As the jury in the Jodi Arias trial reached an impasse last week, prosecutors and fellow jurors attempted to remove a holdout on the panel who was the only obstacle in the way of securing a death sentence against the convicted murderer. A court document released Tuesday by the judge in the case reveals the behind-the-scenes wrangling in the jury room as Arias' fate hung in the balance. Jurors had questioned the holdout's objectivity because she had previously watched a Lifetime movie about the Arias case, and prosecutors were upset at the juror's social media activity as she went on Facebook and liked several local TV stations and Nancy Grace of the HLN network. The juror said her views were being ignored by the 11 jurors who wanted Arias to be executed for murdering boyfriend Travis Alexander nearly seven years ago. 'My opinion isn't being heard,' the judge quoted the holdout as saying. Scroll down for video . A court document released Tuesday by the Judge Sherry Stephens (above) reveals the behind-the-scenes wrangling in the jury room as Arias' fate hung in the balance . All but one juror voted to sentence convicted killer Arias (above) to death . A court on Tuesday also announced it was launching an internal investigation into how the identities of Arias jurors were revealed online just hours after the trial ended as Arizona law prohibits the public release of a juror's identity, though many of the Arias panel members agreed to speak with reporters after the trial ended. The holdout's identity was leaked through a Twitter account that also posted sympathetic comments about Alexander, while a pro-Arias website also published names of 11 people it said were the jurors who voted to sentence Arias to death for the 2008 killing. 'Juror safety and the protection of jurors' personal and confidential information are topics the Court takes very seriously,' the Maricopa County Superior Court said in a statement released Tuesday. Dwane Cates, a criminal defense attorney in Phoenix who isn't involved in the Arias case, said the leaks won't change the outcome of the case, noting that mistrial decisions can't be appealed. Arias was convicted of murder in Alexander's death at a 2013 trial that became a global sensation with its revelations about her sexual relationship with the victim and that she had slit his throat so deeply that he was nearly decapitated. A new jury was picked to decide her punishment after the first jury deadlocked on that question. Arias was charged with killing her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander . The one juror who voted against the death penalty admitted to seeing the Lifetime film about the case (above) A mistrial was declared Thursday after five days of deliberations, removing the death penalty as a possible punishment for Arias. The judge is scheduled to decide on April 13 whether Arias will spend the rest of her life in prison or she will be eligible for release after serving 25 years. Most of the jurors said last week that they believed the holdout was biased and opposed to

Summary: A court document released Tuesday reveals that jurors and the prosecution in the Jodi Arias case wanted one juror removed from the proceedings . That juror, the lone holdout in sentencing Arias to death, admitted to seeing the Lifetime movie about the case . Shortly after the jury reached an impasse, the names of all the jurors were somehow leaked and revealed online . An internal investigation has been launched to determine just how this might have happened . The holdout juror is now also being investigated for possibly reading information about the case online during the trial .


David Moyes has threatened to find the dressing room mole at Real Sociedad and remove him from the club. The former Manchester United and Everton manager is upset that his selected 11 appeared in the media last weekend before his team’s Sunday lunchtime game against Valenica. In a press conference on Friday he said: ‘For some reason our team is in the newspapers [on the day of the game]. I don’t get the opposition team. I didn’t get Valencia’s team but the opposition get my team. I don’t think that’s right. Real Sociedad's starting XI was leaked to local media ahead of their match against Valencia . David Moyes promised to find the person responsible for the leak and remove them from the club . ‘It doesn’t seem correct to me that our rivals find about our team selection because of leaks.’ When asked if a story circulating in San Sebastian that he has warned the players that if he finds one of his team has been leaking the team to the press he will make sure they leave the club, he replied: ‘Yes, correct!’ Moyes made several changes when he arrived at the Basque club last November, reducing the number of public training sessions in the lead up to match days and limiting daily injury updates because he believes it helps inform rivals. Real Sociedad midfielder Sergio Canales battles during the 2-0 defeat by Valencia last weekend . Valencia manager Nuno Espirito Santo had the advantage of knowing Sociedad's team in advance . He also prefers not to announce the squad for games on the Friday before a match – something that has not gone down well with some local reporters. Real Sociedad face Espanyol on Saturday. Moyes said: ‘They have been in good form recently. But I hope we can use our good recent form at home.'

Gone: Barway Edwin Collins, 10, went missing from his Crystal, Minneapolis, apartment building last Wednesday after school . Dozens of relatives, friends and supporters came together Monday in Crystal, Minnesota, to plead for the safe return of a 10-year-old who vanished without a trace five days earlier. Barway Edwin Collins was last seen walking away from his apartment building in the 5400 block of Douglas Drive in Crystal after school Wednesday. Over the past five days, local police, federal agents and Hennepin County's sheriff's deputies have been searching the area for Barway with K-9 dogs, reviewing footage from surveillance cameras and interviewing family members and witnesses. While police have not classified Barway's disappearance as an abduction at this point, on Monday they released a photo of two people who may be linked to the missing person case. According to the Crystal Police Department, the man and woman pictured in a screen shot from a CCTV camera installed at the front entrance of the Cedarwood apartment complex may have witnessed Barway being dropped off from school. So far, the mystery couple have not been named as suspects or even persons of interest in the case. Police Chief Stephanie Revering said during a press conference Monday that an Amber Alert has not been issued for Barway because investigators believe he may be with a relative. Witnesses: Police released Monday this screen shot from a CCTV video showing two people they believe may have witnessed Barway being dropped off from school . Emotional: Barway Collins' father, Pierre Collins, wipes away tears as he stands with his wife, Yamah, and supporters at vigil Monday for their missing son . United: Mamade Sesay, right, Executive Director of the Organization of Liberians in Minnesota, speaks at a vigil attended by more than 100 people . Outpouring of support: A young boy adds a donation for Barway Collins' family to the pile during the vigil Monday . While law enforcement officials continued searching for the missing fourth-grader, members of Crystal's Liberian community were busy handing out fliers featuring Barway’s picture to help bring him home. At around 5pm Monday, more than 100 people gathered outside Cedarwood apartments for an emotional prayer vigil. Inside job? Police have not issued an Amber Alert saying the 10-year-old (center) may be with someone he knows . ‘We miss Barway,’ his father, Pierre Collins, told the crowd. ‘Barway has been gone for a very long time now. We are begging and asking everyone to look out there.’ Chief Revering also attended the gathering, promising Barway's family to continue looking for him until he is found, according to Minneapolis Star Tribune. Barway was reported missing by his father at around 6.30pm after the child failed to come home from school. A call to the school bus company revealed that the 10-year-old was dropped off outside his building at around 4.15pm. Mr Collins and his wife, Yamah, said the entrance surveillance camera caught their son opening the front door to the building, looking inside and then closing it, as if someone called him outside. ‘Please just

The human eye is optimised to have good colour vision at day and high sensitivity at night. But until recently it seemed as if the cells in the retina were wired the wrong way round, with light travelling through a mass of neurons before it reaches the light-detecting rod and cone cells. New research presented at a meeting of the American Physical Society has uncovered a remarkable vision-enhancing function for this puzzling structure. Israel Institute of Technology researchers studied human retinas (image of an eye interior shown). They looked at why cells in our retinas are wired the wrong way round. Light travels through a mass of neurons before it reaches the 'back'. The research suggests the structure appears to enhance our vision . About a century ago, the fine structure of the retina was discovered. The retina is the light-sensitive part of the eye, lining the inside of the eyeball. The back of the retina contains cones to sense the colours red, green and blue. Spread among the cones are rods, which are much more light-sensitive than cones, but which are colour-blind. Before arriving at the cones and rods, light must traverse the full thickness of the retina, with its layers of neurons and cell nuclei. These neurons process the image information and transmit it to the brain, but until recently it has not been clear why these cells lie in front of the cones and rods, not behind them. The human eye can see more that we thought, researchers said in December. It had previously been believed the human eye cannot see infrared light, in the same way we can't see X-Rays and radio waves. However, researchers have revealed that under certain conditions, the retina can sense infrared light after all. An international team of researchers co-led by scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis used cells from the retinas of mice and people. By firing powerful lasers that emit pulses of infrared light, the researchers found that when laser light pulses rapidly, light-sensing cells in the retina sometimes get a double hit of infrared energy. When that happens, the eye is able to detect light that falls outside the visible spectrum. This is a long-standing puzzle, even more so since the same structure, of neurons before light detectors, exists in all vertebrates, showing evolutionary stability. Researchers in Leipzig found that glial cells, which also span the retinal depth and connect to the cones, have an interesting attribute. These cells are essential for metabolism, but they are also denser than other cells in the retina. In the transparent retina, this higher density (and corresponding refractive index) means that glial cells can guide light, just like fibre-optic cables. In view of this, my colleague Amichai Labin and I built a model of the retina, and showed that the directional of glial cells helps increase the clarity of human vision.But we also noticed something rather curious: the colours that best passed through the glial cells were green to red, which the eye needs most for daytime vision. The eye

A listed Victorian rectory is in danger of collapse after its millionaire cocaine addict owner allowed it to become overgrown and delapidated. The home in Columb Major, Cornwall is considered one of the most important buildings from the Gothic Revival movement, but it is now uninhabitated and has fallen into a state of extreme disrepair. Its owner, a property dealer who was jailed for drugs possession, has refused to renovate it - but the local council has not exercised its legal powers to force him to take action. Overgrown: The Old Rectory in Columb Major, Cornwall is almost inaccessible because it is so neglected . Rubbish: The house is full of old furniture and other debris despite its Grade II* listing from English Heritage . Damage: Holes in the roof and ceiling are causing water damage to the historic Victorian structure . The Old Rectory, which is Grade II*-listed, was built in 1851 by architect William White, who trained with the great Gothic Revival master George Gilbert Scott. It was originally designed to be a palace for a bishop, before being downgraded to a rector's home and later becoming a hotel in recent years. But despite the building's heritage, it is now derelict, filled with piles of rubbish and surrounded by overgrown plants, while major water damage has been caused by holes in the roof. Photographs taken a few years ago show broken furniture piled up inside, with peeling walls and exposed ceiling beams. Greenery has grown up all around the outside of the house, potentially threatening its structure. Cornwall Council has not taken legal action against the Old Rectory's owner, property tycoon James Brown, who was sent in prison in 2012 after police found a large haul of cocaine hidden in his Bentley convertible. Neglected: The home was built in 1851 by William White and is considered a Gothic Revival masterpiece . Warning: Campaigners are lobbying Cornwall Council to force the rectory's owner to make repairs . Debris: Photographs taken a few years ago show the shocking state of the listed building . The Victorian Society, which promotes the cause of 19th-century architecture, recently launched a campaign to save the building from its 'shocking state of disrepair'. Director Chris Costelloe said: 'Cornwall Council must take action now or this irreplaceable Grade II*-listed example of domestic Gothic Revival architecture will be lost. 'Further delay will result in much of the historic fabric being unsalvageable and the repairs will become enormously expensive.' The society claims that Cornwall Council has been aware of the threat to the building for at least four years, but has failed to act. Officials insisted that they could not take action while Brown was in prison, because it would breach his human rights. Peeling: Paint is coming off the walls in the 19th-century home, which was built as a bishop's palace . Abandoned: No one is living in the house and plants are climbing up around the walls . Heyday: This historic postcard shows how the Old Rectory looked in its prime . Owner: Property tycoon and cocaine addict

Summary: Old Rectory in Columb Major, Cornwall was built in 1851 by William White . It is considered one of the finest Gothic Revival masterpieces in Britain . But after being bought by property tycoon James Brown it is completely overgrown with holes in the roof and piles of old furniture . Council refused to take action against Brown while he was in jail for cocaine possession .


Chilling images have emerged showing terrorists loyal to the Islamic State on a hill-walking holiday in the Iraqi mountains as they take a break from the rape and massacre of the local population. The photographs, released by ISIS' official propaganda wing, show the militants reading the Koran, enjoying a picnic, and even riding ponies as they relax in northern Iraq's mountainous region. With total disregard for the atrocities carried out by ISIS in the country over the past year, including the kidnapping and forced sex slavery of thousands of young Yazidi girls, the heavily armed men are seen smiling as they happily pose with the terror group's sinister black and white banner. Taking it easy: The six holidaying jihadis are also seen sitting cross-legged in a semi-circle as they pose for photographs showing them reading the Koran while they relax in the Iraqi mountains . Highest: The assault rifle-wielding men are seen climbing a steep cliff, raising their index fingers in the air in a display of religious devotion once they reach the summit . Defenceless: This photograph shows one of the militants grinning as he struggles to climb on to the back of a white horse. The animal looks so ill-treated and malnourished that its ribs are clearly visible . Photographs of the militants relaxing in northern Iraq were widely shared on social media by thousands of sympathisers of the Islamic State terror group. Several images show the assault rifle-wielding men climbing a steep cliff and raising their index fingers in the air in a display of religious devotion once they reach the summit. Another photograph shows one of the militants grinning as he struggles to climb on to the back of a white horse. The animal looks so poorly-treated and malnourished that its ribs are clearly visible. The six holidaying jihadis are also seen sitting cross-legged in a semi-circle as they pose for photographs showing them either reading the Koran or holding state-of-the-art assault rifles as the chilling black and white flag of ISIS flutters in the wind behind them. While not out on the mountains, the men appear to spend their time preparing and consuming food. One photograph shows them frying what appear to be homemade chips, while a second captures them sitting inside a building eating and reading religious texts. Callous: With total disregard for the atrocities carried out by ISIS in the country over the past year, the heavily armed men are seen happily posing with the terror group's sinister black and white banner . Reaching the summit: Photographs of the militants relaxing in northern Iraq were widely shared on social media by thousands of sympathisers of the Islamic State terror group . While not out on the mountains, the men appear to spend their time reading the Koran and consuming food .

A Chinese father who became a national hero after claiming he lived in a cave to save money for his family has now admitted he never sent a penny home - after his wife caught him out. Shi Zhiyong, 35, hit the headlines after claiming that he was sleeping in a 10-metre long cave in order to keep all of his £300-a-month pay to help his wife and two sons. Shi, who had a job as a dockworker in China's coastal Shandong province, was reported to have been sleeping in the cave for the last six months. Scroll down for video . Caveman: Shi Zhiyong partially blocks the entrance to his cave with rocks - but it is far from secure . Home: Shi reveals the cramp conditions he had been sleeping in for the last six months . Rather than pay up to £20-a-month for rent, Shi said he had decided to save every penny he could from his £300-per-month salary to send back home to his family in Handan in Hebei province. He told People's Daily: 'I have two children, aged 11 and six. I have to save up money and support the family.' But he has now admitted that he had fabricated his past and said: ’Sorry I lied. I didn't go back home for the Chinese New Year. 'I bought all my food by myself. I didn’t save money all these years and have never sent money home.' Shi had said that he sacrificed his home comforts to ensure his beloved family had more money, and is believed to have slept on simple bedding spread on the floor of the cave while lighting fires from kindling to keep warm. He kept very few belongings with him, carrying just a quilt, a radio, a water bottle and a flashlight, along with some clothes. But after his bizarre living arrangements came to national attention in China, Shi's uncle tracked him down to the top of Yao Mountain where he had been sleeping. He said: 'It’s been six years, we need to have a good hug! ‘I saw his picture from my phone today, then I searched online and confirmed it was him. He left home six years ago without a trace since.’ Confession: But Shi has now admitted he made his story up and said: 'I bought all my food by myself. I didn’t save money all these years and have never sent money home' Attention: But Shi's story was exposed when media in China became interested in his bizarre living conditions and his family tracked him down . Shi's uncle could not explain why Shi’s wife and two sons had not come to find him, nor did they explain why Shi had left home six years ago, simply adding: ’There might be some small friction.’ Shi said he was forced to carrying his meagre belongings around with him after discovering villagers had been entering the cave and looking through his things whilst he was at work. 'When I come back from work at night, often the cave had been

A white supremacist who has been charged with three murders entered a plea of not guilty in court on Friday. Frazier Glenn Miller, 74, is charged with capital murder in the April 13, 2014, shootings at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City in Overland Park, Kansas, and at the nearby Village Shalom Retirement Center. Miller, also known as Frazier Glenn Cross, is a Vietnam War veteran from southwest Missouri who founded the Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in his native North Carolina and later the White Patriot Party. None of the victims of the 2014 shooting that took place on the eve of Passover, a week-long holiday in which the Jewish community celebrates their freedom from slavery in Egypt, were Jewish. Scroll down for video . Frazier Glenn Miller (above) entered a plea of not guilty for charges of capital murder in the killing of three individuals on April 13, 2014 . Miller, a supremacist, allegedly opened fire outside a Jewish community center in Overland Park, Kansas screaming 'Heil Hitler!' Miller (mugsghot above), who says he is ill and does not have much time to live, also asked for a speedy trial . On Friday, Frazier also asked for a speedy trial and to have Internet access while he is in prison. The judge granted him the right to a speedy trial, which will begin August 17, but denied him Internet access. Miller said he would go to trial in 30 days if he could represent himself. Overland Park police Sgt. Marty C. Ingram testified earlier this month at a preliminary hearing that he heard shots fired at the Jewish Community Center and saw the doors of the center's theater shatter. He said he took cover as more shots hit the building's facade back on April 13. 'Dust, smoke was flying everywhere at that point,' he said. The gunman then drove away. When he heard that fellow officers had arrested a suspect, Ingram accompanied some witnesses to the arrest scene to determine if they could identify him. As they approached the patrol car where Miller was detained, he shouted 'Heil Hitler!' and asked how many Jews he had killed. Miller is accused of killing Dr. William Lewis Corporon, 69, and his 14-year-old grandson, Reat Griffin Underwood, who were attending a singing contest audition at the community center. He also is accused of killing 53-year-old Terri LaManno, who was visiting her mother at the nearby Jewish retirement home. Miller (above in 80s) was also arrested in 1986 when he was caught with a male prostitute dressed as a woman in the back of his car . At a December hearing, Miller, who has emphysema, said he was afraid that he doesn't have much time left to live following a trip to the emergency room in March. Miller previously served three years in federal prison on weapons charges and for planning the killing of the Southern Poverty Law Center's founder. He was also arrested in 1986 when he was caught with a male prostitute dressed as a woman in the

The skull of missing Little Rock businessman John Glasgow was found on Wednesday in a rugged area of Petit Jean Mountain . Bone fragments and skeletal remains have been found in a rugged area of Petit Jean Mountain where the skull of missing Little Rock businessman John Glasgow was found earlier this week. The skull, found on Wednesday by hikers, was identified through dental records as being Glasgow, who was 45 when he disappeared in 2008. A search crew of 20, aided by dogs, had been dispatched on Thursday to the area where the remains were found, but the search was suspended due to poor weather on Sunday. The more remains that are found, the better the chance of determining the cause of death, state Crime Laboratory Director Kermit Channel told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. 'We will rely on law enforcement to continue their investigation and search. As they discover additional human remains, they will be submitted to us to examine,' Channel said. The remains were found within a mile of where Glasgow's vehicle was last seen parked at the time of his disappearance. That mile, however, is 'as the crow flies' and includes lengthy, boulder-laden, steep trails, Butts said. When the recovery efforts resume on Monday, officials will begin more intensive searching that will include cadaver dogs and metal detectors. 'We even have an archaeologist that will be coming with the Arkansas State Police,' Butts said. Melinda Glasgow, the wife of contracting executive John Glasgow, pictured in 2008 just after her husband went missing . 'They will work to determine how far the remains have been distributed and what to look for after so many years have passed.' Glasgow, the chief financial officer of CDI Contractors LLC, was last seen leaving his Little Rock home on the morning of January 28, 2008. The firm, owned by Dillard's and the estate of co-founder Bill Clark, built or remodeled many of Dillard's 300-plus department stores and put up some of Arkansas' signature projects, including former President Bill Clinton's library and the headquarters of Heifer International. A cellphone trace had led investigators to the Petit Jean State Park, a mountaintop resort an hour from his home, but weeks of searching revealed no clues. Glasgow was legally declared dead in 2011. Judge H. Vann Smith wrote at the time that 'The circumstantial evidence of John's death is substantial. John has been missing for three years without any credible information surfacing in that period that would suggest he might be alive somewhere.' In that same year, a twice-convicted felon named Jonathan Brawner told his lawyer and the Little Rock Police Department that he knew where Glasgow's body was buried. Brawner said that he had been recruited by 'thugs from Malvern' to whom he owed money to help bury Glasgow in a bean field near England in Lonoke County. The bean field was searched, but no remains were found.

It is something most of us prefer not to see when we open our fridge. But photographer Nick Lariontsev has captured mould in a way that may make you look at that out-of-date bread and cheese in a different way. Using macroscopic photography techniques, he has created a strangely beautiful timelapse video that shows mould fungi as they grow and spread. Using macroscopic photography, Russian photographer Nick Lariontsev has created a captivating yet stomach-churning timelapse video that shows mould fungi as it grows and spread (grab shown) The multicellular filaments slowly spread across the Petri dish before forming mounds and ridges that look more like the alien landscape of another planet. He has also managed to capture the tiny clusters of spores on the end of stalks that give many moulds their dusty appearance. Mr Lariontsev, a photographer based in Russia who posted the video on YouTube, said it took him between two and eight days to capture each of the individual sequences in the film. Among the moulds he filmed using a specially designed set-up was part of the Aspergillus genus, which commonly forms on starchy foods and are also used to help produce sake from rice. Among the moulds in the film are the Aspergillus genus, which commonly forms on starchy foods and are also used to help produce sake from rice. The fungi Cladosporium, which usually grows on dead plant material, are also shown growing their brown and black branches, and the soil-based fungi Trichoderma . Fungi from the group of Cladosporium, which usually grows on dead plant material, are also shown growing their brown and black branches, along with the soil-based fungi Trichoderma. The fungal genus Botrytis, some of which often infect soft fruit like strawberries and grapes, and the genus Mucor, which grow on rotting vegetation, were also captured. Mr Lariontsev set up the Petri dish where he grew his mould so that it would slowly rotate - making one turn every seven days. The result is a rather stomach-churning but strangely captivating four-minute long video showing the fungi as few people will have seen it before. Professor Lynne Boddy, a fungal ecologist at Cardiff University and a member of the British Mycological Society, said: 'Most people think yuk when they see fungi as they see it rot their food and kill their plants. 'But if it wasn't for fungi we would not be here today as it shapes the world around us. 'If fungi did not rot wood and leaves in the forest, then the nutrients locked up inside them would never be freed up in the soil. 'Many fungi also form mycorrhizal relationships with the roots of plants and if it was not for them then the plants could not grow. 'Fungi are actually hugely important yet largely overlooked.' The fungi Botrytis, which often infects on soft fruit like strawberries and grapes, and the fungi Mucor, which grows on rotting vegetation, were also captured. Mr Lariontsev set up the Petri dish where he grew his mould so that it would slowly rotate - making one

Summary: Russian photographer Nick Larionstev captured a video of mould growing . It shows five different species of fungi forming stomach-churning mounds . As the fungi filaments spread they form stalks with dust-like spores on top . Each sequence took between two and eight days to film using a special rig .


A NCAA basketball star held court on Wednesday - but not for his ball handling skills. Nigel Hayes, 20, a sophomore forward for the Wisconsin Badgers, confidentially sat down to attend a televised press conference at the Staples Center in Los Angeles with two fellow players. But failing to realize the microphone was still running, the 6ft 7in sportsman loudly whispered to his teammate 'God she's beautiful' after spotting 43-year-old Debra Bollman - a stenographer for ASAP Sports - in the crowd.

Our pillar-box red, open-top Chevrolet would fail its MoT abysmally. The suspension has gone; only the driver's door opens from the inside and there doesn't even seem to be a speedometer. But it's still going and it's a lot of fun. A bit like Cuba, in fact. Everyone says you have to go now before the chicken nugget invasion changes everything following President Obama's decision to lift sanctions after 55 years. A place with a past and a future: Havana is an evocative city, rich in Spanish colonial architecture . For sure, change is needed in a country where almost everyone is denied access to the internet, where most people take home around $20 a month, where there is still rationing and where not believing in the 'Triumph of the revolution' still makes you an enemy of the state. But turning round this old tanker is going to take decades, not years. The real reason to go now is because for all their travails, the Cuban people are remarkably kind, honest and polite - and Havana is like nowhere else on Earth. Everywhere we go, there is a healthy scepticism about the Castro years and what might happen if outsiders are ever allowed to buy land and property. We're in the open-top Chevy (not driving it) on the way to Ernest Hemingway's house, 20 minutes from Havana. We've already downed a daiquiri at Floridita, where a statue of the great man occupies the end of the bar, and we've chased that up with a mojito at La Bodeguita del Medio, another of his hang-outs near the sublime Cathedral Square. Before the day is done, we'll sink more at La Terraza in the fishing village of Cojimar, the inspiration for The Old Man And The Sea, which helped Hemingway win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. At the wheel: Despite various mechanical troubles, Mark managed to take to the road in Cuba . He bought Finca Vigia in 1940 and lived there off and on for 20 years. It's pretty much how he left it. Bullfighting scenes and stuffed animals hang from the walls, his typewriter sits on the desk and rum competes for space with his books. Ask to see Ada and take along a translator. She has looked after the house for more than 20 years. When I ask her what Hemingway would make of Cuba today, her eyes fill with tears. 'I don't know,' she says, 'but Hemingway loved Cuba.' Back in Havana, our guide takes us to the Museum Of The Revolution, where Fidel, naturally, is the star of the show - but George W. Bush has a walk-on part in the rogue's gallery with the caption: 'Thank you cretin for helping us make socialism irrevocable.' Full of character: Trinidad is a touristy - but charming - colonial town three hours south-east of Havana . What knocks us back is the beauty of the dilapidated grand houses, palaces and squares. It makes you wonder why on earth the British gave Cuba back to Spain in 1763 in return

Summary: Cuba is expecting an influx of US tourists following the lifting of sanctions . Writer Ernest Hemingway loved Cuba, and bought Finca Vigia in 1940 . Eat at Mama Ines, where Fidel Castro's ex-chef has opened a restaurant .


A Florida couple were allegedly caught having sex in a parked truck in clear view of children at playground in Florida.

Multiple children were reportedly less than 200 feet away while the duo engaged in intercourse. Couple: Shane Johnson, left, and Danielle Stager, right, were allegedly having sex in a parked truck on Friday - with children at a playground able to see what was going on . Citing the arrest report, the Sun-Sentinel said a police officer discovered 26-year-old Danielle Stager and 38-year-old Shane Johnson as they had sex in a parked truck. Per the newspaper, Stager allegedly told Johnson 'Shane, we are going to jail' after she noticed the officer's presence. Police told WPTV that Stager and Johnson were 180 feet away from a daycare group. Children could clearly see the couple, authorities told the television station. The Sun-Sentinel reported that four children told cops the couple had been beside a tree and had their pants lowered. The newspaper reported that though the pair were outside near the tree when they began, they could still be seen after relocating. Stager and Johnson are facing lewd or lascivious behavior charges and were released from jail over the weekend, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

A fifth of patients turning up in A&E have minor ailments including sore throats, athlete's foot and headlice, according to an analysis. It calculates that more than four million visits a year are unnecessary and cost the NHS £290million annually. In the worst cases, doctors have reported patients showing up because they were hungover, their false nails were hurting or they had paint in their hair. The problem is largely caused by the fact that patients are finding it increasingly difficult to see their GP, particularly out of hours. A fifth of patients turning up in A&E have minor ailments including sore throats, athlete's foot and headlice, a study has found (file picture) Many go to A&E in the knowledge that they will at least be seen by a doctor that day, even if they have to wait four hours. Even Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has admitted taking his children to casualty at the weekend rather than making an appointment with a GP. But the unnecessary visits are adding to the pressures of busy departments and diverting staff from treating patients who are very seriously ill. It all came to a head in January when 13 hospitals declared major internal incidents in a two-day period as they were unable to cope with the numbers coming through the door. An analysis of data from 15 A&E units by the consultancy firm IMS Health found that 19 per cent of admissions were for what are known as self-treatable conditions. These include coughs, colds, muscle sprains, athlete's foot, headlice or babies with colic. The data covers one in 10 of the A&E units across England so, if the trends are the same, an estimated 4.1million of the 21.7million visits last year were for minor ailments. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has admitted taking his children to casualty at the weekend rather than making an appointment with a GP . Experts are urging patients to keep their medicine cabinets well stocked and to make better use of their pharmacists, where they can be seen and offered advice and treatment. Matthew Speers, chief executive of the Proprietary Association of Great Britain , which represents the manufacturers of over the counter medicines and commissioned the research said: ‘It is vital that the NHS raises awareness of the range of different services available to people and when to access them appropriately. ‘Pharmacists are well placed to provide advice to people with minor conditions, who don’t need to visit the GP or A&E, thereby ensuring they receive the support they need, without diverting NHS resources from people who really need them.’ He added that the NHS was facing a ‘crisis’ because staffing levels and finances were unable to cope with the needs of the steadily rising and aging population. ‘This cannot continue and that’s why we are calling for immediate action.’ But Dr Cliff Mann, president of the College of Emergency Medicine, which represents A&E doctors, said attempts to divert patients did not work. Dr Mann, an A&E consultant at Musgrove Park Hospital in Taunton, Dorset, added that the ‘A&E brand

Netflix is a waste of money because you won't be able to watch new shows, according to financial comparison website Finder.com.au. Michelle Hutchison, the site's money expert, claims that the booming Internet TV market is littered with traps and Netflix isn't really worth it, yet. 'With the recent launch of Netflix and other providers in Australia, there is a lot of hype about the value of streaming TV shows and movies over the internet,' she said. 'But is it really worth it?

An artist is showing nowhere is safe from terrorism - as Sylvanian Families are invaded by MICE-IS. Fluffy hedgehogs, rabbits, foxes and bears can be seen sitting down for a picnic on a grassy hill in Sylvania while evil jihadists lurk in the background. The bad animals are dressed head to toe in black with masks covering their faces, just like in the series of videos released by the terror group. Two can be seen clutching guns while a third is brandishing a knife - Jihadi John style - while a koala on a scooter holds an Isis flag. Terror: The Sylvanian Family terrorists lurk in the background, brandishing their weapons, in this otherwise idyllic picnic scene . The artist behind the creations wanted to use the children's classics to parody the murderous group. She has used the pseudonym 'Mimsy' to protect her identity and 'avoid any possibility of beheading' - suggesting she doesn't take the satire lightly. The second scene shows a classroom full of the furry creatures looking at equations on the blackboard while the menacing figures can be seen creeping into shot through the windows. Although a different terror network, the scene is bound to evoke thoughts of the Pakistan school massacre by the Taliban late last year. Lurking: The black-clad animals can be seen creeping up on the unsuspecting young animals during a lesson . A skit mocking Isis, produced by American comedy TV show Saturday Night Live, caused backlash in the US with many taking to social media to say 'Isis is not a joke.'

The White House blasted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday for holding up the confirmation of President Barack Obama's nominee for attorney general, saying the 'unconscionable delay' calls into question the Kentucky lawmaker's leadership abilities. The verbal strike on McConnell came after the Republican legislator said over the weekend that he wouldn't allow a vote on New York prosecutor Loretta Lynch's confirmation until the Senate passes a once bipartisan sex trafficking bill that Democrats are now refusing to support over a provision limiting funding for abortions. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said the delay on the attorney general post reflected 'inept leadership,' not a flaw in the trafficking bill, and that the move suggested the White House could no longer trust congressional Republicans to act in good faith. The spat is the latest indication that the respective goodwill professed by the White House and GOP leaders after November's elections, when Republicans were swept into control of Congress, has since soured and is now curdling. Scroll down for video . UNCONSCIONABLE: White House spokesman Josh Earnest blasted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday for holding up the confirmation of President Barack Obama's nominee for attorney general, saying the delay calls into question the Kentucky lawmaker's leadership abilities . The verbal strike on McConnell came after the Republican legislator said over the weekend that he wouldn't allow a vote on New York prosecutor Loretta Lynch's confirmation until the Senate finishes a once bipartisan human trafficking bill that Democrats are now refusing to support over a provision limiting funding for abortions . Battling for control of the federal government with the executive branch, the first few months of the GOP's reign over the legislative branch has been marked by constant bickering with the White House and numerous veto threats. In an attempt to balance what they saw as executive overreach on the part of the president, who in November took unilateral action to save millions of illegal immigrants from deportation against the wishes of Republicans in Congress, the GOP last month attempted to hold captive funding for the Homeland Security department. The majority party ended up with egg on its face, though, when it opted to back down from the fight and appropriate money to the department rather than watching it to go into shut down mode until Democrats backed a measure to defund Obama's immigration directives - a scenario that may have never come about. House Republicans in January also stuck their finger in the eye of the Obama administration when Boehner secretly invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress. Usually, the executive branch coordinates visits with foreign heads of state. More recently, Senate Republicans wrote a letter to Iranian leaders cautioning them that a nuclear pact with the current administration may not last. The missive could undermine the tenuous negotiations the U.S. and its allies are in with the Middle Eastern country. McConnell is now using the Lynch confirmation vote as a bargaining chip in his fight to keep a provision that would place heavy restrictions on use

With her dark sunglasses and stony expression, the image of Hillary staring at her smartphone made her look such a boss that it launched its own Tumblr parody account. The photograph, which dates from a trip to Tripoli, Libya in September 2011, was even adopted by the former Secretary of State herself for her Twitter profile picture. However, it seems that the picture which inspired hundreds of comedy memes could be no laughing matter for Clinton as it emerges the photograph could be a figurative smoking gun. Indeed, Clinton herself has removed the image removed from her Twitter account because it could show her using her controversial personal email account to conduct diplomacy in Libya. For more than a year, the former Secretary of State had used the monochrome image of her using a Blackberry on board a C-military plane headed to Tripoli in September 2011, around a month after Colonel Gaddafi's regime fell. But the picture, regularly seen by her 2.9million followers, was removed Sunday - ostensibly to promote a political campaign for gender equality, timed to coincide with International Women's Day. The image was once a symbol of Clinton's funny side as the face of the Texts From Hillary meme, which she said had given her 'many LOLZ' - but fell out of favor this week. Switcheroo: Hillary Clinton swapped out a picture of her using a Blackberry on her way to Libya for a silhouette promoting a gender equality initiative . However, the change also comes at a time when senior figures in Congress are intensifying scrutiny of Hillary's communications from 2009-13, which it was recently revealed were not conducted via official State Department accounts. Clinton has handed over swathes of communications from the time, but it has been claimed that the documents have 'huge gaps'. The image was mentioned by the chairman of a House committee into the 2012 attack on U.S. diplomats in Benghazi to suggest that vital communications from Clinton's involvement in Libya were being kept from public view. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-South Carolina), today told CBS's Face the Nation that he has been provided with no emails from the September 2011 trip - despite Clinton being clearly pictures communicating while aboard the plane. Proof? The chairman of the House Committee on Benghazi mentioned that he has seen no emails from Clinton's time in Libya, despite pictures such as this one from 2011, showing her using a Blackberry . He said: 'There are gaps of months and months and months. And if you think to that iconic picture of her on a C-17 flying to Libya, she has sunglasses on and she has her handheld device in her hand, we have no e-mails from that day. In fact, we have no e-mails from that trip. 'So, it's strange credibility to believe that if you're on your way to Libya to discuss Libyan policy that there's not a single document that has been turned over to Congress. 'So, there are huge gaps. And with respect to the president, it's not up to Secretary Clinton to decide what

Summary: Former Secretary of State swapped out phone picture for a blank silhouette . Said the switch was to raise awareness of gender equality initiative . Came amid huge scrutiny over use of private emails to enact foreign policy . Photograph was seized on to complain about emails withheld from Congress . Rep. Trey Gowdy said it 'strains credibility' to think picture from 2011 does not show Clinton dealing with Libya situation using private accounts .

A brave transgender teenager came out in front of his entire class. Tom Sosnik, 13, of Fresno, California, first read the suicide note written by Leelah Alcorn, another tragic teen who took her own life at the end of last year. He then told the students; 'I am no longer Mia. I never really was.' Scroll down for video . Tom Sosnik (above) came out as transgender to his class . Sosnik (above) told his fellow students; 'I am not Mia. I never really was' Sosnik (above with Glee star Lauren Potter) when he was Mia . The middle school student then said; 'And now I finally stand before you in my true and authentic gender identity as Tom. I stand before you as a 13-year-old boy.' Tom then detailed his struggle over the past few years, and what it took to bring him to the moment where he made this announcement. He eloquently explained his challenges, saying; 'For a while, I dismissed the fact that I hated my body. I pretended to be content with what I was assigned until, at a certain point, I broke.' Sosnik began his speech by reading the tragic suicide note of Leelah Alcorn (above) He then added; 'I went through a series of horrible breakdowns. And I would stand under the water in the shower crying. I knew I wasn't happy.' He also took some time to let other students know if they were struggling with their sexual identity or orientation, he was there for them. 'I want you to know that if no one else accepts you, I always will,' he said. If you are reading this, it means that I have committed suicide and obviously failed to delete this post from my queue. Please don't be sad, it's for the better. The life I would've lived isn't worth living in… because I'm transgender. I could go into detail explaining why I feel that way, but this note is probably going to be lengthy enough as it is. To put it simply, I feel like a girl trapped in a boy's body, and I've felt that way ever since I was 4. I never knew there was a word for that feeling, nor was it possible for a boy to become a girl, so I never told anyone and I just continued to do traditionally 'boyish' things to try to fit in. When I was 14, I learned what transgender meant and cried of happiness. After 10 years of confusion I finally understood who I was. I immediately told my mom, and she reacted extremely negatively, telling me that it was a phase, that I would never truly be a girl, that God doesn't make mistakes, that I am wrong.

Two sisters have defied the odds after giving birth within minutes of one another in the same hospital. Dwynwen Williams had her son Celt only three minutes after Iola Roberts gave birth to her daughter Mirain on February 19. Midwives gave the sisters, who live in Wales, beds side by side to each other in the same ward at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd hospital, after the births. Sisters Iola Roberts (left) and Dwynwen Williams (right) gave birth three minutes apart in the same hospital in adjacent rooms. The sisters are pictured here with Mirain (left) and Celt (right) The sisters, who were both overdue, had booked to be induced on separate dates but astonishingly both went into labour on February 19 this year . Dwynwen, 38, and Iola, 39, who both already had two children each, were thrilled to fall pregnant at the same time last year. Neither sister knew the other was pregnant, and the announcements were a huge surprise. They went through ante-natal appointments together, also at the same hospital. Iola, who lives in Nebo, North Wales, with husband Paul and their older children Brenig, six, and Brillaen, three, was given February 9 as a due date. While Dwynwen, who lives in Llangernyw, North Wales, with husband Dewi, a farmer, and their older children Mabon, seven and Llywarch, five, was due on February 13. Older sister Iola, who works as a nurse, said that despite their due dates being so close they had never expected to go into labour at the same time. She said: 'Everyone kept joking we might have the babies on the same day but I didn't think it was possible. The consultant-led unit where the sisters gave birth is currently under threat so both Iona and Dwynwen are both backing a national campaign supporting the unit. Pictured: Dwynwen with her three children in hospital . 'Both of my sons were born early so I expected this one to be the same.' But both babies were overdue and the sisters were booked in to be induced three days apart. However, both sisters went into labour before their appointments came. Dwynwen, 38, said: 'When I was on my way to hospital, I texted Iola to say what was happening, and I couldn't believe it when she sent one back to say she was also on her way.' Iola, who arrived at the hospital shortly after Dwynwen, added: 'When I arrived at the hospital, I was told I'd have to wait because there was someone in the treatment room being examined, and I replied: "Tell her to get a move on!" 'The midwife was shocked until she realised it was my sister.' The sisters were allowed on a ward together in the early stages of labour. They then gave birth in adjacent rooms, within three minutes of each other. Dwynwen said that having her sister there made the experience even more special. 'It was just so nice to have Iola around. It turned out she gave birth to Mirain at 1.11am, and I gave birth to Celt at 1.14am.' Iola

Summary: Dwynwen Williams and Iola Roberts gave birth on February 19 . Both were due to be induced but went into labour before their appointment . The cousins were then born next door to each other minutes apart .


Champions Exeter survived a strong second-half fightback by Leicester to book their place in the LV= Cup final against Saracens next Sunday. Exeter, who beat Northampton in last year's final, will meet Sarries at Franklin's Gardens after a 30-22 victory over the Tigers at Welford Road. The visitors led 20-16 at half-time thanks to tries by Elvis Taione and Fetu'u Vainikolo, with Michele Rizzo replying for Leicester. Exeter Chiefs celebrates their opening try from Elvis Taione beneath a pile of Leicester forwards . Leicester fly-half Tommy Bell, who kicked 17 points, put Leicester within one point in the second half with a penalty and a drop goal but Greg Bateman clinched Exeter's victory with a try in the 75th minute. Fly-half Ceri Sweeney kicked 15 points for Exeter, who had Max Bodilly yellow carded in the 62nd minute. Prop Rizzo opened the scoring for the Tigers with a fabulously worked try in the fifth minute after a searing break from his own half by winger Miles Benjamin. Fetu'u Vainikolo coasts away for the Chiefs second five-pointer of the first half as they took a 20-16 lead . Benjamin drew the last defender before finding impressive young centre George Catchpole and, after a ruck in the Exeter 22, Rizzo blasted over from short range with fly-half Bell adding the conversion. Exeter were level 10 minutes later when hooker Taione got the touchdown after a driving maul from a line-out and Sweeney kicked the conversion. Bell restored Leicester's lead with the first of three penalties, this one from half way, but Exeter kept their noses in front for the rest of the half after they were handed a second try on a plate in the 20th minute. Try-scorer Vainikolo tackles Tigers winger Miles Benjamin at a muddy Welford Road on Sunday . Leicester looked set to counter from their own 10-metre line but number eight Laurence Pearce's pass was easily intercepted by winger Vainikolo, who ran in under the posts unopposed, with Sweeney adding the conversion. Sweeney kicked two penalties with a minute of the half left to give his side a small four-point cushion which became seven two minutes after the break thanks to another Sweeney penalty. Bell missed a long range penalty before finding the posts with a drop goal after Leicester failed to score from a line-out and drive. Tigers scrum half David Mele spins the ball right from the ruck as they fall short in the LV= Cup semi-final . Bell put Leicester one point behind with his fourth penalty after Exeter full-back Bodilly had been sin-binned in the 62nd minute for a professional foul after a great break by Tigers lock Brad Thorn. Leicester, who made several key changes on the hour, might have scored moments later after Benjamin's break put replacement hooker Neil Briggs clear but he was collared just short by flanker Ben White. Replacement Bateman sealed victory for Exeter, only their second at Welford, with a try from a line-out and drive in the 75th minute with Sweeney converting.

Summary: Exeter meet Sarries at Franklin's Gardens next Sunday in LV= Cup final . The Chiefs scored three tries to Leicester's one at Welford Road . Michele Rizzo crossed and Tommy Bell kicked 17 points for the Tigers . Elvis Taione, Fetu'u Vainikolo and Greg Bateman scored tries for Chiefs .


FIFA has confirmed the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar will take place on Sunday, December 18. It comes after a FIFA taskforce recommended last month the tournament should be switched from summer to winter to avoid the searing heat of the Gulf in June and July, where temperatures can exceed 40C. The decision to hold the first ever winter World Cup was taken more than four years after the most controversial award of a sporting event in history. Scroll down for video . Shock: FIFA President Sepp Blatter awarded the 2022 World Cup to Qatar in December 2, 2010 . Iron fist: Sepp Blatter, speaking to journalists today, confirmed the final will be on December 18, 2022 . Confirming the date for the 2022 World Cup final, Walter De Gregorio, FIFA's director of communications, said: 'This is for us an important step. 'Finally we know the end of the tournament. It's a Sunday and, by the way, it's the national day in Qatar, so it fits perfectly.' He added: 'You have enough time to do your Christmas shopping.' FIFA has indicated the 2022 tournament will also be shortened to 28 days, instead of the usual 32. The competition is likely to begin (featuring the hosts' Qatar) on November 21. The decision means the traditional and popular Boxing Day club matches will take place as usual – which will come as some comfort to the Premier League who have strongly opposed the switch. UEFA - the body that governs European football - had pushed for the final to be as late as December 23. Main stage: The Al-Rayyan stadium, in an artist impression, will hold the Qatar 2022 World Cup final . The Qatar World Cup has been mired in controversy ever since the shock decision to stage the tournament in the desert kingdom which has no footballing history and a questionable human rights record. Sepp Blatter, FIFA's long-standing president, even admitted last year that staging the tournament in Qatar was a 'mistake' – justifying it by saying 'but one makes lots of mistakes in life'. Allegations of widespread corruption and collusion dogged the process from the outset. A report by investigator Michael Garcia into allegations of corruption remains secret, unpublished and subject to dispute between its author and FIFA. The idea of holding the prestigious tournament in winter has also proved controversial. When the decision to hold the competition in Qatar was first made, Blatter vowed: 'The basic conditions – not just for Qatar but for all the candidates – were the same. It means the FIFA World Cup is played in June and July.' But following major concerns about the scorching weather in the country, he made a U-turn saying it was 'not responsible' to play in the burning sun. Controversial: The FIFA president initially said the tournament would be in the summer, but backtracked . A report by investigator Michael Garcia into allegations of corruption remains secret and unpublished . This enraged the Premier League and other European leagues as it will cause huge upheaval to the football calendar.

Summary: FIFA confirm the 2022 World Cup final will take place on December 18 . Controversial tournament will take place in Qatar despite concerns . Final date means traditional Boxing Day matches will still occur . It is set to start on November 21 and likely to be shortened to 28 days . Qatar World Cup dogged in controversy since first awarded in 2010 .


David Duckenfield admitted calling for police dogs instead of ambulances as fans were being crushed to death . The police chief on duty during the Hillsborough disaster has admitted calling for police dogs instead of ambulances as fans were being crushed to death. But David Duckenfield denied his mindset was focused on hooliganism rather than safety at the inquest into the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans during the FA Cup semi-final in April 1989. The retired officer, 70, has already made a series of admissions about 'mistakes' he made, confessed that he lied in the aftermath and apologised 'unreservedly' to fans' families. He said he initially thought the problem was crowd disorder and only realised it was a 'medical emergency at 3.04pm' - 12 minutes after the crush started on the terrace. But at that time transcripts of tape recordings made in the police control box where the match commander was stationed showed a subordinate officer calling for police dogs. Rajiv Menon QC, representing families of the victims, said: 'You must have asked him to do this. It's a medical emergency. Can you explain that? Why on earth do you need dogs at the stadium?' Mr Duckenfield said he had 'no idea' other than he wanted to create a 'secure area' for the rescue operation. Mr Menon asked: 'So dogs requested, ambulances yet to be requested. Correct?' The witness replied: 'It would appear so.' At 3.06pm Mr Duckenfield called for operational support, a request for all available officers in the force area to go to the stadium. Mr Menon asked: 'Why more manpower?', to which Duckenfield replied: 'To help the rescue.' The QC representing the families said responded: 'What rescue? You have yet to call for ambulances or fire crews.' The inquest heard that a request for a fleet of ambulances to attend Hillsborough was made around two minutes and 40 seconds after the call for back-up from dog-handlers. On the day of the disaster, police became overwhelmed by fans at the turnstiles as kick-off approached and Mr Duckenfield gave the order at 2.52pm to open gates to let them in. Around 2,000 fans poured in through Gate C, many heading straight for a tunnel in front of them. But Mr Duckenfield, as match commander, had not ordered this to be closed, which was a 'blunder of the first magnitude', the inquest jury heard. The tunnel led directly to the already-full central pens on the Leppings Lane terrace. Some 96 Liverpool fans were killed in the crush on the overcrowded Leppings Lane terrace . Around 2,000 fans poured in through Gate C (pictured), many heading straight for a tunnel in front of them, which had not been closed off by police . Ninety-six Liverpool fans died in the ensuing crush minutes later on the terraces of Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough ground as the FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest kicked off. Mr Menon said police records did not record Duckenfield declaring a major incident, which would have triggered a disaster rescue plan by emergency services. Mr Duckenfield insisted he had done so and

Summary: David Duckenfield, 70, was in charge of the stadium on the day of disaster . Former police chief admitted calling for police dogs instead of ambulances . He confessed that he made 'mistakes' and lied in aftermath of disaster . But he denied his mindset was focused on hooliganism rather than safety . He made comments at inquest into deaths of 96 Liverpool fans in 1989 .


Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew believes English football does not have enough black managers and coaches – and wants the ‘jobs for the boys’ culture out of the game. Palace face Queens Park Rangers in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off at Selhurst Park and their manager Chris Ramsey is the only ethnic minority boss in the Barclays Premier League. Pardew wants clubs to work on encouraging ethnic minority coaches to reflect the huge variety of cultures that players in England come from, rather than employing the same “boys club” members. Palace manager Alan Pardew believes that English football isn't doing enough to include black coaches . Chris Ramsey, QPR boss, is the only black coach in the top flight - and one of just six in the Football League . Ramsey is one of just six black or ethnic minorities bosses in the Football League, along with Huddersfield Town boss Chris Powell, Brighton’s Chris Hughton, Carlisle manager Keith Curle, Leyton Orient boss Fabio Liverani and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink with Burton Albion. ‘He (Ramsey) is black, which I think is great for the Premier League,’ Pardew said. ‘It’s something that I want to promote here in terms of our coaches, because the percentage of players we have to percentage of coaches in terms of origin isn’t right.’ Palace employ just ‘three or four’ black coaches, according to Pardew and in future recruitment he plans to change that, while backing the idea of a ‘Rooney Rule’ as seen in American Football where a black coach is considered for every job. ‘I’m going to keep approaching when vacancies come up and make sure that we are covering every kind of opportunity in terms of applications that come in,’ he said. ‘It isn’t “jobs for the boys” here anymore, I’m not saying it was, but sometimes it does go like that. Ramsey takes a coaching session at the QPR training ground this week ahead of his side's trip to Palace . Former Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink is currently managing League Two outfit Burton Albion . ‘I think something like that (the Rooney Rule) could be looked at. I also know the LMA and the PFA are really trying to encourage a more diverse approach to getting different creeds to come into the coaching world and I just want to take this opportunity to back that up. Pardew also looked to push forward the prospects of more Asian footballers coming into the game after signing South Korean winger Lee Chung-yong from Bolton Wanderers in the January transfer window. And Pardew says Palace, based in the ethnically diverse area of South Norwood outside London, owe it to their surroundings to be more culturally diverse. ‘I don’t want to talk just about Afro-Caribbean coaches either,’ he said. ‘We have an Asian player now in our first team. We don’t have a lot of that and that’s another area that we need to promote, Asian footballers in this area because there’s a lot of huge community here. ‘We need a greater influx of Indians, Afro-Caribbeans, entering our coaching system and getting

Summary: Alan Pardew believes there should be more non-white managers . The Eagles boss is keen to see the Rooney Rule introduced into football . The Rooney Rule ensures a black coach is interviewed when vacancy occurs in American Football . Crystal Palace take on Chris Ramsey's QPR on Saturday afternoon .

Jessica McCarty's five-month-old son Christopher Swist had been on life support at Florida Hospital for Children since Friday, the same day her other children, seven-year-old Laci and six-year-old Philip, were pronounced dead. The 33-year-old mother has been charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder. Scroll down for video . Sole survivor: Police said Monday five-month-old Christopher Swist (right), died three days after his mother Jessica McCarty killed his two older siblings in a botched murder-suicide. McCarty (pictured on the left in a suicide-protection vest with bandages on her slashed wrists) survived the attack and was arrested . What happened to the happy family? McCarty, pictured with her partner Chris Swist, daughter Laci McCarty (right) and sons Philip McCarty (center) and Christopher Swist (in her arms), called the police on herself . Police say none of the three murdered children were shot or stabbed, but lacerations were discovered . The attempted murder charge could be upgraded. Christopher's father came home and found him with a cord wrapped around his neck on Friday at the house in Palm Bay, Florida.

However, McCarty did have a troubled history and in 2009 was investigated by the Department of Children and Families for possible child neglect. The agency recommended McCarty to mental health counseling after that investigation, according to public records. She has also been arrested on charges of forgery, shoplifting, and prescription drug abuse. Police were first called to the family's residence just before 6pm, when McCarty called 911 to say her three children were dead and that she had cut her wrists. Christopher Swist, the father of the infant, also called police when he came

David Cameron was heckled and mocked by an audience of elderly voters he was hoping to convince to vote for the Conservatives. Pensioners shouted ‘rubbish’, ‘lies’, and ‘answer the question’ - and one waved his walking stick at the Prime Minister - as he was challenged about spending on social care and agency workers employed by the NHS. Mr Cameron had given a speech outlining his commitment to annual rises in the state pension, protecting the health budget and entitlements to free TV licences and bus passes. Scroll down for video . David Cameron speaks with members of the charity Age UK during a ‘General Election rally’ in central London, in which the Prime Minister ended up being heckled by the audience for spending on social care . The AgeUK event in London yesterday descended into chaos as pensioners in the audience repeatedly called out, branding the Prime Minister's answers 'rubbish' and accusing him of not answering their questions . He finished his address to a ‘General Election rally’ held by the charity Age UK in central London by urging the audience to ‘choose what’s right for our children and grandchildren’ by voting Conservative. But in a combative question and answer session, many of the pensioners were deeply unimpressed by his answers. Alfred Clemo, 86, was angry at not getting a ‘straight answer’ after he asked Mr Cameron what he would do about the number of NHS doctors and nurses leaving to work for agencies for higher salaries. Mr Cameron said it was a ‘difficult issue’ as hospitals hired agency staff to deal with extra pressure, particularly on A&E departments. ‘The truth of it, Sir, is that well-run hospitals are less reliant on agency staff’ the Prime Minister said. ‘We need to make sure all hospitals copy the best hospitals that are less reliant on agency staff.’ He tried to move on, but Mr Clemo, a retired garage owner from Warrington who is a governor of his local hospital, replied: ‘Excuse me, you haven’t answered my question’ and repeated it. Mr Cameron said that he could not stop health service staff looking for a ‘better deal’, to jeers and cries of ‘rubbish’ and ‘answer the question’ from the audience. The Prime Minister pleaded: ‘I am answering the question, I don’t want to ban agency nurses as then hospitals that were struggling wouldn’t be able to get hold of them.’ It was revealed earlier this week that hospitals are paying locum doctors up to £3,200 a shift – of which a substantial cut goes to the agency. NHS trusts spent £1.2bn on agency staff in 2013-14 – with agency nurses being paid up to £160 an hour to make up for staff shortages in A&E. Pensioners shouted ‘rubbish’, ‘lies’, and ‘answer the question’ - and one waved his walking stick at the Prime Minister - as he was challenged about spending on social care and agency workers employed by the NHS . Cameron had given a speech outlining his commitment to annual rises in the state pension, protecting the health budget and entitlements

Summary: PM was heckled by pensioners as he tried to convince them to vote Tory . Audience shouted ‘rubbish’, ‘lies’, and ‘answer the question’ at voting rally . David Cameron was challenged about spending on social care and NHS . He announced earlier this week that he would not bid for third term in 2020 . Cameron said two terms were 'wonderful' but three 'might just be too many'
