Nick Clegg's arch-rival for the leadership of the Liberal Democrats was at the centre of a bitter row last night over the death of one of the party's councillors. Tim Farron was accused by the dead man's widow of 'betrayal' after an inquest found that Jo Stephenson jumped from the roof of his house while suffering 'intense stress'. Mr Stephenson, deputy leader of Cumbria County Council, fell from the three-storey property in Windermere after being vilified over new parking charges in Mr Farron's Westmorland and Lonsdale constituency. Now Mr Stephenson’s widow Hilary has angrily accused Mr Farron – a former party president dubbed ‘Saint Tim’ because of his religious beliefs – of reneging on a deal to support her late husband over the policy. Tim Farron (left) was accused by Jo Stephenson's (centre) widow Hilary (right) of 'betrayal' after an inquest found that he jumped from the roof of his house while suffering 'intense stress' Mr Stephenson initially survived his fall and was coherent enough to tell the paramedics that he had intended to kill himself. He died of his injuries three weeks later. The shocking sequence of events unfolded after Mr Stephenson led controversial Lib Dem plans to boost the council's income by ending free street parking in Cumbria. Local sources claim that Mr Farron – favourite to replace Mr Clegg if the party flops in the Election – promised to support the charges in return for the exemption of Liberal Democrat-dominated parts of the county. But, according to Mrs Stephenson, when the plan provoked a furious backlash from local residents, Mr Farron stayed quiet as 59-year-old Mr Stephenson was bombarded with aggressive messages on Facebook and Twitter. 'They'd negotiated a deal but Tim reneged on it and shoved Jo into the forefront to take the wrath,' she told The Mail on Sunday. 'Jo would just say, 'it's not what gentlemen do, is it?' But it is what politicians do. I don't know the details of it [the deal]. I just know Farron reneged on it and it left Jo in a very uncomfortable position. He felt betrayed. 'When I found out that Tim Farron happened to be on holiday on the date of Jo's funeral, I was very pleased. Would I have barred him? Let's just say I was very happy that the date coincided with his holiday.' Kendal coroner's court heard last month that in the run-up to the day on which he jumped off his roof, Mr Stephenson had been under 'considerable political pressure', and 'preoccupied by a culmination of matters'.

Michael Scott Shemansky is on the run after authorities named him as a suspect in the murder of his mother . A Florida man wanted as a suspect in the murder of his own mother has been on the run from police since Saturday. Police say Michael Scott Shemansky came to their attention after he failed to appear for a supervised visit with his son on the same day mother Sandra Shemansky, 57, was found dead at the home they shared in Winter Garden. The body was discovered at the West Colonial Drive home when an out-of-state family member called in a well-being check. WKMG reports that an initial investigation determined there was foul play. 'My biggest concern is that he might come back,' said neighbor Natalie Randall, a resident of the Winter Garden RV Resort. An attorney for his estranged wife confirmed Shemansky's failure to appear for the scheduled visit. He is already on parole for battery on law enforcement, has a history of bipolar mental illness, and was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric ward for an attempted suicide. His mother was there to help him as he went through a divorce. His wife filed a domestic violence injunction against him two years ago, according to her attorney, Diana Knowles Dunlop. Neighbors said his mother may have been the one preventing him from making the meeting with his son. Neighbors at the Winter Garden RV Resort believe divorce proceedings may have pushed Shemansky over the edge . 'His mom wouldn't allow him to go,' Nathan Tanner told reporters. 'She said because she didn't want him to have no more trouble through the courts.' Tanner added the stress of the divorce proceedings may have pushed him over the edge. 'And he got some paperwork Friday that was, I guess, bad news and I guess that triggered him,' Tanner told WFTV. Authorities have the murder weapon, still not publicly identified, but will not yet confirm how Sandra Shemansky was killed, according to information given to local press by Police Lt. Scott Allen. He allegedly was seen going into the trailer park's office and asking for a glass of water shortly after the murder. Shemansky was last seen fleeing on foot without any sort of provisions and no medication. His estranged wife is reportedly preparing to protect himself on the chance he arrives at her home. Anyone with information as to his whereabouts is urged to contact authorities at 407-656-3636.

Although invisibility suits and hover cars are yet to become a reality, it turns out we might be closer to the future than we think. Austrian designers, Maya Pindeus, 24, and Johanna Pichlbauer, 25, have created a robot that takes the effort out of applying make-up - by doing it for you. The device applies eyeliner with a long black brush, while an attachment smears lipstick on lips, before lighting up when the process is complete. Scroll down for video . There's clearly still a few precision kinks with the Beautification machine created by Austrian designers Maya Pindeus and Johanna Pichlbauer . A visitor lets the machine apply her red lipstick thanks to a crank which creates a circular rotation . The robot made its debut at the exhibition, Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Etienne 2015, in France, and gallery visitors were in for a treat. The machine is composed of three components: a lipstick wheel, an eyeliner applicator, and a mask which illuminates when the 'beautification' was complete. Women were then filmed testing the machine for the two University of Vienna students' art project entitled Beautification. When creating a device for such a personal ritual as applying make-up, anyone would think that the robots would favour precision and speed, but this was - hilariously- not the case. The beginning of the video shows the designers setting up and creating the machine's frame which includes two magnified mirrors. Each device is fitted with chin rests in order to let the user know where to position their faces. Another girl has felt the wrath of the machine, which has dealt her face many random strokes of eyeliner . A gallery visitor rests her head on the chin rest, expecting eyeliner to be expertly applied . The eyeliner is fixed to a robotic arm, which moves the brush in a movement intended to mimic that of a hand, against the backdrop of a mirror with the motto, 'with determined brush strokes the cosmetic ritual takes its course' inscribed into the glass. The lipstick wand is secured to a crank which rotates in small circles. Once each area has been completed, a mask threaded with LEDs lights up in the corresponding part of the female face. The video shows how it's only when visitors begin trying out the make-up robot that they realise precision is not the machine's greatest attribute. Each woman rests their chin on the chin-rest and the eyeliner brush is seen swiping wildly, leaving them with smears of kohl on their foreheads, eyelids and along the bridge of their nose. At one point the robot actually smears the eyeliner directly into a unsuspecting girl's eye. The lipstick robot is slightly more successful than the eyeliner robot, as the user can control how much lipstick is applied . Next a woman trials the lipstick wand but the speedy circular rotation of the lipstick isn't well aligned to the natural shape of a pair of lips. The user is left with a circular smudge over her lips and chin. But Pindeus and Pichlbauer say the robots

'It's three on the bounce we've lost now, which is bad, but hopefully we can improve on that next week against West Ham. 'On an individual level it's great, but on a team performance it was ok and there's a lot that we can improve on for next week.' Adam (second left) admitted he had mixed emotions after scoring the goal but losing the game . Stoke manager Mark Hughes has seen his side lose in their last three Premier League encounters .

Manuel Pellegrini has insisted he is not impressed by United's rise up the table. Asked for his thoughts about his team's great rivals surging past them in the Barclays Premier League, the Manchester City boss said: 'Not impressed, no, because I think Louis van Gaal has a career as a manager where his teams are always offensive teams, teams that win titles everywhere. 'United bought a lot of very good players such as Angel di Maria, Radamel Falcao, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Daley Blind. Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says he is not impressed by Manchester United's rise up the table .

Pellegrini feels that Juan Mata (left) and Ander Herrera are top players and central to United's run of form . Pellegrini has also singled out United's Dutch defender Daley Blind (right) as a key part of United's team . 'For me, the strange thing was why they didn't do it before, earlier in the season. 'But it's not a surprise how they are playing in this moment.' City have lost five of their last seven games in all competitions and have not won away since mid-February. That run has seen them slide off Chelsea's shoulder at the top of the league and down to fourth place. Pellegrini reiterated his stance that he is not fearful about losing his job but admitted his team have extra motivation ahead of Sunday's game. 'I think the first motivation is always to win,' he said. 'Being a derby against a team like United that dominated the league for so many years, it's more. 'At one time Sir Alex Ferguson said the neighbours were disturbing them a little bit more, so I say that's double motivation for us.' Crystal Palace forward Glenn Murray (bottom left) celebrates scoring his side's opening goal against City . Jason Puncheon scores a stunning free-kick for Palace as they inflict a 2-1 defeat on Pellegrini's men .

There is an old wives' tale that says the best way to tackle red wine stains on carpets and clothes is to cover them in white wine. And while alcohol is the key to removing a spilled glass, the solution doesn't lie in a glass of Pino Grigio. In a video, a scientist has revealed how gin and vodka dilute red wine stains, why vinegar is so good at removing mineral deposits on glass, and how spit tackles stubborn food stains in your kitchen. Scroll down for video . Red wine is red because of pigments known as anthocyanins, which are alcohol soluble. When higher concentrations of clear alcohol, such as gin, vodka or white rum, are poured onto the stain, the colours dissolve into the liquid rather than drying into the carpet. These can then be soaked up using a paper towel . The video was created by the Washington-based American Chemical Society (ACS) as part of its Reactions series. It covers three household cleaning 'hacks' for windows, carpets and counter tops. The first reveals an alternative to window cleaner is to add two cups of water and a quarter cup of 70 per cent rubbing alcohol to an empty spray bottle. As the video explained: 'Vinegar is a fantastic cleaner and the secret to its cleaning capacity is acetic acid.' Gin: Pour gin, or another high-proof clear liquor, onto a red wine stain and soak it up with a cloth. Spit: Your own spit can be used to lift food stains from counter tops or hard surfaces. Bananas: Wipe the inside of the banana skin on the spot of leather that needs to be cleaned. When finished, rub with a damp cloth. Cola: Pour into the toilet bowl and leave to sit for an hour to allow the acid to take effect. Clean the inside of the bowl with a toilet brush and flush away. Vinegar also works. Tomato ketchup: Good for cleaning brass, copper and silver elements. Rub onto the area that needs cleaning, leave to work and wipe with a moist cloth. Mayonnaise: Ideal for removing marks on wood. Use a cloth with a small amount of mayonnaise and wipe the mark that needs to be removed. Leave the oils to work and wipe away any residue with a clean cloth. Brazil nuts: Also effective on wood surfaces. Cut a nut in half and rub vigorously over any scratches. Potatoes: Cut the potato in half and dip the side without peel into baking soda. When covered, firmly rub the potato on rusted areas. Grapefruit: Remove limescale by cutting the grapefruit in half and sprinkling one half with salt. Scrub the area and rinse with water. Coffee: Place dry ground coffee into an old margarine tub with holes in the lid. Place in the fridge and leave to eliminate odour. Acetic acid sits at a 2.4 on the pH scale making it very acidic. Because of this acidity, vinegar ‘eats away’ at mineral deposits on windows including moisture and dust, while the rubbing alcohol absorbs greasy dirt like fingerprints.

Summary: The video was created by Washington-based American Chemical Society . It reveals three 'hacks' to tackle stains on windows, carpets and counters . And shows the science behind why gin removes red wine stains and why spit removes food stains on hard surfaces .

England could have a separate income tax rate to Scotland under radical new reforms which will be introduced within 100 days of a Tory election victory, David Cameron announced today. The Prime Minister pledged to deliver effective ‘home rule’ for England - giving MPs the same powers to set tax rates which have been agreed for Scotland following last year's independent referendum. Mr Cameron said in the interests of fairness English MPs must be given a veto on legislation that no longer applies in Scotland. Scroll down for video . High on the list: David Cameron and William Hague will today pledge that delivering effective ‘home rule’ for England will be one of their party’s top priorities if re-elected . Under Mr Cameron's plan English, Welsh and Northern Irish MPs being able to set a separate rate of income tax to that in Scotland with MPs north of the border having no say . Mr Cameron said a Conservative government would have the new system in place in time for the first budget of the new parliament in March 2016. It will mean English, Welsh and Northern Irish MPs being able to set a separate rate of income tax to that in Scotland – where the SNP is expected to hold sway after the election – with MPs north of the border having no say. If Wales votes in favour of the Welsh Assembly having income tax powers like those being devolved to Holyrood in a proposed referendum, Welsh MPs would also be excluded. The plan will involve reforming Parliament’s committee stage, where MPs discuss legislation in detail. No Bill or part of a Bill relating only to England would be able to pass to its third reading and become law without being approved in a ‘grand committee’ made up of all English MPs. The plan is likely to trigger a row with Labour, which opposes the idea of an English veto. Mr Cameron helps build an industrial fan during a campaign visit in Colchester in Essex this afternoon . The Prime Minister's visit came as he courted English voters with an election pledge to create a separate rate of income tax for England . The party has traditionally relied on the votes of its army of Scottish MPs at Westminster, which it used to implement tuition fees and foundation hospitals even though they did not apply in Scotland. Labour’s leader in Scotland Jim Murphy yesterday claimed Mr Cameron was ‘cheap’, ‘nasty’ and an ‘election agent’ for the SNP in Scotland. ‘He has given up on the Scottish Tory party and is throwing his lot in with the SNP. David Cameron is the agent and the campaign manager for the SNP,’ Mr Murphy said. But Mr Cameron, speaking Lincoln, said: ‘We do not support English nationalists, we do not want an English Parliament, we are the Conservative and Unionist Party through and through. ‘This manifesto simply recognises that the democratic picture has got more complicated in the UK, so beyond our main manifesto, English voters deserve one document, clarifying in black and

Summary: The Tories publish a separate 'English manifesto' for the first time . Mr Cameron said delivering 'home rule' for England is a top priority . Tory government will introduce the new system before March 2016 budget . It will allow English MPsto set separate rate of income tax to Scotland .


Notorious mass murderer Peter Sutcliffe, who has spent three decades in jail, is to be moved to a cushy low security unit, it has been claimed . The families of victims of Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe are furious at plans to move him from Broadmoor to a low-security Priory unit. Mass murderer Sutcliffe has spent more than three decades in Broadmoor for the savage killings of 13 women. But now, despite being one of the country’s most notorious serial killers, Sutcliffe may be moved to a cushy Priory unit set in Berkshire woodland. Sutcliffe is being lined up for the move after he expressed remorse and said he no longer hears the 'voices from God' which he had blamed for his killing spree at his 1981 trial. A report is being compiled which will be heard next month at a prison tribunal which will rule if the move goes ahead. But families of his victims are furious about the move. Neil Jackson, whose mother Emily, 46, became the Ripper's second victim in 1976, told the Sun: 'He should not be moved at all. 'As he's in Broadmoor, he should stay there and they should throw away the key. This just rubs salt into the wounds of families and I believe any remorse he has shown is fake.' A source at the prison told the newspaper Sutcliffe was optimistic about the move - despite being previously turned down for a transfer to the unit which boasts facilities such as a fully-fitted gym and music room. Plans of his referral follow allegations earlier this year that Sutcliffe, who used weapons including a hammer, screwdriver and knives to mutilate women across the north of England, was enjoying an easy lifestyle in jail. Scroll down for video . Potential plans to move Britain's most notorious mass murderer from the high security Broadmoor prison hospital to the Priory . Hospital: Broadmoor's corridors look ordinary, but it houses some of Britain's most disturbed individuals . He was said to be eating chocolate, watching television and listening to music, as well as being privileged to receive visitors four days a week who can stay for up to four hours. It was claimed he is also given money to spend in the psychiatric hospital’s shop, and attends a ceramics workshop and twice-weekly Bible studies sessions. It has been claimed that Sutcliffe is now a Jehovah’s Witness and was even given a baptism. In the evenings, he watches TV shows such as The X Factor and I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, the Sun on Sunday reported. A new image of a relaxed-looking Sutcliffe – the first for 20 years – supports the cushy lifestyle claim. There has been little change to his distinctive appearance apart from an increase in weight and the greying of his hair and beard. He had ballooned with some reports estimating his weight at 19 or 20 stone, which is said to be down to a love of chocolate and burgers, and now sufferers from type 2 diabetes. Sutcliffe is currently said to enjoy

Sergey Bubka, Sebastian Coe's rival for IAAF president, launched his election manifesto on Wednesday with a promise to take a hardline approach to doping. The Ukrainian pole vault great is battling with fellow IAAF vice-president Coe for the top job at athletics' world governing body. The sport has been rocked by allegations that doping and cover-ups are rife in Russian athletics. Sergey Bubka launched his election manifesto on Wednesday with a promise to crack down on doping . Bubka is Sebastian Coe's rival for IAAF president, the top job at athletics' world governing body . Bubka launched his manifesto, entitled 'Taking Athletics to New Heights' in an internet broadcast and presented his plans for the future of the sport. Speaking on Wednesday, the 51-year-old said: 'We need to show clear zero tolerance for doping.' Bubka said there was 'no acceptance for cheaters', adding: 'We must protect clean sport, clear athletics.' Bubka also called for a 'very deep study' to look at the possibility of imposing sanctions on national federations who have a high number of doping cases, given the associated legal complications. 'You would like to do many more sanctions, you would like to do more punishment, but to combine it legally it's always created an issue,' he said. Bubka launched his manifesto, entitled 'Taking Athletics to New Heights' in an internet broadcast . 'We need to study legally how we can strengthen our position, in which way we can put sanctions, if we need to put sanctions on the national federation which violates, I believe this issue needs to have very deep study.' He emphasised the need to hold members of an athlete's entourage, like coaches and doctors, to account in doping cases, the importance of education in the fight against doping and collaboration with the World Anti-Doping Agency and national federations. In his manifesto, Bubka also stressed the importance of engaging with a younger audience and attracting younger participants and of helping to strengthen national associations. An Anti-Doping test is taken during the European Athletics Championship in Zurich in August last year . 'Strong national associations mean a strong IAAF,' he said. He outlined his plans for an extensive review of the sport called Vision 2025. 'Vision 2025 aims to identify and examine every significant element of our sport and determine how it can be improved to ensure we are in the best possible shape for the future,' he added. The vote to decide whether Coe or Bubka will succeed Lamine Diack takes place in Beijing in August . Bubka said, if elected, he would create the new position of chief executive, set up a business commission and look to attract new global sponsors. 'The IAAF is a global brand and we must generate greater commercial revenue,' he said. The vote to decide who will succeed the long-standing IAAF president Lamine Diack will take place at the IAAF Congress in Beijing in August.

Summary: Sergey Bubka launched a manifesto ahead of running to be IAAF president . He is Sebastian Coe's rival for the position in August's election . Bubka promised crackdown on doping and review of athletics as a whole .

The former Chelsea forward thanked Wolfsburg supporters for their patience and admitted not scoring for the German side was 'eating away' at him. The 24-year-old scored his first since joining from Chelsea in February as they beat Stuttgart 3-1. Andre Schurrle admits he was relieved to end his goal drought by scoring his first goal for Wolfsburg . The former Chelsea forward thanked Wolfsburg supporters for their patience as he netted on Saturday . 'It was about time I scored. I've missed a lot of chances here and I'm just happy to have hit the target now,' Schurrle said. 'I have to admit that the fact I hadn't scored for such a long time had been eating away at me a bit, so I'm very happy but the most important thing is that we won three points. 'I'd like to say a big thank you to all the fans here to receiving me so well and supporting me. I'm happy to be here and I'm sure we'll have a lot more to celebrate in the future.' Wolfsburg are seven points clear of Borussia Monchengladbach after Saturday's win, and Schurrle admits it was a difficult game to overcome. The 24-year-old scored his first since joining from Chelsea in February as they beat Stuttgart 3-1 . Former Chelsea forward Schurrle admitted not scoring for the German side was 'eating away' at him . 'We were expecting a difficult game because Stuttgart have good individual players and they're a good team,' he added. 'It's tough against them because they throw everything at you and they really need the points. We were a bit shaky at the back, especially defending crosses - that's how we conceded - but then I think our quality shone through in the second half. 'We put them under pressure and created chances, so I think we deserved to win.'

Jockey Andrea Atzeni has an early chance to promote the Classic claims of a contender owned by his new Qatar Racing bosses when he partners Terror in Wednesday’s Landwades Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket. The 1,000 Guineas hope, trained by David Simcock, is one of six out of the nine entries to hold an engagement in the Guineas. Terror finished fourth place in the Group One Cheveley Park Stakes over six furlongs at the Rowley Mile last September prior to her landing a Listed event there five weeks later. Jockey Andrea Atzeni will ride Terror in Wednesday’s Landwades Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket . Simcock said: ‘Terror has had a trouble-free preparation and done well physically over the winter, her recent work has been solid. She is not a bad filly – she would have to be good to finish fourth in the Cheveley Park on only her second start – and she has done nothing wrong. ‘Although she is quite clean-winded it is difficult to know where you stand fitness-wise until you get her into a race scenario. Trainer Richard Hannon is represented by Osaila and Marsh Hawk in the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket . ‘She might prefer a bit of dig in the ground but she has already proved that she handles fast ground, and I don’t think that this step up to seven furlongs will be a problem for her.’ Other Nell Gwyn entries include two fillies from the Richard Hannon – Osaila, winner of the Group Three Princess Margaret Stakes winner, and Marsh Hawk, who has not run since finishing fourth in the Group One Dubai Fillies’ Mile in October. John Gosden’s Faydhan is the key horse entered in Wednesday’s Free Handicap. John Gosden is represented by Faydhan in Wednesday's Free Handicap at Newmarket .

Smoke billows from David Jenkins' single-engine Edge 360 plane above Old Buckenham Airfield near Attleborough, Norfolk. The man in his 50s tragically died when it crashed just 50 metres from a group of people who were at a press day for the air show. A friend who wished to stay anonymous said: 'He was the best bloke I knew. He was highly skilled and knew exactly what he was doing.'

On the eve of the County Championship season, Charlie Hemphrey has finally secured the professional cricket contract he has been striving for over the past decade. Only it is not with one of the 18 teams that make up our domestic game. For Hemphrey, a 25-year-old former Folkestone grammar school pupil who suffered habitual rejection in his attempts to breakthrough into the English system, has an amazing story to tell, after forging an unlikely first-class career in Australia. It has been an extraordinary journey for Hemphrey from a second XI debut for Kent at 15 to his recent status as the first Englishman to hit a Sheffield Shield hundred since John Hampshire for Tasmania in 1978. That feat was accomplished in Queensland's final match of the 2014-15 season, a victory over South Australia at the Gabba. Charlie Hemphrey during his Kent career (left) and as a youngster for Notts under 11s where he scored his first hundred (right) When he emigrated to Brisbane 18 months ago, he admits his desire for a shot at the top level had regressed into an 'unrealistic dream'. That it became a reality was due to polar opposite experiences to the ones he endured over here. Every time he was faced with a door it opened whereas previously they had slammed in his face. Kent, Derbyshire and Essex all knocked him back. A stunning first season down under – in which he finished third top scorer in Queensland's grade competition – was followed by a state second XI debut last October. The following month he struck 140 out of 297 all out in the first innings of a game against New South Wales. It put him in the frame for higher honours when the Shield season reopened post-Big Bash and a new year injury to Australia batsman Usman Khawaja gave him his chance. On February 7 he pulled on the maroon cap for the first time. James Pattinson dismissed him for a second-ball duck but Queensland – showing numerous changes in the wake of Stuart Law's removal as coach – crushed eventual champions Victoria by an innings. The following week Hemphrey hit 58 and Tasmania were defeated in Hobart by a similar scoreline. Two matches, two victories; the Pom had hit the jackpot. Queensland were not going to change a winning side and that very fact secured his future. Matches 5 . Innings 8 . Not Outs 0 . Runs 310 . Highest Innings Score 118 . Batting Average 38.75 . Balls Faced 809 . Batting Strike Rate 38.31 . 100s 1 . 50s 1 . 4s 37 . 6s 0 . 'The system over here guarantees you a minimum contract if you play three state games,' Hemphrey explained to Sportsmail. 'Cricket Australia upgrade you to a 12-month deal which is about $60,000 (£30,000), so after three games I told work I was leaving. I knew I was going to be paid well and the match payments on top are good at just over $4,500 (£2300).' Hemphrey immediately gave up his early morning job for Virgin at

Summary: Charlie Hemphrey fulfilled an 'unrealistic dream' to become a first-class cricketer . The 25-year-old was rejected consistently by teams in the English system . Hemphrey enjoyed a successful first season in Australia with Queensland . He is the first Englishman to hit a Sheffield Shield hundred since 1978 . The ex-Folkestone grammar school pupil didn't rule out a return to England .


A mysterious benefactor has donated £1.5million to Bath Abbey which was posted to church in a plain brown envelope. The donor, who is known to church officials but has asked not to be named, sent the money along with a note, saying they wanted to help safeguard the church 'for the next hundred years'. The cash will be put towards the Abbey's restoration fund, which is aiming to raise £20million to repair the collapsing floor, fit heating powered by the Bath springs, and expand the building. A mysterious benefactor posted the plain brown envelope to officials at Bath Abbey, pledging £1.5million to the church's £20million restoration fund . Laura Brown, who is heading up the Footprint restoration project, said she had to read the letter twice before she could believe it was real, adding that she had to have a 'sit down' afterwards . The donation was accompanied by a note, which reads: 'Much impressed by the care and the consultation with has been put in by the Abbey, which is such a vital part of Bath’s future. 'This generation has a solemn duty to ensure the Abbey is fit and able to carry out its service to the city and the community for the next hundred years.' The church has been granted £10.4million of Heritage Lottery Funding, but only provided they can raise the additional £7.1million themselves by the end of the year. Before the mysterious benefactor came forward, the largest single donation the church had received was £1.1million from the congregation and charity Friends of Bath Abbey. The Footprint project was granted £10.4million of Heritage Lottery funding to repair the floor, and expand the building, but only if the church can raise the remaining £7.1million by the end of the year . The church congregation, and charity Friends of Batch Abbey, donated £1.1million to the project, but the anonymous donor topped that, with their gift of £1.5million . Laura Brown, 48, who is heading up the Footprint project, told MailOnline: 'We received it in the post, just like any normal letter, and it was in a plain brown envelope just like any normal letter. 'Your first thought is "no, hang on, that can't be right" but then you read it again and realise, this is actually happening. I had to have a sit down for a while. 'Of course there is gratitude, but there's also this glow you get. The team believe in this project so much and it feels so good to see that someone else sees the same thing. 'Not only that but that person has the resources to be able to really make something happen, and hopefully inspire other people as well.' She added that the church still needs to raise £4.1million in the next eight months, but that cash donations have already started arriving, and more people are also pledging money. Part of the Bath Abbey rennovations will see it fitted with an eco-friendly underfloor heating system which uses water from the River Avon, warmed by the town's springs . Speaking after the first £1.1million was

A health expert has slammed parents for not taking vaccination seriously after 19 children attending a primary school in north Brisbane contracted the potentially deadly disease whooping cough. Kilcoy State School is working with Queensland Health after a whooping cough outbreak in the area, but parents have been urged to take vaccination more seriously there. The Sunshine Coast Daily reports that infectious diseases expert Professor Matthew Cooper, a professorial research fellow at the University of Queensland's Institute for Molecular Bioscience, attributed the outbreak to an anti-vaccination trend. Parents have been accused of not taking vaccination seriously after 19 children attending a primary school in north Brisbane contracted whooping cough . 'It's unfortunately just part of a growing trend that many people have decided not to immunise,' he said. 'We've seen this with other diseases that are more serious than pertussis but unfortunately the more people who choose not to immunise the more likely it is we'll get outbreaks.' Although immunisation rates in Queensland have dropped across most age groups there since 2010, in 2014 the Metro North region had the highest immunisation rate in the state. Kilcoy State School (pictured) in north Brisbane is working with Queensland Health after a whooping cough outbreak in the area . There are about 1200 cases of whooping cough every year in the Metro North area. This region covers the Brisbane River to past Caboolture. in total there have been 86 confirmed cases in 2015 - alarmingly 16 in the past week - compared to 113 last year. Statewide, 232 cases have been reported. Parents were urged to take children with any symptoms to their family doctor . Dr Cooper said it was essential to convince parents of the importance of vaccination. He said if vaccination rates continued to fall there could be an increase in unfortunate and preventable deaths. Parents were urged parents to take children with any symptoms to their family doctor, and for children who tested positive to stay away from school for five days.

This is the moment an 11-year-old boy became stuck in knee-deep mud and had to be rescued by a hovercraft. The child was on holiday in Burnham-on-Sea with his family from Manchester when he walked across the mudflats on Wednesday. Seemingly unaware of the low tide, he quickly became stuck and had to be pulled to safety by the coastguard in its hovercraft. He was unhurt in the incident, and was seen leaving the beach smiling. Scroll down for video . An 11-year-old boy had to be pulled to safety after becoming stuck in knee-deep mud on in Burnham-on-Sea . The coastguard used a hovercraft to reach the boy, with two members of its mud rescue team enlisted to pull him out to safety . The 11-year-old was returned to safety shortly afterwards. His relieved family were visiting from Manchester . At around 3.30pm yesterday the coastguard was called to Brean Beach after reports of the boy becoming stuck. Emergency services used a hovercraft to bring him back to the beach unharmed. 'The boy had been wading out across the mudflats at low tide and unfortunately got into difficulty in thick mud in that part of the beach,' said Mark Newman, Chairman of BARB Search and Rescue. 'Many people have been stuck there, it's well known to be a dangerous spot.' The beach warden noticed the boy standing in the flats as he tried to reach the sea and alerted the coastguard. 'We were called in our hovercraft, we got to the scene very quickly and flew down the beach around 600m to the boy. The boy was flown back to hard sand and was not harmed in the incident at around 3.30pm yesterday afternoon . The boys' worried family watch on as the hovercraft reaches him. The stretch of coast is particularly dangerous, said experts . 'Two members of the Coastguard mud rescue team safely rescued him, taking him on board. 'Together they flew back down the beach to his very relieved parents. 'He wasn't worse for wear but obviously it is frightening when you do get into difficulty in the mud, that's why we always advise people to keep to the hard sand and watch the tide times.' The stretch is one of the most dangerous parts of the coast, Mr Newman added. 'The tide was just starting to come in which was another reason. You can find yourself in difficulty very quickly, the tide comes in very quickly.' It was the second time in a week the team had to use the hovercraft to rescue a youngster. On Easter Sunday a 15-year-old girl was flown away from Berrow in an incident that was 'very similar', Mr Newman added. BBV-6 The Spirit Of Lelaina is named after Lelaina Hall, a five-year-old who died in 2002 after becoming stuck in mudflats. Her death sparked a campaign to raise enough money to build a hovercraft to save people who find themselves in danger in the area. It was launched the following year in her memory.

Summary: The youngster was wading in the mudflats at Burnham-on-Sea yesterday . He found himself in trouble at 3.30pm when the tide started coming in . The beach warden alerted the coastguard which arrived in a hovercraft . He was flown to safety and returned to his relieved parents unharmed .


A neo-Nazi charged with killing a gay supervisor at a community college said he did so because he hates homosexuality. Stancil, who gave himself fascist face tattoos, is awaiting extradition from Florida to North Carolina, where he is accused of fatally shooting 44-year-old Ron Lane. Kenneth Morgan Stancil III, 20, told Raleigh's WRAL-TV on Wednesday that he killed Lane earlier this week in North Carolina because Lane had made sexual advances to Stancil's 16-year-old brother. Scroll down for video . Kenneth Morgan Stancil III, 20, claimed in a prison interview on Wednesday that he had killed a gay college supervisor because he made sexual advances towards his teenage brother . In a telephone interview from a Daytona Beach jail, Stancil said Lane tried to take advantage of his brother. 'He ain't physically touched him, but he was in the proposal to try to and I wasn't going to let that happen,' Stancil said. Stancil said Lane was looking for Stancil on Facebook and found his brother. A Goldsboro police spokesman did not immediately return a phone message on Thursday about that allegation. 'I'd do anything necessary to take care of my family,' Stancil said. He said he has no regrets about the shooting. 'I did what I did, and I've got to live with it. If I get life, I just get life. 'I'm a murderer, you know, what the hell do I got to care? 'I don't give a damn if I go back to society.' Stancil, shot dead his former work-study supervisor Ron Lane (pictured) and claimed to have killed three others - although police had no reports of unsolved homicides . Stancil said he is a neo-Nazi who is concerned about the future of white children. 'I try to look out for my fellow white people,' he said. 'I don't believe in race mixing.' He was asked if he hates gays. 'Yes, I do, with a passion,' he replied, though he said that was only one of the reasons he killed Lane, who had been his supervisor in a work study program at the college before he was fired for absenteeism. Stancil also told the television station he had killed three other people, including two in the Wayne County area. But the sheriff's department told the station it has no report of any unsolved homicides that match Stancil's account. The accused killer appeared in court in Florida on Tuesday where he admitted to the killing, WRAL reported, despite the judge advising him he could remain silent. He confessed to the shooting in an obscenity-laced statement, saying he 'ridded one last child molester from the Earth'. He said Lane, who had been his supervisor at the college's print shop until Stancil was fired last month, had been 'messing with' one of Stancil's family members. Lane was gay, and authorities said they are investigating a possible hate crime. They haven't released a motive for the shooting, but Stancil was dismissed from a work study program at the print shop last month. His mother, Debbie Stancil, said her son was angry over

Ronald Koeman held a meeting with Southampton's players to refocus their minds on European qualification after Victor Wanyama's future came under question. This weekend is arguably Saints' biggest match of their season, with former manager Mauricio Pochettino returning to St Mary's for the first time since leaving for Tottenham in the summer. Just a point and a place separate Koeman's men from Spurs in sixth, although this season's surprise success has brought with it speculation that players will exit much like last summer. Ronald Koeman held a meeting with Southampton's players to refocus their minds on European qualification . Victor Wanyama's future came under question after an interview where he seemed to hint at move to Arsenal . Morgan Schneiderlin, Nathaniel Clyne and Jay Rodriguez have all been linked with a move away, while Wanyama was quoted on Thursday claiming Arsenal were interested in his services. The Kenyan denied making those comments in subsequently deleted Twitter posts - an incident which proved the catalyst to Koeman sitting his squad down on Thursday morning. 'I spoke to Victor this morning,' Koeman said. 'We had a meeting with all the players because what we need is now to really have the focus on the last five games. We play for a European position on the table. 'We have a massive game this Saturday and no interest in talking about rumours in the press about future and contracts and have the focus on the football side. 'That's difficult but it's not true what they put in the press and I believe the player. Koeman spoke to Wanyama and his other players to refocus them on the last five Premier League games . Morgan Schneiderlin has been linked with moves to Arsenal and Tottenham in another Saints firesale . 'It's a good signal for everybody that we have to be focused to the football side and not about the contracts. I do not answer any more questions about player's contracts and the focus on the last five games.' Koeman called the Wanyama story 'bulls***' in a separate interview and the midfielder later posted on Twitter to clarify the situation. 'Sorry - was caught off guard this morning about a story that I hadn't read,' he said. 'To put it straight: We all respect Arsenal but right now I'm only focussed on helping Saints to have a strong finish to the season. Manchester United are said to be interested in signing Southampton's English right back Nathaniel Clyne . 'The newspaper article does not say that I have spoken to Wenger or anyone else from Arsenal - and that's the truth. 'We are doing so well and what other managers think of me as a player is totally out of my control.' Wanyama is one of a number of players to have spoken about their future in recent months, with such comments becoming increasingly regular as the season comes to a close. A week does not go by without Koeman having to field questions about the future of his players and that is something he says has to

Father Hamish Baillie (pictured) claims Lord Janner abused him during a game of hide-and-seek in 1983 . A father allegedly abused by Lord Janner has called for the top legal official who decided against prosecuting him to step down. Alison Saunders, Director of Public Prosecutions, concluded dementia made the 86-year-old unfit to plead. Last night, one of the nine victims who had been lined up to give evidence against the former Leicester West MP waived his right to anonymity to say the decision ‘beggars belief’ – and claimed it points to an establishment cover-up. Hamish Baillie, 47, said he was unable to trust adults after being molested by Lord Janner during a game of hide-and-seek in a park, when he was a 15-year-old resident of a children’s home. But he added that the failure to prosecute the peer for a fourth time – three inquiries were curtailed by police or the Crown Prosecution Service – was a ‘complete travesty’. The father-of-three said he turned to drugs as a result of the abuse, which left him ‘questioning myself and everyone around me’. He believes Lord Janner was ‘steered’ in his direction by the care home’s manager, Frank Beck – a friend who would later be convicted of a string of child sex offences. He added: ‘I don’t think anybody other than the victims and the police involved in the Operation Enamel inquiry understand how perverted a man Lord Janner is. 'He has blighted my life … How can they [the CPS] publicise the fact that there was enough evidence to charge, yet then say it is not in the public interest to pursue it?’ Mr Baillie, of Hinckley, Leicestershire, added: ‘No disrespect to the public, but what about the interest of the victims? ‘As far as I’m concerned, her [Mrs Saunders’s] actions are barely any less perverse than the abuse inflicted upon me as a teenager. She should initiate an inquiry into her own conduct and then step down because Alison Saunders certainly hasn’t been doing her job properly.’ Mr Baillie said the decision not to prosecute Lord Janner (left), who he claims abused him when he was aged 15, for the fourth time was a 'complete travesty'. Alison Saunders (right) said her job as head of the Crown Prosecution Service was to make the correct legal decisions in difficult cases, not the most popular ones . He said the police involved in the inquiry were ‘blameless’ but added that ‘when one considers this is the fourth time Janner has been investigated, I honestly think there could be a cover-up at play’. Operation Enamel was set up two years ago and 25 victims accused the Labour peer. Most lived in Leicestershire children’s homes between 1969 and 1988. The CPS last week said the ‘core allegation’ was that Lord Janner befriended Beck to access children ‘to allow him to perpetrate serious sexual offences’ on them. The politician was first implicated during the 1991 trial of Beck, who ran The Beeches children’s home in Leicester. A victim told the court Janner regularly abused him. Beck

Summary: Hamish Baillie says Lord Janner abused him during hide-and-seek in 1983 . Father-of-three, 47, was a 15-year-old resident of a children’s home at time . He says failure to prosecute the peer for a fourth time is ‘complete travesty’ CPS boss Alison Saunders said Janner was unfit to plead due to dementia .

The company made £501,319 profit in the year to last June, which will be split with his sister Charlotte, 53, and brother Laurence, 46. Adam Barker (left), pictured with parents Joy and Ronnie in 1997, will share more than £500,000 this year in royalties, according to new accounts . It also has assets of nearly £1.2million, the Daily Mirror reported. The previous year the company made around £300,000 and Barker would have similarly received a one-third share. The 47-year-old was first arrested in 2003 during a dawn raid on his house. 1,675 images and videos depicting child pornography were discovered by officers. He went on the run for eight years - during which time his mother and father both died - and was reportedly living in Hungary. At the time he left a note for his parents, which read: ‘Dear Mummy and Daddy. Some time ago the police came to my house looking for images of under-age children on my computer. I was arrested. ‘I must apologise for being foolish and thank you for being great parents. Rather than wait and find out what will happen, I will go away. You must understand that I won’t be able to contact you for quite some time.’ The 47-year-old served 13 weeks in prison after admitting to making indecent images of children in 2012 . He is an equal shareholder in Handles for Forks Ltd, which manages and distributes his father's work. Above, Ronnie Barker is pictured with Ronnie Corbett . The whereabouts of the part-time actor, who appeared in Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies, remained a mystery until he handed himself in to a police station in west London. He was jailed at lsleworth Crown Court in October 2012 for 12 months after admitting 20 counts of making indecent images of children, 17 of which were of pre-teen boys. Judge Rosa Dean, sentencing at the time, told him: ‘Your offences contributed to the degradation and continued abuse of children.’ But he served only 12 weeks because he had already spent three months on remand.

Summary: Adam Barker is an equal shareholder in Handles for Forks Ltd . The company made £501,319 in profit in the year to last June . 47-year-old was jailed for making indecent images of children in 2012 .


The Large Hadron Collider was restarted today after being turned off for two years during a major renovation project that cost £100million. The world's largest atom-smashing machine is most famous for proving the existence of the Higgs boson - but scientists hope it will now unlock even more fundamental secrets of the universe. Physicists at Cern, the Geneva-based organisation which runs the LHC, are aiming to see dark matter for the first time ever thanks to the device's upgrade. Scroll down for video . Back to work: The Large Hadron Collider is operating again after two years being upgraded . The LHC is situated underground below the border between Switzerland and France, and consists of nearly 17 miles of circular tunnels. It was shut down two years ago - after confirming the discovery of the Higgs boson - so that its energy levels could be almost doubled, allowing scientists to carry out more extreme experiments. The re-opening was delayed by another couple of weeks thanks to a short circuit in the system, but this morning it started operating again at last. After two beams of particles were sent flying through the tunnels at a speed just slower than light, Cern's director general Rolf Heuer said: 'Congratulations. Thank you very much everyone... now the hard work starts.' Workers - who were earlier given Easter eggs by one of the centre's bosses - cheered when it was confirmed that the machine was back in operation. Ambition: Scientists hope the machine will be able to detect and describe dark matter for the first time . The LHC, which cost nearly £4billion, is currently running at a low 'injection' energy of 450 giga-electron volts (GeV), but in June it will increase to a record-breaking 13 tera-electron volts (TeV) - up from 7 TeV at the time it managed to detect the Higgs boson in 2013. British scientist Peter Higgs was awarded the Nobel Prize after the discovery of the particle, which he and others predicted would exist but which had never been seen until the construction of the LHC. When physicists study the dynamics of galaxies and the movement of stars, they are confronted with a mystery. If they only take visible matter into account, their equations simply don't add up; the elements that can be observed are not sufficient to explain the rotation of objects and the existing gravitational forces. There is something missing. From this they deduced that there must be an invisible kind of matter that does not interact with light but does, as a whole, interact by means of the gravitational force. Called 'dark matter', this substance appears to make up at least 80 per cent of the matter in the known universe. Now the physicists operating the machine have their sights on dark matter, the invisible, undetectable material that makes up 84 per cent of matter in the universe and binds galaxies together yet whose nature is unknown. If they are able to detect and describe dark matter, it will mark a huge leap forward in our understanding of the universe.

Summary: The Large Hadron Collider has spent the past two years being upgraded . It started operation again today and will soon have nearly twice as much energy as it used to . The restart was delayed for nearly two weeks by a short circuit . Scientists hope to unravel the mysteries of dark matter, which makes up 84% of the universe but has never been detected before .


Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has revealed how rejection as a young player has inspired him to give the likes of Raheem Sterling and Jordon Ibe their break in the first team. Rodgers failed to make it as a professional footballer despite leaving Northern Ireland for England at the age of 16 and training with the Reading youth team. The Reds manager believes the memory of missing out on a first team spot despite being promised one has helped him to handle Liverpool's young players. Brendan Rodgers takes positives from his experience of not making it as a professional footballer . 20-year-old star Raheem Sterling (left) has flourished under the guidance of Rodgers . Speaking of his experience, Rodgers told Barclays: 'I felt as a young player I didn't get the chance. I was a talented youth player in Northern Ireland. 'I came to England, to Reading when I was 16. I was captain of the youth team and was then in the first team squad. 'The manager at the time asked me to play in the reserve game on the Monday to get some game time then look to make my first team debut on the Wednesday against Fulham. The Reds manager believes the memory of missing out on a playing career has helped him in the long run . Rodgers failed to make it as a professional footballer despite leaving Northern Ireland for England aged 16 . 'When Wednesday came, I was expected to play and it ended up that I didn't play. That hit me probably harder than it should have done. 'I felt that from that moment that I was probably never going to get the chance.' The 42-year-old believes those experiences as a youngster have helped him to nurture the talents of the likes of Sterling, who has already made 120 appearances for Liverpool at the tender age of 20. Rodgers (centre) described himself as a 'talented youth player', but he failed to make the grade . Rodgers (middle row, second up) was on the books at Reading where he was captain of the youth team . Sterling made his Liverpool debut in August, 2012 as Liverpool were beaten 2-1 by Norwich City . Rodgers added: 'But those negative experiences, I was able to turn them into a positive in my life and in my work. 'I could help young players and prepare them. If I told young players they were going to play, they would play. 'There comes a time when you have to let them go. Sometimes you never know until they're in the arena. They just want that opportunity.' Jordan Ibe looks to have a bright future at Liverpool as Rodgers looks to give youth a chance .

Summary: Brendan Rodgers failed to make it as a professional footballer . Rodgers left Northern Ireland at the age of 16 to prove himself at Reading . The Liverpool boss was forced to quit playing by the age of 20 . 42-year-old believes past experiences have inspired him to look after Liverpool's young stars .

Life in the water: A bobcat was snapped hauling a shark along Sebastian Inlet State Park . However, Bailey told WPTV the bobcat might have been scared by his presence, since it scampered off toward the woods and let go of its find. Amy Kight, Busch Wildlife Sanctuary's Animal Care Director, told WPTV: 'My first reaction was amazement that somebody actually took that picture because bobcats are generally very, very reclusive. 'You don't really see them out and about too often.' A spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission has said she believes the image is genuine. FWC's Liz Barraco told WESH 'There is no reason to believe it's fake.' The bobcat exhibited typical behavior, FWC officials told the NBC affiliate station.

In the aftermath of Sunday's derby disaster the talk among fans was of summer incomings to reboot a blue machine that, all-of-a-sudden, looks as outdated as a Commodore 64. Then there is the inevitable speculation over the future of under-fire manager Manuel Pellegrini. But the biggest challenge for Manchester City this summer could be keeping hold of something they already have. Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero looks on dejected during the defeat by United at Old Trafford . The afternoon started so well for Aguero and City when he opened the scoring after just eight minutes . Aguero celebrates his 99th goal for Manchester City with David Silva as De Gea looks dejected . It may have gone largely unnoticed in the carnage at Old Trafford but there was an important landmark for the brilliant Sergio Aguero that deserves to be recognised. The aftermath of a crushing derby defeat at the old enemy may not be the place for jelly and ice-cream but the Argentine's tremendous feat of scoring 100 goals in just 158 appearances should be cause for celebration. Take a minute to think where City would have been without that century. Remember THAT title-winning goal against QPR in 2012? Most, in that situation, would have put their foot through the ball as soon as it arrived from Mario Balotelli. Not Kun. The man who takes his nickname from a cartoon character had City fans believing in fairy tales when he feigned a shot to open up space before firing home probably the biggest goal in the club's long history. That calm head, that powerful shot and that unnerving ability to find the target are what City paid what now looks like a bargain £38m for in 2011. Aguero netted his 100th goal for City in the 89th minute but there was no cause for celebration . The Argentine strikes in injury time against QPR to win Manchester City the title in 2012 . Aguero celebrates with Edin Dzeko after that goal when City scored twice in injury time to win title . Aguero is settled in Manchester and signed a new five-year deal only last August. However, he now has to think of himself. If the unthinkable happens and City slip outside the top four will one of the best players in the world be happy at a season without showcasing his talents on the Champions League stage? There are admirers. Real Madrid and Barcelona are both fans. Should either register an interest City would face a desperate battle to keep hold of their star man. While a move to Madrid may come with an enticing caveat in the shape of Gareth Bale, the loss of Aguero would be exceptionally difficult to recover from. Where else do you get those goals from? While it is too early in his City career to pass judgement it would appear that the burden would be too much for Wilfried Bony's broad shoulders. Wilfried Bony has only scored once in five appearances since joining City from Swansea in January . City's ageing squad is

Summary: Manchester City were beaten 4-2 by Manchester United at Old Trafford . Defeat leaves City fourth in Premier League, four points behind Man United . Man City desperately need to strengthen an ageing squad in the summer . And it remains to be see whether City will stick with Manuel Pellegrini . But the biggest challenge could be keeping hold of Sergio Aguero . Argentine scored a brace against United to take his tally for City to 100 .


As a young girl, Chelsea Clinton learned to keep secrets. But she also learned to call the Secret Service 'pigs.' That's a claim from former White House florist Ronn Payne, retold in a new book based on interviews with more than 100 members of the presidential mansion's domestic staff. As he walked into the second-floor kitchen one day, he saw Chelsea talking on the phone. A member of her Secret Service protective detail came in behind him to take the Clintons' only child to school. 'Oh, I’ve got to go. The pigs are here,' she told her phone pal, according to Payne – using a 1960s-era epithet for law enforcement. 'Faced with an angry agent who reminded her in no uncertain terms that it was his job to protect her, Chelsea replied: 'Well, that’s what my mother and father call you.' Scroll down for video . 'PIGS': Chelsea Clinton (right, in 1995) allegedly referred to the Secret Service with an offensive counter-culture epithet, and said she learned it from her parents . SHAME: Chelsea (center) accompanied her parents and their dog to the Marine One chopper in 1998, just a day after the president admitted to marital infidelities . Chelsea now shares leadership of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, which wouldn't respond to questions about the 'pigs' episode . While the political world was focused Tuesday on Republican Rand Paul's presidential coming-out party, Politico published an excerpt of 'The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House.' The book that could prove problematic for Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, the former first lady, senator and secretary of state. The Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation did not respond to a request for comment about whether Payne's recollection is accurate. Chelsea now runs the family philanthropy along with her parents. But that snippet from America's hidden history is just the tip of the iceberg. Skip Allen, a Clinton-era White House 'usher' – a high-ranking butler – said in the book that Bill and Hillary were 'about the most paranoid people I'd ever seen in my life.' 'PITCHED BATTLES': Hillary (left, with the former president in August), once threw a 'heavy' object – believed by staff to have been a table lamp – across the room, Kate Andersen Brower writes in her new book (right) Allen, who served under multiple presidents, told author Kate Anderson Brower that he preferred to work for first families he genuinely liked, rather than pretending he had warm feeligns for his employers. 'But we pretend very well,' he added. Another usher, Chris Emery, found himself uncerimoniously fired for helping former first lady Barbara Bush with technical computer questions. He had taught her how to use a PC during President George H. W. Bush's one term in office. When the Clintons saw a log of his calls, they feared he was leaking their secrets to the Bush clan – something he insists he never did. 'I was out of work for a year,' Emery says in the book. 'They ripped the rug right out from under me. You

Summary: Stunning tale came from White House domestic help who tended to the Clintons' every need during the 1990s . Book published today is based on more than 100 interviews with ordinary non-political staff who ran America's presidential mansion . One former head of the household staff said: They were about the most paranoid people I'd ever seen in my life' Another staff member said he was fired after he helped former first lady Barbara Bush with her computer because Clintons feared he was gossiping .

They are the homes provided to give those less fortunate members of our society a roof over their heads. But with the cost of maintenance and repairs to damaged public housing nearing $13 million a year in NSW alone, the State Government has had enough and is planning to make tenants pay a bond before they move in. Communities Minister Brad Hazzard said it was a 'very likely possibility' the plan would be implemented in the near future. 'The critical argument for it is that at the moment the maintenance costs, including damage from poor tenancy, are in the order of approximately $12-13 million per year,' Mr Hazzard told Daily Mail Australia. A picture from the NSW Department of Family and Community Services shows damage to public housing . Public housing tenants will pay a bond under a NSW government plan to recoup losses from trashed properties . The state's new Community Services Minister Brad Hazzard said the annual bill for repairs and maintenance on taxpayer-funded housing had hit $12 million . Mr Hazzard added that he was unsure as to why public housing tenants have never been made to pay a bond similar to that paid by private renters . 'I'd like to see at least a reasonable portion of that money saved and put into more public housing. We have very long public housing tenancy waiting lists.' Mr Hazzard, who took over the portfolio after the March election, said he was alerted to the fact public housing tenants don't pay a bond when consulting with workers in the field. He added that introducing a bond was not a new idea or 'rocket science'. 'My job is to make sure I use taxpayers money very wisely and maximise the opportunities for public housing for other people that wait years,' Mr Hazzard said. The Minister said it would most likely be a one month bond, paid off over six months to a year. He said it would be possible to make exceptions in certain circumstance – for example women escaping domestic violence. Mr Hazzard added public housing tenants were already liable for damage but 'they don't have the money'. Pictured is a trashed public housing property in Hornsby, in the northern suburbs of Sydney . Mr Hazzard, who took over the portfolio after the March election, said he was alerted to the issue when consulting with workers in the field . Damage can also be seen to the garage door, and the backyard is piled up with junk . 'Generally it's very hard to retrospectively try to get money from tenants when they've moved out,' he said. 'This is about sending a forward message, a very clear and upfront message, that you will be responsible for the damage.' Ned Cutcher, policy officer at the NSW Tenants' Union, said public housing tenants were already liable if they caused damage to properties. 'Tenants are always liable for the damage they cause, the question of the bond is really just about making sure there's a little bit of money there so landlords can have ready

Former England cricketer Matt Prior will have his mind set on a sporting peak of a different kind when some of the world's best cyclists re-converge on the Yorkshire roads early next month. Prior is chief executive of the ONE Pro Cycling team that has been confirmed in the list of entrants for the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire which will run over three stages starting in Bridlington on May 1. For Prior the opportunity for his team to compete against the likes of Team Sky and Sir Bradley Wiggins - who will lead his own team in the race for the first time - is only the start of his ambitions. Matt Prior's ONE Pro Cycling team has been confirmed in the list of entrants for the first Tour de Yorkshire . Members of the ONE Pro Cycling, for which the former England cricketer is CEO, in the Chorley Grand Prix . Prior said: 'We are hugely ambitious as a team and as a company and we want to eventually move up to pro-continental level and hopefully above. 'It's very important to have ambition and it's very important from the team's point of view that we create an environment that breeds success and gives the team the chance to be successful. 'We've got some hugely talented young lads and we will learn such a huge amount from the opportunity to race against such big teams and big riders.' The former England wicketkeeper is a long-time cycling fan who was mocked by Kevin Pietersen last summer for taking his bike with him on a tour of New Zealand. The ONE Pro team in Yorkshire on Monday to do a recce of stage two of the elite event in England . But for Prior the possibilities in the sport were really underlined by the spectacular success of last year's Tour de France Grand Depart, which in turn inspired the Tour de Yorkshire. Such is the enthusiasm for cycling in the county race officials match Prior's more personal aims in wishing to turn the new Tour into one of the biggest of its kind in the world. Prior added: 'It was because of the Grand Depart that ONE Pro Cycling really started - seeing all those thousands of fans lining the streets we really wanted to give them the chance to be a part of a professional cycling team. The team, which Prior has big plans for, warm up for their elite racing debut in Chorley . 'When I was 12 years old my dream was to be a professional cricketer and play for England in the Ashes - you want to be involved in the biggest events you possibly can. 'Likewise, when we sat down and started this team we agreed that the dream should be to one day line up in the Tour de France and that hasn't changed. 'It's a long way down the line but we're building and we're certainly going in the right direction. To be given an opportunity to race in Yorkshire is another massive tick in the box.'
