Robbie Knievel has been arrested for allegedly driving under the influence in Butte, Montana - the town his daredevil father Evel Knievel helped make famous. Knievel, 52, was speeding in an SUV on Tuesday evening when he rear-ended a Honda, causing a chain-reaction crash involving two other vehicles, police said. No one was injured. After the crash, Knievel drove off but his car was found nearby and he was seen walking about a block away, according to Butte-Silver Bow Undersheriff George Skuletich. In court: Robbie Knievel, pictured in court on Wednesday, was arrested for DUI in Montana after crashing into another car on Tuesday evening and setting off a chain-reaction crash involving two other cars . Officers noticed that he had a bloody lip and smelled of alcohol, but he refused to perform a breath test and so officers got a search warrant to take a blood sample, the Montana Standard reported. Knievel was booked into jail. On Wednesday, he made his initial appearance in Justice Court. He has been in the area, where he has family, for a couple of weeks, authorities said. Skuletich says Knievel invoked his rights to an attorney but didn't give officers a name. The son of the famous daredevil Evel Knievel has previously admitted to being an alcoholic and pleaded guilty to DUI in South Dakota in August 2013. Like father like son: Robbie is pictured jumping 21 Hummers at Texas Motor Speedway in June 2008 . Icon: American daredevil and entertainer Evel Knievel poses for a portrait before a stunt in 1976 . In that incident, he drove his vehicle into two motor homes as he left a campground and a blood-alcohol test suggested he was nearly three times the legal limit. He received a suspended jail sentence and paid nearly $600 in fines. His driver's license was also suspended for 30 days. Following the arrest, he spoke with 'TMZ Live' and admitted that he had an alcohol problem. 'I'm a frickin' drinking, driving daredevil,' he told the show. 'I ride motorcycles and I friggn' drink and ride … that's my deal.' They also asked him how he would feel if he hurt someone while he was behind the wheel. 'I shouldn't be drinking and driving 'cause I could kill somebody,' he said. 'And you know what, it would be better if I killed myself.' Together: The two Knievels are pictured together in 2006 - the year before Evel passed away, aged 69 . Knievel appeared in his father's stunts as a child and has continued working as a daredevil in his own right, while his older brother, Kelly, overseas the Knievel brand. Among his most famous stunts, Robbie Knievel, a father-of-two, jumped over the Grand Canyon in May 1999 - succeeding where his father had failed years earlier. To complete the jump, which was televised by Fox, he soared 228 feet (69 meters) across a narrow part of the canyon on his a 500 cc motorcycle. Evel Knievel, who famously jumped lines of cars and buses, and attempted to hurdle sharks, canyons and anything

Former Redgum frontman John Schumann has slammed anti-Islam protesters for using his song, I Was Only 19, at one of Saturday's Reclaim Australia rallies. The songwriter, who penned the 1983 anthem, said the song - like many of his others - was about compassion, tolerance and inclusiveness. But it has emerged the hit was played at one of the rallies, which aimed to oppose 'sharia law, halal tax and Islamisation'. Scroll down for video . Former Redgum frontman John Schumann (pictured front centre) has slammed protesters for using his song, I Was Only 19 at a Reclaim Australia rally . A YouTube video shows I Was Only 19 being performed at Reclaim Australia's Gold Coast protest. Saturday's rallies across the nation erupted into violence when the group's supporters clashed with anti-racism groups. After footage of Schumann's song being played surfaced, the singer released a statement on Sunday to condemn its use. He said I Was Only 19 was written to help people understand the plight of Vietnam veterans. Saturday's Reclaim Australia rallies across the nation erupted into violence when the group's supporters clashed with anti-racism groups . Schumann said his songs were about promoting tolerance, compassion and inclusiveness . 'I am very, very disappointed to see my work co-opted by what I, at my most charitable, consider to be a very confused "patriotic" movement,' Schumann said. The song honours all Australians who have put themselves in harm's way for their country, he said. 'It is not to be used to advance ignorance and intolerance, especially as we approach the centenary of Anzac,' Schumann said. There were several arrests at the rallies, including three in Melbourne where more than 3,000 people clashed in Federation Square and blocked surrounding streets.

Hundreds of police formed barricades to separate protesters but scuffles still broke out and some people were treated by paramedics for minor injuries. Earlier on Sunday, federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said there was no excuse for the violence. 'There's no place for violence in any protests or any expressions of freedom of speech,' Mr Shorten told the Nine Network. He also said any suggestion that Muslims were planning to bring Sharia law to Australia was exaggerated. 'It was 50-60 years ago people said that the Irish Catholics or the Catholics were trying to take over the joint - and that wasn't true either,' Mr Shorten said.

Sorry: Journalist Sabrina Rubin Erdely (pictured) is expected to apologize for an article she wrote for Rolling Stone magazine about campus rape . The journalist who wrote Rolling Stone's flawed account of a campus rape is set to apologize Sunday night, when the Columbia Journalism School publishes a review of what went wrong with her reporting. Sabrina Rubin Erdely has been silent since December, when the magazine was forced to issue an apology in the wake of several factual errors highlighted in the piece about a University of Virginia student named Jackie. In the story, titled 'A Rape on Campus', Jackie claims to have been gang raped by seven men at campus fraternity Phi Kappa Psi two years ago. But a recent investigation by the Charlottesville Police found no evidence to support her story- including the fact that the man who brought her to the fraternity the night of the alleged incident doesn't seem to exist. The Columbia Graduate School of Journalism will release their review of the botched Rolling Stone investigation at 8pm on Sunday. Following that, sources tell CNN that Erdely will release an apologetic statement and Rolling Stone will take the story down from their website. While the article initially sparked protests on campus, Erdely's reporting quickly began to fall apart as the Washington Post and local outlets started following up on the allegations. One mistake of Erdely's previously highlighted, was the fact she agreed not to contact Jackie's alleged attackers. Scroll down for video .

Above, the frat house on January 15, 2015 . Anonymous: Jackie has never been identified. Police officials say she refused to be interviewed in the course of their investigation . Three of Jackie's friends also denied Erdely's assertion that they discouraged the alleged victim from reporting the assault. By December 5, Rolling Stone acknowledged that there appeared 'to be discrepancies in Jackie's account.' The magazine asked for the independent review, which was conducted by the dean of the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. The fraternity has called the article defamatory and said it was exploring its legal options. 'These false accusations have been extremely damaging to our entire organization, but we can only begin to imagine the setback this must have dealt to survivors of sexual assault,' said Stephen Scipione, president of the Virginia Alpha Chapter of Phi Kappa Psi, after the Charlottesville police suspended their investigation. Despite its flaws, the article heightened scrutiny of campus sexual assaults amid a campaign by President Barack Obama. The University of Virginia had already been on the Department of Education's list of 55 colleges under investigation for their handling of sex assault violations. The article also prompted UVA President Teresa Sullivan to temporarily suspend Greek social events. Fraternities later agreed to ban kegs,

State Education Minister Adrian Piccoli has called the Scot's College university shortcut 'unfair,' after it was released that school students could buy their way into university without completing their HSC. Tuition, sporting and curricula fees for Scot's College, one of Sydney's most prestigious schools, reportedly top $30,000 . The University of Sydney have been running a 17-week diploma for Year 11 students at Scot's College to skip their year 12 exams and 'buy' their entry into the sandstone university. 'Access to university should be fair and equitable,' Mr Piccoli told Fairfax Media. 'Any scheme that gives some students an unfair advantage is unacceptable and I will be discussing this with the federal government, which is responsible for universities.' Eight Scot's students gained 'direct entry' to the university after completing the program in 2014, according to a letter sent to parents by principal Dr Ian Lambert, while 166 students completed the HSC. The program was devised by the university's commercial arm, Sydney Learning, and students who completed the course successfully were guaranteed places in a number of undergraduate level courses, including bachelor degrees in health sciences, liberal arts and science, animal and veterinary bioscience, visual arts, music and oral health, or in a diploma of law. Opposition leader Luke Foley is concerned over how this alternative would impact the HSC. 'We have a federal Coalition government intent on linking university admission to wealth, more and more, and these are the sorts of arrangements that flow from the Abbott government's reform of our higher education sector,' he said. The Sydney Morning Herald have reported that concern within the University of Sydney staff has led to its academic board shutting down this alternative pathway for school students. Sandstone halls: The University of Sydney's commercial arm, Sydney Learning, has run the pilot program with Scot's College. Pictured above is the university's clocktower and the eastern range of its main building precinct . However, at the time it was shutdown, the board was unaware that Scot's College were planning the pilot with another 11 boys this year. My Foley is worried that this pathway will be picked up by other universities and elite high schools. Scot's College does not advertise their fees for tuition, sport and other curriculum activities, but in 2013 they were reported to be $30,900 per year with an extra $24,121 for boarders. Scot's College: Dr Lambert, the college's chief, was quoted telling the Sydney Morning Herald that the diploma was designed with students 'in the middle rank of learners' in mind . Rose Steele, the president of the National Union of Students, told Daily Mail Australia that while it was important there were alternative pathways available for students to gain entry to university, it was 'really concerning' if this program was only open to students who could afford it. 'NUS really believes education should be open to all and not just those who can afford it,' Ms Steele said. Daily Mail Australia approached the University of Sydney and Scot's College for comment on Monday morning. Principal Ian Lambert has rejected the notion that

Successful completion of the 17-week guarantees Scot's College students a place in a number of undergraduate courses, including law .

One Wall Street trader closed out his week a few million dollars richer last Friday - and it was all thanks to social media. The unnamed trader used perfect timing to capitalize on one of the biggest deals of the year when Wall Street Journal mergers and acquisitions reporter Dana Mattioli took to Twitter to announce that Intel was in talks to buy one of its competitors, chipmaker Altera. Seconds later, the trader had snapped up 3,158 contracts of Altera, with each option contract giving them the right to purchase 100 shares. Scroll down for video . An unnamed Wall Street trader made a profit of approximately $2.5million on Friday thanks to a tweet from the Wall Street Journal . The trader purchased 315,800 shares of chipmaker Altera one minute after the Journal reported Intel was in talks to purchase them . CNBC reports that the trader paid $36 a share, and the call option was a mere 35 cents as options on the stock, at that point valued at $34.76 a share, were set to expire in just a few weeks. 3:32pm: The Wall Street Journal reports that Intel is in talks to buy Altera. 3:33pm: Trader purchases 315,800 shares of Altera at $36 a share for a total cost of $11,368,000 plus $110,530 for a $0.35 call option. 3:35pm: Nasdaq suspends trading of Altera in the wake of the Journal's tweet. 4:00pm: Trader sells Altera at the new share price of $44.39 for a total of $14,018,362. This, after factoring in the intital share price and call option, leaves them with a profit of approximately $2,539.832. This call option allowed the trader the right to purchase more shares in the company, in this case 315,800 shares, at the cost of $36, even though the value of shares quickly began to rise. Just 28 minutes later, when the market closed for the day, Altera was valued at $44.39 per share. That was an increase of 28%, but because of the call option, the trader was able to sell their stocks at a far greater profit. So instead of making a 28% profit, the trader made a 2,220% profit of roughly $2.5million when they sold their shares. Even more impressive is that the trader managed to make the purchase just minutes before Nasdaq suspended trading of Altera because of the tweet from Mattioli. What's more, call options for Altera had at that point reached a price of $8.10 by the end of the day. There is also a chance, reports Matt Khouw, that the trader could have been aware of Intel's plan to buy Altera early, or that they used a bot to quickly buy the shares. 'A bot is not as outlandish as it sounds,' Khouw said. 'Traders need to aggregate and filter through tremendous amounts of data quickly and will rely on technology to help if it is available.' As for Intel's reported purchase of Altera, that still has yet to happen. Meanwhile, Intel share prices fell earlier this week in response to the news that they might purchase Altera.

Liverpool defender Kolo Toure insists a 'sad' Steven Gerrard will deal with the reality of being denied a fairytale FA Cup final farewell. The former Ivory Coast international said the team was probably more disappointed at not being able to deliver a trophy for fans, who this season had seen their side fail to progress out of the Champions League group stage and lose to Chelsea in the last four of the Capital One Cup. A 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa at Wembley ended the club's last hope of silverware and meant Gerrard would not be given a perfect send off ahead of his summer move to Los Angeles Galaxy with a cup final appearance on his 35th birthday on what would have been his very last for his boyhood club. Kolo Toure (left) admitted Steven Gerrard was 'sad' after the loss but he also felt sorry for Liverpool's fans . 'You feel bad. It is always difficult when you lose a semi-final like that,' Toure told Press Association Sport. 'The defeat is the thing. Of course we wanted to do very well for the last game of Stevie for the club but at the end of the day, we wanted to do it for the fans because this club deserves to have a trophy. 'He (Gerrard) is fine. Of course he is sad, like all the dressing room, but he has been in this game for a long time and he knows how to deal with these situations.' Gerrard was able to start the match after an injury to Lucas Leiva in training, which denied Liverpool some much-needed control in midfield. The former England captain looks dejected after the final whistle and his hopes of a final trophy ended . However, Toure insisted they should have had the ability to cope without their only genuine defensive midfielder. 'Lucas is a great player but we had players who could do the job,' he added. 'Collectively we were not very good. Villa really fought and gave everything to win the game.' As a result, Brendan Rodgers became the first Liverpool manager since the 1950s not to win a trophy in his first three years. Gerrard didn't get his fairytale ending at Wembley as he leaves the club at the end of the season for LA Galaxy . With the club's Champions League qualification hopes looking increasingly distant after Manchester City's win over West Ham on Sunday increased the gap to fourth place to seven points - although Liverpool now have a match in hand - the Reds boss will find his record coming under more scrutiny over the final six games of the season. The Northern Irishman insists he and his players will not give up while there is still a mathematical possibility. 'There's an obligation here to fight to the very end,' he said. 'We have to fight in every single game now. Of course there will be disappointment over the next couple of days but we're going to have to get ready.' Brendan Rodgers became the first manager since the 1950s

The majority of Americans identify as 'middle class'. But what does it actually mean? Crunching the numbers, a new study by Pew Charitable Trusts has revealed the exact salary you need to qualify in each state. Maryland's middle class is the highest paid in the country, with an average income of $72,483. Alaska is second with $72,237, followed by New Jersey with $70,165. The top five is completed by Hawaii and the District of Columbia, where middle class citizens are paid an average higher than $67,500. With an average income of $37,963, Mississippi's middle class is the lowest paid in the country. It is followed by Arkansas with $40,511, West Virginia with $41,253, Alabama with $42,849, and Kentucky with $43,399. New York - home to the financial capital of the United States, New York City - falls 17th in the table. The lowest paid middle class citizen in New York earns $38,246 and the highest paid takes an annual salary of $114,738. The average is $57,369. In California, 11th on the table, the average middle class income is $60,190, with a lower limit of $40,127 and an upper limit of $120,380. According to the study, published on March 19, America's middle class has shrunk significantly in the wake of the financial crisis. This colored map of the country displays the shrinking middle class across the U.S. However, whether you earn $20,000 or $250,000, you are still more likely to classify yourself as 'middle class'. Technically, Pew's researchers explain, middle class households earn between 67 and 200 per cent of the state's average income. The national average income is $52,250.

Summary: Most Americans identify as 'middle class' whether they earn $20k or $250k . New study calculates how much middle class citizens earn in each state . Highest paid middle class is in Maryland, Alaska, New Jersey, Hawaii, DC . Lowest paid is in Mississippi, Arkansas, West Virginia, Alabama, Kentucky .


If your partner snores heavily in bed, you might be tempted to give them a poke in the ribs and go back to sleep. But that irritating nocturnal drone might actually be an early warning sign of dementia, scientists have warned. Researchers have discovered that people who have breathing problems while asleep are more likely to experience an early decline in memory and other brain functions. In a worrying study, they found that people with sleep apnoea - a condition often typified by heavy snoring - saw a mental decline more than a decade earlier, on average, than those who had no sleep problems. People who have breathing problems while asleep are more likely to experience an early decline in memory and other brain functions . The US researchers’ results also suggested that the onset of Alzheimer’s might be accelerated among those with sleeping problems. At least half a million Britons suffer from sleep apnoea, which is most often found in middle-aged, overweight men. The condition causes the muscles in the airway to contract during sleep, which cuts off the air supply, usually resulting in a heavy snore. It causes disrupted sleep and daytime exhaustion, pushing up blood pressure. Study author Dr Ricardo Osorio, of New York University, said: ‘Abnormal breathing patterns during sleep such as heavy snoring and sleep apnoea are common in the elderly.’ The research team studied the medical histories of 2,470 people, aged 55 to 90. Their investigation, published in the journal Neurology, found that people with sleep breathing problems were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment at an average age of 77. Those with no breathing problems, in comparison, did not typically see a decline until age 90 - more than a decade later. Among that group, those who had sleep breathing problems also developed Alzheimer’s disease five years earlier than those who did not have sleep breathing problems, at an average age of 83 compared to 88. The onset of Alzheimer’s might be accelerated among those with sleeping problem, experts said (file photo) The scientists also found that treating the problem with a night time air mask - known as continuous positive airway pressure or CPAP - saw significant results. People treated with the machine, which pumps a steady stream of air through the mask, were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment about ten years later than people whose problems were not treated, at age 82 instead of age 72. Dr Osorio said: ‘The age of onset of mild cognitive impairment for people whose breathing problems were treated was almost identical to that of people who did not have any breathing problems at all. ‘Given that so many older adults have sleep breathing problems, these results are exciting - we need to examine whether using CPAP could possibly help prevent or delay memory and thinking problems.’ For years we have been told that the first step to staying healthy is to keep to a healthy weight - that means making sure your Body Mass Index (BMI) is within the normal range of 18 to 24. Few people are

Summary: People who snore are more likely to experience an early decline in memory . Those with sleep apnoea saw a mental decline more than a decade earlier . Sleep apnoea is where the throat narrows in sleep, interrupting breathing . Onset of Alzheimer's might be accelerated for people with sleep problems .


Leeds Rhinos have sent full back Zak Hardaker on an anger management course after a student was left with two black eyes and bruising during a violent incident in February. Hardaker was at the centre of a police assault probe into an attack on a 22-year-old man at student flats in Leeds, but was not charged with any offence. Leeds issued a lengthy statement outlining Hardaker's punishment, which will also see him forfeit one month's salary to be donated to a local charity and do up to 20 hours a week of voluntary work for the club's foundation for the duration of his contract. Hardaker and team-mate Elliot Minchella both paid £200 in compensation and wrote a letter of apology to a 22-year-old man following a police investigation but Leeds said Hardaker's punishment is far stronger 'given his previous misconduct'. Leeds Rhinos have sent full back Zak Hardaker (centre with the ball) on an anger management course . The one-cap England international received a five-match ban and a fine for a homophobic comment made last year and was also fined by England for breaching team discipline during the 2013 World Cup. The statement from Leeds read: 'The club has accepted his apology for his actions, however, given his previous misconduct, Zak has realised that it is his actions rather than his words that must now show his intentions to put these events behind him.' It went on: 'We have passed the point of telling him what he has to do, however, for the first time Zak has admitted to us and, more importantly to himself, that he has an issue with aspects of his lifestyle which he wants to improve. 'We have listened to what he has committed to do for himself and we will support him.' Minchella received a written warning and a fine of 50 per cent of his monthly salary, while team-mates Rob Mulhern, Josh Walters and Ash Handley were fined and issued verbal warnings.

Security researchers have discovered a way to intercept a person's fingerprints on a Samsung Galaxy S5 running Android 4.4 and older . Fingerprint scanners are often touted as the future of security and an alternative to the notoriously flawed password. But experts have discovered they may not be as secure as first thought after a number of Android devices, including Samsung's Galaxy S5, were said to be potentially 'leaking' fingerprints. The security researchers have found a way to intercept a person's biometric data after it is captured by a built-in scanner, but before it becomes encrypted. Tao Wei and Yulong Zhang from security firm FireEye are expected to discuss their findings at this week's RSA conference in San Francisco. The pair told Thomas Fox-Brewster from Forbes that the flaw lies in older versions of the Android operating system, up to and including Android 4.4. Subsequently, anyone running Android 5.0 or above are not at risk and the security experts are advising people on older models to update as soon as possible. The vulnerability means that a hacker can access the kernel, or core, of the Android operating system. Once inside they can monitor all data sent to and from the phone, as well as data recorded by the handset's built-in sensors, including the fingerprint scanner. Typically, when a fingerprint is scanned it is encrypted and separated from the rest of the device in a secure folder. Hackers can't get access to this folder even with access to the kernel, but they can collect scans immediately from the fingerprint sensor before they reach this folder. In addition to using these fingerprints to access the phone, for example, they can be used to make payments with PayPal. Scroll down for video . The flaw means that once a hacker has access they can monitor data recorded by built-in sensors, including the fingerprint scanner. When a fingerprint is scanned it is encrypted. Hackers typically can't access this encrypted file, but the flaw allows them to collect scans from the sensor before being encrypted . During tests, Mr Wei and Mr Zhang confirmed the flaw was present on Samsung Galaxy S5. They have not yet tested it on other Android smartphones with built-in fingerprint scanners, including the Galaxy Note 4, Note Edge and Huawei Ascend Mate 7. However, they believe the problem to be 'more widespread' than the Galaxy S5 and are planning to put this to the test. FireEye's research isn't the first time the Samsung Galaxy S5's scanner has been exposed as vulnerable. In April last year a group of German hackers managed to spoof the scanner using a dummy print. Apple's TouchID isn't without flaws either. It took hackers just two days and a small collection of everyday household items to bypass the fingerprint sensor on an Apple iPhone 5S following its launch in 2013. Chaos Computer Club, based in Berlin, took a high-resolution photograph of a fingerprint from the side of a glass. They then scanned it, before laser printing it onto a transparent sheet and covering it in woodglue. Once the

Summary: Experts have discovered a flaw in older versions of the Android system . Once a hacker has access to a phone they can monitor data from sensors . From this, they can potentially intercept a fingerprint from the scanner . Vulnerability has been tested and confirmed on the Samsung Galaxy S5 .


Defender Winston Reid would not have signed another long-term contract with West Ham if he did not think the east London club was going places. New Zealand international Reid ended speculation about his future when he penned a six-and-a-half year deal with the Irons last month. The 26-year-old, signed from Danish side Midtjylland in August 2010, had been linked with the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham. Winston Reid signed six-and-a-half-year deal with West Ham last month . Reid battles with Marko Arnautovic during West Ham's clash with Stoke City last month . However, Reid believes he can fulfil all of his ambitions at West Ham, who are set to move to the Olympic Stadium in 2016/2017. 'I think this club will eventually be a very big one, but it's going to take time and probably not over the next couple of years,' he said. 'It is going to take a lot of hard work by everybody, but I wouldn't have signed a new contract if I didn't think we could achieve something to get into the top tier of English football. 'We just have to work hard at it and make sure the results get better.' West Ham United players Diafra Sakho, Winston Reid and Mark Noble poses for photographers outside the Olympic Stadium the club are set to move in to in 2016-17 . Reid added: 'One of the reasons (I signed) was that I could see myself as an important part of the squad for the next six years of my career. 'My family are happy here; I have a good relationship with the people at the club and most importantly I wanted to give something back to a club that took a chance on me. 'I took all those factors into consideration and footballing-wise I really do believe we can achieve something. 'I am not saying we are going to win the league, that's probably not realistic, but to win something and get into that upper tier would be an achievement.'

These extraordinary pictures show more than 1,700 Chinese students taking an exam in their high school's playground - because they could not all fit inside. The freshmen students from Yichuan, Shaanxi province took the exam on Saturday in the first attempt by the school to allow pupils to sit exams in the open. The school said the reason behind the unusual move was the lack of sufficient indoor space - and added that it could be a test of the students' organizing capacity, the People's Daily Online reported. The paper reported that the Grade One students at Yichuan Senior High School suggested and organised the outdoor exam themselves. The students thought of everything and in order to avoid being dazzled by the sunshine, which may have caused them to feel dizzy, a regular radio announcement ordered pupils to turn their chairs and desks collectively from time to time. The newspaper reported that many of the students believe sitting the exam outside is a novel way to broaden their horizons and encourage them to feel more relaxed. Some of the students also suggested it could help to prevent cheating. 'Grade One students suggested they organise the exam in such a way,' said one unnamed teacher. 'We felt it was a great idea, the weather also allowed it, so we approved the proposal.'

Parents who choose not to vaccinate their children due to their personal beliefs may soon be fully blocked from accessing welfare payments and childcare subsidies. Social Services Minister Scott Morrison confirms that the government is actively researching possible legislation changes, as conscientious objectors are currently able to use a loophole to access family tax benefits. The hard-line approach to immunisation comes one month after the tragic death of 32-day -old Perth baby Riley Hughes who died after contracting whooping cough. A subsequent galaxy poll found that 87 per cent of Australians believe vaccinations should be mandatory. 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 . Parents who refuse to vaccinate their children must give up their childcare payments from the government unless care is quarantined to the home, according to the Productivity Commission's report into childcare . The national immunisation program current outlines that parents must vaccinate their children to be eligible for family payments and childcare rebates. However, people who choose not to vaccinate their children for philosophical, personal or religious beliefs are able to apply for an exemption – meaning they can still access the payments without immunising their children. They can seek exemptions if a doctor signs a form showing they understand the risks to their child if they don't get vaccinated. A form must also be filled out, declaring the individual does not vaccinate their baby due to “personal, philosophical, religious or medical beliefs involving a conviction that vaccination should not take place”, they are still able to access the benefits. Mr Morrison believes there is essentially no excuse to excuse a parent when they decide not to vaccinate their child, especially as the decision could be potentially fatal for other children. While parents are required to vaccinate their children to receive benefits, they can seek exemptions if a doctor signs a form showing they understand the risks to their child if they don't get vaccinated . “We believe that, unless you’re someone with a really deep held religious view there should be no exceptions and you should be getting your children immunised,” the Opposition leader told Nine’s Weekend Today. “The idea that your child’s going to a childcare centre and that some other parent doesn’t feel they like the science of immunisation, and therefore they come along and your child or anyone else’s child could catch something because some other parent has an opinion, that isn’t really good enough is it,” he said. It’s hoped a change to the governments benefit packages will motivate anti-vaccinators to immunise their children. “The Government is reviewing the current exemptions on vaccinations that apply to family tax benefit payments and child care subsidies as part of the families package to be delivered this year,” Mr Morrison told News Corp. The Productivity Commission's report now recommends rebates 'be conditional on the child being fully immunised, unless care occurs in the child's home' In February, the Productivity

Summary: Abbott Government are actively trying to stop parents who don't immunise their children from accessing rebates . Only parents who immunise their children are eligible to access welfare payments and childcare subsidies . However a loophole currently allows parents who do not vaccinate their children from accessing the funds . Conscientious objectors are people who oppose vaccinations for personal or philosophical reasons despite knowing the risks . Scott Morrison confirms the government wants to take a more hard-line approach in the interest of the health and safety of Australian children .


They are the images that capture the faces and dramatic landscapes one photographer encountered during a 1000-day journey around the world. Award-winning photographer Uruma Takezawa has made a living discovering and documenting communities in the most remote areas around the globe. For his latest book, the Japanese adventurer spent 1,021 days on the road, to capture amazing images on an odyssey that took him to 103 countries on four continents. During his several year-long journey, Takezawa found inspiration in those who live off the land in harmony with the natural world and the results are a spectacular set of dramatic images, which currenlty form part of an exhibition at New York's Foto-Care Gallery. Japanese photographer Uruma Takezawa snaps a boy wears traditional tribal make up in the The Lower Omo River Valley, Ethiopia . Born in 1977, the Japanese artist first began his career as a marine photographer, travelling the world to capture breathtaking underwater vistas. From there, he discovered a passion for photographing the unknown, travelling alone by bus, train, on foot and horseback to reach his far-flung destinations. 'The ocean and its seascapes had become so familiar for me,' he wrote. 'I desired to see the different faces of the world. I decided to come ashore and make a long trip in order to see the world with my own eyes.' Cowboys drive herds of cattle over a vast meadow in Pantanal in Brazil, where Takezawa spent one week observing their ways . The winner of the third Nikkei National Geographic Photo Prize, Takezawa has made a living documenting remote communities .

The Wodaabe Tribe are a nomadic people of cattle-herders and traders populating the Sahel desert of West Africa, in particular Niger . A woman carries a child in a sling while going about her daily errands in Senessa in the landlocked west African country of Mali . In (nearly) 1,000 days, Takezawa travelled to the most far-flung stretches of the world, enduring many tough terrains to find his subjects . Armed with just a small backpack and his camera equipment, Takezawa endured many tough terrains to photograph his subjects, who are as cut off from the modern world as is possible in this day and age. His enlightening body of work is described as a celebration of the connection that exists between people and the land. From Brazil to Uganda, Takezawa attempts to capture the dignity and resilience of his subjects and the power of the human spirit of those who live off the land. Takezawa writes: 'It's a wide world - far wider than we think, and much deeper. That is the most important thing I learned from my long journey. 'It is my hope that the 'Land' photos will enable viewers to sense the width of the world and the depth of people's hearts.' What an incredible

Kaitlyn Granado, 24, was arrested on Monday amid claims she had sex with pupil, 15, in her car on consecutive nights in January . A Texas math teacher has been accused of having sex with an underage pupil from a Texas high school a month after she was arrested for letting another teenage touch her breasts. Kaitlyn Granado, 24, a teacher at MacArthur High School in Irving, was first arrested on March 19 for having an inappropriate relationship with a 15-year-old student, and was released on bail. Now she has been arrested again after another pupil, also aged 15, also accused Granado of having sex with him on two consecutive nights in January this year. According to the affidavit, seen by the Star-Telegram, the teen claims the sexual relationship took place in her car late at night on January 18 and 19 across the road from another school in Dallas. The abuse came to light after a school police officer learned of a possible relationship between Granado and one of the boys last month. She was arrested on March 19, and in a police interview she admitted kissing the pupil and allowing him to touch her breasts in April the previous year, according to the Dallas Morning News. She was subsequently suspended from teaching and put on administrative leave by school officials. At the time, detectives said they didn't think she had been in a relationship with any other pupils, but just days later, on March 24, officers quizzed a second boy about a possible relationship with her. A spokesman for the police department said: 'There was some discussion, some rumoring, there may have been a second person involved. 'That information came from within the school, and it turned out to be true.' Granado, who is a maths teacher at MacArthur High School in Irving, Texas (pictured), was also arrested last month when she admitted kissing another boy, also 15, and lettin him touch her breasts . Granado was booked into Irving County Jail for the second time on Monday, and released after posting a $50,000 bail. It is not known how Granado intends to plead to the second set of charges against her. A spokesman for Irving school district said: 'While privacy laws prevent us from sharing specific details, we can reassure our families that we took immediate and appropriate action. 'Being on administrative leave prevents her from working with students and being present on any Irving ISD property.'

Nearly one out of six NFL players will declare bankruptcy within 12 years of retiring from the league, a shocking new study has revealed. The rate of bankruptcy, 15.7percent - remained the same no matter how long the players were in the league or how well they were paid, according to researchers from the California Institute of Technology, George Washington University and the University of Washington. Despite earning millions of dollars - sometimes tens of millions - former players go broke at about 1.1percent per year, the same rate as the rest of Americans. Bleak future: Despite NFL players earning millions - sometimes times of millions - over the course of their careers, nearly 16percent of players are bankrupt within 12 years . Vince Young earned a reported $64million in salary and endorsement deals - but was bankrupt before he even finished his NFL career. Widely reported rumors say he spent $5,000 a week at Cheesecake factory . Though bleak, the 15.7percent figure found by the researchers, is dramatically lower than a widely quoted statistic that 78percent of retired players are bankrupt or under 'financial stress' within two years of leaving the league. The figure comes from a 2009 survey by Sports Illustrated. Often, when athletes go broke, it's because of unimaginable extravagances, bad investments and massive child support payments. This, despite the fact that the average player makes $3.2million over the course of a career. Defensive tackle Warren Sapp played 13 seasons in the NFL and made more than $82million. He retired in 2007 and filed for bankruptcy in 2012 - citing several failed business ventures. Bankruptcy remained at similar rates even among players who had long, profitable careers in the sport - though it was highest for those who stayed in the league for five years - and lower for those who were in it for more than a decade . Michael Vick, who made more than $130million, is still playing has he attempts to pay off his $18million bankruptcy debt from 2008 . When his estate was sold at auction, he had a lionskin rug and 240 pairs of sneakers. He also owed more than $75,000 a month in child support for his six children (with five different women,) Quarterback Vince Young's played his last NFL game in December 2011. He filed for bankruptcy in January 2014 - despite earning $34million in salary and another $30million in endorsement deals. Widely reported rumors that emerged after he first began having financial trouble in 2012 claim that he spent up to $5,000 a week at Cheesecake Factory and racked up a $6,000 tab at TGI Friday's. Young also blamed investment advisers who he claimed took advantage of him. Quarterback Michael Vick filed for bankruptcy in 2008 - in the middle of his high-profile career and legal troubles that sent him to prison. He was still paying off his $18million in debts in 2014 - despite making $130million from the NFL and millions more from endorsement deals. 'We've known that it can be very difficult for the average family to save,' Cal

Summary: High-profile bankruptcies include Warren Sapp, Vince Young and Michael Vick - all of whom earned tens of millions of dollars . 15.7percent of players go bankrupt within 12 years of leaving the league, researchers from Cal-Tech, Washington and George Washington found . Average player earns $3.2million over the course of a career . Bankruptcy rates are the same of the rest of Americans .

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been convicted of leaving a property to rot after he was fined for the condition of a house he rented out which was left in a state of disrepair for three years. The Anfield boss was ordered to pay £400 and £375 costs, with a £40 surcharge at Blackburn magistrates' court for leaving a £69,950 terrace house in Accrington with broken windows and doors and rubbish strewn across the garden. Rodgers - whose Liverpool side crashed out of the FA Cup on Sunday in a 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa - and his business partner Judith O'Hagan were found guilty of ignoring an improvement notice issued by Hyndburn Council. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has been convicted of leaving a property in Accrington to rot . Rodgers had been told to fix the windows, doors and roof, and to remove the rubbish from the house's garden . The pair had been ordered to fix the windows, doors and roof, and to remove the rubbish, but the house was left to rot. Both Rodgers and O'Hagan, who bought the property in August 2007, were absent when found guilty at Blackburn magistrates' court. Local neighbours and former tenants of the property have criticised the failure to maintain the property. The house is located in an area of Accrington which is undergoing a £13million regeneration project to sort out over 200 derelict empty properties. Former Deputy leader of Hyndburn Council, Clare Pritchard, said at an earlier stage of the project: 'We are working with PlaceFirst on a major regeneration project to bring over 200 derelict empty properties back in to use in Woodnook within the next three years. 'As an authority we take a tough line on people who fail to bring their properties into repair and this strong enforcement policy will play a part of the regeneration of the area.' The house (outlined) is in an area which is undergoing a £13million regeneration project, this image was taken in March 2009, seemingly before the issues which brought on the magistrates court case . The Liverpool boss issues instructions to Emre Can during Sunday's FA Cup defeat by Aston Villa at Wembley . An improvement notice, as served to Rodgers and O'Hagan, requires a landlord to carry out work to deal with a hazard associated with a property. If the landlord does not do the work, or 'reasonable progress' is not made, the local authority can carry out work itself and claim the costs back from the landlord. They were convicted in December 2013 of failing to comply with an enforcement notice under Section 79 of the Building Act 1984.

Spring. The season that brings with it 'the sweet smell of different flowers in odor and in hue'. William Shakespeare once wrote. Try telling that to apparent cold-blooded Manchester City stars Yaya Toure, Sergio Aguero, Martin Demichelis and Eliaquim Mangala, who chose to pull on their woolies for April's blockbuster Manchester derby in front of an unforgiving Old Trafford crowd; unusually late for this time of year. Admittedly temperatures in the north west on Sunday afternoon were not exactly soaring - hitting between six and eight degrees Celsius by the time of the 4pm kick off - but was it enough to wear gloves while competing as a top athlete for 90 minutes? Probably not. Yaya Toure (left) was one of four players in the Manchester derby who chose to wear gloves at Old Trafford . After another below-par game Toure was described by Gary Neville as a 'weed' in Manchester City's garden . Glove-wearing Sergio Aguero opened the scoring on derby day . It was a far from blossoming performance for the visitors as well, and like autumn leaves City fell embarrassingly to their local rivals. After a less-than-warm welcome and despite springing first at Old Trafford following an early strike from Sergio Aguero, City lacked the killer edge to overcome their adversaries. This time of year is notorious for exposing a plague of unwanted weeds in the garden, and Gary Neville knew this all too well after the clash saw his former enemies lose for the fourth time in six Premier League matches. Eliaquim Mangala looked shaky again in the Manchester City defence but at least his hands stayed warm . Argentina defender Martin Demichelis (right) slides in on Wayne Rooney during the fierce encounter . Outlook: Sprinkles. Partly sunny. Wind: 14 mph . Humidity: ↑ 93% . Temperature: 43(F) 'There are some weeds in the garden and you've got to get them out of the changing room pretty quick,' Neville said of the City players - particularly Toure - in his post-match analysis. 'You cannot carry passengers.' Goals from Ashley Young, Marouane Fellaini, Juan Mata and Chris Smalling made sure under-fire boss Manuel Pellegrini would be thinking about preparing his weed killer by the end of the night. But it wasn't only the City quartet who needed the warmth... Fourth official at Old Trafford, Jonathan Moss, was also sporting a pair of hand warmers whilst introducing both sets of substitutes on Sunday. However, we'll let him off, he was only watching. Fourth official Jonathan Moss was also among those to wrap up warm at Old Trafford .

Summary: Four Manchester City stars pull on the gloves for spring derby showdown . No Manchester United players chose to take such drastic measures . United defeated City 4-2 at Old Trafford despite going a goal down early on .

De Jong was lucky to be on the pitch after a late and dangerous sliding tackle went unpunished in the first half before he finally made it into the referee's book for leading with his elbow, an action that could have seen him sent off. With European involvement pretty much a pipe dream now for Filippo Inzaghi's side, who sit eighth seven points behind fifth-placed Fiorentina, the best they can hope for is to ruin the hopes of their rivals.

In February, when Lady Gaga went on stage at the Oscars, millions of viewers in more than 200 countries saw her perform a tribute to The Sound of Music to mark its 50th anniversary. In Los Angeles there was a standing ovation when the original star, Julie Andrews, came on stage. However, one country was left baffled: Austria, where the movie was set and filmed. ‘We didn’t really know what was going on,’ said one Austrian I know. Each year, 300,000 people come to Salzburg to soak up the magic and visit the locations of the film – it’s the reason three-quarters of all tourists head to the city. The beautiful flower beds of at Mirabell Gardens in Salzburg that Sound of Music fans will recognise . Julie Andrews from the beloved film The Sound of Music, fans of which continue to flock to Salzburg . The first tours started shortly after the film opened, but now buses emblazoned with The Sound of Music circle the city, day in, day out. And the Austrians still don’t get it. You’ll be looking a long time in the Salzburg tourist shops before you find a Julie Andrews postcard for sale, let alone lederhosen fashioned from curtain fabric. There are some real advantages in this if you’re a fan of The Sound of Music. And I am. It means there’s nothing to stop me from splashing about in fountains while humming that I have confidence or juggling fruit in the markets (perhaps not a good idea). The Old Town, where much of the movie was shot, is too narrow for tour buses, and that fact – combined with the lack of tourist tat – means there’s nothing to break the spell as you slide into The Sound of Music mindset. Also happily for fans of the film, Salzburg is a pretty conservative sort of place, and doesn’t rush about embracing change. Half a century after shooting the movie, Julie Andrews could return to the city and wander round without too many shocks to the system (providing she overlooked the McDonald’s on Getreidegasse, sitting uncomfortably amid shops selling Austrian national dress). For me, Salzburg is the most hummable city ever – although the tunes you find yourself humming are probably not those that would be chosen by the city fathers. Lady Gaga paid tribute to the film, in the presence of its original star, for its 50 anniversary at the Oscars . Built into the mountains, in medieval times the church harnessed much of the local wealth that came from salt mining – in fact, it still owns a lot of the surrounding land, and built the magnificent monasteries and convents that dominate the city. The real Maria von Trapp – played by Andrews in the film – actually did become a novice at Nonnberg, which was founded in the 8th Century. Head past here around 7pm and you’re still likely to hear the real-life nuns singing Gregorian chants. Bells peel at every opportunity and the mountains – well, it’s safe to say they haven’t changed

Summary: Each year 300,000 people visit Salzburg to visit magical filming locations . The first tours started shortly after the film debuted 50 years ago . Buses emblazoned with The Sound of Music circle the city every day .

Benefits and welfare schemes are often blamed for making people less likely to want to work. But a study has found that the opposite may be true. A Europe-wide survey of 19,000 people revealed that the more a country paid to the unemployed or sick, and invested in employment schemes, the more likely its residents were to want a job. A Europe-wide survey of 19,000 people revealed the more a country paid to the unemployed or sick the more likely its residents were to want a job. In Norway, which pays the highest benefits in Europe, almost 80% of people wanted a job. In Estonia, one of least generous, only around 40% did . In Norway in particular, which pays the highest benefits in Europe, almost 80 per cent of people wanted a job, . By contrast in Estonia, one of the least generous countries, only around 40 per cent did. The survey was carried out by sociologists Dr Kjetil van der Wel and Dr Knut Halvorsen from Oslo and Akershus University College. They examined responses to the statement: 'I would enjoy having a paid job even if I did not need the money' put to the interviewees for the European Social Survey in 2010. People who are hungry are more inclined to support of the welfare state policies that help the poor. The extraordinary results of a recent study from Aarhus University found that the state of our bodies has a significant influence on our position on specific political issues. Researchers said people's support for apparently altruistic policies of wealth redistribution is not so much a reflection of concern for the poor but 'rather a strategy for securing further resources for themselves.' And they their findings could revolutionise perceptions of how people come to adopt a political stance, with our ideological views apparently swayed by basic biology. These responses were then compared with the amount the countries spent on welfare benefits and employment schemes, while taking into account the population differences between the member states. The UK was average for the generosity of benefits, which was reflected in the percentage of people agreeing with the statement at almost 60 per cent. The researchers also found that governments that intervene to help the unemployed find work made people in general more likely to agree that they wanted work even if they didn't need the money. 'Many scholars and commentators fear that generous social benefits threaten the sustainability of the welfare state due to work norm erosion, disincentives to work and dependency cultures,' the researchers said in the paper, 'The bigger the worse? A comparative study of the welfare state and employment commitment'. 'A basic assumption is that if individuals can obtain sufficient levels of well-being - economic, social and psychological - from living off public benefits, compared to being employed, they would prefer the former. The UK was average for the generosity of benefits and this was reflected in the percentage of people wanting to work - at 60% (stock image pictured). The study also found that governments that intervene to help
