This is the moment a professional motorist tricks four driving instructors by 'playing dumb' before unleashing her rubber-burning skills. Leona Chin, 28, from Malaysia, wore a 'nerdy disguise' for the secretly filmed prank, complete with ponytails, a SpongeBob SquarePants T-shirt and pink stockings - a far cry from her usual serious racing look. A big teddy bear in the back seat of the leaner-plated car topped off Chin's 'clueless' look. To start the driving lesson, she performed a range of blunders, from repetitive stalls to wrong turns and dodgy gear shifts. However, just when the unsuspecting instructors were starting to lose hope, Chin stepped on the gas. Footage shows one tutor squealing out in horror as she's forced back into her seat.

Five Chelsea fans who were allegedly involved when a black man was shoved off the Paris metro amid racist chanting are fighting proposed bans which will stop them travelling to football matches. Souleymane Sylla, 33, was trying to board the busy train at Richelieu-Drouot station, ahead of the club's match against Paris St Germain, when supporters twice forced him back onto the platform. In shocking footage filmed at the scene, fans of the Premier League club can then be heard chanting 'We're racist, we're racist and that's the way we like it', while clapping along. Dean Callis, 32, from Islington, north London (left) and William Simpson, 26, from Ashford, Surrey (right) are among five Chelsea fans fighting proposed football bans following a racist incident on the Paris metro . Richard Barklie, a former policeman from Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, could also be banned from games, if the Metropolitan Police win a court case to stop the men travelling to games both at home and abroad . The French commuter said the incident had 'destroyed' him, leaving him unable to work or travel on public transport. His children had also been left traumatised by the reports, he said. The Metropolitan Police are now applying for football banning orders to be imposed on five men whom they believe were involved in the incident. Football banning orders can last between three and five years and are designed to stop trouble making fans travelling to matches at home and abroad. The men involved in the court case are former policeman Richard Barklie, 50, from Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland; City worker Joshua Parsons, 20, from Dorking; Dean Callis, 32, from Islington, north London; Jordan Munday, 20 from Sidcup and William Simpson, 26, from Ashford, Surrey. The group attended Waltham Forest Magistrates' Court in north-east London today for a preliminary hearing. The men, who all wore smart suits, spoke only to confirm their identities. But prosecutor Ian Rees Phillips told the court that all five opposed the implementation of the banning orders. Jordan Munday, 20, from Sidcup (left) and Joshua Parsons, 20, from Dorking (right) also appeared in court today. All five men are planning to fight the proposed bans . He said: 'I understand all five respondents wish to contest matters.' District Judge Mary Connolly said the orders would involve severe restrictions to civil liberties. The incident broke out on 17 February this year while supporters were travelling to the Champions League 1-1 draw. Footage of the 'ugly scene' was recorded by British expat Paul Nolan, sparking outrage across both France and Britain. Barklie, who works as a director of the World Human Rights Forum, was a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary and an officer with the Police Service of Northern Ireland. He has previously apologised for his involvement on the night of the incident and has insisted he is not a racist person.

Cruise companies last night cancelled all stops in Tunis following the terrorist attack. An association which looks after more than 50 cruise operators – including P&O, Thomson and Cunard – said no ships would be calling at the city ‘in the foreseeable future’. The mass cancellations follow a stark warning from the Foreign Office that ‘further attacks are possible’. The FCO has also advised holidaymakers to only travel to the interior of the country with a ‘reputable tour guide’. Scroll down for video . Cancellation: An association which looks after more than 50 cruise operators – including P&O, Thomson and Cunard – said no ships would be calling at the city ‘in the foreseeable future’ (file picture) Italian operators MSC Cruises and Costa Cruises, used by hundreds of British tourists each year, have already scrapped planned stops to Tunisian ports with immediate effect and said they were ‘seeking alternative ports’. Holiday companies Thomson and First Choice said they had also cancelled voyages to Tunis, while P&O, Princess and Celebrity cruises said they were taking advice from security services. A spokesman for the Cruise Lines International Association said last night: ‘No CLIA member ships are scheduled to call at Tunis in the foreseeable future. ‘Cruise lines coordinate closely with national and international authorities when visiting destinations around the globe to help ensure passenger safety.’ Last year, 425,000 British holidaymakers visited Tunisia and last night there were fears that as many as 6,500 could still be in the country. However a spokesman for Thomson and First Choice said: ‘Our customers stay in beach destinations, not Tunis, and we can confirm that none of our customers or staff were affected by Wednesday’s events.’ He added that, as a precaution, all excursions to Tunis have been cancelled. Meanwhile a spokesman for travel agent association ABTA said the tourist season was only just getting under way but safety was always a priority. He told Sky News: ‘Tourist numbers to Tunisia have picked up over the last two years and we have had very healthy bookings for this summer. The season really picks up around mid-April to May. Warning: It comes following a stark warning from the Foreign Office that ‘further attacks are possible’. Pictured: Tourists flee from the Bardo Museum in Tunis after Wednesday's attack . ‘We now have a developing situation. ABTA follows FCO advice very closely and safety is always the main concern.’ Bob Atkinson, a travel expert at TravelSupermarket, added: ‘Tour operators have a responsibility to ensure the safety of their tour operators. ‘Consumers who already have holidays booked this year will want to be convinced of the safety – most of them will be staying at beach resorts and the vast bulk would not even go to Tunis on a day trip.’ The Tunis outrage has tragic echoes of the November 1997 Luxor massacre in Egypt, when gunmen killed 58 foreign holidaymakers including six Britons. Tour operators pulled out of the Egyptian market and it was some time before holidays started again. The CLIA spokesperson continued: ‘Cruise line security personnel, in addition to

Claire Allnutt died in hospital after a dirty drip was left in her arm for four days. Her family are now taking action against the NHS trust involved, which, they claim, only gave staff 20 minutes training in a new system of patient monitoring . Medics who treated a young woman who died after a dirty drip was left in her arm for four days had just 20 minutes training in a monitoring system, it has been claimed. Claire Allnutt was recovering from having the flesh-eating bug necrotising fasciitis at Luton and Dunstable Hospital last year when the contaminated catheter was used to administer antibiotics. Her devastated parents, Ann and Richard, are now taking action against the NHS trust involved and are claiming staff may have had just 20 minutes training on a new system of monitoring patients. Ms Alnutt's family have also reported five medics from the hospital to the, the General Medical Council watchdog, claiming a catalogue of errors led to their daughter's death. Claire, 28, has been suffering from the flesh-eating infection but was making a full recovery after two months in hospital. But she died from septicaemia when a drip administering antibiotics was left in her arm for four days, triggering blood poisoning. It later emerged that the hospital was using a new electronic alert system called National Early Warning Score. It showed that Claire's condition was deteriorating but staff appear not to have acted on the alert. Her family lodged Freedom of Information request and found staff may have only had 20 minutes training on the system. They have instructed lawyers specialising in medical negligence cases to take action against the hospital. Carole Watts of firm Ashton KCJ said: 'On the face of it this seems to be a very short period of training, especially as the electronic warning system deals with life and death situations. 'It's of great concern to Claire's parents that the staff using the electronic system may not have been adequately trained to use it. 'They are devastated by the loss of their daughter and it's important for them to know that lessons have been learnt from their tragic loss.' An inquest last year heard how a junior doctor spotted fungal spores in the tube on a Friday but it wasn't removed until the following Tuesday. Observation notes showed Claire's condition worsened over the weekend but medics decided to just monitor her and no action was taken until the Tuesday. By that time, life-threatening sepsis had set in and she suffered several heart attacks before dying in the early hours of the following morning. Claire, from Luton, Bedforshire, who was obese and had learning difficulties, had initially refused to consent to the tube being withdrawn because of a phobia of needles. Ms Allnutt's family have also reported five members of staff at the hospital to the General Medical Council . Her family have questioned why no action was taken to remove the drip, known as a PICC line. Ms Watts added: 'The family have many questions about the circumstances of Claire's death and

Militants fighting for the Islamic State have now turned their savagery on the dead, tearing down graves and smashing tombs at a cemetery in Syria. Not content with the rape and massacre of the estimated four million brutally oppressed people living under the terror group's control in Syria and Iraq, ISIS jihadis are now victimising the dead.

Pep Guardiola, never satisfied. Despite averaging six goals a game in their last three matches, the Bayern Munich manager has insisted his team must improve their attacking threat. The Bundesliga leaders have overcome their previous opposition 4-1, 6-0 and 8-0 in their last three league games, but after a 2-0 cup win against Eintracht Braunschweig, Guardiola implored his side to improve. 'We must do better in attack,' he told reporters on Friday. 'In defence we are imperious – opponents have very few chances against us.

Our overall attacking game must get better.' Bayern have opened up an eight-point gap at the top of the league, but it is their incredible goal difference of 53 which is perhaps most impressive.

'We have to think first of this Bundesliga game - there are still 33 potential points to be won starting with Hannover. Wolfsburg are on our tail, just eight points behind us, we know that. 'We've had less time to prepare than Hannover, so we must engage full concentration. I will choose my strongest possible XI regardless of our game with Shakhtar coming up.'

Summary: Bayern Munich have averaged six goals a game in their last three league encounters, winning 4-1, 6-0 and 8-0 . Pep Guardiola insists that his side must improve their attacking threat .

A wife has lost her £2million divorce battle with her property tycoon ex-husband - who is worth £38million – because she had signed a 'post-nuptial agreement'. A judge heard William and Caroline Hopkins, who had lived together near Wincanton, Somerset, married more than three decades after starting an affair, but separated after less than three years. The High Court in London heard the couple, who separated in the summer of 2011, had signed a 'post-nuptial' agreement under which Mrs Hopkins would receive two properties, £350,000 and a share of her ex-husband's pension. But Mrs Hopkins, 62, complained that the agreement had been breached after she was put under 'undue pressure' and exploited - and argued that she should be awarded a further £2million. A High Court (pictured) judge rejected Caroline Hopkins claim for £2million after she signed a 'post-nuptial' agreement, which already entitled her to two properties, £350,000 and a share of her ex-husband's pension . Deputy High Court Judge Nicholas Cusworth QC, in a written ruling, said that he preferred Mr Hopkins's evidence - and added Mrs Hopkins had 'sought to underplay' the agreement and had 'dramatised' what happened. He rejected her claim of 'undue influence' and cleared Mr Hopkins of 'badgering and harassing' her. Mrs Hopkins had claimed her ex-husband was worth £54.3 million, although he put the figure at £38.4 million. She also accused her former husband of 'bullying' her into signing up to the deal. Mr Hopkins, 66, described by lawyers as a multi-millionaire property developer, disputed her claim and offered another £200,000. She said that when she had questioned the fairness of the agreement, he had become 'uncontrollably angry', raising his fist and tightening her clothes around her neck. But Mr Hopkins denied there was any such incident, but accepted there may have been 'some physical tension' between them during an 'extremely fraught' time as their marriage broke down. The court heard Mr Hopkins and Mrs Hopkins had written lists of 'how things could change' to each other shortly before separating. Mr Hopkins had written at the top of his list: 'I would like to be listened to' but Mrs Hopkins added 'listening' third on her list. The couple, now in their 60s, met in the 1980s while both were married with young children. They had a child together after what was described as a 'clandestine affair', but only married in 2009. After moving in together in Wincanton in 2001, they married after Mr Hopkins had begged her to give him 'one last chance', the court heard. But just over a year after their wedding, Mrs Hopkins went to see a divorce lawyer to seek advice about her entitlements – and the post-nuptial agreement was signed in August 2011. Under the deal, Mrs Hopkins got the family home - 'Lynwood', in Wincanton, which is valued at more than £530,000 as well as an investment property worth about £250,000. She also received a 50% stake in her husband's pension, worth more than £200,000. Deputy High Court Judge Nicholas Cusworth QC (pictured) said Mrs Hopkins had 'sought to underplay'

Summary: William and Caroline Hopkins married in 2009 after an affair in the 1980s . Mrs Hopkins signed post-nup, entitling her to £350,000 and two properties .

Scroll down for video . As Mrs Jobson lies in bed, care home workers (pictured) were heard to ask her if she was a 'witch' and also mimicked the groaning sounds she was making, which were caused by her dementia . They can also be heard swearing in front of her and are alleged to have removed a bandage used to cover a bedsore on her elbow and wrap it around her head while laughing. Ms Jobson said: 'I am disgusted and sickened. I haven't slept a wink since I saw the footage. 'What if their actions had caused her heart to stop? Would we have just thought mother died peacefully in her sleep? It does not even bear thinking about. 'There's a sign on the door of the home that states, "Dignity, Respect and Care". But where was the dignity, respect and care for my 84-year-old mother? 'Our family put its trust in those who are supposed to be professional carers. All we wanted was end-of-life dignity and care for my mother.' Humberside Police, the Care Quality Commission and the East Riding of Yorkshire Safeguarding Adults are carrying out a joint investigation. Freda Jobson (pictured), 84, suffers from Alzheimer's and her care is funded by East Riding Council . In the footage, three female staff members are seen leaning over Mrs Jobson's bed and mimicking the noise she makes and laughing. One of the women is heard to say, 'Don't she look like a gypsy witch?' She then adds: 'I bet you are into black magic. Are you a witch? Are you a witch?' Mrs Jobson, whose late husband George was a Freeman of Beverley, worked nightshifts at care homes in the town, including Figham House and Molescroft. Her care is funded by East Riding Council. Shortly after arriving at the home in 2010, Mrs Jobson began suffering from bedsores, which are caused by prolonged pressure to the skin. Her daughter, who works at Educare, a nursery in Mill Lane, Beverley, had watched a programme about spy cameras used in homes. She said: 'I thought: Why haven't I done that? I wanted to know my mother was being properly looked after. I thought it would put my mind at rest.' 'We watched the footage on Tuesday on my laptop,' she said. 'I was livid when I saw it and I went straight round to the home and demanded to see a senior member of staff.' Ms Jobson says she confronted Paul Raper, director of the home, and his wife Jane. His mother, Cecilia

He has since undergone chemotherapy but even as his health fails, he cannot contain his excitement about the prospect awaiting his country and its near neighbour. Crowe wrote on ESPN Cricinfo: 'On Sunday, in front of a packed house at the one and only Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australia and New Zealand go to war once again. This time not as brothers in arms but as fierce rivals, a rivalry all the more meaningful for our long history together. 'We are brothers and will always be. On Sunday one sibling will upset the other. As one of those proud brothers, I am stunned by the prospect. 'Without question, this will be the personal cricketing highlight of my life, and I sense for New Zealand too. 'My precarious life ahead may not afford me the luxury of many more games to watch and enjoy. So this is likely to be it. The last, maybe, and I can happily live with that.' Brendon McCullum's attacking batting and captaincy has led New Zealand to the final, while Martin Guptill rewrote the World Cup record books with his unbeaten 237 against the West Indies in the quarter-final, while the bowling attack has also been in form.

Crowe continued: 'To see the two sons I never had, Ross Taylor and Marty Guptill, run out in black, in sync with their close comrades, drawing on all their resolve and resilience, will be mesmerically satisfying. 'I will hold back tears all day long. I will gasp for air on occasions. I will feel like a nervous parent. I will, like so many Kiwis making the short trek across the Tasman, feel this to be the greatest cricketing time of our lives. 'Four million dare to believe, while 11 (and back-up) dare to achieve. Whatever happens, March 29 at the MCG will be the most divine fun ever.'

A man who allegedly tied weights to his dog's hind legs, beat him and dragged him through the streets has been charged with animal cruelty. Fabian Santiago, 20, was arrested Thursday in Manassas, Virginia, after a photo of him walking the animal caught the attention of police. A concerned bystander who saw Santiago out with the animal last month, posted a photograph, which was shared repeatedly on social media, and eventually came to the attention of authorities. Busted: Fabian Santiago was arrested for tying weights to his dog's hind legs after police saw the above photo gaining attention online . Speaking to local Fox station WTTG, a Manassas City Police spokesman said the woman who posted the photo also called them. The spokesman said: 'The witness told us that she had seen the owner striking the dog with his hand while walking him, he had also ties weights to the dog's legs. 'The dog was on a leash so he was essentially pulling the dog.' Manassas City Police said Santiago explained what he was doing - but would not reveal what his reason was. However, a police spokesman said the practice is typical in animals being trained for dog-fighting. The dog, who was not badly hurt, is being cared for by Santiago's family while he awaits his court date next month.

The warning from Shaun Edwards after Saturday’s demolition job in the Eternal City was that Wales will build on their momentum and arrive at the World Cup with even sharper teeth. After opening with defeat by England, Wales won all of their remaining RBS 6 Nations fixtures. In the end, they were left to rue a late breakaway try from Italy’s Leonardo Sarto that, according to Warren Gatland, represented a title-defining 14-point swing. Wales' Sam Warburton scores a try during the Six Nations demolition of Italy in the 61-20 victory on Saturday . Warburton yells in delight having scored a second-half try for Wales as Warren Gatland's side ran riot . Edwards was left to ponder the ‘what ifs’ in the underground concourses of the Stadio Olimpico, though the defence coach believes Wales will be a significant force when they re-group for summer training camps in Switzerland and Qatar. ‘We’ll be on an even higher plateau by the World Cup,’ he said. ‘The World Cup is the only time that we compete on an equal level to the southern hemisphere teams. They are together for four months every year and we like to think we get better with time together. There are no guarantees but I don’t think we’ll be a bad team come the World Cup.’ The extensive preparations will involve another meeting with Italy for a warm-up match at the Millennium Stadium. Wales' defence coach Shaun Edwards believes the team will be even better by the World Cup . The victorious Wales players applaud the travelling fans at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome . Confidence will be high after the imperious second-half display in Rome — scoring 47 points in 26 minutes — but focus will be on how to shake off their habit of starting campaigns slowly. With most of the squad playing slow-paced regional rugby, fitness levels have been identified as one of the keys to the problem. Gatland will push his side to their limits and centre Jamie Roberts believes they will be even stronger than the Welsh side that reached the 2011 World Cup semi-final in New Zealand. ‘We are definitely better than we were four years ago,’ said Roberts. ‘The core of players are still together and there’s a lot more experience. ‘We know when we get together for a long period of time we are a bloody good team. I think it showed against England that we were a bit rusty when we have just two weeks prep together. The lucky Wales fans who made the trip to the Stadio Olimpico were treated to a masterclass of rugby . Jamie Roberts (centre) opened the try account for Wales early in the first-half on Saturday . ‘Looking back to the last World Cup, we had more time together and really worked in putting in the hard yards in terms of fitness and technical play. That preparation period gives us scope to work on things and improve our conditioning. ‘The warm-up games will be a good measuring stick of where we are. Touch wood, the last

Summary: Wales beat Italy to end their Six Nations campaign on a high note . After defeat by England, Wales won all of their remaining matches . Defence coach Shaun Edwards is confident Wales will be even better by the time the World Cup comes around . Jamie Roberts thinks Wales are better than four years ago .


The Delhi gang-rape victim's father has called on all countrymen to watch a banned documentary which showed his daughter's killer blaming the student for 'being out at night'. India's Daughter was described as the 'bitter truth' by the young woman's father after it quoted the views of her rapist Mukesh Singh, who is on death row over the 2012 attack. The film by award-winning Briton Leslee Udwin, who produced 1999 indie hit East is East, was due to air on the BBC and Indian news channel NDTV to mark International Women's Day this Sunday. But it was dropped by NDTV following a ban on the film by the Indian government, and the BBC brought forward its screening to last night, citing a strong public interest. Scroll down for video . 'Everyone should see it': The father of the New Delhi bus gang-rape victim (pictured left with her mother) has urged his countrymen to watch a BBC documentary on the crime despite India's government banning it . Today India's Home Minister Rajnath Singh vowed there would be consequences for the Corporation, telling NDTV: 'We had asked to not release the documentary but BBC still released it. 'We will investigate and the MHA (Ministry of Home Affairs) will take action accordingly. The conditions have been breached so action will be taken accordingly. I won't comment any further.' The hour-long documentary aired as part of the long-running Storyville series on BBC Four, and is believed to have been accessed by many in India on sites such as YouTube. Today the victim's family showed their support for the film, saying the rapist's comments had to be be exposed because they expressed how many people still think. The victim's father, who is named in the documentary but kept anonymous by some international news agencies, told NDTV the film was 'the bitter truth'. Horror: The crew obtained an interview with killer Mukesh Singh, who said the student was to blame . 'Everyone should watch the film,' he said. 'If a man can speak like that in jail, imagine what he would say if he was walking free?' The victim's mother added she did not object to the ban but believed Singh's views were widespread in India. 'I don't care what the government does, bans the film, doesn't ban the film, the only thing I know is that nobody is afraid,' she said. 'It is not only Mukesh who thinks like this.' Mukesh Singh was one of five men convicted over the rape and murder of the physiotherapy student, who was lured aboard a bus along with a friend in December 2012. Once inside, bus driver Singh, his brother Ram, gym instructor Vinay Sharma, 20, bus cleaner Akshay Thakur, 28, fruit-seller Pawan Gupta, 19, and an unnamed teenager launched the attack. The attackers beat her friend and took turns raping the woman. They penetrated her with a rod, leaving severe internal injuries that caused her death. She died a fortnight later after suffering terrible injuries to her abdomen, genitals and intestines. Her death prompted mass protests and led to

Manchester United's attacking woes have been highlighted once more as it has emerged that Tottenham striker Harry Kane has scored more goals than Louis van Gaal's entire attack this season. Kane has scored 26 goals in all competitions during the course of the current campaign. The Tottenham star has netted 16 Barclays Premier League goals thus far. Manchester United's attacking trio of Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Radamel Falcao have amassed 25 goals in all competitions during the same period. Harry Kane celebrates his second goal against QPR during his side's 2-1 victory at Loftus Road on Saturday . Kane's form has been the highlight of Tottenham's season so far . Harry Kane: 26 . Robin van Persie: 10 . Wayne Rooney: 11 . Radamel Falcao: 4 . That statistic will compound a miserable week for United who were dumped out of the FA Cup by Arsenal on Monday night. Rooney, who has been deployed in a midfield role in recent months, put his recent goal-scoring issues behind him to fire United into the lead in the 29th minute. But former United striker Danny Welbeck came back to haunt his old employers with the winner on the hour mark. Welbeck was moved on by Van Gaal following Falcao's arrival but the Colombian has not been having the best of times at Old Trafford recently. Radamel Falcao smiles from the window of his Range Rover Sport as he arrives at training on Thursday . Falcao toiled upfront against Tottenham Hotspur for Manchester United's Under 21s on Tuesday night . The failing loan signing is aware he has no long-term future at Old Trafford and will be sent back to Monaco . Falcao left Manchester United's Carrington training base on Thursday, well aware that his chances to impress at his loan club have run out. The Colombian striker suffered an embarrassing demotion to United's Under 21 side this week and sources close to Falcao say he recognises that he made the wrong move when picking Old Trafford in the summer. Spurs, meanwhile, are having no such issues up front as Kane's superb form has earned him the Barclays Premier League player of the month award for the second successive time. Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney celebrates after scoring against Arsenal in the FA Cup on Monday . The Tottenham striker scored four goals in February, including a brace against north London rivals Arsenal and the equaliser against West Ham. He is also likely to earn his first senior England call-up later this month when Roy Hodgson names his squad to face Lithuania and Italy.

As one of the UK’s most popular fast food chains, it sells almost 400 pieces of chicken every minute. But now conditions on the farms that supply KFC with 23million chickens a year can be shown for the first time. The images show tens of thousands of chickens kept together in huge sheds, alive for just 35 days before they are gassed. Scroll down for video . Life on the farm: Supplier Andrew in the shed filled with 34,00 chickens destined for the fast food chain KFC . The thousands of chickens live together in huge sheds for just 35 days before they are gassed . A documentary tonight shows the birds living amid their excrement in conditions activists say are ‘oppressive’ – but the farmer in charge claims it’s ‘a very good life’. Footage to be screened this evening on BBC1 focuses on one farm where about 34,000 chickens are penned into a shed with few windows. When they are large enough the chickens are gassed, chopped into nine pieces and sent to warehouses in large trays where they are then distributed to branches nationwide. The farmer in charge claimed the birds had 'a very good life' and showed how they were healthy . Farms supply KFC with around 23 million chickens each year and its chains sell almost 400 pieces of chicken every minute. At one farm around 34,000 chickens are penned into sheds with few windows . About 1,000 farms in the country supply KFC with 23million chickens a year. The programme focuses on a farmer called Andrew who says the chickens at his farm – left to do nothing but eat and drink until they reach the required weight – have a good life, saying he ‘wouldn’t mind being a chicken in here’. Scenes show the chickens as they walk around in their own excrement while a layer of sawdust has turned murky brown from mopping up waste. Asked if he thinks this is a problem, Andrew says: ‘No, no, no, that’s not a problem at all, because you see here, this is all sawdust, so the idea is to keep this as dry as possible.’ The supplier, who has 35 years’ experience, says: ‘As you can see, they’ve got beautifully clean feet and that is a good sign that these birds are healthy and they’ve been grown on good litter. You can see this is a good, healthy chicken. I can’t think there’s anything better than being sat in a chicken farm looking at chickens. You can see for yourself, they look absolutely fantastic.’ Asked whether he feels it is a shame their lives end so soon, he says: ‘No, they probably have a short life but they have a very good life.’ Yesterday animal rights campaigners claimed the lives of the KFC chickens were ‘oppressive’. Andrew Tyler, director of Animal Aid, said: ‘These birds have no meaningful life. They endure a wretched existence in giant windowless sheds stinking with ammonia. A very large number die from starvation or dehydration. About 900million of these birds are produced

A father-of-two claims he spent the night in a hospital storage room with a brass bell to call for help and his drip dangling from a light fighting. With no other beds available Paul Ross-Bowker slept surrounded by oxygen cannisters and medical supplies, just three days after surgeons removed his appendix. His mother said the conditions were so bad, she 'half expected to see Florence Nightingale'. But while expressing her shock at her son's situation, Ms Ross-Bowker said she cannot fault the staff who cared for him. Mr Ross-Bowker was taken to Gwynedd Hospital in Bangor on Monday after complaining of pain in his abdomen. Paul Ross-Bowker claims he was moved to a hospital 'storage room'. His mother Pauline, said while she was shocked at her son's situation she cannot fault the care he received from staff at the hospital . This picture shows how Mr Ross-Bowker's drip was attached to a light fitting. A spokesman for the said it was a treatment room where clinical procedures were regularly carried out . That night, the 35-year-old had an operation to have his appendix removed, before he was taken back to his bed on one of the hospital wards. His mother Pauline said her son was still in excruciating pain the next day, and doctors subsequently discovered his wound was infected. They prescribed him the painkiller morphine, and put him on an antibiotic drip to try and combat the infection. In the early hours of Thursday morning staff woke Mr Ross-Bowker and told him he needed to be moved because his bed was needed. But instead of moving the IT worker from Brynsiencyn on Anglesey to another ward, he was taken to a side room. Staff told him it was a 'treatment, assessment, storage room'. A spokesman for the health trust which runs the hospital said the room was a treatment room where clinical procedures are routinely carried out. But not being a part of the general ward, there was no alarm system to call staff so Mr Ross-Bowker was instead given a brass bell to call nurses if he needed to. There were oxygen cannisters on the floor, as well as boxes of medical supplies. And his family said his drip was hung from the ceiling via a light fitting, preventing the 35-year-old from going to the toilet. His mother said while being shocked by her son's situation, she cannot fault the staff who cared for him. She said: 'It was a converted store cupboard which they have shoved an old bed into. The 35-year-old had his appendix removed at Gwynedd Hospital in Bangor, north Wales, on Monday. But in the early hours of Thursday morning he was moved to the side room. He said he was given a brass bell and was surrounded by oxygen cannisters and other medical supplies . 'How clean would this room have been? Certainly not as clean as the wards. He had just had surgery and had an infected wound. 'He was given a brass bell and the drip was attached to the light fitting, it

A desperate attempt to stop China's precious 'water pandas' dying out forever has begun on the Yangtze River. The Yangtze finless porpoise is facing the same fate as their cousin, the river dolphins which were officially declared extinct in 2006, wiped out by human development in the world's most populous country. There are just 1,000 of the fresh water mammals left living in the world's longest river, but number are declining by more than 13 per cent every year, the People's Daily Online reports. At that rate, the finless porpoises - who are known for their mischievous smiles, and referred to affectionately as China's pandas of the water - will be extinct within a decade. Endangered: The Yangtze finless porpoise is critically endangered and could be extinct within the decade . Mission: Fishermen and experts have known joined together to try to halt the decline . But now local fishermen have joined forces with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and China's Institute of Hydrobiology to try and turn the tide for the porpoises, after the Ministry of Agriculture and the Yangtze River Fishery Supervision Bureau decided it was time to save the species. The Yangtze Finless Porpoise Conservation Project officially began this month when a fleet of carefully navigated boats headed out into Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province. The lake is almost twice the size of London and hit the headlines last year after it dried up, thanks to the Three Gorges reservoir - the world's biggest dam - and a drought. But the freshwater lake, the largest in China, is also home to almost half the surviving finless porpoises - a total of 450 animals. The project aimed to catch the Yangtze's last remaining water mammals, attracting them using sonar to allow them to collect data on their health, gender, weight and measurements. The strongest animals were then taken to be released into other areas, where scientists hope they will help increase the populations. Plan: A new project sees some of the strongest animals from the largest population being relocated . Future: Experts hope the animals they catch in Poyang Lake will help increase populations elsewhere . WWF's porpoise project protection commissioner Zhang Xinqiao said they had managed to catch 36 finless porpoises since March 11. 'After physical examinations we have temporarily placed 11 of them into holding cages and eight of these will be relocated to their new homes in April,' he added . It is thought the porpoises will be moved to waters in two conservation areas on the border of Hunan and Hubei provinces.

Summary: Yangtze finless porpoises are classified as 'critically endangered' by WWF . Only surviving mammals in the Yangtze since river dolphins made extinct . Just 1,000 finless porpoises remain - and could be extinct with ten years . WWF and Institute of Hydrobiology now launched program to save species . Organisations, with the help of local fishermen, hope to reverse decline .


Kris Commons says he wants Celtic’s arch-rivals Rangers in the Scottish Premiership as soon as possible — despite the Ibrox club suffering a lamentable 2-2 home draw with Alloa on Tuesday night. Championship leaders Hearts could clinch automatic promotion to the top tier if results go their way this weekend. That would leave Rangers embroiled in a grim battle for the second promotion spot under new manager Stuart McCall, although on current form they could even miss the play-offs. Celtic forward Kris Commons, pictured training on Tuesday, wants Rangers back in the top flight . However, in a view unlikely to curry unanimous favour amongst Celtic supporters, Commons — who scored in the recent League Cup semi-final between the Glasgow giants — admits he wants the Old Firm fixture back next season. ‘Personally, yes, because the games with Rangers are the best games,’ said the Parkhead forward. ‘They draw the best crowds and a large TV audience for people around the world. It makes people want to get out of bed in the middle of the night in Australia. ‘My mates down south don’t know much about Scottish football but they want to see that game. I love playing in them. ‘There are a lot of fans who are on the fence (about) whether it’s right or wrong but I love them.’ The new board still hope the return of Ibrox icon McCall can spark an improvement as they battle Hibernian for second place. The Ibrox side were hot favourites to finish top of the league at the beginning of the season, but Commons remains unsurprised to see them struggle. Rangers suffered a disappointing 2-2 draw against Alloa on Tuesday - their fifth in a row in the league . Ben Gordon (centre) is congratulated by his team-mates after his goal gave the part-timers a shock lead . ‘I have played in the Championship in England with teams trying to get back up and it’s not easy,’ he continued. ‘Some teams go down from the Premier League and they end up in League one, like Blackpool, Sheffield United and Wednesday. ‘Not only does it affect the players, the manager, coaches and fans, it’s a city thing. It’s a massive thing. ‘It’s very difficult to have the wind knocked out of your sails. ‘When you are struggling — as Rangers are — that’s when you need to call on experience and that’s why they have tried to go with Stuart McCall.’ Commons scored the opener as Celtic secured the League Cup with a 2-0 win over Dundee United on Sunday. The Parkhead side can take a huge step towards their target of a rare domestic treble by beating the Tannadice side again in Wednesday night’s Scottish Cup quarter-final replay at Parkhead. Celtic are bidding to win a domestic treble this season after claiming the Scottish League Cup last Sunday . Jock Stein and Martin O’Neill completed domestic clean sweeps when Rangers were strong, but Commons rubbishes any suggestion of a diminished achievement in the absence of their Glasgow rivals. ‘I think the last

Summary: Kris Commons wants Rangers to get promoted to the Scottish Premiership . Rangers are third, which would be enough to earn a play-off place . The struggling Ibrox club have not won in their last five league however . Should Stuart McCall's side slip to fourth they would miss out play-offs . Commons says the Old Firm derbies are the best games to play in .


A stockbroker who crashed a £250,000 super-car was pulled from the burning wreckage by the salesman giving him a test drive. The driver, who has not been named, lost control of the McLaren 650S and smashed it into a tree. As the vehicle burst into flames, salesman Lee Christian managed to clamber out but he was initially unable to free the unconscious driver. One of the firefighters saidit had been the single biggest accident he had attended where the crew did not have to remove bodies . It was only seconds before the fuel tank exploded – completely destroying the 200mph car – that he pulled him clear. The stockbroker was taken by air ambulance to hospital where he was treated for fractures to a shoulder, elbow and ankle. He is still recovering from a series of skin grafts. Mr Christian, who suffered cuts and burns, was back at work at the McLaren dealership in Knutsford, Cheshire, within four weeks. Father-of-two Lee Christian, 37, sustained a nasty cut to the back of his head and burns to his face and head . The father of two said: ‘After we impacted with the tree, my first thought was that I was OK. But when I looked across, the driver looked in a very bad way. 'The impact had ripped off the driver’s door and there were flames in the back of the car. ‘I tried to make my escape through the passenger door but that was jammed, so I had to clamber over the driver. ‘The fire was so intense that it was difficult to get to him and on the third attempt I knew it was going to be now or never. ‘I managed to grab him by his trouser belt and by an arm and with my feet against the vehicle managed to pull him out. ‘I then managed to carry him 30 metres into the field with the car behind me banging and exploding. 'Passers-by used the detached driver’s door to shield him from the intensity of the blaze.’ Mr Christian has been honoured with a bravery award from Cheshire Constabulary. Chief Constable Simon Byrne said: ‘It was a selfless act in an extremely perilous scenario that put Lee’s own life at risk. His actions are very much deserving of this commendation.’ The incident took place on a country road near High Legh, around four miles from the McLaren dealership. Mr Christian said he had had two ‘very nice’ letters from the driver’s wife in which she said without his actions her husband would not be alive. A firefighters said it had been the single biggest accident he had attended where the crew did not have to remove bodies . In the weeks following the crash Mr Christian also went to thank the firefighters from Stockton Heath who had attended on the day . He added: ‘One of the firefighters told me it had been the single biggest accident he had attended where the crew did not have to remove bodies. ‘That just shows how lucky we both were on

Summary: Salesman Lee Christian from Cheshire saved his customer from the crash . He received a top bravery award for rescuing the Warrington broker . Both men were lucky to escape with their lives after car burst into flames .


The Obama administration has put the brakes on its plans to ban a popular type of rifle ammunition after an onslaught of criticism from both the public and lawmakers. 'You spoke, we listened,' the agency said Tuesday afternoon on Twitter. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says the agency received more than 80,000 public comments on the proposal to outlaw some types of 5.56 mm rounds – also known as .223 caliber ammunition. The agency said Tuesday that comments ran overwhelmingly against the proposal, which it first floated in February. The ammunition targeted by the ATF is commonly known as 'green-tip' because of its distinctive appearance. GREEN-TIP: The popular rifle ammunition is no longer being targeted for extinction by the ATF . Hunters and target shooters use the bullets, primarily in AR-15-style rifles like this one, but the ammo could travel fast enough from a handgun to pierce a police officer's body armor . UNCLE: The ATF decided Tuesday that it couldn't withstand an onslaught from legislators and the public . 'Although ATF endeavored to create a proposal that reflected a good faith interpretation of the law and balanced the interests of law enforcement, industry, and sportsmen, the vast majority of the comments received to date are critical of the framework, and include issues that deserve further study,' the agency said in a press release. 'Accordingly, ATF will not at this time seek to issue a final framework.' That carefully parsed language leaves open the possibility that the government could revive the idea in the future. The ATF plans to keep collecting comments until March 16. Hundreds of lawmakers, including 52 U.S. senators, also objected. The ATF had proposed banning the ammunition, most commonly used in the popular AR-15-style rifles, because they could potentially penetrate a police officer's protective vest if fired from a handgun instead. The Law Enforcement Officers Protection Act banned armor-piercing handgun ammunition in 1986. Green-tip ammo has long been exempt because it's primarily used in hunting and target-shooting rifles. The ATF's proposal would have removed that exemption, effectively banning its sale in the United States. Virginia Republican Rep. Bob Goodlatte took a rhetorical victory lap on Tuesday from his perch as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. 'After much pressure from a large, bipartisan majority in the House of Representatives, I am pleased that the Obama Administration has abandoned its attack on the Second Amendment,' Goodlatte said in a statement. 'It is entirely inappropriate for President Obama to stretch his regulatory authority to implement partisan policies that Congress has refused to enact,' he added. 'Such an abuse of power would impact many law-abiding gun owners and restrict the American people's ability to legally and responsibly exercise their Second Amendment rights.' Last week Goodlatte and 238 other House members, including seven Democrats, sent a verbal stop sign to the ATF. 'Under no circumstances should ATF adopt a standard that will ban ammunition that is overwhelmingly used by law-abiding Americans for legitimate purposes,' the lawmakers wrote to ATF Director B. Todd Jones. On Monday a group of 53

Summary: 'Green-tip' bullets were oni the endangered list as ATF wanted to remove its exemption from a federal law that protects police officers . It's mostly used in hunters and target shooting rifles, but could pierce body armor if it's fired through a handgun . 53 senators and 239 House members – including seven Democrats – signed protest letters to the ATF's director . ATF gave in, saying it would shelve the proposal . National Rifle Association called it a polical plan .


He was the manager who wanted to be sacked. For while Gus Poyet may have vowed to fight on in the wake of Saturday’s 4-0 humiliation at home to Aston Villa, Monday’s dismissal as head coach of Sunderland would have come as a mighty relief. Poyet has long since lost faith in his vision for Sunderland. Frustrated by the influence of sporting director Lee Congerton in transfers, he was left with a dysfunctional team made up of players signed by both himself and the club hierarchy.

They lost to Manchester City. 14 - Sunderland's final position in Poyet's first season. 4 - The amount of games won in the Premier League by Sunderland this season. The joint-worst with bottom side Leicester. Some of Poyet’s press-conference outbursts distanced him from the personnel on the pitch and were not well received at boardroom level. ‘I am not going to be a head coach when it suits and a manager when it doesn’t,’ he said in December. ‘It is clear what we need to do. That is down to recruitment. So, if you ever get the chance to speak to anyone on the recruitment side and ask them about it, you are lucky. If you don’t, don’t ask me.’ Such comments would not have been tolerated at other clubs and Congerton informed owner Ellis Short that Poyet was not the man to take them forward. Poyet grew particularly disillusioned during January and when he let coach Charlie Oatway take a pre-match and half-time team talk there was a feeling he had lost interest. Subsequent team selections left players and senior figures baffled - four central midfielders named in the starting XI versus Hull, who play with wing-backs, being the most alarming example.

Stephen Hawking has made a heartfelt plea to stop fellow motor neurone sufferers dying without a voice. The world’s most famous scientist said losing the capacity to communicate is one of the most frightening challenges faced by people with motor neurone disease. Yet campaigners fear many funding gaps throughout Britain mean many sufferers fail to get the help they deserve. Some have been waiting months, when they rely on loved ones to interpret their needs, but others die first. Physicist Hawking, whose inspiring story is the subject of the Oscar-winning biopic The Theory of Everything starring Eddie Redmayne, lost the ability to speak in 1985. Stephen Hawking said not being able to communicate is 'one of the most frightening and isolating aspects of living with motor neurone disease'. He has made a plea to ensure other sufferers do not die without a voice . He now talks through a speech synthesiser with a distinctive electronic voice recognised globally. He said ‘I am a Patron of the Motor Neurone Disease Association. ‘Their campaign "Don’t Let Me Die Without A Voice" highlights how not being able to communicate is one of the most frightening and isolating aspects of living with motor neurone disease (MND). ‘Everyone with MND should be able to access speech and language therapy and the range of communication equipment technology which is out there. No one should die without a voice.’ Figures show at least two out of five MND patients wait more than six weeks to get the communication equipment they need, which can range from simple alphabet charts and speech therapy to high-tech support such as text-to-speech devices, eye gaze systems and voice-banking. Between 80-95 per cent of people living with MND experience some loss of speech before they die. The weakening of muscles in lip and tongue, vocal chords and chest contribute to deterioration in the ability to speak and swallow. Up to 5,000 people are living with MND at any time but 30 per cent die within a year of diagnosis, and over 50 per cent within two years. The scientist, whose inspiring story is the subject of the Oscar-winning biopic The Theory of Everything for which Eddie Redmayne won an Oscar, lost the ability to speak in 1985 . The rapidly progressive nature of the disease can result in patients dying even while waiting for the initial assessment of their needs. Currently the NHS funds communication aids for fewer than half the people with MND who need them, according to an investigation by MPs from the All Party Parliamentary Group on MND. As part of the 2012 NHS reforms, the Coalition Government identified that NHS England had a duty to provide communications support and equipment for people living with MND. However, the change to specialised commissioning in 2013 which should result in high- quality services across the country has resulted in catastrophic failure for people with MND, said Karen Pearce from the MND Association. She said: ‘People with motor neurone disease are having grave problems accessing the funding that is meant to be available for communication

Summary: Physicist Hawking, who sufferers the disease, lost ability to speak in 1985 . Said it was 'one of the most frightening and isolating' aspects of illness . Campaigners fear many patients die before getting the help they need . Many wait months for communication equipment, relying on family to interpret their needs, but others die first . Vital equipment includes alphabet charts, speech therapy as well as high-tech speech devices, eye gaze systems and voice-banking . 5,000 people are living with the disease - 30% die within year of diagnosis .


It's not all in the stars for guests when it comes to comparing the best hotels around Europe. While five stars seems like a fairly straight-forward measurement, hotel and resort ratings aren't all created equal as there is no uniform ratings system to keep it simple for tourists. According to research by Hotels4u.com, 71 per cent of us don't realise that a five-star hotel in Spain can differ significantly to one in Great Britain, Turkey or Italy. The exclusive Goring Hotel must live up to demanding standards of service to be a British five-star hotel . France's ratings system was put together by the tourism department and enforced by the Government, and five-star hotels such as Marseille's Le Petit Nice Passedat must live up to specific exacting standards . At British five-stars, guests being welcomed on arrival is among their many criteria for qualification . Each country has its own way to rank hotels from one-star to five and beyond, all with their own set of priorities and standards established by a range of authorities from local tourism bodies to government. In Great Britain, star ratings focus heavily on customer service, with a hotel not qualifying as a five-star without a greeting at the entrance and multilingual staff, along with a high quality food and wine menu and many other factors. While British standards are agreed by the AA (Automobile Association), VisitBritain, VisitScotland and VisitWales, France's exacting standards on what makes a five-star hotel - based on rooms, lobbies, services and amenities - were decided by their tourism authority and are enforced by the French Government. A long list of criteria for a five-star hotel in France, such as the Hotel du Louvre in Paris, includes staff speaking English and one other foreign language, valet parking, multiple pools and kids clubs . Standards for Spanish hotels, such as the Hotel Gran Melia Volcan lanzarote, are regulated regionally . Along with opulent interiors, Spain's Hotel Alfonso XIII must have a 24-hour concierge service to be five-star . IN SPAIN . Must offer the highest luxury . Specially adapted rooms for wheelchair users and will often provide extra facilities . 24-hour reception and 24-hour concierge . Award-winning on-site dining facilities . Rooms cleaned daily, including fresh towels and bed linen, and a trouser press . IN FRANCE . Immaculate settings . Staff speak English and one other language . Multiple pools, fitness centre, health and spa centres and kids clubs . 24-hour room service . Satellite television with a good range of channels . IN GREAT BRITAIN . Guests are greeted at the hotel entrance . High quality menu and wine list . Licensed bar or lounge . Service with attention to detail and quality . Formal reception and porters' desks with uniformed staff offering proactive service . Extensive range of facilities, including leisure, retail and conference services. IN ITALY . Offer at least three foreign language capabilities . Single rooms at least nine square meters and double at least 16 square meters . An elevator . Bed sheet and towels changed daily .

Summary: 71 per cent of people don't realise there is no uniform hotel rating system . Each country has its own way of deciding what makes a five-star hotel . All nations in Europe have their own criteria for classifying hotels . While Great Britain focuses on service, Italy concentrates on cleanliness .

Tory minister Hugo Swire has been filmed cracking jokes about benefit claimants . Tory minister Hugo Swire has been filmed cracking jokes about benefit claimants at a glamorous party fundraiser. The foreign office minister hosted an auction at the dinner at which donors bid for high-value items – and suggested even those living on welfare could afford to pay £60,000. Mr Swire was the star turn at the secretive Black and White Ball, at which ministers and senior MPs mingle with financiers, industry bosses and other donors to raise money for the General Election. Covert filming of the event has shown Mr Swire - a former director of Sotheby’s - acting as the auctioneer, selling lots including a shoe shopping session with Theresa May, and dinner with Boris Johnson. While bidding is underway for one item, he is heard trying to persuade a guest, who is sitting on the table of Work and Pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith, to increase his bid. ‘£60,000?’, he says. ‘Ian, persuade him. He’s not on benefits is he? Well if he is then he can afford it.’ He then goes lower, suggesting ‘£55,000?’ At another point in the auction, he comments on the expensive cars the guests are driving. ‘It’s quite naff to have Bentley’s and Rolls Royce and Ferraris because anybody could have them’, he says. And in a reference to the lifestyle of MPs before the 2009 expenses scandal, he said: ‘In the good old days of MP’s expenses we could have them too, but we don’t anymore’. His comments will embarrass the party, after ministers have repeatedly said that the drive to cut welfare has meant ‘difficult decisions’. Unemployment benefit is worth up to £72.40 a week. Old Etonian Mr Swire was elected the MP for East Devon in 2001. He is related to the Swire Group trading dynasty in Hong Kong. During the expenses scandal he was found to have claimed £395 for a laptop bag from the designer brand Mulberry, which he repaid. The footage provides the first public view inside the Ball at the Grosvenor House Hotel – for which donors have paid between £500 and £1,500 a ticket. It was obtained by Paul Wilmott, a hedge fund boss who joined all three major political parties offering a £50,000 donation, in order to highlight the issue of cash for access to politicians for Channel’s 4’s Dispatches programme shown last night. The table plan this year was kept a closely-guarded secret but Mr Willmott, who sat with Welsh secretary Stephen Crabb, said Mr Cameron was on a table with hedge fund manager Andrew Law, City broker Michael Spencer and Ann Summers tycoon Jacqueline Gold. The final bids for the auction items and who bought them is not made public after the dinner, although all donations over £7,500 are properly declared to the Electoral Commission. Hugo Swire was the star turn at the secretive Black and White Ball, at which ministers and senior MPs mingle with financiers, industry bosses and other donors to raise money for the General Election .

IT consultant-turned-travel blogger, Tom Ayzenberg, sure knows a thing or two when it comes to packing lightly. In this viral video, which has been viewed over eight million times, the Birmingham, Michigan native, demonstrates a bundled wrapping method of packing - otherwise known as 'clown car style'. 'I'm going to pack all this stuff into this bag,' he says at the beginning of the video, displaying a month's worth of jeans, shorts, and t-shirts alongside a small backpack-like carry-on bag. IT consultant-turned-travel blogger, Tom Ayzenberg, demonstrates his bundle wrapping packing method . The 28-year-old explains that he had learned this particular packing hack from his mother. Since the video first was uploaded, Ayzenberg has since gone on to become a successful travel blogger with his site, 'I'm Flying Around the Country.' To replicate Tom's space-saving method, first lay all of your clothes out flat, with trouser legs and shirt arms hanging out of the bag. Then, fold them on top of one another, tucking them in as you go. His minute-and-a-half long video has been viewed over eight million times on YouTube . To replicate Tom's space-saving method, first lay all your clothes out flat with trouser legs hanging out . Then, fold them on top of each other, tightly packing them in as you go to ensure that they won't wrinkle . Want even more space-saving inspiration? We talked to A Lady in London travel blogger, Julie Falconer, to get her in-the-know secrets: . 1. Rolling clothes is key to saving space. 2. Opt for travel sizes of your favourite toiletries. 3.

Little Amie Rose suffers from a rare blood disease - and as a result, has already undergone 60 blood transfusions at the age of just five. The youngster has Diamond Blackfan Anaemia and to treat the condition, she has to go into hospital every four weeks for a blood transfusion. The disorder, which means her body cannot produce red blood cells, is so rare it affects only around 125 people in the country. Amie Rose (pictured right receiving one of her regular blood transfusions in September 2013) has Diamond Blackfan Anaemia, which means her body cannot produce red blood cells . When she was born, Amie had a slight heart murmur, but doctors told her mother Jo, from Horley, Surrey, that it should go away in six weeks. Mrs Rose, 44, said: 'When I took Amie back for her check-up they said she looked a bit pale and they decided to take her in for a blood test. 'The results came back and the doctors said she had to have an emergency blood transfusion as there were not enough red blood cells in her body. 'We were then transferred to Great Ormond's Street hospital to have a bone marrow biopsy and told that Amie would have to have regular blood transfusions.' Amie (pictured with mother Jo and father Gordon) has to go into hospital every four weeks for a transfusion . Amie (pictured at seven weeks) was given an emergency transfusion after doctors decided to take a blood test during a check-up because she looked pale. She then had a bone marrow biopsy . But just a couple of days after being sent home, Amie stopped breathing and her parents took her back to hospital. Doctors were able to stabilise Amie's iron levels but she had to have an emergency operation to insert a port running from her jugular vein into her heart. 'Amie stopped breathing and we had to rush her back into hospital where they starved her and put back on a milk formula,' her mother added. 'We were so scared of what might happen to her but we just wanted Amie to survive.' Every week Amie has to get a nurse to attach a tube with a pump at the bottom to remove the excess iron from her blood. The pump stays attached to the port six days a week.. These pictures show the effects of steroid treatment to treat the rare blood disorder on Amie in October 2011 . Amie's father Gordon, 53, said: 'The port restricts Amie from doing any contact sport and we have to be careful when we pick her up as we could knock the needle in her port. 'The pump is essential for Amie as too much iron in the blood can be fatal and can cause major organ failures. 'Just before her fourth birthday, Amie's port blocked and we were rushed into hospital otherwise it could cause pressure on the jugular. 'Surgeons had to remove the port from her left hand side and insert it on the opposite side. 'We have to

A man has been jailed for one year after stuffing his girlfriend in a suitcase and covering her mouth with a cloth when she dumped him, according to the People's Daily Online. The man, known only as Wang, tied up girlfriend Mu when she broke up with him at a hotel in the city of Xi'an in central China last June. He then bundled her into a wheelie black suitcase, before paying drivers to take him back to his home in the city of Shenyang in Liaoning province. But he was caught when the driver heard Mu's muffled cries from inside the suitcase and contacted the police. Scroll down for video . CCTV footage showed Wang wheeling his girlfriend, stuffed in this black suitcase, out of the hotel in Xi'an . Wang promised his girlfriend he would 'treat her nicely' when they returned to his home city of Shenyang . Wang had been dating his girlfriend for more than two years when he asked her to relocate to his home town of Shenyang. He had promised his girlfriend he would 'treat her nicely' when they arrived and that he would hire a housekeeper. But when she rejected his advances, he hatched a plan to force her back to his home city. Wang said: 'When I tied her up, I told her "I don't want to do this but after this small discomfort, when we arrive back home, I will use the rest of my life to treat you well. I will employ a helper so you can live happily." It was on June 15 last year when Wang tied up his girlfriend and crammed her 5ft 3in frame into the suitcase. When he had wheeled her to the front of the hotel, he told the driver to head to his home city after paying him 5,000 yuan (£542). But he was exposed when the driver heard his girlfriend's cries inside the case. Wang was arrested and taken into custody when the car reached Shenyang later that day. Wang was seen entering the hotel with Mu around 10am - five hours later he crammed her in a suitcase . Wang was filmed looking nervous as he exited the hotel trailing the heavy black suitcase behind him . Following his arrest, police discovered CCTV footage showing him and his girlfriend walking upstairs in the hotel following their alleged argument. The pair, who were walking metres apart from each other, could then be seen entering their hotel room just after 10am. But around 3pm, Wang was filmed looking nervous as he left their hotel room carrying a small bag, as well as a suitcase containing his girlfriend. He could then be seen straining as he dragged the suitcase down the corridor and out of the hotel's front doors. In an interview with police, Wang said he and Mu were a couple, but confirmed that Mu had wanted to break up. The Xi'an New District People's Court said Wang had committed a serious crime of illegal detention, but after he confessed to his crime he was

Numerous coffees have been shared between Jamie Roberts and Johnny Sexton in the cafes of Paris but all cordialities will be pushed aside when Wales take on Ireland this weekend. Roberts describes Sexton, the Ireland No 10 and his Racing Metro team-mate, as an ‘angry man’ who has become one of the world’s finest players under the tutorship of Ronan O’Gara. Wales will be keeping close tabs on the fly-half on Saturday and Roberts is planning to use his inside knowledge to minimise the 29-year-old’s impact at the Millennium Stadium. Racing Metro's Jamie Roberts is adamant Wales can nullify the threat of club team-mate Johnny Sexton . ‘We are good mates in Paris and he’s a guy who demands high standards,’ said Roberts. ‘He’s an angry man. The first time I played with him — I remember it well — was on the Lions tour and he was shouting his head off at me and barking orders. It took me by surprise a bit. ‘He’s a bloody good player and a very clever thinker about the game. He’s got Ronan O’Gara as his mentor in Paris who is passing on a lot of information and helping him develop into a wonderful player. ‘He is the commander-in-chief of the Ireland team and a guy we need to stay one step ahead of.’ Ireland's Johnny Sexton has won his battle to be fit to face Wales in the RBS Six Nations on Saturday . Few have attracted such far-flung praise during this year’s RBS Six Nations as Sexton, who has overcome a hamstring injury and is expected to be named in Ireland’s starting XV at today’s team announcement. The Leinsterman has an all-round repertoire but his kicking has been particularly important within the gameplan of Ireland coach Joe Schmidt. Off the back of a dominant breakdown, Sexton was able to pin back England last week with his accurate footballing skills. It was aperfectly executed strategy and an afternoon that enhanced Schmidt’s reputation as one of the game’s most thorough tacticians. Ireland often rely on their choke-tackle routine in defence but the Kiwi coach neglected it against England to avoid scrummaging against a powerful pack. It could return on Saturday and Roberts is prepared for more tactical twists in Cardiff. Sexton was in fine form to inspire Ireland to a 19-9 win over England in Dublin last time out . ‘They are happy to put bombs up in our 22 if they have to,’ said Roberts. ‘They always come up with a trick or two, so we have to be prepared for that. You’ve seen them have a two- or three-phase set play where they bring their full back near a ruck after phase three or something like that. ‘There is usually a trick in there. Joe Schmidt is a clever coach; he is a guy who obviously thinks about the game a lot.’ Throughout the week, Warren Gatland and his Wales coaching staff have emphasised the importance of playing their own game. That means providing front-foot ball for strike-runners, rather than being kicked into

Summary: Ireland are still on course for a Six Nations Grand Slam . Wales host the reigning champions in Cardiff on Saturday . Racing Metro team-mates Johnny Sexton and Jamie Roberts will meet . Sexton has overcome a hamstring injury and is expected to start .


Janet Napolitano, the president of the University of California system and former U.S. Homeland Security secretary, publicly apologized Thursday for calling chants by students protesting tuition hikes 'crap,' a remark overheard on an open microphone at a board of regents meeting. Napolitano, also a former Arizona governor, opened a regents meeting by expressing contrition, a day after the university's recording of a Wednesday gathering captured her saying, 'We don't have to listen to this crap,' when she leaned over to the board chairman who had just activated his microphone. The comment came after several dozen students in the University of California system stripped off their shirts at Wednesday's meeting, tossed fake money in the air and stood on chairs chanting 'egregious, step off it, put people over profits'.

University of California Berkeley student Kristian Kim throws fake money while starting a protest during a UC Board of Regents meeting in San Francisc . Students were protesting tuition increases of up to five per cent in each of the next five years, what they say is a lack of support for black students at UC Berkeley and concern that a possible new campus in Richmond would displace low-income residents. The proposed increase would see next year's base cost for students rise from $12,192 up to $12,804 and to $15,564 by 2019. Napolitano apologized Thursday 'for using a word that she doesn't normally use, which was picked up on the mike', Dianne Klein, spokeswoman for the University of California Office of the President, said in an email. She added: '[Napolitano] suggested that many of us have been in similar situations where an inadvertent comment was overheard'. Klein said the time allotted for public comments had ended Wednesday when protesters interrupted. 'This went on for quite some time and when the participants ignored police instructions to end their protest, the board chair began following the established procedure to temporarily shut down the meeting,' Klein said. Napolitano's comment reflected her personal frustration with disruptions that hinder discussions on topics 'vital to the future of the university and the education of its students,' Klein said.
