At first sight it might appear shocking that a clapped-out car such as this would be on the market for almost a quarter of a million pounds. But the dishevelled-looking vehicle is a celebrated 1962 Aston Martin DB4 Series III and will be worth three times its £220,000 price if fully restored. Despite its appearance it remains an attractive prospect for many car enthusiasts by offering the rare chance to restore a virtually-untouched DB4. Opportunity: Many car enthusiasts would jump at the rare chance to restore this virtually-untouched 1962 Aston Martin DB4 Series III . Pricey: The restoration project will cost upwards of £350,000 - meaning whoever buys it will have to pay £570,000 to return it to its former glory . Inside: The car, registered as BTB 478A, is being sold at Bonhams' Aston Martin sale in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, on May 9 . But the restoration project will cost up to £350,000 - meaning whoever buys it will have to pay at least £570,000 to return it to its former glory. There were about 1,100 DB4 Series III cars made from 1958 to 1963 - and it is becoming tougher to find one that offers a restoration project. The British vehicle was supplied new in July 1961 to a Robert Drummond of London, who lived in a central postcode region in the capital of SW1. The car - to be auctioned in Buckinghamshire - was off the road in storage when bought by the unnamed current owner in 1982 as a restoration project. Work was carried out the next year - including the engine being stripped, fully rebuilt and a new chassis fitted - but it has hardly been touched since. The owner, who lives in the North West of England, has now decided it is time to part with the car that has not been driven in three decades.

In the boot: The engine was stripped, fully rebuilt and a new chassis fitted in 1983 - but the DB4 vehicle has hardly been touched since . How it could look: A file picture of a 1959 Aston Martin DB4. There were about 1,100 DB4 Series III cars manufactured from 1958 to 1963 . A spokesman for auctioneers Bonhams said: ‘We are advised that the Aston is completely original and comes with all components including the original leather interior, the latter in good condition. Someone has had a go at restoring it but for whatever reason never saw the project through. 'It has not been on the road since the work was done. Offered for completion and sold strictly as viewed, this is a potentially most rewarding restoration project. ‘If you take the car to Aston Martin to restore the most expensive bill you will get will be £350,000. ‘Today a fully restored Aston Martin DB5 can be worth between £500,000 to £750,000 and DB4s are slightly behind them.’ The car, registered as BTB 478A,

Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg found themselves in unusual positions towards the rear of the timesheet at the end of the first practice session for the Bahrain Grand Prix while Kimi Raikkonen posted the fastest time. But there was no alarm as Mercedes focused on a particular plan, with the 90-minute session at the Bahrain International Circuit hardly representative of what all the drivers will face in qualifying and the race. At the start of FP1, and with the track exceptionally dusty - a situation which will naturally improve over the weekend with use - the circuit and air temperatures were a searing 52 and 36 degrees centigrade respectively. Ferrari racing driver Kimi Raikkonen finished first in Friday's practice session for the Bahrain Grand Prix . Raikkonen is all smiles during the practice session at the Bahrain International Circuit . With qualifying and the race due to start late evening at 6pm local time, such temperatures will drop considerably. It meant Mercedes focused on laps rather than outright pace, with Rosberg chalking up 23 and Hamilton 22 - but with their times far behind the lead car, Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen. The Finn set the pace with a lap of one minute 37.827secs, two tenths of a second up on team-mate Sebastian Vettel, the German who trails reigning champion Hamilton by 13 points after the first three races of the campaign. Vettel only managed 12 laps, primarily due to a loss of power with his car relatively early in the session, but with enough time in hand to ensure he returned to the circuit. Williams' Valtteri Bottas followed the Ferrari pair, a little more than half a second off the pace. The Finn was followed by Toro Rosso's Carlos Sainz Jr and Max Verstappen in fourth and sixth, with Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo splitting the young pair. Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton finished 16th during Friday's Bahrain practice session . Hamilton looked in high spirits as he made his way into the Mercedes garage for the practice session . McLaren's Fernando Alonso was an encouraging seventh, finishing 0.771secs down, but for the team there were further woes as Jenson Button saw his session come to an end after just three minutes. Both McLarens saw the chequered flag in China on Sunday, with the team hailing that a breakthrough after their issues with new power-unit supplier Honda so far this season. But at the start of his first timed lap on the approach to turn one, Button spun as the engine cut out mid-corner. The 35-year-old had no choice but to abandon and take the short walk back to the garage whilst marshals rolled his car down a side road exit. Although the car returned to the pits, Button's mechanics were unable to correct the fault and get the veteran back out on track. Jenson Button stalled his car during the practice session in what was another disappointing day for McLaren . Two more rookies, Sauber's Felipe Nasr and Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat were eighth and ninth on the board, eight tenths

Summary: Kimi Raikkonen finished ahead of Ferrari team-mate Sebastian Vettel . British driver and Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton finished 16th . Jenson Button stalled his car right at start of the practice session .


What would high fashion adverts look like if the designers used real women, rather than teenage models or celebrity faces, to showcase their latest clothing and beauty lines? Photo stylist Nathalie Croquet, from Paris, has recreated a series of glossy commercials for her project SPOOF. The exhibition includes parodies of ads from Givenchy, Lancome, Lanvin and Acne. In the images Nathalie has recreated the adverts completely, from the clothes the model wears, to the poses, make-up, hair colour and surroundings. Scroll down for video . Lancome: Nathalie Croquet a photo-stylist from Paris created a photo series called SPOOF in which she recreated the ads of famous designers and brands . Natalie said: 'SPOOF is an artistic project of 11 photos, we did an exhibition in February in Paris with my pictures in a big size. 'I had the idea in October and we worked on it for two months. I have worked in the fashion business as a photo stylist for magazines and advertising for 25 years. 'So I am the person who has ideas for ad campaigns. It was a strange idea for for me to be on the other side of the camera!' During the course of her career Nathalie has worked with over 200 different photographers on various campaigns. ELEVENPARIS: In this image a smiling Nathalie emulates the pose Kate Moss adopted for the French brand . Lanvin: The series of pictures took two months to create and Nathalie said it was interesting to be on the other side of the camera . Nathalie said that the project helped her to understand her job on a deeper level: 'By changing role I discovered my craft from another angle.' She said that she hoped the humour in the images would provide people with the opportunity for, 'laughter and reflection.' She told Buzzfeed: 'I don’t really see myself. You know, like how you don’t recognize your voice in a telephone message?' Eric Bompard: Just like the real life adverts Nathalie's pictures were retouched, for example her eye colour was changed to blue for this Eric Bompard-inspired shoot . Acne Studios: Nathalie copied the hair, make-up and poses from the original shots . She continued: 'I feel people need a more spiritual approach to life, and good fun. I’m happy to give them that, even if I’m just making fun of myself.' Daniel Schweizer the photographer who shot the images said: 'Most of the time we look at advertising images without analysis, without fully perceiving the extent that they have been worked on. 'Changed clothes and accessories, digital retouching, skin cleansed, faked decor, body stretched; it is only when we take a closer look at these images that we get the full measure. Their apparent simplicity is the result of a huge job.' Isabel Marant: For this shoot only Nathalie's boots were different from those worn by Gisele Bundchen in the real thing . The brazilian supermodel posed on the floor in this black and white Isabel Marant advert . For the project Nathalie had her hair and make-up professionally styled so

Summary: French stylist Nathalie Croquet stepped in front of the lens for pic project . She recreated spoof ads for brands such as Givenchy, Lancome & Lanvin . The series of 11 pictures were shot by photographer Daniel Schweizer .


More than 20,000 foreign fighters have fled to Syria and Iraq, turning the region into an ‘international finishing school’ for jihadists, an alarming report found. Fighters from 100 nations – more than half the countries in the world – have joined militant groups such as Al Qaeda and Islamic State, according to research by the United Nations. Worryingly, the report warned if IS was defeated in the war-torn region then the barbarous foreign fighters could be scattered across the world. Scroll down for video . More than 20,000 foreign fighters from more than half the countries in the world have joined militant groups such as Al Qaeda and Islamic State, according to a report by the United Nations . The number of foreign fighters worldwide soared by a staggering 71 per cent between the middle of 2014 and March 2015 after IS gained significant territory. Syria and Iraq were by far the biggest destinations, with over 20,000 foreign fighters travelling to the region to fight for mainly IS but also the Al-Nusra Front. The panel said the thousands of foreign fighters who travelled to both countries are living and working in ‘a veritable “international finishing school” for extremists’ as was the case in Afghanistan in the 1990s. Afghan security forces estimated in March – three months after British troops withdrew - that about 6,500 foreign fighters were active in the country. And it said hundreds of foreigners are fighting in Yemen, Libya and Pakistan, around 100 in Somalia, and others in the Sahel countries in northern Africa, and in the Philippines. The panel of experts monitoring UN sanctions against Al-Qaeda said in the report that the scale of the problem has increased over the past three years and the flow of foreign fighters ‘is higher than it has ever been historically’. The number of foreign fighters worldwide soared by a staggering 71 per cent between the middle of 2014 and March 2015 after IS gained significant territory . The overall number of foreign terrorist fighters has ‘risen sharply from a few thousand ... a decade ago to more than 25,000 today,’ the panel said in the report to the UN Security Council. A military defeat of the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq could have the unintended consequence of scattering foreign terrorist fighters across the world, the panel said. It noted that the ‘watch list’ in Turkey - a key crossing point to Syria and Iraq - now includes 12,500 individuals. And while governments are focusing on countering the threat from fighters returning home, the panel said it’s possible that some may be traumatised by what they saw and need psychological help. Others may be recruited by criminal networks. The number of countries the fighters come from has also risen dramatically from a small group in the 1990s to over 100 today, including some that have never had previous links with Al-Qaeda associated groups, the panel said. It cited the ‘high number’of foreign fighters from Tunisia, Morocco, France and Russia, the increase in fighters from the Maldives, Finland and Trinidad and

Summary: Number of foreign fighters worldwide soared by 71% from mid-2014 to now . Syria and Iraq were most popular regions - mainly for IS and Al-Nusra Front . United Nations report said fighters came from over half world's countries . It warned if IS was defeated foreign fighters could scatter across the globe .

The couple was told that the plastic crate broke open after one of the ropes became tangled on something . At the time of the disappearance, Jennifer had told MailOnline Travel that she wasn't satisfied with the way Felix's crate was secured and transported on the Etihad Airways flight. She said his crate was tied down to a large metal pallet and cracked open, apparently when one of the straps got caught on something as it was being moved to a cargo bay after the April 1 flight. She said: 'To find out how he was transported, I was horrified, I was sick. They basically strapped him in like he was an old box. 'If I had known he was going to travel like that we would have looked for other alternatives. 'He is a part of our family. He's like a dog. He plays fetch and hide and seek, and he's the coolest little cat.' Jennifer wasn't sure which company was responsible for transferring Felix from the plane, but a cargo manager called her and her husband into an office

I have him on Fantasy Manager and he's won me a load of points! I was so sorry to hear about his injury. David de Gea is a great friend — I have known him since the early youth groups with Spain. He is enjoying one of the best seasons I have seen from a keeper. David de Gea makes a save from Swansea's Ki Sung-yueng during one of many excellent performances . RIGHT BACK: NATHANIEL CLYNE . Fast, direct and athletic. I like watching him go forward and he won't let you down defensively. He has been a major part of Southampton's excellent season. Southampton's Nathaniel Clyne (left) is now in the England squad after a fine season with Saints . CENTRE BACK: JOHN TERRY . It hasn't been a great season for centre backs but Terry is still a really tough opponent. When we played against Chelsea just before Christmas, I was impressed by the way Jose Mourinho organised his defence. He put Nemanja Matic and John Mikel Obi on me.

Chelsea skipper John Terry has helped his side to the top of the Premier League table . CENTRE BACK: RYAN SHAWCROSS . He is a very strong defender and is a seriously tough opponent in training.

An elderly widow has been left distraught after her pet dog suffered third degree burns following a routine operation. Marina Lyons, 80, took her beloved dog Rosie to the PDSA PetAid Hospital in Hull for an operation to remove her spleen after a scan detected a tumour. The operation, carried out three weeks ago, was successful but when Marina returned home with the ten-year-old Lhasa Apso dog, she noticed lots of bruising on the its back. Marina Lyons, 80, discovered third degree burns on her dog Rosie's back after taking the Lhasa Apso for surgery to remove her spleen due to a suspected tumour . When Ms Lyons discovered bruising on the dog's back she asked the vet about it, who told her it was from the operation. Not satisfied, she took the dog for a second opinion, when the burns were discovered . Marina said: 'After we discovered the bruising we rang the PDSA and they advised us to bring Rosie in for them to have a look at her. 'The vet told us they had put her on a heat pad to aid her recovery, which had led to a burn on her side. They said the bruising was from the operation. 'They then told us they didn't need to see Rosie for another four weeks.' Not satisfied with the first vet's explanation, Mrs Lyons took Rosie to Vets4Pets in Anlaby for a second opinion. Marina said: 'The vet there was shocked. He wanted to see the extent of her bruising and decided to shave Rosie's hair on her back. 'It was when he shaved her hair he discovered third degree burns on her back. We were horrified.' Rosie had to have treatment to remove dead skin from the burn, and is expected to have a skin graft. It is thought the injuries were caused by a heat blanket used during her recovery from spleen surgery . Rosie had a further operation on Tuesday to remove the dead skin tissue from the burn. A skin graft is also planned for next week. Marina said: 'When you take a sick dog to the vets you do expect the operation to be a success, which it has, but you do not expect the dog to end up like this.' A PDSA spokeswoman confirmed they had received a complaint regarding Rosie's treatment. She said: 'We take all complaints of this nature very seriously and have launched a full investigation. 'While we cannot discuss individual cases due to client confidentiality, we will be in direct contact with Mrs Lyons during the investigation.'

Summary: Marina Lyons, 80, took pet dog Rosie for operation to remove her spleen . After successful surgery noticed dark bruising along the dog's back .

The Champions League returned this week with eight teams vying for a place in the semi-finals. Three of them are from Spain and with Madrid rivals Real and Atletico, squaring up on Tuesday, the papers had plenty to go on.

Enrique, though, says: 'I've not seen the pictures from the Pizjuan (Sevilla's stadium)'. Mundo Deportivo claim that Barca need to leave the 'silly things' to one side in a decisive game. PSG do not have Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thiago Motta or Marco Verratti to call upon, but they do have 'David Luiz and a dangerous attack.' The Italian papers focus on Juventus' important victory over Monaco in their Champions League quarter-final . Arturo Vidal took most of the plaudits from the press after scoring the only goal from the penalty spot . Over in Italy, Wednesday's newspapers are screaming the name of Arturo Vidal, who scored the only goal of the game to give Juventus the advantage over opponents Monaco. Although the Chilean took most of the plaudits, La Gazzetta dello Sport pay tribute to goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, labelling him 'the best on the pitch'. The Italian paper are honest in their assessment of the result, admitting that Vidal's goal came from a 'disputed penalty', and they call the win a 'precious result'. Elsewhere, Corriere dello Sport write of a 'stretched and difficult match' while Allegri, after the game, commented: 'See? They are strong...' Tuttosport lead with the headline 'Ole Vidal',

Felipe Massa believes he has finally silenced his critics following his storming start to the new Formula One season. Williams head of vehicle performance Rob Smedley claimed earlier this week he was seeing the best of the Brazilian in their nine years working together. After twice being written off in the past, initially following his life-threatening accident in 2009 and again when he left Ferrari at the end of 2013, Massa appears to be a driver at the top of his game. Felipe Massa is preparing for the Bahrain Grand Prix this weekend as he looks ahead to practice . Asked whether he felt he was driving better than ever, certainly compared to his title-challenging year in 2008, speaking ahead of this weekend's, Massa replied: 'I think so.' 'The only thing you cannot say (on this occasion) is we are fighting for the championship. 'We had maybe the top car in 2008, and now we are the third team in the championship.

'It's fantastic because the driver cannot do anything alone. You need the whole group working for the best of the driver, and that's really counting a lot for me. 'Maybe also, when many of you wrote after my accident that it changed completely my driving, maybe that's not correct.' Suggested to Massa he had been too easily written off, he said: 'It's much easier to write than drive.' Massa finished 5th at the Shanghai Grand Prix last week and currently sits 4th in the standings .

Images revealing the shocking extent of gender stereotyping in toy shops have been posted online under the hashtag #NotAnAprilFools. The pictures show a wide divide between the aspirations set out for girls and boys, with females offered pink beautician's outfits while males are offered doctor's uniforms. Products intended for infants are equally polarised, with babygros for girls emblazoned with a slogan that reads: 'I hate my thighs'. The fancy dress options for girls and boys hint at very different future careers . Babygros reading 'I hate my thighs' and 'I'm super' left customers in one store feeling cross . By contrast, the boy's effort offers up the much more pleasant: 'I'm super'. The #NotAnAprilFools feed, which was launched by campaign group Let Toys Be Toys, is based on the idea that the toys are so ridiculous that they must be a joke. The images sparked a furious response from Twitter users, with several getting in touch to complain about the gender stereotyping. Bethany Usher's angry Tweet was typical, with the journalist writing: 'When I was little @ELCtoys were actually about Learning. Now about learning gender stereotypes?' Other examples included separate cookbooks, with boys getting to make gourmet burgers and giant chocolate sundaes, while girls make small pink cupcakes. Girls' cookbooks include recipes for delicate cupcakes, while boys are encouraged to make burgers . Pink has become the colour of choice for companies marketing products for girls . Many more of the boys' words evoke action and bravery whereas the girls' ones focus on looks and fluff . Let Toys Be Toys, a campaign group set up by a group of British parents two years ago, is petitioning retailers to end the practice of labelling products by gender. One of the campaign's founders, Tricia Lowther, 46, a self-employed copywriter from Durham, told MailOnline: . 'It does bother a lot of parents, we seem to have tapped in to a huge and growing sense of frustration with the way toys are promoted according to outdated, illogical and sexist stereotypes. 'I can't speak for any of the others but what pushed me to make a stand was the realisation, after my daughter was born, that gender stereotyping in children's products had become worse than when I was a child myself back in the Seventies. 'It's something that has become almost impossible to escape and is very limiting for children.' Boys will be learning to draw warriors while women draw faces and flowers . Wizards and werewolves are favourite subjects for boys' books - but not for girls . Many parents responded to the images of the sexist toys by posting pictures of their children playing with 'the other gender's toys'. They included two girls playing with a train set, a little boy pushing a pram and a little girl covered in mud playing in the garden. The campaign has gathered momentum in response to what Let Toys Be Toys describe as the increasing gender stereotyping of toys and the dearth of neutral playthings. Not all, however, are so keen with many parents arguing that pink

Manchester United have been brilliant in the second half of the season but the defeat at Everton was a timely reminder that they still have a long way to go. United played like Sunderland on a bad day – they were that horrendous. Recently I wrote about what United need to take them back to a proper challenge for domestic and European glory. Now it's time to name names. Teams will have bad days, of course. It's no surprise to those of us who can see his quality and importance to United, but without Michael Carrick they look far more beatable. I can't see how Everton score that first goal if Carrick is on the pitch. Louis van Gaal needs some big signings in the summer to turn Manchester United into title contenders . Borussia Dortmund's midfield pair of Ilkay Gundogan (left) and Sven Bender (right) fit the bill . Daley Blind is a poverty-stricken pauper's version of Carrick in that position. The Dutchman is a slower version of the Geordie, which is quite an achievement, and so more reinforcements are needed. That's why it would be a good idea for United to raid Borussia Dortmund. Ilkay Gundogan has already been linked with a move to Old Trafford – it's a no-brainer. This player is physical yet graceful. He can spot a pass and execute it first time. He's dynamic and never hides. Alongside him in that Dortmund midfield is Sven Bender - the German Carrick. These players make relatively few tackles because they anticipate and intercept – they read the game. Daley Blind struggled to cope in Manchester United's midfield during their 3-0 defeat by Everton . David de Gea, Blind and Ashley Young react after conceding a goal in a big defeat by Everton on Sunday . But when Bender tackles, the opponent knows about it – he is a beast. Despite his frame (he's 6ft 1in, slightly shorter than Carrick), he is quick to step into a tackle. Opponents think they have a bit of time on the ball but Bender makes up the ground in a flash to rob them. What I'm saying here is that United may need two players to replace Carrick. And those two fit the bill. Both are winners, both have had years in Dortmund playing some magnificent football. And if Louis van Gaal is raiding Dortmund he might as well sign Armenia's finest Henrikh Mkhitaryan. What a playmaker this guy is – he floats around picking the ball up wherever he can, gets the team into advanced positions and can spot a pass. He can score goals too. Manchester United look far more vulnerable without Michael Carrick in their midfield . Armenian creative threat Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been linked with a move to the Premier League before . Gundogan, like Bender, could be leaving Dortmund this summer along with departing manager Jurgen Klopp . I think he's a more positive version of Juan Mata – look how often the Spaniard gave the ball away at Goodison on Sunday. There's a lot to admire

Summary: Defeat by Everton showed that Manchester United have a long way to go . Daley Blind is a poverty-stricken pauper's version of Michael Carrick . United should bring in Sven Bender and Ilkay Gundogan in midfield . Playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan would also improve Louis van Gaal's side .

The IRS' overloaded phone system hung up on more than eight million taxpayers this filing season as the agency cut millions of dollars from customer services. For those who weren't disconnected, only 40percent actually got through to a person. Many of those people had to wait on hold for more than 30 minutes, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said Wednesday. Dead line: The IRS' overloaded phone system hung up on more than 8 million taxpayers this filing season as the agency cut millions of dollars from taxpayer services . A new staff report by Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee says the IRS diverted millions from taxpayer services and other areas to pay for President Barack Obama's health law. At a hearing Wednesday, Koskinen blamed budget cuts approved by Congress. The agency's budget has been cut by $1.2 billion since 2010. 'Customer service, both on the phone and in person has been much far worse than anyone would want,' Koskinen told a Ways and Means subcommittee. Speaking out: Many of those people had to wait on hold for more than 30 minutes, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said Wednesday (pictured above) 'It's simply a matter of not having enough people to answer the phones and provide service at our walk-in sites as a result of cuts to our budget.' Koskinen said the agency is required by law to implement the health law, leaving him with few other places to cut. He said the agency requested a total of $600 million over the past two years for computer upgrades to implement the health law as well as a new law requiring foreign banks to report information about U.S. account holders. 'In both years the Congress gave us zero dollars so we had no choice but to look elsewhere,' Koskinen said.

Rangers boss Stuart McCall insists it will not be a major disaster if his side are forced to play two extra games to reclaim their Premiership return. The Gers currently lead the way in the race for second spot in the Championship, with a one-point advantage over Hibernian and a six-point cushion separating them from Queen of the South. Finishing immediately behind newly-crowned champions Hearts would spare the Ibrox men the bother of two extra hazardous games in the play-offs, with the teams finishing third and fourth facing off over two legs before taking on the second tier's runners-up. The winner of that tie then meets the Premiership's second-bottom side in a crucial winner-takes-all battle. Stuart McCall is relaxed about the prospect of Rangers finishing third in the Scottish Championship . But having stumbled to a 3-0 defeat against Queens and a 1-1 draw with basement side Livingston either side of Sunday's four-goal romp over Raith, there is no guarantee the Light Blues will see off Saturday's trip to Dumbarton without another slip-up. McCall, though, is ready to take whatever outcome is thrown his way. He said: 'At this moment second place is in our own hands. If you'd given me that a few weeks ago when I first came in, I'd have snapped your hands off for it. 'There were one or two people who thought we wouldn't even reach the play-offs. McCall faces the media on Friday ahead of Saturday's trip to Dumbarton as Rangers look to hold on to second . 'We've done that first part. Obviously we want to get second but Hibs and Queens want the same. 'You don't want to have to play the extra games but if you have to, you will. If you have to get through to the top league by playing six games then so be it. 'Of course it's important to us to finish second. But if we finish third or fourth that does not mean we won't get promotion. It's not the end of the world.' McCall was also happy to see a peaceful resolution reached after the row raised by the Scottish Professional Football League's messy meddling with the Championship fixture list. Rangers' final-day tie with Hearts at Tynecastle was pushed back 24 hours to Sunday, May 3, to accommodate Sky Sports. McCall joins in training on Friday as the Rangers boss prepares his side for Saturday's clash . But that left Hibs raging as having played their last game at Falkirk on the Saturday, they claimed McCall's team would be advantaged by the fact they would know the result required in Gorgie to claim second. Compromise was reached when Sky gave the league permission to switch the Hearts-Rangers tie back to its original May 2 slot. 'Everyone playing at the same time is fine and the right thing to do,' said McCall. But there could yet be more tinkering with the schedule to come. Hibs and Falkirk - who have yet to be counted out of the play-off chase - will battle for a place in the William

Summary: Rangers are currently second in the Championship with three games to go . Finishing third would mean playing two extra play-off matches vs fourth . But manager Stuart McCall is relaxed about the prospect of finishing third .


They were a hit together at Liverpool on the pitch during the 1990s and it seems that John Barnes and Jamie Redknapp have reproduced another smash off it.

Men do almost twice the amount of housework after they retire - but they are still doing far less than their wives, according to new research. The study of 1,302 German couples found working men did just two hours of house work each day, which almost doubled to 3.9 hours when they retired. But they are still lagging behind their stay-at-home female partners when it comes to sharing the burden. Division of labour: Men do just two hours of housework a day while working, which increases to 3.9 after they retire - but it is still far less than the amount carried out by their stay-at-home wives . The study, published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, found women who did not work did an average of 6.8 hours before their husband's retired. Chores included doing the laundry and the washing up, as well as running errands, according to New York Magazine. However, the number of hours they did each day only dropped to 6.1 after their husbands retired. What's more, it seems the men were still avoiding the washing up, even post-retirement. The research noted the increase in the men's hours was mainly taken up by more 'manly' chores - like repairs and gardening. However, the study - conducted by Thomas Leopold at the University of Amsterdam and Jan Skopek at the European University Institute - does not reveal how the burden was shared when both the husband and wife were working. Manly: The men were also less likely to do the 'female' chores, sticking to gardening and repairs .

A 27-year-old mother has been charged with child neglect and had her twins taken into care after her three-month-old daughter was found dead. The baby was found on the floor of the roach infested apartment with bites on her legs and head. Brittany Cherokee Dawn Bell of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, appeared in Washington County District Court via video monitor from jail on Monday. The charge of child neglect was pursued by authorities over homicide as the Medical Examiner's Office could not determine the cause of death. Police were called to Bell's home on January 8 after she reported the death of the infant. Brittany Cherokee Dawn Bell of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, was charged with child neglect after the death of her three-month-old daughter, whose body was found with roach bites on her legs and head . While Bell slept on the couch, baby Alice somehow suffocated on the floor nearby. It is unclear how this happened and for how long she lay there . Her initial story was that she had put the baby, Alice, in a crib and then found her dead later on. She then changed her story and admitted to laying the baby on the floor. Bell said that the baby might have been smothered by her 18-month-old twins out of jealousy after she had fallen asleep while watching a movie with them. She said she was afraid one of them had killed Alice by sitting on her, which was why she initially said the child was in the crib. An autopsy listed the cause of death as sudden unexplained infant death with the manner of death undetermined. The medical examiner found abrasions on Alice's legs and head caused by roaches that infested the apartment. In an affidavit, investigator Jim Warring said: 'I can conclude that she laid the baby on the floor and fell asleep without waking during which time Alice may have been suffocated by one or both of her twins or became distressed due to the surface of the floor and suffocated.' 'Also enough time passed that roaches were able to start feeding on both the baby's legs and head,' he added. 'All of this took place less than 10 feet from the couch where Bell was reportedly sleeping.' Bell's initial story was that she had put baby Alice in a crib and found her dead later on. She then changed her story, telling authorities that she was worried one of her twins had smothered the baby . The charge of child neglect relates to a previous incident, on December 31, when a neighbor called police concerned that the children had been left alone and were crying. Bell returned to the apartment approximately five minutes after officers arrived and claimed not to have been away for very long, and acted like it was not a big deal. Neighbors told police that the children had been left alone on other occasions. The twins were taken away from Bell after the death of Alice. Tulsa World reported that Bell has other children but they are not in her care. The

Summary: Three-month old baby Alice died of unknown causes and was found with roach bites on her legs and head . Brittany Bell, 27, found the lifeless infant and was worried one of her twins might be responsible after she fell asleep while watching a movie with them . As no cause of death was determined authorities could not pursue a homicide charge . Bell has a history of leaving her young children unattended, prompting neighbors to call the police on a previous occasion . The twins have been taken into care and Bell faces a May 8 hearing .


At least three terror groups plotting attacks against Britain have changed their communication methods since the leaks by Edward Snowden, it was claimed last night. The Al Qaeda-linked networks have altered their tactics since the fugitive stole intelligence files from GCHQ and the US National Security Agency, according to a report. Extremist websites have also moved to protect their digital communications by releasing encryption programmes for followers, making it harder for extremists to be tracked down. Scroll down for video . Last Week Tonight host John Oliver flew to Moscow to grill Edward Snowden about the leaking of 'harmful' documents and asks him to explain why he did it . Evidence of the harm done to intelligence agencies across the world after the former CIA contractor leaked 1.7million classified documents in 2013 is compiled in the first comprehensive public analysis of the leaks by the Henry Jackson Society security think-tank. The Snowden files revealed details about covert attempts by agencies to view citizens' private information by gathering internet histories, emails, text and call records and passwords. Now the Henry Jackson Society has found that at least three Al Qaeda affiliates are known to have altered their communications. The think-tank has also found other groups using human couriers instead of email and mobile phones. Snowden fled justice in the US to Hong Kong, then Russia, where he was granted asylum and now lives in a secret location . Jihadist websites also released three 'significant' encryption programmes 'within a three- to five-month time frame of the leaks', meaning fanatics are harder to detect and encrypted emails take longer to decipher. Report author Robin Simcox said: 'The focus has been about the so-called mass surveillance by GCHQ and the NSA but these leaks have allowed extremist groups and jihadists to look at our capabilities – what we can and can't do – which has given them a great insight. 'At a time when the range of threats against the West has never been greater, with Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Somalia and Al Qaeda in Pakistan, it is astonishing the focus has been more on the shortcomings of our intelligence agencies and not the fact Snowden has helped terror suspects drop off the radar. 'He has caused severe damage to our ability to fight extremism.' MI5 director general Andrew Parker has called the traitor's actions a 'gift to terrorists'. On Monday, Snowden revealed he had not read all the top-secret dossiers he stole before handing them to newspapers including the Guardian – a move which has put lives in jeopardy from terrorists. He claims he had to act because the US and other Western governments' policies were a 'threat to democracy'. He fled justice in the US to Hong Kong, then Russia, where he was granted asylum and now lives in a secret location.

Summary: Al-Qaeda linked networks have altered tactics since Snowden stole files . He stole intelligence files from GCHQ and US National Security Agency . He fled justice in US to Hong Kong, then Russia where granted asylum .


When Lane Smith passed away in a freak accident last July, he left behind his heavily-pregnant girlfriend and their unborn son. But now, nearly eight months after his passing, the young Oklahoma family has been reunited in their first ever family portrait, thanks to some clever photoshopping by a local photographer. Kayli Henley was snapping pictures of six-month-old Taos and his 20-year-old mother, Sierra Sharry, when the young mom asked the photographer if she could make their family complete. So Henley took a photograph of Smith from the family and, with a ghostly filter, fitted the image around his girlfriend and son, as if he were standing over them. Scroll down for video . Family portrait: A photoshopped image shows Sierra Sharry holding her six-month-old son Taos with her boyfriend, the baby's father, Lane Smith, standing behind them. Smith passed away before his son's birth . Sharry called the ghostly final picture 'amazing'. 'Lane's not physically here with us, of course, but that picture represents to us that he is always watching over us and he will always be there for us no matter what,' she told KOCO. After sharing the image to her Facebook page, the photographer found that other people thought the image was amazing too. It has been liked more than 200,000 times and shared more than 25,000 times, and Henley has been inundated with requests to create other pictures for families who have lost a loved one. In a post shared on the Facebook page, Sharry explained that in July 2014, she and 26-year-old Smith had been nervous about the impending birth of their son. 'We were scared as any new parents would be but ready for the adventure together,' she said. Excitement: 26-year-old Lane Smith, pictured with his girlfriend in the couple's pregnancy announcement, died after hitting his head in an accident in July 2014. His son was born just a few weeks later . When she was around eight months pregnant, they went to jet boat races in El Reno, she recalled. But the weather was too warm for Sharry, so she left her boyfriend there with his family. 'When I left Lane that day I had no clue it would be the last time I'd see him,' she wrote. But in the early hours of the next day, she awoke to a call that Smith had been rushed to the OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City after he had fallen and hit his head. She and her mother raced to his side. They never considered his injuries could be life-threatening, but once they got there, they were given 'absolutely no hope that Lane was going to make it'. 'July 13th 2014 was the absolute worst day of my life,' she explained. 'I lost my best friend. The father of my unborn child. And since that day I have felt so empty inside. A part of me will forever be missing. I loved that man more than life itself.' Strong: Sharry said that part of her has been missing since the death of Taos' father but

It's a brave politician indeed who is willing to expose their own battle with their squeezed middle for the cameras. As the election gets underway the gloves have come off between the main parties, and for three frontbenchers the tops have come off as well. Tory health minister Dan Poulter, Lib Dem minister Tom Brake and Labour frontbencher Gavin Shuker imposed strict cuts on their calories and put themselves at the mercy of a personal trainer for Men's Health magazine. Scroll down for video . Health minister Dan Poulter saw his weight fell from 105kg to 102.5kg, losing two inches off his 35in waist. His body fat fell from 24 per cent to 18 per cent . Cooped up in the Department of Health, he admitted it is difficult to practice what he preaches on keeping healthy . Skipping breakfast, grabbing lunch on the go and late nights in Parliament's bars and restaurants can take its toll on MPs when they arrive in Westminster. After five years of the coalition government, the three MPs agreed to take part in the feature for the Men's Health magazine, which is better known for its front covers of rippling muscles and toned six packs. Each was given strict orders to eat more healthily, do more exercise and take better care of their bodies. There was the inevitable unflattering 'before' photo shoot, followed by a full-length portrait to show off their new physique. Mr Poulter, a GP first elected in 2010, could be expected to already know what it takes to stay healthy. But cooped up in the Department of Health, he admitted it is difficult to practice what he preaches. 'I have an erratic diary, working 15-hour days, so it does require real dedication to get gym sessions in', he said. His personal trainer Stephen White put him on a regime of fat-burning intervals and muscle-building resistance training. He said: 'Dan really struggled at first because of his back – we focused on loosening and developing it to pull his shoulders back and correct his terrible posture.' In the end Mr Poulter's weight fell from 105kg to 102.5kg, losing two inches off his 35in waist. His body fat fell from 24 per cent to 18 per cent, and he boasted of feeling 'fitter, stronger, more awake and motivated in my work'. Lib Dem deputy Commons leader Tom Brake was told to build his upper-body strength and after six weeks of training could swim the 750m of the sprint distance triathlon without reverting to breast stroke . As deputy leader of the Commons, Mr Brake's job involved a lot of sitting on the green leather benches listening to debates. The Lib Dem MP and keen marathon runner could have been forgiven for thinking he was fit. But after casting an eye over his 'before' physique, personal trainer Daniel Marshall declared: 'Tom neglected every muscle from the waist up.' The 52-year-old was told to build his upper-body strength and after six weeks of training could swim the 750m of the sprint distance triathlon without reverting to breast

Summary: Tory Dan Poulter, Lib Dem Tom Brake and Labour's Gavin Shuker get fit . Three agreed to put themselves at the mercy of a personal trainer . Strict diet and exercise regime saw them shed pounds and gain strength . Full interview appears in the May 2015 issue of Men’s Health, on sale Thursday 2 April. Also available as a digital edition.

The devastated fiance of the late 'wellness warrior' Jessica Ainscough has written an emotional letter to her followers, revealing she was undergoing radiation treatment in her final weeks and 'giggling and drinking green smoothies' in her hospital bed until the day she died. Ms Ainscough, 30, died in late February following a lengthy fight with a rare and aggressive form of cancer known as epithelioid sarcoma. She spurned chemotherapy and radiation, choosing to fight the cancer with a controversial treatment known as Gerson Therapy, which involves a vegan diet and coffee enemas and does not have scientific support. But after discussions with 'oncologists, healers and specialists around the world', in her final weeks - the most 'difficult' weeks of her fight - Ms Ainscough began a course of targeted radiation, her partner Tallon Pamenter has revealed. 'This was a risky and tough decision, but Jess bravely embraced this last chance option,' he said. Jessica Ainscough (left) was planning to marry her partner Tallon Pamenter this year. She died after a long fight with cancer in February . 'This year has stripped me from the one thing that brought magic to every other aspect of my life,' Mr Pamenter said . Tribute: Jessica Ainscough died in late February after a seven-year-long battle with cancer . 'In true wellness warrior style, we integrated our natural healing regime with the recommended radiation. 'Finally the walls were broken down between conventional and unconventional medicine - I don't know why as a society we must choose one or the other. 'This was something Jess was looking forward with sharing (with her followers). It was an exciting evolution from her earlier days of feeling that she had to be part of one extreme world or the other.'

One in five parents sedates their children before a long road trip, despite fears the medication can cause breathing problems. A national driving survey analysed the travel habits of 3700 Australian families which revealed four in five families use technology to deal with bored children, giving them a hand held computer game, like an iPad, while another 70 per cent said they give their kids treats to sweeten the ride. Almost 20 per cent of NSW families use a more extreme technique, admitting they have used sedatives like the antihistamine Phenergan to knock their kids out so their journey will be more pleasant. One in five NSW families have admitted to sedating their children before taking them on long car trips . The over the counter drug Phenergan is commonly used to treat allergies however it contains a sedative called promethazine which is widely known to cause breathing problems in young children. The medical community claim the sedative Phenergan should not be used on children younger than two years old as side effects like respiratory depression, more commonly known as hypoventilation, can be fatal. Warnings about the use of drugs like Phenergan on children have been around since 2006 when the US Food and Drug Administration found the medication was linked to 22 cases of respiratory depression in infants, seven of which were fatal. Westmead Children's Hospital head of general medicine Joanne Ging told Fairfax that Phenergan is far too unpredictable to use as a sedative on children. The medical community claim the sedative Phenergan should not be used on children younger than two years old as side effects like respiratory depression can be fatal. 'We would never recommend it for children on plane trips, car trips or wherever, because its side effects can trigger the exact opposite effect, including hallucinations. It's a medication that really should only ever be used for allergies.' Family therapist and child psychologist Michael Hawton condemned the trend labelling it 'extraordinary' and 'horrible'. 'The whole idea of heading off on a family holiday is to enjoy time together. There's a big difference between entertaining your children and medically straitjacketing them,' he said. 'The whole idea of heading off on a family holiday is to enjoy time together. There's a big difference between entertaining your children and medically straitjacketing them' Respiratory depression refers to a decrease in a person's ability to inhale a sufficient amount of oxygen and exhale enough carbon dioxide. Simply, the person will have difficulty in breathing. This can cause the person to appear out of breath and often lead to a tightness in the chest. The survey also revealed more than half of parents said they are 'sometimes distracted' by their kids who fight, kick the seat or intentionally interfere with the driver. Around 56 per cent of drivers admitted to turning the music up to drown the children out with a further 64 per cent of parents claiming they have threatened children that they will stop the car and leave the unruly kids behind.

Dubai is renowned as the playground of the rich and famous. It is a melting pot of decadence in the Middle East with year-round sunshine, some of the best hotels on the planet, and shopping opportunities to seriously damage the credit card. Despite the restrictions of local religious laws, the champagne-fuelled party life has come to somewhat define Dubai as a holiday destination. Dubai: It's still 'bling' but the natural habitat of the mega-wealthy has a developing cultural underside . Because of this, I have always regarded this UAE state as the natural habitat for the types of mega-wealthy who like to splash their cash; Premier League footballers, nightclub owners, rappers and reality TV stars - the Rooneys and the cast of The Only Way Is Essex will continue to flock to Dubai. So I was surprised to discover that Dubai has a rapidly developing cultural underside. In recent times, the place has attracted more unlikely visitors - A-listers including Emily Blunt, Cate Blanchett, Lily Allen, Karl Lagerfeld and Sarah Jessica Parker. Blunt was guest of honour at the recent Dubai International Film Festival, following in the footsteps of the Oscar-winning Ms Blanchett, who attended in 2013. Lily Allen was in town in November with The Verve's Richard Ashcroft to perform at Dubai's first-ever Party In The Park at the Media City Amphitheatre. And although Lily was ordered to censor her lyrics - 'They told me to cover up and not swear!' she announced on stage - punters said the relaxed atmosphere, cool crowd and outdoor, grassy setting made the festival feel like Dubai's answer to Glastonbury. Lily Allen performed at Dubai's first Party in the Park . There is now the annual Dubai International Jazz Festival. This year, Sting and James Blunt performed in February. And work is also under way to build Dubai's first opera house in The Lagoons area. The 2,500-seat venue is anticipated to be complete in 2017. Karl Lagerfeld showed his Chanel Cruise collection in Dubai, while Sarah Jessica Parker decamped from Manhattan to launch her shoe collection in The Mall of the Emirates in December. And with Western shopping meccas Bloomingdales and Harvey Nichols now established, and US emporium Macy's on the cards to open in the next few years, the retail scene also caters for more sophisticated customers. According to Cressida Meale, deputy editor of fashion magazine Grazia Middle East, there is even an underground fashion scene emerging in the city's industrial area, Al Quoz. 'It has pop-up fashion shops and cool Dubai designers,' says Meale. 'There really is another shopping side to Dubai, away from the malls.' There are also several trendy art galleries in this area. So why the sudden cultural shift? Two things seem to have happened in recent times. Firstly the party scene has relocated an hour down the road to Abu Dhabi, thanks in part to the launch of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and Ferrari World (the world's first theme park devoted to the Italian motors). Second, Dubai was also recently made host to the global Expo 2020, an

Summary: The retail scene is changing too with Macy's due to open soon . An opera house is being built in the Lagoons area . Several trendy art galleries have appeared .


Rarely can a headline in a matchday magazine have been so prophetic: on pages 16 and 17 of the United Review, next to a picture of Ander Herrera, screamed the words ‘Right place, right time’. That hasn’t always been the case during the Spaniard’s debut season at Old Trafford. Between October 20 and February 17, Herrera was barely sighted and started just three of the 21 games Manchester United played in that period, prompting much chatter about his place in the squad. It is no secret David Moyes wanted to bring Herrera to Old Trafford on deadline day in August 2013 but red tape scuppered his ambitions; United pressed ahead with transfer after Moyes was jettisoned but his inactivity prompted questions: Did Louis van Gaal want him or rate him? Ander Herrera, pictured with Juan Mata, netted a brace to ensure his side claimed the win against Aston Villa . Herrera has established himself in Louis van Gaal's first team plans after missing out in previous months . Antonio Valencia (right) congratulates two-goal hero Herrera (centre) after the final whistle . The settling in process was not easy but the 25-year-old’s head has never dropped and in the interview with the club publication, Herrera made it clear that a lack of action was never going to leave him at loggerheads with Van Gaal. ‘I am very happy, he said. ‘Even when I wasn’t playing, I was also happy. I am at Manchester United. I feel really lucky to be here. We have to respect his decision. He wants the best for us, the team and we have to follow him always.’ Herrera’s commitment was amply rewarded against Aston Villa. The brightest spark in a Red jersey, he was certainly in the right place at the right time in the 43rd minute, when sweeping a terrific effort past Brad Guzan to set United on their way. His passing was slick, his movement was clever and it was appropriate he bookended this victory with United’s third in injury time; it was fifth shot on target in the Barclays Premier League and, amazingly, his fifth goal. No wonder he left with acclaim from his manager ringing in his ears. ‘I knew Ander has a touch of class,’ said Van Gaal. ‘Sometimes he was not composed at the right moment but now he has composure. Scoring seven goals in a season when he hasn’t played so much? I think that’s fantastic.’

Summary: Ander Herrera fired Man United to victory with double against Aston Villa . The Spaniard put in a man-of-the-match display at Old Trafford . Herrera struggled for games between October and February . However he now appears to be an integral member of United's squad .


There is an image of Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola deep in conversation during a Barcelona training session that did the rounds on social media a few years ago. Mourinho was Bobby Robson’s assistant at Barcelona and Guardiola was in his final years as a player at the Camp Nou at the time. The picture became the perfect ‘guess the caption’ competition the best one having Guardiola say to Mourinho: ‘I’ll be Barça coach one day and I’ll win the treble’ and Mourinho replying: ‘yeah right, and I’ll manage Real Madrid.’ Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola in deep conversation following a Barcelona training session . No sooner had Luis Enrique joined Barcelona at the start of this season and the photo libraries threw up an even better shot – one of Luis Enrique, Pep and Jose in their time at Barcelona. Then the archive scanners began to notice something about some of the other faces in the pictures from this era – isn’t that current PSG coach Laurent Blanc? And isn’t that current Porto coach Julen Lopetegui? And aren’t four of the coaches of the last eight in this season’s Champions League from the same club at the same time? (From L-R) Barcelona's Juan Carlos Busquets, Luis Enrique, Mourinho and Guardiola at training . Laurent Blanc comes up against Enrique at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday in the Champions League . Blanc was a huge part of the Barcelona XI that won the Spanish Super Cup under Bobby Robson in 1996 . Luis Enrique comes face to with Blanc in the Parc des Princes stadium on Wednesday night and both will have plenty to catch up on. They were both in the Barça team that started the 1996-97 season by winning the Spanish Super Cup against Atletico Madrid 6-4 on aggregate. With Robson in charge and Mourinho’s assisting him the team that won the first silverware of the new season included not just the French World Cup winner and the 62-times Spain international and the aforementioned Lopetegui and Guardiola but Albert Ferrer, who started the season as Cordoba coach; Abelardo Fernandez, who is now coaching Sporting Gijon in Spain’s second tier; and Sergi Barjuan, who has just taken over at Almeria. The Barcelona XI that won the Spanish Super Cup under Bobby Robson in 1996 is breeding managers . Guardiola takes on former Barcelona team-mate Julen Lopetegui who is currently Porto manager . Albert Ferrer, seen battling Pedrag Mijatovic for the ball, went on to coach Spanish side Cordoba . Bobby Robson and Bulgarian defender Hristo Stoichkov celebrate victory against Real Betis . Also in the team were Hristo Stoichkov who has coached Celta Vigo and Bulgaria among others and Juan Antonio Pizzi, who managed Valencia last season and is now at Leon in Mexico. Even those players from that team who never went on to manage have stayed in football with Giovanni now working as a scout for Olympiakos and Guillermo Amor a former director of Barcelona’s youth academy who is now director of football at Adelaide United FC. Among

Children are being auditioned at school for Britain’s Got Talent to stop them bunking off lessons, it has been revealed. Teachers say that youngsters have been playing truant as they attempt to find instant stardom on the ITV talent show. As a result, for the first time producers have held auditions at dozens of secondary schools and colleges around the UK for the new series. Scroll down for video . Brace yourselves: Britain's Got Talent judges Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon strike glamorous poses . The move has helped reduce unauthorised absence levels in some schools on the days of auditions. Teacher Angela Butler said Britain’s Got Talent spent two hours at her school – Newtown High School, in Powys, mid-Wales – and a local sixth-form college in November. Around 30 Newtown High School pupils aged 11 to 18 sang and played instruments for producers during preliminary auditions after getting permission from their parents. Mrs Butler, a head of year, described similar on-site auditions across the region as a preventative measure to stop youngsters skipping school. Speaking at the NASUWT union’s annual conference in Cardiff, she attacked the shocking truancy levels in the city caused by auditions for talent shows. The Britain's Got Talent judges and presenters are seen on stage before the start of the 2015 series . The 52-year-old said the day for auditions was ‘the day throughout Wales when most kids are absent’. She added: ‘I think that is an absolute travesty, that kids think that is the way that they’re going to have a route out of poverty and not education.’ Simon Cowell has defended allowing young children to take part in Britain’s Got Talent, despite fears by child welfare campaigners that many of them are too young to cope with fame. The music mogul says the ITV show – which has no lower age limit – provides opportunities to those who might not otherwise have them. Cowell, 55, who has a 14-month-old son, Eric, with partner Lauren Silverman, said: ‘Every kid who comes on our show is there because the child wants to be on our show and we make sure we look after them. ‘As for whether it’s the right thing having someone so young singing on the show – they may not have the opportunities in life other people have.’ Speaking afterwards, Mrs Butler told how Britain’s Got Talent had changed how it auditions to stop pupils ‘coming down to Cardiff’ on school days. She said: ‘For a couple of years we had absences. It must have been a problem throughout Wales because this time, for the auditions that have happened for Britain’s Got Talent, they actually sent people into schools. ‘When the producers from the programme came to our school, they said they were going all around schools to prevent exactly this [truancy]. 'They spent two hours in our school and they must have seen 30 kids, perhaps more than that. Then they moved onto a sixth form college in the same town.’ But she also bemoaned how children now seem to think fame

Summary: ITV's Britain's Got Talent is returning on Saturday for its ninth series . Teacher's say kids have bunked off school in the past to attend auditions . So for first time ever producers are holding auditions at dozens of schools . Move has helped reduce unauthorised absence levels in several schools .

A Utah man is thankful he is alive after he claims a Delta Airlines plane flew over his home when a large chunk of ice dropped from the aircraft shattering his car's windshield. Todd Larson, 55, told Daily Mail Online he had parked his collectible Dodge Challenger worth $30,000 in the driveway of his Taylorsville home on March 25 when moments later an ice chunk crashed onto his car at 1.53am. 'It hit so hard that four or five neighbors' car alarms went off,' he told Daily Mail Online. 'It missed going through my roof by only inches and if I had stayed in the car and answered by son’s message about picking him up, that piece of ice would have gone right through my chest.' Todd Larson said a chunk of ice fell from a plan smashing through the windshield of his Dodge Challenger parked at his Taylorsville, Utah home (above his damaged Dodge Challenger) He said the FAA did an investigation and found an A1 aircraft that matched within two minutes of the time the incident happened and when the plane was flying above his home . Mr Larson said two minutes later at 1.55am he called police to file the report of the ice chunk falling through his car's windshield, which he believes came from a Delta Airlines A1 aircraft. He earlier told Fox 13 there were four Delta Air Line flights in the area when the incident occurred, according to a representative for the Federal Aviation Administration. On Friday afternoon, Mr Larson told Daily Mail Online that the FAA did an investigation and learned that on March 26 an aircraft within two minutes of the time of incident was in the area above his home. 'The investigator cannot give me the flight number but the time it happened matched within two minutes that the plane was overhead,' he said. 'What caught my attention was that as he turned the plane and put his spoiler down, you could hear the engine change, and I looked up and saw that it was a Delta plane. 'Then I heard a huge crash which sounded like a major car accident.' Mr Larson said the hole in his windshield is about 12.5 inches in length and that the size of the piece of ice that went through was the size of a cinder block. 'The pieces that broke up were the size of a grapefruit and the smaller ones were the size of golf balls,' he told Daily Mail Online. Mr Larson has already paid the $4,000 in repairs which included $400 for the windshield and additional costs for replacing his Bluetooth, emergency phone and electric power seat with a heater that were all damaged in the incident. 'When you’re retired and you have to take that big chunk of money out it makes a big difference in what you can do,' he said. 'You try and stay on a budget and you find a car that you really wanted and it’s damaged in this way. 'My insurance says yes they’ll fix it,
