Couple: Becky Tait, 20, stepped in front of a train on the same stretch of tracks where her boyfriend Phil James, 19, did the same two months earlier . A heartbroken girlfriend killed herself at the same spot where her boyfriend committed suicide weeks earlier after struggling to come to terms with his death, an inquest heard today. Becky Tait, 20, stepped in front of a speeding train on the same tracks where her boyfriend Phil James, 19, had stood two months earlier. The care assistant from Stoke-on-Trent had been distraught after his death and was struggling to cope with her loss, Cannock Coroner’s Court in Staffordshire was told. Miss Tait went to the tracks where she died last November - where her ‘soul mate’ Mr James had died in September. Witnesses said she looked on ‘purposefully’ at the passenger train, which braked but struck her - causing multiple injuries. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Miss Tait had already tried to kill herself a month after Mr James’s death by taking an overdose, the inquest was told. She was kept in hospital for five days where she told mental health nurses she was unable to cope with the death of her boyfriend. Miss Tait was discharged in October and put into the care of her grandparents, but she killed herself one month later. Margaret Jones, deputy assistant coroner for Staffordshire South, recorded a verdict of suicide. She said: ‘Becky Tait was a very young lady who was clearly traumatised by the death of her boyfriend. She was a very unhappy lady. ‘She clearly had been since the death of her boyfriend some weeks ago in similar circumstances. She had made some progress since being discharged from hospital.' 'Very unhappy': Miss Tait (above) had been distraught after her boyfriend's death and was struggling to cope . She said that on the 9th of November she was went to the railway tracks and was seen by witnesses. She added: 'This was a tragic event and her death deeply affected a lot of her family and friends.’ A young witness, who cannot be named, said in a statement read out to the court: ‘This girl was hanging over the barriers and I just thought she was in a rush or something. ‘I could see that she squeezed through the barriers and onto the train lines. I thought she was in a rush and she was just going to walk through the train lines. ‘The train came closer and closer, but she stood in the middle of the tracks. She waited for the train to get too close and then it hit her.’ Police Constable Melanie Dodd, of British Transport Police, told the inquest that Miss Tait had a suitcase at the time, which contained clothes and personal items. She added: ‘She moved on the tracks in front of the train, indicating a deliberate act. I am aware that her boyfriend did something similar weeks before.’ Family: Miss Tait's sister (left, with red hair) and mother (blonde, wearing scarf) were among the attendees at

Summary: Becky Tait, of Stoke, killed herself at same spot in Staffordshire . She committed suicide two months after death of boyfriend Phil James . Care assistant struggled to cope with loss and was hit by train .


Never work with children or animals goes the old Hollywood saying but today, Prince William found himself doing both - of a sort. After a day spent meeting students at a Shanghai school, the Duke of Cambridge found himself meeting Paddington Bear on the red carpet at a film premiere. Walking down the red carpet outside the Shanghai Film Museum, William was accosted by the much-loved character and cheerfully posed for photos. Scroll down for video . Working with animals? The Duke of Cambridge joins Paddington Bear on the red carpet . Cheerful: William appeared to enjoy meeting the character and posed for photos on the red carpet . On show: The Duke of Cambridge arrives at the film premiere in Shanghai . The event was part of the GREAT Festival of Creativity, which is a government-inspired scheme designed to give a boost to all things British. One of those things is the UK film industry and during the reception that followed the premiere, the Duke presented his hosts with some old footage of Shanghai recently restored by BFI.

'The Duke told the children that if they keep on working hard hopefully one day they might play in the Premier League,' explained Hughes afterwards. 'He asked them if they knew who David Beckham was, and said that if they got involved in football then one day they might meet him. 'The Duke was interested in how football helps build confidence, self esteem and promotes good health, and how the game is going to become a big focal point in schools here.' The kickabout came on the third day of William's state visit to China, the first time a senior royal has visited the country since the Queen in 1986.

The Ohio mother who allegedly beheaded her three-month-old baby has been released from hospital and booked into jail on aggravated murder charges. Deasia Watkins, 20, said nothing as she appeared handcuffed and in a yellow jumpsuit before a Hamilton County judge on Friday morning. Her bond was set at $500,000. A grand jury will hear evidence in the case on March 26 and will decide on an indictment. She is accused of decapitating her daughter Janiyah at her aunt's College Hill home on Monday morning before placing the knife in the child's hand and going to bed. After her family found the grisly scene, Watkins, who had previously been ordered to stay away from the child after being hospitalized with psychiatric problems, was taken to hospital for evaluation. In court: Deasia Watkins, who has been charged with aggravated murder in the beheading death of her baby daughter, said nothing at her first court appearance in Hamilton County, Ohio on Friday . On Thursday evening, she was released and taken to Hamilton County Jail. While she was under guard at Deaconess Hospital, Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters said that she was not talking to authorities. 'She's like a zombie,' he told WCPO. 'We're hoping to get her some medication so she can begin talking. 'Until she gets in front of some doctors and talks, it's going to be very difficult to know what her motivation was. No matter what the motivation was, no one is going to be able to explain this.' Watkins gave birth to baby Janiyah in December and was diagnosed with postpartum psychosis in January after police responded to a report that she was screaming in her apartment. Watkins, left, allegedly murdered three-month-old Janiyah, right, at her aunt's Ohio home on Monday . She was ultimately ordered to keep away from the child, who was handed over to her aunt, and family services caseworkers said they believe Watkins may not have been taking her medication, which could have caused delusional thinking. Deters said it is believed Watkins moved in with her aunt about a week before the murder. On Monday, the aunt's son dropped his children off at the house so they could catch the bus and a five-year-old boy entered the home and found the murdered baby on a kitchen counter. Janiyah had been stabbed at least 15 times across her body and had a fractured arms, the coroner revealed. The five-year-old boy ran outside to get his father, who then woke up Watkins' aunt, and together they called 911. 'Somebody please send the police!' the aunt can be heard begging in the chilling 911 call. 'My niece killed our baby! Please! Help me!' Scene: Watkins was staying at her aunt's College Hill, Ohio home (pictured) when she allegedly murdered the baby. Police found Watkins in bed and covered in blood when they responded to her aunt's 911 call . Overcome with emotion, she is unable to speak and her son takes the phone. The 911 dispatcher presses him for details about what happened. 'Lady, the baby is on

Summary: Deasia Watkins, 20, appeared before a judge in Hamilton County, Ohio on Friday morning and her bond was set at $500,000 . She 'stabbed and beheaded her daughter Janiyah at her aunt's home in College Hill on Monday before going to bed' Janiyah had been placed in the aunt's custody after Watkins was hospitalized for psychiatric problems in January . But the aunt allowed Watkins to move in with her and the baby last week . Family members said that the 20-year-old had been suffering from post-partum depression and was 'speaking of demons'


A mother-of-three whose sex life was ruined after a negligent delay in spinal surgery has won £2.4million in damages from the NHS. Heather Tait was in tears yesterday when the award was announced at London’s High Court. The 34-year-old photographer had told an earlier hearing in Birmingham that her ‘passionate’ sex life with her husband Russel had been ruined by the complications she continues to suffer from. Heather Tait (left) was suffering from acute back pain when medics sent her home without carrying out an MRI scan . Judge Martin McKenna, who made the award, said Mrs Tait had told doctors that she ‘now feels that to a degree there is no point in having intercourse’. She also felt her closeness with her husband had been ‘jeopardised’ by her lack of enjoyment in sex. Mrs Tait, of Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, said as she left court: ‘I’m pleased that it is finally over.’ She was the boss of her own company and winning respect as a professional photographer before she went into Cheltenham General Hospital in July 2009, suffering from severe back pain. Judge McKenna – who only had to decide the amount of damages after a judgment was entered for Mrs Tait against the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust in 2012 – said although it was suspected she had a prolapsed disc, she was sent home without an MRI scan. By the next day, Mrs Tait’s condition had deteriorated. She returned to hospital and a scan revealed a massive prolapsed disc. She had emergency spinal surgery at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham on July 8, 2009. The 34-year-old developed a devastating back condition after delays in emergency scans and treatment while being treated at Cheltenham General Hospital . The hospital's negligence left Mrs Tait 'doubly incontinent, with a loss of sexual sensation and some psychiatric damage,' London's High Court (pictured) heard . Judge McKenna said the trust had admitted if she had had the scan and surgery earlier, she would not have developed the severe injuries she now suffers from. Mrs Tait has been left doubly incontinent and ‘has suffered a loss of sexual sensation and some psychiatric damage’, the judge said. Cauda equina syndrome is a serious condition where the nerves at the very bottom of the spinal cord become compressed. Symptoms include: . Doctors advise seeking medical assistance immediately if a person develops these symptoms. They should visit their GP or the accident and emergency (A&E) department of the nearest hospital. If cauda equina syndrome is not promptly treated, the nerves to the bladder and bowel can become permanently damaged. Source: NHS Choices . She continues to suffer from back pain. As well as helping her husband to run a conferencing organising business – Crystal Clear Productions (CCP) – Mrs Tait ran her own photography business, Heather Tait Photography. Judge McKenna said she was not a person who would exaggerate her symptoms for profit. ‘She is a high achiever who has worked extremely hard throughout her life,’ he said. ‘She left school at 17 with ten GCSEs to pursue a

Summary: Heather Tait, 34, ran a thriving photography business and has 3 children . Had been suffering from acute back pain but was not given MRI scan . Collapsed disc was not spotted, so she developed horrific back condition . Has now been awarded huge payout after High Court hearing .


Cristiano Ronaldo headed Real Madrid into the quarter-finals of the Champions League with two first half goals against Schalke but an awful performance from the holders suggested their crown is very much up for grabs this season. Carlo Ancelotti’s team were booed off after losing 4-3 on the night. They stumbled into the last eight 5-4 on aggregate but Ronaldo’s goals and the return of Luka Modric apart, there was little to cheer. Ancelotti was even asked if he would be surprised if he was sacked after the performance.

It was his rage at the lacklustre performance from some of his team-mates more than his finishing that was most striking. Karim Benzema scored eight minutes into the second half but Real still

As the classic Australian invention of the cask wine turns 50 this year, the best goon bags on offer are revealed. Many of us associate drinking from a shiny silver bladder as our cheap and nasty introduction to wine in our clueless youth - however casks have come a long way in the past half of a century. So much so that in 2015, one in every three glasses of wine drunk in Australia actually comes out of a cask. A stark contrast to back in 1973 when the cask hadn't taken off yet and drinking wine was only consumed on special occasions - hence each Aussie only drank about 9.8 litres of wine per year. This figure jumped to 19.3 litres per capita consumption over the next decade as people really got into the boxed varietal. Scroll down for video . Drew Lambert, a member of the popular wine blog, taste-tested all casks that were taken out of their boxes, numbered and then pegged to the clothes line . The Wine W*****s blog decided to test 10 of Australia's most premium cask wine in the most stereotypically ocker way possible - hanging the bags from yet another fair-dinkum Aussie invention - the Hills Hoist clothes line - otherwise known as the Goon of Fortune game. Drew Lambert, a member of the popular wine blog, taste-tested all casks that were taken out of their boxes, numbered and then pegged to the clothes line. Drew encourages wine lovers to check out the variety of cask wines that is now on offer. 'If you haven’t ventured into the cask section of your local bottle shop lately, you’re in for a treat. 'Cask producers have responded to the trend of consumers drinking less wine, but drinking better quality. 'You’ll now find real varieties and actual vintages, and even popular regions such as McLaren Vale and Marlborough.' But enough about educational side of things - let's find out what Drew's taste buds believe are the top of the line in the cask wine world. 1. De Bortoli Premium Cabernet Merlot (4 litres) $16.50 .

The madness that is London Fashion Week has just left the Capital. We've not even hit Summer and yet we're already being told what to wear come Autumn. But at astylealbum.com we love a fashion fix and London Fashion Week gave us exactly that. We can't help but get excited for what the best of British Fashion has to offer. Erdem, Christopher Kane and Antonio Berardi were high lights for us. All playing with colour and texture, using rich colours - deep purple, burnt orange and vibrant reds.

Of course the catwalk looks are not easy to recreate head to toe. Take from the shows snippets of what you love, use the catwalk for inspiration and ideas to carry over into your own wardrobe. Louise loved the bright, bold colours being showcased by Christopher Kane on the catwalk . We loved Temperley London's grey and yellow colour palette; Erdems textured opulent skirts teamed with soft knits and Preens cool mix of folklore prints layered with lumberjack coats. Thanks to high demand these looks tend to filter through from catwalk to high street in as little as three weeks, so those of us who don't have a bottomless budget can achieve a designer finish. A Style Album get just as excited for the street style images as the catwalk. Antonio Berardi's show was another picked out by A Style Album for its vibrancy and textures .

One of the first victims to receive an NHS payout after being sexually assaulted by Jimmy Savile has spoken out against the ‘derisory and insulting’ amount he received. Steve Ashton, 50, was awarded just £3,125 after a two-year legal battle. Mr Ashton, who was repeatedly abused by the late DJ from the age of ten, told The Mail on Sunday: ‘I would have got more for whiplash. 'It makes you wonder how many more of Savile’s victims have been fobbed off with such a derisory amount.’ Victim: Steve Ashton (left) who was abused by Jimmy Savile when he was 10, was awarded £3,125 after a two-year legal battle . Mr Ashton said his case was not about the money, but he felt the figure was a snub to all victims. ‘What is this going to show to other people in this situation?’ he asked. ‘Do they want to go through years of absolute hell for such an amount? Hundreds of people who have yet to come forward will think, “I’m not having my life made into an open book for such a small amount.” It’s a disgrace. ‘No money can make up for Savile’s effect on my life. But there should be some recognition from the authorities of the damage done.’ Mr Ashton added that his payout, which had been contested by the NHS Charitable Trust, ‘is probably one day’s work for the law firm that represented me’. He added: ‘You hear of celebrities receiving £50,000 after having their phones hacked, but how does that compare with being sexually molested as a ten-year-old boy again and again? ‘I’ve been going through this for 40 years and I still feel Savile laughing at me.’ Mr Ashton’s award was calculated using a compensation ‘tariff’, which sets payouts at between £1,500 for indecent assault over clothing to £40,000 for rape. Victims are entitled to more if they can prove lasting psychiatric damage or repeated abuse. The compensation scheme, set up jointly by Savile’s estate, the BBC, the NHS, children’s charity Barnardos and lawyers acting for the victims, was finally approved by the Court of Appeal three months ago. Payments capped at £60,000 have been awarded to more than 200 people who applied. Each claim triggers payments of up to £16,000 to lawyers. ‘My law firm was very caring, but they will come out of this far wealthier and happier than I did,’ Mr Ashton said. He added that he was advised he might be able to secure more by continuing his fight in the High Court, but decided not to as success was not guaranteed. Savile befriended Mr Ashton at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, where the victim’s mother Pamela worked as a spinal injuries researcher. The abuse happened in the Porter’s Lodge and in Savile’s private room at the hospital. Mr Ashton recalled: ‘He used to say, “This is our secret.” ‘If everywhere was busy he would take me to the mortuary. He once pointed at the fridges and said, “If you’re a naughty boy for Jimmy, this is where you’ll end up”.’

Summary: Repeatedly abused victim said he would have 'got more for whiplash' Steve Ashton said the derisory amount was a snub to victims . Feels like Savile's 'laughing' at him 40 years after the abuse . He was subjected to assaults at Stoke Mandeville where his mum worked .


In a tunnel dug deep underneath the besieged Gaza Strip, masked gunmen from Islamic Jihad ferry rockets and mortars back and forth, preparing for the next conflict with Israel. Six months ago, the Palestinian militant group emerged battered and bruised from a 50-day conflict with Israel, where it fought alongside fellow Islamist movement Hamas, which controls Gaza. Islamic Jihad's armed wing the Al-Quds Brigades lost 123 men, but fired 3,249 rockets at the Jewish state, it says, including Iranian-made Fajr 5 missiles which reached Tel Aviv and even northern Israel. Heavily armed: Palestinian militants from the Islamic Jihad's armed wing, the Al-Quds Brigades, squat in a tunnel used for ferrying rockets and mortars back and forth in the Gaza Strip . The conflict, where Israel tried to flush out Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants by bombarding the coastal enclave, killed nearly 2,200 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and 73 people on the Israeli side, mostly soldiers. But the group says it is resurgent. 'We're at our highest level of alert to counter any attack. We're used to the occupation (Israel) breaking its ceasefires,' senior commander Abu al-Bara told journalists from inside one of the group's tunnels. 'What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. We're gathering all our strength since it's a war that never ends. We're ready to go to another level against the Zionist occupation and carry out actions we've never done before,' he said, without elaborating. The war ended on August 26 with a fragile Hamas-Israel ceasefire brokered by Egypt. In the meantime, Islamic Jihad has sought to replace its fallen comrades, and its manpower is estimated at between 10,000 and 15,000 fighters. Hamas and Islamic Jihad refuse to specify the number of fighters, or rockets, they currently possess, but both were severely depleted by the Israeli assault, which included ground combat. Under cover: Palestinian militants hide in a tunnel used for ferrying rockets and mortars back and forth in preparation for the Islamic Jihad's next conflict with Israel . Israel's ground invasion was aimed at destroying the hundreds of tunnels Gaza's two main Islamist groups had built, both for smuggling supplies and for attacks inside Israel. Islamic Jihad and Hamas staged deadly assaults on Israeli troops using the tunnels. For the first time, AFP news correspondents were permitted to enter a tunnel, provided they were blindfolded whilst being taken to them, so as not to give away its location. Inside, placards had been erected on the concrete walls, naming 'streets' to help militants navigate the network. One route was named after Abu Bakr al-Sadiq, the first Islamic caliph following the Prophet Mohammed's death in 632; another, Othman Ibn Affan, a successor. Quds fighters said the group had a network of tunnels of 'different lengths, some with several entrances'. But they were silent on the network's location or how it was built. Still there: Israel's ground invasion during the 50-day war with Palestinian militants in the summer of 2014 was aimed at destroying the hundreds of tunnels used by Gaza's two main Islamist groups . Their weapons were made inside Gaza, they

Summary: Jihadis are using tunnels to smuggle weapons beneath the Gaza Strip . They claim to be fully recovered from massive losses during Gaza War . Militants say they are now ready to resume battles with the Israeli regime .


A 20-year-old US Air Force satellite has exploded in space, adding 43 pieces of space junk to Earth’s orbit, reports have claimed. The explosion happened on 3 February due to a sudden temperature spike, although the event has only just come to light. However, talking to MailOnline, Nasa and Esa said the catastrophic event posed no significant risk to other satellites in Earth orbit. A US Air Force satellite has exploded 500 miles above Earth's surface. An unknown 'temperature spike' caused the explosion of the Defense MeteorologicalSatellite Program Flight 13 (DMSP-F13). One of the series of satellites is illustrated here. This has resulted in 43 new pieces of debris in Earth orbit . The previously unknown incident was revealed by Space News, after posing questions to Air Force Space Command. Known as the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program Flight 13 (DMSP-F13), it was launched back in 1995 and had remained in operation until now. Since the first object, Sputnik 1, was launched into space 53 years ago, mankind has created a swarm of hundreds of thousands of items of debris. The rubbish circling the planet comes from old rockets, abandoned satellites and missile shrapnel. There are around 22,000 objects in orbit that are big enough for officials on the ground to track and hundreds of thousands more smaller ones that could do damage to human-carrying spaceships and valuable satellites. One major source of debris in the past was a Chinese anti-satellite missile test in 2007 that left an estimated 150,000 pieces of junk in the atmosphere. Accidental events have also contributed to the problem. In 2009 for instance there was a major crash between a US communications satellite and a defunct Russian military probe over Siberia. Some tentative solutions to clear up space junk have been suggested - such as using nets to scoop some up - but nothing has been tried so far. This made it the oldest continuously operational satellite in this particular series of satellites. Exactly what has happened to the satellite, though, is still not clear, with the temperature spike remaining a mystery. Air Force Space Command said the power subsystem experienced 'a sudden spike in temperature'. This was followed by 'an unrecoverable loss of altitude control', before pieces of debris were then spotted in the vicinity of the satellite - suggesting it had partially exploded. Part of the satellite still seems to be intact, however, as it is sending and receiving signals - although Air Force Space Command Told MailOnline said it was 'unrecoverable'. Speaking to MailOnline, Andy Roake, Chief of the Current Operations Division at Air Force Space Command, said the fault was likely due to the satellite reaching the end of its operational life time. ‘A thermal spike can be caused by a variety of things from on board anomaly to space environment changes,’ he said. ‘In this case we believe the satellite was wearing down. The satellite had already exceeded its design life three times over providing thousands of hours of weather imagery. ‘Prior to the power failure, the satellite had already lost its primary

Summary: A US Air Force satellite has exploded 500 miles above Earth's surface . An unknown 'temperature spike' caused the explosion . This has resulted in 43 new pieces of debris in Earth orbit . The Air Force said the loss of the satellite was not a major concern . And Nasa and Esa played down the risk to other satellites in orbit .


This year’s renewal of the Queen Mother Champion Chase could double as an episode of Casualty given the two chief protagonists have hauled themselves off their sick beds to face the starter. Both Sprinter Sacre, successful in 2013, and last season’s hero Sire De Grugy have suffered well-documented issues, with connections striving to return their charges to the form which saw them dominate consecutive runnings of this feature. As the preparation of both horses has not been smooth — despite their trainers issuing upbeat bulletins — it might be worth opposing them with CHAMPAGNE FEVER (Cheltenham, 3.20). Champagne Fever, ridden by Ruby Walsh (right) wins the William Hill Supreme Novices Hurdle in 2013 . Racemail tipsters got off to a stunning start on the opening day. Robin Goodfellow (Sam Turner) and Captain Heath (Marcus Townend) napped 8-1 National Hunt Chase winner Cause Of Causes, while Townend also landed his next best bet (The Druids Nephew 8-1) to complete an 80-1 double. Turner also picked winners Douvan (2-1), Un De Sceaux (4-6) and Champion Hurdle winner Faugheen (4-5), while Peter Scudamore went for the first two Willie Mullins’ winners. But for an agonising defeat in the Arkle Chase 12 months ago at this meeting, the eight-year-old would have an undefeated record in three starts at the Festival after successes in the bumper and Supreme Novices’ Hurdle. Admittedly, he can be a hit-and-miss character on occasion, falling at Thurles two starts ago before repairing his confidence with an easy win at Gowran. A fine effort in the King George Chase in December, when finding the three miles on soft ground beyond him, suggests the drop back to the two-mile trip will suit. And his stable are bang in form, with trainer Willie Mullins enjoying a memorable day on Tuesday. If the rain stays away, I could see Simply Ned out running his price as he has been kept fresh for this and has already finished in front of Dodging Bullets at Prestbury Park this season. Arabian Revolution (right) ridden by jockey Tony McCoy wins at Sandown Park Racecourse in January 2015 . Earlier on the card, DON POLI (Cheltenham, 2.05) has looked awesome in his two chase starts to date and is strongly fancied to lift the RSA Chase. He repelled a classy rival in Apache Stronghold with a degree of comfort at Leopardstown last time and looks a Gold Cup horse in the making. Apache Stronghold has gone on to boost that form with an accomplished defeat of Valseur Lido, and Don Poli has a great opportunity to follow up his triumph in a handicap hurdle at last year’s meeting. ARABIAN REVOLUTION (Cheltenham, nap, 4.40) is a sporting selection to win one of the season’s fiercest handicaps as he looks to have plenty in his favour in the Fred Winter Handicap Hurdle. Like three previous winners, the selection boasts a victory at Sandown and the form of his recent run at Ludlow has since taken a marked boost with the winner Beltor, a Triumph Hurdle contender, hacking up at Kempton.

Steve Cotterill’s dapper cup final suit was ruined, drenched in the champagne poured over him by his elated players. But he didn’t care one bit. ‘They can tip champagne over me any day of the week if we win,’ laughed the thrilled Bristol City manager. After all, this is City’s season. They’re coasting to the League One title and, with a handsome piece of silverware already in the cabinet, the good times have returned to Ashton Gate. Steve Cotterill and Kieran Agard look delighted after winning the trophy and City could now clinch the double . Captain Wade Elliot (centre) lifts the Johnstone's Paint Trophy as his Bristol City team-mates celebrate . Mark Little (2) bundles home the second goal after a goal mouth scrambled left him a clear goal to aim at . The full back celebrates in front of the Bristol City fans after he doubled his side's lead . This was as straightforward as a Wembley final gets. They lifted the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy in front of 40,000 jubilant Bristolians after goals from Aden Flint and Mark Little saw off Walsall’s meek challenge. But this was merely a taste of things to come. With a 10-point advantage over their nearest league challengers Preston North End, City will surely also be lifting a trophy the next time they meet Walsall, in the last game of the season on May 3. Like so often during this campaign, they were in control from start to finish, showing the greater assurance in front of goal in a game of few chances. Now comes the task of crossing the finish line and completing a double but it would take a collapse of spectacular proportions to deny them a return to the Championship after two seasons away. ‘Hopefully this can push us on to finish the season off,’ said Cotterill, who also enjoyed Wembley success in the 1998 FA Trophy final with hometown club Cheltenham Town. ‘The one thing they have experienced today is that 30-40 minutes of euphoria and it’s really important to feel that early in your career. ‘We have a fixation now — we just want to win the league.' Aden Flint (left) scores the opening goal for Bristol City during the Johnstone's Paint Trophy Final . The big centre half runs away to celebrate his opening goal at Wembley Stadium for Bristol City . The 50-year-old appears to be on a mission to put the West Country on the footballing map, saying the area had been starved of success. ‘They play a lot of rugby at school, so for the football teams to achieve success is good for the kids in the area,’ he added in a cheeky dig at the real king of sports in the region. Days like this will certainly help inspire the next generation of City fans. Once the flames and pyrotechnics had faded at Wembley, the favourites immediately seized control. Their enormous following only had to wait 15 minutes for the breakthrough when Flint outmuscled his marker to head home Marlon Pack’s corner at the back

Summary: Aden Flint gave Bristol City the lead at Wembley after 15 minutes with a towering header at the far post . Mark Little doubled the lead when he bundled the ball into the net with replays showing it hit his hand . Steve Cotterill's side deserved the win over the 90 minutes and lifted the Johnstone's Paint Trophy . City will now concentrate on winning promotion back to the Championship .

The main cathedral in San Francisco has been ordered to take down a sprinkler system used to deter homeless from sleeping in its 30ft-high porchways. The hoses outside the front of Saint Mary of the Assumption were apparently installed two years ago without necessary planning permission. News of their existence emerged via CBS News this week, triggering outcry from the wider community. Some branded the sprayers - which used hundreds of gallons of water every night - 'shocking', 'rude', 'inhumane' and a 'waste of resources'. Against building regulations: The main cathedral in San Francisco has been ordered to take down a sprinkler system used to deter homeless from sleeping in its porchways . Discreet: The hoses outside the front of Saint Mary of the Assumption were apparently installed two years ago without necessary planning permission . Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director of the Coalition on Homeless, added that the time-triggered mechanisms were 'certainly not formed on the basis of Catholic teachings.' However, the church defended the sprinkler idea stating that it wasn't safe having homeless people and drug addicts lurking when families were visiting. Chris Lyford, a spokesman for the Archdiocese, told CBS that staff tried to find other forms of accommodation for those without shelter. 'We refer them, mostly to Catholic Charities, for example for housing,' Lyford said. 'To Saint Anthony's soup kitchen for food, if they want food on that day. Saint Vincent de Paul if they need clothes.' Wrong move: Some branded the sprayers - which used hundreds of gallons of water every night - 'shocking', 'rude', 'inhumane' and a 'waste of resources' Roughing it: A homeless man named Michael revealed that some people were not deterred by the water and merely ventured out with umbrellas . Lyford claimed he did not know about the sprinkler system until it was brought to his attention but another church staff member said the spouts were installed over a year ago. According to CBS, the rain showers ran for 75 seconds every 30 to 60 minutes. A homeless man named Michael revealed that some people were not deterred by the water and merely ventured out with umbrellas. 'You've got some pretty hardcore homeless people who actually don’t care... so they’ll go in there and sleep.' Robert, another homeless San Francisco inhabitant, said that as well as the water systems there were signs pasted up stating 'No Trespassing.' Time-triggered mechanism: According to CBS, the rain showers ran for 75 seconds every 30 to 60 minutes. However, now the sprinklers will be taken down as they reportedly violate the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection code. The church has 15 days to comply and remove the system. Bishop William Justice, the rector of Saint Mary's Cathedral, issued a statement apologizing for any upset the church's homeless deterrent had caused. He said the sprinklers were modeled on similar systems used in the city’s Financial District 'as a safety, security and cleanliness measure to avoid the situation where needles, feces and other dangerous items were regularly being left in these hidden doorways. 'The problem was particularly dangerous

Carl Cox driving an old banger, Norman Cook taking some time out in a fluffy towel and Danny Howard slipping into his PJs to catch the Coronation Street omnibus. These superstar DJs, they're just like us, you know. Cox, Cook and Howard are just three DJs who took time out of their hectic, jet-setting lives to share their more private passions with British photographer Jessica van der Weert for a charity exhibition raising awareness for the British Tinnitus Association (BTA) – an organisation that supports people with the debilitating hearing condition that affects almost 10% of UK adults and which affects many DJs. Pop culture photographer van der Weert has spent two years snapping her favourite music men and women, including Annie Mac, Zane Lowe, Paul Oakenfold and Mary Ann Hobbs, for the exhibition which is set to show in Berlin, New York and Ibiza this summer after a standout London debut (complete, of course, with an epic after party).

Vladimir Putin has appeared on television for the first time in a week amid health fears and suggestions that he is being subject to a coup, while rumours persist that his 31-year-old 'girlfriend' is about to give birth. Putin, 62, had cancelled several planned meetings during the week leading to speculation over his health and even claims that he was fighting to retain his position. Channel NTV showed footage of Putin meeting with supreme court president Vyacheslav Lebedev, which it claims was shot on Friday. Scroll down for video . Vladimir Putin, left, met with the supreme court president Vyacheslav Lebedev, right, earlier today . According to Putin's staff, he was discussing judicial reform and the likely increase in the number of bankruptcies as as result of Russia's economic collapse. Putin is due to meet with the president of Kyrgyzstan in St Petersburg on Monday according to the Kremlin. The Russian president was last seen in public on March 5. For the past week, the Russian government has been reluctantly answering questions about Putin's health and suggestions that his unofficial girlfriend Alina Kabayeva had checked into a Swiss maternity clinic. Rumours about 31-year-old Alina Kabayeva surfaced with reports in Switzerland, Italy and Russia suggesting the gymnast had either given birth or was about to do so. It comes amid increased speculation over what has happened to Putin with the Russian leader not having been seen for a week. Alluring: Many Russians consider Alina Kabayeva the country's undeclared First Lady . The claims focused on an elite clinic in Lugano, in the Italian region of the neutral country, with some accounts saying she had a new daughter. Putin's spokesman - who has never confirmed a relationship between the 62 year old strongman and the Olympic gold-medal winner - insisted: 'Information about the birth of Vladimir Putin's child does not correspond to reality.' The Russian embassy in Kiev refused to comment on a report on the speculation in newspaper Blick. Russian Tatler yesterday repeated gossip that Kabayeva has two children already by Putin but adds there is no official confirmation. Kabayeva has been largely out of sight since quitting as an MP in Putin's United Russia party last September, when she took over as head of a major media conglomerate. Meanwhile, the Kremlin today issued a new picture showing Putin meeting the chairman of the Supreme Court Vyacheslav Lebedev at his out-of-Moscow residence Novo-Ogaryovo. The image was meant to scotch suggestions that Putin was not at work amid speculation over a coup or illness. However, there were immediate claims the picture and TV footage was old, and that it was further evidence of his mystery absence. Current rumours in Moscow include Putin suffering a stroke, or an unfolding palace coup, following his sudden cancellation of a scheduled trip to Kazakhstan. With Moscow in febrile mood, a former senior aide to the strongman claimed another ex-KGB spy is being urgently lined up to take over from him. The theory suggests the Kremlin's chief of staff Sergei Ivanov - a former defence minister - will become

Summary: Vladimir Putin held his first public meeting in more than a week today . The Russian president met with the head of the supreme court in Moscow . The pair are believed to have discussed judicial reform and the economy . Russian government sources say Putin has further meetings on Monday . Reports claim Putin's 'girlfriend' has checked into Swiss maternity hospital . It's claimed Alina Kabayeva, 31, is giving birth or had recently done so . Her stay at the hospital has been linked to recent disappearance of Putin . It comes as the Kremlin fends off allegations of an impending coup . Former aide said Russia's prime minister will be replaced by Sergei Ivanov . This to be followed by an announcement Putin needs a break, it is claimed .


The bi-racial granddaughter of a Nazi concentration camp leader has revealed the horrifying moment she discovered the truth about her ancestry after she was given up for adoption. Jennifer Teege was 38 when she came across a book in a Hamburg library written by her mother - a name she recognized - and learned that she was the granddaughter of SS Commander Amon Goeth, who was portrayed by Ralph Fiennes in the 1993 Oscar-winning movie 'Schindler's List'. 'It really turned my world upside down,' said Teege, now 44. She has now penned a book - due out next month - about the life-changing discovery and how her adoptive parents and therapist helped her find peace with who she was. Scroll down for video . Learning the truth: Jennifer Teege, pictured, has written a book that comes out this month about her soul-searching experience after she found out her grandfather led a concentration camp in Nazi Germany . Ancestor: When she was 38, she learned that her grandfather was SS Commander Amon Goeth (pictured left), who was portrayed by Ralph Fiennes in the 1993 Oscar-winning movie 'Schindler's List' (right) 'A Nazi gene doesn't exist,' she told People magazine. 'We can decide for ourselves who and what we want to be.' Teege was the result of a brief relationship between her German mother and Nigerian father; by the time she was born, her mother was in another relationship and she was given up for adoption. By the age of seven, she had been taken in to a foster family but she reconnected with her mother, Monika Hertwig, when she was 20. Her mother told her nothing of her ancestry. By nearly two decades later, she came across her mother's book, 'I Have To Love My Father, Don't I? The Life Story of Monika Goeth' and recognized the author as her mother. 'The moment I had that book in my hand, I knew it would give me so many answers,' she told People. She learned that her grandfather had ran a concentration camp in Plaszow, Poland in World War II. Family: Teege, who was adopted, made the discovery when she found a book about her biological mother, Monika Hertwig (pictured), in a library. She had had contact with her mother, who never told her the truth . Ancestors: Teege's mother Monika is pictured right in the 1940s with her own mother Ruth Irene Kalder, who had an affair with Goeth while working as a secretary in his factory . Goeth was known for shooting Jewish inmates for sport at the concentration camp and for training his large dogs to attack them, and was a central character in the film 'Schinder's List'. Compelling: Jennifer Teege has penned a book about the discovery, due out next month . The German industrialist Oskar Schindler saved more than 1,200 Jews by bribing Goeth and other Nazis to have them work in his factories rather than be sent for extermination in death camps. Goeth, who was known as the 'Butcher of Plaszow', was convicted as a war criminal and hanged

Angela Patram, 37, gave birth to her fifth child last month and just minutes later, she became a grandmother too. The Florida mother and her 20-year-old daughter Teranisha Billups gave birth on the same day last month, in the same hospital where Patram also works as a nurse. 'We knew our due dates were around the same time, but we never expected that it would happen on the same day,' Patram told People magazine. 'I'm kinda shocked that it played out how it did,' Billups told WTSP. What are the odds? Angela Patram, left, gave birth to daughter Raya, in pink, on the same day that her 20-year-old daughter Teranisha Billups, right, gave birth to son Jerry Michaud Jr, in blue, last month in Tampa.

Older daughter Billups had been in labor since the day before, but she didn't give birth to son Jerry Michaud Jr until 34 minutes after Patram. Dr Atef Zakhary delivered both babies, as well as two of Patram's older children, and described it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. 'I've been in this field for 29 years ... I've seen maybe 14,000 deliveries,' Dr. Zakhary said in a statement on the hospital's website. 'I've never seen a mom and daughter deliver on the same day. And this is as close as you could get.' While Patram is sad she couldn't be with her daughter for the delivery, and be the first to see her new grandson, the mother daughter duo took pictures shortly after they were both rested from delivery. Double the fun: Patram says they knew their due dates were close, but never imagined giving birth on the same day. Pictured above with Angela's son CJ, center .

One month after delivery, both babies are doing well and living at Patram's home in Gibsonton, Florida. 'When we sit both babies next to each other, they just look at each other really closely,' Billups said. "It's weird seeing two babies of the same size in the house." Billups and Michaud are currently living with her mother while they search for a home of their own nearby. Billups studies biology at Florida A&M University, but plans to transfer to a college closer to home.

A town councillor from Hertfordshire says a British Airways flight to Dubai was forced to return to London due to a foul odour emanating from an overflowing toilet. Hertsmere councillor Abhishek Sachdev, who represents Potters Bar Parkfield, said the seven-hour flight was aborted ‘because of a smelly poo in the toilet’. Cabin crew were unable to fix the problem and the smell became unbearable for passengers seated nearby, forcing the plane to turn around near Brussels and land at Heathrow Airport. A British Airways captain told passengers the smell was from 'liquid faecal excrement' in a toilet . Mr Sachdev, a Tory councillor, said the flight departed on time Thursday night and everything seemed fine until the captain made an announcement about 30 minutes after take-off. He told MailOnline Travel: ‘The pilot made an announcement requesting senior cabin crew, and we knew something was a bit odd. ‘About 10 minutes later he said you may have noticed there’s a quite pungent smell coming from one of the toilets. ‘He said it was liquid faecal excrement, those are the words he used. He said it’s not a technical fault with the plane, and he was very adamant about that.’ Hertsmere councillor Abhishek Sachdev said passengers were told that crew could not fix the problem . The captain informed passengers that the plane’s crew had examined the problem, but were unable to fix it. He told them that the plane would be forced to return to London for health and safety reasons. Passengers were initially told that they would board another flight in three hours, but it turned into a 15-hour delay, said Mr Sachdev, who was travelling with his pregnant wife, Rupa, and their two-year-old daughter, Shravani. He said the airline offered an apology and provided hotel accommodation and food vouchers, but claimed BA ground staff were unprepared and told the travellers to contact the Civil Aviation Authority for compensation. Tory councillor Abhishek Sachdev was travelling with his pregnant wife and their two-year-old daughter . Mr Sachdev, who wasn’t seated near the toilet in question, said passengers departed for Dubai yesterday at 1pm. He said: ‘It’s obviously disappointing to lose a whole day of your trip. You might expect it on some random airline, but you wouldn’t expect it from British Airways.’ After the plane landed at Heathrow, the councillor tweeted: ‘Insane! Our BA flight to Dubai returned back to Heathrow because of a smelly poo in the toilet! 15hrs until next flight/’ A British Airways spokesperson told MailOnline Travel: 'We're very sorry for the discomfort to our customers.  . 'We provided them with hotel accommodation and rescheduled the flight to depart the next day.'

Summary: Captain informed passengers the smell was from 'liquid faecal excrement' Plane returned to London about 30 to 40 minutes after take-off . Passenger Abhishek Sachdev said crew had health and safety concerns . Travellers were put up in hotel rooms and offered food vouchers .


For once, the focus of north London did not fall on Arsenal on Sunday. After the week they've had, Arsene Wenger was happy to shun the limelight this time. Ask Gunners fans prior to kick-off if they'd rather three points or a Tottenham defeat in the Capital One Cup final and you'd have been greeted with differing opinions. As it happened, they all got their wish. Their arch-rivals lost to Chelsea at Wembley and Arsenal got their win — by the same scoreline, — courtesy of goals from Olivier Giroud and Tomas Rosicky, to move four points behind second-placed Manchester City. Olivier Giroud points to the sky after scoring the opener against Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday . Giroud had a less than enjoyable time in his side's Champions League defeat against Monaco on Wednesday . The French striker congratulates team-mate Tomas Rosicky after he doubled the Gunners' lead on Sunday . But much like their demoralising Champions League loss to Monaco on Wednesday night, this didn't make for comfortable viewing. The 2-0 score doesn't tell the full story. This was unconvincing from Arsenal; the Emirates Stadium a bag of nerves until Rosicky's last-minute goal. Nevertheless, while their participation in this year's Champions League is under huge threat, their qualification for next year's competition remains on course. Despite their lack of fluency, Wenger would have been pleased with the response shown by his wounded players following the midweek loss. Giroud, barracked by his own supporters on Wednesday, did not hide; likewise Francis Coquelin, who played on after breaking his nose. This wasn't the Arsenal we're accustomed to, but after the Monaco monstrosity that didn't concern Wenger. 'I think what was really important was the mentally united response,' he said. Rosicky had been on the pitch for a matter of minutes when he doubled Arsenal's lead at the Emirates . Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said he was proud of his side's response to the loss against Monaco . 'I am very proud of the response we have shown. Our defensive concentration was at a much higher level than on Wednesday. 'We know with the ball we can do better but overall what was important for us was to respond with a win. Not everyone can produce that after such a disappointment and it was vital for us to win.' Wenger's comments, particularly regarding his side's defensive stability, will have resonated with Per Mertesacker. The Frenchman rang the changes following Wednesday's loss. Vice-captain Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck were axed and replaced by Gabriel and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. For Gabriel, in particular, this was a huge opportunity. Per Mertesacker (right) was demoted to the bench following Arsenal's Champions League loss to Monaco . Giroud shows his strength in an impressive display to hold the challenge from Everton defender Phil Jagielka . Mertesacker's role in the starting XI has been called into huge question this season following a string of below-par displays, including against Monaco. On reflection, it wasn't the most convincing of performances from the 24-year-old on his first Premier League start since arriving

Summary: Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud scored the opener versus Everton on Sunday . Frenchman responded well following his wasteful show against Monaco .

Japan have named former PSG manager Vahid Halilhodzic as their new national team boss.

'I called the police and then I followed him again and he stopped his car in the middle of the road and then some cars almost hit him.' Mr Singh then became alarmed by the behaviour and left it to the police. 'He was not looking stable.' Before they arrived however, Cousins had moved onto another person's house and opened the door before realising Mr and Mrs. Singh were still watching him from their yard. He allegedly jumped fences and scaled a two-story home and paced along the roof. The police arrived ten minutes later and talked Cousins off the room before arresting him in Shreeve Road at 11am. CCTV has shown Cousins attempting to flee from police.

Derby County have revived interest in Fulham's Ross McCormack. The Championship promotion hopefuls had made enquiries about signing Jordan Rhodes from Blackburn Rovers but the Ewood Park club's reluctance to deal has prompted fresh questions about McCormack. The Scotland international made an £11million move from Leeds in the summer but the move has backfired with Fulham falling perilously close to the relegation places in recent weeks. Fulham striker Ross McCormack battles with Bournemouth's Matt Ritchie during their clash at Craven Cottage . Fulham striker McCormack gets his shot away as Fulham take on Watford in the Championship . McCormack has been linked with a move to promotion hopefuls Derby County as Fulham stutter in the division . McCormack, 28, has still managed 12 goals in a struggling side and Derby are keen to see if Fulham will loan him with a view to a permanent deal should they go up. Fulham's form is poor with just three wins this year and they are unlikely to want to lose one of their best forwards. They have an eight point cushion between themselves and Wigan and plan a re-structure in the summer should they survive. Second-placed Derby face promotion rivals Norwich on Saturday. Jordan Rhodes (centre) was on the subs' bench for the duration of Blackburn's FA Cup match with Liverpool .

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a libertarian-leaning senator will officially announce his candidacy for president at a rally in Louisville, Kentucky on April 7, a senior adviser to the Republican politician told Daily Mail Online. With Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the race for the White House as of this morning, when he kicked off his own bid with a tweet, Paul plans to follow suit and launch his own campaign in just over two weeks. Louisville, the adviser said, was selected over Paul's hometown, Bowling Green, the city from which he set in motion his quest to become a U.S. senator, for optimum venue space. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul is scheduled to follow Ted Cruz's lead and announce his presidential bid at a campaign-style event on April 7 in Louisville, Kentucky . Even before Cruz, 44, kicked off his 2016 bid, Paul, 52, had his eye on April 7 as a launch date for his own national campaign. But the fellow Republican's formal announcement helped to solidify Paul's plans. Determined not to be the first major White House hopeful to wade into the shark-infested waters, Paul intended to wait until at least one other prominent Republican contender swam out to sea. Already, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and wealthy businessman and reality TV star Donald Trump had publicly said they were forming presidential exploratory committees. Such committees allow them to legally collect money for the purposes of travelling around the country to 'test the waters' for a bid and to conduct polling. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has made clear that he will pursue a presidential campaign but has not yet held the kind of large-scale event that typically accompanies the launch of a national campaign. Cruz, voted into the Senate during the last presidential election in 2012, has selected a Christian college in Virginia as the backdrop for the public unveiling of his national enterprise. He'll make the announcement this morning at Liberty University even though he's yet to establish an exploratory committee. Paul has not yet signed paperwork legalizing a committee either but could do so in the two weeks before he throws his name into the ring. Up for reelection this year, the Republican lawmaker first had to settle an in-house dispute over whether he could pursue his current job and the one that he wants at the same time. Earlier this month the Kentucky GOP gave him its blessing to do both. As a result, the state will have a one-time caucus, paid for by Paul, to determine its presidential nominee so that Paul can remain on a statewide ballot as a candidate for the U.S. Senate, as well. If he nabs the Republican nomination for president, however, he'll have to take the state to court in order to protect his fail safe measure, as Kentucky law does not allow a politician to appear on the ballot twice for two separate positions. And Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, the loser of last fall's Senate competition, vowed to force Paul to play by the

Summary: The announcement will take place in Louisville, Kentucky . Paul, 52, had his eye on April 7 for some time, but fellow Republican Ted Cruz's formal entry into the race on Monday helped solidify Paul's plans . Paul wanted to wait until at least one other prominent Republican contender launched a bid before making a grand show of his own . Other probable candidates have launched presidential exploratory committees but Cruz is the first to make a campaign-style announcement .


Bhutan, the world's worst international team according to FIFA rankings, picked up a 1-0 win against Sri Lanka in their World Cup qualifying debut on Thursday. Tshering Dorji scored the only goal of the match in the 84th minute for the small Himalayan nation, ranked last of the 209 teams in FIFA's rankings, in steamy Colombo. Before Thursday, Bhutan had only three wins to their name and were beaten 5-2 by Sri Lanka in their last international match at the 2013 South Asian Football Championships in Kathmandu.

The performance from the side, who were once thrashed 20-0 by Kuwait in an Asian Cup qualifier in 2000, drew praise from even FIFA president Sepp Blatter. 'A wonderful, historic moment. Bhutan, ranked 209/209 in world, won their 1st ever #WCQ today, 1-0 in Sri Lanka,' Blatter said on his Twitter handle. After Bhutan, Brunei also won for the first time in the World Cup qualifiers, beating Taiwan with a 36th-minute goal from Adi Said while Cambodia defeated Macau 3-0 in Phnom Penh. Lowly East Timor earlier kicked off the long and winding road to Russia 2018 by registering their first ever World Cup qualifying win, a 4-1 success over Mongolia in Dili. Striker Chiquito Filipe do Carmo scored the first goals of the three-year qualifying campaign that will see all of FIFA's 208 members play more than 800 matches to determine which 31 sides will join the hosts at the finals.

The victory was only the fourth the 185th-ranked East Timor achieved since becoming FIFA members in 2005. Such was the excitement for the fixture in the Portuguese-speaking Southeast Asian nation, that a big screen was erected outside the Municipal Stadium for fans who couldn't get their hands on one of the 10,000 tickets on sale. They would have seen their diminutive striker, better known as Quito, strike in the seventh and 10th minutes before Brazilian-born Rodrigo Silva netted a third in the 89th minute and substitute Neto grabbed a fourth in stoppage time. Batmonkhiin Erkhembayar grabbed a late consolation for the visitors to give them some slight hope of overturning the deficit in the second leg in Mongolia on Tuesday. In other matches, India beat Nepal 2-0, while Yemen play Pakistan. The six aggregate

The British Museum has once again topped the pile when it comes to the UK's most popular tourist attractions. Based on data collected by Visit England, this handy infographic shows the top 50 places to visit; whether it's stunning countryside, historic sites or man-made attractions. And the list is far from dominated by locations in London; featured among other is the Eden Project in Cornwall, Flamingo Land in Yorkshire, and of course Stonehenge. The British Museum recorded just over 6.7 million visitors in 2013, and with just over 6 million visits, it was fellow London attraction the National Gallery that was the second most popular. In fact nine of the top ten sites were in the capital. Brighton Pier in sixth spot with 4 million visitors was the sole entry from outside London. Scott Fairhurst, director of Perfect Stays, who designed the infographic, told MailOnline Travel: 'It comes as no surprise that London's great museums and galleries are so popular with visitors. 'However, it's great to see other regional institutions - Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry and Cornwall's world-famous Eden Project to name a few - also making the list. 'These attractions are a testament to the cultural, technological, and archaeological achievements of our great nation, and I look forward to seeing a healthy summer of tourism in 2015.'

A Chinese holidaymaker has been hit with a fine for washing her feet in a public bathroom on one of Thailand’s picturesque tourist islands. The woman was spotted washing her feet in a sink less than 30 minutes after island officials posted a ‘no foot washing’ sign in the loo. The warnings were posted in bathrooms on the island of Phi Phi Don a few days after a group of Chinese tourists upset locals by washing their feet and sandals in hand basins. A Chinese tourist was fined in Thailand for washing her feet in a public bathroom on Phi Phi Don island . Koh Phi Phi-Nopparathara National Park Chief Chaithat Boonphupantanti told the Phuket Gazette: ‘She didn’t pay any attention to the sign directly in front of her. ‘Our officers took photos of her breaking the law before informing her that she was committing a crime.’ She was fined 1,000 baht (£20 or $30) and her tour guide was informed of the incident, meaning she could face further discipline back home. Mr Boonphupantanti told the newspaper: ‘The sign is in English with clear pictures of what is prohibited. We will be looking to include Chinese-language warnings as well. The Chinese tourist washed her feet in a sink less than 30 minutes after these warnings were posted . ‘We were not rude or aggressive when we were dealing with the tourist. We are just trying to establish rules that will keep the place clean and beautiful.’ The relationship between Chinese tourists and Thai locals has become strained following a series of high-profile incidents that have led to stern warnings from the Chinese government and an etiquette guide being published by Thailand’s tourist board. Earlier this week, photos that showed Chinese visitors washing their feet and sandals in public sinks in Phi Phi led to outrage, with locals insisting that the holidaymakers committed a cultural faux pas. The signs went up in public bathrooms after a group of visitors washed their feet in sinks earlier this week . An island official told NetEase, a Chinese media agency, that the holidaymakers’ actions were ‘inappropriate’ and that notices would be posted in public bathrooms to discourage the behaviour. Thailand is a popular destination for about four million Chinese tourists every year, but locals have expressed frustration and outrage in response to the actions of a handful of visitors. Last month, Thailand’s tourist board announced that it would be handing out etiquette manuals to Chinese tourists who were visiting during the Chinese New Year. The relationship between Thais and Chinese tourists has been strained by a series of high-profile incidents . The manuals outlined how the holidaymakers are expected to behave while they visit Thailand. They were created after the Thai government received complaints from locals, who accused Chinese visitors of defecating in public, causing traffic accidents with reckless driving, and defacing tourist attractions. Chinese tourists were temporarily banned from even entering Wat Rong Khun, the Buddhist White Temple in Chiang Rai, after complaints that they had ruined the toilets.

Summary: Holidaymakers were photographed in bathroom on island of Phi Phi . Upset locals said the tourists committed a cultural faux pas . It occurred weeks after Thailand's government released an etiquette guide . A number of incidents has strained relations between locals and visitors .


Reverend Gavin Ashenden said around 100 passages in the Muslim holy book incite followers to violence, including 'striking off heads' There are passages in the Koran which ‘invite people to violence’, one of the Queen’s chaplains said last night. Reverend Canon Gavin Ashenden, the former chaplain of Sussex University and one of 35 who serve Her Majesty, expressed concern about more than 100 passages in the Muslim holy book. But the Church of England priest declined to say whether parts of the Koran are ‘evil’, instead advising people to make up their own minds. He was responding to comments by the Archbishop of Canterbury, who warned this week about being too quick to brand people with strong religious views ‘extremists’. Yesterday, more than 60 imams and leaders of Muslim groups signed an open letter to the Government accusing it of criminalising Islam. They claimed the ‘terror threat’ was being exploited for political capital ahead of the election, as ‘the big parties inevitably try to outdo each other in their nastiness’. The signatories, which included journalist Yvonne Ridley and former Guantanamo detainee Moazzam Begg, criticised the ‘demonisation of Muslims in Britain ... despite their disavowal of violence and never having supported terrorist acts’. Rev Ashenden was responding to comments by Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby who has reportedly claimed young people are turning to jihad because mainstream religion is not ‘exciting’. The Archbishop said Britain’s religious communities needed to do more to provide an alternative to extremism that gives youngsters a ‘purpose in life’. But Rev Ashenden told LBC radio he was ‘attracted to Christianity because it invites people to the extremity of forgiveness and love’. He added: ‘Islam has, I think, over 100 verses inviting people to violence in the Koran which Christianity doesn’t have. 'If you’re going to invite people to be dedicated ... followers of their scriptures, Christians will go around forgiving people and Islamists will do something else.’ Asked to compare the Bible and the Koran, he said the Christian holy text invites its followers to forgive and try to lead people away from sin, while the Muslim text invites people to violence . Presenter Iain Dale said Muslims would say Islam was ‘entirely peaceful’, but Rev Ashenden said parts of the Koran ‘tell you to kill your enemies’. He then quoted verses which he said urged Muslims to ‘strike off the heads’ of ‘those who disbelieve’. When warned his comments could offend Muslims, he said: ‘If they are offended by my quoting the Koran they are not offended by me, they are offended by the Koran.’ He added: ‘If you’re going to talk about excitement in Christianity it’s about delivering people from evil and transforming people’s lives.’ Asked whether he would describe certain parts of the Koran as evil, he said: ‘I notice that they invite people to violence. I’ll let other people decide whether that’s good or evil.’ The Church of England did not respond when contacted last night. Buckingham Palace declined to comment. Airlines which fly suspected terrorists out of the country in breach of a

Summary: Rev Gavin Ashenden said some 100 passages in Koran incite violence . Said Bible instead preaches forgiveness and delivering people from sin . Asked if Koran was 'evil' he said 'I will let people decide for themselves'


Brazil's Miss BumBum runner-up Andressa Urach (above) is joining an evangelical church - weeks after she ended up in intensive care with 'rotting' legs . Brazil's Miss BumBum runner-up is joining an evangelical church - weeks after she ended up in intensive care with 'rotting' legs. Andressa Urach almost died from botched plastic surgery and feared she would lose her legs after fillers got infected and had to be removed. The 27-year-old, from Porto Alegre, has since revealed she thinks it was the prayers of her fans that brought her back from the brink of death. She is now planning on preaching to others about leading a pure life and claims to have already thrown away six wardrobes of clothes, lingerie and bikinis. The model has also removed any saucy snaps of her rear from her Twitter and Instagram accounts. She said: 'I believe completely that faith saved my life and it has changed my view about everything. 'It is not what you write or say that makes the difference with God but how you choose to live your life.' The mother-of-one came second in the popular Miss BumBum competition in 2012. She revealed she had two types of 'body fillers' - hydrogel and PMMA - injected into her upper legs to lift her bottom. She also had a nose job, a bioplasty facial 'correction', jaw reduction, boob job, liposuction and even vaginal lip reduction. But in July last year the model discovered the fillers were causing her leg muscles to rot, leaving her in excruciating pain. Miss Urach had an operation to drain 400ml of hydrogel from each leg - but she continued to complain of discomfort. Scroll down for video .

Miss Urach was back in hospital again just weeks after leaving intensive care after waking up in March with further inflammation. Her estimated medical bill is £27,000. She said at the time: 'I am suffering a lot, but God is with me. It's my fault, my vanity made me push the limits.

Warm applause fluttered around Wembley as Harry Kane slowly jogged up the touchline in the first half, but on the pitch Danny Welbeck was putting in a performance to indicate he is in no mood to step aside anytime soon. Roy Hodgson’s selection of Welbeck ahead of the in-form Kane in England Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania divided opinion across the nation ahead of kick-off. Should he have started the hot-shot Spurs striker, joint-top in the Premier League with Diego Costa on 19 and with 29 in all competitions? Or Welbeck who has been performing well for the national team but in-and-out of Arsenal’s starting line-up, struggling to eight goals in 34? Danny Welbeck leads the celebrations after putting England 2-0 ahead against Lithuania on Friday . Welbeck's header deflects into the back of the net to send England into a commanding lead . Welbeck is congratulated by England captain Wayne Rooney after scoring his sixth of the qualfying campaign . Former England striker Ian Wright thought the former. ‘Gutted that Harry Kane's not starting,’ he said before kick-off, ‘29 goals, form of his life.’ But within six minutes, the Arsenal man had justified the choice with a huge hand in the opener. Welbeck started on the left, but was to the right of goal when he nutmegged Lithuania’s Tadas Kijanskas with some nifty footwork and fired a shot across goal, which keeper Giedrius Arlauskis could only parry into the path of Wayne Rooney to head in. He almost set up a second on 19 minutes, again getting to the byline on the right before crossing deep to Rooney, who looped a header back across goal and on to the post. Welbeck was bright and alive around the box and got the goal his first-half performance deserved just before the break. Jordan Henderson crossed from the left and he diverted it in off a shoulder via a deflection. They all count. Welbeck caused the Lithuanian defence problems all evening and justified his selection . Welbeck is congratulated by former Manchester united team-mate Wayne Rooney after doubling the lead . Kane may be the latest boy wonder, yet Welbeck is the top-scorer in this Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. His goal moved him to six for the tournament, clear of Israel’s Omar Damari on five. Doubles against Slovenia and Switzerland, a goal versus San Marino and another against Lithuania is not a bad return. Say what you will about the strength of the opposition, but players can only score against what is put in front of them. Hodgson certainly recognised his value, choosing Welbeck as one of only four players - alongside Rooney, Gary Cahill and Nathaniel Clyne - to start from the last team he picked. Dat Guy Welbz, as he was dubbed by Ravel Morrison providing a nickname that went viral, did not let his manager down. He was close to adding another on 41 minutes, riding a challenge and bending a shot towards the top right corner from the edge of the box which was narrowly over. Welbeck is the first

Summary: England beat Lithuania 4-0 in a Euro 2016 qualifier at Wembley on Friday . Danny Welbeck had a hand in the first goal and scored the second . Welbeck was picked ahead of England new boy Harry Kane for the clash .
