Having no legs won't stop me! Girl who battled meningitis makes the school football team

By LUCY LAING



Striker: Ellie became the youngest person in the world to be fitted with some special carbon fibre sports legs



This is brave little Ellie Challis playing football.

Little Ellie touched the hearts of the world when she took her first ever steps on prosthetic legs after tragically losing all her limbs to meningitis in July 2005.

She had defied all the odds to fight for her life in hospital after contracting the killer bug, but she had to have all her limbs amputated eight weeks later.

She has spent the last four years walking on prosthetic limbs - and now amazingly she plays football for her school team.



Fighter: Sitting on father Paul's knee, brave Ellie Challis has defied odds to play for her school football team



Her mother Lisa, 38, said: 'It is fantastic to see Ellie playing football. When she lost her legs to meningitis we never imagined that one day she would be playing football for her school team.

'All the other children are able bodied, but she keeps up with all the other team members.



'To think that she has prosthetic legs yet plays football for her school is just remarkable. Its something that we never thought we would ever see.

'She is just the most gutsy and remarkable child. She has no problems on the football field at all. She just gets on with it and she loves playing.

'Her favourite team is Arsenal and she watches all their matches with her dad. She's football mad.'

Ellie was struck down with the near fatal bug just a month after her parents wedding day.

Lisa, who lives in Essex, with husband Paul, 48, said: 'She woke up one morning and was sick. She had a fever too and her limbs were freezing.



No stopping her: Ellie (left) as a baby after losing her limbs to meningitis. Now she plays once a week for her school's football team



'I took her to hospital but blood tests came back clear and we were sent home.'

But when Lisa arrived home, she noticed three red spots on Ellie's back.

Just four hours later she was covered in deep purple marks.

She said: 'I knew it was meningitis straight away and we rushed her back to hospital. She was so brave as the doctors put tubes into her and her body swelled up to three times its size.'

Ellie deteriorated fast. Within minutes she was black and blue. Then just a few hours later her heart stopped and doctors called her parents in to say goodbye.

Lisa, who also has two other children Tai'la, twelve, and Connor, 13, said: 'Paul and I just stood at the end of her bed shouting at her to survive.

'We thought we were going to lose her, but amazingly she pulled through and her heart started again.'

But over the next four days, slowly Ellie's legs and arms started to turn black. The couple were told that her arms and legs would have to be amputated.

Lisa, who works as a carer for adults with learning difficulties, said: 'We were devastated. All I could think about was how she was ever going to live a normal life.

What secrets will he reveal? Gaddafi's playboy son Saif cowers after capture by rebels and will be quizzed about Blair, Mandelson and Prince Andrew fr

By MARTIN DELGADO



Hunted down: Saif al-Islam Gaddafi looks dejected and withdrawn following his capture



Looking haggard and fearful, Saif Al Islam Gaddafi cowers in terror after his capture by Libyan fighters yesterday.

His old swagger gone, the British-educated son of Colonel Gaddafi was clearly terrified that he might encounter the same fate as his father, who was killed a month ago.

Saif could yet face the death penalty for his crimes, but Libyan officials promised he would, at least, receive a fair trial. That trial could prove highly embarrassing for influential British figures – including Prince Andrew and Tony Blair – if Saif reveals details of the close links he enjoyed with them.



Arrested: Saif al-Islam pictured in a prison cell after his detention in the southern desert of Libya



The 39-year-old former playboy and womaniser was captured trying to flee across the border into Niger. A mob of angry protesters tried to storm the plane but were beaten back by soldiers under orders to keep their prisoner alive so he could face justice.

Only three weeks ago Saif had vowed to avenge his father's death, declaring defiantly: 'I am alive and free and willing to fight to the end.'





Airborne: Saif Gaddafi (second right) on the plane which took him to Zintan, following his capture, earlier this morning



But last night he was facing the likelihood of trial in his own country – or extradition to the International Criminal Court in The Hague on charges of crimes against humanity.

Thousands of Libyans celebrated in the streets after hearing that the fugitive, who remained loyal to his father's murderous regime to the end, had been captured without a struggle.

The dictator's heir was intercepted near the oil town of Obari as he tried to reach the frontier in a 4x4 vehicle, accompanied by three bodyguards.

Desert fighters acting on a tip-off fired into the air and ground to bring the car to a halt.

As they checked the identity of those inside, Saif told them his name was Abdelsalam – which means 'servant of peace' – but he was immediately recognised and taken away by the fighters.

The land where pizza is one of your five-a-day… because it is covered in tomato paste

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER



Guideline reversal: A spending bill released late Monday reverses previous school lunch standards proposed by the Agriculture Department limiting the use of potatoes and allowing tomato paste on pizzas to be counted as a vegetable



It has given us the iced doughnut, the burger and the fattest people on Earth.

But now America is outdoing even itself when it comes to unhealthy food, by trying to claim pizza is a vegetable.

A school lunches Bill going before Congress aims to reclassify the junk food due to the tomato paste on the dough.



Pro veggies: First Lady Michelle Obama has made healthy eating a top issue for her, promoting a balanced meal with plenty of vegetables to young children which some feel may slouch with Congress' new guidelines



Despite lacking significant nutritional content, this thin coating would be enough for pizza to go towards a daily count of fruit and vegetables.

The move has been derided as a cost-cutting drive so the U.S. government will not have to spend so much on fresh food for school lunches. Subsidised school meals must include a certain amount of vegetables.



Fighting for fries: The Senate voted last month to block limiting potato in their version of healthy school lunches



A congressional committee is pushing for the move and to keep french fries on school lunch lines in a fightback against an Obama administration proposal to make school lunches healthier.

The final version of a spending bill released late Monday would unravel school lunch standards the Agriculture Department proposed earlier this year which limits the use of potatoes and delays limits on sodium and a requirement to boost whole grains.

The bill also would allow tomato paste on pizzas to be counted as a vegetable.



Garden education: Mrs Obama, who has invited local school children to help with the White House's garden, has pushed for healthier school lunches while some school districts have said the USDA requirements have gone too far and cost too much



Food companies that produce frozen pizzas for schools, the salt industry and potato growers requested the changes, and some conservatives in Congress say the federal government shouldn't be telling children what to eat.

Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee said the changes would 'prevent overly burdensome and costly regulations and to provide greater flexibility for local school districts to improve the nutritional quality of meals.'



Issue of National Security: Indiana Senator Richard Lugar called on Congress to pass Mission: Readiness, which says poor nutrition in school lunches is a national security issue because obesity is the leading medical disqualifier for military service



School districts had said some of the USDA requirements went too far and cost too much when budgets are extremely tight.

Schools have long taken broad instructions from the government on what they can serve in federally subsidized meals that are served free or at reduced price to low-income children.

But some schools have balked at government attempts to tell them exactly what foods they can't serve.



The school lunch provisions are part of a final House-Senate compromise on a $182 billion measure would fund the day-to-day operations of the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Justice, Transportation and Housing and Urban Development.

Both the House and the Senate are expected to vote on the bill this week and send it to President Barack Obama.

Pickles launches the 'curry college': He wants non Asian Brits to learn how to make popular food

By STEVE DOUGHTY



Nice and spicy: The curry training scheme will teach people from all backgrounds how to cook in the style of the nation's favourite cuisine



Eric Pickles is to sponsor a 'curry college' as part of a new drive to train British workers for the jobs market.

The Communities Secretary is backing the school for chefs as part of the Government's plans to restrict immigration while getting British people off benefits and into work.

The curry training scheme will teach the skills of preparing chicken bhuna and tandoori prawn to people from all backgrounds looking to learn a trade.



Indian restaurant operators have been among business leaders with the deepest concerns over tightened immigration controls.

They say their £3.2 billion a year industry relies on chefs from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.

A Whitehall paper leaked to the Guardian newspaper said: 'The Indian restaurant sector has already approached the Government to explore how they can be supported to recruit and train British workers.



'Changes must come from the sector but the Government will work with them to identify barriers and short-term support'.

Immigration rules are being drawn up on the understanding that 'we do not need to attract people to do jobs that could be carried out by British citizens, given the right training and support'.

The scheme is in line with Conservative policy to make deep cuts in immigration numbers on the basis 'that we do not need to attract people to do jobs that could be carried out by British citizens, given the right training and support'.

Is this an alien skull? Mystery of giant-headed mummy found in Peru

By PAUL MILLIGAN



Spanish and Russian scientists who have examined the remains claim they are actually those of an alien



A mummified elongated skull found in Peru could finally prove the existence of aliens.

The strangely shaped head - almost as big as its 50cm (20in) body - has baffled anthropologists.

It was one of two sets of remains found in the city of Andahuaylillas in the southern province of Quispicanchi.



The unidentified creature has a strangely shaped skull nearly as large as its 20-inch-tall body



The skeletal sets were discovered by Renato Davila Riquelme, who works for the Privado Ritos Andinos museum in Cusco in south-eastern Peru.

He said that that the eye cavities are far larger than normally seen in humans.

There is a soft spot in the skull - called an open fontanelle - which is a characteristic of children in their first year of life, yet the skull also has two large molars, only found in much older humans.



Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull featured a conical alien skull similar to the one found in Peru



Davila Riquelme said three anthropologists, from Spain and Russia, arrived at the museum last week to investigate the findings and agreed it was 'not a human being' and would conduct further studies.

He added: 'Although the assessment was superficial, it is obvious that its features do not correspond to any ethnic group in the world.'

The remains of an eyeball in the right socket will help determine its genetic DNA - and clear up the controversy if it is human or not.



The second mummy is incomplete and is only 30cm (12in).

It lacks a face and seems to be wrapped in a layer as a placenta, fetal position.

The remains bear a striking resemblance to the triangular crystal skull in the 2008 Indiana Jones film Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - which turned out to be of alien origin and have supernatural powers.
