A mother has fled to Syria with her two young children to join Islamic State. Rehana Begum Islam abandoned her husband of 14 years, vanishing overnight with her eight-year-old son and three-year-old daughter. The 33-year-old travelled from Heathrow to Istanbul on February 14 and then took an internal flight to Gaziantep, a city on Turkey's border with Syria. She is believed to have been helped by a Syrian who was arrested last week on suspicion of getting three east London schoolgirls across the border. Runaway: Rehana Islam with husband Azizul and their two children, whose identities are protected . Her passport details were found on his laptop – showing she and her children have been with Islamic State fanatics for five weeks. Mrs Islam's devastated husband Azizul says he has not stopped crying since police revealed she had travelled to Gaziantep, a popular gateway to Syria for foreign fighters and jihadi brides. 'It's really hard for me,' said the 36-year-old minicab driver last night. 'I haven't seen my kids for more than one month. I can't even sleep without my kids. 'My question is why did she go there? She has two kids, she has a family, and this house is in her name. Why has she left everything? This is really unbelievable. 'When the police told me she travelled to Gaziantep – I've seen it in the news, so many British people are trying to travel there – it came into my mind that maybe she's gone to Syria but still I can't believe it.' Last night Turkish intelligence sources revealed her ID documents were found on the laptop of Mohammed al-Rashed. He was arrested on suspicion of helping Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and Amira Abase, 15, become jihadi brides in Syria. All three attended Bethnal Green academy in Tower Hamlets. Al-Rashed, 28, is said to have told detectives he has mainly helped British fighters but also South Africans and Australians. The details of two other Britons, aged 19 and 29, were on his laptop. Mr Islam said: 'He must've also helped her to get there. 'I'm worried about my kids, I hope she comes back with my kids. Please. She's going to destroy my two kids' lives. 'IS is killing Muslim people as well. My religion doesn't say anything about killing people. 'If you're Muslim you should know that the Koran doesn't say this. These people are dangerous.'

The Bangladeshi-born father said he had no idea how his wife, who suffers from depression, had become radicalised. He did not know that the former RBS clerk posted frequently on Facebook about Islam. But he said she spent a lot of time on her smartphone. Mrs Islam took her laptop with her when she disappeared. Her husband added: 'If I knew anything I would do everything to stop my wife, especially my two kids. I

A mother has given up work to gain an international following for her making videos of the addictive block-building game Minecraft. Staci Northfield, 27, from Cambridge, says she earns more from narrating her digital adventures on the hugely popular game than she did as a full-time supermarket cashier. As her online alter ego, Salem's Lady, she has amassed 111,000 subscribers on YouTube and even meets her eager fans at special conventions. 'It's like a double life' - Staci has found it strange to consolidate both her real life as a parent and also her life and work as a gamer in Minecraft . The mother-of-two uses Twitter to keep in contact with her 34,000 followers and - while she won't reveal her new earnings - says she makes almost as much as her partner Jonathan Brown, 33, who is a full-time chef at a university in Cambridge. She said: 'I got started when one of my friends told me it was a really great game to play. It looked really boring but she showed me a guy doing videos and he made it a bit more interesting. 'I started off building a house, which turned into a castle, then a castle with a railway, and from then on it was; "I love this game, it's endless". You can build anything. 'I never thought it would be possible playing games for a living, and now there are children who want me to sign things for them.' Even Staci is surprised by her own success, saying: 'I hate the sound of my own voice, and I thought they were going to hate it, but a lot of the audience are in America, and they seem to love the British accent. 'I love this game, it's endless' - Former supermarket cashier, Staci, has an online alter-ego called Salem's Lady, which she takes on adventures in the block-building video game . 'There have been a few people around from the start and I always try to make a little more effort for them but sometimes it's hard because you can't speak to everybody.' Staci gave up her Sainsbury's job to look after her two daughters Holly, six, and Rachel, eight, but struggled for money two years ago and decided to go back to work. But while she was looking for jobs online she became hooked on the addictive block-building game so much she began making the videos. Despite YouTubing as a hobby she soon realised she could make some serious cash and gave up the job hunt altogether. Staci spends two or three hours in the morning making the videos before she edits them in the afternoon and helps other players with any queries. She spent last weekend at a gaming convention in London and has had to get used to meeting her excited fans in the flesh. Staci added: 'My youngest daughter just doesn't understand it, she just likes being in the videos. 'But my eldest loves it, her friends are fans and when she goes to school they all know who I am. 'It's

Under-fire BBC chief Rona Fairhead personally blocked the release of redacted information about a long-delayed investigation into Jimmy Savile, prompting fresh cover-up accusations. The controversial BBC Trust chairman approved a decision to keep secret details from a cache of potentially damaging letters between leading figures at the Corporation and the team carrying out a review of Savile’s activities. Her decision last night deepened concerns about the Savile review being carried out by judge Dame Janet Smith, which has cost at least £5 million and taken more than two years so far. BBC Trust chairman, Rona Fairhead, pictured, personally approved a decision to keep Jimmy Savile letters secret, preventing their release to a team conducting a review into the prolific paedophile's activities . The elements of correspondence Mrs Fairhead has kept hidden were thought to shed light on whether Corporation executives were trying to delay publication of the Savile report for fear that it would further damage the BBC’s reputation. The BBC insists no such pressure was applied to delay the report. Last night critics said the censorship row showed Mrs Fairhead was not properly representing the licence fee-payer, as her £110,000 part-time role as chairman of the BBC Trust requires. The businesswoman, 53, has already come under fire from MPs over her £10,000-a-day second job at HSBC. Allegations of her possible role in covering up evidence involving Savile – the biggest scandal in BBC history – will put further pressure on her to quit. Tory MP Andrew Bridgen, who has written to the BBC about the sexual abuse review, said: ‘The delay and the non-publication of the correspondence is not good for the licence fee-payer but it is probably good for the BBC in the run-up to its Charter review. It’s all very convenient. ‘I think that Rona Fairhead is compromised. As far as protecting licence fee-payers, she has gone native. She can’t hold the BBC to account and what she said about the review only confirms my suspicion.’ Mrs Fairhead’s decision came at the end of a five-month battle by a transparency campaigner who used Freedom of Information Act requests to try to find out if BBC bosses had put pressure on Dame Janet to delay her report. Tory MP Andrew Bridgen, left, said Ms Fairhead, right, is 'compromised' and has 'gone native' As chairman of the BBC governing body, Mrs Fairhead acts as the ‘qualified person’ to decide whether or not FoI requests should be refused on public interest grounds. In a three-page letter dated last December, she ruled that sensitive messages over delays to the Savile review should not be released. It is the only time so far she has acted in this capacity. She wrote: ‘In my view, the public interest in demonstrating that the review is acting independently of the BBC and that the BBC is not putting unwarranted pressure on the review to delay delivery of the report has largely been served by the information already made available to the requestor.’ The BBC has refused to answer questions about the review’s ongoing costs. The most recent

Summary: Rona Fairhead is accused of blocking access to letters on Jimmy Savile . The letters were between top BBC figures and a team investigating Savile . The probe has so far taken more than two years and cost at least £5million . Tory MP Andrew Bridgen, pictured, accused Ms Fairhead of going 'native'

He will probably see three specialists and two of them need to give him the all-clear before he can play again. ‘It’s very different to what happened to me. Bafetimbi Gomis has a history of medical issues. I did not have a history, so it was a real surprise when it happened to me.’ Fabrice Muamba says he feared the worst when he heard that Gomis had collapsed at White Hart Lane . It is three years since Muamba suffered a cardiac arrest while playing for Bolton against Spurs . On 17 March 2012, Fabrice Muamba collapsed on the pitch at White Hart Lane during an FA Cup quarter-final match between Bolton and Tottenham. The former Trotters midfielder suffered a cardiac arrest and received life-saving medical treatment from Spurs staff and consultant cardiologist Dr Andrew Deaner, who was at the game as a fan, from the pitch.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart is determined not to let Manchester City's season end with a whimper. The England number one has made a rallying call to his team-mates in the hope of sparking a charge through the closing games of the year. City's campaign has fallen apart in 2015 with a run of three wins in 12 games costing them heavily in the Barclays Premier League, FA Cup and in Europe. Joe Hart was in inspired form against Barcelona, pictured here saving from man-of-the-moment Lionel Messi . The Manchester City and England No 1 moved to back his manager despite the team's last-16 exit . Hart arrived back to Manchester with the rest of the City squad on Thursday afternoon . City now seem unlikely to retain their title having fallen six points behind Chelsea, who have a game in hand, while they were ousted from the Champions League by a far superior Barcelona side on Wednesday. But Hart is not ready to concede defeat to Chelsea yet and insists City, who host West Brom on Saturday, still have a lot to play for. The 27-year-old said: 'I will never give up, ever, and I could safely say that nobody in our dressing room will ever give up either. We will see where that takes us. 'West Brom is a huge game and we turn our focus to that. We have no excuse not to throw everything at the Premier League now and give our all - to the fans, the owner, to everyone. 'Every game is a must-win now. We have no time to lick our wounds, we have to fly into that game. 'We have to win every game, and that is how we will go into it, and see where it takes us. 'We have had a few knocks this season, but we have proved it time and time again, and so have our fans, that we come back and we keep fighting.' City's recent form has brought heavy criticism of the team and manager Manuel Pellegrini, who could now be facing a fight to keep his job. But Hart, who was outstanding in Wednesday's 1-0 loss at the Nou Camp, believes all the negativity coming the team's way is only par for the course and is not overly concerned. Manuel Pellegrini has been beaten four times by Barcelona since becoming Manchester City manager . Ivan Rakitic scored the only goal of the game as Barcelona progressed at Manchester City's expense . Luis Enrique had praise for City keeper Hart after watching him deny Barcelona a number of times . He said: 'That's part of being at Man City. We all get talked about. I have been the worst keeper in the world recently and Vinny (Kompany) has been the worst defender in the world. 'We have all had our moment. That's the role of being at Man City. If we don't win we are going to get slaughtered.' It has also been suggested the squad needs a shake-up in the summer but Hart continues to back his current team-mates.

2,000-year-old artefacts looted from ancient sites in Iraq and Syria by ISIS are being sold on eBay as jihadis cash in on relics dating back millennia. Jewellery, ceramics and coins plundered from museums within ISIS territory are known to pass between criminal gangs before turning up in Gulf States and later appearing on trading websites. Two coins from Apamea, in western Syria, which date back to Ancient Greece have appeared on eBay with price tags of £57 and £90. Scroll down for video . Selling on eBay: Historical artefacts believed to have been looted by ISIS, such as this coin of Apamea dating back to the time of Ancient Greece, are beginning to appear on eBay . This comes after entire Roman mosaics were ripped up by a bulldozer from the ancient site. The trade in antiquities is a profitable business for the terror group and is thought to be worth tens of millions of pounds, The Times reports. As well as looting ancient artefacts, ISIS is known to levy a 'tax on valuable and historical items found in its territory to ensure the group's central administration benefits financially from raids on museums. The number of artefacts flowing from the war zone is so great that their market price has actually fallen. Spoils of war: Small coins such as these are easy to smuggle across borders to criminal gangs in neighbouring countries. Above, the artefact is advertised on eBay . It is believed that ISIS takes orders from dealers in neighbouring countries, with small items such as coins easy to smuggle across borders due to the number of people being displaced. Using smuggling routes and links to criminal gangs in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan, the ancient treasures can be packed in with cargoes of oil, drugs and weapons as they move across borders. eBay insist that they pay attention to the authorities. A spokesman for the company told The Times: 'We remove items from sale based on their advice, support law enforcement investigations and are always prepared to investigate listings causing concern.' Axel Plathe, director of Unesco's Iraq office, told The Times: 'We are seeing a more systematic approach to looting under ISIS, linked to generating revenue. Also selling: Another Greek coin advertised as 'Coin of Apamea 'Turreted Tyche & Nike' Era of Pompey Year 16 VF recently sold on eBay for the equivalent of £90 . This coin, which came from the ancient city of Apamea in western Syria, sold for $135 on eBay - the equivalent of around £91 . 'Excavations at the sites have increased and we believe trafficking is on the rise but without access to the sites we still don't know the true scale.' It is thought that increased pressure from the Iraqi army is encouraging jihadis to loot anything of value in the territory while they can. They have also desecrated countless Assyrian treasures treasures at Mosul, Nimrud and Dur-Sharrukin. In Nimrud, northern Iraq, militants even smashed up 3,000 year-old winged statues that are placed at the gates of the Palace of Ashurnasirpal. Erasing history: Two

Sophie Brannan, 11, was killed when she was hit by Christopher Hannah in November last year . A heroin addict is facing a long jail sentence after he admitted killing an 11-year-old girl in a hit and run crash while on bail. Christopher Hannah was high on drugs when he ploughed into Sophie Brannan, her friend and her friend’s uncle as they walked home from local shops on November 14 last year. Hannah, 33, lost control of his hired Vauxhall Astra, mounted the pavement and hit the three victims so hard from behind they were thrown over the car. Sophie suffered catastrophic head injuries and died the following day in hospital. Her ten-year-old friend had a badly broken leg and the 36-year-old uncle suffered a serious shoulder injury. Hannah, the son of a bankrupt businessman, fled the scene in Sandbank Street in Glasgow’s Maryhill – but later called a friend to say he had been ‘driving like a madman’ and had hit someone. At the High Court in Glasgow yesterday, the father of three pleaded guilty to culpable homicide and was remanded in custody for sentence next month. The court heard Hannah’s car, which he had hired a month earlier, mounted the pavement and hit the gable end of a nearby building before careering into Sophie and her companions. Prosecutor Allan Nicol said: ‘This caused them to be thrown onto the bonnet, windscreen and roof of the vehicle before falling onto the ground. Another motorist witnessed the carnage and immediately turned back to help poor Sophie.’ Witnesses saw Hannah speed into Maryhill Road, with his badly dented car being ‘driven erratically’ before he crashed into a taxi. The cab driver tailed Hannah, who eventually stopped a short distance away. Mr Nicol said: ‘At that point, the accused was trying to pull the damaged front bumper, then he stopped and walked away before starting to run off. ‘Both the taxi driver and his passengers noticed he was under the influence of some substance.’ Paramedics took Sophie to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children at Yorkhill, where she was found to have swelling to her brain, several fractures and broken bones. Tributes left at the scene after the crash last year. Hannah fled scene but pleaded guilty at High Court in Glasgow yesterday . She remained in intensive care overnight, but died the following day. The court heard Sophie’s friend suffered a serious leg break which will require long-term physiotherapy. Mr Nicol said: ‘She also suffers episodes of withdrawal and angry outbursts. She is due to attend for psychiatric assessment in order to come to terms with her injuries and the loss of Sophie.’ The girl’s uncle also suffered a number of fractures, but was initially released from hospital two days later. However, he eventually required surgery and is likely to have ‘long-term restriction’ in movement to his right shoulder. The court heard Hannah stayed on the run for two days after Sophie’s death, despite promising his partner he would hand himself in. When police finally arrested him, they found heroin hidden inside his

A Portugal side missing Cristiano Ronaldo were shocked 2-0 by African islanders Cape Verde in Estoril. The Ballon d'Or winner was released from international duty ahead of this friendly meeting at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota and Portugal dearly missed his guile and killer instinct. Odair Fortes and Gege scored the Blue Sharks' goals before half-time and the dismissal of Portugal defender Andre Pinto on the hour mark made a comeback even more unlikely. It would not materialise. Cape Verde Islands defender Gege celebrates after scoring the second goal against Portugal on Tuesday . Fernando Santos (right) looks dejected as his Portuguese side were beaten 2-0 by the African nation . Jeffry Fortes competes with Adrien Silva during the international friendly in Estoril .

Booked: Semedo . Goals: Odair Fortes 38, Gege 43 . It was the first time since 1986 that Portugal had lost to an African nation, though it shouldn't come as too much a surprise with Cape Verde up at 37 in the FIFA world rankings, above the likes of Scotland and Sweden. Cape Verde made a lively start but the European side began to stamp their mark on proceedings soon after Vozinha was called into action on a number of occasions in goal, keeping out Vierinha and then Bernardo Silva. But the visitors were in front in the 38th minute, as Fortes' cross-cum-shot looped over Lopes at the far post. Five minutes later they doubled their advantage after Heldon's free-kick fell kindly for Gege, who made his way up from defence and could hardly miss. Hugo Almeida spurned a golden chance in the second half as Fernando Santos' side tried to rally, but Portugal's hopes of mounting a comeback were dealt a major blow on the hour mark when Pinto was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge on Heldon. Pinto's sending off did not affect Portugal's attacking ambition, but their efforts ultimately proved fruitless on a famous night for Cape Verde.

An American defense contractor found dead at the bottom of a Saudi Arabian hotel in January had injuries consistent with homicide, according to a medical exam carried out after his body was returned to the U.S. Christopher Cramer, 50, of New Hampshire, was found dead on January 15 outside the Sahara Makarim Hotel in the city of Tabuk. Saudi police have classified Cramer's death as suicide, but just hours before his death he had frantically texted friends in the U.S. begging for help. Scroll down for video . Christopher Cramer, 50, of New Hampshire, was found dead at the bottom of a Saudi Arabian hotel in January with injuries consistent with homicide . 'I'm at the Marakim tabuk hotel in Saudi. I think something bad is going to happen to me tonight. Please contact state dept ASAP. Bad things were said,' read the text message. Family members had disputed the Saudi's verdict and asked Dr. Michael Baden, a Fox News contributor and former chief medical examiner for New York City, to carry out an independent autopsy. 'What I could find was that there were multiple injuries that were not caused by impact alone,' Baden told FoxNews.com. 'When the fall occurs, usually injuries are consistent with the point of impact. There's more than one point of impact.' There also appeared to be a blunt force trauma to Cramer's head, something that usually does not occur in a suicide fall, said Baden. Cramer was in the country to demonstrate and sell an anti-armor missile system when his body was found three stories below his hotel room. Saudi police have classified Cramer's death as suicide, but just hours before his death he had frantically texted friends in the U.S. begging for help . Cramer, 50, was found dead on January 15 outside the Sahara Makarim Hotel in the city of Tabuk . Friends and family of Cramer have maintained that he was a happy person who showed no signs of depression. They are calling for a criminal investigation to be opened. 'It just wasn't right. He would not send a text like that unless he was truly in trouble,' said Cramer's nephew, Chris Arsenault. 'We are going to continue to press for the facts, that he did not fall after committing suicide.' A State Department spokesperson said the agency has offered to help Saudi authorities in the investigation. 'If the host government grants permission, then the FBI, in conjunction with the State Department, supports the investigative efforts of the foreign government,' the official said.

Captain of St Mirren at 17 the course of Tony Fitzpatrick’s life altered on a January morning in 1983. The day he lost his six-year-old son. His previous existence had been blinkered, revolving around the mainstays of family, football and faith. His family was shattered by the death of son Anthony following a two year battle with acute myeloid leukaemia. Somehow, the football and faith - subjected to anguished, grief stricken examinations in the months which followed - survived. “I have always believed in God" reflects Fitzpatrick, sipping fizzy water in a coffee shop in Glasgow's west end. “But what happened to little Tony made me angry. I wondered how something like that could happen. Tony Fitzpatrick wants his book to serve as a legacy for the six-year-old son he lost to leukaemia . “It challenged my faith for a wee spell. It challenged how I felt. “There was anger, bitterness, every emotion you might associate with bereavement. “I just couldn’t understand why God had done it. Even to this day I still ask myself the question.” He sought refuge and answers in writing. Scribbled notes on his experiences and emotions became a habit. The outcome of his jottings is ‘The Promise, Together Again’, the 59-year-old’s first book. It features the adventures of Babakoochi Bear, the pet name he used for the son lost 32 years ago. The memories are undimmed by the passage of time. He remembers the awful weather most. Through the grey clouds and rain enveloping Glasgow’s Hospital for Sick Children he grasped for a silver lining. “I always remember my wife and I coming out to the car park after Tony died and there being most stunning rainbow I had ever seen. “Maybe I was looking for something. But the colours were so vibrant, it was stunning. To me it was a sign. A sign of.... something." A committed, church goer he interpreted the rainbow as a token of hope. Some kind of message from above. Yet in the months which followed he examined his faith and found it wanting. Rationalising what kind of kind of God might take the life of an innocent six-year-old child proved impossible. An uneasy, restless peace descended slowly. “Listen, after a time faith became a great comfort again. You don’t know where it comes from. But when you are in despair your beliefs offer you peace and help when you need it most. “But was that challenged for a time? Yes. Yes, it was. They say time is a healer. You hear that all the time. And it probably is to some degree. “But when you lose a child you never ever get over it. “You learn to live with it. But that’s all. “Tony died in 1983. But every day he is with me in my life. “I feel him all the time in the room. “I can sit with my eyes closed in a quiet space and I don’t see him. But I take comfort from the fact I feel he is there. “It never gets any easier. There are

Smartphones really are addictive and the more you use one, the worse it gets, a new study has revealed. Moodiness, loneliness and jealousy are all key indicators of smartphone addiction, along with an obsession with physical appearance, the University of Derby study found. Psychology lecturer, Dr Zaheer Hussain, who co-authored the study, found that the more you use a smartphone, the higher your risk of becoming addicted. A Study by University of Derby says 13 per cent of us are addicted, and the average user spends 3.6 hours a day on their smartphone (stock image shown). Moodiness, loneliness and jealousy are all key indicators of addiction. An obsession with physical appearance is also a telling sign . He explained that higher scores of narcissism - defined as excessive interest or admiration of oneself and one’s physical appearance - is the most common and obvious sign of the addiction. An obsession with taking selfies and posting them on social media is one key indication. ‘A significant positive relationship was found between narcissism and addiction to the phones, suggesting that the more narcissistic a person is, the more likely they are to be addicted to their smartphone,’ he said. In a move that might seem counter-intuitive, a Berlin-based psychologist has developed an app to help wean us off our gadgets. Called Offtime, it limits which apps can be used to avoid distractions, or prevents people from contacting you unless in an emergency. It doesn’t limit connectivity permanently; instead, users can enable Offtime mode for any time when they need to focus, or at set times during the day. And there are various levels of customisation. For example, all calls, texts and notifications can be blocked during Offtime. Alternatively, users can pre-select so-called VIP contacts that are never blocked, and can get hold of the phone owner even when Offtime is enabled. The study found that 13 per cent of 256 participants were addicts. The average age of those who took part in the online survey was 29. As a result, the researchers say they believe it should be made compulsory that anyone selling smartphones should warn customers of their potentially addictive properties. Dr Hussain said: ‘The study informs us about smartphone overuse and the impact on psychological well-being. 'We now use smartphones on a daily basis and for various tasks so being aware of the psychological effects is very important. ‘There are various smartphone apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Candy Crush, as well as Skype and email that make smartphone use psychologically more attractive and can lead to addiction.’ The study also revealed the average user spent 3.6 hours per day on the device, and when the participants were asked if they used their phone in banned areas, 35 per cent answered yes. Social networking sites were the most popularly used apps - 87 per cent - followed by instant messaging apps - 52 per cent - and then news apps - 51 per cent. Relationships were also noted in the research as, despite 46.8 per cent of participants speaking positively of

A woman at the centre of a vote-rigging row is being parachuted into a key marginal seat by Labour’s biggest union donor. Karie Murphy, a close friend of Unite leader Len McCluskey, was suspended by Labour in 2013 and reported to police after allegations that the union had tried to manipulate the selection process in Falkirk in her favour. She was later cleared and had her membership re-instated, but she quit as Labour candidate in the Scottish seat for the sake of ‘reconciliation and unity’. Karie Murphy, pictured, was involved in the Falkirk vote rigging scandal in 2013 which led to her suspension . Unite now wants Miss Murphy to be selected in key marginal Halifax where the current Labour MP, Linda Riordan, has announced she is stepping down. Her possible inclusion on an all-women shortlist, to be announced on Tuesday, risks re-opening the wounds of the bitter Falkirk row just weeks before the election and is proving a headache for Ed Miliband. The Labour leader has been warned that his party risks losing the seat if Miss Murphy is selected, but the union could stop bankrolling the party’s election campaign if she is not chosen. Unite has already mounted a strong campaign to ensure Miss Murphy is the candidate. Mrs Riordan, also a Unite member, has taken her on a tour of the seat to introduce her to local members. The pair have also been pictured campaigning with Labour councillors. Unite is also organising a campaign day in the seat on Sunday, two days before the candidates on the all-women shortlist are revealed. It is hoping to flood the constituency with members from all over Yorkshire and Humber in what is seen as a ‘peacock exercise’ to show off the resources it could deploy if Miss Murphy is chosen. Unite members in the region have been told their support ‘is vitally important’. Len McCluskey, pictured, wants Miss Murphy included on the all-woman shortlist in Halifax . A spokesman for the union last night confirmed that it ‘hopes’ Miss Murphy is put on the shortlist of candidates. He dismissed suggestions that Mr McCluskey had threatened to halt funding Labour’s General Election campaign if she is not chosen as ‘complete and utter rubbish’. Labour yesterday confirmed that an all-women shortlist would be decided for the Halifax seat on Tuesday, with the local party voting on its chosen candidate next Saturday. The shortlist is picked by the ‘special selection panel’, which Mr Miliband sits on. The announcement came hours after Mrs Riordan claimed the party had been ‘dragging its feet’ over the selection since she made her decision more than a month ago that she would step down on health grounds. In a letter to the party’s general secretary Iain McNicol, which was leaked to the local paper, she claimed that there were suspicions the selection was being delayed so the party could impose its own candidate. The seat, where Mrs Riordan has a majority of 1,472, is number 18 on the Tories’ target list. Unite has given Labour more than £14million since Mr

Summary: Karie Murphy was suspended during a vote-fix scandal in Falkirk in 2013 . Miss Murphy was cleared by the Labour party after the investigation . The Unite member is now seeking the party's nomination in Halifax . Miss Murphy is a friend on union boss Len McCluskey, who is backing her . Labour is imposing an all-woman shortlist on members in Halifax .


Ed Miliband yesterday left the door open to a Labour-SNP coalition after the General Election – as the latest polls point to a ‘Braveheart battalion’ of nationalists storming Westminster. In a speech to party members in Edinburgh, led by Jim Murphy, the Labour leader ignored calls from his own frontbench, led by Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls and Health Spokesman Andy Burnham, to rule out a deal with Nicola Sturgeon’s party. Last week a poll by Tory peer Lord Ashcroft put the SNP on track to increase its representation at Westminster to 56 of Scotland’s 59 seats, up from just six seats now. Scroll down for video . In a speech led by Jim Murphy (left), Ed Miliband (right) ignored calls from his own frontbench to rule out a deal with Nicola Sturgeon's party . This means that dozens of nationalist candidates are knocking on the door of the Commons. They include Tommy Sheppard in Edinburgh East who, as The Mail on Sunday has previously reported, left aggressive messages about the Monarchy during the Royal Wedding – including the line ‘off with their heads’ – and Mhairi Black, aged just 20, who has talked about headbutting her Labour opponents in Paisley. The SNP’s projected success could cancel out Labour gains in other parts of the UK, leading to a dead-heat between the two main parties – and allowing nationalists to play ‘kingmakers’. Many Labour MPs think the only way to avert a humiliating collapse is for Mr Miliband to tell voters he won’t deal with the nationalists, to persuade anti- Conservative voters that a vote for him is the only way to remove David Cameron from Downing Street. However Mr Miliband barely mentioned the SNP at the Scottish Labour spring conference. The Labour leader said: ‘The Tories could wreak havoc in Scotland without winning a majority by being in government as the largest party.’ Tommy Sheppard - Edinburgh East . Sheppard is an unreconstructed republican who tweeted ‘off with their heads’ during the Royal Wedding in April 2011 and said ‘this might be a good time to declare a provisional government’. Unreconstructed republican: Tommy Sheppard . Mhairi Black - Paisley and Renfrewshire South . The student, who is tipped to beat the Shadow Foreign Secretary Douglas Alexander at the age of just 20 – which would make her the Britain's youngest MP – wants to headbutt ‘fat-cat Labour councillors’ and tweets about her boozy antics. Future MP? 20-year-old student Mhairi Black . Paul Monaghan - Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross . Monaghan was suspended in 2008 from his job as head of planning and development at Northern Constabulary, a Scottish police force, after circulating an unflattering email about his boss. Paul Monaghan: Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross . Martin Docherty - Dunbartonshire West . Docherty issued a call to arms to nationalist supporters in January, with the volunteer activist urging voters to take the opportunity to ‘hold Westminster’s feet to the fire’. Martin Docherty: Dunbartonshire West . Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh - Ochil and South . The ex-soap actress was a Tory and then briefly

Diego Costa may be Chelsea's star striker but he has well and truly misfired in this season's Champions League. Chelsea were knocked out of the last-16 on away goals on Wednesday night after the tie against PSG finished 3-3 on aggregate. And yet again it was another barren night for Costa, who has failed to score a single goal in seven Champions League appearances - a total of eight hours and 28 minutes of action - this season. Diego Costa shows his frustrations during Chelsea's Champions League exit on Wednesday night . PSG defender David Luiz gestures towards Costa during the 2-2 Champions League draw at Stamford Bridge . Costa (centre) argues with PSG defender Thiago Silva on a frustrating night for Blues fans . It pales into comparison with the Brazilian-born Spain striker's Premier League goalscoring record of 17 goals in 21 appearances. Costa has averaged 2.4 shots per game in the Premier League, while he could only manage 1.7 in Europe's premier club competition. The 26-year-old's domestic shooting accuracy (shots on target) is 68 per cent, which beats his European figure of 50 per cent. Costa's failure to score in the competition this season is all the more remarkable when you consider how influential he was in Atletico Madrid's run to the final last year. He scored eight goals in nine Champions League appearances last season and finished as the competition's third highest scorer. Costa celebrates after Chelsea go 2-0 up against Spurs in the Capital One Cup final - but it was an own goal . Costa scores Chelsea's third goal in the 5-0 win against Swansea at the Liberty Stadium in January . In general, Costa's cup record for Chelsea has been poor, also failing to score in one FA Cup and three Capital One Cup appearances. Some, including the man himself, have argued that he deserves credit for Chelsea's second goal in their 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Capital One Cup final but it was officially given as a Kyle Walker own goal after a deflection. It aptly sums up his woes for Chelsea in the cup competitions this year.

It was a coal freighter that overturned in a horrific storm in 1940, sinking, along with the 32 crew aboard, 210 feet below the surface of Lake Michigan, just off the coast of Pentwater. While the shipwreck of the SS William B. Davock was finally found, upside down, by divers in 1972, an investigation into why it sank was deemed all but impossible, due to the murkiness of the water. Until now. A group of West Michigan-based explorers believe they have determined what caused the Davock to succumb to the 30-foot waves brought on by ferocious blizzard. Scroll down for video . Mystery: The SS William B. Davock, a coal freighter built in 1907, sank to the bottom of Lake Michigan on its way to Chicago on November 11, 1940, during a ferocious storm. The reason for its sinking was unknown . Wreck: The ship sits upside down on the shore of Lake Michigan, 210 feet below the surface and just off the coast of Pentwater. Because of the way it sits and the murkiness of the water, investigations weren't possible . The Michigan Shipwreck Research Association (MSRA), a nonprofit underwater archaeological organization, were able to make their way down to the wreck on a clear day last fall. The dive allowed for the first-known footage of the ship to be taken. The footage, taken by MSRA diver Jeff Vos, of Holland, showed a broken rudder and snapped propeller blade. 'The waves were so strong, they must have snapped the rudder's connection, at which point it swung so far over that it struck the propeller,' Vos told Michigan Live. 'With no power or steering, the Davock would have been at the mercy of the storm.' The Davock had little warning the storm was to hit on November 11, 1940. With 75 mph winds, 30-foot waves and rain turning to snow, it is still referred to as 'the most disastrous day in the history of Lake Michigan shipping'. Discovery: During a dive last fall, the Michigan Shipwreck Research Association (MSRA), a nonprofit underwater archaeological organization were able to capture the first-ever footage of the wreck, determining a rudder the broke in the storm struck the propeller (pictured) Taking coal to Chicago, the Davock went down five miles out from Little Sable Point between Ludington, Michigan and Pentwater, Michigan. Another ship, cargo carrier the SS Anna C. Minch, also went down, along with all 24 aboard, while several other ships were damaged and ran aground. MSRA board member, Craig Rich, further explained what caused the Davock to sink. 'It would have sent the ship into what we call a shivering mode,' he told MLive. 'Without the rudder, it wouldn't have been able to steer and without the propeller working properly you can't drive it forward. 'The ship would have gone into the trough of the wave sideways which would have swamped the ship.' 'X' marks the spot: The shipwreck of the Davock five miles out from Little Sable Point between Ludington, Michigan and Pentwater, Michigan. The freighter was en route to Chicago when it

Summary: The SS William B. Davock capsized during a storm on November 11, 1940 . It sank 210 feet below the surface of Lake Michigan, landing upside down . Its landing and the murkiness of the water made investigations difficult . Divers were able to get the wreck last fall and take footage . They determined the rudder broke in the storm and snapped the propeller . With no power or steering, the ship succumbed to 30-foot waves .


Paris Saint-Germain defender David Luiz has warned Chelsea they won't achieve success by simply sitting back when the two sides meet at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday. The first leg of the Champions League tie ended 1-1, meaning a goalless draw would be enough to send Jose Mourinho's side through to the next round. But Luiz, who spent three years in west London before his £50million summer transfer to PSG, said it would be foolish of his old club to invite pressure on themselves considering the strength of the Ligue 1 champions' attacking options. David Luiz has warned his old club Chelsea of the dangers of simply sitting back against Paris Saint-Germain . Luiz spent three years in west London before his £50million summer transfer to the French champions . 'I know how Jose (Mourinho) will prepare for this, he will be telling the boys to be patient and hit us on the counter attack,' Luiz told The Mirror. 'He knows that we need to score and that they don't, I know that is his way. We must be careful because I know that Chelsea have the ability to hurt on the counter attack, but they must be careful as well. 'To sit back and just defend against Zlatan (Ibrahimovic), (Edinson) Cavani and (Ezequiel) Lavezzi can also be very dangerous, so it is not just us who have to be careful.' He added: 'We have players that are used to big occasions, and playing in big stadiums, we know we can do this.' Edinson Cavani scored against Chelsea when these two sides met in February at the Parc des Princes . Branislav Ivanovic gave Chelsea the lead in the first leg of the Champions League tie at Parc des Princes . The first leg finished 1-1, but Souleymane S will not be there to see the second leg after refusing his invitation .

Ryanair pilots were forced to wear oxygen masks as they made an emergency landing in Barcelona today after a fire extinguisher went off in the cockpit. Passengers said the pilot and first officer were unable to breathe without the masks as halon - a liquefied, compressed gas - filled the confined space as the plane flew from London Stansted Airport to Valencia. TV presenter and professional sailor Hannah White said that passengers suspected there was a serious problem, but they did not know the reason for the emergency landing until they arrived at Barcelona-El Prat Airport. Ryanair flight FR8321 was met by fire trucks when it landed at Barcelona-El Prat Airport . Hannah spoke to told MailOnline Travel as she and other passengers sat on the plane while the pilot and co-pilot were checked over by medical staff. She said: ‘One of the fire extinguishers in the cockpit went off and it’s got halon gas, which is very dangerous, and as a result the pilot and first officer couldn’t breathe.' Ryanair described it as a minor fault involving a fire extinguisher and said the flight crew followed standard procedure by putting on their masks. Hannah added: ‘The oxygen masks deployed [for the flight crew] and we dropped down to a very low altitude. ‘When [the pilot] came over the tannoy to talk to us you could hear them breathing through the oxygen masks. Passengers said they were unaware of the reason for the emergency landing but knew it was serious . TV presenter and professional sailor Hannah White tweeted a photo of fire trucks on the tarmac . ‘The first thing we heard was “emergency landing”, said three times by the captain, which indicates a massive issue.’ Hannah said the announcement didn’t send immediate panic through the cabin as the passengers had no idea why flight FR8321 was diverting. She said: ‘It was clear that something was wrong. I would have to say the whole situation was dealt with amazingly and professionally.’ One of the flight attendants became anxious and oxygen masks did not deploy for passengers in the cabin, she added. Passengers hailed the crew for their professionalism while the plane diverted to Barcelona . Several passengers tweeted updates while the plane was on the ground and the pilots were checked over . Fire trucks greeted the Boeing 737 when it touched down shortly after 10:15am local time as passengers began to grasp the nature of the emergency. Hannah, 31, said: ‘We had very limited information until we were about to land. It was fairly calm on board, I have to say.’ Once people learned of the reason for the emergency landing they became agitated that they weren’t told sooner, she said. ‘It’s hot [on the plane], and people are pretty keen to get off or find out what’s going on.’ The flight crew declared an emergency over southern France and changed their flight path .

Auctioneer Graham Barton said the final selling price of the 502 sq ft block and grounds overlooking St Austell Bay had been ‘a breathtaking outcome’. He said: ‘It was a spectacular lot, I haven't seen something with so much potential in as long as I can remember. ‘This is arguably the most gloriously located residential development opportunity for sale in Cornwall today. ‘It has stunning panoramic and jaw dropping sea views. The property looks southwards across St Austell Bay with the historic harbour at its western edge. ‘There is huge potential for a fantastic family home or holiday home with extension or complete replacement among the options subject to planning consent.’ The lot included land to the front and opposite the block, with possible permission to extend.

Fast bowler Mohammad Amir came agonisingly close to a hat-trick in his return to domestic cricket on Friday after a ban of four-and-a-half years. Amir removed opening batsman Naved Malik and Ali Sarfraz off successive deliveries in his fourth over of a grade-two match, one level below first-class cricket. He still took three wickets in his first six-over spell at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, conceding 23 runs. However, his second spell was ineffective as the left-armer was smashed for 31 runs in three overs without success. Mohammad Amir (centre) took three wickets in on his comeback on Friday after his four-and-a-half year ban . 'I always try to make batsmen play as much as possible,' he said. 'I am trying to give 100 percent, but to be honest with you, it's not easy after all these years. It's like starting from zero.' Amir was banned from all cricket after pleading guilty in 2010 to charges of bowling deliberate no-balls at pre-arranged times to fix spot betting markets, while playing for Pakistan in a Test against England at Lord's. The International Cricket Council shortened his five-year ban in January, for his cooperation with its anti-corruption and security unit. The 22-year-old Amir made a delayed return when his match last Tuesday was washed out. He's playing for Omar Associates in the three-day Patron's Trophy. 'Four and a half years ago I was at my peak, and I can't get back those years,' Amir said. 'But as a Muslim, I believe there's always a lesson in life. I can't rewind those years but I should avail what time I have ahead of me.' Amir (left) almost took a hat-trick in his opening spell but did manage to take three wickets for 23 runs . He has at least two more three-day matches in the tournament, then plans to play in domestic T20 tournament next month. 'I delivered 90 percent of my deliveries where I wanted to. The inswingers which were there in 2009 are still coming up nicely,' he added with a broad smile. Amir has received a mixed response about his international future. Former Pakistan board chairman Tauqir Zia and ex-captain Ramiz Raja say he shouldn't represent Pakistan again because he's tainted. But Amir seems to be unruffled by the critics. He has set his sights on Pakistan's series against India in December. Amir (left) was banned from all cricket in 2010 for spot-fixing during Pakistan's Test vs England at Lord's .

'Her entire family supports her through this most unbelievable time in our lives.' Green was reported missing last Monday after she failed to visit her father, Randy, on Saturday February 21, as planned. Her partner Frank Rees posted on Facebook on Tuesday begging Green to come home with their son. 'If anyone sees my beautiful fiancé [sic] please tell her that EVERYONE is worried sick about her and Justice,' he wrote. 'We love you Samantha. Just come home babe. I miss you and our son sooooo much. Whatever it is you want different we can fix. I love you momma.'

A $50 portable media player is . providing many North Koreans a window to the outside world . despite the government's efforts to keep its people isolated - a . symbol of change in one of the world's most repressed societies. By some estimates, up to half of all urban North Korean . households have an easily concealed 'notel', a small portable . media player used to watch DVDs or content stored on USB sticks . that can be easily smuggled into the country and passed hand to . hand. People are exchanging South Korean soaps, pop music, . Hollywood films and news programmes, all of which are expressly . prohibited by the Pyongyang regime, according to North Korean . defectors, activists and recent visitors to the isolated . country. Notel or 'notetel' - the name is a uniquely North Korean - a word combining 'notebook' and 'television' - are easily found onthe black market for around 300 Chinese yuan ($48) 'The North Korean government takes their national ideology . extremely seriously, so the spread of all this media that . competes with their propaganda is a big and growing problem for . them,' said Sokeel Park of Liberty in North Korea (LiNK), an . organisation that works with defectors. 'If Pyongyang fails to successfully adapt to these trends, . they could threaten the long-term survival of the regime . itself.' North Koreans have been spending money more openly, a sign . that some forms of entrepreneurship are increasingly tolerated . and that the state is easing some of its harsh controls over the . economy. In recent months, consumption has become more . conspicuous. 'The variety and number of places for locals to spend money . has really increased,' said one regular visitor to Pyongyang, . declining to be identified. 'People seem a lot more confident . flashing the cash than they used to be. I've seen people spend . $500 on a phone with no hesitation, for example.' There is no sign, however, that the regime in . nuclear-capable North Korea is loosening its grip, looking to . make substantial reforms or making any change in its . unpredictable ways of dealing with the outside world. But along with rising incomes, more goods are available in . the impoverished country, mostly on the black market but also in . some state-controlled stores. Notel or 'notetel' - the name is a uniquely North Korean . word combining 'notebook' and 'television' - are easily found on . the black market for around 300 Chinese yuan ($48), and are . also available in some state shops and markets. The device was legalised last year, according to . defector-run news outlets in Seoul - one of many recent measures . taken by the state to accommodate grassroots change. The new rules, however, also require North Koreans to . register their notel, enabling authorities to monitor who is . most likely to be watching banned foreign media.

David Cameron was forced to defend his decision to announce a sell-by date on his premiership yesterday as senior Tories accused him of trying to anoint George Osborne as his successor. Downing Street was struggling to contain the fallout from the Prime Minister’s extraordinary announcement that May’s general election will be his last. Friends dismissed rumours that Mr Cameron’s wife, Samantha, had asked him to make clear he would not seek a third term if re-elected, while Mr Cameron insisted he had simply given a ‘straight answer to a straight question’ and that most people would think that was a ‘sensible’ thing to do. Scroll down for video . Prime Minister David Cameron (pictured) was forced to defend his decision to announce a sell-by date on his premiership yesterday as senior Tories accused him of trying to anoint George Osborne as his successor . As Labour accused him of ‘arrogance’ for discussing a third election before he wins a second, he insisted he was ‘taking absolutely nothing for granted’. ‘My entire focus is on the next 44 days and the general election that will decide which team runs the country for the next five years,’ Mr Cameron said. But senior MPs warned that pre-announcing a departure before the 2020 election would inevitably undermine his authority if he remained in No 10. It came as Mr Cameron was reminded of his comments to Tony Blair when the former premier announced he was handing over the reins to then-Chancellor Gordon Brown mid-term. ‘Your authority is draining away,’ he told Mr Blair in the Commons in January 2007. ‘The Government can’t plan. Ministers are treading water. They are all waiting for the Chancellor and not listening to you.’ One former shadow minister said that by indicating he will depart in the next Parliament, Mr Cameron appeared to be seeking to head off moves to oust him on May 8 if he falls short of a Commons majority and tries to lead another coalition or a minority government. David Cameron has revealed he will stand down as Prime Minister before 2020 if he wins the next election . Senior MPs warned that pre-announcing a departure before the 2020 election would inevitably undermine his authority if he remained in No 10. Pictured: David Cameron visits a butchers in his Oxfordshire constituency . ‘He may think it will be harder for the men in the grey suits to come knocking when he has said he won’t be going on and on,’ the MP said. ‘The truth is he won’t last five minutes, let alone five years, if he loses again.’ There was particular consternation that Mr Cameron effectively fired the starting gun on a leadership contest by naming three potential successors: Home Secretary Theresa May, London Mayor Boris Johnson and Mr Osborne, the Chancellor. Mrs May and Mr Johnson have long been seen the leading rivals to be the next Tory leader, but Mr Cameron sparked frenzied speculation at Westminster by including his name of Mr Osborne, his closest ally. Since his unpopular Budget of 2012, Mr Osborne’s

Summary: David Cameron said earlier this week that he would not bid for a third term . Cameron said two terms were 'wonderful' but three 'might just be too many' Named Boris Johnson, Theresa May and George Osborne as successors . Has now insisted he was just giving ‘straight answer to a straight question’ PM also said he believed most people would think it was a ‘sensible’ thing . Mr Cameron said yesterday Thomas the Tank Engine was the television character he most identified with. In an interview with Netmums.com, Mr Cameron said: ‘He’s a British icon, he’s blue, he’s loyal and reliable – and he always saves the day.’ Lib Dems leader Nick Clegg opted for Paddington Bear, while Labour’s Ed Miliband sees himself as Captain Barnacles.

The unpopular chief has until next Monday to respond to the charge and is set to be locked out of his own club if ultimately found guilty. Oyston - who has been the constant target of fan protests over the course of the Seasiders’ worst season for decades - is also looking at a hefty fine and mandatory four-hour FA education course. The shocking text messages, seen by Sportsmail, emerged just before Christmas when he sent a series of vitriolic volleys to fan Stephen Smith, who he told to 'enjoy the rest of your special needs day out'. Oyston later apologised for his part in the exchange, however the FA announced on Monday that the messages allegedly constituted five breaches of its rules and now has until 6pm on March 30 to respond to the charge. In a another rant from Oyston, who has had abuse hurled at him as well this season, read: 'Stop texting f******, you shouldn't have ever started as you are one tiresome f***** that should spot trains not watch football. Get a life and consider yourself banned from the stadium. 'You are banned because I think you are a p****. 'Impossible to have a meaningful conversation with such a f******* as you.' Oyston has also joked with other fans that plans are afoot to see Blackpool, a Premier League side four years ago, spiral down to the Conference, with another text reading: 'I am a never-ending nightmare revenge mission'. Blackpool's fans protest against Oyston during the game against Charlton . A statement on the FA's website read: 'Blackpool FC Chairman Karl Oyston has been charged by the FA in relation to comments made in a text message exchange. 'It is alleged that the misconduct constituted five breaches of FA rules, and that during the text message exchange, Mr Oyston used abusive and/or insulting words towards a supporter of Blackpool FC. 'It is further alleged that each of these five breaches of FA Rule E3(1) is an 'Aggravated Breach' as defined in Rule E3(2), as each included a reference to disability. 'Mr Oyston has until 6pm on March 30, 2015 to respond to the charge.' The content of the messages first emerged just before Christmas and Oyston came under fire from fans of his own club as well as anti-discrimination group Kick It Out, while the local paper the Blackpool Gazette scrapped his weekly column with immediate effect. Blackpool fans have made their dislike for Oyston clear this season with songs and banners . The Seasiders chairman issued an apology via the club's official website in which he explained he was responding to threats and abuse to his own family. 'I would like to unreservedly apologise for any offence or distress caused by my text responses reported in the media recently,' he said. 'I regret stooping to the level of

The devastated family of a 29-year-old Australian woman who died after undergoing ‘simple’ cosmetic surgery in Mexico are desperately trying to find what happened to their ‘beautiful and gracious’ loved one. Evita Nicole Sarmonikas was admitted to a hospital in Mexicali, the capital city of the Mexican state of Baja California, on March 20 while on holiday with her boyfriend. She died on the same day, after reportedly suffering a heart attack. Her distraught family are at a loss to understand why she could not be saved. They highlight how Australian Medical advice shows that ‘even in the case of cardiac arrest a healthy young body can often be brought back to life when surrounded by a fully equipped hospital and a competent medical team’. Ms Sarmonikas’s family has set up a Facebook page in tribute to the ‘perfect and whole soul’ and to also help fundraise up to $20,000, which is needed to bring her body back home to Australia. They have also urged other woman not to 'risk death to improve on perfection'. Gold Coast woman Evita Nicole Sarmonikas has died in a Mexican hospital after undergoing surgery . ‘The autopsy showed Eva went into cardiac arrest following surgery. The hospitals' only response was to cling to their waiver, removing themselves from any liability,’ a family member wrote on the Facebook group. ‘There have been no answers and their only offer of “cooperation” was an urgency to return her to us in the form of ashes. The Australian Embassy has strongly advised we do not allow this to happen.’ Ms Sarmonikas’s family have been advised to travel to Mexico as soon as possible to request an independent autopsy – not carried out by the hospital where she died – and to bring her home. They say she 'did not have travel insurance and we were never prepared for a situation of this magnitude'. ‘Evita as we knew her on earth would be devastated at the amount of attention she is receiving at the moment, as she was extremely private and worked very hard to never be a burden on anybody,’ her family wrote. ‘However the abundance of love that we all hold for her is propelling the action that needs to be taken before she be laid to rest, and she deserves that.’ A Facebook tribute page has been set up for Evita to share advice and support and to help fundraise to bring her body home to Australia . One friend on Facebook described Eva as a 'shining light in the dark and unforgiving world' Her family are also asking for help in gaining legal and medical representation as advised by The Australian Embassy. Ms Sarmonikas’s family have not said what procedure Evita was undergoing before she died but they explained: ‘As beautiful as Evita was inside and out. She was still filled with certain inadequacies. As almost every woman on earth does.’ ‘Her perfect and whole soul was not strong enough in light of a world that constantly bombarded her with an urgency to demand more from herself

Her friend, Nicole, who nominated her for the prize said Ms Bush is 'one of the strongest and most lovely women' she has met, and very deserving of the cash.

Channel Nine weatherman Steven Jacobs arrived on Ms Bushes doorstep as part of the Today Show's Knock of Cash competition . Ms Bushe, who answered the door in her dressing gown, initially slammed the door in the presenter's face . 'This annoys me! It's called priorities! I was a single mum with two kids one with a disability for 8yrs, no family to help me and I never once was not able to pay my bills!' another commented. 'How about giving away cash to the average bloke & lady that work long hrs that are on a low wages just to give them a break well like that will ever happen these shows & radio shows always go after people with all the problems in world,' one Facebook user complained. Ms Bushe then leaped to her own defence, and swung back at the trolls attacking her. She explained that she had slept for little more than an hour overnight due to her medical condition, which explained her seemingly dazed and confused state when first opening the door. 'I opened the door in my robe (that didn't have a tie) having no idea who was there and to be honest was a bit worried having a mic shoved in my face by a complete stranger not knowing what was going on,' she wrote. Online trolls attacked the mum's win, saying she 'didn't have her priorities in order' and that her pregnancy wouldn't have caused her not to have a job . Ms Bushe quickly leaped to her own defence. 'I was in a good job and a comfortable position before I fell pregnant and was able to afford these luxuries' she said . 'As for
