"I WON'T RESIGN" - CARDINAL SEAN BRADY
Cardinal Sean Brady should step down.
That's the verdict of one woman who was abused as a child by Fr Brendan Smyth .
It emerged at the weekend that in 1975, Cardinal Sean Brady, then a priest, interviewed two of Smyth's victims who were asked to take an oath of secrecy.
It was another 20 years before Brendan Smyth pleaded guilty to 74 charges of abusing children between 1958 and 1993.
Cardinal Brady is rejecting calls for his resignation, saying things were differnet back in the 1970s, ad he didn't have any decision making power in the 1975 inquiry.
But Helen McGonagle, who abused by Brendan Smyth in Rhode Island in the US when she was a child - said the Cardinal has to go.
UGG BOOTS ARE BAD FOR YOUR FEET
Experts say Ugg Boots - worn by women - are posing a serious health risk.
Chiropodists believe the shoe has lead to a number of women suffering from toe deformities
According to Dr. Ian Drysdale, the head of the British College of Osteopathic Medicine, these shoes are causing women to break their feet.
This is because the feet are sliding around inside the boot - with each step the force falls towards the inside of the foot and the feet splay.
This flattens the arch and makes it drop.
The result can be significant problems with the foot, the ankle and ultimately the hip.

BEWARE OF CAR SCAM
If you're planning on buying a car in the North or in the UK - then listen up.
Hundreds of people are falling victim to a new car cloning scam which is sweeping the UK.
Fraudsters are stealing identities of cars and selling stolen and damaged cars under false registration documents and number plates.
Cloning can also occur on cars which have been involved in serious car accidents and may no longer be safe to drive.
The threat of the car-clone scam has increased significantly since the theft in 2006 of blank registration documents from the UK Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in 2006. This allows fraudsters to copy the genuine vehicle’s log book which makes the cloning more difficult to detect.
The DVLA has published on its website a list of serial numbers for the blank log books which it believes have gone missing and consumers should check that the serial number on the logbook of the car they are considering buying does not fall within these ranges.
