Mother charged with murder after walking into hospital carrying body of disabled daughter

A mother was charged with murder yesterday after walking into a hospital with the body of her disabled four-year-old daughter.Joanne Hill, 31, had driven her daughter Naomi, who suffered from cerebral palsy, to hospital in the back of her car.Mrs Hill arrived at the accident and emergency department in the early hours of Tuesday morning carrying the girl.Eyewitnesses said the child was already dead and the distraught mother was in a confused state.Staff at the Countess of Chester Hospital tried to revive Naomi but she was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.Police launched an investigation into the death and arrested Mrs Hill. She appeared before magistrates in Chester yesterday charged with murdering Naomi.Last night the curtains were closed at her semi-detached house in Connah's Quay, North Wales.She is estranged from her husband, Simon Hill. The couple married in 2003 shortly before the birth of their daughter.

The family were said to be "devastated" by the death and were too upset to comment last night.
But friends described Mrs Hill as a dedicated mother who doted on her daughter.One said: "She was absolutely committed to that little girl and was a lovely person. We had no problems with her at all and always found her bright, helpful and friendly."A neighbour said: "Naomi was a delightful girl and we just can't believe she has gone. It is totally devastating."A spokesman for Cheshire Police said: "There is an on-going police investigation into the death of the four-year-old girl from the Connah's Quay area. As part of that, 31-yearold Joanne Hill, also of Connah's Quay, has been charged with murder."Yesterday, staff and pupils at Golftyn Primary School in Connah's Quay, where Naomi was in a reception class, were said to be "dazed" by news of her death.Headmaster Paul Schleising said: "Everyone in the school is absolutely devastated."She was a lovely little girl who had a special gift of lighting up our day. She had the gift of bringing the best out in people.

"Our thoughts are with Naomi's family right now."Mr Schleising sent a letter addressed to parents on Tuesday informing them a pupil had died.It read: "It is with great sadness that I have to inform you of the sad loss of one of our children. Naomi Hill, of Mrs Floyd's class, passed away earlier today."Our sincere condolences go to Naomi's family at this dreadful time. The children have been given the sad news by their teachers earlier today."A post-mortem examination was carried out yesterday at Liverpool's Alder Hey hospital to establish the cause of death. The results have not yet been disclosed.Mrs Hill was remanded in custody until December 10 when she will again appear before magistrates.

Venus 'was once Earth's twin and could have supported life'

Venus may once have been a pleasant place to live, scientists said today.Data from an orbiting European space craft show that the planet is even more like a wayward twin of Earth than was previously realised.Venus is the Earth's closest planetary neighbour. The two worlds are about the same size and occupy similar orbits, although Venus is slightly closer to the Sun.

Billions of years ago, Venus would have had conditions very similar to those on Earth and may even have been habitable, scientists now believe.But a runaway carbon dioxide greenhouse effect, atmospheric erosion by solar radiation, and a slower rotation rate sent Venus down a very different development path.Today the planet is stripped of water with a surface temperature hot enough to melt lead, and ravaged by hurricane-force winds and lightning storms.

The findings from the European Space Agency's Venus Express probe, which has been studying the planet for a year, offer a sobering view of how Earth might evolve if there were catastrophic changes to its climate.Professor Fred Taylor, from Oxford University's Department of Physics, one of the Venus Express mission leaders, said:"It is now becoming clear why the climate on Venus is so different from the Earth, when the planets themselves are otherwise quite similar."These differences are not just down to Venus being closer to the sun, we now know that the lack of a protective magnetic field and the differing planetary rotation rates also play a role in ensuring that many of the atmospheric processes we observe on Earth occur at a much faster rate on Venus."Our new data make it possible to construct a scenario in which Venus started out like the Earth - possibly including a habitable environment, billions of years ago - and then evolved to the state we see now."

Scientists used an infrared imaging spectrometer on Venus Express called VIRTIS to take 3D "soundings" of the planet's atmosphere.The measurements showed a turbulent region near the equator with much smoother air flows at higher latitudes.Both poles were marked by swirling vortices several thousand kilometres across and unusual "double eye" cloud formations. These features were similar to winter atmospheric circulation on Earth.The vortex-like structures extended down to where clouds began to form 50-55 kilometres above the surface of the planet.Nine papers from the first year of Venus Express observations appear today in a special edition of the journal Nature.Key findings help to explain how Venus lost its water through the action of atmospheric molecules being torn apart by ultraviolet radiation and blown into space.A water molecule is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. The new data show for the first time that large amounts of oxygen have been stripped from the Venusian atmosphere along with lighter atoms such as helium and hydrogen."In fact oxygen is lost at about half the rate for hydrogen, consistent with the source being water," said Prof Taylor."This happens at a faster rate on Venus than on the Earth, not just because Venus is closer to the Sun, but also because it lacks the magnetic field that protects the Earth from the solar wind and rotates more slowly than the Earth."These loss processes must have stripped away large amounts of water from Venus during the first billion years or so after the formation of the Solar System."Scientists have also found the first reliable evidence of lightning on Venus.Lightning strikes appear to be more common on Venus than they are on Earth.

Judge allows Britney to spend Christmas with sons while fresh reports claim she's pregnant again

Troubled pop star Britney Spears will be allowed to spend Christmas with her two sons, according to US reports.While ex husband Kevin Federline continues to maintain full custody, a judge granted the Toxic singer access to Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1, for the holiday.The decision comes as fresh reports claim Britney is pregnant with her third child.

Britney's on-off love interest music producer J.R Rotem allegedly confirmed the news, telling a reporter from American magazine InTouch: "It's true."However, Britney appears to be struggling with parenthood enough as it is - she currently has three weekly visits with her sons, including one overnight stay, all supervised by a court-appointed parenting monitor.Spending Christmas with her boys is minor victory for Britney, who has struggled to prove to the court that she is a responsible mother after regularly failing to turn up for mandatory drug tests.

Pregnant again? Reports claim Britney is expecting another child

Meanwhile the 25-year-old, who received a disastrous response to her Gimme More clip, has begun work on a new video for her latest single, Piece Of Me.A team of Britney lookalikes converged on a Hollywood set for the shoot, wearing matching blonde wigs, dark sunglasses and black berets.Later, the woman herself emerged looking slightly less glamorous in a pair of pyjama pants and an oversized zip up jacket.

But once they get in she takes off her disguise, and ends up being followed by the paparazzi anyway."Kevin, meanwhile, has been named on Details magazine's "Power 50 list" of influential people under the age of 45.Wig out: Britney doubles left the Hollywood set after shooting the film clip The former back-up dancer landed in seventh place and is described by the publication as a "good father".Kevin told Details: "To be a father is everything. It shows me how little I am.""My TVs are pretty much G-rated right now. Anything from SpongeBob to Finding Nemo, and you know, I'm still trying to decide which one of those I like more."He also plans to continue to pursue a career in acting, saying: "At some point I'd actually like to play somebody other than a bad guy or an ass."
