Gus Poyet could not have looked more despondent at the final whistle had the fans who tried to storm his dugout in the first half got to him, vented their ire in his face and made it crystal clear they felt that he was to blame. ‘I am responsible,’ he said, looking as gloomy as at any point since he became Sunderland’s manager in October 2013. ‘I’m extremely disappointed. I wasn’t expecting this to happen. But it’s football, I suppose.’ It’s football, too, that woeful form and defeats like these lead to managerial sackings. Poyet’s job prospects looked more dire by the minute as this match wore on. Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke slotted home the first goal in the 16th minute to end Villa's goal drought on the road . Gabriel Agbonlahor ran on to Ciaran Clark's long ball and beat Sunderland keeper Costel Pantilimon to make it 2-0 . Sunderland (4-1-4-1): Pantilimon 4; Reveillere 3.5 O’Shea 3, Brown 3, Van Aanholt 3; Bridcutt 4; Alvarez 3 (Wickham 46, 5), Larsson 4.5, Rodwell 5, Fletcher 3 (Graham 82); Defoe 3. Substitutes not used: Mannone, Jones, Gomez, Coates, Vergini. Goals: Benteke 16 & 44, Agbonlahor 18 & 37 . Booked: Bridcutt . Manager: Gus Poyet 2 .

Christian Benteke was a constant thorn in Sunderland defence.CLICK HERE to see more from Sportsmail's MATCH ZONE . Christian Benteke and Gabby Agbonlahor scored twice each in a spectacular first-half goal rush to end Aston Villa’s scoring drought away from home. ‘That was good,’ said their manager Tim Sherwood. ‘We knew we could hurt them on the break with our pace and we used it … I’m delighted with that.’ Thus Villa leapfrogged Sunderland and now look up towards safety while Sunderland’s position remains precarious just above the relegation zone, no signs of revival in sight. The fans are revolting already, several of them apparently intent on launching physical attacks on Poyet at 3-0 down. They were escorted from the dugout but other dangers remain for Poyet. The pre-match narrative anticipated a dour 0-0 but the result and manner in which it was achieved left that not so much turned on its head but stumbling dazed to the exit. Like Poyet. Like many home fans even before half-time. A shocking lack of goals has characterised both teams all season, Villa particularly. At the start of the day they had 38 league goals — between them. Sunderland now have one league win in 12 games and Villa have two in two, and three wins on the bounce in all competitions. Sherwood’s appointment has had the transformational effect owner Randy Lerner envisaged and that many observers were sceptical would happen. Agbonlahor cut inside

Summary: Christian Benteke and Gabriel Agbonlahor combined to leave Gus Poyet's job hanging by a thread . Villa, who had scored four league goals on the road all season, doubled their tally inside 44 remarkable minutes . Sunderland boss Poyet was confronted by angry supporters close to his dug-out just before half-time .


Beauty giant Sephora has been slammed by its customers in the US for marketing a lipstick which is named 'Underage Red'. The offensively-labeled item, which is part of a range of beauty products created by tattoo artist-turned-reality star Kat Von D, real name Katherine von Drachenberg, 33, has caused outrage among customers, many of whom have taken to social media to vent their anger at the store. 'Went shopping for some makeup. How on earth is this a lipstick color?' one person questioned on Twitter, after posting a picture of the lipstick name. Scroll down for video . Offensive: A group of concerned Sephora customers took to Twitter to slam the beauty giant for marketing a lipstick from the Kat Von D range which is named 'Underage Red' (pictured) Beauty guru: Ms Von D, 33, whose real name is Katherine von Drachenberg (pictured), first rose to fame while starring in TLC reality series LA Ink . Cult favorite: According to the Sephora website (pictured), Underage Red, a 'matte fire engine red' lipstick, is particularly popular with customers . 'JESUS do they have a whole sex offender line?' someone else tweeted. 'Lipstick named by creeps,' another person added. Some people, however, chose to see the 'funny side' of the bizarrely-named lipstick, which is believed to have launched around a year ago in stores, and others went as far as to defend Ms Von D's decision to opt for such a risky name. 'So dumb that people are upset over a lipstick color,' one girl tweeted. '"Underage Red" is a hilarious title, especially coming from Kat Von D. Its funny, guys.' The lipstick, which is currently available on the Sephora website and in select stores, is described as being a 'matte fire engine red' and is also highlighted by Sephora as being a 'cult favorite' with its customers. Two types of 'Underage Red' lipsticks are also available at Sephora's first Australian store in Sydney . Going global: 'Underage Red' lipsticks also sold in the Sydney store include the Everlasting Liquid Finish Lipstick for AUD $30 ($20) (pictured) and the Studded Kiss Lipstick for AUD $31 ($21) New venture: Sephora's Sydney store, at Westfield's Pitt Street Mall, opened on December 5 last year .

Other names included in the Studded Kiss Lipstick line-up include Lolita, Hellbent, and Sexer. Daily Mail Australia has contacted the Sydney Sephora for comment. Interestingly, it is not the first time that the name choices for these lipsticks have been questioned by Sephora's customers. In November 2013, the cosmetics company was forced to issue an apology to its customers and pull a Kat Von D lipstick with the shade description 'Celebutard' from its stores and website after receiving numerous complaints about the 'insensitivity' of the lipstick's name. Outrage: Many people have tweeted their horror at the controversial lipstick name

In 2012, beauty lovers slammed Sephora's decision to stock a lipstick from the same brand which was named 'Celebutard'


A 'deals on wheels' cannabis gang which used a parked Mazda near a university as its mobile drug den has been jailed. The group made £600 a day pushing the drug onto students in Cardiff after parking the black vehicle near its campus in Cathays. Four of its Kurdish members were jailed after being watched by police as they opened the car's door to one customer. Haram Kalaf (left) and Saman Ahmed (right) were among members of the gang which sold drugs from a black Mazda parked near Cardiff University . South Wales Police Officers found £3,650 of cannabis and £2,399 in cash inside. Haram Kalaf, 25, a failed asylum seeker and Saman Ahmed, 28, Nasir Karimi, 26, and Bakhutar Shakir, 28, were all handed sentences of between 13 and 21 months each. Cardiff Crown Court heard how the gang also used rental cars to shuttle drugs from the Mazda to customers. When police seized the vehicle they found 295 small bags of the drug hidden alongside thousands of pounds in cash stashed beneath the carpet. Nair Karimi had been living 'hand to mouth' for eight years before being jailed, the court heard . The gang was stopped when officers monitoring another of their cars watched them invite a young woman into the vehicle to buy £20 of the drug. 'The car door opened as if to draw her attention, she got in and left seconds later', prosecutor Jason Howells said. 'When she was stopped, she said "I’m sorry, I don’t want to get into trouble. I’ve just bought some weed for £20"'. After searching that vehicle, a Vauxhall Astra, they were taken to the Mazda where the majority of the haul was kept. Sentencing Judge Huw Rees said all of the men had come to the UK to sell drugs. 'You came here with a single purpose, to supply cannabis, making a lucrative profit. 'It was a well organised venture and the location you chose is significant - you came to an area of the city where students live, that intention is clear. 'And you used an extra vehicle with the sole purpose of storing your hoard so that if you were caught, you would only have small amounts on you.' Kalaf, a failed asylum seeker from Bristol, told police he was selling £600 of drugs every day. Ahmed, a father-of-two, was recruited as his driver while Karimi had been living 'hand to mouth' since arriving in the UK eight years earlier. Shakir, a gambling addict, had previously been arrested for drug offences. The drug dealers parked the Mazda on Rhymney Street in Cardiff and used other vehicles to shuttle drugs around the city .

Summary: The gang of men dealt drugs from the car not far from Cardiff University . Coaxed students into buying cannabis and shuttled drugs around city . Ringleader Haram Kalaf told police he'd been making £600 a day . Police discovered almost 300 small bags of cannabis in car upon raid .


A cat is showing signs of improvement after undergoing urgent surgery for having an arrow shot in her eye which went through her skull. She was brought into an Auckland vet clinic late last night with a metal arrow 'quite deeply imbedded' in her right eye, veterinarian Dr Jess Beer told 3 News. Dr Beers believes this was an intended attack and the incident is being investigated by animal welfare. A cat is surprisingly recovering well after having an arrow shot in her eye which went through her skull . The young female cat was taken to the Maunkau After Hours Veterinary Clinic . She was brought into an Auckland vet clinic late last night with a metal arrow 'quite deeply imbedded' in her right eye, veterinarian Dr Jess Beer said . The young female cat was rushed to the Maunkau After Hours Veterinary Clinic when her owners discovered her with a metal arrow in her eye when she came back to their Howick home, east of Auckland. 'The bolt came out with no major complications and fingers crossed, we are actually hoping that eye will be saved,' Dr Beer told 3 News. 'It was directly in her eye, someone was aiming for her head, so I can't imagine this being an accident. 'Unfortunately, there are some people who consider cats a nuisance and I would hate to think this is the outcome of those sorts of attitudes.' Dr Beers believes this was a deliberate attack and the incident is being investigated by animal welfare . Dr Beer says she will find a new home for the cat once she makes a recovery from surgery . Dr Beer says she will be monitoring the cat for 10 days before making a decision on whether the injured pet can undergo a second surgery to take out its wounded eye. The attack is being investigated by Auckland SPCA, who are appealing for information into the incident. Chief executive Chris Kalin told 3 News there has been two other similar cases in the area in recent years. The clinic had to perform the surgery for free as the cat's owners could not afford to pay the medical bills. Dr Beer says she will find a new home for the cat once she makes a recovery from surgery.

Summary: A cat is recovering after undergoing urgent surgery on Tuesday night . Veterinarian Dr Jess Beer says the metal arrow was 'quite deeply imbedded' in the cat's right eye . Dr Beers believes this was a deliberate attack and the incident is being investigated by animal welfare .

A filter-feeding 'lobster' as big as a human took the place of whales 480 million years ago, a new fossil find has shown. The 6.5ft (two-metre) prehistoric creature belonged to the family of anomalocaridids that were the early ancestors of modern crustaceans, insects and spiders. At this length it would have been comparable in size to athlete Usain Bolt, actor Liam Hemsworth and former wrestler Hulk Hogan. A giant filter-feeding 'lobster' (illustrated left) took the place of whales 480 million years ago, a new fossil find has shown. The 6.5ft (two-metre) prehistoric creature was an early ancestors of modern crustaceans, insects and spiders and at this length would have been comparable in size to athlete Usain Bolt (pictured right) The remains were unearthed in Morocco and it is thought to be the oldest giant filter-feeder ever discovered. But while most of its relatives were shark-like apex predators with circular mouths ringed by sharp teeth, the new species, named Aegirocassis benmoulae, was a 'gentle giant'. The 6.5ft (two-metre) prehistoric creature belonged to the family of anomalocaridids that were the early ancestors of modern crustaceans, insects and spiders. Like modern-day whales, it filtered seawater to trap tiny particles of food, using spine-covered 'limbs' on its head. Fossils also show that Aegirocassis had pairs of swimming flaps along its body. These were likely to be precursors of the unique double-branched appendages seen in modern crustaceans. Like modern-day whales, it filtered seawater to trap tiny particles of food, using spine-covered 'limbs' on its head. Modern-day lobsters grow to around 19 inches (50cm) and modern-day whales average at around 79ft (25 metres). Dr Allison Daley, from Oxford University, who co-led a team studying Aegirocassis writing in the journal Nature, said: 'This would have been one of the largest animals alive at the time. 'These animals are filling an ecological role that hadn't previously been filled by any other animal. 'While filter-feeding is probably one of the oldest ways for animals to find food, previous filter-feeders were smaller, and usually attached to the sea-floor. 'We have found the oldest example of gigantism in a freely swimming filter-feeder.' A. benmoulae was named after the Moroccan fossil hunter who discovered it, Mohamed Ben Moula. The 3D fossil, exposed using tiny needle-like tools to chip away the surrounding rock, is exceptionally well preserved.

England fell agonisingly short of claiming an astonishing Six Nations title as Stuart Lancaster's side ran in seven tries to beat France on one of the most astonishing days in the history of the Championship. Going into the game knowing they needed to win by 26 clear points, Stuart Lancaster's team produced an incredible show of attacking rugby which saw them finish one of the most remarkable matches in Twickenham history broken, but not bowed. England's players were left distraught as the realisation they had finished so near but so far away from winning the title.

It seems that the evolutionary tree of life looks more like a giant swirling lollipop. Scientists have assembled the largest and most accurate timeline of life on Earth containing more than 50,000 different species. The new TimeTree of Life, as it is known, has revealed that rather than expanding in bursts, the diversity of life on our planet has actually been growing at a constant rate. Scroll down for video . This new TimeTree of 50,632 species was created by compressing evolutionary history into a narrow grey strip so that time progresses across the width of the strip. The different colours correspond to the main taxonomic divisions that appeared on Earth to create this lollipop, or spiral galaxy, shaped evolutionary tree . The finding contradicts the prevailing view of diversification slowing down as ecological niches fill up with species, only to surge forward again in the wake of a major extinction. Researchers also found that on average it takes around two million years for a new species to emerge from an existing group of animals. A study has claimed that the changes induced by evolution can be reversible, meaning certain animals can return to an earlier biological trait. The remarkable discovery was made by finding birds had regrown a bone previously discarded by dinosaurs millions of years ago. The study was carried out by a team of scientists from the University of Chile . They found that 230 million years ago, two-legged dinosaurs no longer required the strong wrists of their four-legged brethren, and thus they became weak. The number of bones in wrists shrank from 11 to three, with one in particular of interest to disappear being the pisiform. But according to the research, the bone reappeared when dinosaurs evolved into birds and took flight. The new bone, called the ulnare, appears in the same place as the pisiform once did. The pisiform allowed bird wings to remain rigid on the upstroke. The study found it disappeared in bird-like dinosaurs, but modern birds later evolved to once again use this tiny bone. The scientists used data from nearly 2,300 studies examining the molecular biology and genetic diversity of different species. They have now produced a database that can be searched to find out when species separated in evolutionary history and when they last shared a common ancestor. Professor Blair Hedges, director of the Centre for Biodiversity at Temple University in Philadelphia who was one of those leading the study, said the resulting tree took on a more spiral-like appearance. He said: 'This finding shows that speciation is more clock-like than people have thought. 'The constant rate of diversification that we have found indicates that the ecological niches of life are not being filled up and saturated. 'This is contrary to the popular alternative model which predicts a slowing down of diversification as niches fill up with species.' The researchers, whose study is published in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution, used what are known as molecular-clocks to produce the new swirling tree of life. These look for changes within DNA to

Summary: Biologists at Temple University created a spiral shaped view of evolution . They used data from 'molecular clock' studies on more than 50,000 species . These analyse mutations in DNA to calculate when species evolved apart . It shows dogs and humans shared a common ancestor 94.2m years ago . Crows and chimps separated from each other more than 290m years ago . The study shows the diversity of life on Earth has grown at a constant rate . This contradicts the traditional view of evolution as occurring in bursts .


Government employees in Florida have been banned from using the terms 'climate change' or 'global warming', an investigation has revealed. Former staff members from the state's Department for Environmental Protection (DEP) confirmed they were not allowed to use the phrases in reports, emails or official communications because it is 'not a true fact'. The bizarre practice is said to have been enforced since Governor Rick Scott took office in 2011 - a politician who insists climate change is not caused by humans. The practice enforced in the Department for Environmental Protection is said to have been enforced since Governor Rick Scott took office in 2011 - a politician who insists climate change is not caused by humans . The unofficial guidelines have been criticized as a number of scientists have warned The Sunshine State is more vulnerable than anywhere in the United States to rising sea levels. A report published in 2012 suggested southern parts of Florida could be under water within 100 years. Despite concerns, four former DEP employees across the state say the order not to use the phrases was well known and distributed verbally statewide. Kirstina Trotta, a former DEP employee based in Miami, told the Florida Center for Investigative Reporting (FCIR) they could not use the terms because they were not 'allowed to discuss anything that was not a true fact'. Christopher Byrd, an attorney with the DEP’s Office of General Counsel in Tallahassee from 2008 to 2013, added: 'We were told not to use the terms "climate change," "global warming" or "sustainability," 'That message was communicated to me and my colleagues by our superiors in the Office of General Counsel. The unofficial guidelines have been criticized as a number of scientists have warned The Sunshine State is more vulnerable than anywhere in the United States to rising sea levels (pictured flooding in Miami Beach' 'It’s an indication that the political leadership in the state of Florida is not willing to address these issues and face the music when it comes to the challenges that climate change presents.' Another staff member, who wanted to remain anonymous, said they were warned use of the words would bring unwanted attention to their projects. They told the FCIR: 'We were dealing with the effects and economic impact of climate change, and yet we can’t reference it.' Spokesman for the DEP, Tiffany Cowie, told the FCIR: 'DEP does not have a policy on this'. A representative from the Governor's office also denied the claims.

Summary: Policy impacts Department for Environmental Protection employees . Barred from using terms in emails, reports or official communications . Unwritten policy was initiated when Gov. Rick Scott took power in 2011 . Has said he's not convinced climate change is caused by human activity . Senior officials have denied such a policy exists .


Walking dictionary: Li Yanzhi has memorised the meaning of every word from the English-Chinese dictionary . A Chinese mother has become a walking dictionary by memorising the English-Chinese Dictionary from cover to cover, reported the People’s Daily. Li Yanzhi, 51, from Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, is able to explain the meaning of every single word in the 2,458-page book, which consists of 220,000 entries. Ms Li, who divorced more than 20 years ago, undertook the mission in order to receive more translating work. This helps her support her 26-year-old son who suffers from autism and is not able to take care of himself. Ms Li is a lecturer in Financial English at Xian Transport University’s Economic and Banking School. Since August 2013, she has been reading the dictionary six hours every day from 3am. Within 19 days, she finished the memorisation for the first time. According to People’s Daily, to succeed in the College English Test Band 6, which most university students in China are required to pass, the candidates need to understand 6,000 words. In comparison, Ms Li's vocabulary is extraordinary. To help her memorising, Ms Li borrowed 465 English language magazines from the university library. 'My biggest dream is to enter The Brain to challenge myself,' said Ms Li. The Brain is a popular reality TV show in China which uses a series of games, such as memorisation, to test the contestants' brainpower. Ms Li said that son is autistic and cannot look after himself. Since her divorce more than 20 years ago, she and her son have been reliant on each other. As a single mother, Ms Li had to lock her son in the house whenever she went out for work. She said when she returned the house was always a complete mess. Learning English in China: Chinese students need to understand around 6,000 in order to pass College English Test Band 6. In comparison, Ms Li's vocabulary is extraordinary . But she said she never gave up. 'If I can fly I will fly, if I cant fly I will run, if I cannot run I will crawl,' she said.'No matter what you must move forward.' In order to improve their lives, Ms Li does translation work as a freelancer on top of her regular teaching. Through this, she has earned enough to buy herself a new apartment. Apart from English, Ms Li has learned to speak more than 10 different languages, including French, Russian, German, Japanese and Polish. She hopes that by memorising the 220,000 words from the dictionary, she can encourage students to learn English and increase their vocabulary. 'Lecturer Li really is a living English-Chinese Dictionary,' says Zhang Xinjie, one of her students.

Summary: The dictionary has 2,458 pages and 220,000 entries . Mother Li Yanzhi divorced more than 20 years ago . She reads the dictionary for six hours a day from 3am . She does it to earn money to give her son a better life . 26-year-old son is autistic and cannot look after himself .


An FBI agent who was supposed to be upholding the law was busted on 64 counts in a drug tampering case after he stole heroin from investigations and overdosed in an unmarked police car. Matthew Lowry, 33, a heroin-addicted former special agent in the Washington field office tampered with hundreds of grams of heroin seized during drug investigations in 2013 and 2014. He was investigated by the Department of Justice after he was found slumped over and unconscious in his unmarked FBI vehicle from a heroin overdose on September 29. Car: Matthew Lowry, formerly a special agent with the agency's Washington field office was investigated after he was found unconscious in his unmarked FBI vehicle, pictured, on September 29 after overdosing on heroin . Heroin: Bags of heroin, pictured, were recovered from the FBI agent's vehicle where he kept drugs in his car for weeks or months, and used it periodically . According to authorities, Lowry, a married father of one, allegedly took drugs that had been processed as evidence, removed heroin from evidence bags, and then added a cutting agent to account for the missing weight. He used a dietary supplement or a laxative as the cutting agents. Lowry then kept the bags of heroin in his car for weeks or months, and used it periodically, according to charging documents filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Friday. His crimes were fueled by an addiction to prescription painkillers, but his dishonesty botched dozens of cases involving suspected drug traffickers in multiple states. In one case, charges were dropped against 14 defendants suspected to be involved with a large-scale drug-trafficking organization that was the subject of a major FBI investigation in California. The investigation included court-ordered wiretaps, physical surveillance and numerous controlled drug buys, time-consuming and costly investigative techniques. Theft: Documents revealed that Lowry took heroin he got during controlled buys as part of FBI investigations . Attorney: Robert Bonsib said Lowry will plead guilty to 64 charges of obstruction of justice, heroin possession and conversion of property. He could face at least seven years in prison . Additionally, his actions caused federal prosecutors to dismiss charges against at least 28 defendants in drug cases. They also had to notify 150 more that Lowry had participated in investigations targeting them. Attorney Robert Bonsib said Lowry will plead guilty to 64 charges of obstruction of justice, heroin possession and conversion of property. He could face at least seven years in prison. Meanwhile, documents revealed that the former FBI agent took heroin he got during controlled buys as part of FBI investigations. Evidence: Lowry removed small amounts of heroin from evidence packages to self-medicate his health issue known as ulcerative colitis . Bonsib said in each of 20 incidents involving evidence tampering, Lowry removed small amounts of heroin from evidence packages to self-medicate his health issue known as ulcerative colitis. One of Lowry's doctors had prescribed him powerful pain medications without warning him of how addictive they were, Bonsib said. When his doctor left the practice without notice, Lowry tried to kick the

Over the last few weeks, Jeremy Clarkson has had to defend himself from all sides as he faced the axe from his Top Gear show. But while the TV star went through a range of emotions under the glare of the media spotlight, one constant that remained by his side was an attractive blonde, who was the first to rush to Jeremy's London home following the news of his BBC sacking today. Phillipa Sage, 45, has been a feature in Jeremy’s life since 2010, while he was still in a relationship with his wife Frances. Scroll down for video .

A year earlier, Jeremy had appeared to make reference to his rumoured love interest in a motoring column in a national newspaper where he discussed a time that he test drove a Maserati in New Zealand, with Phillipa in the back seat. In the article, which lead with the headline, ‘Lie back, leggy Philippa, while I have some fun,’ the presenter also referenced the blonde’s impressive stature. He wrote: ‘In the Maserati there was space behind Nigel for our green-room director Philippa, who's so tall she's actually measured in hands.’ At the time, both sides were quick to deny the affair, with Phillipa telling the Mirror: ‘Jeremy and I are friends, I have worked with him, er, them (the Top Gear team) for years.’ And after being told that she had been seen leaving his hotel room, she replied: ‘What? I often stay in colleagues’ hotel rooms – that’s not unusual.’ For his part, Jeremy said: ‘I’m surprised to find that I’m the new Tiger Woods.’ Jeremy Clarkson enjoying a day by the beach along with Phillipa Sage in a Greek island while on holiday in 2013 .

A California woman who lied to her boyfriend about being pregnant concocted a sinister plot to kidnap two babies and pass them off as her own — a scheme that ended with the murder of a 3-week-old girl, police revealed today. Giseleangelique Rene D'Milian, 47, of Thousand Oaks, followed a young mother she saw boarding a bus in Long Beach with the baby girl and later tried to have an acquaintance killed in a botched attempt to steal her son, authorities said Wednesday. D'Milian and Anthony McCall, 29, of Vista, were arrested Wednesday on suspicion of murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy. Todd Boudreaux, 44, of Fontana, and D'Milian's daughter Charisse Shelton, 30, of Corona, were arrested on suspicion of being accessories after the fact. Scroll down for video .

Ignoble resting place: Baby Eliza was discovered inside a trash container in Imperial City, California, January 4, after her kidnapper snatched her from her parents' home and shot her mother and uncle . Road trip: The gunman drove for 120 miles from Long Beach, where the three people were shot, to Imperial Beach on the Mexican border, where Eliza's body was found . The suspects were expected to make their first court appearance Friday. It wasn't clear whether they had retained attorneys yet or would request a public defender. 'In my notes, I had the word "evil" several times, and my staff told me to take it out but I can't summarize it any other way,' Police Chief Robert Luna said at an afternoon news conference. 'We intend to get a full prosecution and I hope that they .get hammered for this,'he said. 'This is just unbelievable.' The plot began when D'Milian, a self-styled 'mediation expert' and 'business coach,' falsely told her married boyfriend that she had given birth to his twins, a boy and girl, last December while she was out of the country, Luna said. 'In order to continue with this deception, she needed to produce two children who matched the ages of her fabricated twins,' the chief said. The first effort January 3 had D'Milian and McCall using separate cars to follow the mother of a young girl who boarded a public bus in Long Beach, Luna said. When the woman got off the bus and began to walk home, D'Milian stopped her Range Rover and briefly talked to the woman about her child, Luna said.

Grieving relatives of the two Australians killed when a Germanwings Airbus was flown into a mountain in the French Alps are preparing for an 'unbearably' sad day when they visit the crash site early next week. Relatives of Carol Friday, 68, and her 29-year-old son Greig, both from Melbourne, are en route to Germany this weekend. This comes as tributes continue to flow for the two Australians killed when Germanwings flight 4U 9525 lost altitude and crashed into a remote region of the French Alps. The mother and son were killed when the passenger jet, en route from Barcelona, Spain, to Dusseldorf, northern Germany, came down early in the 90-minute flight on Tuesday. New photos of the 29-year-old have since emerged, showing him as a political activist who campaigned for equality. Scroll down for videos . Carol Friday and her son Greig, both from Victoria, were killed when the passenger jet, enroute from Barcelona, Spain, to Dusseldorf, northern Germany, came down early in the 90-minute flight . Greig, who was to turn 30 on April 23, was a mechanical engineer who studied at Melbourne's Monash University and worked for Jacobs Engineering . Relatives of the mother and son are expected to fly to France on Monday and travel by road to Seyne-les-Alpes near the crash site. 'We are expecting the family to visit the site early next week, probably on Monday,' said Australia's ambassador in Paris, Stephen Brady. 'We hope that provides a small degree of solace.' Carol Friday's brother, Mal Coram, will represent the family in Seyne along with his two daughters, Georgie and Pippa. The Melbourne nurse's husband, Dave, and the couple's daughter, Alex, aren't travelling to France. The Corams will pay their respects at a newly erected memorial for the victims. Fairfax Media has reported they'll leave tributes from other family and friends including poems, photos and reminders of the Australian bush that Carol and Greig loved. 'I think that's a very beautiful gesture,' Mr Brady said on Friday. 'We'll do everything we can to make an unbearable day a little easier for them.' A statement from the Friday family said Greig was 'a man who loved others and life with a full heart' Australia's consul-general from Paris will be on hand to help the relatives in southern France. Specialists are combing the wreckage for body parts and DNA samples that will enable them to identify the 150 people who died in Tuesday's crash that was apparently deliberately initiated by co-pilot Andreas Lubitz. Prosecutors have revealed the German hid a serious illness from the airline amid reports he was severely depressed. Mr Brady on Friday thanked the French government for its handling of the disaster. 'I have nothing but praise for the swiftness and comprehensiveness of the French government's response,' the ambassador said. 'Despite not suffering any losses themselves the French have not stinted in providing a superb response to this tragic event.' France was rocked by the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack in January and is now coping with what appears to be one of Europe's worst peacetime massacres

Sam Allardyce admits he was wrong to claim Winston Reid had been tapped up after the West Ham defender finally penned a fresh contract with the club. Talks between the Hammers and Reid had been ongoing for several months, with reported interest from the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal leaving many West Ham supporters on tenterhooks over the future of their New Zealand international. Allardyce said in January that it was 'highly unlikely' Reid had not already verbally agreed to leave Upton Park given that he was yet to sign a new contract and went on to suggest earlier this month that he needed to rope in the questioning techniques of Jack Bauer from television's '24' to get an answer out of the player. Winston Reid signed a new six-and-a-half year deal West Ham last week after it appeared he would leave . Sam Allardyce had said it was unlikely that Reid had not verbally agreed to join another club . But the 26-year-old, who will miss Saturday's trip to Arsenal through injury, has now signed a six-and-a-half-year contract to keep him tied down to the east London outfit - with Allardyce quick to admit he had misread the situation. 'I was wrong, so I admit that,' he said when asked if he was surprised to see Reid sign a new deal having questioned whether he had been tapped up. 'For me, if somebody's out of contract like that it would have all been done and dusted by the end of the season, even though it might not have been done and dusted from a paperwork point of view. 'His agent would have sorted out a deal somewhere or other in this country. I was probably more concerned about abroad because it could have been a pre-contract. The central defender had been linked with the likes of Tottenham and Arsenal before penning new contract . 'One of the bigger clubs in Europe could have seen what Winston has done here and said "he's the one for us" and taken him abroad so I was obviously wrong.' Allardyce believes a strong showing for West Ham this season would have helped convince Reid to stay put - insisting no club bigger than the Hammers had looked like making a move for his signature. 'It was the longest negotiation ever,' he added. 'I think that in the end both parties are very, very pleased with the outcome. I think the big pull for Winston signing this time around is that we've had a good season up until now that we need to finish off as strong as we can. Reid fights for the ball with Tottenham striker Harry Kane during the recent match at White Hart Lane . '(We are) moving to the Olympic Stadium in 2016, so where else is he going to get bigger than West Ham United? 'Probably because nobody of a greater status than West Ham has actually taken up his position, he signs up with us, which we're both delighted about. 'Winston has now been in that position for

Summary: Winston Reid signed new six-and-a-half year deal with West Ham last week . New Zealand international looked set to leave the club for free in summer . Allardyce had said it was unlikely Reid hadn't agreed to join another club . But the West Ham boss has now admitted he was wrong to suggest that .


Targeted? Patrick Sensburg (above), the head of Germany's spying inquiry, claims his own encrypted mobile phone may have been hacked . The head of a German inquiry into foreign spying believes his own mobile phone may have been hacked, it has been reported. Patrick Sensburg is chairman of a committee set up last year over claims the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) had listened in to Angela Merkel's phone calls. Mr Sensburg and other political figures had been issued with encrypted mobile phones that were said to be watertight against any hacking attempt. He is reported to have sent his phone to Germany's IT security service in a lead-lined sealed container by German courier company DHL to be examined. But when it arrived at the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the package had been opened and tampered with, according to the Daily Telegraph which cited a report by Welt newspaper. The BSI is now examining the phone. If proven to be the case, it could have potentially damaging repercussions for relations between Germany and UK, which has already expressed concerns about the investigation. It was reported last month that the UK government had threatened to end its co-operation with German intelligence agencies if members of the inquiry were given access to classified information. This threat was neither confirmed or denied by the UK, but a Whitehall source said the government was 'working closely with the German government to engage with the parliamentary inquiry'. The German government has since been seeking a compromise that would only allow Mr Sensburg to see that data which he would then relay to the other members, German media reported. Any apparent breach to Mr Sensburg's security would most likely scupper what is already a fragile compromise. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden claimed in October that the U.S. security service had been listening in on the calls of up to 35 prominent allies, including France and Germany. Eavesdropping: The German Parliamentary inquiry was set up last year over claims the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) had listened in to Angela Merkel's phone calls . That lead to claims Angela Merkel's personal mobile phone was tapped and caused the German Chancellor to demand answers from the U.S. government. While American authorities never acknowledged whether spying took place, Barack Obama was forced to offer Mrs Merkel an apology. Then in December it was reported that Mrs Merkel had also fallen victim to hacking after a sophisticated computer virus was discovered on the USB drive of one of her aides. The Reign virus, which is believed to have been developed by U.S. and British spying agencies, was detected after one of Mrs Merkel's employees plugged her personal drive into a work laptop. The woman, who works in close contact with Mrs Merkel, had loaded a speech she was editing on to the drive, took it home to continue working on it, before returning to the office. It is also not known what, if any, information was taken. Reign allows users to take pictures of a computer screen, take control of the

Summary: Patrick Sensburg heads committee set up to investigate foreign spying . Set up over claims U.S. spies had listened in to Angela Merkel's calls . Mr Sensburg sent encrypted phone to IT specialists in lead-lined package . But when it arrived, the container 'had been opened and tampered with'

A Virginia mother shot an intruder to protect her two-year-old daughter after he broke into her family home. Allie (pictured right with her two-year-old daughter, left), who has not given her full name, is the wife of a James City County officer and said the incident happened on Wednesday around 10.30pm, an hour after her husband left for work . After the man, 25, broke through a window in her daughter's playroom, on instinct she grabbed her gun and fired two shots, injuring him (above her family home where the break in occurred) The man, who has not been identified, is recovering in hospital with life-threatening injuries, and could face a burglary charge once out, according to WTKR. Allie, who was trained by her husband on what to do during this type of incident, said the man started banging on her door and messing with the door knob while screaming things as he tried to get in. She said: 'He was screaming like, 'Let me in baby, we are okay let me in, they are out to kill me,' I looked through the peephole and I didn't recognize who it was, so I latched the top lock, ran to the back, called 911 and got my gun.' While she went to a back room to retrieve her gun, she heard a crash as the man broke into the playroom, an area where her child was only 30 minutes before the incident. She had only recently put her child to bed. 'She could have been in here playing and he could have busted in and fell on her or anything,' she said. 'All I knew is I wanted to stop him from hurting me or hurting my daughter.'

Snacking on unhealthy food should be viewed in the same way as smoking indoors, a leading anti-obesity expert has today claimed (file image) All meals should be served with vegetables, snacking should be socially unacceptable and a fizzy drinks tax must be introduced if the obesity epidemic is to be tackled, an expert said today. The Government's anti-obesity adviser said she wants food policy to be subjected to the same tough regulations as the tobacco industry. Professor Susan Jebb, from Oxford University, said social norms are 'terribly important', and as such, grazing on unhealthy snacks should be frowned upon. Poor diet is a leading cause of premature death in the UK, accounting for 12.5 per cent of the total burden of disease, primarily due to cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Two thirds of adults are overweight or obese as a result of overeating. In total obesity is linked to around 20 per cent of all ill health in the country, with 33,000 avoidable, early deaths a year, as a result. Preventing these avoidable diseases should be the Government's focus, if the health service is to become more sustainable, Professor Jebb is expected to say tomorrow at the annual Oxford London Lecture. The components of a healthy diet, consuming less saturated fat, sugar and salt while instead eating more fibre, fruit and vegetables, are well known. But to tackle the complex issues which have resulted in the rising tide of obesity in the UK, tougher measures are needed. Professor Jebb, is expected to call for a tax on fizzy drinks to help tackle the issue. Weight loss expert Steve Miller said 'gentle, politically correct' strategies have failed to encourage people to lose weight. Instead he said 'constructive fat shaming', and 'shock tactics' are the only way to help people realise they need to shed pounds. He said: 'As a weight loss specialist I advocate shock tactics including strong restaurant warning signs that read "if you are fat, think before ordering". 'Passengers on a plane should also pay for two seats if they are too fat, and irresponsible parents feeding their fat kids junk should be prosecuted. 'In addition assistants in fast food chains should refuse to serve dangerously fat customers. 'The NHS needs to offer alternative solutions including hypnosis. 'Shock tactics drives motivation high. Faffing about talking about food choices will no longer achieve the results we all want to see.' Professor Jebb, told The Times: 'When I was small, eating or drinking on the street was really, really bad form. 'The other norm I worry about is around vegetable eating, because in our house it would be inconceivable if a meal didn't come with vegetables... yet you go and have a meal out and often it will come without vegetables, you will have to buy those separately.' Professor Susan Jebb, from Oxford University, is calling for a tax on fizzy drinks, which have no nutritional value but rot teeth, to start a series of new, tougher measures, to change the way society perceives unhealthy food and drink. She said: 'It sends out

Summary: Government anti-obesity adviser calls for taxation on fizzy drinks . Professor Susan Jebb says snacking on unhealthy food and meals served without vegetables should be viewed in the same way as smoking indoors . Said social norms are 'terribly important' and championed structured meals over grazing, where it is harder to know how much you eat .


A onetime producer of the reality show 'Survivor' was convicted in Mexico Thursday of murdering his wife during a 2010 Cancun beach vacation. Bruce Beresford-Redman, 43, was found guilty and then sentenced to 12 years in prison by Judge Víctor Manuel Echeverria Tun, Quintana Roo state prosecutor Gaspar Armando Garcia Torres said. Juanita Beresford-Redman, Bruce's mother, said her son was also ordered to pay a fine of 43,000 pesos, which is equivalent to $2,800. The former producer was on vacation in Cancun with his wife, Monica Burgos Beresford-Redman, and their two children in 2010 when her body was found dumped in a sewer cistern at the resort where they were staying.

Guilty as charged: Former 'Survivor' producer Bruce Beresford-Redman (left) has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for the murder of his wife, Monica Burgos Beresford-Redman (right), during a 2010 Cancun vacation . Murder in paradise: Monica Burgos Beresford-Redman's battered body was found dumped in a sewer cistern at the luxurious Moon Palace Resort in Cancun . Rocky relationship: Monica learned her husband had cheated on her, and the beach vacation was supposed to be an attempt to mend their marriage . The vacation was supposed to be an attempt to repair their troubled marriage after she learned her husband had cheated on her. The family of Burgos issued a statement through their lawyer, Alison Triessl, late Thursday. 'It has been nearly 5 years since they lost their beloved sister,' Triessl said. 'Not a day goes by that they don't miss her terribly and nothing will bring her back, but they can finally say that she has received the justice she deserved.' 'We are appalled and disgusted with this gross miscarriage of justice. Over an exhausting three and a half year period this trial has done nothing but prove Bruce’s innocence beyond any doubt. Whatever lies behind this ruling it is based on neither facts nor evidence. This is a disservice to Monica’s memory; this is not the justice she and Bruce still deserve and that we continue to demand. At some point, even in Mexico, Bruce’s innocence will lead to his freedom. We will immediately appeal this absurd decision and will not rest until Bruce is exonerated and returned home. This decision must lead to a reconsideration of the extradition treaty between the United States and Mexico as it is clear that Mexico cannot meet even minimal standards of justice. We remain ever grateful to all those who continue to support Bruce.' Beresford-Redman's family also released a statement in response to the outcome of the trial, strongly condemning what they described as a 'gross miscarriage of justice.' 'This is a disservice to Monica’s memory; this is not the justice she and Bruce still deserve and that we continue to demand,' read the statement posted on a Facebook page dedicated to Beresford-Redman's case. The family plan to appeal the guilty verdict as soon as possible. Beresford-Redman maintained his innocence, but in 2011 a US court upheld his extradition. In 2012, State Department officials signed a warrant

An eventful first day at the Arnold Palmer Invitational saw Rory McIlroy come close to achieving something that hadn’t been witnessed at Bay Hill for 20 years while Ian Poulter cheered up his sick three year old son Joshua with a fine opening round of 67. Poulter’s preparations for his final tournament before the Masters were hardly ideal. While driving home from the course on Wednesday, Joshua was being taken to a nearby hospital with what turned out to be a bout of pneumonia. It was past midnight before he was allowed home. ‘It was certainly something of a blessing that I had a late tee-time,’ said the Englishman, who posted five birdies in a round that left him just a stroke off the pace set by American Morgan Hoffman. Rory McIlroy waits on the first green during the first round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club . Ian Poulter hits his tee shot on the 18th hole during the first round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational . Poulter’s in good form at present, and having thrown away a golden opportunity to win one event in Florida at the Honda Classic three weeks ago, will be keen to give himself a chance to atone at this venue where he finished third in 2013. ‘It was nice to get Joshua home on Wednesday night and my wife Katie is a trained nurse, so I knew he was in good hands when I left for the course this morning,’ he said. After 15 holes of his opening round, a small slice of history loomed for McIlroy, just three weeks shy of his attempt at a career grand slam at the Masters. The world number one was swinging so smoothly he had hit all 15 greens in regulation. Not once in any round in his PGA Tour career has he hit all 18. No-one had done so at Bay Hill since 1995. Poulter hits an approach shot on the 16th hole during the first round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational . McIlroy hits an approach shot on the first hole during the first round at the Bay Hill Club and Lodge . Next up was the easiest hole on the course, the par five 16th. Yet it was here the 25 year old contrived to undo all the good work that had gone before. As soon as his second shot left the club face he started laughing at himself in exasperated fashion. He knew what was coming next. The ball bounced on the bank at the front of the green and back into one of the course’s many water hazards. There ended any hope of hitting all 18 greens in regulation. At least on the positive side, there were obviously plenty of excellent blows in those first 15 holes, and the reason he was only two under par at the time was he couldn’t buy a putt, which wouldn’t have stressed him unduly given the shocking state of the Bay Hill greens. Suffice to say that they’re nearer to municipal course standards

Summary: Rory McIlroy was swinging so smoothly he hit all 15 greens in regulation . But the world No 1 messed up the easiest hole on the course, the 16th . Ian Poulter’s Masters preparations were hardly ideal as his son fell ill . Joshua was taken to a hospital with what turned out to be pneumonia .


Liban Mohamed is currently in Somali custody after being named to the list of the FBI's most-wanted . A U.S. law enforcement official says a former taxi driver from northern Virginia included on the FBI's list of most-wanted terrorists has been detained in Somalia. The official said 29-year-old Liban Mohamed is currently in Somali custody. He would not describe what efforts would be made to bring Mohamed to the United States for trial. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he said he is not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation. Mohamed is charged with providing material support to al-Qaeda and al-Shabab and is one of about 30 people on the terrorist list. 'Al Shabaab has claimed responsibility for many bombings in Somalia and Uganda and the 2013 attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya,' said Carl Ghattas, an agent in charge of the Counterterrorism Division at the time of his inclusion on the most-wanted list. The FBI believes he left the U.S. in 2012. He was placed on the list about a month ago. Mohamed was formerly a cabdriver, The Washington Post reports, and is suspected of having helped in operations in al-Shabab as well as recruiting new members. Anonymous sources told the press he was well-versed regarding potential targets in Washington. 'While living in Northern Virginia, Mohamed was a recruiter and radicalizer for al Shabaab, which historically has targeted Westerners to go to Somalia and fight for them,' Ghattas said. 'Not only did Mohamed choose to go to Somalia and fight with al Shabaab, he took a prominent role in trying to recruit people and have them train with weapons.' The former cab driver was said to have knowledge of several potential targets in Washington . He added: 'It is important for us to locate Mohamed because he has knowledge of the Washington, D.C. area’s infrastructure such as shopping areas, Metro, airports, and government buildings. This makes him an asset to his terrorist associates who might plot attacks on U.S. soil.' A $50,000 reward was put out for information leading to his capture. Attorney Gadeir Abbas has represented Mohamed's family on separate matters. He declined to comment. While the U.S. has no extradition treaty with Somalia efforts are underway to bring Mohamed back to Virginia.

Summary: 29-year-old Liban Mohamed is currently in Somali custody . Though there is no extradition agreement between the two countries, U.S. officials are working to find a way to get him back on American soil . Said to be a key figure in terrorist groups, helping recruitment efforts and having knowledge of potential targets in Washington .


Air China flight attendants have been accused of being ‘sloppy and careless’ after a plane was photographed in flight with its door not properly locked. The photo of the Boeing 737-800 was snapped this month at Beijing Capital International Airport and went viral after it was uploaded onto Chinese social media networks. It showed the door’s lock out of position while the plane was in the air at China’s busiest airport, drawing criticism from air safety experts. This photo showing a plane door's lock out of position went viral on Chinese social media networks . Air safety expert Guang Yu told local media: ‘It is probably not dangerous because there are various safety measures in place but it shows an extremely sloppy and careless attitude on behalf of the cabin crew.’ Chinese state media agency Xinhua quoted an Air China spokesman as saying that the airline conducted a thorough investigation, including interviews with the plane’s crew and other staff, after the photo surfaced online. It said the investigation found that the lock was in the ‘normal’ position when the flight took off. A Boeing specialist quoted by Chinese state media said that human error or a mechanical problem with the lock could result in an external lock being out of position. Air China said an investigation found that the lock was in the proper position when the flight departed . The expert added that a mechanical problem would not affect flight safety because of another locking system operated from within the cabin. The report also said that it appeared to be a case of mechanical failure. The photo sparked debate on Chinese social media website Weibo, and was shared after several incidents involving Chinese passengers opening plane doors before take-off or after landing. Last week a 42-year-old Chinese man was detained for 10 days after he opened an emergency exit shortly before a Urumqi Airlines plane was due to take off. The man told authorities that he thought the door handle was a handrail that he could grab onto for support, ‘like the handrail on a bus’. A Urumqi Airlines flight was delayed last week after a passenger opened the emergency exit . He was removed by police and detained for causing a disruption for others on board the plane, which was travelling from Urumqi to Zhengzhou. That 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 January, angry passengers opened emergency exit doors on a China Eastern flight in Chengdu . 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

Summary: Air China said it conducted an investigation after the photo surfaced . It said that the lock was in the 'normal' position during take-off . Photo sparked debate on Chinese social media after recent incidents . Passengers have opened emergency exits on at least five occasions .


A teenager who revealed that his father slammed his coming out as 'worse than death' in horrific online messages told Daily Mail Online on Monday that he had not spoken to him since the exchange. Tyler, 15, received an outpouring of support globally after he uploaded two photos of his Facebook conversation with his father - which took place last December - to his Tumblr account. In the messages, his father apparently wrote that the news his son is gay is an 'embarrassment', he has been left 'shamed' and 'ridiculed' and he feels like he is 'going to puke'. Tyler revealed to Daily Mail Online that he has not seen his dad for three months - and has even moved out of his family's home in Vancouver, Canada, to his aunt's house, also in the city.

He added: 'I visit my mom and sisters whenever my dad is at work.' The teenager said he had known he was gay 'since fifth grade', but had been worried about coming out publicly - particularly because his relationship with his father had been 'rocky for a long time'.

Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is quite a mouthful. Which is why locals refer to this region of lakes, castles, and beaches in the North-east of Germany as MV, or Meck-Pom. The Pom refers to Pomerania, now mostly in Poland. It has a long coastline on the Baltic and is the third largest of Germany's 16 Laender - but the least populated. So you can walk for miles on a sandy strand or drive all day on the autobahn and not see a sausage, except in your lunch. Back in focus: 'Meck-Pom' offers blissful beaches along Germany's Baltic Sea coastline . After World War II, Meck-Pom was part of Communist East Germany, which might account for its low profile. The regime concentrated on the cities and neglected the countryside, so castles and seaside resorts deteriorated. Since reunification 25 years ago, all that has changed. The result is a clutch of wonderful hotels and beautifully-run resorts. The sea accounts for the region's ancient wealth and the cities along the coast - Wismar, Rostock, Stralsund and Greifswald - were part of the 13th-century trading confederation, the Hanseatic League, which did business with Scandinavians and Slavs around the Baltic. Two of the cities, Wismar and Stralsund, are World Heritage Sites. Towering medieval cathedrals and customs houses on market squares as big as football pitches are built of ancient revolutionary red-brick, moulded and baked from the sodden clay. The harbour has bars, cafes and shops for windsurfers, anglers and bucket-and-spaders. On the road, go-kart tracks and wildlife parks fill gaps between the farms and forests. A day's fishing off a boat costs €39 (£27), including lunch from a stewpot. At the beach resorts of Boltenhagen and Warnemunde, holidaymakers on hire bikes (£6.50 a day) pedal through pine-filled parks to the sea-front. A steam train called Molli plies a coastal route to Heiligendamm, location of the five-star Grand Hotel. It has a sanatorium, a Michelin-star chef, a castle (for weddings) and a children's house with games. Quietly charming: The pretty Alte Markt square in Stralsund sums up the region's appeal . Meck-Pom is a refuge in peace and war. Forewarned of the Allied bombing, citizens of Hamburg, Berlin and Dresden fled here. 'The castles were full of refugees,' says Freiherr Helmuth von Maltzahn, proprietor of 16th-century Schloss Ulrichshusen, which his ancestor Ulrich built among the inland lakes. Helmuth, born in 1949, bought back his burnt-out family home and turned it into a 40-room hotel. At sunset, cranes fly over the lakes in their thousands in what looks, for a moment, like an intricate, interweaving MV-formation. British Airways (0844 493 0787, www.ba.com) flies to Hamburg from £79 return. Double rooms at the Grand Hotel Heiligendamm (www.grandhotel-heiligendamm.de/en) cost from £136, on a B&B basis.

Summary: Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is one of the less known of Germany's 16 states . It was trapped behind the Iron Curtain after the country split into two parts . Twenty-five years after reunification, it is an enclave of beach and resorts .


A Sydney theatre has apologised after refusing a young Jewish theatre group’s request to use its venue in an alleged act of discrimination. The Jewish group, Hillel is a not-for-profit educational and cultural organisation which aims to ‘inspire university-aged young adults to engage with Jewish life’ and become future leaders. The group are planning a series of performances about survivors of the holocaust and were in search of a venue. When Hillel made an application to perform at The Red Rattler Theatre in Sydney’s inner west, they were shocked at the email they received in response. ‘Our policy does not support colonialism/Zionism. Therefore we do not host groups that support the colonisation and occupation of Palestine,’ the Marrickville Theatre group responded curtly. Assistant director Shailee Mendelvich was confounded when she received the rejection email from The Red Rattler Theatre group .

Members of the youth group could not believe that they were being rejected, allegedly due to their religious beliefs. Assistant director Shailee Mendelvich was confounded when she received the rejection email from The Red Rattler Theatre group. ‘I was shocked and disappointed because I believe that denying a Jewish group the right to make a commercial booking is clearly racial discrimination and, in this case, Antisemitism,’ Ms Mendelvich told Daily Mail Australia . Ms Mendelvich was particularly troubled by the rejection as The Red Rattler Theatre are also a not-for-profit, artist-run company which purports to have ‘community at heart’. The Jewish group, Hillel is a not-for-profit educational and cultural organisation which aims to ‘inspire university-aged young adults to engage with Jewish life’ and become future leaders . The NSW Jewish Board of Deputies chief executive Vic Alhadeff have written to the theatre to express his concern that Hillel have been discriminated ‘based on conflicts taking place far away from Australia' Members of the youth group could not believe that the rejection allegedly due to their religious beliefs . On their website, the Red Rattler claim that the theatre ‘was set up as a space where racism, homophobia, transphobia and sexism are not welcome on stage, in the audience, at the door, and at the bar' The theatre issued a statement later Monday saying it was sorry for the email that refused the youth group's request.'The Red Rattler apologises for the email that was sent to Hillel. It does nit reflect the values of the community Board of the Red Rattler Theatre Inc,' the statement said. 'The Red Rattler condemns racism of any kind.' The theatre said it actively encouraged cultural diversity. 'In effort to further the conversation we have directly contacted Hillel to discuss the situation in the hope of obtaining a positive outcome.' the statement

Yesterday, the Mail published a poignant photograph of actress Angelina Jolie's family, showing how cancer has claimed the lives of many of her relatives, including her mother, aunt and grandmother. Her mother, the actress Marcheline Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer at the age of 56 in 2007. Her grandmother Lois Bertrand died of cancer aged 45 and her aunt Debbie - her mother's sister - lost her battle with the disease at 61. This strong family history comes from a mutation of the BRCA1 gene, which dramatically raises the risk of ovarian and breast cancer. Scroll down for video . Angelina revealed she's had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed, after a preventative double mastectomy . To prevent herself following in the footsteps of her female relatives, Angelina last week revealed she's had her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed (she had a 50 per cent risk of developing ovarian cancer). This comes two years after a preventative double mastectomy because of her raised risk of breast cancer. But while many people know that a greater risk of developing these cancers can be inherited, what is less well known is that it's not just down the female line; the risk can be passed on from your father's side of the family, too. Catherine Murley, a 44-year-old commercial manager from Rugby, inherited a high risk of breast and ovarian cancer from her father as result of a faulty BRCA1 gene. 'I never knew you could inherit a breast and ovarian cancer gene from a male relative,' she says. She only became aware of the faulty BRCA1 gene in her family tree last June, after suddenly hearing from her father Mike, 68, a retired teacher, after years of little contact. 'I received a text from my dad saying: "Can we talk?" ' she says. Her parents divorced when she was four and her mother brought her up with her sister Sinead, 40, and brother Andrew, 39. 'When I phoned my dad that evening, he explained that my cousin - his sister's daughter - had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and the family had found out she had the inherited faulty BRCA1 gene,' she says. Catherine Murley inherited the ovarian cancer gene from her father . 'My aunt - her mother - had died of ovarian cancer when she was in her 40s. After my cousin was diagnosed at the age of 40, the rest of that side of my dad's family went for genetic testing. 'That's when my dad was found to be positive for the faulty gene.' Catherine's father was told this meant he had a raised risk of prostate cancer and male breast cancer, and a slightly higher chance of pancreatic cancer. He was concerned that the faulty gene could have been passed to his children. 'I was aware of the BRCA1 connection because I had a close friend with it who died from breast cancer,' says Catherine. 'But I assumed it was something related to women and didn't know it could be passed by men, too.' It's a common misconception, says Dr

Summary: Catherine Murley, 44, from Rugby, inherited BRCA1 gene from her dad . She then had a mastectomy and her ovaries and fallopian tubes removed . Angelina last week revealed she's had the same surgeries .


This is the comical letter that a schoolboy penned to his teacher after being told off for talking during a German lesson. Rather than being apologetic and remorseful the defiant 13-year-old brazenly tells his language master, 'I am not sorry.'

'I need to write to that line down there but I have nothing else to say for myself so I'll just tell you I had chips for lunch yesterday.' The cheeky chap's father said: 'He does hate German. I had no idea that he had written this letter and this is all news to me. 'I turned around and talked to ****** for a few seconds. I was not talking constantly. Also, everyone else was talking too and I got this work for speaking to ****** for a second. 'I don't think it's fair and I'm not sorry.. I already done the work. I do not enjoy German.

The robbery of a South African news team has sent shock waves through the country after the brazen muggers were filmed on the crew's camera stealing their equipment at gunpoint. Vuyo Mvoko, a contributing editor for SABC News, was preparing for a 7pm live report outside Johannesburg's Milpark Hospital when the incident occurred. Footage of the robbery shows him standing under lights and in front of the camera, while two men can be seen walking past in the background. Scroll down for video . Presenter Vuyo Mvoko can be seen preparing himself for a live cross when one of the men (far right) approaches from behind . After he is disrupted, two men in full view of the camera begin taking the new crew's valuables . At first he ignores them, but when they double back claiming to have a gun, Mr Mvoko's live cross is disrupted. The men can then be seen demanding Mr Mvoko's mobile phone before also taking a collection of the crew's possessions and their work laptop. In a later interview with a SABC News host, Mr Mvoko said they had spotted his phone, which was still in his hand after just having spoken to his producer in anticipation of going live on the news bulletin. He added: 'So I gave him the phone, then I think they took about two or three phones. And the laptop we were using to do the (live) crossing. Then they just disappeared.'

Despite driving around the area in an attempt to find the men responsible, they were unable to locate them and a case of robbery and theft was opened. The South African National Editors' Forum appealed to anyone who recognized the assailants from the video footage to alert police to their identities. 'Every South African lives with the reality of crime, but to see thugs brazenly ignoring television cameras and robbing media workers in the course of their work, yet again brings home the level of criminality in our society,' the editors' group said in a statement. Mr Mvoko was reporting from outside the following reports that Zambian President Edgar Lungu was being treated there after traveling to South Africa for medical care.
