In each five-minute episode, the first of which was aired in 1962, Shaw would present details of real crimes and appeal to members of the public to help solve them. The programme often yielded successful results. In 1986 he urged the public to help recover priceless medallions stolen from a 'distinguished lady' - who viewers were told was not the Queen - at Kew Palace, according to the Guardian. On another occasion, a burglar was arrested after the items he stole from a photographic college in Birmingham were shown on the programme. And in a 1985 episode of the show, the presenter was seen hunting through items at a Teddington Police Station as he tried to find property that had been stolen from his flat. He later presented a spin-off show called Junior Police 5, which was also known as JP5. The TV presenter was awarded an MBE in 1985. The presenter announced his semi-retirement in 1992 after the franchise was won by Meridian Broadcasting and retired to the Isle of Wight. Last year, then aged 89, Mr Taylor returned to British screens when Channel 5 revived the show with new presenters. He appeared on each programme for a short segment, reuniting with victims of theft with their property.

Duwayne Henry selected his victims using an online escort agency and lured them to his flat in Hackney, east London, where they were threatened with knives and repeatedly raped.

Henry was jailed for life with a minimum sentence of 12 and a half years at Blackfriars Crown Court yesterday. The 34-year-old targeted at least three prostitutes during his 14-month spree, believing their trade meant they were less likely to report his crimes, police said. In the first known assault, which took place in early 2013, Henry repeatedly raped his victim in a brutal three-hour attack before taking a photo of the woman's driving licence. He told her he would use the details to find her and kill her if she went to the police. In the second known attack, in April 2013, Henry gagged the victim with duct-tape before and raped her at knife-point. He then forced her to wash his bedsheets before raping her again on the floor. His final attack took place in February 2014, when Henry booked an escort to meet him outside the flats where he lived. He held a knife to his victim's eye and led her to his bedroom, described by police as a 'torture chamber', where he had laid out a circular saw, seven knives and a hedge trimmer. One of these items was plugged into the mains. As soon as she entered the room, Henry held a knife to the woman's eye. He pushed her over and told her she was going to die. The woman was gagged, tied up, and raped. The rapist was interrupted when a man, alerted by the woman's screams, appeared in the doorway of Henry's bedroom. He untied the woman, who phoned the police. 'Torture chamber': Henry selected his victims using an online escort agency before luring them to his flat in Hackney, east London, pictured.

Introducing themselves at the start of the video, the four men from Toronto explain that they intend to 'quit' their jobs as pretend workers at the computer company. Kyle Forgeard, 20, Jesse Sebastiani, 21, Niko Martinovic, 25 and Marko Martinovic, also 25, are shown speaking to shoppers and giving them advice on the products they are looking to buy. The four pranksters fooled customers after dressing up as Apple Store employees at a Toronto mall . Jesse appears on screen first, where he is approached by a man enquiring about purchasing a new iPhone. After a short discussion, in which the prankster does his best to be as unhelpful as possible, the man turns to leave the shop empty handed. Next to feature in the video is Kyle who is asked a rather technical question regarding an iPad Air. After a little conversation, in which the prankster again chooses to ignore the question, a real employee approaches and asks for the imposter’s name. He says: ‘Sorry, do you even work here,’ before adding: ‘I have never seen you before.’ The pranksters promoted other companies' products when they were questioned about Apple devices . Each prankster drew the attention of customers as they 'quit' their jobs and stormed out of the store . A little discussion ensues, which involves the real employee appearing to call for a manager, until the prankster announces to the room: ‘You know what? Nobody even knows who I am here. I have been here three shifts, I quit.’ Later in the video another prankster is caught talking to a customer and is again approached by a real employee. Interrupting him mid-flow, the man announces to the customer: ‘He doesn’t actually work here,’ to which the prankster retorts that he has done so for the last three months. Eventually he leaves in the same animated way as the previous imposter, with a fellow prankster making his way out of the shop with him.

'Monster': Convicted child killer Osvaldo Rivera, 34, Osvaldo Rivera, 34, has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 2-year-old boy . A southern New Jersey man who is in prison for killing a 6-year-old boy has admitted sexually assaulting a 2-year-old in a separate case. Osvaldo Rivera, 34, pleaded guilty to sexual assault Monday. Under terms of the plea deal, Rivera faces 15 years in prison to be served concurrently with the 110-year sentence he is already facing after a jury found him guilty of the murder of 6-year-old Dominick Andujar and the sexual assault of that boy's 12-year-old sister, Amber in September 2012. The sexual assault of the younger child, a 2-year-old boy, was the month before that. The Camden County Prosecutor's Office said DNA evidence submitted to a state database helped link Rivera to the crime. Rivera is scheduled to be sentenced in the toddler assault case April 17. 'Rivera had to be held accountable for the crime he committed against this toddler, regardless of having been previously sentenced to life in prison in another case,' Assistant Prosecutor Christine Shah told Philadelphia Inquirer. In July 2014, a Camden jury found Osvaldo Rivera guilty of the murder of Dominick Andujar, as well as charges of attempted murder, aggravated sexual assault, burglary and weapons violations.

More than 50 former female staff at a Wild-West-themed bar in in New York's Rockefeller Center have received payouts after being forced to work in a 'hyper-sexualized work environment' that 'degrad[ed] and humiliat[ed] its female employees', according to court records. According to a lawsuit filed at Manhattan Federal Court, women working at Johnny Utah's bar were required to remove wedding and engagement rings; wear 'sexually provocative', cowboy-style clothing; take part in bawdy drinking competitions with male customers, sit on their laps, and pour alcohol into their mouths; and kiss each other while riding a bucking mechanical bull. On one occasion, to mark Thanksgiving, women were even asked to wrestle in a pool of cranberry sauce, the New York Daily News reported. The level of the settlement is not known. Scroll down for video . Exploited: Female staff at Johnny Utah's bar in Manhattan's Rockefeller Center were allegedly forced to remove their shirts and kiss each other while riding a mechanical bull. There is no suggestion that the woman pictured is one of the plaintiffs . Total bull: The bar is famous for its mechanical bull, which has been at the centre of the sexual exploitation law suit. Female employees at Johnny Utah's were allegedly forced to dance for male customers and sit on their laps, wear sexy cowgirl outfits, and even wrestle in a pool of cranberry sauce . The working environment at the bar, the suit alleged, led to the women being subjected to 'pervasive and regular unwelcome sexual comments' and advances by customers and male staff. But those who complained were criticised for not being 'team players'. 'Managers frequently remind the female servers that they are expendable and tell them that '20 other women' are willing to take their job,' court papers said. According to the New York Daily News, female workers were also called 'ugly' or 'stupid' by male managers if they were not 'throwing the party' or looking 'attractive enough'. They were also forced to play drinking games with the manager of the bar and his friends, the suit says. The bar has also been accused of secretly recording titillating images of the women, and routinely posting them on Twitter, Facebook and its own website without their consent. '[Johnny Utah is] a hyper-sexualized work environment that increases the defendants profits by exploiting, degrading and humiliating its female employees,' said the court papers. 'Johnny Utah's is in business of selling food and alcohol to the public, not providing adult entertainment to heterosexual men.' Destiny Frye, one of the plaintiffs, was 19 when she began working at the bar as a hostess. Despite being under-age, she and others were allegedly ordered to drink before riding the bull. Much of the alleged abuse centred around Johnny Utah's famous mechanical bull, which once featured on the cartoon show Family Guy. Court papers say that women were urged by their bosses to 'take off their shirts' and 'kiss other female employees when they ride the bull together'. Embarrassing: Johnny Utah's mechanical bull is so notorious that it once featured on Fox Broadcasting company

Summary: The women were forced to remove wedding rings, sit on male customers' laps, and kiss each other while riding a mechanical bull, say court papers . On one occasion, some were asked to wrestle in a pool of cranberry sauce . Some were secretly filmed and the footage was put online without consent . Johnny Utah's bar, located in New York's Rockefeller Center, has settled with more than 50 former employees for an unspecified amount .

Captain Edwin Tritschler (pictured) is accused of forging the signature of a Lieutenant Commander on documents after being accused of bullying . A high-ranking officer in the Royal Navy 'deceitfully' forged the signature of a Lieutenant Commander who accused him of harassment and bullying to 'protect himself from future complaints', a court martial heard today. Captain Edwin Tritschler, 48, of Yeovilton in Somerset, is accused of forging the signature of Lieutenant Commander Christopher Bovill on documents to bring an end to the 'never-ending' list of complaints against him. He is accused of using a scanner and a computer to help forge Lt Cdr Bovill's signature on three separate documents. The court heard the forged documents were created by Tritschler to show the complaint department that he had given clear management advice to his junior. They also heard the pair had a 'difficult' relationship while they were both working on-board HMS Illustrious in July 2007, when it was based in New York. Captain Tritschler thought Lt Cdr Bovill's performance was 'substandard' while on board the Invincible-class aircraft carrier, Portsmouth Military Court Centre in Hampshire heard. Meanwhile, Lt Cdr Bovill believed Captain Tritschler to be 'abrupt', 'blunt' and accused him of being a 'bully'. Their feud resulted in Lt Cdr Bovill - who left his Major rank in the Army in 2006 to transfer to the Navy - pursuing the complaint service in the Royal Navy. Lt Cdr Bovill joined the Navy as senior air engineering officer and was working under Captain Tritschler, who was then a Commander. Captain Tritschler denies three counts of forgery. David Richards, prosecuting, said: 'The accused, Captain Tritschler, is a man of previous impeccable character. 'In 2007 and 2008 he was the head of air engineering on HMS Illustrious. In July 2007 the complainant, Lieutenant Commander Bovill, was transferred to HMS Illustrious, which was the first ship he had served on. 'It was clear the two men had a very difficult relationship. 'Captain Tritschler thought Bovill's performance was substandard. Bovill found Tritschler to be officious, abrupt and bullying. 'The disagreement between the two men resulted in Lt Cdr Bovill pursuing the complaint service. The pair had a 'difficult' relationship while they were working on HMS Illustrious (pictured) in 2007 . 'In February 2008 Lt Cdr Bovill submitted a complaint and a decision was reached but Lt Cdr Bovill was not happy and asked for it to be taken to the next level.' The court then heard Captain Tritschler allegedly forged Lt Cdr Bovill's signature on three separate documents. Mr Richards added: 'What the documents appear to show is regular manager advice from Captain Tritschler to Bovill and the documents bear signatures of both men. 'However, the signatures of Bovill were not put there by Bovill. Rather they are copied and forged, possibly using a scanner. 'There is no dispute that these signatures are forged. The dispute is whether Captain Tritschler is responsible for them. 'The prosecution's case is that Captain Tritschler only ever had the documents and the idea that someone else infiltrated them is fanciful. 'It was deliberate

Summary: Captain Edwin Tritschler, 48, is accused of three counts of forgery . He allegedly forged signature of an officer who accused him of bullying . Court heard he did it to 'protect himself from future complaints' Lieutenant Commander Christopher Bovill said Tritschler was 'blunt' Pair had 'difficult' relationship which led to Bovill complaining about him . Tritschler was head of engineering on board HMS Illustrious at the time .


When the Republic of Ireland team sheet for Martin O’Neill’s first competitive game against Georgia was released an hour or so before kick-off, one name stood out: Stephen Quinn. This was last September and the beginning of the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. It was the start of a new, bright, vibrant era under the inspirational Derry man. Hull City’s midfield dynamo felt like a peculiar addition. He had been around the block since his debut against the same opponents in 2013 but never started a match with points at stake. Midfielder Stephen Quinn is in the reckoning to line up against Poland on Sunday . This was O’Neill making his point and giving a player previously overlooked a chance to make his own point, too. Quinn provided energy and forward thinking alongside Glenn Whelan and James McCarthy in a three-man midfield. Being left-footed, he also brought balance to the centre of the park. He was given the ultimate compliment by the manager when he was rested for the 7-0 stroll at home to Gibraltar in October so he would be ready to help stifle Germany a few days later. When he failed to start any of the four Hull games between the 1-1 draw in Gelsenkirchen and the November date with Scotland, it was no surprise Quinn was left on the bench at Celtic Park before being introduced in the second half. And while his last start in the Premier League came on January 18, circumstances may dictate that he is in the reckoning to line out against Poland on Sunday. Jeff Hendrick has been unable to join up with the squad at all through injury while Darron Gibson returned to Everton on Wednesday because of his groin complaint. Quinn, though, isn’t feeling as if he’s a shoo-in to step back into the starting XI. ‘I don’t think you can ever [think like that], there are lads who have been here a long time and you can never rest on your laurels. You have to come back and show the manager you’re willing and able, and are still working hard for a place,’ he insisted. Quinn made his last start in the Premier League on January 18 . ‘No one is guaranteed a starting spot, the squad is stronger than ever with some great additions and the manager will have some headaches.’ Poland may be the group leaders having set the cat amongst the pigeons by beating Germany, but the Dubliner maintains Ireland must be the ones to set the tempo and impose themselves on the visitors. ‘Every game is a must-win game, you want to win all these games and try to get as good a lead as possible. But it doesn’t work like that with such a tough and strong group,’ said Quinn. ‘It is a big game, we know how big it is, there’s no point in beating around the bush. But we’ll go out and do our best. ‘We’ll leave no stone unturned and do all our tactics, and then we’ll go out and do our job. There’s

Summary: Republic of Ireland midfielder Stephen Quinn set to line up against Poland . Jeff Hendrick and Darron Gibson have been ruled out of tie by injury . Ireland level on seven points with Scotland and Germany in Group D .


Preventing your mind from wandering from an important task may be as simple as putting on a pair of glasses. The inventor of smart spectacles called Narbis, claim they can train your brain to stay focused. They use sensors to monitor a wearer’s brainwaves and alert them if they start to daydream and let their attention drift elsewhere. Scroll down for video . Wear glasses to concentrate: The inventor of smart spectacles called Narbis (pictured), which use dry sensors to monitor a wearer’s brainwaves, claim they can train your brain to stay focused . The glasses do this by darkening the lenses to bring the wearer’s mind back to the task at hand. When they start paying attention again, the lenses clear. Devon Greco, the inventor of Narbis, claims that with repeated use, the glasses can train a person’s brain to focus for longer periods of time as well as help them relax and get a good night’s sleep. The 28-year-old, explained: 'The Narbis' sleep training programme is designed to improve the performance of a brain pattern known as SMR (sensorimotor rhythm) which is related to relaxation. Devon Greco, the inventor of Narbis, claims that with repeated use, the glasses can train a person’s brain to focus for longer periods of time as well as help them relax and get a good night’s sleep. Here, a woman has lost focus on her book, indicated by the lenses on the glasses turning opaque . The glasses are designed to use neurofeedback technology, which relays the information from the adjustable sensors that rest on the head (illustrated right), to the electrochromic lenses that can change darkness. An app will record a user's progress in improving their concentration . Narbis is a headset that uses sensors to measure a user’s brain patterns and send these signals to a set of electrochromic lenses. When a wearer’s attention drifts, the lenses darken and when they focus, the specs clear. Users will be able to train their brains by practicing keeping the lenses clear. The idea is that with work, they will be able to stay focused for longer and even learn how to shift into a state of focus at will. By doing two 30-minutes training sessions a week, they will start to see improvements in their brain's overall performance, Mr Greco’s Kickstarter page claims. ‘Through repeated training sessions, you can learn how to encourage good habits and discourage bad ones,’ it says. ‘The calming program is designed to help manage stress by regulating the level of alpha and theta waves which have been linked to anxiety, panic disorder, and obsessive compulsive disorder.’ The glasses are designed to use neurofeedback technology, which relays the information from the adjustable sensors that rest on the head, to the electrochromic lenses that can change darkness. Mr Greco, from Paoli in Pennsylvania, said: ‘Neurofeedback has proven to be a useful tool in helping people improve their concentration, sleep, memory, anxiety and self-esteem.' ‘Narbis brings neurofeedback out of the clinical setting and into your living room, office, air plane seat, park bench

Summary: Narbis glasses have dry sensors to monitor a wearer's brainwaves . Lenses will darken if the system detects a user has lost focus on a task . When they start paying attention again, the lenses will clear . Exercises improve concentration, sleep and stress levels, inventor claims .

Heather Watson edged into the third round of the BNP Paribas Open with a nervy 7-5, 7-5 victory over Italy's Camila Giorgi. Giorgi, who is ranked 10 places above Watson, had won the duo's only previous tour meeting - at Beijing in 2012 - but Watson exacted her revenge despite facing a superb fightback from her opponent. Watson lost five straight games in the second set as 29th seed Giorgi levelled at 5-5, before the British No 1 finally clinched victory in an hour and 45 minutes. 'It was a very tough match as I knew it would be,' Watson said in an on-court interview. 'Camila's a great player; she's just shot up rankings in the last year. Heather Watson celebrates defeating Camila Giorgi to move into the third round in Indian Wells . Watson survived a fightback to edge out her Italian opponent . 'I shot up to 5-0 but she also made quite a few errors. She started to came back. 'I didn't feel like I did too much wrong; she played too good, hitting winners and aces. I just had to stay tough and keep fighting.' Watson had scraped her way past Julia Goerges in the last round, and looked set for another tough encounter under the California sun. Both players exchanged two breaks each in the first set - much like Watson's match against Goerges - but things settled down soon after as they made it 4-4, with the Briton then holding serve with relative ease. Giorgi saved a set point at 40-15 on her serve but pulled a forehand wide to hand Watson the opening set. Giorgi was clearly off her serving rhythm - she hit 10 double faults in the first set - as she conceded an early break in the second, and Watson made it seven straight games to race into a 5-0 lead. The Italian, who is yet to win a singles title on the WTA tour, kick-started the recovery with a smooth service game, and had Watson running to all corners as a deciding set looked on the cards at 5-5. However, it was all in vain as Watson held serve to make it 6-5, and then needed just one of her three match points on the Giorgi serve to seal victory with the Italian firing a backhand long.

Summary: Watson held off a fightback from the Italian to win 7-5, 7-5 . Giorgi won five games in a row in the second set to ensure a nervy finish . Watson faces a tough task against seventh seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the next round .

Incoming England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves has promised an inquiry if the upcoming tour to face a 'mediocre' West Indies side does not go to plan. England's Test team are third in the world and are expected to return from the Caribbean with a success, which would be the ideal preparation ahead of an Ashes summer. A Test series boost will also go a long way in restoring faith in the coaching staff - head coach Peter Moores in particular - who have come in for criticism after the World Cup group-stage exit. Incoming ECB chairman Colin Graves vows an inquiry if England don't beat West Indies in their Test series . England coach Peter Moores is under pressure after England's disastrous World Cup . However, Graves has sounded a grim warning should Alastair Cook's team fail to beat West Indies, especially as the islanders will be be losing the likes of Chris Gayle to Twenty20 franchises in India. 'If we don't win, I can tell you now there will be some inquiries of why we haven't,' Graves told BBC Radio Leeds. 'I'd certainly be disappointed if we don't win the West Indies series, because I am pretty sure the West Indies are going to have a mediocre team. 'A lot of their stars are going to be playing in the Indian Premier League anyway, not in the Tests, so we should win that series.' Graves is due to start his job at the ECB in May, amid reports of a potential international return for Kevin Pietersen, with the exiled batsman hopeful of first signing for an English county. Test captain Alastair Cook struggled for form in the MCC's nine-wicket defeat to Yorkshire on Tuesday . But before all of that, Graves accepts the board has to start getting back to its roots. With Tom Harrison having taken charge as the new chief executive, Graves added: 'I think we've been seen as a governing body who might have been a bit aloof or a bit away from the coal face. 'I want to get back to the coal face, and our new chief exec is of the same opinion. That's top of the list. 'We want to be open, transparent and we want to work with the counties and everybody else, all the stakeholders, to make sure that we are doing the right thing.' West Indies will be without destructive batsman Chris Gayle who will be playing in the Indian Premier League .

Summary: England are ranked as the third best Test team in the world by the ICC . West Indies will be without several stars who will be playing in the IPL . The Caribbean tour will serve as preparation for this summer's Ashes .


Two particularly hungry, exotic termite species have apparently found love halfway around the world, causing concern for scientists. Asian and Formosan subterranean termites, two of the most destructive termite species on the planet, are could be mating in South Florida. They are producing hybrid colonies of 'super termites' that are growing at twice the normal rate. Asian (pictured) and Formosan subterranean termites, two of the most destructive termite species on the planet, are could be mating in South Florida.They are producing hybrid colonies of 'super termites' that are growing at twice the normal rate . Together, Asian and Formosan subterranean termites, are responsible for much of the estimated $40 billion in economic losses attributed to termites annually. The Formosan termites originated in China but now are established throughout the Southeast and blamed for roughly $300m in property damage each year in New Orleans alone. Asian termites normally found in tropical south-eastern Asia have spread to Brazil, the Caribbean and south Florida. Asian termites are not expected to spread farther north in the US than south Florida because they do not tolerate colder weather/ . However, a hybrid might be able to thrive in a greater range than either species alone. Their habitat ranges overlap in lush south Florida, already home to a daunting number of invasive plant and animal species thriving where they should not. Each termite invaded Florida several decades ago, but experts believed the colonies didn't mingle because their above ground mating swarms launched in different months. That is, until University of Florida researcher Thomas Chouvenc noticed something unusual about the termite swarms in his Fort Lauderdale neighbourhood two years ago. The two species were flying around looking for mates at the same time – and they were giving each other that look. The research is preliminary and leaves many questions unanswered, but the idea of a hybrid termite carrying the destructive capabilities of two invasive species worries experts. 'That's big news,' said Matthew Messenger, an entomologist at the US Department of Agriculture. 'They're two bad ones, too.' Chouvenc is the lead author of a study published this week i the journal Plos One detailing observations of Asian and Formosan termite swarms in downtown Fort Lauderdale. In the field, including Chouvenc's own yard, researchers documented the two species swarming at the same time and in the same places. The same behaviour was documented again last year, and Chouvenc said he is seeing again this spring. 'What we didn't expect to see was when they're in the same place at the same time, we saw the male Asian subterranean termites looking for the female Formosan termites in the field,' Chouvenc said. Together, Asian and Formosan (pictured) subterranean termites, are responsible for much of the estimated $40 billion in economic losses attributed to termites annually . 'When we put them in vials and brought them back to the lab, to our biggest surprise they started laying eggs and the eggs started growing.' The resulting 'hybrid' colony in the lab grew more vigorously than colonies produced by either species alone, researchers said. Genetic

Summary: Asian and Formosan termites have been found breeding for the first time . They are producing 'super termites' that can grow at twice the normal rate . It is unknown whether the colony has survived the wild in Fort Lauderdale .

An Islamic extremist has been arrested after an American blogger was hacked to death with a machete in the middle of the street. Avijit Roy was on his way back from a university book fair in Bangladesh when he was targeted on Thursday by at least two men over his opposition to religious extremism. They sliced his head with the long blades before turning on his wife, Rafida Ahmed, and cutting her finger off when she tried to save him. Police in the country's capital Dhaka paraded their suspect, fundamentalist blogger Farabi Shafiur Rahman, before the media after arresting him earlier today. Scroll down for video .

Mr Roy was hacked to death with a machete in the middle of the street on Thursday . Mr Roy with his wife Rafida Ahmed on holiday together at the Grand Canyon. She remains in hospital in a serious condition after she suffered head injuries and lost a finger in the attack . A source in the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) said that an elite force had seen correspondence between former physics student Farabi and another person about killing Mr Roy. Mufti Mahmud, a spokesman for the RAB, said: 'On different occasions, he exchanged [Roy’s] location, his identity and his family’s photographs with various people. 'He wrote: "Avijit Roy lives in America. So it’s not possible to kill him at this moment. But when he’ll return to the country, he’ll be murdered."' Police added that Mr Roy's family had been threatened by the extremist, who is known for his Facebook postings against atheist writers, on several occasions on Facebook and Twitter. Farabi posted on Facebook last year: 'It's a holy duty of Bangalee Muslims to kill Avijit.' Major Maksudul Alam, another spokesman, said: 'He is the main suspect. [Roy’s] family told us that he got threats from Farabi several times. Commander Mufti Mahmud Khan added: 'Farabi has admitted that he threatened Avijit but we are not sharing more information with you for the sake of the investigation. We need to ask him more.' Farabi was previously arrested over the murder of another blogger, Ahmed Rajib Haide, in February 2013 but was released on bail.

Alonso, back at the wheel of a F1 car, hailed McLaren's progress since the opening race of the season . ‘I'd say the progress we've made since Australia has been fantastic,', said Alonso. ‘We're much closer to the cars in front now but we're still under-performing and we still need to improve.' Alonso then posted a picture on Twitter of him dining out with Ron Dennis, the McLaren chairman, and team principal Eric Boullier. The snap comes after Alonso contradicted McLaren's version of events surrounding the mysterious testing crash which ruled him out of the race in Melbourne. ‘Our form today wasn't unexpected but I think our performance so far this weekend has maybe been better than I'd have anticipated before arriving here in Malaysia,' Alonso added. ‘However, the steps we're taking with the car show a lot of progress, so I'm optimistic that I won't be qualifying in Q1 for that much longer. ‘This isn't an ideal position from which to start the race, but I'm fully aware that McLaren-Honda is a long-term project. We want to beat Mercedes, and to do that you need time, and to be prepared to take your chances as they come.’ Jenson Button will start from 17th on the grid, one place ahead of his McLaren team-mate Alonso . The Briton, sporting a moustache in Malaysia, believes there are a 'lot of positives' McLaren can drawn from . Button, who qualified one place ahead of Alonso, echoed his team mate's sentiments and admitted that the speed at which McLaren have closed the gap on the cars in front was a good sign. ‘Before qualifying, I think we'd have hoped to be a bit closer to the cars in front of us, but this weekend has seen us take a massive step forward in performance,’ said the Briton, who finished last and two laps down on race winner Lewis Hamilton at the curtain raiser in Australia. ‘Also, I think our race pace and our consistency over a long run look like giving us a little extra. I'd like to think we could get closer to some of the cars in front tomorrow; that'll be something to look

Summary: Fernando Alonso will start on the penultimate row for Sunday's race . He will be joined by McLaren team-mate Jenson Button who qualified 17th . It's the second straight race where McLaren have failed to make it out of Q1 . But Alonso hailed the British team's improvement since the season opener .


A nine-year-old boy wearing only pajamas and no shoes fled to his Minnesota school as his step mom allegedly chased him yelling 'I'm going to kill you'. The child, who has not been named, ran into Dayton's Bluff Achievement Plus Elementary where teachers found him hysterically crying on Wednesday around 3.40pm, according to the criminal complaint. Shortly after, the principal told police his step-mom, Tashay Caprice Johnson, 24, came running into the school. A boy, nine, told police he ran to his school after his step mom allegedly told him she was going to kill him (Tashay Caprice Johnson pictured above) Johnson, 24, was arrested following the incident and charged with making terroristic threats and malicious punishment of a child . The boy claimed Johnson hit him on the head with a baseball bat, struck him in the face with her fist and also hit him in the arm with a belt before telling him she was going to grab a gun and kill him. Johnson was arrested and faces up to five years in prison if convicted of both charges including making terroristic threats and malicious punishment of a child. Police said they found injuries that matched the trauma the boy described including swelling on the left side of his head and marks on his left arm that appeared to be from a belt, according to 11Alive. They also found scratches near his left eye and the right side of his neck. While officers were speaking to Johnson at her home, they later found the baseball bat and arrested her. Johnson, right, denied assaulting the boy and told police she had agreed with his dad to have him sit in the corner as punishment but he kept running around the house . On Wednesday after the boy ran into the school, the principal blocked Johnson from entering until they could piece together what had transpired. The boy told police earlier that day his teacher had walked him home so that she could talk to his parents about his behavioral problems at school. Once the teacher left their home, that is when he said Johnson told him he was going to get a 'whooping'. After she allegedly hit him and said she was going to get the gun, he fled from home. Johnson denied assaulting the boy or threatening to kill him, and she did not know how he got the belt marks on his arm, according to Twin Cities. She told police that after the teacher left their home, she spoke to the child's father and they both decided to have him sit in the corner as punishment, but he ran around the house instead, the complaint said. Following Johnson's arrest, the boy's father jumped and said 'I whoop that kid but it doesn't do any good'. If she is convicted of the charges, Johnson faces $10,000 in fines for the terroristic threat charge and $3,000 in fines for the malicious punishment charge, according to KSTP. The principal of Dayton's Bluff Achievement Plus Elementary (above) told police the boy ran into

Australia captain Michael Clarke warned his side were yet to play their perfect game in the World Cup, despite booking their spot in Sunday's final with a 95-run victory over defending champions India. Steven Smith clocked his first World Cup century on Thursday, his 105 off just 93 balls propelling Australia to 328 for seven, with opener Aaron Finch kicking on to 81 after a slow start. It meant India's run-chase was under pressure from the start, and, barring skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni's run-a-ball 65, Australia had a relatively easy route to the finish line and now have the chance for a fifth World Cup title when they face co-hosts New Zealand. Michael Clarke and his Australia team-mates celebrate during their World Cup victory over India on Thursday . Clarke shakes hand with Indian players after the 95-run win that saw Australia progress to the final . Mitchell Johnson celebrates after taking the wicket of India's Virat Kholi at the Sydney Cricket Ground . The Black Caps are the only unbeaten team of the tournament so far, having trumped Australia as well in the pool stages, but Clarke said on Sky Sports World Cup: 'We're playing some really good cricket at the moment. 'Losing to New Zealand gave us that kick up the backside. I still don't think we've played the perfect game yet. I think we've improved every game and now we're excited to be in the final. 'I think the boys have played some outstanding cricket. Smithy was exceptional once again. He's hitting the ball so sweetly, and I'm really proud of the execution under pressure there from our bowlers.' Smith's century comes in a tournament that has already seen him make scores of 95, 72 and 65, and the stand-in Test captain hopes there is plenty left in the bag for Sunday. 'Another big hundred would be nice,' he said. 'It's nice to contribute to a few wins. It was a pretty big stage, the semi-final of a World Cup. I'm just happy that we got over the line in the end.' Steve Smith plays a fine shot on his way to a 100 against India in the Cricket World Cup semi-final . The all-rounder raises his bat to a bumper crowd after reaching his century on Thursday . Dhoni, meanwhile, feels his side can walk away with their heads held high after a World Cup that belied many pre-tournament expectations. India came into the showpiece on the back of a disappointing tour of Australia, with no competitive wins to their name, but marched to the knockout phase by topping their pool and then easily beat Bangladesh. 'Overall, I'm quite happy,' Dhoni said. 'Where we were at the start of the tournament, a lot of people didn't think we'd get this far. 'At the same time, when you come to the knockout stages you have to lift your game. 'There were too many (runs) to chase. If you lose quite a few wickets and you're supposed to chase over six runs an over... Our lower order, I don't think

Joe Hart considers Sergio Aguero to be a better finisher than Lionel Messi. The England goalkeeper has backed his Manchester City team-mate ahead of the Barcelona star when it comes to their natural ability to score. Messi is always put forward as one of the greatest to ever play the game when the debate is raised, but Hart believes Aguero has the advantage when it comes to tucking them away. England goalkeeper Joe Hart views Sergio Aguero (left) as a better finisher than Barcelona's Lionel Messi . Hart works with Aguero on a day-to-day basis at Manchester City and is impressed with what he's seen . ‘From working with him on a daily basis and from what I've seen this season, Aguero just knows how to score,’ Hart explained. ‘In training he particularly excites you most days but he's also got that ability on the day to do it. We've got a good team, but a long clearance could turn into a goal because he's got that ability to take it round five people and score. ‘It's a great thing to have. Sergio is a very natural player and in a situation one-on-one there is nothing complicated about it. He takes that option to score. Messi is absolutely awesome, he is a phenomenal player, but I'm backing Sergio.’ Messi is denied by Hart at the Nou Camp during City's Champions League exit to Barcelona last week . Messi could not find a way past Hart over the two legs and missed a penalty at the Etihad Stadium . Hart has faced Messi four times in the past two season, not conceding to the Argentine at all this campaign but twice last year, a penalty and a delicate strike. ‘He scored past me with the outside of his foot,’ Hart said. ‘He managed to dink it back past my shoulder and didn't have the momentum to do that, he shouldn't have been able to do that, but it appeared like a very simple finish for him. He's definitely one of the best players I've ever played against.’ Hart got one over Messi by saving his penalty in their Champions League last-16, second-leg tie last week, but he takes no credit for the stop. ‘The only reason he missed is because he probably didn't take it as well as he wanted to,’ Hart added. ‘I don't think it was down to me. ‘I'm sure in years to come when potentially he's being honoured as the greatest player ever to play football then it will be a nice one to have.’ Aguero is third-top goalscorer in the Premier League this season behind Diego Costa and Harry Kane . Hart has been impressed with the composure shown by Aguero, seeing his one-on-one technique as 'natural'

Summary: Joe Hart ranks Sergio Aguero as a better finisher than Lionel Messi . Manchester City stopper was in fine from to deny Messi last week . Hart drew plaudits from the Barcelona star for his saves at the Nou Camp . But the England keeper sees Aguero's one-on-one ability as greater . CLICK HERE for all the latest Manchester City news .

But I could see the fear in her eyes too. ‘This time the numbness and paralysis didn't last just minutes. I rang my mum, who is a neuro nurse and all I remember her saying was "call an ambulance".’ When Mr Ker arrived at the hospital, he undertook a CT scan but alarm bells started ringing when he was told to do a second scan but with contrast dye injected into him. ‘That’s when I knew something was wrong,’ Mr Ker said. ‘Then the doctor walked in and all I remember her saying was: "I am very sorry and there is no right way to explain this but you have a large tumour in the right side of your brain." Nathan Ker pictured getting his head shaved after undergoing a surgery to get the large tumour removed . Mr Ker said he didn’t know what was going to happen next, which prompted him to end his relationship with his girlfriend at the time. ‘I told Rikki I couldn't be with her anymore because I was not able to put someone through what I thought I was about to go through,’ he said. ‘But she said: “it would take a security guard to drag her out of there”. ‘I have no idea what kind of pain Rikki would have been in watching it all unfold - my family members were crying on my shoulder while I was sitting in a wheelchair - having to do all this without really even knowing me. ‘She ended up having to hold me up in the shower, dress me and do everything I couldn't do
