A Melbourne woman has proved that a car on a hot summer’s day really can be hot enough to fry an egg. Actress Katherine Moss incredibly baked cookies, eggs, pasta and grilled cheese successfully on the dashboard of her car on a hot day with frightening results. The 'car cooking' series has a very important message, indicating that when a child or pet are left in a car on a hot day they are essentially being put in an oven. ‘The message is clear: don’t cook your pet,’ Ms Moss told Daily Mail Australia. ‘It started as a bit of fun but when the food started cooking so well and really quickly I thought “can you imagine a kid or a dog in the car?” It’s nuts to me.’ ‘It’s so important for people to realise what happens inside a hot car. Maybe people don’t know and there’s a level of ignorance about just how hot a car becomes.’ Scroll down for video . Katherine Moss was able to cook spaghetti in a pot of cold water overnight and fry an egg in just an hour . Ms Moss was amazed that the car became so hot that pasta could be cooked in a pot of cold water . The actress is the proud owner of a beautiful pug named Gil and can't believe that people still leave children and animals alone in cars with the window cracked open . According to Kidsafe Victoria: . On a 29 degree Celsius day a car can reach 44 degrees in just 10 minutes . It will reach a deadly 60 degrees in 20 minutes. Leaving the window down a few centimetres does little . The smaller the child or animal, the greater the risk. A young child will quickly dehydrate, lapse into unconsciousness and may never fully recover. The cause is particularly close to the 29-year-old’s heart as she owns a beautiful two-year-old pug named Gil and is often startled when she sees dogs left in cars with the window ajar. Ms Moss first started by putting a tray of dough on the dashboard, curious about the results. She was amazed when she had well-cooked cookies in just an hour and a half. ‘The cookies made my car smell amazing so I thought “maybe I should do this more often,”’ Ms Moss laughed. The same could not be said for the egg and grilled cheese experiments. ‘I had to air my car out after that and was scared I’d develop an ant problem so I think I’m done with car cooking for a little while,’ she said. However an interesting result was the awful taste of the food cooked by sunlight. ‘I ate the cookies but I learned quickly not to eat the car food. I didn’t feel very good afterwards! ‘I definitely wouldn’t promote it as an alternative method to cooking. More just as a demonstration,' she joked. The experiment started as a joke to prove how hot her car became in the Melbourne sun . In just fifteen minutes the chocolate was

Summary: A Melbourne woman has cooked food in her car in an online photo series . Katherine Moss is now pointing out the danger of leaving a child or pet in a car when it can be as intense an an oven on a hot day . She cooked choc chip cookies, an egg, pasta and grilled cheese . The dog-owner hopes the images will be powerful as they show the possible effect of a hot car on a child or dog without being too distressing .


United Nations investigators have found evidence ISIS are committing genocide against the Yazidi minority in Iraq. The human rights office published a horrifying report describing killings, torture, rape, sexual slavery and the use of child soldiers by the extremists, suggesting they may be guilty of 'war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide.' The report, based on interviews with more than 100 witnesses and survivors of attacks in Iraq between June 2014 and February 2015, highlights brutal ISIS attacks on the Yazidis. Scroll down for video . Atrocities: Thousands of members of the Yazidi religious minority were forced to flee a 2014 offensive by Islamic State militants in northern Iraq . They have made calls for the perpetrators to be brought to justice at the International Criminal Court. ISIS, which controls a swathe of territory in Iraq and neighbouring Syria, launched a series of systematic and widespread attacks on the Yazidi minority's heartland in the northern Nineveh province last August. The jihadists consistently separated out men and boys over the age of 14 to be executed, while younger boys were forced to become child solders and women and girls were abducted as the 'spoils of war', according to the investigators. Head of the investigation, Suki Nagra, said: 'These attacks were aimed at destroying the Yazidi as a group,' suggesting ISIS was guilty of 'genocide' against the minority. The report, which was ordered by the UN Human Rights Council last September following a request from the Iraqi government, pointed out that some villages 'were entirely emptied of their Yazidi population.' Evidence of genoside: A mass grave containing the remains of members of the Yazidi community was discovered by Kurdish forces near the Iraqi village of Sinuni in February . Many Yazidi women and girls were sold into sexual slavery or handed over to IS members as 'gifts', the report said, adding that witnesses had described hearing girls as young as six screaming for help as they were raped in a house used by IS fighters. Boys as young as eight were forced to convert to Islam and given religious and military training, including being forced to watch videos of beheadings, the report said. 'One of the most shocking thing was how organised the attacks have been,' Nagra told reporters. The Yazidis at first thought they would be given the same choice as Christians in places overrun by the jihadists: to convert to Islam, pay a tax or leave. But then the fighters received orders via telephone, and suddenly the men and older boys were being marched off to be executed. 'There was a clear chain of command,' she said. Innocent: A Yazidi child whose family fled a 2014 offensive by Islamic State militants at the Dohuk shelter for displaced civilians in Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region . According to witness and victim testimony, foreign fighters from at least 10 countries, including a couple of westerners, had taken part in the attacks, as had some people from neighbouring villages. The Yazidis, whose ancient religion has elements of Christianity, Islam and Zoroastrianism, are considered to be devil

Greek ministers have threatened to send ‘millions of immigrants and thousands of jihadis’ to Western Europe if it is forced out of the euro. The country’s defence and foreign ministers made the warning as eurozone creditors urge them to speed up promised reforms to receive payments on a £172billion bailout. Without the funding, the country – which shares a border with Turkey - will go bust, forcing it out of the EU’s single currency. Scroll down for video . Greek ministers threatened to send 'thousands of jihadis' to Western Europe as pressure mounts on them to speed up on promised reforms ahead of a bailout. Hundreds of extremists have left Europe via Turkey to join militants in Syria (a radical is pictured in Raqqa, above) Turkey has become the preferred transit route for European jihadists travelling to fight in the Middle East for extremist organisations such as Islamic State. Nikos Kotzias, the Greek foreign minister, told EU colleagues in a meeting last week that there would be far-reaching consequences in the event of a breakdown of order in his country. He said: ‘There will be tens of millions of immigrants and thousands of jihadists, if you take out Greece. ‘The Western Balkans is not stabilized. Then you have the Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, North Africa.’ In a similar warning, Panos Kammenos, the Greek defence minister, said that if the eurozone allowed Greece to go bust it would give EU travel papers to illegal immigrants crossing its borders or the thousands held in detention centres. Nikos Kotzias, the Greek foreign minister, said there would be far-reaching consequences in the event of a breakdown . He said: ‘If they deal a blow to Greece, then they should know the migrants will get papers to go to Berlin. ‘If Europe leaves us in the crisis, we will flood it with migrants, and it will be even worse for Berlin if in that wave of millions of economic migrants there will be some jihadists of the Islamic State too.’ Mr Kammenos, who is the leader of the Right-wing Independent Greeks party which is in coalition with Greece’s ruling Syriza government, said: ‘If they strike us, we will strike them. We will give to migrants from everywhere the documents they need to travel in the Schengen area, so that the human wave could go straight to Berlin.’ Most Greeks want the country to keep the euro, but two-thirds also continue to back the government’s tough stance to renegotiate the bailout package. Last month, Greece and its Eurozone creditors struck a deal to extend the Greek bailout to June. Alexis Tsipras, the Greek prime minister and leader of the Syriza movement, had to bow to German-led pressure to stick to the broad terms of its £176bn bailout in order to obtain the four month extension. The country’s creditors in the 19-country eurozone endorsed Greece’s request for the extension after the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund — the main institutions handling Greece’s loans — provisionally backed a list of reforms that Athens proposed.

Summary: Greeks threatened to send 'millions of immigrants' to Western Europe . Comes as creditors urge them to speed up reform for the bailout . Without the £172billion sum the country will be forced out of eurozone . If that happens, ministers threatened pushing jihadis towards Britain .


Alabama police say a toddler has died after drinking from a bottle of grape soda believed to have been spiked with methadone. 31-year-old Cassie Townsend was babysitting 2-year-old Demonie Hendon Friday and noticed that a bottle containing methadone was not where she'd last placed it, Bessemer police told Al.com. Hendon was just days away from his third birthday. Victim: Alabama police say toddler Demonie Hendno has died after drinking from a bottle of grape soda believed to have been laced with methadone. He was just days away from his third birthday . Methadone is a medication used for opioid addiction, the website explained. Sgt. Charlie Burton told Al.com that Townsend brought the boy to a local hospital, UAB West, because he appeared to be sick. Burton said the pair got out and traveled to a residence before going to Children's Hospital, but the boy was unresponsive and later died. Al.com reported that Townsend was charged with chemical endangerment of a child -- before that was upgraded to chemical endangerment exposure to a child resulting in death. It was not known if Townsend had an attorney. Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates told the website that toxicology tests have yet to come back. Al.com reported that March 15 Demonie would have had his third birthday. Townsend was either the boy's godmother or aunt, authorities told WSFA. Caretaker: Cassie Townsend, pictured, is believed to have either been the boy's aunt or godmother .

Kenny McDowall would welcome Ally McCoist back into the Rangers dug-out were he to make a surprise return from gardening leave. The question of who leads the squad for the remainder of a flagging promotion campaign is high on the agenda for Dave King and the new Ibrox directors. McDowall became caretaker manager when McCoist left under the previous regime before Christmas, but began working his own notice period in January. Kenny McDowall and Ally McCoist (right) worked together before the latter left Rangers on gardening leave . Interim chairman Paul Murray has stated that new board — which has already been approached by number of managerial candidates as they weigh up a longer-term appointment — will have to speak to both men to ‘ask what they want to do’ given that they remain employees. A financial agreement over McCoist’s remaining contract may well be the more likely outcome, but McDowall would be happy to see his old colleague back for the Championship run-in were that to transpire. ‘I was working with Ally, so obviously that would appeal to me,’ said McDowall. ‘But it’s a difficult one to answer because the board will obviously have their own ideas.’ McDowall said it wasn't for him to decide but that he would welcome Walter Smith back to the club too . Another former Ibrox boss, Walter Smith, refused at the weekend to completely rule out what would be a third stint in charge, but stressed that he wasn’t looking for it ‘in any way, shape or form.’ McDowall was first-team coach during Smith’s hugely successful second spell and admitted his presence would provide a guaranteed boost. ‘It’s not for me to decide,’ said McDowall, who is keen for coach Ian Durrant to return to first-team duties after being demoted by the old board. ‘It’s for Walter to discuss with the board, if that’s the case. ‘But Walter Smith going anywhere would absolutely give the place a lift. He is a great man and has done so much in the game. Why would you not, at the end of the day? But, as I say, it’s not my call. McCoist left the Ibrox club before Christmas on gardening leave and McCall later did the same . ‘We had a very successful time when he was here but times are different. It’s been a tough, tough time we’ve had since he left. ‘Ally did a fantastic job without getting a whole lot of credit. But that will come eventually.’ The new directors are likely to speak with McDowall about his own future once tonight’s game against Queen of the South is out of the way. They met yesterday with former Fulham boss Felix Magath, who is a Rangers shareholder and has ideas on how the footballing department could move forward. But he is not thought to be an immediate candidate to replace McDowall. Felix Magath is not thought to be an immediate candidate to replace McDowall despite a meeting with the club . ‘Every day, there is someone else being quoted — Walter, Felix Magath, Billy

Shantanu Starick has spent almost three years traveling the world - and it hasn't cost him a cent. The 26-year-old from Byron Bay has managed his globe-trotting adventure by trading his skills as a photographer for everything he needs, from food to shelter and transport. 'If someone told you that you can get around the world without spending a cent, they would tell you it's not possible. Unless, that is, if you can change your perception and allow yourself to create different rules and a different way of thinking,' Mr Starick told Daily Mail Australia. Scroll down for video . Shantanu Starick has travelled across 6 continents over 33 months without spending a cent . Mr Starick trades his photography skills for life's basics- food, shelter and transport to his next trade. A breathtaking shot of the Brooklyn Grange's Rooftop Farms which are giving new life to on an old navy yard . Before he started out, he was told it wasn't possible to travel the globe using only the 'bartering economy.' But he set off anyway, with no currency and contracts - just a camera and 'an eager smile.' Starting his career as a freelance photographer, Mr Starick said modern day workplaces tended to funnel creative people like himself into specialties, where what was he was looking for was diversity. He decided to take off on the journey of a lifetime taking money out of the conversation and allowing his creative pursuits to take precedence. 'Money can really hinder creativity,' Mr Starick said. 'Anything can seem possible without applying that restriction,' he added. Mr Starick claims that by eliminating money from his travels he's been able to connect on a different level creatively with his clients. 'The real gem that comes from trading is how we can start to do more creative work with others, without the conversation focusing on money.' Mr Starick likens his philosophy to that of companies like Uber and Airbnb where there is no cash exchange between clients and more focus on personal interaction. 'Really, an uber driver is no different to a taxi driver. The huge difference is, that at the end of the day, you are being dropped at the airport like a relative is dropping you off. It's like being dropped to a restaurant by a friend.' Diversity is exquisite: Mr Starick's unofficial mantra leads him to photograph a diverse range of subjects . With 197 trades under his belt Mr Starick's travels have spanned 6 continents with Antarctica in his sights . Mr Starick, who often stays in the homes of his clients, has become accustom to the nomadic lifestyle. He says after almost three years of house hopping, it takes longer for his host to get comfortable than he does. 'People often tell their guests to make themselves at home and I think I put them at ease by being so comfortable.' 'It takes me about two minutes to be drinking milk out of the carton, even if I have just met you two minutes ago. I walk into a home, and

Summary: Shantanu Starick has spent the last 33 months travelling without trading any currency . The nomad trades his photographs for life's basic necessities- food, shelter and transport to his next trade . He has completed 197 trades and traveled to six continents, with Antarctica in his sights . Mr Starick said taking money out of the equation means he's been able to connect with his clients on a deeper level .

Collectors of Diana mugs and Will and Kate plates get ready - the new royal baby is set to bring with it a new piece of collectible memorabilia. To mark the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's second child, a £5 coin will be issued to celebrate the occasion. The forthcoming royal baby - due mid to late April - will be fourth in line to the throne and is not expected to ever rule as monarch, but just like older brother Prince George the occasion will be marked with a commemorative coin. A commorative £5 coin has been issued to celebrate the birth of the second royal baby. A similar commission was made at the birth of Prince George (his coin pictured) The Queen, the baby's great-grandmother, approved the decision at a meeting of the Privy Council at Buckingham Palace on March 19. The coins are anticipated to be very popular as thousands of commemorative coins were struck to celebrate the arrival of George in July 2013 and sold out within days. The Royal Mint produced 10,000 solid silver crown-sized £5 coins, which cost £80 each, and 2,013 (equivalent to his birth year) 22 carat gold sovereigns, which cost £800 each. Both featured the prince's namesake St George. In July 2013 after the birth of Prince George 2013 coins were issued with those born on the same day entitled to a free 'lucky' silver coin . Babies born on the same day as George were also entitled to receive one of 2,013 free 'lucky' silver pennies. When George turned one, the occasion was also marked by a commemorative £5 coin - making him the first member of the royal family to have his first birthday honoured with a new UK coin. Only 7,500 of the sterling silver crowns were cut and feature the royal arms in a cross-form design. His christening was also marked with a coin, which was decorated with traditional lilies and cherubs. As well as his birth coin Prince George also had a second £5 coin to mark his first birthday, above .

Summary: The £5 crown-sized coin will be released after baby's birth in April . Decision was approved by the Queen on March 19 . Coins with St George designs for Prince George's birth sold out in days .


Travellers could soon fly non-stop from Europe to Australia - or even further - under plans to change how planes use fuel. A collaborative team of scientists from nine institutions across Europe has designed a so-called Cruiser-Feeder concept that would allow planes to refuel in mid-air. The system would involve a refuelling plane, carrying enough kerosene to top up to five passenger planes, located at various points along flight routes. Scroll down for video . A collaborative team of scientists from nine European universities has designed its Cruiser-Feeder concept that would allow planes to refuel in mid-air (illustrated). The system would involve a refuelling plane carrying enough kerosene to top up to five passenger planes located at various points along flight routes . As the passenger plane approaches, the refuelling jet would take off, fly beneath the plane before connecting specially-designed and made fuel tanks and pumps. It would then offload the required amount of kerosene before disconnecting and returning to the ground. An alternative scenario would see the jet circling in the air until it is needed. Air-to-air refuelling would only be carried out near main airways and away from inhabited areas. It is a technique already used by the military, for example, to refuel state aircraft. The civil concept was developed as part of a wider project called Research for a Cruiser Enabled Air Transport Environment (Recreate).

The civil concept was developed as part of a wider project called Research for a Cruiser Enabled Air Transport Environment (Recreate). The researchers, led by the National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) in Amsterdam and the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), said kerosene reserves make up about a third of the weight on long-distance passenger flights at take-off. Reducing them and refuelling mid-air could mean 'huge savings' and figures suggest fuel burn, and therefore the amount needed at take-off, could be reduced by up to 23 per cent for every 6,000 nautical miles flown by a plane carrying 250 passengers. However, it is not known how much extra energy, fuel and carbon emissions will be released as a result of having more planes in the sky. Nor is it clear how much the reduction in fuel burn and costs created by causing passenger planes to make fewer stops would offset those used by the individual, heavy refuelling jets. MailOnline has contacted the researchers to learn more. The scientists have spent the last three years studying the

Summary: Project is called Research for a Cruiser Enabled Air Transport Environment . Refuelling planes would carry enough fuel for up to five aircraft . Simulations have proved that the concept is technically possible and could allow for non-stop flights between Zurich and Sydney, for example . Figures suggest it could cut the amount of fuel needed by a quarter .


An oil painting has been proven to be one of Claude Monet's - after scientists discovered the artist painted over his own signature. The 1891 painting, titled 'A Haystack in the Evening Sun', was largely unknown and its origin had never been verified. But a team of researchers from the University of Jyväskylä in Finland painstakingly unearthed the signature. Scroll down for video . An 1891 oil painting - titled 'A Haystack in the Evening Sun' - has been proven to be one of Claude Monet's despite the artist painting over his own signature . The painting has been owned by the Gösta Serlachius Fine Arts Foundation, also in Finland, for more than 50 years. It is thought to be part of a wider series by Monet with all the pieces illustrating stacks of hay in fields after the harvest season. The painting was verified after a special camera was used to examine the composition of the work. This allowed researchers to see different layers including a previous signature by Monet. It is thought to be part of a wider series by Monet (above) with all the pieces illustrating stacks of hay in fields after the harvest season . Ilkka Pölönen, a researcher, said the camera scans one 'line' at a time. He told ArtDaily: 'When the camera is moved using the scanner an image of the whole picture can be obtained.' The Fine Arts Foundation said the artwork is the first Monet painting to be held in a Finnish public collection. The other paintings from the series are held at various galleries including the Art Institute of Chicago, the National Gallery of Scotland and the J. Paul Getty Museum in California. X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is a non-destructive technique, which can identify the presence of certain pigments. It was first used in the 1940s and applied to paintings in the 1950s. The technique involves bombarding the artwork with x-rays so powerful that they cause atoms in the picture’s layers to emit ‘florescent’ x-rays of their own. XRF can be used to identify the colours of hidden paintings or to see earlier versions of famous pieces. By mapping the x-rays of copper, for blue and green, iron, for yellow, orange and brown, and mercury, for red, scientists can see full-colour 'maps' of previous versions. In this case a special camera was used to examine the composition of the work. This allowed researchers to see different layers including a previous signature - verifying that the painting was by Monet.

Summary: Oil-painting titled 'A Haystack in the Evening Sun' is from 1891 . Researchers in Finland used special technique to unearth signature .


A high school has been caught out editing photos of its students to rid them of piercings, acne, freckles and even one boy's monobrow and moustache. Students and parents at Daylesford Secondary College in Victoria were left outraged when they saw their 2015 school photos last week. Year 10 students Jacki Lipplegoes and Annemieke Visser both had nose piercings edited out without warning and claim the shape of their noses was changed in the process. Their 15-year-old classmate, Ethan Brown, had his eyebrows edited to remove his monobrow. Ethan Brown, who is in year 10 at Daylesford Secondary College in Victoria, had his eyebrows edited (right) to remove his monobrow in his school photo . 'I pulled my photo from the folder and saw there was something wrong with my nose. I was really confused. One of my friends noticed they had photoshopped my piercing out,' Jacki told Daily Mail Australia. 'Everyone in my school who had piercings had them blurred out... but we were never told to take them out, there was no warning.' 'It didn't look like me... I was really angry and disappointed. Principal Graeme Holmes admitted the school's approach to removing piercings was wrong and they will offer students the original photos at no cost. 'Anyone with piercings was photoshopped but they also did freckles too,' Jacki said. 'Someone had his monobrow and moustache photoshopped - that's a completely different story... (facial hair) is natural. 'It's like they were trying to make the perfect teenager.' Ethan's grandmother said he was left feeling 'very disappointed' when he realised his eyebrows had been edited in his school photo. Year 10 students at Daylesford Secondary College in Victoria, Jacki Lipplegoes (left) and Annemieke Visser (right), say their school photos were edited to rid them of their nose piercings . Jacki Lipplegoes, 15, says her nose ring was photoshopped out and altered her nose in the process . Annemieke Visser was wearing a nose stud as per school policy, but it was still edited out anyway . Mr Holmes said the edits were made because of school policy. 'I acknowledge that we took the wrong approach in photoshopping piercings out of our school photos and I can assure the school community that this will not happen again,' he said. 'We do allow our students to have facial piercings - however, due to safety reasons, those piercings may only be studs, and cannot include rings, sleepers or hoops.' But 15-year-old Annemieke Visser says she did have a stud in and it was blurred anyway. 'My nose ring was photoshopped and my face was airbrushed. My nose isn't the same - there's brown marks near it,' she said. Year 10 students Jacki Lipplegoes (left) and Annemieke Visser (right) both had nose piercings edited out without warning and claim the shape of their noses was changed in the process . 'We've always been told no rings, but I have a stud. I've never been told to take it out and I'm still wearing it today. 'It kind of felt like they didn't like your image

Reaching up to close my kitchen blind, I catch sight of my neighbour in her garden. She raises her hand to wave, then stops. Rooted to the spot, horror etched on her face, she looks as though she’ll never get over the shock. But I’m not surprised. My face is the stuff of nightmares. Covered in a cotton mask and wrapped in clingfilm (right), I look just like Hannibal Lecter. I’m swaddled like this because, according to a new bestselling book, The Japanese Skincare Revolution, steaming your face by covering it in clingfilm is the secret to beautifully smooth and rejuvenated skin. A new bestselling book, The Japanese Skincare Revolution, says that steaming your face and covering it in clingfilm is the key to rejuvenated skin . Japanese women are renowned for their beautiful skin but, until now, no book in English has revealed the secrets of their beauty routines. Now, we can discover the joys of massage to tone the muscles of the face and natural remedies for wrinkles, sagging, oiliness, pimples and blackheads — including a step-by-step guide to the clingfilm mask. The idea is that the heat created by your breath and body warmth will encourage pores to open, so that the moisture from any water, creams or serums applied to the face will soak into the deeper layers of the skin, boosting collagen. ‘Moisture content is the most important factor in a rejuvenated complexion,’ says the book’s author Chizu Saeki, a celebrity beauty guru in Japan. ‘If skin is hydrated, it will look younger, firmer and fresher.’ She promises that her mask, which consists of water, followed by hydrating lotion, then serum — will give me an instant youth boost. If I follow it to the letter, I can wave goodbye to Botox, as water is the secret weapon in the war on ageing. Surprisingly enough, the idea does have medical backing. Frances Childs (pictured) gave the bizarre technique a try and wrapped her own face in clingfilm to see what the results were like . ‘We use clingfilm in severe cases of psoriasis to encourage cream to work at a deeper dermal level,’ says Dr Sunil Chopra, director of The London Dermatology Centre in Wimpole Street, London. Dr Chopra says healing cream is applied to the skin, then wrapped in clingfilm before being left overnight in a process called Occlusion Therapy. The heat from the body encourages pores to open and the cream to absorb, rather than just sitting on the skin’s surface. In the past year, my complexion has begun to look grey and tired. At 46, the lines around my eyes and mouth are becoming pronounced. So if wrapping my face in clingfilm helps me retain some semblance of youth, I’m willing to give it a try. Frances (pictured) bought cosmetic facial mask sheets and first soaked them in water before applying NARS hydrating fluid to the mask . Having bought a cosmetic facial mask sheet — a thin piece of cotton in the shape of a face with the eyes, nostrils and lips cut

Summary: We'd all like younger, fresher looking skin but it's not always easy . The Japanese Skincare Revolution says steaming your face is the answer . Frances Childs tested out the bizarre routine for FEMAIL .


A couple of weeks back, after Chelsea’s fiery 1-0 win over Everton, Twitter’s support team took swift and decisive action over a series of deeply unpleasant tweets. On February 10, 2015, one user wrote ‘I hope you get shot you utter w*****’ in response to a piece I had written about Branislav Ivanovic’s reaction to Everton substitute James McCarthy. The same day, an Arsenal supporter sent the message ‘kill yourself’, without even referencing anything I'd written about the club. It was by no means a unique experience. Branislav Ivanovic got to grips with James McCarthy in angry exchange during Chelsea's win over Everton... The incident, a major flashpoint in the game at Stamford Bridge last month, was covered by reporters... And at that point the Twitter users took it as their invite to join the party . Click HERE to follow Neil Ashton on Twitter . There was worse, much worse, but publishing the depressing details, which would bring a family member of mine into the public domain, would be an invasion of privacy - and the accounts involved, along with many others that week, were suspended for violating Twitter’s rules. The motivation behind this piece is because the Daily Mail’s head of sport was genuinely taken aback by the scale and sheer venom of the attacks that can take place on this forum. This is the life of a football reporter in 2015, waking up to indiscriminate messages each morning in the same casual manner you check your phone for texts. Social media should be a theatre for healthy debate, a chance to forcefully bat around some ideas or opinions about a sport many of us have devoted our lives to. Unfortunately Twitter has become the elephant in the room, the one subject we are reluctant to discuss in depth because an admission that the medium can be psychologically taxing is perceived as a weakness. Toughen up, grow some, and all those other things people say when they are unable to accept that these are serious issues to confront. The experiences described above are by no means novel: on the night of Saturday December 11, 2010 it was impossible to monitor the number of people who threatened my life when Carlos Tevez’s transfer request was reported. A piece about Carlos Tevez, pictured here unhappy at being substituted by Roberto Mancini in December 2010, just before his transfer request, did not go down too well with some people out in cyber space . Tevez is much happier now at Juventus... Twitter can still be just as horrible and angry a place though . There are people who will tell you that this is part of the game, that these attacks are just Twitter trolls hiding behind the anonymity of a keyboard in a bedroom at their parents’ house. If it is true, it doesn’t mean we have to accept it, either.

A herbal treatment nicknamed ‘pig pungent weed’ has become the first traditional Chinese medicine to be approved for use in the UK. The plant Sigesbeckia, which has an unpleasant smell, is renowned for its ability to treat aches and pains – including those caused by arthritis. It is the active ingredient in Phynova Joint and Muscle Relief Tablets, which have just been licensed by drug safety watchdog the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency. Healing power: Sigesbeckia is the active ingredient in a new drug which have just been licensed by safety watchdog the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency . The tablets are expected to go on sale online within the next month. Many herbal products have vanished from sale in recent years after a 2004 EU directive banned any medicines that were not licensed from being sold. The directive also made it more difficult for medicines to get a licence as it demanded they had to have been in use for 30 years, of which at least 15 years had to be in the EU. Some Western herbal medicines have managed to gain licences in a process costing thousands of pounds to verify their ingredients. But the Phynova tablets are the first traditional Chinese medicine to be approved. Robert Miller, chief executive of Oxford-based Phynova, said he was ‘extremely proud’, adding: ‘This has come from years of working with our Chinese colleagues. Helping weed: Sigesbeckia is renowned for its ability to treat aches and pains caused by arthritis . ‘Britain can now benefit from having access to high quality, regulated Chinese medicines.’ He also said that the company is planning to apply for a licence for a second traditional Chinese medicine, a cold and flu remedy. Dr Chris Etheridge, a medical herbalist and adviser to Potter’s Herbals, celebrated the ‘good news’, adding that Sigesbeckia, which is not commonly used in the West, ‘offers an alternative to those who prefer not to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for muscle and joint pain’. But Michael McIntyre, chairman of the European Herbal and Traditional Medicine Practitioners Association, warned that the new product demonstrates the difficulties the EU rules created for supplying herbal products safely to the public. He said it is ‘almost impossible to satisfy the licensing conditions’. He added that some people have therefore turned to the internet to buy unlicensed products, but this means they have ‘no idea whether they are safe or effective’. According to figures from market researchers Ipsos MORI, at least six million Britons have consulted a Western or traditional Chinese herbal practitioner in the last two years.

Summary: Drug containing ‘pig pungent weed’ has just been licensed . Sigesbeckia is the active ingredient in the pain relief tablets . The weed is renowned for its ability to treat aches and pains .


Professor Patrick Pullicino, a leading neurologist who has criticised plans to ask every ill or elderly person if they want to die at home or in hospital . A plan to draw up a ‘death list’ of how every ill or elderly person wants to die has been criticised as a dangerous and worrying idea. The influential Commons Health Select Committee yesterday called for a new database listing whether people would prefer to die at home or in hospital. They said two-thirds want to spend their final days at home – but half still die in hospital. A register of preferred options would help to stop this happening, MPs on the committee said. But Professor Patrick Pullicino, a leading neurologist, said the plan simply perpetuates the ‘central flaw’ of the discredited Liverpool Care Pathway. The professor, who was the first senior doctor to expose the failures of the LCP three years ago, said such a register carried huge risks. Those who wished to die at home might be denied essential care, said Professor Pullicino, a consultant neurologist with East Kent Universities NHS Foundation Trust. He also said it was not possible to know when a person will die. The LCP was abolished last July following several examples of ‘shocking’ abuse, many of them unveiled by the Daily Mail. Many families complained that their relatives were sedated with a ‘chemical cosh’ then killed by the removal of food and fluids, leading Care Services Minister Norman Lamb to denounce the LCP as a ‘national disgrace’. Professor Pullicino said the latest plan risked making the same mistakes. ‘This predication of a specific line of treatment on a prognostication of imminent death that is not evidence-based was the central flaw of the LCP and is perpetuated in this report.’ Research into the question of how to diagnose imminent death accurately was ‘completely absent from the list’ of priorities in the report, he added. The doctor said the danger was particularly acute for those with dementia. Around two-thirds of people want to spend their final days at home – but half still die in hospital (file picture) The report was also criticised by Dr Tony Cole, chairman of the Medical Ethics Alliance, a pro-life group of medical organisations. ‘There have always been difficulties in predicting imminent death,’ he said. ‘A patient at the end of life may also have a treatable condition which could be relieved. People making their own end of life plan may not have foreseen this.’ The MPs’ report says most people who express a preference say they would like to die at home but this was made difficult by disparate community palliative care services. Sarah Wootton, of Dignity in Dying, the assisted suicide lobby group, said there was ‘a real need for greater information and support for people approaching the end of life to enable them to plan ahead’.

Summary: Plans will let every ill and elderly person say how they will want to die . Database would list if people would want final days at home or hospital . But leading neurologist Patrick Pullicino has criticised the proposal . Says the plan is too similar to the discredited Liverpool Care Pathway . The LCP was abolished last year following examples of 'shocking abuse'


Hillary Clinton has been accused of ignoring official advice issued by her office while Secretary of State against using private email addresses by using her own server housed in her New York home. The leading Democratic presidential hopeful has faced criticism for using her @clintonemail.com email address for official government business, especially during the aftermath of the terrorist attack on the US consulate based in the Libyan city of Benghazi. According to leaked diplomatic cables, the State Department warned employees against using their own private email addresses for official business. Scroll down for video . Hillary Clinton, pictured, advised State Department staff against using their own private email accounts for official business despite hosting her own email server in her New York home leading to security fears . Clinton held the server at her Chappaqua home in New York, pictured, according to Internet registry records . In the memo, which according to Fox News, was unclassified, State Department officials were advised to 'avoid conducting official Department business from your personal e-mail accounts'. They were also warned against using 'auto-forward' tools to channel emails to their own accounts. Clinton has handed over 55,000 pages of emails to the State Department following the revelations. The cable advised State Department officials that 'online adversaries' had attempted to hack into the private email accounts of its employees. The June 2011 advice contained in the cable only applied to 'sensitive but unclassified' information. This could include personal information of State Department officials or members of the public, business secrets, plus ongoing investigations or records about visa or asylum applications. The cable was signed Hillary Clinton, but it is not apparent whether she was aware of its content as many official memos would bear her name if she was in Washington at the time. Fox News contacted an unnamed computer hacker as part of its own investigation into the Clinton email issue, who used a publicly available tool called 'The Harvester' to determine how many email addresses Clinton used while at the State Department. According to the hacker: 'Given the sequential similarities to hdr22@ I suspect some others found by my search may also have been used by HRC. 'I suspect hdr18 -hdr21 may have been used by HRC as well as h@clintonemail.com and hillary@clintonemail.com....I’d also be interested to learn if there were ever hdr1@ thru hdr17@.' Clinton's staff maintained that the former Secretary of State only used the one email address, understood to be hdr22@clintonemail.com. Clinton has been forced to hand over 55,000 emails as a result of a House of Representatives investigation into the September 11, 2012 terrorist attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, pictured . White House press secretary Josh Earnest was questioned on Hillary Clinton's email policy . However, the hacking expert claimed several slightly different email accounts existed, which may have been used by the Democratic hopeful. Clinton's critics fear she has been able to control what information will be made public as she will have control over the data. Under the Freedom of Information Act, the government can censor or

Summary: Hillary Clinton warned State Department staff against personal email use . A cable advised that 'online adversaries' were targeting personal accounts . Clinton continued to use her @clintonemail.com account despite advice . The former Secretary of State has now released 55,000 pages of emails .


The darkest hour for James McCarthy came at Christmas when he felt the familiar, sickening tear all footballers dread. As one of the most influential players in Everton’s squad, McCarthy was aiming to starting afresh in the New Year. December had been a write-off due to a hamstring problem but he had put the hard yards in to ensure 2015 began brightly. Then his world fell in. ‘It was so frustrating,’ said McCarthy. ‘You come back and then you break down. You come back again and then you break down again. The lowest moment was having done all the work and it happened again. Everton's influential midfielder James McCarthy suffered a frustrating injury setback at the turn of the year . McCarthy admits the lowest moment came was breaking down having worked so hard to regain his fitness . ‘I’d been delighted to get back. It was Christmas and I was looking to get going but then I played a couple of games over a few days (against Stoke and Newcastle) and it went. Mentally it was tough. It’s never nice sitting in the stands. You want to get out there and help. ‘We have changed a few things and the manager has looked into every detail, such as my training load. I’ve changed my boots, the inner soles of my shoes. They looked at my car but that was okay. I am just delighted to be back. Now it is about putting things right.’ There is an unmistakable sense that the Republic of Ireland midfielder is eager to make up for lost time. Everton’s season was ticking along nicely before he was injured in Wolfsburg in November. Since then, the collapse has been bewildering. How much has been down to his absence? He has missed 14 games so far and Everton have won just two; with him in the team the win percentage jumps from 14.3 to 36 and they are also more potent in front of goal. McCarthy is all smiles with Everton team-mate Seamus Coleman during training at Finch Farm on Wednesday . They will hope that proves to be the case on Thursday night in the Europa League last-16 clash at Goodison with Dynamo Kiev. Everton manager Roberto Martinez is at his most gushing when talking about McCarthy. He has been a huge influence, dating back to when he signed him for Wigan from Hamilton Academicals in June 2009, shortly after he was Scotland’s Young Player of the Year. Growing up in the Castlemilk area of Glasgow, McCarthy was a gifted footballer and both Reading and Liverpool wanted to sign him. ‘I didn’t want to be away from home when I was that age,’ McCarthy explains. ‘I was only 15. Liverpool and Reading both looked after me really well but I was happy to stay at Hamilton. I made the right decision. I wanted to play as many games as I could.’ Something with Martinez clicked when they met and the education he received in Wigan has accelerated his development. McCarthy and Everton take on Dynamo Kiev at

This breathtaking video captures the moment a cyclist traverses an almost-vertical rock face to conquer the world's most dangerous trail - before making a return journey. Michal Kollbek was filmed defying gravity as he made his way over the famed White Line in Sedona - a near impossible route carved into a rock in Arizona. The stunning one-minute clip was filmed using a drone flying overhead and sees Polish rider Kollbek gradually make his way along the path with Red Rock State Park seen in the background. Scroll down for video . Death-defying: Daredevil Michal Kollbek rides his bike across the famed White Line in Sedona, in Arizona's Red Rock State Park . The entire clip was shot from a drone that showed how Kollbek went all the way across the rock face, turned, and then came all the way back, completing the trip without any problems. Kollbek, 30, has had practice with extreme stunts before and the Polish rider has claimed numerous downhill racing titles. He claimed that he attempted the heart-stopping stunt because he happened to be in the area. To prepare for the horizontal ride, Kollbeck had to let air out of his tires to maxmimise their grip on the rocky face. He then adjusted the suspension on the bikes frame and raised his saddle and walked across the route himself to create a mental picture beforehand. 'I live for thrills like this, and I would have tackled this line whether it was filmed or not,' he told the Huffington Post. No fear: The 30-year-old Polish cyclist was captured riding across this almost-vertical cliff in a video filmed using a drone . 'The drone was a bonus, and [videographer Marshall Mullen] did a great job capturing the moment. However, it's not for everyone, so I strongly advise inexperienced riders against trying this line.' 'Conquering this ride was all mental,' he told HuffPost. 'I was confident with my skills and knew I could execute it. The key was to block the out the scary thoughts about the potential danger, so I just focused on the trail and not on the terrifying space around me.' Set amid the strikingly beautiful Red Rocks, Sedona is known for its famed arts community. Nearly 100 art galleries are in the main town and each year the Sedona International Film Festival and Jazz Festival are held in the town. Besides its bustling bohemian culture, Sedona is also a huge draw for mountain bikers, off-roaders and hikers. Experienced rider: Kollbek, 30, has had practice with this sort of stunt before after claiming numerous downhill racing titles . In the one-minute clip, the rider traverses the seemingly impossible route of the White Line before making his way back again . Home to 12,000 people, Sedona is one of the most left-leaning communities in the United States set among 19 square miles of striking red rocks that resemble a Martian landscape. A 90 minute drive or 100 mile journey away from Phoenix, the twon itself sits 4,500 feet above sea level, with a mixture of mountain and desert

Drew Peterson, a former suburban Chicago police officer convicted of killing his third wife and suspected in his fourth wife's disappearance, pleaded not guilty today to trying to hire a hitman to kill the prosecutor who helped put him in prison. Peterson's feet were shackled as he waived a preliminary hearing in the court in Randolph County in southern Illinois. He was charged in February with soliciting an unidentified person to find someone he could pay to kill Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow. Circuit Judge Richard Brown also granted Peterson's request for a speedy trial, meaning he would go to trial within 160 days or by July 28. Randolph County State's Attorney Jeremy Walker said the state would ready by July 13. More charges: Drew Peterson, pictured in 2009, is now charged with trying to hire a hitman to kill the Illinois prosecutor who put him in prison. He maintains his innocence . Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow - who pursued the case against Peterson, which was a national sensation - won a conviction in September 2012 . The former Bolingbrook police sergeant has been in prison since he was convicted in 2012 of Kathleen Savio's death eight years earlier. He is serving a 38-year sentence. His fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, disappeared in 2007. Peterson, 61, is charged with solicitation of murder for hire and one count of solicitation of murder, both felonies carrying a maximum sentence of at least 30 years in prison. Last month's announcement is the latest chapter in a case that became a media sensation almost from the day Peterson's 23-year-old fourth wife, Stacy, disappeared in 2007. A massive effort to find her included divers and cadaver dogs searching ponds and thick woods near Peterson's Bolingbrook home. The search was unsuccessful, with Peterson accused but never charged in the slaying of his young wife. Stacy Peterson (left), Drew's fourth wife disappeared in 2007 and was never found. He was convicted in 2012 of the 2004 murder of third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found drowned in her bathtub . But after Savio's body was exhumed and authorities ruled her drowning a homicide, Peterson was interviewed countless times by news crews and, as the investigation continued, he joked about a 'Win a Date with Drew' contest and discussed appearing on a reality TV show about a Nevada brothel. Throughout it all, Peterson maintained his innocence and his attorneys contended Stacy Peterson had run off with another man and was alive. Drew Peterson did not testify at his trial, but addressed the court after he was convicted, blaming prosecutors for 'the largest railroad job ever' and sarcastically telling Glasgow that the prosecutor could celebrate destroying his life. He challenged the prosecutor to look him in the eye, then told him to 'never forget what you've done here.' Glasgow issued a brief statement after the new charges against Peterson were announced, saying that while it was 'unfortunate that prosecutors sometimes must deal with allegations of this nature,' he would not let a threat to his personal safety affect the

Summary: Drew Peterson was convicted in 2012 of the murder of his third wife, Kathleen Savio . He is also suspected in the 2007 disappearance of Stacy Peterson . On February 9, he was charged with trying to have Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow murdered .


The family of a high school honor roll student accused of encouraging her friend to kill himself before raising thousands of dollars for suicide prevention has insisted she is innocent. Michelle Carter, 18, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Conrad Roy III, who died of carbon monoxide poisoning in his idling truck in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, last July. When Roy texted Carter that he wasn't sure he should take his life and had climbed out of the vehicle, she allegedly texted him: 'Get back in.' Her parents have defended their daughter saying she is 'not the villain the media is portraying her to be' and was only trying to help Roy, who had been suffering from depression. But classmates interviewed by police after the tragedy described her as someone who craves attention and is known as the girl who 'cries wolf'. Carter also claimed the pair had been dating 'on and off' for two years, but Roy's best friends claim they had never heard of her. Accused: Michelle Conrad, pictured left, allegedly knew that her friend Conrad Roy III, right, was suicidal but rather than seeking help, she encouraged him to take his life in the minutes before he died last July . In a statement received by The Boston Herald, the family said: 'Our hearts have and remain broken for the Roy family. 'For everyone that does not know our daughter, she is not the villain the media is portraying her to be. She is a quiet, kind, and sympathetic young girl. She tried immensely to help Mr Roy in his battle with depression. We know that once all of the facts are released, our daughter will be found innocent.' After the death, Carter, who attends King Philip Regional High School, started raising money and awareness for suicide prevention and organized a fundraising softball tournament last September. In a description for the event, 'Homers for Conrad', Carter wrote: 'Life can be tough, but helping others makes it easier.' She later wrote on Twitter that the event had raised $2,300. However when Roy's best friend was interviewed by police about the charity event, they said he believed she was 'kind of looking for attention' and feared she was taking credit for his idea, according to court documents. He also felt forced to add her as an organizer of the event because she was annoyed she wasn't listed. Tribute: In the hours after he was found dead, Carter shared this message to her Twitter page . 'Duplicitous': Three days after she allegedly encouraged him to take his life, she questioned why he had died . Cold: She also shared messages calling for suicide prevention, while paying tribute to her friend . Detective Scott R. Gordon wrote in a police report: 'I asked him if he had a lot to do with the fundraiser, and he said not too much but he did try and get her to move it back to Mattapoisett where all of Conrad's family and friends were but Michelle wanted to keep it in Plainville. 'He further

Summary: Michelle Carter allegedly sent Conrad Roy III, 18, a series of texts encouraging to take his life in a parking lot in Massachusetts last July . He was found dead of carbon monoxide poisoning in his idling truck . She raised $2,300 for suicide prevention through a softball event and often shared messages online about how much she missed him . Her parents believe she is not the 'villain the media is portraying her to be' Roy's friends have said she was a girl that 'cries wolf' and craves attention . Carter, who was 17 at the time, is on bail and is due in court in April .


John Carver will use his Holland World Cup stars to inflict yet more St James’ Park misery on Louis van Gaal – and says the Dutchman missed a trick in not taking Daryl Janmaat with him to Old Trafford. The Manchester United boss has already been on the receiving end of two defeats on Tyneside. First, with Barcelona in 1997, he was the victim of Tino Asprilla’s famous hat-trick in a 3-2 loss in the Champions League group stages. Ten years later he was back with AZ Alkmaar as they were beaten 4-2 in the last 16 of the UEFA Cup, turning the tie with a 2-0 victory back in Holland. Van Gaal returns with United on Wednesday where he will come up against Janmaat and Tim Krul, two of the players who helped Holland to the semi-finals of the World Cup last summer. John Carver described Daryl Janmaat (left) as an 'exceptional player' ahead of Newcastle United's match . The Newcastle United boss (right) was surprised United didn't make a move for the impressive full back . And Carver said: ‘Daryl and Tim have been very helpful in terms of how Van Gaal organises his teams. ‘They actually came to me with the advice, which was nice, and it was a helpful insight.’ He added: ‘I’ve heard his record here isn’t very good and he’s lost twice, hopefully it will be third time unlucky. ‘I was there for that Barcelona game and I wouldn’t mind another night like that.’ Meanwhile, Carver admits that Newcastle’s £5million capture of Janmaat has proved one of the best pieces of business from last summer. Tim Krul (left) and Janmaat have been giving Carver insight into how Van Gaal sets his sides up . The 25-year-old was an ever-present in Brazil and, with United short of options on the right side of defence, Carver is surprised Van Gaal did not rival them for his signature. ‘I think Van Gaal perhaps had more pressing issues to sort out because let's not forget, when he came in he was talking about playing with three centre-backs,’ said Carver. ‘But even as a wing-back Daryl would have fitted into the system nicely. ‘He's a top, top player. We lost a top player in Mathieu Debuchy but replaced him with an exceptional player. That's good news. ‘He's been the most consistent player for us this season and is a great character. ‘He is a good defender and likes playing on the front foot and he gives you real quality going forward. The Dutch goalkeeper played under Van Gaal at the World Cup including his heroics in a penalty shoot out . ‘That's what we saw when we signed him. He's second on the list of assists in the Premier League for defenders and he’s been excellent for us.’ There has been talk of Van Gaal making a move for Janmaat at the end of the season. And the former Feyenoord star certainly talks highly of his former international boss. ‘He is a fantastic trainer and he has had a magnificent career,’

Summary: Newcastle United boss John Carver says his Dutch players have been helping him in his preparation for the game against Louis van Gaal . Carver also thinks Manchester United missed out on not signing Daryl Janmaat, who he describes as an 'exceptional player' The 50-year-old was at St James' Park when Van Gaal was Barcelona boss and they were beaten 3-2 by Newcastle in the Champions League . Janmaat also spoke highly of his former international boss . Click here for all the latest Newcastle news .

The Union Flag is to be plastered across big money projects paid for by the UK taxpayer to show the public where their taxes are spent. Ministers will announce tomorrow the plan to brand roads, flood defences and broadband hubs with the message 'Funded by the UK Government. It will be used on projects across the UK, but will prove provocative in Scotland where the move to highlight UK spending will be seen as a challenge to supporters of independence. The new logo will be unveiled by ministers tomorrow, and will be used on any project funded by the UK taxpayer . Treasury minister Danny Alexander, who is a Scottish MP, will unveil the logo which will spring up in every area 'from Cornwall to Caithness' Treasury minister Danny Alexander, who is a Scottish MP, will unveil the logo which will spring up in every area 'from Cornwall to Caithness'. Under the plan, any firm who wins a UK government contract will have to agree to display the logo on the finished work. Treasury insiders insist that the logo is not designed to challenge Scottish nationalists, but promote the need for investment across the UK. 'It is just a reminder to people that this is where their money is going.' a source said. The use of the logo will seek to emphasise that major investment in big money projects is only possible thanks to the strong economic growth, and Scotland as a result of remaining in the UK. However, some areas of infrastructure are devolved, so will not apply in Scotland. The logo will also draw comparisons with a similar image used on foreign aid sent around the world funded by Britain. It copies a long-standing Brussels agreement which sees the EU flag displayed on infrastructure which it has funded. The Treasury says that there is £466billion of new projects in the pipeline, which the Government is helping to fund using public money. Mr Alexander said: 'I've prioritised infrastructure in this government because only long-term investments will support UK businesses and get the public finances and economy on a firm footing. 'It's only right that we recognise the contribution of the UK taxpayer in supporting this economic growth, which is why I'm delighted to launch these Union Jack plaques, which will proudly adorn infrastructure investments from roads in Cornwall to broadband in Caithness.' The move will draw comparisons with a similar logo used on foreign aid sent around the world funded by Britain . The plan has been drawn up with Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude, who said: 'As part of our long term economic plan, this government is investing in our nation's physical and digital infrastructure. 'Whether it's High Speed 2 investment in the Northern Powerhouse or superfast broadband connecting Cornwall and Wales, all future infrastructure projects funded for by UK taxpayers will carry this simple UK flag branding.' In 2012 a similar logo was introduced for foreign aid funding, which included the Union Flag and the words: UK aid from the British people'. Under official rules, its use is not

Summary: Provocative Treasury move to put Union Flag on all state-funded projects . Roads, flood defences and broadband hubs will all be branded with logo . Plan drawn up to hammer home the benefits of infrastructure spending . Logo is also similar to one used on foreign aid funded by Britain .


Labour's flagship economic plan to increase taxes on big business to ease the pressure on the high street could cost 100,000 jobs, David Cameron claimed today. The Prime Minister said the proposal to hike corporation tax for the first time in 40 years was 'crazy'. Corporation tax is set to fall from 21p to 20p tomorrow – but Labour have pledged to reverse the cut to help reduce business rates for millions of smaller firms. Corporation tax is set to fall from 21p to 20p tomorrow – but in a speech today in Swindon Labour's shadow chancellor Ed Balls pledged to reverse the cut to help reduce business rates for millions of smaller firms . Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls said he would use the first budget of a Labour government to cut business rates for 1.5 million small companies - worth an average of £400 to each firm – and then freeze them the following year. Speaking in Swindon on the first full day of the election campaign this morning, Mr Balls said 17 small firms would benefit from the cut for every one large business helped by the Coalition's reduction in corporation tax. He said: 'It's not right to go ahead with the further cut for larger companies when we can use the money in a better way to help us create more good jobs by backing small companies.' Mr Balls said he would use the first budget of a Labour government to cut business rates for 1.5 million small companies - worth an average of £400 to each firm – and then freeze them the following year . Mr Balls said the coalition spent £7 billion over the last five years cutting the main rate of corporation tax to the benefit of larger firms while revenues from business rates rose by £3 billion, at an average cost to firms of £1,500-a-year. Will Straw, the son of former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw, was out campaigning in Blackburn today. He is standing for Parliament in the Rossendale and Darwen constituency . Mr Balls added: 'Unleashing the potential of smaller businesses to grow, create more good jobs and raise living standards is a vital part of Labour's better plan. 'This is part of our plan to deliver a simpler and fairer tax system for small businesses. This is the right priority when money is tight. And it will mean that the tax burden on small businesses will be lower with Labour than under the Tories.' However the move risks re-opening the rift with some big business leaders who have strongly criticised Labour's spending plans. It comes after some company bosses complained at the way comments they had made expressing concern about the prospect of Britain leaving the EU were included in a Labour advertisement attacking the Conservatives. Mr Cameron – who this morning set out the Conservative pledge to boost employment by two million over the next five years – told Sky News's Sunrise that Labour's plan to raise corporation tax was 'a crazy thing to do when the economy is growing'. Tory

Wales assistant Rob Howley has defended Warren Gatland against Irish claims he has the ‘intellectual properties of a tub of Flora’. Gatland was subjected to a bitter personal attack by 36-cap lock and outspoken columnist Neil Francis, who accused the Kiwi of ‘shameful nepotism’ by selecting 10 Wales players for the final Test on the 2013 Lions tour. Francis added that Gatland was focused on improving his contract negotiations with the WRU at the time, prompting Howley to label the verbal barbs as ‘disappointing’ and ‘unfair’. Warren Gatland prepares his Wales team for Saturday's Six Nations clash against Ireland . Wales coach Gatland was subjected to a personal attack by former Ireland player Neil Francis . How Wales and Ireland will line up for the Six Nations match on Saturday . ‘You have to experience the Lions to understand the Lions,’ said Howley. ‘I’m not too sure if Neil Francis was a Lion. ‘The wonderful thing about rugby is everyone has their opinion about how the game should be played and there are personalities within the game. ‘When it becomes personal it is disappointing. The game is bigger than that. For someone to have an individual criticism and a personal snipe at someone who has won a Lions series, been involved in Six Nations Grand Slams and championships, is disappointing. We don’t need comments like that. It is a personal attack and totally unfair.’ Francis faced Wales four times for Ireland in the 1990s and was involved in a famous bust-up in 1992 with Tony Copsey, who knocked the forward off his feet with a right hook. ‘Neil was a very capable player and wasn’t someone to wind up the opposition,’ recalled Copsey. ‘We got on very well off the field, but he has always liked a controversial comment as a pundit.’ Since Francis played his final Test in 1996, Wales have managed just two wins over the Irish in Cardiff. Gatland was accused of having the 'intellectual properties of a tub of flora' by Francis . Wales assistant Rob Howley leapt to the defence of Gatland, labelling the barbs 'disappointing' and 'unfair' Gatland has endured a prickly relationship with the Irish media — being compared to a ‘menopausal warthog’ in 2010 — and is hoping to silence his critics in Saturday’s Test at the Millennium Stadium. The 51-year-old, who coached Ireland between 1998 and 2001, has refused to engage in a war of words this week and has instead praised Joe Schmidt’s team, laying the pressure on their doorstep. He has bypassed the ‘challenge’ of playing under a closed roof, with Howley confirming on Thursday that Wales will break with tradition and keep it open. The decision has avoided the sideshow that preceded Wales’s opening fixture against England, whose defeat in Dublin last week has been studied by the Welsh coaches. Gatland was also accused of ‘shameful nepotism’ by selecting 10 Wales players for the final Lions Test, 2013 . Howley sais Wales will be looking to dominate possession and territory against Ireland . ‘Watching Ireland against England was similar to

In an northeastern Indian town, residents are dying of breathing disorders and skin diseases at alarming rates as underground fires that have raged for nearly a century continue to blanket the city in toxic smoke. The town of Jharia, in India's northeastern Jharkhand province, plays host to more than 70 fires which have burned continuously beneath the earth's surface since 1916. Here the infernos have been left to burn unhindered following a coal mine collapse in the resource-rich region - which produced a blaze so intense authorities have balked for decades at the effort required to extinguish it. Villagers in Jharia, Jharkhand, warm themselves beside a fire made of coal scavenged from the vast mine . Miners work to repair a digger at the bottom of the open-cast mine, where fires have raged since 1916 .

Toxic fumes - which include poisons such as sulfur, sulfur, carbon and nitrogen oxides - are a part of everyday life where coal emissions are causing devastatingly high rates of breathing disorders and skin diseases among locals. Residents and children spend their days clamoring over the hot ground to eke out a living by chiseling out pieces of coal to sell at local markets. The first coal mine fire was detected in the area in 1916 and is believed to be due to a open cast mine not being correctly decommissioned. In the decades since, it has spread to become truly unmanageable. And despite repeated warnings that the town and surrounding area is on the brink of an ecological and humanitarian disaster, little has been done to help residents despite promises to move the entirety of the town.
