England are the embarrassment of the World Cup after a third humiliating defeat in three matches against Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. Sportsmail's panel of experts — Nasser Hussain, David Lloyd, cricket correspondent Paul Newman and cricket writer and Wisden editor Lawrence Booth — discuss the big questions arising from another World Cup failure. England captain Eoin Morgan plays a shot during the World Cup match against Sri Lanka in Wellington . England Gary Ballance (front) loses his wicket to Sri Lanka's Tillakaratne Dilshan during the World Cup match . Is there any hope left for England at this World Cup? Nasser Hussain: If there is, it's because of the ridiculous format of this tournament. They should beat Bangladesh and Afghanistan, but the best we can hope for is some one-off brilliance in the quarter-final. Paul Newman: You would think not and yet the flawed format still gives them every chance of facing India, a team they have beaten in their past two meetings, in a quarter-final in Melbourne. That should not be possible after the way England have stunk the tournament out. Lawrence Booth: The bare minimum for them was a quarter-final. Now, if either Bangladesh or Afghanistan have a good day, they may not even make that. They've had four years to prepare, yet look further off the pace than ever. David Lloyd: Realistically, no. It's sad to see so much effort going into plans and strategy that just do not fit in modern international cricket. I've never seen a team leave the ball so much in the one-day game. If there's any width other teams just whack it. Joe Root bats for England during their match against Sri Lanka at Wellington Regional Stadium . England have slumped to three straight World Cup defeats against Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka . Can anything be done in the short-term? Hussain: They need variety in their bowling, and a more attacking No 3. If they get through to a quarter-final on a drop-in wicket against India or South Africa, four 85mph right-arm seamers aren't going to surprise anyone. Ravi Bopara offers something different, and Tredwell is England's best off-spinner. And I'd get Hales in for Ballance. Newman: They must play Alex Hales. Why not? Gary Ballance should not be learning the ropes in the biggest limited-overs tournament of all. England just do not seem to rate Hales and if that is the case what is he doing here? If he does not play in Adelaide on Monday they might as well send him home. And get Jos Buttler in earlier. Leaving him just 19 balls against Sri Lanka was criminal. Booth: They've got to stop going on about stats, which mean little in the new era of fielding restrictions, and go for broke with players who scare the opposition. Hales springs to mind. They should also pick their best spinner, James Tredwell, because four right-arm seamers aren't doing the job. Lloyd: Hales can be brought in but don't expect him to start blasting it. If he was a success from

Summary: Sportsmail cricket experts give their views on England's World Cup woes . England have lost three games and won one at the World Cup . Captain Eoin Morgan has come under particular scrutiny . Kevin Pietersen's potential England return remains a heated debate .


Dame Jane Goodall has condemned politicians for pushing 'Frankenstein Food' Dame Jane Goodall, the renowned primate expert, has condemned ‘deluded’ politicians for pushing ‘Frankenstein Food’. The highly respected academic has endorsed a new book, which argues the companies responsible for developing genetically modified farming and food have twisted the evidence to minimise the dangers. Historically, critics of GM food have been lambasted by the GM companies, scientists who rely on their funding, and politicians, including the UK Government, as being ‘anti-science’. However, Dame Jane argues that the advocates of GM food have ignored evidence of harm with the result it is they who are guilty of being ‘anti-science’. The intervention is a powerful condemnation of the way biotech companies like Monsanto, Syngenta and Bayer, have forced GM crops and food on to dinner plates in the US without proper safety tests. And she is joining a growing campaign warning that Britain and Europe must not drop safeguards that have kept GM crops out. Dame Jane’s concerns have been raised in the foreword to a new book, ‘Altered Genes, Twisted Truth’, which is written by the American public interest lawyer, Steve Druker. Its publication comes as the US is seeing a growing backlash against GM. Just last week it emerged that the country’s favourite chocolate manufacturer, Hershey, is to drop GM from its products. Dame Jane said she has become appalled as what she calls a ‘shocking corruption of the life forms of the planet’. She said the GM process, which involves adding foreign genes to plants to create toxins to fend off insects or give them immunity to being sprayed with chemical pesticides has fundamentally changed them. However, she complains that supporters of the technology have committed a ‘fraud’ by trying to give the false impression that these new plants are essentially the same as those created by conventional plant breeding. She said: ‘This very real difference between GM plants and their conventional counterparts is one of the basic truths that biotech proponents have endeavoured to obscure. As part of the process, they portrayed the various concerns as merely the ignorant opinions of misinformed individuals – and derided them as not only unscientific, but anti-science. ‘They then set to work to convince the public and government officials, through the dissemination of false information, that there was an overwhelming expert consensus, based on solid evidence, that the new foods were safe. Yet this, as Druker points out, was clearly not true.’ Importantly, she claims, the companies have spread disinformation to try and win public support. ‘Druker describes how amazingly successful the biotech lobby has been – and the extent to which the general public and government decision makers have been hoodwinked by the clever and methodical twisting of the facts and the propagation of many myths. Moreover, it appears that a number of respected scientific institutions, as well as many eminent scientists, were complicit in this relentless spreading of disinformation.’ Dame Jane is considered to be the world’s foremost expert on chimpanzees. She is best known for her 55-year study of social and

Summary: Dr Jane Goodall argues supporters of GM food ignored evidence of harm . Endorsed US book which says GM producers have twisted evidence . Publication comes as backlash against GM food is growing in US . Primate expert warns Britain and Europe not to drop GM safeguards . Accuses supporters of 'fraud' and says they are 'anti science'


Rory McIlroy posing topless as Michelangelo’s statue of David. It’s not an image you’d naturally conjure of the world No 1, but it is a remarkably striking one. And thank goodness for the kilt...

The prestigious magazine describes McIlroy as ‘the new model for greatness’. The Northern Irishman is gearing up for his latest crack at winning the Masters, which tees off in on April 9.

I have family and friends, but they're always going to be there. What else?” That's when I decided “You know what, I'm just going to immerse myself in golf for a while.” I spent more time at it, thought about it more, spent more time at the range and at the gym. Because that's all I had, and that's all I wanted to do," he told Golf Digest. The Ulsterman believes his brilliant form last year was due in part to his new fitness regime . McIlroy also reveals how he changed his mindset after breaking up with Caroline Wozniacki . 'I've come across enough successful people now to know that the best in whatever walk of life, they're the ones who just work the hardest. I realised that if I want to be the best and fulfill my potential, I'm going to have to do the same thing.' McIlroy talks about how his swing has improved thanks to his new fitness regime strengthening the “big muscles” in his core. His gruelling 90-minute gym sessions are taken 10 times a week under the gaze of fitness instructor Steve McGregor.

The man police suspect of stabbing a 17-year-old schoolgirl to death in a suburban park was caught on camera calmly boarding a bus less than 20 minutes after the cold-blooded attack. Police have released two CCTV images of the man getting on a bus shortly after Masa Vukotic was murdered just five minutes from her Doncaster home in Melbourne's east on Tuesday. Masa, known affectionately by her friends as 'Marci', was stabbed in daylight while walking along a path at Koonung Creek Linear Reserve just before 7pm in what police believe was a 'random attack'. Detectives say the man they are looking for boarded a bus on Doncaster Road near the park at about 7.09pm, before getting off near the intersection of Hoddle Street and Johnston Street at Abbotsford. He was captured carrying what looked to be a white plastic bag, which may have carried the murder weapon. It comes as friends of the murdered Canterbury Girls Secondary College student paid tribute to their 'beautiful Princess Marci'. Police have released two CCTV images of the man getting on a bus shortly after Masa Vukotic was murdered just five minutes from her Doncaster home in Melbourne's east on Tuesday . Masa, known affectionately by her friends as 'Marci', was stabbed in daylight while walking along a path at Koonung Creek Linear Reserve just before 7pm . 'The world has certainly become a darker place without her,' a friend told Daily Mail Australia. On Wednesday night more than 100 mourners visited the crime scene, with her friends dressing in pink to lay flowers where her body was found. 'Marci was without a doubt one of the most wonderful people I've ever met,' a friend said. 'She was so full of personality and passion and her sense of humour was incredible.' 'She inspired myself and so many others to love ourselves and be confident in who we are. She never missed a moment to remind her friends that she thought they were wonderful.' Friends spoke fondly of her love of the colour pink, her pet rabbit Roger, dressing up and Japanese fashion. Detectives say the man they are looking for boarded a bus on Doncaster Road near the park at about 7.09pm, before getting off near the intersection of Hoddle Street and Johnston Street at Abbotsford . The man was spotted on CCTV cameras running from a suburban park in Melbourne where Masa was stabbed to death as she walked just five minutes from her home . Masa, who only just turned 17 in December, was one of three children from a Serbian family who had moved to Melbourne from Montenegro. Her distressed relatives were pictured arriving at the park following news of her death. Her body was found by police along a walking track when a neighbour called triple zero after hearing screams and saw a man fleeing the scene. She was in cardiac arrest when she was found, but paramedics were unable to save her and she died at the scene. Police say she was wearing headphones at the time and may not

A drug addict who mugged frail pensioner Alan Barnes wept today as he heard lawyers will argue his attack was a 'hate crime'. Prosecutors say Richard Gatiss deliberately targeted his 4ft 6in, visually-impaired 67-year-old victim out of hostility towards the disabled. The cowardly attack on Mr Barnes, from Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, shocked Britain in January and a fundraising campaign to buy him a new home made £330,000 in just a few days. Alan Barnes - who suffers growth problems and is partially sighted - was attacked by drug addict Richard Gatiss (right) in January. Prosecutors today called for the offence to be categorised as a disability hate crime . Gatiss, 25, also of Gateshead, appeared briefly at Newcastle Crown Court via a videolink from Durham Prison today, where he is being kept in segregation for his own safety. He will be sentenced on April 2. The mugger sat hunched in his chair today as he followed proceedings and broke down in tears at one point. Nick Dry, prosecuting, said Gatiss struck in an area of sheltered accommodation for disabled and elderly people. He also made a partial admission to police that he knew of Mr Barnes prior to the attack. The court heard that, in Mr Barnes's opinion, he was attacked due to his disability. Mr Dry said if it was agreed that Gatiss specifically targeted Mr Barnes 'it can be inferred there is a general hostility towards people of disability'. That could mean Gatiss was guilty of a disability hate crime, which would aggravate the assault with intent to rob charge that he admitted last month. Mr Dry added: 'It is pure inference that is sought by the crown.' The attack on Mr Barnes sparked outrage around Britain and led to his neighbour, beautician Katie Cutler, organising a fund to help the 67-year-old . Donations flooded in from around the world and saw Mr Barnes given £330,000 to buy him a new home . But Judge Paul Sloan QC suggested the claim of a general hostility towards disabled people was 'hollow' and told the court the aggravating circumstances would be factored into the sentencing anyway. He said the prosecution must serve evidence to back up their claims within a week. Judge Sloan told Gatiss at the end of the 10-minute hearing he would continue to be remanded in custody and 'an immediate sentence of imprisonment is pretty well inevitable'. It has previously been said in court that Gatiss was trying to get money to buy legal highs when he mugged Mr Barnes. His victim was shoved over and broke his collar bone but Gatiss fled empty-handed when Mr Barnes called for help.

Summary: Disabled pensioner's mugging shocked Britain when it emerged in January . Partially-sighted 67-year-old knocked to the ground, breaking collar bone . Drug addict arrested for attack and admitted assault with intent to rob . Prosecutors now call for offence to classified as 'disability hate crime' Appeal to help victim raised more than £330,000 earlier this year .

New surveillance footage of a Boston bomber laying an explosive then fleeing the scene has been shown in court. Footage shows Dzhokhar Tsarnaev walking through the city before pausing near the finish line, where he dropped an explosive charge that killed an eight-year-old boy. He is seen standing in the crowd for several minutes, before calling his brother, Tamerlan. Shortly after the call, the first bomb explodes - at which point he pushes his way through the stunned crowd. Tsarnaev managed to clear the blast zone in the 12 seconds between the first bomb exploding and his going off - but is still in the shot from a surveillance camera at the scene. Shock: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, cirlced top left, is pictured above in FBI surveillance video standing in a crowd the moment the first bomb goes off at the Boston marathon. While most of the crowd looks towards the blast, he heads off in the other direction . Explosion: Pictured above is the moment Tsarnaev's pressure cooker bomb exploded. It killed two people and wounded dozens more . Killer: The blast ended the life of 8-year-old Martin Richard, and also robbed his sister of one of her legs . Some 12 seconds later, a second explosion takes place precisely where he was standing. He is later shown running from the scene without the backpack he was carrying earlier. It is unclear exactly how the bomb was detonated - though early claims that it primitive kitchen-timer device seem to be endorsed by the fact that Tsarnaev was still fleeing when the bomb went off. The blast killed eight-year-old Martin Richard, as well as Lingzi Lu, a 23-year-old student. Martin's younger sister, Jane, lost a leg in the blast and hundreds were injured. The footage was shown to jurors weighing up whether to sentence Tsarnaev to death for the bombing - which his lawyers do not deny he did. The video - nine and a half minutes in total - was compiled by FBI investigators from surveillance footage around the city. Plotting: Dzhokhar, circled in white, is pictured here before the blasts. His brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed in a gun battle days later, is circled in black . It shows both brothers walking the streets before splitting up to set down the pressure cooker bombs near the finish line on April 15, 2013. He is the only surviving bomber, as Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in a gun battle days after the attacks. Defense attorneys have argued that Tamerlan persuaded his brother to carry out the attacks, and as such he is not as culpable. Seconds later, the second bomb explodes, and Tsarnaev, who prosecutors say detonated the second bomb, is seen running with a crowd of people who also are running, pushing some out of his way to flee the scene. People are also shown jumping over metal barriers as smoke wafts over the scene. In wait: Tsarnaev is pictured above just down the street from the site of the bomb blast . Approaching: Tsarnaev, circled in white, is seen here walking

A promising young boxer who wanted to change the sport's blood image has died in hospital - less than two days after losing a 10-round featherweight bout. Braydon Smith, 23, collapsed 90 minutes after his WBC Asian Boxing Council continental title bout with Filipino John Moralde on Saturday night. The Toowoomba boxer had been placed in an induced coma at Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital before he died on Monday afternoon surrounded by family. Scroll down for video . Braydon Smith (pictured with girlfriend Kirstie Nicholls) died in Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital on Monday afternoon following a 10-round featherweight bout at the weekend . Smith appeared to be fine after leaving the ring on Saturday and had given an upbeat interview following his loss before returning to his dressing room. His girlfriend, Kirstie Nicholls, held an icepack against Smith's swollen face as he joked about the tough fight, the Courier Mail reports. Soon after, he started complaining of a headache and 90 minutes later he collapsed. He was rushed to hospital with suspected minor bleeding and swelling on the brain. Smith was placed in an induced coma, but never regained conciousness after surgery, the Toowoomba Chronicle reports. 'I was a massive fan of Braydon, his No.1 fan,' Ms Nicholls said on Monday night. 'I love him ... we were soulmates.' The Toowoomba boxer had been placed in an induced coma at Brisbane's Princess Alexandra Hospital before he died on Monday afternoon surrounded by family .

'He really wanted to change the image of boxing,' family spokesman James O'Shea said. 'A lot of times in this country the sport gets a bad rap.

John Hogg, the Australian National Boxing Federation's Queensland medical registrar, said he was baffled as Smith had been checked before and after the bout by two different doctors. Smith only had two stitches inserted following the fight. 'The doctor obviously had no cause for concern so it's a mystery as to what's happened,' he said.

Gareth Bale insists the intense criticism of his Real Madrid form will fall on deaf ears and he is firmly confident of his elite abilities. Having weathered a storm of whistles from the stands to spearhead Wales to victory in Israel, Bale spoke in assured tones about doing likewise in Spain. Exactly a week ago Bale found his white Bentley under attack from irate Real fans after the Clasico defeat to Barcelona in which influential newspaper Marca scored him zero mark. He has been subjected to boos from the stands and had his £86million pricetag mocked and questioned. Gareth Bale celebrates scoring his first goal of the game during Wales' 3-0 victory against Israel on Saturday . Bale scored a brilliant free-kick as Wales won 3-0 in Israel in the Euro 2016 Group B qualifier . Bale (centre) leads the celebrations after his second-half free kick put Wales 2-0 up against rivals Israel . But in Wales' hugely important Euro 2016 qualifier in Israel Bale was magnificent, scoring twice to move onto 16 in total for his country, level with Cliff Jones, Mark Hughes and Robert Earnshaw, and beyond the great John Charles in the all-time list. And Bale said: 'I don't need to answer the critics. I know, and everyone around me knows, what I can do. 'There are ups and downs in football, you have to take it with a pinch of salt and all you can do is respond with your performances on the pitch, like that. 'I don't feel I need to prove anyone wrong or right, I just need to play my football. 'I love playing for Wales, it's a big honour and the most important thing is I focus on my football. I don't listen to anyone else, what they're saying, just enjoying my football with the boys.' Bale was an image of relaxation as he flew back to Cardiff with his Wales teammates yesterday, smiling, chatting and sharing sweets. He will enjoy some home time before travelling to Madrid. Wales boss Chris Coleman was at the head of the plane perusing tactical notes. Job done in Israel, the manager is already looking forward to the visit of Belgium on June 12. Emerge from that game unscathed and Wales will begin to smell the croissants. A point or more would bring to life the vision of qualifying for France 2016, a first major tournament in more than half a century. That is thanks to a substantial victory in Haifa that removed any lingering doubt this gilded crop possess the ability, application and mental strength to succeed. The performance in winning 3-0 could in future be seen as era-defining. Bale (second left) has struggled to hit the form Madrid supporters want to see from him .

Barcelona's 2-1 win over Real Madrid in Sunday's 'El Clasico' may have put them four points clear at the top of La Liga but they will be kicking themselves for not taking a host of second-half chances and grabbing the head-to-head advantage. If Real manage to draw level on points with their great rivals over the remaining 10 games - and they have what looks on paper like a slightly easier run-in - they will snatch the title because they beat Barca 3-1 in Madrid in October. Head-to-head record is used before goal difference to separate teams with equal points and Real famously pipped Barca to the title in 2006-07 despite having scored 12 fewer goals and conceded seven more. Barcelona and Luis Suarez could miss out on the La Liga title to Real Madrid with their head-to-head record . 1) Head to head points . 2) Head to head goal difference . 3) Head to head goals scored . 4) Goal difference . 5) Goals scored . Any disappointment Barca coach Luis Enrique and the players may be feeling on Monday morning will be outweighed by their joy at seeing off Real at the Nou Camp, thanks to a superb Luis Suarez goal 11 minutes after half time. Watched by almost 100,000 fans packed into the giant stadium and millions more around the world, Jeremy Mathieu had put Barca ahead in the 19 minute before Cristiano Ronaldo levelled for Real in minute 31. 'For the moment it is the most important goal I have scored for Barca and it has an extra significance considering who we were playing,' a jubilant Suarez, who debuted for the club in October's 'Clasico' after a four-month ban for biting, told reporters. Suarez (9) slots home his spectacular winner to put Barcelona four points clear at the top of La Liga . Cristiano Ronaldo (right) silenced the Barcelona crowd after equalising for Real Madrid in the first half . 'There is a long way to go and we know that winning the league is going to be very tough,' added the Uruguay striker. 'Just like in all the leagues, you never know what can happen if you relax just a little.' Real coach Carlo Ancelotti and his players, meanwhile, will be wondering how they let slip a match they seemed to be well in control of after Ronaldo's leveller. The Portugal captain was almost completely anonymous in the second half and Real's Wales winger Gareth Bale also made little impact. 'In the end we suffered because of a slight lack of cool heads in our efforts to equalise,' Ancelotti told a news conference. 'We played too many long balls without a clear idea,' added the Italian. 'It was a good hour, and 30 minutes that weren't so good.' The Uruguayan is mobbed by his team-mates following his goal but they could still miss out on the title . Gareth Bale (centre) struggled during the game and has come under a lot of criticism in recent months .

Summary: If both sides are level on points at the end of the season, Real Madrid would win the title due to their head-to-head record this campaign .

A mother accused of decapitating her three-month-old daughter had been ordered by a court to stay away from her - but an aunt who had custody of the child had allowed her to move in with them. Deasia Watkins, 20, was charged with aggravated murder on Monday after her baby daughter, Janiyah, was found beheaded on a kitchen counter at the aunt's house in Hamilton County, Ohio. The mother, who was diagnosed with post-partum depression earlier this year, had allegedly placed the kitchen knife in the baby's hand after murdering her, authorities said. Her aunt was asleep at the time but a child at the home found the baby's body and raised the alarm. Arrested: Deasia Watkins, 20, allegedly beheaded her three-month-old daughter, Janiyah, on Monday. She had been ordered to keep away from the child after she was hospitalized for psychiatric problems . The horrific killing came after Watkins had been forbidden to have contact with the child after she was hospitalized for psychiatric problems, authorities said at a Tuesday press conference. But the aunt had apparently let Watkins move in with her and the baby about a week earlier, Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters said. Then on Monday, a five-year-old child who was at the house to catch a school bus found the baby's body and ran outside to tell a male relative. The man woke up the aunt and she called police. In the 911 call, the aunt can be heard crying hysterically and asking for help while repeating, 'Oh, my God!' 'My niece killed her baby,' she said. She told the dispatcher that she was asleep when her son, who had come to drop off the children, came in and woke her up, saying the baby was dead. The son then told the dispatcher that he had seen the baby's body on the kitchen counter but did not know what happened. Victim: Authorities found the mother had placed the knife in baby Janiyah's hand after killing her on Monday . Tragic: Janiyah also had multiple stab wound to her face and a broken arm, authorities have said . 'It's a very violent scene,' he said. Police arrived to find the baby had been decapitated and stabbed multiple times. She had also suffered a fractured arm. Authorities also found the 20-year-old mother in bed covered with blood and took her into custody. 'This is one of the most disturbing cases I have ever seen in my life,' Deters said. Officers allegedly that Watkins smelled of marijuana and refused to hand over the baby. When they took her daughter she 'passed out with her eyes open', according to Cincinnati.com. She was taken to hospital for evaluation. She has been charged with aggravated murder but Deters said it was unlikely prosecutors would seek the death penalty. 'It was pretty clear to the officers involved that she is suffering from some serious mental issues,' Deters said. Watkins gave birth to her daughter in December and suffered post-partum depression. A cousin told Cincinnati.com that he had spoken to the child's father, who claimed

Summary: Deasia Watkins was found covered in blood 'after stabbing and beheading her baby daughter Janiyah at her aunt's Ohio home on Monday' Janiyah was placed in the aunt's custody after Watkins was hospitalized for psychiatric problems and forbidden to have contact with her . But the aunt allowed Watkins to move in with her and the baby last week . Family members said that the 20-year-old had been suffering from post-partum depression while a cousin said she was 'speaking of demons'


George Osborne today handed a £3,000 boost to first time buyers to make it easier to get on the housing ladder. In his final Budget before the general election, the Chancellor announced a new 'help-to-buy ISA' only available to those yet to buy their first home. The new savings account will see the Government add £50 to every £200 which savers manage to put away towards a deposit. It will mean that anyone who saves £12,000 towards a deposit will have it topped up by £3,000. But critics said it will still take first-time buyers five years to save the cash by which time house prices will have soared by another £15,000. Scroll down for video . The new savings account will see the Government add £50 to every £200 savers manage to put away towards a deposit . Matt Hutchinson, director of the house share website SpareRoom, welcomed Mr Osborne's announcement - but said it might still not be enough. He said: 'At first glance, a handout of up to £3,000 from the Government for hopeful first time buyers looks too good to be true. 'But to get your maximum £3,000 bonus, with maximum monthly payments of just £200, you'll be saving for four and a half long years. By which time, prices will likely have risen again and a £15,000 deposit won't be enough.' The accounts will only be available for the next four years, but once they have been opened there will be no limit on how long people can save for. They will be available through banks and building societies this Autumn, with first time buyers able to make an initial deposit of £1,000 when they open the account. There will be no minimum monthly deposit – but people will only be able to save up to £200 a month. The government has also capped the total bonus they will pay at £3,000. The Chancellor said the soaring size of deposits was making it harder for first-time buyers to get on the housing ladder . According to Treasury documents released today, people outside London now need almost £30,000 for a deposit on their first home, while in London they need almost £70,000 . First-time buyers in London will be allowed to use the bonus to buy homes worth up to £450,000 - but for everyone else the ceiling will be £250,000. Unveiling the new savings accounts in the House of Commons this afternoon, Mr Osborne said they were needed because of the growing size of deposits. According to Treasury documents released today, first-time buyers in London now need almost £70,000 to get their first home. Outside London people need almost £30,000. Soaring house prices and tighter mortgage rules have made it harder for first time buyers to get on the housing ladder . Mr Osborne told MPs: 'The Help to Buy ISA for first time buyers works like this. For every £200 you save for your deposit, the Government will top it up with £50 more. It's as simple as this – we'll work hand in hand to

Summary: George Osborne's move puts £3,000 in the pockets of first time buyers . The ISA will only be available to people saving for their first home . For every £200 people save the Government will top it up by £50 . The accounts will only be available for the next four years, Mr Osborne said . First time buyers can make initial deposit of £1,000 when opening account . The government has also capped the total bonus they will pay at £3,000 . Bonus available on homes up to £450,000 in London and £250,00 elsewhere .


Motorsport fans watched in horror on Saturday as two classic racing cars which have been lovingly maintained for decades crashed into each other while driving around Goodwood circuit. The unique Mercedes SLS 300 'Porter Special', worth an estimated £4million, which was being driven by F1 and Le Mans legend Jochen Mass crashed into the back of a Lister-Jaguar Knobbly - thought to be worth around £1million. The one-of-a-kind 1955 Mercedes - originally made out of aluminium - had been transported to the Sussex racetrack from German collector Dr Klaus Lahr especially for the Salvadori Cup race. Scroll down for video . This is the moment a £4million Mercedes from the 1950s crashed into the back of a £1million Lister-Jaguar at Goodwood racetrack on Saturday . Spectators watched in shock as the Mercedes - driven by racing legend Jochen Mass - ploughed into the Jaguar as it exited a chicane . The rear of the Jaguar - which was slowing to enter the pit lane - was wrenched upwards, while the front of the classic Mercedes disintergrated . Driver Mass crashed into the back of the 1959 Jaguar driven by Tony Wood during the qualifying round for the race and the famous racing car had to be winched onto a tow-truck. The Lister, owned by Barry Wood, was entering the pits when Mass powered out of a chicane to find the slowing Lister in front of him. He slammed on the brakes but his wheels locked up, causing the Mercedes to smash into the rear of the Lister. It brought the qualifying period to an abrupt halt with stewards running onto the track to help both drivers and deal with fuel which had leaked onto the Tarmac. Both drivers emerged from their cars unscathed but were taken to the medical room as a precaution. The cars did not fare so well however, with both suffering serious damage. The Mercedes came off the worst, with the front-end badly dented, meaning it could not be moved on its own. The back of the Jaguar was bent out of shape by the force of the impact. It is now known whether the vehicles were insured, but it is feared repairs could cost more than £100,000. At the time, Wood was the second fastest in the Lister while Mass was 22nd. The Mercedes is unique, having been created by a US mechanic in the 1950s, and it is feared it will be difficult to restore to its former glory . The Jaguar fared equally badly in the accident and was left with the rear badly twisted into the air and damage to both sets of wheels . Stewards rushed to deal with fuel which spilled onto the track and the race was stopped. Luckily, the drivers of both cars were unharmed . A statement from Goodwood Motorsport said: 'There was a collision during qualifying for the Salvadori Cup on the afternoon of Saturday, March 21, 2015, involving car 23, a Lister-Jaguar 'Knobbly' driven by Tony Wood and car 8, a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLS "Porter Special" driven by

Summary: A unique Mercedes SLS 300 had been transported from Germany to be shown off at the Sussex track on Saturday . But disaster struck as it ploughed into the back of a 1959 Lister-Jaguar as it slowed to enter the circuit's pit lane . Fans were left stunned as the cars smashed into each other before coming to a halt, badly damaged, on the track . Neither driver was badly injured, although it is feared the repair bill for the two cars will be well in excess of £100,000 .


Weeping and wailing Nick Gordon, the troubled fiancé of Bobbi Kristina Brown, has admitted that he has twice tried to kill himself and confessed: 'I'm so sorry for everything.' Gordon, 25, was speaking to Dr Phil McGraw in a dramatic intervention due to air on Wednesday, Daily Mail Online can reveal. Asked if he still intended to kill himself he said: 'If anything happens to Krissi I will.' Amid scenes of high emotion, an often incoherent Gordon admitted drinking heavily and taking Xanax, for which he has a prescription, in an attempt to deal with life since Bobbi Kristina was found, face down and unresponsive in her bathtub on January 31.

He blames himself. He's torn up and carrying guilt. He's dealing with it by drinking. I've begged him to stop. I've tried to help him but he can't let go of the guilt.' Hugs: Before he left for rehab, Nick and his mother embraced. She said her son was at 'the breaking point'. He said: 'My pain is horrible. My heart hurts. I have panic attacks.' In recent weeks Gordon has twice overdosed on a mixture of Xanax, alcohol and prescription sleeping pills. Gordon had agreed to meet with Dr Phil believing that he was there to be interviewed. According to Dr Phil: 'He felt like he was being vilified and presented as some sort of monster.' Instead, on learning of Gordon's rapidly deteriorating mental, emotional and physical state, the eminent psychologist staged an intervention and he is now in rehab. Dr Phil stated: 'I don't think he has any chance of turning this round. Left to his own devices he will be dead within the week.' Gordon's mother, Michelle, was by her son's side as he alternated between compliant and aggressive – at one point threatening to attack camera men as they filmed. She described her son as 'at breaking point.' She said: 'He cannot take too much more of not being able to see Kriss. He blames himself. He's torn up and carrying guilt. 'He's dealing with it by drinking. I've begged him to stop. I've tried to help him but he can't let go of the guilt.'

Scared for her life: Model Anna Duritskaya, 23, is under police protection in Ukraine after reporting a 'threat to her life from unidentified individuals' Ukraine has put the girlfriend of slain Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov under state protection after she received death threats. Model Anna Duritskaya, 23, is now under the guard of SBU secret services and the police. Kiev also said today that she would not return to Moscow over the probe into the death of the Vladimir Putin foe. 'We will not let her go back to Russia,' said Anton Geraschenko, an aide to the Interior Minister. 'If Russian investigators need to talk to her, they will have to come to Ukraine.' The announcement came as another of Russia's leading opposition figures vowed that he and his supporters will not be intimidated by as he walked free from a 15-day spell in jail. Alexei Navalny, who had been convicted of handing out leaflets calling for an opposition rally, said he would continue his staunch criticism of Vladimir Putin's government despite the Mr Nemtsov's murder seven days ago. Emerging unshaven from a Moscow detention centre this morning, Mr Navalny said: 'This act of terror hasn't achieved its goal, it will not frighten me or my comrades. We will not reduce our efforts, we will not step back.' A key figure in Boris Yeltsin's 1990s government, Mr Nemtsov was the most prominent figure in Russia's liberal opposition to be killed during President Vladimir Putin's 15-year rule. The 55-year-old was shot four times in the back by a gunman in a passing car as he walked hand-in-hand with Miss Duritskaya on a bridge across the Moskva River on Friday night, in the shadow of central Moscow's St Basil Cathedral. The Ukrainian woman - physically unhurt in the attack - revealed the death threats to police in Kiev, who said today they were providing her with protection. 'On March 5, Anna Duritskaya, who is a witness in the case in the murder of Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov, turned to the Ukrainian police in the Kiev Region with a statement on a threat to her life from unidentified individuals,' said the prosecutor-general's office in Ukraine. The statement offered no information on who might have issued the threats, according to the Associated Press. The model was staying with her parents since returning to her home country. A relative in Ukraine said she was 'in a bad mental state'. In the aftermath of Mr Nemtsov's assassination, Miss Duritskaya was repeatedly questioned by Russian investigators, and she complained that she was held under armed guard and unable to leave the country. However, she returned to Ukraine last week.

A divorced Spanish father has been ordered to pay nearly £300 a month to his 31-year-old daughter - because she cannot find a long-term job. Amador López, whose real name has not be released by the court, was estranged from daughter Clara until 2005, when he was told by a judge that he must support her through an undergraduate and postgraduate degree. He initially refused to pay the 500 euros (£360) a month but his bank account was frozen. Mr López, who owns several cars including a BMW, appealed the decision in 2014 but was told by Spain's Supreme Court that he must continue to support his daughter by paying 400 euros (£289) a month. A divorced Spanish father has been ordered to pay nearly £300 a month to his 31-year-old daughter - because she cannot find a long-term job. People queue outside a job centre (above) as Spain suffers from one of the highest youth unemployment rates - up to 53.5 per cent in November 2014 . Although Clara has had several short-term jobs, she has not been able to find anything permanent since graduating. Rosalia Bello, the lawyer who represents Clara, said the case was unique. 'The really unprecedented thing about this case is that the support is open-ended,' The Daily Telegraph reported her saying. The decision comes just months after a father from Cádiz, Spain, was ordered to pay his 29-year-old daughter 500 euros a month while she completed her psychology degree. The percentage of 25 to 34-year-olds living with their parents varies across Europe. In 2014 Denmark had one of the lowest rates with only two per cent of the age group neglecting to fly the nest. Mr López initially refused to pay the money but had his bank account frozen, according to his daughter's lawyer . In the UK 15 per cent of 25 to 34-year-olds still lived with parents - but in southern and eastern European countries like Spain and Italy it was as high as 70 per cent. At the same time Spain suffers from one of the highest youth unemployment rates - up to 53.5 per cent in November 2014. This was in comparison to an EU average of 21.9 per cent and was well above Germany, which had the lowest rate of youth unemployment with 7.4 per cent. Sara Elder, an economist with the International Labour Organisation, said it was a 'very scary' time for young people across Europe. She said: 'These people are delaying their advance into adulthood.'

Summary: Divorced Spanish father must pay nearly £300 a month to daughter, 31 . Lawyer said case is unprecedented due to payments being open-ended . Youth employment in Spain above 50 per cent - one of the highest in EU .


If England's early World Cup exit was not hard enough to stomach then look away now because the Australian media has found rich entertainment in poking fun at Eoin Morgan's beleaguered men. After the calamitous 5-0 Ashes whitewash last winter, Australian scribes could hardly have expected that just 12 months later they would be handed even more ammunition to shoot down the mother country. The 15-run defeat to Bangladesh that sealed England's fate in Adelaide was their fourth defeat in five games at a forgettable World Cup and means they will fly home after their now meaningless final group game against Afghanistan on Friday. The Australian newspapers pulled no punches as they mercilessly mocked England's exit . Peter Moores and his side came in for plenty of stick from the Australian press after defeat to Bangladesh .

Moeen Ali is a doubt for England's final game of the World Cup after picking up a side injury . Joe Root arrives at Sydney airport after England's shocking defeat to Bangladesh on Monday . 'Cheerio chaps: Poms are bangers and mashed' was the back-page headline that greeted the England squad when they landed in Sydney on Tuesday. If coach Peter Moores and his team dared pick up a copy of the Daily Telegraph they were certainly reminded, in no uncertain terms, how well an English failure is regarded in the Antipodes. 'England have been utterly embarrassing,' the story opined before throwing thoughts ahead to this summer's Ashes, adding: 'Australian fans now can't wait to face cricket's minnows - that's England - in the Ashes.' Back at the scene of England's exit the Adelaide Advertiser focused on the prospect of Moores being replaced by Yorkshire coach Jason Gillespie, who grew up in the South Australian capital. 'The look on ashen-faced Moores as cameras panned in encapsulated a dead man sitting,' Richard Earle wrote.

Only one woman in ten now stays at home to raise a family. Official figures show the proportion of women who are stay-at-home mothers has dropped by more than a third in the past two decades to a historic low. But there has been no compensating movement towards staying at home among men. Just over one man in 100 brings up his children full-time. Scroll down for video . Changing times: Official figures show the proportion of women who are stay-at-home mothers has dropped by more than a third in the past two decades to a historic low . The findings, published in an Office for National Statistics report, come at a time of continuing controversy over the pressure on mothers to go out to work and warnings over the welfare of children. Specifically, the figures detail those who give their occupation as ‘looking after family or home’. It does not include unemployed women, who are classed as looking for work. Last year Chancellor George Osborne published plans to encourage up to half a million more women into work by the start of 2016. He said he wanted to ‘support women who want to work’ by increasing access to child care. But at the time critics warned that the Government risked ‘stigmatising’ stay-at-home mothers. A childcare voucher scheme worth up to £1,200 to parents will go into operation next month. The report said the number of adult women who are ‘economically inactive’ – in other words they neither work nor want to work – has dropped fast since 1980. The report said the number of adult women who are ‘economically inactive’ – in other words they neither work nor want to work – has dropped fast since 1980 . It said: ‘There are many reasons for economic inactivity, such as study, looking after the family or home, sickness or disability, or not needing to work. ‘However the main reason for the decline in female inactivity rates over the longer period has been a decline in the share of women staying out of work to look after the family or home.’ The report said the proportion of women aged between 16 and 64 who are economically inactive because they are looking after the family or the home was 15.9 per cent in the spring of 1993, but fell by last autumn to 10.1 per cent. The figures showed the share of adult women who were stay-at-home mothers dropped below 15 per cent in 1995 and had reached 13.5 per cent when Tony Blair entered Downing Street in May 1997. The proportion of women who are stay-at-home mothers briefly dropped below 10 per cent last summer, and stood at 10.1 per cent at the end of 2014, the report said. By contrast, the proportion of men who choose to become house-husbands has remained low, despite the encouragement of politicians who believe men should take a larger share of childcare duties. In the spring of 1993 just 0.6 per cent of men were economically inactive because they were looking after family or home. While the

Summary: Number of stay-at-home mothers dropped by third in 20 years to record low . Figures come at time of controversy over pressure on working mothers . George Osborne wants to encourage trend by increasing childcare access . Meanwhile just over one man in 100 brings up his children full-time .


Scientists are having extraordinary success treating cancer with new vaccines they believe could be a ‘game-changer’ in the battle against the disease. They have worked out how to teach the body’s immune system to identify cancer cells, allowing patients to be primed to destroy cancer. In one case an American woman given just weeks to live was cleared of advanced blood cancer. She is still alive three years later, and her doctor says she is not a one-off. Scientists are having extraordinary success treating cancer with new vaccines they believe could be a ‘game-changer’ in the battle against the disease . British researchers are now working on a related approach. Both methods involve taking T-cells, which fight infection, and giving them the ability to recognise a special tag on the surface of cancer cells, called the WT1 protein. The research is being carried out on patients with leukaemia. But the scientists hope their vaccines will eventually be used to fight many types of cancer, including that of breast, bowel and prostate – whose cells tend to have WT1 on their surfaces. There is even talk of a ‘universal cancer vaccine’ among some scientists, although the researchers themselves believe that is unlikely. The treatments aim to help the immune system seek out and destroy cancer cells . They do this by giving T-cells the ability to detect a key marker called WT1 . Search and destroy: T-cells can be taught to identify and then kill cancer cells . WT1 is a protein found on the surface of the cells of many types of cancer . T-cells are a type of white blood cell, which fight infections or threats . An infusion of donor stem cells – which can transform into T-cells – may also be used to boost the immune system . Over the past three years, specialist Guenther Koehne, of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, has treated 15 plasma cell leukaemia patients with T-cells taught to recognise cancer. The disease can be treated with chemotherapy-like drugs but it tends to keep returning. All 15 were expected to die within months given normal treatment. But following his regime, Dr Koehne revealed ‘about half’ were still alive. He said: ‘I strongly feel this is a game-changer. Before treatment, I talked to these patients and they said to me: “I have no choice, let’s try this.” They had extremely limited life expectancy. A year later, they call me from work and say they are too busy to see me. That’s really happening.’ His treatment involves taking bone marrow from a donor and splitting it into stem cells and T-cells. The patient receives the stem cells straight away but the T-cells are sensitised to WT1 in the lab by exposing them to fragments of the protein. The T-cells are then given to the patient in a series of injections over several months. Dr Koehne’s first patient, graphic designer Ruth Lacey, 64, underwent the procedure in 2012 after being so ill following a relapse and intensive chemotherapy that she was ‘comatose’. But after

It seemed like a great idea at the time. But when actor Aidan Turner took to Twitter for a BBC #AskPoldark Q&A last night, polite questions were the last thing on fans' minds. Instead, the 31-year-old Irish actor was deluged with queries that ranged from the bizarre to the thoroughly indecent. Marriage proposals also proved popular with Poldark fans taking part in the Twitter Q&A, which took place immediately after the fourth episode of the drama aired, as did requests for an uptick in shirtless scenes. Scroll down for video . Inundated: The 31-year-old was deluged with bizarre questions and marriage proposals from fans . 'AskPoldark will u marry me? I think you're bloody gorgeous Aiden xxx' asked a fan named Julie during the Q&A. 'How do you ever stop looking in the mirror?' asked a Twitter user called SammyPie. Others just seemed overwhelmed. 'Like most women (and quite a few men) I cant think of anything sensible to #AskPoldark once Aidan takes his shirt off. Sorry,' wrote one hyperventilating fan. Another, named Sarah Hook, asked: '#AskPoldark why was I never offered the position of painting semi nude actors when I had my careers talk at school?!' Turner, although slow to respond to marriage proposals, gamely attempted to answer many of the more sensible questions offered up by fans, including one about his new-found fame. Swooning: A fan named Jane Williams spoke for many when she shared her appreciation of shirtless scenes . Compliments: Many of the questions offered up by fans focused on Aidan Turner's looks . Nice work! Another wished that her careers' advice had included tips on becoming a make-up artist . Asked whether he knew that a Twitter account dedicated to his hair existed, the Irishman answered: 'I am aware, yeah! It’s pretty hilarious!' Not everyone was happy with his answers, however, with one fan complaining that Turner took longer to answer than his character did to find copper - a reference to the ongoing plot line about Poldark's mining activities. 'Did he answer any of the questions or has he been removed to some sort of high security location for his own protection? #AskPoldark', wrote another fan named Katy Moran afterwards. Most, however, contented themselves with firing questions on everything from gardening to the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre at the actor. Gardening: Another popular topic with fans was gardening - in particular the scything of lawns . Left field: Others offered up some more unusual questions about the election and Norwich city centre . Too slow: Others complained about the actor's slowness to answer questions . Among the more amusing was a question from a Twitter user named Linda who asked the actor whether he might be interested in a spot of gardening. 'My mower has packed up,' she wrote. 'Would you come round and scythe my lawn please? #AskPoldark' Another, David Hussey, offered up a tongue-in-cheek query that read: 'AskPoldark thinking of ditching the wife, running off with a red-haired wench and opening a copper mine. Any tips or pilchard recipes?' Most entertaining of all

Barbaric Islamic State militants have dealt yet another blow to Christian history in Iraq by using explosives to destroy the 4th Century Mar Benham monastery. The ancient building, built by Assyrian king Senchareb 1,600 years ago, stood in the Christian-dominated town of Bakhdida, just 20 miles south east of oil rich ISIS stronghold Mosul. Locals took to social media to share images of the massive blast, which reduced the ancient monastery to little more than vast piles of rubble. The attack was later confirmed by Kurdish journalists familiar with developments in the city.

Up in smoke: Locals took to social media to share images of the massive blast, which reduced the ancient monastery to little more than vast piles of rubble . Barbaric: Islamic State militants dealt yet another blow to Christian history in Iraq this week by using explosives to destroy the 4th Century Mar Benham monastery . Mar Benham monastery was captured by ISIS last July in a lightning advance that saw the militants seize control of vast swathes of northern Iraq - including the country's second largest city, Mosul. Resident monks who live in the building - which is also known as the Monastery of the Martyrs Saint Behnam and his Sister Sarah, and was once visited by thousands of Christians and Muslims every year - were subsequently forced to leave and flee to nearby Christian villages. The destruction of the religious building was subsequently confirmed by Barzan Sadiq, executive producer at Kurdish Rudaw media network, according to the International Business Times. '#ISIS blew the monastery of the two martyrs "Mar Behnam & His sister Sarah Mart",which dates back to the fourteenth century eastern #Mosul,' he was quoted as saying on Twitter, citing the Islamic calender. The destruction of the monastery came just days it was claimed that 'ancient' statues infamously filmed being smashed to pieces by ISIS militants in a Mosul museum were all worthless fakes. The terrorist organisation released shocking footage at the end of February purportedly showing jihadis destroying 3,000-year-old artworks with sledgehammers in their northern Iraqi stronghold. But Baghdad museum director Fawzye al-Mahdi ridiculed the propaganda exercise, claiming the genuine priceless Assyrian and Akkadian statues and sculptures are still safely in his possession in the Iraqi capital, adding that those in Mosul were plaster cast replicas.

It took a full and frank exchange of views to rejuvenate Nir Bitton’s Celtic career. The Israeli midfielder has emerged as one of Ronny Deila’s key players this season. A likely candidate for a lucrative future transfer. Yet the penny took time to drop. Omitted from the Celtic manager’s early first-team squads, a conversation between the pair became unavoidable. Israeli midfielder Nir Bitton has become a key player for Celtic after struggling to adapt at first . The Norwegian talked. Bitton listened. Crucially, he also learned what it would take to salvage his Celtic career. ‘I prefer the conversation between me and the gaffer to stay between me and him,’ said Bitton. ‘But at the beginning of the season there were a couple of things I didn’t understand in terms of what he expected from me. ‘Sometimes you need a conversation with the gaffer to understand what he wants from you. To understand what he expects from you as a player and a professional.’ Bitton needed a conversation with manager Ronny Deila before the penny finally dropped for him . The temptation for any player out of the team is to blame the coach but Deila told Bitton to look a little closer to home. Speaking in recent weeks, the Celtic boss said: ‘If you put everything on the coach then you are lost, you are finished. ‘You have to go into yourself and ask “Why am I not playing? Why is that guy in front of me?” and when you find that out you have to think “OK, what do I do to get better?” ‘It’s not the other way around, that the coach gives you a chance and then you play well. ‘You have to show in training that you are good enough and then you get your chance, and Nir has done that.’ Pushed on the issue, Bitton will plead guilty on all counts. ‘Of course I had to look at myself,’ he admitted. ‘When you don’t play the first thing you say is: “It’s the gaffer.” 'That’s what everybody says. ‘But after you go home you think honestly: “OK, what am I doing wrong?” ‘I understood that I needed to change myself, that I needed to improve. It’s difficult sometimes to be honest if you have the wrong attitude. But if you want success you must change to do things the way the gaffer wants. ‘I said to myself, if I don’t change I will find myself out of this club. ‘It’s not easy when you are not playing so you need to have a good attitude and a strong mentality — you need to show the gaffer you want to change.’ Bitton is keen to play in the Scottish League Cup final this weekend, but is struggling with injury . In his first season there were glimpses of promise, yet he admits the culture shift and weather were difficult to negotiate. ‘This is one of the reasons it was hard last season. In Israel, 80 per cent of the days are 24 or 25 degrees. Then you

Summary: Israeli midfielder struggled after moving to Scotland this season . Nir Bitton failed to make Ronny Deila's first team at first . But after frank discussion with manager Bitton went away to change game . Young midfielder is now a first team regular for Celtic .


Really, the only surprise was that it took him three touches. Harry Kane had already chested one down in midfield and rolled a pass to fellow substitute Ross Barkley. But his third touch? Well, that was headed into the net. That’s more like it, Harry. So much for the cries for patience. Here was goal No 30 of the season for a young man who simply cannot stop scoring. Twenty nine for his club and now one for his country at senior level. Raheem Sterling clipped an inviting ball up to the back post, where Kane’s instinct had taken him. There was just a thin slice of goal to aim for, but he was never missing.

Killer co-pilot Andreas Lubitz was 'passionate and obsessed' with the French Alps and used to enjoy regular holidays with his family just miles from the Germanwings crash site, it has emerged. The 27-year-old, who deliberately downed Flight 4U9525 killing all 150 people on board, dreamed of becoming a pilot from a young age and frequented a gliding club just 30 miles from the crash site with his parents as a child. Francis Kefer, a member of a flying club in Sisteron, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence where the Airbus A320 crashed, said that Lubitz and his family regularly visited the region between 1996 and 2003. He also took part in flights over the province as a teenager, before later completing a gliding course in the area, which he was said to be 'well-acquainted' with. Scroll down for video . Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz (above) had an obsession with the French Alps and used to fly gliders over the mountainside where he brought down a Germanwings flight, killing all 150 crew and passengers on board . Lubitz regularly visited the French Alps with his family as a youngster and as he grew older he took training courses during which he learnt to fly gliders over the mountainside where he brought down the Airbus A320 .

He is said to have remained calm as he drove the plane directly into the ground . Lubitz brought down the passenger plane in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence on Tuesday. The crash site is just 30 miles from the Aero-club de Sisteron glider airfield, which Lubitz visited regularly as a child with his parents . Dieter Wagner, a member of Luftsportclub Westerwald – the gliding association where Lubitz first learnt to fly aged 14 – said: ‘He was passionate about the Alps, even obsessed with them.’ The 70-year-old added to Le Parisien: ‘Andreas participated in courses in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence with my niece, who was a good friend to him. ‘I am sure he knew the area of the crash because he had flown over it in a glider.’ The flying club, which is situated in Lubitz’s hometown of Montabaur, Germany, confirmed that the co-pilot had taken part in glider training sessions with the club’s partner firm in Sisteron - a town in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence of France. The Aero-club de Sisteron glider airfield, which is popular with glider pilots thanks to its numerous peaks and valleys and stunning panoramas, is situated just 30 miles away from the crash site. An unnamed source told France's Metro News that Lubitz, who would have been nine-years-old when the family started holidaying in the region, seemed a 'normal boy'. Lubitz first sat in the cockpit of a light aircraft at the age of 14 and, after a couple of years of instruction under dual controls, was able to fly on his own.

Burger King has cut soft drinks from its children’s menu amid pressure to promote a healthier image. The fast food chain's kids' meal combinations now include an option of 100 per cent apple juice, fat-free milk or one per cent fat chocolate milk. The beverages roughly contain the same amount of calories and sugar as a classic Coca Cola, but experts highlight they have a better nutritional profile. Indeed, the milk is described an 'excellent source of calcium and a good source of potassium' while the apple juice apparently contains 'one-and-a-half servings of fruit'. A spokesperson for Burger King told Daily Mail Online that the decision to drop soda for young consumers came after a review of 'established scientific and government [nutritional] standards'. Wash it down with milk: Burger King has cut soft drinks from its children’s menu amid pressure to promote a healthier diet . McDonald's and Wendy's are other eateries to implement similar changes in recent months. While fizzy drinks are still on offer at Burger King's Canadian and U.S. restaurants, these beverages will have to be purchased separately to kids' meals. The four main course options on offer to children include a hamburger, cheeseburger, chicken nuggets or oatmeal. Satisfries French Fries or apple slices are offered as side items. Burger King adds that all of these offerings are 'fully compliant with the Children’s Food and Beverage Advertising Initiative pledge'.

The same pour size (8fl oz) of full-fat Coca Cola totals 70 calories. Many healthy eating advocates have applauded Burger King's move and called on other restaurants to follow suit. Margo Wootan, a director of nutrition policy for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, notes that sugary soft drinks are a top source of calories in children's diets and a major contributor to obesity. She told CBS News that steering children away from soda early on will get them on track toward healthier eating in the future. 'Fewer kids [will be] conditioned to think that soda should be a part of every eating out occasion,' she added.

After numerous complaints from neighboring residents about the impoverished group's decision to camp on private property, the city destroyed the campsite on Saturday and the inhabitants left. Town officials previously expressed the desire to eradicate prostitution and drug problems in the area that may be worsened by homelessness, reports the Star Telegram. David Miller told The Star Telegram that he will have to move the small home he built for himself that includes a bedroom, a closet space, windows, and a fluffy white cat named Chamuka. 'I just go by what they say,' Miller said of the city’s plans. 'I know of places I can go. That’s why I’m not really worried. I’m not worried at all. I’ll go somewhere.

Residents living in a picturesque rural village with a population of just 613 have slammed plans to build a Muslim cemetery on greenbelt land - for over 3,000 people. The proposed site in leafy Catherine-de-Barnes, near Solihull, West Midlands, will include a total of 3,333 graves for followers of Islam. This is despite Muslims accounting for fewer than 3 per cent of the population of Solihull and its surrounding areas. Residents living in a picturesque rural village have hit out at controversial plans to build a Muslim cemetery on rural land . The proposed site of 3,000 graves (edged in blue) and the previous applications (green and red) that have been made for the sites near Solihull, West Midlands . Previous applications to build what would have been Britain's largest Muslim-only cemetery put before Solihull Metropolitan Borough have been unsuccessful. But Cemetery Development Services Ltd have now submitted scaled down plans with fewer graves, which could be approved next month. It would mean the cemetery could eventually hold over FIVE times as many people as Catherine-de-Barnes itself. The graveyard would be able to comply fully with Sharia law which states Muslims are traditionally buried in their own section of land, next to others of the same faith. Islamic law also stipulates a method of bathing and shrouding the bodies before being buried with their heads facing towards Mecca. Yesterday villagers criticised the revised plans for the major development - which will also include 95 spaces for visitors - and said it would blight green belt land. Locals are also objecting the plans for the cemetery based on concerns surrounding the impact it will have on traffic. Grandfather-of-four Gerry Chauke, 55, said: 'There is ample room for graves to accommodate the local population here. 'I'm a believer that these sort of developments should serve the local community, but we don't have a massively large multicultural population here. 'So plans to have a graveyard exclusively for Muslims just seems a bit absurd to me.' Leader of Solihull Council, Conservative councillor Bob Sleigh, who represents the Bickenhill ward, said he also agreed the needs of local people could already be met by current plots. The proposal in Catherine-de-Barnes, near Solihull, West Midlands, would include a total of 3,333 graves for followers of Islam . He said: 'This is simply not an appropriate place to site a cemetery. 'Planning permission was refused on substantial grounds last time and I will continue to oppose the scheme on the same grounds again. 'There were a lot of environmental concerns with siting a cemetery on this land. This is just not the right position for this type of scheme. 'There is no need for this extra site in Solihull. We have identified our population need and made provision for that. 'Obviously people are concerned about the scale of the development and its threat to greenbelt land around Catherine-de-Barnes. 'I don't believe the case has been made to overcome the very special measures which apply to greenbelt land.' Trevor Eames, secretary of Solihull Ratepayers Association, said the application was 'disappointing'.

Summary: Application for a controversial Muslim cemetery submitted for third time . New plans are for 3,000 graves on a greenbelt site in Solihull . Application has sparked anger in village of Catherine-de-Barnes .
