For most couples, the idea of shared interests in a middle-aged relationship are trips to the garden centre, a meal in the local pub or maybe a visit to the cinema. For Tony Williams, 58, a retired Head of Security and Debbie Dowsett, 42, a hairdresser and beautician from Hainault in Essex, their idea of a shared hobby is having affairs with other people. The couple, who have been together for the last 17 years, are both signed up to different marital affair dating websites and have relationships with several men and women, while all the while sharing a home and a life together. The couple even share their BED with their dates. Scroll down for video .

The couple were completely open with each other from the start, taking each other’s profile pictures and recommending what to say in their information section. Since then, they have surfed each site together on a daily basis, commenting on the different men or women available. Tony told FEMAIL: ‘We go through each other's websites on the laptop together about once a day because we don't hide anything. ‘Occasionally Debbie says no to a man and I’ll ask why not, just because I'm curious about what's alright with A but not B. ‘But we don't vet. Debbie is free to choose what she likes and I'm free to choose what I like.’ Debbie is signed up to the website Illicit Encounters . From that moment on though, the way that they communicate on their individual websites is personal. In four years, they have both had several successes with the opposite sex. Tony has met up with roughly 15 women, with some extending to romances that last several months, others have been one night stands and a few have amounted to nothing at all. He said: ‘It all boils down to chemistry when you meet. Things have gone further with five or six people for me over the years. ‘I've probably met about 15 over the last four years but obviously don't seen them all long term - my longest friendship has gone on for seven months. ‘It's fairly regular, maybe once a month that you go and meet someone, or every two weeks maybe.’ Debbie has had a similar success rate with the men she has met, although she has continued to have a relationship with around six of them for roughly the last two years. She said: ‘There’s about five or six that I see on a permanent basis and one that I see every ten days or so. ‘The others I see when they can get off work, so about every couple of weeks and one of them about every four weeks. ‘They've all be around for

The family of the six-year-old Oregon boy publicly shamed for being late to school thought they were simply getting their car repaired when they were surprised with a newly refurbished minivan. Hunter Cmelo's parents Nicole Garloff and Mark Cmelo were told their Dodge Durango had been repaired after local Medford businesses heard he was late because their car was old and unreliable. But when the family arrived at Kelly's Automotive, they was presented with a 2001 Chrysler minivan, complete with a new windshield, two new tires and free oil changes for a year. Scroll down for video . The family of the six-year-old Hunter Cmelo, who was forced into eating his lunch behind a screen because his parents dropped him off one minute late to school, have been gifted a refurbished minivan (pictured) The photograph of the boy forced into eating his lunch behind a screen attracted global attention and shamed the school to change its detention policy for tardiness. But it was a local radio host who came up with the idea to get the family a reliable car. Bill Meyer saw the photograph of Hunter after Garloff posted it on her Facebook and immediately wanted to help the family tackle the 'root of the problem'. 'I saw the school policy as being unjust, but I saw the root of the trouble was car trouble,' he told ABC News. Meyer initially enlisted the help of Kelly's Automotive owner Lisa McClease-Kelly to repair the family's Dodge, but she soon realized the repairs would cost more 'than what the car was actually worth'. That's when local company Rapid Repo and Collections stepped in and offered to donate the Chrysler. Fellow businesses in the Medford and Grants Pass neighborhood chipped in to outfit the car with updated parts. They also gave the family a $100 gas card and two $60 gift cards, according to OregonLive. McClease-Kelly, who contributed an additional $1,400 worth of repairs, said the family was completely taken by surprise with the gift. Local radio host Bill Meyer saw the photo of Hunter eating alone behind this cardboard divider and said he saw 'the school policy as unjust' and wanted to get to the root of the problem - the family's frequent car trouble . The school district said that the system is supposed to give children the chance to catch up on work they have missed by being late - but staff have now agreed to stop using the screen . 'When I handed dad Mark the key to the minivan, he was speechless and extremely grateful,' she told OregonLive. Meyer said all it took was a little 'nudge' to help the deserving family. 'The family never asked for the help. All they ever wanted was to change school policy' he told ABC News. 'Everyone else came in with their time and generosity.' As for Hunter's family, they said the outpouring of community support still 'doesn't seem real'. 'I'm trying to tell Hunter that this doesn't just happen to you,' Garloff said. Last month, Hunter's picture was shared around the Internet

A motorcyclist suffered a pierced scrotum when the force of a crash forced his broken thigh bone into his genitalia. The 33-year-old was admitted to Ulm University Hospital in Germany with a 'hard, swollen, bluish scrotum and an externally rotated and slightly shortened left leg'.

Leighton Baines may have been an Everton defender for eight years, but it seems he still isn't quite sure who is in charge of what at the club. Baines, who is currently out of the side because of an injury, was a pundit for ITV's coverage of his team's 2-1 win over Dinamo Kiev. But when asked about how his team defend from corners, following Oleg Gusev's first half header, Baines seemed completely stumped over who makes the decisions - even though he has played 63 times under manager Roberto Martinez. Oleg Gusev heads home Dynamo Kiev's first goal, with no player on the near post for Everton . Gusev celebrates, but Leighton Baines was unsure as to why there was no-one defending on the line . 'I'm not too sure,' said Baines, when asked whether it was Tim Howard's decision not to have a man on the near post at corners, or if the orders came from Martinez. 'We get the organisation before the game from the manager and the assistant manager before the game, so I'm not too sure who makes the final call.' What Baines was confident about was that the defending wasn't good enough. 'There's shades of the goal we conceded against Arsenal as well,' he added. Everton bounced back from the early set-back, as goals from Steven Naismith and Romelu Lukaku saw them take a lead from the first leg. Baines has been at the club for eight years, but still doesn't seem sure who calls the shots at Everton .

Summary: Leighton Baines was a pundit for Everton's win over Dynamo Kiev . Baines was asked who decides how to defend corners . The England defender twice said he wasn't sure who made the decisions . Everton conceded from a set piece, but went on to win 2-1 .

A South Australian man holidaying in Vanuatu reportedly survived on a diet of flying fox and small native birds after bunking down with locals in the aftermath of Cyclone Pam. Three days before the category five cyclone hit 45–year-old Andrew Brooks travelled south to Tanna Island in the hopes he could climb the active Yasur volcano. The thrill seeker got more than he bargained for as the powerful cyclone hit in the early hours of the morning killing 16 people across the nation and demolishing almost everything in its path. Scroll down for video . The category five cyclone ravaged small villages completely wiping out the grass huts the villagers call home .

It was at this stage the villagers discovered that all the gardens and cooking houses were destroyed by the sheer force of the winds.

And one morning they got a flying fox, which is quite large, and they cooked it up with rice and gave me a serve and they ate the rest. Villagers fashioned missiles from lengths of wood to strike down unsuspecting small birds and bats . He didn’t complain about his interesting diet and said it was ‘quite tasty’ but tough, likening the flavours to that of chicken.

Pope Francis has not been able to enjoy a slice of pizza since being elected as the head of the Catholic church in March 2013. He laments that he can no longer go out for a quick bite, so one of his loyal supporters brought one to him in the most bizarre circumstance. The pontiff was waving to thousands of supporters in Naples on Saturday when a local restaurant's chef drove alongside his Popemobile and personally delivered him a pizza. Scroll down for video . Special delivery: A pizza-maker in Naples handed a home-made pie to the pontiff who has complained that he can no longer slip out for a quick slice . Grateful: A smiling Pope Francis who was on a day-trip to the southern-Italian city (pictured) accepted the pizza from the Don Ernesto pizzeria . Enzo Cacialli had one of his famous pies on hand as Pope Francis drove by the waterfront of the city revered for its great pizza. His co-worker at the Don Ernesto pizzeria filmed the incredible moment that Mr Cacialli got close enough to hand it directly to the pontiff, as frenzied crowds cheered him on. A smiling Pope Francis accepted the pizza which had 'Il Papa' - or the Pope - spelled out in dough and topped with cherry tomatoes. Cacialli - whose father made a pizza for former US president Bill Clinton in 1994 - said he was 'full of joy that he accepted a pizza straight from my hands'. He told Naples' newspaper Il Mattino that he used yellow tomatoes rather than red to reflect the colours of the Holy See. The heart-warming moment comes shortly after the Pope's interview with Mexican TV station Televista in which he spoke about his sadness at no longer being able to go out for a pizza. He said: 'The only thing I would like is to go out one day, without being recognised, and go to a pizzeria for a pizza.' It was not the only treat the pontiff received on his day-trip to Naples. He was also gifted some biscuits and sweets made by cloistered nuns who affectionately mobbed him as he sat in Naples cathedral. Handmade: The man who made the pizza for the Pope spelled out Il Papa - or the Pope - on it with dough and dressed it with yellow cherry tomatoes to resemble the Holy See . Abstainance: The Pope recently gave an interview to Mexican TV station Televista in which he spoke about his sadness at no longer being able to go out for a pizza . Their behaviour was condemned by Naples' archbishop Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe who made a special dispensation for them to leave the cloister for the papal visit. He did admit that the cookies were very good and he eats them with milk for breakfast every single day. Pope Francis also enjoyed lunch with at least 10 gay, transgender and HIV-positive inmates at a prison in Naples on Saturday. They were among 90 prisoners invited to dine with the pontiff on his day-long trip to

Scott Peterson horrified the nation when he was convicted 10 years ago for murdering his 8-months-pregnant wife Laci and their unborn son Conner. While he was sentenced to death for the crime, the likelihood that the 42-year-old will actually be executed is unlikely in California where the last death row inmate was killed in 2006. Perhaps most shocking though is the fact that Peterson lives a relatively 'cushy' life at the Bay Area's 163-year-old San Quentin prison - which houses the largest death row population in the nation. Scroll down for video . Peteron's easy life behind bars: Scott Peterson is living in what has been described as an 'exclusive' and 'cushy' part of San Quentin prison in California.

Recreation: Above, a handful of San Quentin prisoners playing pick-up basketball on a roof-deck court . Fox News spoke with Nancy Mulane, author of 'Life After Murder: Five Men in Search of Redemption', who is one of the few outsiders who have been able to witness Peterson's life behind bars. Mulane says Peterson is living in an 'exclusive' part of the historic prison, in a single cell with the ability to socialize with other prisoners on a roof deck with a half basketball court. 'I saw this quite, I would have to say, buff-looking young man with his shirt off,' Mulane said. 'And he was playing basketball. He looked like you were watching some college athletes out on a neighborhood court play basketball.' 'You've been around a lot of prisons,' Fox News' Geraldo Rivera remarked. 'It sounds to me like what you describe is the cushiest environment that you've seen.' Mulane went on to add that there are many death row prisoners in California who spend 23 of the 24 hours in a day locked in their cells. 'They are not having the life Scott Peterson is having. Scott Peterson has an exclusive life inside San Quentin,' Mulane said.

Heartless: Laci's body and that of her unborn fetus washed up on the San Francisco Bay shoreline a little more than three months after she went missing. Above, Scott looking unconcerned in his mugshot and in court . Life in prison? Peterson was sentenced to death for the murder, but his execution looks unlikely in California where a death row inmate hasn't been killed since 2006 . Peterson's comfortable accommodations add insult to Laci and Conner's deaths, since he has also shown no remorse for the crime. Laci Peterson was reported missing on December 24, 2002.

A selfless daughter who surprised her ailing father with the gift of life after offering to donate him her kidney is desperately trying to raise the $30,000 the family needs to pay for the procedure. Felicia Mulero, who lives in Kansas with her young son, knew her father Herminio Mulero, 50, was battling stage-five kidney disease in Florida. But instead of letting him wait for a kidney on the transplant list, the 24-year-old quietly underwent tests to see if she could be a viable match for his much-needed organ donation. 'It's so amazing to me that I can help save my dad; I can help save a life - and it's my dad's,' Felicia explained in a video on the GoFundMe page her family created to raise money for the costs surrounding the surgery. Priceless gift: Felicia can be seen cuddling up with her father Herminio Mulero. The 24-year-old secretly planned on giving him her kidney but waited to see if she was a match before sharing the life-saving news . Family ties: Felicia and Herminio shared a special moment on the beach. The 50-year-old dad has been battling stage-five kidney disease in Florida and was awaiting an organ donation on the transplant list . Herminio, who has been suffering from kidney problems for the past seven years, has been relying on daily dialysis to keep him alive as he awaits an organ donation. 'The waiting list could take months, years you really don’t know they have to find a match,' he told Bay News 9. He had no idea that his daughter was secretly going through the process to give him her kidney. Herminio's wife Kathleen explained to the outlet that Felicia matches four markers when most children only match three out of six. The father-daughter duo are currently going through the final stages of testing to make sure that she can proceed with the organ donation. 'I’m very thankful to have a beautiful daughter who has very compassionate heart,' Herminio said. While Felicia's selfless donation will most likely save her father's life, the family also has financial worries to consider. Say cheese: The father-daughter duo happily smiled for this family photo.

The page states that Herminio needs at least $8,000 worth of emergency medications before they will schedule the surgery. He will also require expensive medications after the procedure. Meanwhile, Felicia, who is also parent, will need money to travel, pay her bills and find childcare for her son while she recovers. Although the family has reached nearly $5,000, they are still far from their original goal. On the page,

The White House committed today to a 'firm' deadline of Tuesday for Iran to make a permanent pact with a group of international negotiators not to build up it nuclear capabilities. 'We’ve been clear that the end of March is a firm deadline, and that’s simply because these negotiations have taken place over the course of more than a year,' White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters on Friday afternoon. 'That should be ample opportunity for us to reach an agreement.' SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, center, lit, talks with members of his delegation after a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and other officials at the Beau Rivage Palace Hotel on Friday. Major powers and Iran were pushing each other for concessions ahead of an end-March deadline for a preliminary nuclear deal, with Tehran demanding an immediate end to sanctions and freedom to continue sensitive atomic research, officials said .

The timetable for the details of the agreement to be set in stone continues to be the end of June. 'But where we need to start, is the outlines of a political agreement,' he said, which 'is something we are aiming to achieve by the end of March.' U.S. officials and their foreign counterparts in the P5 +1 group - the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council along with Germany - were in Switzerland on Friday with Iran's negotiators making a desperate last ditch bid to secure a landmark agreement - 13 years since the country's nuclear program became public. Britain's Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said earlier this week an agreement was 'deliverable' but urged Iran to make 'tough decisions' ahead of the meeting in Lausanne, on the shores of Lake Geneva. Along with five world powers, Britain is seeking a deal that would allow Iran to continue its Uranium enrichment program while reducing the likelihood of it gaining nuclear weapons. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told reporters staking out the talks that he didn't have a strong sense if an acceptable agreement could be made in the next several days. 'The negotiations are difficult and complicated and there . are highs and lows,' Zarif said, according to Reuters. 'We think an agreement is still . possible but when is another story. Our feeling is that we . certainly will be able to reach an agreement, but that will need . political will on the other side.' The White House said Friday that it continued to believe the coalition had a 50 percent chance of convincing Iran to make the required concessions by the last day of the month, Tuesday, March 31. 'It’s still at best 50-50,' White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Friday. 'That’s the odds that I have previously given

Undergoing oxygen treatment in a pressure chamber, this is a survivor of the deadly explosion at a Ukrainian coal mine that killed 33 people. Andrei Serebrennikov, who was exposed to dangerous levels of methane, is being treated at the Regional Hospital of Occupational Diseases in Donetsk after the incident on Wednesday. The last missing miner was found dead tonight, following the blast that happened before dawn more than 3,200ft underground at the Zasyadko mine in the city. Scroll down for video . Oxygen treatment: Andrei Serebrennikov (left) was exposed to dangerous levels of methane in the explosion . Medical help: He is being treated at the Regional Hospital of Occupational Diseases in Donetsk after the blast . Assistance: Mr Serebrennikov is undergoing an enriched oxygen treatment in a pressure chamber in Ukraine . Severe injuries: Doctors operate on another miner who survived the explosion but suffered extensive burns . It is the largest city held by the separatist rebels who have been fighting Ukrainian forces since April. Rebel officials said the accident was caused by methane gas. Zasyadko mine has a history of deadly accidents, including one in November 2007 that killed 101 workers, and two more the following month that killed a total of 57. Although the latest gas explosion was not directly caused by the fighting, miners say war may have contributed to the death toll. Other parts of the mine had been damaged in the past by artillery strikes, which cut off access routes and may have made escape more difficult for those trapped below ground. Band of brothers: Ukrainian coal miners carry the body of a colleague killed in the explosion on Wednesday . Elevator: The miners board a lift going underground to help search for colleagues and clear up debris . Response: A Ukrainian mining rescuer holds a stretcher after taking part in the search for bodies of miners . Another survivor, Ivan Lazarenko, lay in hospital yesterday - still unconscious and in bandages. If he recovers, it would be the second time this year he had escaped death at the mine. He was trapped once in a lift when the mine was hit by incoming fire, his wife Tatyana Kosenko said. She added: ‘I was getting ready for work and they called me to tell me he was in the burn centre, but was alive and well. Somehow this is considered to be “well”. Of course, thank God, he's alive.’ Were it not for the war between Russia-backed separatists and the Ukrainian authorities, Eduard Kiporov, one of those missing and presumed dead in the blast, would not have been working at all at Zasyadko. Miners: The blast happened before dawn more than 3,000 feet underground at the Zasyadko mine .

The perfect end to a rewarding week. England’s five-day stay in the Czech Republic finished with a win that enhanced their credentials for summer success. England went Olomouc on Monday to familiarise themselves with the place they will call home and Under-21 head coach Gareth Southgate was thrilled with how the experiment went. He was even happier, then, after Tom Carroll’s goal in Prague chiselled out victory for a much-changed side. Having flattened inferior opponents in qualifying for Euro 2015, Southgate was keen to see how his squad will fare against better nations and so far, it has gone how he wanted. Portugal – who will be opponents in Group B – were beaten in November and now the hosts have gone the same way. Tom Carroll celebrates his goal during the international match between Czech Republic U21 and England U21 . Though this performance against the host nation was not the flashiest but it had showed qualities that England will need if they are to go all the way. More than anything, it proved there is strength a depth beneath the core. ‘I thought we did some very good things,’ Southgate noted. ‘There were also plenty of things we can improve on. The Czechs are a good side and they put us under pressure but we still wanted to play the same way. It was a good test.’ There were four debutants in this experimental line-up, most notably Arsenal defender Calum Chambers, and for periods in the first half England lacked the cohesion of a team that has played regularly together. As an attacking force, they offered little. The England Under 21 squad celebrate as they take the lead against Czech Republic on Friday night . One thing, though, that was not in question was their fight to keep the Czechs at bay. Nobody embodied the spirit more than Carroll – whom Southgate called a 'super footballer' – who was well placed in the 29th minute to kick a header from Watford striker Matej Vydra off the line. Southgate anticipated this being a game when England would have a lot of the ball and be on the front foot but the opposite was true; the physically strong Czechs kept pushing England further and further back and the visitors’ passing was not sharp as it can be at their most fluent. It was clear from looking at Southgate’s demeanour he was not happy with what he was seeing. He strode purposely down the tunnel at the interval and whatever he said worked as England re-emerged purpose. England U21 ace Alex Pritchard skips over Czech Republic star Tom Kalas during the game at Letna Stadium . They were immediately aggressive and within three minutes, they had taken the lead. Chambers surged forward and zipped in a cross that Tomas Kalas – the Chelsea defender on loan at Middlesbrough – failed to clear and Carroll took advantage, sweeping in from eight yards. Here was another indication of his tenacity: he took a heavy blow to the ankle when scoring his first international goal since

Summary: Tom Carroll secured victory for a much-changed England U21 side . Four players made their debuts in Gareth Southgate's experimental line-up . But it was Tottenham midfielder Carroll that proved the difference . Hosts came close when Watford's Matej Vydra had effort cleared off line .


Construction workers have been forced to build a £10 million road project around two apartment blocks in China after several families refused to move. The embarrassing rebuke by the ten households has forced developers to curve the major new route around the properties in the city of Yongjia, in eastern China's Zhejiang province, The People's Daily reports. Officials launched the multi-million pound blueprint to much fanfare, saying the new 10-mile provincial road would provide a fast and efficient route between the city and 19 surrounding villages. In the way: The two building are in the direct path of the £10 million road project in Yongjia, eastern China . But although work started in December 2011, construction was forced to stop when 10 families refused to accept the compensation offered to allow their properties to be demolished. This year local council officials lost their patience and ordered the road builders to go around the properties. The four-lane highway opened last month with many drivers arguing the bizarre layout is dangerous. Won't budge: Ten families have refused to leave their homes, that are in the path of a new road, until they are offered a fair price . Road rage: Officials ordered the new thoroughfare to be built around the two buildings 10 families have refused to leave in Yongjia . In China, it is common practice to ask people to move out of their homes to make way for important public sector developments. People who refuse are known as 'nail homeowners' - a term which comes from the nuisance a nail causes when stuck in a fence post. The homeowners say they are happy to move but only if they are offered a fair price so they can afford a new property and be compensated for the inconvenience of leaving homes where they were perfectly happy. Around the houses: Drivers have complained the revised road layout is dangerous after the No.41 provincial route opened last month . Jun Lo, 40, who lives in one of the properties with his wife and parents said they would not be bullied into leaving. He said: 'They tried all sorts of mean tricks to get other people to move out, but me and the others won't budge now because we don't want to be bullied. 'If they want us to go, then they need to pay a decent price otherwise we are just going to sit here.'

Summary: 10 families get in the way of £10 million road project in China . Officials lose patience and tell road builders to go around the houses . Homeowners claim they are not being offered fair price to relocate .


A 66-year-old man told his wife that he feared hospital staff were 'trying to kill him' a day before they put him on a 'do not resuscitate' notice without the consent of his family, an inquest has heard. Michael Richardson, from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, died at James Paget University Hospital in Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk, after medics 'played God' with his life, his widow said. The great-grandfather, who died in October 2013, had been ill for several years with a lung condition which caused his breathing to stop but had been given more than a year to live. Heartbroken: Michael Richardson died at James Paget University Hospital after medics 'played God' with his life, his widow, Janet (pictured with her late husband) said told an inquest today. Right, Mr Richardson . Giving evidence at an inquest, his widow, Janet, said her husband had tried to discharge himself the day before his death after becoming concerned about the levels of oxygen he was being given. Speaking at the inquest in Norfolk, she said: 'He said, "I can't breathe, take me home - I can't stand it any more. They're trying to kill me". 'I said, "I love you", and then he said he loved me too. That was the last time I saw him alive. 'I wish I'd bundled him up and taken him home because at least if he was going to die, he was going to die with some dignity.' The 66-year-old accused medics of playing God with his life after discovering a do not resuscitate (DNR) notice had been placed on him without the consent of the family. The inquest heard the family, who had recently moved to Norfolk from Deal, Kent, only learned of the notice when they picked up Mr Richardson's death certificate from the hospital four days after he died. Janet Richardson (centre, with a photo of Mr Richardson) with daughters Jocelin Taylor (left) and Antonia Richardson (right). The widow claimed she only learned of the DNR order four days after her husband's death . Asked by assistant coroner David Osborne if she had given consent for this, Mrs Richardson said: 'No, nothing at all.' She added: 'I visited the hospital twice a day. There would have been loads of opportunities for staff to talk to me. If he had been asked about the DNR notice, he would have said no, I know that. 'He used to say, "some life is better than no life, you're a long time dead". He was well aware he would die at some point, just not that quickly.' Mr Richardson, who was born in Islington, London, was diagnosed with the lung-scarring condition pulmonary fibrosis in 2008 and received oxygen therapy at home. On October 24 2013, his condition deteriorated and his family called an ambulance which took him to the hospital. Mrs Richardson said he had been moved between various wards and when she visited him he 'seemed worse than when he went in'. Although his medical notes correctly identified pulmonary fibrosis as his main condition, he was initially treated for emphysema, Mrs

For Earth-bound optical telescopes, the surface of Venus is shrouded beneath thick clouds made mostly of carbon dioxide. To penetrate this veil, probes like the Magellan spacecraft use radar to reveal remarkable features of the planet, such as mountains, craters, and volcanoes. But now, astronomers have combined the Green Bank Telescope with the radar transmitter at the Arecibo Observatory to make remarkably detailed images of the planet's surface from Earth. Pictured is a projection of the radar data of Venus collected in 2012. Striking surface features, like mountains and ridges, are easily seen. The black diagonal band at the center represents areas too close to the equator to obtain well-resolved image data . The radar signals from Arecibo in Puerto Rico passed through both Earth's atmosphere and the atmosphere of Venus. Here they hit the surface and bounced back to be received by the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia in a process known as bistatic radar. This capability is essential to study not only the surface as it appears now, but also to monitor it for changes. By comparing images taken at different periods in time, scientists hope to eventually detect signs of active volcanism. They believe images such as this could also reveal other dynamic geologic processes that could provide clues to Venus's geologic history and subsurface conditions. Spanish astronomers have revealed a new theory for a 'Y' shape on Venus (annotated image from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter in 1979 shown). They say it is formed by winds pushing a 'wave' of clouds on the planet. These winds move faster at higher altitudes, creating the odd shape . 'It is painstaking to compare radar images to search for evidence of change,' said Bruce Campbell, a senior scientist at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, . 'The work is ongoing. In the meantime, combining images from this and an earlier observing period is yielding a wealth of insight about other processes that alter the surface of Venus.' Venus is slightly smaller than Earth but has a similar mass. It is the second closest planet to the sun at a distance of about 67 million miles (108 million kilometres), and takes about 225 days to orbit the sun. One day on Venus lasts as long as 243 Earth days. Its thick and toxic atmosphere is made up mostly of carbon dioxide and nitrogen, with clouds of sulphuric acid droplets. It's believed that its atmosphere contributed to a runaway greenhouse effect that made the planet inhospitable. The planet's extreme high temperatures of almost 480°C (900°F) make it seem an unlikely place for for life as we know it. High-resolution radar images of Venus were first obtained by Arecibo in 1988 and most recently by Arecibo and GBT in 2012. When astronomers first started taking images of Venus, they were somewhat baffled by a mysterious 'Y' shape that covered the entire planet. Last week researchers say they have an answer - high intensity winds are distorting a 'wave' of clouds to produce a stretched effect. The discovery could also reveal how

It is a common thread through many of the world's dominant religions that those who do not follow the same faith are barbarians. Yet new research has now challenged the conventional idea that belief in a powerful and judgmental God is necessary to form large, complex civilisations. Anthropologists have found that belief in supreme deities often emerged after complex societies had already formed. The stone heads on Easter Island (shown above) are thought by some to represent ancestors of people living there and could be an example of where the belief system helped drive the emergence of complex society . The scientists studied the development of religion and cultures on Pacific islands that make up Austronesia. They examined 96 ancient Austronesian cultures - including those on Fiji, Tonga, Hawaii and Samoa - that had not had contact with Abrahamic religions like Christianity and Islam. They often form a central part of most biblical stories, but it appears that floods, famines and plagues may have also helped to start belief in some gods in the first place. Researchers at North Carolina State University found that belief in all-powerful and moralising gods tended to appear at times of hardship in human history. They claim that believing in such a supreme deity helps to ensure people within a society live by certain moral rules that are necessary when living in harsh environments or in times of hardship. The researchers studied the origins of 583 religious societies around the world. They compared these to climate, rainfall and plant growth data for each area to build up a historical picture of the conditions each society was living in. The findings may help to shed light on how religions such as Christianity, Judaism and Islam first emerged and why stories of hardship play such a central role. Dr Joseph Watts, an expert in cultural evolution at the University of Auckland in new Zealand, said: 'We found 22 instances of high political complexity through out historically and geographically distant regions of Austronesia. 'The results presented here cast doubt on the widely held view that moralizing high gods facilitate the emergence of political complexity. 'Although beliefs in moralising high gods do co-evolve with political complexity, believes follow rather than drive political complexity.' Instead the researchers found that belief in systems of supernatural punishment - such as vengeful spirits - tended to precede the emergence of complex societies and civilisations on the islands. These tended to be belief in anthropomorphic beings such as the spirits of dead ancestors. The researchers found that 37 of the cultures sampled had beliefs of this type while just six believed in supreme deities. Those that believed in a single all-powerful god tended to be clustered in southeast Asia including the Bontok and Tagbanwa cultures in the Philippines, the Batak Toba people of North Sumatra, the Manggarai tribes of Flores in Indonesia. The names of their gods are Lumawig, Mangindusa, Mulajadi na Bolon and Mori Karaeng respectively. The researchers then used trees of evolutionary connections between cultures, deduced from earlier studies of linguistic relationships, to explore

Summary: Scientists at the University of Auckland studied 97 Pacific island cultures . Belief in an all-powerful God was found to not be a civilising influence . Religions that followed supreme deities emerged after complex societies . Instead belief in supernatural and vengeful spirits drove civilised cultures .


Deco is part of an elite group of players to have won the Champions League twice - with Jose Mourinho's Porto in 2004 and with Barcelona in 2006. The Portuguese also played in Europe's elite club competition with Chelsea, playing a total of 103 matches in Europe and scoring 19 goals. Looking back over his career, the playmaker here selects his dream team of leading players to have graced the Champions League. Deco scores for Porto against Monaco in the 2004 Champions League final in Gelsenkirchen . Deco (centre) then lifted the Champions League with Barcelona two years later . The Portuguese star celebrates with Didier Drogba during his time at Chelsea . Goalkeeper . Manuel Neuer . When I was playing in Europe he was not so well known, but he has turned into the best I have ever seen. His performances for both Germany and Bayern are exceptional. Manuel Neuer makes a penalty save from Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2012 Champions League semi-final . Defenders . Carles Puyol . Was such a leader for Barcelona. That is not to take anything away from his ability as a defender, but he was as important in the dressing room as he was on the field. Barcelona legend Carles Puyol lifts the European Cup after their win over Man United in the 2009 final . John Terry . Very similar to how Puyol was for Barcelona, John was the leader of Chelsea and is still doing it now. When he does decide to retire, he will be so hard for Chelsea to replace. John Terry lifts the famous trophy after Chelsea's win over Bayern Munich in 2012 . Ricardo Carvalho . One of my best moments is winning the Champions League with him, then it was great to play with him again all those years later at Chelsea. Without doubt he is the classiest defender I have ever played with. Ricardo Carvalho carries Pedro Mendes after Porto's triumph in the 2004 Champions League final . Midfield . Diego Simeone . Diego Simeone was a really tough competitor; he would always let you know he was there. He wasn’t just tough though, he had a really excellent range of passing. Diego Simeone guided Atletico Madrid to the Champions League final last season . Paul Scholes . It is not coincidence so many professionals talk so highly of Paul Scholes. Of course he is one of the best midfield players of my Champions League, but also I think you can call him one of the best midfield players in the history of the game. Paul Scholes won the European Cup for the second time when Man United beat Chelsea in 2008 . Xavi . At the peak of Barcelona he was at the centre of everything that was good about Barcelona. Maybe the other players got more headlines, but Xavi was the catalyst for it all. Xavi takes on Manchester United's Ryan Giggs during the 2011 final at Wembley . Zinedine Zidane .

Overly ambitious, feasible or simply just a scam - whatever your view on the Mars One mission, it has at least inspired people to think of colonising other worlds. And now a sketch for the project has revealed the habitat the first astronauts on Mars could reside in - if they ever get there. It includes living quarters, a laboratory, a greenhouse and even a holodeck to give the crew the best conditions possible on the red planet. Hover cursor over the image below to zoom in . Danish space architect Kristian von Bengtson revealed his sketch for Mars One's habitat on the red planet (shown). The concept includes living quarters, a laboratory and even a holodeck. There are two habitats in total, one for 'living' (left) and one for 'work' (right). Credit: Kristian von Bengtson/MarsOne . The concept, drawn up by Mars One's Capsule and Outpost Manager, Kristian von Bengtson from Denmark, consists of two long cylindrical inflatable habitats - with a total area of 2,150 square feet (200 square metres). In February 100 people - including five Britons - were shortlisted for the questionable Mars One mission, which claims it will send people to live on the red planet. They are hoping to be chosen to be among the final crew of four who are set to begin their new lives in just 10 years time - and ultimately die on Mars. The team is scheduled to arrive in 2025 following a gruelling seven-month journey from Earth. 'The large cut in candidates [from 200,000 to 100] is an important step towards finding out who has the right stuff to go to Mars,' said Bas Lansdorp, co-founder of the Dutch Mars One mission. 'These aspiring Martians provide the world with a glimpse into who the modern day explorers will be.' The Mars 100 Round Three candidates were selected from a pool of 660 candidates after participating in personal online interviews. They include 50 men and 50 women who successfully passed the second round. At the front, each has a module to which a lander can attach and the crew can enter. One of the habitats is designed more for living, while the other seems to be geared more towards work. In the residential habitat, there is a kitchen for food preparation with a total area of 320 square feet (30 square metres). Moving further into the habitat and you come to a social area of a similar area, which has a ‘holodeck’ to keep the crew entertained. This appears to consist of screens on the walls of the habitat, to simulate being in another environment. Further along, are the private crew quarters, measuring about 65 square feet (six square metres). And finally, the crop section, which grows the food the astronauts will need to survive, is found at the end. It has a watering system and humidity controls to keep everything in working order. In the ‘work’ habitat, there is a laboratory and science section for various experiments - including an insects cabinet and biology laboratory. There’s also a storage area

Summary: Danish space architect Kristian von Bengtson revealed his sketch for Mars One's habitat on the red planet . The concept includes living quarters, a laboratory, a greenhouse to grow crops and even a holodeck . There are two habitats in total in the sketch, one for 'living' and one for 'work' Mars One recently revealed its 'longlist' of candidates for the mission, but the plan has been widely criticised . The mission is still without suitable funding, any signs of development, a spacecraft or a place on a rocket launch .


This is the moment a fugitive DUI killer prepared to face justice - by topping up her lip gloss. Kelly Lynn Miller, 36, admitted drunkenly smashing her car into a truck being driven by Donald Goodwin, 57, killing him instantly - but dodged her prison sentence by fleeing to Thailand. She had pleaded guilty to a charge on vehicular homicide following the 2004 crash in Hoover, Alabama - but flew to the tropical country while on bail, and had been hiding there until Thai authorities tracked her down. Brazen: Kelly Lynn Miller, a 36-year-old fugitive, was pictured topping up her lip gloss at a press conference after being hauled in front of the media following her six-year flight from justice in Thailand . Victim: Miller killed Donald Goodwin, left, when she drunkenly smashed into his tractor-trailer in Alabama in 2004. Miller is pictured right in a mugshot from the time, when she was 26 . Miller was hauled in front of the media by police in Phuket this week. But rather than showing contrition in front of the cameras, she took a moment to put her make-up in order. Local outlet Phuket News pictured her looking nonchalant and resting her head on her hands at the event. According to members of the grief-stricken Goodwin family, the apparent lack of concern for her crime is typical of Miller. The victim's sister, Faye Dees, told Daily Mail Online that she 'didn't seem too concerned' for her slain brother - even moments after she killed him. During her trial, Dees said, she continued to act as if 'she didn't understand what the big deal was', even when family members confronted her directly. Miller was busted after years of island-hopping in remote parts of Thailand, where she traveled around on an expired visa. Unmoved: Miller looked nonchalant, and rested her head in her hands as she stood flanked by police officers at a news conference in Phuket, Thailand . Extradition: Miller is due to be brought back to the United States to face justice, after she appears in Thai court on charges of living in the country illegally . Although she entered the country legally, Miller should have returned to the U.S. to start her jail sentence. During her illicit stay, she even gave birth to a son, whose father is thought to be an American living in Thailand legally. It is not clear whether he knew about Miller's conviction. She is expected to appear in a Thai court for staying in the country without proper documents - and is then likely to be deported to face U.S. justice. A spokesman for the Thai Tourist Police said: 'She flew to Thailand legally after she was granted bail in her car smash case. 'A few months after she disappeared, the U.S. canceled her passport but she had already thrown it away, and had been moving around Thailand a lot.' The authority vowed to tighten its procedures to stop people using Thailand as a bolthole from justice in future. Paradise lost: Miller was on the remote island of

Summary: Kelly Lynn Miller, 36, was busted on remote island after hiding from justice . Was sentenced to five years in prison for death of Donald Goodwin . Miller smashed into Goodwin's truck in 2004, killing him instantly . Pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide - but then fled the country .

Angry customers criticised Marks & Spencer last night after Mother's Day flowers failed to arrive in time. They complained that the store used beleaguered delivery firm Yodel, which has previously come under fire for struggling to deliver parcels during busy times. M&S emailed some customers on Saturday and informed them that 'something had gone wrong' with their delivery and the flowers they had ordered would not arrive on time. Marks & Spencer customers have been left without Mother's Day flowers after the courier firm employed by the chain failed to deliver . Marks & Spencer confirmed that the Courier firm Yodel was responsible for a 'small number of delays to orders' They have since had their money refunded. The retailer said Yodel was responsible for a 'small number of delays to orders', but insisted its delivery service had returned to normal yesterday. However, many unhappy customers took to Twitter to vent their frustration yesterday as they claimed their mothers had been left without a gift on Mothering Sunday. One woman posted: 'Thanks M&S for ruining Mother's Day. Where are the flowers my son ordered??!!!' Another tweeted: 'Whoever finds my M's Day flowers first can keep them', adding: 'According to GPS tracker, they were left in a layby.' Others questioned why M&S was still using Yodel following a catalogue of high-profile issues in recent months. One Twitter user said: '2.30pm and still no Yodel M&S flowers delivery. It rather ruins the surprise, having to let your mum know flowers were ordered but no sign.' Another asked: 'Why are M&S using Yodel to deliver flowers on Mother's Day?'. The delivery firm has been beset by claims of broken deliveries, and packages left in bins and hurled at doors. An M&S spokesman said: 'The vast majority of orders were delivered on time on Saturday. For the small number of customers who had orders postponed to today we have offered a full refund and a gesture of goodwill. We expect a normal delivery service today.' Yodel said it had handled over 400,000 Mother's Day flower deliveries for a number of retailers this year. Dick Stead, Executive Chairman of Yodel said: 'We’ve handled over 400,000 Mother's Day flower deliveries for a number of retailers this year. We started deliveries on Friday and we worked all Sunday up until 6pm to ensure mums across the country got their gifts.'

Kell Brook is talking about fighting Floyd Mayeather or Manny Pacquiao, Juan Manuel Marquez or Brandon Rios — in no given order — before a Wembley blockbuster with Amir Khan sometime next year. Nothing wrong with ambition but the first question Brook has to answer comes in his home town of Sheffield tonight. It has less to do with his undeniable boxing ability than with whether he truly is recovered from the machete attack which inflicted horrific wounds to his left leg. Kell Brook poses on the scales at the weigh in ahead of his match with title challenger Jo Jo Dan . Brook will defend his IBF welterweight title against Dan in his home city of Sheffield on Saturday night . Brook assures us that all is well following that bizarre incident in Tenerife where he was celebrating the stunning win over American Shawn Porter which gained him the IBF world welterweight title. Eddie Hearn, his Matchroom promoter, tells of how demonically Brook has laboured in the intervening six months to rescue his career from near death and the fear of never walking again. But what no-one can know until he climbs into the ring as a world champion for the first time is whether there is any residual damage. For a boxer there is more to getting better than for most of us. It is with the legs that a prizefighter exercises his thrusting mobility. It is from the legs that he generates the majority of his punching power. Brook is set to compete less than six months after a horrific stab attack nearly left him dead in Tenerife . Dan poses on the scales at the weigh in ahead of his title match with IBF welterweight champion Brook . Brook's attack left him with a 12-inch wound on his thigh and he has shown great strength to recover . If either his balance or strength in that leg has been sapped, Brook will find it doubly difficult to perform at elite level. If both are reduced, he will be diminished. Thus the examination about to be conducted by his moderate challenger, Jo Jo Dan, will be more medical than a test of Brook’s talent. With older boxers it is the legs that go first. But you never find out for sure until he is engaged in the heat of battle. Close scrutiny on Sky television will determine whether Brook, at 28, has been slowed prematurely. A small impediment is unlikely to be enough to deprive him of a homecoming victory, even though Romanian- born, Canadian-based Dan insists he has prepared himself to shut out the roar of Brook’s partisan support. Brook claimed the IBF welterweight title in 2014 when he defeated the previous holder Shawn Porter (left) But the issue is whether he wins in athletic style, with the ‘five-star performance’ he is promising his fans. The local crowd, those of us at ringside and British boxing at large will be hoping he can. If so, he will travel to Las Vegas for May 2 to be ringside for

Summary: Kell Brook will defend his IBF welterweight title against Jo Jo Dan less than six months after a horrific machete attack which almost killed him . The 28-year-old will headline in his home city of Sheffield on Saturday having worked his way up through the local gyms and leisure centres . Brook says that the stabbing ordeal has helped to make him stronger .


Crystal Palace's James McArthur has been criticised by his manager Alan Pardew, who feels the midfielder should be 'embarrassed' about diving in Saturday's 2-1 win at Stoke. McArthur was booked early in the second half of the Barclays Premier League clash at the Britannia Stadium for simulation having taken a tumble in the box. And Pardew told Sky Sports' Goals on Sunday programme: 'He dived. 'He should be embarrassed. He's a great professional and that's unlike him. I was surprised but it shows what pressure does to players. Crystal Palace midfielder James McArthur (left) was booked for diving in the second-half against Stoke City . Alan Pardew told Sky Sports' Goals on Sunday programme that MacArthur should feel 'embarrassed' 'I haven't spoken to him about it but I don't need to. He will see the replay and he will be embarrassed.' The win continued Palace's resurgence under Pardew, who took over in January after leaving Newcastle. Having been in the relegation zone at that point, the Eagles are now 11 points clear of it and up to 11th place - one spot above Newcastle. Pardew had a rocky relationship with the Tyneside club's fans and when his Newcastle side were beaten 1-0 at Stoke in September, several of the away supporters held up signs calling for him to be sacked. However, following a much happier return to the Potteries for the 53-year-old on Saturday, he insisted it was of no real significance to him that Palace had leapfrogged Newcastle in the table. And Pardew also indicated he is not about to take anything for granted in terms of survival. Palace - with 19 points from 10 league games under Pardew so far - have a total of 36, and he said: 'I'm still thinking about another couple of points. Stoke City forward Jonathan Walters (left) hassles Palace's Joel Ward (right) for the ball on Saturday . Palace winger Wilfried Zaha (right) celebrates scoring his side's second goal with team-mate Glenn Murray . 'But nine wins (for Palace in the league over the season) going into this international break - I would have absolutely jumped at that when I arrived.' Asked if there was any significance for him to going above Newcastle, Pardew said: 'No, not really. 'The most important thing for me is that this club is within touching distance of Premier League status for next year. 'That is the only agenda I had when I arrived. We have done absolutely brilliantly. 'It (his previous visit to Stoke) was a difficult night, and I've had them as a manager. You have to show your mettle. 'But it was a different feeling on Saturday because we are in great form. You want to have more of those in your career, and hopefully I can as I continue with Palace.' Stoke midfielder Steven N'Zonzi (left) dribbles the ball away from Palace's Jason Puncheon (right) Stoke, 10th on 42 points, are looking this season to better their Premier League records set last term of a ninth-placed finish and 50-point total. Saturday's result made it back-to-back

Summary: Crystal Palace's James McArthur was booked for simulation against Stoke . Alan Pardew told Goals on Sunday candidly that the player dived . Palace have risen to 11th place in the Premier League table under Pardew .


Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has denied a Football Association charge of violent conduct for standing on Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea. Video evidence was used to charge the centre-back, currently away on international duty with Slovakia, after television pictures highlighted the incident - missed by referee Martin Atkinson - in the last seconds of Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Anfield. Skrtel chased a through-ball as 10-man Liverpool searched for a late equaliser but De Gea slid in to get there first and the defender continued his run and stood on the goalkeeper's right shin. Martin Skrtel's foot lands on David de Gea's leg in the incident which saw the FA charge the defender . Skrtel will fight the violent conduct charge, claiming the alleged stamp was not intentional . Premier League: Arsenal away, April 4 . FA Cup Sixth round: Blackburn away, April 8 . Premier League: Newcastle at home, April 13 . A three-man panel of former elite officials were asked by the FA to review the footage independently of each other and there was unanimous agreement the offence warranted a red card. Skrtel was given until 6pm on Tuesday to respond to the charge and has decided to contest it. The 30-year-old will argue the incident was accidental and not intentional. If he fails in his challenge, Skrtel will receive a three-match ban - which covers league games at Arsenal and home to Newcastle either side of the FA Cup quarter-final replay at Sky Bet Championship side Blackburn. Manchester United keeper De Gea takes exception to the contact from Skrtel at the end of Sunday's match . A three-man panel of former elite officials reviewed the footage after it wasn't seen by Martin Atkinson (right) Coincidentally, Skrtel could argue a precedent was set back in January when Chelsea striker Diego Costa was charged for a stamp on Liverpool's Emre Can but escaped punishment for one on Skrtel himself. The Spain international stood on the defender as he slid in to make a tackle in a similar incident to Skrtel's coming together with De Gea. The incident was looked at retrospectively using television evidence after both the Skrtel flashpoint and the stamp on Can were missed by referee Michael Oliver. Skrtel could argue a precedent was set in January when Chelsea striker Diego Costa escaped punishment for an alleged stamp on him that was reviewed on video after referee Michael Oliver missed the incident . Costa was however suspended for this contact with Skrtel's team-mate Emre Can in the same match . 'Following a review of an incident during the game involving Costa and Liverpool's Martin Skrtel, The FA will not be taking any further action,' a statement from the FA said at the time. However, Skrtel's hopes of succeeding appear slim. Costa appealed his charge for the offence against Can - with manager Jose Mourinho insisting both incidents were 'absolutely accidental' - but was found guilty and banned for three matches. It led to Mourinho claiming there was a 'clear campaign' against Chelsea.

Summary: Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel with fight FA charge of violent conduct . Slovakian stepped on Manchester United's David de Gea on Sunday . Skrtel was charged on video evidence after the incident late in the game . Three-man panel of former elite officials deemed it worthy of red card . Skrtel will argue that the incident in the 2-1 defeat was accidental .

The Sierra Leone sprinter claiming asylum in the UK because he says his family have died from Ebola, has been branded an 'embarrassment' by one of the country's top sporting officials. Jimmy Thoronka, 20, was found living rough on the streets of south London having not returned home after the conclusion last summer's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. He claims all his family in his west African homeland have succumbed to Ebola, including his adoptive mother Jelikatu Kargbo. But the runner's story, which has prompted an outpouring of public support, has been contradicted by Joseph Nyande, secretary general of Sierra Leone's National Olympics Committee. In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme, Nyande said: 'He absconded. We had that embarrassment. Jimmy Thoronka, 20, was found living rough on the streets of south London having not returned home since competing in the 4x100-metre relay at last summer's Commonwealth Games in Glasgow . 'It happened in the 2012 Olympic games and when we went to Glasgow. I don't think there's anything wrong with his parents.' Months after disappearing having competed in the 4x100-metre relay in Glasgow, Thoronka was found on the street having outstayed his visa, though he was not claiming benefits and was short of money and food. He is living in Home Office accommodation near Heathrow having been arrested on Friday and quizzed by officers over whether he was carrying or using drugs, which he denied. He was released and has now officially claimed asylum. But Abdul Karim Sesay, the vice-president of the National Olympics Committee in Sierra Leone and president of the country's athletics association, told the Guardian he backed Thoronka's story, saying Ms Kargbo did indeed die of Ebola in October. The sprinter has been branded an 'embarrassment' for 'absconding' and not returning home to west Africa . A pair of Sierra Leone Olympic officials have given two completely different accounts of Thoronka's plight . He said: 'The story about Jimmy failing to return to Sierra Leone is a big one and it is very embarrassing for the National Olympics Committee and I believe that is why there has been this attack on Jimmy. 'I and other members of the National Olympics Committee will be calling a press conference to refute the claims made by Joseph Nyande.' Thoronka said he was confused about what was happening. 'Two National Olympics Committee people are telling me two different things,' he said. 'If it can be proved that my adopted mother Jelikatu Kargbo is still alive and can continue to support me that will be very good. An online petition to let Mr Thoronka remain in the UK has so far attracted nearly 70,000 signatures and well wishers have donated more than £28,000 to help the young athlete . 'I would be very happy to speak with her again but I have been told that she is dead and I have no family left. 'If I go home, I will have no one to help me. If they can find my adopted mother and bring her to me, I will be very happy

Summary: Joseph Nyande has attacked Jimmy Thoronka's version of events . Nyande is secretary general of Sierra Leone National Olympics Committee . Says the 20-year-old's parents may in fact be alive in the west African state . Thoronka says all his family are dead, including his adoptive mother .

Staff had to be on their guard at Gold Coast Airport in Australia this morning when a snake came within inches of getting onto a plane. As passengers began to settle into their seats aboard the Virgin flight to Sydney, a green snake slithered its way up the stairs to the entry door. Eagle-eyed passenger Stuart Robert, who rather fittingly works as the Assistant Minister for Defence, was on hand to capture the action unfold. The snake was halted just inches from entering the main body of the plane by airport staff . The snake's actions were caught on camera by Australia's Assistant Defence Minister Stuart Robert (file photo) 'The green snake had slithered up the front stairs so the passengers had to board from the back,' he told MailOnline Travel. 'It was probably enjoying the warmth of the tarmac and steel and may have made its way up there as people were boarding. 'I took the photo just as the staff had got the little guy into a bag, so it wasn't quite 'Snakes on a Plane' and we didn't have an extra passenger to Sydney.' MP Robert was full of praise for the way the drama was handled by staff at Gold Coast Airport. Delays were minimal at Gold Coast Airport today after a snake was halted entering a plane on the tarmac . 'The airport staff acted quickly and brought a bag with a rod to gather up the little guy and probably take him back to where he came from. 'They responded well and the delay was minor.' It is not known as to what kind of snake it was. Staff were expected to return the reptile back to its natural habitat.

Summary: Snake believed to have slithered its way between passengers . Virgin flight was bound for Sydney out of Gold Coast Airport . Drama captured by Australian Assistant Minister for Defence Stuart Robert .


Two drivers were injured when a massive freight train derailed in northern Greece and crumpled into a pile of twisted metal. A 'slight landslide' forced it off the tracks as it passed through the tiny Gefyra settlement en route to Hungary, local website News 247 has reported. 15 of its 30 carriages derailed in the horrific accident which has now blocked the track linking Greece's second largest city Thessaloniki and Belgrade in Serbia 'indefinitely'. The local people inspecting the wreckage are completely dwarfed by the enormity of the train's containers. Wreck: A 'slight landslide' near the Greek settlement Gefyra has forced a massive freight train to derail . Crisis: Two drivers are believed to be injured and were taken to a local hospital after the train came off the tracks . Disaster: The initial cause of the accident is thought to be heavy rain which caused a landslide near Gefyra . Crash: 15 of the huge freight train's 30 carriages came off the tracks and crumpled into a heap of twisted metal . The train was carrying electronic equipment from the Greek port city of Konya although it is unclear who the goods belonged to. Initial reports suggest heavy rains caused the train to derail following a slight landslide near the settlement where it crashed. Just last month in Greece, four people died when a passenger train struck a truck at a rail crossing in the country's north. At least seven of the 30 people injured in that crash were in a serious condition, the local fire brigade said. Fire Chief Andreas Kois said: 'We fear that many more are trapped under the four wagons. We cannot say what condition they are in. The train was travelling from the north-eastern city of Alexandroupolis to the port of Thessaloniki - where the derailed freight train began its journey - when it drove into the vehicle. Derailed: The horrific accident has blocked the track linking Greece's second largest city Thessaloniki to Belgrade in Serbia 'indefinitely' Ruined: The doomed train was carrying electronic goods but it is unclear who they belonged to . Enormous: The locals inspecting the wreckage were dwarfed by the size of the enormous carriages that derailed .

Many wearables record your movements but one firm has developed a range designed to help you track other people. These include bands that keep tabs on your children, your elderly relatives and your pets. Each device is controlled via an app where a parent, concerned relative or pet owner can monitor and track its wearer's every move. A Chinese firm called Haier has developed a range of wearables that help you track other people. Senior bands with a leather strap have GPS technology built in so relatives can keep an eye on elderly people . The range was unveiled by Chinese tech giant Haier at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Its child and senior bands have GPS technology built-in but while the former is bright and colourful, the latter has a more classic look with a leather strap. Both are waterproof and are fitted with proximity sensors that feed location to an app where users can monitor the wearable’s movements on a map. Colourful wearables for children also track their location. They are fitted with proximity sensors that feed a child's location to an app so that parents can see their location on a map . Phone maker Doro has launched a social networking tool for seniors called Connect and Care. It connects elderly people with relatives and carers and the service can be used to call for help and assistance in an emergency. Alternatively, the firm said it can also provide help with basic everyday household tasks such as closing a window. The service is optional and comes with Doro phones, and there is an Android and iOS app for relatives to keep an eye on the user and monitor their movement and communication. It gives alerts to the family if irregularities are detected – for example loss of movement. The app will also remind them to call their relative regularly. Concerned parents and relatives can also use the app to set up safe zones, meaning if a child or elderly relative leaves a dedicated zone, the app will send them an alert. The app also stores a log of the wearable’s GPS history. Although many apps and bands track people in a similar way, Haier claims its devices differ because the microphone on each doubles up as a speaker. Similar to how a baby monitor works, the user can listen to ambient noises around the device to determine their location if there is a problem, for example. Users of the app can also talk to the wearer through the band. And for pet owners, Haier has also developed a smart collar that works in a similar way but for cats and dogs. In the future Haier said it plans to launch an SOS service that can be accessed directly from the band in the case of emergency. The company didn’t announce prices or availability for the devices. Haier has also developed a smart collar for dogs. The firm claims its devices differ from others on the market already because the microphone on each doubles up as a speaker . The
