Elderly people who exercise 'live five years longer'

Regular exercise in old age has as powerful an effect on life expectancy as giving up smoking, researchers say.
The analysis of 5,700 elderly men in Norway showed those doing three hours of exercise a week lived around five years longer than the sedentary.
The authors, writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, called for campaigns to encourage fitness in older people.
The study comes as a charity warns about low levels of exercise.
In the study - conducted by Oslo University Hospital - found both light and vigorous exercise extended life expectancy.
Official advice in the UK recommends 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week in the over-65s.

Boost exercise

The trial tracking 68 to 77 year olds found that doing less than an hour a week of light exercise had no impact.
But overall those putting in the equivalent of six, 30-minute sessions of any intensity, were 40% less likely to have died during the 11-year study.
The report said: "Even when men were 73 years of age on average at start of follow-up, active persons had five years longer expected lifetime than the sedentary."
It added that physical activity was as "beneficial as smoking cessation" at reducing deaths.
"Public health strategies in elderly men should include efforts to increase physical activity in line with efforts to reduce smoking behaviour."
The report did not look at how active people were earlier in their lives.

'Too lazy'

However, the study comes as the British Heart Foundation publishes a report warning people are getting too little exercise.
Its analysis shows that the percentage of adults doing no moderate exercise is:
  • 69% in Portugal
  • 55% in Poland
  • 46% in France
  • 44% in the UK
  • 34% in Croatia
  • 26% in Germany
  • with Netherlands doing relatively well at 14%
Julie Ward, from the charity, said: "Regular physical activity, whatever your age, is beneficial for your heart health and ultimately can help you live longer.
"However, our latest statistics show that nearly half of people in the UK do no moderate exercise whatsoever - a rate higher than many European countries.
"Our message is that every 10 minutes counts and that making simple, more active changes to your daily routine can set you on a path to improved heart health."

India rape victim dies after 42 years in coma

A Mumbai nurse who was raped more than 40 years ago, and who had been in a coma ever since, has died, local news channel NDTV reported.
Aruna Shanbaug, 68, was raped in the KEM hospital where she worked and suffered from an irreversible brain damage following the attack in 1973.
No one was charged with her rape. The man who was accused of the assault was charged with robbery.
The country's Supreme Court in 2011 rejected a petition by author Pinki Virani to stop staff at the hospital where Shanbaug was cared for from force-feeding her. Virani also argued for legal euthanasia for Shanbaug.
Kavita Krishnan, a women's right activist said that the widespread attention generated by Shanbaug's case hasn't led to reduction in sexual violence against women in India.
"This case says a lot about the safety of women at the work place. There is a widespread rape culture which has only gotten worse. Women have become extremely vulnerable to violence. Much remains to be done to change this culture." Krishnan, who heads the All India Progressive Women Association, told Al Jazeera.
"I hope while we remember her we also have a serious discussion about the safety of women not just at work but at home and on the streets," she said.
There is been an outpouring of tributes on social media following the death of Shanbaug.

Prostate cancer drug 'extends lives'

Early treatment with a chemotherapy drug extends the lives of patients with advanced prostate cancer by nearly two years, a major study shows.
Docetaxol is normally given after hormone treatment has failed.
But results, to be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology, will show earlier treatment can extend life expectancy from 43 to 65 months.
Experts said the findings from a trial in Britain and Switzerland were "potentially game-changing".
More than 40,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and nearly 11,000 die in the UK each year.
During the trial, being run across Britain and Switzerland, 2,962 men took part in the trial and some were given six doses of docetaxol at the start of their treatment.
Overall, patients who received the drug lived 10 months longer, but for patients where the cancer had already spread beyond the pelvis, the increase in life expectancy was 22 months.

'Pleased'

Prof Nicholas James, one of the researchers at Warwick University, called for all patients with prostate cancer that had spread to be given docetaxol when they are diagnosed.
He said the NHS needed to act quickly: "To see a 22-month survival advantage off six lots of treatment given several years earlier is a very big benefit. We are very pleased by it."
Fellow researcher Prof Malcolm Mason, from Cardiff University, added: "In prostate cancer it has been used at a much more advanced stage of the illness, for some years - now we know that this chemotherapy should be added earlier, in fact as soon as hormone therapy starts."
It would be relatively cheap to do as docetaxol is out of patent.

'Alive'

John Angrave, 77, from Hinckley in Leicestershire, was told that he had three to five years to live.
That was seven years ago.
He said: "I am alive. I have a good quality of life and I am alive.
"I walk. I go fishing. I can spend time with my great-grandchildren."
The researchers say they need to monitor patients for longer to see if the drug significantly prolongs life if the cancer has not spread.
There were side effects from the treatment, but the doctors said they were "manageable".

'Game-changing'

Cancer Research UK said the results were "important" and "show that it should be given earlier in a man's treatment".
Dr Iain Frame, the director of research at Prostate Cancer UK, said: "The findings of this trial are potentially game-changing - we can't wait to see the full results.
"Chemotherapy is currently one of the last-resort treatments for advanced prostate cancer.
"If it is shown to have a much greater impact on survival when prescribed earlier and alongside hormone therapy, that's incredibly exciting, and we would want to see this brought in to the clinic so it can benefit men without delay."
The study is one part of a much the wider Stampede trial which is assessing the impact of using a range of drugs or radiotherapy in conjunction with conventional hormone therapy.

Honda and Daihatsu recall more cars over Takata airbags

Japanese car makers Honda and Daihatsu are recalling some five million cars globally to replace potentially deadly airbag inflators made by Takata.
The latest recalls come just a day after rivals Toyota and Nissan said they would be recalling 6.5 million vehicles over the same issue.
So far, the six deaths linked to Takata airbags have all been in Honda cars.
In April, Honda cut its profit growth forecast after missing the mark last year on recalls and other issues.
Honda said that the models affected included the Fit subcompact and would not affect its cars sold in the US, where most of the deaths occurred.
It plans to use replacement parts supplied by Sweden's Autolive, Japan's Daicel and Takata in the recalled cars.
Daihatsu, meanwhile, said it would recall the Mira minicar.

Air bag saga

Other than Honda, all other carmakers said the recalls were precautionary and no accidents or injuries had been reported.
But investigations did show that Takata airbag inflators were not properly sealed and could be damaged by moisture. It is alleged that the airbags can burst under pressure, spraying shrapnel inside the car.
The latest announcements bring the total number of cars recalled because of Takata's airbags to about 36 million since 2008.
The car equipment maker faces multiple class action lawsuits and criminal and regulatory investigations in North America.
Following the latest recall, Takata's shares were down 5.6% in Tokyo.

Toyota and Nissan recall 6.5 million cars over airbags

Japanese car giants Toyota and Nissan are recalling a total of 6.5 million cars globally to replace potentially faulty airbag inflators made by Takata.
Toyota said it was recalling just under five million cars, including the Corolla, Vitz and other models made between March 2003 and November 2007.
Nissan is recalling about 1.56 million cars over the same issue.
Both carmakers said the recall was for investigative purposes and no accidents or injuries have been reported.
Toyota, the world's biggest carmaker, said the recall affected 35 of its models made around the world and that it would include 1.36 million cars in Japan.
The move is the latest in the saga of potentially exploding airbags made by Japanese car parts maker Takata that has been linked to at least six deaths - all in Honda cars.

More recalls ahead

After the recalls by Toyota and Nissan were announced, Honda - Japan's number three automaker - said it was also preparing to announce more car recalls related to the air bags.
No details were given on the number of cars Honda would recall.
In March, Honda had said it was recalling another 100,000 vehicles in the US related to the airbags.
About 25 million vehicles with Takata airbags have been recalled worldwide by 10 different carmakers since 2008.

South African pro-pot activist lights joint during live news broadcast

A South African marijuana legalization activist became fed up with a debate he was having on broadcaster SABC and sparked a joint on live TV.
Andre du Plessis, a vocal proponent of marijuana legalization in South Africa, was participating in a live debate with David Bayever, deputy chair of the Central Drug Authority, when he became noticeably annoyed by Bayever's statement that "xenophobia" was delaying the agency's position paper on legalizing recreational use of cannabis.
Du Plessis, who was being filmed in a separate location from Bayever and the SABC anchor, then lit a marijuana cigarette and started smoking.
When prompted for closing comments, du Pessis blew a plume of smoke at the camera.
"I think that's all I've got to say," he said.
The campaigner, who is head of the Cannabis Working Group, later confirmed he was smoking cannabis, or "dagga," as it is sometimes called in South Africa.
"The reality is that people smoke it, and I did," he told eNCA. "This is the reality of cannabis while this man continues to blah blah blah."
SABC, which posted video of the incident to YouTube, said it does not support du Plessis' actions.
"The SABC Broadcaster and the SABC Newsroom does not condone the actions of our guest Andre Du Plessis," the company said in the video's YouTube description.

Oldest working U.S. nurse turns 90 with hospital surprise party

The oldest working nurse in the United States celebrated her 90th birthday with a surprise party during her shift at a Washington state hospital.
Florence "SeeSee" Rigney, who started her career as a registered nurse 69 years ago, was treated to a surprise party Thursday, the day before her 90th birthday, by coworkers at MultiCare Tacoma General Hospital.
The surprise, which was captured on video and posted to YouTube, featured Rigney being serenaded with a birthday song and presented with gifts including flowers, a tiara and a letter of congratulations from Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, who recognized her as the oldest working nurse in the country.
"You are all wonderful," Rigney said through tears of joy. "I know I'm a pain in the you-know-what!"
Rigney temporarily left the profession at the age of 67, but her retirement was short-lived.
"I stayed retired for about five months, then I came back, and here I am," she told KING-TV in a 2014 interview.
Sheri Morris, assistant nurse manager, said Rigney is a valuable asset to the hospital.
"She runs circles around all of us," Morris told Today.com. "She's a wealth of wisdom and knowledge, and we absolutely love her."

‘My wives know I’m a criminal’

RasheedA 27-year-old suspected kidnapper, Rasheed Adetunji, who was paraded alongside other suspects, has confessed that his two wives knew he was a criminal and not a kidnapper.
He also revealed that he used part of the ransom money collected from victims to get married to them.
According to the Osun State-born Adetunji, his love for women is responsible for his having two wives at his age and had hoped to marry more before he was arrested.
He told Vanguard that one of his wives had a premonition of his current travails and warned him to stay away from members of his gang.
He regretted that he would miss his wives and family who, he claimed, he was trying to make happy.
On how he joined the kidnapping gang, he said it was Niyi Omosola that introduced and placed him and other members of the gang on an oath administered by a native doctor, known as Baba.
The other suspects are Ifeanyi Chukwuleta, 25, from Oguta in Imo State, and Kolawale Alani, 26, from Ekiti State.
The suspects were arrested after the kidnap of a 62-year-old woman, Kudirat Adeboye, along Eleko-Epe Expressway by six armed men.
It was gathered that the gang contacted the victim’s family and demanded N50 million but eventually accepted N3 million after six days of keeping the victim.
The kidnappers directed the victim’s son to drop the money at a spot on Ijebu-Ode Road, where one of the kidnappers came out from the bush to collect the ransom.
Operatives of Special Anti-robbery Squad, SARS, who were deployed to the area pursued the kidnappers and one of them, Niyi Omosola, was caught.
He said it was Omosola that took operatives to a forest along Epe Road where the victim was rescued. Omosola later died from the gunshot injuries he sustained.

Ivorian child smuggled to Spain in suitcase

Spanish Police have found an eight-year-old Ivorian boy hidden in a suitcase that was smuggled across the border into territory in north Africa, officials have said.
A 19-year-old woman took the case through a pedestrian crossing from Morocco into the small Spanish-governed territory of Ceuta on Thursday, a spokesman for the Civil Guard police force said.
"When they put the suitcase through the scanner, the operator noticed something strange, which seemed to be a person inside the case," he told the AFP news agency.
"When it was opened they found a minor, in a terrible state."
The boy said he was eight years old and from Ivory Coast, according to the spokesman.
The Civil Guard arrested the woman, who was due to go before a judge.
They also arrested the boy's father when he tried to cross the border a few hours later. The father is Ivorian and lives in Spain's Canary Islands.
Thousands of migrants each year risk their lives trying to enter Ceuta and another Spanish territory bordering Morocco, Melilla, in search of a better life in Europe.
Many Africans try to scramble over the seven-metre (23-foot) fences that separate the Spanish cities from Morocco.
Others smuggle themselves over the border hidden in vehicles and cargoes or try to swim or sail from shores on the Moroccan side.
Earlier this week a 23-year-old Moroccan was found in a shipping container in the port of Melilla.
He was dehydrated after four days cooped up without food or water, since the container was left unattended over the May holiday weekend.

UK's David Cameron re-elected as three rivals resign

David Cameron has won an unexpected majority in the UK's parliamentary elections, overturning poll predictions and sweeping the Conservatives to power, as three of his election rivals quit following their disastrous turnout at the polls.
The Conservative Party managed to secure 326 seats after 643 constituencies were counted, to the Labour party's 230 seats, and eight for the Liberal Democrat party.
"This is clearly a very strong night for the Conservative Party," Cameron said.
Striking a conciliatory tone with his rivals, he promised to govern as the party of "one nation, one United Kingdom," after the election was brought to a much-quicker-than-expected conclusion.
"We can make Britain a place where a good life is in reach for everyone," he said.
Cameron, who will be the first Conservative prime minister to win a second term since Margaret Thatcher, also vowed to counter the rise of Scottish nationalism with more powers for Scotland and Wales.
Polls ahead of Election Day had shown Conservatives locked in a tight race with the opposition Labour Party, raising the possibility of days or weeks of negotiations to form a government.
However, Labour was routed in Scotland by energised Scottish nationalists who pulled off a landslide victory taking 56 out of 59 seats.
Ed Miliband resigned as the leader of Labour, saying the party needed to "rebuild after this defeat so we can have a government that stands up for working people again."
"It's time for someone else to take forward the leadership of this party, so I'm tendering my resignation," he added.
He said Harriet Harman, the party's deputy leader, would take over until a new leader is elected.
Cameron's coalition partner, Nick Clegg, was one of only a few members of the Liberal Democrat party to retain his seat, but he too resigned as party leader on Friday.
Clegg said he must take responsibility for the party's losses, which he described as much more crushing that he expected.
One of the big losers of the day was UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage, who resigned after losing his race.
His party ran third in opinion polls, but by early Friday had won only one seat because its support is spread out geographically.
Farage, who had earlier promised to resign if he lost, told activists "I'm a man of my word."
Farage, UKIP's only nationally known politician, had said before the election it would be "curtains" for him if he failed to win the seat of Thanet South on the coast of southeast England. He came second, beaten by a Conservative rival.
But he raised the prospect he would consider running again in the future.
Britain's economy - recovering after years of turmoil that followed the 2008 financial crisis - was at the core of many voters' concerns. The results suggest that many heeded Cameron's entreaties to back the Conservatives as the party of financial stability.
The pound surged as much as 2 percent after exit poll results were released, as investors took that as reassurance that the country will not see days or weeks of uncertainty over the formation of a new government.

Police uncover another ritualists’ den in Ogun, rescue woman

ABEOKUTA — Ogun State Police Command yesterday uncovered another suspected ritualists’ den in Unity and Peace Estate, along Itele-Lafenwa Road, Ota, Ado Odo-Ota Local Government Area.
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the latest discovery was made possible by the escape of a 28-year-old lady, who had been kept bound in an uncompleted building in the estate.
The lucky victim was said to have been told by her captors that they would come for her in the night, but she struggled to free herself and rolled towards the entrance of the building before she was noticed. Passers-by saw her and came to her rescue.
She did not disclose her identity before policemen from Itele Police Station arrived and cordoned off the area.
When policemen combed the surroundings of the uncompleted building, decomposing bodies of two female victims were found in the bush. Human bones also littered the place.
Adejobi said: “The command has taken over the building and our men would take some samples from the scene for forensic analysis in order to assist the command in its investigation.”
How I was taken — SURVIVOR
Narrating how she became a victim, the lady said she had met one of her captors two weeks ago, and they struck a relationship.
She said the man called about two days ago, saying he had secured a cement supply contract worth N1.5 million for her at a site in the estate.
However, on getting to the site, the ‘boyfriend’ who lured her to the building was joined by other members of the gang and they began to rough-handle her.
She said: “They attempted to rape me. But I was having my monthly flow.
“They then tied both my hands and legs, covered my face and mouth with cloth, and promised to come back at night to complete their assignment. It was a miracle that passers-by rescued me.”

Gov. Al-Makura promises automatic employment to any corps member who marries an indigene of the state

Gov. Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State on Tuesday, promised automatic employment to any newly deployed corps member who marries an indigene of the state. He made the pledge while addressing 2015 NYSC Batch ‘A’ corp members, during their swearing in- ceremony at Magaji Dan Yamusa permanent NYSC Orientation camp in Keffi Local Government Area of the state.
He said that inter-marriage by corps members would not only foster unity, also promote peaceful co-existence among the people of the state and others states of the federation. He congratulated the corps members for the successful completion of their academic programmes at their various institutions of learning.
“I urge you to use the lessons and experience you gained during this orientation course to develop yourselves, your host communities, the state and the Nigeria at large.
“You should see yourselves as agent of positive change in the society. “I want to advise you to discharge your duties without fear or favour, and relate freely with your host communities. “I promise automatic employment to any NYSC Batch ‘A’ corps member who marries an indigenes in order to promote peaceful co-existence among the people of the state and others states of the country.” Al-Makura said.
Al-Makura also assured the corps members of adequate security throughout their service year in the state. He urged them to be security conscious, and to report any security breach to the appropriate authorities for necessary action. He urged them to be agents of national unity, and to shun all forms of violence capable of threatening the existing peace of the state and the country at large. The governor reinstated the state government’s determination to continue to support the scheme, in order to better the welfare of the corps members. Earlier Mrs. Christy Uba, the Nasarawa state NYSC director, commended Gov.Al-Makura for his support to the scheme in the state. She said since the beginning of this orientation course, the corps members had exhibited good conduct. A total of 1931 corp members have so far registered at the orientation camp.

Jackie Chan 'supports death penalty' for drug offences

Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan has said he supports the use of the death penalty for some drug offenders.
Chan, whose son was jailed for drugs offences, said that with drugs "you're hurting thousands of young children".
Jaycee Chan spent six months in prison in China after police found marijuana in his home.
Jackie Chan is Singapore's first celebrity anti-drug ambassador. He was named official Narcotics Control Ambassador by Chinese police in 2009.
Both Singapore and China have enforced capital punishment for drug trafficking.
In an interview with journalists conducted in both English and Mandarin, he said drugs were not only hurting young people, they were hurting his family.
"On some issues, I do support the death penalty," he said.
"When you're hurting thousands and thousands of young children, I think these kind of people are useless.
"You should get the right punishment."
He added: "[Young people say] 'it's okay, it's just like a cigarette'. I say 'it's not okay, not in my family'."
Jaycee, 32, was imprisoned for not just using drugs, but for the additional and more serious crime of "providing a shelter for others to abuse drugs", Beijing police said at the time.
When asked about Jaycee's time in prison, Chan said he felt "ashamed" and "shocked" and that he was now more focused on his son.
"I'm more concentrating on him now, used to be just, 'you are a grown man.' But now I find out, he's still a boy," Chan said.

Party leaders have been casting their votes in the United Kingdom general election.
Polls opened at 07:00 BST at around 50,000 polling stations across the UK, which will remain open until 22:00.
A total of 650 Westminster MPs will be elected, with about 50 million people registered to vote.
As well as the general election, there are more than 9,000 council seats being contested across 279 English local authorities.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage, Labour leader Ed Miliband, Greens leader Natalie Bennett, SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, Conservative leader David Cameron, Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg and Plaid Cymru's Leanne Wood have all cast their votes.

Results declared

The weather has been dry and mild across much of the UK, with isolated showers in some parts of the north of England.
The local votes taking place mean that nearly every voter in England - excluding London where there are no local elections - will be given at least two ballot papers when they enter polling stations.
Some votes had been cast before Thursday through postal voting, which accounted for 15% of the total electorate at the 2010 general election, when the overall turnout was 65%.
For the first time, people have been able to register to vote online.
Most polling stations are in schools, community centres and parish halls, but pubs, a launderette and a school bus are also being used.
A handful of seats are expected to be declared by midnight, with the final results expected on Friday afternoon.

Coverage

Polls close at 22:00 BST, but officials say anyone in a polling station queue at this time should be able to cast their vote.
The BBC's main election programme, fronted by David Dimbleby, starts at 21:55 BST, with live coverage from 220 counts.
Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will have their own overnight programmes but will join Huw Edwards from 07:00 BST on 8 May.
On the radio, a joint overnight broadcast by BBC Radio 4 and 5 live will be hosted by Jim Naughtie and Carolyn Quinn.
Full coverage of the results as they come in will be on the BBC politics online live page and front page scorecard, with all the big breaking stories from around the country and analysis by correspondents.

Nebraska woman suing all homosexuals on behalf of 'God'

A Nebraska woman filed a seven-page handwritten court brief detailing her lawsuit against all homosexuals on behalf of "God" and "his son, Jesus Christ."
Sylvia Driskell, 66, of Auburn, filed a federal lawsuit Friday in Omaha asking for a federal judge to rule on whether or not homosexuality is a sin.
Driskell's seven-page court brief, which is entirely handwritten, describes the woman as an "ambassador for plaintiffs God, and his son, Jesus Christ."
The defendants listed in the lawsuit are "homosexuals," noting the group uses the "alis [alias], gay."
The brief cites several Bible verses and argues "that homosexuality is a sin and that they the homosexuals know it is a sin to live a life of homosexuality. Why else would they have been hiding in the closet."
Driskell cited the Biblical destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as evidence of God's distaste for "immoral behavior."
"I never thought that I would see a day in which our great nation or our own great state of Nebraska would become so compliant to the complicity of some peoples lewd behavior," Diskell wrote. "Why are judges passing laws, so sinners can break religious and moral laws. Will all the judges of this nation, judge God to be a lier [liar]."
Driskell is representing herself in the lawsuit.

California trio accused of running rogue police force

Officials say David Henry (left), Tonette Hayes and Brandon Kiel are members of Masonic Fraternal Police Department
Three people have been charged in California with impersonating law enforcement officers after claiming to operate a police department with jurisdiction in 33 states.
They said they belonged to a group called the Masonic Fraternal Police Department, which they claimed dated back to the Knights Templar.
One of the trio is a junior aide to California's attorney general.
Uniforms, weapons and vehicles were found in premises linked to the group.
Brandon Kiel - an aide to state Attorney General Kamala Harris - David Henry and Tonette Hayes were arrested on 30 April and released later that day.
"When asked what is the difference between the Masonic Fraternal Police Department and other Police Departments the answer is simple for us. We were here first!" the group's website page reads. "We are born into this Organization, our bloodlines go deeper than an application."

Knights Templar claims

According their website, the Masonic Fraternal Police Department was created by the Knights Templar in 1100 BC - although the crusader order was set up more than 2,000 years later.
Authorities began investigating the group after police chiefs in southern California received a letter in late January that announced Mr Kiel would be serving as "chief deputy director" of the group.
The letter claimed there were 5,686 lodges and that the department "will be able to acquire intel that is not accessible to non-fraternal entities".
Los Angeles County sheriff's spokeswoman Nicole Nishida told the Associated Press news agency that there were no indications that the group had carried out any law enforcement activities.

Mourinho to extend Chelsea deal

Jose Mourinho
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has verbally agreed a two-year extension to his current contract, according to reports in the British media on Wednesday.
Mourinho, 52, returned to Chelsea in 2013 on a four-year contract and this season has led the club to the Premier League title -- their first since 2010 -- and the League Cup.
During his first spell at Stamford Bridge, between 2004 and 2007, he won two league titles, in 2005 and 2006, as well as two League Cups and one FA Cup.
Mourinho is already the best-paid manager in England, with a reported annual salary of £8.4 million ($12.75 million, 11.4 million euros), and British tabloid The Sun reported that his new deal would be worth around £10.5 million per year.
Speaking after Chelsea secured the league title with a 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday, Mourinho reiterated that he will stay at the club as long as owner Roman Abramovich wants him to remain.
"As I was saying since the beginning of the season, I stay here until Mr Abramovich wants me to stay," said the Portuguese. "The day he tells me to go, I go."
