A new two-part television show will offer a glimpse into the harsh reality of life for those living on Darndale, dubbed Ireland's toughest estate. The first episode of Benefits Estate airs tonight and viewers will see how some of the 600 residents of Darndale struggle to make ends meet on the estate where unemployment is high and drugs and crime rife. One of those appearing in the first episode is new mother Gemma Geraghty, who is struggling as she balances the demands of a newborn with decisions on whether to spend her benefits on lighting or food. Scroll down for video . Teenage mother Gemma Geraghty cradles baby Alfie on the first episode of Channel 5 show Benefits Estate . The 19-year-old faces a daily battle to make ends meet as she cares for her mum, Roseanne, and newborn son Alfie on the estate where teenagers ride horses bareback through the streets. 'I get 100 Euros a week, which is nothing really, not with a baby to care for,' says Gemma, who also shares the house with her brother, sister, two dogs and two cats. 'By the time I've bought things for him, there's not much left. 'Running the house entirely on benefits is a constant struggle. We haven't run out of heating yet. But every Monday and Wednesday the lights go out. New mother Gemma (centre) with her sister Rebecca, brother Anthony, baby Alfie and her friend James . The teenager is one of a number of residents who will be seen on Benefits Estate tonight on Channel 5. 'I got most of my baby's clothes off my sister whose own baby has just passed away and from nice people on Facebook,' said Gemma. 'And when I'm done with them I'm going to hand them over to whoever wants them.' One of the Gemma's two cats sits on top of the rubbish that is piling up because the family can't afford to have it collected . Her mother, Roseanne, cradling four-week-old baby Alfie, said she had been battling depression for a long time and rarely went out. 'On a bad day I won't get out of bed at all,' she said. In Ireland, families have to pay to get their waste removed, and as they haven't had any spare cash to do this, the rubbish has piled up, says Gemma. A mouse, which had been scurrying over the rubbish, is caught by one of the cats . 'The rubbish has got stuck in the drains and flooded the garden, so we can't do any washing,' said Gemma. 'I don't know what that rubbish carries, it's unhygienic!' Roseanne says she is embarrassed by the amount of litter in bin bags.' 'It's embarrassing for me and when you suffer from depression, things just get on top of you.' Two horses stand outside a house on Darndale . Single mother, Angelique, who has a young son, Brody, has spent her whole life on the estate and knows the alleyways well. 'As a kid if you wanted to be a bully, you would go in

England's top football clubs, all out of the Champions League before the quarter-finals, are concerned their chances of signing the next generation of stars are being hampered by the FA’s new regulations governing agents. The rules, which come into force next month after FIFA passed the buck on managing the middle men to national associations, include a ban on agents earning money for representing players under 18 years old. As a result, clubs fear there will no longer be a level playing field in the global hunt for young talent because the players’ representatives will want them to sign for teams in countries where the agents’ code is far more relaxed. Arsene Wenger vents his frustration on the sideline as Arsenal crash out of the Champions League . Lionel Messi (second left) was at his mesmerising best as Barcelona beat Manchester City on Wednesday . And English clubs, who will abide by the rules, have further worries on how these restrictions will be policed by the FA, with agents no longer needing a licence to operate. The competitive market in signing teenage prospects is shown by the Chelsea juniors who have just reached their fourth consecutive FA Youth Cup final. Among the class of 2015 are Jay Dasilva, plucked from Luton at 13, while Isaiah Brown, on the fringe of the first team, arrived from West Bromwich at 16. Isaiah Brown is on the fringe of the Chelsea first team having arrived from West Bromwich aged 16 . BT Sport’s rugby coverage has been recognised for its class by most of its pundits, presenters and commentators being plundered for the World Cup. ITV are taking on loan Brian O’Driscoll, Lawrence Dallaglio (right), Ben Kay, Ugo Monye, Craig Doyle, Sarra Elgan and Nick Mullins while BBC 5 Live have made temporary signings in Matt Dawson and Alastair Eykyn. After the fallout from England players’ bad behaviour on a Land Rover promotional day during the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand, it makes sense that none of the England backers have been given sponsorship days with the squad during the 2015 tournament. However, the RFU claim the team have behaved ‘impeccably’ on sponsorship duty since Stuart Lancaster took charge in 2012. The RFU claim England have behaved ‘impeccably’ on sponsorship duty since Stuart Lancaster took charge . UK Sport spent £46,272 on a survey by research company COMRES ‘reassuring’ the organisation their no-compromise approach to funding only Olympic medal contenders is overwhelmingly the right one. As predicted, the only real change is that participation numbers will now be taken into consideration in judging sports with equal medal chances. So basketball, whose loss of backing from UK Sport led to enough criticism of the no-compromise strategy for the survey to be commissioned, will continue to rely on special case hand-outs from Sport England to afford to participate in elite competition. At a time when the ECB need to get their PR act together, head of selectors James Whitaker chose not to front a print-media briefing when announcing the England Test squad for the West Indies.

Summary: English football's top clubs fear the FA's new regulations governing agents . Clubs fear there will no longer be a level playing field in hunt for talent . Agents are banned from earning money for representing players under 18 . Clubs fear players will move to countries where agents' code is relaxed .


Barcelona will have home advantage for its Copa del Rey final against Athletic Bilbao after Spain's football federation voted on Wednesday for the Nou Camp as the venue. Both finalists had originally asked to play the May 30 decider at Real Madrid's 81,000-seater Santiago Bernabeu stadium. The Nou Camp will host this year's Copa del Rey final between Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao on May 30 . However, the venue for Copa finals must be offered voluntarily and Madrid made no such offer. After two hours of talks failed to resolve the issue, the federation's executive committee took a vote from four stadium options: Barcelona, Bilbao, Valencia and Sevilla. The Camp Nou, with its maximum capacity of 98,700, was chosen ahead of Bilbao's 53,300-capacity San Mames stadium in the final round of voting. Both finalists wanted to play at the Santiago Bernabeu - but Real Madrid never volunteered their venue .

Summary: Barcelona face Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final on May 30 . Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu was the original choice of both sides . Bilbao, Valencia and Sevilla were considered as other venues .


A predator armed with six long claws prowled the seas more than 500 million years ago and was among the ancestors of modern insects, spiders and lobsters, scientists have found. The lobster-like Yawunik kootenayi had four eyes and long whip-like antennae that extended from the tips of its claws. Four of the claws also bore opposing rows of teeth that helped the creature catch its prey in the prehistoric seas of the Cambrian period. Scroll down for video . Yawunik kootenayi, shown in the reconstruction above, lived in the ocean 508 million years ago. The lobster-like creature had four eyes and long whip-like antennae that extended from the tips of its claws . A fossil of the strange looking creature was discovered in Marble Canyon at the north end of Kootenay National Park in the Canadian Rockies. Palaeontologists say the species was probably one of the first predatory arthropods to roam the planet - a group that later evolved into spiders, lobsters and insects. A crocodile-like amphibian that was the size of a small car dominated prehistoric lakes more than 200 million years ago, a new study has found. Palaeontologists discovered the fossilised remains of the 'super salamander' while excavating on the site of an ancient lake in southern Portugal. The predator, which grew to be around two metres (6.5 ft) in length and lived in lakes and rivers during the Late Triassic Period, has been named Metoposaurus algarvensis. With a mouth filled with sharp needle-like teeth it is thought to have preyed upon fish but could also have snapped up any small early dinosaurs that got to close to the water. The predatory creature, which like all arthropods had an external skeleton or exoskeleton, is thought to have lived 508 million years ago. Cedric Aria, a evolutionary biologist at the University of Toronto who was part of the team that discovered the species, said: 'This creature is expanding our perspective on the anatomy and predatory habits of the first arthropods, the group to which spiders and lobsters belong. 'It has the signature features of an arthropod with its external skeleton, segmented body and jointed appendages, but lacks certain advanced traits present in groups that survived until the present day. 'We say that it belongs to the 'stem' of arthropods.' The researchers, whose study is published in the journal Palaeontology, describe how Yawunik has many primitive features that resemble those that later evolved in insects and crustaceans. It has long frontal appendages that resemble the antennae of modern beetles or shrimp, but in Yawunik these were actually each comprised of three long claws. The fossil of Yawunik (above) was discovered in Marble Canyon at the north end of Kootenay National Park in the Canadian Rockies. It was examined using scanning electron microscope to help reveal its tiny details . The image above shows the fossil of Yawunik kootenayi in slate just after it had been excavated by scientists. On the end of each claw were long flagella that the scientists believe helped the creature sense the environment around it .Two of the

Fossil belongs to a group that gave rise to spiders, insects and lobsters . Scientists say it had two front appendages with three long claws on each .


A father accidentally knocked down and killed his toddler daughter outside their home after being distracted by the family dog, an inquest has heard. Sixteen-month-old Angel Pitts tragically died when she wandered in front of the family car outside her home in Leeds, West Yorkshire, last June. An inquest into her death heard how father, Scott Pitts, 36, was calling his partner to fetch the family's Jack Russell from the road when the accident happened. Angel Pitts was tragically knocked down and killed when her father accidentally drove into her last summer . The little girl - who had only just learned to walk - was found underneath the family's Toyota Avensis by her devastated father. He initially thought he had hit one of children's garden toys left on the drive, the hearing was told. Sergeant Carl Quinn, from West Yorkshire Police's Collision Investigation Unit, told the coroner: 'Scott got into his vehicle to go and collect a DVD for the family to watch later that evening. 'Angel was in the house watching TV. He went forward when the dog followed him out of the gate. He called to Megin to fetch it inside. Angel had apparently left the house unseen by anyone. 'She walked into the road to the near side of the vehicle within the path of the turning car - she was struck by the near side front wheel resulting in a knock to the ground and injuries to her head. 'Scott realised he had impacted with something which he thought was one of the children's toys. As he looked he found Angel underneath the car by the front wheels.' Mr Pitts' partner Megin Darch told police in interview: 'Scott shouted at me to pick up the dog as he didn't want to run it over so I went out to pick it up. It always runs in the road. 'Shortly after I heard a scream. He was screaming 'help me, help me'.' Mr Pitts thought his daughter was inside the family home in Leeds, West Yorkshire at the time of the accident . Mourners at Angel's funeral wore animal onesies and pink clothes in memory of the 16-month-old . Neighbour Craig Holmes said he heard a man screaming for help from across the road and looked out to see Scott carrying the little girl as his partner Megin Darch rushed out and wailed. Recording a verdict of accidental death, Assistant Coroner Jonathan Leach said he was satisfied Scott Pitts had not been able to see the youngster in front of the car. In a statement read to the Leeds court, Ms Darch said: 'Angel was tragically killed in a terrible accident. She was very happy at home, she would bounce up and down on her trampoline. 'Angel was very clingy with me. She was a very good girl, good-natured and ate well. She was no trouble at all and got on well with all the family and her brother. 'Scott has been very affected - he says he is okay but I don't think that he is. I've

Summary: Little girl had just learned to walk before the accident in Leeds last June . Father thought she was inside the family home and was distracted by dog . He thought he'd hit a children's garden toy when he bumped into daughter . Coroner finds the father would not have been able to see the little girl . Partner says the tragedy has had huge impact on their relationship .


The family of black teenager Tony Robinson, who was shot and killed by a white police officer on Friday, have demanded justice in the wake of his tragic death, while court documents have revealed the health problems he was experiencing. A report by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections suggests the 19-year-old was an impulsive risk-taker who had ADD and experienced anxiety and depression. It stated the teenager also faced a choice between a middle-class lifestyle and that of a gangster after being exposed to a 'chaotic' family situation. The revelations were announced as close to 2,000 students marched in Wisconsin's capital to protest the fatal police shooting, while the police chief apologized. Students crowded into the rotunda of the state Capitol in the morning, chanting, waving signs and demanding justice. Scroll down for videos . Demanding justice: Demonstrators protest the shooting of Tony Robinson at the state Capitol in Wisconsin on Monday. The 19-year-old was gunned down by a white police officer in Madison on Friday . Symbolic: Students held up signs saying 'Hands Up, Don't Shoot' and raised their hands into the air as they stood on the rotunda of the building . Deadly incident: Robinson, 19, was shot by officer Matt Kenny at an apartment in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday evening. The teenager's family have demanded that a full investigation be launched into his death . Madison police officer Matt Kenny shot Robinson on Friday evening while investigating a call that the young man was jumping in and out of traffic and had assaulted someone. Turin Carter, Robinson's uncle, said his family was calling for a thorough investigation and was concerned about the 'systematic targeting of young black males,' but did not endorse blanket anti-police sentiments. 'We are not proponents of anti-police (attitudes)... We understand that law enforcement is necessary and mandatory and we need to change our mindset about the police,' Carter said at a news conference outside the house where Robinson was shot. Standing near a memorial of candles and balloons, Carter said it was simplistic to call Robinson African American, saying he had a mixed heritage and his racial ambiguity was a central issue in his life. Many teenagers at the morning protests were from Robinson's alma mater, Sun Prairie High School. 'There is an indifference between people and police. We all need to come together,' said Ali Asafford, 15, after leaving class at Madison's East High School. The march was orderly and police presence was minimal. Plea: Turin Carter, Tony Robinson's uncle, tells the media there should be a thorough investigation into his nephew's death and is concerned about the 'systematic targeting of young black males, . Issues: Court documents revealed that Robinson suffered from mental health problems - such as anxiety and depression - and had a choice between a middle-class lifestyle and that of a gangster .

With nothing but her dog Garrick to her name, strong-willed servant Demelza convinced her master, Captain Poldark, to tie the knot after just one night of passion in the popular new BBC series. But research shows that marriage in the 18th century was actually a mercenary affair in the vast majority of cases which saw many men marry to get their hands on a woman's wealth. Anne Laurence, a historian with Open University, has found that pragmatic marriages made for the preservation or the transfer of wealth became more important during the Poldark era. Her study is based on around 400 marriage announcements in London newspapers when it was common to refer to a bride's wealth, according to The Observer. Scroll down for video . Strong-willed servant Demelza convinced her master, Captain Poldark, to tie the knot after just one night of passion in the popular new BBC series . The fortunes of the brides were routinely given either in thousands of pounds or described as 'large', 'ample', 'considerable' or 'handsome'. In almost two thirds of the announcements studied, the bride's fortune, ranged from £1,000 to more than £20,000. But the wealth of the grooms was rarely mentioned. Ms Laurence said: 'Mercenary marriages became the subject of much criticism, but it would seem that the zeitgeist was against the moralists. 'Western sensibilities react against the idea that marriage might be for reasons other than love of a partner and a desire to spend the rest of one's life with them. But research shows that marriage in the 18th century was actually a mercenary affair in the vast majority of cases, pictured is Aidan Turner as Captain Poldark and Eleanor Tomlinson as Demelza . The wealth of the grooms was rarely, if ever, mentioned in the 400 marriage announcements studied . 'We recognise no one has to get married to survive. At the same time, the very rich make prenuptial agreements and ever-larger divorce settlements make the news weekly. 'The preservation of a fortune concentrates the mind on pragmatic considerations.' She gave an example of one of the marriage announcement's which said: 'On Tuesday last Gilbert Burton, Esq; eldest son to George Burton, Esq; was married at Foot's Cray near Eltham in Kent, to Miss Craddock, only daughter to Mr Craddock, late an eminent goldsmith in Lombard Street, a beautiful young lady with a fortune of £10,000.' Her study is to be presented at the annual conference of the Economic History Society. A guide was published in 1742 to help men locate wealthy widows and spinsters. More than 400 wealthy woman were listed in 'A Master Key to the Rich Ladies Treasury: the Widower and Batchelor's Directory' including their reputed fortune and stock market investments. The anonymous author cast his net wide: several of the women were in their 70s and 80s.

Brides' fortunes were described as 'ample', 'considerable' or 'handsome' But the wealth of the grooms were rarely mentioned in the publications .


A Swedish football team has told of how they narrowly escaped death after a last-minute decision against booking their players on Germanwings Flight 4U9525. Four Lufthansa subsidiary flights left Barcelona around the same time on Tuesday morning and Division 1 team Dalkurd FF, from Borlänge, central Sweden, had players on three of them. The team had initially planned to travel on Flight 4U9525 to Düsseldorf, but instead split the team over the three remaining flights from Barcelona, via Germany. Scroll down for video . Swedish Division 1 team Dalkurd FF had initially planned to travel on Flight 4U9525 to Düsseldorf . When the Dalkurd FF delegation of 29 players and staff landed, they found out that the fourth flight had crashed, and the passengers next to them at check in a few hours earlier had died. All 144 passengers, including two babies and 16 teenagers from a German high school, and six crew members lost their lives. The Airbus A320 ploughed into the mountainside in a remote region of the French Alps en route from Spain to Germany at more than 400mph. 'We were supposed to have been on that flight. We checked in with all of the passengers. It's surreal,' Dalkurd FF's sports chief Adil Kizil told Aftonbladet. 'When we got to the airport in Barcelona there were four flights leaving that time, flying north over the Alps. All 144 passengers, including two babies, 16 teenagers and six crew members lost their lives . Video from the scene of the crash shows debris of the Germanwings Airbus A320 at the crash site . Crews in the first helicopter to reach the site said they had seen no survivors and found chunks of plane . 'Four flights and we had players on three of them. Let's just say we were very lucky.' Dalkurd FF, formed in 2004 by Kurdish immigrants, play in Sweden's Division 1, the third level of Swedish football. The team had been on a week-long training camp in Barcelona and were flying home. Mr Kizil told the newspaper how they had tried to fit the entire team on the Germanwings flight, but that the connection time in Düsseldorf to continue their journey home to Sweden was too long. Instead they split the team onto the three other flights, with one group flying via München and two others via Zürich. Mr Kizil said the players are still shocked, and that their thoughts are with the families of the victims. 'All the people on that plane were at the same check-in as us. We also flew with a subsidiary to Lufthansa, so everyone went to the same gates.' The Airbus A320 ploughed into the mountainside in a remote region of the French Alps en route from Spain .

Summary: Dalkurd FF from Sweden were supposed to have travelled on Flight 9525 . Connection time in Dusseldorf was too long, so the team split up . Four Lufthansa flights left around same time, Dalkurd were on three . The fourth flight crashed into the Alps, killing all 150 on board .

The world is finally in the grip of a long-awaited El Niño event that could alter global weather patterns - but the phenomenon is far weaker than expected. Scientists have announced that sea surface water temperatures have been warmer than average in the western and central Pacific Ocean and have started to alter wind patterns. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration now predicts that there is now a 50 to 60 per cent chance El Niño will continue through the summer. The US National Oceanic and Atmosopheric Administration has detected warmer than average water surface temperatures around the equator of the Pacific Ocean (shown above) which indicates the arrival of El Niño . However, they say that the El Niño conditions are currently 'extremely weak' and come at a time of the year when the influence of El Niño on weather patterns usually declines. This means that while El Niño conditions normally brings wetter weather to the northern hemisphere in the summer, it is unlikely to be bring substantially more rainfall than this spring. El Niño is caused by a shift in the distribution of warm water in the Pacific Ocean around the equator. Usually the wind blows strongly from east to west, due to the rotation of the Earth, causing water to pile up in the western part of the Pacific. This pulls up colder water from the deep ocean in the eastern Pacific. However, in an El Niño, the winds pushing the water get weaker and cause the warmer water to shift back towards the east. This causes the eastern Pacific to get warmer. But as the ocean temperature is linked to the wind currents, this causes the winds to grow weaker still and so the ocean grows warmer, meaning the El Niño grows. This change in air and ocean currents around the equator can have a major impact on the weather patterns around the globe by creating pressure anomalies in the atmosphere. The NOAA said that it was unlikely the phenomenon would bring enough rain this spring to break the three-year record-breaking drought that is currently affecting California. Some meteorologists, however, have warned that this El Niño could combine with another slow movement of water temperature in the Pacific Ocean called the Pacific Decadal Osciallation (PDO). The PDO reached record levels in December last year and January this year, and should it stay strong, it may combine with El Niño to increase global temperatures. Mike Halpert, deputy director of NOAA's Climate Prediction Centre, said: 'Based on the persistent observations of above-average sea surface temperatures across the western and central equatorial Pacific Ocean and consistent pattern of sea level pressure, we can now say that El Niño is here. 'Many climate prediction models show this weak El Niño continuing into summer.' The arrival of this El Niño is considered to be late after scientists last year predicted they were expecting one last year, but the conditions failed to materialise. According to the Met Office El Niño conditions generally bring warmer temperatures to Europe during the Autumn and colder winter

Summary: US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declares warmer than average water in Pacific Ocean signal the arrival of El Niño conditions . They predict there is a 50%-60% chance El Niño will continue this summer . However this year's El Niño is currently far weaker than in previous events . Some meteorologists warn El Niño could combine with another 10 year ocean warming cycle to produce record global temperatures this year . Experts had expected El Niño to start last year but it did not materialise .


Gordon Brown was last night accused of having a 'perverted sense of reality' after claiming Britain would be like North Korea if it walked out of Europe. Tory frontbencher Matt Hancock said the former prime minister was in danger of losing 'heads and hearts' by likening the UK outside the EU to Kim Jong Un's pariah state. It came after Mr Brown made an impassioned plea for Britain to stay in the EU in what could be his last House of Commons speech yesterday evening. Tory frontbencher Matt Hancock said the former prime minister Gordon Brown was in danger of losing 'heads and hearts' by likening the UK outside the EU to Kim Jong Un's pariah state . The former PM had earlier claimed leaving Europe would leave the UK 'out in the cold with few friends' and 'no influence' like North Korea. But replying for the Government in the debate, Mr Hancock told the Labour giant: 'Our country has been turned around and is being turned but our country will prosper whatever the institutional relationship with Europe. 'We are a brilliant country with the most enterprising and innovative people in the world, and it ill behoves anyone - least of all (Mr Brown) - to compare Britain's future to a brutal dictatorship like North Korea. 'And comparing Britain to North Korea shows a perverted sense of reality, and indeed you lose heads and hearts when you make such as comparison.' Mr Brown had made the claim in a newspaper article published before last night's debate. In the Commons Mr Brown claimed that Tory Eurosceptics and Ukip have instigated a 'culture war' urging disaffected Britons to blame foreigners for economic problems and so turning people against Europe. The former prime minister railed against those on the right who have sought to address voters' concerns about globalisation by creating a 'siege mentality' that pits Britain against the continent, portraying support for Europe as unpatriotic. In what is likely to be his Commons swansong, the Labour giant said the only way progressives can win the 'culture war' to keep Britain in the European Union is by winning hearts as well as minds.

Instead those who want to remain in the EU must passionately affirm that 'Britain is not Britain' unless it plays a leading role in shaping Europe, as it has for centuries - 'championing toleration, liberty and social responsibility' before any other country.

Vern Cotter fears Alex Dunbar’s season-ending injury may also rule the star centre out of Scotland’s World Cup campaign. The Glasgow Warriors back suffered a major blow ahead of Saturday's Six Nations clash at Twickenham when he damaged the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during Thursday morning’s training session. The SRU confirmed that he is ‘out for the rest of the season’ but, speaking before the result of scans on Dunbar’s freak injury were released, Cotter said ACL damage could mean up to six months on the sidelines and remove the 24-year-old from his World Cup plans. Alex Dunbar faces a race against time to be fit for the Rugby World Cup after injuring his knee at training . Scotland coach Vern Cotter fears Dunbar may not recover in time for the World Cup, starting in September . How England and Scotland will line up for Saturday's Calcutta Cup clash . Visibly shaken by an incident that happened just a few hours before the team flew to London, Cotter now hopes his squad will be galvanised in the face of fresh adversity for Saturday's Calcutta Cup clash. Explaining that Dunbar had been a key figure in his starting XV, Cotter said: ‘We had named Alex to start at centre but he has perhaps done his ACL this morning. ‘Alex did it on his own. A change of direction and his knee went out from underneath him. If it’s the ACL, that would be the World Cup as well. That’s not good. ‘We’ll miss him in attack and defence. He’s one of our best line breakers and has been playing very well up to now. ‘He is with some competent surgeons at the moment, he’s getting scanned. He’s understandably very upset about it. ‘We’ve seen guys come back from an ACL before, so it’s just about when we get him back. But, if it’s the ACL, he’ll be six months. ‘He was getting tested this morning. I went to see him during a break in training and he’s been whisked off with the pros. I will obviously talk to him again.’ Dunbar, here showing his disappointment after Scotland's loss to Wales, awaits results of scans on his knee . Matt Scott has now taken Dunbar’s slot for the England game. ‘It’s an opportunity for Matt Scott, who was initially named on the bench,’ said Cotter. ‘You saw his two tries for Edinburgh last weekend, he is ready to step up. We’ve got an able replacement who has played well recently. ‘We would dearly love to have Alex starting and then have someone like Matt come in and keep pace, bring physical intensity and presence to the game. But Matt has stepped straight in, and it means we’ll have to juggle the bench if we get injuries. ‘I think it has tightened the group up – and that will be important when we play this weekend. We are playing what is probably one of the best teams in the world as they are preparing for the World Cup. The group adapts and

A former ISIS captive has described how the extremists enjoyed watching Teletubbies and Game of Thrones to relax and sometimes struggled to justify their barbaric acts. French former captive Nicolas Henin has said they watched 'everything' on TV, and also claimed they were 'fragile people' who could not turn back after initially committing violent crimes. Mr Henin, aged 39, and fellow captive Pierre Torres, 30, were kidnapped in Raqqa, Syria in June 2013 and released 10 months later. French journalists Nicholas Hénin (left) and Pierre Torres (right) spent time with Briton David Haines as ISIS captives . When it came to time off from waging jihad, Henin said in an interview with the BBC placed on the Spiegel website in Germany: 'They watched everything, from Teletubbies to Game of Thrones. 'The recruits are fragile people - once pushed to commit a crime when they arrive there is no way they can turn back.' He refused to talk specifically about Kuwaiti-born Briton Mohammed Emwazi on the grounds that fellow prisoner, British journalist John Cantlie, is still held hostage by the group. He added that he and fellow released captive Mr Torres played a game at night devised by doomed Briton David Haines. Haines was beheaded on camera by the Islamic executioner now revealed to be Kuwaiti-born Briton Mohammed Emwazi. A Russian engineer, Sergey Gorbunov, who was killed during Henin's time there, was remembered in a small ceremony by the rest of the prisoners, he says. French former captive Nicolas Henin said his ISIS captors watched 'everything' on TV, and also claimed they were 'fragile people' who could not turn back after initially committing violent crimes . 'Everyone paid tribute to him. John Cantlie spoke first and then we held a minute's silence.' Talking to some of his captors during his 10 months as a hostage, he says he saw flickers of doubt 'and a lot of bad faith, because they had to justify it to themselves, and some of their acts were impossible to justify'. 'I remember with a couple of the captors, we had discussions that showed their convictions were a bit fragile and that they maybe even had regrets about what they were doing. 'A bit of chat might help, but no pity for sure because they are totally closed to pity. 'Asking for pity is the worst thing you can do. It's stupid. Never try it.' Henin was interviewed upon the publication of a children's book he wrote in captivity with Torres based on the game devised by Haines. The book, Will Daddy Hedgehog Ever Come Home?, was written for Henin's five-year-old daughter, and is published this week.

Summary: Former ISIS captive Nicolas Henin said jihaidi captors watched TV to relax . This included shows ranging from Game of Thrones to the Teletubbies . He also said many jihadis were 'fragile' and struggled to justify their acts . Mr Henin and another released captive have now written a children's book . The story is based on a game played by doomed Briton David Haines .


In the one and a half years they have been married Andrew and Erica Holloway have never argued, have no secrets and are more in love today than the moment they met. Yet incredibly this Melbourne-based couple, both aged 30, have never consummated their marriage - and Erica admits that she has no intention of ever doing so. For while Andrew would love to rip his wife's clothes off, Erica is in fact still a virgin and reveals to the Daily Mail Online that the very idea of making love to her husband is a complete turn off rather than a turn on. Unique arrangement: Erica and Andrew Holloway have been married since October 2012 but have never had sex because Erica is 'repulsed' by the idea . 'I wish I wanted to have sex with my husband,' Erica, a graphic designer, explains. 'But I don't and I know I never will as, while I love him, the idea of sex repulses me. 'We are still very affectionate with each other and love to hold hands and kiss and cuddle, but that's as far as I could ever go. 'People might think our marriage would be a disaster because of this, but we are as happy now as the day we met.' Erica has known since the tender age of 15 that she was asexual - after realizing that she had never felt sexually attracted to anyone. And despite trying to force herself to feel some kind of sexual desire towards a few men in her late teens, she admits that she failed to ever feel the kind of connection that so many of her peers seemed to experience . At this point, Erica had almost given up on ever finding love, as, perhaps unsurprisingly, most men she met ran a mile when she told them about her total aversion to sex. 'It was such a frustrating period of my life as I knew I was different, I just didn't know why,' she recalls. 'All my friends were experimenting with boyfriends, yet when I even kissed a boy, it just left me cold. 'I still wanted the companionship you get from a partner, I just didn't want the sex side and I worried I would never ever find anyone who would be prepared to love and accept me the way I am.' But in 2002, Erica's world changed when she met Andrew, while the pair were both living in Melbourne. She admits that she felt as though she had finally met a man who did love her just the way she was. And after first living as housemates, the pair became an official couple in 2009 after Andrew moved to Canada and the duo realized that they couldn't bear to be apart from one another. They were married on October 27th 2012. Happy couple: Erica, pictured with Andrew on their wedding day in 2012, allows her husband to sleep with other women, including professional escorts . True love: Erica and Andrew became a couple in 2009, after seven years of friendship blossomed

Summary: Erica Holloway, 30, has known that she was asexual since the age of 15 . She and husband Andrew, 30, have been married since 2012 but have never had sex . IT consultant Andrew has slept with ten other women, including a number of professional escorts, since he married Erica .

Radamel Falcao's time at Manchester United seems set to be curtailed at the end of the season after a faltering year from the Colombia international. The 29-year-old striker has only hit the net four times in a barren season so far at Old Trafford. He was seen heading to a restaurant for lunch in Manchester on Wednesday, taking time away from his side's preparations to play Liverpool on Sunday by enjoying some food in his adopted city. Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao was spotted heading to lunch in the city on Wednesday . Falcao (left) was used as an 83rd minute substitute in United's 3-0 win over Tottenham last weekend . Striker Falcao has predominantly been used as a substitute during a difficult year at Old Trafford . Falcao arrived in Manchester on a deadline day loan deal, with United having the option to make the move permanent for £43million at the end of the season. But the attacker's role at United has diminished as the season has progressed, with manager Louis van Gaal notoriously electing not to bring him off the substitutes bench in the 2-1 FA Cup quarter-final defeat at home to Arsenal. His team currently occupy the fourth and final Champions League position in the Premier League but face an examination of their credentials when they play Liverpool on Sunday. Liverpool are only two points behind United in the Premier League table and can usurp United and move fourth with a victory.

The documentary is presented by Ian Dunn (pictured) one of the founders of the reviled Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) BBC bosses have sparked outrage by broadcasting a historic film presented by a notorious child sex campaigner – and have refused requests to remove it from the internet. The documentary is presented by Ian Dunn, one of the founders of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE), which campaigned to legalise sex with children. It is one of 30 archive films on the BBC’s website telling the history of the gay rights movement. The 30-minute documentary – Glad To Be Gay? – portrays Dunn as a legitimate gay rights activist and makes no reference to his role in setting up the reviled group. Victims of child abuse described as ‘horrifying’ the decision to upload the film. When The Mail on Sunday contacted the BBC to point out the documentary was causing offence, the broadcaster refused to take it down – on the grounds that it is a ‘significant’ work on the history of gay rights. The documentary, first shown on the BBC in 1976, shows the lives of gay people at a time when homosexuality was still illegal in Scotland, and featured interviews with future Foreign Secretaries Robin Cook and Malcolm Rifkind. It was an episode of a public access TV series called Open Door, and the BBC website states it was made by the Scottish Minorities Group and credits Ian Dunn as a presenter. Dunn, who died in 1998, is shown describing the work of the group in Edinburgh, while Mr Cook and Mr Rifkind were interviewed about their opinions on gay rights. The footage includes Dunn calling for the age of consent to be lowered, stating: ‘We think a boy considered old enough to take responsibility of bringing up a family is surely old enough to make up his own mind.’ But there is no mention in either the original documentary or on the BBC website of Dunn’s role in campaigning for adults to be allowed to have sex with children. When MoS contacted the BBC (headquarters pictured) to point out the documentary was causing offence, the broadcaster refused to take it down – on the grounds that it is a ‘significant’ work on the history of gay rights . In October 1974, Dunn had co-founded PIE as an offshoot of SMG, and wrote that its goals were to campaign ‘for the legal and social acceptance of paedophilic love’. Last night representatives of victims of child abuse said the BBC’s decision was at odds with refusing to show repeats of Top Of The Pops featuring disgraced DJs Jimmy Savile and Dave Lee Travis. Catherine Allen, of sexual abuse victims’ charity One In Four, said: ‘This is horrifying and shows complete contempt for those who suffered at the hands of Ian Dunn and other members of PIE. ‘I believed the BBC had learned lessons from the Savile saga but they still aren’t taking sexual abuse seriously.’ Dr Jon Bird, of the National Association for People Abused in Childhood, called on the BBC to remove

There may still be more to come in the Darren Wilson case. Just days after the Department of Justice released the findings of their probe into the shooting of Michael Brown by Wilson, an officer with the Ferguson Police Department, a member of the Missouri grand jury that decided not to indict Wilson has filed a memorandum hoping to speak publicly about the case. And among other things, the juror claims that Robert McCulloch, the attorney who prosecuted the case, lied to the public. Scroll down for video . An individual filed papers on Friday claiming the prosecutor in the Darren Wilson case, Robert McCulloch (above), misled jurors and lied to the public . The juror says during the Wilson (above) case, McCulloch made it seem as throughout officer was right to shoot Michael Brown . The 21-page memorandum, filed ,on Friday, states that McCulloch was not truthful when during a press conference immediately following the decision he said that 'all grand jurors believed that there was no support for any charges.' This is just one of the reasons why the juror is asking to be able to speak out about the case. In Missouri, only nine of the twelve jurors are need to make the decision on whether or not to indict an individual. 'This case is about Doe’s First Amendment rights,' said the lawyer for the unnamed juror. 'The claim that a citizen with information on a matter of public concern should be permitted to challenge the government’s narrative without going to jail is a cognizable First Amendment claim.' The papers says McCulloch was not being truthful when he announced the jury all jurors decided not to indict Wilson for shooting Brown (above) The lawyer also noted; 'McCulloch speaks freely and purportedly openly about the very content about which Doe wishes to speak, just from a different viewpoint.' The juror is also claiming in these papers that McCulloch presented evidence over the course of the trial that suggested Brown was the aggressor and Wilson did nothing wrong and was simply acting in self-defense. 'McCulloch has given his view of the grand jurors’ thoughts. The twelve who know the answer are silenced by the challenged laws,' said the juror's attorney.

A Catholic high school has enraged hundreds of teenage girls by banning some types of dress from its prom, and demanding students send in pictures of their outfit for approval. Delone Catholic High School, a $5,000-a-year school in McSherrystown, Pennsylvania, started making the demands of its students this year. Authorities have declared war on short hems, cleavage, bare midriffs and nude-colored linings ahead of the May 1 prom. Banned: The above two dresses both violate the rules of Delone Catholic High School. The right-hand dress was deemed acceptable when a 'modesty piece' was added . Delone Catholic High School, a $5,000-a-year school in McSherrystown, Pennsylvania . Some girls say the guidelines were sprung on them by surprise, and have been forced to alter their gowns, or, worse still, been left with inappropriate garments that they can't take back, according to local station Fox 43. Simone Hostetter, who owns a local dress shop, told the channel that parents were being driven to despair by the policy, which could leave them more than $300 out of pocket. She said: 'They’re frantic, more so the parents have been really frantic, calling me with, "Please, please please would you exchange her dress it’s not allowed."' Naked controversy: 'Nude' linings, such as those on the dresses above, were deemed unacceptable at the school, and banned . Hostetter has changed her policy to allow returns in this case - and has started published pictures of her dresses on Facebook, spelling out which ones pass the school's modesty test, and which do not. The school insists the sartorial censorship is vital to preserving 'Catholic values and moral integrity' at the school. In a statement it said guidelines were spelled out in September, and the 'only change' from previous years is a requirement for girls to send in pictures for advance approval. They said the move was a preferable alternative to turning students away at the door. Allowed: These two dresses did pass the test of prom censors at the school. Students and parents are petitioning for the new rules to be dropped . Students and parents have expressed their outrage online, starting a Change.org petition aimed at swaying the principal. It calls the new standards 'antiquated and unreasonable', and complains that the prom is so soon that they have no time to act on the rule change. Writing underneath, student Cheyenne Altland said: 'I feel that my fashion choices for prom do not have any bearing on the strength of my Catholic Faith and my school can not tell me otherwise.'

Summary: Students at Delone Catholic High School were hit by new regime . $5,000-a-year school in McSherrystown, Pennsylvania, made the change . Nude linings, cleavage and midriff are banned to preserve 'moral integrity' Girls must submit photographs to school censors in advance . Parents complain they've been left with un-returnable, expensive dresses . School insists the rules were explained and agreed to in September .


When 50-year-old Consuela Ross went for a walk on the banks of Loch Ness with her daughter and granddaughter, she was simply hoping to photograph some of the stunning scenery. But now she is claiming to have witnessed the latest glimpse of the fabled monster that dwells in its depths as it came to the surface for air. However, despite having her camera in her hand she says she was too captivated to take a picture, and instead only managed to record the moment after the beast dived under the surface. Tourists taking pictures of Loch Ness swear they spotted the elusive monster that lurks in its depths, but were too mesmerised to photograph it, instead capturing the moment after it dived under (pictured) Consuela Ross, 50 (left), was visiting the Loch with daughter Reyshell Avellanoza, 29 (centre), and granddaughter Heather Elizabeth, five (right), when they made the sighting. Husband Campbell Ross, 74 (centre), was waiting in the car park at the time . A video taken at the time shows a mysterious circle of disturbed water spreading outwards from the centre of the lake, which Mrs Ross swears was occupied by the beast moments earlier. Miss Ross was walking beside the lake with daughter Reyshell Avellanoza, 29, and granddaughter Heather Elizabeth, both from the Philippines, when the incident happened. The family had spent the day visiting nearby Urquhart Castle with Mrs Ross's husband, Campbell Ross, 73, when they decided to drive to the lake. Mr Ross stayed in the car while the others went to the water's edge, when Heather, who was seeing the Loch for the first time, pointed out a strange shape. Earlier this year Swedish monster-hunter Bjarne Sjöstrand, 52, won a £2,000 prize in a Nessie spotting competition after picking out a strange object on satellite images . Another sighting: International paranormal investigator, Jonathan Bright, took this photo three years ago, which he claims shows Nessie's head emerging from the Loch . Consuela told the Daily Record: 'She said it looked like a big black belly. We looked and could see this big disturbance quite a way out and this big black object in the middle of it. 'We were so mesmerised, we didn't immediately think of taking pictures although we had the cameras in our hands. 'By the time we realised what we were seeing and began filming and snapping away, the object had sank virtually out of sight and moved away further into the loch, leaving behind a perfect circle of water - like a whirlpool.' Earlier this year Swedish monster-hunter Bjarne Sjöstrand, 52, won a £2,000 prize in a Nessie spotting competition after picking out a strange object on satellite images. Mr Sjöstrand, who has never visited Scotland, won the best Loch Ness Monster sighting of 2014, in an annual competition run by bookmaker William Hill. In 2013, this shadowy form measuring around 100ft long and seemingly having two giant flippers powering it through the waters of Loch Ness was photographed by Apple's satellite map app. The image was studied by experts at the Official

He was livid, spinning towards Kevin Friend and telling the fourth official exactly why Diafra Sakho shouldn’t have been able to crash home the late winner. Dick Advocaat then grumpily crossed his arms in acceptance. Referees are going to get to know this man over the next two months. On his first public outing in England, Advocaat was nothing if not eccentric, incapable of remaining still for longer than a few seconds. His gesticulations were constant, nervous energy overt. Staying slumped in his cushy Upton Park dug out just wasn’t an option for the Sunderland coach. Keeping Sunderland up looks like being the pensioner’s toughest job in a long managerial career and — despite an understated entrance to the Premier League in which no photographer deemed it necessary to capture an image of him before kick-off — Advocaat felt the need to show those loyal band of travelling supporters in the Sir Trevor Brooking stand that he means business. Dick Advocaat was left disappointed as Sunderland fell to a 1-0 defeat at West Ham in his first game in charge . West Ham striker Diafra Sakho smashes in a late winner to give his side their first win in 13 league games . West Ham's Carlton Cole (centre) tussles with Sunderland's Patrick van Aanholt (left) and John O'Shea (right) The Dutchman may only have the job for nine matches but he is insistent on stamping his authority on a rag-tag squad who would not fight for previous incumbent Gus Poyet. The signs are positive for the struggling club and Advocaat must surely have left east London with a sense of satisfaction that his message has been heeded in a matter of days, even if his team failed to hold out. Advocaat is acutely aware that his body language resonates with those wearing the club’s colours before him. Even at 67, the basics still enthuse him. Jordi Gomez, normally little more than a luxury midfielder, was one shining example of the difference between Poyet and now. Sunderland playmaker Jordi Gomez (right) tussles for the ball with West Ham midfielder Alex Song (left) Advocaat controversially included Sunderland winger Adam Johnson among his substitutes at Upton Park . Johnson, who is currently on bail from sexual assault charges, was met by a chorus of boos from the crowd . Advocaat almost leapt in celebration when Gomez left his central station to shut down Aaron Cresswell during what appeared an innocuous patch of play. For him, that epitomised tangible change amid the serious problems he inherited. First battle won. The second, of course, is finding someone who can actually stick the ball in the net. One goal in seven games, dating back to February 7, is laughably abysmal. So it was understandable that Advocaat opted for three up front in Connor Wickham, Steven Fletcher and Jermain Defoe. Less cautious than fellow countryman Louis van Gaal but every bit as passionate, he clasped his ears in frustration at Defoe’s galling, first-half miss. Advocaat looked as if he was living on the edge, a characteristic typified by introducing

Summary: Dick Advocaat lost his first game in charge of Sunderland 1-0 to West Ham . Advocaat has been appointed at Sunderland until the end of the season . The Dutchman is tasked with keeping the Black Cats in the Premier League . Despite the defeat, his attacking tactics and selection were positive .


Astronomers are counting down the days before a total solar eclipse appears over Earth. But the highly-anticipated show on March 20th can only be witnessed in full by those in northern Scandinavia and the Faroe Islands. Now scientists have come up with a plan for anyone to see a 360 degree view of the eclipse using GoPro cameras high above Earth's stratosphere. Scroll down for video . The highly-anticipated show on March 20th can only be witnessed in full by those in northern Scandinavia and the Faroe Islands. But now scientists have come up with a plan for anyone to see a 360 degree view of the eclipse using GoPro cameras high above Earth's stratosphere . 'Eclipses happen quite often. But this one’s different,' said project coordinater Annelie Schoenmaker. 'The moon’s shadow will sweep over the North Pole.' Ms Schoenmaker explained that seen from the North Pole, the moon's diameter will appear larger than the sun itself, blocking all direct sunlight and turning day into night. This means that the solar eclipse will take place just as the sun comes into view after six months of polar night. Her 'zero2infinity' group recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for the project. Their plan is to launch a balloon carrying GoPro cameras to record a 360 degree video of the eclipse from at least 31 miles (50km) above Earth. The Spanish group recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for the project. Their plan is to launch a balloon carrying GoPro cameras to record a 360 degree video of the eclipse from at least 31 miles (50km) above Earth . The path of totality for next month's eclipse will travel from just beneath the Greenland peninsula, heading north into the Arctic Circle. The left-hand animation shows the totality of the 1999 eclipse. The right-hand animation shows how the shadow created by the eclipse on 20 March will travel over Europe . Projection: Place a pinhole or small opening in a card, and hold it between the sun and a screen – giant sheet of white paper works – a few feet away. Filters: The sun can be viewed directly only when using filters specifically designed for this purpose. Such filters have a thin layer of aluminum, chromium or silver on the surfaces. Telescopes with solar filters: There are sun-specific telescopes available for sale - or perhaps through a local astronomy club - that are also safe for viewing a partial eclipse. On a mobile device: If the Indiegogo project is successful, you could stream a 360 degree, HD view of the eclipse onto a mobile device. On the ground, participants will get a live stream into their tablet or smart phone showing the stunning event. So far the Barcelona-based team have raised $3,000 dollars towards their goal to raise $28,000 with just 26 days left. The eclipse will see up to 84 per cent of the sun covered in London - and around 94 per cent in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Dr Steve Bell, head of the HM Nautical Almanac Office

Summary: Total solar eclipse set to take place over Europe on March 20 . Zero2infinity plans to launch a balloon from Barcelona on the day . It will have GoPros attached that will stream footage to mobile devices . It has launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for the project . London can expect 84% coverage with parts of Scotland reaching 94% . Total eclipse of the sun will occur in Northern Norway and Faroe Islands . Astronomers said there will not be another total eclipse until 2026 .


A former teacher and his girlfriend who streamed depraved sex sessions with an underage girl live on the internet have been cleared of pornography thanks to a legal loophole. William Hanna, 65, and Dianne Whitehouse, 59, were previously convicted of causing or inciting involvement in child pornography for their offences with a 'damaged' 15-year-old girl at a Birmingham hotel. Both were also convicted, and jailed, for sexual activity with the vulnerable teenager. Cleared of charge: William Hanna, 65, and Dianne Whitehouse, 59, had their convictions of causing or inciting involvement in child pornography overturned as their live streaming of sex sessions was not permanent . But after the pornography ruling was quashed by the Court of Appeal, a retrial at Birmingham Crown Court ended with a jury being directed to return not guilty verdicts. The ruling came after it was judged the live streaming of the pair's sex sessions with their victim did not fit the legal definition of pornography, which must be recorded in a permanent form. Directing the jury to clear the pair, Judge Richard Bond said: 'These defendants have been convicted of sex offences. 'In regards to these charges it is a legal technicality we are dealing with it is important if someone is going to be convicted there are convicted on what the law states. 'The law says this offence can only be committed if data being streamed is recorded. There was no recording in this case, and if there was no recording then the offence is not made out.' Also took part: Ian McGlasson, 49, of Reading, was jailed for six years for involving the same victim in bondage sessions . Former Frankley Community School teacher Hanna, previously of Acocks Green, Birmingham, was jailed for seven years in 2013 after being convicted of three charges of sexual activity with a child. Girlfriend Whitehouse was jailed for six years after being convicted of two charges of the same offence. Their trial heard how they met their victim online before 'degrading' her in sessions at the Etap Hotel, off Bristol Road, Birmingham which were streamed live on the internet. In one session a man dressed in a catsuit entered the room and had sex with the teen. Jailing the pair in 2013, Judge Patrick Thomas QC said Hanna and Whitehouse had taken advantage of an 'intensely troubled and damaged child' and 'relished' her young age. He told them: 'You treated her not as a damaged child who needed protection, but as somebody who could be simply used as you wished. 'You involved her in sexual activity which must have had the effect of damaging her even further.' Of the live streaming, the judge said: 'In addition to the degradation of that child, she knows an unknown number of people have had the opportunity to view that degradation.' A third man, Ian McGlasson, 49, of Reading, was jailed for six years for involving the same victim in bondage sessions. He admitted six charges of sexual activity with a child, two of meeting a child following grooming and possessing and taking

Summary: William Hanna and Dianne Whitehouse jailed for sexual activity with girl, 15 . Also convicted of inciting child porn for streaming live hotel sex sessions . But couple, of Birmingham, now cleared of charge thanks to legal loophole . Child porn must be recorded in permanent form to fit its legal definition .


In these disturbing scenes, eyewitnessed by Daily Mail Online, Nick Gordon is seen incoherent and so drunk and high he is unable to walk. Captured on video barely 12 hours before a dramatic intervention by Dr Phil McGraw Gordon, 25, is shown falling down drunk and being helped to his feet in his hotel, the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead, Atlanta. The beleaguered fiancé of Bobby Kristina Brown believed he was to be interviewed by Dr Phil the following day. Gordon has now admitted to taking heroin, Xanax and drinking heavily since Bobby Kristina, 22, was found face-down and unresponsive in her bath-tub on 31 January. He had wanted to tell his story publicly because he felt he was being ‘vilified’ and depicted as a ‘monster.’ Breakdown: With his mother, Michelle, by his side Nick Gordon struggles to stay coherent . Troubling preview: A trailer for the interview of Bobbi Kristina Brown's boyfriend Nick Gordon by Dr Phil McGraw was released Sunday night. Swinging from crying to flying into a rage, the disturbing 30 second video shows a very troubled young man in a lot of pain as he is questioned by Dr Phil . Blame game: Michelle said her son '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.' Hugs: Before he left for rehab, Nick and his mother embraced. She said her son was at 'the breaking point'. But on learning of Gordon’s spiralling mental and physical state Dr Phil decided that he could not proceed with the interview, ‘in good conscience.’ Instead, with Gordon’s life ‘hanging in the balance’ he staged an intervention. In the show, due to broadcast Wednesday, a weeping and wailing Gordon admitted that he has twice tried to kill himself and confessed: ‘I’m so sorry for everything.’ Asked if he still intended to kill himself he said: ‘If anything happens to Krissi I will.’ 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

Summary: Captured on video barely 12 hours before a dramatic intervention by Dr Phil McGraw, Nick Gordon was totally out of it . He is shown being helped to his feet in his suite at the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead, Atlanta . Dr. Phil staged a highly-charged intervention with Nick Gordon last Thursday . Gordon is now in rehab after the intervention having been drinking heavily and taking Xanax . Girlfriend Bobbi Kristina has been in a medically induced coma since January 31 and Gordon has not been allowed to see her . The dramatic intervention will air Wednesday on the Dr Phil show .


Carlo Ancelotti has the best comeback lines. He's a soft touch, they've been saying in Madrid; the club needs to be ruled with an iron fist, they add; the players need tough love, they complain. Ancelotti dealt with the issue last week in a press conference, arching his trademark left eyebrow into its most quizzical state of scepticism. 'This soft touch has won three Champions League,' he said. And it's hard to argue with that. They will argue with it, of course, at Real Madrid. Tuesday's Champions League tie against Schalke should be some blessed relief from domestic worries but then this has often been Ancelotti's way. He is after all the Champions League specialist. The debacle of Istanbul aside - when his team threw away a 3-0 lead to lose the 2005 final Liverpool – it is a competition which has been very good to him. Carlo Ancelotti characteristically raises his eyebrow during a press conference on Monday . Ancelotti's laid-back attitude means he is loved by the majority he comes into contact with . It was the trophy that saved him last summer. The muttering at the club was that he would be dismissed but, having delivered the much-anticipated 'decima' - Real Madrid's tenth European Cup after a gap of twelve years - even the powers that be at the Bernebeu didn't quite have the stomach to sack him. But the credit Ancelotti accrued for that historic win is now being called in. At the turn of the year Real Madrid were considered the most-formidable team in world football; they had a four-point lead at the top of La Liga and the so-called BBC – Bale, Benezema and Cristiano – looked unstoppable. Whatever happened to the players over the Christmas break, it wasn't good. Since then the club has been knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Atletico Madrid, which was quickly followed by the 4-0 defeat at the Vicente Calderon to their Madrid rivals. Then there was the under-par home draw to Real Villareal last weekend and Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Athletic Bilbao. Real Madrid - and Cristiano Ronaldo - have struggled for results in recent weeks . There are doubts over the suitability of Welshman Gareth Bale at the Bernabeu . Athletic Bilbao players run off to celebrate with Aritz Aduriz after scoring during the win over Real . Angel di Maria with last season's Champions League trophy - which saved Ancelotti's job . The 4-0 defeat to Atletico was the one that really stung president Florentino Perez and it elicited a presidential visit to the dressing room and promise from the team leaders that things would improve. But those captains include Sergio Ramos, currently out injured, Iker Casillas, described by one commentator as being reduced to the status of a 'celebrity' in goal, and Cristiano Ronaldo, whistled at the Bernebeu for enjoying an extravagant birthday party on the immediate aftermath of that 4-0 defeat. When the president demands more and the result is a 1-1 home draw and a defeat to Athletic, then it's the manager

Summary: Carlo Ancelotti's laid-back style offers relief from other managers . Real Madrid should progress in the Champions League quarter-finals . They face Schalke at the Bernabeu with a two-goal lead . Ancelotti is well-liked by the players but Florentino Perez wants results . CLICK HERE for all the latest Real Madrid news .

A behavioral checklist that the Transportation Security Administration uses to help identify airport travelers they believe could be potential terrorists has been revealed. The Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques system, nicknamed SPOT, breaks down body language and demeanor the TSA believes indicates either 'stress' or 'deception'. Mannerisms are assigned points based on their severity and are assessed by trained 'Behavior Detection Officers', who observe passengers as they go through the security checkpoint. Behaviors are given points based on their perceived severity. If you walk through security with a 'face pale from recent shaving of beard' or happen to be yawning or whistling, you can be assigned one point. Scroll down for video . It has been revealed that the Transportation Security Administration uses a behavioral checklist, nicknamed SPOT, to help identify potential terrorists among airport travelers (file photo) A strong body odor, sweaty palms and a bobbing Adam's apple can also get you one point, according to the checklist obtained by The Intercept. Having 'widely open eyes' will get you two points, as will showing 'unusual' interest in a security officer's work routine or having 'identical luggage or dress' to an individual who does not seem related to you. Appearing to be in disguise will get you three points. But you can also get points shaved off. If you appear to be a member of a family or part of a married couple, you get two points deducted from your score. Being a female over 55, or a male over 65, gets you a one point reduction. The checklist includes a list of items and behaviors to look out for if a passenger is pulled aside for inspection. 'Suspicious' items range from blueprints to liquids 'in excess of 3.4oz'. Further signs of deception include excessive yawning or perspiration and lacking details about the purpose of one's trip. The SPOT program, which has cost more than $800million since its inception in 2007, was deemed ineffective by both the Department of Homeland Security and the Government Accountability Office last year. SPOT breaks down body language the TSA believes indicates 'stress' or 'deception', including sweaty palms, a strong body odor, widely opened eyes or a bobbing Adam's apple (file photo) The GAO found that there was no scientific evidence to support the SPOT's claim that terrorists can be picked out via 'behavioral indicators', and said the human's ability to 'accurately identify' suspicious behavior is 'slightly better than chance'. The Department of Homeland Security report said that the TSA had not assessed the effectiveness of the SPOT program or designed a 'comprehensive training program' for it. It concluded that the TSA could not 'ensure that passengers at United States airports are screened objectively' with SPOT and did not believe the administration could 'justify the program's expansion'. TSA was sued by the American Civil Liberties Union last week for failing to respond to a Freedom of Information Act request regarding the SPOT program. The ACLU is alleging that the program leads to racial profiling. A spokesperson with the TSA told the Intercept that 'behavior detection' was

Summary: The Screening of Passengers by Observation Techniques system breaks down body language the TSA believes indicates 'stress' or 'deception' Mannerisms are assigned points based on their severity and are assessed by trained 'Behavior Detection Officers' Other traits the TSA watch for include a 'face pale from recent shaving of beard,' yawning or whistling, a strong body odor and 'widely opened eyes' Points are shaved off if you are married, a member of a family, a woman over 55 years of age, or a man over 65 . Both the Department of Homeland Security and the Government Accountability Office have found the program to be ineffective .


Jeremy Clarkson was last night at the centre of renewed controversy after he said foreign taxi drivers in London have ‘vehicles smelling of sick’. The Top Gear host – whose future at the BBC is in doubt amid claims that he punched a producer – made the controversial comments in the March edition of Top Gear magazine. He wrote: ‘In London, there are two types of [cab] driver. Jeremy Clarkson behind the wheel of his car leaving his house in London yesterday. He now at the centre of a new controversy after saying that foreign taxi drivers in London have cars 'smelling of sick' ‘You have a chap who has just arrived from a country you’ve never heard of, whose car smells faintly of lavender oil and sick, who doesn’t know where he’s going and can’t get there anyway because he never puts more than £2 worth of fuel in the tank of his car. ‘Then you have someone in a suit in a smart black Mercedes S-Class who does know where he’s going and is very polite but he charges around £7,500 a mile.’ He also turned on drivers in the North, saying northern roads are overrun with immigrants ‘who have never experienced tarmac before’. Although it was unclear last night when Clarkson, 54, wrote the article, it was almost certainly before the dust-up in North Yorkshire, and sources close to the presenter believe his enemies immediately latched on to the magazine remarks to pile more pressure on the beleaguered star. Although it was unclear last night when Clarkson, 54, pictured, wrote the article, it was almost certainly before the dust-up in North Yorkshire . Labour MP Helen Goodman had earlier said: ‘These are not the reactions of someone on a peace mission. He’s trying to maximise the conflict. 'As an MP for a northern constituency, I can tell you he’s talking complete nonsense.’ Clarkson’s magazine comments were an embarrassing distraction for the presenter on the day he faced an interrogation over his dust-up with Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon by BBC chiefs, who are said to be ‘desperate’ to get rid of him. Ken MacQuarrie, head of BBC Scotland, is leading an inquiry into the fracas and is expected to deliver a verdict within days. The inflammatory comments follow a string of rows over racism. Last year, Clarkson apologised after he was filmed allegedly using the N-word in the poem ‘Eeny, meeny, miney, moe’. Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon, who was allegedly punched by Clarkson following a dust-up with the presenter following a day's filming . Shortly afterwards, he used the racist term ‘slope’ in a programme about Burma. However, Clarkson has the backing of David Cameron, as well as Top Gear’s fans. More than 935,000 signed an online petition to reinstate him on the show. He also received support from the stuntman who played ‘The Stig’. Perry McCarthy said Top Gear would lose its ‘fire’ without Clarkson.
