Ed Miliband today refused to guarantee that Harriet Harman would become Deputy Prime Minister if Labour wins the general election. Just hours before the party launched its women's manifesto, the Labour leader declined several chances to say that his deputy would get the second most powerful job if he gets to Number 10. The snub comes just three days after Miss Harman made clear that she intended to take the role were Labour to make it back into power. Ed Miliband today refused to confirm that deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman would become Deputy Prime Minister if Labour wins the general election . Miss Harman has previously suggested that Gordon Brown's refusal in 2007 to maker her Deputy PM was sexist. Today Mr Miliband also refused to guarantee her the role. He told BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour: 'Well she's the shadow deputy Prime Minister at the moment. 'I've made a sort of self-denying ordinance which is that I don't do what I call measuring the curtains, which is starting to presume the result of the election on May 7th. 'Harriet is an incredibly strong, incredible asset to our party, I can't say fairer than that, but I'm not going to start anticipating what might happen after the election.' His remarks will infuriate Miss Harman, who told the BBC's Andrew Marr show on Sunday that she intended to become Deputy Prime Minister. 'Well I'm Shadow Deputy Prime Minister and I hope that we'll get into government,' she said. Last year Miss Harman used a speech to criticise Mr Brown for not making her Deputy PM when she was elected Labour's deputy leader. 'Imagine my surprise when having won a hard-fought election to succeed John Prescott as deputy leader of the Labour Party, I discovered that I was not to succeed him as deputy prime minister,' she said. 'If one of the men had won the deputy leadership would that have happened? Would they have put up with it? I doubt it.' While refusing to guarantee the job to Miss Harman, Mr Miliband has given stronger assurance to shadow Chancellor Ed Balls that he will have the top job at the Treasury, however. Last month he said: 'I'll tell you who is going to be writing a Labour Budget – it's me and Ed Balls, not Alex Salmond in a million years.' Miss Harman is touring the UK in a pink bus which is meant to showcase 'women's issues' but has been derided for being patronising to female voters . Mr Miliband also defended Miss Harman's 'pink bus', saying he 'loved it' but had not yet been on board. The pink bus – which is meant to showcase 'women's issues' - has been derided for being patronising to female voters. But Mr Miliband defended it, saying at least it 'provoked' a conversation. 'I love the pink bus, I am aspiring to go on it.' He also hit out at suggestions that his wife Justine Thornton had fallen into the 'trap' of being an accessory on the campaign trail, insisting she cared deeply about

Summary: Labour leader declines several times to say that his deputy would get job . Harman suggested it was sexist of Gordon Brown not to make her deputy . Miliband defends Labour's pink bus touring country to woo women . Admits he would be hit by his plan for a Mansion Tax on £2million homes .


A lobster restaurant in Canada has issued a detailed and sincere apology after it was attacked by online commenters for a ban on 'small screaming children'. Lobster Pound and Moore, in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, had posted 'effective as of now, we will no longer allow small screaming children', saying that it 'caters to those who enjoy food and are out to enjoy themselves'. The message, posted last Sunday night, was deleted by Monday morning after a torrent of online abuse came from disgruntled parents. Scroll down for video . Lobster Pound and Moore in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, kicked off a Internet debate when it announced that it would no longer allow 'small screaming children' into its dining room . The Canadian seafood restaurant had said that it was 'an adult themed restaurant that caters to those who enjoy food and are out to enjoy themselves' Commenters began giving the restaurant's Facebook page one-star reviews and said that they would never again set foot in his restaurant. 'Wouldn't grace their doors if they paid me. Their lack of compassion to even post in a professional manner leaves such a bad taste who would bother to try the food!' Sarah Valley said on a poor review. Others said that some adults were far more annoying at restaurants than children and said they took particular offense because children can have tantrums due to special needs conditions such as autism. The restaurant later posted an apology on the page, saying that the 'hate and threats' the owner had received had prompted him to reconsider his policy. It said that it chose the 'wrong words' for its post and that it 'will take any belly that is hungry'. Abuse targeting his restaurant, as well as 'hate and threats' aimed at his family, prompted chef and owner Richard Moore to reverse his policy and make a detailed apology on Facebook . Moore said that he always tries his best to provide for his customers but made an unfortunate choice of words when he called his youngest patrons 'small screaming children' instead of 'Lil diners having a moment' The restaurateur said that he sympathized with parents whose children have tantrums because of special needs conditions such as autism, saying he understands it 'first hand' 'I love kids and would have them if I could. I shouldnt have used the word screaming but should have said something like 'Lil diners having a moment', the owner Richard Moore said. He continued that he tries to accommodate everyone's dietary needs and 'understands first hand conditions such as autism'. 'I never considered the hate and threats it would bring against not only me but those I love and for that I'm truly sorry . 'I know some may find this silly but I love Cape Breton and moved home to give back. I've disappointed you and myself. 'I will do better even if you don't give me the chance. I was trying to be different and the 'go to ' happening place.' After the owner's heartfelt apology, other Nova Scotia residents

Owner changed policy after 'hate and threats' against him and his family . Restaurateur said he should have said 'lil diners having a moment' and not used the word 'screaming' in heartfelt apology .


Former Treasurer Peter Costello has fired a damaging salvo at the Abbott government just weeks out from its second budget, describing its approach to taxation as a 'morbid joke'. Ever since the government released his tax discussion paper calling for a 'lower, simpler, fairer' system there has been nothing but suggestions for taxes that are higher, more complicated and less economic, the former Liberal treasurer in an opinion piece in the Daily Telegraph. 'Lower, simpler, fairer is looking like a morbid joke,' Mr Costello said on Tuesday, citing a proposed bank deposit tax and a push for a greater contribution from multinational companies. Peter Costello slammed the Abbott government, describing its approach to taxation as a 'morbid joke' Treasurer Joe Hockey was not impressed with the Costello critique, lamenting the fact his Liberal predecessor had more tax revenue to use during the Howard government years . 'The government needs to restart the conversation about getting taxes down, not up.' He also slams Labor and the Greens, saying using the tax system to re-distribute income would trap Australians in poverty. 'The tax system is there to raise government revenue at the lowest cost in the most efficient way doing the least damage to the economy.' Treasurer Joe Hockey was not impressed with the Costello critique, lamenting the fact his Liberal predecessor had more tax revenue to use during the Howard government years. 'If I had the same revenue as he had, then I'd be getting $25 billion extra each year to spend on things,' he told Sky News from New York, pointing to the abolition of the carbon and mining taxes. 'Everyone's entitled to give free advice and frankly, that's what it's worth - it's free advice. The Abbott government is due to deliver its second budget on May 12 . Assistant Treasurer Josh Frydenberg praised Mr Costello as a 'very distinguished' former treasurer, but said the government had reduced the overall tax take and a small business tax cut was on its way . 'I would suggest that people stop looking back to what it was and focus on the challenges of today and tomorrow, no matter who they are.' Assistant Treasurer Josh Frydenberg praised Mr Costello as a 'very distinguished' former treasurer, but said the government had reduced the overall tax take and a small business tax cut was on its way. The coalition was also having to deal with lower commodity prices than the Howard government enjoyed, he told ABC radio. In an opinion piece, Fairfax economics editor Peter Martin argued that Hockey had inherited economic problems created by superannuation changes Costello introduced when he was treasurer. Mr Martin labelled 2006 budget changes which saw super payouts become tax free for the majority of Australians aged over 60 as 'stupid' and 'expensive'. He quoted economist Saul Eslake who labelled the change 'one of the worst taxation policy decisions of the past 20 years'.

Summary: Peter Costello slammed government pledge for 'lower, simpler, fairer' taxes . The former treasurer singled out Joe Hockey's proposed new bank tax and Josh Frydenberg's push for revenue from multinationals . Mr Hockey hit back at Mr Costello, saying he wished he had the tax revenue the former treasurer had when the Coalition was last in power .

Vin Los, 24, gained notoriety last year for his tattoo-covered visage and his dreams of becoming the most famous man in the world; despite facing heavy criticism about his unique ink, Vin insisted that the Sharpie-like tattoos on his face, neck, chest, and arms 'embody pop culture', create 'a myth, a mystery' and would one day help him to achieve his goal of global fame.

'You could look at me in a hundred years from now and really get the idea of what pop culture was like in the early 2010s,' he told Vice last year, adding that the words and phrases he chooses are inspired by YouTube songs, places, and other 'superficial' things. 'I want to be an image for people to look at, something that has an impact,' he says. 'Everybody who sees me is bound to ask questions: “Why fame? What’s his life like?”' Art history: Vin says he got his first tattoo around the age of 16; it's the logo for Le Coq Sportif on his chest .

Whether he is in a car park, a factory or even a field, Ed Miliband is never far from a lectern during the election campaign. The Labour leader has been touring the country with the prop in an attempt to make him appear more statesmanlike. He has delivered key speeches in the campaign stood behind the lectern. But it has also been deployed when he is just making some brief remarks or holding question and answer events with members of the public. The Labour leader has been touring the country with the prop in an attempt to make him appear more statesmanlike - using it in a north London street on April 16 and then in Lincoln the next day . He has delivered key speeches in the campaign stood behind the lectern - including at a NHS rally in Leeds on April 23 (left). But it has also been deployed when he is just making some brief remarks or holding question and answer events - and even in the middle of a field in Nuneaton yesterday (right) Mr Miliband’s enthusiasm for speaking from behind a podium comes after his disastrous party conference speech last September when he forgot to mention the deficit while speaking without a lectern or autocue. As Mr Miliband launched Labour’s election campaign at the top of the ArcelorMittal Orbit in Olympic Park last month he spoke in front of the lectern branded with a Union Jack flag and the Labour logo. When he unveiled the party’s manifesto in Manchester he also spoke from behind the lectern. And during his audience question and answer in the first televised leaders’ debate on Channel 4 and Sky News he chose to speak from behind a lectern, while David Cameron chose instead to have a stool on stage. The lectern has also been used in some more unconventional settings though. As he spoke in the car park of an engineering factory in Loughborough the lectern was put on a small raised platform next to a puddle. When he visited the national Composites Centre in Bristol he conducted a Q&A in front of an aeroplane with the lectern. The revelation that Mr Miliband had brought in leadership coaches after Mr Miliband faced ridicule yesterday after being pictured standing at a lectern in the middle of a field in a bid to look prime ministerial. Then this week as he launched Labour campaign billboards in Nuneaton, he spoke from behind a lectern, even though he was in the middle of a cricket pitch. The constant use of the lectern is thought to be part of a strategy to make Mr Miliband look more like a man who could be prime minister. Last month it was reported that he had hired US speech coach Michael Sheehan on a £10,000 daily fee to improve his delivery and charisma. Mr Sheehan’s website includes a video where he advises politicians on how to speak at a lectern, including not holding onto the sides in what he calls a ‘death grip’. It comes as it was revealed that

The Labour leader even spoke from behind a lectern in the middle of a field . It is thought to be a strategy to make him look more like a Prime Minister . He currently trails badly behind David Cameron in personal ratings . It has also emerged he has hired a 'performance coaching' firm for help .


Joe Root admitted pitches like the one in Grenada make it easier to make centuries and harder to win games, as West Indies batted themselves into a position of relative comfort on day four of the second Test. Regardless of the state of the wicket, Root was in superb touch on his way to 182 not out in the morning session, his second highest score and the fourth of his six hundreds to pass the 150 mark. But for the second match in a row England's hopes of pushing for victory were railroaded by a dead pitch that was arguably better for run-making than on day one. Joe Root hits another ball to the boundary on his way to an impressive big hundred in Grenada . Root admitted that the flat pitch made it too easy to score runs and too tough to take wickets . Root's efforts left the West Indies with a 165-run deficit, but they cleared that to finish 37 ahead on 202 for two at stumps. Speaking after the match, Root lifted the lid on the tourists' frustrations. 'These pitches are great for batters because we get big scores but as far as Test cricket is concerned, it's not ideal,' he said. 'Unfortunately, it's a very unresponsive pitch and it's been hard work . 'We all thought it might break up a little bit more and give a little bit more spin than it has done, but unfortunately it hasn't happened. 'This is what we've got to deal with, and we've just got to get on the best we can.' Stuart Broad, who eventually took the wicket of Darren Bravo, found the going tough in Grenada . Ben Stokes sees the ball disappear to the boundary once again as England struggled on day four . In all likelihood, the destiny of the game will be decided in the morning. England are five overs away from a new ball - which has been the only bankable way of making things happen - and must make it count with a cluster of wickets to set themselves for success. 'We're going to need a very good first hour in the morning,' he said. 'With the new ball we'll need a couple of early wickets and you never know. They're only 40 ahead, so if it's bang bang in the morning we've got a game on our hands. 'That would definitely give us the best chance of winning the game on a very flat wicket. 'Our only chance is wickets with the new ball, whether it be with seam or spin, that's the way it looks at the moment, but you never know.' Root admitted that England need early wickets with the new ball, just as James Anderson achieved on day four . West Indies go in to the final morning with Kraigg Brathwaite on 101 not out having compiled a dogged fourth Test ton and England's tormentor-in-chief Marlon Samuels alongside. Samuels, who memorably saluted Ben Stokes after his dismissal on the third evening, was not sledged when he arrived at the

Summary: Joe Root scored 182* but criticises lifeless pitch in Grenada . England struggled to take wickets on fourth day, as draw looks likely . Root admits England 'need a very good first hour' to force a result .

It was one of the most horrific disasters of the First World War, which still haunts the descendants of those who died. Yesterday, as commemorations were held all over the world to mark the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli campaign, the Royal Family led tributes to those who fought and fell in the ill-fated offensive. The day began in London with a dawn ceremony at Wellington Arch on Hyde Park Corner, attended by Princess Anne. Later the Queen, joined by the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince William and political leaders, led the nation during a ceremony at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, while Prince Charles was in Turkey with Prince Harry.

The national flags of Australia, New Zealand, Turkey and the UK were carried through the Abbey and placed close to the high altar as a sign of reconciliation between old enemies. Earlier, Charles and Harry joined more than 10,000 people in a dawn pilgrimage at Gallipoli to honour the bravery of the Allied troops who stormed the peninsula's beaches in 1915. The landings were supposed to be a decisive blow that would knock the Turks out of the war. But eight months of bloody fighting later, after an estimated 145,000 lives on both sides had been lost, the Allies pulled out, having failed in their objective. Around 58,000 Allied troops were killed, many from Australia and New Zealand. Almost 36,000 Commonwealth servicemen are buried or commemorated on Gallipoli. Prince Charles gave a moving reading about troops weeping as they left their dead comrades behind when they left Gallipoli. He read the words of a soldier, who wrote: 'The hardest feature of the evacuation was in leaving those dead comrades behind. They had bequeathed us a sacred trust.'

The Queen and Princess Margaret recorded a special tape of favourite children's songs for the Queen Mother's 90th birthday in August 1990. Pianist Laurie Holloway was invited to Buckingham Palace by Princess Margaret to accompany herself and The Queen for the performance which was recorded on a cassette tape. The Royals recorded songs such as I know Where The Flies Go In Winter Time, which were incredibly popular when the Queen and her sister were growing up. The Queen was 64 at the time and Margaret 59. The Queen, left, and Princess Margaret, right made the recording for the Queen Mother, centre, in 1990 . The Queen Mother, centre right, was said to be delighted by the unique recording by her daughters . Mr Holloway told The Mirror that he arrived at the Palace and was shown into a room containing a piano and two microphones. He said: 'There was a sound engineer. We recorded each song in one take. The Queen has a nice, sweet tone to her voice.' Princess Margaret told Mr Holloway that the Queen Mother really liked the tape - although she had to go into her car to listen to it as she did not own a cassette player. Unfortunately, the unique recording was lost following the Queen Mother's death in 2002 at the age of 101. Meanwhile, it has emerged that the Queen Mother enjoyed a drink of gin at 11am according to a new biography of her favourite servant Billy Tallon. The Queen Mother enjoyed dancing with Mr Tallon, who she referred to as William. She preferred the music of the 1920s. He was responsible for delivering The Queen Mother her first drink of the day and if it wasn't strong enough she would remark: '‘William, do remember that when it comes to gin I have my reputation to consider.’ Pianist Laurie Holloway, pictured, was asked to accompany the Queen by Princess Margaret .

Millions of years of erosion, explosions and a touch of folklore form the narrative behind some of the most unbelievable sights in the world. From sweeping curves of Arizona's The Wave in the U.S. to the Fairy Chimneys of Turkey's Cappadocia, the simple flow of water over stone has created some remarkable features that look as though they aren't even of this planet, all of which we can visit and marvel at today. Many of them are incredible natural deceptions, such as Yellowstone National Park's Grand Prismatic Spring, which looks for all money in some photographs like a volcano but is in fact the first largest hot spring in the world. Here are some of the most unbelievable landscapes in the world. Scroll down for video . The Wave, Arizona . The sweeping design of this sandstone rock formation is found in the Coyote Buttes area of the Arizona Strip in Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness area that would be hugely popular with hikers were it not so heavily protected. Experts say the best photo opportunities come at midday but first visitors must get one of the 20 permits released each day for the area, with 10 of them released via a lottery four months in advance and the other ten dished out the day before an intended visit. Experts say the best photo opportunities for The Wave come at midday but first visitors must get one of the 20 permits released each day . Once permission is granted to visit there are no marked hiking tracks to get you there, as authorities are keen to preserve its natural beauty formed by the erosion of Navajo Sandstone during Jurassic age. The 190 million-year-old formation is made of sand dunes which turned to rock through time. They are stacked on top of another and hardened by deposit of calcium salts - causing the vertical and horizontal layers. The rocks are 190 million years old, and visitors are reminded to respect the beautiful environment . Svinafellsjokull glacier, Iceland . Svinafellsjokull glacier, part of the great Vatnajökull Glacier in Skaftafell National Park, may look totally inhospitable but with the right gear and guide it's a popular hiking destination. Icelandic Mountain Guides are among a host of companies running tours and charge from £65 for a four-hour walk. The glacier has also achieved an extra level of fame recently after being one of the filming locations for the blockbuster film Interstellar, starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, where is wasn't a huge stretch for the icy landscape to co-star as space. Svinafellsjokull glacier, part of the great Vatnajökull Glacier in Skaftafell National Park, is a popular hiking destination in Iceland . 'Interstellar was my second time filming in Iceland and it was another worldly experience,' the director told Film In Iceland.

Getting the best price for your unwanted wares online can seem like a fine art, but researchers have found a simple trick that could see your bids soar. Economists plotted how much goods listed on eBay sold for and discovered that items with precise prices attract higher offers than those with round numbers, such as $1,000. In fact, sellers who end their price with ‘00’ typically receive offers that are five to eight per cent lower than those with more specific prices. US researchers claim that exact prices of goods on eBay attract higher offers than round numbers. This chart shows that when the posted initial price is of a round number (the red dots), like $1,000, the average counteroffer is much lower than if it is a non-round number (the blue circles), like $1,079 . In terms of the study, the word 'odd' is used to represent an unusual number, and not the opposite of even. Competitive options for buyers and sellers can define a limit beyond which they will not go, but there is still a range of prices that fall within those limits, Professor of Strategic Management at University of Toronto, Joshua Gans, writes for The Conversation. Within that range, sellers are looking for a higher price while buyers would like a lower one, so each has an incentive to signal to the other their willingness to be a tough negotiator. Sometimes, however, sellers may want to send a signal they are willing to be less tough, such as when they are keen to sell an item quickly. One method is to lower their starting price, but this isn’t always desirable. Sellers on eBay who end their price with ‘00’ typically receive offers for their goods that are five to eight per cent lower than those with more specific prices, such as this watch example . While eBay is used for auctions, the bulk of its business comes from 'Buy it now' sales, such as this iPhone. The study found that prices that end in '00' as above are more likely to sell quickly, but may not attract the most lucrative counter offers from sellers . Researchers from Cornell University, eBay Research Labs and the University of California, Berkeley, have addressed the problem in a new paper. Researchers from Cornell University, eBay Research Labs and the University of California looked at pricing strategies within the confines of eBay’s so-called 'negotiation platform'. Most trades on the site are listed for a ‘Buy it now’ price and the seller can give buyers the option of making them an alternative offer. For example, a seller of an iPhone may list a price of $1,000 (£660), and someone might come back with a counteroffer of $800 (£530). This could go on for about three rounds, in line with eBay rules, and could last up to a week. The study found that when the initial price is a round number, such as $1,000, the average counteroffer is between five and eight per cent lower than if it is a non-round number, like $1,079. In

Summary: Researchers claim using exact prices when selling goods on eBay attract higher offers than round numbers . Sellers who end prices with ‘00’ typically receive offers up to 8% lower . However, goods with round numbers typically sell faster, the study claims .

A former defence minister has accused world leaders of concealing the presence of aliens. Paul Hellyer, who was a Canadian minister from 1963 to 1967, is now urging world powers to release what he believes to be hidden data on UFOs. 'Much of the media won't touch [the documents]', he said during a keynote speech at the Disclosure Canada Tour at the University of Calgary. Scroll down for video . A former defence minister has accused world leaders of concealing aliens. Paul Hellyer, who was a Canadian minister from 1963 to 1967, is urging world powers to release what he believes to be hidden data on UFOs . 'You just have to keep working away and hope that someday you get a critical mass,' he said, according to a report by CTV. '[The public] will say, in one way or another, "Mr President or Mr Prime Minister we want the truth and we want it now because it affects our lives."' Hellyer, 91, first went public with his belief in aliens on Earth in 2005, becoming the first high ranking politician to do so. He claims that the aliens have 'been visiting our planet for thousands of years' and are unimpressed with how we live. 'We spend too much time fighting each other, we spend too much money on military expenditures and not enough on feeding the poor and looking after the homeless and sick,' he said. In this image, secretary of defense at the time, Robert McNamara (right) talks at the pentagon, in Washington with his Canadian counterpart, Paul Hellyer (left), in 1963. Hellyer is the first high ranking politician to publicly state that aliens are real . Watch the full interview here . Last year, the former Canadian defence minister declared on Russian TV that aliens are walking among us. But he said they are refusing to share their advanced technologies until we change our polluting and warring ways. He told Russia Today's program SophieCo there are 80 different species of extra-terrestrials some of whom 'look just like us and they could walk down the street and you wouldn't know if you walked past one.' In the bizarre interview, Hellyer made a series of pronouncements about aliens which grew increasingly outlandish and sounded closer to the plot of Star Trek. 'We have a long history of UFOs and of course there has been a lot more activity in the last few decades since we invented the atomic bomb,' he said. 'They are very concerned about that and that we might use it again, because the whole cosmos as a unity, and it affects not just us but other people in the cosmos. 'They are very much afraid that we might be stupid enough to start using atomic weapons again.' However Hellyer told SophieCo that most of the aliens want to help rather than destroy us. 'I would say that nearly all are benign and benevolent and they do want to help us, there may be one or two species which do not,' he said. Hellyer believes aliens are responsible for

The Islamic State group claimed credit on Saturday a bombing near the US consulate in Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region a day earlier that killed two Turks. 'Security detachments were able to... detonate a car bomb left at the American consulate building in the city that led to the killing and wounding of many of them,' ISIS said in a daily audio message posted online. But the US State Department said the bombing in Ainkawa, near Kurdish regional capital Arbil, did not kill or wound any consular employees. People gather at the site of a blast in Arbil's Ankawa neighborhood, the capital of the autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq, on April 17, 2015 . Kurdish security forces respond to the large explosion, which can be seen in the distance . Saman Barzanchi, the head of the Arbil health department, said Saturday that two ethnically Kurdish Turks were killed and eight people wounded. Officials had said Friday three people were killed. An ISIS-spearheaded offensive overran large areas of Iraq last year, and forces from the Kurdistan region have battled the jihadists on multiple fronts in the north. The relatively stable region has largely been spared the bombings and shootings that have plagued other parts of Iraq on an almost daily basis. The last major attack was a suicide car bombing near the governor's compound in Arbil in November. Islamic State also claimed responsibility for two car bombings in Baghdad that killed at least 27 people on Friday. 'The fighters of the Islamic State detonated two car bombs in the heart of the Iraqi capital this evening and a third in Erbil,' the group said via its news agency. Saman Barzanchi, the head of the Arbil health department, said Saturday that two ethnically Kurdish Turks were killed and eight people wounded . Officials had said Friday three people were killed, but that number was later changed to two . An ISIS-spearheaded offensive overran large areas of Iraq last year, and forces from the Kurdistan region have battled the jihadists on multiple fronts in the north . Last week, two bomb attacks claimed by Egyptian jihadists loyal to the Islamic State killed at least 14 people in the restive Sinai Peninsula, including 11 security personnel. Ansar Beit al-Maqdis, which has carried out a slew of attacks in Sinai since the army's ouster of Islamist president Mohamed Morsi in July 2013, claimed responsibility. A roadside bomb attack on an army vehicle killed six soldiers and wounded two near the North Sinai town of Sheikh Zuweid, a jihadist stronghold. 'An armoured personnel carrier for the army of the apostates was destroyed... killing and wounding all aboard,' Ansar Beit al-Madqis said on a Twitter account attributed to it. The military said six soldiers were killed in the attack. 'Their vehicle was targeted by an explosive device placed by the extremist terrorist elements which left an officer, a sergeant, and four soldiers martyred, and two other soldiers wounded,' it said on its Facebook page.

Dani Alves posted a picture of himself with his trousers down on his Instagram account on Thursday. With one message coming out of the player’s camp and a very different one emerging from the Nou Camp it’s difficult to know who feels they have been left exposed by who. We take a look at the contract wrangle and ask: could he really end up at Manchester United? Dani Alves, out of contract at the end of the campaign, is pictured training for Barcelona on Friday . His contract runs out on June 30 why has it come to this? Barcelona had never planned to keep Alves beyond this season. He’s served them brilliantly but he will be 32 next month and on £85,000-a-week he is one of their top earning defenders along with Gerard Pique. What they were not counting on is their own incompetence in finding a replacement for him and the FIFA transfer ban that stops them buying anyone this summer. So now they want him to stay? They do, but very much on their terms. The club are letting it be known they have offered him a two-year deal with an option of a third year depending on the number of games played in the second year. Alves’ camp say it’s actually a one-year deal to be renewed for a second year, and then a third year, only if he plays a certain number of matches. The new contract also comes with incentives. If he wins things then he will end up earning the same money but his basic earnings before bonuses would drop. Barcelona defender Alves has been sounded out by Manchester United over a move to Old Trafford . And there are other clubs who will gladly take him? After weeks of rumours that the suitors were queuing around the Nou Camp to sign him up it now seems that one big club has offered him a three-year deal with none of the strings, sub-clauses and trap-doors as the Barca deal. And that club is Manchester United? United are the prime suspects with PSG out of the running. But Alves' camp say now is not the time to name the club. You sound doubtful… . Only in as much as if Manchester United had really offered him a three-year deal would he still be haggling with Barcelona? Surely a Premier League swansong at Old Trafford is the perfect way to round off what has been a remarkable career with the Spanish giants – winning four leagues, three cups and two Champions League titles. Perhaps he just really wants to stay in Barcelona? The children he has with ex-wife Dinorah Santa Ana (who is now his agent) live in the city and after 13 years in Spain he is reluctant to leave.

England are set to face trial by leg-spin after West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin confirmed Devendra Bishoo will play in Tuesday's second Test. Wrist spin has long been a bete noire for England batsmen, a quirk that has been passed down the DNA since Australia's Shane Warne dominated the old enemy for more than a decade. Peter Moores' current side, with the fresh faces of Gary Ballance, Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali and Jos Buttler throughout the order, have yet to face a frontline leg-spinner in Tests but that will change when Bishoo returns at the National Stadium in Grenada. West Indies cricketer Devendra Bishoo will play against England in the second Test . West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin confirmed that leg-spinner Bishoo will play on Tuesday . His record over 11 caps is modest, with 40 wickets at 39.55, but the 29-year-old comes into the game in place of the dropped Sulieman Benn in superb form. His last five first-class matches for Guyana have yielded a phenomenal 37 wickets with six wicket hauls against Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago and the Windward Islands. 'Bishoo will be in,' said Ramdin, when asked about his bowling line-up. West Indies captain Ramdin prepares for the second Test in the nets . 'The pitch will turn out to be better - in terms of spin - than the first Test in Antigua. He has bowled really well in first-class cricket in the last month and a half. 'In our squad's practice match he bowled long spells and got results. 'It's going to be a batting track for the first two days and then the fourth and five days, the spinner will come into play. 'With a leg-spinner you get bad balls and you get beauties. Hopefully he'll get a lot of beauties in this game.'

Summary: West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin confirmed Devendra Bishoo will play . Leg spinner Bishoo has 40 wickets for the West Indies in 11 Tests . England's batsmen have historically struggled with leg-spin .

The Balinese woman who hired hitmen to murder her Australian husband has told a court that she wanted to teach him a lesson because he refused to give her money or grant her a divorce. Noor Ellis admitted a role in the killing of her 60-year-old husband, businessman Robert Ellis, at their home in Bali last October. His body, with wrists and feet bound, was found wrapped in plastic, dumped in a ditch in a rice field near Sedang Village. Mrs Ellis faced court on Wednesday charged with the premeditated killing of her husband of 20 years, and explained that he was now 'in heaven'. Scroll down for video . British man Robert Kelvin Ellis (left), here with wife Noor Ellis (right) was found in a rice paddock with his throat cut in October 2014 . Mrs Ellis told Judge Beslin Sihombing that her husband died 'Because of the order from me'. The Balinese national, who has two sons with her late husband, was arrested along with seven other people, including the couple's two former maids and the boyfriend of one of the maids. 'For a long time he hadn't given me sufficient (money), (he) even took the money for my kids' schooling,' Mrs Ellis told the court. 'Because his attitude didn't change, I couldn't stand it anymore. Once I asked for divorce but he didn't want to,' she said. 'He said we should just go on, in our own way.' 23-year-old Urbanus Yohanes Ghoghi, who slit Mr Ellis's throat, told the court on Wednesday in graphic detail of the roles he and four other men played in the killing. Noor Ellis gave one of the men, Martin, a towel and a pillow, and asked his 'help to teach a lesson'. The men first tried to suffocate him, but when their victim fought back, Martin handed him the kitchen knife he used to slash his throat.

It was then split, Rp 10 million each,' he said. 'Martin also said to us that tomorrow, there will be more.' In early January police reportedly handed a brief of evidence to prosecutors which claimed the victim’s wife paid hit-men 150 million rupiah, or $14,200 AUD, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Real estate heir and suspected murderer Robert Durst has sent a bizarre letter to a reporter that shares no details about his alleged crime, but observations about life in Los Angeles. Molly Hennessey-Fiske, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times who has been covering proceedings against Durst, 71, after his mid-March arrest in Louisiana, received a letter purporting to have been written by the suspect in state prison. The letter, post-marked April 1st in Baton Rouge, specifically states that Durst 'said nothing about charges, crimes or trials' but rambles on about Durst's thoughts on life in southern California. Dick DeGuerin, Durst's lead attorney, said that the letter looked like his client's handwriting. Murder suspect Robert Durst has sent a bizarre letter, in which he mentions his taste for opera and pro football, to a Los Angeles Times reporter covering his case. Molly Hennessey-Fiske received the letter, which was addressed 'Hiya Holly' from a man purporting to be Robert Durst at a Louisiana state prison . Durst, who was arrested for the 2000 murder of his friend Susan Berman last month, pleaded not guilty to weapons charges on Thursday. Above, he is escorted to prison after his arraignment on March 17 . Hennessey-Fiske, a veteran reporter for the West Coast newspaper, is the outlet's Houston bureau chief and has been covering Durst's legal proceeding . 'Bob is his own person and he’s writing letters to people. As long as they’re not discussing the facts or legal plans or strategy, I don’t have any problem with it,' Mr DeGuerin told The Los Angeles Times. Durst, who was heir to a vast real estate empire before becoming estranged from his family, was arrested last month for the suspected 2000 murder of his friend, writer Susan Berman, in Los Angeles. His letter to Hennessey-Fiske, her paper's Houston bureau chief, does not speak about on his impending extradition to California, but touches on various topics of conversation related to Los Angeles. In sloppy handwritten text with grammar mistakes, Durst spoke about places he lived in the city 'part-time' from 2008 to 2011. He said he 'hated LA traffic, which makes Houston look like a small town' before going on to say that his interests are 'opera and pro football'. Durst began the letter with an apparent mixing up of Hennesey-Fiske's first name by writing 'Hiya Holly'. Hiya Holly, . I used to read your biline, from 2008-2011 I lived part time in L.A., I had a great apt in 1100 Alta Loma and I had bought a great apt complex on Brynhurst. Sareb Kaufman was my broker. I loved watching the traffic come up La Cienaga and mush into Santa Monica, hated L.A. traffic which makes Houston seem like a small town. Used to breakfast at coffee whatever on Sunset. My interests are opera and pro football. Your politicos and business leaders have chosen to fight rather than agree to disagree and there was no football. Like L.A. Opera except for Wagner's ring cycle with the absurd costumes and sloped stage, a true example of Hollywood gone

Summary: Molly Hennessey-Fiske, Los Angeles Times reporter, received letter . Messages supposedly sent from Durst at Louisiana prison . Murder suspect discusses his time in LA and the problems of traffic . Durst blames 'politicos and business leaders' for city's lack of pro football . Lawyer says it looks like his client's handwriting, but it is different from 'cadaver' letter after murder of Susan Berman, of which Durst is accused .


Just 8p in every £10 spent looking after dementia patients goes on research into the causes, shocking figures reveal. The outlay on stroke research is little better, with 19p allocated from each £10 spent on the health and social needs of patients. A study says the amount spent by the Government and charities studying dementia and strokes is ‘still way too low’. Just 11 per cent of research funding from he Government and charities into the UK’s leading causes of death and disability was allocated to dementia, research has found . Despite extra cash pumped into the two diseases recently by government bodies, they remain underfunded given the economic and personal impact felt by millions of sufferers and their families, say researchers. In comparison to cancer and coronary heart disease they are still poor relations, according to calculations by Oxford University academics. The amount spent on cancer research is around 13 times higher than dementia, and almost six times more than stroke. The spend on heart disease is eight times that of dementia and triple the amount spent on stroke research, says the study published in the online journal BMJ Open. Researchers assessed central government and charity research expenditure in 2012 into the UK’s leading causes of death and disability – cancer, coronary heart disease, dementia and stroke which together accounted for over half of all deaths. The combined amount of research funding allocated by the Government and charities to the four conditions came to £856million in 2012, almost two-thirds of which was allocated to cancer. Around one-fifth was devoted to coronary heart disease, while just 11 per cent was allocated to dementia and 7 per cent to stroke research. The study found a significant shift in funding since 2008, particularly after a commitment by the Coalition to new money for dementia research. But the sums allocated by charities have scarcely budged since 2008, possibly because they rely on public donations which may be affected by ‘a form of ageism’ where dementia and stroke are seen as inevitable only in the elderly. Research leader Professor Alastair Gray, of the Health Economic Research Centre at the Nuffield Department of Population Health, Oxford University, said overall research funding has not been cut but priorities had shifted. Almost two-thirds of research funding allocated by to the four conditions was allocated to cancer . Overall research spending by government bodies went up 20 per cent over the period, but there was a change in diseases that benefited. In 2012, £157million was spent on cancer research by government bodies, down from £267million in 2008. Prof Gray said: ‘There was increasing recognition that expenditure on dementia should rise and this was reflected in the Coalition agreement. ‘As a consequence less was spent on cancer because of the increasing emphasis on dementia and stroke, but these areas remain underfunded when compared with the burden of disease.’ He said research funding was ‘still way too low’ in both diseases, especially for stroke. There are at least 800,000 dementia patients and 1.2million stroke victims needing health and social care each year

Summary: Just 11 per cent of research funding is allocated to dementia . Money comes from both the British Government and charities . Almost two-thirds research funding was allocated to cancer .

A coroner has warned of the dangers of bedside cots after a seven-week-old baby choked to death. Grace Joy Roseman died after she managed to manoeuvre herself over the edge of her crib and a ‘safety ridge’ cut off the oxygen to her brain. West Sussex coroner Penelope Schofield yesterday issued a report expressing concern over the Bednest Bedside cot, which was endorsed by the charity National Children’s Trust, saying urgent action must be taken to prevent future deaths. Tragic: Seven-week-old Grace Joy Roseman died after she managed to move over the edge of her adjustable cot and a 'safety' ridge cut off oxygen supply to her brain, West Sussex Coroner's Court heard . Concerns: The webpage of the luxury cot which has been linked with her death. A coroner has called for the 'dangerous' cot to be pulled from the shelves after the newborn baby girl was strangled . Grace’s mother Esther put her down for a nap at around 8.30am on April 9. The cot – which is designed to be placed next to a parent’s bed – has a moveable panel on one side which can be folded down, leaving a ridge just 7cm high. Mrs Roseman returned about 90 minutes later to find Grace unresponsive, lying with her head over the edge of the cot. The provisional cause of death was given as asphyxia, caused by the ridge cutting off the oxygen supply from Grace’s windpipe. In her report, Mrs Schofield listed a number of concerns surrounding the cot. She said: ‘In my opinion urgent action should be taken to prevent future deaths ... should another baby be placed in the prone position and left with the side incompletely lowered again in one of these cots, another death could occur. 'If the cot’s side is not safe to be incompletely lowered or for the cot to be tilted more than 5cms then it should be questioned as to whether these should be options available at all.’ Grace’s father Gideon, who lives with his wife in Haywards Heath, West Sussex, said: ‘There are no words that can describe how we feel about the loss of our beautiful little Gracie. Grace's parents told the inquest 'We are eternally grateful to the doctors and nurses at the Princess Royal Hospital in Haywards Heath (pictured), who did everything possible to try and save our little Gracie' ‘She was just starting to develop her own little personality and was always smiling. We would not wish any parent to have to go through such a devastating loss.’ The National Children’s Trust has pulled the cot from sale and stopped all pending orders going out. Susie Parsons, interim chief executive of the charity, said: ‘This is a tragedy and our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the Roseman family at this time. ‘We have immediately suspended all sales and despatches of the Bednest crib until the completion of the inquiry and we will also undertake our own detailed and thorough review.’ Bednest, which is based in Stratford-upon-Avon, is still selling the cribs on their website

Nearly 15 years ago an amazing story emerged of how a young Japanese woman had travelled half-way across the world to try and find a suitcase stuffed with $1m dollars that had been buried in the snow. It was claimed that Takako Konishi had believed the film Fargo was real - after all the hit movie begins with the words 'This is a true story - when she was found dead in a mini-skirt and high-heeled boots in the frozen wastes of Minnesota just days after arriving. This was all confirmed by a police officer from the small town of Detroit Lakes, who said he had spoken to the 28-year-old shortly after she turned up. He said she kept repeating the words 'Fargo, Fargo'. Scroll down for video . Rinko Kikuchi as Takako Konishi in the new film Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter, which tells the story of how the young Japanese woman went searching for a suitcase of cash which had been buried in the film Fargo . According to the film, Takako froze to death searching for the $1 million stash buried in the snow by Steve Buscemi's hapless criminal (pictured) in the Coen Brothers' fictional 1996 film . Fargo was shot in the frozen wastes around the North Dakota town not far from where Takako died . But it turns out that it was all a simple misunderstanding between a small town cop and the woman from Tokyo who could not speak English. Now Takako's incredible story has been made into a film of its own - Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter - newly released by American filmmakers, and brothers, David and Nathan Zellner - that dramatizes the myth of her journey and sad end. What is certain is that Takako's body was found by a hunter in some woodland near Detroit Lakes, a town in Minnesota some 50 miles east of the real town of Fargo, in the neighbouring state of North Dakota, in November 2001. But she didn't die in search of the cash buried in front of a roadside fence under the snow by Steve Buscemi's character in the 1996 Coen brothers film. Paul Berczeller, a New Yorker based in London who in 2003 released his own documentary about Takako, This is a True Story, travelled to the area in the midwest region of the US to find out what really happened. The short film comprises a series of stills in which actress Mimi Ohmori plays Takako and the actual cops involved, Jesse Heliman and Steve Kilde, play themselves. Berczeller told MailOnline: 'The Coen brothers started it really by putting the line "This is a true story" at the start of Fargo.
