Australian airlines will be required to have two crew in the cockpit of their planes at all times after the Germanwings tragedy that killed 150 passengers and crew. Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said the rules will apply to any regular aircraft carrying 50 passengers or more and will 'take effect immediately'. French prosecutors allege Andreas Lubitz, the co-pilot of downed flight 4U9525, plunged his plane into an Alpine ravine on March 24 after locking his captain out of the cockpit. Qantas has announced that it is discussions with regulators over it's cockpit policies . ''Today's decision is a sensible, measured response that combines safeguarding the travelling public with the practical capabilities of the aviation sector,' Mr Truss said in a statement. A spokesman for Qantas, the nation's biggest airline, said the new arrangement would apply to Qantas, QantasLink, Network Aviation and Jetstar flights. 'When one pilot needs to leave the cockpit for any reason, another authorised person will occupy the jump seat,' the spokesman said. The spokesman said the airline has 'numerous layers of screening and support for pilots'. That includes medical checks, stress management training, confidential counselling and psychometric testing during recruitment. In the UK, a few airlines have announced the new move will come into force tomorrow and aviation insiders say there are moves to make it 'mandatory' across all airlines . Qantas have said that they are still considering whether or not their policies need to be tightened . In a statement released to Daily Mail Australia last week, Virgin Australia said their pilots also undergo medical exams. The airline said they are constantly in contact with regulatory bodies and have comprehensive measures in place on all flights to ensure the safety of guests and crew. However they said that those details were to remain confidential for security purposes . 'The Virgin Australia Group continuously undertakes detailed risk reviews, including consultation with the relevant regulatory and industry bodies. Any updates regarding changes to our processes will be provided where appropriate,' a Virgin spokesperson said. 'All Virgin Australia Group Pilots undertake regular aeromedical exams, which include mental health assessments.' Airlines and aviation regulators around the world last week began taking steps to ensure there are always two people in the cockpit.

Lubitz was sitting in this cockpit, pictured, when he commanded the jet to crash into the Alps at 400mph . In the UK, EasyJet and Virgin Atlantic announced plans to change their aviation policy on staff numbers in the cockpit. Monarch and Thomas Cook also confirmed they had changed their policies, while Ryanair, Jet2 and Flybe said they already required two crew members to be in the cockpit at all times. Elsewhere around Europe, the continent's third-largest budget carrier, Norwegian Air Shuttle, said it would require two people in the cockpit at all times for safety reasons.

The end of the hated annual tax return will be signalled by the Chancellor today. George Osborne will use his last Budget before the General Election to unveil digital tax accounts for millions who currently have to complete self-assessment forms. They will work like online bank accounts and keep an up-to-the-minute record of all the tax someone owes or has paid. George Osborne will unveil digital tax accounts for millions in his Budget today . New digital tax accounts are designed to end hassle for individuals but also boost business by significantly cutting down on red tape. Individuals and firms can already choose to fill in their annual tax return online, but this is simply the paper form on a website. Once a year, and a year behind, taxpayers have to send HMRC information it already holds on income – meaning many people end up with tax affairs that are out of date and incorrectly coded. They have only one opportunity a year to interact with tax officials to reconcile their account and notify them of any change of circumstances. The digital accounts will allow such updates at any time. It will mean users can see all the taxes they need to pay without having to complete a tax return, and pay taxes they owe when it suits them – by linking to their bank account so they can pay in instalments or by direct debit, for instance. There will be particular advantages for businesses, which currently have to pay different taxes at different times, including VAT, corporation tax, income tax and National Insurance. By early 2016, all five million small businesses and the first ten million individuals will have access to digital tax accounts. All businesses in the UK and 55million individuals will have one by the end of the next Parliament. Those who have difficulty gaining access to the internet will continue to be allowed to submit paper returns, or be offered support. Officials claim the system will cut the time it takes to complete tax returns from an average of 40 minutes to just ten minutes a year. The accounts will allow tax to be paid at any time and will radically simplify the payment of various levies for businesses. Because the system will be automatically updated with information from employers, pension providers or banks, taxpayers will not have to submit duplicate information about their income. The populist reform is the centrepiece of an intensely political Budget. Mr Osborne will hail the Government’s economic record, saying 1,000 jobs a day have been created during its time in power – more than the rest of the EU combined. The Chancellor will seek to frame the choice facing voters as one between an economic plan that is working but only half complete, and the ‘chaos’ of a weak Labour government. Other Budget announcements are expected to include: . The Chancellor is expected to say: ‘The critical choice facing the country now is this: do we return to the chaos of the past? Or do we say to the British people, let’s

Summary: George Osborne will use his last Budget to unveil new digital tax accounts . Self-assessment forms will change and work like online bank accounts . Officials say it will tax returns from average 40 minutes to just 10 minutes . Accounts will allow tax to be paid at any time simplify business payments . Other budget announcements to include a hike in income tax threshold . Also cut in lifetime pension allowance and a review of business rates .

A review of business rates to boost small businesses and high streets . Measures to create a ‘northern powerhouse’, with high-speed rail links between northern cities . An accelerated sale of tens of billions of pounds worth of mortgages and loans taken on by taxpayers during the financial crisis.


Gone: Barway Edwin Collins, 10, went missing from his Crystal, Minneapolis, apartment building last Wednesday after school . The father of missing Minnesota fourth-grader Barway Collins took out a $30,000 life insurance in his son's name before the boy vanished nearly two weeks ago, it emerged today. Barway Collins 10, was last seen after school March 18 near his apartment complex in Crystal. Police said they were working to find the boy and were checking flights to see whether he might have been sent overseas to his mother, believed to be in Liberia. Last week, Police Chief Stephanie Revering named Barway's father, Pierre Collins, a suspect in the child's disappearance, saying the man who was seen weeping at a vigil has not been entirely honest with investigators. Mr Collins has stopped talking to the press about his son's suspected abduction amid mounting suspicions concerning his alleged involvement in the case. Fox 9 reported Tuesday that according to sources, Mr Collins, 33, took out a life insurance policy in Barway's name totaling $30,000 not long before the child went missing. Police said the father failed a lie-detector test last week, but he has not been arrested or charged with any crime as of Tuesday morning. Pastor Harding Smith, who has been acting as the family's spokesperson, said Collins has told him he had nothing to do with his son's abduction. In a recent interview with CNN's Nancy Grace, Collins said he last saw Barway as he was getting ready for school on the morning of March 18.

Police have released a video of Barway riding a bus after school. In the video, the boy said 'there's my dad' and 'there's my uncle.' 'The father and the party described as an ‘uncle’ are likely the last known people to have seen Barway,' Revering said, as reported by the Star-Tribune. 'Unfortunately, we have reason to believe that Barway’s father has not been completely truthful with us.' Addressing the footage on the bus, Pierre Collins explained to Nancy Grace that in the Liberian community, children commonly refer to adults as 'uncle' or 'auntie.' When pressed by Grace about the failed polygraph test, Collins explained that he was 'very emotional' during the test. 'I wasn't...myself when I took the polygraph,' he said. 'There's my dad': The footage in question (pictured) also has audio and, police say, as the bus pulled up to Barway's building he pointed out his father and an uncle. Previously, police had been searching for anyone who might have seen Barway at that point, the moment of his disappearance . Emotional?

Summary: Barway Edwin Collins, 10, went missing from his Crystal, Minneapolis, apartment building March 18 after school . After his father denied knowing his son's whereabouts, CCTV emerged of Barway shouting 'There's my dad' from the bus where he was last seen . Pierre Collins, 33, failed a lie-detector test last week, and it emerged this week that he had taken out a life insurance policy in Barway's name .

Lynne Hughes, 33, suffers the rare sleep disorders narcolepsy and cataplexy. She falls asleep suddenly up to six times a day often collapses in the street . Waking from her sleep-walking state, Lynne Hughes was horrified to discover she had punched her husband in the face, breaking his nose. But the mother-of-two's outburst was not intentional or malicious. The 33-year-old is a diagnosed narcoleptic, and falls asleep without warning up to six times a day. She has woken to find she has sprayed Mr Muscle cleaning products on vegetables while cooking dinner and has come round to find she's made herself a sandwich. But for Mrs Hughes, who also suffers the related sleep disorder cataplexy, her illness has a serious side. Cataplexy causes a sufferer's muscles to completely relax, rendering a person unable to move, while remaining fully conscious. And twice while lying paralysed and helpless in a cataleptic state the street, she has been targeted by heartless thieves. Although she couldn't move, the 33-year-old felt hands raiding her pockets, removing her bank cards and mobile phone, while they pretended to help her. The conditions leave her prone to acting out her dreams as she sleep walks around the family's home in Mold, Flintshire. The bath has been removed, to prevent Mrs Hughes falling asleep in it, and she has stopped using a kettle. She said her 'life-changing' sleep episodes are often triggered by laughing or crying. She no longer goes out alone and never carries more than a few pounds in cash in her bag. She said: 'It's changed my life completely. 'On a couple of occasions I've been robbed. Remember, I can't move but I am still aware so I can feel their hands going into my pockets. 'It happened in Chester in about 2008 and then in Connah's Quay three years ago. 'It was people pretending to help me but really they took my bank cards and phone out of my pockets. 'I knew what was happening but couldn't do anything as the more stressed I got the worse the cataplexy got. 'I do not go out alone now.' Narcolepsy, which affects about 30,000 people in the UK, can cause excessive sleepiness and affects the brain's ability to regulate the normal sleep-wake cycle. Cataplexy is a co-existing condition which brings on episodes of muscular weakness triggered by strong emotions such as laughter, anger and surprise. In Mrs Hughes' case it causes her to regularly collapse, often after she has been laughing or crying. 'I've had to have my bath taken out because I wasn't safe to use it. I can't use a kettle either,' she said. 'My husband makes me a drink and puts it in the thermos flask.' Mrs Hughes has had many bad experiences in public when she collapses in uncomfortable or unfortunate places. She said: 'People will step over me if I fall down in Tesco. The mother-of-two, has woken from an episode to find she has punched her husband Richard, pictured, in the face, breaking his nose. And the 33-year-old has also sprayed Mr Muscle

Jorge Pereira won the open savoury amateur prize with his empanada Chilena, a traditional Chilean pasty made with beef, onion, hard-boiled egg, olives and sultanas. Mr Pereira decided to take part in the contest while on a two-month visit to the UK to see his wife's family. Wife Gail, who spoke on the non-English-speaking cook's behalf, said: 'Jorge feels very excited and happy to be so far from my country to win such a prize.

'I did it to please John. He said to me 'You make a good pasty, mother, why don't you enter?' 'I've been making them for years and years. I started when I was eight years old. 'Mother used to make pasties so I used to roll the pastry out on a bench. You need to get really good meat to make a pasty and the seasoning is important.'

It was a case that held the nation spellbound almost 40 years ago, puzzling policemen, psychics and even occult experts. Now, a three-part drama series will recreate the strange goings-on at a London council house where a family were terrified by a demonic spirit. Janet Hodgson, who was 11 at the time, was convinced she was possessed by a former resident of the house in Green Street, Enfield, a grumpy old man called Bill Wilkins who had died there many years before. A three-part drama on Sky Living called the Enfield Haunting will recreate the strange goings on at a house . Timothy Spall, who plays investigator Maurice Grossel, comforts Eleanor Worthington Cox, who plays Janet Hodgson, the 11-year-old girl who was convinced she was possessed by a former resident of the house . The council house (on the right side of this semi-detached) in Green Street, Enfield, was said to be haunted . Speaking through her, an eerie voice - which can still be heard on audio tapes today - said: 'Just before I died, I went blind and then I had a hemorrhage and I fell asleep and I died in the chair in the corner downstairs.' The case of the Enfield Poltergeist also involved levitation, furniture being moved through the air, and flying objects swirling towards witnesses. There were cold breezes, physical assaults, graffiti, water appearing on the floor, and even claims of matches spontaneously bursting into flame. The events - which began in August 1977 - unfolded for more than a year behind the door of the ordinary-looking semi-detached council house. The family became so scared they slept in the same room, with the light on. Most of the activity centred on 11-year-old Janet. She went into violent trances, which were awful to behold. On one occasion, the iron fireplace in her bedroom was ripped from the wall by unseen forces. Family members also claim to have seen her levitating - floating across the room. She said: 'I felt used by a force that nobody understands. I really don't like to think about it too much. I'm not sure the poltergeist was truly 'evil'. It was almost as if it wanted to be part of our family. 'It didn't want to hurt us. It had died there and wanted to be at rest. The only way it could communicate was through me and my sister. 'It was an extraordinary case. It's one of the most recognised cases of paranormal activity in the world. But, for me, it was quite daunting. 'I think it really left its mark, the activities, the newspaper attention, the different people in and out of the house. It wasn't a normal childhood.' Most of the activity centred on 11-year-old Janet Hodgson, who was apparently seen floating across the room . The disturbing events which included moving furniture unfolded for more than a year behind the door of the ordinary-looking semi-detached council house on a suburban street . Some of the events were captured on camera, and the images are disturbing. One shows Janet apparently

Celtic midfielder Kris Commons believes they can go from strength to strength after winning the first trophy of Ronny Deila's reign. Deila is on course to become only the third Celtic manager to win a domestic treble, after Jock Stein and Martin O'Neill, following his side's League Cup triumph on Sunday. That added a new medal to Commons' cabinet but the playmaker is not about to rest on his laurels ahead of the William Hill Scottish Cup quarter-final replay against Dundee United at Parkhead. Kris Commons put Celtic ahead on the half hour mark with his 11th goal of the season in all competitions . Commons is congratulated by his team-mates having put the Scottish Premiership leaders in front . Commons says his side will continue to grow under Ronny Deila after winning their first trophy . The 31-year-old appeared likely to leave the club in January as former Celtic manager Neil Lennon targeted him for a move to Bolton but the former Scotland international went on to sign a two-year contract before netting the opener against United at Hampden on Sunday. And he is fully embracing Deila's quest to improve his team and players. Commons said: 'I think we're a better team than last season. On paper we set really high standards with the clean sheet record, goals scored and points tally. I think this time last season the league was done and dusted. It's hard to say we are a better team but I feel like we are in a better place. 'We've not reached the top. It's not like we've conquered it and that's where we need to be, we will still be looking to make improvements and progress year-in, year-out. 'If we do win the treble we will be looking to do it again next year and the year after then add Champions League group stages and try to get last-16. Celtic boss Deila enters the dressing room with a smile on his face after winning the Scottish League Cup . Deila says he is finally beginning to enjoy life at Celtic after a slow start, now he has lifted his first trophy . 'You've got to keep striving for greatness. If you think you've reached the top and stand still that's when you start going backwards.' Commons, who admitted his own season had been a 'rollercoaster', added: 'When a new manager comes in, it's very difficult to make it seamless. He is a different nationality, we had a few new players and we weren't achieving the style of play he wanted. Changes take time and now we are seeing the benefits.' Commons' words were music to Deila's ears as the Norwegian continues to wipe out early impressions of him following Celtic's poor Champions League qualifying campaign. 'I think we have progressed a lot in the things I want to bring into the culture and how we want to work,' he said. 'I'm starting to really enjoy it. In the beginning it's enough to be there, you don't know where to start. Now it's settled, everybody knows their

Summary: Kris Commons scored first goal in the League Cup final . Celtic on course for a domestic treble after slow start under Ronny Deila . Commons and Deila both confident that team are making good progress .


He has been embroiled in a well-documented feud with Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana after the former called babies born through in-vitro fertilization (IVF) 'synthetic'. But Sir Elton John - whose two sons Zachary, four, and Elijah, two, were conceived with the help of a surrogate and artificial insemination - appeared to offer an olive branch when he declared his love for the fashion duo in Las Vegas on Wednesday night.

The president of the University of Oklahoma has condemned the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity for the racist chant that emerged this weekend and vowed to discipline the students involved - but stopped short of saying they would be expelled from the university. David Boren expressed outrage today at the racist song by members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and revealed that school officials have already identified at least two of the students seen singing 'There will never be a n***** in SAE' on a party bus over the weekend. 'We will look at all possible punishment and what is available to us under the law. Under the civil rights law it may be possible for us to take action against certain individuals,' he said. 'Would I be happy if they left voluntarily? Yes. We don't have room for racists and bigots here.' He added: 'I don't want them here. I'll pay the bus fare to get them out. They're not coming back.'

Earlier on Monday, Boren gave the fraternity members less than 24 hours to vacate their house on campus.

An Escalade SUV was among several vehicles - including two U-Haul trucks that were parked outside the fraternity on Monday morning, according to KOCO-TV.

They might not have had quite as rapturous a reception as 'WillKat' but 'ChaCam', as the local media has christened them, certainly know how to put on a show. So far, the star is proving to be Camilla who showed off her increasingly confident sense of style during a reception at the British ambassador's residence in Washington D.C last night. Resplendent in a shimmering silk gown by Bruce Oldfield and her trademark pearl choker, the Duchess of Cornwall cut a glamorous figure as she arrived on the arm of Prince Charles. Scroll down for video . Glamorous: Camilla in a chic Bruce Oldfield gown during a banquet on the second day of the US tour . Looking good: The Duchess has also used the occasion to show off a chic new haircut . But Camilla isn't the only one who has proved a hit with the US public, with Charles also pulling in the crowds - most obviously during a whistle-stop tour of Washington's many monuments yesterday. Arriving to cries of 'Welcome your Highness!', a clearly delighted Prince of Wales happily stopped to chat to schoolchildren and their parents outside the Lincoln Memorial. Not everyone knew who they were however, with one little boy asking his mother: 'Who is that man?' 'The future King of England,' she replied as she swiftly snapped a photo on her iPhone. Charles and Camilla are now on the third day of a four-day state visit that has been described as 'your grandfather's royal visit' by the local Washington Post. New name: The royal couple have been re-christened 'ChaCam' by the local media . Warm welcome: Both Charles and Camilla have enjoyed a rapturous reception from local people . In a piece headlined, 'Camilla and Charles don’t get the WillKat [William and Kate] treatment, but it’s still royal', the paper went on to contrast the 'high-volume excitement worthy of boy-band' that greeted the Duke of Cambridge with the quieter one offered to his father. But while Charles and Camilla aren't getting the rockstar reaction enjoyed by the younger generation, the visit is seen as 'crucial' - for Charles at least. That echoes comments made by British Ambassador to the US Sir Peter Westmacott who described the tour as being a fillip for Anglo-American relations. 'I am so pleased to welcome The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall back to the United States, ten years after their first official visit together,' he said ahead of the royal couple's arrival on Tuesday night. Looking around: Charles and Camilla spent their first full day touring Washington D.C . Star of the show: Camilla, who is clearly been enjoying the tour, has enjoyed a particularly warm welcome . Smile! Yesterday, the Duchess obligingly posed for a selfie outside the Lincoln Memorial . Cheering for Charles: Local teenagers wait for the royal couple to emerge from the Lincoln Memorial . 'Their trip to Washington and Kentucky will showcase the best of the transatlantic relationship - promoting democratic values, combating climate change, preserving the natural environment, creating opportunities for the next

Keith Fraser, who is standing in Hackney North and Stoke Newington, said British teenagers who want to join ISIS should be given free seats on flights . British teenagers who want to join ISIS should be given free seats on flights to Iraq and Syria, a Ukip candidate has said. Keith Fraser, who is standing in Hackney North and Stoke Newington, said money should be spent on chartering planes rather than trying to stop them fighting with extremists. Around 600 Britons are believed to have fled to Syria including a group of three schoolgirls from east London. Mr Fraser said: ‘We have many young people wanting to join up with their “brothers” in IS. Let them bloody well go. ‘Why are we concerned in wasting our time and resources in assuring these people don’t go to join? ‘Instead let’s find out who wants to go and we can then spend public money in chartering our own planes to take them there. We don’t need these traitors in our beloved country. ‘They can hand over their British passports on the way out and say don’t ever try and come back.’ The Ukip candidate, who currently works as a chartered surveyor, said that the extremists ‘have one aim to convert or murder all “non-believers”.’ He added: ‘They don’t like our freedom, want to destroy our way of life and will not rest until they fly their flag over our shores.’ Mr Fraser’s comments came as Nigel Farage revealed the party’s pledge card, which includes saying no to the EU, controlling the country's borders, an extra £3 billion for the NHS, cuts in foreign aid spending and no tax on the minimum wage. At the launch in Westminster, the Ukip leader said it is now ‘a party of what modern Britain is’. He said: ‘The thing about Ukip is we have become the most eclectic, diverse political party. ‘We've got all shades of opinion, we've got people from the left, people from the right, people of all ages, all classes, all races.’ Although the posters include a pledge to control the UK's borders, the word ‘immigration’ does not feature. Around 600 Britons are believed to have fled to Syria including a group of three schoolgirls from east London . The leader was joined by Ukip MP Mark Reckless and other senior Ukip figures, but Clacton MP Douglas Carswell did not attend the event as he was campaigning in his constituency. Mr Farage said a strong showing for Ukip at May's election could boost the calls for electoral reform, which in turn could make his eurosceptics a ‘big party in British politics’. He said: ‘I've always thought there should be election reform but that is frankly irrelevant in the next 38 days. ‘Yes, this is very hard for us because you find good Ukip support in Labour constituencies and in Conservative constituencies. ‘Yes, that's a challenge but what we have to do is to get over the line in enough seats in this General Election campaign and then you'll see how many seats we've actually come

Summary: Keith Fraser is standing for Ukip in Hackney North and Stoke Newington . He said money should not be spent stopping fanatic fighting with ISIS . The Ukip candidate said the Government should 'let them bloody well go'


A Labour rising star who claims to support women’s rights has two wives and asked an imam to sign off a supposed Islamic divorce, it was claimed last night. Councillor Waseem Zaffar has said he is committed to fighting gender inequality and declared his opposition to sharia law in Britain. But the politician and magistrate – once pictured with Labour leader Ed Miliband – married teacher Ayesha Imdad last year without having formally divorced his first wife. Lavish ceremony: Labour rising star Waseem Zaffar and his second wife Ayesha at their wedding last year . Instead, Zaffar – who received an MBE in 2012 for his charity work – sent Faraz Begum an Islamic divorce document in the post after walking out on her in 2010. He obtained the document from an imam who operates from a terraced house calling itself Raza mosque in Aston, Birmingham. This means that under English law at least, Zaffar, 33, is still married to Miss Begum, whom he wed in Pakistan in 2003. Meanwhile, in April last year, Zaffar married his second wife – who is now seven months pregnant – in a lavish Islamic ceremony. Among the hundreds of guests was shadow minister Jack Dromey, the husband of deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman. MPs and campaigners last night called for Zaffar’s suspension from the Labour Party. Connected: Councillor Waseem Zaffar pictured rubbing shoulders with Opposition leader Ed Miliband . Honored: Zaffar is awarded his MBE by Prince Charles in recognition of his charity work. The councillor is not formally divorced from his first wife, despite marrying his second last year . Glad-handing: Zaffar with Labour shadow chancellor Ed Balls. Tory MP Dominic Raab has called for the party to investigate the magistrate and councillor . Some followers of sharia law believe divorces can be obtained by men without the knowledge or consent of their wives. A man simply states ‘talaq’ – meaning ‘I divorce thee’ – three times and it is granted. He is not required to give any kind of financial settlement to his wife. However, this method is widely frowned upon and most imams require both parties to be present and commit to a three-month attempt at reconciliation before they grant a divorce. Miss Begum, 36, a British national who is also Zaffar’s first cousin, received the divorce without warning, a friend said. If British citizens marry abroad, it is automatically recognised in English law. For this reason, for the marriage to end, the couple must obtain a divorce recognised by English courts. Miss Begum is currently seeking such a divorce, understood to be in the process of going through the courts. The master’s student said she was unable to comment due to the ongoing legal proceedings. In 2012, Zaffar, councillor for the Lozells and East Handsworth ward in Birmingham, declared on his website: ‘I have never and will never support sharia law in this country.’ Power and influence: Zaffar with Labour grandee Peter Mandelson. MPs and campaigners last night called for his suspension from the party . At the seat of power:

Summary: Waseem Zaffar, 33, says he is committed to fighting gender inequality . Councillor married teacher Ayesha Imdad last year in lavish ceremony . But had not formally divorced Faraz Begum after walking out on her in 2010 . He only sent her an Islamic divorce document to end seven-year marriage . This means that under English law Zaffar is still married to his first wife .


England head coach Stuart Lancaster believes the 'fantastic potential' of Henry Slade will drive his challenge for a place in the World Cup squad. Slade has been called up as midfield cover ahead of Saturday's RBS 6 Nations clash with Scotland after centre Brad Barritt was ruled out of the remaining two rounds by a sprained ankle. Only a late flurry of injuries would see Slade plunged into action in the Calcutta Cup match at Twickenham, but that has not stopped Lancaster looking to the looming World Cup and its warm-up games as the right time to blood the 21-year-old centre and fly-half. Henry Slade has impressed Stuart Lancaster, who thinks he will compete for a World Cup place . England coach Lancaster has been looking for the right time to blood the 21-year-old Slade . Salde (left) pictured in domestic action for his club side Exeter Chiefs against Bath rugby . Superb game management, accomplished kicking skills and solid defence have established Slade's reputation in the Aviva Premiership with the Exeter Chiefs and the wait for full international honours may soon be over. 'The more I see him, the more I think he's got fantastic potential. I've always known it having seen him come through the age-group teams,' Lancaster said. 'We have a lot of competition at fly-half, but he's also adept in the centres. That's one of the options I'd like to look at for him in the future. For definite he'll be a part of our World Cup camp. 'In your World Cup squad of 31, you absolutely have to have players who can play in different positions like Henry. You need that flexibility, it's crucial. 'We will have to generate training time before we throw him into a game at international level. Lancaster believes Henry's versatility could be crucial during the World Cup . Lancaster will start his camp for the World Cup, held in England, on June 21 . 'In the very short term we have a chance to do that on Tuesday and Wednesday, which we've done anyway when he's been in camp. 'This Six Nations programme is going to finish in 12 day's time and then our World Cup camp starts on June 21. Then we've got all of June, July and August until we have to make a decision. 'Someone like Henry can be reasonably confident of being there or thereabouts.'

Summary: Exeter Chief's Henry Slade, 21, can play as a centre and a fly-half . Stuart Lancaster lauded Slade for his flexibility and attributes . He has been called up as cover for England against Scotland .


Hidden patterns of climate change have been revealed by scientists using a method more normally used to diagnose heart disease. The scientists used multiscale entropy analysis to measure the 'pulse of the planet' in an attempt to look for subtle changes in temperature on Earth. The technique is normally used by surgeons to detect irregular heartbeats in large amounts of data from echocardiograms. The graph above shows how the entropy - or predictability - of Central European air temperatures have become less predictable over time scales of between 12 months and 70 months. The black lines shows the temperature predictability between 1850 to 1960 while the red lines shows the entropy between 1961 and 2014 . Researchers at the University of Leicester, however, have used it to look at the variability in the temperature in Europe. They found that the climate appears to have become less regular recently when temperatures are examined on times-scales of longer than 12 months. The chances of heatwaves in Europe have dramatically increased in the past decade as a result of warming temperatures, experts have said. Extremely warm summers that would be expected to occur twice a century in the early 2000s are now likely to happen twice a decade, a study from the Met Office found last year. The chances of extreme heatwaves, such as the one in 2003 which led to tens of thousands of deaths across Europe, have also increased tenfold, from a one in 1,000 year event to around one in a century. By the 2040s, such extreme heatwaves could happen every other year if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, according to the research published in the journal Nature Climate Change. The study is an update of research carried out in 2004 into the heatwave the previous year. It found the likelihood of it happening again has at least doubled as a result of human activity, such as burning fossil fuels. Despite a slowdown in rising global temperatures since the late 1990s, the new study found summer temperatures in central and Mediterranean Europe affected by the 2003 heatwave had increased by 0.81°C (1.4°F) between the 1990s and the period 2004 to 2013. They say this may be a sign that the regional temperatures are being influenced by more complex feedback systems and may explain why extreme weather events such as heatwaves, floods and cold spells are happening more irregularly. Professor Heiko Balzter, a climate scientist at the University of Leicester who led the study, said: 'I had the idea to apply a new method to the climate data. 'It has been applied a lot to diagnose heart disease, because it is good at detecting regularity and randomness in time-series data. 'We are literally taking the pulse of the planet. 'Interestingly, the changes we found only operated on time-scales longer than about a year. 'On these time-scales the climate seems to have become less predictable.' Multiscale entropy analysis works by searching data for small patterns of information that appear repeatedly. It many of these chunks are found then the data has low entropy

Summary: Multiscale entropy analysis is normally used to diagnose heart disease . Scientists at the University of Leicester scientists applied it to climate data . They examined temperature records across Europe for the past 165 years . They found patterns of temperature changes that occur every 12-70 months . However, they found temperatures have become less predictable recently .

Gupta initially confessed to the crime saying he did it because Waugh was cheating with his girlfriend. But in court, Gupta's attorneys claimed he only made the confession as he was protecting his now ex-girlfriend Taylor Gould, who had in fact killed Waugh, reports the Washington Post. 'This was an act of violent, crazy rage,' one his attorneys, Jennifer Page, told jurors, later adding, 'You bet she was capable.' Gould who has not been charged with anything and is not on trial, testified, telling jurors that she'd been too drunk on the night in question to remember what happened. 'I had no reason to hurt anyone,' she said. My Fox DC reports Gupta took the stand during the trial in his own defense. In testimony he claimed he went to the aid of Waugh and was trying to stop the bleeding. In a 911 call placed by the girlfriend, he is heard in the background saying "Come on Mark." Gupta, his 23-year-old girlfriend, Waugh and one other had spent the night celebrating Gupta's birthday. Gould consumed at least six drinks, including red wine, a whiskey-and-cranberry, an Irish coffee, and a margarita. Dark turn: The group spent a Saturday night out celebrating Gupta's birthday. The first three later returned to the girlfriend's apartment where they continued to drink shots .

Taylor Gould says she was too drunk the night of the murder to remember anything clearly . Neighbors later reported hearing loud noises coming from the apartment, like people were moving furniture. Shortly before 3:30am Sunday morning, police responded to a 911 call made by the girlfriend. When they arrived on the scene, police reported hearing movements and yelling inside but no one answered the door when they knocked. Police opened the locked door and Gould approached the officers with blood on her and said: 'I don't know what happened. Can you tell me?' Officers noted seeing blood on the walls of the kitchen and living area and Gupta lying on the floor, covered in blood. They asked Gupta if he was hurt but he said: 'I don't think so'.

A 20-year-old mother who had allegedly decapitated her three-month-old baby girl was suffering from post-partum depression and 'speaking of demons', family members said on Tuesday. Deasia Watkins, from College Hill, Ohio, was charged with aggravated murder after she was found inside a home with her dead baby lying on a counter early on Monday. Police said baby Janiyah was killed by 'homicidal violence', but sources told Fox19 that the child's head had been severed. The coroner reportedly said on Tuesday that the baby suffered multiple stab wounds to the face and a fractured right arm. This is the poor three-month-old baby girl Janiyah who was decapitated, allegedly by her mother Deasia Watkins on Monday . Family members found the baby dead on Watkins' counter. Authorities say the child died from 'homicidal violence' Deasia Watkins, 20, allegedly severed her three-month-old baby girl's head on Monday . The young woman's aunt Caretha White told Fox that Hamilton County family services had failed the child by allowing Deasia, who suffered from depression following the baby's birth in December, to care for her. Hamilton County Job and Family Services (HCJFS) declined to comment when contacted by Daily Mail Online. Ms White also said that another relative had been given temporary custody of the child and Miss Watkins was told to keep away. A cousin told Cincinnati.com that he had spoken to the child's father, who claimed the new mom had been 'acting crazy... speaking of demons'. A juvenile court judge ordered HCJFS to take custody of the baby on March 6 after the young mom was hospitalized for psychiatric problems. On January 25, police reportedly went to her apartment to find the baby crying and the 20-year-old screaming. Officers allegedly that Watkins smelled of marijuana and refused to hand over the baby. When they took her daughter she 'passed out with her eyes open', according to Cincinnati.com. A group of children raised the alarm around 6am on Monday after finding Watkins with the baby's body inside the home, WKRC reported. Her relationship to the children is not known. Police had cordoned off the home with crime scene tape on Monday. 'She must have been out of her mind. I heard she cut the baby's head off,' neighbor Jimmie Graham said on Monday.

The husband of a critically ill grandmother who died after being plunged into the icy North Sea during a bungled cruise ship rescue has hit out at the justice system after he was paid less than £13,000 compensation. Janet Richardson, 72, was tipped into the water wearing just her nightdress as crew members tried to transfer her to a lifeboat on a stretcher during the rescue. Passengers shrieked in horror as the pensioner fought to stay afloat for up to eight minutes without a life jacket as crew tried to save her from the icy 2C waters. Janet Richardson, 72, (picture left with husband George) died three weeks after being accidentally tipped into icy water as crew members onboard a cruise ship tried to transfer her to a lifeboat after she was taken ill . Passengers shrieked in horror as the pensioner fought to stay afloat for eight minutes without a life jacket . She was eventually pulled to safety using a long pole but died in hospital three weeks later from complications. Now widower George, 82, has condemned the justice system after he was paid just £12,980 plus £7,000 other payments for the tragedy. And he says he has never received an apology from the cruise operators for the catastophe which was a ‘significant contributory factor' in the death of his wife. Mr Richardson, a retired farmer, said: ‘It’s a disgrace I have never received any apology. 'The whole so-called rescue was a fiasco. 'They should never have used a lifeboat in those conditions, instead they should have used a helicopter, even experts agree. ‘And then not to tether the boats together in those seas was simply ridiculous. I just can’t believe they didn’t take simple precautions.’ Mrs Richardson (pictured in water) was eventually pulled to safety but died in hospital three weeks later . Mr Richardson, of Penrith, who was married to Janet for 30 years, said: ‘I received less than £20,000 in total because my wife had pre-existing health problems but the trauma of being plunged into icy water definitely hastened her death. ‘Justice has not been served. The penalty for those that did this is tiny compared to the nightmare I have suffered.’ Mrs Richardson and her husband had been on a cruise to see the Northern Lights on board Ocean Countess when she suffered a gastro-intestinal haemorrhage in March 2011. The liner was off the coast of Norway and the captain decided she was so ill she would need to be transferred to a hospital immediately. Crew members strapped her to a stretcher with a blanket and tried to pass her to a team on a lifeboat which had pulled up beside the ship. But the two boats, which were travelling side-by-side at 10 knots, were not tethered together and began to move apart at the crucial moment, plunging Mrs Richardson into the sea. One witness, Colin Prescott, told a later inquest: ‘I saw the stretcher hit the side of the vessel. Mrs Richardson went one way and the stretcher went the other.’ Mrs Richardson was treated

Not to be outdone by Tom Brady leaping off a cliff, adrenaline junkie DeAndre Levy can add wing-walking to his nerve-jangling offseason exploits. Last year the Detroit Lions linebacker hiked in Macchu Picchu for five days, swam with sharks in South Africa and boarded down - and crashed on - an active Nicaraguan volcano. But the 28-year-old hit new heights in a biplane, leaving the cockpit to clamber along the aircraft before the pilot spins the plane 180 degrees at approximately 3,500 feet. Levy was one of the success stories of last season and contributed to the Lions' fearsome defense . Not satisifed with that, the daredevil displayed pictures on his Instagram account of him sat on top of the plane in a harness. Levy has documented his adventurous experiences on Instagram, saying: 'Not ready for the offseason yet, but last year's included riding horses in exotic locales, hiking and sleeping atop a dark cold mountain for two nights, volcanic craters, sledding down an active volcano, cockfights, and saving a woman from a rushing river,' three months ago. And the thrill-seeker can now add walking in the Troposphere to his antics. After last year's win over Atlanta, Levy and the Lions will once again travel to England ahead of their game with the Chiefs at Wembley on November 1.

Summary: Levy headed to Sequim, Washington, to undergo a wing-walking class . The daredevil took to the skies on a biplane and is shown walking along the wing before being spun around in the air . Levy also posted pictures on his Instagram account of him say on top of the plane . He led linebackers with six interceptions in 2013 and led the NFL last season with 117 solo tackles . His current deal runs out at the end of the season and signing him up will be a priority to the Lions front office .


Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists he is 'relaxed' about Raheem Sterling's contract situation despite claims that the latest discussions have failed to find a solution to a long-running impasse. The club have tabled what a couple of weeks ago Rodgers described as an 'incredible' offer - reported to be in the region of £100,000 a week. A few weeks before that the Reds boss had suggested an agreement was imminent but latest reports suggest there has been no movement in negotiations. Raheem Sterling has still not penned a new deal despite being reportedly offered £100,000-a-week . Reds manager Brendan Rodgers (left) insists he is 'relaxed' about the situation . Premier League 2014-15 . Appearances 25 . Goals 6 . Assists 8 . Sterling has been locked in talks over a contract extension for several months but the 20-year-old has told club officials he wants to focus on the remainder of Liverpool’s Premier League season and on winning the FA Cup. Given Sterling’s status as one of Europe’s top emerging talents, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are watching on closely. Likewise, Premier League clubs will also enter the race if it becomes clear Sterling is available. Nonetheless, Rodgers claims he is not overly concerned by the current situation. 'There is nothing new to report on it. I am quite relaxed about Raheem's situation,' he said. 'He is not going anywhere in a hurry - he has still got this season and another couple of years to go on his contract. 'I think it is quite obvious when you look at Raheem's situation anyone with Raheem's best interests would see Liverpool as the best option for his career. The Jamaican-born winger has scored 10 goals in all competitions this season . Rodgers had previously claimed that the club would not be held to ransom by the player's agent . 'He turned 20 in December and he has made 114 appearances, which is a remarkable amount at a club of this size to be given that opportunity. 'He has made it clear himself that he loves being here and I think he was quoted as saying this is the best place for any young player to develop, so that makes me quite relaxed. 'I am sure the club and his representatives will find the solution for that.' Rodgers has previously suggested the club would not be held to ransom by Sterling's agent and said the contract offer they had made was more than fair for a player of the England international's age and potential. Asked why he thought a deal had not been agreed yet, the manager said: 'I'm not sure. It is not in my area really. 'I speak to Raheem about his football and concentrate on his football and see what goes from there.' Sterling and Jordan Henderson, who has been captaining the side in the absence of the injured Steven Gerrard, are the two players whose contracts appear to be taking most of the headlines.

Kevin Pietersen has agreed a release from his Indian Premier League contract as he seeks a new deal with Surrey to try to reignite his hopes of an England recall. Pietersen was axed by England in February 2014 after their whitewash in Australia, but is hoping for a still unlikely international return in time for this summer's Ashes rematch. He confirmed, on his website kevinpietersen.com that he has taken another key step to that end by agreeing a release from the majority of his contract with the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Kevin Pietersen's plans to return to county cricket with Surrey have moved a significant step closer . Pietersen said: 'I'm hugely grateful for all the support and understanding I've received from everyone at the Sunrisers and the IPL. 'My focus is now very much on the upcoming season in England, and I'm absolutely determined to score as many runs as possible.' Surrey de-registered Pietersen at the end of last season but have nonetheless long been front-runners to re-sign him. His availability for all formats, as soon as possible, has appeared a starting point for that to happen - and Pietersen's presence in early season, rather than spending six weeks at the IPL, is therefore a key development. Pietersen plays a shot on the second day of the Ashes series between England and Australia last year . New England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves this month revived the record-breaking 34-year-old batsman's hopes of a return to the fold, contrary to the public remarks by anyone else associated with the governing body. But a pre-requisite from Graves was that Pietersen must first of all find a way back into county cricket - and then, of course, start scoring runs again. Pietersen may still be recalled by the Sunrisers for just a one-week period, should they qualify for the IPL knockout stages between May 19 and May 24. That, however, ought not to be an insurmountable problem for any county interested in securing his services. Pietersen bats for Melbourne Stars during the Big Bash League semi-final match against the Perth Scorchers . He added: 'I've never made any secret of my overwhelming desire to once again represent England, and I'm going to do everything in my power to earn a recall to the international set-up. 'To once again put on that England shirt would be a privilege and an honour, but now I have to focus on performing domestically and give myself the best possible chance of meriting selection.' A statement on his website spelled out Pietersen's next move - without specifying Surrey as his immediate destination - and that he has his heart set on an England return in time for the start of the Ashes in July. Pietersen was involved in a high-profile dispute with England coach Peter Moores back in 2009 . It read: 'The four-time Ashes winner, who is also England's highest ever runscorer in all formats, will ... join a domestic county with the aim of earning a place in the England squad for the upcoming Ashes series.' Pietersen

Swansea manager Garry Monk believes the only way is up for Tim Sherwood as the two coaching course mates prepare to cross tactical swords at Villa Park. Monk and new Aston Villa boss Sherwood got to know each other on the same Football Association of Wales Pro-Licence coaching course but the practical takes precedence over the theory on Saturday with three Barclays Premier League points at stake. Sherwood got his break in management at Tottenham first - a position he was unlucky to lose according to Monk - and the former England midfielder has revived Villa's fortunes with three successive wins taking them away from the Premier League danger zone and into the semi-final of the FA Cup. Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood is preparing for the visit of former coaching coursemate Garry Monk . Sherwood has enjoyed a great start to life since taking over the Villa Park managerial hot-seat . 'He's gone in there and lifted the confidence in the group,' Monk said at his pre-match press conference. 'You need results to do that but they've got very good players there who obviously weren't playing to their full potential before Tim took over. 'But he's had an instant impact. He's a very honest guy, black and white, and that comes across in his interviews and the way he approaches the game. Garry Monk believes himself and Sherwood are very much their own men despite their similarities . 'They're fighting for their lives and we know this game is vitally important to them but it is the same for us. 'We've got our own agenda, we want to achieve our best total of 47 points, and I think you've seen our attitude and focus in our recent games against Tottenham and Liverpool. 'The actual performances deserved more than they got and we need to make sure we replicate that to get the points at Villa.' The pair have both been labelled with the tag of bright, young British managers, even if the 46-year-old Sherwood is actually 10 years older than Monk who celebrated his first anniversary as Swansea boss last month. Swansea manager Monk observes his players during the training session at the Fairwood Training Centre . But Monk says while certain similarities exist between them they are very much their own men with notable differences. 'When Tim came in at Spurs he was already within the club at that time, albeit within a different coaching role,' Monk said. 'I came from a playing background into it and I wouldn't say we were similar managers with the same approach or anything like that. 'But we've got the same desire, commitment and principles and are clear in what we want. 'I'm on the same coaching course as Tim and his views on football are very interesting. Monk believes the former Tottenham Hotspur boss will certainly take Aston Villa forward in the future . 'He's had a fantastic start and I am sure he will take Aston Villa forward after being unlucky at Tottenham. 'He has been given his chance and taken the

World leaders joined thousands of people to pay their final respects to Singapore's 'founding father' Lee Kuan Yew. Crowds of Singaporeans waving flags braved heavy rain and lined the streets to catch a last glimpse of Lee as his coffin was taken on a 15km (nine mile) procession on top of a gun carriage. Leader of the House of Commons William Hague, former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attended the three-hour state funeral alongside 2,200 other people including children and royalty. Scroll down for video . World leaders joined thousands of people to pay their final respects to Singapore's 'founding father' Lee Kuan Yew. Above, his casket at the University Cultural Centre . Lee, who died aged 91 on Monday, ruled for for three decades as Singapore's first prime minister. He is credited with transforming the country from a small, colonial British trading port into one of the world's wealthiest city states. His death has prompted an unprecedented show of mourning. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Lee's son, battled tears as he delivered a 40-minute eulogy in English, Malay and Chinese. He said: 'The light that has guided us all these years has been extinguished. 'His was the original Singapore Roar - passionate, formidable and indomitable. 'To those who seek Mr Lee Kuan Yew's monument, Singaporeans can reply proudly: "Look around you."' Former U.S. President Bill Clinton (left) and Leader of the House of Commons William Hague (right) attended the ceremony alongside 2,200 other people . Thousands of people gathered to see a 21-gun salute in the city's business district as the procession passed by . Members of the public saluted the casket, which was covered in a flag, and shouted 'Lee Kuan Yew' Public warning sirens sounded across the country to mark a minute's silence, with buses and trains coming to a halt. Booms from a 21-gun salute reverberated around the city's business district as four F-16 fighter jets from the Black Knights aerobatic team flew overhead in a 'missing man' formation. The salute is normally reserved for sitting heads of state but an exception was made for Lee. Two navy ships near the marina also made an 'L' 'K' 'Y' signal with their flags. Singaporeans, many dressed in the mourning colours of black and white, waited for hours to watch the procession, shouting 'Lee Kuan Yew' as it passed. Others simply wept or threw flowers.

The Bank of England risks being dragged into a criminal investigation into how it propped up ailing lenders during the financial crisis, it emerged last night. The central bank supplied high street lenders with emergency funds in 2007 and 2008 through so-called money-market auctions to stop the banking system freezing up as the credit crunch intensified. But it last year instructed a leading barrister to look into whether any of its staff knew of, or even participated, in attempts to rig the auctions. The Bank of England (pictured) risks being dragged into a criminal investigation into how it propped up ailing lenders during the financial crisis . The Bank has since passed on the results of the inquiry by Lord Grabiner QC to the Serious Fraud Office which is now examining the findings. The SFO said it was ‘investigating material referred to it by the Bank of England concerning liquidity auctions during the financial crisis in 2007 and 2008’. It is thought that the probe could lead to a full-blown criminal inquiry – although it is unclear whether such an investigation would focus on Bank officials or traders outside the central bank. An official criminal investigation would be a blow to the reputation of the Bank following a series of scandals that have rocked the financial sector. Senior Tory MP Andrew Tyrie, who chairs the Treasury committee in the Commons, said the bank was right to refer inquiry to Serious Fraud Office . In a statement last night, the Bank said: ‘Following the confirmation by the SFO that it is investigating material referred to it by the Bank of England, the Bank can now confirm that it commissioned Lord Grabiner QC to conduct an independent inquiry into liquidity auctions during the financial crisis in 2007 and 2008. ‘Following the conclusion of that initial inquiry, the Bank referred the matter to the SFO on 20 November 2014. ‘Given the SFO investigation is ongoing, it is not appropriate for the Bank to provide any additional comment on the matter at this time.’ Senior Tory MP Andrew Tyrie, who chairs the Treasury committee in the Commons, said the central bank was right to refer the findings to the SFO. He added: ‘We must now await the outcome of the SFO’s work. The sooner their findings are published the better.’ The Bank launched the money-market auctions during the financial crisis in an attempt to ensure that high street banks could continue to lend to households, businesses and each other. The investigation into the auctions comes as the central bank faces increased scrutiny over its governance and oversight of the financial system. A separate inquiry by Lord Grabiner into the rigging of the foreign exchange markets cleared Bank officials of any wrongdoing. The Bank revealed on Tuesday it has uncovered 50 instances of market manipulation and that 42 of them have been handed to the Financial Conduct Authority.

Summary: Bank gave high street lenders emergency funds via money-market auctions . Move was to stop banking system freezing up as credit crunch took hold . Barrister probed whether any staff knew or participated in rigging auctions . Findings have now been referred to Serious Fraud Office for examination .


Supermassive black holes at the centre of large galaxies could be powering blasts from deep inside the galaxy's core, astronomers have claimed. The huge outpourings of material are responsible for ejecting enough dust and gas to build more than a thousand stars the size of our sun every year. And these outflows could also remove huge quantities of star-making gas, dictating the size, shape and overall fate of galaxies. Scroll down for video . Astronomers studying the supermassive black hole at the centre of the galaxy IRAS F11119+3257 have found proof that the winds blown by the black hole are sweeping away the host galaxy's reservoir of raw material to form stars. This artist's impression depicts how a black hole accretes the surrounding matter through a disc . The image looks uncannily like an eye in the sky - such as the Eye of Sauron from Lord of the Rings . Astronomers have sought the driving force behind these massive molecular outflows for years, and now a team of University of Maryland scientists has found an answer. The galaxy in the study, known as IRAS F11119+3257, has an actively growing supermassive black hole at its centre. This means that, unlike the large black hole at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy, this black hole is actively consuming large amounts of gas. As material enters the black hole, it creates friction, which in turn gives off electromagnetic radiation - including X-rays and visible light. Black holes that fit this description are called active galactic nuclei (AGN), and their intense radiation output also generates powerful winds that force material away from the centre of a galaxy. In February it was revealed that a supermassive black hole 12 million times larger than the sun and powering ‘the brightest lighthouse in the distant universe’ has been discovered. The extraordinary object is at the centre of a quasar - an intensely powerful galactic radiation source - with a million billion times the sun’s energy output. The nature of quasars has remained a mystery since they were discovered in 1963. But scientists theorise that they are generated by matter heating up as it is dragged into supermassive black holes at the centre of distant galaxies. The new object, named SDSS J0100+2802, is 12.8 billion light years from Earth and was formed 900 million years after the Big Bang, which gave birth to the universe. Astronomers cannot explain how such an enormous black hole could have formed so soon after the first stars and galaxies emerged. The study found that these AGN winds are powerful enough to drive the large molecular outflows that reach to the edges of the galaxy's borders. Although theorists have suspected a connection between AGN winds and molecular outflows before, the current study is the first to confirm this link. 'This is the first galaxy in which we can see both the wind from the active galactic nucleus and the large-scale outflow of molecular gas at the same time,' said lead author Dr Francesco Tombesi, an assistant research scientist in the University of

Summary: University of Maryland scientists present theory for galaxy cores . They say supermassive black holes are causing blasts of material . This leads to the formation of thousands of stars ever year . And the huge outflows could also dictate the size and shape of galaxies .


Andy Murray said it was impossible to choose between brother Jamie, and friends Ross Hutchins and Carlos Mier as best men, so will invite all three . Andy Murray has announced he will have three best men at his wedding when he marries to long-term girlfriend Kim Sears next month. The British tennis star says the honour will be shared between his brother Jamie, close friend and fellow tennis player Ross Hutchins, and former training partner Carlos Mier. Murray, 27, is due to marry Miss Sears, who he has been dating for nine years, in a ceremony at his luxurious Comlix House Hotel in Dunblane on April 11. The Wimbledon champion has previously played best man at brother Jamie's wedding when he married Alejandra Gutierrez at Cromlix House in 2010, and when Ross Hutchins got hitched to Lindsay Wood last year. Murray told how he was not feeling nervous about the wedding but would be more apprehensive about starting a family. He said he couldn't choose who should be his best man and so decided on asking all three to keep up with Kim, who is having four bridesmaids. He said: 'I'm actually not nervous about getting married to be honest, we've been together about nine and a half years so, we've lived together for six, seven years as well so I don't think a whole lots going to change. 'I think I'll be more nervous about starting a family because I feel like for me, that would be more life changing, in a good way but, I kind of feel we have been married already in the way we spend our lives together and live together so I'm not that nervous about the day at all. 'I'm going to have a couple of best men. Jamie's going to be one of them, Ross is also going to be a best man. 'Hopefully my good friend Carlos from Spain, in Barcelona. 'The thing for me is it's double standards in a way with the guys and girls because Kim has four bridesmaids and I was saying well, 'why is that fine for you?' 'Imagine you had to pick one of your four best friends which you've had since you were at school. it's very difficult to chose one. Murray is due to marry girlfriend of nine years Kim Sears (second left) at his Cromlix House Hotel in Dunblane next month (pictured, Murray as best man at brother Jamie's wedding at the hotel in 2010) Murray said it was unfair that Kim was allowed to name four bridesmaids, while he was only allowed one best man, so picked three including his brother (pictured, the pair play together during the 2012 Olympics) 'She was like, "Come on, come on, pick one". I said, "No, it's difficult, so I think I'm going to have two for sure possibly a third if he can come".' Murray and Hutchins are former roommates and known to be very close. When Murray won the Brisbane International in 2012, he dedicated the win to Hutchins. In a post-match speech he
