Ever noticed how plane seats appear to be getting smaller and smaller? With increasing numbers of people taking to the skies, some experts are questioning if having such packed out planes is putting passengers at risk. They say that the shrinking space on aeroplanes is not only uncomfortable - it's putting our health and safety in danger. More than squabbling over the arm rest, shrinking space on planes putting our health and safety in danger? This week, a U.S consumer advisory group set up by the Department of Transportation said at a public hearing that while the government is happy to set standards for animals flying on planes, it doesn't stipulate a minimum amount of space for humans. 'In a world where animals have more rights to space and food than humans,' said Charlie Leocha, consumer representative on the committee. 'It is time that the DOT and FAA take a stand for humane treatment of passengers.' But could crowding on planes lead to more serious issues than fighting for space in the overhead lockers, crashing elbows and seat back kicking? Tests conducted by the FAA use planes with a 31 inch pitch, a standard which on some airlines has decreased . Many economy seats on United Airlines have 30 inches of room, while some airlines offer as little as 28 inches . Cynthia Corbertt, a human factors researcher with the Federal Aviation Administration, that it conducts tests on how quickly passengers can leave a plane. But these tests are conducted using planes with 31 inches between each row of seats, a standard which on some airlines has decreased, reported the Detroit News. The distance between two seats from one point on a seat to the same point on the seat behind it is known as the pitch. While most airlines stick to a pitch of 31 inches or above, some fall below this. While United Airlines has 30 inches of space, Gulf Air economy seats have between 29 and 32 inches, Air Asia offers 29 inches and Spirit Airlines offers just 28 inches. British Airways has a seat pitch of 31 inches, while easyJet has 29 inches, Thomson's short haul seat pitch is 28 inches, and Virgin Atlantic's is 30-31.

Summary: Experts question if packed out planes are putting passengers at risk . U.S consumer advisory group says minimum space must be stipulated . Safety tests conducted on planes with more leg room than airlines offer .

The man in the mask is back. But it might take more than a slice of carbon fibre to protect Cesc Fabregas from what could be a quite hateful reception when he takes his first steps at the Emirates Stadium since he left to join Barcelona. That 2011 move was seen and widely accepted - externally - as the prodigal son going home. This next fixture is seen by some as the return of a player who rejected a second coming at Arsenal in favour of Chelsea. He will surely win the league, having already won the Capital One Cup, but what has he lost at the club that made him? What of the line of communication he once had with Arsene Wenger? Cesc Fabregas will be making his first return to the Emirates since leaving Arsenal in 2011 . The 27-year-old is expected to wear a protective mask when he travels to north London this weekend . Fabregas joined Arsenal as a teenager (left) before returning to the Premier League with Chelsea (right) Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger speaks to a young Fabregas after snatching him away from Barcelona in 2004 . It has been suggested they have not spoken since Fabregas made the summer move that got so many backs up. There is nothing terribly unusual in that except they used to be so close, to the extent that Wenger continued to text Fabregas on birthdays and career milestones while he was at Barcelona. ‘He hasn’t spoken to me since I came back,’ Fabregas was quoted as saying in September. ‘It was the kind of relationship I always would have liked to keep. ‘But I'm sure once everything dies down a bit in the future we will talk. There is no problem. I'll always be grateful to him whatever happens.’ Except there is still believed to be only silence from the man he once called his ‘second father’. And for the first time, the Fabregas narrative is something less than delightfully romantic. Until now he had followed a largely clean script. He was the boy who attended his first Barca match as a nine-month-old baby with his grandfather. The tale of how he came to be their player 10 years later is wonderful. The story goes that he was playing for Mataro, 35km north of Barcelona. Rodolfo Borrell used to search the surrounding areas for young players for Barca’s Under 11s side and one day watched Fabregas’s team. Nothing to report. When he came back, two months later in September 1997, he saw a midfielder he simply needed to sign.

When Jason Archinaco's wife said she wanted to get a fourth cat, it is unlikely that this is quite the addition to the household she imagined. Because, since Monday, the family have been sharing their home with arguably Los Angeles' most famous mountain lion, P-22. The cougar, the other name for the species, has made his home in the crawlspace under the house in the hilly Los Feliz neighborhood - and has so far resisted all attempts to get him to move out. Scroll down for video . New home: The lion - known as P-22 - was found by workers in the crawl space at midday on Monday . Rescue: Attempts to get the lion to move out - including firing tennis balls - have so far been unsuccessful . Resident: The beautiful animal may have been living in the crawlspace for some time before being discovered . Workers discovered the big cat on Monday at noon, as they were trying to install a security system. Ten hours later - despite animal welfare officers using a prod, and even firing tennis balls and bean bags at it - he was still refusing to move. 'I don't think he's going to come out,' Archinaco told KNBC-TV. 'He's probably been living here for a while. 'He thinks this is his den.' But then, this level of determination will probably come as no surprise to those who know the tale of P-22. It is thought the lion crossed the 405 and 101 freeways more than three years ago, as he travelled from his home in the Santa Monica Mountains. He has been living in nearby Griffith Park ever since - where scientists managed to catch and tag him. But his fame reached new heights after National Geographic photographer Steve Winter managed to capture him walking in front of the Hollywood sign in 2013. Then, last year, the big cat survived mange and a meal of rat poison to become apparently healthy again. Fame: P-22 is best-known for being pictured in front of the Hollywood sign in 2013 . Hiding: It is thought the lion crossed two freeways to get to his home in Griffith Park, but it is not known how long he has been living in the crawl space in the Los Feliz hills . Beanbags: The animal rescue workers have even resorted to using beanbags to move the lion . However, all this is nothing to the furore surrounding his latest move. The LA Times reports a scene worthy of any film star - with news vans filling the street, helicopters flying overhead and even a live news feed on a local channel reporting the latest. However, they were not rewarded for their patience, and state wildlife officials cleared most media and gawkers away from the area as night fell. They continued with their attempts to dislodge P-22, starting with poking him gently with a long prod, but that did little — other than temporarily lose the pricey GoPro camera they'd attached to the end of it that fell off. They then

Summary: P-22 has made himself a new den underneath a house in Los Feliz . The mountain lion has been living in nearby Griffith Park for three years . Rose to fame after a picture of him in front of the Hollywood sign published . So far resisted all attempts by animal welfare workers to make him leave .


Eerie footage has emerged showing a mysterious 100 metre-wide black ring of smoke floating over clear skies in Kazakhstan - convincing locals it was caused by a UFO. The clip was filmed on Saturday in Shortandy village, 40 miles north of the capital Astana, and captures the cloud hovering in the sky for 15 minutes before suddenly vanishing without trace. The video has been viewed more than 50,000 times since being uploaded to YouTube, prompting all manner of bizarre explanations for the phenomenon - with many seemingly convinced it is definitive proof of extra-terrestrial life. Spine-chilling: The creepy footage shows a mysterious 100 metre-wide black ring of smoke floating over clear skies in Kazakhstan - convincing locals it was caused by a UFO . Confused locals watched the mysterious cloud hover ominously over Shortandy for a quarter of an hour on Saturday morning before it vanished as quickly as it appeared. Once the cloud had rapidly dispersed, no trace of it was left in the sky. Speaking to local news website Today.kz, villager Oleg Menshikov said: 'It was like a black cloud. We saw it at around 4 pm on April 3. It dissipated like smoke, but it was completely odourless.' Within minutes of the video being shared online, YouTube users began to question whether the thick black hoop was an alien spacecraft, while others suggested it might just be cigarette smoke immediately in front of the camera but giving the perception it is in the sky. Others thought the cloud was likely to be a naturally occurring weather event known as a thermal microburst, which is caused by a falling mass of warm air. Mysterious: The clip was filmed on Saturday in Shortandy village, 40 miles north of the capital Astana, and captures the cloud hovering in the sky for 15 minutes before suddenly vanishing without trace . Dispersing rapidly: Confused locals watched the mysterious cloud hover ominously over Shortandy for a quarter of an hour on Saturday morning before it vanished as quickly as it appeared . Experts believe the cloud was roughly 100 metres in diameter and floated close to a mile in the air. Speaking to Russia Today, Andrey Solodovnik - associate physics professor at the Northern Kazakhstan State University - dismissed suggestions the cloud was caused by aliens. He said that based on similar clouds seen in the skies in recent years, the giant black hoop was likely to have been little more than a smoke ring generated by combustion at nearby factories. Plenty of industrial machinery is known to create ring-shaped clouds of smoke, though these are usually lighter-coloured, considerably less dense and vanish in just one or two minutes. In the latest instance it is likely the cloud was far more visible and hung around in the sky for much longer than usual for the simple reason it was cloudless day with little to no wind.

Summary: Clip shows mysterious black cloud hanging over the village of Shortandy . The perfect hoop shape sat in the air not moving for more than 15 minutes . Eerie video has been viewed tens of thousands of times on Youtube . While some viewers are suggesting the cloud was an alien spacecraft, experts think it could have been caused by nearby factories .


Most fans wants to get their hands on a rare piece of memorabilia once belonging to their favourite player or team and little bits of history can fetch thousands of pounds on the open market. But you may be surprised to know that an expired passport of Paul Parker - most famous for playing right back for Manchester United and England during the nineties - was listed on eBay for an eye-watering £5,000. The item was listed earlier in March and bidding ended on Tuesday but it is unclear whether anyone actually stumped up the sizeable sum being quoted. Ex-Manchester United and England defender Paul Parker's old passport was listed on eBay . The former defender's expired passport was listed for £5,000 but the seller was open to offers . 'This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available,' read the message on eBay. Although the old passport was listed for £5,000, the seller made it clear he was open to negotiation, asking potential buyers to 'make me an offer and see if I accept'. Parker (right) played for Manchester United between 1991 and 1996 and won two league titles at Old Trafford . Parker closes down Holland forward Marco van Basten during one of his 19 caps for England . The eBay seller described Parker, 50, as an 'ex-Manchester United and Chelsea legend' but, while he made more than 100 appearances for United and won two league titles, his grand total of four outings for the Blues doesn't quite merit legendary status. Parker made 19 international appearances but his United and England career ended largely because of the emergence of Gary Neville.

Carwyn Scott-Howell's death was a tragic accident, according to state prosecutor Pierre Yves Michau . The family of tragic ski boy Carwyn Scott-Howell were expected to bring his body home this weekend as an investigation into his death ruled out negligence as a factor. Carwyn, seven, plunged 160ft to his death in Flaine, France, while skiing with his mother Ceri and siblings Gerwyn and Antonia, after becoming separated from them. According to state prosecutor Pierre Yves Michau, the schoolboy’s death earlier this month was ‘a tragic accident’ with no one to blame. The family, from Talybont-on-Usk, Wales, were enjoying their last run of the holiday when Antonia fell and her mother stopped to help. Carwyn carried on skiing and then ventured into a wooded area. His mother thought he had continued to their accommodation but raised the alarm when he did not return. Mr Michau said: ‘The inquiry has found the piste was well signposted. The boy would have been aware that he was leaving the piste. The reason why is not known but it was by error. ‘Had he been with someone bigger or older, the accident wouldn’t have happened but it remains a dramatic and tragic accident.’ In a statement released to the Foreign Office, his family described Carwyn as a 'daring, outgoing, determined little boy' and a 'very competent skier and snowboarder'. They said they were enjoying their last ski run together when Carwyn's sister 'lost her ski on a jump and at this point Carwyn skied ahead'. 'He was a very daring outgoing determined little boy whose handsome smile lit up any room and made life full of laughter with never a dull moment. Seven years is too short a time to be an angel in the sky. 'Carwyn was a very competent skier and snowboarder who had started skiing at the age of three and spent several weeks each year skiing. We had spent the most happy ski holiday together in the French ski resort of Flaine.' The statement went on to explain how the family became separated on their last run of the day. 'The family were all enjoying their last ski run over the small jumps and bumps at the side of the slope together, when Carwyn's sister lost her ski on a jump and at this point Carwyn skied ahead,' it said. 'The family cannot explain their feeling of utter devastation with a vast void in their hearts. ' Carwyn, seven, from Talybont-on-Usk, Wales, plunged 160ft to his death in Flaine, France .

The average Briton enjoys 884 cups of tea each year – or enough to fill two bathtubs, a survey has found. The YouGov poll of more than 2,000 Britons revealed that we consume an average of 17 cups of tea each week. The research showed that our tea-drinking habits increase as we get older, with those aged 55 and over typically enjoying 21 cups of tea a week compared with 18 to 24-year-olds, who only drink eight cups a week. The average Briton enjoys 884 cups of tea each year – or enough to fill two bathtubs, a survey has found . The poll also found that almost a third of women turn to a cuppa to make them feel better when they are unwell – in comparison with only 16 per cent of men. Youngsters are more likely to turn to a cuppa when they are sad, with nearly a quarter of 18 to 25s saying they put the kettle on when they are feeling down, compared with just 11 per cent of 55 and overs. And more than half of adults associated a cup of tea with ‘comfort and relaxation’ – confirming the results of a separate survey which yesterday revealed that sweet tea promotes relaxation and relieves stress. Mary Rance, chief executive of charity Contact The Elderly – which commissioned the poll and organises tea parties for older people – said: ‘This confirms that tea really is part of our national identity. We know from our parties and our research that a cup of tea brings Britain together.’ The poll found that almost a third of women turn to a cuppa to make them feel better when they are unwell . 'At Contact The Elderly, we know first hand that a monthly tea party makes a huge difference to the lives of our older guests, many of whom do not have regular face-to-face contact with anyone other than their carer or the postman. 'The number of isolated over-75s is growing, and there are still one million lonely older people in England, Scotland and Wales who are completely cut off from society and in need of our help. 'We know from our parties and our research that a cup of tea brings Britain together, so as we celebrate our Golden Jubilee, we urge people to support us by volunteering to put the kettle on for lonely older people.'

There is an insufficient supply of whooping cough vaccine in Australia, according to Queensland Health. However, medical professionals insist the resource shortage will not affect the immunisation programs for babies, children and pregnant women. It comes less than a month after the death of 32-day-old Riley who died after contracting whooping cough. His parents Catherine and Greg are now leading a campaign, urging adults to vaccinate themselves and their children to prevent more infant deaths from the terrible disease. The adult whooping cough vaccine will not be available in Australia until July, according to ABC News. However, although whooping cough is less severe in adults, infected adults do pose a serious risk for infants and children who are not vaccinated. Scroll down for video . Riley Hughes died at just 32 days old after suffering complications arising from whooping cough . Two days before Riley died his mother posted a photo of him wrapped in a blanket in hospital . 'Heartbreaking to watch 4 week old Riley struggle,' Catherine Hughes wrote as she urged people to get themselves immunised . Riley's father Greg also posted a touching tribute on Facebook to his 'darling little angel Riley' 'The one product that is in short supply is not part of the formal national immunisation program, but is a booster dose that's used generally by GPs for adults,' Queensland Health senior medical officer Dr Alun Richards told ABC News. 'We have sufficient stocks to vaccinate children as part of the school-based vaccination program.' On March 15, two days before baby Riley died, his mother Catherine posted a devastating photo of her son wrapped up in a blanket in his hospital bed urging people to get themselves and their children immunised against whooping cough. 'If you haven't been immunised against whooping cough (pertussis) please consider getting it done. 'Heartbreaking to watch 4 week old Riley struggle with it at (Perth's Princess Margaret Hospital). Please keep him in your thoughts!,' she wrote. 'If you're anti-immunisation/anti-logic/anti-duty of care to your society as a whole, then feel free to take a look at this picture of my son in hospital right now at 4 weeks old with whooping cough - and then come and tell me how you think immunisation is a bad thing,' Riley's father Greg added. Dr Richards could not confirm why the shortage has taken place but told ABC that it is not abnormal. His mother Catherine Hughes posted a brave tribute to her baby boy and thanked Perth's Princess Margaret Hospital for doing 'everything they could to save his little life' 'I don't know whether it's because of increased demand in the world or if it's another issue, but there are vaccination shortages from time to time,' he said. 'There are other preparations on the market [and] they're not all in short supply.' For people opting to be vaccinated against whooping cough, they may be deferred by their GP until more supplies are available. 'These people can return when supplies are again available,' Dr Jeannette Young told ABC News. Infectious Diseases Expert at ANU Medical

Nigel Farage attacked the high cost of health service treatment for foreigners with HIV in Thursday's General Election debate. The latest official figures show that more than half of those newly diagnosed with HIV in Britain – where their country of origin is known – were born overseas . When Nigel Farage attacked the high cost of health service treatment for foreigners with HIV it was guaranteed to provoke controversy. Instantly the Ukip leader was accused of ‘dangerous scaremongering’. But, while some of his claims were overstated, the latest official figures show that more than half of those newly diagnosed with HIV in Britain – where their country of origin is known – were born overseas. Mr Farage said on Thursday night’s televised debate: ‘Here’s a fact and I’m sure that other people will be mortified that I dare to talk about it. ‘There are 7,000 diagnoses in this country every year for people who are HIV positive. It’s not a good place for any of them to be, I know, but 60 per cent of them are not British nationals. ‘You can come into Britain from anywhere in the world and get diagnosed with HIV and get the retroviral drugs that cost up to £25,000 a year per patient. ‘I know there are some horrible things happening in many parts of the world, but what we need to do is put the National Health Service there for British people and families who in many cases have paid into the system for decades.’ Labour leader Ed Miliband branded the comments ‘disgusting’ and former England captain Gary Lineker wrote on Twitter: ‘Always reluctant to offer a political view, but Farage is a d***!’ Yesterday Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg also took to Twitter to condemn the remarks, saying: ‘Farage’s comments about foreign people with HIV were simply vile and desperate. Politics of the lowest form.’ Mr Miliband also tweeted: ‘He should be ashamed. The fact he isn’t says so much.’ Labour leader Ed Miliband (left) branded the comments ‘disgusting’ and former England captain Gary Lineker (right) wrote on Twitter: ‘Always reluctant to offer a political view, but Farage is a d***!’ But last night Mr Farage stood by his claims, telling ITV news they were ‘cold, hard facts’. The figures on HIV and foreigners are notoriously hard to calculate because they could include British nationals who were born abroad. According to Public Health England, there were 6,000 diagnoses of HIV in the UK in 2013. Where the country of origin is known, 54 per cent of new diagnoses were foreign-born patients. However, the same body estimated that 76 per cent of all newly diagnosed HIV infections among gay or bisexual men and 57 per cent among heterosexual men and women in 2013 probably happened in the UK. The cost of antiretroviral drugs for HIV patients per year has been put between £10,000 and £16,000 by the National Aids Trust. Aids charity Avert has estimated that the cost of treating someone with HIV in the UK is around £18,000 per year, although this varies

A woman told she was infertile after undergoing gruelling cancer treatment has spoken of her joy at giving birth to a baby boy. Doctors told Cara Newton, 32, from Fleet, Hampshire, she had a zero per cent chance of conceiving naturally after being diagnosed with bone cancer in 2009. While Mrs Newton and her husband, Chris, 34, were relieved that chemotherapy had worked, they were devastated to be told they would never have a family of their own. Some chemotherapy drugs permanently stop the ovaries from producing eggs. This means a woman can no longer get pregnant and may have symptoms of the menopause, as Mrs Newton did. Cara Newton, 32 (with husband Chris), was told she had a zero per cent chance of conceiving naturally after being diagnosed with bone cancer in 2009. To her utter surprise, she conceived baby Sebastian naturally . Mrs Newton was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma - a rare type of bone cancer - in April 2009. She had to undergo several rounds of chemotherapy which doctors said would destroy her fertility . After IVF failed, the couple feared they would never become parents. But 10 months later they were astounded to discover Mrs Newton had become pregnant naturally with baby Sebastian, who was born last April . The couple tried IVF using a donor egg but when that failed, they feared the worst. Then 10 months later, to their utter surprise, Mrs Newton became pregnant naturally with baby Sebastian, who was born last April. She said: 'I was heartbroken when doctors told me I had zero chance of ever becoming a mum. 'Chemotherapy had taken my hair, made me sick and plummeted by body into early menopause. 'I had always wanted children but my hopes of having my own family had been destroyed overnight.' She added: 'Chris and I decided to try IVF using a donor egg. Even though the baby wouldn't biologically be mine, at least I would experience pregnancy and we would become parents.' 'When it failed I was gutted, but just months later I fell pregnant naturally, it was a dream come true. We had to keep pinching ourselves to check it was real.' Mrs Newton was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma - a rare type of bone cancer - in April 2009. She had become concerned after suffering from pain in her leg - something she first thought was a pulled a muscle. But an MRI confirmed her worst fears - she had bone cancer and could lose her leg. She said: 'I was terrified when I heard the word "cancer" and the amount of treatment I would need.' During surgery, Mrs Newton had 13cm of bone removed from her femur, which was replaced with a metal internal prosthesis. Mrs Newton had 13cm of bone removed from her femur, which was replaced with a metal internal prosthesis . She also underwent multiple rounds of chemotherapy, all the time worrying she would lose her leg. She said: 'I ended up in intensive care a couple of times as the chemotherapy made me so ill

Summary: Cara Newton, 32, was told she was infertile after undergoing chemotherapy . Was diagnosed with the rare bone cancer Ewing's sarcoma in 2009 . Some chemotherapy drugs permanently stop the ovaries producing eggs . After IVF failed, she was overjoyed to conceive baby Sebastian naturally .


Tim Howard is adamant the Europa League is not to blame for Everton delivering what might be their worse season for nine years. Perhaps the goalkeeper would have been better off hiding behind conventional wisdom, considering the disappointment of this elongated campaign which could yet see Everton finish in the bottom half of the Premier League for the first time since 2006. Those prospects are dwindling, courtesy of a four-game unbeaten run, but there is no mistaking that Roberto Martinez’s side have fallen way below the standards set last season. The gap between their status now and after 32 games last season is 25 points, the difference between targeting a Champions League place and chasing the top 10. Tim Howard is adamant the Europa League is not to blame for Everton's poor season in the Premier League . The Merseyside outfit played 10 games in Europe this season before being knocked out by Dynamo Kiev . Aaron Lennon scored for Everton at Swansea City but the game ended in a 1-1 draw at the Liberty Stadium . Swansea City (4-3-3): Fabianski 6.5; Rangel 6, Fernandez 6, Williams 6, Taylor 6; Ki 6.5, Cork 6.5, Shelvey 7.5 (Dyer 83mins); Sigurdsson 6, Gomis 6 (Emnes 17, 6.5), Routledge 6.5. Subs not used: Amat, Britton, Grimes, Tremmel, Fulton. Booked: Taylor, Emnes, Williams. Everton (4-2-3-1): Howard 6.5; Coleman 6, Stones 6, Jagielka 6.5, Baines 6.5; McCarthy 6.5, Barry 7; Lennon 6.5, Barkley 5.5 (Mirallas 86), Osman 6 (Pienaar 28, 6); Kone 5 (Naismith 76). Subs not used: Robles, Besic, Garbutt, Alcaraz. Booked: Kone, Howard, Lennon. Man of the match: Jonjo Shelvey. Referee: Michael Oliver 5. Attendance: 20,468. The demands of playing 10 games in the Europa League have certainly taken their toll but Howard rejected that theory, saying: ‘That’s something that’s been talked about for the last five or 10 years but it’s just a blanket statement people make. Champions League teams have to do the same thing. ‘They play Wednesday and Saturday and it’s tough but no-one blames Champions League football. Every football team does not have a god given right to be anywhere. ‘We’ve put in honest performances but things just haven’t gone our way. We could sit here and make a list of a thousand different things but it’s not the Europa League or anything else.’ The perception that luck has not gone Everton’s way extended to Saturday when Aaron Lennon’s first-half strike was cancelled out by a Jonjo Shelvey penalty. Martinez was incensed by the award of a penalty though it appeared a reasonable decision. Neither side came out of the fixture unscathed, with Leon Osman of Everton and Swansea City’s Bafetimbi Gomis due to have scans today on respective groin and hamstring injuries. Howard will not allow Europe to be an excuse for what could be Everton's worst season in nine years . Jonjo Shelvey of Swansea scores past Howard with a penalty to level the scores on Saturday afternoon . Swansea manager Garry Monk confirmed a striker is top of his summer wishlist after being left with no fit front

Summary: Everton drew 1-1 with Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday . They could finish Premier League bottom half for first time in nine years . Tim Howard says his side's struggles aren't down to Europa League . Toffees played 10 European games but Howard says form is down to luck .


When he was just three weeks old, Kibulu the African lion cub met Donna Wilson. Kibulu’s mother had rejected him in favour of his siblings and zoo keepers quickly decided it wasn’t safe for him to stay. So they called Donna from Zambi Wildlife Retreat in Western Sydney. ‘We named him Kibulu, which is Swahili for blue, because he had these unusual electric blue eyes when he arrived,’ Ms Wilson told Daily Mail Australia. Nine months later, and weighing close to 80 kilograms, Kibulu still shares Donna’s bed most nights. He still carries his teddy bear around with him and he loves to suck on people’s thumbs. ‘This morning he just wouldn’t get out of bed, he’s a total sook,’ she said. Scroll down for video . Zambi Wildlife Retreat fostered Kibulu as a three-week-old cub after his mother rejected him at the NSW Zoo where he was born . Kibulu greets one of the Zambi Wildlife Retreat directors, Traci Griffiths, at the centre in Western Sydney . Since he arrived at the retreat as a 3-week-old cub, Kibulu has slept most nights in director Donna's bed with 'Teddy' Zambi Wildlife Retreat's Donna Wilson with Kibulu, the orphaned nine-month-old African lion who has shared her bed since he arrived as a three-week-old cub . Kibulu is one of 23 lions in Donna’s care at Zambi Wildlife retreat, a sanctuary for retired, old, injured and homeless animals set on a 50 acre property south of Penrith in western Sydney. The retreat – which is not yet open to the public – is home to lions, tigers, monkeys, dingoes, parrots, rescued farm and domestic animals from all over Australia. 'Many of the animals already lived on the property and I've cared for them for years’, says Wilson, who has worked in animal rescue and as a zoo keeper in Australia and overseas for more than 20 years, as well as training big cats for film and television. She says zoos will often have surplus animals from their breeding programs or they might have too many males for an enclosure, who then start to fight like they would in the wild. Some of the animals at Zambi also starred in the movie industry in the days before computer imaging and special effects. There are only two circuses in Australia – the Lennon Brothers and Stardust - that still use monkeys and lions in their tents. Donna says the laws around circus animals in Australia are especially tough. 'They're very well loved and cared-for animals and when we talk to them, they just want the best for their animals, for them to be spoilt when they retire,' she says. ‘We’ll be given a lot of older animals, which is good because we can give them a good life here - it's literally like a retirement home for exotic animals. ‘We’re the first and only exotic animal retreat in Australia.' Just one of the pride: Kibulu and director Traci share a moment at the retreat . Australian supermodel Jennifer Hawkins celebrated her 31st birthday this year with

Summary: The Zambi Wildlife Retreat is the only facility for retired exotic animals from zoos and the movie industry in Australia . The Sydney retreat is home to lions, tigers, monkeys and dingoes as well as rescued farm and domestic animals . The retreat is hoping to raise money to expand its facilities so it can accept more animals and open a training centre .

Amir Khan has ended speculation over his next opponent by announcing he will fight former light-welterweight world champion Chris Algieri on May 30. The Bolton fighter had earlier this week come under increasing pressure to take on British rival and IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook in June. However, Khan, who was also linked with bouts against Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman, said he was already deep in negotiations to fight somebody else. Amir Khan (left) has announced his next fight will be against Chris Algieri at welterweight on May 30 . Khan's (right) last fight came against Devon Alexander in December, whom he beat to take his record to 30-3 . Algieri (left) lost his last bout against Manny Pacquiao in November - his first defeat in his professional career . Algieri was knocked down six times en route to a heavily lopsided points loss in Macau . And on his wife's YouTube channel Khan announced: 'The next opponent will be Chris Algieri. I will be taking that fight at 147lbs (the welterweight limit).' The fight has yet to be rubber-stamped, but Khan added: 'I'm looking forward to getting this fight announced officially by my manager and advisor Al Haymon. '(His management team) think it's the right fight for me, they want to keep me going.' Algieri's only defeat in his 21-fight professional career came in his last bout against Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao, who faces Floyd Mayweather in a mega-fight on May 2. Algieri was knocked down six times en route to a heavily lopsided points loss in November last year. Yet Khan believes his American foe is a credible opponent as he wrested the WBO light-welterweight title off the much feared Ruslan Provodnikov in June 2014. Khan said: 'You can class him as an A-class opponent. 'He has fought decent opponents, beaten decent opponents, and just fell short against Manny Pacquiao, which is an A star opponent. 'He's a decent boxer overall. He knows how to box and knows how to move well. He takes a decent amount of shots and he's got a decent amount of power, so I think overall it's going to be a good fight for me.' The 28-year-old hopes to fight in Algieri's home city of New York, with Khan's only previous outing there an 11th-round stoppage of Paulie Malignaggi at Madison Square Garden in May 2010.

Khan (pictured in March 2014) hopes to fight Algieri's home city of New York next month . Khan (right) has fought once before in New York - where he defeated Paulie Malignaggi in May 2010 . This time, though, Khan wants the non-title bout at the Barclays Center as he said: 'We're looking at fighting in New York, I think New York's a great venue for me. 'Having that fight in New York will be good for the UK fans in a way because it will give them a chance to travel and it won't be as far

If a golf course were to be created in Hell it might resemble the now serene landscape of Gallipoli, where the blood of thousands was spilled a century ago in one of World War I’s most spectacular Allied failures. An eerie serenity pervades the rolling landscape of this peninsula and, in the bright spring sunshine, there could scarcely be a more peaceful spot for a Sunday afternoon stroll. But a chill is never far from the spine, whatever the temperature. Scroll down for video . Sulva Bay, Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey, where in the World War I there were nearly 400,00 Allied casualties . In the early hours of today, 25 April 2015, a bugle sounded a haunting dawn chorus to mark the moment when, at 0430, Allied troops landed at a point where Asia meets Europe, Anzac Cove, to commence the disastrous Dardanelles Campaign. Thousands of visitors from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, India and France have gathered to honour the fallen at one of the biggest commemorations of the Great War. Today this beautiful Turkish isthmus, facing the Aegean to the west, the Dardanelles Straits and the Sea of Marmara to the east, is a patchwork of monuments and memorial stones linked by country lanes, mountain tracks and undulating greenery.

Allied cemeteries at Gallipoli are kept immaculately by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission . A cross left by a visitor at a graveside in Gallipoli bearing a personal thanks to the one of the soldiers killed . On a visit ahead of the poignant anniversary, we wandered among Anzac’s sea-facing white headstones before heading down to the tip of the peninsula. Here stands one of the most magnificent of the cemeteries, the Helles Memorial to the British. Troops are remembered in row upon row of immaculate Commonwealth war graves and huge expanses of dazzling white marble, etched with the names of the fallen, which circle the cemetery. Accompanied by a feral dog and her puppies, we strolled down the dirt track to V Beach cemetery where the sea laps below the walls and where two Irish battalions were laid to rest.

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested for allegedly robbing, beating and sexually assaulting a woman on a Chicago train after his mother recognized his face on released surveillance images and turned him in to police. DeShawn Isabelle punched the 41-year-old woman in the head from behind and then dragged her to the ground by pulling on her hair before continuing to punch her in the head and face as she crouched in the fetal position, according to Assistant State’s Attorney Joe DiBella. Isabelle also stole $2,000 in cash that the woman was going to wire back to her family in Thailand and spent it on junk food, Air Jordan track suits and his graduation fees, DiBella said.

DeShawn Isabelle, 15, has been arrested for allegedly robbing, beating and sexually assaulting a woman on a Chicago train after his mother recognized his face on surveillance images and turned him in to police . The middle school student was sitting in the otherwise empty carriage when the woman boarded the CTA train in Oak Park on Monday at 3pm, according to the Chicago Tribune. During the brutal beating, Isabelle put his hands inside the woman's pants and sexually assaulted her, according to DiBella. The teen also allegedly groped the woman over her clothes and slapped her buttocks and then sat on her head as he continued to beat her. Isabelle pinned the woman down with his knees when the train stopped at the next station, prosecutors said. When no one entered the carriage, he then dragged the woman by her hair to a partially enclosed area and continued to punch, kick and stomp all over the woman's body as he pushed her face down and demanded money, DiBella said. Isabelle then stole the woman's iPhone and got off on the Cicero stop to hop a train heading in the opposite direction, DiBella said the teenager later told authorities. The woman pushed the car's emergency button after the train began moving again and was attended to by CTA personnel. She was left with bruises and cuts all over her body as well as a concussion after the six-minute ride.

Blown up in Iraq, Hannah Campbell defied the odds to have a miracle baby after shrapnel damaged her womb. But behind the joy of celebrating daughter Lexi-River’s first birthday, the former Army corporal has battled new agony after twice nearly dying from a mystery illness since the birth. Miss Campbell, 30, was struck down with a condition that caused her stomach to rupture, leaving her fighting for her life in intensive care, and feared she would not be there to help Lexi-River blow out the candles on her cake. Scroll down for video . Hannah Campbell, pictured with her daughters Milly (left) and Lexi-River (right), defied the odds to have a miracle baby after shrapnel damaged her womb from a blast in Basra . And as she struggled to recover, her relationship broke down with long-term partner and Lexi-River’s father Anthony McMorrow, who proposed to her on Valentine’s Day last year. Miss Campbell said: ‘I was just so desperately ill that the relationship was put under extreme pressure.’ But the split was amicable, with Miss Campbell and Mr McMorrow, 32, a marketing consultant, making Lexi-River their priority. Miss Campbell suffered horrific injuries when a mortar bomb hit the building in Basra she was guarding while serving with 19 Tank Transporter Squadron in 2007 as a young mum with a then three-year-old daughter, Milly, from a previous relationship. She has since split from long-term partner Anthony McMorrow (left). She was serving with 19 Tank Transporter Squadron (right) in 2007 when the blast happened . The couple, pictured with Hannah's daughter Milly and Anthony's son Leo, have decided to split after Hannah began suffering from a mystery condition . She was blinded in one eye, her left hand was split in two and her left leg was shattered. Shrapnel damaged her abdomen, leading doctors to tell her she’d never be able to have another child. Two years after the blast she elected to have her leg amputated, as unbearable pain had left her housebound. During her recovery she gained weight from being wheelchair-bound, going from 9½ st to 21st, while post-traumatic stress disorder caused her to lose her hair. With the help of doctors Miss Campbell, from Northampton, rebuilt herself with a £52,500 makeover including a prosthetic leg, make-up which is tattooed on, Botox, gastric band weight loss treatment, a tummy tuck and hair extensions. She even treated herself to breast enlargements. She underwent a £52,500 makeover after she gained weight from being wheelchair-bound after her leg was amputated following the blast .

A report suggests that carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels could be captured and used to produce the fizz in Cola (stock image shown) We may be told that fizzy drinks aren’t good for our health, but there's a chance that they could be beneficial to the planet. An Australian government report suggests that carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels could be captured and used to produce the fizz in Cola. Many nations are looking into Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies as a way to cut their greenhouse house emissions, of which carbon dioxide plays a large role. CCS refers to the process of capturing carbon released by burning fossil fuels and storing it in porous rock layers in areas such as depleted oil and gas reservoirs. The technology has the potential to reduce the emissions of a typical coal-power plant by up to 90 per cent, but there are concerns over storing such huge amounts of carbon underground. The government’s Energy White Paper has an idea of how to overcome this. After noting that industrial processes, which rely on the combustion of fossil fuels, are responsible for a significant proportion of Australia’s carbon dioxide emissions, it says: ‘If the CO2 can be captured before it is released to the atmosphere it can either be utilised in other products or permanently stored in deep geological formations. ‘Australia has worked closely with other countries which rely heavily on fossil fuels to investigate opportunities to utilise CO2 in products such as carbonated drinks and plastics or to enhance the growth of oil-rich algae in solar bioreactors to produce biofuel.’ This implies that as well as investigating the production of biofuels, carbon dioxide could be stashed in fizzy drinks. However, the report goes on to note that: ‘While these processes are promising, there is no commercial CO2 re-use in Australia, largely reflecting the high cost of capturing the CO2 from a flue gas stream.’ Of course, cans of fizzy drinks emit gas when they are opened, as shown by the sharp hissing noise, and there is no mention of how this gas could be captured too. The Register obtained consumption data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics that suggest 944 million litres of fizzy drinks are consumed in Australia in a year. It’s previously been calculated that there are 2.2 grams of carbon dioxide in a typical can of Coke, which means that just over 2,000 tonnes of carbon emissions could be saved if the gas was captured in cans – and not released again. It's estimated that 3,299 tonnes of carbon dioxide are released every day from people drinking Coca Cola alone, according to an article in the Herald Sun. So if the gas came from a recycled source, it could play a small role in helping the environment. Last April, an IPCC report highlighted a number of barriers to using CCS, including fatal CO2 leaks, transport issues and operational risks, such as seismic tremors. But geologists came to the defence of the controvertial method of mitigating global warming. The report

Summary: Australian report suggests ways carbon dioxide could be captured . Includes mention of gas from fossil fuels being used to make fizzy drinks . Other ideas include typical Carbon Capture and Storage and biofuels .

A pound will buy you one and a half tins of beans, two packets of crisps – or an airport in Spain. Ciudad Real airport was built in 2009 at a cost of more €1billion – Spain’s economy having taken off – but was closed three years later when its parent company fell into financial difficulties.

Taken on the frontline of fighting in the countryside outside the rebel-held city of Aleppo, the photos show a prisoner wearing an orange jumpsuit being forced to his knees before being shot. ISIS released the disturbing photographs on the same day as they bizarrely attempted to portray everyday life under the terror group's control as happy and carefree - distributing images of smiling farmers living near Aleppo who use Western technology to grow and harvest their abundant crops. Harrowing: Taken on the frontline of fighting in the countryside outside the rebel-held city of Aleppo, the photos show a prisoner wearing an orange jumpsuit being forced to his knees before being shot . The new ISIS photographs show the activists just moments before he was shot at point blank range . Images of the media activist's brutal execution were released by ISIS' Halab Media Centre, which operates in and around the city of Aleppo and has previously released sickening images and videos of the terror organisation murdering anybody who dares to oppose them. Brave activists operating on the ground in Syria have been hugely successful in helping to unite and inspire a resistance against the terror group by sharing images and reports of their atrocities online. Groups such as Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, which operates in ISIS' de facto capital city, work undercover, secretly filming ISIS militants as they take part in near daily massacres. This has, however, made the activists a major target, with the terror group exacting bloody revenge on those found to be spreading information on their activities. Charged as spies, the campaigners face certain death - either by being shot at point-blank range or crucified in a public square. The activist seen in the latest ISIS photographs show him just moments before his 'execution'. The fact he was forced to his knees and the presence of men standing around him wielding assault rifles has led analysts to believe his death was almost certainly by shooting, even though his moment of death is not shown and there are no images of his body. Moments from death: With his arms tightly bound behind his back with plastic handcuffs, blurry images show the victim being dragged through a public square by his heavily armed captors .

Luke Shaw thought he had done OK as he walked off the Old Trafford pitch at half-time during Manchester United’s FA Cup tie against Arsenal last month. Steady, nothing special, but he felt invigorated all the same. The score was 1-1 and Shaw, returning to the team for the first time since United’s defeat at Swansea City in February, had kept Arsenal flyer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain reasonably quiet. Shaw was growing into that famous red shirt, getting stronger down the left flank as this fiery sixth-round tie against Arsene Wenger’s team wore on. Luke Shaw thought he had done OK against Arsenal in the FA Cup but he was substituted at half time . Louis van Gaal substituted the £28million defender, telling Shaw that he was not fit enough to play for United . Shaw has not played since and was withdrawn from the recent England squad as he struggles at United . Shaw's stats for the season show how he has struggled to hold down a regular place at left back with United . What happened next will ultimately shape his career as a United player. Louis van Gaal substituted the £28million defender, telling Shaw that he was not fit enough to play for United, and replaced him with Phil Jones for the second half. Arsenal went on to win 2-1 and getting dragged off at half-time was another blow to Shaw’s fragile self-esteem. He has not played since, withdrawn by Van Gaal from the England squad for games against Lithuania and Italy because of question marks over his fitness. His position at United has been taken by Daley Blind, shuffled across from the centre of midfield as United went on a winning run against Tottenham, Aston Villa, Liverpool and Manchester City. Shaw is struggling to come to terms with his new life, turning to United’s psychologist to declutter his mind and reboot just nine months into his career at Old Trafford. Shaw is struggling to come to terms with his new life and has turned to United's psychologist of late . Shaw had kept Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain reasonably quiet in the FA Cup clash but Van Gaal was unimpressed . There are serious concerns, particularly because his parents have spoken to the club about a lack of structure and support for their teenage son. They have every right to do so. Cash is king in football and we sometimes forget to look beyond the £28m fee United paid Southampton (£15m up front) and a five-year contract worth an eye-watering £90,000 a week. Shaw was 19 in July, returning from England’s disastrous World Cup in Brazil, where he started the final group game against Costa Rica, to meet up with his new United team-mates. Initially he lived in the Lowry Hotel, joined by his parents as he began a period of adaptation in a new city. He has since moved into a house in the suburbs. Earlier this week he hinted at some of the difficulties he has faced, awarding himself a C minus for his first season during an interview with Match

Summary: Manchester United paid almost £30million to sign Luke Shaw last summer . Deal made Shaw the most expensive teenage footballer of all time . He has not appeared for United since being substituted against Arsenal . Louis van Gaal has told the young left back he is not fit enough . Shaw is a home boy and has struggled to adapt to new life in Manchester . He has found a manager who has very specific and exacting demands .


Juventus have ruled out a move for Manchester United loan star Radamel Falcao after claiming the Colombia striker's wages are 'beyond their means'. Falcao has endured a difficult period at Old Trafford after arriving in an expensive loan deal from Monaco last summer. The 29-year-old is unlikely to remain at the club after scoring only four goals and failing to force his way into Louis van Gaal's starting XI. Juventus general manager Beppe Marotta has claimed that Falcao wanted to come to Turin last summer but the Serie A champions have now taken themselves out of the race to sign him. Radamel Falcao (right) has scored only four goals since arriving at Manchester United from Monaco . The Colombian is expected to leave in the summer, although Juventus claim they cannot afford him . 'Falcao is a Monaco player on loan at Manchester United and his wages are substantial and beyond our means,' Marotta told La Gazzetta dello Sport. 'It's utopian to imagine him in a Juventus shirt.' However, Marotta did claim the Italians, who reached the Champions League semi-finals at the expense of Monaco on Wednesday, were interested in strike pair Paulo Dybala and Edinson Cavani. With former Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez set to return to Boca Juniors at the end of the season, Juventus need to reinforce their forward line with Palermo's Dybala and Edinson of Paris Saint Germain at the top of their wishlist. The Serie A champions have expressed an interest in highly rated Palermo youngster Paulo Dybala . With Dybala rated at £35m, PSG's unsettled striker Edinson Cavani could be a cheaper alternative . 'We do like Dybala and he is one of our objectives,' Marotta said. 'I won't hide the fact that I have met with [Palermo president Maurizio] Zamparini -- even if I do go and deny it, he will only blurt it out anyway. 'He's a great player, but alongside him you need experienced players too. We're trying to find an agreement with Zamparini for this player who we like, but we're not the only ones who like him. Let's just see what happens.' Juventus players celebrate after beating Monaco to reach the Champions League semi-finals . The 21-year-old, who has scored 13 goals this term, is rated at £35million by his club - a fee that the Old Lady would not be prepared to meet, leading Marotta to also express his interest in Uruguay forward Cavani. 'We've not had any contact with Paris Saint-Germain for Cavani, but if he were to be placed on the market, then we would have a little chat,' Marotta said.

Summary: Monaco loanee Radamel Falcao is not expected to stay at Man Utd . Juventus have ruled out a move for the Colombia star over high wages . Serie A champions have expressed interest in Palermo's Paulo Dybala and Edinson Cavani of Paris Saint Germain .


A group of Muslim migrants have been arrested for 'aggravated murder' after allegedly throwing 12 Christians into the Mediterranean sea during a recent crossing from Libya, Italian police reports. Witnesses say a fight broke out on a rubber dinghy carrying more than 100 African migrants from Libya to Sicily, after which the men were thrown to their deaths. A group of 15 men have now been arrested on suspicion of 'multiple aggravated murder motivated by religious hate,' Palermo police said in a statement. Murders: A fight over religion broke out on a boat carrying 105 migrants from Libya, after which 12 men 'professing the Christian faith' were thrown to their deaths. Pictured: Migrants are transferred to holding centers after disembarking from in Augusta's port, near Siracusa, Sicily . Italian police say they were informed of the alleged attacks by a group of Nigerian and Ghanaian survivors upon their arrival in Palermo, Sicily yesterday. The survivors said they had boarded a rubber boat on the Libyan coast on April 14, which had 105 passengers aboard. During the crossing, a fight broke out over religion, with the group of Muslim passengers threatening the Nigerians and Ghanaians after the latter declared themselves to be Christians. 'The threats then materialised and 12 people, all Nigerian and Ghanaian, are believed to have drowned in the Mediterranean,' the police statement added. The 15 migrants arrested over the attack on their arrival in Palermo are from the Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali and Guinea Bissau.

This week, Italian coastguards intercepted more than 42 boats attempting to make the crossing to Europe . The police statement said their motive for the attack was that the victims 'professed the Christian faith while the aggressors were Muslim.' This followed reports earlier today of a shipwreck feared to have cost 41 lives off the Italian coast. Four men, two Nigerians, a Ghanaian and one from Niger, who had been rescued while floating in the Mediterranean by an Italian Navy helicopter reported the shipwreck once they arrived in the Italian port of Trapani today. They said had left Tripoli in Libya on Saturday and stayed adrift for four days. The new tragedies come just days after aid agencies reported 400 presumed dead in the sinking of another ship near the Libyan coast. The deaths have raised calls for a more robust search and rescue of the seas between Libya and Europe amid a surge in migration between the Middle East and Africa toward Italy.

A football fan is facing a three-year ban after running topless onto a pitch and performing a series of somersaults during his first ever game at the stadium. Charlie Sumner, 20, staged a one-man pitch invasion at Reading's Madejski Stadium during the team's FA cup quarter final replay with Bradford City last month. The Reading supporter, whose team were 3-0 up at the time, did four front flips on the pitch, landing on his back each time, before being tackled by stewards.

Sumner - who said going to his first game was a 'brilliant experience - is now facing a potential three-year ban for carrying out the stunt. The order, due to be decided on April 30, would stop him going to all Reading's future home and away matches. Today, Sumner, from Wokingham, Berkshire, said he has no regrets about the incident, saying that he had done it for 'laugh' and that his family had 'seen the funny side'. Speaking outside court, he said: 'After doing it and seeing good comments and messages, even from the away fans, I don't look back and regret it. 'Obviously I wouldn't inform other people to do it. It was just spur of the moment. It's good to see good feedback and not negative feedback. 'I'd had a few drinks, I was happy and Reading were winning and I just went for it and had a laugh. It was brilliant.' Asked whether he goes to many Reading matches, he added: 'That was my first game actually. It was a good experience. Obviously being there on the first game - not after what I've done, but standing in the stadium, watching the game from the stadium - it's a brilliant experience. 'Obviously with the ban, I wouldn't be able to experience that experience again.' Charlie Sumner, pictured outside Reading Magistrates' Court today. He is facing a potential banning order . After running onto the pitch, Sumner was tackled by stewards. The footage of Sumner's antics went viral . The incident took place on March 16, when the match was being broadcast live to millions of viewers on BBC One. Afterwards, footage of Sumner's antics also went viral on the internet. Sumner, who went to the match with a group of eight friends, said he talked with his friends in a taxi on the way to the match about potentially running on to the pitch. 'I did say no at first. Then Reading were winning and I got a bit excited,' he said. 'I went to rave on Friday and there's another video on Facebook and I'm doing flips there. I've had a few selfies, a few drinks bought for me.' Sumner said he spoke to friends on the way to the stadium about carrying out the stunt. He said

Consumers could soon have to pay goods and services tax (GST) on their movie and music downloads in a government moves to reel in extra billions of dollars in revenue. Treasurer Joe Hockey said the states had agreed to work toward applying the 10 per cent GST to movies and music downloaded from streaming services such as Netflix and Apple. The changes may also affect consumers buying any products for less than $1,000 online from overseas, thus affecting companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon and eBay. But consumer advocacy group Choice says tech-savvy Australian consumers might be able to avoid the tax by concealing their location through virtual private networks, which make them appear to be outside the country. Scroll down for video . Australian movie and music downloaders could soon be slapped with a 10 per cent tax in a move that could reel in billions of additional GST revenue for the federal government . Choice argues that the government should instead be tackling the exorbitant domestic costs of TV shows, music and movies, and difficulties accessing them. Netflix subscription: 90c increase to $9.90 . Standard iTunes song: 22c increase to $2.41 . Google Play movie: 60c increase to $6.60 . Standard Amazon song: 13c increase to $1.42 . Adobe Creative Cloud subscription: 99c increase to $10.99 . 'We need to make it easier ... in order to encourage greater competition,' Choice chief executive Alan Kirkland told ABC radio on Friday. Netflix has indicated that it would increase the cost of its service in line with any new laws and regulations. 'We pay taxes as required under local and national law,' a spokesperson from Netflix US head office said. With an $8.99 per month fee for its service, Netflix customers would only have to pay at least an extra 90c while song downloaders would pay an additional 22c for $2.19 track on iTunes. Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey announced that each states and territories' treasurer had agreed to the tax, which he declared was an 'integrity measures for the tax base, not the broadening of the GST or an increase of the GST' With an $8.99 per month fee for its service, Netflix customers would only have to pay an extra approximate 90c while song downloaders would pay an additional 22c for $2.19 track on iTunes .

'The states agreed in principle that we should move in that regard. I have offered to work as quickly as possible with them to introduce legislation to address that in relation to intangibles,' Mr Hockey said, according to the Financial Review. It comes after News Corp Australia chief executive Julian Clarke slammed the foreign companies' ability to avoid paying tax, consequently leading to an unlevelled playing field in the advertising market. Mr Clarke implored the government to 'fix that problem' during a Senate Standing Committees on

Watch #one2eleven every Friday evening on The Fantasy Football Club, Sky Sports 1 or catch up On Demand. GOALKEEPER: PETR CECH . Cech is the man for the big occasions and the big games. The last one was the (Champions League) final in Munich. Preparing a goalkeeper's station is like mathematics - nothing is like an accident. He is somebody in the dressing room with a big character and he's a leader as well. Florent Malouda picked Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech to start in between the sticks for his Fantasy XI . Malouda's Fantasy Football XI . RIGHT BACK: DAVID LUIZ . I know with this offensive mentality that I have in my team he won't be frustrated so I trust him to follow the manager's orders and stay in that right back position. He's funny, but when it comes to reason, he is a guy that steps in and takes big responsibility in a team. CENTRE BACK: LILIAN THURAM . He is a real defender with lots of experience. He is very, very solid when all the others will take the risk. I need two leaders. CENTRE BACK: JOHN TERRY . The second one is the captain. I pick a team with a lot of characters. I needed somebody to lead them and JT is a natural born leader. I need a player like him to make the team perform. LEFT BACK: ERIC ABIDAL . I wanted to pick Ashley Cole because we had a great time together and we had a great understanding, but I have to pick my close friend Eric Abidal. I started to play with him during my time at Lyon. He's a little bit like David Luiz in the dressing room always having fun and joking around. He has this faith and to sacrifice himself to help you be a better player. Malouda included Chelsea defender John Terry (far left, pictured in 2007) for his leadership qualities . DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER: CLAUDE MAKELELE . He is a leader and for me a tactical genius. He was the kind of guy telling you, 'be cool and and just stay in that position'. MIDFIELDER: PATRICK VIEIRA . He is just a legend and makes things so simple. Playing with him was easy and that's the kind of guy when you train with them you learn a lot of things. He's a fighter and you need that fighting spirit because not every game will be easy.

'Evil': The Duchess of Cambridge's uncle Gary Goldsmith took to Twitter after his beloved chihuahua Cheech was run over by a 'speeding' cyclist in Regents Park . The Duchess of Cambridge’s uncle hit out yesterday at a ‘speeding’ cyclist who ran over his dog and ‘left him for dead’. Gary Goldsmith, the controversial brother of Kate’s mother, Carole Middleton, posted a picture of the alleged culprit who hit his chihuahua, Cheech, on social media. His accompanying message included the words: ‘Evil s***… Coming to get ya.’ The flamboyant millionaire businessman, who was once caught up in a tabloid sting in which he was alleged to have offered a reporter drugs and prostitutes, was with his wife Julie-Ann in Regent’s Park at 8.30am yesterday. As he went for a cycle ride, Mrs Goldsmith took six-year-old Cheech and their other dog Keela, four, for a stroll in the Central London park when a cyclist, listening to music on his headphones, ran straight over Cheech. Mr Goldsmith, 49, told the Mail: ‘The dogs were a few feet away from her when a cyclist, wearing headphones, just came out of nowhere. He was going far too fast and didn’t slow down. ‘Suddenly he went over Cheech with both wheels. Cheech yelped and did a parachute roll before lying down on his side. He looked dead.’ Although both his wife and a witness challenged the man, he merely abused them before riding off. ‘Julie-Ann yelled to the bloke to get off his bike but he just ignored her,’ Mr Goldsmith said. ‘Then an American lady, who witnessed everything, walked over and said to him, “You were going far too fast. Give me your details”. ‘She told Julie-Ann that she thought it looked almost deliberate. But the cyclist just said to her, “Don’t get hysterical, you American”. By this time Julie-Ann was crouching by Cheech and he coughed up some blood. ‘The bloke then turned to her and said: “I haven’t killed your dog.” The American then grabbed Julie-Ann’s phone and took a photo of him but he just turned away and sped off out of the park. ‘I was on the other side of the park when Julie-Ann called me, completely distraught. I immediately cycled over and found Cheech completely limp.’ Cheech is being treated by Bruce Fogle, father of TV presenter Ben, at The London Vet Clinic. He is on a drip awaiting further tests. Search: Mr Goldsmith released a picture of the alleged culprit after his dog was run over and 'left for dead' Mr Goldsmith, who regularly puts pictures of his two chihuahuas on social media, posted a picture of the man he claims was responsible on his Twitter feed with the message: ‘Know this man?? ‘Racing through @theroyalparks Regents Park this morning ran over our dog and just left him for dead!’ Mr Goldsmith told the Mail that he was disgusted at the cyclist’s callousness and wants him to be prosecuted. ‘Most people, if they hurt an animal, would want to help. That’s your natural reaction,’ he said. ‘I’m not going to let

Bath will look to their England contingent to lead the charge against Leinster in Dublin as they attempt to make amends for their Six Nations defeat at the Aviva Stadium last month. George Ford, Dave Attwood, Jonathan Joseph and Anthony Watson all return to the scene of the 19-9 defeat by Ireland which halted another Grand Slam crusade, and their club’s head coach feels that setback could prove beneficial in their Champions Cup quarter-final. Jonathan Joseph will be among Bath's England contingent in Dublin on Saturday . Bath centre Joseph has a point to prove after England’s Six Nations defeat in Dublin . ‘George, Anthony, JJ and Dave have been telling the rest of the squad what the Aviva is going to be like,’ said Bath head coach Mike Ford. ‘Their experience of that is valuable for us. ‘In the long run, these players come back better experienced and the fact they’ve done what they’ve done with England this season means they are not going to have any fear of going back to the Aviva.’ The leading quartet have points to prove in the Irish capital… . Dave Attwood . The lock produced an energetic performance for England but the line-out he was running crucially malfunctioned twice and he needlessly conceded a penalty. He will be determined to deliver a dominant carrying, aerial and defensive performance. George Ford . As the national team’s playmaker, he was pressured by the intensity of the Irish defence and kicking game — which he didn’t manage to match — in an otherwise superb championship campaign. He will crave the platform to run the show with typical authority. Fly-half George Ford will seek to run the show for Bath in Champions Cup quarter-final . Jonathan Joseph . Bath’s electric centre was a deadly presence in England’s midfield in other games but in Dublin he was not given the ammunition to fire. If he is presented with enough ball then he has the individual talent to shred the home defence. Leinster have been studying him carefully. Anthony Watson . On the wing for England, the outing at the Aviva Stadium was not his finest, as he struggled to handle the barrage from the air. On Saturday, he will be positioned at full back for his club so he must be much more assured under the high ball and use his license to counter-attack from deep to full effect. And here are four of the Ireland players in Leinster colours aiming to sink English hopes again… . Cian Healy . The Lions prop had a limited impact on Ireland’s Six Nations title success as he was eased back into action after injury. However, he starts today for the Blues and will be fired up to demonstrate his clout as a strong carrier who can also more than hold his own in the scrum battle. Leinster's Rob Kearney (right) is a real threat as a strike runner . Jamie Heaslip . The experienced No 8 missed the visit of England after suffering fractured vertebrae in his back caused by the

Summary: Bath's England contingent return for Champions Cup quarter-final . Premiership side face Leinster at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday . Quartet will be seeking to make amends for Six Nations defeat .
