'The animals are pretty much going unless we get serious funds now. It could happen in the next week or so. 'I am hopeful that people can help and that we will be here in the summer, then we can have a good financial boost. 'We've already had to close the reptile house. It looks like the camel will have to go, if things get any worse, the bird will have to go as well.' Anyone wanting to donate to save Eagle Heights Wildlife Foundation can do so here.

It won't come as much of a consolation after he was snubbed again by England manager Roy Hodgson, but West Ham midfielder Mark Noble has shown himself to be an impressive fisherman. Noble has been unwinding during the international break with Hammers team-mate Alex Song, and pulled out a monster on an early morning fishing trip. Song posted an image on Instagram showing Noble with a huge fish in his arms, evidently taking advantage of the extra time off he has been afforded as West Ham recharge ahead of a difficult Barclays Premier League run-in. West Ham midfielder Mark Noble caught a huge fish while enjoying time off during the international break . Noble is hoping that if he impresses further with West Ham, he will eventually get the call from England . Song posted: 'A man of many talents! Midfield And lakeside général!' with the image, clearly impressed at Noble's carp, which is thought to weight around 50 pounds. Noble has spoken in the past to Sportsmail about his passion for fishing, but admitted he has struggled to find team-mates who shared his love for the sport. ‘Modibo Maiga, Guy Demel and Momo Diame can’t understand how you go fishing and chuck them back,’ Noble explained in 2013. ‘They say, “Bring it in, I’ll eat it.” I say, “You’re not allowed to do that here!”’ Diafra Sakho, Winston Reid and Noble pose outside the Olympic Stadium, which West Ham move into in 2016 . Noble holds off the challenge of Sunderland midfielder Jack Rodwell in West Ham's 1-0 win at the weekend . The 27-year-old midfielder was disappointed to miss out on Hodgson's squad once again, even with a raft of injuries depleting the England manager's selection. But Noble still believes he can make it into the national squad ahead of next summer's European Championships in France if he knuckles down and keeps working hard with West Ham. ‘I have made it clear what I think about the situation and I would love to play for my country,' he said. 'Obviously at the moment it doesn't look like it is going to happen. ‘I will keep playing as well as I can at West Ham and enjoying it every week. You never know what will happen in the future.' Song, meanwhile, faces an uncertain future after it was revealed that West Ham's board hold serious reservations about signing him on a permanent deal from Barcelona. Sportsmail's Laurie Whitwell went fishing with Mark Noble back in 2013, read the full interview HERE. ‘You just switch off really,’ Noble said. ‘It’s so peaceful. You’re concentrating on your rods so you tend to forget about everything else. ‘I used to do a lot of fishing with my dad, usually in Beckton Boating Lake. That was a little bit different from this (at Honeypot Lakes in Essex) - there are no shopping trolleys here! Then I moved out and forgot how good it was. I’m pretty sure my mum sold all my gear. 'This summer I was on holiday in Florida, on an island called

A Silicon Valley venture capital firm has emerged victorious from a three-year high profile case accusing executives of gender discrimination. Reddit interim CEO Ellen Pao, 45, sued her former employer Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers for four counts of discrimination after she was fired. In a case that prompted a broad discussion about gender bias in the tech industry, Pao painted the firm as sexist, crude, and quarrelsome. On Friday, a jury of six men and six women rejected every claim after less than 72 hours of deliberation in San Francisco Superior Court. Scroll down for video . Lost: Ellen Pao (pictured after the verdict) sued her former employers for four counts of gender bias after she was fired. The Reddit CEO claimed her career crumbled at Kleiner after ending an affair with a partner . A jury of six men and six women rejected all of Pao's claims in San Francisco Superior Court on Friday . Over the course of three years, Pao told the court her career at the Silicon Valley firm crumbled after she ended a brief affair with partner Ajit Nazre, and was fired in 2012 when she complained. Pao, who is married to Wall Street financier Alphonse Fletcher Jr, said he 'falsely told her that his wife had left him' and 'engaged in offensive, obstructionist, and difficult behavior' until she 'succumbed' two or three times. After she ended the liaison, he started to 'retaliate', she claimed. At one point, she said, Nazre appeared at her colleague's hotel room on a business trip wearing nothing but a bathrobe, carrying a glass of wine, according to testimony. The court heard Ray Lane, a former partner, said the woman, Trae Vassallo, should have been 'flattered'. Kleiner countered that it investigated Nazre after Vassallo complained, after which he quickly left the firm. Pao's first claim, tabled in 2007, also accused senior partner Randy Komisar of giving her a Leonard Cohen book, Book Of Longing, filled with sexually explicit drawings and poems. Later, he asked her to dinner adding that 'his wife would be out of town'. The case played out as Silicon Valley saw a steady decline in the number of female venture capitalists. Recent figures collected by Babson College show six per cent of the venture capital is female, down from 10 per cent in 1999. With that backdrop, Pao's lawyers described Kleiner as a pressure cooker that was hostile toward women. One of Pao's mentors testified that subpar performance meant she was not promoted, rather than gender . The firm disputed those charges, presenting evidence that Kleiner went out of its way to hire women. During the case, the court heard one partner, Chi-Hua Chien, said women 'kill the buzz' as he argued only men should be invited to a dinner with Al Gore. John Doerr, once Pao's direct boss, told investigators she had 'a female chip on her shoulder'. And senior partner Ted Schlein rebuffed the feminist rallying call from Facebook's COO Sheryl Sandberg that women 'deserve a seat at the table'. He said: 'I really don’t think

Victor Valdes says he can have no complaints about sitting on the bench at Manchester United as he regards his rival David de Gea as the best goalkeeper in the world. Louis van Gaal won the race to sign Valdes in January, but his only appearances in a United shirt so far have come in the Under-21 side. Despite being a three-time Champions League winner, Valdes is yet to turn out for the senior team simply because De Gea's form has been nothing short of outstanding. Victor Valdes (right) says his compatriot and team-mate David de Gea (left) is the finest keeper in the world . The former Barca man admits he doesn't mind warming the Old Trafford bench if De Gea is No 1 . Valdes bears no ill feeling towards his fellow Spaniard though. He can only marvel at his performances. 'You are always waiting for your opportunity to play and train every day to show your performance to the manager,' the former Barcelona goalkeeper told United Uncovered. 'But now David is at a very, very high performance level. 'I think he is the most important goalkeeper in the world at the moment. So it is difficult [for me] to play and, of course, I must accept this. 'For me, the top [keeper] now is David. I see him every day in training. I watch him in every game, every week, and his performances right now are amazing.' Negotiations have begun between De Gea and United over an extension to his current contract, which expires next year. Negotiations have begun between De Gea and United over an extension to his current contract . If they are unsuccessful, Real Madrid will surely pounce to sign the 24-year-old, whose Madrid-based girlfriend Edurne Garcia made it clear that she is not a fan of Manchester this week. Valdes, 33, will have a tough job on his hands winning over the fans if he replaces De Gea in goal next season. 'Every week he makes saves to help the team so I am very happy for him and also for the fans,' said Valdes, who is contracted until the end of next season. 'I always hear them sing the song of David de Gea, so I think they are very happy with David for the level of performance he has shown in the last few years. I feel the fans are definitely very happy with the job he is doing.' De Gea's latest impressive display came on Monday when he prevented Alexis Sanchez and Santi Cazorla from making United's FA Cup exit to Arsenal even more painful. One of the few times De Gea has been upstaged this season came on December 28 when Hugo Lloris pulled off a number of excellent saves to earn Tottenham a 0-0 draw against United at White Hart Lane. United management team Louis van Gaal (left) and Ryan Giggs face the test of Tottenham on Sunday . De Gea still put in a top performance in north London, and on Sunday he is likely to be busy once

Betrayed: Controversial critic Brian Sewell revealed once-trusted friends have stolen his paintings . He has built an impressive art collection over a decades-long career as Britain’s most-feared critic. But now Brian Sewell has revealed that some of the works he has accumulated have gone missing – stolen by once-trusted friends. ‘It is surprising how unpleasant people can be,’ he tells Event magazine today. ‘How untrustworthy friends can become. ‘How somebody you think you can absolutely depend on will do something so mean that it astonishes you.’ None of Mr Sewell’s light-fingered visitors are likely to face justice since he has decided to not report the matter to police. The critic, who is suffering from cancer, refuses to identify those he holds responsible for betraying him but makes it abundantly clear that he knows who they are. The thefts have occurred over the past ten years and came to light recently when he started sorting through his belongings, bagging up old clothes for charity and consigning other unwanted items to the bonfire. Friends and acquaintances visiting his home in Wimbledon, South London, have made off with paintings and drawings, he says, and, when challenged, have denied all knowledge. However, Sewell has confessed that he occasionally indulged in similar behaviour himself when visiting friends’ homes – though on a much smaller scale. He said: ‘I have stolen the odd book myself. I have a theory that only men steal books, although when I proposed that to a woman a month or two ago she was absolutely outraged. ‘It’s not really books I’m worrying about – it’s small paintings and drawings which quietly disappear. You don’t know when they disappear but, when you think about it, it’s only... when people have been to the house. ‘This is betrayal. It makes me so angry and helpless because you can’t do anything about it.’ Sewell, whose trenchant views once led to leading figures in the art world demanding his dismissal as the Evening Standard’s art critic, also speaks –with some reluctance – about his illness. 'I have stolen the odd book myself,' the critic said. 'It’s not really books I’m worrying about – it’s small paintings and drawings which quietly disappear. It’s only... when people have been to the house' ‘I think a serene death with my dogs on the bed would be wonderful,’ he said. ‘It may still happen. I really don’t know.’ The 84-year-old has admitted to disliking children but loving animals – ironically as his latest book is aimed at youngsters. The White Umbrella, which has just been published, is about a wounded donkey found by a TV crew visiting Pakistan – and he says he wrote it as a ‘distraction’ from his radiotherapy. Last night he said he had confronted the ‘friends’ he suspected of robbing him but had failed to get any of the missing artworks back. ‘I have always done it face-to-face and I now know it isn’t worth doing because it simply gets worse – the lies don’t help.’

Summary: Thefts took place over the past ten years but only came to light recently . Feared critic noticed gaps in collection at home in Wimbledon, London . He has not reported the matter to police - but slammed friends' 'betrayal' The 84-year-old does, however, confess to stealing books in return .

Prosecutors are considering taking action over footage which shows a hunt follower's horse 'mowing down a anti-hunt protestor', in an incident which left the alleged victim with seven broken ribs. Nid Warren was trampled by the galloping horse while she attended the Blackmore and Sparkford Vale meet in Somerset last August. The 43-year-old suffered a collapsed lung and shattered ribs and was left unconscious on the ground following the dramatic incident. Scroll down for video . Prosecutors are considering taking action over footage which shows a hunt follower's horse 'mowing down a anti-hunt protestor' (pictured) , in an incident which left the alleged victim with seven broken ribs . Nid Warren was trampled by the galloping horse while she attended the Blackmore and Sparkford Vale meet in Somerset last August . The 43-year-old suffered a collapsed lung and seven broken ribs (pictured) and was also left unconscious on the ground following the dramatic incident . But five months after the event, Avon and Somerset police said no charges would be brought against Mark Doggrell, who had been arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm. The CPS said there was 'insufficient evidence that the incident could have been foreseen'. Mr Doggrell had initially rode away from the scene but later voluntarily handed himself in at a police station. But the organisation is now reviewing the footage, after 12,000 people signed a petition urging the organisation to reconsider charging the rider. The review is taking place under the Victims' Right to Review Scheme, a process brought into force in 2013. It allows victims to appeal against a decision not to bring charges or to discontinue a case once a prosecution has begun. The CPS said: 'We are in communication with the alleged victim and will be in contact with her when we have made a decision.' The hunt insists the rider is innocent. The injured woman, who has asked to use a pseudonym because she fears being targeted by pro-hunting groups, said she was left 'devastated' by the CPS's original decision. She said: 'I'm a victim of crime and feel absolutely abandoned by a system that's supposed to protect me. 'As I lay in hospital the only thing on my mind was "have they got this on video?" because I wanted to ensure it was looked at properly. I thought it was irrefutable evidence, the fact it was caught on video.' The organisation is now reviewing the footage (above), after 12,000 people signed a petition urging the organisation to reconsider charging the rider . The woman is seen being trampled as she stands with two fellow protestors at the meet in August . Ms Warren, who works full-time as an NHS health worker, had been at the meet at Charlton Horethorne near Wincanton, close to the Dorset-Somerset border, with colleagues from the Dorset Hunt Saboteur group when the incident occurred. She said she started 'sabbing' – a term used to describe hunt saboteurs protesting at fox hunts – in the aftermath of the badger cull. Saboteurs attended the planned hunt in a bid

Arsene Wenger has revealed that he was spat at whilst playing football in France - but that in those days he extracted his own revenge on the pitch. The Arsenal manager says that United defender Jonny Evans - who will be banned for the FA Cup quarter final against Arsenal on Monday - cannot expect any mercy in the modern age of global TV scrutiny. However, Wenger says the practice was more prevalent in former days when he played for RC Strasbourg in France, but that the lack of TV coverage meant it used to be less of an issue. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger reveals he was spat at while playing football in the French leagues . Jonny Evans appears to launch spit in the direction of the Newcastle United striker, who then retaliates . Wenger said: 'Today the television makes it worse. I've been subject personally to spitting. Maybe my tackle was not good enough. At the time nobody spoke about it. 'When I played in France, it happened before but you didn't see it on television. When you see it on television it of course makes it worse. I was angry (when it happened) but I could control myself.' Asked whether spitting deserved a six-game ban, Wenger said: 'I applied the sentence myself. I don't know the rules well enough. It is rules. We have to respect the rules. They have to apply the rules. Evans and Papiss Cisse clash near the half-way line at St James' Park following the unpleasant exchange . Manchester United defender Evans has received a six-match ban from the FA after the ugly incident . Cisse already served a three-match ban for violent conduct this season after elbowing Everton’s Seamus Coleman in December. As a result, the Newcastle striker gets an additional one-match suspension after admitting his guilt, while Evans gets six. But Wenger insisted that the likes of Evans and Papiss Cisse have to accept that their actions will incur punishments now that all games are scrutinised by millions of viewers worldwide. 'We have to pay a price for that. We are popular. We are watched all over the world. It gives us some responsibility as well. When you do not live up to it, you have to pay for it. How much it (the punishment) is, I do not care but you cannot say: 'Ok, it's nothing' when you see in on television. When little boys are watching the game, if your boy says to you: 'Is that right?' You cannot say: 'Yes.' 'We have to accept that. There are cameras everywhere, that means we are spied on always basically, from morning until night, and that's a little bit less freedom to go over the line sometimes. 'It's good, it's good. You know it's like now the doping story that is coming out in cycling now. Even if it's 10 years later, 15 years later, people will be less inclined to do it today because they think: 'Oh, for the rest of my life that could come out, so I won't do it.'

Jonny Brownlee had to settle for fifth place in the opening World Triathlon Series race of the season in Abu Dhabi. The Olympic bronze medallist paid the price for slipping towards the back of a large leading pack at the end of the bike leg and was unable to close the gap to leading trio Mario Mola, Vincent Luis and Richard Murray on the run. Brownlee then lost out in a sprint finish to Joao Silva of Portugal but did at least have the consolation of beating great rival Javier Gomez, who could only manage sixth. Jonny Brownlee came a disappointing fifth after a poor bike leg in the World Triathlon Series in Abu Dhabi . Gomez's Spanish compatriot Mola was the class of the field over the sprint distance and pulled away during the second half of the five kilometres run to clinch a comfortable victory. Jonny's brother Alistair missed the race because of a minor ankle injury but, with Olympic qualification to be decided in August and September at the test event in Rio and the world series Grand Final in Chicago, none of the leading triathletes will want to peak too soon. Jonny, 24, said: 'I wanted better than that. I messed up everything I possibly could. That's what the first race is about. 'I thought my running was going well, but obviously not so well off the bike. I got into it later on but it was too late then. I just need to iron out the mistakes and sharpen up a little.' Brownlee celebrates after winning the silver medal in the men's Triathlon Final at Strathclyde Country Park . The women's race was once again dominated by world champion Gwen Jorgensen of the United States, with a disappointed Jodie Stimpson the leading British athlete in 17th. Stimpson, who won gold at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow last year, missed the front bike pack and was unable to make up any ground on the run, with a niggling Achilles problem not helping. Britain's former world champions Non Stanford and Helen Jenkins along with Commonwealth bronze medallist Vicky Holland all chose to stay at home and continue their training. The next round of the series takes place in Auckland at the end of March. The Olympic bronze medallist competes in the Men's ITU World Triathlon sprint event chased by Vincent Luis .

Summary: Jonny Brownlee finished fifth during the opening race of the World Triathlon Series in Abu Dhabi after a poor bike leg saw him slip behind . The Olympic bronze medallist managed a fight back during the final leg . Spaniard Mario Mola won the opening race in impressive style .

One of the men expelled from Tanzania with Jihadi John is a close associate of ‘the Goebbels of Islamic State’, responsible for horrific videos of beheadings. Mohammed Emwazi was with German national Marcel Schrodl when they were stopped at the airport in Dar es Salaam in 2009. Now The Mail on Sunday can reveal that German intelligence has linked Schrodl to Denis Cuspert – the rapper whose role making videos for IS has been likened to that of Nazi propaganda chief Josef Goebbels. Scroll down for video . Mohammed Emwazi (left) has been linked to Denis Cuspert (right), a rapper responsible for the production of propaganda videos for ISIS . A grab from a video shows Emwazi (circled) leading the execution of 15 prisoners in Syria . Cuspert, who was a rapper under the name Deso Dogg, has appeared in an IS beheading video, holding up the severed head of a victim. It is believed he may also have produced the sickening footage of Emwazi murdering British and US prisoners with a knife. German authorities have linked him to Schrodl, one of the most dangerous Islamists on their radar, who they classify as ‘prone to violence’. Although he claims to have turned his back on fanaticism, Schrodl is believed to have forged links with Somali terror group Al Shabaab, an Al Qaeda affiliate. When a Mail on Sunday reporter spoke to Schrodl at his home in Dusseldorf about his links to jihadism, he said: ‘I don’t have anything to do with that any more.’ Some time later, outside the door of his seedy fourth-floor flat, he appeared flanked by two heavies, who made it plain that it was time for our reporter to leave. But his denials conflict with information from German intelligence agencies which regard him as a ‘person of interest’ in the ongoing fight against IS. Cuspert, who was a rapper under the name Deso Dogg, has appeared in an IS beheading video, holding up the severed head of a victim . Emwazi was expelled from Tanzania with one of Cuspert's associates in 2009. Cuspert (right) has been likened to the Nazi propaganda chief Josef Goebbels. Emwazi, Islamic convert Schrodl and Londoner Ali Adorus were stopped by the Tanzanian authorities at Dar es Salaam airport as they arrived for what they had claimed was an innocent safari holiday. Emwazi’s apologists have claimed the men’s detention – ‘on orders from MI6’ – as the first step on his road to radicalisation. Yet The Mail on Sunday has established that the supposedly strict Muslims were held not because of their political affiliations, but due to their drunken and violent behaviour on a Dutch KLM flight from Amsterdam to Dar es Salaam, according to the Tanzanian government. Schrodl is connected with some of the vilest figures in the radical Islamic network, most notably fellow convert Cuspert. German intelligence sources say both men were radicalised by Mohammed Mahmoud, the Austrian-born leader of banned Islamist group Millatu Ibrahim. In September 2013, Schrodl was stopped returning to Germany after a flight from Cairo. A search revealed

I spent a good chunk of my 20s in love - with my boyfriend Matt and with New York City, where we lived for five amazing, crazy years. He got a great job over there and I followed, leaving behind family, friends and my job. People thought I was mad to drop everything and run but I never had any doubts. And even if it had all gone wrong, I could always have flown back to life in Britain. Scroll down for video . Tying the knot: Matt and Liz looking nervous before their wedding ceremony at Manhattan’s City Hall- the same place Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw finally married Big . Liz and Matt pose in front of Brooklyn Bridge before their wedding in New York . When I needed to get a visa to stay, we thought about getting married, but then I landed a dream job and sorted out my own paperwork to keep working in the US. We became a tight-knit team of two and whilst other friends diligently alternated between his and hers families for Christmas, we did our own thing, eating turkey sandwiches from a corner deli, or inviting NYC friends for eclectic English/Ukrainian/French/Italian parties. When we got new jobs back in London and returned in the depths of winter it was a damp, dreary December nothing like the magical snowy Christmases we'd been used to. It was difficult adjusting to home when New York felt like our real home. But we cheered up when we got engaged in February and were looking forward to returning to Manhattan for a holiday in June. I don't know whose idea it was to get married in New York, but about a fortnight before our trip we both seemed to have the idea at once. It seemed so obvious because the city was such a huge part of our lives together. Sworn to secrecy! Best friend Robin Hobbs was the only witness to Liz and Matt’s wedding . Selfie time: The bride and groom were casually dressed in matching white and smiled for selfies on the way to their wedding . I looked into it and it was pretty straightforward - apply for licence, wait 24 hours, take one witness, turn up on the day and queue at New York's City Hall with all the other brides and grooms. I knew I had to tell my parents but it wasn't so much a matter of getting permission as casually dropping it into conversation at breakfast. 'We're thinking of getting married in New York,' I said. 'If you really don't want us to, we might not.' Stunned silence, then huge grins. Mum always maintains she knew we'd do it before we really knew ourselves. It was easy to keep quiet - our English friends just thought we were excited about the trip, and we swore our witness Robin to secrecy. He was our best friend, an Englishman in New York who'd recently moved to Boston and understood the pull of the city as much as we did. Wedding feast:

'The big change came yesterday on the fifth. I hit it left and was going to hack it when my caddie said there's three par fives on the back nine, let's take our punishment, take a drop and work from there. That kept reminding me about the back nine so it always keeps you in a good frame of mind.' England's Tommy Fleetwood also needs to win on Sunday to qualify for the Masters, but is five shots off the lead after struggling to a 73 which included a triple-bogey eight on the fifth.

She said: 'They're just animals - any human being who has any kind of respect would not do this. 'If I could I would inflict the same pain onto them 10 times over. It's just horrific. 'She was upstairs in her bedroom when we found her there covered in blood.' Mrs Hassan, who has short-term memory loss, is now in a stable condition at Queen's Hospital, Romford. Mrs Ahmadi said: 'My mum was very mobile but I feel this has definitely advanced her Alzheimer's - she's become very reclusive since she was attacked. 'If someone knows something they should come forward - it could have been their mother lying with terrible injuries in a hospital bed.' 'I won't rest until I find out who did this.'

Kim Kardashian does it. Jennifer Lopez does it too. And now Australian women are shelling out up to $3000 to learn how to do it. The Kardashians have turned the art of contouring, a technique that involves highlighting and shadowing the face, from a make up insider secret to something many women - and some men - have tried to master.

While the Kardashians are largely responsible for alerting the masses to the magic of contouring, Lilit credits Jennifer Lopez with pioneering the trend - even if her fans didn't know she was doing it at the time. 'JLo – it started with her. Scott Barnes, her former make up artist, created and then became a master of contouring,' Lilit says.

The 14 separate referrals, which span four decades, indicate the scale of the task police face in getting to the bottom of historic child abuse cases. The allegations include suppressing evidence, hindering or halting investigations and covering up offences because of the involvement of MPs and police officers. Documents seen by the Daily Mail indicate that up to four serving MPs could be questioned as part of their work. None of the public figures has previously been named publicly in connection with the scandal. It is understood that victims believe they could hold highly sensitive information about their abusers which could help further their inquiries. It was also claimed yesterday that a member of the Queen’s family and an MP were identified as part of a major child abuse inquiry. But the Sunday Mirror claimed the operation was shut down by the Crown Prosecution Service for national security reasons. One former Met officer told the newspaper: ‘I was in a car with two other vice squad officers. They were discussing a madam who had provided a girl of about 15 to Oliver Reed. ‘The detective sergeant said he had just had a major child abuse investigation shut down by the CPS regarding a royal and an MP. ‘He did not mention names, but he said the CPS had said it was not in the public’s interest because it ‘could destabilise national security’.’ Separately, further inquiries are being carried out into whether detectives were told to limit a child abuse investigation centred on the former MP Lord Janner. A home belonging to the 86-year-old peer, who was a Labour MP in Leicester for 27 years, was searched in 2013. Last year it was reported that in 1989 a detective sergeant had been told not to arrest Janner or search his home. Earlier this month Home Secretary Theresa May appointed Justice Lowell Goddard to head a public inquiry into historic child sex abuse. The senior

Summary: Four MPs could be questioned over 'Establishment sex ring cover-up' Scotland Yard have said they will go ‘where the evidence takes us' Former Rochdale MP Cyril Smith was held and freed seven times over 30 years by police investigating claims he was a paedophile. A Royal was identified in a suspected paedophile ring under investigation before it was shut down because it could ‘destabilise national security’. Flamboyant Welsh MP Leo Abse, who died in 2008, is under investigation by police after being named by three alleged survivors of child abuse. A serving MP is at the centre of at least one of the cover-up inquiries because his name was discovered in documents at the home of a paedophile in the early 1990s.


Alleged fraudster: Mark Malik, 33, managed to steal nearly $1 million from investors claims the SEC . A former traffic cop is accused of impersonating a hedge fund tycoon worth $100m and tricking Wall Street financiers into giving him $850,000. Mark Malik, 33, has been charged with fraud after he was allegedly caught out when investors started asking for their money back, according to the Wall Street Journal. He is also accused of spending the money on trips to the Statue of Liberty, online dating and sending investors threatening emails in which he pretended to be a werewolf after his scam was discovered. Malik stole $850,000 from 16 foreign and domestic investors starting in 2011, says a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) complaint released on Friday and is being held on $1m bail. He has pleaded not guilty to securities fraud. He could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. When investors reported Malik to the SEC for fraud he reportedly wrote an email from a non-existent employee saying that he died of a heart attack. ‘Mr. Malik has been (sic) passed away with the heart attack after accident. We will dissolve the fund shortly,’ the e-mail said. When faking his death didn't work, Malik allegedly sent a clip from a werewolf movie to the investor who he thought had reported him along with the words, 'that's what I think I am.' Malik allegedly told investors that he ran his own hedge fund that boasted assets of $100million, yet by the time he was caught the account for his Seven Sages fund was overdrawn by $310. This December, an industry publication reported on his successful launch of a second $100 million fund, called Wolf Hedge Global Strategy. He claimed that there was a $1billion deal to set his company public and that he was opening offices across the globe. However, the SEC says that Malik, whose full name is Moazzam Ifzal Malik, was once employed as a waiter, a traffic cop, and a security guard and doesn't have a college degree. Scroll down for video . Fake company: The SEC claims that Mark Malik, pictured on the website for his company Wolf Hedge, created false corporations and racked up false accolades in order to steal money for his lavish lifestyle . No higher education: Other than a few classes at Harvard's extension program, Mark Malik has no college degree despite his claims he went to Harvard and worked for numerous financial companies . When investors asked for their money back, Malik allegedly wrote them bizarre emails in reply. 'I AM CRYING, I AM A HUMAN BEING…NOT A MONEY MAKING MACHINE, I HAVE FEELINGS AND DREAMS,' he emailed one investor in February of last year. 'YEAH PUT ME IN JAIL GOOD JOB!' the email continued. He sometimes responded more affectionately with emails saying, 'you know that I love you.' 'I am going deer hunting,' was another bizarre response to an investor’s request from their money back.

Swiping through the air to control items on a screen conjure up images of the sci-fi technology seen in Minority Report. But a Norwegian firm has not only designed the system using an everyday smartphone, it has designed it to work from up to seven feet (2 metres) away. The system tracks a user’s hands movements using ultrasound to skip through images, play and pause videos and music, take selfies and control characters in online games. Scroll down for video .

And on a tablet, a music app and playback was controlled by virtually pressing the play button. A previous version, which measured gestures from 19 inches (50cm) away, was showcased at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January. This demo introduced Multi Layer Interaction (MLI) which lets mobiles and tablets display different content depending on the location and distance a user’s hand is from the device. By using technology that is already inside smartphones along with software that can sit on top of existing operating systems, Elliptic Labs hopes to launch the technology in handsets later this year.

They are bright green, so teen tiny that they sit comfortably on a pencil or fingertip - and too adorable that is it hard to believe they are actually real. New veiled chameleon hatchlings have just popped out into the world at Sydney's Taronga Zoo and their almost cartoon-like looks are already winning the world over. Two of the final three clutches of the eggs have already hatched this week with the third in the process of producing the last of the seriously cute critters. More than 20 baby chameleons, which are currently only 5cm long but will grow to about 30cm, are the first born at the zoo in over five years.

Martin 'Mad Dog' Allen returns with his latest column for Sportsmail. The Barnet manager admires Jose Mourinho's courage in playing Kurt Zouma against Tottenham but takes aim at the sluggish strikers currently masquerading as Manchester United stars. MOURINHO'S GOT BALLS! Chelsea manager Mourinho threw Kurt Zouma in against Tottenham to shield the back four, to stifle and stop the opposition in the League Cup final. They were rewarded with a clean sheet. How many managers would have the confidence to play a centre-back in central midfield in a cup final at Wembley? In front of 90,000 fans and millions watching across the country - across the world. It must be said, Mourinho’s game management is second-to-none. It was no surprise that their goal in that game came from a set play and their second on the counter attack. Jose Mourinho's game management is second-to-none, particularly when it matters most . He soaks up the pressure, waits for the game to open up and frustrate the opposition. He knows within his ranks he has game winners who will score. The work ethic he has drawn from those technically brilliant players is astounding. His ranting and raving about the injustices from referees puts pressure on the officials into giving Chelsea better decisions. He is the master at it and keeps all the attention and focus off his player. But above all, he’s got balls. The Chelsea manager threw youngster Kurt Zouma in to protect the back four against Tottenham . SLIPPING AT THE TOP . The pressure, the anxiety, the expectancy, not rotating enough? What is it about the top teams slipping up at this point in the season? Getting close to the finishing line, you start looking over your shoulder. We all know running a race it’s better to chase a person in front than to be looking behind you. I don’t know the answers, I wish I did. In the Championship we’ve seen Bournemouth fall from the top, Wycombe Wanderers have done in League Two, my club Barnet have fallen behind in the Conference. Even Mourinho’s Chelsea had a blip, although they are managing it well. We see it right across all sports. We see it in golf in the Masters every Sunday night at Amen’s Corner. We see it when cricketers get into the 90s and are chasing a century. We see it in darts when the players start missing doubles. Over the next two months, the teams who come out on top will be the ones with the goal-scorers, who maintain their self belief throughout it all. Eddie Howe has seen his Bournemouth side slip away from the top of the Championship recently . UNITED’S SLUGGISH STRIKE FORCE . How slow is Radamel Falcao? And Robin Van Persie has lost half a yard of pace from his days at Arsenal. You can’t fault Falcao for his work ethic and atittude. He most definitely has that. But he lacks a yard or two of explosive speed. Manchester United have crept up on to the shoulders of the Champions League places, but

Summary: Kurt Zouma's switch to in front of the back four was a masterstroke . Chelsea won the Capital One Cup thanks to Jose Mourinho's tinkers . Manchester United are struggling up front with players who are too slow . Neighbours Manchester City are missing something in their DNA .


More than 300 young people in Oxfordshire were groomed, raped and sometimes forced into 'sex slavery' by gangs over the last 15 years, a damning report will reveal tomorrow. In a scandal startlingly similar to the one in Rotherham, police and social services will be criticised for failing to protect vulnerable children from sexual abuse. One gang of Asian men was responsible for abusing and enslaving 50 girls, mainly from Oxford, but the men were also able to sexually torture girls as young as 11 for eight years after a series of missed opportunities to stop them. Scroll down for video . Abuse: More than 300 young people, mainly from Oxford, pictured, were groomed, raped and sometimes forced into 'sex slavery' by gangs over the last 15 years, a damning report will reveal tomorrow . Tomorrow the county's safeguarding children's board will publish a review into 15 years of child exploitation, which will be 'brutal' in its condemnation of the authorities. The victims, who were mainly girls under the age of 16 in the care system, were targeted by men from mainly Asian gangs who raped, tortured and trafficked them for sex between 1999 and 2014. Some were abused for up to eight years despite asking for help from the authorities, who instead refused to believe them or blamed them. Their abusers fed them drink and drugs before taking them to graveyards, a B&B and flats rented just for the rape and torture of children. According to the Guardian, one 12-year-old girl was taken to a Reading house for a backstreet abortion during a six-year period where she was passed between groups of men who raped her in what she called 'torture sex'. The plight of the victims was laid bare in 2013 when seven members of a sadistic gang were jailed for a total of 95 years for their 'depraved' and 'evil' abuse of vulnerable girls. Five gang members were given life sentences and two others were jailed for seven years for 'crimes of the utmost gravity'. The paedophile network groomed more . than 50 vulnerable girls in Oxford between 2004 and 2012 with gifts, . alcohol and drugs before subjecting them to extreme physical and sexual . violence. They used knives, meat cleavers and baseball bats to inflict severe pain on the girls for their twisted pleasure. But a catalogue of opportunities to stop the abuse was missed as early as May 2005. Jailed: Brothers Akhtar Dogar (left) and Anjum Dogar (right) were each given a life sentence with a minimum of 17 years at the Old Bailey in 2013 for their role in the Oxford abuse . Abusers: Mohammed Karrar (left), 38, was given life with a minimum of 20 years for the 'dreadful offences' he committed against the girls. His brother Bassam Karrar (right), 34, was also handed a life sentence with a minimum of 15 years . Attackers: Kamar Jamil (left), 27, was jailed for life with a minimum term of 12 years while Assad Hussain (right) , 32, was sentenced to seven years in prison .

Ben Carson stated in an interview on Wednesday that he thinks being gay is 'absolutely' a choice. The potential Republican presidential candidate then used the example of prisoners to provide support for his statement. 'Because a lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight — and when they come out, they’re gay,' said Carson. Scroll down for video . Ben Carson (above) said in an interview on Tuesday that he believes being gay is 'absolutely' a choice . The comments were made during an interview on the CNN program New Day when host Chris Cuomo asked the retired doctor if he did in fact believe that being gay was a choice. Carson followed up his comment by implying that something happens to incarcerated individuals while behind bars that makes them choose to be gay. 'So did something happen while they were in there?' he said. 'Ask yourself that question.' He then went in on the issue of gay marriage. 'Why do gay people want to get married? Why do they say they want to get married? Because they want to have various rights -- property rights, visitation rights,' he said. 'Why can't any two human beings, I don't care what their sexual orientation is, why can't they have the legal right to do those things? That does not require changing the definition of marriage.' For this reason he said he believes marriage should be decided at the state level, this on the same day the Alabama Supreme Court ignored a federal ruling and in a near unanimous vote ordered the state's probate judges to stop issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. Carson is in favor of civil unions. Carson has long been outspoken when it comes to his opinions on gay marriage, which he compared to bestiality and pedophilia in a 2013 speech. In an interview with Sean Hannity, Carson said; 'My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. It's a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality. It doesn't matter what they are.' He continued by saying; 'They don't get to change the definition. So he, it's not something that is against gays, it's against anybody who wants to come along and change the fundamental definitions of pillars of society. It has significant ramifications.' The comments came as a shock at the time as up to that point Carson has come across as an affable and moderate Republican in a series of interviews. The backlash was so strong, especially among young Americans, that Carson was forced to withdraw from delivering the commencement address at his alma mater Johns Hopkins. Earlier this week Carson launched an exploratory committee to run for president, becoming the first high-profile Republican candidate to potentially enter the 2016 race.

China's space authorities have announced plans to launch over 40 different spacecrafts into orbit in 20 separate launches this year. One of the vessels to be launched is the ground-breaking Yuanzheng 1 - also known as the 'space bus' - which can launch 10 different satellites at once. 2013 was a massive year for China whose scientists launched 16 spacecraft to firmly establish their cosmic credentials. In October 2003, it became only the third country in history to independently launch a manned mission into space on the Shenzhou 5. Ground-breaking: One of the 40 aircraft China plans to put into orbit is the Yuanzheng 1 'space bus' which can carry 10 satellites into space and restart its engines over 20 times . Historic: In December 2013, China's Chang'e-3 lunar probe became the first object to soft-land on the moon since the Soviet Union's Luna 24 in 1976 . A spokesman for the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation said the vessels going up this year will mostly be 'communication satellites' orbiting at around 36,000ft. Director of its Space Department Zhao Xiaojin added: 'There will also be some remote sensing satellites sent up to observe the earth as well as navigation satellites.' Chinese space authorities also said a number of 'cutting edge' technologies will be tested for the first time, including the highly anticipated 'space bus'. The Yuanzheng 1 is China's largest ever rocket with a diameter of 5.2 meters. It needs to be assembled at the launch site because trains carrying it would not be able to pass through tunnels. Its engine can restart over 20 times when flying in orbit and it is thought to be 75 per cent more efficient than spacecraft of the same size. It also has the capability to move old, scrapped satellites out of useful orbit and into so-called 'cemetery orbits' to prevent them from hindering other space-faring vehicles. In December 2013, the Chang'e 3 lander - named after the Chinese moon goddess - became the first object to soft-land on the moon since the Soviet Union's Luna 24 in 1976. China's National Space Administration operated the mission which incorporated a robotic lander and the country's first ever lunar rover. Exploration: In June 2012, the Shenzhou-9 carried China's first female astronaut Liu Yang into space . Cosmic: A spokesman for the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation said the vessels going up this year will mostly be 'communication satellites' The county announced its aspiration to carry out deep space exploration in September 2010 and planned to send a man to the moon by 2025. Mr Xiaojin says work is also continuing to extend China's lunar program, adding: 'We have made breakthroughs in most of the key technology needed for the Chang'e-5 mission [which is expected to land on the Moon by 2017]. 'This year we will conduct more ground tests, particularly ones involving theconditions which will imitate the environment on the moon.' Meanwhile, the Chinese government has already begun opening up its its lunar exploration program to private investment.
