German police are investigating whether a woman sickeningly claimed to be related to a victim of last month's Germanwings air disaster - so she could get free flights to southern France. The airline's parent company Lufthansa organised special flights for victims' families after the March 24 crash in the French Alps which killed all 150 people on board. The Halterner Zeitung newspaper - based in the town that lost 16 students and two teachers - said she flew to the region twice after falsely claiming to be one of the deceased teacher's cousins. Police are investigating the possible fraud and the alleged culprit will be questioned, a police spokesman in Hoexter has said. Scroll down for video . Fraud: Police in Germany are investigating whether a woman lied about being related to a victim of the doomed Germanwings flight (pictured) to get free flights to southern France . Cruel: As Lufthansa Chief Executive Carsten Spohr (left) and Germanwings Managing Director Thomas Winkelmann (right) mourn, a German woman has been accused of using the disaster for her own gain . Liar: The woman allegedly tried to pass herself of as a deceased teacher on the flight, meanwhile passengers have laid flowers for the victims of the plane crash at the airport in Dusseldorf (pictured) Killer? Andreas Lubitz may have spiked his Captain's coffee so he would be left alone on the aircraft's flight deck, investigators have now said . Memorial: The first picture of the doomed crew of the Germanwings plane at Germanwings HQ in Cologne has been revealed . And Lufthansa says it is looking into what appears to be a 'regrettable isolated case' but did not give further details. The Airbus A320 went down in a remote region of the French Alps en route to Dusseldorf from Barcelona. Recordings from the flight data recorder suggest co-pilot Andreas Lubitz locked the captain out of the cockpit before 'deliberately' crashing the jet. Crash investigators are now examining a computer belonging to Lubitz to determine whether he 'spiked' his captain's drink to force him into the toilet. The 27-year-old changed the aircraft's altitude to just 100 feet using the autopilot - sending it on collision course with the Alps. German prosecutors believe that Lubitz may have added a chemical to Captain Patrick Sodenheimer's coffee to remove him from the flight deck. Once Captain Sodenheimer closed the cockpit door, Lubitz enabled special security features preventing the reinforced door from reopening. The safety systems were introduced following the 9/11 attacks although the designers did not consider a rogue pilot seeking to kill himself while taking his passengers and fellow crew with him. Destruction: Lubitz remained silent during the final eight minutes of the flight as it crashed into the Alps . Probe: Investigators have been scouring Lubitz's computers to determine his state of mind before the tragedy . Already it has emerged that Lubitz used his computer to research methods of killing himself as well as information concerning the cockpit door locking mechanism. It is understood that European safety chiefs had concerns about Germanwings' safety procedures

Summary: The woman allegedly boarded special flights organised for victims' families . Police in Hoexter are looking into the possible fraud, will question woman . Investigators have been searching Andreas Lubtiz's internet search history . Lubitz sought information online on various methods of taking his own life .

By . Annabel Fenwick Elliott for MailOnline . A brother and sister who hadn't seen each other for 16 years have been reunited after they were matched unwittingly on Tinder.

'The first time I swiped her profile I had absolutely no idea,' Erik told Mic. 'In our first conversation I was actually flirting with her so the conversation was very superficial.' After messaging back and forth, details began to emerge about Josephine that made Erik suspicious of who she might be - namely a girl from Breda, where he had grown up, who had been separated from her twin brothers. Initially, Erik backed off over his concerns, but a few days later curiosity got the better of him so he asked Josephine a series of further questions about her past. Upon realising they were indeed siblings, the pair agreed to meet at a local café. 'When I saw him, it was suddenly very clear,' Josephine told DatingSiteKiezen. 'It was so special to see my own blood brother again after 16 years.' Erik was reunited with his long-lost sister after swiping right to her profile photo on Tinder (file photo) Erik's twin Maarten was equally as aghast. 'It’s too crazy for words that you come into contact with each other again like this,' he told NL Times. 'But that also makes it very special. I am very happy that I can now still get to know my sister.' The three siblings say they now plan to spend more time together, albeit in a more appropriate setting.

Killing a spider is one thing but seeing hundreds of babies explode from its body afterwards would freak out anyone. This was the case in Hallett Cove, South Australia, when a man smacked a huge wolf spider as it scuttled across his kitchen floor. He got the shock of his life when he squashed the hairy beast with a broom, only to see hundreds of baby spiders came crawling out of the mother and spreading out in all directions on the floor. A female wolf spider scuttles across a kitchen floor in Hallett Cove, South Australia . The house owner is not too happy and promptly gets out a broom to get rid of the hairy beast . ‘Ohhh look at the babies come out of it,’ the man says in surprise. The scene was greeted by the voice of a woman in the background saying: ‘Ahhhhh, kill it!!’ A few more whacks later, and the tiny babies were running everywhere on the floor. But to his surprise after smashing the female spider a few times with the broom hundreds of babies appear . After giving the spider some more whacks for good measure, the man was heard saying: ‘It’s dead.’ Finally the broom was used for what it was made for - sweeping up what was left on the floor. The Australian Repile Park website explains that after mating, the female wolf spider produces a silk mat into which she deposits around 100 eggs. Soon the tiny baby spiders are trying to make a run for it all over the kitchen floor . The silk is then rolled into a protective ball which she attaches to her abdomen and proceeds to carry it around with her until the eggs hatch. After hatching, the babies crawl onto the mother's back and remain there until their fat reserves have been used up and they need to start finding their own food, which may take several months. That is unless the female spider is cracked a few times over the head with a broom. With the spider now dead the man sweeps it up as well as the babies that are spread all around .

Photos provided by a journalist show the plane tilting to one side and its left engine touching the runway . In statements posted on Twitter, Jet Airways described it as ‘a technical problem with the landing gear’ and said reports of a fire are untrue. Passengers spotted smoke outside the plane when the left wing landing gear collapsed, Indian media reported.

Protests by Japanese-American groups and Star Trek's George Takei have led an East Coast auction house to cancel a sale of 450 photos and artifacts from World War II internment camps. Thousands of Japanese-Americans, groups and sympathizers posted their opposition to the sale on social media and the auction house's Facebook page, the San Jose Mercury News reported Thursday. The items from the collection of 'dean of American crafts' Allen Eaton were slated for public auction on Friday at the Rago Auction House in Lambertville, New Jersey. Stopped the sale: Star Trek actor George Takei helped halt the action of 450 photos and artifacts from World War II Japanese-American internment camps . The collection includes 63 photos of people of Japanese descent who were imprisoned over fears they were spies and dozens of arts and crafts they made. The auction was halted thanks, in part, to the efforts of Takei, who lived in an internment camps in Arkansas as a child. 'Greetings from Australia,' Takei wrote to followers on the Japanese American History NOT for Sale Facebook. 'Thank you all for mobilizing on this important issue. It took a few calls today here in the wee hours, and I'll be issuing a formal statement later, but we can all celebrate a bit today at this news.' Also leading the charge against the auction was the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation (HMWF), which threatened to sue the Rago Arts and Auction Center over the sale. Outcry: Takei and a group called the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation helped stop the sale of items like these panels carved in the internment camps . Not just art for sale: Families forced into the internment camps during WWII were not allowed to take photos and the officials photographers were barred from snapping the barbed wire and guard towers that became a part of these families' lives . Critics of the auction say these works aren't just art but expression of the sorry the disenfranchised families felt . 'I am heartened by the solidarity shown among the Japanese American community to bring this issue to light,' Executive Director Brian Liesinger said in a release. 'It spurred us on in our effort to do right by the collection and the incarcerees who created the artworks.' Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation runs a museum dedicated to educating the public about the wartime relocation of Japanese Americans, including the background history of anti-Asian prejudice in America. According to a Change.org petition that aimed to stop the auction, Allen Eaton would himself have been opposed to the sale. 'These items were given -- not sold -- to the original collector, Allen Eaton, because he wanted to display them in an exhibition that would help tell the story of the incarceration of 120,000 innocent people,' reads the petition.

When walking into the backyard of your seaside condo, the only things you would hope to find are the waves lapping at the shore, or a sunset over the ocean. However, one Florida homeowner was shocked to find a nine foot bull shark swimming right past his back door. This incredible video captured the moment the extremely dangerous predator prowled past the property at the north end of Hickory Island, in Bonita Springs. This is the moment a nine foot long bull shark, considered among the deadliest in the world, was captured swimming past a condo back yard on Hikcory Island in Florida . The beast can be seen just under the the water, with its distinctive pectoral fin breaking the surface. Residents in Bonita Springs told NBC-2 that sharks began swimming up to their condos about a week ago, and have been spotted several times since. They say fishermen have been chumming the water - throwing in bait - which has been luring the animals back. Property owners are now asking the city to designate the area for swimming only, which would outlaw fishing there and, they hope, drive the sharks back out to sea. Bull sharks, along with great whites and tiger sharks, are generally considered among the most dangerous sharks in the world, and among the most likely to attack humans. Homeowners say fishermen throwing bait into the water nearby are attracting the predators to their homes, and are calling for fishing to be banned in the area . Adult bull sharks can grow up to 11.5ft long, live up to 16 years in the wild, and along with great whites and tiger sharks, are said to be the most likely species to attack humans . Their natural habitat is the warm, shallow ocean waters around the equator, though they can just as happily swim through freshwater, and are often found hunting far up rivers and estuaries. They will eat almost anything they can kill, including fish, dolphins, seabirds, and other sharks. Humans are not naturally part of their diet, but they have been known to attack out of curiosity. They get their name from their short, stubby noses, aggressive disposition, and tendency to headbutt their prey before biting. According to National Geographic, adults can reach anywhere between 6ft and 11.5ft in length, and can live up to 16 years in the wild. Hickory Island juts out into the sea from mainland Florida and is surrounded on both sides by ocean, meaning sharks are able to swim very close to the houses .

Using statistical analysis, the researchers found that pre-hypertension was found in 27.4 per cent of the total population, and 38 per cent ate more than 12 meals away from home per week; while the gender breakdown showed that pre-hypertension was much more prevalent in men (49 per cent) than in women (nine per cent). The findings showed those who had pre-hypertension or hypertension were more likely to eat more meals away from home per week, have a higher mean BMI, have lower mean physical activity levels, and be current smokers. The novel finding of the study, published online by the American Journal of Hypertension, was the link that Dr. Jafar's team was able to show between pre-hypertension and hypertension with meals eaten away from home. The researchers said that what was also significant was that even eating one extra meal out, raised the odds of pre-hypertension by six per cent. Dr Jafar said: 'While there have been studies conducted in the United States and Japan to find behaviours associated with hypertension, very few have surveyed a South East Asian population. 'Our research plugs that gap and highlights lifestyle factors associated with pre-hypertension and hypertension that are potentially modifiable, and would be applicable to young adults globally, especially those of Asian descent.' She said future studies should examine the effect of lifestyle modification programmes on blood pressure levels of at-risk people.

Summary: Those who often dine out are more likely to have elevated blood pressure . Eating out is associated with higher calorie, saturated fat and salt intake . Researchers found 27.4% of Singapore's population had pre-hypertension . Of these, more than a third ate more than 12 meals out every week .

She said on meeting Rojo at United's Christmas party: ‘He came over to me and sat down. His English was quite bad but he was chatty and said nice things to me about how I looked and how he liked my Versace dress. 'He said “You’re gorgeous, you’re the best looking girl in here.” It was all very cheesy, but he’s so good looking that I gave him my number. ‘He asked me how much it would cost for me to have sex with Marcos. I told him that I was not a prostitute.’ But she did find the Argentine star’s dusky looks attractive and they ended up in a bedroom. ‘I did it because I liked him, not for money or with any intention to sell the story on,’ she says. Rojo and Di Maria are not back in action until next Sunday when Manchester United host local rivals Manchester City.

The owners of two dogs that got loose and mauled a jogger to death in Michigan pleaded no contest on Friday to a reduced charge. Sebastiano Quagliata and his wife, Valbona Lucaj, pleaded no contest to owning a dangerous dog causing death in the fatal mauling last summer of Craig Sytsma of Livonia, The Flint Journal reported. 'I'm so sorry,' Lucaj told Sytsma's family. Sytsma, 46, was attacked by two cane corsos last July in Metamora Township, 45 miles northwest of Detroit.

Sytsma, 46, was attacked by two cane corsos last July in Metamora Township, 45 miles northwest of Detroit . The father-of-three was bitten some eight times by two hundred-pound cane corsos while jogging in Metamora Township in July, and was 'screaming and begging' for help in his final minutes. Lapeer County Prosecutor Tim Turkelson predicts a sentence of at least 19 months in prison when the two return to court on June 8. The two have been in custody for months and were facing a second-degree murder charge before making the plea deal. Lucaj, a native of Albania, and Quagliata, a native of Italy, could be deported after serving their sentences. They had 'no intention to do anything to hurt anyone,' defense attorney Jason Malkiewicz said. 'I think today was the first day my clients got to sit over there and accept responsibly for actions,' he said. 'I think the death of Mr Sytsma has sat in their heads for a year and it's been a nightmare to my clients, as well as everyone involved.' Attorney Glenn Saltsman said the Sytsma family is satisfied with the plea deal, although he believes laws covering dangerous dogs are 'archaic and weak'. There was evidence that the dogs had attacked other people on the road. 'These dogs should've never been alive after the first attack,' Saltsman said. The father-of-three was bitten some eight times by two hundred-pound cane corsos while jogging in July . Attorney Glenn Saltsman said the Sytsma family is satisfied with the plea deal. The sentencing will be in June . During the attack, one neighbor, a medic, used a belt as a tourniquet to stop Sytsma's bleeding. Helen Barwig had to pause the rescue efforts momentarily while the massive dogs came back. 'I'm bleeding out,' a desperate Sytsma told his rescuer, according to the Detroit Free Press. 'I'm dying.' He 'was losing a lot of blood and begged her to not let him die,' police wrote about incident. It took another neighbor, Barwig's boyfriend Edward Elmer, firing his .44-caliber Magnum at the dogs to end the attack. He struck one of the animals in the leg. Sytsma only had time to tell Barwig that his name was Craig before losing consciousness. He was rushed to

Revealed: Zipporah Lisle-Mainwaring, the owner of the stripy Kensington property, may be worth up to £60million and has fallen out with her family over inheritance . The woman accused of painting red and white stripes on her £15million Kensington townhouse in a bitter planning row is a war hero's daughter worth as much as £60million who has fallen out with her family over inheritance. Zipporah Lisle-Mainwaring has been accused by critics in her west London neighbourhood of ordering the dramatic overnight paint job ‘to get her own back’ when they objected to her plans to demolish the property and rebuild it with a two-storey ‘iceberg’ basement. Residents in the otherwise immaculate cobbled cul-de-sac in Kensington, one of the city’s wealthiest areas, said the colourful redesign was driving them ‘mad’ and likened Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring, believed to be in her early 70s, to ‘a child throwing a tantrum’. Today MailOnline can reveal Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring has also fallen out with the family of her late husband Robert, who have accused her of failing to pass on cash and property worth millions after his death in 2007. Robert Lisle, her stepson, said her behaviour does not surprise him, having last had contact with her in 2012 when they continued to row over the inheritance he believes is due to him and the wider family. He said: ‘She has made commitments and reneged on them. She’s an extremely unpleasant character'. His wife Sally claims Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring's life revolves around money, which has left her estranged from much of her family. She said: 'She's fallen out with the family. It's sad, she is missing out on them growing up and getting married. But she's not involved because of her decisions. 'Her husband promised money and property to his children and grandchildren but after he died it never materialised. They were promises my husband's father made, but she has never kept one. 'She's so rude, in fact she is the rudest person I've ever met. 'Money is not our god - but money is her god. We don't need it to be happy, we are already, but it is for her. She's got nothing else in her life, no friends, just her and her money'. Ms Lisle-Mainwaring's original name is understood to be Patricia Royde, who later changed her name to Zipporah - the name of Moses' wife - because of 'vanity', her family claim. She is the daughter of a Second World War hero pilot, Flying Officer George Reicher Royde, who was handed the Distinguished Flying Cross in 1942 for helping fly a bomber back to Britain from a European raid when the pilot was injured, saving the rest of the crew on board. But in 1943 he was shot down over Belgium while heading to bomb German factories and buried in the Schoonselhof Cemetery. In May 2013 Mrs Lisle-Mainwaring helped unveiled a memorial at the crash site to remember her father's life and the others lost. Neighbours of a £15million townhouse in South End, Kensington - one of the most exclusive areas of London - have branded

Summary: Zipporah Lisle-Mainwaring accused of painting £15million house like a 'beach hut' in row over planning application . The paint job comes after planning applications to demolish home and rebuild it with double basement were rejected .

FIFA presidential candidate Luis Figo on Wednesday disputed the Confederation of African Football's claim that all 54 votes from the continent will go to incumbent Sepp Blatter in the presidential elections next month. The former Portugal international, in Egypt at the CAF Congress to canvass for votes, told Sportsmail he did not believe all Africa was solidly behind Blatter, who seeks re-election on May 29 against Figo, Prince Ali bin Al Hussein of Jordan and the Dutch football association president Michael van Praag. 'I feel there's a lot of respect for CAF among all the African federations but I'm positive that (CAF president) Mr (Issa) Hayatou did not speak in the name of the 54 members of the confederation,' said the former Barcelona and Real Madrid midfielder. Luis Figo does not believe that Sepp Blatter will receive ALL 54 votes from African nations . Blatter (left) has received the backing of African football's president Issa Hayatou (right) 'Even when he (Hayatou) announced he would support Blatter, we could notice a difference from past congresses when a statement like that normally is followed by a standing ovation. 'This time we heard just a normal applause, which confirms my idea that a lot of African countries understand and agree with the need to change for the better of everyone, especially the national associations. 'In fact there were federation presidents who ensured me they would vote for me but they were reluctant to saying this out loud because they feared reactions against them, their federations and even their countries,' said Figo. 'It also to end this kind of atmosphere that I decided to be a candidate. Football should be about a beautiful game and people should be able to express themselves freely and openly.' Figo (left) and Michael van Pragg (right) are opposing Blatter and have chosen to run for presidency . Prince Ali bin al-Hussein is the third challenger and the FIFA vice-president was in attendance in Zimbabwe . The CAF congress in Cairo ended on Tuesday with Hayatou declaring Africa's complete support for Blatter's re-election but on all previous occasions when the CAF chief has promised a block of African votes, many have broken ranks. When Blatter came to power in 1998, Hayatou pledged Africa's votes to rival Lennart Johansson of Sweden but most defied him to vote Blatter into power. When Hayatou stood against Blatter in 2002, almost half the African countries voted for the Swiss rather than their own confederation president.

Summary: Luis Figo is challenging to replace Sepp Blatter as FIFA president . Former Portugal star doesn't believe all of Confederation of African Football's (CAF) 54 votes will decide in Blatter's favour . Prince Ali bin Al Hussein and Michael van Praag are also in the running .


With luxury plane suites pushing the boundaries of lavish travel, the upstairs-downstairs-style divide between economy and suites is continually growing. And now Airbus is set to introduce an extra seat to each row of its Airbus A380 model, squeezing yet more passengers onto each plane. From 2017 there will be 11 seats incorporated into the same space as the current 10 are placed, and a fourth class introduced in response to the new dreaded middle seat. Scroll down for video . Tight squeeze! Airbus are set to cram an extra seat into their Airbus 380 in the middle section. The change is due to come into place in 2017 . The configuration was rejected by Emirates but two manufacturers, Zodiac and Geven, have agreed to deliver the seats . The addition of the centre seat will change the current configuration from 3-4-3 to become a 3-5-3 set up. At the moment the company uses First, Business and Economy class, but there will soon be the addition of 'budget economy', cleverly branded as Choice Economy. Some critics have gone as far as calling the new set-up 'economy minus'. Senior Vice President of Marketing for Airbus Christopher Emerson, told trade publication Leeham News and Comment: 'Ninety per cent of world travellers are economy but not all are homogeneous. 'We want to give a choice to the 90 per cent of the economy passengers. They are going to be the driver of the growth, the doubling of growth in the next 15 years.' Miraculously the inclusion of an additional seat will not alter the seat width for economy ticket holders. Currently the width is 18in, which falls in line with the aircraft manufacturer's manifesto 18 months ago to adopt that size as an industry standard. Airbus claims a rearrange of the cabin has enabled it to maintain this width and squeeze in the extra seat. The width of the arm rest, however, will change, with the aircraft adopting a slimmer version. The launch was announced in Hamburg this week, despite customer Emirates Airlines confirming it would not pursue the new arrangement for its aircraft - reportedly over fears the new design could affect its reputation for quality economy seating, according to trade publication Aviation Week. Airbus Vice President-Cabin Innovation and Design Ingo Wuggetzer said at the Aircraft Interiors Expo that more innovation should be going into economy cabins. 'In the past most innovation went into premium products, but that is only for six per cent of the travellers,' he said. The Airbus A380 will be advertised as having 544 seats instead of 525, and Emerson said the additional revenue per aircraft would be $20m per year. 'That's the equivalent of 40 per cent fuel burn reduction,' he explained. How the other half live! Rich fliers can enjoy private three-room suite for a luxurious first-class experience . Luxury surroundings: The Airbus 380 cabin is one of the quietest and most spacious in the sky .

Summary: Airbus are increasing their seats from 10 to 11 seats in every row . The addition will see Airbus creating a fourth cheaper class called Choice . The change is to be launched in 2017 on the Airbus 380 model . Airbus state the move is to reflect 90 per cent of fliers using economy . Thankfully seat widths will remain at the standard 18 inches .


These dramatic images show the moment an Audi pulled out of a road and deliberately crashed into the side of a bus as part of a £1million 'crash for cash' scam. The elaborate fraud involved cars and vans being driven into the side of First Group buses so passengers - who were mainly friends and relatives complicit in the scam - could falsely claim from insurers. The crashes took place between October 2010 and January 2012 and earned ringleader John Smith 45, from Connah's Quay, North Wales, £159,000. As the pictures show, all the collisions followed similar scenarios in which a car would collide with the side of a bus, causing both minimal impact and damage. In each case, the driver of the car would admit full liability, allowing all of the passengers from the bus to submit personal injury claims. Scroll down for video . The blue Audi pulls out from Whitchurch road, in Chester and accelerates into the side of the bus . It then collides into the bus as part of the £1million 'crash for cash' scam that took place over three years . The elaborate fraud allowed passengers on the bus, who were mainly friends and relatives complicit in the scam, to falsely claim from insurers . Smith, the managing director of Swift Accident Solutions, stage-managed the crashes around the Chester area over the three-year period, in a bid to create new claimants for his business. He then personally processed 218 personal injury claims - which totalled more than £1million - to no win no fee lawyers. All of the bogus claims submitted by the Smith's company were for whiplash and 'soft tissue injuries,' meaning they could not be verified by the insurance companies. Instead, insurers were forced to rely on the individual claimants and usually settled out of court. John Smith (right), 45, from Connah's Quay, North Wales is facing jail after stage-managing several collisions in a £1m 'crash for cash' fraud; Luke McQuillan (left) was found guilty of of conspiracy to commit fraud . Police uncovered Smith's plot after being alerted by First Direct insurance to the unusually high volume of claims. They also found more than 90 per cent of the claimants involved in the collisions were linked to one another. The majority were friends or relatives of the 12 defendants, the court was told. The court heard how Smith had introduced 177 new claimants to a lawyer for which he received £960 each time. Investigators later found that the bogus claims accounted for more than 75 per cent of the total gross income at Swift Accident Solutions during the period. Smith was convicted yesterday at Manchester Crown Court Smith of fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud, following a 41-day trial. Nine other defendants, who police said played a major role in organising the collisions, were all found guilty of conspiracy to commit fraud. Four more people had already pleaded guilty to the charge, while two defendants were found not guilty. Police believe more arrests will still be made over the scam. During the trial,

Living near congested roads with high levels of air pollution can cause ‘silent strokes’ which increase the risk of dementia, scientists have warned. Exposure to small, sooty particles, mostly caused by traffic fumes and factory emissions, alters the structure of the brain, they said. The microscopic particles have previously been shown to cause lung damage and harmful changes in blood vessels and clotting, and are thought to contribute to the deaths of 29,000 people every year in Britain. Living near a congested road can increase the chance of developing dementia, research has found . Researchers examined the brains of more than 900 people aged more than 60 and assessed the pollution risk . US researchers found evidence that living near congested roads or polluted areas can lead to ‘silent strokes’ which in turn cause shrinkage of the brain and other damage. Silent strokes, which arise from blockages in blood vessels supplying the brain, do not have any outward symptoms and the victim is usually unaware of them. Sudha Seshadri, a professor of neurology at Boston University School of Medicine, said: ‘This is concerning, since we know that silent strokes increase the risk of overt strokes and of developing dementia, walking problems and depression. ‘We now plan to look more at the impact of air pollution over a longer period, its effect on brain shrinkage over time, and other risks including stroke and dementia.’ The study, by Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Boston University School of Medicine, involved more than 900 people aged 60 and over who did not have dementia or a history of strokes. It recorded how far participants lived from major roads and used satellite imagery to assess their exposure to the fine particulate matter known as PM2.5. This is made up of small particles measuring just 2.5 micrometres, or 30 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair. These particles are generated from a variety of sources, including power plants, factories, trucks and cars and the burning of wood. They can travel deeply into the lungs and have been associated with increased numbers of hospital admissions for heart attacks and strokes. The study participants’ brain matter was measured using MRI scans. The researchers found that increases in PM2.5 in towns and cities was linked with a 46 per cent higher risk of silent strokes. The research was published in a report in the journal Stroke. Researcher Elissa Wilker, of the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Research Unit at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, said: ‘This is one of the first studies to look at the relationship between ambient air pollution and brain structure. ‘Our findings suggest that air pollution is associated with insidious effects, even in dementia and stroke-free individuals. ‘The mechanisms remain unclear, but inflammation resulting from the deposit of fine particles in the lungs is likely important.’ The study will add to mounting pressure on the Government, which faces a judgment at the Supreme Court next week over its failure to meet EU legal limits for air pollution. Sixteen cities – including London, Manchester, Glasgow, Sheffield and Birmingham

Summary: American researchers examined more than 900 people aged 60 and over . Experts believe that air pollution could increase the risk of 'silent strokes' Microscopic particles in pollution are thought to kill 29,000 people a year . The risk of having a silent stroke can be raised by more than 40 per cent .


Burnley manager Sean Dyche has complete confidence that his side will beat relegation. The Clarets are gearing up for the final eight games of their Barclays Premier League survival battle reinvigorated after a warm-weather training camp. Sean Dyche's squad - minus the four players on international duty - spent last week in Spain preparing for a run-in that begins with Sunday's tricky visit of Tottenham. Sean Dyche believes his Burnley side are more than capable of avoiding the Premier League drop . They have a tough battle ahead but recent performances - not least last month's defeat of champions Manchester City - have given hope that a side rated as pre-season relegation favourites can escape the bottom three. The idea of a late-season getaway worked wonders last year, as Dyche's men returned to secure a promotion spot and he hopes for a similar boost this time. The 43-year-old said: 'Last year we found it gave the lads a change and a change is almost as good a rest. We came back and we did the business by getting ourselves promoted. Star man Danny Ings will need to be in top form to get the better of the Tottenham Hotspur defence . 'It's a different kind of challenge this time but we want the same outcome which is to win games and be in the Premier League. 'Wins have been hard to come by - or certainly harder to come by - and it's a big jump in quality but I think slowly but surely we're refocusing on what the job is, learning as we go and delivering good performances. 'I have total belief we will be in the Premier League.' George Boyd (21) celebrates after scoring the winner against Manchester City at Turf Moor . Burnley were written off by many after failing to win any of their opening 10 games but have since proved they are no pushovers. They remain in the relegation zone but were still just three points off 15th place ahead of the weekend fixtures. The Spurs clash is followed by another tough task against Arsenal but Dyche has no doubt his side will push hard. He said: 'I don't know what they're thinking (about us) but I think they know we'll give everything to win a game. That's well documented. They know about the energy and physical desire of the team and behind that there is quality there. Harry Kane has been the player of Tottenham's season and will need to be watched carefully on Sunday . 'Of course that's got to win games. We beat Man City but we need more of that, and it's not always good play but a bit of luck, a decision to go your way every now and then. 'I think our performances have been decent at least. We know they're tough games and the next one will be Tottenham but we'll be ready.' Dyche has dismissed suggestions that his side, inexperienced at the top level, could start flagging as the heat intensifies in the coming weeks. Michael Duff (left) challenges

Two teenage boys reportedly stabbed a third to death after arguing about their mobile phones - then killed four girl pals they were with so they couldn't tell police about the murder. Sergey Burkaev, 16, and Konstantin Surkov, 17, are said to have raped their last victim before slitting her throat. The vodka-fuelled duo doused all five bodies in petrol and set them alight at a flat in south-west Russia, according to prosecutors. Scroll down for video . Accused of murder and rape: Sergey Burkaev, 16 (left) and Konstantin Surkov, 17, could be jailed for life . Slain at a party: Russian police released pixellated images of some of the victims, who were aged 16 to 22 . The baby-faced pair apparently fled in a stolen car but were arrested by traffic officers, who saw the vehicle being driven erratically. If convicted, Surkov and Burkaev face life in jail. The police who quizzed them say both teenagers have confessed to the murders and rape. The only reason they have given for the carnage was that they were drunk, the officers added. The horrific crimes reportedly took place at a house party in the small town of Kumertau in Bashkortostan on Friday night. A friend of party-goers - 17-year-old Svetlana Frolova - said: 'I just can't believe this has happened. They were all so friendly with each other and always hanging out together. 'I had been invited (to the party) too, and had really wanted to go, but my mum said I had to stay in to do my homework. I'm so glad I did. I can't understand why they did this.' Arrested: One of the youths is told to lean face down on a police car after being stopped in a 'stolen' vehicle . Boozed-up Surkov and Burkaev are said to have accused fellow party guest Sidor Fokine, 22, of stealing their mobile phones. When he denied it, they flew into a rage and pulled out their knives. Then they knifed him in front of the other guests - who were all female. But they feared that the young women would identify them as the killers. So they knifed them too, including 16-year-old Maria Sorokina, in whose flat they were partying, and her 17-year-old friend Anastasia Selezneva. Scene of carnage: Police officers at the apartment block in Kumertau where five young people were killed . The other victims were aged 21 and 22. Anastasia was the last to be murdered - and she was raped before her brutal death. The five bodies were set on fire in the apartment. A police spokesman said of Surkov and Burkaev: 'They were apprehended while trying to escape in a stolen car. They were covered in blood and still drunk. 'So far they have only said they did it because they were drunk.'

Summary: Sergey Burkaev, 16, and Konstantin Surkov, 17, 'confessed' to murders . Duo are also said to have raped one of the girls before cutting her throat . The accused and their victims were at a house party in Kumertau, Russia .


A Virginia man has won the right to see his son, even thought the child was conceived through the woman using a turkey baster, a court has ruled, . Robert Preston Boardwine provided his friend Joyce Rosemary Bruce with sperm and she impregnated herself using the kitchen accessory in 2010. She had opted for the bizarre method of conception because she believed that the absence of intercourse would mean Mr Boardwine had no parental rights. After the boy was born, the pair disagreed on the level of involvement Mr Boardwine would have in his son's life, with Ms Bruce intent on raising him alone. Unusual method: A court in Richmond, Virginia, has ruled that even though Joyce Rosemary Bruce impregnated herself using a turkey baster and Robert Preston Boardwine's sperm, he still has parental rights . Mr Boardwine had envisioned being more involved in the child's life, telling a lower court he had hoped to 'attend the boy's sporting events some day', and have a say in major decisions such as school. The Virginia Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that as the child's biological father, Mr Boardwine is more than a sperm donor and is entitled to be a part of his son's life. 'The path to fatherhood may have been unconventional,' the court said, but it doesn't remove Boardwine's parental rights. According to court filings, Ms Bruce impregnated herself with a turkey baster, believing that Mr Boardwine would not have any parental rights because they did not have intercourse. Mr Boardwine had agreed after some trepidation to provide the sperm, and the pair underwent several tries before Ms Bruce fell pregnant. They discussed a written contract but never signed one, a court heard. 'Bruce used an ordinary turkey baster to inseminate herself,' the court said. 'No other person was involved. They did not go to a doctor's office or to a medical facility.' After several visits from Mr Boardwine in 2010, Ms Bruce learned that she was pregnant in July. Their good relationship continued for the early part of the pregnancy, with Mr Boardwine visiting and bringing a stuffed bear and baby clothes. However, Ms Bruce wanted him to be only 'as involved as her other friends', a lower court was told, while he sought a more active role — attendance at the boy's sporting events someday, and a voice in major decisions. Ms Bruce fell pregnant after several 'tries' using Mr Boardwine's sperm, but despite an initially friendly relationship, the pair fell out when she rejected his suggestion for a name for their son . The relationship soured when Ms Bruce rejected Mr Boardwine's suggested name for the child. They didn't speak for about five months, until the boy was born and Boardwine showed up at the hospital. Later visits to her home were 'sort of strained,' Ms Bruice said, and she eventually told Boardwine to stay away. Ms Bruce argued that Boardwine had no rights because, under the state's assisted conception law, he was merely a sperm donor. But the law defines assisted conception as a pregnancy resulting from

Summary: Man impregnated female friend using his sperm and a turkey baster . Robert Preston Boardwine had envisioned an active role in child's life . Mother, Joyce Rosemary Bruce, only wanted him to be 'a friend' She believed that if she used turkey baster and avoided intercourse Boardwine would have no parental rights . But Virginia court rules Boardwine has the right to be involved as a parent .

Michael, has spent £7,500 on a hair transplant which he believes will boost his self-esteem and happiness. His mother, Joy, who never spends money on herself and wears £5.99 shoes from Oxfam, is amazed her son is prepared to spend so much on changing his appearance. She points out that he could go on a luxury holiday for the next seven years for the same price. But Michael said of the treatment: 'It will make me feel more complete. It is a lot of money but this means a lot to me, good holidays come and go but this will last a lifetime and make me a happier more confident person.' Joy, however, is worried that her son, a divorced father of two, is pinning too much on the hair transplant changing his fortunes of her son. She said: 'I'm just worried he will be disappointed. He's pinned so much on this, he has looked forward it to, I think he feels his life will change dramatically.' Andrea Carter, 72, from Leighton Buzzard, has her baggy jowls removed . Another person keen to boost their self-esteem via a Harley Street surgeon is Emma Tallon, 27. She paid £3,100 for liposuction on her thighs, which she feels are too big.
