Second modified, armored van spotted near Des Moines, Iowa alongside the one that Hillary Clinton travels in. Visually identical black vehicles' biggest difference is the color of their New York license plates. One is a Chevy and the other a GMC but they are mechanically identical and one was seen using Secret Service-fitted red and blue lights. Van dubbed 'Scooby' in homage to the Scooby-Doo cartoon show brought Clinton to Iowa from her New York house. 'Scooby-Two' made its debut in Norwalk, Iowa on Wednesday outside a fruit processing plant where Clinton made a scripted appearance.

Prompt: Summarize: Hillary Clinton’s security detail arrived at a suburban Des Moines, Iowa fruit processing company on Tuesday with an added vehicle – a second Scooby. After her signature oversize black Chevy conversion van dropped her off at Capitol Fruit Company in Norwalk, Iowa, a visually identical GMC van drove up to the building with a nearly identical Secret Service escort vehicle. Both armored vehicles have raised roofs, deep-tinted windows and New York license plates. But while the original van – the one nicknamed 'Scooby' after the Scooby-Doo cartoon show – sports a mustard-yellow New York tag, the second has blue and white plates of a different design. Scroll down for video. WHY BUY ONE WHEN YOU CAN HAVE TWO AT TWICE THE PRICE? The first picture of both of Hillary Clinton's Scooby mobiles. One is a GMC and the other is a Chevrolet, but they are mechanically identical. CONVOY: Scooby-one and Scooby-two took up positions in Hillary's motorcade on a freeway near Des Moines. BACK SEAT DRIVER? Hillary Clinton climbs into the so-called Scooby van after a campaign stop at Capital City Fruit in Norwalk, Iowa. Clinton (right), a Democratic presidential hopeful and former secretary of state, posed for selfies with fans after meeting with members of the Iowa State legislature at the State Capital on Wednesday. It’s common for U.S. Secret Service to employ 'decoy' vehicles, identical in design, in order to inject some mystery into VIPs' travel plans, if for no other reason than to confuse and discourage would-be attackers. When President Barack Obama returns to the White House after long trips, his arrival on the Marine One helicopter can be a shell-game exercise when three identical choppers appear on the horizon. Only one, of course, lands on the South Lawn. A Secret Service spokesperson said the agency does not comment on security arrangements for dignitaries. FLASHERS: 'Scooby-two' forced an Iowa motorist to leave the roadway on Wednesday so it could go through a red light and rejoin the caravan. Mrs. Clinton enjoys constant protection at taxpayers' expense because she is part of a former first family, not as a result of her service in the U.S. Senate or the State Department. But at some point during presidential campaigns, front-runner status generally attracts Secret Service as a candidate’s profile is elevated and crowd sizes swell. On Wednesday, the two Scooby vans arrived at Clinton's appointed location separately, but left together in a seven-car motorcade. UNDER GUARD: Two Secret Service agents with Scooby One in Iowa today. MOTORCADE: The Clinton convoy includes both Scooby vans and four black Suburbans, believed to all be Secret Service vehicles. It also included a white minivan on Wednesday. Scooby-Two’s driver brought up the rear, at enough of a distance to allow another car to pull in front of him. When that car stopped at a red light, the GMC van’s blue and red flashing lights came on. The stray car’s driver pulled to one side and Scooby-Two zoomed into the intersection, against the light. DECOYS: The Secret Service frequently deploys duplicates of aircraft and cars it uses to transport VIPs – including Marine One, the president's customized helicopter, which usually travels with two decoys.


Kalimah Dixon of Georgia lost condo and belongings in fire on Monday. She said her children, aged one to 14, now have nothing. Mother of three girls and three boys said American Red Cross has helped. But, she said shelters turn the family away while she looks for place to live.

Prompt: Summarize: After a fire took a family's home of four years leaving them without anything, a Georgia mother of six is making a desperate plea for help. Kalimah Dixon said she was awakened by a neighbor yelling there was a fire early on Monday morning, and was lucky to get her children, aged one to 14, out of the Decatur condo safely. However, all that was left of her rented condo was a pile of rubble, and in her efforts to get her family back on their feet, she is asking for assistance. 'My children are homeless. They have nothing. They lost everything,' Dixon told Channel 2. Scroll down for video. A mother of six said her family has nothing after fire reduced their Georgia condo to a pile of rubble (above Kalimah Dixon with her five of her six children) The Dekalb County mother said the fire happened early on Monday and that she managed to get all of her children safely out (remains of the condo following the fire above) While Dixon was renting the Condo in the last four years, she had quit working to enroll full time in school to complete her degree in business management. But now she is finding it difficult to get a lease for a new permanent home  while being unemployed. As the mother of three sons and three daughters shuffles to give her kids stability, she is currently staying with a friend, far from her children's Decatur schools - where On Tuesday, Georgia students are required to take a standardized test. 'Yes, it starts Tuesday and I don't even know where I'm going to be on Monday,' said Dixon.

'They'll take three of my children but they won't take the other three or my son is too old or they have any space at all,' Dixon told Channel 2. Dixon has since started a GoFundMe page which on Sunday had raised $4,619 in donations. Dixon has started a GoFundMe page which has raised $4,619 in donations so far. On the site she wrote: 'I'm humbly asking for assistance for me and my children we currently suffered a tremendous loss due to a fire early Monday morning.

Australian couple who abandoned baby knew they were breaking the law. Documents reveal the Australian government had knowledge of the ordeal. Couple told staff they only wanted a baby girl to 'complete their family' It was feared the abandoned boy may have been sold.

Prompt: Summarize: An Australian couple who abandoned a boy born in a surrogacy deal in India were repeatedly told the child would be left stateless, new evidence shows. Documents reveal the shocking details of the case that saw a couple return to Australia with a baby girl while leaving her twin brother behind. Australian government officials had full knowledge of the startling ordeal, according to documents obtained the ABC. An Australian couple who abandoned a boy born in a surrogacy deal in India were repeatedly told the child would be left stateless, new evidence shows (stock image) The FOI documents reportedly show staff at the Australian High Commission in India and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade were aware the couple was from New South Wales, where it is illegal to enter into international surrogacy arrangements. Conversations between the Australian High Commission in New Delhi and Government officials in Canberra detail how the couple travelled to India in late 2012 and seeked citizenship for a baby girl but told consular staff they would be leaving her twin brother behind because they could not afford him. The couple reportedly told staff they wanted a baby girl to 'complete their family'. The Australian man told consulate staff he would be giving the boy to some friends in India 'who were unable to conceive a child', according to the report. The couple was told the boy would be left stateless if they followed through on plans to abandon him, because India does not recognise surrogate children as citizens. Documents reveal the shocking details of the case that saw a couple return to Australia with a baby girl while leaving her twin brother behind. 'If the parents do not apply for Australian citizenship for the child, the child will be stateless in India... our ability to provide assistance to a non Australian citizen is limited,' a DFAT email in December, 2012 said. There were also fears last year that the boy may have been sold. Chief Justice of the Family Court, Diana Bryant, said  consular staff had told her of their concerns. The FOI documents reportedly show staff at the Australian High Commission in India and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade were aware the couple was from New South Wales, where it is illegal to enter into international surrogacy arrangements. 'They expressed to me that in fact money had changed hands, and if that's true, then that's basically trafficking children,' she said. 'We're commoditising children and that's a huge concern. It's in breach of all sorts of human rights conventions – it's a criminal offence in many places.' If money was paid, any adoption would be deemed invalid under India's Hindu Adoption Act. The Indian case is similar to the recent baby Gammy case, who was born in Thailand to a surrogate mother and whose Australian parents only brought back his twin sister. The full story will be shown on ABC's Foreign Correspondent at 8pm on Tuesday.


Kecil the one-year-old orangutan was taken to Chicago zoo after being rejected by his mother and surrogate mother. He was eventually given to Maggie, 53, who had already raised four children of her own and another surrogate. Keepers were concerned pair might not bond, but ten months later they have formed an inseparable connection. Kecil will go on display for the first time this weekend alongside his mother, but only for two hours at a time.

Prompt: Summarize: We all need a helping hand sometimes, and nobody more so than Kecil the baby orangutan, who had a tough start to life after his natural mother and another surrogate mother rejected him. But the one-year-old ape found love at the third time of asking with second surrogate mother Maggie at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo, and has today been pictured cuddling up to the experienced mother ahead of his first public outing this weekend. Maggie, 53, who has already raised one surrogate child, has proved herself yet again by helping to raise Kecil (pronounced Ka-cheel) for the past 10 months, and the two now have an inseparable bond. Scroll down for video. Taking care: Maggie, 53, wraps a protective arm around Kecil the baby orangutan who she has been raising for the past ten months after his mother and a surrogate mother both rejected him. Inseparable: Zookeepers were nervous that Maggie might reject Kecil after raising four of her own children and another surrogate which was given to her in 2002, but she has proved her parenting prowess once again. When the pair appeared in front of news crews earlier today, Kecil began crying after losing sight of Maggie for a few moments. But the elder orangutan quickly returned, at which point Kecil quietened down and scooted over to join her, reports the Chicago Sun Times. Kecil had to be moved from his birthplace at Toledo zoo, in Ohio, 14 months ago after his natural mother failed to bond with him properly after birth. He was moved to Milwaukee County Zoo and given to a second surrogate, but she did not form a bond with him either. In a final attempt to find a parent for Kecil, he was handed over to Maggie, the oldest orangutan in North America, who has already raised four children of her own, and a fifth surrogate which was given to her in 2002. The pair immediately showed signs of intimacy, but zookeepers still faced a tense wait to see if the elderly orangutan would take on full parental duties. Nava Greenblatt, one of the zoo’s lead primate keepers, said that the turning point came when a fire alarm sounded at the zoo a few weeks ago, frightening Kecil, who ran to Maggie and cuddle up to her. Turning point: Keepers in Chicago said the turning point for Kecil came a few weeks ago when a fire alarm went off on the zoo, frightening him. Usually he turned to people for comfort, but instead he ran and cuddled up to Maggie. Big day: After settling into his new enclosure, Kecil will go on display for the first time this weekend in two hours slots between 10am and midday, allowing him to nap in the afternoons. Getting into the swing of things: Keepers said when Kecil and Maggie were first put into their new enclosure, the older ape would wander too far ahead, and Kecil would get lost, but the pair have now learned to stick close to one another. She said: 'Initially when he would be feeling insecure he would turn to people, and then there was a shift where he would turn to Maggie if he felt insecure. That was a big milestone. He really needs her to learn how to be an orangutan.' The pair will eventually become part of an exhibit featuring the zoo's four other orangutans, but at the moment they are living in isolation, as would be the case in the wild. Kecil will be on display on Saturday and Sunday at Brookfield Zoo's Tropic World Asia enclosure between 10am and midday. The other orangutans will be allowed into the enclosure around those times to help them acclimatise as well. Hanging out: The pair will eventually become part of an exhibit featuring the zoo's four other orangutans, but at the moment they are living in isolation, as would be the case in the wild. Happy monkey: Keepers said: 'On his first day out he was wide eyed and a bit amazed. He stayed close to Maggie and whimpered if she moved too far away. We saw many joyful reunions those first few days as they separated and found one another again'


Eric Cantona has claimed earlier that Javier Pastore is 'best in the world' But Pastore believes Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are better. PSG face Barcelona in the second leg of their last-eight Champions League clash in the Nou Camp on Tuesday... they trail 3-1 in the tie. READ: Laurent Blanc admits getting past Barca is 'practically impossible'

Prompt: Summarize: Paris Saint-Germain star Javier Pastore has dismissed Eric Cantona’s suggestion that he is the greatest footballer on the planet. Cantona, the former Manchester United forward, claimed earlier this month that Pastore is ‘the best player in the world’. But speaking ahead of his side’s second-leg tie against Barcelona in the Nou Camp, Pastore believes Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are a class above him. Javier Pastore addresses the world's media ahead of Paris Saint-Germain's European clash in Barcelona. Pastore and his Paris Saint-Germain team-mates are pictured at the Nou Camp on Monday ahead of their tie. ‘Cantona has his opinion and I thank him for his praise. However, I don't share his view,’ said Castore. ‘I don't compare myself with the best. Cantona likes good football and goals, but I think Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are incredible players.’ Pastore scored a brace in PSG’s 3-1 win at Nice on Saturday as the Parisians reclaimed top spot in Ligue 1. Speaking at the Laureus Sports Awards, Cantona had said of the Argetnine: ‘For me, the best player in the world is Javier Pastore. I watched two PSG games just to see him play and making assists. ‘He has something special. Football is an interactive game and Pastore has something that always surprises you. No special goals, no, but fantastic passes. ‘He is the most creative player in the world. I love this kind of player.’ PSG face Barcelona in the second leg of their last-eight Champions League tie on Tuesday. They must overhaul a 3-1 deficit to progress to the semi-finals. Pastore scored a double against Nice as PSG reclaimed top spot in Ligue 1 on Saturday. The Argentine has been hailed as 'the best player in the world' by ex-Manchester United star Eric Cantona.


Amanda Burleigh was convinced clamping cord immediately was wrong. Contacted other medics and they amassed evidence it could be harmful. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines have changed. Cord shouldn't be routinely clamped ‘earlier than one minute from the birth'

Prompt: Summarize: Campaign: Amanda Burleigh has won her battle. A midwife has won a decade-long battle to give mothers more time attached to their newborns before the umbilical cord is cut. Amanda Burleigh was convinced that clamping the cord within seconds of delivery – shutting off the blood supply from the placenta – was wrong. Since the 1950s, when doctors and midwives started giving women a hormonal injection to reduce the risk of haemorrhage, they have clamped the cord within seconds of birth. They feared the drug – since replaced with a safer substitute – could harm the baby. But Ms Burleigh, a midwife at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, believed it was unnatural to clamp the cord when it was still visibly pulsating with blood. She said: ‘One day I had a brainwave and thought, “We all clamp the cord within seconds of the baby being born, but we are doing it without any evidence about whether it’s good or bad for the baby.”' She contacted other medics, including obstetrician Dr David Hutchon, and together the group amassed evidence that stopping the blood flow so early could be harmful. One study showed immediate cord-clamping could deprive a baby of a third of its blood stock – enough to fill a medium-size wine glass. In particular, they found the practice raised the risk of iron deficiency anaemia. A tenth of all toddlers are anaemic, which is linked to delays in learning, speaking and understanding. There is also growing evidence that immediate cord-clamping can be particularly harmful for premature babies. They have finally succeeded in getting the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to change its guidelines. NICE now states that doctors and midwives should not routinely clamp the cord ‘earlier than one minute from the birth of the baby’. The cord should be clamped within five minutes, but left longer if the mother requests. Besides the medical benefits, the change means mothers get the chance to hold their babies for a moment while still connected to them. Ms Burleigh, a midwife for 26 years, said she had to overcome persistent doubts from colleagues, who asked who she was to query medical protocol. ‘There was quite a lot of resistance from both doctors and midwives,’ she said. ‘At times I felt like a whistleblower.’ There is also growing evidence that immediate cord-clamping can be particularly harmful for premature babies. However, she said she felt a ‘moral duty’ to challenge a practice that was not grounded in evidence. Dr Hutchon, now retired, said hospitals had blindly clamped and cut within seconds of birth for decades. He said: ‘We didn’t notice we were doing any harm because we were doing it to every baby.’ He became interested in 2003 after hearing that more premature babies survived when the cord was not cut early. But he said there was ‘continual resistance to change’ – with some doctors refusing delayed cord-clamping even today. Some still believed the theory that immediate clamping reduced the risk of mothers haemorrhaging, Dr Hutchon said, even though a 2013 study found it made no difference. Ms Burleigh, recently named Midwife of the Year by the British Journal Of Midwifery, added: ‘In 20 or 30 years I think we will look back on immediate cord-clamping and think, “What were we doing? We dropped an absolute clanger."' A spokesman for NICE said that its advice on care during childbirth was reviewed ‘at regular intervals’.


14 soldiers have been accused of abusing children as young as nine. Investigation was started last year but was only made public yesterday. French defence ministry has denied covering up the scandal.

Prompt: Summarize: Francois Hollande has vowed to 'show no mercy' if French peacekeepers are found guilty of sexual assaulting starving children in the Central African Republic. Fourteen soldiers dispatched to restore order after a 2013 coup have been accused of abusing children as young as nine as they begged for something to eat, according to a French judicial source. The investigation has been underway since last year but was only made public yesterday. The French president today said: 'If some soldiers have behaved badly, I will show no mercy.' President Francois Hollande has vowed to 'show no mercy' if French peacekeepers in Central African Republic are found guilty of raping hungry children in exchange for food. The French defence ministry has vehemently denied covering up the scandal following revelations it was made aware of the allegations in July last year when it received a leaked UN report on the subject. The ministry said it immediately launched a probe into the case when it received the news, sending investigators to the former French colony on August 1. A defence ministry spokesman urged 'great caution' because the accusations have not yet been proven, adding: 'There is no desire to hide anything. 'We are not hiding the facts, we are trying to verify the facts.' The abuse reportedly took place at a centre for displaced people near Bangui airport between December 2013  and June 2014. Paula Donovan, co-director of advocacy group AIDS-Free World, saw the report. A French soldier taking part in 'Operation Sangaris' stands guard  at the Boali church as people sit on the floor. She said: 'The children were saying that they were hungry and they thought that they could get some food from the soldiers. 'The answer was "if you do this, then I will give you food".' Of the six children testifying against the soldiers, four say they were direct victims of sexual abuse while two others witnessed it, the French judicial source revealed. The UN employee accused of the leak, Anders Kompass, turned the report over to French authorities because his bosses had failed to take action and has since been suspended, The Guardian reported. A UN spokesman confirmed  investigators had conducted a probe last year following 'serious allegations' of child abuse and sexual exploitation by French troops. French soldiers prepare to blow up captured weapons and explosive devices in Bangui on December 4, 2014. French soldiers patrol in a tank in Bangui amid dust as citizens go about their daily business. They added that an unnamed staff member had been suspended for leaking the report. Florent Geel, head of the Africa desk at the International Federation for Human Rights, said Kompass likely leaked the report because those accused are French. He said: 'When it involves Chad, there is never any follow-up. But here it involves France, where there is an independent judicial system, it could move things on.' The violence in the Central African Republic has largely pitted the Christian majority against mainly Muslim Seleka rebels who led the March 2013 coup against former leader Francois Bozize. The country has yet to react officially, but a government member who wished to remain anonymous said that if true, the allegations were 'horrible and unacceptable'. 'French soldiers cannot behave like this in a country where they came to help civilians,' they added.


WARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT. Aracely Meza, who is not the child's mother, was arrested on Monday. She is the wife of Pastor Daniel Meza who presided over church services held at a Balch Springs, Texas residence where ceremony occurred. Aracely Meza has been charged with injury to a child by omission. Witness identified child as Benjamin who said pastors said he was possessed by demons; he also went 25 days without food before he died. Police went to the home on March 26 to do a welfare check and were told by residents that a two-year-old child had died. March 22 ceremony was an attempt to resurrect the child, police claimed.

Prompt: Summarize: A shocking 'resurrection ceremony' for a  two-year-old dead boy at a Texas church has been caught on camera. In the clip capturing the attempted resurrection, the boy identified by a witness as Benjamin, is being held in the arms of Texas pastor's wife Aracely Meza as others, including a man who appears to be her husband Pastor Daniel Meza, are gathered around. The witness, who said she knew Benjamin's mother since she was pregnant with him, said the child was possessed by demons, according to pastors. A shocking 'resurrection ceremony' for a two-year-old dead boy at a Texas church has been caught on camera. Aracely Meza, who is reportedly not the child's mother, was arrested on Monday and has been charged with injury to a child by omission, said police (above Meza in the video) In the video, Aracely Meza is seen next to a man who appears to be her husband Pastor Daniel Meza, as she uses oils and prays while trying to bring the boy, identified by a witness as Benjamin, back to life (above scenes from the attempted resurrection) Aracely Meza (above), has been arrested in the case involving an attempt to resurrect a two-year-old boy at a home operating also as a church. She also said he went 25 days without food before he died. In the footage, Meza apparently uses oils to try and bring him back to life while also praying and speaking in tongues during the 'rising ceremony' lasting for hours. She also invokes Jesus to give life to the child. Meza, who is reportedly not the child's mother, was taken into custody on Monday and Balch Springs police said she has been charged with injury to a child by omission, according to NBCDFW. She is currently being held on a $100,000 bond, a police spokesman told Daily Mail Online, and more information will be available on Tuesday. Police went to a home on March 26 in Balch Springs to do a welfare check and were told by residents that a two-year-old child had died and a 'rising ceremony' was performed, according to CBS. A report from earlier this month said that services took place at the residence on Duke Drive which also operated as Iglesia Internacional Jesus es el Rey Church with services presided by Daniel and Aracely Meza (both pictured above) The ceremony held at the residence on Duke Drive was an attempt to resurrect the child, police claimed, and took place on March 22. Meza and her husband are pastors who presided over the church services held at the residence  and also lives there along with other families including that of the two-year-old boy, according to WFAA. In a report earlier this month, neighbors told WFAA that cars would fill the street for services, presided by the Mezas, but that no one knew what was happening inside of the home operating also as Iglesia Internacional Jesus es el Rey Church. 'When it was church hours they would set it up as a church, then when it was over, back to a home,' neighbor Bryan Cruz told WFAA who grew up with the children in the home. A witness said  Benjamin was possessed by demons, according to pastors. She also said he had went 25 days without food before he died. Members of the Igelisa Internacional Jesus es el Rey Church re-enact a scene from the crucifixion which on Facebook was titled as 'Drama Crucifixion & Resurrección Pascua 2014' The home was not registered or zoned to operate as a church, code inspectors for the city said, however its website states the national headquarters are at the home's address. In an earlier report, Lt Mark Maret told CBS: 'We don't know if this was to try and resurrect the spirit of the child and we don't know if this was to try and resurrect the child themselves or what exactly that service or ceremony encompasses.' Unconfirmed reports have suggested that the two-year-old boy, whose name is unknown and who neighbors had not seen, may have died either of starvation or of a fall from a chair. Emergency services do not appear to have called until police received an anonymous tip four days later. Police said there is no record of the child’s death being reported. The child's parents took the body to Mexico the following day. Two phone numbers for the single-story home were disconnected. Police went to a home on March 26 in Balch Springs, Texas, (pictured) to do a wellness check and were told that a two-year-old child had died and the body returned to Mexico. Police were now investigating. A neighbor told Daily Mail Online earlier this month that five children under the age of ten, both boys and girls, were also living at the home and had been taken away by Child Protective Services. Joy Donaldson said that she once complained to the woman who lived at the home about two of the boys, who had been bothering her dogs. The woman, whose name she did not know, told her that the children did not know any better 'because they had been taken off the streets of Mexico'. A second neighbor, Jean Turnipseed, told Daily Mail Online that she had heard  that church services were taking place at the home on Saturdays and Sunday nights, where people were being charged at the door. An investigation is underway involving both state and federal authorities.


John Higgins beats Robert Milkins 10-5 to reach second round. Higgins says he would love to challenge for World title again. But the 39-year-old admits there are many more favoured players. Graeme Dott sees off Ricky Walden 10-8.

Prompt: Summarize: Crucible thoroughbreds John Higgins and Graeme Dott led the Scottish charge on Sunday at the Betfred World Championship. Four-time winner Higgins impressed with a 10-5 first-round victory over Robert Milkins, and looked to be approaching the form that last saw him take the title four years ago. The 39-year-old fired breaks of 77, 75, 69 and a clinching 106 in the second session as he coasted home against Gloucester potter Milkins, who took the match beyond its evening interval but was thoroughly outplayed. John Higgins plays a shot during his match against Robert Milkins during the Betfred World Championships. Milkins said of his conqueror: 'It's going to take a good man to beat him on that form. 'He's playing really good stuff. I think I did well to get five frames.' Dott, unseeded this year but a proven Crucible class act and champion in 2006, was a 10-8 winner earlier as he ousted Ricky Walden. Higgins has sprung back to competitive form level this year, notably in taking the Welsh Open title in February to end a two-and-a-half-year major trophy drought. He had openly expressed fears his days as a winner were over, but Higgins is daring to dream of a fifth world title. He said: 'I'm feeling relief and pride to beat Robert because he's a dangerous player. I knew I'd lost my last four matches to him. 'I thought I hit the ball well. I missed a few but I felt good in amongst them.' Asked directly whether he was a potential champion, Higgins initially said: 'Nah. There's more and more contenders out there. I probably know what it takes to win it but there's more favoured players than me.' But the desire is there, and unmistakably he does have one eye on the trophy. Higgins added: 'It would be amazing if I could win it and go level with somebody like Ronnie O'Sullivan on five titles. That would be beyond my wildest dreams. The fire is still there. 'I've had a few sleepless nights thinking I'd never get back into the winners' circle. Luckily it happened at the Welsh Open and that's given me a bit of a boost. 'You doubt yourself definitely, especially in dark times, but now hopefully there's some good times. 'Just to win this again would be incredible. Ronnie has probably outstripped me, winning more tournaments and making more century breaks, and he's obviously chasing Stephen Hendry's records. 'But there's perhaps Hendry, Ronnie and (Steve) Davis before me winning most. If it's just those three ahead of me I can't complain. It's not a bad three to have in front of you.' Graeme Dott plays a shot during his match against Ricky Walden during the Betfred World Championships.


Dani Alves, Neymar and Adriano celebrated their victory over Celta Vigo. The flamboyant Brazilian's all wore matching double denim outfits. Jeremy Mathieu says Barcelona were poor throughout the game. The Frenchman praised his defensive partner Gerard Pique for his display. CLICK HERE for all the latest Barcelona news.

Prompt: Summarize: Barcelona stars Neymar, Dani Alves and Adriano looked delighted following their vital win over Celta Vigo in La Liga - but their choice of matching denim was somewhat questionable. The flamboyant Brazilians all played their part in helping the Catalonian side return home with all three points, following Jeremy Mathieu's winning goal. Neymar took to Instagram after his side returned to the summit of La Liga: 'We got home...important victory...Congratulations guys!!! Vamo to top.' Dani Alves (from left), Adriano and Neymar were delighted with their hard-fought victory over Celta Vigo. Dani Alves, who's being linked with a move away from the Nou Camp, also posted a similar picture of the trio. He said: 'A great day at work, a little trairagem in the picture lol Return to home with my brothas @neymarjr @adriano21c. Joy, joy , one is that every day.' Game winner Mathieu admits his side were poor and puts it down to the international break. The three Brazilians all started for Barcelona and played a crucial role in the win which saw them go top. 'Celta played well for the whole 90 minutes, but there are games that are won on little details,' the centre-back told the club's official website. 'It was a tough game. Paying after international matches is more difficult because the dynamics of the team are a bit off. 'In the first half we suffered a lot. We are Barca, but we also suffer. Jeremy Mathieu (centre) admits his side were poor throughout the match and blamed the internationals. The Frenchman celebrates after scoring the winning goal after 73 minutes despite their poor display. 'However, the most important thing is getting the three points.' The Frenchman praised his defensive partner Gerard Pique for his impressive display against a tough opposition. 'Playing with Pique is very simple,' he added. 'He is outstanding - it is amazing to play with him.' Mathieu praised Gerard Pique (right) after his impressive defensive display for Barcelona on Sunday.


Jose Mourinho reportedly targeting summer move for Koke. Spanish midfielder has been key to Atletico Madrid's recent success. Former Atletico defender Filipe Luis could be going back to Spain.

Prompt: Summarize: Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is planning a summer swoop for Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke. The club's technical director Michael Emenalo travelled to Spain on Saturday to watch the 23-year-old during Atletico's 2-1 victory against Deportivo, according to Spanish newspaper AS. The highly-rated Spaniard signed a long-term deal with Diego Simeone's side only last year, but Mourinho is reportedly planning to offer second-choice left-back Filipe Luis to his former club as a makeweight for the deal. Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho could be planning a summer swoop for Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke (above) Spanish newspaper AS report that Mourinho could offer Filipe Luis in a part-exchange deal this summer. Luis has struggled to make an impact at Stamford Bridge this season after failing to displace Spanish defender Cesar Azpilicueta from the left-back spot.

Alison Hargreaves, 32, was killed in 1995 as she descended from K2. Now her son Tom Ballard plans to conquer treacherous mountain himself. His mother was swept to her death by 260mph winds atop the mountain. At 28,251ft, K2 is considered more difficult to climb than Mount Everest.

Prompt: Summarize: Tom Ballard plans to climb K2, 20 years after his mother died descending from its peak. A climber has set his sights on the summit of K2 - the second highest mountain in the world - 20 years after his mother died attempting the same feat. Alison Hargreaves, 32, was swept to her death in 260mph winds on her descent from the Himalayan mountain in 1995. Now her son Tom Ballard, one of the world's most accomplished climbers, plans to conquer K2 himself. Mr Ballard, 26, told The Times that he saw it as his destiny to follow in his mother's footsteps. He said: 'I think it must be. At one stage I thought I would go and climb mountains for her. Then I realised that was actually a bit stupid because she had already climbed them herself. I realised I was climbing for myself. That's how I've gone on.' Last month Mr Ballard became the first to solo climb all six of the great north faces of the Alps in the winter season - and now he is training for K2. The climber was just six years old when his mother died while descending K2, which is regarded as more difficult to reach than the summit of Mount Everest, with dozens dying during attempts to reach the top. Days before her death, Mrs Hargreaves sent a fax to her son and his sister Katie. It read: 'Tom and Katie, We have arrived at our base camp. The trek was difficult — it snowed every day. The mountain I have come to climb is called K2.' Attached was a drawing of the 28,251ft mountain which would later claim her life. Mr Ballard's mother was a revered figure in the climbing world and was only the second person to climb Everest without sherpas or bottled oxygen. Alison Hargreaves (pictured with Tom and his sister Katie as children) was swept to her death in 260mph winds on her descent from the Himalalayn mountain in 1995. K2 is regarded as more difficult to reach than the summit of Mount Everest, with dozens dying during attempts to reach the top. Mrs Hargreaves, pictured with her husband Jim and thier family, was only the second person to climb Everest without sherpas or bottled oxygen. Tragic: Mr Ballard was just six years old when his mother died on her way down from the summit of K2. Her decision to take on dangerous climbs while raising a young family was criticised by some, but she shrugged off the flak, saying that fathers who went climbing did not face the same scrutiny. When she climbed the north face of the Eiger, in the Swiss Alps, in 1988, Mrs Hargreaves was pregnant with her son. Mr Ballard said he had clear memories of clambering over rocks as a child and had always known climbing was his calling. 'When I grew, I was always scrambling around on little rocks underneath the crags where my mum and dad climbed. A child, playing,' he said. 'At primary school I had something like an epiphany. Suddenly I decided that all I wanted to do with my life was just to climb. Since then that's pretty much all I have done.'


Weald Basin estimated to contain 100billion barrels of oil, new report says. UK Oil & Gas Investments claims the site could supply 30% of UK's needs. If the maximum amount of oil is extracted it will be worth £600billion. But some experts warn the site in Sussex will be difficult to exploit.

Prompt: Summarize: Trillions of pounds worth of oil – as much as the entire North Sea fields – lies beneath an area of England dubbed ‘Britain’s Dallas’, it was claimed yesterday. Analysis suggests there is up to 100billion barrels of the fossil fuel under the Home Counties. The potential goldmine in the Weald Basin, across Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire and Kent, could meet up to a third of Britain’s oil demand within 15 years, according to the consortium exploring the area. Scroll down for video. UK Oil & Gas Investments say they have discovered 100billion barrels worth of oil reserves in the Weald Basin, near Gatwick airport (pictured, the well head at Horse Hill) A map showing the location of the oil and gas deposits within the Weald Basin, which are thought to lie at between 2,500ft and 3,000ft below the ground. This could reduce reliance on oil from the Middle East and Russia and could be a major boost for British industry at a time when the North Sea supply is dwindling. But industry experts remained sceptical of the claims, with one describing them as ‘overly optimistic’. Since 1975, of an estimated 100billion barrels of oil in the UK North Sea, only 45billion have been pumped out. It is believed another 20billion barrels can be recovered before extraction becomes too difficult. Experts warned last night that only a fraction of the Weald Basin oil may be accessible for extraction. They also claimed fracking could be required to retrieve significant volumes. Stephen Sanderson, the chief executive of UKOG, said the site at Horse Hill was 'world class' and had the potential for 'significant daily oil production' at this proposed drilling site. Horse Hill Developments consortium made the discovery during test drilling in a well five miles from Gatwick Airport. UK Oil & Gas Investments, which has a 30 per cent stake, said ‘cutting-edge’ data suggested the oilfield holds 158million barrels per square mile – equating to 100billion barrels across the basin. At current crude prices, this could be worth £3.7trillion. Stephen Sanderson of UKOG, which insisted it would not use fracking, said: ‘By 2030, we could produce 10 per cent to 30 per cent of the UK’s oil demand from within the Weald area.’ Neil Ritson, of fellow consortium firm Solo Oil, said it was of ‘major economic significance’. If flow tests showed oil could be extracted, the production process could begin within 18 months, he added. US firm Nutech, which conducted the tests, estimated 3 per cent to 15 per cent of the oilfield could be extracted – up to 15billion barrels. UKOG chairman David Lenigas said drilling in the Weald could create ‘many thousands’ of jobs. Although the exploration site covered 55 square miles out of 1,100, he said the consortium was confident the entire region was oil-rich. Works: The well is situated in this container on the proposed drilling site. Exploration: Experts are now trying to work out how much of the oil will be properly recoverable. Mr Lenigas dismissed suggestions it would be hard to extract from the site, saying the ground was limestone which acted ‘like a big sponge’ and that ‘you can effectively suck the oil out’. The Australian entrepreneur, who lives in Monaco, is a director of 16 British companies – and has been criticised in the past for exaggerating the success of his enterprises to jack up share prices. UKOG shares soared after the firm claimed to have discovered a ‘world-class potential resource’. However, Professor Alastair Fraser, of Imperial College London, said the claims were ‘overly optimistic’. A study by the university suggested a maximum of 40billion barrels in the region, while the British Geological Survey estimated the basin held just 4.4billion barrels of shale oil. Discovery: The Horse Hill site near Gatwick in Sussex, where a large amount of oil has apparently been found. Drilling: Exploratory wells have found that the ground contains 158million barrels per square mile. Development: The site is owned by a number of companies including UK Oil & Gas Investments. The professor added: ‘The question will be how much of it we can actually get out and whether it is commercially and technologically viable to do so.’ Malcolm Graham-Wood, of oil consultants HydroCarbon Capital, suggested residents might object to rows of onshore oil wells, adding: ‘The question is can it produce oil? It is extremely difficult with a very low recovery rate. This is potentially interesting but I wouldn’t attribute any value yet.’ But Mr Lenigas said: ‘To all those people who say I am hiking up the share price, I am not. I am just saying what the Nutech report says … I feel passionate that this is globally significant for Britain.’ A Department of Energy & Climate Change spokesman said: ‘The Government welcomes any new information which expands our understanding of the potential of the Weald Basin.’ There might be 100billion barrels of oil beneath the Home Counties – but residents living above it may not receive a penny of the profits. The Government owns the land under your house – meaning homeowners have no right to any oil found beneath them. Once oil has been found, oil companies pay the Government for an annual licence which gives them the right to excavate the oil and keep the profits. The Government also gains money from the tax it receives on the oil extracted. The only way an oil company would pay the surface landowner is if it wanted to base its drilling site on their land. However, firms that undertake fracking, which is seen as a more intrusive and controversial method of extracting oil than simply drilling, must sometimes agree to provide ‘community benefits’. This could include building a playground or school nearby the fracking site, and is seen as compensation for residents. Oil companies need to consult communities if they plan to undertake fracking in their area, as well as gaining planning permission from the local council. Oil rush: The Weald Basin, of which Horse Hill is part, could contain a total of 100billion barrels. Mystery: It is not yet known how much of the area's oil will be easily recoverable. Boom: The Sussex countryside could soon be dotted with oil wells (file photo)


British Veterinary Association has withdrawn its support of pilot culls. Free-running badgers would be trapped and shot in controversial method. BVA said the scheme had not demonstrated it was effective and humane. But it says it still supports badger culling to tackle tuberculosis in cattle.

Prompt: Summarize: The British Veterinary Association has withdrawn its support for the shooting of free-running badgers in controversial pilot culls. The two four-year pilot culls in Somerset and Gloucestershire should be completed by trapping the badgers in cages and then shooting them, says the BVA. It concluded that the first two years of culling had not demonstrated conclusively that ‘controlled shooting’ of free-running badgers could be effective and humane. The two four-year pilot culls in Somerset and Gloucestershire should be completed by trapping the badgers in cages and then shooting them, says the BVA. The BVA said it still supported badger culling to tackle tuberculosis in cattle. Animal welfare campaigners welcomed the news but said the BVA’s ongoing support for cage-trapping and shooting was ‘regrettable’. It comes after the Environment Secretary promised to roll out more culls across the country if the Tories win the election. Addressing the National Farmers Union conference in February, Liz Truss said 'any future Conservative government' would push ahead with 'a wider roll-out of the culls', which have been fiercely criticised by wildlife groups. Her comments came as NFU president Meurig Raymond said the incidence of TB had decreased on farms in two pilot areas in Somerset and Gloucestershire where culling of badgers has taken place over the last two years. The Environment Secretary promised to roll out more culls across the country if the Tories win the election. He urged politicians not to make the controversial cull 'a party political issue' in the run-up to the general election, and criticised Labour for pledging to give up on culling. Ms Truss pledged that any future Conservative government would 'take the difficult decisions to deal with this disease'. She told the conference: 'It is shameful that under the previous government bovine TB increased nine-fold and we ended up with the highest levels of the disease in Europe. 'It is incredible that they would like to make the same mistake again.' She said the Government's strategy included cattle movement controls, vaccination in 'edge' areas around disease hotspots, and culling where the disease is rife. 'We will not let up, whatever complaints we get from protest groups. We're in it for the long haul. We will not walk away,' she said to the conference, to applause from farmers. In Gloucestershire just 274 badgers were culled in the second year of the pilot, falling far short of the minimum 615 estimated to be needed to deliver reductions in TB in livestock, leading the chief vet to admit the benefits of the cull might not be realised there. The Government claimed the low numbers in Gloucestershire reflected the 'challenges of extensive unlawful protest and intimidation' by anti-cull campaigners. In Somerset, where the other pilot cull has been carried out, a sufficient number of badgers were killed this year to lead to expected reductions in TB in cattle, with 341 culled, in a required range of 316 to 785.


Social media and smart phones cause a minefield of problems while dating. Being clingy on Facebook or constantly on your mobile can be off-putting. FEMAIL provides ten tips for stress-free dating.

Prompt: Summarize: Modern technology is supposed to be making our lives easier, but often all it does is create more pitfalls. 21st century additions like a Facebook page, an Instagram profile and a smart phone often end up doing more damage to a budding relationship than good. These days we are more connected than ever, but that regularly pushes a potential partner further away. Smart phones and social media often cause nightmare for men and women on dates (picture posed by models) On a date in the 1990s, the biggest fails a person could be responsible for were a lack of conversation, food in the teeth or a man asking the woman to split the bill. Nowadays, the man or woman is also likely to try and photograph their food or keep checking their phone at the table. Girls are often caught out spending too much time in the bathroom, while they compare notes on their evening with friends as their date is sat back at the table. And after the evening is over both parties can fall foul of the temptation to get in touch too quickly - texting within hours of the meeting or checking out the other person's Facebook profile immediately. While on a date it is considered rude to leave your phone on the table  (picture posed by models) To save the embarrassment of being chucked before the relationship has heated up because of your addiction to technology, Blu e-cigarettes have listed the top ten ways to avoid showing yourself up. They include leaving conversations about the dating app Tinder to evenings with your friends, and checking with a potential boyfriend or girlfriend before changing your relationship on Facebook. - Keep phones off the dining table; your date wants to see your face, not your screen. - Don’t be tempted to take a snap of your food for instagram - it will look like you’re more interested in your followers than your date. - Refrain from ‘checking in’ your location online too; it could easily turn into a ‘live-tweet’ scenario or worse, a ‘helpful’ friend might drop by to see how it’s going. - Keep it offline; immediately changing your relationship status on Facebook if the date’s gone well is a sure-fire way to scare off your date. - If it goes really well, it might be time to move the chat away from text; take it to the next level and give them a call a few days after the date. - Do keep your taxi app handy in case you need to make a quick exit from a date disaster and you don’t have any cash. - If you must update your friends on how the date’s going, use snapchat – it won’t leave any evidence! - Don’t brag about the number of matches you’ve had on Tinder, they won’t appreciate it. - Don’t assume your date will find that funny cat meme as hilarious as your friends did! - And finally, leave the Google Glass at home, as recording your companion for post-date analysis isn’t likely to get you a second date.

Annabelle Cox was born at just 20 weeks in Canberra on May 5 last year. Parents Jaye and Matthew made decision to give birth prematurely after scans showed she had developed serious form of Spina Bifida. They contacted Angel Gowns after making heartbreaking decision so Jaye's wedding dress could be redesigned. Charity turns donated wedding dresses into outfits for babies. Annabelle was born weighing just 290 grams and survived for five minutes.

Prompt: Summarize: A mother who made the heartbreaking decision to give birth to her sick baby at just 20 weeks had her wedding dress redesigned so her tiny daughter could be buried in it. Jaye Cox and her husband, Matthew, decided to deliver their daughter Annabelle prematurely on May 5 last year after scans showed she had developed a serious form of Spina Bifida. Annabelle was born weighing just 290 grams at Canberra Hospital and her distraught parents were able to cradle her in the short five minutes she survived. Jaye and Matthew Cox delivered their daughter Annabelle at just 20 weeks in Canberra Hospital after scans showed she had developed a serious form of Spina Bifida. 'We were planning a life for her and you think you're going to see her laugh, walk, talk, go to school, get married,' Ms Cox told Daily Mail Australia. 'But we were faced with this decision - do we let her go and free her of the suffering, or do we go ahead and bring her into the world and watch her suffer. 'My husband and I had to make the decision to let her be at peace.' Immediately after they made the decision, Annabelle's parents contacted Angel Gowns - a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to turning donated wedding gowns into outfits for babies who die too soon. 'I wanted something beautiful and meaningful to bury Annabelle in. She'll never get to wear a wedding dress... so this is as close as she will get to that,' Ms Cox said. 'We were able to send her to heaven in something beautiful.' After they made the decision to give birth prematurely, the Cox's contacted Angel Gowns to help the couple create a dress from Jaye's wedding gown to bury Annabelle in. Annabelle was born weighing just 290 grams at Canberra Hospital and her parents and siblings, Charlotte and Sophie, were able to cradle her in the short five minutes she survived. Angel Gowns delivered Annabelle's dress on the day she was born and Ms Cox dressed her so the family could spend time her. 'She was born with a very faint heartbeat. My husband delivered her and she wrapped her finger around his - for him it was really special,' Ms Cox said. 'They put her on my chest and she was alive for about five minutes. She never took a breath because her lungs were to undeveloped. 'My husband and I stayed the night and sat there holding her for most of the night. She looked beautiful in her gown, it was very emotional.' Angel Gowns came and picked up Ms Cox's wedding dress and returned the redesigned version for Annabelle on the day she was going to be born. Angel Gowns is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to turning donated wedding gowns into outfits for babies who pass away too soon. The family, including her two older sisters Charlotte and Sophie, were able to take photos with Annabelle in her gown before the funeral. Angel Gowns created a replica dress for the family to have in their house and Ms Cox says she looks at it every day to remember her daughter. 'This would never have happened if it wasn't for Fiona Kirk and her team at Angel Gowns. Just to know we could bury her in something so meaningful... we are so grateful.' Angel Gowns currently donates outfits to more than 80 hospitals and funeral homes across Australia. They also deal directly with families like the Cox's, as well as a number of different children charities.

Ronnie Lungu successfully sued Wiltshire Police for race discrimination. Acting sergeant was turned down for permanent role despite exam pass. Tribunal rules he was singled out as 'marked man' due to his ethnicity. Chief constable says he is 'concerned' and 'lessons will be learned'

Prompt: Summarize: PC Ronnie Lungu has won a race discrimination case against Wiltshire Police. A black police constable has won a race discrimination case against his force after they did not promote him due to the colour of his skin. Ronnie Lungu was singled out as 'a marked man' by Wiltshire Police solely due to his race, the employment tribunal ruled. It found the 40-year-old was passed over for promotion in favour of white colleagues after his internal assessments were secretly downgraded to make him appear unworthy. It also heard evidence that derogatory comments were made about Mr Lungu based on his colour violating his dignity. When the PC raised concerns with his superiors they were not taken seriously and his complaints were brushed off as trivial. The force - which has only 16 ethnic minority officers out of a total of just over 1,000 - had denied the claims. But the tribunal ruled that the Zimbabwe-born officer was unlawfully discriminated against on grounds of race. Mr Lungu said: 'When I realised I was being singled out and treated badly because of the colour of my skin I felt so angry and upset. 'I had worked all my career to serve the community and be the best police officer I could but I was being penalised because I was black. 'It was totally unacceptable. But what made matters worse was that when I did raise the issue internally it wasn't taken seriously.' The tribunal in Bristol was told that the father-of-three joined the force as a police constable in 2003 after moving to England and 10 years later was temporarily promoted to the role of sergeant. After passing his sergeant's exam he applied for the role permanently, but he was turned down. Employment judges were told he was the only black candidate out of 20 officers to go for the position. The panel found that his internal assessments were specifically downgraded in order to make him appear unworthy of promotion. It also was told that a senior member of staff were invited to make negative comments about PC Lungu during an appraisal. The tribunal concluded that Wiltshire Police had singled out Mr Lungu as a 'marked man' on grounds of his race. The judgment read: 'The reduction in the scoring has the very significant effect in terms of making it appear reasonable that the one black applicant for promotion was scoring lower than the 19 white applicants and should therefore not be promoted.' It went on: 'This behaviour is so extreme that the Tribunal cannot think of any apparent motive other than one that is directly related to [the] Claimant's race.' Despite his treatment, Mr. Lungu is still serving as a PC with the force. 'I joined the force to uphold the law and I still would like to remain with the force,' he said. 'I need reassurance from Wiltshire Police that they will take issues of discrimination seriously in future and I want to see new procedures put in place to tackle discrimination and better education among senior members of staff in how to deal with complaints.' Mr Lungu said he was left 'upset' and 'angry' after being penalised because he was black. His lawyer, Juliette Franklin, of Slater and Gordon, said: 'It's extremely disappointing that people are facing this sort of prejudice and discrimination. 'Wiltshire Police needs to take this tribunal ruling very seriously and take swift steps to address any failings which have been identified. 'The force needs to ensure that officers feel confident that if they experience racism or discrimination that any complaint will be taken seriously.' Wiltshire Chief Constable Patrick Geenty said the force was 'concerned' by the findings and would 'learn lessons' from the case. Wiltshire Police Chief Constable Patrick Geenty, pictured, said he was 'concerned' by the findings. He said: 'Wiltshire Police take this matter very seriously and I am concerned by the Tribunal's findings. Clearly, the issues this raises do need to be carefully considered. 'We continue to work hard to embed our values and behaviours and the Code of Ethics within the organisation. 'Wiltshire Police will learn lessons from this process and continue to move forward.' He added: 'As an organisation we have a very small number of Black and Ethnic Minority (BME) staff (16 officers, 15 police staff and 3 Police Special Constables) and this judgment raises some serious concerns about how an officer felt he was treated. 'I have no doubt that this judgment will affect members of the Black and Ethnic Minority community who might be considering joining Wiltshire Police. 'I want to reassure the public that Wiltshire Police are committed to increasing diversity in the Force so that we can reflect the communities we serve. 'This case was complex and there were a number of points covered. With our legal advisors, we are undertaking an assessment of the Tribunal's findings in order to decide whether to appeal any aspects of the judgment. 'Following this assessment, decisions will be made on what action we may need to take and how we can ensure that lessons are learnt from this case. 'We will continue to engage with the officer and his representatives to ensure that he can continue to be a valued member of Wiltshire Police. 'All necessary training and support will continue to be provided to him.'

Images were taken at the dawn of photography by Hugh Owen and give a glimpse of how the city looked in 1850. They are being put up for auction in Cirencester tomorrow and are expected to fetch between £20,000-£30,000. The unique pictures provide a rare chance to see what Bristol looked like before it was heavily bombed in the war.

Prompt: Summarize: Taken at the dawn of photography, these unique pictures are some of the first ever taken of the city of Bristol, nearly 100 years before much of its historic centre was destroyed by Nazi bombing. The images, captured between 1850 and 1855 by photographer Hugh Owen, have surfaced after being put up for auction - and could fetch up to £30,000. Everything from the waterfront, city centre and St Mary Redcliffe church can be seen in the shots, as well as The Fourteen Stars Tavern building which was pulled down in 1857. It became part of the site for The Bristol Brewery Georges before that was closed in 1999 and later turned into a block of flats. Many of the buildings pictured have changed dramatically between the 19th century and today, particularly the area of High Street. Other shots are almost identical, including the one of St John's Gate at the Church of St John the Baptist, which shows that little is different in certain areas that escaped the heavy bombing during the Second World War. The albumen prints were made in the 1870s from the original paper negatives of the early 1850s. They are due to go up for auction in Cirencester tomorrow. Stepping back in time: The Fourteen Stars Tavern (pictured left) can be seen in a photo believed to have been taken shortly before it was knocked down. It was replaced by The Bristol Brewery Georges, which has since closed and been converted into flats. As it is today (right) Many uses: There was a builder, undertaker and joiner stationed at Broad Quay Bristol when this photo was taken between 1850 and 1855. How Broad Quay Bristol looks now. It has become restaurants but retained some of its old character for people to enjoy while they eat. Little difference: The view through St John's Gate at the Church of St John the Baptist has not changed much between 1850 and today - apart from the road works. High Street in Bristol (left in 1850) is one of the areas where the buildings have changed quite dramatically over the past 160 years. The structure was overhauled in 1962 to make way for what is the former Norwich Union building. Today it stands defunct and boarded up (right) This fascinating picture shows Sleep Street in Bristol at the dawn of photography, believed to have been taken between 1850 and 1855. St Mary Redcliffe church was constructed from the 12th to the 15th centuries and has been a place of Christian worship for over 900 years. Pictured left is what the towering structure looked like in the 19th century after being snapped by Hugh Owen and, right, how it appears now. Hugh Owen's photograph shows St Peter's Hospital, which was destroyed in the Bristol Blitz in 1940. Built as a merchant's house, it had been a showcase of Jacobean architecture before it was bombed. Not much change: The church is renowned for the beauty of its Gothic architecture and is classed as a Grade I listed building by English Heritage. Queen Elizabeth I is said to have described it as 'the fairest, goodliest, and most famous parish church in England' St Mary-Le-Port Street in Bristol. The albumen prints were made in the 1870s from the original paper negatives of the early 1850s. Area of beauty: College Green, Bristol, as it looked in the 19th century. A replica of the Bristol High Cross had been erected there, in the shadow of the cathedral, because the original was deemed too fragile to move again. Missing landmark: The remains of the replica cross can now be seen in nearby Berkeley Square, where they were transferred in about 1950 from College Green (pictured). Much of the trees which shielded the cathedral are now gone. Another image of Sleep Street in Bristol. It is believed the set of pictures could fetch up to £30,000 when they go up for auction tomorrow. This photo shows Host Street in Bristol. It provides a glimpse into the past as much of the historic city centre was destroyed by bombing during the Second World War.


Harvey Boulter revealed former defence secretary took a friend abroad. He is now giving money to the opposition of Tom Tugendhat.

Prompt: Summarize: A pro-Ukip businessman who forced Liam Fox to resign as Defence Secretary is behind an extraordinary bid to defeat a ‘golden boy’ Tory candidate. Tycoon Harvey Boulter has already given £30,000 to the Ukip candidate fighting Fox in his Somerset seat in a continued vendetta against him. Boulter is also spending another £30,000 to try to defeat Tom Tugendhat, who is standing for the Tories in Tonbridge and West Malling, Kent. Scroll down for video. Pro-Ukip businessman Harvey Boulter (above), who forced Liam Fox to resign as Defence Secretary, is behind an extraordinary bid to defeat a ‘golden boy’ Tory candidate. Tugendhat’s father, Sir Michael Tugendhat, is the High Court judge who awarded Fox a six-figure sum in damages after he sued Boulter for libellous remarks made on Sky TV. Fox resigned from the Cabinet in 2011 after Boulter revealed details of how Fox’s close friend, businessman Adam Werritty, accompanied him on overseas trips as Defence Secretary. Mr Boulter said: ‘This may look like naked revenge and in a sense it is. I was outraged with what happened in the court case.’ A Tory Party spokesman last night declined to comment. Fox (above) resigned from the Cabinet in 2011 after Boulter revealed details of how Fox’s close friend, businessman Adam Werritty, accompanied him on overseas trips as Defence Secretary.


Tim Sherwood took time to reply to Aston Villa fan Charlie Pye. The 6-year-old applied for the Villa job when Paul Lambert was sacked. The youngster wanted his mum and dad to be assistant managers. Sherwood admitted that he just pipped Pye to the post for the hotseat. CLICK HERE for all the latest Aston Villa news.

Prompt: Summarize: Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood has offered encouragement to a six-year-old fan he beat to the job. Charlie Pye, from Leamington Spa, applied for the Villa hotseat after Paul Lambert was sacked in February. The Villa fan wanted a chocolate bar as a win bonus and would have agreed terms for a signed claret and blue football, a WWE wrestling figure and some sweets. Sherwood wrote Charlie a letter congratulating him on his credentials, despite missing out on the job. Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood (centre) showed his softer side by replying to 6-year-old Charlie Pye. He wrote: 'From your letter it is clear to see that you would indeed be an ideal candidate for the job due to your knowledge of the game - and your very capable backroom staff, of course! 'Hopefully you're not too disappointed at missing out and I'm informed that I just managed to pip you to the post so you were very close to being offered the job. 'Our chief executive Tom Fox has informed me that the club would like your permission to keep the letter on file 'just in case' - although I'm hoping I will be successful at this great football club. The youngster applied for the role when Paul Lambert was sacked but was pipped to the post by Sherwood. 'I will certainly be aiming to make you and all the other supporters happy. 'In terms of your football career, I want to wish Norton Lindsey every success this season. Well done on being appointed captain. I was a captain during my own playing career - it's a special honour.' Sherwood has guided Villa six points above the relegation zone in the Barclays Premier League after Saturday's 1-0 win at former club Tottenham and taken them to Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool. Charlie had written to chief executive Tom Fox after Lambert was sacked with Villa in the relegation zone earlier this year. Pye is captain of Norton Lindsey and got a special message from Sherwood about being a captain. He wrote: 'I would appoint my mum and dad as assistant managers so they can drive me to the training ground each day. My mum is also very good at making bacon sandwiches for the players if that helps.' Charlie told the club's official site: 'I never expected a letter from the manager but I was absolutely delighted to get one. 'What he wrote was brilliant - it meant a lot to me. Even the stuff about congratulating me on being a captain was really special.' The 6-year-old would have appointed his parents as assistant managers if he had been offered the dream job.


Atletico Madrid leapfrogged Valencia in race for third position. The La Liga duo are battling for automatic Champions League berth. Antoine Griezmann scored his 15th goal of the season in the fifth minute. Saul Niguez added a second before the interval to double his side's lead.

Prompt: Summarize: Atletico Madrid turned up the heat on Valencia in the battle for La Liga's third automatic Champions League berth with club top scorer Antoine Griezmann setting them on the way to a 2-0 stroll at bottom side Cordoba on Saturday. The victory for the champions at Cordoba's El Arcangel stadium in balmy Andalucia lifted Atletico above Valencia and onto 62 points from 29 matches. Valencia have 60 points in fourth and can reclaim third spot with a win at home to sixth-placed Villarreal on Sunday. France forward Griezmann struck his 15th league goal of the campaign in the fifth minute after stealing the ball, surging forward from midfield and cracking a precise low shot into the bottom corner. Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann scored his 15th goal of the season by netting opener. Saul Niguez doubled Atletico's lead in the 39th minute to ensure his side leapfrogged Valencia. Valencia are currently two points behind Atletico Madrid but do have a game in hand over their top four rivals. Midfielder Saul Niguez, returning from injury, nodded a second in the 39th before Cordoba had a couple of decent efforts in the second half but could not avoid slipping to a 10th successive defeat. One more loss at Deportivo La Coruna on Wednesday and they will equal the worst run in Spain's top flight of 11 defeats suffered by Las Palmas in 1960. 'It was not an easy game at all and the rhythm was slow because of the heat,' Saul said in an interview with Spanish television. Griezmann is congratulated by his Atletico Madrid team-mates after scoring against basement side Cordoba. 'But it was a good win for us which we needed,' added the 20-year-old, who has not played since sustaining a painful blow to the kidneys in the Champions League game at Bayer Leverkusen at the end of February. 'The team is in good shape, you can see in training that we have the same excitement and desire to win as always and that is the most important thing.' Atletico also stayed hard on the heels of second-placed Real Madrid, who have 64 points, four behind leaders Barcelona. Real, who have lost three of their last four games in all competitions, host Granada and Barca play at Celta Vigo on Sunday. Europa League champions Sevilla, the only side unbeaten at home in La Liga this season, have 58 points in fifth after they beat visiting King's Cup finalists Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at the Sanchez Pizjuan.

Prompt: Summarize: An 18-year-old mother-of-one had two heart attacks before dying from multiple organ failure after taking M-Cat at a house party, her family have said. Abby Swinfield, from Castle Donington, in Derbyshire, was partying with friends when she was rushed to hospital in the early hours of March 30. Miss Swinfield, who is believed to have a son, three, was taken to Good Hope Hospital in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, where she was placed in a coma, but died a week later. Abby Swinfield, 18, a mother-of-one from Castle Donington, in Derbyshire, was rushed to hospital in the early hours of March 30 after a house party in Tamworth where it is thought she took M-Cat. Following Miss Swinfield's death, police have arrested one girl for supplying drugs, but Miss Swinfield's cousin has claimed she didn't take the drug voluntarily, saying her drink was spiked. Neighbours say ambulances arrived at this property at 1am. After arriving at hospital Miss Swinfield was put into a coma, but died a week later. Police are still waiting for the result of the post-mortem but it is believed the teenager had taken the illegal Class B drug Mephedrone - more commonly known as MCat or Meow Meow. Miss Swinfield's mother Kay, 39, said: 'I'm devastated. It happened at [her friend] Lauren's house. 'Abby hadn't seen Lauren in three years but she kept contacting her and saying "come to mine for a party. We got a phone call that night saying she was at the hospital. 'Doctors told me she died of multiple organ failure after suffering two heart attacks. 'They said she'd been lying in the same position for a long time because she had a big blister on her back.' Abby's cousin Lydia Moore, 18, added: 'We don't think she took it on her own accord. We think her drink was spiked. 'Abby was a perfect girl who would be there for you if you needed it. She had an amazing heart. She had so many friends. Miss Swinfield's mother, Kay, said she is 'devastated' over her daughter's death, saying she suffered two heart attacks before dying of multiple organ failure after taking the drug. Miss Swinfield has a son, who is believed to be three years old. Her cousin Lydia Moore, 18, said the youngster keeps asking for his mother. 'She had a beautiful son and she loved him. What's heartbreaking is her son keeps asking for his mom. Someone has taken his mom from him. The family has been torn apart.' Police have arrested a 20-year-old girl on suspicion of supplying Class B drugs, and she has been released on bail. Staffordshire police said they have arrested a 20-year-old girl on suspicion of supplying drugs, amid allegations Miss Swinfield's drink was spiked. Linus Pebliauskas, 29, who lives on Bridgwater Street, where the party was held, said: 'I didn't know who lived at the house but there were many young lads going in and out of there. 'There was drinking throughout the day and not just at weekends. It was a bit of a party house from what I could tell.' Yesterday a friend who was at the party, but did not want to be named, added: 'We are in absolute shock. 'There was a house party and there were loads of people there, I don't know how she got the drugs. 'She had a three-year-old boy, it is so tragic. 'Her mum Kay is absolutely distraught. She is really angry about what happened and the fact there were drugs at this party. 'She had come down to visit friends and have a good night out and now she is dead, I cannot believe it. 'She was a very popular girl and we are just completely numb at the moment. I can't get my head around it.' A spokeswoman for Staffordshire Police added: 'She has been released on police bail pending further investigation until a date in June. 'A post-mortem examination will take place in the coming days to help establish the cause of death. 'Anyone with information on the incident is urged to call Staffordshire Police on 101 quoting incident 790 of March 30.' Police had previously warned about the use of M-Cat in Tamworth after a raid two months ago during which 4lbs of the drug, worth thousands of pounds, was discovered.


Soil underneath a slide in the park showed extremely high radiation levels. Has raised fears for the health of children in the Toshima ward of Tokyo. Days after traces of radiation found at Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's office.

Prompt: Summarize: A playground in Tokyo has been found to have dangerously high levels of radiation, which has raised fears for the health of children in the area. Soil underneath a slide at the park in the Toshima ward in the north-east of the Japanese capital, showed radiation readings of up to 480 microsieverts per hour. This is nearly half the recommended annual limit of exposure for a person. Danger: Japanese authorities detected an unusually high level of radiation around playground equipment in this Tokyo park (pictured) Safety: Authorities cordoned off the park after high levels of radiation were detected underneath a slide. It was not immediately clear why radiation levels were so high in the park, which opened two years after the 2011 Fukushima disaster. Authorities believe that the radiation could be coming from something buried underneath the park. The playground has now been fenced off with an orange barricade. Park representative Kyoko Tsujimura said: 'We are still checking what caused these elevated radiation levels and what type of radioactive substance it is.' The city has set up a health advice office to answer queries from concerned parents. According to the International Commission on Radiological Protection recommendations, members of the public should not be exposed to more than 1000 microsieverts per year. Japan has seen heightened concern over radiation since the 2011 failure of a nuclear plant in Fukushima following an earthquake and tsunami, which led to leaks of radioactive water. In the months after the nuclear meltdowns, concerned parents and citizens began measuring radiation levels in Tokyo schools and parks. Thousands of people are still living in temporary shelters and have been unable to return home in areas closest to Tokyo Electric Power's nuclear plant. Elsewhere, a drone with a small amount of radiation was found on Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's office building this week. Clean up: Workers carry away a container after extremely high levels of radiation were detected in the park. Tests: Following two rounds of testing, officials found high levels of radiation on a section of the equipment.


Amir Khan has rejected a £5million fight with Kell Brook in June. Khan claims that Brook only wants to fight him for 'one big payday' Brook will struggle to fight one of boxing's big names, according to Khan. Khan says Brook is nowhere near Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. WATCH HERE: Mayweather vs Pacquiao official advert released. Freddie Roach: Pacquiao better equipped to beat Mayweather than  in 2010. CLICK HERE for all the latest news from the world of boxing.

Prompt: Summarize: Amir Khan believes Kell Brook has called him out so that he can have the 'one big payday' which has so far eluded him during his 10-and-a-half year career. Brook, who defeated Jo Jo Dan to retain his IBF welterweight title last month, immediately challenged Khan in a post-fight interview but the Bolton-born boxer has instead agreed a bout on May 30, with his opponent yet to be confirmed. Khan has reiterated his intention to take on Brook within the next 12 months, although he insists that the undefeated 28-year-old only wants the fight because of the money it will earn him. Amir Khan (left), pictured during his last fight against Devon Alexander, has blasted Kell Brook's motives. Brook (right) shakes hands with British Superbike champion Shane Byrne at Donington Park on Tuesday. In an interview with iFL TV, Khan said: 'He's only faced one decent opponent in his whole career, so he has no room to talk. It seems to me that he's just calling me out for that one big payday. 'If he keeps going on like this, that one big payday fight for him will never happen because at the end of the day, he's just trying to win fans over by mentioning my name when he knows that I can't fight then because of Ramadan. 'And he's putting down my opponents, who are still better opponents than his opponents, like Jo Jo Dan, who should be called No No Dan, to be honest with you, because end of day, he's not done anything in his career.' Khan had announced a fight with Chris Algieri next month but he has now backtracked on that, claiming that there are 'some more options on the table'. Khan has now denied that he will face Chris Algieri next month, claiming there are 'some more options' Chris Algieri lost every round to Manny Pacquiao when he took on the Filipino star last November. Brook is desperate to fight Khan but his fellow Brit rejected the chance to face him at Wembley in June. A £5million clash with Brook at Wembley on June 13 was also an option but Khan rejected the offer as he will not fight during Ramadan because of his Islamic faith. He added: 'Like I said, this Algieri fight, if it happens, it's making me a lot of money; money that Kell Brook's not seen. That's why he's probably dying. Amir's making millions when he's not even seen his first million. 'There's classes in boxing. There's fighters in boxing who are the A-class fighters, the likes of Manny Pacquiao and Mayweather, who talk about and mention and say they know who Amir Khan is. 'When it comes to Kell Brook, who knows Kell Brook in America? Which fighter, apart from Shawn Porter, knows Kell Brook? Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao don't know who Kell Brook is, so I don't know what he's going on about trying to say he's a big name. 'Kell Brook's going on like he's the next guy to fight Mayweather when he's not even a big ticket seller. He might be big in his own backyard in Sheffield, but other than Sheffield, no-one knows him. Brook is hoping to fight Khan within the next 12 months as he looks to extend his unbeaten streak. Khan claims that Brook is not even a big name in the UK and is not able to face the world's biggest names. 'The way he's tried to come across to the US public is like he's a super-big name in the UK. He's not a big name in the UK.' And Khan insists that he is not avoiding Brook, even though the fight will be of greater benefit to the Sheffield-born star. 'Look, do I need the fight against Kell Brook?,' said Khan. 'I make a lot of money regardless if I fight Kell Brook. 'I will make a lot of money in this sport and I've made a lot of money in this sport of boxing. Kell Brook needs me to make that big money. 'Without me, he'll never make that big money unless he goes out and fights the top guys like Pacquiao, Mayweather, and Marquez, but I can't see him fighting those guys because he's always scared to get beat by them and lose his title.'


The home also boasts a 1,400 sq ft roof deck and a 360 degree view of White Rock Lake and the city's downtown. Architect Matt Mooney wanted to stay true to the materials and thus left the ceilings exposed to show the containers. Containers were also used to build a stunning two-story glass-paneled tower that mirrors the shape of the pool. 200 people watched as 18-wheelers transported the materials that would become this stunning three-bedroom home.

Prompt: Summarize: A Dallas architect has taken 14 shipping containers and transformed them into a stunningly modern 3,700-square-foot three-bedroom home. The home, dubbed 'PV14', also boasts a 1,400 sq ft roof deck that can fit up to 150 people, a 40ft long swimming pool on the ground floor and a 360 degree view of White Rock Lake and the sparkling lights of the city's downtown. Matt Mooney wanted to stay true to the materials that became the foundation for his home. Dallas architects Matt Mooney and Michael Gooden have transformed 14 shipping containers into a stunningly modern home. The 3,700 sq ft three-bedroom home, dubbed 'PV14,' boasts a 40ft long swimming pool on the ground floor that reflects the two-story glass-paneled tower, also built out of the containers. The home also features a 1,400 sq ft roof deck that can fit up to 150 people and has a 360 degree view of White Rock Lake and downtown Dallas. Mooney wanted to stay true to the materials that  built his home and thus all the ceilings were left exposed. The ceilings have been left exposed and the shipping container gates remained unpainted when they were converted into bedroom doors. Architect Michael Gooden, who worked with Mooney on PV14, said the designers wanted people to know what they were standing in when they stepped into the home. Gooden said the house's walls are made of sheet rock, which would make the home look 'normal' if the ceilings weren't left exposed, he told D Magazine. Gooden said the designers wanted people to know what they were standing in when they stepped into the home. Gooden said the house's walls are made of sheet rock, which would make the home look 'normal' if the ceilings weren't left exposed. Because the walls of the shipping containers were removed, Gooden said columns had to be placed around the house to restore structural integrity to the materials. Because the walls of the shipping containers were removed, Gooden said columns had to be placed around the house to restore structural integrity to the materials. Spray foam was also used between the building layers, to provide insulation that the containers can't provide, according to Inhabitat. But one of the most striking uses of the containers is the two-story, glass-paneled tower that overlooks and mirrors the shape of the house's long, slim pool, which carries the tower's reflection. On the house's open-floor first level, which is dedicated to entertaining, the polished cement used for the ground corresponds to the sleek steel of the shipping containers revealed overhead.

Deep porches protect the home from direct sunlight while still allowing natural light to seep in, according to the Houston Chronicle. Mooney knew he wanted to build a home out of shipping containers 25 years ago, but it was only just recently he and his wife Barbara, a retired nurse, found the perfect spot - in the same neighborhood where they had lived for 23 years. A crew of 18-wheelers, with an audience of 200 people, transported the shipping containers to the chosen spot, which is on one of the highest elevations in the city - offering one of the best views. And after more than two years of design and construction, and a final tour for the Dallas chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the couple are finally preparing to move into their new home.
