A 96-year-old paedophile became Britain's oldest prisoner after he was jailed for the historic sexual abuse of two young girls. Gaston Pinsard was sentenced to 18 months behind bars after he admitted carrying out the assaults more than 50 years ago. The 96-year-old, who claimed he was himself abused at a notorious Jersey children's home, first targeted his victims when they were just five-years-old. Frail Gaston Pinsard, 96, is thought to be Britain's oldest serving prison . A judge branded the historic case 'distressing' and 'unpleasant' as he jailed the frail father-of-four. Guernsey's Royal Court heard that Pinsard was born in 1919 and claimed he had endured years sexual abuse at the Haut de la Garenne children's home. The Jersey home came under intense scrutiny in 2008 after police took statements from 192 alleged victims of historic child abuse. Pinsard joined the army after leaving Haut de La Garenne, where he realised his sexual outlook and experiences were different to other peoples. The court heard he later indecently assaulted the two young girls through curiosity and naivety. The abuse began in 1951, and the court was told the victims did not report what was happening because they were too young to understand what was happening and that they trusted Mr Pinsard. He was first questioned by Guernsey Police officers last year and immediately confessed to carrying out the abuse over a nine year period. The court heard how Pinsard touched the first girl on numerous occasions between 1951 and 1955, and the second between 1964 and 1969 at his home in St Sampson, Guernsey. In a statement read out in court Mr Pinsard admitted he felt ashamed and knew at the time what he was doing was wrong but he could not control it. Pinsard was married with four children at the time of the offences, which took place over a period of nine years and only stopped when he decided to 'stop his filthy habit'. He explained to the court how he 'didn't want to hurt any children'. His wife has now passed away, but Pinsard was accompanied to court by his son. At an earlier hearing the defendant, who uses a hearing aid, admitted nine charges of indecent assault. The Haut de La Garenne children's home in Jersey, where the paedophile claims he was abused as a young boy . Pinsard's defence asked the court to exercise extreme caution, suggesting it would be difficult for the prison to accommodate his needs and medication. In sentencing, Judge Russell Finch acknowledged it was 'a difficult situation' and took his age and health into account, stating that a younger man would have received between seven and nine years. Accounting for the risk of the defendant becoming ill and dying in Prison, Mr Finch sentenced Pinsard to two 18-month sentences in Les Nicolles prison, which will run concurrently. The Prison Officers Association have said they believed Pinsard is the oldest serving prisoner in the British Isles.

Stevie McCrorie has been crowned the winner of The Voice UK 2015, after beating fellow contestant Lucy O'Byrne in the final. Now mentor Ricky Wilson, his fellow celebrity judges Rita Ora, Tom Jones and Will.i.am, and most of all bosses at the BBC will all have their fingers crossed for his success. Because it's not just a hit single Stevie needs, he also has to break the curse of previous winners who have failed to do anything but flop out of the charts. Scroll down for video . Can this year's The Voice UK champion Stevie McCrorie break the winners' curse? His mentor Ricky Wilson is confident Stevie could be just what the BBC needs to pull their talent show out of ridicule . Leanne Mitchell, the first ever winner of The Voice UK, has been dropped by her record label and now works as a holiday camp performer. The very job she was hoping to leave behind when first auditioning for the show . Series one winner Leanne Mitchell, mentored to success in 2012 by Sir Tom Jones, blew everyone away with her version of Whitney Houston's I Would Run To You in the live final. But despite much excitement surrounding her first single, she failed to rank any higher than number 45 in the music charts. Then a year later came her album, a record of songs written entirely by her rather than a compilation of cover versions, which failed to chart in the top 100. Some, including The Script frontman and former Voice coach Danny O'Donoghue, believe Leanne didn't have the right work ethic. When asked last year about Leanne's flop, he said, 'I was told by Tom Jones, and by the label as well, that Leanne just did not want to work as hard as you have to work to be a pop star.' Leanne won the public vote in the final of The Voice UK's first ever series, but her debut single, a cover of Whitney Houston's I Would Run To You only just managed to scrape into the top 50 after being released . Leanne Mitchell has now returned to her previous employment, singing for holiday campers at Potters Leisure Resort in Hopton-On-Sea, Norfolk, after failing to make her mark on the music industry . After being dropped by her label Decca, Leanne is now working in the job she thought she'd left behind - singing for holiday campers at Potters Leisure Resort in Hopton-On-Sea, Norfolk. The singer has defended her efforts, suggesting that she was given poor advice and not enough support once she'd finished writing her album. But can the same be said for series two winner, Andrea Begley? Former The Voice UK coach Danny O'Donoghue criticised Leanne Mitchell for not working hard enough after winning series one of the BBC talent show, but has failed to make his own winning act, Andrea Begley, who was crowned champion of the second series in 2013, into a household name either . Partially sighted Irish singer Andrea was determined to avoid the mistakes of her predecessor

Summary: Leanne Mitchell has been dropped by her label and sings at a holiday camp . Andrea Begley and Jermain Jackman are yet to become household names . Will 2015 winner Stevie become a chart success or another Voice flop?

Spanish police have killed a man in his 70s who barricaded himself into his home after shooting his daughter's boyfriend and a police officer last night. Following a night of failed negotiations, the shooter opened fire on the the armed police unit that stormed the house at 8am this morning. The man who has been named as Jose Luis by Spanish daily El Pais yelled 'enter if you have the balls' before an intense firefight ensued. Wounded: A Spanish man who shot and wounded his daughter's boyfriend (both pictured) and barricaded himself into his own home has been shot dead . He shot at the officers who raided the home in the north-eastern city of Zaragoza and seriously wounded one before they shot him dead. His daughter has been been pictured lying next to her injured partner outside the house in Ejea de los Caballeros. The 50-year-old man is in a serious condition at Hospital Clinico in Zaragoza after being shot twice in the shoulder with a shotgun, according to The Local. 15 minutes after the first attack, the now-dead shooter also shot a police officer who approached the house. A police spokesman has said said the man holed up in his own house for over 12 hours after shooting the two men who both needed medical treatment. An officer gave these details to el Periodico on the condition of anonymity because force regulations prevent him from being identified publicly. Forced entry: After a night of failed negotiations in Zaragoza, an elite police unit stormed the man's house this morning (pictured) and killed him . Agents tried to coax the man into leaving his home throughout the night without success - and had to return early this morning with armed officers. The Civil Guard finally decided to enter the house and confront the man who was shot dead when they slammed open the front door. Locals in the town, which has around 10,000 inhabitants, told El País that the man has three daughters and is usually 'calm' keeping himself to himself.

The classic denial, 'This old thing?' continues to be used in full force by Australians, according to a new study. A staggering 1.2 million either possess a secret credit card of hide purchases from their partner. According to new research, one in ten cardholders, or an estimated 800,000 Australians, also admit their credit card spending has lead to an argument with a partner. Put it on plastic: A new study of Australians' spending habits reveals that 1.2 million either have a secret credit card or hide purchases from a partner . The study of 1,200 cardholders by Creditcardfinder.com.au found that the biggest culprits of covert credit behaviour are women. 17 per cent will hide their credit card spending, versus 14 per cent of men. It isn't just women keeping mum either, Generation Y (aged 18-34 ) were found to be the least trustworthy of the age categories when it came to their credit card spending. 25 per cent of Gen Y were found to either have a secret credit card or hidden purchases, well above other age groups. This old thing? 17 per cent will hide their credit card spending, versus 14 per cent of men . They were also likely to be the most argumentative about their spending, versus Baby Boomers who had a much clearer concious and weren't likely to hide their spending or argue about it. Crafty card holding habits also varied between states too. Those in New South Wales were found to argue over their spending more than Western Australians. However, Victorians had the most cunning credit card behaviour with 18 per cent admitting to a secret credit card versus the 9 per cent of Queenslanders. The stats: One in three don’t pay off their bill each month and 96 per cent make at least one unplanned purchase per month . Generational: 25 per cent of Gen Y were found to either have a secret credit card or hidden purchases . Yet, when it comes to spending habits across the board, credit card holders were found to have a penchant for purchasing over paying back. One in three don’t pay off their bill each month and 96 per cent make at least one unplanned purchase a month, with shopping sprees being the most common transaction. With the latest Reserve Bank Australia research showing Australians currently owe a net worth of over $50.1 billion across 16 million credit cards, it then comes at no surprise card holders are hiding their habits.

Summary: New survey analysed Australian credit card habits . 15 per cent admit to having a credit card their partner doesn't know about . One in ten have fights with partners over credit card purchases . Gen Y are the most stealthy credit card culprits over other age groups . 17 per cent of women hide their spending, versus 14 per cent of men .


Nico Rosberg fears the threat from Ferrari in this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix, describing their pace as 'dangerous' and 'worrying'. Following Friday practice, in particular the evening session under the lights at the Bahrain International Circuit, Mercedes appeared comfortable. Rosberg topped the timesheet with a lap of one minute 34.647secs, finishing 0.115secs quicker than team-mate Lewis Hamilton after the reigning champion locked up in the second sector, costing him four tenths of a second. Nico Rosberg has admitted he's wary of the threat rivals Ferrari pose ahead of Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix . The Mercedes driver was complimentary of Ferrari and described their pace as 'dangerous' and 'worrying' Ferrari duo Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel finished third and fourth quickest, just over half a second adrift of Rosberg. Yet the 29-year-old German, who trails Hamilton by 17 points in the drivers' standings, is deeply concerned by Ferrari from what he witnessed over the course of the two 90-minute sessions. 'We are very quick on one lap again, and Ferrari are very dangerous on the long run,' said Rosberg. 'They have serious pace, which is very worrying. It looks like they are a genuine threat. 'In qualifying we are much quicker, but in the race they are quick. 'Tyre wise, it is pretty straightforward, with both tyres (the soft and medium-compound Pirellis) quite robust. It is just the absolute pace which is important.' Rosberg (left) trails team-mate Lewis Hamilton by 17 points in the drivers' standings ahead of Sunday's race . Barring mistakes it appears another Mercedes front-row lock-out is likely, with the Ferrari's occupying the second row, and from there a battle with strategy and pace. Hamilton has also expressed concerns about Ferrari as he said: 'They are going to be very close. They look very good, from what I can see, in the long run. 'The crucial part is we know we have speed in a qualifying lap, so it's more the speed on the race runs. 'That's an area we're really trying to work on, but other than that the car has been feeling very good, I'm really happy with it.' But the 29-year-old topped the timesheet with a lap of one minute 34.647secs during Friday practice . Vettel, 13 points adrift of Hamilton, endured a disruptive day as a loss of power compromised FP1, whilst a collision with Sergio Perez in his Force India hampered FP2. McLaren's Jenson Button also suffered a wretched day with technical issues in both sessions, resulting in a lack of running that left him down in 19th position, 4.5 seconds behind Rosberg and sandwiched between Manor duo Will Stevens and Roberto Merhi. Saturday could be problematic for all, though, as a sandstorm has been forecast to hit the area at some point during the day.

Summary: Nico Rosberg described Ferrari's pace as 'dangerous' and 'worrying' The Mercedes driver is preparing for Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix . Rosberg was faster than team-mate Lewis Hamilton during Friday practice .


An eight-year-old girl, who lost her leg in a terrible accident last year, has given her first solo dance performance since she became an amputee eleven months ago - earning a standing ovation for her moving routine. Alissa Sizemore, from Vernal, Utah, was only seven-years-old when a truck ran over her foot and immediately severed it. Although the dancer, who has been taking lessons since she was four-years-old, had to have her right leg amputated below the knee, she was determined to get back in the dance studio as soon as possible. 'I just didn't want to give up,' Alissa told People. 'Dancing has been my favorite thing since I was four. I don't have part of my leg, but I can't let that stop me. I still want to dance.'

The baggage handler who woke up from a nap inside the cargo hold of a flying plane did not realize until a piece of luggage fell on top of him. Alaska Airlines Flight 448 bound for Los Angeles was forced to return to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Monday when passengers heard banging and pleas for help coming from beneath the aircraft. Today, the unnamed Seattle Airport employee revealed he might have slept much longer if it hadn't been for the passengers' bags. He told ABC News: 'When the bags started moving and I heard the sound of the engine, I had to think fast about what to do for me to get out.' Scroll down for audio and video . Can you hear me now? This is the moment an Alaska Airlines baggage handler was pulled from the cargo hold after falling asleep. Earlier, the terrified man called 911 begging the dispatcher for help . Safe: This is the baggage handler who fell asleep aboard the Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle to Los Angeles on Monday . In a desperate bid for help, he called 911 and spoke to a bemused operator for 44 seconds before he was cut off. 'It was nothing but pitch black and a loud noise,' the man told ABC. 'So I was scared, and I didn't know what was going on.' The employee of airline contractor Menzies Aviation had dozed off inside the plane at the end of his shift and woke 14 minutes into the flight. On Thursday, the trapped baggage handler's desperate 911 call was released, revealing the man's panic and terror. 'Hello, I'm trapped in this plane!' he tells he operator.

The airport worker then rattles off the number of the flight and begs the dispatcher to call for help. 'Can you please, can somebody stop it?' he pleads.

Nigeria's new President marked the first anniversary since more than 200 schoolgirls were abducted by Boko Haram militants by saying he did not know if they would ever be found. Muhammadu Buhari, who won the presidential election two weeks ago, said his administration would do everything in their power to bring the students home - but said he could not promise they would find them. The announcement came as a march was held through the Nigerian capital of Abuja to mark the first anniversary since the girls were abducted from a secondary school in Chibok. Protestors marched through Abuja with red tape over their mouths, carrying a poster with pictures of some of the missing girls. It is now a year since more than 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped by Boko Haram militants . Muhammadu Buhari said his government will do 'everything in their power' to find and return around 220 missing schoolgirls to their families, as young girl joins the rally outside the Nigerian ministry of education . Almost 300 girls were taken away in trucks on the night of April 14 to 15 2014, after the terrorists from Boko Haram - meaning 'Western education is sinful' - broke into their school by pretending to be guards. The students were forced to convert to Islam and marry group members. The attack sparked worldwide condemnation and a huge campaign called '#bringbackourgirls' - but more than 200 are still missing after others were freed or killed. In a statement, former military rule Buhari said he would take a different approach to the crisis as outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan, who was criticised for responding slowly to the kidnapping after arguing a hasty rescue would risk killing them. A rally was also held in New York, attended by congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (right), one year since the schoolgirls were kidnapped. Nigeria's new president said the whereabouts of the students is not known . 'We do not know if the Chibok girls can be rescued', Buhari said. 'Their whereabouts remain unknown. As much as I wish to, I cannot promise that we can find them.' 'My government will do everything in its power to bring them home', he added. As families mark one year since their daughters were abducted, Lawan Abana - whose two nieces were among those kidnapped - said he is still hopeful they will be found. 'It was handled in a lousy manner', he said. 'We are confident that the girls are still alive.' Amnesty International said in a report on Tuesday that Boko Haram has kidnapped at least 2,000 Nigerian women and girls since the start of 2014, many of whom were sexually abused or trained to fight. Pictured in May last year, the missing Nigerian schoolgirls were filmed wearing the full-length hijab . Boko Haram - which means 'Western education is sinful' - forced the girls to convert to Islam and marry . The document, which includes scores of victim testimonies, accuses Boko Haram of rape, forced marriages and coercing them into armed attacks, sometimes on their own villages. One 19-year-old, who asked

Summary: New President says he doesn't know if 200 missing girls can be rescued . March through Nigerian capital marks one year since the kidnapping . More than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped last April by Islamic extremists . Crisis sparked worldwide criticism and #bringbackourgirls campaign .


Campaign: Amanda Burleigh has won her battle . A midwife has won a decade-long battle to give mothers more time attached to their newborns before the umbilical cord is cut. Amanda Burleigh was convinced that clamping the cord within seconds of delivery – shutting off the blood supply from the placenta – was wrong. Since the 1950s, when doctors and midwives started giving women a hormonal injection to reduce the risk of haemorrhage, they have clamped the cord within seconds of birth. They feared the drug – since replaced with a safer substitute – could harm the baby. But Ms Burleigh, a midwife at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, believed it was unnatural to clamp the cord when it was still visibly pulsating with blood. She said: ‘One day I had a brainwave and thought, “We all clamp the cord within seconds of the baby being born, but we are doing it without any evidence about whether it’s good or bad for the baby.”' She contacted other medics, including obstetrician Dr David Hutchon, and together the group amassed evidence that stopping the blood flow so early could be harmful. One study showed immediate cord-clamping could deprive a baby of a third of its blood stock – enough to fill a medium-size wine glass. In particular, they found the practice raised the risk of iron deficiency anaemia. A tenth of all toddlers are anaemic, which is linked to delays in learning, speaking and understanding. There is also growing evidence that immediate cord-clamping can be particularly harmful for premature babies. They have finally succeeded in getting the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to change its guidelines. NICE now states that doctors and midwives should not routinely clamp the cord ‘earlier than one minute from the birth of the baby’. The cord should be clamped within five minutes, but left longer if the mother requests. Besides the medical benefits, the change means mothers get the chance to hold their babies for a moment while still connected to them. Ms Burleigh, a midwife for 26 years, said she had to overcome persistent doubts from colleagues, who asked who she was to query medical protocol. ‘There was quite a lot of resistance from both doctors and midwives,’ she said. ‘At times I felt like a whistleblower.’ There is also growing evidence that immediate cord-clamping can be particularly harmful for premature babies . However, she said she felt a ‘moral duty’ to challenge a practice that was not grounded in evidence. Dr Hutchon, now retired, said hospitals had blindly clamped and cut within seconds of birth for decades. He said: ‘We didn’t notice we were doing any harm because we were doing it to every baby.’ He became interested in 2003 after hearing that more premature babies survived when the cord was not cut early. But he said there was ‘continual resistance to change’ – with some doctors refusing delayed cord-clamping even today. Some still believed the theory that immediate clamping reduced the risk of mothers haemorrhaging, Dr Hutchon said, even though a 2013 study

Summary: Amanda Burleigh was convinced clamping cord immediately was wrong . Contacted other medics and they amassed evidence it could be harmful . National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines have changed . Cord shouldn't be routinely clamped ‘earlier than one minute from the birth'


Lawyers for jailed millionaire Robert Durst say he wants authorities to return more than $161,000 in cash taken after the real estate heir was arrested for murder. The attorneys say Durst, 72, got the money, now held by New Orleans police, legally and it is not needed for evidence or subject to forfeiture in any of his legal proceedings. Durst was arrested at the JW Marriott hotel in New Orleans on a Los Angeles County warrant that accused him of killing his friend Susan Berman in 2000 to keep her from talking to investigators about the disappearance of his first wife in 1982. Scroll down for video . Murder suspect Robert Durst and his lawyers have asked for the return of $161,000 taken during his arrest in March. Above, the suspect leaves an arraignment in New Orleans on April 14 . Authorities who arrested Durst in mid-March found $44,000, marijuana and a revolver at his hotel room in New Orleans. They also found maps of Florida and Cuba, leading some to believe he was ready for a life on the run . His lawyers say the arrest in mid-March was timed to mesh with the finale of The Jinx, HBO's six-part series about Durst, his wife's disappearance, Berman's death, and the death and dismemberment of Durst's neighbor Morris Black in 2001. Authorities found more than $44,000 in Durst's hotel room, according to legal papers filed Wednesday. After his arrest, they intercepted a package containing personal items and $117,000 that was sent to the hotel for Everette Ward — the name Durst used to register there. During a hearing last month, a prosecutor said the package of $100 bills, a head-and-chest latex mask and a map folded to show Louisiana, Florida and Cuba were evidence that Durst was likely to flee if bond was set for him. Durst (right) was arrested for the murder of his friend and writer Susan Berman (left) in 2000, which some believe he may have committed to stop her from talking to authorities about the disappearance of his wife . Durst, the heir to a vast real estate fortune before becoming estranged from his family, is also connected to the 1982 disappearance of his first wife Kathy McCormack (left, with Durst) and the killing of Morris Black (right) They believe he had been gathering cash for life on the run. Durst is being held without bond on the California murder warrant and on state and federal weapons charges in Louisiana for the loaded revolver that was found in his hotel room. Investigators also found five ounces of marijuana in the room. Durst's attorneys also are making a second attempt to get the FBI agents and state trooper who arrested Durst to testify in state court. A statement filed with the court on Wednesday shows that a private investigator delivered subpoenas Monday to Agents Crystal Bender and William C. Williams and to Trooper Saunders Craine. Durst has been in custody since his mid-March arrest (pictured) and is facing federal and Louisiana state gun charges before extradition to California .

Summary: Durst arrested in March for California murder of friend Susan Berman . Authorities found map of Florida and Cuba along with cash and drugs . Lawyers say that money not needed for evidence in charges against client . Durst faces state and federal gun charges before extradition for murder .


Defence Minister Kevin Andrews has failed to name the leader of terrorist organisation the Islamic State on the same day the Federal Government announced they would be sending more than 300 Australian troops to Iraq. Australian soldiers are embarking on a two-year mission in Iraq, but will be spending it 'behind the wire' not engaging in combat, Mr Andrews said. But during an embarrassing interview on the ABC's 7.30 program, the Mr Andrews declined to reveal the brutal regime's leader. Scroll down for video . Defence Minister Kevin Andrew was unable to name the leader of Islamic State on ABC's 7.30 . When host Leigh Sales asked him to name the terror group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Mr Andrews claimed he was unable to do so for 'operational reasons'. 'Can you name the leader of IS?' Sales asked. Mr Andrews replied: 'I'm not going to go into operational matters.' But Sales would not let him off the hook, saying: 'I don't think that's operational, I think it's a matter of public record.' Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is leader of notorious terrorist organisation Islamic State, which is wrestling to take power in Syria and Iraq . Sales continued, saying given the U.S. government had a $10 million bounty on his head, she was 'surprised' he couldn't name the terrorist leader. Mr Andrews argued I.S. did not just have one leader because it was made of many groups and there was not just one individual involved. Earlier that day, the Prime Minister announced Australian troops would return to Iraq with the aim to provide Iraqi security forces with the skills and training to defend their country, to degrade and ultimately defeat the forces of Islamic State or Daesh. Mr Andrews said Australian troops would not accompany the Iraqi forces they train into battle. 'No, they stay, to use the expression, inside the wire. They won't be going outside the Taji base. All the training will take place there,' he told ABC television. Mr Andrews was appearing on 7.30 following the Federal Government's announcement 330 troops would be leaving for Iraq . This is a stark contrast with deployments over the past decade when troops conducted sweeping patrols across southern Iraq, occasionally contacting insurgent forces. Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced on Tuesday his cabinet had given the go-ahead for deployment of Task Force Taji, 330 Australian and 100 new Zealand troops to train Iraqi soldiers for the next two years. Mr Abbott said Iraq was a dangerous place and the mission was not risk-free. The joint force deployment this week coincides with the centenary of Anzac. Mr Andrews said the mission would be reviewed continually but there would be a formal review after 12 months. He said there had been an improvement with Iraqi forces ousting Daesh from the city of Tikrit. 'So we are confident that there will be more gains over the next year to two and that's what we've made a commitment to,' he said. Mr Andrews said 5,000 Iraqi troops had already been trained by four international training missions.

Summary: Defence Minister Kevin Andrew was unable to name leader of Islamic State . He cited 'operational reasons' as why he didn't say Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi . Earlier, the Federal Government announced 330 troops would go to Iraq . But Mr Andrew said they would not be engaging in combat on front lines .


Ronny Deila lauded his players for stretching their lead at the top of the Premiership with victory at St Mirren – then hit out at the state of pitches in Scotland. A James Forrest strike and Stefan Johansen’s penalty were enough to see off a spirited challenge by the bottom side as Celtic moved eight points clear of Aberdeen. But although pleased with the way his side stayed patient to win, Deila felt their cause wasn’t helped by the state of the Paisley surface. And he believes Scottish football will struggle to develop top players if there isn’t a drastic improvement in our pitches. Celtic manager Ronny Deila was impressed with his side's performance against St Mirren on Friday night . ‘It was a tough game, St Mirren were well organised and played very deep,’ he said. ‘They fought really hard and it was difficult to break them down. We had to be patient. The pitch was better than some others we’ve played on. But the pitches in Scotland are terrible. ‘If you want to develop players and get passing football, it’s difficult when the ball is bouncing all the time. It’s much easier for the other teams to just sit behind the ball and try to break down our play. ‘It’s better to play on an artificial surface than this. If they are watering artificial pitches and they are of the best quality, it’s totally different and much closer to European standards. James Forrest slides on his knees to celebrate scoring Celtic's opening goal against St Mirren . ‘If we are going to develop good young players, you need a good surface to play and train on. If not, you get fighters. If you want skills and technique, play on better surfaces. ‘They are much better in Norway. Sixty per cent are artificial and the grass pitches are better as well because they don’t train there and there aren’t other teams playing on them. And we play in the summer. That’s the biggest thing. The pitch here might not look so bad but try to play on it.’ TV pictures showed Leigh Griffiths eating a chocolate biscuit while sitting on the bench. But Deila, a strong advocate of fitness and conditioning, laughed it off. ‘I think it was a carbo biscuit which is totally different! I’ll have to check his weight tomorrow.’ Celtic midfielder Stefan Johansen slots home from the penalty spot to secure his side's 2-0 victory . Goalscorer Johansen believes there’s no stopping Celtic as they close in on a treble. ‘It looks great for us now,’ he said. ‘I don’t think we’re unbeatable but there is a huge confidence in the team. ‘We are starting to look fitter and have much more of the ball because we’re playing with a higher tempo. That’s the way the manager wants us to play. I said in the beginning when people were asking questions I was confident he would be a great and it’s starting to look that way.’ Saints boss Gary Teale felt there were positives in defeat but wasn’t

Summary: Celtic beat St Mirren 2-0 to move eight points clear at the top of the league . Ronny Deila praised his players for their patience in waiting for the win . Although pleased, he said the pitches in Scotland are 'terrible' Deila believes it would be better to play on artificial pitches .


You’ve found the house of your dreams – but you want to make sure the costly nightmare of dry rot isn’t lurking under the carpets and skirting boards. The solution? Call in the dogs! The appropriately named Mark Doggett has trained his two animals to sniff out the destructive fungus in old houses where it can hide in places a person would miss. Mr Doggett gave up a ten-year career in construction after hitting on the idea to set up a business using the animals’ sense of smell, which is said to be up to a million times better than that of humans. Skilled: Meg and Jess, pictured with Mark Doggett, were trained for six months to sniff out dry rot . On the case: Four-year-old Border collie Meg gets down to work sniffing out the destructive fungus . When they find dry rot they stop, stare at it and point with their nose, only moving from the affected area when Mr Doggett gives them a special signal . After six months of training, four-year-old border collie Meg and 22-month-old English springer spaniel Jess went to work. When they find dry rot they stop, stare at it and point with their nose, only moving from the affected area when Mr Doggett gives them a special signal. The businessman, 30, from Wolverhampton, whose company is called Enviro-Dogs, said: ‘We’re unique in offering a dry rot detection service using dogs to the public. The dogs can go out to domestic properties or surveyors can hire us as part of their report. Dry rot is wood decay caused by the fungus Serpula lacrymans that digests the parts of the wood which give it strength. By the time there are visible signs, serious damage will have been done. It begins as a microscopic spore but the final stage is a fruiting body which pumps out new spores. Once airborne they can damage all parts of a property, penetrating brickwork and concrete floors seeking a wood source. If not treated, it can destroy a building. “It’s not really work for the dogs – they see it as the best game in the world and they enjoy it because it’s working on their natural instincts. The dogs are so effective because they can detect dry rot at much earlier stages. ‘In hidden places dry rot can grow for years without anyone noticing it. It can be hard to find but the dogs can detect it through carpet and wall panelling. ‘It takes a couple of minutes for the dog to search a room. People are slightly dubious when they first hear about us but after seeing what we can do they’re amazed.’ Prices start at £200 for a call-out and the business has been so successful Mr Doggett plans to expand it by training the dogs to hunt out bed bugs for hotels and hospitals. The businessman, 30, from Wolverhampton, whose company is called Enviro-Dogs, said: ‘We’re unique in offering a dry rot detection service using dogs to the public.' By the time there are visible signs of

It's not just your imagination: most American teenagers are online or on their smartphones every day, and many are almost continually connected. A Pew Research Center survey found that 92 percent of US teens go online daily - and 24% admit they are online constantly. It also household incomes can influence which social network children use - with Instagram and Snapchat being popular with children from wealthier families. A Pew Research Center survey found that 92 percent of US teens go online daily - and 25% admit they are online constantly. The Pew researcher revealed household incomes can influence which social network children use. That includes 56 percent who are online several times a day and 24 percent who say they are connected to the Internet and social networks 'almost constantly.' A key factor is the growing prevalence of smartphones. The survey of teens between the ages of 13 and 17 found that 73 percent had a smartphone and 30 percent had at least a basic cellphone. Even though 87 percent of teens have access to a computer, 91 percent went online daily using a mobile device at least occasionally, Pew found. The survey found that African-American and Hispanic youth are among the most active Internet users. Among African-American teens, 34 percent reported going online 'almost constantly' as did 32 percent of Hispanic youth and 19 percent of white teens. 'American teens, especially African-American youth, have embraced smartphones and the 24/7 access to people and information that they offer,' said Amanda Lenhart, a Pew researcher and the lead author of the report. Some 90 percent of teens with phones exchange text messages, with a typical teenager receiving 30 texts per day, Pew found. And one-third of those with smartphones use messaging apps such as WhatsApp or Kik. The researchers found Facebook remains the dominant social media network for young Americans despite the rise of new platforms. Among the teens surveyed, 71 percent said they used Facebook, with Instagram -- owned by Facebook -- the number two social media service used by 52 percent. Among the teens surveyed, Facebook was still the most popular . Asked about other social media, 41 percent of teens said they use Snapchat, 33 percent named Twitter and Google Plus, 24 percent were on Twitter-owned Vine and 14 percent used Yahoo-owned Tumblr. The figures appear to allay concerns that Facebook is being abandoned by youth as more older Internet users join the world's biggest social network. 'Even as Facebook remains an important platform for a majority of teens, Instagram is commanding the attention of half of teens, and Snapchat nearly that number,' said Lenhart. 'There are some interesting differentials in the most frequently used social platforms, with lower income teens using Facebook more often, while wealthier teens -- while still using Facebook -- are more likely than less wealthy teens to report that they use Snapchat or Twitter most often.' More than two-thirds of the teens surveyed said they use more than one social network. But of those who use only one, 66 percent said they opted for

Summary: 92 percent of US teens go online daily - and 24% are online constantly . Instagram and Snapchat popular with children from wealthier families . Facebook remains the dominant social media network .


Car-congested cities could become a thing of the past, provided people are prepared to ride-share with a robot driver. A new study claims these 'taxibots' could cut the number of cars needed to perform the same number of journeys per day by 90 per cent. The finding comes amid reports that companies such as Google and Uber are working on technology to develop driverless taxis. Scroll down for video . Car-congested cities could become a thing of the past, provided people are prepared to ride-share with a robot driver. Pictured is an interior view of a Google self-driving car showing the video and the data the car uses to 'see' the road. Google is believed to be working on technology for self-driving cabs, but hasn't revealed details . The study, by Paris-based Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development used data from Lisbon in Portugal. By plugging the data into a computer model, they simulated how such self-driving, communal cabs would affect traffic. Even with only one passenger per ride and no complementary public transport, the number of cars still dropped by 77 per cent. The authors said replacing personal cars with self-driving cabs would also free valuable real estate currently used for public parking - equivalent to over 200 football pitches in Lisbon’s case. Major technology firms are already banking on self-driving taxis to be the future of transportation. Even with only one passenger per ride and no complementary public transport, the number of cars still dropped by 77 per cent. In this image is one Google's autonomous vehicles pictured with Google Chairman Eric Schmidt (left) and US Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx (right) Last year, for instance, ride-sharing service Uber said it could replace all of its drivers with autonomous vehicles. CEO Travis Kalanick admitted the technology would keep costs down, and these savings could then be passed on to its customers. Corey Clothier, who is co-ordinating the trials told DailyMail.com that an accident involved a driverless car is inevitable - although he added none have taken place in his pilots. 'Systems will fail, people's judgements will fail,' he said. 'If someone jumps out from a blind spot from a vehicle, if it can't stop, it can't stop.' A recent report by the Institution of Engineering and Technology highlighted research that showed human drivers change their behaviour when using the same roads as autonomous cars. Motorists were found to copy the driving style of the computer controlled cars by leaving less space between them and the vehicle in front, but were less able to react quickly. However, many experts say that driverless cars could actually reduce the risk of accidents as computers are able to react a lot faster than humans. Google has also been teaching its vehicles to drive more safely by giving them instructions on 'defensive driving' styles. They have also been experimenting with teaching the vehicles 'body language' to communicate with other drivers what its intentions are. Speaking at the Code Conference in California, Kalanick said: ‘The reason Uber could be expensive is because you're not just paying for

Swapping personal cars with self-driving cabs would free valuable space . Google and Uber are already working on technology for self-driving taxis .

A killer who was mistakenly let of jail by bungling prison staff mid-way through his murder trial posted a video of himself brandishing a meat cleaver on his Facebook page. Martynas Kupstys, 26, spent three hours sitting on a bus stop across the road from Lincoln Prison after staff told him he was free to go in August 2014. The killer was on trial at the time for the murder of Ivans Zdanovics along with his brother-in-law Andrus Giedraitis at Lincoln Crown Court. Convicted murderer Martynas Kupstys, pictured, posed on video brandishing a large meat cleaver . The Lithuanian killer, who was jailed for life at Lincoln Crown Court, also waved a saucepan threateningly . Both men were this week jailed for life following the murder in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire in January 2014. Before the murder, Kupstys posted a video of himself brandishing a large meat cleaver and waving it at the person behind the camera in a threatening manner. He also uploaded a photograph of himself standing beside a waxwork of Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler. The judge in Kupstys' original trial abandoned the hearing after eight days following the blunder costing the tax payer thousands of pounds. During his retrial, Lincoln Crown Court heard that Kupstys sat at a bus stop outside the prison and went into a local hospital to use the toilet until prison staff went looking for him. Martynas Kupstys, pictured, was jailed for life for the murder of Ivans Zdanovics by Lincoln Crown Court . It was only when the prison bus arrived at the court that officials realised a mistake had been made. Giving evidence during his retrial, Kupstys told the court: 'I thought about running away. I thought about many things. I could go home, I could return to my friends, but I understood it cannot be that I was released. I should go to the court. 'I was released by mistake. I told them I was supposed to be at court. I was told everything was fine. I was told everything was in order and I was being released.' When asked about his brief period of freedom, he replied: 'I enjoyed the sunshine for a few hours. I sat on the bench 20 or 30 metres from the prison gate. I thought that they had released me by mistake and they should come and get me and take me back in. 'I was out of the prison for about three hours. There came a time when the prison officers came and fetched me. Many prison officers.' The mistake happened three weeks into the first trial which cost approximately £3,000 a day. The victim was found dead in his burnt-out home in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire in January 2014. A post mortem confirmed that Zdanovics died from smoke inhalation. Kupstys was jailed for life with a minimum tariff of 25 years while his co-accused Giedraitis was also given a life term with a minimum of 21 years. Government inspectors criticised the prison in 2012 who found it was severely over crowded by 50 per cent. A Prison Service

The average pet spends a staggering 21 hours a week watching TV, according to a new study. Owners admit they spend hours watching the box with their animals and even leave it on when they are out to keep them company. And the nation's cats, dogs and pigs show a marked preference for programmes featuring other animals while shunning reality shows such as the Keeping Up With The Kardashians and TOWIE. Paul O'Grady's show 'For the Love of Dogs' is an absolute television favourite of pets . Almost two thirds of goldfish owners, 63 per cent, even confess to putting the tank in sight of the TV so their fish can watch it for more than three and a half hours a day. The survey of 1,000 pet owners even found the owner of a micro pig lets their pet watch four hours of shows per day - or 28 hours a week. The new study by Virgin Media reveals how much our household pets love sitting in front of the box and watching their favourite TV programmes. Over a third of us, 34 per cent, say their pets watch three hours a day while left home alone - the equivalent of 42 episodes of EastEnders in a week. A quarter, 24 per cent, say their pets love watching TV so much they spend an incredible nine hours glued to it every day. Two-thirds of goldfish owners owned up to putting the bowl in sight of the TV and even the owner of a micro pig lets their pet watch 28 hours of TV a week . A survey has revealed that on average, pets watch 21 hours of TV of week, whether its with their owners or by themselves . A square-eyed one per cent of dogs are glued to the TV for over 10 hours. Owners heading off to work or spending the day out feel guilty for leaving their pet alone, as 29 per cent admit they turn on the TV as they believe their animal may get lonely without them. Pets’ favourite show is TV presenter Paul O’Grady’s For The Love Of Dogs as 17 per cent of animal owners said their pet can’t get enough of it. Documentary Natural World is a hit with pets as 14 per cent of owners say it’s their animals’ favourite show. Springwatch is pets’ third favourite show with 12 per cent of votes - and soap EastEnders is surprisingly fifth with 11 per cent. However, reality show Keeping up With The Kardashians is the least favourite show as only two per cent of pets like it - and just five per cent of animals like The Only Way is Essex. 1.

Tom Hanks' wife Rita Wilson has revealed she was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and has undergone a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. The 58-year-old actress, who took a leave of absence from Broadway play 'Fish in the Dark' earlier this month, shared the news through a statement published by People magazine on Tuesday. She explained that her first test for cancer came back negative but that she was correctly diagnosed after seeking a second opinion and underwent the procedure last week. 'Last week, with my husband by my side, and with the love and support of family and friends, I underwent a bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction for breast cancer after a diagnosis of invasive lobular carcinoma,' she said in the statement. Scroll down for video . By her side: Rita Wilson, who is married to Tom Hanks (pictured together in February), announced on Tuesday that she was recently diagnosed with cancer and has undergone a double mastectomy . 'I am recovering and most importantly, expected to make a full recovery. Why? Because I caught this early, have excellent doctors and because I got a second opinion.' Before the diagnosis, Wilson said she had 'vigilantly monitored' her health with mammograms and MRIs because she knew she had an underlying condition of LCIS, (lobular carcinoma in situ)'. The mother-of-two explained that she recently underwent a breast biopsy, but no sign of cancer was discovered until she sought the opinion of a second doctor on the advice of a friend. The doctor discovered the cancer and she then sought out the opinion of another pathologist, who confirmed the diagnosis, she said. Rita, who married Oscar-winner Tom in 1988, went on to implore others to seek a second opinion before thanking her loved ones for their support. 'I share this to educate others that a second opinion is critical to your health,' she said. 'You have nothing to lose if both opinions match up for the good, and everything to gain if something that was missed is found, which does happen. Early diagnosis is key.' On Facebook on Tuesday, she encouraged other women to seek a 'necessary and vital' second opinion if they found themselves in similar situations. 'Not just by another doctor but by another pathologist,' she added. 'I'm doing well and getting stronger every day.' Advice: She shared the news on Facebook and linked to a statement printed by People magazine. Her cancer was not found in the first round of tests so she encourgaed others to seek a second opinion, like she did . Treatment: Wilson, pictured last year, said she underwent two breast biopsies before she was diagnosed . Following her announcement, famous friends passed on their best wishes to the actress. 'Sending the wonderful Rita Wilson my love and best wishes for a speedy recovery and good health,' Katie Couric wrote on Twitter on Tuesday morning. Christiana Amanpour added: 'Wishing my good friend @RitaWilson the best as she makes this important announcement, which will help millions of women and their families.' 'Sending all my love to the brave and beautiful

Summary: The 58-year-old actress revealed her diagnosis in a statement on Tuesday . She explained that doctors initially failed to find the cancer but that it was discovered after she sought out a second opinion . She underwent surgery last week with Hanks by her side and she is expected to make a full recovery .

Chantelle Doherty (pictured) was involved in a raid on the home of a 92-year-old man where she bluffed her way in and stole several bottles of whisky . The niece of Gypsy Weddings star Paddy Doherty has been jailed for two years after she and an accomplice preyed on elderly people in their homes in 'cruel and heinous raids'. Chantelle Doherty, 21, of Prestwich, Greater Manchester, was involved in a raid on the home of a 92-year-old man in which she and another man bluffed their way in and stole several bottles of whisky, a decanter and a phone. Her friend Martin Lawrence, 27, also targeted a man aged 99 claiming he owed him money for non existing paving work. The incidents occurred after Doherty was freed from jail having been in prison for 16 months for leading a gypsy girl gang which carried out a string of vicious robberies. Doherty has now been jailed for two years after pleading guilty to burglary and fraud. Lawrence, of no fixed address, was jailed for five years after he pleaded guilty to three counts of burglary, three counts of fraud and one count each of robbery and attempted theft. Police said the offending began on November 9, 2013, when Lawrence and another man went to the home of the 99-year old man in Salford claiming to work for a paving company and asked the man if he wanted any work doing. He told them he did not but over the next few days they returned and called the victim on several occasions and persuaded him to hand over a large amount of money. A few days later Lawrence returned asking for more money but the man refused. Lawrence asked him for a drink and when the man went to make him one Lawrence went upstairs, where the man found him rooting through his drawers and told him to leave. He later found his wallet had been stolen and rang the police. Lawrence also returned in February and March 2014 asking to do more work on the driveway, but the man refused and called the police. Later on December 3 Lawrence went to the home of a 92-year-old man in Salford, pretending to be a charity collector. Doherty (pictured left) has been jailed for two years and accomplice Martin Lawrence (right) for five years . The man donated £5 to what he believed to be a good cause, but while Lawrence was there he stole £130 from the man's wallet and his credit card. On December 9 Lawrence approached a 54-year-old man in his garden at his home falsely claiming to be from the police and asked the man if they could go into his house to talk about a recent crime. The man became suspicious and asked to see his ID, which is when Lawrence showed the stolen credit card. The man asked Lawrence to leave and there was a struggle between the pair before Lawrence stole his wallet which contained a debit card and Tesco mobile top up card, and made off. A

A teenager with a deadly brain tumour must raise $80,000 by Tuesday night in order to pay for his life-saving surgery. Jackson Byrnes from Northern New South Wales was told by doctors that he had a stage four brain tumour that was too deep and aggressive to be safely operated on. The 18-year-old and his family then took matters into their own hands and found the only Australian neurosurgeon to perform the risky operation. After seven days of desperate campaigning through Facebook and the crowd funding page GoFundMe, the Casino teenager is over halfway to his goal with $47,000 being raised. A teenager with a deadly brain tumour must raise $80,000 by Tuesday night in order to pay for his surgery . After a week of campaigning online, the Casino teenager is over halfway to his goal with two days to go . According to the Gold Coast Bulletin, Mr Byrnes' girlfriend, Jahnae Jackson, noticed he had developed a limp a mere three weeks ago and prompted him to visit a doctor who requested an MRI. He was rushed to the Gold Coast for a biopsy which found a stage four tumour buried deep in the teenager's brain. Mr Byrnes was told they would not operate due to how deep the cancer was, but instead suggested chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Knowing that this was not enough, Mr Byrnes and his family searched for a specialist who would perform the dangerous procedure. They found neurosurgeon Charlie Teo who would operate on Wednesday as long as he received an upfront payment of $80,000 by Tuesday evening. The family then turned to social media and crowd sourcing in a desperate plea for donations. 'Most boys his age begin their journey into adulthood with hopes , dreams and anticipation of what lies ahead and excitement of the endless opportunities of what life will bring them,' Mr Byrne's fundraising page on GoFundMe reads. Messages of support and promotion of the cause have flooded social media for the Casino teenager . The donations have more than doubled since yesterday with over $47,000 being donated to GoFundMe .

Surgeons are calling for the rules on laser eye surgery to be strengthened after an apparent rise in patients receiving substandard care. A private hospital in Harley Street says that increasing numbers of people are seeking its help after being given bad advice or poor treatment elsewhere. And it says it is now time for the industry to be ‘taken to task’. A leading private eye hospital is calling for tighter regulations on laser eye surgery after noting a rise in the number of people who have been given inaccurate information or poor care. Up to 120,000 Britons have laser eye surgery each year to correct long and short-sightedness, and almost one in 20 of them suffer some sort of complication.Most operations are done privately, with patients paying up to £5,000 to have both eyes corrected. Last year, the consumer group Which? warned that not all clinics are properly explaining the risks involved. Regret: Law graduate Lois Roberts . Law graduate Lois Roberts said that surgery to correct her short-sightedness left her in agony. She suffered from painfully dry eyes after she had the laser treatment, which was caused by damage to the nerves that stimulate tears. And in the years after the procedure, Miss Roberts said she had to apply eye drops every day to alleviate the pain, which in itself can bring on chronic eye inflammation. Miss Roberts had used contact lenses and glasses since she was at primary school but found they were a nuisance when playing sport. She had the £1,500 treatment as part of her 21st birthday present in 2010. But it wasn’t the pain-free experience she was promised. She said: ‘I’m upset I wasn’t warned enough at my initial consultation that anything like this could happen. I would have thought much harder about it had I known the risks.’ Miss Roberts, from Gwynedd in North Wales, suffered from poor night vision and ‘floaters’ in the years after she had the surgery. ‘The floaters are like clumps of black lines and dots,’ she said. ‘I’ve been reassured they’re harmless, but they are incredibly annoying.’ Floaters can occur as a result of a popular form of laser surgery in which a flap is cut into the surface of the cornea — the clear, domed part of the eyeball. Poor night-time vision can occur if part of the cornea has been lasered incorrectly. Despite the side effects, the procedure did correct Miss Roberts’ vision. Its investigation found that one in three consultations by clinics offering the treatment was of poor quality. Now, surgeons are speaking out. They say that despite the term ‘laser eye surgery’, the procedure doesn’t have to be done by a surgeon or even someone with specialist eye knowledge. Instead, all that is required is that the person doing the operation is qualified as a doctor of some sort. Dr Saj Khan, an eye surgeon at the London Eye Hospital, said the unit is treating more patients who have received unsatisfactory treatment elsewhere than five years ago. And other specialist clinics are seeing a similar rise.

Summary: Warning comes from The London Eye Hospital in Harley Street . Comes after rise in patients previously given poor information or care . Said laser eye surgeons are presently only required to be registered as doctors - and no specialist qualifications are legally required .

HSBC has apologised after a link on its official website directed visitors to a pornographic page. Anyone trying to access the bank's page for the Young Entrepreneur Awards - which has since been shut down - was greeted by images of women posing naked or having sex. The porn site took over the address after the awards were scrapped in 2011 and the organisers allowed its registration on HSBC.com.hk to retire. Blunder: HSBC has apologised after a link on its official website directed visitors to a pornographic page (pictured) For that reason, the website's URL address which would usually connect to a third-party website transferred visitors to the porn business instead, a banking source told the South China Morning Post. HSBC yesterday removed the hyperlink from its main website after realising its embarrassing mistake. A spokesman denied the bank had any associations with the external site and offered its apology to the public. In a public statement dated April 20, HSBC said 'a link to an external third-party website has been removed' from its community projects webpage. It added: 'HSBC is not in any way associated with the external third-party website. HSBC would like to apologise to the public for any inconvenience caused.' The banking giant insisted its website remained secure. HSBC's internet banking service allows customers to check their account balances, transfer funds, and apply for loans and insurance, among others.

A waitress on a zero-hours contract who kept silent over her boss groping her because she feared her hours would be cut has won a £20,000 payout at an employment tribunal. Lucy Southern, who worked behind the bar at the hotel owned by Britannia Hotels in Leeds, was quizzed about her sex life and asked whether she wore stockings in bed by her line manager Alex Nkoroi. She complained in August 2013 but nothing was done and in October, Nkoroi began touching her, slapping her bottom and kissing her on the neck. Lucy Southern worked for Britannia Hotels and claims she quizzed about her sex life and groped by her line manager Alex Nkoroi . She also claimed he stood behind her to 'grind' up and down her back, simulating sex. He later stroked her back and prodded her in a private area with a pen, the hearing was told. At a meeting with the hotel manager, James Whittaker she told him: 'I didn't want to say anything in case he gave me less shifts. 'I feel like I have to get on with him so that I get my hours.' Ms Southern, who was 22 at the time and no longer works at the hotel, added: 'If I take back what I said about Alex I can just get my hours back can't I?' In the judgement of the panel, which found both Nkoroi and Brittania Hotels guilty of sex discrimination by way of harassment but cleared them of indirect sex discrimination, the tribunal stated: 'The claimant was a casual member of staff. 'She had a zero hours contract and it was certainly her belief whether right or wrong that the second respondent (Nkoroi) would be able to influence the number of hours that she would be given to work. 'When James Whittaker had every reason to believe that a manager had engaged in repeated sexualised behaviour in the workplace, during working hours, with a subordinate member of staff, he did not think that any form of disciplinary sanction was appropriate.' After the tribunal application was lodged, the hotel reinvestigated but found only one count, the neck kissing to be proved and that Miss Southern had encouraged it. Nkoroi was then required in September last year, to attend a bullying and harassment training course. When Miss Southern appealed against the decision of the second investigation, a third investigation was undertaken, but they rejected the appeal. Nkoroi had always denied all the allegations, but at the tribunal in Leeds, after saying he was a practising Christian and swearing on the bible, he refused to deny the accusations, though he said he had forgotten some and that some of the touching might have been accidental. He added that he may have had a conversation with her about her sexual practises but that it would have been in the context of a discussion about his religious beliefs. The panel added: 'We have no hesitation in concluding that the events complained of by Miss Southern occurred.' An employment tribunal at the City Exchange in Leeds,

Scientists have discovered an Achilles’ heel of prostate (pictured) cancer that could lead to better treatment for many men diagnosed with the disease . British scientists have discovered an ‘Achilles’ heel’ in prostate cancer which could lead to better treatments. The disease claims almost 11,000 lives a year in the UK, with most deaths occurring after it spreads around the body. The latest study gets to the root of this spread, and could mean better outcomes for the 42,000 men a year diagnosed with the illness. Scientists funded by Cancer Research UK studied samples taken from tumours in the prostate and around the body in ten affected men. Reading the DNA revealed details of how the cancer metastasises, or spreads, allowing them to build a ‘family tree’ of how the disease changes over time. It seems that most of the cells in a tumour stay where they are. However, a small number have the ability to travel through the body, creating new tumours as they go. These cells are the ‘root’ of the cancer and for a treatment to work, they should be destroyed. In future, doctors may be able to find these key cells in individual patients. They could then be given drugs to wipe them out, with each patient’s treatment tailored to the genetic flaw at the root of their cancer. This should kill the new tumours and prevent more from forming, greatly improving odds of survival. Cambridge University researcher Professor David Neal said some suitable drugs already exist, and that new ones are being developed all the time. However, he cautioned that it will be three to five years before the latest knowledge can be routinely put to use in the NHS. Lead study author Professor Ros Eeles, from the Institute of Cancer Research in London, said: ‘We gained a much broader view of prostate cancer by studying both the original cancer and the cells that had spread to other parts of the body. ‘We found that all of the cells that had broken free shared a common ancestor cell in the prostate. ‘The common faults we found in each man could potentially offer new targets for treatment.’ Co-author Dr Ultan McDermott, from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridgeshire, described the finding as a ‘potential Achilles’ heel’. Professor Peter Johnson, chief clinician at Cancer Research UK, said: ‘This research lets us look right into the molecular core of cancer.’ Samples were taken from tumours in the prostate and around the body in ten men with the disease (pictured). Reading the DNA revealed details of how the cancer metastasises - or spreads - allowing scientists to understand how the disease changes over time .

Summary: British scientists say they have got to the 'root' of prostate cancer . Have exposed an Achilles' heel that could lead to better survival chances . Could mean that men get individualised treatments within a few years .


The moment a pregnant woman was fatally shot by two Idaho police officers has been revealed in surveillance footage. Jeanetta Riley, 35, a mother-of-three daughters was killed last July after she brandished a knife at two cops outside of a hospital in Sandpoint on the evening of July 8, 2014. The troubled Native American woman, who was addicted to meth and alcohol, had been taken to the hospital by her husband, 44-year-old Shane, following threats she made to kill herself, according to the Guardian. While parked outside of the emergency room of Bonner General Hospital, she pulled a knife from under the car seat featuring a three-and-a-half-inch blade, and was confronted by police before she was shot and killed. In the video, Jeanetta is heard in an exchange with officers as they repeatedly tell her to put the knife down but she refuses before a commotion is heard and they shoot her. Jeanetta Riley (pictured left with her husband Shane), 35, a mother-of-three daughters was killed last July after she brandished a knife at two cops outside of a hospital in Sandpoint on the evening of July 8, 2014 . She was taken to hospital by her husband, Shane, after he heard her fiddling with blades and talked about killing herself and stabbing people (Jeanetta pictured above with her daughters Dayna, top, Dolly, left, and Hannah, right) Officers Michael Valenzuela, 27 and Skyler Ziegler, 29 were cleared of any wrongdoing following the incident and the case was closed in November. In the footage, Valenzuela, Ziegler and a third officer, Garrett Johnson, 23 arrived at the scene where Jeanetta was sitting in the car holding the bottle of vodka and the knife. She then walked towards them with the knife at her side, according to the Guardian. In the footage, Ziegler is heard shouting 'walk over here' and 'show me your hands' before she responds 'f*** you. no.' She is told again to put down the knife and continues to refuse and shouts 'bring it on, no.' Jeanetta then steps off the curb and into the road towards the two officers when gun fired is heard, with three bullets striking her torso and one striking her heart. Jeanetta took the knife from under the car seat and was confronted by officers who repeatedly told her to put the knife down but she refused (above scenes from the incident) After she stepped off the curb and walked towards them, they fired their guns and she was killed (above the moment she was shot) The events leading to the incident unfolded when the couple, who was homeless and living out of a 1996 Chevrolet van parked next to a lake, had spent the day with Jeanetta's daughter, 13-year-old Hannah. Jeanetta and Shane had arguments earlier in the day that were escalating when she began mentioning harming herself. The pair dropped Hannah off at her stepfather's house, and after drinking half a bottle of vodka while back at their camp, Jeanetta spoke about killing herself and stabbing people, Shane said. When he heard her fiddling with

He's protected Russell Crowe, Naomi Campbell and Aerosmith rocker Steve Tyler, and now Cengiz Guven is protecting Australian travellers at Gallipoli. Mr Guven is the supervisor of site security at Lone Pine, the hilltop battlefield cemetery that will host the second Australian dawn service on Anzac Day. And while there have been questions about security at Gallipoli following recent terror arrests in Australia and ongoing instability in Syria, Mr Guven is quietly confident. 'The army is here, we are here. It will be okay,' he said. Cengiz Güven (left) with actor Russell Crowe in Istanbul during the premiere of Crowe's film The Water Divider . The 30-year-old security guard pictured with Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler . The 30-year-old security manager from Istanbul has been taking care of things at Lone Pine for the past four years, but in between Anzac Days his work has a superstar flavour. When Crowe attended the Istanbul premiere of his latest film, The Water Diviner, in 2014, Mr Guven was on personal protection duty. He kept Tyler safe when the frontman and his band were in town to perform and has been on duty for Campbell, American lifestyle icon Martha Stewart and electro-dance group The Prodigy. Switching from one-on-one to protecting thousands doesn't faze Mr Guven, even when the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings has made this year the busiest ever for him and his team from Turkish security firm VipSec.
