Detectives investigating the death of a Jerry Springer producer's disabled sister now believe that she never wanted to commit suicide and was in fact murdered by her bankrupt sister, according to a shocking new report. Jill Blackstone claims she was carrying out her sister Wendy's wishes for a suicide pact when Wendy, 49, suffocated to death March 14 in the garage of their Los Angeles home earlier this month. Jill told police she meant to die as well, but got cold feet and called a friend for help at the last second. Jill Blackstone (pictured left after her sister's death) says her disabled sister Wendy (right) died during a botched suicide pact in which both women intended to take their own lives . Now, detectives believe that Jill intended to murder her sister, who was deaf and partially blind, and that Wendy never agreed to a suicide pact, according to TMZ. The Daily Mail Online has previously reported that Jill Blackstone, a 52-year-old talk show producer who had worked on 'The Jerry Springer Show' and for Dr Drew, was drowning in $1.4million of debt and owed $122,000 to her sister Wendy. Police who responded to the scene arrested Jill Blackstone, 52, for murder, but later released her when the District Attorney ordered the case sent back to LAPD detectives for more investigation. Detectives determined early in the investigation that a suicide note that was supposedly written by Wendy had in fact been written by Jill, according to TMZ. According to court documents filed three years ago, Jill Blackstone owed her sister Wendy $122,000. Wendy died in the garage of their $950,000 home in Studio City in Los Angeles . According to court documents Jill filed when she declared bankruptcy three years aog, she owed her sister $122,000 from a 2010 loan. She had more than $1.4million debts and about $700,000 in assets. The two sisters had recently sold their $950,000 home in Studio City in Los Angeles, but were still living in it while they waited for the new owners to take possession of the property and demolish it. The two sisters also ran a dog rescue agency to found homes for unwanted pets. Three of their dogs were found dead in the garage where Wendy was found dead from asphyxia.

Summary: Jill Blackstone says she and her sister Wendy planned to kill themselves in a suicide pact . Wendy died of asphyxia on March 12, but Jill said she got cold feet at the last second and pulled out . Now police say there was no suicide pact and that Jill murdered her sister, who was deaf and partially blind, according to a new report . Jill was $1.4million in debt and owed her sister $122,000 .


Andrea Barzagli has rejected recent criticism aimed at Italy coach Antonio Conte for including two foreign-born players in his squad to face Bulgaria and England. The Juventus centre-back defended his manager, who has come under fire from Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini among others for his choice to select Eder and Franco Vazquez, who are both Brazilian-born and Argentinian-born respectively. Speaking in a press conference ahead of Saturday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Bulgaria, Barzagli was keen to welcome the duo to the squad. Italy defender Andrea Barzagli has responded to recent comments made against naming foreign-born players . Italy boss Antonio Conte came under fire from Roberto Mancini for naming Eder and Franco Vasquez . Brazilian-born Eder of Sampdoria gained Italian citizenship through some distance relatives of his . Franco Vasquez of Palermo is eligible to play for the national side because his mother was born in Italy . 'There have always been oriundi,' Barzagli said, using the Italian word for foreign-born players. 'There are rules, if they can be called up it's right that they have been because that means they are doing well in the league. 'I don't see why there should be debate, other nations have them, too. If they are good, if they can give us a hand, they're welcome in the national team.' The 33-year-old, who has 50 caps at senior level, admitted that in the face of criticism his international boss always puts the team first. Marco Verratti (right) joins in the action during a training session at Coverciano on Tuesday . Borussia Dortmund forward Ciro Immobile brings the ball under control during a passing drill . Paris Saint Germain goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu does his best to keep out a shot during shooting practice . 'Conte? He's very forthright, he says what he thinks and goes his own way. It's normal that he can create controversy if he knows that certain decisions will benefit the National Team.' However, with Euro 2016 likely to be the veteran defender's last major tournament for his country, Barzagli hopes that the likes of 20-year-old Sampdoria defender Alessio Romangoli can fill his shoes. 'I can't see myself still in Azzurro [the Italy squad] after the Euros, primarily because I'll be over 35. I'm not a player like [Gianluigi] Buffon or [Andrea] Pirlo who can keep going until 40. 'So I hope that young defenders like [Alessio] Romagnoli can take over for the National Team. There needs to be rejuvenation, definitely.' Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci concentrates on the ball as he works on his touch in training .

Summary: Andrea Barzagli sees no reason why foreign-born players cannot feature . He'll welcome Brazilian-born Eder and Argentinian-born Franco Vazquez . Juventus defender responded to Roberto Mancini's opposition to the idea .


A sex killer who is currently serving life for four rapes and three murders is planning to appeal his sentence - and wants police to dig out more than 6,000 documents to help him. David Mulcahy and his schoolfriend John Duffy became known as the 'Railway Rapists' after trawling train lines targeting lone victims in London and south east England in the 1980s. Duffy was jailed for life in 1988, but it was not until 2001 that he named his accomplice as 55-year-old Mulcahy from Chalk Farm in north London and he was also jailed. David Mulcahy, 55, (pictured in 1999) who was dubbed one half of the 'Railway Rapists', is appealing his prison sentence. He wants the Metropolitan Police to release all records about him to prove his innocence . Despite the conviction, Mulcahy has maintained he is innocent and wants the Metropolitan Police to release every single detail they have about him on their records. He took the force to court today and told a judge that the documents are vital in proving his innocence. But officers have refused to release the information, saying it could take weeks or even months of costly work to get it together, and it would be 'disproportionate' to make such a huge effort. John Potts, Metropolitan Police data protection officer, told Central London County Court that the documents, if piled on top of each other, would be more than three feet high. John Duffy (left) was jailed for life in 1988 but didn't name his accomplice as Mulcahy until 2001 (right) He added that to work through the 6,000 documents would take 23 full working days and would likely lead them to more documents that would eat up a similar amount of time. There would also have to be meetings with victims' families, senior officers and others mentioned in the papers before they could be released, he said. The force's barrister, Robin Hopkin, said: 'My client has provided all the information it holds that can be provided without it undertaking disproportionate levels of burden in terms of cost and time.' But Mulcahy, appearing via a video link from Full Sutton Prison, said the force is obliged under the Data Protection Act to give him everything he wants. Mulcahy is jailed at maximum-security prison Full Sutton, near York, where he appeared from via videolink to Central London County Court today . 'I should be entitled to all the documents that the police hold,' he told Judge Margaret Langley. 'I am preparing an appeal and I need those documents for the appeal. I am fighting for liberty and life.' The judge said a decision on the case would not be made until later this year. Mulcahy was given three life sentences for the murders of Alison Day, 19, Dutch schoolgirl Maartje Tamboezer 15, and newlywed Anne Lock, 29, in 2001. David Mulcahy and John Duffy were described chillingly as 'two bodies with one brain' for the way they hunted for women to rape and murder. Mulcahy and Duffy were drawn together as a pair of 11-year-olds

Summary: David Mulcahy and John Duffy were known as 'Railway Rapists' in 1980s . They targeted lone victims on train lines in London and south east England . Mulcahy, 55, wants Metropolitan Police to release all their records on him . He took force to court and said documents are vital in proving innocence . But officers refused to release information saying it would take 23 full days .

Bookings: Tito, Trashorras, Aquino . Sent off: Tito . Rayo Vallecano are more used to lunchtime kick-offs than Barcelona but Suarez had no problems with the early start as he put the home side ahead after just six minutes. He received the ball from Xavi having sprung Rayo’s adventurous offside trap and, with the outside of his right boot, spun a shot past the advancing Cristian Alvarez. It was one of his best goals since joining the club, and it was also his ninth since the turn of the year. Barcelona should then have wrapped up the three points in the next 20 minutes but were wasteful in front of goal and unfortunate with a penalty decision that went against them. First Suarez was sent racing away once again as Rayo persisted with a suicidal high defensive line but his cross to Pedro was cut out by a recovering defender. The former Liverpool striker then went through on Alvarez but was bundled down from behind by Abdoulaye Ba only for the referee to wave play on.

He has also been threatened by fellow Australian Khaled Sharrouf who fights with Islamic State. During the SBS interview, the senior leader said IS worked at 'delegitimising the rest of the Muslim community' by naming themselves as the 'exclusive bearers of Islam'. On the other hand, he said Jabhat al-Nusra wanted to 'restore the right of the Muslim people to choose their leaders independently'. They are one of the major forces battling the regime headed up by Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. Abu Sulayaman said they also wanted to established a governing system based on Islam known as 'shura'. Shura is the Arabic word for consultation, which according to the Koran is a beneficial practice. After Rahman's death, his wife - known as Umm Jihad on social media - tweeted a photo of his dead body . Rahman was also friends with Mohamed Elomar - a Sydney boxer who fled to Syria to fight with Islamic State . Last year, Elomar was pictured on social media holding up severed heads and smiling at the camera . 'Every society needs a penal code... we have a penal code in which punishments are appropriate to the crimes committed and act as a deterrent to others,' the extremist group leader said. 'Islam to us is whole and complete and that does include corporal and capital punishment.' It comes as it is revealed the latest Australian to die in the conflict, Suhan Rahman, was a convicted criminal before her fled to the Middle East to fight for IS. New details have

The Nigerian presidential elections has been won by the opposition party for the first time in the country's history. General Muhammadu Buhari beat incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan by 2.1million votes in a historic win which has seen thousands take to the streets in celebration. Jonathan conceded this afternoon and called 72-year-old General Buhari to congratulate him, Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka said. Scroll down for video . Bad luck, Jonathan: General Muhammadu Buhari, 72, (right) beat incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan(left) by 2.1million in a historical opposition win . Jonathan's concession came before the final announcement of election results by the Independent National Electoral Commission and as Buhari prepared to address the nation. After the votes from the country's 36 states and small Federal Capital Territory were in this evening, Buhari was found to have won with 15.4 million votes against Jonathan's 13.3 million. The win marks the first time in Nigeria's history that an opposition party has democratically taken control of the country from the ruling party. General Buhari, who has previously made three failed attempts to win the presidency, ruled Nigeria from 1984 until mid-1985, after a seizing power in a military coup. His brief dictatorship saw him rule the nation with an iron fist, jailing people for trivial missteps such as public littering, and punishing civil servants who arrived late to work with gruelling physical exercises. Buhari was eventually was overthrown by his own soldiers after attempting to cover up Nigeria's deepening economic crisis, by silencing the press and jailing journalists. Supporters: Residents celebrate the anticipated victory of Buhari in Kaduna, northern Nigeria . Big win: General Buhari has enjoyed most support in the mainly Muslim north, but also won several key-states in the Christian southern states . Incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan, seen voting in his home town at Ward 13 in Otuoke, Bayelsa state, on Saturday, has reportedly called General Buhari to congratulate him on his win . Buhari's fourth, and successful, bid for presidency was made possible by the formation of a coalition of Nigeria's major opposition parties two years ago, the All Progressives Congress (APC). A united opposition and its choice of Buhari as a single candidate presented the first real opportunity in the history of Nigeria to oust a sitting president. Buhari has also been able to count on considerable voter dissatisfaction with the performance of Goodluck Jonathan, who has been president since 2010, and his failure to take proper action against Boko Haram. In Kano state, where Boko Haram's guerilla war on the civilian population has been most prominent, Buhari delivered a crushing defeat to Jonathan, winning 1.9 million votes for Jonathan's 215,800. This came despite Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau vowing to disrupt the election, which the group sees as 'un-Islamic', prompting unprecedented security measures at polling stations. Buhari has promised to stamp out the insurgency in the north, which has seen the Islamist group murder tens of thousands of civilians, kidnap hundreds of young girls and force more than 1.5 million people from their homes. When Buhari's win was announced, spontaneous celebrations sprang up

Summary: Muhammadu Buhari has won the Nigerian presidential elections . Beat incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan by 2.1million votes . First time the opposition has won a democratic presidential vote . This is 72-year-old General Buhari's fourth run at the presidency . Buhari previously ruled Nigeria in 1984-1985, after a military coup . His strict ruling eventually saw him ousted by his own soldiers .


It sounds like a scene from a science fiction film but if one food concept designer has her way this is how everybody will be eating in the near future. While 3D food-printing technology is not a new thing, the invention of this self-growing snack that makes its own filling could change the way we consume food, forever. The Edible Growth project is the brainchild of Dutch concept designer Chloé Rutzerveld who conceived of the idea to show that high-tech or lab-produced food does not have to be 'unhealthy and unnatural.' Scroll down for video . The Edible Growth project is the brainchild of Dutch food and concept designer Chloé Rutzerveld . Embedded in a pastry shell are seeds, yeast and spores, which take between three to five days to fully mature . The snack is a pastry shell embedded with seeds, yeast and spores, which take three to five days to mature, after which it is ready to be consumed. On her website Ms Rutzerveld explained in a video: 'The Edible Growth Project is about creating a fully edible ecosystem with living organisms in which the base gets printed by a 3D-printer and gradually develops towards a fully-fledged dish.' Multiple layers containing seeds, spores and yeast are printed according to a personalized 3D file. Within five days the plants and fungi mature and the yeast ferments the solid inside into a liquid. The product’s intensifying structure, scent and taste are reflected in its changing appearance. Depending on the preferred intensity, the consumer decides when to harvest and enjoy the delicious, fresh and nutrient-rich edible. According to Ms Rutzerveld, the project is an example of high-tech but fully natural, healthy, and sustainable food made possible by combining aspects of nature, science, technology and design. Edible Growth makes use of natural processes like fermentation and photosynthesis and lowers the use of resources. She explained: 'It shows that high tech food doesn't have to be unhealthy or unnatural, but that it can actually have a lot of advantages. 'The printer is not only used as a kind of shaping machine in which material A gets in and also comes out in another shape but it is used to create innovative food that truly contributes to solving the world's food problems.' The snack in its various stages: 3D-printed nylon prototype (left) and growth test to see if it will take (right) Success: The inner workings of the Edible Growth prototype which shows mushrooms and sprouts . The food designer aims to use the new food technology to create natural, healthy, sustainable and nutrient rich food that cannot be made with traditional production methods. 'With Edible Growth a lot of unnecessary stages of the food chain disappear with as result a reduction of food waste, food miles and CO2 emission. At the same time the consumer will become more involved and conscious about the food they eat,' she continued. The product is built from several layers, with an outer shell of crust made of dough or pasta, and on the inside spores, seeds, yeast and edible

Happy: Abbi Jillians has been given a pink hand through the pioneering 3D printer technology . The first thing four-year-old Abbi Jillians wanted to do when scientists gave her a new hand was brush her Barbie doll’s hair. The youngster – who was born with a just a thumb on her left hand – has been given the pink hand through the pioneering 3D printer technology. She has now been using her new hand to pick up objects around her house, ride her bike, and even pinch her dad on the bottom. Full-time mum Julie Jillians, of Tavistock, Devon, started a campaign to find local access to a 3D printer three months ago and said the new hand had revolutionised her daughter’s life. The 47-year-old said: ‘When we got home, the first thing she did was pick up her dolly so she could brush her hair with two hands. ‘That is one thing she always wanted to do. She had always loved her dolls and wanted to dress them - but I ended up always having to do it for her. ‘It is amazing and wonderful to see her do it herself. She is just like any other girl - Barbie is her favourite. ‘This is just so special for Abbi. The smile on my daughter’s face is from ear to ear with a bow round the back. ‘I am now finding things all over the house. There are apples upstairs. She’s even managed to pinch her daddy’s bum. ‘It’s fantastic. The determination on her face is the sweetest thing, and the fact she’s willing to receive the hand and willing to work at learning to use it.’ The hand works by opening and closing when Abbi bends her wrist up or down. It has a Velcro which straps around her palm and the gauntlet sits on her arm. Abbi had an operation at 18 months old, taking parts of her toes to give her a bigger palm, and replacing the toes with hip bone. But her mother said she and husband Jim, 34, would not consider any more operations after seeing the success of her hand. She said: ‘It is fantastic and we just can’t stop her using it. She wants to wear it all the time and cannot believe what she has now got. New lease: Julie Jillians says the pink hand has changed Abbi's life and the four-year-old has been testing out the new kit by picking things up and putting them down all over the house . Abbi's hand costs around £50 in materials to print a hand, so new limbs can be created as she grows . ‘She is still building up her strength and getting used to it - and she cannot hold anything too heavy. ‘But she is going around picking everything up, from cups to fruit, and playing with all the toys she was never able to before. ’She loves dress-up as well and is finding that a lot easier now she has two hands. Abbi's hand is among designs available on a global

Summary: Abbi Jillians, 4, was born with just a thumb on her left hand . She now has a pink prosthetic hand through 3D printer tech . It costs £50 to print, so new limbs can be created as she grows .

Photos of US ambassador to South Korea Mark Lippert meeting with the country's leaders have emerged for the first time since the envoy was attacked by a knife-wielding pro-North Korean activist. Lippert is recovering at Severance Hospital in Seoul, and was able to meet with US Navy Admiral James Winnefeld as well as members of South Korea's ruling and opposition parties. Police are charging the activist, Kim Ki-jong, 55, with murder after he slashed the ambassador while screaming demands for Korean reunification. The attack Thursday on Lippert, at a forum about reunification, prompted rival North Korea to gloat about 'knife slashes of justice,' that left deep gashes and damaged the ambassador's tendons and nerves.

On the mend: Leaders from the ruling Saenuri party met with Lippert on Sunday as authorities work to investigate activist attacker Kim Ki-jong . North Korean state media said the attack was 'deserved punishment'. Lippert, 42, is recovering well but has complained of pain in the wound on his left wrist and a finger where doctors repaired nerve damage, Severance Hospital official Yoon Do-Heum said in a televised briefing. Doctors will remove the 80 stiches on Lippert's face on Monday or Tuesday and say he could be out of the hospital on Wednesday. Hospital officials say he may experience sensory problems in his left hand for several months. Police, meanwhile, searched the offices of the suspect for documents and computer files as they investigated how the attack was planned and whether others were involved . Kim was detained on Friday and police seized 30 copies of books and print materials from his home, some of which were pro-North Korea, according to Yonhap News. Dumbfounded: Kim was arrested in the immediate aftermath of the attack on Lippert on Thursday morning, which left the ambassador covered in blood . Taken by surprise: Injured Ambassador Lippert is seen leaving the performing arts center where he was slashed by Kim Thursday morning . Suspect: Police are seeking an attempted murder charge against Kim Ki-jong, who they say slashed the envoy while screaming demands for Korean reunification . Having material in support of Pyongyang is not illegal, but distributing material propagandizing the isolated communist regime is banned in the South. Authorities plan on charging Kim with attempted murder, violence against a foreign envoy and business obstruction. A further charge of violating South Korea's National Security Law, which bans South Koreans from publicly sympathizing with the North Korean government, was being considered. The anti-US activist has denied that he intended to kill Lippert. As part of their investigation they have also requested Kim's past travels to North Korea — seven times between 1999 and 2007 — during a previous era

Summary: Ambassador Mark Lippert injured in a surprise attack at a breakfast meeting . Kim Ki-jong, a 55-year-old anti-US activist, was immediately arrested . Police seeking three charges in attack, including attempted murder . Doubts over whether he carried out attack alone or was part of conspiracy . Kim has visited North Korea several times and had books from the country . Lippert needed 80 stitches for slash to his face and may have nerve damage .

Today show host Matt Lauer and his NBC co-star Kathie Lee shared a Lady and the Tramp-style kiss on Tuesday morning - using a piece of red licorice instead of spaghetti – as a part of the new Twizzler Challenge, the latest charitable dare, which is aimed at raising awareness about autism. The duo’s fellow Today correspondent Meredith Vieira appeared on the show to nominate Matt and Kathie Lee for the challenge, which required the pair to each take opposite ends of one Twizzler, place them in their mouths and eat the licorice until their lips met in the middle for a kiss. 'Just like Lady and the Tramp,' said Al Roker of the charitable Disney-inspired act. Close co-stars: Kathie Lee and Matt Lauer took the Twizzler Challenge on the Today show Tuesday morning . Meredith explained that she first took the challenge, which has quickly gained momentum with the country’s top TV hosts, with Today co-anchor Willie Geist last week on her talk show and later donated $5,000 to support autism programs nationwide. 'This is clearly a transparent attempt by Meredith once gain to make out with her colleague,' Willie joked on the morning show. Like the now-infamous ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, those who fail to complete the Twizzler test after being nominated have to donate to Manhattan-based charity New York Collaborates for Autism. Following the rules: Kathie Lee wanted to know if she could use her hands when they placed the Twizzler in their mouths for the challenge . People in charge: Meredith Vieira and Willie Geist, who previously took the challenge on her talk show, told them that they were able to use their hands . Meredith immediately made it clear that she intended to challenge Matt, but remained coy about who his partner would be. 'Is there anybody around that we can ask?' Willie said. Savannah Guthrie, who was sitting next to Matt, quickly left her chair. Loving gaze: Kathie Lee stared deeply into Matt's eyes throughout the Twizzler Challenge . Fun times: Matt couldn't help but crack a smile at Kathie Lee's wide-eyed facial expression . 'I am willing to get up out of this seat,' she said as she made room for Matt's partner. When Kathie Lee walked on stage, Matt enthusiastically told her: 'Get over here.' Kathie Lee joked to Matt: 'Your world is going to be on fire.' 'This is nothing compared to what goes on in the make-up room,' she added. One more time: After pulling away from their initial kiss, Matt moved back in to give Kathie Lee another peck on the lips . Perfect pair: Matt told Kathie Lee that he loves her and would have done the challenge with her for free . As Kathie Lee and Matt sat face to face, they both noted that their awkward encounter was all in aid of a good cause. 'And then we get to challenge somebody,' Matt explained. Kathie Lee stared at Matt with her eyes wide open before she started to furiously eat the Twizzler that was in her mouth, quickly

Summary: The Twizzler Challenge is a new charitable dare aimed at raising awareness about autism . Participants in the challenge are required to place opposite ends of a Twizzler licorice stick in their mouths and eat until their lips touch . Daily Mail Online Editor-at-Large Piers Morgan, Meredith Vieira and Willie Geist have all taken part in the challenge previously .

They have been blamed for casting a shadow over urban areas and occasionally creating a 'death ray-style' beam of sunlight capable of melting cars on the street. So architects have now designed skyscrapers which don't block out the light by diffusing it onto a wide area in a bid to tackle the problem of shade encroaching on public space in London. The revolutionary 'No Shadow' design is the brainchild of architects NBBJ, who used a computer program to design two buildings, which work together to disperse and refract sunlight. They are designed so that when one building creates shade, the other can act as a huge curved mirror, allowing the light to be reflected downwards into its shadow. Architects have designed skyscrapers which don't block out the light by diffusing it onto a wide area . The theoretical development has been touted for construction at the Greenwich Peninsula, close to the O2 Arena, but similar buildings could be constructed in cities all over the world. Christian Coop, NBBJ's design director, said: 'The relationship between the sun and shadow is the relationship between the two buildings. He said the project is about 'improving the quality of our urban environment... finding a way in which we can have the tall buildings we need without losing natural light on the areas below'. Mr Coop hopes that architects will use this type of modelling to see how their designs will affect the light levels around their buildings.

The theoretical development has been touted for construction at the Greenwich Peninsula, close to the O2 Arena . He said the method could also be adapted to control how much sunlight is reflected at different times of year. It is hoped that the design would avoid a repeat of London's disastrous 'Walkie Talkie' dubbed the 'Walkie Scorchie' which directed fierce beams of sunlight capable of melting cars on the street. Peter Murray, head of the New London Architecture (NLA) forum, said the 'No Shadow' design was a 'perfectly feasible' theory. He added that one of the problems people have with skyscrapers is the long shadows they cast: 'If you can reduce that, that must be a good thing.' They are designed so that when one building creates shade, the other can act as a huge curved mirror, allowing the light to be reflected downwards into its shadow . Planning permission has been approved or is pending approval for 236 new high-rise buildings in central London, pictured is the Gherkin, The Cheesegrater and The Walkie Talkie . Dr Philip Oldfield, an expert in tall buildings at the University of Nottingham's Department of Architecture, said: 'What's great about the project is the focus on tall-building form and shape, not only to look dramatic, but to contribute to creating a comfortable space at ground level.'

In an interview with 60 Minutes on Sunday night the Australian businessman accused of masterminding an international paedophile ring revealed he is writing a journal that will serve as a confession for his alleged depraved crimes. Speaking from behind bars to 60 Minutes' Tara Brown, Peter Gerard Scully, 52, was evasive, non-committal and vague throughout the interview. But Scully hoped that the journal he was writing would help explain his mental state and the motivations behind his actions. He was arrested in the Philippines in February on charges of sexually abusing 11 children, the youngest of whom was only 18 months old, and killing another young girl, leading to calls for the reintroduction of the death penalty. Scroll down for videos . Peter Gerard Scully, 52, was arrested in the Philippines in February on charges of sexually abusing 11 children, the youngest of whom was only 18 months old . Relaxed and in control throughout the interview, Scully kept referring to a journal that he was now writing in prison and that the reasons for his horrific actions that he details in it could only be explained by a psychiatrist. 'What I'm looking for is the real reason why I took that road and what drove me to that, because in Australia I wasn't like that,' he said. However, for every direct question Ms Brown had, Scully had an equally opaque answer. 'I don't want to get into any of that... Are we almost done? Because we seem to be going round in circles,' he said at one stage. Asked by Ms Brown if he had any remorse for his actions he said that he did, but could not say exactly when he felt this. 'That's a good question. There's different degrees of remorse when you finally realise what you have done,' he said. ‘At what point do you have remorse? I can't answer that honestly yet.' When pressed on why he did what he did his only answer was to 'ask the psychiatrist that question'. 'He is in every sense of the word a predator. His crimes are like none that the Philippine authorities had ever seen before, acts so depraved and ever escalating,' Ms Brown told Daily Mail Australia. Ms Brown went behind bars to face Scully in a prison in Cagayan de Oro in the country's south, where Scully is currently being held, and will be tried at the same location, facing life in prison if found guilty. Scully allegedly scammed more than $2.68 million from 20 investors in an investment scheme and was under investigation from 2009 by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission. The father-of-two slipped out of Melbourne after being accused of 117 fraud and deception offences and fled to Manila in 2011 where he allegedly established a lucrative business live-streaming videos in a 'pay for view' scheme. Police alleged Scully would undertake acts in response to requests from his clients from across the globe, who paid to live-stream videos of children being tortured and sexually abused. Videos seized in the Philippines last week, including one

A homeless person has written a funny apology note after they broke into a man's car and stole his blanket. Bert Palin, 82, from East Gosford on the NSW Central Coast, discovered the letter after returning home from a trip to Sydney's Redfern to visit family. When he opened the boot of the car he found his blanket folded neatly with the note placed on top. 'Hi, I borrowed your blanket for a little while because I was cold and didn't have anywhere to go,' the note read. 'I hope you accept my apology for taking your stuff without asking.' The person signed the note 'blankt [sic] thief' with a smiley face, before adding: 'P.S. the blank [sic] is really itchy.' Mr Palin told the NT News that he had accepted the apology but warned the thief to 'keep out of my car' in future. 'It was obviously a male or female of some education to have written it the way they did and to break into my car then say "thank you" and "P.S. your blanket was itchy"... it was breathtaking,' he said. 'I washed the blanket after that because I was concerned about it being itchy.'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will target a central defender, a holding midfielder and a goalkeeper this summer with a £50million transfer war chest. Per Mertesacker could pay for some poor performances this season, with Dortmund centre half Neven Subotic and Aleksandar Dragovic of Dynamo Kiev on the Gunners’ radar. Arsenal goalkeepers David Ospina and Wojciech Szczesny will also be sweating on their futures. Petr Cech is a possible target, although Chelsea may not be prepared to sell to a rival. Arsene Wenger is said to be eyeing a swoop for Borussia Dortmund defender Neven Subotic (left) Aleksandar Dragovic (second right) of Dynamo Kiev is also on Wenger's radar for a summer swoop . Arsenal manager Wenger reportedly has a budget of £50million to spend on his squad in the summer . Wenger is a long-term admirer of Southampton’s Morgan Schneiderlin, who is the leading contender for the midfield holding role. Gabriel and Laurent Koscielny's place in Arsene Wenger's plans for next season look secure. But the arrival of a new centre back in the summer is likely to have repercussions for Mertesacker. The German's performances have been criticised this season, though he was excellent in Monday's euphoric FA Cup win over Manchester United. Wenger has been repeatedly linked with Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin (left) Chelsea keeper Petr Cech is also said to be of interest to Arsenal but Chelsea may not want to sell to a rival . He was recently dropped by Wenger, but Gabriel's hamstring injury has seen the defender handed an instant route back into the first-team. And the arrival of a new centre-half could marginalise Mertesacker's role in Wenger's plans. The capture of a new central defender could also have consequences for Calum Chambers. The England international has been used as cover at centre-back this season, but the club's transfer plans could mean Wenger sees his long-term future at right-back or holding midfield.

Summary: Arsene Wenger wants to improve his defensive options at Arsenal . Wenger is after goalkeeper Petr Cech and defender Neven Subotic . He has been repeatedly linked with Southampton's Morgan Schneiderlin .


Google has confirmed rumours it will soon be offering mobile network plans. Vice president Sundar Pichai said the firm is working with unnamed operators during a talk at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Rumours claim it will be initially offered to cities that have Google Fiber, such as Kansas, Texas and Utah. Elsewhere, Mr Pichai confirmed Google was working on Android Pay as well as Project Loon, designed to connect more urban areas. Sundar Pichai, senior vice president of Android, Chrome and Apps, talks during a conference during the Mobile World Congress, the world's largest mobile phone trade show in Barcelona, Spain . Google has confirmed year-long rumours it will be offering mobile network plans in the US. Speaking at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, vice president Sundar Pichai said the tech giant is working with unnamed network operators on developing a cellular plan. ‘You will see us announce it in the coming months, I think we are at a stage where it is important to think about hardware, software and connectability together,’ said the 43-year-old. Mr PIchai also confirmed rumours that Google is working on a payment service and unveiled plans for its Project Loon - designed to connect urban areas. The rumours of a Google mobile network plan first emerged in April last year, and the unnamed networks are believed to be Sprint and T-Mobile in the US. Instead of building masts, Google will buy access to existing 3G and 4G networks at wholesale prices and sell the connectivity back to customers at a cheaper rate. Visitors use their smartphones to take pictures of the new Galaxy S6 Edge displayed inside a glass cabinet, during the Mobile World Congress, the world's largest mobile phone trade show in Barcelona . This would make Google a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) similar to Lycamobile in the US that runs on T-Mobile’s network, and Tesco Mobile in the UK which shares O2’s networks. MVNOs don't own the infrastructure the networks are built on. Instead, they buy access to parts of these networks at wholesale prices. The company can then use these network to run its own wireless plans and resell the connectivity back to customers - usually at a reduced rate. Mr Pinchai said: ‘We want to be able to experiment along those lines, [but] we don't intend to be a network operator at scale.’ A mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) is a company that offers mobile service plans using existing networks. MVNOs don't own the infrastructure the networks are built on. Instead, they buy access to parts of these networks at wholesale prices. The company can then use this access to run its own wireless plans and resell the connectivity back to customers - usually at a reduced rate. Lycamobile in the U.S, for example, is an MVNO because it runs on T-Mobile’s network. In the UK, Tesco Mobile shares O2’s, and ultimately Telefonica’s, networks. An MVNO is typically run as an independent company, with its own staff and customer service . He described the plans as a ‘project’ and will do

Former member of 'The Real Housewives of Miami' cast Ana Quincoces was arrested Sunday in Key Largo for driving with a suspended license - an incident she blamed on a cockroach infestation at a friend’s home. But a 911 call from an earlier incident involving Quincoces suggests that unrequited love may have set her on the path to jail. The 50-year-old lawyer and cookbook author from Coral Gables was pulled over in her Subaru SUV by a Monroe County sheriff's deputy at mile marker 99 on US 1 at around 3.40am. Busted: Former member of 'The Real Housewives of Miami' cast Ana Quincoces, 50, (pictured left in her mugshot) was arrested Sunday in Key Largo for driving with a suspended license . TV star: Quincoces (second from left) starred on Season 2 of the Bravo reality TV show in 2012 . The officer wrote in the incident report, cited by Keys Info Net, that he stopped Quincoces because he recognized her from a previous encounter that took place just hours earlier. Police responding to a ‘disturbance call’ on Bahama Avenue confronted Ms Quincoces and informed her that her license had been suspended indefinitely February 9 and 'she was not to drive.' In the early hours of Sunday morning, the same deputy stopped Quincoces outside the Courtyard by Marriot Hotel in Key Largo and demanded to know why she was driving after being explicitly told not to get behind the wheel. The reality TV star was taken to the Plantation Key jail on a misdemeanor charge of driving with a suspended license and released just after 5am on her own recognizance. Quincoces starred on Season 2 of the Bravo reality TV show in 2012 and also made several appearances on the program in 2011 and 2013. Multi-talented: Quincoces, a lawyer by trade, pictured here last October at a charity event in Miami, is also a chef and cookbook author . Roach phobia: Quincoces said the house where she was staying turned out to be infested with cockroaches, which prompted her to get in her car and head home . On Monday, the 50-year-old 'Real Housewives' alum explained to Keysnet.com that she was staying at a house in Key Largo, which had been listed by a realtor friend, but discovered that it was crawling with cockroaches. Desperate to get away from the critters, she got in her car and set out for home in Coral Gables. Quincoces claimed she ‘didn’t realize’ her license was suspended, even though deputies warned her she was not allowed to drive just hours earlier. The lawyer-turned-chef chalked up the entire incident to an ‘administrative glitch’ and accused police of being ‘overzealous.’ But according to the celebrity blog Gossip Extra, it all started hours earlier when Ana Quincoces drove down to Key Largo and barged into her ex-boyfriend’s home searching for his new girlfriend. A 911 call placed by the homeowner allegedly picked up a shouting match between Quincoces, her former lover and his new flame. Bad romance: An earlier 911 call placed by her former boyfriend suggests that Quincoces

Jon Hamm has opened up about his alcohol addiction for the first time. News broke earlier this week that the Mad Men star had just completed a 30 day stint in rehab at the Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut. The 44-year-old said on Wednesday, ‘Life throws a lot at you sometimes and you have to deal with it as much as you can,’ in an interview with Australian magazine TV Week. After treatment: Jon Hamm completed a 30-day stint in rehab, his rep announced on Tuesday; here he is pictured at LAX airport the same day . When the publication asked him if the life of an actor, where he is often challenged to inhabit dark characters, played a role in his alcoholism he was not entirely dismissive of the notion. 'I've said in varying ways that acting can be a difficult endeavour,' Hamm admitted, 'certainly not as difficult as the recent example I used of being a baby heart surgeon.' ‘But,' he added, 'it does present its own challenges and so does life.’ Just after he checked out: Hamm attended a special screening of Mad Men on Saturday in New York City with the cast of the hit AMC show; here he is pictured with January Jones . One step at a time: Jon was seen heading home in Los Angeles on Wednesday . Staying busy: The same day, he suited up and flashed a smile while celebrating the final episode of Mad Men with the Black & Red Ball in LA . The question was raised as his character Don Draper on Mad Men is not only plagued by personal demons but is a heavy drinker. But Hamm was quick to note how fortunate he felt to have supportive family and friends by his side as he faces his own personal struggles. A rep for the star told TMZ on Tuesday 'With the support of his longtime partner Jennifer Westfeldt, Jon Hamm recently completed treatment for his struggle with alcohol addiction. 'They have asked for privacy and sensitivity going forward.' The facility: The Mad Men actor received treatment at the Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut for alcohol abuse . Inside Silver Hill: Though the facility is considered upscale, the rooms are pared down. Some even have two beds as often patients have roommates . She has helped him: Hamm's publicist told the site, 'With the support of his longtime partner Jennifer Westfeldt, Jon recently completed treatment for his struggle with alcohol addiction.

Mike Peters was headed to his job driving veterans to and from outpatient services when he saw a man engulfed in flames 'from his waist to above his head' while standing alongside a suburban Rochester, New York, road. Peters stopped, ran past a woman making futile attempts to pat out the fire and tackled the burning man into an icy snowbank, using handfuls of dirty snow to douse the flames. Peters and two other motorists were credited with saving the life of 84-year-old Christopher Flowers after his clothing caught fire from a cigarette he was smoking while driving on Monday morning. Police and fire officials in the town of Gates said Tuesday that Flowers, of Chili, was driving when the multiple shirts he was wearing caught fire from a dropped lit cigarette. Flowers pulled over and got out of his car as flames spread across his clothing. Officials say three passing motorists — Peters and two women — pulled over to help. Peters said one of the women was trying to knock down the flames with her hands, but wasn't having any success. 'I scooped the guy up and did an end-zone dive into the snowbank,' Peters told The Associated Press. Peters said Flowers was wearing several layers of clothing, including two or three flannel shirts and a couple T-Shirts topped by a hooded sweatshirt. The three rescuers removed the smoldering clothing and wrapped him in a blanket that one of the women had in her trunk. Flowers was hospitalized and listed in guarded condition Tuesday with severe burns to his upper body. Peters believed Flowers pulled over and got out of his car to fish the burning cigarette from his multi-layered clothing, only to have Monday's windy conditions fan the flames to the point they engulfed his entire torso. 'I've just never seen anything like it,' said Peters, a 52-year-old former Army helicopter mechanic from Gates. 'It was like newspapers catching on fire.' Authorities identified the other two rescuers as Deborah Zielinski of Henrietta and Kathy Baleno of Gates.

Things got very steamy this morning at the Today show studios when host Hoda Kotb and TV personality Regis Philbin took part in new charity dare The Twizzler Challenge live on air, and shared a passionate - if very one-sided - kiss. Hoda, 50, looked as though she got rather more than she bargained for when Regis, 83, energetically took the lead on the act; requiring them to each take opposite ends of one Twizzler, place them in their mouths and nibble the licorice until their lips met in the middle. When Hoda's quick peck on Regis' lips at the end of the challenge did not seem to satisfy her former NBC co-host, he grabbed her head with both hands and delivered her a passionate smooch, as Hoda froze up in surprise. Scroll down for video . Good cause: Much like the now-infamous ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the Twizzler test has taken off, and benefits Manhattan-based charity New York Collaborates for Autism . Magic moment: The stunt required Hoda and Regis to each take opposite ends of one Twizzler, place them in their mouths and nibble the licorice until their lips met in the middle . Hoda and Regis were officially dared to take on the Twizzler Challenge last week by Today hosts Matt Lauer and Kathie Lee, who themselves shared a series of rather awkward, perfunctory kisses during their on-screen moment. Once the concept, which aims to raise awareness for autism, was explained to Regis during his guest segment on the show this morning, he enthusiastically asked: 'Are we going to kiss?' 'I'm not sure,' responded Hoda, before timidly spritzing his open mouth with breath spray. 'Let me look at your lips,' Regis exclaimed, leaning in. 'She could swallow me! I've never seen lips like that. Honest to God, something's going to happen.' And indeed it did. Hoda nibbled at the licorice straw until she reached Regis' lips, before issuing him a conservative peck. Too much? Today host Hoda Kotb, 50, (right) got more than she bargained for as part of this morning's Twizzler Challenge, when former co-host Regis Philbin, 83, (left) smothered her with an enthusiastic smacker . Not finished: Hoda gave Regis a quick peck, before jerking her head away from him . Regis then launched in for a full-on smooch, as Hoda darted her head away, only for Regis to grab her back and give her a lingering mouth-to-mouth smacker. 'Boy you look like you went in there!' squealed Kathie Lee, as Hoda recovered in stunned silence. 'It was pretty good,' attested Regis, lipstick smeared over his face. 'You got a boyfriend?' Much like the now-infamous ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, those who fail to complete the Twizzler test after being nominated have to donate to Manhattan-based charity New York Collaborates for Autism. Last week at the NBC studios, Matt Lauer and Kathie Lee were nominated by fellow Today correspondent Meredith Vieira. Meredith explained that she first took the challenge with Today co-anchor Willie Geist the previous week on her talk show and later donated $5,000 to support autism

A polite sign posted outside a toilet at a shopping centre has raised the question – at what age should children go to public restrooms alone? The notice, which reads ‘please boys over 6 years of age use men’s restroom’, was taped to the wall of a women’s toilet at an Oklahoma outlet mall, in America. The Oklahoma City Moms Blog posted the image on Facebook, sparking debate worldwide. ‘If you were shopping at a local mall and saw this picture, what would your reaction be?,’ the photo’s caption read. The post comes after calls for more gender-neutral family bathrooms where dads and mums can both take their children. Scroll down for video . This sign, which reads 'please boys over 6 years of age use men's restroom', was taped to the wall of a women's toilet and went viral after it was posted on Facebook . Earlier this week Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher raised the issue on his Facebook page when he complained: ‘There are NEVER diaper changing stations in men’s public restrooms.’ The new dad added: ‘The first public men's room that I go into that has one gets a free shout out on my FB page! #BeTheChange.’ Parenting expert Jo Ryan from support service Babybliss told Daily Mail Australia the age of when a child should go into a public toilet alone is a ‘tough question’. ‘It depends on the child really,’ she said. ‘I think six is too young. I’m not sure if I’d want them to go in a public toilet on their own,’ Ryan explained. ‘Some boys want to do that at that age, you have to judge the child and whether it is a safe environment. Toilets are always an unknown. In Australia, many shopping centres have family bathrooms for parents to take their kids . ‘For me, I don‘t think I would let them go in on their own, I would want to take them with me. It’s usually when they are a bit older -around 7 or 8 – that they want to go in alone,’ Ryan said. ‘What if the child has got a disability or a mental age of two or needs assistance?,’ she asked. Ryan also pointed out that in Australia most public toilets in modern shopping centres have a family room that can be used by mums and dads. ‘I actually took my goddaughter into a family toilet yesterday at Bondi Junction, Westfield, in Sydney, she’s three. Earlier this week Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher raised the issue of gender neutral bathrooms on his Facebook page . Ashton Kutcher, seen here with his partner Mila Kunis, sparked the debate about a lack of baby changing rooms in men's toilets . At what age would you allow your child to go into a public toilet on their own? At what age would you allow your child to go into a public toilet on their own? Now share your opinion . ‘I thought “is it only for women?” but the sign says ‘parents’ and there was a man and a women sign,

Summary: The sign was taped to the wall of a toilet at a mall in America . Comes as new dad Ashton Kutcher raised issue of baby changing for men . Parenting expert says age six is 'too young' for child to go alone . 'I think it's clear this sign is inappropriate,' mother of three says .

The NHS has spent nearly £350,000 on removing tattoos after people changed their minds about their body art. More than 2,000 people have been given free laser treatment – courtesy of the taxpayer – in the past four years, described by MPs as a ‘sheer waste’ of scarce NHS funds. Tattoo removal is not routinely provided by the NHS, but guidance states it can be carried out ‘to protect a person’s health’ if their doctor believes it is causing them ‘significant distress or serious mental health problems’. The NHS has spent £350,000 on removing people's tattoos for them once they have second thoughts (file image) It would also be considered if the dye had caused a ‘significant allergic reaction or infection’ or if someone had been tattooed against their will. A patient must be referred by their GP. Figures obtained by The Sun under Freedom of Information laws show 2,016 people had tattoos removed since 2010 at a cost of £330,182. However, the true cost is likely to be much higher, as many trusts did not provide breakdowns of the reasons for laser treatments. The number of tattoo parlours in the UK has soared from about 50 in the 1970s to 1,000 today. Their popularity has been boosted by celebrity fans, including David Beckham and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini. Even the Prime Minister’s wife, Samantha Cameron, has a small dolphin tattoo on her ankle. However, four in ten people are said to regret having a tattoo and one in six want them removed. Laser removal uses beams of different coloured light to break down the ink into minuscule fragments, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream and excreted via the liver and digestive system. The popularity of tattoos has been boosted by celebrity fans, including David Beckham (pictured), Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and even Samantha Cameron . Private clinics charge around £150 a session for a small tattoo and up to £800 for a larger one. Typically eight to ten sessions are needed for large tattoos. One patient to benefit was John, 22, who had a large swastika removed from his chest and hoped to have other Nazi symbols removed from his back and arms. He told the BBC he wanted them removed so he could move abroad and take his top off while working out. He added: ‘You can’t really do that with something that is going to offend everybody... I want to move on in life. If I got them removed I’d be able to change my image.’ Jonathan Isaby, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: ‘Taxpayers will be furious that they’re funding what amounts to cosmetic surgery. You can’t go a day in politics without someone calling for more money for the NHS, but it’s clear that too much is already wasted. ‘With Britain’s finances so stretched we have to prioritise spending on essential services, not on covering up ill-advised body art.’ Shadow health minister Andrew Gwynne said: ‘People will struggle to see how this sheer waste of precious NHS money can be justified when hospitals do not have enough staff.

Summary: More than 2,000 people have had tattoos removed by NHS since 2010 . The cost of the laser treatment is more than £330,000, figures reveal . MPs last night slammed the expenditure as a 'sheer waste' of NHS funds .


An eyesore bus station dubbed 'the mouth of hell' was today dramatically razed to the ground by thousands of explosives. The dilapidated Greyfriars bus station in Northampton, a stark example of 1970s Brutalist architecture, was reduced to rubble in just six seconds after more than 2,200 explosive charges ripped through the redundant building, tearing it to the ground. The dramatic collapse came after a five-minute warning siren which had sounded out across the four-acre site, warning the hundreds of locals who had gathered for the occasion that the demolition was about to take place. Scroll down for video . This is the dramatic moment an eyesore bus station in Northampton dubbed 'the mouth of hell' was blown up to make way for redevelopment . The dilapidated Greyfriars bus station, an example of 1970s brutalist architecture, was reduced to rubble in just six seconds following the blast . More than 2,200 explosive charges were used to tear down the archaic building, prompting bangs, rumblings and car alarms to go off . The historic demolition was heralded by a five-minute warning siren which sounded out across the area before the blast took place . An audible gasp then spread across the crowd as a series of loud bangs and rumbling echoed around the area, prompting car alarms to spontaneously go off nearby. The historic event was also live-streamed online, after Northampton Borough Council pleaded with spectators not to watch it in person. Video footage taken from nearby shows the 20,000 tonne building crumbling downwards from left to right, before being enveloped in a cloud of dust, which slowly spread away from the demolition scene. The £5m operation had also seen residents evacuated from more than 400 nearby homes, as a precaution. The 574ft long, three-floor building was built in 1976 and has dominated the Northampton skyline for almost 40 years. But it faced criticism soon after it opened when mineral stalactites began forming inside. There were also concerns for safety in the 2000s when two people died after being hit by buses. The building, which includes a car park and offices which have not been used for years, was once described in the Lonely Planet guide as 'infamously ugly'. In 2005, it also featured on Channel 4 series Demolition, fronted by Kevin McCloud, as the third in a list of 12 buildings that the public believed should be demolished. Video footage taken from nearby shows the 20,000 tonne building crumbling downwards from left to right, before being enveloped in dust . The thick, grey smoke spread slowly away from the demolition scene. The clean-up could take until June, the council has warned . The historic event had been live-streamed online, after Northampton Borough Council pleaded with spectators not to watch it in person . It was during the programme that McCloud - who also presents Grand Designs - coined its moniker 'the mouth of hell'. The building was one of the most prominent examples of the Brutalism era, a style of architecture defined by concrete fortress-like buildings which flourished between the 1950s and mid-1970s.
