Mum's amazing transformation from Buddha to beauty as she hula hooped herself thin

www.mirror.co.uk
Posing for a photo beside a Buddha on a girls’ night out, Barbel Williamson felt as if she and the golden statue could be twins . After years of comfort eating, compounded by losing her husband to cancer , Barbel tipped the scales at 20st and, because of the rolls of Buddha-like flab around her middle, she only just squeezed into a dress size 24. Haribo sweets and family packs of crisps were always too hard for her to resist and she’d graze on junk food through the day and eat her way through one packet of biscuits after another at night. She’d become so big she struggled to walk. But fast forward two years and Barbel, 52, has shed 10 stone – half her weight – dropped eight dress sizes and now has a figure women half her age would envy – and it’s all down to hula hooping. “It’s brilliant that I’ve found an exercise I love, and weekly hula-hooping classes have helped me slim down at the same time,” says Barbel. North News Barbel Williamson before her weight loss with her late husband “My mindset has changed completely and I feel so much fitter and healthier. "Now I make all my meals from scratch with fresh ingredients. I go to a weighted hoop class every week and I have my own hoop at home. “It’s addictive and whenever I get a few minutes spare I hoop, especially when I’m watching the telly. “When I first went to a class I spent the whole time ­dropping the hoop and picking it up again. “Now I’ve cracked it and can do it for 15 minutes without stopping. I’ve even learnt how to do squats while spinning.” Barbel was a size 12 when she met and married her husband Michael aged 18, and being happy and content, she didn’t think about the calories she consumed. Barbel Williamson before she completely transformed her body thanks to hula hooping Their evening meals consisted of fish fingers and chips and other processed food which Barbel could put in the oven. When their two children, Janine, now 31, and Graham, 27, came along, Barbel finished off their leftovers too. “I was a stay-at-home mum when the kids were little and I’d pick food off their plates when they’d eaten enough,” she says. “I’d skip breakfast, and snack all day on biscuits, crisps and sweets right up until it was time to go to bed. “The children were studious so I managed to avoid anything active and strenuous when they were young.” By the time she was 30, Barbel weighed 15 stone and was a size 18/20. Over the next couple of years, she managed to lose six stone through healthy eating, but she put the weight back on by her late 30s and went back up to 17st. Barbel Williamson hula-hooping, which has helped her shed half her body weight “I was a typical yo-yo dieter because as soon as I lost some weight it wasn’t long before I put it all back on again,” she says. “In my early 40s, I lost another eight stone, and although I felt much better about myself, I didn’t have the willpower to keep it off. I didn’t do any exercise either.” Barbel, an employment adviser, was 43 when Michael was diagnosed with stomach and liver cancer, and the stress took its toll. She became her husband’s full-time carer until he passed away three months later at just 49. “It was a very difficult time because Michael’s illness was very sudden,” she says. “I did lose a bit of weight because I was so worried, but when he passed away, I used food to help ease my grief. “I felt depressed and lost without him. Eating made me feel that bit better. North News Barbel Williamson is completely transformed “I’d never prepared a healthy meal because I didn’t enjoy cooking, so I used to shove quick and easy ready-meals in the oven and snack on sweets. "Haribo sweets were my downfall and I could eat one giant bag after another. “The extra weight put a strain on my joints and I suffered with constant back pain. "When I was at my ­heaviest, I suffered heart ­palpitations, and going on a short walk left me struggling for breath. “And while friends bought new outfits for nights out, I had to wear the same clothes ­every time and they’d have to walk slowly just so I could keep up.” Then, on her monthly girls’ night out in Newcastle, they passed the Buddha as they headed for the bus station and couldn’t resist the photo opportunity. “But when I saw the photo of myself with it, I felt like everyone else looked lovely except me – I was like the ugly ­relative in my elasticated trousers and tunics,” she says. Amazon Barbel admits her weakness was Haribo sweets “I once loved clothes shopping but I struggled to find anything to fit in high street shops so I had to order some baggy outfits online.” With her 50th birthday approaching in November 2013, Barbel arranged a trip to London to celebrate with her children, but she had to stop to rest every few minutes. “It was on the trip I realised that I needed to do something about my weight,” she says. “I had no energy and I knew the kids were really worried about me. They could see I was seriously putting my health at risk.” Barbel decided to take action. “I tried going to a gym first but I couldn’t keep up with the walking pace on the treadmill,” she says. “I was pouring with sweat after just a few minutes which was humiliating. “A colleague at work was also wanting to get fit so we looked together online for something fun because I knew I would stick to it.” In November 2014, she came across a hula-hooping class near her home in Morpeth, ­Northumberland, run by a company called Powerhoop. Powerhooping is where the hoop is larger and heavier than a traditional hoop so it uses your muscles up to 70% more. The class also combines a number of arm and leg ­exercises in addition to ­spinning the hoop around the trunk of the body – a 45-minute class burns approximately 640 calories. “Although I’d owned a hula hoop as a child, I was never very good at it,” says Barbel. “Powerhooping sounded like great fun, but because I was so overweight, I ­struggled to keep the hoop around my midriff and kept dropping it. "It had been 10 years since I’d even seen my waist so balancing the hoop around my middle was tricky to get the hang of. “But the instructor was really patient with me, and with only 10 people in the class, I didn’t feel intimidated. “I refused to give up and soon I managed to hoop for a full minute without stopping. GETTY Barbel has swapped biscuits for healthy snacks "I could even choose how hard I wanted to push myself because the hoop has different weighted inserts which slot inside. "It was a brilliant feeling and I was burning hundreds of calories while having fun at the same time. I was so glad I’d persevered.” Barbel also signed up to Slimming World classes and swapped ready-meals and sweets for lean meat and ­vegetables. She managed to lose a stone in the first four weeks. She says: “After just a couple of months I noticed my tummy was looking more toned and I had bags more energy. "My attitude towards food and exercise changed completely and I enjoyed the weekly classes so much that I bought my own hula hoop so I could work out at home. It was addictive.” By January this year, Barbel was down to a size 8/10 and had lost half her weight, weighing 10st 2lb. “As soon as I saw a ­difference in my figure it motivated me to keep going with the healthy eating and hula-hooping,” she says. “After a couple of months of my new regime my clothes felt loose and I was developing an hourglass figure which felt really amazing. “When I was big I’d been ­borderline diabetes but now I’m a healthy weight, it’s cleared up by itself.” Barbel, who is single, says she now feels like a completely different person, adding: “I’m full of energy, feel healthy, and I have a new attitude towards food and exercise. “I’ve found a new lease of life and I’m finally the person I’ve always wanted to be. "I eat healthily but I do let myself have the odd treat because I know I’ll be able to work it off with the hoop. “It’s the little things that mean the most, like being able to walk straight into a shop and choose anything I like. “The hula-hooping definitely keeps me young and I never miss a class. My only regret is not picking it up sooner.”

David Cassidy almost had his face bitten off Singer David Cassidy almost had his face bitten off by a llama at the BBC’s One Show studios. The Partridge Family star puckered up to the tempestuous beast as he appeared alongside a family of llamas on the BBC1 show. But the individual animal was not amused, and snapped at 66-year-old David - clashing its jaws inches from his face. Speaking to celebrate the show’s 10th anniversary, host Matt Baker reveals the “hairy” moment came when David leaned in towards the animal, famed for its vicious spitting. Matt, 38, reveals: “He was kissing the llama saying: ‘Oh aren’t you lovely.’ We looked on in horror telling him: ‘No! Don’t do that! Don’t do that!’ TNE The llama was not amused “The llama lurched at his face – he got out of the way just in time. He almost had his face bitten off.” As the presenters went through their most challenging moments throughout the past decade, they also revealed Sandi Toksvig had a near miss with a vulture. Matt reveals: “That was pretty hairy. She jumped a mile. He adds: “We’ve had lots of animals going to the toilet on us.” The One Show will become a decade old next week - and owes its success to being like an “over-the-garden-wall” chat, according to the hosts.

Hosted by Alex Jones, 39, and Matt, the show will revisit a story each night this week selected from some of the films broadcast over 2,000 episodes during the Show’s ten years. Alex said of the long-running series: “One, It reflects the day that Britons have had. "Second, it ends the day for young people and starts the evening for grown-ups. "It covers such a vast array of topics sometimes in one programme. BBC Matt Baker says he's looking forward to the 10th anniversary celebrations "Nothing lasts any more than three or four minutes – if you don’t like this subject you may well like the next. Matt said: “It just sums up absolutely the perfect over-the-garden-wall conversation – the kind of conversation you’d have in a pub or some other community place. "You’re flitting around all sorts of different subjects. You’re discussing them and then you move on. "And to me, that’s how we in Britain like to have our conversations with people that we meet in our communities. "So, we’re fizzing about one subject for a moment, then we’re fizzing about something completely different. Then someone else comes over and says “have you heard about this?” Matt Baker and Alex Jones presenting 'The One Show' The pair said their highlights included interviewing Hilary Clinton, Dolly Parton and Kevin Spacey, and singing with Stevie Wonder. The pair have presented the majority of shows together since 2011 when Matt joined. Alex has been on the sofa since 2010. Asked to describe each others’ qualities, Alex said: “Matt is an all-rounder, very trustworthy, very reliable. "Somebody you’d want as your best friend. A brilliant, brilliant person to work with. “ Matt said: “Alex will always find the good in you. She absolutely will. "She will always want to look at the brighter side of life. She’ll try and help in any way she can. “You experience a feeling of happiness whenever you work with her. "And we trust one another. We know where each other is going with stuff. We fill in each other’s blanks.”

Australian who killed British girl and went on run 14yrs flicks finger as judge takes pity on HIM

Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video An Australian driver who killed a British girl in a car crash - leaving her to die in a pool of blood then went on the run for 14yrs has been taken pity on by a judge as he finally faced justice. Marine biologist Arabella Stuart, from Essex, was 26 and on her way to the Great Barrier Reef when she died on the Pacific Highway in Karuah in New South Wales on January 13 2001. The Toyota Supra driven by Michael Collins, now 39 - who was sleep deprived and had smoked marijuana - crossed to the wrong side and smashed head-on into her camper van when he fell asleep at the wheel. Three others were seriously injured, including the back-seat passenger of Collins’ car, who had to have his left arm amputated below the shoulder. Instead of facing justice at the time, Collins discharged himself from hospital and fled to Turkey - under the name of Metin Yuceturk - where he started a new life; got married, had children and started a business. Arabella Stuart, a marine biologist, was loving experiencing the nature of Australia when she was killed Collins slipped back into Australia undetected in around 2012 - but for almost four years failed to hand himself into authorities as he worked as a labourer. He was finally captured by chance last October when police discovered the outstanding warrants when he was held for 'acting suspiciously'. In June this year he pleaded guilty to dangerous driving occasioning death - and three counts of dangerous driving occasioning grievous bodily harm - and he was released on bail. Other serious driving charges were set to be taken into account when he was finally sentenced in the early hours of this morning. Despite the seriousness of the case in question yesterday Collins flicked the finger at waiting reporters outside the court when he was finally to face justice - to the dismay of Arabella's family who had flown in to Australia for the hearing. Then they were further shocked when the judge appeared to take pity on him. Judge Leonie Flannery said Collins was sorry for what had happened - allowing him a 25% discount on his sentence for the “utilitarian value” of his guilty plea. Ms Flannery said: “I do accept that he is remorseful and is taking responsibility for his behaviour, albeit belatedly." 39-year-old Michael Collins was unlicensed, sleep deprived and had marijuana in his system when he smashed into a van, claiming the life of a British tourist. She also found Collins was unlikely to re-offend - and said he would need help with post-traumatic stress disorder and depression when he is released. She she handed him a 30-month jail term in Newcastle District Court - meaning he will be eligible for parole in 18 months. The day before there had been emotional scenes during sentencing proceedings at Newcastle District Court - as Arabella's surviving sister and father who had flown to Australia to give evidence explained how devastating her death had been. Arabella Stuart "It's impossible to encapsulate the effect of my daughter's death," Arabella's father John Stuart told the court. Her sister Kate Stuart said: "The cavalier behaviour of the driver was too painful to deal with. "The hardest thing is why the driver never contacted our family and instead, ran away to escape overseas, which made an unbearable situation harder." Bianca Reddin - who was travelling behind Arabella's van when the crash happened - told the court of the deep pain she felt as she held her hand as her life slipped away. She said: "I can't describe the significance to be with a person and comfort them in their last moments. "It is something that I carry everyday." Collins wept in court as Ms Reddin explained that the crash had taken a heavy toll on her life - and she remains deeply traumatised by what she experienced. She added: "The smell of petrol, blood and heat in the air never leaves me in the summer time." Arabella's mother died from cancer several years ago - her condition her family claim made worse by losing her youngest daughter. Ms. Stuart, 44, from Surrey, told Mirror Online today that she and her 72-year-old father John, a retired English teacher, are extremely disappointed "at the very lenient sentence of 18 months" alongside all of the other very serious injuries he caused in the crash to the three other people involved. Arabella's sister Kate and their father John Stuart travelled to Australia for the hearing Kate said: "Collins had been driving illegally as a disqualified driver and he was also very sleep deprived having not slept at all the night before - and had cannabis in his system. "We were warned not to focus on the length of his sentence and the journey for myself and my father to Australia was more about some much needed closure... "...an opportunity to stand in the same room as Collins and let him who the person actually was he had so carelessly killed and also how much the last 15 years of him not serving any time in prison at all, had deeply hurt our family alongside the actual loss of her life." Arabella's mother died broken-hearted at the loss of her youngest daughter The pair said Collins' arrest out of the blue had come as a shock. The memories that have arisen since had been "tough" they added - as well as the journey to Australia to face the court to see justice - but they appreciated the experience of finally visiting the crash site. Music publicist Ms Stuart said: "The journey to Australia has been very tough for (my father) physically and emotionally. "We had never made the journey over to the crash site in those early years as we kept hoping he would be caught meaning we would be going over anyway. "Then my mother got sick with breast cancer and was ill for several years before dying. The Stuart family felt it important to communicate to Collins the pain he had caused "I personally think she died due to the stress and pain of losing her youngest daughter - but we weren’t allowed to mention this in court. "Although no prison sentence will ever bring Arabella back and so we are trying not focus on the length of the sentence. "I think it sends a irresponsible message out to the community in Australia - that if someone commits a serious crime and manages to run away from it then they may received a diminished sentence at a later date should they happen to get caught."

Manchester United player ratings: How did Jose Mourinho's stars perform against Hull?

Late goals and late wins were a hallmark of Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson - and now they're at it under Jose Mourinho. Marcus Rashford's stoppage-time strike earned the Red Devils three points at Hull as United recorded a 1-0 victory. The England striker was introduced from the bench - but how did he and his teammates perform in the club's third straight Premier League victory? Here are the scores on the doors, courtesy of Rob Dawson from the Manchester Evening News... De Gea Had very little to do apart from watch one or two free-kicks fly wide of his post. Needed the odd catch and kick to stay warm. 6 Action Images via Reuters De Gea had a quiet evening Valencia Fast becoming United's key attacking outlet. Will face bigger tests defensively but good going forward again. 7 Shaw Saved United a goal in the first half by out-muscling Robert Snodgrass at the back post. Defended well all night. 7 Bailly Solid at the back but dived in once or twice when he didn't need to. Can be happy with a clean sheet in challenging conditions. 7 Action Images via Reuters Bailly once again proved reliable at centre-half Blind Had a good first half, especially in the air as Hull tried to test him against Abel Hernandez. Had a very good game in difficult conditions. 8 Fellaini Walked a tightrope after being booked in the first half but was disciplined afterwards. Another quietly important performance in midfield. 7 Pogba United's best player in the first half when he drove them forward. Quieter after the break but still covered a lot of ground and looked most likely to score before Rashford's goal. 8 REX/Shutterstock Pogba looked the most likely to break the deadlock before Rashford's winner Mata Worked hard on the right but it wasn't a surprise when he was replaced with Rashford midway through the second half. 6 Martial Barely got a kick in the first half and last action was a limp shot that skidded well wide. Looks tired after a long summer with France. 5 Rooney Lucky to stay on when Mourinho brought on Rashford and Mkhitaryan in the second half but did really well to create the chance for Rashford to score the winner. 6 Action Images via Reuters Rooney set up the last-gasp goal Ibrahimovic Had two chances to put United in front in the first half. A frustrating evening when nothing he did seemed to come off. 6 Substitutes Mkhitaryan (for Martial, 57): Injected some much-needed energy. 7 Rashford (for Mata, 69): Scored a very late winner and impressed. 8 Smalling (for Rooney, 90): Too late to mark. Not used: Romero, Young, Schneiderlin, Herrera.

Not a fan? Louis Walsh slams Kanye West's ego and Kim Kardashian's 'big arse'

He's never been shy about expressing his dislike for certain people - Cheryl, anyone? But now Louis Walsh has taken aim at probably the most famous couple on the planet - Kanye West and Kim Kardashian . The X Factor judge , who returned to the panel Saturday night after being replaced last year, can't seem to comprehend the fascination with the couple, especially Kim and her famous derriere. When asked what he thinks of the pair, Louis didn't mince his words.

Arsene Wenger has hailed new signing Lucas Perez as 'outstanding' after the Spaniard's move to Arsenal was confirmed. The 27-year-old forward's £17million switch to the Emirates has been made official and Wenger is delighted to have his man. Perez hit 17 goals in 36 outings for Deportivo in La Liga last term, and scored in his only appearance of this season so far. But Wenger believes there is much more to Perez's overall game than goals, and is looking forward to seeing him in action for his side. “He’s not only a goalscorer, he’s a guy who combines well with partners, who can give a final ball and makes good runs," he told Arsenal.com. Getty Perez has joined for £17million Reuters Wenger has hailed the new signing "He’s got a good eye for goal and had an outstanding season last year.” Following the arrival of Shkodran Mustafi, Perez looks likely to be the final signing Arsenal will make before the transfer window closes at 11pm on Wednesday evening. Wenger said: "They (Mustafi and Perez) will integrate into the team now and we will help them join squad. "We had to work very hard to get signings done but we have not got any plans for anyone else now."

The parents of Madeleine McCann have dumped their spokesman in a bid to reduce spiralling costs. Kate and Gerry axed PR expert Clarence Mitchell after nine years as they face uncertainty over the future of the £12million investigation – codenamed Operation Grange – into the disappearance of their daughter. Kate and Gerry have just five more weeks of guaranteed Government funding towards the search. The couple have vowed to use money from the official fund to continue the probe themselves, saying: “We will continue to do everything we can to help find our daughter. Our hope and resolve continues.” Mr Mitchell was told his “services were no longer needed” in an email from heart doctor Gerry, who explained the family had to “cut costs”. PA Kate McCann and Gerry McCann with their spokesman Clarence Mitchell The Tory MP hopeful and former BBC journalist, who has helped keep Maddie’s disappearance in the global spotlight, was said to be “hurt” but respects their “more pressing agenda”. The fund stands at £480,000, but the McCanns face a £434,000 libel bill to ex-Portuguese police chief Goncalo Amaral. It is the first time since the three-year-old vanished from a holiday apartment in Portugal’s Praia da Luz, in May 2007, that the family have not had an official spokesman.

Officers have said there is now only one lead “worth pursuing”.

Chelsea move for James Rodriguez rejected by Real Madrid president Florentino Perez
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
Disappointment: Rodriguez has failed to hit the heights expected in Madrid Chelsea have made an audacious attempt to sign Real Madrid star James Rodriguez. Real Madrid have blocked the move as president Florentino Perez would prefer to cash in on a £60million permanent deal for the Colombian forward who has become a bit-part player. But it is understood that James would be open to a move to the Premier League and his family are particularly keen on relocating to England. Chelsea are anxious to strengthen their squad before the window shuts and Real Madrid may still decide to offload James after signing him for £65million in 2014. But any deal or potential loan could go down to the wire with several clubs - including Chelsea and Juventus - now watching developments closely.

When I answer these questions, it feels as though I want him to leave. "But he is a Real player and he is under contract. It's true that he has played less minutes and that can be a problem. I always try to make every player feel important. James is the same as the others.”

In 1989, Gilda tragically died from ovarian cancer. She was just 42. A few years later, Gene penned an emotional essay where he revealed how deeply her death affected him. “If I need to cry or think a little bit, I’ll go over to the cemetery where she is buried to make sure the tree our friends planted is doing well and the grounds are kept up. "I think one of the things that would make Gilda happiest is if Sparkle, her Yorkshire terrier, pee-peed right on top of her grave. One for Mama. She’d laugh," he shared with People magazine.

Marcus Rashford is said to have been left "devastated" after a thief 'snatched' his £20,000 Rolex. The 18-year-old Manchester United and England star went trampolining with family and friends earlier this week and asked a staff member to put his watch in a safe. However, he forgot to collect it when he left Jump Nation in Manchester and, when the teenager realised later on and returned to pick it up, he was reportedly informed that somebody else had been given the watch after claiming to be a member of his family. A source told the Sun: “Marcus is devastated by the loss of his watch. "He bought it for himself and one of his first big purchases. He’s a sensible lad who has his feet on the ground. The Rolex was a treat to himself for his breakthrough season. John Peters The 18-year-old has reportedly been left devastated by the theft “What’s made it all the more upsetting is that someone has apparently pretended to be a family member to take it.” A 22-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of fraud, it is claimed. Rashford earns a basic £25,000-a-week salary after signing a contract extension until 2020 in May. Matthew Peters/Man Utd via Getty Rashford extended his United contract until 2020 in May The United youth product was a revelation for the club last season, scoring nine goals in 23 appearances.

Ranieri said Schmeichel was scheduled to have the surgery this week even before Saturday's events Kasper Schmeichel will undergo a hernia operation on Monday. But fears that the Leicester keeper might face a long term lay-off have been quelled by Foxes boss Claudio Ranieri. The champions hope stalwart Schmeichel will be ready for a recall after the international break. The Denmark international waved to the bench asking to be substituted early in the second half of Saturday's 2-1 home win over Swansea after rushing from his area to make a clearance. Summer signing Ron-Robert Zieler replaced him to make his debut for the club. Ranieri revealed afterwards that Schmeichel has been nursing a hernia problem for a few weeks and that he was always scheduled for surgery on Monday, regardless of him pulling up during the match. “Kasper has played for the last month with a little hernia problem and on Monday he will have an operation," said the Italian.

Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin was not happy with his side’s showing in the opening 45 minutes at the King Power Stadium. He said: “I think the result is correct as Leicester played well, in the first half they played very very well. In pictures — Leicester beat Swansea for their first win of the season: “In the first half we didn’t play well but in the second half something we change. They scored another goal but we played higher and with more aggression and intensity. “I was worried in the first half but in the second half we had more courage. I tell the players at half-time the game is not finished.”

www.mirror.co.uk
Arrow actor Stephen Amell has given fans what they wanted - more information about his much anticipated film Code 8. The movie has taken off on social media with fans getting behind the crowdfunded movie. Stephen and cousin Robbie Amell (The Flash and The Babysitter) have teamed up with Chris Pare and Art Chong to produce the film. Now the image shows the screenplay will be written by Chris Pare and the story will be by Jeff Chan. The team have already given us a tease of what's to come with a ten-minute short film directed by Chan. They raised $1,720,111 on Indiegogo, in a fundraising bid which ended in April, with the site confirming the movie is the highest crowd-funded film of 2016 on any platform. Code 8 will be filmed in Los Angeles early next year and stars Stephen Amell (Arrow and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Aaron Abrams, Chad Donella (from Scandal) and Alfred Rubin Thompson. Chan will produce, while the Amell cousins will be executive producers. What's it about? Code 8 Code 8 is a sci-fi movie out next year “Instead of being billionaire superheroes, most ‘specials’ live in poverty and resort to crime, forcing the police to become more militarized,” the synopsis said. “The story follows a young man with special powers (Robbie Amell) struggling to find work as a day laborer. "After a dispute over payment, he finds himself in a confrontation with a police officer (Sung Kang) and the autonomous robots backing him up.” People can't wait Understandably fans are quite excited.

Oliver Stone reveals who REALLY killed John F Kennedy after deathbed confession
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
Oliver Stone says he was told JFK murder was an inside job John F Kennedy’s assassination was carried out by the secret service, according to a deathbed confession given to the veteran film director Oliver Stone. The famed Hollywood movie maker claims he was told the US President ’s murder in 1963 was an inside job by a man who said he was a former member of the presidential security detail. It is the first time the conversation has been revealed. Known only as ‘Ron’, the man told Stone that ‘somebody from his own team… had fired on the President’. The man, who was dying of cancer, said he had only ever told his son but wanted to reveal what he know before passing away. How Daily Mirror reported on JFK's assassination Initially, the messages were given to Stone in a series of secret notes before the two men finally met. The director, whose film JFK starring Kevin Costner was sympathetic to conspiracy theories, said he was initially extremely sceptical about the claims. The Warren Commission into Kennedy’s death ruled it had been carried out by former US marine Lee Harvey Oswald from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. They concluded he shot the President while travelling in an open limousine through Dallas in November 1963.

However many have doubted the commission’s findings believing others were involved. But after meeting with Ron, Stone said he believed he was telling the truth. BPM MEDIA Director Stone revealed he was convinced by the details within the account As a former marine in Vietnam, the director said he was left convinced by the “military jargon” and intricate details within an account that he describes as “plausible” and “very authentic”. Stone revealed the man’s confession for the first time to Matt Zoller Seitz, who is the author of a forthcoming book on the Oscar-winning screenwriter whose films include Platoon. When asked why Stone had kept it secret so long Seitz said: “I think it was because he trusted me, and also because both the father and the son have been dead for a while. “Nobody has ever heard this story. I’m the first person.” In his book, Seitz tells how Stone initially received Ron’s messages. The director told him: “He came to me through a series of weird letters through post office boxes. Getty Images JFK was shot dead in Dallas in 1963 “Everything would go to a PO Box, and he’d locate it from offshore, from Bermuda.” Then detailing the moment they met in a hotel in Rochester, New York, Stone recalled: “He said he didn’t want money or recognition. He said something like, ‘I want you to know this is from my conscience’. “The scenario he laid out was very practical. It’s the way I would do it, if [I] were going to do something like that. “You kill the President, and your cover is security, and if the sniper or snipers who kill the President are hidden in with the guys who are supposed to protect him, guys who have no knowledge of this plot… It makes a lot of sense. “And his memory of it was so technical, filled with military jargon, details about radio communications right after the shots.” The book, titled The Oliver Stone Experience, will be published on September 13 by Abrams & Chronicle books.

His death was confirmed today by his nephew Jordan Walker-Pearlman saying he died of complications from Alzheimer’s disease at his home in Stamford, Connecticut. The news of his death led to an outpouring of grief from Hollywood with his friend Mel Brooks leading the tributes. The director said: “Gene Wilder - one of the truly great talents of our time. He blessed every film we did with his magic & he blessed me with his friendship.” Rex Rex The Producers, Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder Film and Television Getty Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka in 'Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory' Rob Lowe wrote: “Gene Wilder as one of my earliest heroes. Blazing Saddles, Willy Wonka, are CLINICS on comic acting. Sad to hear of his passing.” Russell Crowe said: “I saw Blazing Saddles 7 times at the cinema with my school friends . George St. Cows outside. Gene Wilder, you were a genius. Rest in Peace.” Oscar-nominated Juliette Lewis added: “Thank you for the beautiful words”.

Friends say he never really got over her passing from ovarian cancer in 1989 and Wilder only worked infrequently after she died. He married again in 1991 to Karen Boyer. He returned briefly to television in the US with the sitcom “Something Wilder,” in 1994 and won an Emmy in 2003 for a guest role on “Will & Grace.” Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka in 'Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory' Teri Garr and Gene Wilder in Young Frankenstein in 1974 Born Jerome Silberman in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in June 1933, he began acting at the age of eight when his mother was diagnosed with rheumatic fever. The family’s doctor told the then schoolboy to "try and make her laugh” to take her mind off the pain she suffered. After studying drama for two years when he turned 13 his mother Jeanne Silberman felt her son's potential was not being fully realised and sent him instead to Black-Foxe, a military institute in Hollywood. Following his graduation after studying Communication and Theatre Arts at the University of Iowa, he was accepted at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in Bristol in 1955. But his time in the UK was short lived after he was drafted into the army the following year. He adopted Gene Wilder for his professional name at the age of 26, explaining, "I had always liked Gene because of Thomas Wolfe's character Eugene Gant in Look Homeward, Angel and Of Time and the River. And I was always a great admirer of Thornton Wilder.” Following a short stint off-Broadway in 1961 Wilder won critical acclaim in Graham Greene’s comedy The Complaisant Lover.

It led to the actor being cast in the 1967 film The Producers, in which he played the hysterical Leo Bloom, an accountant lured into a money making scam by a theatrical producer played by Zero Mostel. Directed and written by Brooks, the film brought Wilder an Oscar nomination as best supporting actor spring-boarding him into more Hollywood roles.

Now established in Hollywood Wilder achieved further stardom in two other Brooks comedies, both in 1974. Western spoof “Blazing Saddles” and a wacko adaptation of Mary Shelley’s famous book entitled “Young Frankenstein,” in which Wilder portrayed the mad scientist with his signature mixture of hysteria and sweetness both enjoyed box office success.

Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video The X Factor has barely been back in our lives for more than two days and already it seems we may have a cute new couple from the show. Singers Ryan Lawrie and Emily Middlemas have shared pictures of themselves together that have got fans of the show questioning the status of their relationship. While neither party has come forward and said that they're dating, the snaps of the pair together look like more than just friends. A photo posted by Emily Middlemas (@emilymiddlemas_) on Jun 11, 2016 at 2:09pm PDT A photo posted by Emily Middlemas (@emilymiddlemas_) on Jul 31, 2016 at 9:29am PDT In one of the posts on Emily's Instagram page she can be seen posing up extremely close to Ryan, who went through to Bootcamp after auditioning on Saturday night's show. One of her fans was as shocked as we were and asked if they were a couple, but got no reply. In another image of the duo together, they're less close but still near enough to raise suspicion about whether of not they've started dating. Syco/Thames/Dymond Is Ryan Lawrie dating Emily Middlemas? Syco / Thames / Dymond Emily Middlemas has posted a few pictures of her and Ryan on social media If Ryan and Emily are a couple, the showmance could do wonders for the viewing figures which have been disappointing so far. The X Factor received its lowest viewing figures in more than 10 YEARS, overnight data has revealed. The return of ITV's talent show was viewed by 6.8 million people on Saturday night - a drop of 800,000 compared to last year's first episode. Syco / Thames / Dymond Emily auditioned for X Factor in 2104 and again this year Syco/Thames/Dymond Ryan made it through to Bootcamp This represented a 34 per cent audience share, compared with the 2015 launch show which had initial overnight figures of 7.6 million and an audience share of 39 per cent. X Factor 's second series in 2005 premiered with 6.72 million viewers, meaning this year's effort got off to a bumpy start with its lowest audience. However, the new series' debut had a peak audience of 7.5 million, while last year's launch peaked at 7.9 million, leaving just a 400,000 discrepancy.

EastEnders fan-favourites Ben Mitchell and Jay Brown will be kidnapped by Paul Coker's killers later this week after their revenge plot goes horribly wrong. Things are heating up in Albert Square and the latest pictures from Walford show Phil Mitchell on the floor gasping for air after collapsing during a failed attempted to get his son back. Phil - who was warned by doctors to change his lifestyle and stop drinking after being diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver - will then be seen arguing with his family before his brother Grant returns to aide the dramatic rescue mission.

When Phil, played by Steve McFadden, collapses on the floor as Louise and Sharon implore him to leave finding Ben to Grant. In the next scene Grant insists that he'll find both Ben and Jay. BBC Grant returns! EastEnders have been staying tight-lipped on this storyline, with one insider simply teasing fans, saying "you'll just have to wait and see." Viewers saw Grant walk off into the distance on two weeks ago but as Ross Kemp has already let us know, he'll be on screens until the end of September . Speaking on The One Show, Ross explained that he'll be back in character with a storyline that'll see him making major moves all over Walford. "Three weeks in EastEnders. The episodes I'm in are split over the end of August and September," he said. "It's a very strong Mitchell storyline. It's the Mitchells back together!" BBC An insider also told Mirror Online that the dark adventures of Jay and Ben Mitchell will continue - but is this the end for one of them? As Jay struggles with his battle to overcome drugs and Ben tries to deal with the death of boyfriend Paul, the pair will rely on each other once more. "Just watch that space is all I can say," the insider told us. The mechanic was heartbroken when his boyfriend Paul Coker was murdered in a brutal homophobic attack and vowed to find and kill those responsible himself. BBC Will Phil be OK? But after his dad Phil, mum Kathy, best friend Jay and the other Mitchells rallied around him to help him through his pain, he agreed to let the police deal with the killers. Viewers know that Les, played by Roger Sloman, has been desperately trying to support his wife Pam with her grief following Paul's death, with Pam blaming Ben and barely being able to leave the house. It was recently confirmed that both Roger and Lin Blakley, who plays florist Pam, will be leaving the soap after a shake-up by the soap's new boss. BBC The decision not to renew their contracts is the first taken by the soap’s new executive producer Sean O’Connor, who joined from radio soap The Archers. The pair are likely to be given a big exit in which Les’s cross-dressing secret will finally be revealed to the rest of Albert Square . * EastEnders airs weeknights on BBC One

Mick Jagger has promised a five figure sum every month to the ­ballerina carrying his eighth child . Melanie Hamrick , 29, and the tot – due in December – will also have their house paid for, wherever she chooses to settle. The dancer, who has dated the Rolling Stones singer “casually” for two years, became pregnant during the band’s tour of South America earlier this year. But Sir Mick, 72 , has made it clear the couple are not serious. Instead he has given a string of legally binding assurances that their child will be provided for. Getty Mick Jagger will ensure Melanie and the child are well cared for It echoes his deal with Luciana Gim­­enez, the Bra­zilian mum of his love child Lucas – born in 1999 after the rocker’s fling behind the back of then girlfriend Jerry Hall. News of the baby – Sir Mick’s first for 17 years – emerged last month. The rock icon already has four children with model Jerry, as well as a daughter with ex-wife Bianca Jagger, a daughter with Marsha Hunt, and Lucas. Getty Jade Jagger is one of Mick's eldest children PA James Jagger Getty Elizabeth Jagger A source said: “Mick has always taken his responsibilities seriously, his child with Melanie will be no exception. “They’re not in a serious relationship but they’re both happy and remain very close. "This gives Melanie and the baby the assurances they need. She’ll get a substantial allowance and Mick will pay for housing wherever Mel­­anie decides is best.” PA Karis Jagger Getty Georgia May Jagger Getty Lucas Jagger It is understood the allowance could be up to 15,000 dollars monthly, until the child is grown up. Melanie lives in New York – but may move to Los Angeles, nearer Mick, or to Connecticut, close to family. The band are currently celebrating the success of their show Exhibitionism, ending next week at London’s Saatchi Gallery before opening in New York in November. Getty Gabriel Jagger Luciana said recently of Mick, worth £230million: “He loves all his kids, he’s so close to them all. Money can cause trouble if you give your kids too much. Happiness is from within.”

Alan Hawe pictured with sons Liam, Niall and Ryan, who he is accused of stabbing to death in a suspected murder-suicide This is the first picture of a teacher with the three sons he is suspected of slaughtering before stabbing his wife in a murder-suicide at the family home. Alan Hawe and wife Clodagh were found dead in the downstairs of the property by police before sons Liam, 13, Niall, 11 and six-year-old Ryan were discovered upstairs. Police are understood to believe Mr Hawe stabbed his wife and three children to death before turning the knife on himself. A worried relative raised the alarm before the bodies were found in Ballyjamesduff, Co Cavan, Ireland at around 10.45am on Monday morning. Police say the family had been seen in the local community yesterday and officers had 'no reason to suspect anything was untoward' prior to the incident. PA Five hearses took coffins from the family home PA The bodies of Alan and Clodagh Hawe and their sons, Liam, Niall and Ryan, were found this morning The Garda confirmed they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the five deaths. Assistant Commissioner John O'Disscoll told a press conference: "We believe all the answers are in that house and the most likely scenario is that one person in that house took the life of others. "Nothing had happened prior to this grim discovery which gave rise to the Garda having any suspicion anything was untoward." PA It is believed Mr Hawe, a primary school deputy principal, and his school teacher wife were discovered downstairs in the house near Ballyjamesduff PA One of the hearses leaves the scene at Oakdene following the tragedy Castlerahan National School, where Mr Hawe worked and the three boys went to school, released a statement expressing the shock of staff and pupils. It said: "At lunch time today we learnt of the tragic deaths the Hawe family. "This is a terrible tragedy for the family, our school and our community. We are deeply saddened by this event. Our sympathy and our thoughts are with the extended family and friends. "Alan was a valued member of our school staff and community. Niall and Ryan were pupils in our school and Liam was a past pupil. They were wonderful children who will be greatly missed by all who knew them. "Our school has implemented our Critical Incident Management Plan." Collins Photo Agency Police at the scene of the knife rampage, which has shocked locals Collins Photo Agency Tributes were today being paid to the family of five The principal of Castlerahan primary school, Anne Foley, where Mrs Hawe worked revealed that they heard the tragic news this afternoon. She said: "We learned this afternoon of the death of our colleague Clodagh Hawe. "This is a terrible tragedy for the families, schools and the communities involved. "We are deeply saddened by this event. Our sympathies and thoughts are with Clodagh’s family and friends. "Clodagh was a much loved and valued teacher in our school and will be greatly missed by all who knew her. " Locals said the father was believed to be from Co Kilkenny originally and was a deputy principal at a national school in Co Cavan. His wife was believed to be from Co Cavan. The family, who have all been named locally, were involved with the Gaelic Games Association (GAA) club. Google Streetview A press conference was held at Ballyjamesduff Garda Station PA The hearses were pictured leaving the scene today as an investigation got under way Paddy Smith, a local councillor, said the deaths have been very distressing to all who knew the family in the tight-knit community. "This has come as complete and utter shock to everybody in the area and everybody who knew the family because they were a very steady, hard working family," he said. "It is a complete shock, out of the dark, people are just unable to grasp or comprehend what has happened." Mr Smith added: "They are a very hard working and tight knit community, people just don't know what to say, they are shell shocked at this terrible tragedy." It comes as investigators have said they believe the family were most likely victims of a murder-suicide. Their bodies were discovered at the house in Oakdene Downs in the townland of Barconey at around 10.45am. Garda assistant commissioner John O'Driscoll said they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the deaths. "We believe all the answers are within that house - so therefore the most likely scenario is that one person in that house may have caused the death of the others," he said. "All the circumstances will be explored but as it stands at the moment that is the position." Mr O'Driscoll described the case as very sensitive. Investigating gardai have found no evidence that a firearm was used in the incident. A technical examination being carried out at the property - which has been sealed off as a crime scene - and follow up post mortem examinations are expected to give a more definitive answer as to the cause of the deaths. A number of objects found in the house are also being subjected to "detailed technical examination". The family had been mixing with the local community on Sunday and did not raise any suspicions as to what would later happen, Mr O'Driscoll told reporters. Ah jesus no, that's absolutely shocking. :( RIP to that poor family in Cavan. Dreadfully sad. — Chris Hardiman (@AJoyForever83) August 29, 2016 Dreadful reports emerging regarding deaths of family of five, incl three boys, in Ballyjamesduff, Cavan — Cormac O'Keeffe (@CormacJOKeeffe) August 29, 2016 "Nothing had happened prior to this grim discovery this morning that gave rise to anyone - including An Garda Siochana - having any suspicion that anything was untoward and this family were engaged with the community and seen yesterday," he said. "None of the activity and interaction with other people gave rise to any suspicion as to what was to happen." The alarm was raised shortly this morning after someone, thought to be a relative, called to the house but got no answer. Two officers dispatched to the scene from Monaghan Garda station gained entry to the house and made the grim discovery. Investigators are continuing to talk to neighbours and the extended family of the victims to piece together clues as to what happened.

www.mirror.co.uk
Every year we look forward to seeing Taylor Swift dancing in her chair at the MTV Video Music Awards. But this year, Taylor will be Shaking It Off somewhere else. The pop superstar is skipping tonight's ceremony, with sources close to the VMAs and Swift confirming to Mirror Celeb that she was never scheduled to attend. Taylor has not been nominated for any awards this time around. Her last album, 1989, was released in 2014 and last year she bagged three Moonmen. Buzz Foto/REX/Shutterstock Taylor Swift in New York, USA Getty Images for NARAS She also presented Kane West with the Video Vanguard Award, seeming to bury any Bad Blood between the pair, alluding to the infamous moment in 2009 when the rapper interrupted her acceptance speech at the VMAs. She said: "Kanye defines what it is to be a creative force in music, fashion and life, so to all the other winners tonight, I'm really happy for you, but I'm gonna let you finish..." Accepting his prize, Kanye said: "First of all, thank you, Taylor, for being so gracious. I often think back to the first day I met you also... If I had a daughter at that time, would I have grabbed that mic from someone else?" FilmMagic Kanye West jumped on stage in 2009 as Taylor Swift accepted her award for the 'Best Female Video' award FameFlynet What does Kanye have in store? But a lot has changed in 12 months, with Kanye reigniting their feud with his controversial song 'Famous'. In the track, Kanye refers to Taylor as "that b**ch". Kanye has been nominated for Video of the Year and Best Male Video for the track, which features naked replicas of 12 celebrities, including Taylor. The VMAs will kick off at New York's iconic Madison Square Garden tonight, with the ceremony being screened in the UK at 9pm on Monday night. Kanye has reportedly been given "free reign" to do what he wants with his four-minute performance slot. His wife Kim will also be presenting an award.

'Everyone was shuddering': Spooked visitors to cemetery see body under 'shroud' WAVING at them

www.mirror.co.uk
'It was just lying on the grass next to a grave and it wasn't moving so we all thought it was a dead body' Visitors to a cemetery were shocked when they thought they saw a body under a "shroud" WAVE at them - but all was not as it seemed. Jim Matthews, 47, was visiting the graveyard when he spotted the chilling sight and snapped a photo. The dad-of-three said: "Everyone was shuddering - you could see it was a body lying still under a blanket which looked just like a shroud. "Then everyone jumped when it lifted an arm and waved at people. "It was the middle of the afternoon and at first people thought it had been a burial where they hadn't got round to putting the body under the ground yet. "It was just lying on the grass next to a grave and it wasn't moving so we all thought it was a dead body" added the dad-of-three from Ashford, Kent. "It was a bit of a spooky sight, with it being a graveyard." The "corpse" - shrouded from head to toe in a brown blanket - had people gaping as they walked through St Mary's churchyard. WESSEX NEWS AGENCY The incident took place in St Mary's churchyard But the mystery was soon solved by another local resident, Steve Salter, who realised it was a rough sleeper who had decided to have an afternoon siesta among the gravestones. Steve, who took a photo at 3.30pm, said "It seems it was a rough sleeper taking refuge and having a kip in the churchyard but you should have seen the looks the sight was getting from passers by. "He was lying parallel with another gravestone and was completely covered by the blanket. "There were lots of people walking past at that time of day. "Several people went over to see if he was alright but he just waved his arms at them to go away. "At one point some bellringers even came out of the church and walked past him. "He was there for about an hour but then it started raining so he collected his stuff up and went."

Student 'partying heavily' previous evening kills man in head-on collision after falling asleep behind the wheel

www.mirror.co.uk
A man who had just completed a drink driving ban fell asleep at the wheel and killed a man after "partying heavily" the previous night. 21-year-old student Alisdair Grant caused a head-on smash with Gerry Lewis in East Ayrshire in March 2014. He had recently served a ban for drink driving at the time of the fatal crash. A court heard how the incident had a "profound" effect on the wife of the victim. Grant now faces a lengthy jail-term after pleading guilty to a charge of causing death by dangerous driving. The student was on the verge of tears as he was remanded in custody pending sentencing next month. Google A719 Waterside, where the incident took place The collision occurred on the A719 close to the Ayrshire village of Waterside. Grant, of Kilmarnock, was not long back on the road having been banned for a year in December 2012 for drink driving. He was behind the wheel of his brother's Fiat Punto despite feeling the effects of socialising the previous evening. Prosecutor Mark McGuire told the court: "Text messages recovered from his mobile phone sent that day indicate he had been partying heavily the night before. "Around two hours before the collision - in response to someone asking if he was fit to drive - he replied he thought he would be soon. "The texts made it clear that Grant was tired." Mr Lewis was meantime driving his Suzuki 4x4 in the opposite direction. The 54 year-old was with his wife Sarah to see his widowed mother in Glasgow. Spindrift Alisdair Grant was on the verge of tears in court The hearing was told as the two vehicles approached, Grant's Fiat drifted "without warning" into the path of Mr Lewis's car. The advocate depute went on: "From what Mrs Lewis could see, there was no attempt to break by Grant. "He had fallen asleep at the wheel." The smash caused "significant damage" to both cars. Mrs Lewis looked at her husband and immediately found he was badly hurt. Mr McGuire: "She shouted for help, pleading for people to assist her husband." Other drivers came to their aid before police and an ambulances crews arrived. The couple were initially trapped in the car. Mr Lewis had to be cut free from the wreckage, but he never recovered. Mr Lewis - who had worked for North Lanarkshire Council for 20 years - died due to chest and abdominal injuries. The court heard his loss has been "profound" for Mrs Lewis. Mr McGuire: "Gerry Lewis was a much loved husband and family man. His wife and and wider family miss him dearly." Judge Lord Boyd deferred sentencing for reports.

The Olympic gold medalist enjoyed his fourth evening of partying in just five days, hanging out with a group of beautiful women until the early hours of Saturday morning in central London. Continuing to celebrate his Olympic gold medals from Rio 2016, for the men's 100m, 200m and 400m relay, he started at Novikov restaurant in Mayfair, before heading to nightclubs in the West End. The 30-year-old sports star and the girls then arrived back at his hotel at 5am, with some of the women carrying roses as they made their way through the lobby and into a lift to his room. Splash Usain Bolt has plenty of golden reasons to celebrate Splash More beautiful women to keep the runner company Splash Night four out of five for the Olympic gold medalist It's been a busy week for Usain, who after celebrating his nine gold medals in Rio last Sunday, headed to London for a week of EPIC partying and club-hopping. He reportedly racked up a huge £12,000 bar bill when he partied at London's Libertine nightclub into the early hours on Wednesday. Bolt is said to have splashed the cash on 12 bottles of champagne which were worth £9,000 alone. Just like the previous few nights, he once again surrounded himself with a bevy of ladies and didn't leave the club until 5am. According to reports the star also splashed £6,000 at Tape nightclub on Tuesday night. Barcroft This mystery lady also joined the runner at his hotel Splash Is Usain ready for round five? Flynet These ladies didn't want the party to end There, he picked up the bar bill for his entourage and reportedly sipped just two glasses of Baileys liqueurs himself, before sexy dancing with a model. And just like Wednesday night, Usain was later spotted heading back to his hotel at around 4am with a string of ladies. Two women who met him at Soho's Cirque le Soir nightclub on Monday night revealed the athlete was having a great time. One 25-year-old, from Peckham, South East London told The Sun: "He didn't want the party to end so he took us back to his hotel. "At the club he got up and started rapping. I think he was just joking around because he knew the DJ. Xposure Usain Bolt is seen again in London with mystery female companions on Tuesday "At the end of the night a friend of ours said that he was having an after-party so we all just jumped in the taxi. There were lots of women in the cab," they added. Just 48 hours before landing in London, Bolt had been seen getting close to at least three different women in Rio. Usain decided to hit London rather than return to his native Jamaica after his triumph on the track, where he secured his place in history by achieving the triple, triple gold medal haul.

Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video This is the shocking moment a mum fled with her children from a horrific petrol station fire which set her car ablaze. Captured on CCTV video, the astonishing chain of events begins when a car reverses into a fuel pump . The impact knocks the pump over and it lands fully on a car which had been filling up. A woman who appears to be the car's driver dives into the back seat and rescues one child, putting him at a safe distance. She then goes back to the vehicle, which is already being engulfed in flames from the fallen pump, and rescues another child, then running away with them both and a man who gets out of the rear door after them. Live Leak The car is almost engulfed in flames within seconds of the crash drowning the pump The shocking footage of the incident, which took place in Farmington, Connecticut at about 6.45pm on Monday August 29, has been released by Farmington Police. The crash happened at the Food Bag/Citgo station on Main Street when, police say, a 70-year-old man backed his vehicle into a gas pump, causing the fire that ended up engulfing two cars. Police said the man mistakenly hit the accelerator pedal instead of the brake. Eyewitness Steve Delaura was in the car when the pump hit with his son and nephew, as the female driver was filling the car. Live Leak The footage captures the woman heading back to the car to get the second child out He told WFSB : "The first thing I saw was gasoline and an explosion on the passenger window. "I had to turn around and pull my son, who's two years old and my nephew who’s seven years old out of the car through the driver’s door that was also on fire," Delaura said. "So I just kinda threw them out of the car." "I would do anything for my son and my nephew," he added. Station attendants immediately hit an emergency button to shut off the fuel tanks. No injuries were reported.

Are you female and over 40? Could you be interested in a toyboy...? Cougars. Toyboys . It's hard to say either word without sniggering a little, right? Well, it turns out that the joke's on you if you haven't given dating across the years a try. A survey by website Toyboy Warehouse has found that 33% of those asked are having sex more than three times a week. The reason for this level of ? A new relationship with a more energetic, younger man! Toyboy Warehouse was founded by toyboy dater Julia Macmillian, with the aim of breaking the taboo surrounding age-gap relationships. Male daters on the site can only select a female match who is older than them, and women can only search younger. As a result, the average age difference between partners is 12 years. Over a third of those surveyed described average age gaps of 15 years between themselves and their sexual partners, and 52 of the 300 daters have had relationships with someone 20 years older or younger than them. One 31-year-old male who answered the survey described his average sexual partner as 33 years older than him. Toyboy Warehouse The survey has a heartening message for older female online daters Traditionally online dating can be tough for women over 40. It’s widely recognized that as singles get older, men are less likely to look for partners their own age. And so often older women can become the forgotten generation of online daters. 96% of those surveyed described using Toyboy Warehouse as having a positive effect on their sex lives. Of those who have come to the site following a divorce, as staggering 70% admit they have more sex now they are single than they did in their marriage. Over 60% of those answering the survey have sex more than once a more than once a month. A third of those surveyed have sex more than three times a week. The majority of women cited a new relationship with a more energetic, younger man as the cause for these changes. FilmMagic Not every cougar-toyboy relationship lasts forever, as Demi and Ashton found out The impact that dating younger men has had on its female members cannot be understated. One 39-year-old woman admitted she had never had sex before joining the site. In the last year she’s had 4 different sexual partners, all of whom she met on the site. A 48-year-old dater explained ‘I rarely had sex before’, and now has sex up to 22 times a month. She has had 21 different sexual partners since joining the dating site, and explains that the main thing she has found in online dating is ‘body confidence’. Confidence is a word which appears time and again in the survey. ‘I’m more confident with my body’, explains a 45-year-old, woman who has met three different men on the site. When asked what dating on Toyboy Warehouse means to her, another 45-year-old replied ‘I meet a lot more men this way and just have more of a laugh.’ Another member describes the effect of the site as ‘I went from being a bored, isolated divorcee … to a sexually charged older woman having lots of exciting dates with interesting young men.’ WENN Ah, Smith. Smith Jerrod. Good to see you again. Oh, and you too, Samantha. Yeah. Interestingly it’s not just the cougars who have found confidence in the site. Every single man who answered the questionnaire described more confidence with their sex life since they started dating older women. One 31 year-old male dater, who was also a virgin before he joined the site, now admits to having sex over 20 times a year. ‘My confidence has definitely improved since I started using the site.’ And the site isn’t just about sex. One 40 year-old woman, who has met ten different partners on Toyboy Warehouse attributes the site with ‘helping me work out what I want in a partner.’ Daters using the site sign up for a variety of reasons, from friendship, to a fling, to looking for a long-term relationship. Of those looking for a relationship, over 75% of members leave the site because they have found someone, and normally in less than 3 months. This year alone, over 200 members have contacted the site to personally thank the team for helping them meet their fiancé/ee.

The family was staying in an apartment in Amatrice when the terrifying quake struck. The youngster's parents were seriously injured and taken to different hospitals a staggering 40 miles away from each other by rescue teams. They have since been reunited and told of their son's tragic death.

The specific circumstances surrounding their deaths are currently unclear, but their two children, thought to be aged 12 and 14, survived the quake. A neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: "It's terrible news, so awful. I knew them all very well. "They were lovely. They were a lovely family. It's very hard to take in. "They were very warm and friendly, extremely good neighbours. It's just so awful to think of their children." She added: "I think Maria's father came from the village and was possibly born there.

"He was an entrepreneur and she was finance director for Children & The Arts." Marcos, a keen basketball player, is understood to be the teenage son of another family who were staying with the couple. His parents are thought remain in hospital, with his mum having undergone treatment for facial fractures and his dad, for a broken leg. Rieti Hospital director Pasquale Carducci said: "The British woman was brought here by rescue workers on Wednesday while her husband was taken to L'Aquila. "When we discovered he was there, we decided they would be happier together, so we decided to reunite them. "Since the man was less badly hurt, it was easier to bring him to her. We hope that they can be a support to each other." In a statement this afternoon, the Foreign Office said: "It is with sadness that we can confirm the deaths of Maria, 51, and Will, 55, Henniker-Gotley and Marcos Burnett, 14, in the earthquake in Amatrice, Italy on 24 July. "Their families have paid tribute to the tireless work of the Italian rescue workers and hospital staff and expressed their gratitude for the love and support they have received from the Italian people. "Their thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by the earthquake." Phil Harris / Daily Mirror The remains of the church in Casale Phil Harris / Daily Mirror Dust rises from Amatrice after a strong aftershock The statement comes as the death toll in the tragedy has risen to more than 250. The enormous quake struck a cluster of mountain communities 85 miles east of Rome as people slept, destroying hundreds of homes. A state of emergency has been declared in the areas affected and aftershocks have continued to strike, including one this morning. The aftershock hit the region at 6.28am local time. The US Geological Survey said it had a preliminary magnitude of 4.7. Italy's national geological institute, meanwhile, put the magnitude at 4.8. It was preceded by more than a dozen weaker aftershocks overnight and followed by another nine in the subsequent hour. The quake zone has experienced more than 500 aftershocks, some measuring 5.1, in the two days since the original pre-dawn quake on Wednesday.

Dozens of emergency workers with sniffer dogs have been seen clambering over piles of debris trying to find anyone still trapped, while cranes remove huge slabs of fallen masonry and trucks full of rubble leave the area every few minutes. "People like myself have lost everything, but at the same time the fact that we have survived means we have to move forward one minute at a time," said Alessandra Cioni, 45, who managed to crawl out of her crumpled house after the quake. Phil Harris / Daily Mirror Rescue workers digging for survivors in the mountain village of Arquata Del Tronto "We have been saved, not like half the people in this place who have lost their lives," she said, breaking down in tears. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said yesterdayy that a number of Britons had been "affected" by the earthquake. He said extra staff had been sent to the region to help provide support to affected Britons, while the Government has offered 'any assistance that we can' to the Italian authorities. He said: "My deepest sympathies are with the Italian people and everyone affected by the terrible earthquake that struck central Italy. REUTERS An injured person is carried away on a stretcher "The British Government has offered any assistance that we can to help with the recovery effort and I have spoken with Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni to express my condolences personally. "As the scale of the disaster has become clearer, we now know that a number of British nationals have been affected. "British embassy staff are in the region providing consular support, and we have deployed additional staff to support this effort." Yesterday, Mirror reporter Andy Lines, who is in the disaster zone, revealed how 13 or the 15 residents in a tiny hill-top hamlet were killed in the quake. There are only 20 houses in the ancient village of Casale - and many of them are – or were - centuries old. Only three survived Wednesday's disaster. Roberto Ravaglia, 43, a computer technician from Rome who saved the life of his mum Adele D'Angelo, 70, said: H “It’s true there are 13 dead in the village. The population is 15 but at the moment it’s the holidays so there are a lot more. "There's hardly any anti-seismic houses. Most of the houses are old some from the 1800s. “Our house which has collapsed was my great-grandfather’s house built in 1826. “I live in Rome but my father is from this village. My mother was the only person in the house when the earthquake struck. I was in Rome and drove here and dug her out with the neighbours. "She was blocked by masonry which had fallen all over the house. She managed to survive by a miracle. She stood vertically next to a bed post which created a hole for her to breathe. "She’s OK but in hospital."

Liverpool relations between Daniel Sturridge and Jurgen Klopp at new low after striker's Spurs 'death stare'
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
Where now for Sturridge and Klopp, with the summer transfer deadline just three days away? Daniel Sturridge's ­relationship with Jurgen Klopp was already stormy. After the player’s reaction to being double-snubbed at White Hart Lane on Saturday – and Klopp’s ­subsequent slap-down – it now looks broken beyond repair. Following his two goals for Liverpool in the League Cup at Burton last Tuesday, striker Sturridge was clearly hoping to start against Tottenham . But he was named only on the bench, and boss Klopp added insult to injury by sending on fellow forward Divock Origi for Philippe Coutinho in the 69th minute. That prompted a stony-faced “death stare”, which was picked up by the TV cameras and left viewers in no doubt what ­Sturridge felt about the decision. Sturridge did eventually get on the pitch, but not until the 88th minute of match that ended 1-1. And Klopp later offered him precious little comfort when asked about the incident. Video loading Click to play Tap to play The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video The German insisted he had no personal issue with the 26-year-old former Man City and Chelsea frontman, but warned he is well down the pecking order. Klopp said: “I can only pick 11 players for the start. "I make these decisions never against one player so I’m really happy that we have him and he will play, he will score and all will be good. “He has now made three games. He did not have a perfect pre-season. That’s how it is.” The Spurs spat marks a new low in the already-strained relationship between manager and player. After the Burton match, Sturridge voiced his frustration at being played out wide instead of in his favoured central role. Getty Sturridge scored twice and then spoke out at Liverpool's midweek League Cup win He said “I am a centre-forward”, and added that although he was ready to do a job for the team in a wide role, “that is not to say I am happy to do it.” Last season, Klopp risked ­upsetting his injury-plagued striker by stating he needed to play through pain rather than sit on the sidelines. Sturridge’s lack of game-time for Liverpool will not help his international career and, despite his huge talent, he is at an age where he cannot afford to be a bit-part player. To make matters worse, ­Liverpool fans turned on Sturridge on social media and Kop legend Graeme Souness claimed he has a “mountain to climb” to get back into the starting XI. In pictures — Tottenham 1-1 Liverpool: Klopp shrugged off Souness’ comments, but his decision to go without a natural centre-forward rather than use Sturridge sends a worrying signal that the player's future may lie elsewhere. And the Anfield boss remains adamant Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Coutinho are ahead of Sturridge in the queue to play up front — and that Origi was a better option as a substitute at White Hart Lane. He said: “A few other players had more pre-season. They played together. These guys up front played together. They’ve trained for the first day of pre-season together, so that’s an ­advantage. Liverpool FC via Getty Firmino has the central attacking role Sturridge wants — despite really being a midfielder Liverpool FC via Getty Mane's place looks safe having hit the ground running after £30m summer move Liverpool FC via Getty Even among the subs, Origi seems to be ahead of Sturridge in Klopp's thinking “Then, when it was still 1-0, we needed someone to come on for the counter-attack, that’s Divock, and ­unfortunately even though he was running we didn’t find him. "Nobody has real rhythm. A few players do have, a few don’t and then you have to judge for the moment. "But there’s no big mountain for him. It’s a good team, thank God. Hopefully we can make different line-ups for different games. “Daniel Sturridge is a wonderfully skilful player. But for this game, I made the decision for what we needed.”

Leicester are closing in on a staggering £51m double deal for Sporting Lisbon duo Islam Slimani and Adrien Silva . The champions have made a breakthrough in their bid to land the big-money pair who are now due to arrive at the King Power before tonight's 11pm deadline. Sporting Lisbon initially knocked back Leicester 's approaches to sign midfielder Silva and striker Slimani. But they have caved in after Leicester made them an offer they couldn't refuse for Algerian Slimani. Getty Sporting forward Slimani will cost £30m Meanwhile they admitted defeat in their bid to hold on to Euro 2016-winning Portuguese midfielder Silva after he made it clear he wanted to join Leicester. Leicester will smash their transfer record for the second time this summer to land Slimani for £30m following Ahmed Musa's £16m arrival from CSKA Moscow earlier this window. Getty Adrien Silva will set the Foxes back £21m Leicester upped their offer after having a £25m bid rejected. Slimani, 28, scored 32 goals in 42 games for club and country last season. Silva, 27, will cost £21m.

Incredible D-Day maps emerge 72 years after invasion showing detailed plans of Allies
null

www.mirror.co.uk
The charts were so detailed they contained almost the exact number and positions of mines It was the largest seaborne invasion in military history and helped to secure an Allied victory in World War II . And now 24 original maps drawn up just two weeks before the momentous D-Day operation are set to go to auction. The incredible find has come to light 72 years after the Normandy landings to show the incredible detail the Allies went to to ensure victory. The charts, marked 'Top Secret', were so detailed they contained almost the exact number and positions of mines, pill boxes and other defence works the Germans had laid as part of Hitler's Atlantic Wall. They were drawn to give the military commanders the most contemporary reports of the state of the five Normandy beaches. Individual houses along the coast that had been fortified and occupied by the Germans were also highlighted. The maps cover the areas of Normandy where Allied paratroopers dropped a few hours before the beach landings. BNPS The charts are marked 'top secret' and would have been drawn just two weeks before the assault Not only were roads, bridges and streams marked but even their length and width were noted. One of the maps covers 'Dog' section for Omaha Beach, which featured in the Steven Spielberg film Saving Private Ryan. The 1:25,000 or 2.5ins to 1 mile scale maps were colour coded with blue for comfirmed enemy positions, purple for unconfirmed and orange for amended positions. The maps, that spread out to 3ft by 2.5ft, were dated May 20 when the date and location for the Allied invasion of Europe was still only known by a select few. Indeed, they were for members of the 'BIGOT' list only - the limited number of military top brass who knew about the plans for Operation Overlord. An instruction along the top told the holder the maps were not to be carried in operational aircraft in case it crashed behind enemy lines. The documents were the culmination of two years of work to gather intelligence and photographs of the Normandy coast. BNPS The maps were for members of the 'BIGOT' list only - military top brass who knew about Operation Overlord The operation involved a bogus BBC competition for British holidaymakers to send in their photographs of the French seaside and Allied divers taking panoramic snaps of the beaches under the noses of the Germans. The maps have emerged now after an unknown dealer bought them from a descendant of a senior military officer who was involved in Operation Overlord. They are being sold in eight separate lots by C&T Auctioneers of Ashford, Kent. Tim Harper, of C&T Auctioneers, believes the maps were kept by a senior Allied military leader after the historic operation. "These were the last printed maps before D-Day. BNPS The incredible find shines a light on the detail the Allies went into when planning the Normandy landings "They are incredibly detailed and gave the main military leaders vital information on the presence of defences, machine gun posts, pill boxes and trenches. "The maps are dated May 19 and D-Day was put back once or twice before it was launched on June 6, 1944. "There are no other maps that are as up-to-date as these that we know of. "They are rare. Every now and again one might pop up from the family of a senior officer but to get so many of them in one go is quite something. "They are in very good condition. "Very few have survived and this is the largest single grouping we have seen." BNPS Rules meant that the plans shouldn't be in aircraft in case they were shot down The maps include Gold Beach between Colleville and Arromanche, Sword Beach between St Aubin and La Breche, 'bloody' Omaha Beach at St. Pierre-Du-Mont and St. Marie-Du-Mont at Utah Beach. They are being sold on September 7 and expected to fetch £2,800.

Mathieu Debuchy has Arsenal exit blocked as injury woes complicate transfer negotiations

www.mirror.co.uk
Mathieu Debuchy has seen his Arsenal exit blocked by injury. France right back Debuchy, 31, is desperate to leave the Emirates and Arsenal are ready to grant his wish either with a permanent deal of season-long loan. But Debuchy is carrying a knock with a calf problem and that is why he has been unable to negotiate a move this summer.

West Ham sign Juventus striker Simone Zaza on initial season-long loan deal

Done: Zaza has joined the Hammers on an initial loan deal West Ham United have eased their striker worries with the signing of Italian international Simone Zaza. The Juventus hitman, 25, has joined on an initial loan deal for the remainder of the 2016-17 season, for a £4.2million fee. A £17million permanent move will be automatically triggered after a certain number of Premier League appearances this term. Zaza becomes the Hammers 11th summer signing, taking the club's spending past the £60million mark this summer. Getty Images Italian international: Zaza has 14 caps for the Azzurri Getty Images Fit and well: Zaza gives the thumbs up during his medical “I want to thank everyone for welcoming me including the fans and everyone at the club," said Zaza following his arrival on Sunday morning. "I wanted to start a new experience and I feel this is the right choice for me. “I have been fortunate enough to have already played at the new Stadium with a different shirt. It is a beautiful stadium and I felt the warmth of the fans and this was a big reason why I wanted to join the club. “I want to become a better player and I know I can do that at West Ham. Unfortunately we could not qualify for the Europa League, but I am hoping I can help the club do that next season.” Getty Happy Hammer: Zaza's arrival is a boost for Bilic... West Ham United via Getty ...Who has already lost £20million new boy Andre Ayew to injury Zaza's arrival is a major boost for Slaven Bilic, who has spent much of the summer looking to strengthen his forward line. Andre Ayew arrived earlier this month from Swansea in a £20million deal, but has already been sidelined with injury, while Andy Carroll was last week ruled out for at least a month with a knee injury. Zaza scored five goals in 19 Serie A games for Juvetus last season, but was largely used as a substitute by manager Max Allegri.

Is this Britain's brainiest six-year-old? Little Sherwyn passes his GCSE maths exam
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
A six-year-old boy genius has passed his maths GCSE exam – 10 years early. Sherwyn Sarabi sat two GCSEs maths higher papers alongside teenage students in May and June and was sent his results by email. His mother, Amanda said he passed with a grade D despite studying for only six months. “The one hour and 45 minutes for each paper was a little too long for him, and in the first paper he left the exam 35 minutes early as he was overwhelmed but he still managed to pass,” she said. The family has had to move from Barnsley to Catterick Garrison, North Yorkshire, in order for Sherwyn to go to Aysgarth School , in Wensleydale, a preparatory school for boys usually aged eight to 13, which will be more able to meet his needs. Video loading Click to play Tap to play The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video Mrs Sarabi said: “Sherwyn has an IQ in excess of 160 which is more than Einstein and Stephen Hawking. “I had to call a lot of schools to ask if he could sit the GCSE with them because many felt it would be off-putting to the other older students, so I had to travel to Bradford with him for the exam.” Mrs Sarabi said she first realised her son was gifted when he was almost two and she took him on a routine visit to the doctor. Caters When Sherwyn was just two he could read and name all the flags in the world “We were in the surgery and there was a large map of the world on the wall. "Sherwyn started naming the countries which surprised the doctor who asked what else he knew. "I said he could identify flags from around the world and read – he couldn’t believe it,” she said. By the age of four, Sherwyn had read every book his primary school had to offer, and in the last year his maths has progressed from Year 6 level to GCSE standard. MEN Sherwyn has an amazing thirst for learning Mrs Sarabi said: “Over the summer holidays last year we worked through the maths syllabus for years seven, eight and nine in just two months. “I contacted a tutor to help me and he was also astounded at how much Sherwyn knew. “He is a normal child who loves to play, ride his bike and play musical instruments including piano and violin – but he has an enormous appetite for learning.”

Welcome to the Anthropocene epoch: Scientists declare the dawn of a new geological era triggered by humans
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
You don’t need to be paying much attention to the world around you to know that humans are having a massive influence on the planet, but our influence is now on the way to being officially recognised in geologic terms. The 11,700-year-old geological Holocene epoch has ended, scientists say, and we’re now living in the Anthropocene: an era defined by humanity’s influence on the world around us. In fact, unless you’re over the age of 66, you’ve always been living in it. A 35-strong team of international researchers from the Working Group on the Anthropocene voted 30-3 (two were absent) in favour of the epoch shift, and the starting date is 1950. The date isn’t random: it matches when the first nuclear tests created a new stratum in the planet’s surface. Actually, it won’t necessarily be nuclear tests that ended the Holocene. Humanity’s impact on the planet is so great that we’re left “spoiled for choice” in terms of which particular signal to choose. Plastic pollution, soot from power plants, concrete and even domestic chicken bones were considered possible contenders. “The radionuclides are probably the sharpest – they really come on with a bang,” said the Working Group’s chair Jan Zalasiewicz, of the University of Leicester. “But we are spoiled for choice. There are so many signals.” Getty Now that the vote has been done, we’ll see a few years of site sampling to figure out the best Global Standard Stratigraphic Age (GSSA) to date the start of the Anthropocene, which will then be presented to the International Commission on Stratigraphy. It will then need ratification from the Executive Committee of the International Union of Geological Sciences. So it’s not official yet, but Zalasiewicz believes the team has a “pretty good case” to present. “The significance of the Anthropocene is that it sets a different trajectory for the Earth system, of which we of course are part,” he explained. “If our recommendation is accepted, the Anthropocene will have started just a little before I was born. We have lived most of our lives in something called the Anthropocene and are just realising the scale and permanence of the change.” In other words, geologically at least, there will be no denying the influence mankind has had on the planet. And it’s a hard one to put a positive spin upon, no matter how you frame it. This article was brought to you buy Alphr.com

Anthony Joshua could make next world heavyweight title defence in Cardiff, admits Eddie Hearn

Joshua is set to defend his IBF crown later this year Anthony Joshua's next world heavyweight title defence could take place in Cardiff. The Brit defended his IBF crown by stopping Dominic Breazeale in June and has been tipped to make another defence before the end of 2016. Joshua, who remains unbeaten, has won his last five bouts at London's O2 Arena, reports WalesOnline. It had been touted that Joshua's next appearance would be in Manchester, but promoter Eddie Hearn has revealed that a busy night of heavyweight boxing could be heading for Wales. "It could be November 26th in Manchester but we are also looking at the possibility of a big night of heavyweight boxing at the Principality Stadium," Hearn said. Getty Anthony Joshua forces Dominic Breazeale against the ropes. REUTERS Anthony Joshua in action against Dominic Breazeale "We are talking maybe about David Price v Joseph Parker, Dillian Whyte v Dereck Chisora and then Anthony Joshua v Kubrat Pulev all bundled into one - it could be a lot of fun. He told the Mail: "It could be either late November or in December - we will definitely have the roof shut given the time of the year!" If the venue was to be used at that time of year then it would almost certainly have to take place in December, with the Welsh rugby team playing at their home every Saturday in November.

But the Principality Stadium has hosted boxing before. Welsh great Joe Calzaghe defended his super middleweight titles there when it was known as the Millennium Stadium in 2007 against Peter Manfredo Jr and Mikkel Kessler respectively. Fellow Welshmen Nathan Cleverly and Enzo Maccarinelli have both fought there on three occasions. Hearn added: "There are some big plans and maybe in two weeks' time they will all be unveiled."

Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video The Live Event you are trying to watch is either unavailable or has not started Please refresh this page in your browser to reload this live event video Dyslexic X Factor star James Wilson suffered another TV embarrassment earlier today when Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh mocked him for appearing to have 'nervous, clammy' hands. The cabinet maker rocked the nation when he appeared on the ITV talent show at the weekend after performing Ray Lamontagne’s Jolene - despite forgetting the words. 34-year-old James revealed that he lives in a caravan and has a severe case of dyslexia that hindered his X Factor audition but that didn't stop Ranvir from emphasising his nerves. Before James even had the chance to explain himself to Singh, the presenter mocked the joiner from Leeds for having 'clammy' hands - much to the surprise of co-presenters Charlotte Hawkins and Michael Underwood. Don't mention the hands X Factor hopefuls rapper Honey G and singer Zak Daven leave viewers in stitches after hilarious auditions Wilson, who suffered a huge setback over the weekend, after he forgot the words to his song, was immediately put under pressure from Singh. The presenter said: "This is live telly. You are nervous now, when we shook hands you were a bit clammy I have to say." Things are about to get awkward And there it is As the presenters and the singer let out an awkward burst of laughter, GMB's Michael Underwood joked: "Thanks Ranvir... ease him in gently." "It was the moisturiser," said James in his defence. "Just want to get that out there." "Keep using that moisturiser, I loved it. It was a fantastic moisturiser." Speaking about going forward in the competition, he added: "I'm a little bit nervous but a lot less now." Syco/Thames/Dymond James forgets the words on X Factor On X Factor, Wilson said he finds it hard to remember lyrics and struggles to read because of his speed of learning. James said: "I've joined a few bands, but they've dropped me because of my speed of learning. I'm 34 now and I just thought I'd give it a blast." ITV He added: "It's quite difficult to read which I more or less can't do. I went for my driving test and I couldn't read whether I'd failed or passed, I had to ask a random person on the street." The singer, who said James Arthur inspired him to give it a go, was not the smoothest and Simon even stopped him early. Luckily he got four yeses from the judges. * Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6.00am on ITV

It was taken in the city of Al-Rastan in Homs, a major stronghold of the rebel forces fighting the tyrannical regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad . The woman, barefoot and wearing a red Hijab, is seen beneath the wall on top of a building - one arm and one leg dangling from beneath the rubble. A rescue worker is seen clambering up to the woman and shakes the exposed arm to see if there is any hope of saving her. Sadly, hope has once again fled this particular corner of the war-ravaged region. Twitter/@Laith1990 The Syrian woman was crushed after a wall collapsed after an airstrike Twitter/@Laith1990 A rescue worker tries to reach the woman The Mirror has taken the decision to publish the harrowing footage to show the danger ordinary, innocent families face every single day from air strikes in Syria. Dutch journalist Brenda Stoter tweeted a picture of the victim and wrote: "A Syrian woman died after the roof of her house fell on her after warplanes missiles were fired." It is not known which military launched the devastating attack, but Syrian regime forces frequently target the city. The Russian Air Force has also been accused of attacking Syrian rebel forces in Homs, despite claims they are only attacking ISIS targets. Getty Omran Daqneesh, 5, was hurt in an airstrike in Aleppo Ex-Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond has previously accused Kremlin planes of carrying out strikes on rebel fighters battling the regime of their ally President Bashar al-Assad. He said: "The Russians have attacked opposition forces between Homs and Aleppo and in the far north of Syria , and in doing so have allowed Daesh (another term for ISIS) to seek advantage on the ground." The image appears to have been taken taken from footage filmed by Syria Civil Defense, volunteer search and rescue workers known as 'The White Helmets'. The four-year civil war has claimed an estimated 310,000 civilian lives and caused 10 million to flee.

Espanyol are interested in Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy. The France right-back is desperate to leave the Emirates and the Gunners are ready to grant his wish either with a permanent deal of season-long loan. La Liga outfit Espanyol have leaked eight goals in their opening two games and Quique Sánchez Flores hopes Debuchy can help shore up their backline. However, Debuchy is carrying a knock with a calf problem and that is why he has been unable to negotiate a move this summer. Reuters The French full-back is struggling with a calf problem It will now take a club ready to take a gamble on Debuchy’s fitness to save him from a season in limbo after the £10million full-back has lost his place to Hector Bellerin. The 31-year-old has featured just 21 times for the Gunners since his move from Newcastle in 2014, spending the back end of last season on loan at Bordeaux.

Dale Stephens is still a Brighton player - for now Burnley have failed with a sixth bid worth over £7million for Brighton 's Dale Stephens. The Premier League side have tested the Seagulls' resolve with a string of bids this summer. But Brighton have held firm and have now also rejected a transfer request from Stephens as the midfielder attempts to force through an 11th hour move. Brighton signed a ready-made replacement for Stephens this summer in midfield playmaker Oliver Norwood from rivals Reading. But the club are adamant they want both players at the Amex and have repeatedly told Burnley he is not for sale as they attempt to win promotion to the top flight for the first time since 1983. Getty Dale Stephens playing for Brighton The Clarets are already breaking their transfer record for the second time this month to sign Jeff Hendrick from Derby for £10million and must now decide if they will go higher for Stephens. The 27-year-old Bolton-born midfielder started his career at Bury but joined Brighton from Charlton in 2014 and has made more than 70 appearances for Chris Hughton's men.

Newcastle mulling over £4.7m move for West Brom winger Callum McManaman

www.mirror.co.uk
Unwanted: McManaman is down the pecking order at Albion Newcastle United are considering a move for West Brom winger Callum McManaman. The Magpies, tipped as hot favourites to win the SkyBet Championship this season and return to the Premier League, have already signed 11 first-team players over the summer. Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez has stressed the importance of squad depth over the course of a 46-game campaign and following an injury to Rolando Aarons, may sign McManaman as valuable cover, report the Chronicle. McManaman signed for the Baggies from Wigan last summer in a £4.7million deal but has fallen down the pecking order at The Hawthorns. Allward/JMP/REX West Brom, 10th in the top-flight after three games, drew 0-0 with Middlesbrough at home on Sunday. After the game, manager Tony Pulis said: “I expect McManaman to leave. We’ll get our money back on him.” Though thought to be a decent signing in a push for promotion, a number of Newcastle fans have expressed concerns about McManaman’s horror tackle on Massadio Haidara back in 2013. McManaman, then playing for Wigan, went in with his studs up on the Frenchman during the Latics’ 2-1 win at the DW Stadium but escaped a booking and retrospective FA punishment. Offside The 25-year-old has since expressed regret about the incident and said in an interview: “I actually thought I’d won the ball cleanly and it was only afterwards when I saw the replays I realised what I’d done.” He added: “It’s something I regret and if I could go back in time, I’d make sure it didn’t happen.” After three consecutive victories over Reading, Bristol City and Brighton, Newcastle are up to fourth in the Championship table.

Katie Waissel has slammed Christopher Biggins for his anti-Semitic ‘joke’. Biggins was booted out of the Celebrity Big Brother house after telling the Jewish singer: "You had better be careful or they will put you in a shower or take you to a room!” Now the former X Factor star has revealed his controversial comments left her in tears in the diary room and she also had to see a psychologist. The 30-year-old explained that earlier on that day she had been talking to him about a trip she made to Auschwitz and recalled walking through the showers. While talking about her family and why his comments were so hurtful, she shared: “My great-grandmother Katie, who I’m named after, and her husband Sydney escaped the concentration camps. They were living in Poland and escaped while their town was under siege. It was incredibly difficult for them but luckily they got out.

Katie added that they would have been horrified to hear him say that and said her mum even branded what he did a “hate crime”. Channel 5 Katie Waissel Channel 5 The 30-year-old also said Biggins was completely wrong to say she wasn’t offended by his comments. Katie said she and her fellow housemates were left stunned after hearing what he said and she immediately got up and left the room. The singer was also just as shocked when he said bisexuals are to blame for AIDS. "We were all a bit surprised at how loose-lipped he was. I mean, he’s a national treasure and he’s excited and happy and fun. But there were some crazy things he said that made us turn our heads." Earlier this week, Katie said she had to idea Biggins was ejected over the comments he made towards her. When asked by Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford during a This Morning appearance about what had happened after his sudden departure, the X Factor beauty said: "I didn't know what happened to be really honest with you. "I was really concerned it was something to do with his family, so we were all just really, really shocked. Either that or he was just in it for a week to have a good time for a week?" Katie said the housemates were told nothing by Big Brother and Ruth urged her to give him a ring.

Sheik Mohammed visited several government departments on Sunday morning - a normal working day in United Arab Emirates - and found several unoccupied desks that should have been populated by senior officers. Video taken by Khalifa Saeed and tweeted by the government's media office show the Sheik walking alone through a luxurious corner office with only a portrait of himself on the wall for company. Furious airport worker smashes up plane after 'being fired by employer' Youtube/khaleejtimes Sheikh Mohammed walks through an empty office With no one to talk to, he nonchalantly picks up a book and begins flicking through it. The message said: "Mohammed Bin Rashid on a field inspection tour in Dubai this morning." As a result of the surprise inspection, nine high-powered officials have been ordered to retire by the strict leader. They include Abdul Qader Al Jasmi, director of legal affairs, deputy director general Eisa Al Maidoor and Mohammad Abdul Karim Julfar, assistant Director General for corporate support. The Sheik began his visit at 7.30am, something he is known to do from time to time - making the employees' tardiness all the more damning.

Jodi Huggett, 41, was shocked to discover she didn't need the gruelling treatment A mum-of-two given four rounds of chemotherapy on the NHS discovered she didn't need the treatment when she GOOGLED her condition. Jodi Huggett, 41, underwent the gruelling therapy - which twice caused her to go into anaphylactic shock - after an operation to remove a low-grade form of bowel cancer . However, feeling desperately unwell as she faced the fifth session of treatment, she went online to research neuroendocrine tumours - only to realise she had needlessly been put through the extra suffering by mistake. Indeed, Mrs Huggett found that chemotherapy had NEVER been proven to work on the type of tumour she had - and she should not have undergone the treatment after having her operation to remove the cancer in the first place. Now, after taking legal action against Hull and East Yorkshire Hospital's NHS Trust, it has agreed to pay her compensation. The Trust admitted the oncologist failed to consider accepted UK and European guidelines with regards to the most suitable course of treatment. The Trust also admitted the decision to offer chemotherapy breached the hospital's duty of care. Getty Jodi said the found rounds of chemo left her feeling incredibly unwell Mrs Huggett, from Caistor, near Grimsby, North East Lincs., said: "I was on my knees following my operation and with my chemotherapy treatment. "I was just about to go into my fifth cycle and I felt so poorly that I decided to look online into it myself. "To my amazement, I found a blog which mentioned people of my age with the same tumour and referenced the Royal Free Hospital in London as a specialist centre. "From what I read, I questioned the treatment and the information I had been given, so I contacted the Royal Free Hospital and they agreed to review my case. "They told me chemotherapy never has and never will be proven to work on a tumour like the one I had and the only way it would have been required was for a palliative care patient, which I wasn't." Mrs Huggett added: "I couldn't believe it when I found out it had all been completely unnecessary. "It was heartbreaking." Google Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust runs the Castle Hill Hospital The Royal Free Hospital contacted Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, which runs the Castle Hill Hospital in Cottingham, East Yorks., that Mrs Huggett was attending, to advise them they were treating their patient incorrectly. Having suffered a number of side-effects from the chemotherapy, Mrs Huggett has called it "disgusting" that she was able to contact another NHS Hospital for advice and to be told about the incorrect treatment and accepted guidelines after conducting basic online research. Mrs Huggett, mum to Olivia, 19, and Harriet, 16, said: "I suffered from coldness of the lips, fingers and toes, low energy and tingling as side-effects of the chemotherapy and I didn't even need it. "It shouldn't have happened." She added: "I had such a bad experience twice during chemotherapy because I went into anaphylactic shock when my treatment was delivered late and my temperature kept dropping. "It's ridiculous. Think about the cost to the NHS and the nursing care, the amount of chemotherapy, anti-sickness drugs, steroids and anti-depressants I was on." Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust has now agreed to pay a compensation settlement to Mrs Huggett after she was represented by medical negligence specialists Hudgell Solicitors. But, Mrs Huggett remains unhappy and claims the admission from the hospital only came after she took legal action after demanding full investigations into her care. Fortunately for her, after undergoing scans and checks in London by the Royal Free specialists, it was revealed she was cancer free - a far cry from the devastating diagnosis she had received in August 2013. Speaking about when she was told she had a low-grade neuroendocrine tumour, Mrs Huggett said: "I was floored when they told me I had cancer. I was 39 and had to face my own mortality. "My children were aware I had a tumour but I was desperately trying to shelter them from the fact it was cancer. It devastated my eldest daughter. "I had to tell them it was an unfriendly lump. "I was told by the oncologist that my cancer was rare, it had only ever been seen in North America, only affects people over 60 and there was a 50 per cent chance of it recurring within 15 years. "But after looking online, I realised this wasn't the case at all." Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust have been contacted for comment.

Two simple methods to ensure WhatsApp cannot share your phone numbers outside the app

How to stop WhatsApp sharing your phone number with Facebook
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
Instant Messaging app WhatsApp announced just yesterday it would start sharing data with Facebook as part of an update to its privacy policy - the first time the service has changed this in four years. Published on Thursday , the updated policy gives WhatsApp permission to share user data including phone numbers with Facebook, claiming the move will better connect the two services. WhatsApp claims that this will allow the social network to suggest phone contacts as friends, and also show you more relevant ads. Getty WhatsApp updated its terms and privacy policy for the first time in four years But the move has sparked privacy concerns among users, who would worry that their private numbers will be shared among not-so-close friends on Facebook. However, since the announcement, a workaround has come to light, which lets users opt out of sharing their phone numbers with Facebook. WhatsApp The new privacy policy is not to everyone's taste According to Motherboard , there are actually two ways to opt out, depending on whether you've blindly accepted the terms already, or not. The first method has to be done before you accept the messaging app's new terms of service. Rather than clicking "agree" button, select the smaller "read more" option below it, and untick the box that reads "Share my WhatsApp account information with Facebook..." The second method is for those who have already accepted those new terms. Since you have 30 days to opt out, you're still within your rights to backtrack on your initial acceptance of the policy. Head to the app's settings menu, and then select the "account" tab. From there, untick the box reading "Share my account info" to prevent any sharing of user data with Facebook. Getty Many users were irked by the idea of WhatsApp sharing their data with Facebook When announcing the policy update, WhatsApp promised "we won't post or share your WhatsApp number with others, including on Facebook, and we still won't sell, share, or give your phone number to advertisers." But if you're still worried about the changes, this gives you the option to block any data sharing for the time being.

Stephanie Davis has thanked fans for their support after her debut as a Loose Women panelist - but made no mention of Jeremy McConnell 's nasty comments. The former Hollyoaks actress joined the panel today where she discussed how looking after baby like dolls in the Celebrity Big Brother house with Jeremy made her want to have his children. "He was burping it and rubbing its back and I was like 'oh I want a baby with him'," she explained. "Then we watched back the clips and I wanted it." Thankyou for all your AMAZING tweets! Love Steph and prince xx pic.twitter.com/yfaKFsZ0xY — Stephanie Davis (@Stephdavis77) August 26, 2016 But after the Loose Women Twitter account tweeted a quote from Steph, which they tagged Jezza in, he didn't appear to be that impressed, replying "freaks" after he was brought into the conversation. Stephanie kept a dignified silence over his comments - which were later deleted along with the Loose Women tweet - and instead thanked her fans for their supportive feedback. ITV Stephanie teared up A LOT during her stint on the show @Stephdavis77 steph you were brilliant you are a natural on TV your baby bump is beautiful had me in tears again XX — Cath Tootill (@CathTootill) August 26, 2016 @Stephdavis77 you did so well and all the young girls will be checking them selfs thanks to you asking questions well done Steph xxx — Winny D (@WinnyD56) August 26, 2016 @Stephdavis77 well done you were great.

The couple split in May, shortly before she confirmed she was pregnant with his baby, something he's repeatedly claimed isn't true. ITV/REX/Shutterstock The couple aren't on speaking terms Steph admitted that the breakdown of the toxic romance had been a difficult time and that she couldn't have got through it without the help of her mum Pauline. Following her Celebrity Big Brother stint she explained how she felt "selfish" for spending time with ex Jeremy McConnell and then going through the fallout from their split. "It was a big lifetime changing experience, I was really. I honestly wouldn't have been here if it wasn't for the baby. I was so down…"

Emmerdale has been slammed for airing disrespectful comments about Cerebral Palsy Emmerdale has been slammed for airing disrespectful comments about Cerebral Palsy. Viewers were left outraged after watching a scene leading up to Dan Spencer and Nicola King's kiss on Thursday. As the pair knocked back several bottles of wine, they giggled at each other's intoxicated states. "You can't go around like that, all cocked," Nicola quipped. "You look like you've got that, what is it? Himi, Hemi,Hemiplegia." Viewers were left outraged after watching a scene leading up to Dan Spencer and Nicola King's kiss Unsurprisingly, the comments did not sit well with those tuning in at home - particularly those directly affected by the disease. Some were so outraged, they revealed they were boycotting the soap altogether. One seriously upset viewer, Rachel Philpott, wrote: "Emmerdale I am saddened by a scene on Thursday's episode in which two of your characters talk about Hemiplegia. Now I am all for raising awareness about disabilities but in a positive way and this certainly is not! "My 14 month old son happens to have Hemipledgia and it is no laughing matter, he has very little use of his right hand side. But I can assure you that he doesn't look 'all cocked'. Viewers were outraged by the scenes "I'm shocked that you think comparing a drink to somebody who had Cerebal Palsy is acceptbale. It is not. And your scenes have upset a great deal of people on Hemiplegia support groups. Not cool." Twitter was then inundated with similar messages from upset fans. A tipsy Nicola made the comment to Dan Another post read: "@emmerdale you've lost a lot of viewers over your hemiplegia comments on Thursday #shameonyou #hemiplegiaawareness #kidshavestrokestoo." Dan didn't react to the disrespectful comment Moments later a different viewer added: "@emmerdale disgusted and shocked, lost a fan here. Referring to someone drunk as having hemiplegia. Writer needs the sack." Mirror Online has contacted Emmerdale for comment.

This isn't what Paddy expected to come home to Five months away is a long time in Soapland, and Paddy is stunned to return from Germany to find he is being cuckolded. The vet comes back from Hamburg determined to patch things up with Rhona, blissfully unaware that hunky Pierce has been sleeping with his wife. Before you feel too sorry for Paddy, let’s not forget he fled Emmerdale after being shamed for having an affair with Pierce’s now-dead wife Tess. It’s complicated! Anyway, Paddy makes his surprise appearance this week. He lets himself into Smithy Cottage where he’s flabbergasted to find his missus and Pierce getting passionate. Crushed to learn they’re now a couple, he resolves to win her back by proving his rival is not the Mr Nice Guy he’s pretending to be. Later in the week, Paddy tries to kiss his wife but she pushes him away and it’s clear that it’s too late for second chances. Serves you right, love rat! Call the midwife! ITV Laurel goes into labour Since they remarried, Ashley and Laurel have had a tough few months. The curate suffered a stroke on their wedding day, Laurel briefly left him and she’s seen his dementia steadily get worse. All that emotional upheaval can’t be good for an expectant mum and, sure enough, there’s baby drama this week. Things are looking up when Ashley organises a romantic picnic, complete with musical entertainment. However, conversation soon turns to their uncertain future. Later on, Ashley – who has been running a bath for Laurel – comes downstairs to find she has gone into labour. It’s too late to drive her to hospital, but will he cope with the pressure of helping with a home birth? Mixed messages ITV Robert tries ton Lachlan Robert is up to his old scheming ways as he tries to con Lachlan into confessing that it was him who shot Lawrence in the stomach. The businessman is desperate to clear his half-brother Andy of a crime he didn’t commit. He sends a message to Lachlan pretending to be his dad Donny, who’s in Thailand. Robert is thrilled when the lad hints to him that he wants to make some kind of confession. Soon the police arrive to question Lachlan again – and Robert thinks his plan has worked. But Lachlan later realises he was impersonating his father and they have an angry confrontation.

Balotelli was easy to spot in lime green footwear as he posed for pictures with friends having failed to feature under Jurgen Klopp so far this season. The 26-year-old was born in Palermo and has been urged to make the switch back to Italy, despite any move meaning he will likely have to take a pay cut from his current £90,000-a-week wages.

Although he was paid the least to enter the house and was probably the least famous person before the series started, the reality hunk is now being tipped to be crowned this year's champion at 4/7. Bookmakers are anxious after watching him storm to the top of the leader board after offering such incredible odds for him to win when she show launched. Worried bookies like William Hill could have to cough up a large five figure sum if Emma Willis announces Bear is this series' winner. Channel 5 Although he was probably the least famous person before the series started, the reality hunk is now being tipped to be crowned this year's champion at 4/7 "People have latched onto what they think is a conspiracy for Bear to win the show and have backed him to the extent that we do not think he can lose and we could be hit hard if he does it tonight," William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly admitted. But there is still time for another housemate to spoil his party. Ricky Norwood is a super close contender at 2/1 while fellow reality star Marnie Simpson is 8/1. Meanwhile, over on Team USA, Renee Graziano is 20/1, Frankie Grande 40/1 and Aubrey O’Day 50/1. Channel 5 Celebrity Big Brother 2016 will come to an end in a few hours' time Although bookmakers can speculate, the decision now lies in the hands of the public... *The Celebrity Big Brother live final is on Channel 5 tonight at 9pm

Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger are set to leave fans creasing and cringing as they channel their inner gangster rapper. ITV Simon Cowell was not impressed by Honey G Honey G hails from North Weezy aka Harrow X Factor hopeful Honey G, who hails from North Weezy, aka north west London, struts into the audition room wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and ripped white jeans.

A known opposition activist, mother-of-one Ms Baronova wants to be an independent MP in parliamentary elections on 18 September.

The other woman in the latest racy pictures, Polina Nemirovskaya, claimed the images were from her hacked mobile. “Something happened a month and a half ago, I had a lot of different messages to all my accounts, maybe it is due to this,” she said. Ms Baronova is supported by Open Russia, a pro-democracy grouping led by Moscow’s former richest tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who was jailed for a decade after opposing Putin.

The pictures were leaked to a pro-Kremlin tabloid website. In her social media, Ms Baronova has not hidden that she is a lesbian. In one picture she covers her naked body with two sheets scrawled with the words: ‘Hello, my name is Masha Baronova. Ask me everything.’ The latest leak will be seen by opposition forces as evidence of a dirty tricks campaign aimed at discrediting opposition candidates.

Carol Vorderman on staying ageless: 'When you reach your 50s, you have a new freedom'
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
Try to picture a 50-something woman who lives life to the full, and Carol Vorderman is likely to spring to mind. Not content with brains (an engineering degree from Cambridge, anyone?) and beauty (those killer curves make Jessica Rabbit look waif-like), the 55-year-old is set to add ‘bravery’ to the list of ‘B’ words that describe her, when she attempts to become the ninth ever woman to fly solo around the world – a mere two years after getting her pilot’s license. No big deal. When we meet her in a Soho hotel on a sunny afternoon, she is positively glowing. Dressed in a crisp white shirt and skin-tight blue jeans, this is a woman in her prime who doesn’t give a damn what anyone says women of a certain age should or shouldn’t be doing. Carol got her pilot's licence in 2013 "I’m of the Baby Boomer generation, and all our lives we’ve had to break barriers," she says, running her hands through her long blonde hair. "We were some of the first, a band of sisters. When I started Countdown in 1982, all the women on TV were either dolly birds or actresses, normally in secondary roles. We only had the first female newsreader in the 70s! Nowadays, you don’t even think about whether they’re men or women." Growing older in the spotlight hasn’t always been a smooth ride for Carol, who has come under criticism for everything, from dating a younger man (her ex was 14 years younger than her) to the way she dresses. In 2000, she wore a strapless blue mini-dress that showcased her incredible figure, and the response was staggering – but not for the right reasons. "You’d have thought that I had murdered my grandmother," she recalls. "People were saying, 'How can a woman aged 39 wear a mini-dress? She’s mutton dressed as lamb!' Here, let me show you the dress so you can see how innocuous it was…" She rummages in her bag for a moment, until she finds her iPhone. A quick Google search and she’s found the offending picture, in which she looks nothing but gorgeous – all tanned limbs, shimmering blue silk and a beaming grin. Daily Mirror Carol in that mini-dress, in 2000 "It’s ridiculous, it was on the front page of every newspaper – the shock that a woman nearing 40 should wear a mini-dress. And this wasn’t in the 80s, it was in the 2000s." Carol’s 87-year-old mum Jean lives with her in their Bristol home, along with daughter Katie, 23. Carol and her mother are best friends – Jean even wakes her daughter up with a cup of tea each morning. But Carol is all too aware of how different things were for her mum when she was younger. "My mum was 53 when she left my stepfather, and she ended up having no money at all, we were literally living out of the back of my car… They were really disturbing times. Back then, you were very much regarded as an appendage to a husband – if you didn’t have a man, you never went out." Getty Carol and her mum Jean How much does she think things have changed for women of her generation? Carol takes a slow sip of her tea and thinks for a minute. "What you have now is a generation of women who have pushed boundaries and been through struggles," she says with a smile. "And we’re saying, 'I’m not accepting that being in my 50s means I have to disappear.' It’s so refreshing." Happily single, Carol is far too busy flying planes around the world to want a man in her life. She broke up with long-term partner Graham Duff two years ago, and nowadays is happy to spend more time with her girlfriends. There’s plenty of gossip and laughter when she’s with them, as they catch up over wine, but there’s one thing they rarely discuss – men. WireImage Carol with ex Graham "No one ever talks about their husbands, because we’ve got more interesting things to talk about," she admits. "Apparently, only 20% of single women in their 50s want to remarry, and that’s because we’ve already brought up our children and looked after our husbands, thank you very much! "We’ll do a bit of dating, but it’s not the be-all and end-all. We’ve been married, we’ve got the children, we’ve done the career bit. We’ve ticked the boxes – why would you want to go back to the beginning?" There’s much to be said for having grown-up kids, and Carol couldn’t be more proud of hers. Last year, Katie graduated with a Physics masters at the same Cambridge college Carol graduated from 34 years earlier, while Cameron, 18, who suffers from severe dyslexia, is in his first year at university. Twitter Carol and daughter Katie at her graduation "As a working mother, you feel guilty for years because you’ve got a career – you feel guilty about absolutely everything," says Carol. "But when your children grow up, you start to think about the things you always wanted to do, and the dreams you once had. It’s a new freedom, in a way." Carol’s crammed a lot into her 55 years, but in many ways she seems more youthful than ever. So what exactly is her mental age? "It varies throughout the day – I can have a very grown up conversation if I’m talking about a serious matter, but then I can be the party girl, getting everyone else to dance on the table!" Women feel better than ever! Getty Carol looked stunning at the Pride of Britain Awards New statistics reveal that women over 50 are feeling their best yet*, so we asked Carol what she thinks… 70% say they feel more self-assured "You know who you are by this age. You know what you want and the people you want to be with. I’ve dropped all the things and people that bring bad news to my door now." 50% feel more fulfilled "That’s because we’re part of a generation that’s pushed back against social norms, so we feel as though we’ve achieved something. It’s not about money, it’s not about status, it’s because we’ve fought little battles along the way, and hopefully won most of them, and I think that’s great." 1 in 5 feel sexier than ever before "This one’s brilliant. You know you don’t look as good as you used to, but actually you don’t care. Women definitely age better than men! We take good care of ourselves. Blokes coming up in the next generation have been taught to groom a little more, though, so I think they will end up looking better than older men do now." How does Carol spend her Sunday? Carol on Countdown in 1984 My idea of a perfect Sunday would be… It would start by me getting a long lie-in and a cup of tea brought to me. Then a big family barbecue. Hungover or fresh as a daisy? Two bottles of wine between two is great, but the third gives you a hangover! Sunday lunch at home, or pub roast? I’m more of a salad person, rather than Sunday roast. I’m a terrible cook and so was my mum, but my daughter is superb. Gym session or lazy day? I hate the gym, so I have a treadmill in an alcove in a room at home. Sunday in the city or the country? Although I live in the countryside, I am very much a city girl. I love walking around Bristol on my days off. *Released by P&G. Carol has joined forces with P&G to launch the new ‘Women of a Certain Age’ campaign. See victoria.co.uk for more.

Manchester City's John Stones loving life with "best manager in the world" after being denied Jose Mourinho link-up
null
null
www.mirror.co.uk
Mourinho tried to take Stones to Chelsea last summer but he's now with Guardiola at City John Stones insists he has no regrets about missing out on the chance to work with Jose Mourinho – because he now has the best manager in the world. Twelve months after England defender Stones failed to force through a move to Mourinho’s Chelsea because the Portuguese could not convince the London club to go higher than £30million, he is with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Mourinho, who has also arrived in Manchester at rivals United, will see what he missed out on in next month’s derby – but Stones has no doubts that it has all worked out perfectly for him. The 22-year-old, who became Britain’s most expensive defender when City paid Everton £47.5m, said: “I suppose what happened turned out to be a blessing in disguise. “I stated last year what I wanted to do. It didn’t happen and so I just got on with it, kept going, set out to win games and improve as a player. “For me personally, I am now working with the best manager in the world. I’m over the moon to be at City and learning from a manager like Pep Guardiola.

I came here because I want to be a winner. I’m like every other player – I just want to win some silverware.” Stones admitted that the last 12 months have been a steep learning curve. The feeling at Goodison was that Chelsea’s interest hindered his progress last season - and England boss Sam Allardyce hopes that Guardiola’s influence can get Stones back on track. But Stones insisted: “It is difficult when there is a lot of speculation and a lot of things happening in your personal life. It just didn’t unsettle me, it affected my family as well. “You cannot afford to waste any time as a player. When the game goes you cannot get it back, so it was a great learning curve for me last year and I feel I have come out of it stronger and a better person and player. In pictures — Stones helps Man City beat Stoke 4-1 last weekend: “I certainly don’t think my professionalism could be questioned because all I wanted to do was knuckle down and keep improving as a player. Hindsight is a great thing, but it has all worked out perfectly for me in the end.” Stones added: “I kept myself fit and match-sharp before I came here, so it would just be a case of getting used to the players and the way we play. I just wanted to hit the ground running and show what I can do. “I didn’t have to change anything. The gaffer knew how I played and it was just fine-tuning a few things and getting on the same page. REUTERS Guardiola is seen as the perfect manager to help Stones realise his huge potential “I really enjoy the training and learning new things from him. He is an ultimate professional, Very detailed. He wants us to be on the same page going into every game. He gets a lot of points across to us. “It is good because it keeps me thinking, gets me realising the situations we are in against different teams so I can make that decision while I am out there and make it quicker.” Guardiola has encouraged Stones to trust his natural ability on the ball – and Allardyce hopes that the player has learned from the blunders he made last season. Allardyce said: “The mistakes John has made seemed to knock him back a little bit. “England lost the opportunity to progress in the European Championship because of our mistakes rather than the opposition’s brilliant football. Getty Stones went to Euro 2016 with England but didn't play a single minute at the tournament “You have to make fewer mistakes at international level. That is the difference between success and failure. “There is an element with Stones that, as he gets more experienced, he will learn when it’s too dangerous to hold onto the ball and when it’s right to hold onto the ball and come up and play. “I am sure Pep is the same as me. You can take a risk but it has to be minimal, because if you lose the ball and the opposition score, it’s a problem.”

Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool point at Tottenham "doesn't feel too brilliant" after penalty controversy

www.mirror.co.uk
Klopp got a nice welcome but a "not brilliant" result Jurgen Klopp was "disappointed" that his side couldn't take all three points at White Hart Lane as Danny Rose's late equaliser cost Liverpool two points. But the German can nonetheless be heartened by an impressive performance in north London where they had a goal incorrectly ruled out and arguably should have had another penalty on top of the one that James Milner converted to give them a half-time lead. "When you take a point at Tottenham for 99 per cent of teams it would be a good thing but today we saw the game different," Klopp told Sky Sports post-match. "We should be more clinical. "Our first real mistake and they score. We played football and defended really good. It doesn’t feel too brilliant at the moment. REUTERS Liverpool's James Milner scores their first goal from the penalty spot REUTERS REUTERS Liverpool's James Milner celebrates scoring their first goal with Sadio Mane There was controversy as Sadio Mane's goal was flagged offside, with replies suggesting he was level. And while Klopp simply described that decision as "not cool", he was unequivocal about Jan Vertonghen hauling debutant Joel Matip to the ground, which should have resulted in a spot-kick but instead simply saw the corner kick retaken. "It's a penalty," he said. "I don't know why you stop the game unless it's a penalty. "I still feel a little disappointed. When we play like this, we could have won the game. One mistake, one goal. "We were flexible in offensive defending. Wish we would have won it, but we have to accept the point. We showed we can be really good." REUTERS Tottenham's Danny Rose scores their first goal Getty Victor Wanyama of Tottenham Hotspur celebrates after his team mate scores the first goal Spurs backup keeper Michel Vorm was man of the match, despite Danny Rose being the man to steal Spurs a point. "This feels worse than last time," Klopp added. "Simon saved our life last year, Vorm saved their life a few times today. "It's not a game you win scoring four or five. It's difficult to create one chance, we had a few." .

Crystal Palace eye James McCarthy transfer but Everton will have to lower £20million asking price

www.mirror.co.uk
Out of the blue: McCarthy has been frozen out by Koeman Crystal Palace are keen on a deal for Everton midfielder James McCarthy, with the Ireland midfielder set on leaving Goodison Park. The Eagles are looking for an upgrade on departed club captain Mile Jedinak, and see McCarthy, 25, as the perfect fit after being priced out of a move for Newcastle United’s Moussa Sissoko. The Magpies are willing to rival Palace for McCarthy’s signature but it is the Premier League side who have a trump up their sleeve in the shape of James McArthur. Scotland international McArthur played alongside McCarthy for Hamilton Academical for three years and the two remains firm friends. While the Toffees are asking £20million for the 25-year-old midfielder and want a replacement in before letting him leave, sources close to the player are convinced that he will not be at Everton this time next week and that the asking price will drop. McCarthy was left out of this weekend’s squad to play Stoke City.

Notorious sex attacker dubbed Da Vinci rapist seen mingling with shoppers in first pictures of him for decade

www.mirror.co.uk
A notorious sex attacker dubbed the Da Vinci rapist is seen mingling with shoppers in the first pictures of him for a decade. Robert Greens went unnoticed as he strolled around a busy town centre supermarket on leave from jail. The 38-year-old spent three hours shopping in Dundee, Scotland on Saturday as he gets ready for freedom. With a freshly grown beard and a new musclebound appearance, Greens was unrecognisable from the man pictured in handcuffs following his conviction, the Sunday Mail reports . Wearing a blue New York Yankees baseball cap and a sports holdall with matching trainers, the 38-year-old looked like he could have wandered in from a nearby gym. Lothian and Borders Police/PA Greens pictured in 2005 Greens – who smoked 15 cannabis joints and drank 10 pints of lager and cider in the two hours before the attack in 2005 – had what appeared to be roll up a cigarette in his mouth. The violent sex offender left Castle Huntly pirson at about 10am and took a No16 bus to Ninewells Hospital, in Dundee, where he walked to an Asda superstore on the west of the city. He spent less than an hour inside, where he loaded up with provisions which he then placed in one of Asda’s distinctive green “bags for life”. Greens left the store at about 11.20am and headed to Ninewells to get his bus back to Castle Huntly. He bought a bottle of Irn-Bru on the way at a Co-op. When the Sunday Mail reporter stopped him near the gates and asked him about his plans he threatened to call the police if we did not go away. Greens then walked into the prison complex with a phone glued to his ear shortly before 1pm. One shopper said: “He does not look like someone who has spent most of the last 10 years behind bars. He looks younger and fitter. He is pretty unrecognisable really.” Greens raped a 19-year-old Dutch gap year student in a horrific attack near the world famous Rosslyn Chapel, Midlothian, in 2005. He was nicknamed the Da Vinci rapist as the church features in Dan Brown’s 2003 best-selling novel The Da Vinci Code and the subsequent 2006 Tom Hanks film. His terrified victim had been on a sightseeing visit to the chapel but got lost and didn’t get there until closing time. She then set out to walk to nearby Bonnyrigg to visit a friend. Greens drove past her in his car, parked in a layby and walked back. He threw her down a steep embankment, then savagely beat and raped her. His victim’s injuries were so awful that a driver who found her thought she must have been hit by a car. MEN At the High Court in Edinburgh in December 2005, Greens admitted dragging her along the ground, sitting on her, threatening her with a knife and asking if she was a virgin. He then repeatedly struck her in the face and raped her. The victim, who had come to Scotland in 2004 and worked in a shop in Edinburgh, later bravely returned to the scene to give police clues. Greens denied the attack at first, despite damning DNA evidence, and tried to blame his twin brother. He eventually pled guilty and was sentenced to 10 years in April 2006. Former Labour MSP and director of the Scottish Crime and Drugs Enforcement Agency Graeme Pearson said: “The public needs to know that this person, when he walks out the gates at Castle Huntly, has not only served his sentence but has also been reformed. “The local community where he will live also need to be reassured that appropriate measures have been put in place and that he will no longer pose a danger to the public. “It is also important the local authority and other agencies give people as much information as possible when someone like this is moving into their area. “Too often in the past local people have found out about someone like this in their area when it is too late. “They are entitled to be concerned and they should not be kept in the dark.” Greens is now coming to the end of his sentence and he is expected to return to his native Midlothian when he is finally freed. It has been claimed that no other local authority will house him. He was moved last year to Castle Huntly, bear the village of Longforgan, as part of his training for freedom. Since then he has been allowed regular trips out of prison with visits to Edinburgh and Midlothian to prepare for his eventual release. The violent rapist has been freed before but was recalled to prison after he broke the terms of his parole. He was given automatic early release in January 2012 after serving two thirds of his sentence. He was housed in a country cottage near Newtongrange in Midlothian, where hundreds of locals protested outside. However, he was returned to prison in October that year after breaching his parole by visiting the home town of his former wife, the mother of his four daughters. He was also given an extra year in April 2013 for breaking the order, the last time he has been seen in public. Greens has said that he wants to live in his home town of Dalkeith, Midlothian, when he is finally freed, despite regular protests from angry locals terrified at the thought of his return. He will be monitored under MAPPA (Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements) for up to five years when he is finally let out. It was claimed that a specially reinforced and secured house has already been chosen for him in the town of Pathhead, Midlothian, something which the local authorities and MSP have since denied. Midlothian council have a legal obligation to house Greens, because he is homeless and returning to their area. The Scottish Prison Service said they did not comment on individual prisoners. However a spokeswoman said: “Home leaves and overnight stays are an integral part of the preparation of offenders for consideration for parole. “People are allowed home leaves only after rigorous and lengthy risk assessment.”

Forecasters said the weather will be mixed over the Bank Holiday weekend Sunseekers hoping to top up their tans and bring out the barbecue this Bank Holiday weekend could be disappointed after forecasters revealed the UK was due for a mix of weather . Many had hoped the recent sweltering weather would continue all the way through to Monday - allowing the nation to take advantage of the extra day off work . But forecasters revealed to the Mirror Online that, while the weekend will not be a washout, neither will it be anything like the sun-baked days the UK has just revelled in. Martin Bowles, Operational Metereologist at the Met Office, revealed the temperatures would fall from yesterday and 'heavy' rain could even hit some parts of the nation.

"This afternoon, heavy showers are expected in the Midlands which will then move further north as the day goes on. "This rain will continue, in the north of England, over night. "Sunday is going to be a cloudy day. It will have plenty of dry spells but there will also be a few showers about. Reuters Monday is looking like being the best day for weather "Most places in the country will experience showers at some point, but also there will be a number of sunny spells. "It will be pleasantly warm but not hot. London should get a maximum of around 23C but it could feel quite muggy with the air being quite humid. "Wales, which should see a maximum temperature of 21C, and the rest of the country will feel quite fresh." He added that showers could come at any time but that into Sunday night the weather would become dry, cloudy and mild. Shutterstock The weekend is not expected to be perfect for BBQs - but some areas will be sunny Monday is set to be the best day of the long weekend with the Met Office predicting much of the UK to be dry - with the south having quite a lot of sunshine. London and the south east can expect to welcome temperatures reaching 24C while Wales should hit 20C maximum. The north and Scotland should be in the high teens. Mr Bowles said: "There will be one or two showers about in the north east but a lot less than Sunday. "Not wall-to-wall sunshine for all of us as there will be clouds, but the south should be sunny."

Junior doctors 'planning week-long strikes EVERY MONTH for rest of year'

The strikes could hit as early as September 12 Junior doctors are reportedly drawing up plans to stage week-long strikes every month for the rest of the year. The walk-outs would take place between 8am and 5pm for five-days in a row, it was claimed last night. Thousands of operations and hospital visits could reportedly be hit as soon as September 12 - said to be the date of the first planned industrial action contained in leaked documents. Junior doctors are locked in dispute with Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt over a new contract governing pay and working hours - which he wants to impose in October. PA Junior doctors are reportedly planning week-long strikes Rex Doctors leave the picket line at St Thomas' Hospital to march So far they have held five strikes limited to 24 or 48 hours - including their first walk-outs in A&E, maternity and paediatric departments in the history of the NHS . Any longer industrial action would fall in the run-up to winter when hospitals come under severe pressure. The plan is said to have been drawn up by the British Medical Association’s committee of junior doctors, who will put it to a vote of senior officials today. The papers are said to show that the committee wants a “rolling programme of escalated action” this autumn. PA Jeremy Hunt has plans for a 7-day NHS Getty Protesters say the NHS is not for sale A BMA spokeswoman said: “Junior doctors have been clear in their rejection of Jeremy Hunt’s imposed contract. It should come as no surprise that BMA Council are discussing the issue of further industrial action. “But at this stage, no decisions have been made.” The Mirror reported last week how junior doctors’ fears over Hunt’s “seven-day NHS” plans are shared by his own staff in Whitehall. Getty Junior doctors make their feelings clear Chris Ratcliffe Junior doctors could walk out every month until the end of the year Workforce overload is the biggest danger flagged up by Department of Health officials - the same issue raised repeatedly by medics and dismissed by the Health Secretary. Junior doctors indicated earlier this month that they were planning a series of strikes in September. An email to members of the committee referred to “a rolling programme of escalated industrial action beginning in early September”.

Andy Murray never had to leave first gear as the British number one began his US Open campaign with an emphatic victory over Lukas Rosol. Murray is arguably favourite in New York to claim his fourth grand slam title and the Scot justified the tag, thrashing Rosol 6-3 6-2 6-2. He will now face world number 45 Marcel Granollers in round two after the Spaniard had earlier beaten Argentina's Juan Monaco in straight sets. Murray's progress also means Britain will have five players in the second round at Flushing Meadows for the first time since 1987, with Kyle Edmund, Dan Evans, Johanna Konta and Naomi Broady having also made it through. Murray is favourite for the tournament Kim Murray watches on Murray cruised through in straight sets Novak Djokovic's injury-hampered win over Jerzy Janowicz on Monday has only fanned the hype around Murray's challenge, but the level of expectation does not seem to be weighing heavy on the world number two. He did not have to defend a single break point against Rosol, while capitalising on five himself, and made only 17 unforced errors during the contest. "I served very well. I don't think I had any break points against me so that was good," Murray said on court afterwards. "I used good variation on the second serve as well, which is important against someone going for big returns. "It was a tough start to the match. He had a few chances early on but once I got a break up I started to relax and played well."

X Factor hopeful Christian Burrows left Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne in tears tonight. The 19-year-old blew the judges away with a song he'd penned about the tragic loss of his three-months-old brother Nathan. During an exclusive chat with Mirror Online, the incredibly talented teen opened up about the unimaginable heartache his family suffered and why he decided to perform "Thunder Buddy" in front of the nation. "Nathan left us in the middle of the night," he said. "The doctors put it down to cot death because it happened under unexplained circumstances. They didn't have any answers. It just happened one morning when we woke up." Syco/Thames/Dymond Christian Burrows blew the judges away with a song he'd penned about the tragic loss of his three-month-old brother, Nathan Christian was just two-years-old when his baby brother died and so was too young to remember anything specifically. But he struggles with the thought of what could have been if only Nathan hadn't been taken away from his family so soon. "I just think of what kind of relationship we would have now - that's what really gets me," he added. "It's not anything specific that I remember, it's what could have been. It makes me so upset. Syco/Thames/Dymond The 19-year-old left Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger in tears "And seeing what it does to mum and my dad. When they feel it, I feel it." Christian used the heartache his family suffered to write the lyrics of Thunder Buddy - the song that secured him a place at X Factor Boot Camp. Before performing the song in front of the judges, he had only ever sung it twice before; once for his mum and once for his dad. Syco/Thames/Dymond Simon Cowell was impressed with the teen's song writing "When I played it to mum, she started crying," he said. "After that, I promised myself I would never play it to her again because it upset me so much to see her cry. When I played it to my dad, he broke down as well." However, when it came to his audition, Christian had a sudden change of heart after Simon Cowell asked him to perform a second song. Although he was nervous about sharing something so personal with the entire country, he said it just "felt right". Syco/Thames/Dymond Christian is through to bootcamp "Out of all the songs I've ever written, Thunder Buddy is what I am most proud of," he explained. "So when they asked for another song, I made an impulse decision to share it." While his audition got off to a rocky start as Christian's nerves got the better of him, the teen walked away with four yeses when he performed the song he wrote for his brother. "I wouldn't say I am the most spiritual person in the world, but I felt something when I was performing," he added. "I felt relaxed and I felt like he was looking down on me, looking after me." *X Factor returns to ITV tomorrow night at 8pm

While his ex Marnie Simpson is in the running to win Celebrity Big Brother , Ricky Rayment's been getting himself in trouble with the law. Well.... sort of. Ricky took to Twitter yesterday to share some shocking pictures of himself being arrested by a tough-looking police officer - but thankfully it was all for his first film role. The reality star has bagged himself a role in gritty British drama Name Of The Game, which is produced by former CBB star Callum Best. Ladies' man Callum also stars in the flick, alongside a host of other well known UK reality stars. Instagram Ricky's trying his hand at acting Just got home from a LONG nights filming for the movie @nameofthegame16 Night everyone pic.twitter.com/O1Ow4I2rp3 — RickyRayment (@RickyRayment) 26 August 2016 Alongside the snaps of him being arrested, Ricky wrote: "Just got home from a LONG nights filming for the movie @nameofthegame16 Night everyone." Fellow reality star Jessica Impiazzi, who also stars in the upcoming movie, took to Twitter this week to share another snap of the crew filming late at night. It comes as Lewis Bloor appeared to spark a feud with Ricky following the former TOWIE stars remarks about Marnie Simpson. Ricky previously told Mirror Celeb he suspected Marnie's romance with Lewis had started before they entered the house, saying at the time: “I wouldn’t be surprised if [Marnie and Lewis hook up], I’m sure they’ve had a fling before. I won’t be watching.” Instagram He stars alongside Callum Best in the film FameFlynet Ricky and Marnie used to date The pair, who were previously linked when Lewis was rumoured to have kissed Ricky's ex Jess Wright, has insisted nothing has previously happened between him and Marnie . “Ricky made a phone call to me one time when the whole thing with Jess Wright was going on and he asked me man to man if anything had happened with me and Marnie, or me and Jess," Lewis told The Sun . “I swore on my mother’s life that me and Marnie had only met on a night out as strangers and nothing happened." Lewis added: “If Ricky wants to call me and talk about it then he can call me any time he wants, because I love that girl and that’s not his woman."

Mum of toddler snatched from Primark says teenage girls who kidnapped her are 'not evil'

www.mirror.co.uk
Primark kidnapping pair hide under coats as they appear at North Shields Youth Court The mother of a toddler who was snatched from a Primark store says she has forgiven the kidnappers and insists the pair are not ‘evil’. Her two-year-old daughter was taken by the teenage girls, aged 13 and 14, before being found in a park 45 minutes later. The girls were arrested and were later detained for three years after admitting kidnap. Now the mum of the tot says she has forgiven the youngsters. She said: “It was an evil act, but would I call them evil? No.” And she added: “Who am I not to forgive them? One of the biggest problems in the world is our inability to forgive one another.” The little girl went missing in the store in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in April. Andy Commins/Daily Mirror The two girls outside court “It all happened within the blink of an eye” said her mum. “We think we are careful, but honestly we are never careful enough. “All it takes is for a child to run off or run around a corner and you trying to keep up and everything changes. “My little one was laughing and running up and down in the store and I could hear her voice but then I couldn’t. I knew something was wrong because she always likes me in her sight.” The teenagers were arrested three miles away in Gosforth Park. Chronicle Live The area where the kidnappers took the young girl She said her daughter’s hairstyle had been changed and she was sucking a baby bottle the girls had bought. “I was very, very frightened. It was completely numbing, the last thing you expect,” she said. Chronicle Live The two teenage girls pleaded guilty to kidnapping the tot from the Newcastle Primark During sentencing of the pair in July, Newcastle crown court heard they had carried out online searches on topics such as rape and children having sex. Mr Justice Globe said although their victim was not harmed there had been intent. He detained the girls, who cannot be named due to their age, for three years and three months. They were initially charged with kidnap with the intention of committing a sexual offence but this was later dropped. The mother said her little girl had no memory of the kidnapping. “She was not harmed in any way and has no recollection of that day” she said.

Man steals TOP HALF of $2,000 sex doll from adult shop - and a blonde wig

www.mirror.co.uk
Ellis Doyle made off with half of the doll A randy man broke into an adult shop to steal only the TOP HALF of a very expensive sex doll. Police in Ohio were bemused when he managed to also pick out a blonde wig for his new beau. The Smoking Gun reports the burglar broke into the sex novelty store through a ventilation pipe to take a range of saucy toys and lubricant before departing with the upper half of a $2,000 sex doll. He topped her off with a $46.99 wig in blonde, according to police. Now Ellis Doyle, 26, is accused of breaking in to Cirilla’s based in the town of Elyria. Surveillance video taken on Saturday night shows the intruder then sought to re-enter the business through the front doors, but they had locked behind him. Pictured: 26-year-old Ellis Doyle Doyle, cops say, came back into the building “through the roof and ceiling over the cash register.” During his second pass through the store, Doyle “walks around the store again and then walks over to the ‘Eva’ mannequin and strips the clothing off of it and takes the top half of the mannequin and takes a blonde and burgundy wig off a display and places it on its head and walks out the front door.” Thanks to the surveillance video, police were able to identify Doyle, who was collared on a breaking and entering charge. The website said Doyle was released from custody having paying a $5000 bond. Cirilla’s owner told police the total value lost was $2650. The most valuable item, the $2000 “Eva” mannequin, was found discarded outside a Red Roof Inn, which ironically has the tagline Where Fun & Fantasy Meet. Doyle is scheduled for an August 29 preliminary hearing in Elyria Municipal Court.

Dog forced to have 4ft of intestine removed after adorable pooch ate corn on the cob
null

www.mirror.co.uk
A dog has had 4ft of intestine removed after eating a corn on the cob. Sam - a Rhodesian ridgeback crossbreed - almost died when the cob got stuck in his stomach, the Daily Record reports. After the incident, vets are urging dog owners to be extra careful if they are throwing corn on the BBQ this weekend. The dog began vomiting repeatedly after he swallowed the cob. His owner Lorraine Graham, from Tollcross, Glasgow, was shocked when vets at the PDSA’s hospital in the city told her what the problem was. PDSA The cob led to the dog becoming incredibly ill Senior vet Susie Hermit said: “We found that the corn on the cob husk was causing a major blockage in Sam’s small intestine, restricting the blood supply. “Some of the damage was irreversible and we had to remove around half of his intestine, which had begun to die off and rot. Sam was very lucky to survive. “He was at high risk of developing potentially-fatal blood poisoning and the operation to remove such a large section of his intestines was incredibly risky.” PDSA The owner and vet with brave Sam Lorraine, 43, said: “I couldn’t believe it when PDSA X-rayed him and told us what was causing the blockage. “We hadn’t been eating corn on the cob so he must have picked it up while outside.” The PDSA have dealt with 28 similar cases over the last year. They urged anyone having corn cobs to discard of them safely. Susie added: “Something like corn on the cob might seem harmless enough but if an object moves along the digestive system, as it did with Sam, it can cause a tear or life-threatening blockage.”

Teenager who disappeared on beach seven years ago 'was gang-raped, shot and fed to alligators'

www.mirror.co.uk
According to a "jailhouse confession", Brittanee Drexel was held captive then murdered A teenage girl who vanished on an American beach during Spring Break seven years ago was gang-raped, shot and fed to alligators, police believe. Brittanee Drexel was 17 when she vanished in South Carolina sparking a major investigation in 2009 - now the FBI has revealed she suffered a horrifyingly violent death. The agency recently revealed that the had established Brittanee was held against her will for several days before she was killed. And in a transcript obtained by the Post and Courier of Charleston, Agent Gerrick Munoz testified about a "jailhouse confession" which detailed how the grim crime unravelled. Tumblr/helpfindbrittaneedrexel Brittanee's family have waited seven years to find out the truth about her disappearance Taquan Brown, who is serving 25 years for an unrelated manslaughter case, said he saw Brittannee when he visited a "stash house" in the area she was last seen. He said she was being sexually abused by several men. As he went to give another man at the property some money, Brittanee apparently made an attempt to flee. She was "pistol-whipped" and taken back inside before Brown said he heard two gunshots. He says he saw the body wrapped up and taken away. Charleston County Sheriffs Office The FBI says prisoner Taquan Brown's story has been corroborated by other tip-offs Agent Munoz testified in a federal court that "several witnesses have told us Miss Drexel’s body was placed in a pit, or gator pit, to have her body disposed of. Eaten by the gators." Authorities have searched the property and the alligator pits but have found no trace of Brittanee. Brown's tale has been corroborated by other tip-offs, a court heard. Brittanee was on holiday with friends in Myrtle Beach when she was reported missing in April 2009. Police offered a $25,000 reward and issued CCTV images of Brittanee leaving a hotel, the last confirmed sighting of the teen. Her mother Dawn said this week: "After seven long years of waiting and praying for the return of my daughter we know that she isn’t coming home alive."

The convenience, in Llannerch-y-medd on Anglesey, was one of several shut in 2012 as part of council cut backs. It was sold off and a planning application made to turn the toilet block into a house. Now after an impressive renovation the detached property - named Ty Bach Twt - is up for sale for a very reasonable £95,950 with Dafydd Hardy Estate Agents. Dafydd Hardy Estate Agents A planning application made to turn the toilet block into a house The home - next to the Grade II-listed St Mary’s Church - has two double bedrooms, both with en suite shower rooms and a small lawned garden, reports the Daily Post. Mike Tanner, from Dafydd Hardy Estate Agents, said: “Most of us spend pennies there but for one person a few pounds has transformed this former public toilet from its 1970’s utilitarian background into a delightful detached two bedroom cottage with cosy, high spec accommodation for those looking for something a little different. Dafydd Hardy Estate Agents The home has two double bedrooms, both with en suite shower rooms “Gone are the local authority fittings to now offer a contemporary home, quaint with a modern interior, all brand new appliances and with the very best use of space. “The renovation has been followed closely by the locals, many of whom have been employed for the building work, and the positive comments now it’s finished reflect the ‘wow factor’ it generates. “With councils now widening their remit on planning permission and over 600 public authority buildings shut for good in the past 18 months, we’re likely to see more conversions like this coming to market.” Dafydd Hardy Estate Agents The property before it was converted into a stylish cottage The toilet is one of six that were sold off as part of cost savings measures. The others were in Brynsiencyn, Cemaes, Holyhead, Menai Bridge and Newborough. Across the UK, public toilets have been turned into everything from bars to restaurants to sandwich shops.

Did Jack the Ripper escape London to carrying on his brutal killings in Yorkshire?

www.mirror.co.uk
Jack the Ripper headed north to avoid being caught for his killing spree in East London, according to a new book on the notorious murderer. Historian Mike Covell tells in Jack The Ripper – Or Something Worse? how the Ripper was actually a criminal called Fred Deeming. Deeming was born in Derbyshire before emigrating to Australia with his wife Marie James where he repeatedly got in trouble for fraud. The pair become estranged and returned to London in 1888. Deeming lived alone in Whitechpel - at the same time the infamous killings started. His name even crops up on reports on the murders by Scotland Yard and a London dressmaker Deeming had been courting came forward at the trial to finger Deeming as The Ripper. But the claims were dismissed and Deeming fled north. A year later he arrived in Beverley, East Yorkshire, posing as a millionaire Australian rancher called Frederick Lawson. Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images Illustration shows the police discovering the body of one of Jack the Ripper's victims Rex 1958 film 'Jack The Ripper' He saw several women around Hull, and despite still being married, wed Nellie Matheson in 1890. But he was soon in trouble with the law again, and was jailed for nine months for fraud. When he was released, 18-year-old Mary Jane Langley was found dead in a ditch near the jail with her throat cut. Deeming went back to his first wife, who had been trying to blackmail him while he was behind bars. He brutally murdered her and their four children, burying them in cement under the kitchen floor. He then headed back to Australia with his third wife 25-year-old Emily Mather. But in a heated row in Melbourne on Christmas day in 1891, deeming strangled Emily to death. When he was arrested police discovered a collection of knives, swords and axes. State Library of Victoria Collections/Wikipedia 19th century illustration comparing Fred Deeming and 'Jack the Viper' of Whitechapel Getty A sketch of one of the London victims Kate Eddowes and a man who was thought to be implicated in the case Around the same time, police back in England made the grim discovery of Deeming's murdered family. They rushed to Australia to get to the trial, where Deeming was sentenced to death and later hanged. Mr Covell, 37, who spent years painstakingly going through archives in the UK and Australia, said: “Previously Deeming was thought to be in prison at the time of the Whitechapel murders. But I have found out this was not the case. "A newspaper stand vendor described how Deeming always bought loads of newspapers after the murders and seemed very excited to read about them.”

Labour's Chris Bryant says "more than two dozen MPs" have been sent the same email At least 25 MPs have been sent identical death threats, along with a photograph of person being beheaded, Labour's Chris Bryant revealed today. Speaking to LBC Radio, Mr Bryant said he and "at least two dozen" other MPs had been sent the email threat, which reads "Warning, I am going to kill you and kill all of your family." Mr Bryant said the MPs who had received the email were from different political parties, but each had been sent an identical email. He said: "I don't want to give too much detail because obviously there is a police investigation going on now. But the truth is that this is a regular part of what we're dealing with at the moment." He said the internet had "fostered an anger and a bitterness", and that MPs are still "bearing the emotional scars of losing one of our colleagues earlier on this year." He welcomed Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's pledge to "chase down and stop" any online abuse and harassment connected to his campaign and the broader Labour party . PA Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn (right) as Richard Barbrook looks on during Labour's Digital Democracy Manifesto launch at Newspeak House in east London. But he said: "My anxiety is that I have never known the Labour Party be in such an unpleasant state as it is at the moment with...I mean members of the Labour Party online, day in, day out. "And sometimes the level of nastiness and demonstrations outside people's offices and all that kind of stuff. "And I think Jeremy has been very very slow to act on that . And a lot of this is happening on Jeremy's watch. I think you need a stronger leader if you are really going to be able to tackle that." Mr Corbyn pledged to tackle the issue of online abuse as he launched his digital manifesto this morning in London's trendy Shoreditch. PA Mr Corbyn pledged to tackle online abuse He said the escalation of online abuse surrounding politics was "appalling", but noted that he had drawn up a code of conduct to deal with it. But his launch was derailed after it emerged the tech guru behind key parts of his digital manifesto had encouraged his Twitter followers to tell 'Blairite' Labour MPs to "shut the f**k up."

Ronald Koeman believes that EVERY Premier League club’s transfer plans have been thrown into chaos because of the crazy prices in the transfer market. The new Everton manager admitted he is far from crafting the squad he wants at Goodison, because it has been so difficult in the summer window to identify the right player at the right price. But he insisted he is not alone as a manager facing frustration even as the season gets into full swing, because even the big guns have been left reeling by an off season where the fees have been insane. “Everybody is still busy in the transfer window...it’s not just Everton, it is all of the teams, everybody is still looking for players,” he explained. In pictures - Everton 2-0 Yeovil: “It is not that one of the 20 teams is really ready or satisfied and says, ‘ok we have the squad that we need.’ “Everybody is trying to get players in and it’s normal because it started so late and they asked for normal players, big money. The final decision is paying that money for that player. That’s also a big part of the final decision.” For Koeman, it is even more difficult, because even though he has been backed in the window by new shareholder Farhad Moshiri, he hasn’t been able to attract the players he wants. A new TV deal has given all Premier League clubs massive funds to spend, which has forced prices to ridiculous levels, with even the likes of Bournemouth spending close to £50m.

Koeman though, knows that it is hard because of the competition for the players he wants from Champions’ League clubs, and he confessed it could take him two years to get the squad he wants. “Of course if you’re trying to get a player in and you get competition from the big clubs and they play Champions League, of course, most of the time you lose,” he added. “When I was the manager of Southampton for Schneiderlin, Wanyama, it’s difficult because they like to play for Champions League, they like to play for titles.

What we need to do at Everton is the big project. “I need two seasons really to get what I think can be the best team for Everton. After this window I like to change things but it’s not possible. Maybe next year, then finally everyone can be happy but the team is strong.” Koeman has some midfield problems for the visit of Stoke today, with James McCarthy, Tom Cleverley and Darron Gibson all doubts, and his main priority before the window closes next week will be to land a player to fill a central role.
