Arsene Wenger says something must be done to solve the fixture scheduling mess which means Arsenal's FA Cup semi-final will clash with a key Premier League title game. Arsenal will take on Reading on Saturday evening as league leaders Chelsea take on Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. The Gunners boss also branded rumours that he will be replaced by Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp as 'ridiculous', after the German announced he will be leaving the club this summer.

Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp oversees training on Thursday ahead of this weekend's match . On TV scheduling, Wenger said: 'Something should be done. I'm surprised they don't analyse it in the TV deals. I'm surprised a game of the same stature is played at the same time. There's a little conflict there. It's difficult to understand.' 'We would like it to be a unique competition that's played, especially a semi-final or final and don't want it to be conflicting with other competitions. It's a very big game (at Chelsea). It's a surprise to me.' Wenger admits a United win at Chelsea could open up the title race again. 'Mathematically yes,' he said. 'But we have to keep winning.' Klopp confirmed on Wednesday his intention to leave Dortmund at the end of the season after seven years in which the club won two Bundesliga titles and reached the Champions League final. It sparked a frenzy of speculation about whether the charismatic 47-year-old might be destined for England with Arsenal or Manchester City, where manager Manuel Pellegrini is feeling the heat after a poor run of form. Wenger hit out at the TV scheduling as Manchester United's trip to Chelsea clashes with the semi-final . Wenger has branded the 'circus' around Jurgen Klopp's resignation as 'ridiculous' 'I'm not an agency to place managers,' said Wenger, when asked about Klopp's announcement. 'I like every manager and respect, everybody. I find that circus a bit ridiculous. 'It's down to every club to make the right decision and to respect Dortmund. Dortmund is a massive club and will survive, they have the ability to keep their best players. They have a big history linked with great results and great achievements so I don't think that will stop for Dortmund.' Arsenal will have Jack Wilshere available for the semi-final against Reading, as he trained on Thursday with the club at their base. Wojciech Szczesny will start in the tie, and was also put through his paces during Arsenal's training session. The Gunners boss says his team have learned from last season, when they fell behind at this stage

Summary: Arsenal play Reading in FA Cup semi-final on Saturday evening . Chelsea kick off against Manchester United 10 minutes later . Wenger says 'something should be done' and 'it is difficult to understand' Arsenal manager also brands circus around Jurgen Klopp 'ridiculous' Klopp announce on Wednesday he will leave Dortmund this summer .

NSW police have been left stunned after coming across the above car covered in chili peppers on the side of a busy road . 'He's been doing this for years.... he lives in one of the units in Bridge Road. Parks outside my unit block (Cnr Albert & Bridge) for some reason. Sometimes he puts it out on the grass on a tarp.' one commenter said. NSW Police also shared the image with the caption 'The heat is on', leading many to question what the car owner's offence actually was. While Daily Mail Australia has contacted NSW Police for comment, a spokesperson said it may well be one of the weird and wacky things sighted by highway patrol cars on the road.

Andrea Yates' ex-husband has condemned the criminal process the killer was put through 14 years after she drowned their five children in the bathtub of their suburban Texas home. Russell 'Rusty' Yates, who has since remarried and has a son, slammed his ex-wife's murder trial, claiming it was the 'cruelest thing he had ever witnessed'. He insisted her actions were 'completely a result of her illness' and maintains she was a good mother who loved her children. The mother from Clear Lake, Texas, systematically drowned Noah, 7; John, 5; Paul, 3; Luke 2; and Mary, 6 months, in their home in June 2001. Andrea Yates' ex-husband Rusty (left), who has since remarried and has a five-year-old son, slammed her murder trial (pictured right in 2002) as the 'cruelest thing I have ever witnessed' The Yates' boys, from left: Paul, three, John, five, Noah, seven, and Luke, two, dressed up for Halloween the year before they were drowned in the bathtub by their mother . Six-months-old Mary Yates, killed by her mother along with her four older brothers. Andrea Yates was said to be suffering from postpartum depression when she drowned her children in 2001 . She then called 911 and told the first officer to arrive at the scene that she had just killed her children. Earlier that day she fed the children breakfast and said goodbye to her husband as he left for work. She was convicted of capital murder in 2002 and sentenced to life in prison, after prosecutors tried and failed to get the death penalty. But an appeals court granted her a retrial and in 2006 she was found not guilty by reason of insanity and moved to a mental health facility. Yates had been diagnosed with postpartum psychosis - the most severe and rarest form of postpartum depression. Little was known about it at the time and most afflicted mothers were left to suffer in silence. Her condition was a cause of huge pain for Mr Lake, who has revealed he still cares for his wife and visits her - even though they divorced in 2005. Speaking on Oprah's Where Are They Now, Mr Yates said: 'This [was a] mentally ill woman -- who otherwise loves her children, was a great mother, was a great person -- and they're going to sit her in trial? Try to kill her? The first trial, where prosecutors sought the death penalty, was hard on Mr Yates. The Yates family portrait (before baby Mary was born), left, and husband Russell 'Rusty' Yates outside his home the day after his children were murdered. Almost 14 years after the deaths, he maintains his ex-wife was a good mother who loved her children . Mr Yates married Laura Arnold, a woman he met at a church in Clear Lake, during a private ceremony in 2006, two days before his ex-wife's murder re-trial . He added: ''They spent a week showing pictures of our children's dead bodies in front of a jury, in front of her. 'I mean, from my perspective, that's the cruelest thing...

Jonathan Trott has admitted that he thought his England career was over after he reached 'breaking point' in Brisbane and was forced to quit the last Ashes tour. Trott was forced to head home to an uncertain future after his ordeal at the hands of Mitchell Johnson in the first Ashes Test but has battled back to be on the brink of making his 50th Test appearance against West Indies on Monday. 'To be brutally honest I didn't know if I'd be able to come back here and I didn't know if I was going to be selected but I had to get my head down and push my case forward and that's all I could do. I'm really glad to be here,' said a relaxed Trott before England headed to Antigua on Friday. Jonathan Trott is set to make his 50th Test appearance for England against the West Indies on Monday . 'There's excitement. It's something I wanted again but I didn't know if things would go my way again and I'd have this opportunity. I'm very pleased and happy to be here. There's a good bunch of guys here but on a personal note this is just the start of something I want to keep doing and earn my place back.' Trott looks certain to adopt a new role as opener alongside Alastair Cook at the start of a series England cannot afford to lose after battling back in county cricket with Warwickshire and then as captain of the Lions. 'That's all I've done so far. I went back to Warwickshire and earned my place in their side and then went on a Lions tour and I think I had to do that for myself and for everyone around me. It's important to have the mentality of coming here and trying to earn a spot in the starting XI. That's my goal. 'The guys have been really good. The team's changed a bit so there are guys I haven't played with and a few guys I played on the Lions tour with which is great. It was nice to go on that tour and see the players coming through there. To captain the Lions and go away with them was quite an eye opener and I really enjoyed it. It's good to see those guys putting their case forward.' Trott leaves the field following his dismissal during a warm-up match in St Kitts on Thursday . Trott believes that his Brisbane breakdown was the culmination of problems that were eventually successfully diagnosed as situational anxiety when he began working with renowned sports psychologist Steve Peters. 'It wasn't so much Brisbane it was more of a lead up to it. The whole months leading up to it, even in England, were really tough and Brisbane was the culmination, a breaking point if you like, and it was interesting to step back and look at the things that have happened since. You hope it's something you will never have to go through but it makes you a stronger person. It was a

Summary: Jonathan Trott is on the verge of winning his 50th Test cap on Monday . Trott is set to open alongside Alastair Cook against the West Indies . Trott is set for his first Test appearance since the 2013 Ashes series . The Warwickshire batsman left the tour due to a stress-related condition . Trott had struggled to deal with Australia bowler Mitchell Johnson .


It will not worry Andy Murray one iota that his victory over Tomas Berdych on Friday night may have lacked the drama or controversy that accompanied their Australian Open semi-final in January. Instead the world No 4 – next week to be world No 3 – was all business as he produced a performance of clinical excellence to take down the powerful Czech 6-4 6-4 in an hour and 42 minutes. He is through to Sunday's final of the Miami Open where the Scot will face his growing nemesis, Novak Djokovic after he dispatched John Isner in straight sets. Andy Murray reacts as he reaches the Miami Open final with a 6-4, 6-4 win over Tomas Berdych . Murray reacts after winning the final point before shaking hands with Berdych as he heads into the final . The Czech Republic star could not contend with Murray's selection of shot making in Florida . It will be Murray’s first Masters level final since he won the title in what is his home from home two years ago. That fact backs up the belief that he is returning to the kind of form last seen from him in the first half of 2013, which led to him winning the Wimbledon title. Since then there has been back surgery, a new coach in Amelie Mauresmo and a revamped support team and all manner of setbacks. But a Grand Slam final, making the last four of Indian Wells and now the final here tells the story of his improvement this season. Occasionally there have been periods of wandering concentration in the past week but his mind was very focussed. It may have helped that ex assistant coach Dani Vallverdu was sitting in Berdych’s corner accompanied by ex-fitness coach Jez Green, who is now also working with the Czech. But there was none of the highly-charged atmosphere of that night in Melbourne. Kim Sears, who he is marrying next week, kept a much lower profile this time, hidden beneath the wide-peaked straw hat protecting her from the fierce Florida sun. The 27-year-old was in clinical form as he set up a final showdown with Novak Djokovic . There is no love lost between Murray and Berdych, especially after this year's Australian Open semi-final . Murray was annoyed after Berdych asked for one of the balls to be taken out of play during the first set . Both players thought it necessary to question the umpire as events unfolded in the first set . Berdych questions the chair umpire following an overruled call at the Masters 1000 evnt . Murray and his close friend Vallverdu have now regained the equilibrium in their relationship, but the Scot admitted afterwards that there are still extraneous factors with him playing Berdych, who he does not especially like. “It was different from then (Melbourne) for sure, but it was still not easy even if it appears that way,” he said. “It’s still a bit tricky and not a comfortable situation. I’m quite pleased with the way I have handled the emotions in

Summary: British No 1 defeated Tomas Berdych 6-4, 6-4 to reach Miami Open final . There's no love lost between the pair after controversy at Australian Open . Dani Valverdu and Jez Green switched from Murray's team to the Czech's . Brit will play Novak Djokovic in the final on Sunday .


The U.S. put the first man on the moon, but in a strange twist of history it appears the Russians may have beat America in settling Oregon. Experts proposed this new theory in a recently released 200-page report on the Molalla Log Cabin, a structure they believe could have been built as early as 1795 - ten years before Lewis and Clark reached the Pacific Ocean. Historic building repairer Gregg Olson and architectural historian Pam Hayden have been analyzing the log cabin for seven years and say it is unlike anything else found in Oregon. Secrets hidden in wood: Experts believe the Molalla Log House (above) was constructed as early as 1795 - a decade before Lewis and Clark reached the Pacific Ocean . One of a kind: The construction of the log cabin is unlike pioneer building methods at the time - suggesting it was instead made by foreigners . Russians in America: Historic building repairer Gregg Olson and architectural historian Pam Hayden believe the house could have been used by a small settlement of Russians sent to the Willamette Valley as farmers to feed fur traders in Alaska . Passion project: Gregg Olson (pictured), of Historic Building Repair, has spend seven years working on the Molalla Log Cabin . The cabin's intricate construction is not consistent with pioneer building methods, suggesting it was created by foreigners, and more specifically Russians. The way the logs are tightly interwoven, secured without nails and leaving no gaps to fill, is similar to Russian log cabins of the same time period, when Catherine the Great was sending envoys to Alaska to boost the fur trade. Olson and Hayden hypothesize that the 18-foot-wide cabin could have been a home for a small group of 10 to 50 Russian settlers sent to Oregon's Willamette Valley as farmers to feed the fur trappers on Alaska's Kodiak Island. Looking for a home: Above, a view of the cabin before its roof collapsed and it was moved indoors in 2008. Olson and Hayden are currently trying to find a permanent place to house the cabin . The first mobile home: Olson discovered that the original builders of the cabin wrote numbers into the boards, so that the structure could be disassembled and reassembled . Expert craftsmanship: The boards fit perfectly together so that nothing is needed to fill in the gaps and winterize the structure for winter . Many uses: Throughout its storied life, the Molalla Log Cabin has been used as a home, animal shelter, machine shed and granary . Preserved: The structure was made a historical landmark in 1991 and moved in doors in 2007 when the wood was starting to succumb to the elements . Current home: Above, the structure as it sits today in a storage facility where Olson has been working to preserve the cabin . 'The unique construction and extraordinary craftsmanship of the Molalla Log House offer fascinating clues to a mystery that we didn't even know existed about the earliest white exploration and settlement of the Pacific Northwest,' Peggy Moretti, executive director

Summary: New report says Molalla Log Cabin could have been built as early as 1795 . Lewis and Clark reached the Pacific Ocean in 1805 . The construction of the log cabin is not representative of pioneer building methods at the time - suggesting it was made by foreigners . Report's authors propose the cabin could have been used by Russian settlers farming in the area to support fur traders in Alaska .

Any defender who saw Jack Grealish glide around the Wembley turf with composure beyond his years should think twice before deciding that kicking him off the pitch is the way to limit his effectiveness. Between the ages of 10 and 14, Grealish played Gaelic football to a high standard, even appearing at Croke Park five years ago in a match during half-time of a Dublin v Kerry senior game. On his debut for John Mitchels, a GAA club in Warwickshire, he received a mighty blow and appealed to the referee. ‘This isn’t soccer, Jack,’ he was told without pity.

A German former police officer who dismembered a willing victim he met on a website for cannibal fetishists was today sentenced to eight years and six months in prison. Detlef Guenzel chopped Polish-born Wojciech Stempniewicz into small pieces while listening to pop music before burying them in the garden of his home in Hartmannsdorf-Reichenau in 2013. 'He was found guilty of murder and disturbing the peace of the dead,' said presiding judge Birgit Wiegand at the regional court in the eastern city of Dresden. State attorneys had sought 10 and a half years in prison for the defendant, a trim, soft-spoken father of three whom neighbours described as friendly, generous and unfailingly polite. Lawyers representing the family of Stempniewicz, 59, had requested a 15-year sentence, usually the maximum in a murder case. But prosecutors said they stopped short of this demand because Stempniewicz said he wanted to die. Macabre: Former German police officer Detlev Guenzel smirks in court before being sentenced to eight years and six months in jail for killing a willing victim he met on a website for cannibalism fetishists . Deranged: Guenzel, 57, went on trial in August over the killing of Polish-born business consultant Wojciech Stempniewicz whose body he had cut into small pieces and buried them in his garden . The defendant sat impassively with arms folded as the verdict was read out. The men came across each other in October 2013 on a website for slaughter and cannibalism fantasies billed as the '#1 site for exotic meat' and boasting more than 3,000 registered members. The two kept in contact via email, text message and telephone before finally arranging the fatal date for November 4 that year. Gunezel picked Stempniewicz up at Dresden's main railway station and drove him back to his house in Hartmannsdorf-Reichenau which he ran as a bed and breakfast with his male partner. Prosecutors said Gunezel then took his victim to the basement where he strangled him using a rope tied to a pulley before chopping the corpse up into small pieces. A video reportedly shows Guenzel in his underwear slicing the naked body of his victim into pieces while it hangs from a hook. The back garden of Guenzel's home in Hartmannsdorf-Reichenau where the body parts were buried in 2013 . Described as 'absolutely horrific' and 'beyond belief' by lawyers, the 50-minute tape features Guenzel dismembering the corpse while pop music plays. At one point he stops to listen for a heartbeat before continuing. However the defence team argue that the video shows Stempniewicz had his feet in constant contact with the ground, meaning he could have stopped the strangulation if he had wanted to. They claimed the video, which was shown to judges behind closed doors, proves the victim hanged himself. Gunezel then spent a total of four hours cutting the body up with a knife and saw, before burying it in shallow holes the garden. Policemen search for evidences in the area where body parts were found in Reichenau near Dresden in 2013 . Officers traced him via computer messages

'A family tragedy': Mahendra Bavishi in Khartoum . The joint director of the safe deposit company robbed in the £60million Hatton Garden gem heist said yesterday that he believes it was an inside job. Mahendra Bavishi, who lives in Sudan, said detectives have asked to put some ‘sensitive’ questions to his British-based son who runs the business, including whether he suspects someone connected to the company or other firms in the same premises had links with criminal gangs. And he said the robbers almost certainly had some inside information because they appeared to know that several CCTV cameras in the building where his firm is based were not working when they broke in. Speaking for the first time about the crime Mr Bavishi, 69, also told of his fury at police for ignoring an alert from a state of the art alarm in the vault while the gang were forcing their way into 72 safe deposit boxes during the Easter holiday. He described the robbery as a ‘tragedy’ for his family after the business had just started to make a small profit following years of losses. Mr Bavishi is a joint director of Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Ltd with eldest son Manish Bavishi, who lives in Kenton, north-west London, and usually runs the business full-time. But when the robbery happened Manish, 38, was on a month-long holiday with his wife and child in Sudan. In his absence, the business was being managed by younger brother Alok, 29. Their downcast father told the Daily Mail: ‘To many this robbery is like something out of a Hollywood fiction film, but to my family it is a tragedy. It is the end of the business my son has worked so hard to build slowly over the last seven years. ‘It was making a loss when he bought it and only first made a profit last year, and even then it was very little. Before then we were relying on loans from banks as we worked to make it a success. Now the business is finished. Who will trust their valuables with us after this?’ Scroll down for video . Caught on CCTV: One of the raiders. Mr Bavisihi said robbers almost certainly had some inside information . It is estimated that anything from £60million to £200million of jewellery and cash was removed from the company’s vaults in London’s diamond district. Mr Bavishi was in China on unrelated business when news broke about the robbery, but rushed back to Sudan to be with his eldest son who was himself frantically trying to arrange a return from Khartoum to the UK with his family, which took several days. He said: ‘The police called Manish on his phone in Sudan to tell him what happened and said we want you to come back to London because there are sensitive issues we want to talk to you about. ‘They told him they wanted to ask him questions that only he could answer about the business. The police want to know from Manish if he suspects someone inside who could

AP McCoy landed the second win of his last Aintree meeting thanks to a trainer he will be praying doesn’t win Saturday's Crabbie’s Grand National. Irishman Gordon Elliott trains Cause of Causes, a gelding owned by McCoy’s boss JP McManus and one of the mounts he could have taken in the race instead of Shutthefrontdoor. McCoy won on board Elliott’s Don Cossack, who took apart a strong Melling Chase field with a 26-length defeat of Cue Card. AP McCoy celebrates after winning the Melling Chase race at Aintree on Friday . McCoy rode Don Cossack to victory as he prepares for his final Grand National on Saturday . Afterwards, Elliott, enjoying his third winner of the meeting and the man who trained 2007 National winner Silver Birch, preferred to concentrate on Don Cossack’s win rather than the National jockey arrangements. Elliott, who has booked Paul Carberry to ride Cause of Causes, said: ‘We have got Paul which is good but if we had AP it would have been twice as good. ‘They make their decisions and we will enjoy today and worry about tomorrow tomorrow.’ A dramatic race saw Balder Succes fall at the third fence and Sire De Grugy come down at the sixth. McCoy settled the matter with a decisive move entering the home straight. Don Cossack’s only defeat in six runs this season came when he did not show his best and ended up third to Uxizandre in the Ryanair Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.

Elliott added: ‘Two years ago I said he was the best horse we have ever had. We had a bad season with him but he has proven how good he is. It will be the Gold Cup next season.’ McCoy’s penultimate ride over the Grand National fences ended in disappointment when Eastlake was pulled up in an action-packed Topham Chase in which only 10 of the 30 starters completed. Success went to Nicky Henderson’s Rajdhani Express, who overhauled long-time leader Fairy Rath after the last. It was a sixth win in races over the famous Aintree fences for amateur jockey Sam Waley-Cohen, who rides Oscar Time in today’s big race. Meanwhile, also Gold Cup-bound next season is Paul Nicholls-trained Saphir Du Rheu, 15-length winner of the Grade One Betfred Mildmay Novices’ Chase under Sam Twiston-Davies. Twenty four hours earlier, a second consecutive success for Silviniaco Conti in Thursday’s Betfred Bowl, along with the fact that the gelding has been beaten three times in the Gold Cup, had left Nicholls feeling he did not have a contender for next season but all that has changed now. Nicholls said: ‘After yesterday, I didn’t think we had a Gold Cup horse but we definitely do now. This is a very special horse.’ The day for jockey Brian Hughes had started badly when he took a fall from a hunter while

Five Afghan men were found hiding in the back of a refrigerated lorry after travelling 200 miles across Britain. It is thought the migrants had climbed into the British-registered truck in Belgium before crossing the channel and entering the UK illegally. Police sniffer dogs were used to find them after officers opened the truck's back doors on the A40 near Churcham, Gloucestershire. A group of Afghan men discovered crammed in a refrigerated lorry in Gloucestershire are removed by police . Photos taken by officers show the tiny space the men had climbed into between crates in the packed trailer of the HGV. Gloucestershire police tweeted photos of the moment the men were brought out of the lorry this morning. They tweeted: '[Police dog] Max & his handler assisting on the A40 at Churcham. 5 stowaways on board from Afghanistan. '1 of the 5 men from the refrigerated HGV on the A40 at Churcham. Possibly climbed in in Belgium.' The men were found a week after an illegal camp of migrants was cleared in Calais, the French port closest to Britain. It is believed the men boarded the lorry in Belgium before crossing the channel and travelling across Britain . Sniffer dog Max helped find the men, who had wrapped themselves up in hats and scalves in the cold . Around 200 people were thought to have been living in a sports hall but were told to move on or face arrest by French authorities. The port's outspoken mayor has already blamed Britain's benefits system for attracting the migrants, thousands of whom have massed in Calais waiting for an opportunity to sneak into lorries, cars or caravans and enter Britain. Eleven suspected illegal immigrants were arrested last week after they were seen clinging to a moving lorry last week. The group, believed to be from Syria, were arrested on the M20 motorway near Folkestone, Kent, on suspicion of illegal entry into Britain after they were seen riding on top of the vehicle by a fellow driver. It is the latest in a series of similar incidents after French authorities began dealing with huge numbers of migrants who have set up camp in Calais and are desperate to reach Britain .

A Labour politician who stood against Britain’s first elected Muslim mayor has won a High Court battle over claims that he was a ‘wife beater’. Helal Abbas, 55, lost his bid to become the mayor of Tower Hamlets in East London days after the claim appeared in an ethnic freesheet. The race was won by Lutfur Rahman, 50, a controversial figure who has been accused in a separate High Court case of rigging his re-election victory last year. Mr Rahman denies those charges. Helal Abbas, 55, lost his bid to become the mayor of Tower Hamlets in East London days after the claim appeared in an ethnic freesheet . During the 2010 campaign, the London Bangla ran an advert accusing Mr Abbas of assaulting his ex-wife. An article accompanying the advert was headlined A Right Mayoral Punch-Up. The weekly freesheet – written in Bengali and English – was a fierce supporter of Mr Rahman and was distributed outside mosques in the area. Mr Abbas lost the election by 12,000 votes. The victory by Mr Rahman – a former Labour councillor who stood as an independent after he was thrown out of the party over alleged links to Islamists – was seen as an embarrassment for Ed Miliband. The race was won by Lutfur Rahman, 50, a controversial figure who has been accused in a separate High Court case of rigging his re-election victory last year . Mr Abbas started court proceedings against London Bangla’s editor, Shah Yousuf, 35, soon after the election. After a four-year legal battle, Mr Yousuf has admitted there was ‘no truth to the allegation’ and has agreed to pay damages and legal costs. When The Mail on Sunday contacted Mr Yousuf, he asked for all questions to be emailed to him, which we did. However, he then refused to answer them.

The family of a former art teacher who died from lung cancer after years of pinning pupils' work to classroom walls lined with asbestos has taken legal action against the local council. Jennifer Barnett worked Archway School in Stroud, Gloucestershire, between 1980 and 1997, when she left teaching to have her fourth child. The 60-year-old died last September, 14 months after she was diagnosed with mesothelioma - a cancer whose most common cause is asbestos. Loved: Jennifer Barnett worked Archway School in Stroud, Gloucestershire, between 1980 and 1997, when she left teaching to have her fourth child. Above, the mother-of-four with her husband and children . Her husband, Nigel, told an inquest into her death in January that his wife had to cut sheets of asbestos while working on a farm in her 20s. 'She then became an art teacher and from 1977 until 1995 worked at various schools, often hanging paintings on walls containing asbestos,' he added. The coroner, Katy Skerrett, recorded a verdict of death as a result of industrial disease. A post-mortem found a large tumour in her right lung. Ms Skerrett said: 'It is clear that there was sufficient exposure to asbestos in her occupation for me to reach a conclusion that this lady died from an industrial disease.' Mr Barnett and his family believe the asbestos in the school is to blame for Mrs Barnett's death and are now taking legal action against Gloucestershire County Council. In a statement released this week, Mr Barnett said that during her time as a teacher, his wife also did clay modelling with pupils and the cupboard where the clay was stored also contained asbestos. He said: 'Jen was a fantastic wife and a wonderful mother to our four children. She was so precious to us and it is hard to believe she's gone. 'Prior to her illness, she was a very fit and healthy 60-year old who enjoyed playing tennis in her spare time and was a dedicated and extremely talented artist who continued to work right up until her death. 'Our youngest daughter was only 18 when her mum passed away and was just about to start university. 'The whole family misses her dreadfully and we are all shocked and devastated that her life was cut short so suddenly.' Mrs Barnett worked at Archway School, where she was known as Miss Shonk, as an art teacher before being promoted head of the department. She left teaching aged 42 to have her youngest daughter, but continued to work as an artist. Her family said she remained positive during 'gruelling' chemotherapy treatment, but died the day after celebrating her 30th wedding anniversary, in September 2014. Dedicated: For 17 years, Mrs Barnett worked at Archway School, in Stroud, Gloucestershire, pictured, where she was known as Miss Shonk, as an art teacher before being promoted head of the department .

Bird numbers have dramatically declined in Fukushima, research has revealed. Scientists analysed 57 species in the region and found that the majority of populations had diminished as a result of the nuclear accident. They found that one breed in particular had plummeted from several hundred before the 2011 disaster to just a few dozen today. Researchers have found that bird species are continuing to drop in Fukushima (shown after the disaster in 2011). The barn swallow, for example, dropped from hundreds to dozens. This is despite radiation levels in the region starting to fall. And comparing it to Chernobyl could reveal what the future holds . The research, published in the Journal of Ornithology, was carried out by scientists at the University of South Carolina including biologist Dr Tim Mousseau. They showed that the situation has steadily worsened since the disaster on 11 March 2011. On that day, just over four years ago, Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was heavily damaged by an earthquake and its resultant tsunami. The Fukushima nuclear disaster was a failure at the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant on 11 March 2011. It was caused when the plant was hit by a tsunami, triggered by the 9.0 Tohoku earthquake. This led to three of the plant’s six nuclear reactors going into meltdown and releasing radioactive materials. Reports claim the soil and water in the region still contains high levels of radiation which makes the clean-up effort difficult. A total of 300,000 people evacuated the Fukushima area on the east coast and 15,884 people died due to the earthquake and tsunami. Many populations were found to have diminished in number as a result of the accident, with several species suffering dramatic declines. One of the most hard-hit species is the barn swallow, Hirundo rustica, which suffered large population losses due to radiation exposure. ‘We know that there were hundreds in a given area before the disaster, and just a couple of years later we're only able to find a few dozen left,’ said Dr Mousseau. ‘The declines have been really dramatic.’ And while background radiation has declined in the region in recent years, the negative effects of the accident on birds are actually increasing. ‘The relationship between radiation and numbers started off negative the first summer, but the strength of the relationship has actually increased each year,’ Dr Mousseau said. ‘So now we see this really striking drop-off in numbers of birds as well as numbers of species of birds. ‘So both the biodiversity and the abundance are showing dramatic impacts in these areas with higher radiation levels, even as the levels are declining.’ Dr Tim Mousseau and his team made the findings using thermoluminescent detectors, which use gamma-radiation-sensitive crystals (shown) to measure radiation doses in individual subjects living in the wild . One hard-hit species was the barn swallow (stock image shown), Hirundo rustica, which suffered large population losses due to radiation exposure . The team are hoping to get information on what the future holds for Fukushima from the Chernobyl site, which was the scene of

A Florida man believed to be high on Flakka, a designer drug stronger than crystal meth, attacked a police officer after being shocked with a Taser twice while claiming he was God, police said. Police were called after Kenneth Crowder, 41, was seen by a witness on Friday running naked through a neighborhood calling himself God. He was also spotted committing an undisclosed sex act on a tree. Crowder was arrested in Melbourne, facing charges of battery on a law-enforcement officer, resisting with violence, and assault with a deadly weapon on a law-enforcement officer. Kennth Crowder was arrested in Melbourne, Florida, on Friday after being spotted running naked through a neighborhood claiming he was God . When police arrived on scene, he had put on jeans and a T-shirt and walked toward the officer in an aggressive manner as he called himself God, police told WKMG. A police officer shocked him with a Taser twice, but each time he pulled the probes out of his body and attempted to fight the officer. The officer then punched Crowder in the face and he fought back, claiming he was Thor and attempting to stab the officer with his own police badge. More officers eventually came to the scene and helped handcuff and shackle Crowder. He was booked into Brevard County Jail Complex and later posted bond to be released. Flakka, which can be injected, snorted, smoked, swallowed or taken with other substances like marijuana, is usually made from the chemical alpha-PVP. That's the synthetic version of the stimulant cathinone, the same type of chemical that is used to make bath salts. Crowder was arrested on charges of battery on a law-enforcement officer, resisting with violence, and assault with a deadly weapon on a law-enforcement officer . Flakka resembles a mix of crack cocaine and meth and it has a noticeably foul smell, according to WPBF 25 News. Once ingested, the drug causes a feeling of euphoria, hallucinations and sometimes psychosis or apparent superhuman strength. The high lasts for a couple hours and users are left with a strong desire to use again. Users have nicknamed the drug '$5 insanity' because hits often cost less than $10, according to the Sun-Sentinel. There were more than 670 Flakka occurrences in Florida in 2014, up from 85 in 2012 and zero in 2010, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Marcus Copeland, 44, admitted one count of fraud at Caernarfon Crown Court. He was told he faces jail . A top mortgage broker who bragged that he ‘spared no expense’ to build his dream home is facing jail after conning a bank into giving him the money for it. Marcus Copeland, 44, splashed out almost £1million to complete the six- bedroomed eco house. He sourced specialist Scottish stone and installed the latest environmentally friendly technologies to make the house in Cwm Dyserth, near St Asaph, North Wales, one of the most ‘green’ new builds in the country. But yesterday it emerged that the married father-of-two’s dream had become a nightmare, after he admitted lying on mortgage forms to secure more than £800,000 for the property. At Caernarfon Crown Court the former journalist, who was once named best mortgage broker in the Midlands and Wales, admitted two counts of fraud by lying to Abbey National about the profitability of his business to secure the £847,000 loan in March 2007. At an earlier hearing, he also pleaded guilty to five charges of deception after he used his position to inflate the salaries of five of his clients and help them obtain mortgages totalling £686,000. Jonathan Austin, defending, said Copeland maintained that all the customers knew he had boosted their wages when making the applications. The barrister added that none of the loans had ever been defaulted upon. ‘All these mortgages proved to be affordable,’ the barrister said. ‘The obligations were met.’ Recorder Gregory Bull QC bailed Copeland, of Deganwy, Llandudno, for sentencing later this year. But he went on to warn him: ‘You are not to read anything into the likely sentence. Imprisonment remains an option.’ In November 2010 Copeland’s home was featured in an article for Homebuilding and Renovating magazine and described as the ‘quintessential self-build story – huge ambition matched by a hopelessly stretched budget, spiralling costs and immense stress.’ He and his wife Yvonne, 44, spent a year trying to persuade a farmer to sell them an elevated plot of land in the picturesque village in Denbighshire for £250,000, before spending another £750,000 on the build. Spread out over three storeys, the house features two double garages, a home office, an open-plan kitchen, a dining and sitting area, a TV room terrace and a roof garden, all cut into a hillside overlooking the rolling Welsh countryside. Talking about the project, Copeland told the magazine: ‘If I was to do it again, I’d control my spending. I fell in love with a stone from Scotland that I wanted for the exterior walls. ‘It cost a fortune and I’m not sure you can tell the difference compared with cheaper options. But this was our dream home, so I spared no expense.’ The couple sold the house in September 2012 for £925,000 but, following Copeland’s guilty plea, are now facing having to pay back any profit they have made via the Proceeds of Crime Act. The defendant ran Copeland Mortgage Services in Prestatyn, Denbighshire, and was named Best Mortgage Broker in the Midlands and

Summary: Marcus Copeland, 44, won a best mortgage broker award back in 2007 . He has previously boasted of building his dream £1million hillside home . But his double life as a fraudster has emerged after he appeared in court . Copeland admitted a count of fraud in 2007. He was told jail is an option .

The murder of Chloe, who was killed by Zbigniew Huminsk, sparked a national outpouring of grief in France . Chloe had been snatched from a French playground in front of her mother Isabelle Hyart's eyes by Zbigniew Huminsk, 38. The young girl was taken from outside her home after she playfully squirted him with a water pistol. Terror-stricken Miss Hyart had tried helplessly to reach her daughter but Huminsk bundled the girl into his car and drove her to woodland where he sexually assaulted and strangled her. He has since confessed to his crimes. Miss Hyart wept as her daughter was carried out after the ceremony and lovingly touched the small white coffin as it was taken down to the waiting hearse. The distraught mother was comforted by family and friends, including Chloe's father, who all said their final farewells to the young girl. Outside in the Spring sunshine, mourners of all generations stood in silence in tribute to the nine-year-old who was murdered and raped by Huminsk on April 15. This is the last picture of Chloe, taken on the same day she was abducted while she is seated in front of her family home . Schoolgirl killer Zbigniew Huminski (left) did not offer a word of remorse as he was indicted for the kidnap, rape and murder of Chloe (right) News of his appalling crime shocked the country and on Saturday more than 6,000 took to the streets of Calais on Saturday to form a quarter of a mile long 'White March' to pay tribute to Chloe. Many of those marching for Chloe were her friends at the Balzac Dance Club where last January she had performed in a show with them to raise money for the Red Cross, which helps migrants. Huminski has a long criminal record in France and Poland, including once attacking a frail woman of 78 with a knife in her home. The career criminal was sentenced to a year behind bars in March, but under the rules in Poland, he was supposed to take himself to jail. Instead, he hit the road for

The conditions were so icy at the time he slid into the opposite curb before coming to a stop. His green taxi struck and killed little Tierre Clark who was five. She was waiting with her mother at a bus stop when she was hit by the cab. WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES . Fatal blow: A store owner posted video that shows the moment a cab hits a pedestrian in the Bronx, killing him. The victim is seen in the red circle . Careening: Kadeem Brown, 25, can be seen sliding across the ice after being knocked over by a passing taxi . Shocking: Brown can be seen laying on the ground as horrified onlookers attempt to summon help . 'Accident happened at 170 and Grand Concourse in front of my bodega,' Facebook user Junior Papi Sanchez posted online. Police say Emilo Garcia, the 44-year-old driver, suffered a seizure moments before the crash on Friday evening. Despite the impact, he reportedly continued driving another 100 feet or so, before jumping a curb and crashing into the group waiting at the bus stop. He finally smashed into the side of a building. Mr Brown died at the scene, while the little girl who is not featured in the video died a short time later. Garcia has since had his TLC license taken away but has not been not been charged with any crime. Gone too soon: Kadeem Brown, 25, was killed . 'A state and city licensed driver has killed two people in broad daylight,' said Charles Komanoff of the safe street group Right of Way. 'The public has every right to demand that everything about the crash and the driver be dug up and made public.' A memorial service was held for Brown Wednesday evening at Mount Carmel Pentecostal Church, and he will be buried Thursday morning. Grieving relatives and friends of Brown posted memories of him on a fundraising page for his family. 'I always admired him, and said that's how our young men should act and carry themselves,' wrote his friend's aunt Tia Linder. 'He was destined for greatness, but God had a much higher calling for him. You can tell a person's true character by what others say about them when they are no longer here.' Another pal wrote that he was always the first friend to wish her a happy birthday. In heaven: Tierre Clarke, 5, was tragically killed on Friday, March 20th when a taxi jumped the curb while waiting for the bus with her mother . 'He was down to earth, and always gave an ear when needed,' wrote Renesha Barrett. 'I miss him already.' Little Tierre Clark died at Lincoln Hospital. 'She loved to sing and dance — that was Tierre,' said the girl's devastated grandmother, Liz Romani, 58 told

Children of the 1970s and 1980s will likely remember the chunky, plastic Fisher-Price magnets that adorned fridges in family homes. The popular toys were designed to help teach children to read and spell. But for some people, they had another unintended consequence; the magnets forever changed the colours that people would associate with letters. The child with the hood in this photo was born in 1988 and is an adult synesthete. His colour-letter pairings matched 25 of the 26 letters in the Fisher-Price magnet set, which is in the foreground . At least that's the conclusion of a study on synaesthesia - a neurological condition in which two or more senses experienced separately are involuntarily joined together. For instance, some synaesthetes experience colour when they hear sounds or read words. Others experience tastes, smells or shapes. It is believe that around one in 10,000 of people have synaesthesia, and scientists are still unsure exactly what causes some people to perceive two senses at the same time. A large amount of research, according to Discover magazine, has previously suggested the condition can be learned, rather than being the result of genetic factors. This graphic shows the results for 400 synesthetes with 10 or more letters matching the toy. The rows correspond to participants and columns to letters. The colours along the bottom represent the most frequently chosen colour label for each letter . The latest study adds to that body of work by suggesting the toy caused a generation to foreever link A with red, F with purple and P with green. Researchers from the Department of Psychology at Stanford University used data from 6,588 registered users to determine which colours are most commonly associated with which letters. They then compared these colour-letter matches to fridge magnets sold by Fisher-Price between 1971 and 1990. The results revealed that at least six per cent (400 out of the 6588 participants) learnt 'many of their matches' from the Fisher-Price set. Among those born in the decade after the toy began to be manufactured, the proportion of synesthetes with learned letter-colour pairings was closer to 15 per cent. The colours in the toy (upper row), the average colour choice for each letter from the 6188 synesthetes (middle row), and the most commonly assigned colour for each letter for the 400 synesthetes are shown here. Fig C shows when the choice does not match the toy (bottom row) Red bars show proportion of participants with 10 or more matches to the magnet set. Grey bars show participants with seven or more matches. For participants born between 1970 and 1985, the prevalence of synesthesia apparently learned from the Fisher-Price set can exceed 15 per cent . Synaesthesia is a neurological condition in which two or more senses experienced separately are involuntarily joined together. For instance, some synaesthetes experience colour when they hear sounds or read words. Others experience tastes, smells or shapes. Some people are born with synaesthesia, while others experience it after a stroke, or while using psychedelic drugs such as LSD. Famous synaesthetes include singers Pharrell

Summary: Synaesthesia is a condition in which separate senses are linked . Scientists determined which colours are usually connected with letters . They then compared these colour-letter matches to Fisher-Price magnets . They claim 6% of people learnt their matches from the Fisher-Price toy .


Inverness Cup hero Gary Warren has called for a change to the 'ridiculous' rule that will see him banned from a second final in successive seasons. Warren picked up his second booking of the competition in Sunday's Scottish Cup semi-final win over Celtic – meaning automatic suspension for the season finale on May 30. But the central defender, who also missed last year's League Cup Final for the same reason, says either the threshold should be raised – or all cards should be wiped from the record for any show-piece final. Inverness defender Gary Warren will miss the Scottish Cup final after picking up his second yellow card . Warren was shown a yellow card for this challenge on Celtic's James Forrest (right) during the semi-final . 'Having two bookings (as the limit) in a cup competition is ridiculous,' said Warren. 'Especially being a defender, it means you can't tackle - and that's part and parcel of being a defender, making challenges, making interceptions, making blocks. 'To have something like that taken away from you is a little bit gutting. I think it should be looked at. They should either increase the number of bookings needed to get a suspension - or, if you get to the final, wipe it out completely. 'Then it's fair for everyone, every team that gets to the semi-final, whoever is booked knows it's a clean slate for the final.' Warren knew instantly that he'd miss the final when ref Steven McLean rightly showed him a yellow card for hauling back James Forrest. More annoying for the 30-year-old is that his previous booking in the competition came for dissent, as he explaining: 'That was my own fault gobbing off to a referee. That's disappointing because I should have kept my mouth shut. It was against Partick Thistle, that's me getting frustrated and being too gobby to the referee. 'That hurts the most because this one was a tackle and a foul but the first one was a very silly booking. I'm 30 years old and I should know better. 'When you come into this game you always think about it and wonder what if - but if you start allowing it to play on your mind then you're going to pull out of tackles. I won't do that. Warren feels that the rule to have players suspended for amassing just two yellows is 'ridiculous' Celtic's Adam Matthews (right) slides in with a challenge on Nick Ross (left) during the Scottish Cup semi-final . 'After missing last year's final, I'm gutted again. It's just lady luck. You take it on the chin and move on.' Warren says he will definitely not be doing a John Terry and turning up in full kit to take part in any celebrations should Caley Thistle beat Falkirk in the final, saying: 'No, that's not me at all, no chance. I'll be in the background somewhere, in the stands. 'I suppose you kind of feel not part of it in the final but I'll still have a few beers. For the size of

Summary: Inverness' Gary Warren will miss the club's first-ever Scottish Cup final . Warren picked up his second yellow card of the Cup in the semi-final against Celtic and is therefore suspended for the showdown on May 30 . He was also suspended for the Scottish League Cup final last season . The defender believes the threshold for yellow card suspensions should be raised and is disappointed to be missing out on making history .


As Australian Fashion Week comes to a close, a new damning report has named and shamed some of the worst clothing brands sold in Australia and their companies, for the ongoing exploitation of their overseas workers. Lowes, Industrie, Best & Less and the Just Group - which includes Just Jeans, Portmans and Dotti - were identified as some of the worst performing companies by The 2015 Australian Fashion Report. Amongst the best performers were Etiko, Audrey Blue, Cotton On, H&M and Zara. The report assessed the labour rights management systems of 59 companies and 219 brands operating in Australia. The 2015 Australian Fashion Report has named and shamed some of the worst Aussie clothing brands and companies for their ongoing exploitation of overseas workers . Amongst the best performers were Etiko, Audrey Blue, Cotton On, H&M and Zara . It found that only two of the companies could prove they were paying a full living wage to the workers in two of the three production stages of their clothing. None of the 59 companies could prove the workers at their raw material suppliers were paid a living wage. Unlike a country's legally set minimum wage, a living wage ensures that an employee has enough money to cover the necessities - like food, water, electricity and shelter - and still has a little left over for themselves and their dependants. In some countries like Bangladesh, where the minimum wage is as little as US$68 a month and a living wage is US$104, the difference can be made by paying each worker just an additional 30c per t-shirt. Lowes, Industrie, Best & Less and the Just Group - which includes Just Jeans, Portmans and Dotti - were identified as some of the worst performers . 'The whole point in our reporting scorecard is if these companies don't have rigours systems in place to mitigate against those risks then you can't be sure that there is no forced labour or child labour in their supply chain,' Gershon Nimbalker, an advocacy manager at Baptist World Aid, said . 'A mere 12 per cent of companies could demonstrate any action towards paying wages above the legal minimum, and even then, only for part of their supply chain,' the report states. 'Furthermore, 91 per cent of companies still don't know where all their cotton comes from and 75 per cent don't know the source of all their fabrics and inputs. 'If companies don't know how and where their products are made, then there's no way for them to ensure that their workers are protected.' Uzbekistan for instance, the world's fifth largest exporter of cotton, was notorious for its child labour policies which saw children as young as 10 forced to work in the fields until the government recently improved conditions by renouncing the use of child labour 'on a systematic basis'. 'Furthermore, 91 per cent of companies still don't know where all their cotton comes from and 75 per cent don't know the source of all their fabrics and inputs,' the report stated . Gershon Nimbalker, an advocacy

Summary: Australian Fashion Report revealed the Australian-sold brands and companies that ignore the exploitation of their overseas workers . Lowes, Industrie, Best & Less and the Just Group - which includes Just Jeans, Portmans and Dotti - were some of the worst performers . Etiko, Audrey Blue, Cotton On, H&M and Zara had some of the best scores . 75 per cent of companies don't know the source of all their fabrics and inputs .


Steven Gerrard is set to get the nod to start at Wembley today as Liverpool bid to reach the FA Cup final against Aston Villa. The 34-year-old has flitted in and out of Brendan Rodgers’ side this term and will end his long association with the club at the end of this season. Gerrard is set to embark on a new chapter with LA Galaxy, and wants his glittering career in England to finish with a trophy at the national stadium. Steven Gerrard is set to start the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Aston Villa on Sunday . Gerrard has been missing all month after serving his three-match ban for seeing red against Man United . Midfield player Gerrard lifted Liverpool's last trophy at Wembley, the League Cup, in 2012 .

Gerrard will patrol the middle of midfield to mark his 36th - and potentially final - game at Wembley . He is straight back into the side after serving a three-match suspension for seeing red just 38 seconds after coming on a substitute against Manchester United last month. Manager Brendan Rodgers has used Gerrard sparingly so far this season . Rodgers (left) praised Gerrard, describing him as 'a special player' who has 'produced big goals' Gerrard's first taste of FA Cup glory came in 2001 when Liverpool beat Arsenal 2-1 . 'He's definitely ready,' Rodgers said. 'We played a behind closed doors game on Monday which he and a few of the other players that have been out played in. Steven is fine. 'He's a special player. He has been, throughout his time, an incredible player who in the main has always, in the big games, produced big goals and big moments. 'The most important thing is having him back. He is someone who has got special quality.'

Summary: Brendan Rodgers picks Steven Gerrard to start FA Cup semi-final . The 34-year-old has served his three-match ban after seeing red last month against Manchester United . Gerrard has been in and out of the Liverpool side this season .


A sheriff's department in Florida has released a video showing spring break revelers milling about on a beach not 10 feet from where an unconscious 19-year-old girl was being gang raped by a group of men. The brief cellphone clip came to light as deputies continued searching for two additional suspects in the March attack in Panama City Beach that was witnessed by hundreds of people who failed to intervene. So far, authorities have arrested a pair of students from Alabama's Troy University who were allegedly seen in a cellphone video recorded last month sexually assaulting a 19-year-old girl in Panama city Beach. Bay County Sheriff Frank McKeithen described the graphic video as the 'most disgusting, sickening thing' he had ever seen likened the scene to 'wild animals preying on a carcass laying in the woods'. He said the sickening footage shows at least three men surrounding an incapacitated woman on a beach chair. Scroll down for video . Hunt continues: Officials in Florida are searching for two men suspected of taking part in a gang rape of a 19-year-old unconscious girl at the Spinnaker Beach Club in Panama City, Florida last month . Caught on camera: This is a screen shot from a video clip released by the Bay County Sheriff’s Office showing the moment a man allegedly sexually assaulted a woman on a crowded beach. The image has been obscured by the sheriff's department .

Delonte Martistee, 22, of Bainbridge, Georgia, and Ryan Calhoun, 23, of Mobile, Alabama, were charged with sexual battery for the incident believed to have occurred between March 10 and 12. Sheriff McKeithen said the video of the attack showed hundreds of spring break revelers impassively looking on as the unconscious teenage girl was being raped by a group of men, CBS News reported. ‘People standing, almost rubbing the incapacitated girl,’ the sheriff said. ‘Standing there, more concerned about spilling their beer than they did someone being raped. McKeithen revealed that so far, his deputies have recovered more than four recordings of the sexual assault, and he believes that are more videos out there. The sheriff’s office released a short clip showing the crowd they said was present at the time. The recording depicts a seemingly normal day at the beach for dozens of bikini-clad spring breakers goofing off and standing around talking about Instagram. At one point, a few people cheer, but it’s unclear why.

In a hurry: Katrina Maddox, 23, with baby Edward, who was born in the back of an ambulance . In an unusual twist of fate, described as a 'million to one shot', a young mother has given birth in the back of an ambulance for the second time in as many years after her baby boy was born on the same stretch of busy main road as his brother. Katrina Maddox, 23, pulled off the double against all the odds after having baby Edward on the way to hospital in the early hours of last Thursday. Her second little boy came along on the A47 in Norfolk two years after Mrs Maddox, of North Pickenham, near Swaffham, had her first child Reuben in exactly the same way. The surprised mother said: 'I can't believe it's happened twice! 'I can't imagine there are many people who have both their children like this - it must be a million to one.' Mrs Maddox's labour with her first son, Reuben, was three hours long. The toddler, who is now two, ended up being delivered by his dad, Peter Maddox, 30, in the back of the ambulance as they were driven through North Tuddenham. Little Edward took just 72 minutes to arrive as the ambulance travelled past Longwater Retail Park at Costessey, Norwich. 'I really didn't want it to happen again and I was so adamant I was not going to have Edward in an ambulance,' laughed Mrs Maddox, who is training to be an accountant. 'But then it did get to that point when I realised I was not going to make it to the hospital again. 'At least this time Peter was able to be by my side rather than delivering his son himself.' Mrs Maddox, whose husband is a self-employed forester, added: 'I didn't even know I was in labour with my first son Reuben until I was pushing. 'Peter was an absolute saint and so calm for me. He was the best midwife I could have had. 'Both times everything happened so quickly I didn't even have time to panic or think about it.' This time the couple were at home in bed when Mrs Maddox realised Edward was on his way at about 3am. They knew they did not have time to hang around for Peter's parents to arrive. Luckily, a Good Samaritan neighbour popped in to look after Reuben as he slept upstairs, blissfully unaware of the second great baby drama unfolding. The route: This shows where both Reuben and Edward were born on the A47. Reuben came along near North Tuddenham and Edward as the ambulance travelled past Longwater Retail Park at Costessey, Norwich . Happy family: Edward followed in the footsteps of his brother Reuben (pictured), two, who was delivered by his father Peter Maddox as he and wife Katrina rushed to Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital . Mrs Maddox said she had considered it might have been easier to have a midwife go to her, but was told home births were not available in her area. The

Summary: Katrina Maddox, 23, from Norfolk, said the odds must be 'a million to one' Her husband Peter delivered first son Reuben on the A47 two years ago . History repeated itself when baby Edward also arrived on way to hospital .


Ed Miliband is in league with the Scottish Nationalists and preparing to allow them to be ‘the chain to Labour’s wrecking ball’, David Cameron will say today. The Prime Minister – who last night said he would be a ‘big failure’ if he does not win a Commons majority – will unveil an analysis to show Labour and the SNP are ‘really on the same side’ and want ‘more borrowing, more debt and more taxes’. Mr Cameron will show that, since Mr Miliband became Labour leader, the SNP has trooped through the lobbies with his MPs in 91.5 per cent of Commons divisions. The SNP backed Labour in 27 out of 28 votes on welfare and 62 out of 65 on the economy. Warning: David Cameron will unveil analysis to show Labour and the SNP are 'really on thre same side' today . Labour and the SNP have ruled out a formal coalition but refused to do the same for a looser arrangement that would prop up a minority government led by Mr Miliband. The Prime Minister last night told BBC Newsnight presenter Evan Davis that he would feel he had ‘not succeeded’ if the Conservatives failed to win a majority. His intervention today will pile pressure on the Labour leader ahead of tonight’s TV ‘challengers’ debate’, in which he will square up to SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon. Miss Sturgeon’s performance in the first TV debate has seen her party surge further, breaking 50 per cent in one poll and threatening Labour with wipeout north of the border. Since Mr Miliband became Labour leader, the SNP has trooped through the lobbies with his MPs in 91.5 per cent of Commons divisions, Cameron will say . Yesterday, she suggested she would seek to hold Labour to ransom on a vote-by-vote basis, insisting: ‘It’s perfectly possible to defeat governments on issues and to change the course of governments on issues without bringing the government down.’ Even senior Labour figures have doubts over Mr Miliband’s decision to be the only leader from the main Westminster parties to appear with Scottish and Welsh nationalists, the Greens and Ukip, putting him in danger of being outflanked on all sides. A Labour source said: ‘Our best hope is that nobody watches it and it’s just a damp squib. Other than that, we’re hoping the media narrative is that Cameron was right to sit this one out, not that Ed looked like an idiot.’ Mr Cameron, launching his party’s Scottish manifesto in Glasgow, will say Scotland is the scene of a ‘massive political fight’ that could determine the future of the UK. ‘We’ve got Labour and the SNP on opposite sides – slugging it out – but if you take a step back they’re really on the same side,’ the Prime Minister will say. ‘You have a weak Labour party, who want more spending, more borrowing, more debt and more taxes. And the people who will prop them up, the SNP – who want even more spending, more borrowing, more debt and more taxes. ‘Together, they pose a clear

Summary: David Cameron will unveil analysis to show Labour and SNP 'on same side' He'll say since Milband became Labour leader SNP trooped through lobbies . SNP backed Labour in 27 of 28 votes on welfare and 62 of 65 on economy . Labour and SNP ruled out formal coalition but refused same for looser term .


Jose Mourinho believes that the Ballon d’or, the trophy awarded to the world’s best footballer, should be scrapped. The Chelsea manager has sided with Arsene Wenger in calling into the question the legitimacy of the award. Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is the current holder of the trophy which is voted for by national team managers and captains. Jose Mourinho, pictured on the Chelsea bench during their win against Stoke, has sided with Arsene Wenger . Cristiano Ronaldo, winner of the Ballon d'Or on three occasions, is presented with last year's award . Lionel Messi, who finished runner-up to Ronaldo in 2014, has previously won the compeition three times . Speaking last year, Wenger said he was ‘totally against’ the Ballon d’Or, and in a wide-ranging interview with the Telegraph, Mourinho moved to side with his great Premier League rival. ‘I think Wenger said something that is interesting; he is against the Ballon d’Or, and I think he’s right, because in this moment football is losing a little bit the concept of the team to focus more on the individual,’ said Mourinho. ‘We are always looking at the individual performance, the individual stat, the player that runs more. Because you run 11km in a game and I run nine you did a better job than I did? Maybe not! Maybe my 9km were more important than your 11.’ Arsene Wenger and Mourinho have clashed on a number of occasions during their managerial careers . Eden Hazard is congratulated by his Chelsea team-mates after scoring in their victory against Stoke City . Ronaldo beat Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Manuel Neuer, of Bayern Munich, to this year’s award which was presented to the former Manchester United star in December. It is the third time he has been honoured with the gong. The second of his triumphs came when he was playing under Mourinho at Madrid. ‘For me, football is collective,' added Mourinho, whose Chelsea team travel to Loftus Road on Sunday as they bid to be crowned Premier League champions. 'The individual is welcome if you want to make our group better. But you have to work for us, not we have to work for you. 'When the top player arrives, the team is already there. It’s not him who comes to discover the team, like Columbus discovering America. No, no, you are coming now to help us be better. And as a manager you have to give this message every day.'

Summary: Arsene Wenger called for the competition to be scrapped last year . And Jose Mourinho is in agreement with his great Premier League rival . The Chelsea boss said: 'Wenger is against the Ballon d’Or, and he’s right' They are seven points ahead of Arsenal with a game in hand . Mourinho: I have a problem, I am getting better and better .
