The baby orangutan who spent most of his short life trapped inside a chicken cage has met another ape for the very first time. Budi was dying from malnutrition and too weak to move when a British charity discovered him in Borneo. After making a remarkable recovery, an new astonishing video shows him interacting - and playing with - an equally adorable baby orangutan called Jemmi. They have both been raised by workers at International Animal Rescue - the charity who care for them - hope their friendship means they will become less dependent on 'human babysitters'. First encounter: Budi (right) - the baby orangutan who spent most of his short life trapped in a cage - has met another ape for the very first time . Playtime: Budi (top) was much more shy than his new friend Jemmi (bottom) who curiously inspected the rescued orangutan . New friends: After spending ten months caged and alone, a new video shows Budi (left) joyfully playing with another primate . Reaching out: International Animal Rescue - the charity that saved Budi (bottom) - hope his friendship with Jemmi will mean they both become less dependent on humans . Recovery: Budi (top) was too weak to even open his mouth when they discovered him inside a chicken cage in December, but he is now strong enough to swing and play . Momentous: The charity's chief executive said the 'first meeting is a milestone in the development of both babies' The video released by charity International Animal Rescue captures Budi and Jemmi's incredible first encounter and shows them curiously inspecting each other before exploring their surroundings. Before Budi was rescued, his owner had never given him a single mouthful of solid food for fear it would be bad for him - leaving his tiny limbs swollen and bent. But the wonderful new footage shows his transformation from that frail and helpless baby into an inquisitive animal who is now strong enough to swing from trees. He looks visibly shy when he first meets new playmate, who looks delighted to have a new friend and reaches out to touch him. Eight-month-old Jemmi was orphaned when her mother was killed and then illegally sold as a pet. Despite Budi's initial hesitation, it's not long before the two are climbing the hammock together and a 'bond of friendship is beginning to form between them'. The Chief Executive of the charity that rescued Budi hopes his new-found friendship with Jemmi gets them both used to orangutans so they can hopefully be released into the wild some day. Alan Knight said: 'As they start to form bonds with each other and then with other orangutans in baby school, they will learn from each other how to behave in the forest and gradually shed their dependence on their human babysitters.' Tough start: Budi's new playmate Jemmi (right) was orphaned when his mother was killed - and then illegally sold as a pet . Rescued: Budi also had a tough start to life Budi the orangutan and was found (pictured) lying on his

Summary: Baby orangutan Budi was too weak to move when he was rescued in January . International Animal Rescue found him living in a tiny chicken cage in Borneo . He is now strong enough to swing around and even play with other orangutans . An adorable video captures his first encounter with his new companion Jemmi . His eight-month-old friend was orphaned as a baby and sold illegally as a pet . Charity hope they will both become less dependent on the 'human babysitters'


A New York City club for Republican women is being torn apart by a vitriolic fight after one member accused of board member of saying 'we don't want' lesbians at the exclusive 95-year-old league. Marilyn Thomas sent an email to the 1,000 members of the Women's National Republican Club accusing 72-year-old Irene Marmott of scoffing at the membership of lesbian Republicans. According to Page Six, Ms Thomas accuses Mrs Marmott of declaring: 'We obviously can’t say that but, of course, we don’t want them here.' Irene Marmott, 72, (left) has been accused of saying 'of course we don't want' lesbians at the Women's National Republican Club in New York City by member Marilyn Thomas (right) The Manhattan club was founded by suffragists in 1921 as a way to educate female voters . Mrs Marmott denies making the remark. A lawyer for the club told the Post: 'She has no recollection of saying anything that could be construed as inappropriate.' The club on West 51st Street in Manhattan, charges at $544 initiation fee and $822 a year in dues. Founded in 1921 as a suffragist organization to educate female voters, it lists former First Ladies Barbara Bush, Laura Bush and Nancy Reagan as honorary members - though it refers to them on its website as Mrs George H.W. Bush, Mrs George W. Bush and Mrs Ronald Reagan. Ms Thomas, who works in film, also says Mrs Marmott had scorn for Republican commentator Margaret Hoover, a frequent speaker at the club who is also a prominent gay rights proponent within the GOP. 'Irene said that she had no idea that Margaret was "wrapped up in something like that,'" according to the email. Club dues are $822 a year and the initiation fee is $544. The club on West 51st Street has frequent speakers, a bar and a hotel . Club officials say that the organization is open to all and that there are currently lesbians members. Men are allowed to join as associate members . Ms Thomas called on Mrs Marmott to apologize and resign from the board. The Women's National Republican Club says it has no policy - in fact or in deed - to discriminate against lesbians - or anyone else. 'This club has been in existence for 90 years and welcomes people regardless of creed, color and sexual orientation. We have members who are gay,' Daniel W. Isaacs, the attorney for the organization, told the Post. Men are allowed to join the club as non-voting associate members. Mrs Marmott did not immediately return calls from Daily Mail Online seeking comment.

When a baby is screaming for food in the middle of the night the two minutes it takes to boil water to heat the bottle can seem like a lifetime. A pair of entrepreneurs is hoping to make this easier by launching a kettle with a 'baby bottle preparation' function. It lets parents schedule when the kettle should start boiling, which also also gives it time to cool down, to coincide with the expected feeding times. Scroll down for video . AppKettle was created by Loughborough University engineering graduates Robert Hill and Richard Hill. It is expected to launch on Kickstarter on 31 March and connects the smart kettle to an app to schedule boils . Alternatively, a parent can set the kettle to boil as soon as the baby starts crying so by the time they have got the infant out of bed and into the kitchen, the water is ready. And AppKettle wasn't just designed for new parents, it can also be used to schedule the kettle to be boiled before a user gets home or first thing in the morning, for example. Elsewhere, a connected app will reveal how much water is in the kettle so people know how many cups they can make, and this can ultimately save energy because kettles aren't boiled too often unnecessarily. It lets parents schedule when the kettle should start boiling, which ultimately also gives it time to cool down, to coincide with the expected feeding times. Alternatively, a parent can set the kettle to boil as soon as the child starts crying so by the time they have got the child out of bed and into the kitchen, it's ready to go .

Elsewhere, a connected app will reveal how much water is in the kettle so people know how many cups they can make, and this can ultimately save energy from excess boils . It can additionally control the temperature of the beverage, depending on the type of drink being made, or control the timing of the brew. The first 250 backers of Appkettle will be able to pre-order it for £79.99 ($119), although the aim is to eventually set a retail price of around £120 ($179) This follows a MailOnline story which found that for standard black tea, freshly boiled water should be used - with temperatures above 95°C (203°F). Water should be left to cool down for at least 30 seconds when making green and white tea, with a recommended temperature of 74°C to 85°C (160°F to 203°F). Oolong tea is best steeped in 85°C (185°F) water, and herbal teas should be steeped in water with a temperature of 95°C (203°F). And regardless of the temperature, tea should be steeped for six minutes for the perfect brew, according to the British Standards Institute. AppKettle was created by engineering graduates Robert Hill and Richard Hill. They showcased the technology at the recent Venturefest innovation exhibition in

He has become used to rewriting the record books these past few years, amending football history in style with wonderful goals and dazzling pieces of skill. But there's one record Lionel Messi has some way to go to break - one held by England's very own Jimmy Greaves. It is the all-time leading goalscorer list across Europe's top five divisions - England, Spain, Italy, France and Germany - but at least the Barcelona wizard is making progress up the ladder. Lionel Messi (right) is congratulated by team-mate Luis Suarez after scoring for Barcelona in their 3-1 win over Granada at the weekend - it moved him to 269 goals in the Spanish league . Messi's close-range finish took him into the top 10 all-time goalscorers list for Europe's top five leagues . Jimmy Greaves, seen here playing for Tottenham in 1967, leads the chart with 366 league goals . Messi's goal in Barca's 3-1 win at Granada on Saturday was his 269th in the Spanish league and took him into the top 10 of the all-time standings for league goals, as pointed out by MisterChip on Twitter. However, he is still some way behind Greaves' tally of 366 league goals set between 1957 and 1971. The prolific England international striker scored 357 goals for Chelsea, Tottenham and West Ham in the English top flight, plus nine for AC Milan in Serie A. It set some precedent, one almost matched by Gerd Muller, who scored 365 goals for Bayern Munich in the German top flight and is second in the table. There is then a gap to the pre-war English scoring duo of Steve Bloomer (317 Division One goals between 1892 and 1914) and Dixie Dean (310 between 1924 and 1938). German legend Gerd Muller is second on the all-time list, just one goal behind Greaves . Messi's rival, Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid, is sixth on the goalscorers list . Alan Shearer, with his familiar celebration for Newcastle United, comes in eighth on the list with 283 goals . One man Messi will be desperate to catch is his rival Cristiano Ronaldo, currently sixth in the list with 291 goals in Europe's top five leagues - 84 for Manchester United in the Premier League and 207 for Real Madrid in La Liga. Alan Shearer is eighth, with 283 goals for Southampton, Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United in the English top flight. If they continue at their present free-scoring rate, it's highly likely Ronaldo and Messi will one day be topping this list. But the key question remains - in which order will they finish?

Summary: Lionel Messi into top 10 of all-time scorers chart for five major leagues . Messi scored for Barcelona at Granada on Saturday . Argentina star now has total of 269 goals in La Liga . Jimmy Greaves tops chart with 366 goals, one ahead of Gerd Muller . Messi's rival Cristiano Ronaldo is sixth with 291 top-flight goals .


The word 'lunatic' itself was derived from the Latin word for moon 'luna,' as many were convinced that the celestial body could cause disease and strange behaviour. And it's a theory that persists today, with many people believing that a full moon is more likely to coincide with hectic periods in hospitals or in birth wards. But Dr Jean-Luc Margot, a professor of planetary astronomy at the University of California, has carried out a study that proves that the concept is essentially rubbish. A researcher from the University of California says that claims the moon causes illnesses are rubbish. Dr Margot said that when life is hectic on the day of a full moon, many people remember the association because it confirms their belief - but they do not remember when nothing in particular happens on such a day . His research was carried out to illustrate how intelligent and otherwise reasonable people develop strong beliefs that are not aligned with reality. 'The absence of a lunar influence on human affairs has been demonstrated in the areas of automobile accidents, hospital admissions, surgery outcomes, cancer survival rates, menstruation, births, birth complications, depression, violent behaviour, and even criminal activity', Dr Margot writes. Even though a 40-year-old UCLA study demonstrated that the timing of births does not correlate in any way with the lunar cycle, the belief in a lunar effect has persisted. A full moon is when it is on the opposite side of Earth from the sun. This means its entire surface is lit up by the sun, making it especially bright. A new moon is when it is in the same direction as the sun, so its 'far side' is lit, and it can barely be seen in Earth's sky. On average, the moon is 239,000 miles (384,000km) from Earth and takes 27 days, seven hours, 43 minutes and 11.6 seconds to complete one orbit. A 2004 study in a nursing journal, for example, suggested that the full moon influenced the number of hospital admissions in a medical unit in Barcelona, Spain. But Dr Margot identified multiple flaws in the data collection and analysis of the 2004 research. By re-analysing the data, he showed that the number of admissions was unrelated to the lunar cycle. 'The moon is innocent,' Dr Margot said. Dr Margot cited what scientists refer to as the 'confirmation bias' - people's tendency to interpret information in a way that confirms their beliefs and ignore data that contradict them. When life is hectic on the day of a full moon, many people remember the association because it confirms their belief. But hectic days that do not correspond with a full moon are promptly ignored and forgotten because they do not reinforce the belief. The moon is even blamed when things get crazy at hospital emergency rooms (stock image shown) or birth wards. 'Some nurses ascribe the apparent chaos to the moon, but dozens of studies show that the belief is unfounded,' said Dr Jean-Luc Margot, a UCLA professor of planetary astronomy . Dr Margot said the societal costs

Summary: Scientist at the University of California studied lunar myths . He found that full moons do not correlate with illnesses or 'hectic' periods . People just thought they did because they remembered those days . 'The moon is innocent,' Dr Jean-Luc Margot said .


Scientists are virtually certain that California will be rocked by a strong earthquake in the next 30 years. Now they say the risk of a mega-quake is more likely than previously thought. The chance of a magnitude-8 quake striking the state in the next three decades jumped to 7 per cent from 4.7 per cent, mainly because scientists took into account the possibility that several faults can shake at once, releasing seismic energy that results in greater destruction. While the risk of a mega-quake is higher than past estimates, it's more likely - greater than 99 per cent chance - that California will be rattled by a magnitude-6.7 jolt similar in size to the 1994 Northridge disaster. Brace: A new U.S. Geological Survey report has increased the likelihood of a magnitude-8 earthquake hitting California over the next 30 years. Above, a photo of an overpass that collapsed in the 1994 magnitude-6.7 Northridge earthquake . The chance of a Northridge-size quake was slightly higher in Northern California than Southern California - 95 per cent versus 93 per cent, according to a report released Tuesday by the U.S. Geological Survey. 'California is earthquake country, and residents should live every day like it could be the day of a big one,' USGS geophysicist and lead author Ned Field said. The latest seismic calculations largely mirror previous findings issued by the USGS in 2008. Back then, scientists also determined that California faced an almost certain risk of experiencing a Northridge-size quake. The new report included newly discovered fault zones and the possibility that a quake can jump from fault to fault. Because of this knowledge, the odds of a catastrophic quake - magnitude 8 or larger - in the next 30 years increased. There is a 93 per cent chance of a magnitude 7 or larger occurring over the same period and a 48 per cent chance of a magnitude 7.5 - similar to previous estimates. Thousands of quakes every year hit California, sandwiched between two of Earth's major tectonic plates, the Pacific and North American plates. Most are too small to be felt. Of the more than 300 faults that crisscross the state, the southern segment of the San Andreas Fault - which runs from central California to the Salton Sea near the U.S.-Mexico border - remains the greatest threat because it hasn't ruptured in more than three centuries. The report found there is a 19 per cent chance in the next 30 years that a Northridge-size quake will unzip the southern section compared to a 6.4 per cent chance for the northern section, partly because it last broke in 1906. The southern San Andreas is 'ready to have an earthquake because it's really locked and loaded,' Field said. The report is a forecast, but it is not a prediction. Experts still cannot predict exactly where or when a quake will hit anywhere in the world. In recent years, the USGS and several universities have been testing an early warning system designed to detect the first waves of a jolt and send out an alert

Summary: New U.S. Geological Survey report increases chances of magnitude-8 earthquake in next three decades to 7 per cent, up from 4.7 per cent .


New York Home Depot employee Kirk Soccorso said he was fired because he has 'Isis', the name of his ex-girlfriend, tattooed on the inside of his lip . A New York Home Depot employee says he was fired because he has 'Isis', the name of his ex-girlfriend, tattooed on the inside of his lip. Kirk Soccorso said he got the tattoo four years ago while dating his ex-girlfriend, who is named after the Egyptian goddess of nature. Soccorso said he had no idea 'until just recently' that the acronym stood for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, an extremist terrorist group. So when Soccorso overheard a co-worker using the word he decided to show off his old tattoo. Soccorso, who had been working at the Long Island store for six months as a tool demonstrator, said he was then let go from his job and told not to return. 'I feel a little lost,' he told News 12 Long Island. 'It was a good paying job.' Soccorso said it was never his intention to scare anyone and that he was 'just making conversation' when he revealed his inked lip. 'I want a chance for my job back,' he said. A spokesman for Home Depot told News 12 that the decision to fire Soccorso wasn't 'just based on the tattoo'. Soccorso, who said he didn't know what the acronym stood for until 'just recently', overheard a co-worker using the word and decided to show off his old tattoo. He was let go from his job soon after .

'In order to allow Archway to relocate its business appropriately, the Club will not take possession of the land until later this year.' Archway's property was heavily damaged by fire in November as their court battle rumbled on but now Tottenham can continue with their plans - which have been approved by Haringey Council for some time. Despite the good news, Tottenham will still need to find a temporary home for the 2016-17 season as the work is carried out - with the likes of MK Dons' Stadium mk, the Olympic Stadium and Wembley all touted as potential locations. Archway Sheet Metal Works, which is located next to White Hart Lane on the last patch of land Tottenham needed for their stadium have dropped their legal challenge against the club . Tottenham have the go-ahead for their new 56,000-plus capacity stadium at White Hart Lane .

Summary: Tottenham are free to build their new stadium after striking a deal with Archway Sheet Metal Works who were located on the proposed site . Archway had posed a legal challenge to the stadium plans but that was dropped in favour of a private deal with Spurs . However, in order to let Archway relocate, Spurs have delayed building . Spurs will find a temporary stadium for the 2016-17 season . They may share with West Ham United or MK Dons .

A mother has successfully sued police for wrongful arrest after being handcuffed in front of her Down's syndrome daughter over false claims she left her alone outside for 45 minutes. Valerie Cadman-Khan was left 'humiliated' when officers led her away from her Middlesbrough home in front of her crying daughter Aimee. Cleveland Police accused the 56-year-old of negligent behaviour, claiming she left the child alone for 45 minutes in the garden. Valerie Cadman-Khan has successfully sued Cleveland Police for wrongful arrest after being handcuffed in front of her daughter Aimee when she was 12 . The 56-year-old was led away from her former boyfriend's house in front of her daughter amid false claims Aimee, who has Down's syndrome, had been left alone for 45 minutes in the cold . Middlesbrough County Court heard how officer Detective Sergeant Colin Helyer lied to the local authority child abuse investigation to justify arresting the mother of five. On the day in question in November 2008, he had been called to her former partner's home over an unpaid tax bill. Aimee had been left in the man's care and was sitting outside when police arrived. Mrs Cadman Khan was at work. But the police officer began 'banging' on the front door and later claimed the child had turned 'purple' because she was not wearing a coat. Upon her arrival at the property Mrs Cadman-Khan, who left work early because she was not feeling well, was arrested and taken away by police. Detective Sergeant Colin Helyer was accused of 'freestyle lying' in his version of events . Aimee was forced to watch the incident, all the while screaming: 'I want my mummy,' she claimed. Her mother launched a wrongful arrest suit and has won her case against the force. Her claim for £34,000 in compensation will be assessed at a later date. Speaking of her ordeal the teacher, who works for the council at East Coast Training, a pupil referral centre, said: 'It was never about the money - it was about clearing my name after the injustice to me and my little girl. 'This should never have come to court, I only wanted an apology. 'All I could hear was my little girl shouting "I want my mummy, I want my mummy". 'It was horrendous.' After arresting Mrs Cadman-Khan on suspicion of child neglect, Det Sgt Helyer 'lied under oath' to claim Aimee had been mistreated, the court heard. 'He falsely asserted that Aimee had been purple and suggested the client had been violent to him,' Nick Stanage, barrister for Mrs Cadman-Khan said. 'Sadly this was a witness that even when caught in a lie by the court he was unwilling to be honest about it.' 'For a woman of good character from that profession to be arrested and accused of allegations of child neglect and cruelty is of the utmost seriousness.' He denied maliciously arresting the mother of five, insisting that all of his actions were in Aimee's best interest. 'In the balance of probability it was more likely Sgt Helyer overreacted and was led

A medical student on trial for stabbing a Georgetown law student to death has used a rare defense - claiming his girlfriend committed the murder, despite his initial confession. Rahul Gupta, 25, is charged with second-degree murder after Mark Waugh, 23, was found stabbed to death in Gupta's apartment in Silver Springs, Virginia in 2013. Gupta initially confessed to the crime saying he did it because Waugh was cheating with his girlfriend. But this week in court, Gupta's attorneys have 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.' Rahul Gupta (right), a medical student on trial for stabbing Mark Waugh, (left) a Georgetown law student to death has used a rare defense - claiming his girlfriend committed the murder . But this week in court, Gupta's attorneys have claimed he only made the confession as he was protecting his now ex-girlfriend Taylor Gould, who had in fact killed Waugh (both pictured) Gould who has not been charged with anything and is not on trial, testified last week, 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. 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 . After drinking, Gupta and Waugh returned to Gupta's girlfriend's apartment in Silver Springs at 1:30am where the three continued drinking shots of alcohol. 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'. Prosecutor Patrick Mays told the court that when asked what had happened, Gupta told them: 'My girlfriend and my buddy were cheating. I walked in on my girlfriend and my buddy cheating. I killed my buddy.' Officers found Waugh lying on the floor unresponsive and he was pronounced dead - he had been stabbed six times and slashed five times. His lung was punctured and his jugular vein

Summary: Rahul Gupta, 25, is charged with second-degree murder after Mark Waugh, 23, was found stabbed to death in Gupta's apartment in Virginia . Gupta initially confessed to the 2013 crime saying he did it because Waugh was cheating with his girlfriend . But Gupta's attorneys have claimed he only made the confession as he was protecting his now ex-girlfriend Taylor Gould, who had in fact killed Waugh . Taylor Gould says she was too drunk the night of the murder to remember .


Louis van Gaal has opened up about his management style with Manchester United, insisting he says one sentence to his players in the dressing room before a match. The Old Trafford boss also revealed that most players in his star studded squad ‘don’t dare’ question his methods and formation. Van Gaal’s side take on Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday as they look to consolidate a place in the Premier League top four. Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says most of the players 'don't dare' to question him . The Dutchman revealed to Geoff Shreeves (left) that he says one sentence to the players on match day . ‘I always try to be positive to the players as it’s always better to give them a compliment and be positive, rather than negative,’ Van Gaal told Geoff Shreeves of Sky Sports. ‘I ask the players what they find, but I have a lot of corrections, but they have to agree with me otherwise they cannot perform at the next time.' Shreeves asks whether van Gaal accepts players challenging his tactics or methods and the Dutchman chuckles before revealing: ‘Most of the players don’t dare to do that but when they have good arguments I listen. Van Gaal walks across the Anfield turf on Sunday as his side takes on Liverpool at in a crucial fixture . ‘When their argument is better than mine than I’d look at changing my ideas. Which system I play is not interesting, it is the philosophy that is important. Van Gaal has a reputation across European football as meticulously preparing for matches, with constant analysis, discussion, many meetings and videos of training. However the 63-year-old only gives one sentence to his players on match day: ‘The team is as a whole, they all sit in front of me and then I say one sentence…"Show yourself today” or “No red card because it will be a very sharp duel”.’ Wayne Rooney celebrates scoring United's final goal in their 3-0 win against Tottenham last weekend . He feels this is important as it forces the players to prepare for themselves : ‘Because I have prepared for the match together with the players already for three or four days. What do I need to say then? ‘I want to transfer to the players that they need to think for themselves in the match, they have to decide by themselves. Otherwise they have to wait until half-time so that I can say something. ‘I believe that players can read the game, that they have to coach their fellow players . Louis van Gaal, pictured in Manchester United training on Friday, meticulously prepares for their matches .

Horrified New Yorkers witnessed the grim reality of life in Syria as they viewed graphic photographs smuggled out of the war-torn country. An exhibition of gruesome torture images showing eye gougings, strangulation and the effects of long-term starvation, is being staged at the city's United Nations headquarters. About 25 pictures from a collection of 55,000 are on display this week, in an initiative sponsored by the US, Britain, France, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, as the conflict in Syria moves into its fifth year. Some were visibly distressed as they viewed the horrific pictures, which were smuggled out of Syria between 2011 and mid-2013. Former war crimes prosecutors have described the images as 'clear evidence' of systematic torture and mass killings in Syria's three-year-long civil war. Scroll down for video . Distressing: A woman covers her mouth as she views shocking images sumggled out of Syria on display at the UN headquarters in New York . Shocked: Another visitor reacts after examining some of the 25 pictures of dead bodies in Syr . They were taken by a former military police photographer who has been identified by the code name 'Caesar'. Britain's UN Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant said the aim of the exhibition was to raise awareness of the human rights abuses that President Bashar al-Assad's troops have been accused of committing against the Syrian people. 'As the conflict in Syria enters its fifth year, the number of those killed and displaced has reached 220,000 and 7.6million, and over 3.8million have been forced to flee the country,' Mr Lyall Grant said. 'We hope that this exhibition will serve as a reminder of the imperative to pursue a political solution to the conflict with utmost urgency to end the suffering of the Syrian people.' Syrian's UN Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari was not immediately available for comment on the photos. Caesar was a senior sergeant in Syria's army who spent 13 years working as a forensic photographer, say former war crimes prosecutors who examined the photos. Lawyers acting for Qatar commissioned the examination of the evidence. Qatar, like Saudi Arabia, is strongly opposed to Assad. Between September 2011 and August 2013, Caesar worked at a military hospital, taking photos of bodies from three detention centres in the Damascus area. He smuggled copies of those photos out of the hospital on memory sticks hidden in his shoe. The UN Security Council viewed the photos during an informal meeting last April. Russia and China vetoed a bid in May to refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court for possible prosecution of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the civil war.

AIDS came from gorillas as well as chimpanzees, new research suggests. Two of the four known groups of viruses that cause the disease have been traced back to the great apes that share about 98 per cent of their DNA with humans. It had been known simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) - the monkey equivalent of HIV - had jumped from chimpanzees into humans, but now it seems gorillas in Cameroon also played a vital role. Scientists say understanding the disease's origins will help predict the future risk of an outbreak. Scientists have discovered that AIDS may have originated from western lowland gorillas in Cameroon, as well as groups of chimpanzees in the country . The connection was uncovered after researchers analysed faecal samples collected in remote forests. They found HIV-1 groups known as 'O' and 'P' originated in western lowland gorillas. HIV-1 - the virus that causes AIDS - has jumped species to infect humans on at least four separate occasions. The other lineages, 'M' and 'N', are known to have started in geographically distinct chimpanzee communities in southern Cameroon. Group 'M' gave rise to the AIDS pandemic - infecting over 40 million people worldwide by spreading across Africa and throughout the rest of the world. Scientists found HIV-1 groups known as 'O' and 'P' originated in western lowland gorillas. A conceptual image of a HIV infected cell is pictured . Groups 'N' and 'P', at the other extreme, have only been found in a few individuals from Cameroon. But 'O' - although not as widespread and prevalent as 'M' - has nonetheless infected about 100,000 people in west central Africa. The team screened fecal samples from western lowland gorillas, eastern lowland gorillas, and mountain gorillas in Cameroon, Gabon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Uganda for evidence of SIV strains - the pre-cursors of HIV. A new book claims the AIDS epidemic began in a rainforest in southeastern Cameroon in 1908 and not more than 70 years later when the virus started to be recognized in the early 1980s. For the book, which is subtitled 'How AIDS emerged from an African forest', David Quammen traced the history of AIDS by examining genetic samples from humans and chimps. This led him to believe the birthplace of the epidemic was the southeastern edge of Cameroon sometime around 1908. Quammen theorizes that a hunter in the rainforest was infected with a immunodeficiency virus similar to HIV by a chimp he killed and butchered. The hunter likely infected at least one other person through sex and the virus continued to make its way down the Sangha River in that matter until it reached the city of Leopoldville (now Kinshasa) in the Congo. After reaching the Congo, the virus spread even faster via the continued re-use of hypodermic syringes at health clinics, Mr Quammen said. They identified it in four communities of western lowland gorillas in southern Cameroon - and dubbed it 'SIVgor'. Professor Beatrice Hahn, of Pennsylvania University, said: 'Viral sequencing revealed a high degree of genetic diversity among the different gorilla samples. 'Two of

Summary: Scientists identified pre-cursor of HIV virus in gorillas in Cameroon . Virus similar to two HIV strains known as 'O' and 'P' found in the gorillas . Previously scientists had only identified the virus in chimpanzee groups . Experts believe the monkey virus jumped into humans who hunted them .


Nine wild beavers are to continue to live free on a Devon river after they passed health checks. The animals - the first wild beavers to breed in England for 800 years - were captured earlier this week and given crucial blood tests. Their clear results mean the beavers should be released back into the wild on the River Otter by the end of the month. A family of beavers is to continue living free on a Devon river after passing health checks that included blood tests. Natural England, the government agency in charge of wildlife, said the animals won't be put in a zoo, but will instead be allowed to stay in the wild and be carefully monitored in the first project of its kind . Ministers wanted the remarkable animals to be rounded up and put in a zoo after they were spotted last year. But Natural England, the government agency in charge of wildlife, decided they will instead be allowed to stay in the wild in the first project of its kind. Their approval last month was conditional on the beavers being assessed as free of the disease Echinococcus multilocularis, which can be harmful to humans. Now that tests have revealed that the four adult beavers are free of the disease, and if they pass a few more tests, they are set to be released onto the river. The Echinococcus multilocularis parasite is a small tapeworm. Its eggs can cause alveolar echinococcosis (AE) - a disease in humans brought on if a person swallows the tapeworm's eggs. High risk people include hunters, vets and other people who come into contact with carriers. This includes wild foxes, or coyotes, household dogs and cats or other animals that eat wild rodents infected with AE. Beavers may also pick up the eggs from their surroundings. Humans can be exposed to these eggs by 'hand-to-mouth' transfer or contamination. Devon Wildlife Trust, which will monitor the beavers for the next five years, said they had passed a ‘vital hurdle’ in one of the most important schemes in the history of English conservation. Beavers, which are native to England, were common in our countryside until they were wiped out by hunters in the Middle Ages. They vanished from our rivers and wetlands for centuries until, mysteriously, one was spotted near Ottery St Mary in eastern Devon last winter. It later became clear there were nine of the animals, two pairs of breeding adults and five juveniles, and they had been quietly living and breeding there for at least five years. It was unclear where they came from – but they had thrived without any outside interference. Environmentalists were delighted at the unexpected finding, but were horrified when Defra, the Government’s environment department, decided last year that they would round up the beavers. Officials said the animals posed a risk to other wildlife and might spread parasites and disease, and insisted they must be put in a zoo or even culled. That decision was reversed six weeks ago when Natural England granted Devon Wildlife Trust a

Summary: Beavers have been living and breeding on River Otter, Devon for five years . They are the first wild beavers to breed in England for 800 years . The family of nine went completely unnoticed until a year ago . Ministers called for the rodents to be rounded up and put in a zoo . Natural England said they could stay wild but only with careful monitoring . And now the creatures have passed health checks including blood tests that screened them for the Echinococcus multilocularis parasite .


Kimi Raikkonen was left to bemoan bad timing as the reason why he faces an uphill struggle to claim a podium finish in Sunday's Malaysian Grand Prix. Throughout practice at the Sepang International Circuit Raikkonen had suggested a top-three position was on the cards as he emerged the closest rival to Mercedes duo Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. But come qualifying, and the start of the second session with a storm brewing overhead, the Finn found himself out of position in the queue to take to the track and set a banker lap.

Click here to read Jonathan McEvoy's report as Hamilton secures pole ahead of Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg . With team-mate Sebastian Vettel at the head of the line of cars, the four-times champion eventually emerged quickest in Q2 as the drivers only had time for one hot lap before the heavens opened. That lap proved to be a mad scramble from which Raikkonen could only qualify 11th, with Sauber's Marcus Ericsson his undoing. 'I tried to overtake Ericsson because he was in front of me,' said Raikkonen. 'But at the last corner I couldn't slow down because there were other people pushing me forward. 'In my mind we just got the timing wrong. That's how it ended up.' Television pictures of qualifying showed lightning and stormy conditions approaching the circuit . Dark clouds gather in the background at the Sepang International Circuit during the qualifying session . Raikkonen, though, opted not to point an accusing finger at his team, adding: 'I don't know if it helps to blame anyone. 'It's easy to say afterwards we should have been waiting behind one another, but the end result is this and whatever we will do now will not change it. It is unfortunate. 'Obviously, we have made our life very difficult, so I have no idea what we will do tomorrow. We will try our best and see where we end up.' Vettel, meanwhile, became the first Ferrari driver since this race two years ago to qualify on the front row, splitting Hamilton and Rosberg who were denied a 10th consecutive front-row lock-out.

'Obviously when it starts to rain here - and there's always a high chance - it can mix up things,' said Vettel. 'It was an interesting qualifying session. The car felt good in both dry and wet conditions at the end. 'I'm reasonably happy, and also the long runs look good on practice days, so we should be in good shape, but we know they

It's only been a couple of weeks since Kim Kardashian revealed her shocking new platinum do amid the whirlwind of Paris fashion week. However, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is already finding that she has to work pretty hard to maintain the look. Just this week, Kim posted a picture of herself having her dark roots touched up for the third time. Scroll down for video . Kim bleached her hair for the third time this week saying that being a blonde is a 'full-time job'... but a top celebrity hairdresser has warned Kim not to hit the bottle too often . Now celebrity hairdresser Andrew Jose, ambassador for Salon Science, has warned that if she's not careful, Kim could suffer from some serious breakage for her blond look. Andrew, who has styled the tresses of Alanis Morissette, Jamie Campbell Bower and Louise Redknapp, says: 'This type of bleach blonde look goes beyond fashion and if done well can look high-end and powerful. 'Be warned though, this look is definitely not for the faint-hearted. Not only does maintaining the regrowth take a lot of commitment but the chemical process of bleach on the hair can be incredibly damaging.' When Kim posted the picture of herself having her hair done again, she said: 'Being blonde is a full -time job!,' and it seems she's not far wrong. Kim has been showing off her bright blonde hair for the last couple of weeks after debuting her new look at Paris Fashion week . Andrew says: 'Of all the colouring methods, bleach is the most damaging, and should always be done professionally and slowly. 'Bleaching raises the cuticle on the hair, removing colour pigment permanently from the hair shaft, a process which is called oxidation. 'Bleaching can permanently raise the cuticle, leaving hair dry, brittle and porous. Overlapping bleach in the same place leaves hair feeling weak and elastic, which can then lead to hair breakage.' He added: 'Overuse and repeated application of bleach to the scalp can strip the hair of moisture and damage the follicle. 'This may cause the hair to either fall out from the root or to break at the weakest point along the hair shaft.' Any would-be blondes should think about trying a toner before giving the bleach a go, says Andrew. Kim showed off her newly-bleached blonde roots as she ran errands around Los Angeles .

It's well accepted that the bars preferred by backpackers offer cheap drinks and the chance to meet like-minded future Facebook friends, but Fremantle Prison YHA is offering up a whole new experience. Western Australia's only World Heritage-listed building has been transformed into a youth hostel where worldly travellers can spend a night behind bars in the cells previously occupied by hardened criminals. Bookings open this week ahead of the opening of the hostel following a renovation of the famous institution's Women's Prison which took nine months. Bookings open this week for the Fremantle Prison YHA, a youth hostel in Western Australia's only World Heritage-listed building . Perfectly manicured lawns have replaced the dirt-covered yard that prisoners would have used for exercise in the former jail . A combination of new and old is found at the Fremantle Prison's new short-term accommodation . The Fremantle Prison's Women's division has been transformed from a place for incarceration to a haven for young travellers . YHA spokeswoman Emily Abbott says the launch of the hostel will be the culmination on five years of planning for a project that almost didn't get off the ground but that it is now ‘one of the most unique accommodation options in the country’. The north-western complex of the prison was built in the 1850s and originally served as the cookhouse, bakehouse and laundry but the closure of Perth Gaol meant a place was needed to keep female prisoners. They were transferred to Fremantle and the wing was secured by an extra wall to keep them in, with varying results. And as Western Australia’s criminals increased with the population, the division was further extended until it was rendered redundant by the building of the specialist Bandyup Women's Prison in 1970. The entire prison was closed in 1991 and its historic status has since been confirmed and honoured by Unesco, a blessing and a curse as far as the hostel is concerned. Inspection time at the cells will take on a whole new meaning when the Fremantle Prison YHA opens soon . A double bunk fits perfectly in this rather luxurious cell formerly occupied by law-breaking women . Hangings, floggings and some famous escapes once took place in the prison soon to be filled with smiling faces . The Fremantle Prison's cookhouse before being devoted to women has extensive stainless steel food preparation facilities . ‘The status as a World Heritage site added many challenges to the development, which was shelved a number of times before finally receiving approval in April 2014,' Abbott says. Building approval was officially given the green light the following month. The prison itself was built by convicts between 1851 and 1859, and was consequently referred to as the Convict Establishment. It remained a prison for 136 years until it closed, with the Women's Prison part of the property used as education facilities by TAFE School of Art and Design from 1993 to 2009. Fremantle Prison was built by convicts from 1851-1859 and the majority of original features have been preserved throughout the facility . Reminders of

Summary: Fremantle Prison is Western Australia's only World Heritage-listed building . The former Women's Prison section has become Fremantle Prison YHA . The youth hostel has been renovated to be 'as prison-like as it is comfortable'


My visit to Kimberley in Western Australia was my first ‘big’ trip Down Under. I’ve been to the country for a couple of short visits – I went to a friend’s wedding in Melbourne, for example – but this latest experience was something else. I was there to film part of my new series for More4 called Jimmy’s Australian Food Adventure. My tour involved seeing local producers, meeting the farmers and looking at what they are doing – to get a picture of the whole food culture. I wanted to understand what it was like when the first settlers arrived, to talk about Aboriginal dishes, and how all of that has had an effect on the country’s modern cuisine. During his tour, Jimmy went to Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin, where there are lots of different species of crocodiles, including the large, troublesome saltwater crocs . Food in Australia has been greatly influenced by the second wave of immigrants: the Greeks, the Italians and, more recently, those from various parts of Asia. Until fairly recently, Australia was best known for pies and barbies – but now it’s at the forefront of international cuisine. It also produces some of the world’s leading wines and, with its diverse climate, it can grow pretty much any vegetable and fruit – from bananas to potatoes – nearly all year round. The other interesting thing is that Australia can produce all the vegetables needed to make Vietnamese and Sri Lankan dishes, for example. That’s not something we can do in the UK, so we have to import them instead. Australia was best known for pies and barbies – but now it’s at the forefront of international cuisine, and also produces some of the world’s leading wines . There are some fantastic chefs and some very interesting restaurants. If there is a problem with international recognition, it’s down to the fact it’s hard to define what exactly Australian cuisine is – there is a coming together of lots of different influences. Jimmy was in Australia was to film part of his new series for More4 called Jimmy’s Australian Food Adventure . However, I’m not sure this is actually a ‘problem’. For example, in South Australia I met an Italian market gardener who had emigrated and I was amazed at the variety of vegetables he was growing. Everything he would have produced back home on the Amalfi Coast, including cavolo nero and squashes, was there. In addition, he was growing different oriental vegetables which then go to farmers’ markets in Adelaide. At my farm in Suffolk, we have a farm shop, we run a farmers’ market, and we have a restaurant – we’re part of a food culture that can perhaps be accused of being slightly elitist. But in Australia, that attitude doesn’t exist because if people are snobby, they soon get shot down. This isn’t to say you won’t find fine dining Down Under. We went to Uluru – Ayers Rock – and I met a chef who cooked some wonderful beef. He did great fine dining, but following

Stuart McCall says he hopes to be appointed Rangers boss on a long-term basis – after agreeing to join the club until the end of the season. McCall replaces Kenny McDowall with the remit to get the Ibrox club, rejuvenated off the field following Dave King’s successful ousting of the previous board, out of the Championship. And, while he is urging the dozen out-of-contract players at Rangers to concentrate on winning new deals, he made it very clear that he’d like to stay on beyond the summer. New Rangers manager Stuart McCall raises the club scarf after being unveiled on Thursday afternoon . The former Motherwell boss said: ‘Yes. Regarding the players playing for their futures and new contracts, I’m in the same boat. ‘We’re here for the short term, we know that. But we’ve got an opportunity to put down a marker. If we can do well, who knows what will happen in the future? ‘I’ve enjoyed being back on the training ground. It’s a big, big challenge. Anyone who has seen the side over the last three or four months will know that. But it’s a massive opportunity, privilege and honour.

But look at quality of squad. They know we’ve underperformed. There is enough quality in there to do better. ‘Football can change so quickly. There is no magic pill for confidence, which has severely lacking. But sometimes a new voice can provide a spark. ‘Their main aim should be turning things around. There are 12 boys out of contract, go win yourself a contract. McDowall was a reluctant leader at Rangers and was boss for 10 games, winning just three of those . ‘Be there at end of season, going around a full Ibrox to cheers, rather than hurrying down tunnel being booed off.’ McCall spoke to McDowall on Thursday and intends to make contact with former team-mate Ally McCoist, still technically on gardening leave from Rangers. His reign began with hard work on Wednesday, calling the players in on their day off to go through an afternoon training session, explaining: ‘Our aim is to get out of the league. The quicker we could get down to it, better. Stuart McCall (left), who was Scotland assistant under Gordon Strachan, has taken charge at Ibrox . ‘They got a group text at half eleven to come in for half two, which would have been tricky for some of them.

A Florida teacher is facing suspension for calling a 14-year-old Muslim student 'rag-head Taliban'. Deyab-Houssein Wardani, from Weston, said Maria Valdes first called him names in his French class at Cypress Bay High School last month when he walked in wearing a hooded sweater. 'And she said, "Oh, no, the Taliban is here",' he told WSVN. 'And at first I took it as a joke because I didn't really know what Taliban was. 'I raised my hand, and she said, "Yes, Taliban", and everyone just kind of laughed.' Over the next several days, the 64-year-old teacher, who often nicknames her students, continued referring to Deyab-Houssein as 'Taliban' - even calling him 'rag-head Taliban'. Scroll down for video . Hurt: Muslim student Deyab-Houssein Wardani, left, was repeatedly called 'Taliban' by his French teacher, to the anger of his father, Youssef Wardani, right. They have called for the teacher to be fired or suspended . The teenager, who is an honor role student and a Boy Scout, asked his parents what the word meant, and they were shocked when they learned where he had heard it. 'He's a 14-year-old boy,' his father Youssef Wardani, a Lebanese immigrant whose wife is from Morocco, told CBS Miami. 'He should not have to worry about these kind of actions from a teacher in a class in a school and in a state that advertises diversity.' The parents contacted the assistant principal of the school, and when asked about the name-calling, Mrs Valdes admitted that she had called their son 'rag-head Taliban', WSVN reported. The school then told the Wardanis that their son could move into another French class. 'Seriously!!' Mr Wardani wrote on a Facebook page detailing the incident 'She does the crime and he is the one to be punished.' Accomplished: The Wardani family, right, said their 14-year-old son 'DH' is a hard-working Boy Scout and honor roll student who should not have to worry about such name-calling - especially from a teacher . And when Mr Wardani asked the teacher about what she had said, her response was less than reassuring, he wrote on Facebook. 'She responded with huffing and puffing accompanied with rolling eyes and arrogance,' he wrote. 'She showed no remorse whatsoever!' He said that at first he only wanted an apology, but now he is calling for the teacher to be fired or suspended without pay for a year. Broward County Public Schools has launched an investigation into the incident. 'This situation is being taken seriously,' it said in a statement. 'The district launched an immediate investigation into the matter and will be bringing forward to the school board in March a recommendation for disciplinary action regarding this situation.' Taking action: Administrators at Cypress Bay High School said they are investigating.

The United Arab Emirates have been suspended by the International Equestrian Federation indefinitely over horse welfare and rule infringements in endurance events. Under the ban UAE riders will not be allowed to compete for their country in any international events, although they will be allowed to compete under an FEI flag in non-endurance disciplines outside of the Emirates. There has been growing concern over the treatment of endurance horses in the UAE and the world body recently stepped in to remove two endurance events in UAE from the winter season. Three horses were reported dead at the 74-mile Al Reef Cup in Abu Dhabi on February 1 and one, Splitters Creek Bundy, appeared to have broken both front legs. It was at the Al Reef Cup that Splitters Creek Bundy front legs appeared to collapse beneath him . Click here to read chief sports writer Martin Samuel's column from October 2013: Sport is not about driving horses to their deaths . FEI president Ingmar de Vos said the FIA's Bureau had been unanimous in suspending the UAE federation. 'The decision to suspend a National Federation is not something that is taken lightly and we only should do this if no other remedy can be found,' he said in a statement. 'Sadly this was the only option left, but we have to take our responsibility and must never be afraid of tackling major issues head-on. Where horse welfare is concerned the FEI has to show leadership and solve problems in a structural way without making any concessions.' De Vos said the FEI had hoped strict enforcement of new rules brought in on August 1 last year would reduce the numbers of 'catastrophic injuries' and fatalities in the UAE. Dubai’s Sheik Mohammed (right) takes part in an endurance race in the Jordanian desert . The statement was quite devastating. The International Equestrian Federation had removed the two remaining International Endurance events scheduled to be held in the United Arab Emirates in an emergency measure to protect horse welfare and preserve integrity. Put bluntly: some of the most respected horsemen in the world can’t be trusted to look after horses. Within days, Endurance Great Britain dropped a proposed blanket sponsorship from the Meydan Corporation, owned by Sheik Mohammed Al Maktoum, citing national and international pressures and sensitivities. With this scandal mounting for close on two years, it is incredible and embarrassing that Meydan got through the door, no matter how much money was at stake.

Roy Hodgson will travel to Russia for the preliminary 2018 World Cup draw after informing the Football Association he would like to continue as England manager for a further two years and have a second crack at the World Cup. Hodgson's decision to join the Football Association delegation in St Petersburg on July 25, when all confederations barring Asia will have their qualifying draws, could further fuel that speculation - but it is hardly unheard of for an outgoing coach to attend such official events. Roy Hodgson has told the FA he would like to continue as England manager for a further two years . Hodgson, Ray Lewington and Gary Neville during the disappointing World Cup in Brazil . The England manager and some of the player applaud supporters after their match against Costa Rica . Hodgson’s contract runs until next summer’s European Championship and no formal discussions have taken place to extend his deal. But Hodgson is enjoying the job, with his England side six points clear at the top of their Euro 2016 qualifying group after four straight wins. He has told senior members of the FA that, even at 67, he does not feel ready to retire. Hodgson is said to feel he has unfinished business after such a disappointing World Cup in Brazil last year and he would like to put his experience to good use in Russia in 2018. Hodgson certainly has significant support at Wembley. He received the backing of FA chairman Greg Dyke after England’s early exit in Brazil and he also enjoys a close working relationship with Dan Ashworth, the FA technical director who worked with Hodgson at West Bromwich Albion. Hodgson is said to feel he has unfinished business after such a disappointing World Cup in Brazil . With the array of young stars England have, Hodgson wants another chance at the World Cup in 2018 . Hodgson did receive the backing of FA chairman Greg Dyke after England’s early exit in Brazil . The FA will wait until a new chief executive has been appointed, who will, along with Dyke and Ashworth decide Hodgson’s future. It could well be that the FA take the sensible option of delaying a final decision until after Euro 2016 in France. Recently Hodgson hinted publicly that he does not feel ready to retire. ‘At the moment I feel good and I don’t feel anything like my age,’ he said. ‘I hope that will continue for a few more years. ‘I am confident that I will know what the right time is. But I have an important job to do which I really enjoy, so as for 2018 and 2020 we will see.’

Aimee Griffiths, 30, (pictured) told her two children to lie down and go to sleep as she started the blaze at their home in Ruabon, Wrexham . A mother-of-two set fire to the home she was being evicted from in a bid to kill herself and her two young children after hearing voices. Aimee Griffiths, 30, of Ruabon, Wrexham, told her two children to lie down and go to sleep as she started the blaze. But her 10-year-old daughter ran out of the house as the fire began to spread and raised the alarm. Heroically her neighbours - both in their sixties - were able to get Griffiths and her seven-year-old son out of the burning house despite Griffiths fighting to stay inside with the boy. She was 'grabbed by the scruff of her neck' and dragged out - and even then tried to get back in. Griffiths has now been jailed for five years and four months at Mold Crown Court after she admitted arson. Judge David Hale told her that what she did in the early hours of August 27 last year 'defied belief'. 'You were clearly intent on killing yourself and your two little children,' he said. 'You were on that day, without doubt, in mental turmoil.' The court heard she had been threatened with eviction and was not in a position to cope with a number of other pressures. The judge said: 'The fact remains that you intended to kill your children and yourself by setting fire to the house. 'If it were not for the tenacity of your daughter, determined to live, you may well have succeeded.' Judge Hale went on to praise the 'heroic intervention' of neighbours William and Eileen Bride. 'They are entitled to a most remarkable thanks from the community for what they did,' he said. The judge said that while on remand at Styal Prison in Cheshire Griffiths had made 'remarkable progress which was all credit to her'. The court heard Griffiths and her family had spent the previous afternoon playing bowls with her sister and friends. Griffiths set fire to the house with her family inside shortly after being told she was facing eviction . But she ended up fighting with her sister while drinking wine before buying another bottle to drink at home which culminated in her starting a number of fires in the early hours of the morning. John Philpotts, prosecuting, said Griffiths told the children to lie on the sofa and that 'everything would be all right'. But her brave daughter refused and ran out of the house to the house next door, the home of Mr and Mrs Bride. Mrs Bride, 62, tried to get into the house and shouted to Griffiths to come out, but Griffiths refused and demanded her daughter go back in. Mr Bride, 66, got into the burning house through the back door, braving thick black smoke to find Griffiths holding her son. The court heard she shouted at him to 'leave my kids alone' but he was able to grab the child and

Forget vivid shades and garish colours, the latest eyeshadow craze is to go nude — earthy and pink tones that mimic the natural colour of our eyelids. They make eyes look bigger and flatter older skin as they don’t crease or highlight wrinkles. The Duchess of Cambridge is a fan — last week she revealed her favourite eye make-up is Urban Decay’s Naked Palette. Here, Alice Smellie puts the latest nude eyeshadows to the test ... KATE’S MAKE-UP . Naked Palette, Urban Decay, £38, urbandecay.co.uk . SHADES OF NUDE: Twelve rich shades from deep cream to charcoal are presented in a fabric case with a mirror. They are applied with a double-ended, scarily large brush. APPLICATION: The cream looks startlingly white on my eyelids, but the bronze shades are easy to blend. Though thick, both ends of the brush are delicate enough to apply to my lids without dropping product onto my face. The thinner of the two ends draws a thick, dark line above and below my lashes. I look in the mirror and my eyes are smoky enough to hang out in a jazz club, but not overly gothic, and it lasts through a dog walk with a sprinkling of sleet, which is impressive. 9/10 . METALLIC MAGIC . La Palette Nude Rose, L’Oreal, £14.99, boots.com . SHADES OF NUDE: A slender compact with ten shades, from beige through rosy tints to a dark purple. Six have a subtle metallic sparkle. APPLICATION: You can’t go wrong with these! The shades are sheer so you don’t need a steady hand to apply it and can layer them on confidently. The darker shades look menacingly gloomy in the compact, yet they are so sheer on the skin that I end up using a dark brown rather than a bronze. The final look is age-appropriate for me in my early 40s, and it is light enough to wear in the day. When I catch sight of myself in changing room mirrors while out shopping, I look ten times less tired than usual. 8/10 . NEUTRAL TONES . Mini Eye Palette, No 7, £11, boots.com . SHADES OF NUDE: Eight Farrow & Ball-style shades: a deep cream, four similar-looking browns and three shades of grey. Application is via a double-ended brush. APPLICATION: The lightest shade looks mask-white on my eyelid. A lot of powder comes away as I swirl the brush over the eyeshadow. I find the brush too thick to apply a line along my lashes and it gives me a bruised look under the eyes. The result is messy. 4/10 . EYESHADOW PRO . Full Exposure Palette, Smashbox, £37, smashbox.co.uk . SHADES OF NUDE: There are 14 daunting looking colours with a double-ended blending brush. APPLICATION: I am amazed at how easily the brush swoops over my eyelids. I play around with three shades of bronze. But then I get over-confident: I attempt to draw a line with the charcoal and end up looking as though I’ve been up a chimney. 6/10 . PORTABLE TOUCH-UP . Eyes Uncovered Nude Palette, Collection, £3.99,

Phuoc Wagner, three, from Canada who received a life-saving liver transplant from her father, has had her long-awaited homecoming postponed after contracting norovirus. The toddler, who was possibly going to be released this week, remains in hospital as she recovers from the stomach flu. Phuoc and her twin sister Binh, adopted from Vietnam, were both in need of liver transplants because they suffer from Alagille syndrome, a genetic condition. Last month, their father Michael Wagner was able to give a portion of his liver to Phuoc - leaving him with an impossible decision after being a match for both girls, but only able to give the donation to one daughter. Following doctors' suggestions that he give the transplant to Phuoc since she needed it the soonest, they underwent surgery in February. The pair were reunited in a heart-warming moment shared by the family after the successful surgery. Scroll down for video . Phuoc Wagner (pictured above 17 days after her liver transplant surgery), three, who received a life-saving liver transplant from her father, has had her long-awaited homecoming postponed after contracting norovirus . Last month, her father Michael Wagner was able to give a portion of his liver to her, which left him to make an impossible decision after realizing he would only be able to give the donation to just one of his daughters (above Phuoc post surgery last month) The toddler remains in hospital while she recovers from the stomach flu (above a post about the delayed homecoming written by her mother, Johanne) Phuoc and Binh (the girls pictured above), adopted from Vietnam, were both in need of liver transplants because they suffer from Alagille syndrome, a genetic condition . The girls mother, Johanne, said that they are still waiting on a living donor for Binh as they continue to be patient for Phuoc's return home, according to ABC News. However in good news, reports last month said the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto had received 400 submissions from people offering to be a living donor for Binh. Mrs Wagner wrote on Facebook: 'No homecoming yet - norovirus is keeping Phuoc in hospital. And norovirus in my house as well. Home front needs to be clear before they can come home.' Only a few days ago, she had written of the reunion between the girls, and also her nervous feelings about welcoming Phuoc back after her surgery. Mr Wagner and daughter Phuoc went into surgery on February 10, and five days after the operation, the family posted a video of the moment father and daughter were reunited in Phuoc's hospital room. Mrs Wagner posted pictures of the reunion as well, and updated supporters on her husband and daughter's recovery . In the run-up to the surgery, Mr Wagner said it has been hard for him to accept that he could only help one of his girls (above, Phuoc pictured right, with her mother, left, holding Binh) 'Binh and Phuoc will soon be reunited. Talks of Phuoc's release from hospital this week. Some time spent together before Binh's transplant will

An Indonesian town was high on more than just life when police set fire to more than three tons of confiscated cannabis. Residents of Tangerang, 15.5 miles west of the capital Jakarta, reported suffering from headaches and dizziness after inhaling the tangy smoke given off by the bonfire. The 3.3 tons of marijuana were burned by Palmerah police at their subprecinct office in West Jakarta earlier this month. Indonesian police accidentally intoxicated the population of the entire town of Tangerang, 15.5 miles west of Jakarta, by holding a bonfire of 3.3 tons of confiscated marijuana outside a subprecinct office . The haul was valued at $1 million, according to Breitbart.com . Tangerang police chief Senior Commander Riad told The Jakarta Post his officers seized the stash in south Tangerang on February 2. Police wore masks to protect them from the fumes but watching civilians were left unprotected. The smoke spread from the yard to surrounding residents' houses. One resident named Deden said: 'I got a headache because I wasn't wearing a mask.' A journalist reported having to 'sit down and have a cup of tea' to deal with the high. Officers also destroyed 1.8 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine and 2,538 ecstasy pills by blending them. The destruction of the illicit substances was witnessed by several officials from the West Jakarta municipality. A police officer throws packages of cannabis onto a fire in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, in August last year. That blaze destroyed two tons of the drug while the latest one in Tangareng burned 3.3 .

From Burnley to Barcelona, the signposts all point to trouble ahead for Manchester City and their beleaguered manager Manuel Pellegrini. It will require his best win as City boss against Barca at the Nou Camp on Wednesday for Pellegrini to save the club’s Champions League dream and, possibly, his job. But City set out for Spain on Monday on the back of a dismal defeat at Turf Moor and a withering assessment of their shortcomings from Burnley’s match-winner George Boyd. George Boyd celebrates his sweet strike that saw Burnley upset Manchester City on Saturday . Burnley's Ben Mee tackles Pablo Zabaleta with the kind of physical presence he says helped them win . The Scot accused the Premier League champions of lacking both the appetite for a physical battle and willingness to track back and defend. It was something Burnley detected when they recovered to draw 2-2 at the Etihad in December and exploited again after analysing City’s defeat at Anfield earlier this month. ‘You saw it recently against Liverpool, they don’t track back as well as they go forward so we knew we could exploit that and we did,’ said Boyd, who scored with the sweetest of strikes after an hour. ‘I think it was playing to our strengths and getting in their faces that got us the win. You find with the bigger teams if you get in amongst them, press them hard and tackle they don’t really like it, and we did that. ‘I don’t think Barcelona will be in their faces as much as us and playing the long balls we play, but I thought we fully deserved the victory. ‘We didn’t think they would play as strong a team with Wednesday in mind, but obviously they came here to win and we were better than them.’ Boyd drills home his left-footed shot for the famous win against a side that goes to Barcelona on Wednesday . City boss Manuel Pellegrini is under pressure although his future will be decided at the close of the season . It is not the first time City’s work ethic has been questioned this season, but there appeared to be a deeper malaise. It was as bad as anything in the post-title slump under Roberto Mancini. They were flat, dull and at times almost uninterested. Everything that Burnley weren’t. Sportsmail’s Jamie Redknapp said it was the kind of performance that gets a manager the sack. No wonder Pellegrini’s agent was touting him to Napoli last week. There won’t be any knee-jerk reactions from City, however, Pellegrini’s performance will be assessed at the end of the season. City prepare to kick off after conceding the first goal at Turf Moor that they were unable to peg back . Edin Dzeko's attempt on goal is blocked by some desperate Burnley defence . The Chilean could yet mastermind a recovery in Barcelona and take City into the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time, having emerged from the first leg only 2-1 down. But apart from Samir Nasri and Aleksandar Kolarov this was

Summary: George Boyd scored as Burnley toppled Manchester City 1-0 on Saturday . The Scot said City weren't up for the physical battle and could be exploited . City go to Barcelona for the second leg of their Champions League tie . Manuel Pellegrini's side must overcome a 2-1 home loss to progress .
