Rohit Sharma hit his maiden World Cup century as India claimed a clinical 109 run victory over Bangladesh in the second quarter-final here on Thursday. It was the reigning World Cup champions’ 11th consecutive victory in a World Cup, second best only to Australia’s run of 25 matches between 2003-2011, as MS Dhoni won his 100th one-day international match as captain. Featuring in their first ever World Cup knockout match Bangladesh promised much early on as they restricted India to 125-3 from 30 overs but fell away under the pressure of the occasion, though there was an element of controversy. The platform for the resounding victory was set-up by Rohit’s measured innings as India posted 302 for six and was backed-up by an impressive 4-31 from Umesh Yadav as Bangladesh were bowled out for 193.

Sharma celebrates as he reaches his hundred in India's the World Cup quarter final at the MCG . Sharma jumps for joy on reaching his hundred in what turned out to be a match-winning innings . It’s hard to think of another set of fans that turn out in such support for their side and with such vociferously worldwide as the Indian supporters do. At times the noise from the immensely vocal crowd will tell you all you need to know about what is going on in the middle. And, while that support no doubt buoys the Indian players, it equally places them under an incredible amount of pressure. The type of pressure that has seen Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja’s places in the side constantly questioned because of the limited time they spent in the middle during the tournament. The mere fact that they have batted so little because the rest of India’s batsmen have performed so well is left by the way side. But if any of the players are feeling the weight of burden upon them then they are refusing to let it affect their game. In fact the players have risen to the task.

A self-driving car is gearing up for a 3,500-mile cross-country road trip from San Francisco to New York that begins next week. A person will always be behind the wheel of the autonomous car, developed by Delphi Automotive, in order to take control if there is a situation the vehicle cannot handle on its own. The car will begin its journey on March 22 so that it can reach New York in time for the International Auto Show. Scroll down for video . A self-driving car developed by Delphi Automotive is preparing for a 3,500-mile cross-country road trip next week that will take it from San Francisco to New York . Delphi, a major Michigan-based auto supplier, is planning for the car to drive eight hours a day for eight days. The autonomous vehicle will mainly stick to the highways, where it will be able to pass slower cars and maintain a safe distance from other automobiles all on its own. Delphi CTO Jeff Owens told WIRED the road trip will be the 'ultimate test' for the vehicle, as it will be exposed to a 'range of driving conditions' as well as various types of weather. It's design is based on a 2014 Audi SQ5. According to Delphi officials, the road trip will be the longest automated drive ever attempted in North America. In 2010 an autonomous van created by Italian company VisLab completed an 8,000-mile journey from Europe to Shanghai for three months. Unlike Google's driverless car (pictured), Dephi's vehicle senors are tucked in the car's front, rear and sides and thus cannot be seen. Although it will be the Delphi car's longest journey, it won't be its first. The Delphi vehicle has driven around the company's Silicon Valley office and has already completed a trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles. But the car really earned its stripes when, during a demonstration at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show in January, it braked by itself as two drunk men stumbled into the street in front of it. Delphi says the vehicle is capable of making complex decisions, like stopping and then proceeding at a four-way stop, merging onto the highway or maneuvering around a bicyclist or a trash can. When the car wants the driver to resume control, it uses a verbal warning and flashes lights on the dashboard. Although most experts say a true driverless vehicle is at least a decade away, Delphi's autonomous automobile is helping the technology look more like a regular car. Unlike other driverless cars developed by Google and Honda, the lidar sensors on Dephi's vehicle are tucked in the car's front, rear and sides and thus cannot be seen. The car also has cameras throughout, including one that watches the driver. Because lidar systems can cost around $70,000 apiece, they drive up the price of the autonomous prototypes. But Delphi engineer Doug Welk said one of the reasons for the road trip is to help decide what combination of sensors is best suited for the car, which will ultimately help lower costs. Delphi estimates

Summary: The Delphi Automotive car will drive eight hours a day for eight days . There will be a driver behind the wheel in case there is a situation car cannot handle on its own . Delphi said trip will be 'ultimate test', as car will be exposed to a range of driving conditions and weather changes . Car will mainly stick to highways, where it will be able to pass slower cars and maintain a safe distance behind other automobiles all on its own .


After Barcelona took a giant step towards winning the La Liga title with a 2-1 win in El Clasico on Sunday night the squad looked ready to celebrate in style - except Lionel Messi that is. While team-mates including Neymar Jnr, Dani Alves, and Adriano got suited and booted in their garish designer suits, the Argentina forward opted for a more conservative look. On the pitch Messi has the ability to set the place alight but his ensemble on Sunday night left him looking distinctly average in comparison to his South American team-mates. Lionel Messi, Adriano, Bartra, Dani Alves, Neymar and Rafinha get suited and booted after the triumph . Goalscoring hero Luis Suarez poses for a pic with fellow frontmen Messi and Neymar after the victory . Barca's attacking trio pose for another dressing room snap after beating rivals Real Madrid . The 27-year-old plumped for a plain black jumper and the sort of grey trousers you might have worn as part of a school uniform. In fact, Messi wouldn't have looked out of place delivering a lesson to a group of geography students. That said, even the snappiest of dressers might be made to feel like a wallflower standing next to the flamboyant Neymar and Alves. The Brazilian duo caused quite a stir on social media with their choice of attire. Alves went for a silver jacket and gold shoes combo . While a night of celebrations might have been in order for some of the squad, Gerard Pique, who turned in a superb defensive performance at the Nou Camp, looked set for a quiet night in with the missus. After his impressive performance, Pique left the stadium with his pop star girlfriend Shakira . Suarez scored the winner for Barcelona in their 2-1 win over Real Madrid at the Nou Camp . Barcelona celebrated after moving four points clear of their rivals in La Liga with 10 games remaining . The Spain international was pictured leaving the stadium hand-in-hand with long-term pop star girlfriend Shakira. Pique earned rave reviews as Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema were kept relatively quiet during what could prove a season-defining victory. And Shakira appeared as impressed by her man's performance as anyone tweeting: 'Gerard Pique is THE Defender! Shak.' Jeremy Mathieu and Luis Suarez scored for the hosts either side of a Cristiano Ronaldo striker as Barcelona opened up a four-point lead over rivals Real Madrid.

The saying 'Rome wasn't built in a day' couldn't be more apt for super slimmer Kirste Crompton who has recently lost ten stone. It has taken one year, and lots of hard work, but the mother-of-five has transformed her body after running 1,820 miles on a treadmill at home – the exact distance from Scotland to the Italian capital. The 42-year-old has also lost seven dress sizes in the process, taking her from a dangerous 21st and dress size 24 to a healthy and happy 11st and size 10. Scroll down for video . Kirste Crompton, 42, from Bootle, Liverpool has lost an incredible 10 stone in her own living room . At her heaviest, Kirste, 5.8", was too 'embarrassed' to work out in public and instead paid £65 a month to rent a treadmill from the comfort of her home. Today, the housewife and mother runs an amazing 35 miles a week, has recently completed her first marathon and is now hoping to compete in a triathlon. She has also raised over £600 for The April Jones Trust, after befriending April's mother, Coral, on Facebook. Speaking at her home in Bootle, Liverpool she says: 'I can't believe how far I've come. 'Less than a year ago I could barely walk, now I'm running marathons and am as fit as a fiddle. 'What's more, I'm an active mum and can actually play with my kids and take them swimming without my huge tummy getting in the way. I'm a new person.' In April 2010, Kirste, then 38, was diagnosed with postnatal depression after giving birth to her youngest daughter, Honey, now four. The mother-of-five rented a treadmill for £65 a month and turned her dining room into a home-gym . She recalls: 'Up until then I'd been around 13st and a size 12 to 14. But following Honey's birth I fell into deep depression and struggled to get out of bed in the morning. 'I turned to food for comfort and would lock myself in my room for hours eating.' Kirste's devoted husband David Crompton, 36, a former soldier, looked after Honey and Kirste's other four children from a previous relationship: Stockard, 9, Pacey, 11, Hermione, 13 and Darcy, 16. At her lowest ebb, the mother-of-five was eating family-sized bags of crisps, drinking three bottles of white wine and eating saucepans full of pasta for dinner. 'Food was becoming an addiction,' she continues, 'It was all I thought about.' Within the space of four years, Kirste had ballooned from a size 12 to a 24 and was tipping the scales at 21 stone. She says: 'I was morbidly obese and was so ashamed of my wide girth I couldn't face looking in the mirror or getting dressed in the mornings. Kirste, pictured on her wedding day, says she was once 'an embarrassment to my kids,' 'More importantly, it was preventing me from being a good mother. I was so overweight I couldn't pick Honey up or play with my kids because my gigantic tummy was in the way.' Kirste explains that she

Summary: Kirste Crompton of Bootle, Liverpool slimmed from a size 24 to size 10 . The mother of five, 42, put on weight after suffering post-natal depression .

A grandson was today accused of illegally owning a dangerous dog which killed his grandmother in a savage attack in her home. Cardiff Magistrates' Court heard Craig Greve, 23, of Cardiff, was the owner of the American bulldog which was dangerously out of control. Rhona Greve, 64, of Ely, Cardiff, suffered 16 bite wounds to her neck and face after the dog - named Solo - attacked her last Friday evening, the court was told. She later died at the University Hospital of Wales, in Cardiff. Scroll down for video . Mother-of-four Rhona Greve, 64, (pictured) died after she was savaged by a dog in her own home . Mr Greve is charged with both having a dog while being banned for life from doing so, and being the owner of a dangerously out of control dog. He pleaded not guilty to both charges at the magistrates' court hearing today. Members of his family and friends were in the public gallery for the hearing which lasted nearly an hour. The case has been sent to Cardiff crown court and he was remanded in custody. Her heartbroken daughter Clare said: 'I got the call to say: "Your mum's been savaged by a dog". 'It all happened so quickly. When I arrived at hospital she was already gone. 'They asked me if I wanted to see her body but I didn't have the heart. I didn't want to see her like that. She added: 'She was a brilliant mum and she didn't deserve to go like that. I can only imagine what Craig is going through right now. He must be devastated. 'We're all waiting to find out more about what has happened. You just never expect something like this.' Officers were called to the home in Ely shortly after 10pm on Friday to reports that a 64-year-old woman had suffered serious injuries . The court heard how grandson Greve lived with his grandmother - and was brought up 'like her own child'. She took him in when his mother Amanda, 40, had a stroke at a 'very young age'. Greve told police how he returned home to find the American bulldog standing above his grandmother in the kitchen. Mrs Greve suffered neck and face injuries after she was mauled by the out-of-control dog . Prosecutor Katy McMahon said: 'As a result of the dog being out of control, it has caused harm to Rhona Greve resulting in her death. 'She sustained significant injuries and died later in hospital.' Police were called by neighbours and the court heard officers said the dog was 'snarling with blood on its teeth.' Miss McMahon said: 'Officers described the dog as going beserk.' His lawyer Trudy McBride said: 'This is an extremely tragic case. He is the grandson of the deceased. He saw what happened and was with her when she passed away.' Rhona had been a full-time carer for her husband Malcolm as he battled lung disease emphysema. After his death more than five years ago Rhona loved the American bulldog keeping her company. A friend said:

A friend of Jewish schoolgirl Anne Frank has told of the moment the two were reunited at a Nazi concentration camp - where she found her 15-year-old friend emaciated and wrapped only in blankets as she struggled to survive the camp's harsh conditions. Nanette Konig, 85, had known Anne from school and had attended the teenager's birthday party where she received the infamous diary in which she went on to detail her life hiding from the Nazis. After being captured, the classmates spent around two years apart before being reunited in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany. Recalling their chance encounter within the camp, Mrs Konig said: 'She was depleted, wrapped in blankets because her clothes were full of lice. Scroll down for video . Nanette Konig holds a photo of herself aged 12, when she was captured by the Nazis and imprisoned in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. She has now recalled the moment her friend Anne Frank was given a diary which she later used to detail life hiding from the Nazis . Mrs Konig holds the yellow star she was forced to wear while living in Amsterdam under Nazi occupation . 'It was really awful because she had completely wasted away. There was nothing left of her. Even today I don't know how we two skeletons could have recognised each other.' Now Mrs Konig pays tribute to Anne, who died aged 15, just weeks before the camp was liberated 70 years ago. The pair were just two of the millions of Jews rounded up into concentration camps following persecution from the Nazis. More than six million Jews were killed worldwide in the genocide. Anne's parents Margot and Otto Frank were deported to a transit camp with Anne and her sister Margot and then on to Auschwitz. When Anne and her sister were taken to Bergen-Belsen in October that year, Mrs Konig spotted her friend through a barbed wire fence. Mrs Konig said: 'I saw Anne walking on the other side of some barbed wire. 'I couldn't go near it though, I would have been tortured or killed.' But when the wire was taken down and Mrs Konig next spotted her friend, she grabbed Anne's attention and the girls met up to talk several times. 'I am the only one in that class who met her again in Bergen-Belsen. I was in camp seven and she was in camp eight. 'I met her several times and it was from Anne that I learnt what was happening in Auschwitz.

Fans of the Clangers will be relieved to see they have not changed much as they return to our screens . With their pink woolly noses and whistling speech, the Clangers were among the most memorable children’s TV characters of the 1970s. And fans will be relieved to see they have not changed much as they return to our screens. Last night, the BBC gave viewers the first glimpse of the Clangers, which have been reinvented for a £5million series due to be broadcast in spring. The Clanger family – Major, Mother, Small, Tiny and Granny – are still knitted from wool and look similar to the original series’ characters. They also still live together on the moon in the new series, which will be narrated by actor and presenter Michael Palin. Advances in animation since The Clangers first aired more than 45 years ago will mean some slight differences. ‘We are able to give them more personality – a little twitch of the ear which can say so much,’ said Jackie Edwards, the series’ executive producer. ‘But she added: ‘The new series is very faithful to the original. It is still made with wool and love… there is a magic about The Clangers that’s enduring. You can tell what they’re saying.’ Fans of The Clangers were immediately taken with the teaser, declaring the creatures just as ‘adorable’ as the originals. ‘My four-year old was entrances,’ said one viewer on Twitter. ‘Now this takes me back!’ said another. The original series of The Clangers aired in 1969, and ran for 26 episodes until November 1972. There was also a four-minute election special broadcast in 1974. The £5million new series will be narrated by actor, presenter and comedian Michael Palin, pictured . Last night’s episode explained to children what a solar eclipse is, ahead of the eclipse expected to take place this morning. It stressed that viewers should take care of their sight, only viewing the phenomenon through special goggles. The series has had heavy involvement from Daniel Postgate, the son of Oliver Postgate, who co-created and narrated the original version of The Clangers.

Summary: Memorable 1970s show has been reinvented for a £5million spring series . The Clangers remake will be narrated by actor and presenter Michael Palin . Last night’s episode explained to children what a solar eclipse is .

Ben Cooper, controller of BBC Radio 1, said yesterday that he 'wouldn't expect members of his family to put up with such treatment at work' The BBC is facing mounting pressure not to let Jeremy Clarkson off the hook if its investigation concludes that he did punch a Top Gear producer. Ben Cooper, controller of BBC Radio 1, said yesterday that he wouldn't expect members of his family to put up with such treatment at work and that the allegations must be 'dealt with in a very serious way'. 'If my son or daughter went to a place of work where they were shouted at, abused and someone threw a punch at them, then I would want there to be an inquiry and I would want that to be dealt with in a very serious way,' he said. Tory MP John Whittingdale also waded into the row last night, warning that the BBC should not make any special allowances for Clarkson, pictured yesterday on his bike, regardless of his show's popularity. Mr Whittingdale, chairman of the culture, media and sport select committee, said: 'Jeremy Clarkson should be given no special dispensation. He should be treated like any other employee at the BBC and the same disciplinary rules should apply to him as to anyone else.' He added that it would be 'hard to see the case' for keeping Clarkson if he is found to have punched producer Oisin Tymon. Ben Cooper, controller of BBC Radio 1, has said the allegations against Jeremy Clarkson, pictured on a bicycle in West London yesterday, should be 'dealt with in a very serious way' Clarkson was suspended by the BBC two weeks ago, following allegations of a ‘fracas’ with producer Oisin Tymon (left) over hot food . Top Gear is sold in more than 200 countries, bringing in around £50million a year for the BBC. Clarkson was keen to stress his commercial clout in next month's Top Gear magazine, which was written before the latest row erupted and will go on sale on Friday. He warned against Top Gear becoming boring, saying: 'We could talk about fuel economy. And hire purchase plans. But, if we did, we'd be left with almost no viewers in the UK, and no foreign sales.' Clarkson allegedly punched Mr Tymon when he was offered cold cuts instead of a hot steak after a long day of filming. He is also said to have called the producer a 'lazy Irish ****', during what the BBC described as a 'fracas'. Lord Tony Hall, BBC director-general, is expected to deliver his verdict on Clarkson's future as soon as today.

Six suspected IRA terrorists thought to be behind a string of bomb attacks in Britain are facing new police probes after the Government withdraw controversial letters insisting they were no longer wanted. The fugitive paramilitary suspects had all received so-called 'comfort letters' under a peace deal negotiated by Tony Blair. telling them they could return to the UK without fear of being charged. But the letters only came to light last year after the collapse of the terror trail of IRA suspect John Downey, who was accused of murdering four soldiers in the 1982 Hyde Park bombing in London. Tony Blair negotiated a deal with Sinn Fein in which on-the-run terror suspects not wanted by police received 'comfort letters' The case against Mr Downey was thrown out after he produced a letter from the Government telling him he was no longer wanted and was free to travel to the UK. In the fall-out from the trail's collapse, Government ministers launched an inquiry into the letters – and insisted they were not 'get out of jail free cards' for terrorists. Following the Government's intervention detectives now believe these 'comfort letters' do not protect suspects from prosecution, documents leaked to the Telegraph reveal. The Police Service of Northern Ireland wrote to MPs on the Northern Ireland affairs select committee last week, revealing the major new phase in its inquiries into the 'on the run' cases. In the letter, Will Kerr, the Assistant Chief Constable, said the PSNI did not believe there was any barrier to prosecuting 'on the run' suspects who had been sent 'comfort letters' – because Coalition Government ministers have recently said the letters had no legal force. 'Whilst prosecutorial challenges may still lie ahead, the obstacles to investigating, arresting and charging suspects appear to have been removed,' Mr Kerr said. The PSNI will 'prioritise' re-examining the cases of 36 'on the runs' whose status was changed from 'wanted' to 'not wanted' during the scheme run by Mr Blair's government under which Mr Downey was mistakenly given a letter of assurance. It is understood that 'comfort letters' were given to suspects in the Harrods car bomb in 1983, which killed six and injured 90, and the Remembrance Day bombing in Enniskillen in 1987. Tony Blair said the peace process with Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams (right) and Martin McGuinness would have collapsed without the letters . Other atrocities under investigation could include the Regent's Park bombing, in which seven military bandsmen were killed, on the same day as the Hyde Park bombing in 1982, and the 1984 Brighton bomb, which targeted the Grand Hotel where Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet members were staying, killing five people and injuring 34. It comes as MPs prepare to publish a year-long inquiry into the 'comfort letters' scheme. As part of the peace deal bringing an end to the conflict in Northern Ireland, IRA terrorists serving prison terms were let out of prison early. But this left the problem of fugitive terror suspects who had never faced trial. In a controversial agreement was reached between Mr Blair and

Summary: Fugitive paramilitary suspects had received so-called 'comfort letters' 'On the runs' not wanted by police were told they could return to the UK . Letters emerged in trial of Hyde Park bomb suspect John Downey . But the Government have insisted the letters do not provide immunity . The police have now confirmed they are probing six IRA suspects .


I'm 33 and have been single for nearly four years. Most of my friends hint, imply or say it's my fault for being too shallow, picky and prone to falling for bad boys. I use Tinder, the dating app synonymous with casual sex, to meet attractive men who meet my high standards. Yvette Caster, 33, had been single for four years, before she decided to do an experiment where she swiped right to all men on Tinder for a week . It's a great way of filtering out those you find physically unattractive - just swipe left and they can't even message you. If you like them you swipe right and, if they feel the same, you can chat. Most of the time I swipe right to one in 50 - many are too old (over 35), too young (under 25), too dull (into sport), too much of a party animal or simply too ugly. But, after another friend accused me of being picky, I decided to see what would happen if I swiped right to ALL men on Tinder for a week. Here's what happened. Sunday . The first day is the worst. Within a few minutes I've swiped right to someone with head to foot tattoos, a man with his three children and lots of frowning blokes in their pants. After an hour I'm exhausted, depressed and have opened the flood gates for 80, mostly unsuitable, suitors. Monday . I get up at 6.30am to swipe right to man who looks like a serial killer, a Ricky Gervais double and a range of football logos (you can put any image as your profile picture). Then a message from Tinder appears. They've noticed my promiscuous swiping and I can't 'like' another man for another 24 hours. Why would I want to? I've already received 43 matches and seven messages before 9am. After the first day of swiping right to all men, the London-based journalist was met with 43 matches and seven messages, all before 9am . Tuesday . I have messages from 22 men and am chatting to all of them to avoid being 'too picky'. The fact they want to talk to me is a revelation. I usually have messages from two men a week, tops. Of the 22, a couple are lascivious but the majority are from nice, down to earth guys. It's just a shame so few of them can spell. I haven't messaged any of them first, either, as I prefer them to do the chasing. Wednesday . It's only just dawning on me how much admin is involved in being promiscuous. Keeping 22 different chats going is hard work and confusing, especially when so many men are called Dave. At times I copy and paste the same message to all the guys, which is rude but it's either that or no reply. I can't quite believe so many of them are being so polite. My normal Tinder experience, picking only the hot guys, is sleazy pick up lines followed by unsolicited pictures or their penis or

Summary: London-based journalist, Yvette Caster, has been single for four years . Before the experiment, she had been told by friends that she was too picky . The 33-year-old went from receiving messages from two men a week, to 22 . By the end of the week she had 69 matches and had scored three dates .

The NHS is helping launch a new generation of apps to help people cope with stress, anxiety and depression – just by using their mobile phones. GPs will be able to prescribe the apps to patients put off by the prospect of talking to a counsellor. Health chiefs believe they will also help millions of people unwilling to go to a doctor in the first place. Tim Kelsey, the Government’s ‘digital health tsar’, said he wanted to produce ‘a sort of NHS-endorsed app store for mental health’, hosted on the NHS Choices website. A new generation of apps has been launched to help people cope with stress, anxiety and depression – just by using their mobile phones . But he admitted many would question whether screens could ever be as effective as face-to-face therapy, and stressed it was not a question of one or the other. He said: ‘If people want and need one-to-one counselling, then that’s absolutely what they will get. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), 350 million people of all ages suffer from depression worldwide. It is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and is a major contributor to the global burden of disease, it said. GPs will be able to prescribe the apps for mobile phones to patients put off by the prospect of talking to a counsellor . At its worst, depression can lead to suicide. Suicide results in an estimated 1 million deaths every year, the WHO warns. In recent studies, depression has also been found to affect the way that people experience time. Research found that time seems to pass extremely slowly or even stand still when a person suffers from depression. Dr Daniel Oberfeld-Twistel, of Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, said: 'Psychiatrists and psychologists in hospitals and private practices repeatedly report that depressed patients feel that time only creeps forward slowly or is passing in slow motion. 'We found strong indicators that in depressed individuals the subjective feeling of the passage of time differs from the ability to assess the actual duration of external events.' His team looked at the results from 16 individual studies in which 433 depressed people and 485 non-depressed people participated. In the studies, the participants were asked to estimate the duration of periods of time. The results obtained for the depressed subjects were exactly the same as those for the healthy ones without any relevant statistical difference. 'We found strong indicators that in depressed individuals the subjective feeling of the passage of time differs from the ability to assess the actual duration of external events,' concluded Dr Oberfeld-Twistel. He added his team identified several aspects of the relation between depression and time perception that have not yet been investigated adequately. Little is actually known about the effects of antidepressants and psychotherapy, or how patients with bipolar disorders compared to non-bipolar depression assess the passing of time. Future studies need to clearly differentiate between the subjective perception of the passage of time, and a person's ability to estimate the precisely defined lengths of time, he added. Flintoff, once

Summary: The NHS is launching phone apps to help people cope with depression . GPs can prescribe apps to patients who don't want to talk to a counsellor . But health chiefs stressed one-to-one counselling would still be available .

Tiny robots that can swim in the bloodstream and attack diseases may sound as if they belong in a sci-fi film. But these so-called nanorobots are set to be used to treat a person who is seriously ill with leukaemia. The lead researcher behind the innovation hopes the patient could be cured within a month - and has already successfully tested the machines in animals. Scroll down for videos . Nanorobots (pictured) which are made from a DNA 'cage' and hold a payload of drugs, could be used to treat a person who is seriously ill with leukaemia. The lead researcher behind the innovation hopes that the patient could be cured within a month, based upon successful tests in animals . Ido Bachelet, who was previously at Harvard’s Wyss Institute in Boston, Massachusetts and Israel’s Bar-Ilan University, intends to treat a patient who has been given six months to live. The patient is set to receive an injection of DNA nanorobots designed to interact with and destroy leukaemia cells without damaging healthy tissue. Speaking in December, he said: ‘Judging from what we saw [in tests], within a month that person is going to recover. Nanorobots can be programmed to independently recognise target cells and deliver payloads, such as cancer drugs, to these cells. The double helixes stay closed until specific molecules or proteins on the surface of cancer cells act like a 'key' to open the ‘barrel’ so the payload can be deployed. This diagram shows the nanorobot being 'unlocked' so the drugs (shown in purple) are released . Nanorobots are 'devices' made from DNA that are so small they can be injected into the bloodstream and carry a payload of drugs to specific cells. They are built upon a single strand of DNA which is combined with short synthetic strands of DNA designed by the experts. When mixed together, they self-assemble into a desired shape, which in this case looks a bit like an open-ended barrel. The robots have two halves linked together by flexible DNA hinges, which are held shut by latches that are DNA double helixes . A complementary piece of DNA is attached to a payload of drugs, which enables it to bind to the inside of the biological barrel. The double helixes stay closed until specific molecules or proteins on the surface of cancer cells act like a 'key' to open the ‘barrel’ so the payload can be deployed. Nanorobots can recognise a small population of target cells within a large population. George Church, who is involved in the research at the Wyss Institute explained the idea of the microscopic robots is to make a ‘cage’ that protects a fragile or toxic payload and ‘only releases it at the right moment.’ The nanorobots are built upon a single strand of DNA which is combined with short synthetic strands of DNA designed by the experts. When mixed together, they self-assemble into a desired shape, which in this case looks a little like a barrel. Dr Bachelet said: 'The nanorobot we designed actually looks like an open-ended barrel, or

Summary: Team at Harvard’s Wyss Institute in Massachusetts created nanorobots . They could be used to treat a leukaemia patient with just six months to live . Nanorobots are made from DNA strands and carry a payload of drugs . Inventor hopes innovation could revolutionise how drugs are delivered and be used to diagnose abnormal cells before they become cancerous .


An eight-year-old girl will complete 600 acts of kindness in memory of her late grandmother this month. Alex McKelvey of Washington state thought of the idea in 2013 after losing her grandmother, Linda, and set out to complete 60 random acts of kindness by March 22, 2014 - which would have been her grandmother's 60th birthday. But because she enjoyed giving to others so much, the first-grader, who has completed 487 acts to date, will have completed 600 acts of kindness by March 22, 2015. Scroll down for video .

She added: 'Alex had so much fun that day, you could see the joy on her face and so we said why not add an extra zero and go for 600?'

Hitching a ride: Ron the friendly seal attempts to climb onto a kayak in Poole Bay, Dorset . Attempt one: The young pup makes it onto one of the kayaks, and momentarily keeps his balance . He then manages to get onto the left kayak, but just as it looks like he has found himself a comfortable spot - he falls in again. The pup, known locally as Ron the Seal, finally succeeds by draping himself across both of the kayaks. Kayaker Andrew Linstead shot the video of the young seal's repeated attempts to climb aboard his raft as he paddled in Poole Bay.

Fail: Unfortunately for Ron the Seal, he cannot manage to stay on the kayak, and falls back in the water . On it again: Ron the seal proves he is not a quitter and is soon at it again, trying to climb the kayaks . A month later, the pair met again, as Ron jumped on the back of his kayak and hitched a ride around for several hours. The latest encounter, filmed by Mr Linstead, lasted for four hours with Ron climbing on and off Mr Linstead's kayak and even bringing him a fish it had caught. Mr Linstead, from London, said: 'I've had quite a few encounters with Ron now, we are becoming good friends! 'The first time I saw him was when I was practising rolling my kayak. Ron seemed to roll whenever I rolled my kayak. 'Afterwards I put a message on a Facebook local community page asking if anyone knew anything about the seal and I got lots of responses. The locals have called it Ron, as in Ronseal. 'I think when Ron now sees me he feels comfortable. 'This time I was out on my own and I saw another kayaker. I asked him if he could brace or roll his kayak in case Ron got on his boat and tipped up over.

A 26-year-old teacher from Oregon has been jailed in Japan after receiving a bottle of prescribed Adderall pills in the mail for her attention deficit disorder. Carrie Russell has been held at a detention center near Nagoya since February 20 over the pills, the Oregonian reported. Amphetamines - which include Adderall - are illegal in Japan. Russell's mother, who is a doctor in Portland, originally sent her daughter's prescription to South Korea which the 26-year-old then forwarded on to Nagoya where she was moving for an English teaching job, according to the newspaper. Carrie Russell has been jailed in Japan after receiving a bottle of Adderall pills in the mail in order to treat her attention deficit disorder. The drug is illegal in Japan . Authorities found Russell's pills tucked inside a Tylenol bottle, the Oregonian reported. Dr Jill Russell told the newspaper she put the pills in the Tylenol bottle so as not to draw the attention of thieves wanting to sell them. She also said that she acted out of concern for her daughter's social standing if anybody saw the pills. She said in an affidavit obtained by the newspaper: 'My repackaging was not an attempt to break or circumvent the law. It was intended to preserve Carrie's privacy and dignity around a sensitive issue regarding medication to treat a disorder which falls under the area of mental health.' Miss Russell's family said that she has been in a detention facility near Nagoya, Japan since last month . The 26-year-old was arrested at a Tokyo restaurant where she was dining with friends on February 20 and jailed, the Oregonian reported.

Amphetamines were banned by Japan in the 1950s. The Oregonian also pointed out that there is a mental health stigma in the country. Russell's family learned about what happened on February 21 - one day after her arrest - according to the newspaper. The family's attorney in Portland, Loren Podwill - who is Carrie Russell's stepfather - told the NY Daily News that her family was working with the State Department to find a 'quick and successful resolution'.

HACK ATTACK: State Department computers were compromised by intruders thought to be working from inside Russia . The U.S. State Department, already beset with allegations that it hasn't kept a tight enough leash on its officials' email accounts, shut down some of its unclassified email servers on Friday in order to clear out what sources say was a rash of malware inserted by foreign hackers. Cybersecurity officials at State believe Russian hackers are to blame but described the breach of their networks only as 'activity of concern.' The State Department did its best to handle the problem quietly, making no announcement during the regular daily reporters' briefing on Friday and issuing a subdued statement 21 minutes before the end of the work day. ABC News reported that the cyber intrusion is one of the most serious in the agency's history. But State framed it as a 'planned outage' and a routine 'upgrade' to its digital security systems, blocking its employees from sending outside emails and shuttering their Web browsers for an unspecified stretch of time that could last for days. 'As a part of the Department of State's ongoing effort to ensure the integrity of our unclassified networks against cyber attacks,' spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement, 'the Department is implementing improvements to the security of its main unclassified network during a short, planned outage of some internet-linked systems.' 'The Department continues to closely monitor and respond to activity of concern on our unclassified network. Such activity is something we take very seriously.' NOTHING TO SEE HERE -- MOVE ALONG ... State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki downplayed the damage, saying that a 'planned outage' was in the works . MALWARE: Hackers inserted malicious code into nonclassified computers at the State Department, leaving tech experts no choice but to shut everything down and clean it up . 'There has been no compromise of any of the Department's classified systems, nor of our core financial, consular, and human resource systems,' Psaki claimed. 'The recent increase in news reports regarding cyber incidents reflects that the Department is among a growing list of public institutions and private industries facing an increasing number of sophisticated cyber threats.' This isn't the first such outage to hit America's diplomatic nerve center: The same kind of event happened once in November when the State Department carried out what it called an 'upgrade' following an October cyber attack. Two State Department employees told Daily Mail Online that they couldn't reach websites from their office computers during the dinner hour on Friday, and confirmed that no emails were going in or out other than interdepartmental messages. Hackers have run roughshod over computer servers in the executive branch of the U.S. government in recent years, targeting the White House on a regular basis. In October, following an outage covering much of the Executive Office of the President, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters it should 'not be particularly surprising' that 'there are many people around the world who would love to gain greater insight into the activities of the United

Summary: Not the first time America's diplomatic nerve center has been compromised . White House also had sustained cyber attacks last year . FBI offering reward for Russian hacker behind 'botnet' that stole $100 million from American bank accounts .

In a terrifying abduction attempt a Sydney nurse has fought off a stranger who tried to drag her into the boot of his car. The 28-year-old nurse was walking along Falcon Street after finishing a late shift at North Shore Private Hospital when a silver BMW pulled up and a man jumped from the car. He grabbed the nurse, put his hand over her mouth and tried to drag her into the boot of the car.

Detectives have collected CCTV footage from the station, believed to show the traumatised woman running inside. Officers also took footage from cameras at businesses on Crows Nest's main drag, including some showing the nurse walking on her own. Superintendent Allan Sicard says every detective in his local command is on the case and the Sex Crimes Squad is involved. Supt Sicard said getting kicked in the groin must have left this man in pain and anyone he might have gone home to might have noticed. The terrified nurse ran to a nearby petrol station and contacted police . ‘Someone will know this man,’ he said. ‘He might have come to someone's house, someone's unit, someone's social group, been in a degree of pain, anxious or maybe sweating.’ He said the attack was extremely out of character for the lower north shore area and asked the public not to let the fear of crime rule their lives. In wake of the attack, the hospital has advised staff to avoid walking home alone in the dark.
