PROBLEM: Disgraced former IMF chief and self-confessed 'sex addict' Dominique Strauss-Kahn has emerged as a favorite among voters to become the next president of France.

Pollsters Viavoice said 37 percent of those questioned thought Strauss-Kahn would be a good choice for the presidency, beaten only by the current prime minister Manuel Valls on 47 percent.Economist revealed as second most popular left-wing potential presidentShamed Strauss-Kahn is far ahead of current leader, Francoise HollandeAdmitted to having sordid sex sessions, while paid rape accuser £4mMore than one in three of those polled feel her would be a good president

PROBLEM: This is the moment a group of terrified African migrants were photographed clinging on for dear life after the barely seaworthy boat they were using to make the extremely dangerous passage across the Mediterranean Sea began to sink.

PROBLEM: Liverpool could be forced to pay a tribunal record of over £10million for Danny Ings if Burnley can prove Tottenham were interested in signing the striker for a fee in that region. The 23-year-old joined the Reds on a free transfer during the summer after his contract at Turf Moor expired.
