The step-mom of a woman who died following a botched black-market cosmetic procedure on her buttocks has recalled how the victim was obsessed with having a larger bottom. Wykesha Reid, 34, was found dead on a massage table at the Deep Ellum salon in Dallas on February 19, with her pants partially pulled down and a blood-stained gauze on her butt. Patricia Kelley, 70, who had raised Reid since she was a baby, said the victim had always 'wanted a big booty.' Wykesha Reid, 34, was found dead on a massage table at the Deep Ellum salon in Dallas on February 19, with her pants partially pulled down and a blood-stained gauze on her butt . The nursing home staffer had already gone to the salon three times for the injections without experiencing any problems before she decided to go back a fourth time. 'Your butt's getting too big,' Kelley recalled telling her. 'But she got hooked on them booty shots,' she told the Dallas News.

Police issued arrest warrants on Wednesday on charges of practicing medicine without a license for Denise 'Wee Wee' Ross, 43, and Jimmy Clarke, 31, who also is known as Alicia. The body was found by Clarke at 7.50 a.m. and Reid's daughter, Keira, told police that her mother had booked a session to have 'butt injections' and that a woman who goes by the name of 'Wee Wee' and a transgender person were going to carry out the procedure. Clarke told police that she had no idea how Reid had died. She claims that Reid arrived at the business on February 18 complaining that she 'was not well and wanted to lay down', so she locked her in the building overnight and discovered her body when she returned in the morning. The Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office reported that it found injection marks and a silicone-type substance on Reid's buttocks, according to Wfaa.com. Reid's family are calling for the pair to be brought to justice. 'I want to see them on trial for murder,' said Keaira Reid, 20. 'I'm very mad because anybody could have called 911.' Wykesha Reid had always 'wanted a big booty' and the nursing home staffer had already gone to the salon three times for the injections without experiencing any problems before she decided to go back a fourth time . The death follows a complaint to police by a 27-year-old woman who said that she visited the salon on February 9 and paid $520 to have buttock injections, but ended up screaming in

With 40 per cent of British choosing not to go on holiday abroad in the past year, it makes sense that the latest host of a TV show being jetted off to exotic locations doesn't want to be there either. Research conducted for Channel 4's new magazine-style show Travel Man claims 40 per cent of Brits have either chosen to take their breaks within the UK or didn't want to go overseas this year. The same survey found 30 per cent of respondents, chosen to reflect a cross section of society, haven't left Britain for the past five years while one in 10 Brits have never been overseas . Travel Man host Richard Ayoade and his guest for the show's first episode, 48 Hours in Barcelona . A significant 40 per cent of Britons didn't go overseas for their holiday in the past year, says a survey . The stress of it all is a big reason for this say 31 per cent of the survey subjects, a sentiment Ayoade can relate to on his mission to make the most of his destinations without the hassle. In the four-part series Ayoade travels with a celebrity guest to Iceland, Istanbul, Marrakech and Barcelona, where his journey begins with similarly non-plussed traveller Kathy Burke. His other celebrity travel companions for subsequent episodes are comedian Adam Hills, actress Jessica Hynes and actor Stephen Mangan . Much like his other show Gadget Man's attitude to life in general, Travel Man aims to get the most he can out of a holiday in the least time. In Barcelona, Ayoade is particularly unimpressed by the museum at the home of Lionel Messi's Barcelona FC, the Nou Camp, owing to his total disinterest in football. The Channel 4 survey for Travel Man found that 31 per cent of people find the stress of holidays a deterrent . Despite walking being a perfectly effective way to get around the city, Ayoade opts for a Trixi pedicab tour to take in sights such as the Christopher Columbus Monument, Santa Maria Church, and the Nou Camp as efficiently as they can. To get to Barcelonetta beach, Richard goes for a cable car instead of going by car with Kathy. In Istanbul with Adam Hills, they go to the historic Hagia Sophia just before closing time to avoid the crowds and uses the Triposo app to ensure all the necessary information he needs is at his fingertips. Burke and Ayoade visit the Nou Camp, home to Barcelona FC, during the first episode of the new show . And to see as much of Marrakech as possible in a short period of time with Stephen Magain, Richard takes a hot-air balloon ride, use a compass-like trekking guide to find their way around the busy Souks and a currency converter app to aid with haggling. There is no short cut, however, when the pair appear to liven up during a Cava tasting - by actually tasting the famed Catalan sparkling wine. The show's survey found 80 per cent of Brits prefer to test out local

A popular YouTube beauty guru has come under fire from her viewers after she revealed that she uses her nursing friend's breast milk as a homeopathic remedy for combating eye infections . Jackie Aina, who runs the YouTube channel Makeup Game On Point, shared her bizarre trick for treating eye infections, including pink eye, in a recent video about her favorite beauty hacks - but not all of her 400,000 followers approved of her suggestion that people should put someone else's bodily fluid in their eyes. 'That hack can actually be very dangerous,' one of the video's 450 commenters wrote. 'Breast milk is a bodily fluid that can transmit many infections/diseases such as HIV, hepatitis, CMV, some Herpes viruses and more.' Strange cure: Beauty vlogger Jackie Aina from Makeup Game On Point revealed that she used her friend's breast milk to treat a recent eye infection . Beauty hack: Jackie can be seen demonstrating how she used a cotton swab to put three or four drops of breast milk in her eye per day until the infection was gone . The critic continued: 'Regardless of how close a friendship between you and a friend, you can never be fully aware of all the details of their medical history, so I would strongly advise against it.' In response, Jackie noted that she never suggested people should take breast milk from strangers. 'This was not at all some random chick I went to high school with,' she explained. 'The precautions are something everyone should take heed to but I definitely know better.' She continued: 'I care about my subscribers way too much to just put irresponsible information out there like that, however, if someone does not utilize good judgment on things like this it is not at the responsibility of the YouTuber.' But her explanation failed to convince her critics, with a second person adding: 'There has GOT TO be another option than breast milk... like come on.' 'Ummm of course there is another option than breast milk,' Jackie replied. 'But it works and is efficient.' And while her beauty trick may not have gone down well with all of her viewers, some of Jackie's fans were happy to defend her and her advice. Odd request: Jackie said she asked she asked her nursing friend for a small amount of her breast milk after she researched natural remedies on the internet . 'Come on people. Just stop with the "breast milk is a bodily fluid". I'm pretty sure most of us know that. These are just some tips that [Jackie] was trying to share with us from her experience,' one woman wrote. She added: 'You don't HAVE to do any of them. If you don't agree, then don't try any of them. Simple.' In the video, Jackie noted that it was an 'odd' form of treatment that she discovered when she found herself in a desperate situation. 'I am just a huge believer,' she said. 'The body is supposed to heal itself in some ways - in a lot of ways actually.' She continued:

Summary: Jackie Aina revealed her alleged cure for eye infections in a recent video about her favorite beauty hacks . Breast milk is also lauded for its supposed treatment of acne, eczema and other skin disorders . But commenters warned that using another woman's bodily fluid is dangerous because it can spread disease .


Mark Halsey, the controversial former elite referee who lost his role as a regular BT Sport pundit following Premier League upset, has had an invitation to speak to a regional referees association withdrawn following intervention from the highest level. Halsey was due to address the Sheffield Referee Association on how he beat cancer to continue as a top referee. But an objection from an unnamed football figure led to the national Referees Association persuading their Sheffield branch to embarrassingly cancel the appearance of Halsey, who was giving his services free. The email from Laura Ritchie, chairwoman of the RA, read: ‘A senior member of the footballing world has brought it to our attention that you have invited Mark Halsey to be a guest speaker. It is a worry that a figure who is being very negative about top-flight referees won’t send the right message to members. It may be perceived Sheffield RA agree with his viewpoint.’ Mark Halsey was invited to speak to the Sheffield Referee Association regarding his battle against cancer . However his planned appearance was cancelled after an unnamed football figure objected against the talk . Sheffield management then informed members: ‘There was an agreement that we cancel Mark after pressure from the national RA and the wider football world.’ And the Sheffield response to the RA said: ‘Our irritation at having been placed in this position cannot be underestimated. Are we saying that as referees, we are above criticism?’ FA refs chief David Elleray is president of the RA but on Monday night HE denied any involvement. However, Halsey’s strong views on a decline in refereeing standards is certainly born out by the widespread furore around their performances this season. BBC rugby co-commentator Brian Moore reacted to his perceived ‘snub’ at being one of the few TV pundits not included in ITV’s giant World Cup team by tweeting ‘I’ve been told I’m too controversial for TV World Cup coverage. Too c***, I could take but controversial, b*******.’ However, it wasn’t ITV who told Moore he is controversial. The network, happy to employ the more volatile Roy Keane as a football pundit, have had no contact with Moore. BBC rugby co-commentator Brian Moore vented his frustration at being snubbed by ITV on Twitter . Van Praag bid blunder . FIFA presidential candidate Michael van Praag says, if elected, he intends to cut costs — something he’s never heard mentioned during six years of dealings with Zurich, where figures are just plucked out of the air, he claimed. Van Praag will also declare what his FIFA salary would be and wants to know what Sepp Blatter has been paid. The Dutch football leader, who has a budget of €400,000 from his national association for his campaign, is also concerned at the way Fox TV were given the rights to the World Cup in 2026 without a tender to end their resistance to a World Cup in Qatar. Yet all Van Praag’s good intentions are undone by his open offer to Blatter, who he says could carry on as a working

An unnamed football figure objected which led to the national Referees association persuading their Sheffield branch to cancel the appearance .

Italian Interior Minister Angelino Alfano is set to push for migrant screening and processing centres in Africa, at meetings with his EU counterparts in Brussels . Italy is to outline proposals to fast-track African migrants and send them directly to EU countries including Britain. Italian Interior Minister Angelino Alfano is set to push for migrant screening and processing centres in Africa, at meetings with his EU counterparts in Brussels tomorrow. Mr Alfano claims that the migrant crisis should be tackled with refugee camps on African soil, where asylum seekers could be identified and then distributed evenly throughout European states. The minister’s proposals come as the EU border chief warned that there are up to a million migrants in Libya preparing to cross the Mediterranean. Italy, with its southernmost landfall just a 80km (49 miles) from Africa, is the first port of call for many seeking new lives in Europe. With Libya descending into ever-worsening chaos and lawlessness, almost 9,000 migrants arrived on Italian shores in January and February, up 43 per cent on last year’s record figures. Fabrice Leggeri director of EU border control Frontex said: ‘Our sources tell us there are anywhere between 500,000 to a million people ready to leave from Libya.’ ‘We have to be ready to address a more difficult situation than last year.’ With militias loyal to the Islamic State making frightening inroads in Libya, it is feared that jihadis could enter Europe by boat hidden among migrants. Minister Alfano, of the centre-right NCD party, said the solution has to be found in Africa: ‘We must resolve the problem at its origin. There are two paths, stabilise Libya and create refugee camps in . Africa so that the screening is done there, and those who have the right to asylum are identified with a balanced distribution between the European countries.’ He told Italian television La 7 in advance of the meeting that Libya has become ‘an international priority.’ ‘The camps would do a preventative screening,’ he said. ‘Who has refugee status would be distributed in a balanced way among various European countries, those who aren’t would not be given permission to leave.’ Italy is the first place many people arrive when seeking a new life in Europe. These migrants were rescued from the sea after the boat they were travelling in capsised . Three of the camps would be based in Niger, Tunisia and Sudan, according to Italian media reports. Natasha Bertaud, spokesman for the EU executive, said the plans were in an ‘orientation phase’ . She said the Commission was ‘aware that some member states are in discussions to develop centres in North . Africa and are in contact with the International Organisation for Migration and UNHCR about the possibility of developing centres for migrants to facilitate screening and logistics for the voluntary return of economic migrants, as well as identifying those who need help.’ A pilot project in Niger is under discussion, she said. Deploying liaison officers in third party countries is ‘a long term project’ she said. It is thought up to a million

Asylum seekers could then be identified and spread throughout Europe . Italy currently first port of call for those seeking a new life on the continent . Push comes amid warning up to a million Libyans willing to make crossing .


Buzz Aldrin, one of the first two men to walk on the moon, used one of the world's oldest monuments to send a message about the future of space exploration. The 85-year-old former NASA astronaut, who touched down on the moon in 1969 with Neil Armstrong, posted a picture on Twitter of himself in front of England's Stonehenge, wearing a T-shirt reading, 'Get your a** to Mars'. 'While at @EH_Stonehenge yesterday I decided to send a message to the cosmos,' he wrote on Tuesday, accompanying the photo. Buzz Aldrin posed in front of Stonehenge in a T-shirt reading, 'Get your a** to Mars' on Monday, claiming he was sending 'a message to the cosmos' Stonehenge, a prehistoric ring of standing stones, dates back to between 3,000 and 2,000 BC. Aldrin's picture is the last move in his campaign for the U.S. to focus on having human settlement on Mars. The veteran astronaut has written a series of columns stressing that space exploration should continue. Aldrin has stressed numerous times over the years that space exploration needs to continue and the U.S. needs to have a goal of settling on Mars . He wrote in CNN last year: 'The moment to begin could be on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11's touchdown on the moon. 'We can make a courageous, Kennedyesque commitment to America's future in deep space. 'The U.S. President could utter these momentous words: "I believe this nation should commit itself, within two decades, to commencing an America-led, permanent presence on the planet Mars."' In November of last year, he wrote a column for TIME, stressing that more people need to touch down in space. He wrote: 'I firmly believe we will establish permanence on that planet. And in reaching for that goal, we can cultivate commercial development of the moon, the asteroid belt, the Red Planet itself and beyond… . 'We need to look forward to countries around the globe following our lead and establishing a rotating permanence on Mars for science and commercial resources. 'Some 45 years ago, when Neil Armstrong and I stepped upon the surface of the moon at Tranquility Base, we fulfilled a dream held by humankind for centuries. 'Yes, it was one small step. Today, more steps are needed.” Aldrin holds his doctorate in astronautics and has consulted for the U.S. government on the future of space exploration.

Beer is one of the world's most ancient brews and has played an essential role in society - both for its nutritional and ritual importance - for millennia. Now, 5,000-year-old fragments of pottery used by ancient Egyptians to make beer, have been discovered on a building site in Tel Aviv, Israel. The pottery shards come from large ceramic basins, which were used to prepare fruity beer that was left to ferment under the sun. Scroll down for video . ‘Among the hundreds of pottery shards (pictured) that characterise the local culture, a number of fragments of large ceramic basins were discovered that were made in an Egyptian tradition and were used to prepare beer,’ Dr Barkan said . Diego Barkan, of the Israeli Antiquities Authority, said that 17 pits were found that had been used to store produce in the Early Bronze Age, from 3,500 to 3,000 BC. Beer was the favourite drink of humans and gods in ancient Egypt. It was also drank by rich and poor, adults and children. This was because it was cleaner than water, which came from a river or canal and was often polluted. Beer was considered as staple, along with bread, Reshafim.org reported. Workers were paid with bread, oil, beer and vegetables by their employers. The standard ration was two jars containing three-and-a-half pints (two litres) of beer. Just like today, the Egyptians liked their beer cooled and kept jars in water. ‘Among the hundreds of pottery shards that characterise the local culture, a number of fragments of large ceramic basins were discovered that were made in an Egyptian tradition and were used to prepare beer,’ he said in a statement. The vessels were made with ‘straw temper’ and other organic material to strengthen them – a method which was not in local potteries. The excavation is the first to offer evidence of an ‘Egyptian occupation’ in the centre of Tel Aviv 5,000 years ago. As well as the basins, a bronze dagger and 6,000-year-old flint tools were uncovered. Dr Barken said: ‘This is also the northernmost evidence we have of an Egyptian presence in the early Bronze Age. ‘Until now we were only aware of an Egyptian presence in the northern Negev and southern coastal plain, whereby the northernmost point of Egyptian occupation occurred in Azor. Fragments of pottery that are around 5,000 years old and were used by ancient Egyptians to make beer, have been discovered on a building site in Tel Aviv. Here, Diego Barkan holds the basin parts . Employees of the Israel Antiquities Authority(pictured) work at the site in Tel Aviv where fragments of pottery used by ancient Egyptians have been discovered.

It is known as El Caminito del Rey (the King's little pathway) and was a popular challenge for adventurers until five people lost their lives while taking on the path between 1999 and 2000. But 14 years after it was closed due to safety fears, the famous walkway - known as the most dangerous in the world - is set to reopen to the public. The narrow gorge in the province of Malaga, El Caminito del Rey is a precarious walkway that rises over 100 metres (328ft) above the river below. The original trail was built to provide construction workers with access to hydroelectric power plants in Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls . The pathway has been reinforced with an extra security fence and is now entirely safe for the public to use . The trail was built to provide construction workers with access to hydroelectric power plants in Chorro Falls and Gaitanejo Falls between 1901 and 1905. And it earned its royal name after it was crossed by King Alfonso XIII, who went to attend the opening ceremony of the dam Conde del Guadalhorce in 1921. But after five people lost their lives negotiating the pathway between 1999 and 2000, the authorities were forced to close it in 2001. After that the walkway fell into disrepair and people were ordered to stay clear of it with a €6,000 maximum fine for trespassers the deterrent. The pathway was shut in 2001 after five people lost their lives while negotiating it between 1999 and 2000 . The walkers can be seen wearing hardhats as they make their way across the newly renovated trail . However, after an extensive €2.8 million restoration it was recently reopened to the press and will officially open to the public on March 28. A joint effort by the regional government of Andalusia and the local government of Malaga, who shared the costs of the renovation, the project has retained much of the walkway’s original features. The pathway has also been reinforced with an extra security fence and despite offering up some dizzying views is entirely safe. The €2.8 million restoration cost was split between the regional government of Andalusia and the local government of Malaga . King Felipe is said to be among the first guests preparing to negotiaite the rennovated path . In the video walkers can be seen wearing hard hats as they clutch the newly installed handrails on their way along the trail. A cave is also incorporated into the path, and walkers can be seen entering and exiting it via a set of stairs. The walk will be free to enjoy for the first six months before a small fee is brought in thereafter. King Felipe is due to be among the first guests to take a walk along the renovated path. Tickets for the dangerous walk will initially be free for the first six months before a small fee is brought in . 'The world's most dangerous walk' offers panoramic views of Malaga and rises over 100 metres above the river below .

Summary: Video shows the renovated narrow gorge in the province of Malaga, set to open to the public this month . Extra security fencing offers protection against the dizzying height above the river . Will officially reopen to the public after fourteen years on March 28 but dates back to 1901 .

Six months after a machete was carved into his thigh, Kell Brook finds himself in a situation where he has to walk like he talks. The fact that he is walking at all is a measure of progress, considering the damage caused during the vicious assault he suffered on holiday in Tenerife last September. But the greater question, and one that has lingered since his condition was no longer deemed life-threatening, centres on what kind of fighter will return to the ring. The answer will finally come on Saturday, when the 28-year-old faces Jo Jo Dan, a tough Romanian who is mandatory challenger for the IBF welterweight world title Brook brilliantly won weeks before he was assaulted. Kell Brook is ready to return to the ring against Jo Jo Dan just six months after he suffered a machete attack . Brook showed off the scar on his thigh from the attack (left) before putting in more hours ahead of his return . Brook feared on the night of the attack that he would die, or that he would be unable to walk ever again . 'I went from being on top of the world to the bottom of the ocean,' was how Brook put it in an interview with Sportsmail last September, his first since the attack. Then, like now, Brook's outlook was dominated by fighting talk and attempts at positive thinking. On Thursday, he says physical testing at his gym in Sheffield shows he is 'getting the same, if not better results, than for the Shawn Porter fight' in which he won the belt. But boxing is a hype industry. And one memory from that initial conversation in his parents' living room is of a subdued fighter revealing that a doctor had recently told him the numbness in his left thigh — pieced together by 38 staples — might never fully go away. Dan has earned his shot at Brook after becoming the mandatory challenger for his IBF world title . Until he steps into the ring in front of Sky's cameras, only Brook himself truly knows if there is any residual physical consequence of the attack, after which he left a trail of blood across a holiday resort before collapsing unconscious and being rushed to hospital for emergency surgery. 'I don't have any problems,' he said ahead of Friday's weigh-in. 'I look down and see a scar and that's about it, really. But I remember, when I woke up in hospital in Tenerife, no-one had come to see me yet and I was looking down at the leg. There were drips in each arm. I just thought, 'Two weeks ago I was top of the world and now I am in a hospital bed after major surgery'. I can remember thinking, 'This is horrific'. There were all these staples in it holding it together and I thought it was like a shark attack. I was lucky to be alive. 'I couldn't even walk up the stairs to get on the plane back to England. But here we are.' Brook at

Summary: Kell Brook was the victim of a machete attack in Tenerife in September . Six months after the attack, Brook is getting ready to face Jo Jo Dan . The pair will clash for the IBF welterweight world title on Saturday . READ: Brook has shown the heart of a lion... no one has seen the struggle he went through after he was stabbed .

Laura Dowling, who had overseen flower decorations at the White House for six years, ended her employment with no notice according to sources with 'close ties to current residence staffers' Despite leaving the White House more than a month ago, official confirmation of the chief floral designer's unexpected departure has only just emerged. Laura Dowling, who had overseen flower decorations for events such as official state dinners for six years, ended her employment with no notice according to sources with 'close ties to current residence staffers'. Dowling 'was escorted from the building' on February 13, reports The Washington Post. In the wake of the Post's revelation and coming almost six weeks after Dowling's departure, the White House released a statement on Tuesday in which it praised her 'lively and colorful' creations, which reflected the 'historic rooms which they graced.' 'As chief florist, Laura Dowling and her team treated guests of the White House to their beautiful floral arrangements,' read a statement issued by Michelle Obama's office on Tuesday. 'Ms Dowling's creations were always lively and colorful, reflecting not only the season but the unique and historic rooms which they graced. 'No two arrangements were ever the same and each one left guests with a lasting impression of the elegance and history of the People's House. We are grateful for her contribution over the years and wish her well.' Within an hour of the first lady's official confirmation, Dowling also felt compelled to release a statement about her sudden departure weeks before. 'After almost six years as Chief Floral Designer at the White House, I have resigned in order to pursue exciting new opportunities and explore my passion for floral artistry and design,' said Dowling in a statement issued by heavyweight law firm Sidley Austin. The first lady's office released a statement on Tuesday which praised the work of florist Laura Dowling who had unexpectedly departed her post more than a month before . 'Over the next few weeks and months, I'll be launching a new platform for my work as an author, speaker, instructor and design consultant that builds on the creative ideas and partnerships I've formed during my tenure there. 'It's been such an honor to work at the White House and I will always be grateful for this incredible opportunity.' But Dowling's unexpected departure and the sudden release of two statements more than a month later has prompted speculation that all was not well between Dowling and the first lady. Several unnamed floral designers who continue to provide bouquets to the White House told the Post that Dowling left because her 'fussy style' wasn't in keeping with the first lady's desire for a modern and clean aesthetic. When Dowling was first appointed she was highly regarded for her organic and less formal 'French look,' but now that seems to have fallen out of favor at the White House. Just days before the florist's departure, the Old Family Dining Room had been re-opened after being refurbished by the First Lady to showcase modern art and design, according to the White House

Usain Bolt is putting in the hard yards ahead of a busy summer on the track as he builds up to the world championships in Beijing, as shown in his latest post of his training regime on social media. Six-time Olympic champion Bolt posted a glimpse of his training progress at his base in Jamaica on Instagram on Thursday with footage of a block start in slow motion. Bolt explodes out of the blocks in the baking sun and drives a few steps before slowing up in the post accompanied by an inspiration quote from one of his heroes Mohammad Ali. Usain Bolt gets primed for a starting drill during training in Jamaica ahead of a busy summer of competition . 'I hated every minute of training, but I said, “Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion”,' Bolt’s social media profile said with the vine video. After missing the majority of last season due to injury, the 100 and 200 metre world record holder is leaving nothing to chance in 2015. He’s locked in dates in Paris where he’ll run in the 100m on July 4 and the following week at the Athletissima Diamond League in Switzerland where he’ll compete in the 200m. The later event is one which hold special significance for Bolt who has said he’s keen to attack the elusive 19 second mark – his world mark stands at 19.19. The six-time Olympic gold medalist explodes out of the blocks in this Instagram post on Thursday . Bolt posted the video on social media with a quote he could relate to from boxing great Muhammed Ali . In an interview with Sportsmail’s Matt Lawton last month Bolt outlined his aim to become the ‘greatest sportsman ever’ and emulate his heroes including Ali, Michael Jordan and Michael Johnson, whose 200m mark he overtook. His major target in the short-term is the world championships in Beijing in in August. But Rio de Janeiro and his bid to win a third consecutive treble in the 100m, 200m and 4x100 relay is the holy grail. Just – and in Bolt’s case it is just – winning a third 100m title would put him in the history books.

Summary: Sprint superstar Usain Bolt posted short video on social media . Six-time Olympic gold medallist is training for a busy 2015 summer . His post included a Muhammed Ali quote about suffering for success . Bolt is already confirmed to run in France and Switzerland in July .

A double murderer and two other convicted killers have been granted clemency by Indonesian President Joko Widodo, while two of the Bali Nine ringleaders remain on death row and could be executed within weeks. Soon after Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were denied clemency, Dwi Trisna Firmansyah had his death sentence reduced to life. The 28-year-old was one of three killers involved in the robbery and planned murder of a shop owner and his son in April 2012, The Jakarta Post reported. This week, a senior source from the Indonesian presidential palace told ABC an additional two murderers had had their death sentences overturned by Mr Joko. Scroll down for video . Dwi Trisna Firmansyah has had his death sentence for murder reduced after Indonesian President Joko Widodo showed mercy . A 'sadistic' murderer and two other men have been granted clemency in Indonesia, while Australian convicted drug traffickers Andrew Chan (right) and Myuran Sukumaran (left) remain on death row . The pair may be waiting months for their execution as other prisoners pursue lengthy appeals . Indonesia's Foreign Ministry spokesman Arrmanatha Nasir said the granting of clemency was the prerogative of the president, and that drugs had a wider impact than people may realise. 'Indonesia as nation is not taking pleasure in punishing anyone with the death penalty,' he said. On April 16, 2012, Firmansyah and two other men broke into a man's shop and hit him over the head with a wooden bat while he was taking part in his morning prayer. When the man's son tried to come to his father's aid he was also killed, News Corp reported. They stole a car, two motorcycles, 12 mobile phones, phone vouchers and cash. The three men were sentenced to death in September 2012, but on Friday Firmansyah's lawyer Asep Ruhiat was notified of Mr Joko's decision to grant him clemency. Their appeal to the Supreme Court earlier this year failed, but Firmansyah was then shown mercy amid the Indonesian President's tirade against convicted drug smugglers. President Widodo (left) has adopted a hardline approach to drug smugglers but has spared murderer Firmansyah mercy, reducing his death sentence to life behind bars . This comes after it was revealed Chan and Sukumaran could have their executions delayed for months as other death row inmates take on lengthy court appeals. It has been revealed by the Indonesian attorney-general Muhammad Prasetyo that the execution of the Bali nine duo will take place at the same time as several other foreigners on death row. This could delay the pair's execution as all avenues of legal appeal for the other eight convicted drug offenders must be exhausted before their death sentence can be carried out. The Indonesian Governor-General has said the death row inmates will be executed 'simultaneously' Myuran Sukumaran, left, and Andrew Chan, right, will be put through an 'assimilation' process as they prepare to face the firing squad . This means Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran may have months to wait before they face the firing squad. Mr Prasetyo also claims the death row

Summary: Three convicted killers have been granted clemency by Indonesia . Dwi Trisna Firmansyah was one of three people to break into a shop and kill the owner and his son in 2012 . They were sentenced to death but granted clemency last week . The President's show of mercy comes as Australian Bali nine duo Andrew Chan Myuran Sukumaran remain on death row for drug smuggling . President Joko Widodo has refused to reduce the death sentence to life in jail . They were recently transferred to Nusakambangan but may have to wait for weeks as fellow prisoners' appeals are heard .


Glasses might be helpful for improved vision, but a new type are being tested that allow wearers to be invisible in unwanted photographs. Invisibility Glasses by AVG, a software security company, were designed in a bid to help protect people's online identities in the digital age. With the increased use of cell phone cameras in public, the glasses makes it difficult to capture a person's identity in facial recognition software, for example the kind used on Facebook. Invisibility Glasses by AVG, a software security company, were created in a bid to help protect people's online identities in the digital age. With the increased use of cell phone cameras in public, the glasses make it difficult to capture a person's identity in facial recognition software, for example the kind used on Facebook . The glasses, through the use of infrared light and retro-reflective materials, blocks attempts to get a clear facial capture of the wearer, developers claim . The wearable technology, which does not hide the rest of the person's body, debuted on Sunday at technology showcase Pepcom in Barcelona, according to Gizmodo. The developers of the privacy glasses, AVG Innovation Labs, said that with the advancement in facial recognition technologies like Facebook's DeepFace system, they began investigating how technology can be used when it comes to securing online privacy. DeepFace will be able to determine whether two captured faces are of the same person with 97.25 per cent accuracy. And this coupled with other advancements left developers questioning how to combat privacy. The glasses, through the use of infrared LED light and retro-reflective materials, block a clear facial capture of the wearer, developers claim. The retro-reflective materials on the glasses are designed to reflect light back at the same angle as it arrived - which is useful only during flash photography (above how retro-reflective materials work on the glasses) The infrared lights, placed around the eyes and nose areas of the glasses, breaks facial detection software. However, a drawback is that some cellphone camera sensors have infrared filters that are capable of cutting off any wavelengths beyond the visible spectrum. Through the use of infrared light and retro-reflective materials, the glasses are designed to protects people's online identities. 1) Infrared LED lights: They are completely invisible to human eyes, and are only detectable by cameras which are sensitive to the wavelengths of these lights. 2) Retro-reflective materials: They are claimed to help maintain privacy at the moment that the image is actually taken. While most surfaces reflect light by diffusing or scattering it in all directions, retro-reflective materials are specially designed to reflect light back at the same angle as it arrived - which is useful during flash photography. Above, an illustration for how retro-reflective materials in the glasses work . Source: AVG . The retro-reflective materials on the glasses are designed to reflect light back at the same angle as it arrived - which is useful only during flash photography. Tanweer Ali, Senior Developer at AVG's Innovation Labs, said that they designed the glasses after exploring the increasing risks of privacy

A woman who fled with her son while fighting to prevent his circumcision will face imprisonment if she doesn't return and allow the surgery to proceed, a judge ruled Friday. In a stinging rebuke of the mother, Heather Hironimus, Circuit Judge Jeffrey Gillen said she had successfully dragged out a legal battle and was 'reprehensible' for going missing with the boy and for conduct that has put the 4-year-old in a public spotlight 'making him an object of curiosity and worse'. He found her in contempt and demanded she appear in court on Tuesday with the child or he would command police to find her. Circuit Judge Jeffrey Gillen said on Friday that Heather Hironimus could escape jail if she appears before him on Tuesday with the child . She will only avoid jail on the contempt charge, Gillen said, if she signs paperwork necessary to schedule the procedure that she initially agreed to in a legal document. 'This child has been placed in a light that provides much too much scrutiny for a little boy,' the judge said. 'I blame no one but the mother for that.' It was the latest dramatic turn in a case nearly as old as the boy himself, and one that has become a rallying cry for 'intactivists,' the circumcision opponents who say removing the foreskin is barbaric. Though Hironimus gave her blessing to circumcision in the parenting plan she reached with the boy's father, Dennis Nebus of Boca Raton, she later changed her mind, leading to a long court battle. Circuit and appellate judges have sided with the father. The father has called circumcision 'just the normal thing to do.' The mother said it's not worth the risks. After Hironimus, of Boynton Beach, refused to sign papers to allow the circumcision and after protesters spotlighted the case, potential surgeons have backed out of circumcising the boy. Both Nebus and the boy's doctors have received death threats. Meantime, the mother has stoked the protests and publicity, despite a court order not to, said May Cain, an attorney for the father, who appeared in court. 'She's willing to flee with him and plaster him all over the Internet and do anything she can,' Nebus said. 'She's stated that she's going to do everything that she can to stop it.' Nebus said he has not seen his son since Feb. 19. Thomas Hunker, the attorney for Hironimus, said he did not know where his client was. After the hearing, Hunker said 'We're concerned for the child's wellbeing and emotional condition.' Though circumcision rates have fallen in the U.S., a majority of boys still undergo the procedure, though a bubbling movement against it has developed. The CDC says medical evidence shows benefits clearly outweigh risks, and that circumcision can lower a male's risk of sexually transmitted diseases, penile cancer and urinary tract infections. Protesters in December in Florida, who are known as 'intactivists' have made the four-year-old's case their cause celebre and organized a series of protests .

Summary: Heather Hironimus could escape jail if she appears before a judge on Tuesday with the child . The four-year-old boy's father, Dennis Nebus, testified he last saw his son on February 19 . The parents, who never married, agreed to a circumcision in a legal document, but the mother changed her mind, opening a bitter legal battle . The father has previously said he believes circumcision is 'just the normal thing to do'

It is one of the most toxic substances known to man and has been used to poison kings, emperors and even prize winning racehorses. But scientists have discovered one small population of people living in a remote part of the Andes in north west Argentina who have developed some resistance to arsenic. They have found that over thousands of years the local inhabitants there have developed a genetic ability to metabolise the arsenic to reduce the impact it has on their bodies. Local women in San Antonio de los Cobres in the Andes (pictutred above) carry a genetic variant that gives them greater tolerance of the poison arsenic by helping them to metabolise the element more efficiently . Worldwide arsenic poisoning caused by contaminated water and food is thought to harm more than 137 million people. Even low levels of arsenic poisoning can cause damage to the lungs, heart, kidneys and liver, leading to cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Napoleon Bonaparte’s mysterious death has generated a host of murder conspiracy theories over the years. The Emperor was said to have died from stomach cancer. The physician who led the autopsy found evidence of a stomach ulcer but some people said it was the most convenient explanation for the British, who wanted to avoid criticism over their care of the Emperor. Napoleon's father died of stomach cancer. In 1955 the diaries of the leader's valet were published, which included the description of bed-bound Napoleon months before his death. Based on the description, scientists put forward other theories as to why he died - which included arsenic poisoning. Arsenic was used as a poison during the era because it was undetectable when administered over a long period. It was noted in a later book that Napoleon's body was found to be remarkably well preserved when moved in 1840 and arsenic is a preservative. In 2007 a toxicologist said he found mineral arsenic in napoleon's hair shafts, which supported the theory that he was murdered. The wallpaper used in the emperors bedroom on St Helena also contained high levels of arsenic compound used by British manufacturers as a dye. It has been suspected that if the wallpaper got hot it might have emitted the poisonous gas arsine, but other scientists think the poison would have had to be consumed internally - or that the leader really did die of cancer. In higher doses it can damage the immune system, trigger bleeding, convulsions and eventually coma and death. However, people living in the sparsely populated area around San Antonio de los Cobres, a village high in the Andes in the Puna region of Argentina, appear to have developed a way of dealing with the poison more effectively. For close to 11,000 years the indigenous population there, who are descended from the Atacameños people, have been drinking water contaminated with arsenic. Dr Karin Broberg, a researcher in environmental medicine at Lunds University in Sweden, and her colleagues found that some time between 7,000 and 10,000 years ago, the local populations in the region underwent some genetic changes

Summary: Locals in San Antonio de los Cobres, Argentina have resistance to poison . Their water supply is contaminated with arsenic 20 times level deemed safe . Scientists at Lund University in Sweden conducted genetic tests on locals . Inhabitants were found to have genetic variation that metabolises arsenic . The villages can still be poisoned by high levels but can tolerate low levels . Arsenic poisoning is thought to harm more than 137 million people globally .


A damning new report has uncovered a string of safety concerns and examples of poor hygiene at homeless shelters across New York City that in many cases have people living in conditions little better than what they would find on the street. The Department of Homeless Services spends $360 million a year housing nearly 12,000 homeless families with children in largely privately-run shelters described as decrepit and dangerous in the Department of Investigation report released on Thursday. 'At its worst, DHS is turning a blind eye to violations that threaten the lives of shelter residents,' the report said, calling for repairs, stiffer inspections and new mechanisms to compel fixes. The shocking findings included one family of six living in a homeless-shelter apartment where a dead rat festered on the floor for two days (stock photo) The shocking findings included one family of six living in a homeless-shelter apartment where a dead rat festered on the floor for two days. Another family had no living-room furniture and had been without electricity for days. At a different homeless family shelter, a puddle of urine soiled the floor of the only working elevator. And at yet another, one stairway was so treacherously rusted that inspectors ordered guards to block access to it until it was repaired. To make matter worse, all those buildings are part of a system in which the department is often paying well above neighborhood market rates for apartments. The homeless services agency said it had already axed some unacceptable apartments from the system, stepped up inspections and asked for money to hire 19 new inspection staffers, among other steps. While that's progress, 'much work still needs to be done,' Department of Investigation Commissioner Mark Peters said in a statement. New York City is legally obligated to provide shelter to all homeless people and has long grappled with how to house them. The Auburn Family Residence in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. In February 2014 Mayor de Blasio announced that he was removing hundreds of children from it after inspectors repeatedly cited deplorable living conditions . The problem has grown more acute as the numbers of people seeking shelter rose from an average of about 39,000 a night in the start of 2010 to over 60,000 this past November, according to the most recent data the nonprofit Coalition for the Homeless has gathered from city agencies. Conditions in some family homeless shelters were bleakly spotlighted in December 2013, when The New York Times profiled an 11-year-old girl who lived amid mice, rotting walls and communal bathrooms in a Brooklyn shelter that no longer houses children. Mayor Bill de Blasio took office the next month and asked for an investigation. In February 2014 de Blasio announced that he was removing over 400 children from two city-owned homeless shelters - the Auburn Family Residence in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and from the Catherine Street shelter in Lower Manhattan - that inspectors had repeatedly cited for deplorable conditions. Investigators inspected 25 of the over 140 family shelters last spring and summer. They range from converted hospitals and schools

Four years later, they launched ASOS with £2.4million, mostly borrowed from friends and family. The duo's original idea was to help customers track down the clothes and furniture seen on TV. Nick explained: 'We read a stat back in 1999 that when the programme Friends aired, NBC got 4,000 calls about some standard lamp in one of their apartments asking where it could be purchased. So that was the real idea behind the business.' They poached buyer Lorri Penn from Sir Philip Green’s Arcadia to help them get in touch with what customers wanted and focused solely on celebrity fashion by selling near-matches of what stars were wearing. By 2003, ASOS was already in profit and had launched its own label.

After feasting on too many fermented crabapples, a drunk squirrel has been filmed struggling to escape a snowy American backyard.

Several attempts to charge up the hill end in failure - leaving the resilient rodent lying flat on his back gazing up at the branches he fell from earlier. He seems to have found a solution to his never-ending escape attempt when he targets a different region of the snow to the left - but several more attempts also end in failure. In a sober state, the squirrel may simply have strolled around the fence which ended just a few feet to the right. The shaky footage has gone viral since being uploaded to Live Leak and YouTube where it has already gained tens of thousands of hits.

A London-based property agency is promising to find those seeking a house-share the perfect flatmate, with just two small conditions woven into their contracts; they must be young...and they must be rich. The owner of Capital Living, based in the city's South-West, Adam Goff, describes his unique flat-sharing process as 'a selective living community for people who want to meet new people' which might translate as 'hooking you up with posh flatmates, but only if you're posh yourself'. Indeed Goff, 30, offers more than just a room in one of his 22 properties, mostly Victorian terraces in places such as Clapham, Balham and Fulham. A room to rent with 'cool friends' as part of the package: Adam Goff, 30, founder of Capital Living aims to hook up 'young and rich' professionals in his flatshares across South West London . Do you come here often? All of the Capital Living properties come with open-plan kitchens to encourage flatmates to chat more freely . For an average flat-fee of £1,050 a month, tenants can rest assured that their fellow flat-sharers will be somewhere between the ages of 21 to 39 with a flourishing career, often in the City, and a definite predisposition for partying. Those who have seen the lives of London's richest youngsters in hit television show Made in Chelsea are looking for something similar but don't always know how to get it, says Goff. He told the Times newspaper: 'I don’t think you have to be posh to deal with us, but young and rich is probably a fair assessment.' The owner describes the set-up as a 'social experience' and says young professionals in London often need 'someone to sit and watch TV with, go for a beer with, have a takeaway with' when they get home from a hard day at the office. Each property comes with a gas barbecue and a communal kitchen space. The company treats potential tenants - or 'members' as they call them - as if they were looking for a membership at an exclusive club such as Soho House with couples banned for fear of killing a flat's sociable atmosphere. They face an interview process at the company's Clapham offices to see whether they 'would fit with our community'. Welcome to the community! Capital Living founder Adam Goff regularly throws parties for new tenants. The photo above shows 'members' during a night out at London's Kensington Roof Gardens . A cartoon on the company's website tells the story of how Mr Goff was inspired to start his flat-share company by a miserable, friendless experience when he first moved to London from Birmingham . Going solo: Couples are banned from renting rooms in the houses for fear they'll dampen the party mood .

A brilliant scientist killed herself under a train because she was worried she was a bad mother to her two young children, an inquest has heard. Sarah Bradley had a successful career as a chemist at a pharmaceutical firm, but she struggled with bi-polar disorder. The 43-year-old mother told one of her son's friends that she was a 'bad person', and claimed that the boys - both aged under 12 - would be 'better off without her'. In September last year, she failed to show up for dinner with her estranged husband Adrian, and her body was later found next to the railway tracks near her home in Boxford, Berkshire. Mr Bradley told the inquest in Newbury that he had often tried to reassure his wife about her parenting skills, but she refused to accept it. He said: 'Sarah would constantly say she was a terrible mother, people like her shouldn't have children and the children would be better off without her. She had constant feelings of inadequacy as a mother. 'When she wasn't in a low mood she was the life and soul, she was a wonderful person.' The inquest heard that Mr Bradley had raised concerns about his wife's mental state, but she was discharged early from a mental health unit and doctors failed to record her husband's warnings. The couple, who both had doctorates first got together in 1995, and were married in 2001. They moved to Boxford after Mrs Bradley completed her chemistry PhD at Bristol University and started working for Bayer, a multi-national pharmaceutical company. However, they separated in February last year after Mrs Bradley's bouts of depression became more and more severe. The inquest was told that the pair had been due to meet up for dinner with their children on the day that she died, and that she may have chosen this moment to kill herself because she knew her sons were safe with their father. When she did not turn up Mr Bradley rushed around to the family home where he found her keys in the front door, her car missing and 14 letters arranged on the dining room table addressed to friends and family. Her body was found by police two miles away. The afternoon before, she had tearfully told a schoolgirl who was friends with her sons: 'You are good people and I'm a bad person. Make sure you look after [the boys] for me.' Mrs Bradley's family claimed that her husband had driven her to her death by subjecting her to 'emotional abuse', the inquest heard. In a statement her sister Rosie Mclauchlan, said she believed that Mr Bradley's behaviour 'contributed significantly' to his wife's depression, adding: 'Adrian told Sarah constantly that she was mentally ill.' But coroner Peter Bedford said that this was 'at best an over-simplification of the situation', adding: 'Sarah herself conceded in conversation that some of her expressed views had been delusional.' Work: Mrs Bradley was a chemist at pharmaceutical firm Bayer, whose headquarters in Newbury are pictured . Asked about the allegations, Mr Bradley said: 'From

Ed Miliband will 'pick your pocket on a frequent basis' because he won't cut benefit spending, David Cameron claimed today. The Prime Minister said he 'made no apology' for claims that Labour would increase taxes on working families by more than £3,000 over the next five years – despite the Tory estimate being criticised by economists and dismissed as 'made up' by Labour. But Mr Cameron refused to say how he would deliver £12billion in savings from the welfare budget which he has claimed are needed to avoid tax rises. David Cameron this morning accused Labour of planning to 'pick you pocket' if they are elected in May . On the first full day of campaigning, the PM said Labour was planning to hike taxes on businesses on families to reduce the deficit instead of making savings from government spending. It came as Labour risked a new clash with business by pledging to reverse the Government's cut in corporation tax just weeks after it is due to come into effect. Shadow chancellor Ed Balls said the move would enable them to throw a lifeline to smaller firms - cutting business rates on 1.5 million small firms - rather than the big companies which benefit from the reduction in corporation tax. But the Conservatives warned that it could lead to the loss of almost 100,000 jobs, putting economic security at risk, 'for the sake of making a political point'. Mr Cameron meanwhile promised that the Conservatives would help business create another two million jobs over the course of the next parliament if they are returned to Downing Street. The PM said the election was 'a choice about whether you want a government that will find savings and not pick your pocket or with Labour a government that will pick your pocket, I think, on a pretty frequent basis.' The Institute for Fiscal Studies yesterday challenged Mr Cameron's claim of a £3,000 tax hike under Labour, saying the party's plans did not suggest a rise of anything like that scale and that Conservative plans implied a larger overall package of spending cuts or tax rises. Ed Miliband has accused the Tories of using 'made up figures' Asked about the £3,000 figure, the Prime Minister told the BBC: 'I think it's a totally fair assumption. If Labour want to come forward now and change the assumptions and set out their own assumptions, then they can. 'But in the meantime, the best calculation available is the one that we have made.' Mr Cameron was repeatedly pressed over Tory plans to save £12 billion from the welfare budget, as part of an overall £30 billion cuts package. Asked whether he could rule out achieving some of the savings from cuts in disability benefits, he told the BBC that the coalition had just introduced a new Personal Independence Payment, adding: 'We haven't created that benefit in order to undermine it. We want to enhance it and safeguard it.' He added: 'Politics is about choices and my choice - and I think the British people's choice - is to

Summary: Mr Cameron said he 'made no apology' for claims Labour would hike taxes . The Tories were criticised yesterday over claims taxes would rise £3,000 . But the PM refused to say how he would deliver the £12bn from welfare .

The trivia buff correctly answered '1860' but said it left like a 'lifetime' before the big green tick rolled around, signalling a triumphant end to an extremely nerve-racking month. As his wife of 19 years, Jenny, joined him on stage for his winning moment on Friday afternoon, Mr Skarbek, from Hawthorn, Victoria, said although it would 'take a while to sink in', all he felt was overwhelming relief. ‘It’s incredible! I think at this stage it’s more relief than anything seeing as it's been such a long process,‘ Mr Skarbek said. He admitted it's been a 'hard slog' but he relished the challenge and knew he wanted to take it all the way. 'It's about more than the money now. It's about proving to myself that I can do it,' he said. Being the curious man he is Mr Skarbek said if he walked away with the smaller jackpots of $500,000 or $750,000, he would never have stopped wondering if he could have made it to the million. ‘I know I could have lived with taking the risk. If you’re prepared and back yourself, you can live with loosing.' He was adamant that not knowing that would have eaten him alive. Mr Skarbek was quick to recognise he wasn't alone on his million dollar journey, crediting his wife for supporting and coaching him through the month long adventure. 'She would

Tom Ince has told Gareth Southgate that he does not want to play for England Under 21s. The 23-year-old – currently on loan at Derby County from Hull City - has 18 caps for the young Three Lions and has been a key part of the set-up under Southgate. But Ince, after a discussion with dad Paul, has decided he no longer wants to be considered for selection, ruling him out of this summer’s European Championships in Czech Republic. Tom Ince has been left out of the latest England Under 21 squad by Gareth Southgate at his own request . Ince, currently on loan at Derby County, has been a regular under Southgate but will now not be selected . Southgate said: ‘I have had discussions with Tom and his dad over the last week or so and he has decided he does not want to be considered for the Under 21s. ‘I have to say I was surprised. He has obviously been a regular for us all the way through the campaign. But he feels at this moment in time he has got some priorities at club level. There is some uncertainty about where he is going to be at club level next season.’ Ince has had a whirlwind year in club football, moving from Blackpool to Hull City in a deal that involved a drawn-out £2million compensation case between the two clubs. It even looked like Ince could have moved abroad at one point with his father's former club Inter Milan said to have shown interest. He has since been on loan at Nottingham Forest and Derby in the Championship. Southgate was told that Ince did not want to be selected and sought clarification from the player and his father . Ince challenges for the ball with Middlesbrough's Lee Tomlin during Tuesday's top-of-the-table clash . Southgate was speaking at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium after announcing his squad for the forthcoming friendlies with Czech Republic and Germany. He has, of course, lost Harry Kane to the senior squad, but hopes to have the Spurs striker available for the Euros. ‘Myself and Roy (Hodgson) are constantly talking about that and he’s made it clear we’re able to pick any players who are eligible,' he added. ‘One or two have been up to senior team but haven’t yet established themselves. It’s nice to have them back in the fold. ‘It’s great that Harry has gone up this time – it sends a message to the rest of the squad that the pathway is there.' Southgate cannot call on Harry Kane as he is in the senior squad but the boss wants him back for the Euros . Southgate was delighted to see one of his young players reach the senior squad, showing the side's progress .
