A young mother is desperately trying to raise money for an expensive cancer treatment which could buy her more time with her family. Louisa Steckenreuter, 35, a mother to two young children, Darcy, 13, and Tilda, 2, was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a rare form of cancer last year. Now to have a chance at accessing potentially life-saving treatment the woman from Dulwich Hill, in Sydney's inner-west, needs to raise $100,000. 'What we’re hoping is that it gives me longer to spend time with my kids and watch them grow up. And grow old with husband like we had planned' Louisa Steckenreuter is desperately trying to raise money for an expensive cancer treatment which could buy her more time with her family . 'I was diagnosed on the 23rd of June last year,' Ms Steckenreuter told Daily Mail Australia. 'I had pain my shoulder, I sort of regularly had muscle pain in my neck and shoulder anyway but then it just got incredibly intense and for a while they thought it was something called a shoulder impingement,' she continued. 'Then they did an x-ray and saw that the bone was very unhealthy and they did a biopsy and found out it was cancer.' Since then the mother-of-two has undergone eight rounds of intravenous chemotherapy, which while it helped also made her very unwell. 'My oncologist has recommended I try this new drug. It’s called Keytruda', Ms Steckenreuter said. It works differently to chemotherapy, which attacks all the cells in the system, even healthy ones. Ms Steckenreuter, 35, a mother to two young children, Darcy, 13, and Tilda, 2, was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a rare form of cancer last year . The mum-of-two was diagnosed after she went in for an x-ray on a sore shoulder . 'I was diagnosed on the 23rd of June last year,' Ms Steckenreuter told Daily Mail Australia . 'Whereas the Keytruda works with your body’s immune system and recognises the fact that the body’s immune system is able to fight the cancer cells if they realise the cells are bad,' Ms Steckenreuter explained. However the drawback is the medication costs $6000 a month, and is not subsidised on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. It is usually used to treat patients with advanced melanomas. Since the diagnosis she has undergone eight rounds of intravenous chemotherapy, which while it helped also made her very unwell . Ms Steckenreuter turned to a new drug, Keytruda, to help fight off the deadly disease. Her doctors believe it may help her . Ms Steckenreuter said her oncologist, Professor David Thomas, said he believes the treatment might work for her, and others in a similar situation . 'The reason he thinks it will work is that sarcoma and melanoma cancer cells are built in a similar way and respond in a similar way,' she said. 'What we’re hoping is that it gives me longer to spend time with my kids and watch them grow up. 'And grow old with husband like we had planned,' Ms Steckenreuter said. 'The reason he thinks it will work is

Summary: Louisa Steckenreuter was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma last June . The mother-of-two, 35, is fundraising to access expensive treatment . A drug called Keytruda could buy her more time with her husband and kids . It costs $6000 a month and is not on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme .

Kenya has bombed two Al-Shabaab camps in Somalia in the first major military response to last week's attack by the militant group on a Kenyan university that left 148 people dead. Air force jets blitzed compounds in Gondodowe and Ismail, both in the Gedo region bordering Kenya on Sunday, a Kenya Defence Forces source said today. Cloud cover made it difficult to establish how much damage the bombings caused or estimate the death toll. 'We targeted the two areas because according to information we have, those (Al-Shabaab) fellows are coming from there to attack Kenya,' the source said. Kenyan army spokesman, Colonel David Obonyo, later said: 'The two targets were hit and taken out, the two camps are destroyed.' Scroll down for video . Slow response: Kenyan elite troops were called in to aid in the pre-dawn massacre where 148 people were killed, but did not arrive until just before 2pm . Nation in mourning: A woman cries after she has viewed the body of a relative, one of the 148 people killed in Thursday's attack on a university, at Chiromo funeral home, Nairobi . This picture of a classroom strewn with dead bodies has emerged revealing the true horror of the massacre . Gunmen from the Al Qaeda-aligned group killed 148 people on Thursday when they stormed the Garissa University College campus, some 200km (120 miles) from the Somali border. Kenya has struggled to stop the flow of Al-Shabaab militants and weapons across its porous 700km border with Somalia. Al-Shabaab militants have killed more than 400 people in Kenya since April 2013. An African Union peacekeeping force that includes Kenyan troops carried out arrests and seized ammunition in an Al-Shabaab camp in Gondodowe last August. News of the bombings came after it was claimed Kenyan special forces took at least seven hours to respond to the brutal massacre at Garissa University. Elite troops were called in from Nairobi to Garissa, some 225miles from the capital, to aid in the pre-dawn attack on the university, but soldiers did not arrive until the afternoon, local media claims. The critique comes as one of the four gunmen responsible for the brutal mass-murders has been identified as a lawyer son of a Kenyan government official. Government representatives have defended the long response time, comparing fighting terrorism with being a goalkeeper as 'they only remember the one you missed'. Paraded: The naked bodies of the alleged attackers were driven around Garissa before the pickup truck parked at a primary school . In the primary school playground, hundreds gathered to look at the bodies of the men accused of being the attackers . Kenya's elite Recce Company in Nairobi were called in as soon as the first reports of Thursday's attack emerged, which took place around 5.30am at Garissa University College. However, as troops were flown in from the capital, help did not arrive at the scene until just before 2pm, Kenyan newspaper Nation reports. 'This is negligence on a scale that borders on the criminal,' the Nation wrote in its editorial on Sunday, recalling how survivors

The former prime minister also suggested he has left British politics behind, declaring that he has 'done British' and is now more interested in working at a 'global level'.

Since leaving Number Ten in 2007, he has established up a complex network of companies, which make it impossible to calculate his exact earnings. He rarely discusses his wealth, though he has dismissed reports he has amassed £100 million as 'greatly exaggerated', and his allies say he has given millions of pounds to charity. Mr Blair has suggested that in fact, he is worth less than £20million, though he and his family are thought to own property worth at least £30million.

Deep in rural South Africa, a terrifying white supremacist movement is brainwashing teenagers to rise up in defiance of Nelson Mandela's hard-fought dream of a Rainbow Nation. The far-right Afrikaner Resistance Movement (AWB) is training thousands of youths in military-style bootcamps northwest of Johannesburg to fight for a separate white state. By day, they are pushed to their physical limits with assault courses and self-defence lessons, all the while being told of the danger from 'the millions of blacks trying to kill you'. Then by night, they are subjected to vile racist indoctrination which many hoped had disappeared from South Africa for good. Scroll down for video .

For Dion Bernard, a 15-year-old boy enrolled on the latest camp, the seeds of old hatred are already cemented in his mind. 'In the Bible it says black people must live with black people and white people must live with white people,' he says. 'You cannot mix nations. I don't have black friends. If they come to my side and ask to speak to me, I will say no. Or I will turn my back on them and walk away.' Dion comes from a deeply religious family, part of a small but determined minority of Afrikaner people who still yearn for apartheid-era politics. He is one more than 2,000 teenagers who have attend Kommando core, an AWB 'endurance' camp for white youngsters, over the last two years.

'So you have to implement certain systems to survive and that's why we say the only system we can go now for is not apartheid. That's second prize. First prize is freedom.'

The two have been together since October. However they were both terminated after the director, Barbara Twachtman, heard rumors about the two and asked Pfeiffer whether she was seeing Bardier . 'I feel like if a person can do their job, gay, straight or whatever, they should be able to work and do their job that they love to do,' Pfieffer told Click Orlando.

A 12-year-old girl was tied up, beaten and raped for by seven ISIS different fighters when she was kidnapped from her home in the Iraq region of Yazidi, a shocking new report has revealed. The suffering of Jalila - whose name has been changed - is just one of a number of harrowing accounts given by women who have escaped captured by the brutal Islamist organisation which is taking over swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq. The study undertaken by Human Rights Watch found fighters were kidnapping women and children as young as eight, forcing them to marry and convert to Islam and raping them repeatedly – sometimes picking their victims’ names out of a hand in a sick lottery.

Of those who managed to escape, many feel suicidal after their traumatic ordeal and need better medical and psychological support, says Human Rights Watch. Some tried to kill themselves while in captivity to avoid rape . Their terrifying campaign of systematic rape was tantamount to war crimes - and possibly crimes against humanity, the report adds. Jalila,who managed to escape her tormentors, told the charity she was taken with seven members of her family when Arab men stormed her village north of Sinjar in August 2014. After a few weeks she was taken to a house in Syria that housed other abducted young Yazidi women and girls, where the men would come and select us.

Human Rights Watch has collected the accounts of 20 women and girls who escaped from ISIS, which they say shows a system of organised rape and sexual assault, sexual slavery and forced marriage – acts that constitute war crimes. A 12-year-old girl (not pictured) told investigators she was raped for three days by a brutal Islamist militant . Another victim told Human Rights Watch how she had tried to kill herself so that she wouldn't be raped again .

'There's never an endorsement of the attack but nothing else on the day can be considered even slightly violent.' 'I don't even think it's right to apologise for these individuals because every protest that you watch, there will be an obligatory that one idiot will smash a shop window.' Foxtons is widely considered as a sign of gentrification and its presence is an indicates that an area either is or has the potential to become very affluent. The Reclaim Brixton event was planned to demonstrate against the rising property prices in London which the group believes is 'displacing the city's communities'. A statement on the Facebook page for the event said: 'The fight against gentrification starts here! Brixton is widely known for its vibrancy, which is another word for social and cultural diversity. Keeping watch: There is still a 'police presence' outside the vandalised store in Brixton, South London following the incident . Defence: Sympathisers and Brixton locals used Twitter to condemn the attention being given to the 'isolated' act of vandalism . Break-in: The Metropolitan Police (pictured) also said

There is a problem with England's top order and it is not an easy one to solve. Don't get me wrong. England's top three are exceptional players but the issue is that they are very one-paced and when the West Indies bowling was so disciplined, that became a problem on the first morning of the first Test. It is OK batting the way England did if they had got through to lunch on 60 without loss, but they will be exposed against better teams than West Indies, like Australia, if they crash to 34 for three in the first session as they did here. As a player I would never worry about the pace runs came as long as they came. You are there to win games. But now I appreciate the need to entertain as well and the way the top three go about things might become a bit monotonous. Joe Root (left) and Ian Bell (right) put on 177 runs for the fourth wicket on day one in Antigua . Bell raises his bat to the crowd after scoring his 22nd Test match century at the Sir Viv Richards Stadium . OK, if they stay in the runs will come and England supporters will be happy but it should be remembered that England have promised to play a certain way. You have to give Jonathan Trott huge credit for battling his way back to Test cricket but a bit of a risk has been taken with him because if it doesn't come off it will look like another big decision that England have got wrong. As for captain Alastair Cook, he has been working hard with Graham Gooch and has opened his shoulder up a bit, but the pitched up delivery continues to get him out. Ben Stokes was unbeaten on 71 at the close of play as England reached 341 for five . Bell and Root lifted England's run rate and got them out of a hole having fallen to 34 for three . Gary Ballance has got this big backwards movement so to get him driving, and dismissing him the way the West Indies did, represented a sucker punch. Then you looked at the way Ian Bell and Joe Root went about their business and they were just that bit busier. You can't bowl one way to them to dry up their scoring shots because they both drive and they both pull well. Thanks to those two and Ben Stokes, this turned out to be very much England's day. I was delighted that Stokes batted so well on his return to the side. He made no excuses when he was left out of the side and said he deserved to be dropped. I like that, and I like a player like him coming in at No 6 and taking the game away from the opposition. Alastair Cook is bowled through the gate by Kemar Roach for 11 on the first morning in Antigua . Jonathan Trott's first Test in 18 months ended in a third-ball duck as he

Summary: England close day one of first Test against West Indies on 341 for five . Ian Bell, Joe Root and Ben Stokes all played well to lead the recovery . England's top three were all dismissed cheaply to leave England in a hole . When England were 34 for three I received a lot of comments about my supposed motivational skills. I replied that I only spoke to the middle order . PAUL NEWMAN'S day one report from Antigua .

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce believes filling your home ground is paramount to Premier League clubs - with the Hammers announcing their new season-ticket structure ahead of the move to the Olympic Stadium. Karren Brady, vice-chairman of West Ham, announced during the week that the club would be making significant cuts to their current pricing as the move is being offset against increased television revenue. The cheapest season ticket at Upton Park is £620 but there will be £289 seats on offer from the 2016-17 season - the club's first in the 54,000-seater Olympic Stadium. West Ham's season tickets will cost as little as £289 when the club move to the Olympic Stadium next year . Manager Sam Allardyce says filling the stadium is the most important thing for any football club . West Ham's vice-chairman Karren Brady visited the club's future home in Stratford on Tuesday . And Allardyce believes performing in front of a sold-out crowd is something that should not go unappreciated as the other 19 Premier League clubs are now being pushed to follow West Ham's lead. 'The most important thing at a football club is to fill the stadium,' he said. 'I think filling the stadium is the ultimate for the success of the team. Obviously it's not from a revenue base like it used to be. 'The revenue base for a football club used to be the sustainability of the football club in my years before the Premier League and before Sky made it a worldwide brand. A view of the Olympic Stadium on Tuesday ahead of West Ham's switch to the 54,000-capacity arena . 'It's about creating the atmosphere in a stadium that thrills not only the fans there enjoying the atmosphere, but the players who respond to that . 'To make sure everywhere you go in the Premier League maintains a high level of attendance and selling out your stadium has to be the ultimate goal for any Premier League football club, for me. An artist's impression of what the Olympic Stadium will look like during a West Ham match . 'What we've announced has to be the best piece of business, for me, seen in the Premier League for a long, long time. 'Hopefully everybody at West Ham football club, particularly the fan, will come and enjoy, as Karren says, a fantastic facility for less. That will only encourage future young West Ham supporters to be West Ham supporters.'

Summary: West Ham move to the Olympic Stadium ahead of the 2016-17 season . Karen Brady announced reduced season ticket prices ahead of move . Cheapest price will be £289, down from the current cheapest of £620 . Sam Allardyce says filing the stadium is most important thing for a club .


When Instagram users try to search for the aubergine, or eggplant, emoji hashtag no posts appear - even if there are posts tagged in this way . Last night Instagram rolled out its latest update that lets users create and search for hashtags using emoji. But it appears not all emoji hashtags are created equal. When people try to search for the aubergine, or eggplant, emoji using a hashtag on the app, no posts appear - even though there are posts that have been tagged with it. And it is believe to be because the emoji is commonly used to represent male genitalia and may be attached to images containing nudity. The anomaly was discovered by Katie Notopoulos from Buzzfeed. Emoji hashtags were released as part of Instagram's latest app update, which also added three new filters and a redesigned Love button. Hashtags can now be used with single emoji, multiple emoji or can be combined with text in post, comments, captions and when using the Explore tab. Instagram told MailOnline it is not commenting on the eggplant anomaly. But, given that the emoji could potentially be tagged onto images that contain nudity, it is likely the app is restricting its use under its community guidelines. It also appears the hashtag itself isn't banned across the app, instead it just can't be searched for. Instagram's guidelines explain: 'We know that there are times when people might want to share nude images that are artistic or creative in nature, but for a variety of reasons we don’t allow nudity on Instagram. 'This includes photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks. 'It also includes some photos of female nipples, but photos of post-mastectomy scarring and women actively breastfeeding are allowed. Nudity in photos of paintings and sculptures is OK, too.' Ms Notopoulos has even created a hashtag called #freetheeggplant. Despite issuing an apparent ban on searching for the aubergine, searches for emojis such as the gun (left) and a syringe (right) are allowed. Instagram doesn't ban pictures of guns, although it doesn't allow the sale of guns. In terms of the needle, many images posted using this hashtag include tattoos and giving blood . Following yesterday's update, Instagram users can post, explore other people's photos and interact with captions using emoji. Emoji are popular in the Instagram community, with nearly half of Instagram captions (pictured on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's page) already featuring the small pictures . But she also noted that despite issuing an apparent blanket ban on searching for the aubergine emoji, searches for emojis such as the gun and a needle and syringe are allowed. Instagram doesn't ban pictures of guns on the app, although it doesn't allow the sale of guns. In terms of the needle emoji, many images posted using this hashtag include tattoos and giving blood. However, if an image was to be posted of a person using drugs or guns in an illegal way Instagram would remove it. From sending countless 'poops' to adding hearts to sentimental messages, your choice

Summary: When people search hashtags for the aubergine emoji no posts appear . This is despite the fact photos have been tagged using this image . Vegetable, also known as eggplant, is often used to represent male genitals . Instagram bans nudity on the site under its Community Guidelines .

Two mistakes from Rangers keeper Robby McCrorie handed Celtic the Glasgow Cup as they clinched the trophy for the fourth time in eight seasons at Hampden. Josh Kerr took advantage when the Scotland under-17 star came for a corner and missed it to put the Hoops in front before McCrorie dropped a Mark Hill free kick over the line. With Old Firm bosses Ronny Deila and Stuart McCall looking on, it was the former who left happiest after seeing Tommy McIntyre’s side record a deserved victory. Celtic U17 players celebrate after beating Rangers 2-0 to win the Glasgow Cup at Hampden . Celtic goalscorer Josh Kerr holds the trophy in the air as he celebrates on Tuesday evening . Both teams line up ahead of the match which was played behind closed doors at Hampden Park . And as only local schoolkids and their parents were allowed in following trouble among fans at the last three finals, the match passed without any major off-field problems. Rangers took the game to their opponents but early headers from Aiden Wilson and Ross McCrorie ran past either post. Celtic hit back and began to dictate play, sitting further up the park the more time wore on and pressing well for an opener. Nine days after the Parkhead club’s first team was denied a clear penalty in the Scottish Cup against Inverness, their youths had another good claim. But Kyle Bradley’s handball in the box from a Regan Hendry shot went unnoticed by referee Stephen Graham before the midfielder fired the rebound straight at Robby McCrorie. Calvin Miller then shot just over from 20 yards, Hendry was denied again by McCrorie and Miller screwed another long-range drive inches wide as the Hoops looked more likely to net. Kerr fires the ball into the net to give Celtic the lead against Rangers in the 74th minute . Kerr slides along the Hampden pitch in celebration after putting Celtic ahead . Mark Hill (third left) is congratulated by his team-mates after doubling Celtic's lead . Just when it seemed they would get themselves in front, Hendry nodded past from close range when Miller picked him out with a great right-wing cross and it was a poor miss. Rangers were being restricted to playing on the counter and offered little in attack, with a low Ross Lyon shot that ran tamely wide being as close as they came. It took some strong defending to keep them level at the break too, with two last-gasp tackles from Wilson and Ross McCrorie being just enough to deny Hendry. Celtic kept pressing after the restart, with Theo Archibald firing a volley over and Rory Currie’s low attempt flashing off target. They almost paid for their slackness in front of goal, with Gers’ Sam Jamieson forcing a terrific tip over the bar from keeper Ross Doohan.

Professor Stephen Hawking: world-renowned physicist, best-selling author - and now he's shown off his musical talents as well. One of the world's greatest scientists has covered Monty Python's classic Galaxy Song, taking listeners on a journey out of the Milky Way. The author of A Brief History Of Time can be seen in the music video whizzing through space in his wheelchair, while the footage is interspersed with scenes of the Monty Python live shows. Scroll down for video . British physicist Stephen Hawking has sung Monty Python's Galaxy Song (clip from the video shown). The song is being released digitally and on vinyl for Record Store Day 2015. It is a cover of the song from 1983 film Monty Python's Meaning of Life. Professor Hawking, 73, appeared on film alongside Professor Brian Cox . Professor Hawking can be heard singing the show's famous song, which is being released digitally this week, and available on vinyl this weekend as part of Record Store Day 2015. In the video, Professor Hawking ‘runs over’ Professor Brian Cox before taking to the sky and making his trip through the universe. The video is interspersed with clips of Monty Python's recent live shows. It is a recreation of the song from the 1983 film Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, when Eric Idle originally took viewers on a journey through the cosmos. Interestingly, much of the science in the song is right - or at least, fairly accurate, with a few exceptions for artistic reasons. For example, the lyrics state that Earth is ‘revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.’ Measured in nautical miles, this is true, but the current estimate near the equator is actually 1,040mph (1,670km/h). It is also stated that ‘the sun is the source of all our power,’ which fails to consider that geothermal energy and the moon both also play a part in our planet’s life. Our galaxy is correctly said to have a hundred billion stars, though, while its size - a hundred thousand light-years across - is correctly stated. Towards the end of the song, the speed of light is said to be 12 million miles per minute - which is pretty close to the actual figure of 11.16 million miles. Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown . And things seem hard or tough . And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft . And you feel that you've had quite enough . Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving . And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour . That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned . A sun that is the source of all our power . The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see . Are moving at a million miles a day . In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour . Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way' Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars . It's a hundred thousand light years side to side . It

A search for a sewage pipe beneath an Italian restaurant yielded two centuries worth of history. Lucian Faggiano bought the building in Lecce, Puglia in the south of Italy and had planned to turn it into a trattoria - but renovations were put on hold when he discovered a toilet on the site was blocked. And while attempting to fix the toilet he dug into a Messapian tomb built 2,000 years ago, a Roman granary, a Franciscan chapel, and even etchings thought to be made by the Knights Templar. Scroll down for 3D tour . Lucian Faggiano's dream of opening a restaurant was scuppered when a dig to find a blocked sewage point yielded some 2,000 years of hidden history, including vast rooms and pottery (shown in this image that features Mr Faggiano left and his son) In a bid to stop the sewage backing up, Mr Faggiano, 60, and his two sons dug a trench and instead of isolating the offending pipe found underground corridors and rooms beneath the property on 56 Via Ascanio Grandi,The New York Times reported. The search for the pipe began at the turn of the millennium. Lecce, at the heel of Italy’s ‘boot’ was once a crossroads in the Mediterranean and an important trading post for the Romans. But the first layers of the city date to the time of Homer, according to local historian Mario De Marco. Eight years after it was meant to open as a restaurant, the building has been turned into Museum Faggiano (pictured) and a number of staircases allow visitors to travel down through time to visit the ancient underground chambers discovered by the family . He imagined it would take a week to dig down and fix the plumbing beneath the building, but instead, the DIY mission led to the discovery of a Messapian tomb, a Roman granary (pictured left), a Franciscan chapel - and even etchings from the Knights Templar. An ancient room beneath the modern building is shown right . The search for the pipe (shown in this image of Mr Faggiano and his son) began at the turn of the millennium when no-one could have predicted the treasures hidden beneath the floorboards, which revealed a subterranean world dating back to before the birth of Jesus . It is not unusual for religious relics to turn up in fields or in the middle of the city itself, which has a mixture of old architecture . For example, a century ago, a Roman amphitheatre was recently found beneath a marble column bearing the statue of Lecce’s patron saint, Orontius in the main square and recently a Roman temple was found under a car park. ‘Whenever you dig a hole, centuries of history come out,’ said Severo Martini, a member of the City Council. Years of excavations have seen the emergence of Roman devotional bottles, ancient vases and a ring with Christian symbols as well as hidden frescoes and medieval pieces.

An infertile woman convinced her new husband to repeatedly rape her 15-year-old daughter so she could have another child. Misty Machinshok, 33, has been jailed for 15 to 30 years for the abuse in which she 'coached' the pair on the best positions to conceive, and held her daughter's hand 'the first few times'. She planned to tell friends and family that the teenager got pregnant with a stranger at a house party in their home town of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Her 29-year-old husband Gary Machinshok, who she met through a website called onlinebootycall.com, will be sentenced this month after pleading no contest to raping the child 'every few days' throughout 2013. Jailed: Misty Machinshok, 33, pleaded no contest to all charges for convincing her new husband to rape her 15-year-old daughter. The court heard it was a plot to have another child, as she is no longer fertile . He also admitted to sexually assaulting her 11-year-old sister but struck a plea deal which means he cannot be charged for it. Prosecutor Nancy Violi called the crime 'the most heinous' she had dealt with in 14 years on the job. The rape came to light when one of the girl's friends alerted a teacher who called police, Violi said. Both victims are now in foster care. Awaiting sentencing: Her husband Gary Machinshok, 29, whom she met on onlinebootycall.com, has admitted raping the girl 'every few days' in 2013, and sexually assaulting her 11-year-old sister . It is not clear why Mrs Machinshok is no longer able to have children. In January, she pleaded guilty to rape, aggravated assault, conspiracy, child endangerment and other counts. Defense attorney Mary Deady conceded that her client had made 'a lot of bad decisions,' but said she was pleading guilty to protect the child from having to testify. Mrs Machinshok' father, Bill Englert, also leaped to her defense to say her involvement in the rape was 'over-emphasized' by prosecutors, according to Inquisitr.

A Liberal mayor who wrote a glowing reference for a convicted rapist asking for him to be spared jail is developing a program to teach young women about 'risky behaviour'. Eastern Sydney's Waverley mayor Sally Betts wrote a reference for Luke Lazarus 'out of loyalty to the family' after he raped an 18-year-old woman in an alleyway outside his father's SOHO nightclub, in Sydney. Now the controversial councillor is developing 'a new risky behaviour education program to try and help young women understand and better deal with being in vulnerable situations'. In an interview with the Wentworth Courier she referenced the behaviour of Lazarus's victim. The Mayor of three years said: 'By the sheer fact of (the assault) happening at a nightclub and alcohol is involved, (means people are) open to the possibility of risky behaviour, so I'm saying let's try and close that loophole.' Daily Mail Australia has contacted Cr Betts for comment. Waverley mayor Sally Betts wrote a reference for convicted rapist Luke Lazarus and is now developing 'a new risky behaviour education program' for young women . Cr Betts is reportedly developing the program for school girls alongside Waverley Action for Youth Services (WAYS) and the police. Lazarus, a 23-year-old former private school boy, was jailed for at least three years on March 27 after he raped the teenage virgin in an alleyway. During Lazarus's trial, the jury was told that he boasted to the victim he could introduce her to the DJ at his father's club, the SOHO, before he ushered her into the alleyway. The court heard that during the assault he pulled her stockings down, ignored a second request by her to leave and said in an authoritative tone 'put your f***ing hands on the wall, get on the floor and arch your back'. When it was over Lazarus told her to add her name to a list of conquests in his phone that he had. In a text message to a friend the afternoon after the attack, in the early hours of May 12, 2013, Lazarus said: 'I honestly have zero recollection of calling you ... Was a sick night – took a chick's virginity.' During Luke Lazarus's rape trial, the jury were told he boasted to the victim he could introduce her to the DJ at the SOHO, before he ushered her into an alleyway . Luke Lazarus was sentenced on March 27 for raping an 18-year-old at his father's SOHO nightclub on May 12, 2013 . His friend replied: 'bahahahaha nice popping does cherries ... ' Lazarus replied: '... it's a pretty gross story tell ya later'. In sentencing him, Judge Sarah Huggett found the offence was not premeditated but said he was reckless. 'I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt he must have realised there was a possibility she wasn't consenting,' she told Sydney's District Court. But she said he was 'not caring in one way or another whether she was consenting'. Sally Betts has been the Mayor of Waverley for three years in Sydney's eastern suburbs . Cr Betts said in the

Winemakers have been accused of fighting new EU regulations on revealing the calorie count on their labels because it will reveal that a bottle of red has the same as six digestives. The European Parliament is set to vote to close the current loophole, which sees all alcoholic drinks exempt from having to reveal nutritional value on their labels, next week. However, European winemakers argue that introducing nutritional labelling would lead to an intolerable rise in production costs, and hit smaller vineyards. Closing the loophole: The European Parliament is set to vote on whether alcoholic beverages must include calorie counts on their labels . Under current EU regulations, producers of alcoholic drinks are not obliged to reveal the nutritional value of their products on the label. According to The Times, winemakers fear a fall in sales if consumers realise that 'a bottle of red wine has about the same amount of calories as half a packet of digestive biscuits'. But representatives of the European wine industry say the regulation would be devastating for smaller producers. As sugar and calorie levels varies with each vintage, this wound mean annual tests to provide accurate nutritional labelling. 'Obligatory nutritional labelling would lead to an intolerable rise in production costs,' said Aurora Abad, policy officer for the Comité Européen des Entreprises Vins, the wine industry's European body, told The Times. Fighting back: Winemakers say that introducing nutritional labelling would mean annual tests to extablish calories of each vintage, leading to a rise in production costs that would mainly hit smaller vineyards . Ms Abad also said that as the nutritional value of a bottle of wine changes with age, the calories on the label would not be the same down the line. The European Commission was set to vote on whether to force producers of alcoholic drinks to display nutritional value on their labels in December, but the vote was delayed. Consumer and health organisations who have been pushing for a close of the loophole for alcoholic beverages say it's crucial to include calories on wine, beer and spirits so consumers can make 'informed choices'. 'At present consumers can have complete information about what is in a bottle of milk or fruit juice, but not a bottle of whisky or beer. We consider this unacceptable,' Monique Goyens, director-general of the European Consumer Organisation, said in a letter to the commission seen by the Times. This follows last year's calls from Britain's Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) that labelling is needed in order to tackle obesity. Counting calories: Consumer and health organisations want wine producers to include calories on their bottles so drinkers can make 'informed choices' RSPH chief executive Shirley Cramer said: 'Calorie labelling has been successfully introduced for a wide range of food products and there is now a clear public appetite for this information to be extended to alcohol to help individuals make informed choices. 'With two in three adults overweight or obese, and given that adults who drink get approximately 10% of their calories from alcohol, this move could make a major

Michael Owen has warned Raheem Sterling that life after Liverpool may not be all he hopes it to be after the England youngster revealed this week that he had rejected a £100,000-a-week deal at Anfield. Owen, like Sterling, started his senior career at Liverpool but eventually moved on to Real Madrid in 2004. But he says the 20-year-old is not good enough to make the same move to the Spanish capital. Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City are all said to be interested in the hottest property in English football, but Liverpool are determined not to let one of their star players leave, even with his contract expiring at the end of next season.

Owen feels that Sterling is in a great place to develop, having done the same during his time at Anfield . Owen feels that Sterling is in a great place to develop, but argues that it doesn't mean the youngster owes the club anything. 'There is no question he (Sterling) has been at the perfect place to learn his trade and he has been managed fantastically well so far,' Owen said. 'But that shouldn't mean he should be indebted to the extent of feeling he owes everything to the club. If the club created top players from nothing then everyone would make it. 'A club is quick to get rid of a player when they don't serve a purpose anymore so why should a player not do what's best for him when the boot is on the other foot?' Owen scored 158 goals during his time at Liverpool, spending eight seasons on Merseyside until 2004 . Owen bursts away from Bruno Ngotty of Bolton Wanderers before he left Liverpool for Real Madrid .

Sterling is expected to start for Liverpool in Saturday's lunchtime kick-off against Arsenal after Brendan Rodgers stated his intention to keep hold of the winger. And Owen says that the lack of a place in Real or Barcelona's teams mean that the only move he could make away from Anfield would be a sideways one. Sterling spoke in an interview with the BBC this week about his career ambitions and turning down the deal . The presence of Cristiano Ronaldo and co leave Owen unconvinced that a move to Spain would be right . 'Having watched him closely throughout his professional career, it it is fair to say that his progress has been spectacular,' he wrote on sportlobster. But he is still a notch or two off being "world class". 'I don't see what realistic options he has got if a move away from Anfield was on his mind. He wouldn't get into Real Madrid's or Barcelona's teams and any other move surely has to be seen as a move

She told Italian TV show The Morning: 'I have not posted intimate photographs. The bikini? And what woman does not wear it?' 'We must go beyond appearance. The truth is that in this country women are still judged and only as a sexual object. On her Facebook page, where she refers to her self as 'Divine', she has posted numerous pouting selfies and pictures of her in swimwear. Even Ms La Greca's election poster features a picture of her wearing a skimpy black dress and pulling a sultry pose. On her social media page she said the snaps were not an attempt to boost her election campaign - she had simply been born beautiful. Ms La Greca added that she was 'free to express herself' but complained about Italian attitudes towards women. She said: 'Mother Nature gave me the good fortune of being beautiful. 'But unfortunately, I am born in a context where woman are perceived as easy. 'I want to be different. I want to help my region. I am and want to be free to express myself.'

Jolyon Palmer is determined to claim a place in Formula One next year after being given the perfect opportunity by Lotus to prove himself worthy. For the first time the Enstone-based marque are providing their test and reserve driver with a number of outings in Friday's first practice session ahead of grand prix weekends. Ordinarily in the past, Lotus' reserve has been nothing more than a spare part, stood on the sidelines whilst the race drivers completed their tasks. Jolyon Palmer will drive in every Friday practice session for Lotus this season . This year, however, Lotus have decided Palmer will get a shot, and not just as a driver doing all the donkey work too. Every Friday Palmer will be behind the wheel - as was the case in China last week and again in Bahrain this week - his run-plan will be similar to that of whoever he replaces. In China, Palmer was only 0.6secs behind Pastor Maldonado at the end of FP1, a tremendous effort given it was Palmer's first major outing at an F1 event. If Palmer can continue to push, or even on occasion better the times of Maldonado and team-mate Romain Grosjean, doors may open. 'I want to be really pushing the race drivers. That's the aim,' said Palmer. 'I'm pretty much running on the same run plan as those guys. It's not like we've seen in FP1 sessions before with other drivers where they have been on quali settings, engine turned up or low fuel. 'This year there's a direct comparison and I want to show why I should be racing next year.' Unfortunately for last year's GP2 champion, his lack of competitive work outside of his duties with Lotus may prove a hindrance. Palmer drives during practice for the Chinese Grand Prix last weekend . The 24-year-old from Horsham would love to be keeping his hand in, but knows it is something he has to sacrifice to keep his F1 dream alive. 'I want to race, but only if I get the right offer,' added Palmer, son of former F1 driver Jonathan. 'If I get a good offer to do something that would be a good career move for me then I'd like to race. 'It's about keeping sharp. It's the one thing I'm missing this year. 'I'm loving working with Lotus and being in F1, but I'd love to be racing as well, so if I get a good offer I'd love to.' Palmer, though, is not actively seeking further employment because of his commitment to Lotus, adding: 'My main focus is all here and I'm really busy anyway. 'If something came my way then I would definitely consider it, but my main priority is Lotus and I will not compromise anything I do here by racing elsewhere. 'But if there is something that came along that could fit in with this then I'd be happy to do it.'

Summary: Jolyon Palmer will drive in every Friday practice session for Lotus . The Bit is determined to seize his chance with the team . In China, he was only 0.6 seconds behind Pastor Maldonado .


Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said he was unfazed by his side's staggeringly low possession stat during the 1-0 win over Manchester United and all that mattered to him was achieving a positive result. The Blues, who secured victory through forward Eden Hazard's first-half strike, held the ball for just 29 per cent of the match at Stamford Bridge - their lowest total over 90 minutes since Opta started recording this sort of data in 2006. United were also able to string together over 400 more successful passes than the home side. Mourinho, though, insisted that his team's priority was to win the game and not concern themselves with statistics. Presented with United's dominance of possession, the Portuguese responded passionately. Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he is unconcerned by statistics and only cares about getting results .

Chelsea forward Eden Hazard (left) dribbles with the ball ahead of Manchester Untied's Wayne Rooney (right) Hazard celebrates scoring the only goal against Manchester United as Chelsea edge towards the league title . 'They could have 99 (per cent). It was no problem,' he said. 'When you decide to play the game strategically, you don't care about stats, you just care about the points.' With Chelsea's last seven league victories all coming by a single goal margin, it would be hard to argue Mourinho is anything but sincere. He continued: 'We were very well prepared for this game. We were able to make some of their important players disappear.' Indeed, Mourinho's bold decision to play Kurt Zouma in an enforcing midfield role really paid off to stifle United's attack. Chelsea's win over the Red Devils sees them extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 10 points. Mourinho's men could wrap up the title as early as April 29, should they win their next two games against Arsenal and Leicester City. Chelsea have not won the Premier League since 2010 under former boss Carlo Ancelotti, but given their lead at the top and with only six games left to go, it would take a brave man to bet against them missing out this term. Hazard, in particular, has impressed for the Blues throughout the campaign and is being hotly tipped to win the PFA Player of the Year award.
