A drug dealer will be paid compensation by the Government for the injuries he suffered in a high speed crash, despite being found with cannabis on him to sell - after a ruling by judges at the Appeal Court. Sean Delaney, of Bedworth, Warwickshire, was left with long term disabilities and personality changes after the Mercedes he was in, driven by an acquaintance, crashed in 2006 near Nuneaton. Delaney, a father of four, had to be cut free from the wreckage of the crash by firefighters and a football sized portion of cannabis - worth around £1,000 - was found in his jacket. The Department of Transport had initially refused to pay Delaney any compensation because he was caught in a criminal act, namely the sale of cannabis. Senior judges at the Court of Appeal have ruled that the Government must pay costs and compensation, likely to run into millions, to a man severely injured in a car crash who had cannabis. Judges said a UK law that allowed insurers to refuse paying people involved in crime compensation contravenes an EU directive . However senior have ruled that the UK policy of refusing to compensate accident victims who have been knowingly involved in crime contravenes EU directives concerning motor insurance. They have ordered the Department of Transport to pick up the bill for the breach. The Government must now pay around £180,000 of Delaney's expected £250,000 costs as well as pay him compensation for his multiple injuries, a sum that is likely to run into millions because of the extent of his injuries. Delaney had 'gone for a spin' with his acquaintance, Shane Pickett, who lost control of the £80,000 Mercedes 500SL sports car at high speed after trying to overtake on a bend in November 2006. The car crashed into a Toyota people carrier. The Mercedes then ended up in a garden and hit a tree. Its roof and passenger door had to be cut off to remove Pickett and Delaney from the wreckage. Delaney suffered severe head injuries and brain damage with nine weeks loss of memory, and multiple fractures and internal injuries, and a changed personality. A fireman found a package of cannabis hidden in Pickett's sock and, when Delaney was pulled out of the car, a block of 240 grams of herbal cannabis fell from his bomber jacket. Pickett was jailed for 10 months at Warwick Crown Court in 2007 after admitting dangerous driving and possessing cannabis. Mr Justice Jay said: 'Readers might think: There must be a rule reflecting public revulsion which bars such a claim. There is not' However, no action was taken against Delaney. Delaney attempted to sue his friend for damages for his injuries, but his claim was thrown out by Judge Gregory at Coventry County Court in January 2011. His claim against car insurers Tradewise Insurance Services and the Motor Insurers Bureau after the policy was declared void, was also thrown out because the judge ruled that the car journey was for the collection and transportation of illegal drugs for subsequent re-sale and

Summary: Sean Delaney was travelling in Mercedes with his friend in November 2006 . Driver lost control and crashed car, leaving Delaney with disabling injuries . When rescued Delaney was found with ball of cannabis to sell on him . Delaney, who now needs care, later tried to sue the car's uninsured driver . Insurers refused due to clause excluding vehicles involved in crime . But senior judges ruled exclusion clause is in breach of EU motor laws . As a result Government must pay costs and compensation for the breach . Sum is likely to run into millions for long term care of 41-year-old Delaney .


A mother has helped her own son become a father - by carrying his child as a surrogate. In a procedure believed to be a world first, a fertility clinic arranged the woman’s pregnancy using a donor egg and her son’s sperm. She offered to have the baby – with her husband’s consent – after plans by their son to have an IVF child with another female relative collapsed. The High Court (pictured) heard how a fertility clinic arranged the woman’s pregnancy using a donor egg and her son’s sperm . The extraordinary arrangement emerged when a High Court judge ruled that the son can now adopt the baby boy and become his legal father – even though in the eyes of the law he is also the infant’s brother. However, the move was met with howls of protest by critics, who described the procedure as ‘dubious’ and called for urgent reforms to prevent abuses of fertility law. Mrs Justice Theis, who did not identify the family, the clinic or the local authority in the area where they live, said: ‘The arrangement the parties entered into is not one, as far as I am aware, that either this court or the clinic have previously encountered and although highly unusual is entirely lawful under the relevant statutory provisions.’ The father, who is in his mid-20s and lives alone, has wanted to be a parent ‘for some considerable time’ but waited until he had a settled job and home so he could provide ‘the care a child would need’. Mrs Justice Theis (pictured) did not identify the family, the clinic or the local authority in the area where they live . The judge said he discussed the issue openly with family and close friends and arranged for another relative to act as surrogate mother, but the woman dropped out because of a medical condition. At that stage, Mrs Justice Theis said, the man’s mother discussed with her husband the possibility of stepping in to help. The family attended a series of counselling sessions and discussions with the clinic, which is licensed by regulator the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA). The plans, described by the centre’s medical director as unique, were then given the go-head after ‘careful consideration’. The baby, now seven months old, was born at full term and now lives with his father. However the judge warned others not to embark on surrogacy deals without ‘comprehensive legal advice’ because the process is a ‘legal minefield’. Mrs Justice Theis said that under the 2008 Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act, which governs surrogacy arrangements, the woman who carried the child is the legal mother. Her husband is the legal father because he consented to the pregnancy. Rules stipulate that a surrogate mother must hand over a child to two parents – usually a couple ‘in an enduring family relationship’. Under the law, it would be a crime to hand over the baby to the biological father alone. But the judge argued that the adoption would not break laws because the baby and its father

No Davis Cup match would be complete without some kidology, and some of that duly surrounds the match that everyone in Glasgow wants to see this weekend. Andy and Jamie Murray versus world champions Bob and Mike Bryan on Saturday looks to be the pivotal rubber of the World Group first round knockout match between Great Britain and America, which begins this afternoon at the Emirates Arena. Yet the home side were trying to play down expectations that it would happen on Thursday. Middlesex's Dom Inglot was officially named to play with Jamie Murray while the former Wimbledon champion insisted it was 'unlikely' he would play on Saturday. (From left to right) Dom Inglot, Jamie Murray, captain Leon Smith, James Ward and Andy Murray fancy their chances of taking down the USA with the backing of a noisy Glasgow crowd . Murray admits he is unlikely to team up with brother Jamie in an all-sibling Davis Cup doubles pairing . Murray will face the USA's Donald Young in Friday's opening singles tie in Glasgow's Emirates Arena . Jamie Murray (left), Andy Murray (centre) and Smith speak to the media on Thursday . The smart money, however, would be on a clash of two siblings as the emotional centrepiece of what ought to be a fascinating three days. If, as expected, the match stands at 1-1 by Friday night then GB Captain Leon Smith will surely opt to throw in his trump card against the world's leading pair - however unlucky that would be for Inglot, who has actually beaten them twice this year with Romania's Florin Mergea. The Murrays against the Bryans would have so many ingredients: brothers versus brothers, Wimbledon champions versus Wimbledon champions, the ultimate doubles specialists versus a supreme singles player. SNP versus USA? Let's not go there. Playing America in the Davis Cup is not what it was twenty years ago, but there is still a cachet about the fixture that was the original challenge match for this competition when it was invented in 1900. It is mostly the homecoming of the Murrays that will ensure that the indoor arena next door to Celtic Park will be noisily packed to the rafters when the match begins. Jamie, who has had a cold, on Thursday declared himself fully fit. The doubles will see a crescendo reached, and it is notable that one of the game's most experienced Referees, Stefan Fransson, has been allocated to the match to ensure that everything remains as orderly as possible. As Jamie pointed out, the crowd will be 'full of people we've known our whole life, a lot of familiar faces.' Andy acknowledged that part of the task for him will be to control his emotions over the three days: 'The beginning of the matches are normally where I find it would affect me most in Davis Cup. When you come out, the national anthem, the crowd getting right into it at the beginning. Yes, it's an emotional experience. And sometimes at the beginning of the matches you can be a bit fired up,

Summary: Great Britain face USA in the Davis Cup first round this weekend . Andy Murray will go up against USA's Donald Young on Friday . Great Britain's James Ward will face John Isner on the same day . Middlesex's Dom Inglot was officially named to play with Jamie Murray in the doubles on Saturday . GB will be aiming for their first home win at this elite level of the competition since 1986 .


Kell Brook is determined to complete his remarkable journey from 'game over' to home city glory when he puts his IBF welterweight title on the line for the first time in Sheffield on Saturday night. The 28-year-old will take to the ring against Romanian Jo Jo Dan less than six months after a horrific machete attack in Tenerife which left him fighting for his life with blood pouring from a 12-inch wound. And having fought his way up through the city's sports halls and leisure centres to finally top the bill in front of an expected crowd of more than 10,000, Brook admitted his biggest battle might be to stop his emotions getting the better of him. Kell Brook poses on the scales at the weigh in ahead of his match with title challenger Jo Jo Dan . Brook will defend his IBF welterweight title against Dan in his home city of Sheffield on Saturday night . Brook is set to compete less than six months after a horrific stab attack nearly left him dead in Tenerife . Dan poses on the scales at the weigh in ahead of his title match with IBF welterweight champion Brook . Brook's attack left him with a 12-inch wound on his thigh and he has shown great strength to recover . Brook said: 'When I was laid in hospital with my leg tied up it felt like I was at the bottom of my ocean and I remember when it first happened my whole life flashed before my eyes. 'I thought, 'this is game over for me now', but I remember getting to the hospital and being wheeled out and feeling the fresh air and seeing the birds flying about and thinking 'I'm here, I'm alive'. 'I think when you've been that close to death it definitely changes you. 'It is going to be hard going from the leisure centres to packing out the Arena, but I was born to do this and I believe I perform better under pressure. 'It took me a long time to get this belt and with what I've had to go through there is no way on this earth Jo Jo Dan is taking it off me. I've kept everyone waiting and they are in for a real treat.' Brook took the title from previous holder Shawn Porter in California in August and knows victory over Dan could pave the way to much more lucrative bouts in the 147lbs division. While his stated aim of sealing a showdown with the winner of the May super-fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao may be over-ambitious, plenty of other potential money-spinning bouts remain. Brook claimed the IBF welterweight title in 2014 when he defeated the previous holder Shawn Porter (left) Brook and Dan square up with one another ahead of their IBF title match in Sheffield on Saturday .

A talented designer has come up with a real 'floating palace' that is sure to catch the eye of superyacht owners. Lujac Desautel's SALT concept is very much a luxury item. But it is no celebrity-style motoryacht; it is a 180ft yacht, complete with two masts and huge sails. The living quarters resemble a glass box, offering stunning views 24/7 and the glass area can be folded away so as to open up the yacht and take in the sea air. There are also steps that can be folded down into the sea giving you your very own swimming pool. Scroll down for video . Lujac Desautel's SALT concept is a 180-foot vessel with sails instead of a motor that is very much a luxury item . The downstairs area resembled more like a pool-side lounging section, with easy access for a quick dip in the sea . Included on board is a dining area that can cater for 12 people, a cocktail bar and even an interior garden. There is one master cabin, two VIP cabins and two twin-bed residences. The yacht is a progression from Desautel's GLASS structure which was inspired by skyscrapers and Lego and resembles a gleaming block rising from the sea. Instead, this sailing yacht is a somewhat more dreamy offering. 'The world is a laboratory of ideas that can be borrowed,' Desautel writes on his website. 'Certain typologies can evolve because they have adoptive features. SALT could be thought of as an evolution of these preconceived ideas.' A walk down to the lower deck offers a stunning balcony view that can also act as a sun trap . The yacht is a progression from Desautel's GLASS structure which was inspired by skyscrapers and Lego . For any crew employed there are also four twin-bed cabins in a separate part of the yacht. On his website Desautel describes how he believes 'great design offers an authentic beauty that invites people to consider experiencing the world in a different way; perhaps a way they never imagined.' Desautel was last year nominated for Young Designer of the Year by Boat International Media and is a Bachelor of Architecture Student at California College of the Arts in the US. Although the ideas are only at the 'design' stage, it is hoped the innovative and futuristic superyacht may well be just what one millionaire is after. The upper deck offers relaxing space, and despite the choppy seas there are plenty of facilities to keep you relaxed on board . Benjamin Maltby, Principal Consultant at MatrixLloyd – the worldwide authority on superyacht purchase and construction – gave MailOnline Travel his views on the SALT concept. 'I really like many of SALT's features. Sure, it's been created by a young designer – and this shows – but with a little further investment it could be turned into a glorious, ground-breaking vessel. 'The great thing about superyachts is that no planning permission is needed to build one – there are just some common sense safety regulations to be met. So buyers can make a

Summary: SALT is the latest superyacht concept by US based designer Lujac Desautel . Living quarter in the form of a centrally located glass box that can become open air . In keeping with environmental objectives, yacht has sails instead of a motor .


An aspiring foreign manager emboldened by radical ideas meets a settled, ego-fuelled dressing room that’s enjoyed no little success. Sound familiar? For Peter Lawwell, the warning signs upon appointing Ronny Deila to the Celtic manager’s post last summer were to be found not a million miles from home. When Paul le Guen arrived at Rangers in the summer of 2006, there seemed solid grounds for fans of the Ibrox club not to question if the Frenchman would be a runaway success, but to just what extent. Celtic manager Ronny Deila (left) and chief executive Peter Lawwell launch new kit deal at Celtic Park . Lawwell has dismissed comparison between Deila and former Rangers boss Paul le Guen (right) After a difficult start, Deila has started to turn things around at Parkhead . This was, after all, not only a coach who had brought three successive titles to the Ligue 1 club Lyon, but one who had made them a name to be feared across Europe. If le Guen could drop just a little of his je ne sais quoi into the Ibrox water, the sky would be the limit. So went the theory, anyway. Yet, by January 4 the following year, the Frenchman was already history — his departure a cautionary tale of too much, too soon, resistance to change and the importance of unstinting backing from the boardroom. Disastrous though le Guen’s short tenure was, to this day it’s only natural for the rump of the Rangers support to wonder what might have transpired had he been afforded more time. Fast-forward eight years to the start of this season and — on the other half of the city — parallels with the Frenchman were being drawn. Whilst Stromsgodset were much further down the football food-chain than Lyon, Deila still arrived with the pedigree of being a league winner as a manager. And, just as le Guen had faced resistance from a squad used to Alex McLeish’s methods for so long, much of the Norwegian’s methodology was bound to grate with a squad that had thrived under Neil Lennon. When domestic reverses began to intertwine with European capitulations, there seemed a danger that history might repeat itself. Lyon's former league winning manager Le Guen arrived at Ibrox with a big reputation in 2006 . The Frenchman left Rangers the following January after losing games and the dressing room . ‘When we set off with him, we knew we were going to give him time,’ Lawwell insisted. ‘If you go back to le Guen — I always say to Ronny about the “le Guen hump”. ‘When he came in, he’d won three-in-a-row in France, had new ideas, a new philosophy and a new culture. ‘It didn’t work. It was revolution rather than evolution. Bang. The players revolted and he went out. ‘So we had to get over that le Guen hump if you like and manage through that. ‘You get the players on board and get everything settled down. He’s done that brilliantly.’ Notwithstanding Wednesday’s home defeat to St Johnstone, there is no

Summary: Ex-Lyon boss Paul le Guen arrived at Rangers with big reputation in 2006 . Frenchman was sacked in January 2007 after a disastrous tenure at Ibrox . Celtic chief Peter Lawwell has dismissed similarities with Ronny Deila after Norwegian recovered from a difficult start .


A fisherman told last night about the one that got away – a suspected Russian submarine which became entangled in his nets after it strayed inside British waters in the North Sea. Angus Macleod, 46, was fishing for haddock and skate when he became convinced that a hostile vessel was caught up below his boat Aquarius. The submarine attempted to free itself, taking the 65ft vessel and his two-ton catch with it. Angus MacLeod (pictured) a fishing boat skipper, has lodged an incident report with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and the Marine Accident Investigation Branch following the unusual occurence . Mr MacLeod was told that submarines were operating in the area when the incident occurred (file picture) Mr Macleod, whose account is being examined by the Marine Accident Investigation Board, said: ‘Suddenly a force beneath our boat dragged the nets from behind us to in front of us. It was very powerful because the nets were full of fish and very heavy. ‘The submarine was then ahead of Aquarius and heading on a northerly bearing towards international waters and bringing our nets along behind it. Only a submarine could have done this – it was a clear, still night and there were no other boats around. ‘Had the submarine headed for deeper waters we might have sunk with it, but I don’t want to dwell on that. 'We were eventually cut loose when the 150ft-long dog rope, which attaches the nets to the ship, wrapped itself around Aquarius’s propeller and got ripped apart. We were then able to sail back to port.’ Mr MacLeod says he suffered around £10,000 in damage and loss of earning due to the damage to his boat . Mr McLeod said following the incident: 'I've been at sea for 30 years - and between the five of us there is 110 years experience - and in our collective times we have never experienced anything like that' Mr Macleod, a fisherman for 30 years, never saw the submarine but is convinced that such a vessel caused the incident. It follows an upsurge in covert operations by the Russian navy in the waters surrounding the British Isles and patrols on the periphery of UK airspace by Russian aircraft. He added he was told by the coastguard that there was no Nato submarine activity in the area where the incident took place. The Ministry of Defence said it did not comment on submarine operations, while Foreign Office sources suggested they would consider the outcome of an MAIB investigation before making any approach to the Russian Embassy. The incident caused damage worth £10,000 and lost fishing time. Mr Macleod added: ‘If you give me the address, then I’ll send the bill to Moscow.’

Summary: Fishing boat skipper Angus MacLeod says submarine got caught in nets . Incident saw his net dragged away from trawler causing £10,000 damage . Coastguard told him there was submarine activity in the area that day . MoD deny there was any UK or Nato submarine activity in the area .

In 2001, then-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Bernard Kerik was like a brother to him, at the police commissioner's NYPD retirement ceremony. But just five years later, as he was accused of ethics violations and conspiracy charges, Kerik learned that Giuliani's friendship was anything but as strong as blood. In his new memoir From Jailer to Jailed, due out Tuesday and excerpted in the New York Daily News, Kerik details his fall from grace and how Giuliani cut ties not only with him, but with his wife and daughters - one of whom is Giuliani's goddaughter. From friends to strangers: Disgraced for New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik says ex-NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani abandoned him and his family once he was hit with legal woes in the mid-2000s. The two pictured above on Saturday Night Live following 9/11 (Kerik on the left, Giuliani on the right) Abandoning his own goddaughter: Kerik says Giuliani completely cut ties not only with him but with his family, including his daughter Celine who is Giuliani's goddaughter. Kerik pictured above with his family in New York City in December 2006. In the photo, Kerik holds daughter Angelina, with his arm around daughter Celine, next to wife Hala . When the first accusations against Kerik were lodged in 2006, his old pal Giuliani was gearing up for the 2008 presidential election and the two appeared to still be close. But in June of that year, Kerik went from being a 9/11 hero to a corrupt city official on the cover of tabloids when the Bronx District Attorney's Office hit him with two ethics code violations - one for not disclosing a personal loan on his conflict-of-interest report and the other for accepting renovations on his home from a New Jersey company vying for city work. It was in November that Kerik first started to feel the cold shoulder from the Giuliani camp. Writer: In his memoir From Jailer to Jailed (cover, left), due out Tuesday, Kerik details how he sent Giuliani a Bronco Buster statue (stock image right) for Christmas in 2006 and had the gift sent back with no explanation . Kerik says he was sitting in his office one day when his then 6-year-old daughter Celine came in and asked to send her godfather a present - one befitting a possible future president of the United States. 'Given that my daughter Celine was only six years old at the time, she had no idea of the difference between a Democrat and a Republican. All she knew was that people were saying that her godfather was going to be the next president of the United States. Disgraced: Kerik was sent to prison in 2010 after pleading guilty to felony tax and false statement charges. Pictured above at a press conference in November 2007 . 'She was talking about it twenty-four hours a day, as if that were the only thing going on in her little world.

Summary: Bernard Kerik was imprisoned for three years in 2010 when he pleaded guilty to felony tax and false statement charges . The former New York City police commissioner, who served during 9/11, was once as close as family with ex-Mayor Rudy Giuliani . But when he was first hit with accusations in 2006, he says the then-presidential hopeful stopped talking to him . In his new memoir due out Tuesday, Kerik says Giuliani also abandoned his goddaughter, Kerik's daughter Celine .


Chinese tourists have found themselves in more hot water in Thailand – where they have a strained relationship with locals – after a group was photographed washing their feet in public sinks. The photos are circulating on Thai and Chinese social media networks, leading to outrage in Thailand as locals insist the holidaymakers have committed a cultural faux pas. The images of tourists cleaning their feet and sandals inside a bathroom on the island of Phi Phi were snapped just weeks after Thailand’s government released an etiquette guide for Chinese holidaymakers following a series of incidents. Locals said the visitors committed a cultural sin by cleaning their feet and sandals in hand basins . In response to the outrage, authorities on the holiday island are keen to inform Chinese tourists that they are committing a cultural sin by washing their feet in hand basins, Phuketwan reported. The news website said locals avoid cleaning their feet in places where they wash the rest of their bodies, except in the shower. An island official told NetEase, a Chinese media agency, that the holidaymakers’ actions were ‘inappropriate’ and that notices will be posted in public bathrooms to discourage the behaviour. Thailand is a popular destination for millions of Chinese tourists every year, but locals have expressed frustration and outrage in response to the actions of a handful of visitors. Last month, Thailand’s tourist board announced that it would be handing out etiquette manuals to Chinese tourists who were visiting during the Chinese New Year. The relationship between Thais and Chinese tourists has been strained by a series of high-profile incidents . The manuals outlined how the holidaymakers are expected to behave while they visit Thailand. They were created after the Thai government received complaints from locals, who accused Chinese visitors of defecating in public, causing traffic accidents with reckless driving, and defacing tourist attractions. Chinese tourists were temporarily banned from even entering Wat Rong Khun, the Buddhist White Temple in Chiang Rai, after complaints that they had ruined the toilets.

Summary: Holidaymakers were photographed in bathroom on island of Phi Phi . Upset locals said the tourists committed a cultural faux pas . It occurred weeks after Thailand's government released an etiquette guide . A number of incidents has strained relations between locals and visitors .


Hundreds of hens who lay unique pastel-colored eggs have been stolen from a family's farm just weeks before Easter. Gerald Leuschen, who hand-raised the chickens on Buddy's Farm in Sonoma County, California, said he has been left emotionally and financially devastated by the loss - which he predicts will cost him around $22,000. 'I miss my birds,' he told the Press Democrat. 'They're so beautiful!' Leuschen, who runs the farm with his wife and their two young sons, said he first noticed about half of his 600 to 700 'Easter Egger' hens were missing after returning to work following a brief illness. Scroll down for video . 'Taken': The owners of Buddy's Farm in California (pictured) have had hundreds of chickens stolen. The targeted hens are known for laying colorful eggs which are particularly in demand around Easter . Special: The 'Easter Egger' chickens lay pink, blue, green and cream eggs (pictured) but owner Gerald Leuschen said his family is now collecting just half of the eggs they would expect to have right now . He told KTVU that the birds apparently vanished overnight from their coop, which he had always left closed but unlocked until the theft. It came just days after he noticed the coop was wide open and that some of the birds were outside, so he told his sons, aged 11 and 13, to make sure they secured the door behind them. 'For someone to come in and do that is a violation. It's a huge violation,' he told KTVU. 'I'm angry they're taking the food right out of my family's mouth, but I can't carry that anger.' He believes someone who knows the farm and knows chickens could be responsible, and that too many chickens have disappeared for an animal to be responsible, the Press Democrat reported. Heartbroken: Leuschen, pictured, runs the Sonoma County farm with his wife, sons and brother-in-law and said he is emotionally and financially devastated by the disappearance of the chickens . Loved: He said he misses his beautiful Easter Egger chickens, all of whom he hand-reared from birth . Leuschen, who started the business a few years ago, said he is down around $75 a day in earnings from eggs and about $100 invested in each chicken, for a total of more than $22,000. Easter Eggers are a mix of different breeds. Their eggs may be blue, green, pink, brown, olive or cream. Each hen will give lay just one egg color - they do not each lay a variety. Egg colors occur when pigments are deposited as an egg moves through the hen's oviduct. The exact color then hen will lay is determined by their genetics. For example, some breeds lay only white eggs (Leghorns) or brown eggs (Orpingtons), while others lay more colorful eggs. An Olive Egger lays green eggs because it is the result of cross breeding between brown- and blue-laying chickens. Likewise, because Easter Eggers are a hybrid breed, a coop will lay a mixture of colors. Quite often the color of the chicken's earlobe (the flappy piece

Summary: Half of the 600 to 700 chickens on Buddy's Farm in Sonoma County, California were apparently stolen earlier this month . Devastated owner Gerald Leuschen, who raised the birds by hand, says the theft has cost him as much as $22,000 . The 'Easter Egger' hens lay pink, blue, green and cream eggs, which are particularly popular around Easter . Leuschen is now appealing for information to get his chickens back .


A coronial inquest into the death of two-year-old Darcy Atkinson has heard that the toddler was covered in bruises and had traces of the stimulant Ritalin in his system when he died. He was rushed to Gosford Hospital by paramedics before being airlifted to Sydney's Westmead Children's Hospital after throwing up three times and going rigid in the bath under his mother's boyfriend Adam Taylor's care. 'We need to call an ambulance because this isn't normal,' Mr Taylor was urged by his flatmate, Nicole Warne, Glebe Coroners Court was told on Monday. Darcy died from brain injuries the next day, December 7, 2012. Darcy Atkinson, two, died of brain injuries in December 2012. He was covered in bruises and had traces of the stimulant Ritalin in his system when he died . The boy, described by his father Peter Atkinson as smart and proud, had earlier been paddle boarding with Mr Taylor, the inquest was told. This is despite his mother Tara Rae-Maxwell claiming her son was 'petrified' of water, News Corp reports. He'd experienced difficulty returning to daycare after a week-long holiday and was instead put in Mr Taylor's care after telling his mother Tara Rae-Maxwell he didn't want to go to school. While on the board, Darcy had fallen back and bumped his head, Mr Taylor is alleged to have written in a text to Ms Rae-Maxwell. Mr Taylor then took Darcy to the home he shared with Ms Warne for a swim. The toddler was rushed to Gosford Hospital by paramedics before being airlifted to Sydney's Westmead Children's Hospital (pictured) after throwing up three times and going rigid in the bath under his mother's boyfriend Adam Taylor's care . Darcy seemed fine, Ms Warne told the inquest, but he twice vomited while near the pool. Both adults became concerned when he again threw up, this time an alarming chunky-white mixture. They took Darcy to a bathroom and ran a bath to warm the boy but his body became stiff. 'That's when Adam started to panic,' Ms Warne said. Darcy, she said, was making loud, deep, gargling sounds but couldn't speak. The usually bright and assertive young boy had become lethargic and lost patches of hair in the days before his death, the court heard. When he died he had bruising on his ears, temple and limbs and traces of the stimulant Ritalin in his system. The Glebe Coroners Court (pictured) heard that the usually bright and assertive young boy had become lethargic and lost patches of hair in the days before his death . After informing Ms Rae-Maxwell Darcy had bumped his head, Mr Taylor allegedly sent her a photo of the boy. 'Adam sent me pictures all the time of Darcy when he had him,' Ms Rae-Maxwell said. But she repeatedly denied receiving the photo that day and it has never been located by investigators. Deputy State Coroner Hugh Dillon questioned how a mother who posted so many Facebook photos of her son couldn't locate the image. 'I know it sounds ridiculous. I've been through so many phones,'

Huge gaps exist in the . emails former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has . provided to a congressional committee investigating the 2012 . attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, the panel's . chairman said on Sunday. Republican Representative Trey Gowdy said his committee . lacked documentation from Clinton's trip to Libya after the . attack despite a popular photo image of her using a handheld . device during a flight to that country. 'We have no emails from that day. In fact we have no emails . from that trip,' said Gowdy, who heads the committee in the U.S. House of Representatives. 'There are huge gaps.' Off the grid? Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has reportedly not handed over emails from her 2012 trip to Libya, despite being pictured on a flight there with a device in her hand . Widely considered the frontrunner for the 2016 Democratic . presidential nomination, Clinton used a private email account . for all official business as President Barack Obama's secretary . of state from 2009 to 2013. Republicans have scrutinized Clinton's actions over the . Benghazi attack in which Ambassador Chris Stevens and three . other people were killed. The private email disclosure, . published in The New York Times last week, raised Republican . concerns about Clinton's commitment to transparency. She has since asked the State Department to release her . emails but a State Department official said the review would . take some time. Clinton gave the committee eight emails last August and 300 . in February related to the attack, Gowdy said on CBS's Face the . Nation. Last week, the committee subpoenaed the State Department . for other emails. Gowdy said that in fairness the committee . would not release the emails' content selectively. The State Department has requested email records from all . former secretaries of state, and Clinton has given it 50,000 . pages of records to review. Speaking separately on Sunday, former Secretary of State . Colin Powell, responding to reports he too had a private email . account rather than a government one, said he did not have . emails to give the department. 'I retained none of those emails and we are working with the . State Department to see if there's anything else they want to . discuss with me about those emails,' he said on ABC's This Week. Powell said that when he started as secretary of state under . Republican President George W. Bush, the State Department . computer systems were antiquated and he strove to update them. In November, its unclassified email system was hacked and had to . be shut down temporarily. Obama said on Saturday he only recently learned of Clinton's . private email account.

Summary: Hillary Clinton came under attack last week when it was revealed she used a private email account during her time as Secretary of State . Representative heading probe into attack on Benghazi says Clinton hasn't turned over any emails from her 2012 trip to Libya . Clinton was photographed on flight there with a phone in hand . That photo became famous when it was turned into a meme called 'Texts from Hillary' which poked fun at secretary's seriousness .

Early humans living in Africa almost two million years ago came in a range of shapes and sizes, just as people do today, a new study claims. Researchers have found that some species were short - measuring under five feet tall - while others would have grown to heights of almost six foot. The study is the first in 20 years to compare the body size of humans who lived between 1.5 million and 2.5 million years ago. Early humans living in Africa almost two million years ago came in a range of shapes and sizes, just as people do today, a new study claims. This image shows the skeleton of the ‘Nariokotome Boy’ (Homo ergaster) Three species are generally recognised to have roamed Africa during this time frame: Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis and Homo ergaster . Researcher Dr Jay Stock, from Cambridge University's Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, said: 'If someone asked you 'are modern humans six foot tall and 70kg?' you'd say 'well, some are, but many people aren't, and what we're starting to show is that this diversification happened really early in human evolution.' Nutrition and local environmental factors probably played a role in making some early humans larger than others. Experts also believe that sexual dimorphism (pronounced differences in appearance between males and females, such as size) might have played a part too. ‘However, almost all studied… groups include smaller and larger individuals and assessing sex based on the isolated and fragmentary postcranial remains of early Homo is nearly impossible,’ they say in the study. Another possibility, thought to be less likely, is that there were numerous species belonging to the human family Homo that varied in appearance. Measurements of fossils from sites in Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa, and Georgia in eastern Europe, revealed significant regional variation in the size of early humans during the last Ice Age. Some groups, such as those living Olduvai, Tanzania, measured just 4.8 feet on average, while those from the Koobi Fora region of Kenya grew to heights of 5.8 feet. The evidence also suggests that big bodies and long legs were not prerequisites for spreading out of Africa into Europe and Asia. The main increase in body size occurred tens of thousands of years after the small, primitive human Homo erectus migrated out of Africa. Fossils show that Homo erectus, which averaged less than five foot in height and weighed less than eight stone, was living in Georgia 1.77 million years ago. Some groups, such as those living Olduvai, Tanzania, measured just 4.8 feet on average, while those from the Koobi Fora region of Kenya grew to heights of almost six foot. A table showing the variation is pictured .

Summary: Experts developed a method of calculating the height and body mass of individuals from small fossil fragments, some no bigger than toes . Researchers found early man ranged from 4ft 8 inches to almost 6ft . It has been said ancestors left Africa as a result of developing longer legs . But this study suggests that there may have been another driving force . Experts also claim regional conditions may be to blame for diverse shapes . This suggests body size is not a fixed characteristic of a species . It is the first study in 20 years to compare the body size of humans who lived between 1.5 million and 2.5 million years ago .


A senior surgeon who sparked controversy after telling aspiring female doctors to go along with sexual abuse at work for the sake of their careers, has said she stands by her advice. In an ABC radio interview on Friday, Dr Gabrielle McMullin, a top vascular surgeon in Sydney, said sexism is so rife among male surgeons in Australian hospitals that young women would do best to grin and bear it. Her comments follow a warning she issued to young women at Sydney's Parliament House on Friday, during the launch of a book she co-authored on gender equality. 'What I tell my trainees is that, if you are approached for sex, probably the safest thing to do in terms of your career is to comply with the request,' she said. Sydney vascular surgeon Dr Gabrielle McMullin says sexism is so rife among surgeons in Australia that young woman who want a career in medicine would do best to 'comply' At the launch of 'Pathways to Gender Equality in Australia' on Friday, Dr McMullin advised female trainees to avoid putting themselves in vulnerable situations. But giving in to unwanted sexual advances is easier than pursuing perpetrators, she warned, because the sexism is so entrenched. Dr McMullin told ABC's AM program the story of Dr Caroline Tan, a young doctor who won a sexual harassment case in 2008 against a surgeon who forced himself on her while she was training at a Melbourne Hospital. Dr Tan didn't tell anyone what had happened until the surgeon started giving her reports that were so bad they threatened the career she had worked so hard for. But McMullin warns complaining to the supervising body is the 'worst thing' trainees could do. 'Despite that victory, she has never been appointed to a public position in a hospital in Australasia,' she said of the case. 'Her career was ruined by this one guy asking for sex on this night.' 'And realistically, she would have been much better to have given him a blow-job on that night.' 'Her career was ruined by this one guy asking for sex on this night'. Dr McMullin, who contributed a chapter titled 'Women in Medicine: Sisters doing it for themselves' to a new book on gender equality, has stood by her comments warning aspiring female medics to comply if approached for sex in the workplace . Dr McMullin's comments have been roundly criticised by others in the medical profession, women's rights and sexual abuse support groups as 'appalling.' The president of the Australian Medical Association of Victoria, Dr Tony Bartone, 'strongly disagrees' with Dr McMullin's advice. 'This old view of acceptance needs to be eradicated,' he told Fairfax media. 'Sexual assault is a crime and will not be tolerated by our society. The medical profession is not exempt from this maxim.' Despite the attacks, Dr McMullin stood by her comments on Saturday, saying her advice was practical and true, and it was offered because she is 'so frustrated with what is going on.' The public response on social media has been mixed, with many in

The police officer at the centre of the notorious Downing Street 'Plebgate' incident has accepted £80,000 damages in settlement of his libel action against former chief whip Andrew Mitchell. The conclusion of Pc Toby Rowland's defamation case against the MP was announced at the High Court in London today. Last November Mr Mitchell, who vehemently denied using the word 'pleb', lost a high-profile action against News Group Newspapers, publishers of the Sun. Scroll down for video . Former government chief whip Andrew Mitchell, left, has agreed to pay Pc Toby Rowland, right, £80,000 in damages after the Conservative MP accused the police officer of lying in connection with Plebgate . Mr Mitchell wanted to be allowed to use the main vehicle gates at Downing Street with his bicycle . Mr Mitchell denied using the word 'pleb' but a High Court judge later accepted that he probably did . A judge then declared he had reached the 'firm conclusion' that Mr Mitchell had used the 'politically-toxic' word in September 2012 when he was not allowed to cycle through the main Downing Street vehicle gates. Pc Rowland's lawyer, Jeremy Clarke-Williams, told Mr Justice Warby that since that judgment Mr Mitchell 'has abandoned the other defences he had raised to my client's claim and consequently terms of settlement have been agreed'. The solicitor added: 'The payment of £80,000 damages by Mr Mitchell sets the seal on Pc Rowland's vindication, as well as providing compensation for the injury to his reputation and the distress caused to him and his family over many months.' Neither Mr Mitchell nor Pc Rowland was in court. Mr Clarke-Williams told the judge: 'Pc Rowland never felt that the events in Downing Street were anything more than a minor incident. 'He was not responsible for the publicity which followed and would have much preferred that the whole matter had never entered the public domain. 'He now simply wishes to be left in peace to continue his police career.' Andrew Mitchell, pictured, wanted to be routinely allowed through the main vehicle gate at Downing Street . Mr Clarke-Williams said Pc Rowland, a Metropolitan Police officer of 'long standing', is a member of the Diplomatic Protection Group whose duties include the security of Downing Street. Giving the background to the case, he said: 'The events which gave rise to this litigation have received so much publicity that I need say relatively little about them.' Pc Rowland 'was the officer who let Andrew Mitchell MP, together with his bicycle, out of the pedestrian gate from Downing Street into Whitehall' on the evening of September 19 2012. 'What exactly Mr Mitchell said to Pc Rowland as he left Downing Street became the crux of the so-called 'Plebgate' controversy,' the lawyer said. Two days after the incident 'Mr Mitchell phoned Pc Rowland and apologised to him for his behaviour at the gates'. Mr Clarke-Williams added: 'Pc Rowland accepted that apology and wishes that had been the end of the matter. 'However, unfortunately the conduct of other officers which Pc Rowland regarded as totally unacceptable led to an

Summary: Pc Toby Rowland accepted an £80,000 offer from Tory MP Andrew Mitchell . Mr Mitchell claimed that Pc Rowland should be prosecuted over Plebgate . Pc Rowland had been interviewed at length and cleared of any wrongdoing . He sued the former chief whip for defamation in the High Court . Mr Mitchell lost his own libel case against The Sun newspaper last year . It is understood that the issue of legal costs has still to be determined .


Andy Cole has revealed how he was made to feel 'small' by a perceived snub from Teddy Sheringham that led to the England pair not talking. The former Manchester United striker played alongside Sheringham at Old Trafford for four years but did not enjoy a relationship with his compatriot following an incident on international duty. Cole made his England debut from the bench in a 0-0 friendly draw with Uruguay in 1995 and, in replacing then-Tottenham forward Sheringham, felt the lack of acknowledgement from his future United team-mate was disrespectful. Andy Cole (right) played alongside Teddy Sheringham at Manchester United for four years - but the pair never got on following a perceived snub from Sheringham during an England international in 1995 . Sheringham - and David Beckham - congratulate Cole after scoring in a 6-0 win over Bradford City in 2000 . 'From my England debut against Uruguay, he was going to be substituted for me to come on to replace him, and he snubbed me on the line,' Cole said. 'I just thought to myself, 'I'm making my debut here and Wembley is a packed house'. And I felt so small. 'I don't think his apology would come, because I honestly do believe that he believes he was not in the wrong.' Despite a fantastic goalscoring record at club level, Cole only made 15 international appearances and scored just once - famously calling former England boss Glenn Hoddle a 'coward' for announcing he was dropping Cole through the press. 'I don't think it was damaging to my career,' Cole said of his remarks. 'I just think a lot of the media and a lot of Joe Public picked up on that and ran with it and ran with it, and exhausted it. And I remember when it came out, I mean of course it was going to be massive news. He was the England manager.' Cole and Sheringham celebrate on the pitch in 2000 but the didn't speak off it . The pair come face-to-face when Cole played for Manchester City and Sheringham at West Ham in 2005 . Despite a prolific goalscoring record at club level, Cole won just 15 caps for England . Kevin Keegan and Cole, pictured here on international duty, fell out briefly in October 1993 . Cole also had a high-profile falling out with Kevin Keegan in 1993 while at Newcastle, something the striker said was a consequence of tiredness more than anything else. 'I felt so tired, and I couldn't get myself going,' Cole told ITV, 'He [Keegan] said, 'Don't you fancy it today?' So I said to him, 'No I don't fancy it today.' So he said, 'Well if you don't fancy it you can do one.' So I said, 'Okay, not a problem to me,' and I just walked off. 'I got in a taxi and my girlfriend then, she was at home so I just ended up going to hers. And I remember I rang the doorbell and she said to me, 'What are you doing here, you've got a game

Summary: Cole says Sheringham made him feel 'small' after snub on England debut . Incident happened when Cole made debut for country at Wembley in 1995 . Pair played together for Man United but didn't speak off the field . Cole made just 15 appearances for England despite prolific club form .

After a career spent going head-to-head in the Champions League, Barcelona captain Xavi Hernandez and former Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard are about to become team-mates, with the Spain international finalising negotiations on a move to New York City. The 35-year-old midfielder, who has played more games than any player in Barca’s history and won every honour possible, will join Manchester City’s MLS franchise at the end of this season ready to start playing for them in 2016. Xavi (centre) celebrates after collecting the second of his three Champions League medals in 2009 . The veteran midfielder (left) has only been a bit-part player under Luis Enrique this season at Barca . Spanish radio station Cadena SER reported on Wednesday that the player, his father Joaquín and his agent Ivan Corretja met with a representative from the club at the L'Arrosseria Xàtiva restaurant in Barcelona just a stone’s throw from the Nou Camp to negotiate his move to the US. Xavi looked set to leave Barcelona last summer but decided to stay for one more season after a conversation with coach Luis Enrique. Despite that commitment he has played only a small role this campaign and played no part in Barcelona’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City last week. His departure from Barcelona will mark the end of an era. He joined the club as an 11-year-old and went on to make more than 700 appearances. He has won seven La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues. Xavi's former Barcelona team-mate David Villa (above) is already at New York City . Ex-England midfielder Frank Lampard is unveiled at the new MLS franchise in July 2014 . It was Pep Guardiola who famously said of the young midfielder he saw coming through Barcelona’s youth system: ‘This player will retire me’. He ended up playing alongside him briefly before leaving the club and returning to build a team around the Spain star who also played 133 times for his country. Xavi's signing for New York City is a major coup and will also reunite him with former Spain and Barcelona team-mate David Villa, who will be expected to thrive on the service offered him by Xavi, and Lampard who also joins the MLS new boys after winning 11 major trophies at Chelsea in a 13-year period.

Summary: Xavi's Barcelona contract expires in the summer . Former Spain midfielder set to sign for MLS franchise New York City . He will join David Villa and Frank Lampard in New York .

Jurors were shown pictures of a little boy stuffed in a box to recreate the way six-year-old Etan Patz was allegedly discarded after being choked to death. A boy of Etan's height, weight and age was pictured in court on Friday curled up in a zip-up bag and squeezed into a produce box similar to the one Pedro Hernandez said he used to store the child's corpse in 1979. Etan, who went missing as he walked to school, was never found. He was declared dead in 2001. Horrific: This recreation shows a little boy stuffed inside a bag then a cardboard box. It is allegedly the way Etan Patz's lifeless body was discarded after he was choked to death on the way home from school . Etan (left), whose body was never found, was declared dead in 2001. Pedro Hernandez (right) is the suspect . Defense attorneys, who claim Hernandez's alleged confession is fiction, will begin presenting evidence on Monday in the trial that is expected to last for at least another month. Hernandez, from Maple Shade, New Jersey, told authorities he choked Etan in the basement of a Soho bodega and then put his body in a bag and tossed it in a box. In February, the trial was transformed by the discovery of three boxes of evidence from the investigation, including more than 1,400 pages of information. Alice Fontier, one of the attorneys representing Hernandez, said the findings could mean witnesses will be recalled. 'Given this massive disclosure at this point, in the middle of the trial, there may be issues,' she said. The boxes were found recently at a Harlem police station that covers public housing complexes in the area, prosecutors said late last week. 'Confession': Defense attorneys claim Hernandez's alleged confession (pictured), when he told police he strangled Etan in the basement of a Soho bodega in 1979, was fabricated . Fighting for justice: Here, Etan's father Stanley Patz and his sister Shira Patz are pictured outside court . The location is miles from the precinct near where Etan disappeared on May 25, 1979, as he walked to school. Etan's body has never been found, and he was declared dead in 2001. The boxes contain police records from the investigation, notes from assistant district attorneys who worked on the case and handwritten memos from a detective who investigated longtime suspect Jose Ramos, who was never charged. Some of the information involves two informants who were working with prosecutors to try to link Ramos to Etan's death. Other boxes contain missing-person posters, records of people arrested and catalogs of files made by the original detective on the case. Tragic: This is the missing poster which was made and plastered around New York after Etan's disappearance . Immediately after the discovery in mid-February, Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon said that prosecutors were working to turn over the information to the defense attorneys. Outside court, defense attorney Harvey Fishbein said it was unclear what the documents contain but he hopes they won't affect the case and he doesn't want a mistrial.

Summary: Pictures of boy stuffed in a bag then a box shown to court on Friday . Murder suspect Pedro Hernandez allegedly told police he choked six-year-old Etan Patz then tossed his body in a box. The body was never found . Etan went missing as he walked to school in 1979 . Defense attorneys start evidence on Monday, trial expected to end in April .
