The probe into an alleged paedophile network at the heart of the British Establishment took an explosive turn last night with the revelation that Enoch Powell’s name has been passed to police. The Mail on Sunday can reveal that the late Tory MP, one of the most prominent and divisive politicians of the 20th Century, has been named to Scotland Yard by the Bishop of Durham. The claims relate to ‘ritual satanic abuse’. And in a further development to the sex-ring investigations, police are to be given access to secret files held on MPs in the House of Commons archives as they hunt for evidence on suspected abusers, including former Liberal MP Cyril Smith. Scroll down for video . Historic: Enoch Powell's name was first linked to sex abuse claims in the 1980s . The Bishop of Durham, Paul Butler, contacted police after Powell’s name was passed to him by a former Bishop of Monmouth, Dominic Walker, who first heard the allegation when he was a vicar counselling young adults in the 1980s. The claim is being examined by Operation Fenbridge, one of a number of police probes into ‘Establishment paedophile rings’ – including an investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission into claims that officers dropped their inquiries under pressure from powerful individuals. A Church of England spokesman said: ‘The name of Enoch Powell was passed to Operation Fenbridge by one of our safeguarding team on the instruction of Bishop Paul Butler.' Mr Walker is believed to have warned the Right Rev Butler that at the time he was told of the claims against Powell, unsubstantiated allegations of satanic rituals – often involving the abuse of children – were widespread. In 1994, an investigation by the London School of Economics into 84 alleged cases of ‘satanic abuse’ in the UK between 1987 and 1992, including notorious cases in Rochdale and the Orkneys that involved social workers and police forcibly removing children from their homes in dawn raids, found no convincing corroborative evidence. Report: Paul Butler, the Bishop of Durham, passed the name to Scotland Yard after hearing it from the former Bishop of Monmouth . However, the ongoing scandal over how serial paedophile Jimmy Savile was able to evade detection for decades has led institutions to take a safety-first approach, so the Church felt it had no option but to pass on the information to police. Enoch Powell’s frontline political career ended abruptly in 1968 after he made his infamous ‘rivers of blood’ speech warning about the dangers of uncontrolled immigration. Tory leader Edward Heath sacked him from the Shadow Cabinet the following day, although Powell remained an MP until 1974. Shortly after he died in 1998, aged 85, it was revealed he had admitted to a friend, Canon Eric James, that love poetry he had written as a youth had been intended for a man – but that he did not want the fact revealed while he was alive. Although Powell became a hero of the Right, his intellectual and oratorical skills earned him admirers on both sides of the

Claim being examined by Operation Fenbridge - one of several such probes . Simon Heffer, Powell’s official biographer, branded allegations 'nonsense’

Government employees have been caught stealing students' personal information to apply for loans, credit cards and set up new cell phone accounts,Daily Mail Online has learned. Reports on breaches of staff conduct inside the Department of Education shows how workers stole social security numbers from a database while a man was fired for trying to look up President Barack Obama’s student loan records. Cyber security campaigners warned that the failure to protect sensitive information because of 'bureaucratic incompetence' is just the 'tip of the iceberg'. Scroll down for documents . Identify theft: Reports from the Department of Education revealed officials tried to steal social security numbers from a database while another was disciplined for trying to look up President Obama’s student loans . Insiders involved in illicit breaches are often overlooked, simply because the public think hackers and cybercriminals are more often to blame, they said. Lee Tien, senior staff attorney and Adams Chair for Internet Rights at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told the Daily Mail Online 'insiders are frequently part of the breach story'. He added that entities - especially the government - need to uphold their duty to safeguard other people's personal information. Berin Szoka, the president of Tech Freedom, insisted some of the privacy issues come from within the government. 'As usual, the real privacy problem is government. Big Brother surveillance at the NSA is bad enough,' he told the Daily Mail Online. 'But bureaucratic incompetence can be far bigger problem. Failing to protect sensitive student loan data is just the tip of the iceberg of poor data security inside government.' According to the documents - obtained by the Daily Mail Online through a Freedom of Information Act request - a number of government employees set up an illicit scheme to steal students' information. One woman created a bogus Department of Education account to access the National Student Loan Data System to aid her criminal plot. While accessing the records, she would extract information from individual accounts. She swapped around the last four digits of her SSN with those of another during the scheme, and set up the fake identity to apply for credit cards, personal loans and set up a Sprint cell phone account. An internal investigation within the department found she went into the database 24 times between 2006 and 2009 to retrieve the information. Just 24 hours after searching through the database on one occasion in 2009, the documents revealed she applied for a personal loan. Concerns: Cyber security campaigners have warned that failing to protect sensitive information because of 'bureaucratic incompetence' is just the 'tip of the iceberg'. Pictured is the Department for Education's Washington headquarters . The unidentified employee was arrested and charged in 2011 for stealing more than $500 using the stolen details. One of the documents related to her case reads: 'It appears [the employee] did not have a business reason to run either name in the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS).' After pleading guilty, she was sentenced to 18 months in jail with a 17-month suspended sentence. However, according to

Summary: One employee used students' personal information to apply for a loan . A number of other workers were also involved in the illicit scheme . Created 'bogus' social security details related to another person . Another government employee lost their job for trying to access Obama's student loan files in 2011 . A third was probed last year for promoting his own business using government phones and computers at the taxpayers' expense . Cyber security campaigners said this is just the 'tip of the iceberg' and 'bureaucratic incompetence' could put personal information at risk .


Cerebral palsy sufferer Sophie Thomlinson will finally have the operation which will enable her to walk – thanks to Daily Mail readers . She was turned down for life-changing surgery on the NHS. But cerebral palsy sufferer Sophie Thomlinson will finally have the operation which will enable her to walk – thanks to Daily Mail readers. The three-year-old was denied NHS funding last year for the surgery at the same Leeds hospital trust which gave aspiring glamour model Josie Cunningham breast enlargements. And even when readers raised £55,000 to pay for Sophie’s surgery her family were told by NHS doctors she was ‘not disabled enough’ to qualify – despite not being able to walk. But the toddler has now been approved to have the procedure carried out by pioneering surgeon Dr Tae Park in the United States this autumn. It means that, by the time she is four, Sophie could be walking. Sophie was born prematurely with spastic diplegia – a form of cerebral palsy. She needs the selective dorsal rhizotomy surgery, which involves cutting the nerves in her spine, to be able to walk freely. Sophie has strengthened her legs ahead of the operation using a specially-adapted £1,200 bicycle bought from readers’ donations. Doctors said this means she is an ‘ideal candidate’ for the surgery and is likely to be able to walk completely unaided afterwards. Sophie’s mother Allison, 41, a nurse, said she burst into tears when they got the news she had been approved. She said: ‘Sophie wiped my face and she said “Mummy why are you crying?” I told her she was going to be able to walk and she said “Yes!”. ‘By the time she is four she could be walking. It’s very, very emotional, we just can’t believe it. ‘It is frustrating that Leeds turned us down but now we know that Sophie is going to have the best surgeon, so that is more reassuring. If anything goes wrong at least we know we did everything we could for her. ‘As it gets nearer I’m sure the nerves will kick in - it’s a big operation. But it’s what she needs and it’s the best thing for her. ‘Sophie understands now that she is going to walk. She knows Dr Park will “fix her legs” and she knows she is going on a big plane to get there.’ The three-year-old was denied NHS funding last year for the surgery, but she has now been approved to have the procedure carried out by pioneering surgeon Dr Tae Park in the U.S. Sophie’s mother Allison, 41, a nurse, said she burst into tears when they got the news she had been approved. She said: ‘If it wasn’t for the Daily Mail we wouldn’t be where we are now' Mrs Thomlinson said Sophie had progressed to standing up on her own since using the bike bought from readers’ funds, which meant doctors had told her they were ‘confident’ she would be able to walk after surgery. She added: ‘If it wasn’t for the Daily Mail we wouldn’t be where

Summary: Cerebral palsy sufferer Sophie Thomlinson, from Dukinfield, could not walk . Daily Mail readers raised £55k when NHS denied her funding for surgery . Came after Josie Cunningham got breast enlargement at same Leeds trust . She will now have pioneering surgery, meaning she could walk by age four .

Promising at the altar to have and to hold your loved one, in sickness and in health, may seem like a straightforward pledge. But for men, some elements of the vow can prove easier to keep than others. A study shows that a couple is more likely to divorce if the wife falls ill. The researchers said their results indicate that some men simply cannot cope with a poorly spouse. A study shows that a couple is more likely to divorce if the wife falls ill and researchers said their results indicate that some men simply cannot cope with a poorly spouse . After tracking 2,700 couples in the US from 1992 to 2010, the American team found that divorce levels were roughly the same between healthy couples and those in which the husband suffered sickness. But when disease hit the wife, the likelihood of divorce rose. Every two years the researchers interviewed the couples and asked whether either of them had been ill since their last session. Over the 18 years, 859 marriages ended in divorce, 32 per cent of the sample group. For 24 per cent of the couples, tragedy struck when one spouse died, and 44 per cent were still going strong by the time the study ended. But among the 965 couples in which the woman got sick, the rate of divorce was 6 per cent higher. Lead author Amelia Karraker, assistant professor in family studies at Iowa State University, said illness can add stress to a marriage because men may not be as attuned to taking on a caregiver role as women. ‘There is a difference between feeling too sick to make dinner and needing someone to actually feed you,’ she said. ‘That’s something that can really change the dynamics within a marriage. If your spouse is too sick to work, we know that financial strain is a major predictor of divorce.’ Dr Karraker said wives may also become dissatisfied with their husbands’ ability to look after them. She added: ‘Life or death experiences may cause people to re-evaluate what is important in their lives. ‘It could be that women are saying, “You’re doing a bad job of caring for me or I wasn’t happy with the relationship to begin with, and I’d rather be alone than in a bad marriage.”’ The research was published in the Journal of Health and Social Behaviour.

A 13-year-old boy, whose mystery illness bound him to a wheelchair with a feeding tube, has made a miraculous recovery after years of suffering thanks to his determined mother who scoured the internet for answers as to why he was in excruciating pain. According to the Today show, Bobby Leithauser, from Marco Island, Florida, was originally diagnosed with dysautonomia, a malfunction in the autonomic nervous system, and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a tissue disorder - but the conditions didn't account for all of his ailments, which included stomach afflictions, loss of vision and agonizing neck pain. Refusing to accept her son’s initial diagnosis, Bobby's mom, Keri Leithauser, began researching his symptoms online, and came across the work of Dr. Harold Rekate, a neurosurgeon at the Cohen Children's Medical Center in New York, who soon discovered her son had a Chiari malformation, a treatable, yet rare condition that affects the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls balance. Scroll down for video . Miraculous discovery: Bobby Leithauser, 13, suffered from a painful mystery illness for years before being diagnosed with a Chiari malformation, a rare condition that affects the part of the brain that controls balance . Needing a cure: Bobby's parents, Keri and Tom Keri Leithauser, explained that their son started having crippling stomach pain when he was only nine-years-old, requiring him to have a feeding tube . Last December, Dr Rekate operated on Bobby, performing a surgery that he had invented, to fix the condition which cause his spine to press into his brain. Three months later, Bobby recalled the days after his surgery, saying he 'couldn't believe' his unbearable pain was gone after years of suffering. The teen's health problems seemingly came out of nowhere when he was only nine years old, when the once-active child began to experience crippling stomach pain, prompting his parents to start limiting his food to the point that he was only consuming blueberries and chicken. But despite their best efforts, his ailments continued. Next came headaches, tremors and an inability to control his body temperature or regulate his blood pressure. But even after Bobby was diagnosed with dysautonomia and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, his physical suffering continued. Difficult prognosis: Bobby, who was active as a boy, found himself bound to a wheelchair after his condition worsened . 'It was really horrendous pain and I couldn't hold my head up for more than 10 minutes at a time,' Bobby explained. As his condition worsened, his worried mom began doing research on the internet and contacted other parents whose children had similar issues. Chiari malformations are caused by structural defects in the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms include dizziness, muscle weakness, numbness, vision problems, headaches and problems with balance and coordination. Chiari malformations mostly occur during fetal development, although they may develop later in life after injury, infection or exposure to toxic substances . It was once believed that Chiari malformations occurred in only one in every 1,000 births, but research shows that they appear to be more common. Babies who are born with Chiari malformations don't develop symptoms

Summary: Bobby Leithauser, from Marco Island, Florida, started experiencing crippling stomach pain when he was only nine years old . As his mysterious condition worsened, he was put in a wheelchair, given a feeding tube and started experiencing vision loss in addition to his pain . His mom Keri’s research led the family to Dr. Harold Rekate, a neurosurgeon in New York who diagnosed the teen with a rare brain condition . Three months after surgery, Bobby is making a full recovery .

Theresa May has launched an official inquiry into undercover policing following revelations officers had sex with women they were spying on and even adopted the identities of dead babies. The Home Secretary appointed senior judge Lord Justice Pitchford to head the inquiry, which will focus on Scotland Yard's controversial Special Demonstration Squad. It comes amid revelations that more than 100 women may have been deceived into having sexual relationships with undercover police officers. Theresa May has launched an official inquiry into undercover policing following revelations officers had sex with women they were spying on and even adopted the identities of dead babies . A group of women are now taking legal action against the police over the emotional trauma they suffered. One women even had a child with a former Special Branch detective who was tasked with infiltrating the Animal Liberation Front in the 1980s. The unnamed woman only discovered her son's father was the undercover policeman Bob Lambert in 2012 after he was outed by other campaigners. The woman, known as Jacqui, received £425,000 in compensation from the Metropolitan Police last year. Mrs May today published an independent review into whether the Home Office knew what was going with undercover police officers. It found there was no evidence the department was aware of undercover officers' use of fake identities taken from dead children or the risk of officers forming relationships under false pretences with individuals they were spying on. The Special Demonstration Squad unit carried out undercover operations into 18 justice campaigns - including the families of Jean Charles de Menezes (left), who was shot by police after being mistaken for a terrorist, and the murdered black teenager Stephen Lawrence (right) In the official inquiry into undercover operations Appeal Court judge Lord Justice Pitchford will have the power to compel witnesses to give evidence, said the Home Office. Mrs May announced her intention to set up a judge-led public inquiry following the report of the independent Ellison Inquiry in March 2014, which found that Scotland Yard had spied on the family of murdered black teenager Stephen Lawrence. And the separate police-led Operation Herne found that the now-defunct Special Demonstration Squad unit had carried out undercover operations to collect information on 18 justice campaigns over the course of 35 years - including that of Jean Charles de Menezes, who was shot by police after being mistaken for a terrorist. Scotland Yard chief Bernard Hogan Howe was forced to pay out more than £400,000 to a women who had a child with an undercover officer posing as a campaigner . Set up in 1968 to infiltrate pressure groups and operational until 2008, the Special Demonstration Squad has been the focus of intense controversy in recent years over claims that undercover officers had sexual relationships and even fathered children with campaigners to help build trust in their false identities. Announcing the Pitchford Inquiry, Mrs May said: 'The work of Mark Ellison and Operation Herne has unearthed serious historical failings in undercover policing practices. As I said last year, I was profoundly shocked by Mark

Shamed: Rolf Harris was jailed for 12 indecent assaults against four girls between 1968 and 1986 . Shamed former children's entertainer Rolf Harris has received tax and VAT rebates amounting to almost £200,000. The paedophile, 84, placed two of his companies - Rolf Harris Enterprises and Rhel Holdings into liquidation - and accounts reveal he and his wife were left with a windfall of £1.2 million. This included a £148,000 tax refund, plus they were entitled to an additional £48,000 in the form of a VAT refund, it has been reported. The total figure is £196,000 and it's believed Harris will give the majority of his fortune to his wife Alwen and his daughter Bindi, according to The Sun. Harris was jailed in July last year for 12 indecent assaults against four girls between 1968 and 1986. Last month it was revealed Harris could be earning as much as £1,300 a day from his prison cell thanks to his shrewd investments. ‘He is a convicted paedophile and yet he is making a large sum of money,’ a source close to his finances told the Sunday People. Harris invested much of his multi-million pound earnings from his long-running career as a TV star, musician and artist. At the time of his sentencing, his companies were worth £8.5 million, the Sunday People reported. New figures suggest his earnings have shot by £290,000, according to the newspaper. Harris also owns a home on the River Thames and his total assets could be worth more than £15 million. His oldest company, Rolf Harris Enterprises, was launched in 1963 and Rhel Holdings was set up in January 2012. Earlier this week, Harris was stripped of the CBE that was awarded to him by the Queen. The move came eight months after he was jailed for nearly six years for the attacks. The former children's star had his honour annulled at the order of the Queen, days after being stripped of his Australian honours. Officials at the Cabinet Office had been accused of dragging their feet over the issue, but sources insisted they had to follow established procedures before removing the gong. Rebates: Rolf Harris is expected to give most of his fortune to his wife Alwen (right) and his daughter Bindi . Harris was first honoured in the late 1960s with an MBE, followed by an OBE a decade later, and a CBE in 2006. Harris was the second person to be convicted under a wide-ranging police investigation set up in the wake of revelations that the late Jimmy Savile, a fellow BBC star, was a prolific abuser.

Coyote populations are increasing throughout New Jersey as the creature, once confined to the West, continues to migrate through the Canadian Great Lakes region and towards New England. Ms Sofer said the coyotes had been using the doghouse since Saturday and could be seen leaving early in the mornings, NBC New York reported. Her daughter Maayan said: 'One time I even thought it was my mom screaming. It's so loud it's like shrieking noises. It is really scary.' The animals have adapted to living in close quarters with humans and have learned to navigate tasks associated with built-up areas - such as crossing busy roads and avoiding cars. Over the past few years they have spread to nearly every corner of the United States - wreaking havoc by preying on domestic pets and even attacking children. But the suburban sprawl and increase in out-of-town developments have prompted some to migrate to more urban areas.

Summary: A family's disused rural doghouse has been overrun by a pair of wolves . Lioira Sofer and her daughter kept awake at night by the animals' howling . New Jersey family is desperately hoping to rid themselves of new guests . But police and animal control say there is nothing they can do to help .


ITV’S sporting shake-up continued with Jacqui Oatley brought in as a major player in their football coverage next season. Oatley, who was the first female commentator on BBC’s Match of the Day in 2007, has stepped across to take a major position within ITV 4, where she will anchor football programmes during the 2015-16 season. The highly respected broadcaster will also present ITV’s darts coverage, starting with the PDC European Championship in Belgium at the end of October. Jacqui Oatley has been signed up by ITV and will host football coverage from the start of next season . Oatley has previously worked for the BBC, and was the first female commentator on Match of the Day . The move continues ITV’s major shake-up, which has so far seen Adrian Chiles’ axed earlier this year and replaced by BBC Radio 5Live’s Mark Pougatch. Chiles had led ITV’s Champions League and England coverage, as well as last summer’s World Cup in Brazil. Long-standing pundit Andy Townsend has also been told his contract will not be renewed when it expires in the summer, along with Matt Smith, whose position as the broadcaster’s secondary football reporter has been taken by Oatley. Niall Sloane, ITV Director of Sport, said yesterday: ‘Jacqui’s outstanding knowledge and experience make her a first class addition to the ITV Sport team. We look forward to welcoming her on board in September.’ Oatley, who has previously presented football programmes on ITV, including the FA Cup and Africa Cup of Nations, added: ‘I'm delighted to have been asked to join the ITV team from next season. ‘I've had a fantastic time working with them over the last couple of years and look forward to continuing that relationship at major tournaments.’ Oatley added that her new role will not see her cut ties with the BBC, where she has also fronted the Football League Show and covered snooker, golf, motor racing and the Olympic Games. Oatley tweeted: ‘I’m not leaving the Beeb as such. Still hosting the WWC [women’s World Cup] coverage in summer and match reporting, etc next season. Love covering live games.’ Having lost live Champions League and Europa League football from next season, ITV’s only live football beyond outside major tournaments will be England’s international fixtures and other European qualifiers. However, they will show highlights of both UEFA club competitions next seasons.

Summary: Jacqui Oatley is to join ITV's football coverage from next season . She will present football, and darts, on both ITV4 and the main channel . Oatley was the first female commentator on BBC's Match of the Day . She says she is delighted to have been asked to join the ITV team .


A Russian woman has been jailed after trying to hire a hitman to kill her daughter-in-law after she got fed up with her jokes. Tatiana Kudinova, 50, told police daughter-in-law Roxanne, 30, kept making fun of the fact that she was less well off, and decided she wanted her dead. However, the man Kudinova paid to kill Roxanne turned out to be an undercover police officer, and she was arrested. Murderous mother-in-law: Tatiana Kudinova, left, hired a hitman to kill her 30-year-old daughter-in-law Roxanne after she got tired of the latter making fun of her financial situation . Kudinova claims she fell out with her daughter-in-law after a party when the pair started arguing about who should pay for the food for the guests. After this, she says Roxanne kept making jokes about her being a 'skinflint mother-in-law', which irritated her so much she wanted her dead. Kudinova, from Rostov, southern Russia, then contacted a local criminal gang, offering them £1,200 to kill Roxanne. According to police, Kudinova told the gang; 'I don't care how she dies, I only want you to kill her' What she did not realise was that the man she paid a £600 deposit to was in fact an undercover policeman. Caught: The 'local criminal' Kudinova paid to kill her daughter-in-law was, in fact, an undercover police officer . Officers then devised an elaborate sting to catch Kudinova by faking Roxanne's death and taking photos of her 'corpse'. A police spokesman said: 'We needed to catch her in the act of paying for the murder and giving an advance payment was not enough. 'So we arranged for it to appear as though the daughter-in-law was dead, covered her in fake blood and took photos to convince the woman that the hit had taken place. 'She was arrested after handing over the rest of the money to one of of our undercover officers.\n\n . Appearing in court, the judge told her: 'You are an evil, callous woman who sought to destroy someone's life and ruin the happiness of your son. 'You did this because of a few jokes.' Kudinova was sentenced to nine years in prison.

Summary: Russian woman, 50, hired 'thugs' to kill daughter-in-law, 30 . She had gotten tired of being teased about being poor . Tatiana Kudinova, 50, offered £1,200 for the murder . 'Hitman' she paid was in fact an undercover police officer .


Women are grossly underrepresented in professional football, both in terms of TV coverage of female games and in the number of women working in the male section of the sport. Those that do venture into men's football are often subjected to regular abuse - according to the campaign group Women In Football, two thirds of females working in the industry have been on the receiving end of sexual harassment. So a female lineswoman who was filmed talking back to the Ponte Preta footballer Biro Biro during the Campeonato Paulista match on Sunday has been heralded a hero by fellow members of her sex. Scroll down for video . Tatiane approaches Ponte Preta footballer Biro Biro to argue back against a criticism he had about one of her decisions . During the match between Sao Paulo and Ponte Preta, lineswoman Tatiane Sacilotti is seen to signal a throw-in. But Biro Biro is not happy with the decision and heads over to Tatiane to give her a dressing down. Unimpressed with the attack, Tatiane takes it upon herself to follow Biro back down the pitch, arguing back furiously. Shocked by the comeback, Biro then walks off with a wave of his hand, so Tatiane heads back to her post with a fuming backwards glance. The clip has since been shared hundreds of times on social network sites. @CANNCDavis wrote on Twitter 'Looool Tatiane Sacilotti has made my day she was not having it.' Another said: 'Brazilian lineswoman puts abusive player back in his box.' Tatiane is furious as she follows Biro Biro up the pitch . As Biro Biro is shocked into heading back onto the pitch, Tatiane heads back to her post, shooting a glowering look back at her opponent . It isn't the first time in recent years that a lineswoman has been headline news. In January 2011, TV commentators Andy Gray and Richard Keys, who apparently believed their microphones were switched off, were recorded making disparaging remarks about Sian Massey, 25, before Liverpool’s Premiership clash with Wolves. Commenting on Ms Massey, Mr Keys said: ‘Somebody better get down there and explain offside to her.’ Mr Gray, a former Scottish international footballer, replied: ‘Can you believe that? A female linesman. Women don’t know the offside rule.’ Mr Keys replied: ‘Course they don’t. I can guarantee you there will be a big one today. 'Kenny (Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish) will go potty. This isn’t the first time, is it? Didn’t we have one before?’ Gray’s contract was immediately terminated by Sky Sports' managing director Barney Francis for unacceptable behaviour, while Keys resigned soon after. Name: Tatiane Sacilotti Dos Santos Camargo . Born: Brazil, February 10, 1986 . Age: 29 . Job title: Assistant referee . Tatiana faced much abuse during her junior years as a referee, including being spat at by fans. By 2011, she had graduated to the premier league in Brazil though, where she has stayed ever since. Tatiana's dream is to work up the career ladder at FIFA and her idol is the Brazilian referee Luis Flavio de Oliveira. To

A woman charged for her attack on a vision-impaired bus passenger on the Gold Coast has been spared jail time, despite an appeal from the Attourney- General for a harsher sentence. Footage of Larna Jane Watmough, 22, and her friend Layni Cameron attacking 77-year-old Paul Buttigieg caused national outrage when it went viral in February 2014. Former Queensland Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie appealed the two-month suspended sentence handed down to Ms Watmough, saying the punishment was ‘manifestly inadequate’. Scroll down for video . Remorseful: Ms Watmough is lucky to have avoided a jail sentence after former Attorney-General, Jarrod Bleijie, appealed for a harsher penalty . Judge Paul Smith agreed the sentence was inadequate given the vicious and unprovoked nature of the crime. Ms Watmough’s case was reviewed and although her sentence was tripled to six months, it remains wholly suspended. This means Ms Watmough has been spared jail time for the second time, with Judge Smith attributing this to her genuine remorse, limited criminal history, employment and rehabilitation. Ms Watmough has also reportedly stopped taking drugs. ‘I note that (Watmough) has been employed since the sentence; continues to report to the probation office; has paid the compensation ordered; and continues to see a psychologist,’ Judge Smith outlined in a written decision on Monday. The new six-month suspended sentence started in September 2014 and will expire in a fortnight. Ms Watmough penned a remorseful letter to Mr Buttigieg detailing her involvement with the elderly community and apologising for her actions. The 21-year-old presented a handwritten note to the court apologising to the man for the incident in February when footage went viral of Watmough and friend Layni Cameron attacking Paul Buttigieg on a bus in the suburb of Kirra . Despite showing 'genuine remorse' Ms Watmough has been the target for death and rape threats . Judge Smith says Ms Watmough has been subject to extensive public scrutiny after the attack which has negatively affected her mental health. ‘I note there have been death and rape threats against her. She has been depressed as a result of this." The incident occurred after the two young women attended a racing event earlier in the day before catching the bus home from the Tweed Heads Bowls Club. Watmough's co-accused, Cameron, 18, received a three year sentence for her role in the attack. She was out on bail at the time of the attack for robbing a Surfers Paradise store with a knife. Mobile phone footage shot by another passenger showed the two women punching, kicking and spitting at an elderly man while hurling insults .

Summary: Larna Watmough, 22, was charged with seriously assaulting an elderly and vision-impaired man on a Gold Coast bus in February . Mobile phone footage of the incident went viral prompting national backlash including death and rape threats . Attorney-General appealed sentence saying it's 'manifestly inadequate’ Her suspended two-month sentence has been increased to a six-month sentence . Judge says crime was 'vicious and unprovoked', however, Watmough should avoid jail time after showing genuine remorse .


Even when England put what looks like a challenging score on the board they are still brushed aside with contemptuous ease. Not for the first time in this World Cup they seemed like boys in the men’s world of modern one-day cricket. Sri Lanka, with the imperious Kumar Sangakkara to the fore, cruised to their target of 310 here in such a ridiculously easy manner that England appeared just as far away from competing in this tournament as they did when they were thrashed by Australia and New Zealand. It is frightening how far away England seem from the real challengers in this World Cup, astonishing how far they have been left behind in 50-over cricket since they should have won the Champions Trophy less than two years ago.

Thirimanne plays a shot on the way to scoring a century as Sri Lanka made light work of England's bowlers . Thirimanne is almost down on one knee during his knock as he celebrates with Sangakkara (right) England should still reach the quarter-finals – and that in itself tells you all you need to know about the flawed format of this tournament – but it simply seems a matter of time before they are put out of their misery and sent home. The stark reality is that they need to beat Bangladesh and Afghanistan in their last two group games to advance to the last eight and while they should still do that it is fanciful to expect them to defeat anyone of note. England now need to win their next five games to lift the World Cup when they have won just seven of their last 24 one-day internationals. Even winning two on the bounce has proved beyond them in that time, let alone five. As ever it is the hope that gets you. When England had scored 309 for six they looked favourites at a Westpac Stadium where Tim Southee had destroyed them with swing when they were last here just nine days ago. But that was to overlook the sheer quality and experience of the Sri Lankan batting. They defeated England in all formats last summer and thrashed them in a one-day series before Christmas. Here they confirmed their superiority with a masterful display of one-day batting to romp home with 16 balls and nine wickets to spare. England simply never looked like containing nor dismissing them. England, desperate not to be seen to be chopping and changing again, kept faith with Gary Ballance but he looked even more rusty and nervy than in his three previous failures and it was no surprise when he fell cheaply again. England are adamant that Ballance, who averages over 50 in domestic

Summary: England made 309 for 6 in their 50 overs which looked a good score . But Sri Lanka lost just one wicket as they won with something to spare . Lahiru Thirimanne and Kumar Sangakkara both scored centuries . England must now beat Afghanistan and Bangladesh to progress .

A woman has written a lengthy and quite hilarious handwritten letter to her noisy neighbours after enduring four months of sleepless nights due to their incessantly wild nocturnal ways. Sleep-deprived Melbourne based-actor, Lucy Gransbury, even took photographic evidence of the moment she cheekily threw the note over their adjoining fence before running off in hysterics. Also a comedian, Gransbury used her humour in the two-page rant to get her rage across to the party-hard residents who live next door and cause her never-ending grief.

Gransbury even took photographic evidence of the moment she cheekily threw the note over their adjoining fence before running off in hysterics .

'Please turn your funking music down so I can get some funking sleep,' the letter opened with. She then went onto say that she had been living for the past four months next to the culprits and was woken up by them 'all the funking time'. 'Last night, like many other nights, it was at 4.30am, a time of morning that should be reserved for breakfast radio hosts, international flight passengers, and parents of infants,' she said. She signed off with her Twitter handle or if you wanted to follow her in real life just 'head towards the loud house and turn left' Gransbury said she wanted to yell out to them at 5am but wouldn't have been heard over the revving of their friend's engine of their 'sh*thouse fancy ute.'

Criminal charges have been laid against a 26-year-old passenger who was found hiding in the cockpit of a JetBlue plane at one of the busiest airports in the US. Ground crew encountered the man about 30 minutes after JetBlue flight 810 landed at New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He stayed behind while other passengers disembarked following the four-hour flight and then entered the flight deck, where he was sat by the window when he was discovered yesterday.

While he was being removed from the plane he opened an alarm door, but never made it through or escaped the airline workers who were escorting him, NBC New York reported. The man was taken to New York’s Jamaica Hospital Medical Center for observation and then released into the custody of police. JetBlue flight 810 landed at JFK Airport after a four-hour journey from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic . Jarrett Stroud, from Atlantic City, was charged with third-degree criminal trespassing, CBS New York reported. In 2013, a French man was discovered in the cockpit of a US Airways plane in Philadelphia. He unsuccessfully sought a seat upgrade on the Florida-bound flight and used a fraudulent Air France ID card to gain access to the cockpit. The card belonged to a former employee. The man was arrested after he was found in the jump seat behind the pilots’ chairs.

Nick Clegg (above) launched an outspoken pre-election attack on the Tories, who he has spent five years sharing power with . Nick Clegg today launched an outspoken pre-election attack on the Tories he has spent five years sharing power with. The Lib Dem leader used his final conference speech before polling day to mock the 'red-faced bluster of right-wing Tories', compare David Cameron to 'Nigel Farage in White tie', and declare: 'Cows moo. Dogs bark. And Tories cut.' In a desperate plea to be returned to power after May 7, he warned the Tories would not be fair and Labour would ruin the economy. Addressing delegates in Liverpool, Mr Clegg urged his party to 'think big', hailing Britain as an 'open-hearted, open-minded, optimistic country'. Mr Clegg, who was joined on stage by his wife Miriam, said there was nowhere in the world like the UK 'nowhere as gutsy, nowhere as hopeful, nowhere as welcoming'. 'We are a small island, but we are a big, big country,' he added. But he warned this was threatened by Labour and the Conservatives abandoning the centre ground. After years of austerity, he insisted there was now 'light at the end of the tunnel'. 'While the job of fixing our economy is not over yet, the end is in sight.' He said austerity could end in three years' time, but claimed that the Tories wanted to continue cutting public spending far beyond what was necessary. He claimed that 'everywhere you look there is blame and division', including Ukip pandering to fear and Tory Home Secretary Theresa May sending out vans telling migrants to 'Go Home'. And he took aim at the Chancellor, with whom he has spent the last week negotiating the details of Wednesday's Budget. Wife Miriam Gonzalez Durantez (left) and women's minister Jo Swinson (right) listen to the speech . In the speech Clegg claimed that 'everywhere you look there is blame and division', including Ukip pandering to fear and Tory Home Secretary Theresa May sending out vans telling migrants to 'Go Home' He pointed to the 'glint in George Osborne's eye as he announced that the working age poor will bear the brunt of the cuts'. He launched the direct attack on his coalition partners by claiming they posed a threat to education by refusing to protect pre-school and college funding. 'Cows moo. Dogs bark. And Tories cut. It's in their DNA,' he said. The Lib Dems and Tories have clashed over Mr Osborne's plan to rule out any future tax rises and tackle the deficit through cuts alone, including taking another £12billion out of the welfare budget. Mr Clegg claimed this would mean eight million families on the lowest wages would be £1,500 worse off. He said the Tories had refused to target the wealthy, describing them as 'their friends in big business and big houses'. 'They're not even pretending they want us to be "all in this together" any more. 'The Conservative plan for the next government is an ideological lurch to the right. 'They have gone from being the self-proclaimed heirs

Dozens of Southwest Airlines passengers were delayed by about two hours today after a pickup truck crashed into a plane at Boston’s international airport. Almost 120 travellers were waiting to board flight WN771 from Logan International Airport to Atlanta when the collision occurred at about 5:30am local time. No injuries were reported, but the aircraft has been taken out of service for repairs. Passengers were waiting to board the Southwest Airlines plane when it was struck by a pickup truck . Cara Strobel said she and fellow travellers were waiting inside the terminal when the truck crashed into one of the Boeing 737’s engines as the plane sat on the snowy apron. She told MailOnline Travel that an official at the airport said the truck was unoccupied and left in gear, allowing it roll into the jet engine near a fuel tank. The 25-year-old, who was heading to Florida for a family holiday, said: ‘All of a sudden we saw the reflections of the flashing lights of the emergency vehicles and an announcement was made that we would be delayed. As a precaution Southwest Airlines decided to ground the plane and bring in a replacement aircraft . ‘I unfortunately don't know the details of how it happened, but it looks as though the rear of the truck was what hit the engine. ‘As far as I know, no one was injured. If anything it looked like a "fender bender" and they're sending us a replacement as a precaution. ‘I'd much rather have a new plane and have them check out this one.’ The back end of the truck collided with one of the plane's engines on the airport's snowy apron . A Southwest Airlines spokesperson told MailOnline Travel that no one was on board the plane at the time of the collision. The spokesperson said the truck belonged to a different airline. Cara said Southwest Airlines staff informed passengers that they would be delayed by about two hours as a replacement plane was brought in from Washington, DC. The spokesperson for the Dallas-based airline said: ‘The 119 customers will arrive at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport about two-and-half hours behind schedule and our employees are working to accommodate any travel needs created by the delay. ‘We thank our delayed customers for their patience as our people worked to recover from the operational curveball and deliver those customers safely to their destinations.’

Boeing 737 involved in crash will not fly passengers to their destination . Southwest Airlines is bringing in a replacement from Washington, DC .


All cigarettes in Britain will be sold in plain packets bearing gruesome health warnings under a landmark new law backed by MPs today. The legislation, which will come into force from May next year, easily cleared the Commons by 367 votes to 113. It follows the example of Australia, which became the first country in the world to introduce the public health law two years ago to deter a new generation of young smokers. Britain is to become the second country in the world to introduce plain packaging for cigarettes . Powers to introduce standardised packaging were in passed the Children and Families Act 2014, but MPs must vote on bringing them into force. More than 100 mostly-Tory MPs opposed the move in a free vote this afternoon, but it passed into law with the support of Labour and the Lib Dems. Critics said the idea will not prevent people smoking, could confuse consumers and fuel illegal imports. But public health minister Jane Ellison insisted the plan would bring the country 'one step closer to our first smoke-free generation'. She said she recognised concerns that standardised packaging for cigarettes could be a 'slippery slope' towards a similar approach to other products such as junk food and alcohol. But she told MPs: 'The Government has no intention to extend standardised packaging to any other product than tobacco. 'Tobacco is a uniquely harmful consumer good and as such it's been treated uniquely in regulatory terms for many years.' Ahead of the vote Deborah Arnott, chief executive of health charity ASH, said she was confident that MPs will vote for the standardised packaging 'by a large majority'. 'There is strong support amongst parliamentarians from right across the political spectrum for this important public health measure to protect children and save lives,' she added. Public health minister Jane Ellison insists the plan would bring the country 'one step closer to our first smoke-free generation' Cancer Research UK's Alison Cox said: 'The public health community has been united in calling for the introduction of plain, standardised packaging of tobacco products across the UK. 'The growing weight of peer-reviewed evidence that standard packs reduce the appeal of smoking to children has crushed the tobacco company counter claims.' Dr Jenny Hatchard, from University of Bath's Tobacco Control Research Group, said: 'Tobacco companies have undertaken an unremitting three year opposition campaign, in which they hid behind third parties as they tried to dissuade politicians from acting in the interests of children's health. 'The vote indicates that the strong evidence that this measure is likely to reduce the appeal of smoking and bring health benefits for young people for generations to come has finally won out.' However, pro-smoking groups said the public did not support the plan. Simon Clark, director of the smokers' group Forest which runs the Hands Off Our Packs campaign, said voters did not see it as a priority. 'The public wants parliament to prioritise tackling immigration and terrorism, not plain packaging of cigarettes. 'Plain packaging legislation is an ill-judged sideshow and a distraction from the real challenges

Summary: MPs back new law on plain packaging which comes into effect next May . Cigarettes will be sold in plain packets bearing shock health warnings . Follows Australia which became first country to pass law two years ago . Health minister says it takes UK closer to the 'first smoke-free generation'

The jet started out life as an ordinary passenger jet, but was completely refurbished with luxury equipment, including its own bedroom (above) Guests on board the aircraft can stroll along the spacious corridor, left, or take a shower, right, but it now only accommodates for 26 people . The jet even comes equipped with a Nespresso coffee machine as well as WIFI and satellite phones. MailOnline estimates that the aircraft would cost in the region of £250,000 to charter for four days on a trans-Atlantic trip. A spokesman for Clarence House declined to reveal the cost of the trip when contacted. In December William and Kate travelled to New York on a scheduled British Airways flight ahead of a royal tour with their seven-strong entourage. The couple were also seen boarding a British Airways plane as they prepared to travel back to London, following their annual holiday on the island of Mustique last month.

Amira Abase, 15, and three other pupils at one school in east London fled to join ISIS . The school where four pupils fled to Syria to become ‘jihadi brides’ is to be investigated by counter-extremism officials. The probe at Bethnal Green Academy has been launched after four girls left their homes to join Islamic State. Fears of a wider problem of fanaticism at the school in East London have emerged when four of their friends and fellow pupils had their passports confiscated before they could make the same journey. One of these, a 15-year-old girl who cannot be named for legal reasons, was stopped as her British Airways flight to Istanbul taxied for take-off. The Department for Education said officers from its ‘due diligence and counter-extremism division’ will investigate potential links to extremism. The academy, rated as ‘outstanding’ in its 2012 Ofsted review, is currently putting on weekly talks for parents giving advice on the issue. But parents fear this is merely ‘papering over the cracks’ and have called for a thorough investigation. Parents have also started holding their own meetings to discuss the growing problem of Islamic fundamentalism at the school. Some have been producing and distributing leaflets which give advice on spotting the signs of radicalism. Nazrul Islam, whose 13-year-old son attends the school, said: ‘Lots of parents around here who have children that go to Bethnal Green Academy are all very concerned. ‘After what happened with the girls leaving, parents are worried that their children might be radicalised too – but they don’t know how to stop it. ‘We have been left in a horrible situation and now parents are worried they don’t know what their children are doing. The police told the school that they were concerned about the girls. Did the school then contact the parents? What did they know and what did they do about it? We need to get to the bottom of it.’ Davis Lewin, deputy director at the Henry Jackson Society think-tank, said: ‘It is vital that the authorities investigate the situation at the school. Parents and the public deserve answers. If there is a problem in Bethnal Green Academy, it must be addressed urgently. If not, we must know where these children are being indoctrinated with this hateful ideological poison.’ The probe at Bethnal Green Academy has been launched after four girls left their homes to join Islamic State. Classmates Kadiza Sultana, 16, Shamima Begum, 15, and Amira Abase, 15, fled to Syria last month . Last week a judge banned five girls – three of whom are 16 and two 15 – from travelling abroad after they showed an interest in going to Syria. He ordered their passports to be confiscated and for them to be made wards of the court. Four of the girls, from Bethnal Green Academy, are associated with the four girls who have already joined IS to become ‘jihadi brides’. The fifth is schooled at home. Concerns for their welfare were raised by police after classmates Kadiza Sultana, 16, Shamima Begum, 15, and Amira Abase, 15,

The Iraqi man who was shot dead in Dallas while photographing his first ever snowfall had arrived just three weeks prior after saving up for a year, his devastated family has revealed. Ahmed Al-Jumaili, 36, was fatally shot as he played in the snow with his wife and brother-in-law at their apartment complex last Wednesday. Police have not yet arrested any suspects. Al-Jumaili had married his wife Zahraa Altaie just a month before she left Iraq for Texas and Al-Jumaili had saved for more than a year to be able to afford to join her, CBS News reported. Fearful of terrorist activity in their country, he worked hard providing Internet connections to Iraqi homes so he could head to America, according to his father-in-law Mohammed Altaae. Torn apart: Ahmed Al-Jumaili (right) was shot dead just 20 days after arriving in the U.S., where he was reunited with his wife Zahara (right). He had saved up for more than a year to be able to join her . Devastated: His father-in-law Mohammed Altaae wept as he described how the young couple had just wanted to start building their life together after more than a year apart and have children together . His wife had moved to the Dallas area to be near family members and her husband joined her just 20 days before he was murdered. He had a car and was looking for a job, his father-in-law said. 'For a young man and a young woman, oh God, so many dreams together,' Altaae told CBS. 'They wanted to have children and educate them well. It was the dreams of young people. 'We're looking for safe place... What he got was a bullet in his heart.' Authorities have released surveillance footage showing four men in their 20s walking from the complex on Wednesday but so far no arrests have been made. Police do not yet know if Al-Jumaili was targeted or was the victim of random gunfire. Widowed: His distraught wife Zahara is pictured outside the Dallas apartment they shared with her family . Refuge: Just weeks earlier, the couple had been reunited as Al-Jumaili joined his wife in the United States . Dallas police Major Jeff Cotner said two of the four wanted men were armed and, without exchanging any words with the group, fired bullets across the complex. Alia Salem, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in the Dallas and Fort Worth area, explained in an account on Facebook that Al-Jumaili had taken cover behind a pickup truck when the men opened fire - but a bullet pierced the truck and struck him. Al-Jumaili was shot in the chest and rushed to hospital, where he passed away the following day. 'There was nothing said to Ahmed or his wife and her brother by the perpetrators in advance of the shots,' Salem wrote. 'Including no verbal insults or derogatory slurs.' In security footage that captured the men, one appears to be carrying a firearm by his side. They are seen running separately through the snow. Cotner told CBS that

A little girl has been cured of a rare a condition that made milk shoot out of her nose. Georgie Yorke was born with birth defects that meant her oesophagus was not connected to her stomach. This meant that whenever her mother tried to feed her with a bottle, milk would come back out of her nose and mouth. Georgie was rushed to surgery to undergo an operation to connect the oesophagus to the trachea just 22 hours after she was born on July 10 2014. Georgie Yorke, now eight months, was born with birth defects meaning whenever she was fed, milk shot back out of her nose and mouth. She is pictured with parents Stacey Ross, 25 and Vic Yorke . Georgie was born with the birth defects oesophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula - meaning her oesophagus was not connected to her stomach . Georgie was rushed for an operation to correct the defects when she was just two days old. She has since had five more operations to further correct the problem and rid her of scar tissue . Georgie, aged eight months, is now out of hospital and finally able to enjoy life at home with parents Stacey Ross, 25, and Vic Yorke, 19, from Consett, County Durham. Ms Ross, a travel agent, said: 'When Georgie was born, I was rushed in for an emergency C-section, so I didn't get to hold her in the beginning. 'When I finally tried to feed her that night, the milk was coming out of her nose and mouth and going everywhere - almost like when you drink a fizzy drink and it shoots out of your nose. 'I thought it might have been me - and because I was trying to feed her on my own. 'But when the midwife came around to help me, she realised something was wrong as the milk was going down the wrong tube and Georgie's breathing wasn't right. 'She was taken away from me a few times in the night and taken into special care. It wasn't until they X-rayed her that I was told what was wrong.' Oesophageal atresia is a rare birth defect that affects the baby's oesophagus, the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. In oesophageal atresia, the upper part of the oesophagus doesn't connect with the lower oesophagus and stomach. It ends in a pouch, which means food cannot reach the stomach. It often happens together with another birth defect called a tracheoesophageal fistula, which is a connection between the upper part of the oesophagus and the windpipe (trachea). This causes air to pass from the windpipe to the oesophagus and stomach, and stomach acid to pass into the lungs. It's not known why the defect develops, but it's more likely to happen in babies of mothers who had too much amniotic fluid in pregnancy (polyhydramnios). The defect means the baby won't be able to swallow and digest food safely, or at all. Oesophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula are thought to affect about one in 2,500-3,500 births. If

Ritts pointed his lens at Madonna, Michael Jackson, Julia Roberts and Tom Cruise to name but a few of the famous faces he snapped, publishing his work in such publications as Vogue, Vanity Fair, Interview and Rolling Stone.

After months of defending Marvin Gaye's work, the late Motown singer's family breathed a sigh of relief in court on Tuesday as a jury decided that the Robin Thicke song 'Blurred Lines' ripped off Gaye's 1977 hit 'Got to Give It Up'. Following the decision, Gaye's ex-wife and children sat down for interviews to describe the emotional legal battle to stand up for his music and how they hold no ill-feelings towards the song's producer, Pharrell Williams.

Overcome with emotion: Tears welled in Nona Gaye's eyes as she reflected on the multi-million dollar lawsuit . The success of the family's lawsuit in court is also sparking discussion online as to whether some of Pharrell's other work infringed on Gaye, with many drawing comparisons between his 2013 hit 'Happy' and Gaye's 'Ain't That Peculiar'. 'I'm not going to lie. I do think they sound alike,' Gaye's 40-year-old daughter Nona told Entertainment Tonight. While the family hears the similarities, they say they are not interested in going back to court anytime soon. 'We're not in that space,' Nona added.

An attorney for Thicke and Pharrell has said a decision in favor of Gaye's heirs could have a chilling effect on musicians who try to emulate an era or another artist's sound. All three later released a statement, saying; 'While we respect the judicial process, we are extremely disappointed in the ruling made today, which sets a horrible precedent for music and creativity going forward. 'Blurred Lines’ was created from the heart and minds of Pharrell, Robin and T.I. and not taken from anyone or anywhere
