The majority of heatwaves and almost a fifth of extreme rain storms can be blamed on human activity, a new study has warned. Researchers say that three quarters of extreme hot weather and 18 per cent of heavy precipitation is being driven by global warming that has occurred due to man-made emissions. They warn that as climate change pushes global temperatures higher over the coming decades, humans will become responsible for 40 per cent of extreme rainfall events. Researchers say 75% of extreme hot weather and 18% of heavy precipitation is being driven by global warming as a result of man-made emissions. They warn that as climate change pushes global temperatures higher, humans will be responsible for 40% of extreme rainfall events (floods in Somerset in 2014 are shown) The scientists claim it is the rarest and most destructive events that seem to be the most responsive to human influence. Dr Erich Fischer, from the institute for atmospheric and climate science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich who led the study, said: 'Climate change includes not only changes in mean climate but also in weather extremes. Global temperatures were the highest since records began in 1880, according to scientists. Temperatures across the world averaged 0.8°C (1.4°F) above 20th century averages - making 2014 the warmest year in records dating back 134 years. The Met Office has already announced that 2014 was the hottest year for the UK in records dating back to 1910. Scientists have also warned that 2015 could be warmer still. Earlier this month they revealed that the Earth experienced its hottest month of March since record-keeping began in 1880. The first three months of 2015 have all set new high temperature marks. Last month's average temperature soared to 56.4°F (13.6°C), which is 1.5°F (0.85°C) above the average for the 20th century. Also of concern was the finding that Arctic sea ice was the lowest on record for March. Much of the most abnormal heat has been in the Pacific Ocean and places near it. Seven western U.S. states set records for their hottest first three months of the year, while New York and Vermont set records for the coldest start of a year. Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia have also all been warmer than normal. Blunden blames the record heat on a combination of El Niño, a blob of record hot water in the Northeast Pacific Ocean and human-caused climate change. 'With every degree of warming it is the rarest and the most extreme events and thereby the ones with typically the highest socio-economic impacts for which the largest fraction is due to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. 'We show that at the present-day warming of 0.85°C about 18 per cent of the moderate daily precipitation extremes over land are attributable to the observed temperature increase since pre-industrial times, which in turn primarily results from human influence. 'For 2°C of warming the fraction of precipitation extremes attributable to human influence rises to about 40 per cent. 'Likewise, today about 75 per cent of the moderate daily hot

Summary: Scientists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich modelled the probability of extreme weather events being caused by human activity . They found humans are to blame for the worst heatwaves and floods today . Conclusion was made by comparing levels pre and post industrial times . Experts warn storms will grow more common as global temperatures rise .


As Jimmy Anderson prepares to play his 100th Test - needing only three wickets to equal Ian Botham’s England-record haul of 383 - Sportsmail's Lawrence Booth spoke to those who knew him and played with him in his early days for Burnley, Lancashire and England. England quick James Anderson plays his 100th Test match in Antigua against the West Indies from Monday . Anderson needs just three wickets to go level with Sir Ian Botham as England's top Test wicket taker . MICHAEL BROWN . Burnley CC team-mate, now club chairman . We used to call Jimmy the ‘Pro Killer’. Playing in the Lancashire League, he’d regularly get the opposition professional out. He was quite a slight kid. It was probably when he was 17 that we thought, wow, he’s got some pace. And he had this ability to bowl jaffas. When he bowled so brilliantly against Pakistan in the 2003 World Cup everyone at Burnley was saying: ‘We’ve seen these magic balls before.’ Anderson was known as Pro Killer during his days with Burnley, reveals former team-mate and now club chairman Michael Brown . My mum can take some of the credit for Jimmy being signed by Lancashire. He was bowling really well for Burnley, and she rang up John Stanworth, who was at the club at the time. Jimmy was invited for trials by Lancashire and that was that. He was always a shy lad. But he cares very much. JOHN STANWORTH . Former Lancashire player development manager . His potential was brought to my attention by Val Brown so I’m not going to take credit for unearthing Jimmy. I didn’t necessarily think he’d be the bowler he is today but there was just something about him. When he arrived for Under 17 nets he was a shy introvert but with the ability to bowl at good pace. But it was the late swing that stood out. Even established batsmen struggled to line him up. They were playing and missing all the time. He made them look ordinary. In the early days I just left him alone. He had these unusual mannerisms, like not looking at the batsman at the point of delivery, and a strange rotation of the shoulders. But I ignored all that even when coaches at other counties were pointing it out. I just said: ‘We’ve got a 17-year-old bowling 80mph and getting the top three out!’ WARREN HEGG . Anderson’s first captain at Lancashire and wicketkeeper . He burst on to the scene in my first year as captain. There was talk of this kid from the valleys in Lancashire. He wouldn’t say boo to a goose but bowled like the speed of light with the funniest action. He bowled to me in a centre net practice at Old Trafford and was either turning me inside out or hitting me on the shin. I thought: ‘Either I’m losing it or this kid’s special’. And he really was. We sat down with coach Mike Watkinson and tried to work out how to set fields that were both

Summary: James Anderson plays his 100th Test match in Antigua starting Monday . The quick needs four scalps to become England top Test wicket taker . He was called 'Pro Killer' as a teen knocking over batsmen for Burnley . Mark Butcher recalls Jimmy's Test debut at Lord’s back in 2003 .


Dental kits which allow people to carry out their own fillings and repair caps and crowns at home are on the rise as patients say they can't afford a visit to the dentist. The kits, which can cost as little as £5 or even be bought in pound shops, are intended to provide a temporary solution for lost fillings or broken caps and crowns. However, more and more people are said to be buying the kits to carry out their own dental work as the price of receiving filling by a NHS dentist in England is as much as £52. More and more people suffering from dental problems are turning to DIY dentistry kits due to the price of NHS dental treatment (picture posed by model) According to the Guardian, one of the biggest sellers of first aid dental kits is DenTek, who sell around 250,000 products a year, although there is no research on how they are used. Among the items they sell are a temporary filling material as well as cap and crown cement. And although Department for Health figures show that more people than ever are receiving dental treatment on the NHS, experts are pointing to anecdotal evidence, which suggests that DIY dentistry is on the rise. John Wildman, a professor of health economics at Newcastle University told the newspaper: 'People at the lower end of the distribution curve - on big housing estates in the north-east, for instance - are effectively completely unreported. One of the DenTrek kits that can be bought to provide a temporary filling or repair a cap . 'They don't take part in surveys and they don't go to GP surgeries. Which is why you have a situation where people in the north-east have gaps in their teeth and are resorting to DIY dentistry.' Meanwhile others have pointed to the fact that in certain parts of England registering with an NHS dentist can be difficult due to huge waiting lists. An investigation last year found that some people were being forced to register with surgeries up to 40 miles from their home as nearby practices were refusing to take-on new patients. It also found that some NHS dental surgeries can have waiting lists of up to two years. The rise of the DIY kits come as British Dental Health Foundation revealed last year that one in five people admitted they would carry out DIY dentistry, including pulling out their own teeth, because they can't afford to go to the dentist. Their survey found that 17 per cent of people would remove their own tooth and that almost 80 per cent of those asked would leave a problem with their teeth until they could afford a dental appointment. The foundation also warned about 'senseless' examples of people pulling out the wrong tooth and ending up with infections after resorting to using doorknobs and string to yank out painful and infected teeth. Dr Nigel Carter, chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, said: 'DIY dentistry is both dangerous and unnecessary. There are too many senseless

Summary: Kits are intended to be a temporary solution to broken fillings and crowns . They can be bought in supermarkets for around £5 or even pound shops . Products are on the rise as people say they can't afford dental treatment . Study reveals that 20 per cent of people would carry out DIY dentistry .

Scientists claim to have established which diets are most likely to work - and keep the weight off in the long term . From high protein to low fat, calorie counters to slimming shakes, we are bombarded by diet plans promising the holy grail of weight loss. But if you just can't shed the pounds - or keep them off - then help may be at hand. A landmark report claims to have established which diets are most likely to work - and keep the weight off in the long term. The US researchers say very few of these - often very expensive - weight loss plans have solid evidence to back up their claims. In fact, the results suggest only a few programmes have shown their users lose more weight than those not using them. Others produce no better results than people dieting on their own or getting health information elsewhere, while some may actually be harmful to health. Crucially, very few have been shown to keep the weight off permanently. But a handful - including Weight Watchers, the Atkins diet, Jenny Craig and NutriSystem - do appear to be effective, according to long-term studies. The research, from Johns Hopkins University, was prompted by doctors seeing an increasing number of obese or overweight patients wanting to join popular slimming clubs or diet plans. The researchers say reliable proof of which ones work has become increasingly important as doctors and health bosses come under increasing pressure to tackle the obesity epidemic. To draw their conclusions, they first reviewed 4,200 studies involving these diets for solid evidence of effectiveness. However only a few dozen of the studies met the scientific gold standard of reliability - using properly controlled clinical trials. Scroll down for video . Because of this, they ended up examining 11 programs in detail. Three 'high-intensity' programmes were included: Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and NutriSystem. These incorporate goal setting, self-monitoring, nutritional information and counselling. There were three very-low-calorie meal replacement programmes: HMR, Medifast and OPTIFAST. Five 'self-directed' programmes, Atkins, SlimFast, and the internet-based Biggest Loser Club, eDiets and Lose It!, were also looked at. Of the 11 plans, some were free while those that required replacement meals could cost up to between £380 ($570) and £460 ($682) per month. The high protein, low cab Atkins diet scored well: This was because there was 'gold-standard data' showing that people following the diet lost more weight after one year than those people either dieting on their own or getting health and diet information elsewhere . The researchers say only two programmes are supported by gold-standard data showing that enrolled dieters - on average - lost more weight after one year than those either dieting on their own or getting health and diet information elsewhere. EVIDENCE OF LONG-TERM SUCCESS: Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig . EVIDENCE OF SHORT-TERM SUCCESS: . NutriSystem produced more weight loss at three months than counselling or education alone, but researchers were unable to find any long-term trials . Very-low-calorie meal replacement dieters lost more weight than people not using them

Summary: Researchers examined 4,200 studies and selected 11 weight loss plans . Included Atkins, Jenny Craig, meal replacements and online support sites . Wanted to see how successful they were at first and in the long term . Very few plans had evidence they worked better than getting information elsewhere for free - or that they helped weight stay off permanently .


Unite baron Len McCluskey has boasted that trade unions ‘own’ the Labour party and its policies. ‘The Labour Party is our party. We built it, to serve us’, he declared and went on to say: ‘These are our policies…they are now within our grasp.’ The boast comes only 24 hours after Alex Salmond bragged that he would be writing Labour’s budget. The arrogant claim by the former Scottish first minister, who is running as an SNP candidate, was featured on the front page of yesterday’s Mail. Unite boss Len McCluskey, pictured, boasted that the trade union movement 'owns' the Labour Party . The intervention of Mr McCluskey, so soon after Mr Salmond’s mocking remarks, is another humiliation for Ed Miliband. It comes in a foreword to Unite’s magazine. Mr McCluskey urges his members to ‘take back our country’ and ‘restore decency, dignity and justice’. He says: ‘The Labour party is our party. We built it, to serve us, the people. Never forget, the rich and powerful have their party, the Tories. And Ukip is no friend – they are frauds, charlatans who will roll back every advance won by working people. ‘One May 7, we can vote for a government that will build homes, give our kids hope, save our NHS and attack the evil of zero hours, hire and fire working. ‘These are our policies. These are the changes that you have been fighting for these five long years. They are now within our grasp.’ He goes on to warn: ‘Do not for a moment forget this: should Cameron and his cronies win on May 7, they will change our nation forever – but not for better. ‘Cuts that will take us back to the darkest days of the 1930s. Attacks on unions will place us in chains so we cannot defend you, our members.’ The article is Mr McCluskey’s first major intervention in the election campaign. Trade unions gave Labour £737,948 out of the £1.1million the party raised this week – the second week of the election campaign. This is the equivalent of £1.22 every second from trade union. Unite gave £112,000 according to official figures published by the Electoral Commission. But this was dwarfed by health workers’ union Unison’s £311,875 and the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers’ £300,481. However, last week Unite gave Labour £1million and has provided £14.4million since Mr Miliband won the Labour leadership. He was a surprise victor in the 2010 leadership election thanks largely to the support of the unions. The Labour leader was even serenaded by Unite’s brass band at a rally in Yorkshire yesterday. Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman, right, is a fully paid up member of the Unite trade union . Other Unite members looking for a seat in cabinet are Andy Burnham, pictured, and Chuka Umunna . Reflecting Unite’s own programme, the party plans to ban zero hours contracts, impose rent controls, raise the minimum wage, scrap job tribunal fees and part-renationalise the railways. Earlier this week it emerged that more than half of Labour candidates in winnable seats

Summary: Unite boss Len McCluskey told members that Unions created Labour . He urged members to 'take back our country' and 'bring back decency' Last week his union pumped a further £1 million into the Labour Party . More than half of Labour candidates in winnable seats are backed by Unite .


A bakery in Oregon has been told to pay $135,000 to a lesbian couple that it refused to make a wedding cake for two years ago. An administrative law judge said that Sweet Cakes by Melissa, in the Portland suburb of Gresham, discriminated against Rachel Bowman-Cryer and her wife Laurel and caused them emotional suffering. Melissa Klein and her husband Aaron refused to make the couple, who held a commitment ceremony in June 2013, a cake after learning that they were lesbians in January of that year because they disapprove of gay marriage for religious reasons. The Kleins were able to raise more than $100,000 from anonymous donors on a fundraising page before it was shut down for violating GoFundMe's terms of service. Melissa Klein (behind counter) of Sweet Cakes by Melissa faces a $135,000 fine after being found guilty of discriminating against a lesbian couple when she and her husband refused to make them a wedding cake . Rachel Bowman-Cryer (right) and her wife Laurel (left) file a civil rights lawsuit and said that they had suffered emotional distress because of the case after they received death threats . The judge's Friday verdict comes after the Bowman-Cryers filed a civil rights suit in the case, which has joined a series of similar proceedings in a national debate about anti-LGBT discrimination and religious freedom. They said during compensation hearings that they had received death threats and were worried about losing their two foster children after the case received widespread attention, according to Oregon Live. Oregon prohibits businesses from discriminating based on sexual orientation and the Christian bakers are were found guilty of discrimination earlier this year. The bakery must pay up to $150,000, and the judge's Friday decision of $135,000 will be approved or amended by State Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian. A ruling issued by the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries saying that the Kleins discriminated also rejected their argument that she did not discriminate against the couple because she had previously sold Rachel Cryer a cake for her mother's wedding. Melissa Klein and her husband Aaron (right), who closed their bakery in 2013 amid attention to the discrimination case, say they are in dire financial straits because of the fine . An administrative law court in Oregon ruled earlier this year against the Klein's defense that their constitutional right to expression of their religious beliefs superseded Oregon state law against discrimination . The Kleins, who closed their store in 2013 amid attention drawn to the discrimination and now operate it from their home, have said that they and their five children are struggling financially. 'This is real money that Aaron and Melissa are going to have to pay that otherwise would be used to pay their mortgage and feed their kids,' their lawyer Anna Harmon told the Oregonian. The bakery's Facebook page posted a message Friday saying that the fine 'will financially ruin us'. A GoFundMe page for the family has already raised $101,000 as of Friday night. The page, which has set its goal at $200,000, says that any

This extraordinary video - captured when a skydiver dropped his GoPro camera at 10,000ft - shows what it is like to freefall to the ground. The clip shows the very moment the helmet camera becomes detached and makes its dizzying descent back to earth. After what begins as a routine skydive - with two of the jumpers linking hands in mid-air as two companions circle them - the camera slips from helmet and makes its stomach-churning plunge to the ground. It spins quickly to the ground for a minute and a half before crashing into a field. Remarkably, the camera remains intact despite falling from the great height. The video was taken of a routine skydive in Everöd, Sweden and recorded on the helmet of one of the divers . A Go Pro video shows the skydivers linking arms as they jumped out of the plane at 10,000 feet . As two of the divers continue to link hands, their two friends circle them as they free fall from the plane . At that moment, the Go Pro camera from one of the diver's helmets becomes detached and falls to the ground . The camera was discovered by Kristoffer Örstadius's father in a meadow in Gringelstad outside Kristianstad, Sweden. It is believed the footage was taken four years ago and Kristoffer uploaded the footage in the hope of finding its owner. After posting the video to YouTube, the owner was located in Everöd, Sweden. It has amassed more than 250,000 views since it was uploaded to the site. Once detached, it whizzes to the ground - taking one and a half minutes to hit the ground . The camera continues to record as it spins out of control, and captures some dizzying footage . As the camera plummets to the earth, the footage of the free fall becomes even more blurry . Eventually, the camera crashes into the ground in thick grass - remarkably it remained intact .

Summary: Clip shows moment helmet camera becomes detached and falls to earth . Remarkably, the camera remains intact despite plummeting from 10,000ft . Was found in a meadow in Gringelstad, Sweden, and returned to its owner .


One of the closest friends of Georgina Bartter, who died after consuming an ecstasy pill at a music festival last year, has pleaded guilty to supplying the teenager with the fatal pills that led to her death. A lawyer for Rebecca Hannibal, 19, appeared in front of Downing Centre Local Court on Wednesday. Ms Hannibal had pleaded not guilty to single supply charge at a previous hearing but her defence representative told Magistrate Mark Buscombe she was changing her plea to guilty. Police alleged Ms Hannibal, of Cammeray, supplied a number of 'purple speaker' pills between 2pm and 3:30pm on November 7, the day before the Harbourlife dance festival near Mrs Macquarie's Chair where Ms Bartter collapsed. Rebecca Hannibal (centre) has pleaded guilty to supplying her best friend Georgina Bartter (far right) with 'purple speaker' ecstasy pills in the lead up to the Harbourlife dance festival . Ms Bartter was just 19 when she died after collapsing on the dance floor in November last year after taking 'one and a half pills' 'Purple speaker': She is believed to have had an extremely rare adverse reaction to the substance she took on the night . Ms Bartter is believed to have had an extremely rare adverse reaction to the 'one and a half pills' she took on the night. She collapsed on the dance floor and was rushed to St Vincent's Hospital but died from multiple organ failure. Police charge sheets seen by Daily Mail Australia allege the pills were purchased from Matthew Forti, 19, who has been charged with supplying a prohibited drug between October 27 and November 8 last year. He has also been charged with supplying a prohibited drug in Northbridge in January this year and possessing a drug in Willoughby in February. Police alleged Ms Hannibal (front, with Ms Bartter pictured behind) purchased a number of 'purple speaker' pills between 2pm and 3:30pm on November 7, the day before the Harbourlife dance festival . Ms Hannibal (left) and Ms Bartter (right), both 19, were very close friends and had just returned from a five week European holiday together with a group of friends . Police charge sheets seen by Daily Mail Australia allege the pills were purchased from Matthew Forti, 19, (left) who has been charged with supplying a prohibited drug between October 27 and November 8 last year . Mr Forti pleaded not guilty to three counts of supplying drugs and possessing MDMA at the Downing Centre Local Court on March 25 and will return to court in May. Tragically, the two young women shared a very close bond. They were 'best friends' and had travelled to Europe for five weeks together just months before Ms Bartter's death. Facebook is filled with photos of them together, with the teens pictured celebrating and carefree at Ms Hannibal's 18th birthday party. Ms Hannibal (left) was arrested and charged on December 23, more than a month after Ms Bartter's tragic death on November 8 .

Rebecca Hannibal, 19, was first charged with supplying ecstasy to Ms Bartter in December but originally pleaded not guilty . Police allege she purchased the ecstasy pills from Matthew Forti, also 19 . Ms Bartter, 19, died from a suspected ecstasy overdose in November . She was taken to hospital after suffering multiple organ failure .


Haris Vuckic stands as the one bonus from a now infamous deal. While the other members of the Newcastle Five have managed a paltry 44 minutes of football between them, the Slovenian has positively thrived at Rangers. So much so, in fact, that he admits any possibility of staying at Ibrox beyond the end of this season would be an immensely attractive option. Whether or not that can happen will depend on a number of factors. Vuckic has denied a report on Tyneside stating he had already declared his intention to quit St James Park, where he has one year left on his contract. Summer discussions with his parent club will have to take place. Haris Vuckic has thrived at Rangers under new manager Stuart McCall . By then, he will also know whether Rangers have fulfilled their aim of promotion via the play-offs. Certainly, he has done much so far to try to make Premier League football a reality at Ibrox once again. Vuckic has scored six times since signing for Rangers, including three in his last two appearances as the revival under Stuart McCall has gathered momentum. The 22-year-old is clearly relishing the exposure he has been granted. Having begun to stagnate on the fringes of the Newcastle squad, he feels revived by life in Glasgow. ‘I’m really enjoying playing my football and I’m training hard,’ said Vuckic. ‘At Newcastle, I didn’t have that chance. ‘But it’s nonsense that I have said I am going to quit Newcastle. I never said that. I still respect Newcastle because I have a year left there. And I also respect Rangers because I have a loan deal here. ‘We will see what is going to happen in the transfer window and what Newcastle have to say. I will get options and I have to take the option that is best for me.’ And if Rangers were to make an offer for his services come the end of the season? Vuckic has won over Rangers fans with six goals from 10 games, including this strike against Hearts . ‘That would be a good option because I’m really enjoying my football here,’ replied Vuckic. ‘I’m scoring goals, playing well and the fans like me. It would be a great option for me. ‘This is the happiest I have been for a while with my football because I am playing every week. As a player, that is all you want. To show people that you are good.’ Clearly, there is little appeal in returning to Tyneside simply to spend another 12 months stuck in the reserves or filling space on the bench. ‘That wouldn’t be the best option for me,’ he admitted. ‘Playing first-team football is very different from the Under-21s, where you basically play with the kids. You want to play at a bigger, stronger level. ‘In football you have to take a step back to go forward. I feel from Newcastle to Rangers on loan I took that step back but now I want to go forward. ‘If I go back to play Under-21

Summary: Haris Vuckic has spent second half of season on loan at Rangers . Slovenia star has been a success at Ibrox with six goals in 10 games . Newcastle may decide to sell him with one year left on his contract .

She was killed on impact after suffering horrific head injuries. Scroll down for video . This is the shocking moment Nurhayada Sofia fell to her death after being dragged by an escalator at a shopping centre in Malaysia . The heartbreaking accident happened while her mother was on the phone to her husband Musa who had called to check how she and his two daughters were. Nurhayada is seen in the video playing with the handrail at the top of the escalator with her five-year-old sister at the Kenanga Wholesale City mall in Pudu, Malaysia. She then appears to be dragged over the side and vanishes. The six-year-old was out shopping with her mother and sister at the Kenanga Wholesale City mall in Pudu, Malaysia . Nurhayada can be seen in the CCTV footage playing with the handrail at the top of the escalator . Stunned bystanders at the busy shopping mall rush to the edge and peer over in shock. Her distraught father Musa told The Star: 'We were still arguing when I heard a commotion and the line was cut. 'Minutes later, my wife called back to say that Nurhayada was dead. I just couldn't believe it.' Her mother was said to have been inconsolable and said: 'I made a mistake and my daughter is dead.'

Charlene Bishop, who is 17 months old, went to feed her pony Taffee on Wednesday and was worried when she didn't meet her at the gate as normal. Her mother Danielle Flisher went to investigate and found the Shetland lying on the floor and dying from horrific head injuries. Sickening: Taffee the Shetland pony was battered to death with a breeze block in the middle of the night in a brutal attack . The left side of Taffee's (left) skull was completely caved in, her left eye was battered outs of its socket and concrete was embedded in her brain . The left side of the pony's skull was completely caved in, her left eye was battered out of its socket and concrete was embedded in her brain. The five-year-old animal also had a broken leg and vets called to the field in Boxley, near Gillingham, Kent, had no option but to put the distressed pony down. Police believe Taffee was battered round the head with a breeze block sometime between 11pm on Tuesday night and 9am on Wednesday morning. Charlene, who had only owned 22in Taffee for three months, visited her every day to groom and feed her and rode her every weekend. Ms Flisher, 19, said: 'I don't understand how anybody could be so sick. 'Taffee was a tiny pony. The vet said she was hit over and over again and it looks like by was more than one person. 'It seems they held her head collar while they beat her. Taffee was crying blood from the damage they did to her skull. Vile: The Shetland was found lying on the floor and dying from horrific head injuries after the brutal attack . 'We got Taffee for Charlene when she was diagnosed with epilepsy. She can't do the same things as everyone else, but she loved spending time with me at the yard and had Taffee to keep her happy. 'They weren't together long but they were amazing.

'She's lost her best friend and she's devastated.' Taffee had a foal, 10-month-old Biscuit, who the family are now in the process of finding a surrogate mother for. Charlene, who is 17 months old, was bought the pony to help deal with her epilepsy and has lost her 'best friend', her mother said . Ms Flisher, a mother-of-two, added: 'I can't believe there are people out there who would do this to a tiny, defenceless pony. 'They would have seen she belonged to a child, she even had a Frozen rug on. 'Charlene doesn't understand death.

Professor Ninian Peckitt, 63, has been struck off after a hearing heard that he punched a patient in the face ten times to fix a broken cheekbone . A groundbreaking facial surgeon has been struck off after repeatedly punching a patient in the face 'like a boxer' to fix his broken cheekbone. Professor Ninian Peckitt, 63, claimed he was attempting to reduce the fracture when he hit the patient up to ten times while a colleague held his head, a medical hearing heard. The patient, known as Patient A, had come to Ipswich Hospital in February 2012 after an industrial accident and been operated on by Prof Peckitt, who is a world-renowned facial surgeon. But he required a second procedure after falling off the bed in hospital which displaced his cheekbone. That's when Prof Peckitt struck the patient while he was under anesthetic. Prof Peckitt, an honorary locum consultant in oral and maxillo-facial surgery at Ipswich Hospital, claimed he 'digitally manipulated' the patient's face and denied any wrongdoing. But he was 'erased' from the medical register after the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) panel found that his fitness to practice was impaired. The hearing heard that Patient A could have been blinded by the force of the punches from Professor Peckitt. Chair Dr Ian Spafford said 'under no circumstances' would it be appropriate to apply enough force to potentially damage to the optic nerve. Erica Rapaport, a dental surgeon with more than 30 years experience, said she was told to hold the patient's head before the first punch. She said she was left in 'total shock' and there were gasps from colleagues in the operating theatre as she gave a harrowing account of the procedure. 'He made his hand into a fist and he hit the patient in the face on the left side of his cheek. 'His hand was about six inches away. I think the first time he punched the patient I wasn't holding him and it was then that I was instructed to do so by Prof Peckitt. 'He said that when the patient fell out of bed, the cheekbone which was already fractured was moved outwards so he was trying to re-position it without having to make further cuts to the face. 'He said this at least after the first punch. 'He applied about ten punches like a boxer. He took aim and then punched. 'The first punch was unexpected and then he explained what he was doing. He spoke as he punched again and again.' After graduating in medicine from the University of Sheffield in 1979, Mr Peckitt completed further training with the Royal College of Surgeons of England and became a Fellow of the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery in 2009. He has lectured on titanium implants and been published in medical journals so Miss Rapaport said she came into the hospital on her day off to take part in surgery and learn about his renowned techniques. Christopher Hamlet, representing the General Medical Council, previously told the hearing that the case wasn't based on the outcome

Summary: Patient came to Ipswich Hospital after industrial accident in July 2012 . Pioneering Professor Ninian Peckitt performed surgery but was needed again when patient fell from hospital bed and his cheekbone was displaced . Colleague told to hold patient's head as he applied ten punches like a boxer . Hearing heard the patient could have been blinded by force of the blows . Professor quit post days later and is now believed to be working in Dubai .


A former SS sergeant described how so many Jews were brought to the Auschwitz death camp at once that he was put on a 24-hour shift guarding the ramp where they disembarked from the trains. He told in chilling detail how cattle cars full of Jews were brought to the Auschwitz death camp, the people stripped of their belongings and then most led directly into gas chambers. Oskar Groening is being tried on 300,000 counts of accessory to murder, related to a period between May and July 1944 when around 425,000 Jews from Hungary were brought to the Auschwitz-Birkenau complex in Nazi-occupied Poland and most immediately gassed to death. During that period, so many trains were arriving that often two would have to wait with closed doors as the first was 'processed,' Groening testified at the Lueneburg state court.

Though he was more regularly assigned to the camp's Auschwitz I section, he said he guarded the Birkenau ramp three times, including one busy 24-hour shift. The main gas chambers were located at Birkenau. 'The capacity of the gas chambers and the capacity of the crematoria were quite limited. Someone said that 5,000 people were processed in 24 hours but I didn't verify this. I didn't know,' he said. 'For the sake of order we waited until train 1 was entirely processed and finished.' Auschwitz survivors describe their arrival as chaotic, with Nazi guards yelling orders, dogs barking and families being ripped apart. But Groening, 93, maintained the opposite, saying 'it was very orderly and not as strenuous' on the ramp at Birkenau. 'The process was the same as Auschwitz I. The only difference was that there were no trucks,' he said during the second day of his trial. 'They all walked - some in one direction some, in another direction... to

A second cruise has docked in San Diego with a massive outbreak of the noxious norovirus, which causes vomiting and diarrhea. Royal Caribbean's Legend of the Seas reported 135 passengers took ill before it docked Tuesday. Just one day prior, the Celebrity Infinity cruise liner docked in the Southern California city with 106 sick. Both ships are owned by Royal Caribbean. The Legend of the Seas was carrying 1,763 passengers and 747 crew on 15-night cruise from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Scroll down for video . The Legend of the Seas docked on Tuesday with 135 sick passengers aboard - the second Royal Caribbean ship infected in two days . The Celebrity Infinity, which docked Monday, reported 106 people who had fallen ill with norovirus . Crews immediately got to work scrubbing down and sanitizing both ships. Norovirus can live on surfaces for weeks, meaning other passengers could also be infected . The Celebrity Inifity, which carried 2,117 passengers and 964 crew, sailed the same path from Florida through the Mexican Riviera. One of the passengers on the Legend of the Seas, Brooke Fagan, described a day of horrible gastrointestinal problems aboard the ship. 'I ended up feeling very very sick, very lethargic, very run-down. couldn't really get out of bed. Ended up throwing up and just had major issues all day,' she told KFMB-TV. Fagan believes the virus came from the ship's port of call in Guatemala. She says she fell ill shortly after that stop. The crew aboard the Legend of the Seas quarantined 15 people who fell ill to their staterooms for 48 hours. Norovirus is an extremely contagious virus from contaminated water or food that can live on surfaces for weeks. It causes severe gastrointestinal distress. After both ships docked, crews went to work scrubbing down every inch of the cabins and common rooms. The CDC, which is investigating the matter, said: 'One CDC Vessel Sanitation Program environmental health officer and one epidemiologist have boarded the ship in San Diego, CA on April 13, 2015 to conduct an environmental health assessment and evaluate the outbreak and response activities. Both ships sailed from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to San Diego for 15-night cruises. The Celebrity Infinity is pictured here . 'Specimens have been collected and have been tested by CDC to determine the causative agent for this outbreak is norovirus.' The CDC also sent a crew aboard the Legend of the Seas. In a statement sent to Daily Mail Online, Celebrity Cruises said: 'Those affected by the short-lived illness responded well to over-the-counter medication being administered onboard the ship,' the company said. 'During the sailing, we took a number of steps to prevent the transmission of the illness, including implementing enhanced cleaning procedures and protocols, and using special cleaning products and disinfectants that are proven to kill norovirus to clean throughout the ship. 'Additionally, when Celebrity Infinity arrived to San Diego, California, today, we began an extensive and thorough sanitizing onboard the ship and within the cruise terminal, to help prevent any illness from affecting the subsequent sailing.' The statement continued

The return of Game of Thrones has sparked a surge in internet piracy with fans making more than 100,000 illegal downloads per day. More than seven million episodes from seasons one to four were illegally downloaded between February and April this year as fans of the hit HBO show caught up or re-capped before its eagerly-return on Sky Atlantic on Sunday night. Figures by anti-piracy and security firm Irdeto revealed overall illegal downloading of show is up 45 per cent year-on-year, jumping from 4.9 million for the same two-month period in 2014. Popular: Emilia Clarke as Daenerys Targaryen in the first series of the hit show. New figures reveal it is the most illegally downloaded show in the world . The top country for illegal downloads of Game of Thrones episodes was Brazil, which accounted for almost one million of them, followed by France in second, the US, Canada and the UK. The snapshot also revealed the top five TV shows illegally downloaded during the same period were period were The Walking Dead (5.7m), Breaking Bad (3.8m), Vikings (3.4m) and House of Cards (2.7m). Worldwide following: There were seven million illegal downloads of Game of Thrones, which features Natalie Dormer as Margaery Tyrel above, . Appeal: Fans of the hit HBO show have been rushing to download old episodes featuring Jack Gleeson as King Joffrey, left, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as Jaime Lannister, right . Lack of access for global audiences is used as a defence of pirates, as many of their favourite films and shows that debut in the US are delayed by weeks or months. So to make it easier for people to watch legally, HBO announced in March that the forthcoming season will air across 170 countries at the same time. This week the cable network also launched a new internet streaming service, HBO Now, in an attempt to curb piracy and recapture revenue, although it is only available in the US. The return of Game of Thrones, starring Nathalie Emmanuel as Missandei, above, has sparked a surge in internet piracy with fans making more than 100,000 illegal downloads per day . 'Piracy is a tidal wave that cannot be controlled, only managed,' said Irdeto in its report. 'But if people want to continue to have great TV shows like Game of Thrones, business models need to be protected.'

Summary: Fans downloaded seven million episodes between February and April . Illegal downloads beat favourites The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad . Season five of the hit HBO show premieres on Sky Atlantic on Sunday . Cable network launched internet streaming service to curb piracy .


It was thought that Edward Snowden was living in a secret location in Russia after his 2013 leaks made him a wanted man by the US Government – but it seems he’s actually set up shop in the middle of the White House. At least, that’s where the whistleblower is according to Google Maps. A business called Edward’s Snow Den has appeared in the US President’s headquarters thanks to the clever work of security consultant Bryan Seely. A business called Edward’s Snow Den has appeared in the US President’s headquarters . It is thought that Edward Snowden was living in a secret location in Russia . Nothing happens when the icon for it is clicked, but for a short while it was listed as a snowboard shop, open between 5am and 11pm, according to thenextweb.com. Several reviews appeared underneath the listing, including one which gave it a five star rating and described it as a ‘great source of classified information’. Mr Seely, from Seattle, told MailOnline that he created the fake listing during a TED Talk in Kirkland to demonstrate a flaw in Google Maps that could be exploited to cause more serious problems. He said: 'The point was to demonstrate how a year ago, I'd shown the same type of flaw on Google and they have not fixed it. I wanted wanted to show it's still broken, in a funny way. 'And anyone could do this without any special equipment or code.' It follows claims that at least three terror groups plotting attacks against Britain have changed their communication methods since the leaks by Snowden. The Al Qaeda-linked networks have altered their tactics since the fugitive stole intelligence files from GCHQ and the US National Security Agency, according to a report. Extremist websites have also moved to protect their digital communications by releasing encryption programmes for followers, making it harder for extremists to be tracked down. Evidence of the harm done to intelligence agencies across the world after the former CIA contractor leaked 1.7million classified documents in 2013 is compiled in the first comprehensive public analysis of the leaks by the Henry Jackson Society security think-tank. The Snowden files revealed details about covert attempts by agencies to view citizens' private information by gathering internet histories, emails, text and call records and passwords. Now the Henry Jackson Society has found that at least three Al Qaeda affiliates are known to have altered their communications. The think-tank has also found other groups using human couriers instead of email and mobile phones. Edward Snowden is being ‘exploited’ under a deal he made with the Russians to guarantee him asylum, a leading spy analyst has claimed. Mr Snowden may have been told not to speak out on Russian surveillance but continue attacking America in order to save himself from jail in the US, Andrei Soldatov said. He accused the former US spy of not being ‘transparent’ and said he was being ‘secretive’ about his arrangements with the Russian authorities. After Mr Snowden, 31, revealed himself in June 2013 as the civilian CIA worker who stole

Summary: Edward's Snow Den was listed for a time as a snowboarding business . When clicked on it the opening hours were revealed as 5am to 11pm . One review for it said that it was a 'great source of classified information' Whistleblower Edward Snowden is thought to be hiding out in Russia .


Not content to just sell other manufacturers phones and mobile plans, Carphone Warehouse is launching a network of its own. Called iD, the mobile network will launch in May and offer free roaming in 22 countries including the US, Australia and across Europe. The firm's boss told MailOnline the aim is to offer features that customers want, including 12-month contracts and affordable 4G handsets. Carphone Warehouse's mobile network launches in May and will offer free roaming in 22 countries, including the US, Australia and across Europe. The firm's boss told MailOnline the aim is to offer features that customers want, including 12-month contracts and affordable 4G handsets . When iD launches next month it will offer the most comprehensive range of roaming countries, ahead of Three with 18 countries and Lyca on 17. Carphone Warehouse's iD will use Three's existing infrastructure to offer these networks and plans. 'Carphone Warehouse is unique because we speak to more customers across the networks than anyone else. This gives us a unique customer insight,' UK and Ireland chief executive Graham Stapleton told MailOnline. The iD network (logo pictured) will use Three's existing infrastructure to offer networks and plans . 'They tell us what could be better across the whole of the industry and iD is based on that insight; giving customers what they want. 'We're building this network from scratch and are using the latest technology to connect and build iD, and because tech is moving so quickly we've been able to come up with something innovative and different.' He said that at launch Carphone Warehouse is creating a platform for the network and in 'two to three months' time [it] will launch products that no-one else will have.' But Mr Stapleton wouldn't reveal what these will be in order to maintain a competitor advantage over rival networks. He continued that the aim is to have all the handsets it currently sells available on the network. 'The reason we are putting 12-month contracts and deals out there is that there is no-one else offering such 12 month contracts and our customers said it was a feature they wanted,' he continued. iD won't the only network to offer 12-month contracts, though. Vodafone, for example, has a range of contracts that start at £9.50 a month. When iD launches it will offer the most comprehensive range of roaming countries, shown in the graph above. This will put it ahead of Three with 18 countries and Lyca on 17 . Carphone Warehouse's boss Graham Stapleton said the iD website will launch tomorrow, where people can register their interest. The full range of plans will be announced as they become available, but an example offers the Samsung A3 (shown) on a 12-month 4G plan with 300 mins, 5000 texts and 1 GB data for £19.50 . In terms of next steps, Mr Stapleton said the website will launch tomorrow where people can register their interest, and the network as a platform will launch in May - although he didn't give an exact date. Two months after it announced it was

Summary: The iD network launches in May and will offer free roaming in 22 countries . It will offer 12 and 24-month plans with a focus on providing affordable 4G . Carphone Warehouse will use Three's existing network to offer the plans . It follows the announcement of Sky's standalone mobile network on O2 .

The Pittsburgh Steelers ended last season without Le'Veon Bell and it seems they'll start the new one without their stud running back too. Bell will miss the first three games for abusing the league's substance abuse policy and he will also be fined a game cheque. Bell was stopped in his Chevrolet Camaro last August after a police officer noticed a strong smell of marijuana. Le'Veon Bell will appeal the NFL's decision to ban him for the first three games of the season . LeGarrette Blount will miss the first game of the new season after being charged with marijuana possession . Former Steeler LeGarrette Blount and a female passenger were also in the car and the pair were charged with marijuana possession. Bell was also charged with a DUI. Blount - who was waived by Pittsburgh, joined the Patriots in November and went on to win the Super Bowl - was banned for the first game of the season earlier this week. Bell plans to appeal the decision, says ESPN's Adam Schefter who broke the story. Bell had 2,215 all-purpose yards, 11 touchdowns and made the All-Pro team last season. The Steelers signed veteran running back DeAngelo Williams in free agency and he looks likely to cover for 23-year-old Bell.

Summary: Bell has been banned after being found in possession of a 20 gram bag of marijuana and was hit with a DUI charge last August . A key piece of the Steelers offense, his absence during the play-off game with the Ravens was a key factor in the Steelers defeat . And they will have to start the season without the 23-year-old running back . LeGarrette Blount was in the vehicle with Bell and he was banned for the first game of the season earlier this week .

A Briton jailed in Burma for using an image of the Buddha to promote his bar has been ‘abandoned’ by the Foreign Office, according to human rights campaigners. Phil Blackwood was sentenced to two-and-a-half years with hard labour by a Burmese court last month after posting the mocked-up image of the Buddha wearing DJ headphones on Facebook.

Human rights campaigners claim he has been 'abandoned' by the Foreign Office . The 32-year-old bar manager, who has dual New Zealand and British nationality, was found guilty of insulting religion along with the bar’s Burmese owner and another manager, despite apologising profusely for posting the picture. All three were given the same sentence. MPs and human rights campaigners said Mr Blackwood, who is married with a young daughter, is enduring appalling conditions in the notorious Insein prison. They also claimed the British Government had ‘turned its back’ on Mr Blackwood, who lived in Middlesbrough until his family moved to New Zealand when he was four. The 32-year-old bar manager, who has dual New Zealand and British nationality, was found guilty of insulting religion because of this picture . In a Commons answer, a Foreign Office Minister admitted he was not aware Mr Blackwood was a British citizen. Last night, his father Brian insisted that the family had informed the British authorities of his son’s dual nationality after his arrest. Although New Zealand diplomats were taking the lead, he said that the family expected the Foreign Office to exert pressure on Burma. Middlesbrough MP Andy McDonald said: 'Philip Blackwood has been unjustly imprisoned for an honest mistake for which he has already issued a heartfelt apology. 'As a British citizen, rather than turning their back on Mr Blackwood, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office should be pulling every available leaver to secure his immediate and unconditional release so that he can return to his family.' There is international concern over a surge of religious nationalism in Burma, ruled until recently by a military junta. A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesman said: ‘Our ambassador in Burma made clear that we were following the case closely when he raised it with the Burmese Minister of the Presidency. ‘Our embassy in Rangoon has provided advice and support to the New Zealanders on Mr Blackwood’s case.’

It was a cunning plot to steal more than £1.5million in gold bullion and jewellery. Using a flat-pack wooden cabinet as a ‘Trojan Horse’, one of the thieves was to hide inside. The gang then planned to put real money in a briefcase and show it to a jeweller at a pre-arranged meeting, before placing it on the floor.
