An investigation has revealed how factory workers in China risk contracting a potentially fatal disease to produce jeans for fashion labels Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle Outfitters. Employees at a factory where the two companies source their products were filmed using a method known as sandblasting - which gives the material a fashionable faded look. The practice is known to be dangerous and has been banned in some countries after being linked to deaths from respiratory disease silicosis. Dangerous method: Secret footage taken during an undercover investigation shows workers in Chinese factory which supplies Abercrombie & Fitch and American Eagle Outfitters continue to use sandblasting . The short programme, titled 'Denim Blues' and due to be aired on Al Jazeera on March 19, also exposed poor working conditions and environmental damage resulting from the industry in the Chinese city of Xintang, known as the jeans capital of the world. The video, shot by an undercover researcher, captured employees working at a frantic pace in a factory known as Dongguan Tiangxiang. Chemicals lie haphazardly around the room and workers use a potent chemical called potassium permanganate without wearing proper protective masks. The secret footage also shows sandblasting going on in the factory and the labels of American Eagle Outfitters (AEO), Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister, owned by A&F, are clearly visible. Secret footage: In the short film, an undercover researcher discovers an Abercrombie & Fitch label at a factory where jeans are being sandblasted . Part of initiative: American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) jeans are also seen in the footage. The company joined an initiative in 2011 to help boycott the practice . In 2011, AEO joined an initiative spearheaded by Levi and H&M to boycott the controversial production method known as sandblasting. In a company statement, the popular brand said: 'Until we believe that proper controls can be put in place to ensure sandblasting is done safely, we are no longer developing new styles with sandblasting.' Jeans with a distressed, already-worn appearance have been popular since the 1990s and method to create the effect is by blasting them with sand. Manual sandblasting of jeans requires only a hose, an air compressor and sand - workers literally blast the material with sand to give them a faded look and to soften the denim. Constant exposure to minute particles used in the process can lead to accidental inhalation, and later respiratory disease silicosis. Silicosis is caused when small particles of silica dust from the sand embed themselves within the lungs. The incurable disease causes shortness of breath, coughing, weakness and weight loss and in its acute form is fatal. When asked by investigators about their supplier's continued use of the practice, they claimed the sandblasting facilities had been removed but did not say when. A spokesman said: 'AEO has thoroughly investigated the factory Dongguan Tim Cheung (here referred to as Dongguan Tianxiang) and has verified that all sandblasting equipment has been removed from the factory.' Abercrombie & Fitch also appeared to dispute the evidence, claiming: 'Yes Dongguan Tiangxiang produces goods for us. We don't

Summary: Sandblasting has long been used to give jeans the fashionable faded look . But practice was banned in some countries after being linked to silicosis . In 2011, American Eagle Outfitters joined initiative to boycott the technique . Abercrombie & Fitch boast of using 'best practices in workplace safety' Undercover investigation revealed both companies were still recently sourcing jeans from factory where sandblasting took place .


You might expect to find lamb on the menu in many a New York restaurant, but never 'a' lamb, sitting at the table, enjoying his day out in the city. Meet Smokey: the three-week-old orphan lamb who has been fostered by a Manhattan restaurant owner, and now spends his days enjoying the sights and sounds of the Big Apple, gaining fans wherever he goes. Sandy Dee Hall, 34, and his girlfriend Maxine Cher, 24, took Smokey into their care after they heard he been abandoned by his mother in the freezing fields of West Winfield's Violet Hill Farm, the same farm - ironically - which supplies Mr Hall's restaurant with pork. City lamb: Smokey (right) is a three-week-old orphaned lamb who is being fostered by New York City restaurant owner Sandy Dee Hall (right), and he's gaining fans everywhere he goes . According to The New York Post, Mr Hall had been inexplicably wanting to foster a baby sheep 'for a while', despite serving lamb shepherd's pie at his eatery, Black Tree. So when Mr Hall was contacted by his farmer about Smokey's plight, he jumped at the chance to bring the lamb home to his Manhattan apartment. 'That night I was supposed to go out, but I was like, "Nope, I’m staying here. Forever”', he says. Smokey requires bottle feeding three times a day, and sleeps for around 14 hours. Mr Hall and Ms Cher, who also works at Black Tree, have scheduled their shifts so that someone is always home to care for the little lamb.

A new fleece of life: Smokey, pictured with a passer-by, requires bottle feeding three times a day, and sleeps for around 14 hours . A wolf in lamb's clothing? Several New Yorkers 'unfamiliar' with farm animals in their space have apparently mistaken Smokey for creatures including a goat, a poodle, a kangaroo and a llama . Smokey is not potty-trained, so the couple have lined their apartment floors with puppy training pads, and when they bathe him, they use Woolite to keep his coat from shrinking. Unsurprisingly, Smokey has attracted a great deal of admiration everywhere he's been taken, which includes a number of trendy New York restaurants.

A real-life Paddington bear who suffered such brutal treatment in a circus that she lost her claws, teeth and most of her fur is looking for a new home – with the support of the creator of her marmalade-loving fictional relative. The bear, called Cholita, was in a ‘deplorable condition’ when she was rescued from a circus in Peru last week by London-based Animal Defenders International (ADI). The group is now appealing for funds to fly her to a sanctuary in the United States. Scroll down for video . Real-life Paddington: Cholita suffered such brutal treatment in a circus that she lost her claws, teeth and most of her fur . A heart-breaking video released by ADI shows the bear in a government zoo with barely any of her thick black body hair left, the result of stress she suffered at the circus . Horrific neglect: Animal Defenders International's raid near Piura in northern Peru last week was one of a number across South America . Like Paddington from ‘deepest, darkest Peru’, Cholita is a spectacled or Andean bear, an endangered species native to the region. Last night Michael Bond, the author of the bestselling children’s books, gave his endorsement to the campaign to transport her to the US. He said: ‘Bears, especially from Peru, obviously have a special place in my life. ‘It is such a horrendous story. I very much hope that, with the charity’s help, Cholita will get the care she needs to recover.’ Last night Michael Bond, the author of the bestselling children’s books, gave his endorsement to the campaign to transport her to the US . A heart-breaking video released by ADI shows the bear in a government zoo with barely any of her thick black body hair left, the result of stress she suffered at the circus. The group said that she had been crammed in a box just 5ft by 5ft in the circus, while her fingers were cut down to stumps and her teeth deliberately shattered so she could not defend herself. The organisation's president Jan Creamer said: ‘Her butchered paws, broken teeth and hairless body illustrate more than any words possibly can the terrible suffering poor Cholita endured in the circus. ‘She would have spent years there confined, likely chained, and forced to perform tricks for the audience.’ The group's raid near Piura in northern Peru last week was one of a number across South America. It is now planning to get Cholita on to a flight taking 33 rescued circus lions from Peru to a new life in Colorado next month, the biggest airlift of its kind ever undertaken. But it urgently needs hundreds of thousands of pounds to pay for the flight and provide Cholita with medical care. To donate, call 020 7630 3340 or visitwww.ad-international.org/CholitaAppealUK.

Great Britain may be perennial underachievers in world tennis but when it comes to the sport's premier team competition Wimbledon's host nation continues to punch over its weight. In the city of his birth an emotional Andy Murray carried his side into the last eight of the World Group knockout by fending off a ferocious challenge from American giant John Isner to secure a 3-2 victory. To the deafening acclaim of Glasgow's Emirates Arena the former SW19 champion survived a tough opening set to win 7-6 6-3 7-6 against the world number 20 to wrap up the tie with his second point. Andy Murray celebrates extravagantly after winning the first set on a tie break to leave Great Britain just two sets from the quarter-finals . The British No 1 was spurred on by the Glasgow crowd to secure a 3-1 win over the USA and book a quarter-final against France . Murray is forced to stretch to reach a backhand as John Isner put in a much better performance on Sunday in the Davis Cup . Against one of the best servers ever seen in tennis Murray's coolness in the tiebreaks was the key, as was his ability to save seven break points in the opening set. 'It was a great win for the team, everyone played their part,' said Murray. 'Togetherness was a key, everyone was pulling in the same direction. 'I managed to find a way through the first set. I was over complicating my service games at first and he was going for broke on the first point of every rally. The huge American showed aggression in a first set where he forced seven break points on the Murray serve, but couldn't take any of them . Murray was well supported by a partisan Glasgow crowd as he sought to book Great Britain's place in the Davis Cup quarter finals . Isner plays a forehand on the run as the USA's top player started fast in a game his country needed to win to stay alive in the match . Murray was not at his best early on, but rallied to take the first set on a tie break after saving three set points . GB are through to the elite World Group quarter finals for the second year in succession and now face a home tie against France – 3-0 winners over Germany - immediately after Wimbledon in July. If on grass it is likely to be held somewhere like Eastbourne or Nottingham, but if they opted for an indoor court it would likely come back to Scotland, as the fans here have been outstanding in this match. 'If everyone plays to their abilities we have the chance to win more matches. We don't have huge margin for error but if Wardy (James Ward) plays like this we have a chance, although France have huge strength in depth.' This match turned out to be remarkably similar to last year's World Group first round against the same opponents: Ward upset the American number one on the first day,

Summary: Andy Murray takes first set on a tie-break after saving seven break points . British No 1 breaks John Isner's serve for the first time in sixth game of second set, takes set 6-3 . Murray wins third set tie break to seal 3-2 victory in the tie . Great Britain will face France at home in July in quarter-finals .

A Chinese traveller has been thrown in a police detention centre for 10 days after he opened an emergency exit moments before a plane was due to take off. Dong She insists he opened the door by mistake, telling Chinese media he thought the handle was a handrail that he could grab onto for support. The 42-year-old told Chinese news website iyaxin.com: ‘I thought it was like the handrail on a bus.’ The passenger said he had never been seated next to an emergency exit and opened the door by mistake . He told the website that he has flown on a plane before but he had never been seated next to an emergency exit until Saturday’s incident. He said he felt nervous and as a result had stood up and moved to the door to grab hold of what he thought was a handrail. The man, who was travelling with his wife on a domestic flight with Urumqi Airlines in north-east China, said he became scared when the door opened. He told police that escorted him from the plane: 'I didn't see any difference between that and what you see on the underground trains, where you can stand up and hold onto the side if you don't want to be seated. 'I usually find when I'm feeling nervous that it's best to stand up and walk around, and I didn't realise I was doing anything wrong.' In January, angry passengers opened emergency exit doors on a China Eastern flight in Chengdu . The plane returned to its gate and flight attendants reported the incident to local police, who removed the man from the flight and took him to a police station. He has been detained for 10 days for causing a 30-minute delay for other passengers, who were flying from Urumqi to Zhengzhou. Officials told iyaxin.com that the inflatable slide did not deploy when the emergency door was opened on flight UQ2505. An airline official pointed out that signs are posted on the door to warn passengers not to open it or tinker with its handle. Saturday’s incident was at least the fifth time since December a passenger has opened an emergency exit on a plane in China. Last month, an unidentified man was detained for 10 days after opening a plane emergency exit as passengers were boarding at Nanjing airport, the South China Morning Post reported. He told airline staff ‘The door is not important’ when they asked him why he opened the door, the newspaper reported. In December, a first-time passenger yanked open an emergency door, activating the emergency slide . In January, angry passengers opened emergency exit doors in protest of a weather-related delay as their China Eastern flight taxied to a runway in Chengdu. It led to a longer delay for everyone on board. A month earlier, a man was arrested after he opened the emergency exit ‘to get off quicker’ after a China Eastern flight landed in Hainan. By unlocking an opening the emergency exit, he deployed the emergency slide. Also in December, a rookie traveller

As Gareth Bale guided a shot past Israel goalkeeper Ofir Marciano in the 77th minute on Saturday evening, Wales fans could be forgiven for getting a little carried away. Not only with their side's impressive victory - a 3-0 win over the Group B leaders away from home - but with the continuing brilliance of their two-goal talisman.

But as well as strengthening Wales' chances of a trip to France next summer, Bale's performance served to further enhance his reputation as a Dragons legend in the making. After months of criticism in Spain, the Real Madrid forward reminded everyone of his ability with a clever header to set up Ramsey, stunning free-kick to make it 2-0 and powerful finish to kill Israel off. Still only 25, Bale already has more goals (16) than Wales greats John Charles (15) and Ryan Giggs (12).

Defending champions India sealed their place in the World Cup knockout stages with a nervy run chase against West Indies in Perth. Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni helped to steer his team to a four-wicket victory in a low-scoring Pool B match. India, who bowled the Windies out for 182, therefore remain one of two unbeaten teams in the tournament - co-hosts New Zealand are the other - after scrambling the verdict with 10.5 overs to spare on a typically bouncy pitch at the WACA. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is congratulated by West Indies captain Chris Gayle after India's four-wicket win . The India captain hit an unbeaten knock of 45 as India chased down the target of 183 in the World Cup game . West Indies were hapless in the first 10 overs, after winning the toss on a glorious afternoon, and might have been bowled out even more cheaply but for four dropped catches by India and captain Jason Holder's second successive half-century from number nine. Dwayne Smith struggled badly against India's new-ball pair, eventually edging behind off Mohammad Shami (three for 35). Chris Gayle was out of sorts too, dropped twice and then holing out to a mis-pull off Shami - but not before a mix-up with Marlon Samuels saw the Windies number three run out for just two. Captain Denesh Ramdin could not halt the slide, aiming an expansive cover-drive to a swinging low full-toss first ball and instead edging on to Umesh Yadav. Lendl Simmons and Jonathan Carter almost doubled the score until the former fell pulling Mohit Sharma to deep backward-square. Darren Sammy was dropped by Ravindra Jadeja on five, when he mistimed a skier into the off-side ring off Mohit. India players celebrate after Mohamed Shami dismisses Darren Sammy of West Indies . Chris Gayle wasn't able to get into his stride on Friday, despite this unsuccessful appear from Shami . Andre Russell was soon gone instead, hitting Jadeja's first ball straight to long-off. But Sammy stayed long enough to help Holder (57) shepherd the Windies into powerplay, before he was caught-behind off the returning Shami. The captain struck four fours and three sixes from 64 balls but was last out, another hitting Jadeja to long-off, with almost six overs unused. Two wickets in an impressive new-ball spell from Jerome Taylor gave the Windies renewed hope, both openers going as Shikhar Dhawan was caught at second slip and Rohit Sharma edged an attempted drive behind. Virat Kohli threatened to shorten the chase until he hooked Russell into the hands of Samuels - and when Ajinkya Rahane went to a marginal DRS verdict, caught-behind off Kemar Roach, India had lost four wickets with more than 100 runs still needed. Suresh Raina struggled against the short ball before edging a cut behind off Smith's medium-pace, and the same tactic from Russell saw Jadeja pull Russell to a juggling Samuels. But Dhoni engineered an unbroken match-winning half-century stand with Ravi Ashwin and finished top-scorer with 45 not out in a curious contest which contained 47 extras. Virat Kohli drives the

If you think your family is a handful, spare a thought for Sarah Ward. Every day, the busy mum from Crayford, Kent, changes up to 30 nappies, eight sets of clothes, makes 12 bottles of milk and washes and irons four loads of washing. The 29 year old is looking forward to a well earned rest as she prepares to celebrate Mother's Day for the first time at home with her young brood of four. Sarah Ward celebrates her first Mother's Day at home with her young brood (from front left) Freddie and triplets Stanley, Daisy and Reggie . The day is especially significant for Sarah as she feared she might never conceive. She said: 'The last year has been hard work and being a mum to four one year olds is crazy and yes it is like running a nursery at times but I would not change it for the world. ‘I used to dread Mother’s Day when I was struggling to fall pregnant, now I cannot wait - they are my little miracles.’ Sarah's son Freddie was just eight weeks old when she discovered she was pregnant again. Every day busy mum Sarah Wards changes up to 30 nappies, eight sets of clothes, makes 12 bottles of milk and washes and irons four loads of washing . When the doctors discovered that she was expecting triplets, they advised her to abort one of hte babies to give the other two a better chance of survival. But Sarah and her partner Benn Smith, 31,decided to keep all three. She said: ‘I just couldn’t do it. How could I pick one? 'Thank God I didn’t because look at them now. They are perfect.' Sarah said that looking after four children under the age of one makes her the 'luckiest mum in the world and possibly the most tired too' Against the odds, the triplets were born seven weeks prematurely on March 10 last year when big brother Freddie was still only nine months old. Stanley arrived first weighing 3lb 12oz, followed by Reggie, 4lb 7oz and sister Daisy 3lb 14oz. The babies were rushed straight to special baby care where the family spent their first Mother’s Day fraught with worry. They were finally discharged a few weeks later, so this will be their first ever Mother’s Day at home as a family. Sarah (pictured with triplet Reggie and eldest son Freddie) and her postal worker partner Benn Smith (pictured with triplets Daisy and Stanley) defied doctors' advice to terminate one of the triplets due to health concerns . Proud Sarah says she still feels like the luckiest mother alive after once fearing she would never be a mother at all. She had been booked in to see her GP over suspected fertility problems when she conceived Freddie, who was born 1st June 2013. She added: ‘Mother’s Day feels so exciting this year because we finally have them all at home. 'Now I have the family I always dreamed of and more. ‘I am the luckiest mum in the world and possibly the

An exodus of GPs leaving to work abroad or take early retirement means surgeries across England are in crisis, experts warned last night. The number of family doctors applying to work in Australia, Canada and other countries where they can earn more for fewer hours has jumped by 40 per cent in just five years. And around 22,400 GPs – more than half of England’s 40,200 family doctors – want to retire before the usual age of 60, separate figures show. Lured away: Online ads promises British doctors ‘more money’ and ‘great earning potential’ if they leave Britain for Australia (file image) Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt described the situation as worrying and promised to make ‘important changes’ to the NHS to ease the pressure on GPs. Some surgeries in Cumbria are so desperate for staff they are paying locum GPs £850 a day to stand in, a new BBC Inside Out documentary has discovered. It follows the Mail’s revelation last week how one practice, in Swinton, South Yorkshire, was making patients wait four weeks for an appointment. Krishna Kasaraneni, a GP at the Crown Street Surgery, told Inside Out that three of its doctors had moved to Australia and Canada since last summer due to ‘unsustainable daily pressure’. The programme, being broadcast tonight, also obtained figures from the General Medical Council that revealed 792 GPs were given ‘Certificates of Good Standing’ last year to allow them to practise abroad. This compares to 576 in 2008 and 562 in 2009. Crisis: Some surgeries in Cumbria are so desperate for staff they are paying locum GPs £850 a day to stand in, a new BBC Inside Out documentary has discovered (file photo) The NHS is currently advertising in medical magazines in Australia to try to lure back British doctors, promising a ‘fully funded induction and returner scheme’. On top of the exodus to foreign climes, 56 per cent of GPs ‘definitely’ or ‘probably’ expect to leave the profession before their 60th birthday, according to a survey of 1,004 family doctors carried out by Inside Out. Dr David Jones, 46, who formerly practised in Manchester, moved to Perth, Western Australia, over a year ago. He said: ‘We arrived in November 2013. It’s wonderful here. We do 45 hours a week and weekends are off to enjoy the sunshine. I’m very, very proud of what my colleagues at home do. They do an incredibly difficult job. They get assaulted from all sides. ‘I do feel guilty to some extent. When a government invests so much money in a profession you are a national asset to that country. But the way that asset is being treated in that country, it’s just pushing people away. It’s reached a point where people are just saying no, I’m not doing this any more. ‘We shouldn’t be here. Had our profession been looked after as it should have been we wouldn’t think about leaving.’ The website GP Jobs in Australia promises British doctors ‘more money’ and ‘great earning potential’. It adds: ‘Typical earnings start from £145,000 and rise to £195,000 per

A Scout leader who was found with boys' underwear under his bed and a cache of child pornography has walked free from court with just a community order after a judge said it was the best way to protect him from the public. Eliot Easterby, a former parish councillor and the author of 'teenage' books, had hundreds of indecent images of underage boys stored in a hard drive and three memory sticks at his house. The 44-year-old from Hamble, Hampshire, also had a collection of child pornography DVDs showing young boys in paddling pools and a hidden stash of underwear left behind when he took young boys in Scouts trips. Eliot Easterby, 44, was convicted of a string of child pornography offences after police discovered more than 600 indecent images and a haul of boys' underwear at his home in Hamble, Hampshire . Following a major international operation which involved Canadian police Easterby was charged with a number of offences including the making of and possession of child pornography. Despite being convicted of 13 charges relating to boys aged eight to 15 he walked free from court with a community order. Sentencing at Southampton Crown Court, where jurors took less than an hour to convict Easterby of the charges brought against him, Judge Peter Henry said he felt it was the best way to both punish the man and protect the public from him. The former teacher and author walked free from court (above) with a community order . During an investigation which began with a tip off from Canadian police, officers discovered more than 600 indecent images at Easterby's home. Around 300 had been viewed and deleted with another 374 downloaded and stored on memory sticks and a hard drive. A stash of child pornography was also found. Easterby, who denied all the charges, claimed the images were not of an indecent nature, a claim Judge Henry later rejected. 'You say you have no sexual attraction to boys. That is a matter of some concern because all the images of the boys linger on the area of genitalia,' he said. 'These boys are victims, filmed for the sexual gratification of you and others. 'It is not a victimless crime.' But with no evidence Easterby had had any sexual contact with the children he was spared jail. Instead he was sentenced to a community order, the 'best way' of punishing him and protecting the public, the judge added. He was given a ten year prevention order restricting his use of the internet and was banned from having contact with boys aged under 16 without their parents or guardians' permission. He was also placed on the sex offenders register for seven years and ordered to attend a sex offender treatment course. Easterby has written several books aimed at teenagers based on the ghosthunting adventures of two adolescent boys. He also taught at Sholing Technology College in Southampton. Another teacher from the college last month admitted owning child and animal porn. Jurors took just one hour to convict Easterby of 13 charges relating to

Carol Kirkwood, pictured at the Television and Radio Industries Club awards where she was crowned Best Weather Reporter for the seventh time, has been getting explicit pictures in the post . She has just been crowned Best Weather Reporter for the seventh time – so there is no doubt Carol Kirkwood is a hit with viewers. But the 52-year-old BBC Breakfast presenter has revealed some male fans are more than a little enthusiastic and send her explicit pictures in the post. ‘I do get letters from older men, fan mail,’ she said, gesturing to her nether regions. ‘It is terrible. I have had so many over the years. I am almost immune to it. You can tell by the hand writing. ‘I don’t have anyone who checks our mail as it all comes into the office. I don’t count them.’ Her smiley demeanour and shapely figure, which she often dresses in figure-hugging outfits, have attracted an army of admirers. On Tuesday she was given the Weather Reporter gong at the Television and Radio Industries Club (TRIC) Awards for the seventh time, beating off ITV rival Laura Tobin and the BBC’s Tomasz Schafernaker. Speaking at the awards ceremony, the presenter – who also does weather reports for The One Show – said she also receives sordid messages online. ‘You get a lot on social media. If they are on Twitter you block them,’ she said. She explained any explicit pictures sent to the office are quickly ‘binned’. The weather presenter is divorced from Jimmy Kirkwood, her husband of 25 years. But her new partner, whose identity is unknown, takes her legions of male admirers in his stride. She said: ‘My boyfriend is used to it. He just thinks it is funny. He does not take it seriously which is probably just as well.’ The broadcaster herself has taken a light-hearted approach to live TV slip-ups. Last year she battled on despite accidently ‘clicking her clicker’ twice, revealing scorching temperatures of 99 degrees in a place identified as ‘Town name’. Speaking about her live gaffes, Mrs Kirkwood explained: ‘We can’t see the weather map behind us. Sometimes the map and town doesn’t pop up behind me and that has happened numerous times. You just have to get on with it.’ The glamorous weather presenter said she receives fan mail from enthusiastic older men who would send the explicit pictures in the post . And is seems some viewers have very high expectations of her capabilities. ‘People do blame me for bad weather, definitely,’ she revealed. ‘And also people’s expectations are high. People wanted to see snow this year. Some parts saw snow but by no means everywhere.’ She believes women of her age have a lot to bring to the profession. ‘More and more we are seeing women my kind of age and possibly older coming through the ranks to present the weather. It is good as we offer a load of experience,’ she said. Speaking at the awards ceremony, the presenter – who also does weather reports for The One Show – said

Distractions - especially talking with passengers and using cellphones - play a far greater role in car crashes involving teen drivers than has been previously understood, according to compelling new evidence cited by safety researchers. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety analyzed nearly 1,700 videos that capture the actions of teen drivers in the moments before a crash. It found that distractions were a factor in nearly 60per cent of moderate to severe crashes. That's four times the rate in many previous official estimates that were based on police reports. The study is unusual because researchers rarely have access to crash videos that clearly show what drivers were doing in the seconds before impact as well as what was happening on the road. AAA was able to examine more than 6,842 videos from cameras mounted in vehicles, showing both the driver and the simultaneous view out the windshield. The foundation got the videos from Lytx Inc., which offers programs that use video to coach drivers in improving their behavior and reducing collisions. Crashes or hard-braking events were captured in 1,691 of the videos. They show driver distraction was a factor in 58per cent of crashes, especially accidents in which vehicles ran off the road or had rear-end collisions. The most common forms of distraction were talking or otherwise engaging with passengers and using a cellphone, including talking, texting and reviewing messages. Caught on camera: A teen driver loses control of her vehicle after she was driving distracted . Finding the source of the problem: The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety analyzed nearly 1,700 videos that capture the actions of teen drivers in the moments before a crash . Other forms of distraction observed in the videos included drivers looking away from the road at something inside the vehicle, ten per cent; looking at something outside the vehicle other than the road ahead, nine per cent; singing or moving to music, eight percent; grooming, six percent; and reaching for an object, six per cent. In one video released by AAA, a teenage boy is seen trying to navigate a turn on a rain-slicked road with one hand on the wheel and a cellphone held to his ear in the other hand. The most common forms of distraction leading up to a crash by a teen driver included: . Interacting with other passengers: 15 percent of crashes . Cell phone use: 12 percent of crashes . Looking at something in the vehicle: 10 percent of crashes . Looking at something outside the vehicle: 9 percent of crashes . Singing/moving to music: 8 percent of crashes . Grooming: 6 percent of crashes . Reaching for an object: 6 percent of crashes . The car crosses a lane of traffic and runs off the road, stopping just short of railroad tracks that run parallel to the road. In another video, a driver on a lonely two-lane road at night is shown looking down at an electronic device, apparently texting. While his eyes are off the road, the car crosses the opposite lane, leaves the road and

Health officials say people should eat less sugar. But that's easier said than done. Anyone who has tried cutting down on sugar knows to avoid cookies, sodas and candy. But sugar can be hidden in lots of other common packaged foods. The World Health Organization finalized guidelines Wednesday saying people should keep intake of added sugars to just five to ten per cent of overall calories, which translates to about 25 to 50 grams of sugar a day for most people. Scroll down for video . Be warned: According to experts, many supermarket soup varieties can contain up to two teaspoons of sugar in just one can . The guidelines don't apply to naturally occurring sugars in fruits, vegetables and milk, since they come with essential nutrients. In the U.S., adults get about 11 to 15 per cent of their calories from sugar; the figure for children tops that at about 16 per cent. By comparison, sugar intakes ranges in Europe from about seven per cent in Hungary to nearly 25 percent in Portugal. But research indicates that many people aren't aware of how much sugar they're eating every day. In fact, that's one reason the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is proposing the first overhaul of nutrition labels in two decades. In addition to highlighting the number of calories per serving in a bigger, bolder font, the new proposed labels would also for the first time list sugars that are added by manufacturers. Healthy? While salad might seem like the healthy option, the dressings used to add flavor to them are often loaded with sugars . In the meantime, though, companies don't currently disclose how much of the sugar listed in the nutrition panels of their products are from added sugars rather than naturally occurring ones. According to health experts, many everyday food products, which some might perceive to be completely healthy, are actually loaded with hidden sugars. Salad dressings, soups, yogurts and cereals have all been named as some of the worst offenders when it comes to sugar content; the popular Deluxe French salad dressing from Wish-Bone, for example, has four grams of sugar per serving - meaning it has around one teaspoon of sugar for every two tablespoons of dressing. Similarly, Progresso's Rich and Hearty Beef Pot Roast contains four grams of sugar per serving which means there are approximately two teaspoons of sugar in every can. 'In reality, we find (these sugars) in the majority of products,' Francesco Branca, who heads the World Health Oganization's Department of Nutrition for Health and Development, said. SALAD DRESSING: Picking a salad over a ham sandwich seems like a virtuous choice. But the amount of sugar it comes with can vary depending on the dressing you put on top of it. Wish-Bone's Deluxe French salad dressing, for instance, lists four grams (about one teaspoon) of sugar per serving (two tablespoons). SOUP: A cup of soup of soup is comforting thought, but even savory varieties can have sugar. A can of Progresso's Rich and Hearty Beef Pot Roast has four grams (about one

Summary: The World Health Organization is urging people to cut down on the amount of sugar they consume each day to between 25 and 50 grams . One can of soup can contain as much as two teaspoons of sugar, while some salad dressing has one teaspoon of sugar in every two tablespoons .


Obesity rates in South Los Angeles grew by 12 per cent over three years despite a much-hailed ban on new fast food restaurants, research had found. Before the dietary ordinance went into effect in 2008, 63 per cent of residents in the area reported being overweight or obese compared to 57 per cent in other parts of the county. But three years on, instead of the law curbing weight gain, the opposite trend took force. In 2011 75 percent of South Los Angeles residents reported being overweight or obese, while rates elsewhere only increased by one per cent. Obesity rates in South Los Angeles grew by 12per cent despite a much-hailed three-year ban on stand-alone fast-food restaurants, a new study has found . The failed fast food ruling targeted a 32-square-mile area south of Interstate 10 that struggles with high obesity rates and other health problems. The law, believed to be the first effort of its kind by a major city to improve public health, did not ban new eateries in strip malls. The research by the Rand Corp. think tank found that obesity rates in South Los Angeles continued to rise after passage of the law. 'It had no meaningful effect,' Rand senior economist Roland Sturm said. 'There's no evidence that diets have improved more in South Los Angeles. Obesity and overweight rates have not fallen.' Health experts said a single intervention would not reverse the obesity problem. People also have to exercise and make lifestyle changes, they said. Local problem: Before the dietary ordinance went into effect in 2008, 63per cent of residents in the area reported being overweight or obese compared to 57per cent in other parts of the county . 'It's not just about limiting unhealthy food, but increasing access to healthy food,' said Alex Ortega, a professor of public health at the University of California, Los Angeles, who had no role in the study. Rand researchers reviewed permits issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, which inspects food outlets. There were no licenses for stand-alone fast-food restaurants, but chains opened 17 new outlets in strip shopping centers and food courts in South Los Angeles from 2008 to 2012. Almost half of the new food permits were for convenience stores that sell soda and junk food, the study found. Researchers also compared obesity rates in South Los Angeles and other parts of the county using surveys that asked residents to report their weight and eating habits. Supporters said the ordinance worked because it prevented chains from opening new restaurants at major intersections with their own drive-thru windows and parking lots. They acknowledged it will take some time to see health gains but noted that the area has seen farmers markets and community gardens in recent years. 'We never said this ordinance was the silver bullet' to solving the obesity problem, said Gwen Flynn of the Community Health Councils. Unhappy: Standing outside a McDonald's in the Leimert Park neighborhood on Wednesday, Edward Cox lamented the lack of sidewalk cafes - he wasn't a fan of the

Summary: Before the dietary ordinance went into effect in 2008, 63per cent of South Los Angeles reported being overweight or obese . Three years on, the number rose to 75per cent . In other parts of the country obesity rates only increased by one per cent . Health experts say a single intervention will not reverse obesity issues .


Detectives have charged a man with murdering a student who was found dead in the boot of a burned out car a day after going missing from hospital. Christopher Jeffrey-Shaw, 26, is accused of killing Janet Muller, 21, a University of Brighton student who was studying at its Eastbourne campus in East Sussex.

A day earlier, on March 12, she had been reported missing from Mill View Hospital in Nevill Avenue, Hove, a Sussex Police spokesman said. Police were initially unable to determine the gender of her body but a post-mortem examination later found it was a woman who had died from smoke inhalation. Detective Chief Inspector Karen Mizzi, of the Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, said: 'Specially trained officers are supporting Janet's family at this extremely difficult time. 'Although we have charged a man with murder, I am appealing for information from anyone who may have seen Janet on Thursday night 12th of March. Police and forensics descended on the scene on March 13 after Miss Muller's body was discovered . 'She was last seen at Mill View at 10.15pm. 'If anyone saw her leaving the hospital or walking in the area, we need to hear from you.' The lane where the car was found was taped off as forensic experts combed the site for clues while wearing white boiler suits. The burned out car was examined at the scene before being removed from the field. Witnesses reported seeing a number of patrol cars at the scene, which was right next to a large Victorian house. Miss Muller was of mixed race, slim and 5ft 7in tall, with shoulder-length, dark brown, Afro hair and brown eyes. She was wearing dark clothing. Jeffrey-Shaw, of Lakeside, Beckenham, south-east London, has been remanded in custody to appear at Guildford Magistrates' Court tomorrow.

Former US child prodigy Freddy Adu has finally found a new club after signing for Finnish side Kuopion Palloseura (KuPS) - the 11th team of his short career. The 25-year-old was tipped to become one of the world's best players after breaking through as a teenager with DC United, but has struggled to live up to expectations at a succession of clubs ever decreasing in stature. The former USA international recently spent short-lived spells with Bahia in Brazil and Serbian side Jagodina (plus trials with Blackpool, AZ Alkmaar and Norwegian side Stabaek) and even turned to nightclub promoting before penning a one-year-deal with KuPS. Freddy Adu poses with the shirt after signing a one-year deal with Finnish club Kuopion Palloseura . Adu was last spotted hosting a nightclub event at the Shadow Rooms in his hometown of Washington DC . CLICK HERE to ready how Freddy Adu turned to nightclub promoting in his time off . Adu appears to be philosophical about the move after quoting former Prime Minister Winston Churchill on his Twitter account, saying: 'Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts!' KuPS finished seventh in the 2014 Veikkausliiga and will be hoping that the American can help them challenge the likes of HJK and SJK in the coming season. The modest club have pulled off a transfer coup by attracting Adu who will join compatriot Stephen McCarthy in the squad. Once labelled as 'the next Pele' during the early stages of his career, the Ghanian-born forward has played just 59 minutes of competitive football since the end of the 2012 MLS season.

A five-year-old managed to start an electric car then crashed into a baby in a buggy at a shopping centre in China. The mischievous boy got into the new white Model S Tesla on display and started the ignition at the mall in Beijing, The People's Daily reports.

Baby bump: A five-year-old started an electric car on display in a shopping mall in Beijing, crashing into a pushchair. The young child in the buggy (circled here) was not hurt in the incident . Eyewitness Lok Cheng, 36, told local TV: 'There were loads of kids messing around with the cars, even though it was in a roped off area. 'The car started up but only moved forward at a slow speed, and the woman didn't realise because she had her back to it and the engine made no sound. 'They moved the car back afterwards but you could still see kids playing with it, so I don't think they treated the problem that seriously. At least not until the police turned up.' Road rage: People stand to discuss how a five-year-old boy was able to start up the car on public display . Aftermath: The exact path of the car, which was driven by a five-year-old, can be seen as crowds gather to at the scene. The mother and baby, who were knocked over by the car, are circled next to the buggy . The car was in the middle of the shopping centre in the Chinese capital as part of an exhibition featuring two of the new cars which were on display to the public.

Crowds gather to look at the scene . Somehow he managed to start the car up and drove it forward, knocking down the woman and the child she had inside the buggy. It has earned him the nickname 'bear child' in China which is a local expression for children who are left to run amok. The mother and baby were left shaken but unharmed and the family have now filed a complaint with the police. The authorities are investigating why the cars were not locked, allowing the child to get in.

Ordinary people undergo road rage-like personality changes when using internet sites like Facebook and Twitter, a leading psychologist has warned . Ordinary people undergo road rage-like personality changes when using internet sites like Facebook and Twitter, a leading psychologist has warned. A dangerous combination of people feeling distanced from the person they are abusing and having a vast platform on which to vent anger instantly encourages users to become more aggressive. Just as normally calm drivers sometimes lash out when they get frustrated behind the wheel, so ordinary people can become uncharacteristically angry on social media, said Dr Richard Sherry. The clinical director of Psychological Systems in central London said people using social media were less likely to feel empathy or compassion towards others. He spoke as a new poll found almost nine in ten Britons now admit to having lost their temper more quickly online than in real life. Young people were the least tolerant. Likening the phenomenon to road rage, Dr Sherry said: 'This research shows that, if anything, the online space seems to be robbing us of some of the most fundamental aspects of our humanity. 'When using these sites, people are less likely to feel empathy, patience or compassion towards others; they are significantly quicker to judge and more dangerously reactive in their anger.' The survey questioned 1,000 users of sites including Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram and Pinterest about whether their personality changes while reading and posting messages. Some 84 per cent admitted they become more easily exasperated and enraged at others online than they ever would in person. Young people are particularly prone to internet road rage, with 26 per cent of the 18 to 24 year olds surveyed saying they are 'always' worked up when using social media, compared with 18 per cent of 35 to 44 year olds and just 11 per cent of those in the over-55 age group. The survey, carried out by OnePoll for 'anti-Facebook' social media site Pencourage, also revealed that many regret losing their temper online. Some 35 per cent said they had posted a reply or comment or Tweeted in anger, only to wish they hadn't later. A similar proportion admitted being tempted to vent their rage but said they manage to control themselves. Dr Sherry said that like motorists, users of social websites feel protected behind their screens. They are also emboldened by the relative anonymity and the distance between them and the person they are being rude to. The survey questioned 1,000 users of sites including Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram and Pinterest about whether their personality changes while reading and posting messages. Above, file image . Even the simple fact they aren't speaking out loud and so don't hear what they are saying can make them more reckless. The psychologist, who would like some social media websites to carry warnings that they can make people more impulsive, said: 'The psychological damage we can cause to ourselves and others must undoubtedly be taken into account when interacting via social media. 'Just as we try to be calm ahead

Summary: Social media users feel distanced from target of abuse, says psychologist . This is dangerous when combined with vast platform on which to vent rage . Dr Richard Sherry warns it encourages people to be more aggressive .


Rebel fighters in Syria are developing their own hand-made weapons as they battle the government regime. Fighters from the Suqour al-Sham Brigade are setting up weapons factories in caves to make shells and rockets as they take on the might of President Bashar Al-Assad's regime. These pictures show men developing mortar shells from gas canisters and making their own rockets using welding materials.

They are understood to have approximately 400 fighters in their ranks, and are aligned with the Free Syria Army. The brigade are based in the Idlib Province in north-west Syria, which has come under sustained attack from the government's forces during the long-running civil war. Last week, Syrian activists and the Western-backed opposition accused the government of carrying out a devastating chlorine gas attack against a rebel-held town in Idlib that killed at least six people and left dozens, including children, choking and gasping for breath. The reported use of poison gas on the town of Sarmin was the first alleged chemical attack since the U.N. Security Council approved a resolution that condemns the use of toxic chemicals such as chlorine in Syria. But a Syrian military official in Damascus denied any government role in the attack and blamed it on rebels, adding: 'The army did not and will never use any internationally-prohibited weapon.' Prepared: The rebels are seen here preparing a range of devices to fire at President Bashar Al-Assad's . Simple: Gas canisters are converted into basic shells and loaded to be fired by mortars . Fighters: The Suqour al-Sham Brigade are believed to be a mix of military defectors and civilian volunteers . Bombs: A man inspects gas canister devices that have been prepared to fired against government forces . Secure: The rebel fighters have built their weapons factories deep inside caves in the Idlib Province . Yesterday, two car bombs killed at least 25 people and wounded another 80 celebrating the new year festival of Nowruz in the mainly Kurdish city of Hassaka in northeastern Syria, according to state media. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights group, which tracks the four-year-old Syrian civil war, said 33 people, including children, were killed in the attack which it said was carried out by Islamic State.

But it's really all about what goes on under water and the remarkably easy access to it, once you get there via boat transfer – there used to be a helipad for helicopter access but that’s now been converted into a sundeck. A major feature of the rig is its elevator that takes divers directly into the reef underneath, which means no longer do divers have to lug their gear on and off a boat. The lift also serves as the main platform for the hotel's 'Rig Jump', which as the name suggests is a chance for guests to leap into the crystal clear Celebes Sea from a height. The resort is still, however, deciding whether or not to make it a permanent fixture. Being part of the Coral Triangle the area is teeming with sea life.

Bradford boss Phil Parkinson is relishing his side's return to the role of FA Cup outsiders after watching them keep their Wembley hopes alive with a gutsy goalless draw against Reading at Valley Parade. The Bantams' recent knockout heroics had made them narrow favourites to book their place in the semi-finals for the first time since 1911 despite the face they faced higher league opposition. But after watching Gary Liddle come closest in a clattering clash when he hit the woodwork late in the first half, Parkinson was keen to revive the siege mentality which helped them to wins over Chelsea and Sunderland. Phil Parkinson is congratulated by Jose Mourinho as Bradford shocked Chelsea at Stamford Bridge . Parkinson the manager collides with Garath McCleary of Reading during the FA Cup Quarter Final match . Parkinson said: 'We will go down there for the replay really as the underdogs and we will approach it in a positive fashion because we're at our best when we do that. 'We won at Stamford Bridge which was seen as a day out for us because no-one expected us to go and get a result. So we are still very much alive and kicking.' The draw will mean a rare return for Parkinson to the club for whom he made 361 appearances and as a player and was voted their best ever central midfielder in an online poll. Andrew Davies heads the ball wide of the Reading goal during the FA Cup Quarter Final match at Valley Parade . 'I'm looking forward to going back there because I haven't got down there many times since I left,' added Parkinson. 'Obviously I would have preferred to have gone through but the next best scenario is the replay.' Pavel Pogrebnyak and Oliver Norwood also hit the post for Reading who were bidding to make their own bit of history by reaching the last four for the first time since 1927.

The bruising encounter continued in the same vein from the first whistle to the last with Reading captain Alex Pearce playing the last three minutes with a broken nose after an accidental clash with Bradford substitute Francois Zoko.
