Brandon Jividen, 38, his girlfriend Rebecca Adams, 23, her two children Michelle, 6, and three-year-old Jarraca and their dog Sparks have not been seen for 10 months, prompting massive police searches with help from the FBI. Now police in the Alaskan town of Kenai, are connecting the discovery of the remains and items of clothing with the family's disappearance. Responding officers found remains and items reported missing from the home of Brandon Jividen, 38, and girlfriend Rebecca Adams, 23 . Clothes and human remains were found on the trail near their home, pictured, that may finally reveal what happened after the family vanished from their home . A map showing exactly where he remains and items of clothing were found on a trail near to the family home . It comes after a person driving down a west Kenai trail on Saturday spotted items, which were reported missing from Miss Adams and Mr Jividen's home. FBI officials are travelling to the area to help with the investigation. Currently yellow crime scene tape has cordoned off a brown, wooded area the size of a football field and police SUVs and a forensics tent has been erected. Police added that it would take time to positively identify the remains and to complete the investigation. Lieutenant David Cook told ABC: 'At this point it’s not apparent where they have gone or where they might be.

Gerry Adams has been named by an influential American magazine as a former IRA commander who personally passed ‘death sentences’ on its enemies. Adams, 64, has long denied belonging to the terror group. But the New Yorker magazine has published a damning 15,000-word assessment of allegations against him. Scroll down for video . New Yorker magazine has accused Gerry Adams, pictured, of being a former IRA commander . It claims that Adams himself issued the order to ‘disappear’ mother-of-ten Jean McConville who was dragged screaming from her Belfast home by a masked gang in 1972 after she was suspected of being a British Army informer. Last year Adams was arrested by police investigating Mrs McConville’s murder. He has always denied any involvement and was released without charge. The article names Adams as having been a senior member of the IRA and the military commander responsible for the Belfast Brigade. None of the claims is new but their collation by the magazine – in a devastating essay entitled ‘Where the bodies are buried’ with another headline saying Adams ‘authorised murder’ – is seen as a sign that the Sinn Fein president can no longer regard himself as the ‘acceptable face’ of Irish Republicanism in America. The magazine claimed that Gerry Adams, pictured, joined the IRA in the 1960s and passed 'death sentences' Patrick Radden Keefe, the author of the New Yorker essay, wrote: ‘It is believed that Adams joined [the IRA] as a teenager, in the mid-Sixties. Several former IRA volunteers confirmed to me that Adams was a member of the group.’ He said Adams had presided over a meeting of IRA bombers in Belfast to plot the 1973 bombing campaign in London. The article also said Adams dispatched an IRA member to New York to procure Armalite assault rifles for use against the British Army, having them smuggled back aboard the QEII ocean liner.

Summary: New Yorker magazine has printed 15,000-word profile on Gerry Adams . The Sinn Fein leader has long denied being a former IRA member . The magazine said Adams issued the order to 'disappear' a mother of ten . They also allege he was at a planning meeting for a London terror strike .

The Secret Service has announced plans to fly its own drones in restricted airspace over Washington D.C. The agency, which has been hit by a number of recent high profile security breaches into the White House grounds, has declined to say what the flights are for, nor specifically when they will occur. But experts have speculated that the Secret Service has developed drones that can be used as surveillance against unmanned aerial vehicles which violate White House airspace but stopped short of saying they now possess weaponized UAVs. Alert: Secret Service officers search the south grounds of the White House on January 26 after an unmanned drone piloted by a drunk government employee crash landed on the lawn . In January, the agency was embarrassed when a small drone piloted by a drunk government employee crash landed onto the White House lawn and recently Paris has been unnerved by a spate of drones seen buzzing the Eiffel Tower, the US Embassy and other key city landmarks. The January episode highlighted a serious security gap that the Secret Service has so far been unable to plug - how to combat the threat of drones flown over the nation's capital and specifically against the White House. The United States Secret Service, in conjunction with other inter-agency partners, will conduct a series of exercises involving unmanned aircraft systems, in the coming days and weeks. Because these exercises will be conducted within the normally flight restricted areas in the Washington D.C. area, they have been carefully planned and will be tightly controlled. In preparation for these exercises the Secret Service has coordinated with all appropriate federal, state and local agencies. However, some aviation and security experts have expressed concern about the scope of the Secret Service's use of drones. Michael Drobac, executive director of the Small UAV Coalition told the Washington Times he thinks that the flights are firstly a public relations exercise designed to restore confidence but he is worried about what the agency will do with all the surveillance material it collects. 'The beauty of their exercise is they get to do real-world outdoor operations that will promote safety for the White House, for monuments and for the general public,' said Drobac. '(But) If the Secret Service uses it inappropriately, I’d be the first to say they have to stop that,” he said. “They’re going to have to disclose what they intend to do at some point, because that’s exactly what it says in the executive order. Agencies have to be transparent.' The executive order was issued by President Obama in February and governs how any federal agencies using drones keep information gathered. All agencies wishing to use drones must publish their own guidelines on keeping and gathering the information so that people's privacy is not violated.

Handing out fatherly advice, putting a reassuring arm around a shoulder and helping youngsters with their school work - it is not your average video clip of Wayne Rooney. The Manchester United and England star, however, showed there is more to him than scoring goals and hitting the headlines for the wrong reasons on a visit to Stretford High School. The 29-year-old joined team-mate Paddy McNair to surprise youngsters, walking in unannounced while they were in the middle of a class. Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney attended Stretford High School to help out last month . And in a clip posted by the club's charity arm, the Manchester United Foundation, the dad-of-two reveals his fatherly traits. The youngsters were told to make a football team from a variety of animals. And Rooney went for a selection that manager Louis van Gaal may wish to ponder when he goes shopping for new defender this summer, putting a meerkat at centre-half 'because he's quicker so he can cover the hippo and the hedgehog'. There was also laughter when Rooney asked why the giraffe was playing upfront. 'Fellaini?' asked a cheeky pupil. Wayne Rooney and Paddy McNair sit for a photo with pupils from the Stretford High School . Wayne Rooney scores a stunning header against Arsenal in the FA Cup defeat on Monday . The Manchester United captain celebrates his goal at Old Trafford on Monday against Arsenal in the FA Cup . Rooney then delivered a fascinating insight into his mindset to his enthralled audience. 'I came through at Everton playing first team when I was 16 and I played for England at 17,' he explained. 'Sometimes when you're that young it's difficult to read stuff about yourself in the newspaper but it's important you don't take too much notice of it because you have to do your job on the pitch and in your work and not listen to what other people think. What's important is what you think and your family and friends around you.' Rooney halts team-mate Angel di Maria during a controversial clash with Arsenal on Monday . From the classroom it was out to the football pitch and an impromptu training session. Rooney, never shy of making his feelings known on the field, urged one boy waiting for a pass: 'If you want the ball shout louder!'. He said of the visit: 'We're Manchester United players, we're in a privileged position so it's great to come and see the kids, give them some advice and hopefully it helps them.' Head teacher James Heseldine had no doubts over the pair's impact. 'Just seeing the childrens' reaction is amazing,' he said. 'Seeing the England captain come to help you with your project on a normal Monday afternoon is special stuff and something they will remember for the rest of their lives.'

Security experts have warned of the dangers associated with USB drives for some time, but until now, the biggest danger has been viruses and malware. Now there is a new potential threat that turns the lowly thumb drive into a ‘laptop killer’ by using a high voltage to destroy the computer’s components. Dubbed ‘USB Killer’, the crude device was created by a Russian electronics expert known as Dark Purple. The malicious drive has been dubbed ‘USB Killer’ and it uses a high voltage and current to ‘fry’ the laptop’s components. The prototype (pictured) was created by a Russian electronics expert known as Dark Purple . The user posted photos and specifications about the project on Russian blog Habrahabr, and this was later syndicated and posted in English on Kukuruku. The English post said: ‘I work in [a] company engaged in the development and manufacture of electronics. ‘In modern computers, the USB ‘physics’ is built in the processor [and] the task of the designed USB flash drive is to burn all of this stuff, or at least kill the USB port.’ Dark Purple posted photos and specifications about his project on Russian blog Habrahabr. The user said: 'In modern computers, the USB ‘physics’ is built in the processor [and] the task of the designed USB flash drive is to burn all of this stuff, or at least kill the USB port’ (the custom circuit board is pictured) The drive uses high voltage and high current to ‘fry’ the electronics inside the port. And because this port is often connected to the CPU, the whole laptop can be affected. A colleague of Dark Purple is reported as saying the device is ‘like an atomic bomb: cool to have, but can not be applied’ Dark Purple ordered the parts, including a custom circuit board, from China before making a ‘full-fledged prototype’. And in tests, the user said they had ‘burnt down’ everything they could. In November a team of Berlin-based researchers reverse-engineered the files that control how a USB drive's software works. This so-called firmware was then reprogrammed to give complete control of a PC to the hacker. Firmware is a software program, or set of instructions, programmed onto a hardware device. It tells the device how to communicate with other devices, including computers. Drive manufacturers will often update firmware to improve the performance of their devices. These changes are made at a central level before being pushed out to individual devices. The flaw was discovered by Karsten Nohl and Jakob Lell at Security Research Labs has been dubbed BadUSB. It affects thumb drives and external hard drives, but also any device that connects to a PC using USB. This includes keyboards and the mouse, as well as the USB drives used to charge phones and tablets. ‘The basic idea of the USB drive is quite simple,’ explained Dark Purple. ‘When connected to the USB port, an inverting DC/DC converter runs and charges capacitors to -110V [and] when the voltage is reached, the DC/DC is switched off. ‘The loop runs till everything possible is broken

Summary: The malicious, custom-built drive has been dubbed ‘USB Killer’ It uses a high voltage and current to ‘fry’ the laptop's components . Prototype was created by an electronics expert known as Dark Purple . Dark Purple designed the drive using parts bought in China . It was described as an 'atomic bomb: cool to have but not to be applied'


A cafe owner who took up photography 'as a hobby' has won a top British award for a dramatic storm image. Carla Regler, 31, who runs Seadrift cafe in the little fishing and holiday town of Porthleven with her partner Chris Brooks, used a digital SLR camera to take a stunning picture showing the awesome, furious power of the sea. Her amazing image of Porthleven being battered in last year's ferocious storms has won the weather category in the British Life Photography Awards. Scroll down for video . Carla Regler snapped this shot of Porthleven being battered in last year's ferocious storms , and has won the weather category in the British Life Photography Awards . A beautiful photograph of Porthleven take at Christmas last year, somewhat more serene than the powerful storm shots . Last year she won bronze in the Epson International Pano Awards for a different picture of the same scene, both taken on February 5th, the day that the harbour defences were breached. The Cornwall cafe owner said of her latest award 'This photo was taken at sunrise - the sun is trying to come through and that's what gives it that mood. 'It was a quite an emotional day for Porthleven. It was the day the boats were damaged. 'With everything that happened, it's nice to have been able to capture that moment. 'It's fantastic to get this award and I am really pleased.' The British Life Photography Awards recognises the country's 'obsession' with the weather. On the category section, it states: 'Blessed with four seasons, British weather moulds our landscape, coast, the environment and communities.' And the photos the judges are after are 'Images from parched landscapes to flooded meadows, windswept moors to spring sunlight.' Many households on the coast were left without power after ferocious storms swept in from the Atlantic . Unsurprisingly, all trains lines were suspended in Cornwall at the height of the storm, with structural engineers working overtime . In January and February 2014 hundreds of homes were flooded as the worst storms in 20 years continued to cause misery across the country. Waves as high as 30 feet battered the coastline at Porthleven as Storm Hercules reared its ugly head after moving across the Atlantic over the early part of last year. There were thousands of 999 calls in Cornwall alone, and the Environment Agency issued as many as 340 storm warnings across the country, warning of serious risk to life.' Carla and Chris, 39, moved to Cornwall from Wiltshire four years ago and took on a former wool shop in Porthleven, converting it into the seaside cafe of their dreams. But while Chris is the chef, Carla has become so successful at photography that they have turned the upstairs into a gallery to show off her work. Six months ago she was approached to do pictures for a lifestyle company, and she now also runs photography courses, which is amazing considering she has never had any lessons herself and is completely self-taught. Waves reached as high as 30 feet on

A sticky-fingered octopus has turned the tables on a videographer at a Vermont research lab who was trying to record him, snatching his camera and snapping a few photos of his own. Benjamin Savard, a digital media producer at Middlebury College, was testing out a GoPro camera in the octopus tank Monday when the mischievous sea creature took matters into his own tentacles. After the impromptu photo session, the California two-spot octopus tried to take a bite out of the pricey camera submerged in his tank, but eventually lost interest. Say, 'Cheese'! Benjamin Savard (bottom), a digital media producer at Middlebury College in Vermont, was testing out a GoPro camera in the octopus tank when the mischievous creature grabbed the device . Camera shy: The octopus reached a tentacle and grabbed hold of the camera in its waterproof casing . Photographer turns subject: The cephalopod swung the GoPro device around and trained it on Savard and a female researcher . Experiment: Savard (left and right) was hoping to make a sequence of images to accompany research work on the behavior of the California two-spot octopus - a species known for its intelligence and friendly demeanor . In focus: After a few blurry attempts, the octopus got this crystal-clear shot of the filmmaker . Neuroscience students at Middlebury College have been studying whether the octopus species, known for their intelligence and friendly disposition, can open boxes containing food more quickly by observing their eight-legged peers. Savard placed the GoPro camera in a waterproof casing and set it to automatically take rapid-fire photos per second before placing it inside the octopus tank, reported the Washington Post. The filmmaker was hoping to make a sequence of images to accompany the students' research work on cephalopod behavior. Most octopuses in the reservoir ignored the device, but one feisty specimen took hold of the camera and trained it on Savard, snapping a couple of good-quality pictures showing the bespectacled producer dressed in a white lab coat. Savard shared the snapshots on Reddit, where they became a huge hit with users. Some wary redditors have accused Savard of staging the photo shoot, but the filmmaker assured them that it was not a stunt. As proof, he posted the entire series of photos featuring the moment the critter reaches a tentacle to grab the camera, turns it around and trains it on Savard and a female researcher standing behind him. Savard later compiled the photo sequence into a gif. ‘I was just trying to brainstorm different ideas of how to show off the kind of unique research that’s going on here and in ways that would be engaging,’ Savard explained on Reddit. ‘I think the octopus’s timing was great. I was just in the right place at the right time.’ Snack attack: After the impromptu photo shoot, the sassy octopus tried to take a bite out of the pricey camera submerged in his tank .

The most surprising thing about New York Fashion Week this year wasn't what the models were wearing, but what they were drinking. The elixir on every fashionista's lips was bone broth, which is being sold by the cup from a hip new Manhattan shop. Aficionados claim that it is rich in amino acids - the building blocks of protein - calcium and collagen, and that drinking it will do everything from warding off illnesses to curing joint pain, and giving you healthy skin, nails and hair. And at just 86 calories per cup, it's a very slimming lunch option. It's catching on here, too - celebrity chefs Jasmine and Melissa Hemsley, whose healthy cookbook The Art of Eating Well knocked Jamie Oliver and Mary Berry off the top of the Amazon charts, advocate ladlefuls of bone broth in everything from stews to scrambled eggs. Making it couldn't be easier: simply add 2-3kg of bones from any beef, lamb or chicken carcass to a pan of water with a couple of onions, leeks, carrots and celery sticks. Add a tablespoon of peppercorns, a bay leaf and a dash of cider vinegar and simmer for up to 24 hours. It may sound like old-fashioned stock, but fans claim bone broth is different because it simmers for eight hours longer, which helps break down the protein you get from the bones. But Sian Porter, spokesman for the British Dietetic Association, isn't convinced. 'Bone broth does contain nutrients, minerals and vitamins, but in pretty low quantities. You'd get far more goodness from just eating meat.' However, she says, making your own stock is 'certainly better than buying it in a cube, as you can control what goes in it'. Bone broths have traditionally been prescribed for colds, flu and digestive health, says Laura Tilt, a registered dietitian. 'The main protein in bone broth is gelatine. Gelatine supplements have been shown to improve pain and stiffness in osteoarthritis sufferers, but whether you get the same benefits from broth is unclear.' So is bone broth a magic bullet for superhuman health and supermodel looks? Probably not. But is it much better for you than a supermarket-bought stock cube? Almost certainly.

Summary: New York Fashion Week models were drinking bone broth . Aficionados claim that it is rich in amino acids, calcium and collagen . And at just 86 calories per cup, it's a very slimming lunch option .

When Tony Ansell was given an Airfix kit at was six-years-old, it was something of an inspiration. Twenty years on the keen model maker has created a fleet of radio controlled warships at his workshop in Ferndown in Dorset. Each warship is made to scale, using original Royal Navy blueprints and photographs to ensure they capture a snapshot in time when the vessels were in action. Model maker Tony Ansell spent the last 20 years making scale models of radio controlled navy warships. His Dorset workshop features models of HMS Campbeltown (top), HMS Hood (middle) and HMS Fencer (bottom) Mr Ansell, a former plumber, uses original Royal Navy blueprints to make the scale models of the warships . And so dedicated is the former plumber to his craft that he is in the process of writing to the Queen to ask for permission to name one of his ships - a G3 battlecruiser - Beatty because the original was cancelled and therefore never named. 'You need to put in the research and I tend to pick a particular time in the ship's life to make it at because warships went in for refits lots and could be different from year to year,' said Mr Ansell, 63. 'I like to make ships you don't see at model shows very often and bigger ones are more of a challenge because you have to be more detailed.' Mr Ansell uses fibreglass to make the hull of the ships and flexible sheets of 1mm thick plastic for the rest of the structure. He researches each of the vessels before he makes them, using photographs to ensure accuracy. Most of the other items such as guns and aircraft are made from resin and mini Airfix kits. Constructing the models is a painstaking process, sometimes taking longer than it took to make the actual warships themselves. It took nine years for Mr Ansell to complete HMS Dreadnought laying each of the planks individually . Replica fighter planes sit on the deck of one of Mr Ansell's boats that make up his fleet of model warships . HMS Campbeltown was an American ship that was eventually transferred to the Royal Navy in 1940 . Mr Ansell's most recent build, the battleship HMS Dreadnought, is a 6ft long, 1:196 scale model and has as taken him nine years to finish - nine times longer than it took to build the actual warship in 1906. But the project was delayed by a lack of photographs of the vessel and he built two other models during that time. He has also made models of aircraft carrier HMS Fencer, HMS Campbeltown and HMS Hood, the ship sunk by the Germans in World War Two. As well as his scale warships, Mr Ansell has also created replicas of tanks, keeping them all to precise scale . The 63-year-old makes the models in his Dorset workshop and is seen consulting an original blueprint . The HMS Dreadnought replica (left) was the most time consuming of all Mr Ansell's models and each additional part, from aircraft

Summary: Tony Ansell has been making model warships for the last 20 years at home . Mr Ansell uses original Royal Navy blueprints to make scale model ships . On average ships take three years to make but HMS Dreadnought took nine . Each is made from fibreglass and flexible plastic and is radio controlled .


A fraudster paid for his sandwich using a 100 Euro note from the Early Learning Centre. The fake note, which had the logo of the famous children's shop emblazoned cross its front, was handed over by the customer at a fast food shop in Newry, County Down. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said officers were asked to investigate the counterfeit currency after the owner, who initially thought the note was real, was left out of pocket. A fraudster paid for his sandwich at a fast food chain using a 100 Euro note from the Early Learning Centre . A real version of the 100 Euro note. Police in Northern Ireland have asked shopkeepers to be vigilant when checking currency . Posting a photo of the note on their Newry and Mourne Facebook page, the PSNI said: 'Yep you are right you know, it's a pretend 100 euro note from a leading kiddies toy store. 'So why do we have it in an evidence bag I hear you query? Well it's in an evidence bag because it's evidence. Evidence of the offence of tendering counterfeit currency. 'I know, I know a kids play note counterfeit currency?? Well believe it or not this was actually accepted as payment recently in business premises in Newry. Actually!' Newry is a city near to the Irish border where many businesses accept cash in both sterling and euro. Police have now issued fresh advice for businesses to thoroughly check all notes thoroughly before accepting them. The PSNI posted an image of the counterfeit note on the Newry and Mourne Facebook page . The PSNI added: 'If you work in a cash handling job please take 5 seconds to check all notes you are accepting, the first check would be look at the thing! The second would be to swipe a counterfeit detector pen across it, you can buy these online for pennies. 'Then consider the feel of the note. Clearly no checks were done on this note and that business is now 100 euro down plus the value of the goods it was used to 'pay' for! 'Isn't it as well the £ is pretty strong against the euro?'

Summary: Note, emblazoned with ELC logo, used to buy sandwich in fast food shop . Police officers called to investigate after incident in Newry, County Down . They also warned shopkeepers to be vigilant when checking notes' validity .


Sunderland's Steven Fletcher has been blasted by fans after posing with his new £260,000 Lamborghini Aventador supercar while struggling for goals during the club's relegation battle. The £40,000-a-week striker, who has scored just seven times in two years for Sunderland, suffered a Twitter backlash after the photograph of him with the supercar on the driveway of his home went viral. The 27-year-old player, who cost his club £12million, was criticised by fans who said the car was ‘undeserved’ and the timing of the photo was ‘really appalling’, after it began circulating three days before his team lost 4-0. Aventador: Steven Fletcher, who has scored just seven times in two years for Sunderland, suffered a Twitter backlash after the photograph of him with the supercar on the driveway of his home went viral . Partner: Fletcher is pictured with his beauty queen girlfriend Rachel Monaghan, 22 . However, his agent Scott Fisher told the Daily Record that Fletcher had not put the image on Twitter - adding that it was the company who sold the supercar who posted the picture online. Mr Fisher said: ‘It wasn’t Steven that put the picture up. The company who were doing advertising on it done it. I don’t know what the problem is and what people are getting excited about.’ But Janet Rowan, from the Sunderland Supporters’ Association, said that ‘it was probably the straw that broke the camel’s back’ for low-income fans to see someone taking possession of such a car. She told the Daily Mirror: ‘We know footballers have these big flash cars. I just think the timing was really appalling and I can really understand the way that people have felt about this.’ The four-wheel drive Aventador, which sells for between £242,000 and £295,000, has a top speed of 217mph, will return 17.6mpg and can perform 0 to 62mph in 2.9 seconds. Seven goals in two seasons: Fletcher (left) vies for the ball with Aston Villa's Jores Okore (right) during his Sunderland side's 4-0 Premier League defeat at the Stadium of Light on March 14 . Comparisons: Birmingham fan Michael Jabbari quoted a message from parody account BBC Sporf in a tweet, which said: 'Steven Fletcher: two seasons, seven goals, one new Lamborghini Aventador' In response to the photo, Sunderland fan JamesTheMackem posted on Twitter: 'Steven Fletcher has a Lamborghini, the most undeserved Lambo for a football player, ever.' Jack Liddell added: 'Tell me how Steven Fletcher (a striker) can score seven goals in two seasons yet have earned a Lamborghini Aventador and a Bentley Continental.' Fletcher began his career at Hibernian in 2004, before moving to Burnley for £3million in 2009, Wolverhampton Wanderers for £6.5million in 2010, and Sunderland for £12million in 2012. But while he scored 52 goals in five years for Hibernian, 12 in one year for Burnley and 24 in two years for Wolves, he has struggled for form at Sunderland since signing. Fletcher scored 11 goals in his first season for the Black Cats, but only netted three last term - and has managed four this campaign. He has

At this rate the politicians will be sticking their children down as election expenses. Ed Miliband yesterday took the 'Hello-isation' of general election coverage to a whole new level. He invited ITV's breakfast telly to accompany him on the school run with his little sons. Folks, it was a heart-melter. Gooey as hot marshmallow. Well, that was the intention, anyway. Scroll down for video . Ed Miliband walks his boys to school in yesterday's breakfast television ITV broadcast . Viewers heard the Leader of the Opposition engage dear little Daniel, five, and Samuel, four, in Daddy talk and tell them a story about Boo-Boo and Hee-Hee. Were these nicknames for certain members of the shadow cabinet by any chance? Oddly enough, they were not, though there might be no shortage of candidates for Boo-Boo. Boo-Boo and Hee-Hee were in fact fictional beings of Mr Miliband's creation and they lived on a place called Faraway Planet. 'Nobody visits them because they are far away,' explained Mr Miliband with a logic so faultless you could almost call it Marxist. He and his wide-eyed sons were walking down a London street, accompanied by no one – except, that is, an ITV film crew. Presenter Ben Shephard was holding Daniel's hand. Can anyone remind me of Mr Miliband's position about Press intrusion into private lives? Any idea that it was normal for Mr Miliband to take the little ones to school was soon dashed. He admitted it was 'a rare treat' for him. Oh, so you mean he only did it to give us a false impression that he is a new man? Mr Shephard put on a pair of spaniel eyes and asked if Ed ever felt guilty about missing his boys' childhood. 'I do, I do,' came the eager reply. Many working blokes make similar sacrifices, mind you. It's called life. Ed Miliband's 'functional kitchenette' was slammed as dingy and unhomely when it featured on the BBC . The rest of ITV's interview was conducted at the Milibands' house, the children by now having been parked. Ed was asked about his brother David – the one he stiffed for the Labour crown. Cain and Abel minefield. 'We had a bruising leadership contest four years ago. He's moved on from that. I've moved on from that,' insisted Cain. It is certainly true to say David has moved on from it. He moved to New York! 'He's got his own thing that he's doing,' said Ed. 'He wants to focus on that.' Got that, David? If all this was toe-curling, wait till you hear what Shepard asked next. He mentioned Mr Miliband's lovely wife Justine, noted how busy their lives were, and asked our would-be prime minister: 'How do you keep the romance going?' Strewth. How much detail were we after here? Even Mr Miliband looked a bit staggered at this descent into bedroom territory. Pinkening, he said 'that's a good question'. He added that 'there's nothing more we like than a night in, just spending some time together'. Enough, enough! The interview was the last

Since leaving This Morning, the 57-year-old has carved out a successful career as a novelist alongside her TV work and as she sparkles as this month's Good Housekeeping cover girl. In the interview, Fern talks about how she's over worrying about the signs of ageing: 'My bosoms are dropping? Blah, that's life!' She adds: 'I am vain about being as fit as I can be – not about my wrinkles. I’ve had that conversation with myself about, should I do Botox, should I do this, should I do that – and I’ve talked myself out of it. I’m either going to look odd, or I’m going to look old, and I’d prefer to be the woman I should be. I’m 57, and I look like a 57 year-old, and I’m happy.' Scroll down for video .

She says: 'I haven’t had an episode for a long time. I’m cross that it’s been there and that it lurks around, but I’ve started to understand it more. I reached a stage where I knew when it was coming, hurtling towards me, and I thought, don’t run away, just stand there, brace yourself, and let it happen. 'Because I knew it would pass. People who are going through their first or second episode don’t trust that it will pass – but it really will.' The 57-year-old, who has just written her fifth novel, says that she is over worrying about ageing . Fern and husband TV chef Phil Vickery will celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary in May. She says: 'Phil and I have a really, really good relationship – every day we tell each other we love each other – and there are also times when we would cheerfully bash each other as well! 'He’s been a very good father, stepfather and partner to me. He’s the only person who’s ever always been right in my corner. On the day we married he told me, in the car, I will never let you down. That was a vow. And he never has. We’ve had our moments – it wouldn’t be normal if we hadn’t – but we’re very solid.' But life's not always glamorous in the Britton-Vickery household. Fern says: 'I rarely have make-up on when I’m at home. I’m at the Co-op, I’m on the school run, or walking in the woods with Phil and the dog – that’s real life. Phil is a very handsome man, but at home, he walks around mostly just in his pants, without having shaved for a few days!

Gary Neville surveyed Tottenham's right-side and described it as a 'graveyard' after it was torn apart in the first-half by Manchester United. The problem for England coach Neville and his boss Roy Hodgson, who was at Old Trafford, was that this graveyard shift was manned by four Englishmen: Kyle Walker, Andros Townsend, Ryan Mason and Eric Dier. Like Harry Kane and Danny Rose, also in the Spurs team, they had been hoping to deliver the type of display which might catch Hodgson's eye for the right reasons after he had changed his plans and hit the north, rather than go to Chelsea. Andros Townsend fails to hide his frustration after being taken off at Old Trafford during a torrid first half . England manager Roy Hodgson takes his seat to watch Manchester United and Tottenham on Sunday . The England squad will be named on Thursday for games against Lithuania and Italy and although Kane is certain to be involved, despite failing to make an impact in the 3-0 defeat at Manchester United when his first effort on goal came in the 89th minute. Spurs defended terribly and were killed off by three first-half goals before completing the game in something of a daze as United coasted home and it damages their hopes of finishing in the top four and reaching the Champions League. Mauricio Pochettino dubbed it the worst performance since he arrived at White Hart Lane last summer and promised to examine what went wrong before they return to action against Leicester on Saturday. Marouane Fellaini buries this chance for United's opener inside the first 10 minutes despite Eric Dier's tackle . Manager Mauricio Pochettino (left) attempted to change Tottenham's fortunes by replacing Townsend . The Tottenham defence were in disarray as Michael Carrick has the time to head in for Manchester United . 'I am not disappointed with the result but I am worried about the performance,' said Pochettino. 'You can lose here but the performance was very poor. We need to analyse and try to fix that. We're all disappointed. Not only me. But all the team. We need to understand why it happened. We need to fix it. That maybe the poorest we've played this season. 'We came, ready to compete but from the beginning it was difficult. We didn't play our normal way. The first half was poor and at 3-0 it is difficult to come back. 'We tried to play forward as is our philosophy, but it is difficult when you concede and make a lot of mistakes. Individually and collectively, we were very poor and that's why we lost the game. The key factor was us. We were the key factor in the game. Wayne Rooney celebrates compounding Tottenham's misery, scoring the third goal at Old Trafford . 'We didn't deliver a good performance. We made a lot of mistakes. We never found our way to play and allowed Manchester United to play.' Townsend was hauled off after half an hour and replaced by Mousa Dembele as Pochettino tried to get hold of possession

Summary: Manchester United comprehensively beat Tottenham 3-0 on Sunday . Tottenham's right-side in particular struggled at Old Trafford . Gary Neville and England manager Roy Hodgson were at the match . England squad named on Thursday for games with Lithuania and Italy .


Tributes have poured in for a 29-year-old Australian woman who died during a 'simple' medical procedure in Mexico, as a close friend remembers her as a kind, generous and loving young woman. Evita Nicole Sarmonikas, 29, was admitted to a hospital in Mexicali, the capital city of the Mexican state of Baja California, on March 20 while on holiday with her boyfriend. She died on the same day, after reportedly suffering a heart attack. A close friend of Ms Sarmonkias has shared a heartbreaking tribute to the young woman, as her devastated family struggle to raise funds to have her body flown home, despite the hospital offering to cremate her. Tributes have poured in for Evita Nicole Sarmonikas (right, pictured with friend Sherri Burton) after her death in a Mexican hospital last week . 'Eva my heart, my love, my joy. Where are you? I need you. We were meant to grow old together and still be conquering life hand in hand as sisters. I'm still not understanding. I haven't been able to sleep,' Sherri Burton wrote. Ms Burton recalled the last time the pair spoke, and the final day they spent together before Ms Sarmonkias went overseas. 'The last thing you wrote to me, about 7 hours before you went to be with our Heavenly Father, was "wish you were here with me". You always thought about me when you were having fun and wanted me to experience it. 'It has been 7 days since you were physically with me in this very room I’m typing in. Sitting on this very chair,' the tribute continued. 'Eva… There are not enough words to express how I feel about you. Thank you for loving me. I am honoured to have received such love. I am honoured to call you my sister. 'I am honoured to have been there through the good and the bad. I am honoured to have been let into the most intimate parts of your heart,' Ms Burton also wrote. Family and friends have flooded social media with tributes for the 'bright, beautiful' young woman . 'The last thing you wrote to me, about 7 hours before you went to be with our Heavenly Father, was "wish you were here with me", close friend Ms Burton revealed .

Juan Mata finished off a sumptuous move in some style as Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield on Sunday. The Spanish midfielder latched onto Angel di Maria's lofted pass, and twisted his body to volley a spectacular effort past despairing goalkeeper Simon Mignolet. We're not calling it an 'overhead kick', but his finish was sublime. So, what other scissor kicks have we seen over the years? Juan Mata fires home a spectacular effort for Manchester United against Liverpool on Sunday . The Spaniard's goal was the second of his double and secured a 2-1 victory for Louis van Gaal's side . Paolo di Canio (WEST HAM vs Wimbledon, 1999) As casual as it was genius. When Trevor Sinclair lifted the ball into the box, he would not have imagined the enigmatic Italian forward would have executed the volley to find the corner. Di Canio's scissor kick flew past Wimbledon goalkeeper Neil Sullivan, and deservedly won West Ham's player of the season award. His goal of the season gong for 1999/00 in the Premier League was no surprise, either. Paolo di Canio watches on after guiding home a wonderful scissor kick for West Ham against Wimbledon . The Italian forward's strike was named goal of the season in the 1999/00 Premier League campaign . Gus Poyet (CHELSEA vs Sunderland, 1999) Di Canio's effort wasn't the only scissor kick of that particular Premier League season. On the first day of the campaign, the Uruguayan midfielder sprinted to meet Gianfranco Zola's lofted pass and spectacularly volleyed home. His goal was one of four at Stamford Bridge against the hapless Sunderland. And that wasn't the last time Black Cats fans would lose their cool with Poyet. Guti (REAL MADRID vs Villarreal, 2001) Guti's scissor kick was one that we hadn't seen before, and haven't seen since. Standing upright, similar to Di Canio and Poyet, the Real Madrid star side foots his volley into the top corner. The Bernabeu faithful have seen several special players this century, but not many goals as unique as this (3minutes, 10 seconds). Mark Hughes (WALES vs Spain. 1985) Wales 3-0 Spain. A day that will long live in the memories of Welsh supporters, thrashing the Euro 1984 runners-up in Wrexham. And not only was it an historic day for the team, Hughes' goal in his hometown will never be forgotten. The ball spins back to the now-Stoke manager who acrobatically fires it home from shoulder-height, thundering into the top corner. Mark Hughes' spectacular strike helped Wales to a emphatic 3-0 victory against Spain in 1985 . Dennis Bergkamp (INTER MILAN vs Rapid Bucharest, 1993) Arsenal fans will have seen many special Bergkamp strikes in England over the years, but this effort in Italy may have gone under the radar. In the last 32 of the UEFA Cup, the 24-year-old Dutch striker showed incredible technique from the edge of the box to divert this wayward pass into the bottom corner. Luis Suarez (BARCELONA vs Levante 2015) The former Liverpool striker has now forged his legacy at Barcelona with the winner in

Summary: Juan Mata scored two goals as Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 . Second strike from Mata at Anfield on Sunday was superb scissor kick . Paolo di Canio, Gus Poyet and Peter Crouch have netted similar strikes . Mark Hughes, Luis Suarez and Dennis Bergkamp also make the list .

Southampton have been the surprise package of the 2014-15 Premier League season on the pitch and the Mail on Sunday can exclusively reveal they are one of the big winners off it, making a £31.4m profit in their latest accounts. This is the first time Saints have posted a profit since going into administration and plunging into League One in 2009, when they were saved by the late Markus Liebherr. The books for the year ending June 2014, to be published in the coming days, are firm evidence of how his daughter Katharina has is continuing a remarkable turnaround. Luke Shaw is tackled by Steven Naismith at Goodison Park during his time at Southampton . Some fans feared the worst when the club sold Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren, Calum Chambers and Rickie Lambert last year. But they were replaced well, and at a profit, and Ronald Koeman’s aim of Champions League qualification has seemed surprisingly feasible for much of the season. In an exclusive interview with the MoS, Southampton’s chief executive Gareth Rogers says he expects further similar profits in the future, and there is zero financial pressure to sell any stars this year. ‘We do not need to sell any players in the summer,’ he says. Liverpool's Rickie Lambert celebrates after scoring a goal during the UEFA Champions League Group B match . There is increasing speculation that France midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin, 25, and England right-back Nathaniel Clyne, 23, might be lured away by giant rivals, possibly Arsenal and Manchester United. Research published this month by research specialists The Football Observatory in Switzerland showed Southampton had the most profitable academy in Europe measured by total sales value of transfers of players produced within each since 2012. The top 10 clubs: . Rank Club Sample star product . 1 Southampton Adam Lallana . 2 Lille Eden Hazard . 3 Real Sociedad Antoine Griezmann . 4 Sevilla Alberto Moreno . 5 Borussia Dortmund Mario Gotze . 6 Real Madrid Esteban Granero . 7 Barcelona Bojan Krkic . 8 Stade Rennais Yann M’Vila . 9 Montpellier Remy Cabella . 10 St-Etienne Kurt Zouma . Rogers cannot categorically say it won’t happen. He does unequivocally promise that any transfers would be made on Saints’ terms and at Saints’ prices. ‘We make decisions based on what is the best thing to do for the club at the time,’ he says. ‘But we don’t need transfer fees to fund the operating costs of the club.’ If any players did leave, any income would be fully available for replacements. Southampton’s accounts show income last season of £106m and a profit after tax of £33.4m. The main source of revenue was TV money, and that rose from £47m to £79.5m. Match day income was up slightly to £17.1m and commercial income climbed 23 per cent to £8.3m. The club’s total wage bill rose by almost a third from £47.1m to £62.95m, and has risen again this season, to be reflected in the accounts in a year’s time. The club’s total debt is £50m, owed mostly to Katharina

Summary: Southampton post profits for first time since plunging into League One . Soon-to-be published documents show firm evidence of turnaround . Fans feared the worst after a summer of wholesale changes at St Mary's . Chief executive Gareth Rogers expects further similar profits in the future .


Bigger is better when it comes to selling bras because according to new market research, women are more likely to buy lingerie if it's modeled by a plus-size woman over a thin blonde. Adore Me, a rapidly growing lingerie start-up based in New York, has revealed that its television ad featuring a plus size model quadrupled online sales when compared to the brand's commercial starring a group of blondes. 'There's an overall mentality that you have to be super skinny,' the company's founder Morgan Hermand-Waiche told CNN. 'We are showing that we offer lingerie for everyone.' Scroll down for video . Betty versus Veronica: Online retailer Adore Me has revealed that new research shows that its television ad starring a plus size brunette sold more lingerie that its commercial featuring a group of blondes . The three-year-old start-up, which sells its lingerie and swimwear through monthly subscriptions, as well as one-off purchases, used a marketing strategy called A/B testing, in which consumers are shown different ads in order to measure what models, poses and settings increase the retailer's sales. When Adore Me debuted its first national television campaign last January, the company used the testing method for its three different commercials, which aired on channels such as Bravo, Lifetime and MTV. One television ad featured a cast of all blonde models, another showcased all brunette models and the third starred one plus-size brunette. After the company monitored online traffic and sales throughout the month, they came to the -perhaps surprising conclusion - that the 30-second commercial featuring the dark-haired plus-size model generated four times as many sales than the one featuring the blondes. Making sales: A curvy brunette can be seen modeling a pink lingerie set for one of the brand's commercials . Foolproof method: The company's founder Morgan Hermand-Waiche told CNN's Rachel Crane that he relies on customer research to build his company's website . Even better news for the thriving company is that the plus size clip only cost one-tenth of the other commercials' production expenses to make. The online retailer also learned that its female consumers preferred the commercial that left its models unretouched. Adore Me didn't do any digital retouching to the ad featuring multiple brunette models - and that commercial was the one that was favorited by consumers. A/B testing is an important strategy for the company, which unveils a new collection every month. Blondes don't sell: Last year's research showed that women are far more likely to buy lingerie online if it's modeled on a brunette over a flaxen haired beauty . Coveted curves: This year's data revealed that women prefer model to remain digitally untouched . Last year's marketing research showed that women are far more likely to buy lingerie online if it's modeled on a brunette over a blonde. Keeping that information in mind, the company wasn't surprised when its commercials featuring brunette models fared better than the ones that starred blondes during this year's round of testing. 'At the end of the day... it's [our] customers who choose the model they like [and]

Summary: Adore Me has revealed that its television ad featuring a plus size model generated more sales than the commercial starring a group of blondes . The New York-based startup used A/B testing, in which consumers are shown different ads in order to measure their preferences .


They may have split a year ago, but Prince Harry turned out to support his ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas for the opening night of her latest acting venture. The fourth-in-line to the throne was spotted in the audience last night for Cressida's return to the stage as female lead Cecily Cardew in Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest.

Wearing a flowing white dress and with her long hair in ringlets, her background as a dancer shone through as she gracefully bounded across the stage with infectious energy. In her tongue-in-cheek profile for the programme she was described as an 'actor, dancer and sky-diving enthusiast who was raised on a marsh by wolves'. It said: 'Accordingly, she has a vast litter of her own cubs which you may spot romping around the theatre later this evening (do not be alarmed, they're both very friendly and very stupid).

Prince Harry, 30, wearing a dark blue long-sleeved jumper, did not make any attempt to remain incognito as he sat in the circle with a male friend. He was seen in hysterics at Harry Wright's portrayal of the indomitable Lady Bracknell and Harry Elgood's sophisticated depiction of lead character John Worthing. This comes days after the revelation that Prince Harry is planning to leave the Army to continue his mother's legacy with a number of charitable projects during his second 'gap year'. Speaking about his choice to bring his active military career to an end, he said it was a 'really tough' decision and he was looking forward to starting a new chapter in his life.

Venezuela has declared the United States to be an 'imminent danger' at the launch of two weeks of Cold War-style military drills and parades featuring weapons made in Russia and China. Chanting 'socialist motherland' and branding the U.S. 'imperialist', 80,000 military staff and 20,000 civilians took the streets of the capital Caracas for anti-American protests on Saturday afternoon. The Venezuelan parliament followed the protests by yesterday approving a law giving embattled President Nicolas Maduro the power to legislate by decree for nine months in the face of what were described as 'American threats' to the South American nation. The launch of two weeks of military drills came just days after Barack Obama declared Venezuela a national security threat, restricted travel to the nation and froze the assets of some citizens of a nation already struggling with a widespread shortage of goods.

The so-called 'anti-imperialist' law will be in effect from the time it is published in Venezuela's Official Gazette until December 31. Maduro requested the expanded powers in response to new U.S. sanctions on Venezuelan officials accused of human rights violations. Critics of Venezuela's government have called the move a power grab. The U.S. is targeting officials in the top echelon of Venezuela's security apparatus responsible for cracking down on last year's anti-government protests and for pursuing charges against opponents. The officials will be denied U.S. visas and have their U.S. assets frozen. The leaders of South America's leftist governments have come out in support of Venezuela, while Washington has denied Maduro's claim that it is seeking to undermine his government and urged him to focus on Venezuela's domestic problems, including food shortages and soaring inflation. Venezuelan soldiers take part in the military exercises ordered by Nicolas Maduro in Caracas on Saturday . Support: Yesterday Venezuela's parliament approved a law giving Nicolas Maduro (pictured) the power to legislate by decree for nine months in the face of what he described as threats by the U.S. government . The two weeks of military drills are widely seen as Maduro's attempt to stir up patriotic sentiment in the hope of improving his falling approval rating ahead of key parliamentary elections later this year. Speaking to the Financial Times, Carlos Romero, a professor of international relations at the Central University of Venezuela, said Washington's declaration of the nation as a national security threat has 'worked very well for the Venezuelan government'. He said Venezuela had used the announcement

New parents: Adam Johnson, 27, and Stacey Flounders, 25, have a two-month-old baby, Ayla . The family of a millionaire England footballer say he is 100 per cent innocent and his girlfriend will stand by him after he was arrested on suspicion of having sex with a 15-year-old girl. Adam Johnson - who was signed by Sunderland for £10million in 2012 - was held by police at his six-bedroom £1.8million home in County Durham. Officers also seized a blank firing pistol during the raid. The arrest comes just weeks after his long-term girlfriend Stacey Flounders, 25, gave birth to the couple's first child Ayla Sofia, who was born on January 8. It was unclear if Miss Flounders and her daughter were at home at the time of the player's arrest. And speaking from Miss Flounders' family home, her mother told the Daily Mirror that her daughter and Johnson were still 'very close' and 'absolutely still together'. She added: 'He is 100 per cent innocent and we will stand by him. 'He hasn't been found guilty of anything. He is a great lad and has not done anything wrong. This is a horrible situtation.' The £50,000-a-week player had been due to travel with the rest of the Sunderland squad to East Yorkshire to prepare for tonight’s Premier League game against Hull City. But the club announced he was suspended, ‘pending the outcome of a police investigation’. The FA refused to comment on the arrest of the winger who has represented his country 12 times, although he failed to make the squad for the World Cup in Brazil last year. Residence: Neighbours said they assumed the 27-year-old footballer’s £1.5million property in County Durham (above) had been burgled when they saw activity outside the sprawling mansion . Johnson, 27, gained a reputation as a keen party-goer when he played for Manchester City five years ago. At the time, he was renting Cristiano Ronaldo’s former house near Alderley Edge and would often be seen in the village socialising with fellow players and women. ‘He liked the attention of being a well-known footballer and attracting women was not a problem,’ said one local, who did not wish to be named. ‘He would often leave his car in the village after a night out as he liked a drink and would always get a taxi home.’ But three years ago, after returning to his native North East, Johnson began dating Miss Flounders. Friends say Johnson opted to live near a quiet hamlet to get away from the ‘bright lights’ of city life. Footballer: Johnson is currently playing for Sunderland and has made 12 appearances for the England team . Three unmarked police cars, a police van, several plain-clothed officers and a forensics team were seen at his house as he was questioned at a Durham police station. Johnson’s stunning gated property boasts six bedrooms and a sweeping gravel drive and is set in more than two acres of mature woodland. The house is a typical Footballers’ Wives-style property with Italian stone flooring, and a spiral staircase to a

Proud: Knight smiles in the football photo, while many teammates did not. He allegedly went on to a life of intimidation and violence . He claims it is self-defense. But as he took to the stand, prosecutors reeled off a history of alleged violence and intimidating spanning decades, through which he is accused of reeling in hundreds of thousands of dollars. It convinced the judge to set the rap mogul's bail at a staggering $25million - the announcement of which led Knight to collapse in the middle of the court-room. Knight stands accused of intentionally running down two men with a pickup truck at a Los Angeles area burger stand January 29 following an argument on the set of a commercial for the film Straight Outta Compton. Terry Carter, 55, was killed after being struck by a Ford F-150, while Cle 'Bone' Sloan, 51, survived his injuries. The 49-year-old co-founder of Death Row Records has pleaded not guilty to murder, attempted murder and hit-and-run charges. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ronald S. Coen set bail for Knight at a whopping $25million after Deputy District Attorney Cynthia Barnes noted that Knight was on bail in a robbery case at the time of the hit-and-run crash. Knight's attorney argued that his bail should be set at $2million, telling the judge that had his name not been Suge Knight, prosecutors 'wouldn't have filed the case.' Medical emergency: Knight collapsed in court Friday shortly after a judge set his bail at $25million after a lengthy list of allegations against him was filed by prosecutors . In seeking the multi-million-dollar bail, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office filed an extensive motion of 295 pages of legal papers and supporting material portraying Knight as a career criminal and repeated violator of probation and parole dating back to 1987. The documents also alleged that Knight is part of an ‘ongoing extortion scheme’ in which

It’s the type of encounter that can send panic through a herd, but this fearless impala refused to turn and run after a crocodile popped out of the water in front of it. At one point the predator’s snout was just inches from the impala's nose, but the bold gazelle didn’t back down as it casually sipped from a watering hole. Tourist Graham Hewer snapped the jaw-dropping scene as he visited Kruger National Park in South Africa. Photographer Graham Hewer captured the jaw-dropping encounter during a visit to Kruger National Park in South Africa . The 29-year-old said the imapala simply walked away from the crocodile without giving it a second thought. The crocodile was close enough to attack the impala, but its would-be prey remained calm and seemed oblivious to the fact that it was at death’s door. Graham’s series of photos show a herd sipping from the lake as they keep a watchful eye on a group of much larger crocodiles nearby. The bold impala survived the strange meeting, which photographer Graham Hewer puts down to the crocodile not feeling hungry . His snaps then show the lone impala drinking from the watering hole, moments before its encounter with the crocodile. The final photo shows the crocodile alone, with its razor-sharp teeth visible inside its gaping mouth. Graham, a self-taught photographer from the South African capital of Pretoria, revealed he watched on in suspense, expecting the crocodile to kill the impala almost instantly. After getting its fill from the lake the impala simply walked away from the crocodile without giving it a second thought . But bizarrely it survived the strange meeting - which he puts down to the croc not feeling hungry. He said: ‘I got the camera ready just in time as the impala made their way towards the water. ‘One got close to a crocodile laying in the shallow water so I was expecting a straight kill. Graham Hewer's photos show a herd sipping from the lake as they keep a watchful eye on a group of large crocodiles . ‘But the impala and the crocodile just had a face-to-face meeting. ‘All the people who have seen this image are amazed to hear the impala survived this face-off. ’That's what fascinates me about photographing animals - its unpredictable, you never know what they will do.’

Carl Frampton delivered big-time and now he hopes ITV will do the same, along with great British rival Scott Quigg and his pound-wise promoter Eddie Hearn. World championship boxing’s return to mainstream terrestrial television could hardly have been more dynamic than Frampton’s five-round demolition of Chris Avalos on another wild Saturday night of The Jackal in Belfast. As they count the ratings ITV are being challenged to bid against Sky Sports for this summer’s Battle of Britain against Quigg, which is expected to fill the Manchester Arena, London’s O2 or a mid-size football ground near you. Carl Frampton lands a powerful right hand on his way to stopping Chris Avalos in the fifth round . Frampton was joined by fellow world champion Scott Quigg (right) in the ring as they build towards a fight . Both Quigg and Frampton are confident they will finally meet in a super-bantamweight unification clash . Frampton and his folk-hero Svengali Barry McGuigan are willing to help make that happen by modifying their financial demands for a fight brought closer to fruition by Quigg’s watchful presence in the aptly named Odyssey Arena. Frampton is on a journey to potential greatness and his message to his rival from Bury as they posed for photographs in the ring was this: ‘Don’t be greedy and we can share an audience of millions.’ McGuigan, whose own world championship exploits printed the road-map for his protegee’s rise to the IBF super-bantamweight title, understands the long-term benefits of the exposure which galvanised viewers on the UK mainland and around the world as Frampton put on a performance against Avalos which smacked of greatness in the making. McGuigan said: ‘Although I believe Carl will beat him, Quigg is also a very good fighter and a nice lad. If we can put this on free-to-air TV we will bring another Benn-Eubank bonanza to British boxing. ‘We are prepared to be reasonable to make this happen and I hope Scott and his promoter Eddie Hearn will see the long-term value of doing that rather than us taking this fight to pay-per-view. Frampton is prepared to smooth that process by leaving the cauldron of his Jackal’s den in his home city: ‘I’ll fight anywhere, against anybody. It’s no problem for me to meet Scott in England.’ McGuigan regards that as desirable: ‘It’s time for the Quigg fight and it’s time for Carl to go on show to the rest of Britain and then America.’ Frampton delivered an impressive performance as he made short work of his mandatory challenger . Frampton ships a rare shot as Avalos was overwhelmed in front of a sell-out crowd in Belfast . Frampton broke Avalos down until referee Howard Foster had no choice but to step in and stop the contest . Frampton can’t wait. Although his mentor wants to build solidly towards a potentially epic title-unifying clash with Guillermo Rigondeaux in the US, his fighter wants to meet the brilliant Cuban sooner rather than later. ‘I feel ready for anyone after what I’ve just done to Avalos,’ he says. ‘This man

Roy Keane has been summonsed to court after he was accused of a road rage rant with a taxi driver at a set of traffic lights. The former Manchester United star has been ordered to attend Trafford Magistrates Court later this month for a Section 4A Public Order offence. Ex-Sunderland and Ipswich Town manager Keane, currently Republic of Ireland coach, was said to have launched into a foul-mouthed tirade and made obscene gestures after jumping out his Range Rover in Altrincham, Greater Manchester. Roy Keane, seen here at his book launch in Dublin last year, has been summonsed to appear at Trafford Magistrates Court following accusations of a road rage rant at a taxi driver in Altrincham, Manchester . Roy Keane was questioned under police caution following the alleged bust-up with taxi driver . Fateh Kerar, 44, claims the row last month was sparked when he and his female passenger spotted the TV pundit at a cash machine in nearby Hale. He says he said 'hello' to the 43-year-old and asked him to 'smile' before Keane got into his car and began following his taxi. It is then alleged that when the cars stopped at traffic lights an 'angry' Keane, who lives in Bowdon, Cheshire, got out and started acting 'very aggressive'. Police launched an investigation into the incident at 11.30am on January 30 and Keane, previously a coach at Aston Villa, was interviewed under caution by officers at a police station earlier this month. Keane coaches with the Republic of Ireland and is pictured ahead of a Euro 2016 qualifier in Germany . Keane worked alongside Paul Lambert at Aston Villa during the first part of the season . They have now decided to bring him to court.

The small foam pieces used to protect fragile goods in boxes could soon power your phone thanks to a battery breakthrough. Researchers have developed a way of turning the so-called 'packing peanuts' into carbon, which can then be added to the types of lithium batteries used in everyday gadgets. During tests the packing peanut-based batteries could store 15 per cent more power than current technology - and they even outperformed similar batteries made of graphite. Scroll down for video . Researchers have developed a way of turning so-called 'packing peanuts' (pictured) into carbon, which can then be added to the kinds of lithium batteries in everyday gadgets. During tests the packing peanut-based batteries could store around 15% more power than current technology . This breakthrough was made by Dr Vilas Pol, Dr Vinodkumar Etacheri and their colleagues at Purdue University. They presented their findings at the National Meeting and Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS). The researchers began by baking the packing peanuts at around 600°C (1,100°F) to create blocks of black carbon. These blocks were then flattened into microsheets and nanoparticles, which in turn were added as anodes to lithium batteries. These sheets had a lithium-ion storage capacity of 420 mAh per gram. By comparison, an iPhone 6 battery has a total storage capacity of 1810mAh and weighs 0.9oz (28 grams), while the theoretical capacity of graphite is 372 mAh/g. This means the packing peanut technology could make batteries smaller and lighter, yet more powerful. Typically researchers make similar microsheets using temperatures as high as 2,200°C (4,100°F), meaning Dr Pol's method uses less energy and is more environmentally friendly. Dr Pol got the idea to turn these peanuts into nanoparticles and microsheets when he was taking delivery of new equipment for his lab. 'I looked at the packing peanuts and thought that while we are exploring "green" technologies, we should not be harming the environment by throwing them away,' he said. The researchers began by baking the packing peanuts at around 600°C (1,100°F) to create blocks of black carbon.

The lithium ions move between the electrodes during charging and discharging and the researchers said

Summary: The discovery was made by Dr Vilas Pol and at Purdue University . Packing peanuts are the small foam pieces used in packaging . Dr Pol's team baked the peanuts at 600°C (1,100°F) to create carbon blocks . These blocks were flattened to make microsheets and nanoparticles . Such sheets and particles can then be added as anodes in lithium batteries .
