summary:

Kelly Sotherton believes Jessica Ennis will break the British heptathlon record in Gotzis, Austria this weekend.

Denise Lewis set the British standard of 6,831 points over a decade ago but Sotherton believes world champion Ennis is on course to smash that mark.


Ennis, who took gold at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin with a personal best of 6,731, has been in scintillating form as she continues her preparations for the European Championships in Barcelona in July.

Most recently she displayed her sprinting prowess when pipping fellow Briton and 400m Olympic champion Christine Ohuruogu in the 150m at the Manchester Great City Games on 19 May.

Ennis's main competition at the Gotzis multi-events meeting, which is part of the IAAF World Combined Events Challenge, is likely to come from the Ukraine's reigning Olympic champion Nataliya Dobrynska and World Indoor pentathlon champion Tatyana Chernova of Russia

New summary:

People in the UK have a higher risk of early death than those in many other wealthy countries, a study shows.

While deaths before the age of 60 in the UK have nearly halved in the past 40 years, the rate for women remains similar to Slovenia's and Albania's.

Photo description:
Researchers looked at data, including censuses, death registrations and surveys, to compile the estimated number of early deaths in 187 countries in 1970, 1990 and 2010.
During the period the overall risk fell by 34% in women and 19% in men, reflecting the progress in medicine and rising level of affluence.

South Asia saw the most rapid decline for women and Australasia for men.

Sub-Saharan Africa currently has some of the highest rates with half of people dying early, compared to one-in-20 in some developed countries.

Some parts of the continent even saw rates get worse, reflecting the spread of HIV in recent years, the report said.

Some fashion designers choose to have their collections shown in showrooms or other off-site venues during the week.

- When?
Twice a year. The Fashion Week fall shows are held the preceding winter (February). The spring shows are held the preceding late summer (September).

- Who?
Fashion shows are attended by journalists, editors, buyers, celebrities and social types. The Fashion Week shows are invitation-only and each fashion designer is responsible for the guest list. Journalists must seek accreditation prior to the event

- Why?
