Tourists are finding themselves in a sticky situation in Seattle, where they have covered a wall entirely in used bubble gum. The colourful work of art – which some passers-by may find revolting – was created by thousands of holidaymakers in an alley near one of the oldest farmers’ markets in the US. David Fulmer, 37, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, took these pictures of the gum wall while on holiday with his girlfriend in the Pacific coast city. The brick wall is decorated with thousands of pieces of colourful bubble gum, stuck on by tourists who have passed the wall over the years. It is believed the first pieces of gum were stuck to the wall around 20 years ago, and the so-called ‘bubble gum alley’ eventually became a tourist attraction as visitors added to it. The sticky attraction was once named one of the ‘germiest’ tourist attractions in the world by TripAdvisor, with some layers several inches thick or as tall as 15ft. David was hoping to visit three National Parks as part of his trip but took a pit stop in Seattle to explore the Pike Place Market. It was under the market that he discovered the alley where the Gum Wall can be admired, adorned in chewed gum from thousands of different mouths. David said: ‘I was a little bit shocked when I first saw the gum wall but after looking at it closely and seeing the thousands of different bits of gum, it makes a really great visual impression. ‘It's a cool and unique thing to discover and as a tourist you don't see something like this every day.’ Scroll down for video .

Bad driver: Anthony Evans-Warner, 17, and his partner-in-crime, 15, held victim at gunpoint to force him to show them how to drive manually . Two teenage thugs who attempted to steal a car by holding a medical student at gunpoint were forced to give up on their crime when they could not figure out how to operate the stick shift.

When the teens discovered that they did not know how to drive the car, they threatened the medical student with the gun to force him to show them how to drive manually. The teens attacked the medical student as he pulled up outside his college accommodation near the NRG Stadium in Houston, The University of Texas At Houston Police Department said. Evans-Warner pointed a gun at the student, and ordered him to get out of his car. 'The suspects were unfamiliar with the operation of a standard transmission and they tried to get the victim to show them how to drive the standard while he was being held at gunpoint,' Inspector Stefan Happ told Click2Houston. While being held at gunpoint, the victim showed the teenage thieves how to drive manually, and was thrown out of his car a few blocks away. 'The officers were chasing the vehicle and apparently they had issues operating the vehicle,' Inspector Happ said. 'They then jumped out of the vehicle and ran on foot.' Police were soon able to apprehend the culprits and return the car to the male student. Evans-Warner, 17, has been charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon, and is being held without bail. The 15-year-old is also being held, but his identity is being withheld due to his young age.

A Venezuelan neurosurgeon has learned a costly lesson after making a joke about a bomb at one of the busiest airports in the US. Dr Manuel Alvarado has agreed to pay $89,000 (approximately £56,500) in compensation after his wisecrack shut part of Miami International Airport, created chaos for thousands of travellers and sparked a massive police response. By agreeing to pay the five-figure penalty, Dr Alvarado has escaped criminal charges of making a false bomb threat and criminal mischief, which carried a potential prison sentence if convicted. 'Ashamed': Dr Manuel Alvarado sparked chaos at Miami's airport after he made a joke about a bomb . The doctor wrote in a confession: ‘I feel very ashamed and sorry for that stupid thing I said. I am very, very sorry.’ Nearly $84,000 (approximately £53,500) will be given to five airlines that had to delay flights after the neurosurgeon told a gate agent that he had explosives in his luggage, the Miami Herald reported. Other funds will be given to the Miami-Dade Police Department, which deployed bomb squad to search Dr Alvarado’s luggage during last October’s bomb scare. Dr Manuel Alvarado said he was carrying 'C-4' when a gate agent asked if he had explosives . The 60-year-old made the joke to an Avianca ticket agent when he was boarding a flight to Bogota, Colombia. After the agent asked if he had any explosives in his luggage, he replied: ‘C-4.’ The agent asked if that was a gun, but he explained that it was an explosive. Police were called in and part of the airport was evacuated until investigators determined there was no threat. Dr Alvarado’s attorney, Brian Bieber, said the surgeon was ‘sleep deprived’ when he made the remark.

Paris Hilton has become the target of anti-Semitic taunts and death threats from a crazed stalker who seems to believe the hotel heiress and her family are Jewish. The 33-year-old - who was raised a Roman Catholic - and her father Rick Hilton have both been targeted on Instagram and Facebook by a man who has posted several abusive messages to the pair. According to TMZ, one of the posts he allegedly wrote read: 'I know ur Jew family gives nothing,' and another stated: 'KILL JEWS FOR FUN (sic)' Paris Hilton (left) - who was raised a Roman Catholic - and her father Rick Hilton (right) have both been targeted by a guy on Instagram and Facebook who has posted several abusive messages to the pair . A post to Rick said: 'one month and she's dead, she's never coming home. (sic)' Another message to Rick read: 'I'll beat u and that bitch to unconscious.(sic)' The man is also alleged to have threatened to sexually assault the 33-year-old star. The Los Angeles Police Department has obtained a warrant to try to track down the man on the social media sites and believe they know who he is. This is not the first time Paris has been hit with death threats. In May 2007, the hotel heiress was sentenced to a 45-day jail term and before the stretch was due to start in June that year she was said to be inundated with threats from inmates. An insider said at the time: 'These maniacs have been writing, "We're going to get you," and, "I'm going to kill you." It's horrifying. 'One person wrote that she's going to steal Paris' shoes when she gets to jail--and if Paris argues, she'll be beaten to a pulp.' Paris said: 'I'm very scared right now.'

An advertising campaign showing a woman's breasts has been blamed for more than 500 traffic accidents in one day. The massive adverts placed on the side of 30 trucks driving around Moscow showed a woman's breasts cupped in her hands with the slogan 'They Attract' across her nipples. As the trucks trundled around the streets of the Russian capital, they left a trail of carnage as male drivers became so distracted they ploughed straight into each other. A total of 517 accidents were reported. Distracting: This is the advert pu on the side of 30 trucks and said to have caused 500 car crashes in Moscow . The stunt, by an advertising agency specialising in mobile adverts, backfired after police sent out patrols to round up all the vehicles and impound them until the risque images could be removed. Motorist Ildar Yuriev, 35, said: 'I was on my way to a business meeting when I saw this truck with a huge photo of breasts on its side go by. 'Then I was hit by the car behind who said he had been distracted by the truck. It made me late and left my car in the garage, and although I am insured I am still out of pocket.' Furious drivers across Moscow have reportedly bombarded the agency with compensation claims. A spokesman for AdvTruck.ru, which ran the promotion said: 'We are planning to bring a new advertising format onto the market, encouraging companies to place their ads on the sides of trucks, as we thought this would be a good alternative to putting them on the sides of public transport. 'We wanted to draw attention to this new format with this campaign' he explained. And he added: 'In all cases of accidents, the car owners will receive compensation costs from us that aren’t covered by their insurance.'

Campaign was intended to show off the visibility of mobile ad hoardings . But as trucks trundled around the capital they left trail of carnage . Stunt backfired when Moscow police impounded all the risque trucks .

Mario Balotelli's continued slump is nothing a touch of tender loving care can't solve, says Andrea Pirlo. The Liverpool striker has struggled severely in front of goal since joining for £16million in the summer. His attitude has also come into question, with critics aiming pot-shots at the Italian's work ethic and general demeanour. VIDEOS Scroll down to watch . Mario Balotelli has struggled to find his feet after signing for Liverpool for £16million in the summer . The Italian striker (pictured reacting against Hull City) is yet to score a Premier League goal for the Reds . But Pirlo - who played alongside Balotelli at AC Milan and for Italy - believes the 24-year-old merely needs an arm around the shoulder from his manager Brendan Rodgers. ‘The difference between other players and Mario is that every action he takes is going to be scrutinised,' Pirlo said. 'The media is interested in him, and things he does are going to be highlighted - where perhaps with other players they would not get such a reaction - or maybe even no reaction at all. ‘There is no question over his talent - I have played with him and I know how good he is and how good he can be. It is the job of the Liverpool coach to manage him in the right way.' Juventus' Andrea Pirlo said Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers needs to show some love to Balotelli . Rodgers has so far persevered with Balotelli up front in the league but faces some difficult decisions . Liverpool fans will be left wondering why Balotelli has still failed to score in the Premier League, but Pirlo is left in no doubt that his former team-mate will become a star on Merseyside. ‘He needs to be loved, he needs direction, but most importantly he needs to know that the coach believes in him,' the midfielder added. 'If he spends time with Mario - I know he can still go on and be a great player for Liverpool.'

Mario Balotelli is yet to score a Premier League goal for Liverpool . Italian striker has been criticised much recently for his performances . The Reds signed the Italian from AC Milan for £16million . Andrea Pirlo believes Balotelli needs some TLC to realise his potential .

A Ryanair passenger got a surprise when he became the budget airline’s 13 millionth customer to pass through Shannon Airport yesterday. Piotr Rachuta received a personal visit from the Dublin-based carrier’s controversial chief executive, Michael O’Leary, who is making strides to tone down his abrasive persona and improve his reputation in the public eye. Mr O’Leary congratulated Mr Rachuta and his wife, Marta, and their four-year-old daughter, Amelia, and informed all passengers that they would be given a free flight. Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary, left, poses with Piotr Rachuta, his wife, Marta, and daughter, Amelia . The family, from Poland, was travelling from Shannon to Wroclaw when they were surprised by Mr O’Leary, who made the announcement as passengers waited at the gate. Mr Rachuta told the Irish Independent: ‘I didn’t expect this today when I came to Shannon Airport for sure. I am very surprised and very happy.’ The Rachuta family was given a free flight and hotel accommodation, in addition to duty free vouchers and executive lounge passes. Mr O’Leary said: ‘This is such an important flight for us because on today’s flight to Wroclaw, we have our 13th millionth passenger that Ryanair has carried through Shannon Airport.’ Mr O'Leary informs Piotr Rachuta that he is the airline's 13 millionth passenger to travel through Shannon . Mr Nice Guy: Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary has admitted that he should have been 'nicer' sooner . The publicity stunt was part of the airline’s charm offensive to win over customers and, ultimately, boost its traffic. Mr O’Leary has admitted in interviews that the airline, notorious for its surcharges and customer service, should have been ‘nicer’ to passengers sooner. The executive, who once called his customers ‘stupid’ and told refund-hunters to ‘f*** off’, has admitted his loose-lipped and coarse persona is perhaps bad for the airline’s brand. He is trying to position himself as a warmer and friendlier executive as Ryanair looks to expand.

The Colombian women's cycling team were meant to be showing the world what they were made of as they posed in their new kit this week. But they appeared to show a little too much as all eyes were drawn to the bizarre new flesh-coloured design stretching across their lower torso. As the smiling athletes took to the stage, they seemed blissfully unaware of the blunder, which left them looking completely exposed at the groin. Scroll down for video . Strip-tease:  Colombian women's cycling team proudly pose in their startling new kit design in Italy this week . The Colombian team, which is sponsored by the country's capital city of Bogota, was wearing the outfit to take part in a cycling competition in Italy. The race is held in honour of former Italian champion, Michela Fanini, whose promising career was cut short when she died in a car crash in 1994 at just 21 years old.. It is difficult to ascertain whether the outrageous new strip was a publicity stunt or a genuine fashion faux-pas but the team may think twice about turning out in it again. The design has caused a stir on social media - with many ranking it among the worst kits ever seen at a sporting event. Some joked on Twitter that they had gone out to buy the kit, while others criticised the stunt for going too far. Comparisons were also made with other sporting fashion mishaps- such as the Scottish team's kit at this summer's Commonwealth Games which involved a strange tartan and blue spotted design. Bare ambition: The six athletes pose for a photo with one of their coaches ahead of this week's race .

Peanuts cause allergic reactions chiefly when they have been dry-roasted, a study suggests. Tests carried out by Oxford University researchers found that eaten raw the nuts had little effect on the immune system. They are now working on safe, dry-roasted peanuts to help prevent an allergy that affects one in 50 children. Peanuts cause allergic reactions chiefly when they have been dry-roasted, a study suggests (file picture) ‘We did a simple experiment and found that the mice fed the dry-roasted proteins got an immune response indicative of allergy,’ said researcher Quentin Sattentau. ‘Whereas the mice fed the raw peanut proteins didn’t or did to a much lesser extent.’ The result was the same whether the mice were fed peanut protein or had it rubbed into broken skin – both ways in which peanuts are thought to trigger allergies in humans. Professor Sattentau added: ‘This is the first time, to our knowledge, that a potential trigger for peanut allergy has been directly shown.’ The finding helps explain why peanut allergy is much more common here than in the Far East, where the nuts are more commonly eaten raw, boiled or fried. It is believed that the process of dry-roasting involves temperatures high enough to change the peanut’s chemistry in a way that confuses the immune system and leads to allergic reactions. It will be some years before safer dry-roasted peanuts are on supermarket shelves and the complex nature of the immune system means that those who already have a peanut allergy are unlikely to be helped. While the majority of reactions are mild, nut allergy can trigger a life-threatening anaphylactic shock. The Oxford team said it would be premature for people to avoid the nuts because of their research, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

Former Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has hit out at a section of fans campaigning for current boss Arsene Wenger to be sacked. Despite earning a hard-fought victory against West Brom on Saturday, travelling fans displayed a banner which read, 'Arsene, thanks for the memories but it's time to say goodbye'. The Arsenal fans may have grown tired of watching their side battle for fourth place each season, but the man who appointed Wenger 18 years ago believes calls for the Frenchman to be sacked are 'ridiculous'. Former Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has backed Gunners boss Arsene Wenger (above) Gunners fans unfurled this banner despite watching their team defeat West Brom on Saturday . Hill-Wood told the Daily Star: 'Thoroughly ignorant people seem to have a say nowadays. 'It is a few hotheads jumping up and down thinking they are being clever. 'It is the most ridiculous way to behave really because normal people are forever saying boards act too hastily when they get rid of a manager.' Hill-Wood believes Arsenal fans shouldn't be calling for Wenger to be sacked . Despite a slow start to the 2014-15 Premier League campaign, the Gunners still find themselves within two points of fourth spot, but the Emirates faithful will argue that playing for a Champions League place isn't enough. Hill-Wood added: 'Here we have a really good one with the team sixth in the league and into the last 16 of the Champions League for the 15th consecutive season . 'I don't take too much notice of it and it isn't going to influence the board, I am sure of that.' Hill-Wood appointed Wenger as Gunners boss 18 years ago and was the club's chairman for 31 years .

It’s the perfect excuse for men to politely decline requests to lug their other half’s overstuffed suitcase down the stairs. Women may actually be better at carrying heavy bags than men. Researchers have found hikers with smaller frames can be better equipped to carry heavy loads than larger people. Women may be better at carrying heavy bags: Researchers have found hikers with smaller frames can be better equipped to carry heavy loads than larger people . The US scientists believe this may be because walkers carrying backpacks also have to haul their own body weight. Hiking guidelines say that the weight of a backpack should correspond to body size, with smaller individuals bearing lighter burdens. However, scientists from Kansas State University believe such advice is ‘misleading’. Professor Michael O’Shea, who led the research, said: ‘Overall strength of an individual does not determine how heavy a backpack a person can comfortably carry.’ Research: Scientists from Kansas State University (above) have cast doubt on hiking guidelines which say that the weight of a backpack should correspond to body size, with smaller individuals bearing lighter burdens . He added: ‘As the size of any animal increases, strength increases more slowly than body weight – the reason why tiny ants can carry a disproportionately heavy load compared to their weight.’ He noted that smaller hikers could carry heavier bags than larger students with similar levels of fitness. Professor O’Shea came up with an equation using pack weight and body proportion data to determine the maximum backpack load for a person of given size.

Clubs in the Sky Bet Championship have agreed new Financial Fair Play rules in line with those currently used by the Premier League. The regulations, which come into force at the start of the 2016-17 campaign, will see clubs have their financial performance monitored over three seasons rather than one, the same time frame as top-flight clubs. The current maximum permitted loss of £8million per season has been increased to an aggregate of £39million over the three seasons before a club would face sanctions. Clubs in the Championship have agreed to new Financial Fair Play rules . In the meantime the existing Championship FFP framework will remain in place for the current season and next term, while any punishments due for breaching the rules for last season will still be imposed in December. The new set of rules, agreed at an EGM at Derby's iPro Stadium on Thursday morning, will in future be known as the 'Profitability and Sustainability' regulations. Meanwhile, a vote between clubs in Leagues One and Two over the introduction of artificial pitches was tied, meaning the proposals have not been approved. The regulations will see clubs have their financial performance monitored over three seasons rather than one . In what the League called an 'unprecedented' result, 34 clubs voted in favour and 34 against, with four abstentions. Football League chief executive, Shaun Harvey, said: 'This vote is reflective of the fact that this issue divides opinion amongst clubs as much as it does across the football public. 'While the outcome is different to previous indicative votes, it demonstrates that there is still a desire amongst clubs to find out more about artificial playing surfaces before taking such a significant step.'

Novak Djokovic still looks the man to beat at Flushing Meadows after he cruised into the fourth round with a comfortable victory over American Sam Querrey. The Serb, who won Wimbledon earlier this year, has not been tested in any of his matches so far and needed just an hour and 25 minutes to dispatch Querrey 6-3, 6-2, 6-2.

That now appears to be subsiding after pictures of Theo Walcott training at London Colney on Monday, with Olivier Giroud also closing in on a return. Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil are both still missing - as well as Mathieu Debuchy - but Wenger has reason for cheer. Roy Hodgson had played down the extent of Welbeck's knock immediately after the game. 'I don't think he's injured. He just rolled his ankle slightly. The doctors are not worried about it,' he said. The former Manchester United forward arrived at the Emirates in a £16million move on deadline day and, despite the fears of some Arsenal supporters, has impressed with four goals - including a hat-trick in the Champions League against Galatasaray.

Rio Ferdinand says Roy Hodgson has to find the right formula and get his England players performing at the level they do for their clubs. Hodgson's men were largely uninspiring in Wednesday's 1-0 international win over Norway, when just 40,181 people turned up to watch at Wembley. And QPR defender Ferdinand, who captained England seven times during a 14-year international career which saw him amass 81 caps, believes the responsibility lies with the manager to get them playing at their best. Right formula: Roy Hodgson needs to find a system that suits his players, says Rio Ferdinand . Wasted: Former England captain says previous managers did not get the best out of the 'golden generation' Asked why the country's best players have struggled to reproduce their club form on international duty, Ferdinand looked at the recent past. Managers such as Sven-Goran Eriksson, Fabio Capello and Steve McClaren were unable to inspire the so-called 'golden generation' to major success on the international stage. Established internationals such as John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and Ferdinand have now all retired from the international game. The 35-year-old told Football Focus on BBC1: 'Look at the 'golden generation'. Why didn't they succeed? Partly it was down to us - but maybe we weren't set up the right way.

A common viral infection could increase a person's risk of developing diabetes later in life - and they may not even realise they have contracted it. The Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is part of the herpes family and can be sexually-transmitted. It can also be spread via coughs and sneezes and it is estimated around half of all adults have been infected. The virus tends to remain dormant and most people don't exhibit any symptoms, but if they do they are similar to flu. Around half of people in the UK are thought to be infected with the Cytomegalovirus . However, new research from Leiden University and the University of Tubingen in Germany suggests it is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes in the elderly. They found adults aged 85 and over who were infected with cytomegalovirus were about twice as likely to have type 2 diabetes compared with those not infected. The team analysed information from more than 500 elderly adults in the Netherlands. Around 80 per cent were infected with cytomegalovirus and 15 per cent had type 2 diabetes. While 17 percent of those infected with cytomegalovirus had type 2 diabetes, only 7.9 per cent of those without the virus had the condition. People with type 2 diabetes tend to have their blood glucose levels checked every two to six months . Obesity and aging are known to be associated with insulin resistance, one of the first signs of type 2 diabetes. However, only a third of these people go on to develop the condition. Those who develop type 2 diabetes usually have raised levels of biological markers for inflammation such . as larger numbers of active white blood cells. The researchers found chronic infections including CMV can 'stress' the immune system. They suggested the virus could be acting directly on pancreatic cells or indirectly by causing the immune system to attack the pancreas. The study appears in BioMed Central's open access journal Immunity and Ageing.

A worshiper found his prayers for financial security were answered at Jerusalem's sacred Western Wall. The man discovered an envelope containing $500m of cheques stuffed into one of its cracks of the holy landmark. The iconic wall in Israel's capital has for centuries been a focal point for worshipers of numerous religions, who tuck slips of paper with prayers written on them into the historic structure. Holy site: Worshipers pray at the Western Wall in Jerusalem . The envelope, discovered on Wednesday, was filled with more than 500 signed cheques - some written for $1m. Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz, who oversees the wall, said most of them were Nigerian, with some from Europe, Asia and the United States. But the cheques were not addressed to anyone and would most likely bounce if someone attempted to cash them in. The worshiper handed the envelope to police, via a lawyer. Officers are investigating whether the cheques are forgeries. Pilgrimage: U.S. president Barrack Obama leaves a prayer in the wall . Rabbi Rabinowitch said he has found cheques, mainly written by worshipers from Africa, in the wall's charity box before, but all them bounced. He told New York Daily News he believes who ever left the $500m of cheques was well intentioned and thinks he 'wanted to give all they had to the creator of the universe.' The Western Wall is located in Jerusalem's Old City at the Temple Mount and is one of the most sacred sites in Judaism. It is part of an ancient wall which surrounded the Temple's courtyard and is believed to have been built in 19BC, with much of structure now lying below street level. Sacred: The wall in the Old City is believed to date back to 19BC .

Sri Lanka won the toss on an increasingly cloudy afternoon ahead of this day-night match, and brought Thilina Kandamby in for Mahela Jayawardene - who is missing the fixture for personal reasons. The contest started at 9am GMT and you can keep up to date with the scores here.

At 95, an elderly man from Denmark is still able to lift weights that most people a quarter of his age wouldn't be able to budge from the ground. Even more astonishingly, it was only two-and-a-half years ago that powerlifter Svend Stensgaard was rushed to hospital after having a heart attack. Yet a video filmed of him working out at the gym - in a room full of boys young enough to be his great-grandchildren - proves just how fit and healthy he is in later life. In the footage, the jacked Dane defies stereotypes of pensioners as frail and feeble beings clad in their bedroom slippers. Both standing and lying on his back, he is seen shifting a whopping 290 pounds of weight as he controls his breathing to establish a rhythm. Mr Stensgaard says in the interview that exercising, which releases a lot of stress-fighting endorphins, is comparable to a 'dosage of morphine' for him.

At the end of the video, Mr Stensgaard adds that he was born to do this and has no plans to stop despite growing older. It gives him something pleasurable to do and look forward to. 'For me, I exercise because I can't think of myself sitting at home and doing nothing.' Determined: After suffering health problems, he could barely lift 1kg but now he is back to shifting 290 pounds above his head .

Kurt Zouma's Chelsea career got off to a flying start on Wednesday night when the 19-year old scored on his debut, but's it not just his goal that has got people talking. The French centre back scored the opener in a2-1 win against Bolton in the Capital One Cup, but something catching people's eye just as much is his full name - Kurt Happy Zouma. Born in Lyon, France, Zouma takes his first name from a film character played by Belgian actor Jean-Claude Van Damme. Kurt Zouma is very happy as he celebrates after scoring the opening goal at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday . Zouma fires past Andy Lonergan in the Bolton goal to open the scoring . Jean-Claude Van Damme stars as Kurt Sloane, who must must learn the ancient kick boxing art of Muay Thai in order to avenge his brother, who was paralysed by a rival during a fight. The 1989 film is considered a cult classic. His parents, evidently fans of the 1989 movie Kickboxer, named their son after the star, 'Kurt Sloane'. Zouma explained the revelance to Chelseafc.co.uk: . 'In the film, he helps everyone and is super strong,' the France U21 defender revealed. 'So my parents decided that if they gave me that name I'd be hard and always have a smile. Apparently it worked.' And that certainly seemed the case on Wednesday night, as Zouma's smile stretched from ear to ear during the celebrations for his goal. The youngster joined Chelsea in January 2014 for £12million, but was immediately loaned back to his selling club Saint-Etienne for the remainder of the season. Another quirk in Zouma's profile is his middle name - Happy. In some African culture, it is common practice to relate middle names to virtues, and the defender will certainly have been happy after his goal and a win on his debut.

Surfer extraordinaire Brandy the Pug has created quite a ripple both in and out of the ocean at Del Mar beach in San Diego with his admirable ability to ride big waves.

A teenage girl with mental health issues was kept in a police cell for two days because there were no free NHS beds in the whole country. The 16-year-old was detained by Devon and Cornwall officers on Thursday after allegedly causing a breach of the peace at Torbay Hospital. She was sectioned under the Mental Health Act on Friday. But there were no free beds for children with mental health issues in England, so she stayed in a cell. Police bought her McDonald’s food and her mother visited, bringing officers chocolates to thank them. Devon and Cornwall officers on Thursday took the 16-year-old girl into custody after an alleged breach of peace. NHS England last night eventually provided her with a 'local bed' (file photo) The issue was finally resolved last night when NHS England said she would be put in a ‘local bed’ at once. Earlier, Assistant Chief Constable Paul Netherton had revealed his frustration on Twitter, saying: ‘This can’t be right! … Custody on a Fri night is no place for a child suffering mental health issues. Nurses being sourced to look after her in custody!?’ Police can detain anyone having a mental health crisis for up to 72 hours, but problems arise if detainees need an inpatient bed. A report earlier this year found that there are fewer than 2,000 beds for young mental health patients in England. MP Sarah Wollaston, a former GP, described the delay in finding a bed as ‘abhorrent’.

An amateur mixed martial arts fighter at a Spokane event on Friday attempted a spectacular maneuver: an off-the-cage roundhouse kick aimed right at his unwitting opponent's face. It failed spectacularly. Instead of landing his kick, the ill-fated go-getter wound up landing face first in the middle of the ring. That left him wide open for his opponent to leap in and pummel him, which the opponent did. The amateur brawler was likely attempting to replicate professional UFC fighter Anthony Pettis's signature Showtime kick. Pettis, a UFC championship titleholder, got his nickname Showtime from the move. It also helped him become the UFC lightweight champion, as well as a fan favorite. As the Deadspin writer who first pointed out the failed attempt says, it's 'a spectacular reminder that we must dare to dream.' Spectacular move: An amateur MMA fighter (right) near Spokane attempted a spectacular move during a cage match on Friday . Off the cage: The fighter was trying to catapult himself off the cage and propel a flying kick toward his opponent, who can be seen just behind the pole at center . Fail: The fighter succeeded in propelling himself...right into the mat, where his opponent pounced . Oops: All the amateur fighter succeeded in doing was take a beating for his poor decision making . How it's supposed to look: Here, pro UFC fighter Anthony Pettis uses his signature Showtime kick . The kick has earned Pettis the nickname Showtime and helped him become the UFC lightweight champ as well as a fan favorite .

The fighter at a Spokane mixed martial arts cage match ended up being the one who suffered after he tried the difficult maneuver .

Remote Russian roads don't have rules, you've just got to reach the other end. And in this amusing video, one daring driver decides to play chicken - with a tank. Singing 'We are going to crash head on, go,' as he approaches the behemoth of a tank, it's really heart-in-the-mouth stuff. The driver is full of confidence that he will win this game of 'chicken' with the army tank . And he is proved right, as the tank turns sharply off the dirt track and onto the scrubland . The tank makes a turn just in time as this shot shows how close the two came to a crash . But some 20 or so yards ahead, the truck takes a left, and out of the way of the brave (and perhaps a little erratic) car driver. 'Ha, scared,' yelps a more-than-pleased driver, before uttering the word of the game we all knew he was playing; 'chicken.'

The Black Cats recovered from their narrow defeat to CD Nacional last time out as they avoided a similar result against Setubal, however in truth it was a dull affair with few chances of note. The Premier League side were very unfortunate not to receive a penalty in the second period after Adam Johnson appeared to be taken down in the box, but his protests were waved away. Find a way: Emanuel Giaccherini tries to find a way past the Setubal defence . Applause: Steven Fletcher applauds the travelling Sunderland faithful in Portugal . Sunderland: Pantilimon, Mavrias, O’Shea, Roberge, van Aanholt, Bridcutt, Gomez, Giaccherini (Ba 76), Johnson, Wickham, Fletcher (N’Diaye 59). Vitoria Setubal: Ricardo Baptista, Venancio, Joao, Paulo Tavares, Giovani, Miguel Pedro, Marcos, Quieros, Dani, Ney, Ziquinha. Subs not used: Cattermole, Brown, Dixon. The former Manchester City winger also went closest to breaking the deadlock when his long-range effort went just wide of goal. After a quiet opening it was the home side who showed the first signs of threatening to break the deadlock, having the ball in the net as early as the 12th minute through Giovani - but the goal was correctly ruled out for offside. Just minutes later the hosts were again unfortunate not to take the lead when Queiros' effort was brilliantly blocked by Costel Pantilimon at point blank range. The visitors stepped up their game slightly in the second half, with Johnson's long-range strike inches away from giving the Black Cats the lead. Poyet's side ended their three-match tour with a win, defeat and a draw, scoring one goal in the process. Sunderland face friendlies against Real Betis and Udinese before their season opener away at West Brom in a fortnight.

Sam Allardyce believes Manchester United have entered panic mode in the transfer market after failing to deliver signings for David Moyes last season. Moyes was sacked in April having failed to live up to the expectations at Old Trafford, and his permanent successor Louis van Gaal has since spent close to £150million on new players. And Allardyce, speaking exclusively to The Sun, sympathises with Moyes after the Scot wasn't backed with the same amount of money. Louis van Gaal has had a difficult start to his Manchester United reign after seeing his side lose to Leicester . David Moyes was replaced by Van Gaal after Allardyce insists United failed to give him the signings he needed . Angel di Maria and Falcao were marquee signings for Manchester United but they're still struggling . 'There was a complacency by United in not going out and delivering the signings David felt he needed,' the West Ham manager said. 'Now there's a panic on.' Moyes brought in Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata over two transfer windows during his time at the club, while Angel di Maria, Ander Herrera, Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo and even Radamel Falcao arrived in the summer for Van Gaal. Allardyce added that Moyes wasn't able to sign the players he wanted at United, which may have affected the results on the field. 'He will obviously look at what he might have done better but he should have done better but he should have got the players he wanted and he tells me he didn't get any of them.'

Louis van Gaal is insistent that despite the influx of foreign players at Old Trafford this summer, everyone at the club must speak English. Spanish speakers Ander Herrera, Angel Di Maria, Marcos Rojo and Radamel Falcao have all joined Manchester United, and communicate in their mother tongue with each other and Spaniards David de Gea and Juan Mata. And although Van Gaal can himself speak fluent Spanish from his time at Barcelona, he has ordered his players to be communicating in English by the end of the season. Louis van Gaal has told his Spanish speaking players that they must learn English by the end of the season . Spanish speakers Angel di Maria and Ander Herrera joined Manchester United this summer . Radamel Falcao speaks good English and barely used an interpreter when unveiled as a United player . 'You know already that all the Spanish players have lessons in English so we have started already more than two weeks,' he was quoted as saying in the Manchester Evening News. 'We are only two weeks in this country because we were in the USA and after that we had the international week. But I can speak Spanish so it is better to communicate sometimes on the pitch in Spanish. Van Gaal speaks Spanish himself but is keen for English to be the dressing room's language . 'But they shall learn English within one year, I promise.' United's Spanish speakers could be helped in their quest to learn the new language by Colombian striker Falcao, who speaks good English, and impressed Van Gaal at his unveiling when he spoke the language with barely any need for an interpreter. One player who could look to emulate Falcao is winger Antonio Valencia, who has been ordered by Van Gaal to take English lessons – despite having lived in England for eight years. Like our Manchester United Facebook page. Antonio Valencia has been told to have English lessons by Van Gaal despite living in England since 2006 .

A spokesperson for the Australia Dental Association has warned of the dangers of such inappropriate behaviour. “This is reckless behaviour and could result in serious damage to the teeth, gums and palate which may be permanent."

'We could score a couple more goals, especially the Hazard one. I am proud of my players though.
