Dawn was breaking as we pulled out of Calvi station, and the town's medieval citadel, perched on a headland, was bathed in the rosy glow of the first rays of sunlight. Trundling along the coast on the narrow-gauge railway, I was heading deep into the mountains of central Corsica for a self-guided walking trip. 'Are you doing the GR20?' was the question on everyone's lips as soon as they spotted my hiking boots. I responded with an emphatic 'non'. The trail, which runs down the mountainous spine of the island, happens to be the toughest trek in Europe. The Corsican Mouflon, or mountain sheep, make easy work of the tough GR20 hiking trail . The GR20 trail runs down the mountainous spine of Corsica and happens to be the toughest trek in Europe . I had chosen a much gentler route, or so I thought. I was following the ancient Sentiers de Transhumance, footpaths used for more than 1,000 years by shepherds leading their animals to summer pastures. It started in the remote Golo Valley, a wild and desolate canyon flanked by barren cliffs. After trudging up a stony ledge high above the valley floor the first morning, I began to wonder what I had taken on. Over the following days I found myself scrambling over dry river beds, scaling rock-strewn gullies and clinging to cable handrails as I inched across wobbly suspension bridges. Everywhere I looked the views were jaw-dropping. Fortunately, I was travelling in comfort with my luggage transported from one hotel to the next, so all I needed was a daypack and water bottles filled to the brim. The Golo Valley, where the ancient Sentiers de Transhumance used for more than 1,000 years begins . Most of the trails were clearly marked with orange daubs of paint and I was equipped with maps and detailed instructions. Even so, there were times when I got hopelessly lost. Accommodation ranged from small auberges to family-run hotels. The first night I stopped at the Casa Balduina, a simple B&B in Calacuccia, where I was welcomed by owner Jeanne with Earl Grey tea and home-made fruitcake in her shady garden. Each morning I would set off early to avoid the blistering midday sun. The average hike was five to seven hours and at times I walked for ages without meeting another soul. The water below one of the hiking track's footbridges proves too enticing to not jump in for a swim . Sometimes I'd pause beside little packhorse bridges to dangle my feet in water that was as clear as gin. At the Piscine Naturelle, an emerald rock pool in the midst of the pine trees, I took a deep breath and plunged in up to my neck for a refreshing dip. It was cold as ice. I stayed at the Hotel Aitone further up the hillside which served hearty Corsican fare in its panoramic restaurant. Tucking into Civet de Sanglier, a wild boar casserole, I watched a crimson sun slip below the sea. Next day I decided to cheat and cut short

It's the summer hang out of choice for Hiltons, Jenners, supermodels and many others with a money-is-no-object lifestyle, so it's no wonder Coachella hits the hip pocket hard. Those lucky enough to snag a ticket to the star-studded – on and off the stage - Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, which runs for its second weekend from April 17-19, are spending more than any other major festival goers. While checking out headliners such as AC/DC, Jack White, Florence and the Machine and Madonna, who bizarrely made out with rapper Drake on Sunday, Coachella visitors pay an average of £187 per day according to Travel money specialist No.1 Currency. Scroll down for video . Those who enjoy the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California pay more than other revellers . The likes of Alessandra Ambrosio (centre) take in the famous fest that costs an average £187 per day . The Californian A-list magnet is narrowly ahead of Belgium’s Tommorowland for per-day costs according to the company after it ranked the price of the world’s most popular summer festivals, not including the cost of getting there, with costs varying drastically depending on the destination. If they indeed are required to reach into their own wallets, the likes of Alessandra Ambrosio and Brooklyn Beckham pay the highest-priced admission (£252), beer (£5.73) and meal costs (£9) of any summer fest. Tomorrowland, which this year features club superstars Carl Cox, David Guetta and Avicii when it’s held on July 25, costs its visitors £186 per day. England’s Glastonbury, running June 24 to 28 and featuring Foo Fighters in 2015, is the third most expensive with a £113 per day cost calculated from the five-day £565 ticket and an estimated average of £68 per day for meals and drinks. The price is clearly no object for revellers though as the festival, which includes camping prices in admission, was sold out in just 25 minutes back in October.

Their Chipotle lunch became a media storm. But that was just the start for Hillary Clinton's most trusted aide Huma Abedin. And so, relishing her final taste of freedom before the presidential campaign kicks off, the notoriously low-profile staffer enjoyed a family day out in New York - with another Mexican bite. The 38-year-old was spotted with her husband, disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner, and two-year-old son Jordan tucking into her second spicy menu of the week on Saturday afternoon. Scroll down for video . Before the campaign heats up: Hillary Clinton's aide Huma Abedin (left) was spotted grabbing a Mexican lunch with husband Anthony Weiner and three-year-old son Jordan at quaint Tortaria in New York on Saturday . Low profile: Weiner (second left) and Adebin wore baseball caps as they enjoyed their lunch with their son. Weiner had swung his cap backwards for the dining portion . Skipping Chipotle: Their restaurant of choice was two doors down from the popular fast food Mexican diner . Abedin and Clinton were seen ordering a burrito bowl and a salad in an Iowa Chipotle this week but came under fire after staff complained Abedin did not put any change in the tip jar. Chipotle does not always have tip jars . The family was pictured inside at a table, where Weiner swung his New York Mets baseball cap backwards while he ate. It is just a few days after Abedin and Clinton were spotted, sunglasses on, in an Iowa branch of fast food favorite Chipotle. Grabbing a burrito bowl and a salad, the pair dashed back out to the 'Scooby Van' - and failed to pay a tip. This time, with her boss out of sight, Abedin side-stepped Chipotle and opted instead for a more upmarket eatery next door: Tortaría. Weiner and Abedin both wore baseball caps in the restaurant off Union Square, where tortas range from $7.50 to $11. As well as food served at the table, customers can also buyMexican fare to use at home. Weiner, a former congressman, fell from grace after sending explicit images to women over Twitter. He ordered the family's food as his wife sat with headphones in listening to a conference call. Abedin's husband Weiner is the disgraced former congressman who was caught sending explicit images to women over Twitter's private message system. The couple stayed together throughout the saga in 2011 . The family will no doubt have to ride out more storms with fierce Republican campaigns against Hillary . Classy: The restaurant also doubles as a bodega, selling Mexican-inspired pantry staples . Keen to get going: Abedin looks back as Weiener brings up the rear, holding his son's scooter and helmet in one hand . It was a quiet and relaxed day for the family as they embark on a doubtless hectic journey toward the 2016 election.

'I'm concerned that the plane with the baggage is really getting heavy

We spent £400 on a 1940s loo - it took us four months to find one! Claire Nugent, 43, and Nigel Morter, 47, have been married for 14 years. They restored a 1940s airfield control tower in Norfolk and now run it as a B&B. She says: . When Nigel and I met as students in 1993 we soon discovered we both absolutely loved the 1940s. I had a beautiful mirror from the period that still hangs over our fireplace. We love the style because there’s such an attention to detail in everything from the handles through to the surfaces. When we moved in together after university, we’d scour the local North London markets for 1940s pieces while checking out bric-a-brac shops and antique dealers on holiday. I’ve always found other people are more interested in earlier items from Victorian, Edwardian or Georgian times, so we’re usually left to take our pick. Scroll down for video . Claire Nugent, 43, and Nigel Morter, 47, have been married for 14 years. They restored a 1940s airfield control tower in Norfolk and now run it as a B&B . In 2011, our dreams came true when we bought a World War II airfield control tower near Wells-next-the-Sea for £295,000. It had been used as accommodation or a grain store since the war so needed a lot of work — we spent nearly £200,000 getting it back to how it used to be. We stripped out the laminated flooring and scraped off the modern wallpaper, replacing it with original parquet flooring from a Sheffield school, and painting the walls. The bathrooms were the biggest source of stress. We once bought a cast-iron bath on eBay only to discover it was still installed. We had to pay someone £250 to drive up with pipe cutters and spanners to dig it out of the bathroom. But it was worth it. Another time we bought a pink bathroom suite then discovered the toilet wasn’t of the period. It took us four months of calling reclamation yards and googling to find the one we wanted. It cost £400 from a reclamation yard in the West Country — the most we’ve paid for something. While life has been made easier by the arrival of eBay, it does have added stresses. We spent New Year’s Eve two years ago desperately driving around trying to find a signal so I could bid on some concertina dividing doors. Eventually we managed it with 15 seconds to spare and got them for £200. They said: 'We’ve become really wrapped up in the history of airfields. We’ve even met local veterans who flew from the airfield. It’s been great to bring this great tower back to life' Our biggest expense was the windows, as control towers have so many. We spent around £45,000 having custom-made replicas, but ours are thankfully double glazed. It’s taken us three years to do up the tower, and while the B&B part is finished, we’re still working on our private living areas. I invited my ten-year-old nephew to stay and

Climbing trees and spending hours playing outside used to be part of every childhood. But today’s youngsters are more likely to be stuck indoors – and it may be harming their eyesight. And it is not just because of the time spent sitting in front of a screen. For a lack of natural daylight is thought to be driving up rates of short-sightedness among the young. Spending an extra 40 minutes a day in the sunshine has been shown to improve children’s sight dramatically. Scientists had though reading or looking at a screen could cause shortsightedness, but now think it could be down to a lack of natural light while taking part in these activities (file image) In China, where four teenagers in five are short-sighted, transparent classrooms are being tested in a bid to increase pupils’ exposure to natural light. Chinese scientists have reported a 23 per cent reduction in myopia – short-sightedness – in children who spend an extra 40 minutes a day in the sunshine. Studies in Australia and by Ohio State University in the US produced similar results. Leading eye surgeon David Allamby warned that an increase in eyesight problems is likely in Britain if children do not regain a love of the great outdoors. Two in five adults in this country are short-sighted, but Mr Allamby said those rates are likely to increase. ‘For 100 years we have researched into the effects of reading and prolonged study on making short-sightedness worse,’ he said. ‘It has become a common belief that spending too much time inside a book, or today on a screen, will make anyone’s eyesight worse. ‘Recent research might have turned this on its head. That’s why today some Chinese schoolchildren are going to school inside a big glass box. There are several studies showing that lack of daylight might be the principal reason why children become more short-sighted, rather than prolonged reading. Study shows that 40 minutes of extra natural light per day, by playing outside or climbing trees, could help to reduce cases by 26 per cent (file image) 'What wasn’t factored into our decades of research was that reading and studying are done indoors, away from daylight. ‘The link between studying and myopia might really be a red herring, where the close vision activity is just a proxy for lack of daylight.’ Donald Mutti, who led the Ohio study, told the journal Nature: ‘We thought it was an odd finding but it just kept coming up as we did the analyses.’ Mr Allamby, who runs Focus Clinics in London, said: ‘The incidence of short sight in the West is rising, now affecting around 40 per cent of the population. ‘If we look at hunter-gatherer societies that live mainly outdoors, such as those studied in Gabon, we find that only 0.5 per cent of adults are afflicted by short sight. ‘Chinese children are participating in research to determine if more exposure to daylight will protect them from their myopic genes. ‘If [it] is shown to help it might mean we all got outdoors more

Summary: Researchers had thought reading or looking at screens caused condition . But now believe it could be because both of these activities occur indoors . Forty minutes extra of natural light per day could cut cases by a quarter . Chinese children now being sent to schools with translucent walls .

A bitter war of words has erupted between a young woman and a butcher in Sydney's eastern suburbs over exactly what happened when Belinda Bartholomew, the girlfriend of Roosters star Aidan Guerra, tried to buy a chicken to cook up for a Game Of Thrones-inspired feast. According to Ms Bartholomew, she was called names and told to go to 'an Aussie butcher' when she tried to change her chicken selection. However the butcher who was working at the shop on Monday has hit back saying Ms Bartholomew is 'lying' and trying to ruin the business. Scroll down for video . Belinda Bartholomew claims she was racially abused at a Bondi butcher on Monday night when she was buying a chicken for her and her Roosters star boyfriend Aidan Guerra to have for dinner . The war of words started, Ms Bartholomew claims, when the man working at Sam the Butcher in Bondi called her a 'f***ing c***' when she asked for a different chicken to the one he had picked up. There were apparently more problems when she went to use her card to pay for the choice bird. 'His eftpos machine wasn't connecting so it was taking a while to process, and I felt really uncomfortable as he was clearly agitated, huffing and throwing things around,' she said. Ms Bartholomew claims the man working at Sam The Butcher in Bondi swore at her and told her to leave, but the man working at the time said his customer was the one being rude . The chicken (pictured in front of Aidan Guerra) was cooked by Ms Bartholomew as part of a Game Of Thrones-inspired feast . 'Another woman entered the shop at this point and she ordered sausages and paid in cash, and when she asked for a receipt he clearly ignored her on purpose so she actually lent over the counter and printed her own.' However, the butcher vehemently denies he called Ms Bartholomew names and said she was the one being rude on a day when he had been having issues with his eftpos machine. 'She's just a troublemaker,' the butcher told Daily Mail Australia. 'I was very slow and she started having a go at me.' Ms Bartholomew (pictured with Mr Guerra) said the butcher told her to 'go to a f***ing Aussie butcher' But the man working vehemently denied any claims he swore at or abused the young woman (pictured) He told Daily Mail Australia that he's trying to fit into Australian life but sometimes finds it hard to cope with attitudes in Bondi. Ms Bartholomew claims the butcher then asked her 'Why don't you just go to a f***ing Aussie butcher'. 'She said I'm half Italian don't speak to me like that,' the butcher said. 'I said if you're going to be rude to me just take the chicken and go.' 'It's a free country there's about eight butcher shops in Bondi,' he added. Ms Bartholomew (left) and the butcher both said she didn't end up paying for the chicken she and Mr Guerra (right) later

Going down on one knee is always a nerve-wracking experience but popping the question in public comes with an extra helping of risk.

A waterfall gushing over the Harbour Bridge, a man surfing waves in front of the Opera House and a crocodile stalking flood water inside a train station are just a few of the fake photos to emerge from the Sydney storm. Social media users were left scratching their heads over some of the manipulated snaps being shared during New South Wales’ worst storm in a decade, including an image of a family-sized trampoline caught on power lines. While there were many genuine dramatic photos to emerge from the devastating storm, such as torn up roads and floating houses, not all of them were quite what they seemed. A waterfall gushing over Sydney's iconic Harbour Bridge while two people watched on was just one Photoshop photo to come out of New South Wales' worst storm in a decade . In Lewisham, a suburb in the Inner West of Sydney, an unlikely visitor was spotted in the flood water at the train station . Eagle-eyed Twitter users pointed out that the large trampoline believed to have blown into the sky in the cyclone-strength gusts in NSW was actually a victim of Hurricane Sandy in Milford, Connecticut, USA. The crocodile at the bottom of the steps in Lewisham station was merely an imaginative prank, as was a reused Photoshop snap of sharks swimming at the bottom of a train station escalator. And the video of a wave rider surfing in front of Sydney’s Opera House was nothing but a hoax – even when it started trending for a second time. The clip was uploaded to Twitter on Tuesday morning by popular Sydney radio duo Fitzy and Wippa, before quickly being reposted by a spell of other sources. A hoax video showing a wave rider surfing in front of the Sydney's Opera House was trending not once but twice . Eagle-eyed Twitter users pointed out that the large trampoline believed to have blown into the sky in the cyclone-strength gusts in NSW was actually a victim of Hurricane Sandy in Milford, Connecticut, USA . The more unbelievable Photoshop jobs included a photo of Noah’s Ark majestically cruising into Sydney Harbour amidst a grey stormy backdrop and a Bondi house with sand pouring through its doors. The Bondi prank came after sand was blown over the famous beachside suburb’s promenade and skate park in real life photos. In other jaw-dropping pictures, the storm water in Sydney’s CBD had submerged the Opera House and knocked over the giant office blocks on the Harbour’s front while a helicopter rescued a person from the flood. And in a nod to the #umbrellageddon hashtag that emerged on social media as Sydneysiders posted photos of their umbrellas destroyed and abandoned in the gutters, one Reddit user shared a picture of soldiers in The Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia, holding up an umbrella instead of the American flag. In one of the more unbelievable Photoshop jobs Noah’s Ark majestically cruises into Sydney Harbour amidst a grey stormy backdrop . A couple of great whites were left stranded at the bottom of

The pair met while Laura was backpacking around Asia, ending up in Australia, and Fabio was working in the country. Laura says she had no idea that Fabio was planning to propose - especially not in the cinema. She said: 'The trailers finished and these pictures of Australia started to play. 'I thought it must be an advert at first but the song was one we were introduced to over in Australia and it is not well known over here - they wouldn't have used it on an advert.' Pretty soon Laura, a deputy manager at a dental practice, clicked that there was something suspicious about the 'advert'.

A new study has shown women still have an increased risk of breast cancer years after stopping taking hormone replacement therapy . Hormone replacement therapy increases a woman's risk of breast cancer up to eight years after she has stopped treatment, scientists have warned. The new findings come from experts who conducted one of the world's largest studies into the effects of HRT - used to ease the effects of menopause. The Women's Health Initiative in the US and the Million Women Study in the UK have both revealed strong evidence that HRT increases a woman's risk of breast, womb and ovarian cancers. The Million Women Study, a collaboration between Cancer Research UK and the NHS, results suggested that women who are using combined HRT have double the risk of breast cancer compared to non-users. And researchers found if women use HRT for more than 10 years, their risks are even higher. Now scientists involved in the Women's Health Initiative study have warned, after further follow-ups, that women who take the combined oestrogen and progesterone HRT therapy continue to have a high risk of breast cancer, up to eight years after they stop treatment. After going through the menopause a woman's ovaries stop producing the hormone oestrogen. It triggers menopausal symptoms including hot flashes and mood swings. HRT treats the body by introducing female sex hormones. There are three types, oestrogen-only HRT, cyclical HRT - where oestrogen is taken continuously but progesterone is given either monthly or every three months - and continuous combined HRT, where both female sex hormones are taken at the same time. In the early 1990s, some smaller studies suggested the therapy would reduce a woman's risk of coronary heart disease and osteoporosis. To examine whether that was the case, the Women's Health Initiative in the US was tasked with investigating. They enrolled more than 26,000 women aged 50 to 79 in the study. Meanwhile, in the UK another key study, the Million Women Study, explored the effects of HRT on women aged 50 or over. Both concluded that women prescribed HRT were at a higher risk of breast cancer, than those not receiving the treatment. WHI researchers had intended to follow the women up until 2005, but in 2002 it became clear women taking HRT were suffering higher rates of heart disease. Those women who took the combined HRT, which boosts the body's levels of both female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone, have an increased risk of breast cancer up to eight years after treatment . They discovered it was the women taking either the combination HRT or those taking oestrogen-only treatment that were going on to suffer heart problems. As a result, all women were asked to stop taking their treatment - HRT or placebo - immediately. After the reported increased risk in breast cancer for women taking combined HRT, use of the therapy dropped dramatically. The new study, led by Dr Rowan Chlebowski, an oncologist at Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute, and one of the initial investigators on WHI, focused on a woman's risk of

Summary: HRT increase risk of disease up to eight years after stopping treatment . Applies to those taking combined HRT - oestrogen and progesterone . Discovery made by scientists from one of largest ever studies into HRT . But women taking oestrogen-only HRT may actually have a reduced risk .


Labour received more than £1 every second from trades unions in the second week of the election campaign, official figures revealed this morning. Union barons gave more than £700,000 to Ed Miliband’s party, swelling Labour’s election war chest for the last 14 days of the campaign. Overall, Labour received £1.1million in donations between April 6 and April 12 – more than twice as much as the Conservative party which received just £492,512. Union barons gave more than £700,000 to Labour in the second week of the election campaign in a boost to Ed Miliband, pictured today speaking to supporters in Leicester . Unison general secretary Dave Prentis (left) and the Unite chief Len McCluskey (right) have boosted Labour's election campaign with donations worth more than £400,000 between them . Most of the Tory cash came from wealthy individuals, who handed over £460,000. Christopher Rokos, who was a co-founder of hedge fund Brevan Howard Asset Management, donated £170,000 - the largest single amount in the period - to the Tories. The Liberal Democrats, meanwhile, were given just £50,000 and Ukip £8,000, according to figures from the Electoral Commission. Most of the Lib Dem cash came from the Green energy company Ecotricity, founded by Dale Vince, provided £30,000 to the Lib Dems. Labour received 14 times more in union donations than the Lib Dems total cash gifts combined. Unison handed over £311,875, USDAW £300,480 and Len McCluskey’s Unite a further £112,000. The donations from unions equate to £105,420.80 a day – or £1.22 a second. The Tories said size of the union donations to Labour exposed the type of Government Mr Miliband would lead as Prime Minister. Overall, Labour received £1.1million in donations between April 6 and April 12 – more than twice as much as the Conservative party which received just £492,512 - in a blow to David Cameron, pictured in Penzance, Cornwall today . Nick Clegg, pictured in Talgarth, Brecon, Wales today, received just £50,000 over seven days - while Ukip took just £8,000, according to figures from the Electoral Commission . MP Bob Neill said: ‘Ed Miliband has taken another hefty wedge of cash from the union barons, which comes with strings attached. ‘More spending, more borrowing, higher taxes and a bigger welfare bill- all demands that he will bow to in exchange for their financial support. ‘Ed Miliband wants to sneak into Downing Street by the back door- funded by Len McCluskey’s union cash and propped up by Nicola Sturgeon’s SNP. They will call the tune and the British people will pay the price.’ By law, political parties must submit weekly donation and loan reports to the commission if they are standing candidates in the UK parliamentary election and they have received any donations or loans over £7,500. Parties must notify the commission if they are not standing candidates in order to be exempt from weekly reporting.

Summary: Union barons gave more than £700,000 to Ed Miliband’s party in a week . Overall, Labour accepted more than £1.1million between April 6 - April 12 . Tories received just £492,000 with most coming from wealthy individuals . The Lib Dems, meanwhile, were given just £50,000 and Ukip £8,000 .

A Florida childrens hospital has installed a 'catcam' to let patients play remotely with abandoned animals. Patients at Wolfson Children's Hospital are able to remotely play with animals at the Jacksonville Humane Society shelter. The system uses high-definition cameras and interactive toys to let the children control three different cat toys at the shelter with the push of a button, and then watch on the TV as the animals react and play with them. Scroll down for video . The toys include a long 'tail' that swings from side to side when the user presses a button. The system uses high-definition cameras and interactive toys. Children can control three different cat toys at the shelter with the push of a button, and then watch on the TV in their room as the animals react and play with them. The Idaho firm behind the system has already installed its system in 10 animals shelters across the US, letting anyone play with cats via the system - and plans to sell a version for pet owners via Kickstarter next month. 'Play through programs like the Play with Cats project has a powerful normalizing effect on a child's hospital stay,' said Wolfson Children's Hospital President Michael Aubin. Patients who are in isolation with a specific treatment or a chronic medical condition like cystic fibrosis or bone marrow transplant will be among the first to benefit. Made possible with a $15,000 grant from the Mattel Children's Foundation, the Play with Cats program connects to 151 hospital rooms throughout Wolfson Children's Hospital via GetWellNetwork. The Wolfson Children's Hospital Auxiliary first started a Pet Therapy Program in 1995. Two years ago, the hospital opened a pet visitation program, allowing children with long-term stays or in end-of-life situations to receive a visit from their own dog. 'This is the latest program to be implemented at Wolfson Children's Hospital to give more of our patients a chance to interact with a kitten or cat, which provides a welcome distraction.' said Pat Kirkland, Family Support Services Manager at Wolfson Children's Hospital. 'About 20 percent of our patients are on isolation at some time during their stay, so we are excited to bring the healing power of an animal friend to the bedside.' 'Our partnership with Wolfson Children's Hospital began with JHS veterinarians providing required vet checks and vaccines that allow patients in the hospital to visit with their own dogs. 'We are proud to expand the partnership using iPet so that all patients may benefit from the healing power of animals,' said Denise Deisler, executive director of the Jacksonville Humane Society. The system was developed by Idaho firm ReachIn. 'The idea came from the ability to move anything over the web,' Scott Harris of the firm told MailOnline. Children can control three different cat toys at the shelter with the push of a button, and then watch on the TV in their room as the animals react and play with them. 'We started working on the technical side of remote control, and then an engineer went home to work on arm

Heavy-duty: The drill that was used by thieves during the brazen £60million Hatton Garden heist . This is the drill that was used by thieves during the £60million Hatton Garden heist over the Easter weekend. The gang used the power tool to cut through the wall of the secured vault where they raided 72 security boxes before escaping with wheelie bins full of precious gems. The photograph of the Hilti DD350 drill was released tonight by Scotland Yard as the officer in charge of the investigation said the crime had been carried out by an 'Ocean's 11 type team'. Police are offering a £20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in the raid. The six men were captured on CCTV as they carried out the bold raid in London's diamond district. They used the drill to cut through a concrete wall into the bank's strongroom, where they ransacked security vaults. But, amazingly, the hole used by the gang was just 45cm wide and 25cm high - meaning they would have had something of a squeeze to muscle their way into the basement. Images of the scene show the mayhem that detectives discovered when they arrived at the crime scene in London's diamond district. Safety deposit boxes were strewn across the floor while power tools - including the heavy duty Hilti DD350 used to access the vaults - were discarded nearby. Scotland Yard also described how there was rubbish covering the Hatton Garden basement, while the wrought-iron cage door had been broken down. An angle grinder, concrete drills and crowbars were found amid the security boxes. Officers said there was no sign of forced entry to the outside of the building, indicating that they had a key or that someone had let them in from the inside. One of the theories behind the heist is that a member of the gang had rented a space within the premises. The Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company is housed in a seven-storey building, which accommodates 60 other businesses, including watch traders and diamond wholesalers. The thieves appeared to have disabled the communal lift on the second floor, before using the lift shaft - which was destroyed when police officers arrived at the scene - to climb down to the vault. Breaking in: The gang used the power tool to cut through the concrete wall of the secured vault, pictured . Caught on CCTV: Scotland Yard previously released several images of the gang as they entered the premises . Reward: Police are offering a £20k reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the criminal . Unaware: The men had their faces covered, but sources have suggested they were not aware of the camera . They then opened shutter doors into the basement, before boring holes into the basement wall. Appearing on the BBC's Crimewatch tonight, Detective Superintendent Craig Turner, head of the Flying Squad, said that the theft had been carried out by an 'almost Ocean's 11 type team'. Mr Turner said: 'This was a particularly ambitious burglary

'It was the only reasonable explanation,' said Dr Umbar Ghaffar of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, who wrote about the patient in an article for the New England Journal of Medicine. The man was admitted to the hospital in May complaining of nausea, weakness, fatigue and body aches. The chemical oxalate was found to have clogged the man's kidneys, to the point that they had become inflamed. With a habit of drinking about 16 8-ounce cups of iced tea every day, the unidentified man was consuming anywhere from 3 to 10 times the amount an average American takes in. The 16-daily-cups habit was striking on its own, since federal studies have found that the average US adult drinks about 10 to 11 cups of liquid every day, including water, coffee and other beverages. Ghaffar said she didn't know whether the man was drinking sweet tea, a concoction made from black tea and a hefty serving of sugar that is popular in the South, though he was diabetic. The New England Journal of Medicine has cited black tea in health issues before, publishing a 2013 case that found a 47-year-old woman had developed a bone disease from drinking a pitcher of tea made from 100 to 150 bags of tea every day. The Arkansas man's case, however, does not suggest health risks for most people, according to Dr Randy Luciano, a Yale School of Medicine kidney specialist. 'I wouldn't tell people to stop drinking tea,' said Luciano, who has treated patients with oxalate-related kidney damage. That man drank 'a lot of tea.'

Summary: Doctors at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences found a 56-year-old man's kidney problems stemmed from drinking too much iced tea . Black tea contains oxalate, a chemical known to produce kidney stones and sometimes lead to kidney failure . The unidentified man will likely spend the rest of his life in dialysis .


Just like humans learning to talk, puppies can sometimes take a while to learn to bark. At least, that seemed to be the case for one young Shibu Inu, who caused hilarity with a somewhat chatty display at an American Kennel Club centre. The pup was filmed squeaking and squawking after meeting a young husky dog and attempting to bark at its new companion. Captured on video, the puppies are held in the air by their respective handlers and one of the dogs makes a high-pitched whining sound. Opening its mouth, the Shibu Inu then begins vocalising with a yappy bark before the husky – leaning back in its handler’s arm – whines. People standing by laugh and put their hands to their mouths as a staff member turns to address and pacify the dog. The puppy Shibu Inu and husky feature opposite one another while conversing at an American Kennel Club centre . Falling quiet for a second, the Shibu Inu pipes up once more – louder than before – causing the husky to respond. As the dogs continue to converse, the video maker asks with a giggle: ‘What is that noise?’ But it is barely audible over the sounds of the intense barking, whining and yapping. Later in the video the excited Shibu Inu begins running in its owner's arms in its attempts to get closer to the husky. Passers-by laugh and film the two dogs as they begin yapping, whining and barking at one another . And people in the video can be seen laughing while mimicking the dog’s erratic and entirely humorous actions. The video concludes with the husky losing interest slightly and chewing on its handler’s sleeve. Before the same handler speaks to the Shibu Inu and gives it a rub, causing it to momentarily settle down. A staff member from the American Kennel Club centre attempts to pacify the puppy by giving it a rub . Canine vocalisation usually begins when a puppy is around two-to-three-weeks-old and generally consists of grunts and whines. At seven-to-eight-weeks-old, the vocalisation will develop into stronger sounding barks, although some dogs wait as long as 16 weeks before even making an attempt.

British scientists are developing a treatment which could significantly boost patients’ ability to fight off cancer, they revealed last night. A team led by Imperial College London has already applied to patent the therapy, which they say could be ready for human trials within three years. The scientists discovered a protein which helps boost the body’s immune system ten-fold, an astonishing effect which could help patients fight off cancers and viruses. The protein promotes the production of immune cells called cytotoxic T-cells, which have the ability to detect cancerous cells, hunt them down, and destroy them . The protein promotes the production of immune cells called cytotoxic T-cells, which have the ability to detect cancerous cells, hunt them down, and destroy them. In a chance discovery in mice, it was found that a previously unknown protein - which they named the lymphocyte expansion molecule or LEM - dramatically boosted the body’s number of T-cells. They are now developing a gene therapy that would boost the production of LEM proteins, in turn increasing the number of T-cells available to attack cancer cells. The therapy, revealed in the international journal Science last night, would use the existing T-cells taken from individual patients. The patient’s cells would be removed, modified with the insertion of LEM-producing genes, and then infused back into the patients via a drip, probably on four occasions over two months. It might also be used to treat other viruses, they said. The development, which also involved researchers from Queen Mary University of London, ETH Zurich in Switzerland and Harvard Medical School in the US, has already been six years in the making. Cytotoxic T-cells are an important component of the immune system, but when faced with serious infections or advanced cancer, they are usually unable to mobilise in large enough quantities to fight the disease. In a chance discovery in mice, it was found that a previously unknown protein - which they named the lymphocyte expansion molecule or LEM - dramatically boosted the body’s number of T-cells . By screening mice with genetic mutations, the Imperial team discovered a strain of mice that produced ten times as many cytotoxic T-cells when infected with a virus, compared with normal mice. The discovery was unexpected because the new protein had no known function and resembles no other protein known to science. But the mice suppressed infections more effectively and were far more resistant to cancer. They also produced more of a second type of T-cells, memory cells, enabling them to recognise infections they have encountered previously and launch a rapid response. In further experiments the scientists went on to show that the LEM molecule had a similar impact on the human immune system. A team led by Imperial College London (pictured) has already applied to patent the therapy, which they say could be ready for human trials within three years . Study leader Professor Philip Ashton-Rickardt of Imperial College, said: ‘Cancer cells have ways to suppress T-cell activity, helping them to escape the immune system. ‘Genetically engineering T cells to augment their ability to

Summary: Treatment developed by British team could boost ability to fight cancer . Imperial College London say human trials of therapy could begin in 3 years . Protein discovered could boost immune system ten times to fight cancer . The chance discovery made when unknown molecule was found in mice .


Cleared: Andrew Anderson, 43, pictured outside Manchester Magistrates' Court, was claimed to have forced a social worker to the floor, injuring her wrist . A father-of-three has been cleared of assaulting a social worker following a Black Friday bundle at Tesco over a 32in TV - after a judge said the chaotic scenes made it hard to blame anyone. Andrew Anderson, 43, was accused of forcing social worker Julie McGoldrick to the floor, injuring her wrist, as they battled over the unit which had been reduced from £199 to £99 as part of the frenzied midnight sales event. The self-employed gardener ‘strategised’ his shopping and grabbed a TV near the bottom of a pallet in Manchester, only for Mrs McGoldrick, 53, to grab the same one at the same time - and suffer injuries that saw her end up in hospital. However, a judge at Manchester Magistrates’ Court has now cleared him of any wrongdoing, saying it was not certain that Mr Anderson 'went on not caring whether she was hurt or not'. The court was told how Mrs McGoldrick slipped her hand behind the TV box’s security cable in an effort to hang on because she could not hold it normally due to her injured thumbs. But seconds later she ended up on the floor and in serious pain as Tesco workers grabbed Mr Anderson and pulled him while he was holding the TV - taking the trapped woman with them. CCTV footage was shown at court where a judge called the incident ‘extraordinary’ and said ‘excitement and tension’ had built up before the reduced Blaupunkt TVs were unveiled. The video showed dozens of shoppers piling into Tesco to get their hands on discounted goods as part of the annual US tradition of Black Friday, which has received a controversial reception since being brought to Britain in 2008. Arriving at the store just ten minutes before the 12am opening time on November 28 last year, Mr Anderson, of Middleton, Manchester, managed to get to the front of the queuing throng - beating some shoppers who had waited for up to four hours. Black plastic sheets covering a pallet of cheap TVs were still in place at 12.15am at the store in Burnage, Manchester, which led to shoppers becoming ‘frustrated’ and ‘upset’, the court heard.

Fracas: Mr Anderson (wearing the grey hat, circled) 'strategised' his shopping and grabbed a TV near the bottom of a pallet, only for Julie McGoldrick (in the light blue jacket) to grab the same one at the same time . When the sheets were eventually lifted, cameras captured the ‘free-for-all’, with customers pushing and shoving to get the best chance of grabbing their discounted sets. Mrs McGoldrick had attended the Tesco with her 30-year-old daughter Marie to try to grab a bargain TV for her, while Mr Anderson had arrived with his mother, girlfriend and young child. After the incident, police were called and arrested Mr Anderson, while Mrs McGoldrick was taken to hospital where it was feared she had broken her

Summary: Andrew Anderson was accused of forcing Julie McGoldrick to the floor . Fought over TV reduced from £199 to £99 at Tesco store in Manchester . Frenzied scenes saw him grab TV before Tesco workers pulled him away . 43-year-old had jumped queue and admitted he 'knew what I was in for'


Ventura County prosecutors dropped their case against a woman accused of killing her Olympic medalist husband then turned around and filed new charges on Friday. The move is an apparent attempt to delay the trial of 57-year-old Jane Laut in the 2009 killing of Dave Laut, the Ventura County Star reports. It came after a judge denied for the third time a request to delay trial. Jane Laut had been free on bail but was rearrested in the court hallway after the hearing. Double jeopardy: Jane Laut was arrested and charged in 2009 (left) for the murder of her husband David Laut. The charges were dropped and then refiled immediately on Friday in a Ventura County courtroom . Murder? The couple were high school sweethearts married 29 years. Prosecutors say laut shot dead her husband outside their California home the night of August 28, 2009 . Self-defense? Laut claims she wrestled a gun from her abusive husband after he became intoxicated and said he was going to kill her after he killed their 10-year-old son and their dogs . Her attorney Ron Bamieh called the prosecution's move 'unprofessional' and 'pretty much unprecedented' in a murder case. 'Complete chicken s***. It's just complete chicken s*** practice of law,' Bamieh said outside the courtroom. Her husband, who won a bronze medal in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, was shot several times in the head on the night of August 28, 2009 in their yard in Oxnard, a coastal city 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles. He was declared dead at the scene. Jane Laut's attorney called it a 'self-defense case,' apparently contradicting police reports of her statements at the time of the killing. They were high school sweethearts and married for 29 years. Jane Laut had told investigators immediately after the shooting that he went to the backyard to check out suspicious sounds, and she heard shots fired, police said. Police initially said Laut may have been killed by prowlers, but a few days later said the killing was not random. Bamieh, who was hired by Jane Laut shortly after the killing, told the Ventura County Star after the arrest that she wrestled the gun from an abusive husband after he became intoxicated and said he was going to kill her after he killed their 10-year-old son and their dogs. 'She was left with no choice but to defend herself and her child with that gun,' Bamieh told the newspaper. 'It's not a question of who the shooter was, it's a question of the intent of the shooter.' Laut's trial had already been postponed multiple times. When the judge denied a motion from the prosecution that the trial be continued until June, prosecutors chose to drop the charges and refile. Deputy District Attorney Rameen Minoui said his witnesses would not be available for trial in the current window, People reported, and he accused the defense of withholding discovery. David Laut, who won a bronze medal in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, was shot several times in the head on the night of

Summary: Jane Laut, 57, stands accused of shooting dead her bronze medalist shot-putter husband Dave Laut in August 2009 . Laut claims self-defense while prosecutors say she's a murderer -- however, they were unable to get a case together by the time of the trial . When a California judge threw out the prosecution's request again delay the several times postponed trial, they dropped the charges and refiled . The defense calls the maneuver an unprofessional delay tactic almost unheard of in a murder case .


Ian Gibson, a former soldier who had his kneecap blown off in combat and is suing his employer after a colleague nicknamed him Hoppy . A former soldier who had his kneecap blown off in combat more than 30 years ago is suing his employer after he was nicknamed 'Hoppy' by a colleague. Today, ex-Army tank driver Ian Gibson from Hillingdon in Middlesex told an employment tribunal that he was subjected to a tirade of 'horrible harassment' while working at H and G Contracting Services Ltd at Heathrow Airport. The 60-year-old joined the company as plane refueller in December 2007, three decades after he was medically discharged from the British Army's Parachute Regiment. His job involved kneeling down, removing a manhole cover and connecting the fuel pipe to refuel planes. In 2010 he underwent a knee replacement and had further surgery on his other knee two years later. Mr Gibson claims that bosses failed to make his job easier after the pain in his knee became too excruciating and was overlooked for an office-based job, which was instead offered to a man he said bullied him about being disabled. He told the tribunal in Reading: 'I suffered bullying and harassment and discrimination as a result of my disability, in particular from Mike Baldwin who bullied me because of my disability and the way I walk. 'On my return to work there was no medical or risk assessment. I carried on the work without adjustments which caused further pain.' Mr Gibson added that he was offered a temporary admin role in the workshop at the firm in November 2013. However, when he lodged a grievance complaint about the bullying, he was told his admin job would not be made permanent. He also claimed he was not informed about a vacancy for a workshop/site service manager role when he was off work. He added: ' I feel the reason was because I lodged a grievance and was a hassle to the company. 'I think I was deliberately not informed of the position. Mike Baldwin told me he had already been offered the job before I was given an interview. 'He called me "Hoppy" because of my limp. The way I walk has been a real difficulty for me. He said to me "they could get a tart in for £16,000 to do your job, disabled or not so watch yourself". 'In April 2014, he called me 'Hoppy' and said "I don't know why you joined the Army, jumping out of planes for what? This f****d up country, you must be f*****g stupid, look at you, it has left you with f***** up legs".' Mr Gibson claimed he was subjected to the bullying and harassment while working at Heathrow Airport, pictured, for H and G Contracting Services Ltd (file picture) Naomi Cunningham, representing H and G Contracting Services Ltd, challenged Mr Gibson asking him if the nickname was just 'harmless'. But he added: 'To you it might be, to me it isn't I got a limp serving this country if you want to go down

Summary: Ian Gibson claims he was bullied at H and G Contracting Services Ltd . Says he was called 'Hoppy' by a colleague due to a limp from an injury . Adds he was overlooked for an office job when pain became too much . Mr Gibson sustained the knee injury in combat in the Parachute Regiment .

A schoolgirl killed herself by walking in front of a train just weeks after her mother was found murdered, it emerged last night. Friends of 16-year-old Rachelle Owen said the teenager ‘just wanted to be with her mum’ Kay Diamond, who was discovered dead in February. Miss Owen died after being struck by a train close to Hoylake Station, Wirral, on Friday night. Police said the death was not being treated as suspicious. Schoolgirl Rachelle Owen, 16, has died after being struck by a train - just two months after her mother Kay Diamond, 44, was allegedly murdered . In a statement, her family said they were suffering a double tragedy following the murder of 44-year-old Miss Diamond whose body was found in a flat in Toxteth, Liverpool, on February 28. A post-mortem examination revealed that she had suffered a severe head injury. A 52-year-old man has been charged with her murder and is awaiting trial. In their statement the family of Miss Owen said: ‘Rachelle was a beautiful, vibrant, loved daughter, granddaughter, sister and niece, who attended Hilbre High School Humanities College. She will be greatly missed forever by all of her family and friends. ‘This is a double tragedy to our family following the recent death and funeral of her mum, Kay Diamond.’ Last night Hilary Diamond, the mother of Miss Diamond, was too upset to comment on the loss of her granddaughter. A vigil was held in Miss Owen’s memory yesterday, with friends lighting a candle at 8pm. Floral bouquets and messages have also been laid close to the station where she died at around 9.40pm on Friday. Tributes have been paid to the schoolgirl after she died at a crossing near Hoylake station on Friday . A tribute site on Facebook described how Miss Owen, of West Kirby, Wirral, has left behind ‘many broken hearts’.

Usain Bolt has revealed he wants to smash his own 200-metre world record by running the distance in under 19 seconds and insists he is almost impossible to beat when he is fully fit. The six-time Olympic gold medallist is currently in Rio de Janeiro, acclimatising ahead of next year's Olympic Games in the Brazilian capital, and will compete in the 'Mano a Mano' 100-metre challenge on Sunday. The Jamaican sprinter ran the 200 metres in 19.19 sec at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin and Bolt is confident he could shave two tenths off that time despite clocking a disappointing 20.20 sec at the UTECH Classic in his home country last Saturday. Usain Bolt poses with sprinter Veronica Campbell-Brown and Paralimpic sprinter Alan Fonteles on Friday ahead of competing in the 'Mano a Mano' 100-metre event in Rio de Janeiro . Bolt says he want to beat his own 200-metre world record by running under 19 seconds . 'I definitely want to break the 200-metre record that is one of my biggest goals, it is actually to run under 19 seconds,' said Bolt. 'I think this season it will be hard to do, but I want to stay injury free this season so I can go into Olympic season in the best shape so it will be much easier to attempt the record. 'All I'm focusing on right now is just taking my time and getting through the season, getting my runs in, getting better over the season, getting to the World Championships (in Beijing later this year) and doing my best.' Bolt spent much of last-season nursing injuries while American rival Justin Gatlin dominated the sprint circuit setting times of 9.77 sec and 19.68 in the 100 and 200 metres respectively. Bolt runs with children during visit to sports complex at Mangueira shantytown in Rio on Thursday . Bolt insists that when he is fully fit he is almost impossible to beat . But Bolt insists he has nothing to worry about when he is fully fit, insisting it is almost impossible to beat him. 'When it comes to rivals, I always say there are seven people beside me in the lane that count,' Bolt added. 'When I am in great shape, I tell you guys I worry about nobody, because I know when I am on my best it is definitely almost impossible to beat me, so all I've got to do is get at my best and I'll be OK.'

Summary: Usain Bolt wants to beat own 200-metre record by running sub 19 seconds . Bolt had injuries last season as Justin Gatlin dominated sprint scene . But Jamaican insists when he is fit he is almost impossible to beat .


After decades of snapping at the heels of rival Marks & Spencer, Next has overtaken the company on profits. And now the High Street giant appears to have come up with a foolproof plan for staying in the lead when it comes to womenswear. Britain's biggest fashion retailer has an impressive line in designer copies selling for a fraction of the price of the big labels. So if you love the Mulberry Bayswater tote, but wince at the eye-watering price tag, you can pick up a looky-likey from Next. Or if you fancy yourself in a Victoria Beckham-style armband shift dress, but wouldn't remortgage your home to pay for it, the Next version could be just the ticket. Scroll down for video . VICTORIA BECKHAM had a hit with this armband shift dress (victoria beckham.com). Next's compact cut-out shoulder dress is a fraction of the price . And it's not just designer clothes that the company is expert at emulating. It also does its own versions of high-end homeware that won't break the bank. Karen Kay, fashion and retail commentator, says one of Next's greatest strengths is identifying catwalk trends that will appeal to its target market: mothers aged 30 and over and women starting out in their careers. 'A perfect example is the Next tan washed saddle bag, which is very like the Chloe satchel,' says Karen. 'It's a classic shape that's also fashionable, a good combination for Next customers looking for grown up-style. 'What they don't do, unlike shops appealing to younger women, such as Zara and Topshop, is copy one-season wonders. 'Next customers are not looking for high fashion, but clothes to wear to an interview or at the office, and they have a much better line in these, including their designer copies, than Marks & Spencer.' THE Lot78 jacket (net-a-porter.com) is lamb's leather, while Next's cropped PU biker is made from viscose, polyester and cotton, hence the £700 price difference . A MULBERRY Bayswater tote (selfridges.com) is made from top quality leather, but at a saving of £900, Next's polyurethane bag is a dead ringer . It takes three to four months for designs on the catwalk to appear, in some shape or form, in Next. Zara and Topshop - whose younger customers are eager to get their hands on high fashion - have an even quicker turnaround of three to four weeks. Designer copycats have become a huge retail strategy in recent years, because while what appeared on the catwalk used to be kept under wraps until it arrived in the shops, now the runway attracts wide coverage, including online, and people expect to see versions on the High Street. And these great lines in designer lookalikes go some way towards explaining how Next reported a rise in annual profits of 12 per cent, to £695 million, last year and a further 12.5 per cent over the past 12 months, with profits totalling £782 million. The company is worth £11 billion, making it second only to Tesco in the retail sector. That's impressive in a market that

Summary: Next has overtaken Marks & Spencer on profits . Retailer has a vast line in designer copies selling for a fraction of the price . Include looky-likey Mulberry Bayswater tote and Victoria Beckham dress .
