When the final FIFA FIFPro World XI is announced at the Ballon d'Or award ceremony at the Kongresshaus in Zurich on January 12 , it could end up reading a lot like one of Carlo Ancelotti 's team-sheets . Real Madrid have one goalkeeper , five defenders , three midfielders and three strikers in the 55-player shortlist . Coach Ancelotti could also pick up the manger 's gong and Cristiano Ronaldo , with a record breaking 17 goals in last season 's Champions League campaign , is favourite to win the main prize -- the Ballon d'Or . Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo is favourite to retain his Ballon d'Or crown in Zurich next month . Carlo Ancelotti could claim FIFA 's coach of the year award after leading Real to Champions League glory . Manuel Neuer , Dani Carvajal , Diego Godin , Sergio Ramos , Philipp Lahm ; James Rodriguez , Toni Kroos , Angel di Maria ; Gareth Bale , Cristiano Ronaldo , Lionel Messi . * Real Madrid players in bold . The current European champions are on a run of 17 straight wins that should extend to 20 with home games against Celta Vigo , Ludogorets and Almeria to come before they travel to Morocco where they will play the Club World Cup . By the time the awards ceremony comes around they could be sat on top of the world , as well as favourites to become the first side ever to retain the Champions League . The manner in which they have won their last five Champions League games has seen to that . Their La Liga form -- brushing aside Barcelona when the two teams in met in October - has them on top and expected to take that crown , too . When FIFA finally announce their team of teams Madrid will have to cede some territory to other clubs . After a poor World Cup , Iker Casillas maybe be back to his best in La Liga but it will surely be too late to prevent Manuel Neuer from being voted best goalkeeper . Atletico Madrid 's Diego Godin should be picked in the defence and that will mean that Sergio Ramos and Pepe -- both worthy of spots in the XI -- will have to contest the other centre-back position . As one of the Ballon d'Or finalists Lionel Messi will make the team so Real Madrid 's BBC forward line of Gareth Bale , Karim Benzema and Ronaldo will not be able to make a clean sweep of the front three . Welshman Gareth Bale has been nominated for FIFA 's World XI after a fine first season in Madrid . Summer signing James Rodriguez , pictured scoring against Cornella , is one FIFA 's nominated midfielders . Ballon d'Or : Cristiano Ronaldo . Best goalkeeper : Iker Casillas . Best defenders : Dani Carvajal , Sergio Ramos , Pepe , Marcelo , Raphael Varane . Best midfielders : Toni Kroos , James Rodriguez , Luka Modric . Best forwards : Cristiano Ronaldo , Gareth Bale , Karim Benzema . The midfield could well be made up of current Real stars and players who were integral to Madrid 's success last season - Luka Modric , James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos are in competition with Angel di Maria and Xabi Alonso . Whatever shape the final team takes it could comfortably have five Madrid players in it , plus those sold in the summer . And the powers that be at the Bernabeu wo n't even mind if players let go in August make the cut . Such has been the success of new faces Kroos and Rodriguez that the sales of Alonso and Di Maria , that stung so much at the start of the season , now no longer trouble supporters . Rodriguez already has nine goals -- just two short of Di Maria 's total of 11 for the last campaign . It now looks a masterstroke especially as the Colombia star is on # 1.5million-a-year less than the Argentine would have cost under the terms of the new deal he felt -- with some justification after his brilliant season -- that he deserved . Scooping the individual prizes in Zurich in January will be no guarantee that come the end of the season Real will have another cupboard full of trophies but there does seem to be a drive about the squad that is missing both from Barcelona and some of the teams they are likely to come up against in the Champions League knockout stages . A clean sweep in the FIFA FIFPro team is unlikely but they look on course to go on dominating football for some time . VIDEO Real Madrid in cruise control .

Real Madrid have 12 players nominated for FIFA 's World XI . Cristiano Ronaldo is favourite to retain his Ballon d'Or title . Los Blancos are top of La Liga and flying in the Champions League . Carlo Ancelotti could also win FIFA 's coach of the year award .

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea is set to hand manager Louis van Gaal an almighty boost by declaring himself fit for Saturday evening 's visit to Arsenal . De Gea dislocated his little finger during a Spain training session last week but the injury is understood to have improved to such an extent that he now believes he has a high chance of starting at the Emirates Stadium . Sources close to the Spanish team told Sportsmail on Tuesday evening that the United No 1 has ` an 80 per cent ' chance of making the starting line-up when his club return to Barclays Premier League action this weekend . Manchester United could be handed a boost with the news David de Gea might play against Arsenal . The Spain stopper injured a finger while away with the national team last week . De Gea will be assessed by United 's medical staff and goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek upon his return to Carrington and providing the swelling continues to go down , he should be passed fit . It is telling that De Gea has been allowed to remain with Spain despite suffering the injury . He was also named on the bench for the 3-0 victory over Belarus on Saturday and the clash against Germany in Vigo on Tuesday night . He has started every United game this season and has often been the stand-out performer during the opening months of Van Gaal 's reign . De Gea will be assessed by United 's medical staff and goalkeeping coach Frans Hoek upon his return . VIDEO Man Utd still facing injury problems .

David De Gea dislocated his finger while away with Spain last week . It was believed De Gea would miss four weeks due to the injury . Manchester United goalkeeper could now be fit for Saturday however . Louis van Gaal 's side travel to Arsenal in the Premier League .

The authors of a study calling for GM crops to be fast-tracked into Britain 's farms and kitchens all have links to the industry , it can be revealed . The report was presented as the work of ` independent ' scientists and was published on Thursday by a government advisory body . It was used to support a bid to speed up the development of the controversial crops in the UK , but it has emerged that all five authors have a vested interest in promoting GM crops and food -- and some are part-funded by the industry . Opposition : Critics of GM described the ` independent ' report as ` biased and downright dangerous ' . Pictured is an anti-GM protest in 2002 . Critics of GM last night described the report as ` biased and downright dangerous ' , and accused the biotech giants and the Government of mounting a crude propaganda campaign to overturn public opposition . The academics behind the study were chosen by the Council for Science and Technology , the body that advises the Prime Minister on science policy issues . In the report presented at a press conference on Thursday , no information was given about the five scientists beyond their names and the institutions they work for . They include Professor Sir David Baulcombe , from Cambridge University , who works as a consultant for GM firm Syngenta , which gives his department research funding . Syngenta is behind a genetically modified maize or corn , called GA21 , which could go into UK farms as early as next spring , making it Britain 's first commercially grown GM crop . Also on the list is Professor Jonathan Jones , of the Sainsbury Laboratory , which is at the centre of Britain 's GM research . It is part-funded by former Labour science minister , Lord Sainsbury , who is one of the country 's biggest supporters of the technology . Another co-author was Professor Jim Dunwell , of the University of Reading . He was a founder member of CropGen , which describes its mission as ` to make the case for GM crops and foods ' . The study suggested GM crops could save the hungry in the Third World from starvation and create new plants resistant to disease and pests . ` Sales pitch ' : Opponents have questioned whether the scientists ' conclusions are to be believed . The authors argued that current EU regulation should be re-drawn to allow the UK to go it alone and plant the crops , even if the rest of Europe objects . By contrast , the study pulled a veil over evidence of harm to the countryside , insects and wildlife associated with industrial GM farming practices . The US has seen the emergence of superweeds that are immune to some chemical sprays and are now choking fields . Separately , there has been an absence of research into the health effects of eating GM . A spokesman for GM Watch , Claire Robinson , said : ` By no stretch of the imagination can these people be described as independent scientists . ` Their views should be treated with the same scepticism we would apply to any sales pitch . ' Critics say the timing of the release of the study and a supporting letter from the Government 's chief scientist , Sir Mark Walport , are highly suspicious . The details were sent to David Cameron in November -- but Sir Mark and ministers delayed going public until now . Food and Farming Secretary Owen Paterson , who is a passionate supporter of GM farming , is trying to convince the EU to allow Britain to plant GM crops even if other states want a ban . The publication of the supposedly independent study calling for exactly this policy is expected to prove useful in those negotiations . The director of GM Freeze , Liz O'Neill , said : ` A group of scientists with financial interests in the success of GM wrote a letter to the Prime Minister in November but waited four months to tell the Press about it -- just in time for EU discussions about regulation . Something certainly smells a bit fishy . ' The administrations in Scotland and Wales have previously made it clear they want nothing to do with GM crops . ` Suspicious ' : The report is being used to speed up the development of GM crops in the UK . Dr Brian John , of the group GM Free Wales , said : ` This extraordinary report , published very conveniently to coincide with Owen Paterson 's attempts within the EU to dismantle GM regulations and to repatriate powers to the UK , is in turns naive , biased , disingenuous , cynical and downright dangerous . ` We find it incredible that five senior scientists can have been so dismissive of the work of scores of independent scientists who have discovered that GM organisms are directly and indirectly harmful to mammals and to the environment . ` In the world of science there should be respect for those whose findings are `` inconvenient '' . ' Sir David yesterday confirmed his connection to Syngenta , but said : ` I am independent in that I am not paid a salary by any corporate organisation . I do receive funding for research in my lab from Syngenta and consult for them -- although I do not receive the fee as it goes to a departmental fund . ' Prof Jones said that while some might question his independence , he was simply ` very well informed about GM science and technology ' . Prof Dunwell said he was a founder of CropGen , but no longer had any ties to the GM lobby group . He added : ` I am an independent scientist . ' The two other authors were Professor John Pickett , of Rothamsted Research , and Professor Pere Puigdomenech , of the universities of Cambridge and Barcelona . Rothamsted is heavily involved in GM research . Prof Pickett said : ` I greatly value links with industry , particularly at the technology transfer level , and these are completely transparent interactions . ' Prof Puigdomenech was co-chairman of the seventh International Plant Molecular Biotechnology Congress , sponsored by Monsanto , Bayer and DuPont . He could not be contacted for a comment . Last night , the Science Media Centre , which released the report , insisted the authors were independent . A spokesman said : ` They are not employed by government or industry and each works for different publicly funded universities and research institutes . For better or worse , it 's not unusual any more for universities and institutions to get bits and pieces of funding from government , charities and industry -- indeed many can only access public money on condition that they raise a proportion of their funds from commercial or private sources . ` This does not automatically undermine their independence . ' But Soil Association chief executive Helen Browning said : ` It 's really just not good enough for a group of scientists who have a strong interest , it seems , through their funding sources , in persuading a reluctant public to accept the growing of GM crops in the UK , to be the ones who attempt to write the rule book on how that should happen . ' PROFESSOR JONATHAN JONES - Sainsbury Laboratory . Professor Jones proudly wears a T-shirt in his Twitter page image with the slogan : ` GM food ? Am I bovvered ? I am not bovvered . ' He is group director at the Sainsbury Laboratory , and is also the founder of and adviser to biotech company Mendel Biotechnology , which counts Monsanto -- a GM giant -- as a major client . Mendel has been granted more than 20 biotechnology and GM patents . Mendel 's 2009 annual report noted two collaborative partnerships : one with Monsanto and the other with Bayer CropScience . Professor Jones co-founded the UK 's ` first GM crop company ' , Norfolk Plant Sciences , to find ways of commercialising Sainsbury Laboratory 's GM research into a new type of tomato . PROFESSOR SIR DAVID BAULCOMBE - University of Cambridge . Sir David is a consultant for the GM crop company Syngenta . The fees he receives , which are likely to be many thousands of pounds a year , go into a department fund to support his work . He was previously the head of the Sainsbury Laboratory , which is part of the John Innes Centre -LRB- JIC -RRB- in Norwich . The Sainsbury Laboratory is at the heart of Britain 's GM research . It has received millions of pounds in donations from Lord Sainsbury , a former Labour science minister and champion of GM . Professor Baulcombe is also Regius Professor of Botany at Cambridge University . PROFESSOR JIM DUNWELL - University of Reading . A founding member of the pro-GM lobby group CropGen in 2000 . The group 's stated mission is to ` make the case for GM crops and foods by helping to achieve a greater measure of realism and better balance in the UK 's public discussions on agriculture and food ' . Professor Dunwell says that he has not been in contact with CropGen since 2002 . However , he remains an advocate for GM . Recently , he wrote an opinion piece in which he accused the EU of slowing down the commercial exploitation of GM crops as a result of ` unnecessarily tight ' regulation . PROFESSOR JOHN PICKETT - Rothamsted Research Station . He works at Rothamsted Research , which lists biotech firms Aventis , DuPont , Novartis and Syngenta as ` partners ' . Rothamsted , in Hertfordshire , is hosting a trial to grow GM wheat , which contains genes from the mint plant and gives off a scent that deters pests . Professor Pickett suggested the technology could be commercialised to generate money for its developers . In 1998 , he was heavily involved in rubbishing research published by Professor Arpad Pusztai , of Aberdeen 's Rowett Research Institute , which appeared to show that feeding GM potatoes to rats had negative effects on the animals ' stomach lining and immune system . PROFESSOR PERE PUIGDOMENECH - Institute of Molecular Biology at Barceolna CSIC and visiting research fellow at Cambridge . HE has worked closely with Sir David and has links with The Sainsbury Laboratory , the John Innes Centre , and Rothamsted Research Station . Spain is the only country in Europe in which substantial areas are planted with GM maize . Prof Puigdomenech was also co-chairman of the seventh International Plant Molecular Biotechnology Congress , sponsored by Monsanto , Bayer and DuPont .

Government advisory body presented an ` independent ' report on Thursday . It was used to support a bid to speed up the use of GM food in the UK . But in fact all five authors have a vested interest in promoting GM crops .

South Korea has displayed for the first time all three DIY drones that have landed on its soil in recent weeks , adding that tests suggest they are highly likely to have been built and sent by North Korea . Wreckage from each of the crude and decidedly low-tech drones was displayed during a press conference by South Korea 's Agency for Defense Development in the city of Daejeon this morning . Last week South Korean experts said that although the drones were fitted with simple Nikon and Canon cameras that are available to purchase on the internet for just a few hundred dollars , they underscore a new threat from North Korea that must be taken seriously . Crude : Wreckage of the decidedly low-tech drones was displayed during a press conference by South Korea 's state-run Agency for Defense Development in Daejeon this morning . Evidence : The South Korean Defence Ministry said the distinctive sky blue colour of the drones was similar to those displayed to the North 's communist leader Kim Jong-un during a recent military parade . Basic : The drones were fitted with simple Nikon and Canon cameras that can be purchased cheaply online . During today 's press conference , South Korea 's defense ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok was quoted as saying : ' A joint investigation result found several pieces of circumstantial evidence that strongly show the small UAVs were sent by North Korea ' . He said the technical specifications of the drones and the photos found on their cameras suggest they had not travelled to the country from China or Japan , according to the Yonhap News Agency . The spokesman reportedly also said the distinctive sky blue colour of the drones was similar to those displayed to the North 's communist leader Kim Jong-un during a recent military parade . Kim Min-seok is said to have added that the drones would be show to several other countries - including the United States - before South Korea could formally conclude they were sent from the North . Threat : If , as expected , the drones turn out to have come from North Korea , the South has already warned it will consider a military response , branding the drones a serious provocation . Distance : South Korea 's defense ministry reportedly said the technical specifications of the drones and the photos found on their cameras suggest they had not travelled to the country from China or Japan . Viewing : South Korea 's Agency for Defense Development put the three drones on display together for the first time during a press conference this morning . If , as expected , that turns out to be . the case , South Korea has already warned it will consider a military response , . branding the drones a serious provocation . Earlier this week South Korea released pictures of one of the small rudimentary drones shortly after it landed on its soil . The wreckage - which looks more like a remote-controlled toy aeroplane than a piece of military hardware - was reported on April 3 after it was found by a 53-year-old wild ginseng digger . The drones have sparked fears that Kim Jong-Un 's dictatorship could adapt the technology for terror attacks . Simplistic : A parachute and a large bundle of orange wires were found alongside this simple drone , which crashed in South Korea in recent weeks . Earlier this week South Korea released pictures of one of the small rudimentary drones found on a mountain in Samcheok , South Korea . North Korean leader Kim Jong-un -LRB- second from the right -RRB- looks at small drones in an image captured from a documentary that aired on Korean Central Television on June 16 , 2013 . The most recent unmanned aircraft was found in mountains near Samcheok , in South Korea 's Gangwon Province . One had crashed in Paju , a city near the border with North Korea , on March 24 . The other crashed on the island of Baengnyeong . The captured drones were basic , at best , South Korean experts told Hani.co.kr , but they if improved they could be used for terrorist attacks . The most recent to crash was equipped with Japanese-made Canon cameras available on the internet for just a few hundred pounds . The Paju drone was also equipped with a Canon camera and the other one carried a Nikon camera . All three were painted sky blue and probably cost only a few thousand dollars to build . The two earlier drones were smaller , 55in wide by 71in long . The drone was 4ft long with a 6ft wingspan and weighed 15kg . The drone was equipped with Japanese-made cameras available on the internet for just a few hundred pounds . Officials said lettering on the . battery of the drone found at Paju and other forensic evidence suggest . it was of North Korean origin and it had enough fuel to return to North . Korea . In June last year , North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un was filmed looking at small . drones in an image captured from a documentary that aired on Korean . Central Television . According to the military , the third . drone was 4ft long with a 6ft wingspan and weighed 15kg . The site was . approximately 130km from the Military Demarcation Line , making this the . farthest south of the armistice line of any suspected North Korean . drones found to date . Ministry . of National Defense spokesman Kim Min-seok said the military was sent to the site where the . small drone was found after a report was received from a local resident . ` The location was 940 meters above sea level in the area of Cheongok Mountain in Samcheok 's Hajang Township , ' Kim said . ` The UAV was confirmed to be the same type as the triangular , sky-blue miniature UAV found in Paju , ' he added . The camera 's memory chip contained photographs , but these were no longer available after the man , called Lee , erased the device for personal use , the military reported . This reconnaissance picture shows an aerial view of Seoul 's Jichuk Station : The discovery has prompted fears that South Korea 's air defences are not up to the job of in the new era of drone warfare . Spying : This undated handout picture provided by the South Korean Defence Ministry shows an aerial image of Eunpyung New Town , Seoul , from a camera on the unmanned North Korean drone which crashed in Paju . Rudimentary : A suspected North Korean reconnaissance drone found near Paju . A military official quoted Lee as recalling that images of Donggwang Lake -LRB- near Samcheok -RRB- and coastal regions were present before the data was erased . However hundreds of images were found on the drone found at Paju , including the South Korean president 's compound in Seoul . Security has been stepped up at the Blue . House in Seoul , the official residence of current President Park . Guen-hye and location of a 1968 assassination attempt by Pyongyang . against the then South Korean leader , since the discovery . The discovery has sparked fears that Kim Jong-Un 's dictatorship could adapt the technology for terror attacks . The Ministry of National Defense said it plans to hold a meeting of major general commanders today to assess the security situation and present detailed guidelines for a firm response . The Joint Chiefs of Staff also plans to hold simultaneous reconnaissance patrols for all its units this week in case additional North Korean drones were deployed . ` If North Korea is determined to be responsible , we plan to respond sternly and in various ways , including possible legal action for the violation of our airspace , ' said Kwon Oh-han , an Army major general and director of the JCS operational bureau . Meanwhile , North Korea made its first public mention of the drone controversy on April 5 , twelve days after the discovery of the Paju drone was reported in the press on Mar. 25 . But the statement neither confirmed nor denied South Korean authorities ' claims of North Korea 's responsibility for the drones . While criticising a recent missile test launch by South Korea , the statement from a North Korean strategic forces spokesman said Seoul had ` further damaged its already rock-bottom dignity with an out-of-nowhere drone situation . ' It went on to say that ` unidentified drones were flying freely around downtown Seoul , including the Blue House and Gyeongbok Palace areas , and blithely traveling the skies over where Baengnyeong Island was being pummeled . '

Three small and basic drones were found in South Korea in recent weeks . South Korea says they are highly likely to have been sent by North Korea . Although drones are rudimentary , South says they must be taken seriously . The most-recent aircraft to crash was found in mountains near Samcheok . It was equipped with a cheap and simple Japanese-made Canon camera .

Said research house prices will be 13 per cent higher over next 20 years than if migration were at zero . House prices will rise by more than 10 per cent unless mass immigration is controlled , Theresa May warned yesterday . The increases in the years to come would go beyond other pressures on the housing market -- dealing a blow to young Britons already struggling to get on the property ladder . In a speech in London , the Home Secretary delivered a blunt analysis of the impact of Labour 's ` open door ' immigration policy . Home Secretary Theresa May announced plans for a simplified visa applications for overseas students . She said the influx had driven down wages for the working classes and placed huge pressure on schools and social cohesion . Mrs May cited house prices as an . example of how demand created by migrants was having an impact on the . wider public . Her officials pointed to research by Professor Stephen . Nickell which predicted that , if net immigration runs at 190,000 a year , . house prices will end up 13 per cent higher over the next two decades . than they would if migration were at zero . Currently , net migration -- the . difference between the number of people arriving in the UK and those . leaving -- is 183,000 , though Mrs May has vowed to reduce it to the ` tens . of thousands ' . Busy : The need for housing is growing . She said : ` More than one third of all new housing demand . in Britain is caused by immigration . ` And there is evidence that without . the demand caused by mass immigration , house prices could be 10 per cent . lower over a 20 year period . ' Mrs May delivered her speech to the . Policy Exchange think-tank only 24 hours after publication of the 2011 . census . The survey showed how , under ten years of Labour , nearly four . million immigrants joined the population of England and Wales . In total , 7.5 million people who were . born abroad were living here last year -- and more than half of these . have arrived since 2001 . In a blistering attack on the Labour . years , Mrs May criticised the last government for failing to measure the . impact of immigration on public services and housing , and for assuming . it had no impact on the jobs and wages of the settled population . She warned that mass immigration . undermines social cohesion by making it ` impossible ' to establish the . relationships , family ties and social bonds that create a community . Mrs May said the Migration Advisory . Committee , which is a panel of government advisers , had found ` a clear . association between non-European immigration and employment in the UK ' -- . with 160,000 British workers ` displaced ' between 1995 and 2010 . Some 23 British workers were kept out . of employment for every additional 100 immigrants employed , she said , . adding : ` For those on lower wages , more immigration means more workers . competing for a limited number of low-skilled jobs . ` The result is lower wages -- and the . people who lose out are working-class families , as well as ethnic . minority communities and recent immigrants themselves . ' In future , government impact . assessments will no longer assume that migrants make a positive . contribution to the economy by paying taxes and spending their wages . The burden they place on public services will also be considered , she said . Mrs May also denounced the student visa policy inherited from Labour as a ` mess ' which was ` abused on an industrial scale ' . Last night Sir Andrew Green , chairman . of Migration Watch , said : ` At last we have a Home Secretary who is . honest about the consequences of mass immigration and ready to take on . the bogus arguments for it . '

Home Secretary : ` More than one third of all new housing demand caused by immigration ' Said research house prices will be 13 per cent higher over next 20 years than if migration were at zero . Fewer than one in every 150 . last-ditch immigration appeals is successful , ministers will reveal today as they launch plans to combat ` spurious ' court actions . Critics say the appeals are often a ploy to let illegal immigrants and failed asylum seekers prolong their time in Britain .

Ukip has been revealed as the laziest party in the whole of Europe , missing more than one in three votes in Brussels . Nigel Farage 's MEPs turned up for just 61.1 per cent of votes , putting them at the bottom of a league table of 76 parties from across the EU . David Cameron has urged voters to back the Tories in next week 's European elections , because his MEPs will ` turn up and vote for Britain ' . An analysis of voting records in the European Parliament reveals Ukip MEPs turn up for fewer votes than any other party . An analysis of voting records of the last five years in the European Parliament reveals Ukip members are the worst attendees . The study by VoteWatch Europe for The Times looked at all parties with more than three MEPs from across the 26 nations in the EU bloc . Ukip was ranked 76th out of 76 parties , attending on average 61.1 per cent of votes over the five-year Parliament . Among the six worst MEPs out of 764 , three were from Ukip . It includes controversial figure Godfrey Bloom , who resigned as a Ukip MEP after calling a room of women at a party event ` sluts ' last year . Mr Bloom attended just 23.11 per cent of votes , the lowest of any politician in the EU , although in 2012 he was treated for cancer and spent time away from Brussels and Strasbourg . By contrast , the 12 Lib Dems in Brussels turned up for 86.9 per cent of votes , putting them at 29th in the league table , Labour ranked 41st on 85 per cent and the Conservatives 60th on 80.4 per cent . Mr Cameron yesterday insisted it was vital that British MEPs take part in votes in the European Parliament to influence new laws . ` These elections do matter , ' the Prime Minister told LBC 97.3 . ` The European Parliament makes rules that apply to our businesses , it spends money that comes out of our taxpayers ' pockets . ` We should send people there who are going to turn up and vote for Britain . ` One of the things about my budget cut in Europe , that saved Britain # 8bn , is actually the Ukip MEPs , including Nigel Farage , voted against it in the European Parliament . ` So , you know , it 's like that expression , a dog is for life not just for Christmas , you 're sending men and women to the European Parliament , send those that have got a plan for sorting our Britain 's relationship and defending our interest . ' David Cameron has insisted voting in the European Parliament elections does matter . Ukip leader Mr Farage was ranked 759th after taking part in 43 per cent of votes . He has previously defended his party 's voting record , , insisting Ukip 's policy of engaging ` sufficiently ' with the EU to provoke debate had proved successful . ` Our objective as MEPs is not to keep voting endlessly for more EU legislation and to take power away from Westminster , ' he said in March . ` Our view in 15 years has been that we engage sufficiently here and we use that information to get a debate going back in the United Kingdom . ` It seems to me , given the debate we are now having on the European Union , that the Ukip policy has been pretty successful . ' However Doru Frantescu , policy director of Vote-Watch , told The Times : ` The fact that a political group or a national party delegation is less participative than others when voting clearly diminishes its power to influence the outcome of EU legislation . ' `` Many people do n't realise that a vote for UKIP is a vote for the laziest party in the European Parliament '' Richard Howitt , a Labour MEP , said : ` Ukip has vacated its duties in the European Parliament just as it would leave Britain with an empty seat at the EU table . ` Voters need to understand quite how lazy Ukip MEPs are . They are not only among the fringe parties in Europe but are also the laziest . ' Liberal Democrat MEP Fiona Hall : ` There is no doubt about it , UKIP MEPs offer the worst possible value for money for their constituents . Time and again they fail to turn up for crucial votes that benefit British citizens , whether it 's research funding for our leading universities , slashing roaming charges for holidaymakers or ending wasteful overfishing in our seas . ` As the hardest-working delegation in Brussels , Lib Dem MEPs strive day in and day out to stand up for British interests and build a stronger , fairer and greener economy . ' The Green Party has two MEPs , so was not included in the study . However , the party said its MEPs turned up to more than 90 per cent of votes . Green MEP Keith Taylor said : ` This new research makes it clear that UKIP simply ca n't be trusted to represent their constituents . Their MEPs happily claim the parliamentary salary and expenses , but they do n't even show up to four in ten of the key votes . ` Many people do n't realise that a vote for UKIP is a vote for the laziest party in the European Parliament .

In October 2004 skeletal remains found on the island of Flores in Indonesia hinted at a previously unknown species of human that existed 15,000 years ago . Called Homo floresiensis , the species was dubbed a ` hobbit ' as it was smaller than any other known species of human . But reanalysis has revealed that it may not be a new species at all , but rather a human that has features consistent with someone with Down 's syndrome . Reanalysis of bones found in Indonesia suggests they are not from a ` hobbit ' . Scientists say the finding on Flores Island can be attributed to Down 's syndrome . This image compares the skull of the ` hobbit ' LB1 -LRB- left -RRB- to that of Liang Momer E , another skull from Flores , dated in the range of 3,000 to 5,000 years ago . The latest findings , reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , was conducted by an international team of researchers . They suggest that the single specimen on which the new designation depends , known as LB1 after the cave it was discovered in - Liang Bua - does not represent a new species . Indeed , aside from LB1 , no substantial new bone discoveries have been made in the cave since this finding . ` The skeletal sample from Liang Bua cave contains fragmentary remains of several individuals , ' said Dr Robert Eckhardt , professor of developmental genetics and evolution at Penn State University . ` LB1 has the only skull and thigh bones in the entire sample . ' The first indicator that the finding could be explained by Down 's syndrome was craniofacial asymmetry , a left-right mismatch of the skull that is characteristic of the disorder . The 15,000-year-old skeleton , officially known as Homo floresiensis , got its nickname from its squat stature . The 3-foot -LRB- 1-metre -RRB- tall , 30-year-old female was based on remains that were uncovered in the Liang Bua cave on the remote Indonesian island of Flores in 2003 . Since the discovery , scientists debated whether the specimen actually represents an extinct species in the human family tree , perhaps a diminutive offshoot of Homo erectus , a 1.8-million-year-old hominid and the first to have body proportions comparable to those of modern Homo sapiens . The researchers noted this asymmetry in LB1 as early as 2006 , but it had not been reported by the excavating team and was later dismissed as a result of the skull 's being long buried , he said . Initial descriptions of Homo floresiensis focused on LB1 's unusual anatomical characteristics : a cranial volume reported as only 380 milliliters -LRB- 23.2 cubic inches -RRB- , suggesting a brain less than one third the size of an average modern human . The skeleton also had short thigh bones , which were used to reconstruct a creature standing only 3.5 feet -LRB- 1.06 metres -RRB- tall . Although LB1 lived only 15,000 years ago , comparisons were made to earlier hominins , including Homo erectus and Australopithecus . Other traits were characterised as unique and therefore indicative of a new species . But a thorough re-examination of the available evidence in the context of clinical studies , the researchers said , suggests a different explanation . In the first place , they write , the original figures for cranial volume and stature are underestimates , ` markedly lower than any later attempts to confirm them . ' The researchers have consistently found a cranial volume of about 430 milliliters -LRB- 26.2 cubic inches -RRB- . ` The difference is significant , and the revised figure falls in the range predicted for a modern human with Down 's syndrome from the same geographic region , ' Dr Eckhardt said . The latest findings , reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , was conducted by an international team of researchers . They suggest that the single specimen on which the new designation depends , known as LB1 after the cave it was discovered in - Liang Buaon Flores Island - is not a new species . LB1 is shown in three different views to illustrate facial asymmetry . A is the actual specimen , B is the right side doubled at the midline and mirrored , and C is the left side doubled and mirrored . Differences in left and right side facial architectures are apparent , and illustrate growth abnormalities of LB1 . The original estimate of 3.5 feet -LRB- 1.06 metres -RRB- for the creature 's height was based on extrapolation combining the short thigh bone with a formula derived from an African pygmy population . But humans with Down 's syndrome also have diagnostically short thigh bones , Dr Eckhardt said . Though these and other features are unusual , he acknowledged , ` unusual does not equal unique . ` The originally reported traits are not so rare as to have required the invention of a new hominin species . ' Instead , the researchers build the case for an alternative diagnosis : that of Down 's syndrome , one of the most commonly occurring developmental disorders in modern humans . ` When we first saw these bones , several of us immediately spotted a developmental disturbance , ' said Eckhardt , ` but we did not assign a specific diagnosis because the bones were so fragmentary . ` Over the years , several lines of evidence have converged on Down 's syndrome . ' This reconstruction of what LB1 was once thought to look like was created by researchers in Australia at the University of Woollongong in 2012 . Using the skill fragments found in Flores , they added muscle and skin to reveal her face , but the assumption she was a new species of human may now not be true . Here Dr Susan Hayes -LRB- right -RRB- looks at a replica of Homo floresienses with Penny Williamson from the University of Woollongong 's Earth and Environmental Sciences back in 2012 . The new research , however , claims the bones have all the markings of an ancient human that suffered from Down 's syndrome . A previously unpublished measurement of LB1 's occipital-frontal circumference - the circumference of the skull taken roughly above the tops of the ears - allowed the researchers to compare LB1 to clinical data routinely collected on patients with developmental disorders . Here too , the brain size they estimate is within the range expected for an Australomelanesian human with Down 's syndrome . LB1 's short thigh bones not only match the height reduction seen in Down 's syndrome , Dr Eckhardt said , but when corrected statistically for normal growth , they would yield a stature of about 1.26 meters , or just over four feet , a figure matched by some humans now living on Flores and in surrounding regions . These and other Down-like characteristics , the researchers state , are present only in LB1 , and not in the other Liang Bua skeletal remains , further evidence of LB1 's abnormality . ` This work is not presented in the form of a fanciful story , but to test a hypothesis : Are the skeletons from Liang Bua cave sufficiently unusual to require invention of a new human species ? ' Dr Eckhardt said . ` Our reanalysis shows that they are not . The less strained explanation is a developmental disorder . ` Here the signs point rather clearly to Down 's syndrome , which occurs in more than one per thousand human births around the world . '

Reanalysis of bones found in Indonesia suggests they are not from a ` hobbit ' Scientists say finding on Flores Island can be attributed to Down 's syndrome . This counteracts previous claims that the bones belonged to a previously unknown species of human 15,000 years ago . Researchers say the initial findings were flawed in their analysis of ` LB1 ' Instead they claim the bones have all the markings of an ancient human that suffered from the disorder and is not a new species .

It was introduced last Christmas as a special party food treat under the banner of Michelin star chef , Heston Blumenthal . However , the ham hock and piccalilli terrine sold by Waitrose has since proved remarkably elusive . One shopper has revealed that she has tried to order the terrine 13 times in recent months via the supermarket 's website without once seeing it arrive in her kitchen . Scroll down for video . The ham hock and piccalilli terrine sold by Waitrose under the banner of Michelin star chef , Heston Blumenthal , has proved remarkably ellusive . Heston offered a glowing description when the terrine was launched , saying : ` This is a chunk ham hock and smoked ham mixed with zingy piccalilli -- a pork and pickly combo to really get your teeth into . ' The absence of the terrine is something of a mystery and suggests either Waitrose has been unable to keep up with demand or , more worrying for Heston , that production has been restricted because of poor demand . The reviews on the Waitrose website and food blogs offers a distinctly mixed verdict , with some suggesting it has left a nasty taste in the mouth . The single review on the Waitrose website from a woman who lives near Devizes in Wiltshire , appears under the heading ` Underwhelming ' . It adds : ` Absolutely nothing special about this , nowhere near as good as my own fromage de tête -LRB- J Grigson recipe -RRB- , will not buy again . ' Blumenthal pictured outside his Fat Duck restaurant in , Bray , Berkshire , offered a glowing description when the terrine was launched . A blog on a food lovers website offers an even grimmer description , suggesting the two slices in the pack , ` do look alarmingly like dog food with a bit of colour added ' . It adds : ` I peeled back the cellophane and it was like someone had just farted in my face . ' The blog concluded : ` The texture was really good , it was n't over processed and had chunks of ham alongside the broken down pulled apart pork , it was a satisfying meaty mouthful . ` Unfortunately that is where the positives end , because it did n't taste too good . In fact it tasted just like cheap hot dog sausages . ' However , there were other positive reviews on the web , particularly the Ocado website . One five star rating described it as the ` nicest pate we 've had in a long time ' . Another reviewer wrote : ` A rather coarse terrine but tasty all the same . Comes in two slices individually packaged which is extremely handy for picnics or packed lunch . Has a nice mix of flavour with a kick from the pickle . ' A Waitrose spokesman said : ` This is a speciality product and branches do n't hold a great deal of stock - so we are sorry this has caused availability problems for this online customer . We are very sorry for any inconvenience caused . '

Heston Blumenthal 's ham hock terrine was introduced last Christmas . But since then , the terrine has proved remarkably difficult to buy . One shopper revealed she has tried to order it 13 times in recent months . Reviews on Waitrose website offer a distinctly mixed verdict .

Shame : Mostafa Ahmed Awwad , 35 , of Yorktown , covers his face as he leaves the federal courthouse in Norfolk . A U.S. Navy civilian engineer has been indicted on charges after he tried to steal schematics of an aircraft carrier under construction and have them sent to Egypt . Mostafa Ahmed Awwad , 35 , of Yorktown , Virginia , was arrested on two counts of attempted exportation of defense articles and technical data on Friday . He provided computer drawings downloaded from the Navy to an undercover FBI agent posing as an Egyptian intelligence officer . Prosecutors said Awwad intended to steal technical data about the designs of the USS Gerald R. Ford in late October . He was contacted by an undercover FBI agent speaking in Arabic in September and the pair met the next day at a park in Hampton . At the meeting , Awwad said he intended to use his position of trust with the Navy to obtain military technology for use by the Egyptian government . He met the agent for a second time in October at a hotel where Awwad described his plan to circumvent Navy computer security by installing software enabling him to copy documents without tripping a security alert . Later , the undercover agent was given aircraft carrier drawings marked with warnings that foreign distribution could result in criminal prosecution . The designs were for the ` Ford ' the lead ship in a new class of carriers which is scheduled for delivery to the Navy in 2016 . Thief : Awwad , 35 , was arrested on charges he tried to steal schematics for the under construction Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier for Egypt . Awwad began working for the Navy last February in the Norfolk Naval Shipyard 's nuclear engineering and planning department . He indicated that he understood the computer drawings would be used in Egypt . He also agreed to provide the agent with passport photos to produce a fake Egyptian passport so he could travel without alerting U.S. government officials . The engineer also asked for $ 1,500 to buy a tiny camera to enable him to photograph restricted material around the shipyard , according to an affidavit . On October 23 , Awwad retrieved $ 3,000 in cash from a pre-arranged drop site along a secluded hiking trail and left behind a container with an external hard drive and two passport photos . The FBI later collected the container . Handcuffs : Prosecutors said Awwad provided computer drawings downloaded from the Navy to an undercover FBI agent posing as an Egyptian intelligence officer in October . Ship : Awwad tried to steal technical data in the designs of the USS Gerald R. Ford in late October . Awwad was observed at his Navy office on November 28 holding what appeared to be aircraft carrier design schematics , which he placed on the floor and photographed . He is scheduled for a detention hearing on December 10 , in federal court in Norfolk . The charges carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on each count upon conviction .

For most parents a set of Lego , a solid climbing frame and well-stocked bookcase would be considered a satisfactory selection of facilities at their child 's nursery , but for parents in London 's Clapham , it 's more than their child 's developmental needs that are being met . At the newly opened Clapham Village Nursery , you can drop off your laundry alongside your child in the morning and pick it up ready folded when you come to fetch an expertly-stimulated and -LRB- presumably perfectly laundered -RRB- child at the end of the day . And there 's no stressing about what to make for supper . The nursery will also provide a freshly-cooked meal for the whole family , complete with starter and pudding . A new nursery in Clapham aims to take the stress out of the day for working mums by offering gym classes , laundry services and take-away family suppers . What more could you ask for ? How about a choice of yoga , Pilates or boxercise classes so you do n't have to rush off to the gym , a selection of tea , coffee and pastries to send you off on your morning commute and IT facilities including computers , ipads and printers at your fingertips ? It 's all provided at The Village - for a little extra cost , of course . On top of the # 80 day rate for children , the adult supplement costs # 100 a month , which buys you as many pastries as you can eat , free use of the IT facilities in the ` parent hubb ' and four vouchers for the laundry , meal or exercise services . Of course , your children wo n't do badly either . The nursery has an outdoor beach and tree-house , a fully-equipped mini kitchen and art studio . ` We had a number of meetings with local parents before opening to find out how we could make their life easier and these were some of the aspects that were mentioned , ' explains the nursery 's manager Malcolm Vickery to the MailOnline . ` Parents feel they 're constantly going backwards and forwards so we 're trying to reduce their need to rush about , ' he adds . The ` parent hub ' at Clapham Village Nursery -LRB- above -RRB- includes a kitchen , stocked with tea , coffee and pastries as well as an IT suite with computers , iPads and printing facilities . The outdoor space at the five-star Clapham Village Nursery allows children to explore their surroundings . Considering that a recent study found that the school or nursery drop-off and cooking dinner for the family were the two most stressful parts of the day , perhaps The Village is onto something . The survey , which was commissioned to mark October 's Walk to School Month also found that 83 per cent of parents ` ca n't cope ' juggling drop-offs with getting to work on time . So a little help with the chores , which are often squeezed in before and after drop-off , would no doubt de-stress the day for many a working working mother . But it 's not always that simple its it ? What about the parents who ca n't afford to spend # 25 a pop on laundering their dirty underpants ? Anand . Shukla , Chief Executive of Family and Childcare Trust says more needs to be done for families who are n't on a posh budget . Children at the Clapham Village Nursery can experience real cooking in the mini kitchen . Not just a pot of paint for these lucky tots : the fully-equipped art studio -LRB- above -RRB- . ` Far too . many parents are unable to access childcare that meets their needs , ' Shukla tells the MailOnline . ` Where childcare is available , it . is often at a high cost to parents , with parents in Britain paying a . higher proportion of their salary on childcare than all other European . countries except Switzerland . ` Bold . reforms are needed if we are going to achieve high quality childcare that is . affordable and truly meets the needs of modern families , ' he adds . Pilates for stressed parents may not be top of the government 's proprieties but nurseries that provide auxiliary services for working mothers and reforms that provide more flexibility in the work place could be . But downward dogs and puff pastries aside could ideas like The . Village 's ` parent hub ' concept also tackle what has been dubbed the ` ghost children ' phenomena . Earlier this year the . Association of Teachers and Lecturers Earlier warned that a generation of . children as young as four are stuck in a nursery or school environment for up to ten hours a day without parental touch . Vickery hopes the nursery can go someway . to help parents spend more time with their children . ` The idea is that . parents can tap in and tap out of work all on our premises . Freelancers . use the IT suite as their office and quite often parents who work in an . office use it for conference calls that have to be scheduled at times . that coincide with pick up or drop off , which means they can leave the . office earlier , ' he explains . However the nursery does not encourage . parents to make their presence known once they 've kissed their little . ones goodbye as it can be ` unsettling for the child ' . But Vickery says . the extra facilities mean parents who freelance or work from home can . use the nursery as their office , cutting out journey times and . shortening the hours away from their child . Educational psychologist Hannah Abrahams believes parental presence in the nursery could be beneficial for the children in many ways . ` Anything that encourages parents and carers to work in collaboration and helps communication between the two is good for the children , ' she says . The nursery is hoping to cater to parents ' needs as well as children 's . The slick entrance to Clapham Village Nursery : By creating more facilities for parents on site , they hope parents will be able to spend more time with their children . ` Creating that link between home and nursery can be very useful in managing any difficulties a child might be facing and sharing experiences between parents and carers can have positive affects on their development , ' she adds . ' I can also see the appeal for parents . It could feel quite comforting knowing your child is just downstairs - especially if they are young . ' But Abrahams agrees that knowing parents are working upstairs could be unsettling for the children . ` It depends on the child , but it could make it harder for children to settle knowing their parents are right there . Part of the experience for children is learning to separate from a parent and understanding that when they say goodbye to you in the morning , you will still come back to collect them at the end of the day . ' For # 100 a month parents have four vouchers to use on the following : . Also included iare as many pastries as you can eat and use of the IT facilities in the ` parent hub '

Clapham Village Nursery in London offers services to help working parents . Extras include a laundry service and family meal take-away . The nursery 's ` parent hub ' , has IT suite and a kitchen stocked with pastries . Yoga , Pilates and boxercise classes also on offer . The adult supplement costs # 100 a month for use of ` parent hub ' and four extra services .

A hit man who authorities said was hired by a woman whose three husbands have all died under unusual circumstances has been convicted of second-degree murder in her second spouse 's shooting . Alfred ` Terry ' Everette , of Mississippi , was convicted on Thursday of gunning down Ernest Smith , 38 , in 2006 , at the behest of Smith 's wife , 50-year-old Emma Raine . Raine has pleaded not guilty in the case and is awaiting trial in March on a second-degree murder charge . Hit man Alfred ` Terry ' Everette -LRB- pictured right -RRB- , of Mississippi , was convicted of killing Ernest Smith , 38 , in 2006 , at the behest of Smith 's wife , 50-year-old Emma Raine -LRB- left -RRB- . Mr Smith , a New Orleans preacher , was the second of Raine 's three husbands . She has been charged only in Smith 's death , but a prosecutor made it clear that the other two deaths were suspicious . ` Her main source of income was killing husbands , ' said Assistant District Attorney Laura Rodrigue , who prosecuted the case with her father , District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro . Emma Raine 's third husband , James Raine , 37 , was shot in their Pearl River , Mississippi , home in 2011 . News reports at the time said police were investigating the shooting as a homicide , and that Emma Raine had been out of town at the time . Her first husband , Leroy Evans , was run over by a car in Vicksburg , Mississippi , and then choked to death in his sleep about a year later , in 1994 , after his feeding tube was removed . Complicating the case - James Raine has been implicated posthumously in Ernest Smith 's death . Prosecutors said James Raine was Emma 's boyfriend while she was married to Smith . He also was the foster brother of hit man Everette . Authorities says James Raine had promised Everette up to $ 100,000 from an $ 800,000 expected life insurance payment to kill Smith , who was shot outside his New Orleans home . During the trial , a foster brother , Enoch Raine , and two uncles , William and Henry Fowler , all testified that Everette admitted killing Smith when they confronted him two days after James Raine was fatally shot . Everette 's defense attorneys , Michael Kennedy and Tanzanika Ruffin , attacked the credibility of Raine 's relatives , saying they hoped to benefit from his life insurance policy . ` If James ' policy is n't paid to Emma , who gets the money ? Ruffin asked the jurors . ` The family does , do n't they ? Of course they do . ' Outside the courtroom , the relatives denied Ruffin 's allegations . ` It was never about money , ' said Enoch Raine , a Mississippi firefighter . 'Em ma and Terry need to be brought to justice for this , ' said William Fowler . ` It has messed with our family . We wanted justice for this . We also wanted justice for James . '

Zinedine Zidane 's eldest son , Enzo , made his debut for Real Madrid 's B side during their 2-1 victory at home to Conquense on Sunday - with his father helping lead the team from the touchline . Real Castilla assistant boss Zidane sent his progeny on with just two minutes left of the match on Sunday . The 19-year-old midfielder failed to score in his extremely short cameo appearance but is expected to become more involved with first-team affairs at the Segunda B - or Spanish third division - side in the coming weeks . Enzo Zidane -LRB- right , pictured in March -RRB- , son of Zinedine , made his debut for Real Madrid Castilla on Sunday . Zinedine Zidane is the assistant coach of Real Madrid 's Castilla side and sent his son on as a substitute . Zinedine Zidane -LRB- left -RRB- , playing for Real Madrid back in 2006 , and his son Enzo , for their youth side in March . Despite only being on the pitch for a matter of minutes , Enzo managed to pull off an impressive ` roulette ' trick . Unsurprisingly , Enzo has been courted by both France and Spain as they look to secure him for their national set-ups . Having already played for the Spanish Under 15 side , the young midfielder was called to France to undertake medical tests with their Under 19 team and has since decided to represent the country of his birth . He was named after Enzo Francescoli , who made 73 appearances for Uruguay and scored 17 goals , as well as playing for French side Marseille . The youngster , who has elected to play for the France Under-19 side , came on in the 88th minute . Enzo Zidane -LRB- centre -RRB- had represented Spain at Under-15 level but has now switched allegiance to France . Zidane 's two younger sons , Theo and Eliza , are also being groomed by Real Madrid 's academy and their father hopes they will make it into the squad in the future too . Enzo is renowned for his trickery and below is a Vine showing him performing outrageous skills during the Real youth side 's match with Sevilla in June . Zidane Snr has been reported by the Spanish National Football Coach Education Centre for his lack of coaching badges - but he is now registered as the assistant coach to Santiago Sanchez having first been named as the manager . However , Miguel Galan , who reported him , claims Zidane is very much the man in charge .

Real Madrid Castilla beat Conquense 2-1 at home on Sunday . Enzo Zidane came on as a substitute to make his debut for the side . His father , Zinedine Zidane , is assistant manager of Castilla team . Zidane 's other two sons , Theo and Eliza , also in Real youth set-up .

CLICK HERE to read who Sportsmail Columnists Jamie Redknapp and Martin Keown think will win the two-horse title race between City and Chelsea . For once , the sound of team-mates lavishing praise on a colleague was not laden with toe - curling cliches . It is the norm for players , when pressed on the merits of a comrade , to trot out well-worn words which , ultimately , hold no substance whatsoever . But as Pablo Zabaleta and Stevan Jovetic stood outside the dressing-rooms at the Stadium of Light , there was relief and appreciation that the subject of their post-match reflection was in their team . Sergio Aguero had been awesome and Zabaleta made it plain how much the striker is valued . Sergio Aguero 's opening strike at Sunderland was among the best of his goals so far this season . The reigning champions have closed the gap on Chelsea at the top of the table to six points . The Argentinian forward is almost single-handedly responsible for City 's recent resurgence . ` Everything he does right now looks so quick , sharp and clinical , ' said the defender . ` He is working really hard for the team off the ball and that is also something you have to appreciate from Sergio , because the strikers normally want to play only with the ball . ` He is probably the best striker in the world at the moment . We are very lucky to have Sergio in the team . ' A hundred yards along the corridor , Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini was echoing their salute , likewise Sunderland boss Gus Poyet . Aguero won warm applause on a cold night from the home fans when , after two goals and an assist during Wednesday 's 4-1 victory , he was substituted late on . Four days earlier , those same supporters had jeered Chelsea 's Diego Costa after he was shackled by Sunderland 's backline during a goalless draw . Aguero 's brace this season has taken his league tally to 14 goals - top of the Premier League scoring charts . Argentina team-mate Pablo Zabaleta 's only regret is that Aguero was not fit and fully firing at the World Cup . But they , like their striker Jozy Altidore who mouthed ` Oh my God ! ' following Aguero 's stunning equaliser , were in awe of the City marksman . Zabaleta is already a two-time Premier League champion , in large part thanks to Aguero . But he could have been a World Cup winner had his Argentine compatriot not been troubled by a loss of form and fitness in Brazil . ` Of course you think what might have been in the World Cup if he 'd been fit , ' said Zabaleta , who was part of the team beaten in the final by Germany . ` But I have known him for a long time and this is probably the best moment of his whole career . ' It is little wonder Jovetic was queuing up to join the appreciation society , for he had profited from Aguero 's brilliance to net his fourth goal of the season . Stevan Jovetic points to Aguero after the free-scoring Argentine set up his goal against Sunderland . Jovetic believes Aguero is behind only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo -LRB- right -RRB- as the world 's best players . Given their proximity on the pitch , the Montenegrin is well placed to offer assessment of his 26-year-old strike partner . ` He is the best player I have played with -- he and David Silva , ' said Jovetic , referencing the Spanish playmaker who could return from a knee injury against Everton tomorrow . ` But Sergio can score some goals ! He is great . He does it every game , and for me it is Messi and Ronaldo and then him -- one of the best players in the world . ` I liked the first goal because when he stopped the ball it was going away from him , and in the last second he did a nutmeg , and scored . ` Then his assist for me was great as well . He is on fire , and if he is like this we can do big things . ' Manuel Pellegrini will be hoping his side can take advantage of a friendly set of festive fixtures . This , though , is not simply the Sergio Aguero show . Zabaleta , Fernandinho and Jesus Navas were all outstanding in midweek . And that is why -- especially given the kindness of their fixtures amid the festive frenzy -- it is they who could be top of the tree when the time arrives to take down the decorations ; Leicester , Crystal Palace , West Bromwich and Burnley -- four of the bottom six -- could well represent the 12 points of Christmas for Pellegrini 's men . With Silva and Edin Dzeko set to return and the positive prognosis on Vincent Kompany 's hamstring meaning he could be back at Leicester next weekend , it is looking like a winter of content for a team who have now won four on the spin . Aguero is on the scoresheet and his pals are giving praise from the same songsheet . Suddenly , everything is in tune at the Etihad .

Sergio Aguero leads the Premier League scoring charts with 14 goals . Pablo Zabaleta believes his team-mate is the ` best striker in the world now ' Stevan Jovetic insists only Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo compare . Manchester City are looking to close the gap on Chelsea during festive run . READ : Man City could find themselves level with Chelsea by New Year .

David Moyes ' Real Sociedad made it three games without conceding but could only draw the first leg of their last-16 Spanish Cup tie against third tier Oviedo . A third clean sheet will please Moyes but his side will now have to finish the job when they meet again in San Sebastian in two weeks , time just three days after the Basque derby against Athletic Bilbao . Moyes had no luck in the cup at Old Trafford with Manchester United knocked out in the third round against Swansea last season and he watched his side contest a hard-fought goal-less draw at the Carlos Tartiere stadium . Real Oviedo demanded a penalty when Franck Omgba -LRB- left -RRB- tumbled over Real Sociedad 's Alex Callens tackle . The Copa del Rey clash was David Moyes ' first since he became Real Sociedad boss in November . Real Oviedo : Esteban , Johannesson , Oscar , J.Vila , David Fdez , Erice , B.Valle -LRB- Sergio Garcia 78 -RRB- , Omgba , Cervero -LRB- c -RRB- -LRB- David Gonzalez 60 -RRB- , Sene , Eneko . Subs : Magunazelaia , Nacho Lopez , Generelo . Booked : Cervero , B.Valle , Oscar . Real Sociedad : Rulli , Elustondo -LRB- Callens 46 -RRB- , Finnbogason , Pardo , Ansotegi -LRB- c -RRB- , Zurutuza -LRB- Oyarzun 66 -RRB- , Castro , Yuri , Zaldua , Gaztanaga , Hervías . Subs not used : Zubikarai , Estrada , Iker Hernandez , Descarte , Aritz Elustondo . Booked : Pardo , Ansotegi . He rested five first team players ahead of this weekend 's visit to Villarreal and a second string side fail to penetrate the second division B team 's defence . Real Sociedad had a penalty shout in the first half when Diego Johannesson looked to have brought down Pablo Hervias inside the area on the half hour but the referee waved away the young winger 's appeals . Hervias was a constant threat for Moyes ' team as Real Sociedad tried to break the deadlock . Midfielder Ruben Pardo , starting the game in place of the rested Markel Bergara and Esteban Granero , also had a deflected shot go just wide before the break but Oviedo defended well and deserved to go in at half-time on level terms . David Zurutuza had the first chance of the second half but the Real Sociedad midfielder headed straight at Oviedo keeper Esteban Suarez after connecting with Chory Castro 's free-kick . Sociedad goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli -LRB- right -RRB- had to be quick to stop Borja Valle in the second half . Zurutuza went close again with a shot from distance as Real Sociedad pushed for the away goal . They were playing without top scorer Carlos Vela whose hat-trick helped Moyes to his first win at the club last Friday . Leading the line in place of the rested Mexican and the injured Imanol Agirretxe was the Iceland international Alfred Finnbogason and his best chance came on the hour when Castro crossed from the left but from six yards out he failed to beat Esteban . Ion Ansotegi -LRB- left -RRB- hugs Oviedo goalkeeper Esteban after the pair are involved in an incident late in the match . Ansotegi -LRB- left -RRB- was promptly booked by the referee after his involvement with Esteban . The Oviedo keeper was in fine form blocking a Castro shot moments later . But the home side were also forcing chances and Josep Sené volleyed over from six yards out . The chance seem to invigorate the minnows and when Franck Omgba tumbled over Alex Callens ' outstretched leg there were calls for a penalty from Oviedo 's players . The referee waved away the appeals and sent coach Sergio Egea off for protesting . The teams take the 0-0 first-leg scoreline into the return game in San Sebastian in two week 's time . The match comes just after three days after the Basque derby with Athletic Bilbao . Moyes may be tempted to play a more first-choice side to ensure progression in the Spanish Cup .

Copa del Rey match was David Moyes ' first taste as Real Sociedad boss . Clean sheet was Sociedad 's third-successive since Moyes took over . Return leg takes place on December 17 in San Sebastian . Oviedo coach Sergio Egea was sent off after they were denied a penalty .

Archaeologists have unearthed hundreds of Roman graves in southwest France , some of which contain skeletons still bound by shackles on their necks and ankles . The incredible excavation is located at a building site about 250m west of the Saintes amphitheatre once used for battles between gladiators and wild animals . Among the hundreds of graves found , five skeletons - four adults and one child - were found shackled or chained . A skeleton uncovered at the Roman burial site pictured exactly as the individual was buried - with an iron shackle attached to his neck . A wider photo shows the same skeleton - thought to be a man - with a shackle on his ankle as well as his neck . This group of four people were buried head-to-toe in a small , trench-style grave . Dating back to the first and second centuries AD , the grave site is thought to have been an important necropolis used for those massacred at the nearby stadium . Three skeletons were found with iron chains attached to their legs , another was buried in a crude shackle around his neck and a child was found with a device on its wrist . Several of the graves were found to be mass burials - pictures show individuals buried side-by-side , head to toe in trench-style graves . The site was first identified as a possible necropolis last year and scientists are now hoping they can establish the individuals ' cause of death . Roman necropoleis were usually constructed in the country as a site for burials and cremations to take place away from tombs built within a city . In this photo , another skeleton can be seen buried with a shackle still attached to its ankle . Unfortunately , the graves at Saintes have yielded almost no artefacts or possessions . Only a few vases were found with the remains of one man , and a child was found with coins resting on his eyes . Roman custom was to place coins on the eyes of the deceased so the person 's spirit could pay the ferryman to take them across the river Romans believed divided the world of the living and that of the dead . The period of Roman rule across what is now France is commonly referred to as Gallo-Roman , and the graves discovered in Saintes this week fall within this category . The period in which the graves were used - the first and second centuries AD - corresponds to a time in history when Saintes ' was a thriving Roman town . It was established as a regional capital during this period because of its location where the major road between Lyon and Acquitaine met with the Charente River . It is famed for its Roman Colosseum-style arena , which when completed , held up to 18,000 people . Construction on the area started during the reign of Tiberius -LRB- 14 - 37AD -RRB- and finished under Claudius -LRB- 41 - 54AD -RRB- . It is the largest and oldest remaining Roman amphitheatre in France .

Archaeologists have discovered hundreds of graves at ancient Roman site . Individuals believed to have been buried during first or second century AD . Several bodies were buried with iron shackles on their necks and ankles . Site may have been used to dispose of the dead from nearby arena . Scientists now hope to identify how and why the individuals died .

Sunderland defender Wes Brown has warned Manchester City not to take anything for granted as they attempt to succeed where Barclays Premier League leaders Chelsea failed . Jose Mourinho 's men left the Stadium of Light with a 0-0 draw - the first time they have failed to score this season - on Saturday evening as the Black Cats turned in a stubborn defensive display and might even have snatched victory in a late flurry of activity . City will follow in their footsteps on Wednesday night when they head for Wearside desperate to end a run of four successive 1-0 league defeats on Wearside , although Brown is looking for more of the same . Sunderland defender managed to keep Chelsea striker Diego Costa quiet at the Stadium of Light . Costa of Chelsea -LRB- right -RRB- catches Sunderland 's Wes Brown with an arm while battling for a header . Asked if Sunderland could extend their remarkable run , the former Manchester United defender said : ` After this result , there 's always a possibility . ` Every game , we go into the game looking to win it and if we show the same commitment again , I 'm sure we 'll have chances . ` If you ask any player which teams they want to play , they 'd say the top four or five . I suppose you would be up for it a little bit more and wanting to do really well . ` Everyone is watching and why not play well against the best teams ? ' Diego Costa 's arm connects with the face of Sunderland defender Brown during a challenge in the air . Chelsea arrived in the north east six points clear at the top of the league after a 19-game unbeaten start to the campaign and determined not to allow their hosts a third win on the trot over them inside 12 months . They enjoyed the greater share of the possession , but were rarely able to break through a red and white wall , and although Willian struck a post with a 17th-minute shot , Black Cats defender Santiago Vergini was later denied by the crossbar . Mourinho , who saw striker Diego Costa pick up just a single yellow card - his fifth of the season , which means he will miss Wednesday game against Tottenham - after clashes with central defenders John O'Shea and Brown , was complimentary about Sunderland 's defensive resilience and insisted he had nothing for which to reproach his players . Chelsea defender Gary Cahill -LRB- left -RRB- challenges Sunderland defender O'Shea in the air on Saturday evening . Brown said : ` We made it very difficult . I thought Catts -LSB- midfielder Lee Cattermole -RSB- was tremendous , like most of the lads , and that gave us a good balance and we showed them they were not going to have it all their own way . ` It helped us . We went in at half-time 0-0 and in the second half , anything can happen . There were a few tired legs , and they had some good chances as well - not perfect chances , but they had a couple of half-chances and then at the end , we probably could have nicked it as well . ` At the beginning of the game , you would have said it would have been a great point earned , but we battled all the way through and then we had a couple of half-chances at the end . Frank Lampard celebrates Manchester City 's second at Southampton during the 3-0 win on the south coast . Lee Cattermole robs Eden Hazard of possession during the 0-0 draw against Chelsea on Saturday . ` We are happy with the result . We maybe could have nicked it , but it was a good Chelsea team and we put everything in and managed to stop them scoring and get the draw . ' That draw means Sunderland are now unbeaten in four games since their season took an alarming dip with an 8-0 defeat at Southampton and Arsenal 's 2-0 victory on Wearside , although Brown insists engineering the transformation has not been complicated . He said : ` If anything , it 's just back to basics , doing everything right , not necessarily making it difficult for ourselves , playing simple football , but in a quick way and defending how we know we can defend , where we make it very difficult for teams to score . '

Chelsea were held to a 0-0 draw by a determined Sunderland on Saturday . The Black Cats host Manchester City on Wednesday evening in the league . Sunderland have four consecutive 1-0 league wins against City at home . Ten-man Manchester City defeated Southampton 3-0 on Sunday .

` Good luck finding a Scot , ' smirked one of the bosses in the office when they asked me to choose the all-time greatest combined team from north and south of the border , even as the Auld Enemies gird their loins for this week 's revival of the most ancient fixture in football 's international calendar . Easier than he thinks . The assembling of a mighty composite XI ended up balancing six Englishmen with five Scots . To squeeze in the highest feasible quota of superlative skills requires the selection of a majestic back three in a 3-3-1-3 formation . The starting point , beyond argument , is the Englishman who just happens to be the world 's greatest ever goalkeeper : . GORDON BANKS - World Cup winner in 1966 , immortalised by that flying save from Pele 's leaping header , stands imposingly at the base of this awe-inspiring team . ALAN HANSEN - one of football 's most cultured centre backs , in his golden years at Liverpool the most decorated of all Scots in the old First Division/Premier League . Gordon Banks won the World Cup for England and makes the No 1 spot and Alan Hansen earns his spot . BILLY McNEILL -- the colossus at centre half for Celtic , who he captained to Britain 's first winning of the European Cup . BOBBY MOORE -- one of the two greatest defenders of all time , in company with Franz Beckenbauer . The only England captain to raise the World Cup aloft , his statue still guards the gates to Wembley . Scotland 's Billy McNeill -LRB- left -RRB- and England 's soon-to-be World Cup-winning captain Bobby Moore lead their sides out for a friendly at Wembley in 1965 . GRAEME SOUNESS -- tackled like a vice , passed like a laser , scored when it mattered , one of the great all-time , all-round , most-feared midfield men . BRYAN ROBSON -- as Captain Marvel for Manchester United and England , embodied all the Souness attributes and was the bravest of never-say-die competitors . Graeme Souness was a tough tackling midfielder for Scotland and here stands over Mark Hateley in 1985 . Bryan Robson was England 's Captain Marvel , winning 90 caps for his country . BOBBY CHARLTON -- not only the most creative of all English midfield players but also the scorer of stupendous goals , 49 of which still keep him in possession of the England record -- after 44 years . PAUL GASCOIGNE -- self-destructed before completely fulfilling his phenomenal potential but this maverick remains one of England 's most naturally gifted prodigies . Bobby Charlton -LRB- right -RRB- , shooting against the Scots in 1965 , still holds the England goalscoring record with 49 . Paul Gascoigne broke Scottish hearts with this stupendous volley for England at Euro 96 . TOM FINNEY -- still the greatest of all English footballers , as deadly at centre forward as he was unplayable on the wing , quite simply a genius . DENIS LAW -- scorer of 237 goals for Manchester United and 30 in 55 games for Scotland , the archetypal poacher-striker , widely held to be his country 's second best player ever and their only winner of the Ballon d'Or . Tom Finney heads the ball towards goal in a game against Scotland at Wembley in 1953 . Denis Law celebrates scoring for Scotland against England in 1968 . KENNY DALGLISH -- The Greatest Scot , maker and taker of wondrous goals , both conductor and virtuoso of the team , football 's Albert Einstein . Subs : John Greig , Jim Baxter , Kevin Keegan , Stanley Matthews , Jimmy Greaves . Apologies -- to countless others who have made our game so beautiful . Kenny Dalglish , beating Colin Bell in the air in 1973 , is the best player to have pulled on a Scotland shirt .

England 's World Cup winners Gordon Banks , Bobby Moore and Bobby Charlton make the team . Celtic 's European Cup winning captain Billy McNeill plays at the back . Denis Law , Kenny Dalglish and Tom Finney lead the attack .

While many believed that this season 's title race was turning in to a procession for Jose Mourinho 's unbeaten Chelsea , Manchester City 's recent resurgence has set up an enthralling fight to the finish . Chelsea 's 3-0 victory over Tottenham meant the Blues maintained a six-point lead at the top of the table but free-scoring performances against Southampton and Sunderland have seen Manuel Pellegrini 's City stake their intentions . Sportsmail columnists Jamie Redknapp and Martin Keown assess the merits of both sides battling to be crowned champions ... Chelsea stars celebrate during the 3-0 win against Spurs , which saw their unbeaten run stretch to 21 games . Manuel Pellegrini -LRB- left -RRB- and Jose Mourinho are involved in a two-way Premier League title fight . Manchester City 's recent resurgence has seen the reigning champions close the gap to six points . KEOWN ON THE DEFENSIVE UNITS . Thibaut Courtois ' mistakes are minimal and it never seems to be his fault when Chelsea concede -- I 'm not sure you can say the same about Joe Hart . Terry and Cahill are formidable and Ivanovic and Azpilicueta solid . Kompany is terrific but , Zabaleta apart , the rest are inconsistent . But the key is the work done in front of them . Chelsea 's pressing and the screen Matic provides means it 's almost impossible to isolate their defenders . City on the other hand are too often left exposed . CHELSEA 8/10 MAN CITY 7/10 . Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois -LRB- above -RRB- is rarely at fault if Chelsea concede a goal , unlike Joe Hart . Manchester City concede an early goal by Connor Wickham during their 4-1 defeat of Sunderland . Serbian midfielder Nemanja Matic -LRB- left -RRB- provides a defensive shield in front of Chelsea 's back four . REDKNAPP ON THE MIDFIELD BATTLE . When everybody is fit , there is very little to choose between these two midfields . Signing Fabregas was a statement of intent and he has given Chelsea subtlety and class . They have lost Lampard 's goals but Fabregas ' assists make up for it . Hazard could get into any team in the world and Matic is a perfect shield . City have struggled to find that balance but injuries have disrupted them . People called Yaya Toure useless and unfit , but he scores a few and all of a sudden he 's purring and David Silva , when he 's fit , is a genius . CHELSEA 9/10 CITY 9/10 . City midfielder Yaya Toure is starting to find his form from last season at precisely the right time . Cesc Fabregas has been an inspired signing and leads the way with 10 Premier League assists this season . Manchester City have missed the mercurial talents of David Silva -LRB- second right -RRB- while he has been out injured . REDKNAPP ON THE ATTACKING POWER . I said a few weeks ago the title race could be a shootout between Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa . Nothing has changed ! Costa has adapted so quickly and he plays on the edge , but I like that . Didier Drogba is useful as Jose 's eyes in the dressing room and Loic Remy provides good back-up . Aguero is on fire and now he 's staying fit his scoring rate is incredible . Edin Dzeko is hit-and-miss and Stevan Jovetic has chipped in , but Aguero has carried City at times . A front two of Costa and Aguero would be the perfect partnership , but Aguero 's goals give City the slightest edge . CHELSEA 9/10 CITY 9.5 / 10 . TOTAL : CHELSEA 26 CITY 25.5 . Diego Costa has given Chelsea the potent striker they have been searching for with 11 goals from 11 games . A partnership between Costa -LRB- left -RRB- and Aguero would be one of the most feared in world football . Aguero -LRB- left -RRB- has been making the difference for City and tops the scoring charts with 14 goals so far . Veteran striker Didier Drogba turned back the clock to score against Tottenham in midweek .

Premier League leaders Chelsea have gone 21 games unbeaten this term . Reigning champions Manchester City are six points behind in title race . Nemanja Matic gives the Blues the edge in terms of their defensive unit . Cesc Fabregas has 10 league assists while Yaya Toure is returning to form . Sergio Aguero -LRB- 14 -RRB- and Diego Costa -LRB- 11 -RRB- lead the way in the scoring charts .

To the cheers of her family and the ka-thunk of her 77-year-old car , a 91-year-old Northern California woman recently made good on a bucket-list wish to once again steer the 1937 Ford coupe she learned to drive in . Clara Mae Blasingame , a long-retired schoolteacher , had repeatedly expressed nostalgia for the black Ford she had inherited from her father , Blasingame 's two sons , Ron and Ken Blasingame , told the Santa Rosa Press Democrat . ` She wanted to drive it once again before she went home , ' Ken Blasingame told the newspaper . Scroll down for video . Bucket list wish : Clara Mae Blasingame , a 91-year-old Northern California woman , recently drove the 1937 Ford coupe she learned to drive in . All smiles : Ms Blasingame could n't hide her delight as she climbed in to get behind the wheel . Getting into gear : The 91-year-old drove it for two loops in the parking lot , then stepped out of the car to the shouts of her family . Clara Mae Blasingame had learned to drive in the car in Knoxville , Tennessee , when it was brand new and she was 13 . She drove it much of her life before the engine gave out around 25 years ago .

Blasingame 's sons tweaked the engine - a replacement transplanted decades ago from a Ford Mustang - enough to get the car running again , barely . Late last month , Blasingame 's family told her they were taking her out for a family trip , and instead pulled into a large public parking lot in Santa Rosa . The '37 coupe was waiting there . Vroom vroom : A stock image of a 1937 Ford coupe similar to the one Blasingame inherited from her father . ` Oh , that 's the Ford ! That 's the Ford ! ' she cried out . Her grandson , Malik Blasingame , 15 , got in the front passenger seat , riding shotgun as his grandmother took the steering wheel . ' I do n't know if I can drive or not , ' she said . After a couple of tries at the ignition , the engine started . The 91-year-old drove it for two loops in the parking lot , then stepped out of the car to the shouts of her family .

John McEnroe fanned suggestions that a late-night rumpus with Stan Wawrinka may have contributed to Roger Federer 's late withdrawal from the Barclays ATP World Finals on Sunday night . The world No 2 disappointed more than 17,000 fans at the O2 Arena by pulling out of the final against Novak Djokovic , citing a back injury sustained in his evening semi-final against Wawrinka . But McEnroe also said a post-match spat between the two players , stemming from something Wawrinka said to his opponent 's support bench , would not have helped matters . According to courtside photographers his words were directed either at Federer 's wife Mirka , his father Robbie , or perhaps both . Roger Federer and Stan Wawrinka -LRB- right -RRB- argued during and after their semi-final match on Saturday . A weary Federer is congratulated by compatriot Wawrinka on Saturday but they argued later on . French TV reported that it had picked up Wawrinka saying : ` She did the same thing at Wimbledon . ' McEnroe told viewers on ESPN : ` Afterwards something went on in the locker room , there was a long talk between the players that went on well into the night and the stress of that - I ca n't confirm all of this - I do n't think that helped the situation . ' When asked about what happened during the apparent altercation in an unusually feisty third set , Wawrinka replied : ` Not much , nothing special . Tense match , it 's never easy . ' Roger Federer takes to the court to explain why he could n't take on Novak Djokovic in the O2 final . ATP executive chairman and president Chris Kermode -LRB- right -RRB- with Federer as the bad news was delivered . Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was part of the crowd at the -RRB- 2 Arena on Sunday . Federer declined to speak to the media on Sunday night after his withdrawal , but apologised to the crowd in person . On Monday Federer and Wawrinka are due to travel to Lille where , starting on Friday , they will make up the Switzerland team that tackles France in the Davis Cup . That is the only major prize in tennis that the Swiss master has not won , and that will incentivise him to quickly smooth things over with his compatriot . Wawrinka 's team were eager to write the tiff off as just one of those things that happen in the heat of battle , while sources in the Federer camp were emphasising that he pulled out of Sunday 's final purely due to the parlous state of his back . Federer looks at his shoes as Wawrinka -LRB- right -RRB- walks past and off the court on Saturday night . It can only be speculation how much the stress of Saturday 's unexpectedly fractious semi-final contributed to the situation . He and the famously genial Wawrinka have always got on well , although the dynamic in their relationship has changed somewhat this year through the latter 's surge into the elite . He even rated at Swiss No 1 for a time this year before Federer 's excellent run of results . The 17-time Grand Slam winner told the O2 crowd that something pulled in his back during the decisive tiebreak . ` I have tried treatment on it , medication , tried to turn it round as quickly as possible but I did n't really feel that much of an improvement , ' said Federer , who does not know how it will affect his chances next weekend . ` I ca n't compete at this level with Novak , it would be too risky at my age to do this right now . ' It was typical Federer class to front up before the disappointed crowd , and in his whole career it is only the third time he has pulled out of a match . Novak Djokovic holds his Tour Finals trophy after a presentation before his exhibition match . VIDEO Djokovic surprised by Federer withdrawal to hand him title . He only gave up the struggle an hour before the final , and by then Chris Kermode , the ATP 's executive chairman , had gone into crisis management mode . He called Andy Murray at his Surrey home at 2pm to ask him to play a replacement exhibition singles against Djokovic , and a lighthearted doubles with Tim Henman , John McEnroe and Pat Cash . ` He instantly offered to help , he did n't ask for a fee and was n't offered one , ' revealed Kermode , adding that the others had also volunteered to entertain the crowd , which included the likes of Jose Mourinho and Hugh Grant , for free . Given that the doubles final -LRB- won by the Bryan brothers -RRB- took place along with the exhibitions , Kermode said there would be a partial refund and priority booking next year for ticket holders , who had paid up to # 110 for their seats . As this event makes around # 10million profit , it is only right . Federer won a taxing semi-final against Stan Wawrinka in a tie-break after two hours and 48 minutes . Overall a good job was done in managing Federer 's non-appearance , although Murray , who lost 6-0 , 6-1 to the Swiss earlier in the week , could see the funny side . ` I have to apologise because clearly I pushed Roger so hard on Thursday , ' the Scot quipped . However , questions might again be asked about how fair it is for one semi-final to be played on Saturday afternoon and another on Saturday night , which happens at many ATP events . It all capped what has been an unfortunate week , which saw so many one-sided matches - not a vintage year . At the end of it all Djokovic was left champion for the third year running , and is very much the man to beat next season . US duo Bob and Mike Bryan celebrate a point on their way to victory in the doubles final at the O2 .

Roger Federer pulled out of Barclays ATP World Finals on Sunday night . Swiss star said his back injury had been inflamed by long semi-final . But Federer and Stan Wawrinka argued during and after match . John McEnroe believes the spat may have contributed to withdrawal . Federer and Wawrinka are due to play in Davis Cup final next weekend .

Sir John Armitt argued power blackouts are the ` best possible ' thing for the country . One of Ed Miliband 's most senior advisers sparked fury yesterday by saying that power blackouts would be good for the country . Sir John Armitt argued that the blackouts would be the ` best possible thing ' because they would bring home the scale of the energy crisis facing the country . Sir John 's inflammatory remarks -- which coincided with forecasts of the first Arctic blast of the winter -- revived the fierce debate over energy prices and supplies which was triggered by Mr Miliband 's party conference pledge in October to freeze gas and electricity bills . The Conservatives immediately lept on Sir John 's comments , claiming that blackouts would be an indictment of Mr Miliband 's failure to plan for the future when he was Energy Secretary . Sir John , who is advising Labour on the future of the country 's long-term infrastructure needs , said : ` In harsh political terms -LSB- blackouts -RSB- would be the best possible thing because this country is extremely good in a crisis . ' In the interview with construction industry magazine Building , he added that the UK was nearing the crisis because too little was being done to replace ageing coal-fired and nuclear power stations . He said : ` We are down to -LRB- just a -RRB- 4 per cent -LRB- surplus of energy capacity -RRB- because we 've gone slower than we should have done on nuclear . ' His remarks are particularly controversial because of the continuing fury within the energy industry over Mr Miliband 's plans for an energy price freeze . Energy bosses said that his move would threaten the security of supply and mean ` the lights would go out ' . The comments have revived the debate surrounding Labour party leader Ed Miliband 's promise to freeze gas and electricity bills . Tory MP Charlie Elphicke said : ` Labour had 13 years to take the long-term decisions to meet Britain 's energy needs , including when Ed Miliband was Energy Secretary , but failed to do so . ` Instead they took short-term decisions . And now Labour 's key economic adviser thinks it would be a good thing for families , vulnerable older people , and even hospitals treating patients to suffer power cuts . ' Last night , Energy Minister Greg Barker said : ` This is utter madness , but if Sir John thinks power cuts will be a good thing for Britain then he is certainly working for the right man -- because Ed Miliband would deliver them . '

Senior adviser said blackouts would bring home scale of energy crisis . Sir John Armitt argued power cuts would be ` best possible thing ' Comments come as first Arctic blast of winter is predicted .

An Illinois auction house says it is selling the revolver that almost killed former Alabama Governor George Wallace . Rock Island Auction Company specializes in rare firearms . It listed the revolver for sale on Friday . Company vice president Judy Voss says it 's the same gun used to shoot Wallace during a 1972 assassination attempt . Voss says the serial number on the gun matches that listed on police reports . Voss says a date etched in to the gun also matches law enforcement records . Governor George Wallace blocks the entrance to the University of Alabama as he turned back a federal officer attempting to enroll two black students at the university campus in Tuscaloosa , Alabama in 1963 . The gun that almost killed former Alabama Gov. George Wallace in an assassination attempt in 1972 , is being sold by an Illinois auction house . In this June 11 , 1963 photo , Vivian Malone and James Hood stand in the doorway of Foster Auditorium where they hold what they called their ` first and final news conference ' after the two African-American students registered at the University of Alabama . Arthur Bremer shot Wallace during a Maryland stop as the governor campaigned for president . It left Wallace paralyzed from the waist down . The auction company gave a presale estimated value of between $ 15,000 and $ 30,000 . Voss did not say who was selling the gun . Nine years before his assassination , one of the most iconic moments in the history of America 's civil rights movement took place with the infamous ` stand in the schoolhouse door ' . It was on June 11 , 1963 , when then governor George Wallace tried to stop two black students from registering for classes at the University of Alabama . Governor George Wallace , right , attempted to prevent James Hood and Vivian Malone from registering for classes at the university in 1963 . President John F Kennedy , who ordered Wallace to stand aside , delivers a speech at a rally in Fort Worth , Texas , several hours before his assassination in 1963 . Alabama Governor George C. Wallace and his wife Cornelia . The Governor was paralyzed from the waist down by one one of four gunshot wounds he suffered while campaigning at a shopping center in Maryland . He stood in the door at the university 's Foster Auditorium and , in defiance of federal law , refused Vivian Malone and James Hood entry . When federal marshals intervened , he stood firm and delivered an impassioned speech against desegregation . Wallace eventually relented when a U.S. general acting under orders issued by President John F Kennedy demanded he make way . Malone and Hood then entered . The incident brought Wallace into the national spotlight and led to the desegregation of the university as Malone and Hood made history by becoming the first black students to enroll . James Hood pictured going to class and outside his dormitory at the University of Alabama in 1963 . Historic site : The Foster Auditorium on the campus of the University of Alabama . Wallace , shown here at the age of 67 in 1987 served four terms as Governor . The wheelchair bound Wallace who ran for president four times and stood in the schoolhouse door to block integration said he was concerned with how history will treat him . Former four-term Alabama Governor George Wallace in an emotional moment in 1994 as he hugged friend Connie Harper at a celebration of Wallace 's 75th birthday . Wallace 's daughter , Peggy Wallace Kennedy , said her family has lived in the shadow of the schoolhouse door ever since . George Wallace 's symbolic attempt to stop black students enrolling followed his inaugural promise of ` segregation now , segregation tomorrow , segregation forever ' and stop the desegregation of schools . Eleven years earlier , the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its landmark decision in Brown Vs Board of Education of Topeka , Kansas , in which it was argued the education of black children separate from white children was unconstitutional . The Brown case meant the University of Alabama had to be desegregated . But in the years that followed hundreds of African-Americans applied for admission , but all were denied . The university worked with police to find any disqualify them , or when this failed , intimidated the applicants . But in 1963 , three African-Americans with perfect qualifications - Vivian Malone Jones , Dave McGlathery and James Hood - applied , and refused to be intimidated . In early June a federal district judge ordered that they be admitted , and forbade Governor Wallace from interfering . Then on June 11 , Malone and Hood arrived to register , with Wallace attempting to uphold his promise . Federal marshals told Wallace to step aside but Wallace cut Katzenbach off and refused , giving a speech on States ' rights . It took General Henry Graham to command Wallace to step aside , saying : ` Sir , it is my sad duty to ask you to step aside under the orders of the President of the United States . ' Wallace , who survived an assassination attempt that left him in a wheelchair , died in 1998 having renounced segregationism .

Gun 's serial number was checked with the police records and it was confirmed to be the same weapon used in the attempted killing of Wallace . Wallace was running for president at the time of the shooting in 1972 . Arthur Bremer shot Wallace during a campaign stop for the Democratic nomination for president in Maryland , which Wallace later lost to George McGovern . Wallace remained paralyzed from the waist down and it led to the jailing of Bremer , who was released in 2007 , after serving 35 years . Wallace was known for his Southern populist and segregationist attitudes during the African-American civil rights movement . He eventually renounced segregationism .

Click here for more stats and heat maps from Sportsmail 's fantastic Match Zone service . Well , the atmosphere was certainly better , although the performance took a while to warm-up . And this time Jose Mourinho took out his frustration on his players rather than the Chelsea supporters as he fumed on the touchline . Mourinho criticised his players after hauling off Andre Schurrle and Willian at half-time and Filipe Luis once Maribor , a team thumped 6-0 at Stamford Bridge last month , had taken the lead with a brilliant goal . Diego Costa , Oscar and Ramires - who he had hoped to keep fresh for Saturday 's game at Liverpool - were scrambled as was an unusual three-at-the-back system in a bid to rescue pride . Eden Hazard missed the chance to win the match for Chelsea against Maribor late on when his penalty was saved . Hazard -LRB- right -RRB- saw his low penalty saved by Maribor goalkeeper Jasmin Handanovic in the closing stages of the match .

They emerged with a point after an equaliser by Nemanja Matic and they would have taken all three had Eden Hazard not missed a penalty , five minutes from time . Mourinho praised Maribor and grumbled about the Italian officials who ruled a late goal by Costa to be offside and only added two minutes of stoppage time at the end , when he clearly thought he should have been be more . Generally , the he cut a disgruntled figure and his mood was not enhanced when the travelling fans , offended by his remarks that the Bridge had been like an 'em pty stadium ' during last Saturday 's win against QPR , started to tease him . ` Cheer up Mourinho , ' they sang , in the first half , and then : ` Jose Give us a Song ' . They left him alone once it was clear the manager was not amused . When asked to comment on the songs , he shook his head and said : ` Forget it ' . At the end of the game , he congratulated Maribor boss Ante Sumundza and then stalked straight down the tunnel as John Terry led the players to salute the 600 Chelsea supporters who made the trip . At half-time , Mourinho had made the same purposeful march across the pitch and into the dressing rooms , staring at the floor with clipboard tucked under his arm like a man about to deliver a few home truths . One of his backroom staff emerged moments later , sent to retrieve the electronic board used by the fourth officials to indicate substitutions . ` In the first half we were not good , ' said Mourinho . ` Very slow ; no intensity , no creativity . It was easy for Maribor to control the game and reach what they wanted to reach , a 0-0 . ' I tried to improve my team . When you try to improve your team , sometimes it 's for tactical reasons . Other times it 's for individual performances . I think I was successful with the changes I did . ` In the second half the team were much better than in the first half . I thought we played magnificently : creative , fast , good dynamic , a lot of chances to score . Only when Maribor scored did the players realise the game was in danger . After that , a fantastic reaction . ` We deserved to win , clearly.We did n't reach the number of goals that we should have in the second half , but the team played well . And we scored a great second goal . ' Nemanja Matic -LRB- right -RRB- goes up for a header against Marco Morales Tavares -LRB- centre -RRB- during Wednesday 's clash .

No English side won a single group match this week , the first time that happened since November 5 , 2008 . The ` second goal ' was a reference to the disallowed goal prodded in by Costa moments before Hazard 's 85th-minute penalty miss . It looked very tight , perhaps marginally onside , and he did not miss the chance to take a swipe at referee Daniele Orsato . They have history stretching back to Mourinho 's time with Inter Milan . ` We scored two goals , two very good goals , ' said the Chelsea boss . ` The second goal , the referee decided to disallow but it 's a clear goal . Normally we should win because we scored two goals . But we have to accept it and to praise a fantastic stadium with lots of enthusiasm . ` For the people , it was a fantastic night , and Maribor gave everything . They fought . They had a fantastic goalkeeper . And the referee 's team did n't have a good night .

Perhaps it had all felt a little too comfortable because , after scoring six against the Slovenians in London . The Barclays Premier League leaders started well , creating chances and missing them until Kurt Zouma was forced to clear off the goal-line from Sintayehu Sallalich . Confidence washed through the home team and they passed the ball with more assurance . Sallalich caused problems with his pace and trickery and Agim Ibraimi 's goal was a delicious piece of skill , curled into the top corner with his left foot from wide on the Maribor right past Petr Cech . It was the first time Chelsea had been behind since September 13 against Swansea . Mourinho made his third substitution and switched to a three-man defence , with Hazard at wing-back . Maribor ought to have doubled the lead when Mitja Viler 's cross from the left found Luka Zahovic at the far post . The teenager only had to tap it in , but somehow lifted it over the goal . Here was an escape for Chelsea , and they took advantage by summoning a strong finish . The leveller came from Matic with 17 minutes left after Terry had headed a corner from Cesc Fabregas towards goal . Hazard came to life but could not find a finish and Costa was denied , and that goal that never was . Oscar thought he might have won a penalty and yet Maribor could have won it when Tavares fired wide after a break by Sallalich . Matic -LRB- right -RRB- tapped home from close range in the 73rd minute to cancel out Maribor 's opener .

Amid the chaotic closing spell , Hazard was tripped by Viler , climbed to his feet and saw his spot-kick saved by Jasmin Handanovic . It summed the night up . Maribor clung on and the home crowd could barely contain their joy , chanting , jumping , burning flares and waving their giant flags . At the end they did not want to leave . They have never seen anything like it . For Chelsea , as the dust settled , it did not seem quite so bad . They remain top of Group G , in a good position to qualify and remain unbeaten in 16 games this season in all competitions . Next in Europe , they meet Roberto di Matteo 's Schalke , but first to Anfield where the atmosphere will surely be right up Mourinho 's street .

A newborn boy blinded by a hunter 's stray bullet that shot through his living room window has returned home . Shayne Iverson from Clarksburg , Pennsylvania , spent more than two months at the Children 's Hospital of Pittsburgh and underwent numerous surgeries following the near-fatal incident . But on Wednesday , his mother Stefanie 's 31st birthday , doctors gave him the all-clear . Recovery : Shayne Iverson , who was blinded by a hunter 's stray bullet that shot through his living room window at six days old , has returned home in time for his first Christmas . His father , 42-year-old Jeremie Iverson , told the The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that the infant is doing well . He and his wife have n't been able to work since the accident happened on September 25 . They have also been fitting in hospital visits around caring for their other two children , nine-year-old son Caden and Gabi , aged two . Shayne was six days old when he was accidentally shot in the head by a deer hunter in late September . Around the clock care : The infant spent more than two months at the Children 's Hospital of Pittsburgh and underwent numerous surgeries following the near-fatal incident . Touch and go : Doctors removed a blood clot to prevent his brain from swelling and battled to save his vision . At the time his father was cuddling him on the couch at home . It was around 7pm . After he was helicoptered to hospital , doctors removed a blood clot to prevent his brain from swelling and battled to save his vision with no joy . They said Shayne likely survived the shooting because the bullet that hit his head exited through his eye socket rather than hitting his brain . Although the two-month-old no longer requires around the clock care he will need to return to hospital for future surgeries . His father , who works as a carpenter , said their home is filled with medical equipment , medications and ` boxes and boxes of medical supplies . ' The Iverson family have set up a GoFundMe page where they released a picture of baby Shayne with his big brother Caden , nine , and two-year-old sister Gabi when he was a day old . Mother Stefanie Iverson -LRB- pictured with her newborn son -RRB- said that her son Shayne 's life was spared when the bullet exited through his eye socket . Jeremie Iverson and his wife Stefanie have n't been able to work since their son was accidentally shot . Indiana County District Attorney Pat Dougherty has said the hunter had an agricultural deer control permit . No charges have been filed , though investigators have continued to review whether game regulations or other laws were violated . The hunter was reportedly 300 yards from the home and using a 308 hunting rifle on private farm opposite the Iversons ' home . Almost $ 18,000 dollars has been donated by well-wishers towards the baby 's medical costs after his aunt set up a GoFundMe page . In a heartfelt note to The Ellen DeGeneres Show announcing Shayne 's return home this week , his great uncle , Jim Coughlin , thanked people for their generosity . He concluded : ` Although Shayne is no longer able to see with his eyes , he has reminded us that real sight comes from the heart . '

Shayne Iverson was just six days old when he was hit by a stray bullet while in his father 's arms at his Pennsylvania home . The hunter had an agricultural deer control permit when he fired the shot that wounded the boy about 7pm on September 25 . No charges have been filed .

Manchester United are ready to spend another # 150million next summer to complete the Gaal-actico revolution at Old Trafford . United are convinced they are heading in the right direction under Louis van Gaal and want to copy the Real Madrid blueprint by having an elite player in every position . After backing the Dutchman by making six signings last summer -- including smashing the British transfer record to sign Angel di Maria for # 59.7 m -- the club are preparing for another massive investment , with senior sources insisting that the rebuilding has only just begun . Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal , waving to the crowd , looks set to continue an overhaul of his squad . Bayern Munich and Holland star Arjen Robben is a potential target of Van Gaal 's at Old Trafford . United have spent # 215m on players since September 2013 in a bid to reverse the alarming decline of the past 18 months , and another spree on the scale of last summer would take their investment beyond # 350m . Van Gaal has made centre back , right back and winger his main target areas . United have not ruled out making signings in the January transfer window -- as was the case with Juan Mata 's # 37.1 m arrival from Chelsea at the start of this year -- but suspect they will have to wait until the summer to find the right players . The list includes Barcelona right back Dani Alves , Bayern Munich winger Arjen Robben , central defenders Mats Hummels of Borussia Dortmund and Diego Godin of Atletico Madrid , and Roma defensive midfielder Kevin Strootman . Roma 's Kevin Strootman -LRB- left -RRB- and Barcelona 's Dani Alves could be set for moves to Man United . Kevin Strootman -LRB- Roma -RRB- - Likely fee : # 30m . The Roma midfielder , 24 , might have been a United player already had he not suffered a knee injury in March and the club have retained a strong interest . Diego Godin -LRB- Atletico Madrid -RRB- - Likely fee : # 28.5 m . The experienced Atletico Madrid centre back , 28 , is on United 's list of targets but they would have to trigger the # 28.5 m release clause in his contract . Dani Alves -LRB- Barcelona -RRB- - Likely fee : Free . United want elite players and signing the 31-year-old Brazil right back , out of contract at Barca next summer , would be a coup . Mats Hummels -LRB- Borussia Dortmund -RRB- - Likely fee : # 32m . United 's inquiry for the Germany centre-back , 25 , was rebuffed last summer but the Old Trafford paymasters are ready to try again . Arjen Robben -LRB- Bayern Munich -RRB- - Likely fee : # 20m . Van Gaal has made little secret of his desire to be reunited with the Bayern Munich winger , 30 , a key member of his Holland squad at the World Cup . As Borussia Dortmund struggle at the bottom of Bundesliga , Mats Hummels could seek a transfer . Atletico Madrid centre back Diego Godin has been highlighted as a transfer target at OId Trafford . United also have a big decision to make over striker Radamel Falcao , who will cost a further # 46m on top of his # 6m loan fee if his move from Monaco is made permanent . The Colombia striker has struggled with injury so far , scoring just once . A fresh influx of signings will be followed by another major clear-out after 20 players were cut from the first-team squad last summer . Reserve goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard could be the first to go in January , paving the way for United to offer a contract to former Barcelona No 1 Victor Valdes who has been training at Carrington as he recuperates from a serious knee-ligament injury . United have decided to keep Anderson until the end of his contract in the summer rather than give him a # 1.4 m pay-off next month , but a number of Brazilian clubs are interested in taking the midfielder back to his homeland and Old Trafford sources are optimistic a buyer can be found . Striker Radamel Falcao needs to prove his fitness in order to force a permanent move to Manchester United . Mexican Javier Hernandez celebrates scoring for Real Madrid , where he is on loan this season . Robin van Persie , who has one year left on his contract , has only scored four goals for United this season . Nani has been in impressive form on loan at Sporting Lisbon but United are unlikely to recall the Portugal winger and will look to sell to any club prepared to take on his wages of # 120,000 a week . Javier Hernandez , Tom Cleverley , Wilfried Zaha and Nick Powell are also out on loan and unlikely to return . Darren Fletcher is out of contract at the end of the season , while Robin van Persie , Ashley Young , Phil Jones , Chris Smalling and Rafael will have one year left on their deals . It means that up to 10 players could leave Old Trafford in addition to last summer 's exodus . That represents a massive turnover for a club that grew accustomed to stability under Sir Alex Ferguson . Chris Smalling -LRB- top -RRB- could be one of 10 Manchester United players to leave the club in January or the summer . Juan Mata , who has recently regained his top form , was a January window signing from Chelsea this year . However , United are satisfied with the way Van Gaal has overhauled the squad and remain confident they can return to the European elite with the right investment and approach . Despite a poor start , the new manager has taken his team into fourth place in the Premier League table after signing Di Maria , Falcao , Ander Herrera , Daley Blind , Marcos Rojo and Luke Shaw in the summer . Two players United do want to keep are goalkeeper David de Gea and Michael Carrick . De Gea has matured into one of the best goalkeepers in Europe since joining United in the summer of 2011 but the Spaniard will be out of contract in 18 months time . Goalkeeper David de Gea has been in inspirational form Manchester United so far this season . That has alerted Real Madrid but a United source insisted they are ` completely relaxed ' over De Gea 's situation , even though negotiations with his representatives have yet to begin in earnest . The club also have an option to extend Carrick 's contract by a further 12 months and seem likely to do so following the veteran midfielder 's return from ankle surgery . Meanwhile , United have yet to decide whether to arrange a prestige friendly abroad or a warm-weather training trip to the Middle East in January and will leave the final decision to Van Gaal .

Louis van Gaal set to add key players to his Manchester United side . Arjen Robben , Dani Alves and Kevin Strootman on the wishlist . Diego Godin and Mats Hummels are also linked with a move to Old Trafford . Manchester United have spent # 215m on players since September 2013 . Up to 10 first-team players could leave in January or in the summer .

The official portrait of former California Govenor Arnold Schwarzenegger was hung Friday alongside past governors at the state Capitol after getting a touch-up on the spot where his wife 's image was removed . Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein smoothed out a smudge that once featured a lapel button showing the face of wife Maria Shriver , Capitol curator Koren Benoit said . That part had been noticeably painted over when the portrait was unveiled in September . Capitol Curator Koren Benoit , center , helps Greg Scarlato , left , and Blake Robison of the Department of General Services , straighten the portrait of former Govenor Arnold Schwarzenegger . The two separated after revelations emerged about an affair Schwarzenegger had with his maid that produced a son . It 's not clear who removed the Shriver image in the first place . ` The original artist fixed it , ' Benoit said . The painting of the two-term Republican governor was hung on the third floor of the Capitol next to his predecessor , Democratic Gov. Gray Davis . Schwarzenegger was elected governor in the same special election in 2003 in which Davis was recalled . Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein smoothed out a smudge that once featured a lapel button showing the face of wife Maria Shriver , which had been noticeably painted over when the portrait was unveiled in September . Ex : Months after Schwarzenegger left office , embarrassing revelations emerged about an affair he had with his maid that resulted in a son born out of wedlock - The disclosure devastated his marriage to Maria Shriver . New addition : The picture now hangs on the third floor of the Capitol in Sacramento , California . The realist-style portrait features a steel frame and captures a youthful Schwarzenegger standing in front of the state seal . Benoit said there 's some concern about people touching the portrait because of its photograph-like feel . Portraits are deliberately raised high on the wall because some have been damaged in the past with squirted ketchup or key scratches . Alison Parks , a tour guide with the state Department of Parks and Recreation , stopped with a group of children in front of the portrait minutes after it went up . On show : The realist-style portrait features a steel frame and captures a youthful Schwarzenegger standing in front of the state seal . Hands off : There 's some concern about people touching the portrait because of its photograph-like feel . ` The cool thing about this painting is that we 've been waiting for it for a long time , and it 's finally up on the wall , ' Parks said . ` And it does n't have a name yet , a plaque , but can anyone raise their hands and tell me who this is ? ' Several hands shot up , and the children said , ` Arnold Schwarzenegger . '' ` Of course a lot of them recognize him not because he was the governor but because of the movies , ' said Katie Hagen , a parent who was accompanying another group of fifth-grade students on a Capitol tour . ' I think it 's fitting for his personality . '

This is the moment a pensioner had to be rescued after ` deliberately ' driving into the sea in front of tourists at millionaires ' resort Sandbanks . The woman sat motionlessly as the water poured into her Volkswagen Golf off the Dorset coast today . Witnesses described how she wound down both front windows of her car before speeding down a ferry slipway and into the water at around midday . The silver car was swept 100 yards out to sea by the fast tide the unnamed woman refused to move despite cries from the quayside to get out as it went down . Scroll down for video . Rescue : This is the moment a woman had to be rescued after apparently driving deliberately into the sea off Sandbanks . Submerged : The VW sank yards from the home of Premier League football manager Harry Redknapp on the Sandbanks peninsula . Rescue : The woman is led away to safety by RNLI and emergency workers after she was freed from the sinking car . Drama : The woman 's car had to be dragged from the water shortly after she herself was pulled from the car . Lucky to be alive : The unnamed woman was rescued by fishermen who jumped into the sea and dragged her out . But the crew of a passing fishing boat then dived into the water and pulled the woman free just moments before her vehicle sank . The soaked casualty was lifted on board next to the Sandbanks to Studland chain ferry - which sits yards from the home of Premier League football manager Harry Redknapp . After being pulled to safety her rescuers went back to the sinking vehicle to retrieve the woman 's handbag . Witness Steve Chater-Lea , 45 , said the woman drove past a queue of cars waiting for the ferry before heading down the slope at speed . He said : ` She drove past the ferry queue and accelerated down the ramp . It was definitely deliberate , you could tell from the way she revved the engine and the force with which she hit she the water . ` Both her windows were down and you could see her just sat there oblivious to people shouting out to her to get out . She made no movement or attempt to leave the car . ` There were 20 or 30 people stood on the quay about 15 feet away shouting for her to get out . ` There was a strong outgoing tide and the car went about 100 yards towards the sea , getting lower and lower in the water . ' A fishing boat came alongside the car but she still would n't get out and one of the crew dived in and pulled her out of the passenger side . ` She was alive and taken to the jetty for the Brownsea Island ferry and into an ambulance . ' Shock : Witnesses described how the motorists sped down this ferry ramp and crashed into the water . Fear : This picture was taken shortly after the car went into the sea and quickly it was swept 100 yards out . Witnesses : People on the busy ferry crossing the estuary also captured the moment the boat began to sink . Brave : Workers on a passing fishing vessel saw the woman and dived in to save her from the deep water . This barge with a lifting crane on arrived on the scene about an hour later and hoisted the sunken vehicle out of the water . Damage : The car 's bumper and windscreen were both smashed in the impact with the water . Holidaymaker Bob Smallman said : ' I saw the car in the water and we were all screaming for her to get out but she was just holding on to the steering wheel . ' A fishing boat went round to get her out but she did n't want to go , she looked frightened . They were dragging her in the water for a bit . ` They managed to get her out before the car went completely underwater . ` An inflatable boat that took her to safety then went back to the car and rescued her handbag before it sunk . She must have told them about her bag and been adamant they needed to get it . ' Witness Ash Naik said ' I was on the phone talking to my friend ad just said ' I have to go ' . ' I saw her flying down the ferry jetty really fast . She jumped the queue of traffic and just shot off the end . She was going so fast one of her wipers came off . ` The car windows were open and the car started to sink when it hit the water but she just sat there and did n't move . ` Someone threw a life-ring in the water but she did n't try to get it . One guy jumped in but she was clung onto the door . They pulled her into the boat . ' The woman was taken to hospital where she was treated for shock and the effects of hyperthermia .

The car was located 30 metres offshore and collected by a local fishing vessel . A spokesman for the Bournemouth-Swanage Motor Road and Ferry Company , which operates the chain ferry , confirmed the ferry had left the Sandbanks slipway and was halfway across the entrance to Poole Harbour at the time . In 2005 , a 30-year-old woman deliberately drowned herself by driving off the same slipway into the sea . Helen Hogan lit a cigarette while she waited for her Rover 416 car to sink with her inside it .

An SUV driver who was accused of deliberately running down a Muslim teenager in a ` hate crime ' has been charged with first-degree murder . Ahmed H. Aden , 34 , of Kansas City , was charged in Jackson County in the crash that killed Abdisamad Sheikh-Hussein , 15 , outside a Somali community center . The convenience store manager was seen driving the sport utility vehicle toward the teen as the boy got into a car Thursday evening . Fatal : Ahmed H. Aden , 34 , left , was charged in the crash that killed Abdisamad Sheikh-Hussein , 15 , right , . A witness saw Hussein ` fly through the air ' as the SUV hit him then ran over him . His legs were nearly severed , and he later died in hospital from his wounds . According to the witness , Aden crashed the SUV then got out of the vehicle with a knife . Occupants of the car told officers they followed him and pointed him out to police . One witness said the suspect swung what appeared to be a baseball bat at people , and another witness reported that Aden pulled out a handgun and said to ` Stay there ' as he walked away . However , Aden initially told authorities that he had lost control of his vehicle and struck the teen because he thought he looked like a man who 'd threatened him several days earlier . FBI spokeswoman Bridget Patton said : ` Federal agents are assisting in the investigation and have opened this matter as a federal civil rights investigation as a potential hate crimes violation . ' Patton said she could not release any information on why the case could be considered a hate crime , but Muslim leaders had called for such an investigation early Friday . Scene : The crash unfolded outside the Somali Center , pictured , which the boy 's father heads . Community members said that the driver had previously pulled a gun on people there for being Muslim . Death : Teenager Abdisamad Sheikh-Hussein , who also called himself ` Adam ' is seen here in Facebook photos . In the weeks before the crash , worshipers said they saw a black SUV painted with threatening messages at the center and cruising around a nearby shopping area . Mohamed Ahmed , 13 , of Kansas City said : ` One of the messages was ` Islam Is Worse Than Ebola . ' ' I would have thought the police would have taken care of it , but they did n't , ' he said . But there was no mention of those incidents in court records and police did n't immediately comment on whether they 're connected to the teen 's death . Prayer : Men gather to pray the day after 15-year-old Abdisamad Sheikh-Hussein was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver in front of the Somali Center of Kansas City , Mo. , Friday , Dec. 5 , 2014 . Mohamed Farah , 50 , a friend of the boy 's family , said he called police more than once in October about a suspicious man who was coming around the center . ' I feel like I lost a part of my body , ' he said after the teen 's death . Bakar Abdalla , 31 , of Kansas City , said the boy 's father was a teacher at the center . He said the man who had been frequenting the area with hateful messages was like a bullet in a gun waiting to be triggered . Khadra Dirir , the victim 's aunt , said her nephew regularly studied the Quran and had delivered a group prayer the night he died . ` If you asked him a verse , he could tell the chapter , ' she said . ' I feel like I woke up in a bad dream . '

A # 15 million British military base will be established in Bahrain marking Britain 's clear commitment to a ` sustained presence east of Suez ' , the Foreign Secretary has said . Philip Hammond told a security summit that bolstering the Royal Navy 's presence in the Gulf would allow the UK and its allies in the region to ` tackle the threats we face together ' . Britain already has four minehunters permanently based at the Mina Salman Port , but the plans will allow for an increase in the number and size of warships sent to the area . Scroll down for video . # 15million development : Britain is to establish a new military base in Bahrain in a Gulf security deal . Under the deal -- described by Chief of the Defence Staff General Sir Nicholas Houghton as ` symbolic and strategically important ' -- the port will be expanded and a forward operating base established , with Bahrain paying most of the costs . Although military chiefs are understood to have been working towards the move for around two years , the threat from Islamic State has heightened the focus on Britain 's presence in the region . ` To our partners in the Gulf my message is this : Your security concerns are our security concerns , ' Mr Hammond said in a speech in Manama , Bahrain . ` So our strategic priority for the Gulf and for the wider region is to build partnerships . Partnerships for security ; partnerships for prosperity ; partnerships for stability . ' He added : ` The expansion of our footprint that this arrangement will now allow means we will have the capability to send more and bigger ships , and to sustain them and their crews in permanent facilities . Philip Hammond said the new base would accommodate ships including Type 45 destroyers , such as the HMS Dauntless , above . ' A clear statement of our commitment to our sustained presence east of Suez . ' A reminder of our historic and close relationship with Bahrain and one example of our growing partnership with Gulf allies to tackle the threats we face together . ` And those threats have taken on a new and insidious form : in Benghazi and in Mosul , in Yemen and in Northern Nigeria , we face a common but shadowy enemy : extremists who seek to hijack Islam to impose their own perverted agenda by fear and by the sword ; who reject all norms of civilised behaviour ; who challenge all structures of established order . ' The move was described as ` symbolic ' by Chief of the Defence Staff General Sir Nicholas Houghton and reverses a 1960s ' decision to withdraw British forces stationed ` east of Suez ' . Under the deal , existing facilities at the port will be expanded and a forward operating base established , with Bahrain paying most of the # 15 million infrastructure costs . Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said : ` This will enable Britain to send more and larger ships to reinforce stability in the Gulf . ' Britain already has four minehunters naval ships permanently based at the Mina Salman Port , above . Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond -LRB- left -RRB- said the plans would help ` tackle the threats we face together ' while Defence Secretary Michael Fallon -LRB- right -RRB- said more ships will be sent to the Gulf . ` This new base is a permanent expansion of the Royal Navy 's footprint and will enable Britain to send more and larger ships to reinforce stability . We will now be based again in the Gulf for the long term . ' Mr Hammond signed the deal with Bahrain 's foreign minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed bin Mohammed Al-Khalifa . Sheikh Khalid said : ` It reaffirms our joint determination to maintain regional security and stability in the face of challenging circumstances , and gives further strength to our multifaceted partnership . ` Bahrain looks forward to the early implementation of today 's arrangement and to continuing to work with the UK and other partners to address threats to regional security . ' A string of human rights groups , including Human Rights Watch , have criticised the state 's human rights record , and anti-arms campaigners protested outside a This is Bahrain conference in Westminster earlier this year , demanding the Government and royal family sever all ties with the regime . General Houghton told BBC Radio 4 's Today programme : ` It 's the strategic importance of this . Rather than just being seen as a temporary deployment to an area for a specific operational purpose , this is more symbolic of the fact that Britain does enjoy interests in the stability of this region . The # 15million expansion of Mina Salman Port means more ships and larger ships will be sent to the Gulf .

The Strategic Defence and Security Review and a National Security Strategy are due to take place next year , and it was expected long term issues like this would be assessed and decided then . ` The Government should therefore clearly set out its reasons for making this particular decision at this time .

It is one of the key bonding experiences for a mother and child : breastfeeding . So lesbian partners Heidi and Maryellen Olson wanted to share that with their first-born Sequoia . They both nurse their one-month-old daughter . Phenomenon : Maryellen Olson , 25 , nurses her daughter Sequoia despite not giving birth . Both breastfeeding : Her wife Heidi , 26 , naturally lactates meaning they can both nurse their first-born . Dubbed ` co-nursing ' , the little-known practice requires Maryellen , who did n't give birth , to induce lactation and take a natural drug to boost breastmilk . According to the new parents , it has changed everything . ` It is so worth it for the closeness I feel with Sequoia , and also for the sanity-saving it provides both of us , ' graduate student Maryellen , 25 , told MailOnline from the family 's home in Santa Cruz , California . ` We both feel pretty amazed . ` It 's amazing to see what our bodies can do , and we felt lucky to have this additional bonding experience available for both of us . ' The couple , who married in 2012 , discovered the treatment - more common among adoptive families - in a group for lesbians trying to conceive and immediately agreed to pursue it . Maryellen followed a program named the Newman-Goldfarb protocol , which made her body simulate pregnancy . Starting four months before the birth , she took birth control pills and a breastmilk-enhancing drug called Domperidone . The drug does not yet have FDA approval but is prevalent in Europe , some US states , and Canada , where Heidi and Maryellen eventually bought their dosage . Experience : The couple from Santa Cruz , California , said it has made them stronger as a family . Journey : Maryellen -LRB- right -RRB- started taking birth control pills and a drug called Domperidone four months before Heidi -LRB- left -RRB- gave birth to Sequoia on November 7 . They conceived using artificially inseminated donor sperm . Maryellen stopped the birth control pills six weeks before Heidi 's due date , to make her body believe she had given birth , and started ` pumping ' up to six times a day . The pump is designed to make a woman 's body produce more milk . By the time Sequoia was born on November 7 , Maryellen was ready to nurse . She will continue with Domperidone and herbal tablets called ` More Milk Special Blend ' until Sequioa is no longer breastfeeding . ` Our friends are fascinated by the fact that my wife and I both breastfeed our daughter , ' Heidi , a 26-year-old nurse , said . ` We get a lot of : `` Wow , that 's amazing ! '' and `` I did n't know that was possible ! '' ' It came after a long battle to conceive . Heidi endured a year-long battle with endometriosis and ovarian cysts that threatened to affect her fertility . In spring this year , she was finally able to undergo an intrauterine insemination -LRB- IUI -RRB- to implant a donor 's sperm in her uterus . But it took ten cycles before the pregnancy test flashed pink . ` It was a heart wrenching time and very hard on us both , ' Heidi said . ` Every cycle and negative test was harder than the last , and the doctors were less and less hopeful . Birth : Having followed the meticulous program , Maryellen was able to nurse Sequoia as soon as she was born . Joy : They celebrated the birth at their family home and say they are already easing into their nursing routine . ` Our positive pregnancy test came just in the nick of time , and we were so glad . ' Now , four weeks after their home birth , photographed by Santa Cruz Birth Photography , Heidi , Maryellen and Sequoia are easing into their unconventional routine . For Sequoia , it means she does n't have to wait around - even though she is sometimes stubborn -LRB- ` she really makes us work for it ! ' -RRB- . ` We do n't really have a set schedule or rotation , ' Maryellen said . ` Whoever is near the baby or holding her will feed her , and the other will try to pump then or shortly after . ' ` We are able to sleep in longer chunks due to this , since it 's not all on one mama to have to feed her and stay awake . We switch whenever the awake mama feels like she needs help or sleep . ' Makes everything easier ! Both nursing , it means either can respond to Sequoia 's cries if the other is busy . But the crucial benefit is their connection . Maryellen said : ` For me , I am able to feel even closer to her . ' I am absolutely in love with her and feel incredibly connected to her ever since she was in utero , but since she 's been out of the womb and I 'm breastfeeding , I feel even more connected . ' I know other non-carrying lesbian mothers who feel like they are not as close to their child as the mom who carried the baby , and I know that breastfeeding has helped me feel incredibly bonded to her . ` When she is breastfeeding and falls asleep on me or lays her hand on me , I feel an overwhelming amount of love for her that I would n't have were I not breastfeeding . '

Heidi and Maryellen Olson conceived first daughter using donor sperm . Heidi gave birth to Sequoia on Nov 7 , Maryellen wanted to breastfeed too . Maryellen followed a program of birth control pills and a milk-enhancing drug for three months before the birth at home in Santa Cruz , California . Now , both mothers nurse their daughter , claim it enhances their closeness .

Chelsea have announced Ron Gourlay is to leave his role as chief executive . The Scot , who joined the club in 2004 and worked as chief operating officer before succeeding Peter Kenyon as chief exec in 2009 , departs on amicable terms to seek new opportunities . Marina Granovskaia , one of Roman Abramovich 's advisers , is set for a bigger role behind the scenes at Chelsea . Here , Sportsmail tells you everything you need to know about the situation at Stamford Bridge . Marina Granovskia with Didier Drogba in 2010 and the Premier League trophy , FA Cup and Community Shield . Granovskaia -LRB- left -RRB- with Drogba -LRB- and his son Isaac -RRB- , Salomon Kalou -LRB- second right -RRB- and Michael Emenalo . A smiling Granovskaia , Roman Abramovich 's former PA who is set to hold much more power at Chelsea . GOURLAY 'S GONE , WHAT 'S NEXT ? ` Chelsea Football Club announces that Ron Gourlay , after 10 successful years at the club including five as chief executive , is leaving Chelsea in order to pursue new business opportunities . ` The club , and in particular the owner -LRB- Roman Abramovich -RRB- and directors , wish to thank Ron for his many years of service to Chelsea and support his desire to seek new challenges . ` Ron 's efforts have helped the club to achieve its position as one of the leading football clubs in the world . ` Pending additional appointments , chairman Bruce Buck and director Marina Granovskaia will assume additional executive responsibilities . ' Marina Granovskaia . Keep hold of her coat-tails , she is the next big thing at Chelsea Football Club and is clearly going places after the announcement that Gourlay is on his way out . Gourlay was responsible for the day-to-day running of the club from Stamford Bridge . He was initially commercial director at Chelsea and filled Kenyon 's shoes in 2009 . Thankfully , we have never had to endure the type of press conference Kenyon squirmed through when Avram Grant was appointed Mourinho 's successor in September 2007 . ` He 's the right man for the job , we are absolutely convinced . ' Gourlay - or ` Galloping ' as he was affectionately nicknamed by the media - negotiated Chelsea 's massive kit deal with Adidas , although as one industry insider said : ` They pay , we wear , not difficult ' . Gourlay was in the boardroom suite at Crystal Palace on Saturday and there was no hint the chief executive was about to quit Chelsea . Director of football Michael Emenalo was there , along with affable secretary Dave Barnard , chairman Bruce Buck and the up-and-coming figure of Granovskaia . She runs the show now . Ron Gourlay has worked at Chelsea for 10 years , including five as chief executive . HOW POWERFUL IS A CHELSEA CHIEF EXECUTIVE ? The most powerful man at Chelsea is Roman Abramovich , period . Beyond that Eugene Tenenbaum , chairman Bruce Buck and the highly-influential Granovskaia jostle for position within Abramovich 's inner circle . To be fair to Gourlay he has overseen a period when Chelsea have become an acceptable face in European football and they are now respected by some of the biggest clubs on the continent . He is a decent , all-round nice guy . Gourlay was famously at the club 's training ground on the day Jacob Mellis set off a smoke bomb . Mellis was later fired . Public speaking was never his thing and he gave an awkward interview with Buck to talkSPORT when John Terry had been banned for insulting Anton Ferdinand . Owner Abramovich , pictured celebrating against Arsenal , wields the most power at Chelsea . WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR CHELSEA IN THE SHORT-TERM ? The accounts department at Chelsea might notice fewer receipts coming in from Lucio Italian restaurant on Fulham Road . It 's a regular haunt for the power-brokers at Stamford Bridge and takings wo n't be down for long . Beyond that , Jose Mourinho will give a gushing tribute to Gourlay at his press conference on Friday and his departure will be recorded in the matchday programme for the fixture with QPR at Stamford Bridge on November 1 . AND FURTHER DOWN THE LINE ? The next chief executive will come under pressure to find a solution to Chelsea 's long-running problem over a new stadium . Rebuilding Stamford Bridge appears to be impossible and they have lost out on the regeneration project of Battersea Power Station . Gourlay -LRB- left -RRB- pictured with Chelsea chairman Bruce Buc , who will assume additional responsibilities . ` It has been a privilege to have played a role in the club 's considerable achievements both on and off the pitch over the last 10 years , but I feel the time is right to move on to other challenges . ' I would like to thank Mr Abramovich , the directors , the manager and players and all the staff for their support during my time at the club , and wish them much continued success in the future . ' They floated the idea of ground-sharing with the RFU at Twickenham for a season while they remodelled Stamford Bridge , but it was met with fierce opposition from local MP Vince Cable . Finding somewhere in the borough to build a new super-stadium - to compete with the biggest clubs in Europe in terms of attendances and matchday revenue - will become more acute over the next few years . WILL THIS AFFECT JOSE MOURINHO 'S ROLE ? Mourinho was used to being the main man in his first period in charge at Chelsea , but he accepted a different set of conditions and criteria when he returned to the club at the start of last season . He reports to the football club board now and they make the big decisions in terms of policy . Mourinho has his say , but his job is to coach the team and make transfer recommendations . The Chelsea chief executive pictured with former England manager Fabio Capello at Stamford Bridge . MARINA GRANOVSKIA WILL ASSUME ` ADDITIONAL EXECUTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES ' - WHO IS SHE ? Abramovich 's former PA. . She has been close to a number of players in the past and has been on texting terms with them , which is not unusual for a modern-day executive . ANY WORD ON A LONG-TERM SUCCESSOR ? Marina Granovskaia . Her time is now .

Ron Gourlay has been chief executive at Chelsea for the past five years . Gourlay is leaving the club to ` pursue new business opportunities ' He said it has been a ` privilege ' to play a role in club 's achievements . Club thank Gourlay for his many years of service and support his decision .

Lewis Hamilton -- forlorn , curt and quiet-voiced -- had rarely looked more vulnerable than as he left the paddock to spend a night alone with his hopes and thoughts . The world championship is still his to lose . He is 17 points ahead of his Mercedes colleague Nico Rosberg -- who took pole -- and will start only one place behind him on the grid at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix . If he finishes where he starts -- second -- he will be enshrined in Formula One history as only the fourth Briton to win two championships . Graham Hill is one , the others are Jim Clark and Sir Jackie Stewart , the last to accomplish the feat 43 years ago . Lewis Hamilton appeared vulnerable ahead of the final race of the season at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix . Hamilton will battle Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg for the drivers ' championship on Sunday . Hamilton qualified in second place and will win the title if he can finish in the same position . But to observe Hamilton here after Rosberg 's virtuoso lap was not to see a man happily embracing his destiny . Damon Hill , the 1996 champion and son of Graham , summed it up perfectly : ` Nico is doing everything -- and I mean everything -- to get the high ground over Lewis . Lewis looks sometimes as if Nico is getting to him . I am concerned about that for Lewis 's sake . ' Rosberg was 0.386 sec faster in qualifying , giving him an 11th pole to his rival 's seven this season . Hamilton , a venerated one-lap specialist , must find that perturbing and inexplicable . Both men made a few mistakes over the three sessions . Hamilton locked up and ran far on to the kerbs ; Rosberg ran dramatically wide in the second session . When he set the fastest lap , Rosberg 's wife Vivian and the Mercedes ' hierarchy celebrated . The man himself put up a thumb and thrust a forearm out as he drove back into the pit lane . It was a gesture of intent . Rosberg celebrates after wining his 11th pole position of the season with the fastest qualifying lap . Rosberg is still in contention for the championship as double points are on offer in the season finale . The German driver appeared more confident as the season reaches its nail biting conclusion . This title fight is now going to be won as much in the six inches between the ears as the 3.47 miles of hot track . And Rosberg seems to be winning the psychological battle . ` Pressure , ' said the German , ` is one of the hopes that I have , a bit like today and in the last race in Brazil . ` They are the kind of opportunities I am looking for . I am pushing to keep the -LSB- pressure -RSB- level extremely high . Lewis has everything to lose ; I have everything to gain , so the pressure is on him . ' Hamilton has made a virtue of having no friends or family with him in the paddock here . There is just him and his Finnish trainer Ville Vihola . But is his singular approach really a help ? Or did he miss the companionship of more familiar faces when the going got tough under the night 's sky ? By contrast , Rosberg 's little throng of friends tucked into beer and pasta on a table outside the Mercedes hospitality area . They clapped when their man walked over with his plate of rice and chicken . Hamilton had to suffice with the brief company of rapper Pharrell Williams , their meeting making the British driver so late for his 7pm engineering debrief that technical director Paddy Lowe had to fetch him . Rosberg walked briskly there , sipping his water bottle . The up-and-at - ` im attitude was obvious . There are several permutations but Hamilton will be assured victory if he finishes second . Hamilton speaks with international artist Pharrell Williams -LRB- left -RRB- behind the scenes in Abu Dhabi . Hamilton takes time out to pose for a picture with Williams and Tyrese Gibson -LRB- right -RRB- . How the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix course is set up . So was Hamilton 's dejection . ` I do n't know whether he puts on looking sad , ' said Hill . ` His body language in the post-qualifying interview told me he could hardly bare to sit next to Nico . ` It 's not dislike ; it 's just very difficult emotionally to cope with this type of situation . It 's a total psychological game . That 's all it is . ' We should not lose sight of the fact that Hamilton remains favourite for the title . The maths favours him : if he finishes first or second there is nothing Rosberg can do about it , even with the absurdity of the points counting double . And coming in the top two should be straightforward enough so quick are their cars . Yet the Williamses of Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa will start third and fourth and can not be discounted . If Hamilton should not get cleanly through the first corner in at least second place , he is liable to be caught in the scramble behind . Hill knows the dangers of this better than most . For he admits he was ` not on full attack ' when he led the standings going into his title decider in 1996 and was hit by Gerhard Berger 's Benetton . Former world champion has questioned whether Hamilton has got his tactics clear ahead of the race . Hamilton races as night falls in Abu Dhabi in his quest to be crowned drivers ' champion for a second time . Hamilton 's racing style does not lend itself to driving for second place . ` It 's like golf , ' said Hill . ` The hard bit comes when you get nearer the hole . It 's the 50-yard chip with a half swing . I am not sure Lewis is so good at that . ' Hamilton is supreme as an all-out attacker but that is not his task here . He seems confused about what tactic to employ . Asked how he would conduct the race , he offered a brief response : ` Same as always . ' Fine , but later , when asked whether he would race for second , he said : ` You are right it 's not my style . But we will decide tomorrow . ' A couple of hours later , he was a touch more relaxed . ` I do n't really pay much attention to Nico , ' he said . ` Of course Nico , for sure , is trying everything possible in his head to come up with some kind of way of dealing with things I guess . That 's just how he deals with it . I just keep things to myself and do my talking on the track . ' Hamilton gives a thumbs up after qualifying , although having Valtteri Bottas behind him could be a concern . Hamilton and Rosberg share the stage together - but who will be standing on the winner 's podium ? Hamilton takes his Mercedes around the track for the final time before judgement time . By late evening , the Red Bulls were under investigation after the technical delegate Jo Bauer spotted the front wings of the cars driven by Daniel Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel , due to be fifth and sixth on the grid , were flexing illegally . They were relegated down the grid , so Jenson Button of McLaren moved up to sixth and now could have a say among the fray in what may be his last ever F1 race . His qualifying session was eventful : he had to go back to the pits because McLaren had forgotten to fuel him . ` Are you joking ? ' he said . He still beat his rival for a seat at the team next year , Kevin Magnussen , who will start 11th . The slowest cars on the grid were the Caterhams of Kamui Kobayashi and British rookie Will Stevens . But just making it here was a triumph of sorts for the team , whose affairs are being overseen by an Irishman called Finbarr O'Connell , the administrator and a ballroom dance devotee , who now finds himself on the pit wall .

The F1 drivers ' championship will be decided at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix . Lewis Hamilton leads his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg by 17 points . Rosberg starts on pole while double points mean that Hamilton must finish at least second to win the title .

Luis Suarez 's first appearance for Uruguay since sinking his teeth into the shoulder of Italy 's Giorgio Chiellini saw the Barcelona forward produce a beautifully-controlled volley that created the opening goal - and leave the pitch to visit the toilet during the game . The 27-year-old was named in the starting XI for the friendly fixture after his ban for four months and nine international matches was restricted to ` official matches only ' by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on appeal . And Uruguay 's No 9 set about proving why he should be given another chance by striking a right-footed volley that hit the post and forced an own goal from Hassan Muath Fallatah , before Saudi Arabia substitute Naif Hazazi equalised in the dying minutes .

' It took until the second half for Suarez to muster the chance for Uruguay in Jeddah , but it was single-handedly created by the controversial # 75million striker . Suarez won the initial free-kick after a rash challenge by Omar Hawsawi near the half-way line before peeling away from defenders to meet the resulting cross . He hit the left post as goalkeeper Abdullah Faisal Alarraf remained rooted , and defender Fallatah could do little to prevent the ball ricocheting off him into the back of his own net . Suarez could and should have doubled Uruguay 's lead in the 66th minute , too .

The England bid team for the 2018 World Cup should come clean if they attempted any vote swaps , a former chairman of the Football Association has said . Lord Triesman , who was also chairman of the 2018 bid until 2010 , said England should not advocate greater transparency from other countries than it was prepared to apply to itself . His comments came as he launched a renewed attack on the world governing body FIFA during a House of Lords debate on sports governance . Lord Triesman -LRB- left -RRB- pictured alongside Prince William at the FA Cup final between Chelsea and Portsmouth . In the latest in a string of allegations about the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups , won by Russia and Qatar respectively , both countries , along with England have been accused of breaking FIFA rules . A dossier compiled by the Sunday Times and published at the weekend by the Culture , Media and Sport select committee accused Russia and Qatar of engaging in vote-trading and vote-buying while England 's 2018 bid are alleged to have engineered a failed vote-swap with their counterparts in the South Korea 2022 bid . All three organisations have always denied any wrongdoing in their bids to host the tournaments , and a report recently by Hans-Joachim Eckert , the chairman of the adjudicatory chamber of FIFA 's ethics committee , cleared Russia and Qatar to stage the tournaments . The Sunday Times claims the allegations it submitted to Parliament were contained within a database which it says was compiled by England 's 2018 bidding team . The chairman of the Culture , Media and Sport select committee , John Whittingdale , admitted none of the allegations in the Sunday Times dossier had been proven but said they gave the impression of FIFA being a ` deeply corrupt organisation ' . After setting out the recent attempts by FIFA to investigate corruption claims , Lord Triesman said : ` It would all beggar belief , but not quite enough disbelief in a way . Triesman -LRB- left -RRB- pictured alongside FIFA president Sepp Blatter -LRB- right -RRB- in Zurich , Switzerland . ` The England 2018 bid team apparently also have a secret dossier with potential evidence of corruption . ` When asked by Mr Justice Dingemans and also I think by the select committee , they said they had no further information . ' I would love to have seen it . It would have gone immediately to Mr John Whittingdale and his committee and they would have been the people to judge whether it was appropriate to move further and not those who really did n't want it to be seen . ` FIFA needs root and branch reform . Its culture will not be changed by tweaking the processes . Culture is always stronger than process . Mr -LRB- Sepp -RRB- Blatter -LRB- FIFA president -RRB- and the old school must go . His intention to run again is bad for sport . ` The Swiss government should be involved , the major sponsors should be involved and I believe the bids for the World Cup in 2018 and 2022 should be re-run . ` If England has anything to say about vote swapping that is not to its credit then let 's come clean as well and not advocate for others what we are not prepared to do for ourselves . ' Triesman -LRB- right -RRB- seen alongside former England manager Fabio Capello -LRB- right -RRB- at Wembley Stadium . Setting out the recent situation at FIFA , Lord Triesman , a Labour peer , said : ` Systematic corruption over decades overseen by a group who have been there for decades ; World Cups awarded by committee nearly half of whom have been compelled to go and some of whom jumped before that point . ` Whistle blowers and investigative journalists disregarded ; no embarrassment quite enough to prompt any action . ' A senior United States lawyer appointed to investigate but not to see the people who had already been exposed as corrupt , nor to view the huge Sunday Times documentation . ` Mr -LRB- Michael -RRB- Garcia writes a long report that is n't to be published . A German lawyer employed by FIFA writes a summary . Mr Garcia denounces it four hours later as inaccurate and defective . Still no one wants to publish the actual document . ` Candidly , I was surprised to be criticised for not helping Mr Garcia although I was subject to a sub judice restriction because I was being sued by a member of the FIFA executive for suggesting there might be corruption in that organisation . ' Triesman added his voice to calls for Michael Garcia 's -LRB- left -RRB- report into FIFA ethics to be fully published . Garcia 's report has only been published as a summary by FIFA , something Garcia himself quickly denounced . Opening the debate , Lord Moynihan , a former chairman of the British Olympic Association and sports minister , called for a wide-ranging overhaul of British sports governance . The Tory peer has put forward a backbench Bill on the issue that would bring in a string of measures aimed at improving the situation . ` The need for good governance in sport is no less or more than the requirement for FTSE companies and is essential if we are to protect the interests of athletes in the future , ' he said . ` Only by demonstrating good governance in sport , can governance and British sports administrators use their influence internationally to good effect . '

Lord Triesman chaired England 's bid to host the 2018 World Cup until 2010 . He wants England to ` come clean ' if they attempted to secure vote swaps . Triesman also said FIFA needs ` root and branch ' reform .

A retired investment banker who took his own life at his Kensington mansion had become ` very anxious ' about authorities investigating his former employer , an inquest has heard . William ` Bill ' Broeksmit , 58 , who was a former executive at Deutsche Bank , killed himself in January after leaving several suicide notes for family and friends . The inquest at London 's High Court heard how Mr Broeksmit retired from his position at the bank in February last year . William ` Bill ' Broeksmit , 58 , was found hanged at his home in South Kensington , central London , left , on January 26 , by his wife Alla , far right , who is pictured with Stella Hayes at a book launch party in 2008 . Written medical evidence said he was ` very anxious ' last summer about authorities investigating areas of banking where he had worked , but did not give any further details . The former senior manager , who had close ties to the bank 's co-Chief Executive Anshu Jain , was found dead at his South Kensington home by his wife , Alla , on January 26 . None of his family was present for the inquest but his lawyer handed a note from his wife to reporters afterwards which said : ` Bill was a loving husband and devoted father . The children and I are heartbroken by our loss . ' The inquest was told how he had not appeared anxious or depressed when he last saw a doctor in December 2013 . Psychologist William Mitchell said Mr Broeksmit recognised his concerns were due to a state of anxiety rather than reality . Coroner Fiona Wilcox said there was ` clear suicidal intent ' in the notes he left but did not give details of their content . Mr Broeksmit worked in investment banking and lived on exclusive Evelyn Gardens in South Kensington , pictured , which has an average property value of # 1.9 million . She said : ` These notes do provide evidence of intention . I am therefore satisfied ... that William Broeksmit did take his own life . ' Mr Broeksmit worked in investment banking - specifically risk and securities - and lived on exclusive Evelyn Gardens in South Kensington , which has an average property value of # 1.9 million . He was also registered to a high-value property a stone 's throw from New York 's Central Park . Mr Broeksmit 's name appears on US government records for the Broeksmit Family Foundation , which is based in the palatial 1185 Park Avenue building . Mr Broeksmit is linked by US documents to a three-bedroom apartment in this building , yards from Central Park in New York . The three-bedroom , three-bathroom apartment to which he is linked was worth around # 2million when it was last sold in June 2000 . Mr Broeksmit , who was born in the United States , was a key founder of Deutsche 's investment bank and one of many bankers , including Mr Jain , who joined Germany 's flagship lender from Merrill Lynch in the 1990s when Deutsche launched plans to compete on Wall Street . He was involved in the process of rescuing the bank in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis , when many investment banks found their debts were ` toxic ' , and unlikely ever to be repaid . Co-chairmen of Deutsche Bank , Juergen Fitschen -LRB- left -RRB- and Anshu Jain -LRB- right -RRB- called Mr Broeksmit ' a dear friend and colleague to many of us who benefited from his intellect and wisdom ' William Broeksmit worked at Deutsche Bank from 1996 to 2001 , then from 2008 until he retired -LRB- file picture -RRB- . Mr Broeksmit , a renowned risk expert , assisted the bank 's efforts to shift the worst of the debt , and reduce its total amount of lending . Chiefs at Deutsche Bank had planned to promote Mr Broeksmit to its management board in 2012 , but stopped when the German financial regulator expressed doubts about his experience as a leader . Deutsche Bank said in a statement after yesterday 's inquest : ` Bill was not under suspicion of wrongdoing in any matter . ' Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article .

Japan has given the Scotch whisky industry a ` wake up call ' - after a single malt from the Far East was named the best in the world . Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013 has been given the title by Jim Murray 's Whisky Bible - which describes the drink as a work of ` near incredible genius ' . For the first time , the 2015 edition of the renowned publication features no Scottish distillery in its top five . Scroll down for video . Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013 has been given the title by Jim Murray 's Whisky Bible - which describes the drink as a work of ` near incredible genius ' And to rub salt in Scotland 's wounds , the auld enemy has won European Whisky of the Year - the honour going to Chapter 14 Not Peated , from the English Whisky Company . The Yamazaki Single Malt , from Japan 's oldest distillery which dates back to 1923 , was given 97.5 marks out of 100 by Murray - who hailed its ` nose of exquisite boldness ' and finish of ` light , teasing spice ' . Varieties of Scotch whisky has been named best in the world by Murray in two of the last three years - Old Pulteney 's 21 year-old single malt in 2012 and Glenmorangie Ealanta in 2014 . Varieties of Scotch whisky has been named best in the world by Murray in two of the last three years - Old Pulteney 's 21 year-old single malt in 2012 and Glenmorangie Ealanta in 2014 . But the expert says that the emergence of such high quality overseas tipples should be a ` wake up call ' for the Scottish industry . He accused producers of taking their ` eye off the ball ' adding that the Yamazaki drink is ` a single malt which no Scotch can at the moment get anywhere near ' . Robert Burns -LRB- left -RRB- loved his whisky and even has a single malt named after him -LRB- right -RRB- . Murray said he had sampled hundreds of Scotch whiskies while tasting 4,700 varieties from around the world for his 2015 bible . In a savage critique of the Scottish industry - whose quality was written into folklore by the likes of Robbie Burns , he complains : ` Where were the complex whiskies in the prime of their lives ? ' Scottish bard Burns 's 1785 poem Scotch Drink celebrates whisky as ` thy strong heart 's blood ' and ` guid auld ' drink . But Murray bemoans the lack of innovation in the present-day industry . He writes : ` Where were the blends which offered bewildering layers of depth ? ` Where were the malts which took you on hair-standing journeys through dank and dingy warehouses ? ` Some have taken their eye off the ball and not brought into account the changes which have altered the face of whisky . ` They began to believe their own PR hype and standard brands started standing still or going backwards . ' The winning Yamazaki whisky - of which only 18,000 bottles were made - is only sold in a few hundred specialist shops in the UK and retails for # 100 .

Environmentalists have hit out at a giant new solar farm in the Mojave Desert as mounting evidence reveals birds flying through the extremely hot ` thermal flux ' surrounding the towers are being scorched . After years of regulatory . tangles around the impact on desert wildlife , the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating . System opened on Thursday but environmental groups say the nearly 350,000 gigantic mirrors are generating 1000 degree Fahrenheit temperatures which are killing and singeing birds . According to compliance documents released by developer BrightSource Energy last year , dozens of birds were found injured at the site during the building stage . State and federal regulators are currently conducting a two-year study of the Ivanpah plant 's effects on birds , with environmental groups questioning the the value of cleaner power when native wildlife is being killed or injured . Scroll down for video . ` Tower-power ' : Heat emanating from the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System , the world 's largest solar farm of its kind , has allegedly killed and injured dozens of birds and other wildlife in the Mojave desert . Injured wildlife : Environmentalists say there is growing evidence the technology is scorching birds that fly through the intense heat surrounding the towers , which can reach 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit . Big changes : The Mojave Desert has been transformed from a wilderness which homes tortoises and coyotes to a $ 2.2 billion green energy complex with the power to produce nearly 400 megawatts . Bright future : Jeff Holland walks near some of 300,000 computer-controlled mirrors that reflect sunlight to boilers that sit on 459-foot towers at the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System . Shine on : The computer-controlled mirrors , all 300,000 of them , are used to heat water in the boilers ' tubes and make steam , which in turn drives turbines to create electricity . Looking for some hot stuff : A boiler at The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System on the California-Nevada border vents steam as the field is set to finally open today after years of regulatory and legal tangles . Ivanpah , a joint project uniting NRG Energy Inc. , Google Inc. and BrightSource Energy , can produce enough electricity to power 140,000 homes . Larger projects are on the way , but for now , Ivanpah is being described as a marker for the United States ' emerging solar industry . While solar power accounts for less than one per cent of the nation 's power output , thousands of projects from large , utility-scale plants to small production sites are under construction or being planned , particularly across the sun-drenched Southwest . ` The opening of Ivanpah is a dawn of a new era in power generation in the United States , ' said Rhone Resch , president of the Solar Energy Industries Association , a trade group . ` We are going to be a global leader in solar generation . ' The plant 's dedication comes as government continues to push for development of greener , cleaner power . President Barack Obama has mounted a second-term drive to combat climate change , proposing first-ever limits on carbon pollution from new and existing power plants . His plan aims to help move the U.S. from a coal-dependent past into a future fired by wind and solar power , nuclear energy and natural gas . According to U.S. Energy Information Administration data , the cost of building and operating a new solar thermal power plant over its lifetime is greater than generating natural gas , coal or nuclear power . It costs a conventional coal plant $ 100 , on average , to produce a megawatt-hour of power , but that figure is $ 261 for solar thermal power , according to 2011 estimates . The figures do not account for incentives such as state or federal tax credits that can impact the cost . Ken Johnson , a spokesman for the solar association , said in a statement that solar systems have seen ` dramatic price declines ' in the last few years . That 's good for utilities in California , which must obtain a third of their electricity from solar and other renewable sources by 2020 . Supervising power : Jeff Holland , left , talks with Noel Hanson as they look out over a part of the five-square-mile field of gigantic mirrors set to produce enough electricity to power 140,000 homes . Shining beacon : While solar power accounts for less than one per cent of the nation 's power output , thousands of projects from large , utility-scale plants to small production sites are under construction or being planned , particularly across the sun-drenched Southwest . Nice view : One of the three boiler towers with uses the reflections from the mirrors to heat water and create steam which powers the turbines to create electricity . The Ivanpah site , about 45 miles southwest of Las Vegas , has virtually unbroken sunshine most of the year and is near transmission lines that carry power to consumers . Using technology known as solar-thermal , more than 300,000 computer-controlled mirrors roughly the size of a garage door reflect sunlight to boilers atop 459-foot towers . The sun 's power is used to heat water in the boilers ' tubes and make steam , which drives turbines to create electricity . While many people are familiar with rooftop solar , or photovoltaic panels , ` these are a little bit different . This takes the sun 's rays and reflects them onto towers , ' said NRG spokesman Jeff Holland . The plant can be a startling sight for drivers heading toward Las Vegas along busy Interstate 15 . Amid miles of rock and scrub , its vast array of 7-by-10-foot mirrors creates the image of an ethereal lake shimmering atop the desert floor . In fact , it 's built on a dry lakebed . Google announced in 2011 that it would invest $ 168million in the project . As part of its financing , BrightSource also lined up $ 1.6 billion in loans guaranteed by the U.S. Energy Department . Ivanpah can be seen as a success story and a cautionary tale , highlighting the inevitable trade-offs between the need for cleaner power and the loss of fragile , open land . The California Energy Commission concluded that while the solar plant would impose ` significant impacts on the environment ... the benefits the project would provide override those impacts . ' Uniting powers : The gigantic green energy project is a joint mission between NRG Energy Inc. , Google Inc. and BrightSource Energy . Looking at the man in the mirror : Noel Hanson stands near some of 300,000 computer-controlled mirrors on The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System . All under control : Workers monitor more than 300,000 mirrors from The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System 's high tech control room . Field of -LRB- green -RRB- dreams : The field of mirrors sprawls over five square miles of the Mojave Desert on the border of Nevada and California , about 45miles southwest of Las Vegas . Such disputes are likely to continue for years as more companies seek to develop solar , wind and geothermal plants on land treasured by environmentalists who also support the growth of renewable energy . At issue is what is worth preserving and at what cost , as California pushes to generate more electricity from renewable sources . In 2012 , the federal government established 17 ` solar energy zones ' in an attempt to direct development to land it has identified as having fewer wildlife and natural-resource obstacles . The zones comprise about 450 square miles in six states -- California , Nevada , Arizona , Utah , Colorado and New Mexico . The Western Watershed Project is continuing to push a lawsuit against federal agencies that reviewed the Ivanpah project . Its California director , Michael J. Connor , said alternatives to the site were not considered and serious environmental impacts , including fragmenting the tortoise population , were ignored . ` Do we really need to have these giant plants first , or is it better to generate solar power on people 's roofs , the place it 's going to be used ? ' Connor asked . NRG did not respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit . Resch said a key issue for the industry will be maintaining government policies that encourage development , including tax credits for solar projects that are set to expire in 2016 and government loan guarantees . ` The direct result of these policies is projects like Ivanpah , ' he said . According to statistics compiled by the Energy Department , the solar industry employs more than 140,000 Americans at about 6,100 companies , with employment increasing nearly 20 percent since the fall of 2012 .

The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System , the world 's largest solar plant of its kind , recently switched on . The plants is located on five square miles of the Mojave Desert , near the California / Nevada border . State energy officials have released photos of bird with singed feathers from flying into the hot ` thermal flux ' around the towers , which can reach 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit . The plant is made up of three generating units surrounded by more than 300,000 reflecting mirrors . At full power it produces enough electricity for 140,000 homes but is still attracting controversy over environment .

A popular restaurant has made the controversial decision to add a section to its credit card receipts that gives diners the option to leave a second tip for kitchen staff . Zach Pollack , owner/chef at Alimento , a popular Italian eatery in Los Angeles , said he added the second gratuity after two of his cooks left for higher paying jobs . ` They could n't make it work on their end , and I could n't make it work on mine - this is a small restaurant , ' he told Los Angeles Magazine . ` But at the same time , the servers are walking away with a lot of money . That 's great , but it put an issue in the spotlight that I 've been aware of for a while . ' Would you leave a second tip ? Alimento , an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles , has added a second line on its credit card receipts in hopes of retaining its kitchen staff . The kitchen gratuity will be divided evenly between Alimento 's line cooks , prep cooks and dishwashers . The sous chefs and Pollack himself will not get a cut . Traditionally , kitchen staff make a higher hourly wage than front-of-house staff - like bartenders and waitresses - to compensate for the fact they are n't making tips . Still , the take-home pay does n't even out : According to a study cited by Grubstreet , back-of-house workers make an average of $ 18,720 per year while the people in front make $ 24,123 . Mr Pollack says he hopes other eateries adopt his policy so that ultimately ` the best restaurants would be able to sustain better cooks , rather than losing them to hotels , country clubs , or lounge restaurants that are able to subsidize kitchen labor with extra income . ' Ready for dinner ! Alimento is located in Los Angeles 's trendy Silver Lake neighborhood . Restaurant employees are divided about Pollack 's plan . Oliver Levius , a chef at Italian restaurant Pastai in Manhattan , told MailOnline he thinks the kitchen gratuity is ' a little tacky ' and ` overly forward . ' ` It also pits the servers against the kitchen team , and restaurants tend to work better if the whole joint is pulling together , ' he said . Pastai 's manager Charles Fenwick Elliott , who is a former waiter , offered another scenario : ` I 've had bad tips before as a direct result of the kitchen screwing up . Conversely , great food can go unrewarded if the service is bad . So in my utopic restaurant scenario , I 'd like to see tips split down the middle between servers and kitchen staff . ' Bob Wilkerson , who worked as a cook in high-end restaurants in Roanoke , Virginia , for more than 15 years , said Pollack 's plan is something he always wished for . ` There was nothing worse than working a 500 plate service and then hearing the servers brag about the money that they had made , ' Mr Wilkerson said . ` Working a Friday night dinner rush is probably one of the most stressful things I have ever done . Having a few bucks tossed my way at the end of a shift like that would certainly make my day . ` Kitchen workers are the unsung heroes of the food industry , and they can make or break a restaurant 's reputation . I do n't think there needs to be an industry standard for what to tip the kitchen , but what is it to throw an extra dollar to the cooks ? Those dollars would add up . ' Although the industry may be divided , none of the potential patrons the Mail interviewed seemed perturbed by the suggestion to leave a second tip for kitchen staff . ` When a meal is really great , why would I not want to reward the kitchen ? ' said Amelia Mattix , a resident of Brooklyn , New York . . ` I 'm in law school , so it 's not like I 'm exactly rolling in dough at the moment , but a few extra dollars for an awesome meal is n't going to keep me from paying rent . ' Chicago resident Jourdan Crouch agrees : ` If the restaurant is tiny - which it sounds like this place is - the owner probably ca n't afford to raise the hourly wage by much . If this is what I can do to support small businesses that I love , I 'm happy to do it . Plus , having a second tip section gives you the option to distinguish great food from great service . I wo n't punish the server for bad food , and I wo n't punish the kitchen for bad service . ' Mr Pollack insists that the kitchen tip is completely optional - and he 's reminding Alimento 's diners of this by sending a tiny card out with the bill . ` At Alimento , we believe a great meal comes together not from the effort of any single person , but from the successful cooperation of a team of people , from servers and hosts , to cooks and bussers . Nevertheless , traditional tipping has created a very sizeable gap between the earnings of cooks and servers , and current State law prohibits restaurants from sharing servers ' tips with kitchen staff . Rather than imposing a mandatory ` service fee ' or ` kitchen surcharge ' as many are doing , we 'd like to leave the choice in your , the diner 's , hands . If you 're perfectly happy with tipping as usual , there 's no need for you to do anything differently . But , if you 'd like to send a little love to the lads and ladies hustling in the back , we 'd be honored to provide you the means to do so . All such tips will go to line cooks and other kitchen staff ; no one in management will participate.L.A . has many great restaurants , and we 're thrilled you 've chosen to dine with us today . We will continue to work hard to bring you the best dining experience we possibly can.Thanks for your ongoing support ! ' This is not the first restaurant that has experimented with a different model for paying its employees . Los Angeles restaurants Republique , Animal , Hungry Cat and others have added a 3per cent surcharge to bills to pay for employees ' health insurance , according to the LA Times . And Michelin-star chef Daniel Patterson , who owns Coi in San Francisco , recently announced plans to do away with tips and service charges altogether at his new restaurant Aster . Instead , he will raise menu prices by 15per cent and pay all employees hourly . ` This way , price is all inclusive , ' he told Eater . ` There 's no healthy San Francisco surcharge . There 's no tip , there 's no service charge . There 's just one price . ' I really do think in five years that 's how every restaurant will run . '

L.A restaurant Alimento implemented the idea in an effort to keep talent from leaving for higher paying jobs . The industry is divided on the plan , saying it could pit servers against kitchen staff .

A film about homosexual wartime codebreaker and father of modern computing Alan Turing has been attacked by his biographer . Enigma hero Turing played a key role in breaking the German Enigma code during the Second World War while working at Bletchley Park . He is credited with saving thousands of lives during the conflict . But a new American funded film about his life has been lambasted for exaggerating a love affair with a woman , played by Keira Knightley , and making a fictional connection to a notorious spy . Turing was a well known homosexual . Enigma hero Turing -LRB- left -RRB- played a key role in breaking the German Enigma code during the Second World War while working at Bletchley Park . Benedict Cumberbatch -LRB- right -RRB- is set to play him in an American funded film . The Imitation Game is based on a biography by Andrew Hodges , an Oxford maths academic . It is set to star Benedict Cumberbatch as Turing and fellow Bletchley codebreaker Joan Clarke will be played by Keira Knightley as Turing 's girlfriend - despite the fact that he was gay . The Sunday Times reports that Mr Hodges has been sent a script of the film and is ` alarmed by the inaccuracies it ' . He said : ` They have built up the relationship with Joan much more than it actually was . ' He said while the couple had been ` briefly engaged ' , it was said that he liked her because he could talk to her as if she were really another man ' and there had never been much physical contact . He said the casting of Keira Knightley in the role , did not ` strike him as right . ' Fellow Bletchley codebreaker Joan Clarke -LRB- left -RRB- . is set to be played by Keira Knightley -LRB- right -RRB- as Turing 's girlfriend - despite . the fact that he was gay . He said : ` I 'm not being rude about her , but Joan Clarke was no glamourpuss . ' The film follows the break-up of their relationship , which happened because Turing was unable to live a lie by marrying her . But Hodges is said to be more concerned about the main story line , which invents a fictional relationship between Turing and John Cairncross , who was later identified as the fifth man in the British spy ring that included Kim Philby and Guy Burgess . People who worked on separate projects at Bletchley were kept apart and Hodges labeled the scenario ` ludicrous ' adding that Turing and Cairncross would never have met . He said : ` Their relationship is invented . ' The paper reports that a line in the script , which sees Turing confronted by a colleague who tells him ` No wonder they think you are a spy ' , has now been removed . The film was written by Graham Moore and is to be directed by the Norwegian Morten Tyldum whose last production was the violent thriller Headhunters , and produced by Teddy Schwarzmann . Enigma hero Turing played a key role in breaking the German Enigma code during the Second World War while working at Bletchley Park -LRB- pictured -RRB- .

The two Americans killed in fighting in the Gaza Strip followed in the footsteps of scores of Jews from around the world who have volunteered to fight for Israel . Israel calls them the lone soldiers : They are men and women in the prime of their lives who have left their parents and often comfortable lives behind in places like Sydney , London , Los Angeles and elsewhere to join the Israel Defense Forces , marching in the desert and taking up arms to defend the Jewish state . There are about 2,000 lone soldiers currently serving in the military , said Marina Rozhansky , spokeswoman at the Israel Consul General in Los Angeles . Max Steinberg , left , grew up in Southern California 's San Fernando Valley and Nissim Sean Carmeli , 21 right , was from South Padre Island , Texas . The two Americans killed in fighting in the Gaza Strip . Groups for families of lone soldiers have recently started in Los Angeles and other cities , providing a support network as the fighting intensifies . For Jews who left Israel before the age of 15 or who never lived there , their service is voluntary . For many , it is a calling , a way to get back to their roots and unite the world 's Jewish population . Some have dual citizenship . Others speak little to no Hebrew and have only recently been to Israel . Max Steinberg , 24 , joined six months after he visited Israel for the first time on a Birthright Israel trip with his younger brother and sister in June 2012 , according to his brother Jake Steinberg . Max was a sharpshooter in the Golani Brigade , was among 13 Israeli soldiers and scores of Palestinians over the weekend who died during the first major ground battle in two weeks of fighting between Israel and Hamas .

The Jewish Journal was first to report Steinberg 's death . ` He got there and felt a connection to Israel , saw that as a place he could live and be successful , and he went for it , ' Jake Steinberg said . Israeli soldiers carry the coffin of Sgt. Nissim Sean Carmeli , during his funeral at the military cemetery in the northern Israeli city of Haifa . Thousands of people attended Carmeli 's funeral in the northern Israeli port town of Haifa after a Facebook status called for Israelis to come in droves so that the lone soldier would be not be alone at this final resting place . Carmeli was the youngest of three and has two sisters who currently live in Israel . He was ` loved by his parents infinitely ' Nissim Sean Carmeli , 21 , the second American killed , was from South Padre Island , Texas , and he felt that same strong connection to the country he had only moved to four years ago . ` Lone soldiers are a kind of star in Israel , ' according to the Jewish Journal in a report . ` For Israeli kids , army service is a rite of passage . But because it is a choice for the young members of the Diaspora who re-direct their own life paths to protect Israel , those enlistees are given a hero 's welcome - and a lifetime of Shabbat dinner invitations from their fellow soldiers , who become their surrogate families .

After Fishbein enlisted , he spent 30 days learning Hebrew along with more than two dozen others from Panama , South Africa , Australia and other nations . He then went through basic training , which included a 40-mile nighttime march through the desert . He lived for almost four months inside a worn tent from the Vietnam War era . Israeli troops wondered why he would leave the palm trees and beaches they had seen in movies . ` They did n't understand why a kid from Hollywood was there , ' he said . ` But after you stuck around , they would respect you and understand -LRB- that -RRB- we 're here together to try and protect the same thing . ' When Fishbein heard of the two Americans killed , it touched him deeply , he said . He has struggled to post on his Facebook page his emotions or even give an explanation to his friends in California as to why he felt the need to serve .

He was inspired by Michael Levin , a lone soldier from Pennsylvania killed fighting for Israel in 2006 . He visited his grave site in Israel , where his tombstone is covered in Phillies baseball hats and Eagles jerseys . ` It 's very nice living in America and everything is fine . But I 'm sure people right before WWII felt the same way about living in Germany , ' he said . ` If only there had been a place to run to for the Jews . That 's why it 's important to keep Israel , a Jewish nation , alive .

He is n't deterred by the recent violence . ` They teach you how to survive in Israel , ' said Cohen , who lived there for six years . ` You kind of have to survive there . I feel a lot stronger when I 'm there . '

Mark Wahlberg is seeking a pardon from the state of Massachusetts for a vicious racially-charged attack he committed as a teenager that left a man blind in one eye . Court documents reveal just how horrifying the 1988 attack was - including startling racial slurs he shouted at the victim and others - but the actor insists he is now ' a better person and citizen ' . Wahlberg , who served 45 days in jail after the assault , says his record continues to impact him and could prevent businesses , such as restaurants , that work with him from getting licenses . He insists he has come a long way since April 1988 , when he attacked Thanh Lam with a five-foot stick while yelling slurs at him in order to steal the two cases of beer he was carrying . Scroll down for video . Troubled past : Mark Wahlberg served 45 days in prison after he blinded a man in a 1988 assault . Documents included in his pardon request show he called the Vietnamese immigrant a ` Vietnam f *** ing s *** ' before striking him so hard that the stick broke in two and knocked Lam unconscious , according to the documents shared by The Smoking Gun . He then fled the scene and approached a second man , Hoa Trinh , put his arm around his shoulder and asked him to help him hide . But once police passed , Wahlberg hit him , leaving him blind in one eye . When Boston cops tracked Wahlberg down and took him back back to the scene of the assault outside a convenience store in Dorchester , he told officers : ` You do n't have to let him identify me , I 'll tell you now that 's the motherf ***** whose head I split open ' , the documents show . Authorities wrote that he also made ` numerous unsolicited racial statements about ` gooks ' and `` slant-eyed gooks '' . ' In his plea , Wahlberg said that he was under the influence of alcohol and drugs at the time . ` From later accounts of the incident , it is my understanding that I may have caused serious injuries ' to the men , he wrote . Other documents show that , in an earlier attack in Dorchester , he and two friends saw a group of black siblings and chased them . Changed man : Now , Wahlberg is hoping to get a pardon for his past actions . Scene of the crime : The liquor store where Wahlberg attacked a man with a stick and then ran away . ` We do n't like black n ****** in the area so get the f *** away from the area , ' the boys shouted at the group , according to the documents . They then chased the boys , shouting : ` Kill the n ***** , kill the n ***** ' . The following day , the group encountered one of the boys again and threw rocks at him . One of the rocks thrown by Wahlberg and one of his friends hit a nearby girl . The trio caused ' a high level of anxiety , fear and intimidation ' , the documents said . Though he was then only 16 at the time of the 1988 attack , he was charged as an adult and convicted of assault . According to NECN the initial charge was attempted murder . After emerging from prison , Wahlberg went on to find success in music with Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch and as a Calvin Klein model . Family guy : Wahlberg -LRB- above with wife Rhea Durham and three of his children and Kevin Hart -RRB- is now committed to multiple charities and attends church every day . But it was his appearance in the 1996 film Boogie Nights that really changed things , catapulting Wahlberg into the critically-acclaimed box office juggernaut that he is today . ' I am deeply sorry for the actions that I took on the night of April 8 , 1988 , as well as for any lasting damage that I may have caused the victims , ' Wahlberg wrote in the pardon application . ` Since that time , I have dedicated myself to becoming a better person and citizen so that I can be a role model to my children and others . ' He devotes much of his time and a large amount of his money to various charities , including the Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation and the Dorchester Boys and Girls Club . He is also a family man now , married to former model Rhea Durham and the father of four children , and attends church daily . The Board of Pardons will investigate the petition to decide if it warrants a hearing before it is recommended to the governor who by that time will be the recently elected Charlie Baker . Pardon ? It will ultimately be up to newly elected Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker -LRB- above -RRB- to decide whether or not Wahlberg should be pardoned . And while erasing the past is important , Wahlberg points out that he still talks about what he did to show how much a person can change . But he said that , as a convicted criminal , there are still some things he can not do and for that he needs a pardon , including working with law enforcement to help at-risk youth . In the end , however , it is about showing his growth . ` The more complex answer is that receiving a pardon would be a formal recognition that I am not the same person that I was on the night of April 8 , 1988 , ' Wahlberg explains . ` It would be formal recognition that someone like me can receive official public redemption if he devotes himself to personal improvement and a life of good works . '

Wahlberg , now 43 , served 45 days in prison and was tried as an adult even though he was just 16 years old at the time . Documents show he called one of his victims a ` Vietnam f *** ing s *** ' and that he later chased a group of black children , shouting : ` Kill the n ***** ! ' The actor , who has always been vocal about his troubled past , is now a married father who attends church every day .

Sissoko -LRB- right -RRB- celebrates scoring Newcastle 's winner against QPR at St James ' Park last month . The midfielder was sent off by referee Mike Dean against West Ham at the weekend . Newcastle manager Alan Pardew -LRB- centre -RRB- wants to tie down Sissoko to a long-term deal . Everton 's James McCarthy is also a confirmed target of Arsene Wenger but both Everton and Newcastle have little wish to sell in January even if faced with substantial bids . Sissoko still has four years left on his contract but Newcastle are happy to reward his form with improved terms . They are also keen to tie him down as Cheick Tiote continues to attract interest from clubs in Russia and a bid is expected for January . Newcastle , meanwhile , are keen on Danny Ings of Burnley but expect him to see out his contract and are maintaining an interest in MK Dons midfield prospect Dele Alli who has been the subject of enquiries from Liverpool and Brentford also . Newcastle have maintained an interest in Burnley and England Under 21 striker Danny Ings .

Moussa Sissoko has been in fine form for Newcastle United this season . Arsenal want to bring in a midfielder in January and are keen on Sissoko . Newcastle want to offer Sissoko new contract to ensure he stays . Arsenal also hold interest with Everton holding midfielder James McCarthy .

Researchers claim an age bias in the NHS is denying the elderly of life-saving cancer treatment . Stock picture used . The elderly are being denied life-saving cancer surgery due to an age bias in the NHS , researchers warn . They found that patients ' chances of undergoing vital operations decline sharply with age for all of the most common types of tumour . For prostate cancer , almost nobody has surgery once they reach 75 whereas it is offered to more than a quarter of men under 55 . And women with ovarian cancer over the age of 75 are half as likely to have surgery as those under 55 , according to a major study by Cancer Research UK . Britain has among the worst cancer survival rates in Western Europe and the gap is even wider for the elderly who are more likely to die from the disease than those in France , Germany and Scandinavia . One explanation is that they are being written off before the first consultation by doctors who only look at their date of birth . Nick Ormiston-Smith , Cancer Research UK 's head of statistics , said : ` These figures provide further detail about the age bias that older cancer patients face . If older patients are not being offered a surgical option , that is wrong . ` We do have lower treatment rates than other countries and this is more pronounced in older people . We have lower survival rates in older people , that could be explained by lower access to treatment . ' The research -- overseen by the National Cancer Intelligence Network , the government agency which analyses data -- looked at 367,000 patients who underwent surgery in England between 2006 and 2010 . This covered 21 types of cancer and for each one , academics worked out the percentage of patients having surgery in five age groups . They found that while 29 per cent of men with prostate cancer aged 15 to 54 had surgery , it fell to 0.1 per cent for those aged 75 to 84 -- and nobody had it over 85 . This means that just 48 potentially life-saving operations to remove prostate cancer are carried out in men over 75 in England every year . For women with ovarian cancer , just 37 per cent aged 75 to 84 had operations to remove tumours compared to 89 per cent in the 15 to 54 age group . Duleep Allirajah , head of policy at the charity Macmillan Cancer Support , said : ` This is yet more upsetting evidence that older cancer patients in England are getting a raw deal , despite the fact that half of people diagnosed with cancer are in this age bracket . ' The table above shows the likelihood of cancer surgery for each age group as a percentage . Surgery is considered the most effective treatment for cancer and is responsible for half of the cases where the illness is cured . Not all elderly patients will be suitable for treatment and those with other health problems such as dementia or heart disease may just be too frail . Others may not want to undergo a potentially risky procedure particularly if they would also need gruelling chemotherapy . In October 2012 new laws came into force banning all NHS staff from denying any treatment to the elderly based on their age alone . Although this research took place two years before this came into force , there is ample evidence the age discrimination is still widespread . Sean Duffy , national clinical director for cancer at NHS England , said : ` A person 's age should not be a barrier to getting the most effective treatments . It 's clear that more needs to be done to ensure older patients have equal access to treatment . ' Hundreds of thousands of cancer patients are going through the distressing ordeal of hospital treatment on their own , figures show . The charity Macmillan Cancer Support estimates that 89 per cent of those with the illness went to at least one appointment alone -- the equivalent of 270,000 sufferers in the UK a year . Nearly a third said it was because they did n't want to be a burden or that a relative or close friend was n't available . One in 20 patients said they had no choice as there was n't anyone to ask . Many patients say they feel incredibly lonely having to sit around for hours waiting for chemotherapy , radiotherapy or an appointment where they might be given bad news . Jacqui Graves , head of health and social care for Macmillan Cancer Support which surveyed 2,000 cancer patients , said : ` It is deeply saddening that cancer patients are facing one of the most frightening moments of their lives without having anyone with them to offer support . '

Researches claim elderly have lower chance of undergoing cancer surgery . Prostate cancer surgery is offered to more than a quarter of men under 55 . But almost no-one has surgery for it once they reach age of 75 . Britain has the worst cancer survival rates in Western Europe .

Demonstrators marching from Ferguson to Missouri 's capital to protest the police shooting death of Michael Brown were met with opposition as they passed through a rural town . Some people in Rosebud , population 400 , shouted racial epithets and held signs telling them to ` go home . ' According to the Missourian , the marchers even encountered a ` display of fried chicken , a melon and a 40-ounce beer bottle ' that was placed in the street . Scroll down for video . Racist reception : Activists marching Wednesday in response to the Michael Brown verdict got a racist reception as they passed through the town of Rosebud , Missouri on a 120-mile trek to the state capital . Shocking : One stared down the group of 50 marchers on the Journey for Justice through what was quite clearly a nod to the Ku Klux Klan hoods the once struck terror in black communities across America . Several of the 200 or so protesters held signs , like this boy 's which read ` Hands down ! Go to work ! ' -- a joke about what has become the call to arms for recent protests , ` Hands up , do n't shoot ' In video taken as the group passed through the tiny town , marchers appeared to keep their heads high as the hostile protesters -- one of them wearing something akin to a KKK hood -- yelled obscenities and told them to get back to work . I 've been brought up to know how to deal with people like that , ' marcher Cheyenne Willis told the Missourian . ' I ignore them and keep moving forward ... The comments that we saw are pure ignorance . ' The Missourian reports that at least one person displayed a Confederate flag , and the back window of a bus traveling with the marchers was broken by a bullet . The protest march began after a grand jury decided last week not to indict Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson , who was white , for the Aug. 9 shooting of Brown , who was black and unarmed . Activists gathered in Ferguson , Missouri , on Saturday to begin a 120-mile march to the state capital Jefferson City to protest the killing of an unarmed black teen by a white police officer , a case that has rekindled a national debate over U.S. race relations . Unwelcome : The group stood along the marchers ' route and angrily yelled as they passed by . Many of the counter-protesters said they were out to support the police , specifically Officer Wilson . About 100 people were expected to take part in the seven-day march organized by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People -LRB- NAACP -RRB- , with more joining segments of the long walk , NAACP staff member Jamiah Adams told Reuters . The march , which is reminiscent of the civil rights marches of the 1960 's , was set to begin at midday on Saturday at the Canfield Green Apartments , the residential complex near where 18-year-old Michael Brown was shot and killed on Aug. 9 by Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson . A grand jury 's decision not to charge Wilson ignited protests in Ferguson and a riot that left buildings torched and stores looted . The NAACP expects about 1,000 people to be part of the final leg of the `` Journey for Justice '' march . The civil rights group is asking participants to protect themselves against icy conditions expected along the route by wearing hand warmers and wool socks . The NAACP is also calling for a new police chief in Ferguson and a national law to prevent racial profiling by police .

The 7-day Journey for Justice march to Jefferson was met by some 200 angry protesters in the town of Rosebud on Wednesday . The 50 activists marching in the name of justice for Michael Brown were told to ` go home ' and ` get a job ' and heard racial epithets . The group organized by the NAACP continued through the hostile town of 400 and are expected to reach their goal of the state 's capital .

CLICK HERE to read who Sportsmail Columnists Jamie Redknapp and Martin Keown think will win the two-horse title race . It 's the ` U ' word Jose Mourinho does n't want to hear , but ca n't avoid at present . Unbeaten . After 21 games this season , Chelsea 's record reads : won 16 , drawn 5 , lost 0 . In fact , the last time Chelsea lost was against Atletico Madrid in their Champions League semi-final second-leg on April 30 -- 23 matches ago . The last time they lost a Premier League game was against Sunderland on April 19 -- a run of 17 matches . Chelsea celebrate a 3-0 victory over Tottenham that takes their unbeaten run to 21 games this season . Brazilian midfielder Oscar -LRB- top -RRB- insists that Jose Mourinho will keep Chelsea from getting complacent . The Portuguese has said that Chelsea going an entire season unbeaten is ` impossible ' Burnley 1-3 Chelsea . Chelsea 2-0 Leicester . Everton 3-6 Chelsea . Chelsea 4-2 Swansea . Chelsea 1-1 Schalke . Man City 1-1 Chelsea . Chelsea 2-1 Bolton . Chelsea 3-0 Aston Villa . Sporting Lisbon 0-1 Chelsea . Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal . Crystal Palace 1-1 Chelsea . Chelsea 6-0 Maribor . Man United 1-1 Chelsea . Shrewsbury 1-2 Chelsea . Chelsea 2-1 QPR . Maribor 1-1 Chelsea . Liverpool 1-2 Chelsea . Chelsea 2-0 West Brom . Schalke 0-5 Chelsea . Sunder 0-0 Chelsea . Chelsea 3-0 Tottenham . As much as the Special One wants to escape it , he ca n't ignore the ` U ' word . And nor , it seems , can his players . ` The unbeaten run is on our minds , ' admitted Oscar . ` But the team just starts again every time and plays for a win , and if we win or if we draw it is OK . What is important is that we do n't lose . ` Of course , we feel confident because we are not losing games . So you start confidently , but we need to continue like this . ' With Mourinho around , though , any bouts of over-confidence will be nipped in the bud . The Portuguese , despite his own self-confidence , is n't one to tolerate arrogance in his players . Before Wednesday 's win over Tottenham , Mourinho was adamant an undefeated season in all competitions was ` impossible ' . As quickly as the subject is broached , the Chelsea manager does his best to leave the issue behind . He views it as unnecessary pressure on his players when he wants them focused on winning matches -- not producing an undefeated season . With Manchester City building up a head of steam behind them , Mourinho 's men do not need any other distractions . ` The manager speaks before every game and he tells us not to be too confident , ' revealed Oscar . ` Mourinho speaks before the games and makes sure our feet stay on the floor . We have so many games to play and we need to continue to win them . Of course he wants us to stay confident , but not too much because that can be dangerous . ` He tells the attacking players to go for goals , to play our football , but when you do n't have the ball you have to defend . That is the way we have been winning games . ' Belgium forward Eden Hazard -LRB- centre -RRB- celebrates after scoring the opening goal against Spurs . Hazard insists the whole team has bought into Mourinho 's philosophy of defending without the ball . Chelsea have a six point lead over City at the top . That was backed up by Eden Hazard , who said : ` Defensively we are very strong . All the players want to defend for the team , even the attacking players , even me . We are very strong and it 's important . ' You could , though , forgive Mourinho for briefly turning his mind to an undefeated campaign . He is n't new to success but such an achievement would cement his place -- if it is n't already -- as one of the greatest managers in history . His squad is certainly strong enough to make a decent fist of it , too . Question marks over how the Blues would deal without the suspended Diego Costa against Spurs were emphatically answered by Didier Drogba who scored one and made another goal in the 3-0 win . It prompted Mourinho to reveal he is keen for the striker to continue playing for the club past his current deal that expires in the summer . Didier Drogba wheels away after turning back the clock with an inspirational performance against Tottenham . Mourinho has hinted that Drogba could stay at Stamford Bridge beyond this season . Sources close to the Blues legend insisted no decision would be made until after talks with Mourinho towards the end of the season . But Oscar made his opinion on Drogba crystal clear , saying : ` Ah , Didier -- he is fantastic . Fantastic player , fantastic person and I am so happy he is a part of the team . ` I learn from him . He speaks before the game to the attacking players . He wants to score every game . I watched him on TV when I was young , and we now play together . ' They 'll be lifting trophies together soon enough , too . Redknapp and Keown compare Jose Mourinho 's 2005-06 title winners and this season 's side .

Premier League leaders Chelsea are unbeaten after 21 games this season . Jose Mourinho says going an entire season without losing is ` impossible ' Brazil midfielder Oscar insists the Portuguese will keep his side grounded . Eden Hazard says team have bought into Mourinho 's defensive philosophy . Didier Drogba could remain at Stamford Bridge beyond this season .

Organizers of a University of Missouri demonstration held Tuesday in protest of the exoneration of Darren Wilson asked that ` only people of color ' participate in their ` die-in . ' The group 's email blast about the event asked ` non-people of color to stand holding hands in solidarity ' at the Columbia , Missouri campus event . A class walk-out that preceded the die-in was open to anyone interested in demonstrating . However , some are criticizing the organizers ' choice to exclude ` non-people of color . ' Organizers of a University of Missouri demonstration held Tuesday in protest of the exoneration of Darren Wilson asked that ` only people of color ' participate in their ` die-in ' The group 's email -LRB- pictured -RRB- about the event asked ` non-people of color to stand holding hands in solidarity ' at the Columbia , Missouri campus event . The College Fix spoke to one organizer about the decision . ` The `` die-in '' is meant to represent black bodies that are killed unjustly . It was requested that others stand in a circle holding hands , ' explained student Ebony Francis . The demonstration lasted four-and-a-half minutes as a nod to the four-and-a-half hours that Michael Brown 's body lay on the street after he was shot dead by Officer Darren Wilson . Demonstrations lasted about an hour and a half total on Tuesday and were meant to protest the grand jury decision not to indict Wilson . It was also meant as a demand for an equal justice system . One student told the College Fix that demonstrators failed , at least with that goal . ` If they are trying to make a message that is against racism , ' said junior Daniel Beaman , ' I think they may have failed . The email makes it appear as if white people are not victims of police brutality . Like it 's only a black issue . ' Die-ins like this one at Atlanta 's Emory University have happened all over America in the wake of grand jury decisions in the Michael Brown and Eric Garner cases .

The white people were asked to hold hands in solidarity during the demonstration following a class walk-out on Tuesday . The die-in was slated to last for 4.5 minutes to represent the 4.5 hours Michael Brown lay lifeless in the street after he was shot by Darren Wilson . Hundreds participated in the demonstration at the Columbia , Missouri campus .

New genetic research has revealed that a small group of hunter-gatherers now living in Southern Africa once was so large that it comprised the majority of living humans . Only during the last 22,000 years have the other African ethnicities , including the ones giving rise to Europeans and Asians , have become the bigger populations , researchers say . However , their fall has been quick - the Khoisan -LRB- who sometimes call themselves Bushmen -RRB- now number about 100,000 individuals , while the rest of humanity numbers 7 billion . Scroll down for video . The Khoisan -LRB- who sometimes call themselves Bushmen -RRB- now number about 100,000 individuals , while the rest of humanity numbers 7 billion . however , they once comprised the biggest group on Earth , new analysis has found . The Khoisan speak in ` click ' languages , and have also maintained the greatest genetic diversity known among human populations . The distinct clicks of their language have been incorporated into Zulu and Xhosa speech . They have also contributed to the richness of Afrikaans and South African English with words such as ` eina ' -LRB- ouch -RRB- and ` aikhona ' -LRB- absolutely not -RRB- . Khoisan traditions include snuff and makaranga tobacco . This is a very strong tobacco that is mixed with wild honey and made into a paste before being allowed to dry . Their lives and ways have remained unaltered for hundreds of generations , with only recent events endangering their hunter-gatherer lifestyles , according to the study set to be published in Nature Communications . By comparing nearly all the genes of these individuals with the genomes of 1,462 people from around the world , the researchers discovered that the inflow of new genes into the Khoisan peoples has been quite restricted the past 150,000 years , indicating that this large hunter-gatherer culture was physically isolated for most of its history and that its men typically did not take wives from outside the group . ` Khoisan hunter-gatherers in Southern Africa always have perceived themselves as the oldest people ' said Stephan Schuster , a former Penn State University professor now at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore . Researchers on the project included scientists at Penn State and other research universities in the United States , Brazil , and Singapore . The Nature Communication paper analyses five study participants from different tribes in Namibia . The study investigated 420,000 genetic variants across 1,462 genomes from 48 ethnic groups in populations worldwide . These analyses reveal that Southern African Khoisans are genetically distinct not only from Europeans and Asians , but also from all other Africans . Video kind courtesy of FOP Films . The Khoisan speak in ` click ' languages , and have also maintained the greatest genetic diversity known among human populations . The paper 's first author Hie Lim Kim , formerly at Penn State and now at Nanyang Technological University , said ` It is fascinating to unravel the population history of humankind over the last 150,000 years . ' By conducting extensive computational analyses , the team demonstrated that two of the sequenced individuals showed no signs of having inherited any genetic material from members of other ethnic groups . Interestingly , these individuals are the oldest members of the Ju / ` hoansi tribe , which still live in protected areas of Northwest Namibia . ` This and previous studies show that the Khoisan peoples and the rest of modern humanity shared their most recent common ancestor approximately 150,000 years ago , so it was entirely unexpected to find that this group apparently did not intermarry with non-Khoisan neighbors for many thousand years , ' said Webb Miller , professor of Bioinformatics at Penn State and a member of the research team . ` The current Khoisan culture and tradition , where marriage occurs either among Khoisan groups or results in female members leaving their tribes after marrying non-Khoisan men , appears to be long-standing . ' The Khoisan tribes , found in southern Africa , lived in near-isolation from the rest of humanity for thousands of years . The distribution of the three language families spoken by Khoisan people is shown on this map in green . The cultural and genetic persistence of the Ju / ` hoansi tribe is intriguing , the researchers say , because genetic and genomic analysis of ancient hominid lineages such as the Neanderthals , as well as non-African humans , have shown that intermarrying does occur frequently in these groups and is traceable over the entire time span of 150,000 history during which anatomically modern humans have lived . ` We also observed gene flow for some of the other Khoisan groups , as defined by their largely varying language , but a key finding of this study is that , even today , individuals without genes from other communities can be identified within the Ju / ` hoansi population and possibly others , ' Schuster said . ` Having identified non-admixed Khoisan individuals , we could compare the effective population size of the Khoisan with that of other humans over more than 100,000 years , ' said research-team memberAakrosh Ratan , an assistant professor at the University of Virginia . ` In a twist of fate , the major ethnic groups today in Africa , Asia , and Europe increased in size only after overcoming a population decline about 20,000 years ago . ' The researchers also investigated the hypothesis that climatic changes resulted in less-favorable living conditions , first in Western Africa and later in all of central sub-Saharan Africa . ` Using a paleoclimate model and data , we were able to show that glaciation in the northern hemisphere resulted in drier conditions in Western/Central Africa , while wetter conditions prevailed in Southern Africa , ' said Alvaro Montenegro , an assistant professor at Ohio State University and the Sao Paulo State University in Brazil . ' A hypothesis suggested by our new study is that the wetter climate conditions in the Khoisan-inhabited parts of Southern Africa may have resulted in more-favorable living conditions . ' Researchers previously identified two migrations : One about 3,000 years ago , of non-Africans entering east Africa , and a second one 900 -- 1,800 years ago .

Khoisan , or Bushmen , now number about 100,000 individuals . For much of last 150,000 years tribe comprised majority of living humans . Only during the last 22,000 years have other African ethnicities , including the ones giving rise to Europeans and Asians , become bigger .

Gordon Strachan compared Scotland 's bruising , euphoric victory over the Republic of Ireland to a heavyweight title fight . Shaun Maloney 's sublime goal 15 minutes from the end of a tight , nip-and-tuck qualifier with the Irish completed a memorable and crucial Euro 2016 victory . Drawing level with the Republic on seven points after Poland 's emphatic 4-0 win in Georgia , the Scots secured all three points in a frenetic clash . VIDEOS Scroll down to watch . Shaun Maloney -LRB- left -RRB- celebrates as Steven Naismith -LRB- centre -RRB- gives chase after Scotland open the scoring . Strachan will now ring the changes for Tuesday 's friendly with England after admitting the game wrung every ounce of effort from his men . ' I think so , ' confirmed the Scots boss . ` They put so much into that game tonight . That was like one of those big heavyweight boxing matches . ' I absolutely would n't second-guess the outcome of this group now . ' The Scots had some sterling individual displays in goalscorer Maloney and man-of-the-match Charlie Mulgrew , called into midfield after an illness to James Morrison before the game . ` Charlie was immense , absolutely immense , ' said Strachan . ` Normally we would come in here and say : ` What a game Scott Brown has had ' . But Charlie has actually taken the mantle tonight and ably backed up by the people round about him . Scotland manager Gordon Strachan celebrates on the touchline at full-time as his side win 1-0 . ' I am really pleased with Shaun as well , as I am with Steven Naismith , Ikechi Anya and others but Charlie was the best man on the pitch I think -- ably backed by the others . ` But the smaller ones like Andrew Robertson , Maloney , Naismith and Anya showed brave play when the ball was flying about and there were tackles everywhere . ` They showed bravery on the ball . ' Poland 's triumph in Tblisi ramped up the pressure on the Scots before kick-off . Strachan had dismissed talk of a ` must-win ' beforehand , but the joyous celebrations of the Tartan Army afterwards told another tale . ` People have been telling me since the Georgia game it is must-win , ' the Scotland boss said . ` They said it before Poland and this one . Every game seems to be a must-win . ' I said before the game that one goal had decided all of the previous games in the group , apart from the one involving Gibraltar . It has happened again . ` We did say set plays were going to be vital and it happened . ` As for a pure footballing spectacle , it was n't that great . Maloney curls a low strike into the far corner as Scotland take the lead in Glasgow on Friday . ` But as a spectacle of two groups of players not wanting to give an inch , it was mesmerising . They all wanted to jump higher than each other , run quicker and battle harder . ' The Scots blew a raft of chances in both halves and survived a moment of anxiety in injury time when Grant Hanley 's defensive header almost spun into his own net , crashing off the bar . Insisting his team now believe in themselves after one defeat in four matches -- to world champions Germany in the opener -- Strachan added : ` When we 've played we 've believed we can play football . Tonight it was a more physical duel . Charlie Mulgrew -LRB- centre -RRB- celebrates the victory as Scotland move up to third in Group D . ` We dealt with that as well because the players trust each other . ` They know fine well if they 're not having a great night the guy next to him will help them out . ` And I think that 's what happened tonight . ' Asked what his over-riding emotions were ahead of an England friendly at the same venue , Strachan said : ` There are lot of emotions chucked in there , every emotion possible . But the good thing is I can go home , get to my bed and chill . That 's what I 'll do , go home and watch a bit of telly and fall asleep . I 'm looking forward to that . ' Steven Fletcher will miss the England game after limping off in the second half with an ankle injury .

Scotland beat the Republic of Ireland 1-0 at Celtic Park on Friday night . Manager Gordon Strachan compared it to a heavyweight title fight . Scotland now sit third in Euro 2016 qualifying Group D .

A Nebraska man described by one prison psychiatrist as a ` psychopath ' and ` one of the most dangerous people ' the doctor had ever evaluated was found guilty Wednesday of shooting dead four people last summer . Nikko Jenkins , 27 , who is representing himself , filed a handwritten motion to the Douglas County District Court last week stating his intention to plead guilty to all felony counts against him . But on Wednesday , he pleaded no contest to the murder counts , eight weapons counts associated with the killings and two separate counts of being a felon with a gun . Judge Peter Bataillon found him guilty of all charges . Scroll down for video . Guilty : Nikko Jenkins , pictured Wednesday , was found guilty of four counts of first-degree murder in the slayings of four Omaha people last summer . He is led from court by Douglas County deputies in Omaha . A no-contest plea acknowledges there is sufficient evidence to convict but is not an admittance of guilt . Prosecutors say Jenkins shot Juan Uribe-Pena , Jorge Cajiga-Ruiz , Curtis Bradford and Andrea Kruger in three separate ambushes over 10 days last summer after his July 30 release from prison without supervision . While prosecutors say that Jenkins planned the killings to cover up robberies of the victims or to keep them from identifying him , Jenkins insisted he did not remember killing anyone , only that an Egyptian god named Ahpophis ordered him in a foreign language to kill the four as human sacrifices . Dr. Eugene Oliveto , who serves as a psychiatrist for the prison system in Douglas County , testified in a February hearing on Jenkins ' competency that Jenkins was a ` psychopath ' and ` one of the most dangerous people I have ever evaluated . ' Bataillon found Jenkins competent to stand trial . Jenkins had flipped between expressing his guilt and declaring his innocence since being charged with the killings in September . After initially pleading not guilty , he declared in November that he wanted to plead guilty . He had changed his mind again by late January , saying he is mentally ill and should be released from jail . Psychopath : A psychiatrist called Jenkins , pictured , a ` psychopath ' and said he was ` one of the most dangerous ' people he 'd ever evaluated . Scene : Prosecutors say Jenkins shot Juan Uribe-Pena , Jorge Cajiga-Ruiz , Curtis Bradford and Andrea Kruger in three separate ambushes over 10 days last summer after his July 30 release from prison without supervision . Seen is the scene of two of the deaths . During a contentious two-hour hearing in which Jenkins cursed and attempted to introduce various arguments rejected by the judge , he said Wednesday that he wanted to plead guilty because he believes his constitutional rights are being violated and that he ca n't get a fair trial in state court . The judge later let him plead no contest to the charges . Jenkins had tried to plead no contest to all the charges earlier this month , but the judge refused to accept the plea because of the severity of the charges . The judge later allowed Jenkins to plead no contest to the murder counts , as well , when Jenkins denied prosecutors ' version of how Jenkins carried out the fatal shootings . ` My problem is , he disagrees with your factual analysis of the case , ' Bataillon said to Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine , in explaining why he could not accept Jenkins ' guilty pleas to the murder counts . ` He 's not admitting to anything . ' Police say Jenkins used a sawed-off 12-gauge shotgun loaded with deer slugs August 11 to kill Cajiga-Ruiz and Uribe-Pena , whose bodies were found inside a pickup truck in southeast Omaha . Eight days later , he used a small-caliber gun to kill Bradford , a one-time prison acquaintance . Then , on August 21 , police say , Jenkins pulled Andrea Kruger from her SUV as she drove home from work and shot her four times before speeding off in her vehicle . Death : Prosecutors said Wednesday they will still seek the death penalty for Jenkins . Prosecutors said Wednesday they will still seek the death penalty for Jenkins , who waived his right to a jury trial on the question of whether he should be put to death or sentenced to life in prison without parole . A three-judge panel will instead decide his fate . Kleine said he does n't know of a Nebraska case in which a person has been executed after pleading no contest to first-degree murder , but said Jenkins is not the first defendant to plead no contest and be convicted of first-degree murder . Jenkins ' release from prison is one of several that have prompted the state to reconsider its supervised release programs . He had threatened violence while incarcerated and begged corrections officials to commit him to a mental health institution . A state ombudsman 's report released in January faulted the department for its handling of the case . Two bills introduced by Senator Brad Ashford of Omaha on the topic were passed by the Nebraska Legislature this year and are awaiting the governor 's approval . One would provide more supervision for former inmates and another would create programs that help them transition back to society .

Prosecutors say Nikko Jenkins , 27 , shot Juan Uribe-Pena , Jorge Cajiga-Ruiz , Curtis Bradford and Andrea Kruger in three separate Omaha ambushes over 10 days last summer . The rampage came after his July 30 release from prison without supervision . Jenkins , who is representing himself , filed a handwritten motion to the Douglas County District Court last week stating his intention to plead guilty . Wednesday he switched to no contest , which does n't admit guilt . Jenkins said he did not remember killing anyone , only that an Egyptian god named Ahpophis ordered him to kill the four as human sacrifices .

Five officials with connections to FIFA and who were all involved in the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups are at the centre of a Swiss criminal investigation , according to the man who wants to be FIFA 's next president . And Jerome Champagne , a former long-standing FIFA insider who is the only currently declared rival to Sepp Blatter for next year 's presidential race , has told the Mail on Sunday that if any of the five are found guilty of wrong-doing , the entire bidding process should be invalidated . Russia was awarded the 2018 tournament and Qatar the 2022 event in a vote that happened four years ago next month . But corruption allegations have persistently swirled around those decisions and FIFA announced last week they had lodged a criminal complaint with the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland into ` the possible misconduct of individual persons in connection with the awarding of the hosting rights of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups . ' Jerome Champagne told the Mail on Sunday that five FIFA officials are to face a Swiss criminal investigation . No information has been confirmed by FIFA about the number of individuals or their identities although it is believed more than one are FIFA ExCo voters who influenced the destination of the 2018 and 2022 events . This development came amid the ongoing controversy of the FIFA ethics judge Hans-Joachim Eckert 's summary of FIFA investigator Michael Garcia 's investigation into the process . ` I am a strong defender of the principle of innocent until proven guilty but it is clear that what is at stake is enormous , ' Champagne told The Mail on Sunday . ` We need to know how the voting unfolded and how it was influenced . Even if one vote was improperly influenced that is too many . ` Was it one or none ? Or five ? If it was five then is that enough to change outcome ? Yes . Qatar won 14-8 . The problem is we need to know and we do n't know . ' Corruption allegations have swirled around the decision to award Russia and Qatar World Cups . Champagne added that it is his belief that FIFA 's probe into corruption allegations is effectively ongoing . ` It is an unfinished FIFA ethics investigation ... the request -LSB- to the Swiss Attorney General -RSB- is about five officials of FIFA . ' Champagne called for the full findings of Garcia 's report to be made public , even though Eckert has insisted that will never happen . ` I 've consistently and repeatedly called for transparency , ' Champagne said . ` What has happened over the past week only reinforces the need for that , more than ever . ` It has been almost four since that vote on 2 December 2010 and it continues to make me sad that the World Cup , the pinnacle of our game , remains tainted . We need to know what happened . ' This Brazilian fan holds up a sign towards the end of the 2014 World Cup , saying ` See you Russia 2018 ' Eckert 's 42-page summary caused huge controversy in identifying - and then traducing - two whistleblowers who gave extensive assistance to Garcia . Bonita Mersiades , a former Australian bid insider , and Phaedra Almajid , who worked for Qatar 2022 , spoke out in these pages last week about their disgust at their treatment . They both subsequently made formal complaints to FIFA about Eckert allegedly breaching article 16.1 of FIFA 's own ethics code in making them clearly identifiable in his summary . They have not even received any acknowledgement of their complaint , let alone any explanation . ` I was stunned that the whistleblowers were described in the way they were so that they could be identified , ' Champagne says . ` They are courageous people and they were failed by this report . ' Eckert effectively dismissed both Mersiades and Almajid as inaccurate and unreliable . But the Mail on Sunday can exclusively reveal that Garcia found them so valuable to his intelligence-gathering that he used tens of thousands of dollars of FIFA money to facilitate meeting them . Meanwhile , campaigning MP Damian Collins , who has a track record of pushing for FIFA reform , has secured a parliamentary debate on December 1 in the House of Commons on the subject of the Serious Fraud Office and FIFA . It is expected that various allegations of corruption surrounding the world governing body and the 2018 and 2022 process will be aired under parliamentary privilege .

Jerome Champagne wants to take Sepp Blatter 's job as FIFA president . He has told the Mail on Sunday that five officials are being investigated . The officials , who were involved in the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups , are at the centre of a Swiss criminal investigation . Corruption allegations have swirled around the bid decision .

After Arsenal qualified for the second round of the Champions League for the 15th successive season , Arsene Wenger joked that he would send someone different to the draw . When they have played their final group game against Galatasaray in Istanbul next month , where Wenger is ` 90 per cent ' sure they will finish second in the group , the last 16 will hold all the usual pitfalls . It is an achievement to reach the second round , but nothing more than that . Arsenal beat Borussia Dortmund at the Emirates on Wednesday to qualify for the last 16 . Yaya Sanogo celebrates scoring his first Arsenal goal with supporters at the Emirates Stadium . 1 . Real Madrid -LRB- # 411.5 m -RRB- . 2 . Barcelona -LRB- # 382.39 m -RRB- . 3 .

Chelsea -LRB- # 240.4 m -RRB- . 8 . Arsenal -LRB- # 225.26 -RRB- . Based on Arsenal 's status within the game , progressing to the last 16 of the Champions League is standard for a club of this size . They are up there now with the biggest teams in the world and expectations at a club with the commercial clout of Arsenal are high . This club charges more than any other to watch their football and yet they consistently sell their supporters short in the Champions League . They are much , much bigger than the club will allow you to believe because it gets them off the hook when they are beaten by Bayern Munich or Barcelona when the competition gets serious . The minimum acceptable target for one of the biggest teams in world football is to reach the quarter-finals as a matter of course . Arsenal 's victory over Dortmund meant they have now qualified for the second round 15 years in a row . Alexis Sanchez celebrates after scoring in Arsenal 's 2-0 victory on Wednesday .

Arsenal -LRB- # 75,037 -RRB- . -LRB- average wage per player -RRB- . At least Wenger , who developed an obsession with the competition , accepts that it is not enough to reach the second phase . He wants more , just as he did when his team came close to beating Barcelona in the 2006 Champions League final in the Stade de France . ` When you work at the football club we realise it 's not a waste to have that continuity and consistency and I 'm very proud of that , ' he admitted . ` The club deserves a lot of credit for that . But it 's not enough . We want more than that . ' His ambition is admirable , but this club is geared up for far more than the occasional appearance in the quarter-final of the competition . Arsenal 's team may not be as expensively assembled as their rivals , but their wage bill is right up there . Arsenal were beaten 2-1 by Barcelona in the 2006 final at the Stade de France in Paris . Steven Gerrard scores a penalty in Liverpool 's 5-3 quarter-final victory in 2008 . 1 . Borussia Dortmund -LRB- 80,295 -RRB- . 2 . Manchester United -LRB- 75,205 -RRB- . 3 .

Since reaching the final in 2006 , they have lost in the second round to PSV Eindhoven , Barcelona , Milan and Bayern Munich -LRB- twice -RRB- . They were beaten by Liverpool in 2008 , cuffed by Manchester United in the second leg of the semi-final in 2009 and taken apart by Barcelona in 2010 , when they lost 6-3 on aggregate . Winning it takes a special team and a good slice of luck , but we still laud the achievements of 10-time winners Real Madrid , Milan -LRB- 7 -RRB- , Bayern -LRB- 5 -RRB- , Liverpool -LRB- 5 -RRB- , Barcelona -LRB- 4 -RRB- and Ajax -LRB- 4 -RRB- . Every which way you look at the set-up around the Emirates , from matchday revenue to salaries to stadium and training ground facilities to transfers , Arsenal should be doing better in Europe . According to Deloitte 's Money League , published last January , Arsenal are the eighth biggest club in European football by revenue . Last year , Arsenal were beaten 3-1 on aggregate by Bayern Munich in the first knockout round . David Villa scores for Barcelona as they beat Arsenal 4-3 on aggregate in the last 16 in 2011 . Here they are : Real Madrid -LRB- # 411.5 m -RRB- , Barcelona -LRB- # 382.39 m -RRB- , Bayern Munich -LRB- # 341.66 m -RRB- , Manchester United -LRB- # 335.80 -RRB- , Paris St Germain -LRB- # 316m -RRB- , Manchester City -LRB- # 250.54 m -RRB- , Chelsea -LRB- # 240.4 m -RRB- and Arsenal -LRB- # 225.26 -RRB- . In terms of wages , sportingintelligence.com 's salary survey , which was published in April claims the Arsenal squad have the seventh biggest wage packets in world football . Here is the list : Manchester City -LRB- # 102,653 per week -RRB- , Real Madrid -LRB- # 96,027 -RRB- , Barcelona -LRB- # 94,256 -RRB- , Bayern Munich -LRB- # 84,671 -RRB- , Manchester United -LRB- # 83,120 -RRB- , Chelsea -LRB- # 76,626 -RRB- and Arsenal -LRB- # 75,037 -RRB- . This team , which qualified for the next phase of the competition after beating Borussia Dortmund 2-0 last night , also has the seventh biggest attendances in European football . Borussia Dortmund -LRB- 80,295 -RRB- , Manchester United -LRB- 75,205 -RRB- , Barcelona -LRB- 72,115 -RRB- , Real Madrid -LRB- 71,565 -RRB- , Bayern -LRB- 71,000 -RRB- , Schalke 04 -LRB- 61,570 -RRB- and Arsenal -LRB- 60,015 -RRB- . With a state-of-the-art stadium , always packed with fans , Arsenal need to start acting like a club of their size . Manchester United got the better of Arsenal in 2009 in the Champions League semi-finals . Where Arsenal really are streets ahead of the competition is , of course , their season ticket prices . That is where their fans are forced to pay through the nose . According to a BBC study last month , the cheapest season ticket at the Emirates is # 1014 , although this does include seven cup credits on top of 19 games in the Barclays Premier League . Remember , you can buy a season ticket to watch Cristiano Ronaldo play every other week at Real Madrid , who won the Champions League last season , for # 174.65 . You can watch the other best player in the world Lionel Messi , who has already won the Champions League three times , at the Nou Camp for # 103.38 . The seats will be up in the gods , but Barcelona fans can still get to watch a genuine great setting records . A season ticket to watch Real Madrid play costs as little as # 174.65 . A season ticket to watch Lionel Messi 's Barcelona in action starts at # 103.38 . At Arsenal , where ticket prices can fetch # 97 for a seat , they get to admire the brilliance of Alexis Sanchez now that he is wearing their famous red and white shirt . It is something of a shame that Arsenal continue to announce their official attendance because it is actually the number of seats sold . Last night , for example , there were perhaps 5,000 more empty seats dotted around the stadium . Still , the cash has already been counted from the fans who pay through the nose to watch this team and that means they can pay the bills . When the draw for the second round of the Champions League on December 15 , it is time for Arsenal to pay them back .

Arsenal beat Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday to seal place in last 16 . Victory means Arsenal have reached second round 15 years in a row . Arsenal have eighth highest revenue and seventh highest wage bill . North London club have seventh highest attendance in Europe . Ticket prices at the Emirates are some of the highest around . Gunners should be aiming higher than just a place in the last 16 . Arsenal have yet to win the Champions League .

Locals in northern New Jersey believe they filmed a black bear hunting for food hours before a 22-year-old hiker was mauled to death in nearby woods at the weekend . Two men splitting wood on Saturday captured a video of a bear going through garbage just a few feet from where they were working , before scampering off into the woods , according to CNN . On Sunday , Darsh Patel , a senior majoring in information technology and informatics at Rutgers University , was found dead in Apshawa Preserve - about 45 miles northwest of New York City - with a 300-pound bear guarding his body . Officials say the attack was the first fatal bear-human encounter on record in New Jersey . Scroll down for video . Attacks : Northern New Jersey locals captured this black bear looking for food in their garbage in September . Just a day after the footage was shot , a black bear mauled a 22-year-old student to death in the woods nearby . Patel had been hiking with four friends in the 526-acre woods . The five friends noticed the bear beginning to follow them and ran , splitting up as they did . When they could n't find Patel , they called police , who found his body about two hours later . The bear was about 30 yards from the body and circling , Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Larry Ragonese said , and would n't leave even after officers tried to scare it away by making loud noises and throwing sticks and stones . The male bear was killed with two rifle blasts and is being examined at a state lab for more clues as to why it may have pursued the group of five hikers . Kelcey Burguess , principal biologist and leader of the state Division of Fish and Wildlife 's black bear project , said the bear could have been predisposed to attack but more likely was looking for food . State and local officials stressed that bear attacks are rare even in a region of the state that may have as many as 2,400 bruins in its dense forests . ` This is a rare occurrence , ' West Milford police Chief Timothy Storbeck said , noting that his department receives six to 12 calls per week regarding bears , usually involving them breaking into trash cans . Locals : Residents in northern New Jersey often spot bears in and around their yards . There are as many 2,400 bruins in the area 's dense forests , but until now had never been a fatal human-bear attack . Preserve : This photo from NJUrbanForest.com shows the Apshawa Preserve , a 526-acre park with hiking trails . Wildlife officials believe there is a current shortage of the acorns and berries that bears eat . The hikers had granola bars and water with them , Storbeck said . Officials do n't believe the hikers provoked the bear but they may have showed their inexperience when they decided to run . The safest way to handle a bear encounter is to move slowly and not look the bear in the eye , DEP spokesman Larry Ragonese said . New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife guidelines direct law enforcement to euthanize ` Category I ' bears , which are deemed an ` immediate threat to human safety . ' NJ Advance Media reports that the New Jersey State Medical Examiner , the Fish and Wildlife Division of the state Department of Environmental Protection and the West Milford Police Department are looking into the circumstances of Patel 's death . Idyllic : The wooded preserve provides hiking trails and a peaceful setting for visitors to the northern New Jersey site . ` Bear sightings are not unusual by any stretch in New Jersey , ' said Bob Considine , spokesperson for the Department of Environmental Protection . ` They have been seen in all 21 counties , although they 're obviously most common in the northwest part of the state . ' Black bears rarely pose a threat to humans and often retreat when confronted . In 2006 , a tabby cat scared a black bear up a tree in West Milford . The bear only climbed down and left after the cat 's owner had called it back into the house .

Darsh Patel , 22 , was hiking with friends in the Apshawa Preserve in West Milford on Sunday when a bear started following them . The group fled in different directions and when the four other hikers could not find Patel , they called police . Patel 's body was found two hours later . The 300-pound bear was circling the body and could not be scared away . It was shot dead in accordance with Division of Fish and Wildlife guidelines . On Saturday locals splitting wood filmed a bear rifling through their garbage .

The homeowner accused of deliberately shooting dead a German exchange student allegedly told his barber just days before : ` I 've been up three night with a shotgun waiting to kill some kids ' . Markus Kaarma is charged with baiting Diren Dede , 17 , into his garage on April 27 before firing at him four times with a shotgun . It came weeks after two teenagers stole from Kaarma 's garage - a move prosecutors say sparked the Montana father-of-one to plot his revenge . Kaarma has pleaded not guilty and claimed that he was legally defending his life and his property when he opened fire . But that argument took a blow today as his hair stylist Tanya Colby told a court he said : ` I 've been up three night with a shotgun waiting to kill some kids . ' He added : ` I 'm not kidding , you 're seriously going to see this on the news , ' she claimed . Case opened : Markus Kaarma listened as the court heard he said he was waiting to kill teenagers with a gun . The development came as prosecutors opened their case on Thursday . On the first day of testimony , two teenagers , Mykle Martin , 17 , and Trsitan Staber , 18 , described how they went ` garage hopping , ' or burglarizing garages , in search of alcohol and other things after dark and hit Markus Kaarma 's house . Martin and Staber have been convicted in the incident in which they stole a wallet , marijuana , alcohol and an iPhone from Kaarma 's garage about a week before Dede was shot . Staber said he acted as lookout while Martin stole the items . ' I was the previous break-in , ' Martin said , his voice at times barely audible . ` I 'm the reason he -LRB- Kaarma -RRB- was waiting for another person . ' Both teens said Kaarma and his partner made a call to Karma 's iPhone . Staber said he heard Kaarma 's partner Janelle Pflager make a threat ; Martin said the couple did n't . Victim : Diren Dede -LRB- left -RRB- , 17 , was shot dead on April 27 after allegedly breaking into Kaarma 's garage . Tearful : Dede 's mother Gulcin -LRB- left -RRB- and father Celal -LRB- center -RRB- were emotional as they watched proceedings . Kaarma has pleaded not guilty to deliberate homicide , citing fear of harm to his family and property after he had been burglarized twice before the shooting . Deputy County Attorney Jennifer Clark said Kaarma gave no warning before firing in the darkened garage four times after tripping the motion sensor , and that Kaarma paused between the third and fourth shots . ` Neighbors heard the sequence of shots , ' Clark said . ` They heard boom , boom , boom , pause , boom . ' She held the pump-action shotgun used in the slaying and simulated firing it . Clark said Dede may have been crouching behind a car after the first shots were fired . ` We 'll be back to ask you to hold this man responsible for deliberately taking the life of Diren Dede , ' she said . Days before the shooting , Kaarma had gone for a haircut at a Great Clips and three women from the shop testified Thursday that they heard Kaarma say his house had been burglarized twice and that he had been waiting up nights to shoot an intruder . Arguments : Jennifer Clark , chief criminal deputy county attorney , demonstrates the pump action of the Mossberg 590-series shotgun , which Kaarma used to kill Diren Dede on April 27 , 2014 , in her opening words . ` I 've been up three nights with a shotgun waiting to kill some kids , ' hair stylist Tanya Colby said when asked what Kaarma talked about during the hair cut . She said he later told her , ` I 'm not kidding , you 're seriously going to see this on the news . ' Colby also said Kaarma believed police were n't doing anything about the burglaries . Defense attorney Paul Ryan said Montana law allows homeowners to protect their residences with deadly force when they believe they are going to be harmed . Kaarma did n't know whether the person inside the garage was armed , Ryan said . He said Kaarma is a man who does n't like to be around a lot of people , and he felt targeted and increasingly anxious for the safety Pflager and their infant son after the first burglaries . Montana 's ` stand your ground ' law makes it easier for people to avoid prosecution in a shooting if they felt an imminent danger , whether or not the person shot was armed . Dede , from the German city of Hamburg , was not carrying a weapon . Dede 's parents , Celal and Gulcin Dede , are attending the trial . ` We have lost a bit of our joy for life , ' Celal Dede said in a prepared statement to Germany 's RTL Television . ` We can no longer laugh , no longer be happy . A huge part of us was taken from our lives - a part that made our family very happy . '

Markus Kaarma fired four bullets into Diren Dede , 17 , in his garage . He has pleaded not guilty and claims he was defending himself . His barber said Kaarma told her : ` I 've been up 3 night with a shotgun waiting to kill some kids ... I 'm not kidding you 'll see this on the news ' Development came as prosecutors opened Montana case on Thursday . Two teenagers testified , said they think their ` garage-hopping ' prompted Kaarma to plot revenge before killing Dede .

Russia 's deputy prime minister has tweeted a picture mocking Barack Obama 's masculinity just days after the U.S. president announced a fresh wave of sanctions against the country . Dmitry Rogozin uploaded an image of Russian president Vladimir Putin posing with a leopard alongside an image of Obama holding a white poodle . The peculiar display of one-upmanship was captioned ` We have different values and allies , ' making it clear what the Kremlin thinks of the U.S. president and his Western counterparts amid heightened tensions following the shooting down of flight MH17 in Ukraine , which left 298 people dead . Scroll down for video . Mockery : Russian deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin uploaded this image of Russian president Vladimir Putin posing with a leopard alongside an image of Obama holding a white poodle . Macho : Rogozin 's image is the latest attempt by Russian officials to present Putin as an ultra-manly figure . He has previously posed for staged photographs topless on horseback . Rogozin 's image has so far been retweeted more than 1,000 times and is the latest attempt by Russian officials to present Putin as an ultra-manly figure . He has previously posed for staged photographs topless on horseback , swimming at sea , embracing a polar bear and hang-gliding with migratory birds . The image of his posing with a snow leopard is believed to have been taken during a visit to a sanctuary in the run-up to the Sochi Winter Olympics last year . The photograph of Obama , meanwhile , is understood to have been taken in the mid-2000s when he was campaigning to become Senator of Illinois . It is not the first time Rogozin has taken to social media to defend his country 's might . Earlier he tweeted a short YouTube documentary on the history of the Russian-made Ural tank . Joke : The image mocking U.S. president Barack Obama -LRB- left -RRB- uploaded by Russian deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin -LRB- right -RRB- has so far been retweeted more than 1,000 times . Outdoorsy : Russian president Vladimir Putin regularly poses for staged photographs to boost his macho image . Tough guy : Vladimir Putin has long been keen to show off his physical prowess as well as his political strength . Obama himself , meanwhile , is not exactly the most popular in the U.S. , with his approval rating close to an all-time low in the crucial Ohio swing state . In many Democrat-voting areas of U.S. he is now seen as a less-popular figure than potential presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton , amid anger over his domestic policies on illegal immigration , health care and gun control . He has also been criticised for being more concerned about his celebrity image than foreign policy and was accused of ` partying while the world burns ' when hosting a Katy Perry concert at the White House last night . As violence intensifies in Gaza , ISIS militants continue their brutal campaign in Iraq and Syria , and tensions with Russia reach Cold War levels , Obama introduced the pop star on stage with the words ' I love Katy Perry . She is just a wonderful person ... for her to take time out to do this is really special . ' Winning mentality : Putin is a fan of judo and often arranges photo shoots where he will take on and occasionally beat professional athletes . Not so tough : Although Rogozin suggested Obama was weak for posing with a dog , Putin obviously considers does n't consider it a faux-pas . Here he is seen snuggling up to his puppy he was given during a visit to Bulgaria . Rogozin 's mocking tweet comes after EU countries and the United States tightened sanctions on Russia over its role in the Ukraine crisis . Russia has been accused of supporting anti-government forces in the east of Ukraine . It has also claimed they provided the BUK suface-to-air missile launcher that down Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 in the state of Donetsk on July 18 , killing all 298 people on board . Today it was announced that Russia will impose import duties on products from Moldova and its latest move to limit trade with the former Soviet republic , which signed an EU free-trade deal in June . Moscow has put curbs on trade with some other countries that have attempted to move out of its orbit , including Ukraine . In . fact it was tensions over whether Ukraine should position itself closer . either to the EU or Russia that kicked-off the violence in the country . late last year .

Russia is currently Moldova 's third-largest export market after the European Union and Ukraine . The Russian government today said import duties at ` Most Favoured Nation ' rates will be introduced for Moldova on August 30 , covering products such as meat , vegetables , sugar and wine . Under the regime , Russia applies basic import duties to products from countries that are not members of its free trade zone and do not enjoy any other preferences . Moldova currently supplies products to Russia with a zero duty , according to their agreement . The move follows Russia 's decision to suspend imports of fruit and limit meat imports from Moldova after the country of 3.5 million - one of Europe 's poorest states - signed the free-trade and political cooperation agreement with the EU .

A Hawaiian man has claimed the Guinness World Record for the largest non-surgically made stretch earlobes - which are so big you can fit a hand through them . Kala Kaiwi , who unsurprisingly works as a tattoo and body modification artist , has earlobe stretches or ` flesh tunnels ' measuring 109mm -LRB- 4.3 inches -RRB- in diameter , to go with his hundreds of other wacky body adaptations . He has just returned from Milan , Italy where he picked up his award , almost certainly setting off airport security scanners on his way . Kala Kaiwi is the new Guinness World Record holder for the largest non-surgically made stretch earlobes in the world . They measure 109mm in diameter and can fit a hand through . Kala has hundreds of other body modifications , including nostril piercings , face tattoos and horns on his head . Along with his flesh tunnels , he has had silicon horns implanted on his head , stretches in his nostrils , tattooed eyebrows and studs all over his face . He even split his own tongue using dental floss , and has bolt holes on his forehead with spikes screwed in . Kala trained in Las Vegas in 1999 before moving back to Hawaii to open Sin City Body Modification and Tattoo shop . To find out more about Kala Kaiwi and body modification click here . Ear stretches have become increasingly popular in recent years . The practice originated from indigenous people but has now become mainstream in the western world . Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh King Tutankhamen is known to have had them , although these days , you are far more likely to see them on a regular person than you are royalty . The trendsetter was Otzi the Ice Man , who dates all the way back to 3300BC and is the oldest human mummy in the world . He was discovered by German tourists in the Italian Alps in 1991 and as well as having 7-11mm ear stretches , he is covered in tattoos . When they first filtered into western cultures they were adopted by subcultures such as punks and rockers , but nowadays , you can find stretches on celebrities such as McBusted 's Dougie Poynter or rapper Lil Wayne , as well as all over the streets of any town or city . However , extra large flesh tunnels are still associated with counter culture . Professor Victoria Pitts-Taylor , from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York , says they are ' a slightly more committed body art than temporary practices or ear piercing . The more you stretch the skin , the more commitment you are expressing to a counter cultural look . '

Kala Kaiwi now holds record for largest ` non-surgically made ' flesh tunnels . The tattoo and body modification artist travelled to Milan to collect his award . He has hundreds of other body adaptations , including horn implants and face tattoos .

Luis Suarez is now the third most valuable footballer in the world according to an authoritative new report , published today , that rates the Liverpool striker as worth # 79million - at least . Only Barcelona 's Lionel Messi , with a ` starting price ' of # 161.5 m and Real Madrid 's Cristiano Ronaldo , worth at least # 85.2 m , are valued more highly in the study , compiled by a Swiss-based expert research centre . The CIES Football Observatory has detailed knowledge of actual prices paid in thousands of transfers to ` Big Five ' divisions over recent years , and have now published their annual review of players - including ` market values ' . VIDEO Scroll down to watch Messi scoring from behind the goal in training . Hit man : Luis Suarez was the Premier League 's top scorer last season with Liverpool . Revealed : The 20 most valuable players in Europe . A huge range of information is considered for each player to produce a ` real world ' price tag of what each star should objectively be worth in the transfer market this summer . Age , the length of contract remaining , position , performance data , international experience and the level at which the players are working are all considered . The stunning season enjoyed at Anfield by Uruguay forward Suarez , 27 , has propelled him up the rankings of ` most wanted ' among a string of elite clubs . The CIES study brackets his market value at between # 79.4 m and # 92.3 m. Suarez cost Liverpool # 22.8 m from Ajax in January 2011 and has been linked with some of Europe 's top clubs in recent days , from Real Madrid to Manchester United , who are reportedly ready to bid # 65m . On the basis of the CIES study , that would represent a huge under-valuation of the player . The fourth most valuable man on the list is Chelsea 's Belgium starlet , Eden Hazard , 23 , reckoned to be worth at least # 61.2 m. Chelsea paid around half that sum two years ago . Genius : Messi did n't have his best season at Barcelona , but is still the most valuable player in the world . The top 10 is completed by Paul Pogba of Juventus , Real Madrid 's Gareth Bale - rated at # 47.1 m at least , or considerably less than he cost last summer - then Arsenal 's Mesut Ozil , PSG 's Edinson Cavani and Bayern Munich 's Mario Gotze . Four England players make the top 20 : Wayne Rooney plus three of the young Lions from Roy Hodgson 's World Cup squad - Raheem Sterling , Ross Barkley and Daniel Sturridge . Rooney is thought to be worth # 29.6 m , a bit less than the younger Sterling -LRB- # 31.2 m -RRB- and Barkley -LRB- # 29.7 m -RRB- and very lightly more than Sturridge -LRB- # 29.4 m -RRB- . Outside the top 20 , Arsenal 's Jack Wilshere is rated as worth at least # 27.6 m and Southampton 's Luke Shaw is worth # 23.2 m. Wizard : Ronaldo was named Ballon d'Or winner , with the Portugal striker enjoying a superb campaign . Value : Chelsea 's Eden Hazard -LRB- left -RRB- is fourth , and Gareth Bale , the most expensive player on earth , was seventh . Any footballer is only worth what a club will pay for him , of course , but the CIES study shows that their evaluation process stands up to scrutiny , with only a small historical variation between their valuations on players and the prices they actually move for . The margin of error is fairly insignificant 7.5 per cent . Of the 20 highest valued players , nine of them play in the Premier League , for now at least , seven in Spain 's La Liga , two in Germany 's Bundesliga -LRB- Mario Gotze and Thomas Muller at Bayern Munich -RRB- , one in France 's Ligue 1 -LRB- Cavani at PSG -RRB- and one in Italy 's Serie A -LRB- Pogba -RRB- . At the top end of the chart , Messi 's value is almost twice that of Ronaldo 's . The report 's author 's say : ` This is mainly related to the younger age of the Argentinian prodigy , who was born 28 months after the Portuguese superstar . ` However , with respect to the last year , Messi 's market value has gone down -LRB- by $ 19m -RRB- while that of Ronaldo increased -LRB- by $ 4m -RRB- . Prospect : Everton star Ross Barkley was ranked in the top 20 most valuable players in the World . England 's future : Raheem Sterling was also in the top 20 after rising to fame with Liverpool . More information and access to the full report can be found at www.football-observatory.com .

Luis Suarez third in the CIES Football Observatory ranking of most valuable players . Lionel Messi is top of the list , with Cristiano Ronaldo second . England prospects Raheem Sterling and Ross Barkley are above Daniel Sturridge and Wayne Rooney . Nine current Premier League players make up the top 20 . A huge range of information is considered for each player to produce a ` real world ' price tag .

Legalising assisted suicide is a slippery slope toward widespread killing of the sick , MPs and peers were told yesterday . A former euthanasia supporter warned of a surge in deaths if Parliament allowed doctors to give deadly drugs to their patients . ` Do n't do it Britain , ' said Theo Boer , a veteran European watchdog in assisted suicide cases . ` Once the genie is out of the bottle , it is not likely ever to go back in again . ' Scroll down for video . How the toll has risen : The Netherlands has seen deaths double in just six years . His . native Netherlands , where euthanasia has been legal since 2002 , has . seen deaths double in just six years and this year 's total may reach a . record 6,000 . Professor . Boer 's intervention comes as peers prepare to debate the Assisted Dying . Bill , promoted by Lord Falconer , a Labour former Lord Chancellor . The . bill , which has its second reading next week , would allow doctors to . prescribe poison to terminally ill and mentally alert people who wish to . kill themselves . Professor . Boer , who is an academic in the field of ethics , had argued seven years . ago that a ` good euthanasia law ' would produce relatively low numbers of . deaths . Peers are preparing to debate the Assisted Dying Bill which was promoted by Lord Falconer , a Labour former Lord Chancellor . But , speaking in a . personal capacity yesterday , he said he now believed that the very . existence of a euthanasia law turns assisted suicide from a last resort . into a normal procedure . A . ` slippery slope ' for assisted dying in Britain would mean that . euthanasia would follow the same path as abortion , which was legalised . in 1967 . There are now . nearly 200,000 terminations a year . Anti-euthanasia campaigners and . disability activists called on politicians to listen to the professor 's . warning . The Paralympian , Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson , said : ` What Dr Boer says comes as no surprise . ` An . assisted dying law is playing with fire , especially when there are no . safeguards in place . Lord Falconer 's bill just is n't fit for purpose . ' Baroness . Jane Campbell , who is a disability rights campaigner , said : ` As happens . in Holland , Lord Falconer 's bill could end up encompassing significant . numbers of seriously ill people . ' Euthanasia . is now becoming so prevalent in the Netherlands , Professor Boer said , . that it is ` on the way to becoming a default mode of dying for cancer . patients ' . He said . assisted deaths have increased by about 15 per cent every year since . 2008 and the number could hit a record 6,000 this year . He . said he was concerned at the extension of killing to new classes of . people , including the demented and the depressed , and the establishment . of mobile death units of ` travelling euthanasing doctors ' . Activists , . Professor Boer said , continue to campaign for doctor-administered death . to be made ever easier and ` will not rest ' until a lethal pill is made . available to anyone over 70 who wishes to die . ` Some slopes truly are slippery , ' he added . The . Utrecht University academic has been a member since 2005 of a review . committee charged with monitoring euthanasia deaths . Its role includes a . duty to ` tell doctors how their actions in particular cases are likely . to stand up to legal , medical and ethical scrutiny ' . Professor Boer admitted he was ` wrong -- terribly wrong , in fact ' to have believed regulated euthanasia would work . ` I used to be a supporter of the Dutch law . But now , with 12 years of experience , I take a very different view . Theo Boer -LRB- left -RRB- warned of a surge in deaths which Tanni Grey-Thompson -LRB- right -RRB- said came as no surprise . ` Whereas . in the first years after 2002 hardly any patients with psychiatric . illnesses or dementia appear in reports , these numbers are now sharply . on the rise . ` Cases have . been reported in which a large part of the suffering of those given . euthanasia or assisted suicide consisted in being aged , lonely or . bereaved . ` Some of . these patients could have lived for years or decades . Pressure on . doctors to conform to patients ' -- or in some cases relatives ' -- wishes . can be intense . ` Pressure . from relatives , in combination with a patient 's concern for their . wellbeing , is in some cases an important factor behind a euthanasia . request . Not even the review committees , despite hard and conscientious . work , have been able to halt these developments . ' The latest euthanasia figures for the Netherlands show that nearly one in seven deaths are at the hands of doctors . Dignitas is Zurich-based organisation which helps people to kill themselves . Candidates have to fill in an official form to prove they want to commit suicide . In . 2012 , there were 4,188 deaths by direct euthanasia -- 3 per cent of all . deaths -- and 3,695 deaths by direct euthanasia in 2011 . The . figures do not include deaths by terminal sedation , where patients are . rendered unconscious before they are dehydrated and starved to death , an . act often referred to as ` euthanasia by omission ' . This practice accounts for more than 12 per cent of all deaths in the country . The . Netherlands is following a pattern that anti-euthanasia campaigners say . has happened wherever the practice has been legalised . Doctors . in neighbouring Belgium are collectively killing an average of five . people every day by euthanasia -- with a 27 per cent surge in one year . Dignity . in Dying , the pressure group which supports Lord Falconer 's bill , . dismissed fears that the legislation might lead to similar horrors . Its . spokesman James Harris said : ` Lord Falconer 's Assisted Dying Bill will . not legalise euthanasia , rather assisted dying for adults who are . terminally ill and mentally competent , similar to legislation in Oregon . which has been working safely for over 17 years and has never been . extended beyond the criteria of terminal illness . ' Anti-euthanasia campaigners dispute that the Oregon law is safe or that limited numbers are dying at their own request . Elspeth . Chowdharay-Best , honorary secretary of Alert , the anti-euthanasia . pressure group , said legalising assisted suicide would be like ` stepping . off a precipice ' . ` It means that you would lose the right to live , ' she . said . ` It is more serious than people realise . ' Under Lord Falconer 's bill , a terminally-ill patient would be able to ask for drugs to kill him or herself . Two . doctors would need to approve , and to be satisfied the patient was of . sound mind and settled view , and had not been influenced by others . In 2001 The Netherlands was the first country in the world to legalise euthanasia and , along with it , assisted suicide . Various ` safeguards ' were put in place to show who should qualify and doctors acting in accordance with these ` safeguards ' would not be prosecuted . Because each case is unique , five regional review committees were installed to assess every case and to decide whether it complied with the law . For five years after the law became effective , such physician-induced deaths remained level - and even fell in some years . In 2007 I wrote that ` there does n't need to be a slippery slope when it comes to euthanasia . A good euthanasia law , in combination with the euthanasia review procedure , provides the warrants for a stable and relatively low number of euthanasia . ' Most of my colleagues drew the same conclusion . But we were wrong - terribly wrong , in fact . In hindsight , the stabilisation in the numbers was just a temporary pause . Beginning in 2008 , the numbers of these deaths show an increase of 15 % annually , year after year . The annual report of the committees for 2012 recorded 4,188 cases -LRB- compared with 1,882 in 2002 -RRB- . 2013 saw a continuation of this trend and I expect the 6,000 line to be crossed this year or the next . Euthanasia is on the way to become a ` default ' mode of dying for cancer patients . Alongside this escalation other developments have taken place . Under the name ` End of Life Clinic , ' the Dutch Right to Die Society NVVE founded a network of travelling euthanizing doctors . Whereas the law presupposes -LRB- but does not require -RRB- an established doctor-patient relationship , in which death might be the end of a period of treatment and interaction , doctors of the End of Life Clinic have only two options : administer life-ending drugs or send the patient away . On average , these physicians see a patient three times before administering drugs to end their life . Hundreds of cases were conducted by the End of Life Clinic . The NVVE shows no signs of being satisfied even with these developments . They will not rest until a lethal pill is made available to anyone over 70 years who wishes to die . Some slopes truly are slippery . Other developments include a shift in the type of patients who receive these ` treatments ' . Whereas in the first years after 2002 hardly any patients with psychiatric illnesses or dementia appear in reports , these numbers are now sharply on the rise . Cases have been reported in which a large part of the suffering of those given euthanasia or assisted suicide consisted in being aged , lonely or bereaved . Some of these patients could have lived for years or decades . Whereas the law sees assisted suicide and euthanasia as an exception , public opinion is shifting towards considering them rights , with corresponding duties on doctors to act . A law that is now in the making obliges doctors who refuse to administer euthanasia to refer their patients to a ` willing ' colleague . Pressure on doctors to conform to patients ' -LRB- or in some cases relatives ' -RRB- wishes can be intense . Pressure from relatives , in combination with a patient 's concern for their wellbeing , is in some cases an important factor behind a euthanasia request . Not even the Review Committees , despite hard and conscientious work , have been able to halt these developments . I used to be a supporter of the Dutch law . But now , with twelve years of experience , I take a very different view . At the very least , wait for an honest and intellectually satisfying analysis of the reasons behind the explosive increase in the numbers . Is it because the law should have had better safeguards ? Or is it because the mere existence of such a law is an invitation to see assisted suicide and euthanasia as a normality instead of a last resort ? Before those questions are answered , do n't go there . Once the genie is out of the bottle , it is not likely to ever go back in again.Theo Boer has been a Member of a Regional Review Committee since 2005 . For the Dutch Government , five such committees assess whether a euthanasia case was conducted in accordance with the Law . In the past nine years , Prof. Boer has reviewed almost 4,000 euthanasia cases . The views expressed here represent his views as a professional ethicist , not of any institution .

Theo Boer , a European assisted suicide watchdog , said ` do n't do it ' In Netherlands euthanasia has been legal since 2002 . However , in six years the numbers of deaths have doubled . Peers are preparing to debate the Assisted Dying Bill . Bill has been promoted by Lord Falconer , a Labour former Lord Chancellor .

Most men enjoy a good pint of lager or real ale while they are watching football or relaxing with friends . Very few would dedicate themselves for more than two decades to the world 's longest pub crawl . But six friends from the West Midlands have embarked on a special quest to drink in a different pub every Saturday night - and have done so for 28 years . Peter Hill , 56 , his father John Hill , 81 , John Drew , 48 , Kelvin Price , 34 , Richard Hill , 30 , and Gary Mountain , 54 , make up the Black Country Ale Tairsters -LRB- BATs -RRB- and have been to a total of 16,337 pubs , hotels and wine bars . Cheers ! Peter Hill -LRB- left -RRB- , John Drew -LRB- middle -RRB- and Kelvin Price -LRB- right -RRB- from the Black Country Ale Tairsters enjoying a pint at their local . Living the dream : BATs have visited a new pub every Saturday night for 28 years , they 've been to more than 16,000 . Originally a team of 20 when it started in 1984 , the BATs have now slimmed down to half a dozen men on a serious mission . They have vowed to visit very single pub in the West Midlands even going as far as fashioning a rather fetching uniform out of beer towels . While it may seem as simple as walking into a pub and ordering a pint , there 's a strict science behind holding the longest bar crawl world record , as organiser of the group Peter , from West Bromwich explains . Stylish : They group were so dedicated that they decided to make their own uniform fashioned out of beer towels . Banter : The friends look happy together as they share a joke and a pint on an overcast afternoon in West Bromwich . He said : ` We have our own score cards which we fill in and give to the pub we go to . ` We write the number of the pub on the card , and ask the landlord to sign the book we have which has information in from every pub we go to . ` We also keep a record of the pubs we go to by taking a photo of the pub , inside and out and make a note of anything special about the place . ` The men believe they hold the title for the world 's longest pub crawl , and have kept thousands of souvenirs to prove it . Including 130 box files full of beer mats and menus and 35,000 photos . Stamp of approval : The BATs legendary commitment has turned them into real ale connoisseurs . Lads : Peter , John and Kelvin are three of six that make up the mighty Black Country Ale Tairsters - there used to 20 members when the club was founded in 1984 . Every pub they visit is rated , photos are taken and information is noted down and BATs approval is a recognised accolade in the local pub trade . Their almost obsessive hobby demands a certain amount of patience from their partners who sometimes accompany them to the pub - but are strictly banned from the BATs regular four-day boozy weekends away . Girlfriend Crystal Tromans , 24 , from Tipton , West Midlands , spoke of her six year relationship with Kelvin Price . She said : ` When I started going out with Kelvin , it was clear from the start that beer was part of the package . ` They have done it for so long , you know what you 're getting into - you ca n't complain . The BATs are committed to finding new pubs in Britain and Europe - this picture was taken during a visit Bankss , in Budvar . Day out : The gang are photographed at the Smiths Arms , Godmanstone , as they continue the world 's longest bar crawl . ` He enjoys his hobby and he lets me do what I want to do , plus it 's nice to get some time to myself ! ' I do sometimes go to the pub with him on a weekend if they 're meeting nearby , as some of the other partners do but we 're not allowed to go on the lads ' weekends - that 's definitely more of a man thing ! ` When we go away I ca n't keep him away from new pubs and breweries - he 's always trying to hunt out some real ale . ` Kelvin wants me to learn to drive so that I can ferry him about on his pub trips - good try . ' Dedication : The BATs keep a detailed log of pubs they have visited - their approval has become something of an accolade in the local pub trade . The BATs raise money for childrens ' hospitals along their way by asking each pub landlord they buy beer from to donate # 1 to a deserving cause , so far raising over # 15,000 . They have also made trips to pubs right across Europe but they say these pubs do n't count because they are not in the UK . The Tame Bridge public house in Great Bridge , West Bromwich , West Midlands is one of the team 's favourite local pubs . That 's better : Peter raises his pint as the other BATs take a sip of their first pint of the day outside their favourite pub . Local : The BATs allow their wives and girlfriends to come for a drink in the week but they are strictly banned from the boozy weekends away . Owner , David Parsons , 67 , said : ` These men are incredible - they are such a presence in the pub here . ` They have changed this pub , we used to serve a lot of lager but since they started coming with the knowledge they have of real ales , we sell a lot of the stuff . ` We get a different crowd in here now , and I love being educated about what they know about real ale . Calling card : The group invested in personalised beer mats - which they leave in every pub they visit . Pub number 15,440 ! The Old Moseley Arms in Birmingham - the BATs have visited 16,337 and have vowed to drink in every pub in the West Midlands . ` What they do n't know about beer , no-one does ! ' I do n't think their quest will ever end , they will always find new territories when it comes to beer . ' The BATs latest quest is to have been to every pub in the Midlands by the end of 2014 . Sunshine : The Bats were lucky to have a good weather when they visited pub number 15,499 The Paddock , Penally . Rain : The boys endured summer showers to visit pub number 15,520 - The Cresselly Arms , Pembrokeshire . Historical : Pub number 15,491 The Charlton , Pembroke Dock , looks staunchly traditional from the outside . Peter added : ` It 's great to have made it to many milestones , and exciting to think of what we have to come . ` It 's hard to think of a hobby which is so much fun . ` When we 've finished our current quest , we will just move on to another county . I 'll be doing this for as long as I can - I intend to visit every pub I can . ' Beer there and everywhere : BAT member Peter Hill has even written a book about his many experiences .

The Black Country Ale Tairsters have been to 16,337 pubs , hotels and wine bars . They fill in an elaborate score card and leave a personalised beer mat in every bar . Women are allowed to the pub but not on boozy weekends away .

A group calling itself ` The Women of the 99 Percent ' is making robocalls across the United States in an attempt to link Republican members of the House of Representatives to ` the war on women led by Rush Limbaugh ' . The automated calls are illegal because they do not state who they are from -LRB- there is no known group called The Women of the 99 Percent -RRB- or provide a callback number , as required under the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 . They appear to be the most aggressive attempt yet by Democrats to exploit politically the recent furore over comments by the controversial conservative radio talk show host . Scroll down to hear the call . Controversy : Rush Limbaugh kicked off a national firestorm with his comments . Limbaugh apologised last Sunday for his ` insulting word choices ' when speaking about Sandra Fluke , a student activist campaigning for contraception to be paid for by Georgetown University , a Catholic institution , under President Barack Obama 's healthcare reform . The radio host had said she was a ` slut ' because she was asking to be paid for having sex and then commented that she should repay the public by releasing videos of her sexual activities ` so we can all watch ' . Limbaugh 's comments had been widely denounced , including by John Boehner , Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives , and Barack Obama , in what Republicans branded an attempt to make political capital , telephoned Fluke to commiserate . Democrats have been taking Republicans to task over the comments . David Axelrod , the Obama campaign 's top strategist , said that Mitt Romney , the Republican frontrunner , had failed ' a test of leadership ' over ` the Limbaugh thing ' . He ask how if a candidate could n't stand up to ` the most strident voices in your party , how can he stand up to Ahmadinejad ? ' Activist : The radio host called Sandra Fluke a ` slut ' after she spoke out in favour of easy access to contraception . A call left on the answering machine of Paula Bolyard of Doylestown , Ohio yesterday stated : ` Hello , this is a message from Women of the 99 Percent . Congressman Jim Renacci is condoning the war on women led by Rush Limbaugh , who has become the de facto leader of the Republican party . ` Call Congressman Renacci at 330-489-4414 and ask him why he remains silent while Republican spokesman Rush Limbaugh insults , degrades , and verbally abuses women . Tell Congressman Renacci that it 's just plain shameful that he that he allows Rush Limbaugh 's behaviour to continue . We are the Women of the 99 Percent and we wo n't be silent anymore . ' As well Mrs Bolyard 's Ohio-16 district of Representative Jim Renacci , there were similar calls in Rep. Roscoe Bartlett 's Maryland-6 , Rep. Dan Benishek 's Michigan-1 , Rep. Judy Biggert 's Illinois-13 , Rep. Tim Johnson 's Illinois-15 , Rep. Bobby Schilling 's Illinois-17 and Rep. Scott Rigell 's Virginia-2 . The robocalls prompted hundreds of angry calls to Republican congressional offices . Target : Constituents of Ohio Republican Jim Renacci have been contacted by a robocall focussed around Mr Limbaugh . Mrs Bolyard sent out a tweet about the call and then posted an audio file of it on the RedState website after being contacted by MailOnline . In a blog post , she wrote : ` Apparently , unless you are throwing a public temper tantrum about Rush 's inappropriate and malicious comments , you are `` condoning '' them . By this standard , 99 per cent of the country is guilty . ' She added : ` We should all feel great compassion for the poor souls who had to answer the phones and listen to the angry rants that resulted from these robocalls . ' A blogger called ` Corinthian Scales ' from Michigan wrote that the claim against Rep Dan Benishek was ` one wildly outrageous accusation to make by an unidentified `` group '' who , by the way , is now intruding into the privacy of my home . ` Hmmm ... no number shows on the caller ID , and * 69 only prompts the phone company 's recorded message that they are unable to determine the phone number used . ' Criticism : John Boehner , Speaker of the Hous of Representatives , is one of many Republicans to have spoken out against Mr Limbaugh . Last week , the Democratic . Congressional Campaign Committee -LRB- DCCC -RRB- organised a petition accusing . Republicans of having ` launched an all-out war on women ' . The . petition said that Republicans were ` trying to silence women who stand . against their radical agenda ' and Americans had witnessed ` top . Republican leaders squirm at denouncing or even criticising Rush . Limbaugh after he called women 's health care advocate Sandra Fluke a . `` slut '' and a `` prostitute '' on his radio show . ' Phil Bloomer , spokesman for Rep. Johnson , said that some people calling as a result of the robocalls were not even in the congressman 's district but part of a new district created after boundary changes he will be running for in November - a sign the calls are linked to this year 's elections . He said : ` How do we not `` allow '' Rush Limbaugh to say what he wants ? We believe in free speech . At the same time , we do n't condone name-calling or caustic language from either the Left or Right . That is why Representative Johnson formed the Center Aisle Caucus in 2005 and continually advocates civility . ' Andrea Pivarunas , spokeswoman for Rep. Schilling , said : ` We were surprised to hear this since Representative Schilling spoke out about this days ago . ` He stated Mr Limbaugh 's comments on the religious freedom issue are deplorable and wrong , just as he also feels that the Obama Administration is wrong to violate the religious conscience rights of others . We hope the organisation spreading these inaccurate statements will issue a retraction . ' Telephone calls and emails to the DCCC and the Democratic National Committee asking whether either organisation was connected to the robocalls were not returned . Listen to the call .

A Facebook page seeking to preserve the ` Black Pete ' clowns in blackface who accompany St. Nicholas to the Netherlands during the holidays has become the fastest-growing Dutch-language page ever , receiving 1 million ` likes ' in a single day . The popularity of the ` Pete-ition ' page reflects the emotional attachment most Dutch have to a figure that helped launch the tradition of Santa Claus . It also reflects their anger at critics who call it racist . Those critics include foreigners who they feel do n't understand the tradition . They also include many of the country 's most prominent black people . Facebook page : The U.N. has condemned the Christmas tradition but a Facebook page set up in support of it has attracted huge attention . ` Do n't let the Netherlands ' most beautiful tradition disappear , ' the page says . On Tuesday , the chairwoman of a U.N. Human Rights Commission panel condemned it . ` The working group does not understand why it is that people in the Netherlands can not see that this is a throwback to slavery , and that in the 21st century this practice should stop , ' Verene Shepherd told television program EenVandaag . In stories told to children , St. Nicholas - Sinterklaas in Dutch - arrives by steamboat from Spain in mid-November accompanied by a horde of helpers : ` Zwarte Pieten , ' or ` Black Petes ' , who have black faces , red lips and curly hair . A public broadcaster produces a daily fictional news program about Sinterklaas and the Petes that is shown in schools for several weeks . On December 5 , families read poems and exchange presents as part of the Dutch-Belgian festival that is one of the main sources of the Santa Claus traditions . Opponents say Pete is an offensive caricature of black people . Supporters say Pete is a positive figure whose appearance is harmless . Popular : A musician dressed up as ` Black Pete ' during last year 's Christmas celebrations . The traditional song refers to Pete as a ` servant ' to the elderly saint , but in recent years those references have been replaced with the idea that he is black from chimney soot as he scrambles down to deliver toys and sweets for children who leave their shoes out overnight . Discussion about Zwarte Piet has escalated since 2011 , when a prominent opponent was thrown to the ground , handcuffed by police and dragged away for wearing a T-shirt reading ` Black Pete is Racism ' . Opposition has been centered in Amsterdam , home to the Netherlands ' largest black community . Mayor Eberhard van der Laan this month said he would support changing Pete 's appearance - but only gradually , as it has changed over time in the past . ` If it appears that Amsterdammers feel pain as a result of this tradition , that 's a good reason for new development , ' he said . Controversial : Many claim that the tradition is offensive towards black people . Organizers of the festival and the broadcaster also said they would be open to changes if people want them . The latest public figure to speak out against the tradition was the man who has played the part of ` Head Pete ' on the Sinterklaas news program for more than a decade . His commentary appeared in a top Dutch newspaper on Tuesday , entitled ` Make me less black and less a servant . ' Others to question the tradition include Victoria 's Secret model Doutzen Kroes . But their campaign has failed to draw widespread support and the overwhelming majority of Dutch people do n't want change . ` Message for the U.N. : Is n't there a war somewhere , starvation or genocide going on that you could better be concerned about ? ' Dutchman Peter Udo commented on the Facebook page . His comment attracted more than 2,000 likes . Prime Minister Mark Rutte said it is n't his place to intervene in a folk tradition . ` Black Pete : The name says it already . He 's black , ' he said . ' I ca n't change much about it . '

Facebook page supporting tradition gains one million ` likes ' in a day . ` Do n't let the Netherlands ' most beautiful tradition disappear , ' it says . UN has condemned the tradition claiming it reflects racial prejudice .
