed in - but is does not always protect poultry from bird flu . Officials say that's because Minnesota is the top turkey-producing state, and its thousands of lakes and ponds are attractive to migrating ducks and other waterfowl. H5N2 and other highly pathogenic strains have also been found since late last year among wild birds, backyard flocks and commercial farms in some western states and British Columbia. U.S. Department of Agriculture officials say the virus could be a problem for several years. The USDA's chief veterinary officer, Dr. John Clifford, said last week that while new cases should drop close to zero once the weather warms up and kills off the virus there's 'very likely' to be a resurgence this fall when the wild waterfowl that are natural carriers of avian influenza fly south for the winter. An outbreak that kills tens of thousands of birds certainly can cost a farm dearly. The government doesn't compensate producers for birds that die

Summary: The deadly H5N2 bird flu virus has been found at a farm in northwest Iowa . Up to 5.3 million hens must be destroyed in the state to contain outbreak . Seven other Midwestern states have also been hit by the deadly virus . Minnesota, the top turkey-producing state has been severally effected . Nearly 7.8 million turkeys and chickens have died or been culled since March .


Melbourne radio broadcaster John Burns has been revealed as the media personality alleged to have vilified Richmond's Bachar Houli. Burns, who hosts 3AW morning show Ross and John with Ross Stevenson, is alleged to have referred to Houli as a 'terrorist' at a club function at the MCG on Friday night during the Tigers' match against Melbourne. The radio station confirmed a complaint has been made against Mr Burns and said he doesn't recall making the comment, and is 'mortified' by the allegation. 3AW host John Burns (pictured) has been named as the media personality who allegedly called Bachar Houli a 'terrorist' John Burns said a friend sitting with him at the time also didn't recall the comment being made. Mr Burns spoke to 3AW's Tom Elliott on Monday afternoon and said that while he didn't recall making such a comment, he apologised unreservedly if any offence had been caused. 'The game was underway and the person in front of me turned around and said 'what did you say'?' Mr Burns said on the radio show. 'I wasn't aware of having said anything really and I don't recall what I said but he alleged that I made a comment that was offensive. 'I don't recall that comment.' Mr Burns went on to claim that the person he was sitting with did not hear his comment. When quizzed by Tom Elliot on how much liquor he had consumed during the game, Mr Burns said he had enjoyed himself but alcohol did not contribute to the events. He said he couldn't even begin to imagine what words of his might have been misconstrued but went on to tell Tom Elliot that he 'didn't say anything like accidental tourists, I wouldn't think'. 'I can't recall saying anything that I intended to be offensive to anybody on the other side of the game.' Mr Elliot told Mr Burns that he has heard the term 'terrorist' and 'jihadist' being used to describe Bachar Houli on numerous occasions at matches, however Mr Burns said he has never witnessed this. Bachar Houli (pictured) became the first Muslim man to play at top level AFL in 2006 . He said Mr Houli is a 'delightful man'. Mr Houli became the first Muslim to play AFL the game at the top level in 2006, when he was employed by Essendon. The 27-year-old moved to Richmond in 2011 and has since taken on the role of multicultural ambassador. In a statement, Mr Burns again apologised 'unreservedly', in particular to the people at the match and members of the Richmond Football Club. 'I had the pleasure of attending the Richmond Football Club function on Friday night,' Mr Burns said. 'During the match, I sat with a friend and we were catching up and talking about the game. It has been suggested to me that during a conversation with my friend, I was overheard saying something which that person found offensive. 'I have no recollection of making an offensive remark. 'However, I acknowledge that a complaint has been made and the idea that something

Salads in British supermarkets are being grown by workers treated like ‘slaves’ who live in filthy conditions, an investigation has found. Migrant workers producing vegetables exported to Britain say they are denied basic hygiene facilities while working and are forced to use bushes near where the vegetables are being grown as toilets. They are not provided with soap or water to wash their hands, while some live in filthy shacks made of wood and plastic sheeting near the fields in southern Spain. They claim they are treated like slaves by agencies who hire them to produce the salads and vegetables that end up on supermarket shelves in Britain, the investigation by Channel 4 News found. They also say they are made to work around dangerous pesticides – causing some to fall ill – and are routinely left unpaid for hours they have worked. The revelations will horrify millions of customers of British supermarkets, all of which tell consumers their food is produced ethically and that workers are treated fairly. And they will lead to claims that the bitter price war which has seen supermarkets slash prices in a bid to compete with discounters Aldi and Lidl has led to ruthless exploitation of the vulnerable. A firm that supplies salad and vegetables to Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Asda is among those accused of using mistreated workersSome workers say they have developed horrific sinus conditions and bronchitis as a result of being sprayed with the pesticides while producing the vegetables in the fields of Murcia. Cleaning: Some live in filthy shacks made of wood and plastic sheeting near the fields in Almeria southern Spain . Yesterday British politicians demanded an urgent investigation, saying the evidence was ‘appalling’ and appeared to show ‘effectively slave labour producing food in 2015’. Sainsbury’s and Waitrose said they would investigate immediately. All the major British supermarkets claim they source food responsibly. And they have all signed up to tough rules to promote workers’ rights under the global Ethical Trading Initiative, designed to protect labourers. The revelations centre on workers in Murcia and Almeria from where millions of pounds worth of vegetables are exported to the UK every year. Workers in one field in Murcia were filmed being sprayed with pesticides. One vegetable picker working for a firm in Almeria supplying courgettes to the UK told of the filthy conditions in which he was made to work. ‘For the toilet you have to go in the bushes,’ he said. ‘What is there to clean yourself? For these courgettes to reach England, there are workers who have suffered a lot.’ Growing trade: The workers say they have to work around dangerous pesticides - causing some to fall ill . He said workers at his company, based in Almeria, were also sprayed with pesticides but were too afraid to complain because their names would be put on a blacklist known as ‘the list of rotten sardines’. Lettuce: The revelations will lead to claims that the bitter supermarket price war has led to ruthless exploitation of the vulnerable . The

Summary: Vegetables sold in UK are grown by workers 'denied basic hygiene facilities' in Almeria, Spain . Almeria workers use bushes near where vegetables are being grown as toilets . Some live in filthy shacks made of wood and plastic sheeting near fields in Almeria . Claim to be sprayed with pesticides and be left unpaid for hours worked . Watch the full film tonight on Channel 4 News at 7pm. An article of 15 April reported on a Channel 4 investigation into the treatment of salad and vegetable workers in Southern Spain who live and work in filthy conditions without basic toilet and hand washing facilities, forcing them to urinate near produce. Those allegations were not made against Agroherni Group in Murcia but relate to separate companies elsewhere in Spain, in Almeria. We apologise to the Agroherni Group for any damage caused.


England Under 21 captain Jack Butland has revealed voting for team-mate Harry Kane as this season's PFA Young Player of the Year and hopes the Tottenham hotshot can help him emulate goalkeeping skipper Iker Casillas at the European Championship in the Czech Republic this summer. Butland joined his England manager Gareth Southgate and former World Cup legend Michael Owen at St George's Park on St George's Day as around 35 local schoolchildren from the east Midlands were put through their paces by FA skills coaches at England's plush headquarters. The 22-year-old Stoke City goalkeeper is bidding to be the first England captain to lift the European Under 21 championship since Dave Sexton's team won the trophy in 1984 and Kane is expected to be a big part of their team as they attempt to end 31 years of hurt.

England U21 boss Southgate demonstrates a drill as 35 local school children were put through their paces . FA chief Greg Dyke has said that Kane's agent had called him to say the Spurs striker wanted to be part of the Three Lions team in June even though he has to go to Australia first for a post-season friendly with his club. On his decision to vote for Kane for the PFA award, Butland said: 'For someone who hadn't previously been given a lot of opportunities, he's been phenomenal. He's come out of nowhere and shown what he's about. 'He has constantly been 100 per cent driven and his finishing is among the best I've seen even though he is young. 'For me, there's not a player of the same age near him.' Kane took his tally of goals to 30 for the season with this strike against Newcastle last Sunday . Butland hopes Kane can fire the young Lions to European Championship glory this summer . Butland was part of the ill-fated England side that crashed out of the Under 21 finals at the group stages two years ago, though he did help the Under 17s win their European Championship in 2010. He said: 'With no World Cup or Olympics, it's a chance to grab peoples attention and show there is hope if you like and that there are good players coming through. 'With the incredibly gifted players we have in this country, we need to produce at a higher level. Players like myself, Nathaniel Chalobah and Nathan Redmond experienced tournament football and won it with the Under 17s and that should help massively. Kane has declared that he wants to play in the tournament in the Czech Republic this summer . 'It can bring a calming influence to the group, we will be able to to give a few words of advice here and there and give people an idea of what to expect.'
