Ronnie O'Sullivan beat Graeme Dott 4-1 to progress to the semi-finals of the World Grand Prix in Llandudno, but called his performance 'diabolical'. The 39-year-old did not reach the heights he is capable of, but was still more than good enough to get past the Scot - the man he beat to win the second of his five World Championships in 2008. Ronnie O'Sullivan was in no mood to pat himself on the back after beating Graeme Dott . Neither man made a break of three figures and O'Sullivan missed a handful of easy-looking shots, but Dott was unable to punish him, most notably in the fourth when he missed a green off the spot as he tried to clear to level at 2-2. O'Sullivan made him pay, but was in no mood to pat himself on the back. 'Graeme has had a good tournament, been consistent and is always a tough match,' O'Sullivan told ITV4. 'We both played poorly, I felt nervous for some reason and couldn't see the wood for the trees. It was strange, one of those evenings and it was lucky Graeme played as badly as me. 'I was sitting there thinking of how good Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis were and they started twitching, and thought 'is this my time?'. I missed so many balls, it was diabolical. Martin Gould beat Peter Ebdon 4-2 to book a place in the last four in Llandudno . 'I'm just relieved, tomorrow is another day, but you want to build momentum as this stage of a tournament.' Earlier in the day, Martin Gould beat Peter Ebdon to ensure O'Sullivan would avoid a collision course with his old nemesis. He called the veteran, a man who has tormented him in the past, 'Peter f****** Ebdon' in a newspaper interview this week, but Ebdon was dispatched 4-2. O'Sullivan will face Stuart Bingham in the last four after he beat Mark Davis 4-0 in a low-scoring affair.

Kampala, Uganda (CNN)Gunmen on a motorcycle have shot and killed Uganda's lead prosecutor in the 2010 bombings that killed 76 people who were watching the World Cup finals. Joan Kagezi stopped at a roadside produce stand in a Kampala suburb Monday evening to buy some fruit when her assailants approached, according to police. "Criminals riding on a motorcycle ... stopped next to the parked car she was driving and shot her twice in the neck and shoulder through the window on the driver's side," Kale Kayihura, the inspector general of police, said Tuesday. Kagezi was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Kagezi was the lead prosecutor in the case of 13 terror suspects now before the High Court in Kampala. The blasts erupted in an Ethiopian restaurant and a rugby center while crowds watched the World Cup finals on TV. Spain defeated the Netherlands 1-0 in the 2010 championship hosted by South Africa. Kagezi also was in charge of the nation's International Crime Division. Kayihura called her death a big loss for the country and promised to hunt for her killers. "The murder of Joan Kagezi should only serve to increase our resolve to hunt down and bring to justice all those elements bent on disturbing the security and development of our country," Kayihura said.

Christina Lagogiannis, 12, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer, in January 2014 . The family of a 12-year-old girl who has undergone eight surgeries in the last 12 months to treat an aggressive bone cancer has raised over $100,000 to help get her to Germany for life changing treatment. Christina Lagogiannis, from East Bentley in Melbourne, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in January of last year. She endured more than six months of chemotherapy and a string of operations before being told that her cancer has progressed to stage four. 'The worst part is when your own child comes up to you and says: "am I going to die, mum?",' Christina's mother, Nayree Lagogiannis, told Daily Mail Australia. 'She had already Googled everything, let me tell you, but I said "I will promise you that I will do everything in my power to help you get better and I will not let you die".' Mrs Lagogiannis watched as her daughter took on a full knee and femur replacement, further surgery on her knee due to infection, a biopsy and then keyhole surgery on her right lung followed by three more open surgeries on her lungs to remove a number of lesions. Scroll down for video . Christina spent six months receiving chemotherapy and has undergone eight surgeries since her diagnosis . 'The worst part is when your own child comes up to you and says: "am I going to die, mum?",' Christina's mother, Nayree Lagogiannis (right), said . The 40-year-old mother-of-three said she was furious at the lack of options provided by the Australian healthcare system for her daughter's ongoing treatment -- comprising more chemotherapy and more surgeries. 'They are offering her chemotherapy with no percentage rate of remission or survival,' Mrs Lagogiannis said. 'I'm not going to let them guinea pig her. I don't need that. She's not going to have any more of that poison running through her veins. 'Each time they go in they have to take out a piece of her lung, and then there's only so much of the lung they can remove and that's when they will put her on palliative care. I'm not going to let that be the last alternative.

Christina's mother said she was furious at the lack of options in the Australian healthcare system for her daughter . Christina will be treated at the Medical Centre in Cologne in Germany where she will receive hypothermia and dendritic cell vaccinations - both of which are unavailable in Australia . 'I am very frustrated. There is so much funding for things like breast cancer, but the smaller cancers and less common things that have also been around for many, many years - the treatment hasn't changed for more than 30 years.' It was her promise to her daughter that led Mrs Lagogiannis to research treatment options available in Germany. She came across the Medical Centre in Cologne which offers hypothermia and dendritic cell vaccinations, both of which are not available in Australia, and promises a '95 per cent chance that she would either go into full remission or 50 per cent remission,' Mrs Lagogiannis said. Christina's family said they have been left completely overwhelmed by all the support they have received from their community which has led them to raise $100,000 . Christina (pictured with her little sister and older brother)  will travel to Germany with her family this week, where she will receive the $80,000 treatment over the next eight weeks . After raising over $100,000 through their My Cause page and by running a number of local fundraisers, Christina has been given the opportunity to travel to Germany with her family where she will receive the $80,000 treatment over the next eight weeks.

A morbidly obese woman, who lost 165lbs in order to qualify for gastric bypass surgery, nearly derailed the impact of the life-saving procedure when she allowed emergency room doctors to insert a feeding tube into her stomach for malnourishment - without consulting her weight-loss surgeon. When Angel, from Kerrville, Texas, joined TLC's obesity series My 600lbs Life, she weighed 570lbs and was consuming between 10 and 12lbs of food a day. But after realizing that her weight was forcing her to miss out on her son Andrew's life, she made the decision to travel to Houston to have weight loss specialist Dr Younan Nowzaradan perform surgery as a final attempt to save her family and her life. Following her surgery however, the 42-year-old mom began experiencing nausea and allowed her boyfriend Donnie take her to the hospital - instead of contacting her surgeon like she was instructed – where doctors inserted a feeding tube into her stomach, believing that she was ‘malnourished’. Scroll down for video . Emotional moment: Angel, from Kerrville, Texas was filled with tears as she described how her weight has spiraled out of control on the latest episode of My 600lb Life . Feeling helpless: The 42-year-old mom weighed 570lbs when she started the show and was unable to care for herself . 'I didn't have time to call Dr Nowzaradan while I was there, so I told him afterwards,' she explained. 'He was pretty upset.' She added: 'I feel like I keep getting close to getting my life back and then something happens. I just want to keep making progress and get back to living again.' Dr Nowzaradan demanded that Angel travel to see him in Houston immediately, so he could assess the amount of damage that was done by the doctors in Kerrville. 'I am hoping I didn't make the wrong decision and will regret it for the rest of my life,' Angel said. In his office, Dr Nowzaradan had her read the written instructions he had given her after her gastric bypass, which included a line about calling her surgeon if she started vomiting. While Angel said she couldn't call because she didn't have a phone on her, Donnie explained that he genuinely believed she was just sick and would be sent back home. Bad decision: Angel's weight loss surgeon, Dr Younan Nowzaradan, scolded Angel and her boyfriend Donnie for letting other doctors give her a feeding tube after her gastric bypass, essentially derailing her progress . Medical mistake: Angel experienced extreme nausea after her surgery, but instead of calling her doctor, she went to the emergency room where she was misdiagnosed as malnourished and given a feeding tube . 'You don't have to have a phone,' Dr Nowzaradan told her. 'Every hospital has a phone.' He couldn't believe that she would have another surgery without contacting him. 'What in the world is this?' Dr Nowzaradan said as he inspected the tubes that were placed in Angel's stomach. 'Why in the world does she need a feeding tube?' He added: 'She should not have allowed other doctors to do this.' Dr Nowzaradan explained that the feeding tube had essentially undone the effect of her bypass and it needed to be closed off, so she could continue to lose weight. While the procedure to rectify the damage she had done went well, it was another road block in Angel's ongoing battle to lose weight. Caregiver: Before her weight loss surgery, Angel relied on her boyfriend Donnie to do everything for her, include bathe her . Out of control: Angel said that even though she felt like an 'oversized whale', she couldn't stop eating. Donnie guessed that she consumed 10 to 12lbs of food a day . Full of love: Angel hugged her son Andrew, who she was unable to play with outside because of her size . Before meeting Dr Nowzaradan, Angel's weight was spiraling out of control. She was unable to play with Andrew, and she relied on Donnie to take care of her. 'I'm ashamed of it. It's just embarrassing,' she said. 'I see myself as an oversized whale. I just hate my body.' She noted that she 'used to feel beautiful' before she lost control of her life. Although she had grown up thin, she started to rapidly gain weight after her mother forced her to give up her first child, a baby girl, after she got pregnant when she was just 14 years old. 'My only choice was to give her up for adoption,' she told the camera. 'I just felt lost after that. That was one of the most painful experiences of my life, and I think about it all the time.' She continued: 'I turned to food for comfort, and that's when I started gaining the weight.' Disbelief: Angel sobbed during her first visit to Dr Nowzaradan's office in Houston. She couldn't believe that she let her weight spiral to 570lbs . Natural size: Angel grew up thin and didn't have a problem with her weight until she got pregnant with her first child at 14 years old . Seeking solace: After her mom forced her to give her baby girl up for adoption, she went from being thin (left) to rapidly gaining weight (right) because she turned to food during her time of grief . When she met Donnie, she weighed 405lbs, but her size didn't bother him. He was attracted to her personality and smile. After eight years together, they found out she was pregnant with Andrew. According to Donnie, Angel went into a postpartum depression when Andrew was born that she never came out of. 'She just stopped living,' he said. He went on to say that she has no idea how much she eats a day, explaining that she consumes 10 to 12lbs of food a day. Donnie had reached his limits and was debating leaving her for the sake of their son. 'Andrew is very aware of his mom's weight,' he said. 'It is really affecting him too. He doesn't get to go outside a lot because I literally cannot leave the house for very long because she is not able to care for herself.' He added: 'This isn't what I signed up for. I feel like a single dad all the time. She is here but not really. I feel like she just quit on me.' Mental health: As a part of her weight loss plan, Angel began seeing a therapist, so she could stop blaming herself for giving up her baby . No choice: Angel started to cry while she told her therapist how she was forced to put her baby up for adoption . Angel reached out to Dr Nowzaradan in order to save her family and regain life because she had hit her 'breaking point'. She feared that her son would grow up without a mom because she couldn't take charge. However, when she traveled to Houston in hopes of receiving weight loss surgery, she was ordered to lose 50lbs before they could proceed. 'I'm not going to think about it. I am doing it,' Angel told Donnie of shedding pounds. Months later, Angel lost 165lbs and was ready for surgery, but there were even more complications. Dr Nowzaradan had to stop in the midst of surgery because he discovered excessive-scar tissue from previous surgeries, which he attempted to remove. 'This surgery is the last chance to save my family, and I feel like I am losing it,' Angel later explained. Dr Nowzaradan was eventually able to give her the gastric bypass she so desperately needed, and Angel continued to make progress. After surgery she even went to one of Andrew's football games, something she was never able to do before. Making memories: Angel was finally able to go with Donnie to watch Andrew's football game after her weight loss surgery . All alone: Donnie can be seen helping Andrew with his football pads. Before Angel started losing weight, he said he felt like a single parent . Life-changing: Angel's weight loss allowed her to get out of bed and spend quality time with Donnie and Andrew for the first time in years . But the feeding tube she was later given threatened to ruin everything. 'We are dodging a bullet today,' Dr Nowzaradan said when he fixed Angel's botched surgery. After all of her struggles, Angel was still determined to lose weight and take control of her life. In addition to following her diet and becoming more active, she started seeing a therapist to learn why she is 'sad all of the time'. During one of her sessions Angel discussed how traumatic it was for her to give her first child up for adoption. Her therapist helped her realize that she had no choice and she can't keep blaming herself what happened in the past. Angel continued to get better both mentally and physically. She started helping around the house and going to all of Andrew's games. Making progress: A year after she started chronicling her journey for My 600lbs Life, Angel was excited to learn that she weighed 261lbs . Before and After: Angel lost half her body weight and returned to a size she hadn't seen since high school . For the first time in years, Angel was happy to go shopping for new clothes because she knew they would now fit her body . 'I don't want to miss a single thing from here on out,' she said. Donnie noted: 'Andrew has two full-time parents now, and he loves every minute.' She added: 'When I wake up, and it's not to eat. It's to get Andrew ready for school. I am back to normal.' A year after she started chronicling her journey on My 600lbs Life, Angel had lost 309lbs - more than half of her body weight. At 261lbs, as weight she hasn't seen since high school, she is now contributing around the house, spending quality time with her son and for the first time in years, she has even gone shopping for new clothes. 'This past year has been a roller coast ride, but it is all worth it because I am not just doing it for myself,' she said of her progress. 'I am doing it for my family.'

After surgery she even went to one of Andrew's football games, something she was never able to do before. Making memories: Angel was finally able to go with Donnie to watch Andrew's football game after her weight loss surgery . All alone: Donnie can be seen helping Andrew with his football pads. Before Angel started losing weight, he said he felt like a single parent . Life-changing: Angel's weight loss allowed her to get out of bed and spend quality time with Donnie and Andrew for the first time in years . But the feeding tube she was later given threatened to ruin everything. 'We are dodging a bullet today,' Dr Nowzaradan said when he fixed Angel's botched surgery. After all of her struggles, Angel was still determined to lose weight and take control of her life. In addition to following her diet and becoming more active, she started seeing a therapist to learn why she is 'sad all of the time'. During one of her sessions Angel discussed how traumatic it was for her to give her first child up for adoption. Her therapist helped her realize that she had no choice and she can't keep blaming herself what happened in the past. Angel continued to get better both mentally and physically. She started helping around the house and going to all of Andrew's games. Making progress: A year after she started chronicling her journey for My 600lbs Life, Angel was excited to learn that she weighed 261lbs . Before and After: Angel lost half her body weight and returned to a size she hadn't seen since high school . For the first time in years, Angel was happy to go shopping for new clothes because she knew they would now fit her body . 'I don't want to miss a single thing from here on out,' she said. Donnie noted: 'Andrew has two full-time parents now, and he loves every minute.' She added: 'When I wake up, and it's not to eat. It's to get Andrew ready for school. I am back to normal.' A year after she started chronicling her journey on My 600lbs Life, Angel had lost 309lbs - more than half of her body weight. At 261lbs, as weight she hasn't seen since high school, she is now contributing around the house, spending quality time with her son and for the first time in years, she has even gone shopping for new clothes. 'This past year has been a roller coast ride, but it is all worth it because I am not just doing it for myself,' she said of her progress. 'I am doing it for my family.' [/INST] Angel, from Kerrville, Texas, was featured in the most recent episode of TLC reality series My 600lb Life . After having gastric bypass surgery, she began experiencing nausea and was misdiagnosed as being malnourished . The 42-year-old mom allowed doctors to insert a feeding tube without the consent of her weight loss surgeon, undoing the effects of her bypass . Angel started rapidly gaining weight after her mother forced her to give her first child up for adoption when she was 14 years old . </s>
A young woman lies in a pool of blood alongside her newborn baby on the dusty floor of an Ebola treatment centre in Sierra Leone. The Makeni unit is where West Africans believe they go to die, not 'to be born or to live', said British doctor James Meiring, who found the new mother. But in a place that's notorious for death and suffering, Dr Meiring's quick-thinking paid off and both mother and baby have survived. And the newborn's name? Doctor James, of course. Scroll down for video . Doctor James: This newborn was named after the doctor who helped saved him when he was born in an Ebola treatment centre in Sierra Leone . Ebola worker: Dr James Meiring from Sheffield has been working at the Makeni treatment unit since February . Dr Meiring, 30, from Sheffield, is a married father-of-one who travelled to Sierra Leone last month to help halt the spread of the deadly Ebola virus, which has already claimed the lives of more than 10,000 people. He is an infectious diseases trainee at Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield, but spent five weeks as an International Medical Corps volunteer at the Makeni treatment unit between February 6 and March 15. The centre was built by the British Army, funded by the UK government, and has so far screened more than 385 patients - 105 of whom tested positive for the virus. Tragically, just 32 of those recovered. Dr Meiring has described in detail the morning of little Doctor James' birth after a 'fairly brutal' night shift earlier this month. 'There had been seven deaths in the day and two more overnight,' he said. 'That was my purpose for being in the red zone. 'Confirming death is one of the least enjoyable aspects of a doctor's responsibility. Here, confirming death is increasingly harrowing. 'Patients prefer to lie directly on the concrete floor, maybe it is cooler, which then involves continuously washing off not only layers of dust, but dust caked in their own bloody body fluids.' Mother and baby: Memunatu Kamara and her newborn tested negative for Ebola and were discharged earlier this month . Dr James Meiring dons his personal protective equipment before entering the high risk area of the International Medical Corps' Ebola treatment unit . He added: 'They lie, rigor mortis already setting in, in whatever position they happened to be in prior to passing. 'This particular morning my grim responsibility was thankfully complete. Shortly after this however, an employed Ebola survivor came running out of the suspect ward. 'The eight-month-pregnant lady was no longer pregnant.' Dressed in personal protective equipment (PPE), Dr Meiring re-entered the high-risk zone and found the young woman, Memunatu Kamara, on the ground under a blanket. Concealed under the simple piece of fabric was her newborn baby in an increasing puddle of blood. 'With my own heart rate rapidly increasing I was blessed by the imminent arrival of a far more competent national nurse carrying a birthing pack,' he said. 'With some hastily shouted orders over the fence, I scooped up baby and deposited him on to mum. 'Baby was quiet and a little blue. Now, I had seen on television that if you give them a rather firm rub they start to shriek; which he did right on cue. 'Without any prior experience of what I was about to undertake, I clamped the cord, cut it, delivered the placenta, checked it was all intact, gave her some oxytocin and massaged her tummy.' Lucky: A young woman was found on the ground under a blanket, which concealed this beautiful newborn baby . Medical staff wait to be disinfected after leaving a high-risk zone at an Ebola treatment centre in Sierra Leone . Soon the baby was wrapped up, the bleeding stopped and the woman was taken away to be cleaned up. 'The whole experience actually went just as it should have done,' Dr Meiring said. 'Just as it has done for millenia, across the world, thousands upon thousands of times. 'Except this, of course, was not like all those other times because unbeknownst to this little bundle of joy, he had arrived into the world in the middle of an Ebola ward.' International Medical Corps is one of a handful of international non-governmental organisations that is treating Ebola patients in West Africa. It is currently operating four Ebola treatment centres – two in Liberia and two in Sierra Leone – which provide not only isolation and care for Ebola patients, but also psychosocial support. To expand the pool of health workers capable of managing and working in emergency treatment units across the region, International Medical Corps is providing high-quality training for local staff, other partners and organisations in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Ebola management training centres have been opened. To date, International Medical Corps has trained more than 620 local and international staff who are now helping combat this outbreak in West Africa. In addition, it is working to find ways to strengthen local non-Ebola health care capacity. 'This is where people believe they come to die, not to be born or to live,' he added. 'His cord was cut by the double-gloved hand of a nervous British medic in a suffocating yellow suit. 'The reality is that mum was a suspected Ebola patient and if positive, then he was almost certainly positive too.' After the ordeal, Dr Meiring joked with the mother that she could call the baby James. To his surprise, Memunatu gave her newborn the title of Doctor James Bangura. The centre was built by the British Army, funded by the UK government, and has so far screen more than 385 patients - 105 of whom tested positive for the virus. Tragically, just 32 of those recovered and were discharged . Hope: The survivor wall at the Makeni treatment unit. Each hand print represents a life saved by the medical team . Subsequently, both mother and baby tested negative for Ebola and were discharged soon after. 'Having begun his existence in such desperate surroundings you might think that things can only get better,' Mr Meiring added. One of the deadliest viruses known to man, Ebola is spread through direct contact with the bodily fluids of the recently deceased or an infected person showing symptoms. The World Health Organization said Ebola can still be transmitted in sperm 82 days after a patient carrying the virus is cured. Ebola causes hemorrhagic fever and induces internal and external bleeding, profuse vomiting and diarrhoea. The world's worst Ebola epidemic has killed more than 10,200 people in total in the three most affected countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone since March 2014 when it was first confirmed in the forest region of Guinea. Ebola cases in Sierra Leone have dropped sharply from a peak of more than 500 in December to around 50 cases a week, helped by British military assistance. From tomorrow, the entire population will stay at home for three days on the order of president Ernest Koroma in a bid to stop the spread of the virus. It comes as a goal is set for cutting off the spread of the disease in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone by April 16. Liberia previously reported that it had reached an end to the epidemic but a new case appeared in its capital Monrovia last week. The infected woman is the wife of a man already cured of the disease, it has been reported. Thousands of people still remain at risk of Ebola in Sierra Leone and International Medical Corps is on the ground treating patients.

Kerry Washington looks stunning on the the latest cover of Marie Claire - but more importantly the Scandal star looks like herself, following last month's controversy in which InStyle came under fire for allegedly altering her appearance on its March issue. Marie Claire's cover shot featuring the beautiful 38-year-old actress, who donned a smokey eye, tousled hair and nude lips for the magazine's April issue, is a far cry from the unnatural-looking pictures that InStyle had debuted over a month ago. When Kerry happily shared the InStyle images on her Instagram last February, fans became outraged, accusing the magazine of allegedly whitening her skin and altering her features - which InStyle quickly denied. Scroll down for video . Natural beauty: Kerry Washington looks like her usual stunning self on the April cover of Marie Claire . Same woman: The magazine's cover shot is a far cry from the unnatural-looking picture that InStyle had debuted over a month ago . The fashion publication apologized to fans and released a statement in which it blamed the actress' seemingly altered skin tone on the 'lighting' used during the cover shoot. 'We have heard from those who have spoken out about our newsstand cover photograph, concerned that Kerry's skin tone was lightened,' InStyle said. 'While we did not digitally lighten Kerry's skin tone, our cover lighting has likely contributed to this concern.' The magazine added: 'We understand that this has resulted in disappointment and hurt. We are listening, and the feedback has been valuable. We are committed to ensuring that this experience has a positive influence on the ways in which we present all women going forward.' Posting on her own Twitter account, Kerry thanked the publication for making such a 'beautiful statement', adding that she was grateful the magazine had taken the time to open up such an 'important' conversation. Sultry gaze: The 38-year-old actress donned a smokey eye, tousled hair and nude lips for the magazine's April issue . Yesterday, Kerry proudly shared the Marie Claire cover on her Instagram account and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. 'Obsessed with this cover,' one woman wrote. Another added: 'Yup, this is Kerry Washington the beautiful! Great cover.' Beyond the stunning cover shot, Kerry, who was interviewed by Girls star and author Lena Dunham for the publication, discussed motherhood, privacy and her hopes and dreams for her nearly one-year-old daughter Isabelle as she grows up. 'I just want [Isabelle] to know that she's heard. Really heard, because I feel like that is what we all really want,' she explained.

She added: 'I see you, I hear you, I'm with you as you are.' Kerry also noted that she never felt particularly beautiful when she was younger. The actress, who attended the Spence School in Manhattan with Gwyneth Paltrow, noted: 'I didn't grow up thinking I was pretty. 'There was always a prettier girl than me.

A happy seal appeared to be having a fit of laughter as it lay on a Norfolk beach in these hilarious images. The extraordinarily expressive creature was later seen making a facepalm gesture, covering his nose with its flipper, before he gave a furtive glance and a cheeky grin to the camera. He was snapped among a crowded colony on the North Sea sands at Horsey, in Norfolk by keen amateur wildlife photographer Mark Reeve, 55. Happy as a clam: Something appeared to have tickled this happy seal on the North Sea sands at Horsey, Norfolk . Mr Reeve, of Reydon, near Southwold, Suffolk, said he was able to capture the incredible images after making a 'connection' with the animal who appeared to be in guffaws of laughter as it lay on the beach. 'I just love taking pictures of the seals - they're just such fun creatures,' he said. 'I went up there to see if I could get something different and stand out rather than the same old images of seals on rocks.' Flipper facepalm: The seal was later seen trying to cover his face with a furry flipper as it lay among the crowded colony .

A mental health patient was held in a police cell for almost two days because there were no beds available at nearby hospitals, it has emerged. The patient is one of almost 200 people in Wiltshire held by the county's police force in the last two years because there was no suitable healthcare provision. Meanwhile across the UK last year, 7,000 people with mental health problems ended up being held in police cells. Of those, 236 children and young people were detained alongside criminals. Mental health experts have branded the practice 'shameful', adding it highlights the fact there are not enough suitable crisis beds across the country. A mental health patient in Wiltshire was held in a police cell for almost two days because there were no suitable mental health hospital beds available (file picture posed by model) A Freedom of Information request, submitted by the Swindon Advertiser, reveals the longest holding period in the last two years was 37.5 hours, while a 16-year-old was detained for eight consecutive hours. Ninety-four people were detained in Swindon and Wiltshire in 2013 and in 2014, the figure was 95. Condemning the practice, which is seen across the country, Mark Winstanley, chief executive of mental health charity, Rethink Mental Illness, told MailOnline the situation must change. 'It's scandalous and shameful that thousands of people with mental health problems, including children, are being locked up in police cells because they can't get the care they need,' he said. 'That has to change, because it's costing lives. 'The real problem is that there simply aren't enough suitable crisis services across the country, and where they do exist, they are badly underfunded and overstretched. 'We need much greater investment in crisis care, so that anyone experiencing mental health problems can get quality emergency support close to home, whenever they need it. 'We also want to see more funding for early intervention services, to help people avoid reaching crisis point in the first place. 'Without this urgent reform and investment, the mental health system will continue to fail people when they are at their most vulnerable.' Dr Peter Carter, chief executive of the Royal College of Nursing told MailOnline the practice is just one of the 'detrimental consequences' of severe cuts to mental health services. He said: 'Mental health trusts have had their budgets cut by eight per cent over the last five years, losing 1,500 beds and 3,300 nurses in the process. 'Given these ongoing reductions in funding resources it is no wonder that trusts are struggling to cope. Across the UK last year, 7,000 people with mental health problems ended up being held in police cells, according to mental health charity Rethink Mental Illness . 'Mental health services are under immense pressure, not just in Swindon and Wiltshire, but across the UK. 'The Government promised the equal treatment of mental and physical health but this situation has illustrated just how far this equality currently is from fruition. 'Nurses and other mental health professionals are working tirelessly to provide their patients with high standards of care, but without a rapid increase in funding, resources and understanding, some of the most vulnerable members of society will continue to be failed by the health service.' The responsibility for caring for mental health patients in the county falls to the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership. But when there is a shortage of beds, the police force has step in. Wiltshire Police told the Advertiser its policy is not to put patients in cells, but staff are often left with no other choice. A spokesman said the force signed the national Crisis Care Concordat last year, a national agreement between services and agencies involved in the care and support of people in crisis. He said: 'It specifically states that police officers should not have to consider using police custody as an alternative location if there is a lack of local mental health provision. However, in practice this does still occur but is rare and seen by police as a last resort.' The AWP said the opening of a new unit at Southmead Hospital, in Bristol, would help prevent similar situations in future. A spokesman told the Advertiser: 'The unit has been used by 1,000 people and we have received some great feedback. 'The Place of Safety unit is very well run and is nursing led with medical input. The nursing team focus on giving the service user the least traumatic experience possible and also address their physical health.' Mental illness accounts for 23 per cent of the total impact of ill health in the UK, but gets only 13 per cent of the NHS budget. In addition mental health trusts in England have seen their budgets fall by more than eight per cent in real terms over the course of this Parliament.

(CNN)Comic books of the past few years have seen a lot of changes (a female Thor, anyone?) but not quite so many at one time. Three major characters -- Superman, Wonder Woman (both of DC Comics, a Time Warner company, like CNN) and Archie Andrews -- came out with new looks (and costumes in two cases) Thursday. Superman and Wonder Woman are no stranger to change over time, but these are pretty different from what we're used to. Wonder Woman is back to wearing pants (similar to her style circa 2010, not to mention a brief time in the 1970s) along with something of a turtleneck and body armor. Superman looks the most casual that we've ever seen him, simply in a t-shirt and jeans, and decidedly shorter hair. He also looks like someone you might not want to come across in a dark alley. As for Archie (who never really died, by the way), he's getting ready for his promised TV show by debuting a modern look -- one that makes it much easier to see why Betty and Veronica have been fighting for his affections all of these years. It's been a whirlwind time for comic book fans, and there will be a lot to get used to.

Host commentator . That's it from Sportsmail's live El Clasico Q&A. Thanks for following and thank you for some brilliant questions. Until next time! Pete Jenson: A lot depends on who makes a move and on how much they are willing to pay. If a club bid £90million for Bale or £65m for Ronaldo (bearing in mind he is 30), I think Real Madrid would consider it. Ronaldo because it would make economic sense and Bale because it would not be unpopular with Real supporters. They definitely won’t sell both! And quite possible both will stay but it will be an interesting summer, especially if they win nothing and supporters are demanding an overhaul of the squad. Pete Jenson: The better players were in playing the Clasico and yet the best goal of the six that were scored came at Anfield from Juan Mata. I enjoyed both games. There were away fans in the Liverpool vs Manchester United game – that is something that is always missing from a Clasico. Pete Jenson: Fair assessment, yes. Ronaldo was as motivated as I’ve seen him recently. Perhaps a week of talk about Messi being the greatest ever had contributed to that. He also helped set the tone of the first half with the at run at Alves as soon as he got the ball. He took his goal well and was one of those Madrid players who didn’t deserve to be on the losing side. Messi had a strange night. He seemed to be staying out on Marcelo’s wing because that is where there is usually plenty of space. But Madrid pressed so well he didn’t see a great deal of the ball. He certainly didn’t run the game as he did against Manchester City. But I agree once Modric and Kroos had faded in the second half he began to impose himself. Pete Jenson: It was the 42nd Clasico he’d played some part in – no Barcelona player has played in more. What he always contributed was calm. By Spanish football standards Barça vs Madrid games are usually very frenetic and yet he always seemed to have an extra second of time and a extra yard of space. He’ll come back to this fixture as Barcelona manager one day, you can count on it. Pete Jenson: The most shameful thing about it is that we have seen incidents in recent years of players collapsing on the pitch and sometimes even dying. So to feign serious injury is pretty unforgivable. I don’t mind the roll-over-ten-times merchants so much because it has a certain comic value, but the hand over the face when actually you’ve just been hit in the shoulder is very tiresome. Pete Jenson: He was poor in the first half and it was his miss just before Ronaldo equalised that made the game such a contest. He improved in the second half but I think sometimes the more frenetic and physical the game the more he tends to just get bumped around the pitch. You have to give him some credit for that double-breasted red leather blazer he was wearing after the game though. I don’t think he’s very happy for several reasons. Firstly he is not really sure why scoring the winning goals in the Copa del Rey final and the Champions League final last season does not seem to have earned him any respect from the club’s supporters – he gets whistled in at the Bernabeu if he puts one pass out of place and so-called ‘fans’ have tried to kick out at his car when he drives away from the training ground (it happened again in the early hours of this morning). He is also not too sure why when he was such a success as an out-and-out forward last season he is being asked to do a more defensive job this year. CLICK HERE to read the full story as angry Madrid fan attacks Bale's car . Pete Jenson: He wants to come back to England, no doubt about it. Arsenal would give him all the job security he has missed out on at first Chelsea and now Madrid. Paul Clement would I’m sure go with him back to his home city and Arsenal – who seem terrified that if they move Wenger on they will stop qualifying for the Champions League – would have a coach who has won the competition three times. It all sounds perfect, I don’t know why the wheels have not already been set in motion! Pete Jenson: In one sense he doesn’t have to adapt that much because this Barca does not play like the old Pep Guardiola, Barca. We saw that last night with their goals coming from a long ball and a set play. He has also come through the Ajax school, and Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool don’t exactly play like Harry Basset’s Wimbledon so a fast passing game is not exactly alien to him. It’s more about striking that fine balance between being selfish when the goal is gaping, and not ignoring his pal Messi when he is in a better position than him. Pete Jenson: Immense. Pique has developed a reputation over the last couple of years for being more focussed on his poker hand or his online games business than his football but he has blown away those theories this season. The greatest compliment paid to him last night was that he played like Carles Puyol. He will always be very different from his old central defensive partner but in terms of concentration and throwing himself in front of the ball when he had too it was a real leader’s performance. Pete Jenson: No one stays in the job very long. They had 25 managers in the 25 years that Sir Alex Ferguson was at Old Trafford and old habits die hard. It’s incredible to think that Ancelotti hasn’t been immortalised by adoring supporters after winning ‘La Decima’ but he hasn’t and unless they win the league or the Champions League this season there will be a change. Zidane will almost definitely manage Real Madrid one day. It could happen this summer but that will be down to him deciding if he is ready as much as anyone else putting him in charge. Pete Jenson: Bale is at his best when he is given free reign going forward. Last night in the first half he was asked to play wide right in a four-man midfield as opposed to up-top in the three of a 4-3-3. He put a decent shift in but if he’s working back he can’t also be on Jordi Alba’s shoulder waiting to pull away. This is why I still think from a purely football perspective he could still be tempted by a move to a club where he would be the star striker with fewer defensive responsibilities. He also faded last night because the team did – Modric and Kroos both ran out of juice in the second half and the team suffered. Pete Jenson: It’s been a long time since I can remember seeing him dive. I think the Premier League cured him of that. And he is also alongside Messi now, and Messi very rarely dives. But he does lay it on a bit thick sometimes when he goes down I agree. Look at it from his perspective though, he is up against Ramos and Pepe, both are clattering him at every opportunity for 90 minutes; and Pepe enjoys the dramatics too. So if a little exaggeration gets him one extra favourable decision from the referee then he sees it as fair game. Pete Jenson: It was tough for him at first because he could no longer be as single-minded as he was at Liverpool. In the Premier League he knew that when the ball came to him his responsibility was to just to take the quickest route to goal. At Barcelona he’s got Neymar on one side, Messi on the other and he tried too hard at first to be unselfish. But Barcelona need him to be selfish sometimes and last night when Alves played the ball forward there was only one thing on his mind. I’m not sure he’ll score as many goals as he did at Liverpool in one season – but he will score more important ones.

Tough Mudder, which was started by two Harvard Business School graduates in 2010, is an endurance event series which now takes place all over the world. Despite the rather unpleasant obstacles, the events have become so popular that many of them sell out weeks in advance. One participant at Sunday's Tough Mudder in California explained why he had signed up for a second year running. 'It's about being with your friends, pushing through. Everyone here is your friend, everyone's your family. That's all there is to it. Anyone can do it,' he told Ruptly TV. At the end of the course, contestants are rewarded with a Tough Mudder sweatband and an ice cold beer. At most events, Tough Mudder also offers tattoos of its logo to all finishers who want to commemorate their achievement. The event founders highlight that Tough Mudder is a 'personal challenge' and not a race, therefore no-one is timed and no medals are given out. However, participants generally finish the booby-trapped tracks in around three hours. The next Tough Mudder events are set to take place on May 2 and 3 in London, Texas and Atlanta. The average age of contributors is 29, with 70 per cent male and 30 per cent female.

Despite the rather unpleasant obstacles, the events have become so popular that many of them sell out weeks in advance. One participant at Sunday's Tough Mudder in California explained why he had signed up for a second year running. 'It's about being with your friends, pushing through. Everyone here is your friend, everyone's your family. That's all there is to it. Anyone can do it,' he told Ruptly TV. At the end of the course, contestants are rewarded with a Tough Mudder sweatband and an ice cold beer. At most events, Tough Mudder also offers tattoos of its logo to all finishers who want to commemorate their achievement. The event founders highlight that Tough Mudder is a 'personal challenge' and not a race, therefore no-one is timed and no medals are given out.

The average age of contributors is 29, with 70 per cent male and 30 per cent female.

Britain's First World War debt has finally be repaid in full – more than 100 years after the outbreak of the conflict. The Government repaid some £1.9billion still owed to more than 100,000 people who held 'War Bonds', issued in 1917 to help fund the military effort. George Osborne said he could pay off the debts because he can borrow the money cheaper elsewhere. More than 100 years after it started, the First World War debt has been paid off by the Coalition government . The Government was paying 3.5 per cent in interest to the 120,000 people who bought the bonds in 1917. The Debt Management Office estimates that Britain has paid some £5.5 billion in total interest on the loans since 1917. Current low interest rates mean the Government is able to pay off the debt with new bonds which pay a much lower rate of interest. Mr Osborne said: 'This is a moment for Britain to be proud of. We can, at last, pay off the debts Britain incurred to fight the First World War. 'It is a sign of our fiscal credibility and it's a good deal for this generation of taxpayers. It's also another fitting way to remember that extraordinary sacrifice of the past.' British artilleryman in action during the Battle of the Somme in France in 1916 . British soldiers negotiating a shell-cratered landscape along the River Somme in late after the close of the Allied offensive . The debt repayment comes after the Government repaid £218million of debts from the First World War in October – the first time that the government paid off the war's debts in 67 years. The Tories claim that Britain can borrow at such low interest rates because the Government has got a grip of the public finances and international investors know they will get their money back if they lend it to the UK. They claim the Labour Party's spending plans would see billons added to the national debt. Treasury Secretary David Gauke said: 'There is a clear choice at this election: sticking with the competence and stability of David Cameron and the Conservatives' long-term economic plan that's securing a better future for Britain – the deficit has been halved, there are 1.85 million more people with the security of a regular wage and the economy is recovering from Labour's Great Recession. British soldiers in a trench in France with paper hats from Christmas crackers while a sentry uses a mirror to keep watch on No Man's Land . 'Or abandoning that plan for the SNP and Labour with hardworking taxpayers paying the price for the economic chaos that would result.' The warning came after Labour's shadow chancellor Ed Balls claimed George Osborne's spending plans would mean £70billion of cuts – more than double the amount admitted by David Cameron and George Osborne. He said if the Tories were to keep to their promises to protect spending on health, schools and overseas aid, this would mean the Foreign Office and Department for Transport being shut down altogether. Mr Balls said the government's cuts were 'so extreme that they would lead to the smallest police force since comparable records began, the smallest army since Cromwell and over a third of older people receiving social care losing their entitlement to it'. He added: 'The Tories now have a choice. They can either say that these unprecedented, extreme and close-to- impossible cuts to our police, armed forces and social care are the true consequences of their spending plans,' he said. 'Or they can confess that their plans are in fact impossible to achieve without breaking their promise to protect the NHS. 'If David Cameron and George Osborne cannot spell out how their sums add up for non-protected departments in order to achieve their fiscal surplus, the British people can only conclude - and would be right to conclude - that alternative plans do exist: to cut NHS spending and introduce charging. 'David Cameron and George Osborne must come clean or the British people will draw their own conclusions.'

(CNN)Two Los Angeles police officers were wounded in gunfire late Sunday, and police told local media they believe the officers were targeted. They were on duty in South L.A., when gunfire erupted in the early evening, grazing both of them, said Officer Cory Meisner. They both sustained minor injuries and were treated at the scene. One of the officers had to have bullet fragments removed from his arm later, according to the LAPD. The Los Angeles Times reported that the officers had been driving through the neighborhood dressed in plain clothes. The officers returned fire, and several suspects scattered, Det. Meghan Aguilar told the newspaper, adding that the officers believed that they were targeted. But a public information officer for the LAPD disputes that possibility. "The officers were in plain clothes," Rosario Herrera told CNN. "This cannot be called targeting. The narcotics officers from the 77th division were driving in an unmarked police vehicle around 64th and Broadway when they were shot at and they returned fire." Three individuals were detained for questioning, according to Herrera, but were not arrested. The names of the injured officers have not been released.

It was a case of Cristiano Ronaldo winning his battle with Lionel Messi but Barcelona emerging victors in the war with Real Madrid after El Clasico at the Nou Camp on Sunday in Spain. Goals from Jeremy Mathieu and Luis Suarez gave Barcelona a 2-1 win to move four points ahead of Madrid atop La Liga with 10 games remaining but it was only Ronaldo who got his name on the scoresheet, after a quieter display by Messi's imperious standards. Messi appeared relaxed in the tunnel, dabbling in conversation with his Barcelona team-mates, his fleece zipped up to his chin. Ronaldo stood poised, staring forward. The Nou Camp was an inferno, shrouded in gold, purple and blue with the 99,000 supporters in fearsome voice as the two superpowers of global football marched out on the pitch. Cristiano Ronaldo got on the scoresheet but it was Lionel Messi who was happiest after El Clasico . Messi (left) provided the assist for Barcelona's first goal in El Clasico from Jeremy Mathieu . Mathieu (right) headed in to give Barcelona the lead after only 19 minutes against Real Madrid . Messi (second right) celebrates assisting Barcelona taking the lead against Madrid . Cristiano Ronaldo (left) poked Real Madrid level after 31 minutes, completing a tremendous move . Ronaldo (second left) watches on as he brings Madrid level against arch rivals Barcelona . Ronaldo's first touch of the ball after 40 seconds was met with searing jeers by the Barcelona fans. He was eventually crowded out by Dani Alves and Ivan Rakitic and the dispossession of Madrid's talisman was met with emphatic cheers. Messi's start was subdued, the diminutive Argentina international lingering quietly in the centre of the pitch, exchanging the occasional pass with Andres Iniesta in the first five minutes. But he snapped into life in the sixth minute with a nutmeg on Madrid playmaker Toni Kroos. Six minutes later, the first clear chance of the game fell to Ronaldo, who escaped his defender on the back post but could only turn Karim Benzema's deft lob onto the crossbar with Claudio Bravo beaten. He should have scored and Barcelona were off the hook. Messi was still awaiting his first opportunity to get at Madrid's defence. Nutmeg aside, his first 15 was perhaps best summed up by Iniesta uncharacteristically hitting a looping pass over his team-mate, who had found space out on the right touchline. But two minutes later, Messi had the ball at his feet and he surged inside, picked out Neymar and burst into the area, where he met the cross with his head but sent it wide. Barcelona's breakthrough came on 19, and Messi had the assist. Suarez was fouled on the left, Messi whipped a glorious ball into the area and Mathieu flicked it past Iker Casillas to give Luis Enrique's side the lead. It was Messi's 15th assist of the season and Ronaldo's miss after 12 minutes already appeared costly. The goal galvanised Barcelona and Suarez drew a foul from Pepe two minutes after the opener and Messi seized the ball again. This time he was central and 25 yards out but his effort was deflected out for a corner which came to nothing. Neymar missed a glorious chance for 2-0 on the half hour mark, meeting a ball across goal from Suarez six yards out, only to guide his effort safely into the hands of Casillas with the goal gaping.

Ronaldo (right) wheels away to celebrate after scoring for Madrid against Barcelona . Ronaldo (right) celebrates bringing Madrid level against Barcelona in the La Liga clash . Ronaldo hit the crossbar from close range with the scores goalless at the Nou Camp . It was a shocking miss and 30 seconds later, Madrid were level. Ronaldo led the surge forward and as Benzema collected possession on the right of the penalty area, the Portugal international continued his run through the centre. Benzema sensed his presence and picked out his run with a glorious swish of his heel. Ronaldo hit fifth gear to beat Bravo to the ball, poking it under the goalkeeper to haul Madrid level as the jeers spewed out at the Nou Camp. Eight minutes before half time, Ronaldo picked up the ball on the left and skipped past Alves but with Javier Mascherano and Gerard Pique closing him down, Ronaldo went tumbling. Television replays showed that Pique momentarily left his boot dangling, perhaps to entice a Ronaldo fall but the referee's decision to book the Madrid man was correct. In the 40th minute, Ronaldo thought he had assisted a goal from Gareth Bale, who poked Ronaldo's header into the back of the net. Bale was definitely onside but Ronaldo was not and the goal was rightly ruled out. But the Madrid man was finishing the first half in scintillating form. A ferocious shot from 30 yards out was tipped over by Bravo and Bale skewed a shot wide from the corner. As the second half began, it seemed Messi was in the shadow of Ronaldo. Madrid undoubtedly ended the first period of play in the ascendency. Messi (left) of Barcelona closes down Madrid defender Pepe in the first half at the Nou Camp .

And it was Ronaldo who was involved in the first incident of the second phase, returning the ball into Benzema in a probing attacking move, before Bravo dived to his left to beat out the France striker's clever shot across goal. Messi was drifting deep to find the ball, and Mascherano picked out his compatriot on the halfway line on 52 minutes. He turned and sprinted at the heart of Madrid's back line and Luka Modric reached for the ball with his leg but only managed to clip Messi's heels. The free kick failed to worry Madrid like Messi's sprint forward did. Four minutes later, Barcelona went ahead with a tremendous finish from Suarez. The Uruguay striker was found by a forensic pass by Alves, who spotted Suarez had escaped the attention of Pepe and had curved his run to stay on side. The ball was floated over, Suarez caressed it under control with the outside of his boot and threaded it across Casillas and into the far corner. Ronaldo might have been worried after a clash with Mascherano on the hour mark.

Again out on the right, he ran inside and sprinted ominously through the centre before unleashing a fine strike from the edge of the area that went the wrong wide of the post with Casillas beaten. Barcelona manager Luis Enrique thought the shot was in and a minute later, he must have been certain his team were about to add to their advantage. Messi was again the engineer, perhaps buoyed by his attempt seconds earlier. With Suarez to his left and Neymar to his right, Messi played in the Brazil international, who blazed wide on an unusually wasteful night from the former Santos man. The pair combined again on 77, this time Messi shooting at goal but his low, right-footed strike was blocked and Madrid cleared. Benzema almost punished Barcelona and Messi for spurning their chances when his shot from 25 yards deflected wickedly off Mascherano, but Bravo managed to turn the ball away brilliantly.

<s>[INST] It was a case of Cristiano Ronaldo winning his battle with Lionel Messi but Barcelona emerging victors in the war with Real Madrid after El Clasico at the Nou Camp on Sunday in Spain. Goals from Jeremy Mathieu and Luis Suarez gave Barcelona a 2-1 win to move four points ahead of Madrid atop La Liga with 10 games remaining but it was only Ronaldo who got his name on the scoresheet, after a quieter display by Messi's imperious standards. Messi appeared relaxed in the tunnel, dabbling in conversation with his Barcelona team-mates, his fleece zipped up to his chin. Ronaldo stood poised, staring forward. The Nou Camp was an inferno, shrouded in gold, purple and blue with the 99,000 supporters in fearsome voice as the two superpowers of global football marched out on the pitch. Cristiano Ronaldo got on the scoresheet but it was Lionel Messi who was happiest after El Clasico . Messi (left) provided the assist for Barcelona's first goal in El Clasico from Jeremy Mathieu .

Cristiano Ronaldo (left) poked Real Madrid level after 31 minutes, completing a tremendous move . Ronaldo (second left) watches on as he brings Madrid level against arch rivals Barcelona . Ronaldo's first touch of the ball after 40 seconds was met with searing jeers by the Barcelona fans. He was eventually crowded out by Dani Alves and Ivan Rakitic and the dispossession of Madrid's talisman was met with emphatic cheers. Messi's start was subdued, the diminutive Argentina international lingering quietly in the centre of the pitch, exchanging the occasional pass with Andres Iniesta in the first five minutes. But he snapped into life in the sixth minute with a nutmeg on Madrid playmaker Toni Kroos. Six minutes later, the first clear chance of the game fell to Ronaldo, who escaped his defender on the back post but could only turn Karim Benzema's deft lob onto the crossbar with Claudio Bravo beaten. He should have scored and Barcelona were off the hook. Messi was still awaiting his first opportunity to get at Madrid's defence. Nutmeg aside, his first 15 was perhaps best summed up by Iniesta uncharacteristically hitting a looping pass over his team-mate, who had found space out on the right touchline. But two minutes later, Messi had the ball at his feet and he surged inside, picked out Neymar and burst into the area, where he met the cross with his head but sent it wide. Barcelona's breakthrough came on 19, and Messi had the assist. Suarez was fouled on the left, Messi whipped a glorious ball into the area and Mathieu flicked it past Iker Casillas to give Luis Enrique's side the lead. It was Messi's 15th assist of the season and Ronaldo's miss after 12 minutes already appeared costly. The goal galvanised Barcelona and Suarez drew a foul from Pepe two minutes after the opener and Messi seized the ball again. This time he was central and 25 yards out but his effort was deflected out for a corner which came to nothing. Neymar missed a glorious chance for 2-0 on the half hour mark, meeting a ball across goal from Suarez six yards out, only to guide his effort safely into the hands of Casillas with the goal gaping.

Ronaldo hit the crossbar from close range with the scores goalless at the Nou Camp . It was a shocking miss and 30 seconds later, Madrid were level. Ronaldo led the surge forward and as Benzema collected possession on the right of the penalty area, the Portugal international continued his run through the centre. Benzema sensed his presence and picked out his run with a glorious swish of his heel. Ronaldo hit fifth gear to beat Bravo to the ball, poking it under the goalkeeper to haul Madrid level as the jeers spewed out at the Nou Camp. Eight minutes before half time, Ronaldo picked up the ball on the left and skipped past Alves but with Javier Mascherano and Gerard Pique closing him down, Ronaldo went tumbling. Television replays showed that Pique momentarily left his boot dangling, perhaps to entice a Ronaldo fall but the referee's decision to book the Madrid man was correct. In the 40th minute, Ronaldo thought he had assisted a goal from Gareth Bale, who poked Ronaldo's header into the back of the net. Bale was definitely onside but Ronaldo was not and the goal was rightly ruled out. But the Madrid man was finishing the first half in scintillating form. A ferocious shot from 30 yards out was tipped over by Bravo and Bale skewed a shot wide from the corner. As the second half began, it seemed Messi was in the shadow of Ronaldo.

Over the course of his career, Michael Chopra’s net-finding abilities have cost clubs in excess of £9million in transfer fees. Once tipped as Alan Shearer’s heir apparent during his formative days at Newcastle United, he made a fortune in English football, lost a chunk of it through a well- publicised gambling addiction, and most recently played in the Indian Super League with Kerala Blasters. Now, in a move that caused Scottish football to perform a collective double take, Chopra has joined Championship strugglers Alloa Athletic until the end of the season. Michael Chopra appears for Alloa Athletic for the first time against Rangers at Ibrox on Tuesday . The 31-year-old made his debut as an injury-time substitute during Tuesday night’s 2-2 draw with Rangers at Ibrox, confirming that this remarkable coup by a part-time club hadn’t actually been some form of elaborate hoax. Among the many questions that sprang up from his appearance in a black-and-gold jersey, a simple one seemed the most obvious: Why? ‘Once I finished in India, my main objective was to get back and I’ve been looking around at what leagues I could play in,’ said Chopra, a former England youth international who was most prolific during two spells at Cardiff City. ‘The last week I’ve been training at Port Vale and I got a phone call on Monday asking if I would like to come to Alloa, and I jumped at the chance. ‘This isn’t a financial thing because I could have got more money from one of the offers I had in England but I just want to play and get some goals. Chopra (right) comes on as a substitute during the second half of the Scottish Championship match . Chopra speaks on his phone as he walks on the pitch ahead of the Rangers match on Tuesday . ‘It’s a challenge for me but, if I can help keep Alloa in the Championship, then it will have been well worth it. ‘I’m also desperate to play in the Petrofac Training Cup Final (against Livingston on April 5) because I’ve never actually won anything in the game and it would be brilliant if we won that. People ask me if I even knew of Alloa but I did — I actually watched them beat Rangers 3-2 on the telly earlier in the season! ‘I loved it at Ibrox the other night when I got a couple of minutes. I can’t believe Alloa are where they are in the league. ‘I’ve never played in Scotland before but I thought the standard was good and the fitness levels unbelievable when you consider we’re part-time. ‘Honestly, I played for Blackpool admittedly during some hard times for that club (last season) but this Alloa team is better than that Blackpool one. Alan Shearer (right) celebrates with Chopra after scoring for Newcastle against Wigan in April 2006 . ‘And here at least you know the guys will give 100 per cent. You know you will get a shift from the guy next to you and that’s not always been the case elsewhere.’ Chopra hopes his influence will also be felt outside of match scenarios. His aim is to copy the illustrious names who aided his own career by helping develop the more youthful players at Recreation Park. ‘I remember when I was at Newcastle and I was a young boy, I was playing with Alan Shearer, Michael Owen and Patrick Kluivert and they gave me the best experience possible,’ recalled Chopra. ‘They made me the player I am today and I’ll be looking to try and help all the young boys at the club and passing my experience on. ‘I will stay up here a lot of the time, although I’m going back to Newcastle this weekend because my son plays football and I can’t miss his game! ‘Otherwise, I will be up here training and playing, and I’m hoping to be able to train with St Mirren on a Friday if that can be finalised. ‘I’m also going to be coaching the kids on a Wednesday night. I want to put something back in and community coaching will be good.’ Chopra celebrates a goal for Sunderland against Middlesbrough at the Stadium of Light in September 2008 . Chopra (centre) in action for Cardiff against Dagenham and Redbridge in the Carling Cup first round in 2009 . Chopra’s advice may also extend to the perils of gambling. During a court case in 2013, he estimated he had blown around £2m through the vice. He was still a teenager when involved in card games on the Newcastle team bus that could see up to £30,000 in cash change hands. Chopra also claimed the main reason he joined Sunderland in 2007 was because the signing-on fee would pay off his debts. His situation deteriorated to such a point that he told the court he had been threatened by loan sharks at the Ipswich Town training ground during a later stint in Suffolk. Chopra then sought help from the Sporting Chance clinic, the facility set up by former England defender Tony Adams to treat behavioural problems such as alcohol, drug and gambling addictions in professional and amateur sports people. ‘I’ve had problems, well- documented ones, in the past but I’ve moved on,’ he insisted. ‘Everyone makes mistakes and I certainly made some but I’ve put all that behind me. I’m trying to be positive, I’ve cleaned up my act and I’m on the straight and narrow.’ Chopra isn’t discounting still being at Alloa next season and clearly has a genuine hunger to be scoring again after an injury-scarred spell in India. Chopra warms up ahead of a match between Blackpool and Birmingham at Bloomfield Road in February 2014 . Chopra (left) plays for Kerala Blasters against Atletico de Kolkata in the Indian Super League last December . ‘That was a great experience,’ he said. ‘My dad is Indian, so that made it more interesting as well. Unfortunately I suffered a hamstring injury early on and then I ruptured my ankle ligaments, but it was still great seeing it all. ‘My team-mates included Stephen Pearson and Jamie McAllister. I spoke to Jamie about this move the other night and he was very encouraging. ‘Now I just want to give it my best shot and help Alloa as much as I can — and if things go well I certainly wouldn’t rule out staying on. Alloa are very ambitious. ‘But right now I am only thinking about playing and doing well and I haven’t spent too much time thinking of what will happen beyond the summer.’ Key to the completion of one of the most fascinating transfers of the season was Lee Ebden, Alloa’s head of player recruitment. Chopra (left) shakes hands with Alloa caretaker manager Paddy Connolly at Ibrox on Tuesday . ‘I heard Michael could be available through my contacts and, after that, I did a bit of homework — including speaking to Chris Hutchins, who was assistant manager at Ipswich when Michael was there — and got glowing references,’ said Ebden. ‘Chairman Mike Mulraney was very supportive as always and gave me the go-ahead. ‘Michael is within our budget. He will get the same bonus as the other lads if we stay in the Championship and, if he helps us do that, then he will have been well worth the effort. ‘We’ve made a massive statement because we are desperate to stay in this league and then look to do better next season when, who knows, Michael could still be with us.’

The likes of Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Anne Hathaway and Mila Kunis may be huge Hollywood stars now, but at one point they would have all been struggling actors hoping to get their big break. And for many young actors a job in an advertisement was the best way to make a quick buck whilst they waited for Spielberg to call. Not all jobs in advertising were hugely glamorous, but you've got to pay the rent some how, right? We take a look at the commercials the stars might rather forget... Scroll down for video . Mark Ruffalo was in a Clearasil advert for facial pads in 1989 as a fresh-faced 22-year-old . Mark Ruffalo . Once upon a time, 13 Going on 30 and Shutter Island actor Mark Ruffalo, now 47, played a spotty teen (he was really 22 at the time) running around the streets in a leopard print waistcoat for Clearasil in 1989. Sporting a curly mop, the 'acne-prone' Ruffalo is distressed with his complexion, and is shown solemnly smearing the Clearasil pads on his face with a deadpan expression. In the next shot, he is back to wreaking havoc on the streets with a cheesy grin. Anne Hathaway . 32-year-old brunette beauty Anne Hathaway may have won an Oscar for her role in Les Misérables, but before Hollywood blockbusters were a regular part of her schedule she was starring in adverts for regional phone company, Cincinatti Bell. Mid-Nineties Hathaway is seen cringing after a date as she calls her friend on a multi-line phone, while her onscreen mother natters away on another line. In case you were wondering, her 'date' does eventually call. Anne Hathaway was in a TV ad for internet phone company, Cincinatti Bell, in the late Nineties . This awkward date advert would have come about 15 years before Anne's Oscar success . Leonardo DiCaprio . It might be impossible to imagine the established 40-year-old actor as anything but one of the Hollywood greats, but The Wolf Of Wall Street star used to make his money in bubblegum adverts. With a high-pitched voice, bouncy curtains and a goofy checkered blazer, little 14-year-old Leo is seen popping gum and rocking out in front of a large hi-fi system. Curtain call! Leonardo DiCaprio at the age of 14 in an advert for Bubble Yum bubblegum in 1988 (left) and now as a 40-year-old . Before his big break, the four-time Oscar-nominated actor used to advertise gum . Naomi Watts . Almost unrecognisable sporting an uncontrollable perm, the Mulholland Drive and King Kong actress Naomi Watts starred in an Australian advert for Tampax tampons in the Eighties. She awkwardly deals with an array of puberty difficulties: her bothersome younger brother, her irritated complexion, but according to the advert, one thing that doesn't bother her is her 'time of month'. Naomi would have been about 16 at the time that this advert came out. Cue tons of cheesy grins and wide collar suits from a now 46-year-old Naomi Watts. Check out that perm! Naomi Watts starred in a tampon commercial for Tampax in the 1980s . The clip features tons of Eighties clichés including hair bows and wide-collar suits . Brad Pitt . Before he became a hot commodity in Hollywood and one half of the power couple that is 'Brangelina', Brad Pitt, now 51, was out patrolling the streets looking for Pringle-popping ladies to impress, or so this commercial shows. Brad sports a golden tan and cavorts with his 'jock' friends in a yellow convertible; he would have been about 25 years of age. With no dialogue, Brad can only showcase his acting prowess by munching the crisps in a ecstatic manner. Brad Pitt featured in a cheesy advert for Pringles crisps in 1988. He is one of three topless men in the video . The famous Hollywood actor would have been just 25-years-old at the time and still trying to catch his lucky break . Sarah Michelle Gellar . She may be widely recognised as stake-toting high-kicking Buffy the vampire slayer, but 38-year-old Sarah Michelle Gellar started her career as a child actor, and starred in Burger King's first ever televised advert in 1981. Pictured in sweet lavender dungarees and ribbon-held bunches, four-year-old Gellar sits on a picnic bench in an idyllic town and weighs up Burger King's benefits against McDonald's disadvantages. In a endearing voice she pips: 'I go to Burger King!' Fast-food slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar in a Burger King in 1981 at only four years old . Bryan Cranston . Considering his now-legendary status following a starring role in Breaking Bad (he counts stars like Rihanna and Keith Richards as fans), Bryan Cranston's Eighties hemorrhoids advert is certainly one of the most embarrassing. Cranston, now 59, walks up to the camera in a retro suit and holds up a tub of hemorrhoid cream, raving about 'hemorrhoidal tissue' and the cream's beneficial qualities. In the early 1980s Bryan Cranston starred in a commercial for a hemorrhoid cream Preparation H around 25 years or so before Breaking Bad success . Demi Moore . Before 52-year-old Ghost actress Demi Moore had the Hollywood body everyone aspired to achieve, she starred as a less polished youth in sultry Coca Cola adverts. With soft jazz music playing, a shoulder-padded Demi has an almost fatal incident with a Diet Coke can, but which ultimately leads her to meeting a handsome gentleman. Demi would have been about 26 years old at the time. Actress Demi Moore featured in a Diet Coke commercial in 1988 . Ben Affleck . Now a twice Oscar-winning actor/director, 42-year-old Ben Affleck has certainly come a long way since his fast-food days. The advert shows Affleck sporting a bouncy quiff, bomber jacket and bleached denim, patrolling the streets in a car with a vintage in-built phone. The actor would have only been about 17 at the time. A few cheesy hair-grooming moments and a case of mistaken identity later and he's picking up a Burger King Chef Salad for his female interest. But before long is called home by his dad for his curfew. Embarassing. In 1989 Ben Affleck was in a Burger King commercial. He would have been about 17 at the time . Bruce Willis . It's hard to imagine 60-year-old Die Hard actor Bruce Willis shimmying down the street in a white baggy suit with three supermodels, but in the late Nineties his advert for Seagram's Wine Coolers tells a different story. The actor would have been around 32 years of age and is pictured playfully skipping and twirling with the ladies. He is eventually seen sporting a sleeveless t-shirt and enthusiastically playing the harmonica. Before his action-packed glory days, Bruce Willis made his name in an advert for Seagram's Wine Coolers in 1987. This was about a year before he appeared in his career-making lead role in Die Hard . Mila Kunis . Four years before Mila Kunis, now 31, got her big break in sitcom That '70s Show, and several years before she was crowned FHM's Sexiest Woman Alive, she was just another girl who liked to play with dolls - and starred in an advert for Glitter Hair Barbie in 1994. 11-year-old Mila is seen fresh-faced with a plait in her long hair, sporting a pink turtleneck and excitedly gazing at the doll that can have glitter combed into its locks. Mila Who-nis? Mila Kunis used to star in commercials such as this one for Glitter Hair Barbie in 1994, when she was about 11 years old .

<s>[INST] The likes of Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Anne Hathaway and Mila Kunis may be huge Hollywood stars now, but at one point they would have all been struggling actors hoping to get their big break. And for many young actors a job in an advertisement was the best way to make a quick buck whilst they waited for Spielberg to call. Not all jobs in advertising were hugely glamorous, but you've got to pay the rent some how, right? We take a look at the commercials the stars might rather forget... Scroll down for video . Mark Ruffalo was in a Clearasil advert for facial pads in 1989 as a fresh-faced 22-year-old . Mark Ruffalo . Once upon a time, 13 Going on 30 and Shutter Island actor Mark Ruffalo, now 47, played a spotty teen (he was really 22 at the time) running around the streets in a leopard print waistcoat for Clearasil in 1989. Sporting a curly mop, the 'acne-prone' Ruffalo is distressed with his complexion, and is shown solemnly smearing the Clearasil pads on his face with a deadpan expression. In the next shot, he is back to wreaking havoc on the streets with a cheesy grin. Anne Hathaway . 32-year-old brunette beauty Anne Hathaway may have won an Oscar for her role in Les Misérables, but before Hollywood blockbusters were a regular part of her schedule she was starring in adverts for regional phone company, Cincinatti Bell. Mid-Nineties Hathaway is seen cringing after a date as she calls her friend on a multi-line phone, while her onscreen mother natters away on another line. In case you were wondering, her 'date' does eventually call. Anne Hathaway was in a TV ad for internet phone company, Cincinatti Bell, in the late Nineties . This awkward date advert would have come about 15 years before Anne's Oscar success . Leonardo DiCaprio . It might be impossible to imagine the established 40-year-old actor as anything but one of the Hollywood greats, but The Wolf Of Wall Street star used to make his money in bubblegum adverts. With a high-pitched voice, bouncy curtains and a goofy checkered blazer, little 14-year-old Leo is seen popping gum and rocking out in front of a large hi-fi system. Curtain call! Leonardo DiCaprio at the age of 14 in an advert for Bubble Yum bubblegum in 1988 (left) and now as a 40-year-old . Before his big break, the four-time Oscar-nominated actor used to advertise gum . Naomi Watts . Almost unrecognisable sporting an uncontrollable perm, the Mulholland Drive and King Kong actress Naomi Watts starred in an Australian advert for Tampax tampons in the Eighties. She awkwardly deals with an array of puberty difficulties: her bothersome younger brother, her irritated complexion, but according to the advert, one thing that doesn't bother her is her 'time of month'. Naomi would have been about 16 at the time that this advert came out. Cue tons of cheesy grins and wide collar suits from a now 46-year-old Naomi Watts. Check out that perm! Naomi Watts starred in a tampon commercial for Tampax in the 1980s . The clip features tons of Eighties clichés including hair bows and wide-collar suits . Brad Pitt . Before he became a hot commodity in Hollywood and one half of the power couple that is 'Brangelina', Brad Pitt, now 51, was out patrolling the streets looking for Pringle-popping ladies to impress, or so this commercial shows. Brad sports a golden tan and cavorts with his 'jock' friends in a yellow convertible; he would have been about 25 years of age. With no dialogue, Brad can only showcase his acting prowess by munching the crisps in a ecstatic manner. Brad Pitt featured in a cheesy advert for Pringles crisps in 1988. He is one of three topless men in the video . The famous Hollywood actor would have been just 25-years-old at the time and still trying to catch his lucky break . Sarah Michelle Gellar . She may be widely recognised as stake-toting high-kicking Buffy the vampire slayer, but 38-year-old Sarah Michelle Gellar started her career as a child actor, and starred in Burger King's first ever televised advert in 1981. Pictured in sweet lavender dungarees and ribbon-held bunches, four-year-old Gellar sits on a picnic bench in an idyllic town and weighs up Burger King's benefits against McDonald's disadvantages. In a endearing voice she pips: 'I go to Burger King!' Fast-food slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar in a Burger King in 1981 at only four years old . Bryan Cranston . Considering his now-legendary status following a starring role in Breaking Bad (he counts stars like Rihanna and Keith Richards as fans), Bryan Cranston's Eighties hemorrhoids advert is certainly one of the most embarrassing. Cranston, now 59, walks up to the camera in a retro suit and holds up a tub of hemorrhoid cream, raving about 'hemorrhoidal tissue' and the cream's beneficial qualities. In the early 1980s Bryan Cranston starred in a commercial for a hemorrhoid cream Preparation H around 25 years or so before Breaking Bad success . Demi Moore . Before 52-year-old Ghost actress Demi Moore had the Hollywood body everyone aspired to achieve, she starred as a less polished youth in sultry Coca Cola adverts. With soft jazz music playing, a shoulder-padded Demi has an almost fatal incident with a Diet Coke can, but which ultimately leads her to meeting a handsome gentleman. Demi would have been about 26 years old at the time. Actress Demi Moore featured in a Diet Coke commercial in 1988 . Ben Affleck . Now a twice Oscar-winning actor/director, 42-year-old Ben Affleck has certainly come a long way since his fast-food days. The advert shows Affleck sporting a bouncy quiff, bomber jacket and bleached denim, patrolling the streets in a car with a vintage in-built phone. The actor would have only been about 17 at the time. A few cheesy hair-grooming moments and a case of mistaken identity later and he's picking up a Burger King Chef Salad for his female interest. But before long is called home by his dad for his curfew. Embarassing. In 1989 Ben Affleck was in a Burger King commercial. He would have been about 17 at the time . Bruce Willis . It's hard to imagine 60-year-old Die Hard actor Bruce Willis shimmying down the street in a white baggy suit with three supermodels, but in the late Nineties his advert for Seagram's Wine Coolers tells a different story. The actor would have been around 32 years of age and is pictured playfully skipping and twirling with the ladies. He is eventually seen sporting a sleeveless t-shirt and enthusiastically playing the harmonica. Before his action-packed glory days, Bruce Willis made his name in an advert for Seagram's Wine Coolers in 1987. This was about a year before he appeared in his career-making lead role in Die Hard . Mila Kunis . Four years before Mila Kunis, now 31, got her big break in sitcom That '70s Show, and several years before she was crowned FHM's Sexiest Woman Alive, she was just another girl who liked to play with dolls - and starred in an advert for Glitter Hair Barbie in 1994. 11-year-old Mila is seen fresh-faced with a plait in her long hair, sporting a pink turtleneck and excitedly gazing at the doll that can have glitter combed into its locks. Mila Who-nis? Mila Kunis used to star in commercials such as this one for Glitter Hair Barbie in 1994, when she was about 11 years old .

Warm applause fluttered around Wembley as Harry Kane slowly jogged up the touchline in the first half, but on the pitch Danny Welbeck was putting in a performance to indicate he is in no mood to step aside anytime soon. Roy Hodgson’s selection of Welbeck ahead of the in-form Kane in England Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania divided opinion across the nation ahead of kick-off. Should he have started the hot-shot Spurs striker, joint-top in the Premier League with Diego Costa on 19 and with 29 in all competitions? Or Welbeck who has been performing well for the national team but in-and-out of Arsenal’s starting line-up, struggling to eight goals in 34? Danny Welbeck leads the celebrations after putting England 2-0 ahead against Lithuania on Friday . Welbeck's header deflects into the back of the net to send England into a commanding lead . Welbeck is congratulated by England captain Wayne Rooney after scoring his sixth of the qualfying campaign . Former England striker Ian Wright thought the former. ‘Gutted that Harry Kane's not starting,’ he said before kick-off, ‘29 goals, form of his life.’ But within six minutes, the Arsenal man had justified the choice with a huge hand in the opener. Welbeck started on the left, but was to the right of goal when he nutmegged Lithuania’s Tadas Kijanskas with some nifty footwork and fired a shot across goal, which keeper Giedrius Arlauskis could only parry into the path of Wayne Rooney to head in. He almost set up a second on 19 minutes, again getting to the byline on the right before crossing deep to Rooney, who looped a header back across goal and on to the post. Welbeck was bright and alive around the box and got the goal his first-half performance deserved just before the break. Jordan Henderson crossed from the left and he diverted it in off a shoulder via a deflection. They all count. Welbeck caused the Lithuanian defence problems all evening and justified his selection . Welbeck is congratulated by former Manchester united team-mate Wayne Rooney after doubling the lead . Kane may be the latest boy wonder, yet Welbeck is the top-scorer in this Euro 2016 qualifying campaign. His goal moved him to six for the tournament, clear of Israel’s Omar Damari on five. Doubles against Slovenia and Switzerland, a goal versus San Marino and another against Lithuania is not a bad return. Say what you will about the strength of the opposition, but players can only score against what is put in front of them. Hodgson certainly recognised his value, choosing Welbeck as one of only four players - alongside Rooney, Gary Cahill and Nathaniel Clyne - to start from the last team he picked. Dat Guy Welbz, as he was dubbed by Ravel Morrison providing a nickname that went viral, did not let his manager down. He was close to adding another on 41 minutes, riding a challenge and bending a shot towards the top right corner from the edge of the box which was narrowly over. Welbeck is the first to congratulate debutant Harry Kane after scoring two minutes after coming on . Welbeck celebrates with Rooney after he turns home the rebound after the Arsenal striker's effort was saved . And again in the 54th, beating two men on his way into the penalty area to the right of goal and powering a shot on target which was pushed out for a corner. He would surely have had a second had Raheem Sterling not arrived in the box a fraction earlier to tap in England’s third. This may only have been Lithuania, the team ranked 94th in the world, but Welbeck’s passing was crisp and accurate, his runs inventive and movement fluid. An indication of his confidence was a clever back-heel flick in the middle of a quick England passing exchange early in the second half. England’s front three of Welbeck, Rooney and Raheem Sterling were swapping places all evening causing havoc to Lithuania’s defenders. Welbeck was substituted for Theo Walcott in the 77th minute, but the sponsors had seen enough to vote him their man-of-the-match. Kane may have scored within two minutes of coming on, but, for now, Welbeck will be going nowhere in the big games.

Ants may be the perfect workers - they share chores, solve complex problems and work to the death without complaint. And now the behaviour and appearance of nature’s most diligent insect has been emulated in plastic and metal, with the creation of BionicANTS. German engineers have crafted machines that mimic the cooperative behaviour of a colony, because the robots can make individual decisions as well as work as a team. Scroll down for video . German engineers have crafted mechanical ants (shown) that mimic the cooperative behaviour of a colony because the robots can make individual decisions as well as work as a team . The robots (pictured), which are around the size of a human hand, have been developed by German engineering firm Festo . The robots, which are around the size of a human hand, have been developed by German engineering firm Festo. And they are capable of manoeuvring objects, hinting that such robots could one day replace humans as factory workers. The firm said: ‘For the first time, the cooperative behaviour of the creatures has also been transferred to the world of technology using complex control algorithms.’ The machines work together to complete difficult tasks, such as manipulating a large object, as real ants do in nature. They do this by using a stereo camera fitted in each robot’s head which helps an individual ant locate and identify target objects. An ant can then pick it up using serrated grippers below its head. Sensors enable an ant to be aware of its surroundings and the robotic insects communicate over a wireless network to coordinate their actions. The robots have plastic, 3D printed bodies with electric circuits printed on top, (pictured) while their legs and grippers are ceramic actuators which can bend precisely and easily using little energy . ‘Like their natural role models, the BionicANTs work together under clear rules,’ said Dr Ing Heinrich Frontzek, head of future concepts at the firm. ‘They communicate with each other and coordinate both their actions and movements. ‘Each ant makes its decisions autonomously, but in doing so is always subordinate to the common objective and thereby plays its part towards solving the task at hand.’ Amazon has launched a competition encouraging engineers to create its next generation of shelf-picking robots. Bots will battle it out at the ICRA conference in Seattle in May. 'The challenge combines object recognition, pose recognition, grasp planning, compliant manipulation, motion planning, task planning, task execution, and error detection and recovery,' Amazon said. Participating robots will earn points by locating products on shelves, retrieving them and putting them into cardboard boxes ready to be sent to customers. Points will be deducted for dropped or damaged good and the team that creates the winning robot will win $26,000 (£17,463). Amazon currently uses robots by Kiva Systems to fetch items so its human workforces doesn’t have to walk as far in its vast warehouses. But its machines can't pick and pack products yet. The robots have plastic, 3D printed bodies with electric circuits printed on top, New Scientist reported, while their legs and grippers are ceramic actuators which can bend precisely and easily using little energy. The aim of the project is to create intelligent bots that could work in factories, taking over production jobs from humans. This is not as far-fetched as it may seem. Amazon already uses an army of 15,000 robots in its huge warehouses to pick up items ordered by customers. ‘Each ant makes its decisions autonomously, but in doing so is always subordinate to the common objective and thereby plays its part towards solving the task at hand (pictured)’ the company said . The BionicANTS will go on show at Hannover Messe - the world’s largest industrial technology fair - in April, along with other creations such as the firm’s robotic butterflies (pictured) Festo's bionic butterflies are incredibly light and are able to fly as a collective. Ten cameras installed in the room record the butterflies using infrared markers. They transmit this position data to a computer, which coordinates the artificial insects' flight.

Swimmers will soon be able to wear the snorkel-meets-headset to feel as if they are diving in Caribbean or Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, when they are only floating in their local swimming pool. Called the Nautilus VR, the waterproof device is designed to work with a smartphone and has a built-in snorkel for an immersive experience so swimmers don't have to think about breathing underwater. Scroll down for video . Swimmers can wear a snorkel-meets-VR headset to feel as if they are diving in Caribbean or Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, when they are only floating in their local swimming pool . It will allow wearers to swim alongside a blue whale or 100-year-old turtle as well as look at virtual coral and even encounter icebergs or sharks. The waterproof 'mask' fits over a person's face and has two eye holes to let them see the screen. The head mounted display has a slot for a smartphone, which provides the visual trickery, in a similar way to Google’s Cardboard or Samsung’s Gear VR. It relies on the Nautilus Platform app so users can choose different scenes. The head mounted display has a slot for a smartphone, which provides the visual trickery, in a similar way to Google’s Cardboard or Samsung’s Gear VR . The headset relies on the Nautilus Platform app so users can choose different scenes, including island Isla Mujeres in Mexico, the Great Barrier Reef, lost city of Atlantis or icebergs. An example is shown . Materials: hypoallergenic silicone, polycarbonate and polypropylene . Case: Waterproof with certificate IP67 . Compatibility: Works with smartphones with screen of 4.7inches to 5.2inches . Features: Natural breathing system and anti-fog crystal lenses . Price: Earlybird price of $69 (£47) via Kickstarter. ‘You will access a fascinating underwater experience with interactive virtual environments and high quality 360 degree videos in an open and collaborative platform,’ the company said. Discover the island Isla Mujeres in Mexico, immerse yourself in the Great Barrier Reef, explore the lost city of Atlantis or dive like never before under giant icebergs.’ While some may worry that using the immersive device in water could be dangerous, the firm shows it being used in a controlled environment like a swimming pool. Remotte, the Californian company behind the device is raising money on Kickstarter to put it into production. It claims that the device is compatible with ‘most’ smartphones, including the iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z3. The app will run on iOs, Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry and Oculus devices and will be compatible with Google Cardboard, meaning it doesn't have to be used by swimmers wearing the headset . The waterproof 'mask' fits over a person's face and has two eye holes to let them see the screen. The snorkel means they can float facing downwards (pictured) without worrying about coming up for air, taking in the virtual scenery as if they were snorkeling on holiday . The firm’s founders were inspired to create the device having experienced the Oculus Rift and wanted to ‘bring the mysteries of underwater worlds to children’ in a bid to teach them to love and respect the environment. ‘They will be able to find detailed information on species and their natural habitat. ‘The platform is available in a special version that can be adapted to tablets, allowing the whole family to find complete information on marine life,’ they added, meaning that the headset doesn’t always have to be used in water.

The Nautilus VR Platfrom is designed to be open and it’s hoped that artists and developers will use it to create their own underwater worlds. The headset, with access to the app, can be pre-ordered on Kickstarter for $69 (£47) with estimated delivery in December. A motorbike brand in Minnesota is offering a virtual reality sit-and-ride experience. Victory Motorcycles is allowing motorcycle enthusiasts to sit on a bike and go for a ride, by wearing an Oculus Rift headset, Mashable reported. Riders go on a simulated journey through the Badlands on Needle Highway - a famous stretch of road cutting though the desert in South Dakota. They sit on a real bike and can use the control as if they were on a real journey, as well as lean from side to side. There is even a 'tactile transducer; to recreate the vibrations of a bike. The experience, created by digital agency space150, is designed to attract visitors at trade shows and make a model feel more appealing . 'If you sit for a ride, you’re more likely to own one of our motorcycles, according to internal studies,' said Lisa Grimm, director of public relations and emerging media at the agency. 'So we wanted to use technology to create something immersive and solve a business challenge.'

Overhang: The cantilevered platform in Chongqing measures 27 metres from the edge of the cliff and 718 metres above the river in the basin below . The spectacular viewing area protrudes nearly 27 metres from the cliff face at the Longgang scenic area - which is five metres longer than a similar tourist attraction at the Grand Canyon in America. Work on the £3.7 million structure started in March last year and workmen can still be seen putting the finishing touches on the terrifying stage. Under construction: Workman stand on the incredible new viewing platform in Yunyang County, China. The observation deck on a 718-metre cliff will be open to anyone who dares in May . Daredevils will no-doubt flock to the transparent structure to get a dizzying peak at the valley floor, a staggering 718 metres below them.

There is always a risk when buying clothes online - sometimes the fabric feels cheap, or the colour just doesn't seem to match how it appeared on screen. Or the fit could be far less flattering in real life than online - as one woman has just discovered. The Chinese shopper bought a risqué black dress - which featured a full length sheer panel - from eCommerce site Taobao. Online shopping fail! A woman in China has been left disgruntled after the daring dress she bought online fell short of her expectations . The gown, a copy of one worn by Thor actress Jaime Alexander at the film's premiere in 2013, features features top-to-bottom see-through panels on the front and back of the dress, which mean concealing the wearer's modesty is something of a challenge. While the customer was hoping to emulate the daring look shown online, the real deal turned out to be less glamorous than she hoped. From sexy to X-rated: The cut-out dress, purchased from eCommerce site Taobao, revealed a lot more than the customer expected . Fully exposed: The full-length sheer panels show off plenty of skin front and back . The unsatisfied shopper posted comparison pictures on the seller's page, showing how the dress revealed far more than she intended. Stretched across a less petite figure, the sheer panel shows off a lot more skin and covers less of her intimate regions, turning what was a daring look into a rather more X-rated one. The shopper's pink slippers do little to help the sartorial situation as they stuck out obviously from underneath her dress, giving her a humorous look. Couture copy: The dress is a copy of one worn by Thor actress Jaimie Alexander at the film's 2013 premiere . Jaimie Alexander made headlines when she walked the red carpet in the designer version of the dress 18 months ago. The actress raised eyebrows as she risked wardrobe malfunctions in every direction, with her daring dress skirting dangerously close to her nipples, bikini line and bottom. However, her washboard stomach and statuesque figure did go some way in helping to pull off the shocking look. This isn't the first time though that disgruntled online shoppers have been let down. Earlier this year many women took to the internet to lament the fact that the dresses they had ordered looked nothing like the pictures they had been shown. Most of those duped were brides looking for an alternative to buying their wedding dress from an expensive bridal store. Many websites offer cheap copies of designer gowns, made in the Far East - but instead of using lace from Chantilly, what arrives is polyester from China. Here are some of the worst...

Lawson admitted stabbing Simon Myers at the Diamond Tap in Newbury, Berkshire, pictured, with a fork . Lawson, from Thatcham, Berkshire, admitted malicious wounding following the incident in the Weatherspoons Free House on December 19, last year. Reading Crown Court heard that the incident happened during a work outing over the festive period. Judge Alexia Durran sought clarification from defence counsel John Simmons on exactly what happened. Judge Durran asked: 'This was a works Christmas party and a man was stabbed in the leg for stealing onion rings from a plate, that’s right isn’t it?' Lawson was unhappy his colleague took an onion ring from his plate (file picture) Mr Simmons replied: 'This is a very peculiar one-off offence. It may be the sort of case where the length of custodial sentence could be suspended and credit should be given for the guilty plea.' Addressing Lawson, Judge Durran said: 'You have pleaded guilty to a serious offence of using a weapon on someone in a public place and Mr Simmons is right to say to me that this may pass the custodial threshold. 'The question is whether a prison sentence can be suspended, allowing for your guilty plea. 'Sentencing is being adjourned for a pre-sentence report. You must be back here on April 22.' Lawson denied one count of wounding with intent and the Crown offered no evidence on that count. Judge Durran said: 'That is a "not guilty verdict" on that count.' The court heard that Mr Myers received treatment for a stab wound to his leg and was later allowed home from hospital.

When Winston was caught looting the fridge for hot dogs, his owner decided this old dog needed to learn some new tricks. So in what looks like a bizarre tribute to Swiss folk hero William Tell, Scott Cromwell got his canine companion to pose with a shiny red apple on top of his head, among other fruity treats. Then he matched the color of the background to the fruit to create this series of eye-catching photos. Don't shoot! Winston looks worried at the prospect this picture may be a preamble to some amateur archery . Sour grapes: The dog appears less than impressed with this set of headgear he's been asked to balance on his snout by owner Scott Cromwell for this series of quirky photograph . Superfoods for a super dog: Winston looks on inscrutably while balancing a mound of blueberries . Leaves a sour taste: Winston looks a little shocked after being persuaded to grip a lime in his jaws . Not impressed: But the loyal dog doesn't flinch even with a slimy half-eaten banana balanced on his bonce . Anticipation: Winston looks like he better get something a little more meaty to justify all this posing . 'Winston's very eager to please me and will do about anything for a treat. He absolutely loved doing these shots,' Mr Cromwell said. 'He knew when we were about to do a shoot and would beat me to the room where I had it set up and be sitting in the exact spot I wanted before I got there. 'Naturally, he loved the fridge shoot too, being that he got to eat a whole package of hotdogs. 'I kept replenishing the one you see him eating with a new one until we went through a package of them, just to make sure I got a good shot.' Mr Cromwell, a TV repairman-cum-animal photographer from Oklahoma City, spent two months working with Winston to create the quirky shots. He had planned to just take a picture of the banana but after he got such a great reaction from people who saw the shots, he could not resist taking more. Now there's a snack I can sink my teeth into... Winston got to scoff a whole packet of hotdogs for this picture . Mr Cromwell said: 'Winston does stick his nose in nearly every time I go to the fridge and open it and that is what gave me the idea, so luckily I never taught him how to open it to get me a beer or he would be in there a lot. 'The pictures have been very well received and are some of my most popular ones. 'Most people love dogs and pictures of dogs done well with a wide angle lens tend to be popular.'

After his heroic performance in the Nou Camp, Joe Hart came out in defence of his manager Manuel Pellegrini, claiming he deserves to keep his job. Manchester City keeper Hart, who made an incredible 10 saves to limit Barcelona to a 1-0 win on Wednesday, admitted that his team-mates were feeling the pressure of speculation about their futures after another European failure. But the England No 1 insisted the players are fully behind their manager as they seek to end their campaign on a high. Joe Hart was in inspired form against Barcelona, pictured here saving from man-of-the-moment Lionel Messi . The Manchester City and England No 1 backed his manager despite the team's last-16 exit . 'We back our manager,' said Hart. 'He is a great manager and brought us two trophies last year. 'Now we have nine games to win, and that's what we hope to do. 'It's always going to be the same at City, for all the players. We appreciate that if we don't win everyone will be speculated about. You have to be strong inside.' Hart was easily City's best player at the Nou Camp, and his immense contribution stopped Barcelona adding to Ivan Rakitic's goal. Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said: 'The score could have been a rout. Hart was really on it towards the end. We had a lot of chances, which is not normal in this type of game. We deserved to win by a bigger goal difference.' Manuel Pellegrini has been beaten four times by Barcelona since becoming Manchester City manager . Ivan Rakitic scored the only goal of the game as Barcelona progressed at Manchester City's expense .

Berti Vogts has teamed up with his former player Jurgen Klinsmann after taking up a role to work behind the scenes with the United States national team. Vogts, who managed Klinsmann during his spell as Germany coach during the 1990s, was hired as technical adviser to the US on Thursday after serving as a special adviser before and during last year's World Cup. In an interview last May, Vogts said he has known Klinsmann since he was 16 or 17 and even takes credit for turning him into the striking sensation he would become. Berti Vogts has joined USA as a technical adviser teaming up again with Jurgen Kilnsmann . Vogts managed Klinsmann when he was in charge of Germany during the 1990s . 'He was a winger and then I told him, "Oh, that's not your best position, you have to play in the middle",' Vogts recalled. 'He did that and he started a big, big career. He is always enthusiastic. He's more American than a German. The Germans are thinking about things. Jurgen is always positive. That's an American way of life. That's good. That's good for the team, good for the sport, good for all of them.' Vogts will oversee the development of players in Europe, and collaborate with Herzog and Matthias Hamann on scouting, talent identification and club relationships. 'We had a fantastic experience with Berti during the 2014 FIFA World Cup,' Klinsmann said in a statement. 'His knowledge and experience is a tremendous asset for us. With Andi Herzog having a big focus on qualifying the U-23 team for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Berti will make an even more important contribution.' USA were beaten 3-2 by Denmark in a friendly on Wednesday night . Former Tottenham striker Klinsmann watches his side during the friendly defeat by Denmark . The 68-year-old Vogts was a defender on West Germany's championship team at the 1974 World Cup and made 96 international appearances in all. He coached his national team from 1990-98, winning the 1996 European Championship with Klinsmann as captain. Vogts also coached Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and the national teams of Kuwait (2001-02), Scotland (2002-04), Nigeria (2007-08) and Azerbaijan (2008-14). 'For me he's been a big mentor throughout my life,' Klinsmann said last year, 'and he just has an outstanding soccer brain, an outstanding knowledge the way he reads the game, the way he analyzes things with his tremendous experience he has, is unquestionable, a huge benefit for us.'

Disgraced Rolf Harris, 84 (pictured with his CBE), has seen his honour annulled at the order of the Queen following his conviction for historic sex abuse . Rolf Harris has finally been stripped of the CBE that was awarded to him by the Queen. The move came eight months after the disgraced former children’s entertainer was jailed for nearly six years for a string of attacks on girls as young as seven. The paedophile, 84, had his honour annulled at the order of the Queen, days after being stripped of his Australian honours. Officials at the Cabinet Office had been accused of dragging their feet over the issue, but sources insisted they had to follow established procedures before removing the gong. An announcement in the London Gazette yesterday stated: ‘The Queen has directed that the appointment of Rolf Harris to be a Commander of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, dated 17 June 2006, shall be cancelled and annulled and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order.’ Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk, who in January raised concerns in the Daily Mail about why Harris still had a CBE, welcomed the news. He said: ‘I am delighted to hear that Rolf Harris has been stripped of his CBE. It is simply unacceptable convicted sex offenders like Rolf Harris should be allowed to make a mockery of our honours system.’ When Harris, who was jailed in July last year for 12 indecent assaults against four girls between 1968 and 1986, was stripped of his Australian honours last week, there was widespread disbelief that he still held his coveted CBE in Britain. It was awarded to him for services to entertainment and the arts, a year after he painted the Queen’s 80th birthday portrait. Scroll down for video . Normal protocol sees honours forfeited where the person is considered to have brought the system into disrepute. A recommendation can be made by the Honours and Appointments Secretariat to the forfeiture committee to revoke an honour if a person has been found guilty of a criminal offence, and the final decision must be approved by the Queen. Harris was first honoured in the late 1960s with an MBE, followed by an OBE a decade later, and a CBE in 2006. During sentencing, Mr Justice Sweeney told him: 'Your reputation lies in ruins. You have been stripped of your honours and you have no one to blame but yourself.' Seven of the 12 counts related to the friend of Harris's daughter Bindi, including one incident when she was 15-years-old when he sexually assaulted her while Bindi slept in the adjacent bed. During his trial, Harris was revealed as a 'Jekyll and Hyde' character who had a dark side to his personality and used his fame to 'mesmerise' underage fans before abusing them with impunity. Scotland Yard said he 'committed many offences in plain sight of people as he thought his celebrity status placed him above the law.' The entertainer's conviction caused widespread revulsion in Australia and Britain, where his television programs were watched by millions of children. The decision by the Honours Forfeiture Committee, published in the London Gazette today (pictured), would have been approved by Prime Minister David Cameron and the Queen before being officially published . All public traces of the entertainer have since been removed from his home town of Bassendean in Western Australia following his convictions, while a plaque outside his childhood home has been demolished. His artworks have also been removed from the council chambers, and his status as a freeman of the city has been revoked. Labour MP Simon Danczuk, who wrote an acclaimed book on the Cyril Smith child sex scandal, was among those who campaigned for the removal of the CBE. He has previously said: 'I find it difficult to understand why it has taken this committee so long. 'A number of paedophiles, of which Rolf Harris is one, have held significant honours, including Jimmy Savile and Cyril Smith. They used their power and cloak of respectability to abuse children.' Last week, Mr Danczuk wrote to Cabinet Secretary Francis Maude asking him for an update on plans to strip Harris of his CBE. He added: 'They have come close to bringing the whole honours system into disrepute, and you would have their honours would have been removed more quickly. 'The Australians acted more quickly against Rolf Harris than we did.' Harris, whose fortune is estimated at £11 million was the second person to be convicted under a wide-ranging police investigation set up in the wake of revelations that the late Jimmy Savile, a fellow BBC star, was a prolific abuser. The former children's entertainer joins the likes of dictators Robert Mugabe and Nicolae Ceausescu and disgraced ex- banker Fred 'the Shred' Goodwin in being stripped of their titles. In January 2012, Mr Gooodwin had his knighthood revoked after he was accused of contributing to the financial crash through his mismanagement of the Royal Bank of Scotland. Honours are usually only removed from people convicted and jailed, but the Cabinet Office said the scale of the RBS disaster - which had to be bailed out to the tune of £45billion by the taxpayer - made the case 'exceptional'. Harris was awarded the CBE in 2006, a year after he painted the Queen's 80th birthday portrait (pictured) In 2008, Mr Mugabe was stripped of his honorary knighthood over his 'abuse of human rights' and 'abject disregard' for democracy, the Foreign Office said. The Queen approved the annulment of Mr Mugabe's knighthood, which was awarded in 1994, on the recommendation of former Foreign Secretary David Miliband. Mr Mugabe was the first foreigner to be stripped of an honorary knighthood since Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu in 1989, the day before his execution by firing squad. In 1979, art historian Anthony Blunt, who was personal adviser to the Queen on art, lost his knighthood after being exposed as a Soviet spy. And in 2007, boxer 'Prince' Naseem Hamed was stripped of his MBE after serving a sentence for dangerous driving. Other recent cases involved a doctor who was struck off following the Bristol Royal Infirmary baby death scandal, a CBE holder who was disqualified from being a company director, and a man who forged the papers that secured him an MBE for 'services to the community'. The forfeiture of a knighthood is a rare event, and in past centuries it could involve a public ceremony of degradation during which the accoutrements of the honour would be stripped from the culprit. This would happen when a knight was found guilty of treachery or treason. In 1468, Sir Ralph Grey was taken to Doncaster where, being found guilty of treason, his 'gold spurs were hewn from his heels while his sword and all his armour were broken'. What is believed to be the last public degradation was in 1621 at Westminster Hall, when Sir Francis Mitchell was found guilty of 'grievous exactions' and had his spurs broken and thrown away, his belt cut and his sword broken over his head. Finally, he was pronounced to be 'no longer a Knight but Knave'. More recently, Sir Roger Casement had his knighthood cancelled during the First World War for treason. He was executed after trying to enlist Germany's help in the Irish independence movement. Count 1: Indecent assault between 5/4/80 and 4/4/81 on girl aged 15 .

In 1979, art historian Anthony Blunt, who was personal adviser to the Queen on art, lost his knighthood after being exposed as a Soviet spy. And in 2007, boxer 'Prince' Naseem Hamed was stripped of his MBE after serving a sentence for dangerous driving. Other recent cases involved a doctor who was struck off following the Bristol Royal Infirmary baby death scandal, a CBE holder who was disqualified from being a company director, and a man who forged the papers that secured him an MBE for 'services to the community'. The forfeiture of a knighthood is a rare event, and in past centuries it could involve a public ceremony of degradation during which the accoutrements of the honour would be stripped from the culprit. This would happen when a knight was found guilty of treachery or treason. In 1468, Sir Ralph Grey was taken to Doncaster where, being found guilty of treason, his 'gold spurs were hewn from his heels while his sword and all his armour were broken'. What is believed to be the last public degradation was in 1621 at Westminster Hall, when Sir Francis Mitchell was found guilty of 'grievous exactions' and had his spurs broken and thrown away, his belt cut and his sword broken over his head. Finally, he was pronounced to be 'no longer a Knight but Knave'. More recently, Sir Roger Casement had his knighthood cancelled during the First World War for treason. He was executed after trying to enlist Germany's help in the Irish independence movement. Count 1: Indecent assault between 5/4/80 and 4/4/81 on girl aged 15 .

March 16, 2014. Liverpool travel away from Anfield for a game that will shape the destiny of their season and Brendan Rodgers' confidence is telling. 'If we beat them, they cannot do it,' Rodgers proclaims ahead of a trip to Old Trafford. He had just been asked what the consequences would be if Manchester United, who were trying desperately to keep pace in the race for the Champions League, lost to Liverpool. His words are backed up by a swaggering display, full of devilment, wit and counter-attacking menace. Manchester United are left punch-drunk by a 3-0 defeat that could have been even heavier, as Steven Gerrard – with two pressure penalties – and Luis Suarez ran amok. Steven Gerrard scored two penalties as Liverpool won 3-0 at Manchester United on March 16, 2014 . Luis Suarez (bottom) was also on the scoresheet as Liverpool built a 14-point gap over their arch-rivals . Liverpool headed home that afternoon with a 14-point gap over their rivals in the Barclays Premier League and had effectively destroyed any lingering hope that David Moyes had of commandeering a top four spot. It was a day when Rodgers saw his players make a massive statement of intent, a day that suggested there was a shift in the balance of power of this rivalry; leaving Old Trafford then, you felt it would be a long time before the deficit would be clawed back. Fast forward to March 16, 2015. Again Liverpool were away from Anfield for a vital fixture and again Rodgers' confidence in the build-up was telling but, this time, there was no performance of verve and invention to back up his pre-game message. There was, however, doggedness, determination and the result was just as crucial. Jordan Henderson's freak goal, coming after they had spent much of a rain-sodden night in South Wales riding their luck and defending for their lives, has set them up for another afternoon of destiny with their most bitter foe. Jordan Henderson scored a second-half winner for Liverpool as they won 1-0 at Swansea on Monday night . Henderson runs off to celebrate his winner that moved Liverpool within two points of the top four . Henderson's (right) shot was deflected over the top of Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski and into the net . The goal was Henderson's (right) third in the last three Premier League games for Liverpool . No trophy will be presented at Anfield next Sunday but there is the sense that the winner of Liverpool and Manchester United's latest showdown will take all in relation to the final spot in next year's Champions League. It is going to be another day of reckoning. Do not underestimate how much Liverpool needed this result at the Liberty Stadium. They have stylishly worked their way into contention for the top four with a long unbeaten run but United's victory over Tottenham had threatened to alter the landscape. What if a loss in Wales and had then be follow up with a defeat at Anfield? Such a scenario would have left bleak consequences for Liverpool. Those result would have left them with an eight-point deficit and not enough time to claw it back, especially with some tricky assignments looming. As it is, they go into English football's Clasico brimming with confidence, two points behind United but ready to leapfrog Louis van Gaal's men. They will need to step up on what they produced against Swansea to topple United but Rodgers has a glint in his eye and faith in his team. Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge (centre) tries to wriggle away from a challenge from Swansea's Jack Cork . Liverpool might not have last year's electric swagger but they certainly know how to fight and, in some ways, the results they have put together since losing at Old Trafford on December 14 have been just as impressive as their unexpected title-charge. Nobody proved that determination more than Henderson, who emerged from a difficult first 45 minutes to keep on running and score the decisive goal, his challenge on Jordi Amat looping over Lukasz Fabianski's head to leave Rodgers' punching the air. Henderson keeps on producing these important moments. For all the noise that is being created around Raheem Sterling and his contract stand-off, the most pressing contractual issue Liverpool have is with their vice-captain. He has scored in each of his last three Premier League games and has led the team with distinction in Gerrard's absence. Young, hungry, talented English players like him are not ten-a-penny and it would be folly to let this drift. Liverpool should really get this business concluded.

Porto right back Danilo is set to join Real Madrid. Reports in Spain had claimed the 23-year-old was at the centre of a tug-of-war between the La Liga giants and Manchester United. However, Sportsmail understands there was no serious interest from the English club and that Danilo is currently in advanced talks with the Champions League winners. Danilo, in action last month for Porto against Vitoria, is close to completing a £27million move to Real Madrid . His representatives met with Madrid officials last week and held further talks with Porto to underline the player's wish to leave and an announcement is thought to be imminent. Danilo's contract has 16 months left to run and Porto have made attempts to get him to agree a new deal. The Brazilian right back (left) puts in a challenge on former Benfica midfielder Nemanja Matic last January . He played in the Dragons' 3-0 win over Sporting on Sunday night before picking up a yellow card and being substituted with six minutes to play.

Patrick Bamford scored three goals at the iPro Stadium during a successful loan last season that helped Derby County reach Wembley. He claimed another here of an entirely different complexion. The 21-year-old striker, borrowed from Chelsea, delivered the cutting edge to send Middlesbrough five points clear of their promotion rivals. Having taken stick all game from Derby fans who once cheered him, he revelled in celebrating his defining contribution. Too right. Patrick Bamford celebrates as the Chelsea loanee strikes to earn Middlesbrough all three points . In the 64th minute the hosts were caught attempting to play the ball out from the back. Lee Tomlin nicked possession and threaded a pass to send Bamford clear. He stretched to reach it before Lee Grant and looked like he may go over when the Derby goalkeeper spread himself. Instead he kept his feet and his head, slotting a neat finish from a tight angle. His 16th goal of the season. Quite a way to end St Patrick’s Day. George Friend celebrates with Bamford as the away side secure all three points against Derby County . This result will hurt Steve McClaren as much as it satisfies Aitor Karanka. Aiming for automatic promotion, Derby are faltering. The roar from the visiting section at the final whistle told a story. So did the solemnness with which Derby fans vacated their seats. They look set for the play-offs again at this rate. The visitors so nearly took the lead in spectacular style five minutes before the interval. Grant raced out of his area to intercept a long punt forward but only succeeded in sending his weak clearance to the boot of Jelle Vossen. VIDEO Derby's free fall . Will Hughes of Derby and Adam Clayton compete for the ball during the Championship match . From 40 yards out the Belgian controlled in an instant and lofted the ball high towards the goal. The capacity home crowd seemed to hold its breath as the shot hung in the air, only letting go when the ball dropped to bounce back off the post and into Grant’s arms. It was not a first half to savour for either of these teams with Premier League aspirations. Beginning the match two points apart in fourth and third, Derby and Boro both played as if anxious to avoid defeat rather than seize victory. Quality was low, the ball often sent to the skies. Johnny Russell of Derby and Ben Gibson of Middlesbrough both do their best to win the ball . Derby (4-3-3): Grant 6; Christie 6 (Thomas 75’ 5), Keogh 6.5, Albentosa 5.5, Forsyth 6; Hughes 6.5, Hanson 6 (Hendrick 70’ 5), Bryson 6.5; Ince 6.5, Russell 6, Ward 6 (Lingard 70’ 5) Booked: Christie, Hughes, Bryson . Subs not used: Roos, Dawkins, Shotton, Warnock . Manager: Steve McClaren 6 . Middlesbrough (4-2-3-1): Konstanopolous 6; Kalas 6, Woodgate 6.5, Gibson 6.5, Friend 5.5; Clayton 6.5, Leadbitter 6; Adomah 6.5 (Nsue 90’), Vossen 6.5 (Forshaw 81’), Tomlin 6.5 (Reach 86’), Bamford 7 . Booked: Vossen, Clayton . Subs not used: Ripley, Kike, Whitehead, Omeruo . Manager: Aitor Karanka 7 . Referee: Andy D’Urso 6 . Man of the Match: Patrick Bamford . The double absence of Chris Martin and Darren Bent clipped Derby of their attacking focus in the previous three games leading to defeat and two draws. Johnny Russell made a fist of playing the striker’s role again but as a natural winger he does not possess the hold up ability of Martin or predatory instinct on Bent. Middlesbrough’s form entering this match was quite literally hit and miss: win followed loss in their past six games. They have struggled away from the Riverside before this. Derby held greater possession but did not create a much. Their best opening of the first half came in the 15th minute when Tom Ince whipped a cross to the back post to Jamie Ward, who was unable to apply the killer touch from two yards. Boro went straight down the other end with Bamford slipping in Albert Adomah to strike for goal. Grant beat away that effort and then did well to save Bamford’s follow-up too. Five minutes after the break simmering tensions sparked into a mass melee when Jamie Hanson left Grant Leadbitter on the floor with a tackle. When referee Andy D’Urso blew for a stoppage, Vossen squared up to Hanson, prompting a dozen or so to get involved. Vossen and Cyrus Christie were booked for their parts. Bamford had a chance to score before he did, miscuing badly from Adomah’s cross. But the mark of a good striker is showing confidence the next time. Bamford did that. Clayton beats his man to the ball as Middlesbrough secure all three points away against Derby . After his goal McClaren made three changes seeking to salvage something. Jesse Lingard came on and had Derby’s best chance, but dragged wide when the ball fell his way in the box. In injury time Bamford could have doubled his tally, finding himself with a clear run at goal as Derby poured forwards. But as he closed in on Grant, Richard Keogh arrived to block his shot wide. No matter, he was still the match winner.
Patrick Bamford struck in the second-half to earn Middlesbrough the win . Chelsea loanee scored in the 64th minute to secure all three points . Win boosts Championship's side chances of reaching the big time . Derby now without a Championship win in their last five matches .

Instead he kept his feet and his head, slotting a neat finish from a tight angle. His 16th goal of the season. Quite a way to end St Patrick’s Day. George Friend celebrates with Bamford as the away side secure all three points against Derby County . This result will hurt Steve McClaren as much as it satisfies Aitor Karanka. Aiming for automatic promotion, Derby are faltering. The roar from the visiting section at the final whistle told a story. So did the solemnness with which Derby fans vacated their seats. They look set for the play-offs again at this rate. The visitors so nearly took the lead in spectacular style five minutes before the interval. Grant raced out of his area to intercept a long punt forward but only succeeded in sending his weak clearance to the boot of Jelle Vossen. VIDEO Derby's free fall . Will Hughes of Derby and Adam Clayton compete for the ball during the Championship match . From 40 yards out the Belgian controlled in an instant and lofted the ball high towards the goal. The capacity home crowd seemed to hold its breath as the shot hung in the air, only letting go when the ball dropped to bounce back off the post and into Grant’s arms. It was not a first half to savour for either of these teams with Premier League aspirations. Beginning the match two points apart in fourth and third, Derby and Boro both played as if anxious to avoid defeat rather than seize victory. Quality was low, the ball often sent to the skies. Johnny Russell of Derby and Ben Gibson of Middlesbrough both do their best to win the ball . Derby (4-3-3): Grant 6; Christie 6 (Thomas 75’ 5), Keogh 6.5, Albentosa 5.5, Forsyth 6; Hughes 6.5, Hanson 6 (Hendrick 70’ 5), Bryson 6.5; Ince 6.5, Russell 6, Ward 6 (Lingard 70’ 5) Booked: Christie, Hughes, Bryson . Subs not used: Roos, Dawkins, Shotton, Warnock . Manager: Steve McClaren 6 . Middlesbrough (4-2-3-1): Konstanopolous 6; Kalas 6, Woodgate 6.5, Gibson 6.5, Friend 5.5; Clayton 6.5, Leadbitter 6; Adomah 6.5 (Nsue 90’), Vossen 6.5 (Forshaw 81’), Tomlin 6.5 (Reach 86’), Bamford 7 . Booked: Vossen, Clayton . Subs not used: Ripley, Kike, Whitehead, Omeruo . Manager: Aitor Karanka 7 . Referee: Andy D’Urso 6 . Man of the Match: Patrick Bamford . The double absence of Chris Martin and Darren Bent clipped Derby of their attacking focus in the previous three games leading to defeat and two draws. Johnny Russell made a fist of playing the striker’s role again but as a natural winger he does not possess the hold up ability of Martin or predatory instinct on Bent. Middlesbrough’s form entering this match was quite literally hit and miss: win followed loss in their past six games. They have struggled away from the Riverside before this. Derby held greater possession but did not create a much. Their best opening of the first half came in the 15th minute when Tom Ince whipped a cross to the back post to Jamie Ward, who was unable to apply the killer touch from two yards. Boro went straight down the other end with Bamford slipping in Albert Adomah to strike for goal. Grant beat away that effort and then did well to save Bamford’s follow-up too. Five minutes after the break simmering tensions sparked into a mass melee when Jamie Hanson left Grant Leadbitter on the floor with a tackle. When referee Andy D’Urso blew for a stoppage, Vossen squared up to Hanson, prompting a dozen or so to get involved. Vossen and Cyrus Christie were booked for their parts. Bamford had a chance to score before he did, miscuing badly from Adomah’s cross. But the mark of a good striker is showing confidence the next time. Bamford did that. Clayton beats his man to the ball as Middlesbrough secure all three points away against Derby . After his goal McClaren made three changes seeking to salvage something. Jesse Lingard came on and had Derby’s best chance, but dragged wide when the ball fell his way in the box. In injury time Bamford could have doubled his tally, finding himself with a clear run at goal as Derby poured forwards. But as he closed in on Grant, Richard Keogh arrived to block his shot wide. No matter, he was still the match winner. [/INST] Patrick Bamford struck in the second-half to earn Middlesbrough the win . Chelsea loanee scored in the 64th minute to secure all three points . Win boosts Championship's side chances of reaching the big time . Derby now without a Championship win in their last five matches . </s>
An Emmy-winning talk show host has been fired by Spanish-language TV station Univision after he compared the First Lady to a character from Planet Of The Apes on live television. Rodner Figueroa, who's known for his biting fashion commentary, made the racially insensitive remark on the entertainment news show El Gordo Y La Flaca on Wednesday.

Rodner Figueroa, left, made the racially insensitive remark on the entertainment news show El Gordo Y La Flaca on Wednesday . Figueroa, 42, was talking about how Ballesteros had transformed himself into the First Lady when said: 'Well, watch out, you know that Michelle Obama looks like she's from the cast of Planet Of The Apes, the movie.' When hostess Lili Estefan countered with 'What are you saying?' and host Raul de Molina said Obama was very attractive, Figueroa defended his remark, saying 'but it is true.' The show aired live on the East Coast, but his remarks were edited out of the version broadcast for the West Coast, reports Latino Voices. Later Figueroa co-hosted the evening gossip show Sal Y Pimienta, but by Wednesday night his photo had already been removed from the network's website.

On Thursday he issued an open letter apology to Michelle Obama. In it he claimed his comments were taken out of context and that as a member of a 'bi-racial Latin family' he isn't a racist, reports Latin Times.

Dear First Lady Michelle Obama, . I offer my sincerest apologies for a comment that I made about the characterization from a make-up artist that I made about you in the Univision entertainment program El Gordo y La Flaca. I want to make it clear that I'm not racist and it was directed personally to you, but to the characterization of the artist, that left a lot to be desired. The clip in full context is proof. I feel embarrased, I ask for forgiveness, because there is no excuse for a professional like me to make those types of comments that can be interpreted as offensive and racist in a volatile moment that we live in our country. I take responsibility for this lack of judgement in my part, but I can't accept that I am being called a racist and being fired for that reason and being humiliated by Univision after working there for 17 years. I come from a bi-racial Latin family, with family members, like my father, who is Afro-Latino. I am the first presenter on Hispanic TV that is openly gay and I am an activist for causes that favor minorities, that have been discriminated against just like me. I openly voted twice for your husband Barack Obama, because I consider him a great man that respects minorities, like me, in this country. I worked on two Univision shows where I commented about celebrity style, including the real family and Latin first ladies and I have never offended anybody because of their skin color, sexual orientation or nationality. I am a decent person, but a human in the end that makes mistakes like this one. Although the comment was unpleasant and out of line I do not deserved being called a racist and I have to defend myself for respect and love to my family, my father, my fans and my community. I was notified verbally that due to a complaint from your office I was fired. An information leak from Univision executives, I was condemend in social media, trying to destroy my career in an unfair manner, without letting me know personally and without an investigation that would allow to clear up the situation. Again, I offer my humble forgiveness for the misinterpreation and I assume the responsibility. Yours respectfully, . Rodner Figueroa .

In a sport increasingly dominated by statistical analysis and calm dissection of performances it was reassuring to hear Dan Cole discuss the depth of anger felt by England’s players on reviewing their Ireland no-show. Cole, one of the few England stars to depart Dublin with his reputation enhanced last Sunday, revealed the extent of the frustration within the England squad at their misfiring display when their Grand Slam dream was broken by a series of tactical and technical blunders. Stuart Lancaster’s men held a debrief on Tuesday at their five-star Pennyhill Park retreat in Surrey and the video analysis made for uncomfortable viewing. Dan Cole has revealed the frustration felt by England's squad as they relived the Ireland defeat . Chief among their concerns was the spectacular first-half line-out fail which saw England hooker Dylan Hartley throw straight to 6ft 10in Ireland lock Devin Toner at the back when a clean catch and drive would have almost certainly yielded points. England’s repeated disciplinary infringements also led to a 13 to eight penalty deficit and Cole admits watching the match again was deeply frustrating. ‘There is room for emotion because you are frustrated with the game and there were a few things we’ve gone over,’ he said. ‘We didn’t plan to do a lot of the stuff that we did. Trust me we didn’t train what we did at the weekend. We didn’t do that on the training field. ‘There is that frustration and it comes out in anger or whatever from coaches and players because they are frustrated in that regard. It is not just a cool, calm dissection – sometimes it is but if a point needs to be raised it is talked about. England failed to take their chances and made some basic errors, before being punished by the Irish . ‘It was interesting, it was good, it was honest. I think there were some areas – a lot of areas obviously – where we didn’t perform like we should have done.’ Ireland outmanoeuvred England by denying them scrummaging opportunities and by failing to implement the expected ‘choke tackle’, therefore denying the visitors the chance to play to their strengths. Their British Lion half-back pair of Johnny Sexton and Conor Murray controlled field position with some outstanding tactical kicking. When England did have a chance to gain a foothold in the game, Hartley’s wayward throw to Toner cost them dear after George Ford opted to kick a kickable penalty to the corner. Cole was one of the few Englishmen to come out of the defeat in Dublin with any credit . ‘That line-out was a frustration. In international rugby if you get a set piece in the opposition 22 and especially 5m out you have to take it,’ Cole added. ‘You don’t really get another chance like that against sides like Ireland, and we didn’t really get one. I’m not saying that the game changed on that but it was an emotional swing. 'They steal the ball and the crowd lifts up. You score there and it is a different mentality. It wasn’t the reason we lost the game but next time we’ll probably throw away from the 6ft 10 bloke with long arms!’ The England prop will hope his side can bounce back against Scotland at Twickenham next week . While South African referee Craig Joubert took exception to much of England’s work at the break down, Lancaster and his team hope Frenchman Romain Poite will be more forgiving at Twickenham against unfancied Scotland next Saturday. Cole added: ‘Referees have their strengths and weaknesses, just like players do. Set-piece, open play, some refs will let you play stuff, others won’t. There is a variance but it is a case of being as clean as you can. If you are positive in your actions, you will be on the right side of the referee.’

Sportsmail takes a look at 10 things we have learned from a weekend of international fixtures and reflects on a selection of interesting rumours from the Football League. 1. Ashley Williams was on Arsenal’s radar for ages before signing a new four-year deal at Swansea last summer, but a move to the Emirates fell through supposedly because he wasn’t considered Champions League quality. The 30-year-old has made a nonsense of that verdict since with his performances for Wales. Brilliant in a defiant defensive display when they gained a 0-0 draw away to Group B favourites Belgium in November, the Welsh captain was again outstanding in the 3-0 win in Israel which put Chris Coleman’s side top of the group. While Gareth Bale grabbed the headlines, Williams was superb at the back. He gave the ball away only twice in 90 minutes – and won it back both times. Ashley Williams (right, pictured with Gareth Bale) was in impressive form during Wales' win against Israel . 2. John Terry is clearly a far more decent bloke than the various unsavoury episodes of his past would suggest. At the age of 34 and with a back that needs constant treatment, Chelsea’s captain could have done with a weekend off after playing all but four of Chelsea’s 45 games so far this season. But he gave up his time to play 45 minutes of Steven Gerrard’s All Star charity game supporting various good causes in the Merseyside area. Terry was also first to agree to play when Stiliyan Petrov ran out a sell-out game in Glasgow 18 months ago to raise funds for Leukaemia research. John Terry, pictured with Mario Balotelli, played 45 minutes of Steven Gerrard's All Star charity match . 3. Nathaniel Clyne might have to rein in some of the attacking instincts that have worked so well for him at Southampton when he’s wearing an England shirt. The 23-year-old is beginning to look like a natural at right back for Roy Hodgson after winning his third cap in the 4-0 win over Lithuania. But Hodgson clearly asked Clyne to keep his position to let opposite full back Leighton Baines do most of the marauding forward. The Everton man played 53 passes in the forward half, nearly twice the number (28) that Clyne did. England ace Nathaniel Clyne may have to keep his position in order to let Leighton Baines maraud forward . 4. Portugal might have gone top of Group I with their 2-1 victory over Serbia but new boss Fernando Santos could do with finding some fresh talent for his squad. Seven of the side that started the game, including Cristiano Ronaldo, were already in their country’s senior squad for Euro 2008. Portugal have failed to significantly freshen up their international squad since Euro 2008 . 5. There must be something about the north London air because if Harry Kane can’t stop scoring goals, the same is true of Olivier Giroud. Arsenal’s centre forward, who has 11 goals from 13 starts for his club since the start of 2015, was on the scoresheet again for France as they beat Denmark 2-0 in a Sunday night friendly. Kane, certain to get his first full England start in Italy after his dramatic 79-second debut goal against Lithuania, has 14 from 14 starts for Spurs since New Year’s Day. Harry Kane and Olivier Giroud flew the flag for north London by scoring for England and France respectively . 6. Andrew Robertson’s return from injury could be a key in helping Hull battle away from the relegation zone in the last two months of the season. The 21-year-old left back, picked up from Dundee United last summer by Steve Bruce for a bargain £2.8million, showed he is back to full match fitness with a dazzling display for Scotland. He played 100 passes in all during the win over Gibraltar, with 93 of them reaching a team-mate – and 49 of them in the attacking half of the field. Hull full back Andrew Roberton impressed against Gibraltar following his return to full match fitness . 7. Notts County say they are going to name a new manager this week with 50-year-old Dutchman Ricardo Moniz, once on Tottenham’s coaching staff, the current bookies’ favourite to get the job. They might be better off forgetting that and sticking with the experienced figure of Paul Hart who stepped up from working with the Academy for a one-off day as caretaker boss against relegation rivals Scunthorpe. The 61-year-old made a dramatic difference, lifting County out of the relegation zone with a 2-2 draw – and only a late Niall Canavan goal stopped him taking all three points. Notts County look set to appoint former Tottenham coach Ricardo Moniz following Shaun Derry's exit . 8. Midfielder Daniel Johnson was the big star when Aston Villa’s youngsters reached the quarter-finals of the NextGen series in 2012, but despite sitting on the bench as an unused sub for a few times could never find a way to the first team when Paul Lambert was in charge. He finally gave up trying to earn a Premier League chance in January and signed for Preston. After scoring in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Fleetwood, he now has six goals in 12 games – and must wonder how he’d have fared if he’d hung on for the Tim Sherwood regime. Daniel Johnson, pictured scoring against Fleetwood, has been in impressive form since leaving Aston Villa . 9. Mark Yates was sacked by Cheltenham in November as punishment for failing to match his achievements of previous seasons when he twice took the tiny club to the League Two play-offs. That worked well. Replacement Paul Buckle has since come and gone too, and the club are now bottom of the table following a 3-0 home defeat by Plymouth. Caretaker Russell Milton is in charge until the summer – but has so far overseen just one win in eight matches. Cheltenham have struggled in League Two since deciding to sack former manager Mark Yates . 10. Signing a goalscorer is the key to success at any level as Grimsby have proven by shaking up the race for promotion from the Vanarama Conference. Paul Hurst’s team looked nowhere near the race until they brought in 6ft 5ins centre forward Ollie Palmer on a loan deal from Mansfield – and haven’t looked back. The 23-year-old got his sixth from nine games in a 2-0 win at Welling that lifted them above Bristol Rovers on goal difference and just a point behind leaders Barnet. Ollie Palmer has scored six goals in nine games since joining Grimsby Town on a loan deal from Mansfield .
Ashley Williams' proposed move to Arsenal fell through in the summer . The deal collapsed over fears Williams was not Champions League quality . Chelsea ace John Terry played in Steven Gerrard's All-Star charity match . Terry was also the first to agree to play in Stiliyan Petrov's fundraiser .

The 21-year-old left back, picked up from Dundee United last summer by Steve Bruce for a bargain £2.8million, showed he is back to full match fitness with a dazzling display for Scotland. He played 100 passes in all during the win over Gibraltar, with 93 of them reaching a team-mate – and 49 of them in the attacking half of the field. Hull full back Andrew Roberton impressed against Gibraltar following his return to full match fitness . 7. Notts County say they are going to name a new manager this week with 50-year-old Dutchman Ricardo Moniz, once on Tottenham’s coaching staff, the current bookies’ favourite to get the job. They might be better off forgetting that and sticking with the experienced figure of Paul Hart who stepped up from working with the Academy for a one-off day as caretaker boss against relegation rivals Scunthorpe. The 61-year-old made a dramatic difference, lifting County out of the relegation zone with a 2-2 draw – and only a late Niall Canavan goal stopped him taking all three points. Notts County look set to appoint former Tottenham coach Ricardo Moniz following Shaun Derry's exit . 8. Midfielder Daniel Johnson was the big star when Aston Villa’s youngsters reached the quarter-finals of the NextGen series in 2012, but despite sitting on the bench as an unused sub for a few times could never find a way to the first team when Paul Lambert was in charge. He finally gave up trying to earn a Premier League chance in January and signed for Preston. After scoring in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Fleetwood, he now has six goals in 12 games – and must wonder how he’d have fared if he’d hung on for the Tim Sherwood regime. Daniel Johnson, pictured scoring against Fleetwood, has been in impressive form since leaving Aston Villa . 9. Mark Yates was sacked by Cheltenham in November as punishment for failing to match his achievements of previous seasons when he twice took the tiny club to the League Two play-offs. That worked well. Replacement Paul Buckle has since come and gone too, and the club are now bottom of the table following a 3-0 home defeat by Plymouth. Caretaker Russell Milton is in charge until the summer – but has so far overseen just one win in eight matches. Cheltenham have struggled in League Two since deciding to sack former manager Mark Yates . 10. Signing a goalscorer is the key to success at any level as Grimsby have proven by shaking up the race for promotion from the Vanarama Conference. Paul Hurst’s team looked nowhere near the race until they brought in 6ft 5ins centre forward Ollie Palmer on a loan deal from Mansfield – and haven’t looked back. The 23-year-old got his sixth from nine games in a 2-0 win at Welling that lifted them above Bristol Rovers on goal difference and just a point behind leaders Barnet. Ollie Palmer has scored six goals in nine games since joining Grimsby Town on a loan deal from Mansfield . [/INST] Ashley Williams' proposed move to Arsenal fell through in the summer .

Katie Hopkins has sparked outrage once again after being accused of making a Holocaust joke aimed at the wife of Ed Miliband . Katie Hopkins has sparked outrage once again after being accused of making a Holocaust joke aimed at the wife of Ed Miliband – whose Jewish parents fled from the Nazis. The controversial TV pundit faced calls for her arrest after saying the Labour leader could 'gas' his wife Justine in a message on Friday. She tweeted: 'Pollsters say Justine is the least popular of party wives. He might stick her head in the oven and turn on the gas.' The outspoken star was then bombarded with hundreds of furious messages condemning her 'vile' tweet, with one saying: 'You really are a deplorable and scummy piece of excrement.' Jay Niew tweeted: 'Katie Hopkins should be prosecuted for her vile gas oven and Jewish tweet. She is sub human both in intellect and character.' David Price said: 'Is this in poor taste for shady reasons or are you as stupid as you seem? Check his background, look in the mirror and be ashamed.' Paul Harthill said: 'I seriously hope that wasn't a joke aimed at Jewish people. You really are a deplorable and scummy piece of excrement.' Jamie Bellinger said: 'I liked you, but you've f***ed up this time. Being unafraid of speaking your mind is good. Holocaust jokes are a step too far.' The Labour leader has previously spoken about how both his parents, Ralph Miliband and Marion Kozak, fled the Nazis in the 1940s. He also revealed that a number of his relatives were killed including his grandfather who died in a labour camp. Speaking on Holocaust memorial day this year, he said: 'It’s 70 years since my grandfather died in one of the camps. Scroll down for video . 'He ended up in Germany in a labour camp, which is where he eventually died according to the records. 'There’s horror and there’s hope, because it’s also the case that many members of my family were saved because they were Jews who were hidden by decent people.' The controversial TV pundit faced calls for her arrest after saying the Labour leader could 'gas' his wife Justine (pictured together) Around 17 members of his family on his father's side were sheltered in a Belgian village after villagers helped to hide them. Ms Hopkins was also blasted for saying she hoped Mr Miliband would get oral syphilis after his appearance on the Battle For Number 10 broadcast. When asked if he was tough enough to lead Britain, the Labour leader answered defiantly: 'Hell yes.' But that did not impress former the former Apprentice star and she said: 'No you cannot you irritating little man.' In a blog entry for Sun Nation, the columnist wrote: 'As Paxman gripped Ed by the throat and shook his skinny bones about like an American pit bull, Ed made like a Westboro baptist and asked himself questions he would rather answer instead. The TV pundit suggested that Mr Miliband could stick his wife's head in the oven and 'turn on the gas' 'Am I tough enough? Hell yeah! Am I strong enough? Praise the Lord for puny b*****ds! Would I kill my own mother to get at her National Trust pass? Can I get a hell yeah? 'No you cannot you irritating little man. You can get oral syphilis and suck on a lemon.' She has also courted controversy this week for her comments about the Germanwings disaster. The TV tweeted saying: 'Sympathy for the co-pilot is making me angry. If you are suicidal, for goodness sake top yourself in private. Attention seeking b******s.' She followed this up with a number of tweets about depression, including: 'Most depression is just genuine sadness at a social situation.

A little-known southern pizza chain is edging in on big name brands to take a big slice of the market. Hunt Brothers Pizza provides gas stations and convenience stores with ingredients and start up equipment but doesn't charge franchise fees. As a result it now boasts more U.S. sites than either Domino's or Pizza Hut, with 7,300 locations in 28 states. As well as the convenience factor, customers apparently love the taste. Scroll down for video . Loyal fan: Roy Bruce, owner of the Rightway Foodmart poses for a photo in front of a Hunt Brothers Pizza display in Andersonville, Tennessee . 'It beats Pizza Hut and Domino's,' said 23-year-old Brittany Bunch, who buys Hunt Brothers about once a week during breaks from her job at a water damage company. 'It's just got more flavor. It seems like, with the others, you're getting cardboard.' While Hunt Brothers may be unknown in many households, it runs television ads during NASCAR races and cable outdoors shows. For several years, it has sponsored Kevin Harvick, who won the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup. On a recent morning at 10:40am, Roy Bruce, who owns Rightway Foodmart in Andersonville, Tennessee, started sliding Hunt Brothers pizzas for the lunch rush into a conveyor-belt oven. Easy-to-make: Each pie starts out frozen, a crust with sauce and a layer of cheese . Build your own: Employees can add fresh pepperoni, extra cheese and other toppings . Tasty treat: The result after about five minutes in the 525-degree oven is a bubbling-hot pizza with browned toppings that tastes comparable to the big delivery chains' pizzas .

The result after about five minutes in the 525-degree oven is a bubbling-hot pizza with browned toppings that tastes comparable to the big delivery chains' pizzas. In about an hour, Bruce sold that first pizza and another one in two-slice $2.99 'hunks' from a countertop warming display near his cash register. Pizza customers included a UPS delivery driver, a woman on her way to lunch with her daughter and a guy in camouflage who confessed he was just coming from the liquor store. In a typical Hunt Brothers arrangement, Bruce said he paid about $10,000 for his oven, freezer, display case and other equipment and now just pays the Nashville, Tennessee-based company for the pizza ingredients. Hunt Brothers, which is privately owned, fine-tuned this approach starting in the early 1990s when four brothers who'd worked separately in the restaurant industry joined forces to sell pizzas to convenience stores. Hunt Brothers had 750 locations by 1994, said Keith Solsvig, its vice president for marketing. 'Convenience stores in rural areas were the hub,' Solsvig said in a phone interview. 'A lot of people coming and going. And a lot of these smaller towns, they didn't really have a lot of other restaurants or other places to eat.' Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Texas each have more than 700 locations, Solsvig said. Not all locations are isolated, with Hunt Brothers also found at busy highway interchanges. And it's moved into some urban areas, such as Memphis. The convenience store model is different from a free-standing restaurant, and a Hunt Brothers outlet is likely to bring in far less than the more than $700,000 an average Domino's makes a year, said Darren Tristano, a restaurant industry analyst with Technomic.

<s>[INST] A little-known southern pizza chain is edging in on big name brands to take a big slice of the market. Hunt Brothers Pizza provides gas stations and convenience stores with ingredients and start up equipment but doesn't charge franchise fees. As a result it now boasts more U.S. sites than either Domino's or Pizza Hut, with 7,300 locations in 28 states. As well as the convenience factor, customers apparently love the taste. Scroll down for video . Loyal fan: Roy Bruce, owner of the Rightway Foodmart poses for a photo in front of a Hunt Brothers Pizza display in Andersonville, Tennessee . 'It beats Pizza Hut and Domino's,' said 23-year-old Brittany Bunch, who buys Hunt Brothers about once a week during breaks from her job at a water damage company. 'It's just got more flavor. It seems like, with the others, you're getting cardboard.' While Hunt Brothers may be unknown in many households, it runs television ads during NASCAR races and cable outdoors shows. For several years, it has sponsored Kevin Harvick, who won the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup. On a recent morning at 10:40am, Roy Bruce, who owns Rightway Foodmart in Andersonville, Tennessee, started sliding Hunt Brothers pizzas for the lunch rush into a conveyor-belt oven. Easy-to-make: Each pie starts out frozen, a crust with sauce and a layer of cheese . Build your own: Employees can add fresh pepperoni, extra cheese and other toppings .

(CNN)The reputed leader of one of Mexico's most ruthless cartels walked with his head bowed Wednesday as federal forces escorted him into an armored vehicle in the country's capital. Authorities closed in on Zetas boss Omar Trevino Morales in predawn darkness, capturing him in an operation without firing a single shot, said Monte Alejandro Rubido, head of Mexico's national security council. There are 11 pending criminal cases against him, and the crimes Trevino is accused of committing make him "one of the most dangerous and bloodthirsty criminals in Mexico," said Tomas Zeron, director of criminal investigations for the Attorney General's Office. Speaking later in the day to reporters at Mexico City's airport, Zeron said the drug kingpin's legal situation would be assessed after he makes a statement to investigators. U.S. officials have requested his extradition, Zeron said. Known as "Z-42," Trevino was arrested at about 3 a.m. in San Pedro Garza Garcia, a suburb of the industrial hub of Monterrey. In a simultaneous operation, five others were arrested, including the cartel's suspected financial operator, Rubido said. For the Mexican government, Trevino's arrest marks the second high-level capture of a purported drug boss in a week. Servando Gomez, leader of the Knights Templar drug cartel, was captured Friday in the state of Michoacan. The capture of the cartel leaders is a victory for President Enrique Peña Nieto, though the Zetas and Knights Templar are not as powerful as they once were. Still, reports of violence, corruption and extortion continue to flow from the areas of northern Mexico where the Zetas operate. The U.S. State Department was offering a reward of $5 million for information leading to the arrest of Trevino Morales. The Mexican government offered an additional $2 million. Trevino Morales is believed to have been at the helm of the Zetas since 2013, inheriting the post from his brother, Miguel Angel Trevino Morales. Miguel Angel, or "Z-40," was known as a ruthless drug lord with a reputation for burning his enemies alive and ordering mass killings. His arrest in July 2013 was praised as a turning point. But while certain cartels have been weakened after their leaders are captured, critics are quick to point out that the criminal organizations survive, and new leaders rise. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration praised Mexico's government for arresting Trevino, saying he facilitated and oversaw "huge drug shipments into the United States and elsewhere." He faces federal drug trafficking conspiracy and money laundering charges in several jurisdictions, including Washington, D.C. and south Texas. "The Zetas represent the worst in global organized crime: violence, intimidation, corruption, and brutal killings," DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart said in a statement. "Today's arrest strikes at the heart of the leadership structure of the Zetas and should serve as yet another warning that no criminal is immune from arrest and prosecution." CNN's Joshua Gaynor contributed to this report.

After a blistering start, England were forced to work for their win against Scotland, which took them level on points with Ireland and Wales at the top of the Six Nations championship table. Jonathan Joseph had Stuart Lancaster's side ahead inside five minutes, but Scotland fought back and forced a thrilling finale. Sportsmail's Chris Foy was there to run the rule over the two teams: . Courtney Lawes gets up above Jonny Gray to secure line-out ball for England in a hard-fought battle . ENGLAND . Mike Brown – Ominous when he dropped first high kick but settled well and posed a threat whenever he had the ball. 7. Anthony Watson – A game of near-triumph for him, but he scored a ‘try’ which was ruled out, as was another he helped set up. 7. Mike Brown takes on Finn Russell as the England full back looked to create opportunities . Jonathan Joseph – Took his try with typical, swerving aplomb, to showcase his nifty footwork. Held up well in defence. 7. Luther Burrell – Squandered glorious early scoring chance. Forceful as ever, but not igniting this campaign as he did last year. 6. Jack Nowell – Exeter wing was electric with his broken-field running. Some suspect decision-making but good finish for try. 7. Jonathan Joseph dives over to score England's early try, which looked to have set them on their way . George Ford – His authority grows. Created openings with distribution and pace, and scored a try. All was well until late missed kicks. 8. Ben Youngs – Was a livewire threat early on and continued to test the Scottish defence with his darts around the fringes. 7. Joe Marler – Deft handling in run-up to Ford try, put in familiar busy shift in defence and was at the heart of set-piece onslaught. 7. George Ford dives over the line for his try in a game where he contributed 15 points and controlled the play . Dylan Hartley – This was a fast-and-loose encounter, so his work in the tight was most felt with his part in a first-half scrum blitz. 6. Dan Cole – The Leicester tighthead is quite content to win scrums and hit rucks, in which case he was in his element here. 7. Dave Attwood – Not as prominent as he was in Dublin, when his defensive work was so valuable and not among top carriers. 6. Dave Attwood gets the ball away out of the tackle as England in another good display from the second row . Courtney Lawes – Largely effective in the way he orchestrated the lineout and a dynamic, punishing presence around the field. 7. James Haskell – Made his fair share of tackles but no major carrying or breakdown impact. His place may be under threat. 6. Billy Vunipola – Determination to impose himself was clear from sheer number of times he pounded the Scottish defence. 7. Billy Vunipola goes on one of his characteristic runs as he offers England some momentum . Chris Robshaw – Not a towering presence before the break, but more influential later, especially as a link-man in attacks. 7. Replacements: Tom Youngs exploded from the bench to provide impetus and fellow front-rower, Kieran Brookes, was involved in the build-up to Nowell’s try and Tom Wood made one strong late burst. Chris Robshaw needs two Scottish tacklers to bring him down as he led England to a Calcutta Cup victory . SCOTLAND . Stuart Hogg – Did well to chase back and prevent a try by Brown. Frustrated by restricted chances and threw some wild passes. 6. Dougie Fife – Had a couple of jinking bursts but largely well shackled. Covered effectively when Watson threatened in second half. 5. Stuart Hogg goes low to bring down Jack Nowell but Scotland couldn't hold out for long . Mark Bennett – Kept his head when the chance came; ignoring men outside to touch down. Largely occupied with tackling. 7. Matt Scott – Was an emergency replacement for Alex Dunbar and this wasn’t a day for him to prove his creative credentials. 5. Tommy Seymour – A regular threat. He came in-field looking for work and often found gaps. Kept choosing clever lines. 7. Finn Russell – Was all at sea in the first quarter but grew into the game. Some shrewd touches but also some glaring lapses. 6. Finn Russell looks for territory as the Scots struggled to get good field position to make a late charge . Greig Laidlaw – Behind a beaten pack, he struggled to control proceedings and didn’t challenge England with box-kicks. 6. Alasdair Dickinson – The prop was damned by association with a scrum effort which was hapless as England took command. 5. Ross Ford – He has had far more commanding outings than this, as he failed to make many dents in a pack on the back foot. 5. Euan Murray – After early tussle with Dan Cole, was left flailing as George Ford scored his try and couldn’t prevent scrum rout. 5. Greig Laidlaw kicks clear as Courtney Lawes attempts to get through two Scottish forwards to charge down . Jim Hamilton – It wasn’t his day. Took a blow to the head that led to an early exit and not the usual snarling menace. 5. Jonny Gray – Nearly touched down when the Scots finally gained a foothold. Couldn’t disrupt English supply at the lineout. 6. Rob Harley – Had a hand in the try scored by Bennett but against the big, strong home forwards he was a lightweight presence. 5. David Denton – Last year, he was almost a lone threat to England and this time he again fought the good fight in vain. 7. Jonny Gray carries the ball as Scotland fought back from a poor start to make a game of it . Blair Cowan – Aside from one slick aerial off-load to send Seymour hurtling clear, he was a low-profile figure in this game. 5. Replacements: The lack of Scottish depth was harshly exposed. None of them sent on from the bench by Vern Cotter could do anything to turn the tide against their team.
England create countless chances but made to work hard for win . Result takes England top of Six Nations table on points difference . George North picked up 15 points as England retained Calcutta Cup .

Jordan Henderson required a slice of luck after an uninspiring first half against Swansea, Jordi Amat’s sliding tackle sending the ball ricocheting on to his shin and ultimately looping beyond the reach of Lukasz Fabianski. But there has been nothing fortuitous about the manner of his improvement over the past two years. He has blossomed from a player talked about in the same breath as Andy Carroll and Charlie Adam  - as examples of how Liverpool wasted the money from the sale of Fernando Torres - to England’s best midfielder. Liverpool have not lost any of the 15 games where their vice-captain has worn the armband this season, winning 12 and drawing three, proving himself in the dressing room and on the pitch a worthy successor to the departing Steven Gerrard. Jordan Henderson celebrates scoring against Swansea, the latest high point in his huge improvement . Henderson was almost sold to Fulham by Brendan Rodgers but is now England's best midfield option . The former Sunderland man was spoken about as a waste of money but is Steven Gerrard's successor now . An incredible unbeaten run in the league stretching back to December has put Liverpool just two points behind Manchester United in fourth and Henderson has been the key to their revival. Even when he is not playing well, as was the case against Swansea, the 24-year-old is a hub of industry, harrying the opposition and straining every sinew and devoting every ounce of energy to the cause. He also keeps popping up at the crucial moments - this was his third goal in as many games and a vital one which keeps the momentum going for his side. Sportsmail’s Jamie Carragher speaks of him as one of the best midfielders in the Barclays Premier League. Not bad for a bloke from Wearside who runs funny. Henderson was not even playing particularly well against Swansea but he made the difference for Liverpool . Liverpool have not lost any of the 15 games played by Henderson as captain in Gerrard's absence . Legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson turned down the opportunity to sign Henderson . That was the assessment of none other than Sir Alex Ferguson, who wrote in his autobiography that Steve Bruce, then Henderson’s manager at Sunderland, recommended United sign the youngster. Ferguson declined citing Henderson’s gait ‘might cause him injuries later in his career'. Of course now he is just the sort of player Manchester United would want marshalling their midfield when the sides meet on Sunday in what could transpire to be pivotal in the race for the final Champions League spot. Henderson laughed off Ferguson’s mean observation, even taking it as a compliment that the pair were discussing him. Over his career so far, he has demonstrated an enviable resilience and a thick skin. When he first arrived at Anfield for £16million and failed to immediately deliver on the promise shown for boyhood club Sunderland he was widely, and understandably, maligned. Even Brendan Rodgers wanted to sell him to Fulham at one point. When he first arrived at Anfield, Henderson failed to immediately deliver on the promise shown at Sunderland . Ferguson turned down Henderson while he was at Sunderland but Manchester United could do with him now . Rodgers considered selling Henderson to Fulham but has been won round by the player's ambition . But Henderson won the Northern Irishman round with his desire and ambition and the two have struck up a good relationship. Henderson credits Rodgers' insistence that he work on his tactical nouse with his improvement. Gary Neville, who works closely with Henderson in the England set-up, has observed a big change in him in the last 12 months and praised his fanatical approach to working on set-pieces. ‘He has a massive conscience in terms of caring about his game and practising on the training ground,’ Neville said on Sky’s Monday Night Football. ‘I remember last year seeing a big change in him in terms of training and practising free-kicks and set pieces. Henderson poses with Charlie Adam, Kenny Dalglish, Alexander Doni and Stewart Downing (left to right) upon signing but in his early days at the club he was viewed as an example of Liverpool wasting money . Henderson is a leader in the dressing room at Liverpool, and with England, according to Gary Neville . The midfielder accepts the congratulations of his team-mates after a hard-fought win in Wales on Monday . ‘You saw him taking set-pieces with Steven Gerrard in the middle. Who would have thought that would happen two years ago? He is not frightened to pull people out and talk, that is why he has the captain’s armband. He is one of the leaders in the dressing room at Liverpool and he is the same with England.’ There may have been moments of luck along the way for Henderson but his story is one of perseverance and boundless improvement. Liverpool and England will hope there is even more to come. Henderson initially struggled to meet expectations at Liverpool but is now valuable for club and country . Jordi Amat slides in to clear for Swansea but the clearance rebounded off Henderson and into the net .

That was the assessment of none other than Sir Alex Ferguson, who wrote in his autobiography that Steve Bruce, then Henderson’s manager at Sunderland, recommended United sign the youngster. Ferguson declined citing Henderson’s gait ‘might cause him injuries later in his career'. Of course now he is just the sort of player Manchester United would want marshalling their midfield when the sides meet on Sunday in what could transpire to be pivotal in the race for the final Champions League spot. Henderson laughed off Ferguson’s mean observation, even taking it as a compliment that the pair were discussing him. Over his career so far, he has demonstrated an enviable resilience and a thick skin. When he first arrived at Anfield for £16million and failed to immediately deliver on the promise shown for boyhood club Sunderland he was widely, and understandably, maligned. Even Brendan Rodgers wanted to sell him to Fulham at one point. When he first arrived at Anfield, Henderson failed to immediately deliver on the promise shown at Sunderland . Ferguson turned down Henderson while he was at Sunderland but Manchester United could do with him now . Rodgers considered selling Henderson to Fulham but has been won round by the player's ambition . But Henderson won the Northern Irishman round with his desire and ambition and the two have struck up a good relationship. Henderson credits Rodgers' insistence that he work on his tactical nouse with his improvement. Gary Neville, who works closely with Henderson in the England set-up, has observed a big change in him in the last 12 months and praised his fanatical approach to working on set-pieces. ‘He has a massive conscience in terms of caring about his game and practising on the training ground,’ Neville said on Sky’s Monday Night Football. ‘I remember last year seeing a big change in him in terms of training and practising free-kicks and set pieces. Henderson poses with Charlie Adam, Kenny Dalglish, Alexander Doni and Stewart Downing (left to right) upon signing but in his early days at the club he was viewed as an example of Liverpool wasting money . Henderson is a leader in the dressing room at Liverpool, and with England, according to Gary Neville . The midfielder accepts the congratulations of his team-mates after a hard-fought win in Wales on Monday . ‘You saw him taking set-pieces with Steven Gerrard in the middle. Who would have thought that would happen two years ago? He is not frightened to pull people out and talk, that is why he has the captain’s armband. He is one of the leaders in the dressing room at Liverpool and he is the same with England.’ There may have been moments of luck along the way for Henderson but his story is one of perseverance and boundless improvement. Liverpool and England will hope there is even more to come. Henderson initially struggled to meet expectations at Liverpool but is now valuable for club and country . Jordi Amat slides in to clear for Swansea but the clearance rebounded off Henderson and into the net . [/INST] Jordan Henderson scores fortuitous winner as Liverpool beat Swansea 1-0 . Liverpool have not lost any of their games with Henderson as captain . Vice-captain Henderson has proven himself as Steven Gerrard's successor .

Shocking video footage has emerged of the extraordinary moment a Brazilian minibus was swallowed up in the middle of the road and then swept away in a furious torrent of flood water. Filmed in a remote area of Para state in the north of the country, the clip begins by showing the silver bus being evacuated after becoming stuck on a rapidly collapsing road. Seconds later a massive sinkhole opens up beneath the vehicle causing up it to plummet into the fast-moving flood waters below. The stricken bus is then seen being carried off into the distance by the raging deluge.

Sinking: Seconds later that decision is vindicated as a massive sinkhole opens up directly beneath the bus, causing it to tumble into the raging deluge below . The shocking video shows the bus grinding to a halt as it travels along the Amazonian mud track.

The sheer power of the flooded river is immediately evident as the massive vehicle is washed away by the current, bucking and bronking in the water, which has taken on a yellow colour due to the amount of mud and silt it has washed away from the surrounding area.

Extraordinary bugged calls between separatists that suggest flight MH17 was shot down by a Russian-made missile over Ukraine were revealed today by investigators. The intercepted dialogue strongly suggests a Russian military crew was accompanying a BUK missile smuggled into eastern Ukraine shortly before the Boeing 777 was shot out the sky. It also indicates the weapons system was smuggled back over the border to Russia afterwards. The disclosures support an earlier MailOnline story highlighting the use of a Volvo truck to transport the BUK. The revelations came as the Dutch-led Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing the Malaysian Airlines crash called for witnesses 'who can tell more about the transport, crew and launch of a BUK rocket in the area in the days before and after the crash,' it said. Their video appeal, carrying images of the BUK weapon system on a flatbed truck and audio recordings of the intercepted telephone conversations, was being aired on television and radio and distributed on websites and social media. Dutch prosecutors released a video appeal for witnesses in eastern Ukraine who may have seen a Russian-made BUK rocket (pictured, above, on a Volvo truck) being fired at Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, saying this was the 'leading scenario' in their  investigation into the disaster last year which killed 298 people on board . The video appeal, carrying images of the BUK weapon system on a flatbed truck and recordings of bugged telephone conversations, was being aired on television and distributed on websites and social media . All 298 people on board the Malaysia Airlines jet - the majority of them Dutch - died when it was shot down over war-torn eastern Ukraine last year. The call for witnesses confirms that investigators are taking seriously the scenario that the Boeing 777 was shot out of the sky by a Russian-made BUK missile fired from an area of Donetsk region controlled by pro-Moscow separatists. Moscow has strongly denied these allegations. Investigators say it is 'too early to draw conclusions on the disaster', but their appeal for witnesses could not be clearer. It was coupled with the release of an intercepted phone call 'between two separatists on July 17th at 9.08am in which they have discussed the transportation of BUK to Donetsk. 'Apparently, the conversation reveals that the BUK was accompanied by a crew'. The Dutch-led Joint Investigation Team probing the crash called for witnesses 'who can tell more about the transport, crew and launch of a BUK rocket in the area in the days before and after the crash,' it said .

Police were called to a Church of England primary school after parents allegedly threatened to stab each other in front of young children. The group of mothers and father were seen screaming at each other in the brawl at St John's C of E primary school in Dorking, Surrey. They were then heard to make the alleged death threats by a mother who was dropping off her terrified children. Police were called toSt Johns C of E primary school in Dorking,Surrey after parents threatened to stab each other in front of young children . One mother, who asked not to be named for fear of reprisals, said: 'They were shouting and screaming at each other, with bad language and threatening to stab and kill each other.' Surrey Police confirmed it had received reports of 'an altercation' at the school just before 9am on Wednesday. A spokesman said today: 'Officers attended and the matter is being investigated. No arrests have been made at this stage.' But the witness, who was not involved in the fracas,  said it's not the first time police have been called to the school over parents' fighting. 'It's disgusting....it's a primary school, this should not be going on,' the mother added. 'I don't want to send my kid there in that environment, and I am not the only parent that has complained, but I can't get him in any other school as they are all full. 'I don't want him subjected to it. But if I take him out we will be done for absences. 'Sooner or later someone is going to get hurt. It's beyond unbelievable what happens. Surrey Police confirmed it had received reports of 'an altercation' at the school just before 9am on Wednesday. 'The police will soon have to start being there for morning drop-offs. Enough is enough, kids are picking up bad behaviour. 'It's not the school's fault, but it is their fault for not acting. It's not them, it's parents, but it's going on in school premises in front of children. 'These parents were threatening to kill each other in front of their kids and other people's children.' St Johns C of E has denied violence involving parents is a regular occurrence, and claims 'only one other incident in the past few months has involved police'.

Alex Baah was jailed for 18 years today for a horrific series of rapes on a 13-year-old girl . A sex attacker who repeatedly raped a 13-year-old was jailed for 18 years today. Ghanaian Alex Baah, of south-east London, paid the girl £2 after each assault, the Old Bailey heard. The 42-year-old raped the girl at an address near Croydon and sent her perverted text messages, the court was told. The victim finally complained to police in August 2013 when she was aged 15. Jobless Baah denied touching the girl and claimed she had planted evidence and stole his mobile to send the messages. But the jury convicted him of five counts of rape committed between 2010 and 2013. The jury failed to reach verdicts on a further two counts of raping the girl when she was eleven and those charges were dropped. Judge Simon Farrell told the father-of-three his behaviour was ‘wicked'. He said: ‘This was a terrible case. The damaged caused to this girl is incalculable.' The judge added: ‘Rape of a child is a particularly serious offence and calls for severe punishment.’ The girl, who cannot be identified, told how Baah would give her money after he raped her. After an attack in early August 2013, she turned up unexpectedly at her aunt’s house in floods of tears. Her aunt said: ‘As soon as she arrived at my house she walked through the door and said: “He’s been touching me”. ‘I called her mother and she managed to get hold of her first but she was hysterical and wasn’t talking clearly. Then she showed me the text messages.' Baah’s name had been was saved in the girl’s phone under ‘P****’, the court heard. Traces of Baah’s DNA were found on the girl’s clothes during a medical examination after she alerted police. Giving evidence Baah claimed: ‘I don’t know how it got there, but the only way I can think is she go to the bathroom and use it against me.’ He also tried to argue that text messages sent from his phone may have been an attempt to set him up. Baah, of Plumstead, denied two counts of raping a child under the age of 13 and five counts of rape of the same victim between 2008 and 2013. In addition to his jail term, the judge passed a sexual offences prevention order which bans Baah from wilfully being in the presence of a girl under the age of 16. He waved at relatives in the public gallery as he was led to the cells. A judge at the Old Bailey told Baah: ‘This was a terrible case. The damaged caused to this girl is incalculable'

Shocking video has emerged of a mother holding her terrified daughter in a headlock while the little girl was having her ears pierced. The footage, taken in Chicago, Illinois, shows the young child crying out in fear as a man approaches with a piercing instrument. At one point, the girl can be heard screaming 'please don't, please don't' as she cowers in a chair while a man off camera accuses the frightened youngster of 'acting like a little baby'. Footage shows the child crying out while a man (left) moves in with an ear piercing instrument. Moments later the frightened girl is held in a headlock by her mother (right) Eventually, a woman believed to be her mother puts the tearful girl in a hold while the procedure is carried out. The film, taken on a mobile phone, has sparked outrage on social media websites with some accusing the mother of going too far. One YouTube user, Valerie Jones wrote: 'This is horrible - how could anyone hear a child's plea and ignore it?' Another, Shelley Carefoot, said: 'See that poor child begging that man with her eyes. What a disgrace.' And aftern viewing the video, Adrien Dwight wrote: 'I cannot believe what I just saw.' The girl can be heard screaming 'please don't, please don't' as she cowers in a chair and tries to put her hands up to stop the piercing from happening . The video starts with the girl sitting in a chair with a man preparing to pierce her ear.

At one point, the mother says she is going to count to five ordering the youngster to 'calm down', to 'hold on tight' and ordering the girl to stop resisting.

A mother whose son suffered brain damage at birth has been awarded £5.2million after a 16-year battle with the NHS. Scotland’s highest court had twice rejected Nadine Montgomery’s claim that medical negligence caused her son’s physical disabilities. But in a landmark legal ruling seven judges of the Supreme Court in London upheld the 40-year-old mother’s claim in what was described as ‘the most significant medical negligence judgment in 30 years’. Nadine Montgomery, whose son suffers from cerebral palsy after he was starved of oxygen during birth, argued she was not properly advised on having a Cesarean by medics at NHS Lanarkshire . Mrs Montgomery expressed delight yesterday that the care of her son, Sam, who suffers from cerebral palsy, was now guaranteed. The biologist from Cumbernauld, Lanarkshire, said: ‘This is an enormous relief after a long legal fight, ensuring Sam receives the best care for the rest of his life.’ First-time mother Mrs Montgomery gave birth to her son in Bellshill Maternity Hospital, run by NHS Lanarkshire, in October 1999. The slightly-built Type 1 diabetic claimed that during her pregnancy she expressed concerns about the birth. Shoulder dystocia occurs when a baby becomes stuck during delivery, potentially starving the infant of oxygen and leading to brain defects. It is particularly common among the children of diabetes sufferers, which are often larger than typical children. Ms Montgomery, a type 1 diabetes sufferer, said the risks of natural delivery, and the prospect of having a Cesarean, were not discussed with her. Her son, Sam, suffered from shoulder dystocia during birth, and now has cerebral palsy. It is recognised that diabetic mothers can deliver larger babies, placing them at higher risk of complications, including the possibility of ‘shoulder dystocia’ where a newborn gets stuck in the pelvis. In her case, Sam’s shoulder stuck after delivery of his head. Staff released the shoulder but during a 12-minute delay he suffered oxygen deprivation. He was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy, caused by permanent brain injury at birth. Mrs Montgomery claimed that had she been advised properly, she would have opted for the alternative of a Caesarean section and Sam would have been born uninjured. But she said her obstetrician Dr Dina McLellan decided not to discuss the risks or suggest a Caesarean. At an earlier hearing, judges heard it was not Dr McLellan’s ‘practice’ to discuss the potential risks of shoulder dystocia, claiming that the risk for the baby was very small, and that Caesareans were not in the ‘maternal interests’ of women. Mrs Montgomery’s case for compensation had twice been rejected by the Court of Session in Edinburgh. But Lord Reed, who delivered the Supreme Court Justices’ decision yesterday said: ‘An adult person of sound mind is entitled to decide which, if any, of the available forms of treatment to undergo, and her consent must be obtained before treatment interfering with her bodily integrity is undertaken. Her claim for compensation was twice rejected by Scotland's highest court, but she was yesterday awarded £5.2million after London's Supreme Court overturned the ruling (file image) ‘There can be no doubt it was incumbent on Dr McLellan to advise Mrs Montgomery of the risk of shoulder dystocia if she were to have her baby by vaginal delivery, and to discuss with her the alternative of delivery by Caesarean. ‘The only conclusion we can reasonably reach is that, had she (the consultant) advised Mrs Montgomery of the risk of shoulder dystocia and discussed with her dispassionately the potential consequences, Mrs Montgomery would probably have elected to be delivered of her baby by Caesarean section. It is not in dispute that the baby would then have been born unharmed.’ A relieved Mrs Montgomery said: ‘This judgement is an enormous relief after a very long legal fight. I believe that I have a right to know of all the risks surrounding Sam's birth and I am pleased the Supreme Court has recognised that. 'I hope this means other patients will not have to go through what I have gone through. The decision will allow me to ensure Sam receives the best possible care for the rest of his life.' Dr Iain Wallace, Medical Director at NHS Lanarkshire, said: ‘Since this case, practices have changed significantly. Women are more fully informed and advised of the risks and complications of pregnancy. 'We are disappointed in the Supreme Court's decision which has applied retrospectively to the law relating to informed consent and to this case. 'We have only just received this judgement and will need time to consider it fully. We understand, however, that it materially changes the law relating to consent and we, along with other health boards in the UK, will need time to consider very carefully any potential implications for future service provision.'

Shocking new images released today have shown ISIS terrorists toppling crosses, smashing Christian relics with hammers and erecting the black flag of ISIS on churches in Iraq.

Dressed in civilian clothing, a militant takes a claw hammer to a priceless relief at a Nineveh church . ISIS have killed Christians who have refused to convert to Islam and want to cleanse its caliphate of its Christian heritage . The disturbing images - provided by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) - are the latest evidence of ISIS trying to cleanse its caliphate of its Christian heritage. ISIS claim ancient relics promote idolatry that violates their fundamentalist interpretation of Islamic law. MEMRI director Steven Stalinsky said: 'They don't care what it's called; they are just following their ideology and that means getting rid of churches and minorities. It is the Islamic State, and there's no room for anyone else. 'This has been going on for some time, a systematic campaign to rid the region of any vestiges of Christianity.' In February, the terrorist organisation decapitated 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians on the shores of Libya and then kidnapped more than 220 Assyrian Christians when militants swept into about 12 villages. Thousands of other Iraqi Christians have fled their homes in fear and are having to find temporary accommodation in the surrounding region.

Earlier this month, ISIS went on a rampage in the Assyrian city of Nimrud in northern Iraq, destroying the 3,000 year-old winged statues placed at the gates of the Palace of Ashurnasirpal. They also bulldozed 2,000-year-old Hatra - another UNESCO World Heritage site. In recent weeks, ISIS have also set off bombs around Mosul Central Library, destroying as many as 10,000 priceless and irreplaceable books and manuscripts. Nineveh, in northern Iraq, was once the largest city in the world with a population of as many as 150,000 people in 700BC - it lies close to Mosul, the largest city under ISIS control .

In recent weeks, ISIS have also set off bombs around Mosul Central Library, destroying as many as 10,000 priceless and irreplaceable books and manuscripts. Nineveh, in northern Iraq, was once the largest city in the world with a population of as many as 150,000 people in 700BC - it lies close to Mosul, the largest city under ISIS control .

Michael Schumacher's 15-year-old son is to follow in his father's footsteps after he signed a deal to compete in the Formula 4 series, which nurtures young talents. Mick Schumacher has been snapped up by the Netherlands' Van Amersfoort Racing team after he finished second in the world, European and German kart championships last season. His father Michael is the most successful driver in Formula One history, with seven titles, but retired from the sport after a devastating ski accident left him in a coma. Family business: Mick Schumacher, 15, has signed a deal to race for Van Amersfoort Racing in Formula 4 . Experience: Mick finished runner-up in the world, European and German kart championship last year . Champion: Michael Schumacher is the most successful driver in Formula One history, with seven titles . Fritz van Amersfoort, owner of the racing team that bears his name, said of Schumacher Jr, 'we have watched his skills in test driving and are looking forward to a successful season.' Mick is the first driver named by Van Amersfoort Racing for the 2015 season. The team propelled Max Verstappen - son of Schumacher Sr's 1994 Benetton F1 team-mate Jos - to prominence in Formula 3 last season. Verstappen Jr, 17, will now race for Toro Rosso in the 2015 F1 season. 'In the last couple of years, it has become a tradition for us that we offer the runner-up from the German junior karting championship a test session in our simulator,' added Mr Van Amesfoort. 'This is handled by the DMSB, the German motorsport authority, and that is how we first got in touch with Mick Schumacher last autumn. 'He spent a full day in the simulator at our headquarters in the Netherlands, then we witnessed him during a test session at Valencia and, eventually, we reached an agreement to compete together in this year's ADAC Formula 4 series.' Mick Schumacher could follow the path of Max Verstappen, who also raced for Van Amersfoort Racing . 17-year-old Verstappen will drive for Toro Rosso in the 2015 F1 season after his prodigious rise . Announced in 2013 and first run last year, Formula 4 is an open-wheeled motor racing competition designed for junior drivers as a stepping stone to Formula One. Vehicles may have a maximum power output of 160hp and must cost less than €9,500. There is no global championship, but individual nations can host their own championships according to rules and specifications of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile. Michael Schumacher suffered severe head injuries in a skiing accident in Meribel in the French Alps in December 2013. He emerged from an induced coma in June last year, and left hospital in September. He has since started to recognise family members, according to someone claiming to be a family friend. Philippe Streiff, a former Formula One driver, told French media Schumacher 'has yet to recover the power of speech' but is 'nevertheless starting to recognise those close to him'. Michael Schumacher was seriously injured after a skiing accident in December 2013 . Schumacher snr is Formula One's most successful ever driver with seven world championships . Schumacher takes the chequered flag upon winning the Canadian Grand Prix for Benetton in 1994 . And in January a report claimed Schumacher's recovery had reached a point where he now cries when he hears the sound of his children's voices. According to an article in the Italian newspaper Corriere della Serra, the fact Schumacher is reacting with tears to his loved ones' voices is 'valuable news', after a year of seeming 'really far away'. Writing in the paper, Giorgio Terruzi said: 'Schumi cries. And sometimes mysteriously. He cries when he hears his children, his wife's voice, his dogs. In the silence of that room, a tear runs down his thin face at a known sound.' He added: 'Inside this we can find... There is life, enclosed in a drop; there is the strength of a man who is moved and that moves each of us. We have his tears, his senses exposed.' However, Schumacher's manager has disputed reports of her client's recovery, saying the 46-year-old faces a 'long fight' for recovery and that Streiff is not a family friend. 'We need a long time,' Sabine Kehm said. 'He is making progress appropriate to the severity of the situation.

(CNN)Two extremists who attacked a landmark museum in Tunisia, killing 23 people, got weapons training at camps in Libya, an official said Friday. The suspects were activated from sleeper cells in Tunisia, Security Minister Rafik Chelly said. He did not say which group activated them, or with whom they trained. "They left the country illegally last December for Libya, and they were able to train with weapons there," he told private broadcaster AlHiwar Ettounsi TV. Like Tunisia, Libya saw its longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi ousted during the regional wave of revolutions known as the Arab Spring. But unlike its neighbor to the west, Libya has been fraught with more instability and violence -- much of it perpetrated by Islamist militants, like those behind the 2012 Benghazi attack that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. Such violence has been rare in Tunisia, at least on the scale of what happened Wednesday at the Bardo Museum in Tunis. Still, it is not a total shock, given that up to 3,000 Tunisians have left to fight as jihadists in Iraq and Syria, according to the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization in London, not to mention others who have joined radical groups closer to home. Already, authorities have arrested nine people in connection with the attack, including four directly linked to it, according to a statement from Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi. And in an audio message posted online Thursday, ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, which it said targeted "crusaders and apostates" with "automatic weapons and hand grenades." CNN cannot independently verify the legitimacy of the audio statement. That bloodshed is "just the start," the ISIS message warned -- a threat that may or may not be hollow, but nonetheless adds extra urgency for Tunisian investigators. The nation's security forces are working to break up other cells like those behind the recent Bardo Museum attack. But that's not necessarily going to be fast or easy. "We know they can launch operations, but we must piece together clues in order to conduct an arrest," Chelly said. As investigators continued their work, Tunisians turned out Friday to mark the North African nation's independence from France. Those commemorations were more somber this year, but they were also in many ways more significant. "I'm here to celebrate 59 years of our independence," said Adib Adela, 38, a school inspector in Tunis. "The most important thing now is to properly investigate and to find those responsible." Tunisia has been shaken by the terrorist attack, though it was foreigners -- 19 of them tourists who'd been on two cruise ships that docked in Tunis -- who made up the vast majority of victims. Fifteen victims' bodies are at a morgue in the capital, a forensic official said. Some of them haven't been identified two days after the attack, according to the official, and all are foreigners. The fear is that many other tourists won't come back. Already, the parent companies of the two ships that had most of the victims, Costa Cruises and MSC Cruises, have announced the cancellation of all scheduled stops in Tunis for 2015 and substituted them with other ports. That means some foreigners won't be coming to Tunisia as once expected. But it doesn't mean all tourists will stay away -- as illustrated by a movement online of people vowing, "I will come to Tunisia." Beyond tourism, Tunisians also hope to get support from other countries as they fight terrorism. "I hope other countries will support Tunisia, like they supported France after Charlie Hebdo," said Amir Foudieli, 33, who works for an export company, referring to the January massacre at the satirical magazine's offices in Paris. "We are Tunisian, this is our country. Not theirs, they (the terrorists) are bastards of children. We have centuries of history." CNN's Hamdi Alkhshali, Victor Blackwell and journalist Yasmine Ryan contributed to this report.

Scroll down for video . New Zealand's Samuel Forrest and his Armenia wife, Ruzan Badalyan, have reportedly reconciled .

Host commentator . Ashton: The club need to be supportive off the field, to create an environment so that his family can settle in the north west and enjoy their life in Cheshire. His wife wants to leave the country and return to Argentina, and Di Maria is wrestling with that decision: Let her leave with the children and leave him to continue his United career, or move to another club more suited to their lifestyle in Europe. Tough one. CLICK HERE TO READ NEIL ASHTON'S FULL PLAYER RATINGS FROM OLD TRAFFORD . Ashton: Without a doubt. He looked the business with his great Ajax team in the Nineties and he has an excellent record in European football. The problem is that he has under-estimated some of the demands and the customs of English football, such as the Capital One Cup defeat at MK Dons and the failure to inspire the supporters at Old Trafford. He claimed United would be stronger in the second half of the season. They actually look disillusioned and directionless. Ashton: Busy. I was surprised that Van Gaal did not build from the back when he arrived, buying top class defenders (although I like Marcos Rojo) to make sure United would be difficult to beat. Everybody with a passing interest in the club knew that they would need defensive reinforcements after Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra left. The task of rescuing United and turning them into a formidable attacking presence again was bigger than he thought, possibly too big. Ashton: Not a lot, but at the pressure moment of the game he delivered. He spotted the back pass, the opportunity to take Arsenal into the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley if he could take advantage inside a stadium where he has only ever known what it is like to play in red. To finish the way he did, clipping the ball around the advancing figure of David de Dea, was a moment of composure and genuine class. CLICK HERE TO READ NEIL ASHTON'S FULL PLAYER RATINGS FROM OLD TRAFFORD . Ashton: Absolutely right. Van Gaal was dismissive of him when he decided to sell, claiming that he was not of the standard required for his new United team. He had been fairly anonymous until his goal, but he took it brilliantly. When he was substituted he showed respect for his surroundings by clapping all four corners of the stadium. You know in his heart of hearts he would still like to be a United player, but the decision was taken away from him. Ashton: History is on Arsenal’s side because they have won the trophy five times under Wenger. If Liverpool reach the final then it will be difficult for them to deviate from the narrative about it being a fitting send off for the captain Steven Gerrard before his move to LA Galaxy. The reality is that it would be a distraction, particularly for a team that hasn't won the competition since 2006. Having said that, Gerrard’s contribution to the 2006 FA Cup final against West Ham was superhuman. You could not rule out something special. Ashton: United measure their seasons on silverware, not top four finishes. At the moment they are making up the numbers, trying to work out where they are heading under a manager who appears uncertain of his own values. Van Gaal is becoming increasingly tetchy and his response on Monday evening, sarcastically batting away questions, is a sure sign that he is under pressure. Finishing in the top four would be an achievement, nothing more. Ashton: Yes. To win a sixth FA Cup under one manager would be impressive, but Wenger wants another crack at the Premier League title before he calls it quits at the Emirates. To do that he will need a better squad, not team, than Chelsea and Manchester City. As good as Arsenal look at times, they do not have the muscular presence and stature of Chelsea. Ashton: A quiet word is needed because English football frowns upon it. I do actually have sympathy in some instances because I’m sure that a lot of players throw themselves to the floor to avoid robust challenges in situations where they think they might get injured or seriously hurt by an opposition player. Gareth Bale is a case in point, because he had a terrible reputation for diving when he was at Spurs. Ashton: He has added a protective force in the shape of Coquelin, an unexpected bonus after he was sent out on loan to Charlton. He has made the grade because he has finally listened to the coaches who told him that he could have a career in the position, provided he sacrificed his initial preference to be more extravagant on the ball. The big test is whether he can get the better of Nemanja Matic in the big games with Chelsea. If he can’t get to grips with him then they will be second best again next season. Ashton: It was a bizarre decision to substitute two players at half-time because United were in the ascendency after Rooney scored the equaliser. After the game Wenger even conceded that his players had been demoralised at half-time because they felt they did not deserve to have been pegged back. Van Gaal should have persisted for a little while longer, but the changes disrupted the team’s rhythm. It felt like a big mistake at the time and an even bigger one when Arsenal scored the winner.

<s>[INST] Host commentator . Ashton: The club need to be supportive off the field, to create an environment so that his family can settle in the north west and enjoy their life in Cheshire. His wife wants to leave the country and return to Argentina, and Di Maria is wrestling with that decision: Let her leave with the children and leave him to continue his United career, or move to another club more suited to their lifestyle in Europe. Tough one. CLICK HERE TO READ NEIL ASHTON'S FULL PLAYER RATINGS FROM OLD TRAFFORD . Ashton: Without a doubt. He looked the business with his great Ajax team in the Nineties and he has an excellent record in European football. The problem is that he has under-estimated some of the demands and the customs of English football, such as the Capital One Cup defeat at MK Dons and the failure to inspire the supporters at Old Trafford. He claimed United would be stronger in the second half of the season. They actually look disillusioned and directionless. Ashton: Busy. I was surprised that Van Gaal did not build from the back when he arrived, buying top class defenders (although I like Marcos Rojo) to make sure United would be difficult to beat. Everybody with a passing interest in the club knew that they would need defensive reinforcements after Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra left. The task of rescuing United and turning them into a formidable attacking presence again was bigger than he thought, possibly too big. Ashton: Not a lot, but at the pressure moment of the game he delivered. He spotted the back pass, the opportunity to take Arsenal into the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley if he could take advantage inside a stadium where he has only ever known what it is like to play in red. To finish the way he did, clipping the ball around the advancing figure of David de Dea, was a moment of composure and genuine class. CLICK HERE TO READ NEIL ASHTON'S FULL PLAYER RATINGS FROM OLD TRAFFORD . Ashton: Absolutely right. Van Gaal was dismissive of him when he decided to sell, claiming that he was not of the standard required for his new United team. He had been fairly anonymous until his goal, but he took it brilliantly. When he was substituted he showed respect for his surroundings by clapping all four corners of the stadium. You know in his heart of hearts he would still like to be a United player, but the decision was taken away from him. Ashton: History is on Arsenal’s side because they have won the trophy five times under Wenger. If Liverpool reach the final then it will be difficult for them to deviate from the narrative about it being a fitting send off for the captain Steven Gerrard before his move to LA Galaxy. The reality is that it would be a distraction, particularly for a team that hasn't won the competition since 2006. Having said that, Gerrard’s contribution to the 2006 FA Cup final against West Ham was superhuman. You could not rule out something special. Ashton: United measure their seasons on silverware, not top four finishes. At the moment they are making up the numbers, trying to work out where they are heading under a manager who appears uncertain of his own values. Van Gaal is becoming increasingly tetchy and his response on Monday evening, sarcastically batting away questions, is a sure sign that he is under pressure. Finishing in the top four would be an achievement, nothing more. Ashton: Yes. To win a sixth FA Cup under one manager would be impressive, but Wenger wants another crack at the Premier League title before he calls it quits at the Emirates. To do that he will need a better squad, not team, than Chelsea and Manchester City. As good as Arsenal look at times, they do not have the muscular presence and stature of Chelsea. Ashton: A quiet word is needed because English football frowns upon it. I do actually have sympathy in some instances because I’m sure that a lot of players throw themselves to the floor to avoid robust challenges in situations where they think they might get injured or seriously hurt by an opposition player. Gareth Bale is a case in point, because he had a terrible reputation for diving when he was at Spurs. Ashton: He has added a protective force in the shape of Coquelin, an unexpected bonus after he was sent out on loan to Charlton. He has made the grade because he has finally listened to the coaches who told him that he could have a career in the position, provided he sacrificed his initial preference to be more extravagant on the ball. The big test is whether he can get the better of Nemanja Matic in the big games with Chelsea. If he can’t get to grips with him then they will be second best again next season. Ashton: It was a bizarre decision to substitute two players at half-time because United were in the ascendency after Rooney scored the equaliser. After the game Wenger even conceded that his players had been demoralised at half-time because they felt they did not deserve to have been pegged back. Van Gaal should have persisted for a little while longer, but the changes disrupted the team’s rhythm. It felt like a big mistake at the time and an even bigger one when Arsenal scored the winner. Ashton: I am not sure he has a philosophy because he urges caution and does not want to play with risk, and yet he makes two huge gambles at half-time with his substitutions. Everybody can bring in players, but has he really identified the players who can turn United in to a team capable of challenging for the top four? Patience is beginning to wear thin.

Wolfsburg midfielder Kevin de Bruyne is a transfer target for Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. The former Chelsea man has been in sensational form this season, bagging nine goals and 17 assists in 26 appearances while helping steer Wolfsburg to second in the German league. De Bruyne is contracted to Wolfsburg until 2019 but, according to newspaper Sport Bild, Bayern are keeping tabs on the Belgian as Pep Guardiola's side look to line up a long-term successor to Arjen Robben, who is out of contract in 2017.

The Belgian international (right) has scored nine goals in 26 appearances for Wolfsburg so far this season . Bild also report that Bayern may wait until the summer of 2016 to make a move for De Bruyne, who they believe is currently worth around £35million on current form. Meanwhile, De Bruyne's Wolfsburg team-mate Marcel Schafer has urged the 23-year-old to stay for at least another season. He told reporters: 'I think that our chances [of keeping De Bruyne] are really good. He has already experienced not getting so much time on the field at Chelsea, a top club in Europe. Jose Mourinho deemed De Bruyne surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge last year . 'And that is why I think the best thing for him would be to stay for minimum one more year at Wolfsburg. Next year he could play Champions League here and win titles with us. 'If you want to win titles you need extraordinary players. And you really have to say that Kevin de Bruyne is at the moment the best player in the Bundesliga not only because of his stats. You can see that in every single game.

Former deputy leader of Rotherham Council Emma Hoddinott (pictured) admitted there are illegal, underage brides in the town's Roma community . Roma gipsy immigrants are illegally marrying underage girls as young as 12 before bringing them to the UK to live. Girls as young as 12 and 13 are regularly being married off in exchange for thousands of pounds in countries including Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary before being brought to Britain. The former deputy leader of Rotherham Council, where more than 1,400 schoolgirls were sexually exploited by Asian gangs, made the revelation at a meeting this week. It has prompted calls for an urgent investigation into how many child brides are living in Britain's estimated 250,000-strong Roma community. The arranged marriages of girls under 16 is common in Roma communities, where families follow the Gypsy code Pachiv which encourages girls to marry soon after reaching puberty. The code dictates that the head of the large family group is always obeyed and in some cases large sums of money can be involved when matchmakers seek out a suitable young girl for marriage. During a meeting of the full council in Rotherham this week, Independent councillor Martyn Parker repeatedly questioned former deputy leader Emma Hoddinott over the claims. Cllr Hoddinott finally admitted there are illegal brides in the town's large Eastern European immigrant community, adding it was 'unacceptable'. Cllr Parker said : 'On the Roma community you're not answering my questions. I've asked five times now and you're still avoiding it. 'I asked are there any people in the Roma community in Rotherham married to underage children - that's under 16-years-old. 'We need a bit of honesty for the people of Rotherham or we will go nowhere.' Cllr Hoddinott replied: 'It's a simple answer - yes, children are being married underage and that is unacceptable. 'We have to work with police to tackle that and we have to work with the commissioners to make sure there are actions in place to tackle these issues. Rotherham Council (pictured) heard there are underage illegal child brides in the town's Roma community . 'Underage marriage is an issue in Rotherham and we have to tackle that. Part of that is understanding how we tackle it. 'We need to get it right - we can't write off those girls because they are in that community.' But she said she was unable to say how many children in the town might be married to men already. But Cllr Parker said: 'You say you can't get the information, but a passport has marital status on it. If you're concerned about a child then you can get that information from the police - saying you can't answer is unacceptable. 'If they're here legally then they're here on a passport and the police can find out.' Speaking after the meeting he said: 'Officially in Rotherham there are 6,500 Roma gypsies but unofficially it is more like 7,500. Cllr Martyn Parker (pictured) said young Roma girls are being married off and brought to Rotherham . 'I believe there are young Roma girls who come over here already married. They couldn't possibly legally marry here. 'But when I have asked for information I have been told that it is not possible to find out but I believe council officials should be looking into this. 'We have already got the child sexual exploitation scandal in Rotherham and I don't want us in five or ten years time to have the same situation with this. 'Just because a child is allowed to marry at the age of 12 or 13 in another country doesn't mean we have to change our laws to accommodate that. We have one law which should be fairly implemented for everyone who lives here wherever they have come from. Two damning reports into child sex abuse in Rotherham revealed that more than 1,400 young girls were groomed, trafficked and abused by gangs of mostly Pakistani men over a 16-year period. Police and the town's Labour Council were accused of covering up the abuse. The Government has since appointed commissioners to take over running of the scandal-hit council. A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: 'South Yorkshire Police is committed to tackling issues of underage and forced marriage. 'Part of our strategy for tackling issues of forced marriage is that we consider the benefits of working in partnership locally and nationally. 'Because forced marriage is often a hidden and under-reported crime, we recognise within South Yorkshire that there is a need to develop creative and flexible ways to break down any barriers and to encourage full and active engagement with local agencies, communities and groups. 'Information regarding forced marriage issues can be received from various sources and involve sensitive and complex issues. Therefore within South Yorkshire Police we have specially trained officers who deal with such matters, such as domestic violence officers, and child protection officers. 'We would encourage any victim of forced marriage to come forward and report it to police, in the confidence that they will be listened to, that they will be taken seriously and that a thorough investigation will take place.' Anyone with information about underage or forced marriage is asked to contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

With battery life still topping the list of most people’s smartphone wishlists, a London-based manufacturer has launched a handset with exactly this in mind. Kazam’s latest flagship, the Tornado 552L, has an ‘extreme’ power save mode that can extend battery life for up to a staggering 33 hours. When the battery reaches 10 per cent the power save mode kicks in and turns the whole screen black and white. Kazam’s Tornado 552L (pictured) has an ‘extreme’ power save mode that can extend battery life for up to a staggering 33 hours. When the battery reaches 10 per cent the power save mode kicks in . It also shuts down or manages certain services and apps to save as much energy as possible. This 33-hour figure is the absolute maximum and only applies when the phone is on standby. The total battery life on standby is almost two days or 45 hours approximately. Frame: Metal U-shaped skeleton measuring 5.5mm thick . Processor: 1.7Ghz octa-core processor . Screen: 5.2-inch capacitive touchscreen . Cameras: 13MP main camera and 8MP front camera with Magic Focus and LED flash . Battery: 45 hours on standby plus extreme power save mode . Software: Android 5.0 Lollipop . Extras: Kazam’s cracked screen replacement, Rescue package and three-year warranty as standard . Price: To be announced, but should be in the region of £290 (€400) As with any battery life, the length of time will drop depending on how much it is being used. These are bold claims, however, and MailOnline will be putting the phone and its battery life to the test later this month. Other features on the flagship phone including a 5.2-inch touchscreen. The Tornado 552L runs the latest Android software 5.0 Lollipop, without a skin, and has a 13MP rear-facing and 8MP front-facing camera. Sleek: Other features on the flagship phone including a 5.2-inch touchscreen . It runs on a 1.7Ghz octa-core processor and is super slim at 5.5mm. It is part of the same Kazam range that includes the world’s thinnest handset, the Tornado 348 at 5.15mm. And to make the phone stronger, Kazam told MailOnline the phone has a unique so-called ‘U-shaped’ skeleton, or frame, designed to withstand knocks and drops better than other models. Elsewhere, the 552L comes with customisable gesture controls. For example, drawing a C in front of the phone’s screen opens the camera while drawing an M plays music. These are the stock gestures, but a range of shapes including V, W, S and Z as well as two-finger swipes up, down, left and right can be tailored to whatever function the user needs. Plus all Kazam phones offer free cracked screen replacements for the first year, a Rescue service that gives users direct access to technical support and three-year warranties as standard. The handset will be available across Europe but prices and availability haven’t been announced. As a guide, the Tornado 348 starts at £249 (342 Euros) and the 552L is expected to be in the region of £290 (400 Euros). The official price will be announced nearer the time of launch later this year. ‘MWC 2015 is a huge show for Kazam and the launch of the Tornado 552L shows our commitment to delivering a top of the range phone at an attractive price point,’ said Kazam boss Michael Coombes. ‘This phone combines distinctive, super slim design with super fast processing speeds, an incredible camera and all the unique Kazam service offerings including cracked screen replacement, Kazam Rescue and three-year warranty.’ At the event Kazam also unveiled a 4.5-inch Trooper 445L, three tablets running Windows 8.1 - called L10, L8 and L7 - and a feature phone called the Life C6.

<s>[INST] With battery life still topping the list of most people’s smartphone wishlists, a London-based manufacturer has launched a handset with exactly this in mind. Kazam’s latest flagship, the Tornado 552L, has an ‘extreme’ power save mode that can extend battery life for up to a staggering 33 hours. When the battery reaches 10 per cent the power save mode kicks in and turns the whole screen black and white. Kazam’s Tornado 552L (pictured) has an ‘extreme’ power save mode that can extend battery life for up to a staggering 33 hours. When the battery reaches 10 per cent the power save mode kicks in . It also shuts down or manages certain services and apps to save as much energy as possible. This 33-hour figure is the absolute maximum and only applies when the phone is on standby. The total battery life on standby is almost two days or 45 hours approximately. Frame: Metal U-shaped skeleton measuring 5.5mm thick . Processor: 1.7Ghz octa-core processor . Screen: 5.2-inch capacitive touchscreen . Cameras: 13MP main camera and 8MP front camera with Magic Focus and LED flash . Battery: 45 hours on standby plus extreme power save mode . Software: Android 5.0 Lollipop . Extras: Kazam’s cracked screen replacement, Rescue package and three-year warranty as standard . Price: To be announced, but should be in the region of £290 (€400) As with any battery life, the length of time will drop depending on how much it is being used. These are bold claims, however, and MailOnline will be putting the phone and its battery life to the test later this month. Other features on the flagship phone including a 5.2-inch touchscreen. The Tornado 552L runs the latest Android software 5.0 Lollipop, without a skin, and has a 13MP rear-facing and 8MP front-facing camera. Sleek: Other features on the flagship phone including a 5.2-inch touchscreen . It runs on a 1.7Ghz octa-core processor and is super slim at 5.5mm. It is part of the same Kazam range that includes the world’s thinnest handset, the Tornado 348 at 5.15mm. And to make the phone stronger, Kazam told MailOnline the phone has a unique so-called ‘U-shaped’ skeleton, or frame, designed to withstand knocks and drops better than other models. Elsewhere, the 552L comes with customisable gesture controls. For example, drawing a C in front of the phone’s screen opens the camera while drawing an M plays music. These are the stock gestures, but a range of shapes including V, W, S and Z as well as two-finger swipes up, down, left and right can be tailored to whatever function the user needs. Plus all Kazam phones offer free cracked screen replacements for the first year, a Rescue service that gives users direct access to technical support and three-year warranties as standard. The handset will be available across Europe but prices and availability haven’t been announced. As a guide, the Tornado 348 starts at £249 (342 Euros) and the 552L is expected to be in the region of £290 (400 Euros). The official price will be announced nearer the time of launch later this year. ‘MWC 2015 is a huge show for Kazam and the launch of the Tornado 552L shows our commitment to delivering a top of the range phone at an attractive price point,’ said Kazam boss Michael Coombes. ‘This phone combines distinctive, super slim design with super fast processing speeds, an incredible camera and all the unique Kazam service offerings including cracked screen replacement, Kazam Rescue and three-year warranty.’ At the event Kazam also unveiled a 4.5-inch Trooper 445L, three tablets running Windows 8.1 - called L10, L8 and L7 - and a feature phone called the Life C6.

A man who dropped out of university to start his own computer gaming business has sold the company for £20million. Craig Fletcher started Multiplay in his bedroom at his parents' home in Blackfield, Hampshire, some 20 years ago. The 36-year-old has now sold the company - whose 50 employees include Mr Fletcher's mother and brother - to video game retailer Game Digital. Scroll down for video . Entrepreneur: Craig Fletcher, pictured with his girlfriend, Pippa Caygill, who started Multiplay in his bedroom at his parents' home in Langley, Hampshire, some 20 years ago, has now sold the company for £20million . Remaining modest, Mr Fletcher said he plans to use the money from the sale to buy a new house for himself and girlfriend Pippa Caygill - and to pay off his brothers' mortgages. In 1994, when competitive online gaming was in its infancy, Mr Fletcher organised his first tournament, where 20 of his friends played first-person shooter Doom II at a Southampton hotel. He continued to organise weekend events while studying medicine at Edinburgh University, but they soon attracted hundreds of people and the hobby began placing more demands on his time. Mr Fletcher said: 'I originally started it as a hobby, something that I did for fun. I got to my final year of medical school and realised it was getting silly. 'I'd fly down on a Wednesday to organise an event with hundreds of people at the weekend and then head back for exams. I had to give the company a shot.' He dropped out of university in 2001 to work on Multiplay full-time and his mother, father and brother joined the business. Family business: Craig Fletcher, centre, with parents Tom, 72, and Yvonne, 67 (left) and brother Stewart, 47 . Working out of the family's four-bedroom home in Langley, the team continued to grow the business. Now, the company has 50 members of staff at their headquarters in Southampton, Hampshire. And more than 10 million users from around the world connect to Multiplay each month to play popular games like Minecraft and the Battlefield series. Mr Fletcher's father, Tom, 72, has retired from the company, but his 67-year-old mother Yvonne continues to work as the office secretary. Modest: Mr Fletcher, pictured, said he plans to use the money from the sale to buy a new house for himself and girlfriend Pippa Caygill . Mr Fletcher said the money made from selling the business will go towards paying off the mortgages of his brothers Paul, 48, and Stewart, 47, who works for Multiplay as operations director. He added that he and his partner, Pippa Caygill, 30, a urology surgical registrar, will likely move to a new home near Romsey, Hampshire. He said: 'We're very happy. This is a reward for those of us who have risked an awful lot. It recognises the hard work that everybody puts in. 'I honestly haven't thought about how else I'll spend the money, I'm more focused on getting the business out there. I did sneak a look at a few cars, though.' Mr Fletcher, who currently drives a Jaguar Xf, has been looking at Aston Martins, his mother said. He added that a lot of the cash will be reinvested in new equipment. 'The sky's the limit. We have had a rocket put under us and we're going to be growing very fast,' he said. 'I wouldn't be surprised if there were 150 people working here in three years' time. We've got some big ambitions.' With the business initially revolving around him playing online and establishing contacts, now he hardly has any time to play games himself as work takes over. He said: 'The last game I played quite a lot was Eve Online [an online multiplayer game set in space]. I exist so that other people can play.' He added: 'Who knew this little tech company could grow so fast and do so much? 'We have been working with Game for quite a while. They were the first exhibitor who came to one of our shows.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has delivered a warning against a boycott of the 2018 World Cup and insisted the world governing body had every right to move the 2022 tournament to the winter. Ukraine's president has called for a boycott of the 2018 tournament in protest at Russian military involvement with pro-Moscow separatists. Blatter responded by claiming the World Cup could actually help bring peace. FIFA president Sepp Blatter insists the 2018 World Cup will take place in Russia . He told a news conference in Zurich: 'What is 100 per cent is that the World Cup will take place in Russia in 2018, that's sure. 'A boycott of the World Cup or any sporting event has never brought any solutions to anybody. 'The European Parliamentary committee is asking for a boycott of the World Cup three or four months ago - it was a boycott of the World Cup in Qatar and now it is the World Cup in Russia. 'In my opinion the World Cup in Russia will be able to stabilise all that region in Europe.' Blatter said he had been buoyed by IOC president Thomas Bach and German FA president Wolfgang Niersbach coming out against a boycott. Asked whether FIFA should apologise for the chaos caused by playing the Qatar tournament in winter, Blatter added: 'This was a decision taken by executive committee of FIFA, they have a right to do it. If something happened the FIFA ExCo can change so we can also say play in winter.' FIFA has also moved to head off opposition from the clubs over playing the 2022 World Cup . FIFA has announced it made a profit of $338m (£227.2m) over the last four years and now has cash in the bank totalling $1.5bn (£1bn). Blatter said reserves that size are needed in case a World Cup, which generates almost all the money for FIFA, had to be moved or postponed. FIFA has also moved to head off opposition from the clubs over playing the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in the winter by trebling the amount clubs who release players will receive for the tournaments from $70m (£47.3m) in Brazil last year to $209m (£141.3m) for Russia and Qatar. Blatter, 79, is standing for a fifth term of president on May 29 and faces three rivals, but has so far not released a manifesto. Asked about that issue, he responded: 'I am not campaigning, I am doing my job as FIFA president and I will do that until last day of my mandate which was given to me in 2011. 'My manifesto is the work I have done in FIFA - I have now been 40 years in FIFA and 17 years as president of FIFA. This is my manifesto.'

Clairvoyant Timothy Abbott swindled almost £70,000 in disability benefit by claiming he could barely walk . A clairvoyant who swindled almost £70,000 in disability benefit by claiming he could barely was jailed after he was filmed working out in a gym. Spiritualist Timothy Abbott, 53, conned the taxpayer out of thousands of pounds in disability, council tax and housing benefits along with his wife Jeanette, 46. The couple pocketed a total of £170,000 during their 16-year scam, including Mr Abbott taking £35,496 in incapacity benefit and £22,848 in disability living allowance. The medium was filmed lifting heavy dumbbells, using an exercise bike, rowing machine and running on a treadmill and pleaded guilty to two counts of failing to notify the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) of a change in circumstances. Mr Abbott also admitted conning HMRC out of £9,532 by failing to pay income tax or national insurance contributions. Meanwhile his wife falsely claimed £19,477 in disability allowance and £713 in incapacity benefit, along with £1,000 in council tax benefit, Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court heard. Investigators filmed her bending down and carrying a heavy shoulder bag while on a shopping trip in 2012. She also failed to pay £37,000 worth of income support and conned Staffordshire County Council out of £44,000 in housing benefits. On his website, Abbott is described as being one of Britain's most 'evidential platform Mediums'. It goes on to say he was aware of the spirit world from the age of 19 before he 'embarked on his journey of development' by studying for over 30 years. His services are apparently in demand in countries such as Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Canada. He and his wife lived together in a modern £200,000 detached house in Stafford until their scam, which went on for 16 years between 1998 and 2014, was rumbled. Mr Abbott - who advertises himself as an 'international spiritualist clairvoyant medium and tutor' - was yesterday jailed for eight months. Mrs Abbott admitted three counts of failing to notify the DWP of a change in circumstances, one count of making a false statement and one of falsely obtaining benefits by deception. She was handed an eight-month prison sentence, suspended for 18 months. Abbott's scam was rumbled after investigators filmed him working out in a gym and lifting dumbbells .

After the case, a DWP spokesman said: 'Benefit fraud is a crime and we are dedicated to catching those who commit it. 'Only a small minority of benefit claimants are dishonest, but cases like this cost the taxpayer money that should be used to help those in need. 'We are determined to find those who we suspect are cheating the system by following up on tip-offs, undertaking surveillance and working with local councils.' A proceeds of crime hearing on June 30 will determine how much the couple must pay back. Speaking after the sentencing, Mrs Abbott said: 'It has been two and half years of hell and I don't really want to talk about it as my husband got put away yesterday. It's killing me.'

Moscow (CNN)Kim Jong Un is expected to attend World War II anniversary celebrations in Moscow at Russia's invitation, a Russian official speaking on condition of anonymity said Thursday. North Korea accepted Russia's invitation, but Russia is waiting on Pyongyang to make the official announcement about the May trip, the official said. This would mark Kim's first official foreign trip since inheriting the leadership in late 2011. "The invitation was sent to Kim Jong Un. North Korea accepted the invitation. The leadership of North Korea is expected to take part in Victory Day celebrations in Moscow," the Russian official said. The official later clarified: "By leadership, we're talking about Kim." So far, North Korean state media has not issued any statement about the invitation. This year's Victory Day marks the 70th anniversary of the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. Chatter over whether Kim would make his first official overseas trip during the pivotal anniversary started in late December after Russian state media reported that Moscow had extended an invitation to Pyongyang. On December 22, Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov told Itar-Tass: "First signals are given from Pyongyang that the North Korean leader plans to come to Moscow and attend celebrations." Recently, Russia and North Korea have been fostering warmer relations. If Kim appears in Russia along with other world leaders, he may look like a minor figure, said Dr. Leonid Petrov, an Asian studies professor who specializes in the political history of North Korea. "In a setting with a large crowd of state officials, in group pictures, he would look like a minor figure instead of what he's portrayed in North Korean media as supreme leader, invincible marshal, jack of all trades. "So I think if Kim Jong Un decides to go to Moscow, he's going to look like a very lonely, lonely figure." The Kremlin has invited 68 world leaders to its Victory Day celebrations on May 9, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov as quoted on Russian network RT. He was quoted in Russian media as saying that Chinese President Xi Jinping will also attend. In the last year, Russia and North Korea, two historical allies, have increasingly established stronger ties as Russian President Vladimir Putin faces international backlash over the war in Ukraine. The two countries declared 2015 their "Friendship Year." Both countries have been slapped with sanctions by the United States and are facing international isolation. "North Korea is a convenient friend for Moscow -- it's anti-American and it's in a key place of Asia," Petrov said. "Russia lost many of its traditional allies -- it needs friends, both economically, politically, strategically." Ties between North Korea and Russia date back to World War II, when Kim Jong Un's grandfather and founder of the country, Kim Il Sung, trained as a communist guerrilla leader in the Soviet Union. Throughout Kim's subsequent reign, the Soviet Union backed the nation. After the Soviet Union crumbled in the early 1990s, North Korea became increasingly reliant on China. Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, visited Moscow several times, with his last visit in 2011. The late Kim rode into Russia in an armored train (he disliked flying) and met with both Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. "Moscow undertook a diplomatic offensive" with North Korea, said Petrov, of Australian National University. "It absolved $10 billion of Soviet-era debts from the account books and started rebooting relationships between North Korea and Russia." Last year, Russia forgave 90% of North Korea's $11 billion debt. CNN's Alla Eshchenko reported in Moscow, and Madison Park wrote and reported in Hong Kong.

Enner Valencia is out of West Ham’s trip to Arsenal after treading on a broken cup at home. And the bizarre injury to Sam Allardyce’s £12million summer signing leaves the Hammers boss with just one recognised striker fit to face Arsene Wenger’s side. When asked how his frontline was shaping up, Hammers boss Allardyce admitted: 'Well there is one but it's not really an injury in terms of an accident, which is Enner Valencia. Enner Valencia (centre) will miss the Barclays Premier League clash against Arsenal on Saturday . Valencia, pictured in action against Chelsea, has been ruled out after treading on a broken cup . 'He had an accident at home and has cut his big toe quite severely on a broken cup and that's been stitched. 'We're not exactly sure [how long he is out for] but we think it will be too soon to be considered for this game. 'So a freak accident at home is something that we didn't expect and these are the things that seem to happen.' Valencia has struggled to make an impact with just five goals in 30 appearances since his move to east London. Valencia, challenging Gary Cahill for the ball in West Ham's defeat against Chelsea, has struggled this term . Sam Allardycwe has come under growing pressure at West Ham after a disappointing run for the Hammers . But he could still have anticipated featuring heavily in the Hammers' run-in with Andy Carroll expected to be out until the end of the season after undergoing surgery to repair torn knee ligaments. Carlton Cole is also out of Saturday’s London derby as he steps up his training schedule in a bid to return from a hamstring strain. So it means Diafra Sakho is the only frontman available to Allardyce at The Emirates as his side try to get back to winning ways after going through their five games in February without a victory. 'Of course [Valencia] being one of our few strikers that were available, it's a big blow for us,' Allardyce added. Here Sportsmail looks at other unusual injuries which have kept footballers out of action over the years. RICHARD WRIGHT: Wright was ruled out of Everton's FA Cup fourth-round replay at Chelsea after suffering a freak injury during the warm-up. Wright ignored a notice warning him not to practice in the goalmouth and promptly fell over the sign, suffering a twisted ankle. The same player also damaged his shoulder falling through a loft as he was trying to pack away his suitcases. RIO FERDINAND: During his spell at Leeds the England defender managed to pick up a tendon strain in his knee watching television. Ferdinand had his foot up on a coffee table for a number of hours and ended up injuring a tendon behind his knee. SEAN FLYNN: The then Kidderminster captain suffered a broken nose, busted lip and bruised toes after tripping over his son's toy cars. DAVE BEASANT: The veteran goalkeeper managed to rule himself out for eight weeks in 1993 when he dropped a bottle of salad cream on his foot, severing the tendon in his big toe. DAVID JAMES: The England goalkeeper once pulled a muscle in his back when reaching for the television remote control and the keen angler also tweaked his shoulder when trying to land a monster carp. ALEX STEPNEY: In 1975 the Manchester United goalkeeper Alex Stepney dislocated his jaw while shouting at his defenders during a match against Birmingham. CHIC BRODIE: The Brentford goalkeeper's career came to an abrupt end in October 1970 when he collided with a sheepdog which had run on to the pitch. Brodie shattered his kneecap while the dog got the ball. "The dog might have been a small one, but it just happened to be a solid one," he reflected. SANTIAGO CANIZARES: The Spain goalkeeper missed the 2002 World Cup after accidentally shattering a bottle of aftershave in his hotel sink. A piece of glass fell on his foot, severing a tendon in his big toe. ALAN WRIGHT: The diminutive former Aston Villa full-back strained his knee by stretching to reach the accelerator in his new Ferrari. He subsequently swapped the sports car for a Rover 416. SVEIN GRONDALEN: The Norway defender had to withdraw from an international during the 1970s after colliding with a moose while out jogging. KEVIN KYLE: The Scotland and Sunderland striker missed a game having scalded his testicles and thigh whilst attempting to feed his eight-month-old son, who kicked a jug of hot water over his father whilst sat on his lap. ALAN MULLERY: The England star missed the 1964 tour of South America after injuring his back while brushing his teeth. DARREN BARNARD: The former Barnsley midfielder was sidelined for five months with a torn knee ligament after he slipped in a puddle of his puppy's urine on the kitchen floor. LEE HODGES: The then Barnet player slipped on a bar of soap in the shower and wrenched his groin. KIRK BROADFOOT: The Rangers defender scalded a cheek when an egg he had poached in the microwave blew up and squirted hot water into his face. The Scotland international was treated in hospital but managed to not let his egg error rule him out of any games. CHARLIE GEORGE: Arsenal's 1971 FA Cup hero managed to cut off his toe with a lawnmower. DARIUS VASSELL: The then Aston Villa striker missed several games after he drilled through his toe nail with a home power drill thinking it would relieve the pressure on a swollen toe. The attempt at DIY surgery succeeded only in giving the toe an infection which required medical attention.
Enner Valencia will miss Emirates trip after suffering bizarre injury . It leaves under-fire Sam Allardyce with just one recognised striker . Valencia has struggled to make an impact at West Ham this season . The £12million signing has scored only five goals in 30 appearances .

A six months pregnant woman from Pennsylvania faces up to five years in jail for allegedly hiding 89 packets of heroin inside a 'body cavity'. The North Jersey Record reports that retail worker Marina McCarthy, 22, of Gouldsboro, was secretly filmed on Friday afternoon reaching into her pants as she sat in the back of a police SUV. She had apparently been stopped while traveling with her 27-year-old mechanic boyfriend, Dakota Dunning, because the car he was driving had a temporary registration plate that was not visible.

Captain Jonathan Miller told the North Jersey Record that troopers got increasingly suspicious that there were drugs on the scene as they spotted 'fresh needle track marks' on Dunning. A K-9 dog also detected an illegal substance, according to the report. Dunning and McCarthy were arrested and taken to Glen Rock Police Department in New Jersey for further questioning.

A British clairvoyant warned Abraham Lincoln that his life was in danger weeks before he was assassinated, a historian claims. It is thought Charles Colchester, a medium who was close to the first lady, told the president of the threat in the early months of 1865. Lincoln was shot dead by actor John Wilkes Booth as he watched a play in a private box at Ford's Theatre, Washington DC, on the night of April 14 that year. Assassinated: An illustration shows John Wilkes Booth shooting President Lincoln at Ford's Theatre on April 14, 1865. Clairvoyant Charles Colchester had become close to first lady Mary Todd Lincoln, pictured centre . But while Colchester may have been passing on the information as a mystic warning, it is likely the information came directly from the assassin - who was also his drinking companion. Colchester's relationship with the president has been well-document, but until now historians have not connected him with Booth, Professor Terry Alford writes in Fortune's Fool, a new biography of the assassin, according to The Times. The medium became known to the Lincoln family after he was summoned by first lady Mary Todd Lincoln when she was looking to communicate with her dead 11-year-old son, Willie. Colchester, the illegitimate son of a duke, impressed Mrs Lincoln and was invited to hold a number of seances at the White House and the Soldiers' Home, the president's summer retreat. Warning: Abraham Lincoln, was told his life was in danger weeks before his death, it is claimed . But while he became important to the first lady, it appears he was unable to convince the president of his powers, writes Professor Terry Alford. On one occasion the president asked Joseph Henry, of the Smithsonian Institute, to investigate how Colchester was able to summon noises in different parts of a room - evidence, he claimed, of his ability to communicate with spirits. Mr Henry was forced to report that he was unable to find an explanation. (It was later discovered Colchester had an electrical noise-maker strapped to his bicep). His close relationship to the first lady allowed Colchester to become part of the Washington social scene. It was there he met Booth and the two men became friends, writes Professor Alford. 'They would go out and get drunk together,' he told The Times. In the weeks before the assassination, Booth was staying at the National Hotel - less than six blocks from Ford's Theatre. Colchester visited him there often, writes Alford. In early 1865 Booth abandoned his plan to kidnap Lincoln and decided instead to assassinate him. He shared his plot with a number of trusted friends in Washington, but it is not clear whether Booth was one of them. What is known is that, in April 1865 - the month of the assassination - another friend urged the president to be mindful of his personal safety, Lincoln replied: 'Colchester has been telling me that'. Colchester fled Washington after being confronted by a member of the president's inner circle following a blackmail attempt on the first lady. He died in Iowa a few years later. Fortune's Fool: The Life of John Wilkes Booth, will be published in Britain by Oxford University Press on May 28.

It is thought Charles Colchester, a medium who was close to the first lady, told the president of the threat in the early months of 1865.

A schoolteacher who says she could never get a boyfriend because she looked like a MAN spent £40,000 on 22 different plastic surgery operations - and is now dating. Gina Blacks, of Tottenham, north London, travelled abroad to five different countries for operations including boob jobs, liposuction and tummy tucks and implants to her chin and hair transplants. The 39-year-old underwent the ops because she was so sick of receiving jibes about her manly appearance she was left feeling like an 'undateable monster'. Cruel men left Gina Blacks feeling like an undatable monster, but after under-going £40,000 worth of surgery and having 22 operations including boob jobs and liposuction she finally feels good about herself . Gina had hair restoration in 2009 in Bangkok, she has traveled around the world to have her different operations . But after eight years of surgery she now feels like a movie star - and is being inundated with attention from hunky blokes. Now Gina says men can't leave her alone and she is constantly being stopped in the street by bachelors begging for a date. Gina said: 'Men who were repulsed by me in the past are now stopping me in the streets and begging to take me out. 'I spent my younger years completely alone, wishing I had a boyfriend. Now they're wishing they had me.' Sick of feeling unattractive, Gina - in 2007, then aged 31 - began ploughing her savings into cosmetic surgery after a lifetime of feeling lonely. Gina was 31 when she first began ploughing into her savings to fund her plastic surgery - she said the bullying affected her confidence and she felt like she had no friends . Gina used to be a teacher but she has now left that behind to start her own online store: Gina Blacks' Online Beauty Store . Gina then left teaching in 2013 to launch Gina Blacks' Online Beauty Store and had her most recent operation in summer last year. She, who is currently looking for a new man, said: 'The worst period that I lived through was in my adolescents, during school and even at university people would call out rude comments to me. 'It affected my confidence I had no friends. People didn't want to know me or be my friend. I wasn't attractive to people for sexual relationships. 'I thought I looked ugly and manly and I had problems dating, men didn't find me attractive. I had a few flings but I just didn't find myself attractive.' Gina said she had a few flings before she embarked on her operations but she did not find herself attractive . Gina says she now feels like a model thanks to her £40,000 make-over but she wouldn't put herself at the levels of Kate Moss and co . But she believes spending eight years in an out of hospitals across England, Tunisia, Pakistan, Cyprus, Belgium, Thailand, has paid off despite having to undergo corrective surgery for botched operations. She said: 'I wouldn't put myself at the level of Kate Moss, Beyonce or Naomi Campbell but I feel like a model. 'It may have cost me my life savings but it was worth it. I only have one regret, I should have transformed myself sooner.'

Russian television presenter and opposition supporter Ksenia Sobchak has received death threats following the murder of Boris Nemtsov . A glamorous Russian television presenter and opposition campaigner - who Vladimir Putin has known since she was a child - today revealed she is facing internet threats warning she will be the next to die after slain Boris Nemtsov. Ksenia Sobchak, 33, retweeted sickening messages, one of which warned her: 'Give up Ksenia, your death will be fast.' The poisonous postings - which also threaten other prominent Putin foes - came after she gave a warm recollection of Mr Nemtsov, remembering how, as a child, she was taken on a sledge ride by him in Davos, Switzerland. Mr Nemtsov was gunned to death in the shadow of the Kremlin late on Friday. Ms Sobchak is the daughter of Putin's political mentor, the late Anatoly Sobchak, liberal mayor of St Petersburg, the Russian President's former law professor who gave him his first political job after he quit the KGB. For years there were rumours that she was Putin's goddaughter - and though this is not the case, many of his supporters have not forgiven her stinging and articulate opposition to his policies. One tweet, using an insulting nickname for the TV host, posted online about Mr Nemtsov's slaying said: 'I am also very happy that there is one bastard less; when is it your turn, Horse?' A user called Vadim, posting a picture of a man pointing a gun, and a list of six prominent opposition surnames - Nemtsov, Navalny, Sobchak, Kudrin, Kasyanov, Khodorkovsky - wrote: 'Just politics, nothing personal'. Mr Nemtsov's name has been ticked off and Ms Sobchak's was number three on the list. 'Good News' - another user - sent Ms Sobchak a message which said: 'Give up Ksenia, your death will be fast'. He used the hashtag: 'Death to Sobchak'. User Unosobad posted: 'Your turn soon, Ksysha. MGER and RKSM promise it.' Ksysha is a fond name in Russian for Ksenia while the acronyms stand for radical groupings - the Young Squadron of United Russia, and the Russian Communist Youth Union. Ms Sobchak (right), who has known Vladimir Putin (left) since she was a child, was threatened after she recalled fond memories of Mr Nemtsov . The glamorous television presenter has long-opposed Putin's policies despite it being being rumoured for years that she was the president's goddaughter . Opposition supporters Ksenia Sobchak (right) and Ilya Yashin (left) join mourners in Moscow hours after the shooting of Boris Nemtsov . Last year, Ms Sobchak claimed many well-to-do young Russians were fleeing the country because of Putin's authoritarian policies and the Ukrainian conflict. In the wake of Mr Nemtsov's death, she warned that Putin had unleashed forces in Russia over which he now has no control. 'Actually it would be in some way less worrying if Putin had ordered Nemtsov's killing,' she wrote. 'It would be an awful system, but at least a system, a manageable system. But I feel, unfortunately, this is not the case. 'There is no Putin who gave a command to kill. But there is a Putin who has built a hellish Terminator, and he has lost control of it.' She also warned: 'There is no one controlling the process any more - there is chaotic hatred. 'Hatred that is fuelled every day by the federal mass media.' Ms Sobchak's late father Anatoly (left) was Mayor of St Petersburg with Putin as his deputy . President Putin clutches flowers at Ms Sobchak's father's funeral in 2000 . Of the shots that killed Mr Nemtsov, she said in her blog: 'These are only the first six bullets. There are troubled times ahead.' In December, she bravely challenged Putin in a television press conference, quizzing him about 'fifth columnists' - groups of people who bring down a government from within. Opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was shot dead in Moscow on Friday night . Putin predicted that the West would use such people to undermine Russia. 'Action by a fifth column, this disparate bunch of national traitors,' he said. Although he did not name who the 'traitors' were, Russian language sites soon suggested opposition figures including Mr Nemtsov and Ms Sobchak. When she was called to ask a question at Putin's press conference, the president chided his press spokesman: 'Why did you give her the floor?' Ms Sobchak told Putin: 'I would like to clarify for myself and our audience this fine line between the fifth column and the opposition.' She also claimed 'bullying' was again rife in Russia, as it was in her father's time, when Putin had acted to protect him. Earlier the former IT girl told how wealthy Russians are seeking an escape route. 'This is the main society talk in good restaurants in Moscow. It is either getting citizenship, or residence permits, or the like,' she said. Mr Nemtsov was shot dead on Friday night as he walked home with his Ukrainian model girlfriend Anna Duritskaya, 23. She has been held under armed guard by the Russians since and has not been allowed to return to Kiev. There are fears the Kremlin is trying to link the shooting to the conflict in Ukraine. An estimated 70,000 marched through Moscow yesterday to mourn the fallen opposition leader and to protest against the Putin government.

A Fort Worth woman turned 104 this week, and she credits a very special doctor for her good health and longevity: Dr Pepper. Elizabeth Sullivan fell in love with the 23-flavored soft drink 40 years ago, when she was in her 60s. 'People try to give me coffee for breakfast. Well I'd rather have a Dr Pepper,' she said. 'I started drinking them about 40 years ago. Three a day. Every doctor that sees me says they'll kill you, but they die and I don't, so there must be a mistake somewhere.' Scroll down for video . Elizabeth Sullivan turned 104 this week, and on Wednesday the CEO of Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Larry Young, surprised her with a very Dr Pepper-filled day . Sullivan has been drinking Dr Pepper for 40 years, since she was in her 60s. She drinks about three cans a day . Larry Young, the CEO of Dr Pepper Snapple Group, gave Sullivan a big surprise for her birthday on Wednesday: a cake designed to look like the carbonated drink's can, a gift basket and plenty of bottles of the pop to drink, according to CBS Dallas Fort Worth. As she reveled in excitement from the day, Sullivan reflected on her age. 'Well at 103 I didn't think I'd make it, but I'm still perking along,' she told CBS. 'When you live to be 104 and can still talk to nice people, you deserve some Dr Pepper, but I never expected this.' The Dr Pepper Snapple company came to Sullivan's house and surprised her with a Dr Pepper-can-shaped birthday cake that read 'Happy 104th Birthday Elizabeth' Sullivan was also given a gift basket, which included a T-shirt, bottles of the carbonated soft drink and a myriad of other goodies . Sullivan taught math at Paschal High School in Fort Worth for 15 years, where she tutored football players for free. She said that the secret to living a long life - aside from Dr Pepper - is to 'just keep living'. 'Man I'm feeling good. I'm glad I'm still here. I'm glad I'm not in a rest home. Glad I can still read books and watch TV and have people come by and say hello,' she said. Sullivan said she is thankful that she's still active at her age and not in a care home. She said she likes that people can stop by her house just to say hello .

(CNN)Newly released al Qaeda documents, including letters to and from Osama bin Laden in the year or so before his May 2011 death, show an organization that understood it had severe problems resulting from the CIA drone program that was killing many of the group's leaders in Pakistan's tribal regions bordering Afghanistan. As a result of this pressure, al Qaeda officials were seriously considering relocating elements of the organization to other countries such as Afghanistan or Iran. They also entered into ceasefire discussions through intermediaries with elements of Pakistan's intelligence service, ISI, although the documents suggest that nothing came of these discussions and there is no evidence in the documents indicating that the Pakistani government had any clue about bin Laden's location or presence in Pakistan. CIA efforts to spy on the group and kill its leaders were so effective that in June 2010 an al Qaeda official urged bin Laden, "You should have fewer exchanges of correspondence with us during this period. Make the period between contacts longer and further apart. Take excessive caution and care, especially this year." This was wise counsel. Within a few weeks of this letter being written, the CIA would track bin Laden's trusted courier to his longtime hideout in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and on May 1, 2011, a U.S. Navy SEAL operation ordered by President Barack Obama killed al Qaeda's leader. The new al Qaeda documents are part of a trove of many thousands that the SEALs recovered at bin Laden's compound. Several were released during the Brooklyn trial last month of al Qaeda operative Abid Naseer. Seventeen of these documents had also been released around the first anniversary of bin Laden's death. It's long past time for the government to release more of these thousands of captured documents -- with any necessary redactions for national security purposes -- as they help us to understand better what precipitated the decline and fall of the terrorist group that once dominated the attention of the world, just as ISIS does today. The documents show how al Qaeda's 9/11 operation unleashed so much force against it, including the CIA drone program, that it had to hide in the shadows and couldn't pull off any successful operation in the West for many years before the death of bin Laden. The documents demonstrate that almost a decade after 9/11 al Qaeda was struggling to get any kind of operation going against Western targets. In a report on "external operations," an al Qaeda official explained that a plot to attack the U.S. Embassy in Russia had fizzled and that despite sending al Qaeda members to the UK to hit "several targets" these operations had also come to nothing. Al Qaeda had also sent "three brothers" on a terrorist mission to Denmark, a country that bin Laden loathed because of the publication by a Danish newspaper of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, but had "lost contact with them." Given all the problems the group was having, an al Qaeda strategist suggested refocusing efforts on carrying out terrorist attacks using the "simplest things such as 
household knives, gas tanks, fuel, diesel and others like airplanes, trains and cars as 
killing tools." 2011: U.S. offers details about bin Laden raid . A major theme of the documents is how much punishment the CIA drone program was inflicting on al Qaeda. Al Qaeda officials considered moving to Nuristan, a remote mountainous region of eastern Afghanistan, or to other parts of Pakistan such as Sindh or Balochistan and even to Iran, which had been a key sanctuary for a number of al Qaeda's leaders after the fall of the Taliban in late 2001. Al Qaeda mulled opening an office in Iran, but "we backed off this idea due to financial costs and other considerations." In a letter to bin Laden, an al Qaeda official provided a vivid description of the death by drone of Mustafa Yazid, then the No. 3 leader of the group, on the night of May 22, 2010. The al Qaeda official wrote that Yazid was staying at the house of a "well-known" supporter of al Qaeda when a drone started making "distinctive loops that we all know and all the brothers have experienced. They all know that if a plane starts doing these turns, it is going to strike." Yazid and his wife and three daughters and granddaughter were all killed in the drone strike, according to the official. The official lamented that drones are "still circling our skies every day" and the only relief from them came when weather conditions worsened and there was cloud cover. The official wrote but "then they come back when the sky is clear." Al Qaeda had tried to use jamming technology and to hack into the drones "but no result so far," according to the al Qaeda official. Underlining al Qaeda's weakness, during the summer of 2010 the group was contemplating some kind of ceasefire with the Pakistani government and had entered into negotiations with it via intermediaries to explain that al Qaeda's battle was "primarily against the Americans. You became part of the battle when you sided with the Americans. If you were to leave us and our affairs alone, we would leave you alone." Highlights of bin Laden documents released in 2012 . The documents show that such a ceasefire was purely tactical rather than the beginning of some kind of rapprochement between al Qaeda and the Pakistanis. At one point an al Qaeda official referred to "bin Laden's call to jihad against the apostate government of Pakistan." Apostasy is a grave crime in Islam and punishable by death in the eyes of members of al Qaeda. According to the documents, Pakistani intelligence officials "reached out to" al Qaeda through longtime jihadist sympathizers who had formerly held positions in the Pakistani intelligence agency, ISI, as well as the leaders of militant groups such as the Haqqani Taliban faction that have contacts with the ISI. The documents suggest that nothing came of these discussions, and there is no evidence in them that the Pakistanis had any idea that bin Laden was in Pakistan or indeed was even alive. Bergen in 2013: Bin Laden's life on the run . Moreover during the course of reporting the book "Manhunt," about the CIA's long search for bin Laden, I spoke to several senior U.S. officials who said that the U.S. intelligence community was covertly monitoring the communications of Pakistani army chief Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and ISI director Ahmed Shuja Pasha the night of the bin Laden raid and they were both surprised about him being in Abbottabad. The documents did show one area of real success for al Qaeda, which was kidnapping for ransom, a tactic ISIS has been using so effectively. In 2008, al Qaeda had captured Afghanistan's former ambassador to Pakistan, Abdul Khaliq Farahi. After two years of negotiations he was exchanged for $5 million. An al Qaeda official told bin Laden that some of this money would be a "gift" to him "from all the brothers." Bin Laden cautioned al Qaeda's leaders to be careful with the ransom money, as it might have to last the terrorist group several years. The documents show that al Qaeda's leaders were in contact with Tayeb Agha, a close aide to Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. Agha has met with U.S. officials on a number of occasions to discuss peace negotiations. 2011: How U.S. forces killed Osama bin Laden . Far from the image of the isolated man in the cave that was prevalent before he was killed, the documents portray bin Laden as a hands-on manager of al Qaeda. In a 10-page letter that bin Laden wrote in August 2010, he had reams of advice for the al Qaeda-aligned group Al-Shabaab in Somalia, ordering that the group not attack Sufi Muslims in Somalia and also suggesting a plan to assassinate the President of neighboring Uganda who had sent his troops to fight Al-Shabaab. Bin Laden gave detailed notes about how Al-Shabaab could raise its agricultural output by using small dams for irrigation, and he suggested planting palm olive trees imported from Indonesia. He also advised Al-Shabaab against cutting down too many trees because it is "dangerous for the environment of the region." Bin Laden had lived in nearby Sudan in the mid-'90s, establishing a number of business and farming enterprises. Bin Laden, something of a micromanager, told his top lieutenant to "send us the resumes of all the brothers who may be nominated now or in the future for important management positions." He also cautioned against sending any emails, including even encrypted ones, urging that hand-delivered letters were the only safe method of communication. Bergen on 2012 documents: Seized documents show delusional leader and micromanager . Bin Laden also ordered that some of the tens of thousands of documents leaked by U.S. Army Pvt. Bradley Manning to WikiLeaks in 2010 be translated so that al Qaeda could better understand "the enemy's policies in the region." And he suggested that his lieutenants reach out to Ahmed Zaidan, an Al Jazeera reporter based in Pakistan who had interviewed bin Laden in the past, so that he could have plenty of time to prepare a report to mark the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Bin Laden said he didn't want Zaidan to interview any members of his family, but he told his team to get in touch with the reporter "promptly" to get a sense of the questions he wanted bin Laden to answer. Bin Laden was killed four months before the 10th anniversary of 9/11. As the new al Qaeda documents make clear he died knowing that his dream of another terrorism spectacular in the West was just that: a dream. And the organization that he had founded was in deep trouble because of the CIA drone program. Note: An earlier version of this article incorrectly said bin Laden had lived in Somalia.

For Dave King, the battle for control of Rangers is all but over. The resignation of Ibrox chairman David Somers on Monday morning brought confirmation that the end of days has arrived for this reviled current plc board. Yet, the hard work starts here as King and his backers try to revive an institution that has been more akin to a circus than a football club in the chaotic last three years since administration, then liquidation, visited Govan. Here, Sportsmail looks at the tasks that will be taking priority in King’s packed in-tray as he embarks on a rebuilding job that he and his team believe could take up to five years. Dave King is set to take control of Rangers after chairman Dave Somers resigned from post on Monday . 1. Appoint a new executive team . With the repayment of Mike Ashley’s £5million loan, and running costs of upwards of £25m over the next two years, Rangers need a top-class executive team in place as quickly as possible to map out the club’s financial future. After Friday’s extraordinary general meeting, King will install his allies Paul Murray and John Gilligan as directors. The two remaining current plc directors, Derek Llambias, Rangers’ chief executive, and Barry Leach, director of finance, are not expected to tender their resignations. But King’s first move is expected to be to sack and replace them — whatever the cost. Not surprisingly to those following this rapacious Rangers saga, Llambias and Leach have both just been awarded bumper contracts, complete with lengthy notice periods. 2. Appoint a manager . Kenny McDowall tendered his resignation in January and the uncomfortable-looking 51-year-old keeps making it plain he does not want to be the manager of Rangers a minute longer than he absolutely has to. Under his management, performances have been poor with Rangers winning just two of their last six games. But it would take a collapse of monumental proportions for the Ibrox side to be overtaken by Falkirk and Queen of the South for a place in the play-offs. Stuart McCall is being viewed as the favourite for the post, while fans would love to see King bring back Walter Smith, even in a short-term capacity. But whoever the new manager is, the speedier the appointment, the more time he would have to set his players up for a push at promotion. What is unarguable is this: the new man needs to coax better performances than managed by Ally McCoist and McDowall if Rangers are to overcome a Hibs side that has swatted them aside with ease in the Championship this season. Interim Rangers manager Kenny McDowall does not want the job a minute longer than he has to . 3. Player recruitment . There are 12 Rangers first-team players out of contract in the summer. Captain Lee McCulloch, plus Kris Boyd, Kenny Miller, Jon Daly, Bilel Mohsni, Darren McGregor, Richard Foster, Steven Smith, Sebastien Faure, Ian Black, Kyle Hutton and Steve Simonsen all see their deals run out on June 1, 2015. The sheer volume of out-of-contract players makes it easy for the new boss to carry out a mass cull of what was described by Ibrox legend Richard Gough as ‘probably the worst ever’ team in Rangers history. Yet from such a late starting point, the clock is ticking for the new regime to make wholesale changes. And with out-of-contract players free to speak to suitors since January 1, Rangers are already behind the eight ball in recruiting Bosman signings. 4. Mike Ashley and onerous contracts . Mike Ashley's crisis loans kept the Ibrox club afloat in recent times in exchange for security over pretty much everything bar Ibrox, not to mention an increasingly large share of retail revenues. The contracts with Ashley’s Sports Direct are currently the biggest drain on income at Ibrox. Analysis by the Union of Fans suggests that for every £10 spent on merchandise, Rangers receive an eye-wateringly poor 75p. The suggestions are that these onerous deals are watertight but King’s team need to find out if there is room for manoeuvre. They will also need to go through everything they find with a fine-tooth comb to ensure Ashley is not leaving behind any nasty surprises. Mike Ashley's crisis loans kept Rangers afloat but in exchange for a large share of retail revenues . 5. SFA fit and proper tests . Having won the war to take control at Ibrox, King now needs to convince the SFA he is a fit and proper person to become a director of Rangers. A member of the club board under Craig Whyte that eventually saw Rangers liquidated in 2012, tax offences in South Africa saw King fork out £44m in settlement in 2013. That raises issues because the SFA’s professional game board look at whether a proposed director has been convicted within the last 10 years of ‘(i) an offence liable to imprisonment of two years or over, (ii) corruption or (iii) fraud’. The Hampden board also considers whether the applicant has been a director at a club within the five years preceding an insolvency event. King’s prolonged struggle with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) has been raised repeatedly by the current plc board. But SARS has imposed no restriction on King acting as a company director and he remains ‘confident’ of passing the SFA’s fit-and-proper-person tests. Paul Murray, who was sacked from the Ibrox board by Whyte, must also convince the SFA he is a fit and proper person to be a director. 6. Infrastructure . Rangers fans regularly complain about the decrepit state of Ibrox. Cash is needed to bring it back up to acceptable standard, especially with fans likely to return through the gates in numbers to support the popular new regime. The club’s Murray Park training base at Auchenhowie, which opened 14 years ago, is also badly in need of renovation. Furthermore, Rangers will have to fork out to appoint a team of talent spotters given that the club’s scouting network was scrapped when Neil Murray left in April 2013. Former boss McCoist previously described the need for a scouting system at Rangers as: ‘My No 1 priority for the club moving ahead.’ Money needs to be spent on bringing Ibrox back up to an acceptable standard .
David Somers resigned as Rangers chairman on Monday morning . Dave King is set to take control of the Ibrox club in the next 48 hours . Here, Sportsmail looks at the most pressing tasks in the Rangers in-tray .

What is unarguable is this: the new man needs to coax better performances than managed by Ally McCoist and McDowall if Rangers are to overcome a Hibs side that has swatted them aside with ease in the Championship this season. Interim Rangers manager Kenny McDowall does not want the job a minute longer than he has to . 3. Player recruitment . There are 12 Rangers first-team players out of contract in the summer. Captain Lee McCulloch, plus Kris Boyd, Kenny Miller, Jon Daly, Bilel Mohsni, Darren McGregor, Richard Foster, Steven Smith, Sebastien Faure, Ian Black, Kyle Hutton and Steve Simonsen all see their deals run out on June 1, 2015. The sheer volume of out-of-contract players makes it easy for the new boss to carry out a mass cull of what was described by Ibrox legend Richard Gough as ‘probably the worst ever’ team in Rangers history. Yet from such a late starting point, the clock is ticking for the new regime to make wholesale changes. And with out-of-contract players free to speak to suitors since January 1, Rangers are already behind the eight ball in recruiting Bosman signings. 4. Mike Ashley and onerous contracts . Mike Ashley's crisis loans kept the Ibrox club afloat in recent times in exchange for security over pretty much everything bar Ibrox, not to mention an increasingly large share of retail revenues. The contracts with Ashley’s Sports Direct are currently the biggest drain on income at Ibrox. Analysis by the Union of Fans suggests that for every £10 spent on merchandise, Rangers receive an eye-wateringly poor 75p. The suggestions are that these onerous deals are watertight but King’s team need to find out if there is room for manoeuvre. They will also need to go through everything they find with a fine-tooth comb to ensure Ashley is not leaving behind any nasty surprises. Mike Ashley's crisis loans kept Rangers afloat but in exchange for a large share of retail revenues . 5. SFA fit and proper tests . Having won the war to take control at Ibrox, King now needs to convince the SFA he is a fit and proper person to become a director of Rangers. A member of the club board under Craig Whyte that eventually saw Rangers liquidated in 2012, tax offences in South Africa saw King fork out £44m in settlement in 2013. That raises issues because the SFA’s professional game board look at whether a proposed director has been convicted within the last 10 years of ‘(i) an offence liable to imprisonment of two years or over, (ii) corruption or (iii) fraud’. The Hampden board also considers whether the applicant has been a director at a club within the five years preceding an insolvency event. King’s prolonged struggle with the South African Revenue Service (SARS) has been raised repeatedly by the current plc board. But SARS has imposed no restriction on King acting as a company director and he remains ‘confident’ of passing the SFA’s fit-and-proper-person tests. Paul Murray, who was sacked from the Ibrox board by Whyte, must also convince the SFA he is a fit and proper person to be a director. 6. Infrastructure . Rangers fans regularly complain about the decrepit state of Ibrox. Cash is needed to bring it back up to acceptable standard, especially with fans likely to return through the gates in numbers to support the popular new regime. The club’s Murray Park training base at Auchenhowie, which opened 14 years ago, is also badly in need of renovation. Furthermore, Rangers will have to fork out to appoint a team of talent spotters given that the club’s scouting network was scrapped when Neil Murray left in April 2013. Former boss McCoist previously described the need for a scouting system at Rangers as: ‘My No 1 priority for the club moving ahead.’ Money needs to be spent on bringing Ibrox back up to an acceptable standard .

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association following his touchline tantrum and spat with Steve Bruce during Tuesday’s 1-1 draw at Hull. The Black Cats boss was sent off by referee Mike Dean for kicking over a cooler box in protest at Jack Rodwell’s booking for diving before he clashed with his opposite number.

London (CNN)Tunisia's ultra-radical fringe has come back to bite a government born out of the most successful experiment in constitutional reform to emerge from the 2011 Arab Spring revolutions. Wednesday's attack on the Bardo Museum in Tunis was grimly predictable, coming from what the Tunisian Interior Ministry calls a violent ultra-radical Islamist fringe forced underground -- but not crushed -- by security services. Jihadist firebrands representing thousands of active militants at home and abroad have been threatening retribution on Tunisia's outward-looking, investment-friendly majority. The attack was carried out by two gunmen, believed to have been supported by at least two accomplices. It may torpedo efforts to revive Tunisia's employment-generating tourism industry and may discourage other big-spending visitors. It will probably lead Tunisians -- who have shown a sage propensity to unite in the face of greatest adversity despite a marked appetite for political bickering -- to support a robust response by elected President Beji Caid Essebsi. The attack adds to the global narrative by which Islamic revolutionaries -- increasingly flying under the flag of the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) -- pose an existential crisis to moderate states, often Western allies, in the Arab world. Tunisia is the sole country to have emerged from an Arab Spring revolution with its political process intact -- current president, Essebsi, who was elected in November 2014, and his ruling coalition, are the products of a long constitutional process. In four tumultuous years they have competed hard with, but also showed a capacity to work with, opposition parties, led by the "moderate Islamist" Ennahda, which is represented in government and parliament. Islamists of a very different hue were responsible for the Bardo attack. Local Salafist groups (of whom the best known is Ansar Al-Sharia) as well as multinational units including ISIS have been most effective in recruiting disaffected young Tunisians in the capital's poorer quarters and in dusty towns of the south and interior, where the original revolution that removed Ben Ali in February 2011 surged up. Legitimate claims for more jobs and resources in these underprivileged areas during the four subsequent years have largely come to nothing, adding to frustrations. Radical jihadists -- some with back bases in Libya and Algeria -- have posed a major security challenge to successive governments, murdering two prominent "secular" politicians in 2013. The Tunisian armed forces, supported by Algeria's more experienced and better equipped military, have been fighting jihadist radicals in the Mount Chaambi region for nearly three years. They have yet to declare final victory, pointing to the resilience of underground groups. While successive governments have acted against radical Salafist groups, thousands of Tunisians have gone underground; they are widely believed to make up the biggest national group fighting with jihadists in Syria (over 3,000 by many accounts), and are present in Libya and other failing states. In January 2013, Tunisians and Libyans made up the majority of jihadists who attacked a strategic gas plant operated by BP and Statoil in southern Algeria. So, the Bardo attackers are a known enemy. Prime Minister Habib Essid has promised a robust security response. But the Tunis tragedy is unlikely to have any immediate impact on the political process. A majority of Tunisians remain foursquare behind preserving "republican institutions," even if they vocally disagree on the detail of policy. It will remind Tunisia's many friends that the country's transition is brittle, and that Tunis needs commitments of support to become reality, with more military and wider financial assistance, and, above all, investment that can kickstart an economy in the doldrums since 2011. Massacre at the Bardo places Tunisia more centrally within the global ISIS narrative, which has recently expanded to neighboring Libya. It is a ghastly way to remind the world that Tunisia's experiment in democratic reform needs all the help it can get.

A couple who kept dozens of animals in such squalid conditions that two of them had to be put down have been jailed for a total of six months. June Harding, 46, and husband Paul, 45, of Montacute, Somerset, kept their 31 dogs, seven cats and four guinea pigs to sleep in such filthy surroundings that RSPCA officers were overwhelmed by the stench of ammonia and had to call off the visit. Their water supplies were so dirty they had turned black and many of the animals suffered infected eyes, rotting teeth and ulcers as they lay in their own feces. Scroll down for video . June Harding, 46, and husband Paul, 45, of Montacute, Somerset, left their 31 dogs, seven cats and four guinea pigs to sleep in such filthy surroundings that RSPCA officers were overwhelmed by the stench of ammonia and had to call off the visit . Police who visited their home had to abandon the search because of the overbearing stench of ammonia and RSPCA inspectors described the conditions as 'appalling'. They managed to save 40 of the animals but every single animal rescued had respiratory problems due to the lack of ventilation and vets recommended two were put down. The pair were each sentenced to 12 weeks in prison at Taunton Magistrates Court in Somerset after pleading guilty to a total of 28 charges of animal neglect. Sentencing, Chair of the Bench Clive Powell said it was the worst case he had seen in 30 years. 'My stomach churned when I saw the pictures provided by the RSPCA,' he said. 'It is the court judgment that the totality of the offending and culpability mean that nothing sort an immediate custodial sentence is appropriate. Their water supplies were so dirty they had turned black and many of the animals suffered infected eyes, rotting teeth and ulcers as they lay in their own faeces . 'Between us we have 60 years experience, 30 years myself. 'I don't recall in that near?y 30 years any office as serious as this involving so many animals in such a poor state.' The court heard how police officers first visited the couple's home in Montacute, Somerset, on May 6 last year. Matthew Knight, prosecuting for the RSPCA, said: 'Mr Handing was reluctant to let police into the property. 'The officers noted the poor quality of the house and abandoned their search on health and safety grounds.' Police returned with the RSPCA on June 30 and found similar conditions. 'In general the interior was filthy,' said Mr Knight. 'There was an overpowering smell of ammonia that is a product of wee. 'A number of officers had to leave the property due to the smell. The hallway of this property was was covered in dirt, hair and faeces. 'The living room - little natural light with puddles of urine on the floor. 'There was a very small window ajar. This seemed to be the only form of ventilation. The pair were each sentenced to 12 weeks in prison at Taunton Magistrates Court in Somerset after pleading guilty to a total of 28 charges of animal neglect . 'There was a room at the back called the cat room. 'Six cats were found. They seemed frightened and lived inside old chairs. 'The windowsill was covered in faeces.' However, during interview Mrs Harding said she believed the animals were 'fit and well'. Clive Rees, mitigating, said that Mrs Harding genuinely thought she was looking after the animals while Mr Harding had tried to distance himself from the situation. He said: 'The pair did not inflict anything on the animals that they did not inflict on themselves. 'Clearly they were having to live in the premises and were blind to the fact it was in such a mess. 'Their intention was to look after the animals but the care of the animals was not adequate.' Mr Harding was found guilty of all 16 offences on February 11 - 13 of causing unnecessary suffering to animals and three of failing to meet needs of the animals. Mrs Harding pleaded guilty to 12 charges on December 16 - nine of causing unnecessary suffering and three of failing to meet the needs of the animals. The couple were also banned from keeping animals for life and also banned from contesting the order for 10 years. Many of the animals have since been rehomed thanks to the RSPCA. An appeal against the sentence has already been lodged but bail was denied while it is processed.

The hallway of this property was was covered in dirt, hair and faeces. 'The living room - little natural light with puddles of urine on the floor. 'There was a very small window ajar. This seemed to be the only form of ventilation. The pair were each sentenced to 12 weeks in prison at Taunton Magistrates Court in Somerset after pleading guilty to a total of 28 charges of animal neglect . 'There was a room at the back called the cat room. 'Six cats were found. They seemed frightened and lived inside old chairs. 'The windowsill was covered in faeces.' However, during interview Mrs Harding said she believed the animals were 'fit and well'. Clive Rees, mitigating, said that Mrs Harding genuinely thought she was looking after the animals while Mr Harding had tried to distance himself from the situation. He said: 'The pair did not inflict anything on the animals that they did not inflict on themselves. 'Clearly they were having to live in the premises and were blind to the fact it was in such a mess. 'Their intention was to look after the animals but the care of the animals was not adequate.' Mr Harding was found guilty of all 16 offences on February 11 - 13 of causing unnecessary suffering to animals and three of failing to meet needs of the animals. Mrs Harding pleaded guilty to 12 charges on December 16 - nine of causing unnecessary suffering and three of failing to meet the needs of the animals. The couple were also banned from keeping animals for life and also banned from contesting the order for 10 years. Many of the animals have since been rehomed thanks to the RSPCA. An appeal against the sentence has already been lodged but bail was denied while it is processed. [/INST] June Harding, 46, and husband Paul, 45, of Montacute, Somerset, kept their 31 dogs, seven cats and four guinea pigs to sleep in filthy surroundings . Animals suffered infected eyes, teeth and ulcers as they lay in own faeces . The pair were each jailed to 12 weeks at Taunton Magistrates Court . </s>
Rare photos have emerged of the primitive and isolated compound Osama Bin Laden lived in until a Western bombing campaign forced him to flee. The images resurfaced last month during the terrorism conspiracy trial in New York of Al Qaeda lieutenant Khaled al-Fawwaz, a communications conduit for the terrorist organisation in London in the mid-1990s. They were taken by Palestinian journalist Abdel Barri Atwan, who was invited to the hideout in 1996 as part of Bin Laden's ploy to spread his message of hate to the Western world. The 9/11 mastermind had declared war on America and planned a media campaign to garner international attention. Scroll down for video . Image: Osama Bin Laden holds a Kalashnikov rifle in Tora Bora, a mountainous region of Afghanistan, in November 1996. The Al Qaeda leader spent years developing a network of tunnels and caves in the area . On message: The terrorist mastermind had, by this point, declared war on the United States and tried to use international press coverage to spread the word . Perception: The militant would sit in front of Islamic books when recording his video messages to make it seem like he was intellectual . Entourage: A smiling Bin Laden is seen walking around Tora Bora surrounded by bodyguards, loyal followers and family members . Lair: The rare images of Bin Laden in his home setting were released as part of the trial of Al Qaeda lieutenant Khaled al-Fawwaz, a communications conduit for Al Qaeda in London in the mid-1990s . Companion: He sits alongside Syrian-born ideologue Abu Musab al-Suri, a Bin Laden ally who once ran training camps inside Afghanistan . It included his first television interview for CNN's Peter Arnett and Peter Bergen in 1997 and a sit-down for ABC News' John Miller a year later. 'He wanted media exposure,' Atwan told CNN's Bergen for his 2006 book, The Osama Bin Laden I Know. 'He wants to say, "Now I am an international figure; I'm not just a Saudi. I am aggrieved at Americans who are occupying Saudi Arabia who are desecrating the Holy Land"', said Atwan. He was seen making video announcements in front of shelves of Islamic books - in a bid to make him look intelligent - and was captured with a wide grin as he strolled around the isolated compound. For several years, he developed an intricate network of caves and dwellings 14,000ft up in the White Mountains. He discovered the area during the anti-Soviet war in the 1980s, and decided to settle and set up the compound in 1996 - when the Taliban had taken control of Afghanistan. Bin Laden chose the location because of its proximity to the border with Pakistan, while the rugged terrain meant it would be difficult for opposition forces to attack on foot. The system of caves and underground passages meant he would also be protected from air attacks. He told Atwan during the interview: 'I feel really secure in the mountains.' According to reports Bin Laden would spend hours on long hikes through the mountains, always carrying a Russian-made Kalashnikov rifle by his side. Bodyguards, militants and children - including his sons - would constantly follow him around as he looked for new hideout locations. He told his family members they needed to know the terrain and the tunnel system inside out in case of an attack.

Keeping guard: A boy stands outside one of the primitive houses holding a Kalashnikov. Most people living in the compound would always walk around with a rifle . Gallop: The militant is seen riding on a horse below his compound. He escaped Tora Bora on horseback when Western forces were getting closer to his hideout in 2001 . The compound, nestled in the snow-covered mountains, was primitive and only connected to the nearest city of Jalalabad by dirt road. During the visit Atwan took a picture of a two-bedroom house made of mud and stone Bin Laden is believed to have shared with his wives and family. His children were believed to have suffered from constant hunger, with a limited diet of eggs, rice and salty cheese. The terrorist leader remained in the area until 2001. Western forces had tracked him down to the region and consistently targeted it with air strikes. During an assault in December, just months after the devastating September 11, attacks he evaded capture by escaping on horseback and slipping into neighboring Pakistan or northern Afghanistan. He was helped by local warlord, Maulvi Yunus Khalis, who had fought with Bin Laden against the Red Army during the 1980s, according to officials including Michael Scheuer, former CIA pointman in the hunt for the al-Qaida chief. In that month, Tora Bora endured one of the most punitive bombing campaigns in history. In just three days, from December 4 to 7, bombers dropped some 700,000lb of explosives on Bin Laden's positions - the equivalent of two nights' worth of RAF raids over Berlin during World War II. Experts have asserted that Bin Laden was able to escape because of a lack of American willingness to commit more troops to the operation — at a time when the head of Al Qaeda was well within grasp. After Bin Laden relocated, the hunt expanded in the Kunar border zone. In 2003, US soldiers attacked the hideouts of Bin Laden's military chief Kashmir Khan, slightly wounding him. In 2005, a US special forces Chinook helicopter was shot down in Kunar, killing all 16 personnel on board. The 10-year search for him ended on May 2 2011 when he was killed during a Navy Seal operation in Abbottobad. Smile: Bin Laden grins during one of his lengthy walks in the isolated area .

Arsene Wenger is still haunted by the game which was the catalyst for Manchester United’s greatest ever achievement. It was in 1999, another FA Cup tie, a semi-final. It was at Villa Park, with 90 minutes of a replay having failed to separate the two teams that then dominated English football in that era. United were down to 10 men and Dennis Bergkamp had missed a penalty for Arsenal in the final minute of normal time with the game locked at 1-1. Arsene Wenger looks on dejectedly after losing the FA Cup semi-final replay to Manchester United in 1999 . Dennis Bergkamp (right) missed a penalty in that game in United's treble winning season . Ryan Giggs (right) struck United's winner with a sensational solo effort to send them through to the final . Then on 109 minutes, Patrick Vieira misplaced a pass, Ryan Giggs picked up the ball in his own half and set off on a run which would end up in him revealing an alarming amount of chest hair after scoring one of the great goals in the history of the tournament. In Wenger’s mind, it tipped the balance in the title race and provided the foundation for United to achieve an unprecedented treble of FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League. ‘I can still hear the shouts of that team, having won,’ said Wenger. ‘They couldn’t believe it because they were down to 10 men. And I think that put them in a state of euphoria. In the same way, they won the title — just. ‘I saw that goal again when Giggs retired. I think that goal won them the treble because, if Bergkamp scores, I think the game is over. It was a trauma for us and a positive for them. That goal was certainly what decided their season.’ Wenger still remembers the details of the title run in, saying: ‘They played at Blackburn and we lost at Leeds in the last minute, when Nigel Winterburn was kicked off [the pitch]. Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink scored at the far post and Kaba Diawara hit the bar twice. After that, they won the Champions League final in the last minutes — 1999 was a miracle year for them.’ Bergkamp recalls missing the penalty in his book and admitted it bothered him for a while after the game . Giggs (second left) will now take on Wenger from the dugout as an assistant to Louis van Gaal . Wenger will be hoping to avenge the defeat by beating United in Monday's FA Cup quarter-final . Bergkamp in his book, Stillness And Speed, said: ‘I still took the odd [penalty] without problems, without hesitation and without missing. But that miss did bother me for quite a while and next season Thierry Henry became our penalty taker.’ Ray Parlour, who was interviewed for the same book, said: ‘In those days it was only us and United. Dennis, if he scores that penalty, we win the double because...their heads would have gone down in the league.’ As for Monday, Wenger said: ‘Let’s not consider Man United. Let’s focus on our performance. They play at home where they feel confident. So, to compensate that we have to put more effort in and produce a really top-level performance.’

(CNN)When one man sat down next to a second man in a St. Louis light rail car and asked him his opinion on the shooting of Michael Brown, it was not the beginning of a discussion. It was the start of an assault, police said. The second man, who was white, didn't want to answer the question. Then the first man, who was black, boxed him in the face. Two more African-American men joined in the beating, according to a police report about Monday's incident. It was caught on surveillance cameras on the MetroLink train and a passenger recorded it with a cell phone and posted the video online. It has gone viral. Police confirmed to CNN that the online images came from the attack. The victim, 43, was commuting home when a young man in a red T-shirt and cap walked up to him. The victim asked not to be named in media reports. The man asked to use the victim's cell phone. He declined, and the young man sat down beside him. "Then he asked me my opinion on the Michael Brown thing," the victim told KMOV, "and I responded I was too tired to think about it right now." The suspect, in his 20s, stood up. "The next thing I know, he sucker punches me right in the middle of my face," the victim said. The video showed the suspect unleashing a barrage of punches at the head of the victim, who covered himself with his hand and forearms. The two other men, also in their 20s, joined in, police said. As the train pulled into a station, a security guard saw part of the beating and alerted police. The man in the red T-shirt could be seen on video kicking at the victim's face before the train's doors opened and the assailants ran out. The train's surveillance cameras captured clear images of their faces, which MetroLink passed on to journalists. Police are looking for the three men. They face possible charges of third-degree assault, police said. It is a misdemeanor under Missouri law. The victim was left with bruises on his face and forehead, police said. The first punch dug the frame of his eyeglasses into the skin of his nose, the victim said. He declined to receive medical treatment. But then there was the emotional pain. On the video, people could be heard laughing while the man was beaten. "I think it was disgusting that people were sort of laughing and smiling about it," the victim said. "And no one offered to help. No one seemed to call 911." Condemnation of the beating has spread across social media, including from people who protested the shooting of Brown last year by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. The officer was not indicted in Brown's death. St. Louis alderman Antonio French, a vocal community leader in the aftermath of Ferguson, tweeted his disappointment in the beating. "Mike Brown question sparks MetroLink beating caught on video," he wrote. "This is disgusting. We have a major problem, STL." CNN's John Newsome contributed to this report.

Millions of women are not taking enough exercise because they are afraid of being ‘judged’, MPs warn. They worry they will be ridiculed for being sweaty, out of breath or struggling at the back when jogging or at the gym. Some women have taken to running in secret on treadmills installed in sheds in their back garden because they are too ashamed to do it in public. Scroll down for video . Millions of women across the UK are not taking enough exercise because they are afraid of being ‘judged’, a new report by MPs on the Commons’ Health Select Committee has found (file picture, posed by model) A report by MPs on the Commons’ Health Select Committee also highlights how girls as young as ten shun PE classes because they worry about their body image. Figures show that just over two thirds of women, 68 per cent, do not take the recommended level of exercise of two and a half hours over the course of a week. This is much higher than the 56 per cent of men who do not do this weekly amount. Experts have warned that a lack of exercise is as harmful as tobacco and contributes to up to one in six deaths in the UK. Tory MP Dr Sarah Wollaston, chairman of the committee, said: ‘It is unacceptable that this gender gap has been ignored for so long. We need to be out there ensuring that girls can access the type of sport they want to take part in.’ Labour MP Barbara Keeley said girls aged ten, 11 and 12 were dropping out of games lessons because they were worried about showing ‘puppy fat’. One woman interviewed by the committee was told by her male GP she was too fat to do the London Marathon even though she had run 18 miles the week previously. Julie Creffield, a campaigner who encourages women to exercise, said she was determined to ‘prove him wrong’ and finished the event in 2013. Mrs Creffield, 36, a mother who works as a motivational speaker, said many women were afraid to join running clubs or attend gym classes because they didn’t want to be the one ‘struggling at the back.’ This is particularly true if they are overweight or have gained a few pounds after having children. She told the MPs: ‘I have women who tell me they run on a treadmill in their shed because they just don’t want to be seen in public, and that’s part of the problem. Because we don’t see many overweight women exercising in public, other women don’t think exercise is for them.’ The committee – which is also investigating obesity – spoke to an expert who accused hospitals that sell fast-food on their premises as being guilty of ‘negligence.’ Professor Theresa Marteau, of the Department of Public Health at Cambridge University, criticised Guy’s in London, where there is a McDonald’s and Addenbrooke’s in Cambridge, which houses a Burger King. She said: ‘It is at best anomalous and at worst negligent that NHS properties continue to serve foods high in sugar, salt and fat.’ Separately, the health watchdog NICE today publishes new guidelines urging GPs to tell adults to start walking when they undergo their NHS health checks, between the ages of 40 and 74.

<s>[INST] Millions of women are not taking enough exercise because they are afraid of being ‘judged’, MPs warn. They worry they will be ridiculed for being sweaty, out of breath or struggling at the back when jogging or at the gym. Some women have taken to running in secret on treadmills installed in sheds in their back garden because they are too ashamed to do it in public. Scroll down for video . Millions of women across the UK are not taking enough exercise because they are afraid of being ‘judged’, a new report by MPs on the Commons’ Health Select Committee has found (file picture, posed by model) A report by MPs on the Commons’ Health Select Committee also highlights how girls as young as ten shun PE classes because they worry about their body image. Figures show that just over two thirds of women, 68 per cent, do not take the recommended level of exercise of two and a half hours over the course of a week. This is much higher than the 56 per cent of men who do not do this weekly amount. Experts have warned that a lack of exercise is as harmful as tobacco and contributes to up to one in six deaths in the UK. Tory MP Dr Sarah Wollaston, chairman of the committee, said: ‘It is unacceptable that this gender gap has been ignored for so long. We need to be out there ensuring that girls can access the type of sport they want to take part in.’ Labour MP Barbara Keeley said girls aged ten, 11 and 12 were dropping out of games lessons because they were worried about showing ‘puppy fat’. One woman interviewed by the committee was told by her male GP she was too fat to do the London Marathon even though she had run 18 miles the week previously.

Martin O’Neill says his opinion cannot be swayed by Premier League managers who do not rate his players. The Republic of Ireland boss was making specific reference to winger Aiden McGeady, who has not played a single minute for Everton under Roberto Martinez since the end of January. The 28-year-old is set to figure for the Irish in their crunch Euro qualifier with Group D leaders Poland in Dublin on Sunday night. Everton winger Aiden McGeady is tackled by Ireland team-mate John O'Shea during training this week . McGeady, who has not played for the Toffees since January, jokes with Ireland assistant Roy Keane . But O’Neill, whose fourth-placed side trail their opponents by three points, said: ‘If I was to make a judgement on every single player at club level I might be listening to the wrong comments. ‘Roberto Martinez is absolutely entitled to pick whoever he wants. If he doesn’ t think Aiden is playing well enough to merit a place in his team, that’s entirely up to him. ‘We’ve a different aspect here. We sometimes maybe don’t have that particular choice in hand for players in that position. ‘But Aiden is very important to us and a change of environment might just give him a lift.’ McGeady has scored more goals for his country this season – two – than he has for the Toffees – one. Ireland boss Martin O'Neill says he will not be swayed by Premier League managers' opinions of his players . Former Sunderland and Aston Villa manager says McGeady is a key member of his team .

O’Neill added: ‘It’s a disappointment from this side that Aiden’s not playing. It would be great, absolutely fantastic, if players were coming in here on the back of having played the last couple of weekends, but you always sense it’s never going to be that way. ‘What you wouldn’t want is to be going into a game with maybe three or four not having played that much football. ‘But I think adrenaline can carry you a certain distance. Listen, this is a big game, a really big game. It’s taken a long while for it to come around and it’s nearly upon us now so they should feed off all of this and be really positive.’ McGeady was sent off in Everton's FA Cup third round replay against West Ham in January .

Convicted terrorists will soon be banned from speaking and writing letters in Arabic during visits and phone calls at one of Australia's highest-security prisons. Under tough new restrictions, 13 prisoners, who are classified as 'Extreme High Risk Restricted' at SuperMax, the compound located within Goulburn jail in NSW, will only be allowed to speak English. State Attorney General Brad Hazzard has called on the laws to take place in a bid to stop radicalisation of Muslim inmates from converting other prisoners, The Sunday Telegraph reports. The law pledges to have prison officers strictly monitor conversations between inmates and visitors as well as refuse or terminate visits if Arabic or any other languages are used. Convicted terrorists will soon be banned from speaking Arabic during visits and phone calls at SuperMax . It comes after the Australian Federal Police revealed the terror alert for police had been raised to 'high' in the wake of terror plotting attacks and anti-terrorism raids across the country. Last September, it was revealed that inmates were able to plot acts of terror from behind bars because they were allowed to write letters, make phone calls and have visits. 'One of the issues that came out of that process was that some of these people, these high-risk ­inmates, were conducting their ­discussions in Arabic, or at least not English,' Mr Hazzard said. But in rare cases, Mr Hazzard said inmates will be allowed to speak another language when their 90-year-old grandmother visits for instance but an immediate translator must be supplied. 'We don't want to create a situation where they feel there's no sense of humanity, because there will be,' Mr Hazzard said. 'But they have to understand the people they're visiting have put our community at risk. There has to be some clear boundaries and rules.'

Mohammad Kiad, 25, and Omar al-Kutobi, 24, are also behind bars at SuperMaz after they were both charged with terrorism offences. The initiative was prompted when prison officers started noticing a rise of inmates converting to Islam, after switching their diet preferences from Western meals to halal, Sunday Telegraph reports.

Istanbul (CNN)A prosecutor involved in a controversial case died Tuesday after he was shot during a hostage siege in an Istanbul courthouse. Prosecutor Mehmet Selim Kiraz died in the hospital from injuries he suffered during the attack, Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said, speaking to reporters on Turkish television. The two gunmen who took the prosecutor hostage were killed in a shootout with police after a standoff that lasted for hours. Kiraz was assigned to the controversial case of Berkin Elvan, a 15-year-old boy who was injured during the anti-government Gezi Park protests in June 2013. The teen died the following March after having spent nine months in a coma. The case, with its overtones of possible police overreaction, has been politically contentious, just as the protests themselves were. In an online post widely cited in Turkish media, the left-wing Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front claimed responsibility for the attack. The post said the gunmen were seeking to avenge Elvan's death. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described the gunmen as terrorists and said they were disguised as lawyers when they entered the courthouse. "This is not to be taken lightly," he said. The gunmen took the prosecutor hostage around 12:30 p.m. in his office on the sixth floor of the Caglayan district courthouse, the semiofficial Anadolu Agency reported. Police evacuated that floor of the building, the agency reported, and snipers were deployed. An explosion, followed by sounds of more gunshots, could be heard coming from the courthouse Tuesday evening, hours after the siege began. Istanbul Police Chief Selami Altinok said Kiraz had been shot before Turkish security teams entered the room where the hostage crisis was unfolding. "There is nothing else to do but to pray at this moment," Erdogan said. The Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, known as the DHKP-C, is viscerally hostile to the Turkish state, the United States and NATO, and has had links with the far left in Europe. The Marxist-Leninist group claimed responsibility for a 2013 suicide bombing at the U.S. Embassy in Ankara. Among other attacks attributed to the DHKP-C was the assassination of a former justice minister, Mehmet Topac, in 1994, as well as the murders of a number of senior police and military officials and, 1996, a prominent businessman, Ozdemir Sabanci.

Annaleisa Gordon was found to have used a police computer to search for information about her ex-husband, Christopher McNair, and has been sacked . An anti-terror policewoman who used Scotland Yard computers to look for information on her ex-husband has been sacked. PC Annaleisa Gordon conducted the unauthorised searches on Christopher McNair while working for the Met's counter-terrorism squad in 2010 and 2011. A court later heard she feared he was dead or missing and was frantically trying to find him. Gordon was found guilty of a data protection offence in 2013 and has now been sacked from the Metropolitan Police. The 50-year-old was appointed counter-terror intelligence officer to the borough of Greenwich, south-east London in 2007 after joining the police in 1988. A Scotland Yard spokesman said today: 'Police Constable Annaleisa Gordon, an officer attached to Specialist Operations, was dismissed without notice on Monday from the Metropolitan Police Service following a misconduct hearing.' The force said that Gordon had 'breached standards of professional behaviour' in relation to 'discreditable conduct and confidentiality'. The spokesman added: 'The panel agreed these circumstances amount to gross misconduct. She was subsequently dismissed.' During her trial, the court heard Gordon feared her ex was missing or even dead and that's why she accessed records, dating back to 2004. She was convicted of one count of obtaining personal data which breached the Data Protection Act. Sentencing her after her two-day trial at Southwark Crown Court, Recorder Aidan Christie said he accepted her actions were 'entirely out of character'. He said she not acted out of 'malice or with sinister motives', but due to fears Mr McNair was missing. Gordon was fined £350 for the data protection offence. She was cleared of a further two charges in relation to searches for information on two roads, one being her mother's and the other her own address, between 2009 and 2011. A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police today confirmed her actions amounted to gross misconduct . The judge said: 'You have no convictions, no cautions, no police warnings and a clean disciplinary record. Your record of service is a credit to you. 'You have references from your former supervisor which speaks in glowing terms of your absolute integrity with sensitive information. 'You accept you should not have go about things in the way you did and should have reported the matter to the missing persons division. 'It was an error of judgment for which you have paid a very high price.'

A transgender teenager has taken his life a year after he became the first trans student to be crowned high school homecoming king in his city. Blake Brockington, who advocated for the rights of sexual minorities after coming out as transgender in his sophomore year, passed away on Monday night, LGBT publication QNotes reported. The 18-year-old had been nominated and later crowned homecoming king of East Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte, North Carolina last year before he graduated. It is believed to be the first time an openly transgender student has been given the title in Charlotte, according to QNotes. Loss: Blake Brockington, pictured as he was crowned homecoming king last year, has taken his life . Advocate: Brockington advocated for rights for sexual minorities and had led rallies against police brutality . 'I honestly feel like this is something I have to do,' Brockington told the publication. He won the title after collecting the most money for the school's chosen charity, Mothering Across Continents, and said he hoped his success would give younger transgender children, including a nine-year-old boy he mentored, strength and encouragement. 'I don't want him to ever have to be scared,' Brockington said. 'I feel like if I do this, that's one red flag for everybody to say, "Nobody should be scared to be themselves and everybody should have an equal opportunity to have an enjoyable high school experience".' But speaking to the Charlotte Observer in January, Brockington revealed how tough the homecoming king process had been. 'That was single-handedly the hardest part of my trans journey,' he said. 'Really hateful things were said on the Internet. It was hard. I saw how narrow-minded the world really is.' Younger years: Brockington is pictured as a baby with a relative. He was raised as a girl but said he never felt right wearing female clothes and came out as transgender in his sophomore year of high school . Fight: Blake, pictured ahead of a rally against police brutality last year, said his biological family had struggled to accept his gender identity and that he had moved in with a foster family . He also revealed the struggles he had faced growing up as transgender and how bad things got at home after he went to his father and stepmother and told them he was a boy. 'My family feels like this is a decision I made,' he said. 'They think, "You're already black, why would you want to draw more attention to yourself?" But it's not a decision. It is who I am. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.' He moved in with a foster family and received counseling as he transitioned to Blake - a name he chose after it came to him in a dream - and began receiving hormone treatment. Following his homecoming king win, he became an advocate for LGBT issues and spoke at last year's Transgender Day of Remembrance event. He also took part in rallies against police brutality. Winner: He was crowned as homecoming king - beating 12 other contenders - of East Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte last year after raising $3,200 for the school's chosen charity . Celebration: He said competing for the crown had been tough because he received many hateful messages online but that he wanted to show transgender children that they could be successful at school . In December, he led activists as they briefly shut down Independence Square in Charlotte before marching through Uptown, QNotes reported. He also took part in the high school band, where he served as drum major, and played on the student rugby team, as well as being a top-grade student. His Facebook page shows was a student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His death was announced on Tuesday morning by Time Out Youth Center, a local LGBT youth services agency and confirmed by police. Funeral arrangements have not been finalized. • For confidential help, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or click here . • For confidential support on suicide matters in the UK, call the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90, visit a local Samaritans branch or click here .
North Carolina teen Blake Brockington killed himself on Monday night . Last summer, he was crowned homecoming king of East Mecklenburg High School - the first time a transgender student earned the title in Charlotte .

<s>[INST] A transgender teenager has taken his life a year after he became the first trans student to be crowned high school homecoming king in his city. Blake Brockington, who advocated for the rights of sexual minorities after coming out as transgender in his sophomore year, passed away on Monday night, LGBT publication QNotes reported. The 18-year-old had been nominated and later crowned homecoming king of East Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte, North Carolina last year before he graduated. It is believed to be the first time an openly transgender student has been given the title in Charlotte, according to QNotes. Loss: Blake Brockington, pictured as he was crowned homecoming king last year, has taken his life . Advocate: Brockington advocated for rights for sexual minorities and had led rallies against police brutality . 'I honestly feel like this is something I have to do,' Brockington told the publication. He won the title after collecting the most money for the school's chosen charity, Mothering Across Continents, and said he hoped his success would give younger transgender children, including a nine-year-old boy he mentored, strength and encouragement. 'I don't want him to ever have to be scared,' Brockington said. 'I feel like if I do this, that's one red flag for everybody to say, "Nobody should be scared to be themselves and everybody should have an equal opportunity to have an enjoyable high school experience".' But speaking to the Charlotte Observer in January, Brockington revealed how tough the homecoming king process had been. 'That was single-handedly the hardest part of my trans journey,' he said. 'Really hateful things were said on the Internet. It was hard. I saw how narrow-minded the world really is.' Younger years: Brockington is pictured as a baby with a relative. He was raised as a girl but said he never felt right wearing female clothes and came out as transgender in his sophomore year of high school . Fight: Blake, pictured ahead of a rally against police brutality last year, said his biological family had struggled to accept his gender identity and that he had moved in with a foster family . He also revealed the struggles he had faced growing up as transgender and how bad things got at home after he went to his father and stepmother and told them he was a boy. 'My family feels like this is a decision I made,' he said. 'They think, "You're already black, why would you want to draw more attention to yourself?" But it's not a decision. It is who I am. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.' He moved in with a foster family and received counseling as he transitioned to Blake - a name he chose after it came to him in a dream - and began receiving hormone treatment. Following his homecoming king win, he became an advocate for LGBT issues and spoke at last year's Transgender Day of Remembrance event. He also took part in rallies against police brutality. Winner: He was crowned as homecoming king - beating 12 other contenders - of East Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte last year after raising $3,200 for the school's chosen charity . Celebration: He said competing for the crown had been tough because he received many hateful messages online but that he wanted to show transgender children that they could be successful at school . In December, he led activists as they briefly shut down Independence Square in Charlotte before marching through Uptown, QNotes reported. He also took part in the high school band, where he served as drum major, and played on the student rugby team, as well as being a top-grade student. His Facebook page shows was a student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His death was announced on Tuesday morning by Time Out Youth Center, a local LGBT youth services agency and confirmed by police.

The soaring Sydney property market will achieve growth of 20 per cent over two years to send the median house price above $1 million, new research suggests. Prices are also set to take off in Brisbane, but growth will be much more subdued in Melbourne and Adelaide, and prices will fall in Perth, according to forecasts from BIS Shrapnel. The economic analysts say there are housing shortages in Sydney and southeast Queensland, and while housing construction activity has lifted, there is limited scope for a long run of growth in construction. Sydney house prices have grown by almost 14 per cent in the year to February, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics data, and BIS Shrapnel expects annual growth of 13 per cent for the 2014/15 financial year. Scroll down for video . The soaring Sydney property market will achieve growth of 20 per cent over two years. Pictured is a house for sale in Paddington . This three-bedroom, two-bathroom property at 106 Boundary Street in Paddington, in the city's inner-east, will go to auction in April . A further seven per cent rise is forecast for 2015/16, which would take the median price to $980,000 and could see it rise above $1 million by 2017. BIS Shrapnel senior manager of residential property Angie Zigomanis said the prices would rise due to interest rate cuts and undersupply. 'There's strong investor demand in Sydney, and in our view we still think there's an undersupply of dwellings,' Mr Zigomanis told Daily Mail Australia. 'There's also probably just an element of FOMO [fear of missing out] there. 'Buyers are worried the market will run ahead of them and they won't be able to get what they want in the area they want.' Brisbane prices are expected to post 14 per cent growth over two years, taking the median price to $540,000 .

Brisbane prices are expected to post 14 per cent growth over two years - six per cent growth in the current financial year and eight per cent growth in 2015/16 - which would take the median price to $540,000. Mr Zigomanis said the populations of Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth were being affected by fewer arrivals and more departures. But he said this change would not hit Brisbane house prices, as construction has been weak and has fallen behind population growth. BIS Shrapnel is tipping Melbourne to post a slow price growth of three per cent in 2014/15, and just two per cent in the following 12 months, which would see the median house price at $685,000 in June 2016. 'It comes down to demand and supply - Melbourne has had extended periods of strong [housing] supply,' Mr Zigomanis said. '[The market] is imbalanced, and slowly tipping to oversupply. And there are still a lot of new construction projects so supply will remain high.' Mr Zigomanis said declines in mining investment would contribute to falls in Perth house prices, with BIS Shrapnel forecasting a one per cent drop this year and a two per cent fall in 2015/16 to see the media house price hit $530,000. 'Perth's had a very strong surge in building, but vacancy rates are rising as people [in the mining industry] leave to go back overseas or back to their home states.' Adelaide's market is also set to slow, with growth of one per cent in the current financial year and two per cent in 2015/16. Median house prices are predicted to get to $435,000 in June 2016. Melbourne is tipped to post a slow price growth of three per cent in 2014/15, and just two per cent in the following 12 months . This house is for sale at 51 Stokes Street in Port Melbourne, a bayside suburb south-west of Melbourne's central business district . The house has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, parking, high ceilings with rafters and timber flooring . BIS Shrapnel said falling interest rates were unlikely to affect house prices as much as housing construction activity. 'For many prospective borrowers the decision on whether to enter the property market or not has already been made and an additional 0.25 per cent off their mortgage will not be enough to change their behaviour,' it said. 'It will probably encourage some purchasers around the fringes, providing a mild boost to the market. 'Activity has already found a momentum of its own which is set to continue for another two years.' Declines in mining investment will contribute to falls in Perth prices, with BIS Shrapnel forecasting a three per cent drop by June 2016 . This house is for sale at 15 Hamilton Street in Bayswater, a north-eastern suburb of Perth .

A supermarket in Canada is urging its customers to remember that beauty is only skin deep, as it begins selling smaller, misshapen produce to help cut waste. Loblaws, the country’s largest food retailer, is selling ‘ugly’ groceries that are up to 30 per cent cheaper than more aesthetically pleasing products. The wonky food is being sold for a campaign called No Name Naturally Imperfect and will begin with apples and potatoes. Loblaws, Canada's largest food retailer, is selling ‘ugly’ groceries that are up to 30 per cent cheaper than more aesthetically pleasing products . The wonky food is being sold for a campaign called No Name Naturally Imperfect and will begin with apples and potatoes . The supermarket said that produce in the Naturally Imperfect program was previously used in juices, sauces or soups, or may not have been harvested due to their small size . Loblaw senior vice president Ian Gordon pointed out that customers often put too much stock in the look of food. He said in a statement: ‘We often focus too much on the look of produce rather than the taste. Once you peel or cut an apple you can't tell it once had a blemish or was misshapen. ‘No Name Naturally Imperfect is a great example of Loblaw and our vendors coming together to find an innovative way to bring nutritious food options to consumers at a great price.’ The supermarket said that produce in the Naturally Imperfect program was previously used in juices, sauces or soups, or may not have been harvested due to their small size. It said: ‘With this program, Loblaw Companies is working to ensure farmers have a market for smaller, misshapen fruit ensuring it does not go to waste.’ Loblaw senior vice president Ian Gordon said customers often put too much stock in the look of food . It’s estimated that around $31billion worth of food is wasted in Canada every year. Loblaws recently said it plans to spend $1.2billion on infrastructure in 2015, which includes building 50 new stores. Earlier this year, Loblaw’s former chief operating officer, Dalton Philips, was ousted from UK supermarket giant Morrisons. The chain’s board said that it wanted a ‘fresh pair of eyes’ to oversee its revival push. Morrisons, the UK's fourth largest grocer, has grappled with a long period of declining sales and profitability but Mr Philips said recent trading offered signs that the turnaround plan announced last year was starting to pay off.
