Organisers of an electronic music festival in country Victoria last weekend were disgusted to find mountains of trash left behind by party-goers. The Maitreya festival, a weekend of 'psytrance', techno and art, attracted thousands of revellers to the picturesque Wooroonooka Lakes camping ground, 245 km north-west of Melbourne. But festival-goers left much more than their dancing shoes behind. "We're all here cleaning this up because a percentage of you have made a hell of a mess and left it all behind - and you really obviously don't give a toss,' says Tim, a member of the Charlton football club and one of the clean-up volunteers in a video of the aftermath. 'Fair's fair - you wouldn't do this at your mum and dad's place, don't do it at our lake.' Scroll down for video . 'We know you've have come here for a good time, and not a long time ... but you obviously don't give a toss!' says Tim, who volunteered to clean-up after the festival . 'Disgusting it's left up to the local community that was kind enough to let us on their beautiful land,' wrote one festival-goer on social media . The video, posted to You Tube by the Maitreya festival organisers, pans an area of bushland littered with old couches and trashed tents, water bottles, discarded costumes, hoola hoops and beer cartons. 'If they're organised enough to bring couches, surely they can be organised enough to take them home, it's just simple courtesy,' says Tim as he loads a truck with garbage bags and old cushions. 'Fair's fair - you wouldn't do this at your mum and dad's place, don't do it at our lake,' says Tim, one of the volunteers with the Charlton Football club . The Maitreya event prides itself on being environmentally conscious and before the party, urged festival goers, as 'friends of the eartth,' to leave no trace. 'If we can become responsible caretakers of the land, as is our heritage, we can continue to gather here for many moons to come….If we can't ... sadly with the indictment on our shoulders we will have to leave…,' stated the festival website. The Maitreya festival was held here on the Wooroonooka Lakes, near Charlton in country Victoria . The picturesque camp site before the Maitreya music festival last weekend . The beautiful Wooroonooka Lake is a popular camping spot for nature lovers and recreational fishers . According to the Charlton Football Club, it took four solid days and a team of fifty plus volunteers to get the site back to how it was. A bush doof is an outdoor dance party, usually held in a remote area, or in bush or rainforests outside big cities in Australia or New Zealand. 'Doof doof' is an Australian term for loud, heavy bass electronic music. In most cases, bush doofs are small and secret, promoted by word-of-mouth or social media. Sometimes they last for days. Last year, a central coast teenager survived an 80-metre cliff fall after trying to avoid the cover charge for a 'bush doof' in

Border officials refused a Canadian woman the right to stay in the UK claiming she doesn't have a 'genuine relationship' with her British husband - despite them having been married for 45 years. David Summers, 70, and his wife Maria, 66, have been happily married since 1970, and have a 42-year-old son, Derick, who holds a British passport. The couple lived in Ontario, Canada, until September 2013, when they moved back to the UK to care for Mr Summers's sick mother. But border officials have now refused retired optician Mrs Summers's application for a permanent UK visa because they don't believe the pensioners have a real 'affectionate relationship'. Border officials have questioned David and Maria Summers' relationship and denied her a visa - despite them having been happily married for 45 years. Pictured, right: The couple on their wedding day in 1970 . The decision was appealed and it is currently being considered by the UK Border Agency, who have told the couple that no final ruling will be made until the end of May. The couple, who own a house in Hereford, are meanwhile desperately trying to prove that their marriage is genuine for fear Mrs Summers could be permanently excluded from the UK when her temporary tourist visa expires. Mrs Summers said: 'It's ridiculous, we are quite willing to give the border people what they want but they are adamant. I don't know what they want us to prove. 'Anyone who has ever spoken to us can clearly see that we are best friends and have been since the day we met. 'We've got almost half a century's worth of birthday cards, 45 years of holiday snaps from all ove the world. 'We've got pictures of us with our son just after he was born, growing up, right up to his wedding day. If they'd asked us to send us all of those photos, we could have done.' Mr Summers, a retired retailer and published author, added: 'Why pick on us? We've been married for 45 years and we are completely devoted to one another, what do they want us to do? 'We could show them pictures, e-mails, texts, everything from our marriage, but they have not asked us for anything. They are doing this based on no evidence at all.' The couple say they have five decades' worth of pictures to prove their long-running marriage is genuine - but were not asked to provide any evidence when applying for the visa . Mr Summers said: 'We love each other very much, it's hurtful for them to suggest our marriage is not real' Mr Summers added: 'They haven't even given us a chance to prove that our marriage is real. We've got a marriage certificate and a son, what more do they want? 'We love each other very much, it's really hurtful for them to suggest that our marriage is not real.' Mrs Summers's application for a permanent UK visa was rejected by British authorities, with a letter citing the reason for rejection stating: 'You have not provided any evidence

An interior designer who was cut out of her mother’s £2.5million will has won a legal fight with her brother to keep her home. Sunita Day, 45, who once dated Sir Terence Conran, was disinherited by her gambling-addict mother Pamela Russell. But a judge ruled yesterday that she was entitled to keep an £800,000 flat she had been given in 1995. Sunita Day, 45, (left) was disinherited by her mother Pamela Russell before her death in 2013 and everything was left to her brother Rajan Russell (right) The court heard that restaurateur Mrs Russell, who died in 2013, underwent a personality change after being diagnosed with cancer. She frittered away much of her fortune in casinos and turned against her daughter. Mrs Russell left her entire estate to Mrs Day’s older brother, investment banker Rajan Russell. He maintained the estate included his sister’s flat in Battersea, South West London. Mrs Day, who made headlines when she was in her 20s for ‘stepping out’ with designer Sir Terence, 38 years her senior, said the flat had been a gift to get her on the property ladder. Before her illness her mother, to whom she had been very close, often showered her with presents, she told Central London County Court. ‘She was always buying me things like mink coats and jewellery – you name it I had it,’ Mrs Day said. ‘I was spoilt... the flat just followed.’ But she said her mother’s gambling addiction turned her into ‘a harridan with a capital H’ and at one point she feared Mrs Russell would have her ‘bumped off’ to get the flat back. Her mother had given her a luxury £800,000 flat in Battersea, south London (pictured) 20 years ago but Mr Russell claimed it was part of his mother's estate . During her final years, her mother had visited casinos every night and even resorted to stealing gambling chips, Mrs Day claimed. She said she lived in fear of her multi-millionaire brother, whom she called ‘bully boy Raj’, and that he was jealous of anything their mother gave her. Mr Russell, 47, denied his sister’s claims. But after a four-day hearing, Judge Marc Dight ruled that Mrs Day was entitled to keep the flat, which had been ‘freely gifted’. He rejected Mr Russell’s claim that she merely held the flat as a trustee and ruled he was entitled to only a £55,000 stake in the property to reflect a mortgage paid off by his mother. Judge Dight also ordered Mr Russell to pay most of his sister’s six-figure legal bill. However he rejected Mrs Day’s claims that she had been put under ‘duress or undue influence’ by her brother and mother. He said Mrs Russell’s personality had changed after her cancer diagnosis in March 2010. In a document she wrote in May 2012 explaining why she had disinherited her daughter, she claimed Mrs Day ‘never came to see me while I had breast cancer and has been very disagreeable all her life since the age of 14. I feel like I have done three

A video has emerged believed to show ISIS executioner Jihadi John ranting on camera shortly after he arrived in Syria from the UK. The footage is of two bands of fanatical fighters joining forces in 2013 under the command of notorious terrorist Omar al-Shishani. At the front stands a man thought to be Mohammed Emwazi - the west Londoner last week unmasked as the killer of Western hostages in a series of videos which have shocked the world. A man thought to be Jihadi John proclaims allegiance to a terror group in footage filmed in 2013. The video is thought to be the first known appearance by the executioner now unmasked as Mohammed Emwazi . The video is thought to have been filmed just months after Emwazi is understood to have fled Britain to take up arms alongside the extremists. It shows a pledge of allegiance made when the so-called 'Army of Muhammad Brigades' group joined forces with the so-called 'Brigade of Migrants', of which Emwazi is believed to have been a member. The speaker proclaims: 'This army announces unity within its ranks for the sake of implementing the Shariah and returning this blessed land to God the most glorified and the most high under the leadership of the emir Umar al-Shishani.' Emwazi, now 26, attempted to join al-Shabaab in Somalia after finishing his university course in London in 2009, but was refused entry to Tanzania and returned to Britain, from where he later went to Syria. He is thought to have been in a group who were among the first to go to fight in the Middle East, along with fellow Londoners Ibrahim al-Mazwagi, Choukri Ellekhlifi and Mohammad el-Araj. Ellekhlifi was two years above Emwazi in his north London school, Quinton Kynaston Academy, and later became part of a robbery gang which carried out a series of raids in central London. Ellekhlifi, 22, fled to Syria while on bail and was killed fighting near Aleppo in August 2013, months after the video thought to feature Emwazi was filmed. El-Araj, 23, was killed two weeks later during a firefight. Al-Mazwagi, from North London was 21 when he was killed in Syria in February last year. Emwazi was last week unmasked as the killer who carried as series of beheadings of Western hostages . In the film, the man thought to be Emwazi stands in front of notorious terror leader Omar al-Shishani (right) Emwazi's links to the London crime gang meant he had developed a love of violence, which led to him being chosen to feature in the beheading videos for which is now known throughout the world. In the latest video, the man suspected of being Emwazi stands at the front of a long line of gun-toting militants, with al-Shishani standing behind him arm-in-arm with two other fighters. Commenting on the likenesses of Emwazi to the speaking in the latest video to emerge, Raffaello Pantucci of the Royal United Service Institute told MailOnline: 'Given he’s masked, it is difficult to make the precise connection between the two, though there are definite similarities.

Summary: Video shows two bands of militants joining forces during Syrian war . Jihadi John believed to have been member of one of the groups involved . Man who looks like British-raised ISIS execution makes proclamation . Experts highlight similarities between speaker and Jihadi John . He swears allegiance to group run by notorious terrorist Omar al-Shishani . Al-Shishani also appears in the footage, arm-in-arm with other fighters .


Manu Tuilagi is a major doubt for the World Cup after it emerged the England and Leicester star is unlikely to play again this season. The powerhouse centre, one of the first names on Stuart Lancaster’s team-sheet when fit, has not featured since October and faces a race against time to be fit for the World Cup in September after suspicions his groin injury was worse than first thought were confirmed by Leicester. Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill said: ‘Manu is improving but it is a long process. The likelihood is, he may not play this season. He may or may not play this season.’ England coach Stuart Lancaster (left) has been hit by the news Manu Tuilagi could miss the World Cup . Tuilagi (centre) has a groin injury that could rule him out of England's tournament in September . Fears that Tuilagi's groin injury is worse than first feared were confirmed by his club Leicester . The 23-year-old, who Mailsport understands is suffering from the notoriously troublesome condition known as ‘Gilmore’s Groin’, is now likely to have just three warm-up matches this summer to prove his fitness ahead of the World Cup, which kicks off on September 18. Leicester, who have conducted a root and branch review of their medical department this season, have repeatedly insisted his return is imminent despite growing rumours the problem is more serious than they have let on. In February Cockerill accused Tuilagi of inadvertently exaggerating the extent of his injury after he gave an interview saying he would not feature in the Six Nations. Tuilagi is considered one of the first names on the England team-sheet when he is fit to play . Tuilagi will try to be fit for the start of England's World Cup campaign, which begins on September 18 . Tuilagi (right) missed the whole of England's Six Nations campaign due to injury . As it transpired, he played no role in tournament, although he did spend time with England’s medical team and remains a valued member of the squad. But serious questions will now be asked about the management of his injury after surgery was delayed in a bid to get him fit. England had better news last night when Saracens confirmed injured duo Owen Farrell and Brad Barritt as expected to return in the next two to three weeks.

Summary: Manu Tuilagi is a key player for England and Stuart Lancaster when fit . The centre has a groin injury that Leicester say is worse than first feared . Tuilagi is unlikely to play again this season due to the problem .


Some restaurant owners have tired of their negative Yelp reviews and are fighting back at their unhappy customers, seasoning their retorts with a dash of name-calling and a sprinkle of insults. Francesco Macri, who owns Park Italian Gourmet Deli in Manhattan, isn't afraid to call his customers douchebags or tell them they're 'full of s***'. Yelp user Scott E. awarded the deli one star after he asked the owner why they stopped serving breakfast at 10am and said he was told 'not to come back'. Macri wrote back that he remembered Scott was 'not kind at all' and that he wasn't worried 'because if you came back, I'd kick you out again'. Francesco Macri, who owns Park Italian Gourmet Deli in Manhattan, hasn't been afraid to call his customers douchebags or tell them they're 'full of s**t . Macri is even happy to lob insults in different languages. When Joe T. said that as an 'Italian from Brooklyn' he knew this was 'not a good place to eat,' Macri wrote in Italian 'you are such an idiot...you're in Brooklyn, please' When Karl K. complained on the site that the sandwich he had shared with a friend had 'no complexity,' Macri told him there was an 'overall douche-baggery to your review'. Macri said he was 'ultimately content' that Karl didn't have a good experience, and quipped 'I haven't shared a sandwich with anyone since I was maybe six years old'. After vegetarian Salman M. complained about the deli's 'restricted' options and said the price was too high, Macri responded that he was 'full of s**t*', adding that he was 'not sure if that's considered vegetarian or not'. Macri is even happy to lob insults in different languages. When Joe T. said that as an 'Italian from Brooklyn' he knew this was 'not a good place to eat,' Macri wrote, in Italian, 'you are such an idiot'. But the owner's comebacks aren't always insult-packed. When one reviewer wrote she was disappointed with the deli after hearing good things, he responded with a link to the music video for Public Enemy's song Don't Believe The Hype. Macri told the New York Post that he wasn't 'a nice person' and that he was just defending his business from 'a public complaints department'. After two customers at a Boston restaurant took a table without a reservation and began obviously posting on Yelp as a threat for service, chef Michael Scelfo snapped their photo and posted it on his Instagram page . Although the deli owner may be one of the most active restaurant owners when it comes to responding to negative Yelp reviews, he's hardly the only one. When one Yelp user accused Gaia Bagnasacco, owner of Gaia Italian Cafe in New York, of having a 'horrible attitude' she called him out on what she said was his 'nasty' behavior. Bagnasacco told Peter B., who had previously given her a five-star rating before the new two-star post, that the restaurant was tired of his attitude. 'We have been patience [sic] in the past many time,' she wrote.

When Kim Kardashian unveiled those platinum blonde locks yesterday, her new style was met with mixed reviews. But the 34-year-old’s decision to hit the bleach bottle again is one I can understand. Kanye West says he prefers the reality star’s lighter locks and who can blame him, from Marilyn Monroe to Brigitte Bardot, we’re a society obsessed with iconic blonde bombshells. Hailed as the beauty idol of the 2010s, it’s no wonder Kim Kardashian decided to re-join the ranks of famous blonde stars. Scroll down for video . Rosy said changing her hair colour has made her feel as though she stands out from the crowd . Rosy, pictured left before dyeing her hair, says Kim Kardashian's new look 'takes a lot of guts' While her fashion sense is often questionable, there’s no denying Kim’s influence in the beauty stakes - she’s the woman that turned the world on to contouring, after all. A study last year by hair-care brand Schwarzkopf showed that blondes make up 30 per cent of the retail hair dye market and contribute to 60 per cent of salon business - those numbers are surely set to rise with Kim’s look sparking a wave of women going over to the lighter side. Hairdressers may say a drastic hair change like Kim’s is a sign of something dramatic going on in a person’s life, but that wasn’t the case for me when I decided to take the plunge from brunette to blonde last November. While I’ve been known to reach for reach for the hair dye immediately after a break up, going blonde wasn’t a spur of the moment decision but more a reflection of my realisation that life’s too short not to have fun. And do blondes have more fun? In my experience, definitely. Extreme new look: Rosy had her hair dyed at the Bleach London salon in Dalston by hairstylist Naoya . Rosy, pictured before, left, and after, right, said was as if someone had finally lifted my invisibility cloak . Rosy said she now gets lots more attention from men after going platinum . My hair was bleached at the Bleach London salon in Dalston by hairstylist Naoya. The whole process, including blow dry, took three and a half hours in total. As I had previously coloured my hair, it was treated as a colour correction rather than a virgin bleach. Naoya first applied a pre-lightener mixed with peroxide to the ends of my hair to lift the colour out, then after applied the mixture to my roots (as they process faster) to ensure it was all an even colour. The bleach was then washed off and a golden toner was applied to banish any brassy tones. I now get my roots done every 6-8 weeks to maintain the look. As a brunette I often felt mousey, invisible and way older than my 25 years. Sometimes I could even feel myself slowly blending into the background in social situations and no change of outfit or make-up seemed to make a difference. When my hairdresser Naoya at

Summary: Rosy Cherrington, 25, says changing hair colour made her more confident . The writer reveals that as a brunette she felt 'mousey' and 'invisible' Now believes that she stands out from crowd after going platinum . Says people like Kim are brave to undergo 'extreme' style change .

The widow of the first victim of Jihadi John has called for a British 'bounty on his head' to encourage his ISIS associates to give him up. Dragana Haines' husband aid worker David Haines, 44, was the first British hostage to be killed on screen by Jihadi John in an ISIS propaganda video released last September. Mrs Haines said she believes the British Government should have put up a bounty at the time of her husband's death. Last week Jihadi John was named as Mohammed Emwazi, a 26-year-old university graduate from London who was able to flee to Syria despite being on an MI5 watchlist. Dragana Haines (pictured with David Haines and their daughter) said she would like to see the British Government stump up a bounty for information about Jihadi John, who brutally executed her husband . After footage of the first of the brutal killings emerged last year the US Senate approved a $10million reward for information leading to his arrest. Now Mrs Haines, who lives with her four-year-old daughter in Athea, is calling for the British government to follow suit. She told Benedict Moore-Bridger at the Evening Standard: 'I am sure some of his mates would sell him. I know they are dedicated to some cause but also not all are so honourable, whatever that may mean for them, and they should go for that 'carrot.'' Scottish aid worker Mr Haines, 44, was brutally executed by Emwazi in September after being seized in Syria in 2013. Mrs Haines has previously said she would like to see Jihadi John captured alive so he can face justice. She said she would also like to try and find out why he carried out the brutal killings of her husband and other hostages. She added: 'A British bounty should have been put on his head at the time.' Scottish aid worker Mr Haines, 44, was executed by Emwazi in September after being seized in Syria in 2013 . The widow said she felt David Cameron should have acted to put up a reward for information before more people were murdered. She also said she had a 'mess of feelings' for Emwazi's family who she said must have had 'high hopes' for their son, but she was baffled as to if they could ever be able to forgive him. Mr Haines' other daughter, Bethany, 17, has previously said she would like to see her father's murderer killed. She said: 'I think all the families will feel closure and relief once there's a bullet between his eyes.' Emwazi was unmasked as the brutal ISIS executioner last week. Victim: David Haines (left) was killed by 'Jihadi John' last September. His daughter Bethany (right) said families would only feel closure once 'there was a bullet his eyes' The 26-year-old, who studied computer programming at the University of Westminster, is said to have travelled to the Middle East three years ago and later joined ISIS. After graduating from university in May 2009, Emwazi flew to Tanzania with friends apparently on a safari - but was arrested by police

Fast food chain Red Rooster has been slammed by the Food Intolerance Network for making 'misleading and erroneous' advertising claims about their food being preservative and MSG free . Fast food chain Red Rooster has been slammed by a lobby group for making 'misleading and erroneous' advertising claims that its food is free of 'anything artificial'. The Food Intolerance Network, made up of over 10,000 Australian and New Zealand families, has lodged a complaint against the fast food giant with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), claiming that Red Rooster's product range is filled with artificial additives and MSG despite the company's claims of the contrary. Dr Howard Denagte, the co-founder of the network who has a doctrine in food technology, told Daily Mail Australia that by simply studying the nutritional information provided for each product on Red Rooster's website, he managed to identify over 12 items with MSG and seven synthetic antioxidants in various items. These include artificial additives that were identified as of concern for children by the Commonwealth Department of Health. 'Their advertisement clearly stated "you won't find anything artificial in any of the food made by us"; that is misleading,' Dr Dengate said. He said that other false claims made by Red Rooster since September were '100 per cent Australian Canola Oil' and 'Our chicken nuggets… are preservative free'. 'Synthetic antioxidant 319 tert-Butylhydroquinone tBHQ is in the canola oil used to cook the Cheesy Nuggets and Nuggets. While this is not technically a preservative it is added to preserve the oil, and the oil is not '100 per cent' as claimed. The products contain ingredients that are artificial,' Dr Dengate's complaint states. Co-founder of the group and food technologist Howard Denagte took this screen shot of what he described as a 'misleading' advertisement by the fast food giant . However he claims the company has since changed the wording on their website . Dr Dengate said that by simply studying the nutritional information provided for each product on Red Rooster's website, he managed to identify over 12 items with MSG and seven synthetic antioxidants in various items . 'Preservative 220 sulphur dioxide is in the Guilt-free Tenders salad dressing. This additive requires a public warning on any ingredient label due to asthma concerns. Their website currently claims incorrectly that there is no sulphite present. This product contains this ingredient which is artificial.' Red Rooster's national marketing manager, Anna Jones, told Daily Mail Australia that the company stood by their claims that 'there are no artificial colours, flavours or added MSG present in any meals we prepare.' 'This has been verified by Siliker, a global leader in food safety and quality, who acted as an independent auditor to ensure everything prepared by Red Rooster was free of artificial colours, flavours or added MSG,' Ms Jones said. However Dr Denagte claims Red Rooster has changed the wording in their advertisements - which stated 'there's no... MSG in the meals we prepare' - since the complaint was lodged with the ACCC, saying: 'basically, they essentially pleaded guilty'. 'In fact it's

Scotland lock Rob Harley insists the Dark Blues can finish their RBS 6 Nations off on a high if they can stretch their 20-minute blitz against England to an 80-minute onslaught. Vern Cotter's men host Ireland on Saturday knowing defeat will leave them with a disastrous whitewash for the third time in 11 years. But Glasgow forward Harley is taking hope from the promising spell at the end of the first half last weekend where his side stormed back from Jonathan Joseph's early score to grab a 13-10 half-time lead. Rob Harley believes Scotland can take hope from their 20-minute dominant spell over England on Saturday . Mark Bennett finished off a superb move before a pair of penalties from skipper Greig Laidlaw nudged them in front at the break. But Scotland failed to add a single point after the interval and slumped to a 25-13 defeat in London as England stepped up a level. Now Harley insists the Scots will only be able to dent Ireland's title push next weekend if they can repeat their brief moment of dominance down south for the full match at Murrayfield. He said: 'It was a very, very fast Test match on Saturday - possibly the quickest I've ever played. England came at us with huge pace and they moved the ball really well. Scotland stormed back from Jonathan Joseph's early score to grab a 13-10 half-time lead at Twickenham . 'Their dangerous attacking players were pushing them forward and it took some exceptional defence from us a couple of times to stop them building a bigger lead in that first half. 'But I thought we showed great character getting back into the game. We put pressure on them and started to play our own game. 'We got the off-loads going and that's how we got our try - we moved the ball and played quickly. 'Next week is a massive test and it's important we do the same against Ireland that we did in that second quarter against England. Mark Bennett scores a try for Scotland at Twickenham during the impressive spell that they hope to build on . VIDEO 02 Inside Line: England v Scotland match review . 'That will be the big focus for us this next week. We'll get a boost from going home to BT Murrayfield in front of our own fans but we need to take the bar that we set with the good things we did at Twickenham and make that the standard for the whole 80 minutes. 'It gives us something to build for and we can definitely take the positives from Saturday's match before hopefully ending the Championship on a high.' Harley says Scotland will take the positives from Saturday's match as they aim to avoid the wooden spoon . Defeat in the English capital follows narrow losses to France, Wales and Italy but despite that miserable set of results, Harley insists Scotland are moving forward. He said: 'The coach spoke after the game in London about making the little improvements that will turn those tight

Adam Osborne had his licence suspended by the General Medical Council after being accused of having a two-year sexual affair with a highly vulnerable woman . George Osborne’s psychiatrist brother is battling to save his career after it was revealed that he has been suspended as a doctor following serious allegations of misconduct. Adam Osborne, 38, who has a private practice in Central London, last week had his licence suspended by the General Medical Council (GMC) after being accused of having a two-year sexual affair with a highly vulnerable woman patient who has psychiatric issues, is married and has two children. The news comes five years after he was suspended by the GMC for ‘dishonest and misleading’ behaviour in prescribing drugs to his cocaine-addicted prostitute lover. The latest blow means he cannot practise in any capacity as a doctor until an investigation into the new allegations has been concluded. The suspension will prove highly embarrassing for the Chancellor, coming as he prepares for Wednesday’s crucial Budget, the last before May’s General Election. If the investigation results in a Fitness To Practise hearing, which is held in public, Dr Osborne could face further sensitive personal information being revealed. And if the allegations are upheld, he could be struck off. A GMC spokesman said that the interim suspension was not an indication of guilt. In the wake of the hearing, Dr Osborne’s personal website was taken down. His Linkedin page states that he has a special interest in adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, personality disorders, depression and anxiety. Dr Osborne currently runs Devonport Psychiatry, which is based in Marylebone, Central London, but is officially registered to his home address in Shepherd’s Bush, West London, which he shares with his wife Rahala Noor, a plastic surgeon. On Friday, blinds were drawn at the £1.5 million terraced house, and although Dr Osborne was seen going in, he refused to answer the door. His Mercedes – with personalised number plates – was parked outside. Dr Osborne is the youngest brother of the Chancellor and one of four sons born to Sir Peter Osborne – who co-founded the wallpaper company Osborne & Little – and artist’s daughter Felicity Loxton-Peacock. Dr Osborne’s medical career has been beset by controversy since he finished his medical course at Manchester University in 2003. Family fun: Adam Osborne next to a long-haired George and brothers Benedict and Theo, with their parents in the early 1990s . His suspension in 2010 stemmed from a series of allegations surrounding his use of prescription drugs, which centred on allegations of a relationship with a prostitute. The GMC said that his ‘relationship’ with the woman had ‘clouded his judgment’ and led him to prescribe powerful anti-psychotic drugs, dishonestly use a false name and fail to inform her GP. Dr Osborne was also disciplined for prescribing contraceptive pills to his then girlfriend, Rahala, a strict Muslim who would become his wife, and an anti-smoking drug to an unnamed family member. The GMC hearing was told that Dr Osborne had been in a relationship with the prostitute, referred to

Summary: Dr Adam Osborne's licence was suspended by the General Medical Council . He has been accused of having an affair with a married psychiatric patient . Comes five years after suspension for prescribing drugs to prostitute lover .

One man is pictured in a flowery red jumpsuit with a thick blue blanket pulled over his head .

The photographs were revealed just five days after it emerged three men from the region were accused of homosexuality and publicly beheaded by a sword-wielding ISIS executioner. Iraqi troops and militia are battling to push ISIS back from the area with support from a US-led coalition and Iran. The photographs were revealed just five days after chilling new images emerged of three men being beheaded. The executioner stands with the sword poised above the man's head as a large crowd gathers to watch . But retaking Nineveh and Mosul poses a major challenge for Baghdad's forces, as the militants have had more than nine months to dig in. Iraqi forces launched a huge operation last week aimed at retaking the city of Tikrit that, if successful, would serve as a stepping stone towards Mosul.

England under 19s made the perfect start to their European Championship qualifying campaign as they twice came from behind to beat Denmark 3-2 on Thursday night. Sean O'Driscoll's Young Lions trailed twice, to goals from Marcus Ingvartsen and Robert Skov, but hit back through Izzy Brown, Demarai Gray and Ashley Smith-Brown to claim an important win. England are in an Elite Round mini-group with Denmark, Azerbaijan and France as they bid to reach the Under 19 European Championship finals in Greece in July. Manchester City's Ashley Smith-Brown scored the winner as England's under 19s beat Denmark . With only the group winners qualifying for the tournament, it was imperative England started with a positive result in Bayeux, northern France and they did in a topsy-turvy game that saw both sides finish with 10 men. Having scored 15 goals in three matches against Belgium, Luxembourg and Belarus to breeze through the preliminary qualifying phase, England knew this week's fixture would represent a step up in quality. And they were rocked when Denmark took the lead just six minutes in - after the England defence failed to deal with a long throw-in, Ingvartsen was there to poke the ball home at the back post. England responded by seizing control of possession, but it was the half-hour mark before they equalised. Chelsea midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek threaded a ball through to club-mate Brown and, brushing aside two Denmark defenders, he slotted the ball past goalkeeper Daniel Iversen. Brown came within inches of putting England in front soon after, but his powerful strike from 20 yards cannoned back off the crossbar. Izzy Brown, seen here playing for Chelsea in the FA Youth Cup, scored England's first goal . And when Fulham star Patrick Roberts teed up Loftus-Cheek, his shot was cleared off the line by Stefan Gartenmann. Given their dominance, it was frustrating that Denmark took the lead again four minutes before half-time. After a well-worked move, Skov found space just outside the box and fired past goalkeeper Angus Gunn into the far corner. To their credit, England responded immediately and it was 2-2 at the pause. Roberts swung in a free-kick from the right and Gray, the Birmingham City player, flicked in at the near post. After the excitement of the opening 45 minutes, the game entered a lull after the break before exploding to life again in the decisive final 10 minutes. Man City defender Smith-Brown collected the ball wide right, cut inside and fired home a missile from 20 yards that crashed in off the underside of the bar. The game ended with England's Harry Winks receiving a second yellow card and Denmark's Jeppe Hansen also dismissed for a bad tackle on Charlie Colkett. England's second qualifier is against Azerbaijan on Saturday. Sean O'Driscoll's team now play Azerbaijan and France in their other European Championship qualifiers . England (4-3-3): Angus Gunn (Manchester City); Ashley Smith-Brown (Manchester City), Ben Chilwell (Leicester City), Harry Winks (Tottenham Hotspur), Brendan Galloway (Everton); Joe Gomez (Charlton Athletic), Patrick Roberts (Fulham), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea);Izzy Brown (C; Chelsea), Charlie Colkett (Chelsea),

Summary: England claimed crucial win in first European Championship qualifier . They twice fell behind to Denmark but rallied to win match 3-2 .

A poet who fled from the Nazis was stabbed to death by her own 'bully' stepson during a furious family row at her picturesque country cottage. Writer Anne Cluysenaar, 78, who fled to Britain just before the outbreak of Second World War, was murdered with a kitchen knife by Timothy Jackson at her home in Usk, South Wales after he developed an 'irrational hatred' against his father's wife. Following the murderous attack, the 49-year-old, who 'drank like a fish and became a wild animal', told police he had killed the elderly woman because she 'tormented and taunted' him. Writer Anne Cluysenaar, 78, (right) who fled to Britain just before the outbreak of Second World War, was murdered by her stepson Timothy Jackson (left) at her home in Usk, South Wales during a family row . Just hours before her death, she had e-mailed a friend saying Jackson had made 'an appalling verbal attack and was threatening to become physical'. When police arrived at the property, they found the university lecturer with fatal knife wounds to her neck, shoulder and back. Jackson, 49, has now been jailed for life at Cardiff Crown Court, with a minimum tariff of 19 years, after pleading guilty to murder. Her death came just one day after she celebrated her 39th wedding anniversary with her 77-year-old husband Walter. The court heard how Mrs Cluysenaar, a university lecturer, moved from Belgium when Hitler's armies were closing in. She started a life in the UK and eventually became secretary of the Usk Valley Association, editor and poetry editor of Scintilla and a visiting teacher of creative writing at Cardiff University. But the court heard the peace of the idyllic home she shared with her husband was shattered when her stepson visited from his home in Sheffield. The court heard how Jackson had felt like 'a disappointment and a failure' because his highly-educated stepmother was so well known in academic circles. The murder took place at Mrs Cluysenaar's idyllic country cottage in Usk, South Wales . But, sentencing him, the judge he had been supported 'materially and emotionally' by the couple. Judge Neil Bidder told Jackson, a skilled carpenter: 'Your father and stepmother supported you both materially and emotionally. 'But you appear to have developed an irrational hatred of her and the murder was particularly brutal.' Prosecutor Roger Thomas QC had told the court how Jackson picked up the kitchen knife from a sideboard 'five feet away' during an argument with his stepmother. He said: 'The knife was clearly a household knife and was in the room and when the murder took place. 'It was obviously picked up in the course of the incident that took place.' Cardiff Crown Court heard that in the days before the murder, Jackson had been shouting and yelling at his stepmother and was 'choking with anger'. His father described his son as a strange character and a bully who 'drank like a fish and became a wild animal'. The Belgium-born writer was just three when she arrived Britain after her family fled the Nazis during

In Seattle, people would place orders via the company's mobile app. The hours of operation for delivery are still being determined.

An Indonesian woman accused of ordering the murder of her wealthy Australian husband is claiming to be of another religion so she won't lose her inheritance, a lawyer says. Noor Ellis, 45, is facing charges carrying the death penalty after allegedly paying her maid's boyfriend to kill Robert Ellis, 60. The successful businessman's body was found in a Bali rice field in October 2014. Ellis told police her husband had neglected her and was denying her money she was entitled to - a claim that shocked family and friends who knew the couple. British man Robert Kelvin Ellis (left), here with wife Noor Ellis (right) was found in a rice paddock with his throat cut in October 2014 . 60-year-old Robert Ellis's (left) body was found wrapped in plastic with his wrists and feet bound and was dumped in a ditch in a rice field near Sedang Village. Sons Peter (centre) and John (right) now face the loss of their mother too if she gets the death penalty for their father's murder . The lawyer for their two sons, Any Aryani, says even as she faces the death penalty, Ellis is making moves to protect her inheritance. Ms Any says Ellis is now stating her religion is Hindu, even though official documents say she's Muslim. Under family law, which closely follows religious custom in Indonesia, if a Muslim woman is convicted of her husband's murder, she loses her rights to benefit from it. 'If Noor thinks "I killed, I've been punished, but my inheritance rights remain", well that's not possible,' Ms Any told AAP. 'We have prepared for that. 'As soon as the court states Noor is guilty of killing her husband, we will take legal measures that will ensure Noor will not get even the smallest bit of Bob's fortune.' Already in custody for his murder is his Indonesian wife of 25 years, Noor Ellis, the couple's two maids and the boyfriend of one of the maids . If the suspects are found guilty of murder, they could face the death penalty . Ms Any says she's confident Mr Ellis's Perth-based sons Peter and John will be well provided for. The young men say they will support the court's decision if it sentences their mother to death for the crime, because they just want justice done. Peter Ellis learned about his father's death via the internet, and hopes to be better informed about the trial process as it continues. Police allege Noor Ellis paid a man known as Aril, the boyfriend of her maid, $A14,000 to kill Mr Ellis. They allege Aril and four others slashed Mr Ellis' throat in the kitchen of his villa while his wife was in another room. The trial last week heard from a friend of Noor Ellis who lent her the money to pay the killer. Police move Noor Ellis from her detention centre cell to an investigation room in the Crime Detectives Division of Bali Provincial Police on October 27 . Ellis has her handcuffs temporarily removed at Denpasar District Court in Bali on

Summary: Noor Ellis admits planning execution-style killing of husband Robert Ellis . Mr Ellis' neck was slashed and his body dumped at home in Bali in October . She is accused of claiming to be of another religion to keep her inheritance . Ellis is now stating her religion is Hindu, even though official documents say she's Muslim .


A groom who had a baby and got married on the same day has been spared jail after he glassed a guest at the reception. Karl and Jasmine Storey got married at Gretna Green, Scotland, in October last year - just hours after the 27-year-old gave birth to their baby boy Anthony. The family then returned to their hometown of Kielder, Northumberland, for the wedding reception at a local pub where a fight erupted, a court heard. Karl and Jasmine Storey married at Gretna Green in October last year, hours after she gave birth to their son Anthony (pictured) Newcastle Crown Court was told that the 26-year-old had spotted his brother Dale Storey, 20, being confronted by another guest and intervened by striking a pint glass over the other man. The guest had been leaving the reception with his daughter, who worked behind the bar but had been drinking after her shift, when he was told that Dale had possibly spiked her drink. He had returned to confront Dale when the row, which was captured on CCTV, broke out and resulted in the man, who has not been named, being taken to hospital. Prosecuting, Emma Dowling said: 'The victim's daughter works at the bar where the reception was taking place. 'She finished her shift and got very drunk very quickly leading to her and her father leaving the bar. 'As they were leaving, the victim heard whispers that Dale Storey had purposely got her very drunk with heavy spirits and potentially spiked her. He returned to the bar to confront him and pushed Dale. 'Karl Storey comes across and strikes him in the face with a pint glass before Dale joins in and gets the victim in a headlock before numerous punches are thrown. 'The victim describes being punched a number of times and had blood running down his face. The males were then split up.' The guest sustained six or seven small cuts to his eye and was taken to hospital for treatment that night. Miss Dowling read from the victim impact statement saying the victim was 'disgusted by the attack' and feels he could have been 'blinded'. At the wedding reception, the groom (centre with Mrs Storey) spotted his brother in an argument and intervened by smashing a glass on the guest's head . At 7.40am that morning, Mrs Storey gave birth to their son before they made the 45-mile round trip to Gretna for the wedding. They were chauffeured between the hospital, wedding and reception by Karl's other brother, Bryan. Speaking at the time, Karl said: 'He was as good as gold during the ceremony and it's turned out to be the most amazing day of my life. I can't take it all in.' Defending Donald Mcfall said: 'The defendant comes from a stable home, is a very dedicated family man and is a hard working individual. 'He has four children which requires a great deal of dedication. 'Karl and his brother were simply standing in the reception when Karl saw his brother being attacked and he's then reacted

A pledge to lift everyone except millionaires out of inheritance tax is to be revived by the Conservatives in their general election manifesto. Official forecasts suggest the number of families paying death duties will double over the next five years unless the current threshold of £325,000 is raised. Leaked Government documents suggest that the majority of estates currently liable would be lifted out of tax under plans drawn up for the Tories. The inheritance tax cut will not feature in today's Budget because it has been blocked by the Lib Dems . The inheritance tax cut will not feature in today's Budget because it has been blocked by the Liberal Democrats. The Conservatives proposed raising the threshold to £1million before the 2010 election, prompting the Labour government to allow married couples effectively to combine their allowances to £650,000. The Chancellor's plan to raise it further was killed off by the coalition with the Lib Dems, who insisted that raising the personal income tax allowance should take priority. David Cameron believes families who do not feel 'in any way mega-rich' are being dragged into the tax bracket, according to Government sources. One option is to create a new tax free band worth £175,000 per person on a family home, that could be transferred between married couples, making it worth a maximum of £350,000. The leaked documents show that by adding the existing maximum combined allowance for couples of £650,000 to the new maximum relief of £350,000, properties up to £1million would escape inheritance tax. The Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable (pictured) said the Tory plan was 'very cynical' The paper, written by officials for the Conservative Treasury minister David Gauke, notes the scheme will be 'very popular with the public'. 'It will allow you to say you are exempting those with modest homes from inheritance tax (with up to £1million of assets) exempted in certain circumstances,' the paper states. 'This reflects the concern raised by the public about rising house prices increasingly leading to estates with a modest house, particularly in London and the South East, paying inheritance tax.' It estimates that by 2019-20, around 20,000 fewer estates a year would be liable for any inheritance tax. Critics of the duty say that money bequeathed at death has already been taxed, so should not face further charges. They also point out that the super-rich often employ accountants to devise trusts and exemptions to reduce their liability. The Lib Dem Business Secretary Vince Cable said the Tory plan was 'very cynical'. 'If taxes can be cut – and it's very difficult within the present budget constraint – we've got to start at the bottom with people on low pay, not at the top,' he said. A revival of the inheritance tax pledge would be another pitch to the 'grey vote' that could prove crucial in May's election. The policy was credited with a surge in support for the Conservatives in 2007, which helped scare Gordon Brown into abandoning plans for a snap election. Experts pointed out that the Treasury has suggested the inheritance

Summary: Tories want to lift everyone except millionaires out of inheritance tax . Will not feature in today's Budget as blocked by the Liberal Democrats . Conservatives proposed raising threshold to £1million before 2010 election . But it will now be revived again in their general election manifesto .


A fit and healthy 41-year-old man died after a routine hernia operation in which the anaesthetist was 'too proud' to ask for help when the patient suffered an anaphylactic shock, an inquest heard. Jamie Hyde, from Morchard Bishop, Devon, died after suffering a rare reaction to a general anaesthetic during the routine operation at Tiverton and District Hospital. Anaesthetist Dr Andrei Rebrov did not realise initially that he had suffered an anaphylactic shock and so Mr Hyde went for more than one hour without being given potentially life-saving treatment. Jamie Hyde, 41, from Morchard Bishop, Devon, died after suffering an anaphylactic shock during a routine hernia operation, in which the anaesthetist was 'too proud' too ask other doctors for help for at least one hour . Mr Hyde suffered a rare reaction to the anaesthetic during a routine hernia operation at Tiverton and District Hospital (pictured). He later went into cardiac arrest after he not being given potentially life-saving treatment . The inquest into his death in Exeter, Devon, heard how Mr Hyde's heart rate and blood pressure began rising and falling rapidly after he was given the anaesthetic. At one point his heart rate fell to 30 beats per minute and nurse Lizzie Charlton-Ann suggested calling 999. But the inquest heard that Dr Rebrov refused to do so and instead called the critical care unit at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital in Exeter. He also turned down an offer of help from another doctor on site who was also an anaesthetist. Mr Hyde later went into cardiac arrest and was given CPR before being transferred to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital where he was placed on life support having suffered brain damage. His family turned off his machine on May 27, 2013, after he stopped responding to tests. Dr Rebrov said he had received training on how to deal with anaphylactic shocks but had not encountered one before. Coroner Elizabeth Earland asked Dr Michael Seymour, the surgeon who was in the operating theatre at the time, whether Dr Rebrov froze. He said: 'I don't think he froze, I think he reacted to the situation he was in but one of the problems was whatever he tried to do, worked for a while then Jamie deteriorated again.' Mr Hyde was moved to the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital in Exeter, Devon (pictured) and was put on life support after suffering brain damage, the inquest heard. However, he died a few days later on May 27, 2013 . The coroner heard how Mr Hyde had not been worried about the hernia operation beforehand and had expected to return home the same day. Mr Hyde's sister Catherine told the inquest that she believes Dr Rebrov was 'too proud' to ask for help when complications arose. She said: 'When I first saw Dr Rebrov at the hospital he was very upset and tearful. He said Jamie was a very nice guy. 'I felt sorry for him, but now I feel he was too proud to ask for help.' Nurse Ms Charlton- Ann said:
