When Jasmine Midgley was born with a birthmark, her parents were assured it was nothing to worry about. But within weeks it had nearly killed her, after doctors failed to realise it was cutting off her air supply. At just 10 weeks old, she was rushed back to hospital because the seemingly harmless mark had started growing into her throat, almost closing over her airways and choking her. Jasmine Midgley nearly died after a birthmark began blocking her airways. Her parents Tanja and Steven were warned she may not survive . In the days after her birth, the seemingly harmless mark had started growing into her throat, almost closing over her airways and choking her. Doctors diagnosed a rare condition called a subglottic hemangioma - a benign tumour made up of blood vessels that can be on the skin or go deeper . Despite several trips to the GP and A&E, her parents Tanja and Steven, of Stockton-on-Tees, had been repeatedly told their daughter had bronchiolitis. This is a common infection of the upper airways that most often affects babies and young children. But when antibiotics failed to help Jasmine's severe cold-like symptoms, she was kept in the University Hospital of North Tees overnight. Her life-threatening problem was only detected the next day when a new doctor came onto the ward and noticed the birthmark - which by now had spread all over her neck - was cutting off her air supply. Doctors explained the birthmark had sparked the problems because of a rare condition called a subglottic hemangioma. Haemangiomas are benign tumors made up of blood vessels that can be on the skin or go deeper. They usually appear days to weeks after birth and the type that affected Jasmine occur in the breathing passage, just below the vocal cords. If they grow and are left untreated, they can cause potentially fatal breathing difficulties. Mrs Midgeley, 39, a full-time mother, said: 'I had my suspicions the birth mark might have been responsible for Jasmine's illness. 'We'd been told that it was nothing to worry about, even though it had spread all over her neck by this stage. Despite several trips to the GP and A&E, her parents Tanja and Steven, of Stockton-on-Tees, had been repeatedly told their daughter had bronchiolitis - a common infection of the airways . Jasmine was treated successfully with medication which shrunk the blood vessels over two weeks. Her mother claims doctors were surprised she survived . 'The new doctor took one look at her and knew right away that her sickness was connected to it.' Jasmine's birthmark didn't become visible until she was about a week old. Her mother added: 'It continued to grow and Steven mentioned that it was getting a lot bigger. 'But all my kids had birthmarks and I told him they just disappear on their own. She added: 'It wasn't until we were in hospital and the nurse mentioned it that we put two and two together.' After being seen by a doctor, Jasmine was transferred to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in

Summary: Jasmine Midgley, now four months, was born with a 'harmless' birthmark . Had problems breathing but doctors said she simply had an infection . Weeks later discovered the 'mark' had grown into her throat, choking her . Benign tumour of blood vessels blocking her airways has now been treated .


Victim: Dr Martin Luther King . The FBI repeatedly deceived Congress by destroying vital files relating to the assassination of Martin Luther King, a new book claims. Leading King historian Stuart Wexler said that the bureau chose to cover up the potential role of a high level informant in the killing rather than tell the truth. Wexler said that it could have been one of the greatest scandals in the history of the FBI - but now we may never know what happened. By destroying the files the FBI disobeyed a direct order not to do so from a Congressional Committee which had been set up to investigate the killing of King and former President John F Kennedy. Wexler told Daily Mail Online that the bureau's actions were 'disturbing' and that his research had left him suspecting that agents had mounted a deliberate operation to bury the truth forever. King was shot dead by James Earl Ray on 4 April 1968 at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee in a killing which galvanized the civil rights movement. Power: Dr King's leadership of the civil rights movement was demonstrated in the I Have A Dream speech in 1963. His death on 4 April 1968 shocked a nation already scarred by the deaths of President John F Kennedy - and the civil leader's murder was followed by that of Robert Kennedy . Guard: The balcony at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, where Dr King was shot. Caught: James Earl Ray, the assassin of Dr. Martin Luther King Jnr. being taken to his cell by Sheriff William Morris, in Memphis Tennessee, July 19, 1968. He had been on the run since the death . Key figures: James Earl Ray (left) in the wanted picture issued by the FBI. Joseph Milteer (right) was a racist known for a covertly recorded interview in 1963 in which he spoke of the Kennedy and King assassinations before they happened . Interest in King's life has been renewed since the release of the Oscar-winning film 'Selma', about the historic march from the Alabama town, which was 50 years ago this year. But Wexler said that there are still many unanswered questions about his death which he addresses in a new e-book called 'Killing King'. The FBI plot began when the House Committee on Assassinations was set up in 1976 - it would finish its inquiries into the killing of King and Kennedy in 1978. Wexler said that the FBI appears to have been spooked after an investigative reporter called Dan Christensen published a number of articles about the Miami connection to both assassinations, articles which the committee were interested in. Wexler said that, according to his research, in 1977 the MURKIN (murder of King) files were destroyed from the FBI field offices in Miami and Mobile, Alabama. Crucially, both had information on Tommy Tarrants, a former high ranking Klan member from Mississippi. Wexler said that something in that file made the FBI upgrade Tarrants from a little-known racist activist to major player in the King assassination to the point

Summary: FBI accused in new book - by leading King historian Stuart Wexler - of misleading Congress by destroying files on civil rights leader's murder . He tells Daily Mail Online agency disobeyed direct order to preserve all materials and believes it was to protect informer from being identified . Tommy Tarrants, high-ranking KKK member went from being little-known racist to having his picture shown to witnesses . Files from two field offices which had information on Tarrants were destroyed in 1977 after Congress launched Assassinations Committee . Wexler believes it is because they could have exposed Laude Matthews, head of Mississippi KKK, as an FBI asset under deep cover .


Four Royal Navy sailors charged with the gang rape of a young woman at an alcohol-fuelled party at a Canadian barracks must stay in Nova Scotia until they have been tried. The four men appeared in turn in a courtroom in Dartmouth, near Halifax, where they were given identical but unusual bail conditions that could see them having to live on a Canadian naval base for the next few years. Bail was set at over £2,000 for each of them but they also agreed to surrender their passports and live at the nearby Stadacona naval base in Halifax. Accused: Joshua Finbow, 23, a submarine engineer from Stockbridge, Hampshire, arrives at court today . Two of the accused, Simon Radford, 31, of Gosport, Hampshire and Craig Stoner, 24, from Stonehouse, Gloucestershire hid their faces as they were led to a provincial court in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia . Darren Smalley, 35, of Gosport, Hampshire, and his co-accused were ordered to surrender their passports as part of their bail conditions . In a deal agreed with the British government, they will also continue to work for the Royal Navy and draw their current pay. It was not clear last night how they will keep themselves occupied thousands of miles from their shipmates and a representative from the British High Commission who was in court refused to elaborate. The four – Joshua Finbow, 23, a submarine engineer, Craig Stoner, 24, Simon Radford, 31, and Darren Smalley, 35 – had been playing for the Royal Navy ice hockey team in a tournament at the Shearwater naval base just east of Halifax. The alleged sexual assault, in which police sources say all four men had sexual intercourse with their victim, took place on April 10 after the sailors had returned to the barracks from a hockey game. Sources say their victim, who is aged in her early 20s and lives in Halifax, had accompanied a friend who had been invited to attend the party by local Canadian servicemen. Yesterday, all four men – three of them wearing black Royal Navy ice hockey team hoodies – looked relieved to be getting out of custody as they respectfully answered Judge John MacDougall’s questions. Charged: Royal Navy sailors Joshua Finbow, 23, (left) and Simon Radford, 31, (right) appeared in court . Held: Craig Stoner, 24, (left) and Darren Smalley, 35, (right) are being held by military police in Canada . They all said they understood their bail conditions and Crown prosecutor Eric Taylor said outside court that the accused had not asked to be returned to the UK. They were ordered to return to court on May 27 and given the names of seven people – the victim and six witnesses – who they were forbidden to contact. They must not leave the province of Nova Scotia and cannot apply for new passports. They must remain employed by the navy and must not resign without the court’s permission. The four, no longer trying to hide their faces, later filed out of the court building and were driven away together in a

Summary: Four Royal Navy sailors are bailed following hearing Nova Scotia, Canada . Three sailors are from Hampshire, one is from Gloucestershire . They are charged with raping a 21-year-old woman at military base party . Men were in Canada playing a hockey tournament with Canadian forces .


A couple who married in their teens and suffer from cystic fibrosis are in a race against time as the young wife waits for a life-saving lung transplant. Katie Prager, 24, was diagnosed with an infection in her lungs in September 2009 and is desperately in need of a transplant as doctors predicted she would not live a year without new lungs. As her health continues to decline, her husband Dalton, 23, who has already received new lungs, is pleading for help. Her insurance company, Kentucky Medicaid, will not pay for the out-of-state treatment she needs at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, he says. Dalton pleaded: 'They are turning my wife into a number, a statistic, a dollar sign. I cannot lose her. This can’t be the end of our love story. 'We are both ready to continue fighting but at this point we are running out of options and need your help. Please help me save my wife Katie.' Scroll down for video . Katie and Dalton Prager (above), who suffer from cystic fibrosis, followed their hearts and married as teens in 2011 . Katie, left, was diagnosed with an infection in her lungs called Burkholderia Cepacia, and is desperately in need of a transplant as doctors predicted she would not live a year without new lungs . Dalton has already received new lungs, but Katie is waiting as Kentucky Medicaid will not pay for the out-of-state-treatment she needs at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center . For the couple who put everything on the line when they first met in person in 2009, her husband can not imagine losing the love of his life who he married four years ago. In December 2014, Katie was discharged from the Pittsburgh hospital after a long stay and returned to Kentucky, but began having trouble breathing three days later. The hospital would not admit her because Medicare would not pay because she had used her lifetime maximum, the couple says. She will not be covered for the expensive out-of-state medical procedure again until she spends 60 consecutive days out of the hospital. She was admitted into University of Kentucky Hospital, but it however, does not do transplants on patients with the kind of infection that Katie has. 'Sixty days out of the hospital is not an option for her anymore. Medicaid is also not an option as it will not cover her transplant due to UPMC being 'out of network',' Dalton wrote on the couple's YouCaring page. 'After explaining to Medicaid and Pittsburgh that there are only two places in the country, who would operate, due to (the bacteria) Cepacia, (UPMC and Duke Medical Center) still refused to work together to help her. 'She is struggling to attempt to negotiate her healthcare options from her hospital bed at the University of Kentucky.' Dalton said: 'They are turning my wife into a number, a statistic, a dollar sign. I cannot lose her. This can’t be the end of our love story' Only three months away from their four-year anniversary, the couple has not

Daniel Levy reportedly told the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust that after the problems reinvesting the money received for Gareth Bale, future transfer policy would entail the purchase of young players, priced between £10-15million with good potential for resale. This may be financially sensible, but it is hardly reassuring. Elite clubs, those who challenge for the biggest trophies, do not buy with one eye on selling and this strategy would set Tottenham back a decade to a time when they helped solve problems at Manchester United by trading top performers such as Michael Carrick and Dimitar Berbatov. Indeed, the only time Tottenham demonstrated real Champions League potential was when Levy resisted the likes of Chelsea over Luka Modric. Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is planning a new transfer policy for the club that centres on resale value . Spurs sold forward Gareth Bale (left) to Real Madrid in 2013 for a world-record £85 million transfer fee . Spurs' best chance of securing regular Champions League football came when Luka Modric played for them . Spurs allowed star performers Dimitar Berbatov (left) and Michael Carrick (right) to join Manchester United . The moment they started to sell again, Tottenham fell away. Not even having the Premier League's top goalscorer in Harry Kane has placed them among the elite again — and it is hard to see how that will change if this is the plan. Nobody overtakes Manchester United by offering a helping hand — no matter how favourable the price. Even the exploits of Premier League top goalscorer Harry Kane hasn't been enough to get Spurs top-four .

Summary: Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy has told supporters that future transfer policy will include developing young players with resale value . Having failed to successfully reinvest the money received for Gareth Bale, Levy will now turn to more modestly priced players . Although financially sensible, Levy's new plans could risk Spurs falling behind the other top clubs in pursuit of the Champions League . CLICK HERE for all the latest Tottenham Hotspur news .


One of Argentina's top referees is under investigation and faces a possible ban after overturning a red card and penalty decision based on a television replay. Referee German Delfino awarded a penalty to Velez Sarsfield after Daniel Valencia was adjudged to have handled the ball in the area and showed the Arsenal man his second booking of the game.

Video technology is not allowed in Argentine football and, after a melee ensued on the pitch involving players and coaching staff, Velez manager Miguel Angel Russo said: 'Delfino has every right to change his decision. But by his own decision, not off the television. 'The Fifa rules are very clear, they don't accept technology... If cameras are to exist then let them be used for everyone.' Velez captain Fabian Cubero gave an on-pitch interview during the game and said: 'You can't change it. What are the rules?'

I changed the decision because of my colleague, we are a team. 'If it was handball by Pavone then I'm happy that there was justice... but it was sloppy and I'm responsible.' After his initial reprieve, Arsenal's Valencia picked up another booking and was dismissed deep into injury time as Velez went on to claim a 2-1 victory.

German aviation regulators say they were never made aware of Andreas Lubitz's mental health issues . Killer pilot Andreas Lubitz searched the internet for information on suicide and depression using the name 'Skydevil', it has emerged. The chilling username was discovered after analysis of a tablet computer found at his home, according to German newspaper Bild. Investigators also found search terms for disorders such as 'bipolar' and 'manic depressive'. In a separate development, it has emerged that European regulators warned Germany's aviation authority of inadequacies with its health check-ups in a regular review of air safety enforcement, the European Commission said. Its statement did not say when the review was carried out. But the Wall Street Journal said the Commission told Berlin in November 'to remedy the long-standing problems' - months before the Germanwings crash that killed all 150 people aboard. Meanwhile, the aviation authority, the Luftfahrtbundesamt (LBA), also said it did not know about Lubitz's medical background prior to the crash. Parent company Lufthansa said Lubitz told officials at an airline training school he had gone through a period of severe depression in the past, raising questions over whether medical checks of crew members by the safety regulators and airlines are rigorous enough. EU officials found that the LBA had a lack of staff, which could have limited its ability to carry out checks on planes and crew, such as medical checks, the Journal reported, citing two people familiar with the matter. It said it was unclear whether the deficiencies identified at LBA were factors in the crash, however. Vetting of airline crew is in the spotlight after the budget airline flight was crashed deliberately into by Lubitz. 'On the basis of EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) recommendations, the Commission has addressed the issues to Germany to require compliance. 'Germany's replies are currently being assessed,' the Commission spokesman said in the statement, emailed out on Saturday. 'All EU member states have findings and this is a normal and regular occurrence. It is part of a continuous system of oversight: findings are followed by corrective action, similar to an audit process,' the Commission spokesman said, without specifying EASA's findings in Germany. The spokesman was not immediately available for further comment. The Germanwings Airbus A320 (above) crashed into a mountain at 430mph, killing all 150 people on board . A spokeswoman for the LBA said EASA's audits of national aviation authorities such as the LBA took place several times a year. She said the LBA had answered a single-figure number of criticisms levelled at it during the audits and those responses were now being assessed by EASA. Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Lufthansa did not inform aviation regulators that Lubitz had struggled with depression. Sources at the Federal Aviation Office (LBA) said they were never made aware of the 27-year-old's mental health issues and only learned about them following the disaster. Lubitz perished in the crash alongside all those on board after locking his co-pilot out of the cockpit and deliberately accelerating into the French mountainside, prosecutors claim. His lengthy battle with

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid couldn't be separated in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final showdown on Tuesday. The two giants from the Spanish capital played out a goalless draw, meaning all is left to play for in the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu. Here, Sportsmail rates the players in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final at the Vicente Calderon. ATLETICO MADRID . Jan Oblak 9 - Blocked everything in the first half as a wind-assisted Real Madrid looked like putting the tie beyond doubt in the first 45 minutes. Had less to do in the second half but did it well. A man of the match display from the 22-year-old. Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak made a big save to deny Gareth Bale in the early minutes . Juanfran 7 - He was rattled, along with the rest of the team, in the first half but he played his part in keeping Madrid at bay. Miranda 7 - Will not have put any watching suitors off with another solid display alongside Godin - that is the third time this season Real have failed to score against Atletico Madrid at the Calderon and Miranda is a major reason for that. Diego Godin 7 - A rare slip early on let Bale in but the Welshman failed to punish the Uruguayan and he recovered well to marshall the team to another clean sheet against the European champions. At times in the first half he must have been seeing flashbacks of extra time in Lisbon but came through without conceding. Atletico Madrid centre-back Diego Godin rises higher than Sergio Ramos to attempt a header on goal . Guilherme Siqueira 6 - No mystery why Diego Simeone wants Felipe Luis back at the club next season. Siquiera is a threat going forward but a liability defensively and will be replaced in the summer. Arda Turan 7 - Always bright going forward and tested Casillas in the second period with a shot the Spain keeper did well to save. Will be vital in nicking a goal at the Bernabeu next week. Mario Suarez 6 - Forced a fine second-half save from Casillas but was just as blown away by Real in the first 45 minutes. Will still be a steal for someone at the end of the season if, as expected, he moves on. Gabi 6 - Simeone's soldier worked hard in defence in the first period but maybe lacked invention in the second period as Atletico took the initiative. Cristiano Ronaldo is crowded out by Atletico Madrid's Mario Suarez (left) and Gabi . Koke 6 - Currently struggling to live up to those 'new Xavi' tags. Still a tremendous prospect and gave as good as he got against Real's trio of Modric, James and Kroos. Antoine Griezmann 7 - You can see why he has scored 21 goals this season in a little over 40 games. He is always bright and showed pace and surprising strength in the first period to pull away from Ramos. Tough to play against and

Summary: Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid draw 0-0 at Vicente Calderon . Jan Oblak was excellent in goal for Atletico to keep Real at bay . Gareth Bale had a huge chance to score an away goal for Real . Raphael Varane was Real Madrid's best player in defence . Karim Benzema's struggles against Atletico Madrid continued .

A restaurant in Chicago has been voted the best restaurant in the world for a fourth year running. Alinea, run by the talented Grant Achatz has retained its crown as the best restaurant in the world, the annual poll by luxury magazine Elite Traveler revealed. The eatery, which is Chicago’s only three-Michelin-starred restaurant, is the brainchild of culinary prodigy Grant Achatz and features taffy balloons, edible tablecloths and cinnamon bark chopsticks. Scroll down for video . Alinea, a restaurant in Chicago has been voted the best restaurant in the world for a fourth year running. Alinea, run by the talented Grant Achatz has retained its crown as the best restaurant in the world, the annual poll by luxury magazine Elite Traveler revealed . The top 10 featured four American restaurants which are all in New York. Eleven Madison Park came in at fourth position, while Per Se came seventh and Le Bernardin came ninth. Achatz and his business partner Nick Kokonas opened Alinea in 2005, and it quickly became one of America's must-visit restaurants. Having a three-star Michelin star qualifies a restaurant as a place worth traveling to, just to eat at. Achatz's culinary origins, however, are surprisingly humble. He first started cooking when he was a kid, helping his mom and dad at their diner in Michigan. In July 2007, once he achieved culinary fame, Achatz had a scare when he was diagnosed with stage IV tongue cancer, which threatened to take away his sense of taste. El Celler de Can Roca, Spain, came in second place. Spain has eight in the list while Italy has seven and Australia had five . However, five months later he was able to beat the disease into remission. The US has 19 of the best restaurants in the world, followed by France which boasts 14 and the UK, which has a mere eight. Spain has eight in the list while Italy has seven and Australia had five. Germany, Japan and China have six restaurants respectively which made it into the top hundred. These include Mizai in Kyoto, Japan which placed at number 15, Aqua in Wolsberg, Germany, which came in at number 21 and Hong Kong's Amber. Switzerland, Mexico, Belgium, Singapore and Brazil all had two restaurants each in the list. Three restaurants in South Africa - The Test Kitchen, Cape Town (44); Tasting Room at Le Quartier Francais, Franschhoek (85), and Rust en Vrede, Stellenbosch (87) - were considered the best in the country. Denmark, Austria, Norway, Ireland, Monaco, India, Canada and the UAE all had one restaurant in the top 100 list. The awards also awarded its chef of the year accolade, which this year went to Swiss chef Daniel Humm, chef and co-owner of Eleven Madison Park, which came in a fourth in the list and The NoMad in New York City, which placed 89th. Both Grant Achatz and Heston Blumenthal were shortlisted. Young chef of the year went to three Michelin-starred Eneko Atxa who runs third-best restaurant in the world, Azurmendi in Spain. Head Chef of San Francisco’s Saison Joshua

Summary: Best restaurant in the world is Grant Achatz's Alinea, Chicago . The awards are voted for by readers of Elite Traveler magazine . The US has 19 of the best restaurants in the world, followed by France which boasts 14 and the UK, which has a mere eight .


A teenage Welsh international has had her promising career halted by a dead shin bone. Hannah Bluck, 18, from Porthcawl, south Wales, had her dreams shattered after a rare condition ruled her out of the game for two years. The teen football prodigy was warned by doctors that her leg could collapse into her ankle after being diagnosed with avascular necrosis in her distal tibia. Wales' Hannah Bluck, 18, has had her promising career halted after suffering a rare condition . The 18-year-old has played for the Wales youth national teams at U19, U17 and U16 level . Avascular necrosis is bone death due to poor blood supply. The flow of blood to a section of bone can be interrupted if the bone is fractured or the joint becomes dislocated. The condition can lead to the eventual collapse of the bone. It is most common in people between the ages of 30 and 60, though most suffer from it in the hip and shoulder. The ultra-rare condition has caused her weight-bearing shin bone to die from lack of oxygen. Doctors have been baffled by the condition, which has never been seen before on a leg bone and usually affects joints. Mum Kerstin said: 'The doctor told her "Hannah, you have to listen to everything I say because even if you go jogging then your leg could collapse into your ankle and that would be the worst thing that could ever happen". 'I think she's dealt with it better than we have as parents. She's been so brave. 'She has such a high pain threshold and her first words to me after her accident were "where've you been and what took you so long?" 'Hannah's a girl of few words but one of the most aggressive centre-backs you'll ever see.' The youngster set records at youth level for Wales - appearing for the under-16s, under-17s and under-19s sides in the space of just eight days - before she was struck down by a freak accident in March 2013.

Injuries: The exploding phone caused injuries so deep that doctors could see Hanghang's jawbone . A 12-year-old in central China was seriously injured when his phone exploded while it was charging. The boy, known only as Hanghang, was using the old handset as an alarm when he woke up early for school and started to play with it. He said the phone felt hot and then blew up in his face, exposing part of his jawbone and embedding fragments in his arms and legs. 'I played with the phone for a few minutes,' he said. 'The phone felt hot then it suddenly exploded and all I could see were my hands covered in blood and blood dripping from my face. 'I used a towel to stem the blood and washed my hands under the tap then I called the ambulance.' Hanghang, from Pingdingshan City, in the Henan province, told reporters at People's Daily Online that when the explosion happened he didn't dare tell his parents and called the ambulance service himself following the accident last week. He is now being treated in Ping Mei Group Hospital and is expected to need several operations to repair the damage. Hurt: Hanghang pictured lying in a hospital bed after a mobile phone exploded, injuring his face and hand . Doctors said he had 4cm injury to his face which exposed part of his lower jawbone as well as trauma to his left hand as well as lower legs and knees. He underwent emergency surgery before he was sent to the burns unit and onto the plastic surgery inpatient department. Experts believe there are three main reasons a phone may explode like this. The first is the battery itself is damaged and although it is connected to a charger it isn’t actually charging. A short circuit is another possible cause but this is a less likely unless the phone has been illegally modified in some way. The most common cause is improper charging. It affects lithium batteries more where the phone may be fully charged but is left on charging or if phone is used whilst charging may lead to lithium batteries overheating. Overheating and poor contact can result in a sudden discharge of a current and cause an explosion. Tips include to avoid using the phone while the battery is being charged by disconnecting the phone from charger before connecting a call or using any of its functions. Ensure it is not over-charged by removing the electric supply when the battery is fully charged. If the battery seems to have swollen, it should be replaced immediately. Hanghang said he could not be sure of the type of phone as it was one of several old phones. He said: 'It was the battery that exploded. I have heard my classmates talk about this happening but I never thought it would happen to me.'

Summary: Hanghang was playing on the phone after waking up early for school . He said the phone felt hot and then blew up in his hand . It left his jawbone exposed and injuries to his hand, leg and knee . Experts blame battery as most likely cause of blast .

Sergio Garcia insists he is focused on winning his first PGA Tour title since 2012 at this week's Shell Houston Open, despite the Masters being just around the corner. Rory McIlroy's bid for a third major victory in succession to complete the career grand slam, plus the question of whether Tiger Woods will end his self-imposed exile from the game, have dominated the agenda for weeks. But, although the Golf Club of Houston is set up to try to replicate some of the conditions the players will face at Augusta, Garcia is concentrating on ending his victory drought. Sergio Garcia lines up a putt during the Cadillac Championship in Doral, Florida last month . The 35-year-old, who finished third 12 months ago but went on to miss the cut at Augusta, told a pre-tournament press conference: 'I think that every single week it's a new story and some weeks you play terrible and then the next week you play amazing. 'Some weeks you play great and the next week you play terrible and some weeks I play great and then you play great. You never know what's going to come out. Obviously you hope and you wish that you play as best as you can. 'I think that there's no doubt that obviously the Masters is in the back of our minds, but I'm here to play well, to get in some good rhythm, to have a chance at winning this week and then as soon as Sunday finishes then I'll concentrate on the Masters. Garcia hits his approach from the fairway at the TPC Blue Monster Course last month . 'I'm not going to be on the golf course this week thinking maybe let's try this shot because I'll have it next week on the 12th or on the 15th or something like that. No. I'm going to be focused on what I want to achieve here and then when Sunday finishes then I can concentrate on next week. 'I felt really comfortable here when I came last year. I wanted to try it again this year and hopefully I'll do better next week, too.' Spaniard Garcia plays out of the trees by the 11th hole at Augusta during the Masters in 2013 . Garcia is also comfortable with the fact that he may never win a major after coming close yet again in the Open last year, finishing second behind McIlroy at Hoylake. 'If it comes down to me not winning any majors when I'm done with my golfing career, I'm not going to be sad,' he added. 'It's not the main thing. Obviously it's something nice to have, and if I get it I'm not going to give it back, but it's not the main thing in my life. 'I think as you get older, as you get more and more experience, you realize the important things in life. I'm not saying that winning a major is not important, but it's not the most important thing in the world. I think there's a lot of other things that you

It was meant to be the ultimate symbol of menace: carving '666' into his forehead. But in a phenomenal case of idiocy, convicted murderer Nikko Jenkins used a mirror - so the numbers came out backwards. The symbol is described in the biblical book of Revelation as 'the sign of the beast', and has since been popularized by the horror movie The Omen. However, with a series of upside-down 9s, Jenkins has fashioned himself an entirely unique - and irreversible - engraving. Botched: Nikko Jenkins (pictured in 2014) recently tried to carve '666' into his forehead but did it backwards . According to Omaha.com, Jenkins told his attorney about the incident in a phone call from his cell in Omaha, Nebraska. It comes amid the 28-year-old's ongoing appeal that he is mentally unstable and therefore ineligible to face the death penalty. Jenkins was jailed exactly one year ago for shooting dead four people in 10 days after being released from prison. During his murder trial in Douglas County, Jenkins was assessed by a doctor who concluded that he was 'a psychopath' and 'one of the most dangerous people' he had ever encountered. 'Psychopath': The 28-year-old, who a doctor described as 'one of the most dangerous people' he had ever encountered, may use the botched case of self-mutilation as evidence he is mentally unstable . Jenkins pleaded not guilty, then guilty, then ineligible for trial on the grounds of insanity. However, a judge dismissed the appeals and he was sentenced to life. The decision of whether he would be sentenced to death was delayed after Jenkins revealed he had carved a swastika into his skin. Following months of delays, he will face a panel in July to decide his fate. It is believed Jenkins may use his latest botched case of self-mutilation as further evidence that he is mentally unstable.

What if someone took your greatest insecurities and body image fears, and voiced them out loud? Known for its empowering campaigns and championing of real women, Dove has taken a more brutal approach in its latest advertisement. Showing the harsh criticism that women regularly heap upon themselves, Dove decided to see what would happen when somebody else said those things, to their faces. Scroll down for video . For the new One Beautiful Thought ad campaign, Dove asked a group of women to write down every thought they had about themselves. The women filled in a notebook each, and handed it back to Dove . Unbeknownst to the women, those negative remarks and self-body shaming were turned into a script . Created in France, Dove asked a group of women - all beautiful and impeccably chic - to write down every thought they had about themselves in a notebook. The beauty brand then took the notes away with them. Unbeknownst to the women, those criticisms, negative remarks and tirades of self body-shaming were turned into a script. What happened next, shocked them all. Dove recruited two undercover actresses to read the script, created using the notes each of the women made about themselves, while they were all within earshot. Their reactions were priceless . The comments featured in the actresses' scripted dialogue were harsh, cutting and bordering on bullying . Played out by two actresses, the script was read aloud as dialogue in a cafe, where the women themselves had been invited for coffee. In the experiment set up by Dove, the women heard the actresses repeat their own thoughts to each other, out loud. Making for a shocking scene, the script, which contained nothing but the original notes, was cutting to say the least. One woman felt insecure about her teeth, noting that she thought they made her look like a mouse . When the actresses repeated the insecurity out loud, while sitting on the next table, her shock was obvious . In one scenario, a customer sitting on a nearby table, not involved in the experiment, even intervenes. 'Your arms are too big, your silhouette is all squashed,' reads one remark written by a woman who looks no bigger than a size eight. 'Sit up straight otherwise your belly looks big,' the same woman continues. Several of the women's messages to themselves echo the kind of schoolyard bullying we'd all frown upon . In one scenario, a customer sitting on a nearby table, not involved in the experiment, even intervened . Several of the women's messages to themselves echo the kind of schoolyard bullying we'd all immediately frown upon. 'With your little baby teeth you look like a mouse,' says one. While another, 'your face looks like a bulldog,' when said out loud underlines the way many women effectively bully themselves every single day. Visibly shocked by the comments, the women recognise the dialogue as their own notes.'I hope my daughter never speaks to herself like that,' says one, moved to tears by the shock of the experiment .

Three men have today been arrested on suspicion of murdering missing chef Claudia Lawrence . Three men have today been arrested on suspicion of murdering missing chef Claudia Lawrence. North Yorkshire police confirmed the men - all aged in their 50s and from the York area - were arrested this morning. The body of the missing chef, who was 35 when she disappeared in 2009, has still not been found. Officers have now launched a fresh search for evidence which could lead to her whereabouts, which is set to continue over a number of days. Police and forensic officers have been working at three houses not far from where Miss Lawrence lived in the Heworth area of York before she went missing six years ago. It is understood the three men have not been arrested before and they remain in custody. A man, in his 50s and from the York area, was arrested last month on suspicion of her murder. He was later released on bail. A 60-year-old man was arrested last year in connection with her disappearance and suspected murder but was later released without charge. Miss Lawrence was last seen on March 18, 2009. She was reported missing by her father after concerns were raised when she failed to turn up for her 6am shift at the University of York. Detectives began reviewing the case in 2013 and have since carried out a number of searches, including a detailed re-examination of Miss Lawrence's home, in the Heworth area of York, and a fingertip search of an alleyway that leads to the rear of the house. They have also issued previously unseen CCTV footage of two people walking near the house. The new arrests, and the arrest in March, are understood to be linked to these lines of inquiry. Detective Superintendent Dai Malyn, head of North Yorkshire Police's Major Crime Unit and the senior investigating officer in the Claudia Lawrence inquiry, said: 'I urge everyone to again show restraint and patience while we carry out these very important enquiries. Your co-operation and support is greatly appreciated by the investigation team.'

People living around the homes that are being searched said officers arrived just before 7am. At

Summary: Police confirmed the men are all aged in their 50s and from the York area . Comes after another man, in his 50s and from York, arrested last month . The latest men to be held by police are believed to be fresh arrests . Body of missing chef, 35 when she disappeared in 2009, hasn't been found .


Sons and brothers of convicted sex offenders are more likely to be convicted of sex crimes than others, a recent study claimed . The implication is that the potential for committing a sex offence may be written in our genes - but while this is an interesting finding, it is unlikely to help prevent sex crimes or catch offenders. This is because the genes that make up the people who we are, and the environments in which we are raised cannot be considered independently of each other. The brothers of men convicted of sex offences are five times more likely than average to commit similar crimes, a study found. Johnny Savile (left) is accused of abusing seven women, while Jimmy Savile (right) raped and sexually assaulted patients in 41 hospitals during a 24 year reign of abuse . The research analysed DNA from 21,566 men convicted of sex offences in Sweden between 1973 and 2009. It found that sons and brothers of convicted sex offenders were four to five times more likely to be convicted of sex crimes than men in the general population. In seeking to explain this connection, the researchers found that in only 2 per cent of cases could this familial connection be explained by shared environmental factors. This can include social or environmental aspects of their upbringing that siblings would have experienced together. On the other hand, their shared genetics were a factor in 40 per cent of cases, with the remaining 58 per cent of cases stemming from environmental factors not shared between family members. Genetic factors were also found to be stronger for child molestation (46 per cent) than for adult rape (19 per cent). While the study makes an estimate of the heritability of sexual offending, it cannot of course pinpoint the genes that might be involved. Dr Mairi Levitt says that genetic material from both parents is passed on, but genetic traits are developed through interaction between genes and the environment . Putting a figure on the genetic basis for behaviour seems to suggest that these factors are inherited directly by the children from their parents. Of course genetic material from both parents is passed on, but genetic traits are developed through interaction between genes and the environment. As can be seen from the percentages above, the largest proportion of cases involved a large, rag bag of environmental factors that are by far the greatest influence on behaviour. You may not have been born a criminal, but a combination of genes and environment could control your fate when it comes to anti-social behaviour. This is according to a recent study which found that experiences, such as divorce and sexual abuse, could affect gene expressions that control a person's predisposition to delinquency. The study used a survey of 1,337 students aged 17 or 18 in Västmanland, Sweden, who anonymously completed questionnaires reporting on their behaviour. As well as their behaviour, they spoke about past family conflict, experiences of sexual abuse, and the quality of their relationship with their parents. They also provided a sample of

Summary: Recent study found sons and brothers of convicted sex offenders were four to five times more likely to be convicted of sex crimes . Some argue this knowledge could help prevent people from offending . Dr Mairi Levitt says the genetic study can't separate nature from nurture .

Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat produced a brilliant finish to claim his second European Tour title and break Chinese hearts in the inaugural Shenzhen International on Sunday. Teenager Li Hao-tong looked to have done enough to secure a hugely popular victory on home soil, the 19-year-old emerging from a crowded leaderboard to card a closing 67 to finish 12 under par. That left overnight leader Aphibarnrat two shots behind with two holes to play, only for the 25-year-old to hole from 18 feet for an eagle on the 17th and then miss from 12 feet for what would have been a winning birdie on the last. Kiradech Aphibarnrat poses with the trophy having won his second European Tour title in Shenzhen . The players returned to the 18th for the play-off and Aphibarnrat completed victory in style, hitting his approach to virtually the same place as he had in regulation and this time holing the birdie putt after Li had missed from long range. 'I have been struggling for a year,' said Aphibarnrat, whose previous win came in the Malaysian Open in 2013. 'I lost my coach (Natpasit Chokthanasart, who died in December 2013), I changed my equipment and haven't been on the top of the leaderboard for a while but finally I can do it and it was great. 'I had a chance to win in 72 holes but the putt in the play-off is the best putt I have ever made in my life.' Aphibarnrat can't hold back his emotions, celebrating on the 18th green with his Mother . Aphibarnrat had been six shots clear of the field after 16 holes of the third round, but finished double-bogey, bogey to take a two-shot advantage into the final day. That was wiped out by a fast start from Spain's Pablo Larrazabal, who carded four birdies and one bogey in his first six holes, with Aphibarnrat also dropping shots on the fifth and seventh. Birdies on the ninth and 10th took Aphibarnrat back into the lead as Larrazabal fell away, but bogeys on the 12th and 15th opened the door for Li to take over at the top thanks to birdies on the 11th, 13th and 14th. The 25-year-old was evidently emotional (left), and congratulated by Chinese teenager Li Hao-tong (right) Another birdie on the 17th made Li odds-on favourite to become the first Chinese winner of a European Tour event on home soil, but the 19-year-old could only watch on television as Aphibarnrat conjured up a brilliant finish. 'It's been such a tough day today,' Aphibarnrat added. 'I didn't start well like the other days with three or four birdies, I was one over on the front nine and Pablo was playing great to start. He put a lot of pressure on me. 'I tried to play more safe than the first three rounds because the wind was picking up and it was not easy to make birdies. I just tried to hit it on the greens but I was struggling with my putting, everything was too tight and I felt nervous on

Summary: Chinese teenager Li Hao-tong emerged to take the lead on 12 under par . Overnight leader Kiradech Aphibarnrat two shots behind with two to play . Aphibarnrat forced a play-off to take his second European Tout title .


The next stage of evolution may well be upon us after a monkey unscrewed the lid of a water bottle and took a drink. Filmed on a hot day in Bali, Indonesia the video, shot by Australian tourist Dirk Nienaber, shows a monkey interacting with a tour guide, who squirts water at the primate from a hole in a water bottle in a bid to cool it down. As the monkey continues to approach, the man throws the bottle over to it and scarpers with a smirk – as if aware of what the monkey may do next. The monkey interactes with a tour guide, who squirts water at it from a hole in a water bottle in a bid to cool it down . With bottle in hand, the monkey takes its time before attempting to quench its thirst. Shaking its head, it flicks the water from itself and, rather like a human would, lifts a finger to its face to wipe the residue from its eye. It then stands the bottle up on its side and while supporting it with its right hand, casually unscrews the cap with its left – all the while it stares nonchalantly at the camera. The monkey recieves the bottle and holds it in its hands before attempting to quench its thirst . A bystanders gasps as the monkey casually unscrews the cap with its hand and throws it to one side . A bystanders gasps and says: ‘He knows how to open the cap,’ as the monkey chucks it to the side and lifts the bottle to its mouth. Tilting its head back, the primate then begins gulping down the liquid – remarkably spilling very little, although some water is visible dripping down its face. Stopping for a break, the monkey casually holds the bottle in its right hand while posing for the camera. The monkey tilts its head back and begins gulping down the water, spilling very little of the liquid on its face . Before gently wiping its mouth and having another drink of water. The video later pans out slightly to show a number of people standing around watching in awe of the monkey. And concludes with satisfied primate placing the bottle in its mouth and heading off away from the crowd. The monkey stops to take a break, wipes its face and then has another drink before running off with the bottle .

Continuing, and perhaps in a sideways swipe at the relationship between Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo at La Liga rivals Real Madrid, Pique said: . 'Being a footballer always goes hand in hand with a certain amount of egotism, but those three really do have a special relationship. In Madrid, there has been much speculation over Cristiano Ronaldo's (left) frustration with Gareth Bale . Barcelona are preparing for their Champions League quarter-final match against Paris Saint-Germain . 'They get on superbly. There's no hint of jealousy and that shows on the pitch.' Ronaldo's frustration with Bale has received much media attention over the last month, culminating in the Portugal star's non-celebration and apparent frustration at Bale taking the limelight to score a goal against Levante in March. Over in Barcelona, the Nou Camp's front three have a combined 88 goals between them in all competitions this season, and could add to that when they take to the field at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.

Many couples disagree over what to name their children — but one New York couple’s battle over their unborn baby’s moniker became so unbearable that they have asked random members of the public to help them reach a decision. Kseniya Soukeras, who is due in August, wants to name her unborn child Michael, after her late father. Her husband Nicholas prefers the Greek name Spyridon, after his own father. Because they have been unable to settle their disagreement privately, the couple has turned to the general public to help them make a decision; Nicholas, 37, has launched an online petition asking for help to sway his wife. Baby name showdown: Nicholas and Kseniya Soukeras can't agree over whether to name their child Spyridon or Michael, which Nicholas says his wife will shorten to Mischa . 'The argument is serious — it’s not a joke,' Kseniya, 33, told the New York Post. 'I don’t want to call my son something I can’t even pronounce.' According to the petition, Kseniya finds the name Spyridon 'archaic, base, bereft of elegance and unsuitable for a child living in 21st century America'. But Nicholas argues that his wife simply has not had the opportunity to grow to like the name, and that her 'Russian ear is not trained for the sweet, musical sounds of our Greek nomenclature'. Rich history: Nicholas says the name Spyridon 'has been held by the highest and most honored officials and patriots of both the U.S. and the former Soviet Union' However, the nights of 'bickering about it back and forth' may be moot: the couple does not even know for sure whether they are even having a son. 'My husband is convinced. He thinks he’s a psychic... he thinks he can see through the belly,' says Kseniya. In fact, if the couple has a girl, Nicholas is willing to let Kseniya choose the name; he also says that if they name their first born son Spyridon, his wife can choose the name of their second son. Mystery child: The couple doesn't yet know the sex of their baby; if it's a girl, Nicolas will surrender all naming rights to Kseniya . While they wait to find out, Nicholas is hoping to get 100,000 signatures supporting his choice — the magic number that his wife agreed would be enough for him to get his way. 'I’ll settle for 100,000 — this is an approximate population of my hometown Maladzyechna,' says Kseniya, who was born in Belarus. Nicholas is still far off from his goal, but his nuanced plea has so far garnered over 200 supporters.

Summary: Nicholas Soukeras, 37, of Queens, New York wants his future son to be called Spyridon, after his father . His wife, Kseniya, 33, doesn't like the 'archaic' name and prefers to call their child Michael . Nicholas needs his online petition to earn 100,000 signatures for his wife to relent . Ironically, the couple don’t actually know for certain that they are having a boy .
