Ministers held crisis talks last night to avert a rebellion over David Cameron’s planning ‘free-for-all’ as it emerged it could lead to 40,000 unsightly extensions being thrown up each year. Potential Tory and Lib Dem rebels were invited to a ‘drop-in session’ with planning minister Nick Boles as it emerged that at least 20 MPs are planning to oppose the government in a crucial vote today. Zac Goldsmith, the environmentalist Conservative MP, today tore into the proposals as 'bad, clumsy politics' which will prove deeply unpopular without any evidence that it will solve any problems. Anti plan: Zac Goldsmith, Conservative MP, will vote against the law which will double the length of extensions that people can build in their gardens without planning permission Coalition backbenchers are furious at the controversial laws which will double the length of extensions that people can build in their gardens without planning permission. They plan to vote for an amendment allowing loc

Terror suspect and Broadmoor patient Haroon Aswat, the trusted lieutenant of radical cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri, has won his legal battle to avoid being kicked out of Britain. The extremist's proposed extradition to the United States would breach his human rights, the European Court of Human Rights ruled today. Aswat, who claims to be a schizophrenic, is wanted by the U.S. authorities for plotting to set up a jihadi training camp in Bly, Oregon. Ruling: Haroon Aswat (right), pictured with radical cleric Abu Hamza al Masri, has been told today he will not be extradited from Britain to the United States He had claimed that the jail term he might face in America – up to 50 years without parole – breached Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which bans ‘inhuman or degrading treatment’. Today a Strasbourg court said they agreed with him because he has mental health problems. Aswat had faced being sent to the Colorado Supermax prison, which is surrounded by desert, a

At least 30 members of an Afghan wedding party were killed and many more wounded when a U.S. plane bombed a village in the central province of Uruzgan today, Afghan officials and residents said. The bombing happened today in a village in the rugged, mountainous region 175 km (105 miles) northeast of the southern city of Kandahar, residents said. They told the local Pashtu service of the BBC at least 120 people had been either killed or wounded. A Defence Ministry official said celebrants were firing into the air, as is traditional in Pashtun weddings. "There was no-one to help last night," resident Abdul Saboor told the BBC. "We managed to transfer some of the wounded to Kandahar in the morning. Some of the foreigners' choppers also came to help. "There are no Taliban or al Qaeda or Arabs here. These people were all civilians, women and children." Defence Ministry offical Dr Gulbuddin told Reuters: "More than 30 people were killed. It was a wedd

Rachael Ray show sued , rachael ray's daytime talk show is being sued by former guest, Christina Pagliarolo, who says she suffered emotional abuse during a segment on the show, TMZ reported Wednesday. The 260-lb teen agreed to appear in the hopes of losing weight, but the lawsuit contends that her trainer shouted at her during a hike and forced her to fall off a StairMaster. Pagliarolo says she suffered serious injuries as a result. "We haven't received this purported lawsuit but if it does materialize we will defend ourselves against it vigorously and fully expect to prevail," a show rep told TMZ. "Rachael Ray" has faced legal problems before.

The explosions at Boston Marathon prompted people in their droves to step forward and offer help to the wounded and shocked yesterday. As the blasts of yesterday's explosions echoed through the city, onlookers were astonished by the number of people who ran towards, rather than away from, the scene of the attacks, looking to help in whatever way they could. The city of Boston showed an astonishing 9/11 spirit of its own as men and women tore the shirts off their backs to use as tourniquets on injured people they had never met.

When her daughter started coughing while she shopped in Boots, Kiya Pask thought little of it, taking baby Amelia out of her pram and comforting her until she calmed down. Little did she know that an over-zealous pharmacist was taking note and that the episode would lead to social services searching her home and investigating her ability to look after her child. Although she has now been cleared of any wrongdoing, Miss Pask is furious at the way she was treated, saying it is unacceptable that Boots passed on her details to authorities. Miss Pask, 20, had taken 15-month-old Amelia to the store in Skegness, Lincolnshire, on March 4 to buy over-the-counter antihistamines to help control a bronchial virus, which had hospitalised the child the day before. Anger: Kiya Pask, 20, outside the Boots store in Skegness where her daughter Amelia had the coughing fit But when Amelia swallowed the medicine, she started coughing and Miss Pask explained to pharmacy staff that her daughter often stru

Jada Pinkett Smith, has found herself addressing open-marriage rumors again. The actress, 41, doesn't like to bring attention to her relationship with husband Will Smith, 44, but on Sunday, she posted a long message on her Facebook page in response to reports after she gave an interview to HuffPost Live days ago. Some seemed to take her words as describing an open marriage. She starts off pointing out that there are more important topics to discuss: Let me first say this, there are far more important things to talk about in regards to what is happening in the world than whether I have an open marriage or not.

She continues: The statement I made in regard to "Will can do whatever he wants" has illuminated the need to discuss the relationship between trust and love and how they co-exist. And then she poses questions revo
