London's latest hipster restaurant serving different versions of just one type of food opened its doors today. And already customers have flocked to the trendy Porridge Cafe which specialises in 25 kinds of porridge made from 11 different grains and features sweet as well as savoury offerings. The brainchild of Nik Wiliamson and Elly Harrington, the founders of food truck business The Bow Street Kitchen, it's the latest place to turn a seemingly everyday food into a gourmet experience. Customer Holly Mac eating at the Porridge Cafe in Shoreditch, the first of its kind to open in London . Blueberry and apple compote rye porridge served with fresh blueberries, and pumpkin and sunflower seeds . Prices range from £2.35 for a bowl of basic porridge to £7 for the more hearty versions, with meat and vegetable toppings. But it does serve more than just plain bowlfuls of oats. A range of sweet offerings involve typical toppings such as apple, vanilla and hazelnut; strawberry, cinnamon and cranberry and raspberry, peach and almond - the savoury toppings veer towards the unusual. Made with spelt, arborio rice or grain buckwheat and quinoa, they feature slow-roasted chicken, leek and cream cheese; bacon, avocado and roasted tomato; and salami, pecorino and porcini mushroom. Mr Williamson said: 'Our basic porridge will match Pret's prices. 'Customers will be able to top their basic porridge with sugar, jams or honey for £2.35. A bowl of savoury porridge of slow cooked beef ragu, feta and basil will set you back £6.50 . Customer Victoria Jenkins eats a bowl of porridge at the Porridge Cafe . 'The healthy and sweet porridges, with fruits and seeds, start at £4 while the savoury risottos start at £5.50 for the vegetarian ones. 'The most expensive will be the ones with meat, with prices ranging from between £6 and £7.' The inspiration behind their latest venture came about when the duo were in Scandinavia. Mr Williamson said: 'We were in Copenhagen and we noticed there was a lot of great porridge. We tasted different grains – in Scandinavia they use rye, buckwheat, spelt, barley and quinoa to make their porridge. Grain buckwheat cooked with pomegranate juice and cardamom and served with orange slices, dates and dark chocolate shavings . ‘You would think we were sick of the stuff but the different varieties and incarnations are endless. 'We love how versatile it is and hope we can make people realise that porridge can be so much more than oats and water.’ High fibre, high protein and low GI, porridge has long been known as the perfect food as part of a balanced diet. ‘Eating porridge regularly can also help reduce stress due to the presence of magnesium in many grains,' Mr Williamson added. The partners discovered the huge amount of grains that are used to make porridge all over the world, along with the different methods to make it. They finally decided on 11 grains which they think ‘taste great’. A bowl of mushroom, lemon and fennel porridge (left). The cafe is the brainchild of Nik Williamson

My heart says it is New Zealand to win this World Cup final but in my head I have to go for Australia, although not by a wide margin. The important thing for the event as a whole is that it has got the right final, involving the two best sides. I thought India were the one team who might just have a say but Australia were too strong —both these sides fully deserve to be here. The reason they have both earned it is that they have played the full-on, modern brand of one-day cricket: powerful batting combined with wicket-taking bowling marshalled by two captains constantly looking to make things happen. It is the completely up-to-date version of 50-over cricket — slightly different to what was seen from certain other teams we could mention. Tim Southee is relishing the prospect of facing Australia in the World Cup final on Sunday . Aaron Finch will hope to make an impact for Australia in the World Cup final . Everyone likes an underdog, and part of you wants to see the Kiwis win because it would be great to have a new winner. They have played exhilarating cricket and you also get the sense that their whole country is really behind them. From an England point of view, they are visiting in early summer and to welcome them as world champions would really add something to it. But my head is ruling the heart largely due to the home advantage of Australia playing at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. To me that is a massive factor at World Cups. The Black Caps have played every match at home so far and I fear that it is going to be difficult to travel to a venue that is going to be quite different to where they have been playing. Australia celebrate as they book their place in the final with a win over India in the semi-finals . David Warner thanks the crowd after winning the semi-final against India . The ball has swung around in New Zealand, but, with the drop-in pitch, that has not been so much the case at the MCG which, apart from anything else, is much larger than where they have been so far. On some of the grounds in New Zealand even the mishits will go for six, and that will not happen this time. One of the more notable statistics of this tournament has been that Brendon McCullum has scored 85 per cent of his runs in boundaries, . The remarkable Kiwi captain is the most important single figure in this game. As a batsman he’s shown that he is looking to tee off virtually every time. New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum has scored 85 per cent of his runs in boundaries . He has made some dashing knocks in the earlier rounds without pushing on to a really big score. If he could do that in the final it would be huge for New Zealand. He has been my captain of the tournament. He is aggressive without

Summary: My head and my heart are torn over who should win the World Cup . But the important thing is we have the two best sides in the final . They both deserve it for their full-on modern brand of one-day cricket . We all love an underdog and part of me wants to see the Kiwis win .


The only word I can use to describe my feeling over the last few days is distraught, really. The night we lost to Bangladesh I found myself staring at the floor in disbelief and I was trying to work out in my own mind what happened. Then over the next couple of days it started to sink in and the disappointment turned to anger. Anger at ourselves. It was in our hands and the players have to take every bit of heat we get because we were in a very winnable position in that game. We just didn’t take to the pressure well at all. What went wrong? It’s tricky as players to try to offer an explanation because it can sound like an excuse. But I will try. Did we lack a bit of experience? You look at the big teams here at this World Cup and most of the players have played a lot more one-day internationals than us. There’s always a temptation to call for change at times like this but my gut feeling would be to keep this group of players together to get them that experience over the next four years before the next World Cup. We don’t play as much one-day and Twenty20 cricket as others because of our schedules but we have to find a way to be honest so we can get that experience. You learn how to win games in tricky positions and the pressure of winning a game for England is completely different to doing it for your county. Stuart Broad (bottom) lays on the floor during England's World Cup Pool A defeat to Bangladesh on Monday . Don’t blame the coach . It’s unfair to pin the blame on Peter Moores. We’ve worked a lot on our game and the coach can’t do anything about the players not being able to take the heat of the battle when it most matters. Coaches try to teach that but you only really get it by winning and losing at the highest level. I’m reading a book called The Unstoppable Golfer by Bob Rotella and a lot of what he says applies to cricket. It’s about players taking responsibility to get into a position to handle the pressure. There was no reason why we couldn’t have beaten Bangladesh on that flat wicket at the Adelaide Oval. No reason why we shouldn’t have been able to chase 275. England coach Peter Moores (left) has come under strong criticism for their early World Cup exit . Below my best . It’s stating the obvious to say I haven’t taken the amount of wickets I would have liked in this tournament but it’s never the definitive way to judge how you have bowled. I like to judge myself on the processes, whether I’ve hit the right areas and whether I’ve created chances. I feel like I have created chances but I’ve not hit the right areas as consistently as I’d like to have done. At the start of the tournament I tried to bowl as quickly as

Summary: England lost to Bangladesh by 15 runs in their Pool A clash on Monday . Defeat meant the Three Lions couldn't qualify for the quarter-finals . Stuart Broad aims to play in the next World Cup which will be on home soil .

It is tempting whilst on holiday to let your hair down and enjoy the freedom of being away from home. Some holidaymakers take that freedom a little too far or fail to do their homework on local customs or laws, leading to calls for tourists to preserve some of their modesty and put on another layer or two. From a bikini ban in Spain to a law that requires knees to be covered whilst shopping in Dubai, MailOnline Travel has compiled some of the clothing bans from around the world which have led to embarrassing incidents or fines for visitors. Underboob photos have been posted by celebrities such as Rihanna and Suki Waterhouse to their many fans . Underboob selfies in Thailand . It was revealed this month that Thailand would be banning women from taking underboob selfies to avoid the 'obscene' material causing 'public panic'. Despite the act of photographing the lower part of the breast becoming a popular trend in the south-east Asian country, snappers could face five years in prison. The military has been criticised for its extreme censorship of film, TV and music, while allowing some of its infamous raunchy night activities to continue. Qatar reminded tourists about appropriate dress last year and confirmed that leggings are not considered trousers in the country . Lose the leggings in Qatar . Last year Qatar issued a decree advising tourists that leggings are not considered trousers and are not modest enough to wear in public.

The Reflect Your Respect campaign, launched by the Qatar Islamic Cultural Center, has listed some advice and tips for tourists on how to dress modestly in preparation for the 2022 Football World Cup it is hosting. The pamphlets asked visitors to help preserve Qatar's culture and values. They state: 'If you are in Qatar, you are one of us. Please dress modestly in public places.' It then adds: 'Leggings are not pants.' The campaign uses social media to help get its message across, including the use of its own Twitter account. Cover up or pay up! Beware if you are in Spain and fancying strolling off the beach in a bikini and heading into town, as you could face large fines . Shelve the swimsuits in Spain . Holidaymakers who feel the need to wander off the beach and into the town in their bikinis and speedos should think again in Spain.

Mallorca followed suit with this last year and said penalties of up to £500 could be dished out for wearing swimming costumes in the street.

Bafetimbi Gomis was given a clean bill of health on Thursday after revealing his shocking mid-game collapse was caused by the stress of his father’s ill health. The Frenchman was discharged from hospital in London in the morning having fainted eight minutes into Swansea’s 3-2 defeat against Tottenham at White Hart Lane. There were distressing echoes of Fabrice Muamba’s collapse at the same ground three years ago, with Spurs’ substitute goalkeeper Brad Friedel admitting he ‘feared the worst’ as he watched the striker slump to the ground. Bafetimbi Gomis lies face down on the pitch after collapsing during Swansea's game with Tottenham . Medical staff attended to the France international for four minutes before he regained consciousness . Concerned Tottenham players look on as the Swansea forward is attended to my medical staff . But hospital tests through the night have found no deeper cause for concern beyond the 29-year-old’s vasovagal condition, which the Welsh club insist they have been aware of since before they signed the player from Lyon last summer. A senior club source told Sportsmail that knowledge of at least three previous episodes involving Gomis in France meant they were ‘extra rigorous’ in testing him during his medical and cardiology exams. A source close to the player confirmed those tests took place in a specialist facility in Cardiff ahead of Gomis’s Bosman move to south Wales. The Frenchman tweeted to insist he was feeling better, claiming he fainted because of the anxiety caused by his father’s illness. He said: ‘I wanted to reassure you concerning my health. It actually looks much scarier than it is physically dangerous, and I am feeling well now. Gomis, who has a history of blacking out, is taken off the field on a stretcher at White Hart Lane . Tottenham midfielder Nabil Bentaleb (right) holds his head in his hands as Gomis is taken off on a stretcher . Players from both sides appear shocked as referee Michael Oliver prepares to restart the game . ‘I have been under a great deal of stress and fatigue due to my father’s health, which requires me to go back and forth from France. ‘I was disappointed that I couldn’t help my team tonight (Wednesday), but now everything is back in order. I also want to thank everyone for their support and get well messages.’ The striker will not return to training until Tuesday, though the time off was agreed for the whole squad ahead of Wednesday’s incident, with Swansea not playing again until Monday week’s clash against Liverpool. He is expected to return to France imminently. Club officials were adamant on Wednesday night that Gomis has suffered no previous issues with fainting since his arrival at the Liberty Stadium, though the dressing room had been made aware of a condition that is understood to have first affected the striker when he was 14. A vasovagal syncope, which is what Bafetimbi Gomis suffered on Wednesday night, is caused by a sudden decrease in blood pressure or heart-rate, triggered by emotional or physical factors. Reduced blood flow to

Summary: Bafetimbi Gomis collapsed during first half of Swansea's match at Spurs . The Swansea striker wanted to play on but was carried off on a stretcher . Gomis said his father's ill-health was one cause for the collapse . This has happened to Gomis three times before (with Lyon and France) Incident brought back memories of Fabrice Muamba's collapse .


A tooth belonging to a Peking Man – an ancient human ancestor that lived between 750,000 and 200,000 years ago - has been re-discovered after being lost for decades. It was found in one of 40 forgotten boxes at the Museum of Evolution at Uppsala University, Sweden, allowing scientists to re-examine it using modern techniques. From wear-and-tear on the canine tooth, they say that the individual it belonged to was quite old when she died and probably gnawed on bones and crunched on hard nuts. A tooth belonging to the Peking Man – an ancient human ancestor that lived between 750,000 and 200,000 years ago - has been re-discovered after being lost for decades in an unopened box in a museum . Fossils, including a number of teeth, were found in caves in Zhoukoudian near Beijing in the 1920s, but most of the pieces were lost in the chaos of World War Two. The tooth surfaced in 2011 in a box that had never been unpacked or studied since it was shipped from China in the 1920s. The tooth indicates that Peking Man (a bust is pictured) gnawed on bones and ate nuts . Two Chinese palaeontologists, Liu Wu and Tong Haowen from the Institute of Vertebrate Palaeontology and Palaeoanthropology (IVPP) in Beijing have now examined the tooth and it has at last been described in the journal Acta Anthropologica Sinica. They quickly determined that it was a canine tooth from a Peking Man. ‘It is a spectacular find,’ said Per Ahlberg, who was one of the team who came across it in the box. ‘We can see numerous details that tell us about this individual’s life. ‘The crown of the tooth is relatively small, which indicates that it belonged to a woman. ‘The tooth is quite worn, so the individual must have been quite old when she died. ‘In addition, two large chips have been knocked out of the enamel, as if hit by something, or perhaps by biting into something really hard such as a bone or a hard nut. ‘At least one of the chips was old when the individual died, since it is partly worn down.’ Dr Ahlberg told MailOnline the woman may have been between 30 and 40 years old when she died, which was a ripe age at the time. Previous studied have shown that the Peking Man used fire to stay warm and wore animal hides. The very first samples of the prehistoric ancestor were found by Otto Zdansky from Uppsala University in the 1920s and are on show alongside a third tooth discovered in the 1950s, at the museum. It became a world sensation in 1927 when crania and other bones were found at the site by Wenhao Weng of the Geological Survey of China and Canadian Davidson Black, who had taken over the excavations. Peking Man, an ancient human ancestor lived between 750,000 and 200,000 years ago. The name describes the species, not an individual and around 15 partial crania have been found. Examination of a tooth now shows that the species ate

Summary: Tooth was found in a box at the Museum of Evolution at Uppsala University . Fossil was found in the 1920s but has been lost for decades . It belonged to an ancient human ancestor some 500,000 years ago . Peking Man is the name of the species, not an individual . Wear and tear indicates person gnawed on bones and crunched hard nuts . Canine tooth belonged to a woman who was quite old when she died .

With striker Bas Dost in remarkable form - with 13 goals in his eight games since January 1 - and former Chelsea midfielder Kevin De Bruyne pulling the strings behind him, Wolfsburg now look nailed on for a Champions League spot. In fact, qualification for Europe's biggest competition links all of the top form teams, with few of 2015's best performers actually challenging for the title in the top leagues around the continent. Brendan Rodgers celebrates Liverpool's win against Manchester City which continued their great form . In Spain, Valencia's excellent run of just one defeat and one draw in nine games this year has lifted them to within a point of Atletico Madrid in third place, though they are still eight points short of Real Madrid at the top of the table. The most remarkable upsurge in form comes from Caen, who have picked up 19 points from eight games, having only earned 15 from their 19 matches in the first half of the season. The run has seen them earn a 2-2 draw against PSG and beat Marseille 3-2 having trailed 2-0 in both games. Wolfsburg striker Bas Dost is Europe's sharpest marksman in 2015, with 13 goals in his last eight games . The Dutch striker has been a revelation in 2015, having only scored once before the turn of the year . Emiliano Sala scored against Marseille as Caen came back from two goals down . Remy Vercoutre, the Caen keeper, salutes the fans after his side's remarkable run continued in Marseille . On-loan Argentine foward Emiliano Sala, signed from Bordeaux at the end of January, has scored four times in the last three games as Caen have climbed from bottom of the league on New Year's Day to a comfortable mid-table

Summary: Brendan Rodgers' side have picked up 20 points in eight games this year . Arsenal (18 from eight), Chelsea (14 from seven) are next best in England . Wolfsburg have racked up an incredible 16 points from six games in 2015 . Form sides in England, Spain and Germany chasing Champions League .


A giant redwood tree that was felled 125 years ago to satisfy a drunken bet is to be brought back to life on the Cornish coast. The tree in Humboldt, California, became known as the Fieldwood Stump after being cut down in 1890 at the behest of a wealthy American living in Britain. For decades since tourists have visited the site, perching on what remains of it for photographs. Scroll down for video . The Fieldwood Stump in Humboldt, California, was felled in 1890, shortly before this photograph is believed to have been taken. Cuttings from the felled tree have since been planted in Cornwall . Cuttings of the tree have been planted at the Eden Project in Cornwall and are now growing in its nursery . But a group of scientists believe they may be able to recreate its former glory after planting cuttings of its wood in the Eden Project in Cornwall. At one time the tree, whose stump is 35ft in diameter, towered as high as a 30-storey building. It was felled in the late 19th Century on the orders of William Walford Astor who is said to have bet drinking mate he could source a 40-seat dining table from a single cross-section of a tree. A huge slice indeed arrived at Cliveden, his stately home in Buckinghamshire, but Lord Astor forbid peers from retelling the story. More than a century after meeting its end the tree will be rejuvenated by scientists in Cornwall as part of an adventurous project to clone American plants in Britain. 'We’re really excited about this, we’re going to plant a hundred trees to the north of the Eden site to form a living library. 'It feels really odd to hold these saplings and know that they might well be around for another 3000 years from now. 'The climate in Cornwall is not dissimilar from Oregon and northern California where these trees grow naturally so Eden offers absolutely perfect conditions for them. The tree is thought to have been felled at the request of Lord Astor after he made a drunken bet insisting that he could source a 40-seat dining table from one slice of cross-section . For decades tourists have visited the stump, posing for photographs in front of what remains of its base . The tree base has a diameter of 35ft and, at one time, is thought to have towered as high as a 30-storey building . Scientists began last year by collecting cuttings of trees around California. The cuttings were replanted in nurseries at the Eden Project in St Austell and have now grown to leg height. Planting cuttings rather than seeds is more likely to produce an exact clone of the original tree, with the shavings containing exactly the same DNA. The method of propagation is one championed by David Milarch, a former biker-gang member who founded the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive in a bid to save more of the planet's plants. Along with his sons Mr Milarch has concentrated on planting more sequoias and redwoods because of their

Summary: The tree in Humboldt, California, was felled in 1890 at behest of Lord Astor . It became known as the Fieldwood Stump and has since attracted tourists . Scientists at the Eden Project collected cuttings from its wood last year . They have planted 10 clone saplings in nursery in St Austell, Cornwall . Activists say cloning more redwood trees could help battle climate change .


The war medals of the Normandy veteran who broke out of his care home to attend last year’s D-Day commemorations in France have sold for more than five times their estimated value. Bernard Jordan became known as the Great Escaper after he absconded from his carers, caught a ferry to Caen and turned up in Normandy with his service awards pinned to his blazer. His medals raised £1,650 for the RNLI at Wallis and Wallis in Lewes, East Sussex. The estimate had been £300. Great Escaper: Bernard Jordan absconded from his carers, caught a ferry to Caen and turned up in Normandy with his service awards pinned to his blazer . Mr Jordan died aged 90 on December 30, and a week later his widow Irene passed away. The couple had no immediate family and left £600,000 to the RNLI in their will. Mr Jordan was a 19-year-old Royal Navy lieutenant when on June 6, 1944, he was on a tank-landing craft in the first wave of boats to hit the Normandy beaches. He had already taken part in the Battle of the Atlantic - the cat-and-mouse conflict between Allied ships and German U-boats over the vital supply routes from Europe to the United States. At one stage he was part of the boarding party that captured one of the Enigma coding machines, used by the Nazis to scramble messages, from an enemy submarine. Following the war, Mr Jordan got into local politics and served as a town councillor for 23 years in his hometown of Hove, East Sussex. He was a a city councillor for two years and was mayor of the town from 1995 to 1996. Mr Jordan hit headlines in June last year when he went missing from his care home the day before the 75th anniversary D-Day celebrations. Without telling anyone, including his wife Irene, the plucky pensioner caught a ferry to Caen in Normandy and made his own way to the service.

Mr Jordan's medals, sold after his death, comprise the 1939-1945 Star, the Atlantic Star with French and German clasp, the Italy Star, the Defence Medal and the War Medal . Police meanwhile had launched a missing persons appeal which was only called off when Mr Jordan called home. On his return, Mr Jordan was made an honorary alderman of Brighton and Hove and on his 90th birthday he was inundated with 2,500 cards from wellwishers around the world. More than 150 mourners turned out to pay their respects to Mr Jordan at a joint funeral service for him and Irene held in Brighton on January 30. His medals, sold after his death, comprise the 1939-1945 Star, the Atlantic Star with French and German clasp, the Italy Star, the Defence Medal and the War Medal.

The list of superstar performers who have offered their services keeps getting bigger. Pharrell Williams, Moby, Ellie Goulding, Andrew W.K., DJ Tommie Sunshine and dance duo Knife Party have all lent their support to Sean known affectionately as Dancing Man.

'There's also a lot of big names who have offered to perform, the thing is out of control, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger.'

An anonymous poster wrote: 'Spotted this specimen trying to dance the other week. He stopped when he saw us laughing.' The post was republished on photo site imgur and quickly picked up more than 2000 comments of support for the mystery man's moves. A GoFundMe account — intended to track down Sean and offer to fly him to L.A. - is at $38,000 and climbing. Organizers of that page say any money that doesn't go do the dance party will go to an anti-bullying campaign.

Suit: Chia Hong is suing Facebook, accusing her former boss Anil wilson (photographed) of discrimination and harassment based on sex and race . Does Facebook lean forward? Not so much, claims one former employee who is suing the social networking giant for gender and race discrimination. Despite employing Sheryl Sandberg, one of the nation's leading advocates for working mothers, Chia Hong claims she was belittled by her boss for taking time off to volunteer at her children's school, forced to served drinks to male co-workers and told she should have just stayed home to take care of her child. Hong filed a lawsuit with the San Mateo County Superior Court Monday against the social networking giant claiming that her former boss, Anil Wilson, harassed and 'belittled' her for being a woman and for being Taiwanese. In the lawsuit, Hong claims that Wilson regularly 'ignored' and 'belittled' her opinions and input during group meetings where she was one of few women present. Wilson once allegedly asked Hong why she didn't 'just stay home and take care of her child instead of having a career' and scolded her for taking one day off each month to volunteer at her child's school -- a practice permitted by the company. A Facebook spokesperson denied the allegations and told Recode that the company has made progress in matters related to gender, diversity, and equality. 'In this case we have substantive disagreements on the facts,' the spokesperson said 'and we believe the record shows the employee was treated fairly.' Hong alleges that she was told she was not part of 'the team' because 'she looks different and talks differently than other team members.' As of 2014, 69 percent of Facebook's employees world-wide are male and 31 percent are female, according to Tech Republic. Fair Treatment: A Facebook spokesperson denied the allegations and said that Hong was treated fairly . A diversity report showed that more than half of the company's employees identify as white. She claims she was ordered to 'organize parties and serve drinks to her male colleagues' -- actions neither part of her job description nor requested of males at the company. The mother says she experienced much harassment and, after she filed a complaint, the company fired her in October 2013 replacing her with an Indian male who, she claims, is 'less qualified' and 'less experienced,' Fox reports. The suit states that Hong, who began working for the company in 2010, received good performance reviews, pay raises, and even a promotion. But once she filed the harassment complaint, she received a negative performance evaluation and was fired. High-Profile: Hong is being represented by Lawless & Lawless, the San Francisco firm representing Ellen Pao (photographed) in the high-profile gender discrimination case against Silicon Valley's venture capital firm . Hong is suing the company for damages stemming from sex and race harassment and discrimination, retaliation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, discharge in violation of public policy, legal fees, and punitive damages. The suit states that the amount demanded exceeds $25,000. She is seeking a jury trial as

Beacons will be lit from coast to coast, church bells rung and street parties held during a three-day commemoration for the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe, it was confirmed yesterday. The long weekend of events beginning on Friday May 8, the day after the general election, will include a televised Forties-style concert in London’s Horse Guards Parade. The VE Day celebrations are a victory for the Daily Mail which had highlighted mounting concern that the anniversary risked being overshadowed by the election. Street parties will be held to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe. Above, revellers celebrate the 50th anniversary in 1995 . Singer Dame Vera Lynn, the Forces’ Sweetheart who will be 98 on Friday, was among those who called on the Government to do more to mark what is likely to be the last major anniversary at which the generation that fought at home and abroad in the war is able to gather in strength. Last month David Cameron responded and asked Cabinet minister William Hague to draw up plans for three days of national commemorations, which he unveiled yesterday. Party leaders, senior royals, veterans and organisations whose members played a part in the war effort will gather on May 8 to mark a day of remembrance at the Cenotaph in London. The timing will make it an even more extraordinary occasion, starting as final results are announced for a general election most pollsters predict will result in another hung Parliament. Ministers and their shadows are likely to gather not knowing with any certainty who will be in power after any coalition negotiations. At 3pm, the moment on May 8 1945 that Winston Churchill declared an end to war in Europe, there will be a two-minute silence across the country. Schools are being encouraged to hold events and observe the silence. On the Friday evening, a chain of more than 100 beacons will be lit at locations from Unst in the Shetlands to Lowestoft in Suffolk. Crowds cheer and wave outside Buckingham Palace on VE Day in 1945 as the King and Queen appear on the balcony . Party leaders are expected to gather at the Cenotaph during the festivities. Above, Winston Churchill waves to gathered crowds on May 8 1945 . On Saturday May 9, communities are being encouraged to organise street parties. At 11am churches and cathedrals are being asked to ring their bells, as they did in 1945. The celebrity Forties-themed concert that evening in Horse Guards Parade, behind Downing Street, will be shown on BBC1. Then on the Sunday, May 10, a service of thanksgiving will be held at Westminster Abbey, followed by a parade of Armed Forces personnel and veterans from the war. They will march past the balcony of the Treasury where Churchill made his famous appearance in front of the crowds on VE Day. There will be a flypast of modern and Second World War aircraft and a display of period vehicles in St James’s Park. Mr Hague

Lazing on the beach in the perfect Spanish sunshine and partying into the night in Ibiza is fine, but that was before tourists had the chance to play their own version of Total Wipeout at sea. Ocean Mania is inspired by the stunt TV franchise, for which the UK version is hosted by Top Gear's Richard Hammond, and just like the show daredevils get the chance to throw themselves about on a range of wacky obstacles.

A person's sexual orientation can determine how much money they will earn according to a new report that claims gay men face discrimination from employers. Based on the personal information provided by over 10,000 people in the 2012 Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, the report states that lesbians earn 33 per cent more than heterosexual women. However the reason for the extra pay is due to the survey sample noting that they work about 20 per cent more hours, the University of Melbourne's Mark Wooden said. Based on the personal information provided by over 10,000 people in the 2012 Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, the report states that lesbians earn 33 per cent more than heterosexual women . 'One explanation for the increased earnings and longer work hours of lesbians might be that this group are less likely to have children than heterosexual women,' he said. The HILDA Survey recorded that only 22 per cent of lesbian women between the ages of 30 and 49 had children three years ago, compared to almost 60 per cent of straight women. Gay men on the other hand, were found to earn about 20 per cent less than heterosexual men due to a lower rate of earnings' growth. The gap in pay only worsened for those who lived with a partner, despite lesbians living with their significant other recording higher wages than those without. 'We found that the wages of gay men are growing at a much slower rate than the wages of heterosexual males,' Prof Wooden said. University of Melbourne's (pictured) Mark Wooden said gay men were found to earn about 20 per cent less than heterosexual men due to a lower rate of earnings' growth . 'Gay males who are most likely to be observably gay by employers—those who live with a same-sex partner—face larger earnings penalties than those who are discreet about their sexuality.' The report added that 'gay men are 16 per cent less likely to be employed and are substantially more likely to have several periods of joblessness than heterosexual men'. Although admitting that numerous factors contribute to the varying earnings across sexual orientation, Professor Wooden admitted that 'employer discrimination is likely a major part of the explanation for these wage gaps, especially in the case of gay men'. The findings are outlined in the Sexual Identity, Earnings, and Labour Market Dynamics: New Evidence from Longitudinal Data in Australia report.

Summary: Lesbians earn 33% more than heterosexual woman and work 20% more . This is believed to be because they were less likely to have children . Gay men were found to earn about 20% less than heterosexual men due to a lower rate of earnings growth . The data is based on the information provided by over 10,000 people in the 2012 Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey .

It's the call centre accused of plaguing Britain with an incredible six million calls a day. Now The Mail on Sunday can reveal the chequered background of the man responsible – involving disputes with famous names and a string of failed businesses. Russell Church is the main shareholder in a company that is currently under investigation for bombarding its victims, including the elderly and vulnerable, with unsolicited nuisance calls selling debt management and payment protection insurance (PPI) claims services. Earlier this month the cold-call 'factory' based at an anonymous business complex in Hove, East Sussex, was raided by the Information Commissioner's Office, which is responsible for the enforcement of the Data Protection Act. Russell Church is the main shareholder in a company that is currently under investigation for bombarding its victims, including the elderly and vulnerable, with unsolicited nuisance calls . The firm is reported to hold a staggering 90 million phone numbers that it repeatedly calls using sophisticated technology. Mr Church has a decidedly questionable past that includes: . Mr Church began his career as an entrepreneur in the mid-1980s in Brighton, where he lived until recently with his wife in a £1.6 million property. The 54-year-old has been the director of 19 companies, mostly relating to the publishing industry. But official records show that 18 of these firms have been dissolved, owing £3.4 million to creditors. In 2009 Mr Church was banned by the Department for Business for four years from setting up another business after it was discovered that four of his firms had failed to pay taxes and National Insurance payments totalling £120,000. Nuisance: Anne Diamond took legal action against Church . Russell Church was the target of Anne Diamond's fury over a comic strip. Ms Diamond, left, and her then husband Mike Hollingsworth brought legal action against Church's company, Humour Publications, following a cartoon in Zit magazine. It imagined an affair between Ms Diamond and football legend Jack Charlton that resulted in a baby resembling ET – the infant was shown in a cot. The TV star took offence because it came out shortly after the tragic cot death of her four-month-old son Sebastian. Mr Church's lawyer, Matthew Higdon, said the cartoon went to press before the death of Ms Diamond's child, adding: 'The timing was therefore most unfortunate and entirely unintended by the editor. The action was settled on that basis and for the sake of expediency.' A spokesman for Church said: 'He was left mortified over the situation. 'The complaint was settled, and that decision was the correct course of action.' A representative for Ms Diamond confirmed that action was brought against the magazine. Mr Church has also been the subject of a number of legal actions involving high-profile names. The first of these lawsuits was brought by Ms Diamond and her then husband, TV executive Mike Hollingsworth, in 1991 over what they believed to be an offensive cartoon published in a magazine owned by Mr Church. In 1996, he landed in hot water again when his company Celebrity Publications brought out Boyzone's official magazine.

It's a revival of a period drama classic, so the seven million viewers who tune in to BBC1’s new hit Poldark would be forgiven for thinking they had seen some of the characters before. But, as these pictures show, it’s not just the 1970s original that the new cast bear uncanny similarities to... Ross Poldark's first love Elizabeth, as played by Heida Reed, shares the cool beauty and brunette tresses of Dancing On Ice host Christine Bleakley, the fiancee of footballer Frank Lampard. The One Show, which Christine used to present, just became The Two Show... Doubles: Helda Reed, left, who plays Poldark's first love Elizabeth, has stunning similarities to Christine Bleakley (right) Handsome leading man Aidan Turner oozes the same rugged, brooding sex appeal of tragic INXS frontman Michael Hutchence in his portrayal of Captain Ross Poldark. Poldark-a-likes: He's been turning heads as the new Poldark and it's easy to see why when he looks like tragic INXS frontman Michael Hutchence . The Australian rocker may have sung Never Tear Us Apart… but in this case Never Tell Us Apart might be more accurate. He might not be known for having the voice of an angel, but actor Kyle Soller, who plays Francis Poldark, still resembles choirboy-turned-broadcaster Aled Jones. Choirboy faces: Kyle Soller, who plays Francis Poldark (right) is the double of Aled Jones . Just don’t try to imagine him singing Walking In The Air in a dubious Cornish accent... Poldark’s drunken servant Jud Paynter and his buxom wife Prudie have a couple of comedy doppelgangers. What a couple: Podark's servant and his wife look similar to a couple of other familiar characters (below) Albert Steptoe, played by Wilfrid Brambell and Beatie Edney, aka Dawn French, could be mistaken for Poldark characters Jud and Prudie Paynter (above) Phil Davis’s scoundrel resembles sitcom rag-and-bone man Albert Steptoe (Wilfrid Brambell), and Beatie Edney looks like Vicar Of Dibley star Dawn French as she appeared in Lark Rise To Candleford. Edney is actually the daughter of another acting icon – Sylvia Sims. As volatile Captain Blamey, Richard Harrington is a million miles from laid-back charmer Des O’Connor. But put them both in a waistcoat and cravat – as Des wore on stage in The Wizard Of Oz – and the similarities are more obvious. Performers: Not alike in character but Captain Blamey ot Richard Harrington and Des O'Connor are not too different in a waistcoat and cravat . Fiery, flame-haired and prone to scandalising polite society, Poldark temptress Demelza, Eleanor Tomlinson, bears more than a physical similarity to Christine Keeler, the showgirl at the centre of the 1963 Profumo affair. Red-haired beauties: Poldark temptress Demelza, Eleanor Tomlinson (right) looks much like Christine Keeler, the showgirl at the centre of the 1963 Profumo affair .

Allegations that a secret undercover police unit carried out spying operations on Labour MPs need to be investigated immediately, Nick Clegg demanded this morning. The Deputy Prime Minister said the idea that elected politicians were being 'snooped on' because of their views 'appalled' him and urged the Home Secretary Theresa May to order a wider probe into undercover police tactics to investigate allegations. It comes after a former officer, Peter Francis, said he read files on 10 MPs during his 11 years working for the Metropolitan Police's now notorious Special Demonstration Squad. The Deputy Prime Minister said the idea that elected politicians were being 'snooped on' because of their views 'appalled' him . He said the files included Labour's now deputy leader Harriet Harman , former cabinet minister Peter Hain and Jack Straw, later home secretary. Details about the targets were collected by officers infiltrating anti-racism and other left wing political groups, and apparently continued after they were elected to Parliament. The former officer claimed he personally collected information on Diane Abbott, Jeremy Corbyn and the late Bernie Grant and said special branch collected intelligence on Ken Livingstone, Joan Ruddock, Dennis Skinner, and Tony Benn. The pink files were 'very extensive' he said, and included details of a subject's political beliefs, family relationships, personal background, education, and finances. Some contained details of 'personal and private matters', he said. If true, the files on many of the subjects existed years after they entered Parliament. Four of those on his list became ministers during his time in Special Branch. The revelations prompted demands for a forthcoming public inquiry into undercover policy to be widened to include the new allegations. Speaking on LBC this morning, Mr Clegg said the allegations, if true, were 'absolutely terrible'. He said: 'The idea that the police snooping and monitoring elected politicians in effect because of their views - because they were deemed to be from the left, that they were somehow dodgy - it absolutely appalls me. 'I know there's an inquiry into undercover police tactics and I very much hope it will look at these allegations because they are not the kind of thing you want in a free society. 'Politicians, regardless of their views, should be able to represent their constituents and express their opinions without being monitored by the police.' A secret undercover police unit carried out spying operations on now deputy Labour leader Harriet Harman (left) and former foreign secretary Jack Straw . Mr Francis was an undercover officer between 1993 and 1997 in the now disbanded Special Demonstrations Squad. He infiltrated left wing groups and causes which were deemed to potentially pose a threat to national security. He told the BBC: 'When I was deployed undercover in the Special Demonstration Squad, any MP that I came across, such as on demonstrations, I would report back on them'. 'When they became MPs these files carried on. It [was] your duty as an SDS officer to report back any intelligence that you come across.' 'I felt that it was OK to report back on MPs,' he

Switch off? The sale of halogen bulbs could be banned as part of the EU's energy-saving drive . The sale of halogen bulbs which are used in millions of homes could be banned as early as next year as part of the EU’s energy-saving drive. It follows the prohibition of traditional incandescent bulbs, which have been phased out in an effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Millions of halogen bulbs are sold in Britain every year, often for use in kitchen and bathroom spotlights. Any ban could consequently cause enormous inconvenience. The European Commission and green campaigners say halogens are not much more efficient than traditional bulbs so should be replaced by energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs – known as CFLs – and LEDs. Yet these alternatives can be as much as 15 times more expensive. There is the additional problem that some LEDs do not work with the dimmer switches and wiring circuits currently used by halogen bulbs, while CFLs can take up to five minutes to reach full brightness. The EC is due to hold a vote on the issue in April, when it could agree to go ahead with the proposed 2016 ban or push back the date to 2018. Consumer group Which? argued there are good reasons for a delay. A spokesman said: ‘Half of Which? members still have halogen bulbs in their home and more than two in five have halogen spotlights. Delaying the ban until 2018 would allow more time for some of the compatibility and user issues to be resolved.’ And a campaign group of manufacturers called LightingEurope is demanding any ban on halogens is delayed until 2020 at the earliest, in order to minimise the impact on consumers and the industry. The group’s secretary general, Diederik de Stoppelaar, said: ‘A phase-out before 2020 is going to be costly and inconvenient to consumers. The industry supports the change to more energy efficient lighting... however, an earlier date does not allow for alternative developing technologies to be widely available.’ But Which? added that despite the inconvenience, there are some positives to switching. The new bulbs last longer and, because they are more energy efficient, they will cut electricity bills over time. Typically, halogens use 10 per cent less energy than incandescent bulbs, while CFLs use 60-80 per cent less and LEDs up to 90 per cent less. LED lights are so efficient that a 5-watt bulb is, in theory, equivalent to a 35-watt halogen. But while a typical 35-watt halogen spotlight costs about £1, a 5-watt LED can be anything from £5 to £15. The managing director of British lighting company BLT Direct, Steven Ellwood, supports the 2016 ban. He said: ‘We understand the concerns of experts who want to delay the ban in order to iron out some issues. [But] implementing the ban sooner rather than later would see plenty of benefits for consumers, not to mention the environment.’ Other advocates of the 2016 deadline argue that the energy savings for Britain as a whole could be so large that it would eliminate the risk of

Summary: Follows ban of incandescent bulbs in bid to cut greenhouse gas emissions . Campaigners say halogens not much more efficient than traditional bulbs . So should be replaced by energy-saving compact fluorescent bulbs . But these alternatives (known as CFLs and LEDs) can be as much as 15 times more expensive .
