Eating three meals a day is as much a part of our routine as getting up in the morning and going to sleep in the evening. Now, experts have warned eating breakfast, lunch and dinner may be damaging our health. In fact, there is no evidence eating three square meals a day is beneficial to the body’s needs for energy, the website Mother Jones reports. In fact, skipping meals and fasting could actually be better for health than sticking to rigid eating patterns. There is no evidence eating three meals a day is healthier than eating in other forms, such as six or nine meals a day . Historian Abigail Carroll told journalist Kiera Butler that these meals are cultural constructions European settlers enforced on Native Americans. In her new book, ‘Three Squares: The Invention of the American Meal’, Ms Carroll said the settlers ate meals at regimented times and considered this more ‘civilised’ than the natives whose eating patterns varied with the seasons, and included fasting. A quirk of history has meant this pattern has been heralded as healthy, when in fact there is no evidence for this assertion, Ms Carroll said. For example, breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day largely due to advertising campaigns by cereal and juice companies, she claims. In fact, a 2014 study by the University of Bath found whether or not a person ate breakfast had zero effect on the overall calories they consumed in a day. Those who ate breakfast did burn more calories than those who skipped it, but they burned off the extra calories later in the day, meaning the net calorie consumption was the same. New research shows skipping meals and fasting could actually be beneficial for health, triggering weight loss and strengthening the immune system . Similar University of Alabama research found eating breakfast or not made no difference to dieters trying to lose weight. And last year, MailOnline reported on research published in the journal Cell Metabolism, which found eating meals within an eight hour window each day could help a person shed weight. Fasting can be good for your health, experts claim. A study found that fasting for two days or more can help to kick-start the immune system, especially if it has been damaged by ageing or cancer treatment. It encourages the body to replace old and damaged cells, U.S. researchers said. Valter Longo, a longevity expert at the University of Southern California, said: ‘When you starve, the system tries to save energy, and one of the things it can do to save energy is to recycle a lot of the immune cells that are not needed, especially those that may be damaged.’ His team found fasting for two to four days every six months forced the body into survival mode, using up stores of fat and sugar and breaking down old cells. ‘The body then sent a signal telling stem cells to regenerate and “rebuild the entire system”.' Mice fed a high-fat diet within an eight hour time frame – for example between

Summary: Abigail Carroll wrote 'Three Squares: The Invention of the American Meal' Argues three meals a day was a European invention from the Middle Ages . There is 'no evidence' it is beneficial to eat in this way, over other patterns . Studies show it doesn't matter if you skip breakfast or eat more often . Fasting leads to weight loss and a stronger immune system, say experts .


We've all taken a few holiday snaps that we're proud of, but they have never looked anything like this. These incredible images snapped by Russian photography group AirPano depict some of the world's most iconic cities as round planets. Using a pioneering method of aerial photography, plus some skillful manipulation in Photoshop - known in the trade as 'stereographic projection' - each location can now be seen at a full 360-degree angle, with jaw-dropping results. Manhattan in New York City as you've never seen it before. The images were taken by Russian photographic group AirPano . The stunning harbour in Sydney, Australia and the world-famous Sydney Opera House look like they're at the centre of the world . The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco looks mystical shrouded by the famous fog that frequently descends on the region . Think you know Rome in Italy? The Spanish Steps look almost unrecognisable in this stunning aerial shot . The sweeping panoramas were taken over the space of eight years using helicopters, airplanes, dirigibles, hot air balloons, helium balloons and even radio-controlled drones to capture the images from staggering heights. Images of San Francisco, Berlin, Venice and Sydney are among the collection, which show hundreds of miles of landscape in some instances. Shanghai in China is full of surprises in this jaw-dropping photograph. The Aurora Tower and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower can be seen here . The winding canals of Venice, Italy were one of the scenes snapped by AirPano over a period of eight years . Sergey Semenov, the 32-year-old coordinator behind the project, said: 'To make these images, firstly we create aerial spherical panoramas, but this is not an easy task. 'We often photograph from a drone, but we also photograph from helicopters, airplanes, dirigibles, hot air balloons and helium balloons. 'Since the beginning of the project, AirPano team has created panoramas of the most interesting and significant places and cities of the Earth. The Octavio Frias de Oliveira Bridge in Sao Paulo, Brazil looks like something out of a film set in this photograph . This jaw-dropping shot of the Miami River in Miami, Florida has been created using skillful manipulation in Photoshop . The sun creates a magnificent glow in this image of the Monument to the Revolution in Mexico City . 'The only problems we have are with permission usually, in some places, like Stonehenge, it's strictly forbidden to fly near the monument. 'We plan to visit many more cities yet, including the likes of Indonesia, Japan and Great Britain in the next three months.' This image of Wolf Point in Chicago - snapped by a group of Russian photographers - has glowing rings thanks to the position of the sun .

Before getting behind the wheel of a £200,000, 200mph sports car, you might at least spare a few months of your precious life learning how to drive. But police were unable to ascertain whether the driver of this Ferrari supercar had bothered with that small precaution, after they found he didn't have a valid driving licence. The grey Ferrari 458 was stopped on the M40 near Bicester, Oxfordshire, after a member of the public reported a sports car driving over the speed limit. Seized by police: A £200,000 Ferrari 458 sits by the side of the road after it was stopped by traffic police investigating reports of a speeding sports car racing along the M40 near Bicester, Oxfordshire . After a traffic officers discovered the driver - who was using a German number plate - did not have a licence, he was reported to Thames Valley police and taken to the 'nearest point of safety'. First officially unveiled in 2009, the Ferrari 458 packs a direct fuel-injection V8 engine capable of producing 458 horsepower, taking it from 0-62mph in less than three seconds. The car, which has a top speed of 202mph, was decorated with a novelty bumper sticker pronouncing it an 'official speed camera testing vehicle'. It was last spotted being loaded onto a flatbed truck for the long, slow journey to the car pound. Cheeky: The rear of the vehicle is dedicated with a bumper sticking describing it as an 'official speed camera testing vehicle. Ferrari 458s have a top speed of 202mph and can go from 0-60mph in just three seconds . A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: 'The Ferrari was pulled over at about 9.15am this morning by junction 9 on the M40 on the northbound carriageway. 'The driver had no licence so the car was seized and he was reported for driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence. 'We used a recovery vehicle and he was dropped off at the nearest point of safety. I believe it was a Ferrari 458 with a German number plate. 'It was pulled over after a report that a sports car was driving quite quickly. We do not know if this was the same vehicle that was reported for speeding.' Officers will now carry out a background check on the driver before deciding on their next course of action.

Summary: Driver of the supercar was reported to police before being dropped off . The 200mph vehicle was loaded onto a flatbed to be taken to the car pound . Unveiled in 2009, Ferrari 458s go from 0-60mph in less than three seconds .


Grandmother Anna Maria Thomas, 61, from Putney, London, was strangled to death by her lodger, six months after she met him at church . A lodger strangled a Mormon grandmother to death after she invited him to stay at her flat to avoid paying the so-called bedroom tax. Anna Maria Thomas, 61, asked Felix Gutierrez-Cortez to live at her two-bedroom home in Putney, south west London, after they met in June 2013 through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The 34-year-old, who previously slept rough at Clapham Junction station, moved in to act as Ms Thomas's carer but also to fill her second befroom, which would have otherwise been subject to the Government's controversial under-occupancy charge. The charge, which came into force in April 2013, limits a tenant's housing benefit if they have an unused bedroom in their property. But the Old Bailey heard how Ms Thomas was killed by her lodger, just six months after the arrangement was made. The court heard how Ms Thomas was found strangled to death in her flat on December 10, her face swollen and her eyes bulging out of her head. She was covered with a pink duvet and propped up by a blood-soaked floral pillow, the court heard. Paramedics had gone to her flat after Gutierrez-Cortez phoned 999, saying he had found her lifeless body on the living room floor. But it later emerged that Ms Thomas had been lying dead in her flat for up to two days. The Old Bailey was told that the postmortem gave the cause of death as compression of the neck, which was most likely caused by strangulation. The Spanish-born Belgian national was today cleared by a jury of murdering his landlady, but convicted of manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility. He has been remanded in custody to be sentenced on 24 April. Judge John Bevan QC told him: 'You have been convicted of causing Anna Thomas' death, but it is clear that you are ill and therfore you have been convicted of manslaughter and not murder.' The court heard how the pair would attend church together at St Marks in Battersea, although Gutierrez-Cortez was not with her when she was last seen alive on Sunday 8 December. The pensioner had invited Felix Gutierrez-Cortez, 34, to live with her at her two-bedroom flat in Southfields (pictured) so that she could stop her housing benefit being reduced due to the so-called bedroom tax . Prosecutor David Howker QC told the court: 'Before he lived there he had been a rough sleeper in and around Clapham Junction. 'Their cohabitation was no doubt a convenient arrangement providing him with a rent free roof over his head and it meant she would avoid the spare bedroom tax and have someone around the house.' The pensioner's last movements included a visit to church, followed by a trip to the library and Sainsbury's in the Clapham Junction area. The last sighting of her alive was when she was seen getting off the bus near her flat, two days before she

Also wanted to avoid reduction in housing benefit due to second bedroom . But six months later, she was found strangled to death, wrapped in a duvet . Paranoid schizophrenic Gutierrez-Cortez, 34, convicted of manslaughter .

A happily-married bearded woman is debating shaving her facial hair for her belated wedding photos, as she and her husband prepare to celebrate their five-year anniversary on tonight's episode of the TLC reality series Strange Love. When she was 13-years-old Annalisa Hackleman, from Sunnyvale, California, was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome, a hormonal condition that causes an increase in hair grown on her face and body. While her husband supported her decision to grow out her beard after years of shaving, Annalisa is unsure about flaunting her facial hair in their anniversary photos. 'David is super supportive and accepting of my facial hair. I don't think he loves my facial hair, but he loves me and that's all that matters,' she says in the episode, according to People. Scroll down for video . Filled with love: Annalisa Hackleman posed for a photo with her husband David, whom she says was supportive of her decision to grow out her beard after years of shaving her face . Moving on: Several years ago, Annalisa revealed to online magazine Beardspo.com that, as a child, she had been incredibly confused about why people felt she should be ashamed of her facial hair . But despite insisting she is sure of her husband's unwavering devotion to her, this evening's episode of the popular reality series will see Annalisa questioning whether she really wants to keep her facial hair – or whether she should save it off in order to improve the appearance of the couple's photos. Several years ago, Annalisa revealed to online magazine Beardspo.com that, as a child, she had been incredibly confused about why people felt she should be ashamed of her facial hair - but admitted that, as time went on, their cruel comments and jibes left her feeling terrible about herself. 'I didn’t see why it mattered that I had darker hair on my face,' she explained. 'At the time it was still peach fuzz looking. After being hounded about it, I became self conscious. My mother decided I needed laser hair removal which ultimately didn’t work and began shaving my face to look "normal".' She added: 'About three years ago, I was at the point of shaving my beard twice a day... It was a never ending battle. I formed agoraphobia (unable to leave my house) and would feel anxiety trying to plan outings or go anywhere. When I did leave the house after much stress, crying and worry I found the anxiety wouldn’t calm down. 'Thankfully my husband helped to get me out of my haze and demanded something be done as it was ruining our life together.' Overcoming illness: The California resident has suffered from PCOS, which causes increased hair growth, since the age of 13 . It was then that Annalisa began growing out her beard and embracing her facial hair once and for all - and ironically, at the time of the interview, she confessed that she didn't 'know if I'll ever remove my beard again', adding that it made her feel more 'free, confident and more womanly'

A driver was stunned to spot a sheep being driven around London in the back of a Volvo. John Bowden was on his way home when he saw the animal staring back at him through the back window of the car in front. The 44-year-old said he couldn't believe his eyes when he noticed the unusual passenger as he pulled up to traffic lights on the South Circular Road near Tulse Hill station, south London.

Jenson Button, newly wearing a wedding ring, can afford to smile even if some of the rituals of his long career in Formula One will not be repeated at Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix. Three times he has won around Albert Park. There is little chance of that tally being added to in his temperamental McLaren-Honda. There is absolutely no chance of a pre-race coffee and post-race celebratory fish and chips at the Stokehouse on St Kilda beach. It has burned down. McLaren's Jenson Button is gearing up for his 16th season in Formula One . Button has recorded three victories in Melbourne during his career . But, aged 35, just being here is the great boon. A 16th season beckons after he feared being dropped last year to make way for Fernando Alonso, the incoming double world champion from Ferrari. But he was kept on — the result of a boardroom fight between McLaren chairman Ron Dennis, who favoured Kevin Magnussen partnering Alonso, and fellow shareholder Mansour Ojjeh, who supported whichever driver Dennis did not want. Ojjeh won. ‘This is where I should be,’ said Button in the paddock on Thursday. ‘It doesn’t feel like a bonus, it feels normal, — and exciting because it is such an exciting new package of engine and car.’ But as cruel irony would have it, Alonso will miss this race after he banged his head in testing and Magnussen has been called up to replace him in tandem with Button. Button poses with the NSX concept vehicle at a Honda F1 Grand Prix press conference . Alonso’s accident in Barcelona last month prompted a host of theories: among them that he had a fit before losing control or suffered an electric shock. The second theory is totally denied by the team. Button, however, was concerned enough to examine the data of Alonso’s car to satisfy himself there was nothing for him to fear. ‘I will not get into a car unless I am 100 per cent sure that it is safe,’ he said. ‘I spent hours going through the data with the engineers and talking to them about the incident. ‘There was nothing wrong with the car whatsoever. I needed to know that before getting into the car at the next test, so I made certain of it. ‘When you are driving at the limit, you need to be sure. I trust these guys and that is why I have the confidence to drive it this weekend.’ Yes, but not as fast as McLaren would like. They are nowhere near the top teams — in expected order: Mercedes, by miles, Williams, Red Bull and Ferrari. Button, a glass-half-full sort of man, was realistic in his assessment of his team’s prospects. Button married his fiancee Jessica Michibata in a secret ceremony in Hawaii in January . ‘We definitely won’t be fighting for a win here,’ he said. ‘The important thing for us is to see improvements every race and progress. ‘The power unit package is so tight and so advanced that you do have issues and

However, many don’t feel as luxurious at Huawei’s model. The entire crown, frame and hinge are made of steel which makes it feel expensive, sturdy and most importantly, makes it look like a watch. The screen is bright and clear, but its size and the fact it is predominantly used to show notifications means there is little added benefit to this. There will be a range of straps available when the watch launches and I can see it being popular

Foreign aid spending could outstrip the defence budget within 15 years, according to an analysis published last night. Research conducted by the House of Commons Library found aid spending could eclipse defence by 2030/31, assuming current spending changes continue under successive governments. According to the analysis, defence spending will be £27.1 billion by 2031, but the aid budget will be £28.3 billion, the Daily Telegraph reported. Prime Minister David Cameron, who has dismissed concerns about the impact of cuts on the capacity of the British forces . In recent years, the Department for International Development has seen its budget increase sharply as ministers try to hit the target of spending 0.7 per cent of GDP on aid. Last week the Mail revealed that the Tory manifesto will not commit to keeping defence spending at the Nato target of 2 per cent of national income. Yesterday David Cameron dismissed concerns raised by the head of the US Army about the impact of cuts on the capacity of British forces, insisting it remained a 'very strong and capable partner' for the Americans. In a sign of the pressure on the Prime Minister over the military budget, former Defence Secretary Liam Fox said he and fellow Tory MPs would find it 'hard to swallow' if Mr Cameron allowed spending to fall below the 2 per cent Nato threshold while maintaining a pledge to spend 0.7 per cent of GDP on aid. Former defence secretary Liam Fox, pictured, has said he and fellow Tory MPs would find it 'hard to swallow' if defence spending fell below the Nato threshold . Ministers are under increasing pressure from Tory MPs and senior military figures to commit Britain to meeting the Nato target after 2016. With deep cuts to Whitehall budgets to continue after May's general election, Chancellor George Osborne is reported to have warned privately that it may fall below that level. The most senior civil servant at the Ministry of Defence said that the department would 'clearly' like the Nato target to be met - although he said that it would be for ministers in the next government to decide. Giving evidence to the Commons Public Accounts Committee, Jon Thompson, the permanent secretary at the MoD, said: 'Clearly, we would like 2% of GDP but that's for the next government to decide.' He said that on current forecasts, GDP growth was expected to outstrip the growth in the defence budget, so that it would drop below 2% at some point in the next parliament. He warned that further cuts in spending could ultimately affect the capability levels of the armed forces. 'It rather depends on how deep the cut is and how much further financial efficiency we can drive. If it were to be more than the level of financial efficiency we can drive, then yes, it will impact on capability,' he said. Speaking at a campaign event in Colchester, the Prime Minister said the UK's defence budget was the fifth largest in the world and second only to the US in the Nato alliance. He said:

Summary: According to analysis, defence spending by 2031 would be £27.1 billion . If spending changes continue, foreign aid budget would be £28.3billion . Department for International Development has seen sharp budget increase . Tory manifesto will not commit to keeping defence spending at 2% of GDP . Prime Minister has dismissed concerns about impact of cuts on British forces .


Terrified passengers began to 'bleed from their noses and mouths' after a plane suffered an engine failure and suddenly plunged in the skies over China, according to reports. The mid-air drama unfolded on Orient Thai Airlines flight OX682, which was forced to abort its journey from Thailand to China and make an emergency landing.

Joe Hart has declared that he totally respects the authority of Manuel Pellegrini, as the Manchester City boss comes under increased pressure at the Etihad Stadium following defeat to Barcelona. The goalkeeper was outstanding as City were beaten 3-1 on aggregate in the Champions League last-16, with only his string of saves over the two legs preventing Pellegrini's side from an even more embarrassing result. Hart was dropped by the Chilean following a poor run of form last season, but returned soon afterwards as Manchester City went on to win the Premier League title and the Capital One Cup. Joe Hart chats to David James for a special BT Sport interview set to air at 6.30pm on Friday night . The England goalkeeper was speaking to James during ‘David James meets Joe Hart’ Hart said that Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has his full backing despite a disappointing season . This season has been less straightforward so far, but Hart, speaking to David James during David James meets Joe Hart in a special programme which airs on BT Sport 1 at 6.30pm on Friday, is adamant the under-fire manager retains his total respect. 'It was bad because I never wanted to come out the team, but I had to - the manager made his decision,' said Hart. 'I thought he was fantastic with me how he was. 'As a manager, I totally respect his authority. He had a decision to make, he didn’t just flip a board and suddenly you’re not playing. 'I just wanted to use the time for the best, and when I did come in, I wanted it to feel natural. I just wanted to slot in. I didn’t want to come in and make a million saves. I didn’t want to come in and change a game. I just wanted to slot back in, that’s the way it should be, and carry on.'

Pellegrini gestures in frustration on the touchline during Manchester City's 1-0 defeat at Barcelona . His side were eventually beaten 3-1 on aggregate in the last-16 of the Champions League . For the second time, Manchester City have struggled in the Premier League following a title-winning campaign, and Hart admits his side haven't been good enough this year. 'We’ve definitely got the capabilities and we’ve got the team,' he continued. 'But that’s only half the battle in this league. It doesn’t matter how good you are, or how good you think you are. It’s what you do on the day and you can lose against anyone. 'I’ve only had two (titles) to defend. I can only speak from that experience and the first one we did find hard because we’d built on everything to get it. 'I think we would openly admit that the season afterwards we expected that we would do it, that we had cracked it and that we were going to be that team. 'But we weren’t. We had to fight tooth and

Goalkeeper admits Manchester City haven't been good enough this season . Hart rates Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer as best in the world .


Battered and bruised, this is how 95-year-old Monica Bridle spent her last days. She could be mistaken for a victim of a mugging or a car crash. But the vicious purple welts, spreading from her cheekbones to her forehead, were not caused by any collision or assault. The pensioner, mother to a large loving family, had simply been tipped out of her bed by a bungling healthcare assistant at Southampton General Hospital. Incredibly, the hospital did not even think to tell Mrs Bridle’s family. Her daughter only found out when she visited her mother the next day. Monica Bridle, 95 (pictured) spent her last days alive covered in purple bruises across her cheeks and forehead after being tipped out of her bed by a bungling healthcare assistant at Southampton General Hospital . This shocking incident, a damning example of the problems at the heart of our health service, is revealed in a report by the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman. An agency worker attempted to change Mrs Bridle’s sheets without moving her – knocking her down the gap between the bed and the wall. And when nurses put Mrs Bridle back in her bed, they thought so little of the incident that they did not bother telling her family. The ombudsman found that the University Hospital Southampton NHS Trust, which was in charge of Mrs Bridle’s care in the spring of 2013, had not followed proper procedures during the incident, or in the hours afterwards. At least two workers should have helped move her, the incident should have been properly logged, and her relatives should have been informed. Mrs Bridle, whose family includes three children, six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, died five days after the accident. She had been battling pneumonia for six weeks and her death was not linked to the accident. Mrs Bridle (pictured) had been battling pneumonia for six weeks and her death was not linked to the accident, but her large family are furious at the lack of respect with which she was treated in her final days . But her large family are still furious at the lack of respect with which she was treated in her final days. Her daughter Maureen Wylie, 60, did not hear about the accident until she visited her mother the next day at her nursing home. Mrs Bridle had been discharged back to the home without the family being told, and there had been no mention of the accident. Mrs Wylie, who still gets flashbacks of her mother’s battered face two years later, decided to speak to the Daily Mail in an attempt to stop similar incidents happening to others. ‘I feel so numb and angry,’ she said. ‘Those horrible bruises are my enduring memory of her death. ‘I remember very clearly seeing her face like that for the first time. I stood there shaking. I thought, what on earth have they done to her?’ The Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman found the University Hospital Southampton NHS Trust had not followed proper procedures over the incident at Southampton General Hospital (pictured)

The figure of speech 'a chip off the old block' appears to an apt one for Henrik Larsson's son, Jordan following his recent stunning strike. The son of former Celtic, Barcelona and Manchester United striker Henrik scored a sublime solo effort for Norwegian side Helsingborg against Syrianska on Wednesday night. Larsson Jnr's strike is certainly one that his dad, and the current manager of Helsingborg, would have been proud of as he opened the scoring in their 2-2 draw during the Swedish Cup encounter.

A 10-year-old New Jersey boy died from injuries he suffered when he jumped from a window at his school, reportedly after having an argument with another student about a game of chess. The name of the boy, a fifth-grade student at the Grant School in Dumont, has not been released. He jumped from a second-story window at the school at noon on Friday and fell nearly 25 feet to the concrete below.

British drivers would have the cheapest petrol in western Europe if tax was not added by the Treasury, official figures reveal. Pre-tax petrol prices in the UK are lower than anywhere in the EU except Estonia, but when fuel duty and VAT are added the cost at the pump is among the highest. With just weeks until the Budget, the revelation will pile pressure for fuel duty cuts on Chancellor George Osborne who has called on fuel companies to reduce charges in the wake of falling global oil prices. Official data released by the government shows that the pre-tax costs of petrol in the UK has fallen to just 32.4p per litre, the second lowest in all of the EU . Tax adds another 76p per litre, making it the fifth highest behind the Netherlands, Italy, Malta and Greece . Total petrol prices have begun rising in recent weeks, after falling dramatically from £1.30 to £1.06 in the year to February. Ministers including Mr Osborne and his Lib Dem deputy Danny Alexander have repeatedly said the price on forecourts must fall to reflect the cheaper wholesale costs for fuel firms. But official data released by the government shows that the pre-tax costs of petrol has fallen to just 32.4p per litre, the second lowest in all of the EU. But tax adds another 76p per litre, making it the fifth highest behind the Netherlands, Italy, Malta and Greece. It means tax makes up 70 per cent of the total price of a litre of fuel, the joint highest with the Netherlands. By contrast, tax accounts for only 51 per cent in Bulgaria and 57 per cent in Hungary, Luxembourg and Lithuania. Professor Stephen Glaister, director of the RAC Foundation, said: 'These numbers tell a revealing story. For all the Chancellor's calls on oil companies to cut the cost of petrol and diesel the person who has the biggest influence over pump prices is Mr Osborne himself. 'Despite recent freezes in fuel duty, more than two-thirds of what we pay on the forecourts goes to the Treasury. 'We agree with the Chancellor that the cost of fuel is a big burden for the nation's 37 million motorists but if he really wants to ease that burden then he could do so overnight by reducing fuel tax.' The revelation will pile pressure on Chancellor George Osborne who has called on fuel companies to reduce charges in the wake of falling global oil prices . Howard Cox, founder of the FairFuelUK Campaign, said: 'For decades the highest fuel duty in Europe has held back the beneficial affects of having the lowest pre tax pump prices. 'Since 2011, FairFuelUK has prevented £30bn of tax hikes that Labour had planned if they had been in Government. 'Our haversack of empirical evidence endorsed by The Treasury shows that cutting duty will increase GDP, generate new jobs and lower inflation. 'It's no coincidence that five years of frozen duty and recent historic falls in oil prices have given rise to UK's blossoming economy. 'It's time that all parties recognise

Summary: EXCLUSIVE: Pre-tax petrol is 32.4p per litre in the UK, only Estonia lower . But after VAT and fuel duty is added, UK average price rises to £1.08 . Makes the pump price in the UK fifth highest in all of European Union . Only drivers in Greece, Malta, Italy and Netherlands pay more for petrol . Motoring groups call on George Osborne to announce cut in Budget .


London Broncos have released two of their overseas close-season signings, just five weeks into their Kingstone Press Championship campaign. The Broncos say 31-year-old prop Josh Cordoba, who had a brief spell in Super League with Hull in 2009, has left the club with immediate effect after they agreed to his request to be released from his contract. And London have announced that former Salford half-back Liam Foran, the 26-year-old brother of New Zealand international Kieran, has also left the club by mutual consent as he was keen to move back to Australia with his partner. London Broncos have released prop Josh Cordoba (pictured, right, playing for Cronulla Sharks) 'It was agreed by both parties that this was the best decision for the club moving forward,' said a Broncos spokesman. 'Interim head coach Andrew Henderson is currently looking at the transfer market to bring in the best replacements for these players to add to the existing squad. 'The club will make no further comment on either player.' The Londoners have won just two of their opening five matches since relegation from Super League and were hit last month by the departure of coach Joey Grima, who was granted a release for personal reasons in order to take his family back to Australia. Former Salford half-back has also left the Broncos as he was keen to move back to Australia with his partner .

Summary: Josh Cordoba's request to be released from his contract has been agreed . Liam Foran was keen to move back to Australia with his partner . London Broncos have won two of their five Championship matches so far .


West Bromwich Albion midfielder Chris Brunt has been suspended for one match and fined £8,000 after accepting a Football Association misconduct charge. The 30-year-old had requested a personal hearing after being charged with using abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards a match official in or around the tunnel area after the final whistle following Albion's 2-0 FA Cup defeat to Aston Villa this month. Brunt is banned with immediate effect and will miss Saturday's Barclays Premier League trip to Manchester City. West Bromwich Albion midfielder has been handed a one match ban and an £8,000 fine by the FA . Brunt argues with referee Anthony Taylor after he sends off Claudio Yacob during the game at Villa Park . The Northern Ireland international faced the threat of a two-game ban and Albion's director of football administration Richard Garlick believes the punishment reflected the circumstances in which the game finished. Villa fans invaded the pitch at the final whistle and had also run onto the surface while the game was still in play, with the invasions the subject of an FA investigation. Referee Anthony Taylor had also sent off Albion's Claudio Yacob and Villa's Jack Grealish towards the end of the match. Thousands streamed on to the pitch after the match, which helped make Brunt's an 'extraordinary case' 'We had a fair hearing and feel the punishment is an acknowledgement by the Commission that this was an extraordinary case,' said Garlick, after the Independent Regulatory Commission in London on Tuesday. 'It was a difficult end to the game for everyone and emotions were running high. 'I think Chris's disciplinary record, which has seen him issued with one red card in more than 400 appearances at the highest levels, was also rightly noted.'

Summary: The FA have handed a one match ban and £8,000 fine to Chris Brunt . West Bromwich Albion midfielder was charged with using abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards a match official . The incident occurred in the aftermath of West Brom's FA Cup exit . Brunt misses Saturday's Premier League trip to face Manchester City .


Papiss Cisse was banned for seven games for his part in the spitting storm that also involved Manchester United defender Jonny Evans. Evans himself is facing a ban of six matches if found guilty after the Football Association charged both men. The incident came during United’s 1-0 win at Newcastle on Wednesday night when the pair spat at each other following a first-half tangle. Jonny Evans appears to launch spit in the direction of the floored Newcastle United striker . Papiss Cisse subsequently retaliates, and appears to aim spit of his own back at the Manchester United man . Evans (left) and Cisse clash near the half-way line at St James' Park following the unpleasant exchange . Everton (a), March 15 . Arsenal (h), March 21 . Sunderland (a), April 5 . Liverpool (a), April 13 . Tottenham (h), April 19 . Swansea (h), April 25 . Leicester (a), May 2 . Both Newcastle striker Cisse, who admitted the charge, and Evans released statements on Thursday in which they disagreed on the intent behind the disgusting scenes. Bizarrely, Evans claimed he was shocked by the allegations and protested his innocence. Cisse responded by apologising but said he was provoked when Evans spat at him. Indeed, Sportsmail understands that Cisse is furious that the Northern Ireland international has not admitted his guilt, and is adamant the defender spat at his leg. And Cisse will inform FA disciplinary chiefs that Evans intentionally spat at him when questioned about the incident. Cisse has been banned for seven games after accepting the charge from the FA on Thursday . This season, FA guidelines dictate that the punishment for spitting should be in line with FIFA's six game ban for the offence. Cisse faces an additional one game ban because he has already been sent off for violent conduct after elbowing Everton's Seamus Coleman (above) in December. Having conceded he was wrong to react by spitting in Evans’s face, Cisse will be fined a week’s wages of around £40,000 by Newcastle, who will now be without their 11-goal top scorer until May. FA rules were changed in the summer to bring them in line with FIFA guidelines which state a player found guilty of spitting at an opponent will be suspended for six games. However, Cisse has already served a three-match ban for violent conduct this season after elbowing Everton’s Seamus Coleman and as a result will be hit with an additional one-game suspension. He will not return until the final three matches of the campaign. Evans, meanwhile, could miss crucial Premier League fixtures against Spurs, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea should he be found guilty. But the 27-year-old will contest the charge, to which he must respond by 6pm on Friday evening. The Senegalese striker points the finger at United defender Evans after the ugly incident . Newcastle managing director Lee Charnley said: 'Both ourselves and Papiss agree that this kind of behaviour is not acceptable. 'In life, when you do something wrong you have to front up, admit your mistakes and accept the punishment. Papiss

A 21-year-old woman has been arrested by counter terror police at Luton Airport after landing on a flight from Istanbul. The woman, a British national, remains in the custody of Scotland Yard officers after being detained this morning. Her arrest comes days after three teenage boys were stopped by police as they tried to enter Syria from the Turkish capital. A 21-year-old woman was arrested at Luton Airport this morning as she landed on a flight from Istanbul . 'This morning at 11.15am officers from the Counter Terrorism Unit SO15 arrested a 21-year-old woman at Luton Airport on suspicion of preparation of acts of terrorism under section 5 of the terrorism act,' a Scotland Yard spokesman said. 'The woman, a British national, was arrested as she entered the UK having landed on a flight from Istanbul. She is currently in custody.' It is not clear whether the woman had been in Syria before leaving Turkey. Earlier this week three teenage boys were stopped as they tried to join jihadis in the war-ravaged country. The youngsters, described as 'naive' sixth form students, were caught by officials when their parents phoned police to report concerns. They were put on a flight back to London last week and questioned by counter terrorism police. Three London schoolgirls have also fled the UK to join extremists in the Middle East. Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and 15-year-old Amira Abase were captured on CCTV boarding a 17-hour bus to the Syrian border from Istanbul.

Giant ‘cannibal’ slugs are set to wreak a trail of destruction in gardens across Britain, experts have warned. Two mild winters in a row have created the perfect conditions for Spanish slugs - an horrific, aggressive species which grows up to six inches long - to expand their territory. The species, nicknamed the cannibal slug because of its tendency to feast on the remains of dead relatives, was first spotted in this country in 2012. The giant Spanish slug, pictured, was first spotted in the UK in 2012 and is now starting to take hold . Sightings have since been reported in Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Kent, London and Hampshire. But this year it is expected to tighten its hold on the country and spread even further. Dr Ian Bedford, the expert who first identified the species three years ago, warned that it is likely to thrive after two very mild winters. ‘If this warm weather continues and we do not have any cold spells before May we could see very high numbers of the Spanish slug this year,’ he said. Dr Bedford, head of entomology at the John Innes Centre in Norwich, said the slug - which officially is called Arion vulgaris and originates in southern Europe - cannot survive extreme cold temperatures. Common native slugs, although less aggressive, are much better at surviving cold conditions. Experts say it is too early to know whether common varieties will have a boom year, because the volumes of rain we see this spring and summer will be much more closely tied to their fortunes. The winter of 2012/13 saw several cold snaps, blizzards and frosts, which hit the new population of Spanish slugs hard. But the intervening two winters have been much warmer, particularly in southern England which has barely seen any snow in 24 months. The average temperature in England for December, January and February this year was 4.4C (39.9F), and the year before was even warmer at 5.8C (42.4F). The average English winter temperature is 4.2C (39.6F). Slug expert Dr Ian Bedford, pictured, said Britain was on course for record numbers of Spanish slugs . The slug, pictured, is not able to survive extremely cold winters and frozen conditions . The Spanish slugs, which are thought to have made it to the British mainland on imported vegetables, have been recorded feeding on dead mice, meat and each other and can withstand up to 20 slug pellets. They also devour garden plants - terrible news for gardeners. Unlike native species, they produce so much slime that birds and hedgehogs tend not to eat them. They also produce twice as many eggs as native slugs, so are more likely to increase their populations and expand their territory quickly. Dr Bedford said: ‘If you spot these in your garden the best way to deal with them is to drown them in a bucket of soapy water, add a bit of household bleach, and then bury the remains 18 inches deep. ‘If they spread it could really affect British farmers. We found in 2012 that farmers

Summary: The Spanish giant slugs arrived from the continent during 2012 . It is believed they managed to sneak into Britain aboard a vegetable lorry . A succession of mild winters has left the country at risk of an infestation .

Lukas Podolski has indicated his intention to return to Arsenal in the summer, having failed to make an impression on a loan spell at Inter Milan. Speaking to Sport Bild, the World Cup winner said: 'The chapter is not closed with Arsenal, because there is no purchase option.

Lukas Podolski (right) has revealed his desire to return to Arsenal when his loan spell at Inter Milan ends . 'When you're on loan you never know what can happen, so at the end of the season we'll analyse things freely and decide the situation.' Podolski was left out of Inter's squad for the Europa League and has seen his performance levels criticised by Nerazzurri coach Roberto Mancini. The 29-year-old added: 'At Inter there have been some negative situations, but I see the bright side in all of it. 'Also, it's generally easier to criticise someone who comes on loan, as I did this winter.' Podolski (front) has failed to make an impact out on loan and was left out of Inter's Europa League squad . Arsenal are set to join Everton, Stoke and a Singapore Select XI team for the Barclays Asia Trophy Singapore in July 2015, which will see the Gunners return to the country for the first time since 1991 as part of their pre-season campaign. Arsene Wenger said: 'It will be a typical English Premier League competition in Asia and we know that English football is very popular in Asia, and that's a good opportunity to show how much we respect Asia as well. '[Strong competition] is what you're looking for, to prepare well with the right intensity in the games to have a look at everybody as well. We have young promising players who can be a name after the competition. It's a good opportunity as well for Singapore people to see these players.' Inter boss Roberto Mancini has criticised the 29-year-old's level of performances at the club .

Aaron Schock predicted in his farewell address on Thursday that like another Republican representative from Illinois who once held his seat, he would ultimately persevere. Schock said he would leave Capitol Hill with 'sadness and humility', but he knows that 'God has a plan for' everyone. He offered no apology to other members of Congress, his constituents or taxpayers for a litany of lavish claims.

It was one of a series of celebrity events he attended and which were posted on his Instagram, featuring Arianna Grande and even Pope Francis. It was billed by Schock as a 'very legitimate trip' as it coincided with a visit to the city by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He then posted a picture of himself with the Indian leader. The final blow was when Politico discovered that Schock had wrongly reported and been reimbursed for mileage on his personal vehicle - bought at taxpayers' expense. But he acknowledged nothing of that in his speech, instead using it to say he was going through 'defeats' like Lincoln - the president nicknamed 'Honest Abe' throughout his political career for his utter personal integrity. 'I also know that every person faces adversity in life. Abraham Lincoln held this seat in Congress in one term. But few faced as many defeats in his personal, business and public life as he did,' Schock said.

An historic Grade II listed building on one of London's most desirable squares is set to be transformed into a 'mega-mansion' worth more than £60million. Number 52 Cadogan Square in Belgravia will be turned into what is being billed as one of London's finest recently refurbished homes after plans were submitted to Kensington borough council. Developers want to install a gym and spa along with a 'gentleman's cloakroom', 'ladies' powder room', commercial kitchen and staff quarters in the basement of the six-story property. There is also a family 'media room', 'his' and 'her' offices and a 'women's' sitting room on the same floor. The six-story Number 52 Cadogan Square in Belgravia, central London is to be refurbished into a so-called 'mega-mansion' worth £60million . Plans show the huge scale of the central London mansion - which will include a 'ladies' powder room', 'juice bar', nanny's bedroom and jacuzzi . The ground floor of the mansion will have a dining room for 20 along with a huge drawing room and wine cellar. On the first floor, there will be an enormous master bedroom with an equally large dressing room and bathroom. The bedroom suite is so vast it even has its own kitchenette. The second floor boasts three massive guest bedroom suites while the fourth floor has three children's bedrooms and a nanny's bedroom, all of which are en-suite. In total, there will be around 20,000 sq/ft of accommodation - making it around 22 times the size of the average new home. The property also includes a sizeable mews property at the rear. The best properties on Cadogan Square will typically sell for around £3,000 per sq/ft - potentially giving number 52 a £60 million price-tag. Stamp duty on a £60 million home is £7.1 million - enough to pay for 300 nurses. Number 52 Cadogan Square was built in 1886 for Thomas Andros de la Rue, a wealthy printer, who wanted a stunning Queen Anne Revival style home. It was later the residence of sugar tycoon Vernon Tate, who lived there until his death in 1950s, after which the property remained in Tate & Lyle ownership and was used as accommodation for executives visiting London. As well as 20,000sq ft of floor space - making the property three times bigger than the average home - the property includes a mews residence . The building, which was designed in a 'Queen Anne revival' style, features a number of ornate architectural features . But after being empty for a number of years, the property is said to be in need of 'significant refurbishment' and architects, acting on behalf of The Cadogan Estate, have submitted plans to return it to an opulent family home. Photos submitted by architects to the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Council show an incredibly ornate interior, with elaborate chimney pieces, carved oak panelling and stained glass windows. The outside, according to experts, is an 'archetypal example of Queen Anne Revival style'. Local estate agents were excited when asked about the prospect of 52 Cadogan Square being returned to a

Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond today condemned terror apologists who 'seek to excuse' ISIS extremists including Jihadi John. He used speech in London to hit out at the likes of campaign group Cage, which claimed that it was MI5's attempts to recruit Mohammed Emwazi that led to him becoming radicalised and emerge as Jihadi John. Mr Hammond condemned critics who try to 'excuse' the terrorists by pointing the finger of blame at the security services. Philip Hammond condemned critics who try to 'excuse' terrorists including Jihadi John by pointing the finger of blame at the security services . British citizens who travel to Iraq and Syria to fight against ISIS could face prosecution if they return. Philip Hammond said that parents and schools have a responsibility to help prevent young people from travelling abroad to take part in the conflict in Syria and Iraq. Asked what the authorities' response would be to Britons who take up arms against IS, the Foreign Secretary said: 'The simple, legal answer is that anyone conducting irregular fighting activity overseas is subject to British legislative sanction. 'That is unlawful activity and can be dealt with on their return to the UK.' The parents of three London schoolgirls believed to have entered Syria with the aim of joining IS - Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and 15-year-old Amira Abase - are later due to appear before the House of Commons Home Affairs Committee, alongside the ambassador of Turkey. Cage sparked outrage last month with its attempts to justify Emwazi's brutal killings of ISIS hostages. In an extraordinary press conference, the group's research director Asim Qureshi said Kuwait-born Briton Emwazi was a 'beautiful young man', 'extremely gentle' and 'the most humble young person that I ever knew'. The 32-year-old blamed British security services for Emwazi's radicalisation, saying he had tried to fit in but had been made to feel like an 'outsider'. Today Mr Hammond vehemently rejected the idea that the actions of Emwazi and other ISIS murderers can ever be justified. He said: 'The exposure of the alleged identity of one of the most murderous ISIL terrorists over the last few weeks has seen some seeking to excuse the terrorists and point the finger of blame at the agencies themselves. 'We are absolutely clear: the responsibility for acts of terror rests with those who commit them. But a huge burden of responsibility also lies with those who act as apologists for them.' In a rare speech on the intelligence agencies, Mr Hammond will mount a strong defence of their work saying that it was only their 'brilliance' that had kept Britain safe in the face of the continuing terrorist threat. The agencies have also faced criticism over the fact that Emwazi was allowed to travel to Syria - where is believed to have carried out the brutal beheadings of a series of western hostages - even though he had be known to MI5 since 2008. Speaking at the Royal United Services Institute in London, Mr Hammond - who is responsible for MI6 and GCHQ - said that agencies

They said it led to him becoming radicalised and emerging as Jihadi John . Hammond says responsibility also lies with those who act as apologists .

Teresa Morris, the administrator of the Barberton rest home, said the residents were inspired by a similar calendar another retirement center nearby had done. Wilma Purvis and Norma Elfrink were the centerfold for the stripped down charity calendar made by residents of the Pleasant Pointe Assisted Living facility in Barberton, Ohio . 'They were so cute about it,' she told the Daily Mail Online. 'It wasn't about shock value, but to be bold and beautiful.'

She said none of the models said no to the shoot in December and that she 'felt glamorous' after taking off her clothes to pose in a witches hat. Mrs Genet was sad that her husband, who died in November, did not get to see the calendar. However, she said her whole family, which includes five daughters, 14 grandchilden and 30 great-grandchildren, have picked up copies. 'They can't believe that's grandma,' she said.

It’s the sort of meal that might have gone down well with John the Baptist. But 21-year-old Stephen Oldham was less enthused to find a live locust crawling inside a bag of ‘ready to eat’ rocket salad he bought from a Sainsbury's store in Bath, Somerset. The university architecture student filmed the fully-grown insect before going back to the store with the unopened £1 bag, which had contents that originated in Spain. Scroll down for video .

Sainsbury's are now handling it.’ Mr Oldham posted a video of the locust on his Facebook page last Wednesday - which has since been viewed more than 3,500 times - with the caption: 'Today my salad came with extra protein.' Similar incidents of locusts being found in supermarket salads in Britain were reported by Waitrose, Marks & Spencer and Tesco customers in April, May and July of last year. 'Surprised': The architecture student Mr Oldham (left) filmed the fully-grown insect (right) before going back to the store with the unopened £1 bag, which had contents that originated in Spain . A Sainsbury's spokesman said: ‘We've apologised to Steve for this. 'Clearly it should never have happened and we have contacted him to make it up to him. ‘Our supplier has stringent checks in place on the production line and we will be looking closely at how this occurred.’ In the Gospels of Mark and Matthew, John the Baptist is said to live off locusts and wild honey.
